Answer:
a. The annual payment to be made is $12,461.51
b. On first installment interest portion is $7,590 and principal portion is $4,871.51
c. The Interest portion in the second installemnt is $7,054.13 and Principal portion is $5,407.38.
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Loan Amount (Present Value) = $69,000.
Nper = 9 years
Rate = 11%.
Future value = 0
You would have to Compute annual payment using excel function as follows:
Pmt = Pmt(11%,9,-69000,0)
= $12,461.51.
Therefore, annual payment to be made is $12,461.51.
b. To calculate the amount of his first payment to be applied to interest and To principal we would have to make the following calculation:
Interest = $69,000*11% = 7,590.
Installement amount = 12,461.51.
Principal portion = 12,461.51-7590 = $4,871.51.
Therefore, On first installment interest portion is $7,590 and principal portion is $4,871.51.
c. To calculate How much of his second payment will be applied to each we would have to make the following calculations:
Principal Balance at the beginning of the second is $69,000 -$4871.51 = $64128.49.
Interest portion in the second installemnt = $64,128.49 * 11% = $7,054.13.
Principal portion = $12461.51-$7054.13 = $5,407.38.

Which of the following is generally NOT true and an advantage of going public? a. Facilitates stockholder diversification. b. Makes it easier to obtain new equity capital. c. Makes it easier for owner-managers to engage in profitable self-dealings. d. Establishes a market value for the firm. e. Increases the liquidity of the firm's stock.
Answer:
c.
Explanation:
Based on the answer choices provided it can be said that the option that is not true and an advantage would be that going public Makes it easier for owner-managers to engage in profitable self-dealings. Self dealings involves a deal in which the trustee/corporate official acts more in their own self interest as opposed to the interest of the beneficiary. This would be extremely difficult and not an advantage if the company decides to go public due to them being watched and scrutinized by the public eye. Therefore an action like this would end up badly hurting the company.
Clark Company estimated the net realizable value of its accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019, to be $178,000, based on an aging schedule of accounts receivable. Clark has also provided the following information: The accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2019 was $190,600. Uncollectible accounts receivable written off during 2019 totaled $13,300. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance on January 1, 2019 was $17,600. How much is Clark's 2019 bad debt expense
Answer: $8,300
Explanation:
Clark Company estimates that the net realizable value of their Accounts Receivable is $178,000. This is while their Accounts Receivable balance on the same date is $190,600.
This would infer that out of $190,600, they only intend on recovering $178,000.
The difference in these figures will be the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance at the end of the year because that is the amount that they do not believe they'll receive.
= 190,600 - 178,000
= $12,600
When the year started, the Allowance Balance was $17,600. Uncollectible Amount written off was $13,300. This amount would be written off from this account which would supposedly leave the balance to be,
= 17,600 - 13,300
= $4,300
The balance on the Allowance account is supposed be $12,600 yet the amount written off brings it to $4,300. The bad debts Expense for the year therefore, is the difference between these 2 figures because it is the bad debt expense that was written off from the $12,600 to bring it to $4,300.
= 12,600 - 4,300
= $8,300
Clark's 2019 Bad Debt expense is $8,300
Answer:
2017
Explanation:
Under SEC rules, internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) are processes that provide reasonable assurance that financial reports are reliable. Which of the following is not assured by ICFR? A. Financial reports, records, and data are accurately maintained. B. Transactions are prepared according to GAAP rules and are properly recorded. C. Unauthorized acquisition or use of data or assets that could affect financial statements will be prevented or detected in a timely manner. D. IT controls that contain financial data are maintained.
Answer:
C. Unauthorized acquisition or use of data or assets that could affect financial statements will be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
Explanation:
Internal Control Financial Reporting is a framework designed to help companies manage their financial reporting and achieve the greater goals of risk assessment, control, information and communication, as well as monitoring. One of the weaknesses that could characterize ICFR is its inability to assure timely prevention and detection of unauthorized acquisition or use of data.
The scheme however ensures that financial records are maintained and that transactions are prepared according to GAAP rules. ICFR ensures that misstatements are detected in financial reporting.
The income elasticity for most staple foods, such as wheat, is known to be between zero and one. As incomes rise over time, what will happen to the demand for wheat? What will happen to the quantity of wheat purchased by consumers? What will happen to the percentage of their budgets that consumers spend on wheat? All other things equal, are farmers likely to be relatively better off or relatively worse off in periods of rising incomes?
Answer and Explanation:
a. As it is given that the income elasticity of wheat is between zero and one that reflects inelastic and less than unity condition.
So in this, when the income is increased the demand for wheat is also increased but it would be less proportionally
And, the percentage increase in demand for wheat is lower than the increase in income
b. The quantity of wheat purchased is increased as there is an increase in income which increased the demand for all goods
c. The percentage of their budget will go decline as the income elasticity is between zero and one that results into an increase in income and they can switch more expenditure for other goods
d. The farmer condition does not affect overall as if the income increased the demand for other goods is also increased but it is more than the wheat

2. The invisible hand guides resources to their highest valued uses
3. Buyers and sellers are motivated by government directives.
4. Prices are set by supply and demand
5. Buyers and sellers are motivated by a sense of communal well- being.
6. Buyers and sellers are motivated by self-interest.
Answer:
Market economy:
2. The invisible hand guides resources to their highest valued uses
4. Prices are sey by supply and demand
6. Buyers and sellers are motivated by self-interest
Non-market economy:
1. Prices are set by government agencies
3. Buyers and sellers are motivated by government directives
5. Buyers and sellers are motivated by a sense of communal well-being
Explanation:
On the one hand, the concept of market economy refers to a type of economy system that basically indicates that the market will find the equilibrium and work properly without the help of the government and therefore it establishes that the economy does not need from the figure of the government and that this last one must worry only about the other issues that do not include the economy.
On the other hand, a non-market economy like its name indicates, it refers to the type of system that do consider that the presence of the government is very important for the correct system of the economy and all of its factors regarding the market. Therefore that this type of system approves the planning of the economy from the government without discussions.
53. To determine how to crash activity times a. normal activity costs and costs under maximum crashing must be known. b. shortest times with crashing must be known. c. realize that new paths may become critical. d. All of the alternatives are true.
Answer:
D. All of the alternatives are true.
Explanation:
Crash activity time are been used in the in different organisations for different reasons. In the case, above the mentioned conditions in all options are been put to consideration. Because in its determination, one has to analyze thoroughly its critical path method in its first step; here the tasks are been shortened before being tackled. Secondly, you identify the newer critical ways in dealing of the things.
Also, normal activity costs and costs under maximum crashing are been made known. Therefore, all options above appear to be one of the steps in critical ways of determining crash activity time.
2. Jill would like to plan for her son’s college education. She would like for her son, who was born today, to attend college for 5 years, beginning at age 18. Tuition is currently $12,000 per year and tuition inflation is 6%. Jill can earn an after-tax rate of return of 8%. How much must Jill save at the end of each year, if she wants to make the last payment at the beginning of her son’s first year of college?
Answer:
$4,531.50
Explanation:
first we must determine the cost of tuition in 18 years (2038):
$12,000 x (1 + 6%)¹⁸ = $34,252 per year
to calculate the total value of college tuition (5 years) in 2038 we can use the annuity due factor (6% and 5 years) 4.4651:
total college tuition = $34,252 x 4.4651 = $152,939
this means that Jill needs to have $152,939 for the moment her son starts college:
we have to calculate the payment:
to calculate the future value of an annuity (since she starts to save at end of the year, it is an ordinary annuity, not annuity due) we use the following formula:
future value = payment x ordinary annuity factor (8% and 17 years)
we know future value ($152,939) and the annuity factor = 33.7502
payment = future value / annuity factor
payment = $152,939 / 33.7502 = $4,531.50

Share Premium ; Preference Stock (credit) $27,500
Preference Stock (credit) $250,000
Explanation:
The Common Stocks are classified as no-par common stock. This means there is no premium account recognized for this classification of stock. The stocks will be presented at their respective value at date of issuance.
With the Preference Stock, this is different. A par value of $100 has been established. Any payment made in excess of the par value will end up in Share Premium Account.
A C corporation earns $ 9.20 per share before taxes and the company pays a dividend of $ 4.00 per share. The corporate tax rate is 39%, the personal tax rate on dividends is 15%, and the personal tax rate on non-dividend income is 36%. What is the after-tax amount an individual would receive from the dividend?
Answer:
The answer is $4.27
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
AC corporation earns = $9.2 per share
Pays a dividend of =$4.00
The tax rate (Corporate ) is =39%
The tax rate on personal dividends is= 15%
The tax rate for non-dividend personal income is = 36%
Now,
We must find the after tax rate amount of after tax rate an individual or a person would earn from the dividend
Thus,
The corporate tax =$9.40 * 39% = 3.67
Personal tax = $4.00 * 15% = 0.6
Now we find the total for the after tax rate
Total = $3.67 + $0.6
= $4.27
Therefore, the after tax rate an individual or a person would earn from the said divided is $4.27
Initially, you produce 100 boxes of jelly beans per time period. Then a new customer calls and places an additional order for jelly beans, requiring you to increase your output to 101 boxes. She offers you $1.75 for the additional box. Should you produce it?
Answer:
You should produce as long as the marginal cost per additional box is lower than the marginal revenue obtained by the additional box.
In other words, if the marginal cost of producing the 101th box is lower than $1.75, then, you should continue to produce, because revenue will be higher than cost, and a profit will be made as a result.
On September 30 the bank statement of Fine Company showed a balance of $7,800. The following information was revealed by comparing the bank statement to the cash balance in Fine's accounting records:
A. Deposits in transit amounted to $3,150
B. Outstanding checks amounted to $6,200
C. A $550 check was incorrectly drawn on Fine's account
D. NSF checks returned by the bank were $750
E. The bank service charge was $29
F. Credit memo for $75 for the collection of one of the company's account receivable
What is the true cash balance?
A) $5,346
B) $5,300
C) $4,596
D) $7,096
Answer:
B) $5,300
Explanation:
The computation of cash balance is shown below:-
True cash balance = Unadjusted bank balance + Deposit in transit + Error in check - Outstanding checks
= $7,800 + $3,150 + $550 - $6,200
= $11,500 - $6,200
= $5,300
Therefore for computing the true cash balance we simply applied the above formula and not considered all other amount as they are not relevant.
TerraLoc competes in the market for global positioning devices and services. The company manufactures its own GPS units, which are smaller than those of any other competitor and include a proprietary battery that lasts 200% longer than any other competitor's battery and that TerraLoc manufacturers on-site. TerraLoc also has developed proprietary software that is much faster and more precise than that of any competitor. When developing the proprietary battery, TerraLoc decided to manufacturer the battery in-house to reduce the possibility that the company it outsourced the battery manufacturing to might reverse engineer the battery and sell a similar product to competitors. This possibility was especially troubling given that the company expected a significant increase in demand due to the improved battery life. Additionally, TerraLoc sells its products and services through its own direct sales force to ensure that its representatives highlight the longer battery life of TerraLoc's units.
TerraLoc's decsion to manufacture the battery in-house is most consistent with which theory(s) of vertical integration?
a. Firm capability-based explanations
b. Alliance-based explanation
c. Opportunism-based explanations
d. Flexibility-based explanations
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: firm capability-based explanations.
Explanation:
To begin with, given the fact that the company decided to manufactured the battery in-house in order to reduce the possibility of helping other competitors when using an outsourced manufacturer then the company is using its firm capability in order to achieve the goal of manufacturing that component of the final product. Therefore that if the company would not have the resources and capability of doing it then it would necessary outsourced the manufactured of it.
The debate on the effects of raising the minimum wage is ongoing. A few years ago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco passed laws to gradually raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. Beaudry, Paul, David A. Green, and Ben M. Sand (investigated the possible effects of these laws on the labor market and concluded that "...for workers below $10 per hour in Seattle, the employment rate declines by over 10 percent in response to raising the minimum wage to $15. Meanwhile, for the larger group with wages at or below $15, the decline is approximately 7 percent." The authors' conclusion is consistent with the specific economic theory discussed in the course that
Answer:
The findings are consistent with the specific economic theory about minimum wage that is held by mainstream, neoclassical theories.
According to this theory, a minimum wage is essentially a binding price floor: a minimum price (in this case, the price of labor, which is the wage) set by the government that is above the market rate.
what happens when imposing this binding price floor is that the supply of labor (workers) becomes higher than the demand (the firms that hire the workers), leading to oversupply. In other words, some workers are left unemployed because there is no demand for them at the price set by the government.
The findings are consistent with this economic theory.
You have recently been hired as the vice president for human resource in an advertising agency. One problem that has been brought to your attention is the fact that the creative departments at the agency have dysfunctionally high levels of conflict. You have spoken with members of each of these departments, and in each one it seems that a few members of the department are creating all the problems. All these individuals are valued contributors how have many creative ad campaigns to their credit. The high levels of conflict are creating problems in the departments, and negative moods and emotions are much more prevalent than positive feelings. What are you going to do to both retain valued employees and alleviate the excessive conflict and negative feelings in these departments?
Explanation:
There are two problems that need to be solved in the scenario above: the increase in team conflicts and the retention of valuable employees who are the cause of conflicts. In these two situations, as recently hired as vice president of human resources for an advertising agency, the ideal would be to try to understand how the people management process that occurred before his arrival at the company was carried out, and from there, find strategies for resolve the two main types of conflicts that occur at the advertising agency.
Some solutions arise from the principle of revising the HR policy and establishing a more direct and facilitated communication with employees, in order to increase the employees' perception of a management focused on the employee's well-being and open to feedbacks.
Another solution for reducing conflicts in teams is the assessment and analysis of the profile of each member individually and in a group, in order to monitor the individual and collective performance of each and define assignments according to their skills, generating greater integration between teams and appreciation of each employee, which increases engagement and motivation at work, reducing conflicts and turnover.
A new American graduate is contemplating buying a
Japanese, German, or an American car. No matter the type of car, he
plans to buy a new one at the end of 8 years.
The Japanese cars will cost $30,000 and have a fuel
usage of 23 Miles Per gallon (mpg) for the first 2 years and will
decrease by 3% per year thereafter. The repair cost will start at $700
per year, and increase by 3% per year. At the end of year 8, the
car can be sold for $5000. Insurance cost will be $700 for the
first year, increasing by 2% per year thereafter.
A German car will cost $45,000 and have fuel usage
of 21mpg for the first 5 years, and decrease by 1% thereafter to
year 8. The repair cost will start at $1000 in year 1 and increase by
4% per year. It will have a salvage value of $7000 at the end of
year 8. Insurance cost will be $850 the first year, increasing by
2% per year thereafter.
The American car will cost $35,000 and have fuel
usage of 20mpg for the first 3 years and will decrease by 3% per
year thereafter. The repair cost will be $800 in year 1, increasing by
4% per year thereafter. Being an American, the graduate will price
the pride of owning an American car at $0.4 for every 20 miles
driven, increasing by 2% per year. Insurance costs will be $800 per
year increasing by 2.2% per year. The car can be sold for $5500 at
the end of year 8.
If the graduate anticipates driving 150000 miles by
the end of year 8 and the average interest rate is expected to
remain at 5% per year, which car is economically affordable based
on present worth analysis? Assume fuel cost will be $3 per gallon
in year 1 and increase by an average of 2% per year. Show all your
workings.
Answer:
The best option is to buy Japanese Car.
Explanation:
Fuel usage per year is 150000/ 8 = 18750 miles per year
Fuel cost (year 1 -8) = $3.0, $3.06, $3.12, $3.18, $3.25, $3.312, $3.38, $3.5
Japanese Car:
Fuel usage 18750 / 23 = 815 * $3 = $2446
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2445, $2494, $2623, $2758. $2900, $3050, $3207, $3372
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $700, $721, $742, $764, $787, $811, $835, $860
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $700, $714, $728, $742, $757, $772, $788, $804
Present value of cost at 5% = 24674.07
Cost of car is $30,000
Total cost = $54674.07
American Car:
Cost $35,000
Fuel usage 18750/20 = 937.5 * $3 per gallon = $2812.5.
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2812, $2913, $2986, $3011. $3098, $3124, $3176, $3208
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $800, $894, $921, $978, $1109, $1176, $1207, $1301
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $800, $827, $876, $898, $908, $932, $954, $934
Present value of cost at 5% = 25302.18
Cost of car is $35,000
Total cost = $60302.
German Car:
Cost = $45,000
Fuel usage 18750 / 21 = 892 * $3 = $2678
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2679, $2732, $2786, $2842. $2899, $2987, $3077, $3171
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $1000, $1040, $1081, $1124, $1169, $1216, $1265, $1316
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $850, $867, $884, $902, $920, $938, $957, $976
Present value of cost at 5% = 27105.73
Cost of car is $45,000
Total cost = $72105.
Hank, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for his sole proprietorship. In late December, he performed $20,000 of legal services for a client. Hank typically requires his clients to pay his bills immediately upon receipt. Assume his marginal tax rate is 30 percent this year and will be 33 percent next year, and that he can earn an after-tax rate of return of 12 percent on his investments.a. What is the after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in December?After- tax income ?b. What is the after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in January? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "PV Factor" to 3 decimal places. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)after-tax income ?c. Should Hank send his client the bill in December or January?DecemberJanuaryd. What is the after-tax income if Hank expects his marginal tax rate to be 25 percent next year and sends his client the bill in January? (Round "PV Factor" to 3 decimal places. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: a. $14,000
b. $14,106
c. January
2. $15,535
Explanation:
a. If Hank sends the bill in December.
Tax rate is 30% this year.
Amount is $20,000
After Tax Income = 20,000 * (1 - tax)
= 20,000 ( 1 - 30%)
= $14,000
b. If Hank pays Next year
Tax rate is 33%
After tax return rate of 12%
Amount is 20,000
Tax = 20,000 * 33%
= $6,600.
Because this is next year, the present value of the tax needs to be computed for better comparison.
With an after tax return of 12%, the PV will be,
= 6,600 * PV factor ( 12%, 1 period)
= 6,600 * 0.893
= $5,894
The income therefore will be,
= $20,000 - 5,894
= $14,106
c. Hank should pay in January as he would make more income.
2. Tax rate is 25% next year and income is to be received next year.
Tax = 20,000 * 25%
= $5,000
PV of $5,000 = 5,000 * PV Factor (12%, 1 period)
= 5,000 * 0.893
= $4,465
After tax income = 20,000 - 4,465
= $15,535
Suppose that there are three beachfront parcels of land available for sale in Asilomar and six people who would each like to purchase one parcel. Assume that the parcels are essentially identical and that the minimum selling price of each is $595,000. The following table states each person's willingness and ability to purchase a parcel.
Willingness and Ability to Purchase Dollars
Bob 620,000
Cho 570,000
Eric 540,000
Ginny 530,000
Sean 750,000
Yvette 660,000
Which of these people will buy one of the three beachfront parcels?
a. Bob
b. Cho
c. Eric
d. Gianny
e. Sean
f. Yvette
Assume that the three beachfront parcels are sold to the people that you indicated in the previous section. Suppose that a few days after the last of those beachfront is sold, another essentially identical beachfront parcels is sold, another essentially identical beachfront parcel becomes available for sale at a minimum price of $582,500. This fourth parcel _____ be sold, because _____ will purchase it from the seller for at least the minimum price.
Answer:
When the minimum price is 582,500, the forth parcel WILL not be sold because the willingness to pay is LESS and no one will purchase it from the seller for atleast the minimum price.
Explanation:
Bob 620,000
Sean 750,000
Yvette 660,000
The people that will buy one of the three beachfront parcels are Bob, Sean and Yvette because they are the ones willing and has the ability to purchase the beachfront parcel of land available for sale in Asilomar.
Cho, Eric and Gianny may as well have the desire to own the beachfront land in Asilomar, but they do not have the ability to pay the selling price.
Therefore when the minimum price is 582,500, the forth parcel WILL not be sold because the willingness to pay is LESS and no one will purchase it from the seller for atleast the minimum price.
Suppose the market for pizzas is unregulated. That is, pizza prices are free to adjust based on the forces of supply and demand.
If a shortage exists in the pizza market, then the current price must be.............than the equilibrium price. For the market to reach equilibrium, you would expect................
Answer:
Lower
Buyers would offer higher prices
Explanation:
When a shortage occurs when Demand exceeds supply. Excess demand occurs when price is below equilibrium price and as a result suppliers reduce quantity supplied.
As a result of the shortage, buyers would offer higher prices. As a result of the higher prices, the quantity supplied would increase and equilibrium would be restored.

Suppose that you would like to put money in an account today to make sure your younger sibling has enough money in 10 years to buy a car. If you would like to give your sibling $20,000 in 10 years, and you know you can get 5% interest per year from a savings account during that time, how much should you put in the account now
Answer:
The amount to be deposited today = $12,278.26
Explanation:
The amount to be deposited in the account is the present value of the 20,000 future value discounted at 5%.
The formula is given below
PV = FV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV - Present Value, r- interest rate, n- number of years
PV = 20,000 × 1.05^(-10)
The amount to be deposited today = $12,278.26
Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 93,000 Betas during the current year. One of Cane’s sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 4,000 additional Betas for a price of $42 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?
Note that the total cost per unit of Betas is $47.
Answer:
decrease by -$4,375,000
Explanation:
Since Cane expects to produce and sell 93,000 Betas during the current year, additional 4000 units would make the total cost be
93,000 + 4,000 = 97,000 units
97,000 x $87 = $8,439,000
To find the decrease or increase in profit, we multiply the total sales volume by the price willing to be paid by the new customer
97,000 x $42 = $4,074,000 (This value is a great loss of profit). By substracting the total cost by amount paid we see a decrease of $8,439,000-$4,074,000= $4,375,000.
Reese, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December, she received a $31,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Reese can pay the $31,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume Reese’s marginal tax rate is 30 percent this year and will be 40 percent next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 6 percent on her investments.a. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $31,000 bill in December?b. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $31,000 bill in January?
Answer:
a) The after-tax cost if she pays the bill in December is $21,700
b) The after-tax cost if she pays the bill in January is $19,306.80
Explanation:
a) If she pays the $31,000 bill in December
Present value tax savings = amount × marginal tax rate
= $31,000 × 30%
= $9,300
After-tax cost = Pre-tax cost - present value tax
= $31,000 - $9,300
= $ 21,700
b) If she pays the $31,000 bill in January
Present value tax savings = amount × marginal tax rate
= $31,000 × 40%
= $12,400
Calculation of discount factor = Present value = [tex]\frac{FutureValue}{(1+r)^{n} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{(1+0.06)^{1} }[/tex]
= 0.943
Present value tax savings = amount × discount factor
= $ 12,400 × 0.943
= $11,693.20
After-tax cost = Pre-tax cost - present value tax
= $31,000 - $11,693.20
= $ 19,306.80
An engineering firm measures its output in standard service hours (SSH) per unit, which is a function of the skill levels of its engineers (skill levels range from an engineering intern to an engineering scientist). The variable cost is $60 per SSH and the fixed cost is $2,000,000 per year. The firm charges $100 for each service per hour. Assume the maximum hours the firm operates (that is the output) is 170,000 per year. a) Compute the break-even point in SSH.b) At what percentage does the break-even occur as compared to the maximum hours the firm operates? c) What is the percentage reduction in the break-even point if the fixed cost can be reduced by 20%? d) Does the break-even point increase or decrease if the charges per service are increased by 10%? e) What is your recommendation? Should the firm reduce the fixed cost or increase the price?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The variable cost is $60 per SSH and the fixed cost is $2,000,000 per year. The firm charges $100 for each service per hour. Assume the maximum hours the firm operates (that is the output) is 170,000 per year.
1) To calculate the break-even point, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 2,000,000/ (100 - 60)
Break-even point in units= 50,000 hours
2) %of hours= (50,000/170,000)*100= 29.41%
3) Fixed costs= $1,800,000
Break-even point in units= 1,800,000/40
Break-even point in units= 45,000 hours
The number of units required to cover for fixed costs diminished by 10%.
4) Selling price= $110
Break-even point in units= 2,000,000/(110 - 60)
Break-even point in units= 40,000 hours
The number of units required to cover for fixed costs diminished by 20%.
5) In generals terms, it is easier to increase the selling price compared to decreasing fixed costs. In this case, the best option is to increase the selling price. The effect on income and the break-even analysis is higher than decreasing fixed costs.
A company's production department was experiencing a high defect rate on the assembly line, which was slowing down production and causing wastage of valuable direct materials. The production manager decided to purchase a higher grade of materials that would be more reliable, but he was worried that the cost of the new materials might negatively affect operating income. This would produce a(n) ________.A. unfavorable direct materials cost variance
B. unfavorable direct materials efficiency variance
C. favorable direct labor cost variance
D. favorable direct labor efficiency variance
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Because the higher the quality of materials the more efficient the product will be
Magnolia, Inc. has budgeted sales for the first quarter of the next year to be 45,000 units. The inventory on hand at the beginning of quarter is 5,000 units. The desired ending inventory is 3,000 units. Calculate the budgeted production for the first quarter.
Answer:
Production= 43,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 45,000 units
Beginning inventory= 5,000 units
The desired ending inventory is 3,000 units.
To calculate the budgeted production, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 45,000 + 3,000 - 5,000
Production= 43,000 units
Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta for the first adviser was 1.5, while that of the second was 1.
Required:
a. If the T-bill rate was 6% and the market return during the period was 14%, which adviser would be the superior stock selector.
b. Can you tell which adviser was a better selector of individual stocks (aside from the issue of general movements in the market)?
c. What if the T-bill rate were 3% and the market return 15%?
Answer: Adviser B is the superior stock selector.
Explanation:
For the comparision between the two investment advisers, the Jenson's Alpha will be utilized.
Jenson's Alpha:
= Portfolio Actual Return - CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio Return)
T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 6%
Market return(E(Em) = 14%
Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5
Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1
For Adviser A:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1.5 (14-6)
= 6 + 12
= 18%
Actual Return = 19%
Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 18% = 1%
For Adviser B:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1(14-6) = 6 + 1(8) = 14%
Actual Return = 16%
Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 14% = 2%
Adviser B is a better selector because he has a larger alpha of 2% compared to Adviser A who has 1%.
T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 3%
Market return(E(Rm) = 15%
Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5
Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1
For Adviser A:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1.5 (15-3)
= 3 + 18
= 21%
Actual Return = 19%
Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 21% = -2%
For Adviser B:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1(15-3) = 3 + 1(12) = 15%
Actual Return = 16%
Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 15% = 1%
Given the changes, Adviser B is still the better selector because he has a larger alpha of 1% compared to Adviser A who has -2%.
Robert Necco and Nelson Packard are economists at Economic Research Associates. ERA asks Necco and Packard for their opinions about the effects of fiscal policy on real GDP for an economy currently experiencing a recession. Necco states that real GDP is likely to increase if both government spending and taxes are increased by the same amount. Packard states that if both government spending and taxes are increased by the same amount, there is no expected net effect on real GDP.
Regarding the statements made by Necco and Packard:
Necco Packard
A) Correct Correct
B) Correct Incorrect
C) Incorrect Incorrect
D) Incorrect Correct
Answer: B) Correct Incorrect
Explanation:
Whilst it was generally believed at some point that raising taxes and Government Spending by the same amount would have no effect, research has disproven this thought.
This is because it was shown that an increase in Government Spending leads to a larger increase in GDP than an increase in taxes reduces it.
This is because when the Government spends money, the Multiplier effect of Government Spending is always 1 more than that of the Taxes therefore raising taxes and spending by the same amounts still increases the Real GDP because Government Spending will create more income than taxes will take.
Necco is right, Packard is wrong.
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $30. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $40. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter the international market.
If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will (import/export?) meekers.
Given current economic conditions in Meekertown, complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is true or false.
Statement True False
Meekertownian consumers are worse off under free trade than they were before.
Meekertownian producers were better off without free trade than they are with it.
True or False: When a country is too small to affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
Answer:
Export
True
False
True
Explanation:
Free trade is a form of trade policy where there are no restrictions to imports or exports of goods and services.
The price of meekers is $30 in Meekertown and $40 In the world. Because meeker's are cheaper in Meekertown, it means that Meekertown is efficient in the production of meekers. As a result, they would export meekers to the rest of the world. It would be cost efficient for the rest of the world to import from Meekertown.
Consumers in Meekertown are worse of because of the trade because the price of Meekers would rise.
Producers are better off because they would earn more profits from the sale of Meekers at the world price.
Free trade increases total surplus because of efficient production. If a country is inefficient in production, it would import . This would increase consumer surplus and if it is efficient in production, it would export increasing producer surplus.

During the year, TRC Corporation has the following inventory transactions. Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total Cost Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 44 $ 36 $ 1,584 Apr. 7 Purchase 124 38 4,712 Jul. 16 Purchase 194 41 7,954 Oct. 6 Purchase 104 42 4,368 466 $ 18,618 For the entire year, the company sells 413 units of inventory for $54 each. Required: 1. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.
Answer:
TRC Corporation
Calculations, using FIFO:
a) Ending Inventory:
Ending Inventory in units = Units available for sale minus Units sold
Ending Inventory in units = 466 - 413 = 53 units
Ending Inventory value = Units x FIFO cost of last purchase = 53 x $42 = $2,226
b) Cost of goods sold:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory
Cost of goods sold = $1,584 + 17,034 - 2,226 = $16,392
c) Sales Revenue:
Sales Revenue = Units sold x Selling price = 414 x $54 = $22,302
d) Gross Profit:
Gross Profit = Sales Revenue minus Cost of goods sold
Gross Profit = $22,302 - $16,392 = $5,910
Explanation:
a) Summary of Inventory Transactions:
Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total Cost
Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 44 $ 36 $ 1,584
Apr. 7 Purchase 124 38 4,712
Jul. 16 Purchase 194 41 7,954
Oct. 6 Purchase 104 42 4,368
b) Cost of goods available 466 $ 18,618
c) Sales 413 $ 54 $ 22,302
d) Dec. 31 Ending Inventory 53 42 $ 2,226
e) The FIFO (First-in, First-out) inventory method assumes that goods sold are from earlier inventory units, unlike Last-in, First-out (LIFO). This means that beginning and earlier purchased inventory units are sold first before the latest purchases. Using the FIFO method, the ending inventory is valued at the cost of the most recent inventory purchases.
