Answer:
a. $20.00
b. $28,75
Explanation:
Find the total incremental costs to satisfy the special order and add $2.00 profit (because we are aiming for a profit not to just break-even).
Calculation of Total Incremental Unit Costs
Direct materials $6 .00
Direct labor $4.00
Variable Overheads (2/3 × $9) $6.00
Shipping Cost $2.00
Total Incremental Unit Cost $18.00
Add Profit Element $2.00
Unit Selling Price for the Special Order $20.00
In this case no changes will occur on fixed overheads, hence it is irrelevant.
Calculation of Desired Net Operating Income
Sales ($28 × 160,000 units) $4,480,000
Less Product Costs :
Direct materials ($6 .00 × 160,000 units) ($960,000)
Direct labor ($4.00 × 160,000 units) ($640,000)
Variable Overheads ($6.00 × 160,000 units) ($960,000)
Fixed Overheads ($3.00 × 160,000 units) ($480,000)
Current Operating Income $1,440,000
Add Desired Increase in Operating Income $60,000
Desired Operating Income $1,500,000
Unit Profit = $1,500,000 ÷ 160,000 units
= $9.375
Unit Profit = Unit Selling Price - Total Unit Costs - Unit Incremental Profit
therefore,
Unit Selling Price = Unit Profit + Total Unit Costs + Unit Incremental Profit
= $9.375 + $19.00 + $0.375
= $28,75

Explanation:
The US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be measured using the expenditure approach: Y = C + I + G + (X – M). This expenditure approach calculates GDP by evaluating the sum of all final goods and services purchased in the US economy. The components of the US GDP identified as “Y” in equation form include Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Spending (G), and Net Exports (X – M) with X as exports and M as imports.

The value of a share of common stock depends on the cash flows it is expected to provide, and those flows consist of the dividends the investor receives each year while holding the stock and the price the investor receives when the stock is sold. The final price includes the original price paid plus an expected capital gain. The actions of the marginal investor determine the equilibrium stock price. Market equilibrium occurs when the stock's price is -Select-less thanequal togreater thanCorrect 1 of Item 1 its intrinsic value. If the stock market is reasonably efficient, differences between the stock price and intrinsic value should not be very large and they should not persist for very long. When investing in common stocks, an investor's goal is to purchase stocks that are undervalued (the price is -Select-abovebelowequivalent toCorrect 2 of Item 1 the stock's intrinsic value) and avoid stocks that are overvalued.
The value of a stock today can be calculated as the present value of -Select-a finitean infiniteCorrect 3 of Item 1 stream of dividends:
This is the generalized stock valuation model. We will now look at 3 different situations where we can adapt this generalized model to each of these situations to determine a stock's intrinsic value:
1. Constant Growth Stocks;
2. Zero Growth Stocks;
3. Nonconstant Growth Stocks.
Constant Growth Stocks:
For many companies it is reasonable to predict that dividends will grow at a constant rate, so we can rewrite the generalized model as follows:
This is known as the constant growth model or Gordon model, named after Myron J. Gordon who developed and popularized it. There are several conditions that must exist before this equation can be used. First, the required rate of return, rs, must be greater than the long-run growth rate, g. Second, the constant growth model is not appropriate unless a company's growth rate is expected to remain constant in the future. This condition almost never holds for -Select-maturestart-upCorrect 4 of Item 1 firms, but it does exist for many -Select-maturestart-upCorrect 5 of Item 1 companies.
Which of the following assumptions would cause the constant growth stock valuation model to be invalid?
The growth rate is zero.
The growth rate is negative.
The required rate of return is greater than the growth rate.
The required rate of return is more than 50%.
None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model.

Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.60. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2% per year. If investors require a 10% return on equity, what is the current price of Hubbard's common stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
$ per share
Zero Growth Stocks:
The constant growth model is sufficiently general to handle the case of a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time. In this situation, the equation is:
Note that this is the same equation developed in Chapter 5 to value a perpetuity, and it is the same equation used to value a perpetual preferred stock that entitles its owners to regular, fixed dividend payments in perpetuity. The valuation equation is simply the current dividend divided by the required rate of return.
Quantitative Problem 2: Carlysle Corporation has perpetual preferred stock outstanding that pays a constant annual dividend of $2.00 at the end of each year. If investors require an 10% return on the preferred stock, what is the price of the firm's perpetual preferred stock? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
$ per share
Nonconstant Growth Stocks:
For many companies, it is not appropriate to assume that dividends will grow at a constant rate. Most firms go through life cycles where they experience different growth rates during different parts of the cycle. For valuing these firms, the generalized valuation and the constant growth equations are combined to arrive at the nonconstant growth valuation equation:
Basically, this equation calculates the present value of dividends received during the nonconstant growth period and the present value of the stock's horizon value, which is the value at the horizon date of all dividends expected thereafter.
Quantitative Problem 3: Assume today is December 31, 2013. Imagine Works Inc. just paid a dividend of $1.15 per share at the end of 2013. The dividend is expected to grow at 15% per year for 3 years, after which time it is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% annually. The company's cost of equity (rs) is 9.5%. Using the dividend growth model (allowing for nonconstant growth), what should be the price of the company's stock today (December 31, 2013)? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answer:
Explanation:
a. In a regression equation expressed as y= a + bx, how is the letter b best described?
Here, b is the slope and best described as the estimate of the cost when there's a visit of an additional customer.
b. How is the letter y in the regression equation best described?
The letter y is the observed store cost for that particular month.
c. How is the letter x in the regression equation best described?
The letter x is the observed customer visit for that particular month.
d. Based on the data derived from the regression analysis, what are the estimated costs for 370 customer-visits in a month?
The estimated cost for 370 customer visit will be:
Y = a + bx
where,
a =$1496
b = $2.08
x = 370 customer visit
Y = $1496 + ($2.08 × 370 customer visit)
= $1496 + $769.6
= $2265.6
e. What is the percent of the total variance that can be explained by the regression equation?

For Sheffield Corp., sales is $1660000 (8300 units), fixed expenses are $480000, and the contribution margin per unit is $80. What is the margin of safety in dollars
Answer:
$460,000
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety in dollars is shown below:-
Break even sales = fixed cost ÷ contribution per unit
= $480,000 ÷ $80
= 6,000 units
The Margin of safety in dollars = Total sales - Break even sales
= 8,300 - 6,000
= 2,300
sale price = $1660000 ÷ 8,300
= $200 per unit
margin of safety in dollars = 2,300 × $200
= $460,000

Yancey Productions is a film studio that uses a job-order costing system. The company’s direct materials consist of items such as costumes and props. Its direct labor includes each film’s actors, directors, and extras. The company’s overhead costs include items such as utilities, depreciation of equipment, senior management salaries, and wages of maintenance workers. Yancey applies its overhead cost to films based on direct labor-dollars.At the beginning of the year, Yancey made the following estimates:Direct labor-dollars to support all productions $ 8,260,000Fixed overhead cost $ 4,956,000Variable overhead cost per direct labor-dollar $ 0.17Required:1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. (I found the answer: .77 per DL$)2. During the year, Yancey produced a film titled You Can Say That Again that incurred the following costs:Direct materials $ 1,386,000Direct labor cost $ 2,478,000Compute the total job cost for this particular film.Direct Materials: $1,386,000Direct Labor: $2,478,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead cost per direct labor hours + Fixed overhead cost ÷ Direct labor-dollars
= $0.17 + $4,956,000 ÷ 8,260,000
= $0.17 + $0.6
= $0.77
Now the total cost is
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing cost
= $1,386,000 + $2,478,000 + ($2,478,000 × $0.77)
= $5,772,060
Suppose that per-unit costs for Alpha-Zeta Co. are $25 when they are producing 50,000 units. Now suppose that the firm increases production to 50,100 units and total costs are $2,000,000 at that level of production. Question: What is occurring as the firm increases production from 50,000 to 50,100 units?
Answer:
Diseconomies of scale due to the fact that per unit cost increased from $25 to $39.92
Explanation:
Economies is scale is when a larger production is a product leads to reduced cost of production.
For example if production of 1,000 units of a good costs $20 per unit, but production of 1,500 units goes for $17. The cost of production per unit reduces. So there is economies of scale.
In the given scenario production of 5,000 units is at $25 per unit.
While at 5,100 units it is (2,000,000 ÷ 50,100) = $39.92
So this is a diseconomies of scale.

Eaton Tires manufactures tires for dune buggies and has two different products, nubby tires and smooth tires. The company produces 5,000 nubby tires and 10,000 smooth tires each year and incurs $172,000 of overhead costs. The following information is available:
Activity Total Cost Cost Driver
Materials handling $60,000 Number of requisitions
Machine setups 55,000 Number of setups
Quality inspections 57,000 Number of inspections
For the nubby tires, the company has 400 requisitions, 200 setups, and 200 inspections. The smooth tires require 600 requisitions, 300 setups, and 400 inspections.
Determine the overhead rate for each activity.
Answer:
Materials handling= $60 per requisition
Machine setups= $110 per setup
Quality inspections= $95 per inspection
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing 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
Materials handling= 60,000/1,000= $60 per requisition
Machine setups= 55,000/500= $110 per setup
Quality inspections= 57,000/600= $95 per inspection
Headland Mining Company purchased land on February 1, 2020, at a cost of $1,169,500. It estimated that a total of 52,800 tons of mineral was available for mining. After it has removed all the natural resources, the company will be required to restore the property to its previous state because of strict environmental protection laws. It estimates the fair value of this restoration obligation at $96,300. It believes it will be able to sell the property afterwards for $107,000. It incurred developmental costs of $214,000 before it was able to do any mining. In 2020, resources removed totaled 26,400 tons. The company sold 19,360 tons. Compute the following information for 2020.
A) Per unit mineral cost.
B) Total material cost of December 31, 2020, inventory.
C) Total material cost in cost of goods sold at December 31, 2020.
Answer:
1. $26 per unit
2. $183,040
3. $503,360
Explanation:
1. Computation of per unit mineral cost
Per unit mineral cost=(1,169,500+96,300+214,000-107,000)/52,800
Per unit mineral cost=1,372,800/52,800
Per unit mineral cost=$26 per unit
Therefore the Per unit mineral cost will be $26 per unit
2. Computation of Total materials cost
Total materials cost= (26,400 tons-19,360 tons)*26
Total materials cost=7,040*26
Total materials cost=$183,040
Therefore the Total materials cost will be $183,040
3. Calculation for the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold
Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold= (19,360*26)
Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold =$503,360
Therefore the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold will be $503,360

Much has been written about how to identify and interpret signs that indicate that a new organizational form is needed. Grinnell and Apple have identified five signs in addition to those previously described in Section 3.625:Management is satisfied with its technical skills, but projects are not meeting time, cost, and other project requirements.There is a high commitment to getting project work done, but great fluctuation in how well performance specifications are met.Highly talented specialists involved in the project feel exploited and misused.Particular technical groups or individuals constantly blame each other for failure to meet specifications or delivery dates.Projects are on time and to specification, but groups and individuals aren’t satisfied with the achievement. Grinnell and Apple state that there is a good chance that a matrix structure will eliminate or alleviate these problems. Do you agree or disagree? Does your answer depend on the type of project? Give examples or counterexamples to defend your answers.
Explanation:
I agree that the matrix structure will alleviate these problems encountered.
The matrix structure is a model characterized mainly by its flexibility. The organizational structure of the matrix structure is organized in work groups according to the project being carried out in the company, making the work functions more defined and dynamic, being able to change whenever there are new projects in view.
This structure helps companies to create greater autonomy in carrying out work, increasing coordination and satisfying specialization, which generates greater motivation in employees, increasing participation in the decision-making process, generating more innovation and productivity and the speed with which employees projects are finalized.
"16. An investment promises to pay $6,000 at the end of each year for the next five years and $4,000 at the end of each year for years 6 through 10. a. If you require a 12 percent rate of return on an investment of this sort, what is the maximum amount you would pay for this investment?"
Answer:
$33,387.70
Explanation:
A summary of the cash flows for this investment is :
Year 1 $6,000
Year 2 $6,000
Year 3 $6,000
Year 4 $6,000

So, clear these are uneven cash flows thus use your CFj function on your financial calculator to find the Net Present Value at the rate of 12% as below:
CFj $6,000
CFj $6,000
CFj $6,000
CFj $6,000
CFj $6,000
CFj $4,000
CFj $4,000
CFj $4,000
CFj $4,000
CFj $4,000
I/YR = 12 %
SHIFT NPV = $33,387.70
Thus, the maximum amount you would pay for this investment is $33,387.70.
True/ false. Initiative means acting only when asked to.
Suppose that in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of a hamburger is $7 each.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each.
Answer:
Price Ceiling regulations prohibit the price of a good or service from being higher than a set price known as the Price Ceiling.
Price Floor regulations prohibit the price of a good or service from being lower than a set price known as the Price floor.
When either Price Ceiling or Floor is said to be nonbinding, it means that it does not affect the market/ equilibrium price of the good or service.
Binding Ceilings or Floors affect the market/ equilibrium price.
Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so. BINDING PRICE CEILING.
The Fast-food restaurants cannot pay above a certain amount which makes this a Price Ceiling. It is binding because the Market wants to pay higher wages to hire more people but cannot therefore the price ceiling is having an effect on the equilibrium price.
The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each. BINDING PRICE CEILING.
Fast-food restaurants are not allowed to sell above the set price of $5 which makes this a price ceiling. It is Binding because the equilibrium price is $7 which means that fast-food restaurants are forced to sell below the equilibrium price therefore this Price ceiling affects the equilibrium price.
Answer:
See Below..
Explanation:
1. Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
Price Ceiling and Binding
In the labor market, minimum wage laws are an example of a price floor while a cap on wages is an example of a price ceiling. Moreover, the impact of the minimum wage laws depends on the skill and experience of the worker. In this case, new regulations restrict fast-food restaurants from increasing wages and, thus, attracting more workers. This binding price ceiling causes a shortage of workers in this labor market.
2. The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each.
Price Floor and Binding
A price ceiling is a legal maximum on the price at which a good can be sold. Therefore, prohibiting fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more than a particular price is an example of a price ceiling. A binding price ceiling is a price ceiling that is set below the equilibrium price. Because the equilibrium price is $7 each for hamburgers, a legal maximum price of $5 is a binding price ceiling. A binding price ceiling will ultimately cause a shortage, while a non-binding price ceiling has no effect on the equilibrium price and quantity.

Andreasen Corporation manufactures thermostats for office buildings. The following is the cost of each unit:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Fixed overhead ($1,800,000 per year; 100,000 units per year) 18.00
Total $ 72.00
Simpson Company has approached Andreasen with an offer to buy 7,500 thermostats at a price of $60 each. The regular price is $100. Andreasen has the capacity to produce the 7,500 additional units without affecting its current production of 100,000 units. Simpson requires that each unit use its branding, which requires a more expensive label, resulting in an additional $2 per unit material cost. The labor cost of affixing the label will be the same as for the current models. The Simpson order will also require a one-time rental of packaging equipment for $20,000.
Required:
a. Prepare a schedule to show the impact of filling the Simpson order on Andreasen’s profits for the year. (Enter your answers in thousands (i.e., 5,400,000 should be entered as 5,400). Select option "higher" or "lower", keeping Status Quo as the base. Select "none" if there is no effect.)
Status quo 100,000 units Alternative 107,500 units Difference Higher or lower
Sales Revenue ? ? ? ?
Less: variable cost ? ? ? ?
Materials ? ? ? ?
Labor ? ? ? ?
Variable Overhead ? ? ? ?
Total variable cost ? ? ? ?
Contribution margin ? ? ? ?
Less; fixed costs ? ? ? ?
Operating profit or loss ? ? ? ?
b. Do you agree with the decision to accept the special order. Yes or no?
c. Considering only profit, determine the minimum quantity of thermostats in the special order that would make it profitable, assuming capacity is available.... Quanitity of Themostats #___?____ units
Answer:
Andreasen Corporation
Special Order by Simpson Company:
a. Status quo Alternative
100,000 units 107,500 units Total Difference
($'000) ($'000) ($'000) ($'000)
Sales Revenue $10,000 $450 $10,450 $450 Higher
Total Variable cost 5,400 420 5,820 420 Higher
Contribution $4,600 $30 $4,630 30 Higher
Fixed costs 1,800 20 1,820 20 Higher
Operating profit $2,800 $10 $2,810 10 Higher
b. No.
d. Contribution per unit = $4 ($30,000/7,500)
Fixed cost = $20,000
Fixed cost Plus Profit = $30,000
Minimum quantity to make it profitable = $30,000/$4 = 7,500 thermostats
However, this profit level is far below the normal production profit of 28% on sales revenue.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Total variable cost = $54
Fixed overhead ($1,800,000 per year; 100,000 units per year) 18.00
Total $ 72.00
Selling price = $100
Special order = 7,500 thermostats
Price of special order = $60
Relevant costs of special order:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Additional material = $2
Unit variable cost = $56
Total variable cost = $420,000
Packaging equipment 20,000
Total relevant cost = $440,000
Sales Revenue = $450,000
Profit from special order = $10,000
You would expect a bond of the U.S. government and a bond of an Eastern European government to pay different interest rates because of differences in the bonds_____.
You would expect a bond that pays the principal in year 2040 and a bond that pays the principal in year 2020 to pay_____interest rates because of differences in the bonds.
You would expect a bond from a software company you run in your garage and a bond from Coca-Cola to pay different interest rates because of differences in the bonds_____.
You would expect a bond issued by New York State to pay_____interest rate as compared to a bond issued by the federal government.
Answer:
You would expect a bond of the U.S. government and a bond of an Eastern European government to pay different interest rates because of differences in the bonds Credit Risk.
The United States has the safest securities in the World and so pay different rates from other countries to reflect this especially with an Eastern European Government that is not as trusted.
You would expect a bond that pays the principal in year 2040 and a bond that pays the principal in year 2020 to pay higher interest rates because of differences in the bonds.
Bond with longer maturity terms are riskier as they will be exposed to more inflation and interest rate risk.
You would expect a bond from a software company you run in your garage and a bond from Coca-Cola to pay different interest rates because of differences in the bonds Credit Risk.
Coca-Cola is a big company with many assets that back up any leverage it has and so they will have a lower risk than a person with a small business in a garage that might be unable to keep up with payments and default.
You would expect a bond issued by New York State to pay higher interest rate as compared to a bond issued by the federal government.
The Federal Government will be less riskier than New York when it comes to repaying debt because if push comes to shove they can simply print more dollars. They also have higher revenue streams than New York State which means that New York is riskier and will therefore pay a higher interest rate to compensate.
