Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

price-taking assumption.

free entry assumption.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is one in which different firms compete for consumers of their products. The characteristics of the perfectly competitive market are:

- products are nearly identical

- all the firms are price takers. That is they are not able to determine price independently

- buyer knowledge of information about products is perfect and available to all

- free entry and exit to the market

- resources are perfectly mobile

In the given scenario above two of these rules are not obeyed.

Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world.

So they determine the price ( they are not price takers)

Also since they own nearly all the aluminium reserves there is no free entry for new firms

When you retire, you wish to have $3 million in your retirement account. You decided to add $2,000 every quarter to your retirement account and invest to generate annualized return of 8% from your investment, how many years do you think it will take to have $3 million in the account

Answers

Answer:

43.35 years

Explanation:

Use the following formula to determine the number of years

Future Value of Annuity = Periodic Annuity x ( 1 + Periodic Interest rate )^numbers of periods ) - 1 / Periodic Interest rate

Where

Future Value of Annuity = $3 million = $3,000,000

Periodic Annuity = $2,000 per quarter

Periodic Interest rate = Interest rate x Quarterly fraction = 8%  x 3/12 = 2%

Numbers of periods = n = ?

Placing values in the formula

$3,000,000 = $2,000 x ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%

$3,000,000 / $2,000 = ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%

1,500 =  ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1 / 2%

1,500 x 2% = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1

30 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1

30 + 1 = 1.02^n

31 = 1.02^n

Log 31 = n log 1.02

n = Log 31 / Log1.02

n = 173.41

Now calculat ethe nUmbers of years as follow

Numbers of years = n x 3/12

Numbers of years = 173.41 x 3/12

Numbers of years = 43.35 years

A sporting equipment store expects to purchase $8,200 of ski boots in October. The store had $2,800 of ski boots in merchandise inventory at the beginning of October, and expects to have $1,800 of ski boots in merchandise inventory at the end of October to cover part of anticipated November sales. What is the budgeted cost of goods sold for October?
a) $7,000.
b) $9,000.
c) $8,000.
d) $12,000.
e) $11,000.

Answers

Answer:

$9,200

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the budgeted cost of goods sold for October

Using this formula

Budgeted cost of goods sold for October =Cost of ski boots + Inventory at the beginning - Inventory at the end

Let plug in the formula

Budgeted cost of goods sold for October = $2800 + $8200 - $1800

Budgeted cost of goods sold for October= $9200

Therefore the budgeted cost of goods sold for October is $9,200

Han Products manufactures 29,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is:

Direct materials $3.70
Direct labor 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead 9.00
Total cost per part $27.00

An outside supplier has offered to sell 29,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $23 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $79,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier.

Required:
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier’s offer?

Answers

Answer:

Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000

Explanation:

Relevant costs saved by outsourcing production:

Direct materials $3.70

Direct labor $12.00

Variable manufacturing overhead $2.30

Fixed manufacturing overhead $9.00 * 1/3 = $3

Total cost per part $21.00

Total savings per year = $21 * 29,000 = $609,000

Additional rental income = $79,000

Total = $688,000

Cost of purchasing 29,000 parts = $23 * 29,000 = $667,000

Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000

Northberg Company is preparing a cash budget for August. The company has $16,000 cash at the beginning of August and anticipates $126,000 in cash receipts and $134,500 in cash payments during August. Northberg Company wants to maintain a minimum cash balance of $15,000. To maintain the $15,000 required balance, during August the company must: Group of answer choices Borrow $15,000. Repay $7,500. Repay $8,500. Borrow $7,500. Borrow $8,500.

Answers

Answer:

Borrow $7,500

Explanation:

The calculation of the amount that should be required to maintain the required balance is given below:

Preliminary cash balance

= Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements

= $16,000 + $126,000 - $134,500

= $7,500

Since we have to maintain $15,000 so we have to borrow the following amount

= $15,000 - $7,500

= $7,500

​Tri-County G&T sells 145,000 MWh per year of electrical power to Boulder at ​$ per​ MWh, has fixed costs of ​$ million per​ year, and has variable costs of ​$ per MWh. If​ Tri-County has MWh of demand from its customers​ (other than​ Boulder), what will​ Tri-County have to charge to break​ even?

Answers

Answer:

$105.85

Explanation:

Given that :

Fixed cost = $83.1 million

Variable cost = $30 / MWh

Number of demand, $1,000,000 MWh

Variable cost to other customers =[(1,000,000 + 145000) * $30) = $34350000

To break even :

Total Cost = Total revenue

(fixed Cost + variable cost) = total revenue

Let amount per MWh required to break even = x (amount sold to other customers)

(83100000 + 34350000) = (145000*80 + 1000000x)

117450000 = 11600000 + 1000000x

117450000 - 11600000 = 1000000x

105850000 = 1000000x

x = 105850000 / 1000000

x = $105.85

You sold ten put contracts on Cross Town Bank stock at an option price per share of $0.85. The options have an exercise price of $39 per share. The options were exercised today when the stock price was $34 a share. What is your net profit or loss on this investment assuming that you closed out your positions at a stock price of $34

Answers

Answer:

-$4,150

Explanation:

Calculation to determine your net profit or loss on this investment

Using this formula

Net profit/Loss=(Option price per share-Exercise price+Stock price)×100×10

Let plug in the formula

Net loss = ($0.85 - $39 + $34) × 100 × 10

Net loss =-$4.15×100×19

Net loss = -$4,150

Therefore your net loss on this investment is -$4,150

Explanation:

Note that the expected return on stock A which is 12% is missing from the question as well as the standard deviation of A which is 1.00

The expected return from stock A with 100% of funds(total amount of investment) invested in stock A is the percentage invested in A multiplied by the expected return of stock  A shown thus:

expected return=100%*12%

portfolio expected return=12%

portfolio standard deviation(if 100% invested in A)=1.00*100%

Unit variable cost $ 100
Total fixed costs $980,000
The company has decided to increase the wages of hourly workers which will increase the unit variable cost by 10%. Increases in the salaries of factory supervisors and property taxes for the factory will increase fixed costs by 5%. If sales prices are held constant, the next break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. will be:__________
a) increased by 368 units
b) decreased by 368 units
c) increased by 132 units
d) decreased by 264 units

Answers

Answer:

a) increased by 368 units

Explanation:

The calculation of the next break even point should be

Existing  break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is

= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost ÷ Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

= $980,000 ÷ ( $350 - $100)

= 3,920 Units

Now

Revised Variable cost = $100 × 110%

= $110

And,  

Revised Fixed cost = $980,000  × 105%

= $1,029,000

So,

Revised  break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is

= Fixed Cost  ÷ ( Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost  ÷ ( Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

= $1,029,000  ÷ ( ( $350 -$110)

= 4,287.5

= 4,288 units

So,  

Increase = 4,288 Units - 3920 Units

= 368 Units Increase

Answers

Answer:

Selling price per composite unit= $11.3

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Madison Corporation sells three products (M, N, and O) in the following mix: 3:1:2.

Unit price and cost data are: M N OUnit sales price$12 $10 $11

First, we need to calculate the sales proportion for each product:

M= 3/6= 0.5

N= 1/6= 0.17

O= 2/6= 0.33

Now, the selling price per composite unit:

Selling price per composite unit= (0.5*12) + (0.17*10) + (0.33*11)

Selling price per composite unit= $11.3

Dunbar sold 640 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be: (Round weighted-average unit cost to 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

Answers

Answer:

$428.13

Explanation:

Note The missing word have been attached as picture below

Weighted average cost per unit = [(450*$2.18) + (370*$2.62)] / (450 + 370)

Weighted average cost per unit = ($981 + $969.4) / 820

Weighted average cost per unit = $1950.4 / 820

Weighted average cost per unit = 2.378536585365854

Weighted average cost per unit = $2.3785

Ending inventory unit = 450 + 370 - 640

Ending inventory unit = 180

Value of ending inventory = $2.3785 * 180 units

Value of ending inventory = $428.13

Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel; $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides; and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations. What is the family's accounting cost? What is the family's economic cost? Could the family's economic cost ever exceed its accounting cost? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Accounting Cost

Accounting costs refers to the explicit costs which ar the actual costs related to the business venture. In this case that would be:

= Fuel costs + Seed costs  + Equipment

= 25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000

= $90,000

Economic cost

This includes the accounting costs and then adds the implicit costs which are the opportunity costs of choosing the current business venture. In this case it is the $20,000 they could have been making working at other occupations.

= Accounting cost + Salary foregone

= 90,000 + 20,000

= $110,000

Economic costs will always be higher than Accounting costs because they include both the accounting costs and opportunity costs.

Meyer Company reported the following for its recent year of operation:

From Income Statement:

From the comparative balance sheet:
Beginning balance, equipment $12,500
Ending balance, equipment 8,000
Beginning balance, accumulated depreciation 2,000
Ending balance, accumulated depreciation 2,600

No new equipment was purchased during the year. What was the selling price of the equipment?

Answers

Answer:

$900

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the selling price of the equipment

First step

Cost of equipment sold = Beginning balance - Ending balance

Cost of equipment sold=$12,500-$8,000

Cost of equipment sold=$4,500

Second step

Ending balance= Beginning balance + Depreciation expense - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold

Ending balance=$2,000+$1,000-$600

Ending balance=$2,400

Third step

Book value = Cost of equipment sold - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold

Book value=$4,500-$600

Book value=$3,900

Now let determine the selling price of the equipment

Selling price=$3,000-$3,900

Selling price=$900

Therefore the selling price of the equipment.is $900

Suppose you entered a contract to buy your friend's iPad. Without your knowledge, it was malfunctioning at the time you bought it, and it died soon after you started using it. Your friend had recently removed a large number of applications from the iPad that were not working. Although he honestly thought the problem was with the applications and not the iPad itself, he failed to tell you about the problem. You reasonably concluded, based on your inspection of all of the current applications on the iPad, that it was functioning properly. Can you rescind the contract to buy the iPad?

a. Yes, due to fraud.
b. Yes, due to innocent misrepresentation.
c. Yes, due to mutual mistake.
d. Yes, due to undue influence.
e. No, the latent malfunction was not material, because the iPad was functioning when you bought it.

Answers

Answer:

Can you rescind the contract to buy the iPad?

b. Yes, due to innocent misrepresentation.

Explanation:

You can rescind the contract without damages or you claim damages based on the loss that you have already incurred for the contract.  An innocent misrepresentation occurs when the misrepresentation is not fraudulent nor negligent.  Therefore, you can rescind the contract or affirm it. But if the misrepresentation is fraudulent or negligent, you can rescind the contract as well as claim damages.

= $5,300,000

Assets therefore has to be $5,300,000 on the same date.

Assets = New cash balance + Other assets

5,300,000 = (2,200,000 - 200,000) + Other assets

Other assets = 5,300,000 - 2,000,000

= $3,300,000

Based on a predicted level of production and sales of 30,000 units, a company anticipates total contribution margin of $105,000, fixed costs of $40,000, and operating income of $65,000. Based on this information, the budgeted operating income for 28,000 units would be

Answers

Answer: $58,000

Explanation:

Operating income for 28,000 units = Contribution margin for 28,000 units - Fixed costs

Contribution margin for 28,000 units:

= 28,000 units * Contribution margin of 30,000 units / 30,000 units

= 28,000 * 105,000 / 30,000

= $98,000 units

Operating income for 28,000 units = 98,000 - 40,000

= $58,000

der owns a hamburger restaurant. Slider's minimum average variable cost is $10$ 10 at a quantity of 100 hamburgers, and his minimum average total cost is $15$ 15 at a quantity of 200 hamburgers. His total fixed cost is $300$ 300 . Use this information to answer the questions. What is Slider's AVC when he sells 200 hamburgers?

Answers

Answer:

$13.50

Explanation:

Average Total Cost = Average Variable Cost + Average Fixed Cost

Average Fixed Cost = total fixed cost / quantity

300 / 200 = 1.5

15 = 1.5 + Average Variable Cost

Average Variable Cost =15 - 1.5 = 13.50

Somerset Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $62 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 45% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:

Direct materials $8.00
Direct labor 12.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80
Total cost per unit $24.80

If Somerset Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 25% of the direct labor costs.

Required:
Prepare a differential analysis dated April 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase price per portable computer carrying case = $62

Unit cost of production:

Direct materials                                     $8.00

Direct labor                                            12.00

Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80

Total cost per unit                              $24.80

Unit cost of production, with overhead broken into fixed and variable:

Direct materials                                     $8.00

Direct labor                                            12.00

Factory overhead

Fixed overhead                                       1.80

Variable overhead                                 3.00

Total cost per unit                             $24.80

b) With a net gain of $39 per unit, the company should make the unit (Alternative 1) instead of buying it (Alternative 2).

Suppose you buy some stock in the Alpha Corporation at a price of $45.95 per share. 410 days later you sell the stock for $48.27. During this period you received a per share dividend of $1.20. What is your annualized return on this investment

Answers

Answer: 6.79%

Explanation:

The holding period return is:

= (Current price - Cost price + Dividend) / Cost price

= (48.27 - 45.95 + 1.20) / 45.95

= 7.66%

The annualized return is:

= ( ( 1 + holding period return) ^ number of days in a year/ number of days stock was held - 1)

= ( ( 1 + 7.66%) ³⁶⁵ / ⁴¹⁰ - 1)

= 6.79%
