A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). The one-time fixed costs will total 49982. The variable costs will be $8.50 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores at a price of 25.25 per book. How many books must the publisher produce and sell so that the production costs will equal the money from sales

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 2,984 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The one-time fixed costs will total 49982. The variable costs will be $8.50 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores for 25.25 per book

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 49,982/ (25.25 - 8.5)

Break-even point in units= 2,984 units

Sheridan Company, had 837000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017. On July 1, 2018, an additional 40600 shares of common stock were issued for cash. Sheridan also had unexercised stock options to purchase 31400 shares of common stock at $15 per share outstanding at the beginning and end of 2018. The average market price of Sheridan's common stock was $20 during 2018. What is the number of shares that should be used in computing diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018

Answers

Answer:

865,150  shares  

Explanation:

The calculation of shares for diluted earning per share is shown below:-

Shares for diluted earning per share = Outstanding shares + Issued shares + Stock option

= 837,000 + (40,600 × 6 ÷ 12) + ((31,400 - (31,400 × $15 ÷ $20)

= 837,000 + 20,300 + 7,850

= 865,150  shares

Therefore we have applied the above formula.

A bagel company bakes a specialty bagel that it sells by the dozen every day. These specialty bagels can only be baked early in the morning before the store opens for business. The company estimates that the daily demand (in dozens) for its specialty bagel is distributed as follows: Specialty bagels arc sold by the dozen only at a cost of $9.00 per dozen. The cost to make one bagel is $0.50. Leftover specialty bagels arc sold by the dozen the next day for a 50% discount. The optimal number of specialty bagels that should be baked tomorrow (in dozens) is:________ a) 5 dozen. b) 4 dozen. c) 3 dozen. d) 2 dozen.

Answers

Answer:

b) 4 dozen

Explanation:

The computation of the optimal number of specially bagels i.e expected value is shown below:

As we know that

Expected value = Demand × probability

= 1 dozens × 0.10 + 2 dozens × 0.15 + 3 dozens × 0.20 + 4 dozens × 0.25 + 5 dozens × 0.30

= 0.1 + 0.3 + 0.6 + 1 + 1.5

= 3.5 dozen or 4 dozen

Hence, the correct option is b.

Assume that you plan to buy a share of XYZ stock today and to hold it for 2 years. Your expectations are that you will not receive a dividend at the end of Year 1, but you will receive a dividend of $9.25 at the end of Year 2. In addition, you expect to sell the stock for $150 at the end of Year 2. If your expected rate of return is 16 percent, how much should you be willing to pay for this stock today?

Answers

Answer:

Price to be paid today = $118.35

Explanation:

The price of a share can be calculated using the dividend valuation model  

According to this model the value of share is equal to the sum of the present values of its future cash dividends discounted at the required rate of return.  

The model can applied as follows:

PV of dividend = D×(1+r) ^(-n)

D- dividend , r - required rate , n- number of year

D- 9.25,  r - 16%, n = 2

PV of dividend = 9.25 × (1.16)^(-2)= 6.9

PV of disposal value

PV of dividend = F ×  (1+r) ^(-n)

D- disposal value  , r - required rate , n- number of year

PV of disposal value  = 150 × (1.16)^(-2)= 111.47

Price to be paid today

Total present value  =  6.9  +  111.47  = 118.35

Price to be paid today = $118.35

Andrea hired Jack to be the sales agent for her paintings. However, in a month's time, she terminated the agency with Jack. Harold, a customer who had dealt with Jack earlier, was not aware of the termination. Harold approached Jack to buy a painting and wrote him a check of $5,000, the advance payment for the painting which Jack promised would be delivered in two weeks. When Jack did not contact Harold later, Harold demanded that Andrea honor the contract, since Jack sold the picture as her agent. Which of the following is true of this situation?
A. Since Jack had apparent authority, Andrea is liable to honor his contract with Harold.
B. Harold's duty was to contact Andrea. His failure to do this removes her liability to honor the contract.
C. Jack had express authority as Andrea's agent, which is not terminated with the termination of their agency.
D. As Andrea terminated the agency with Jack in violation of his rights, Jack has the direct authority to sell her paintings.

Answers

Answer:

A. Since Jack had apparent authority, Andrea is liable to honor his contract with Harold.

Explanation:

The Contract defines that when two or more persons bound for a purpose legally.

Contract = Agreement + enforceble

Here as per the given situation Andrea hired Jack as the sales representative for her portraits. She suspended the organisation with Jack though, in a month's time.

Harold, a client who had previously worked with Jack, was not informed of the closure. Harold contacted Jack to purchase a painting, and gave him a $5,000 check, the painting advance payment that Jack agreed would be shipped in two weeks.

As Jack later failed to reach Harold, Harold requested that Andrea uphold the deal, as Jack sold the picture as her agent

Andrea is liable to uphold his deal with Harold, as Jack had obvious authority.

Ashley bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $350 more than the desktop. She paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desktop the interest rate was 7% per year, and for the laptop it was 6% per year. The total finance charges for one year were $398. How much did each computer cost before finance charges

Answers

Answer:

Laptop = $3250

Desktop = $2900

Explanation:

Total finance charge = $398

Laptop cost = 350 + x

Desktop = X

Workings

Finance cost = (7% *X ) + (6% * 350+x ) = 398

0,07 X + 0.06 X + 21 = 398

0.13 X + 21 = 398

0.13 X = 398 -21

0.13 X = 377

Therefore ,X = 377/0.13

=2900

Cost of Desktop = 2900

Cost of Laptop =2900+350 =3,250

Becker Industries is considering an all equity capital structure against one with both debt and equity. The all equity capital structure would consist of 30,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 15,000 shares of stock plus $255,000 of debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options

Answers

Answer:

The break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes is $47,200

Explanation:

EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes

EPS = Earnings per share

I = interest

n = number of equity shares

n1, n2 = number of equity shares outstanding after adopting financing plans 1 and 2

n1=30,000

n2= 15,000

Break-even EBIT level   is the indifferent point where EPS under alternative financing plan is the same.

Mathematically, the break-even EBIT level is:   EBIT/ n1 = (EBIT - I ) / n2

EBIT/30,000 =(EBIT -295,000 x 8%/ 15,000)  

EBIT/2 = EBIT - 23,600

2*EBIT - 23,600 x 2 = EBIT

2EBIT - EBIT= 47,200

EBIT= $47,200

A) The agent never spoke directly with the buyer. B) Dual agency is illegal. C) The buyer and agent did not complete an agency agreement, either oral or written. D) The buyer did not like the agent from the very beginning.

Answers

In an inert organizational culture, poor working relationships frequently develop between the organization and its employees. the organization tries to avoid layoffs. the organization emphasizes long-term employment. employees regularly receive rewards for their performance. values and norms help the organization build momentum.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:  the organization emphasizes long-term employment.

Explanation:

An inert organizational culture is one that does not seek to adapt to new work processes and trends whose objective is to innovate and facilitate work and processes.

They are usually organizations whose culture is focused on more inflexible and rigid internal policies, whose focus is on the establishment of processes and does not focus on the relationships and integration of workers.

This type of organization focuses on long-term employment, which can culminate in the lack of innovation in personnel, ideas, processes and the improvement of total quality.

In an inert organizational culture, poor working relationships frequently develop between the organization and its employees the organization emphasizes long-term employment. Thus, option B is correct.

An organizational culture that is inert does not attempt to change in response to emerging trends and work processes with the aim of innovating and streamlining work and procedures.

They are often businesses whose internal rules are more strict and inflexible, whose emphasis is on establishing procedures rather than on fostering connections and worker integration.

Long-term employment is the main focus of this kind of organization, which can lead to a lack of innovation in staff, concepts, procedures, and overall quality.
