Answer:
Missing word "Use the high-low method to determine operating cost equation y=$_____, x + $ = ____"
Cost on (800*90%)=720 units is 220,040
Cost on (800*80%) = 640 Units is 215,480
Variable cost per unit = Changes in total cost/High activity-low activity = 4560 / 80 = $57 per unit
Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost = 220,040 - (720*$57) = 220,040 - 41,040 = $179000
Cost equation:
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit
Y = 179000 + 57X
Y = 179000 + (57*440)
Y = $204,080
Jenny, who is married and the mother of three, is 25 years old and expects to work until 70. She earns $45,000 per year. Jenny expects inflation to be 3% over her working life, and the appropriate risk-free discount rate is 5%. Her personal consumption is equal to 25% of her after-tax earnings, and her combined federal and state marginal tax bracket is 15%. What is the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method
Answer:
$855,903.20
Explanation:
Real discounting rate=> i= [i'-f]/[1+f]. Where i is the real interest rate. i' is the nominal interest rate which is given as 5% and f is the rate of inflation
i = (5%-3%)/1+3%)
i = 2/1.3
i = 1.94%
Her after tax earnings = 45,000*(1-0.15) = $38,250
Personal consumption = 25% of this, 38,250*0.75 = $28,688.
We are discounting her earnings back 45 years at 1.94%. The equation will be: 28,688 * {1-(1+0.01940)^-45} / {0.01940}
= 28,688 * {1 - 0.42120322099] / 0.01940
= 28,688 * 29.83488551597938
= 855903.1956824165
= $855,903.20
So, the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method is $855,903.20

Round to the nearest percent if necessary. Type an answer and press enter to submit%
Answer:
8%
Explanation:
Following is the require reserve ratio:
Required reserve ratio = Reserves/ Deposits
Required reserve ratio = $800/$10,000 * 100
Required reserve ratio = 0.08 * 100
Required reserve ratio = 8%
So, the required reserve ratio for YooHoo Bank’s is 8%.

Adams Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows: Super Supreme Sales price $ 95 $ 124 Variable cost per unit (58 ) (74 ) Contribution margin per unit $ 37 $ 50 Adams expects to incur annual fixed costs of $227,880. The relative sales mix of the products is 60 percent for Super and 40 percent for Supreme. Required Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Adams must sell to break even. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even
Answer:
Expected contribution as per sales mix = $37*0.60 + $50*0.40
= $22.20 + $20
= $42.20 per unit
Total number of products in total at break even point = Total fixed cost / Contribution per unit
= $227,880 / $42.20 per unit
= 5,400 units
How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even?
According to sales mix:
Super = 5,400 * 60% = 3,240 units
Supreme = 5,400 * 40% = 2,160 units.
Sheffield Corp. assigned $1601000 of accounts receivable to Pharoah Company as security for a loan of $1344000. Pharoah charged a 2% commission on the amount of the loan; the interest rate on the note was 9%. During the first month, Sheffield collected $404000 on assigned accounts after deducting $1480 of discounts. Sheffield accepted returns worth $5400 and wrote off assigned accounts totaling $11910. The amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was
Answer:
$1,317,120
Explanation:
Cash received by Sheffield Corporation at the time of assignment = Amount borrowed - Commission paid
= $1,344,000 - ($1,344,000 * 2%)
= $1,344,000 - $26,880
= $1,317,120
So, the amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was $1,317,120
Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.
Solution :
Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :
-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.
-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.
-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Month Kilometres Driven Van Operating Costs
January 16,000 $5,490
February 17,500 5,700
March 14,900 4,910
April 16,200 5,340
May 16,900 5,820
June 15,100 5,410
July 14,500 4,920
High-Low Method:
February 17,500 5,700
July 14,500 4,920
Difference 3,000 780
Variable cost per unit = $780/3,000 = $0.26
Total variable cost at February figures = $4,550 (17,500 * $0.26)
Total fixed costs at February figures = $1,150 ($5,700 - $4,550)
Operating cost equation = $0.26x + $1,150
Operating cost at a volume of 16,000 = $1,150 + $0.26 * 16,000
= $1,150 + 4,160
= $5,310

Since EBIT is not necessarily indicative of cash flow, many financial analysts adjust the formulation by: a. adding unpaid taxes to EBIT in the TIE formula b. adding unpaid taxes and interest to EBIT in the formula c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula d. adding unpaid taxes, interest and depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Answer: c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Explanation:
The Times Interest Earned Ratio is used to measure the ease by which a company can pay its interest charges using its earnings before tax.
As depreciation is a non-cash expense, the amount apportioned to depreciation can be used when paying for interest so adding it back to the EBIT ensures that the cash resources of the company are included in the analysis of whether a company can pay back debt.

Prior to May 1, Fortune Company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 130 shares of its common stock on May 1 for $6,500. On July 1, it reissued 65 of these shares at $53 per share. On August 1, it reissued the remaining treasury shares at $48 per share. What is the balance in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2
Answer:
Fortune Company
There is a balance of ($65) in the Paid-in Capital, Treasury Stock account on August 2.
However, this balance will be transferred to the Additional Paid-in Capital account at year-end, since there are no outstanding shares for the Treasury Stock account.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
May 1 Repurchase of 130 shares (Treasury Stock) = $6,500
July 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $53 per share = (3,445)
August 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $48 per share = (3,120)
August 2, Balance in the Paid-in Capital = ($65)
b) The Treasury Stock account is a contra Paid-in Capital account which records transactions involving the repurchase and reissue of treasury shares. Treasury shares represent the company's own shares which are repurchased from its investors.
Two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive
process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation
include:
Answer:
task performance and group maintenance.
Explanation:
Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.
This ultimately implies that, beyond an individual possessing the traits or qualities of a leader, leadership in itself is a process that revolves around the activities or happenings between the leader and those who he or she is leading, which are the followers. Thus, leadership is simply a continuous process and it's transactional in nature because it occurs between a leader and the followers.
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.
Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive power, etc.
Hence, two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation include task performance and group maintenance.
Leaders are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the follower performs his or her duties or tasks as stated in the contract and to foster cohesion among the various team members.
A-Rod Manufacturing Company is trying to calculate its cost of capital for use in making a capital budgeting decision. Mr. Jeter, the vice-president of finance, has given you the following information and has asked you to compute the weighted average cost of capital.
The company currently has outstanding a bond with a 10.6 percent coupon rate and another bond with an 8.2 percent rate. The firm has been informed by its investment banker that bonds of equal risk and credit rating are now selling to yield 11.5 percent. The common stock has a price of $60 and an expected dividend (D1) of $1.80 per share. The historical growth pattern (g) for dividends is as follows:
1.35
1.49
1.64
1.80
The preferred stock is selling at $80 per share and pays a dividend of $7.60 per share. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent. The flotation cost is 2.5 percent of the selling price for preferred stock. The optimum capital structure for the firm is 25 percent debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 65 percent common equity in the form of retained earnings.
(a) Compute the historical growth rate. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole percent. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Answer:
PV = 1.35
FV = 1.8
n = 3
a. Growth rate = Rate(N, -PV, FV)
Growth rate = Rate(3, -1.35, 1.8)
Growth rate = 0.10
Growth rate = 10%
B. Cost of debt Kd (After tax) = 11.5%*(1-0.30) = 8.05%
Cost of preference share Kp = Dividend/Price = 7.6 /[80*(1 - 0.025)] = 9.74%
Cost of equity Ke = D1/P0+g = 1.8/60 + 0.1 = 0.03+0.1 = 0.13 = 13%
c. Source Weight A COC(%)(B) Weight cost of capital(A*B)

makes a product with the following standards for direct labor and variable overhead: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct labor 0.20 hours $ 26.00 per hour $ 5.20 Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 6.20 per hour $ 1.24 In November the company's budgeted production was 6500 units, but the actual production was 6300 units. The company used 1550 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $8990. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Given that;
Direct labor hours used to produce this output = 1,550
Actual variable overhead cost = $8,990
Variable overhead per hour = $6.2
The variable overhead rate variance for July is;
= Direct labor hours used to produce this out put × (Actual variable overhead rate per hour - Variable overhead per hour)
= 1,550 × ($8,990/1,550 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × ($5.8 - $6.2)
= 1,550 × (-$0.4)
= $620 favorable
Given the following information, which of the following firms has the lowest required rate of return? Group of answer choices
a. Schuldig Co. has a current share price of $5.50, an expected dividend of $1.05 per share, and a negative growth rate of 10%.
b. Iccarus Inc. has a current share price of $275.80, an expected dividend of $3.10, and a growth rate of 14%
c. Simpson, LLC. has a current share price of 94.30, an expected dividend of $3.00, and a growth rate of 10%.
d. I don't know that!
Answer:
Shuldig Co. has the lowest required rate of return
Explanation:
Shuldig Co.
$5.50 = $1.05 / (Re + 10%)
Re = 19% - 10% = 9%
Iccarus Inc.
$275.80 = $3.10 / (Re - 14%)
Re = 1.1% + 14% = 15.1%
Simpson LLC.
$94.30 = $3.00 / (Re - 10%)
Re = 3.2% + 10% = 13.2%
Crowding-out is the notion that:_________
a. Since tax revenues vary directly with GDP, a rise in the level of GDP will increase the budget surplus and limit expansion
b. Deficit financing will increase the demand for money, increase the interest rate, and reduce the level of investment spending in the economy
c. The standardized budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out investment
d. The actual budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out saving
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The theory of crowding out is that as government spending and borrowing increases, the demand for money would increase. This would lead to an increase in interest rate. As a result, the level of investment spending would decline. The theory submits that increased government spending would drive down private spending

b. A Venezuelan-style economic collapse would be less likely in a mixed economy like the United States because
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused.
b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.
c. mixed economies like the United States usually have a more equal distribution of income.
d. inflation is always low in a mixed economy.
Answer:
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused. b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.Explanation:
Venezuela is a planned / command economy which means that the government directs production of goods and services in the country. This can lead to corruption as those in government would become quite powerful and engage in activities that would make them richer at the expense of the nation because they will have the required access to do so.
As the government directs most things, there is less private industry and competition. With a lack of competition, companies will not see the need to compete and would end up being inefficient.
These are what happened in Venezuela.
Hughes Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent and the company just paid a $2.35 dividend, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Answer: $53.94
Explanation:
Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.
Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)
= $64
D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867
D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $3.49774
D₃ = 3.49774 * 1.22 = $4.2672428
Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (3.49774 / 1.12²) + (4.2672428 / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)
= $53.94
Rusty has been experiencing serious financial problems. His annual salary was $100,000, but a creditor garnished his salary for $20,000; so the employer paid the creditor (rather than Rusty) the $20,000. To prevent creditors from attaching his investments, Rusty gave his investments to his 21-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Rebecca received $5,000 in dividends and interest from the investments during the year. Rusty transferred some cash to a Swiss bank account that paid him $6,000 interest during the year. Rusty did not withdraw the interest from the Swiss bank account. Rusty also hid some of his assets in his wholly owned corporation that received $150,000 rent income but had $160,000 in related expenses, including a $20,000 salary paid to Rusty. Rusty reasons that his gross income should be computed as follows:
Salary received $80,000
Loss from rental property ($150,000-$160,000) (10,000)
Gross income $70,000
Compute rustys correct gross income for the year, and explain any differences between your calculation and rusty
Answer:
Rusty annual salary was $100,000.
Rusty will not be taxed on the interest and dividend amount of $5,000 as Rebecca is the owner of the assets that is producing this income.
Secondly, Rusty will also need to report the $6,000 interest income. This has to be reported even though it has not been withdrawn.
Thirdly, he received $20,000 as salary from his wholly owned corporation.
Salary from employer $100,000
Salary from wholly owned corporation $20,000
Dividends and interest from the investments $0
Interest from Swiss bank account $6,000
Rental loss incurred $0
Gross income $126,000
A company is forecasted to generate free cash flows of $25 million next year and $29 million the year after. After that, cash flows are projected to grow at a stable rate in perpetuity. The company's cost of capital is 12.0%. The company has $34 million in debt, $19 million of cash, and 23 million shares outstanding. Using an exit multiple for the company's free cash flows (EV/FCFF) of 17, what's your estimate of the company's stock price
Answer:
$18.41
Explanation:
Equity value = FCF next year / (1 + cost of capital) + FCF in year 2 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 + 1 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 * [ (FCF in year 2 * exit multiple)]
= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + 1 / 1.12^2*[($29 million*17)]
= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + $493 million/1.12^2
= $25 million / 1.12 + $522 million / 1.12^2
= $438.4566327 million
The stock price = ($438.4566327 million - Debt + Cash) / Number of shares outstanding
= ($438.4566327 million - $34 million + $19 million) / 23 million shares
= $423.4566327 million / 23 million shares
= 18.4111579435
= $18.41
Grant Industries, a manufacturer of electronic parts, has recently received an invitation to bid on a special order for 20,500 units of one of its most popular products. Grant currently manufactures 41,000 units of this product in its Loveland, Ohio, plant. The plant is operating at 50% capacity. There will be no marketing costs on the special order. The sales manager of Grant wants to set the bid at $13 because she is sure that Grant will get the business at that price. Others on the executive committee of the firm object, saying that Grant would lose money on the special order at that price.
Units 41,000 61,500
Manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $123,000 $184,500
Direct labor 164,000 246,000
Factory overhead 328,000 430,500
Total manufacturing costs$615,000 $861,000
Unit cost $15 $14
Required:
1. What is the relevant cost per unit and the bid price?
2. What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers?
Answer:
Missing word "What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers? Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."
Variable factory overhead per unit = (430,500 - 328,000) / 20,500 = $5
Direct materials per unit = $123,000 / 41,000 = $3
Direct labor per unit = 164,000 / 41,000 = $4
1. Relevant cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable factory overhead
Relevant cost per unit = $5 + $4 + $3
Relevant cost per unit = $12
So, the bid price should be above $10 per unit
2. Total opportunity cost would be the total contribution margin lost for the lost sales to the regular customer
Total opportunity cost = Loss of regular sales revenue - Total relevant cost for lost sales
Total opportunity cost = (6,500*$24) - (6,500*$12)
Total opportunity cost = $156,000 - $78,000
Total opportunity cost = $78,000
1. The relevant cost per unit for Grant Industries is $7.00 ($123,000 + $164,000)/41,000 or ($184,500 + $246,000)/61,500.
2. The total opportunity cost of accepting the special order when the company lost sales of 6,500 units from its regular customers is $12,500.
What are the relevant costs and opportunity costs?The relevant costs describe the avoidable costs that could be stopped if a decision is taken.
For example, if Grant Industries decides to take the special order, the relevant decision-making cost is $7 per unit and not $14 per unit.
The opportunity costs are costs that are not incurred based on taking an alternative decision. It also describes the lost revenue when some sales are lost for the special order.
For example, the total opportunity costs incurred by Grant Industries for taking the special order instead of attending to the regular customers with 6,500 units demand is $12,500.
Data and Calculations:Special order = 20,500 units
Current production = 41,000 units
Current operational capacity = 50%
Total capacity = 82,000 (41,000/50%)
Bid price = $13 per unit
New production based on special order = 61,500 (41,000 + 20,500)
Production Data Per Unit Per Bid
Units 41,000 61,500
Manufacturing costs:
Direct materials $123,000 $184,500
Direct labor 164,000 246,000
Factory overhead 328,000 430,500
Total manufacturing costs $615,000 $861,000
Unit cost $15 $14
Question 2 Completion:Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."
The opportunity cost of lost sales:Lost sales units = 6,500
Contribution per unit = $17 ($24 - $7)
Total contribution margin = $110,500 ($6,500 x $17)
Contribution margin from special order = $123,000 ($13 - $7 x 20,500)
Thus, the opportunity cost of lost sales is $12,500 ($123,000 - $110,500).
