Complete Question:

Crossfire Company segments its business into two regions - East and West.  The company prepared a contribution format segmented income statement as shown below:

                                                Total Company         East              West

Sales                                            $900,000        $600,000       $300,000

Variable Expenses                        675,000           480,000          195,000

Contribution margin                     225,000            120,000          105,000

Traceable Fixed Expenses            141,000              50,000            91,000

Segment Margin                          $84,000            $70,000          $14,000

Common Fixed Expenses            59,000

Net Operating Income               $25,000

Instructions: (As given).

Answer:

Crossfire Company

1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales:

Break-even point in dollar sales

= Sales = Total costs

Sales = $816,000

Total costs = Variable costs + Traceable fixed costs

= $675,000 + $141,000

= $816,000

2. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region:

Break-even point in dollar sales

= Sales = Total costs

= $530,000

Total costs = $530,000 ($480,000 + 50,000)

3. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region:

Break-even point in dollar sales

= Sales = Total costs

= $286,000

Total costs = $286,000 ($195,000 + 91,000)

4. A new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that are computed in requirements 2 and 3:

                                                Total Company         East              West

Sales                                             $816,000        $530,000       $286,000

Variable Expenses                        675,000           480,000          195,000

Contribution margin                       141,000             50,000          105,000

Traceable Fixed Expenses            141,000             50,000            91,000

Segment Margin                                $0                     $0                   $0

Common Fixed Expenses            59,000

Net Operating Income/(loss)    ($59,000)

Crossfire's net operating income (loss) in the new segmented income statement is: $59,000

5. I think that Crossfire should allocate the common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region.

This ensures that Crossfire does not run into net operating loss, company-wide.  The segmented sales revenues for the regions can be used to allocate the common fixed expenses.  Other suitable bases are traceable fixed expense, number of sales and administrative staff, or activity cost pools, using activity-based costing technique.

Explanation:

a) Break-even point in sales dollars is the sales point at which Crossfire's sales revenue will be equal to the total costs.  At this point, Crossfire will not make any profit or incur any loss.

You borrow $25,000 to be repaid in 24 monthly installments of $1,212.17. The annual interest rate is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

15%

Explanation:

For computing the annual interest rate we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below;

Given that,  

Present value = $25,000

Future value or Face value = $0

PMT = $1,212.17

NPER = 24 months

The formula is shown below:

Which of the following is an example of a disruptive innovation?

Answers

Answer: C. Use of smartphones with Internet access replacing use of  landlines

Explanation:

A disruptive innovation is one that when initiated, has a significant effect on the way an industry works such that if participants do not adapt, they will probably find themselves at a disadvantage.

An example is how digital photography replaced the use of chemicals to print photographs and also how video streaming online replaced the need for video rentals from shops which led to the closure of shops like Blockbuster.

For this question, the use of smartphones which also have internet access instead of landlines is a disruptive innovation. Smartphones provide a very convenient means to communicate with others in more ways than a landline could especially with it's access to the internet. This saw most people moving away from the use of landlines in favor of smartphones.  

The correct option to an example of disruptive innovation will be use of smartphones with internet access replacing the use of landlines. The correct option is C.

Disruptive innovation refers to a condition where the innovation of a product completely destroys the purpose of the existing technology in such a way that the usage of such product almost becomes extinct.

The landlines were an important innovation for humans as it enabled the wired routes to communicate with people on their unique line. It saved a lot of time and manpower.

This invention itself was a disruptive invention as it replaced the letter and postcards for communication. However, with the invention of  smartphones with internet access enabled wireless communication.

The invention of a smartphone with internet access were not restricted just to calling but important features like texting, instant messaging, surfing, browsing and sending multimedia files as well.

Hence, the correct option is C that the use of smartphones with internet access replaced the use of landlines is an example of disruptive innovation.

Calculate gross profit ratio and cost of goods sold Refer to the consolidated statements of earnings in the Campbell Soup Company annual report in the appendix.
Required:
a. Calculate the gross profit ratio for each of the past three years.
b. Assume that Campbell's net sales for the first four months of 2015 totaled 527 billion. Calculate an estimated cost of goods sold and gross profit for the four months.

Answers

Answer:

gross profit ratio = (total revenue - cost of goods sold) / total revenue

I looked for the missing information:

year                    total sales                   cost of goods sold

2012                    $7,175                            $4,365

2013                    $8,052                           $5,140

2014                    $8,268                           $5,370

   

a)

gross profit ratio:

2012 = ($7,175 - $4,365) / $7,175 = 39.16%

2013 = ($8,052 - $5,140) / $8,052 = 36.16%

2014 = ($8,268 - $5,370) / $8,268 = 35.05%

b)

since the gross profit margin ratio is decreasing every year, we can assume that it will keep decreasing in 2015. Using linear regression, the slope is -0.02055. So the estimated gross profit margin ratio for 2015 = 34.33%

estimated cogs (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x (1 - 34.33%) = $346.08 billion

estimated gross profit (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x 34.33% = $180.92 billion

Answers

Answer:

Value of stock = $41.75

Explanation:

The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.

value of dividend from year 1 to 3

Year                                                     Present Value  

1               2.28× 1.08^1 × 1.13^(1-) =           2.179

2             2.28× 1.08^2 × 1.13^(-2) =         2.083

3.              2.28 × 1.08^3 × 1.13^(-3)=          1.991

Present value of Dividend in Year 4 and beyond

This will be done in two steps

Step 1  :PV in year 3 terms  

= Dividend in year 4× (1.06)/(0.1-0.06)

2.28 × 1.08^3  × 1.07/(0.13-0.07)=  51.220

step 2 : PV in year 0 terms =

PV in year 3 × 1.1^(-3)

=51.220 × 1.13^(-3)= 35.498

Value of stock =  2.179  +2.083  +1.991 + 35.498 = 41.75

In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.D. Variable costing must be used for external financial reports while full absorption costing can only be used for internal reporting.

Answers

Answer: C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.

Explanation:

Full absorption costing accounts for all the costs involved in making a product including the indirect and the direct costs. That means both variable costs like direct materials and direct labor as well as fixed costs like rent, and insurance are included in the cost of the product.

Variable costing on the other hand expenses fixed manufacturing overhead separately. As a result, Full absorption has a higher cost of inventory than does Variable costing.

"A mutual fund manager of a "high technology" fund feels that the market for this sector will remain flat in the next coming months and he wishes to generate some additional income against his portfolio. The best strategy is to sell:"

Answer:  C.  narrow-based calls

Explanation:

Narrow based calls would include calls from one industry. The mutual fund is an "High technology" firm which means that it is a narrow based fund for instance as it is interested only in one industry being the High Tech industry.

The manager should invest in Narrow based calls that focus on the sector if he anticipates that the market will remain flat for the sector. Narrow based Calls are more volatile because they are specific and with the volatility comes higher premiums to be charged.

Should he wish to make income against the portfolio, he should sell these knowing that the options will not be called as the market will remain flat.

d. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes.

Answers

Answer:

d. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes.

Explanation:

Option a is wrong because:

The initial investment is very high, therefore, the more firms competing will only increase the required investments and fixed costs associated with them, e.g. depreciation, maintenance. That is why the lowest average costs is generally achieved when only one firm serves this type of market.

Option b is wrong because:

A natural monopoly exists because it is extremely difficult for two or more competing firms to exist. Generally the required investment is very high, and the revenues are not large enough to allow two or more firms to compete.

Option c is wrong because:

Utilities require large initial investments, but once they are set up, the production costs are very small. I.e. the fixed costs are more relevant than the variable costs. Average production costs as decrease as the quantity produced increases.

Reed Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2022. During 2022, Reed changed from the double-declining balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $900,000. It had an original useful life of 25 years and a salvage value of $60,000. Purchase date was 1/1/20. The 2022 depreciation expense for the building will be:

Answers

Answer:

$30,511.30

Explanation:

The double declining method was used for two years

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 /25 = 0.08

Depreciation expense in 2020 = 0.08 x $900,000 = $72,000

Book value =  $900,000 - $72,000 = $828,000

Depreciation expense in 2021 = 0.08 x $828,000 = $66,240

book value = $828,000 - $66,240 = $761,760

Straight line depreciation expense = (book value - Salvage value) / useful life

useful life = 25 - 2 = 23

book value = $761,760

salvage value = $60,000.

( $761,760  - $60,000. ) / 23 = $30,511.30

The depreciation expense for the remaining useful life of the asset would $30,511.30

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 37.0 meters of material at $0.50 per meter and 0.10 direct labor hours at $12.00 per hour. Overhead is applied at the rate of $18 per direct labor hour. What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card

Answers

Answer:

Standard cost per unit= $21.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 37.0 meters of material at $0.50 per meter

0.10 direct labor hours at $12.00 per hour.

Overhead is applied at the rate of $18 per direct labor hour.

We need to determine the standard cost per unit:

Direct material= 37*0.5= 18.5

Direct labor= 0.1*12= 1.2

Manufacturing overhead= 0.1*18= 1.8

Standard cost per unit= $21.5

X-treme Vitamin Company is considering two investments, both of which cost $20,000. The cash flows are as follows: Year Project A Project B 1 $ 23,000 $ 20,000 2 10,000 9,000 3 10,000 15,000 Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. a-1. Calculate the payback period for Project A and Project B. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) a-2. Which of the two projects should be chosen based on the payback method

Answers

Answer:

Project A = 0.87 years

Project B =  1 year

2 Project should be chosen because it has a shorter payback period.

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.

For project A, the payback period is $20,000 / $23,000 = 0.87 years

For project B, the payback period is $20,000 / $20,000 = 1 year

Project should be chosen because it has a shorter payback period.

Owen expects to receive at the end of next year from a trust fund. If a bank loans money at an interest rate of ​, how much money can he borrow from the bank on the basis of this​ information?

Answers

Answer: a) $18,605

Explanation:

The amount he can borrow today will be an amount that when grown at a rate of 7.5% per year will equal $20,000 in a year.

20,000 = Amount + ( Amount * rate * time)

20,000 = Amount + (7.5% * Amount)

2,000,000 = 1.075 * Amount

Amount = $18,605

What's the future value of an investment of $1 a year for each of 4 years, at the end of the last year? Suppose the interest rate is 8%.

Answers

Answer:

4.51

Explanation:

We have to calculate fva. The future value of annuity

Here is the formula

Fva = A [( + I)^n-1/I]

Where a = annuity

I = interest rate

N = number of years

Inserting into formula

1[(1+0.08)^4 - 1/0.08]

= 1[(1.36049 - 1)/0.08]

= 4.51

Therefore the future investment is $4.51

Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity company. Its stock has a beta of 1.23. The market risk premium is 6.9 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.7 percent. The company is considering a project that it considers riskier than its current operations so it wants to apply an adjustment of 1.9 percent to the project's discount rate. What should the firm set as the required rate of return for the project

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return for the project will be 13.087%

Explanation:

To calculate the required rate of return for the project, we must first calculate the required rate of return for the firm's equity. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model equation. The formula for required rate of return (r) under this model is,

r = rRf + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

r = 0.027 + 1.23 * 0.069

r = 0.11187 or 11.187%

The discount rate that is usually used for an all equity firm is its required rate of return. Thus, the required rate of return for the project will be,

r = 0.11187 +  0.019

r = 0.13087 or 13.087%

What best explains why a firm's ratio of long-term debt/total capital is lower than the industry average, while the ratio of income before interest and taxes/debt interest charges is higher than the industry average

Answers

Answer:

The lower ratio of long-term debt to total capital is explained by the fact that the company is not highly geared or leveraged in comparison to the industry average firm.

This also explains why the ratio of income before interest and taxes to the debt interest charges is higher than the industry average because the firm does not pay so much in interest expense as the average firm in its industry.

Explanation:

Company X's leverage determines its ratio of long-term debts to total capital.  If Company X has large long-term debts it will have a higher long-term debts to total capital ratio and vice versa.  In that situation, Company X will also pay more in interest, causing its ratio of income before interest and taxes to the interest charges to be higher than the industry average, and vice versa.

pryor frosted flakes company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 4 boxtops from flakes boxes and $1.00. The company estimates that 60% of the boxtops will be redeemed. In 2007, the company sold 500,000 boxes and costumers redeemed 220,000 boxtops receiving 55,000 bowls. if the bowls cost 2.50 each, how much liabilitiy for outstanding premiums should be recorded at the end od 2007?

Answers

Answer: $30,000

Explanation:

Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.

They sold 500,000 boxes

= 500,000 * 60%

= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.

So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;

= 300,000 - 220,000

= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in

4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;

= 80,000/4

= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.

Each bowl costs $2.50 to make.  Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;

= 2.50 - 1

= $1.50

With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;

= 20,000 * 1.5

= $30,000
