National Corporation needs to set a target price for its newly designed product M14–M16. The following data relate to this new product.
Per Unit Total
Direct materials $23
Direct labor $45
Variable manufacturing overhead $12
Fixed manufacturing overhead $1,296,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 10
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 1,134,000
These costs are based on a budgeted volume of 80,000 units produced and sold each year. National uses cost-plus pricing methods to set its target selling price. The markup percentage on total unit cost is 35%.
Required:
a) Compute the total variable cost per unit, total fixed cost per unit, and total cost per unit for M14–M16.
b) Compute the desired ROI per unit for M14–M16. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

Explanation:
National Corporation
M14–M16
Per Unit Total
Direct materials $23 1840,000
Direct labor $45 3600,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $12 960,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead $1,296,000
Variable selling & Admin. expenses $ 10 800,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 1,134,000
Total Variable Costs per unit $ 90
Direct materials $23
Direct labor $45
Variable manufacturing overhead $12
Variable selling & Admin. expenses $ 10
Total Fixed Cost per unit $ 30.375
Fixed manufacturing overhead =$1,296,000/ 80,000= $ 16.2
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $ 1,134,000 / 80,000 = $ 14.175
Total Unit Costs= Total Variable Costs per unit + Total Fixed Cost per unit
=$ 90 + $ 30.375= $ 120.375
Return on investment measures the benefit an investor will receive in relation to their investment cost.
Desired ROI per unit + Fixed Cost= Mark Up Percentage * Variable Cost Per Unit
Putting values in the above
Desired ROI per unit + $ 30.375= 35 % * $ 90
Desired ROI per unit = 31.5- 30.375
Desired ROI per unit = $ 1.125= $ 1.13
The investor will receive a benefit of $ 1.13 per unit .

What would happen to the price of a certain commodity if the demand was always greater than the supply? There would be surplus of supply at any given price. Consumers would be willing to pay more for an abundant commodity and sellers would charge more, resulting in an upward spiral of the prices for the commodity. There would be a surplus of supply until the supply equals the demand. Consumers would be willing to pay more for a scarce commodity and sellers would charge more, resulting in an upward spiral of the prices for the commodity. There would be a shortage of supply until the supply equals the demand. Consumers would be willing to pay more for a scarce commodity and sellers would charge more, resulting in an upward spiral of the prices for the commodity. There would be a shortage of supply at any given price. Consumers would be willing to pay
Answers
Answer:
Consumers would be willing to pay more for a scarce commodity and sellers would charge more, resulting in an upward spiral of the prices for the commodity.
Explanation:
When demand exceeds supply, there's a scarcity. As a result of the scarcity, consumers would be willing to pay more for the good or service and suppliers would increase the price of the commodity. As a result price would rise.

Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.31 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $1,785,000 in annual sales, with costs of $695,000. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required return on the project is 12 percent. What is the project’s NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
Answers
Answer:
$115,849.581
Explanation:
For computing the net present value first we have to do following calculations
Annual depreciation expense is
= (Cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($2.31 million ÷ 3)
= $770,000
Now
Annual Operating cash flow = (Sales - Costs) × (1 - tax rate) + Tax savings on Annual depreciation
= ($1,785,000 - $695,000) × (1 - 0.25) + (0.25 × $770,000)
= $817,500 + $192,500
= $1,010,000
Now Present value of annuity is
= Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^ -time period] ÷ rate
= $1,010,000 × {1 - (1.12)^-3] ÷ 0.12
= $1,010,000 × 2.401831268
= $2,425,849.581
So, Net present value is
= Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows
= $2,425,849.581 - $2,310,000
= $115,849.581

Earnings on the nondeductible contributions equal $20,600. If Caden withdraws $15,000 from his IRA this year, $_____ will NOT be subject to taxation.
Answers
Answer:
$4500.
Explanation:
So, we are given the following data or parameters or information in the question above;
=>" traditional IRA with a balance => $220,000."
=> "Of that amount, $66,000 is from nondeductible contributions made while Caden was working. "
=> "Earnings on the nondeductible contributions equal $20,600. "
=> "If Caden withdraws $15,000 from his IRA this year"
Hence;
The amount that will NOT be subject to taxation = (Amount from nondeductible contributions made while Caden was working) ÷ (traditional IRA with a balance) × (withdrawal from his IRA this year).
=> [66000/ 220000] × 15,000 = $4500.

Fir the third quarter, the sales are 1,000 units, the seasonal index fir the quarter is 0.85. what is the deseasonalized sales for the quarter
Answers
Answer:
1,176 units
Explanation:
The demand which is created due to a season or specific time in each year is called seasonal demand.
Seasonal Demand = 1,000 units
Seasonal Index = 0.85
Using following formula we can calculate the deseasonalized sales
Seasonal demand = Deseasonalized Sales x Seasonal Index
Placing value in the formula
1,000 units = Deseasonalized Sales x 0.85
Deseasonalized Sales = 1,000 / 0.85 = 1176.47
Deseasonalized Sales = 1,176 units

Andre Candess manages an office supply store. One product in the store is computer paper. Andre knows that 10,000 boxes will be sold this year at a constant rate throughout the year. There are 250 working days per year and the lead-time is 3 days. The cost of placing an order is $30, while the holding cost is $15 per box per year. If he orders in batches of 500 boxes at a time, what is his annual holding cost
Answers
Answer:
$3,750
Explanation:
The computation of the annual holding cost is shown below:
= Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × holding cost per box per year
where,
Economic order quantity = 500 boxes
And, the holding cost per box per year is $15
Now putting the values to the above formula
The annual holding cost is
= 500 boxes ÷ 2 × $15 per box per year
= 250 boxes × $15 per box per year
= $3,750

Property Rights and Corruption When looking at a country as a market or investment, the international business must consider the country's legal system. In that assessment, the firm needs to understand the differences between private actions, which refer to theft, piracy, blackmail, and the like from individuals or groups, and public actions, which are those actions taken by politicians and government bureaucrats. Either kind of action would pose a serious threat to the firm's investment or operations. Before the firm can seek legal remedies, it must clearly understand the options open to it.
In a legal sense, property refers to a resource over which an individual or a business holds a legal title. It is a resource that it owns. Countries differ in the extent to which their legal systems define and protect property rights, even those countries that are still nominally communist states. Property rights can be violated, sometimes by governments and sometimes by individuals or groups.

Explanation:
Eclectic Paradigm is a three-tiered evaluation process which a company that plans to go international must follow in determining whether it would profit the company better limiting its operations to the domestic market or extending its operations to the international market.
The eclectic paradigm is called the OLI model or framework. It examines the Ownership Rights, Locational Advantages, and Internalization Factors. This helps the company to make decisions that are beneficial to it.
Property rights and corruption are aspects of the Ownership Rights that must be considered. Failure to put these factors into consideration may expose the company to risks and uncertainties and greatly reduce the ability of the company to increase economic benefits arising from transactions.
