Your bagel shop uses both capital and labor in the production of bagels. In this production process capital and labor are substitutes. If you install a new oven and the marginal product of capital increases, you will:

a. reduce the number of workers you employ
b. increase the number of workers you employ
c. reduce the amount of capital you are using not make any changes since you are already maximizing profit

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option A) reduce the number of workers you employ

Explanation:

Installing a new oven is capital intensive. So, for a business person to incur an additional capital cost to aid the efficiency of production, something has to give.

In this case, where capital and labor are substitutes, installing a new oven will drastically reduce the workload thereby necessitating a reduction in the number of workers.

By implication, the cost of paying wages which is a recurrent expenditure will reduce. In the long run and if the oven is maintained, it will e a very cost effective option.

Installing a new oven also suggests a marginal increment in capital.

What is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

10.83%

Explanation:

The simplest way to determine the if we use the Gordon growth model for determining the company's stock price:

stock price = [dividend x (1 + growth rate)] / (WACC - growth rate)

dividend = $4.25g = 4.4%stock price = $69

WACC - g = [dividend x (1 + g] / price

WACC = {[dividend x (1 + g] / price} + g

WACC = {[$4.25 x (1 + 4.4%] / $69} + 4.4% = 0.1083 or 10.83%

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.

Answers

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

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

Answers

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.

Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $793,800 that would have a 9-year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $133,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $21,200. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $88,200. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to
a. 5.80%
b. 11.12%
c. 16.72%
d. 5.12%

Answers

Answer:

Simple rate of return is 5.8%

Therefore option (a) is correct option.

Explanation:

It is given that purchase cost = $793800

Company saving per year = $133000

Yielding = $21200

Annual depreciation = $88200

Annual profit = $133000 - $88200 = $44800

Net investment is equal to = $793800 - $21200 = $772600

Simple rate of return [tex]=\frac{44800}{772600}=0.0579[/tex]

= 5.8%

Therefore simple rate of return is 5.8 %

So option (a) is correct.

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

Answers

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

Answers

Answer:

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

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:

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.

Recall that:

The Reports from Bureau of labor statistics is shown as follows:

Employed people = 25 million

Unemployed people = 3 million

Discouraged workers = 1 million

Workers or Homemakers or retirees, or students = 1 million

The next step from this scenario is to find out the unemployment rate

Now,

The rate of unemployed =  (unemployed x 100 ) / labor force

= 300/28

The book income amount does not include any sales of capital assets or Sec. 1231 assets or any taxminusexempt income. Based on the above​ information, what amount should be reported as ordinary income on the partnership​ return?

Answers

Answer:

$86,000

Explanation:

A partnership is a pass through entity that is not taxed directly, but instead its partners are taxed. Even the partners' salaries are recorded as drawings, not salary expense.

The partnership's total ordinary income = book income + any donations or contributions to charities = $80,000 + $6,000 = $86,000

The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".

Answers

Answer:

Equivalent Units

Material cost = 26,560

Conversion Cost= 25,540

Explanation:

We would assume the company uses  weighted average method of valuation.

Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.

Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units

Material cost

Item                                 Unit                                  Equivalent unit

The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $74,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $19,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $9,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $31,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine

Answers

Answer:

$7,400 per year

Explanation:

Data provided for computing the annual depreciation expense is here below:-

Automated bottling machine = $74,000

Useful life = 10 years

The calculation of annual depreciation expense is given below:-

Annual depreciation expense = Automated bottling machine ÷ Useful life

= $74,000 ÷ 10

= $7,400 per year

Therefore for computing the annual depreciation expense we simply divide the automated bottling machine by useful life.

Answers

Answer:

174,250 shares

Explanation:

The computation of the number of shares to be used in computing diluted earnings per share is shown below:

Proceeds from exercise of options (a)  $369,000  (41,000 shares × $9)

Used to repurchased for common stock (b) 30,750 shares (41,000 shares × $9 ÷ $12)

Number of shares for exercised (c)                           41,000 shares

Less: repurchased shares (d)                                    -30,750 shares

Diluted common shares {e = c - d}                             10,250 shares

Add: Common shares (f)                                             164,000 shares

Total number of shares for diluted earning per share 174,250 shares

We ignored the market price of common stock as it is not relevant.

Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5000 future contracts

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company

Nowm,

The Required coverage = 500,000,000

The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000

Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000

So,

= 500,000,000/100,000  = 5000

Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

Brownley Company has two service departments and two operating (production) departments.

Answers

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

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?

Answers

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

Byron Books Inc. recently reported $6 million of net income. Its EBIT was $12.6 million, and its tax rate was 40%. What was its interest expense? [Hint: Write out the headings for an income statement, and then fill in the known values. Then divide $6 million of net income by (1 - T) = 0.6 to find the pretax income. The difference between EBIT and taxable income must be interest expense. Use this same procedure to complete similar problems.] Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary. Do not round intermediate calculations.
