Answer:
For Capital Incentive manufacturing method = 26,623 Units
For Labor Incentive manufacturing method = 10,714 Units
Explanation:
We are asked to find out the annual break - even point in units if Sharpie uses the Capital Intensive Method and Labour intensive Method.
Solution:
1. For Capital Intensive Method:
Direct Materials = 10
Direct Labor = 4
Variable MOH = 5
Variable Selling = 4
Total Variable Cost = T = 23
Selling Price = P = 100
Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 77
Fixed Overhead:
Fixed MOH = 1800000
Fixed Selling costs = 250000
Total Fixed Costs = 2050000
Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M = 26623
2. For Labor Intensive Method:
Direct Materials = 12
Direct Labor = 12
Variable MOH = 2
Variable Selling = 4
Total Variable Cost = T = 30
Selling Price = P = 100
Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 70
Fixed Overhead:
Fixed MOH = 500000
Fixed Selling costs = 250000
Total Fixed Costs = 750000
Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M = 10714

Fill in the missing numbers in the following income statement:
Sales $645,000
Costs 346,500
Depreciation 97,200
EBIT $
Taxes (35%)
Net income $
Required:
a. What is the OCF?
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation
= $645,000 - $346,500 - $97,200
= $201,300
Taxes = EBIT × 35%
= $201,300 × 35%
= $70,455
Net income = EBIT - Taxes
= $201,300 - $70,455
= $130,845
1. OCF
= Net income + Depreciation
= $130,845 + $97,200
= $228,045
2. Depreciation tax shield
= Depreciation × Tax rate
=$97,200 × 35%
= $34,020
On September 30, 2018, the San Fillipo Corporation issued 8% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $280 million. The bonds mature on September 30, 2038 (20 years). The market rate of interest for similar bonds was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on March 31 and September 30. ((FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
Determine the price of the bonds on September 30, 2018. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Table values are based on: 40 5% Amount Present Value Cash Flow Interest Principal Price of bonds $ 220,000,000
Answer:
the price of the bond is $231,955,808
Explanation:
The computation of the price of the bond is shown below:
= Interest + principal
= ($280,000,000 × 8% × 6 months ÷ 12 months) × PVIFA factor at 5% for 40 years + ($280,000,000 × PVF factor at 5% for 40 years)
= 192,181,808+ $39,774,000
= $231,955,808
hence, the price of the bond is $231,955,808
Japanese officials are considering a new tariff on imported pork products from the United States in an attempt to reduce Japan’s reliance on U.S. pork. Due to political pressure, the U.S. International Trade Representative’s (ITR) office is also considering a new tariff on imported steel from Japan. Officials in both Japan and the U.S. must assess the social welfare ramifications of their tariff decisions. Reports from a reliable think-tank indicate the following: If neither country imposes a new tariff, social welfare in Japan’s economy will remain at $4.8 billion and social welfare in the United States will remain at $44 billion. If both countries impose a new tariff, welfare in the United States declines 0.5 percent to $43.78 billion and welfare in Japan declines by 0.8 percent to $4.76 billion. If Japan does not impose a tariff but the United States does, projected welfare in Japan is $4.66 billion while welfare in the United States is $44.2 billion. Finally, if the U.S. does not impose a tariff but Japan does, welfare is projected at $43.66 billion in the United States and $4.85 billion in Japan. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcome when policy makers in the two countries simultaneously but independently make tariff decisions in a myopic (one-shot) setting. Is it possible for the two countries to improve their social welfare by "agreeing" to different strategies? Explain
Answer:
Explanation:
The following is the Nash equilibrium between the United States and the Japanese Nation, as well as the payoff:
Japanese Nation
Tariff (billion) No Tariff (billion)
Tariff $43.78 , $4.76 $44.2 , $4.66
United States
No Tariff $43.66 , $4.85 $44 , $4.8
From the Nash equilibrium; the United States implements Tariffs and the Japanese Nation also implements Tariff with the outcome ($43.78, $4.76) as the dominant strategy each for the United States and Japanese Nation:
(to implement tariff).
By agreeing to adopt No tariff, the two nations may be able to increase their social welfare.
On the other hand, the decision to implement no tariffs relies on the event being performed indefinitely, thereby utilizing trigger methods when the interest rate is very low.
Assume that a $1,00,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 5%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using ths information and ignoring the other costs involved, the value of the T-note is calculated as $773,871.23
Based on this calculation and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statements:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease) Please Explain Why.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount) Please Explain Why.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Answer:
Completing the following statements based on the calculations and an understanding of semiannual coupon bonds:
1. Assuming the interest rates remain constant, the T-notes price is expected to _____________. (Increase or Decrease).
The reason for the increase in the T-notes price is the addition of the amortization for the 6-month period of $17,563.
2. The T-note described is selling at a ________________. (Premium or Discount)
The T-note sells at a discount because the face value is greater than the price. This implies that at the end of the maturity period of 5 years, the amount that will be received or paid is $1,000,000 and not the price that was initially received or paid.
3. When valuing a semiannual coupon bond, the time period N in the present value formula used to calculate the price of the bond is treated in terms of ____________ periods. (Annual, 6 month, 4 month, 12 month)
Semiannual = 6 months (12/2).
Explanation:
a) Data anc Calculations:
Face value of semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note = $1,000,000
T-note price = $773,871.23
Discount on the note = $226,128.77 ($1,000,000 - $773,871.23)
Maturity period = 5 years
Coupon rate = 5%
Yield rate = 11%
Semiannual coupon payment = $25,000 ($1,000,000 * 2.5%)
Semiannual interest expense = $42,563 ($773,871.23 * 5.5%)
Amortization of discount = $17,563 ($42,563 - $25,000)
Vaughn, Inc. uses the dollar-value LIFO method of computing its inventory. Data for the past 3 years follow. Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Current-Year Cost Price Index 2019 $20,000 100 2020 22,464 108 2021 26,334 114 Compute the value of the 2020 and 2021 inventories using the dollar-value LIFO method.
Answer:
Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Current-Year Cost Price Index
2019 $20,000 100
2020 $22,464 108
2021 $26,334 114
Inventory at base year prices:
2020 = $20,800
2021 = $23,100
Change from prior yer:
2020 = $800
2021 = $2,300
Dollar value:
2020 = $20,000 + ($800 x 1.08) = $20,864
2021 = $20,864 + (2,300 x 1.14) = $23,486

Airline F leases all its aircraft under finance leases. Airline O leases all its aircraft under operating leases. Assuming that the two airlines report under US GAAP and are otherwise identical except for the mentioned lease classifications, which of the following comments is true?
a. Airline O has lower rent expense reported on its income statement
b. Airline F has a lower EBITDA margin
c. None of the listed answers
d. Airline O has more lease liabilities
e. Airline O has less lease assets at the inception of the lease
Answer: e. Airline O has less lease assets at the inception of the lease
Explanation:
With operating leases, the entity leasing the asset or the lessee, does not get the rights to ownership of the asset being leased but instead simply pay a fee or sort of rent for leasing the asset.
With a finance lease however, ownership is passed to the lessee for the lease period and the lessee would have to depreciate the asset and record it in its books.
Airline O will therefore not record any assets but Airline F will. This means that Airline F will have more assets than O because it had to record its assets but O did not.
The Converting Department of Osaka Napkin Company uses the average cost method and had 2,100 units in work in process that were 70% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 26,500 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,200 units in process that were 30% complete at the end of the period.
a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period.
b. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period.
Answer:
a. Number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period:
= 26,500 units + 1,200 units
= 27,700 units
b. Number of equivalent units of production for the period:
= 26,500 units + (1200 units*30%)
= 26,500 units + 360 units
= 26,860 units

Compute the break even point in dollar sales for 2019 ( Round your answers to 2 decimal places . )
Answer: $682,727.27
Explanation:
Sales price is given as $36.80 per pair and variable costs are $27.60 per pair.
Break Even Point in dollars = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio
Fixed costs = Old fixed costs + increase
= 232,500 + 143,000
= $375,500
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
Variable costs are to reduce by 40%:
= 36.80 - (27.60 * (1 - 40%))
= $20.24
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Selling price
= 20.24 / 36.80
= 55%
Break Even Point in dollars = 375,500 / 55%
= $682,727.27

Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.
Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?
Answer:
The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.
Explanation:
Let:
x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?
AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000
T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21
n = Number of years = 5
Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.
Therefore, we have:
r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15
D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x
P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x
Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:
PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:
x = PVP
That is:
x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x
Solving for x, we have:
x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56
x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56
x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56
x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49
Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

A physical count of merchandise inventory on November 30 reveals that there are 96 units on hand. Cost of goods sold (rounded) under FIFO is
Answer: $1,712
Explanation:
If the company uses FIFO it means that they sell their earlier inventory first. If there are 96 units on hand, it means that these 96 units would be the latest inventory.
That means that these 96 units comprise of:
86 units purchased on November 25 at $6.30 each and,10 units from the November 17 purchase of 58 units at $6.05 each which means 48 units were sold from this purchase.The units sold were therefore:
= (29 * 5.80) + (115 * 6.20) + (48 * 6.05)
= 168.20 + 713 + 290.40
= $1,171.60
= $1,712
Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond pays a coupon rate of 11 percent, has a YTM of 9 percent, and has 11 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond pays a coupon rate of 9 percent, has a YTM of 11 percent, and also has 11 years to maturity. The bonds have a $1,000 par value. What is the price of each bond today
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the price of each bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond X:
Coupon= (0.11/2)*1,000= $55
YTM= 0.09/2= 0.045
Years to maturiy= 11 years
Bond Price= 55*{[1 - (1.045^-11)] / 0.045} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]
Bond Price= 469.1 + 616.2
Bond Price= $1,085.3
Bond Y:
Coupon= (0.09/2)*1,000= $45
YTM= 0.11/2= 0.055
Years to maturiy= 11 years
Bond Price= 45*{[1 - (1.055^-11)] / 0.055} + [1,000/(1.045^11)]5
Bond Price= 364.16 + 554.91
Bond price= $919.07
Discuss FOUR ways in which SAA could benefit from proper long-term planning.
Answer:
Explanation:
Planning is a core and fundamental step which should be done before embarking in a process, business or task. It could be used to project a short or long term engagement or task.
The benefits of long term planning could include :
Business having a long term plan shows a proactive sense of approach, that is it shows that the business has a blue print, a target and a defined goal which is being laid down in sequence, this ensures that they will have very few chances of making rash decisions due to market fluctuation or growth as d they are less proned to having a reactive agenda.

Decide if the following probability is classical, empirical, or subjective.
You calculate that the probability of randomly choosing a student who is right-handed is about 54%.
Answer:
Classical probability
Explanation:
Classical probability is calculated only when all possible outcomes in the sample space are down and equally likely to occur. It is the probability of known events or events whose resulting probabilities are definitive
For example, students are either left-handed, right-handed or ambidextrous
Subjective probability is a guess on the likelihood an event would occur.
Experimental probability is the probability derived by repeatedly carrying out an experiment and recording the outcomes

a. 3.0 years.
b. 4.0 years.
c. 6.0 years.
d. 8.0 years.
Answer:
b. 4.0 years.
Explanation:
The computation of the estimated payback period is given below:
The annual cash inflow is
= Net Income + Depreciation of equipment
= $6000 + $6000
= $12,000
Now The payback period of this investment is
= Investment ÷ Annual cash inflow
= $48,000 ÷ $12,000
= 4 years
hence, the option b is correct and the same should be considered

Cash dividends were $2. The company did not issue any bonds or repurchase any of its own common stock during the year. The net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year was: ___________
Answer:
$57
Explanation:
Repayment of bond = Beginning balance - Ending balance
Repayment of bond = $154 - $89
Repayment of bond = $65 (Outflow)
Increase in common stock = Beginning balance - Ending balance
Increase in common stock = $57 - $47
Increase in common stock = $10 (Inflow)
Dividend paid = $2 (Outflow)
Net cash used in financing activities = Repayment of bond + Dividend paid - Increase in common stock
Net cash used in financing activities = $65 + $2 - $10
Net cash used in financing activities = $57
So, the net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year was $57.

The controller of Sandhill Industries has collected the following monthly expense data for use in analyzing the cost behavior of maintenance costs. Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours January $2,880 3,820 February 3,273 4,364 March 3,928 6,546 April 4,632 8,619 May 3,491 5,455 June 4,844 8,730 (a1) Determine the variable-cost components using the high-low method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.)
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours
January $2,880 3,820
February 3,273 4,364
March 3,928 6,546
April 4,632 8,619
May 3,491 5,455
June 4,844 8,730
To calculate the variable component using the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,844 - 2,880) / (8,730 - 3,820)
Variable cost per unit= $0.4

Kiran owns a medium-sized printing business. She owns three one-color (black) printers and needs a color printer for volume print production. She wants to keep the operating expenses related to the color printer low, so she should ____________ a color printer.
Answer:
Company 1 : Lease new jets.
Company 2 : Buy a color printer.
Explanation:
Lease and buy are both options available to a business for acquiring an equipment. Lease option is best suited to company 1 where the demand for private jet charter has increased in summer. The demand will not remain constant in other seasons so leasing the jets for summer season is best and less costly than buying them.
For company 2, it is better to purchase color printer rather than leasing it as the demand for volume print stays throughout the year and she wants to keep her cost at minimum. Leasing the printer will be an additional monthly expense while buying the printer is one time expense.
