Answer:
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $60
Variable costs are $30 per unit
Fixed costs total $120,000.
Desired profit= $300,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 300,000) / 30
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
Mr Store who runs his photocopy business working 8 hours per day process 100 scripts. He estimates his labour cost to be € 9 per hour. Also he has estimated that the total material cost for each script is approximately € 2; while the daily expenses are €28. Calculate the multifactor productivity. In an effort to increase the rate of the photocopy process to 150 scripts, he decides to change the quality of ink thus raising the mate- rial cost to € 2.5 per day. Is the new productivity better than before? If Mr Store would like to increase the photocopy process to 150 scripts without sacrificing the initial multifactor productivity, by what amount has the material costs to be increased?
Answer:
A) 0.33 scripts per euro
B) The new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C) 0.333 euros per script
Explanation:
number of hours worked per day = 8
number of scripts processed per day = 100
Labor cost per hour = 9 euros
Total labor cost per day = 9 * 8 = 72 euros
material cost per script = 2 euros
Total material cost per day = 2 * 100 = 200 euros
daily expenses = 28 euros
A) Calculate the multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = ( 72 + 200 + 28 ) = 300
= 100 / 300
= 0.33 scripts per euro
B ) compare the old and new productivity
Old productivity = 0.33 scripts / euro
new multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = (8*9)+(150*2.5)+28 = 475
= 150 / 475
= 0.3158 scripts per euro
hence the new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C ) using the initial multifactor productivity of 0.333
calculate the target total cost = output / multifactor of productivity
= 150/0.333
= 450 euros
hence Material cost = (450 - 8*9-28)/150
= 2.33 euro per script
So, the material cost will be increased by = 2.33 euros - 2
euros
= 0.333 euros per script

Answer:
Please see attached.
Explanation:
Please see attached vertical analysis of the 2017 income statement data for Crane company and Sheridan company.
Note: The percent for each company - Crane and Sheridan is arrived at by dividing each item( expense or income) by sales multiplied by 100.

A General Co. bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent and pays interest annually. The face value is $1,000 and the current market price is $1,020.50. The bond matures in 20 years. What is the yield to maturity
Answer:
6.81 %
Explanation:
The Required Interest Rate (i) is the yield to maturity and this is calculated as :
Pv = - $1,020.50
pmt = $1,000 × 7% = $70
n = 20
p/yr = 1
Fv = $1,000.00
i = ?
Using a Financial Calculator to input the values as shown, the yield to maturity (i) is 6.8094 or 6.81 %.
Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1, 2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.
Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.
Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders
A University is offering a charitable gift program. A former student who is now 50 years old is consider the following offer: The student can invest $8,900.00 today and then will be paid a 9.00% APR return starting on his 65th birthday (i.e For a $10,000 investment, a 9% rate would mean $900 per year). The program will pay the cash flow for this investment while you are still alive. You anticipate living 21.00 more years after your 65th birthday. The former student wants a return of 6.00% on his investments, but would like to consider this opportunity.
Required:
Using the student's desired return, what is the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday?
Answer:
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
Explanation:
Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.
We therefore proceed with the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday
The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?
P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)
PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288
PV at 65 = $6,282.02
Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.
Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:
PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)
Where;
PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15
Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969
PV at 50 = $2,621.27
Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.
Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.
Answer:
I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.
A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).

At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
Café Med
a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).
b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Lease annual payments = $29,000
First payment date = January 1, 2021
Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.
Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)
Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000
Lifespan of equipment = 13 years
Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113
b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease. This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense. The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.

If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is
Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented
Explanation:
If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of $250 a month, the on-campus housing market is inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.
An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.
This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.
The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the____________________ using by_____________________________ the using___________ and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services .
Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.
a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.
Answer:
1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.
However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.
2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.
This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.
This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.
Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.
Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.
In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.
However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.

When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:
Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.
Explanation:
The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.
This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.
In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.
Sheridan Company pays all salaried employees on a biweekly basis. Overtime pay, however, is paid in the next biweekly period. Sheridan accrues salaries expense only at its December 31 year end.
