Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.5
Explanation:
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (5,420 - 2,925) / (8,870 - 3,880)
Variable cost per unit= $0.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 5,420 - (0.5*8,870)
Fixed costs= $985
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,925 - (0.5*3,880)
Fixed costs= $985
Rabbit Foot Motors has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 5,000 units of its hands-free, Wi-Fi-enabled automotive model—the SMAK—at a price of $18,000 per automobile. Rabbit Foot’s other sales would not be affected by this new customer offer. Rabbit Foot normally produces 100,000 units of its SMAK model per year but only plans to produce and sell 90,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $35,000 per SMAK. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows:

b. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead
c. Normal price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
d. Normal price, direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead.
2. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
a. increase by $_______
b. decrease by $_________
Answer: 1. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
2. Increases by $10,000,000
Explanation:
1. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)
These include special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
2. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
This will be:
= Units × (special order price-variable costs)
= 5000 × ($18000 - $10000 - $2000 - $4000)
= 5000 × $2000
=$10,000,000
Therefore, it increases by $10,000,000
The shadow banking system refers to:______.
a. Non-bank financial firms that acted as banks by borrowing and lending of U.S. Treasury bills in an effort to make a profit.
b. Non-bank financial firms that acted as banks by borrowing and lending in an effort to make a profit.
c. Non-bank financial firms that acted as stock brokers by buying and selling stocks in an effort to make a profit.
d. Non-bank financial firms that provide profit advice to hedge fund managers.
Answer:
b. Non-bank financial firms that acted as banks by borrowing and lending in an effort to make a profit.
Explanation:
A shadow banking system can be described as a group of non-bank financial intermediaries that render services that are similar to the services that normal commercial banks render but the members of the group are not subject to normal banking regulations.
In addition, a shadow baking system can also be described as unregulated services rendered by regulated institutions.
Structured investment vehicles (SIVs), limited-purpose finance companies (LPFCs), asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) conduits, and among others are examples of shadow banks.
Based on this explanation, the correct option is b. Non-bank financial firms that acted as banks by borrowing and lending in an effort to make a profit.

As part of his analysis, Smith computed the Sharpe ratio and the Treynor's measure for all four funds. Based on his finding, the ranks assigned to the four funds are as follows: Fund Treynor Measure Rank Sharpe Ratio Rank A 1 4 B 2 3 C 3 2 D 4 1 The difference in rankings for Funds A and D is most likely due to:
Question Completion with Options:
a. A lack of diversification in fund A as compared to fund D.
b. Different benchmarks used to evaluate each fund’s performance.
c. A difference in risk premiums.
Answer:
The difference in rankings for Funds A and D is most likely due to:
a. A lack of diversification in fund A as compared to fund D.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fund Treynor Measure Rank Sharpe Ratio Rank
A 1 4
B 2 3
C 3 2
D 4 1
b) The Sharpe ratio and the Treynor measure are two financial performance ratios that measure the risk-adjusted rate of return of an investment. Specifically, the Sharpe ratio helps investors to understand an investment's return profile when compared to its risk profile. On the other hand, the Treynor ratio measures the excess return generated for portfolio risk per unit.
In conclusion, the Sharpe ratio appears to be a better measure with a portfolio that is not properly diversified, while the Treynor ratio works better with a well-diversified portfolio.

Acort Industries owns assets that will have a 75% probability of having a market value of $52 million in one year. There is a 25% chance that the assets will be worth only $22 million. The current risk-free rate is 5%, and Acort's assets have a cost of capital of 10%. a) If Acort is unlevered, what is the current market value of its equity? b) Suppose instead that Acort has debt with a face value of $18 million due in one year. According to MM (i.e. perfect market), what is the value of Acort's equity in this case? c) What is the expected return of Acort's equity without leverage? What is the expected return of Acort's equity with leverage? d) What is the lowest possible realized return of Acort's equity with and without leverage?
Solution :
a). The current market value of the unlevered equity
[tex]$=\frac{75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million}}{1+10 \%}$[/tex]
= $ 40.45 million
b). The market value of the equity one year from now is
[tex]$=(75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million})- \$18 \ \text{million}$[/tex]
= $ 44.5 million - $ 18 million
= $ 26.5 million
c). The expected return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The expected return on the equity with the leverage = [tex]$=10\% +\frac{ \$22 \text{ million}}{\$ 26.5 \text{ million}}$[/tex]
= 0.93 %
d). The lowest possible value of equity without the leverage = $20 million - $ 18 million
= $ 2 million
The lowest return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The lowest return on the equity with the leverage = 2 % as the equity is eroded.
Cavy Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,745,300. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 56,300 hours. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate to apply factory overhead. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $fill in the blank 1 per machine hour
Answer:
$31
Explanation:
Given the following information,
Total factory overhead costs = $1,745,300
Direct labor hours = 56,300
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate, we will make use of the formula below;
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs for the period / Total amount of allocation base
= $1,745,300 / 56,300
= $31
Therefore, the predetermined overhead rate to apply to factory overhead is $31
Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate
Answer:
6.46%
Explanation:
Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job
Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job
Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)
Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F
Where F = (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%
Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%
Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed. Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Answer:
(a) Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build. Therefore, Judy cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(a) Judy orally promises her daughter, Liza, that she will give her a tract of land for her home. Liza, as intended by Judy, gives up her homestead and takes possession of the land. Liza lives there for six months and starts construction of a home. Now Judy wants to rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Ralph, knowing that his son, Ed, desires to purchase a tract of land, promises to give him the $25,000 he needs for the purchase. Ed, relying on this promise, buys an option on the tract of land. Now Ralph wants to rescind his promise to Ed.
Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build, and will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
Explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Each of the two cases will be decided based on the principle promissory estoppel.
Promissory estoppel refers to the legal principle that states that despite that there us formal consideration attached to a promise, it is still enforceable by law if the promise from the promisor makes the promisee to rely on the promise to his subsequent detriment.
(a) Will Judy be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build?
Yes, Judy will be required to give her daughter, Liza, the tract of land on which she has started to build.
The is because Liza has relied on the promise from Judy to her subsequent detriment by giving up her up her homestead and already starts construction of a home. Since the Judy promise from Judy induces the action of Liza that is reasonably expected by Judy, he cannot rescind his promise to Liza.
(b) Will Ralph be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land. Can Ralph rescind his promise?
No, Ralph will NOT be required to give his son, Ed $25,000 to purchase a tract of land.
This is because there is Ed has not taken any definite and substantial action to justify that he has relied on the promise from Ralph to his subsequent detriment. It may not be possible to construe the purchase of an option on the tract of land by Ed as a definite and substantial action. Therefore, Ralph can rescind his promise.

Burcham Corporation reported pretax book income of $600,000. Tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $400,000. In addition, the company received $300,000 of tax-exempt municipal bond interest. The company's prior-year tax return showed taxable income of $50,000. Compute the company's book equivalent of taxable income. - Use this number to compute the company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34%.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Pre-tax book income = $600,000
Less: Tax exempt interest = $300,000
Book equivalent of taxable income = $600,000 - $300,000 = $300,000
The company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34% will be:
= 34% × $300,000
= 0.34 × $300,000
= $102,000
Well-managed companies set aside money to pay for emergencies that inevitably arise in the course of doing business. A commercial solid-waste recycling and disposal company in Mexico City puts 0.5% of its after-tax income into such an account. (a) How much will the company have after 7 years if after-tax income averages $15.2 million and inflation and market interest rates are 5% per year and 9% per year, respectively
Answer:
$699,200
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
After tax income = $15,200,000
Amount in account = 0.5% × $15,200,000 = $76,000
Time period = 7 years
inflation = 5%
Interest rate = 9%
So, Total amount after 7 years = $76,000 × (F/A, 9%, 7)
= $76,000 ×[ [tex]((1+.09)^{7}-1 )[/tex] ÷ .09]
= $76,000 × [.82803912082 ÷ .09]
= $76,000 × 9.2
= $699,200

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10.6 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Car Truck
Estimated wheels produced 36,000 11,000
Direct labor hours per wheel 1 3
Total estimated overhead costs for the two product lines are $731,400.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 731,400 / (1*36,000 + 3*11,000)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10.6 per direct labor hour

Required:
Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Designing= 452,795 / 11,900= $38.05 per designer hour
Sizing and cutting= 4,231,150 / 157,000= $36.95 per machine hour
Stitching and trimming= 1,501,000 / 79,000= $19 per labor hour
Wrapping and packing= 327,050 / 31,000= $10.55 per finished unit
When a company uses a
allocation rate there is only one base for allocating all overhead costs to products or other cost objects.
Answer:
company-wide
Explanation:
Using a single company-wide allocation rate implies that only one cost driver (or cost base) is used to allocate all the overhead costs to the product units, batches, departments, or divisions, and other cost objects. This single rate is the plant-wide or company-wide allocation rate. It is opposed to the use of multiple allocation rates, where different rates are calculated and used to allocate overhead costs from different cool pools to the units or activities consuming the services. The company-wide allocation rate is typical with traditional costing method, while the multiple allocation rates are used with ABC costing method.
Last year, Pastis Productions reported $100,000 in sales and $40,000 in cost of goods sold. The company estimates it would have doubled its sales and cost of goods sold had it allowed customers to buy on credit, but it also would have incurred $50,000 in additional expenses relating to wages, bad debts, and interest. Using these estimates, calculate the amount by which Income from Operations would increase (decrease).
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
The computation of the increase or decrease of income from operations is shown below
Without Credit
Income from Operations is
= $100,000 - $40,000
= $60,000
And,
With Credit
Income from Operations is
= 2 × ($100,000 - $40,000) -$50,000
= $70,000
So, there is Increase in Income from Operations i.e.
= $70,000 - $60,000
= $10,000

The question is incomplete. The complete Question is,
Brushy Mountain Mining Company's coal reserves are being depleted, so its sales are falling. Also, environmental costs increase each year, so its costs are rising. As a result, the company's earnings and dividends are declining at the constant rate of 4% per year. If D0 = $2 and rs = 17%, what is the estimated value of Brushy Mountain's stock?
Answer:
P0 = $9.1428 rounded off to 9.14
This answer is for the question above. Change the values and use the same formula if the values differ
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year
g is the constant growth rate in dividends
r is the discount rate or required rate of return
P0 = 2 * (1-0.04) / (0.17 + 0.04)
P0 = $9.1428 rounded off to 9.14

Game Theory and Strategic Choices -- End of Chapter Problem You have developed a new computer operating system and are considering whether you should enter the market and compete with Microsoft. Microsoft has the option of offering their operating system for a high price or a low price. Once Microsoft selects a price, you will decide whether you want to enter the market or not enter the market. If Microsoft charges a high price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $30 million and you will earn $10 million. If Microsoft charges a high price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $60 million and you will earn $0. If Microsoft charges a low price and you enter, Microsoft will earn $20 million and you will lose $5 million. If Microsoft charges a low price and you do not enter, Microsoft will earn $50 million and you will earn $0. Construct a payoff table and find the Nash equilibrium if you and Microsoft both make your decisions simultaneously.
In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will and you will:___________
Answer:
Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .
Explanation:
The Nash equilibrium
You
enter Don't enter
Microsoft high price ( $30 , $10 ) ( $60 , $0 )
Microsoft low price ( $20, -$5 ) ( $50, $0 )
From the Nash equilibrium the best time for you to enter the market is when Microsoft Charges a high price
While the best time for Microsoft is when it charges a high price and you do not enter the market
But considering Simultaneous Move game : Microsoft will choses High price and you will choose to enter the market .
Here is the payoff table:
Enter Don't enter
High 30, 10 60,0
Low 20, -5 50, 0
In a simultaneous move game, Microsoft will charge a high price and you will enter the market.
Game theory studies how participants in a competitive market make the best choice for themselves.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for participants in a competitive market where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
If I enter the market, I can either earn $10 million or lose $5 million. If I don't enter the market, I would earn nothing. The best strategy for me is to enter the market because $5 million is greater than 0.
If Microsoft charges a high price, it can either earn $30 million or $60 million. If the firm charges a low price, it would earn either $20 or $50 million. The best strategy is to charge a high price.

Wesley's recognized gain is _____________, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is __________
Answer:
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.
Explanation:
Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.
If the selling price is $800,000;
Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520

Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods and complete the depreciation schedules below.
(a) Straight-line depreciation.
(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
(d) Double-declining-balance.
Answer:
(a) Straight-line depreciation.
depreciation expense per year = ($315,900 - $15,900) / 4 = $75,000
(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.
depreciation expense per unit = $300,000 / 40,000 = $7.50 per unit
depreciation expense 2014 = $7.50 x 15,000 = $112,500
depreciation expense 2015 = $7.50 x 11,710 = $87,825
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
depreciation expense 2014 = $300,000 x 4/10 = $120,000
depreciation expense 2015 = $300,000 x 3/10 = $90,000
(d) Double-declining-balance.
depreciation expense 2014 = $315,900 x 2 x 1/4 = $157,950
depreciation expense 2015 = $157,950 x 2 x 1/4 = $78,975
depreciation expense 2016 = $78,975 x 2 x 1/4 = $39,487.50
depreciation expense 2017 = $39,487.50 - $15,900 = $23,587.50
