A company distributes a product that sells for $50 per unit. Variable expenses are $10 per unit, and fixed expenses total $15,000 annually. Assume that the company sold 4,000 units last year. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $30,000 increase in advertising expenditures, would increase annual unit sales by 50%. If these changes were made, by how much would net operating income increase or decrease?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Income will increase by $20,000.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the current income:

Current income= 4,000*(50 - 10) - 15,000= $145,000

Now, the new selling price, fixed costs, and sales in units:

Selling price= 50*0.9= $45

Fixed costs= $45,000

Sales= 4,000*1.5= 6,000

New income= 6,000*(45 - 10) - 45,000= $165,000

Difference= 165,000 - 145,000= 20,000

Income will increase by $20,000.

Answers

Answer:

(A) 20.54

(B) 24.46

(C) 30.88

Explanation:

(A) The current stock price can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)/0.08

=1.643/0.08

= 20.54

(B) The stock price after 3 years can be calculated as follows

Po = 1.55(1+6/100)^4/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^4/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^4/0.08

= 1.55(1.2624)/0.08

= 1.9567/0.08

= 24.46

(C) The stock price after 7 years can be calculated as follows

Po= 1.55(1+6/100)^8/(14/100-6/100)

= 1.55(1+0.06)^8/(0.14-0.06)

= 1.55(1.06)^8/(0.08)

= 1.55(1.5938)/0.08

= 2.470/0.08

= 30.88

At the end of the current year, Leer Company reported total liabilities of $319,000 and total equity of $119,000. The company's debt ratio on the last year-end was:___________.
a. 72.8%.
b. 268%.
c. 3-68%.
d. 37.3%.
e. $438,000

Answers

Answer:

72.8%

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the total assets

Total assets= Total liabilities + total equity

= $319,000 + $119,000

= $438,000

Therefore the debt ratio can be calculated as follows

= Total liabilities/total assets

= $319,000/$438,000

= 0.728×100

= 72.8%

How much must you deposit in a bank account today to have $1,000 at the end of 5 years if the bank quotes a rate of 5%, compounded daily? Assume a 365-day year and round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

PV= $774.54

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value= $1,000

Number of periods= 5*365= 1,825 days

Interest rate= 0.05/365= 0.00014

To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV / (1+i)^n

PV= 1,000 / (1.00014^1,825)

PV= $774.54

Rufus Inc. and Hardy Company are negotiating a nontaxable exchange of business properties. Rufus’s property has a $50,000 tax basis and a $77,500 FMV. Hardy’s property has a $60,000 tax basis and a $90,000 FMV. Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work? How much boot must be paid? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?

Answers

Answer:

Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work?

Rufus must pay boot since the FMV of its property is less than the FMV of Hardy's property.

How much boot must be paid?

$90,000 - $77,500 = $12,500

Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired?

Rufus doesn't have any gain, and the tax basis for the new asset will be $50,000 + $12,500 = $62,500

Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?

Since Hardy's property basis is $60,000 and it would be receiving $50,000 (Rufus's property) + $12,500 = $62,500, then it must recognize a $2,500 gain. The basis of Hardy's new property will be $62,500.

Dorchester Company had the following balances at the end of 2018 and 2019 respectively: Net Credit Sales - $875,000 for 2018 and $1,032,000 for 2019. Accounts Receivable - $84,000 for 2018 and $107,000 for 2019. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - $4,000 for 2018 and 7,500 for 2019 Calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = 11.50 times

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio  is calculated using

Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

Net Credit Sales for 2019 =  $1,032,000

Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 = Accounts Receivable in 2018 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2018

= $84,000 - $4,000

= $80,000

Net Accounts Receivable in 2019 = Accounts Receivable in 2019 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2019

= $107,000 - $7,500

= $99,500

Average Accounts Receivable = (Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 + Net Accounts Receivable in 2019) / 2

= ($80,000 + $99,500) / 2

= $179,500 / 2

= $89,750

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales in 2019 / Average Accounts Receivable

=   $1,032,000/ $89,750

= 11.498

= 11.50 times

Explanation:

If the interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%, what is the future value of $1 after 2 years? What is the present value of a payment of $1 to be received in 2 years?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The interest rate this year is 8.8% and the interest rate next year will be 10.8%.

a) To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV1= 1*1.088= 1.088

FV2= 1.088*1.108=$1.206

b) To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

PV=FV/(1+i)^n

PV2= 1/1.108= 0.903

PV1= 0.903/1.088= $0.83

Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,500 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,300. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $113,000 and receive $21,300 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,300 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:

Answers

Answer:

($18,500)

Explanation:

Book value of manufacturing equipment = $36,500

Current market value of equipment = $21,300

Cost of new machine = $113,000

Cash received from trading old machine = $21,300

Variable manufacturing costs of new machine reduced by $18,300 per year, over the four year

Total increase/decrease in net income = Cost of new machine + Cash received from trading old machine + Reduction in variable manufacturing costs

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $18,300 × 4

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $73,200

= ($18,500)

It therefore means that the total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine is $18,500

= $27,200

Bad Debts for accounts receivable due for more than 180 days:

= $87,000 × 0.27

= $23,490

Ending balance of Allowance account:

= $3,800 + $10,800 + $27,200 + $23,490

What are the sources of brand equity?

Answers

Answer:

Ello, Imposter here

Explanation:

Brand equity is the commercial value that derives from consumer perception of the brand name of a particular product or service, rather than from the product or service itself.

hope this helps :P

Answer: According to Keller (2003) and his CBBE model, brand equity emerges from two sources namely brand awareness and brand image. According to this model, consumers build associations in their minds around a brand as the result of the marketing programs companies develop for their brands.

Explanation: None.

For most consumers, maximizing utility through consumption generally means finding good deals in order to maximize the utility received for each dollar spent. However, some makers of luxury goods believe that their customers actually achieve utility by paying high prices. As a result, lowering prices may lead to reduced sales for the makers of luxury goods. How is this counterintuitive concept rationalized by analysis of consumer behavior and the utility maximization rule

Answers

Answer:

The explanation of that situation is below.

Explanation:

To begin with, the most important factor to have in mind in the situation explained above is the fact that we are talking about a "luxury good" and therefore that when it comes to this type of goods is better when the majority of the people do not possess or at least they must represent the fact that they are exclusive for only some part of the population. That is why that those goods use the strategy of increase always the price because that will means that they are not affordable for the majority of the society but only for a few and that will give to the owner of the good a sense of uniqueness and with that it also comes the sense of superiority. That is why that when it comes to this type of good the analysis change and it collides with the other theory of utility maximation.

If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Multiple Choice Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. One asset increases $4,500 and another asset decreases $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Equity increases $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.

Answers

Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.

Explanation:

An asset are the properties which a business or an organization owns. An asset possess an economic value.

Since the equipment purchased is an asset, this will lead to an increase of assets by $4500 and since it was bought on credit and hasn't been paid for, liabilities will also increase by $4500.

On December 31, 2019, The Bates Company's revenue is $440,000 and expenses total $340,000 before consideration of the following: Accrued wages total $21,000; Accrued revenues total $56,000; Depreciation expense is $27,000; Rental revenue of $7,000 was earned; the rent from a tenant was initially recorded by Bates as unearned rent revenue; The income tax rate is 40% of income before income taxes. What is Bates' net income after consideration of the above information

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Revenue = $440,000

Expenses = $340000

Accrued wages = $21000

Accrued revenues = $56000

Depreciation exp = $27000

Rental value earned but not recorded = $7000

Income tax rate = 40%

Total revenue = 440000 +56000 + 7000 = $503000

Total expenses = 340000 + 21000 + 27000 = $388000

Income before tax = 503000 - 388000 = $115000

income tax = 115000 x .4 = $46000

Net income = 115000 - 46000 = $69000 .

"The fund is earning a low, but safe, 3% per year. The withdrawals will take place annually starting today. How soon will the fund be exhausted if Debbie withdraws $40,000 each year?"

Answers

Answer:

The question is missing the amount that Debbie's fund has, so I looked for similar questions and the number I found was $368,882.

we can use the present value of an annuity due formula to determine how long it will take Debbie to empty her account.

present value of annuity due = (payment / i) x {1 - [1 / (1 + i)ⁿ]} x (1 + i)

368,882 = (40,000 / 0.03) x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]} x (1 + 0.03)

368,882 = 1,333,333.33 x 1.03 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}

368,882 = 1,373,333.33 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}

1 - [1 / (1.03)ⁿ] = 368,882 / 1,373,333.33 = 0.268603398

1 - 0.268603398 = [1 / (1.03)ⁿ]

0.731396601 = 1 / (1.03)ⁿ

1.03ⁿ = 1 / 0.731396601 = 1.367247261

n = log 1.367247261 / log 1.03 = 0.135847062 / 0.012837224 = 10.58 years

Debbie will exhaust the fund in 10.58 years. That means that Debbie will be able to withdraw $40,000 for 10 years, and then the last withdrawal will be lower.

Q 20.27: Liberty Bicycles currently sells unassembled bikes for $240 each. The variable production costs for each bike are $35 and the fixed production costs are $72. Liberty is thinking about selling the bikes fully assembled for $300 each. The variable costs for assembling one bike will be $18 and the fixed costs will be $31. Given these figures, Liberty will increase its net income per unit by ________ if it opts to assemble the bikes.

Answers

Answer:

$11

Explanation:

Find the incremental effect on net income of assembling the bikes as follows :

Incremental analysis for assembling the bikes per unit

Sales ( $300 - $240)                    $60

Less incremental costs :

Variable costs                               ($18)

Fixed production costs                 ($31)

Incremental Income/(loss)              $11

Conclusion

Thus  Liberty will increase its net income per unit by $11  if it opts to assemble the bikes.

Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:

As  We know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory

And, the

Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold

So,

$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold

Therefore, the cost of goods sold is

= $107,000 - $32,100

= $74,900

And, finally the ending inventory is

$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory

$74,900 = $91,400  - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory is

= $91,400 - $74,900

= $16,500

Rode Company estimates bad debt expense at 1% of credit sales. The company reported accounts receivable of $100,000 and a pre-adjustment credit balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts account of $2,000 at the end of the current year. During the current year, Rode’s credit sales were $2,000,000. What is the amount of the company’s bad debt expense for the current year?

Answers

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of the company’s bad debt expense for the current year

Using this formula

Bad debt expense = Credit Sales Amount × Estimated percentage uncollectible

Let plug in the formula

Bad debt expense = $2,000,000 × 1%

Bad debt expense =$20,000

Therefore the amount of the company’s bad debt expense for the current year will be $20,000

to beter take into account the differential impact of fixed and variable costs, marketing managers canuse ____ pricing

Answers

Answer:

target return pricing

Explanation:

Target return pricing is a pricing method that uses a very simple formula:

target price = [unit cost + (desired return x capital)] /unit sales

The price is based on the ROI that the company expects from a certain product (or project).

Even though this is a fairly simple method for pricing a good or service, it can also have serious negative consequences:

it doesn't take in account consumers' tastes or preferenceswhat happens if the expected ROI is too high, that could kill a project that could have been successful otherwisethe time frames are not always exact, e.g. you believed that a project would last 5 years, but due to a technological breakthrough it only lasts 4

In order to successfully apply this type of pricing strategy, a company must be able to achieve or exceed their sales goals.

Relay Corporation manufactures batons. Relay can manufacture 300,000 batons a year at a variable cost of$750,000 and a fixed cost of $450,000. Based on Relay's predictions, 240,000 batons will be sold at the regular price of $5.00 each. In addition, a special order was placed for 60,000 batons to be sold at a 40% discount off the regular price. Required: By what amount would income before income taxes be increased or decreased as a result of the special order

Answers

Answer:

The total rise in income is $30,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Sale price     3     {5 × (1 - 0.40)

Less: Incremental cost  2.5   ($750,000 ÷ 300,000)

Increase in income per unit   0.50

Divide by Total units    60,000

Total increase in income   $30,000

Hence, the total rise in income is $30,000 and the same is to be considered

The total rise in income before tax is $30,000 as a result of a special offer when the Relay Corporation manufactures batons.

What is income?

Income is defined as the consumption and saving opportunity achieved by a commodity within a nominal time structure, which is commonly represented in monetary words. Income is challenging to describe conceptually, and the explanation may be further across areas.

Computation of change in income:

According to the given information,

Regular price = $5.

Discount Rate=40%

Then sales price would be:

[tex]\text{Sale Price}= \text{Regular Price}(1- \text{Discount Rate})\\\\\text{Sale Price}=\$5 \text (1 - 0.40)\\\\\text{Sale Price}= \$3[/tex]

Then the incremental cost is:

[tex]\text{Incremental Cost}=\dfrac{ \text{Variable Cost}}{\text{Units Produced}}\\\\ \text{Incremental Cost}=\dfrac{\$750,000}{\$300,000}\\\\ \text{Incremental Cost}=2.5[/tex]

Increase in income per unit:

[tex]\text{Increase In Income}=\text{Sales Price}- \text{Incremental Cost}\\\\\text{Increase In Income}=\$3-\$2.5\\\\\text{Increase In Income}=0.50[/tex]  

Therefore, the increase in income is :

[tex]=\text{Per unit Increase In Income}\times\text{Total Units}\\\\=0.50\times60,000\\\\=\$30,000[/tex]

Explain the risks associated with leveling resources, compressing or crashing projects, and imposed durations or "catch-up" as the project is being implemented. Why is it critical to develop a time-phased baseline? Subscribe to unlock

Answers

Answer:

Explain the risks associated with leveling resources, compressing or crashing projects, and imposed durations or "catch-up" as the project is being implemented.

a project manager will try to level resources in order to even out the use of resources throughout the whole project, but that can result in a deficit of resources during critical times.  E.g. trying to use 25% of resources during each year for a project that lasts 4 years. But some activities require a lot o resources but last a short time, while other activities might last longer and consume fewer resources. a project manager will try to compress a project's schedule because he/she wants to finish early, ideally without affecting the project's scope. The problem with compressing a project is that you might have to skip or eliminate certain activities in order to so so. E.g. a lot of pharmaceutical companies are trying to develop a vaccine that ends the current health crisis, and their rush are not following the appropriate steps. crashing activities refers to trying to finish some critical activity early by assigning more resources to it. The risks of crashing critical activities is that they might not be well done, or it might be too expensive.

Why is it critical to develop a time-phased baseline?

Without a well done time-phased baseline, it is very difficult to prepare a project schedule, or at least one that actually works. It is also important because it is very useful for cost control, and projects can easily go out of control and cost more than their budget.

How do you think Alden, from Situation 2, found out about Revinate? Given all the online companies that might help your business connect you with customers, how would you choose one?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the proper context of the question or further references, we can comment on the following.

Alden found out about Revinate by searching on the web trying to find the best software options that could help the company to identify the customer's reviews so Gregory E. Alden could make the best decisions for his company.

Gregory E. Alden is the manager of the company Woodside Hotels, located in Northern California. He was trying to monitor the comments of his high-class clients because Woodside Hotels is in the luxurious hotel business. So knowing that constantly monitoring client's comments on social media pages such as TripAdvisor or Yelp can be an arduous and difficult task, Gregory searched for the best software company to monitor client's comments on social media. That is how he found Revinate, a company that helps managers to track reviews so they can make the best business decisions once they have learned what their customers desire. And that is exactly what I would do to choose the kind of company to know about the preferences of my customers.

Speicher sells sports shoes and formal shoes. Sports shoes sell for $110 each and cost $50 in variable expenses to make. Formal shoes sell for $220 and cost $100 in variable expenses to make. Speicher’s fixed expenses are $50,000. If 35% of his revenues are from sports shoes, what is Speicher’s weighted average contribution margin ratio? Provide your answer in decimal form (i.e. 65.2% = 0.652) and to three decimal places. Do not round intermediary calculations.

Answers

Answer:

weighted contribution margin ratio = 0.545

Explanation:

contribution margin of sport shoes = $110 - $50 = $60

contribution margin ratio of sport shoes = $60 / $110 = 0.545454

contribution margin of formal shoes = $220 - $100 = $120

contribution margin ratio of sport shoes = $120 / $220 = 0.545454

35% of total revenues come from sport shoes

weighted contribution margin ratio (it is the same for both products) = 0.545454 = 0.545

Answers

Answer:

decrease

increase

structural unemployment

Improving a widely used job-search website so that it matches workers to job vacancies more effectively

Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies

Explanation:

If the world price of steel falls, the profits that can be earned from producing steel would fall. This would make steel-producing firms cutback on production. If they do this, they would lead less labour, so the demand for labour would fall.

The decrease in the price of steel would make purchasing steel by automobile companies cheaper. This would lead to a rise in production and as a result an increase in the demand for labour.

Structural unemployment occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of labour and the jobs available.  Measures taken to increase information on available jobs would reduce this type of unemployment

Troy, a cash basis taxpayer, owns an office building. His records reflect the following for 20X1. On March 1, 20X1, office B was leased for twelve months for $12,000. A $900 security deposit was received which will be used as the last month's rent. On September 30, 20X1, the tenant in office A paid Troy $3,600 to cancel the lease expiring on March 31, 20X1. The lease of the tenant in office C expired on December 31, 20X1, and the tenant left improvements valued at $1,400. The improvements were not in lieu of any required rent. Considering just these four amounts, what amount must Troy include in rental income on his income tax return for 20X1?
a. $17,900
b. $17,000
c. $16,500
d. $13,800

Answers

Answer:

c. $16,500

Explanation:

The rental revenue from office B must be included even though 3 months of rent belong to 20x2 = $12,000 + the $900 security deposit (last moth of rent). The $3,600 received for canceling the lease of office A should also be included. Total rental income = $12,000 + $900 + $3,600 = $16,500.

Cash basis taxpayers recognize revenue when they collect money, and recognize expenses when they pay for them. There are some exceptions that apply to prepaid expenses or unearned revenue. This is known as the 12 month rule. It means that if the cash collection or payment do not extend for more than 12 months after they were made, then they can be recorded as either revenues or expenses during the current period. Since the rent was prepaid in advance for 12 months, then all the cash received must be considered revenue.
