Total expected material moves 660 260
Expected direct labor-hours per unit 860 360

The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $228,300. If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours, the total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns is closest to:

a. 164,883.33
b. $91,576.16
c. $106,275.00
d. $86,400.00

Answers

Answer:

d. $86,400.00

Explanation:

The computation of the  total materials handling cost allocated to the prefab barns is given below:

Total Materials Handling Cost is $228,300

Total is

= 6600 ×860 + 9600 × 360

= $5,676,000 + $3,456,000

= $9,132,000

Allocation Rate = Total Materials Handling Cost ÷ Total direct labor hours  

= $228,300 ÷ $9,132,000

= $0.025

Now

Total Materials Handling Cost allocated to prefab barns is

= Allocation Rate×  direct albor hours for Modular Homes

= $0.025 ×  $3,456,000

= $86,400

a. From this information, derive Bert’s demand schedule. Graph his demand curve for bottled water.
b. If the price of a bottle of water is $4, how many bottles does Bert buy? How much consumer surplus does Bert get from his purchases? Show Bert’s consumer surplus in your graph.
c. If the price falls to $2, how does quantity demanded change? How does Bert’s consumer surplus change? Show these changes in your graph.

Answers

Answer:

a. Please check the attached image for the diagram

b. He would buy 2 bottles

$4

Please check the attached image for the diagram

c. he demands 3 bottles. his demand increases by 1 bottle

his consumer surplus changes to $3. It reduces by $1

Please check the attached image for the diagram

Explanation:

The demand schedule is a table that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded of a consumer. It can be seen that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.

The demand curve is a curve that shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. The demand curve is negatively sloped because the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This is in line with the law of demand.

According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

the price of the good is $4 and when price is $7, he would purchase a bottle and when it is $5, he would buy a second bottle.

Thus, he would buy 2 bottles when the price is $4

Growing, Inc. is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm yesterday paid a dividend of $7.70. You believe that dividends will grow at a rate of 25.0% per year for two years, and then at a rate of 5.0% per year thereafter. You expect the stock will sell for $35.09 in two years. You expect an annual rate of return of 23.0% on this investment. If you plan to hold the stock indefinitely, what is the most you would pay for the stock now

Answers

Answer:

$38.98

Explanation:

The maximum amount a rational investor would pay for the stock is the present value of its future dividends and the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 2(the price at the end of year 2) discounted at the investor's rate of return which is 23.0%

Year 1 dividend=$7.70*(1+25.0%)=$9.63

Year 2 dividend=$9.63*(1+25.0%)=$12.04

Share price at the end of year 2=$35.09(the 5.0% is of no use since terminal value beyond has been given)

price of the stock=$9.63/(1+23.0%)^1+$12.04/(1+23.0%)^2+$35.09/(1+23.0%)^2

price of the stock=$38.98  

A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular the firm sells, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's total fixed costs are $1,536,000. Selling prices and cost information for both products follow. What is the firm's break-even point in units of Regular and Ultra?

Answers

Answer:

ultra - 64,000

Explanation:

Please find the remaining part of this question in the attached image

Breakeven quantity are the number of  units produced and sold at which net income is zero

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit

Contribution margin :

Regular = 22 - 8 = 14

Ultra = 25 - 8 = 17

weighted contribution margin = (1/3 x 14) + (2/3 x 17) = 16

Firms breakeven =  $1,536,000 / $16 = 96,000

Regular's breakeven = 1/3 x 96,000 = 32,000

Ultra's breakeven = 2/3 x 96,000 = 64,000

Job candidates are leaving an office every 50 minutes. Each candidate goes through three activities during the office visit: verification, written test, and interview. Verification takes 1 minute, the written test takes 40 minutes, and the interview takes 10 minutes. Assume there is only one resource dedicated to each activity. What is the utilization of the bottleneck resource?

Answers

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the utilization of the bottleneck resource

First step is to calculate the Flow rate

Flow rate = 1/50

Flow rate = 0.02 customer per minute.

Second step is to calculate the Bottleneck capacity

Bottleneck capacity = Min(1, 1/40, 1/10)

Bottleneck capacity= 0.025 customer per minute.

Now let determine the Utilization of the bottleneck resource using this formula

Utilization of the bottleneck resource = Flow rate/Capacity

Let plug in the formula

Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 0.02/0.025

Utilization of the bottleneck resource= 80%.

Therefore the utilization of the bottleneck resource is 80%

Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 9% with semiannual payments of $45, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,180.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,090.

Required:
a. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to maturity (YTM)?
b. What is the bond's nominal annual yield to call (YTC)?
c. Assuming interest rates remain at current levels, will the bond issue be called?

Answers

Answer:

a. Nper = 30

PMT = 45

FV = `1000

Price Pv = -1180

Rate (YTM) = ?

Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM

Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2

Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(30, 45, -1180, 1000) * 2

Nominal annual yield to maturity = 7.04%

b. Nper = 10

PMT = 45

Call Price = 1090

Price Pv = -1180

Rate (YTC) = ?

Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM

Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2

Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(10, 45, -1180, 1090) * 2

Nominal annual yield to call = 6.31%

C. Yes, the bond issue should call because the YTC is less than the YTM.

Determine the amount of long-term debt for ABC Co. using the following balance sheet information: cash balance of $24,733, accounts payable of $95,119, common stock of $400,875, retained earnings of $500,644, inventory of $206,573, other assets equal to $76,981, net plant and equipment of $707,919, short-term notes payable of $30,000, and accounts receivable of $142,431.

Answers

Answer:

$131,999

Explanation:

i. Total Assets = Cash + Inventory + Accounts receivable + Other Assets + Net plant and Equipment

Total Assets = $24,733 + $206,573 + $142,431 + $76,981 + $707,919

Total Assets = $1,158,637

ii. Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Short term debt

Current liabilities = $95,119 + $30,000

Current liabilities = $125,119

iii. Common stock = $400,875

iv. Retained Earnings = $500,644

Long term debt = Total Assets - [Common stock + Retained earnings + Current liabilities]

Long term debt = $1,158,637 - [$400,875 + $500,644 + $125,119]

Long term debt = $1,158,637 - $1,026,638

Long term debt = $131,999

3. 105
4. 5

Answers

Answer:

a. 110.2

b. 105

c, 5%

d. 88.2

Explanation:

Price index measures the changes in price level over time. It is measure of inflation.

Price index = (price of good in a given year / price of good in the base year) x 100

Types of price indexes

1. Producer price index measures the goods and services produced. this would not increase because it is used cars that is being examined

2. The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good.

Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels

Inflation rate = (change in prices / previous years price) x 100

Types of inflation

1. Demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise

2. Cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect  

a. (88.2 / 80) x 100 = 110.25

b. (84 / 80 x 100) = 105

c. (84 / 80) - 1 = 5%

d. 1.05 x 84 = 88.2

a. In the natural gas industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and hoses makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
b. The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late-nineteenth century until the 1940s.
c. Patents are granted to inventors of a product or process for a certain number of years. The reason for this is to encourage innovation in the economy. Without the existence of patents, it is argued that research and development for improved pharmaceutical products is unlikely to take place, since there's nothing preventing another firm from stealing the idea, copying the product, and producing it without incurring the development costs.
