Answer:
(a) Compute the break-even point in dollars for 2017. (Round final answer to 0 decimal places.)
total variable costs per unit = $1,750,000 / 500,000 = $3.50
sales price per unit = $2,500,000 / 500,000 = $5
contribution margin per unit = $5 - $3.50 = $1.50
total fixed costs = $850,000
break even point in units = $850,000 / $1.50 = 566,667 units
break even point in $ = 566,667 units x $5 = $2,833,335
(b) Compute the contribution margin under each of the alternative courses of action.
alternative 1) $6 - $3.50 = $2.50
alternative 2) $5 - $3.75 = $1.25
(c) Compute the break-even point in dollars under each of the alternative courses of action. (Round selling price per unit to 2 decimal places and other calculations to 0 decimal places.)
alternative 1:
break even point in units = $850,000 / $2.50 = 340,000 units
break even point in $ = 340,000 units x $6 = $2,040,000
alternative 2:
break even point in units = $760,000 / $1.25 = 608,000 units
break even point in $ = 608,000 units x $5 = $3,040,000
Which course of action do you recommend?
If I had to choose between alternative 1 or 2, I would choose alternative 1.
McCurdy Co.'s Class Q bonds have a 12-year maturity, $1,000 par value, and a 5.75% coupon paid semiannually (2.875% each 6 months), and those bonds sell at their par value. McCurdy's Class P bonds have the same risk, maturity, and par value, but the P bonds pay a 5.75% annual coupon. Neither bond is callable. At what price should the annual payment bond sell
Answer:
$993.08
Explanation:
the market interest is 2.875% semiannual, that is why Q bonds are sold at par. To determine the value of P bonds we must add the present value of the face value and the coupon payments:
the effective interest rate = (1 + 5.75%/2)² - 1 = 5.83%
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 5.83%)¹² = $1,000 / 1.974405523 = $506.48
PV of coupon payments = $57.50 x 8.46254 (PV annuity factor, 5.83%, 112 periods) = $486.60
market price = $993.08

Explanation:
A monopoly produces widgets at a marginal cost of $10 per unit and zero fixed costs. It faces an inverse demand function given by P = 50 - Q. What are the profits of the monopoly in equilibrium
A. $300.B. $400.C. $500.D. $600.
Answer: B. $400
Explanation:
Profit is maximised at point where Marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
The Marginal revenue curve is below the demand curve for a monopolist and is double slopped compared to an inverse demand curve.
The expression for the Marginal Revenue is therefore;
MR = 50 - 2Q
MR = MC
50 - 2Q = 10
2Q = 50 - 10
2Q = 40
Q = 20
P = 50 - Q
=50 - 20
= $30
Total revenue = P * Q
= 30 * 20
= $600
Total cost.
= AC * Q
MC is given as a fixed number so can be considered as Average Cost
= 10 * 20
= $200
Profit = TR - TC
= 600 - 200
= $400
Based on the information given the profits of the monopoly in equilibrium
is: B. $400.
Given:
Marginal cost = $10 per unit
Fixed costs=0
P = 50 - Q
Hence:
MR = 50 - 2Q
MR = MC
50 - 2Q = 10
2Q = 50 - 10
2Q = 40
Q = 20
P = 50 - Q
P=50 - 20
P= $30
Total revenue = 30×20
Total revenue = $600
Total cost= 10 × 20
Total cost= $200
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Profit= 600 - 200
Profit= $400
Inconclusion the profits of the monopoly in equilibrium is: B. $400.

= 26,666.67
Hence the present value is 26,666.67
Imagine that you are holding 5,000 shares of stock, currently selling at $40 per share. You are ready to sell the shares but would prefer to put off the sale until next year for tax reasons. If you continue to hold the shares until January, however, you face the risk that the stock will drop in value before year-end. You decide to use a collar to limit downside risk without laying out a good deal of additional funds. January call options with a strike of $45 are selling at $2, and January puts with a strike price of $35 are selling at $3.
1. What will be the value of your portfolio in January (net of the proceeds from the options) if the stock price ends up at:

2. Compare these proceeds to what you would realize if you simply continued to hold the shares.
if you hold the stocks:
(a) $30 ⇒ $150,000 - $170,000 = -$20,000 (you gain by using a collar)
(b) $40 ⇒ $200,000 - $195,000 = $5,000 (you lose by using a collar)
(c) $50 ⇒ $250,000 - $220,000 = $30,000 (you lose by using a collar)

Currently Ark is charged $3,144,267 Depreciation on the Income Statement of Andrews. Andrews is planning for an increase in this depreciation. On the financial statements of Andrews will this
Question Completion:
A)Have no impact on the Net Cash from Operations as depreciation appears in both the Cash Flow and the Income Statement
B)Decrease Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement
C)Increase Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement
D)Just impact the balance sheet
Answer:
C)Increase Net Cash from Operations on the Cash Flow Statement
Explanation:
When Andrews increases the depreciation charge of $3,144,267 to a higher amount, this will decrease the net operating income. In computing the adjustment to net income for non-cash expenses, the increased depreciation will automatically increase the net cash from operations because of the tradeoff effects. So, on the financial statements of Andrews, specifically on the Statement of Cash Flows, the increased depreciation expense or charge will positively increase the net cash from operating activities.
If a nation has a higher level of technology than another nation it means that they will be able to produce:
Answer: b. more outputs with the same inputs.
Explanation:
Better technology means that labor will be more efficient in the production of goods and services. A country with a higher level of technology therefore will be more efficient in production than a country that is not and this will lead to them producing more output with the same input than the other country.
For instance, a country with technology that is able to reduce the wastage of wood will produce more furniture than a country without that technology.

Last year Electric Autos had sales of $175 million and assets at the start of the year of $300 million. If its return on start-of-year assets was 15%, what was its operating profit margin? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places)
Answer:
Operating profit margin = 25.71%
Explanation:
Amount of return on asset = Rate of return x Asset value
Amount of return on asset = 15% x $300,000,000
Amount of return on asset = $45,000,000
Operating profit margin = Amount of return on asset / Sales
Operating profit margin = $45,000,000 / $175,000,000
Operating profit margin = 0.257143
Operating profit margin = 25.71%
If you wish to have $60,000 in 8 years, how much do you need to deposit in the bank today if the account pays an interest rate of 9%
Answer:
PV= $30,111.98
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $60,000
Number of periods= 8
Interest rate= 9%
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Isolating PV:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 60,000 / 1.09^8
PV= 30,111.98

CoffeeCarts has a cost of equity of , has an effective cost of debt of , and is financed with equity and with debt. What is this firm's WACC?
Complete Question:
Coffee Carts has a cost of equity of 15.5%, has an effective cost of debt of 3.9%, and is financed 75% with equity and 25% with debt. What is the firm's WACC?
Answer:
The firm's WACC is:
= (0.75 * 0.155) + (0.25 * 0.039)
= 0.11625 + 0.00975
= 0.126
= 12.6%
Explanation:
CoffeeCarts Company's WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the average rate that the company is expected to pay to all its security holders (stockholders and debt holders) who financed its assets. We can calculate CoffeeCarts' WACC by multiplying the cost of each capital source (equity and debt) by its relevant weight, and then adding the products together. The weight is the proportional percentage of each class of finance source to the whole.
In most situations, the UCC uses the test of _____ for determining when a person is excused from performing contractual obligations.
Answer:
commercial impracticability.
Explanation:
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a set of comprehensive, codified, and modernized business laws that regulate commercial transactions and financial contracts across different state in the United States of America.
The U.C.C isn't a federal law, but a uniformly adopted state law with the sole aim and purpose to create uniformity of law across multiple court jurisdictions in the United States of America. It is called the backbone of American commerce because it has been adopted by all 50 states, in whole or in large part and thus, enhancing commercial transactions or business to thrive significantly.
In most situations, the uniform commercial code (UCC) uses the test of commercial impracticability for determining when a person is excused from performing contractual obligations.
Commercial impracticability can be defined as the inability to perform a contractual obligation or act based on terms that are considered to be reasonable in commerce.
Additionally, the cause of this inability to perform are typically unforseen or unanticipated.
Pestiferous Manufacturing produces a chemical pesticide and uses process costing. There are three processing departmentslong dashMixing, Refining, and Packaging. On January 1, the first departmentlong dashMixinglong dashhad no beginning inventory. During January, 47,000 fl. oz. of chemicals were started in production. Of these, 38,000 fl. oz. were completed, and 9,000 fl. oz. remained in process. In the Mixing Department, all direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process, and conversion costs are applied evenly throughout the process. At the end of January, the equivalent unit data for the Mixing Department were as follows: UNITS Equivalent Units Equivalent Units Units to be accounted for Direct Materials Costs Conversion Costs Completed and transferred out 38,000 38,000 38,000 Ending workminusinminusprocess* 9,000 9,000 3,960 47,000 47,000 41,960 * Percent complete for conversion costs: 44% In addition to the above, the cost per equivalent unit were $ 1.35 for direct materials and $ 5.20 for conversion costs. Using this data, calculate the full cost of the ending WIP balance in the Mixing Department. The weightedminusaverage method is used.
A. $ 63,450
B. $ 41,960
C. $ 32,742
D. $ 12,150
Answer:
C. $ 32,742
Explanation:
The cost per equivalent unit were $ 1.35 for direct materials and $ 5.20 for conversion costs.
The Ending Work In Process has Equivalent Units 9000 complete as to materials and 44% complete as to Conversion Costs.
So the costs will be
Materials = 9000 *100% * $ 1.35 = $ 12150
Conversion = 9000 * 44% * 5.20 = $ 20592
Total Costs $ 32742
The Ending Work in Process costs are found by multiplying the unit costs with the Equivalent number of units multiplied with the percentage of completion.
Which of the following is not a potential problem when estimating and using betas, i.e., which statement is false?
A. The beta of an "average stock," or "the market," can change over time, sometimes drastically.
B. Sometimes, during a period when the company is undergoing a change such as toward more leverage or riskier assets, the calculated beta will be drastically different from the "true" or "expected future" beta.
C. The beta coefficient of a stock is normally found by regressing past returns on a stock against past market returns. This calculated historical beta may differ from the beta that exists in the future.
D. The fact that a security or project may not have a past history that can be used as the basis for calculating beta.
E. Sometimes the past data used to calculate beta do not reflect the likely risk of the firm for the future because conditions have changed.
Answer:
a.) The beta of an "average stock," or "the market," can change over time, sometimes drastically.
Explanation:
Estimation using betas in finance can be associated to the (CAMP) Capital Asset Pricing Model, it allows the calculation of volatility of the stock in relation to the market.
It should be noted that there are potential problems that can be experienced when estimating and using betas, and these are;
1) Sometimes, during a period when the company is undergoing a change such as toward more leverage or riskier assets, the calculated beta will be drastically different from the "true" or "expected future" beta.
2)The beta coefficient of a stock is normally found by regressing past returns on a stock against past market returns. This calculated historical beta may differ from the beta that exists in the future.
3)The fact that a security or project may not have a past history that can be used as the basis for calculating beta.
4) Sometimes the past data used to calculate beta do not reflect the likely risk of the firm for the future because conditions have changed.
Hence among the given option, option A is false.

Answer:
At the end of the year, the company's equity totaled: $25,000
Explanation:
The company earned $35,000 of revenues and incurred $23,000 of expenses.
Net income = Revenue - Expenses = $35,000 - $23,000 = $12,000
Retained earnings of the company = Net income - Cash dividend = $12,000 - $2,000 = $10,000
At the end of the year, the company's equity = Anthony Lupa's invested + Retained earnings = $15,000 + $10,000 = $25,000
Which of the following statements regarding early termination of a forward contract is most accurate?
A. Early termination through an offsetting transaction with the original counterparty eliminates default risk.
B. A party who terminates a forward contract early must make a cash payment.
C. A party who enters into an offsetting contract to terminate has no risk.
Answer: A. Early termination through an offsetting transaction with the original counterparty eliminates default risk.
Explanation:
A Forward contract is an agreement between two parties that obligates one party buying the asset that the seller will sell at a certain price and at a certain point in future.
If the contract is terminated early but there is an offsetting transaction which mirrors the contract obligation then that means that the obligation has been settled and so the default risk which is the risk that one party was not going to fulfil their obligation will be eliminated.
After receiving a reward for information leading to the arrest of a notorious criminal, you are considering investing it in an annuity that pays $5,000 at the end of each year for 20 years. You could earn 5% on your money in other investments with equal risk. What is the most you should pay for the annuity
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for this annuity today is $62311.05
Explanation:
To calculate the maximum that should be paid for the annuity, we will calculate the present value of annuity. As the cash flow from annuity occur at the end of the period, it is an ordinary annuity. The formula for the present value of ordinary annuity is attached.
Present value = 5000 * [ 1 - (1+0.05)^-20 / 0.05 ]
Present value = $62311.05171 rounded off to $62311.05

Answer:
1. Microeconomics
2. Macroeconomics
3. Macroeconomics
4. Macroeconomics
5. Microeconomics
6. Microeconomics
Explanation:
Macroeconomics can be described as the study of the behavior of an overall economy. Macroeconomics studies issues that are related to the whole economy such as changes in unemployment, economic growth rate, national income, inflation, price levels, and gross domestic product (GDP).
On the other hand, Microeconomics can be described as the behavior of economic agents such as individuals and firms as regards their decision making relating the scarce resources allocation and the interactions among the economic agents.
Based on the above explanation, we can have the following categorizations:
1. A tax on tires increases the price of tires paid by car owners. This is Microeconomics because it concerns the behavior of individuals, i.e., car owners.
2. As a result of a severe recession, the total output gross domestic product of a nation falls by 4%.. This Macroeconomics because it concerns the gross domestic product which total values of goods produced in an economy.
3. Increased consumer spending causes the national unemployment rate to fall. This is Macroeconomics because it relates the national unemployment.
4. Increased consumer spending causes the rate of rate of inflation to rise. This is Macroeconomics because it relates an increase in inflation rate.
5. Optimism about future car sales leads General Motors to hire more auto workers. This is Microeconomics because it relates to the decision and action of a firm, i.e. General Motors.
6. Robotic technology reduces the demand for auto workers.This is Microeconomics because it relates to the decision and action of individuals, i.e. auto workers.
Based on the definitions of microeconomics and macroeconomics, the statements below fall under:
Macroeconomics:
2. As a result of a severe recession, the total output gross domestic product of a nation falls by 4%. 3. Increased consumer spending causes the national unemployment rate to fall. 4. Increased consumer spending causes the rate of inflation to riseMicroeconomics:
1. A tax on tires increases the price of tires paid by car owners.5. Optimism about future car sales leads General Motors to hire more auto workers.6. Robotic technology reduces the demand for auto workers.Macroeconomics relates to issues that affects the economy as a whole as opposed to a single industry or firm. A decrease in GDP, issues regarding national unemployment and inflation rising are therefore macroeconomic as they affect the entire economy.
Microeconomics on the other hand, relates to issues affecting an industry or only a single entity. This is why the other entries are microeconomics as they relate to a single industry.

Machida Inc. is considering a project that is expected to produce cash inflows of $3,200 per year in years 1-4, with a final cash inflow of $5,700 in year 5. The project's initial cost is $9,800 and Machida's discount rate is 17 percent. Should Machida accept the project
Answer:
The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project. If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Cost
Where,
CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on. r is the required rate of return
NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17) + 3200 (1+0.17)^2 + 3200 (1+0.17)^3 +
3200 (1+0.17)^4 + 5700 (1+0.17)^5 - 9800
NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19

Answer:
variability
Explanation:
When a worker is performing a task, he or she might come across a situation that is not expected or a situation not experienced before. Task variability enables the prediction of certain tasks, especially where those task are standardized and repetition of such reduces task variability.
Also, any exceptions experienced when carrying out a duty either in a new situation or at any stage in the value creation process, such would eventually make task variability high. In other words, take variability refers to the numbers of exceptions, a worker experienced when carrying out a duty.
