Answer:
The investor believes the stocks in the portfolio will perform better than the market but is uncertain about the future performance of the market
Explanation:
Hedging can be regarded as strategies
utilize by investors so that there would be a reduction in exposure to risk especially in event whereby asset in their portfolio can experience
sudden price decline. It's a strategy that reduce uncertainty as well as losses. It should be noted that one of the reason for hedging a long-only portfolio with an index futures is that investor believes the stocks in the portfolio will perform better than the market but is uncertain about the future performance of the market
There are different reason for hedging a long only portfolio with an index futures. The option that is a reason for hedging a portfolio with an index futures is that;
The investor believes the stocks in the portfolio will perform better than the market but is uncertain about the future performance of the market.Note that index futures can be used to as a means to remove the influence of the performance of the overall market on the portfolio.
When the market is said to be doing well, that is hedging against the performance of the market is not right and therefore Hedging cannot be a means to right any wrong for a poorly diversified portfolio.

On November 2, 2020, Ellie purchased and placed in service a building that cost $5,600,000. An appraisal determined that 15% of the total cost was attributed to the value of the land. The bottom floor of the building is leased annually to a retail business for $80,000. The other floors of the building are rental apartments with an annual rent of $350,000.A. How is the property classified for MACRS? B. What is the life of the asset for MACRS?C. Ellie's cost recovery for 2018 is_____.
Answer:
Ellie
A. The property is classified for 27.5-year MACRS since more than 80% of the gross rental income emanates from residential dwellings.
B. The life of the asset for this type of MACRS is 27.5 years.
C. Ellie's cost recovery for 2020/2018 is $28,848.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of building and land = $5,600,000
Appraised cost of land = $840,000 ($5,600,000 * 15%)
Appraised cost of building = $4,760,000 ( ($5,600,000 * 85%)
Rent from the bottom floor leased to a retail business = $80,000
Rent from the other floors as rental apartments = $350,000
Total value of rental income = $430,000
Retail business % of rental income = 19%
Residential apartments % of rental income = 81%
Cost recovery = $173,091 ($4,760,000/27.5) per annum
For 2 months, the cost recovery = $28,848 ($173,091 * 2/12)
g 2. Two individuals, Susan and Bill, are involved in a bitter dispute over splitting a small prize of £1000. The prize donator, who acts as an independent arbitrator, rules that if an agreement cannot be reached between the two individuals within two months then they will each receive one third of the prize with the remainder going to charity. They are allowed two chances to settle: Susan can make an offer to Bill immediately which he can either accept or reject. If Bill rejects this offer, he can make an alternative offer to Susan one month from now. Bill is more impatient than Susan and so their monthly discount factors are different, δS for Susan and δB for Bill (0 < δB < δS < 1). (i) Determine the minimum offer Susan can propose now that Bill will certainly accept. 1 (ii) If δS = 9/10 for what range of discount values δB would result in Bill agreeing to accept less than half the prize money immediately? (iii) Given different discount rates δB and δS, what would the outcome be for the infinite horizon game where the alternating offers continue forever?
Answer:
(i) The minimum offer Susan can propose now that Bill will certainly accept is x* = (1000 / 3) * δ[tex]_{B}[/tex] * (3 - δ[tex]_{S}[/tex]).
(ii) The range of discount values that would result in Bill agreeing to accept less than half the prize money immediately is 0 < δ[tex]_{B}[/tex] < 5/7.
(iii) Given different discount rates and , the outcome for the infinite horizon game where the alternating offers continue forever would be as follows:

There are many concerns for risk-averse lenders. Consider the following: 1. Lenders are concerned that borrowers with the greatest risk are the ones most likely to actively pursue loans. 2. Lenders are concerned that real GDP will decline leading to reduced corporate profits. 3. Lenders are concerned that products produced by certain corporations will become obsolete. a. 1 is market risk; 2 is firm-specific risk b. 2 is market risk; 3 is firm-specific risk c. 3 is market risk; 1 is firm-specific risk d. 2 is firm-specific risk; 3 is market risk
Answer:
b. 2 is market risk ; 3 is firm specific risk.
Explanation:
Market risk is the one which is not in the control of the organization and it can not be avoided. Firm specific risk is the business internal risk which a company chooses with it will. In the given scenario the market risk is the concern that real GDP will decline and the profit will be reduced. The product obsolete risk is business specific risk.
CDF Inc. is contemplating the acquisition of Pogo Company. The values of the two companies as separate entities are $20 million and $10 million, respectively. CDF estimates that by combining the two companies, it will reduce marketing and administrative costs by $500,000 per year in perpetuity. CDF can either pay $14 million cash for Pogo or offer Pogo a 55% holding in CDF. If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%,a. What is the gain from merger? b. What is the cost of the cash offer? c. What is the cost of the sock alternative? d. What is the NPV of the acquisition under the cash offer? e. What is the NPV under the stock offer?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the gain from merger?
This will be calculated by dividing the cost savings by the opportunity cost of capital. This will be:
= $500,000 / 10%
= $500,000 / 0.1
= $5,000,000
= $5 million
b. What is the cost of the cash offer?
This will be the difference between the cash cash paid and the value of the firm acquired which will be:
= $14 million - $10 million
= $4 million
c. What is the cost of the sock alternative?
First, we calculate the value of the merged company which will be:
= $20 million + $10 million + $5 million
= $35 million
Then, cost of stock alternative will be:
= (35 million x 55%) – $10 million
= ($35 million × 0.55) - $10 million
= $19.25 million - $10 million
= $9.25 million
d. What is the NPV of the acquisition under the cash offer?
This will be:
= $5 million - $4 million
= $1 million
e. What is the NPV under the stock offer?
This will be:
= $5 million - $9.25 million
= -$4.25 million

A company must repay the bank a single payment of $20,000 cash in 3 years for a loan it entered into. The loan is at 8% interest compounded annually. The present value of 1 (single sum) at 8% for 3 years is 0.7938. The present value of an annuity (series of payments) at 8% for 3 years is 2.5771. The present value of the loan (rounded) is: Multiple Choice $15,876. $20,000. $25,195. $7,761. $51,542.
Answer:
Present Value of the loan = $19999.36 rounded off to $20000
Explanation:
The present value of loan will comprise of the present value of the principal amount of loan plus the present value of the interest that the loan will charge for the 3 year time period for which it is outstanding. As the interest payments are fixed and occur after equal intervals of time, they are considered an annuity.
To calculate the present value of the loan, we must discount the interest payments using the present value factor of annuity given in the question as 2.5771 and we must discount the principal to present value using the present value factor given in question as 0.7938.
We will first calculate the annual interest payment on loan.
Annual Interest payment = 20000 * 0.08 = 1600
Present value of the Interest payment - annuity = 1600 * 2.5771
Present value of the Interest payment - annuity = $4123.36
Present value of the Principal loan = 20000 * 0.7938
Present value of the Principal loan = $15876
Present Value of the loan = 15876 + 4123.36
Present Value of the loan = $19999.36 rounded off to $20000

Suppose you are an aide to a U.S. Senator who is concerned about the impact of a recently proposed excise tax on the welfare of her constituents. You explained to the Senator that one way of measuring the impact on her constituents is to determine how the tax change affects the level of consumer surplus enjoyed by the constituents. Based on your arguments, you are given the go-ahead to conduct a formal analysis, and obtain the following estimates of demand and supply:
Qd=500-5P
Qs-2P-60
(a) What are the equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price? Graph your solution.
(b) If a $2 excise tax is levied on this good, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity? Show the changes in your graph from part (a).
(c) How much tax revenue does the government earn with the $2 tax?
Answer:
(a) P = 80 and Q= 100
(b) P = 80.57 and Q= 97.15
(c) Tax revenue = 194.3
Explanation:
Qd= 500 - 5P
Qs = 2P - 60
(a)
In equilibrium
[tex]Qd = Qs \\500 - 5P = 2P - 60 \\7P = 560 \\P = 80 \\[/tex]
Putting this value of P back into the Qd or Qs equation
[tex]Qd = 500 - 5p\\Q = 500 - 5 (80) \\Q = 500 - 400 \\Q = 100[/tex]
Thus, equilibrium price is 80 and equilibrium quantity is 100
(b)
When a tax is imposed the supply curve shifts up to the left by the amount of the tax. The new supply curve is given by
[tex]Qs = 2(P-2) - 60 \\Qs = 2p - 4 - 60 \\Qs = 2P - 64[/tex]
The new equilibrium is
[tex]Qd = Qs \\500 - 5P = 2P - 64 \\7P = 564\\P = 80.57 \\[/tex]
Substitute it into Qs or Qd we get
[tex]Q = 500 - 5 (80.57 ) \\Q = 97.15[/tex]
(c)
[tex]Tax revenue = Tax rate * Quantity \\ = 2 * 97.15\\ = 194.3[/tex]
a. At equilibrium the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity that was supplied.
Qd = Qs
500 - 5p = 2p - 60
We collect like terms from here
500+60 = 2p+5p
560 = 7p
p = 560/7
p = 80 dollars.
Therefore the equilibrium price is 80 dollars.
The equilibrium quantity
Qd = 500 - 5p
= 500-5*80
= 500-400
= 100
The equilibrium quantity is 100
b. Qs = 2p+60
2p = Qs + 60
divide through by 2
p = 0.5Qs + 30
P = 0.5Qs + 30 + t
where we have tax = t = 2
= 0.5Qs + 30 + 2
= 0.5Qs + 32
p - 32 = 0.5Qs
divide through by 0.5
Qs = 2p - 64
The demand function is still the same at Qd = 500 - 5P.
At equilibrium: Qd = Qs
2P- 64 = 500-5P
collect like terms
7P = 500+64
7P = 564
divide through by 7
P = 564/7
P = $80.57
When we put this in the demand function
Q = 500-5P
Q = 500-5*80.57
Q = 97.14
This is the equilibrium quantity
500-5*80.57
= 400-402.85
= 97.15 dollars
c. the tax revenue = 2x97.15
= 194.3 dollars

Patricia and Joe Payne are divorced. The divorce settlement stipulated that Joe pay $550 a month for their daughter Suzanne until she turns 18 in 3 years. Interest is 6% a year. How much must Joe set aside today to meet the settlement? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
Present Value= $18,079.05
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly payment= $550
Number of months= 3*12= 36 months
Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005
To calculate the lump sum to set aside to pay the settlement, first, we need to calculate the future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {550*[(1.005^36) - 1]} / 0.005
FV= $21,634.85
Now, the present value:
PV= FV / (1+i)^n
PV= 21,634.85 / (1.005^36)
PV= $18,079.05
In the production of a wooden chair within the circular flow model, what would the resource market include?
A
furtniture company
B
office supply company
forest
D
wooden chairs
Answer:
forest/trees
Explanation:
If in the textile markets we know that two brands, X and Z, are substitutes. Suppose that the supply of X increases and, at the same time, the supply of the Z decreases. Other things being equal, what would be the expectations for the change in the equilibrium quantities in the two markets
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity of X increases and that of z decreases.
Explanation:
If two goods are substitutes then 1 can be used in the place of the other. As supply of Z falls, we would have market demand to be greater than supply. This brings about a price rise. The price rise will make consumers of Z to want it less and opt for a cheaper good X. Increase in the demand for X causes its supply to rise in the market.
So we would have increase in equilibrium quantity of X and that of Z would fall.

(Land’s End) Geoff Gullo owns a small firm that manufactures "Gullo Sunglasses." He has the opportunity to sell a particular seasonal model to Land’s End. Geoff offers Land’s End two purchasing options: ∙ Option 1. Geoff offers to set his price at $65 and agrees to credit Land’s End $53 for each unit Land’s End returns to Geoff at the end of the season (because those units did not sell). Since styles change each year, there is essentially no value in the returned merchandise. ∙ Option 2. Geoff offers a price of $55 for each unit, but returns are no longer accepted. In this case, Land’s End throws out unsold units at the end of the season. This season’s demand for this model will be normally distributed with mean of 200 and standard deviation of 125. Land’s End will sell those sunglasses for $100 each. Geoff ’s production cost is $25. a. How much would Land’s End buy if they chose option 1? [14.3] b. How much would Land’s End buy if they chose option 2? [14.3] c. Which option will Land’s End choose? [14.4] d. Suppose Land’s End chooses option 1 and orders 275 units. What is Geoff Gullo’s expected profit? [14.4]
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
a)
Answer-a with option-1
the land end sale price is $100, purchase cost is $65 and salvege valu is $53
So the underage cost = Cu = 100-65 = 35 and overage cost = Co = 65-53 = 12
the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 35/47 = 0.7422
From the standard normal distribution function The Z value at 0.7422 = 0.66
The optimal order quantity = 200 + 0.66 x 125 = 282.5
The optimal order quantity = 282.5
b)
Answer-b with option-1
the land end sale price is $100, purchase cost is $55 and salvage value is $0
So the underage cost = Cu = 100-55 = 45 and overage cost = Co = 55-0 = 55
the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 45/100 = 0.45
From the standard normal distribution function The Z value at 0.45 = -0.12
the optimal order quantity = 200 - 0.12 x 125
The optimal order quantity = 185
c)
We have to calculate the expected profit in each case to determine which option Lands Ends should choose.
With option-1 Geoff's sells 282.5 units at $65 for total revenue of 18363 and production cost of 282.5 = 7063
Geoff credits Lands ends for each returned sunglass so we need to evaluate how many sunglasses Land Ends return.
Expected lost sales = 125 x 0.1528 = 19.1
Expected sales = 200 - 19.1 = 180.9
expected left over inventory = 282.5 - 180.9 = 101.6
Expected profit = (100-65) x 180.9 - (65-53)x 101.6 = 5112
Expected profit = 5112
Similarly with option 2 the Expected profit = 4053
So option-1 is preferred.
d)
If the Land chooses option-1 and orders 275 units Then Geoff earn = 275 x $65 = $17875
and production cost = $25 x 275 = $6875
With order quantity 275 the z statistics = 0.6
and expected lost sales = 125 x 0.6 = 21.09
Expected left over inventory = 275-200+21.09 = 96.09
So the Geoff's buy back cost = 96.09 x 53 = $5093
and expected profit = $17875 - $5093 = $5907
expected profit = $5907
(A)The optimal order quantity = 282.5
(B) The optimal order quantity = 185
(C) Expected profit = 4053
(D) Expected profit = $5907
What is Optical order quantity?a) Answer-a with option-1
When the land end sale price is $100, the purchase cost is $65 and also the salvage value is $53
So the underage cost is = Cu = 100-65 = 35 and
overage cost is = Co = then is 65-53 = 12 the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu+Co) = 35/47 = 0.7422
From the quality Gaussian distribution function The Z value at 0.7422 is = 0.66
Then, The optimal order quantity is = 200 + 0.66 x 125 = 282.5
Thus, The optimal order quantity = 282.5
b) Answer-b with option-1
When the land end sale price is $100, the purchase cost is $55 and also the salvage value is $0
So the underage cost is = Cu = 100-55 = 45 and overage cost is = Co = 55-0 = 55
the critical ratio = Cu/(Cu + Co) = 45/100 = 0.45
From the quality Gaussian distribution function The Z value at 0.45 = -0.12
Then the optimal order quantity = 200 - 0.12 x 125
Thus, The optimal order quantity is = 185
c) Then We have to calculate the expected profit in each case to work out which option Lands Ends should choose.
With option-1 Geoff's sells 282.5 units at $65 for total revenue of 18363 and a cost of 282.5 = 7063
When Geoff credits Lands ends for every returned sunglass so we want to judge what number of sunglasses Land Ends returns.
Then the Expected lost sales is = 125 x 0.1528 = 19.1
After that Expected sales is = 200 - 19.1 = 180.9
Then expected left over inventory is = 282.5 - 180.9 = 101.6
After that Expected profit is = (100-65) x 180.9 - (65-53)x 101.6 = 5112
Thus, Expected profit is = 5112
Similarly, with option 2, the Expected profit is = 4053
So option-1 is preferred.
d) If the Land chooses option-1 and also orders 275 units Then Geoff earn = 275 x $65 = $17875 and also the cost is = $25 x 275 = $6875
With order quantity 275 the z statistics = 0.6 and also expected lost sales = 125 x 0.6 = 21.09
Then Expected left over inventory is = 275-200+21.09 = 96.09
So the Geoff's repurchase cost = 96.09 x 53 = $5093
and also expected profit is = $17875 - $5093 = $5907
Thus, Expected profit is = $5907

Joseph shops for sugar at the grocery store. There are two types of sugar to choose from: a two-pound bag and a five-pound bag. If Joseph buys six two-pound bags and three five-pound bags, he will owe the store $24. If he buys three two-pound bags and one five-pound bag, he will owe the store $10. What is the price for a five-pound bag of sugar?
Answer:
$4
Explanation:
Let T = number of two pound sugar bags
and F = number of five pound sugar bags
6T + 3F = 24
3T + 1F = 10
F = 10 - 3T
replace in first equation
6T + [3 x (10 - 3T)] = 24
6T + 30 - 9T = 24
6 = 3T
T = $2
F = 10 - (3 X $2) = $10 - $6 = $4
On December 30, 2014, Yang Corporation granted compensatory stock options for 5,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock to certain of its key employees. The options may be exercised after 2 years of employment. Market price of the common stock on that date was $30 per share and the option price was $30 per share. Using a fair value option pricing model, total compensation expense is determined to be $80,000. The options are exercisable beginning January 1, 2017, providing those key employees are still in the employ of the company at the time the options are exercised. The options expire on January 1, 2018.
Required:
Prepare the following selected journal entries for the company
a. December 30, 2014.
b. December 31, 2015.
c. January 1, 2017, assuming 90% of the options were exercised at that date.
d. January 1, 2018, for the 10% of the options that expired
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The selected journal entries for the company has been prepared and attached. Note that:
Cash on January 1, 2017 was calculated as: = (30 × 5000 × 90%)
= 30 × 5000 × 0.9
= $135000
Paid in capital - stock options was calculated as:
= (80000 × 90%)
= $80000 × 0.9
= $72000
Common stock was gotten as: (5000× 90% × 1)
= $5000 × 0.9 × 1

Marcy's, Inc., operates department stores located primarily in the Southwest, Southeast, and Midwest. In its 2016 third-quarter report, the company reported Cost of Goods Sold of $2,100 million, ending inventory for the third quarter of $3,200 million, and ending inventory for the previous quarter of $2,800 million. Estimate merchandise purchases for the third quarter.
Answer:
$2,500 million
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate merchandise purchases for the third quarter
Using this formula
Third quarter merchandise purchases= Ending inventory + Cost of goods sold - Beginning inventory
Let plug in the formula
Third quarter merchandise purchases= $3,200 million + $2,100 million - $2,800 million
Third quarter merchandise purchases= $2,500 million
Therefore The Estimated merchandise purchases for the third quarter will be $2,500 million
Say you are planning to start a new business. You expect to have losses for the first 2 years and then achieve significant profits. But, in order to grow, you will need to be able to keep the after-tax earnings. You also want to limit your liability. How will you structure your business regarding issuing debt versus increasing equity and why
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
It is perfectly natural that the loss will occur at the start. Since it is not able to pay fixed interest obligations, a preferential or equity capital increase is recommended. The debt fund will create a financial crisis in the capital structure because it will be difficult for the company to fulfil its payment obligation on the initial stage.
The composition of debt capital will contribute to a certain tax savings, but it will certainly increase the overall outflow of the fund.
For Example:
Total Capital is 1,000,000 costing of 500,00 debt and 500,000 equity and 40 % tax bracket.
Suppose total return is 10% on capital.
Earnings for the year : 1,000,000 * 10 % = 100,000
Interest obligation (assume borrowed at 12 % ) = 60,000
Profit before tax = 40,000
Tax at the rate 40% = 16,000
Earning after tax available for growth = 24,000
Total capital only consists of equities in this example.
The earnings will be same = 100,000
Less tax at the rate 40 % = 40,000
Net earnings available for future growth = 60,000
We have an extra earnings available for future growth is 36,000 (60,000 - 24,000).
Ignore tax saving 24,000 (40,000 - 16,000) Because the enterprise requires more for future growth following tax earnings at the initial stage.
So,
The business was structured to maximize the use of own resources instead of borrowing the fund.

High Country, Inc., produces and sells many recreational products. The company has just opened a new plant to produce a folding camp cot that will be marketed throughout the United States. The following cost and revenue data relate to May, the first month of the plant’s operation: Beginning inventory 0 Units produced 47,000 Units sold 42,000 Selling price per unit $ 84 Selling and administrative expenses: Variable per unit $ 4 Fixed (per month) $ 560,000 Manufacturing costs: Direct materials cost per unit $ 17 Direct labor cost per unit $ 7 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit $ 3 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month) $ 893,000
Management is anxious to assess the profitability of the new camp cot during the month of May.
Required:
1. Assume that the company uses absorption costing.
a. Calculate the unit product cost.
b. Prepare an income statement for May.
2. Assume that the company uses variable costing.
a. Calculate the unit product cost.
b. Prepare a contribution format income statement for May.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary product cost= 17 + 7 + 3 + (893,000 / 47,000)
Unitary product cost= 27 + 19
Unitary product cost= $46
Now the income statement:
Sales= 42,000*84= 3,528,000
COGS= (42,000*46)= (1,932,000)
Gross profit= 1,596,000
Total Selling and administrative expenses= (42,000*4) + 560,000= (728,000)
Net operating profit= 868,000
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary variable product cost= 17 + 7 + 3
Unitary variable product cost= $27
Now, the income statement:
Sales= 3,528,000
Total variable cost= 42,000*(27 + 4)= (1,302,000)
Total contribution margin= 2,226,000
Total fixed manufacturing cost= (893,000)
Total Selling and administrative expenses= (560,000)
Net operating profit= 773,000
Thomas entered a four-year sales-type lease with a lessee. The lease is for equipment with a fair value of $40,000, a cost of $34,000, and a residual value of $7,000. The lease has an implicit rate of 6%. The present value factor of a single sum for four periods at 6% is .79209, and the present value factor of an ordinary annuity for four periods at 6% is 3.46511. What amount of gross profit will Thomas report if the lease has a(n) Guaranteed Residual Value Unguarantee
Answer: $6,000 for both guaranteed and unguaranteed residual value.
Explanation:
Gross Profit = Selling price - Cost of sales
Selling price = Fair value - Present value of residual value
= 40,000 - (7,000 * present value factor, 6%, 4 periods)
= 40,000 - (7,000 * 0.79209)
= $34,455.37
Cost of sales = Cost - Present value of residual value
= 34,000 - (7,000 * 0.79209)
= $28,455.37
Gross Profit = 34,455.37 - 28,455.37
= $6,000
Chino Company manufactures fabric and clothing. Managers can either sell the unfinished fabric to other clothing manufacturers or incur additional conversion costs to create a finished garment. The costs incurred to produce the unfinished fabric are $400,000, which are allocated to the products based on the sales value of the unfinished fabric. Following is information concerning the clothing that can be produced from the fabric:
Product # of units Selling price of Unfinished Fabric Selling price after processing further Addtional Processing cost
Pants 6,000 $20.00 $30.00 $28,450
Shirts 12,000 $23.20 $32.40 $64,400
Coats 4,000 $38.80 $43.20 $18,300
Required:
a. Calculate the increase or decrease in profit if the products are processed further.
b. Assume that the $400,000 in costs is allocated based on the number of units of output. Which products should be sold as unfinished fabric and which should be further processed?
Answer:
a. we have:
Increase in profit of Pants if processed further = $31,550
Increase in profit of Shirts if processed further = $46,000
Decrease in profit of Coats if processed further = -$700
b. We have:
1. Both Pants and Shirts should be processed further.
2. Coats should should be sold as unfinished fabric.
Explanation:
a. Calculate the increase or decrease in profit if the products are processed further.
Note: See the part (a) of the attached excel file for calculation of the increase or decrease in profit if the products are processed further.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Increase in profit of Pants if processed further = $31,550
Increase in profit of Shirts if processed further = $46,000
Decrease in profit of Coats if processed further = -$700
b. Assume that the $400,000 in costs is allocated based on the number of units of output. Which products should be sold as unfinished fabric and which should be further processed?
Note: See the part (b) of the attached excel file for calculation of the increase or decrease in profit if the products are processed further.
In the attached excel file, we have:
Increase in profit of Pants if processed further = $31,550
Increase in profit of Shirts if processed further = $46,000
Decrease in profit of Coats if processed further = -$700
Since both there are increases in the profits of both Pants and Shirts if they are processed further, this implies that both Pants and Shirts should be processed further.
Since there is a decrease in the profits of Coats if it is processed further, this implies that Coats should should be sold as unfinished fabric.
