An airplane is about to leave the jetway and take off with 50 empty seats. The regular coach fare is $400 for a seat, and the marginal cost of carrying an extra passenger is $30. Forty standby passengers are hoping to get on the flight. If 10 of those seats can be filled for $200, 25 seats can be filled for $100, and 40 seats can be filled at $40, what is the socially optimal fare to charge standby passengers waiting to fill those seats

Answers

Answer:

the ariplane should sell the tickets at $100

Explanation:

the socially optimal fare maximizes the sum of consumer and supplier surplus:

total surplus at $200 = ($200 - $30) x 10 = $1,700

total surplus at $100 = ($100 - $30) x 25 = $1,750

total surplus at $40 = ($40 - $30) x 40 = $400

The treasury shares were acquired by Coronado at a cost of $45 per share, and are accounted for under the cost method. On the date of the exchange, the common stock had a fair value of $60 per share (the shares were originally issued at $35 per share). As a result of this exchange, Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by

Answers

Answer:

$2,880,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by

Increase in total stockholders' equity =[(48000*45)-(48000 * (60-45))]

Increase in total stockholders' equity =$2,160,000+$720,000

Increase in total stockholders' equity =$2,880,000

Therefore the total stockholders' equity will increase by $2,880,000

On January 2, 2013 Dyson purchased a utility patent for a new consumer product and paid $180,000. At the time of purchase the patent was valid for 15 years. However the patents useful life was estimated to be only 10 years due to the competitive nature of the product with no residual value. On December 31, 2016, the product was permanently withdrawn from sale under government order because of a potential health hazard. Thus no future positive cash flows will result from use of the patent and its fair value is zero. What amount should Dyson charge against income in 2016 assuming straight-line amortization is appropriately recorded at the end of each year

Answers

Answer:

Dyson

The amount that Dyson should charge against the income in 2016 is:

= $126,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase price of a utility patent on January 2, 2013 = $180,000

Estimated useful life = 10 years

Residual value = $0

Amortization amount = $180,000

Annual amortization expense = $18,000

Accumulated Amortization from 2013 to Dec. 2015 (3 years) = $54,000 ($18,000 * 3)

Remaining book value = $126,000 ($180,000 - $54,000)

b) The amount that Dyson should charge against the income in 2016 is $126,000.  This amount write-off the remaining value of the patent since it is no longer in use.

A plant manager wants to know how much she should be willing to pay for perfect market research. Currently there are two states of nature facing her decision to expand or do nothing. Under favorable market conditions the manager would make $100,000 for the large plant and $5,000 for the small plant. Under unfavorable market conditions the large plant would lose $80,000 and the small plant would make $0. If the two states of nature are equally likely, how much should she pay for perfect information

Answers

Answer:

She should pay $25,000 for perfect information.

Explanation:

Since it is assumed that the two states of nature are equally likely, we therefore have:

P1 = Probability favorable market condition = 50%, or 0.5

P2 = Probability of unfavorable market condition = 50%, or 0.5

For large plant, we have:

Amount to make under favorable market condition = $100,000

Amount to make unfavorable market condition = -$50,000

Therefore, we have:

Expected value of the amount to make from large plant = (P1 * $100,000) + (P2 * (-$50,000)) = (0.5 * $100,000) + (0.5 * (-$50,000)) = $25,000

For small plant, we have:

Amount to make under favorable market condition = $5,000

Amount to make unfavorable market condition = $0

Therefore, we have:

Expected value of the amount to make from small plant = (P1 * $5,000) + (P2 * $0) = (0.5 * $5,000) + (0.5 * $0) = $2,500

Decision

Expected value of the amount to make from large plant = $25,000

Expected value of the amount to make from small plant = $2,500

Since the expected value of the amount to make from large plant of $25,000 is larger than the expected value of the amount to make from small plant of $2,500, this implies that the maximum the plant manager can make is $25,000.

Therefore, she should pay $25,000 for perfect information.

The materials quantity variance for November is:

Answers

Answer:

the  materials quantity variance for November is $3,880 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the  materials quantity variance for November is shown below:

As we know that

Material Quantity variance is

= Standard Price × (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity)

= $4 × (28,710 - (7,300 units × $3.8 per pound))

= $4 × (28,710 - 27,740)

= $3,880 unfavorable

hence, the  materials quantity variance for November is $3,880 unfavorable

Explanation:

When price is $5 per unit, quantity demanded is 12 units. When price is $8 per unit, quantity demanded is 6 units. The value of the price elasticity of demand is approximately (before taking absolute value by employing midpoint method) Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

-13 ÷ 9

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand is given below:

As we know that

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price

So,

% change in quantity demanded is

= (6 units - 12 units) ÷ (6 units + 12 units) ÷ 2

= -6 units ÷ 9 units

= -2 ÷ 3

And,

% change in the price is

= ($8 - $5) ÷ ($8 + $5) ÷ 2

= $3 ÷ $6.5

Now the price elasticity of demand is

= ( -2 ÷ 3 ) ÷ (3 ÷ 6.5)

= -13 ÷ 9

Net income $enter a net income if the variable costs are reduced to 56% of sales 3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000. Net income $enter a net income if the fixed costs are reduced by $18,000

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given selling price per unit = $300,000/5,000 units = $60

1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume

Selling price = $60 × 1.1 = $66

Sales revenue = $66 × 5,000 units = $330,000

Increase in sales revenue = $330,000 - $300,000 = $30,000

Here, as costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,000

2. Reduce variable cost to 56% of sales

New variable cost = $330,000 × 56% = $184,800

Saving in variable cost = $223,000 - $184,800 = $38,200

Here, as the fixed cost and sales revenue remains the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $38,200

3. Reduce fixed cost by $18,000

As the variable cost and sales revenue remains the same, net income will increase as much as the savings in fixed cost which is $18,000

You own a portfolio that has $1,600 invested in Stock A and $2,700 invested in Stock B. Assume the expected returns on these stocks are 11 percent and 17 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio

Answers

Answer:

the expected return on the portfolio is 14.77%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:

MacKenzie Company sold $680 of merchandise to a customer who used a Regional Bank credit card. Regional Bank deducts a 4.0% service charge for sales on its credit cards. MacKenzie electronically remits the credit card sales receipts to the credit card company and receives payment immediately. The journal entry to record this sale transaction would be:

Answers

Answer:

Total Sales value = $680

Service charge percentage = 4%

Credit card expenses = Total Sales Value * Service Charge percentage = $680 * 4% = $27.20

Maxwell Machining is considering investing $100,000 in a new piece of machinery that will generate net annual cash flows of $50,000 each year for the next 5 years. The machine has a salvage value of $20,000 at the end of its 5 year useful life. Maxwell's cost of capital and discount rate is 10%. Which of the following tables and criteria should we use to discount the net annual cash flow?
a. PV of annuity table, n=5, i=10%
b. PV of a single sum table, n=5, i=10%
c. PV of a single sum table, n=1, i=10%
d. PV of annuity table, n=1, i=10%

Answers

Answer:

Option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An annuity is a series of payments that are fixed in value, occur after equal intervals of time and are for a finite or limited time period. To calculate the present value of an annuity, we use the annuity table for discount rates.

In the provided question, the cash flows from machine are in the form of an annuity as the amount of cash flows is fixed at $50000, they occur each year which means after equal intervals of time and they are for a finite time period as it is mentioned that the cash flows will occur for 5 years. Thus, it qualifies as an annuity and the number of discounting period is 5 years or 5. The discount rate that will be used is provided as 10%. Thus, the Present value of this annuity can be calculated as,

PV of annuity table = n = 5, i = 10%

The table and criteria to use to discount the net annual cash flow is PV of annuity table, n=5, i=10%.

An annuity is a financial product that pays the benefactor a stream of income over a period of time. The cash flows from this machine can be considered an annuity because it generates a cash flow for a period of five years. Thus, the annuity table would be used.

The appropriate discount rate to use is the cost of capital of the project. The discount rate is the minimum return of a project if it is going to profitable.

Compute the cost of goods manufactured.

Answers

Answer:

$358,150

Explanation:

Cost of goods manufactured is calculated in a Schedule of Manufacturing Costs as follows :

Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning Work In Process + Total Manufacturing Costs - Ending Work In Process

where,

Total Manufacturing Costs :

Materials used in product              $124,260

Depreciation on plant                     $69,650

Property taxes on plant                   $21,750

Labor costs of assembly-line        $120,570

Factory supplies used                     $25,810

Total                                               $362,040

therefore,

Cost of goods manufactured = $13,700 +   $362,040 - $17,590 = $358,150
