On December 31, 2018, Perry Corporation leased equipment to Admiral Company for a five-year period. The annual lease payment, excluding nonlease components, is $ 43,000. The interest rate for this lease is 12%. The payments are due on December 31 of each year. The first payment was made on December 31, 2018. The normal cash price for this type of equipment is $ 150,000 while the cost to Perry was $ 126,000. For the year ended December 31, 2018, by what amount will Perry's earnings increase due to this lease (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
The correct answer is $24,000.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
Fair value of equipment = $150,000
Cost to Perry = $126,000
So, we can calculate the earning by using following formula:
Profit = Fair value of equipment - Cost to Perry
By putting the value in the formula, we get
Profit = $150,000 - $126,000
= $24,000
On January 1, 2009, Vacker Co. acquired 70% of Carper Inc. by paying $650,000. This included a $20,000 control premium. Carper reported common stock on that date of $420,000 with retained earnings of $252,000. A building was undervalued in the company's financial records by $28,000. This building had a ten-year remaining life. Copyrights of $80,000 were to be recognized and amortized over 20 years. Carper earned income and paid cash dividends as follows: NI Div Paid 2009 $105,000 $54,600 2010 $134,400 $61,600 2011 $154,000 $84,000 On December 31, 2011, Vacker owed $30,800 to Carper. There have been no changes in Carper's common stock account since the acquisition. 1. Show the acquisition date FV allocation, which includes detailed steps such as allocation to BV, FV over BV, and Goodwill allocation, between controlling and noncontrolling interests.
Answer:
Goodwill allocations
Goodwill attributed to Vacker co. - 70% = $104000
Goodwill attributed to non-controllable interest - 30% = $36000
Explanation:
Showing the acquisition date FV allocation , which includes detailed steps such as allocation to BV,FV over BV and Goodwill allocation, between controlling and nocontrolling interests
$28000 was set out as the fair value of the building and will be amortized within ten years remaining
$80000 were to be recognized and amortized over 20 years
Amortized assets are : building and copyright
Goodwill = fair value of the assets acquired - controlling interests
The assets acquired include : copyright, common stocks , retained earnings and buildings
controlling interests = non-controlling interest * 30%
Goodwill allocations
Goodwill attributed to Vacker co. - 70% = $104000
Goodwill attributed to non-controllable interest - 30% = $36000
Camilo’s property, with an adjusted basis of $155,000, is condemned by the state. Camilo receives property with a fair market value of $180,000 as compensation for the property taken.
a. What is Camilo’s realized and recognized gain?
b. What is the basis of the replacement property
Answer:
The correct answer for (a) is $25,000 and $0 and for option (b) is $155,000.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
Adjusted basis = $155,000
Fair market value = $180,000
(a). Realized gain = Fair market value - Adjusted basis
= $180,000 - $155,000
= $25,000
As, fair market value is more than the adjusted basis, so there will be no recognized gain.
So, Recognized gain = $0
(b). We can calculate the basis of the replacement by using following formula:
Basis = Market value - Realized gain
= $180,000 - $25,000
= $155,000
The following information relates to Halloran Co.'s accounts receivable for 2018: Accounts receivable balance, 1/1/2018 $ 844,000 Credit sales for 2018 3,470,000 Accounts receivable written off during 2018 54,000 Collections from customers during 2018 3,050,000 Allowance for uncollectible accounts balance, 12/31/2018 205,000 What amount should Halloran report for accounts receivable, before allowances, at December 31, 2018?A. $1,210,000.B. $1,264,000.C. $1,005,000.D. None of these answer choices are correct.
Answer:
The correct option is A.
Explanation:
Let us journalize the effects of the transactions as follows:
Debit Accounts receivable $3,470,000
Credit Sales revenue $3,470,000
(To record credit sales during the year)
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $54,000
Credit Accounts receivable $54,000
(To write-off accounts receivable)
Debit Cash $3,050,000
Credit Accounts receivable $3,050,000
(To record collections on account)
The net effects of the above journals on Accounts receivable is: $844,000 + $3,470,000 - $54,000 - $3,050,000 = $1,210,000
On January 3, 2014, Trusty Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $90,000. Before placing the truck in service, Trusty spent $3,000 painting it, $1,500 replacing tires, and $4,500 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $9,000. The truck's annual mileage is expected to be 22,500 miles in each of the first four years and 10,000 miles in the fifth year - 100,000 miles in total.
In deciding which depreciation method to use, Mikail Johnson, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 - 5 under:
the Straight-line method is $90,000.the Units-of-production method is $90,000.the Double-declining-balance method is $86,170.Explanation:
The total cost of the asset is $90,000 + $3,000 + $1,500 + $4,500 = $99,000, since all the other costs were directly attributable cost and were necessary to bring the asset to usable form.
The painting is capitalized because it is the first time Trust Delivery would be using the asset, otherwise it would have been expendedOverhauling cost can be regarded as a separate asset, if we were provided with different useful lives - componentization.Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($99,000 - $9,000) / 5 years = $18,000 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 to 5 is $18,000 x 5 years $90,000.
The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:
(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year
At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($99,000 - $9,000) / 100,000 miles x 22,500 miles = $20,250/year
Accumulated depreciation for the first four years is $20,250 x 4 years = $81,000.
At Year 5, depreciation = $90,000 / 100,000 miles x 10,000 miles = $9,000
Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Years 1 - 4.
Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 5, under this method, is $90,000 (addition of first four years and the Year 5).
The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:
Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV
SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage
BV = Book value
SLDP is 100%/5years = 20%, then 20% multiplied by 2 to give 40%
At Year 1, 40% X $99,000 = $39,600
At Year 2, 40% X $59,400 ($99,000 - $39,600) = $23,760
At Year 3, 40% X $35,640 ($59,400 - $23,760) = $14,256
At Year 4, 40% X $21,384 ($35,640 - $14,256) = $8,554 approximately (the depreciation expense would stop at this stage since the amount falls below the residual value).
Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 4, under this method, is $86,170 (addition of all the yearly depreciation).

When the selling division in an internal transfer has unsatisfied demand from outside customers for the product that is being transferred, then the lowest acceptable transfer price as far as the selling division is concerned is: A. variable cost of producing a unit of product. B. the full absorption cost of producing a unit of product. C. the market price charged to outside customers, less costs saved by transferring internally. D. the amount that the purchasing division would have to pay an outside seller to acquire a similar product for its use.
Answer:
C. the market price charged to outside customers, less costs saved by transferring internally.
Explanation:
Divisional manager performance is evaluated separately from one department to another. The Selling department need a minimum price equivalent to price the items fetch in market transaction to raise performance.
However goal congruence has to be met, therefore the price must exclude savings as a result of Internal transfer for the interest of the firm as a whole.

A firm is considering changing their credit terms. It is estimated that this change would result in sales increasing by $ 1 comma 400 comma 000 $1,400,000. This in turn would cause inventory to increase by $ 175 comma 000 $175,000, accounts receivable to increase by $ 140 comma 000 $140,000, and accounts payable to increase by $ 60 comma 000 $60,000. What is the firm's expected change in net working capital?
Answer:
The firm's expected change in net working capital: Net working capital increases by $255,000
Explanation:
Net working capital is calculated by using following formula:
Net working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities
The inventory increases by $175,000, accounts receivable increases by $140,000.
The Current assets increases by: $175,000 + $140,000 = $315,000
The accounts payable increases by $60,000, the Current Liabilities increases by $60,000
Net working capital increases by: $315,000 - $60,000 = $255,000
Answer:
$255,000
Explanation:
As we Know Working capital is the the net or current assets and current liabilities.
Increase in Current Assets
Accounts receivable $140,000
Inventories $175,000
Total Increase in CA $315,000
Increase in Current Liabilities
Accounts payable $60,000
Increase in Working Capital = Increase in Current Assets - Increase in Current Liabilities
Change in Working Capital = $315,000 - $60,000 = -$255,000
As current Liabilities increased more than the current assets, so the working capital will decrease by $255,000

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $150 and $105, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 107,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $30 $10
Direct labor 25 20
Variable manufacturing overhead 12 10
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 21 23
Variable selling expenses 17 13
Common fixed expenses 20 15
Total cost per unit $125 $91
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
Required:
1. What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for the Alpha product line and for the Beta product line?
2. What is the company’s total amount of common fixed expenses?
3. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 85,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 15,000 additional Alphas for a price of $100 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?
4. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 95,000 Betas during the current year. One of Cane’s sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 5,000 additional Betas for a price of $44 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer’s offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?
The total traceable fixed manufacturing overhead and common fixed expenses for the Alpha and Beta lines were calculated using given data. Further, by considering variable costs and revenues, the impact on profits of additional sales was evaluated. The findings reveal an increase in profits for additional Alpha sales but a decrease for Beta.
Explanation:1. To compute the traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for each product line, we first need to multiply the units produced by the cost per unit. Therefore, for Alpha, the traceable fixed manufacturing overhead equals 107,000 units * $21 per unit = $2,247,000. For Beta, the traceable fixed manufacturing overhead equals 107,000 units * $23 per unit = $2,461,000.
2. To determine the total amount of common fixed expenses, we can use the given unit cost figures. For Alpha, the total cost per unit is $125 and the common fixed expense per unit is $20, implying 20/125 = 16% of the total costs are common fixed expenses. For Beta, the total cost per unit is $91 and common fixed expense per unit is $15, implying 15/91 = 16.5% of total costs. We average the percentages and multiply by the total unit costs produced to determine the common fixed expense. Thus, the total common fixed expense is approximately 16.25% of $216 (average cost of alpha and beta) * 214,000 (total production of both Alpha and Beta) = $7,554,750.
3. The additional 15,000 Alphas would sell for $100 each resulting in revenue of $1,500,000. However, the variable costs would increase. Variable costs are equal to direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + variable selling expenses = $30 + $25 + $12 + $17 = $84 per unit. Thus, variable costs for the additional units would be 15,000 units * $84 = $1,260,000. The profit increase would be calculated by subtracting variable costs from the total revenue, which would result in an increase of $240,000.
4. The additional 5,000 Betas selling for $44 each would lead to a revenue of $220,000. Variable costs for Beta include direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + variable selling expenses, resulting in $10 + $20 + $10 + $13 = $53 per unit. For the additional units, this equals 5,000 units * $53 = $265,000. By subtracting the variable costs from total revenues, we find that accepting the offer would result in a decrease in profits of $45,000.

May 25% of 200,000= 55,000
June 25% of 240,000 =60,000
Final answer:
The production budget for the second quarter is determined by calculating the number of units to be produced each month, aligning with sales forecasts and inventory policy, which mandates a 25% ending inventory relative to the next month's sales.
Explanation:
The production budget for Aqua-pro Inc. requires calculating the number of units to be produced each month based on sales forecasts and inventory policy. With the given unit sales for April (180,000), May (220,000), June (200,000), and July (240,000), along with the company's ending inventory policy of 25% of the next month's sales, we can calculate the production for each month.
For April, the beginning inventory is 21,000, and the desired ending inventory is 25% of May's sales, which is 55,000 units (220,000 * 0.25). Therefore, the production needed for April is April's sales plus May's ending inventory minus April's beginning inventory (180,000 + 55,000 - 21,000 = 214,000 units). Using the same method, calculate for May and June by taking into account the desired ending inventory for the following month and the actual unit sales of the current month.
To find the total production for the quarter, simply add the production amounts for April, May, and June. Keep in mind that July's beginning inventory also needs to be 25% of August's sales (which we assume to be equal to July's sales unless stated otherwise).
A company purchased an asset for $3,400,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, and 14.81 percent, respectively. What is the book value of the equipment at the end of the project?
Annual starting salaries for college graduates with degrees in business administration are generally expected to be between $43,000 and $61,600. Assume that a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean annual starting salary is desired. (Round your answers up to the nearest whole number.)
Answer: 332
Explanation:
Lowest value = $43,000
Highest value = $61,600
Range = ( HV - LV ) / 4
= ( $61,600 - $43,000 ) / 4
= $4650
Where p = $4650
Required sample size (n)
n = ( Za /2 × P/E )²........... equation 1
Using 95% confidence level
Za/2 = Z 1 - 0.95
= Z0.025
= 1.96 using Z-table
Substituting Z into equation 1
n = ( 1.96 × 4650/500 )²
= ( 1.96 × 9.3 )²
= 332.25
To the nearest whole number

7. A stock price (which pays no dividends) is $50 and the strike price of a two year European put option is $54. The risk-free rate is 3% (continuously compounded). Compute the lower bound for the put option such that there are arbitrage opportunities if the price is below the lower bound and no arbitrage opportunities if it is above the lower bound
Answer:
LOWER BOUND FOR THE OPTION
= $54 e-0.03045 *2 - $50
= ($54 * 0.94092) - $50
= $50.81 - $50
= $0.81
Note
3% is the simple interest but 0.03045 is the compound interest.
The lower bound for the European put option is calculated as the maximum of zero or the difference between the strike price and the current stock price, discounted back to the present using the risk-free rate over the option's life. The calculation results in $3.76704, which is the threshold below which an arbitrage opportunity might exist.
To compute the lower bound for a European put option, we can utilize a financial concept known as put-call parity. However, because we are not given any information about a corresponding call option or the price of a put option, we'll focus on the intrinsic value of the put option.
The value of a put option equals the present value (discounted value) of the strike price minus the current stock price, provided this difference is positive. Otherwise, the value is zero since an option cannot have a negative intrinsic value.
The formula for the lower bound of a European put option price is:
Lower bound = max(0, Strike Price - Current Stock Price) × exp(-risk free rate × time to expiry)
In this case:
Strike Price (K) = $54Current Stock Price (S) = $50Risk-free rate (r) = 3%Time to expiry (T) in years = 2We then calculate the lower bound:
Lower bound = max(0, 54 - 50) × exp(-0.03 × 2) = 4 × exp(-0.06) = 4 × 0.94176 = $3.76704
Therefore, if the price of the put option is below $3.76704, there would be an arbitrage opportunity. If it is above this price, there should be no arbitrage opportunities.
Important to note: The actual market price of the option could be higher due to the time value of money and other market factors, but it cannot be lower than its intrinsic value without presenting an arbitrage opportunity.

The firm will raise the $270,000 in capital by issuing $100,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 9.6%, $30,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 10.7%, and $140,000 of equity at a cost of 13.5%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project
Answer:
10.32%
Explanation:
WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs. weightage can be calculated by using the market value of the equity and debt.
The formula for WACC is
Weighted average cost of capital = (Cost of Common stock x Weightage of Common stock) + (Cost of debt (1 - tax ) x Weightage of debt) + (Cost of Preferred stock x Weightage of Preferred stock)
Weighted average cost of capital = (13.5% x 140,000 / 270,000) + (9.6%(1 - 0.4) x $1,00,000 / $270,000 ) + (10.7% x $30,000 / $270,000 )
Weighted average cost of capital = 7% + 2.13% + 1.19% = 10.32%
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for Turnbull Co.'s project, given the provided funding mix and costs, is approximately 10.36%.
Explanation:The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for Turnbull Co. will be calculated by taking the percentage of each type of debt in the total capital and multiplying it with its related cost. Each of these resulting values is then summed up. For the debt: ($100,000 / $270,000) * 9.6% * (1 - 0.40) = 0.02133 or 2.133%. For the preferred stock: ($30,000 / $270,000) * 10.7% = 0.0119 or 1.19%. For common equity: ($140,000 / $270,000) * 13.5% = 0.07037 or 7.037%. So, the total WACC for this project will be 2.133% + 1.19% + 7.037% = 10.360, or approximately 10.36%.

Consider returns R on a stock XYZ in the follwoing 4 states of he economy. each with probability p Boom state: p=0.15, R=35% Normal state: p=x?, R=8% Slowdown state: p=0.1, R=1% Recession state: p=0.2, R = -33% What is the expected return for stock XYZ? Quote your answer to 1 decimal place, but do not type the "%" Do not round intermediate results.
Answer:
The return on stock XYZ is 3.2
Explanation:
The expected return on a stock whose returns differ based on different scenarios can be calculated by multiplying the return in a scenario by the probability of that scenario and taking a sum of all such scenario returns after they have been multiplied by their respective probabilities.
The formula can be written as,
Return on a stock = rA * pA + rB * pB + ... + rN * pN
Where,
r represents the scenario returnsp represents the probability of scenariosProbability of normal state (x) = 1 - (0.15 + 0.1 + 0.2) = 0.55
Return on stock XYZ = 0.35 * 0.15 + 0.08 * 0.55 + 0.01 * 0.1 + (-0.33) * 0.2
Return on stock XYZ = 0.0315 or 3.15% rounded off to 3.2%
In 2021, the controller of Sytec Corporation discovered that $62,000 of inventory purchases were incorrectly charged to advertising expense in 2020. In addition, the 2020 year-end inventory count failed to include $40,000 of company merchandise held on consignment by Erin Brothers. Sytec uses a periodic inventory system. Other than the omission of the merchandise on consignment, the year-end inventory count was correct. The amounts of the errors are deemed to be material. Required: 1. Determine the effect of the errors on retained earnings at January 1, 2021. (Ignore income taxes.) 2. Prepare a journal entry to correct the errors.
Answer:
Reduction is retained earnings by $40,000
The correcting journal entries:
Dr merchandise inventory $40,000
Cr Retained earnings $40,000
Explanation:
The impact of the omitted consigned inventory and the inventory purchases debited to advertising expenses are shown below
increase in purchases $62,000
omitted closing inventory ($40,000)
increase in cost of goods sold $22,000
Reduction in advertising expenses $62,000
Increase in retained earnings $40,000
The implication of this is that the closing inventory was lower by $40,000 and retained earning was lower by the same amount
The correcting journal entries:
Dr merchandise inventory $40,000
Cr Retained earnings $40,000
It is noteworthy that a lower closing inventory means a higher cost of goods ,as a result a lower operating profit and retained earnings
Assume you’ve just started a new business to manufacture Fry-Plate, a new solar-powered cooking pan for camping. Your business analyst tells you that in the long run Fry-Plate will sell for $32.50 because, after a few years pass, similar products will be introduced by your competitors. Assume that, in the long run, you want to earn $4.50 on each unit of Fry-Plate sold. What is the target price? What is the target profit? What is the target cost? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Target price $32.50
Target profit $4.50
Target cost $28.00
Explanation:
Target price $32.50
Target profit $4.50
Target cost ($32.50-$4.50)
$28.00
Therefore the target price is $32.50,
The target profit is $4.50 while the target cost is $28.00
Answer:
First of all let's understand that Target costing is a system under which a company plans the price, costs, and the margins that it wants to achieve for a new product in advance. The following are the three terms that should be familiarized.
(a) Target price – It is the price the company is expected to sell.
(b) Target profit – It is the required margin the company is expected to gain on selling price.
(c) Target cost – It is the cost the company is expected to incur on manufacturing of the product.
Based on the given information, the target price, target profit and target cost is determined as below:
(a) Target price is the selling price. That is $32.50.
(b) Target profit is the amount we wish to earn. That is $4.50.
(c) Target cost is the difference between the target price and the target profit. That is $28 ($32.50 - $4.50).
Explanation:
What is the payback period for Tangshan Mining company's new project if its initial after-tax cost is $5,000,000 and it is expected to provide after-tax operating cash inflows of $1,800,000 in year 1, $1,900,000 in year 2, $700,000 in year 3, and $1,800,000 in year 4
Answer:
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flow.
In year 1 , the amount recovered is = $-5,000,000 + $1,800,000 = $-3,200,000
In year 2, the amount recovered is = $-3,200,000 + $1,900,000 = $-1,300,000
In year 3, the amount recovered is = $-1,300,000 + $700,000 = $-600,000
In year 4, the amount recovered is 3 + (600,000 / 1,800,000) = 3.33 years

7. Suppose that people expect inflation to equal 3%, but in fact, prices rise by 5%. Describe how this unexpectedly high inflation rate would help or hurt the following: 1. the government 2. a homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage 3. a union worker in the second year of a labor contract 4. a college that has invested some of its endowment in government bonds
Answer:
The answer is:
1. Help
2. Help
3. Hurt
4. Hurt
Explanation:
1. Help. This unxpected increase in inflation will help the government because this will increase its revenue and also reduce the real value of government outstanding debts.
2. Help. Paying at a fixed rate that was agreed when the interest rate was 3percent will be of help with the home owners because the real interest rate he will be paying lower. The lenders lose during this period.
3. Hurt. It will hurt this worker because the contract was agreed when the interest rate was 3percent. Now that prices of goods and services have increased, purchasing power will be reduced.
4. Hurt. Because with increased inflation, interest rates will be lower. So the college is earning lower interest rate.

Compute the expected ROI, margin, and turnover. ROI % Margin % Turnover Why did the ROI increase over the Year 3 level?
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
1. see attachment for the table
2: Conceptual connection
Year 4 : Sales = 14500000, Operating Income = 1200000, Average Assets = 15000000
ROI= Operating Income/Average Assets = 1200000/15000000 = 0.08
Margin = Operating income/Sales = 1200000/14500000 = 0.08
Turnover ratio :Sales/Average Assets = 14500000/15000000 = 0.97
The ROI has increased in year 4 over the 3rd Year’s ROI because Operating income is increased but inventory were same . So we are earning more amount of profit from the same level of investment which is the reason of increase in ROI.
3. Conceptual connection
Year 4 : Sales = 9000000, Operating Income = 945000, Average Assets = 12000000
ROI= Operating Income/Average Assets = 945000/12000000 = 0.08
Margin = Operating income/Sales = 945000/9000000 = 0.11
Turnover ratio :Sales/Average Assets = 9000000/12000000 = 0.75
The ROI has exceeded level of year 3 because operating profit is same but the investment in assets is lower under year 4. So we are able to earn same amount i.e. 945000 by investing lesser. The same return of profit with lower investment has increased the ROI.
4. Conceptual Connection
Year 4 : Sales = 14500000, Operating Income = 1200000, Average Assets = 12000000
ROI= Operating Income/Average Assets = 1200000/12000000 = 0.10
Margin = Operating income/Sales = 1200000/14500000 = 0.08
Turnover ratio :Sales/Average Assets = 14500000/12000000 = 1.21
The ROI has exceeded the level of year 3 because operating profit is increased at the same time the investment in assets is also decresed. So we are able to earn more amount by investing lesser. So there are two factors which has increased ROI first is more operating income and second the lower investment. We are able to earn more with lesser investment.

Priya owns a small manufacturing operation and is reviewing her company's pricing strategy. She sees that her company's total variable expenses are $987,493 and its fixed expenses are $378,674. Her company's total revenue is $1,590,655. Suppose that Priya's company manufactures 84,000 units of the product. What is her company's breakeven selling price?
Answer:
$16.26
Explanation:
The break-even point is the level of sales at which the business incur no profit no loss.Fixed and variable costs are covered at this level of sales. Use following formula of break-even to calculate the fixed cost.
As we know that
Break-even price per unit = Variable cost per unit + Fixed cost per unit
Break-even price per unit = ($987,493/84,000) + ($378,674/84,000)
Break-even price per unit = $16.26 (Rounded to 2 decimal places )
Shao Airlines is considering two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million and will produce net cash flows of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million and will produce net cash flows of $27 million per year. Shao plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Inflation in operating costs, airplane costs, and fares is expected to be zero, and the company's cost of capital is 11%.By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better project (plane)? What is the equivalent annual annuity for reach plane?
Answer:
1. If this is accepted the value of the company will increase by $27.0084 million.
2. The equivalent annual annuity for each plane:
Plane A = $2.973 million
Plane B = $4.586 million
Explanation:
1. Let's calculate Net Present Value (NPV) for Plane A:
Initial investment = $100 million
Annual cash flows = $30 million per year
Cost of capital = 11%
n = 5 years
NPV = (Annual cash flows × PVIFA (Cost of capital, n) - Initial investment
where PVIFa is Present Value Interest Factor
NPV = (30 million ×PVIFA (11%, 5) - 100 million
NPV = (30 million × 3.659) - 100 million
NPV = $10.877 million
Let's calculate Net Present Value (NPV) for Plane B:
Initial investment = $132 million
Annual cash flows = $27 million per year
Cost of capital = 11%
n = 10 years
NPV = (Annual cash flows × PVIFA (Cost of capital, n) - Initial investment
where PVIFa is Present Value Interest Factor
NPV = ($27 million ×PVIFA (11%, 10) - $132 million
NPV = ($27 million × 5.8892) - $132 million
NPV = $27.0084 million
In conclusion, the better project is Plane B as it has a higher net present value. If this is accepted the value of the company will increase by $27.0084 million.
2. equivalent annual annuity = NPV/ Present Value Annuity Factor
For Plane A:
equivalent annual annuity = NPV/ Present Value Annuity Factor ( 11%, 5)
equivalent annual annuity = $10.877 million/ 3.659
equivalent annual annuity = $2.973 million
The equivalent annual annuity for plane A is $2.973 million
For Plane B:
equivalent annual annuity = NPV/ Present Value Annuity Factor ( 11%, 10)
equivalent annual annuity = $27.0084 million/5.8892
equivalent annual annuity = $4.586 million
The equivalent annual annuity for plane B is $4.586 million
1. Peter's Audio Shop has a before-tax cost of debt of 7%, a cost of equity of 11%, and a cost of preferred stock of 8%. The firm has 104,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $20 a share. There are 40,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a market price of $34 a share. The bond issue has a total face value of $500,000 and sells at 102% of face value. The tax rate is 34%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Peter's Audio Shop?
Answer:
9.14%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below:-
Debt = $500,000 × 1.02
= $0.51 m
Preferred = 40,000 × $34
= $1.36 m
Common = 104,000 × $20
= $2.08 m
Total = $0.51 m + $1.36 m + $2.08 m
= $3.95 m
So, Weighted average cost of capital = ($2.08 ÷ $3.95 m × 0.11) + ($1.36 m ÷ $3.95 m × 0.08) + (($0.51 m ÷ 3.95 m × 0.07 × (1 - 0.34))
= 0.057924 + 0.027544 + 0.005965
= 0.091433
or 9.14%
Therefore for computing the weighted average cost of capital we simply applied the above equation.
