Explanation:
The three components of democratic capitalism are: private ownership of the means of production, the labor market and the exchange of products in a market whose profit is obtained.
When imagining an economic context without free companies, the scarcity would be increasing and there would be an economic slowdown that would impact the lives of thousands of people and lead to an increase in poverty, hunger and starvation.
Such problems could also happen without a freely elected government.
Therefore, ethical and moral values must be considered as the basis of any economic system, so that all market mechanisms flow in order to satisfy the needs of citizens with regard to products, services, employment and dignity.
Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $36,000 with a 6-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average investment
Answer: $18,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Carmel Corporation is considering buying a machine that cost $36,000 with a 6-year useful life and no salvage value and the straight-line depreciation was used on the assumption that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year.
Accounting rate of return will be the average profit divided by the average investment
The average investment is made of up of the cost of the asset, its salvage value and working capital. Average investment will be the machines and cost divided by 2.
= $36000/2
= $18000.
The average investment is $18,000
As part of the initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $32,290 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship. Of this amount, $1,367 is deemed completely worthless. For the remaining accounts, the partnership will establish a provision for possible future uncollectible accounts of $848. gThe amount debited to Accounts Receivable for the new partnership is a.$31,442 b.$32,290 c.$30,923 d.$30,075
Answer: $30,923
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that as part of an initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $32,290 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship. Out of the amount, $1,367 is deemed completely worthless and for the remaining accounts, the partnership will establish a provision for possible future uncollectible accounts of $848.
The amount debited to accounts Receivable for the new partnership will be the difference between the account receivable balance and the amount that was deemed worthless. This will be:
= $32,290 - $1,367
= $30,923
Therefore, the amount debited to Accounts Receivable for the new partnership will be $30,923
Under which conditions would a plant manager elect to use a fixed-order quantity model as opposed to a fixed-time period model? What are the disadvantages of using a fixed-time period ordering system?
Answer: The answers are provided below
Explanation:
The fixed order quantity system is an arrangement whereby the inventory level is typically continuously monitored and also the replenishment stock is ordered based on the previously-fixed quantities while for a fixed time period model, the inventory levels are checked on regular basis for the items e.g every week.
A plant manager may elect to use a fixed-order quantity model as opposed to a fixed-time period model when the holding cost is much higher. Typically, fixed order quantity model is typically used for the costly items.
The disadvantages of using a fixed-time period ordering system are:
i. It doesn't consider market structure changes
ii. There should be a high level of inventory in order to avoid stock out.
iii. It leads to rigidity in the system as it makes the decision on time period complex when there's need for urgency.
During her lifetime, Betty accumulated a large quantity of registered gold coins totaling over $500,000 in value. Betty began to see the sun setting in the waning years of her life and began making plans to dispose of her assets among her beloved children. Part of her plans was to give her collection of coins to her favorite son, Carlos, who at the time was performing mission work deep in the jungles of South America. Betty executed and filed a registration of transfer of the coin collection to Carlos. She then attempted to contact Carlos on his satellite phone and called his last known location to advise him of the transfer, but she was unable to contact him. The best she could do was to leave Carlos multiple messages. One month later, Betty passed away without ever hearing from Carlos. Betty's will was read, and it was discovered that the language in the will bequeathed all of her coins to her daughter, Carey. Carey took possession of the registered gold coins. If you were Carlos, how would you convince Carey to give you the coins after returning from your trip
Answer:
Show the messages sent by Betty to me before her death
Explanation:
In law, believable evidence could take several forms which includes providing a written "proof of intent". Carlos can argue that the messages received from Betty explicitly shows are wishes–that he receives a collection of her coins, thus the transfer of ownership was implicitly binding.
Carey's reading of the multiple messages evidently provides convincing evidence that she has not fulfilled the will of her death mother, thus Carlos can use her emotional attachment of fulfilling mother's wishes by pressurising her to give him the coins.
Carlos can convince Carey to give him the coins after returning from trip by
showing her the multiple messages sent from Betty and confirming with
the appropriate authority.
What is Registration of transfer?Thus is a document which confirms that an asset or property has been
transferred to a new owner.
In this scenario, she was unable to reach him but left messages which is an
evidence about the transfer of the coins. The appropriate authority should
also be contacted to confirm if the transfer of the coins was appropriately
done.

Lake Erie Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Next year, 700,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000
Direct labor hours 167,000 DLH 267,000 DLH
Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH
a. $10.86 per unit
b. $8.73 per unit
c. $4.22 per unit
d. $11.77 per unit
e. $10 per unit
Answer:
$7.70 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the overhead rate per unit we first need to compute the estimated amount which is as follows
Total manufacturing cost
= Department 1 + department 2
= $31,41,500.00 + $15,71,000.00
= $47,12,500.00
Total machine hours
= Department 1 + department 2
= 267,000 MH + 192,000 MH
= 459000 MH
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total machine hours
= $4,712,500 ÷ 459,000 MHs
= $10.27 per MH
Now overhead per unit is
= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH × Machine Hours required per unit
= $10.27 per MH × 0.75 MHs per unit
= $7.70 per unit

Ratio analysis A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making.There are several groups of ratios most decision makers and analysts use to examine different aspects of a company's performance. Based on the descriptions of ratios listed, identify the relevant category of ratios.Ratios that help determine whether a company can access its cash and pay its short-term obligations are called______ratios.Ratios that help determine the efficiency with which a company manages its day-to-day tasks and assets are called______ratios.Ratios that help assess a company's ability to service the interest and repayment obligations on its long-term debt and the degree to which it uses borrowed versus invested financial capital are called______ratios. _______ratios help measure a company's ability to generate income and profits based on its invested capital.______ratios examine the market value of a company's share price, its profits and cash dividends, and the book value of the firm's assets and relate them to other data items to determine how the firm is perceived in the stock market. Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry. However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses. Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis? A. Seasonal factors can distort data B. Window dressing might be in effect. C. Market data is not sufficiently considered.
Answer: 1. a. Liquidity Ratios
b. Activity Ratios
c. Financial Ratios
d. Profitability Ratios
e. Market Value Ratios
2. A. Seasonal factors can distort data
B. Window dressing might be in effect.
Explanation:
a. Liquidity Ratios give the company an idea of it's ability to access hard currency. Examples include the Current ratio and the Quick ratio.
b. Activity Ratios allows stakeholders know how efficient the company is at running daily operations. Examples include; Receivables Turnover and Asset Turnover ratios.
c. Financial Ratios are very important to the company as they can decide if a company will be able to get loans. They include ratios that measure the firm's ability to pay off debt as well as the overall condition of the firm in terms of it's finances.
Examples include; Net Profit Margin and Debt to Asset ratio.
d. Profitability Ratios
These help ascertain the ability of the business to make returns based on its resources. Examples include Return on Assets and Return on Equity.
e. Market Value Ratio
These essentially help the company and other stake holders know what the company is worth in the market. An example is the Book Value per Share ratio.
2. Seasonal Factors may indeed distort data depending on the type of industry that the firm is into and ratios will usually not show this. For instance, an Ice Cream company will not have strong sales in winter so when interpreting ratio analysis it would be important to note that this could happen.
Another weakness is that ratios are calculated based on the figures that are given by a company. These figures may not truly reflect the actual situation of the company when management supply more optimistic figures than is true. This is called Window Dressing.
It will have the effect of distorting the ratios so that they do not represent a true representation of the actual situation of the company.
Samtech Manufacturing purchased land and building for $4 million. In addition to the purchase price, Samtech made the following expenditures in connection with the purchase of the land and building: Title insurance $ 34,000 Legal fees for drawing the contract 9,000 Pro-rated property taxes for the period after acquisition 54,000 State transfer fees 5,800 An independent appraisal estimated the fair values of the land and building, if purchased separately, at $3.5 and $1.5 million, respectively. Shortly after acquisition, Samtech spent $100,000 to construct a parking lot and $58,000 for landscaping. Required: 1. Determine the initial valuation of each asset Samtech acquired in these transactions. 2. Determine the initial valuation of each asset, assuming that immediately after acquisition, Samtech demolished the building. Demolition costs were $430,000 and the salvaged materials were sold for $6,500. In addition, Samtech spent $97,000 clearing and grading the land in preparation for the construction of a new building.
Answer:
1)
total price $4,000,000
if purchased separately, land was worth $3,500,000 and building $1,500,000.
cost of land:
70% x $4,000,000 purchase cost = $2,800,000
70% x $34,000 title insurance = $23,800
70% x $9,000 legal fees = $6,300
70% x $5,800 state transfer fees = $4,060
total cost of land = $2,834,160
cost of building:
30% x $4,000,000 purchase cost = $1,200,000
30% x $34,000 title insurance = $10,200
30% x $9,000 legal fees = $2,700
30% x $5,800 state transfer fees = $1,740
total cost of land = $1,214,640
Property taxes for the period after acquisition are expenses and cannot be capitalized. Landscaping and parking lots are reported separately because they have different useful lives than the building.
2)
cost of land:
$4,000,000 purchase cost
$34,000 title insurance
$9,000 legal fees
$5,800 state transfer fees
$430,000 demolition costs
- $6,500 sale of salvaged value
$97,000 land grading
total cost of land = $4,569,300
cost of building = $0
Property taxes for the period after acquisition are expenses and cannot be capitalized. Landscaping and parking lots are reported separately because they have different useful lives than the building.

Accounts payable are: Multiple Choice Long-term liabilities. Estimated liabilities. Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit. Always payable within 30 days. Not usually due on specific dates.
Answer: Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit.
Explanation: Account payable as a liability arises on account of credit purchases and therefore, are amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit. While accounts payable can be either a short-term or a long-term liability based on the duration available to pay the same, they are typically paid within thirty or sixty days which makes them current liabilities. However, the duration of credit that is available to companies making such purchases are based on both the credibility of such companies, the history of past purchases and how timely they repay their debts.
Exercise 5-10 Lower of cost or market LO P2 Martinez Company's ending inventory includes the following items. Product Units Cost per Unit Market per Unit Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54 Bats 29 76 82 Shoes 50 95 99 Uniforms 54 40 40 Compute the lower of cost or market for ending inventory applied separately to each product.
Answer:
Helmets $ 1,944
Bats $ 2,204
Shoes $ 4,750
Uniforms $ 2,000
Explanation:
We will compare between the cost and the proceeds from sale of the units. As accounting wants to represent reality it cannot value the company goods higher than it can acceess to it in the market regardless of the purchase cost.
This may generate losses to represent the decrease in the overall value of the good.
Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54
Helmets cost is higher than market so we recognize a loss an valued at $54
36 units x $54 = $1,944
Bats 29 $76 $82
Bats productions cost is lower so we keep it.
29 units x $76 = $2,204
Shoes 50 $95 $99
Shoes also has a lower production cost
50 units x $95 = $4,750
Uniforms 54 $40 $40
As they are the same we just leave with $40
50 units x $40 = $2000

Edison has just paid an annual dividend of $3 per share. If the expected growth rate for Con Ed is 10%, and your required rate of return is 16%, how much are you willing to pay for this stock
Answer:
$55 per share
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the dividend discount model (DDM) formula as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price or the amount you are willing to pay today
D1 = Next dividend = Current dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $3 * (1 + 0.10) = $3.30
r = required return = 16%. or 0.16
g = growth rate = 10% = 0.10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $3.30 / (0.16 - 0.10) = $55 per share
Therefore, you are willing to pay $55 per share for this stock.
Wilturner Company incurs $74,000 of labor related directly to the product in the Assembly Department, $23,000 of labor not directly related to the product but related to the Assembly Department as a whole, and $10,000 of labor for services that help production in both the Assembly and Finishing departments. The journal entries to record the labor would include:
Answer:
Dr Work in Process Inventory 97,000 and Dr Factory Overhead 10,000
Explanation:
Wilturner Company journal entries to record the labor will be to Debit work in process inventory with 97,000 because the company incurs $74,000 of labor which was related directly to the product in the Assembly Department and the $23,000 of labor was not directly related to the product and then Debit Factory Overhead with 10,000.
Dr Work in Process Inventory 97,000
($74,000+$23,000)
Debit Factory Overhead 10,000
Rubium Micro Devices currently manufactures a subassembly for its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Fixed overhead 34.00
Total $163.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal. Should Rubium make or buy the subassemblies? What is the difference between the two alternatives?
Answer:
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal.
First, we need to determine the total cost of making the units:
Total cost= total variable costs + avoidable fixed costs
Total costs= (54 + 35 + 40)*6,000 + 89,000= $863,000
Now, the cost of buying:
Total cost= 6,000*144= $864,000
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
On January 2, 2021, the Jackson Company purchased equipment to be used in its manufacturing process. The equipment has an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $50,125. The expenditures made to acquire the asset were as follows:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6800
Installation charges 10,000
Jackson's policy is to use the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation in the early years of the equipment's life and then switch to straight line halfway through the equipment's life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for each year of the asset's eight-year life.
Answer:
Jackson Company
Calculation of the Depreciation for each year:
a) Using the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation:
1st year, the depreciation charge = $59,200 ($236,800 x 25%)
2nd year, the depreciation charge = $44,400 ($236,800 - 59,200) x 25%
3rd year, the depreciation charge = $33,300 ($236,800 - 103,600) x 25%
4th year, the depreciation charge = $24,975 ($236,800 - 136,900) x 25%
5th year, the usage of straight-line method commences:
Depreciation charge = $58,100/4 = $14,525
6th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
7th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
8th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
Explanation:
a) Asset's recognized cost:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6,800
Installation charges 10,000
Total cost = $236,800
b) Useful life = 8 years, with salvage value of $50,125.
c) Double-declining balance depreciation rate = 25% (100/8 * 2)
d) Accumulated Depreciation at the end of:
1st year = $59,200
2nd year = $103,600 ($59,200 + 44,400)
3rd year = $136,900 ($103,600 + 33,300)
4th year = $128,575 ($136,900 + 24,975)
5th year = $143,100 ($128,575 + 14,525)
6th year = $157,625 ($143,100 + 14,525)
7th year = $172,150 ($157,625 + 14,525)
8th year = $186,675 ($172,150 + 14,525)
e) Book value of asset at the end of the fourth year:
Cost = $236,800
Accumulated depreciation $128,575
Book value = $108,225
Salvage value = $50,125
Straight-line depreciable amount = $58,100
f) The double-declining-balance depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation method that expenses the cost of an asset more rapidly by multiplying the straight-line method's rate by 2 and applying this rate on the reducing balance. On the other hand, the straight-line depreciation method uses the same amount of depreciation each year over an asset's useful life. The double-declining balance method does not take into consideration the salvage value unlike the straight-line depreciation method until towards the end of the useful life of the asset.
On October 1, 2022, Sheridan Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $81000 with an estimated 5-year life and $21000 salvage value at the end of its useful life. What is the depreciation expense for 2022 if Sheridan Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation
Answer:
the depreciation expense for 2022 is $3,000
Explanation:
Straight line method of depreciation charges a fixed amount of depreciation over the period of use of an asset.
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Number of useful life
= ($81000 - $21000) / 5
= $12,000
The Annual depreciation charge for this machine will be $12,000 for each of the years that it is used in the business.
However since it was paced in use during the year that is 1 October, we have to apportion the Annual charge withe number of months that its has been in use during 2022.
It has been used for 3 months thus depreciation charge is :
Depreciation = 3/ 12 × $12,000
= $3,000
In general, the better candidates for shortening are: Early tasks opposed to later tasks. Later tasks opposed to early tasks. Burst tasks opposed to merge tasks. Merge tasks opposed to burst tasks.
Answer:
Early tasks opposed to later tasks.
Explanation:
Shortening is a strategic procedure used by project managers to reduce or shorten a project's duration by cutting the duration of critical path tasks.
The rationale behind shortening of a project is basically to have a competitive advantage or edge in the market. In order to compete successfully, project managers are always expected to be spontaneous in bringing their company's goods and services to the market in a flash.
There are two important ways of shortening a particular project, these are;
1. Crashing.
2. Task splitting.
In project management, the longest task is considered to be the most effective and efficient candidate activities to shorten a project's duration.
In general, the better candidates for shortening are early tasks opposed to later tasks. The early start of tasks represents one of the primary date used in project scheduling and it's the earliest date a project manager commences an activity, with respect to all its predecessors and successors.
Early tasks usually involves the use of an easy approach to project kickoff while later tasks uses the difficult approach.

Consider the following three types of airplanes: Airbus planes that seat 320 passengers and cost $200 million each, Boeing planes that seat 250 passengers and cost $125 million each, and Lockheed planes that seat 275 passengers and cost $200 million each. You are the purchasing manager of an airline company and have a spending goal of $2,900 million for the purchase of new aircrafts to seat a total of 4,480 passengers. Also, you must buy twice as many Lockheed airplanes as Airbus planes. How many of each type of airplane should you order
Answer:
9 Airbus planes, 1 Boeing plane & 4 Lockheed airplanes
Explanation:
We will develop equations from the information provided
Let the planes be tagged as seen below:
Airbus = x, Boeing = y, Lockheed = z
From the cost of the planes, we have:
200 x + 125 y + 200 z = 2900 ---Eqn 1
From the number of passenger seats, we have:
320 x + 250 y + 275 z = 4480 ---Eqn 2
Twice as many Lockheed airplanes as Airbus planes
⇒ 2z = x ---Eqn 3
Substitute x = 2z into Eqn 1, we have:
200 (2z) + 125 y + 200 z = 2900
125 y + 400 z + 200 z = 2900
125 y + 600 z = 2900 ---Eqn 4
Substitute x = 2z into Eqn 2, we have:
320 (2z) + 250 y + 275 z = 4480
250 y + 640 z + 275 z = 4480
250 y + 915 z = 4480 ---Eqn 5
Multiply Eqn 4 by 2
125 y * 2 + 600 z * 2 = 2900 * 2
⇒ 250 y + 1200 z = 5800 ---Eqn 6
(250 y + 915 z = 4480) ---Eqn 5
Subtracting Eqn 5 from Eqn 6, we have:
250 y - 250 y + 1200 z - 915 z = 5800 - 4480
285 z = 1320
z = 4.6
Substitute z to Eqn 3, x = 2z
⇒ x = 2 * 4.6 = 9.2
x = 9.2
Substitute x & z into Eqn 1
200 x + 125 y + 200 z = 2900
200 * 9.2 + 125 y + 200 * 4.6 = 2900
125 y = 2900 - (1840 + 920)
125 y = 140
y = 1.1
Since it is airplanes that are to be bought, the value of x, y & z must be integers (you cannot buy 4.6 airplanes). As such, we will round down values of airplanes to be bought sodo that we will not exceed the budget.
x = 9, y = 1, z = 4
∴That implies that I will buy 9 Airbus planes, 1 Boeing plane & 4 Lockheed airplanes
Depletion Entries Alaska Mining Co. acquired mineral rights for $67,500,000. The mineral deposit is estimated at 30,000,000 tons. During the current year, 4,000,000 tons were mined and sold. a. Determine the amount of depletion expense for the current year. Round the depletion rate to two decimals places. $ b. Journalize the adjusting entry on December 31 to recognize the depletion expense. Dec. 31
Answer:
a. $ 9,000,000
b.
Depletion Expense $ 9,000,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depletion $ 9,000,000 (credit)
Explanation:
The depletion expense is calculated using the formula :
Depletion expense = Cost of Asset / Estimated total contents in units × Number of units taken in the period
= $67,500,000 / 30,000,000 tons × 4,000,000 tons
= $ 9,000,000
The entry to recognize the depletion expense will be :
Depletion Expense $ 9,000,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depletion $ 9,000,000 (credit)
A rich aunt has promised you $ 3 comma 000 one year from today. In addition, each year after that, she has promised you a payment (on the anniversary of the last payment) that is 2 % larger than the last payment. She will continue to show this generosity for 20 years, giving a total of 20 payments. If the interest rate is 6 %, what is her promise worth today?
Answer:
PV= $29,454.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $3,000
Number of years= 20
Interest rate= 6%
Growth rate= 2%
To simplify calculations, we will sum the growing rate to the interest rate.
Real interest rate= 8%
To determine the present value, first, we need to calculate the final value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000*[(1.08^20)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $137,285.893
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 137,285.893/1.08^20
PV= $29,454.44
A retail dealer in garments is currently selling 24,000 shirts annually. He supplies the following details for the year ended 31st March 2007. Selling price per shirt: P800 Variable cost per shirt: P600 Fixed Cost: Staff salaries: P2 400 000 General Office Cost: P800, 000 Advertising Cost: P800, 000 REQUIRED: a) Calculate Break-even Point in sales revenue and number of shirts sold. b) What is the margin of safety of the dealer expressed as a percentage . c) Assume that 30, 000 shirts were sold during the year, find out the net profit of the firm. d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales? e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
Answer:
a) Calculate Break-even Point in sales revenue and number of shirts sold.
20,000 shirts $16,000,000b) What is the margin of safety of the dealer expressed as a percentage .
16.67%c) Assume that 30, 000 shirts were sold during the year, find out the net profit of the firm.
$2,000,000d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales?
15,625 shirts $14,375,000e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
47,322 shirts$43,536,240Explanation:
selling price per shirt $800 x 24,000 = $19,200,000
variable cost per shirt $600 x 24,000 = $14,400,000
total fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $800,000
contribution margin per unit = $800 - $600 = $200
break even point = $4,000,000 / $200 = 20,000 shirts x $800 = $16,000,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($19,200,000 - $16,000,000) / $19,200,000 = 16.67%
if 30,000 shirts were sold:
contribution margin 30,000 x $200 = $6,000,000
fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $2,000,000
if sales price increases to $920, contribution margin = $320
fixed costs increase to $5,000,000
break even point = $5,000,000 / 320 = 15,625 shirts x $920 = $14,375,000
fixed costs increase to %6,000,000
targeted profit $8,000,000 + tax rate = $9,142,857
sales target = ($6,000,000 + $9,142,857) / $320 = 47,321.43 ≈ 47,322 shirts
Tom owns a Pizza Restaurant. Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for pizza at $9.22 per slice, $106.00 as monthly rental and $55.00 monthly as insurance. A restaurant sells pizza at a rate of $14.22/slice. How many slices should the restaurant sell in a month to break even?
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 32 slices
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $14.22
Unitary variable cost= $9.22
Fixed costs= 106 + 55= $161
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 161/ (14.22 - 9.22)
Break-even point in units= 32 slices

Suppose you work as a manager in a firm. Your job is to hire the right number of people to maximize profit. Every worker you hire costs $150 per day, and each unit of output sells for $18 per unit. Given your current labor force, you know that if you hire another worker, that person will increase your output by 32.
1. What is the marginal product of the worker you are considering hiring?
2 What is the value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee?
3. What is the marginal profnt or loss for hiring this employee? (Use a negative number if hiring this person results in a net loss
4. Should this additional worker be hired?
Answer: 1. 32
2. $576
3. $426
4. Yes
Explanation:
1. What is the marginal product of the worker you are considering hiring?
From the question, we are informed that given current labor force, hiring another worker will increase the output by 32. This means that the marginal product of the worker you are considering hiring is 32.
2 What is the value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee?
The value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee will be the product of the price of each unit of output sale and the marginal product of the employee. This will be:
= $18 × 32
= $576
3. What is the marginal profit or loss for hiring this employee?
The marginal profit or loss will be the difference between the value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee and the hiring cost per day for every worker. This will be:
= $576 - $150
= $426
There is a marginal profit of $426.
4. Should this additional worker be hired?
Yes, the additional worker should be hired because there is a positive marginal profit.
C&A sells 600 bottles of a dietary supplement per week at $100 per bottle. The supplement is ordered from a supplier who charges C&A $30 per order and $50 per bottle. C&A's annual holding cost percentage is 40%. Assume C&A operates 50 weeks in a year. What is C&A's total ordering and holding cost per year if C&A orders 500 bottles at a time?
Answer: $6,800
Explanation:
The following can be deduced based on the information above:
The annual requirement will be the weekly demand multiplied by the number of operational weeks. This will be:
= 600 x 50
= 30,000 Bottles
Then, the number of orders will be the annual demand divided by the order size. This will be:
= 30,000 ÷ 500
= 60
Then, we calculate the ordering cost which will be the number of orders multiplied by the ordering cost per order. This will be:
= 60 x $30
= $1,800
The average inventory will be the lot size divided by 2. This will be:
= 500 / 2
= 250 Bottles
Then, the holding cost per unit will be the price multiplied by the percentage of the holding cost. This will be:
= $50 x 40%
= $50 × 0.4
= $20 per unit
Holding cost of thenverage inventory will be the average inventory multiplied by the holding cost per unit. This will be:
= 250 x $20
= $5,000
Therefore, C&A's total ordering and holding cost per year if C&A orders 500 bottles at a time will be:
= $1,800 + $5,000
= $6,800
To calculate return on assets (ROA), the numerator will include which of the following? a. net income plus tax expense b. net income plus interest expense c. net income minus preferred dividends d. net income
Answer:
d. net income
Explanation:
The formula to compute the return on assets is as follows
Return on assets = Net income ÷ Total assets
Or
Return on assets = Net income ÷ Average of total assets
As the case maybe
By dividing the net income from the total assets or average of total assets we can get the return on assets and the same is to be considered
hence, the correct option is d. net income
1. Because of sanctions over their involvement in Ukraine in 2014, the Bank of Russia has raised its benchmark interest rate from 8% to 9.5%. What affect does this have on the exchange rate for the Russian Rubble versus the Euro
Answer:
This would make the rubble more attractive than the euro when investing.
Explanation: The effects of this increase in interest rate, is it would make it more expensive when planning on borrowing money in Russia. Which would make the rubble more attractive than the euro from an investors or investment part, as more money can be made when euro is converted back to rubble. This would help drive up the cost of rubble.
Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about purchasing his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000. This includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. If Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000, what would Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC
Answer: $12,900
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about buying his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000 which includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. We are further told that Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000.
Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC will be the amount that he paid for Bob's LLC interest plus the share of LLC’s debt. This will be:
= $11,000 + $1,900
= $12,900
