A newly formed firm must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs than locating near the market, but the owners believe there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favor local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $172 in either case.

A monopolist that practices perfect price discrimination has the same deadweight loss triangle as the single-price monopolist.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the price discrimination strategy refers to a technique used by the companies in order to charge different prices to the different consumers regarding the fact of how much would they be able to pay for the product. When it comes to monopolies, a perfect price discrimination strategy would try as best as possible to capture the majority of the zone known as the "consumer surplus". And that is why that a company with a perfect price discrimination would face a small deadweight loss area due to the fact that with that strategy of price the monopolist will absorve as much as possible of that area becuase the triangle is half consumer surplus and half producer surplus.
When modeling the right to develop an oil property as a real option, and in the presence of fixed costs, using oil price volatility in the option-pricing model will
Answer:
overestimate because the value of the option depends on the volatility of revenue
Explanation:
The greater the market volatility, the greater the range that would be needed to determine the option premium. This would end up causing an overestimation of the premium value.
Therefore making use of oil price volatility in the option-pricing model will overestimate as value of option is dependent on how volatile the revenue is.
Wayne, Inc., wishes to expand its facilities. The company currently has 5 million shares outstanding and no debt. The stock sells for $40 per share, but the book value per share is $10. Net income is currently $4 million. The new facility will cost $50 million, and it will increase net income by $820,000. Assume a constant price-earnings ratio.
a-1. Calculate the new book value per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
a-2. Calculate the new EPS. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
a-3. Calculate the new stock price. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
a-4. Calculate the new market-to-book ratio. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
b. What would the new net income for the company have to be for the stock price to remain unchanged? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
a-1. Calculate the new book value per share.
current book value = stocks outstanding x book value = 5,000,000 x $10 = $50,000,000
new book value = $50,000,000 + $50,000,000 = $100,000,000
new stocks issued = $50,000,000 / $40 = 1,250,000
total stocks outstanding = 5,000,000 + 1,250,000 = 6,250,000
new book value per stock = $100,000,000 / 6,250,000 = $16
a-2. Calculate the new EPS.
old EPS = $4,000,000 / 5,000,000 = $0.80 per stock
new EPS = $4,850,000 / 6,250,000 = $0.776 per stock
a-3. Calculate the new stock price.
price to earnings ratio = $40 / $0.80 = 50
new stock price:
50 = new stock price / $0.776
new stock price = 50 x $0.776 = $38.80
a-4. Calculate the new market-to-book ratio.
market to book ratio = market capitalization / book value = $242,500,000 / $100,000,000 = 2.425
b. What would the new net income for the company have to be for the stock price to remain unchanged?
0.8 = net income / 6,250,000
net income = 6,250,000 x 0.8 = $5,000,000

Bond payable Dr $78,000
Loss on redemption Dr $5,265
Discount on bonds payable Cr $1,755
Cash. Cr 81,510
Explanation:
Bonds issued at 97%
$390,000 × 97%
= $378,300
Discount difference between cash proceeds and face value
= $390,000 -$378,300
= $11,700
If bonds are discounted using straight line,
$11,700 ÷ 20 year
= $585
At 2022, there is 5 amortization
= $585 × 5
= $2,925
Discount value
= $11,700 - $2,925
= $8,775
Carrying value
= $390,000 - $8,775
= $381,225
Therefore, $390,000 bonds payable × 20% × 104.5%
= $81,510
Carrying book value of 20%
$381,225 × 20%
= $76,245
Loss on redemption
= $81,510 - $76,245
= $5,265
Therefore,
20% of the face value
= $390,000 × 20%
= $78,000
20% of the discount
= $8,775 × 20%
= $1,755
Loss on redemption = $5,265
Cash disbursement = $81,510

Useful life should reflect the periods over which the asset will contribute to cash flows. d. Amortization should be cost less residual value. e. IFRS requires companies to assess the residual values and useful lives of intangible assets at least annually. f. None of the above
Answer:
Amortization of Limited-Life Intangibles:
f. None of the above
Explanation:
IFRS requires limited-life intangibles to be systemically amortized throughout their useful lives using either units of activity method or straight-line method. Intangibles are amortized to reduce their values as per use over their lifespan. Amortization is like depreciation, but depreciation is a term used for tangible assets, while amortization is used for intangible assets.
Mogul Company ships merchandise to Ski Outfit in a consignment arrangement. The arrangement specifies that Ski Outfit will attempt to sell the merchandise, and in return, Mogul will pay to Ski Outfit a commission of 25% of the selling price on any merchandise sold. During the year, Mogul ships inventory with a cost of $81,000 to Ski Outfit and pays shipping costs of $8,700. By the end of the year, $61,000 of the merchandise has been sold to customers for a total of $86,000. Mogul allocates $6,500 of the shipping costs to inventory sold and the other $2,200 to inventory not sold. Mogul also paid advertising costs during the year of $10,500. What amount of inventory will Mogul report at year end
Answer:
$22,200
Explanation:
With regards to the above information Mogul company,
Cost of goods
= $81,000 + $8,700
= $89,700
= $61,000 + $6,500
= $67,500
Inventory = Cost of goods - Cost of goods sold
= $89,700 - $67,500
= $22,200
It therefore means that the amount of inventory Magu company will report at the year end is $22,200

Burpee sets their prices so that they earn an average 32% gross profit on sales revenue. What is budgeted cost of goods sold for the first quarter (January, February and March)?
Answer:
Total COGS= $5,123,006.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
January= $2,038,635
February= $2,581,891
March= $2,913,307
Burpee sets their prices so that they earn an average 32% gross profit on sales revenue.
We need to calculate the cost of goods sold:
January= 2,038,635*0.68= 1,386,271.8
February= 2,581,891*0.68= 1,755,685.88
March= 2,913,307*0.68= 1,981,048.76
Total COGS= $5,123,006.44

Management expects to sell two deluxe quadcopters for every three standard quadcopters. The company's monthly fixed expenses are $14,700. How many of each type of quadcopter must Rally sell monthly to breakeven?
To earn $10,500?
First identify the formula to compute the sales in units at various levels of operating income using the contribution margin approach.
Answer:
Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe
Explanation:
Standard Deluxe Total
Sales price per unit $45 $65
Less: Variable cost ($35) ($45)
Contribution Margin per unit $10 $20
Sales Mix units (A) $3 $2 $5
Contribution margin $30 $40 $70
Weighted average Contribution $14
per unit C= B/A
Appointment of fixed cost between standard and deluxe
Total Fixed cost = 14,700
Break even point = Fixed cost / Weighted average Contribution per unit
= 14,700 / 14
= 1,050
Apportionment of Break even point sales between Standard and deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)
Standard = 1,050 * 3/5 = 630
Deluxe = 1,050 * 2/3 = 420
Unit to be sold to get desired profit = Fixed cost + Desired profit / Weighted average Contribution per unit
= (14,700 + 10,500) / 14
= 1,800
Apportionment of Units to be sold to get desired profit between Standard and Deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)
Standard = 1,800 * 3/5 = 1,080
Deluxe = 1,800 * 2/5 = 720
To reach target operating income, Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe
Suppose that on August 14, 2019, an antique woven rug handmade in Canada is priced at CAD 1,100. The approximate U.S. dollar price of the rug would be
Answer:
USD 825.95Explanation:
Step one:
To tackle this problem we need data from historical chart.
From historical chart, on August 14, 2019, 1 USD is equivalent to CAD 1.3318
Step two:
From the historical data we need to perform conversion on the data to get the USD equivalent of the CAD given in the problem
Hence
if 1 USD = CAD 1.3318 then
x USD = CAD 1,100
by cross multiplying we have
x USD= 1,100/ 1.3318
x USD= 825.95
Hence as at August 14, 2019 CAD 1,100 is USD 825.95

King Company issued bonds with a face amount of $1,600,000 in 2015. As of January 1, 2020, the balance in Discount on Bonds Payable is $4,800. At that time, King redeemed the bonds at 102.Required:Assuming that no interest is payable, make the entry to record the redemption.
Answer:
January 1, 2020
Bonds Payable 1600000 Dr
Loss on Redemption of bonds 36800 Cr
Discount on Bonds Payable 4800 Cr
Cash 1632000 Cr
Explanation:
The redemption of bonds before the maturity usually requires a payment for redemption which is a certain percentage of its face value. It is usually higher than the face value. The above bonds are redeemed at 102 which means at 102% of the face value of the bonds. Thus, the cash paid to redeem the bonds is,
Cash = 1600000 * 102% = 1632000
The bonds have a carrying value, which is the face value less discount or add premium, of,
Carrying value = 1600000 - 4800 = $1595200
If they are redeemed for an amount in excess of the carrying value, they are redeemed at a loss.
The loss on redemption is,
Loss = 1595200 - 1632000 = $36800

Sales $4,000,000
Variable costs 3,200,000
Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Management is considering the following independent alternative courses of action in 2020 in order to maximize the return on investment for the division.
1. Reduce controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs.
2. Reduce average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin.
3. Increase sales $500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage.
Compute the return on investment for 2019.
Answer:
The Atlantic Division of Stark Productions Company
Return on Investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100
1. Reduced controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs:
Net Income = $530,000 ($500,000 + 30,000)
Return on investment = $530,000/$2,500,000 x 100
= 21.2%
2. Reduced average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin:
Net Income = $500,000 and average operating assets = $2,250,000
Return on Investment = $500,000/$2,250,000 x 100
= 22.22%
3. Increased sales to $4,500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage:
Sales $4,500,000
Variable costs 3,600,000
Contribution $900,000
Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Net operating income $600,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Return on Investment = $600,000/$2,500,000 x 100
= 24%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales $4,000,000
Variable costs 3,200,000
Contribution $800,000
Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Net operating income $500,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Return on investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100 = $500,000/$2,500,000 x 100 = 20%
Contribution margin ratio = $800,000/$4,000,000 x 100 = 20%
The Atlantic Division's Return on Investment, as a performance measure, evaluates the efficiency of the investment in Atlantic Division. This ratio is obtained by dividing the returns or benefits of the investment by the cost of the investment, and then multiplying by 100.
A producer can produce a product at a variable cost per unit of $7. The producer can sell the product for $10 each. If the fixed cost is $60,000.
Required:
a. How many units must the producer sell to break-even?
b. What is revenue at 35,000 units?
c. What is total cost at 35,000 units?
d. How many units must the producer sell in order to earn a profit of $60,000?
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
Units required for target profit = 40000 units
Explanation:
a.
The break even in units is the number of units that must be sold in order to earn enough total revenue as to cover total costs. The break even in units can be calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = 10 - 7 =$3
Break even in units = 60000 / 3
Break even in units = 20000 units
b.
Revenue = Price * Quantity
Revenue at 35000 units = 10 * 35000
Revenue at 35000 units = $350000
c.
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total cost (35000 units) = 7 * 35000 + 60000
Total cost (35000 units) = $305000
d.
To calculate the units required to earn a target profit, we simply add the target profit amount to the fixed costs in the break even in units equation.
Thus, the number of units required to earn a target profit of $60000 is,
Units required for target profit = (60000 + 60000) / 3
Units required for target profit = 40000 units
air pollution causes capital to wear out more rapidly, doubling the rate of depreciation. How would this affect economic growth?
Answer:
The economic growth will be lower.
Explanation:
The rise in pollution and the doubling of the rate of depreciation will affect economic growth adversely. However, rapid wear and tear of capital will cost the person and it will reduce the purchasing power. Thus, lower purchasing power will result in lower economic growth. Moreover, pollution creates three main problems that are reduced labor productivity, rise in health problems, and loss of crop yield. So the reduction in all these factors will also slow down economic growth.
