Required:
1. Compute the company-wide break-even point in dollar sales.
2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.
3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Company-wide break-even point in dollar sales:

Break even point in dollar sales = (Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses) / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 240,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 30%

Break even point in dollar sales :

=  (122,000 + 52,000) / 30%

= $580,000

2. Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 600,000 * 100%

= 20%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 20%

= $305,000

3. Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 200,000 * 100%

= 60%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 60%

= $101,666.67

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.  

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = $-81,500

Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $36,500

Cash flow in year 3 and 4 = $31,500

I - = 10%

NPV = $27,028.45

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Kremena's bank account earns 4.5% simple interest. How much must she deposit in the account today if she wants it to be worth $1,250 in 3 years

Answers

Answer:

$1,101.32

Explanation:

Simple interest accounts balances are calculated using the following formula

A = P ( 1 + rt)

where:

A = final account balance

P = starting balance

r = interest rate (annually) percentage divided by 100

t = years

Therefore, we can plug in the values provided in this formula and solve for P which would be the amount that Kremena needs to deposit.

1,250 = P ( 1 + (0.045 * 3))

1,250 = P * 1.135  ... divide both sides by 1.135

1,101.32 = P

Finally, we can see that Kremena would need to deposit a total of $1,101.32 to have the amount that she wants after 3 years.

The Devon Motor Company produces automobiles. On April 1st the company had no beginning inventories and it purchased 8,000 batteries at a cost of $80 per battery. It withdrew 7,600 batteries from the storeroom during the month. Of these, 100 were used to replace batteries in cars being used by the company’s traveling sales staff. The remaining 7,500 batteries withdrawn from the storeroom were placed in cars being produced by the company. Of the cars in production during April, 90 percent were completed and transferred from work in process to finished goods. Of the cars completed during the month, 30 percent were unsold at April 30th. Required: 1. Determine the cost of batteries that would appear in each of the following accounts on April 30th.

Answer:

The Devon Motor Company

The cost of batteries that would appear in each of the following accounts on April 30th:

a) raw materials =                                   $32,000

b) work in process =                              $60,000

c) finished goods =                               $162,000

d) cost of goods sold =                        $378,000

e) selling expense =                                $8,000

Total cost of batteries purchased =  $640,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory = 0

Purchase of batteries = 8,000 at $80 = $640,000

Used batteries =            7,600

Ending inventory =           400 at $80 = $32,000 raw materials

Used batteries =            7,600:

Selling expenses =            100 * $80 = $8,000

Work in process =         7,500

Ending WIP =   (7,500 - 6,750) * $80 = $60,000

Finished goods = 90%  6,750 * $80 = $540,000

Ending inventory 30%   2,025 * $80 = $162,000

Cost of goods sold 70% 4,725 * $80 = $378,000

Explanation:

A student borrows $95,000 for business school at 4.5% stated annual interest with monthly repayment over 9 years. Consider this as a loan with no payments or interest during school so that the problem structure is equivalent to a standard loan received one period before the first payment. Suppose that to better match expected student salary growth over time, the loan is structured as a growing annuity with each monthly payment growing by 0.3% compared to the previous monthly payment. How much is the first monthly payment

Answers

Answer:

$918.70 or $900

Explanation:

The computation of the first monthly payment is given below:

Interest rate per Month is

= Annual Rate ÷ 12

= 4.50% ÷ 12

= 0.375%

Now

Present Value of Growing Annuity = First payment × (1 - ((1 + Growth Rate) ÷ (1 + Interest Rate))^Periods) × 1 ÷  (Interest Rate - Growth Rate)

95000 = First payment × (1 - ((1 + 0.30%) ÷ (1 + 0.375%))^108) × 1 ÷ (0.375% - 0.30%)

95000 = First payment × (1 - 0.999252^108) × 1 ÷ (0.075%)

95000 = First payment × (1 - 0.92244) × 1 ÷ (0.075%)

95000 = First payment × 103.4067

First payment = $918.70 or $900

At year-end, Barr Co. had shipped $12,500 of merchandise FOB destination to Lee Co. Which company should include the $12,500 of merchandise in transit as part of its year-end inventory?

Equilibrium in financial markets occurs at an interest rate where the quantity of loanable funds demanded is

Answers

Answer: c. equal to the quantity of loanable funds supplied.

Explanation:

Equilibrium in any market occurs when the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied and the loanable funds market are no different except that the quantity that is demanded and supplied in this market is the loanable funds and the price is the interest rate.

When the interest rate being offered by the financial institutions lending money is the same as the one being demanded by the people and companies who want loanable funds, the market is said to be in equilibrium.

Bloom Corporation purchased $1,450,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds, at their face amount, with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2025, so Bloom classifies its investment as AFS. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt securities market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $960,000 during 2021.

Required:
For each of the following scenarios, prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2018, and indicate how the scenario will affect the 2018 income statement (ignoring income taxes).

a. Bloom now believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $490,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $295,000 to credit losses, and $195,000 to noncredit losses.
b. Bloom does not plan to sell the Taylor bonds prior to maturity, and does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value.

Any effort by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to evaluate expected deceptive marketing practices would be seriously flawed because it would mean punishing business on the basis of what the FTC thinks might happen rather than on what actually does happen.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market

Corporations differ from partnerships and other forms of business association in two ways. One of these is that:________.
a. they are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
b. they are formed simply by an agreement entered into among their members.
c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
d. their shareholders are entitled to their share of the company's profits as soon as they are ascertained or determined.

Answers

Answer: c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.

Explanation:

Corporations tend to have many shareholders who would get hurt if the company fails and for this reason they are regulated by the law. They must be publicly registered to allow people to purchase and sell shares and they must have the official acknowledgement of the law.

The formation of a corporation can be complicated and require a relatively high number of legal processes and corporations are not regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.

Also, even though shareholders are technically entitled to the company's profits, they don't get to collect it immediately because the company needs money to function and grow.

Bob sells the vegetables he grows in a farmer's market. Bob is a little disorganized and has been looking for a good way to track his sales. If Bob creates a database to track the sales of vegetables, what is the appropriate relationship between orders and products?

Answers

Answer:

The appropriate relationship between orders and products is a one-to-many relationship.

Explanation:

A one-to-many relationship simply means that one order by a customer can be for many products, vegetables in this instance.  When Bob receives a customer's order for products, the customer may order more than one type of vegetables because customers buying vegetables always love variety.  Therefore, the database to track the sales of vegetables may need to track one order to various datasets containing the customer's order.

The privately-owned school system in Smalltown has a virtually unlimited capacity. It accepts all applicants and operates on both tuition and private donations. Although every resident places value on having an educated community, the school's revenues have suffered lately due to a large decline in private donations from the elderly population. Since the benefit that each citizen receives from having an educated community is a public good, which of the following would not be correct?
a. The free-rider problem causes the private market to undersupply education to the community
b. The govemment can potentially help the market reach a socially optimal level of education.
c. A tax increase to pay for education could potentially make the community better off.
d. The private market is the best way to supply education.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The privately-owned school system in Smalltown generates  positive externality to members of SmalltownA good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

The free rider problem is a form of market failure. It occurs when people benefit from a good or service of communal nature and do not pay to enjoy these services.

The free rider has caused a decline in revenues and did not cause the private market to undersupply education to the community

When Chernobyl melted down in the Soviet Union, the: a. price of U.S. basketballs increased. b. prices of assets reacted slowly to the information. c. price of U.S. potatoes increased. d. stock prices of U.S. nuclear plants increased.

Answers

Answer: d. stock prices of U.S. nuclear plants increased.

Explanation:

Chernobyl was a nuclear power plant in the former Soviet Union that was being used to produce electricity until it suffered a meltdown that effectively rendered the surrounding areas unlivable.

In response to this disaster, the stock prices of U.S. nuclear power plants went up because the Soviet meltdown not only reduced the supply of nuclear powered electricity but also showed that American engineering was superior and so people bought more American nuclear plant shares which took its price up.

However, similar to bonds, preferred stockholders receive a fixed payment—their dividend—before the company’s residual earnings are paid out to its common stockholders and, as with common stock, preferred stockholders can benefit from an appreciation in the value of the firm’s stock securities. Consider the following case of Wellington Industries: Wellington Industries pays an annual dividend rate of 8.00% on its preferred stock that currently returns 10.72% and has a par value of $100.00 per share. What is the value of Wellington’s preferred stock?

Answers

Answer: $74.63

Explanation:

Preferred shares are treated like perpetuities which means that the value is:

= Annual dividend/required return

Annual dividend:

= Dividend rate * Par value

= 8% * 100

= $8.00

Value of share = 8 / 10.72%

= $74.6269

= $74.63

The net present value of the project is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$144,128

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what net present value of the project is closest to:

Initial investment = $250,000

Annual cash flow = $119,000

Expected life of project (n) = 4 years

Discount rate (i) = 8%

First step is to calculate the Present value of cash flows using this formula

Present value of cash flows = Annual cash flow x Present value annuity factor (i%, n)

Let plug in the formula

Present value of cash flows= 119000 x Present value annuity factor (8%, 4)

Present value of cash flows= 119,000 x 3.312

What is a bond?

A bond is a sort of security used in finance where the issuer owes the holder a debt and is required, depending on the terms, to repay the principal and interest on the bond at the maturity date.

The interest is typically due at predetermined intervals, such semiannually, annually, and less frequently at various times.

A bond is therefore a type of loan or IOU. With the help of bonds, the borrower can finance long-term investments or, in the case of government bonds, current expenses.

Although both stocks and bonds are considered securities, stockholders have an equity ownership in a corporation, whereas bondholders have a creditor stake.

Bondholders have precedence over stockholders in terms of debt. In the event of bankruptcy, they will receive payment before stockholders but after secured creditors.

Another distinction is that, unlike stocks, which often have an unlimited shelf life, bonds typically have a defined term, or maturity, after which the bond is repaid.

What IHRM activities would be pertinent to the sending, by Médecins Sans Frontieres, of a medical team into a country such as Bangladesh?

Answers

Answer:

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 variable cost per machine hour was:___________A. $8.40.B. $22.00.C. $25.00.D. $30.40.E. $33.40.

Answers

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $8.4

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total cost for each level of machine hours:

Low activity level:

Total cost= 22,000*33.4= $734,800

High activity level:

Total cost= 25,000*30.4= $760,000

Now, we can determine the variable and fixed costs:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (760,000 - 734,800) / (25,000 - 22,000)

Variable cost per unit= $8.4

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 760,000 - (8.4*25,000)

Fixed costs= $550,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 734,800 - (8.4*22,000)

Fixed costs= $550,000
