Baker Enterprises operates a midsized company that specializes in the production of a unique type of memory chip. It is currently the only firm in the market, and it earns $10 million per year by charging the monopoly price of $115 per chip. Baker is concerned that a new firm might soon attempt to clone its product. If successful, this would reduce Baker’s profit to $4 million per year. Estimates indicate that, if Baker increases its output to 280,000 units (which would lower its price to $100 per chip), the entrant will stay out of the market and Baker will earn profits of $8 million per year for the indefinite future. 1. What must Baker do to credibly deter entry by limit pricing? 2. Does it make sense for Baker to limit price if the interest rate is 10 percent?
Answer:
Baker Industries manufactures two products: A and B. The company predicts a sales volume of 10,000 units for product A and ending finished-goods inventory of 2,000 units. These numbers for product B are 12,000 and 3,000, respectively. Bacon currently has 7,000 units of A in inventory and 9,000 units

Mordica Company’s standard labor cost per unit of output is $22.00 (2.00 hours x $11.00 per hour). During August, the company incurs 2,340 hours of direct labor at an hourly cost of $9.90 per hour in making 1,300 units of finished product.
Required:
Compute the total, price, and quantity labor variances.
Solution :
Total labor variance = [(standard rate x standard hours) - (actual rate x actual hours)]
= [$11 x (1300 x 2)] - ($9.90 x 2340)
= $28600 - $23166
= $ 5434 unfavorable
Labor price variance = ( standard rate - actual rate) x actual hours
= ($11.00 - $9.90) x 2340
= $ 1.1 x 2340
= $2574 favorable
Labor quantity variance = standard x (standard hours - actual hours)
= $11.00 x [(1300 x 2) - 2340]
= $11.00 x (2600 - 2340)
= $11.00 x 260
= $2860 unfavorable
If the price level is above the equilibrium price level, how does the aggregate quantity of goods and services demanded compare to the aggregate quantity of goods and services supplied at the price level?
Answer:
When price is above the equilibrium price level, quantity demanded would be less than the quantity supplied. This would lead to a surplus
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied.
Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded. As a result of the surplus, price would fall until equilibrium is reached.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. As a result of the shortage, price would rise until equilibrium is reached.

A permanent flood control dam is expected to have an initial cost of $2.8 million and an annual upkeep cost of $20,000. In addition, minor reconstruction will be required every 5 years at a cost of $200,000. As a result of the dam, flood damage will be reduced by an average of $180,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 6% per year, the conventional B/C ratio will be closest to:
Answer:
0.81
Explanation:
Present Value of annual Maintenance cost = $20,000 / 6% = $333,333.33
In five year time, $200,000 is required as major maintenance cost. So effective rate for 5 year = [(1 + 6%) ^ 5] - 1 = 1.3382 - 1 = 0.3382 = 33.82%. Present Value of 5 year cost = $200,000 / 33.82% = $200,000 / 0.3382 = $591,366.06
Total Present Value cost = $2,800,000 + $333,333.33 + $591,366.06 = $3,724,699.39.
Annual Cost = $3,724,699.39 * 6% = $223,481.96.
Benefit / Cost = $180,000 / $223,481.96
Benefit / Cost = 0.805434138845032
Benefit / Cost = 0.81
So, conventional B/C ratio is 0.81.

Explanation:
The role of financial manager has different perspectives, ensuring that the required funding for positive NPV projects is available such that the firm can increase its shareholders' wealth by investing in profitable investment opportunities.
Investing means when the funds are made available , the manager must priotize those projects with higher opportunities over those with lower growth opportunities.
Lastly, the financial manager is responsible for dividend decisions, what fraction of earnings should be paid out to shareholders as dividends)not operating decisions)
Following is information on two alternative investments being considered by Tiger Co. The company requires a 15% return from its investments. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Project X1 Project X2
Initial investment $ (98,000 ) $ (144,000 )
Expected net cash flows in:
Year 1 36,000 76,500
Year 2 46,500 66,500
Year 3 71,500 56,500
a. Compute each project's net present value.
b. Compute each project's profitability index. If the company can choose only one project, which should it choose?
Answer:
X1 NPV = $15,477.44
X2 NPV = $9,954.96
X1 PI = 1.16
X2 P2 = 1.07
X1 should be chosen
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
X1
Cash flow in year 0 = -98,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 36,000
Cash flow in year 2 = 46,500
Cash flow in year 3 = 71,500
I = 15%
NPV = 15,477.44
X2
Cash flow in year 0 = (144,000 )
Cash flow in year 1 = 76,500
Cash flow in year 2 = 66,500
Cash flow in year 3 = 56,500
I = 15%
NPV = 9954.96
profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)
X1 - 1 + (15,477.44 / 98,000) = 1.16
X2 - 1 + (9954.96 / 144,000) = 1.07
X1 should be chosen because it has a higher NPV. this means that the project is more profitable than X2
To determine NPV using a financial calculator take the following steps:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

A. 50,000 units.
B. 300,000 units.
C. 75,000 units.
D. 30,000 units.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
If the sales of a company exceeds the breakeven quantity, the firms is earning a profit.
If the company's sales is less than the Breakeven quantity , the firm is making losses that would not be recouped
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
150,000 / (5 -3) = 75000

In addition to cost, what factors should be considered in selecting a building contractor? What can go wrong if the lowest bid is selected and nothing else is considered?
Answer:
The proper answer about what the question asked is explained below.
Explanation:
To begin with, when it comes to the construction area there are a lot of factors to consider at the time of selecting a building constructor. It is not just about the cost, but most importantly of all about the level of quality and recognition the constructor has in its business area. As well as the knowledge that will come all in the same package because the person that is in charge of constructing a building must be a professional in that. So eventhough the cost is important for the business the quality of the service hired is further more important. That is because in the case the lowest bid is selected and it turns out that it is not a very good one then future trouble can come with that decision, like piping problems or gas problems or structures problems, etc. And that will not only led to more future expenses but also to possible damage to some lives.

Rachel is preparing to open her own raft rental business, cleverly named Rachel's Rafts. She figures out that her fixed costs will be $7,500 and her unit variable costs are $2 per raft. She plans to rent all 2,500 rafts she has on hand. What is Rachel's breakeven price
Answer:
selling price= $5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed cost= $7,500
Unitary variable cost= $2
Break-even point= 2,500 units
The break-even point is the number of units to sell to cover the fixed costs. At this level, net income is zero.
So given the costs structure and 2,500 units to sell, the selling price that provides the break-even point is:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable cost)
2,500 = 7,500 / (selling price - 2)
2,500selling price - 5,000 = 7,500
2,500selling price = 12,500
selling price = 12,500 / 2,500
selling price= $5

During its first year of operations, the McCormick Company incurred the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials, $6 per unit, Direct labor, $4 per unit, Variable overhead, $5 per unit, and Fixed overhead, $240,000. The company produced 30,000 units, and sold 20,000 units, leaving 10,000 units in inventory at year-end. Income calculated under variable costing is determined to be $370,000. How much income is reported under absorption costing?
a. $370,000
b. $290,000
c. $610,000
d. $450,000
Answer: d. $450,000
Explanation:
In absorption costing, the fixed costs are absorbed by the products so that the cost of goods sold is inclusive of fixed costs.
First find the fixed overhead for the ending inventory:
= Fixed overhead per unit * Number of units in ending inventory
= 240,000 / 30,000 * 10,000
= $80,000
This is the fixed overhead that is deferred to the next year.
Income under absorption costing = Income under variable costing + Fixed overhead deferred:
= 370,000 + 80,000
= $450,000

As capital investments flow from high wage Core countries to low wage Periphery regions, _______________________ shifts take place in both (hint: the narrative is that this is MOBILE)
Answer: Labor
Explanation:
As a result of capital investments flowing, the labor in both the high wage countries and the low wage peripheral regions will shift due to interactions between the two labor systems.
The lower wage peripheral regions for instance, will see a rise in wages paid to their workers on account of the higher capital investment and people from these areas will move to the higher wage countries where they will be paid less which would reduce the wages paid in these higher wage countries.

8. Based on the data given (1 - 6), would you recommend accepting the proposal?
In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales units = 1,000,000
Selling price = $188
Total
Sales $188,000,000
Cost of goods sold (100,000,000)
Variable cost of goods sold = $70,000,000
Fixed cost of goods sold = $30,000,000
Gross profit $88,000,000
Expenses:
Selling expenses $16,000,000
Variable selling expenses $12,000,000
Fixed selling expense = $4,000,000
Administrative expenses 12,000,000
Variable administrative expenses = $6,000,000
Fixed administrative expenses = $6,000,000
Total expenses (28,000,000)
Operating income $60,000,000
The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows:
Variable Fixed
Cost of goods sold 70% 30%
Selling expenses 75% 25%
Administrative expenses 50% 50%
Total Unit Cost
Variable cost of goods sold = $70,000,000 $70
Variable selling expenses 12,000,000 12
Variable administrative expenses 6,000,000 6
Total variable costs = $88,000,000 $88
Contribution margin = $100 ($188 - $88)
Fixed cost of goods sold = $30,000,000
Fixed selling expense = 4,000,000
Fixed administrative expenses = 6,000,000
Total fixed costs = $40,000,000
Break-even sales units = $40,000,000/$100 = 400,000 units
Proposal:
Sales revenue increase = $11,280,000
Fixed costs by $5,000,000 to $45,000,000 ($40 million + $5 million)
Sales units increase = 60,000 ($11,280,000/$188)
Break-even sales units = 450,000 ($45,000,000/$100)
Units to realize target profit of $60,000,000:
= ($45,000,000 + $60,000,000)/$100
= $105,000,000/$100
= 1,050,000,000 units
Profit with the expanded plan
= Total contribution - Fixed Costs
= $100 * 1,060,000 - $45,000,000
= $106,000,000 - $45,000,000
= $61,000,000
With sales at current level of 1,000,000 units
Sales revenue = $188,000,000
Variable costs 88,000,000
Contribution $100,000,000
Fixed costs 45,000,000
Operating income $55,000,000

A) 2.5 days
B) 17.5 days
C) 21 days
D) 35 days
E) 7.0 days
Answer: B. 17.5 days
Explanation:
The safety stock that Jackson Collectibles has is 35 units.
Their weekly demand however is 14 units.
This means that the number of weeks they can survive on safety stock is:
= Safety stock / demand per week
= 35 / 14
= 2.5 weeks
In days this is:
= 2.5 * 7
= 17.5 days
