Answers

Answer:

Please see attached

Explanation:

• Break even point in sales dollars $22,000,000

• Required sales in dollars $48,150,000

• Break even point in sales dollars $34,010,600

See as attached, detailed solution to the questions above.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales $44,000,000

Variable expenses $ 28,600,000

Fixed expenses 7,700,000

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 28,600,000)/44,000,000]

Break-even point (dollars)= $22,000,000

Now, we incorporate the desired profit of $9,152,500

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (7,700,000 + 9,152,500) /0.35

Break-even point (dollars)= $48,150,000

Finally, the new break-even point in dollars:

Total variable cost= 28,600,000*1.09= 31,174,000

Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / [(44,000,000 - 31,174,000) / 44,000,000]

Break-even point (dollars)= 7,700,000 / 0.2915

Break-even point (dollars)=  $26,415,094.34

A company, which is currently operating at full capacity, has sales of $2,480, current assets of $820, current liabilities of $510, net fixed assets of $1,670, and a 5 percent profit margin. The company has no long-term debt and does not plan on acquiring any. The company does not pay any dividends. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent next year. If all assets, short-term liabilities, and costs vary directly with sales, how much additional equity financing is required for next year

Answers

Answer:

$61.60

Explanation:

Equity funding need =  Projected assets - Projected liabilities - Current equity - Projected increase in retained earnings

Equity funding need = $2,739 - $561 -  $1,980 - $136.40

Equity funding need = $61.60

Workings

Projected assets = (Current assets + Fixed assets) * 1.10 = 820+1,670 * 1.10 = $2,739

Projected liabilities = Current liabilities * 1.10 = 510 * 1.10 = $561

Current equity = Current assets + Fixed assets - Current liabilities = 820 + 1,670 - 510 = $1,980

Projected increase in retained earnings  = Sales*5% * 1.10 = $2,480*5% * 1.10 = 124*1.10 = $136.40

a. Why do some price controls help create black markets?
b. What is a black market you have personally seen?

Answers

Answer:

Price ceiling creates black markets

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price of a good or service. Price ceiling is binding if it is set below equilibrium price.

When a binding price floor is established, producers would earn less profits and as a result they would stop selling their products in the free markets. This would lead to scarcity and a result a black market can emerge. Goods would be sold at a higher price in the black markets than it would in the free markets.

So, black markets can arise as a result of price ceiling and the need of producers to earn higher profits

b. During the war, when there was a rationing of meat. Farmers declared less animal births to authorities and sold the undeclared livestock in the black market.

Also, in less developed countries e.g. Nigeria, when there is scarcity of fuel. Black markets arise where fuel are sold for higher prices

Ramon had AGI of $165,000 in 2020. He is considering making a charitable contribution this year to the American Heart Association, a qualified charitable organization. Determine the current allowable charitable contribution deduction in each of the following independent situations, and indicate the treatment for any amount that is not deductible currently. Identify any planning ideas to minimize Ramon's tax liability.

Answers

Answer:

the situations are missing, so I looked for similar questions:

a. A cash gift of $68,500.

In the current year, Ramon may deduct $68,500 since his charitable contribution is limited to $165,000.

b. A gift of OakCo stock worth $68,500 on the contribution date. Ramon had acquired the stock as an investment two years ago at a cost of $61,650.

The stock's value for determining the contribution is $68,500 (fair market value). The deduction for 2020 is $49,500 (30% of AGI). The remaining $19,000 for years.

c. A gift of a painting worth $68,500 that Ramon purchased three years ago for $61,650. The charity has indicated that it would sell the painting to generate cash to fund medical research.

The contribution is valued at $61,650 (the charity will sell the painting immediately). The amount deductible in the current year is $61,650.

Explanation:

The charitable contribution limit was increased to 100% of AGI for 2020 by the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act).

How are productive resources
allocated among people and
businesses in the United States?

Answers

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

America is a good example of a free-market economy. In this type of market, productive resources are allocated through the interaction of a willing buyer and a willing seller. In a market economy, Mutual beneficial exchange of resources through trade is relied upon to solve economic problems. An Individual's self-interest is viewed as a benefit to society.

In a free-market economy like in America, purchasing power determines who owns resources. Resource owners are motivated by profits and other self-interest to engage in production. The forces of supply and demand control activities in a Free Market. Consumers decide what will be produced. In market economies,  operation and acquisition of resources is by the freely and self-directed interaction between consumers and producers.

All against Common Sense. Back in mid 80s, the US economy was very bad. It was much worse than it is now. At that time, to the surprise of many people, US automakers raised the prices of their cars. The common sense says that when the sales are slow, we lower prices and offer better deals to customers. Why do you think that the US car manufacturers increase the prices?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This most likely happened because in the 80's the economy was so bad that even by lowering their prices the middle-class families would still not be able to afford to buy a car. The only individuals able to afford a car would be those who are wealthy. Therefore, by increasing prices and targetting wealthy individuals, the US car manufacturers could become profitable with much fewer sales and prevent the manufacturing plant from going under. Since wealthy individuals would not mind much the increased prices because they can still afford it without making much of a dent in their wealth.

b. Country A's worker productivity must have grown faster than country B's.
c. Both of the above are correct.
d. None of the above are correct.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.

The standard of living is calculated as real GDP / population. Even though the real GDP of country A grew faster than country B, country A's population might be higher than country B's making its standard of living lower.

To make a conclusion that the growth of country A's worker productivity grew faster, it must be assumed that population grew at the same rate in both countries

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs are $44 per​ person

Fixed costs $412,500

Let's suppose that the new selling price is $100.

To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 412,500 / (100 - 44)

Break-even point in units= 7,366 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 412,500 / (56/100)

Break-even point (dollars)= $736,607

A share of Lash Inc.'s common stock just paid a dividend of $2.10. If the expected long-run growth rate for this stock is 5%, and if investors' required rate of return is 18.5%, what is the stock price

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $16.333333333 rounded off to $16.33

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return  

P0 = 2.1 * (1+0.05)  /  (0.185 - 0.05)

P0 = $16.333333333 rounded off to $16.33

Rust Pipe Co. was established in 1994. Four years later the company went public. At that time, Robert Rust, the original owner, decided to establish two classes of stock. The first represents Class A founders' stock and is entitled to twelve votes per share. The normally traded common stock, designated as Class B, is entitled to one vote per share. In late 2010, Mr. Stone, an investor, was considering purchasing shares in Rust Pipe Co. While he knew the existence of founders’ shares were not often present in other companies, he decided to buy the shares anyway because of a new technology Rust Pipe had developed to improve the flow of liquids through pipes. Of the 1,900,000 total shares currently outstanding, the original founder's family owns 52,725 shares. What is the percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

34.25%

Explanation:

Votes per share = 12

Shares owned = 52725

Now we are to calculate the total value of the total number of of votes

Total votes = votes per share * shares owned

= 12*52725

Total = 632700

Value of votes of class B

Total shares outstanding - founders family shares

= 1900000 - 52725

= 1847275

The question requires us to calculate percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes

632700/1847275

= 0.3425

= 34.25%

A perpetuity pays $170 per year and interest rates are 8.2 percent. How much would its value change if interest rates increased to 9.7 percent

Answers

Answer:

$320.59 decrease

Explanation:

The computation of the change in the value is shown below:

Bond Ratings. Companies pay rating agencies such as Moody’s and S&P to rate their bonds, and the costs can be substantial. However, companies are not required to have their bonds rated in the first place; doing so is strictly voluntary. Why so you think they do so?

Answers

Answer:

Bond Ratings

Companies employ rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to rate their bonds despite the substantial costs and their voluntariness because ratings by these agencies add a badge of honor to the bonds.  It gives investors some level of assurance that the bonds will be honored at maturity and that the pricing is right, given the company's credit risk.

Explanation:

Credit risk rating agencies assess the credit risk of a company or financial product as formal and credit-worthy benchmarks for investment decisions.  While companies pay huge costs to have these ratings conducted by the big three, including Moody's, S&P, and Fitch, the main value goes to the potential investors who require the information to decide whether to invest in the rated companies.

Answers

Answer:

False, the labor forced increased

Explanation:

labor force = total number of people actively working (employed) or searching for jobs (unemployed)

lets say L = the total labor force in 2010

by 2016, L had increased by 12.1 million and decreased by 7.3 million

net change of L = 12.1 - 7.3 = 4.8 more million people were part of the labor force in 2016 than in 2010.

A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent, what maximum initial investment would make the project acceptable? Multiple Choice $638,392.96 $595,833.43 $1,534,047.75 $655,213.49 $684,772.10

Answers

Answer:

PV= $684,772.1

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A project that will last for 10 years is expected to have equal annual cash flows of $103,900. If the required return is 8.4 percent.

First, we need to calculate the future value of the cash flows:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash flow

FV= {103,900*[(1.084^10) - 1]} / 0.084

FV= $1,534,047.75

Now, we can determine the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 1,534,047.75 / (1.084^10)

PV= $684,772.1

Answer:

Kepler Company

a. Return on assets =  Net Income/Total Assets

= $ 97,800/$1,100,000     $ 79,200/$830,000

= 8.89%                               = 9.54%

b. Return on stockholders' equity = Net Income/Stockholders' equity

=  $ 97,800/$400,000     $ 79,200/$330,000

= 24.45%                               = 24%

c. Earnings per share = Net Income/Outstanding common shares

= $ 97,800/100,000     $ 79,200/100,000

= $0.98                               = $0.79

d. Price-earnings ratio = Market price/Earnings per share

= $2.98/$0.98                    = $2.98/$0.79

= 3.04 times                       = 3.77 times

e. Dividend yield =  Dividend per share/price per share

= $0.28/$2.98                    = $0.19/$2.98

= 9.40%                                      = 6.38%

f. Dividend payout ratio = Total dividends/Net Income

= $27,800/$97,800             = $19,200/$79,200

= 28.43%                              = 24.24%
