the price of envelopes was $3 a box, and Julie was willing to buy 10 boxes. Today, the price has gone up to $3.75 a box, and Julie is now willing to buy 8 boxes. Is Julie's demand for envelopes elastic or inelastic? What is Julie's elasticity of demand?​

Answers

Answer:

Her elasticity of demand is the absolute value of -0.8, or 0.8. Julie's elasticity of demand is inelastic, since it is less than 1.

Explanation:

% Change in Quantity = (8 - 10)/(10) = -0.20 = -20%

% Change in Price = (3.75 - 3.00)/(3.00) = 0.25 = 25%

Elasticity = |(-20%)/(25%)| = |-0.8| = 0.8

Depreciation: $25

Knowing she has sold 5,000 pairs, assume the company wants to launch a Black Friday promotion, where she would discount her shoes by 10%. How many more shoes would she have to sell to justify this promotion?

A. 25.13% more shoes

B. 20.08% more shoes

C. None of the above, but I could calculate this with the information I am given.

D. None of the above, I cannot calculate this with the information I am given.

Answer:

Option A. 25.13% more shoes

Explanation:

Cost Benefit analysis would be useful here to acknowledge what percentage of shoe sales is required to justify the promotion.

The Benefit drawn before 10% promotion proposal:

Revenue:                           $500,000

Shoes:                               ($250,000)

Shoe boxes:                         ($1,000)

Advertising:                           ($500)

Rent:                                     ($1,000)

Depreciation:                          ($25)

Profit                                    $247,475

The Benefit drawn before 10% promotion proposal:

Revenue:                           $450,000

Shoes:                               ($250,000)

Shoe boxes:                        ($1,000)

Advertising:                          ($500)

Rent:                                    ($1,000)

Depreciation:                         ($25)

Profit                                   $197,475

Now we can calculate how much additional sales must be required to justify the promotion.

Sales Increase Required = (Initial Profit - Before Promotion) / Profit After Promotion

Sales Increase Required = ($247,475  - $197,475) / $197,475

Sales Increase Required = 25.31% which is close to option 1, hence Option 1 is correct here.

Promotion is termed as the activity that involves the spreading or publicizing of information regarding the products and services. It is a part of marketing that involves publicity and public relations between the customers.  

The correct option is A. 25.13% more shoes

Cost Benefit analysis would be useful here to acknowledge what percentage of shoe sales is required to justify the promotion.

The Benefit drew before 10% promotion proposal:

Revenue:                           $500,000

Depreciation:                         ($25)

Profit                                   $197,475

Now we can calculate how much additional sales must be required to justify the promotion.

Sales Increase Required = [tex]\frac{\text{Initial Profit - Before Promotion}}{\text{Profit After Promotion}}[/tex]

Sales Increase Required = [tex]\frac{\$247,475-\$197,475}{\$197,475}[/tex]

A new product is presently under development and will have an expected selling price of not more than $68 per unit in order to remain competitive with similar products in the marketplace. Required: a. Calculate gross profit and the gross profit ratio for the year.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is:

Gross profit is $315,000

Gross profit ratio is 30 percent

Explanation:

Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales

Net sales - $1,050,000

Cost of sales - ($735,000)

Gross profit -. $315,000

Gross profit ratio is:

(Gross profit / net sales) x 100 percent

($315,000 / $1,050,000) x 100 percent

0.3 x 100 percent

30 percent.

So we have:

Gross profit is $315,000

Gross profit ratio is 30 percent

If the current interest rate is 5% and your semi-annual coupon paying bond has a duration of 5.33 years, how much will the price of the bond change if the interest rate increases by 1 basis point?

Answers

Answer:

Percentage change in price = -5.33 * 0.00005

Explanation:

Percentage change in price = - modified duration * (Change in yield in BP/100)

Percentage change in price = -5.33 * ((0.01/2)/100)

Percentage change in price = -5.33 * (0.005/100)

Link Co. purchased machinery that cost $3,000,000 on January 4, 2016. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The machinery has a nine-year life and a $200,000 residual value. The error was discovered on December 20, 2018. Ignore income tax considerations. Before the correction was made, and before the books were closed on December 31, 2018, retained earnings was understated by:_________.a. $3,000,000.
b. $2,066,667.
c. $2,377,778
d. $2,333,333.

Answers

Answer:

c. $2,377,778

Explanation:

Recording the entire cost as expense would have understated Retained Earnings by $3,000,000

Annual Depreciation on machine = Purchase cost - Residual value / Useful life

= ($3,000,000 - $200,000) / 9

= $311,111

Depreciation would have been recorded for $622222 for 2 years had machinery been correctly recorded ($311,111 * 2) = $622,222

On December 20, 2018, the net understatement of Retained Earnings = $3,000,000 - $622,222

= $2,377,778

The problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the:________


a. ATC curve to shift upward.

b. MR curve to shift leftward.

c. D curve to shift leftward.

d. ATC curve to shift downward.

e. D curve to shift rightward.

Answers

Answer:

a.  ATC curve to shift upward

Explanation:

Average cost pricing is a form of pricing that appears as one of the ways in which the government operates a monopoly market. The government, however, may utilize average cost pricing as a tool to oversee prices monopolists may charge.

In other words, this implies that Monopolists always incline to produce less than the optimal amount boosting the prices up.

Hence, the problem with average-cost pricing regulation is that once it is in place, there is a tendency for the: "Average Total Cost curve to shift upward." This can be a result of an increase in output and reduction price

Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm's total-debt-to-total-capital ratio was 15.0%. The firm finances using only debt and common equity and its total assets equal total invested capital. Based on the DuPont equation, what was the ROE

Answers

Answer:

8.94%

Explanation:

Firstly, we will need to find total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc inorder to apply the Dupont equation for getting ROE

Harrington's total debt = 15.00 % × $250,000

= $37,500

Harrington's total equity will be; applying accounting equation

Asset = Liabilities + Owner's equity

Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities

= $250,000 - $37,500

= $212,500

Therefore, using the Dupont equation, we can calculate the ROE as;

(NI/Sales) × (Sales/Total assets) × (Total assets/Total common equity)

= 19,000/325,000 × 325,000 /250,000 × 250,000/212,500

= 8.94%

What is the standard deviation of a portfolio's returns if the mean return is 15%, and the variance of returns is 184

Answers

Answer:

Standard deviation  =13.6

Explanation:

Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks.

Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company .

Standard deviation is the sum of the squared deviation of the individual return from the mean return under different scenarios .

Further more, it can be calculated as the square root of the variance of the portfolio.

Standard deviation = √ variance

DATA

Variance = 184

Standard deviation = √184 = 13.6

Standard deviation  =13.6

Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $15.30 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 3.3% growth in sales each month, the number of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:

Answers

Answer:

Electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be: 11,023 units.

Explanation:

Apply the growth of 3.30% to each month starting December as follows :

December Sales = 10,000 units

January Sales     = 10,000 × (1.033)^1  = 10,330 units

February Sales   = 10,000 × (1.033)^2 = 10,671 units

March Sales        = 10,000 × (1.033)^3 = 11,023 units

JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Answers

Answer:

The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30

Explanation:

To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

r is the rate of interestt is the time in years

Future value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5

Future value = $1514.30

George Hansen is General Manager for the Marigold Inn in Augusta, Georgia. Sharon Coombs is Restaurant and Food Services manager for the Inn. She reports to George. Two years ago, Sharon noticed a decline in room service business, the highest margin potion of her operation. This decline coincided with an increase in the national sales of pizza delivery and carryout firms as well as an increase in the number of empty pizza boxes from these firms being left in guest rooms in the Inn. Her immediate response was to install a pizza oven in the kitchen and offer room service pizza to guests. The effort met with modest success, though it was well below her expectations. Questionnaires completed by departing guests revealed a problem of product quality.
Focusing on this problem, Sharon improved the Inn’s pizza until blind tests judged it at least equal in quality to the products of the two major pizza delivery competitors in Augusta. Sales did not improve, convincing Sharon that the problem was a perceived mismatch between the hotel’s image and guests’ expectations of pizza makers. Guests simply did not seem to believe that the traditional steak and seafood restaurant at the Inn could make a high-quality, authentic pizza.
Based on this conclusion, Sharon presented the following proposal to George:
"Sales of room service pizza are stagnant due to guests’ misperception that our product is lower in quality than that of competitors. This misperception is based on the belief that until we disassociate our pizza from the Marigold Inn name. Therefore, to capture more room service pizza business, we should create a ‘Napoli Pizza’ image for our guest room delivery service by:
Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered, ‘Napoli Pizza, authentic Italian pizza from old, family recipes.’
Using special ‘Napoli Pizza’ boxes for delivering room service pizza to guests.
Issuing ‘Napoli Pizza’ hats and jackets to room service personnel for use in pizza delivery. Room service waiters and waitresses will wear these garments to deliver pizza. They will change to their regular uniforms for other deliveries.

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer:

1. Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered,

Explanation:

This is the best logical suggestion to George because, the guests already had the impression that, the inn cannot be able to produce a very high quality and tasty pizza. Preparing "Napoli Pizza" with different information from the Inn is best alternative. the guest would believe that, the pizza is coming from another quality pizza making company.

The following data relate to factory overhead cost for the production of 10,000 computers: Actual: Variable factory overhead $262,000 Fixed factory overhead 90,000 Standard: 14,000 hrs. at $25 350,000 If productive capacity of 100% was 15,000 hours and the total factory overhead cost budgeted at the level of 14,000 standard hours was $356,000, determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance. The fixed factory overhead rate was $6.00 per hour. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answers

Answer:

Calculation of variable overhead controllable variance

Standard hours allowed for 10,000 computers = 14,000 hours

Budgeted variable expense = Standard hours allowed * variable overhead rate

= 14,000 * ($25 - $6)

= $266,000

Variable overhead controllable variance = Actual variable overhead expense - Budgeted variable overhead expense

= $262,000 - $266,000

=$4,000 (Unfavorable)

Calculation of fixed overhead volume variance:

Applied overhead = Number of computers produced * Fixed overhead rate

= 10,000 * $6.00

= $60,000

Budgeted fixed overhead = $90,000

Fixed overhead volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - Applied fixed overhead

 = $90,000 - $60,000

= $30,000 (Favorable)

Calculation of Total factory overhead volume variance:

Total factory overhead cost variance = Variable overhead controllable variance + Fixed overhead volume variance

= - $4,000 + $30,000

= $26,000 (Favorable)

the construction of a 1000 suit luxury hotel requires the installation of 12 outlets and 6 light fictures per suit . The companys standard productivity for a two electrician crew is 20 minutes per light fixture and 30 minutes per outlet. Using eighteen crews working at a 0.8 efficiency factor and a 10hr work day with a half an hour lunch break , the duration of this construction activity (days,hours) is most nearly how much

Answers

Answer:

Hours = 8000

Days = 46.78

Explanation:

The duration of this construction activity can be calculated as follows

DATA

No. of suits = 1000

Outlets to be installed = 12/suit

Standard productivity for outlet = 30mins

Fixtures to be installed = 6/suit

Standard productivity light fixture = 20mins

Working hours per day = 10 hours - 0.5 lunch break

Working hours per day = 9.5 hours

No. of crews = 18

Solution

Total time to fix = No.of suits x no. of installations x Standard time

Total time to fix = (1000 x 12 x 30mins ) + ( 1000 x 6 x 20mins)

Total time to fix = 480000 mins

Total time to fix = 480000/60mins = 8000 hours

Duration in days = Total time / (hrs per day x mo. of crews)

Duration in days = 8000 hours / (9.5 x 18)

Duration in days = 8000/171

Duration in days = 46.78 days

The following data were taken from the financial statements of Gates Inc. for the current fiscal year. Property, plant, and equipment (net) $971,600 Liabilities: Current liabilities $140,000 Note payable, 6%, due in 15 years 694,000 Total liabilities $834,000 Stockholders' equity: Preferred $4 stock, $100 par (no change during year) $834,000 Common stock, $10 par (no change during year) 834,000 Retained earnings: Balance, beginning of year $890,000 Net income 386,000 $1,276,000 Preferred dividends $33,360 Common dividends 130,640 164,000 Balance, end of year 1,112,000 Total stockholders' equity $2,780,000 Sales $21,141,000 Interest expense $41,640 Assuming that total assets were $3,433,000 at the beginning of the current fiscal year, determine the following. When required, round to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities  = fixed assets / long term liabilities = $971,600 / $694,000 = 1.4

Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $834,000 / $2,780,000  = 0.3

Asset turnover = net sales / average total assets = $21,141,000 / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 6  

Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense) / average total assets =  ($386,000 + $41,640) / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 12.14%

Return on stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($2,780,000 + $2,558,000) = 14.46%

Return on common stockholders' equity = net income / average common stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($1,946,000 + $1,724,000) = 21.04%
