Horatio Alger has just become product manager for Brand X. Brand X is a consumer product with a retail price of $1.00. Retail margins on the product are 33%, while wholesalers take a 12% margin. Brand X and its direct competitors sell a total of 20 million units annually; Brand X has 24% of this market. Variable manufacturing costs for Brand X are $0.09 per unit. Fixed manufacturing costs are $900,000. The advertising budget for Brand X is $500,000. The Brand X product manager's salary and expenses total $35,000. Salespeople are paid entirely by a 10% commission. Shipping costs, breakage, insurance, and so forth are $0.02 per unit.
1. What is the unit contribution for Brand X?
2. What is Brand X's break-even point?
3. What market share does Brand X need to break even?
4. What is Brand X's profit impact? Industry demand is expected to increase to 23 million units next year. Mr. Alger is considering raising his advertising budget to $1 million.
a. If the advertising budget is raised, how many units will Brand X have to sell to break even?
b. How many units will Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year?
c. What will Brand X's market share have to be next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year?
d. What will Brand X's market share have to be for it to have a $1 million profit impact?
5. Upon reflection, Mr. Alger decides not to increase Brand X's advertising budget. Instead, he thinks he might give retailers an incentive to promote Brand X by raising their margins from 33% to 40%. The margin increase would be accomplished by lowering the price of the product to retailers. Wholesaler margins would remain at 12%.
a. If retailer margins are raised to 40% next year, how many units will Brand X have to sell to break even?
b. How many units will Brand X have to sell to achieve the same profit impact next year as it did this year?
c. What would Brand X's market share have to be for its profit impact to remain at this year's level?
d. What would Brand X's market share have to be for it to generate a profit impact of $350,000?

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue =              $1.00  $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing                         $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense            $0.02

Total variable costs per unit   $0.21  $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79  $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing                $900,000

Advertising                       500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000    $1,435,000

Net income =                                     $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15)  to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

=  $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%

The management of Lanzilotta Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $191,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $108,000, which includes depreciation of $21,000. The scrap value of the project's assets at the end of the project would be $26,200. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to :___________

Answers

Answer:

1 year 5 month

Explanation:

The Project Cash flow Summary is as follows :

Year 0 = -$191,000

Year 1 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 2 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 3 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 4 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 5 = $108,000 + $21,000 = $129,000

Year 6 = $108,000 + $21,000 + $26,200 = $155,200

Payback Period is the term used to determine how long the future cash flows would equal the amount invested.

$191,000 = $129,000 + 62,000/ $129,000 x 12

The future cash flows will equal $191,000 in 1 year 5 months.

the total surface area of hemisphere is 4158sq then what is the circumference of the base

Answers

Answer:

C = 132 units

Explanation:

Given the following data;

TSA of hemisphere = 4158 sq units

To find the circumference of the base;

Mathematically, the total surface area of a hemisphere is given by the formula;

TSA of hemisphere = 3πr²

First of all, we would determine the radius of the hemisphere.

4158 = 3 * 22/7 * r²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

4158 * 7 = 3 * 22 * r²

29106 = 66r²

r² = 29106/66

r² = 441

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

r = √441

r = 21 units

Next, we determine the circumference of the base using the same radius;

Circumference of circle, C = 2πr

C = 2 * 22/7 * 21

C = 924/7

C = 132 units

On October 1, 2020, Adams Company paid $4,800 for a one-year insurance policy with the insurance coverage beginning on that date.

A newly formed company purchases investments classified as available-for-sale securities at a cost of $13,000. At the end of the year, the market value of the securities was $11,000. The financial statements at the end of the year would show which of the following?
A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet
B. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
C. Income Statement loss of $2,000 Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
D. Loss of $2,000 on the income statement Temporary investments of $11,000 on the balance sheet

Answers

Answer: A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.

Explanation:

Available-For-Sale (AFS) securities are not to have their gains or losses reflected in the income statement. They are to be reflected in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) section of the Stockholders Equity.

If there is a loss, the AFS security is written down by the loss amount which is then transferred to the OCI section of equity as an unrealized loss. It will reduce the OCI which would reduce the stockholders equity.

In this case therefore, AFS would go to $11,000 and OCI would record an unrealized loss of $2,000.

A dwelling with a replacement cost of $150,000 was insured under a Homeowners 3 policy for $105,000 at the time the roof was destroyed by a windstorm. The actual cash value of the loss was $10,000, but it will cost $15,000 to replace the roof. Ignoring any deductible, what will the insurer pay to settle this loss

Answers

Answer: $13125

Explanation:

The amount that the insurer will pay to settle this loss will be calculated thus:

= Insured claim × Insurance value / 80% of replacement value

= 15000 × 105,000 /80% × 150000.

= 15000 × 105,000 / 120000

= 13125

Therefore, the insurer will pay $13125

Olga's Company has a sales budget for next month of $150,000. Cost of goods sold is expected to be 40 percent of sales. All goods are purchased in the month used and paid for in the month following purchase. The beginning inventory of merchandise is $5,000, and an ending inventory of $6,000 is desired. Beginning accounts payable is $38,000. The cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be a.$60,000. b.$40,000. c.$89,000. d.$90,000.

Answers

Answer:

a. $60,000

Explanation:

Costs of goods sold = Budgeted sales for next month * 40%

Costs of goods sold = $150,000 * 40%

Costs of goods sold = $60,000

So therefore, the cost of goods sold for next month is expected to be $60,000.

Being Human, Inc., recently issued new securities to finance a new TV show. The project cost $14.6 million, and the company paid $785,000 in flotation costs. In addition, the equity issued had a flotation cost of 7.6 percent of the amount raised, whereas the debt issued had a flotation cost of 3.6 percent of the amount raised. If the company issued new securities in the same proportion as its target capital structure, what is the company’s target debt-equity ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)

Answers

Answer: 1.6631

Explanation:

The company’s target debt-equity ratio will be calculated thus:

Let's assume x = equity

Let's assume (1-x) = debt

Total funds needed = $14,600,000 + $785,000 = $15,385,000

Then, we calculate the flotation which will be:

15,385,000 × (1 - f) = 14,600,000

15,385,000 - 15,385,000f = 14,600,000

-15,385,000f = 14,600,000 - 15385000

- 15,385,000f = -785,000

f = -785000 / -15385000

f = 0.05102

Then,

(7.6% × x) + (3.6% × 1-x) = 0.05102

(0.076 × x) + (0.036 × 1-x) = 0.05102

0.076x + 0.036 - 0.036x = 0.05102

0.076x - 0.036x = 0.05102 - 0.036

0.04x = 0.01502

x = 0.01502/0.04

x = 0.3755

Equity = 0.3755 = 3.755%

Debt = 1-x = 1 - 0.3755 = 0.6245

Debt equity ratio = Debt / Equity

= 0.6245/0.3755

= 1.6631

The debt-equity ratio is 1.6631.

A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 36%, while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 16%. The correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is 0.30. Stock A comprises 30% of the portfolio, while stock B comprises the rest of the portfolio. What is the standard deviation of the return on this portfolio?

Answers

Answer: 17.7%

Explanation:

Standard deviation of portfolio = √(Weight of A² * Standard deviation of A² + Weight of B² * Standard deviation of B² + 2 * Weight of A * Weight of B * Correlation coefficient of A and B * Standard deviation of A * Standard deviation of B)

= √(30%² * 36%² + 70%² * 16%² + 2 * 30% * 70% * 0.30 * 36% * 16%)

= √0.0314656

= 17.7%

Allen Corporation has provided the following information: Cash sales totaled $120,000. Credit sales totaled $209,000. Cash collections from customers for services yet to be provided totaled $38,000. Interest income totaled $7,700. Interest expense totaled $14,000 Required: How much of these items should be included in calculating operating income

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The Interest Income and Interest Expense would not be considered while determining the operating income

The cash collections from customers would be treated to be an unearned revenue so the same would be deduted from the sales  

The Cash Sales would be

= $120,000 - $38,000

= $82,000.

And, the Credit Sales would be $209,000.

SO, the Total Sales is

= $82,000 + $209,000

= $291,000.

The Unearned Revenue of $38,000 would be shown in the Current Liabilities section of the Balance Sheet.

A firm has three different investment options. Option A will give the firm $10 million at the end of one year, $10 million at the end of two years, and $10 million at the end of three years. Option B will give the firm $15 million at the end of one year, $10 million at the end of two years, and $5 million at the end of three years. Option C will give the firm $30 million at the end of one year, and nothing thereafter. Which of these options has the highest present value?

a. Option A
b. Option B
c. Option C
c. The depends on the rate of interest, which is not specified here

Answers

I would say that the answer is the second c which is below the first c these answer choices are confusing.

Net Present Value depends on the rate of interest, which is not specified here so we can not take any decision regarding the other options. The correct option is d.

The interest rate applied, which takes into account both the investment's risk and the time value of money, determines the present value of future cash flows. We cannot appropriately calculate the present value or compare the options without knowing the discount rate.

The future cash flows must be discounted to their present value using the proper discount rate in order to determine which option has the highest present value.

Thus, the ideal selection is option d.

Lena is a sole proprietor. In April of this year, she sold equipment purchased four years ago for $53,200 with an adjusted basis of $31,920 for $35,112. Later in the year, Lena sold another piece of equipment purchased two years ago with an adjusted basis of $15,960 for $10,374. What is the amount and character of Lena's gain or loss?

Answers

Answer:

Ordinary gain $3,192; Loss $5,586

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount and character of Lena's gain or loss

Based on the information given she has an ORDINARY GAIN § 1245 DEPRECIATION RECAPTURE of the amount of $3,192 calculated as ($35,112 − $31,920) from the sale of the first equipment as well as § 1231 LOSS of the amount of $5,586 ($10,374 − $15,960) from the sale of the second equipment.

Therefore the amount and character of Lena's gain or loss will be Ordinary gain of $3,192 and Loss of $5,586.

The company has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6%, and sells for 97% of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5%, and sells for 108% of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $3.25 and the dividend growth rate is 5%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21%. What is the company’s WACC?

Cal Poly Corporation would like to start a new project: building a high-tech rose float for the next regional contest. This rose float project will require $35,000 in the initial cost. The company is planning to raise this amount of money by selling new corporate bonds and new stocks. It has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, and 40 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock is 7%, and for new debt it is 4%.
(a) The true required initial investment that Cal Poly Corporation should use in its valuation of the rose is:_____.
1. $36,920.
2. $36,820.
3. $35,000.
4. $33,180.
(b) The lower the flotation costs, the lower the initial investment that needs to be used in project valuation, and so the lower the project's Net Present Value. This statement is____.
1. True
2. False

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

a.

Given that

Weight of Equity = 0.4

Weight of Debt = 0.6

The Flotation cost of Capital = Weight of Equity × Flotation cost of Equity + Weight of Debt × Flotation cost of Debt

= 7 × 0.4 + 4 × 0.6

= 5.2

Now  

True cost is

= initial investment ÷ (1 - flotation cost %)

=  $35,000 ÷ (1 - 0.052)

= $36,920

b

In the case when there is a less flotation cost so it would decreased the initial investment due to this there would be an increase in net present value

hence, the given statement is false

Answers

Answer:

Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard quantity 7.5 liters per unit Standard price $ 2.00 per liter

Actual production was 3,400 units.

The company used 26,200 liters of direct material.

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (7.5*3,400 - 26,200)*2

Direct material quantity variance= (25,500 - 26,200)*2

Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable

Rock Adventures has 15 employees each working 40 hours per week and earning $30 an hour. Federal income taxes are withheld at 15% and state income taxes at 6%. FICA taxes are 7.65% and unemployment taxes are 3.8% of the first $7,000 earned per employee. What is the actual direct deposit of payroll for the first week of January

Answers

Answer:

the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843

Explanation:

The computation of the actual direct deposit payroll is shown below;

= Total salary - withholdings

= (15 × 40 × $30) - Federal income tax - state income tax - FICA tax

= $18,000 - ($18,000 × 0.15) - ($18,000 × 0.06) - ($18,000 × 7.65%)

= $12,843

Hence, the actual direct deposit payroll is $12,843

Basically we applied the above formula

Collins Co. produces 10,000 units of sewing machines annually. Per unit data are given below: Selling price $150 Direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead 60 Fixed manufacturing overhead 30 Variable selling and administrative expenses 40 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 10 The company has received a special, one-time-only order for 400 units of the product with a selling price of $100. There would be a 60% reduction in variable selling and administrative expenses on this special order. In addition, total fixed manufacturing overhead and total fixed selling and administrative expenses of the company would not be affected by the order. If Collins Co. accepts the order, it will have no effect on other customers. What is the financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the special order

Answers

Answer:

$9,600 Financial advantage

Explanation:

Variable Cost per unit for special order = $60 + $40*40%

Variable Cost per unit for special order = $60 + $16

Variable Cost per unit for special order = $76

The financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the special order = Sales Revenue from special offer - Variable Cost Cost for special offers

= $100*400 units - $76*400 units

= $40,000 - $30,400

= $9,600 Financial advantage (Disadvantage).

the wacc approach to valuation is not as useful as the apv approach in leveraged buyouts because: the capital structure is changing. there is no tax shield with the wacc. the value of the levered and unlevered firms are equal. the unlevered and levered cash flows are separated which cannot be used with the wacc approach. there is greater risk with a lbo.

Answers

Answer:

the capital structure is changing

Explanation:

As we know that wacc approach used to determined the cost of capital by taking the cost and weightage of the capital structure i.e. debt, equity and the preferred stock The same would not be useful for the valuation purpose as the apv approach in the leveraged buyouts because the capital structure i.e. debt, equity and the preferred stock keeps changing

It does not remian constant

Therefore the same would be considered
