A-Z Technologies, a manufacturer of amplified pressure transducers, is trying to decide between a dual-speed and a variable-speed machine. The engineers are not sure about the salvage value of the variable-speed machine, so they have asked several different used-equipment dealers for estimates. The results can be summarized as follows: there is a 35% chance of getting $21,500; a 41% chance of getting $22,000; and a 13% chance of getting $36,000. Also, there is an 11% chance that the company may have to pay $7,000 to dispose of the equipment. Calculate the expected salvage value.
Answers
Answer:
Expected salvage value = $20455
Explanation:
The expected salvage value of the machine can be calculated by multiplying the expected salvage values by their relative probabilities and then summing up the resulting values. The following formula can be used,
Expected salvage value = pA * svA + pB * svB + ... + pN * svN
Where,
p represents the probability of each scenariosv represents the salvage value under each scenarioA, B, ... , N represents scenario A, B, ... , till Nth number of scenario
Expected salvage value = 0.35 * 21500 + 0.41 * 22000 + 0.13 * 36000 +
0.11 * -7000
Expected salvage value = $20455

5.For the past year, Chandler Company had fixed costs of $70,000, unit variable costs of $32, and a unit selling price of $40. For the coming year, no changes are expected in revenues and costs, except that property taxes are expected to increase by $10,000. Determine the break-even sales (units) for: (12 pts ~ 6 pts each) a.The past year: b.The coming year
Answers
Answer:
a.
Break even in units = 8750 units
b.
Break even in units = 10000 units
Explanation:
The break even in units is the number of units that a business must sell in order to for its total revenue to be equal to total costs and for it to break even. The break even in units is calculated as follows,
Break even in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution margin per unit
Where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
a. Past Year
Break even in units = 70000 / (40 - 32)
Break even in units = 8750 units
b. Coming Year
The property taxes which are a fixed cost will increase by $10000. Thus total fixed cost for coming year will be = 10000 + 70000 = 80000
Break even in units = 80000 / (40 - 32)
Break even in units = 10000 units
Kenji lives in Detroit and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Kenji does not operate this boat business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.
Identify each of Charles's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.
a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor
Answers
Answer:
a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays - Explicit cost
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer- Explicit cost
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom - Implicit cost
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor - Implicit cost
Explanation:
Explicit costs are the costs which are incurred to run the business. These are direct costs incurred by the individual. For instance, wages paid by firms, cost of furniture, building, etc. The explicit costs will thus include,
a. Wholesale cost paid to the manufacturer ($430,000)
b. Wages and utility bills ($301,000)
Implicit costs are those costs which are not directly incurred by an individual/ business. These are costs of the lost alternative i.e the opportunity cost of an action. For instance, the cost of forgone rent which could have been earned on renting the office space or building. Thus, Charles implicit costs are
a. Rent of the showroom ($15,000)
b. Salary from being a financial advisor ($50,000)
Sandy is considering moving from her apartment into a small house with a fenced yard. The apartment is noisy, and she has difficulty studying. In addition, the fenced yard would be great for her dog. The distance from school is about the same from the house and from the apartment. The apartment costs $750 per month, and she has 2 months remaining on her lease. The lease cannot be broken, so Sandy must pay the last 2 months of rent whether she lives there or not. The rent for the house is $450 per month, plus utilities, which should average $100 per month. The apartment is furnished; the house is not. If Sandy moves into the house, she will need to buy a bed, dresser, desk, and chair immediately. She thinks that she can pick up some used furniture for a good price. Which of the following costs is irrelevant to Sandy's decision to stay in the apartment or move to the house?
a. House rent of $450 per month.
b. Utilities for the house of $100 per month.
c. The noise in the apartment house.
d. The cost of the used furniture.
Answers
Answer:
Noise in the apartment house
Explanation:
Costs are units or monetary value which are incurred/spent on taking a certain action. It is often quantitative in nature that is something that can be measured. Although noise is a factor which can affect Sandy's decision of moving from the apartment, it cannot be considered as a cost. Noise of the apartment is a qualitative factor. It does not have an intrinsic monetary value. Thus, in this regard it is an irrelevant cost for Sandy's decision to stay in the apartment or move to the house.
The other options have a monetary value and thus they are relevant for Sandy's decision.
The following information exists for ABC Company:
Selling price per unit: $30
Variable expenses per unit: $21
Fixed expenses for the period: $60,000
Sales volume in units: 10,000
If selling price is reduced by $2 and sales volume increases by 3,000 units, total contribution margin will increase by $__________ .
Answers
Answer:
Difference= $1,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit: $30
Variable expenses per unit: $21
New selling price= 30 - 2= $28
New units sales= 13,000
First, we need to calculate the current contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= units sold*unitary contribution margin
Total contribution margin= 10,000*(30 - 21)
Total contribution margin= $90,000
Now, the new contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 13,000*(28 - 21)
Total contribution margin= $91,000

Decca Publishing paid $230,000 to acquire Thrifty Nickel, a weekly advertising paper. At the time of the acquisition, Thrifty Nickel balance sheet reported total assets of $130,000 and liabilities of $70,000. The fair market value of Thrifty Nickels assets was $100,000. The fair market value of Thrifty Nickel liabilities was $70,000.
Required:
a. How much goodwill did Decca Publishing purchase as part of the acquisition of Thrift Nickel?
b. Journalize Decca Publishing's acquisition of Thrifty Nickel.
Answers
Answer:
Part a
$200,000
Part b
Debit : Investment in subsidiary $230,000
Credit : Cash $230,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Assets taken over at the acquisition date.
Assets and liabilities are taken over at their acquisition date Fair Values instead of Book Values so be sure to adjust any items shown at Book Value.
Net Assets = Assets at Fair Value - Liabilities at Fair Value
= $100,000 - $70,000
= $30,000
Goodwill = Purchase Price - Net Assets Taken over
= $230,000 - $30,000
= $200,000
You own two bonds. Both bonds pay annual interest, have 6 percent annual coupons, $1,000 face values, and currently have 6 percent yields to maturity. Bond A has 12 years to maturity and Bond B has 4 years to maturity. If the market rate of interest rises unexpectedly to 7 percent, Bond _____ will be the most volatile with a price decrease of _____ percent.
Answers
Answer:
Bond A is most volatile and 7.94%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Particulars Bond A Bond B
Interest ($1,000 × 6%) $60 $60
Period 12 4
PVAF at 7 for 12 years 7.942886
PVAF at 7% for 4 years 3.387211
PVF at 7% for 12 years 0.444012
PVF at 7% for 4 years 0.762895
The present value of interest $476.56
($60 × 7.942686)
The present value of interest $203.2327
($60 × 3.387211)
Present value of fair value $444.012
($1,000 × 0.444012)
Present value of fair value $762.8952
($1,000 × 0.762895)
Present value $920.57 $966.1279
The decrease in percentage is
= ($1,000 - $920.57) ÷ $1,000
= 7.94%
Bond A is most volatile

c. Not applicable
Explanation:
The retention of retained earnings cannot be applicable in this case because for the past five years of its existence the company had recorded operating losses. It had not retained any profits so far. This means that there is no internally-generated source of financing for the company. It can only rely on outside finance in the form of equity (stockholders) or debt (creditors).

A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
Generally, the government of a particular country could use a contractionary policy to slow down the economy when inflation is high and gross domestic product (GDP) is growing too.
Hence, when the Federal reserve (government) of the United States of America uses contractionary monetary policy to reduce inflation, it sells treasury securities at an increasing (high) interest rates, which eventually leads to a stronger dollar that lowers net exports (total trade) in an open economy.

Answers
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
Cash flow = profit after tax + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(300,000 - 0) / 5 = $60,000
Profit after tax = (1 - tax rate) x (sales - expenses - depreciation)
0.6 x ($200,000 - $80,000 - $60,000) = $36,000
Cash flow = $36,000 + 60,000 = 96,000
Payback period = $300,000 / $96,000 = 3.1 years
The Work in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company has a $3,550 debit balance. The company applies overhead using direct labor cost.

Applied overhead= $3,550 - $1,610 - $870
Applied overhead=$1,070
Therefore the amount of applied overhead is:$1,070
