Answer:
1) Financial advantage = $15,100
2) X15 should be processed further because it would generate 15,100
Explanation:
A company should process a product further if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
$
Sales revenue after further processing
(19×8,300) 157,700
Sales revenue at the split-off point
(16×8,300) 132,800
Additional sales revenue from further processing 24,900
Less further processing cost (9,800)
Financial advantage 15,100
Financial advantage = $15,100
X15 should be processed further because it would generate 15,100
Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cozy. Labor costs will go from $1.76 to $2.26 per unit. Assume all period and variable costs as reported on Chester's Income Statement remain the same. If Chester were to pass on half the new labor costs to their customers, how many units of product Cozy would need to be sold next round to break even on the product
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question. The concluding parts are assuming the following;
Selling price per unit = $54
Current total variable cost = $24.50
Total fixed cost = $69,000
New variable cost will increase by ($2.26 - $1.76)/2 = $0.25
New variable cost will be = ($24.50 + $0.25) = $24.75
Contribution margin = ($54 - $24.75) = $29.25
New fixed cost = ($0.25 × 2,339) + $69,000 = $69,585
Note:
Old break even units = $69,000/$29.5 = 2,335 units
Therefore,
New break even units
= Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $69,585/$29.5
= 2,397 units
Cozy would have to sell 2,397 units as opposed to 2,335 units in order to break even.
Determine if there was a percent increase or decrease in the number of trench coats sold, and by how much. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
a.
The percentage of trench coats sold decreased by 0.8%.
b.
The percentage of trench coats sold increased by 0.8%.
c.
The percentage of trench coats sold decreased by 23.3%.
d.
The percentage of trench coats sold increased by 23.3%.
Answer:
D. increase of 23.3%, right on edge
Explanation:
to find the percentage increase, first you need to substract the final from the initial, then divide the difference by the initial, then multiply your answer by 100 to get the percentage
in this case, the final is 127, and the initial is 103
127 - 103 = 24
24 ÷ 103 = 0.233
0.233 x 100 = 23.3%
Answer:
✅ D. The percentage of trench coats sold increased by 23.3%.Baker Company, an Ohio company that sells a branded product regionally to retail customers in Midwest. It normally sells its product for $40 per unit; however, it has received a one-time offer from a private-brand company on the West Coast to buy 1,000 units at $25 per unit. Even though the company has excess capacity to produce the units, the president of the company immediately rejected the offer; however, the chief accountant stated that it might be a profitable opportunity for the company, even though $25 is below its unit cost of $28, calculated as follows:
Cost
Direct material $12.00
Direct labor 8.00
Depreciation and other fixed costs 6.00
Total unit cost $26.00
Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order:
a. $5,000
b. ($5,000)
c. $25,000
d. ($25,000)
Answer:
Effect on income= $5,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
One-time offer:
1,000 units at $25 per unit.
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Unitary cost= 12 + 8= $20
Effect on income= 1,000*(25 - 20)
Effect on income= $5,000 increase
For a given product demand, the time-series trend equation is 53 - 4 x. The negative sign on the slope of the equation:
a. is a mathematical impossibility.
b. is an indication that the forecast is biased, with forecast values lower than actual values.
c. is an indication that product demand is declining.
d. implies that the coefficient of determination will also be negative.
e. implies that the cumulative error will be negative.
Answer: is an indication that product demand is declining.
Explanation:
The negative sign on the slope of the time-series trend equation simply explains that the product demand is declining.
A negative slope indicates that two variables are negatively related which implies that when the value of x increases, rhen the value of y decreases, and vice versa. When putting this in a graph, the line falls when the line that's on the line graph shifts from left to right.
The correct option is C
As the Consumer Price Index increases, the value of money a. falls, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want. b. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. c. rises, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. d. rises, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want.
Answer:
D. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want.
Explanation:
In the case when the consumer price index rises, so the value of the money declines as the people would hold more money in order to purchase the goods and services what actually they want
Also it shows an inverse relationship between the consumer price index and the value of money i.e. if one thing is increased the other thing would decrease and vice versa
Therefore the option d is correct

Its cash expenses will be $1.0 million while depreciation expense will be $300,000. What is the expected free cash flow from taking the project if the marginal tax rate for the firm is 25 percent
Answer:
$1,425,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the expected free cash flow
Expected revenue$2,800,000
[(40%*$4 million)+(60%*$2 million)]
Less Cash Expenses $1,000,000
Less Depreciation Expense $300,000
EBIT$1,500,000
($2,800,000-$1,000,000-$300,000)
Tax $375,000
(25%*$1,500,000)
Net Income $1,125,000
($1,500,000-$375,000)
Add Depreciation Expense $300,000
Free Cash Flow $1,425,000
($1,125,000+$300,000)

Principal Printing produces custom labels and stationery for companies. In conducting CVP analysis of its Personalized Package, management decided to determine how many of the packages would need to be sold in order to justify continuing the product line. Management determined that fixed costs direct related to this particular product amounted to $54,000 annually. Principal reported $240,000 of gross sales related to this product and variable product costs of $180,000. Assuming that each Personalized Package sells for $12 per unit, what is the minimum amount of total sales dollars of Personalized Packages that Principal needs in order to justify the product line
Answer:
18,000 personalized packages
Explanation:
Profit-volume ratio = ($240,000 - $180,000) / $240,000
Profit-volume ratio = 0.25
Profit-volume ratio= 25%
Break-Even-Point = $54,000 / 25%
Break-Even-Point = 216,000
The minimum personalized packages that needs to sell to break even:
= Break-Even-Point / Personalized Package sales per unit
= 216,000 / $12
= 18,000 personalized packages
At the beginning of year 1, Kare Company initiated a quality improvement program. Considerable effort was expended over two years to reduce the number of defective units produced. By the end of the second year, reports from the production manager revealed that scrap and rework had both decreased. The president of the company was pleased to hear of the success but wanted some assessment of the financial impact of the improvements. To make this assessment, the following financial data were collected for the two years. Year 1 Year 2 Sales $ 10,000,000 $ 10,000,000 Scrap 400,000 300,000 Rework 600,000 400,000 Product inspection 100,000 125,000 Product warranty 800,000 600,000 Quality training 40,000 80,000 Materials inspection 60,000 40,000 Required: a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure. b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years. b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2
Answer:
a. The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. We have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = 1.65%
b-2. Profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.
Explanation:
a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure.
The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years.
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales = ((Product inspection + Material inspection) / Sales) * 100 ………………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = (($100,000 + $60,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = (($125,000 + $40,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.65%
b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2?
To calculate the profit associated to quality, only costs associated to quality are deducted from Sales as follows:
Profit associated to quality = Sales - Scrap - Rework - Product inspection - Materials inspection ……… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $10,000,000 - $400,000 - $600,000 - $100,000 - $60,000 = $8,840,000
Profit associated to quality for Year 2 = $10,000,000 - $300,000 - $400,000 - $125,000 - $40,000 = $9,135,000
Therefore, we have:
Increase in profit because of quality improvements = Profit associated to quality for Year 2 - Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $9,135,000 - $8,840,000 = $295,000
Therefore, profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.
Calculate the annual cash flows of a $2 million, 10-year fixed-payment deferred annuity earning a guaranteed 8 percent per year if annual payments are to begin at the end of the sixth (6th) year.
Answer:
$437,946.42
Explanation:
Present Value of Deferred Annuity = $2,000,000
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,000,000*(1.08)^5
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,938,656.15
Calculation of Annual Payment from Annuity using the TVM
Annual payment = PMT [PV, FV, N, I]
Annual payment = PMT [2,938,656.15, 0, 10, 0.08]
Annual payment = $437,946.42
So, the Annual Payment from annuity is $437,946.42.
The price of a dozen eggs falls from $3 to $2.70. In response to this price change, the quantity supplied of eggs falls from 150,000 dozen eggs to 125,000 dozen eggs. What is the price elasticity of supply for eggs
Answer:
Price elasticity of supply=1.67
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply is a measure of the degree of responsive of supply to a change in price . It is computed using the formula below:
% change in Quantity supply/% change in price
% change in Quantity supply= 125,000-150,000/150,000× 100=16.67%
% change in price = (2.70-3.00)/3.00× 100= 10.00%
Price elasticity of supply = 16.67/10.00=1.67
Price elasticity of supply=1.67
Donkey Inc. has a fleet of 10 large trucks that cost a total of $1,410,000. The fleet is expected to be driven a total of 1,000,000 miles during its estimated 10-year life and be sold for $141,000 at the end of its useful life. If the fleet was driven 125,000 miles during the current year, what is the amount of depreciation that would be calculated using the straight-line and units-of-production methods, respectively
Answer:
$126,900
$125,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) / 10 = $126900
Activity method based on activity = (miles that year / total miles expected to be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) x ( 125,000 / 1,000,000) = 125,000

Diamond Boot Factory normally sells its specialty boots for $22 a pair. An offer to buy 120 boots for $18 per pair was made by an organization hosting a national event in Norfolk. The variable cost per boot is $8, and special stitching will add another $2 per pair to the cost. Determine the differential income or loss per pair of boots from selling to the organization.
Answer:
Differential income = $960
Explanation:
In a special order decision , the offer should be accepted if the sales revenue from the order is greater than the relevant costs of the special orders.
The relevant costs of the special order = variable cost + additional cost of special stitching machine
$
Sales revenue (120× $18) 2,160
The relevant costs of the special order
= (120×8) + (120×2) (1,200)
Differential income 960

Michael Corporation manufactures railroad cars, which is its only product. The standards for the railroad cars are as follows:
Standard tons of direct material (steel) per car 4
Standard cost per ton of steel $ 17.00
During the month of March, the company produced 1,650 cars.
Related production data for the month follows:
Actual materials purchased and used (tons) 6,650
Actual direct materials total cost $ 115,000
What is the direct materials quantity variance for the month?
A) $ 850 favorable
B) $ 850 unfavorable
C) $ 1,950 favorable
D) $ 1,950 unfavorable
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $850 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard tons of direct material (steel) per car 4
Standard cost per ton of steel $ 17.00
During March, the company produced 1,650 cars.
Actual materials purchased and used (tons) 6,650
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (4*1,650 - 6,650)*17
Direct material quantity variance= $850 unfavorable
Identify whether the actions or scenarios would likely increase or decrease the natural rate of unemployment. You are currently in a sorting module. Turn off browse mode or quick nav, Tab to items, Space or Enter to pick up, Tab to move, Space or Enter to drop. Increases natural rate of unemployment reducing workers' collective bargaining rights extra financial benefits for the unemployed a large number of young people entering the labor force an increase in union membership Decreases natural rate of unemployment
Answer:
increases natural rate of unemployment
extra financial benefits for the unemployed
a large number of young people entering the labor force
an increase in union membership
Decreases natural rate of unemployment
reducing workers' collective bargaining rights
Explanation:
natural rate of unemployment is unemployment that exists when there is only structural and frictional unemployment in an economy
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
If the unemployed are given extra benefits, there would be less incentive to find a job, thus unemployment would increase
An increase in union membership increases bargaining power of employees. this can lead to increase in wages. increase in wages reduces demand for labour and this increases unemployment. reducing collective bargaining right has the opposite effect on unemployment
a large number of people entering the labour force increases frictional unemployment

SAP Inc. received a $1.5 million grant under its Small Business Innovation program. SAP invested the grant money and developed a system to remove metal contaminants from storm water in shipyards. The firm estimates that each shipyard spends $500,000 a year on storm water clean-up efforts. If SAP is able to sign up and retain four shipyards in the first year onwards, what is the present value (PV) of the project (net of investment) if the cost of capital for SAP is 14% per year
Answer: $12,785,714
Explanation:
Present value of project:
= Revenue / Cost of capital
= (500,000 * 4 shipyards) / 14%
= $14,285,714
Net of investment:
= 14,285,714 - 1,500,000
= $12,785,714
When the interest rate is above the equilibrium level, a. the quantity of money that people want to hold is less than the quantity of money that the Federal Reserve has supplied. b. people respond by buying interest-bearing bonds or by depositing money in interest-bearing bank accounts. c. bond issuers and banks respond by lowering the interest rates they offer. d. All of the above are correct.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
When interest rate is above the equilibrium level, people would be less willing to hold cash. Instead they would prefer to save or invest in interest-bearing bonds. This is because as a result of the higher interest rate, interest paid on their deposit and investment would be higher.
As a result of the increase in savings, there would be an increase in the supply of loanable funds over demand for loanable funds. This would lead to a reduction in interest rate until equilibrium interest rate is reached.

The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.70. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $3.6 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return.
Required:
a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell.
b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
c. Calculate the present value of growth opportunities.
d. Suppose your research convinces you Analog will announce momentarily that it will immediately reduce its plowback ratio to 1/3. Find the intrinsic value of the stock.
Answer:
a $7.95
b. $2.21
c $16.36
d, $13.01
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 2/3 = 1/3
1/3 x 3.6 = $1.2
r = cost of equity
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
5% + 1.7(15 - 5) = 22%
g = growth rate
g = plowback rate x ROE
2/3 X 9 = 6%
1. [1.2 x 1.06] / (0.22 - 0.06) = 1.272/ 0.16 = $7.95
2.
The price to earning ratio is a financial metric used to value a company. it compares the price of a stock to the earnings of the stock. the lower the metric is, the higher the valuation of the firm
price to earning ratio = market value per share / earnings
$7.95 / $3.6 = $2.21
c. present value of growth opportunities = earnings / cost of equity
3.6 / 0.22 = $16.36
d.
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 1/3 = 2/3
2/3 x 3.6 = $2.40
r = cost of equity = 22%
g = plowback rate x ROE
1/3 X 9 = 3%
[2.4 x 1.03] / (0.22 - 0.03) = 2.472/ 0.19 = $13.01
One reason why "protecting domestic jobs" is a poor argument against free trade is because A. there is little evidence that trade protection saves domestic jobs. B. the cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs. C. labor in other countries is not priced lower than U.S. labor. D. any outsourcing of jobs from the U.S. is completely offset by outsourcing of jobs from other countries.
Answer: Cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs.
Explanation:
Protectionism is when the local industries in a country are protected against foreign competition in order to help them grow.
One of the main ideas behind free trade is for the consumers to be provided with affordable and low prices goods when there's a free movement of goods between the countries.
It should be noted that an increase in the labour cost will also.bring about an increase in the value of jobs and this can result to the goods being sold at a higher price. Therefore the correct option is B "cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs".

A
Explanation:
Chris Co. produces sports equipment and is currently producing 1,000 mini long boards annually. A supplier has offered to produce the boards for Chris Co. for $300 per board. Chris Co. incurs unit-level costs of $280 per unit. Chris also spends $25,000 on product design each year and incurs $50,000 of facility-level costs. The avoidable production cost for Chris to produce one mini long board is
Answer: $305
Explanation:
The avoidable production cost for Chris to produce one mini long board goes thus:
Unit Level Cost = $280
Add: Product Level Cost = $25,000 / 1000 units = $25
Then, the avoidable cost to produce one unit will be:
= $280 + $25
= $305
