Answer:

remain the same

Explanation:

Breakeven quantity are the number of  units produced and sold at which net income is zero

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit

Initial Breakeven quantity = $720,000 / ($30 - $18) = 60,000

New Breakeven quantity = $900,000 / ($30 - $15) = 60,000

Breakeven point remained the same

Slapshot Company

The total production is $98,000 with a unit cost of $49 per hockey stick.

The selling price per unit should be above $49 when marked-up.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Direct materials (wood, paint, Kevlar, and resin)        $26,000

Direct labor (10 workers x 100 hours x $20 per hour) 20,000

Manufacturing overhead equaled                                52,000

Total production costs =                                             $98,000

Production of hockey stick = 2,000 units

Unit cost of hockey stick = $49 ($98,000/2,000)

g(f(x)) ;

76 ;

f(g(x))

Explanation:

For 15 off

f(x) = x - 15

For 35% off

g(x) = (1 - 0.35)x = 0.65x

g(x) = 0.65x

A.)

For the $15 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(x) 40 - 15 = 25

For the 35% coupon :

g(x) = (1-0.35)x

g(x) = 0.65(25)

g(x) = 16.25

B.)

Applying $15 off first, then 35%

Here, g is a function of f(x)

g(f(x))

Here g(x) takes in the result of f(x) ;

For the $140 off coupon :

f(x) = x - 15

f(140) = 140 - 15 = 125

For the 35% coupon :

g(125) = (1-0.35)x

g(124) = 0.65(125) = $81.25

C.)

x = 140

g(x) = 0.65x

g(140) = 0.65(140)

g(140) = 91

f(x) = x - 15

f(91) = 91 - 15

f(91) = 76

D.)

Here, F is a function of g(x)

f(g(x))

f(x) = (0.65*140) - 15

unfavorable variance

Explanation:

In such situation, a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represents

unfavorable variance. This is an accounting term that explains situations when the actual cost of the project is higher than the standard or projected cost.

It means that the actual price at which the materials are bought is higher than the standard price / budgeted price / estimated price and therefore, more amount has to be paid than expected.

Answer:

Present Value of Cash Flows

Exactly when they occur

Expansion Project

Sunk cost is the cost which is already incurred and it is not affected by the decision to accept or reject the project.

Include the value of the warehouse as part of the initial investment in the new project.

Negative Externality

Explanation:

Present value of Cash flows is the discounted cash flows which shows the real worth of the money now which is to be received in future. Sunk costs are not part of the project as they are already incurred. These cost are not included in the calculations of the project cash flows. Negative externality is the undesirable impact due to production and manufacturing plants operations on the environment.

Answer:

5375

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Fixed assets costing = $962000

Annual fixed costs = $403400

Variable cost per unit = $123.60

Sales price per unit = $249.00

Discount rate = 14%

Tax rate = 21%

The contribution per unit = Sales price - Variable cost

= $(249.00 - 123.60)

= $125.40

The present value break-even point(BEP) is the region of sales level where the net present value (NPV) equals zero.

Assuming that the sales level = p

i.e.

NPV = PV(of inflows - of outflows)

Inflows = (p * contribution per unit - annual fixed cost)( 1- tax rate) + depreciation * tax rate

= (p * 125.4 - 403400) ( 1 - 0.21) + depreciation * tax rate

where;

depreciation = initial fixed assest cost/ lifetime of the project

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (962000/6)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (160333.33)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670

Now, the PV of the inflows =PV factor(6 years, 14%) * inflows

[tex]= inflows * \dfrac{( 1-(1.14)^{-6})}{0.14}[/tex]

[tex]= inflows * 3.8887[/tex]

Replacing the value for inflows, we have:

[tex]=((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887[/tex]

The PV of the outflows = Initial Fixed asset cost = $962000

∴

Equating both together using:

PV(of inflows - of outflows) = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 - 962000 = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 =  962000

(99.066p - 318686 + 33670) * 3.8887 =  962000

(99.066p - 285016) * 3.8887 =  962000

385.24p - 1108341.72 = 962000

385.24p= 962000 + 1108341.72

385.24p= 2070341.72

p = 2070341.72 / 385.24

p ≅ 5375

Answer:

Stocks and Bonds

Yes.  It is a rational behavior for individuals with a long-term investment horizon to choose to invest in bonds rather than investing in stocks despite the overwhelming "evidence that suggests that over long periods of time stocks still outperform bonds."

Rational behavior involves making rational choices that provide optimal levels of benefit or utility for the individual. People who make rational choices would rather choose bonds with lower risks and returns than stocks with higher risks and returns.

Explanation:

Every rational investor would prefer to reduce her risk exposure instead of increasing it.  Every investor is also aware that  investments with higher risks attract higher returns.  However, determining the certainty of the returns is difficult.

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

The decrease of a marginal input return implies that its input is increasing by one unit, thereby decreasing its marginal input product.

Function of production

[tex]F(K, L) = AK^{\frac{3}{4}} L^{\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

Its capital products subject (MPK) is derived by differentiating the factor of production from K.

[tex]MPK = \frac{3}{4}\times AK^{\frac{3}{4}} - 1L^{\frac{3}{4}}\\\\MPK = \frac{3}{4}AK^{-\frac{1}{4}}L^{\frac{3}{4}}\\\\MPK = \frac{3}{4}\times A\times (\frac{L^{\frac{3}{4}}}{K^{\frac{1}{4}}})[/tex]

Note: When a value is changed from numerator to denominator, then the power symbol shifts between positive to negative.

Since k is in the denominator, K decreases [tex]\frac{3}{4}\times A\times (\frac{L^{\frac{3}{4}}}{K^{\frac{1}{4}}})[/tex], and therefore MPK is reduced.

There's hence a decreased effective return on capital again for production function.

Its marginal labor product (MPL) is determined by distinguishing the manufacturing function from L.

[tex]MPL = (\frac{3}{4})\times AK^{\frac{3}{4}}L^{\frac{3}{4}}-1\\\\MPL = (\frac{3}{4})AK^{\frac{3}{4}}L^{-\frac{1}{4}}\\\\MPL = (\frac{3}{4})\times A\times (\frac{K^{\frac{3}{4}}}{L^{\frac{3}{4}}})[/tex]

The denominator of L reduces L [tex](\frac{3}{4})\times A\times (\frac{K^{\frac{3}{4}}}{L^{\frac{3}{4}}})[/tex] and therefore reduces MPL.

So there is a decreasing marginal return to labor in the production function.

Answer:

The correct solution is "125%".

Explanation:

Given:

Desired profit,

= $55

Selling and administrative expenses,

= $45

Product cost,

= $80

Now,

The markup percentage will be:

= [tex]\frac{Desired \ profit+Selling \ and \ administrative \ expenses}{Product \ cost}\times 100[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{55+45}{80}\times 100[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{100}{80}\times 100[/tex]

= [tex]125[/tex] (%)

125% is the markup percentage on product cost.

It is important to remember that markup is a term used to refer to the difference between the selling price of a product and cost.

Using the formula

Desired profit + Selling and administrative expenses/product cost X 100

55+45/80 = 1.25

1.25* 100= 125

= 125%

Four main types of structures of the organization are:

Explanation:

This structure consists of employees performing similar tasks or specialties. For example, in the finance department, accountants are grouped and the same applies to marketing departments, operations, and human resources. This structure enables swift decision-making because the group members have similar skills, can communicate easily, and can also improve their ability by learning from each other.

This structure groups employees according to the products or projects that meet customer requirements of a certain type. For instance, a catering services restaurant could organize the employees by departments, e.g. weddings or wholesale retail departments, according to which they serve. Employees are split so that their performance is maximized.

The traditional top-down management system is impeded by a flat organizational structure. There is no concept of the boss, every employee is the boss, which removes bureaucracy and improves direct contact. For example, an employee with an innovative idea or suggestion need not contact every level of senior management to give the person responsible for the idea. The staff can directly communicate on an individual basis.

A matrix structure has a complex story true as it combines elements from both the functional and the divisional models. It first divides employees according to their specialization, then further separates them into departments according to projects and products. To make this structure a lot of planning and efforts are required but one e achieved increases the productivity of the team, promotes innovation and creativity, and good decision making.

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the information above,

Total asset = Current asset + Net fixed assets + Other non current assets

= Current asset + $25m + $2m

= Current asset + $27m

= Long term debt + equity

= 10m + $3m + $25m

= $38m

Current liabilities = $2m

Since current liabilities = Total asset - (long-term debt + equity)

$2m = (current asset + $27m) - $38m

$2m = current asset + $27m - $38m

Current asset = $2m - $27m + $38m

Current asset = $13m
