I depreciation is $435,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary direct material cost= $11.13

Unitary direct labor cost= $7.29

A.

Total variable cost per unit= 11.13 + 7.29= $18.42

B. Fixed costs= $875,000

Production= 190,000

Total costs= 875,000 + 18.42*190,000= $4,374,800

C.

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= 875,000 / (44.99 - 18.42)

Break-even point in units= 32,932 units

D. Depreciation= $435,000

Accounting break-even point= (875,000 - 435,000) / 26.75

Accounting break-even point= 16,449 units

Steel Tariffs Appear to Have Backfired on Bush
President Bush set aside his​ free-trade principles last year and imposed heavy tariffs on imported steel to help out struggling mills in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Some economists say the tariffs may have cost more jobs than they​ saved, by driving up costs for automakers and other steel users.

Explain how a high tariff on steel imports can harm steel users.
When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce______steel and they pay a ________price.
A. less; higher
B. more; lower
C. less; lower
D. more; higher

Answers

Answer:

Steel industry in the United States of America has had its up and down over the years. this is especially going by the fact that it is cheaper to import steel from outside America than to buy those produced in U.S. However, high tariff on steel import would enable the domestic steel producers to meet their obligation as well as recoup their investments in the steel industry in U.S.

For example, most construction based organisation would prefer to buy from domestic steel producer if the price and tariff of imported ones makes it extremely difficult to purchase.

On the other-hand, the high tariff placed on steel import could also harm steel users due to the fact that, the quality of steel which they buy from outside U.S would no longer be available to them.

Also, they would be forced to buy at whatever price from domestic producers whether they had need for the steel or not due to high tariff on imported ones.

When a high tariff is placed on steel imports, U.S. steel producers produce more steel and they pay a higher price.

Beck Kubiak wishes to purchase new appliances for her home. The total cost for the appliances is $2,900. To finance the purchase, Becky must pay 20% down, with the balance being financed with a 24-month installment loan with an APR of 8.5%. Determine Becky's total finance charge and her monthly payment

Answers

Answer:

total finance charge = $203.08

her monthly payment = $105.13

Explanation:

The Loan amount = Cost of Appliance - Down Payment

                              = $2,900 - ($2,900 × 20%)

                              = $2,320

Change the APR to nominal compounding,

Using a Financial Calculator, this will be :

8.50 % Shift EFF%

12 Shift P/YR

Shift NOM % = 8.19%

Then calculate the monthly payment as follows :

Pv = $2,320

n = 24

p/yr = 12

r = 8.19%

Fv = $0

PMT = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, monthly payment, PMT is $105.13

Total Finance Charge will then be obtained from the amortization schedule from the First Period to the 24th Period and this will be : $203.08.

If an investor buys enough stocks, he or she can, through diversification, eliminate all of the unique risk inherent in owning stocks, but as a general rule it will not be possible to eliminate all systemic risk.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Buying enough negatively correlated stock can indeed help in diversification of a Portfolio and this on its own is very important as it reduces risk. The type of risk that it reduces however is Unsystematic risk. This is the unique risk inherent in owing stocks.

Systematic risk which is also called undiversifiable risk however cannot be so easily eliminated. This risk is inherent in the Market  or the Market segment in question and results from a mix of the Economic, Geo-political and Financial factors in the market. As such, it will not be possible to eliminate all systematic risk.

Answer:

Huprey Co.

Identifying the accounting treatment for each claim as either (a) a liability that is recorded or (b) an item described in notes to its financial statements:

1. Huprey (defendant) estimates that a pending lawsuit could result in damages of $1,550,000; it is unlikely that the plaintiff will win the case.a. A liability that is recorded.

b. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

2. Huprey faces a loss on a pending lawsuit that it is unlikely to lose; the amount is reasonably estimable.

a. An item described in notes to its financial statements. b. A liability that is recorded.

3. Huprey faces a probable loss on a pending lawsuit; the amount is reasonably estimable.a. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

b. A liability that is recorded.

Explanation:

Huprey Co. will recognize and record contingent liabilities in its accounts when it can be reasonably established that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The implication is that Huprey Co. must establish two things before a contingent liability is recognized and recorded.  One is that the probability or the likelihood or the chance that the event will happen exists and can be estimated.  With the probability estimate, it becomes possible for Huprey Co. to also estimate the amount that the happening of the event will cost it.

The ______ rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund

Answers

Answer:

nominal

Explanation:

There is a nominal rate that is the interest rate stated on a loan without taking into account the inflation or the compounding of interests and a real rate that is the one that is adjusted to reflect the real cost of the loan to the borrower. According to this, the answer is that the nominal rate of interest is the actual rate charged by the supplier and paid by the demander of fund because this is the rate that is stated when taking a loan.

Two mutually exclusive projects have an initial cost of $60,000 each. Project A produces cash inflows of $30,000, $37,000, and $20,000 for Years 1 through 3, respectively. Project B produces cash inflow of $80,000 in Year 2 only. The required rate of return is 10 percent for Project A and 11 percent for Project B. Which project(s) should be accepted and why

Answers

Answer:

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

Explanation:

Net present value van be used to determine which project should be accepted.

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

For project A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $37,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $20,000

I = 10%

NPV = $12,877.54

For project B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $0

Cash flow in year 2 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $0

I = 11%

NPV = $4,929.79

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Required: Compute total costs to be incurred for a week with 2,770 units of activity. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Total cost___________

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $123,525

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs: supervisor's salary $1,200; factory rent $2,900

Mixed costs: utilities $1,700+ $5.75 per unit

Variable costs per unit manufacturing labor wages $21.00; supplies used in production $9.00; packaging cost $2.75, warranty cost $4

We need to determine the total cost of 2,770 units:

Total variable cost= 5.75*2,770 + 21*2,770 + 9*2,770 + 2.75*2,770 + 4*2,770

Total variable cost= $117,725

Total fixed costs= 1,200 + 2,900 + 1,700= $5,800

Total cost= 117,725 + 5,800= $123,525

Last year, you purchased a stock at a price of $78.00 a share. Over the course of the year, you received $2.70 per share in dividends and inflation averaged 3.2 percent. Today, you sold your shares for $82.20 a share. What is your approximate real rate of return on this investment?

Answers

Answer:

5.65%

Explanation:

Last year a stock of $78.00 was bought

During the period of one year $2.70 was received in dividend and inflation averaged 3.2%

Today the shares was sold for $82.20

The first step is to calculate the nominal return

= ($82.20-$78.00+$2.70)/$78.00

= 6.9/78

= 0.0885×100

= 8.85%

Therefore, the approximate real rate can be calculated as follows

= 8.85%-3.2%

= 5.65%

Hence the approximate real rate of return on this investment is 5.65%

You're about to buy a new car for $10,000. The dealer offers you a one-year loan where you pay $860.66 every month for the next 12 months. Since you pay $860.66 * 12 = $10,328 in total, the dealer claims that the loan's annual interest rate is (10,328-10,000)/10,000 = 3.28%. What is the actual effective annual rate?

Answers

Answer:

The actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.

Explanation:

Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to an interest rate has been adjusted for compounding over specified period of time.

Effective annual rate can therefore be described as the interest rate that paid to an investor in a year after compounding has been adjusted for.

Effective annual rate can be computed using the following formula:

EAR = [(1 + (i / n))^n] - 1 .............................(1)

Where;

i = Annual interest rate claimed by the dealer = 3.28%, or 0.0328

n = Number of compounding periods or months = 12

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

EAR = [(1 + (0.0328 / 12))^12] - 1 = 0.0332976137123635

EAR = 0.0333, or 3.33% approximately.

Therefore, the actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.

Craig's Car Wash Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's discounted payback?
WACC: 10.00%
Year : Cash flows
0 : -$900
1 : $500
2 : $500
3 : $500

Answers

Answer:

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes  the present value of net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost  

To work out the discounted payback period, we will compute present value of the cash inflow and then determine how long it will take for the sum to be equal to the initial cost. This is done as follows:

Year          Cash flow    DF             Present value                

0              900    ×          1        =     900                

1               500     ×      1.1^(-1)   =     454.55

2             500     ×      1.1^(-2)    =    413.22

2             500     ×      1.1^(-3)   =      375.66

Total PV for 2 years = 454.55  +  413.22 = 867.77

Balance of cash flow remaining to equal 900 = 900 -867.77  = 32.23

Discounted payback period = 32.23 /375.66 × 12 months

                                               = 2 years 1 month

Discounted payback period= 2 years 1 month

             

Which of these inventory changes would be accounted for prospectively? Select one: a. FIFO to LIFO, but not LIFO to FIFO b. LIFO to FIFO, but not FIFO to LIFO c. Both FIFO to LIFO and LIFO to FIFO d. Neither FIFO to LIFO nor LIFO to FIFO

Answers

Answer: a. FIFO to LIFO, but not LIFO to FIFO

Explanation:

Well the inventory changes which would likely be accounted for is the FIFO ( first in first out system ) to LIFO ( last in first out system ). But not the LIFO ( last in first out )  to FIFO ( first in first out ). This system are mostly used in sales where for FIFO the first goods to arrive leaves first and for LIFO the opposite of FIFO

The 7 percent bonds issued by Modern Kitchens pay interest semiannually, mature in eight years, and have a $1,000 face value. Currently, the bonds sell for $987. What is the yield to maturity? B) 6.92 percent D) 7.22 percent A) 6.97 percent C) 6.88 percent E) 7.43 percent

Answers

Answer:

The answer is D. 7.22 percent

Explanation:

Interest payments are being made semiannually, this means it is being paid twice in a year

N(Number of periods) = 16 periods ( 8 years x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $987

PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 16; PV = -987 ; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 3.61

3.61 percent is the Yield-to-maturity for semiannual

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 7.22 percent (3.61 percent x 2)

Greater pricing power is most likely to result from greater:A. unused capacity.B. market concentration.C. volatility in market share.

Answers

Answer:

B. market concentration

Explanation:

The answer is that greater pricing power is most likely to result from greater market concentration because this means that there are few competitors in the market which allows to have more power to establish prices.

The other options are not right because unused capacity indicates that there is a lot of competition in the market which doesn't allow to have the power to establish prices and volatility in market share means that there is not a  firm position in the market that allows to have greater pricing power.

Labor productivity growth can be attributed to: a. improvement in technology. b. a decline in university attendance. c. an increase in population growth. d. a decline in the physical capital per worker.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A. improvement in technology

Explanation:

Labor productivity growth is not relevant to a decline in university attendance.

Applying the Malthusianism theory, an increase in population growth can't lead to labor productivity growth because while that population growth is potentially exponential, the growth of resources is linear.

Finally, the physical capital per worker is the quantity of equipment and input resources that are used to produce output goods and services. It has no direct influence to the labor productivity growth.

Delta Insurance Company has a surplus-share treaty with Eversafe Reinsurance. Delta has a retention limit of $200,000, and nine lines of insurance are ceded to Eversafe. How much will Eversafe pay if a $1,600,000 building insured by Delta suffers an 40 precent loss? 1. A) $600,000 2. B) $700,000 3. C) $720,000 4. D) $800,000

Answers

Answer:

Delta is responsible for insuring $200,000 / $1,600,000 = 1/8 of the building

Eversafe is responsible for 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

the loss = $1,600,000 x 40% = $640,000

Delta will pay 1/8 x $640,000 = $80,000

Eversafe will pay $640,000 - $80,000 = $560,000

in order for Eversafe to pay:

$600,000, the total loss = $685,714, or 42.86% of the building$700,000, the total loss = $800,000, or 50% of the building$720,000, the total loss = $822,857, or 51.43% of the building$800,000, the total loss = $914,286, or 57.14% of the building

Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad selling for $7. Daily fixed costs are $1,710, and variable costs are $4 per meal. With a capacity of 950 meals per day, the restaurant serves an average of 900 meals each day.Requried:a. Determine the current average cost per meal.b. A busload of 30 Girl Scouts stops on its way home from the San Bernardino National Forest. The leader offers to bring them in if the scouts can all be served a meal for a total of $150. The owner refuses, saying he would lose $0.60 per meal if he accepted this offer. How do you think the owner arrived at the $0.60 figure? Comment on the owner's reasoning.c. A local businessman on a break overhears the conversation with the leader and offers the owner a one-year contract to feed 300 of the businessman's employees one meal each day at a special price of $4.50 per meal. Should the restaurant owner accept this offer? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Nature's Garden

a. Determination of the current average cost per meal:

Variable cost per meal = $3,800 ($4 x 950) based on full capacity

Fixed costs per day =        $1,710

Total costs =                     $5,510

Average cost per meal = $5,510/950 = $5.80

b. Girl Scouts' offer of $150 for 30 girls:

Offered price per person = $5 ($150/30)

Projecting a loss of $0.60 per meal, this gives a total loss of $18 ($0.60 x 30)

Projected revenue from the offer = $150 + $18 = $168

Projected revenue per meal = $168/30 = $5.60

Actual revenue to be received per meal = $5.00

Loss of $0.60

The owner arrived at the $0.60 loss because his total costs per meal was $5.60.

c. Since the variable cost per meal is $4, the restaurant owner could accept the offer if the additional 300 meals will not increase his daily fixed costs due to lack of capacity.  If the fixed costs increase with this addition, then it may not be reasonable to accept the offer.  Based on this offer, the contribution to defraying fixed costs, given present capacity, is only $0.50 ($4.50 - $4) per meal.

Explanation:

Selling price of chef's salad = $7

Daily fixed costs = $1,710

Variable costs per meal = $4

Meals capacity per day = 950

Average meals = 900

Nature's Garden has a fixed cost of $1,710 based on current capacity of 950 meals per day.  The fixed cost may increase with increasing capacity.  This fact must be borne in mind when making decisions.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unit produced 11,000

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $150

Direct labor $450

Variable manufacturing overhead $47

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $790,000

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Variable costing:

Unitary cost= 150 + 450 + 47= $647

Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 790,000/11,000= $71.82

Unitary cost= 647 + 71.82= $718.82

Draiman Guitars is offering 110,000 shares of stock in an IPO by a general cash offer. The offer price is $39 per share and the underwriter's spread is 8 percent. The administrative costs are $350,000. What are the net proceeds to the company?

Answers

Answer:

$3,596,800

Explanation:

The computation of net proceeds to the company is shown below:-

Net proceeds = Number of shares of stock × Offer price × (1 - Underwriter spread percent) - Administrative cost

= 110,000 × $39 × (1- 0.08) - $350,000

= 110,000 × $39 × 0.92 - $350,000

= $3,946,800 - $350,000

= $3,596,800

So, for determining the net proceeds we simply applied the above formula.
