Cheryl's marginal rate of substitution between apples and bananas is four apples for one banana. If apples are on the vertical axis and bananas are on the horizontal axis, the slope of Cheryl's indifference curve is
Answer:
The correct answer is: -4 (minus four).
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of "Marginal Rate of Substitution" indicates how much of a good a consumer is willing to sacrifice to obtain a unit more of another good without changing the total satisfaction of the consumer. Therefore that this term is explained as the difference between one good and the other and that is why that the concept comprehends the slope of the indifference curve. That is why that if Cheryl's MRS of apples for banas is four then she is willing to sacrifice four apples for one banana and that indicates that the slope of the indiference curve is minus four (-4) because the result is always negative because it shows the sacrifice.
Lenore, Inc. gathered the following information from its accounting records and the October bank statement to prepare the October bank reconciliation: Ending cash balance per books, 10/31$7,000 Deposits in transit 300 Interest received from bank 1,700 Bank service charge for check printing 60 Outstanding checks 4,000 NSF check of T. Owens 350 The up-to-date ending cash balance on October 31 is:_______
A. $7,940
B. $4,590
C. $8,290
D. $5,290
Answer:The up-to-date ending cash balance on October 31 is: $8,290---C
Explanation:
A bank Reconciliation statement helps to match a company's book record to its bank record and adjust discrepancies, If any.
Here, the deposits in transit and outstanding checks fall under the bank's accounting records and will not be involved in the company's additions or deductions in the accounting book balance records.
Ending cash balance as per books = $7,000
Add:
Interest received from Bank = +$1,700
subtotal $8,700
Deduct
Bank Service charge = -$60
NSF check = -$350
Up-to-date ending cash balance = $8,290
The up-to-date ending cash balance on October 31 is: C. $8,290.
Using this formula
Up-to-date ending cash balance = Ending cash balance per books + Interest received from the bank − Bank service charge − NSF check of T. Owens
Let plug in the formula
Up-to-date ending cash balance = $7,000 + $1,700 − $60 − $350
Up-to-date ending cash balance = $8,290
inconclusion the up-to-date ending cash balance on October 31 is: C. $8,290.

Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,600,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 9.00 $ 7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $15.00 $ 17.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 4.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
A. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Total direct labor hours= 0.4*4,000 + 4.8*8,000= 40,000
Overhead= 1,600,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,600,000/40,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $40 per direct labor hour
Now, we can determine the unitary product cost.
Mercon= 9 + 15 + 40*0.4= $37
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + 4.8*40= $216
B.
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 8,000 8,000 16,000
Now, we have two different allocation rates:
Direct-labor hours= 800,000/40,000= $20 per direct labor hour
Engineer desing= 800,000/16,000= $50 per engineer desing hour
Finally, we can determine the unitary product cost:
Engineer design per unit:
Mercon= 8,000/4,000= 2
Wurcon= 8,000/8,000= 1
Mercon= 9 + 15 + (20*0.4 + 50*2) = $132
Wurcon= 7 + 17 + (20*4.8 + 50*1)= $170
You usually go to the theater to see a lot of movies. Now you are considering buying a DVD player and renting movies instead. You currently pay $9 per movie when you go to the theater but if you buy the DVD player you will have to pay only $5 per movie rental. You estimate that the DVD player will cost $400 (at t = 0) and will last 3 years. Except for cost, you are indifferent to seeing movies at home or in the theater. Assume that the cost of theater tickets and rental payments occur at the end of each month and that you use the DVD player only to watch movies. Assume that you watch the same number of movies every month. Your discount rate is 1% per month. Assume that there is no inflation. How many movies per month must you watch for the DVD player purchase to be a smart purchase?
Answer:
You must watch minimum of 200 movies per month for the DVD player purchase to be a smart purchase.
Explanation:
Let assume that you watch 100 movies in a month:
For going to theater:
$9 × 100 = $900
For renting movies and using the DVD Player:
Renting = $5 × 100 = $500
DVD Player cost: $400
Total spent in a month = $500 + $400 = $900
Therefore, in a month, the amount spent going to theater = the amount spent using DVD Player and renting the Film.
Let assume you watch 200 movies in a month:
For going to theater:
$9 × 200 = $1800
For renting movies and using the DVD Player:
Renting = $5 × 200 = $1000
DVD Player cost: $400
Total spent in a month = $1000 + $400 = $1400
Therefore, amount spent using DVD Player and renting movies is cheaper than going to theater to watch movies in a month.
It is safe to conclude that for the DVD Player to be a smart purchase by you, you must watch minimum of 200 movies in a month.
Assume the economy is at full employment but planned investment exceeds saving. Other things being equal, what fiscal policy actions would best address this problem?
Answer:
Increase taxes and decrease government spending
Explanation:
Fiscal policy is used to bring an economy back to normal.
When the economy is at full investment and planned investment is greater than savings, the best policy action would be to Increase taxes and decrease government spending. By increasing taxes there would be a fall in disposable income and household spending would decrease.
Changes in fiscal policy has effects on GDP, unemployment, and inflation. In this question this would be contractionary fiscal policy. Aggregate demand would fall and there would be lower output, lower employment and lower price level
"At the market opening, a customer purchases 200 shares of an S&P 500 Inverse ETF (-1x) at $50 per share. At the end of that day, the S&P 500 Index declines by 10%. The next day, the index partially recovers and closes up 5%. What will be the market value of the 200 share position?"
Answer:
Market Value of the 200 share position:= 200 x $47.25
= $9,450
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase of 200 shares of an S&P 500 Inverse ETF (-1x) at $50 per share
= $10,000 at beginning on purchase date.
Value at the end of the day = $9,000 ($10,000 x 0.90)
Value at the end of the next day = $9,450 ($9,000 x 1.05)
Another way to calculate the above is to concentrate on the unit price
Therefore, purchase price = $50 per share
Value on purchase date = 200 x $50 = $10,000
End of the purchase day price = $45 ($50 x 90%)
Value at the end of the day = 200 x $45 = $9,000
Next day price = $47.25 ($45 x 1.05)
Value next day = 200 x $47.25 = $9,450

b. Major discoveries of the highest-quality diamonds ever found occur in Russia and Central Asia, causing a significant decline in purchases of South African diamonds.
Answer:
1) a. 0.2 TVs , 5 bottles
b. 0.33 TVs , 3 bottles
2) Coastal realm has a comparative advantage in producing digital TVs.
Border Kingdom has a comparative advantage in producing bottles of wine.
Explanation:
1)
a. In Border Kingdom:
Opportunity cost of producing 300 bottles of wine = production of 60 TVs.
Thus opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of wine = 60/300 = 0.2 TVs
Opportunity cost of producing 1 TV = 300/60 = 5 bottles.
b. In Coastal realm:
Opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of wine = 50/150 = 0.33 TVs
Opportunity cost of producing 1 TV= 150/50 = 3 bottles
2)
From the above, it is seen that the opportunity cost of producing 1 wine bottle is lower for Border Kingdom and the opportunity cost of producing TV is lower for Coastal Realm, therefore, the country Border Kingdom should produce wine bottles and Coastal Realm should produce TV's.
g Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. At this profit-maximizing output, the monopolist will charge a price ________ marginal revenue and a perfect competitor will charge a price ________ marginal revenue.
Answer: Higher than; Equal to
Explanation:
Profit maximazation for a monopolist and a perfect competitor occurs where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
The Marginal Revenue curves are different for either of them though and this impacts what price they sell at. This is because the price the good will be sold at depends on where the maximising output touches the demand curve.
The Monopolist has a Marginal Revenue curve that is lower than the Demand Curve. Therefore the point where Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost intersect, will not be on the demand curve but lower than it. The price charged will therefore be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand Curve.
The Perfectly Competitive Firm however is in a market where Price is equal to the Demand curve and equal to the Marginal Revenue curve as well. The point where the Marginal Cost intersects with Marginal Revenue will also be the point where the maximising output touches the Demand curve so the price will be the same as the Marginal Revenue.

Gullett Corporation had $26,000 of raw materials on hand on November 1. During the month, the Corporation purchased an additional $75,000 of raw materials. The journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a:
Answer:
debit to Raw Materials of $75,000
Explanation:
In this scenario, the journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a debit to Raw Materials of $75,000. A debit is an entry recording a sum owed, listed on the left-hand side or column of an account. Therefore in accounting, since Gullet Corporation's purchase was for an "additional" $75,000 worth of raw material, they owe that money to the company and must make it up through sales that those materials should generate in the future. That is why it is recorded as a debit.

A. Different companies will use different charts of accounts based on individual company need.
B. The chart of accounts contains the balance of all the accounts in the ledger.
C. The general ledger contains all of the accounts that a company uses, along with detail of the balances in those accounts.
D. The general ledger and the chart of accounts can be ordered in any sequence because they are not formal financial systems.
Answer:
TRUE: A. Different companies will use different charts of accounts based on individual company need.
C. The general ledger contains all of the accounts that a company uses, along with detail of the balances in those accounts.
Explanation:
A. Different companies will use different charts of accounts based on individual company need.
A chart of accounts is the combination of all the accounts of an organization in an organized and structured model whose objective is to establish a codification so that there is a standardization of the company's financial information to assist the work of the accounting sector.
Therefore, each company will have a model chart of accounts referring to its activities and processes.
C. The general ledger contains all of the accounts that a company uses, along with detail of the balances in those accounts.
The general ledger can be defined as the set of all accounts held in the organization in detail.
Through the information in the accounts, the organization is able to correctly separate each one by type and carry out the organizational financial statement.
Choose an example of a type of new company you could start, and then use this company idea to answer the questions below. You might choose to open a hair salon, a babysitting service, a record store, or many other things. This can be the same type of company you chose in assignment 8, or it can be different.
a. Describe the type of company you chose.
b. If you needed to get funding for your company, would you prefer to get debt funding or equity funding? Explain why you would prefer this type.
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
1. The company I chose to operate would be Celebrity Hair Salon. The Celebrity Hair Salon is a standard salon with comfortable furnishings and state-of-the-art equipment intended to tend to the needs of celebrities. Clients are expected to make appointments for their services which the salon strictly adheres to.
2. I would prefer to fund this new business through debt financing. Debt funding entails borrowing funds from Creditors with the intention of paying back at a later time with the attached interest. Equity funding entails giving an investor a certain percentage of the company's returns thus making him a co-owner of the company. This affords him the right to make decisions for the business. Detaching the investor from this business is difficult because it requires buying him out.
I would prefer debt financing because I wish to retain sole ownership of the business. I can also go through some government agencies to obtain funds at lower interest rates. Moreso, there is a fixed debt repayment plan that I can set a target to meet until the debt is paid. Finally, I can regain my freedom after the payment is completed, thus regaining my business and not entitling me to anyone.

When a country produces on its production possibilities curve, then this country's unemployment is expected to be at one of its lowest rates, however, prices in this country are not expected to be relatively low.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
the production possibility curve shoes the number of goods that can be produced in an economy when its resources are fully employed.
if a country produces on its production possibilities curve, it means that its resources are fully employed and so unemployment would be at its lowest.

Accounts Receivable 10900 Dr
Service Revenue 10900 Cr
March 20
Cash 10573 Dr
Service discount 327 Dr
Accounts Receivable 10900 Cr
Explanation:
March 12
The provision of services on account is recorded by a debit ot the asset account in form of accounts receivable and a credit to the service revenue. The full amount/ gross amount of service revenue is recorded as we assume that we use the gross method to record the service revenue.
March 20
The terms of credit which are 3/10 means that a 3% discount is allowed by Medical Waste Services if the Grace Hospital pays within the 10 days of the service provided on account. As the Grace Hospital pays within this period, a service discount of 10900 * 0.03 = 327 is allowed.
The remaining cash to be collected is 10900- 327 = 10573
Given no cash leakage and zero excess reserves held by banks, if reserves increase by $8 billion and the required reserve ratio is 9 percent, what is the resulting change in the money supply?
Answer:
The answer is $88,880,000
Explanation:
Multiplier effect = 1 / required reserve ratio
Required reserve ratio = 9 percent
Multiplier effect is therefore;
1/0.09
=11.11
Change is money supply is increase in reserve multiplied by multiplier effect
Increment in reserve = $8milion
11.11 x 8million
=$88,880,000
So, resulting change in the money supply is $88,880,000
A stock has a beta of 1.15, the expected return on the market is 10.3 percent, and the risk-free rate is 3.8 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be
Answer:
11.28%
Explanation:
A stock has a beta of 1.15
The expected return on the market is 10.3%
The risk-free rate is 3.8%
Therefore, the expected return on the stock can be calculated as follows
Expected return= Risk-free rate+beta(expected return on the market-risk-free rate)
= 3.8%+1.15(10.3%-3.8%)
= 3.8%+(1.15×6.5)
= 3.8%+7.475
= 11.28%
Hence the expected return on the stock is 11.28%
A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 77 carts per hour. Workers receive $11/hour and machine cost was $47 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $14 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. (Round to 4 decimal places)
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places
Answer:
Multifactor productivity MFP before buying new equipment = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
Growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. = 31.49%
Explanation:
Given that:
the number of workers before buying new equipment = 5
average cart production per hour = 77
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $47
After buying the new equipment;
number of worker is now = 4 since it is possible to transfer one of their worker to another department
average cart production per hour = $(77 +4) = $81
worker's wage = $11
Cost of the machine = $(47+14) = $61
The objective of this question is to "
a. Compute the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP= Carts produced / (Labor cost + Equipment cost)
where;
Labor Cost = (Number of workers × Worker wage)
Multifactor productivity MFP = Carts produced / ((Number of workers × Worker wage) + Equipment cost)
We are to find just only the multifactor productivity(MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment.
i.e before buying the new equipment.
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (5 × 11) + 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (55+ 47)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 77/ (102)
Multifactor productivity MFP = 0.7549 carts/dollar cost
b. Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior and after buying the new equipment. (Round to 2 decimal places
Growth in productivity = (Labor New productivity - Labor Old productivity) / Labor Old productivity] × 100
where;
Labor Productivity = Number of carts produced per hour / Number of workers
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 77/5
Labor Productivity (before buying new equipment) = 15.4 carts/worker/hour
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 81/4
Labor Productivity ( after buying the new equipment) = 20.25 carts/worker/hour
Growth in productivity = (20.25 - 15.40 /15.40) × 100
Growth in productivity = (4.85 / 15.40 )× 100
Growth in productivity = 0.3149 × 100
Growth in productivity = 31.49%
During the first month of operations ended August 31, Kodiak Fridgeration Company manufactured 80,000 mini refrigerators, of which 72,000 were sold. Operating data for the month are summarized as follows:
1 Sales $10,800,000.00
2 Manufacturing costs:
3 Direct materials $6,400,000.00
4 Direct labor 1,600,000.00

8 Variable $1,080,000.00
9 Fixed 180,000.00 1,260,000.00
Required:
1. Prepare an income statement based on the absorption costing concept.*
2. Prepare an income statement based on the variable costing concept.*
3. Explain the reason for the difference in the amount of income from operations reported in (1) and (2).
Answer:
1. Absorption Costing Income Statement
For the month ended May 31, 2016
Sales $10,800,000
Cost of goods sold
Beginning inventory -
Cost of goods manufactured $9,600,000
Ending Inventory $960,000
Cost of goods sold $8,640,000
Gross margin $2,160,000
Selling and administrative expenses
$1,080,000 + $180,000 $1,260,000
Income from operation $900,000
2. Variable Costing Income Statement
For the month ended May 31, 2016
Sales $10,800,000
Variable cost of goods sold
Beginning Inventory -
Variable cost of goods manufactured $9,280,000
Ending Inventory $928,000
Variable cost of goods sold $8,352,000
Manufacturing margin $2,448,000
Variable selling and administrative $1,080,000
expenses
Contribution margin $1,368,000
Fixed Cost:
Fixed manufacturing cost $320,000
Fixed selling and administrative $180,000
expenses
Total fixed cost $500,000
Income from operation $868,000
3. The reason for difference of amount for income from operation is $32,000 ($900,000 - $868,000). It is due to fixed manufacturing cost which is included for ending inventory under absorption costing (320,000 / 80,000 * 8,000). Hence, income under absorption costing is higher by $32,000 as compared to income under variable costing.
Which of the following methodologies takes the list of desired customer attributes (CAs) generated by market research and turns them into a list of engineering attributes (EAs) that engineers can use?
A. Quality control processes.
B. Quality function deployment
C. Rapid phototyping
D. Marketing control
Answer: B. Quality function deployment
Explanation:
Quality function deployment is a very useful process to the manufacturing, healthcare and service industry that was introduced in the 1960s in Japan. It refers to the process of converting the needs and requirements of customers for a good generated by market research to actionable plans and specification that engineers can then use to create the product in question and thus satisfy the need of the customer.
When Acme Dynamite produces 250 units of output, its variable cost is $2,000, and its fixed cost is $500. It sells each unit of output for $25. If the price of dynamite drops to $10, should Acme Dynamite continue to operate in the short run?
Answer:
The firm will continue to produce in the short run.
Explanation:
Given the number of units produced by Acme Dynamite = 250 units.
The variable cost of producing the 250 units = $2000
The fixed cost = $500
The selling price = $25 per unit.
The new price after the fall in price = $10
Total revenue from the selling of 250 units = 250 × 10 = $2500
Since the revenue received is covering the variable cost and fixed cost. Thus, the firm will produce or continue to produce in the short run.
Pearls, Pearls, Pearls! manufactures and sells jewelry. The total variable cost of goods sold this month is $72,490. Variable selling and administrative cost is $22 per unit sold. If 350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month, the total variable cost reported on the income statementforthe month is $:___________
Answer:
Total variable cost= $71,940.54
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The total variable cost of goods sold this month is $72,490.
Variable selling and administrative cost is $22 per unit sold.
350 units are produced and 314 units are sold this month.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost per unit:
Unitary production cost= 72,490/350= $207.11
Now, we can calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= (207.11 + 22)*314= $71,940.54

C)
Write-down at NRV 1,060 debit
Inventory 1,060 credit
Explanation:
We have to calculate the net realizable value(NRV) for each item and compare with the historic cost:
Units// Cost /// NRV
A 1,000 $ 26 $ 32(1 - 0.1) = 28.8
B 500 $ 31 $ 34(1-0.1) = 30.60
C 900 $ 19 $ 24(1-0.1) = 21.60
D 900 $ 23 $ 22(1-0.1) = 19.80
E 800 $ 30 $ 29(1-0.1) = 26.10
We will always pick the lowest to valuate the goods:
A 1,000 x $26.00 = $ 26,000
B 500 x $30.60 = $ 15,300
C 900 x $ 19.00 = $ 17,100
D 900 x $ 19.80 = $ 17,820
E 800 x $26.10 = $ 20,880
Total $ 97,100
Total Cost:
1,000 x 26
+ 500 x 31
+ 900 x 19
+ 900 x 23
+ 800 x 30
103,300
Total NRV
1,000 x 28.80
+ 500 x 30.60
+ 900 x 21.60
+ 900 x 19.80
+ 800 x 26.10
102,240
Comparing at the entire inventory level we get the following adjustment
103,300 - 102,240 = 1,060
Suppose that two things happen simultaneously in the market for fish. First, a new technology allows fishing boats to catch more fish while using the same number of crew-members. At the same time a new study shows that eating fish at least three times a week helps prevent heart attacks. How will the market for fish respond?
A. Equilibrium quantity will increase but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information.
B. Equilibrium price and quantity will both increase.
C. Equilibrium quantity will decrease but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information.
D. Equilibrium price will decrease but equilibrium quantity will increase.
E. Equilibrium price will increase but the effect on the equilibrium quantity is unknown without more information.
Answer:
Option A, Equilibrium quantity will increase but the effect on the equilibrium price is unknown without more information, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option A is correct because the change in technology allows the person to catch more fish with the same crew. Thus, this will increase the supply, and the supply curve will shift rightwards. Moreover, the new study shows that a reduction in heart attack will cause an increase in the demand for fish. So the demand curve will shift rightwards. Here, we can see the increase in equilibrium quantity but we can not explain the effect on price due to lack of information. Therefore, option A will be right.
"A customer places an order with a registered representative to sell 5,000,000 shares of ABC stock (NYSE listed) "at the market." The registered representative should:"
Answer:
Contact the firm's large block trading desk.
Explanation:
The reason why the registered representative would contact the firm's large block trading desk is because the order is larger than what can be handled normally on the Newyork Stock Exchange (NYSE) floor. Where large order as in the above is to be sold on the stock exchange floor, such would normally be presented to the firm's large block trading desk who will now decide on how best to handle the order; hence not the duty of registered representative.
Based on past experience, the trade desk would likely hand over the order to one of ABC's stock brokers for execution because for example, Super Display Book - NYSE automated system, which is responsible for dealing NYSE listed issues, has certain limited orders they can take.
The Book of Mormon is one of the biggest musical hits on Broadway. It has received many awards including Tony and Grammy Awards. According to Wikipedia, "High attendance coupled with aggressive pricing allowed the financial backers to recoup their investment of $11.4 million after just nine months of performances." While the highest ticket price was $477, the average price is $170. What is the variable cost per ticket
Answer:
variable cost per ticket = $129.60
Explanation:
some information is missing and I looked it up:
30 performances per month
1,100 seats in the theater and 95% occupancy rate
number of tickets sold during the first 9 months = 30 x 9 x 1,100 x 0.95 = 282,150 tickets
total revenue during the first 9 months = 282,150 x $170 = $47,965,500
variable costs = total revenue - fixed costs = $47,965,500 - $11,400,000 = $36,565,500
variable cost per ticket = $36,565,500 / 282,150 tickets = $129.5959 ≈ $129.60
You write one JNJ February 70 (strike price) put for a premium of $5. Ignoring transactions costs, what is the break-even price of this position
Answer:
$65
Explanation:
The computation of the break even price for this position is shown below:
Break even price is
= Strike price - premium
= $70 - $5
= $65
The stock goes upward to $65 so you lose only $5 but it falls than the stock would be $0
Hence, the break even price of this position is $65
Therefore by applying the above formula we can get the break even price and the same is to be considered

Performance Gloves, Inc. produces three sizes of sports gloves: small, medium and large.
A glove pattern is first stenciled onto leather in the Pattern Department.
The stenciled patterns are then sent to the Cut and Sew Department, where the glove is cut and sewed together.
Performance Gloves uses tha multiple production department factory overhead rate method of allocating factory overhead costs.
Its factory overhead costs were budgeted as follows:
Pattern Department overhead $165,200
Cut and Sew Department overhead $273,000
Total $438,200
The direct labor estimated for each production department was as follows:
Pattern Department 2,900 direct labor hours
Cut and Sew Department 3,500
Total 6,300 direct labor hours
Direct labor hours are used to allocate the production department overhead to the products.
The direct labor hours per unit for each product for each production department were obtained from the engineering records as follows:
Production Departments Small Glove Medium Glove Large Glove
Pattern Department 0.04 0.05 0.06
Cut and Sew Department 0.08 0.10 0.12
Direct labor hours per unit 0.12 0.15 0.18
If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent.
Required:
a. Determine the two production department factory overhead rates.
b. Use the above production department factory overhead rates to determine the factory overhead per unit for each product.
Answer:
A.Pattern Department 57 per DLH
Cut and Sew Department 78 per DLH
B.Small glove 8.52
Medium glove 10.65
Large glove 12.78
Explanation:
a) Calculation to Determine the two production department factory overhead rates.
Pattern Department = 165,200/2,900
= 56.9 Approximately 57 per DLH
Cut and Sew Department = 273,000/3,500
= 78 per DLH
Therefore two production department factory overhead rates will be :
Pattern Department 57 per DLH
Cut and Sew Department 78 per DLH
b) Calculation of the factory overhead cost per unit
Small glove (57*.04+78*.08)=8.52
Medium glove (57*.05+78*.10)=10.65
Large glove (57*.06+78*.12)=12.78
Therefore the factory overhead per unit for each product will be: Small glove 8.52
Medium glove 10.65
Large glove 12.78
