Answer:
$10 per unit
Explanation:
The average total cost (AC) is the estimated per-unit cost in a given output. The formula for calculating the average cost
=(Total fixed costs + total variable costs) / number of units produced = average total cost.
Adding Total fixed cost to total variable cost equal to Total cost (TC)
For this business, the average total costs
=$45,000 + $32,000 /7,700
=$77,000/7700
=$10
AC= $10 per unit
According to a supply and demand model for apples, if the average household income decreases at the same time 10 apple orchards go out of business, one would expect the equilibrium Group of answer choices price of apples to be indeterminate and the equilibrium quantity of apples in the market to increase. quantity of apples in the market to be indeterminate and the equilibrium price of apples to increase. price of apples to increase and the equilibrium quantity of apples in the market to decrease. quantity of apples in the market to decrease and the equilibrium price of apples to stay the same. quantity of apples in the market to decrease and the equilibrium price of apples to be indeterminate.
Answer:
quantity of apples in the market to decrease and the equilibrium price of apples to be indeterminate.
Explanation:
The decrease in income would reduce the demand for apples because there would be less disposable income available to buy apples. The decrease in demand would lead to a fall in price and quantity
If 10 orchards go out of business. The supply of apples would reduce. This would reduce quantity and increase price.
Taking these two occurrence together, equilibrium quantity would fall and there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium price

Why should investors know the difference between nominal and real interest rates?
O to know what they are likely to lose
O to understand changes in monetary policy
to guarantee an investment's profitability
O to recognize the effects of inflation
Answer:
to recognize the effects of inflation
Explanation:
The nominal rate of interest is the interest earned before adjusting for inflation. The nominal interest rate is simple to recognize and calculate. It is the rate quoted on loans, deposits, bonds, and mutual funds. The nominal rate communicates to the investor the percentage of returns to expect from their investment. The higher the percentage, the better the returns. However, nominal interest does not take account of inflation.
Inflation erode the purchasing power of money. A high inflation rate will mean that any investment gains may not benefit the investor as the currency will have weakened. The real interest rate considers inflation rates. It tells the investor the actual gain from an investment after adjusting for inflation.
Answer:
To recognize the effects inflation.

Dewey Corp. is expected to have an EBIT of $2.45 million next year. Depreciation, the increase in net working capital, and capital spending are expected to be $180,000, $85,000, and $185,000, respectively. All are expected to grow at 18 percent per year for four years. The company currently has $13 million in debt and 800,000 shares outstanding. The company’s WACC is 9.1 percent and the tax rate is 21 percent. You decide to calculate the terminal value of the company with the price-sales ratio. You believe that Year 5 sales will be $27.4 million and the appropriate price-sales ratio is 1.9. What is your estimate of the current share price?
Answer:
$41.13
Explanation:
The current share price can be calculated by first deducting the debt from the firm value then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. To calculate the firm value first we need to calculate the free cash flows and after calculating free cashflows we will multiply them with the Compan's WACC to reach the present value of each free cash flow
DATA
EBIT = 2.45m
WACC = 9.1%
Tax rate = 21%
Debt = 13m
Outstanding shares = 800,000

A restaurant prepares 200.00 pizza slices and sells them at a rate of $12.00/slice. Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for pizza at $5.00 per slice, $103.00 for monthly rental and monthly insurance of $30.00. Lost sale are taken as $6.00 per unhappy customer. Leftover pizza can be sold for $2.00. The restaurant is open only for 25 days in a month. Today there was a party at nearby office so the demand for pizza went up to 223.00 slices. How much profit could the restaurant earn today?
Answer:
$1428
Explanation:
Profit = Total Revenue - total cost
total revenue = price x quantity sold
total cost = variable cost + fixed cost
total revenue = 223 x $12 = $2676
Variable cost = $5 x 223 = $1115
total fixed cost = $103.00 + $30.00 = $133.00.
Total cost = $1115 + $133 = $1248
profit = $2676 - $1248 = $1428

Here are data on two stocks, both of which have discount rates of 18%: Stock A Stock B Return on equity 18 % 15 % Earnings per share $ 4.60 $ 2.90 Dividends per share $ 2.30 $ 2.30 a. What are the dividend payout ratios for each firm? (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What are the expected dividend growth rates for each stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the proper stock price for each firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. What are the dividend payout ratios for each firm?
payout ratio stock A = $2.30 / $4.60 = 0.5 = 50%payout ratio stock B = $2.30 / $2.90 = 0.7931 = 79.31%b. What are the expected dividend growth rates for each stock?
growth rate stock A = 0.18 x (1 - 50%) = 0.09 = 9%growth rate stock B = 0.15 x (1 - 79.31%) = 0.031035 = 3.10%c. What is the proper stock price for each firm?
stock A's proper price = $2.507 / (0.18 - 0.09) = $27.86stock B's proper price = $2.3713 / (0.18 - 0.031) = $15.91Explanation:
dividend payout ratio = dividend / EPS
growth rate = ROE x (1 - dividend payout ratio)
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
A company makes bicycles. It produces 850 bicycles a month. It buys the tires for bicycles from a supplier at a cost of Rs.60 per tire. The company’s inventory carrying cost is estimated to be 15% of cost and the ordering is Rs.90 per order. Compute EOQ.
A: 639 tires
B: 522 tires
C: 580 tires
D: 621 tires
From the information given in the question above , Calculate number of orders to be made per year.
A: 35 orders
B: 39 orders
C: 37 orders
D: 32 orders
Answer:
B: 522 tires
B: 39 orders
Explanation:
a. Calculation for EOQ
First step is to Calculate the Annual Demand which is D
D = Annual demand = (2 tires per bicycle) x (850 bicycles per month) x (12 months in a year)
D=20,400 tires
Second step the ordering cost is given in the question which is :
S = Ordering cost = 90 per order
Third step is to Calculate the carrying cost which is H
H = carrying cost = (15%) x ($60 per unit)
H= $ 13.50 per unit per year
Last step is to Calculate the EOQ
EOQ = √{ (2 x 20,400 x $90) / $13.50
EOQ= 522 tires
Therefore the EOQ is 522 tires which means that the company should order 522 tires each time they places an order.
b. Calculation for the number of orders per year
Using this formula
Number of orders per year = D / Q
Let plug in the formula
Number of orders per year = 20,400 / 522
Number of orders per year = 39 orders per year
Therefore the Number of orders per year will be
39 orders per year.

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 22% and a standard deviation of 34%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 31 % Stock B 36 % Stock C 33 % Suppose that your client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 18%. a. What is the proportion y? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) b. What are your client’s investment proportions in your three stocks and the T-bill fund? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client’s portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
A.
E(r) = y x R(rp) + (1-y)*rf
0.18 = y * 0.22+(1-y)*0.06
0.18 = 0.22y +0.06 -0.06y
Collect like terms
0.18-0.06 = 0.22y - 0.06y
0.12 = 0.16y
y = 0.12/0.16
= 0.75
= 75%
B.
Stock a = 31% x 0.75
= 0.2325
= 23.25%
Stock b = 36% * 0.75
= 0.27%
Stock c = 33% * 0.75
= 0.2475
= 24.75%
A total of all these stocks gives 100 percent
C.
We have standard deviation = 34%
Y * standard deviation
= 0.75 * 0.34
= 0.255
= 25.5%

A random telephone survey of 1021 adults (aged 18 and older) was conducted by Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of CompleteTax, an online tax preparation and e-filing service. The survey results showed that 684 of those surveyed planned to file their taxes electronically.
a. Develop a descriptive statistic that can be used to estimate the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically.
b. The survey reported that the most frequently used method for preparing the tax return was to hire an accountant or professional tax preparer. If 60% of the people surveyed had their tax return prepared this way, how many people used an accountant or profes-sional tax preparer
Answer:
a) 67% of filers surveyed plans to file their taxes electronically.
b) 613 people will use the professionals to prepare their taxes.
Explanation:
Given that;
survey shows 684 of 1021 people would most likely file electronically.
a)
to estimate the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically, we say;
(684 / 1021) * 100% = 0.6699 = 0.67
therefore 67% of filers surveyed plans to file their taxes electronically.
b)
Given that 60% ( 0.6 ) said they would us professionals, now to find how many people did it this way, we say;
( 60 / 100) * 1021 = 612.6 = 613 (we are talking about number of person)
so 613 people will use the professionals to prepare their taxes.
Computing Depreciation, Net Book Value, and Gain or Loss on Asset Sale
Lynch Company owns and operates a delivery van that originally cost $46,400. Lynch has recorded straight-line depreciation on the van for four years, calculated assuming a $5,000 expected salvage value at the end of its estimated six-year useful life. Depreciation was last recorded at the end of the fourth year, at which time Lynch disposes of this van.
A. Compute the net book value of the van on the disposal date.
B. Compute the gain or loss on sale of the van if the disposal proceeds are:
1. A cash amount equal to the van's net book value.
2. $22, 500 cash.
3. $18, 500 cash.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
A. The net book value is
Before that the depreciation expense is
Depreciation per year is
= (Purchase Cost - Residual value) ÷ (Useful life)
= ($46,400 - $5,000) ÷ (6)
= $6,900
Now
A. The Netbook value as on disposal date is
= $46,400 - ($6,900 × 4 years)
= $18,800
B. The gain or loss on the sale of the van is
1. The equivalent amount i.e. gain is $18,800
2. The gain is
= $22,500 - $18,800
= $3,700
3. The loss is
= $18,500 - $18,800
= -$300

E3-18 Comparing cash and accrual basis accounting and applying the revenue recognition principle Momentous Occasions is a photography business that shoots videos at college parties. The freshman class pays $1,000 in advance on March 3 to guarantee services for its party to be held on April 2. The sophomore class promises a minimum of $2,800 for filming its formal dance and actually pays cash of $4,100 on February 28 at the dance. Answer the following questions about the correct way to account for revenue under the accrual basis:
a. Considering the $1,000 paid by the freshman class, on what date was revenue recognized? Diod the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?
b. Considering the $4,100 paid by the sophomore class, on what date was revenue recognized'? Did the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?
Answer:
Momentous Occasions
a. Revenue of $1,000 is recognized on April 2, though the cash receipt is recorded on March 3 as deferred revenue. This means that the recognition occurred on a separate date from when the cash was received.
b. Revenue of $4,100 will be recognized on the date the party is held and not on the February 28 date when the cash was received. This means that the recognition occurred on a separate date from when the cash was received.
Explanation:
Momentous Occasions is required to recognize revenue on the date the service is performed and not when the cash is received in accordance with the accrual concept, unless it chooses to use the cash basis as a small business.

Group of options omitted and they are
a) brownfield investment only
b) brownfield and horizontal investment
c) greenfield and horizontal investment
d) greenfield and vertical investmen
Answer:c) greenfield and horizontal investment
Explanation:
A green-field investment is foreign direct investment whereby a parent company establishes a new subsidiary in a different or foreign country, starting its operations from the scratch, ie building the establishment from ground up and not buying an already existing plant or structure..
By horizontal direct investment , it means that the investor establishes the same type of operation in a different country as it operates in its home country, for example, Ford Motor Company based in the United States building a new auto plant in South Africa.
The Wod Chemical Company produces a chemical compound that is used as a lawn fertilizer. The compound can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per day. Annual demand for the compound is 0.6 million pounds per year. The fixed cost of setting up for a production run of the chemical is $1,500, and the variable cost of production is $3.50 per pound. The company uses an interest rate of 22 percent to account for the cost of capital, and the costs of storage and handling of the chemical amount to 12 percent of the value. Assume that there are 250 working days in a year.
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?
Answer:
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
first we have to determine the holding cost per unit = h = (22% + 012%) x ($3.5) = $1.19 per unit, per year
then we have to calculate the modified holding cost per year = h' = h x [1 / (D/P)] = $1.19 x [1 / (600,000/2,500,000)] = $0.9044 per unit, per year
now we have to substitute h for h' in the EOQ formula:
Q' = √ [(2 x S x D) / h'] = √ [(2 x $1,500 x 600,000) / $0.9044] = 44,612.44 ≈ 44,612 units
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
Time between production runs = Q' / D = 44,612 / 600,000 = 0.07435333
Uptime = Q' / P = 44,612 / 2,500,000 = 0.0178448
Downtime = total time - uptime = 0.07435333 - 0.0178448 = 0.05650853
uptime = 0.0178448 / 0.07435333 = 24% of total time
downtime = 0.05650853 / 0.07435333 = 76% of total time
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?
average annual holding cost and setup costs = (AD/Q') + (h'Q'/2) = [($1,500 x 600,000) / 44,612] + [($0.9044 x 44,612) / 2] = $40,144
profit per unit = $3.90 - $3.50 = $0.40 per pound
total annual profit = ($0.40 x 600,000) - $40,144 = $199,856

A municipality is considering an investment in a small renewable energy power plant with the following parameters. The cost is $360,000, and the output averages 50 kW year-round. The price paid for electricity at the plant gate is $0.039/kWh. The investment is to be evaluated over a 25-year time horizon, and the expected salvage value at the end of the project is $20,000. The MARR is 6%.Calculate the NPV of this investment. Is it financially attractive? Calculate the operating credit per kWh which the government would need to give to the investment in order to make it break even financially. Express your answer to the nearest 1/1000th of dollars
Answer:
this project is not financially attractive because the NPV is negative (-$136,974.74)operating credit per kWh = $0.0245Explanation:
initial investment = $360,000
yearly cash flows 1 - 24 = 50 x $0.039 x 24 hours x 365 days = $17,082
yearly cash flow year 25 = $17,082 + $20,000 = $37,082
using a financial calculator, the present value of the yearly cash flows = $223,025.26
this project's NPV = -$360,000 + $223,025.26 = -$136,974.74
in order for this project to be profitable, NCFs should be:
$360,000 - ($20,000 / 1.06²⁵) = $355,340.03
annual earnings = $355,340.03 / 12.783 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 25 periods) = $27,797.86
total kWh = 50 x 24 x 365 = 438,000
$27,797.86 / 438,000 = $0.063465 per kWh
operating credit = $0.063465 - $0.039 = $0.0245

Several factors affect a firm’s need for external funds. Evaluate the effect of each following factor and place a check next to each factor that is likely to increase a firm’s need for external capital—that is, its AFN (additional funds needed). Check all that apply. The firm increases its dividend payout ratio. The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast. The firm previously thought its fixed assets were being operated at full capacity, but now it learns that it actually has excess capacity. Dividends to common shareholders are paid out of after-tax earnings. Do these payouts affect a firm’s AFN? No, dividends do not affect a firm’s AFN, because they are paid out of after-tax earnings. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Answer:
1.
The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.
The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.
2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.
Kyle is a seventeen-years-old minor who has just graduated from high school. He is attending a university two hundred miles from home and has contracted to rent an apartment near the university for one year at $500 per month. He is working at a convenience store to earn enough income to be self-supporting. After living in the apartment and paying monthly rent for four months, he becomes involved in a dispute with is landlord. Kyle, still a minor, moves out and returns the key to the landlord. The landlord wants to hold Kyle liable for the balance of the payments due under the lease. Discuss fully Kyle’s liability in this situation.
Answer:
kyle does not owe the landlord any liability since the contract is void.
Explanation:
To answer this question i would first explain what disaffirmance means. the term means that to express oneself in a way which shows that they are no longer liable to certain bindings to a contract. A minor is someone who is considered to be younger than 18 years of age. Minors do not have certain rights and obligations and these includes certain civil and political obligations. As a minor kylie has no legal rights to enter a contract with the landlord. The law is protective of people of his age from certain ntypes of responsibilities due to their young age which makes them incapable of handling such. Apart from sports a minor cannot enter into a contract. also we have in this scenario that kyle returned the keys to the landlord and by this action he has shown that he is not bound by any contract with the landlord. since he paid his rent for the period of 4 months, the contract was disaffirmed when he took the keys back to the landlord.
Decision Point: How Can You Help the Sales Team Better Understand the Commission Plan? You remember from your discussion with Sean that, "Many members of the sales team don’t seem to understand the commission system, and many see it as unfair." You study the existing commission plan and don’t see anything as inherently unfair, but you have your suspicions as to who might think it unfair. You speak to a number of sales personnel and discover that it is the newer salespeople who see the commission plan as unfair. Commission rates for sales personnel who have been employed by Swazzi for less than two years are lower than for employees who have been at Swazzi for longer than two years. Newer employees believe they put as much effort into each sale as longer-tenured employees and should be rewarded the same. Using expectancy theory, what would you do to address this problem? Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.
Question Completion with Options:
*Re-evaluate the existing commission plan to determine whether you can eliminate the perception of unfairness. Re-evaluate the base salaries by comparing them to other upscale clothing stores.
*Put all salespeople on the same commission plan regardless of tenure. This will clearly establish a strong relationship between performance and reward for all sales personnel. Increase the base salaries of longer-tenured salespeople who have worked for Swazzi more than two years to reinforce the relationship between their experience/loyalty and their rewards.
*Travel to the stores and explain the system in detail to the sales teams. Tell them you will try to clear up any perceived unfairness once you see whether they are serious about selling
Answer:
*Put all salespeople on the same commission plan regardless of tenure. This will clearly establish a strong relationship between performance and reward for all sales personnel. Increase the base salaries of longer-tenured salespeople who have worked for Swazzi more than two years to reinforce the relationship between their experience/loyalty and their rewards.
Explanation:
Longer-term sales personnel should be rewarded differently from newer personnel. But, this differential reward should not be based on the sales commission. The base salary will be more ideal for this tenure reward. This will be in line with the Expectancy Theory which states that employees base their individual levels of effort on what is necessary to perform well and earn rewards within the workplace. The theory also requires that the reward structure is clear with well-defined goals and routine evaluations. The Expectancy Theory helps workers to put in their best because they are looking forward to some well-defined and clear rewards.
