Han Products manufactures 29,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead 9.00
Total cost per part $27.00
An outside supplier has offered to sell 29,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $23 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $79,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.
Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier’s offer?
Answer:
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000
Explanation:
Relevant costs saved by outsourcing production:
Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor $12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead $9.00 * 1/3 = $3
Total cost per part $21.00
Total savings per year = $21 * 29,000 = $609,000
Additional rental income = $79,000
Total = $688,000
Cost of purchasing 29,000 parts = $23 * 29,000 = $667,000
Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000

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

Monthly sales units = 500 units
Selling price per unit = $300
Before Change After Change
Sales revenue $150,000 $178,000 ($168,000 + $10,000)
Variable costs 110,000 120,000
Fixed costs 32,000 48,000
Total costs $142,000 $168,000
Operating income $8,000 $10,000 ($8,000 * 1.25)
The sales price level that would give the desired results is $356 ($178,000/500). This represents an increase of 18.7% ($56/$300 * 100).
Northberg Company is preparing a cash budget for August. The company has $16,000 cash at the beginning of August and anticipates $126,000 in cash receipts and $134,500 in cash payments during August. Northberg Company wants to maintain a minimum cash balance of $15,000. To maintain the $15,000 required balance, during August the company must: Group of answer choices Borrow $15,000. Repay $7,500. Repay $8,500. Borrow $7,500. Borrow $8,500.
Answer:
Borrow $7,500
Explanation:
The calculation of the amount that should be required to maintain the required balance is given below:
Preliminary cash balance
= Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements
= $16,000 + $126,000 - $134,500
= $7,500
Since we have to maintain $15,000 so we have to borrow the following amount
= $15,000 - $7,500
= $7,500
Meyer Company reported the following for its recent year of operation:
From Income Statement:
Depreciation Expense $1,000
Loss on the Sale of Equipment (3,000)
From the comparative balance sheet:
Beginning balance, equipment $12,500
Ending balance, equipment 8,000
Beginning balance, accumulated depreciation 2,000
Ending balance, accumulated depreciation 2,600
No new equipment was purchased during the year. What was the selling price of the equipment?
Answer:
$900
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the selling price of the equipment
First step
Cost of equipment sold = Beginning balance - Ending balance
Cost of equipment sold=$12,500-$8,000
Cost of equipment sold=$4,500
Second step
Ending balance= Beginning balance + Depreciation expense - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold
Ending balance=$2,000+$1,000-$600
Ending balance=$2,400
Third step
Book value = Cost of equipment sold - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold
Book value=$4,500-$600
Book value=$3,900
Now let determine the selling price of the equipment
Selling price=$3,000-$3,900
Selling price=$900
Therefore the selling price of the equipment.is $900
As more units of an item are purchased, everything else equal, marginal satisfaction from consuming additional units will tend to Select one: a. decrease at the same rate for all consumers. b. decrease but at different rates for different people. c. increase at the same rate for all consumers. d. increase but at a decreasing rate for all consumers.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Marginal satisfaction is the additional satisfaction received from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. It is the change in total satisfaction by increasing the quantity consumed by one unit
Marginal satisfaction usually declines as more units of the products is consumed
An example illustrating diminishing marginal satisfaction.
Imagine a traveller arriving from the desert where he hadn't had a drink of water in days .he is offered his first glass of water. the first cup of water he drinks would give him the highest utility. As more and more cups of water is drank, marginal utility decreases. At the point where he is fully satisfied, he stops drinking water and marginal utility becomes zero.
the decrease in marginal satisfaction of this traveller would be slower than the decrease in marginal satisfaction of a person working in an air conditioned office with easy assess to water
Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel; $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides; and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations. What is the family's accounting cost? What is the family's economic cost? Could the family's economic cost ever exceed its accounting cost? Why or why not?
Answer:
Accounting Cost
Accounting costs refers to the explicit costs which ar the actual costs related to the business venture. In this case that would be:
= Fuel costs + Seed costs + Equipment
= 25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000
= $90,000
Economic cost
This includes the accounting costs and then adds the implicit costs which are the opportunity costs of choosing the current business venture. In this case it is the $20,000 they could have been making working at other occupations.
= Accounting cost + Salary foregone
= 90,000 + 20,000
= $110,000
Economic costs will always be higher than Accounting costs because they include both the accounting costs and opportunity costs.
der owns a hamburger restaurant. Slider's minimum average variable cost is $10$ 10 at a quantity of 100 hamburgers, and his minimum average total cost is $15$ 15 at a quantity of 200 hamburgers. His total fixed cost is $300$ 300 . Use this information to answer the questions. What is Slider's AVC when he sells 200 hamburgers?
Answer:
$13.50
Explanation:
Average Total Cost = Average Variable Cost + Average Fixed Cost
Average Fixed Cost = total fixed cost / quantity
300 / 200 = 1.5
15 = 1.5 + Average Variable Cost
Average Variable Cost =15 - 1.5 = 13.50

Suppose you buy some stock in the Alpha Corporation at a price of $45.95 per share. 410 days later you sell the stock for $48.27. During this period you received a per share dividend of $1.20. What is your annualized return on this investment
Answer: 6.79%
Explanation:
The holding period return is:
= (Current price - Cost price + Dividend) / Cost price
= (48.27 - 45.95 + 1.20) / 45.95
= 7.66%
The annualized return is:
= ( ( 1 + holding period return) ^ number of days in a year/ number of days stock was held - 1)
= ( ( 1 + 7.66%) ³⁶⁵ / ⁴¹⁰ - 1)
= 6.79%

Advantages of equity financing over debt financing include that: Multiple Choice equity financing does not require repayment. dividends are mandatory. stockholders' control will increase. dividends are tax deductible.
Answer: equity financing does not require repayment.
Explanation:
Equity financing simply means a method of financing which has to do with the sale of shares. Debt financing occurs when money is raised by a company through the sale of debt instruments to the investors.
It should be noted that equity financing is the opposite of debt financing. Unlike the debt financing, equity finance doesn't carry a repayment obligation. In this case, the investors purchase the shares in the company and they make money through the dividends gotten or through the eventual sale of shares.
Also, there is less risky with the equity financing as there's no fixed monthly loan payments to make and this can be of immense benefit to startup businesses.
Well Water Inc. wants to produce and sell a new flavored water. In order to penetrate the market, the product will have to sell at $2.00 per 12 oz. bottle. The following data has been collected:

Suppose you entered a contract to buy your friend's iPad. Without your knowledge, it was malfunctioning at the time you bought it, and it died soon after you started using it. Your friend had recently removed a large number of applications from the iPad that were not working. Although he honestly thought the problem was with the applications and not the iPad itself, he failed to tell you about the problem. You reasonably concluded, based on your inspection of all of the current applications on the iPad, that it was functioning properly. Can you rescind the contract to buy the iPad?
a. Yes, due to fraud.
b. Yes, due to innocent misrepresentation.
c. Yes, due to mutual mistake.
d. Yes, due to undue influence.
e. No, the latent malfunction was not material, because the iPad was functioning when you bought it.
Answer:
Can you rescind the contract to buy the iPad?
b. Yes, due to innocent misrepresentation.
Explanation:
You can rescind the contract without damages or you claim damages based on the loss that you have already incurred for the contract. An innocent misrepresentation occurs when the misrepresentation is not fraudulent nor negligent. Therefore, you can rescind the contract or affirm it. But if the misrepresentation is fraudulent or negligent, you can rescind the contract as well as claim damages.
Based on a predicted level of production and sales of 30,000 units, a company anticipates total contribution margin of $105,000, fixed costs of $40,000, and operating income of $65,000. Based on this information, the budgeted operating income for 28,000 units would be
Answer: $58,000
Explanation:
Operating income for 28,000 units = Contribution margin for 28,000 units - Fixed costs
Contribution margin for 28,000 units:
= 28,000 units * Contribution margin of 30,000 units / 30,000 units
= 28,000 * 105,000 / 30,000
= $98,000 units
Operating income for 28,000 units = 98,000 - 40,000
= $58,000

A new trailer worth $10,000 is purchased and it's expected that the salvage value after 13 years will be $480. If the annual interest rate is 4.20% , what equation would be appropriate to use to determine the Expected Uniform Annual Cost (EUAC)
The equation that is used to determine the Expected Uniform Annual Cost is :
[tex]$A = P(A/P, i,n) - F(A/F, i,n)$[/tex]
It is given that :
Purchased price of a new trailer = $ 10,000
Number of years = 13 years
The salvage value after 13 years = $480
The rate of interest annually = 4.20%
The Estimated Uniform Annual Cost, that is the EUAC method is used to express the life cycle costs as the annualized estimate of the cash flow rather than a lumpsum estimate of the present value.
In other words, it is the annual cost of a system which is equal or equivalent to the discounted total cost.
So the equation that can be used to express the Expected Uniform Annual Cost in the given problem is :
[tex]$A = P(A/P, i,n) - F(A/F, i,n)$[/tex]

a)What are the expected returns and standard deviations of a portfolio consisting of:1.100 percent in stock A
Answer:
12%
1.00
Explanation:
Note that the expected return on stock A which is 12% is missing from the question as well as the standard deviation of A which is 1.00
The expected return from stock A with 100% of funds(total amount of investment) invested in stock A is the percentage invested in A multiplied by the expected return of stock A shown thus:
expected return=100%*12%
portfolio expected return=12%
portfolio standard deviation(if 100% invested in A)=1.00*100%
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%
When you retire, you wish to have $3 million in your retirement account. You decided to add $2,000 every quarter to your retirement account and invest to generate annualized return of 8% from your investment, how many years do you think it will take to have $3 million in the account
Answer:
43.35 years
Explanation:
Use the following formula to determine the number of years
Future Value of Annuity = Periodic Annuity x ( 1 + Periodic Interest rate )^numbers of periods ) - 1 / Periodic Interest rate
Where
Future Value of Annuity = $3 million = $3,000,000
Periodic Annuity = $2,000 per quarter
Periodic Interest rate = Interest rate x Quarterly fraction = 8% x 3/12 = 2%
Numbers of periods = n = ?
Placing values in the formula
$3,000,000 = $2,000 x ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
$3,000,000 / $2,000 = ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 x 2% = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 + 1 = 1.02^n
31 = 1.02^n
Log 31 = n log 1.02
n = Log 31 / Log1.02
n = 173.41
Now calculat ethe nUmbers of years as follow
Numbers of years = n x 3/12
Numbers of years = 173.41 x 3/12
Numbers of years = 43.35 years
