National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $55 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $78 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,300 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $157,700. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

National Chemical Company

New Variant of a Chemical Compound:

The effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant is that total profit increases by $33,200

Explanation:

a) Data:

Selling price of old chemical = $55

Selling price of fined chemical = $78

Initial demand for the new compound = 8,300 gallons

Refining costs for the new compound = $157,700

b) Calculations:

Profit from new fined chemical = $23 ($78 - 55)

Differential Sales revenue =  $190,900 ($23 x 8,300)

Differential processing costs $157,700

Effect on total profit =              $33,200

c) Refining a chemical always add some value to the chemical.  The additional value added is the differential sales revenue that National generates minus the additional processing costs involved to get the chemical refined.

Tony, a hateful, disgruntled, business law teacher notices that a student, Peter, who is past the age of majority, has a nice motorcycle that is for sale. Peter has struggled through school, is in his last semester, and needs to pass business law in order to graduate. Tony tells Peter that he would like to see Peter pass and, in the next sentence, says that he wants to buy the motorcycle for $100, a price far below the value of the motorcycle. Peter asks if Tony is serious about the price, and Tony replies, "I have the power here! Take it or leave it!" Tony proceeds to draw up a contract for the sale of the motorcycle for $100 which Peter signs. Peter does some research and finds that Tony has had several arrests for driving under the influence in a nearby town. As an act of revenge, Peter tells Tony that unless Tony sells Peter his new Mustang convertible for $50, he is publishing the facts about the arrests in the school newspaper. Tony reluctantly agreed to the deal. Which of the following is true if Tony seeks to rescind the contract for the sale of the Mustang?
A. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of duress.
B. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of misappropriation of name or likeness.
C. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of fraud.
D. Tony may not rescind the contract because truth is involved.
E. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of defamation.

Answers

Answer: A. Tony may rescind the contract on grounds of duress.

Explanation:

For contracts to be considered enforceable, a key factor is that the parties involved must have entered into the agreement of their own accord and free will. Therefore Duress, which denies a person of that free will, becomes a reason why a contract can be voided.

Tony sold Peter the Mustang convertible because Peter had threatened to release details that Tony would rather were kept private so Tony capitulated and sold the Mustang. Had Peter not threatened him, Tony would not have sold the car. This shows that Tony only sold the car under duress and as such can void the contract.

Forest Company sells a product for $120 per unit. The variable cost is $50 per unit, and fixed costs are $392,000. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point in sales units required for the company to achieve a target profit of $152,880.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $120

Unitary variable cost= $50

Fixed costs= $392,000

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, using the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 392,000/ (120 - 50)

Break-even point in units= 5,600 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 392,000 / (70/120)

Break-even point (dollars)= $672,000

Now, we need to determine the number of units to be sold for the desired profit of $152,880:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (392,000 + 152,880) / 70

Break-even point in units= 7,784 units

Answers

The correct question is:

Glitter Services Inc. owns 30% of voting stock of Grey Investments Inc. During the year 2015, Grey Investments Inc. earned profits of $250,000. Under the equity method, which of the following journal entries will Glitter Services record?

Answer:

D) Debit Long-term Investments—Grey Investments Inc.: 75,000

Credit Revenue from Investments: 75,000

Explanation:

Equity method is used in accounting to treat a companie's investment in associate companies. Usually equity accounting is used when a company owns 20 to 50% of shares in an associate company.

In this case Glitter Services, Inc. owns 30% of voting stock of World​ Investments, Inc.

Grey Investments, Inc. earned profits of $250,000.

So the value of investment is 0.3 * 250,000 = $75,000

So this amount is Debited from Long Term Investment account and credited to Revenue from Investments

Blackwelder Factory produces two similar products-small lamps and desk lamps. The total plant overhead budget is $667,000 with 465,000 estimated direct labor hours. It is further estimated that small lamp production will require 299,000 direct labor hours and desk lamp production will need 166,000 direct labor hours. Using the single plantwide factory overhead rate with an allocation base of direct labor hours, how much factory overhead will Blackwelder Factory allocate to desk lamp production if actual direct hours for the period is 249,000. a.$356,070 b.$800,936 c.$1,000,500 d.$310,930

Answers

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $356,070

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $667,000

Estimated direct labor hours= 465,000

Actual direct labor hours for lamp desk= 249,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 667,000/465,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.43 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.43*249,000

Allocated MOH= $356,070

The manufacturer Mike and Ike, the fruit-flavored chewy candies, has changed its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12- to 17-year-olds. What type of market segmentation identifies its market

Answers

Answer:

Demographic

Explanation:

A market is segmented so as to narrow down a large market into a narrow base, or a target market. This helps the organization to be better focused on providing its services to these target groups of people. A market can be segmented on the basis of demography, psychography, behavior, and geography. Demography deals more with statistical data of the population being studied and would typically include; age, gender, race, income levels, etc.

So, when the manufacturer Mike and Ike changes its packaging and developed contests all geared to 12-17-years-old, he has segmented the market according to demography and age.

(a) Determine its break-even point in sales dollar
(b) Determine last year's margin of safety in sales dollars.
(c) Determine the sales volume required for an annual profit of $80,000.
Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual fixed costs are $150,000, and variable costs are 40 percent of sales revenue. Last year's revenues totaled $300,000.

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 150,000 / [(300,000*0.6)/300,000]

Break-even point (dollars)= $250,000

Now, we can determine the margin of safety:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 300,000 - 250,000= $50,000

Finally, the sales dollar required to reach $80,000 profit:

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (150,000 + 80,000) / 0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $383,333.33

Nicolas Enterprises sells a product for $67 per unit. The variable cost is $33 per unit, while fixed costs are $231,200. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $73 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

a)Break-even point = 6,800  units

b) Break-even point =5780  units

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.

The break-even point is calculated as  

Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period)/ contribution per unit

Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost

Contribution per unit = 67 - 33 = 34

Fixed cost =231,200

So the units requited to achieve break-even point:

Break-even point = 231,200/34  = 6,800  units

Break-even point = 6,800  units

b) If the selling price wete increased to 73

The break-even point = 231,200/ (73- 33) = 5,780  units

Break-even point =5780  units

What is the expected value and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio rate of return? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as decimals rounded to 4 places.)

Answers

The expected value and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio rate of return are 16.20% and 42.61% respectively.

The same old deviation of a portfolio measures how a good deal of the funding returns deviate from the suggestion of the opportunity distribution of investments. placed certainly, it tells traders how a good deal the investment will deviate from its anticipated return.

The same old deviation of the portfolio is usually the same to the weighted average of the same old deviations of the property in the portfolio. A high fashionable deviation in a portfolio indicates a high hazard as it suggests that the profits are especially volatile and unstable.

calculation:-

Weight of Stock =( (17%-5.6%)*40%^2 - (8%-5.6%)*(46%*40%*0.16))/((17%-5.6%)*40%^2 +  (8%-5.6%)*46%^2 - (17%-5.6%+8%-5.6% )*(46%*40%*0.16))

Weight of Stock = 0.9106

Weight of Bond = 1- 0.9106= 0.0894

Portfolio invested in the stock = 91.06%

Portfolio invested in the bond = 8.94%

The expected return of portfolio = Weight of Stock* E(rs) + Weight of Bond *E(rb)

Expected return of portfolio = 91.06%*17 +8.94%*8

Expected return of portfolio = 16.20%

The standard deviation of Portfolio = (Weight of Stock^2 * SD of Stock^2 + Weight of Bond^2 * SD of Bond^2 + 2* weight of Stock*Weight of Bond* COV(S, B))^(1/2)

Standard deviation of Portfolio = (0.9106^2*46%^2 + 0.0894^2*40%^2 + 2*0.9106*0.0894*(46%*40%*0.16))^(1/2)

The budgeted cost of goods manufactured for the year is a.$1,255,000. b.$2,335,000. c.$2,785,000. d.$3,100,000.

Answers

Answer:

$2,335,000= cost of goods manufactured

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

January 1 finished goods, $765,000

December 31 finished goods, $540,000

Cost of goods sold for the year, $2,560,000

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

2,560,000 = 765,000 + cost of goods manufactured - 540,000

2,335,000= cost of goods manufactured

Answers

Answer:

shutdown in the short run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.

for T-Shirt Enterprises, price is $2 which is less than average variable cost

A 30 year $1,000 par 4 3/4% Treasury Bond is quoted at 95-11 - 95-15. The note pays interest on Jan 1st and Jul 1st. A customer buys 1 bond at the ask price. What is the current yield, disregarding commissions

Answers

Answer:

4.98%

Explanation:

Calculation for the current yield

First step

Since the the bond was purchased at 95 +15/32nds this means that we have to find the bond percentage.

Calculated as

Bond Percentage = 95 + 15/32nds

Bond percentage =95.46875%

Second step is to multiply the bond percentage by $1,000

95.46875% *$1,000

= $954.6875

The last step is to find the current yield

Current yield=$47.50 /$954.6875

Current yield = 4.98%

Therefore the current yield will be 4.98%

If Treasury bills are currently paying 6.5 percent and the inflation rate is 1.3 percent, what is the approximate and the exact real rate of interest

Answers

Answer:

the approximate real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate = 6.5% - 1.3% = 5.2%

the exact real interest rate is calculated using the following formula:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected rate of inflation)

(1 + 0.065) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.013)

1 + real interest rate = (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.013) = 1.065 / 1.013 = 1.05133

real interest rate = 1.05133 - 1 = 0.05133 = 5.13%

Answers

Answer: 24%

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Current Assets = $ 400,000

Total Assets = 895,000

Cost of Goods = Sold 655,000

Gross Profit = 205,000

Net Income = 125,000

Gross profit percent will be:

Gross profit/(Gross profit + cost of goods sold) × 100

= 205,000/(205,000 + 655,000) × 100

= 205000/860,000 × 100

Which of the following is true for a company that doesn't adjust their WACC for project risk? a. The company would accept more average risk projects than they should otherwise. b. The company's risk would decrease. c. The company would accept more less than average risk projects than they should otherwise. d. The company would accept more riskier than average projects than they should otherwise.

Answers

Answer: d. The company would accept more riskier than average projects than they should otherwise.

Explanation:

A company's Weighted Average Cost of Capital can enable it know the calibre of risk to accept from new project because it shows the business risk of funding current business operations.

If a project will bring more risk to the company, the WACC should be adjusted so that the company will get a fair rate of return from the new project. If they do not adjust the new project for risk, not only will the company not get a fair return but they might also accept riskier projects because they will accept projects that they think have a lower risk than their WACC even though they are higher because they did not adjust their WACC.

For each of the following scenarios, determine if there is an increase or a decrease in supply for the good in italics.

a. The price of silver increases.
b. Growers of tomatoes experience an unusually good growing season.
c. New medical evidence reports that consumption of organic products reduces the incidence of cancer.
d. The wages of low-skill workers, a resource used to help produce clothing, increase.

Answers

Answer:

a. The price of silver increases. - Supply Increase

As the price of silver increases, it will make silver more profitable therefore producers will increase production to take advantage of the higher prices to make more profit in total.

b. Growers of tomatoes experience an unusually good growing season. - Supply Increase

If growers of tomatoes experience a good season, it means that there will be more tomatoes to harvest. This will increase the supply of tomatoes.

c. New medical evidence reports that consumption of organic products reduces the incidence of cancer. - Supply Increase.

Supply of organic products will increase as a result of an anticipated and an actual increase in the demand for organic products as more people will buy them to avoid getting cancer.

d. The wages of low-skill workers, a resource used to help produce clothing, increase. - Supply Decrease

When inputs into the production process increase, producers will tend to cut down production to enable them save cost and maintain profitability. If the wages of low-skill workers increase, it will mean that an input is now more expensive so production of clothing will reduce thereby reducing its supply.

Because orders in organizational buying are typically much larger than in consumer buying, buyers must often __________ when the order is above a specific amount, such as $5,000.

Answers

Answer:

get competitive bids from at least three prospective suppliers

Explanation:

In these specific situations, organizational buyers must often get competitive bids from at least three prospective suppliers. This is because due to the fact that the purchasing amounts are very large there can also be large amounts of money saved by saving a couple of percentages on a purchase. Also since the seller can make large profits from a large order like this one, most suppliers place competitive bids in order to win the transaction.

In the United States, the standard methodology for consumers with respect to privacy is opt-out with respect to the United States and her Privacy Law, whereas in the EU it is opt-in.

Opting-out laws cover a spectrum that consists of methods used by an individual to avoid receiving unsolicited service information. When receiving unsolicited service information as a result of data collection a consumer might seek an out way to stop it and to opt-out require affirmative steps to prevent unsolicited service and products. Under opt-out a user can be signed up much more easily.

Opt-In is when an individual chooses to join or participate in something and acknowledging interest in a product or service. Opt-in is used under European data protection rules which grant individuals more control of their data when the person agrees to receive the specified services.

yle Co. has $1.1 million of debt, $3 million of preferred stock, and $1.2 million of common equity. What would be its weight on common equity

Answers

Answer:

0.22

Explanation:

Calculation for the weight on common equity

Using this formula

Weight of Common equity = Common Equity/(Debt + Preferred Equity+Common Equity)

Where,

Common Equity=1.2

Debt =1.1

Preferred Equity=3

Let plug in the formula

Weight of common equity = 1.2/(1.1+ 3+ 1.2)

Weight of common equity=1.2/5.3

Weight of Common Equity=0.22

Therefore the weight on common equity will be 0.22

Smathers Corp. stock has a beta of .89. The market risk premium is 7.20 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.93 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity

Answers

Answer: 9.31%

Explanation:

Given: Smathers Corp. stock has a beta of 0.89.

⇒ Beta = 0.89

Risk-free rate = 2.93 percent

Market risk premium = 7.20 percent

Formula: Cost of Equity = [ Risk free rate + (Beta) × ( Market risk premium) ]

Substitute all values, we get

Cost of Equity =  [ 2.9 + (0.89) × ( 7.20) ]%

= [2.9+6.41]%

= 9.31%

Hence, the company's cost of equity is 9.31%.
