Answer: straight lines that are parallel to each other
Explanation: Q: A jeweler can potentially use two inputs in her handcrafted jewelry: copper or bronze. She finds that when she minimizes her costs, she either uses copper or bronze but not both. What must her isoquants look like?
An isoquant curve is defined as a line of equal or constant economic production on a graph, chart or map which describes all the combinations of inputs that produce the same level of output. If the jeweler either uses copper or bronze but not both, it means that the copper and bronze are perfect substitutes, that is, they are two inputs that can be substituted for each other at a constant rate and at the same time maintaining the same output level. Her isoquants would appear as straight lines that are parallel to each other because all that matters is the sum of the two variables (copper and bronze), and not their individual values.
Homestead Jeans Co. has an annual plant capacity of 67,000 units, and current production is 45,700 units. Monthly fixed costs are $54,400, and variable costs are $30 per unit. The present selling price is $40 per unit. On November 12 of the current year, the company received an offer from Dawkins Company for 19,600 units of the product at $33 each. Dawkins Company will market the units in a foreign country under its own brand name. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic selling price or quantity of sales of Homestead Jeans Co.

Answer:
Homestead Jeans Co.
a) Differential Analysis dated November 12
Options Reject (Alternative 1) Special Order Accept (Alternative 2)
Units sold 45,700 19,600 65,300
Revenue $1,828,000 $646,800 $2,474,800
Variable Cost -1,371,000 -588,000 -1959,000
Contribution $457,000 $58,800 $515,800
Fixed Costs 652,800 $0 652,800
Net Income/(Loss) -$195,800 $58,800 -$137,000
b) Accepting this order will reduce operating loss from $195,800 to $137,000, making a difference of $58,800. The reason is that the special order will make a contribution towards offsetting the fixed cost with a sum of $58,800.
c) Minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution margin:
The contribution margin per unit = Selling price minus variable cost per unit = $40 - $30 = $10 per unit.
To produce positive contribution margin, selling price must be more than variable cost. Selling price will be at least $31.
Therefore, the minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution is $31.
Explanation:
a) In differential analysis, only relevant costs are considered. Fixed costs are regarded as sunk and therefore irrelevant in making any differential decision.
b) The revenue is a function of selling price and quantity sold. While the variable costs equal units sold multiplied by the unit variable cost.

Hi-Tech, Inc., reports net income of $65.0 million. Included in that number are depreciation expense of $5.5 million and a loss on the sale of equipment of $1.5 million. Records reveal increases in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory of $2.5 million, $3.5 million, and $4.5 million, respectively. What are Hi-Tech's net cash flows from operating activities?
Answer:
Net Cash Flows from operating activities is $68.5 million.
Explanation:
The indirect Method would be used here because all we will find the cash expenses and revenues that were converted into within the year and are reported in the income statement by calculating the increase and decrease in the current assets and current liabilities. Here we will also eliminate the non cash expense effects by adding them back.
The net cash flows from operating activities can be calculated using the following method:
Millions
1. Net Income 65
Add Non Cash Deductions
2. Depreciation 5.5
3. Loss on sale of Equipment 1.5
Add / (Less) the increase or
decrease in current Assets or
liabilities
4. Increase in Trade Receivables (2.5)
5. Increase in Trade Payables 3.5
6. Increase in inventory (4.5)
Net Cash Flows from operating activities $68.5
A company currently pays a dividend of $3.4 per share (D0 = $3.4). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a rate of 17% per year for the next 2 years, and then at a constant rate of 5% thereafter. The company's stock has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 6.5%, and the market risk premium is 1.5%. What is your estimate of the stock's current price? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
Current price of stock =$128.06
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
The model is given as
P = D× g/(r-g)
P- price, D- dividend payable in year 1, r -cost of equity, g - growth rate in dividend
Cost of equity
The cost of equity can be calculated using the Capital Asset Model (CAPM).
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 6.5%, (Rm-Rf)- 1.5, β- 1.3
Ke=6.5% + 1.3× (1.5)= 8.45%
Stock price
PV of dividend in year 1 = 3.4× 1.17× 1.0845^(-1)=3.668
PV of dividend in year 2 = 3.4× 1.17^2× 1.0845^(-2) = 3.9572
PV of dividend in year 3
This will be done in two(2) steps:
Step 1- PV in year 2 terms
3.4× 1.17^2× 1.05/(0.0845- 0.05)= 141.651
Step 2- PV in year 0
141.6513913× 1.0845^(-2)= 120.4375
Current piece of stock = 3.668 + 3.957 + 120.4375 = 128.062
Current price of stock =$128.062

Karen Bartlett was given a generic version of Sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug. The result was that she developed toxic epidermal necrolysis, a disease that disfigured and blinded her. She brought suit alleging that there were warnings that should have been put on the generic version of the drug because issues with the skin infections were being reported. However, the manufacturer to Sulindac did not have FDA approval to place the warning on the product. The jury awarded Ms. Bartlett $21 million, and the generic manufacturer appealed the decision. Which of the following theories would be the best approach for the generic manufacturer to take in order to have the verdict reversed?
a. the commerce clause
b. substantive due process
c. preemption
d. due process because of the excessive size of the verdict
Answer:
option c: Preemption
Explanation:
preemption can simply be defined as the rule of law that proclaims the federal law and the constitution as the supreme law in all the land so therefore if there is a case whereby there is a conflict between a federal and a state law, the federal law will be in absolute control and this will render the state law to be void.
there are two primary occasion that will warrant preemption they are where clearly, federal law preempts state or local law, and also where preemption is implied. different kind of preemption can also be said to be express preemption, implied preemption, field preemption, conflict preemption and frustration of purpose preemption.
A company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $90,000. Predicted annual cash inflows from this investment are $36,000 (year 1), $30,000 (year 2), $18,000 (year 3), $12,000 (year 4) and $6,000 (year 5). The payback period is:
Answer:
3.5 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested from the cumulative cash flows.
The amount invested is $-90,000
In the first year , $-90,000 + $36,000 = $-54,000 is recovered
In the second year, $-54,000 + $30,000 = $-24,000 is recovered
In the third year, $-24,000 + $18,000 = $-6,000 is recovered
In the fourth year, $-6,000 + $12,000 = $6000 is recovered.
By the fourth year, the total amount invested is recovered as the cash flow turns postive
Pay back period = 3 years + $6000/$12,000 = 3.5 years

Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency.
Answer:
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219
Explanation:
In order to calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency we would have to calculate the following formula:
manufacturing cycle efficiency=value added time/throughput time
value added time= 40 min
throughput time=Process time+Inspection time+movie time+Queue time
throughput time=40+5+15+2+120
throughput time=182 min
Therefore, manufacturing cycle efficiency=40/182
manufacturing cycle efficiency=0.219
The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:
1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)
= $32,900/$884,000 x 100
= 3.72%
2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)
= $269,700/$884,000 x 100
= 30.51%
c. If the net sales increases by 15%, the Net sales = $1,016,600 ($884,000 x 1.15)
If Gross profit increases by $40,443, the Gross profit = $310,143 ($269,700 + $40,443)
If Expenses increase by $58,600, the total operating Expenses = $282,400 ($223,800 + $58,600)
Revised Net Income:
Gross Profit $310,143
Total operating expenses (282,400)
Income from operations $27,743
Other revenues:
Gain from Disposal of Plant Assets $2,000
Other expenses:
Interest Expense ($5,000)
Income before Income Taxes $24,743
Income Tax Expense ($10,000)
Net Income After Taxes $14,743
b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:
1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)
= $14,743/$1,016,600 x 100
= 1.45%
2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)
= $310,143/$1,016,600 x 100
= 30.51%
d. With the proposed changes, the gross profit rate remains the same (without any impact) because the net sales increased by the same rate (15%) as the cost of goods sold and the gross profit.
However, the net income reduced drastically, especially with the income tax remaining the same amount.
Thus, without the income tax effect, there is no merit in this proposal as it reduced the net income margin from 3.72% to 1.45%.

A couple borrows $200,000 for a mortgage that requires fixed monthly payments over 30 consecutive years. The first monthly payment is due in one month. If the interest rate on the mortgage is 5%, which of the following comes closest to the monthly payment?
When would the calculation of the effective annual interest rate be most useful?
a. When comparing two investments with different annuity amounts
b. When comparing two investments with different par values
c. When comparing two investments that end at different points in time
d. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year
e. When comparing two investments that have different inherent risk
Answer:
(a) The monthly payment is $ 1,073.64
(b) The correct option is option D. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year.
Explanation:
Monthly payment = $1,073.64
Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:
$
I/Y = Rate = 5/12 = 0.416667
FV = Future value = $0
N = Total payment term 25*12 = 360
PV = Present value of loan -$200,000
CPT > PMT = Monthly Payment $1,073.64
1. The monthly payment by the couple is $1,073.64.
2. The calculation of the effective annual interest rate would be most useful d. When comparing two investments that compound differently within a year.
Data and Calculations:
The monthly payment is determined as follows:
(# of periods) = 360 months (30 x 12)
I/Y (Interest per year) = 5%
PV (Present Value) = $200,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:
Monthly Payment = $1,073.64
Sum of all periodic payments = $386,511.57

Compute ending merchandise inventory, cost of goodssold, and gross profit using the (1) FIFO inventory costingmethod, (2) LIFO inventory costing method, and (3) weighted-average inventory costing method. (Round weighted-average cost per unit to the nearest cent and all other amounts to the nearest dollar.)
Begin by determining ending merchandise inventory and cost of goods sold under each of the three methods.
Requirement 1.
FIFO
Plus:
Less:
Cost of goods sold
Requirement 2.
LIFO
Requirement 3.
Weighted-Average
Additional Information:
June.1 Beginning merchandise inventory 17 units at $15each
12 Purchase 5 units at $19each
20 Sale 14 units at $37each
24 Purchase 11 units at $23each
29 Sale 13 units at $37each
Answer:
a) Ending Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold under FIFO:
Beginning Inventory, 17 units at $15each $255
Plus Purchases:
June 12 Purchase, 5 units at $19each 95
June 24 Purchase, 11 units at $23each 253
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $603
Less Ending Inventory 138
Cost of Goods Sold $465
b) Ending Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold under LIFO:
Beginning Inventory, 17 units at $15each $255
Plus Purchases:
June 12 Purchase, 5 units at $19each 95
June 24 Purchase, 11 units at $23each 253
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $603
Less Ending Inventory 90
Cost of Goods Sold $513
c) Ending Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold under Weighted Average:
Beginning Inventory, 17 units at $15each $255
Plus Purchases:
June 12 Purchase, 5 units at $19each 95
June 24 Purchase, 11 units at $23each 253
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $603
Less Ending Inventory 109.62
Cost of Goods Sold $493.38
2. Ending Inventory = 6 units (17 units + 5 - 14 + 11 - 13)
FIFO LIFO Weighted Average
Ending Inventory value = $23 *6 = $138; $15 *6 = $90; $18.27 *6 = $109.62
Weighted Average = Cost of Goods Available for Sale / Quantity Available for Sale = $603/33 = $18.27 per unit
Explanation:
FIFO: First In, First Out: This is a method of costing inventory which assumes that goods remaining in stock are those that were brought in last. This means that goods are sold out according to the time they are bought, with earlier bought goods being sold before later bought goods.
LIFO: Last In, First Out: This costing method assumes that goods that are sold are those that were bought later leaving those bought earlier to remain in stock. The entity using this method exhausts the last quantity bought before selling the earlier quantities.
Weighted Average: This is another technique which weighs the averages of the cost of inventory before determining the value of inventory. The weighted average method divides the cost of the goods available for sale by the number of those units still on the shelf. The result is the weighted average cost per unit, which can be used to assign a cost to both the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold.
Kat Outfitting currently has $22,500 in cash. The company owes $49,500 to suppliers for merchandise and $52,500 to the bank for a long-term loan. Customers owe the company $41,000 for their purchases. The inventory has a book value of $76,800 and an estimated market value of $72,000. If the store compiled a balance sheet as of today, what would be the book value of the current assets?
Answer:
The book value of the current assets is $140,300
Explanation:
Cash = $22,500
Amount owed by company = $49,500
Amount Owed by Customers = $41,000
Book Value of Inventory = $76,800
Estimated market value = $72,000
Book Value of Current Assets = Cash + Amount Owed by Customers + Book Value of Inventory
Book Value of Current Assets = $22,500 + $41,000 + $76,800
Book Value of Current Assets = $140,300

Bookmark question for later Zoey is the CEO of a corporation she organized herself, and the corporation has 15 shareholders. The company operates in several states, as well as outside of the U.S. Her business consists mostly of training services for in-home medical care personnel. Her company would be a __________ corporation
Answer:
Professional corporation
Explanation:
A professional corporation is a type of corporation that is established by professional, majorly licensed individuals; they could include doctors, attorneys or architects. They mostly provide services that are related to the profession they practice. For example, architects establish an architectural firm to provide architectural services.
Professional corporations are usually established based on the laws binding the profession or the laws of the state. Most professional entrepreneurs can set up a professional corporation and can be established by one or more professionals.
In most professional corporations, the shareholders are usually only licensed individuals of the service rendered by the professional company.
Therefore, considering the information, Zoey's corporation would be a professional corporation.
Granite Construction Company is considering selling excess machinery with a book value of $328,100 (original cost of $449,200 less accumulated depreciation of $121,100) for $222,800, less a 6% brokerage commission. Alternatively, the machinery can be leased for a total of $217,860 for five years, after which it is expected to have no residual value. During the period of the lease, Granite Construction Company’s costs of repairs, insurance, and property tax expenses are expected to be $16,708.
Required:
A. Prepare a differential analysis, dated November 7 to determine whether Granite should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the machinery.
B. On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to lease or sell the machinery? Explain.
Answer:
A)
book value = $328,100
net selling cost = $222,800 - 6% = $209,432
net lease revenue = $217,860 - $16,708 = $201,152
Granite Construction

Revenue from lease $0 $217,860 ($217,860)
- lease expenses $0 ($16,708) $16,708
total $209,432 $201,152 $8,280
B) Granite Construction should sell the equipment since it will earn $8,280 more than leasing it, and that without considering the value of money in time (discount rate on lease revenue).
(LaVilla) LaVilla is a village in the Italian Alps. Given its enormous popularity among
Swiss, German, Austrian, and Italian skiers, all of its beds are always booked in the winter
season and there are, on average, 1,200 skiers in the village. On average, skiers stay in
LaVilla for 10 days.
a. How many new skiers are arriving—on average—in LaVilla every day?
b. A study done by the largest hotel in the village has shown that skiers spend on average $50 per person on the first day and $30 per person on each additional day in local
restaurants. The study also forecasts that—due to increased hotel prices—the average
length of stay for the 2003/2004 season will be reduced to five days. What will be the
percentage change in revenues of local restaurants compared to last year (when skiers
still stayed for 10 days)? Assume that hotels continue to be fully booked!
Q2.6 (Highway) While driving home for the holidays, you can’t seem to get Little’s Law out of
Answer:
a) 120 skiers per day
b) 6.25% increase in revenue
Explanation:
a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.
__
b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...
50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n
and the average spending per day is ...
(20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30
So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...
20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day
And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...
20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day
The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...
(34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%
Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.
Investment Management Inc. (IMI) uses the capital market line to make asset allocation recommendations. IMI derives the
following forecasts:
• Expected return on the market portfolio: 12%.
• Standard deviation on the market portfolio: 20%.
• Risk-free rate: 5%.
Samuel Johnson seeks 'Ml's advice for a portfolio asset allocation. Johnson informs IMI that he wants the standard deviation of the portfolio to equal half of the standard deviation for the market portfolio. Using the capital market line, what expected return can IMI provide subject to Johnson's risk constraint?
Answer:
The expected return that IMI can provide subject to Johnson's risk constraint is 8.5%
Explanation:
Capital Market Line (CML)
Expected return on the market portfolio, E([tex]r_m[/tex]) = 12 %
Standard deviation on the market portfolio, σ[tex]_p[/tex] = 20%
Risk-free rate, [tex]r_f[/tex] = 5%
E([tex]r_c[/tex]) = [tex]r_f[/tex] + [ E([tex]r_p[/tex]) - [tex]r_f[/tex] ] × ( σ[tex]_c[/tex] ÷ σ[tex]_p[/tex])
= 0.05 + [ 0.12 - 0.05] × (0.10 ÷ 0.20)
= 8.5%
You have been asked to analyze the bids for 200 polished disks used in solar panels. These bids have been submitted by three suppliers: Thailand Polishing, India Shine, and Sacramento Glow. Thailand Polishing has submitted a bid of 3,000 baht. India Shine has submitted a bid of 3,000 rupee. Sacramento Glow has submitted a bid of $3,000. You check with your local bank and find that $1=10 baht , and $1=8 rupee. The final destination for the disks is New Delhi, India and there is a 35% import tax. Thailand Polishing and Sacramento Glow are based outside of India and India Shine is based in India.A .What is the price per unit in dollars, including import tax for Thailand polishing?B. What is the price per unit for India Shine?C. What is the price per unit for Sacramento Glow?
Answer:
(a) Thailand polishing price per unit is $2.03
(b) India shine price per unit is $1.88
(c) Sacramento glow price per unit is $15
Explanation:
(a) Thailand polishing:
Thailand polishing has submitted a quote of 3000 baht
$1 = 10 bhat
1 bhat = $ 0.1
Thailand polishing submitted bid = 3000 × $0.1 =$300
Import tax = 35%
Total cost = 1.35 × 300 = $405
Cost per unit = 405 ÷ 200 = $2.03
(b) India shine:
India shine has submitted a bid of 3000 rupees
$1 = 8 rupees
1 Rupee = $0.125
India shine submitted bid = 3000 × 0.125 = $375
Price per unit = 375 ÷ 200 = $1.88
(c) Sacramento Glow submitted bid = $3,000
price per unit = $3,000 ÷ 200
= $15

Cho's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Miami that sells gluten-free pizzas. Cho's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the three ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Cho signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the three ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Cho's kitchen cannot fit more than three ovens, Cho cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run. However, Cho's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Cho lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are __________ inputs, and the ovens are __________ inputs.
Answer: Variable ... Fixed
Explanation:
In the short run, Variable Inputs or costs are known as those which can be changed and their quantities can be varied. In this scenario, the employees that Cho's uses can be varied and so are the Variable Inputs.
Similarly, those costs that cann ot be changed or varied in the short run are rightly known as Fixed Inputs. Cho's Kitchen cannot take more than 3 ovens and also she has already signed a lease for them. These costs cannot be changed and so make the oven a Fixed Input.
It is worthy of note that in the long term, all Costs are considered Variable.
Lansing, Inc., provided the following data for its two producing departments: Molding Polishing Total Estimated overhead $400,000 $80,000 $480,000 Direct labor hours (expected and actual): Form A 1,000 5,000 6,000 Form B 4,000 15,000 19,000 Total 5,000 20,000 25,000 Machine hours: Form A 3,500 3,000 6,500 Form B 1,500 2,000 3,500 Total 5,000 5,000 10,000 Machine hours are used to assign the overhead of the Molding Department, and direct labor hours are used to assign the overhead of the Polishing Department. There are 30,000 units of Form A produced and sold and 50,000 of Form B. Required:
1. Calculate the overhead rates for each department.
2. Using departmental rates, assign overhead to the two products and calculate the overhead cost per unit. How does this compare with the plantwide rate unit cost, using direct labor hours?
3. What if the machine hours in Molding were 1,200 for Form A and 3,800 for Form B and the direct labor hours used in Polishing were 5,000 and 15,000, respectively? Calculate the overhead cost per unit for each product using departmental rates, and compare with the plantwide rate unit costs calculated in Requirement 2. What can you conclude from this outcome?
Answer:
1. Form A$80 per machine hour
Form B $4 per direct labor hour
2.Form A from $3.84 to $10.00
Form B from $7.30 to $3.60
3. Form A Unit overhead cost $ 3.87
Form B Unit overhead cost $ 7.28
Explanation:
Lansing, Inc
1. Overhead rates for each department will be;
Molding
$400,000/5,000
= $80 per machine hour
Polishing
$80,000/20,000
= $4 per direct labor hour
2. The overhead assignment:
Form A
($80 ×3,500) + ($4 ×5,000)
$280,000+$20,000
=$300,000
Form B
($80 ×1,500) + ($4 ×15,000)
$120,000+$20,000
=$180,000
Total applied overhead $300,000 and $180,000
Units of production Form A :
300,000÷30,000
=Unit overhead cost $10.00
Units of production Form B
180,000÷50,000
= Unit overhead cost $3.60
Plantwide rate Will be :
$480,000/25,000
= $19.20 per direct labor hour
Form A overhead cost in units will be:
$19.20 ×6,000/30,000
$19.20×0.2
$3.84
Form B overhead cost in unit will be :
$19.20 ×19,000/50,000
$19.20×0.38
$7.296 approximately $7.30
The plantwide rate for Form A
$3.84 to $10.00
The plantwide rate for Form B
$7.30 to $3.60
3. Overhead assignment:
Form A
($80 ×1,200) + ($4 ×5,000)
=$96,000+$20,000
=$116,000
Form B
($80 ×3,800) + ($4 ×15,000)
=$304,000 +$60,000
=$364,000
Total applied overhead
Form A $116,000
Form B $364,000
Units of production
Form A
$116,000 ÷ 30,000
=Unit overhead cost $ 3.87
Form B
$364,000÷ 50,000
Unit overhead cost $ 7.28
When compared to the plantwide unit overhead costs the cost will be $0.03 more higher for Form A and $0.02 less for Form B.
Which means that departmental rates may not cause a change in the assignments because It will depends on the complexity of each product and the way in which the resource demands are been made in each of the department.
