Answers

Answer: $75,000

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is what an individual, firm or the government has to forgo when another different choice is made.

From the question, we are informed that Farris Company is considering a cash outlay of $500,000 for the purchase of land, which it could lease for $40,000 per year and that alternative investments are available that yield a 15% return.

Then the opportunity cost of the purchase of the land will be:

= $500,000 × 15%

= $500,000 × 0.15

= $75,000

Stock splits can be used to: C) increase the par value per share while decreasing the market price per share. A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range B) decrease a company's excess cash thereby lowering agency costs. E) adjust the debt-equity ratio to its preferred level D) increase the total equity of a firm.

Answers

Answer:

A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range

Explanation:

A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.

for example if a company has 6 million shares outstanding at a price of $10, earning per share is $1 and dividend per share is $2. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :

the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 6 million = 12 million

stock price becomes = $10 / 2 =$5

earning per share = $1 / 2 = $0.50

dividend per share = $2 / 2 = $1

After a stock split, the price of the shares falls. so it can be used to adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range.

A stock split doesn't affect the balances in shareholders equity account.

Stock split doesn't affect the cash holdings of the firm.

Market capitalisation doesn't change after a split, so stock value doesn't change.

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.65 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.35. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is .

Answers

Answer:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,

Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)

k = 1 / (1 - 0.65)

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The marginal propensity to consume is a measure in economics that quantifies induced consumption, or the idea that private expenditure grows in tandem with disposable income.

The spending power is the amount of expendable cash spent on consumption by individuals.

The answers to the questions in the context are:

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

The proportion of extra discretionary income spent by the customer is defined as the level of consumption (MPC).

It's a statistic for measuring induced consumption, or how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of an increase in income.

 

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = [tex]\frac{\text{Change in consumer spending}}{\text{change in income}}[/tex]

MPC = 0.65 / 1

MPC = 0.65

To calculate the multiplier:

Multiplier or k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-MPC}[/tex]

k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-0.65}[/tex]

k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Therefore,

Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65

Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

Answers

Answer:

(a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years.  - Noncurrent liability

Non-current liabilities are obligations of payments by the company that extend for over a year. This note payable is due in 2 years and so is a Non-current liability.

(b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments.  - Noncurrent liability

This obligation also extends for over a year thereby satisfying the definition of a Non-current liability

(c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage.  - Current liability

Current Liabilities being the opposite of Non-current liabilities are obligations that are due within a year. The $15,000 interest payment is the amount due for the year and so is a Current Liability.

(d) Accounts payable of $60,000.  - Current liability

Accounts Payable are payable within the year and as such are current liabilities.

Which of the following is an advantage of a CD?
usually a higher interest rate
saving for a short-term purpose
flexible withdrawals

Answers

Answer:

An Advantage of a Certificate of Deposit (CD) is:

It usually offers a higher interest rate.

Explanation:

For instance, Jones Company can purchase a certificate of deposit (CD) from Bank A. The CD is a financial product that pays a locked and premium interest rate.  In exchange for this locked and higher interest rate, Jones Ltd agrees to leave a lump-sum deposit which it cannot withdraw from until a predetermined period of time.  A CD is not a saving for a short-term purpose, and does not allow for flexible withdrawals unless after the maturity date has been reached.  This implies that Jones Ltd cannot cash it out unless after the maturity date.

Cost of common stock: Whitewall Tire Co. just paid a $1.60 dividend on its common shares. If Whitewall is expected to increase its annual dividend by 2 percent per year into the foreseeable future and the current price of Whitewall common shares is $11.66, what is the cost of common stock for Whitewall

Answers

Answer:

Cost of common stock for Whitewall is 16.00%

Explanation:

Ke = D1 / Price +g

D1 = Ke (Price + g)

D1 = $1.60 * (1+0.02)

D1 = $1.60 * (1.02)

D1 = $1.632

Ke = D1 / Price +g

We solve for Current dividend to derive the Cost of common stick  

Ke = 1.632 / (11.66) + 2%

Ke =  1.632 / 11.66 + 0.02

Ke =  0.139966 + 0.02

Ke =  0.159966

Ke =  15.9966%

Ke =  16.00%

A profit maximizing firm selects output such that A. average profit is maximized. B. total profit is maximized. C. marginal profit is maximized. D. Both A and B.

Answers

Answer:

B. total profit is maximized.

Explanation:

This is explained to be the long run or the short run process in which a firm is seen to determine the cost of sales revenue of the said firm this can be directly explained to be in the duration of a year. Economic models have explained to us that in various forms of market structure such as perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, microeconomic theory is seen to detail extensively the determination of price and output by assuming that firm’s aim is to maximise current or short run profits. This model of profit maximizing approach also are seen to directly select output on the basis that total output is maximized.

The firm's profit-maximizing output level is \(q = \frac{1}{4}\). The profit-maximizing output level for a monopolistic firm can be determined by setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost.


To find the firm's marginal revenue, we need to calculate the derivative of the demand function. The derivative of the demand function \(Q(p) = 100 - 2p\) with respect to price \(p\) is \(\frac{dQ}{dp} = -2\). This derivative represents the rate at which quantity demanded changes with respect to price.


Since the monopolistic firm is the sole producer in the market, the market demand is equal to the firm's demand. Thus, the firm's marginal revenue (\(MR\)) is given by \(MR = \frac{dQ}{dp} = -2\).

To find the firm's marginal cost (\(MC\)), we need to calculate the derivative of the cost function. The derivative of the cost function \(C(q) = 100 + 4q^2\) with respect to quantity \(q\) is \(\frac{dC}{dq} = 8q\). This derivative represents the rate at which cost changes with respect to quantity.

Setting \(MR = MC\), we have \(-2 = 8q\). Solving for \(q\), we get \(q = -\frac{2}{8} = -\frac{1}{4}\).

Since quantity cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and take the positive value, \(q = \frac{1}{4}\).

b.  0.001070%

Explanation:

Given: The  returns from an asset are normally distributed with

[tex]\mu=\text{ 13.6 percent and }\sigma=\text{43.86 percent.}[/tex]

Let x be the percentage value of return.

a. Double in value in a single year i.e. 100% return.

z-value = [tex]\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{100-13.6}{43.86}=1.97[/tex]

Required probability = Right-tailed probability for Z = 1.97

= 0.0244   [By p-value calculator]

= 2.44%

b. Triple in value in a single year i.e. 200% return.

Byrd Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Byrd uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 135,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $877,500 comprised of $337,500 of variable costs and $540,000 of fixed costs. Byrd applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours.

During the current year, Byrd produced 78,100 putters, worked 87,600 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $152,295 and fixed overhead costs of $452,650.

Required:
Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hours= 135,000

Estimated varaible overhead= $337,500

Estimated fixed overhead= $540,000

To calculate the predetermined 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

Variable:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 337,500/135,000= $2.5 per direct labor hour

Fixed:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 540,000/135,000= $4 per direct labor hour

The cost-recovery method of recognizing profit for accounting purposes is permitted if a. collections in the year of sale do not exceed 30% of the total sales price. b. an unrealized profit account is credited. c. there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility. d. the method is consistently used for all sales of similar merchandise.

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer:

c. there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility.

Explanation:

The cost recovery method of revenue recognition is a concept in accounting that refers to a method in which a business does not recognize income related to a sale until the cash collected exceeds the cost of the good or service sold. When a situation present itself where there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility, it justifies the use of the cost recovery method of revenue and profit recognition.

In Macroland autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, planned investment is fixed at 50, government purchases are fixed at 150, and net exports are fixed at 20. Planned aggregate expenditure equals:________a.1,000. b.1,160. c.1,280. d.1,440.

Answers

Answer:

b) $1,160

Explanation:

From the above information,

I=Investment = 50

G=Government expenditure = 150

X=Net export = 20

a=autonomous consumption = 100

b=Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

Y=Equilibrium GDP

C = consumption ;

C = 100 + 0.75Y (Y income - 40 taxes)

Planned aggregate expenditure (PAE)

PAE = C + l +G +X

Substituting for C in the above equation,

PAE = 100 + 0.75 (Y - 40) + 50 + 150+ 20

= 100 + 0.75Y -30 + 50 + 150 + 20

= 290 + 0.75Y

Since short run exists when Y = PAE

Therefore,

Y = 290 + 0.75Y

Collect like terms

Y - 0.75Y = 290

0.25Y =290

Y = 290/0.25

Y = 1,160

McCall Corporation has a capital structure consisting of 55 percent common equity, 30 percent debt, and 15 percent preferred stock. Any debt issues would have a pre-tax cost of 9.5%. Preferred stock can be issued for a cost of 11.5%. Common equity can be issued, but flotation costs of $4.25 per share of common stock would be paid. McCall common stock is currently selling in the market at $65 per share. McCall recently paid a dividend of $4 per share and company earnings and dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 8% indefinitely. McCall has a marginal tax rate of 35% and the firm wants to keep its current capital structure. If the firm needs to raise additional equity, what will be the firm's cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 12.14%

Explanation:

Cost of debt = 9.5% x (1 - 35%) = 6.175%

Cost of preferred stock = 11.5%

Cost of equity (Re) = {D₁ / [P₀(1 - F)]} + g

Re = {($4.25 x 1.08) / [$65 x (1 - $4.25/$65)]} + 8% = ($4.59 / $60.75) + 8% = 15.56%

WACC = (15.55% x 0.55) + (6.175% x 0.30) + (11.5% x 0.15) = 8.56% + 1.85% + 1.73% = 12.14%

A company believes that its product will exhibit network effects if enough consumers begin to use it. How might this company decide to price its product? Offer the product for free early on, and increase the price later.

Answers

Answer: a. Offer the product for free early on, and increase the price later

Explanation:

When a product is said to have a network effect, what it means is that the product gets more value as more people use it. For example Whtsapp which is only such an effective means of communication because more and more people are getting it. If people did not get it, it would not be such a good medium and would be valued less.  

If a company wants to price such a product, they should charge at lower rates first which would entice more people to use the product thereby giving the product more value. As the product value increases, the price can then increase to reflect this increased value.

The labor cost to produce a certain item is $8.50 per hour. Job setup costs $50 and material costs are $20 per unit. The item can be purchased for $88.50 per unit. The learning rate is 90 percent. Overhead is charged at a rate of 50 percent of labor, materials, and setup costs.

Required:
a. Determine the average unit cost for 20 units, given that the first unit took 5 hours to complete.
b. What is the minimum production quantity necessary to make production cost less than purchase cost?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Setup cost =$50

Material cost = $20

= $20×$20

= $400

Purchased cost = $88.50

Learning rate (P) = 90%

Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 20 units is

= 5×14.608

= $73.04

The value 14.608 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 20 units at the rate of 90% is 14.608. Hence, the labor cost for the production of 20 units will be calculated using the following method.

Cost of labor for production of 20 units

= 8.50×73.04

= $620.84

Hence,

In the problem, it has been given that the overhead cost is 50% of the labor material, and setup cost. Hence,

= 50/100 (620.84+50+400)

= 0.5×(1070.84)

= $535.42

Hence total cost

$535.42 +$1070.84

=$ 1606.26

Hence, the cost of production of 20 units is calculated by the following method.

= $1606.26÷20

=$80.313

Therefore, the unit cost is $80.313/unit.

Ans B:

The minimum production quantity important to make the production cost less than the purchase cost is calculated by the trial-and-error method. Now, let's take average unit cost when the 10 units are produced.

Setup cost =$50

Material cost = $20

= $20×$10

= $200

Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 10 units is

=5×7.994

= $39.97

The value 7.994 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 10 units at the rate of 90% is 7.994. Therefore, the labor cost for the production of 10 units will be calculated by the following method.

The cost of production of 20units

8.50×7.994×5

= $339.745

If the price that determined where marginal revenue equaled marginal cost were below the bottom of the average variable cost curve, then the profit-maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm would

Answers

Answer: c. shut down because it would cost more to produce and sell output than it would to shut down and lose all fixed costs.

Explanation:

The profit maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm maximises profit at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal costs.

If this point is below Average variable costs then that means that the company is not making enough to cover its variable costs. Should this be the case then the company should shutdown operations because variable costs are only there when the company is producing. If they shutdown then they will no longer incur them which would be the cheaper option.

They would take losses on the fixed costs but these have already been incurred so it would be better to lose the fixed costs than continue to make losses on variable costs.
