Suppose that the supply function for honey is p=S(q)=0.4q+2.8, where p is the price in dollars for an 8-oz container and q is the quantity in barrels. Suppose also that the equilibrium price is $4.80 and the demand is 4 barrels when the price is $6.90. Find an equation for the demand function, assuming it is linear.
Answer:
The demand function is p= (-2.1)*q + 15.3
Explanation:
The supply function for honey is p=S(q)=0.4*q+2.8, where p is the price in dollars for an 8-oz container and q is the quantity in barrels. The equilibrium price is $4.80. So, the equilibrium quantity is:
4.80=0.4*q+2.8
Solving:
4.80 - 2.8=0.4*q
2=0.4*q
2÷0.4= q
5=q
The demand function, assuming it is linear, is p=m*q+b
The equilibrium quantity is 5 barrels and the equilibrium price is $4.80; and the demand is 4 barrels when the price is $6.90. So:
[tex]\left \{ {{4.80=m*5+b} \atop {6.90=m*4+b}} \right.[/tex]
Isolating the variable "b" from the first equation, you get:
4.80 - m*5= b
Replacing the previous expression in the second equation you get:
6.90=m*4 + 4.80 - m*5
6.90 - 4.80=m*4 - m*5
2.1= (-1)*m
2.1÷(-1)= m
-2.1=m
Replacing the value of "m" in the expression 4.80 - m*5= b you get:
4.80 - (-2.1)*5= b
Solving you get:
15.3= b
So, the demand function is p= (-2.1)*q + 15.3

Suppose that you have the following information for an economy:______.
Marginal propensity to consume - MPC 0.80 Autonomous consumption - A $500 Planned investment - PI $600 Net exports - NX -$400 Government spending - G $300
You will need this information for the questions that follow.
Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
Answer:
Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $4,600.
Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,000.
Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,400.
Explanation:
The aggregate expenditure (AE) can be calculated using the following formula:
AE = (A + (MPC * Y)) + PI + G + NX ………………. (1)
Where;
AE = aggregate expenditure = ?
A = Autonomous consumption = $500
MPC = Marginal propensity to consume = 0.80
Y = Real GDP
PI = Planned investment = $600
G = Government spending = $300
NX = Net exports = -$400
Based on the above, we can now proceed as follows:
Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
This implies that:
Y = Real GDP = $4,500
Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:
AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $4,500)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $4,600
Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $4,600.
Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
This implies that:
Y = Real GDP = $5,000
Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:
AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $5,000)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $5,000
Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,000.
Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.
This implies that:
Y = Real GDP = $5,500
Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:
AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $5,500)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $5,400
Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,400.

(2) A strike by the employees of a supplier resulted in a loss of $125,000. (3) The inventory at December 31, 2018 was overstated by $200,000. The effect of these events and transactions on 2020 income from continuing operations net of tax would be A. ($280,000). B. ($380,000). C. ($220,000). D. ($100,000).
Answer:
D. ($100,000)
Explanation:
Calculation for what The effect of these events and transactions on 2020 income from continuing operations net of tax would be
Continuing operations net of tax=(20%*$125,000)-$125,000
Continuing operations net of tax=$25,000-$125,000
Continuing operations net of tax=($100,000)
Therefore The effect of these events and transactions on 2020 income from continuing operations net of tax would be ($100,000)

If there are important external benefits associated with the consumption of a product:_______.
A. special excise taxes should be levied on producers of the product.
B. the market supply curve for the product lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources.
C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.
D. government should enact legislation to prohibit the production of the commodity.
Answer:
C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.
Explanation:
Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.
Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.
Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.
So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).
A corporation is concerned about their exposure to criminal liability after the most recent election cycle placed a number of new legislators in Congress who campaigned against corporate corruption. Select the strategy that would be least effective in reducing the company's criminal liability.
A. It could prioritize ethical leadership when making hiring decisions for management-level positions.
B. It could encourage reporting by establishing internal protections for whistleblowers beyond what is provided by Congressional law.
C. It could strengthen its code of ethics to reflect the current political mood.
D. It could donate to the election campaigns of the new members of Congress to establish goodwill.
Answer:
The strategy that would be least effective in reducing the company's criminal liability is:
D. It could donate to the election campaigns of the new members of Congress to establish goodwill.
Explanation:
While the other three options will effectively reduce the company's criminal liability exposure, option D is the least that is likely to have a positive or effective effect. This implies that option D is most likely to aggravate the criminal liability of the company as it will be regarded as bribery to cover up a crime.

The Central Publishing Company is about to publish its first reference book in managerial economics. It is now in the process of estimating costs. It expects to produce 10,000 copies during its first year. The following costs have been estimated to correspond to the expected copies.
a. Paper Stock $8.000
b. Typesetting $15,000
c. Printing $50,000
d. Art (including graphs) $9.000
e. Editing $20,000
f. Reviews $3,000
g. Promotion and advertising $12,000
h. Binding $22.000
i. Shipping $10,000
In addition to the preceding costs, it expects to pay the authors a 13 percent royalty and its salespeople a 3 percent commission. These percentages will be based on the publisher’s price of $48 per book. Some of the preceding costs are fixed and others are variable. The average variable costs are expected to be constant. Although 10,000 copies is the projected volume, the book could sell anywhere between 0 and 20,000 copies.
Using the preceding data,
1. Write equations for total cost, average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost.
2. Draw the cost curves for quantities from 0 to 20,000 (in intervals of 2,000).
Answer:
Total Cost is the cost that is fixed and does not vary directly with the level of output. According to this question typesetting, printing, editing, reviews, promotion, and advertising are fixed costs. The total fixed cost here is $100000.
Total Variable Cost is the costs that vary directly with the level of output. Variable costs are incurred on variable factors. The Total Variable Cost here is $49000.
Marginal cost is addition to the total cost when one more unit of output is produced.
EQUATIONS
TC = 100000 + 4.9Q
ATC = 100000 + 4.9Q / Q
AVQ = 4.9Q / Q
MC = Change in Total Cost / Change in Quantity = 4.9
GRAPH
Is attached as picture.
Conclusion: The AVC and MC both are equal to 4.9.

Therefore the option b is correct
Fast Co. produces its product through two processing departments. Direct materials are added at the start of production in the Cutting department, and conversion costs are added evenly throughout each process. The company uses monthly reporting periods for its weighted-average process costing system. The Work in Process Inventory-Cutting account has a balance of $89,300 as of October 1, which consists of $18,600 of direct materials and $70,700 of conversion costs. During the month, the Cutting department incurred the following costs: Direct materials$141,150Conversion 915,400At the beginning of the month, 32,500 units were in process. During October, the company started 145,000 units and transferred 155,000 units to the Assembly department. At the end of the month, the Cutting department's work in process inventory consisted of 22,500 units that were 80% complete with respect to conversion costs.
Required:
1. Prepare the company's process cost summary for October using the weighted-average method.
2. Prepare the journal entry dated October 31 to transfer the cost of the completed units to finished goods inventory
Answer:
Part 1
Fast Co.
Process cost summary for October
Cost Summary :
Completed units to finished goods inventory = $1,023,000
Units in Ending Work In Process = $122,850
Part 2
Journal Entry to transfer the cost of the completed units to finished goods inventory
Debit : Finished Goods $1,023,000
Credit : Assembly Department $1,023,000
Explanation:
It is important to note Fast Co. uses weighted-average method. This means we are only interested in the Equivalent units of units completed and transferred and units in Ending Work in Process.
Step 1 ; Calculate Equivalent Units of Production
Materials = 155,000 x 100 % + 22,500 x 100 % = 177,500 units
Conversion Costs = 155,000 x 100 % + 22,500 x 80 % = 173,000 units
Step 2 : Calculate Total Cost of Materials and Conversion Cost
Materials = $18,600 + $141,150 = $159,750
Conversion Cost = $70,700 + $915,400 = $986,100
Step 3 : Calculate the Equivalent Cost per Unit
Materials = $159,750 ÷ 177,500 units = $0.90
Conversion Costs = $986,100 ÷ 173,000 units = $5.70
Total = $0.90 + $5.70 = $6.60
Step 4 : Cost of completed units to finished goods inventory
Completed units to finished goods inventory = $6.60 x 155,000 units
= $1,023,000
Step 5 : Cost of units in Ending Work In Process
Units in Ending Work In Process = $0.90 x 22,500 + $5.70 x 18,000
= $122,850
Value Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $500 per month plus $76 per job plus $14 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in June to be 17 jobs and 147 meals, but the actual activity was 13 jobs and 144 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in June was $3,340. The catering supplies in the planning budget for June would be closest to:
Answer:
$3,504
Explanation:
Catering supplies = $500 + $76 x j + $14 x m
where,
j = number of jobs in a month
m = number of meals in a month
therefore,
Planning budget for June, use the Actual number of jobs and meals into the formula (Actual Activity).
June Catering supplies = $500 + $76 x 13+ $14 x 144
= $3,504
Conclusion
The catering supplies in the planning budget for June would be closest to $3,504.
Multiple Choice Question Valpar Company produces several lines of laundry hampers. The factory is highly automated and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate overhead costs to its various products. During the upcoming period the company expects to produce 72,000 units. The costs and cost drivers associated with four activity cost pools are given below: Activities Unit Level Batch Level Product Level Facility Level Cost $20,000 $10,000 $15,000 $36,000 Cost Driver 4,000 labor hours 400 set-ups % of use 72,000 units Production of 20,000 units of its popular foldable hamper required 2,000 labor hours, 20 setups, and consumed one-quarter of the product sustaining activities. What amount of batch-level costs will be allocated to the product
Answer:
$500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product
Using this formula
Allocation rate=(Total batch level overhead cost/Total activity base ) * Set-ups
Let plug in the formula
Allocation rate=( $10,000/400 set-ups) *20 set-ups
Allocation rate=$25 per set-up *20 set-ups
Allocation rate=$500
Therefore the amount of batch-level costs that will be allocated to the product is $500
Assume that the CBL is not marketable at split-off but must be planed and sized at a cost of $300,000 per production run. During this process, 10,000 units are unavoidably lost and have no value. The remaining units of CBL are salable at $14 per unit. The RBL, although salable immediately at the split-off point, is coated with a tarlike preservative that costs $200,000 per production run. The RBL is then sold for $12 each. Using the net realizable value basis, how much of the completion costs should be assigned to each unit of CBL
Question
Northwest Building Products (NBP) manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process: residential building lumber (RBL) and commercial building lumber (CBL). A standard production run incurs joint costs of $350,000 and results in 100,000 units of RBL and 90,000 units of CBL. Each RBL sells for $13 per unit and each CBL sells for $13 per unit.
Assume that the CBL is not marketable at split-off but must be planed and sized at a cost of $300,000 per production run. During this process, 10,000 units are unavoidably lost and have no value. The remaining units of CBL are salable at $14 per unit. The RBL, although salable immediately at the split-off point, is coated with a tarlike preservative that costs $200,000 per production run. The RBL is then sold for $12 each. Using the net realizable value basis, how much of the completion costs should be assigned to each unit of CBL
Answer:
Completion cost per unit of CBL=$5.82
Explanation:
Joint cost is the total cost incurred from the start of start of production process up until the split off point where two or more products result from the same process. The joint products in this case are CBL and RBL
The completion cost of CBL is the sum of the apportioned joint cost at the split-off point plus the further processing cost
Completion cost = apportioned joint cost + further processing cost
Joint cost can be apportioned using the net realizable value as follows
Total net realizable value at the split of point for the two product=
RBL =$13 × 100,000=1,300,000
CBL =$13 × 90,000=1,170,000
Total 2,470,000
Apportioned joint cost to CBL = sales value of CBL/Total sales of product× joint cost
= (1,170,000/2,470,000)*$350,000= 165,789.47
Completion cost = 165,789.47 + 300,000 = $465,789.47
Completion cost per unit of CBL = Completion cost/Expected unit
=$465,789.47/(90,000-10,000) units
=$5.82
Note that the expected units is that available for sale after normal loss as be accounted for. So, we deduct the loss units
Completion cost per unit of CBL=$5.82
ou were left $100,000 in a trust fund set up by your grandfather. The fund pays 6.5% interest. You must spend the money on your college education, and you must withdraw the money in 4 equal installments, beginning immediately. How much could you withdraw today and at the beginning of each of the next 3 years and end up with zero in the account
Answer:
$27,408.71
Explanation:
The question requires us to find the amount of annual withdrawals that can be made out of the investment. Thus use the time value of money techniques to find the missing parameter of payment (pmt)
PV = $100,000
i = 6.5%
n = 4
p/yr = 1
FV = $0
PMT = ?
Thus, the annual withdrawals that can be made out of the investment is $27,408.71
Morris Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Morris Company estimated total overhead costs to be $400,000, and direct labor costs to be $2,000,000. Actual overhead costs for the year totaled $380,000, and actual direct labor costs totaled $1,800,000. At year-end, the balance in the Factory Overhead account is a:_________.
a. $360,000 Debit balance.
b. $20,000 Credit balance.
c. $400,000 Credit balance.
d. $20,000 Debit balance.
e. $380,000 Debit balance.
Answer:
Option d ($20,000 Debit balance) is the appropriate option.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Total overhead costs,
= $400,000
Direct labor costs,
= $2,000,000
Actual overhead incurred,
= $380,000
Actual direct labor costs,
= $1,800,000
Now,
As a % of labor cost, the OH will be:
= [tex]\frac{400000}{2000000}\times 100[/tex]
= [tex]20 \ percent[/tex]
The absorbed overhead will be:
= [tex]1800000\times 20 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]360,000[/tex]
Then,
The balance in overhead account will be:
= Actual overhead incurred - Absorbed overhead
= [tex]380000 - 360000[/tex]
= [tex]20,000[/tex] ($) (Debit balance)
The management of Maltwo Co. asks your help in determining the comparative effects of the FIFO and LIFO inventory cost flow methods. For 2015, the accounting records show the following data. Inventory, January 1 (10,000 units) $ 37,000 Cost of 110,000 units purchased 479,000 Selling price of 90,000 units sold 720,000 Operating expenses 150,000 Units purchased consisted of 40,000 units at $4.20 on May 10; 50,000 units at $4.40 on August 15; and 20,000 units at $4.55 on November 20. Income taxes are 30%. Instructions: Prepare comparative condensed income statements for 2015 under FIFO and LIFO. (Show computations of ending inventory.) Answer the following questions for management. Which inventory cost flow method produces the most meaningful inventory amount for the balance sheet? Why? Which inventory cost flow method produces the most meaningful net income? Why? How muc
Answer:
Net income for Maltwo Co. is $132,300
Explanation:
FIFO
Sold 90,000 units
Cost of sold units =
opening 10,000 units for $3.7 = $37,000
purchased 40,000 units for $4.20 = $168,000
purchased 40,000 units for $4.4 = $176,000
Total cost of goods sold = $381,000
Sales = $720,000
less: cost of goods sold = $381,000
less: operating expenses = $150,000
Operating income = $189,000
less: Income tax 30% = $56,700
Net Income = $132,300
LIFO
Sold 90,000 units
Cost of sold units =
purchased 20,000 units for $4.55 = $91,000
purchased 50,000 units for $4.40 = $220,000
purchased 20,000 units for $4.20 = $84,000
Total cost of goods sold = $395,000
Sales = $720,000
less: cost of goods sold = $395,000
less: operating expenses = $150,000
Operating income = $175,000
less: Income tax 30% = $52,500
Net Income = $122,500
Most meaningful net income is calculated by FIFO because in most of the businesses goods purchased first are sold first and if not then the goods purchased the earliest cross its expiry date and eventually results in a loss for the company.
So the net income for Maltwo Co. is $132,300

Explanation:
1. Calculation to Construct a cost-volume-profit chart , indicating the break-even sales for last year.
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin using this formula
Contribution margin = unit selling price - variable costper unit
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin =250-175
Contribution margin = 75
Second step is to calculate the Contribution margin Ratio using this formula
Contribution margin Ratio = Contribution margin /unit selling price
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin Ratio = 75/250
Contribution margin Ratio = 30%
Now let calculate the Break-even sales (dollars) using this formula
Break-even sales (dollars) = fixed costs /Contribution margin Ratio
Let plug in the formula
Break-even sales (dollars) = 75,000/30%
Break-even sales (dollars) = $250,000
Therefore Break-even sales (dollars) is $250,000
Calculation for Break-even sales (units) using this formula
Break-even sales (units) = fixed costs /Contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Break-even sales (units) = 75,000/75
Break-even sales (units) = 1000
Therefore Break-even sales (units) is 1000
2a. Calculation to determine the income from operations for last year Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (1)
First step is to calculate the No of Unit sold using this formula
No of Unit sold = Sale /Sale Price
Let plug in the formula
No of Unit sold = 500000/250
No of Unit sold= 2000
Now let calculate the Income from operations for last year Using this formula
Income from operations for last year = Contribution margin*No of Unit sold - Fixed cost
Let plug in the formula
Income from operations for last year = 75*2000 - 75000
Income from operations for last year = $ 75,000
Therefore Income from operations for last year is $75,000
2b. Calculation to determine the maximum income from operations that could have been realized during the year Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (1)
Using this formula
Maximum income from operations = Contribution margin*No of Maximum Unit can be sold - Fixed cost
Let plug in the formula
Maximum income from operations = 75*2500 - 75000
Maximum income from operations = $ 112,500
Therefore Maximum income from operations is $ 112,500
3. Calculation to Construct a cost-volume-profit chart indicating the break-even sales for the current year
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin using this formula
Contribution margin = unit selling price - variable costper unit
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin =250-175
Contribution margin = 75
Second step is to calculate the Contribution margin Ratio using this formula
Contribution margin Ratio = Contribution margin /unit selling price
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin Ratio = 75/250
Contribution margin Ratio = 30%
Third step is to calculate the Total fixed costs
Total fixed costs = 75,000+33,750
Total fixed costs = $108,750
Now let calculate the Break-even sales (dollars) using this formula
Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed costs /Contribution margin Ratio
Let plug in the formula
Break-even sales (dollars) = 108,750/30%
Break-even sales (dollars) =$362,500
Therefore the Break-even sales (dollars) is $362,500
Calculation for the Break-even sales (units) using this formula
Let plug in the formula
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed costs /Contribution margin
Break-even sales (units) = 108,750/75
Break-even sales (units) = 1450
Therefore the Break-even sales (units) is 1450
4a. Calculation to determine (a) the income from operations if sales total 2,000 units Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (3)
First step is to calculate the No of Unit sold Using this formula
No of Unit sold = Sale /Sale Price
Let plug in the formula
No of Unit sold = 500,000/250
No of Unit sold 2000
Now let calculate the Income from operations for last year using this formula
Income from operations for last year = Contribution margin*No of Unit sold - Fixed cost
Let plug in the formula
Income from operations for last year = 75*2000 - 108,750
Income from operations for last year = $ 41,250
Therefore Income from operations for last year is $41,250
4b. Calculation to determine (b) the maximum income from operations that could be realized during the year Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (3)
Using this formula
Maximum income from operations = Contribution margin*No of Maximum Unit can be sold - Fixed cost
Let plug in the formula
Maximum income from operations = 75*2500 -108,750
Maximum income from operations = $ 78,750
Therefore Maximum income from operations is $ 78,750
The break-even sales are the point where the total revenue is equal to total costs. The break-even sales for the current period after the calculation is $$362,500.
What do you mean by Break-even sales?Break-even sales are the amount of revenue in which the business gains zero profit. This sale price includes exactly the core fixed costs of the business, as well as all the variable costs associated with the sale.
As per the information available:
1. We will construct a cost-volume-profit chart, indicating the break-even sales for last year. The first step is to calculate the Contribution margin using this formula:
[tex]\rm\,Contribution \;margin = Unit \;Selling \; Price - Variable \; Cost \;Per \;Unit[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Contribution\; Margin =250-175\\\\Contribution \;margin = \$75[/tex]
Next, we have to calculate the contribution margin ratio:
[tex]\rm\,Contribution \; Margin \; Ratio = \dfrac{Contribution \;Margin \;}{Unit \;Selling \;Price}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Contribution \;Margin\; Ratio = \dfrac{75}{250}\\\\Contribution \;Margin\; Ratio = 30\%[/tex]
Calculation of the Break-even sales (dollars) using this formula:
[tex]\rm\,Break- \;Even \;Sales \;(dollars) = \dfrac{\; Fixed \;Costs }{Contribution \;Margin \; Ratio \;}[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Break- \;even \;sales (dollars) = \dfrac{75,000}{30\%}\\\\Break- \;even \; sales \; (dollars) = \$250,000[/tex]
Thus Break-even sales are $250,000
The calculation for Break-even sales (units) using this formula:
[tex]\rm\,Break-\,even \,sales \,(units) =\dfrac{ Fixed\, Costs}{Contribution\, margin}[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Break-even \;Sales (units) = \dfrac{75,000}{75}\\\\Break \;-even \;Sales \;(units) = 1000[/tex]
Similarly, we can apply the same formula of the above calculation for number 3. that is to calculate the break-even sales for the current year which is equal to Break-even sales (dollars) is $362,500 and Break-even sales (units) is 1450.
2. Calculation to determine the income from operations for last year Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (1):
The number of units sold will be equal to sale divided by selling price per unit:
[tex]\dfrac{\$500,000}{\$250} = 2,000\rm\,Units[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Income \;from\; operations\; for \;last \;year = Contribution\; margin\times No \;of \;Unit\; sold - \;Fixed\; cost[/tex]
[tex]\rm\,Income \;from\; operations \;for \;last \;year = 75\times2000 - 75000\\\\Income\; from \;operations \;for \;last \;year = \$75,000[/tex]
Similarly, By applying the same formula as above, Income from operations for the current period is equal to $112,500.
Hence, break-even sales for the last year and the current period are calculated where the break-even sales for the last year are equal to $250,000 and for the current period is equal to $362,500.

of 4.0 times and expects
zero growth in dividends. The company
has one million $1 ordinary shares
în issue and the market capitalization of
the
company
is $ 50 million
After tax profits for next year is expected to be $20 million.What is the cost of equity capital?
Answer:
The cost of equity is "10.00%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
After tax profits,
= $20 million
Number of shares,
= 1 million
Dividend cover ration,
= 4.0
Market capitalization,
= $50 million
Now,
The earning per share (EPS) will be:
= [tex]\frac{After \ tax \ profits}{Number \ of \ shares}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{20}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]20[/tex] ($)
The dividend cover ratio = [tex]\frac{EPS}{Dividend \ per \ share}[/tex]
On substituting the given values, we get
⇒ [tex]4.0=\frac{20}{Dividend \ per \ share}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Dividend \ per \ share=\frac{20}{4}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=5[/tex] ($)
Market per share price will be:
= [tex]\frac{Market \ capitalization}{Number \ of \ shares}[/tex]

= [tex]50[/tex] ($) per share
So,
The cost of equity capital will be:
= [tex][\frac{Expected \ dividend}{Market \ price} ]+Growth \ rate[/tex]
On putting the values in the above formula, we get
= [tex][\frac{5}{50} ]+0.00[/tex]

Use the following information to answer the next question. Total Asset = $40 million Depreciation = $1.0 million. Basic earning power (BEP) ratio is 20% Lease payments = 0.6 million Times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio is 6.55 Principal payments = 4 million What is the company's EBIT? The company's interest expense? Select one: a. $8.0 million; $1.22 million b. $7.5 million; $0.75 million c. $8.0 million; $0.62 million d. $1.35 million; $0.37 million e. $3.33 million; $0.83 million
Answer:
a. $8.0 million; $1.22 million
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Basic earnings power = EBIT ÷ total assets
So,
EBIT = Basic earnings power × total assets
= 0.20 × 40 million
= $8 million
Now
Times interest earned = EBIT ÷ interest expense
So,
Interest expense = EBIT ÷ Times interest earned
= $8 million ÷ 6.55
= $1.22 million

ou are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To do this, you will invest $890 per month in a stock account and $490 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 10.9 percent, and the bond account will pay 6.9 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 7.9 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 25-year withdrawal period
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $23,294.99
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Stock:
Monthly deposit= $890
Number of periods= 30*12= 360
Interest rate= 0.109 / 12= 0.0091
Bond:
Monthly deposit= $490
Number of periods= 30*12= 360
Interest rate= 0.069 / 12= 0.00575
First, we need to calculate the amount of money collected at the moment of retirement. We need to use the following formula on each investment:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Stock:
FV= {890*[(1.0091^360) - 1]} / 0.0091
FV= $2,452,918.1
Bond:
FV= {490*[(1.00575^360) - 1]} / 0.00575
FV= $586,123.47
Total FV= 2,452,918.1 + 586,123.47
Total FV= $3,039,041.57
Now, the monthly withdrawal for 25 years:
Number of periods= 25*12= 300
Interest rate= 0.079 / 12= 0.0066
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (3,039,041.57*0.0066) / [1 - (1.0066^-300)]
Monthly withdraw= $23,294.99
You have two choices for how you are going to spend Saturday evening. You can go to the pub with your friends, which will cost you £30 for the evening. The pleasure you anticipate from this experience is worth £50 to you. Or you can go to the theatre The ticket will cost you £50, but you value the experience at £60. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct?
a. Based on economic rent alone, you would definitely choose to go to the theatre.
b. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
c. The economic rent of going to the pub is £0.
d. The opportunity cost of an evening at the pub is £60.
Answer:
b. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
Explanation:
The correct option is - b. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
Reason -
Economic cost = Cost actually incurred to choose an option + opportunity cost
Now,
We know that
Opportunity cost is the value of next best alternative forgone.
Now,
Net benefits while the person going to Pub = 50 - 30 = £20
Net benefits while the person going to Theatre = 60 - 50 = £10
So,
The opportunity cost = £20 - £10 = £10
∴ we get
Economic cost of going to the Pub= £30 + £10 = £40
The answer to this question is option B. The economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
In order to get the economic cost, we use this formula to calculate it:
Economic cost = cost of account + opportunity cost - benefit of the pub
The cost of account = 30 this is the price for the pub
The opportunity cost = 60 is the benefit that would have been enjoyed for visiting the theatre
The benefit = 50 is the worth of the pub
This would give us 30+60-50
= £40
Therefore the economic cost of going to the pub is £40.
