A customer requires during the next 4 months, respectively, 50, 65, 100, and 70 units of a commodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is, the customer’s requirements must be met on time). Production costs are $5, $8, $4, and $7 per unit during these months. The storage cost from one month to the next is $2 per unit (assessed on ending inventory). It is estimated that each unit on hand at the end of month 4 could be sold for $6 (so that is a negative cost). Determine how much to produce each month to minimize the net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next 4 months.
Answers
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
Assumptions:
No inventory at beginning of month
Unlimited capacity
Other costs in production were ignored
Formulate the required Linear Problem:
[tex]X_{t}[/tex] is the number of commodities produced each month during month [tex]t[/tex]
[tex]i_{t}[/tex] is it is the number of commodities on hand at the end of month [tex]t[/tex]
Where, [tex]t[/tex] = 1,2,3,4 for each month in the problem
Thus, the total cost can be obtained in the attached images below
To minimize costs over four months, you should produce exactly as demanded in the first two months, and produce surplus in the third month, taking advantage of the lower unit cost. The surplus units will cater for the fourth month minimizing the production cost, even after taking into account the storage cost.
Explanation:Calculating Optimal Production LevelIn order to minimize the net cost incurred in meeting the next four months' demand, the ideal production level must balance production costs with storage costs, maximizing efficiency. The first month, it's best to produce 50 units (as required). In the second month, it's cost-effective to produce another 65 units to meet that month's demand. For the third month, producing 100 units would cater to the demand, but due to lower per unit production costs, it's advisable to produce additional units for next month, so the production would be 170 units. In this case, you'll have 70 units in storage which will be charged $2 per unit, but it is cheaper than producing them in the fourth month. At the end of month 4, the remaining units could be sold for $6 each, further depleting the net cost.

Hello.
I wasn't quite clear on your question so I added an attachment with the full question.
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for ____Jacques____ to choose ___Right____.
The Dominant strategy for a player is that strategy that will result in the highest payoff independent of the actions of the other player.
If Jacques plays Right, they will have more or equal payouts but never less than Left regardless of what Kyoko does. Therefore choosing Right is Jacques's Dominant strategy.
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Jacques chooses___Right_______and Kyoko chooses ____Right_____.
Jacques will go with their dominant strategy of picking Right. This will make Kyoto pick the alternative of Right that results in the higher payoff. They make a payoff of 8 if they pick Right as well so that is what they will do.

Explain precisely why ‘Opportunity Cost’ is always a RELATIVE concept and is never to be construed in ABSOLUTE terms. In addition, why is the PPF function never strictly convex -what is the economic implication of strict convexity? You are free to provide appropriate examples of your choice.
Answers
Answer:
Opportunity costs are defined as the additional costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. It is a relative concept because you cannot be 100% sure that the other investments or activities would have yielded a specific gain.
For example, when you calculate the economic cost of starting your own business, you consider your current salary as an opportunity cost. But what happens if you get fired (or the company closes), your opportunity cost would have been $0? Or how can you exactly measure your future salaries? Maybe in a couple of years you get promoted to manager, or maybe not?
The same applies to economies, since the opportunity cost of producing certain tradable goods is not always fixed, it might decrease or increase due to productivity or efficiency changes. But in order to calculate or determine we must include the most probable option.
In microeconomics, a strictly convex production possibilities frontier function must include a combination of both goods. In strict convexity, the second derivative f''(x) ˃ 0, so the PFF curve cannot be straight, it must have a slope.
When we calculate the opportunity costs of PPF, we usually try to determine which product has the lowest opportunity cost, but that is not an interior solution because both goods are not being produced (the curve is not strictly convex). On a strictly convex curve, as you approach the extremes the opportunity cost of producing one good is high, but on the center the opportunity cost is much lower.
Mette Badminton Equipment Co. wants to raise $7 million to expand operations. To accomplish this, it plans to issue 20-year bonds with a face value of $1,000. The coupon rate is set at 9% and the couponds will be paid semi-annually. The bonds are priced at a yield-to-maturity of 10%. What is the minimum number of bonds the firm must sell to raise the $7 million
Answers
Answer:
7,657 bonds
Explanation:
In order to determine the minimum number of bonds first we have to find out the present value of the bond which is to be shown in the attached spreadsheet.
Data provided in the question
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = $1,000 × 9% ÷ 2 = $45
Rate of interest = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
NPER = 20 years × 2 = 40 years
The formula is shown below:
= PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after solving this, the present value of the bond is $914.20
Now the raise amount is $7 million
So, the number of minimum number of bonds is
= $7,000,000 ÷ $914.20
= 7,657 bonds

Explanation:
In this question we use the PMT and the NPER formula which is to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $200,000
Future value or Face value = $0
RATE = 6% ÷ 12 = 0.5%
NPER = 30 years × 12 months = 360 months
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the pmt is $1,199.10
Now NPER is
Given that,
Present value = $200,000
Future value or Face value = $100,000
RATE = 6% ÷ 12 = 0.5%
PMT = $1,199.10
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(RATE;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the pmt is 251.82

Net income will not be affected by the $33 additional write off
To address the student's question, the T-account for 2014 was prepared, the equation was used to prove the changes in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, summary journal entries for 2015 were recorded, and the missing write-offs for 2016 were calculated. It was also determined that an additional write-off of $33 would decrease Net Receivables but not affect Net Income.
Understanding Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
To prepare a T-account for the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts using the 2014 amounts, you would note the beginning balance as a credit (since it is a contra asset account), add the increases for the year as credits, and the decreases as debits. By the end of 2014, the transactions will reflect a credit balance of $8,300.
T-account for 2014:
Beginning balance (Credit): $12,800
Bad Debt Expense (Credit increase): $1,050
Write-offs (Debit decrease): $5,550
Ending balance (Credit): $8,300
To write the T-account in equation format:
Beginning balance + Increases (Bad Debt Expense) - Decreases (Write-offs) = Ending balance
$12,800 + $1,050 - $5,550 = $8,300
Summary Journal Entries for 2015:
(a) Bad Debt Expense
Debit: Bad Debt Expense $4,750 (Expense increases)
Credit: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $4,750 (Contra asset increases)
(b) Write-Offs
Debit: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $3,750 (Contra asset decreases)
Credit: Accounts Receivable $3,750 (Asset decreases)
Missing Information for 2016:
To find the missing write-offs for 2016, we can use the equation format:
$9,300 (Beginning balance) + $4,150 (Bad Debt Expense) - Write-offs = $1,350 (Ending balance)
Write-offs = $9,300 + $4,150 - $1,350 = $12,100
Effect of Additional Write-Offs:
If Travel Today had written off an additional $33 in Accounts Receivable during 2016, the Net Receivables would decrease by $33, and there would be no effect on Net Income, as write-offs affect only the balance sheet accounts and have no impact on the income statement once the allowance for doubtful accounts has been adjusted for the Bad Debt Expense.

Financial adjustments impact both the income statement and balance sheet, altering net income and account values. Taxable income is a key factor in these adjustments, and the merchandise trade balance, determined by exports and imports, affects the financial statements.
Explanation:Understanding Financial Adjustments and Their Impact on Financial StatementsTo evaluate the impact of financial adjustments on income statements and balance sheets, it's essential to recognize how each adjustment affects these financial documents. When identifying the effects on net income, adjustments either increase or decrease the profitability as displayed in the income statement. For the balance sheet, adjustments alter the value of assets, liabilities, or equity.
Consider taxable income, which is calculated by subtracting deductions and exemptions from the adjusted gross income. Different tax rates apply to different income levels, which could lead to further adjustments. Remember, the calculation of net income is influenced by various components, including tax rates and credits, as well as any alternative minimum tax.
When focusing on the merchandise trade balance, a few steps are integral. Step 1 requires entering the export amount of goods and services; Step 2, recording imports; and Step 3 marks the entry of income payments under exports. The merchandise trade balance (Step 9), for example, is obtained by subtracting the value of imports from exports, with unilateral transfers also affecting the balance.
These transactions not only affect the overall trade balance but also have implications for the national income and subsequently the tax computations, which could adjust the net income. It is vital to carefully identify each adjustment to accurately reflect its impact on both the income statement and balance sheet accounts.

Thom owes $7,200 on his credit card. The credit card carries an APR of 18.4 percent compounded monthly. If Thom makes monthly payments of $225 per month, how long will it take for him to pay off the credit card assuming that he makes no additional charges
Answers
Answer: 45 months
Explanation:
Credit owed $7200
Monthly payment $225
APR annaully 18.4%
Monthly APR = 18.4/12 = 1.533%
SOLUTION
1st Month interest payment
1.533% x $7200 / 100 = $110.40
Principal paid (monthly payment - interest paid) = $225 - $110.40 = $114.60
Balance ( principal - principal paid) = 7200 - 114.60 = $7085.40
2nd Month interest payment
1.533% x $7085.40 / 100 = $108.64
Principal paid (monthly payment - interest paid) = $225 - $108.64 = $116.36
Balance ( principal - principal paid) = $7085.40 - $116.36 = $6969.04
By following this step up to the 45th month you get $74.74 as the monthly payment this sums up to.
Month interest payment
1.533% x $74.74 / 100 = $1.15
Principal paid (monthly payment - interest paid) = $75.88 - $1.15 = $74.74
Balance ( principal - principal paid) = $74.74 - $74.74 = $0
The payment would be completed at exactly 45months

It is mentioned that the company will raise the exact amount of deficiency at the beginning of next month so any deficiency in January will be raised on 1st of February and any excess cash will be used to repay the principal amount.
Interest = Amount raised * Rate * Month

Interest due in Feb. = 9,500(Raised) * 0.14 * 1/12 months = $110.83
Interest Due in March = (9,500+5,087) * 14% * 1/12 months

Fruit First produces and sells baskets of dried fruit for $20 each. It receives a special order from Carol Costellano for 150 fruit baskets at a special price of $16. The company incurs a variable cost of $11 and a fixed manufacturing overhead of $6 per unit of fruit basket. The company is operating at full capacity and will have to cancel its existing orders to fill this special order. What will be the total opportunity cost that must be considered in the incremental analysis for this decision?
Answers
Answer:
$600
Explanation:
Normal selling price for baskets of dried fruits = $20
No. of baskets ordered = 150
At this price, the total selling revenue will be =$20*150 =$3000
Variable cost = $11*150 =$1650
Manufacturing overhead cost = $6*150 =$900
Income at a selling price of $20 = $3000-$(1650+900)=$450
For the special order
Selling price= $20
Total selling revenue =$16*150=$2400
Income at a selling price of $16 = $2400-$2550 = -$150 loss
The opportunity cost of this decision will be leaving a profit of $450 and obtaining a loss of $150
Total opportunity cost that must be considered in the incremental analysis for this decision =$450 +$150 =$600
The total opportunity cost for Fruit First is the lost profit on the displaced orders, which is 150 baskets x $9 lost contribution margin per basket, amounting to $1350.
The total opportunity cost for Fruit First in accepting Carol Costellano's special order at a special price involves calculating the loss from the reduced price per unit and the cost of cancelling existing orders. To fill the special order at $16 per unit instead of the regular $20, the company already incurs a lost contribution margin of $4 per unit (the difference between the usual selling price and the special order price). Since the variable cost is $11 per unit, the contribution margin on the regular orders would have been $9 per unit ($20 - $11). However, because the company is operating at full capacity, the opportunity cost also includes the profit forgone from the orders that must be canceled to accommodate this special order. If the fixed manufacturing overhead is $6 per unit and is unrecoverable, this cost should not figure into the incremental analysis for the special order as it is a sunk cost, assuming the fixed overhead does not increase because of the special order.
For 150 baskets, the total opportunity cost would therefore involve the lost profit on the displaced regular orders: 150 baskets imes $9 lost contribution margin per basket = $1350. The opportunity cost is the foregone profit from the orders that are cancelled to take on the special order.
The Draper Corporation is considering dropping its Doombug toy due to continuing losses. Data on the toy for the past year follow:
Sales of 15,000 units $ 150,000 Variable expenses 120,000 Contribution margin 30,000 Fixed expenses 40,000 Net operating loss $ (10,000 ) If the toy were discontinued, Draper could avoid $8,000 per year in fixed costs. The remainder of the fixed costs are not avoidable. Assuming all other conditions stay the same, at what level of annual sales of Doombugs (in units) should Draper be indifferent between discontinuing Doombugs or continuing the production and sale of Doombugs?
Answers
To find the break-even point for continuing the Doombug toy line, Draper Corporation needs to equate the unavoidable fixed costs with the contribution margin per unit. They would need to sell 16,000 units after dropping the avoidable fixed costs to break even.
The question from the Draper Corporation case relates to the analysis of whether to continue or discontinue the Doombug toy line. This situation can be evaluated using break-even analysis in a managerial accounting context. The calculation must factor in the unavoidable fixed costs that Draper Corporation would continue to incur and the avoidable fixed costs saved if the production ceases.
To find the sales level at which the company should be indifferent between continuing or discontinuing the Doombug, we need the contribution margin per unit and the avoidable fixed costs. The contribution margin per unit is calculated by taking the total contribution margin ($30,000) and dividing it by the number of units sold (15,000 units), giving $2 per unit. To cover the remaining fixed costs ($32,000, which is $40,000 total fixed costs minus $8,000 avoidable costs), divide these costs by the contribution margin per unit:
Breakeven Units = [tex]\frac{Total Fixed Costs - Avoidable Fixed Costs}{Contribution Margin per Unit}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{\$32,000}{\$2}[/tex] = 16,000 units $$
Thus, the Draper Corporation would need to sell 16,000 units of the Doombug after dropping the avoidable fixed costs to break even and be indifferent to the decision to stop production.

Consider tablets which are used by a majority of consumers. Suppose that due to the development of 5G technology, tablets underwent a major advance from 2020 to 2021 in terms of the number of functions they could do. The tablets in 2021 sold at the same price as those in 2020. What would be the effect on the CPI?
Answers
Answer:
Tablets are used by a majority of consumers. Although the tablets underwent a major advance from 2020 to 2021, the price of the tablets remained the same. Therefore, the CPI would largely remain the same as the price of tablets remained the same.

The following data are from the accounting records of Kain Company: Net income $40,000 Depreciation expense 8,000 Decrease in accounts payable 1,800 Decrease in merchandise inventory 2,500 Increase in long-term liabilities 10,000 Increase in common stock 25,000 Increase in accounts receivable 4,000 Based on this information, the net cash flows from operating activities on the statement of cash flows using the indirect method would be: a.$51,300. b.$42,100. c.$50,000. d.$44,700.
Answers
Answer:
d. $44,700
Explanation:
The preparation of the Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Indirect Method is shown below:
Cash flow from Operating activities - Indirect method
Net income $40,000
Add : Depreciation expense $8,000
Less: Decrease in accounts payable -$1,800
Add: Decrease in merchandise inventory $2,500
Less: Increase in accounts receivable -$4,000
Net cash flows from operating activities $44,700
The long term liabilities and the common stock is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
Final answer:
The net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method would be $44,700 after adding back non-cash depreciation expense, subtracting the increase in accounts receivable, adding the decrease in merchandise inventory, and subtracting the decrease in accounts payable to the net income.
Explanation:
To calculate the net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method, we start with the net income and make adjustments for non-cash expenses and changes in working capital. We add back depreciation since it's a non-cash expense and adjust for the changes in working capital accounts (accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable).
The calculation is as follows:
Net Income: $40,000
Add: Depreciation Expense: $8,000
Decrease in Accounts Receivable: Subtract the increase: $(4,000)
Decrease in Merchandise Inventory: Add the decrease: $2,500
Decrease in Accounts Payable: Subtract the decrease: $(1,800)
Now, we sum these amounts:
$40,000 (Net Income)
+$8,000 (Depreciation Expense)
-$4,000 (Increase in Accounts Receivable)
+$2,500 (Decrease in Merchandise Inventory)
-$1,800 (Decrease in Accounts Payable)
Total adjustments = $8,000 - $4,000 + $2,500 - $1,800 = $4,700
Net cash provided by operating activities = $40,000 + $4,700 = $44,700
Therefore, the correct answer is (d) $44,700.

Blue Landscaping began construction of a new plant on December 1, 2017. On this date, the company purchased a parcel of land for $150,000 in cash. In addition, it paid $2,400 in surveying costs and $3,840 for a title insurance policy. An old dwelling on the premises was demolished at a cost of $3,360, with $1,200 being received from the sale of materials.
Architectural plans were also formalized on December 1, 2017, when the architect was paid $36,000. The necessary building permits costing $3,360 were obtained from the city and paid for on December 1 as well. The excavation work began during the first week in December with payments made to the contractor in 2018 as follows.
Date of Payment Amount of Payment
March 1 $ 262,800
May 1 333,600
July 1 63,600
The building was completed on July 1, 2018.
To finance construction of this plant, Blue borrowed $603,600 from the bank on December 1, 2017. Blue had no other borrowings. The $603,600 was a 10-year loan bearing interest at 10%.
Compute the balance in each of the following accounts at December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
December 31, 2017 December 31, 2018
(a) Balance in Land Account
(b) Balance in Building
(c) Balance in Interest Expense
Answers
Final answer:
At December 31, 2017, Blue Landscaping's Land Account is $154,080, the Building Account is $39,360, and the Interest Expense is $5,030. By December 31, 2018, the Land Account remains at $154,080, the Building Account increases to $699,360, and the Interest Expense for the year is $60,360.
Explanation:
To compute the balance in each account for Blue Landscaping at December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018, the costs incurred and payments made towards the construction must be taken into account, as well as the interest expense incurred from the loan.
December 31, 2017 Balances
Land Account: includes the purchase of land, surveying costs, title insurance, and net demolition costs (demolition costs minus the sale of materials): $150,000 + $2,400 + $3,840 - ($3,360 - $1,200) = $154,080.Building Account: includes the architectural plans fee and permits since no construction payments were made in 2017: $36,000 + $3,360 = $39,360.Interest Expense: the interest for one month (December) on the loan at 10%: $603,600 * 10% * (1/12) = $5,030 (rounded to $5,030).December 31, 2018 Balances
The Land Account will remain unchanged at $154,080 as no further costs are added to land.Building Account: add payments made to the contractor to the initial balance: $39,360 + $262,800 + $333,600 + $63,600 = $699,360.Interest Expense: the interest for the full year (2018) on the loan at 10%: $603,600 * 10% = $60,360.Blossom Company, a machinery dealer, leased a machine to Dexter Corporation on January 1, 2020.

( To record the collectibility of the lease payments was not probable for Blossom)
1/1/2020 Inventory A/c Dr. $1,470
To Gain on Lease A/c $1,470
The computed lease receivable for Blossom is $201,108.44. Journal entries will include recording the lease payment and the interest revenue. If collectability is not probable, only lease revenue is recognized as payments are received. If at the end of the lease the machine has a fair value of $1,470, an entry is made to recognize this.
Explanation:The lease receivable represents the current value of the lease payments that Blossom Company expects to receive over the 8-year lease term. The lease payments are an annuity due as they are received at the beginning of each year. As such, the amount of the lease receivable can be calculated as follows:
Lease Receivable = Lease Payment * ((1 - (1 + Interest Rate) ^ - Lease Term) / Interest Rate)
Plugging in the given values:
Lease Receivable = $32,207 * ((1 - (1 + 6%) ^ -8) / 6%) = $201,108.44.
The necessary journal entries for Blossom in 2020 will include:
January 1, 2020: Debit Lease Receivable $32,207, Credit Cash $32,207 (to record the receipt of the lease payment)December 31, 2020: Debit Interest Receivable $12,066.51 (6% of $201,108.44), Credit Interest Revenue $12,066.51 (to record the interest earned on the lease receivable).However, if the collectability of the lease payments was not probable for Blossom, the company would only recognize revenue as the payments are received. Thus, the only journal entry in 2020 would be:
January 1, 2020: Debit Cash $32,207, Credit Lease Revenue $32,207.
Finally, at the end of the lease term, if Blossom finds that the machine has a fair value of $1,470, the company would make the following entry:
Debit Equipment $1,470, Credit Gain on Return of Leased Equipment $1,470 (assuming Blossom had fully depreciated the machine by this time).

It takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to make one unit. Direct labor wages average $17 per hour. Variable overhead is applied at the rate of $5 per direct labor hour. Fixed overhead is budgeted at $56,500 per month. What is the budgeted overhead for November
Answers
Answer:
$404,000
Explanation:
Overheads includes all indirect cost incurred to product the units to be sold. Indirect costs are those costs which are not directly traceable / attributable to the product. These cost are variable and fixed.
Time for each unit = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours
Budgeted production in November = Closing Inventory + Sales in November - Opening Inventory.
Budgeted production in November = (180,000 x 10% ) + 135,000 - 14,000 = 139,000
Budgeted production overhead Included all the variable and fixed overheads incurred to produce the budgeted production.
Variable overhead = 139,000 x 5 X 0.5 = $347,500
Total budgeted Overhead = $347,500 + $56,500 = $404,000

Net sales $108,249 $62,071
Net Income 25,922 3.492
Total assets, beginning 75,183 38,599
Total assets, ending 116,371 44,533
Required:
1. Calculate Sub Station's return on assets, profit margin, and asset turnover ratio.
Answers
Answer:
The computations are shown below:
Explanation:
Return On Assets = Net income ÷ Average Total Assets × 100
where,
Average of Assets = (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets) ÷ 2
= ($75,183 + $116,371) ÷ 2
= $191,554 ÷ 2
= $95,777
So, the return on investment is
=$25,922 ÷ $95,777 × 100
= 27.06%
Profit Margin = Net income ÷ Sales × 100
= $25,922 ÷ $108,249 × 100
= 23.95%
Assets Turnover = Sales ÷ Average of Total Assets
= $108,249 ÷$95,777
= 1.13
To calculate Sub Station's financial ratios, we found its return on assets to be 27.07%, profit margin to be 23.94%, and asset turnover ratio to be 1.13.
Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
1. Return on Assets (ROA)
Return on Assets measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate profit.
ROA = (Net Income / Average Total Assets) x 100
Average Total Assets = (Total assets, beginning + Total assets, ending) / 2
For Sub Station:
Average Total Assets = ($75,183 + $116,371) / 2 = $95,777
ROA = ($25,922 / $95,777) x 100 = 27.07%
2. Profit Margin
The Profit Margin indicates the percentage of revenue that has turned into profit.
Profit Margin = (Net Income / Net Sales) x 100
For Sub Station:
Profit Margin = ($25,922 / $108,249) x 100 = 23.94%
3. Asset Turnover Ratio
The Asset Turnover Ratio measures the efficiency of a company's use of its assets to generate sales.
Asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Total Assets
For Sub Station:
Asset Turnover Ratio = $108,249 / $95,777 = 1.13

Compute the payback period for the machine. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Payback period years b. Compute the simple rate of return for the machine. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) Simple rate of return %
Answers
Answer:
Payback is 6.5 years
simple rate of return is 6.50%
Explanation:
The payback period for the investment is the number of years it would take the initial capital outlay of $537,600 to recoup itself,which is given by the formula below:
payback period=initial investment/annual incremental savings
initial investment is $537,600
annual incremental savings is $82,708
payback period=$537,600/$82,708= 6.5 years
Simple rate of return =annual savings-depreciation/initial investment
depreciation=($537,600-$107,520)/9=$47,786.67
simple rate of return=($82,708-$47,786.67)/$537,600=6.50%

If the price elasticity of demand for good X is -4.0 and the cross-price elasticity of demand between Y and X is 2.0, then a 2 percent decrease in the price of X will _______.
Answers
Answer:
X demand would rise by 8% ; Y demand would fall by 4%
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness in demand quantity, due to change in good's price
P.Ed = % change in demand / % change in own price
Cross Price Elasticity is the responsiveness in a good's demand quantity, due to change in other good's price
C.Ed = % change in demand (Y) / % change in other good's price (X)
Given {Good X Elasticities} : P.Ed = (-) 4 ; C.Ed = 2
Price of X decrease = 2%
P.Ed = 4 = % change in demand / 2
% change in demand of X = 2 x 4 = 8%
P.Ed absolute value ignoring negative has been taken due to law of demand price - demand inverse relationship already depicting it. So, 2% fall in price of X increases it's quantity demanded by 8%
C.Ed = 2 = % change in Y demand / 2
% change in Y demand = 2 x 2 = 4%
Cross Price Elasticity of demand is positive in case of substitute goods. These goods can be interchange-ably used to satisfy a particular want. Substitutes price & demand are directly related;- as price fall of a good makes it relatively cheap, increases its demand, decreases other good's demand. So, 2% decrease in good X price decreases good Y demand by 4%
7) You are thinking of building a new machine that will save you $50,000 in the first year. The machine will then begin to wear out so that the savings decline at a rate of 2.5 percent per year forever. What is the present value of the savings if the discount rate is 8 percent per year?\
Answers
Answer:
$476190.47
Explanation:
Given,
Annual Saving = $50,000.
Growth = -2.5%
Interest rate = 8%
Present value of savings = Annual Saving / (Interest rate- Growth)
= $50,000 / (0.08-(-0.025)
= $50,000 / (0.08+0.025)
= $50,000 / 0.105
= $476190.47.
Therefore, the present vaue of the savings is $14,285.71.

Answers
Answer:
1. Total Annual Cash Inflows = 5000
2. Discount Factor = 3.72
3. New Machine's internal rate of return = 16%
Explanation:
Note: the question is incomplete and it lacks essential data to be used in part 4. Without the exhibits mentioned in the questions, it is not possible to solve this question completely. We will be solving it till part 3.
1) What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new machine for capital budgeting purposes?
Answer:
In this we have to calculate the total annual cash inflows and the formula to calculate it is mentioned below:
Total Annual Cash Inflows = Savings in Part Time help annually + Additional contribution Margin from Expected Sales.
Total Annual Cash Inflows = 3800 + ( 1000 x 1.20)
Total Annual Cash Inflows = 3800 + 1200
Total Annual Cash Inflows = 5000
2. What discount factor should be used to compute the new machine’s internal rate of return?
Answer:
Formula to calculate the Discount factor:
Discount Factor = Price of new machine/ annual cash inflow
Price of new machine = 18600 USD
Annual cash inflow = 5000
Discount Factor = 18600 /5000
Discount Factor = 3.72
3. What is the new machine’s internal rate of return?
Answer:
As, it can be seen from the exhibits (which are missing from this question) that the discount factor for 6 years is nearly closest to 16%, hence the new machine's internal rate of return = 16%
Note: the question is incomplete and it lacks essential data to be used in part 4. without the exhibits mentioned in the questions. It is impossible to solve further.
The total annual cash inflow is $5,000. There isn't enough information provided to calculate the discount factor and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The salvage value will also change the calculation.
Explanation:1. To calculate the total annual cash inflows, we add the cost savings from reducing part-time help and the additional contribution from the sale of new donuts. The cost saving is $3,800. The additional contribution is the number of dozens of new donuts (1,000) times the contribution margin per dozen ($1.20), which is $1,200. So, the total annual cash inflows are $3,800+$1,200=$5,000.
2. The question does not provide enough information to determine the discount factor. Normally, it would either be provided or calculated based on a given discount rate (interest rate).
3. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) also cannot be determined without either the net present value at a specific discount rate or the cash inflows for each year given. The IRR is the discount rate that makes the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project zero.
4. With a salvage value, the calculation would change, as the salvage value is a one-time cash inflow at the end of the machine’s life. Again, without specific annual cash inflows, it is impossible to accurately calculate the IRR.
