Solution :
Here,
[tex]$X_{iR}$[/tex] = the number of the barrels mixed i to manufacture the regular gasoline
[tex]$X_{iS}$[/tex] = the number of the barrels mixed i to manufacture the supreme gasoline.
The [tex]$\text{selling price}$[/tex] of each of the barrel of both gasoline is [tex]$\$ 21$[/tex] and [tex]$\$25$[/tex]. So the total [tex]$\text{selling price}$[/tex] of both types of gasoline is represented by :
[tex]$21 \times \sum X_{iR} +25 \times \sum X_{iS}$[/tex]
The cost prices of one barrel of the three types of input are 17.25, 1575 and 17.75.
So the total price is represented by :
[tex]$17.25 \times (X_{iR}+X_{iS})+15.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})$[/tex]
The company wants to increase the profit. So maximize objective function will be used.
Max Z = [tex]$(21. \times \sum X_{iR} +24 \times \sum X_{iS})-[17.25 \times (X_{iR}+X_{iS})+17.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})]$[/tex]The company has 150,000 barrels of input 1 available. So,
[tex]$X_{1R}+ X_{1S} \leq 150,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{2R}+ X_{2S} \leq 350,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{3R}+ X_{3S} \leq 300,000$[/tex]
The company got an order to sell 300,000 barrels of regular and 450,000 barrels of supreme gasoline. So,
[tex]$X_{1R}+X_{2R}+X_{3R} = 300,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{1S}+X_{2S}+X_{3S} = 450,000$[/tex]
The company wishes the regular gasoline to have octane number of at least 90. So,
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1R}+87 \times X_{2R} +10 \times X_{3R}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 90$[/tex]
The company wishes the supreme gasoline to have octane number of at least 97. So,
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1S}+87 \times X_{2S} +10 \times X_{3S}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 97$[/tex]
Formulating the LP model :
Max :
[tex]$[21 \times \sum X_{iR}+25 \times \sum X_{iS}]$[/tex] [tex]$-[17.25 \times (X_{1R}+X_{1S})+15.75 \times (X_{2R}+X_{2S})+17.75 \times (X_{3R}+X_{3S})]$[/tex]
Subject to :
[tex]$X_{1R}+ X_{1S} \leq 150,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{2R}+ X_{2S} \leq 350,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{3R}+ X_{3S} \leq 300,000$[/tex]
Also,
[tex]$X_{1R}+X_{2R}+X_{3R} = 300,000$[/tex]
[tex]$X_{1S}+X_{2S}+X_{3S} = 450,000$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1R}+87 \times X_{2R} +10 \times X_{3R}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 90$[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{100 \times X_{1S}+87 \times X_{2S} +10 \times X_{3S}}{\sum X_{iR}}\geq 97$[/tex]
Piechocki Corporation manufactures and sells a single product. The company uses units as the measure of activity in its budgets and performance reports. During May, the company budgeted for 6,100 units, but its actual level of activity was 6,050 units. The company has provided the following data concerning the formulas used in its budgeting and its actual results for May:
Data used in budgeting:
Fixed element per month Variable element per unit
Revenue - $32.60
Direct labor $0 $3.90
Direct materials 0 12.10
Manufacturing overhead 33,400 1.80
Selling and administrative expenses 28,300 0.40
Total expenses $61,700 $18.20
Actual results for May:
Revenue $200,564
Direct labor $22,786
Direct materials $73,824
Manufacturing overhead $43,922
Selling and administrative expenses $31,896
The direct labor in the planning budget for May would be closest to:_________
a. $23,010
b. $22,633
c. $22,786
d. $23,166
Answer:
$23,595
Explanation:
The computation of the direct labor in the planning budget is shown below:
Direct labor in planning budget is
= Actual level of Activity × Direct labor per unit
= 6,050 × $3.90
= $23,595
For calculating the direct labor in the planning budget we simply multiplied the actual activity level by the direct labor per unit

Inventory records for Dunbar Incorporated revealed the following:
Date Transaction Number Unit
of Units Cost
Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 550 $2.33
Apr. 20 Purchase 310 2.68
Dunbar sold 560 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be:__________.
a. $737.
b. $694.
c. $817.
d. $752.
Answer:
a. $737.
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory using weighted average cost is shown below:
But before that first determine the average cost per unit
= (Beginning cost + purchase cost) ÷ (Beginning units + purchased units)
= (550 × $2.33 + 310 × $2.68) ÷ (550 units + 310 units)
= ($1,281.5 + $830.8) ÷ (860 units)
= $2.46
Now the ending inventory is
= (860 units - 560 units) × $2.46
= $737
Litton Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 40,000 hours. The machine hours for the month of April for all of the jobs were 4,780. If the actual factory overhead totaled $141,800, determine the over- or underapplied amount for the month.
Answer:
Overapplied overhead= $7,575
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,250,000 / 40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $31.25 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 31.25*4,780
Allocated MOH= $149,375
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 141,800 - 149,375
Overapplied overhead= $7,575

Statute of frauds is used as a defense to a lawsuit and not as an offense. For example, S owns a lot that B wishes to purchase. They enter into a verbal contract whereby B will deliver $6,000 at noon on Friday to S, and S will provide B with the deed to the property. If either party breaches the contract for the sale of the real estate lot and is sued by the other party, the defendant may raise statute of frauds as a defense, saying that there is nothing in writing or signed by the defendant.
Required:
What is the result?
Answer:
Since both parties can breach the contract without fearing any penalty as a result of doing it, its execution will depend on the good will of both parties. It will also require a coordinated action where B hands out the money at the same time they are receiving the deed. If both things do not occur simultaneously, for example, S promises to deliver the deed the next day or B promises to pay the next day, they will not do it. For example, B pays the $5,000 and S decides to increase the price to $10,000. Or S gives the deed and B says that the agreed price was $1,000.

An investor purchased a "par bond" for $300 with the principal $300. Over n = 5 years the bond will pay 8% coupon annually. Find the IRR of the cash flow stream (also called Yield to Maturity).
Answer:
8%
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 with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = [tex]\frac{8}{100}[/tex] × $300 = $24
Cash flow in year 5 = $300 + 24 = $324
IRR = 8%
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.

Explanation:
For the coming year, Cleves Company anticipates a unit selling price of $100, a unit variable cost of $60, and fixed costs of $480,000.
Required:
1. Compute the anticipated break-even sales in units.
2. Compute the sales (units) required to realize a target profit of $240,000.
3. Construct a cost-volume-profit chart, assuming maximum sales of 20,000 units within the relevant range. From your chart, indicate whether each of the following sales levels would produce a profit, a loss, or break-even.
$1,200,000 SelectBreak-evenLossProfitItem 3
$1,000,000 SelectBreak-evenLossProfitItem 4
$800,000 SelectBreak-evenLossProfitItem 5
$400,000 SelectBreak-evenLossProfitItem 6
$200,000 SelectBreak-evenLossProfitItem 7
4. Determine the probable income (loss) from operations if sales total 16,000 units.
Solution :
1. The break even sales in units is given by :
Break even sales in units = [tex]$\frac{\text{fixed cost}}{\text{contribution per unit}}$[/tex]
Where, contribution per unit = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit
The anticipated break even sales in units of Cleaves company in the coming year is :
Break even sales in units = [tex]$\frac{480,000}{40}$[/tex]
Contribution per unit = $ 100 - $ 60
= $ 40
So the company anticipates its breakeven sales at 12,000 units.
2. In order tot earn profit the sales generated should overcome the breakeven point. The desired profit is $240,000, the sales required to earn the desired profit can be computed using the formula :
Desired sales in units = [tex]$\frac{\text{fixed cost + desired cost}}{\text{contribution per unit}}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{480,000+240,000}{40}$[/tex]
= 18,000 units
Thus, the sales in units required to earn a profit of $ 240,000 are 18,000 units.
3. The sales in excess of the breakeven point would yield a profit on the contrary the sales below the breakeven point would result in a loss.
In the given sales in dollar = breakeven sales in units x selling price per unit
= 12,000 x 100
= $ 1,200,000
∴ the sales above $1,200,000 would result in a profit whereas the sales below $1,200,000 would result in loss.
The cost volume profit chart below indicates the profit, loss, breakeven at different sales levels :
Sales levels Result
1,200,000 Breakeven
1,000,000 Loss
800,000 Loss
400,000 Loss
200,000 Loss
4. The income on sale of 16,000 units is computed below :
Particulars Amount is $
Sales 1,600,000
Less : variable cost 960,000
Contribution 640,000
Less : Fixed cost 480,000
Profit 160,000
The break-even sales in units are calculated as follows:
What is Break Even Point ?Breakeven unit sales =
In this case, contribution per unit equals selling price per unit minus variable cost per unit.
The Cleaves Company's estimated break-even unit sales for the upcoming year are:
Breakeven unit sales =
Contribution per unit equals $100 minus $60.
= $ 40
The business therefore projects 12,000 units as its breakeven sales.
(2) 2. Sales must exceed the breakeven point in order to create a profit. The sales needed to achieve the desired profit, which is $240,000, can be calculated using the formula:
Ideally, sales would equal
= 18,000 units
Thus, the sales in units required to earn a profit of $ 240,000 are 18,000 units.

Nancy, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into a city in the Northeast. She incurs $35,000 of expenses associated with this investigation. Based on the regulatory environment for hotels in the city, she decides not to expand. During the year, she also investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain. Her expenses for this are $53,000. The restaurant begins operations on September 1.
Determine the amount Nancy can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses.
Answer:
$3,133.
As regard to opening a restaurant, investigation expense = 53,000 - 2000 = $51,000.
Explanation:
Before diving straight into the solution to this problem, let's take out some of the parameters given in the question above.
=> Nancy incurs $35,000 of expenses associated with the investigation of the possibility of expanding the chain into a city in the Northeast.
=> Nancy expenses for investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain are $53,000.
The first thing to do right now is to determine the value for the investigation as regard to the opening of a restaurant = [ 2000 × (51,000/180 months) × 4] = $3,133.
The next thing is to determine the value for the deduction which is available. This can be done below as:
The amount Nancy can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses = 5000 - [ 53000 - 50000] = $2, 000
As regard to opening a restaurant, investigation expense = 53,000 - 2000 = $51,000.

LUVFINANCE, Inc. is estimating its WACC. It is operating at its optimal capital structure. Its outstanding bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 17 years, and sell for $1,162. It has 100,000 bonds outstanding. The firm can issue new 20-year maturity semiannual bonds at par but will incur flotation costs of $50 per bond. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12 percent annual dividend that is currently selling for $120. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Rollins' beta is 0.94, the risk-free rate is 3.72 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The common stock currently sells for $100 a share and there are 5,000,000 shares outstanding. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
Required:
What is the WACC?
Solution :
Given :
The cost of the debt is yield to the maturity of the bonds.
The yield on the bond is 10%
The tax rate is 40%
After the tax cost of the debt = 10 ( 1- 0.4 )
= 6 %
Add floatation cost at the rate of 5% = 11%
Cost of the preferred stock = [tex]$\frac{\text{dividend}}{\text{price}}$[/tex]
= [tex]$\frac{120}{12}$[/tex] = 10%
The cost of equity = risk free rate + β x market risk premium
= 3.72 + 0.94 x 6
= 9.36%
WACC is weighted average of the individual securities :
Particulars Value per No. of Market value Weight Cost of Product
security securities security
Bonds 1162 100,000 116,200,000 0.1578 11 1.73621298

Problem 8-15 Nonconstant Growth [LO1] Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 6 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 12 percent, what is the current share price
Answer:
$84.14
Explanation:
P9 = Nest dividend (D10) / Required rate (r) - Growth rate (g)
P9 = $14 / 12% - 6%
P9 = $14 / 0.06
P9 = $233.33
P0 = P9 / (1+Required rate of return)^9
P0 = $233.33/(1+0.12)^9
P0 = $233.33/2.7731
P0 = $84.1404926
P0 = $84.14
So, the current share price is $84.14
Answer the below case problem, giving the legal issue, the governing law and the rationale in support of your conclusion.
Arthur Jensen, Inc., was a corporation engaged in the housing construction business.
Arthur Jensen set up and was the sole owner and president of the corporation. Alaska Valuation Service [AVS] conducted housing appraisals for Jensen on numerous occasions over the years. When AVS took the orders for appraisals, it was not aware that it was dealing with a corporation. It believed that it was dealing directly with Jensen [i.e., as a sole proprietor]. Jensen never specifically informed AVS of his status as the president of Arthur Jensen, Inc. When AVS was not paid for appraisal services that it had performed, AVS sued Arthur Jensen, attempting to hold him personally liable for the unpaid appraisals.
Arthur Jensen argued that he could not be personally liable because he had acted on behalf of his corporation.
1. Decide the case based on the above stated facts.
2. Assuming Arthur Jensen could be held personally liable, how could Arthur
Jensen have better protected himself? [we discussed this in class]
Answer:
1. Decide the case based on the above stated facts.
Corporations provide limited liability to their owners, and one person corporations are legal in all states. Depending on how Arthur handled his business, the corporate veil might or not be lifted. If he separated the corporate account and managed the corporation separately for his other assets, then he is not liable.
On the other hand, if he paid the bills using his personal account, or used the corporation's assets as his own, then the outcome might change. We are not given enough details.
2. Assuming Arthur Jensen could be held personally liable, how could Arthur Jensen have better protected himself?
Simple, he should sign as the president of the corporation and pay using the corporation's account.
