Sales (5,000 units) $ 330,000
Variable expenses 175,000
Contribution margin 155,000
Fixed expenses 104,900
Net operating income $50,100
Required:
Redo the company's contribution format income statement assuming that the company sells 5,200 units.
Net Operating Income _______.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Net income= 56,300

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed expenses 104,900

First, we need to determine unitary values:

Selling price= 330,000/5,000= $66

Unitary variable expenses= 175,000/5,000= $35

Now, we can redo the contribution margin income statement for 5,200 units:

Sales= 66*5,200= 343,200

Total variable cost= 35*5,200= (182,000)

Total contribution margin= 161,200

Fixed costs= (104,900)

Net income= 56,300

1. With a Defined Benefit Plan, employers promise to pay employees a pension based on factors like years of service and salary. The plan will be sponsored by the employer and will be managed by the company.

2. As the Vacation is an expense, it will need to be debited to an expense account being the Vacation Pay Expense account. It will also be credited to the Vacation Pay Payable to reflect that this is a liability that the company must fulfil.

If Treasury bills are currently paying 6.5 percent and the inflation rate is 1.3 percent, what is the approximate and the exact real rate of interest

Answers

Answer:

the approximate real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate = 6.5% - 1.3% = 5.2%

the exact real interest rate is calculated using the following formula:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected rate of inflation)

(1 + 0.065) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.013)

1 + real interest rate = (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.013) = 1.065 / 1.013 = 1.05133

real interest rate = 1.05133 - 1 = 0.05133 = 5.13%

Lindon Company is the exclusive distributor for an automotive product that sells for $34.00 per unit and has a CM ratio of 30%. The company’s fixed expenses are $193,800 per year. The company plans to sell 21,600 units this year. Required: 1. What are the variable expenses per unit? (Round your "per unit" answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. What is the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 3. What amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800 per year? 4. Assume that by using a more efficient shipper, the company is able to reduce its variable expenses by $3.40 per unit. What is the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? What dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800?

Answers

Answer:

1. $23.80

2. Break even Point (units) = 19,000 units and Break even Point (dollars) = $646,000

3. Unit sales to attain a target profit = 28,000 units and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $952,000

4. Break even Point (units) = 28,500 units, Break even Point (dollars) = $969,000 and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $1,428,000.

Explanation:

Variable Cost % = 100% - 30%

                           = 70%

Thus, variable expenses per unit = $34.00 × 70%

                                                       = $23.80

Break even Point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit

                                        = $193,800 / ($34.00 ×30%)

                                        = $193,800 / $10.20

                                        = 19,000 units

Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio

                                           = $193,800 / 0.30

                                           = $646,000

Unit sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / Contribution per unit

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / $10.20

                                                       = 28,000

Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.30

                                                       = $952,000

When variable expenses reduce by $3.40 per unit.

Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit

                                        = $193,800 / ($34.00 - $23.80 - $3.40 )

                                        = $193,800 / $6.80

                                        = 28,500 units

Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio

                                           = $193,800 / ($6.80/ $34.00)

                                           = $969,000

Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.20

                                                       = $1,428,000

Through which strategy do you believe Lockheed Martin would be most profitable to pursue diversification?

Answers

Answer: Related diversification

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Lockheed Martin has been a recognized brand in technology for aeronautics and space systems fordecades. The U.S. government is Lockheed Martin’s main customer. Recently, as large-scale military actions have decreased across the globe, the government has been consuming less of Lockheed Martin’sofferings.

As a top of executive of Lockheed Martin, you’ve been asked to consider the opportunities to diversify into new markets in order to remain competitive and continue to increase profits.

Through which strategy do you believe Lockheed Martin would be most profitable to pursue diversification?

Related diversification occurs when a business or an organization expands its activities into similar product lines that to the ones it currently offers.

An example of related diversification is when a computer manufacturer starts making calculators.

By pursuing related diversification, Martin is exploring innovative products which are still within aeronautics scope.

The risk-free rate is 4.5 percent and the market expected return is 10.8 percent. What is the expected return of a stock that has a beta of 1.30

Answers

Answer:

Expected return = 12.69%

Explanation:

The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock.. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.

Under CAPM,

E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

E(r)- expected return, Rf-risk-free rate , β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.

Using this model, we can work out the value of beta as follows:

β-1.30, Rf- 4.5%, Rm = 10.8%

E(r) = 4.5% +  1.30 × (10.8 - 4.5)%= 12.69

Expected return = 12.69%

Payback period =

Answers

Answer:

2.554 years

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

to derive cash flow from net income, add depreciation back

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

$140,000 / 5 = $28,000

depreciation expense each year would be $28,000

cash flow in year 1 = $9500 +  $28,000 = $37,500

cash flow in year 2= $23,500 + $28,000 =$51,500

cash flow in year 3 =$64,000 + $28,000 = $92,000

cash flow in year 4 =$35,500 + $28,000 = $63,500

cash flow in year 5 =$94,000 + $28,000 = $122,000

in year 1, the amount recovered = $-140,000 + $37,500 = $-102,500

in year 2, the amount recovered = $-102,500 + $51,500 = $-51,000

in year 3, the amount recovered =  $-51,000 + $92,000 = $41,000

the amount invested is recovered in 2 years + 51,000 / 92,000 = 2.554 years

Danaher Woodworking Corporation produces fine furniture. The company uses a job-order costing system in which its predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity. The capacity of the factory is determined by the capacity of its constraint, which is an automated lathe. Additional information is provided below for the most recent month: Estimates at the beginning of the month: Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Capacity of the lathe 400 hours Actual results: Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours Required: a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity. b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied. c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

Answers

Answer:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity.

$91 per lathe hour

b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied.

$34,580

c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

$1,820

Explanation:

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Capacity of the lathe 400 hours

predetermined overhead rate per lathe hour = $36,400 / 400 = $91

actual results:

Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours

applied overhead = $91 x 380 lathe hours = $34,580

cost of unused capacity = $36,400 - $34,580 = $1,820

Since I am in favor of bigger government, I choose a(n) _________________ in _________________.

Answers

Answer:

The choice of fiscal policy measures is between ___increased_____________ government spending and a ____decrease___________ in taxes. Since I am in favor of bigger government, I choose a(n) ____increase_____________ in ____governmental spending_____________.

Explanation:

Government employ two fiscal measures to drive the economy toward stability.  They are taxation and government expenditure.  Depending on the desired outcome and the prevailing circumstances, an increase in taxation reduces the propensity to consume, thus fueling increased savings and investments.  Increased government expenditure galvanizes the economy to grow and the increased expenditure acts as a stimulus to economic activities.  But fiscal policy measures are not used in isolation.  They are complemented by monetary policies by the Federal Reserve.

Hernandez, Inc. signed a ten-year noncancelable lease for a heavy duty drill press. The lease stipulated annual payments of $300,000 starting at the beginning of the first year, with title passing to Hernandez at the expiration of the lease. Hernandez treated this transaction as a operating lease. The drill press has an estimated useful life of 15 years, with no salvage value. Hernandez uses straight-line amortization for all of its plant assets. Aggregate lease payments were determined to have a present value of $1,800,000, based on implicit interest of 10%. What amount of amortization expense should be recorded for 2021?

Answers

Answer: $120,000

Explanation:

Depreciation is to be based on the cost of the asset being depreciated. In this scenario, the cost of the heavy duty drill press will be the Present Value of all the lease payments for the entire 10 years because it is said that the title will pass to Hernandez Inc. afterwards so the lease payments can be considered as payment.

Straight Line Amortisation = [tex]\frac{Cost of Asset - Salvage Value}{Estimated Useful Life}[/tex]

Straight Line Amortisation = [tex]\frac{1,800,000 - 0}{15}[/tex]

Straight Line Amortisation = $120,000 per year

Suppose the price level and value of the U.S. Dollar in year 1 are 1 and $1, respectively. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. If the price level rises to 1.55 in year 2, what is the new value of the dollar

Answers

Answer: $0.65

Explanation:

The Price Level and the value of a currency are inversely related because inflation erodes the value of the currency. Therefore if the price level increases, the value of the currency drops. The reverse is true.

The formula therefore is is;

New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{Price Level}[/tex]

New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{1.55}[/tex]

New Value = 0.6452

New Value = $0.65

A bond has a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and pays a coupon of 5.5% per year, annually. The bond is callable in ten years at $1,075. If the bond’s yield to maturity is 5.89% per year, what is its yield to call? Question 13 options: A) 5.87% B) 6.57% C) 6.11% D) 6.43% E) 6.68%

Answers

Answer:

6.68% , option E is correct

Explanation:

The price of the bond can be computed using the below formula for bond price calculation:

bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

face value is $1000

r is the yield to maturity which is 5.89%

coupon=face value*coupon rate=1000*5.5%=55

n is the number of coupons the bond would pay which is 11 coupons over 20 years

bond price=1000/(1+5.89%)^20+55*(1-(1+5.89%)^-20)/5.89%

bond price=$ 954.87  

The yield on the call can be determined using excel rate function as further explained below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupons the bond would pay before being called in ten years' time i.e 10 coupons

pmt is the is the amount of  annual coupon=$1000*5.5%=$55

pv is the current price of $954.87  

fv is the call price which is $1,075

=rate(10,55,-954.87,1075)=6.68%

Harmony Company sells handminusknit scarves. Each scarf sells for $ 45. The company pays $ 70 to rent vending space for one day. The variable costs are $ 12 per scarf. How many scarves should the company sell each day in order to break​ even? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole​ scarf.)

Answers

Answer:

2.12, rounded up to 3

Explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to set up an equation.

Let x represent the number of scarves. We want one side of the equation to be the amount earned and the other to be the cost

45x is how much they earn since each scarf is $45

70+12x is how much they cost for rent and production

45x=70+12x

Subtract 12x from both sides

33x=70

Divide both sides by 33

x=2.12

It says we should round up so 3 scarves to break even

The desired reserve ratio is 3 percent. Robert deposits​ $3,000 in Bank America. Bank America keeps its minimum desired reserves and lends the excess to Fredrica. How much does Bank America lend to​ Fredrica?

Answers

Answer: $2,910

Explanation:

Bank America is required by law to keep 3% of all deposits as reserves and they can lend the rest which they did to Fredrica.

The amount they lent to Fredrica therefore is;

= 3,000 (1 - 3%)

= 3,000 * 97%

= $2,910

Factory Overhead Rates, Entries, and Account Balance Eclipse Solar Company operates two factories. The company applies factory overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours in Factory 1 and on the basis of direct labor hours in Factory 2. Estimated factory overhead costs, direct labor hours, and machine hours are as follows: Factory 1 Factory 2 Estimated factory overhead cost for fiscal year beginning August 1 $18,500,000 $44,000,000 Estimated direct labor hours for year 800,000 Estimated machine hours for year 1,250,000 Actual factory overhead costs for August $1,515,800 $3,606,300 Actual direct labor hours for August 64,500 Actual machine hours for August 105,000 a. Determine the factory overhead rate for Factory 1. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Factory 1

Estimated factory overhead= $18,500,000  

Estimated machine hours for year 1,250,000

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= 18,500,000/1,250,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour

In a duopoly game we observe the following payouts: if the two firms collude they will each earn $50,000. If one firm cheats then he earns $60,000 and the other firm earns -$10,000. If both firms cheat then they each earn zero economic profit. In this game what is the Nash equilibrium?

Answers

Answer:

the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude

Explanation:

A duopoly is when there are two firms operating in an industry.

Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.

Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.

Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.

 the Nash equilibrium for both players is to collude because it is the best outcome for both players. if, a player cheats, there is a chance that the other player would cheat and both firms would end up earning a zero economic profit

Based on the various payoffs to be made, the Nash Equilibrium for this game would be that both firms should collude.

The Nash Equilibrium is the outcome that would be most beneficial for both firms to stay in. If either of them leave, they would incur losses.

If both firms decide to collude and one cheats, the other firm would cheat as well to avoid making a loss which would lead to both of them making zero economic profit.

Both firms will therefore collude so as to make $50,000 a piece.

In conclusion, the Nash Equilibrium is collusion between the two firms.

Panner, Inc., owns 30 percent of Watkins and applies the equity method. During the current year, Panner buys inventory costing $126,000 and then sells it to Watkins for $180,000. At the end of the year, Watkins still holds only $26,400 of merchandise. What amount of gross profit must Panner defer in reporting this investment using the equity method

Answers

Answer:

The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376

Explanation:

The cost of inventory = $126000

Selling price of inventory (revenue) = $180000

The remaining inventory with Watkins = $26400

Gross profit percentage = (revenue – cost) / revenue

Gross profit percentage = (180000 – 126000) / 180000 = 0.3 or 30%

Remaining value = $26400 × 30% = 7920

Ownership = 7920 × 30% = $2376

The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376

Reno contributed $104,000 in cash plus equipment valued at $27,000 to the RD Partnership. The journal entry to record the transaction for the partnership is:

Answers

Answer:

Debit cash $104,000; debit equipment $27,000; credit Reno, Capital $131,000.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Reno contributed $104,000 in cash plus equipment valued at $27,000 to the RD Partnership. The journal entry to record the transaction for the partnership is debit cash $104,000; debit equipment $27,000; credit Reno, capital $131,000.

In Financial accounting, debit refers to an entry made which would either increase an expense or asset account; therefore, decreasing an equity or liability account. Credit refers to an entry made which would either increase an equity or liability account; therefore, decreasing an expense or asset account.

Generally, debit is an accounting entry which is made to the left of an account while credit is an accounting entry which is made to the right of an account. The standard rule is that, when a credit decreases an account, the opposite account should be increased with a debit.

Hence, in this case the RD Partnership will debit the cash received, $104,000 plus equipment valued at $27,000. Also, the opposite account or receivable account (Reno, capital) would be credited with $131,000 ($104,000+$27,000 = $131,000).

You invest a single amount of $14,800 for 7 years at 15 percent. At the end of 7 years you take the proceeds and invest them for 14 years at 17 percent. How much will you have after 21 years

Answers

Answer:

Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11

Explanation:

The value of an amount invested at a certain rate of return for certain number of years where  interest compounded annually is known as the future value.

The future value of an investment can be determined using the future value formula. This formula is stated below:

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV - Future Value , PV- Present Value, r-rate of return, n- number of years

For the first round of investment 15% for 7 years, future value would be:

FV = 14,800 × (1.15)^(7) =   39,368.29  

Second round of investing 17% for 14 year, future value would be

FV = 39,368.29 × (1.17)^(14)= 354,608.11

Future Value =$354,608.11

Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11

Answers

Answer: $315,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Nichols Enterprises has an investment in 31,500 bonds of Elliott Electronics that Nichols accounts for as a security available for sale. Elliott bonds are publicly traded, and The Wall Street Journal quotes a price for those bonds of $10 per bond, but Nichols believes the market has not appreciated the full value of the Elliott bonds and that a more accurate price is $23 per bond.

To get the amount that Nichols should carry on the balance sheet as Elliott investment, we multiply the bond invested by the price per bond. This will be:

= 31,500 × $10

= $315,000
