Answer:
1. Operating leverage = Contribution margin / Net income
Beck Inc.
Operating leverage = $500,000 / $100,000
Operating leverage = 5
Bryant Inc.
Operating leverage = $750,000 / $300,000
Operating leverage = 2.5
2. Income from operations increase = Increase in sales * Degree of operating leverage
Dollar increase = Net income * Percentage
Beck Inc.
Percentage = 5*20 = 100% (Income from operations increase)
Dollar increase = $100,000 * 100% = $100,000
Bryant Inc.
Percentage = 2.5*20 = 50% (Income from operations increase)
Dollar increase = $300,000 * 50% = $150,000

Janet and Megan are debating the use of student discounts by local stores near school. Janet argues, "When stores offer discounts to students with valid identification, it is price discrimination, because they are attempting to separate the market into two groups—each with different demands for that particular good." Megan responds with, "This is not a form of price discrimination, because there is no age restriction for students. Economists generally agree with :
a. Dina
b. Antonio
Answer:
Antonio
Explanation:
In simple words, Antonio has a lot of support among economists. Price discrimination occurs when a vendor is able to split clients into groupings or segregate a marketplace into two categories so that they may charge varying charges to that same two groups. It has hardly anything to deal with the customers' age.
Thus, Antonio is correct with his views.

Value a Constant Growth Stock Financial analysts forecast Best Buy Company (BBY) growth for the future to be 14.00 percent. Their recent dividend was $1.19. What is the value of their stock when the required rate of return is 15.43 percent
Answer:
$94.87
Explanation:
Value of stock = Dividend * (1 + Growth rate) / (Required rate - Growth rate)
Value of stock = $1.19 * (1 + 0.14) / (0.1543 - 0.14)
Value of stock = $1.19 * 1.14 / 0.0143
Value of stock = $1.3566 / 0.0143
Value of stock = 94.8671329
Value of stock = $94.87

During 2021, Raines Umbrella Corporation had sales of $772,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expenses were $465,000, $104,500, and $150,000, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $74,400 and a tax rate of 25 percent. (Ignore any tax loss carryforward provisions and assume interest expense is fully deductible). Suppose Raines Umbrella Corp. paid out $102,000 in cash dividends. Is this possible? If spending on net fixed assets and net working capital was zero, and if no new stock was issued during the year, what is the net new long-term debt?
Answer:
Paying out $102,000 in cash dividends is possible
Net new long-term debt $26,100
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net new long-term debt
Sales $772,000
Less Cost of goods sold $465,000
Gross profit $307,000
($772,000-$465,000)
Administrative and selling expenses $104,500
Depreciation expenses $150,000
Earning before interest tax $52,500
($307,000-$104,500-$150,000)
Interest expense $74,400
Profit or Loss before tax ($21,900)
($52,500-$74,400)
Less Tax 25% $0
Add Depreciation expense $150,000
Net Cash flow $128,100
(-$21,900+$150,000)
Dividend $102,000
Net new long-term debt $26,100
($128,100-$102,000)
Therefore Based on the above calculation Paying out $102,000 in CASH DIVIDENDS is possible even though the Net income is Negative, its operating cash flow is $128,100 positive which means that the company has enough cash balance to pay dividends of $102,000. The Net new long-term debt is $26,100
Activity-based costing is preferable in a system:
a. when multiple products have similar product volumes and costs
b. with a large direct labor cost as a percentage of the total product cost
c. with multiple, diverse products
d. where management needs to support an increase in sales price
Answer:
c. with multiple, diverse products
Explanation:
Activity based costing is a method that is used to share overhead and indirect costs among various products and services offered by a company.
So products that are produced in larger volume will receive more cost allocation.
The cost driver rate is used in this allocation and is calculated by dividing total pool cost by the cost driver.
So cost is allocated based on units of goods produced.
Examples of indirect cost shared are salaries and utilities.
Activity based costing is best for multiple diverse products. So that cost can effectively be allocated based on the amount of activity attributed to a particular product.

he primary functions of management are... Group of answer choices Producing change and movement Producing a creative vision Producing positive leadership outcomes Producing order and consistency PreviousNext
Answer:
Producing order and consistency
Explanation:
Management involves the control, planning and organization of the affairs of a business firm.
Basically, the management of an organization is saddled with the responsibility of planning, organizing, controlling and staffing within the organization.
Hence, we can safely deduce that the primary functions of management are producing order and consistency within an organization, so as to meet their set goals, aims and objectives.
This ultimately implies that, the management of a business firm or an organization's with respect to its direction, objectives, and strategy are never final because an effective management strategy is a continuum or an on-going, dynamic process. Thus, it is never a now and then task.

Manufacturing overhead allocated to jobs 33,800
Underallocated or overallocated Manufacturing overhead ?
Required:
Calculate the manufacturing overhead and indicate if the remainder is underallocated or overallocated for the year.
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $1,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $35,000
Manufacturing overhead allocated to jobs 33,800
To calculate the under/over allocation, we need to use the following formula:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 35,000 - 33,800
Underapplied overhead= $1,200
Assume the following macroeconomic variable ( in $ billion) for an economy: Y = national income = Aggregate Expenditures Aggregate Expenditures = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Export Assuming that the full employment level in $6,000 billion, determine the change in government spending needed to reach full employment. (Hint: calculate the current GDP, then calculate aggregate expenditures using national income of $6,000 and find the difference)
Answer:
440
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the change in government spending needed to reach full employment.
At Y=6000,
C=300+0.64Y
C=300+0.64*6000
C=300+3840
C=4140
Second step
Imports=0.08*Y=0.08*6000
Imports=480
Aggregate expenditure=4140+800+700+400-480
Aggregate expenditure=5560
Full employment G=6000-5560
Full employment G=440
New G=700+440
New G=1140
Y=300+0.64Y+800+1140+400-0.08Y
Y=2640+0.56Y
Y=2640/0.44
Y=6000
Therefore the change in government spending needed to reach full employment must Increase by 440.

Alternatively, she can buy a used van for $5,185 and pay for maintenance herself. She expects to keep the van for three years at which time she could sell it for $1,330. What is the most she should pay for uniform annual maintenance to make it worthwhile to buy the van instead of leasing it, if her MARR is 20%
Answer:
$2,116
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Option 1 - Leasing
= 3510 + ( 3510 ÷ 1.2 ) + ( 3510 ÷ 1.2 ^ 2 )
= 8872.5
Now
Option 2 - Buying
Given that
Initial Cost - 5185
PV of salvage value = 1330 ÷ 1.2 ^ 3
= 769.68
So,
Cost = 5185 - 769.68
= 4457.176
Now the payment should be
= 4457.176 × 0.47473 (PV annuity factory for 20% at 3 years)
= $2,115.955
= $2,116
