Answer:
Net operating income is $ 15,400.00
Explanation:
The company's operating income if it sells 5,300 units is calculated thus:
sales (5,300*$319,200/5,700) $296,800.00
variable expenses($188,100/5700*5300) ($174,900.00)
Contribution $ 121,900.00
Fixed expenses ($106,500.00)
Net operating expenses $ 15,400.00
The net operating expenses dropped when 5,300 units were sold because the higher the volume, the more the contribution towards covering fixed expenses
Answer:
Net operating income= $15,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (5,700 units) $319,200
Variable expenses 188,100
Contribution margin 131,100
Fixed expenses 106,500
Net operating income $ 24,600
Sales now= 5,300 units
First, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin:
Unitary contribution margin= 131,100/5,700= $23
Contribution margin for 5,300:
Total contribution margin= 23*5,300= $121,900
Fixed costs= 106,500
Net operating income= $15,400
Marshall Grocery Delivery Service reports the following information: Rate per hour of direct labor is: Labor rate per hour $ 20 Rate per hour of direct labor $ 25.80 Materials markup 23 % Target profit margin 20 % The materials markup for a job that will use 100 labor hours and $2,000 of materials is:
Answer:
$460
Explanation:
The following information was reported from Marshall Grocery delivery service report
Labor rate per hour= $20
Rate per hour= $25.80
Materials markup= 23%
Target profit margin= 20%
The material markup for a job that will use 100 labor hours and $2,000 of materials is calculated as follows
Materials markup= Materials × percentage
= $2,000×23/100
= $2,000×0.23
= $460
Hence the materials markup is $460
Purchasing power parity is used to adjust gross national income in order to make a more direct comparison of________in various countries.
a. living standards.
b. population density.
c. geographical area.
d. factor endowments.
e. labor productivity.
Answer:
A. living standards.
Explanation:
HDI( Human development index) has been trying to assess 189 different countries and territories, with very different price levels. In order to compare economic statistics across countries, the data must first be converted into a common currency. In contrast to market exchange rates, PPP exchange rates make it possible for this conversion to take into account price differences between countries. This best represents the standard of living of people, GNI per capita (PPP)
On October 1, Black Company receives a 10% interest bearing note from Reese Company to settle an $21,800 account receivable. The note is due in six months. At December 31, Black should record interest revenue of:
a. $0
b. $450
c. $900
d. $1,800
Answer:
At December 31, Black should record interest revenue of: $545
Explanation:
Black Company receives a 10% interest bearing note from Reese Company to settle an $21,800 account receivable.
The amount of the interest per year = 10% x $21,800 = $2,180
At December 31, following 3 months, the interest accrual = $2,180/12 x 3 = $545

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors, and 5% are informed traders. The portfolio consisting of all informed traders has a beta of 1.4 and an expected return of 16%. The market has an expected return of 10% and the risk-free rate is 4%. The alpha for the informed investors is closest to:
Answer:
3.6%
Explanation:
The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha
16% = 12.4% + Alpha
So,
Alpha = 3.6%
We simply applied the above formula to determine the alpha
The rate of return is a metric for determining whether an investment has made a profit or loss money over time.
Given Information:-
Beta=1.4Expected return=16%expected return=10%Risk-free rate=4%
The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:
Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 1.4 × (10% - 4%) + Alpha
16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha
16% = 12.4% + Alpha
Alpha = 3.6%

Between 2015 and 2016, the country of North Grogolia experienced a growth rate of -1.4%. If nominal GDP had increased by 3.1% and the population growth was recorded at 0.7%, then calculate the annual inflation rate in North Grogolia. Give your answer to one decimal.
Answer: 3.8%
Explanation:
To calculate this you can use the Economic Growth Formula because price change is one of the components of the equation and as you may know, inflation is the change in Prices from one period to the next.
The Equation is,
Economic Growth = % Δ Nominal GDP – % Δ Prices – % Δ Population.
Making % Δ Prices the subject gives,
% Δ Prices = - Economic growth + % Δ Nominal GDP - % Δ Population
= - (- 1.4%) + 3.1% - 0.7%
= 1.4% + 3.1% - 0.7%
= 3.8%
The inflation rate is therefore 3.8%

Certain that Al Gore would emerge victorious from the post-election chaos, Melvin's Decorations ordered 50,000 "President Al Gore" medallions from Medallions, Inc. on December 1, 2000 for $5 per medallion. Delivery was to be on January 10, 2001. By that date, the value of the medallions had fallen to $1 per medallion. Melvin's Decorations refused to accept the medallions because it was clear that George Bush would keep the presidency, and Medallions, Inc. sued for Melvin’s breach. What can Medallions recover? (Assume that there was nothing wrong with the medallions and that Melvin's did breach the contract).
A.
Medallions' lost profit on the deal.
B.
The difference between the contract price and the market price.
C.
Either A or B.
D.
Neither A nor B.
Answer:
A. Medallions' lost profit on the deal.
Explanation:
Since Melvin's Decorations breached the contract they had with Medallions, the non breaching party is entitled to sue for compensatory monetary damages. Courts will generally assign compensatory damages that cover the losses incurred due to the contract breach, i.e. the amount of money that medallion would have made as a profit if Melvin's decoration had purchased and paid for the medallions.

What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company
Answer:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
Claim Jumper= $104,000
Makeover= $52,000
Variable cost:
Clain Jumper= $32,200
Makeover= $6,800
First, we need to calculate the participation of the sales for each product:
Claim Jumper= 104,000/156,000= 0.67
Makeover= 52,000/156,000= 0.33
To calculate the weighted average contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average sales - weighted average variable cost)/ weighted average sales
weighted average sales= (0.67*104,000) + (0.33*52,000)
weighted average sales= 86,840
weighted average unitary variable cost= (0.67*32,200) + (0.33*6,800)
weighted average unitary variable cost= 23,818
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (86,840 - 23,818) / 86,840
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726

Shanghai Company sells glasses, fine china, and everyday dinnerware. It uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of the shipping and handling activity. The shipping and handling activity has an activity rate of $12 per pound. A box of glasses weighs 2 pounds, a box of fine china weighs 4 pounds, and a box of everyday dinnerware weighs 6 pounds. a Determine the shipping and handling activity cost to be allocated to each unit of product. Glasses $ Fine China $ Everyday dinnerware $ b Determine the total shipping and receiving costs to be allocated to the fine china if 3,100 boxes are shipped.
Answer:
a) Shipping and handling cost of each product:
Glasses = $ 24, China = $ 48, Everyday dinnerware = $ 72
b) Total shipping and receiving costs of 3,500 boxes of fine China is $148,800
Explanation:
a) Shipping and handling cost of each product:
Glasses = Weighs × Activity rate per lbs = 2 lbs × $ 12 = $ 24
China = Weighs × Activity rate per lbs = 4 lbs × $ 12 = $ 48
Everyday dinnerware = Weighs × Activity rate per lbs = 6 lbs × $ 12 = $ 72
b) Total shipping and receiving costs of 3,100 boxes of fine China
= 3100 boxes × Shipping and receiving cost each product
= 3100 × 48
= $ 148,800
Certain balance sheet accounts of a foreign subsidiary of the Rose Co. had been stated in U.S. dollars as follows: Stated at Current Rates Historical Rates Accounts receivable—current $ 280,000 $ 308,000 Accounts receivable—long term 140,000 154,000 Prepaid insurance 70,000 77,000 Goodwill 112,000 119,000 Totals $ 602,000 $ 658,000 If the subsidiary's local currency is its functional currency, what total amount should be included in Tulip's balance sheet in U.S. dollars? $658,000. $609,000. $616,000. $602,000.
Answer:
$602,000
Explanation:
Since the foreign currency is the functional currency in this case, what is required to be done is the translation of the balance sheet accounts, not a remeasurement of the accounts.
The guiding principle is that when the financial statement of subsidiary is prepared using functional currency, assets and liabilities should be translated using the current rates.
Since $602,000 is the total using the current in the question, the total amount that should be included in Tulip's balance sheet in U.S. dollars is therefore $602,000.
City Foods, is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm just paid a dividend of $2.00 yesterday. They expect to see their dividend grow at a twenty percent rate for the next two years and then level out at a continuous six percent growth rate. City Food's required rate of return is twelve percent. What is the most you would pay for City Foods' common stock now
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $45 per share.
Explanation:
To calculate the current share price or the maximum that should be paid for the stock today, we will use the dividend discount model approach.
The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.
The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
g1 is initial growth rate
g2 is the constant growth rate
r is the required rate of return
So, the price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 2 * (1+0.20) / (1+0.12) + 2 * (1+0.20)^2 / (1+0.12)^2 +
[( 2 * (1+0.20)^2 * (1+0.06)) / (0.12 - 0.06)] / (1+0.12)^2
P0 = $45

The Riteway Ad Agency provides cars for its sales staff. In the past, the company has always purchased its cars from a dealer and then sold the cars after three years of use. The company’s present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives:
Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $27,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole:
Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing $ 4,300
Repairs, first year $ 2,200
Repairs, second year $ 4,700
Repairs, third year $ 6,700
At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.
Lease alternative: The company can lease the cars under a three-year lease contract. The lease cost would be $70,000 per year (the first payment due at the end of Year 1). As part of this lease cost, the owner would provide all servicing and repairs, license the cars, and pay all the taxes. Riteway would be required to make a $15,000 security deposit at the beginning of the lease period, which would be refunded when the cars were returned to the owner at the end of the lease contract.
Riteway Ad Agency’s required rate of return is 20%.
Required:
1. Use the total-cost approach to determine the present value of the cash flows associated with each alternative. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
The present value of purchase is $ 209,907.41
The present value of lease is $ 153,773.15
Find attached spreadsheet.
Explanation:
The present of value of both options need to be calculated in order to determine the viable option:
Present value of purchase=($27,000*10)+($4,300+$2,200)/(1+20%)^1+($4,300+$4,700)/(1+20%)^2+($4,300+$6,700)/(1+20%)^3-($27000*10*0.5)/(1+20%)^3=$209,907.41
Present value of lease option=$15,000+$70,000/(1+20%)^1+$70,000/(1+20%)^2+$70,000/(1+20%)^3-$15,000/(1+20%)^3=$ 153,773.15

a manufacturing firm is considering two locations for a plant to produce a new product. the two locations have fixed and variable costs as folls location FC(ANNUAL) VC(per unit) atlanta $80,000 $20 phoenix $140,000 $16 IF THE ANNUAL DEMAND WILL BE 20,000 units, what would be the cost advantage of the better location? HINT: compare the total costs a 60000 b 20000 c 460000 d 40000
Answer:
b $20,000
Explanation:
For computation of cost advantage first we need to find out the total cost of Atlanta and Phoenix which is shown below:-
Total cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost × Number of units)
For Atlanta
The Total cost = $80,000 + ($20 × 20,000)
= $480,000
For Phoenix
The Total cost = $140,000 + ($16 × 20,000)
= $460,000
According to the above calculation, Phoenix is best location because it has lower total cost.
So
The Cost advantage at Phoenix = Total cost of Atlanta - Total cost of Phoenix
= $480,000 - $460,000
= $20,000
Samantha, who is single and has MAGI of $28,000, was recently employed by an accounting firm. During the year, she spends $2,500 for a CPA exam review course and begins working on a law degree in night school. Her law school expenses were $4,200 for tuition and $450 for books (which are not a requirement for enrollment in the course).
Assuming no reimbursement, how much can Samantha deduct for the:
a. CPA exam review course? $X
b. Law school expenses? $X
Answer:
a. CPA exam review course $0
b. Law school expenses $4,000
Explanation:
1a. CPA exam review course will be $0 because the IRS has disallowed any costs that will lead to qualifying for a different trade .
1b. The Law School expenses will be $4,000 . Based on section 222, Samantha is been limited to $4,000 of the tuition paid.
Therefore the balance of $650 is excess tuition $200 + $450 books which will not qualify under the regular education expense deduction due to the negative position of the IRS on law school costs.
Dragon Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two products, baseball bats and baseball gloves. The fixed costs are $254,800, and the sales mix is 40% bats and 60% gloves. The unit selling price and the unit variable cost for each product are as follows: Products Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Cost Bats $40 $30 Gloves 100 60 a. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the overall enterprise product, E. units b. How many units of each product, baseball bats and baseball gloves, would be sold at the break-even point
Answer:
a)Break-even sales in units= 9,100 units
b)The number of units of each products:
Bat= 3,640 units
Gloves= 5,460 units
Explanation:
The break-even sales in unit = total general fixed cost/Average contribution per unit
Average contribution per unit = (40%× (40-30) )+ (60%×(100-60) )=28
Break-even Sales = $254,800/$28=9100 units
Break-even sales in units= 9,100 units
The number of units of each products:
Bat = 40%×9100 =3,640 units
Gloves = 60%× 9,100 =5,460 units
Bat= 3,640 units
Gloves= 5,460 units

b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers.
c) Focus groups are nonrandom but can probe issues more deeply.
d) Surveys posted on popular websites suffer from selection bias.
Answer:
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers
Explanation:
Coverage error occurs when the target population isn't the population actually sampled.
Coverage error could be undercoverage or over coverage.
undercoverage is when the sampling population doesn't include all of the target population.
Over coverage is when some of the target population is over represented in the sample population.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
b) Coverage error is when respondents give untruthful answers.
Explanation:
Coverage error is a form of bias in experiments, where the selected sample does not match with the population for whom the experiment is actually meant for. This problem could arise as a result of undercoverage or overcoverage of samples.
Undercoverage is a situation wherein the members of the earmarked population are not included in the sample. Overcoverage occurs when samples that are not from the intended population, are included in error or even included more than once.
