Answer:
total contribution margin = $68,500
Explanation:
31,000 hours of labor available
Product M Product N
Required labor time per unit (hours) 2 3
Maximum demand (units) 6,500 8,000
Contribution margin per unit $5 $5.70
Contribution margin per labor hour $2.50 $1.90
since the constraint here is the total number of labor hours, the company must first produce the product that generates the highest contribution margin per labor hour = product M.
total units produced of product M = 6,500
total labor hours required = 6,500 x 2 = 13,000
contribution margin product M = 13,000 x $2.50 = $32,500
remaining labor hours = 31,000 - 13,000 = 18,000
total units of product N produced = 18,000 / 6 = 6,000
contribution margin product N= 18,000 x $2 = $36,000
total contribution margin = $68,500
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
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.
The airline companies often change their flight prices over time. Assume Mary is planning her trip to New York City during the Christmas holiday. When she first checked the price in September, the ticket price was $300 round trip per person. However, when she checked the price again in early December, she noticed the price increased to $600 round trip per person for the same flight. This is an example of _______________.
Answer:
Third degree price discrimination
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
A company purchased a weaving machine for $273,400. The machine has a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $15,000. It is estimated that the machine could produce 760,000 bolts of woven fabric over its useful life. In the first year, 110,000 bolts were produced. In the second year, production increased to 114,000 units. Using the units-of-production method, what is the amount of depreciation expense that should be recorded for the second year
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $38,760
Explanation:
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(273,400 - 15,000)/760,000]*114,000
Annual depreciation= $38,760
Bramble Corp. purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $109000. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $3700 and a useful life of 121000 miles. It was driven 21000 miles in 2020 and 29000 miles in 2021. What is the depreciation expense for 2021
Answer:
2020 = 18275.206
2021 = 25237.190
Explanation:
Cost of truck at beginning of 2020 = $109,000
Salvage value = $3700
Useful life = 121,000 miles
Miles driven in 2020 = 21000
Miles driven in 2021 = 29000
Depreciation expense 2020:
((Cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life) * miles driven in 2020
((109,000 - 3700) / 121000) * 21000
0.8702479 * 21000 = 18275.206
Depreciation expense 2021:
((109,000 - 3700) / 121000) * 29000
= 25237.190
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.
Answer:
TrueTrueExplanation:
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.
Pacifica Industrial Products Corporation makes two products, Product H and Product L. Product H is expected to sell 40,000 units next year and Product L is expected to sell 8,000 units. A unit of either product requires 0.4 direct labor-hours.
The company's total manufacturing overhead for the year is expected to be $1,632,000.
Required:
1-a. The company currently applies manufacturing overhead to products using direct labor-hours as the allocation base. If this method is followed, how much overhead cost per unit would be applied to each product? Product H Product L Overhead cost per unit
1-b. Compute the total amount of overhead cost that would be applied to each product Product H Product L Total Total overhead cost
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system and would like to know what impact this change might have on product costs. For purposes of discussion, it has been suggested that all of the manufacturing overhead be treated as a product-level cost. The total manufacturing overhead would be divided in half between the two products, with $816,000 assigned to Product H and $816,000 assigned to Product L If this suggestion is followed, how much overhead cost per unit would be assigned to each product? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Present owners of a network good receivegreater benefits as new buyers purchase the good. How do network externalities help a monopoly retain its market power? By exploiting network externalities, a firm can become a natural monopoly. If there are strong network externalities associated with a good, other goods are poor substitutes for it. Goods with network externalities are more likely to receive a government patent.
Answer:
How network externalities help a monopoly retain its market power:
By exploiting network externalities, a firm can become a natural monopoly.
Explanation:
In economics, Network externality describes a situation whereby the demand for a product depends on the demand of other consumers buying that product. This implies that the value of the product to the consumer is increased because others are joining as buyers. The present owners of a network product will actually gain more benefits as new buyers purchase the good because the fixed costs of rendering the service or providing the good are not increased with increasing buyers, but remain the same over a relevant range.
Analysts look for red flags in financial statements that may signal financial trouble. Which of the following is a red flag that suggests that a company may be in trouble? A. a consistent movement in sales, merchandise inventory, and accounts receivable B. operating activities are a major source of cash flows C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row D. a reduction in the debt ratio
Answer:
C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row
Explanation:
A significant decrease in net income for several years in a row show that the firm is generating less revenue or its expenses are generally increasing at a rate greater than the sales. This may soon lead into a loss. A loss making firm will eventually have challenges in cashflow. So, this signals financial trouble.

Bantam company calculated its net income to be $77,600 based on the unadjusted trial balance. The following adjusting entries were then made for: Salaries and wages owed but not yet paid of $795. Interest earned but not received from investments of $755. Prepaid insurance premiums amounting to $555 have expired. Deferred revenue in the amount of $755 has now been earned. Required: Determine the amount of net income (loss) that will be reported after the adjustments are recorded.
Answer:
$77,760
Explanation:
After adjustment items of expenses will be deducted from the Net income, and items of income will be added to the net income.
Item of expenses = unpaid salary + Prepaid insurance (Expired)
Item of income = Interest earned + revenue
Net income after deduction = 77,600 - 795 - 555 + 755 + 755
Net income after deduction = $77,760

8-4 Valuing Commercial Real Estate BuildingOne Properties is a limited partnership formed with the express purpose of investing in commercial real estate. The firm is currently considering the acquisition of an office building that we refer to simply as building B. Building B is very similar to building A, which recently sold for $36,960,000. BuildingOne has gathered general information about the two buildings, including valuation information for building A:
Answer:
the question is incomplete:
Buildings A and B are similar in size (80,000 and 90,000 square feet, respectively). However, the two buildings differ both in maintenance costs ($23 and $30 per square foot) and rental rates ($100 versus $120 per square foot). At this point, we do not know why these differences exist. Nonetheless, the differences are real and should somehow be accounted for in the analysis of the value of building B using data based on the sale of building A. Building A sold for $462 per square foot, or $36,960,000. This reflects a sales multiple of six times the building’s net operating income (NOI) of $6,160,000 per year and a capitalization rate of 16.67%.
NOI of building A = ($100 x 80,000 ft²) - ($23 x 80,000 ft²) = $6,160,000
NOI of building B = ($120 x 90,000 ft²) - ($30 x 90,000 ft²) = $8,100,000
building B's market value = NOI / capitalization rate = $8,100,000 / 0.1667 = $48,600,000
property value = $48,600,000 / 90,000 ft² = $540 per ft²

Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales data for prepaid cell phones for May are as follows: Inventory Purchases Sales May 1 1,300 units at $36 May 10 650 units at $38 May 12 910 units May 20 585 units at $40 May 14 780 units May 31 390 units Assuming that the perpetual inventory system is used, costing by the LIFO method, determine the cost of merchandise sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale. Under LIFO, if units are in inventory at two different costs, enter the units with the HIGHER unit cost first in the Cost of Merchandise Sold Unit Cost column and LOWER unit cost first in the Inventory Unit Cost column.
Answer:
total cost of goods sold = $78,520
Explanation:
Inventory Purchases Sales
May 1 1,300 units at $36
May 10 650 units at $38
May 12 910 units
Cost of goods sold = (650 x $38) + (260 x $36) = $34,060
May 20 585 units at $40
May 14 780 units
Cost of goods sold = (585 x $40) + (195 x $36) = $30,420
May 31 390 units
Cost of goods sold = 390 x $36 = $14,040
total cost of goods sold = $34,060 + $30,420 + $14,040 = $78,520

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.

If Diamond and Turf has sufficient funds for only one of the machines and qualitative factors are equal between the two machines, in which machine should it invest?
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.

Brad's Diner is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $32,000 a year for 4 years as a result. This expansion requires $39,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $3,000 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 12 percent
Answer: $57,101.73
Explanation:
First find the present value of the cash inflows. The $32,000 is a constant payment so is an annuity. The net working capital will be realized at the end of the project as well.
Present value of cash inflows = (32,000 * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 4 years, 12%) + 3,000/ (1 + 12%)⁴
= (32,000 * 3.0373) + 1,906.55
= $99,101.73
NPV = Present value of inflows - Outflows
= 99,100.15 - (39,000 + 3,000)
= $57,101.73
Which case below best represents a case of price discrimination? A. A professional baseball team pays two players with different batting averages different salaries. B. A major airline sells tickets to senior citizens at lower prices than to other passengers. C. An insurance company offers discounts to safe drivers. D. A utility company charges less for electricity used during "off-peak" hours, when it does not have to operate its less-efficient generating plants.
Answer:
B. A major airline sells tickets to senior citizens at lower prices than to other passengers.
Explanation:
The pricing strategy refers to a strategy where the company charges the different prices for the similar products to the customers
In the case of the pure price discrimination, the seller would charge the price i.e. maximum he or she would have to pay also it is depend upon the specific characteristics and the amount charged to each and every group through a different price
Therefore the option B is correct

When you apply for a credit card, you’re required to share an array of personal information on your application. This will include details like your name, address, Social Security number and current employment status. You’ll also be asked to list your income on your application, although the type of income card issuers ask for can vary depending on the card issuer.

Not all credit card issuers will ask for your annual net income. Some may explicitly ask for your gross income. If you are paid an hourly wage, on the other hand, you may need to figure out your gross income using last year’s tax return or by multiplying your gross weekly income by the number of weeks you work within a year.
