Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We have determined that the highest and lowest bills were $5,600 and $3,200 for January and September. We produced 1,200 and 600 units in these months.
To calculate the variable cost per unit, we need to use the high-low method. We will use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (5,600 - 3,200) / (1,200 - 600)
Variable cost per unit= $4

Patricia is a business owner who is trying to determine the cost of goods sold for 2019. She bought 20 units of inventory at $11, then 26 units at $9, and finally 18 units at $14. She sold 30 units in 2019 and uses FIFO for her inventory valuation. What was her cost of goods sold in 2019, assuming that there was no inventory at the beginning of the year?
Answer:
COGS= $310
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
She bought 20 units of inventory at $11, then 26 units at $9, and finally 18 units at $14.
She sold 30 units in 2019.
Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) valuation method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the firsts units incorporated into inventory.
COGS= 20*11 + 10*9
COGS= $310

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have an impact far beyond their firm boundaries. Assume you are working for a small firm that supplies a product or service to an MNE. How might your relationship change as the MNE moves from Globalization 2.0 to Globalization 3.0 operations?
Answer:
Multinational enterprises (MNEs)
Relationship Change as the MNE moves from Globalization 2.0 to Globalization 3.0 operations:
This move means that Indian and Chinese companies would be competing with my local small firm. The MNE may be looking for cheaper prices for my company's products and services, which the Indian and Chinese companies would more efficiently supply it. My firm may be on the precipice of liquidating if this MNE is our major customer. My firm must move fast to become more competitive by differentiating our products and services with better quality and perhaps reduced production costs, to enable it compete more favorably with the Indian and Chinese competitors. Otherwise, we may regard the relationship as nearing its end and prepare for other opportunities with other companies.
Explanation:
Globalization reduces national boundaries by integrating national economies into a globalized economy, thus enabling companies to compete globally for financial resources, goods, and services. When Globalization 1.0 happened, countries were globalized and the world became a global village. When Globalization 2.0 from which the G7 profited largely, companies were globalized. With the current Globalization 3.0, individuals are being globalized, and the highest beneficiaries are Indian and Chinese nationals who appear better prepared to take on the world, garner most of the important resources to themselves, and call the shots from the boardrooms. An example is Microsoft's current CEO, Satya Nadella, who is an Indian-American.
The following data relate to direct materials costs for February: Materials cost per yard: standard, $1.98; actual, $2.03 Standard yards per unit: standard, 4.69 yards; actual, 4.93 yards Units of production: 9,300 Calculate the direct materials price variance.
Answer:
-$2,292.45 Unfavorable
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of direct materials price variance is shown below:-
Material price variance = (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity
= ($1.98 - $2.03) × 9,300 × 4.93
= -$0.05 × 9,300 × 4.93
= -$2,292.45 Unfavorable
Therefore for computing the material price variance we simply applied the above formula.
The original cost of the machine was $1,800,000. The machine has a class life of 15 years, but after 13 years, the firm has decided to sell the machine for $320,000. If Monster Potato has a marginal tax rate of 21%, what is the tax effect associated with the decision?
Answer: $16,800 tax payment.
Explanation:
Annual depreciation on machine = [tex]\frac{1,800,000}{15}[/tex]
= $120,000
Accumulated Depreciation in 13 years;
= 120,000*13
= $1,560,000
Book Value at 13 years
= 1,800,000 - 1,560,000
= $240,000
Company sold it at a higher price than its book value so there will be a capital gain of;
= 320,000 - 240,000
= $80,000
Tax is charged on the marginal gain;
= 80,000 * 21%
= $16,800

Mary just bought a 20-year bond with an 8% coupon rate (paid semi-annually) and $1000 par value for $1050. She is expecting an effective annual yield (EAY) of
Answer:
7.65%
Explanation:
Calculation for Mary effective annual yield (EAY)
The first step is to find the Semiannual coupon payment using this formula
Semiannual coupon payment=(Par value×Coupon rate percentage/2)
Let plug in the formula
Semiannual coupon payment =($1,000 × 8%) ÷2
Semiannual coupon payment= $80 ÷ 2 = $40
Second step is to find The total number of compounding period will be 20 years bond × The number of the compounding period er year which is 2
Hence,
The total number of compounding period will= 2 periods per year × 20 years = 40 periods.
Third step is to use the financial calculator which calculated the rate as 3.76% which means that:
Semiannual yield will be :3.76%
Therefore the Annual yield will be calculatedas = 3.76% ×2
Annual yield= 7.51%
The last step is to find the effective annual yield (EAY) using this formula
EAY = [1+(Quoted interest rate / m]m -1
Let plug in the formula
EAY = [1+(0.0751÷2)]2 -1
EAY= 7.65%.
Therefore the effective annual yield (EAY) will be 7.65%

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Hudson Co. reports the contribution margin income statement for 2017. HUDSON CO. Contribution Margin Income Statement For Year Ended December 31, 2017 Sales (11,500 units at $225 each) $ 2,587,500 Variable costs (11,500 units at $180 each) 2,070,000 Contribution margin $ 517,500 Fixed costs 360,000 Pretax income $ 157,500 1. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units and. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.
Answer:
1) Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs.
Break even point in units is calculated using this formula:
Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)
Break-even point in units = 360,000/(225- 180) = 8000 units
Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) is computed as follows:
Break-even point (sales) = Total general fixed cost/C/S ratio.
C/s ratio = (Selling price - variable cost)/Selling price × 100
= (225 - 180)/225 × 100 = 20%
Break-even point (sales) = 360,000/20% = $1,800,000
Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
1) Break-even point in units =8000 units
2) Break-even point (sales) = $1,800,000
You own two different energy drink brands with similar elasticities: "Blue Cow" and "600 minute energy." If you reduce the price on "Blue Cow", you can only increase your total sales if
Answer: b. Prices for “600 minute energy” are reduced
Explanation:
The drinks have similar elasticities so they are substitutes. This means that reducing the price of one will cause people to demand less of the other drink. By reducing the price of "Blue Cow", there will be less demand for "600 minute energy".
To increase total sales therefore, the effects of the decrease in the price of Blue Cow must be counteracted. To do so, the price of 600 minute energy must be reduced as well. This way people will demand the two drinks more. This reduction will draw in people buying other drinks apart from these 2 thereby increasing total sales.
If the minority price for a single share of stock of a company is $20, if there are 500 thousand shares of stock, and a person offers to buy the entire company for $14.5 million, what is the controlling interest premium being offered
Answer:
$4,500,000
Explanation:
current market price per stock $20
total stocks outstanding 500,000
corporation's total value = 500,000 x $20 = $10,000,000
investor's offer to purchase 100% at $14,500,000
controlling interest premium = $14,500,000 - $10,000,000 = $4,500,000
new price per stock = $14,500,000 / 500,000 = $29
The controlling interest premium equals the difference between the current market price of the stock and the purchase offer.
Suppose that the government immediately pursues an _____________ policy by increasing government purchases in response to the short-run economic impact of the higher oil prices.
Answer:
The answer to the blank space is: expansionary fiscal policy
Explanation:
Expansionary fiscal policy consists in either the increase of government purchases (fiscal spending), or the reduction of taxes, or both.
Expansionary fiscal policy is recommended when the economy is experiencing a downturn, and can be helpful in reducing the damage that the economic slump generates.
In the case of the question, higher oil prices for an importing country will result in less economic activity because this important fuel becomes more expensive, both for manufacturing, agriculture and services. For this reason, the government responds by increasing spending with the goal of reactivating the economy as soon as possible, and reducing the damange that was already done.
You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 40 percent.
Debt: 5,000 7.2 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 30 years to maturity, selling for 108 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments.
Common stock: 440,000 shares outstanding, selling for $62 per share; the beta is 1.05.
Preferred stock: 22,000 shares of 3 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $82 per share.
Market: 11 percent market risk premium and 5.2 percent risk-free rate.
What is the company's WACC?
Answer:
14.06%
Explanation:
The computation of the company WACC is shown below:
Particulars After tax Market value Weights WACC
(cost % × weights)
Common stock 16.75% $27,280,000 0.79 13.25%
(440,000 shares × $62)
Preferred stock 3.66% $1,804,000 0.05 0.19%
(22,000 shares × $82)
Debt 3.95% $5,400,000 0.16 0.62%
(5,000 shares × $1,000 × 108%)
Total $34,484,000 1
WACC 14.06%
Working note
Cost of common equity is
= Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
= 5.2% + 1.05 × 11%
= 5.2% + 11.55%
= 16.75%
Cost of preferred stock is
= Annual dividend ÷ Market price per share
= 0.03 ÷ $82
= 3.65%
And, the cost of debt is calculated by using the RATE formula i.e
= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)
= RATE(30 × 2, $1,000 × 7.2% ÷ 2, -$1,080, $1,000)
After calculated this, the rate of interest should be multiplied by 2 and then applied the tax rate of (1 - 0.40)
So, the rate is 3.95%
Moraine, Inc., has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays a 3.50 dividend in perpetuity. If this issue currently sells for 85 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
4.12%
Explanation:
Given that:
Payment of dividend per year = $3.50
Issue price of preferred stock = $85
(Note: Assumed that $85 is the face value of the preferred stock)
Hence, the formula for Required return = Dividend per year/ face value of the stock
= $3.5/ $85 = 0.0411764705
Then converting the answer to percentage, we have
0.0411764705 * 100% = 4.1764705
Therefore, the required return is = 4.12% (approximately)

2. A Treasury bill with a par value of £100,000 due in two months from now is selling today for £98,039, what is the effective annual rate of interest
Answer:
Effective annual rate = 12.62%
Explanation:
The Effective annual rate of return is the equivalent rate earned where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
The EAR can be worked out as follows
EAR = ( (1+r)^n - 1 ) × 100
r- interest rate per period
m- number of periods in a year
EAR - Effective annual rate
So we apply this model to the questions as follows:
Cash return = 100,000- 98,039 =1,961
Return over two months = cash return /price today × 100 =
= 1,961/98,039 × 100 =2.0%
Interest per 2 month = 2.0%
DATA:
r- 2%
n - number of two months in a year = 6
Effective annual rate = ((1+0.02)^6 - 1) × 100= 12.6162 %
Effective annual rate = 12.62%
The manager of a gas station noticed that when prices in the convenience store of the gas station decreased, gas sales increased. This could possibly be because the convenience store products are
Answer:
usually complements to the gas sales
Explanation:
Complementary products are those that their demand increases with the increased demand of other products.
Complementary products are usually used together. For example tea and sugar are consumed together, so an increase in tea consumption should result in an increase in sugar consumption.
In this scenario when the price of the convenience store products falls, their demand will increase. If there is an increase in gas sales too it is logical to conclude that the convenience store goods are complements of gas sales.

Jan's Bakery is considering a merger with Tina's Cookies. Jan's total operating costs of producing services are $300,000 for a sales volume of $2 million. Tina's total operating costs of producing services are $75,000 for a sales volume of $600,000. If the two firms merge, calculate the total average cost for the merged firm assuming no synergies.
Answer:
Jan's Bakery and Tina Cookies
Total Average Cost for the merged firm
= ($300,000 + $75,000)/2
= $187,500
Explanation:
The total average cost for Jan's Bakery and Tina's Cookies is the average of their total operating costs. This is obtained by adding $300,000 to $75,000 and then dividing by 2.
Though, in practical terms, the presence of some synergies will cut some of the operating costs off, especially such costs as rent, advertising, and some other administrative costs. Some selling costs will also be eliminated when the merger goes through.

Answer:
shutdown in the short run
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.
for T-Shirt Enterprises, price is $2 which is less than average variable cost
Use the information for the question(s) below. Project A Project B Time 0 −10,000 −10,000 Time 1 5,000 4,000 Time 2 4,000 3,000 Time 3 3,000 10,000 If WiseGuy Inc. uses IRR rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
Answer:
PROJECT B
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
For project A,
Cash flow in year 0 = -10,000
cash flow in year 1 = 5,000
cash flow i year 2 - 4,000
cash flow in year 3 = 3,000
IRR = 10.65%
For project B,
Cash flow in year 0 = -10,000
cash flow in year 1 = 4,000
cash flow i year 2 - 3,000
cash flow in year 3 = 10,000
IRR = 26.37%
Project B would be ranked higher because it has a higher IRR
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button
