Felix's profit is maximized when he produces teddy bears. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear he produces is $ , which is than the price Felix receives for each teddy bear he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy bear (that is, one more teddy bear than would maximize his profit) is $ , which is than the price Felix receives for each teddy bear he sells. Therefore, Felix's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Felix is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as .
The Down and Out Co. just issued a dividend of $2.91 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 6 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $35 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
14.81%
Explanation:
Cost of equity = (Dividend for next period / Current price) + Growth rate
Cost of equity = (($2.91*1.06) / $35) + 0.06
Cost of equity = $3.0846/$35 + 0.06
Cost of equity = 0.08813143 + 0.06
Cost of equity = 0.14813143
Cost of equity = 14.81%

9. Suppose Betty saves $200 each month in her 401(k) account. How much less will her monthly take-home pay be than if she saved nothing? (Assume a combined 20% state and federal income tax rate.)
Answer:
$160
Explanation:
The way 401(k) savings work is that employees can save from their earnings before tax is deducted, which means that on the $200 saved no tax is deducted, hence, the take of the employee reduces by $200
When there are savings, a tax of 20% would have been deducted from the $200, as a result, the employee would be left with $160($200-($200*20%)), which means that take-home would reduce by $40, the amount tax deducted.
The reduction in take-home=$200-$40
The reduction in take-home=$160

Inflation is a tax on holding money. D. Inflation occurs when real GDP grows more rapidly than the quantity of money.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels
Inflation occurs when quantity of money grows faster than real GDP
Types of inflation
1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise
2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect
Shoe leather cost is when people try to spend money immediately so they would not be holding money for a long time. This is because money loses its value in an inflation.
Because inflation causes money to lose its value, it can be viewed as a form of tax on holding money This is because, tax reduces the amount of money a person has. Also, does inflation reduce the value of money a person has
On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $115,000
Salvage value= $15,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $20,000

Project 1 requires an original investment of $125,000. The project will yield cash flows of $50,000 per year for 10 years. Project 2 has a computed net present value of $135,000 over an eight-year life. Project 1 could be sold at the end of eight years for a price of $8,000. (a) Using the present value tables in Exhibits 2 and 5, determine the net present value of Project 1 over an eight-year life, with residual value, assuming
Answer: $126,613
Explanation:
Net Present value of Project A is:
= Present value of $50,000 annuity + Present value of residual value - Initial investment
Present value of $50,000 annuity:
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 12%) ⁻⁸) / 12%
= $248,382
Present value of residual value:
= 8,000 / ( 1 + 12%)⁸
= $3,231
Net present value
= 248,382 + 3,231 - 125,000
= $126,613

MC Qu. 157 West Company estimates that overhead costs... West Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,600,000 for indirect labor and $880,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate
Answer:
$35,84 per machine hour
Explanation:
Plantwide overhead rate = Budgeted overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
where,
Budgeted overheads = $3,600,000 + $880,000 = $4,480,000
Budgeted Activity = 125,000 machine hours
therefore,
Plantwide overhead rate = $4,480,000 ÷ 125,000
= $35,84 per machine hour
A firm has taxes of $2,000, interest expense of $1,000, EBIT of $7,500, common stock dividends of $1,500, and preferred dividends of $1,200. What is the profit margin if sales are $22,000
Answer:
the profit margin is 15%
Explanation:
The computation of the profit margin is shown below:
= (EBIT - interest - taxes - preferred dividend) ÷ Sales
= ($7,500 - $1,000 - $2,000 - $1,200) ÷ $22,000
= $3,300 ÷ $22,000
= 15%
Hence, the profit margin is 15%

1. Inventory that consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have not yet entered the manufacturing process is known as ________. work in process inventory materials inventory finished goods inventory None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
materials inventory
Explanation:
An inventory is a term used to describe a list of finished goods, goods still in the production line and raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of more goods in a bid to meet the unending consumer demands.
Basically, an inventory can be classified into three (3) main categories and these are; finished goods, work in progress, and raw materials.
An inventory is recorded as a current asset on the balance sheet because it's primarily the most important source of revenue for a business entity.
Generally, the three (3) main cost concept associated with an inventory include;
1. First In First Out (FIFO).
2. Last In First Out (LIFO).
3. Weighted average cost.
In Financial accounting, direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
Materials inventory can be defined as an inventory that comprises of direct and indirect materials costs which have not been used in a manufacturing process.
Viviano Corporation issued a new bond, and hired your bank as its underwriter. In an upcoming talk with its CFO, you are expected to explain the effect of market interest rate. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?
a. increase the coupon rate
b. decrease the coupon rate
c. increase the market price
d. decrease the market price
e. increase the time period
Answer: d. decrease the market price
Explanation:
Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.
The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.
The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.
A company reported the following asset and liability balances at the end of 2015 and 2016:
2015 2016
Assets $150,000 $180,000
Liabilities $70,000 $80,000
If the company paid dividends totaling $5,000, what is the amount of net income for 2016?
A. $20,000.B. $105,000.C. $80,000.D. $25,000.
Answer:
D. $25,000
Explanation:
The equity is the difference between assets and liabilities
Opening equity=$150,000-$70,000
opening equity=$80,000
Ending equity=$180,000-$80,000
ending equity=$100,000
The ending equity formula below can be used to derive the net income for 2016:
ending equity=beginning equity+ net income-dividends
The net income increases the amount of ending equity while dividends decrease it.
net income=unknown
dividends=$5000
$100,000=$80,000+net income-$5000
net income=$100,000-$80,000+$5,000
net income=$25,000
