Company A sells paper coffee cups to all Caribou Coffee locations in the US. Company B sells dinner plates to Applebee’s. Company A charges $1 for a pack of 100 cups and Company B charges $3 for 1 dinner plate. Tell us exactly what information you would need to determine whether Company A or Company B has higher annual revenue and explain how you would calculate these two figures.
Answer:
Company A and Company B
Determination of annual revenue:
a) The information needed to determine which company has higher annual revenue include:
i) The annual quantities of packs of paper coffee cups sold to the Caribou Coffee locations in the US for a number of years.
ii) The annual quantities of dinner plates sold to Applebee's for the same years as above.
b) The annual revenues can be calculated by multiplying the price for a pack of 100 cups by the annual quantity sold.
Explanation:
Revenue is a function of price and quantity sold. The price is unit selling price and the quantity depends on the period for which revenue is being computed.
Revenue is the earnings from the sale of goods and services. The excess of revenue over cost of sales gives the gross profit, from which expenses would be deducted to arrive at net income after adding other incomes from non-operational activities.

The elasticity of demand in Canada must be epsilon Subscript Upper Cequals nothing. (Enter a numeric response using a real
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
Oldham Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $4.00 per machine-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $87,822 per period. If the denominator level of activity is 4,100 machine-hours, what would be the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate
Answer:
$21.42
Explanation:
The computation of fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-
Fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate = Fixed Overhead ÷ Machine Hours
= $87,822 ÷ 4,100
= $21.42
Therefore for computing the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the fixed overhead by machine hours.

Offenbach & Son has just made its sales forecasts and its marketing department estimates that the company will sell 232,200 units during the coming year. In the past, management has maintained inventories of finished goods at approximately one month’s sales. The inventory at the start of the budget period is 15,600 units. Sales occur evenly throughout the year. Required: Estimate the production level required for the coming year to meet these objectives.
Answer:
Production= 235,950 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 232,200 units during the coming year.
Desired ending inventory= one month's sales
Beginning inventory= 15,600 units.
First, we need to calculate the desired ending inventory:
Desired ending inventory= 232,200/12= 19,350
Now, we can determine the production for the year:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 232,200 + 19,350 - 15,600
Production= 235,950 units
Sheffield Corp. issued $7080000 of 11%, ten-year convertible bonds on July 1, 2020 at 96.1 plus accrued interest. The bonds were dated April 1, 2020 with interest payable April 1 and October 1. Bond discount is amortized semiannually on a straight-line basis. On April 1, 2021, $1416000 of these bonds were converted into 600 shares of $20 par value common stock. Accrued interest was paid in cash at the time of conversion. If "interest payable" were credited when the bonds were issued, what should be the amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020
Answer:
The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Bond face value=$7,080,000
interest rate=11%
There are 3 months interest recognized from july to september, therefore, to calculate the amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 we would have to make the following calculation:
amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$7,080,000*11%*3 months / 12 months
amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020=$194,700
The amount of the debit to "interest expense" on October 1, 2020 is $194,700

Also, for F360($/€), the bid and ask values are: $1.48 = €1.00 and $1.50 = €1.00 respectively; the borrowing and lending values are 3.10% APR and 3% APR.
Therefore, the Borrowing rate is ($) 4.25% in $ . Thus, $1,000,000 for one year, one we owe
$1,000,000 × (1 + 0.0425) = $1,042,500 at maturity.
For the cost and price functions below, find
a. the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit
b. the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit
c. the maximum profit, P.
C(q) = 70 + 17q
p = 77 - 2q
Answer:
a) The number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15
b) The price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not giben in the question)
c) Maximum Profit = P = 380 (currency not given in the question).
Explanation:
The cost function and price per unit function are given respectively as
C(q) = 70 + 17q
p = 77 - 2q
where q = quantity or number of units
a.) the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit
Total cost = C(q) = 70 + 17q
Revenue = (price per unit) × (Number of units) = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q = (77q - 2q²)
Profits = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)
P(q) = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)
P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
To maximize the profits, we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.
At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0
Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
(dP/dq) = -4q + 60
At maximum point,
(dP/dq) = -4q + 60 = 0
q = (60/4) = 15
(d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that the this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)
Hence, the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit = 15.
b.) the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit
The price per unit is given as
p = 77 - 2q
Maximum profit occurs at q = 15
p = 77 - (2×15) = 47
Hence, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit = 47 (currency not given in the question)
c.) the maximum profit, P.
The Profit function is given as
Profit = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
At maximum Profit, q = 15
Maximum Profit = P(15)
= -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70
= 380 (currency not given in the question).
Hope this Helps!!!
A) The number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15
B) The price, p, per unit that creates maximum profit is = 47
C) Maximum Profit is = P = 380
What is the cost and price function?
When The cost procedure and price per unit procedure are presented respectively as:
C(q) is = 70 + 17q
p is = 77 - 2q
where that q is = quantity or number of units
a.) When the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit
The Total cost is = C(q) = 70 + 17q
When the Revenue is = (price per unit) × (Number of units) that is = p × q = (77 - 2q) × q is = (77q - 2q²)
After that Profits is = P(q) = (Revenue) - (Total Cost)
Then P(q) is = (77q - 2q²) - (70 + 17q)
Now, P(q) is = -2q² + 60q - 70
When To maximize the profits, Then we just obtain the point where the profit function reaches a Maximum.
When At the maximum of a function, (dP/dq) is = 0 and (d²P/dq²) < 0
Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60
Then At maximum point are:
(dP/dq) is = -4q + 60 = 0
After that, q = (60/4) = 15
Then (d²P/dQ²) = -4 < 0 (hence, showing that this point corresponds to a maximum point truly)
Therefore, the number, q, of units that produce maximum profit is = 15.
b.) When the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit
The price per unit is given as
p is = 77 - 2q
Then Maximum profit occurs at q is = 15
p is = 77 - (2×15) = 47
Therefore, the price, p, per unit that produces maximum profit is = 47 (currency not provided in the question)
c.) When the maximum profit, P.
The Profit function is given as
Profit is = P(q) = -2q² + 60q - 70
Then At maximum Profit, q = 15
So, The Maximum Profit is = P(15)
Then = -2(15²) + 60(15) - 70
Therefore, = 380 (currency not given in the question).

Depreciation by Two Methods A storage tank acquired at the beginning of the fiscal year at a cost of $80,000 has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of 20 years. a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method. $ b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Answer:
a. Annual depreciation = $3,800
b. First year depreciation is $8,000' while second year depreciation is $7,200.
Explanation:
a. Determine the amount of annual depreciation by the straight-line method.
Depreciable amount = $80,000 - $4,000 = $76,000
Annual depreciation = $76,000 / 20 = $3,800
b. Determine the amount of depreciation for the first and second years computed by the double-declining-balance method. Do not round the double-declining balance rate. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / 20 = 0.05, or 5%
Double declining depreciation rate = 5% * 2 = 10%
First year depreciation = $80,000 * 10% = $8,000
Second year depreciation = ($80,000 - $8,000) * 10% = $7,200
Exercise 24-5 Payback period computation; even cash flows LO P1 Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
1. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $520,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $150,000 + $85,000
= $235,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($520,000 - $10,000) ÷ (6 years)
= $85,000
Now the payback period is
= $520,000 ÷ $235,000
= 2.21 years
2. Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow
where,
Initial investment is $380,000
Net cash flow is = incremental after-tax income + depreciation expense
= $60,000 + $45,000
= $105,000
The depreciation expense is
= ($380,000 - $20,000) ÷ (8 years)
= $45,000
Now the payback period is
= $380,000 ÷ $105,000
= 3.62 years

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.
Calculate the overall profit.
The manager should be short on the stock index futures because the position on the equity portfolio is long.
Number of contracts required to hedge
= [$20,500,000/(1250*250)] * 1.25 = 82 contracts
Profit on the equity portfolio
= $20,000,000 - $20,500,000 = -$500,000
Profit on the stock index future
= [(1250)(250) – (1150)(250)] x 82 = $2,050,000
Overall profit
= $2,050,000 - $500,000
= $1,550,000
therefore, the overall profit is $1,550,000

Question:
(a) Garison Music Emporium is preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. Determine the amounts that will be shown on the 2010 financial statements for the following.
(1) Warranty Expense -
(2) Estimated Liability from Warranties -
(3) Premium Expense -
(4) Inventory of Premium CD Players -
(5) Estimated Premium Claims Outstanding -
Answer:
Explanation:
(a)
Given:
Warranty exp = 2% of musical instrument & sound equipment
Calculation:
Warranty exp = Warranty exp * 5,424,000
Warranty exp = 2% * 5,424,000
Warranty exp = 108,480
(b)
Warranty liability as on December 2017 = Opening Balance + Warranty Expense - Warranty Claim
Warranty liability as on December 2017 = 138,000 + 108,480 - 156,400
Warranty liability as on December 2017 = $90,080
(c)
The customer receives one coupon for each dollar spend 2,138,000 only 50% coupon will be redeemed.
Exp provision liability created = 50% * 2,138,000
Exp provision liability created = 1,069,000
Customer can exchange 200 coupon & $30 for MP3 player which is purchase for 42 that mean 200 coupon will be for 12 i.e. (42-30) value of coupon will be

Cost = 5,690 * 42
Cost = 238,980
Inventory Premium = Opening Balance + Purchases - Utilized Redeemed Coupon
Inventory Premium = 39,210 + (7,010 * 42) - 238,980
Inventory Premium = 39,210 + 294,420 - 238,980
Inventory Premium = $94,650
(e)
Premium liability balance = Opening Balance + Premium Exp Provision - Coupon Redeemed
Premium liability balance = 41,670 + 64,140 - (1,138,000 * 0.06)
Premium liability balance = 41,670 + 64,140 - 68,280
Premium liability balance = 37,530

Brownley Company has two service departments and two operating (production) departments. The Payroll Department services all three of the other departments in proportion to the number of employees in each. The Maintenance Department costs are allocated to the two operating departments in proportion to the floor space used by each. Listed below are the operating data for the current period: Service Depts. Production Depts. Payroll Maintenance Cutting Assembly Direct costs $ 20,400 $ 25,500 $ 76,500 $ 105,400 No. of personnel 15 15 45 Sq. ft. of space 10,000 15,000 The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is:
Answer:
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580
Explanation:
In order to calculate The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to calculate first the Overhead allocated to Maintenance from Payroll department as follows:
Overhead allocated=Payroll overhead×(Maintenance payroll personnel/Total personnel)
Overhead allocated=$ 20,400×(15/15+15+45)
Overhead allocated=$4,080
Therefore, to calculate the The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period we would have to use the following formula:
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=Overhead allocated+Direct overhead incurred
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$4,080+$25,500
Total cost of operating Maintenance Department=$29,580
The total cost of operating the Maintenance Department for the current period is $29,580

The Donut Stop acquired equipment for $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation and estimates a residual value of $2,000 and a four-year service life. At the end of the second year, the company estimates that the equipment will be useful for four additional years, for a total service life of six years rather than the original four. At the same time, the company also changed the estimated residual value to $1,000 from the original estimate of $2,000. Calculate how much The Donut Stop should record each year for depreciation in years 3 to 6.
Answer:
Cost of Equipment: $10,000
Less Accumulated Depreciation ($10,000 - $2,000 / 4*2): $4,000
= Book Value (End of Year 2): $6,000
Less New Residual Value: $-1,000
= New Depreciated Cost: $5,000
Remaining Service Life: 4
Annual Depreciation in Years 3 to 6 ($5,000 / 4): $1,250

A well-known financial writer argues that he can earn 148 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $12 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $12 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 9 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 148 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Calculate the EAR.
Answer:
EAR = 148%
Explanation:
calculating the EAR ( applying the formula for present value of annuity )
cost of case = 12 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.09 ) = 131.04
Pv = 131.04
cost per case = $12
no of weeks = 12 weeks
rate of the wine per ( IRR ) = IRR(57;56;55;;;;1)= 1.76319
rate of the wine per week = 1.76319%
therefore EAR = ( 1 + 0.0176319) ^52 - 1 = 148.15% ≈ 148%
Financial Crisis
Suppose that banks are less able to raise funds and so lend less. Consequently, because people and households are less able to borrow, they spend less at any given price level than they would otherwise. The crisis is persistent so lending should remain depressed for some time. Refer to Financial Crisis. In the long run, if the Fed does not respond, the change in price expectations created by the crisis shifts:
a. short-run aggregate supply right.
b. aggregate demand right.
c. aggregate demand left.
d. short-run aggregate supply left.
Answer:
The correct answer to the given question is “D – Short-Run Aggregate Supply Left”
Explanation:
While the problem is there for offering and deriving, less asset is being completed on the budget. Thus due to the lack of capital. The investment standard growing will decrease and therefore as an outcome, short run cumulative source curve will move to the left.
