Answer:
1.667
Explanation:
% Change in Quantity Demanded in units = (1650 - 1500 / 1500)*100 = (150/1500) * 100 = 10%
% Change in Price = [(1.06x-x)/x]*100 = (0.06/1)*100 = 6%
Cross-price elasticity of demand is given Ec = (% Change in Quantity Demanded of good / % Change in Price of good)
Cross-price elasticity of demand = 10% / 6%
Cross-price elasticity of demand = 0.10 / 0.06
Cross-price elasticity of demand = 1.6666666667
Cross-price elasticity of demand = 1.667
Therefore, the cross-price elasticity of demand of State Farm Auto Policies is 1.667.
You're prepared to make monthly payments of $310, beginning at the end of this month, into an account that pays 4 percent interest compounded monthly. How many payments will you have made when your account balance reaches $20,175
Answer:
59 Payments
Explanation:
Future value = $20,175
Monthly payment= $310
Interest rate= 4%/12 = 0.3333% per month
How many payments will you have made when your account balance reaches $20,175?
Now we use Ms Excel to calculate the number of payment
Number of payment = N(FV, -PMT, I/Y)
Number of payment = N(20,175 , -310 , 0.3333%)
Number of payment = 58.9989
Number of payment = 59.
You are the manager of two plants (factories) in Mexico that manufacture shoes. The combined monthly output of both plants is to be 10,000 pairs of shoes. Explain, based on your understanding , how you would best divide this output of 10,000 pairs of shoes between the two plants.
Answer:
Given that both factories together produce 10,000 pairs of shoes, and both carry out the entire production process of the same in an identical way, if I were the manager of the same, I would distribute the benefits of what is produced by both factories in the following way: 50% of them equally, 25% for each one; and the other 50% in proportion to what each one has actually produced. Thus, it would guarantee that both receive income and, at the same time, it would encourage production by the one that generated the most income.

Consider a firm with an EBIT of $11,400,000. The firm finances its assets with $51,800,000 debt (costing 7.4 percent) and 10,900,000 shares of stock selling at $8.00 per share. The firm is considering increasing its debt by $25,000,000, using the proceeds to buy back shares of stock. The firm is in the 30 percent tax bracket. The change in capital structure will have no effect on the operations of the firm. Thus, EBIT will remain at $11,400,000. Calculate the EPS before and after the change in capital structure and indicate changes in EPS. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares
EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares
Difference = $ 0.029
Explanation:
Calculation of EPS before the change in capital structure :
Particulars Amount
EBIT $ 11,400,000
Interest Cost $ 3,833,200 (51,800,000×7.4%)
Earning After Interest $ 7,566,800
Tax ( 30% ) $ 2,270,040
Net Profit after tax $ 5,296,760
Number of Shares outstanding $ 10,900,000
Earning Per Shares $0.486
Calculation of EPS after the change in capital structure :
Particulars Amount
EBIT $ 11,400,000
Interest Cost $ 5,683,200
( $ 76,800,000×7.4%)
Earning After Interest $ 5,716,800
Tax ( 30%) $ 1,715,040
Net Profit after tax $40,01,760
Number of Shares outstanding 77,75,000
Earning Per Shares $0.515
∴ we get
EPS Before the change in capital structure = $0.486 Per shares
EPS After the change in capital structure = $0.515 Per shares
Difference = $ 0.486 - 0.515 = $ 0.029

Bi-Lo Traders is considering a project that will produce sales of $44,800 and have costs of $25,700. Taxes will be $4,500 and the depreciation expense will be $2,650. An initial cash outlay of $2,100 is required for net working capital. What is the project's operating cash flow?
Answer:
$10,700
Explanation:
Operating cash flow is computed as;
= Net income + non cash expenses - outlay in working capital
First, we'll determine the net income
Net income = Sales $44,800 - cost $27,500 depreciation expense $2,650 - Taxes $4,500
Net income = $10,150
Operating cash flow = $10,150 + $2,650 - $2,100 = $10,700
At the beginning of the recent period, there were 1,230 units of product in a department, 35% completed. These units were finished and an additional 6,100 units were started and completed during the period. 1,240 units were still in process at the end of the period, 25% completed. Using the weighted average method, the equivalent units produced by the department were:
Answer:
7,640 units
Explanation:
Calculation for what the equivalent units produced by the department were Using the weighted average method
First step is to calculate the units Completed & transferred out
Completed & transferred out =6,100+1,230
Completed & transferred out=7,330
Second step is to calculate the EGIP
EGIP= (1,240*25%)
EGIP=310
Now let calculate the equivalent units produced by the department
Equivalent units produced=7,330+310
Equivalent units produced=7,640 units
Therefore Using the weighted average method, the equivalent units produced by the department were:7,640 units

Rossdale, Inc., had additions to retained earnings for the year just ended of $641,000. The firm paid out $50,000 in cash dividends, and it has ending total equity of $7.36 million.
1. If the company currently has 730,000 shares of common stock outstanding, what are:
a. Earnings per share?
b. Dividends per share?
c. Book value per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
2. lf he stock currently sells or $30.60 per share, what is:
a. the market-to-book ratio?
b. the price earnings ratio?
3. If total sales were $10.66 million, what is the price-sales ratio?
Answer:
1. a. Earnings per share:
= Total earnings / No. of shares
= (Addition to retained earnings + Dividends) / No. of shares
= (641,000 + 50,000) / 730,000
= $0.95
b. Dividends per share:
= Dividends / No. of shares
= 50,000 / 730,000
= $0.07
c. Book Value per share:
= Ending total equity / No. of shares
= 7,360,000 / 730,000
= $10.08
2. a. Market to book ratio
= Market price / Book value
= 30.60 / 10.08
= 3.06 times
b. Price - earnings ratio:
= Market price / Earnings per share
= 30.60 / 0.95
= 32.21 times
3. Price - sales ratio
= Market value of equity / Sales
= (30.60 * 730,000 shares) / 10,660,000
= 2.1 times

A. No, this cash flow falls short of paying off the credit card.
B. Yes, this cash flow exceeds the balance by $320.
C. Yes, this cash flow will pay off the credit card with $23.75 remaining.
D. No, this will only pay off $4,793.63 of the credit card.
Answer:
C. Yes, this cash flow will pay off the credit card with $23.75 remaining.

First step will be to use financial calculator to find the Net Present Value (NPV) of the payment amount from 1 month which is 500 to 8 month which is 850.
Hence,
NPV=$5,023.75
Now let calculate how much will be enough to pay off your credit card
Credit card pay off Amount =$5,023.75-$5,000
Credit card pay off Amount=$23.75
Therefore YES it will be enough to pay off the credit card and the amount that will be enough to pay off your credit card will be $23.75.

2. Until the middle of the last century, these countries were relatively poor. Beginning in the mid 1970s, real GDP per capita growth has averaged 6% per year. The growth was achieved in part because of high levels of investment spending in the development of human and physical capital and rapid technological progress.
3. In the early 1990s, this region was in the middle of substantial social and economic reform. Countries in this region have experienced variable growth rates, depending on their ability to adapt to the modern market economy.
4. In the early 20th century, this region was reasonably prosperous. Since that time, however, growth has stagnated, owing to government instability, banking failures, and runaway inflation. Recently, some countries in the region have begun to grow more consistently, with one country becoming a powerhouse of world economic development.

Using least-squares regression, estimate the variable cost per rental return and the monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars. (Round Fixed cost to the nearest whole dollar amount and the Varlable cost per unit to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. The variable cost per rental return is $4.04.
b. The monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars is $1,376.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Rental Returns (x), Car Wash Costs (y), xy, and x^2.
Since Σ = Total of or summation of, we can therefore obtain the following from the attached excel file:
Σx = 34,854
Σy = 157,317
Σxy = 462,541,971
Σx^2 = 102,623,516
N = Number of months = 12
a. calculation of variable cost per rental return
To calculate the variable cost per rental return, the following formula is used:
Variable cost per rental return = (NΣxy − ΣxΣy) /((NΣx²) − (Σx)²) ……………… (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
Variable cost per rental return = ((12 * 462,541,971) - (34,854 * 157,317)) / (((12 * 102,623,516) - 34,854^2)
Variable cost per rental return = 4.03917240317595
Rounding to 2 decimal places as required, we have:
Variable cost per rental return = $4.04
Therefore, the variable cost per rental return is $4.04.
b. Calculation of monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars
To calculate the monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars, the following formula is used:
Fixed Cost per month = {Σy - (Variable cost per rental return * Σx) / N ....... (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:
Fixed Cost per month = (157,317 - (4.04 * 34,854)) / 12
Fixed Cost per month = $1,375.57
Rounding to the nearest whole dollar amount as required, we have:
Fixed Cost per month = $1,376
Therefore, the monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars is $1,376.
The variable cost per rental return is $4.04 and the fixed cost per month is $1378.
The following can be depicted from the question
Σx = 34,854
Σy = 157,317
Σxy = 462,541,971
Σx² = 102,623,516
N = number of months = 12
Variable cost per rental return will be:
= ( N Σxy − Σx Σy)/{(N Σx²) − (Σx)²}
= {( 12 × 462,541,971) - (34,854 × 157,317) } / {(12 ×102,623,516) - (34,854)²}
= (5,550,503,652 - 5,483,126,718) / (1231482192 - 1214801316)
= 67,376,934 / 16680876
= $4.04
Fixed Cost per month will be:
= {Σy - ( Variable cost per rental return × Σx )/N
= {157,317 - (4.04 × 34,854)} /12
= ( 157,317 - 140,810.16) /12
= $1378

Treasury Stock Facts Target Inc. arranged to purchase a large block of its common stock from a major shareholder. The total number of shares purchased is 10,000 and these shares are to be held as treasury shares. Target Inc. uses the cost method to account for treasury shares. This shareholder had a controlling interest before the transaction. After the transaction this shareholder no longer has a controlling interest. Given these facts, to induce the shareholder to sell the block of stock Target Inc. was forced to pay an amount in excess of the current market price of the stock. Target Inc. paid the shareholder $40 per share when the market price was $30 per share.Question How should Target Inc. account for the purchase of this treasury stock?a. Provide a brief written description of the proper accounting treatment, including how the extra $10 paid per share is recorded.b. Prepare a formal journal entry to record the treasury stock transaction.c. Identify the specific paragraph of the FASB Codification which addresses this issue.
Answer:
Target Inc.
a. Under the cost method, as adopted by Target Inc., the cost of acquiring the treasury stock is debited to the Treasury Stock account and credited to the Cash account. This means that there is no differentiation of the extra $10 just as there is no differentiation between the par-value and the cost of acquiring each share.
b. Journal Entry:
Debit Treasury Stock $40,000
Credit Cash $40,000
To record the repurchase of 10,000 shares at $40 each.
c. The FASB Codification which addresses Treasury Stock accounting is called Codification Topic 505-30. The cost of treasury stock is reported separately from the gain or loss.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total number of shares purchased = 10,000
Price paid for the purchase = $40
Market price of the share = $30
Extra cost paid = $10
b) Two methods are adopted for recording treasury stock. There is the par-value method. This method records the treasury stock at the par value multiplied by the number of treasury stock. The difference in the purchase cost and the par-value is then recorded in the Additional Paid-in Capital account. The other method is the cost method. Here, the cost of acquiring the treasury stock (not the par-value) is recorded in the Treasury Stock account, with a credit entry to the Cash account. Treasury Stock account is a contrary account to the stockholders' equity, and as a result, is a deduction from the amounts in the Stockholders' Equity in the balance sheet, in both cases.

Answer:
$1,800,000
Explanation:
Calculation for what Sheridan Company's cost of goods manufactured for the year is
First step is to calculate Direct material used
Direct material used = 300,000 + 950,000 - 480,000
Direct material used= 770,000
Now let calculate cost of goods manufactured for the year using this formula
Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year= Direct Material Used + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead + Opening Work - Closing Work
Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year= 770,000 + 850,000 + 820,000 + 1,080,000 - 900,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year= $1,800,000
Therefore Sheridan Company's cost of goods manufactured for the year is $1,800,000
