Hexon Printing Company projected the following information for next year: Selling price per unit $80 Contribution margin per unit $40 Total fixed costs $120,000 Tax rate 40% How many units must be sold to obtain an after-tax profit of $60,000

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 5,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $80

Contribution margin per unit $40

Total fixed costs $120,000

Tax rate 40%

Desired profit= $60,000

First, we need to calculate the earnings before tax:

EBT= desired profit / (1 - t)

EBT= 60,000 / (1 - 0.4)

EBT= $100,000

Now, the break-even point in units using the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + EBT)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 100,000) / (80 - 40)

Break-even point in units= 5,500

The records of the Dodge Corporation show the following results for the most recent year:

Sales (16,000 units) $256,000
Variable expenses $160,000
Net operating income $32,000

Given the provided data, identify the contribution margin.

Answers

Answer:

unitary contribution margin= $6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (16,000 units) $256,000

Variable expenses $160,000

First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:

Selling price= 256,000 / 16,000= $16

Unitary variable cost= 160,000 / 16,000= $10

Now, the unitary contribution margin:

unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

unitary contribution margin= 16 - 10

unitary contribution margin= $6

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.65 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent per year, indefinitely. Investors require a return of 12 percent on the stock. a. What is the current price

Answers

Answer:

$24.7

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate D1

1.65(1+5/100)

1.65(1+0.05)

1.65(1.05)

=>1.73

Therefore the current price can be calculated as follows

= D1/required rate-growth rate

= 1.73/0.12-0.05

= 1.73/0.07

= 24.7

Hence the current price is $24.7

The Doodad Company purchases a machine for $400,000. The machine has an estimated residual value of $20,000. The company expects the machine to produce two million units. The machine is used to make 400,000 units during the current period. Use the information above to answer the following question. If the units-of-production method is used, the depreciation expense for this period is: A. $80,000. B. $400,000. C. $380,000. D. $76,000.

Answers

Answer: $76,000

Explanation:

Depreciation per unit = (Cost - Residual value) / Number of units expected to be produced

= (400,000 - 20,000) / 2,000,000

= $0.19 per unit

40,000 units were used this period so the depreciation is:

= 400,000 * 0.19

= $76,000

A steam boiler is needed as part of the design of a new plant. The boiler can be fired by natural gas, fuel oil, or coal. A cost analysis shows that natural gas would be the cheapest at $30,000; for fuel oil it would be $55,000; and for coal it would be $180,000. If natural gas is used rather than fuel oil, the annual fuel cost will decrease by $7,500. If coal is used rather than fuel oil, the annual fuel cost will be $15,000 per year less. Assuming 8% interest, a 20-year analysis period, and no salvage value, which is the most economincal installation?

Answers

Answer:

Natural gas boiler

Explanation:

Alternative                 Installation cost                  Annual savings

natural gas                 $30,000                              $7,500

fuel oil                        $55,000                               not given

coal                            $180,000                             $15,000

we need to find the PV of natural gas savings = $7,500 * 9.8181 (PVIFA, 8%, 20 periods) = $73,638

the PV of coal savings = $15,000 - 9.8181 (PVIFA, 8%, 20 periods) = $147,272

NPV of natural gas boiler = $73,638 - $30,000 = $43,638

NPV of coal boiler = $147,272 - $180,000 = -$32,728

What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What is the amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date?

Answers

Answer:

1.

549,862.5

2.

$331,637.5

3.

$16,581.87

Explanation:

1.

Cash proceeds = Par Value of the bond x Price ratio to par value

Cash proceeds = $430,000 x 127.875%

Cash proceeds = $549,862.5

2.

Bond Interest expense = Total Coupon payment - Premium on bond

Bond Interest expense = ( $430,000 x 10.50% x 10 ) - ( $549,862.5 - $430,000 )

Bond Interest expense = $451,500 - $119,862.5

Bond Interest expense = $331,637.5

3.

Bond Interest expense = Coupon Payment - Premium on Bond amortization

Bond Interest expense = ( $430,000 x 10.5% x 6/12 ) - ( ( $549,862.5 - $430,000 ) / ( 10 x 2 ) )

Bond Interest expense = $22,575 - $5,993.13

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Planned sales unit for the next year = 16,000

Sales price per unit = $320

Product costs:

Direct materials      $68

Direct labor             $40

Variable overhead  $12

Total fixed factory overhead $500,000

Variable selling expense = $16 ($320 * 5%)

Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $116,400

Total variable costs per unit = $136

Contribution margin per unit = $184 ($320 - $136)

Total fixed costs = $616,400 ($500,000 + $116,400)

To break-even, units to sell = $616,400/$184 = 3,350 units

Units to sell to achieve a profit target of $333,408:

= $616,400+ $333,408/$184

Answer: Decrease government revenue and decrease deadweight loss from the tax.

Explanation:

Decrease gov rev and decrease deadweight loss from the tax.

At AB, the government revenue will be:

= Quantity × Tax rate

= 1 × 5

= 5

The deadweight loss will be:

Deadweight Loss= 0.5 × Change in quantity × Change in Price

= 0.5 × (9-4) × (2-1)

= 0.5 × 5 × 1

= 2.5

At CD,

the government revenue will be:

= 1.5 × 2.5

= 3.75

The deadweight loss will be:

= 0.5 × (7.5-5) × (2-1.5)

= 0.5 × 2.5 × 0.5

= 0.625

Based on the calculation above, both the government revenue and the deadweight loss decreases.

Gillian reprimands an employee in front of his peers for speaking out of turn during a sales meeting. Which of the following types of reinforcement does this scenario demonstrate?

a. Extinction
b. Negative reinforcement
c. Positive reinforcement
d. Positive punishment

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: Negative reinforcement.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the field of behavioral psychology and business management the concept known as "Reinforcement" refers to the action or process of changing or keeping someone's behavior by the action of having an specific reaction that will be negative or positive accepted by the individual whose behavior we are looking to change or maintain. Therefore that the reinforcement is followed by a particular stimulus that the individual normally has when making the action that we want to change or keep.

The negative reinforcement refers to the process of producing a consequence with the purpose of avoiding or trying to stop certain stimulus so that the individual will stop that behavior in order to avoid the consequence.

The selling price per composite unit for the current sales mix (rounded to the nearest cent) is:

Answers

Answer:

Selling price per composite unit= $11.3

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Madison Corporation sells three products (M, N, and O) in the following mix: 3:1:2.

Unit price and cost data are: M N OUnit sales price$12 $10 $11

First, we need to calculate the sales proportion for each product:

M= 3/6= 0.5

N= 1/6= 0.17

O= 2/6= 0.33

Now, the selling price per composite unit:

Selling price per composite unit= (0.5*12) + (0.17*10) + (0.33*11)

Selling price per composite unit= $11.3

What is the direct labor (a) rate variance, (b) time variance, and (c) cost variance? Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
a. Direct labor rate variance $ Favorable
b. Direct labor time variance $ Unfavorable
c. Direct labor cost variance $ Favorable

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (22 - 19.85)*61,900

Direct labor rate variance= $133,085

Now, the direct labor time (efficiency variance):

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (45,000 - 61,900)*22

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $371,800 unfavorable

Standard quantity= 15,000*3= 45,000

Finally, the total direct labor cost variance:

Total direct labor cost variance= Direct labor rate variance - Direct labor time (efficiency) variance

Total direct labor cost variance= 133,085 - 371,800

Total direct labor cost variance= $238,715 unfavorable

The following information relating to a company's overhead costs is available.
Actual total variable overhead$73,000
Actual total fixed overhead$17,000
Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour$2.50
Budgeted total fixed overhead$15,000
Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output 30,000
Based on this information, the total variable overhead variance is:_______.

Answers

Answer: $2,000 favorable

Explanation:

Total variable overhead variance = Budgeted variable overhead - Actual total variable overhead

Budgeted variable overhead = Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output * Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour

= 30,000 * 2.50

= $75,000

Total variable overhead variance = 75,000 - 73,000

= $2,000 favorable

Favorable because the actual amount was less than the budgeted one.

Motors are assembled in a process with two resources. The first resource has a capacity of 2 motors per hour. The capacity of the second resource is 4.5 motors per hour. Demand for this process is 2.3 motors per hour.
Instruction: Round your answer to three decimal places.
What is the cycle time of this process (in minutes)? _______minutes

Answers

Answer: 26.1 minutes

Explanation:

The cycle time is calculated by the formula:

= Production time available / Desired output

Production time available = 1 hour as production is per hour.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Desired output is the demand per hour from the process

Cycle time = 60 / 2.3

= 26.1 minutes

There is often litter along highways but rarely in people's yards. Which of the following statements help explain this observation?
a. No one cares if there is litter on the highway
b. When a person litters along a highway, others bear the negative externality of having to clean it up.
c. Littering in your own yard imposes costs to you, so you are less likely to do it.

Answers

Answer:

b

c

Explanation:

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.

Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible

Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low

Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.

An asset is purchased on January 1 for $44,700. It is expected to have a useful life of five years after which it will have an expected residual value of $6,000. The company uses the straight-line method. If it is sold for $32,000 exactly two years after it is purchased, the company will record a: Multiple Choice

Answers

Answer:

Gain of $2,780

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The company will record If it is sold for $32,000 exactly two years after it is purchased

First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation expense using this formula

Annual depreciation expense = (Cost − Residual value) × (1 ÷ Useful life)

Let plug in the formula

Annual depreciation expense = ($44,700 − $6,000) × (1 ÷ 5)

Annual depreciation expense =$38,700× (1 ÷ 5)

Annual depreciation expense =$ 7,740

Second step is to calculate the Accumulated depreciation using this formula

Accumulated depreciation = Year 1 depreciation expense + Year 2 depreciation expense

Let plug in the formula

Accumulated depreciation = $7,740 +$7,740

Accumulated depreciation = $15,480

Now let calculate the Gain (loss) on disposal

Using this formula

Gain (loss) on disposal = Proceeds from sale − (Cost − Accumulated Depreciation at time of sale)

Let plug in the formula

Gain (loss) on disposal = $32,000 − ($44,700 − $15,480)

Gain (loss) on disposal =$32,000-$29,220

Gain (loss) on disposal=$2,780

Therefore If it is sold for $32,000 exactly two years after it is purchased, the company will record a GAIN of $2,780
