For the current year ended March 31, Cosgrove Company expects fixed costs of $27,600,000, a unit variable cost of $805, and a unit selling price of $1,150.a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $5,175,000.units
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $27,600,000
Unitary variable cost= $805
Unit selling price= $1,150
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 27,600,000 / (1,150 - 805)
Break-even point in units= 80,000 units
Desired income= $5,175,000
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (27,600,000 + 5,175,000) / 345
Break-even point in units= 95,000 units
Suppose you have $ cash today and you can invest it to become worth $ in years. What is the present purchasing power equivalent of this $ when the average inflation rate over the first years is % per year, and over the last years it will be % per year?
Answer: $900,599.04
Explanation:
The present purchasing power equivalent is the present worth of this investment.
The investment will earn 5% for the first 7 years and then 9% for the next 10.
As there are different rates, the present worth calculation will have to reflect that.
At the end of the first 7 years, the present worth of the invested amount given 10 more years of investing at 9%. The Present worth is;
= 3,000,000(Present worth factor, 9%, 10 years)
= 3,000,000 * 0.4224
= $1,267,200
Then what is the Present worth of $1,267,200 in the current year given that it will be invested for 7 years at 5% to get to $1,267,200.
= 1,267,200 (Present worth factor, 5%, 7 years)
= 1,267,200 * 0.7107
= $900,599.04
Samuel, a longtime employee of the ABCD Corporation, was injured when he fell off a ladder while stocking widgets at ABDC at their East Lansing, Michigan location. Samuel believes ABCD Corporation was negligent for selling widgets. If Samuel sues his employer in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery:
a. he will lose
b. he will win
c. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, completely
d. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, but only if the court awards him non-economic damages
Answer:
Option B. He will win
Explanation:
If Samuel is desiring to sue his employer in a circuit court because he thinks that the employer was negligent then he will have to sue under negligence Act, which says that the employer is obliged to take all necessary precautions and if found negligent then the court may apply contributory negligent theory as well as comparative negligent theory. These two negligent theories means that the employer was partly responsible for injury, which means that this would result in compensation to Samuel.
Hence it is more likely that Samuel will win the case.
It is likely that if Samuel sues ABCD Corporation in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery, a. he will lose.
The question to ask is, is ABCD Corporation negligent in selling widgets? No. Is it the case that the corporation's sale of widgets caused Samuel to fall off a ladder while he was stocking them at the Michigan location? No.
For Samuel to be successful in the circuit court, he must prove that ABCD Corporation acted negligently with its sales of widgets, especially:
ABCD Corporation owed a duty to Samuel not to sell widgets ABCD Corporation breached this duty to Samuel ABCD's breach was the actual cause of Samuel's injury ABCD's breach was also the proximate cause of Samuel's fall and injury Samuel suffered actual damages as a result of the negligent act by ABCD Corporation.
Thus, based on the above, Samuel will lose the case because the corporation was not negligent for selling widgets nor for the fall of Samuel from the ladder.

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 5.50 pounds $ 2.50 per pound $ 13.75
Direct labor 0.50 hours $ 6.50 per hour $ 3.25
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
1. Ten thousand six hundred pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.40 per pound.
2. The company produced only 1,060 units, using 9,540 pounds of material. (The rest of the material purchased remained in raw materials inventory.)
3. 630 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $7,560.
Required:
Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 5.50 pounds $ 2.50 per pound.
Actual:
1. 10,600 were purchased for $2.40 per pound.
2. The company produced only 1,060 units, using 9,540 pounds of material.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.5 - 2.4)*10,600
Direct material price variance= $1,060 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
standard quantity= 1,060*5.5= 5,830
Direct material quantity variance= (5,830 - 9,540)*2.5
Direct material quantity variance= $9,275 unfavorable
Suppose that a country has no public debt in year 1 but experiences a budget deficit of billion in year 2, a budget surplus of billion in year 3, a budget surplus of billion in year 4, and a budget deficit of billion in year 5.
A) What is the absolute size of its public debt in year 4?
B) If its real GDP in year 4 is $104 billion, what is this country's public debt as a percentage of real GDP in year 4?
Answer:
a. 72 billion
b. 69.2%
Explanation:
a. The absolute size of its public debt in year 4 would be the total value of the deficit from year 1 till 4.
= 0 + 50 + 30 - 10 (budget surplus so it reduces deficit) - 2
= 72 billion
b. Percentage of real GDP in year 4;
= (72/104) * 100%
= 69.2%
A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $400,000 and has $175,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $550,000. The old machine could be sold for $250,000. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $72,500 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $24,000 per year for eight years.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated May 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?
Answer:
Company A
a. Differential Analysis dated May 29
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Opportunity cost $250,000 $550,000
Variable production costs 580,000 192,000
Total cost $830,000 $742,000
b. Sunk cost in this situation is: $225,000 ($400,000 - $175,000) cost of the old machine.
Explanation:
Company A's relevant cost for the old machine is the opportunity cost that it will lose if it continues with Alternative 1 or continued use of the old machine and the additional cost for the new machine for Alternative 2. Also relevant is the variable production costs that would be incurred if the old or new machine is used.
Company A's sunk cost is the cost of the old machine minus accumulated depreciation. Sunk cost is not relevant for decision making under differential analysis.
Company A's differential analysis is a managerial tool that is used to differentiate one decision alternative from another. In this analysis, only relevant costs are considered. A relevant cost in this case is cost that its inclusion or elimination makes a difference in the decision outcome.
Muckenthaler Company sells product 2005WSC for $30 per unit. The cost of one unit of 2005WSC is $27, and the replacement cost is $26. The estimated cost to dispose of a unit is $3, and the normal profit is 40% of selling price. At what amount per unit should product 2005WSC be reported, applying lower-of-cost-or-market
Answer:
The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Explanation:
The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.
Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:
Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27
Replacement cost (RC) = $26
NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15
Cost per unit = $27
Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.
Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27, by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Martha, who is single, has a main home in Houston. In the current year, she rented it for 10 days, receiving $5,000 in rental income. Martha paid $20,000 in mortgage interest and $10,000 in real estate taxes on her home in the current year. What is the net effect of these items on her adjusted gross income g
Answer:
$5,000 increase
Explanation:
As Martha has the main home in Houston and in the current year she rented it for only 10 days, this means that house is rented for less than 14 days and will be still treated as her personal residence, therefore, no deduction will be available for Martha against her rental income. Martha's Adjusted gross income will be increased by an amount of $5,000.
Suppose the real interest rate is 2.8%, and the inflation rate is 7%. (1) How much do you need to invest now in order to get $100 in a year? Please show two approaches to calculate the answers. (Round your final answer to two decimal places) (2) Suppose the U.S. Treasury issues 5% coupon, 3-year TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities). What are the real cash flows on the 3-year TIPS each year? What are the nominal cash flows on the 3-years TIPS each year? (Round your final answers to two decimal places)
Answer:
1)
approach 1, using the approximate real and nominal interest rates:
nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate = 2.8% + 7% = 9.8%
present value = $100 / (1 + 9.8%) = $91.07
approach 2, using the exact real and nominal interest rates:
(1 + i) = (1 + r) × (1 + π)
(1 + i) = (1 + 2.8%) x (1 + 7%) = 1.09996
i = 1.09996 - 1 = 0.09996 = 9.996%
present value = $100 / (1 + 9.996%) = $90.91
2)
assuming a $1,000 TIPS, nominal cash flow year 1 = $50
new face value = $1,070
nominal cash flow year 2 = $53.50
new face value = $1,144.90
nominal cash flows year 3 = $57.25 + ($1,144.90 x 1.07) = $1,282.29
assuming a $1,000 TIPS, real cash flow year 1 = $50 / 1.07 = $46.73
new face value = $1,070
real cash flow year 2 = $53.50 / 1.07² = $46.73
new face value = $1,144.90
real cash flows year 3 = [$57.25 + ($1,144.90 x 1.07)] / 1.07³ = $1,282.29 / 1.07³ = $1,046.73

Answer:
a) $94.88
b) in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks should increase to $109.11
Explanation:
year dividend EPS
0 0 $10
1 0 $12
2 0 $14.40
3 0 $17.28
4 0 $20.736
5 0 $24.8832
6 $11.45 $28.61568
growth rate up to year 5 = 20%
ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%
dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 15% x (1 - 40%) = 9%
cost of equity = 15%
horizon value at year 5 = $11.45 / (15% - 9%) = $190.83
current intrinsic value per stock = $190.83 / 1.15⁵ = $94.88
intrinsic price in 1 year = $190.83 / 1.15⁴ = $109.11
The estimate of DEQS’s intrinsic value per share is $94.88. Also, in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks will increase to $109.11.
Based on the information given, the dividend and the earnings per share are given below:
year dividend EPS

1 0 $12
2 0 $14.40
3 0 $17.28
4 0 $20.736
5 0 $24.88
6 $11.45 $28.616
Growth rate up to year 5 = 20%ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%Cost of equity = 15%Therefore, the dividend growth rate starting year 6 will be:
= 15% x (1 - 40%)
= 15% × 60%
= 9%
Therefore, the horizon value at year 5 will be:
= $11.45 / (15% - 9%)
= $11.45 / 6%
= $190.83
Then, the current intrinsic value per stock will be:
= $190.83 / 1.15⁵
= $94.88
The intrinsic price in 1 year will be:
= $190.83 / 1.15⁴
= $109.11

Assume that you have recently purchased 250 shares in an investment company. Upon examining the balance sheet, you note that the firm is reporting $320 million in assets, $60 million in liabilities, and 25 million shares outstanding. What is the net asset value (NAV) of these shares
Answer:
$10.4
Explanation:
250 shares was recently purchased in an investment company
The firm is reporting $320 million in assets
$60 million in liabilities
25 million shares outstanding
Therefore, the net asset value(NAV) of the shares can be calculated as follows
NAV = $320 million-$60 million/25 million shares
= 260/25
= $10.4
Hence the net asset value is $10.4

What is the required monthly payment on a $350,000 mortgage? Assume a standard mortgage (360 months) with monthly payments. Use a nominal rate of 6.90%.
Answer:
EMI = $2,305
Explanation:
We can calculate Monthly payment on a $350,000 mortgage by using following formula of equated monthly installments. You just need to collect the data to input in the formula for further calculation.
Data
Principal amount = $350,000
Rate = 6.90% = 6.90%/12months = 0.00575
number pf periods = 360 months
Formula
EMI = [[tex]\frac{[P x R x (1+R)^{n} }{(1+R)^{n-1} }[/tex]]
P = Principal amount
R = Rate
n = number pf periods
Solution
EMI =[tex]\frac{[350,000 x0.00575 x ((1+0.00575)^{360-1}) ]}{1+0.00575)^{360-1}}[/tex]
EMI = $2,305
TB MC Qu. 6-107 Mcmurtry Corporation sells a product for ... Mcmurtry Corporation sells a product for $250 per unit. The product's current sales are 13,600 units and its break-even sales are 10,608 units. The margin of safety as a percentage of sales is closest to:
Answer:
The answer is 22%
Explanation:
Margin of Safety equals:
(Current sales level - break-even point) ÷ Current sales level
Break-even sales = $2,652,000 (10,608 units x $250 per unit)
Current sales = $3,400,000 (13,600 units x $250 per unit)
Therefore, Margin of Safety is:
($3,400,000 - $2,652,000) ÷ $3,400,000
= 0.22
Expressed as a percentage = 22%

According to the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis, this fate has befallen many developing countries given the general decline in commodity prices in relation to the price of manufactured goods.A) TrueB) False
Answer: True
Explanation;
Generally, manufactured goods cost more than the commodity goods that they were manufactured from due to the value that has been added to them. This is what the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis argues, that commodity prices decline overtime in relation to manufacturing good prices.
This is a fate that has befallen many developing countries as many of them export commodity goods to developed countries who then add value to them, turning them into manufactured goods and then selling them back to developing countries at a higher price thereby negatively affecting their balance of trade.
