Also, suppose that each country completely specializes in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. If Radioland trades 50 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 50 televisions each year, then each country's maximum consumption of new radios and televisions per year will be

Answers

Answer:

450 radios 50 televisions in radioland and 50 radios 450 televisions in Teeveeland.

Explanation:

In radioland 5 radios are equivalent to one television. Then 1 radio will be equivalent to 0.2 of television. The opportunity cost for each radio is 0.2. In teeveeland the cost of 1 radio is 5 televisions. Hence radioland has comparative advantage in producing radios and Teeveeland has comparative advantage is producing televisions.

Carlos transfers property with a tax basis of $750 and a fair market value of $1,200 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $975 and $75 cash in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $150 on the property transferred. What is the corporation's tax basis in the property received in the exchange

Answers

Answer:

$975

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the Corporation's Tax basis in the property received in exchange

Corporation's Tax basis = Tax basis of Property transferred + Gain recognized

Where

Tax basis of Property transferred = $750

Gain recognized = 975 - $750 = $225

Placing values in the formula

Corporation's Tax basis = $750 + $225

Corporation's Tax basis = $975

Suppose that the global crude oil price has risen due to refinery breakdowns caused by middle-east politics and warfare. Crude oil is an input in the gasoline production. At the same time, the demand for driving and, therefore, the demand for gasoline has also risen in the United States. You can accurately predict that the domestic price of gasoline is:_______

Answers

Answer:

"Definitely increase" is the correct approach.

Explanation:

As fuel demand rises, consumption exceeds the amount, as manufacturers are unable to cope with either the surge in demand whenever the profit margin is still rising.We could perhaps state precisely that consumption overtakes the output of petrol or the curve of availability to that same right as well as would therefore be at that same greater degree.

Thus the above is the correct answer.

Presented below is information related to Pharoah Corporation for the current year. Beginning inventory $ 590,300 Purchases 1,472,500 Total goods available for sale $2,062,800 Sales revenue 2,455,000 Compute the ending inventory, assuming that (a) gross profit is 46% of sales, (b) gross profit is 60% of cost, (c) gross profit is 36% of sales, and (d) gross profit is 25% of cost.

Answers

Answer:

a. $948,888

b. $773,550

c. $1,237,680

d. $412,560

Explanation:

The Ending Inventory is calculated using the missing figure approach or the Gross Margin technique.

that is,

Ending Inventory =  Cost of Goods Available for Sale - Cost of  Sales

thus,

This can be clearly done by writing up a Trading Account as shown below for each scenario.

also remember,

Cost + Profit = Sales

so for those based on cost use this formula.

for example : gross profit is 60% of cost

will be : 100 % + 60 % = 160 %

Graymont Industries purchases Solvate, a chemical compound used in several of its products, from ChemMaster. ChemMaster has just increased the list price of Solvate to $6.10 per gallon. However, because Graymont purchases a high volume of Solvate, ChemMaster grants the company a 14 percent discount off the list price. Charges for shipping Solvate from ChemMaster to Graymont's factory are $130 for a shipment of twenty-five 49-gallon drums. Special storage requirements cost $0.59 per gallon.
Calculate Graymont's standard price for a gallon of Solvate. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.51)

Jerryworld, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in Dallas to produce footballs. The company bought some land six years ago for $5.2 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $4.6 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $10.4 million to build, and the site requires $840,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project

Answers

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

Total value of the investment= $57,320.73

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the future value of the first part of the investment. We will calculate the future value for the monthly deposit for five years and then the lump sum for another five years.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

i= 0.04/12= 0.003333

n= 5*12= 60 months

FV= {322*[(1.003333^60) - 1]} / 0.003333

FV= $21,348.05

For the lump sum:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

n= 12*5= 60

i= 0.05/12= 0.004167

FV= 21,348.05*(1.004167^60)

FV= $27,397.75

Now, the future value of the second part of the investment:

n= 60

i= 0.0041667

A= 440

FV= {440*[(1.004167^60) - 1]} / 0.004167

FV= $29,922.98

Total value of the investment= 27,397.75 + 29,922.98

Total value of the investment= $57,320.73

Plymouth Company owns equipment with a cost of $600,000 and accumulated depreciation of $375,000 that can be sold for $300,000, less a 4% sales commission. Alternatively, Plymouth Company can lease the equipment for four years for a total of $320,000, at the end of which there is no residual value. In addition, the repair, insurance, and property tax expense that would be incurred by Plymouth Company on the equipment would total $40,000 over the four-year lease.
A. Prepare a differential analysis on August 7 as to whether Plymouth Company should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment.
B. Should Plymouth Company lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment?

Answers

Answer:

A. We have:

Profit from Lease Equipment (Alternative 1) = $280,000

Profit from Sell Equipment (Alternative 2) = $288,000

Differential Effects = Net gain from selling = $8,000

B. Since the net gain from selling is $8,000, Plymouth Company should sell (Alternative 2) the equipment.

Explanation:

A. Prepare a differential analysis on August 7 as to whether Plymouth Company should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment.

Note: See the attached excel file for the differential analysis.

In the attached excel file, the following calculation is made:

Cost of Sell Equipment (Alternative 2) = Sales commission = Revenue * Sales commission percentage = $300,000 * 4% = $12,000

From attached excel file, we have:

Profit from Lease Equipment (Alternative 1) = $280,000

Profit from Sell Equipment (Alternative 2) = $288,000

Differential Effects = Net gain from selling = $8,000

B. Should Plymouth Company lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment?

Since the net gain from selling is $8,000, Plymouth Company should sell (Alternative 2) the equipment.

The income tax rate is 30%. If the required rate of return is 10%, how much is the net present value of this project

Answers

Answer:

$20,138.74

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

To determine cash flow, use this formula

Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

(200,000 - 10,000) / 3 = 63,333

(100,000 - 5000 - 63,333) x ( 1 - 0.3) + 63,333 = 85499.90

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 85499.90

Cash flow in year 2 = 85499.90

Cash flow in year 3 = 85499.90 + 10,000 = 95,499.90

I = 10

NPV = $20,138.74

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

Exchange rate = $1.93 per euro

Amount in dollars = $579,000 (300,000 euros * $1.93)

b) To convert to dollars from euro, when the exchange rate is $1.93 per euro, we multiply the euro-based amount by the exchange rate.  To convert the dollars to the euro, we divide by the exchange rate.  To multiply or divide depends on which currency has a higher value (e.g. euro vs dollars).

Bengal Co. provides the following unit sales forecast for the next three months: July August September Sales units 5,800 6,500 6,360 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 30% of the next month's sales. Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units. The budgeted production units for July are:

Answers

Answer:

Production= 6,010

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

July August

Sales units 5,800 6,500

Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,740 units.

To calculate the production for July, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 5,800 + (6,500*0.3) - 1,740

Production= 6,010

You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 63 − 5Q. Your costs are C = 10 + 3Q. The profit-maximizing output for your firm is:

Answers

Answer:

Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

Explanation:

Given:

Demand curve =  P = 63 − 5Q

Cost C = 10 + 3Q

Find:

Profit-maximizing output

Computation:

In monopoly maximum profit stand where;

MR = MC

So,

TR = P x Q

TR = (63 - 5q)Q

TR = 63Q - 5Q²

MR = d(TR) / dQ

So,

MR = d[63Q - 5Q²] / dQ

MR = 63 - 10Q

MC = dC / dQ

MC = d(10+3Q) / dQ

MC = 3

So,

Profit-maximizing output

MR = MC

63 - 10Q = 3

Q = 6

Profit-maximizing output = 6 units

Therefore, when using the strategy of increasing the sense of competition in the teams, managers seek the theory of vigilant interaction so that the final result and the goals of the teams are achieved.

Oil Services Corp. reports the following EPS data in its 2017 annual report (in million except per share data). Net income $1,827 Earnings per share: Basic $1.56 Diluted $1.54 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 1,172 How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017

Answers

Answer:

15.2million dilutive shares

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017.

First step is to calculate the Basic EPS using this formula

Basic EPS= Net income -Basic

Let plug in the formula

Basic EPS= $1,827 /$1.56

Basic EPS=$1,171.2 million

Second step is to calculate the Diluted EPS

Diluted EPS =$1,827 million / $1.54

Diluted EPS = $1,186.4 million.

Now let calculate How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017

2017 Diluted weighted average=$1,186.4 million - $1,171.2 million.

2017 Diluted weighted average= 15.2million dilutive shares

Therefore How many weighted average shares were dilutive in 2017 is 15.2 million dilutive shares

Q 10.7: Melbee Farms is considering purchasing a new combine that would help them finish their harvesting faster, thus allowing them to pick up extra revenue by doing custom combining for other farmers. The combine and headers cost $487,000. They expect to have net cash flows of $157,000 in year 1, $182,000 in year 2, $202,000 in year 3, and $213,000 in year 4. If they discount the cash flows by 7%, what is the discounted payback period for the combine

Answers

Answer:

Discounted payback period= 3 years 1 month

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost  

To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:

Year     Cash flow     DF        Present value  

0           487,000 × 1          = (487,000)

1          157,000 × 1.07^(-1) = 146,729.0

2         182,000 × 1.07^(-2) = 158965.8

  3         202,000 × 1.07^(-3) = 164,892.2

4         213,000  × 1.07^(-4) =162,496.7

Total PV for 2 years = 146729 +158965+164892= 470587.0

Balance of cash flow remaining to equal  =  487,000-470587 = 16413.0

 Discounted payback period = 3 years + 16413.0 /162,496.7 × 12 months

= 3year , 1.2months

Discounted payback period= 3 years 1 month
