Minden Company introduced a new product last year for which it is trying to find an optimal selling price. Marketing studies suggest that the company can increase sales by 5,000 units for each $2 reduction in the selling price. The company’s present selling price is $93 per unit, and variable expenses are $63 per unit. Fixed expenses are $830,700 per year. The present annual sales volume (at the $93 selling price) is 25,500 units.
Required:
1. What is the present yearly net operating income or loss?
2. What is the present break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?
3. Assuming that the marketing studies are correct, what is the maximum annual profit that the company can earn? At how many units and at what selling price per unit would the company generate this profit?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The present yearly net operating loss is $65,700

2. Break even point in unit sales is 27,690 units, in dollars sales $2,575,170.00

3. The maximum annual profit that the company can earn is $23,300, at 30,500 units with a selling price per unit of $91

Explanation:

At breakeven point, the cost and revenue of the company are same such that the company neither a profit nor a loss. Operating profit or loss is the difference between the revenue and the cost of the company.

The cost of the company usually consist of the fixed and variable elements.

Given that the company’s present selling price is $93 per unit, and variable expenses are $63 per unit. Fixed expenses are $830,700 per year with present annual sales volume (at the $93 selling price) is 25,500 units

Hence the operating profit or (loss)

= $93 * 25,500 - ($63 * 25,500 + $830,700)

= $765,000 - $830,700

= ($65,700)

A loss of $65,700

Break even point in unit sales = Fixed costs / (Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit)

= $830,700 / ($93 - $63)

= $830,700 / $30

= 27,690 units

In dollar sales

= $93 * 27,690

= $2,575,170.00

if the marketing studies are correct then the new selling price per unit will be

= $93 - $2

= $91

The units sold will be

= 5000 +  25,500

= 30,500 units

The maximum profit to be made

= $91 * 30,500 - ($63 * 30,500 + $830,700)

= $854,000 - $830,700

= $23,300

2. Walco

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine the receivables turnover ratio and the average collection period for WalCo, TarMart and CostGet

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TURNOVER

Using this formula

Accounts Receivable Turnover=Net Sales/Average Accounts receivable

Walco=$ 303,427/($ 1,625+2,572)/2

Walco=$ 303,427/$2,098.5

Walco =144.59 Times

Tarmart= 48,878/(5,216 + 5744)/2

Tarmart= 48,878/5480

Tarmart= 8.9 Times

Costget= 49,963/(439 + 475)/2

Costget= 49,963/457

Costget= 109.33 Times

Therefore the receivables turnover ratio is :

Walco 144.59 Times

Tarmart 8.9 Times

Costget 109.33 Times

AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD

Using this formula

Average collection period=Average Collection Period

365 /Receivables turnover ratio

A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $9.51 growing at 1.75%. The discount rate is 9.14%. What should be the current stock price

Answers

Answer:

PV= $84.56

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $9.51 growing at 1.75%. The discount rate is 9.14%.

First, we need to calculate the value of the stock in five years:

PV5 = D1 / (i - g)

PV5= (9.51*1.0175) / (0.0914 - 0.0175)

PV5=$130.94

Now, the value today of the stock:

PV= FV / (1 + i)^n

PV= 130.94 / (1.0914^5)

PV= $84.56

Answers

Answer: 60% or 0.60

Explanation:

Sharpe ratio shows the risk adjusted return of an asset and then compares it to a risk-free asset to see if its returns are higher after it has been adjusted for risk.

What is the effective annual cost of skipping the discount and paying at the end of the net period for the following credit terms: 6/10, net 70

Answers

Answer:

APR = 38.829%

APY = 45.70%

Explanation:

Missing word "Calculate the APR and the APY."

Discount % = 6%

Total period = 70

Discount period = 10

i. APR = (Discount% / [100% - Discount%]) * (365 / [Total period - Discount period])

APR = [6% / 100%-6%] * [365 / 70 - 10]

APR = 6%/94% * 365/60

APR = 0.06382979 * 6.083333

APR = 0.38829787

APR = 38.83%

ii. APY = (1 + [Discount% / {100% - Discount%}])^(365/[Total period - Discount period]) - 1

APY = [1 + [6%/ / 100%-6%]^(365/70-10) - 1

APY = {1 + 0.06382979]^6.083333 - 1

APY = 1.06382979^6.083333 - 1

APY = 1.45704250704 - 1

APY = 0.45704250704

APY = 45.70%

Bethany needs to borrow $10,000. She can borrow the money at 6% simple interest for 5 yr or she can borrow at 5% with interest compounded continuously for 5 yr.

a. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 6% simple interest?
b. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 5% interest compounded continuously?
c. Which option results in less total interest?

Answers

Answer:

a. $3000

b. 2840.25

c. compounded continuously

Explanation:

a. principal amount,  p = $10000

Interest rate in the case of simple interest = 6%

Time, t = 5 years

Interest amount = Prt

Interest amount = 10000 x 6% x 5 = $3000

b. principal amount,  p = $10000

Interest rate, r = 5%

Time, t = 5 years

Interest amount = Pe^(rt) - P

Interest amount = 10000 (2.71)^(5% x 5) - 10000

Interest amount = 2840.25

c. Compounded continuously has a lower interest amount.

I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 10%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)

Answers

Answer:

$15,000

Explanation:

Value of a perpetuality = cash flow / r

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

4 + 0 (10 - 4) = 4

1,000/ 0.04 = 25,000

4 + 1 (10 - 4) = 10

1000 / 0.1 = 10,000

25,000 - 10,000 = 15,000

Tracey Sales Co. has predicted the following costs for this year for 500,000 units: Manufacturing Selling and Administrative Variable $ 800,000 $250,000 Fixed 1,200,000 300,000 Total $2,000,000 $550,000 What is the markup on variable manufacturing costs needed to break even

Answers

Answer: 218.75%

Explanation:

In order to breakeven, the variable manufacturing cost would have to be the same as the fixed costs in addition to the administrative costs.

= Fixed costs + Administrative cost

= 1,200,000 + 550,000

= $1,750,000

Variable cost needs to be $1,750,000

It is currently at $800,000 so it needs to increase by:

= 1,750,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 218.75%

In 2019, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. Variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. The same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2020. What is Teller’s break-even point in units for 2020? g

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 1,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $600

Unitary variable cost= $420

Fixed cost= $270,000

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= 270,000 / (600 - 420)

Break-even point in units= 1,500

Expando, Inc., is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $7 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $9 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $14 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $8 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $9 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $13 million. In either case, the probability of demand being high is .30, and the probability of it being low is .70. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because the current factories cannot produce these new products.
