Answer: 2.0 and 16%
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage and the expected percent change in income, will be calculated thus:
Operating leverage will be:
= Contribution margin / Net operating income
= 49200 / 24600
= 2
Then, percentage change in income will be:
= %change in sale × operating leverage
= 8% × 2
= 16%

Cape Corp. will pay a dividend of $3.60 next year. The company has stated that it will maintain a constant growth rate of 5 percent a year forever. a. If you want a return of 17 percent, how much will you pay for the stock
Answer:
$30
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
$3.6 / (0.17 - 0.05)
$3.60 / 0.12 = $30
Which of the following is an example of a positive economic statement? Question 19 options: a) Corrupt politicians ought to be voted out of office. b) An increase in the price of gasoline will cause a reduction in the amount of gasoline purchased. c) Marginal tax rates should be reduced for individuals in the highest tax bracket. d) Workers with families should be paid at least the minimum wage. e) If crime rates were reduced, the world would be a better place to live.
Consider two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 1.2. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and a beta of 1.8. The expected market rate of return is 9% and the risk-free rate is 5%. Security __________ would be considered the better buy because
Answer:
B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%
Explanation:
Here are the options :
A; it offers an expected excess return of .2%A; it offers an expected excess return of 2.2%B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%B; it offers an expected return of 2.4%
to determine which stock is the better buy, we have to calculate the expected return of the stocks using CAPM
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Stock A = 5% + 1.2(9% - 5%) = 9.8%
Stock B = 5% + 1.8(9% - 5%) = 12.20%
The next step is to determine the excess return
stated expected return - calculated expected return = excess return
Stock A's excess return = 10% - 9.8% - 0.2%
Stock B's excess return = 14 - 12.20 = 1.8%
Security B would be considered because it has a higher excess return

You sell 25,000 loaf of bread per year. The carrying cost associated the main ingredient wheat flour is estimated to be $8 per unit (amount used for 1 loaf of bread) per year, and the ordering cost is $10 per order. And assume 1 year is 300 days and lead time is 3 days.
Required:
a. What is the EOQ?
b. How much money you will lose if you order 300 units of wheat flour? Calculate the total cost of inventory with EOQ model and with order size is 300. The difference will give you the answer.
c. Calculate the re-order point (assuming no uncertainty)?
Answer:
Annual Demand (D) = 25000
Carrying Cost (H) = 8
Ordering Costs (S) = 10
Number of working days = 300
Lead Time (Lt) = 3 days
a. EOQ = Sqrt (2*D*S/H)
EOQ = Sqrt (2*25000*10/8)
EOQ = Sqrt (62500)
EOQ = 250
b. Total Cost = (D * S) / EOQ + (EOQ * H) / 2
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 250 + (250 * 8) / 2
Total Cost = 1000 + 1000
Total Cost = 2000
Now, we calculate total Cost with order size: of 300
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 300 + (300 * 8) / 2
Total Costs = 833.3333 + 1200
Total Cost = 2,033.3333
The amount to lost if we order 300 units of wheat flour is as follows
= 2033.33 - 2000
= $33.33
3. ROP = (D / Number of working days) x Lt
ROP = (25000 / 300) * 3
ROP = 83.3333 * 3
ROP = 249.9999
ROP = 250
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with four years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 6%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:_________.
a.) $841,635.85
b.) $715,390.47
c.) $530,230.59
d.) $1,009,963.02
Answer:
a.) $841,635.85
Explanation:
The value of the Treasury note is the present value of its future cash flows, its semiannual coupon payments and the face value receivable by the investors in the T-note at maturity.
Semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value=$1,000,000
coupon rate=6%
semiannual coupon=$1,000,000*6%*6/12
semiannual coupon=$30,000( there would 8 semiannual coupons in 4 years)
The present value of the cash flows can be determined using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=8(semiannual coupons)
PMT=30000(amount of each semiannual coupon)
I/Y=5.50%(semiannual yield to maturity=11.00%*6/12)
FV=1000000(the face value of T-note)

Harris Fabrics computes its plantwide predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 44,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of production. The company also estimated $521,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $2.00 per direct labor-hour. Harris’s actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $687,120 and its actual total direct labor was 44,500 hours. Required: Compute the company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate for the year. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13.84 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (521,000 / 44,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 11.84 + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13.84 per direct labor hour
A company's fixed costs are $1,500,000, the unit selling price is $250, and the unit variable costs are $130. The amount of sales required to realize an operating income of $200,000 is Group of answer choices
Answer:
The answer is 14,167 units
Explanation:
Target sales is the amount of sales a company has projected itself to sell within a particular period.
Target sales(in units) =
(Fixed cost + target income) / contribution margin
Where contribution margin is sales in unit minus variable costs
($1,500,000 + $200,000) / $250 - $130
$1,700,000/$120
=14,167 units
Therefore, 14,167 units is the amount of sales that will need to be recorded to generate an operating income of $200,000

Automaton, Inc.'s current stock price is $57. Analysts forecast a price of $45 in one year. Automaton's Beta is 1.2. The Risk-Free Rate is 3% and Return of the Market Portfolio is 7%. Assuming Automaton pays a $5 dividend at the end of the year, what is the Holding Period Return?
Answer:
-12.28%
Explanation:
Holding period return is the total return on an investment in the period when the investment is held by an investor.
Holding period return = price appreciation + dividend yield
price appreciation = (price in on year - initial price) / initial price
(45 - 57) / 57 = -0.21053 = -21.05%
dividend yield = dividend / initial price
$5 / 57 = 0.0877 = 8.77
Holding period return = -21.05% + 8.77 = -12.28%

A restaurant is considering buying a new coffee making machine, which will be replaced over and over with a new one when an old one dies. Each coffee making machine costs $113,000, and is expected to die after exactly 5-years. Each machine will costs $9,200 per year to operate. The discount rate that the restaurant assigns to this coffee making machine project is 9 percent per year. The straight-line depreciation method would be used when calculating the machine's loss of value for tax purposes. Each coffee making machine will be fully depreciated all the way to zero at the end of its life. Also, each coffee making machine will have a before-tax salvage value of $8,500 at the end of its life. The restaurant's tax rate is 25 percent. As always, assume that all cash flows occur at year end. If the restaurant buys a coffee making machine over and over in perpetuity, as soon as one dies, what would be the average, or the equivalent, annual cost (EAC) of the machine? (Since cost is a cash outflow, a negative dollar amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)What is the EAC?
Answer:
Restaurant's Coffee-Making Machine
The Equivalent annual cost (EAC) of the machine is:
= $37,184
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of each coffee making machine = $113,000
Estimated useful life = 5 years
Estimated annual operating cost = $9,200
Assigned discount rate = 9%
Before-tax salvage value = $8,500
Restaurant's tax rate = 25%
After-tax salvage value = $6,375 ($8,500 * (1 - 0.25)
Annuity factor for 5 years at 9% = 3.890
Discount factor for 5 years at 9% = 0.650
Present values:
Initial cost ($113,000 * 1) = $113,000
Annual operating cost ($9,200 * 3.890) 35,788
Salvage value ($6,375 * 0.650) = (4,144)
Total cost = $144,644
Equivalent annual cost of the machine = $37,184 ($144,644/3.890)

If a company is overly optimistic about debt collection, the company will understate bad debt expense and:
Answer:
overstate net income but days to collect will increase.
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is defined when any receivable is no more collectible as the customer is not able to fulfil or satisfy the obligation in order to pay the obligation of paying an outstanding debt because of some financial problems or due to bankruptcy.
Thus when any organization is more optimistic about the debt collection, it will understate the bad debt expenses and will also overstate the net income. But in this case the number of days to collect the payment increases.
Favre and Carter Law Office employ 12 full-time attorneys and 5 paraprofessionals. Budgeted salaries include $100,000 for each attorney and $30,000 per paraprofessional. For 20x1, indirect costs were budgeted at $250,000, but actually amounted to $300,000. Actual salaries were $110,000 for each attorney and $30,000 for each paraprofessional. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a professional labor-hour basis that includes both attorney and paraprofessional hours. Total budgeted labor-hours were 50,000; however, actual labor-hours were 60,000.
How much should the client be billed in a normal costing system which uses budgeted rate and cost allocations are based on actual data, when 1,000 professional labor-hours were used?
a. $27,000
b. $32,000
c. $34,800
d. $37,400
Answer:
Billed costs= $32,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total estimated cost attorney= 12*100,000= $1,200,000
Total estimated cost paraprofessional= 5*30,000= $150,000
Estimated Indirect costs= $250,000
Estimated number of hours= 50,000
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate:
Allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Allocation rate= (1,200,000 + 150,000 + 250,000) / 50,000
Allocation rate= 1,600,000/50,000
Allocation rate= $32
Now, for 1,000 hours:
Billed costs= 1,000*32= $32,000
Suppose that the production function is y= 9k^0.5 N^0.5. With this production function, the marginal product of labor is MPN= 4.5K^0.5 N^-0.5. The capital stock is K= 25. The labor supply curve is NS= 100[(1-t)w]^2, where w is the real wage rate, t is the tax rate on labor income, and hence (1-t)w is the after-tax real wage rate.
Required:
a. Assume that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals zero. Find the equation of the labor demand curve. Calculate the equilibrium levels of the real wage and employ- ment, the level of full-employment output, and the total after-tax wage income of workers.
b. Repeat part (a) under the assumption that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals 0.6.
Answer:
A) i) w/P = MPN , ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) w = 1.5 , N = 225,
iii) y = 675 ,
iv) 337.5
B) i) ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2
ii) w = 2.372 , N = 90
iii) y = 426.91
iv) 85.839
Explanation:
Given data :
Production function ( y ) = 9k^0.5 N^0.5
MPN = 4.5k^0.5N^-0.5
capital stock ( K ) = 25
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
assume P = 1
a) Determine
i) equation of labor demand curve = w/P = MPN
where; w = 22.5 N^-0.5 , N=506.25/(w^2)
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) equilibrium levels of real wage and employment
506.25/(w^2) = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ( equilibrium condition )
w ( equilibrium level of real wage ) = 1.5
equilibrium level of employment = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ; where t = 0 , w = 1.5
= 100 ( 1 * 1.5 )^2
N = 225
iii) level of full-employment y = 9k^0.5 N^0.5 ; where N = 225 , k = 25
= 9(25)^0.5 * (225)^0.5
y = 675
iv) Total after-tax wage income of workers
= w*N = ( 225 * 1.5 ) = 337.5
B) assuming t = 0.6
i) equation of labor demand curve
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2 = 16 w^2
ii) equilibrium levels ; 16w^2 = 506.25/(w^2).
w( equilibrium real wage ) = 2.372
Equilibrium employment ( N )= 16 * ( 2.372 )^2 =90
iii) level of full employment y = 9k^0.5 * 90^0.5
= 9(25)^0.5 * 90^0.5 = 426.91
iv) Total after tax wage/income of workers
= (1-0.6)*2.372*90 = 85.839
At the beginning of the year, American International had inventory worth $325,500 at cost. At the end of the year, the cost value of the inventory was $540,250. If annual cost of goods sold was $1,978,250 find the inventory turnover at cost for the year. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth) Group of answer choices
Answer:
Inventory turnover= 4.57
Explanation:
To calculate the inventory turnover, we need to use the following formula:
Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory= (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory= (325,500 + 540,250) / 2
Average inventory= 432,875
Inventory turnover= 1,978,250 / 432,875
Inventory turnover= 4.57

change in economic growth = 1.5% - 3% = -1.5%
Δx = -1.5
the dependent vaiable is the y variable, that is the variable on the Y-axis.
ΔY = 5%-6% = 1%
from here we calculate the average slope
Δy/Δx = -1/-1.5
= 1/1.5
this is also equivalent to 2/3 or 0.66667

(Select the appropriate range in which your answer falls.]
a. More than 0 but less than or equal to 700
b. More than 700 but less than or equal to 850
c. More than 850 but less than or equal to 1000
d. More than 1000 but less than or equal to 1150
e. More than 1150
Answer:
Option E
The annual ordering cost is more than $1150
Explanation:
The ordering costs include all the clerical, administrative and transportation costs associated with placing an order.
Annual ordering cos = ordering cost per order × number of order
No of order = Annual demand/order quantity
= 1908/67= 28.47 orders
Annual ordering cost = 28.47× 45= $1281.49
Annual ordering cost =$1281.49
The annual ordering cost is more than $1150
Ramble On Co. wishes to maintain a growth rate of 13.6 percent per year, a debt-equity ratio of 1.8, and a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent. The ratio of total assets to sales is constant at .98. What profit margin must the firm achieve
Answer: 5.99%
Explanation:
Based on the question,
Dividend payout ratio = 30%
Therefore, the retention ratio will be:
= 1 - 30%
= 70%
Growth rate = 13.6%
We'll the use the sustainable growth rate formula which will be:
0.136 = (ROE x 0.7)/ (1-(ROE x 0.7))
0.136(1 - (0.7ROE)) = 0.7ROE
ROE = 0.136/0.7952
ROE = 0.171026
Then, the Profit margin will be:
ROE = Profit Margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x (1 + 1.8)
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x 2.8
PM = 0.171026 x 0.98/2.8
PM = 0.0598591
Profit margin = 5.99%
