Answer:
D) firms whose average private cost is less than price will stay in (or enter) the dry cleaning
industry even though their average social cost exceeds price.
Explanation:
When there is pollution as a result of the daily business, then it involves a huge social cost, as you cause harm to public.
But company's do not consider it in making the decision for business, as it generally do not impact the business in financial matters.
As even if the average cost is less then revenue the profit will be there to run the business.
But till the moment the financial impact is not strong of the social cost the pollution will not affect.
Esquire Clothing is a manufacturer of designer suits. The cost of each suit is the sum of three variable costs (direct material costs, direct manufacturing labor costs, and manufacturing overhead costs) and one fixed-cost category (manufacturing overhead costs). Variable manufacturing overhead cost is allocated to each suit on the basis of budgeted direct manufacturing labor-hours per suit. For June 2017, each suit is budgeted to take 4 labor-hours. Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead cost per labor-hour is $12. The budgeted number of suits to be manufactured in June 2017 is 1,040. Actual variable manufacturing costs in June 2017 were $52,164 for 1,080 suits started and completed. There were no beginning or ending inventories of suits. Actual direct manufacturing labor-hours for June were 4,536.Compute the flexible- budget variance, the spending variance, and the efficiency variance for variable manufacturing overhead.
Answer:
(i) $328 Unfavorable
(ii) $2,268 Favorable
(iii) $2,592 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Total budgeted hours for actual output (SH):
= Actual units × Budgeted hours per suite
= 1,080 suits × 4 hours
= 4,320 hours
Actual variable overhead rate (AR) = Actual cost ÷ Actual hours
= $52,164 ÷ 4,536
= $11.5 per hour
Variable overhead spending variance:
= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours
= ($12 - $11.5) × 4,536
= $2,268 Favorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance:
= (Standard hours - Actual hours) × Standard rate
= (4,320 - 4,536) × $12
= $2,592 Unfavorable
Flexible- budget variance:
= variable overhead spending variance + Variable overhead efficiency variance
= $2,268 Favorable + $2,592 Unfavorable
= $328 Unfavorable
a. The flexible- budget variance is $324 Unfavorable.
b. The spending variance is $2,268 Favorable.
c. The efficiency variance for variable manufacturing overhead is $2,592 Unfavorable.
Flexible- budget varianceSpending variance:
Total budgeted hours for actual output (SH)= Actual units × Budgeted hours per suite
Total budgeted hours for actual output (SH)= 1,080 suits × 4 hours
Total budgeted hours for actual output (SH)= 4,320 hours
Actual variable overhead rate (AR) = Actual cost ÷ Actual hour
Actual variable overhead rate (AR)= $52,164 ÷ 4,536
Actual variable overhead rate (AR)= $11.5 per hour
Variable overhead spending variance= (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hours
Variable overhead spending variance= ($12 - $11.5) × 4,536
Variable overhead spending variance=$2,268 Favorable
Efficiency variance:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard hours - Actual hours) × Standard rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (4,320 - 4,536) × $12
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $2,592 Unfavorable
Flexible- budget variance:
Flexible- budget variance= variable overhead spending variance + Variable overhead efficiency variance
Flexible- budget variance= $2,268 Favorable + $2,592 Unfavorable
Flexible- budget variance= $324 Unfavorable
Inconclusion the flexible- budget variance is $324 Unfavorable.

Suppose that two firms, A and B, are considering the same project. The project is in the same risk class as firm A's overall operations. The project has an IRR of 13.0 percent. Firm A has a beta of 1.2, while firm B's beta is 0.9. The risk-free rate is 4.5 percent and the market risk premium is 7.0 percent. Which firm(s) should accept the project?A) firm A onlyB) firm B onlyC) both firms A and BD) neither firm A nor BE) The answer cannot be determined without more information.
Answer:
Firm A should accept the project beacause it has high required rate of return which means low risk involved.
Explanation:
Rate of return = risk free return + Beta ( market risk premium)
Firm A
rate of return = 0.045 + 1.2 (0.07)
= 0.045 + 0.084
= 12.9%
Firm B ;
rate of return = 0.045 + 0.9(0.07)
= 0.045 + 0.063
= 10.8%
Quanti Co., a calendar-year taxpayer, purchased small tools for $5,000 on December 21, Year 1, representing the company’s only purchase of tangible personal property that took place during Year 1. Assume Quanti Co. does not want to take §179 or bonus depreciation on the tools. On its Year 1 tax return, how many months of MACRS depreciation may Quanti Co. claim on the tools?
1. one month
2. none
3. one and a half month
4. six months.
Answer: Option A is the right answer
Explanation: Evidences in most cases has shown that MACRS is all about applying convention for one and a half year on assets. So when an entities owns 35-40% of an asset in forth quarter, Mid quarter convention will be applied for only one half of the last quarter, logically one and half month in the last quarter.
everly Company has determined a standard variable overhead rate of $2.75 per direct labor hour and expects to incur 1.0 labor hour per unit produced. Last month, Beverly incurred 1,100 actual direct labor hours in the production of 1,200 units. The company has also determined that its actual variable overhead rate is $2.70 per direct labor hour.
Calculate the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances also indicate if the variable are favorable or unfavorable the total amount of over- or underapplied variable overhead. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable.)
Variable Overhead Rate Variance
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead
Answer:
Variable Overhead Rate Variance - $55 favorable
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance - $275 favorable
Over applied efficiency variance - $330 favorable
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual Hours × (Actual Rate - Standard variable overhead Rate)
= 1,100 hours × ($2.70 - 2.75)
= $55 favorable
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard variable overhead Rate × (Actual Hours - Standard Hours)
= $2.75 × (1,100 hours - 1 × 1,200)
= $275 favorable
So, the over-applied variable overhead would be
= $55 favorable + $275 favorable
= $330 favorable
Phil takes out a loan of $100,000 to be repaid in 360 monthly installments. You are given that the first payment will be one month after the inception of the loan and that the e↵ective annual rate of interest is 10%. Determine which payment will be the first where the amount of principal paid is more than two-thirds the amount of the interest paid.
Answer:
246
Explanation:
Please see attachment .
Final answer:
To find when the principal exceeds two-thirds of the interest on Phil's $100,000 loan, an amortization schedule must be created. Initially, more of the monthly payment goes to interest, but the principal portion grows over time. The schedule reveals when the principal paid first exceeds two-thirds of the interest for a monthly payment of approximately $599.55.
Explanation:
When Phil takes out a loan of $100,000 to be repaid in 360 monthly installments with an effective annual interest rate of 10%, we need to determine which payment will be the first where the amount of principal paid exceeds two-thirds of the interest paid that month. To find this, we must understand how the monthly payments are calculated and how each payment is split between principal and interest over time.
Firstly, the monthly payment is calculated using the formula for the present value of an annuity:
M = P [i / [tex](1 - (1 + i)^{(-n))[/tex]] where P is the principal amount, i is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of payments. With an effective annual rate of 10%, the monthly rate i is 0.1/12, since interest is compounded monthly.
For the given scenario, the monthly payment amount is calculated as follows:
$100,000 ×[0.1/12 / (1 - [tex](1 + 0.1/12)^{(-360))[/tex]] which simplifies to approximately $599.55 per month.
Over the tenure of the loan, initially, more of the monthly payment goes towards the interest than the principal. As time goes on, the principal portion increases while the interest portion decreases. The payment schedule needs to be examined to find the first payment where the principal is more than two-thirds of the interest.
This involves creating an amortization schedule that shows the distribution of each payment into interest and principal components. The search through this schedule will reveal the exact payment where the principal exceeds two-thirds of the interest for the first time.

Seashell Corporation has 25,000 shares outstanding of 8 percent, $10 par value, cumulative preferred stock. In 2009 and 2010, no dividends were declared on preferred stock. In 2011, Seashell had a profitable year and decided to pay dividends to stockholders of both preferred and common stock. If Seashell has $200,000 available for dividends in 2011, how much could it pay to the common stockholders?
Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
For computing the dividend to the common stockholders, first we have to find out the yearly dividend which is shown below:
= Number of shares × par value per share × dividend rate
= 25,000 shares × $10 × 8%
= $20,000
Dividend paid in 2011 would be
= 2009 dividend + 2010 dividend + 2011 dividend
= $20,000 + $20,000 + $20,000
= $60,000
Out of $2000,000, the $60,000 will be paid to preference stockholders and the remaining $140,000 will be paid to equity stockholders

While attending a convention, Noah spoke with Amy, a sales representative from an alternative energy company, who insisted that fuel cell technology is the solution to the world's energy problems. At home, Noah read through the literature she gave him, and acknowledged that the material was interesting. However, he still wasn't certain that she was right about fuel cells. What should Noah do to decide whether he agrees with Amy's argument?
Answer:
This question lacks answers, here they are:
a. Go with his gut feeling
b. Accept that Amy knows more about the topic than he does
c. Keep looking for more evidence
d. Dismiss Amy's argument because she is trying to sell something
The answer is c.
Explanation:
In this kind of argument-fueled debate, it is essential to constantly have arguments up to your sleeve.
In this example, Amy has a robust base for her point of view (the literature). Since Noah acknowledged that, he has to provide his own argument basis (evidence). Otherwise, stating his point of view without it cannot be taken seriously in this kind of conversation.
With every side delivering a new amount of arguments, the other side should have appropriate arguments to defend a particular point of view, as it both feeds the debate and protects one's image at industry events like conventions, meetups...
The outcome of the argument-intensive debate is always a strong opinion, reflecting the pluses and minuses of the topic at hand.

A start-up will not pay any dividends for 3 years. At the end of the third year, it is expected to pay a dividend of $0.30. This dividend should then grow at a rate of 12% for 6 years, and at a reduced rate of 6% thereafter. The market required rate of return for similar high growth start-up companies is 16%. Estimate the price of the company's shares today.
Answer:
The price of share at today is $1.724.
Explanation:
- First, calculate the present value of the estimated value of the dividend stream from end of Y3 to end of Y9 using growing annuity formula:
[0.3/ ( 0.16 -0.12)] x [ 1 - [ (1+0.12)/(1+0.16) ] ^6 ] x (1/1.16^2) = $1.058
- Second, calculate the Dividend receipt at the end of year 10 which is 0.3 x 1.12^6 x 0.94 = $0.557
- Calculate the present value of the dividend stream after Y9 which is a perpetuity:
[ 0.557/ ( 0.16 - (-0.06) ] x (1/1.16^9) = $0.666
- The stock price is equal to the sum of the present value of the two dividend streams calculated above = 1.058 + 0.666 = $1.724.

Inflation rate___________ %
c. What do you estimate the inflation rate to be in Taiwan, if short-term Taiwanese government securities yield 10 percent per year? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place, e.g., 32.1.)
Inflation rate_________ %
Answer:
(a) 8.47%
(b) 11.45%
(c) 9.46%
Explanation:
International Fisher effect is as follows:
[tex]\frac{1+ih}{1+if}=\frac{1+ph}{1+pf}[/tex]
where,
ih = Nominal interest rate of home country
if = Nominal interest rate of foreign country
ph = Inflation rate of home country
pf = Inflation rate of foreign country
(a) Inflation rate to be in Australia, if the short-term Australian government securities yield 9% per year,
[tex]\frac{1+ih}{1+if}=\frac{1+ph}{1+pf}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.019}{1.09}=\frac{1.014}{1+pf}[/tex]
1 + pf = 1.0847
pf = 1.0847 - 1
= 0.0847 or 8.47%
Therefore, the inflation rate in Australia is 8.47%.
(b) Inflation rate to be in Canada, if short-term Canadian government securities yield 12 percent per year,
[tex]\frac{1+ih}{1+if}=\frac{1+ph}{1+pf}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.019}{1.12}=\frac{1.014}{1+pf}[/tex]
1 + pf = 1.1145
pf = 1.1145 - 1
= 0.1145 or 11.45%
Therefore, the inflation rate in Canada is 11.45%.
(c) Inflation rate to be in Taiwan, if short-term Taiwanese government securities yield 10 percent per year,
[tex]\frac{1+ih}{1+if}=\frac{1+ph}{1+pf}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.019}{1.1}=\frac{1.014}{1+pf}[/tex]
1 + pf = 1.0946
pf = 1.0946 - 1
= 0.0946 or 9.46%
Therefore, the inflation rate in Taiwan is 9.46%.

7. Debt Irrelevance. Digital Fruit is financed solely by common stock and has outstanding 25 million shares with a market price of $10 a share. It now announces that it intends to issue $160 million of debt and to use the proceeds to buy back common stock. There are no taxes. (LO16-1) a. What is the expected market price of the common stock after the announcement? b. How many shares can the company buy back with the $160 million of new debt that it will issue? c. What is the market value of the firm (equity plus debt) after the change in capital structure? d. What is the debt ratio after the change in capital structure?
Answer:
a. $10 per share
b. 16 million shares
c. $250 million
d. 64%
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
a. The expected market price of the common stock is same as given in the question i.e $10 per share
b. The buy back shares would be
= New debt value ÷ market price per share
= $160 million ÷ $10
= 16 million shares
c. The market value of the firm would be
= (Outstanding shares - buy back shares) × market price per share + debt value
= (25 million shares - 16 million shares) × $10 + $160 million
= $90 million + $1260 million
= $250 million
d. The debt ratio would be
= Debt value ÷ market value of the firm
= $160 million ÷ 250 million
= 64%
On November 19, Nicholson Company receives a $24,600, 60-day, 10% note from a customer as payment on account. What adjusting entry should be made on the December 31 year-end? (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
Explanation:
The adjusting entry is shown below:
Interest expense A/c Dr $287
To Interest payable A/c $287
(Being accrued interest adjusted)
The computation is shown below:
Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of days in a year)
= $24,600 × 10% × (42 days ÷ 360 days)
= $287
( 11 days in November + 31 Days in December)
To make the correct adjusting entry for Nicholson Company's year-end on December 31 for a $24,600, 60-day, 10% note, calculate the interest accrued from November 19 to December 31 at a daily rate derived from the annual rate. The interest amount is $287.54, which is recorded as debit to Interest Receivable and credit to Interest Revenue.
Explanation:On November 19, Nicholson Company receives a $24,600, 60-day, 10% note from a customer as payment on account. To calculate the adjusting entry for the year-end on December 31, we need to recognize the interest that has accrued on the note from the date of receipt until the year-end. Given that the year is considered to have 360 days for simplicity in interest calculations, we prorate the annual interest rate to find the interest for the period in question.
To find the interest accrued:
First, calculate the daily interest rate: 10% per year = 0.10 / 360 days = 0.00027778 per dayThen, calculate the number of days from November 19 to December 31. This is 42 days (assuming November has 30 days).Finally, the interest accrued: $24,600 * 0.00027778 * 42 days = $287.54The adjusting entry on December 31 will be:
Debit Interest Receivable for $287.54Credit Interest Revenue for $287.54This entry reflects the interest income earned by Nicholson Company during the year that has not been received in cash, thus adhering to the accrual basis of accounting.

Keller Cosmetics maintains an operating profit margin of 7% and asset turnover ratio of 4.
a. What is its ROA? (Enter your answer as a whole percent.)
b. If its debt-equity ratio is 1, its interest payments and taxes are each $8,200, and EBIT is $21,000, what is its ROE? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a whole percent.)
Answer:
a) 28%
b) 56%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Operating profit margin = 7%
Asset turnover ratio = 4
Now,
a) ROA = Profit margin × Asset turnover ratio
= 7% × 4
= 28%
b) Given:
Debt-equity ratio = 1
Interest payments = $8,200
Taxes = $8,200
EBIT = $21,000
Now,
Total assets = Net income ÷ ROA
Also,
Net income = EBIT - tax - interest
= $21,000 - $8,200 - $8,200
= $4,600
Thus,
Total assets = $4,600 ÷ 28%
= $16428.57
also,
Total assets = Debt + Equity
or
Total assets = Equity × ([tex]\frac{\textup{Debt}}{\textup{Equity}}+1[/tex] )
or
$16428.57 = Equity × ( 1 + 1 )
or
=> Equity = $8214.28
Therefore,
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
= $4,600 ÷ $8214.28
= 56%
If a corporation operates two divisions that supply one another, and each division is located in a different country, then transfer prices are: ___.
Answer:
The correct answer is: set to allocate profit to the low tax rate country.
Explanation:
Transfer pricing is the amount the one division of a company charges another for goods or services provided. Those divisions could be subsidiaries or affiliates of the same organization. To obtain the highest level of profit possible, firms tend to establish their divisions in low tax rate countries so they transfer price is the lowest available.

Novak Corp. redeemed $134,000 face value, 10% bonds on April 30, 2022, at 103. The carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date was $121,002. The bonds pay annual interest, and the interest payment due on April 30, 2022, has been made and recorded. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
bonds payable 134,000 debit
loss on redemption 17,018 debit
cash 138,020 credit
discount on bonds payabke 12,998 credit
Explanation:
redemption disbursement:
face value x redemption quote
134,000 x 103/100 = 138,020
carrying value: 121,002
loss at redemption 17,018
We are using 138,020 cash(asset) to pay a liability for 121,002
discount/premium on the bonds:
face value 134,000
carrying value 121,002
discount: 12,998
In the journal entry we must write-off the bond payable and the discount. Then, declare the loss at redemption and the cash used.
Novak Corp made a loss of $17,018 in the early redemption of the bonds due to paying out more than the carrying value. This example illustrates how bond redemption works in financial accounting, where the principles of present value and interest rate effect are significant in bond pricing calculations.
Explanation:Novak Corp. redeemed its bonds that had a face value of $134,000 at an early redemption price of 103% of the face value. This would mean that Novak paid out $138,020 (134,000 x 1.03) to redeem the bonds. However, the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date was $121,002. Subtracting the carrying value from the redemption value, Novak incurs a loss of $17,018 due to the early redemption ($138,020-$121,002). This is an application of bond redemption, a concept in financial accounting.
Similar to the explanation in a bond value calculation, where a $3,000 bond, issued at 8% would essentially have the same value to both the borrower and lender, Novak Corp's bond redemption underscores the principles of present value and interest rate effect in bond pricing calculations.

Perpetuities Suppose that today's date is January 1,2019. You have the opportunity to make an investment that will pay you $100 on January 1 of every year, starting in 2020 and continuing forever.
Assume the relevant discount rate is 7%.
a. What would you pay now for this investment?
b. Suppose the investment's first cash flow comes immediately, on January 1,2019, P5-27 with subsequent cash payments every January 1 thereafter. Now how much would you pay? It might be helpful to draw the first few years of a timeline here and compare it to the situation in part a.
c. Suppose the investment's first cash flow is 3 years from now, on January 1, 2022. On every January 1 thereafter you will receive $100. How much is this worth to you today, January 1, 2019?
Answer:
a) Value of a perpetuity =$1,428.57
b) Present value of perpetuity due will include extra cash flow received at start: =$1,528.57
c) Present value = 1428.57/(1.07^2)=$1,247.77
Explanation:
a) Value of a perpetuity = Cash flow/rate=100/0.07=$1,428.57
b) Present value of perpetuity due will include extra cash flow received at start:
=Cash flow/rate+Cash flow=100+(100/0.07)=$1,528.57
c) This will be equal to PV of perpetuity at end of year 2=100/0.07=$1428.57 after 2 years
Present value = 1428.57/(1.07^2)=$1,247.77
Final answer:
The present value of receiving an annual payment of $100 starting in 2020 in perpetuity at a 7% discount rate is $1,428.57. If the first payment is immediate, the value is higher at $1,528.57. Receiving the first payment in 2022 has a present value today of $1,165.96.
Explanation:
To calculate the present value of a perpetuity (an infinite series of cash flows), we use the perpetuity formula: Present Value (PV) = Payment (PMT) / Discount Rate (r). For an investment that pays $100 each year in perpetuity, starting in 2020, and with a discount rate of 7%, the present value calculation would be:
PV = $100 / 0.07 = $1,428.57
This represents the sum a rational investor would be willing to pay for receiving $100 annually, starting a year from now, indefinitely.
In the case where the first $100 payment comes immediately on January 1, 2019, we add the immediate payment to the present value of the perpetuity:
PV = $100 + ($100 / 0.07) = $100 + $1,428.57 = $1,528.57
Finally, if the investment's first cash flow is to be received in 3 years (on January 1, 2022), we have to discount the perpetuity value back 3 years using the discount rate:
PV = ($100 / 0.07) / (1 + 0.07)^3 = $1,428.57 / 1.225043 = $1,165.96
So, today's value of receiving $100 each year, starting three years from now infinitely, is approximately $1,165.96.
Good credit: The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 300 to 850, with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is more than the cutoff of 720. She finds that a random sample of 100 people had a mean FICO score of 737 with a standard deviation of 92. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 720? Use the =α0.01 level of significance and the critical value method.
The one-sample t-test can be used to test if the mean FICO score is more than 720. We calculate a t statistic and compare it to a critical value at a 0.01 significance level. We reject H0 if our statistic is greater than the critical value, concluding that the mean score is greater than 720.
Explanation:In this case, the economist can use a one-sample t-test to determine if the mean FICO score of the population is greater than 720. The null hypothesis (H0) is that the population mean is 720, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that the population mean is greater than 720.
First, we need to calculate the t statistic using the formula: t = (Xbar - μ) / (s/√n), where Xbar is the sample mean (737), μ is the population mean under the null hypothesis (720), s is the sample standard deviation (92), and n is the sample size (100).
After calculating, we would compare this t statistic with the t critical value at α = 0.01 level of significance. If the calculated t is greater than the critical value, then we would reject H0 and conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 720. If it's less than or equal to the critical value, we would fail to reject H0, meaning we would have insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean score is more than 720.

Final answer:
To determine if the mean FICO score is greater than 720, a hypothesis test is conducted using the critical value method. The test statistic is calculated and compared to the critical value at the α = 0.01 level of significance. Based on the calculations, the economist cannot conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 720.
Explanation:
To determine whether the mean FICO score is greater than 720, we can perform a hypothesis test using the critical value method. The null hypothesis (H0) is that the mean FICO score is equal to or less than 720, while the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is that the mean FICO score is greater than 720. Using the given information, we calculate the test statistic as follows:
test statistic = (sample mean - hypothesized mean) / (standard deviation/sqrt (sample size))
Plugging in the values, we get: test statistic = (737 - 720) / (92 / sqrt(100)) = 1.847
Next, we find the critical value at the α = 0.01 level of significance. Since this is a one-tailed test and the sample size is large (n ≥ 30), we can use the normal distribution. The critical value for α = 0.01 is Z = 2.33.
Since the test statistic (1.847) is less than the critical value (2.33), we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the economist cannot conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 720 at the α = 0.01 level of significance.

Explanation:
Please see attachment.
The conventional retail inventory method calculates the ending inventory value by applying the markup or markdown percentages to the retail value of the goods. To compute the inventory using this method, we need to start with the beginning inventory at retail and cost, add the net purchases and net markups, and subtract the markdowns and markdown cancellations.

Vandelay Industries is considering the purchase of a new machine for the production of latex. Machine A costs $3,130,000 and will last for six years. Variable costs are 35 percent of sales, and fixed costs are $270,000 per year. Machine B costs $5,351,000 and will last for nine years. Variable costs for this machine are 30 percent of sales and fixed costs are $200,000 per year. The sales for each machine will be $11.6 million per year. The required return is 8 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent. Both machines will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The company plans to replace the machine when it wears out on a perpetual basis. Calculate the EAC for each machine. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
The equivalent annual cost (EAC) for Machine A is -$191,929.34 and for Machine B is -$162,787.02. Hence, Machine B is more cost-effective despite its higher initial cost due to having a lower EAC.
Explanation:To calculate the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of each machine, we need to first calculate their respective net present values (NPV) and then spread this cost over the life of the machine.
For Machine A, the depreciation per year is $3,130,000 / 6 = $521,666.67. After-tax operating profit each year would be: ($11,600,000 - $4,060,000 (variable cost) - $270,000 (fixed cost) - $521,666.67 (depreciation)) * (1 - 0.21) = $4,809,083.33. The tax shield provided by the depreciation would be $521,666.67 * 0.21 = $109,550. Now, we find the NPV of these cash flows for 6 years, minus the initial cost of the machine. Using an 8% discount rate, this comes out to -$879,016.04. Spreading this over 6 years gives an EAC of -879,016.04 / (1 - (1 + 0.08)^-6) / 0.08) = -$191,929.34.
Since the calculations for the NPV and EAC of Machine B follow the same steps, we only replace the respective values. The EAC of Machine B comes out to be -$162,787.02. Therefore, despite the higher initial cost, Machine B is the more cost-effective choice because it has a lower equivalent annual cost.

The Sedgwick Company estimates sales of a new product at 5,000 units and $3.00 per unit. Management feels the sales quantity is accurate within a 10 percent plus-or-minus range while the sales price is accurate within a 5 percent plus-or-minus range. What dollar amount should the company use for total sales in their worst-case scenario analysis of this product?A) $12,150B) $12,825C) $13,500D) $14,250E) $15,000
Answer:
B) $12,825
Explanation:
In order to calculate the worst case scenario of sales first we need to calculate the worst case for sales of units.
The Company estimates that 5,000 units will be sold with a 10 percent plus-or-minus range. So, let calculate the worst case for the sale of units, in this case being 90% of the 5,000 unit estimate. Calculate 90% of 5,000, and this gives us 4,500 units as the worst case scenario.
To calculate the the worst case scenario for price, lets use the $3.00 per unit estimated by the Company, and apply the same concept, however, taking into account that sales price has a 5 percent plus-or minus range. So we caclulate %95 of $3.00, and this gives us $2.85 as our worst case scenario for price.
Now, we take our worst case scenario for amount of units and price:
4,500 units x $2.85 = $12,825
$12,825 is the total dollar amount for the worst case scenario of this product.
Marigold Corp. sells two types of computer hard drives. The sales mix is 30% (Q-Drive) and 70% (Q-Drive Plus). Q-Drive has variable costs per unit of $120 and a selling price of $180. Q-Drive Plus has variable costs per unit of $135 and a selling price of $225. The weighted-average unit contribution margin for Marigold is
(A) $81.
(B) $180.
(C) $69.
(D) $90.
Answer:
(A) $81
Explanation:
Sales mix: 30% QD and 70% QD+.
QD Variable costs per unit = $120
QD selling price = $180
QD+ Variable costs per unit = $135
QD+ selling price = $225
The unit contribution for the Q-Drive is:
[tex]U_{QD} = 180-120 = \$ 60[/tex]
The unit contribution for the Q-Drive+ is:
[tex]U_{QD+} = 225-130 = \$ 90[/tex]
The weighted-average unit contribution margin for Marigold is
[tex]UC= (0.3*U_{QD})+(0.7*U_{QD+})\\UC= (0.3*60)+(0.7*90)\\UC =\$ 81[/tex]
The answer is (A) $81.
