Peggy sells pistachios and almonds at the farmer’s market. She currently prices pistachios at $7 per bag and almonds at $4 per bag. She observes that every hour, 4 people each buy one bag of pistachios and 2 people each buy one bag of almonds. Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?
Answer:
The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9
Explanation:
Solution
The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14
The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4
So,
The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18
Thus,
we solve for getting average of the two which is:
Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2
=9
Therefore p =9
Medallion Cooling Systems, Inc., has total assets of $9,800,000, EBIT of $2,050,000, and preferred dividends of $201,000 and is taxed at a rate of 40%. In an effort to determine the optimal capital structure, the firm has assembled data on the cost of debt, the number of shares of common stock for various levels of indebtedness, and the overall required return on investment:
Capital structure/debt Cost of debt Number of stock shares Rate of return
0% 0% 200,000 12.3%
15 7.8 175,000 13.1
30 9.1 140,000 14.2
45 12.1 111,000 16.3
60 15.2 75,000 20.1
Calculate earnings per share for each level of indebtedness.
Answer:
Earnings per share:
0% debt = $5.145 per share
15% debt = $5.487 per share
30% debt = $6.203 per share
45% debt = $6.386 per share
60% debt = $6.570 per share
Explanation:
The earnings per share is the monetary value of how much each share of common stock outstanding has earned. The earnings per share can be calculated by dividing the Net Income attributable to common stockholders by the number of common stock shares outstanding.
Net Income attributable to Common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividends
Thus, Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred stock dividends) / Number of common stock shares outstanding
To calculate Earnings per share at each level of indebtedness, we first need to calculate the net income at each debt level. The net income will change as interest is deducted before calculating net income.
Net Income = EBIT - interest - tax
Total debt = Total assets * weightage of debt in capital structure
Tax = EBT * tax rate
a. 0% debt
Net Income = 2,050,000 - 0 - (2050000 * 0.4) = $1,230,000
Earnings per share = (1230000 - 201000) / 200000 = $5.145 per share
b. 15% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.15 = 1470000
EBT = 2,050,000 - (1470000 * 0.078) = $1935340
Net Income = 1935340 - ( 1935340 * 0.4) = $1161204
Earnings per share = (1161204 - 201000) / 175000 = $5.487 per share
c. 30% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.30 = 2940000
EBT = 2050000 - (2940000 * 0.091) = $1782460
Net Income = 1782460 - (1782460 * 0.4) = $1069476
Earnings per share = (1069476 - 201000) / 140000 = $6.203 per share
d. 45% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.45 = 4410000
EBT = 2050000 - (4410000 * 0.121) = $1516390
Net Income = 1516390 - (1516390 * 0.4) = $909834
Earnings per share = (909834 - 201000) / 111000 = $6.386 per share
e. 60% debt
Total debt = 9,800,000 * 0.60 = 5880000
EBT = 2050000 - (5880000 * 0.152) = $1156240
Net Income = 1156240 - (1156240 * 0.4) = $693744
Earnings per share = (693744 - 201000) / 75000 = $6.570 per share
Job 397 was recently completed. The following data have been recorded on its job cost sheet. Direct materials $59,400 Direct labor-hours 1,254 DLHs Direct labor wage rate $11 per DLH Number of units completed 3,300 units The company applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $37 per direct labor-hour. Required: What's the unit product cost that would appear on the job cost sheet for this job
Answer:
$36.24
Explanation:
The computation of unit product cost is shown below:-
Unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead) ÷ Unit completed
= ($59,400 + (1254 × $11) + (1254 × $37)) ÷ 3,300
= ($59,400 + $13,794 + $46,398) ÷ 3,300
= $119,592 ÷ 3,300
= $36.24
Therefore for computing the units product cost we simply applied the above formula.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) James just received an $8,000 inheritance check from the estate of his deceased uncle. James wants to set aside enough money to pay for a trip in five years. If the trip is expected to cost $5,000 and the rate of return is 12 percent per year, how much of the $8,000 must James deposit now to have the $5,000 in five years
Answer:
$2837.13
Explanation:
The account value is multiplied by 1 +12% = 1.12 each year, so at the end of 5 years, it will have been multiplied by 1.12^5. For some investment P, we want ...
5000 = P×1.12^5
5000/1.12^5 = P ≈ $2837.13
James must deposit about $2837.13 now to have the required amount in 5 years.

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4 million, how would these accounts change in response to a 10 percent stock dividend? Assume market value of equity is equal to book value of equity.
Answer:
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
Explanation:
Given:
Retained earnings = $2.7 million
Common shares account = $4.7 million
Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million
Stock dividend = 10%
Find:
Changes in account.
Computation:
1. Change in retained earnings
Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%
Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million
Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)
2. Change in common shares account
Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)
Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)
Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)
3. Change in additional paid-in capital
Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%
Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million
Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)
A company determined that the budgeted cost of producing a product is $30 per unit. On June 1, there were 86000 units on hand, the sales department budgeted sales of 370000 units in June, and the company desires to have 160000 units on hand on June 30. The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be
Answer:
The budgeted cost of goods sold for June would be $ 13,320,000
Explanation:
Budgeted cost per unit = $30
Sales budget = 370,000 units
Less: Beginning inventory = 86,000 units
Add: Ending inventory = 160,000 units
Therefore budgeted cost of goods sold for June = (370,000 - 86,000 + 160,000) × $30
= 444,000 × $30
= $13,320,000

Answer:
Explanation:
Lerner Index = -1 / Elasticity of demand = (P - MC) / P
(1) Canada:
- 1 / Ec = (21.4 - 1.20) / 21.4
- 1 / Ec = 20.2 / 21.4
- 1 / Ec = 0.9344
Ec = -1 / 0.9344
Ec = - 1.059
(2) Japan:
Lerner Index = -1 / Elasticity of demand = (P - MC) / P
- 1 / Ej = (32 - 1.2) / 32
- 1 / Ej = 30.8 / 32
- 1 / Ej = 0.9625
Ej = -1 / 0.9625
Ej = - 1.039
Which of the following statements is correct with respect to inventories? The FIFO method assumes that the costs of the earliest goods acquired are the last to be sold. It is generally good business management to sell the most recently acquired goods first "Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased." FIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory.
Answer:
Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased.
Explanation:
First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.
On the other hand, last in, first out (LIFO) method uses the price of the most recently purchased units to determine the cost of goods sold.
On January 1, 2021, the Blackstone Corporation purchased a tract of land (site number 11) with a building for $600,000. Additionally, Blackstone paid a real estate brokerâs commission of $36,000, legal fees of $6,000, and title insurance of $18,000. The closing statement indicated that the land value was $500,000 and the building value was $100,000. Shortly after acquisition, the building was razed at a cost of $75,000.
Blackstone entered into a $3,000,000 fixed-price contract with Barnett Builders, Inc., on March 1, 2021, for the construction of an office building on land site 11. The building was completed and occupied on September 30, 2022. Additional construction costs were incurred as follows:
Plans, specifications, and blueprints .....................$ 12,000
Architectsâ fees for design and supervision ............95,000
To finance the construction cost, Blackstone borrowed $3,000,000 on March 1, 2021. The loan is payable in 10 annual installments of $300,000 plus interest at the rate of 14%. Blackstoneâs average amounts of accumulated building construction expenditures were as follows:
For the period March 1 to December 31, 2021 ...........$ 900,000
For the period January 1 to September 30, 2022 .......2,300,000
Required:
1. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022.
2. Prepare a schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022.
Answer:
Blackstone Corporation
1. A schedule that discloses the individual costs making up the balance in the land account in respect of land site 11 as of September 30, 2022:
Cost of Land = $600,000
Broker's Commission = $36,000
Legal Fees = $6,000
Title Insurance = $18,000
Razing of old building = $75,000
Total = $735,000
2. A schedule that discloses the individual costs that should be capitalized in the office building account as of September 30, 2022:
Payment to contractor for building = $3,000,000
Plans, specifications, and blueprints = $12,000
Architect's fees (design & supervision = $95,000
Capitalized Interest ($3m x14%/10 x 2) = $84,000
Total = $3,191,000
Explanation:
a) The cost of land to recognize includes the actual cost for the parcel of land, including the building which was razed. All other expenses incurred ordinarily and necessarily in order to put the land to its intended use are also capitalized. The costs for the broker's commission, legal fees, title insurance, and razing of old building were incurred ordinarily and necessarily for the land and are therefore capitalized in determining the value of the land.
b) The capitalized interest portion for the building is the interests paid to date. The contractor's fee, payments for plans, architect's fee, and interests are included as costs of the building.
Markley Manufacturing calculated its predetermined overhead rate to be 120% of direct labor cost. During June, the company incurred $90,000 of factory labor costs, of which $85,000 is direct labor and $5,000 is indirect labor. Actual overhead incurred was $84,000. Compute the amount of manufacturing overhead applied during the month. Determine the amount of under- or over-applied manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
Applied Manufacturing Overheads are $102,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads are $18,000
Explanation:
Under or over applied manufacturing overhead can be determined by comparing the actual and applied manufacturing overheads.
Applied overheads can be calculated by multiplying pre-determined overhead rate and actual level of quantity. Predetermined overhead rate is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.
In this question the predetermined overhead rate is 120% of direct labor cost.
Applied overhead = Direct labor cost x 120% = $85,000 x 120% = $102,000
Actual overheads incurred = $84,000
Overapplied Manufacturing overheads = $102,000 - $84,000 = $18,000

Milton Friedman argues that __________.
O corporations today should adopt a broader view of their social responsibilities than they have in the past.
O corporate officials have a social responsibility that goes beyond serving the interests of their stockholders.
O strict governmental controls are necessary if society is to maximize its overall economic well-being.
O a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Answer:
Milton Friedman argues that a business's only social responsibility is to maximize profits within the rules of the game.
Explanation:
Milton Friedman is known to hold an opposing view when compared to that of John Keynes about economic theory.
Whereas Milton Friedman believes that the utmost responsibility of any company is to the shareholders, the Keynesian are more consumer focused.
Milton Friedman believes strongly in free capitalism and as a result does not advocate for any company offering corporate social responsibility to the society or public.
Consider two independent firms, BU1 and BU2, which transact with each other through spot market transactions in a competitive market. In a typical year, BU1 incurs total costs of $2 million in producing goods that BU2 buys. BU2 would be willing to pay up to $7.5 million for these goods, but because of the competitive market, ends up paying $5 million. What is the value captured by BU1 from these transactions?
Answer:
Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Explanation:
Given:
Two firm = BU1 , BU2
BU1 cost of production = $2 million
BU2 will able to pay up-to = $7.5 million

Integrate biblical insights into your discussion board thread. In what way does scripture influence our decision to work
Answer:
The labor force is the group of individuals for employment. The labor force investment rate is the proportion of labor force partitioned by all out populace of the applicable age. As per month to month work survey, the labor force support rate keeps on falling. As indicated by different market analysts, this wonder is because of the blend of segment, basic, and repetitive elements. Also, due to LFPR , the support of youth and the primary age bunch is required to decay. Likewise, the investment paces of laborers of more seasoned age are additionally anticipated to increment, yet remain essentially lower than those of the prime age group. These aspects have applied descending weight on the general labor force support proportion over the 2012–2022 time period and the proportion is relied upon to decrease further, to 61.6% in 2022.
The drawn out issue of joblessness is because of repetitive and auxiliary reasons, when numerous individuals the segment organization of a nation mirrors the portions of men, ladies, and the distinctive age, race, and ethnic gatherings inside that populace. The case of the time of increased birth rates age in segment change influences the labor force investment rate. Consistently after 2000, the portion of the time of increased birth rates populace has moved into the 55-years-and-more seasoned age bunch which transfers from the principal age gathering to one with considerable lesser investment proportions, origins the general cooperation of the labor force to decay.

Suppose that the standard deviation of monthly changes in the price of commodity A is $2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in a futures price for a contract on commodity B (which is similar to commodity A) is $3. The correlation between the futures price and the commodity price is 0.9. What hedge ratio should be used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A
Answer:
0.6
Explanation:
Correlation r = 0.9,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity A, σA = 2,
Standard deviation of monthly change in price of commodity B, σB = 3
The hedge ratio will be calculated using the formula
Hedge ratio=r×σA÷σB
Hedge ratio=0.9×2÷3
Hedge ratio = 0.6
Therefore, the hedge ratio used when hedging a one month exposure to the price of commodity A is 0.6.

Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be
Answer:
The present value of the cash payment is $20
Explanation:
The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.
The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor
discount factor=1/(1+r)^n
where is the rate of time preference of 5%'
n is 1 i.e in one year's time
total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21
discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238
present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20

Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 300 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 240 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Assume the project has no residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. Round to two places
Answer:
42,51%
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = Average Profits / Average Investment
Calculation of Average Profits
Average Profit = Sum of Profits / Number of Years
= (300,000+290,000+240,000×8)/10
= $2,510,000 / 8
= $313,750
Calculation of Average Investment
Average Investment = Initial Investment + Scrape Value / 2
= $1,476,000/2
= $738,000
Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) = $313,750/$738,000×100
= 42,51%

At the beginning of 2020, Vaughn Company acquired a mine for $1,965,400. Of this amount, $115,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,010,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Vaughn incurred $195,500 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $46,000. During 2020, 2,433,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,081,000 of these units were sold.
Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
Answer:
$462,270.00
Explanation:
The first task is to determine the depletion rate per unit of ore extracted from the mine.
depletion rate=total cost the mine/total units of ore extract
total cost of mine=acquisition cost-land value+development costs+removal cost
total cost of mine=$1,965,400-$115,000+$195,500+$46,000=$2,091,900.00
total units of ore extract is 11,010,000 units
depletion rate= 2,091,900.00/11,010,000=$0.19 per unit of ore
depletion amount in 2020=depletion rate*ore extracted in 2020=2,433,000*$0.19 =$462,270.00
Answer:
$408,903
Explanation:
Depletion is an estimated cost of a natural resource that is extracted. This resource is expensed as the extraction is made.
As per given data
Total Payment = $1,965,400
Land Value = $115,000
Value of Rights = $1,965,400 - $115,000 = $1,850,400
Estimated resources = 11,010,000 units
Resources extracted in the period = 2,433,000 units
Depletion expense is based on ratio of the amount of extraction in period to the total expected resource.
Depletion Expense = $1,850,400 x 2,433,000 / 11,010,000 units = $408,903
