a. $1630000
b. $1370000.
c. $1644000.
d. $1574000.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

First, we need to separate the fixed costs and calculate the unitary variable costs:

Fixed costs:

Depreciation on factory building= 70,000

Total unitary varaible cost:

Total cost= 800,000 + 250,000 + 250,000= $1,300,000

Unitary cost per hour= 1,300,000 / 50,000= $26

Now, the total cost for 60,000 hours:

Total cost= 26*60,000 + 70,000

Total cost= $1,630,000

Answers

Answer: 260000

Explanation:

The controllable margin for the year will be calculated thus:

Contribution margin = 440000

Less: Controllable Fixed Costs = 180000

Controllable margin will now be:

= 440,000 - 180,000

= 260,000

Therefore, the controllable margin will be 260000

Think of a business concept that would be appropriate for each of the following:
1) a sole proprietorship
2) a corporation
3) a limited liability company
In your answer address the pros and cons of the business type (sole proprietorship, Corporation, LLC) and why you the believe the business concept you choose best suits that business type. You must list at least 3 pros and 3 cons for each business type.

Answers

Answer:

Sole Proprietorship: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of business would be a roadside Fruit Juice Processing business. This involves different blends of organic fruits being blended into one smooth syrup sometimes called a smoothie.

This type of business is better registered under a Sole Proprietorship because, it is almost always carried out by those who are self-employed.

Pros:

It is easy to set up and has low operational and corporate costIt enjoys zero corporate business taxesthey are not required to submit annual filings

Cons:

The liability is unlimited and unrestricted. This means if there is litigation against the business, the business owner if found culpable will have to defray all amounts due even with his or her personal assets if the business is unable to meet that obligationThis type of business structure will find it difficult to raise money due to the potential liability exposure Also the sole proprietor may be unable to take on business debt

 

2. A Limited Liability Corporation: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of entity is a Fast Food Franchise like Tastee Fried Chicken. This sort of business will involve processing chicken and other kinds of foods into wholesome dishes.

b. Calculate the net present value of the new hotel using the present value of an annuity of $1 table above.
c. Does your analysis support the purchase of the new hotel?

Answers

Answer:

a. Net cash flows

Depreciation has to be added back to income because it is a non-cash expense.

Depreciation = (Cost - Residual value)/ Useful life

= 22,400,000 / 8

= $2,800,000

Net cash flows = Revenue - Expenses + Depreciation

= 16,688,000 - 14,000,000 + 2,800,000

= $5,488,000

b. Net Present Value

= Present value of cash inflows - Construction cost

= (Net cash flows * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, 12%) - 22,400,000

= (5,488,000 * 4.96764) - 22,400,000

= $4,862,408.32

c. Analysis SUPPORTS PURCHASE of hotel because it results in a positive Net Present Value.

Answers

Answer:

Because of the existence of certain types of market failure, employers can still engage in DISCRIMINATION and not necessarily lose profits.

Due to the existence of market failures like asymmetric information held by the employers, they can be able to discriminate in the wages they pay to employees such that they do not lose profit.

As an individual allocates their time, they face a trade-off between LEISURE and work.

An individual spends their time between leisure and work and they need to find a trade-off between the two that they are comfortable with because more hours allocated to one means less hours to the other.

Employers have some control over WAGES and adjust them in order to compensate for the danger or unpleasantness of a job and help contribute to certain types of market failure.

As a result of employers adjusting wages to suit the job characteristics or to entice employees, the job can contribute to market failure if the wages being paid are simply too high for that position.

Not all markets are perfectly competitive, due to the presence of UNIONS, which advocates for better salaries and working conditions on behalf of their members.

Unions campaign for their members to get better salaries and working conditions which might not be representative of the contribution of the job which leads to a situation where the market is no longer competitive because the tradeoff is not balanced.

What is the value of disposable income?

Answers

Answer:

The value of disposable income is $4,207

Explanation:

Dispossable income refers to the addition of income of an individual minus his taxes.

Therefore, the value of the value of disposable income can be calculated as follows:

Disposable income = Proprietors income + Compensation of employees + Rental income + Net interest + Transfer payments - Social insurance taxes - Personal taxes = $150 + $4,080 + $31 + $147 + $66 - $222 - $45 = $4,207

Therefore, the value of disposable income is $4,207.

In a town with exactly 1,000 residents, 60 percent of the residents make healthy choices and 40 percent of the residents consistently make unhealthy choices. The health insurance company in town cannot tell, in advance, who is healthy and who is unhealthy. A healthy person has an average of $600 in medical expenses each year and is willing to pay $800 for insurance. An unhealthy person has an average of $2,100 in medical expenses each year and is willing to pay $2,400 for insurance. The health insurance provider can offer insurance at only one price.

Required:
In equilibrium, the price of insurance will be at least what?

Answers

At the equilibrium, the price of insurance should be equal to at least $2,100.

What is equilibrium?

Equilibrium is the scenario where the economic factors are in an equal position. There is no factor that rises above the equilibrium point or falls below the equilibrium point.

Given information:

The average expense of a healthy person is $600 and the average expense of an unhealthy person is $2,100. Every person is interested to buy insurance are from $0 to $800, the unhealthy people would buy the insurance from $800 to $2,400, and lastly, No one would take up the insurance lies over and above $2,400

Computation of expected payment received to the company:

[tex]\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received = \rm\ Average \rm\ expense \rm\ of \rm\ a \rm\ healthy \rm\ person \times\ 60 \% \\+ \rm\ Average \rm\ expense \rm\ of \rm\ an \rm\ unhealthy \rm\ person \times\ 40 \%\\\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received =\$ 600 \times\ 60 \% + \$ 2,100 \times\ 40 \%\\\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received =\$ 360 + \$ $840\\\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received = \$1,200[/tex]

Now if an insurance company charges less than $1,200, it will incur a loss to the company, if it charges $1,200, then no one will acquire the insurance, and more than $1,200, cannot be charged by the company.

Therefore, the price of insurance at equilibrium is $2,100 equivalent to the last amount of expense paid to the person for the insurance.

Let assume that the company’s total number of shares outstanding is 1,000. Therefore, we have:

Equity market value = MPS * Number of shares = $52 * 1,000 = $52,000

By repurchasing half shares and substituting an equal value of debt, we have:

Debt = Equity market value / 2 = $52,000 / 2 = $26,000

Interest on debt = Debt * Debt rate = $26,000 * 3% = $780

Old EPS = MPS / PE ratio = $52 / 7.90 = $6.58 per share

Net income = Old EPS * Number of shares = $6.58 * 1,000 = $6,580

Earnings available to shareholders = Net income – Interest on debt = $6,580 – 780 = $5,800

New number of shares = 500

New EPS = Earnings available to shareholders / New number of shares = $5,800 / 500 = $11.60 per share

Therefore, we have:

a. Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Cost of equity after the refinancing = New EPS / MPS = $11.60 / $52 = 0.2231, or 22.31%

b. Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = (Weight of debt * Cost of debt) + (Weight of equity * New cost of equity) = (50% * 3%) + (50% * 22.31%) = 12.66%

c. Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 1 / Cost of equity after the refinancing = 1 / 22.31% = 4.48

d. Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.

Stock price after the refinancing = Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing * New EPS = $11.60 * 4.48 = $51.99

e. Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Stock’s beta after the refinancing = (Cost of equity after the refinancing – Cost of debt) / (WACC – Cost of debt) = (0.2231 - 0.03) / (0.1266 - 0.05) = 2.52

Microbiotics currently sells all of its frozen dinners cash-on-delivery but believes it can increase sales by offering supermarkets 1 month of free credit. The price per carton is $100, and the cost per carton is $65. The unit sales will increase from 1,050 cartons to 1,110 per month if credit is granted.

b. If the interest rate is 1.5% per month v/hat will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis if credit is offered to all customers?
c. Assume the interest rate is 1 5% per month but the firm can offer the credit only as a special deal to new customers, while existing customers will continue to pay cash on delivery. What will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis under these conditions?

Answers

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

[tex]\text{Present value of profit} = ( Revenue - cost ) \times Unit\ sold[/tex]

                                   [tex]= (\$100 - \$65 ) \times 1,050\\\\= (\$35 ) \times 1,050\\\\= \$36,750[/tex]

For point a:

[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]

                     [tex]= (\frac{\$100}{ (1 + .01)} - \$65) \times 1,110\\\\= (\frac{\$100}{ (1 .01)} - \$65) \times 1,110\\\\= (99.0 -65) \times 1,110\\\\= 34\times 1,110\\\\= \$37,740\\[/tex]

Changes in monthly profits:

[tex]= \$37,740 - \$36,570 = \$1,170[/tex]

At 1%, the credit offer raises the company's earnings for one month.

 For point b:

[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]

[tex]=(\frac{\$100}{(1 + .015)} -\$65) \times 1,110\\\\=(\frac{\$100}{(1.015)} -\$65) \times 1,110\\\\=33.52\times 1,110\\\\= 37,207.2[/tex]

  Changes in monthly profits:  

[tex]= \$37,207.2- \$36,570 = $637.2.[/tex]

At 1.5%, the loan offering raises the company's earnings for one month.

For point c:

[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]

                     [tex]= (\$100 - \$65 ) \times 60\\\\ = \$2,100[/tex]

[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]  

                     [tex]= (\frac{\$100}{(1 + .015)} - \$65) \times 60\\\\= (\frac{\$100}{(1.015)} - \$65) \times 60\\\\=33.52 \times 60\\\\= 2011.2[/tex]

Changes in monthly profits:

[tex]= \$2,011.2 -\$2,100 = \$88.8[/tex]

At a cost of 1.5%, the credit rates decrease the company's income for one month.

The standards for product V28 call for 8.3 pounds of a raw material that costs $19.00 per pound. Last month, 2,200 pounds of the raw material were purchased for $41,360. The actual output of the month was 240 units of product V28. A total of 2,100 pounds of the raw material were used to produce this output.
The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
Required:
a. What is the materials price variance for the month?
b. What is the materials quantity variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (19 - 18.8)*2,200

Direct material price variance= $440 favorable

Actual price= 41,360 / 2,200= $18.8

Now, we can determine the direct material quantity variance:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (8.3*240 - 2,100)*19

Direct material quantity variance= $2,052 unfavorable

27. If your company purchases land and a building for $100,000, and it intends to tear down the existing building to allow construction of a new warehouse, the purchase price should be allocated to the following accounts: A) $100,000 to the Construction Expense account B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account C) Prorated to the Land account and Building account based on the appraised values of each. D) $100,000 to the Building account and $0 to the Land account

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account.

Explanation:

Originally, the $100,000 paid is for both land and a buildling. There would have been a need to prorate the $100,000 to the Land account and Building account based on the appraised values of each if the existing building was not tore down.

However, since the existing building was tore sown, that indicates the building was of no use to the company and only land is useful. This indicates that the $100,000 is paid for the land alone.

Therefore, the correct option is B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account.

Joel is the sole shareholder of Manatee Corporation, a C corporation. Because Manatee’s sales have increased significantly over the last several years, Joel has determined that the corporation needs a new distribution warehouse. Joel has asked your advice as to whether (1) Manatee should purchase the warehouse or (2) he should purchase the warehouse and lease it to Manatee. What relevant tax issues will you discuss with Joel?

Answers

Answer:

If Joel purchases the warehouse, he can rent it to the corporation and charge the highest possible rent within reasonable terms. Joel can avoid double taxation and the corporation will be able to deduct rent expense.

Joel is also able to deduct depreciation expenses, real estate taxes, and other costs from his passive income.

As an individual, Joel is taxed differently for capital gains in case he sells the warehouse, and that rate is generally lower than corporate tax rates.

A portfolio manager buys $1 million of U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 90 days at a price of $990,390 and discount rate of 3.8%. The portfolio also includes the following investments: Bank commercial paper maturing in 90 days with a bond equivalent yield of 4.34% and a market value of $100,000. Bank certificates of deposit maturing in six months with a bond equivalent yield of 4.84% and a market value of $200,000. The bond-equivalent yield of a comparable benchmark portfolio is 4.0%. Including the Treasury bill purchase, the manager's portfolio is:

Answers

Answer:

A. Outperforming the benchmark

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the manager's portfolio

First step is to calculate the Treasury bill, bond-equivalent yield for U.S.

Using this formula

Treasury bill

=(Face value − Market value) / Market value × 365 / 90

Let plug in the formula

Treasury bill= ($1,000,000 − 990,390) / 990,390 × 365 / 90

Treasury bill=0.0097 × 0.04056

Treasury bill= 3.93%.

Second step is to calculate The total market value of the portfolio

Total market value portfolio=$990,390 + $100,000 + $200,000

Total market value portfolio= $1,290,390

Now let calculate the manager's portfolio

Manager's portfolio=3.93% ($990,390 / $1,290,390) + 4.34% ($100,000 / $1,290,390) + 4.84% ($200,000 / $1,290,390)

Manager's portfolio=3.93%(76.75%)+4.34%(7.75%)+4.84%(15.50%)

Manager's portfolio=0.0410*100

Manager's portfolio= 4.10%

Therefore Based on the above calculation the manager's portfolio is 4.10% OUTPERFORMING THE BENCHMARK because the manager's portfolio of 4.10% is higher than bond-equivalent yield benchmark portfolio of 4.0%.

Sunland Company had the following department data: Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0 Completed and transferred out 90900 Work in process, ending 7800 Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number of equivalent units for materials during the period?

Answers

Answer:

Equivalent units of production= 98,700

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0

Completed and transferred out 90,900

Work in process, ending 7,800

Materials are added at the beginning of the process.

To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:

Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production

Equivalent units of production= 0 + 90,900 + 7,800*1

Equivalent units of production= 98,700

Because the materials are added at the beginning of the process, the percentage of completion is 100%.

The sales volume variance is the difference between the: A. static budget (based on planned volume) and actual revenue or cost. B. flexible budget (based on actual volume) and actual revenue or cost. C. static budget (based on actual volume) and the flexible budget (based on planned volume). D. static budget (based on planned volume) and the flexible budget (based on actual volume).

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: static budget (based on planned volume) and actual revenue or cost.

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Sales volume variance" refers to a method used in the business and accounting field with the main purpose of obtaining the comparison between the planned sales and the actual sales. It does it by stating that the difference between those two multiply by the budget price of the product will result in the variance itself. The goal of this method is to measure the sales performance and to see if there are no mathces with the expected revenues then the company has to take a lead and do something about it.

Tony has been sent to sales training and the final examination requires delivering an effective sales presentation. If he passes this examination, he will be placed into a sales job. If he does not pass, he will be let go from the company. In assessing Tony’s performance, the trainer remarks that although his talk was solid as far as content, he did not pass. The trainer fails to mention that the talk lacked several elements of excellence. Tony’s presentation graphics were inconsistent, he mumbled, and he failed to answer any of the follow-up questions. Tony throws the evaluation at the trainer, shouting, "Whatever, dude!" and slams the door on the way out. The trainer’s failure to discuss these aspects of Tony’s presentation performance demonstrated a lack of attention to which form of fairness or justice?

Answers

Answer: interactional

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the trainer’s failure to discuss these aspects of Tony’s presentation performance demonstrated a lack of attention to the interactional justice.

Interactional Justice involves the communication of the procedures that are used in judging the performance of a person. It focuses on the treatment that individuals get when there are implementation of certain procedures. This standard is utilized by the employees at work.

In this scenario, the trainer failed to interact with Tony as he didn't explain his flaws to him and didn't tell him the reason that he wasn't chosen. Thereby, the trainer didn't pay attention to interactional fairness.
