Answer:
Income will decrease by $2,000,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Advertising increase= $50,000,000
Units increase= 10,000 units
Unit contribution margin= $4,800
To calculate the total effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 10,000*4,800 - 50,000,000
Effect on income= $2,000,000 decrease
Income will decrease by $2,000,000.
Assignment: Capital Budgeting Decisions Your company is considering undertaking a project to expand an existing product line. The required rate of return on the project is 8% and the maximum allowable payback period is 3 years.
time 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Cash flow $ 10,000 2,400 4,800 3,200 3,200 2,800 2,400
Evaluate the project using each of the following methods. For each method, should the project be accepted or rejected? Justify your answer based on the method used to evaluate the project’s cash flows.
A. Payback period
B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
C. Simple Rate of Return
D. Net Present Value
Answer:
A. Payback period
payback period = 2.875 years, therefore, the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than 3 years.B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
IRR = 22.69%, therefore, the project should be accepted since the IRR is higher than the required rate of return (8%).C. Simple Rate of Return
simple rate of return = 18%, therefore, the project should be accepted because the simple rate of return is higher than the required rate of return.D. Net Present Value
NPV = $4,647.85 , therefore, the project should be accepted since the NPV is positive.Explanation:
year cash flow
0 -$10,000
1 $2,400
2 $4,800
3 $3,200
4 $3,200
5 $2,800
6 $2,400
discount rate 8%
I used a financial calculator to determine the NPV and IRR.
Payback period = $10,000 - $2,400 - $4,800 = $2,800 / $3,200 = 0.875
payback period = 2.875 years
simple rate of return:
average cash flow = ($2,400 + $4,800 + $3,200 + $3,200 + $2,800 + $2,400) / 6 = $3,467
depreciation expense per year = $10,000 / 6 = $1,667
simple rate of return = ($3,467 - $1,667) / $10,000 = 18%

"Mussatto Corporation produces snowboards. The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $10, direct labor $4, variable manufacturing overhead $3, fixed manufacturing overhead $10, variable selling and administrative expenses $1, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $8. Using a 25% markup percentage on total per unit cost, compute the target selling price. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)"
Answer:
The target selling price =$45
Explanation:
The target selling price is the sum of the total unit cost plus 25% of the the unit cost
The target selling price = Total per unit cost + (25% × total unit cost)
The total unit cost is the sum of all the costs involved making the product available to the consumer.
The sum of direct material cost , labour cost variable manufacturing, fixed manufacturing overhead, variable selling and administrative expenses and fixed selling and administrative expenses.
Total unit cost = 10 + 4 + 3 + 10 + 1 + 8 = 36
The target selling price = 36 + (25% × 36) = $45
The target selling price =$45

Larry Jones gifts land to a school district, but the deed states "for so long as the land is used for a school." Jones owns a(n):
Answer:
Reversionary interest
Explanation:
If Larry Jones gifts land to a school district, but the deed states "for so long as the land is used for a school." Jones owns a reversionary interest.
A reversionary interest can be defined as a property law (deed) which states that when a property such as a land transfer is used on a clause; “for so long as” or “on condition that."
Hence, once the interest of the benefactor comes to an end, the property reverts back to its original owner (grantor). It also gives the grantor's next of kin, successor or heir the power or right to take the property back in the future if promises are broken or the agreement comes to an end.
This ultimately implies that, if a property stated in the deed is not used or used, for certain purposes.
In this scenario, Larry owns a reversionary interest because he gifts a land to the school district, but in the deed he stated "for so long as the land is used for a school."

how does being mindful of your strengths, skills, weaknesses, and potential challenges or obstacles impact your personal, academic, and professional growth?
Explanation:
It’s not unusual for people to compare themselves with others around them, and to feel superior or inferior towards them based on their strengths and their weaknesses.
The thing is, every individual is different and we all function differently based on our personalities. It is important to know yourself and your capacities.
Your strengths are things you can leverage on, things you can use to push yourself further.
On the other hand, your weaknesses are not your downfall. These are areas you need to improve on. It is not something you lack. It is something you need to develop and build.
In order to leverage your strengths and improve on your weaknesses, you first need to know them.
Answer:
Being mindful of my strengths, skills, and potential obstacles can significantly impact my personal, academic, and professional growth. When I am aware of my strengths, I can rely on them to complete tasks, sort of like leverage. They are also things that will help push me further in whatever aspect of life. Knowing my skills will also benefit me by knowing when to use them in certain situations. Learning my skills is also essential to understand when knowing when and how to use them. Also, when I am aware of my obstacles or challenges, it will help me find a way to avoid them or find a better way to accomplish something. It is also something that I know I need to work on and become better at, and without being aware of first, I wouldn’t be able to do that. When I am aware of how I function, it makes it easier for me to achieve my goals. I wouldn’t be able to grow in my personal, academic, or professional life if I wasn’t aware of those things. A saying that I learned throughout my recovery was “ to be aware is to be alive.” It is essential to know my benefits and downfalls within myself to be able to grow and become better in all areas of my life.
Explanation:
On July 9, Mifflin Company receives a $10,400, 90-day, 8% note from customer Payton Summers as payment on account. What entry should be made on July 9 to record receipt of the note
Answer: Debit Notes Receivable $10,400; credit Accounts Receivable $10,400.
Explanation:
Mifflin Company is receiving the note back from Payton Summers which means that Payton Summers intends to settle their account. The correct entry to record therefore is one that closes off the Notes Receivable account by debiting it as it was on a credit balance.
The other account would be the Accounts Receivable account which would need to be credited by the amount owed to close off the account as it was on a debit balance as Accounts Receivables are when customers are still owing.
In recent years, cellular phones have become very popular. What is the effect of this change in taste and preferences on the market for cellular phones?
Answer:
The effect is a decrease in the use of land line phones, so there is a decrease in demand for land line phones and an increase in demand for cellular phones.
Explanation:
With the popularization of the cell phone, there was an economic effect caused by the increase in demand for cell phones and the decrease in demand for landlines, which means that the landline sector was affected by changes in consumer taste and preferences, which led to many fixed-line operators migrate to a focus on mobile telephony.
With the popularization of cell phones, it is also possible to notice the increase in industries that produce increasingly technological and differentiated devices to meet this constantly growing demand.
Under the antiboycott law, U.S. companies are forbidden to participate in any unauthorized foreign boycott. Which situation brought about the antiboycott law in the U.S.?
Answer: The Boycott of Israel by the Arab League

It is better to paint the garage this week as provide better relevant yield.
Explanation:
The 1,000 invested in the law mower ware sunk cost as it is already incurred. After this week we will be still be able to take jobs ralated to the lawn mower.
We must base our analysis in the future cost associate with each alternative.
These are the revenue of each job and the additional cost.
The transportation as they are equal to both alternative are disregarded.
The net benefit from painting the garage is more than the net benefit of moving by $40. Therefore, we should choose to paint the garage to achieve more profit.
What is the net benefit?The term net benefit means the benefits or profit that can be derived from an activity. It is the difference between the revenue and the cost of the respective activity.
The net benefits from moving and painting will be the difference between the revenue that can be earned by mowing and painting and the respective expenses.

Your great aunt left you $15,000 when she died. You can invest the money to earn 6.5% per year. If you spend $2,100 per year out of this inheritance, how long will the money last? Try to use an appropriate annuity formula, and make sure to clearly state any assumptions you make.
Answer:
The money will last for approximately 10 years.
Explanation:
Assuming the withdrawal to spend $2,100 is made at the end of each year, the relevant formula to use is therefore the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value of the inheritance left by your great aunt = $15,000
P = yearly withdrawal = $2,100
r = interest rate = 6.5%, or 0.065
n = number of years the money will last = ?
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for n as follows:
15,000 = 2,100 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.065)]^n} / 0.065]
15,000 / 2,100 = {1 - [1 / 1.065]^n} / 0.065
7.14285714285714 = [1 - 0.938967136150235^n] / 0.065
7.14285714285714 * 0.065 = 1 - 0.938967136150235^n
0.464285714285714 = 1 - 0.938967136150235^n
0.938967136150235^n = 1 - 0.464285714285714
0.938967136150235^n = 0.535714285714286
Loglinearize both sides, we have:
n * log 0.938967136150235 = log 0.535714285714286
n = log 0.535714285714286 / log 0.938967136150235
n = -0.271066772286538 / -0.0273496077747564
n = 9.9112 years, or approximately 10 years
Therefore, the money will last for approximately 10 years.

If Piper Manufacturing manufactures one unique set of stack pipes, and the sell price is $121,000, the variable costs per unit are $62,000, and the fixed costs are $500,000, what is the break-even point in units
Answer:
8.47
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the break-even point in units is:
Break-even point in units=Fixed costs/(Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)
Fixed costs= $500.000
Selling price per unit= $121,000
Variable cost per unit= $62,000
Break-even point in units=$500,000/($121,000-$62,000)
Break-even point in units=$500,000/59,000
Break-even point in units=8.47
According to this, the break-even point in units is 8.47.

Answer: External horizontal diversification
Explanation:
External horizontal diversification is when new products or services are added to a company because they may appeal to the customers. This is a strategy that is used to increase the dependence of firm on certain segments of the market.
This was used when Fisher met with Bill Gates, CEO - Microsoft, to form alliances to develop new photo software that helped customers manipulate images.
Harold Reese must choose between two bonds: Bond X pays $82 annual interest and has a market value of $935. It has 12 years to maturity. Bond Z pays $75 annual interest and has a market value of $920. It has eight years to maturity. Assume the par value of the bonds is $1,000. a. Compute the current yield on both bonds. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. Which bond should he select based on your answers to part a
Answer:a)Bond X=8.77%; Bond Z=8.15%
b) Bond X
Explanation:
We will first Calculate the Current Yield of both bonds
Current Yield on Bond X = Annual Interest / Market Value
= 82 / 935 =0.0877 x100%= 8.77%
Current Yield on Bond Z = Annual Interest / Market Value
= 75 / 920
= 0.0815217391 X 100%=8.15%
(b.) Harold Reese should choose Bond X as it has higher current yield of 8.77%
You used to earn $76,000 a year in your old job! Suppose you return to college and earn an MBA, after which you get an upper-management position with Yum! Brands. If the tax rates are the same as in 2012 and your starting salary is $125,000, how much will you owe in federal social insurance taxes?
Answer:
Federal social insurance taxes include OASDI taxes (Social Security) and Medicare taxes. Currently. In 2012, the Social Security tax limit was $110,100, while their was no limit on Medicare.
The Social Security tax rate was temporarily reduced during 2011 and 2012 from 6.2% to 4.2%, so your Social Security tax withholdings were $4,624.20 in 2012.
Medicare taxes did not change in 2012 and were 1.45%, so your Medicare tax withholding were $1,812.50 in 2012.
Development normally stops at about age:
A. 40
B. 25.
C. Development never stops.
D. 5.
Answer:
B. 25.
Explanation:
Normally the life of a human breaks into various stages like infancy, childhood, adolescence, old age ,and adulthood which depends upon the level of age.
Like we can say that in the age of 18 the person is an adult but at the age of 25 he has reached to the level of maturity in term of mental, physical, strength, emotional, etc
And at this level, the development normally stops i.e brain not with the person body
Hence, option b is correct
Answer:
development never stops
Explanation:
our bodies are always changing and always growing to be something different. This includes every 7 years our cells are completely changed so we are practically all new people. option c is also the right answer on apex.
When Marilyn Monroe died, ex-husband Joe DiMaggio vowed to place fresh flowers on her grave every Sunday as long as he lived. The week after she died in 1962, a bunch of fresh flowers that the former baseball player thought appropriate for the star cost about $6. Based on actuarial tables, "Joltin' Joe" could expect to live for 25 years after the actress died. Assume that the EAR is 11.4 percent. Also, assume that the price of the flowers will increase at 3.3 percent per year, when expressed as an EAR. Assuming that each year has exactly 52 weeks, what is the present value of this commitment? Joe began purchasing flowers the week after Marilyn died.
Answer: $3,338.56.
Explanation:
Given, EAR = 11.4 percent =0.114
Weekly interest rate=[tex]\dfrac{EAR}{\text{Number of weeks in a year}}=\dfrac{0.114}{52}=0.00219[/tex]
Growth rate of price of flowers = 3.3 % per year
Weekly growth rate=[tex]\dfrac{0.033}{52}=0.00063[/tex]
Star Cost (C)= $6
Time period (t)= 25 years
= 25 x 52 = 1300 weeks
Required formula for growing annuity :
[tex]PV=\dfrac{C}{r-g}[1-(\dfrac{1+g}{1+r})^t][/tex],
where C = Star cost
r = rate per period
g= growth rate
t = time period
[tex]PV=\dfrac{6}{0.00219-0.00063}[1-(\dfrac{1+0.00063}{1+0.00219})^{1300}]\\\\=\dfrac{6}{0.00156}[1-(0.998443408934)^{1300}]\\\\=(3846.15384615)[1-0.13197471131]\\\\=(3846.15384615)(0.86802528869)\approx\$3338.56[/tex]
Hence, the present value of this commitment = $3,338.56.
At a computer-consulting firm, the number of new clients that they have obtained each month has ranged from 0 to 6. the number of new clients has the probability distribution that is shown below. determine the expected number of new clients per month. # of clients probability 0 0.05 1 0.10 2 0.15 3 0.35 4 0.20 5 0.10 6 0.05
Answer:
3.05
Explanation:
The computer consulting firm is analyzing the performance of its company based on new clients each month. The data is given for six months and the probability distribution for number of new clients per month that the company has gained. The probability sum equals to 1 for the six months. The variance distribution is the squared value of each the difference by the mean. values of probability are squared and then their sum is taken to calculate variance deviation.
A local bank intends to install a new automated teller machine (ATM) to allow users (i.e., bank customers) to perform basic financial transactions. Each user can have only one account at the bank. ATM users should be able to view their account balance, withdraw cash (i.e., take money out of an account) and deposit funds (i.e., place money into an account). The user interface of the automated teller machine contains:
Answer:
The user interface of the automated teller machine contains Graphical User Interface.
Explanation:
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a user interface that allows the ATM customer to perform basic financial transactions of viewing their account balance, withdrawing cash, and depositing funds in an interactive manner. The GUI as an interactive visual display uses objects to convey information to the user. Actions to be taken by the ATM customer are also represented, so that the user or ATM customer feels as if she were communicating with another human. The GUI responds faster than a human.
Toby purchased a 20-year par value bond with semiannual coupons at a nominal annual rate of 8% convertible semiannually at a price of 1,722.25. The bond can be called at par value 1,100 on any coupon date starting at the end of year 15. What is the minimum yield that Toby could receive, expressed as a nominal annual rate of interest convertible semiannually?
Answer:
3.22%
Explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the minimum yield that Toby could receive.
To calculate this, we use the YTM formula.
Before we apply this formula, we write out the parameters which we were given in the question.
Given that number of years, n = 15*2 = 30, Price, P = 1722.25, Face value, F = 1100, C = 0.08/2*1100 = 44
Using YTM approximation formula,
YTM = [C + (F – P)/n]/ (F + P)/2
YTM = [44 + (1100 – 1722.25)/30]/ (1100+1722.25)/2
YTM = 23.2583/1411.125
YTM = 1.61%
YTM = 1.61% x 2 = 3.22%
The process of bond valuation is based on the fundamental concept that the current price of a security can be determined by calculating the present value of the cash flows that the security will generate in the future.
There is a consistent and predictable relationship between a bond’s coupon rate, its par value, a bondholder’s required return, and the bond’s resulting intrinsic value. Trading at a discount, trading at a premium, and trading at par refer to particular relationships between a bond’s intrinsic value and its par value. This also results from the relationship between a bond’s coupon rate and a bondholder’s required rate of return.
Remember, a bond’s coupon rate partially determines the interest-based return that a bond (might/will)...........pay, and a bondholder’s required return reflects the return that a bondholder(would like/is obligated).............to receive from a given investment.
Answer:
Remember, a bond’s coupon rate partially determines the interest-based return that a bond WILL pay, and a bondholder’s required return reflects the return that a bondholder WOULD LIKE to receive from a given investment.
Explanation:
When a bond is issued, a contract is formed between the issuer and the bondholder. The coupon rate is fixed and it must be paid by the bondholder regardless of the market price of the bond.
On the other hand, the bondholder's expected return is what determines the market price of the bond. if the expected return is higher than the coupon rate, then the bond will be sold at a discount. If the coupon rate is higher than the expected return, then the bond will be sold at a premium.
