10 30 160 190 360
Instructions: Enter all values as whole numbers. If any values are negative, please enter them with a (-) sign.
a) At a price $55, the firm would produce ____ units of output. At a price of $120, the firm would produce ____ units of output. At a price of $200, the firm would produce ____ units of output.
b) The per-unit economic profit (or loss) is calculated by subtracting at a particular level of output from the product price. This per-unit economic profit is then multiplied by the number of units of ___ to determine the economic profit for the competitive firm.
i) At the product price of $200, the average total costs are $____, so per-unit economic profit is
$____. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic
profit of $____.
ii) At the product price of $120, the average total costs are $____, so per-unit economic losses are $____. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic loss of $____.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) At a price $55, the firm would produce 3 units of output.

At a price of $120, the firm would produce 6 units of output.

At a price of $200, the firm would produce 7 units of output.

The rule is Price = Marginal Cost for a competitive firm

b) The per-unit economic profit (or loss) is calculated by subtracting ATC at a particular level of output from the product price. This per-unit economic profit is then multiplied by the number of units of output to determine the economic profit for the competitive firm.

i) At the product price of $200, the average total costs are $146 , so per-unit economic profit is $54 . Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic profit of $378 .

Explanation:

At P = 200, output produced is 7 units

ATC is $146

Per-unit economic profit = 200 - 146 = $54

Hence, Total economic profit = $54 x 7 = $378

ii) At the product price of $120, the average total costs are $140 , so per-unit economic losses are $ -20. Multiplying this amount by the number of units of output results in an economic loss of $-100.

Explanation: At P = 20, output produced will be 5 units. 6th unit will not be produced as it will result in even greater loss.

Total loss = ($140 - $120) x 5 = $100

A company purchased 400 units at $75 per unit. The company sold 385 units. what is the cost of goods sold and ending inventory

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold $28,875

Ending inventory $1,125

Explanation:

Calculation for cost of goods sold and ending inventory

Cost of goods sold is calculated using this formula

Cost of goods sold=Sales units *Purchased per units

Let plug in the formula

Cost of goods sold=385 units *$75 per unit

Cost of goods sold=$28,875

Calculation for the ending inventory using this formula

Ending inventory=(Purchased units * purchased per unit) -Cost of goods sold

Let plug in the formula

Ending inventory=(400 units× 75 per unit) -$28,875

Ending inventory=$30,000-$28,875

Ending inventory=$1,125

Therefore the Cost of goods sold will be $28,875 while the Ending inventory will be $1,125

c. What is the optimal number of orders per year?
d. What is the optimal number of days in between any two orders?
e. What is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory?
f. What is the total annual inventory cost, including cost of the 6,000 units?

Answers

Answer: Please find answers below

Explanation:

(a) Economic order quantity EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{2 X Annual Demand X Ordering Cost) / Carrying Cost)}[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 5,900 X 29 / 9 }[/tex]     = [tex]\sqrt{38,022.222}[/tex]

= 194.99 units  

(b) Average number of units = Economic order quantity / 2

= 194.99 / 2  

= 97.496 units    

(c) Optimal number of orders = Annual Demand / Economic order quantity

= 5,900units / 194.99 units  =30.26  

(d) Optimal number of days between two orders = Number of working days / Optimal number of orders

= 250 days / 30.26  

= 8.26  

Total ordering cost = Cost per order X Number of orders

= $29 X 30.26  

= $ 877.54

Total holding cost = Average inventory X carrying cost per unit

= 194.99 /2  X $9  

= $877.455

(e) Annual cost of ordering and holding inventorY =Total ordering cost + Total carrying cost

= $ 877.54  + $877.455

= $ 1,754.995  ≈ $1,755  

 

 

(f) Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 5900 units at $102 per unit    

= $ 877.54  + $877.455  + (5,900 x 102) = $1754.995 +601,800= $603,554.995≈$603,555

Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 6000 units at $102 per unit    

= $ 877.54  + $877.455  + (6000 x 102) = $1754.995 +612,000= $613,754.995≈$613,755

Answers

Answer:

D. is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions.

Explanation:

A think global act local is a strategic business approach or concept which is aimed at achieving a low cost, effective cost, efficiency and focused strategy theme in all the locations where the firm has its operations but nonetheless avails local managers the opportunity and ability to adjust product

specifications, distribution and marketing channels to better satisfy local consumers, as well as effectively and efficiently match local market conditions.

Hence, the competitive strategy of a firm pursuing a "think global, act local" approach to strategy-making is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions.

Answers

Answer:

$210,000

Explanation:

The computation of the external price is shown below

Making cost =  buying  cost

$120,000 + $25,000 + $45,000 + $30,000) = external price + Unavoidable fixed cost (30,000-20,000)

D. debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000 and credit Equipment for $66, 000

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the equipment on the date of sale.

Net Book Value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Net Book value = 72000 - 66000   = $6000

The gain/(loss) on disposal = Sales Proceeds - Net Book value

The gain/(loss) on disposal = 10000 - 6000 = $4000 Gain

The entry to record this transaction will be,

A project has an initial cost of $60,000, expected net cash inflows of $14,000 per year for 7 years, and a cost of capital of 13%. What is the project's discounted payback period

Answers

Answer:

Discounted payback period = 6.68 years

Explanation:

Year Cash inflow$   Discounted cash     Cumulative discounted

                                          inflow$                      cash inflow$

1          14,000                    12,389                            12,389

2         14,000                    10,964                             23,353

3         14,000                     9,703                              33,056  

4         14,000                     8,586                              41,643    

5         14,000                     7,599                              49,241    

6         14,000                      6,724                             55,966    

7         14,000                      5,951                              61,917

Discounted cash inflow is calculated by discounting cash inflow at 13%. For example, discounted cash-flow in year 1 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^1 = 12,389.

Similarly, discounted cash-flow in year 2 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^2 = 10,964. And so on.

Cumulative cash-flows are sum of all cashflows till that year. For example, year 2 cumulative cashflow = 12,389 + 10,964 = 23,353.

Similarly, year 3 cumulative cash-flow = 23,353 + 9,703 = 33,056.

This cumulative cash-flow crosses 60,000 in year 7, so discounted payback period = 6 + (60,000-55,966) / 5,951

Discounted payback period = 6.68 years

General Electric (GE) has earnings per share of $2.98 and dividends per share of $0.35. Its return on assets (ROA) is 14.6% and its return on equity (ROE) is 18.2%. What is its sustainable rate of growth?

Answers

Answer:

g = 0.1606 or 16.06%

Explanation:

The sustainable growth rate is the growth rate in earning or dividends of a stock that will remain constant in the long run. Such a rate is calculate for an indefinite period of time. The formula to calculate the sustainable growth rate is,

g = RR * ROE

Where,

RR is the retention ratio or (1 - dividend payout ratio)ROE is the return on equity

The dividend per share as a percentage of earnings per share will give us the dividend payout ratio.

Dividend payout ratio = 0.35 / 2.98 = 0.1174 or 11.74%

g = (1 - 11.74%) * 18.2%

g = 0.1606 or 16.06%

Answers

Answer:

Jacob purchased 10000 shares form Grebe corporation two years ago for $24000

last year Jacob received a non taxable stock dividend of 2000 shares from Grebe corporation

In the current year tax year Jacob sold all stock received as dividend that's 2000 shares for $18000

The gain of the sale of 2000 shares can be calculated by subtracting the basis in the shares from the cost price. the cost of shares = ( $24000 / 12000 ) = $2 per share

profit made from the sales of 2000 shares is calculated as follows ; selling price ( $18000 ) - cost price of 2000 shares ( $2 * 2000) , the profit is $14000 and it is in the long term because the original shares bought has been held for at least 1 year

The accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after the write-off entry was

Answers

Answer:

The accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after the write-off entry is $378,500

Explanation:

Allowance for bad debt = $34,500

Bad debt written off = $31,400

Credit balance in allowance for bad debts = Allowance for bad debt - Bad debt written off

= $34,500 - $31,400

= $3,100

The balance in receivables account = ($413,000 - $31,400) - ($34,500 - $31,400)

= $381,600 - $3,100

= $378,500

Tom Company reports the following data.

Sales $385,187
Variable costs 200,887
Fixed costs 87,300

Required:
Determine Tom Company's operating leverage. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer: 1.9

Explanation:

The Operating Leverage is calculated by;

Operating leverage = Contribution margin / Operating income

Contribution Margin

= Sales - Variable Costs

= 385,187 - 200,887

= $184,300‬

Operating Income

= Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs

= 184,300 - 87,300

= $97,000

Operating Leverage = 184,300‬/ 97,000

= 1.9

Central Systems desires a weighted average cost of capital of 12.7 percent. The firm has an aftertax cost of debt of 4.8 percent and a cost of equity of 15.4 percent. What debt-equity ratio is needed for the firm to achieve its targeted weighted average cost of capital?

a. 0.37
b. 0.44
c. 0.42
d. 0.56
e. 0.34

Answers

Answer:

e. 0.34

Explanation:

Let debt be $D

Equity be $E

Total=(D+E)

WACC = Respective cost * Respective weight

12.7 = {(D*4.8)/(D+E)} + {(15.4*E)/(D+E)}

12.7*(D+E)=4.8D+15.4E

12.7D+12.7E=4.8D+15.4E

D=(15.4-12.7)E /(12.7-4.8)

D = 2.7E / 7.9

D = 0.0341772

D = 0.34 E

Hence, debt-equity ratio=debt/equity  

=0.34
