Answer:
$30
Explanation:
The computation of the contribution margin is shown below:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
where,
Sales = Units sold × Market price
= 15 units × $10
= $150
And,
Variable cost = Units sold × AVC
= 15 units × $8
= $120
Now placing these values to the above formula
= $150 - $120
= $30
We simply applied the above formula

Here is the capital structure of Microsoft. What part of the $117.67 share price (to the nearest dollar) is represented by cash?
Answer: $17 (to the nearest dollar)
Explanation:
The Cash in the price of the stock price is represented by the formula;
Cash = [tex]\frac{Cash and Cash Equivalents}{Market Capitalisation} *Share Price[/tex]
Cash = [tex]\frac{127,662,000,000}{902,635,911,922} *$117.67[/tex]
Cash = 16.642355
Cash = $17 (to the nearest dollar)
The part of the $117.67 share price that is represented by cash is $17.
It should be noted that the calculation for the part of the $117.67 share price that is represented by cash goes thus:
Cash = [Cash and cash equivalents/Market capitalization] × Share price
Cash = [127662000000/902635911922] × 117.67
Cash = 16.64
Cash = $17 approximately
In conclusion, the cash will be $17

Economist C says all of the following: Expansionary fiscal policy is needed to raise aggregate demand and remove the economy from a recessionary gap. The choice of fiscal policy measures is between ________________ government spending and a _______________ in taxes. Since I am in favor of bigger government, I choose a(n) _________________ in _________________.
Answer:
The choice of fiscal policy measures is between ___increased_____________ government spending and a ____decrease___________ in taxes. Since I am in favor of bigger government, I choose a(n) ____increase_____________ in ____governmental spending_____________.
Explanation:
Government employ two fiscal measures to drive the economy toward stability. They are taxation and government expenditure. Depending on the desired outcome and the prevailing circumstances, an increase in taxation reduces the propensity to consume, thus fueling increased savings and investments. Increased government expenditure galvanizes the economy to grow and the increased expenditure acts as a stimulus to economic activities. But fiscal policy measures are not used in isolation. They are complemented by monetary policies by the Federal Reserve.
Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
Scenario: Your direct supervisor is interested in a project you are currently working on, and they have asked to increase the scope to increase the department's goals. How would you respond if your supervisor was not the project sponsor?
ANSWER:
Take down his/her suggestions. The first thing is to show respect. Accept thoughts and contributions towards that project. Most times a project "sponsor" is not someone who is a professional in the field or discipline that the project is about.
If your direct supervisor has the idea of increasing the scope of the project, take note of his/her reasons and if they will truly bring the achievement of more departmental goals, then relay the idea of expansion to the project sponsor.
Answer:
At this point, the important thing is to remain calm and in control. Your supervisor, like everyone else, is likely to get confused and blame people for things that are not their fault, or even find fault that does not exist.
In that case, you should wait for him to finish speaking, ask for permission to speak and explain how you did your job and show how your supervisor is wrong about the conclusion he made. This must be done calmly and politely, always maintaining respect.
Explanation:
Calvert Corporation expects an EBIT of $25,300 every year forever. The company currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 15.3 percent. The company can borrow at 10.1 percent and the corporate tax rate is 25 percent. a. What is the current value of the company
Answer:
Value of the company = $124,019.61
Explanation:
The value of then firm is the present value of its expected future cash inflow discounted at its required rate of return.
In this case, the earnings available to ordinary shareholders becomes the annual cash inflow while the appropriate discount rate is the cost of equity.
The absence of debt in the company's capital structure implies that the cost of equity would be the appropriate discount rate.
And the value of the company would be determined as follows
Value of the company = Earnings after tax/Cost of equity
Earnings after tax = EBIT × (1-Tax rate)= 25,300×(1-0.25)=18,975
Cost of equity = 15.3%
Value of the company = 18975 /0.153= 124,019.6078
Value of the company = $124,019.61
A buyer is getting a fully amortized loan for $220,000. The bank will give the buyer the loan for 15 years at 5 1/2% or for 30 years at 6 1/2%. To the nearest dollar, what is the difference between the monthly payments for these two loans?
Answer:
Difference in monthly payment=$407.0339
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly installment is computed as follows:
Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor
Loan amount; =220,000
Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months
First option
monthly interest rate = 5.5% =0.458 %, n- 15×12
Annuity factor= (1-(1+0.055)^(-180 )/0.055 =122.38
Monthly repayment = 220,000/122.386 = 1797.58
Second option
r- 6.5%/12 = 0.542 % n = 15×12 = 180
Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+0.00542)^(-360))/0.005 42= 158.21
Monthly installment = 220,000/1390.549 = 1390.54
Difference in monthly payment = 1,797.583 - 1390.54 = 407.0339
Difference in monthly payment=407.0339

has acquired several other companies. Assume that Patton purchased Kate for $ 6 comma 000 comma 000 cash. The book value of Kate's assets is $ 15 comma 000 comma 000 (market value, $ 17 comma 000 comma 000 ), and it has liabilities of $ 13 comma 000 comma 000 (market value, $ 13 comma 000 comma 000 ). Requirements 1. Compute the cost of goodwill purchased by Patton . 2. Record the purchase of Kate by Patton .
Answer and Explanation:
1. The amount of goodwill is shown below:
= Purchase price - the market value of net assets
= $6,000,000 - ($17,000,000 + $13,000,000)
= $2,000,000
2. Now the journal entry for purchase is
Assets $17,000,000
Goodwill $2,000,000
To Liabilities $13,000,000
To Cash $6,000,000
(Being the purchase is recorded)
For recording this we debited the assets and goodwill as it increased the assets and credited the liabilities and cash as it also increased the liabilities and decreased the assets

Assume a nominal interest rate on one-year US Treasury Bills of 4.60% and a real rate of interest of 2.50%. Using the Fisher Effect Equation, what is the approximate expected rate of inflation in the US over the next year
Answer:
2.0488%
Explanation:
Fisher Effect Equation = ( 1 + nominal rate ) = ( 1 + inflation rate ) x (1 + real rate)
= ( 1 + 0.046) = ( 1 + inflation rate ) x (1 + 0.025)
( 1 + inflation rate ) = ( 1 + 0.046) / (1 + 0.025)
( 1 + inflation rate ) = 1.020488
Inflation rate = 1.020488 - 1 = 0.020488 = 2.0488%
Accounting for pensions receives more attention in the United States (US) than in other countries. Discuss reasons that would explain why pension accounting has less emphasis in many foreign countries than the US.
Answer:
I. Lack of a proper pension system
II. Corruption
III. Lack of interest.

I. Lack of a proper pension system: Some countries especially in the developing countries have no proper pension system which makes them not to put good attention to pension accounting
II. Corruption: This is one of the main reasons why pension accounting is given less accounting in many countries of the world, as some leaders usually wants to create room to loot the funds of the pensioners.
III. Lack of adequate interest: Some countries of the world give less focus and emphasis on the plights of pensioners which makes them not to put good effort to their issues or pension accounting.
Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $60, a cost curve of C = 0.004q^3 + 30q + 1000, and a marginal cost of curve of: MC = 0.009q^2 + 25.
a. The firm's profit maximizing output level (to the nearest tenth) is ___units, and the profit (to the nearest penny) at this output level is $____.
b. This will cause the market supply to (shift right/shift left). This will continue until the price is equal to the minimum average cost of $____.
Answer:
a) q = $62.36
b) As the profit level is NEGATIVE ( π = - 99.21 ), this will cause the market supply to shift left. This will continue until the price is equal to the minimum average cost of $60.
Explanation:
Given that; the market price P = $60
The cost curve is C = 0.004q³ + 30q + 1000
The marginal cost of curve of MC = 0.009q² + 25
We know that the condition for the profit maximizing level of output is MC=P
∴ 0.009q² + 25 = 60
0.009q² = 35
q² = 35 / 0.009
q² = 3888.88888
q = √3888.88888
q = $62.36
Now we calculate profit at the equilibrium output
π = TR -TC
π = ( P × Q ) - TC
we know TC = 0.004q³ + 30q + 1000
now we substitute
so π = ( 60 × 62.36 ) - { 0.004(62.36)³ + 30(62.36) + 1000
= 3741.6 - ( 970.01 + 1870.8 + 1000
= 3741.6 - 3840.81
π = - 99.21
As the profit level is NEGATIVE, the supply curve shifts left
Average cost is the cost per unit of output.
Average Cost = TC / q
Average Cost = (0.004q³ + 30q + 1000) / q
Average Cost = 0.004q² + 30 + 1000/q
Now equate the derivative of AC with zero
i.e ΔAC/Δq = 0
Δ/Δd{ 0.004q² + 30 + 1000/q } = 0
0.008q - 1000/q² = 0
0.008q = 1000/q²
0.008q³ = 1000
q³ = 125000
q = ∛125000
q = 50
Average cost at this point will be
AC = 0.004q² + 30 + 1000/q
= 0.004 (50)² + 30 + 1000/50
= 10 + 30 + 20
= $60
As the profit level is NEGATIVE ( π = - 99.21 ), this will cause the market supply to shift left. This will continue until the price is equal to the minimum average cost of $60.

Radovilsky Manufacturing Company, in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production facility 300 days per year. It has orders for about 9,000 flashing lights per year and has the capacity of producing 60 per day. Setting up the light production costs $49. The holding cost is $0.10 per light per year.
a. What is the optimal size of the production run?
b. What is the average holding cost per year?
c. What is the average setup cost per year?
d. What is the total cost per year, including the cost of the lights?
Answer:
a. 2,970
b. $148.50
c. $148.50
d. $297.00
Explanation:
Optimal size of the production run is the size of the Production run that minimizes set -up costs and holding costs.
Optimal size of the production run = √ (2 × Annual Production Demand × Set-up Cost) / Holding Cost per unit
= √(2 × 9,000 × $49) / $0.10
= 2,969.85 or 2,970 flashing lights
Average holding cost = Optimal size of the production run /2 × Holding Cost per unit
= 2,970/2 × $0.10
= $148.50
Average setup cost = Annual Production Demand / Optimal size of the production run × Cost per set -up
= 9,000 / 2,970 × $49
= $148.50
Total Cost = Average holding cost + Average setup cost
= $148.50 + $148.50
= $297.00
Suppose that you open your own business and earn an accounting profit of $35,000 per year. When you started your business, you left a job that paid you a $30,000 salary annually. Also, suppose that you invested $70,000 of your own funds to start up your business. If the normal rate of return on capital is 10 percent, your economic profit is
Answer:
$-2000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity cost
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
if i hadn't quit my job, i would be earning $30,000. so, $30,000 is one of my opportunity costs.
also, if i hadn't started my business, i would be earning 0.1 x $70,000 = $7,000 on my capital. this is my second opportunity cost.
total opportunity cost = $7,000 + $30,000 = $37,000
economic profit = $35,000 - $37,000 = $-2000
Watson consulting, llc is a consultancy to consultants. They have bonds which have a face value of $1,000. The bonds carry a 3.5 percent semi-annual coupon, and mature in 10 years. What is the current price of these bonds if the yield to maturity (the going market rate, rd) is 5 percent
Answer:
The current market price is $ 883.08
Explanation:
The current market price can be ascertained using the pv excel function as follows:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the semiannual yield to maturity which is 5%/2
nper is the number of semiannual coupons in the bond i.e 10*2=20
pmt is the semiannual coupon=3.5%*1/2*$1000=$17.5
fv is the face value of the bond
=-pv(5%/2,20,17.5,1000)=$ 883.08
Suppose you deposit $ cash into your checking account. By how much will the total money supply increase as a result when the required reserve ratio is 0.0?
Answer:
If the required reserve ratio is 0, that means that the money multiplier will be infinite. I guess the question is incomplete.
I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
If you deposit $2,400 and the required reserve ratio is 0.4, then by how much does the money supply increase?
first we must determine the money multiplier = 1 / required reserve ratio = 1 / 0.4 = 2.5
to determine the total effect on the money supply we just multiply the deposit by the multiplier = $2,400 x 2.5 = $6,000 increase.

If a monopolist in an industry characterized by monopoly features is making economic profit in the short run, which of the following is true for this firm in the long run? (Assume that costs and demand are held constant)
a. The monopolist will be able to sustain economic profits.
b. The monopolist will make normal profit because firms will enter the industry.
c. The monopolist will make normal profit because no firms will enter the industry.
d. The monopolist will make a loss.
Answer: The monopolist will be able to sustain economic profits
Explanation:
If a monopolist in an industry characterized by monopoly features is making economic profit in the short run, then the monopolist will be able to sustain economic profits.
The economic profit is gotten when the explicit cost and the opportunity costs are both deducted from the revenues generated by a business.
Since there is high barrier to entry and the monopoly is the only firm in the market, then the monopolist will be able to sustain economic profits.

bond j has a coupon rate of 3 percent and bond k has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 13 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. what if rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instesd?
Answer:
if interest rates fall by 2%
price of bond j will increase to $756.83, price change = $756.83 - $663.28 = $93.55 or 14.1%
price of bond k will increase to $1,317.99, price change = $1,317.99 - $1,224.47 = $93.52 or 7.64%
Explanation:
bond j coupon rate 3%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%
bond k coupon rate 9%, 13 years to maturity, semiannual payments, YTM 6%
current market price of bond j:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.03 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.015(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 35.46
market value = 35.46 / 0.05346 = $663.28
current market price of bond k:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.03 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.015(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
15 + 0.015market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 65.46
market value = 65.46 / 0.05346 = $1,224.47
if YTM decrease by 2%, then:
new market price of bond j:
0.02 = {15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.01(1,000 + market value) = 15 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 35.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 40.46
market value = 40.46 / 0.05346 = $756.83
new market price of bond k:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
0.02 = {45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]} / [(1,000 + market value)/2]
0.01(1,000 + market value) = 45 + [(1,000 - market value)/26]
10 + 0.01market value = 15 + 65.46 - 0.038market value
0.05346market value = 70.46
market value = 70.46 / 0.05346 = $1,317.99

Variable manufacturing costs per unit manufactured includes direct materials DM, direct labor DL, and variable MOH $27.
Variable operating expenses per unit sold $4
Fixed manufacturing overhead (MOH) in total for the year $120,000
Fixed operating expenses in total for the year $92,000
Units manufactured and sold for the year 12,000 units
Required:
a. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using variable costing.
b. Prepare an income statement for the upcoming year using absorption costing.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
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).
Absorption costing income statement:
Sales= 12,000*54= 648,000
COGS= (12,000*27) + 120,000= (444,000)
Gross profit= 204,000
Total operating expenses= (12,000*4) + 92,000= (140,000)
Net operating income= 64,000
Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 648,000
Total variable cost= 12,000*(27 + 4)= (372,000)
Total contribution margin= 276,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead= (120,000)
Fixed operating expenses= (92,000)
Net operating income= 64,000

A company manufactures and sells two products: Product A1 and Product C4. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:
Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-Hours
Product A1 500 2.0 1,000
Product C4 200 1.0 200
Total direct labor-hours 1,200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $281 for Product A1 and $267 for Product C4. The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:
Estimated Expected
Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product C1 Product M2 Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 7,200 7,700 14,900
Production orders Orders 75,240 500 600 1,100
General factory MHs 886,410 4,400 4,600 9,000
$1,520,102
The total cost per unit of Product C4 under activity-based costing is closest to: ____________
Answer:
Unitary cost= $4,207.85
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product C4:
Production= 200 units
Direct labor hours per unit= 1
Total DLH= 200
The direct labor rate is $27.40 per DLH.
The direct materials cost per unit is $267
Activity Cost Pools - Overhead Cost - Product C4 - Total
Labor-related DLHs $558,452 - 7,700 - 14,900
Production orders Orders $75,240 - 600 - 1,100
General factory MHs $886,410 - 4,600 - 9,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 558,452/14,900= $37.48 per DLH
Production orders= 75,240/1,100= $68.4 per order
General factory= 886,410/9,000= $98.49 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to C4 as a whole:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 37.48*7,700= $288,596
Production orders= 68.4*600= $41,040
General factory= 98.49*4,600= $453,054
Total= $782,690
Finally, the total cost and cost per unit:
Total cost= 200*267 + 200*27.4 + 782,690
Total cost= $841,570
Unitary cost= 841,570/200= $4,207.85
Mr. Meyers wishes to know how many shares are necessary to elect 6 directors out of 14 directors up for election in the Austin Power Company. There are 74,000 shares outstanding.
Answer: 29,601 shares
Explanation:
When calculating the number of shares required to elect a certain number of directors given the shares outstanding, use the formula;
Shares required = ((Number of directors required)*(Total number of shares outstanding) / (Total number of directors + 1)) + 1
= (6 * 74,000) / ( 14 + 1) + 1
=( 444,000/15) + 1
= 29,600 + 1
= 29,601 shares are needed to elect 6 directors
