Answer:
Sloan Corporation
Differential Analysis:
Cost of Alternative 1 (Lease) - $1,460.00
Cost of Alternative 2 (Buy) = $1,332.50
Choose Alternative 2, purchase the equipment, and there will be a cost saving of $127.50 per year.
Explanation:
Buy Decision:
Cost of purchase = $3,040
Freight-in 610
Total cost $3,650
Annual equipment cost = $912.50
Annual Repair cost = 420.00
Total annual cost to buy = $1,332.50
Cost of Lease per year = $1,460
Sloan Corporation's differential analysis of the lease or buy decision shows that it would be more profitable to purchase the equipment than to lease. With a purchase decision, the cost savings will be $127.50 per year. By undertaking this differential analysis, Sloan Corporation is able to determine the alternative that will serve its best interest, especially in terms of cost.
Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,600 $250 Securities $1,000 Capital (owners' equity) $150 Reserves$200 Deposits Loans $800 Debt Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
This would increase the reserves account and ______ the ______ account.
This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of __________ to a new value of_______
Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?
a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
b. A minimum leverage ratio for all banks.
c. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.
Answer:
1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.
Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.
2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.
The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).
Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;
= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150
= 13.33
After the $100 was borrowed
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150
= 14.
3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.
McCall Corporation has a capital structure consisting of 55 percent common equity, 30 percent debt, and 15 percent preferred stock. Any debt issues would have a pre-tax cost of 9.5%. Preferred stock can be issued for a cost of 11.5%. Common equity can be issued, but flotation costs of $4.25 per share of common stock would be paid. McCall common stock is currently selling in the market at $65 per share. McCall recently paid a dividend of $4 per share and company earnings and dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 8% indefinitely. McCall has a marginal tax rate of 35% and the firm wants to keep its current capital structure. If the firm needs to raise additional equity, what will be the firm's cost of capital?
Answer:
WACC = 12.14%
Explanation:
Cost of debt = 9.5% x (1 - 35%) = 6.175%
Cost of preferred stock = 11.5%
Cost of equity (Re) = {D₁ / [P₀(1 - F)]} + g
Re = {($4.25 x 1.08) / [$65 x (1 - $4.25/$65)]} + 8% = ($4.59 / $60.75) + 8% = 15.56%
WACC = (15.55% x 0.55) + (6.175% x 0.30) + (11.5% x 0.15) = 8.56% + 1.85% + 1.73% = 12.14%

Cost of common stock: Whitewall Tire Co. just paid a $1.60 dividend on its common shares. If Whitewall is expected to increase its annual dividend by 2 percent per year into the foreseeable future and the current price of Whitewall common shares is $11.66, what is the cost of common stock for Whitewall
Answer:
Cost of common stock for Whitewall is 16.00%
Explanation:
Ke = D1 / Price +g
D1 = Ke (Price + g)
D1 = $1.60 * (1+0.02)
D1 = $1.60 * (1.02)
D1 = $1.632
Ke = D1 / Price +g
We solve for Current dividend to derive the Cost of common stick
Ke = 1.632 / (11.66) + 2%
Ke = 1.632 / 11.66 + 0.02
Ke = 0.139966 + 0.02
Ke = 0.159966
Ke = 15.9966%
Ke = 16.00%
The standard overhead applied is based on the ______ level of activity multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate.
Answer: actual level
Explanation:
It should be noted that when determining the standard overhead cost rate, overhead costs have to be grouped into the fixed cost and the variable costs.

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.65 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.35. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is .
Answer:
Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65
Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.
MPC is calculated as follows,
MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income
MPC = 0.65 / 1
MPC = 0.65
To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,
Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)
k = 1 / (1 - 0.65)
k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
The marginal propensity to consume is a measure in economics that quantifies induced consumption, or the idea that private expenditure grows in tandem with disposable income.
The spending power is the amount of expendable cash spent on consumption by individuals.
The answers to the questions in the context are:
Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65
Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
The proportion of extra discretionary income spent by the customer is defined as the level of consumption (MPC).
It's a statistic for measuring induced consumption, or how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of an increase in income.
MPC is calculated as follows,
MPC = [tex]\frac{\text{Change in consumer spending}}{\text{change in income}}[/tex]
MPC = 0.65 / 1
MPC = 0.65
To calculate the multiplier:
Multiplier or k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-MPC}[/tex]
k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-0.65}[/tex]
k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
Therefore,
Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65
Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

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
Phoenix Agency leases office space for $7,000 per month. On January 3, Phoenix incurs $65,000 to improve the leased office space. These improvements are expected to yield benefits for 8 years. Phoenix has 5 years remaining on its lease. Compute the amount of expense that should be recorded the first year related to the improvements.
Answer:
$13,000
Explanation:
The computation of the expense recorded in the first year is shown below:
Here the leasehold improvement should be depreciation by considering the lease term left or the estimated useful life whichever is lesser
Now the depreciation expense is
= Improvement cost ÷ lease term left
= $65,000 ÷ 5 years
= $13,000
hence, the amount of expense for the first year is $13,000
A profit maximizing firm selects output such that A. average profit is maximized. B. total profit is maximized. C. marginal profit is maximized. D. Both A and B.
Answer:
B. total profit is maximized.
Explanation:
This is explained to be the long run or the short run process in which a firm is seen to determine the cost of sales revenue of the said firm this can be directly explained to be in the duration of a year. Economic models have explained to us that in various forms of market structure such as perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, microeconomic theory is seen to detail extensively the determination of price and output by assuming that firm’s aim is to maximise current or short run profits. This model of profit maximizing approach also are seen to directly select output on the basis that total output is maximized.
The firm's profit-maximizing output level is \(q = \frac{1}{4}\). The profit-maximizing output level for a monopolistic firm can be determined by setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost.
To find the firm's marginal revenue, we need to calculate the derivative of the demand function. The derivative of the demand function \(Q(p) = 100 - 2p\) with respect to price \(p\) is \(\frac{dQ}{dp} = -2\). This derivative represents the rate at which quantity demanded changes with respect to price.
Since the monopolistic firm is the sole producer in the market, the market demand is equal to the firm's demand. Thus, the firm's marginal revenue (\(MR\)) is given by \(MR = \frac{dQ}{dp} = -2\).
To find the firm's marginal cost (\(MC\)), we need to calculate the derivative of the cost function. The derivative of the cost function \(C(q) = 100 + 4q^2\) with respect to quantity \(q\) is \(\frac{dC}{dq} = 8q\). This derivative represents the rate at which cost changes with respect to quantity.
Setting \(MR = MC\), we have \(-2 = 8q\). Solving for \(q\), we get \(q = -\frac{2}{8} = -\frac{1}{4}\).
Since quantity cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and take the positive value, \(q = \frac{1}{4}\).

Answer:
Correct Answer:
c. there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility.
Explanation:
The cost recovery method of revenue recognition is a concept in accounting that refers to a method in which a business does not recognize income related to a sale until the cash collected exceeds the cost of the good or service sold. When a situation present itself where there is no reasonable basis for estimating collectibility, it justifies the use of the cost recovery method of revenue and profit recognition.

Answer: $75,000
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is what an individual, firm or the government has to forgo when another different choice is made.
From the question, we are informed that Farris Company is considering a cash outlay of $500,000 for the purchase of land, which it could lease for $40,000 per year and that alternative investments are available that yield a 15% return.
Then the opportunity cost of the purchase of the land will be:
= $500,000 × 15%
= $500,000 × 0.15
= $75,000
A company believes that its product will exhibit network effects if enough consumers begin to use it. How might this company decide to price its product? Offer the product for free early on, and increase the price later.
Answer: a. Offer the product for free early on, and increase the price later
Explanation:
When a product is said to have a network effect, what it means is that the product gets more value as more people use it. For example Whtsapp which is only such an effective means of communication because more and more people are getting it. If people did not get it, it would not be such a good medium and would be valued less.
If a company wants to price such a product, they should charge at lower rates first which would entice more people to use the product thereby giving the product more value. As the product value increases, the price can then increase to reflect this increased value.
The labor cost to produce a certain item is $8.50 per hour. Job setup costs $50 and material costs are $20 per unit. The item can be purchased for $88.50 per unit. The learning rate is 90 percent. Overhead is charged at a rate of 50 percent of labor, materials, and setup costs.
Required:
a. Determine the average unit cost for 20 units, given that the first unit took 5 hours to complete.
b. What is the minimum production quantity necessary to make production cost less than purchase cost?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Setup cost =$50
Material cost = $20
= $20×$20
= $400
Purchased cost = $88.50
Learning rate (P) = 90%
Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 20 units is
= 5×14.608
= $73.04
The value 14.608 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 20 units at the rate of 90% is 14.608. Hence, the labor cost for the production of 20 units will be calculated using the following method.
Cost of labor for production of 20 units
= 8.50×73.04
= $620.84
Hence,
In the problem, it has been given that the overhead cost is 50% of the labor material, and setup cost. Hence,
= 50/100 (620.84+50+400)
= 0.5×(1070.84)
= $535.42
Hence total cost
$535.42 +$1070.84
=$ 1606.26
Hence, the cost of production of 20 units is calculated by the following method.
= $1606.26÷20
=$80.313
Therefore, the unit cost is $80.313/unit.
Ans B:
The minimum production quantity important to make the production cost less than the purchase cost is calculated by the trial-and-error method. Now, let's take average unit cost when the 10 units are produced.
Setup cost =$50
Material cost = $20
= $20×$10
= $200
Labor cost is $8.50, and it requires 5 hours to produce the first unit. Total time required for the production of 10 units is
=5×7.994
= $39.97
The value 7.994 is the total time factor which has been taken from table 7S.1 and the time required for the production of 10 units at the rate of 90% is 7.994. Therefore, the labor cost for the production of 10 units will be calculated by the following method.
The cost of production of 20units
8.50×7.994×5
= $339.745
If the price that determined where marginal revenue equaled marginal cost were below the bottom of the average variable cost curve, then the profit-maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm would
Answer: c. shut down because it would cost more to produce and sell output than it would to shut down and lose all fixed costs.
Explanation:
The profit maximizing, monopolistically competitive firm maximises profit at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal costs.
If this point is below Average variable costs then that means that the company is not making enough to cover its variable costs. Should this be the case then the company should shutdown operations because variable costs are only there when the company is producing. If they shutdown then they will no longer incur them which would be the cheaper option.
They would take losses on the fixed costs but these have already been incurred so it would be better to lose the fixed costs than continue to make losses on variable costs.

= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90
= 88.05
Composite score for B is
= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96
= 90.91
Composite score for C is
= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95
= 87.90
Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C

Vaughn Manufacturing is constructing a building. Construction began in 2020 and the building was completed 12/31/20. Vaughn made payments to the construction company of $3114000 on 7/1, $6456000 on 9/1, and $5950000 on 12/31. Weighted-average accumulated expenditures were
Answer:
$3,709,000
Explanation:
7/1 Time weighted amount = $3,114,000 * 6/12 = $1,557,000
9/1 Time weighted amount = $6,456,000 * 4/12 = $2,152,000
12/31 Time weighted amount = $5,950,000 * 0/12 = $0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = 7/1 Time weighted amount + 9/1 Time weighted amount + 12/31 Time weighted amount
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $1,557,000 + $2,152,000 + 0
Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $3,709,000
In Macroland autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, planned investment is fixed at 50, government purchases are fixed at 150, and net exports are fixed at 20. Planned aggregate expenditure equals:________a.1,000. b.1,160. c.1,280. d.1,440.
Answer:
b) $1,160
Explanation:
From the above information,
I=Investment = 50
G=Government expenditure = 150
X=Net export = 20
a=autonomous consumption = 100
b=Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75
Y=Equilibrium GDP
C = consumption ;
C = 100 + 0.75Y (Y income - 40 taxes)
Planned aggregate expenditure (PAE)
PAE = C + l +G +X
Substituting for C in the above equation,
PAE = 100 + 0.75 (Y - 40) + 50 + 150+ 20
= 100 + 0.75Y -30 + 50 + 150 + 20
= 290 + 0.75Y
Since short run exists when Y = PAE
Therefore,
Y = 290 + 0.75Y
Collect like terms
Y - 0.75Y = 290
0.25Y =290
Y = 290/0.25
Y = 1,160
Which of the following represents a difference in the process by which a monopolistic competitor and a monopolist make their respective decisions about quantity and price?a. only the monopolist competitor faces a downward-sloping demand curve.b. the monopolist's perceived demand curve is market demandc. the monopolist competitor's perceived demand curve is market demandd. a monopolist need not fear entry and also selection b above
Answer:
a monopolist need not fear entry and also selection b above
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
examples of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there is usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is an utility company
Byrd Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Byrd uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 135,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $877,500 comprised of $337,500 of variable costs and $540,000 of fixed costs. Byrd applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours.
During the current year, Byrd produced 78,100 putters, worked 87,600 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $152,295 and fixed overhead costs of $452,650.
Required:
Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hours= 135,000
Estimated varaible overhead= $337,500
Estimated fixed overhead= $540,000
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Variable:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 337,500/135,000= $2.5 per direct labor hour
Fixed:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 540,000/135,000= $4 per direct labor hour
Stock splits can be used to: C) increase the par value per share while decreasing the market price per share. A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range B) decrease a company's excess cash thereby lowering agency costs. E) adjust the debt-equity ratio to its preferred level D) increase the total equity of a firm.
Answer:
A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range
Explanation:
A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.
for example if a company has 6 million shares outstanding at a price of $10, earning per share is $1 and dividend per share is $2. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :
the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 6 million = 12 million
stock price becomes = $10 / 2 =$5
earning per share = $1 / 2 = $0.50
dividend per share = $2 / 2 = $1
After a stock split, the price of the shares falls. so it can be used to adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range.
A stock split doesn't affect the balances in shareholders equity account.
Stock split doesn't affect the cash holdings of the firm.
Market capitalisation doesn't change after a split, so stock value doesn't change.
