Answer:
11,000 people
Explanation:
fixed costs per store $80,000
variable cost ratio 0.80
average sale per customer $15
average customer sales per week 1.75
customers as portion of population 4%
each customer shops 1.75 x 52 = 91 times per year
contribution margin per visit = $15 - ($15 x 0.8) = $3
contribution margin per client per year = $3 x 91 = $273
in order to make $40,000 in profits, you need at least:
($80,000 + $40,000) / $273 = 439.56 ≈ 440 customers
to determine the city's total population = 440 / 0.04 = 11,000
The depreciation method that produces larger depreciation expense during the early years of an asset's life and smaller expense in the later years is a(an):
Answer:
Accelerated depreciation method
Explanation:
Accelerated depreciation is a method of depreciation in which the assets lost his purchase price or book value at the speedy rate as compared with the straight-line method.
And it generates a larger amount of expenses during the early period and the smaller amount of expenses in the later year so that it can be decreased the taxable income
Retired utility workers are suing their former employer for knowingly exposing them to asbestos without warning them of the health risks. The retired workers did not learn of the prolonged exposure until long after their retirement because the company engaged in a systematic cover up of the exposure. The retired workers' cause of action is for which of the following?
a. Assault
b. Battery
c. Injurious falsehood
d. Tortious interference
Answer:
b. Battery
Explanation:
Retired utility workers are suing their former employer for knowingly exposing them to asbestos without warning them of the health risks. The retired workers did not learn of the prolonged exposure until long after their retirement because the company engaged in a systematic cover up of the exposure. The retired workers' cause of action is for battery.
In Business law, battery can be defined as the act of intentionally causing physical harm to an individual or group of people through physical contacts.
Hence, in this case the employers knowingly or intentionally exposed the retired workers to asbestos without warning them of the health risks associated.
Simply stated, a battery in criminal law is completed assault.
On November 1, Jasper Company loaned another company $100,000 at a 6.0% interest rate. The note receivable plus interest will not be collected until March 1 of the following year. The company's annual accounting period ends on December 31. The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is:
Answer:
The amount of interest revenue that should be reported in the first year is $1,000
Explanation:
As we know Note receivable is a type of investment on which the Noteholder receives te interest over the note amount.
Value of Note = $100,000
Rate = 6%
until 31 December only two months has been passed and the interest revenue of only 2 months will be recognized as follow
Interst Revenue = $100,000 x 6% x 2/12 = $1,000
So the interest revenue of $1,000 should be reported in the first year.

F Mining has $6 million in sales, its ROE is 20%, and its total assets turnover is 3.2x. The company has 40% equity financed (i.e., equity multiplier is 2.5). What is its net income? (DuPont analysis)
Answer:
$0.15 million
Explanation:
The formula for ROE can be used as a stepping stone to determining the value of net income:
ROE=Profit margin*Total asset turnover*Equity multiplier
ROE is 20%
total asset turnover is 3.2
equity multiplier is 2.5
20%=profit margin*3.2*2.5
20%=profit margin*8
profit margin=20%/8=2.5%
The formula for profit margin can now be used to determine net income.
profit margin=net income/sales
2.5%=net income/$6 million
net income=$6 million*2.5%
net income=$0.15 million
A company is considering two options for the production of a part needed downstream
in the manufacturing process. Particulars are as follows:
Specialized automation: Fixed Costs = $9,000 / month Variable Cost / Unit = $2
General automation: Fixed Costs = $3,000 / month Variable Cost / Unit = $5
1. What is the monthly break-even quantity for choosing between the two automation approaches?
a. 1,000 units
b. 2,000 units
c. 6,000 units
d. 12,000 units
2. For a monthly volume of 3,000 units, which automation approach should be chosen?
a. Specialized automation
b. General automation
c. Either approach is acceptable, because costs are the same for either option at 3,000 units.
d. Can’t be determined with information given.
Answer:
1= B
2= A
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Specialized automation:
Fixed Costs = $9,000 / month
Variable Cost / Unit = $2
General automation:
Fixed Costs = $3,000 / month
Variable Cost / Unit = $5
First, we need to structure the costs formula:
Specialized automation:
Total cost= 9,000 + 2x
x= production
General automation:
Total cost= 3,000 + 5x
x= production
To calculate the indifference point, we need to equal both formulas:
9,000 + 2x = 3,000 + 5x
6,000=3x
2,000= x
The indifference point is 2,000 units.
Finally, we need to calculate which process is more convenient for 3,000 units:
Specialized automation:
Total cost= 9,000 + 2*3,000= $15,000
General automation:
Total cost= 3,000 + 5*3,000= $18,000
You have a portfolio that is invested 16 percent in Stock A, 36 percent in Stock B, and 48 percent in Stock C. The betas of the stocks are .61, 1.16, and 1.45, respectively. What is the beta of the portfolio
Answer:
Beta= 1.2112
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Stock A:
Proportion= 0.16
Beta= 0.61
Stock B:
Proportion= 0.36
Beta= 1.16
Stock C:
Proportion= 0.48
Beta= 1.45
To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B) + (proportion of investment C*beta C)
Beta= (0.16*0.61) + (0.36*1.16) + (0.48*1.45)
Beta= 1.2112
Consider a four-year project with the following information:
initial fixed asset investment = $470,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $30; variable costs = $20; fixed costs = $160,000; quantity sold = 77,000 units; tax rate = 30 percent.
1. What is the degree of operating leverage at the given level of output?
2. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even level of output?
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of the Degree of operating leverage is
= Quantity sold × (Price - Variable cost) ÷ (Quantity sold × (Price - Variable cost) - Fixed cost)
where,
Fixed cost = $160,000 + $470,000 ÷ 4
= $277,500
Now the degree of operating leverage is
= 77000 × ($30 - $20) ÷ ($77,000 × ($30 - $20) - $277,500)
= 1.56
2. The Accounting Break-even level of output is
The break even point is
= Fixed cost ÷ (Price - Variable cost)
= $277500 ÷ ($30 - $20)
= $27,750
As the degree of operating leverage could not be calculated as the denominator comes to zero
Most economists believe that real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of each other in the long run. For example, an increase in the money supply, a _____________ variable, will cause the price level, a __________ variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a _____________ variable. The notion that an increase in the quantity of money will impact the price level but not the output level is known as___________________.
Answer:
nominal; nominal; real; the classical dichotomy.
Explanation:
Most economists believe that real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of each other in the long run. For example, an increase in the money supply, a nominal variable, will cause the price level, a nominal variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a real variable. The notion that an increase in the quantity of money will impact the price level but not the output level is known as the classical dichotomy.
A nominal variable is the monetary value of a security such as bonds or stocks, without considering any change in price caused by inflation. It is also referred to as the par value or face value.
A real variable measures goods and services taking into consideration any change in price or that has been adjusted for inflation so as to allow comparison of goods with respect to another goods or services.
Hence, if the money supply is increased, it will cause an increase in the price of goods and services but will have no effect on the gross domestic product (GDP), which is known as the classical dichotomy.
At first, it might seem that valuable commodities, such as cattle or lead bars, might be good forms of money. What makes paper money preferable to these alternatives
Answer:
This questions is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
a) It is less likely to be stolen.
b) It has more intrinsic value than cattle or lead bars.
c) It is divisible (unlike cattle) and easily portable (unlike lead bars).
And the correct answer is the option C: It is divisible (unlike cattle) and easily portable (unlike lead bars).
Explanation:
To begin with, the current paper money that is used nowadays has a lot of benefits in comparison with those other material valuable commodities due to the fact of all the characteristics that the paper money has. In addition, this currency is much more divisible than those other due to the fact that a one hundred dollar paper could turn into two fifty dollars papers. Besides, the paper money is much more portable than those others and the person could even carry more value in paper money than the same value but with those other commodities. And finally, the paper money is much more liquid than those other goods, so that indicates that is extremely easy to exchange for other thing, while the other options are not.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.57 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.10, $2.31, $2.38, and $2.49 per share in the last four years. If the stock currently sells for $60.
Required:
a. What is your best estimate of the company's cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate in dividends?
b. What if you use the geometric average growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
arithmetic average growth rate = (10% + 3.03% + 4.62% + 3.21%) / 4 = 5.22%
we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:
stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)
expected dividend = $2.57 x 1.0522 = $2.7042stock price = $60growth rate = 0.0522605 = 2.7042 / (RRR - 0.0522)
RRR - 0.0522 = 2.7042 / 60 = 0.045
RRR = 0.045 + 0.0522 = 0.0973 = 9.73%
geometric average growth rate = [(1.10 x 1.0303 x 1.0462 x 1.0321)¹/⁴] - 1 = 0.05178 = 5.18%
again we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:
stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)
expected dividend = $2.57 x 1.0518 = $2.703126stock price = $60growth rate = 0.051860 = 2.703126 / (RRR - 0.0518)
RRR - 0.0518 = 2.703126 / 60 = 0.0450521
RRR = 0.0968521 = 9.69%

You are given three options. You may have the balance in an account that has been collecting 5 percent interest for 20 years, the balance in an account that has been collecting 10 percent interest for 10 years, or the balance in an account that has been collecting 20 percent interest for five years. Each account had the same original balance. Which account now has the lowest balance
Answer:
Third account has the lowest balance that is 2.49P.
Explanation:
First option,
Given interest rate = 5%
Time period = 20 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
First Account,
Given interest rate (n )= 5%
Time period (n ) = 20 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
Now find the Future value = PV(1+ r)^n
= P ( 1 + 5%)^20
= 2.65P
Second account:
Given interest rate (n ) = 10%
Time period (n ) = 100 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
Now find the Future value = PV(1+ r)^n
= P ( 1 + 10%)^10
= 2.59P
Thirs account:
Given interest rate (n ) = 20%
Time period (n ) = 5 years
Let the initial amount ( present value ) = P
Now find the Future value = PV(1+ r)^n
= P ( 1 + 20%)^5
= 2.49P
Airco Company is tempted to consider support department costs to be facility-level costs that do not need to be applied to products. Which of the following explains what is misguided about this approach?
1. Product costs may be inaccurate because straight-line depreciation on factory equipment is treated as a genera and administrative expense on the income statement.
2. Product costs may be inaccurate because support department services may be used more heavily by some products than others.
3. Product costs may be inaccurate because incorrect cost drivers are used.
4. Product costs may be inaccurate because direct labor and direct materials are not correctly accounted for in thu product costing system.
Answer:
Option 2. Product costs may be inaccurate because support department services may be used more heavily by some products than others.
Explanation:
Option 1 is not a misguide about this approach as all the depreciation costs are considered as general or administration expenses.
Option 3 is incorrect because cost drivers of cost pools are always accurate, they can not be used inaccurately while using Activity Based Costing.
Option 4 is also incorrect because direct costs are prime cost which are easily attributable to products and in this scenario, the indirect costs are considered inappropriate to be assigned to the product cost.
Option 2 is correct because considering support department costs to be facility-level costs would result in inappropriate cost allocations to some products as a single appropriate basis would be used to allocate the support department services cost to each product. This means if appropriate basis is not chosen correctly then this would result in inaccurate allocation as some of the products will be using the support services heavily than others.
OceanGate sells external hard drives for $200 each. Its total fixed costs are $30 million, and its variable costs per unit are $140. The corporate tax rate is 30%. If the economy is strong, the firm will sell 2 million drives, but if there is a recession, it will sell only half as many.
a. What is the firm's degree of operating leverage in going from a recession to a strong economy?
b. If the economy enters a recession, what will be the firm's after-tax profit?
Answer:
a) 1.33
b) $21,000,000
Explanation:
EBIT in normal economy = (total units sold x contribution margin) - total fixed costs = (2,000,000 x $60) - $30,000,000 = $90,000,000
EBIT in recessive economy = (total units sold x contribution margin) - total fixed costs = (1,000,000 x $60) - $30,000,000 = $30,000,000
degree of operating leverage = % change in EBIT / % change in sales
% change in EBIT = ($30 - $90) / $90 = -66.67%% change in sales = (1 - 2) / 2 = -50%degree of operating leverage = -66.67% / -50% = 1.33
firm's after tax profit in a recession = EBIT x (1 - tax rate) = $30,000,000 x 0.7 = $21,000,000

An optimum that occurs as a corner solution A. cannot exhaust the budget constraint. B. includes only one good. C. cannot be an equilibrium. D. includes the exact same amounts of each good.
Answer:
B. includes only one good.
Explanation:
A corner solution is a microeconomics concept, which is used to illustrate the graphical representation of a situation where an individual wouldn't do some things at any cost or for any price.
Optimum is usually experienced on the consumer graph at the point where the indifference curve (IC) is just tangential to the consumer's budget constraint. Thus, the corner solution lies at the non-zero interior, which then means that none of the other goods is contained in the optimum.
Hence, an optimum that occurs as a corner solution includes only one good.
For instance, Tracy saying she wouldn't buy a XYZ phone for any price, or Sarah saying she would visit a museum no matter how much it will cost her are some examples of corner solution.
On January 1, 1999, Luciano deposits 90 into an investment account. On April 1, 1999, when the amount in Luciano’s account is equal to X, a withdrawal of W is made. No further deposits or withdrawals are made to Luciano’s account for the remainder of the year. On December 31, 1999, the amount in Luciano’s account is 85. The dollar-weighted return over the 1-year period is 20%. The time-weighted return over the 1-year period is 16%. Calculate X.
Answer:
X = 107.63
Explanation:
From the given information:
The amount of interest earned on this account will be:
= 85 + W - 90
= W - 5
However; the dollar weight return rate is:
[tex]\dfrac{(W-5)}{(90 - \dfrac{3}{4*W})} = 0.2[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{(W-5)}{(90 - 0.75W})} = 0.2[/tex]
W - 5 = 0.2(90 - 0.75W)
W - 5 = 18 - 0.15 W
W + 0.15 W = 18 + 5
1.15 W = 23
W = 23/1.15
W = 20
The time weighted return rate can be computed as:
[tex]0.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20} -1[/tex]
[tex]1+0.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20}[/tex]
[tex]1.16 = \dfrac{X}{90} \times \dfrac{85}{X-20}[/tex]
1.16×((90)(X-20)) = 85X
1.16 × (90X - 1800) = 85X
104.4X - 2088 = 85 X
104.4X - 85 X = 2088
19.4X = 2088
X = 2088/19.4
X = 107.628866
X = 107.63

C. Suppose the number of tablet computer manufacturers rises. This will cause (the supply / the demand) the supply the demand of tablet computers to (shift in / shift out) , causing price to (rise / fall) and quantity to ( (rise / fall) .
D. Suppose an exciting new game is released that is only available on tablet computers. This will cause the supply / the demand the supply the demand for tablet computers to (shift in / shift out) , causing tablet computer price to (rise / fall) and quantity to (rise / fall) .
E. Suppose the prices for popular apps (complements to tablet computers) rise. This will cause (the supply / the demand) the supply the demand of tablet computers to (shift in / shift out) , causing tablet computer price to (rise / fall) and quantity to (rise / fall) .
Answer:
Supply, shift in , rise fall
the demand, shift in, fall ,fall
supply , shift out fall, rise
the demand , shift out rise rise
the demand shift in fall fall
Explanation:
If the wages of factory worker increases, it becomes more expensive to hire workers, the cost of production increases and the demand for labour would fall. as a result, production would fall and the supply of tablets would fall. a decrease in supply leads to an inward shift of the supply curve. as a result of the fall in supply, quantity would fall and there would be a rise in price.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good. If the price of notebooks falls, it becomes cheaper to purchase notebooks, so the quantity demanded of notebooks would rise and the demand for tablets would fall since it is cheaper to buy a tablet. the demand curve for tablets would shift in as a result of the fall in demand. As a result, price and quantity of tablets would fall.
Increase in the number of manufactures would lead to an increase in supply. this would cause a rise in the supply of tablets. when there is a rise in supply, the supply curve shifts out, prices fall and quantity increases.
the new game would increase demand for tablets because people would be interested in playing the game. as a result of the rise in demand, the demand curve would shift out, the quantity would rise and prices would rise
A complement is a good that is consumed together with another good. if the price of apps rise, it would become more expensive to buy apps as result the demand for tablets would fall. the demand curve would shift in and price and quantity would fall
When the wages of factory worker increases, it becomes more expensive to hire workers, also the cost of production increases, and also the demand for labor would fall. as a result, when the production would fall also the supply of tablets would fall. when a decrease in supply leads to an inward shift of the supply curve. Although as a result of the fall in supply, the quantity would fall, and also there would be a price rise.
When Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good. also If the price of notebooks falls, it becomes cheaper to purchase notebooks, so the quantity demanded of notebooks would rise, and also the demand for tablets would fall since it is cheaper to buy a tablet. the demand curve for tablets would shift in as a result of the fall in demand. So As a result, the price and also the number of tablets would fall.
When Increase in the number of manufacturers would lead to an increase in supply. this would cause a rise in the supply of tablets. when there are a rise in supply, the supply curve shifts out, prices fall, and also quantity increases.
When the new game would increase demand for tablets because people would be interested in playing the game. So as a result of the rise in demand, the demand curve would shift out, the quantity would rise and also prices would rise
Thus A complement is a good that is consumed together with another good. if the price of apps rises, it would become more expensive to buy apps as a result the demand for tablets would fall. Then the demand curve would shift in and price and also quantity would fall

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 70,000 units of RX5 follows.
Direct materials $ 4.00
Direct labor 8.00
Overhead 9.00
Total costs per unit 21.00
Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 70,000 units of RX5 for $20.00 per unit.
Required:
1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Total incremental costs of: Making the units Buying the units
Total direct materials $ 244,000 $ 0
Total direct labor 488,000 0
Variable overhead costs 122,000 0
Cost to buy the units 1,159,000
Total costs $ 854,000 $ 1,159,000
Should the company continue to manufacture the part,
or should it buy the part from the outside supplier? Make the units
Answer:
1.Incremental cost of making and buying the RX5 is $434,000
2. Since the cost of buying is more than the cost of producing by $305,000, therefore, the company should continue to produce the component parts.
Explanation:
1.We need to first compute the cost of making the component part.
Cost of making are;
Direct material = 70,000 units × $4
= $280,000
Direct labor = $70,000 units × $8
= $560,000
Variable over head cost = 70,000 units × $9 × 20%
= $126,000
Therefore, total cost of making the components = direct material cost + direct labor cost + variable overhead cost
= $280,000 + $560,000 + $126,000
= $966,000
Also, total cost of buying the components
= Units × RX5 per unit
= 70,000 × $20
= $1,400,000
Therefore,
Incremental cost = Cost of making - Cost of buying
= $966,000 - $1,400,000
=$434,000
2. Total costs of making the units = Total direct material cost + Total direct labor costs + Variable overhead costs
= $244,000 + 488,000 + $122,000
= $854,000
Since total cost to buy is $1,159,000
Total incremental cost = Total cost of making the units - Total cost of buying the units
= $854,000 - $1,159,000
= $305,000
Gitano Products operates a job-order costing system and applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of the direct materials uses in production (not on the basis of raw materials). Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $126,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of $90,000 direct material dollars to be used in production. The Company has provided the following data for the just completed year:
Purchase of raw materials $138,000
Direct Labor Cost $86,000
Manufacturing Overhead Costs:
Indirect Labor $122,600
Property Taxes $8,900
depreciation of equipment $15,000
Maintenance $15,000
Insurance $10,000
Rent, building $35,000
Beginning Ending
Raw Materials $25,000 $15,000
Work in Process $49,000 $39,000
Finished Goods $74,000 $59,000
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year.
b. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.
c. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year. Assume all raw materials are used in production as direct materials.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below;
Predetermined Overhead Rate is
= Estimated Manufacturing Overhead ÷ Estimated Allocation Base × 100
= $126,000 ÷ $90,000
= 140%
2. Now the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead is
But before that we need to find out the overhead applied and overhead incurred which is
= (Opening Value of Direct Material + Purchase of Direct Material - Closing Value of Direct Material) × Predetermined Overhead Rate
= ($25,000 + 138,000 - $15,000) × 140%
= $207,200
Now the Overhead Incurred is
Indirect Labor $122,600
Property Taxes $8,900
depreciation of equipment $15,000
Maintenance $15,000
Insurance $10,000
Rent, building $35,000
Total $206,500
So, the overhead over applied is
= $207,200 - $206,500
= $700
c. Now the schedule of cost of goods manufactured is presented below:
Opening Raw Material $25,000
Add Purchases of Raw Material $138,000
Less Closing Stock of Raw Material -$15,000
Direct Material Used $148,000
Add:
Direct Labor $86,000
Manufacturing Overhead Applied $207,200
Total Manufacturing Costs $441,200
Add Opening WIP $49,000
Less Closing WIP -$39,000
Cost of Goods Manufactured $451,200

"If bookstore ABC Books determines it is going to sell books at its profit-maximizing price of $16 in a market facing monopolistic competition, calculate total profit for the store. ABC Books Revenue and Cost Quantity Price Total Revenue Marginal Revenue Total Cost Marginal Cost 0 $26 $0 - $300 - 10 $23 $230 $23 $340 $4 20 $20 $400 $17 $400 $6 30 $18 $540 $14 $480 $8 40 $16 $640 $10 $580 $10 50 $14 $700 $6 $700 $12 60 $12 $720 $2 $840 $14"
Answer:
40 books revenue is maximized
Explanation:
Profit is maximized where Marginal cost equals Marginal Revenue. The revenue is maximized where 40 books are sold for the price of $16. The marginal revenue at this point equals the marginal cost. Profit will be maximized for the ABC Books if it sells 40 books at the price of $16 per book. Here Marginal cost is $10 and marginal revenue is also $10. This is profit maximizing point.
What is the stock price per share for a stock that has a required return of 16%, an expected dividend $2.7 per share, and a constant growth rate of 10%
Answer:
Price of stock = $49.5
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.
If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:
Price of stock=Do (1+g)/(k-g)
Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate
DATA:
D0- 2.7
g- 10%
K- 16%
Price of stock = ( 2.7×1.1)/(0.16-0.1) = 49.5
Price of stock = $49.5
