Answer:
A market situation in which a large number of firms produce similar but not identical products is called perfectly competitive.
Explanation:
A factory costs $400,000. It will produce an inflow after operating costs of $100 000 in year 1. $ 200,000 in year 2, and $ 300,000 in year 3. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate NPV.
Answer:
NPV = $62,258.56
Explanation:
initial outlay year 0 = $400,000
cash inflow year 1 = $100,000
cash inflow year 2 = $200,000
cash inflow year 3 = $300,000
discount rate = 12%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $62,258.56
if you do it by hand:
NPV = -$400,000 + $100,000/1.12 + $200,000/1.12² + $300,000/1.12³ = -$400,000 + $89,285.71 + $159,438.78 + $213,534.07 = $62,258.56

In his 1935 book, Harold Laswell described politics as "Who Gets What When How." The American concept of pluralism, or group politics, includes all of the following except _________________.
A) placing others into decision-making positions.
B) removing inefficient or ineffective representatives.
C) casting one's ballot on Election Day.
D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.
Answer:
D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.
Explanation:
Pluralism is an American theory of governance that states that political power is controlled by several groups of people and not the citizens as a whole. These several groups of people constitute organizations, activists, environmentalists, and other impactful groups who seek recognition and acceptance from the populace and who make decisions that affect the citizens. One attribute of Pluralism is the fact that no single elite or groups of elites control decision making in governance.
The groups of people have powers that are limited in scope and regulated by competition with other groups. Moreso, these groups seek approval from the populace and that is why opinion polls, surveys, elections, etc., are carried out in order to ascertain which entities are more popular with the people.
TB MC Qu. 8-174 LBC Corporation makes and sells ... LBC Corporation makes and sells a product called Product WZ. Each unit of Product WZ requires 2.0 hours of direct labor at the rate of $16.00 per direct labor-hour. Management would like you to prepare a Direct Labor Budget for June. The company plans to sell 39,000 units of Product WZ in June. The finished goods inventories on June 1 and June 30 are budgeted to be 610 and 110 units, respectively. Budgeted direct labor costs for June would be:
Answer:
Direct labor cost= $1,232,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each unit of Product WZ requires 2 hours of direct labor at a rate of $16 per direct labor-hour.
Sales= 39,000 units
Beginning inventory= 610 units
Desired ending inventory= 110 units
First, we need to calculate the production required:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 39,000 + 110 - 610
Production= 38,500
Now, the direct labor budget:
Direct labor hours= 38,500*2= 77,000 hours
Direct labor cost= 77,000*16= $1,232,000
The last dividend paid by Coppard Inc. was $1.25. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 27.5% for 3 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% forever. If the firm's required return (rs) is 11%, what is its current stock price
Answer:
36.38
Explanation:
The Current stock price can be calculated by identifying Present value of dividends in all three years adding terminal value of dividends in year 3.
Year Dividend Growth Dividend PV factor Present Values
1 1.25 127.5% 1.59 0.900901 1.43
2 1.59 127.5% 2.03 0.811622 1.64
3 2.03 127.5% 2.59 0.731191 1.88
3 42.987(w) 0.731191 31.43
Total PV 36.38
Current Dividend = 2.59
Rate of return = 11.00%
Growth Rate = 6.00%
Terminal value = Current Dividend*(1+Growth rate)/(Rate of return-Growth Rate)
Terminal value = 2.59 x (1+0.06) / (0.11-0.06)
Terminal value =42.987
Current stock price = 1.43 +1.64+1.88+31.43
Current stock price = 36.38

Red Sun Rising just paid a dividend of $2.43 per share. The company said that it will increase the dividend by 15 percent and 10 percent over the next two years, respectively. After that, the company is expected to increase its annual dividend at 4.1 percent. If the required return is 11.5 percent, what is the stock price today
Answer:
P0 = $39.76
Explanation:
The dividend discount model or DDM can be used to calculate the price of the share today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock under this model can be calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) / (1+r)^2 +
[ (D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) * (1+g3) / (r - g3)) / (1+r)^2 ]
Where,
g1 is the growth rate in the first year which is 15% g2 is the growth rate in the second year which is 10% g3 is the constant growth rate which is 4.1% r is the required rate of return P0 is the stock price today
P0 = 2.43 * (1+0.15) / (1+0.115) + 2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) / (1+0.115)^2 +
[ (2.43 * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) * (1+0.041) / (0.115 - 0.041)) / (1+0.115)^2 ]
P0 = $39.76
A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%. If the average monthly sales for the store is $200,000.00, what is the cost of goods sold?
Answer:
COGS= $130,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%.
Sales= $200,000.00
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
Gross margin= sales - COGS
COGS= sales - gross margin
COGS= 200,000 - (200,000*0.35)
COGS= $130,000

TB MC Qu. 6-62 Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is ... Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 18% and its fixed monthly expenses are $51,000. If the company's sales for a month are $313,000, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income
Answer:
$5,340
Explanation:
Gayne's corporation contribution margin ratio is 18%
= 18/100
= 0.18
The fixed monthly expenses is $51,000
The company sales for the month is $313,000
Therefore, the net operating income can be calculated as follows
= (Contribution margin ratio×sales)-fixed expenses
= (0.18× $313,000)- $51,000
= $56,340-$51,000
= $5,340
Hence the best estimate of the company's net operating income is $5,340

Cara Industries incurred the following costs for 50,000 units:
Variable costs $90,000
Fixed costs 120,000
Cara has received a special order from a foreign company for 5,000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $4,250 for shipping.
If Cara wants to break even on the order, what should the unit sales price be?
A. $4.2
B. $5.05
C.$1.8
D. $2.65
Answer:
Selling price= $2.65
Explanation:
Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 90,000/50,000= $1.8
Now, we can determine the total unitary cost and the selling price per unit:
Total unitary cost= (4,250/5,000) + 1.8= $2.65
Selling price= $2.65

Find the net present value of a project that has cash flows of −$12,000 in Year 1, +$5,000 in Years 2 and 3, −$2,000 in Year 4, and +$6,000 in Years 5 and 6. Use an interest rate of 12%. Find the interest rate that gives a net present value of zero.
Answer:
NPV = $2,000
IRR = 19.19%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only firms with a positive NPV should accept the project because a negative NPV indicates that the project would be unprofitable for the firm
the interest rate that gives a net present value of zero is the IRR
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow for year 1 = −$12,000
Cash flow for year 2 = $5,000
Cash flow for year 3 = $5,000
Cash flow for year 4 = −$2,000
Cash flow for year 5 = $6,000

Answer:
a) 12,500 units
b) $75,000
c) 17,100 units
d) total sales revenue $342,000
- variable costs = -$239,400

- fixed expenses = $75,000
net income = $27,600
e) 20.38%
f.1) 30%
f.2) $22,800
Explanation:
Total Per unit
Sales $314,000 $20
Variable expenses $219,800 $14
Contribution margin $94,200 $6
Fixed expenses $75,000
Net operating income $19,200
break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $75,000 / $6 = 12,500 units
units needed to yield expected profits = (fixed costs + expected profits) / contribution margin = ($75,000 + $27,600) / $6 = 17,100 units
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($314,000 - $250,000) / $314,000 = 20.38%
contribution margin ratio = (total revenue - variable costs) / total revenue = ($314,000 - $219,800) / $314,000 = 30%
$76,000 x 30% = $22,800
The monthly break-even point in unit sales is 12,500 units. The total contribution margin at the break-even point is $75,000.
c) 17,100 units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of S27,600.
d) total sales revenue of $342,000
- variable costs = -$239,400
contribution margin = $102,600
- fixed expenses = $75,000
net income = $27,600
e) The company's margin of safety in percentage terms is 20.38%.
f.1) The company's CM ratio is 30%.
f.2) The Expected monthly net operating income to increase by $22,800.

Answer:
Working capital = $ 374,000
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the company’s working capital at December 31, 2021
Formula for Working Capital
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
First is to find the Current assets
Current assets =Cash $40,000 + Accounts receivable 170,000 +Raw materials 44,000+Work in process 62,000 +Finished goods 109,000 +Notes receivable 120,000 +Interest receivable 23,000 +Investment in debt securities 52,000+Prepaid rent 40,000 (80,000/2)
Current assets=$660,000
Second step is to find the Current liabilities
Current liabilities =Interest payable $25,000+Accounts payable 200,000+Deferred revenue 28,000 (56,000/2) +Allowance for uncollectible accounts 33,000
Current liabilities =$286,000
Let plug in the formula
Working capital =$660,000 - $286,000
Working capital = $ 374,000
Therefore the company’s working capital at December 31, 2021 will be $374,000
An economy begins in long-run equilibrium, and then a change in government regulations makes holding money less attractive. a. (1.5 points) How does this change affect the demand for money
Answer: Demand Curve shifts left
Explanation:
Money is now less attractive to hold so people will demand less of it. This will cause the demand curve in the monetary market therefore to shift to the left.
Shifts in the demand curve for money are usually caused when a non-interest determinant of demand changes such as a decrease in income.

After expansion, the factory will have a production capacity of 4.200 machine hours per month. The plant can manufacture either 68 Standard electric toothbrushes or 26 Deluxe electric toothbrushes per machine hour.
Requirements:
1. Identify the constraining factor for Brik Products.
2. Prepare an analysis to show which product line to emphasize.
Answer:
Brik Products
1. The constraining factor for Brik Products is the 4,200 machine hours.
2. Analysis to show which product line to emphasize:
Product Mix Analysis
Deluxe Standard
Sale price $94 $54
Variable expense 22 16
Contribution margin per unit $72 $38
Number of toothbrushes per hour 26 68
Total contribution margin per hour $1,872 $2,584
Decision: Brik Products should emphasize the production and sale of the Standard electric toothbrushes as this rakes in more contribution per the constraining factor, i.e. machine hours.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Deluxe Standard
Sale price $94 $54
Variable expense 22 16
Contribution margin per unit 72 38 (not $36)
Contribution margin ratio 76.6% (not 75.5%) 70.4%
Number of toothbrushes per hour 26 68
Machine hours available = 4,200 hours
b) Analysis:
For Brik Products, the contribution margin per machine hour = contribution per unit x units per hour. Brik will generate a total contribution margin per product line without producing the other that is equal to the contribution margin per machine hour multiplied by total machine hours.
Assuming that Brik Products concentrates on the production of the standard electric toothbrushes alone, it will generate a total contribution margin of $10,852,800 ($2,584 x 4,200) as against the total contribution margin of $7,862,400 ($1,872 x 4,200) to be generated if only Deluxe electric toothbrushes are produced.
Zycon has produced 10,000 units of partially finished Product A. These units cost $20,000 to produce, and they can be sold to another manufacturer for $12,000. Instead, Zycon can process the units further and produce finished Products X, Y, and Z. Processing further will cost an additional $16,000 and will yield total revenues of $30,000.Required:Identify weather the tem is relevant or irrelevant to the sew or process further decision.
Answer:
1. $20,000 cost already incurred to a produce. - Irrelevant
This cost has already been incurred in the initial production and as such are classified as sunk costs. Sunk costs are not relevant to the decision on whether to sell or process the product further.
b. $12,000 selling price - Relevant
As this amount relates to the selling price were the product not to be processed further, it is relevant to the sell or process the products further decision.
c. $16,000 additional processing costs - Relevant
This is the incremental cost should the product be processed further and so is relevant to the decision.
d. $30,000 revenues from processing further. - Relevant.
As the total revenue that could be realized if the product is processed further, this is very relevant to the decision on whether to process further or sell.

Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800. Determine (a) the contribution margin ratio, (b) the unit contribution margin, and (c) income from operations.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price
contribution margin ratio= (42 - 26.88) / 42
contribution margin ratio= 0.36
Now, the contribution margin:
Contribution margin= 42 - 26.88= $15.12
Finally, income from operations:
Contribution margin= 20,000*15.12= 302,400
Fixed costs= (105,800)
Net operating income= 196,600
