Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $350 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $315,000, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $245 per 100 yards of XT rope.
Required:
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars.
2. Prepare a CVP chart for Product XT. Use 7,000 units (700,000 yards/100 maximum number of sales units on the horizontal axis of the graph, and $1,400,000 as the maximum dollar amount on the vertical axis.
3. Prepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.

Less Fixed Costs                                              ( $315,000)

Operating Profit                                                 $420,000

Explanation:

Break-even point (sales units ) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                                                   = $315,000 ÷ ($350 - $245)

                                                   = 3,000

Break-even point (sales dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                     = $315,000 ÷ ($105/$350)

Break-Even Sales and Sales to Realize Income from OperationsFor the current year ended October 31, Friedman Company expects fixed costs of $14,300,000, a unit variable cost of $250, and a unit selling price of $380.a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize income from operations of $2,405,000.units

Answers

Answer:

a. 110,000 units

b. 128,500 units

Explanation:

a. Compute the anticipated break even sales in unit

Break even point in unit = Total fixed cost / Contribution margin

Total fixed cost = $14,300,000

Contribution margin per unit = Unit selling price - Unit variable cost

= $380 - $250

= $130

Break even point in units = $14,300,000 / $130

= 110,000 units

b. Compute sales (units) required to realize income from operations of $2,405,000

Break even point + expected profits = (total fixed costs + expected profits) / Contribution margin

° total fixed cost + expected profits

= $14,300,000 + $2,405,000

= $16,705,000

°contribution margin per unit

= $380 - $250

= $130

Break even point + expected profits in unit

= $16,705,000 / $130

= 128,500 units

If an investor's aversion to risk increased, would the risk premium on a high beta stock increase by more or less than that of a low-beta stock? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

risk premium increases by more of the low - beta stock

A risk averse investor is an investor that avoids risk. if risk aversion increases, it means that the investor is more wary of risky investment.

Beta measures the volatility of a portfolio. the higher the volatility, the more risky the portfolio is.

risk premium measures the rate of return in excess of the risk free rate.

According to CAPM :

risk free rate + (beta x stock risk premium)

Beta is a multiplier of stock risk premium, so the higher the beta, the more there would be an increase in the stock risk premium

If a risk averse investor invests in a high beta stock, he would want extra or higher compensation for holding such a volatile stock. this extra compensation would be in the form of a higher risk premium.

The Sherman Antitrust Act: Multiple Choice was passed in 1800. All of these statements are true. was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century. no longer applies to business practices today.

Answers

Answer: Was actively used by President Roosevelt in the early 20th century.

Explanation:

The Sherman Act of 1890 was a law passed by Congress to target monopolies in the United States. At the time, Trusts had been in existence. Trusts were in effect monopolies because they worked by getting the largest stockholders to transfer their stock to a single trust and get profits from all companies in the trust. This Trust would then in effect control the industry as a monopoly.

To combat this, the Sherman Act enabled the Federal Government to go against Trusts and dissolve them. This was good news to President Theodore Roosevelt who ruled from 1901 to 1909. Roosevelt hated the anti-competitive tactics of the rich that ripped off the poor. He believed that this would bring about a revolution and he also hated them as the big corporations thought themselves above the law in his assessment.

Using the Sherman Act, he went against them with so much vigor that he earned the nickname, The Trust Buster. He started with a Trust controlled by J.P. Morgan called Northern Securities Company which was dissolved by the Supreme Court after the Attorney General under Roosevelt brought a suit against them.

Answer the following questions. 1. A company has an inventory of 1,200 assorted parts for a line of missiles that has been discontinued. The inventory cost is $71,000. The parts can be either​ (a) remachined at total additional costs of $24,000 and then sold for $32,000 or​ (b) sold as scrap for $5,000. Which action is more​ profitable? Show your calculations. 2. A​ truck, costing $104,000 and​ uninsured, is wrecked its first day in use. It can be either​ (a) disposed of for $15,500 cash and replaced with a similar truck costing $105,500 or​ (b) rebuilt for $85,500​, and thus be​ brand-new as far as operating characteristics and looks are concerned. Which action is less​ costly? Show your calculations.

Answers

Answer:

1) the $71,000 is considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered.

option A yields $32,000 - $24,000 = $8,000 (this is more profitable)

option B yields $5,000

2) the $104,000 is also considered a sunk cost because it cannot be recovered

option A results in $105,500 - $15,500 = $90,000 in costs

option B costs $85,500 (this option is less costly)

The owner of a large machine shop has just finished its financial analysis from the prior fiscal year. Following is an excerpt from the final report: Net revenue $ 375,000 Cost of goods sold 322,000 Value of production materials on hand 42,500 Value of work-in-process inventory 37,000 Value of finished goods on hand 12,500 What is the inventory turnover ratio (ITR) ?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 3.5

Explanation:

Inventory turnover ratio is:

Cost of goods sold / Total or average inventory

Cost of goods sold is $322,000

Total Inventory in this question comprises work-in- process, finished goods and even raw materials.

So total inventory equals:

Production materials on hand $42,500 Work-in-process inventory $37,000

Finished goods on hand $12,500

Total inventory. $92,000

Therefore, inventory turnover ratio is

$322,000 / $92,000

= 3.5

Answers

Answer: $640,000

Explanation:

The total Stockholders Equity for a company is calculated by;

A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market that is producing on a production curve where the marginal product of labor is diminishing also has:

Answers

Answer: A. a downward-sloping labor demand curve.

Explanation:

If the marginal product of labor is diminishing then that means that for every extra worker hired, less products are made than the last worker. As a result of this, companies will not want to pay high wages to workers because they would be bringing in less revenue when hired.

This will cause a downward-sloping labor demand curve that shows that as more workers are hired, the company would like to pay less wages because each new worker is only producing less than the last worker.

But before that first we need to find the new operating income

Total operating income for Cat Food  $280,000

Less: Fixed costs for Dog Food           ($52000)

Add: rented per year                             $26000

New net operating income                  $254000

Now decrease in net operating income is

= operating income - new operating income

= $273,000 - $254,000

= $19,000

You own a stock portfolio invested 34 percent in Stock Q, 18 percent in Stock R, 36 percent in Stock S, and 12 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are 1.03, 1.09, 1.49, and 1.94, respectively. What is the portfolio beta

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio beta = 1.3156

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in portfolio

Portfolio beta = 0.34 * 1.03  +  0.18 * 1.09  +  0.36 * 1.49  +  0.12 * 1.94

Portfolio beta = 1.3156

Answers

Answer: can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income

Explanation:

Imports are the goods that are purchased and brought from another country into one's home country. Restricting imports is a way by which the government helps to protect the industries at home.

It should also be noted that restricting imports will lead to reductions in the United States output and income as other people in other countries might stop purchasing ones products as well and this will affect the income of the United States.

Answer:

C.  can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income.

Explanation:

Import restriction is a measure taken by some countries that want trade protectionism. They do this to limit importation of goods and services from foreign countries. To achieve this they may impose tariffs, quotas, develop policies, or give subsidies to the local producers, all in a bid to limit importation. In the United States, while restricting imports can protect jobs in the protected industries, it would also result to trade wars with other nations.

This is a situation where other countries reciprocate the import restriction. This would eventually result in a reduced Gross domestic product for the country and limited choices for the consumers who will want to settle with cheaper goods. A case is the situation between Japan and the United States

ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structures. ABC is all-equity financed with $475,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $237,500 and the interest rate on its debt is 10 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $53,000. Ignore taxes.


Requried:

a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?

b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.

c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?

d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?

Answers

Answer:

ABC Co. and XYZ Co.

a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?

Expected Rate of Return = 12.32%

b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.

Cash flow from ABC Co. = 11.16% of $23,750 = $2,650.50

Cash outflow from homemade leverage = 10% of $11,875 = $1,187.50

Total cash flows = $1,463 ($2,650.50 - $1,187.50)

Rate of return = $1,463/$11,875 x 100 = 12.32%

c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?

Cost of Equity for ABC Co. = Expected Return on Equity

= $53,000/$475,000 x 100

= 11.16%

Cost of Equity for XYZ Co. = Expected Return on Equity

= $29,250/$237,500 x 100

= 12.32%

d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?

WACC for ABC = Cost of Equity = 11.16%

WACC for XYZ = Weighted Cost of Equity + Weighted Cost of Debt

= 11.16% x 50% + 10% x 50%

= 0.0558 + 0.05

= 0.1058

= 10.58%

Explanation:

ABC:

Equity = $475,000

Expected EBIT = $53,000

Returns on Equity = $53,000/$475,000 x 100 = 11.16%

XYZ:

Equity = $237,500

Debt = $237,500

Interest on Debt = 10% = $23,750

EBIT = $53,000

Return for Equity = $29,250 ($53,000 - 23,750)

Return on Equity = $29,250/$237,500 x 100 = 12.32%

RICO is assumed to leverage debt for his shares in ABC Co. to the tune of 50% just as the debt leverage in XYZ Co.

ABC's and XYZ's costs of equity are equal to the expected returns on the equities expressed percentages of the equities.

ABC's and XYZ's WACC or Weighted Average Costs of Capital are the weighted cost of equity plus the weighted cost of debt respectively.

Explanation:

Organizational paragraph patterns refer to how paragraphs are organized in order to deliver intended messages.  The direct organizational pattern delivers the bad news first before giving reasons, and then closes on a positive note.  The indirect pattern starts with a buffer, the reasons, then delivers the bad news, before finally closing on a positive note.  The semi-indirect pattern is a mixture of the two.
