Revenue $150,000
Expenses:
Variable production costs $60,000
Fixed production costs 25,000
Variable selling and administration 10,000
Fixed selling and administration 35,000 130,000
$20.000
Income
Required:
A. What vołume of snowboards must be sold to ean pretax profits of $30,000?
B. Snowbird's supplier of snowboards is unable to ship more than 500 boards for the upcoming season. Snowbird has been paying the supplier $85 for each snowboard. (The cost of the snowboards is incłuded in variable production costs). More expensive snowboards are available from other manufacturers for conversion. If Snowbird's managers expect to sell more than 500 converted snowboards in the upcoming season, what is the most they would be willing to pay outside suppliers for each additional snowboard?
C. Suppose Snowbird pays the price you calculated in part (B) and sells an additional 200 snowboards. What is the commany's incremental profit on the 200 snowboards?
Answer:
A. 563 snowboards
B. $120
C. Incremental Profit:$32,000
Explanation:
Volume to meet target profit = (Target Profit + Fixed Cost) / Contribution per unit
Calculation of Contribution per unit
Revenue $150,000
Less Variable Costs ;
Variable production costs ($60,000)
Variable selling and administration ($10,000)
Contribution $80,000
Contribution per unit = $80,000 / 500 snowboards
= $160
Volume to meet target profit = ($30,000 + $25,000 + $35,000) / $160
= 562.50 or 563 snowboards
For the Additional Snowboats,Snowbird's managers are willing to pay a price close to cost of making the regular snowboards internally.
Cost of Making :
Variable production costs ($60,000 / 500) = $120
Total Cost = $120
Therefore, Snowbird's managers are willing to pay $120
For Incremental Profit or Loss, prepare a differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards.
Differential analysis for the additional 200 snowboards
Sales (200 snowboards × $300) $60,000
Less Incremental Production Costs ( 200 × $120) ($24,000)
Less Incremental selling and administration (200 × $20) ($4,000)
Incremental Profit $32,000

During a Value-Added Flow Analysis, the team studied a process step where they checked the customer's credit. What is the best label for this step?
Answer:
Non-Value-Adding but required.
Explanation:
A Value-Added flow analysis is a graphical visualization tool that is used for identifying non-essential activities or steps within a process. It basically, allows individuals or team to analyze, identify and separate value-adding activities from non-value-adding activities or steps in an organization. This simply means that, it avails an organization or business the ability to separate activities that add value for the user from the activities that are non-value-adding.
The value-adding activities are the steps that adds value to an organization's product or project while the non-value-adding activities are those steps which do not add any value to the organization's product.
In this scenario, during a value-added flow analysis, the team studied a process step where they checked the customer's credit. The best label for this step is Non-value-adding but required.
The process of checking a customer's credit is a necessary task or a required step but in the real sense of lean, it is considered as a non-value-adding activity. This is simply because, it is required to check the customer's credit in order to update the balance sheet and to know the amount that is granted to these customers.
However, it does not add any value to the organization.
Clayborn Company deposits all cash receipts on the day they are received and makes all cash payments by check. At the close of business on May 31, its Cash account shows a debit balance of $28,525. Clayborn's May bank statement shows $25,000 on deposit in the bank. Determine the adjusted cash balance using the following information:Deposit in transit $5,200Outstanding checks $4,600Bank service fees, not yet recorded by company $25A NSF check from a customer, not yet recorded by the company $600Required:What should be the adjusted cash balance?
Answer:
$27,900
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted cash balance is shown below:-
Adjusted cash balance = Balance at May 31 - bank service fees - NSF check
= $28,525 - $25 - $600
= $27,900
Therefore for computing the adjusted cash balance we simply deduct the bank service fee and NSF check from balance at may 31
Hence, the adjusted cash balance is $27,900

Answer:
Instructions are below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 520 $ 4,470
February 490 4,260
March 300 2,820
April 500 4,350
May 310 2,960

September 470 4,050
October 350 3,300
November 340 3,160
December 320 3,030
A) To calculate the fixed and variable costs, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,470 - 2,820) / (520 - 300)
Variable cost per unit= $7.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,470 - (7.5*520)
Fixed costs= $570
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,820 - (7.5*300)
Fixed costs= $570
B)
Total cost= 570 + 7.5x
x= hours of mantainance
C) x= 590
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*590
TC= $4,995
D) x= 600
Total cost= 570 + 7.5*600
TC= $5,070

If Galaxia has a GDP that is 10 times larger than Myopia, which country would likely have greater marginal returns to capital based on the law of diminishing returns to capital
Answer:
Myopia
Explanation:
The law of marginal returns states that as the total amount of any production factor increases, the output per unit of that factor will start to decrease. In other words, the marginal output or return from that factor will decrease. E.g. if you invest $100 in a small business, you will require a very high rate of return. If instead, you invest $1,000 in corporate bonds, you will only obtain moderate to low yields.
In this case, $1,000 invested in Myopia (smaller economy) should return a higher yield than $1,000 invested in Galaxia. Also, the $1,000 invested in Myopia will have a larger economic effect than the $1,000 invested in Galaxia.

Answer:
b. Debit Work in Process Inventory $160,000; credit Factory Payroll Payable $160,000.
Explanation:
In order to record the cost of goods manufactured, once the goods are finished, you add up all the work in process debits. The following journal entry would be:
Dr Finished goods inventory
Cr Work in process inventory (all added up)
In this case, since you are recording labor usage, you must also credit wages or payroll payable (that correspond to the amount of labor used to manufacture the goods).
"An order for a New York Stock Exchange listed issue is routed by the member firm to a Third Market Maker rather than to the exchange floor. This practice is:"
Answer: Permitted if the price offered by the Third Market Maker is better.
Explanation:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that when executing trades, the trader should seek for execution at the best market. This means that the trader should trade in the market that is most price efficient.
Should the stock in question be available for trade in various markets, best practice would indicate that the dealer find the market that is offering the best prices and route the order to it.
OJ's Orange Juice produces orange juice to sell in a competitive market.Given uncertainty in weather patterns, OJ has to determine how much juice to produce before knowing the competitive price. It is estimated that there is a 10 percent chance the competitive price will be $5 and a 90 percent chance the price will be $2. If the marginal cost of producing orange juice is MC(Q) = 2Q, then to maximize expected profits, OJ should produce:__________.a- 0.25 units. b- 2.5 units. c- 1.15 units. d- 0.9 units.
Answer:
c- 1.15 units.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Expected price at 10 percent = $5 * 10% = $0.5
Expected price at 90 percent = $2 * 90% = $1.80
Total expected price (EP) = $0.5 + $1.80 = $2.3
Since profit is maximized when EP = MC, we have:
2.3 = 2Q
Q = 2.3 / 2 = 1.15
Therefore, OJ should produce 1.15 units to maximize expected profit. The correction is therefore c- 1.15 units.

Assume that you are 30 years old today, and that you are planning on retirement at age 65. You expect your salary to be $42,000 one year from now and you also expect your salary to increase at a rate of 5% per year as long as you work. To save for your retirement, you plan on making annual contributions to a retirement account. Your first contribution will be made on your 31st birthday and will be 8% of this year's salary. Likewise, you expect to deposit 8% of your salary each year until you reach age 65. Assume that the rate of interest is 9%. The present value (PV) (at age 30) of your retirement savings is closest to
Answer:
$50,855.62
Explanation:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet to determine the yearly contributions to the plan and their future value.
once you reach 65 years, your retirement account should have $1,038,165. Now we need to determine the present value = $1,038,165 / (1 + 9%)³⁵ = $50,855.62
1. Write about whether or not you believe productivity would go up, down, or stay the same in an enterprise where the workers are owners versus a traditional workplace. How would this affect GDP, inflation, and other macroeconomic variables
Answer:
Productivy would go up only as long as some of the workers can become competent managers.
Explanation:
The problem with worker ownership of the means of production (the firm), which is what socialism is about, is that workers do not necessarily have managerial skill, and as result, are likely to be unable to run the company efficiently.
In case this does not happen, and the workers manage to run the company well, GDP would increase because productivity in the firm would rise. Inflation would likely fall down because more productivity means more output of goods and services, and inflation tends to have a inverse relationship with output (although it also depends on other variables like the rate of growth of the money supply).
Finally, another macroeconomic variable that would positively affected is employment rate, because a more efficient company would likely require new workers.
A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 4.3 percent. The bond price was $945.46 at the beginning of the year and $976.26 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.2 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the bond's real return for the year we would have to calculate the following formula:
bond's real return for the year=(1+Nominal rate of return)/(1+Inflation) -1
According to the given data Inflation=2.2 percent
To calculate the Nominal rate of return we would have to calculate the following:
Nominal rate of return=(Selling price + Interest coupon - Purchase price)/Purchase price
According to the given data:
Selling price=$976.26
Interest coupon=$43
Purchase price=$945.46
Therefore, Nominal rate of return=($976.26 + $43 - $945.46)/ $945.46
Nominal rate of return=7.81%
Therefore, bond's real return for the year= (1+7.81%)/(1+2.2%) -1
bond's real return for the year=5.49%
The bond's real return for the year was 5.49%
Explain how the Federal Reserve Board can increase or decrease the money supply using each of the following tools: reserve requirements, open-market activities, and discount rates
Answer:
Reserve requirements – Reserve requirement increases to decrease the money supply or vice versa.
Open-market activities – the Fed sell the securities to reduce money supply or purchase it to increase the money supply.
Discount rates – Decrease the discount rate to increase the money supply or vice versa.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve increases or decreases the money supply by using various tools. So in the case of the reserve requirement, the bank increases the percentage of reserve requirement if the Fed wants to decrease the money supply and to increase the money supply it reduces the reserve requirements. In the case of open market operations, the Fed sells securities and bonds in the market in order to reduce the supply of money or to decrease the supply of money it buys the securities from the market.
In the case of a discount rate, the Fed reduces the discount rate to increase the money supply because reducing the discount rate will induce the banks to give more loans. But to decrease the money supply, the Fed increases the discount rate because an increase in the discount rate reduces the ability of banks to give loans.

Assume that Clampett, Inc., has $390,000 of sales, $340,000 of cost of goods sold, $250,000 of interest income, and $230,000 of dividends. What is Clampett, Inc.'s excess net passive income
Answer:
Clampett, Inc.'s excess net passive income is $262,500.
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the Gross Receipt
Gross Receipt
Sales $390,000
Interest Income $250,000
Dividend $230,000
Gross receipts $870,000
25% of Gross receipt = $870,000 x 25% = $217,500
Now Calculate the passive income
Interest Income $250,000
Dividend $230,000
Passive Income $480,000
Now calculate the excess passive income
Excess passive income = Passive income - 25% of gross receipt
Excess passive income = $480,000 - $217,500 = $262,500
