Answer:
In the U.S, Fridays that are on the eve of three-day weekends tend to be especially good. Due to generally positive feelings prior to a long holiday weekend, the stock markets tend to rise ahead of these observed holidays.
Explanation:
“Friday is the best day to sell” is already marginalised in the Investopedia article dedicated to it[1] .
The assumption “if everyone is selling” cannot be true, when there are only people willing to sell there is no trade, and with that no price.
It same assumption also includes a notion that there are fewer parties that are willing to hold over the weekend than there are willing to sell. In other words: it implies there are more short term traders than long term traders and (buy and hold) investors.
In Washburn's factory, what is the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is (a) $349, (b) $389, and (c) $309? Also, (d) if Washburn achieves the sales target of 2,000 units at the $349 retail price, what will its profit be?
Answer:
a. 186 units
b. 156 units
c. 232 units
d. $370,000
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $349
Using this formula
Break-even point quantity = Fixed cost / Unit price – Unit variable cost
Let plug in the formula
Break-even point quantity = ($14,000 + $4,000 + $20,000) / $349 – ($25 + $120)
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $349 - $145
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $204
Break-even point quantity= 186.27
Break-even point quantity= 186 units
Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $349 will be 186 units
b. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $389
Break-even point quantity = ($14,000 + $4,000 + $20,000) / $389 – ($25 + $120)
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $389 - $145
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $244= 155.74
Break-even point quantity = 156 units (Approximately)
Therefore Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $389 will be 156 units
c. Calculation to determine the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $309
Break-even point quantity=($14,000+$4,000+$20,000)/$309 – ($25 + $120)
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $309 - $145
Break-even point quantity= $38,000 / $164
Break-even point quantity= 231.71
Break-even point quantity = 232 units (Approximately)
Therefore the break-even point for the new line of guitars if the retail price is $309 will be 232 units
d. Calculation to determine what will its profit be
if Washburn achieves the sales target of 2,000 units at the $349 retail price
Using this formula
Profit = Total revenue – Total cost
Profit= (P x Q) – [FC + (UVC x Q)]
Let plug in the formula
Profit= ($349 x 2000) – [$38,000 + ($145 x 2,000)]
Profit= $698,000 – $328,000
Profit= $370,000
Therefore the profit will be $370,000
Bluegill Company sells 14,000 units at $240 per unit. Fixed costs are $168,000, and operating income is $1,176,000. Determine the following:
a. Variable cost per unit.
b. Unit contribution margin.
c. Contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
a. Variable cost per unit:
= (Sales - Fixed costs - Operating income) / number of units sold
= ((14,000 units * 240) - 168,000 - 1,176,000) / 14,000
= 2,016,000 / 14,000
= $144 per unit
b. Unit contribution margin:
= Selling price - Variable cost per unit
= 240 - 144
= $96
c. Contribution margin ratio:
= Unit contribution margin / Selling price
= 96 / 240
= 40%

Answer:
gain surplus from paying a lower price
Explanation:
An effective price ceiling will cause consumers to "gain surplus from paying a lower price."
This is based on the idea that an effective price ceiling usually leads to prices being below the equilibrium price or equates to a lower price.
At this point, the buyers demand more of the products, while the sellers have a lower incentive to produce more. And therefore, the quantity demanded will exceed the quantity supplied.
Hence, consumers gain excess (more demands) by paying a lower price.

Answer: Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question
answer:
a) Cs = 800,000 , Ps = 1,500,000
b) Cs = 1437500, Ps = 525,000
Explanation:
Demand function ( Qd ) = 200,000 - 4000 P
supply function ( Qs ) = 20,000 + 2000 P
at equilibrium : 200,000 - 4000P = 20,000 + 2000P
therefore ; P = 180,000 / 6000 = 30
Q = 20,000 + 2000 ( 30 ) = 80,000
a) Determine consumer and producer surplus in the market
consumer surplus ( Cs ) This is the area above the price and below the demand curve = 1/2 * ( 50 - 30 ) 80,000 = 800,000
producer surplus ( Ps ) This is the area above supply and below price
= 30 * ( 80,000 ) - 1/2 (80,000 - 20,000 ) (30)
= 1,500,000
b) Determine the new levels of consumer and producer surplus with a price ceiling of $15
Pc (ceiling price ) = $15
Qd = 200,000 - 4000 ( 15 ) = 140,000
Qs = 20,000 + 2000 ( 15 ) = 50,000
∴ New consumer surplus = area ( a , Pc, b, d )
= ( 30 - 15 ) (50,000) + 1/2(50-30) (80,000) - 1/2 (80,000 - 50,000 ) (37.5 - 30)
= 1437500
New producer surplus = area ( Pc , b, e 0 )
= ( 15 ) ( 50000) - 1/2 ( 50,000 - 20,000 ) (15)
= 525,000
The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $19,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $626,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $436,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%. Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
What is the Year-0 net cash flow?
Answer:
$1,117,500
Explanation:
The net cash flow required immediately( year zero) to get the project underway comprises the sprayer's base price, its installation cost as well as the net working capital of $18,500.
The above-highlighted items are the ones cash outflows required in year zero while other ones are cash inflows or outflows required subsequently.
The net cash flow in year zero is computed thus:
Year-0 net cash flow=$1,080,000+$19,000+ $18,500
Year-0 net cash flow=$1,117,500
The Cullumber Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $65 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,000 per month
Utilities $1,000 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $1,508 per month
Maid service $13 per room
Other costs $26 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
a. Breakeven point in number of rented rooms:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Fixed cost = Salaries per month + Utilities + Depreciation + Maintenance
= 7,000 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 1,508
= $10,608
Contribution margin:
= Rent price - Maid service - Other costs
= 65 - 13 - 26
= $26
Breakeven point in rented rooms:
= 10,608 / 26
= 408 rooms
b. Breakeven point in dollars:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
= 10,608 / (26 / 65)
= 10,608 / 40%
= $26,520

Feed (100,000 × 0.7)=70,000
Flour (50,000 × 2.2)=110,000
Starch (20,000 × 1)=20,000
Total 200,000
Now allocation to the flour is
= (110,000 ÷ 200,000 × 120,000)
= $66,000
hence, the option c is correct
XZYY, Inc. currently has an issue of bonds outstanding that will mature in 16 years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a stated annual coupon rate of 13.0% with annual coupon payments. The bond is currently selling for $1,176. The bonds may be called in 3 years for 113.0% of the par value. What is your expected quoted annual rate of return if you buy the bonds and hold them until maturity
Answer: 10.66%
Explanation:
The expected quoted annual rate of return when the bonds are bought and being held until maturity will be calculated thus:
Coupon payment = 1000 × 13% = 130
The Yield to Maturity formula will be:
= Rate(maturity period, coupon payment, -price, fave value)
= Rate(16, 130, -1176, 1000)
Yield to Maturity = 10.66%
Therefore, the expected quoted annual rate of return is 10.66%.

Your aunt has promised to give you $5,000 when you graduate from college. You expect to graduate three years from now. If you speed up your plans to enable you to graduate two years from now, the present value of the promised gift will: Multiple Choice be less than $5,000. remain constant. decrease. Incorrect equal $5,000. increase
Answer:
The present value of the promised gift will:
be less than $5,000.
Explanation:
The present value of $5,000 to be received in three years' time from today is less than $5,000 received. This is explained by the time value of money concept. If the $5,000 gift is discounted to today's value, using a discount factor of 0.751 (10% in three years' time), it would be $3,755 ($5,000 * 0.751). This means that $5,000 received in year 3 is less than $5,000 received today.
The present value of the promised gift will be less than $5,000 If a person speeds up his/her plans to enable to graduate two years from now, by applying the concept of the time value of money.
What is the time value of money?The time value of money is a fundamental concept of finance. This concept maintains that money or cash in the present is worth more than the identical sum of money to be accepted in the future.
In the above case, The present value of $5,000 to be received in the period of three years from today would be less than $5,000 received.
In the above case, the concept of the time value of money is applied. It means that if the $5,000 gift is discounted to today's value, using a discount factor of 0.751 (10% in three years' time), it would be:
[tex]=\$5,000 \times 0.751\\= \$3,755[/tex]
This means that $5,000 received in year 3 is less than $5,000 received today.

10 years with a stated interest rate of 11% and a face value of $500,000. Interest payments are made semi-annually. The market rate for this type of bond is 12%. Using present value tables, calculate the issue price of the bonds
Answer:= $471,325
Explanation:
Price of a bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value at maturity
Coupon payments = 500,000 * 11% * 1/2 years = $27,500
Periodic yield = 12%/ 2 = 6% per semi annual period
Periods = 10 * 2 = 20 semi annual periods
Coupon payment is constant so it is an annuity.
Price of bond = Present value of annuity + Present value of face value at maturity
= (Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity, 6%, 20 years) + Face value / (1 + rate) ^ number of periods
= (27,500 * 11.4699) + 500,000 / (1 + 6%)²⁰
= $471,325
