Using the high-low method, estimate the cost formula for shipping expense.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Shipping= 300x

x= number of shipments

Explanation:

To calculate the fixed and variable costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:

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

Variable cost per unit= (2,700 - 600) / (9 - 2)

Variable cost per unit= $300

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

Fixed costs= 2,700 - (300*9)

Fixed costs= 0

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

Fixed costs= 600 - (300*2)

Fixed costs= 0

Shipping is a variable cost.

Shipping= 300x

x= number of shipments

Auto Shoppe is considering the purchase of a new engine computer code reader for $30,000. Auto Shoppe can charge $50 for the service of reading the codes from a single car engine, while the actual cost of the reading would only be $10 per car engine. Suppose that the manager of Auto Shoppe is concerned about this purchase, and has stated that if Auto Shoppe were to buy the new engine computer code reader, "..the machine needs to pay for itself by the time we use it to read the codes of 200 car engines." The manager says this is because, "…those sorts of engine computer code readers go out of date very quickly, so if we don’t get our money back soon, we will probably just wind up replacing the machine before it ever breaks even." What would Auto Shoppe need to charge for the service of reading each car engine, to just break-even when it reads the codes from 200 car engines?

Answers

Answer:

Auto Shoppe

For Auto Shoppe to just break-even when it reads the codes from 200 car engines, it would charge $160 for the service of reading each car engine.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed cost of new engine computer code reader = $30,000

Service charge for reading the code from a single car engine = $50

Variable cost of reading per car engine = $10

Number of engines to read their codes = 200

To break-even, total costs must equal total revenue

Total costs = Fixed costs + Variable costs

= $30,000 + $10 * 200

= $32,000

Therefore, revenue should be equal to $32,000

The amount to charge in order to break-even is:

= $160 ($32,000/200)

b) This implies that to break-even at $50 selling price, the number of engines should be increased to 750 ($30,000/$40).  This is because the contribution margin per unit = $40 ($50 - $10) and the fixed costs = $30,000.

Answers

Answer:

$2,600,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods manufactured

Consider all the manufacturing costs in the calculation to determine the cost of goods manufactured.

Cost of goods manufactured = $1,080,000  + $780,000 + $910,000 + $730,000 - $900,000

                                                  = $2,600,000

Notes :

Raw Materials used in Production = $300,000 + $960,000 - $480,000

                                                           = $780,000

therefore,

Bramble Corp.'s cost of goods manufactured for the year is $2,600,000.

A bank offers a corporate client a choice between borrowing cash at 11% per annum and borrowing gold at 2% per annum. (If gold is borrowed, interest must be repaid in gold. Thus, 100 ounces borrowed today would require 102 ounces to be repaid in 1 year.) The risk-free interest rate is 9.25% per annum, and storage costs are 0.5% per annum. Discuss whether the rate of interest on the gold loan is too high or too low in relation to the rate of interest on the cash loan. The interest rates on the two loans are expressed with annual compounding. The risk-free interest rate and storage costs are expressed with continuous compounding.

Answers

Answer:

The rate of interest on the gold loan is too high in relation to the rate of interest on the cash loan.

Explanation:

Let first assume that the price of gold is $550 and the amount that the corporate client wants to borrow is $550,000.

This implies there is an option for the client to choose between borrowing $550,000 in cash and borrowing 1,000 ounces of gold.

If $550,000 borrowed in cash, the amount that must be repaid can be calculated as follows:

Amount to repaid if borrowed in cash = Amount of cash borrowed * (100% + Interest rate on cash borrowing)^Number of years = $550,000 * (100% + 11%)^1 = $610,500

If the client borrows 1,000 ounces of gold it must repay 1,020 ounces.

The forward price of gold is calculated as follows:

Forward price of gold = Price of gold * e^(Risk-free interest rate - storage costs) = $550 * e^(9.25% + 0.5%) = $606.33

Cost of repayment of gold loan = Forward price of gold * Ounces of gold to repay = $606.33 * 1,020 = $618,457

Since Amount to repaid if borrowed in cash is less than Cost of repayment of gold loan (i.e. $610,500 < $618,457), this implies that the rate of interest on the gold loan is too high in relation to the rate of interest on the cash loan.

Sound Software estimates that it will sell LaTeX: NN units of a program after spending LaTeX: aa thousands of dollars on advertising, where LaTeX: N\left(a\right)=-a^2+300a+6N ( a ) = − a 2 + 300 a + 6 when LaTeX: 0\le a\le3000 ≤ a ≤ 300. What is the maximum number of units that can be sold and how much need to be spent on advertising in order to achieve this sales goal?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

N(a) = -a² +300a + 6

Taking the differential of the above equation with respect to "a"

Then;

N'(a) = - 2a + 300

where;

the Critical points N'(a) = 0

-2a + 300 = 0

-2a = -300

a = -300/-2

a = 150

Now;

N(0) = -(0)² +300(0) + 6

N(150) = (-150)² +300(150) + 6 =22506

N(300) = (-300)² +300(300) + 6 = 6

The max. number of the possible unit that can be sold = 22506

The amount spent on advertising to get to this goal = 150 thousand dollars

Scenario: You are a CEO of well-established and profitable software technology firm that has a choice to invest in one of two new software technologies; one that promises modest profit with very little risk and another that may yield a very high profit but at considerable risk. Keeping in mind cultural factors (social values/priorities, politics, economy, technology, regulation, etc.) Answer the following: 1. What would your choice be? 2. Who in your company might support the first technology and who might support the second? 3. Think about individuals from all levels of the company, from the CEO and board members down to R&D personnel. What considerations of your decision need to be made from a societal perspective? 4. Consider individuals outside of the company itself. How might the type of industry affect this type of decision?

Answers

Answer:

1. What would your choice be?

My choice would be the little risk, modest profit option, because the company is well-established, and at that point, it is not necessary to take on huge risks.

2. Who in your company might support the first technology and who might support the second?

Younger employees would probably support the second technology, while older, more established and secure employees like senior managers would be more likely to support the first technology.

3. Think about individuals from all levels of the company, from the CEO and board members down to R&D personnel. What considerations of your decision need to be made from a societal perspective?

How the investment decision will affect the different departments of the company, both at the department level, and at the individual level.

4. Consider individuals outside of the company itself. How might the type of industry affect this type of decision?

The type of industry affects the decision greatly because different industries have varying degrees of market risk. This market risk is often measured by a "beta", which is a measure or the deviation of an industry from the average market risk.

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?

Answers

Answer: No they are not

Explanation:

When using the Cost of Capital approach, it is best that the company use the Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC). This would require considering the various capital sources available to the company and their cost instead of the cost of one capital source.

This is because, the availability of various sources of capital are sometimes contingent on others and this is the underlying principle of WACC. When the cost of this equity to be issued and other sources of capital are weighted, the heating compound might then give a better return than the cost.

A levered firm with the same operations and assets has face value of debt of $650,000 with a coupon rate of 7.5 percent that sells at par. The applicable tax rate is 35 percent. What is the value of the levered firm

Answers

Answer:

$2,133,136.53

Explanation:

Calculation for value of the levered firm

First step is to calculate the VU

VU= [$489,602 × (1 - .35)] / .167

VU= $1,905,636.53

Now let calculate the value of the levered firm

VL= $1,905,636.53 + .35($650,000)

VL= $2,133,136.53

Therefore the value of the levered firm is $2,133,136.53

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.

Answers

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

XYZ company sells wooden carvings for $300 each. The direct materials cost per unit is $160 and the direct labor per unit is 2 hours at a rate of $26 per hour. Manufacturing overhead (all fixed costs) is applied based on labor hours at a rate of $36 per hour. XYZ makes and sells 1,000 units per period. How many units must XYZ sell to breakeven

Answers

Answer:

818 units

Explanation:

Unit Contribution margin

= 300 - 160 - (2 × $26)

= $88

Fixed cost period

= (2 × $36) × 1,000 units

= $72,000

Break even = Fixed cost / Contribution margin

Break even = $72,000 / $88

Break even = 818 units

Therefore, XYZ company must sell 818 units to break even.

Answer:

18.50 minutes

Explanation:

cutting and drying/styling

= 20 + 10 = 30 minutes

percentage = 35%

= 30 * 0.35 = 10.50

coloring and styling/drying

= 10 + 10 = 20 minutes

percentage = 15 percent

0.15 * 20 = 3.00

only dryind and styling

time = 10 minutes

probability = 1 - 0.15+0.35 = 0.50

0.50 * 10 = 5.00

the expected activity time for this process = 10.50 + 5.00 + 3.00

= 18.50

Solomon has a balance of $4,000 on his credit card account, which has a minimum payment requirement of 4 percent. What is the minimum payment on his account?

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Answer:

160$

Explanation:

You run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office complex. Building it will require an investment of $10.0 million today and $5.0 million in one year. The government will pay you S20.O million in one year upon the building's completion. Suppose the interest rate is 10.0%.

Required:
a. What is the NPV of this opportunity?
b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today?

Answers

Answer:

a. Net Present Value = Present value of cashflows - Investment

Year 1 cash inflow = Receipts - Additional investment figure

= 20 million - 5 million

= $15 million

Net Present Value = (15,000,000 / (1 + 10%)) - 10,000,000

= $3,636,363.64

b. The total that the firm will receive from the government in today's value is:

= 20,000,000 / ( 1 + 10%)

= $18,181,818.18

The company can borrow this $18,181,818.18 now, assuming they can get it at a rate of 10%. When they are to pay it off in the next year, they will use the $20,000,000 that the government then pays them to pay off the loan.

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?

Answers

Answer:

$4020.53

$2020.58

The bond that pays $8000 in 20 years because its present value is higher

$2067.35

$534.24

The bond that pays $8000 in 40 years

Explanation:

formula for finding present value

pv = fv / (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

a. $8000 / (1.035)^20 = $4020.53

$8000 / (1.035)^40 = $2020.58

b. $8000 / (1.07)^20 = $2067.35

$8000 / (1.07)^40 = $534.24

There is a 73.5% decrease in the price of the bond that pays $8000 in 40 years

There is a 48.6% decrease in the price of the bond that pays $8000 in 20 years
