Vernon Boat Company makes inexpensive aluminum fishing boats. Production is seasonal, with considerable activity occurring in the spring and summer. Sales and production tend to decline in the fall and winter months. During year 2, the high point in activity occurred in June when it produced 209 boats at a total cost of $154,800. The low point in production occurred in January when it produced 31 boats at a total cost of $48,000. Required Use the high-low method to estimate the amount of fixed cost incurred each month by Vernon Boat Company. Determine the total estimated cost if 110 boats are made.

Answer:

Total cost= $95,400

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the unitary and fixed costs using the high-low method:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (154,800 - 48,000) / (209 - 31)

Variable cost per unit= $600

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 154,800 - (600*209)

Fixed costs= $29,400

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 48,000 - (600*31)

Fixed costs= $29,400

Now, the total cost for 110 boats:

Total cost= 29,400 + 110*600

Total cost= $95,400

In March 2010, Hertz Pain Relievers bought a massage machine that provided a return of 8 percent. It was financed by debt costing 7 percent. In August, Mr. Hertz came up with a heating compound that would have a return of 14 percent. The chief financial officer, Mr. Smith, told him it was impractical because it would require the issuance of common stock at a cost of 16 percent to finance the pur-chase. Is the company following a logical approach to using its cost of capital?

Bond A pays $8,000 in 20 years. Bond B pays $8,000 in 40 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, which means the $8,000 is the only payment the bondholder receives.)

Required:
a. If the interest rate is 3.5 percent, what is the value of each bond today? Which bond is worth more? Why? (Hint: You can use a calculator, but the rule of 70 should make the calculation easy.)
b. If the interest rate increases to 7 percent, what is the value of each bond? Which bond has a larger percentage change in value?
