Which of the following is an example of a mixed cost?
a. electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour
b. salary of a factory supervisor
c. rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use
d. straight-line depreciation on factory equipment

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Mixed cost is a cost that consists of both fixed cost and variable cost

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e.g., rent, mortgage payments, depreciation

Variable costs are costs that vary with production

An example of variable cost is electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour. If the factory is locked down, no electricity cost would be incurred.

The rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use consists of both a fixed cost and a variable cost

the fixed cost is 10,000

the variable cost is  $0.30 per machine hour

a. 11.3%; 1.73
b. 11.3%; 19.5
c. 1.7%; 19.5
d. 1.7%; 11.3
d. 19.5%; 11.3

Answers

Answer:

11.3%, 1.73

Explanation:

Net income= 43,000

Net sales= 380,500

Total assests= 220,000

Therefore profit margin can be calculated as follows=

Net income/sales

= 43000/380,500

= 0.113×100

= 11.3%

Total assets turnover can be calculated as follows

= 380,500/220,000

= 1.73

the Hence profit margin is 11.3% and total assets turnover is 1.73

Big Red Motors, Inc., employs 15 personnel to market its line of luxury automobiles. The average car sells for $75,000, and a 6 percent commission is paid to the salesperson. Big Red Motors is considering a change to the commission arrangement where the company would pay each salesperson a salary of $1,600 per mont plus a commission of 2 percent of the sales made by that salesperson. What is the amount of total monthly car sales at whit Big Red Motors would be indifferent as to which plan to select?

Answers

Answer: $600,000

Explanation:

The commission earned per car in the initial arrangement is:

= 6% * Total cars sales

With the second arrangement the amount spent would be:

= Salary of employees + commission

= (15 * 1,600) + (2% * total car sales)

= 24,000 + (2% * car sales)

Assuming total car sales is x, relevant expression is:

6% * x = 24,000 + (2% * x)

0.06x = 24,000 + 0.02x

0.06x - 0.02x = 24,000

0.04x = 24,000

x = 24,000 / 0.04

x = $600,000

The company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock. What will the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase?

Answers

Answer:

$50

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase

First step

Total Assets=Value of operations of 20,000+ Short term investments of 1000

Total Assets=$21,000

Second step

Equity =Assets - Debt

Equity= $21,000-$6,000

Equity= $15,000

Now let determine the intrinsic per share stock price

Intrinsic per share stock price=$15,000/300

Intrinsic per share stock price=$50

Therefore the Intrinsic value per share will be $50 immediately after the repurchase has occured.

The intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase would be approximately $166,716.67

How did we get the value?

To determine the intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase, we need to calculate the new number of shares outstanding after the repurchase and then divide the remaining value of operations by the new number of shares.

Given data:

Value of operations: $20,000

Short-term investments: $1,000

Debt: $6,000

Number of shares: 300

First, we need to calculate the new number of shares outstanding after the repurchase. Since the company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock, we can use this information to determine the number of shares repurchased.

The value of operations ($20,000) plus the short-term investments ($1,000) minus the debt ($6,000) gives us the total equity value of the company before the repurchase:

Equity value before repurchase = Value of operations + Short-term investments - Debt

= $20,000 + $1,000 - $6,000

= $15,000

Let's assume the repurchased shares are denoted by R.

Now, we can set up an equation to represent the total equity value after the repurchase:

Equity value after repurchase = (Number of shares - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price

Given that the total equity value after the repurchase is $15,000 and the number of shares is 300, we have:

$15,000 = (300 - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price

We also know that the company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock, so we can set up another equation to represent the total value of the repurchased shares:

Total value of repurchased shares = R × Intrinsic per share stock price

Given that the total value of repurchased shares is $50 million, we have:

$50,000,000 = R × Intrinsic per share stock price

Now we can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of R (repurchased shares) and Intrinsic per share stock price.

We have the following system of equations:

$15,000 = (300 - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price ...(1)

$50,000,000 = R × Intrinsic per share stock price ...(2)

Divide equation (2) by Intrinsic per share stock price:

$50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price = R

Substitute this value of R into equation (1):

$15,000 = (300 - ($50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price)) × Intrinsic per share stock price

Simplify:

$15,000 = 300 × Intrinsic per share stock price - (50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price) × Intrinsic per share stock price

$15,000 = 300 × Intrinsic per share stock price - 50,000,000

Rearrange the equation:

300 × Intrinsic per share stock price = $15,000 + $50,000,000

300 × Intrinsic per share stock price = $50,015,000

Intrinsic per share stock price = $50,015,000 / 300

Intrinsic per share stock price = $166,716.67 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase would be approximately $166,716.67.

Answers

Question Completion:

Direct materials cost $150,000

Direct labor cost $100,000

Variable overhead $50,000

Fixed overhead $60,000

Answer:

Sutton Inc.

The correct make-or-buy decision is:

Continue to produce the component.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production costs:

Direct materials cost $150,000

Direct labor cost       $100,000

Variable overhead     $50,000

Fixed overhead         $60,000

Production costs =  $360,000

Relevant costs to make:

Direct materials cost $150,000

Direct labor cost       $100,000

Variable overhead     $50,000

Fixed overhead          $28,000

Avoidable costs =    $328,000

Cost of purchasing the component = $345,000

Mary is currently buying apples and oranges such that the last unit of apples has 30 units of utility and the last unit of oranges has 40 units of utility. She has allocated her entire budget. If the price of an apple is 10 cents and the price of an orange is 20 cents, to maximize her utility, what should Mary do

Answers

Answer:

Buy more apples and fewer oranges

Explanation:

Utility is defined as the level of enjoyment or satisfaction that a person gets from consumption of a good or service.

Consumers logically try to maximise utility.

In the given instance we need to get the level of utility for apples and oranges to see which has more utility per unit cash spent.

For apples utility per cash spent = 30 units of utility ÷ 10 cents= 3 utility per cent

For oranges utility per cash spent = 40 units of utility ÷ 20 cents = 2 utility per cent

As apples have a higher utility per cent spent, it will be best Mary buys more apples and fewer oranges

Competitive priorities define the dimensions on which companies should excel in producing their products or services. Which one of the following statements is true?
a. A firm offering little customization cannot compete simultaneously on the dimension of consistent quality.
b. A firm that competes on the dimension of customization tends to have operating systems that are inflexible.
c. It is impossible for a firm to improve cost and quality simultaneously.
d. A firm that competes on the dimension of volume flexibility is more likely to manufacture products that experience a seasonal demand variation.

Answers

Answer:

b. A firm that competes on the dimension of customization tends to have operating systems that are inflexible.

Explanation:

It is correct to say that a company that competes in the customization dimension tends to have inflexible operating systems, because product customization is a different process from mass production, as the demand is different, the customization process takes longer and therefore requires inflexible operating systems.

Asonia Co. will pay a dividend of $4.95, $9.05, $11.90, and $13.65 per share for each of the next four years, respectively. The company will then close its doors. If investors require a return of 9.2 percent on the company's stock, what is the stock price

Answers

Answer: $30.86

P = $4.95/(1 + .92) + $9.05/(1 + .92)^2 + $11.90/(1 + .92)^3 + $13.65/(1 + .92)^4

P = 4.53+7.59+ 9.14+ 9.60=$30.86

Joshua borrowed $1,400 for one year and paid $70 in interest. The bank charged him a service charge of $12. If Joshua repaid the loan in 12 equal monthly payments, what is the APR? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
APR %

Answers

Answer: 10.81%

Explanation:

The annual percentage rate is the percentage cost of credit on yearly basis.

APR will be calculated

= [(2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1)]

where,

n = number of months = 12

I = Finance cost = Interest + service charge = $70 + $12 = $82

P = Borrowed amount = $1,400

N= Loan period = 12

We'll then slot the values into the annual percentage rate (APR) formula and this will be:

= ( 2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1))

= ( 2 x 12 x 82) /( 1400 x ( 12 + 1))

= 0.1081

=10.81 %

You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.62 and the total portfolio is exactly as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio

Answers

Answer:

1.71

Explanation:

Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors

The market has a beta of one. If a portfolio has the same level of systematic risk that is the same as that of the market, its beta would be equal to 1.  

The beta of a risk free asset is zero

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock  

1 = (0.3 x 1.62) + (0.3 x 0) + (0.3 x a)

1 = 0.486 + 0 + 0.3a

1 - 0.486 = 0.3a
