Answer:
If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be?
24.23%What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units?
$45,613.84The degree of operating leverage (at 46,000 units)?
4.84Explanation:
degree of operating leverage = [quantity x (price - variable costs)] / {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs}
degree of operating leverage x {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs} = [quantity x (price - variable costs)]
3.21 x {[53000 x (contribution margin)] - fixed costs} = [53000 x (contribution margin)]
(3.21 x 53000 x contribution margin) - (3.21 x 175000) = 53000 x contribution margin
let C = contribution margin
170130C - 561750 = 53000C
117130C = 561750
C = 561750 / 117130 = 4.795953
operating cash flow (at 53,000) = (53,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $79,185.52
operating cash flow (at 57,000) = (57,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $98,369.32
% change = ($98,369.32 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = 24.23%
operating cash flow (at 46,000) = (46,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $45,613.84
% change in operating cash flows = ($45,613.84 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = -43.4%
% change in sales = (46,000 - 53,000) / 53,000 = -13.21
degree of operating leverage = $220,613.84 / $45,613.74 = 4.84
"DEF Corporation, after many profitable years, declares a one-time special cash dividend of $5.00 per share. After the announcement, the stock is trading at $50 per share. Your customer holds 1 DEF Jan 55 Call. As of the ex date, the customer will have:"
Answer: B. 1 DEF Jan 50 Call
Explanation:
The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) acting under its mandate of being an issuer and guarantor for options and futures contracts can alter options prices but does not do so for prices based on normal dividends as they are more regular and their effects are already accounted for in the price of the call.
When a company calls a one-time special cash dividend, this is new to the market which would not have incorporated it into the price of the call. The OCC will then adjust the price to account for this.
In this case it will do so by subtracting the dividend from the call;
= 55 - 5
= $50
The customer will then have 1 DEF Jan 50 Call .

Drake Manufacturing makes a variety of products, including lawn mowers. 's Lawn Mower Division can use a component, K32, manufactured by 's Electrical Division. The market price for K32 is per unit. The variable cost per unit for K32 in the Electrical Division is $11, while the absorption cost per unit is $12. The divisions at use a negotiated price strategy to set transfer prices between divisions. The Electrical Division has excess capacity. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price to the Electrical Division? What is the highest acceptable transfer price that the Lawn Mower Division would pay?
1. ______the lowest acceptable transfer price to the Electrical Division.
a. $14, the difference between the variable cost and market price.
b. $11, the variable cost.
c. $12, the absorption cost.
d. $25, the market price.
2. ______is the highest acceptable transfer price that the Lawn Mower Division would pay.
a. $14, the difference between the variable cost and market price.b. $11, the variable cost. c. $12, the absorption cost.d. $25, the market price.
Answer:
b. $11, the variable cost.d. $25, the market price.Explanation:
1. The Electrical Division has excess capacity so supplying the Lawn Mower Division can be done and they will still be able to sell to outside customers. They should therefore only charge the variable cost to make component K32 which is $11 as they are in the same company.
2. The highest acceptable transfer price that the Lawn Mower division would pay is the market price of $25. At a price higher than this, it would make no sense to source the component from the Electrical division because the Lawn Mower division could simply source it from the market and save on costs.
A company purchased 400 units at $75 per unit. The company sold 385 units. what is the cost of goods sold and ending inventory
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

Rollins Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20% debt, 20% preferred stock, and 60% common equity. Its bonds have a 7.5% coupon, paid semi-annually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for $1,105.78. The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock which pays a 8% annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Rollins' beta is 1.8, the risk-free rate is 2.45%, and the market risk premium is 5%. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
A. What is the companyâs cost of preferred equity?
B. What is the companyâs cost of common equity?
C. What is the companyâs WACC?
Answer:
A. What is the company's cost of preferred equity?
8.42%B. What is the company's cost of common equity?
11.45%C. What is the company's WACC?
9.31%Explanation:
20% debt ⇒ after tax cost of debt 3.76%
20% preferred stock ⇒ 8.42%
60% common equity ⇒ 11.45%
in order to determine the after tax cost of debt we must first determine the yield to maturity of debt:
approximate YTM = {37.5 +[(1,000 - 1,150.78)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,150.78)/2] = 33.7305 / 1,075.39 = 3.3166% x 2 = 6.2732%
after tax cost of debt = 6.2732% x 0.6 = 3.76%
cost of preferred stocks = 8 / (100 x 0.95) = 8 / 95 = 8.42%
cost of equity (Re) = 2.45% + (1.8 x 5%) = 2.45% + 9% = 11.45%
WACC = (60% x 11.45%) + (20% x 8.42%) + (20% x 3.76%) = 6.87% + 1.684% + 0.752% = 9.306% = 9.31%
Kaskin, Inc., stock has a beta of 1.2 and Quinn, Inc., stock has a beta of 0.6. Which of the following statements is most accurate? The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn. The stock of Kaskin has more total risk than Quinn. The stock of Quinn has more systematic risk than that of Kaskin.
Answer:
The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn.
Explanation:
Option A “The equilibrium expected rate of return is higher for Kaskin than for Quinn” is more accurate because the expected return is calculated by multiplying the risk premium with beta value and then adding with risk-free return. However, if the beta value is high, then the magnitude after multiplying with the risk premium will be high. Moreover, is magnitude will be added to risk-free return to find the expected return. Thus, it can be seen that Kaskin has high beta 1.2 as compared to Quinn’s beta value 0.6. So, the Kaskin has a higher expected return.
Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $286,200. Its single product sells for $163 per unit, and variable costs are $110 per unit. Compute the level of sales in units needed to produce a target (pretax) income of $106,000.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 7,400 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $286,200
Selling price= $163 per unit
Unitary variable costs= $110
Desired profit= $106,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the break-even point formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (286,200 + 106,000) / (163 - 110)
Break-even point in units= 7,400 units

Omega's policy is to have 30% of the following month's sales in inventory. On January 1, inventory equaled 8,000 units. February production in units is:
Answer: d. 36,000
Explanation:
February Production Units = Sales + Closing Inventory - Opening inventory
Closing Inventory
= 30% of following month's sales
= 30% * March sales
= 30% * 50,000
= 15,000
Opening Inventory February = Closing inventory for January
= 30% * February sales
= 30% * 30,000
= 9,000
February Production Units = Sales + Closing Inventory - Opening inventory
= 30,000 + 15,000 - 9,000
= 36,000

Due to numerous lawsuits, major chemical manufacturer has recently experienced a market reevaluation. The firm has 15-year, 8% coupon bond, paid semiannually and par value of $1,000. The required nominal rate (yield) on this debt has now risen to 10%. What is the current price of this bond?
Answer:
Bond Price = 846.2754897 rounded off to $846.28
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = 0.08 * 1/2 * 1000 = $40
Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30
r or YTM = 10% * 1/2 = 5% or 0.05
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
Bond Price = 40 * [( 1 - (1+0.05)^-30) / 0.05] + 1000 / (1+0.05)^30
Bond Price = 846.2754897 rounded off to $846.28

It is not possible to create a per unit MCS if you are given total revenue and selling price. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A per unit MCS cannot be created if you are given total revenue and selling price because per unit MCS is created by dividing the given total revenue by the total units of products ( for revenue per unit of product )
And also dividing the total cost by the total units of products ( for cost per unit of product ) hence the absence of the number of products will make it impossible to create a per unit MCS.
The whole cost of sales of welfare's and commodities is called total revenue while the trading price is the price the purchaser spends on acquiring the goods and commodities.
Yes, the given statement is true.
To generate per unit MCS total income and sale price cannot serve as determinants.MCS is estimated by dividing the total income by the generation of total assemblies.Also, MCS is determined by dividing total cost by the total assemblies of products so that the cost per unit can be determined.Therefore without the quantity of production MCS cannot be determined.

On January 2, the company sells $1,000 worth of goods with credit terms 2/10, n/30.
January 2
Dr Accounts receivable 1,000
Cr Sales revenue
If the client pays within the discount period:
January 11
Dr Cash 980
Dr Sales discounts 20
Cr Accounts receivable 1,000
If the client pays after the discount period but before 30 days:
January 31
Dr Cash 1,000
Cr Accounts receivable 1,000
The credit terms 2/10, and n/30 are interpreted as a 2% cash discount if the amount is paid within 10 days, or the balance is due in 30 days. Thus, option A is the correct option.
Trade credits like 2/10 net 30 are frequently provided by suppliers to purchasers. It stands for an agreement that if payment is made within 10 days, the buyer would get a 2% reduction on the net invoice amount. Otherwise, you have 30 days to pay the entire invoice amount.
It's a common way to express an early payment discount. In accounting, the discount amount and the window of availability are typically represented using a formula like 2/10, n/30. This implies that if the invoice is paid in full within ten days, a 2% reduction is applied; otherwise, the full amount is owed.

Refer to the following scenario to answer the following questions.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income-earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next to the village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of them out on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.
Boats Fish Caught per
Boat (pounds)
1 200
2 190
3 175
4 155
5 130
How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?
Answer:
5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150
Explanation:
Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.
Price of fish = $5 per pound.
There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.
For 1 boat
Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000
Cost = $500
Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500
Profit = $500.
For 2 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500
Profit of each boat = $450.
For 3 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500
Profit of each boat = $375
For 4 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500
Profit of each boat = $275
For 5 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500
Profit of each boat = $150.
Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.
