Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.

Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )

$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =

27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)

27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)

V = $37.25

Variable cost would increase by  : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25

Therefore for computing the foreign exchange gain or loss we simply applied the above formula.

The Pennington Corporation issued a new series of bonds on January 1, 1985. The bonds were sold at par ($1,000); had a 12% coupon; and mature in 30 years, on December 31, 2014. Coupon payments are made semiannually (on June 30 and December 31). a. What was the YTM on January 1, 1985?

Answers

Answer:

The YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.

Explanation:

The YTM is the interest rate used to determine the Present Value of Coupons and Principle and can be found as follows :

PV = $1,000

Pmt = ($1,000 × 12 %) / 2 = - $60

P/yr = 1

n = 30 × 2 = 60

Fv = - $1,000

YTM = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the YTM is 6.00%

Therefore, the YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.

A plant asset is acquired by a business on January 2, 20X6, for $10,000. The asset's estimated residual value is $2,000 and it's estimated useful life is 5 years. Management chooses to use straight-line depreciation. On January 2. 20X8. the asset is sold for $5,000. The entry to record the sale has what effect on the financial statements? a. Assets decrease, expenses increase, and net income and owners' equity decrease. b. Assets decrease and owners' equity and expenses both increase. c. Has no effect on the financial statements if the journal entry is in balance. d. Assets increase, expenses decrease, and net income and owners' equity increase.

Answers

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

From the calculation below, it is clearly seen that Assets are being decreased and expenses are increased therefore Option A is correct.

Workings

Depreciation expense = (cost - residual value) / useful life

Depreciation expense = 10,000 - 2,000 / 5

Depreciation expense = $1600

Accumulated depreication = depreciation x 2 years -= $3,200

Carrying value = 10,000 - 3,200

Carrying value = $6,800

Disposal = $5,000

Loss on disposal = $1,800

A firm currently sells $1,750,000 annually of an expensive product line. That firm is considering a similar, less expensive, discount line, and projects sales of $380,000. The discount line is expected to reduce sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000. What is the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line?

Answers

Answer:

$175,000

Explanation:

A firm currently makes an amount of $1,750,000 annually from an expensive product line

The firm projects a sales of $380,000

The discount line is expected to cause a reduction in the sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000

Therefore, the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line can be calculated as follows

= $1,750,000-$1,575,000

= $175,000

Hence the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line is $175,000

You need a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $320,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 6.15 percent APR for this 360-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $1,600, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment.
How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1,600? Please show and explain all work.

Answers

Answer:

$362,353

Explanation:

In order to answer this question I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the remaining principal balance at the end of the 30th year.

The problem with this loan is that the interests charged for the first month only are $1,640. This means that your monthly payment will not even cover the interest expense which means that the principal will grow month after month. After 360 months, your loan balance will increase from $320,000 to $362,353.

• Degree of operating leverage = $2

• Expected Percent change in income = 20%

Explanation:

Details provided from the question includes ;

Total contribution margin = $80,200

Pretax net income = $40,100

Expected increase in sales value = 10%

Therefore;

Degree of operating leverage

= Contribution margin ÷ Net operating income

= $80,200 ÷ $40,100

= $2

Percent change income

= Percentage increase in sales × Degree of operating leverage

= 10% × 2

2. The nominal GDP growth and economic growths are -10% and -15%.

3. The nominal GDP growth and economic growths are 25% and -6%.

Calculation of normal GDP growth & economic growth:

1.

Nominal GDP growth is

= (Nominal GDP as on 2050 - Nominal GDP as on 2040) × 100 ÷ (Nominal GDP as on 2040)

= ($15 trillion - $11 trillion) × 100 ÷ $11 trilion

= 36.4 %
Now

Economic growth is

= Nominal GDP growth rate - fall in price level - population growth rate

= 36.4% - (-6%) - 3%

= 39.4%

2.

Nominal GDP growth is

= (Nominal GDP as on 2050 - Nominal GDP as on 2040) × 100 ÷ (Nominal GDP as on 2040)

= ($18 trillion - $20 trillion) × 100 ÷ $20 trilion

= -10%


Now

Economic growth is

= Nominal GDP growth rate - rise in price level - population growth rate

= -10% -  3% - 2%

= -15%

3.

Nominal GDP growth is

= (Nominal GDP as on 2050 - Nominal GDP as on 2040) × 100 ÷ (Nominal GDP as on 2040)

= ($10 trillion - $8 trillion) × 100 ÷ $8 trilion

= 25%


Now

Economic growth is

= Nominal GDP growth rate - rise in price level - population growth rate

= 25% - 18% - 13%

Westbrook's Painting Co. plans to issue a $1,000 par value, 20-year noncallable bond with a 7.00% annual coupon, paid semiannually. The company's marginal tax rate is 25%, but Congress is considering a change in the corporate tax rate to 15%. By how much would the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted

Answers

Answer:

The component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC as follows:

CD = WD * PCD * (1 - t) ........................ (1)

Where;

CD = Component of cost of debt in WACC

WD = Weight of debt

PCD = Pretax cost of debt

t = tax rate

Note: Since information is provided for only the 20-year noncallable bond in the question, we assume that WD is 100% for simplicity purpose.

We can therefore proceed as follows:

a. CD When tax rate is 25%

Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:

CD when t is 25% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?

WD = Weight of debt = 100%

PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%

t = tax rate = 25%

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

CD when t is 25% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 25%) = 5.25%

b. CD When tax rate is 15%

Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:

CD when t is 15% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?

WD = Weight of debt = 100%

PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%

t = tax rate = 15%

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

CD when t is 15% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 15%) = 5.95%

c. the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted

Change in WACC = CD when t is 15% - CD when t is 25% = 5.95% - 5.25% = 0.70%

Therefore, the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.

Larry Nelson holds 1,000 shares of General Electric's (GE) common stock. The annual stockholder meeting is being held soon, but as a minor shareholder, Larry doesn't plan to attend. Larry did not sell his shares but gave his voting rights to the management group running General Electric (GE). Larry must have signed a ________ that gives the management group control over his shares.
Larry also holds 2,000 shares of common stock in a company that only has 20,000 shares outstanding. The company's stock currently is valued at $47.00 per share. The company needs to raise new capital to invest in production. The company is looking to issue 5,000 new shares at a price of $37.60 per share. Larry worries about the value of his investment.
Larry's current investment in the company is_______. If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth_______.
This scenario is an example of_______. Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a ________ provision.
If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become________.

Answers

Answer:

Larry must have signed a PROXY AGREEMENT that gives the management group control over his shares.

A proxy agreement is generally used for stockholders voting procedures, they basically grant another person the right to vote on behalf of another stockholder.

Larry's current investment in the company is $94,000.

= 2,000 stocks x $47 = $94,000

If the company issues new shares and Larry makes no additional purchase, Larry's investment will be worth $90,240.

company's new market value = (20,000 x $47) + (5,000 x $37.60) = $1,128,000

new stock price = $1,128,000 / 25,000 stocks = $45.12

= $45.12 x 2,000 = $90,240

This scenario is an example of STOCK DILUTION.

The stock price will lower because the increase in the company's value is less than proportional to the increase in the number of stocks.

Larry could be protected if the firm's corporate charter includes a PREEMPTIVE provision.

Preemptive rights give current stockholders the right to purchase more stocks (in case the company issues more stocks) before any outside investors.

If Larry exercises the provisions in the corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment value in the firm will become $112,800.

= [(5,000 / 10) x $37.60] + $94,000 = $18,800 + $94,000 = $112,800

Break-even point Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $160, the unit variable cost is $120, and the total fixed costs are $725,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $170.
A. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
B. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.

Answers

Answer:

A. 18,125 units

B. 14,500 units

Explanation:

Break -even is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                                        =  $725,000 ÷ ( $160 - $120)

                                        =  18,125 units

New Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

                                                 =  $725,000 ÷ ( $170- $120)

                                                 =  14,500 units

ABC Company sells three products, X, Y and Z. The weighted average contribution margin for all three products is $3.05 per unit. ABC's total fixed costs are $35,000. Sales mix percentages are :

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The weighted average contribution margin for all three products is $3.05 per unit. ABC's total fixed costs are $35,000

With the information provided, we can only calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company using the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 35,000/3.05

Break-even point (units)= 11,475

Now, imagine the following sales mix:

X= 0.25

Y=0.40

Z=0.35

We can determine the number of units for each product:

X= 11,475*0.25= 2,869

Y= 11,475*0.4= 4,590

Z= 11,475*0.35= 4,016

During the month of April, direct labor cost totaled $15,000 and direct labor cost was 40% of prime cost. If total manufacturing costs during April were $77,000, the manufacturing overhead was:

Answers

Answer:

Manufacturing overhead= $39,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor= $15,000

Direct labor cost was 40% of prime cost.

Total manufacturing costs= $77,000

First, we need to calculate the prime cost:

Prime cost= direct material + direct labor

Prime cost= 15,000/0.4= 37,500

Now, we can determine the manufacturing overhead:

Manufacturing overhead= total manufacturing costs - prime costs

Manufacturing overhead= 77,000 - 37,500

Manufacturing overhead= $39,500

a. $30,000
b. $4,500
c. $(4,736)
d. $34,500
e. $82,862

Answers

Answer:

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

Explanation:

To determine whether or not the investment was right, we will need to determine the net present value of the investment (NPV).

The NPV is the difference between the present value PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.

NPV of an investment(NPV)

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow

The cash inflow is an annuity.

PV of annuity= A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r

A- Annual cash flow ,- 23,400 r - discount rate - 8%, number of years- 3

Present Value of cash inflow =23,400 × (1- (1.08)^(-3)/0.08 = 60,304.06

Initial cost = 57,000

Net Present Value = 60,304.06 - 57,000 = 3,304.069

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

Kindly note that a discount rate of 8% was used as it is the opportunity cost of capital for the investment.

     

In the article, the graph labeled "Gas Guzzling" shows how the quantity demanded of gasoline varies each year. The graph depicts the quantity demanded that occurs at each year's equilibrium price. Therefore, the best way to interpret the numbers on the y axis is to assume that they represent an equilibrium when both the quantity of gas demanded and the quantity of gas supplied are the same. At this equilibrium, the price is the one that occurs at the intersection of the demand and supply curves.
We can turn to the textbook to understand why there were fluctuations in the quantity of gasoline sold over time. In particular, the textbook mentions several factors that shift a demand curve, as well as several factors that shift a supply curve. When either of these curves shifts, there will be a new equilibrium price and a new equilibrium quantity in the market.
Consider the following factor and indicate whether it increases or decreases the equilibrium price of gasoline and the equilibrium quantity of gasoline sold. In this problem, assume that gasoline is a normal good.
When income increases, the
Choose one:
A. supply curve shifts to the left.
B. demand curve shifts to the left.
C. supply curve shifts to the right.
D. demand curve shifts to the right.
As a result,
Choose one:
A. price increases and quantity increases.
B. price decreases and quantity increases.
C. price increases and quantity decreases.
D. price decreases and quantity decreases

Answers

Answer:

The correct answers are the options D and A. The demand curve shifts to the right and the price increases and the quantity increases.  

Explanation:

To begin with, the income of the consumers is a variable that only affects the demand and therefore that, as the gasoline is a normal good, when the income of the consumers increase then the quanitity demanded of the product will increase as well due to the fact that now the people have more money to use and when this happens the demand curve shifts to the right causing that the in the new equilibrium the price is higher and the quantity is higher as well too.

fowler credit bank is offering 6.7 percent compounded dailyon its savings accounts. If you deposit $7000 today, how much will you have in the account value in 5 years? value In 10 years? value In 20 years?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the future value in each case is shown below:

a. For 5 years, its is

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $7,000 × (1 + 0.067 ÷ 365 days)^ 5 × 365 days

= $7,000 × 1.397897

= $9,785.28

b. For 10 years, its is

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $7,000 × (1 + 0.067 ÷ 365 days)^ 10 × 365 days

= $7,000 × 1.954117

= $13,678.82

c. For 20 years, its is

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $7,000 × (1 + 0.067 ÷ 365 days)^ 20 × 365 days

= $7,000 × 3.818574

= $26,730.02

A decrease in real GDP causes a __________the money demand curve. A decrease in interest rates causes a__________ the money demand curve. An increase in the aggregate price level causes a_____________ the money demand curve.

Answers

Answer:

A decrease in real GDP causes a decrease in the money demand curve. A decrease in interest rates causes an increase in the money demand curve. An increase in the aggregate price level causes an increase in the money demand curve.

Explanation:

A demand curve is a graphical representation of the demand for money. Highlighting the demand for money in relation to price.

If real GDP increases, it will increase the need to have money to purchase goods, as there is already an increase in goods produced or available in the market. The need to have more money to purchase the more goods available in the market will drop once real GDP drops.

When the quantity of money demanded increases, it affects the price as well, as price increases, causing an increase in the demand curve. Talking about interest rates, a decrease in the interest rate will lead to an increase in the quantity of money demanded which will lead to an increase in the money demand curve.

The aggregate price level measures the entire prices in the economy. It gives a quick view of how the market pricing system is.

When the price level is high, an individual will have to spend more meaning there will be an increase in the demand for money to purchase the desired goods leading to a direct increase in the money demand curve.

A decrease in real GDP causes a leftward shift in the money demand curve. A decrease in interest rates causes a rightward shift in the money demand curve. An increase in the aggregate price level causes a rightward shift in the money demand curve.

What is the money demand curve?

The money demand curve illustrates the demand for money at a given interest rate. It is a downward-sloping curve that means there is an inverse relationship between demand for money and the interest rate.

The shift in money demand curve:

The money demand curve shifts to the right as the demand for money increases and it shifts to the left as demand decreases.

The demand for money will increase due to a rise in real GDP, a fall in interest rate, an increase in the price level, a change in expectations, and similar reasons.

The demand for money will decrease due to inverse change in the above factors.

Therefore, the answers to the blanks are:

leftward shift,

rightward shift, and

rightward shift.
