Road Master Shocks has 15,000 units of a defective product on hand that cost $80,000 to manufacture. The company can either sell this product as scrap for $6 per unit or it can sell the product for $9 per unit by reworking the units and correcting the defects at a cost of $40,000. Prepare a schedule to show the effect of selling the defective units as scrap or rework.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If the units are reworked, net income will increase by $5,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 15,000

Sell as-is:

Selling price= $6 per unit

Rework:

Selling price= $9

Total cost= $40,000

The original production costs ($80,00) should not be taken into account because they remain constant for the two options.

Now, we will determine the effect on the income of both choices:

Sell as-is:

Effect on income= 6*15,000= $90,000 increase

Re-work:

Revenue= 15,000*9= 135,000

Total cost= (40,000)

Effect on income0 $95,000 increase

If the units are reworked, net income will increase by $5,000.

The following payments will increase by 2 percent annually. What is the value of this settlement to Rhoda today if she can earn 5 percent on her investments

Answers

Answer:

PV = $733,271

Explanation:

From the given information:

The annual payment (P)  = $50,000

number of years (n) = 20

The growth percentage = 2% = 0.02

Rate of percentage earned = 5% = 0.05

Using the formula illustrated below to determine the Present Value (PV) of a growing annuity;

[tex]PV = \dfrac{P}{r-g}\Big ( 1 - \Big ( \dfrac{1+g}{1+r} \Big) ^n \Big)[/tex]

Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels of corn using 100 worker hours. If it decides to produce 60 barrels of oil, how many bushels of corn can it produce

Answers

Answer: 10 bushels

Explanation:

If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:

= 100 / 100

= 1 work hour

For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:

= 25 / 100

= 0.25 bushels of corn

If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.

Bushels of corn produced is therefore:

= 40 * 0.25

= 10 bushels

MAD Inc. has a capital structure consisting of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity financing. The company has $400 million in net income and plans to pay out 25 percent of their earnings as dividends. What is the maximum amount of new financing that the company can raise without selling new common stock

Answers

Answer:

$500 million

Explanation:

Retained earnings = Income * (1 - Dividend payout percentage)

Retained earnings = $400 million * (1-0.25)

Retained earnings = $400 million * 0.75

Retained earnings = $300 million

Amount that can be raise without selling new stock: Retained earnings / % of equity financing in total capital

= $300 million / 60%

= $300 million / 0.60

= $500 million

Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from $0.50 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmers produce from 2 million pounds to 4 million pounds. The price elasticity of supply in this case indicates that supply is Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer: elastic

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply will be:

The percentage change in price will be:

= (1.50 - 0.50)/0.50 x 100

= 1.00/0.50 × 100

= 200

The percentage change in quantity will be:

= (4 -2)/2 x 100

= 2/2 × 100

= 100

Elasticity = % change in quantity/% Change in Price = 200/100 = 2

Since elasticity = 2, this indicates supply is elastic as it's greater than 1.

This year Andrews achieved an ROE of 30.2%. Suppose management takes measures that increase Asset turnover (Sales/Total Assets) next year. Assuming Sales, Profits, and financial leverage remain the same, what effect would you expect this action to have on Andrews's ROE

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "  Andrews ROE increases."

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Using formula:

[tex]\text{ROE = Profit Margin} (\frac{Profit}{Sales}) \times \text{Total Asset Turnover} (\frac{Sales}{Assets}) \times \text{Equity Multiplier} (\frac{Assets}{Equity})[/tex]

As total asset sales (sales/assets) decline whereas other items remain constant, ROE decreases. Or we could assume that growth of asset turnover would result in increased ROE, culminating in much more sales per unit of asset held by the firm.

A company projects an increase in net income of $135,000 each year for the next five years if it invests $900,000 in new equipment. The equipment has a five-year life and an estimated salvage value of $300,000. What is the annual rate of return on this investment

Answers

Answer:

the annual rate of return is 22.50%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:

Average investment is

= ($900,000 + $300,000) ÷ 2

= $600,000

Now

Annual rate of return is

= Annual net income ÷ Average investment

= $135,000 ÷ $600,000

= 22.50%

hence, the annual rate of return is 22.50%

Additional data for the current year are as follows: (a) Net income, $75,800. (b) Depreciation reported on income statement, $38,000.

The unit cost for the business to make the part is $20.00, including fixed costs, and $11.00, excluding fixed costs. If 32,842 units of the part are normally purchased during the year but could be manufactured using unused capacity, what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it

Answers

Answer:

$164,210 decrease

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it

Differential cost increase or decrease=(32,842 * 16)- (32,842 * 11)=

Differential cost increase or decrease=$525,472-$361,262

Differential cost increase or decrease=$164,210 decrease

Therefore what would be the amount of differential cost increase or decrease from making the part rather than purchasing it is $164,210 decrease

If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually:____.

b. average total cost will fall to zero.
c. the increases in wheat harvested will rise at a constant rate.
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.

Answers

Answer:

d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.

Explanation:

A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).

An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.

Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.

When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.

Depreciation expense for 2020
Depreciation expense for 2021

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation expense for 2020 = $8,418  

Depreciation expense for 2021  = $11,346

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the units-of-production method is determined as follows :

Depreciation expense  = Depreciation rate x annual usage

where,

Depreciation rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated usage

                              = ($61,000 - $2,440) ÷ 195,200 miles

                              = $0.30 per mile

thus,

Depreciation expense for 2020

Depreciation expense  = $0.30 per mile x 28,060 miles

                                       = $8,418                    

Depreciation expense for 2021

Depreciation expense  = $0.30 per mile x 37,820 miles

                                       = $11,346

The amount of suspended losses carried forward to the year of the sale is $fill in the blank 1 20,000 . b. What amount of the suspended losses is allocated to Activity D

Answers

Answer:

      a. -$20,000

      b. -$2,000

Explanation:

a. The amount of suspended losses carried forward to the year:

= 30,000 + (-30,000) + (-15,000) + (-5,000)

= -$20,000

b. Suspended losses allocated to Activity D:

First find the total amount of losses:

= -30,000 - 15,000 - 5,000

= -$50,000

Activity B accounted for -$5,000 of this loss.

Suspended losses to be allocated to D would therefore be:

= -5,000 / - 50,000 * -20,000

= -$2,000
