Answer:
a) 0% change
b) 0.393
Explanation:
Degree of operating leverage: DOL = 1 + [FC × (1 – TC) – TC × D]/OCF
Machine screws to be supplied = 28,000 tons
Initial investment in threading equipment = $4,800,000
project period = 5 years
annual fixed cost = $1,150,000
variable cost = $215 per ton = 215 * 28,000 = $6,020,000
salvage value of project after dismantling costs = $525,000
selling price of project = $320 per ton = $8,960,000
initial networking capital investment = $460,000
Return = 14%
tax rate = 25% = 0.25
a) Determine the percentage change in OCF if the units sold changes to 28,000
Given : DOL = 1 + [FC × (1 – TC) – TC × D]/OCF
OCF = [(contribution * number of units sold) - fixed costs] * ( 1-tax) + depreciation*tax ----------- ( 1 )
contribution = sales price - variable cost = 320 - 215 = $105
number of units sold = 28,000
depreciation = 4,800,000 / 5 = $960,000
back to equation 1
OCF = [[ ( 105 *28,000) - 1,150,000 ] * ( 1 - 0.25 ) + 960,000 * 0.25 ]
= $1,582,500
Hence the percentage change = 0% ( Initial units to be sold as given in the question = 28,000 as well )
b) Determine the DOL at the base-case level of output
DOL = 1 + [FC × (1 – TC) – TC × D] / OCF
= 1 + [ 1,150,000 * ( 1 - 0.25 ) - 0.25 * 960,000 ] / 1,582,500
= 622501 / 1,582,500 = 0.393

Primus has 50,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Sonston reports net income of $120,000 for the period with 40,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Sonston also has 10,000 stock warrants outstanding that allow the holder to acquire shares at $15.00 per share. The value of this stock was $30 per share throughout the year. Primus owns 5,900 of these warrants. What amount should Primus report for diluted earnings per share? (Round your intermediate percentage value to the nearest whole number and the final answer to 2 decimal places.) Diluted earnings per share
Answer:
Primus, Inc.
Diluted earnings per share is:
= $14.51.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Primus, Inc. Sonston, Inc. Consolidated
Current net income $520,000 $120,000 $640,000
Outstanding common stock 40,000 40,000 40,000
Outstanding stock warrants 4,100 4,100
Total outstanding stock 44,100
Diluted earnings per share = Total current net income/Total outstanding stock
= $640,000/44,100
= $14.51
b) Diluted EPS is an important capital ratio for stockholders as it shows the earnings that a stockholder will be entitled to if convertible shares such as employee stock options, warrants, and debts are actually converted into common stock.

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.

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?
Answer:
Horatio Alger
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.
d. Brand X's market share have to be 16.2% for it to have a $1 million profit impact.
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%
Pransit, a truck driver, was involved in a truck collision with a passenger car driven by Sanjay. He sued Sanjay for negligence and Sanjay defended by claiming that Pransit was negligent in his driving. The jury heard both sides of the case and was instructed by the judge on the rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence. The jury verdict concluded that Pransit suffered $60,000 damages and Sanjay was 75% negligent and Pransit was 25% negligent in contributing to his own harm. Pransit will recover: A. $15,000. B. $45,000 C. $60,000 D. nothing.
Answer:
Pransit will recover:
B. $45,000
Explanation:
a) The rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence will ensure that Pransit recovers some damages arising from the negligent deriving. However, the extent of the amount he will recover depends on the percentage of the defendant's fault. The implication is that Sanjay will be responsible for 75% of the damage while Pransit bears the remaining 25% (100% - 75%).
b) Amount of damages suffered by Pransit = $60,000
Percentage of Sanjay's negligence = 75%
Therefore, the damage liable to be paid by Sanjay to Pransit = $45,000 ($60,000 * 75%).

The coffee shop across the street from your tiny apartment is your haven away from home -- great beverages, healthy snacks, an atmosphere that is convivial but not so lively that you can't focus on homework, and free wifi. It lacks only one thing: some way to print out your homework and other files when you need hard copy. Your college's libraries and computer labs provide printers, but you live three miles from campus, and it's a long walk or an inconvenient bus ride.
Required:
Write a letter to the owner of the coffee shop, encouraging her to set up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Propose that the service run at break-even prices, just enough to pay for paper, ink cartridges, and the cost of the printer itself. The benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop. You might also mention that you had to take the bus to campus to print this letter, so you bought your afternoon late somewhere else.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Dear Mrs Parker,
I'm one of your numerous customers at your coffee shop and I must say it's really an amazing place and you're really doing a great job.
The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you about the few changes that you could make that'll bring further revenue to you and also be of immense benefit to your customers.
Firstly, I believe that you are aware that most of your customers are young people especially college students like myself. Printing out our school works and other printing works are really a challenge to us. There are no printing shops around and we've to take a bus back to the campus anytime we want to print and this is really costly and Tien consuming.
It'll be worth it if you consider setting up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Apart from the fact that the printing service runs at break even price, the benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop.
When the printing shop is opened, the college students among us will find it beneficial as we won't have to go back to the school campus in order to print.
Furthermore, when people come to the printing shop, they'll also realize that there's a coffee shop there as well, and this can bring about an increase in the demand for coffee which ultimately increases the revenue generated from the sale of coffee.
In conclusion, I hope this letter catches your attention which will be beneficial to everyone.

If there were no beginning work in process and no ending work in process under the weighted-average process costing method, the number of equivalent units for direct materials, if direct materials were added at the start of the process, would be __________________ A. More than the units started or transferred in during the period. B. Equal to the units completed during the period. C. Less than the units completed during the period. D. Equal to total of units started and units completed during the period.
Answer:
Equal to total of units started and units completed during the period
Explanation:
Equivalent units
These are said to be numbers of complete whole units that could be gotten from the material and effort evident or contained in partially completed units.
Equivalent units of production usually of weighted-average method is defined as the number of units taking oit or transferred to the next department or to finished goods during the timeframe in addition with the equivalent units in the departments' ending work in process inventory.
Equivalent Units of Production is simply known to be equal to the Units Transferred Out plus the Ending Units in Process.
Ending work-in-process
Beginning work in process is the addition that is Started in Process, minus units to be accounted for and minus units transferred out which will equal to ending work in process. Therefore, as a result of the fact that no beginning work-in-process and ending work-in-process is evident, the units started during the period is also the completed units on the same period.

A company is considering issuing long-term debt. The debt would have a thirty-year maturity and a ten percent coupon rate. In order to sell the issue, the bonds must be underpriced at a discount of five percent of face value. In addition, the company would have to pay flotation costs of five percent of face value. The firm's tax rate is 21 percent. Given this information, the annualized after-tax cost of debt for the company would be ________.
Answer:
Find detailed explanations below
Explanation:
First and foremost, the issue price of the bond is the face value minus adjustments for discount and flotation costs
issue price=$1000*(1-5%-5%)
issue price=$900
semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2
semiannual coupon=$1000*10%/2
semiannual coupon=$50
number of semiannual coupons in 30 years=30*2=60
Using a financial calculator, pretax cost of debt is computed thus:
N=60(number of semiannual coupons)
PMT=50(semiannual coupon)
PV=-900(price)
FV=1000(face value)
CPT
I/Y=5.58%(semiannual yield)
annual yield=5.58%*2=11.16%
after-tax cost of debt=annual yield*(1-tax rate)
tax rate=21%
after-tax cost of debt=11.16%*(1-21%)
after-tax cost of debt=8.82%
Alternative approach
Yield to Maturity [YTM] = Coupon Amount + [(Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]
semiannual YTM=50+(1000-900)/30/(1000+900)/2
semiannual YTM=(50+3.33)/950
semiannual YTM=5.61%
annual YTM=5.61%*2=11.22%
after-tax cost of debt=11.22%*(1-21%)
after-tax cost of debt=8.86%
Clean123 Inc. performs $1,000 of cleaning services for a customer. After 30 days, the customer pays 50% of the involce with a check. How will
this transaction be recorded?
The customer's payment will be recorded as a debit to(blank)
and a credit to Accounts Receivable.
Answer:
Debit to CashCredit to Accounts ReceivableExplanation:
When a Receivable pays their bill, the cash account will be debited to show that cash has come into the company because cash is an asset account and assets are debited when they increase.
Accounts Receivable is an asset account as well and when the Receivable pays, they are reducing the amount that they owe(as is the case here) so their account needs to be reduced. Assets are credited when they reduce so this will be credited.

What is the present value of 4360 to be received at the beginning of each of 30 periods discounted at 5% compound interest
Answer:
The right solution is "70375.08".
Explanation:
Given that,
Present value,
= 4360
Interest rate,
= 5%
Time period,
= 30
Now,
The present value of inflows will be:
= [tex](1+rate)\times \frac{Present \ value[1-(1+Interest \ rate)^{-time \ period}]}{rate}[/tex]
= [tex]1.05\times 4360\times \frac{[1-(1.05)^{-30}]}{0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]4360\times 16.1410736[/tex]
= [tex]70375.08[/tex]
Lannister Manufacturing has a target debt-equity ratio of .95. Its cost of equity is 11 percent, and its cost of debt is 7 percent. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
WACC= 5.6%
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund
WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)
After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)
Kd-After-tax cost of debt
Ke-Cost of equity
Wd-Weight f debt
We-Weight of equity
After tax cost of debt = (1-T)× Before-tax yield on debt
= (1-0.24)× 7
=5.32
Cost of equity = 11%
WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)
We= 5%, Wd= 95%
WACC= (5.32× 95%) + (11%× 5%)
= 5.6%
WACC= 5.6%

Nelson Won wants to withdraw $25,000 (including principal) from an investment fund at the end of each year for five years. How should he compute his required initial investment at the beginning of the first year if the fund earns 10% compounded annually
Answer:
Initial Investment= $94,769.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $25,000
Interest rate (i)= 10%
Number of periods (n)= 5 years
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 25,000*{(1/0.1) - 1/[0.1*(1.1^5)]}
PV= $94,769.7
Baskin Promotions, Incorporated sells T-shirts decorated for a variety of concert performers. The company has developed the following budget for the coming year based on a sales forecast of 77,000 T-shirts: Sales $ 1,345,190 Cost of Goods Sold 786,940 Gross Profit 558,250 Operating Expenses ($100,000 is fixed) 406,460 Operating Income 151,790 Income Taxes (30% of operating income) 45,537 Net Income $ 106,253 Cost of goods sold and variable operating expenses vary directly with sales, and the income tax rate is 30% at all levels of operating income. If the concert season is slow due to poor weather, Baskin estimates that sales could fall to as low as 57,000 T-shirts. What unit cost did Baskin use in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year
Answer:
$10.22
Explanation:
The computation of the unit cost used in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year is shown below;
= Cost of goods sold ÷ number of t-shirts
= $786,940 ÷ 77,000 shirts
= $10.22
By dividing the number of t-shirts from the cost of goods sold we can get the cost of goods sold per unit
hence, the answer is $10.22

Why wages differ
For each of the scenarios in the following table, indicate the most likely reason for the difference in earnings. Differences Differences in Human Capital Compensating in Natural Differential Labor
Scenario Ability Unions
1. A law firm hires Dina, a recent graduate from law school, and pays her an annual wage of $40,000. It also hires Ana, a second-year law student, and pays her an annual wage of $30,000. Dina and Ana were born in the same country, attended the same university, and studied in the same graduate program.
2. Major league soccer players earn more than minor league soccer players.
3. Three engineers have the same amount of schooling and work experience, but earn different wages. One is a computer engineer who designs and tests new computers for an annual wage of $55,000 per year. Another is a chemical engineer who works in a nuclear lab and performs experiments on radioactive materials for an annual wage of $70,000 per year. The third is a civil engineer who performs daily inspections of cables on a suspension bridge for an annual wage of $93,000 per year
Answer:
Differences in human capital
Differences in Natural Ability
Compensating differentials
Explanation:
Human capital is an example of an intangible asset. It is the economic value attached to labours' skills and expertise.
Qualities of human capital includes
• Education.
• on-the-job training.
• Hard work
• experience
• Mental and emotional well-being.
• People management.
• Communication skills.
In case 1, the law graduate is more educated than the student. thus, differences in human capital accounts for the pay difference
In case 2, the skills of the players differs and this accounts for pay differences
In case 3, pay differs by riskiness of the job. thus compensating differential is responsible for pay differences
During 2020, Lincoln Company hires 12 individuals who are certified to be members of a qualifying targeted group. Each employee works in excess of 600 hours and is paid wages of $13,600 during the year. Lincoln Company's work opportunity credit is_____.
Answer:
The work opportunity credit is $28,800
Explanation:
As we can see that the employees work more than 400 hours so here the company would be eligible for taking the full credit
The credit should be claimed till 40% of the first $6,000 that could allowed maximum credit of $2,400 per employee
Work opportunity credit is
= (6000 × 40%) × 12 individuals
= $28,800
Hence, the work opportunity credit is $28,800
A museum of natural history opened a gift shop that operates throughout the year. Top-selling product is a bird feeder. Annual demand for the bird feeder is 933 units. Cost per order is $55. Annual holding cost per unit is $19. Assuming that the shop uses the EOQ as the order size, what would be the total holding cost for the bird feeder
Answer:
$1396.5
Explanation:
EOQ or economic order quantity formula is given as:
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2DC_o}{H_c}}[/tex]
Where, D = demand per year
C_0 = ordering cost and H_c = holding cost per unit per year
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2\times933\times55}{19}}[/tex]
EOQ= 73.5 units
Since, the order size is EOQ then, total holding cost
= holding cost per unit per year × EOQ
=73.5×19
=$1396.5
