Answers

Answer:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

Explanation:

Given:

Production in July = 230 units

Hours of direct labor  = 1.5 hours per unit

Direct Labor rate = $12.40 per hour

What is the percentage change in the PV of $100 due in 1 year when the interest rate changes from 5% to 10%?
a. Decreases by 60.6%
b. Decreases by 4.33%
c. Decreases by 4.5%
d. Does not change
e. Increases by 4.5%
f. Increases by 60.6%

Answers

Answer:

c. Decreases by 4.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the percentage change in the PV

First step is to calculate the present value when r is 5%

PV = 100 / (1 + 5%)^1

PV = $95.24

Second step is to calculate present value when r is 10%

PV = 100 / (1 + 10%)^1

PV = $ 90.91

Last step is to calculate the percentage change in the PV

Percentage change in the PV = (90.91 - 95.24) * 100 / 95.24

Percentage change in the PV = - 4.55% (Decrease)

Therefore the Percentage change in the PV Decreases by 4.5%

True or False: Under the average-cost pricing policy, the cable company has no incentive to cut costs.

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The cable company will not have any incentive to cut costs.  This is because it knows that its costs will be averaged to determine the average cost to which a certain percentage is then added to arrive at the selling price.  Having the cost averaged in this way will not motivate the cable company to seek cost minimization strategies that it could use to increase its income.

Suppose the demand for a price maker’s product is estimated to be Qd = 100 – 2P and its total cost function is C(Q) = 10Q. Under first-degree price discrimination, what will be the firm’s profits?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

From the question,

Qd = 100 – 2P

We have to use the subject of the formula to get the expression for Price(P). This will be

2P = 100 - Qd

P= (100 - Qd) /2

P = 50 - 0.5Q

Also, C(Q) = 10Q

MC = 10

Since P = MC

50 - 0.5Q = 10

Collect like terms.

50 - 10 = 0.5Q

0.5Q = 40

Q = 40/0.5

Q = 80

Recall that,

P = 50 - 0.5Q

= 50 - 0.5(80)

= 50 - 40

= 10

The profit will be calculated as:

= TR - TC

where,

Total revenue = Price × Quantity

= 80 × 10 = 800

Total cost = 10Q = 10 × 80 = 800

Profit = 800 - 800 = 0

What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for a stock with annual returns of:__________.
a) 4%,
b) 9%,
c) -6%,
d) 18%

Answers

Answer:

Arithmetic average return = 6.25%

Geometric average return = 5.89%

Explanation:

Annual returns of 4%,  9%,  -6% and  18%

Arithmetic average return of the stock = ∑ 4%,9%,-6%,and 18% / n

= 25%/4

= 6.25%

Geometric average return formula = x1,*x2*x3 .....^1/n  - 1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*(1-0.06)*1.18^1/4 -1

Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*0.94*1.18^1/4 - 1

Geometric average return  = 1.25789^1/4-1

Geometric average return = 1.0589 - 1

Geometric average return = 0.0589

Geometric average return = 5.89%

On January 1, a store had inventory of $48,000. January purchases were $46,000 and January sales were $90,000. On February 1 a fire destroyed most of the inventory. The rate of gross profit was 25% of cost. Merchandise with a selling price of $7,500 remained undamaged after the fire. Compute the amount of the fire loss, assuming the store had no insurance coverage. Label all figures.

Answers

Answer:

the amount of the fire loss is $16,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the fire loss is shown below

January 1 inventory $48,000

Add purchases $46,000

Goods Available $94,000

Less Cost of Goods Sold ($90,000 × 100 ÷ 125) $72,000

Less Cost of undamaged goods ($7,500 × 100 ÷ 125) $6,000

Goods Lost by Fire $16,000

A proposed new project has projected sales of $195,000, costs of $92,000, and depreciation of $25,200. The tax rate is 25 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Operating cash flow
EBIT +Depreciation - Taxes 58,800
Top-down
Tax-shield
Bottom-up

Answers

Answer:

EBIT + Depreciation - Tax

= (195000-92000-25200) + 25200 - 19450

= $83,550

Top down OCF = EBIT - (EBIT * Tax) + Depreciation  

Top down OCF = (195000-92000-25200) - ((195000-92000-25200) * 0.25) +25200

Top down OCF = 77800 - 19450 + 25200

Top down OCF = $83,550

Tax shield OCF = (Sales - Exp) (1-tax) + (Dep * tax)  

Tax shield OCF = (195000-92000) (1-0.25) + (25200 * 0.25)  

Tax shield OCF = 77250 + 6300

Tax shield OCF = 83550

Bottom Up OCF = Net Income + Dep

Bottom Up OCF = (77800 * (1-0.25) + 25200

Bottom Up OCF = 83550

Cromwell's Interiors is considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations.The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent.The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 34 percent.What is the cost of capital for this project?A) 11.97 percentB) 12.40 percentC) 11.02 percentD) 11.62 percentE) 12.38 percent

Answers

Answer:

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of equity =  15.4%

Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%

Debt-equity ratio = 0.46

Tax rate = 34%

Computation:

Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46

Equity multiplier = 1.46

Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier

Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46

Weight of equity = 0.685

Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity

Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685

Weight of Debt = 0.315

Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]

Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]

Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)

You can compare the APR for different cards which will help you to choose the cheapest. You should also compare other things about the cards, for example, fees, charges and incentives

Minimum repayment. If you don’t pay off the balance each month, you will be asked to repay a minimum amount. This is typically around 3% of the balance due.

Annual fee. Some cards charge a fee each year for use of the card. The fee is added to the amount due and you will have to pay interest on the fee as well as on your spending, unless you pay it in full.

b. 4.78%.
c. 9.56%.
d. 6.12%.
e. 38.24%.

Answers

Answer:

c. 9.56%

Explanation:
