The answer is given below;
Explanation:
The opportunity gain of investing in fixed selling expenses could be quantified by comparing with interest rates prevailing in the market.
if the net margin earned on producing extra quantity is greater than the return earned on placing funds in bank account,then it is financially viable to invest in fixed selling expenses and vice versa.
Foyert Corp. requires a minimum $6,900 cash balance. If necessary, loans are taken to meet this requirement at a cost of 2% interest per month (paid monthly). Any excess cash is used to repay loans at month-end. The cash balance on October 1 is $6,900 and the company has an outstanding loan of $2,900. Forecasted cash receipts (other than for loans received) and forecasted cash payments (other than for loan or interest payments) follow.October November DecemberCash receipts $ 22,900 $ 16,900 $ 20,900 Cash disbursements 25,350 15,900 15,100 Required:1. Prepare a cash budget for October, November, and December.
Answer:
answer is attached
Explanation:
The correct cash budget for October, November, and December is completed.
For October:
- Beginning cash balance: $6,900
- Cash receipts: $22,900
- Cash disbursements: $25,350
- Minimum cash balance required: $6,900
The company has a cash shortfall of $25,350 - $22,900 = $2,450. To maintain the minimum cash balance, the company will need to take a loan for $2,450. The interest on this loan for October will be $2,450 * 2% = $49.00.
Ending cash balance before loan repayment: $6,900 + $22,900 - $25,350 = $4,450
Loan repayment (if any excess cash): $0 (since there is a shortfall)
Interest payment on loan: $49.00
Ending cash balance after loan repayment and interest: $4,450 - $0 + $2,450 (loan taken) - $49.00 (interest) = $6,851
For November:
Beginning cash balance: $6,851
Cash receipts: $16,900
Cash disbursements: $15,900
Minimum cash balance required: $6,900
The company has sufficient cash to meet the minimum balance without taking an additional loan. The excess cash will be used to repay the outstanding loan.
Ending cash balance before loan repayment: $6,851 + $16,900 - $15,900 = $7,851
Loan repayment: $7,851 - $6,900 = $951 (entire outstanding loan of $2,900 + interest of $49.00 from October is repaid)
Interest payment on loan: $0 (since the loan is repaid)
Ending cash balance after loan repayment and interest: $7,851 - $2,900 - $49.00 = $4,902
For December:
Beginning cash balance: $4,902
Cash receipts: $20,900
Cash disbursements: $15,100
Minimum cash balance required: $6,900
The company has sufficient cash to meet the minimum balance without taking an additional loan. The excess cash will be used to repay the outstanding loan if any.
Ending cash balance before loan repayment: $4,902 + $20,900 - $15,100 = $9,702
Loan repayment: $0 (no loan to repay)
interest payment on loan: $0 (no loan outstanding)
Ending cash balance after loan repayment and interest: $9,702
The cash budget shows that the company will have a sufficient cash balance at the end of each month to meet the minimum cash balance requirement after taking into account loans, interest payments, and excess cash used for loan repayment.

Quick-as-Lightning, a delivery service, purchased a new delivery truck for $40,000 on January 1, 2019. The truck is expected to have a useful life of ten years or 150,000 miles and an expected residual value of $3,000. The truck was driven 15,000 miles in 2019 and 13,400 miles in 2020.
1. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2019 and for 2020 under the straight-line method.
2. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2019 and for 2020 under the double-declining balance method.
3. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2021 under the double-declining balance method.
Answer:
1. $3,700
2. $8,000 and $6,400
3. $5,120
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the years are shown below:
1) Straight-line method:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($40,000 - $3,000) ÷ (10 years)
= ($37,000) ÷ (10 years)
= $3,700
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
So for year 2019 and 2020 the same depreciation expense i.e $3,700 is charged separately for each year
(2) Double-declining balance method:
First we have to find the depreciation rate which is given below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 10
= 10%
Now the rate is double So, 20%
In year 2019, the original cost is 40,000, so the depreciation is $8,000 after applying the 20% depreciation rate
And, in year 2020, the depreciation is
= ($40,000 - $8,000) × 20%
= $6,400
3) For 2021, it would be
= ($40,000 - $8,000 - $6,400) × 20%
= $5,120
Basically we applied the above formulas
You are considering upgrading from your current inkjet printer to a laser printer. Your old printer cost $350. The new printer costs $600. Print cartridges for the old printer cost $80 each, and print cartridges for the new printer cost $120 each. Cartridges for both printers last for approximately 500 sheets of printing. Your roommate has offered to purchase your old printer for $50. Which cost is a sunk cost
Answer:
$300 i.e irrecoverable cost of old printer
Explanation:
Sunk costs refer to those costs incurred in the past which can no longer be recovered. Such costs are considered as irrelevant in decision making process since they have no current or future implications.
For example, research and development costs incurred by an enterprise in the past represent sunk costs since those costs can no longer be recovered and secondly have no current or future implications w.r.t investment decisions.
In the given case, the cost incurred in purchase of old printer is a sunk cost, incurred in the past. The irrecoverable part of the said cost i.e $350 less $50 i.e $300 represents sunk cost. Also, the expenditure on old printer's cartridges which costed $80 apiece would be regarded as a sunk cost.
This cost of $300 cannot be recovered and would be considered irrelevant w.r.t the decision of purchasing a new advanced printer.

Pretzelmania, Inc., issues 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $50,000 for $44,221 on January 1, 2021. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 6%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Required: 1. & 2. Record the bond issue and first interest payment on June 30, 2021. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field. Round your intermediate computations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer: Please see Explanation for answer.
Explanation:
January 01, 2021:
Cash Debit 44,221
Bonds Payable Credit 44,221
Since the bonds were sold at a discount, the entry to record the first interest payment (using straight line amortization of the premium) would be:
Interest expense ($44,221× 6% × 6months/12months ) = $1,326.63 =$1,327
Cash is given as ($50,000 × 5% ×6months /12months) = $1,250
June 30, 2021:
Interest Expense Debit---$1,326.63 Bonds Payable Credit $77
Cash Credit $1,250
The bond issued by Pretzelmania, Inc. is recorded by debiting Cash for $44,221, and crediting Bonds Payable for $50,000 and Discount on Bonds Payable for $5,779. The first interest payment on June 30, 2021, is recorded by debiting Interest Expense for $1,394.48 and then crediting Cash for $1,250 and Discount on Bonds Payable for $144.48.
Explanation:The subject of this question refers to accounting for bonds issued at a discount, a topic in Business studies. Pretzelmania, Inc. issued a 5%, 20-year bond with a face value of $50,000 but they sold it for $44,221, meaning it was sold at a discount because the market interest rate was higher (6%) than the bond's coupon rate (5%).
1. Record the bond issue:
When the bond was issued on January 1, 2021, Pretzelmania, Inc. received cash of $44,221. The journal entry would be:
Debit: Cash $44,221
Credit: Bonds Payable $50,000
Credit: Discount on Bonds Payable $5,779 ($50,000 - $44,221 = $5,779 discount)
2. Record the first interest payment:
The company will need to pay interest semiannually. The payment on June 30, 2021, will be calculated as 5% of face value divided by 2 ($50,000 * 5% / 2 = $1,250). Also, they have to amortize part of the discount. The interest expense for the period will be the semiannual payments plus the discount divided by the number of payments ($5,779 / 40 payments = $144.48). The journal entry will be:
Debit: Interest Expense $1,394.48 ($1,250 + $144.48)
Credit: Cash $1,250
Credit: Discount on Bonds Payable $144.48.

Fixed manufacturing costs are $44 per unit, and variable manufacturing costs are $100 per unit. Production was 67,200 units, while sales were 50,400 units. Determine (a) whether variable costing operating income is less than or greater than absorption costing operating income, and (b) the difference in variable costing and absorption costing operating income.
Answer:
a. Less
b. $739,200
Explanation:
a. As we know that
Under the variable costing, all the variable cost i.e direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead are considered
And, under the absorption costing, all the fixed cost and the variable cost are considered i.e direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead, fixed variable manufacturing overhead, fixed and variable selling and admin expenses are considered
So based on this, the variable costing operating income is less than the absorption costing due to the fixed cost
b. And, the difference amount is
= [67,200 Units – 50,400 Units] × $44 per unit
= 16,800 Units × $44 per unit
= $739,200
Final answer:
Variable costing operating income is typically less than absorption costing operating income when inventory increases, as fixed costs are expensed when incurred in variable costing. The difference in operating income for this scenario would be $739,200, calculated by the fixed cost per unit times unsold units.
Explanation:
Fixed manufacturing costs per unit are $44, and variable manufacturing costs per unit are $100. With a production of 67,200 units and sales of 50,400 units, we need to determine the relationship between variable costing and absorption costing operating income. Under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing costs are allocated to each unit produced, so these costs are expensed as the units are sold. Since not all units produced were sold, some fixed manufacturing costs are included in ending inventory on the balance sheet rather than being expensed on the income statement, which increases operating income compared to variable costing. Under variable costing, only variable manufacturing costs are assigned to the product, and all fixed manufacturing costs are expensed in the period incurred. Therefore, the variable costing operating income is generally less than the absorption costing operating income when inventory levels increase (production is greater than sales), as is the case here. To calculate the difference in operating income between the two costing methods, we multiply the fixed manufacturing cost per unit by the number of units produced but not sold. The difference is $44 times 16,800 units (67,200 units produced - 50,400 units sold), which equals $739,200.

Answer:
The correct answer is A. The Mars Climate Orbiter crashed on the surface of Mars because one program output thrust in terms of foot-pounds, and another program expected thrust to be expressed in terms of newtons.
Explanation:
The Mars Climate Orbiter was NASA’s unsuccessful mission to study the Martian climate, part of the Mars Surveyor 98 program. The MCO was created as a satellite-translator for the Mars Polar Lander lander, and after the latter ceased to function, it was supposed to study the Martian climate.
The Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed when a navigation error caused the probe to be improperly elevated as it entered orbit. The vehicle was destroyed by the friction and stresses in Mars' atmosphere. An investigation showed that some data for the rocket system were calculated in English units (pound-force-second) while the navigation team expected SI units (Newton-second).
The reason the Mars Climate Orbiter crashed was that a. one program output thrust in terms of foot-pounds, and another program expected thrust to be expressed in terms of newtons.
The Mars Climate Orbiter:
Was expected to study the climate of Mars to gain more insight on the planet Crashed when there was a problem with the thrustersThe reason the problem develop was because there was a mismatch in the mass expectation when one program measured mass in foot-pounds and the other in newtons.

Residual income is the:A. difference between the net sales that the analyst expects the firm to generate and the required earnings of the firm. B. difference between the net income that the analyst expects the firm to generate and the required earnings of the firm. C. difference between the common stock that the analyst expects the firm to issue and the required earnings of the firm. D. difference between the expenses that the analyst expects the firm to generate and the required earnings of the firm.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": difference between the expenses that the analyst expects the firm to generate and the required earnings of the firm.
Explanation:
Residual income represents the amount that is left after a company has paid all its capital costs. It is the result of acquiring assets to generate steady revenue over time. Real state, bonds, or stocks are examples of corporate and individual residual income.
Therefore, we could say that residual income is calculated by subtracting the expenses of a firm from its expected earnings out of different sources.
A company's common stock shares are expected to bring a 13 % return to their investors in case of "recession" state of the economy, 6 % return in case of "normal" state of the economy, and result in a 4 % loss in case of "boom" state of the economy. The probability of "boom" is 5 % and the probability of "recession" is 45 %. Calculate the expected rate of return on this company's common stock.
Answer:
The expected rate of return is 8.65%
Explanation:
The expected return on a stock can be calculated by multiplying the return in each scenario by the probability of that scenario. This will provide the expected value of the return based on all these scenarios. Thus, the rate of return is,
Rate of return = rA * pA + rB * pB + rC * pC
Where,
r represents the return in each scenariop represents the probability of each scenarioThe probability of normal state is = 1 - 0.45 - 0.05 = 0.5
Rate of return = 0.13 * 0.45 + 0.06 * 0.5 + (-0.04) * 0.05
Rate of return = 0.0865 or 8.65%

Southeastern estimates its annual holding cost for this item to be $25.00 per unit. The cost to place and process an order from the supplier is $75.00. The company operates 300 days per year, and the lead time to receive an order from the supplier is 2 working days. a) What is the economic order quantity? nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) What are the annual holding costs? $ nothing (round your response to the nearest whole number). c) What are the annual ordering costs? $ nothing (round your response to the nearest whole number). d) What is the reorder point? nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number).
Answer:
EOQ= 300 units
Annual ordering cost= $3750
Annual holding cost =$3750
Re-order point =100 units
Explanation:
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.
It is computed using he formulae below
EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch
EOQ = √ (2× 75× 15,000)/25
EOQ = 300 units
Annual holding cost
= EOQ/2 × holding cost per unit
= 300/2 × $25
=$3750
Annual ordering cost
= Annul demand/EOQ × ordering cost per order
=( 15,000/300)× $75
= $3750
Re-order Point
Maximum consumption × maximum lead time
=( 15,000/300)× 2 = 100 units
Swifty Industries had sales in 2016 of $7,520,000 and gross profit of $1,261,000. Management is considering two alternative budget plans to increase its gross profit in 2017.

Goodluck.
IKEA and The Home Depot employ business strategies that offer high-quality products and customer service at low prices, a principle similar to Walmart's 'everyday low prices.' IKEa uses flat organizational structures to encourage employee engagement, while Amazon's efficient production and cost models allow for competitive pricing.
Stores like IKEA and The Home Depot are known for their successful business strategies which encompass providing high-quality products and adequate customer services while maintaining reasonably low prices. The philosophy behind this approach is akin to the strategy used by Walmart, known as 'everyday low prices.' By targeting a market with elastic demand, these companies find that a slight decrease in prices leads to a significant increase in sales volume, often resulting in overall higher profitability.
IKEA, specifically, employs flat organizational structures within its stores to enhance employee involvement and instill a sense of ownership among its staff. This management strategy contributes to the company's ability to maintain cost-effective operations while fostering a workplace culture that is conducive to delivering value to its customers.
Moreover, companies like Amazon have executed similar principles through efficient production models and cost structures, enabling them to offer lower prices than competitors even when including shipping costs. These business practices highlight the importance of operational excellence in attracting and retaining customers who prioritize cost, convenience, and quality when making purchasing decisions.
This year William provided $4,200 of services to a large client on credit. Unfortunately, this client has recently encountered financial difficulties and has been unable to pay William for the services. Moreover, William does not expect to collect for his services. William has "written off" the account and would like to claim a deduction for tax purposes.a. What amount of deduction for bad debt expense can William claim this year if he uses the accrual method?b. What amount of deduction for bad debt expense can William claim this year if he uses the cash method?
Answer:
a. $,4,200
b. $0
Explanation:
a. What amount of deduction for bad debt expense can William claim this year if he uses the accrual method?
Account receivable that is partially or totally uncollectible can be claimed under accrual method since income and losses are recognized when earned or uncured.
Since there is no expectation that William will collect for his services which he has written its account receivable off, the full amount of $4,200 which he has included in the income is allowed to deducted by him under accrual method.
b. What amount of deduction for bad debt expense can William claim this year if he uses the cash method?
No amount of bad debt can be claimed under cash method since William has not recognized the income for his services in the income.
Therefore, $0 will be claimed.
Bledsoe Company received $28,000 cash from the issue of stock on January 1, 2013. During 2013 Bledsoe earned $9,800 of revenue on account. The company collected $8,600 cash from accounts receivable and paid $6,700 cash for operating expenses. Based on this information alone, during 2013.
o Total assets increased by $39,700.
o Total assets increased by $1,900.
o Total assets increased by $31,100.
o Total assets did not change.
Answer:
During 2013:
Total assets increased by $31,100.
Explanation:
Bledsoe Company received $28,000 cash from the issue of stock on January 1, 2013. Total assets increased by $28,000
Bledsoe earned $9,800 of revenue on account. Account receivable increased by $9,800. Total assets increased by $9,800
The company collected $8,600 cash from accounts receivable. Cash account increased by $8,600 and Account receivable decreased by $8,600. Total assets did not change.
The company paid $6,700 cash for operating expenses. Cash account decreased by $6,700. Total assets decreased by $6,700
During 2013:
Total assets increased = $28,000 + $9,800 - $6,700 = $31,100
Based on the provided information, during 2013, the total assets increased by $1,900. So, the correct option is B.
To determine the change in total assets, we can analyze the impact of various financial transactions. Bledsoe Company received $28,000 cash from the issuance of stock, which is considered an inflow of assets, increasing the total assets by $28,000.
Next, the company earned $9,800 of revenue on account, indicating an increase in accounts receivable (an asset) by $9,800. When the company collected $8,600 cash from accounts receivable, this increased the cash account by $8,600 but reduced accounts receivable by the same amount. Therefore, there was no net change in total assets from this transaction.
Finally, the company paid $6,700 cash for operating expenses, which decreased the cash account by $6,700. However, since this is an expense and not an asset, it does not directly impact the total assets.
Adding up the changes, $28,000 (issuance of stock) - $6,700 (operating expenses) = $21,300, and $21,300 + $9,800 (revenue) - $8,600 (collection of accounts receivable) = $1,900. Therefore, the total assets increased by $1,900 during 2013.

Answer:
See the explanation below:
Explanation:
a. How is the land recorded for § 704(b) book capital account purposes? For § 704
Debit cash with $170,250
Debit land with $340,500
Credit Nova's Capital account with $510,750
b. What is Padgett's tax basis in the land?
Padgett's tax basis in the land is $85,125 that is carried over.
c. If Padgett sells the land several years later for $510,750, how much tax gain will Nova and Oscar report?
Built in gain = $340,500 - $85,125 = $255,375
Gain from sale = $510,750 - $340,500 = $170,250
Share of gain from sale = $170,250 * 50% = $85,125
Gain to report by Nova = Built in gain + Share of gain from sale = $255,375 + $85,125 = $340,500
Gain to report by Oscar = Share of gain from sale = $170,250 * 50% = $85,125

Calculate the values for each of the questions. Assume that in each country there are no taxes, international trade, or inflation and that interest rates are fixed. The Italian government decides to stimulate the economy by sending checks worth $70 billion to Italian consumers. If the government spending multiplier is 1.5 , calculate the MPC to determine the final change in Italy's real GDP due to the transfer. Please give your answer as a whole number in billions of dollars. $ billion The Greek government decides to introduce new austerity measures, which reduce government direct spending by $16 billion. Greece has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.6 . What will be the final change in real GDP as a result of this decreased spending
Answer:
The answer is:
For italy: $35 billion
For Greece: -$40 billion
Explanation:
Injection into the economy = $70 billion.
Government spending multiplier is 1.5.
MPC = $70billion x 1.5
=$105 billion.
Change in Italy's real GDP due to the transfer = $105 billion - $70 billion
= $35 billion.
Greek Government.
Multiplier effect = 1 ÷ (1-MPC)
1 ÷ (1-0.6)
1÷ 0.4
-2.5.
It is negative because it is a reduction in government spending.
Therefore, the final change in real GDP as a result of this decreased spending is
-2.5 x $16 billion
= -$40 billion
Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $8.9 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $11.7 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $22.9 million to build, and the site requires $1,040,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. Required: What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).)
Answer:
The proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project is $35,640,000.
Explanation:
Cash flow = Opportunity costs + cost + upgrdation
= $11.7 million + $22.9 million + $1,040,000
= $35,640,000
Therefore, The proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project is $35,640,000.
financial calculator Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $23,900 a year for 5 years as a result. This expansion requires $66,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $5,600 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 12 percent?
Final answer:
The net present value of Bruno's Lunch Counter's expansion project is calculated by finding the present value of expected operating cash flows, and then subtracting the required fixed asset investment and the net working capital. The discount rate used for the present value calculation is 12 percent, and the cash flows are expected to occur annually over a period of 5 years.
Explanation:
The question asks for the net present value (NPV) of an expansion project for Bruno's Lunch Counter, which requires calculating the present value of future operating cash flows and adjusting for the initial investment costs and the working capital required throughout the project. We will follow these steps:
Calculate the present value of the annual operating cash flows.Subtract the initial fixed asset investment and the net working capital requirement.Sum these values to find the NPV at the required rate of return of 12 percent.The NPV formula we will apply is NPV = Σ (Ct / (1 + r)^t) - I - W, where Ct represents the cash flows in each period t, r is the discount rate (12%), I is the initial fixed asset investment, and W is the net working capital requirement.
Assuming that the operating cash flows occur at the end of each year for 5 years, and that the initial investment and working capital are required at the start, we use the present value formula for an annuity to compute the present value of the operating cash flows and then subtract the costs of investment and working capital to reach our final NPV.
Pisa Pizza, a seller of frozen pizza, is considering introducing a healthier version of its pizza that will be low in cholesterol and contain no trans fats. The firm expects that sales of the new pizza will be $ 21 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, Pisa Pizza estimates that 40 % will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier pizza instead of buying the original version. a. Assume customers will spend the same amount on either version. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza? b. Suppose that 42 % of the customers who will switch from Pisa Pizza's original pizza to its healthier pizza will switch to another brand if Pisa Pizza does not introduce a healthier pizza. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza in this case?
a. The incremental sales associated with introducing the new pizza under the assumption of equal spending are $8.4 million.
b. In the scenario where 42% of switchers would choose another brand, the incremental sales are $12.04 million.
Explanation:a. Incremental sales with equal spending:
Original pizza sales: Unknown, but let's call it X.
New pizza sales from new customers: 60% of $21 million = $12.6 million.
New pizza sales from switchers: 40% of X.
Total new pizza sales: $12.6 million + 0.4X.
Incremental sales: Difference between total new pizza sales and original pizza sales: ($12.6 million + 0.4X) - X = $8.4 million.
b. Incremental sales with brand switching:
Switchers from original pizza: 40% of X.
Switchers to healthier pizza: 58% of switchers = 0.58 * 40% of X = 0.232X.
Switchers to another brand: 42% of switchers = 0.42 * 40% of X = 0.172X.
New pizza sales from switchers: 0.232X.
Sales lost to another brand: 0.172X.
Total new pizza sales: $12.6 million + 0.232X.
Net incremental sales: Difference between total new pizza sales and sales lost to another brand: ($12.6 million + 0.232X) - 0.172X = $12.04 million.
Therefore, introducing the new pizza leads to higher incremental sales even when accounting for customers switching to another brand, highlighting the potential market opportunity for healthier options.
The incremental sales when introducing the new pizza are $12.6 million without considering potential loss to competitors and $16.128 million considering the potential customer switch to other brands.
To determine the incremental sales from the introduction of Pisa Pizza's new healthier pizza, we need to account for the sales cannibalization from their original pizza and potential losses to competitors.
Part A:
Assume customers will spend the same amount on either version. The firm expects $21 million in sales per year for the new pizza. Since 40% of these will come from customers switching from the original pizza, the actual incremental sales will be:
Total new sales: $21 millionCannibalization rate: 40%Sales cannibalized: $21 million × 0.40 = $8.4 millionIncremental sales: $21 million - $8.4 million = $12.6 millionPart B:
Now, if 42% of the customers who would switch to the healthier pizza instead switch to another brand if Pisa Pizza does not introduce a healthier pizza, the incremental sales calculation changes:
Total new sales: $21 millionSales lost to another brand if not introduced: $21 million × 0.42 × 0.40 = $3.528 millionRemaining cannibalized sales: $8.4 million - $3.528 million = $4.872 millionIncremental sales: $21 million - $4.872 million = $16.128 millionIn this scenario, Pisa Pizza's net incremental sales would increase due to retaining customers who would otherwise switch to competitors.

has outstanding 600,000 shares of $2 par common stock and 120,000 shares of no-par 6% preferred stock with a stated value of $5. Dividends have been paid in every year except the past two years and the current year. Assuming that $270,000 is distributed, and the preferred stock is cumulative and participating, how much will the common stockholders receive
Answer:
Common stockholders will receive $132,000
Explanation:
Common stock = 600,000 shares * $2 par = $1,200,000
Preferred stock = 120,000 shares * $5 stated = $600,000
Common stcok dividends = 600,000 shares * $2 par * 6% = $72,000
Preferred stock dividends = 120,000 shares * $5 stated * 6% = $36,000
As the cumulative and participating, the preferred stock holders are to be paid the dividends which were not paid in the earlier years and the preferred stock holders will participate in the excess profits.
Amount to be paid to preferred stock holders = $36,000 * 3 = $108,000
Amount to be paid to common stock holders = $72,000
Excess amount after payment of dividends = $270,000 - $108,000 - $72,000 = $90,000
$90,000 has to be prorationed between preferred stock and common stock holders.
Common stock holders will receive $90,000 * $1,200,000 / $1,800,000 = $60,000
Common stockholders will receive $72,000 + $60,000 = $132,000
Answer:
$162,000
Explanation:
Dividend distributed to preferred share is based on the predetermined rate associated with these share. When the dividend is declared preferred share dividend is paid first. The remainder is distributed between the common stockholders.
Value of Preferred share = 120,000 shares x $5 par value = $600,000
Preferred Dividend = $600,000 x 6% = $36,000
Accrued dividend for 2 years = 2 x $36,000 = $72,000
Dividend Declared = $270,000
Total preferred Dividend = $72,000 + $36,000 = $108,000
Dividend Available for Common stockholders = $270,000 - $108,000 = $162,000
