The profit from 2,000 units at $349 will be:
Profit = Total revenue – Total cost
Total revenue = (P x Q)
= $349 x 2000
= $698000
Total cost = [FC + (UVC x Q)]=
= [$38,000 + ($145 x 2,000)]
=$38000 + $290000
= $328000
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost
Profit = $698000 - $328000
Profit = $370000

Firm X is considering the replacement of an old machine with one that has a purchase price of $70,000. The current market value of the old machine is $18,000 but the book value is $32,000. The firm's tax rate is 30%. What is the net cash outflow for the new machine after considering the sale of the old machine? Disregard the effect of depreciation of the new machine if acquired.
A. $47,800
B. $70,000
C. $52,000
D. $40,100 20.
Answer:
A. $47,800
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net cash outflow for the new machine after considering the sale of the old machine
First step
Loss on sale of old machine = 18000 - 32,000
Loss on sale of old machine = ($14,000)
Second step
Tax savings from loss on sale=14,000 x 30%
Tax savings from loss on sale = $4200
Third step
Net benefit from sale of old machine = Sales proceeds + tax on loss of sale
Net benefit from sale of old machine= $18,000 + $4200
Net benefit from sale of old machine= $22,200
Now let determine the Net cash outflow for new machine
Net cash outflow for new machine = Cost of new machine – Net benefit
Net cash outflow for new machine= $70,000 – $22,200
Net cash outflow for new machine= $47,800
Therefore the net cash outflow for the new machine after considering the sale of the old machine is $47,800
A manufacturing company that produces a single product has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 146 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 2,470 Units sold 2,040 Units in ending inventory 430 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 50 Direct labor $ 20 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 11 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 19 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 69,160 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 20,400 The total gross margin for the month under absorption costing is:
Answer:
Total gross margin= $75,480
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price $ 146
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 2,470
Units sold 2,040
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 50
Direct labor $ 20
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 11
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 69,160
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + total unitary overhead
Unitary fixed overhead= 69,160 / 2,470= $28
Unit product cost= 50 + 20 + (11 + 28)= $109
Now, the gross margin:
Unitary Gross margin= selling price - Unit product cost
Unitary Gross margin= 146 - 109
Unitary Gross margin= $37
Total gross margin= 37*2,040
Total gross margin= $75,480
If a consumer is always indifferent between an additional one grapefruit or an additional two oranges, then when oranges are on the horizontal axis the indifference curves: Group of answer choices will be straight lines with a slope of 1/2. will be straight lines with a slope of -1. will be right angles whose corners occur on a ray from the origin with a slope of 2. none of these options is correct. will be straight lines with a slope of -1/2.
Answer: will be straight lines with a slope of -1/2.
Explanation:
An indifference curve simply means the combination of two goods that can give a consumer equal satisfaction, and this makes the consumer indifferent.
It should be noted that along the curve, the consumer will have an equal preference which is for the combinations of the goods that are shown.
If a consumer is always indifferent between an additional one grapefruit or an additional two oranges, then when oranges are on the horizontal axis, then the indifference curves will be straight lines with a slope of -1/2. Here, the fact that the slope is negative
is due to the fact that the curve is downward sloping.
Over the years, Hampton Industries' stockholders have provided $40,000,000 of capital when they purchased new issues of stock and allowed management to retain some of the firm's earnings. The firm now has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and the shares sell at a price of $52 per share. What is Hampton's MVA(market value added)
Answer:
Hampton Industries
Hampton's Market value added (MVA) is:
= $12,000,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Stockholders' Equity = $40,000,000
Common stock outstanding = 1,000,000
Market price per share = $52
Market capitalization = $52,000,000 ($52 * 1,000,000)
Market value added (MVA) = $12,000,000 ($52,000,000 - $40,000,000)
b) The market value added (MVA) is the difference between the market capitalization of Hampton's stock and the capital contribution of stockholders.
TCost-908 Car Mechanic Inc. uses a job-order costing system. The company applies all of its overhead costs to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it made the following estimates: Direct labor-hours required to support estimated output 22,000 Fixed overhead cost $ 253,000 Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 1.00 During the year, a customer brought in her car for repairs. The following information was available with respect to the car's repairs: Direct materials $ 703 Direct labor cost $ 317 Direct labor-hours used 8 If TCost-908 sets its selling prices by adding a markup percentage of 40% of its total job cost, then how much would the company have charged this customer for her car's repairs?
Solution :
1. Predetermined overhead rate
Fixed [tex]\text{overhead cost}[/tex] (253,000 / 22,000) = $ 11.5
Variable [tex]\text{overhead cost}[/tex] per direct labor-hour = $ 1
Predetermined overhead rate = $12.5
2. Total job cost $
Direct materials 703
Direct labor cost 317
Applied overhead (8 hours x $12.5 per direct labor hour) = 100
Total job cost = $ 1120
3. Charges = $ 1120 x 140%
= $1568

If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be $800
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
On the first of January, listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6.
After a month, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4.
sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract.
Now,
we determine the Change in the value of bond purchased in spot
⇒ ( 95 - 95.4 )% × $100,000
= -0.4% × $100,000
= -$400
Next, we determine the Change in the value of bond sold in futures
⇒ ( 95.6 - 94.4 )% × $100,000
= 1.2% × $100,000
= $1200
Hence, change in the value of combined position will be;
⇒ ( -$400 ) + ( $1200 ) = $800
Therefore, If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be $800

When preparing the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the direct method, revenues and gains with no cash inflows are added back to net income. True or False 16
Answer: False
Explanation:
The primary reason for the Statement of Cashflows is to see how the company spends and receives its cash so that it can get a better view of just how much actual cash the company has.
This means that the method of preparing the cashflow statement could either be direct or indirect and this would not affect the fact that only items that have actual cash flows will be recorded.

The conversion cost per equivalent unit for April is
a.$2.81
b.$2.49
c.$2.89
d.$3.24
Answer: c. $2.89 per unit
Explanation:
Using the First-In, First-Out method, we need to find the equivalent units first:
= Equivalent opening units + Units started and completed + Equivalent ending units
= (Opening units left to be completed) + (Units completed - opening units) + (proportion of closing units completed with respect to conversion)
= (3,000 * (1 - 40%)) + (12,000 - 3,000) + (1,000 * 40%)
= 11,200 units
Conversion costs = 32,363
Conversion cost per units:
= 32,363 / 11,200 units
= $2.89 per unit

Compute the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure.
A. 8.85%.
B. 12.56%.
C. 13.01%.
D. 9.94%.
Answer:
A.8.85%
Explanation:
Computation to determine the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure.
First step is to calculate the Cost of equity capital using this formula
Cost of equity capital = Risk free rate + (Beta*Market premium)
Let plug in the formula
Cost of equity capital = 2.3% + (1.13*5.3%)
Cost of equity capital=8.28%
Now let determine theWeighted average cost capital
Weighted average cost capital = [.70*.14*(1-.35)]+(.30*.0828)
Weighted average cost capital= [.70*.14*.65]+.02484
Weighted average cost capital=0.0637+.02484
Weighted average cost capital= .0885*100
Weighted average cost capital= 8.85%
Therefore the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure is 8.85%

Tobias has a brokerage account and buys on the margin, which resulted in an interest expense of $52,000 during the year. Income generated through the brokerage account was as follows: Municipal interest $104,000 Taxable dividends and interest 520,000 If required, round any division to two decimal places and use in subsequent computations.

= Interest expense * Proportion of total income that is taxable
Municipal interest is not taxable so the proportion of total income that is taxable is:
= Taxable dividends and interest / Total income
= 520,000 / (520,000 + 104,000)
= 0.83
Amount of investment interest that is deductible:
= 52,000 * 0.83
= $43,160
