Answer:
The contribution margin ratio for Coffee Klatch is 83%.
Explanation:
Given that Coffee Klatch is an espresso stand in a downtown office building, and the average selling price of a cup of coffee is $ 1.49 and the average variable expense per cup is $ 0.24, and the average fixed expense per month is $ 1,600, to determine what is the CM Ratio for Coffee Klatch if an average of 2,100 cups are sold each month, the following calculation must be performed:
Contribution margin ratio: (sales - variable costs) / sales
((2,100 x 1.49) - (2,100 x 0.24)) / (2,100 x 1.49) = X
(3.129 - 504) / 3.129 = X
2.625 / 3.129 = X
0.83 = X
Thus, the contribution margin ratio for Coffee Klatch is 83%.
2) INFLATION-INDEXED TREASURY BOND Assume that the U.S. economy experienced deflation during the year and that the consumer price index decreased by 1 percent in the first six months of the year and by 2 percent during the second six months of the year. If an investor had purchased inflation-indexed Treasury bonds with a par value of $10,000 and a coupon rate of 5 percent, how much would she have received in interest during the year
Answer:
She received $490.05 during the year.
Explanation:
The principal of the bond will decrease in cash of decrease in the consumer price index.
The principal can be calculated as follow
Principal Value = ( Face value x Percentage reduction in consumer price index )
For the First Six Months
Principal Value = ( $10,000 x ( 100% - 1% ) = $9,900
For the Last Six Months
Principal Value = ( $9,900 x ( 100% - 2% ) = $9,702
Now calculate the coupon payments using the following formula
Coupon payments = Principal value x Coupon rate x Time fraction
For the First Six Months
Coupon payments = $9,900 x 5% x 6/12 = $247.50
For the Last Six Months
Coupon payments = $9,702 x 5% x 6/12 = $242.55
Total Interest received = Interest received in First Six Months + Interest received in Last Six Months = $247.50 + $242.55 = $490.05

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has determined that the probability of a worker dying from exposure to a hazardous chemical used in the production of fertilizer is 0.008. The cost of imposing a regulation that would ban the chemical is $31 million. If the value of a human life is equal to $8 million, how many people must the policy affect in order for the benefits to exceed the costs
Answer: More than 484 person
Explanation:
The expected benefit for one person will be:
= probability of death × value of life
= 0.008 × 8 million = 0.064 million
The number of people that the policy must the affect in order for the benefits to exceed the costs will be:
= 31 million / 0.064 million
= 484.755
Therefore, the people should be more than 484 persons to exceed costs
Portia owns and manages a sporting apparel company. Consider the given average cost (AC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC) curves for track suits. All but the MC curve have been placed incorrectly. Portia knows that the minimum average cost for a track suit is $7 and the minimum of average variable cost is $5.
Required:
Draw the AC and AVC curves so that they are consistent with the marginal cost curve.
Answer:
AVC curve will be below the AC curve
Explanation:
As we know,
[tex]AC = AFC + AVC[/tex]
This means that Average cost is the sum of average fixed cost and Average variable cost. Thus it can be shown that AC curve will be above the AVC curve.
Also we know that MC curve is upward sloping.
Thus, the MC curve will cut the AVC curve first and it will be to the right of the point where the MC curve cuts the AC curve.
So the curve must look like,
Predetermined Factory Overhead Rate Novus Engine Shop uses a job order cost system to determine the cost of performing engine repair work. Estimated costs and expenses for the coming period are as follows: Engine parts $1,257,500 Shop direct labor 550,000 Shop and repair equipment depreciation 91,000 Shop supervisor salaries 250,000 Shop property taxs 40,000 Shop supplies 15,000 Advertising expense 75,000 Administrative office salaries 175,000 Administrative office depreciation expense 12,500 Total costs and expenses $2,466,000 The average shop direct labor rate is $25 per hour. Determine the predetermined shop overhead rate per direct labor hour. $fill in the blank 1 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead cost for the period:
Estimated overhead cost= Shop and repair equipment depreciation + Shop supervisor salaries + Shop property taxes + Shop supplies
Estimated overhead cost= 91,000 + 250,000 + 40,000 + 15,000
Estimated overhead cost= $396,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 396,000 / (550,000/25)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 396,000 / 22,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per direct labor hour
ThingOne Company has the following information available for the past year. They use machine hours to allocate overhead. Actual total overhead$80,510 Actual fixed overhead$32,000 Actual machine hours11,000 Standard hours for the units produced10,600 Standard variable overhead rate$4.60 What is the variable overhead efficiency variance
Answer:
the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,840 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:
= Standard variable overhead rate × (standard hours - actual hours)
= $4.60 × (10,600 - 11,000)
= $1,840 unfavorable
Hence, the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,840 unfavorable
As the standard hours would be less than the actual hours so it would be unfavorable variance

b) Family members are usually promoted first in a family-owned business.
c) Protecting a family member is sometimes more important than a good business
d) decision.
Families and their businesses are very mobile.
Answer: Families and their businesses are very mobile.

Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -3, its income elasticity is -2, its advertising elasticity is 4, and the cross-price elasticity of demand between it and good Y is -2. Determine how much the consumption of this good will change if: Instructions: Enter your responses as percentages. Include a minus (-) sign for all negative answers. a. The price of good X decreases by 7 percent. percent b. The price of good Y increases by 10 percent. percent c. Advertising decreases by 2 percent. percent d. Income increases by 4 percent. percent Prev
Answer:
a. 21 percent
b. -20 percent
c. -8 percent
d. -8 percent
Explanation:
Own price elasticity = -3
Income elasticity = -2
Advertising elasticity= 4
Cross price elasticity = -2
Formula for elasticity is given by,
[tex]Elasticity = \frac{Percentage change in Quantity}{Percentage change in factor}[/tex]
a. When price of good X decreases by 7 percent.
[tex]Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in own price}[/tex]
[tex]-3 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{-7}[/tex]
[tex]Percent change in quantity = (-3) * (-7) = 21[/tex]
Thus, as price decreases by 7% quantity rises by 21%.
b. The price of good Y increases by 10 percent.
[tex]Corss- price elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in Price of good Y} \\ -2 = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{10} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (10) \\ = -20[/tex]
Thus, as price of good Y increases by 10 percent, demand for good X falls by 20 percent.
c. Advertising decreases by 2 percent.
[tex]Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in advertising} \\4 = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{-2} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\ = -8[/tex]
Thus, a 2 percent decline in advertising will lead to a 8 percent fall in quantity of good X.
d. Income increases by 4 percent.
[tex]Income elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{Percent change in income}\\-2 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{4} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\ = -8\\[/tex]
Thus, when income increases by 4 percent, quantity decreases by 8 percent.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,948,125 / 11,125
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $265 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Flutes= 4,000* 265= 1,060,000
Clarinets= 4,500*265= 1,192,500
Oboes= 2,625*265= 695,625
Unitary:
Flutes= 265*2= 530
Clarinets= 265*3= 795
Oboes= 265*1.5= 397.5
An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $6,020,000 and will be sold for $1,220,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the aftertax salvage value of the asset
Answer:
The after-tax salvage value of the asset is:
= $793,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Asset acquisition cost = $6,020,000
Salvage value = $1,220,000
MACRS Depreciation Expenses = $4,800,000
Project useful life or project duration = 5 years
Tax rate = 35%
Tax expense = $427,000
After-tax salvage value = $793,000 ($1,220,000 - $427,000)
b) The salvage value of the project asset is the recovery or residual value after depreciation expenses have been recognized over the project asset's useful life. Depreciation is an accounting method of spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life. There are many depreciation methods, including straight-line, double-declining, unit-of-production, sum-of-the-years digits, etc.
Two years ago Angle Company starting using dollar-value LIFO for costing its inventory. The first year the ending inventory in end-of-year dollars was $180,000 with a price index of 1.0. The second year the inventory was $270,000 and the index was 1.2. The current inventory at end of year prices is $387,000 and the price index is 1.25. Given this information, the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO is

LIFO
1 $180,000 1.0 $180,000 ($180,000/1.0)
2 270,000 1.2 225,000 ($270,000/1.2)
3. 387,000 1.25 309,600 ($387,000/1.25)
b) The Inventory value using dollar-value LIFO converts the inventory value to the base year's value using the price index. It is an attempt to rebase the dollar value of the current ending inventory, using the changes in the price index.
An investor has two bonds in her portfolio, Bond C and Bond Z. Each bond matures in 4 years, has a face value of $1,000, and has a yield to maturity of 8.9%. Bond C pays a 10% annual coupon, while Bond Z is a zero coupon bond. Assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at 8.9% over the next 4 years, calculate the price of the bonds at each of the following years to maturity.
Years to Maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z
4 $ $
3 $ $
2 $ $
1 $ $
0 $ $
Answer:
Years to maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z
4 $1,084.42 $711.03
3 $1,065.93 $774.31
2 $1,045.80 $843.23
1 $1,023.88 $918.27
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel for the calculations of the prices of Bond C and Bond Z.
The price of each bond of the bond can be calculated using the following excel function:
Bond price = -PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)
Where;
rate = Yield to maturity of each of the bonds
NPER = Years to maturity
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value
FV = Face value
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) for each of the Years to Maturity and inputting them into relevant cells in the attached excel sheet, we have:
Years to maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z
4 $1,084.42 $711.03
3 $1,065.93 $774.31
2 $1,045.80 $843.23
1 $1,023.88 $918.27
Bodin Company budgets on an annual basis. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are plannned for the year 20x1. Five units of raw material are required to produce each unit of finished product. January 1 December 31 Raw material 42,000 49,000 Work in process 19,000 19,000 Finished goods 92,000 75,000 Required: 1. If Bodin Company plans to sell 476,000 units during the year, compute the number of units the firm would have to manufacture during the year. 2. If 508,000 finished units were to be manufactured by Bodin Company during the year, determine the amount of raw material to be purchased.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The number of units to be manufactured during the year is
= Selling units + ending finished goods - opening finished goods
= 476,000 units + 75,000 units - 92,000 units
= 459,000 units
2. The raw material purchased amount is
= (508,000 × 5) + 49,000 - 42,000
= $2,547,000

Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because A. the government subsidy granted is usually insufficient to enable private producers to make a profit. B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Answer:
Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because
B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Explanation:
There is rivalry in the production and consumption of private goods. This rivalry is generally described as competition. Most public goods are produced naturally or provided by the government to her citizens. Since they are made available for the welfare of the people, there is usually no cost recovery or exclusion of persons based on financial affordability. But private goods are manufactured and sold by private companies or individuals for a profit motive.
Thomas Company has a sales budget for next month of $1,000,000. Cost of goods sold is expected to be 25 percent of sales. All goods are paid for in the month following purchase. The beginning inventory of merchandise is $50,000, and an ending inventory of $64,000 is desired. Beginning accounts payable is $160,000. For Thomas Company, the ending accounts payable should be:
Answer:
the ending account payable is $264,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending account payable is shown below;
= Required material + ending inventory - beginning inventory
= ($1,000,000 × 25%) + $64,000 - $50,000
= $264,000
Hence, the ending account payable is $264,000
Basically applied the above formula to calculate the ending account payable
Zoom Enterprises expects that one year from now it will pay a total dividend of million and repurchase million worth of shares. It plans to spend million on dividends and repurchases every year after that forever, although it may not always be an even split between dividends and repurchases. If Zoom's equity cost of capital is and it has million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Answer:
The share price is $15.67 per share
Explanation:
The above mentioned question is missing few components. I have added them to explain on how the question would be solved if all the variables were provided. Please note the additions in bold text below. The answer of which is given afterwards.
Zoom Enterprises expects that one year from now it will pay a total dividend of $4.7 million and repurchase $4.7 million worth of shares. It plans to spend $9.4 million on dividends and repurchases every year after that forever, although it may not always be an even split between dividends and repurchases. If Zoom's equity cost of capital is 12.5% and it has $4.8 million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Solution mentioned below:
First we calculate the value of the enterprise by dividing the amount planned to be spent on dividends from cost of capital.
= $9.4 million / 0.125
= $75.2 million
Now to calculate price per share we divide the Enterprise value from the share outstanding.
= $75.2 million / $4.8 million
= $15.67 per share
