Dividends                                         ($12,000)

Retained earnings, Nov. 30, 2017 $35,100

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%.

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.

• 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?

Answers

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])

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?

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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

The Digby company will sell 100 units (x1000) of capacity from their Daft product line. Each unit of capacity is worth $6 plus $4 per automation rating. The Digby company will sell the capacity for 35% off. How much do they receive when the capacity is sold

Answers

Answer: $2,210,000

Explanation:

The company will sell at full cost per Automation rating which is not provided.

The Comp-XM Inquirer shows this Automation rating to be 7.

The Total Cost per Automation rating is,

= $6 + ($4 * 7)

= $34

Selling 100,000 units gives

= 100,000 * 34

= $3,400,000

Selling at 35% off.

= 3,400,000 * ( 1 - 0.35)

= $2,210,000

The annual fixed costs for a plant are $100,000, and the variable costs are $140,000 at 70% utilization of available capacity, with net sales of $280,000. What is the breakeven point in units of production if the selling price per unit is $40

Answers

Answer:

With the production 5000 units the plant will achieve it's break even point

Explanation:

Solution

The break even points is the point in a business when the total revenue is exactly the same to the equal expenditure.

The formula is given below:

D' = Cy/(p-cy)

Here

D' =the demand at break even point

p = the selling price

cy= the variable costs per unit

Cy = the total fixed cost

Thus

The total cost of the plant = $100,000

The variable costs = $140,000

The net sales = $280,000

The selling price per unit = $40

The total no units sold per year is given as :

Annual sale (units) = Total sales/Sale per unit

Now,

By the method of substitution we have the following.

Annual sale (units)  = $280,000/40

=7000 units/year

The formula for  variable cost  per unit cy is

cy = Cy/Annual sale (units)

Now,

We substitute in the above equation the value of Cy as $140,000 and annual sale as 7000 units/per year

cy = $140,000/7000

=$20 units

For the demand at break even point D', we have the following:

D' = Cy/(p-cy)

Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency.

Answers

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

(Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)

Answers

Answer:

Net cash from operating activities are $2,250 for Case A and $3,820 for Case B.

Explanation:

The indirect method of presenting the cash flow statement is a method that starts with net income or loss, and then with additions to or subtractions from of revenue and expense items that are non cash to obtain cash flow from operating activities.

For this question, this can be presented as follows:

Details                                                    Case A ($)          Case B ($)

Net Income                                                    1,500                2,500

Adjustments:

Depreciation Expense                                  1,000                 1,500

Changes in Operating assets & liab.:

(Increase) Decrease in Acct receivables       100                 –150

Decrease (Increase) in Inventory                 –250                    70

Increase (Decrease) in Accounts payable      100                 –50

Increase (Decrease) in Sal. & Wag. Paybl.   –200                 –50  

Net cash from operating activities            2,250               3,820

The Net cash-flow from the operating activities for Case A is $2,250.

The Net cash-flow from the operating activities for Case B is $3,820.

Here, we are preparing the  "Year 2" operating activities section of the cash flows statement using the indirect method

                 Statememt of Cash flow (Operating activities)

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.

Answers

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

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.

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.

Answers

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.

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:

Answers

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

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods manufactured is $323,500

Cost of goods sold is $337,900

Explanation:

Given:

Materials used in product = $120,000

Advertising expense = $45,000

Depreciation on plant = $60,000

Property taxes on plant = $14,000

Property taxes on store = $7,500

Delivery expense = $21,000

Labor costs of assembly-line workers = $110,000

Sales commissions = $35,000

Factory supplies used = $23,000

Salaries paid to sales clerks = $50,000

Work in process inventory was $12,000 at January 1 and $15,500 at December 31.

Finished goods inventory was $60,000 at January 1 and $45,600 at December 31.

(a) Cost of goods manufactured = Materials used in product + Depreciation on plant + Labor costs of assembly-line workers + Property taxes on plant +  Factory supplies used + Beginning work in process - ending work in process

= $120,000 + $60,000 + $110,000 + $14,000 + $23,000 + $12,000 - $15,500

= $323,500

(b) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + opening finished goods inventory - Closing finished goods inventory

= $323,500 + $60,000 - $45,600

= $337,900

Based on the given information,

The cost of goods manufactured is $323,500

cost of goods sold  $337,900

Calculations are as follows

(a) Cost of goods manufactured =Depreciation on plant +  Materials used in product +Property taxes on plant +   Labor costs of assembly-line workers + Factory supplies used + Beginning work in process - ending work in process

= $120,000 + $60,000 + $110,000 + $14,000 + $23,000 + $12,000 - $15,500

(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!

Answers

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.

Answers

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

Total Interest = $186,511.57

Thus, the couple would pay $1,073.64 monthly for 30 years in order to pay off the mortgage of $200,000 at 5% interest.
