On January 1, Year 1, Lowing Company acquired a patent from Generics Research Corporation for $3 million. The legal life of the patent is 20 years, but Lowing expects to use it for 5 years. Pawson Company has committed to purchase the patent from Lowing for $500,000 at the end of that 5-year period. Lowing uses the straight-line method to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives. What is the amount of amortization expense each year

Answers

Answer:

patent amortization expense per year = $500,000 per year

Explanation:

patent amortization expense per year = depreciable value / useful life of the intangible asset

depreciable value = purchase cost - salvage value = $3,000,000 - $500,000 = $2,500,000useful life of the patent = 5 years (the legal life is different than the useful life)

patent amortization expense per year = $2,500,000 / 5 years = $500,000 per year

Budgeted purchases of inventory in February Year 2 would be:

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted purchases of inventory in February Year 2 would be $69,800

Explanation:

___________CGS _Ending Inventory_Beginning Inventory _ Purchases

Dec. Year 1 _$30,000 _ $20,400 _____ $0 _____________$0

Jan. Year 2 _$60,000 _$27,200 _____ $20,400_________$66,800

Feb. Year 2 _$80,000_ $17,000 ______$27,200_________$69,800

Use following formula to calculate the Purchases

Cost of Goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory

Purchases = Cost of Goods sold - Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory

Placing value of Jan Year 2

Purchases = $60,000 - $20,400 + $27,200 = $66,800

Placing value of Feb Year 2

Purchases = $80,000 - $27,200 + $17,000 = $69,800

You want to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years. a. How much do you have to save each month if you can earn an annual return of 9.7 percent

Answers

Answer:

the amount that saved each month is $173.21

Explanation:

The computation of the amount that saved each month is as follows:

Here we use the PMT formula

Given that

NPER = 40 × 12 =  480

PMT = 9.7% ÷ 12 = 0.81%

PV = $0

FV = $1,000,000

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(RATE;NPER;PV;-FV;TYPE)

The future value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the pmt is $173.21

Hence, the amount that saved each month is $173.21

What is the expected annual revenue for the store?Expected annual revenue= $

Answers

Answer:

$173,050

Explanation:

Expected revenue = 0.3*$252,000 + 0.2*$61,000 + 0.5*$170,500

Expected revenue = $75600 + $12200 + $85250

Expected revenue = $173,050

i. The profit-maximizing price and output
ii. Area of loss
C. Assume Clark is maximizing profit. What will happen to its total revenue if Clark raises its price? Explain.
d. If demand for the new device increases, explain what will happen to each of the following in the short run.
i. Profit-maximizing output
ii. Total cost

Answers

Solution :

c. MC=MR is the profit maximizing equilibrium point. The price rise beyond that is likely to raise the total revenue. But the total cost might increase equally or more then that to nullify or decrease the profit.

d. (i). The demand increase implies that the AR (demand) curve shifts rightwards. This will increase the equilibrium price.

(ii). Change in demand does not affect the total cost.

a. Monopoly might continue to produce in short earn even if its AR < AC. It continues to do so until shut down point. It refers that production continued until average revenue (AR) is greater than equal to the average variable cost (AVC). The monopoly is a market with a single seller.

This market's average revenue (AR) demand curve is above its marginal curve . The curves are downward sloping, illustrating price demand inverse relationship.

Equilibrium quantity : when the marginal revenue = marginal cost

Equilibrium price : equilibrium quantity corresponding price at AR (demand ) curve.

The fictional country of Anastialia is a small country with rich resources in minerals. In an 8 hr work day it can produce 100 pounds of silver or 50 pounds of copper. If Anastialia decides to produce copper instead of silver it is ignoring the fact that its silver production has a(n)________ to copper.

a. production advantage
b. absolute advantage
c. comparative advantage

Answers

Answer:

c. comparative advantage

Explanation:

As we know that

The one pound of silver would be equivalent to 0.5 pound of copper

And,

one pound of copper would be equivalent to 2 pounds of silver

based on this, there is a comparative advantage with respect to the silver production

Hence, the correct option is c.

Therefore all the other options are incorrect

Problems and Applications Q4 Suppose that the government imposes a tax on heating oil. True or False: The deadweight loss from this tax would likely be larger in the fifth year after it is imposed than in the first year as demand for heating oil becomes more elastic. True False The tax revenue collected from a tax on heating oil is likely to be in the first year after it is imposed than in the fifth year.

Answers

Answer:

TrueTrue

Explanation:

The deadweight loss in the fifth year will indeed be higher in the fifth year than in the first because deadweight loss has been shown to increase with elasticity.

As demand becomes more elastic as a result of the oil becoming more expensive, tax revenue will decrease in future which means that tax revenue will be less in five years than in the first.

Sraibn271 Corporation has two divisions: Domestic Division and Foreign Division. Last month, the corporation reported a contribution margin of $46,400 for Domestic Division. Foreign Division had a contribution margin ratio of 35% and its sales were $243,000. Net operating income for the Sraibn271 Corporation was $36,800 and traceable fixed expenses were $51,000.
(ID#19361)
What were Sraibn271 Corporation's common fixed expenses?
a) $131,450
b) $43,650
c) $51,000
d) $94,650

Answers

Answer: b) $43,650

Explanation:

Contribution margin of Domestic division + contribution margin of Foreign division - traceable fixed cost - common fixed cost = Net operating income for company

46,400 + (0.35 * 243,000) - 51,000 - Common = 36,800

80,450 - Common = 36,800

Common = 80,450 - 36,800

= $43,650

Diamond and Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 130 baseballs per hour to sewing 234 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.48 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $26 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $305,500, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $131,800, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,200 hours per year.

Answers

Answer:

A) Sewing machine:

initial outlay = -$305,500

net cash flow per year = (234 baseballs per hour - 130 baseballs per hour) x 1,400 hours x $0.48 per baseball = $69,888

NPV = -$305,500 + ($69,888 x 4.968) = -$305,500 + $347,203.58 = $41,703.58

Packing machine:

initial outlay = -$131,800

net cash flow per year = 1,200 hours x $26 per hour = $31,200

NPV = -$131,800 + ($31,200 x 4.968) = -$131,800 + $155,001.60 = $23,201.60

B) PVI of sewing machine = $347,203.58 / $305,500 = 1.137

PVI of packing machine = $155,001.60 / $131,800 = 1.176

C) They should invest in the packing machine since its PVI is higher, meaning that it increases the company's value by a higher amount per dollar invested.

QS 23-11 Selection of sales mix LO P3 Excel Memory Company can sell all units of computer memory X and Y that it can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce two units of X per hour or three units of Y per hour, and it has 4,700 production hours available. Contribution margin is $6 for product X and $5 for product Y. 1. Calculate contribution margin per production hour. 2. What is the most profitable sales mix for this Company

Answers

Answer:

Contribution margin per production hour

Product X = $12

Product Y = $15

Explanation:

Part 1

Contribution margin per production hour

Contribution margin per production hour = Contribution ÷ Time to produce one product

Therefore,

Product X =  $6 ÷ 0.5

                 = $12

Product Y =  $5 ÷ 0.33

                 = $15

Part 2

The Demand Units of Product X and Product Y are missing so the calculation of profitable sales mix is impossible.

This mix would have been calculated by :

Manufacturing all the units of Product Y since Y has the highest contribution margin per production hour (demand for Y × hours required per unit)With the remainder of hours out of 4,700 after producing all of Product Y demand, we would then produce Product X.
