Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing financial difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below: Sales (12,800 units × $20 per unit) $ 256,000 Variable expenses 153,600 Contribution margin 102,400 Fixed expenses 114,400 Net operating loss $ (12,000 ) Required: 1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales. 2. The president believes that a $6,700 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $84,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the increase (decrease) in the company’s monthly net operating income?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (12,800 units × $20 per unit) $256,000
Variable expenses 153,600 (12)
Contribution margin 102,400
Fixed expenses 114,400 Net operating loss $ (12,000 )
First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio and the break-even point in units and dollars:
Contribution margin ratio= unitary CM / Selling price
Contribution margin ratio= total CM / Sales
Contribution margin ratio= 102,400 / 256,000
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 114,400 / (20 - 12)
Break-even point in units= 14,300
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 114,400 / 0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $286,000
Now, we need to calculate the effect on the income of increasing the advertising budget:
Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 84,000*0.4 - 6,700
Effect on income= $26,900 increase

Song, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 22,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $33.40 per hour. When activity jumped to 25,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $30.40. On the basis of this information, the fixed cost was:
Answer:
$550,000
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost is shown below:
But before that the variable cost per hour is
= (25,000 ×$30.40 - 22,000 × $33.40) ÷ (25,000 - 22,000)
= ($760,000 - $734,800) ÷ (3,000)
= $8.4
Now the fixed cost is
= $760,000 - (25,000 × $8.4)
= $550,000

cost reductions in operating costs.
the salvage value of the investment at the end of its useful life
tax savings generated by depreciation expense.
Cash outflows reduces the cash available in a project. They are usually subtracted
they include
the original cost paid for the capital investment.
working capital investment
A project is profitable if cash inflow exceeds cash outflow
Typical cash inflows of a capital investment project do not include the original cost paid for the capital investment.
A capital investment project is regarded as a project that aims at increasing the assets of the business. The inflows in these projects are derived when cash outflows are subtracted from revenues and cash flows of the project.
Therefore, the original cost that would be paid for the capital investment becomes part of cash outflow from the business, which decreases the total availability of cash.

n January 1, 2018, the Shagri Company began construction on a new manufacturing facility for its own use. The building was completed in 2019. The only interest-bearing debt the company had outstanding during 2018 was long-term bonds with a book value of $11,600,000 and an effective interest rate of 11%. Construction expenditures incurred during 2018 were as follows: January 1 $ 660,000 March 1 696,000 July 31 576,000 September 30 760,000 December 31 460,000 Required: Calculate the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.
Answer:
$183,700
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.
First step is to calculate the Accumlated expenditure
Date Expenditure * Weight = Average
January 1 660000 * 12/12 =660,000
March 1 696000 * 10/12 = 580,000
July 31 576000 * 5/12 = 240,000
September 30 760000 * 3/12 =190,000
December 31 460000 * 0/12 = 0
Accumulated expenditure=660,000+580,000+240,000+190,000
Accumulated expenditure=$1,670,000
Now let determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018
Interest capitalized for 2018=$1,670,000 * 11%
Interest capitalized for 2018=$183,700
Therefore the amount of interest capitalized for 2018 is $183,700
Sassy, Inc. needs $115 million to build a new distribution center. If it issues common stock to raise the funds, the issuance costs will be 8 percent of the total amount issued. If Sassy can issue stock at $40 per share, how many shares of common stock must be issued so that it has $115 million after flotation costs to use to fund the construction of the distribution center
Answer: 3,125,000 shares.
Explanation:
The number of shares of common stock that must be issued will be calculated as follows:
Let the amount to be raised be represented by x. Therefore,
x - (8% × x) = $115 million
x - (0.08 × x) = $115 million
x - 0.08x = $115 million
0.92x = $115 million
x = $115 million/0.92
x = $125 million
Then the number of shares that'll be issued will be:
= Amount raised / Issue price of stock.
= $125 million / 40
= 3,125,000 shares.

John believes his sales team's performance is due to outside forces, like economic and market factors. Which of the following best describes is John's locus of control?
a. External
b. Market driven
c. Internal
d. Based on labor trends.
Answer:
a. External

Leisure Enterprise’s total cost of producing speedboats is given by TC = 10 Q 3 – 4 Q 2 + 25 Q + 500. On the basis of this information, the marginal cost of producing the 25th speedboat is:
Answer:
The marginal cost of producing the 25th speedboat is 18,575.
Explanation:
Note that the given Leisure Enterprise’s total cost (TC) of producing speedboats is correctly stated as follows:
TC = 10Q^3 - 4Q^2 + 25^Q + 500 …….………….. (1)
Where Q represents the quantity of speedboats produced.
To obtain the marginal cost (MC) of producing speedboats, equation (1) is differentiated with respect to Q as follows:
MC = dTC/dQ = 30Q^2 - 8Q + 25 ………………… (2)
Finding the marginal cost (MC) of producing the 25th speedboat implies that Q = 25.
Substituting Q = 25 into equation (2), we have:
MC = (30 * 25^2) - (8 * 25) + 25 = 18,575
Therefore, the marginal cost of producing the 25th speedboat is 18,575.

Networked organizations are so closely linked online that each can find out what the others are doing instantaneously, as an event takes place. These organizations operate
Answer: b. in real time
Explanation:
When something is said to operate in real time, it means that is is happening instantaneously. Networked organizations that are so closely linked that their actions are seen instantaneously are therefore operating in real time.
These organizations can be in multiple countries but doing work on a similar platform. For instance, people around the world could be working on a single Go-0gle Sheets file and seeing the changes they all make in real time.
Networked organizations are so closely linked online that each can find out what the others are doing instantaneously, as an event takes place. These organizations operate in real-time. Hence option B is correct.
The key characteristic of networked organizations is their ability to access and exchange information rapidly, allowing them to respond quickly to changes and make informed decisions.
In networked organizations, individuals, teams, departments, or even entire organizations are connected through digital networks and communication platforms.
This enables them to share data, knowledge, and resources in real-time, fostering collaboration, coordination, and synergy among different entities.

Suppose Baa-rated bonds currently yield 6.1%, while Aa-rated bonds yield 4.1%. Now suppose that due to an increase in the expected inflation rate, the yields on both bonds increase by 1.0%. What would happen to the confidence index? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
Answer:
Confidence index increases from 0.6721 to 0.7183
Explanation:
The computation of the confidence index is shown below:
Initial Confidence Index is
= Aa-rated bonds yield ÷ Baa-rated bonds yield
= 4.1% ÷ 6.1%
= 0.6721
Since the yields on both bonds increase by 1.0%
So, the confidence index after increase in yield is
= (4.1% + 1%) ÷ (6.1% + 1%)
= 0.7183
So, Confidence index increases from 0.6721 to 0.7183
