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,

You purchased 100 shares of MegaCorp for $17 per share four months ago. The brokerage fee was 4% of the total dollar amount of the purchase. Today you sold the shares for $23.50 per share. Brokerage fees were 4% of the total sale value. If you are in the .28 marginal tax bracket, how much tax do you owe (rounded to the nearest dollar) on the capital gain
Answer: $136.64 Owed on Capital gain.
Explanation:
Base on the information given in the question, the tax owed on the capital gain will be calculated thus:
Total purchase cost = 100 × $17 + [(100 × $17) × 4%]
= $1700 + ($1700 × 0.04)
= $1700 + $68
= $1,768
We than calculate the net sale consideration which will be:
= 100 × $23.50 - [(100 × $23.50) × 4%]
= $2350 - ($2350 × 0.04)
= $2350 - $94
= $2,256
Then, the short term capital gain will be:
= $2,256 - $1,768
= $488
The tax on short term capital gain will be:
= $488 × 28%
= $488 × 0.28
= $136.64

Determine the (1) current ratio and (2) quick ratio for both years. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
Current ratio
Year 1 = 1.3
Year 2 = 1.1
Quick ratio
Year 1 = 1.0
Year 2 = 0.8
Explanation:
Current ratio is the ration of a company's current assets to the current liabilities while the quick ratio is similar to the current asset except that the prepaid expenses and inventories are excluded from the determination of the assets.
Current assets
Year 1 = 9,096 + 2,913 + 6,437 + 2,720 + 1,865
= $ 23,031.00
Year 2 = 6,134 + 2,592 + 6,651 + 3,143 + 2,143
= $ 20,663.00
Current Liabilities
Year 1 = 4,071 + 13,507
= $ 17,578.00
Year 2 = 5,076 + 13,016
= $ 18,092.00
Current ratio
Year 1 = $ 23,031.00/$ 17,578.00
= 1.3 ( to 1 decimal place)
Year 2 = $ 20,663.00/$ 18,092.00
= 1.1 to 1 decimal place
Quick ratio
Year 1
= (23,031.00 - 2,720 - 1,865)/ 17,578.00
= 1.0 to 1 decimal place
Year 2
= (20,663.00 - 3,143 - 2,143)

You are evaluating two investment alternatives. One is a passive market portfolio with an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 16%. The other is a fund that is actively managed by your broker. This fund has an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of 20%. The risk-free rate is currently 7%. Answer the questions below based on this information. a. What is the slope of the Capital Market Line
Answer:
the slope of the capital market line is 0.1875
Explanation:
The computation of the slope of the capital market line is shown below:
= (Expected return - risk free rate of return) ÷ (standard deviation)
= (10% - 7%) ÷ 16%
= 3% ÷ 16%
= 0.1875
hence, the slope of the capital market line is 0.1875
We simply used the above formula to measured the slope of the capital market line

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.

b. Use the overhead rate in (a) to determine the amount of total and per-unit overhead allocated to each of the three products, rounded to the nearest dollar.
Total Per Unit
Factory Overhead Cost Factory Overhead Cost
Flutes $ $
Clarinets
Oboes
Total $
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Flutes= 2,000*2 = 4,000 hours
Clarinets= 1,500*3 = 4,500 hours
Oboes= 1,750*1.5 = 2,625 hours
Total direct labor hours = 11,125
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
On January 1, Year 2, Kincaid Company's Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts carried balances of $76,000 and $4,000, respectively. During Year 2, Kincaid reported $215,000 of credit sales, wrote off $2,100 of receivables as uncollectible, and collected cash from receivables amounting to $271,100. Kincaid estimates that it will be unable to collect one percent (1%) of credit sales. What effect will the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 have on the elements of the financial statements
Answer:
The effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.
Explanation:
Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = Credit sales * Estimated percentage uncollectable = $215,000 * 1% = $2,150
Ending account receivable = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales - Cash collected - Receivales written off as uncollectable - Credit sales estimated to be uncollectable = $76,000 + $215,000 - $271,100 - $2,100 - $2,150 = $15,560
Ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = Beginning Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Receivales written off as uncollectable = $4,000 - $2,100 = $1,900
Therefore, the effect the entry to recognize the uncollectible accounts expense for Year 2 will have on the elements of the financial statements are that it will reduce Accounts Receivable to $15,560 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to $1,900 at the end of Year 2.
The following events apply to Guiltf Seafood for the 2018 fiscal year:
a. The company started when it acquired $39,000 cash by issuing common stock.
b. Purchased a new cooktop that cost $15,400 cash.
c. Earned $23,900 in cash revenue.
d. Paid $14,000 cash for salaries expense.
e. Adjusted the records to reflect the use of the cooktop. Purchased on January 1, Year 1, the cooktop has an expected useful life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $3,200. Use straight-line depreciation. The adjusting entry was made as of December 31, Year 1.
Required:
Record the above transactions in a horizontal statements model.
Answer:
Cash + Equipment - Accumulated depreciation = Common stock + Retained = $46,460
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statements model.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Accumulated depreciation = (Cost of cooktop or equipment - Estimated salvage value) / Expected useful life = ($39,000 - $3,200) / 5 = $2,440
From the attached excel file, the accounting equation can be proved from the balances as follows:
Cash + Equipment - Accumulated depreciation = $33,500 + 15,400 - $2,440 = $46,460
Common stock + Retained = $39,000 + $7,460 = $46,460
Therefore, we have:
Cash + Equipment - Accumulated depreciation = Common stock + Retained = $46,460
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

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

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

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

Classic Limo, Inc. provides limousine service to Tri-Cities airport. The price of the service is fixed at a flat rate for each trip and most costs of providing the service are stable for each trip. Marc Pence, the owner, budgets income by estimating two factors that fluctuate with the economy: the fuel cost associated with each trip and the number of customers who will take trips. Looking at next year, Marc develops the following estimates of contribution margin (price less variable cost of the trip, including fuel) and for the estimated number of customers. Although Marc understands that it is not strictly true, he assumes that the cost of fuel and the number of customers are independent.
Contribution Margin Per
Scenario Ride (Price - Variable cost) Number of Customers
Excellent $40 10,500
Fair $25 6,000
Poor $15 4,500
In addition to the costs of a ride, Marc estimates that other service costs are $50,000 plus $5 for each customer (ride) in excess of 6,000 rides. Annual administrative and marketing costs are estimated to be $25,000 plus 10% of the contribution margin.

Answer:
Uses an assumed reasonable profit margin to determine the stand-alone price.
Explanation:
Is the pricing method in which a resonable profit margin is added to the total product cost to determine the sale price of a product.
For Example
Product A Incurred a total cost of $20 to produce one unit. The company XYZ wants to earn 20% profit margin on the cost of the product, hence the price will be $24 ( $20 x ( 1 + 20% ).
The properly formatted question is as follow

The failure rate for each component of a 2-component series system is assumed to be one failure per 1,000 hours of operation, and the switch reliability of replacing a failed component with a spare one is 1.0. Given that there is a spare component, a. Calculate the reliability of the system for a period of 1,000 hours assuming no other failure is possible. b. Determine the approximate MTBF of the system. c. What is the system MTBF without the spare component
Answer:
a. The reliability of the system for a period of 1,000 hours, assuming no other failure is possible is:
= 99.9%.
b. The approximate MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) without the spare component is:
1,000 hours.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations;
Failure rate of each component of a 2-component series system = 1/1,000 = 0.001
Therefore, the reliability rate = 1 - 0.001 = 0.999 = 99.9%
The switch reliability of replacing a failed component with a spare one = 1.0
The system's reliability = Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) minus the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
= 1,000 - 1.0 = 999 hours out of 1,000
b)The equipment's Mean time between failures (MTBF) is the average time it takes the equipment or system to suffer a breakdown. Engineers, vendors, and system analysts use the MTBF metric to measure an equipment's performance, safety, and design reliability.
Suppose the United States decides to reduce export subsidies on U.S. agricultural products, but it does not decrease taxes or increase any other government spending.
Initially, a reduction in export subsidies decreases net exports at any given real exchange rate, causing the demand for dollars in the foreign exchange market to decrease. This leads to a decrease in the real exchange rate, which, in turn, decreases imports to negate any decrease in exports, leaving the equilibrium quantity of net exports and the trade deficit unchanged at this point.
1. However, the reduction in expenditure on export subsidies ___________ the fiscal deficit, thereby ___________ public saving.
2. Indicate the effect this has on the U.S. market for loanable funds. (Supply and demand shift?)
3. Given the change in the real interest rate, show the effect this has on net capital outflow.
4. This causes the supply of dollars in the foreign exchange market to ______________, the real exchange rate to ______________, and the equilibrium level of net exports to _____________.
Answer:
1. Decrease, increase
2. Supply curve shifts to the right
3. NCO will rise
4. Real exchange rate falls and net exports rises
Explanation:
Fiscal deficit occurs when government spending's exceed government revenue. When the government lowers its export subsidies while keeping other spending's and taxes unchanged, it leads to a fall in the fiscal deficit.
1. However, the reduction in expenditure on export subsidies decreases the fiscal deficit, thereby increases public savings.
2. As public savings increase it leads to an increase in funds available to be loaned out. So the supply curve for loanable funds will shift to the right from S1 to S2. This will lead to a fall in the interest rate.
3. As we know that net capital outflow is inversely related to the interest rate. A fall in the interest rate above will lead to a rise in net capital outflow.
4. When net capital outflow increases, people move funds out of the country. Thus, supply of dollars will increase. While demand for dollars has remained unchanged, it leads to a fall in the real exchange rate. As exchange rate falls, the equilibrium level of net exports will rise.
1. Decrease, increase; 2. Supply curve shifts to the right; 3. NCO will rise;
and last 4. The real exchange rate falls and net exports rises
What is the Supply Curve?
A fiscal deficit happens when government spending surpasses government revenue.
When the government diminishes its export subsidies while maintaining different spending and taxes unchanged, it leads to a decline in the fiscal deficit.
1. However, the reduction in expense on export sponsorships decreases the fiscal deficit, thereby increasing general savings.
2. As public savings increase it rules to an increase in funds known to be loaned out. So the supply curve for loanable funds will shift to the right from S1 to S2. This will direct to a fall in the interest rate.
3. As we comprehend that net capital outflow is inversely correlated to the interest rate. A fall in the interest rate overhead will lead to a rise in the net capital outflow.
4. When net capital outflow increases, individuals transfer funds out of the country. Therefore, the supply of dollars will increase. While demand for dollars has stayed unchanged, it directs to a fall in the real exchange rate. As the conversation rate falls, the equilibrium grade of net exports will rise.

Descendants Corporation is a growth firm that recently had its IPO. It is not currently paying dividends and its first dividend is expected in year 5. After this, it is expected to offer dividends with growth rates of 15% for two years. After this time, it is expected to reach stable growth with a dividend growth rate of 4% forever. If the dividend discount model is used to value the stock, in what year does the horizon value from stable growth belong
Answer:
year 7
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) is used to determine the value of stock by discounting the dividend to derive the present value of the stock.
Types of DDM
1.two stage : one stage of rapid growth and a stage of constant growth
3. three stage : one stage of super normal growth, followed by a stage of normal growth and then constant growth
For this company
first 5 years = o dividends
next 2 years = 15%
7th year - constant growth
Shortcomings of the DDM
It doesn't take a control perspective
It is unsuitable for firms that don't pay dividends
Suppose a firm has 35 million shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $15 per share. The firm also has 200,000 bonds outstanding with a current price of $905.4. The outstanding bonds have yield to maturity 9.4%. The firm's common stock beta is 1.5 and the corporate tax rate is 39%. The expected market return is 14% and the T-bill rate is 3%. What is the WACC for this firm
Answer:
16%
Explanation:
The computation of the WACC is given below:
But before that following calculation should be done
Cost of equity
= Risk free rate of return + beta × (market return - risk free rate)
= 3% + 1.5 × (14% - 3%)
= 19.5%
Market value of equity = 35 million shares ×$15 = $525 million
And, the market value of debt = 200,000 × $905.4 = $181.08 million
Now the WACC is
= cost of equity × weight of equity + cost of debt × (1 - tax rate) × weight of debt
= 19.5% × ($525 ÷ 525 + 181.08) + 9.4% × (1 - 0.39) × ($181.08 ÷ 525 + 181.08)
= 19.5% ×0.744 + 5.734% × 0.256
= 15.975%
= 16%
