Annual sales $ 88,000
Labor costs (72,000)
Depreciation of equipment (6,000)
Operating income $ 10,000
Income taxes (4,000)

Assume that the reserve requirement is 20% and that banks do not hold excess reserves. As a result of the withdrawal, required reserves: don't change. decrease by $8,000. decrease by $1,600. decrease by $6,400.
Answer: decrease by $1,600
Explanation:
Charlotte withdraws $8,000 from her account. When she first paid in that $8,000, the bank had to keep some of it as a reserve requirement. That requirement was that they keep 20%.
Now that she is withdrawing the money, the bank would have to retrieve that 20% from the reserve requirement in order to give it back to Charlotte.
That 20% is:
= 20% * 8,000
= $1,600

The endpoint method computes the percent change as a percent of the starting value.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Endpoint elasticity measures the price change and demand during the endpoint of the change. It uses a simple formula for the calculation of the price and the demand relationships. The formula is:
= (D2 - D1)/D1 ÷ (P2 - P1)/P1
where,
D2 = new demand
D1 = initial demand
P2 = new price
P1 = initial price.
The statement that "The endpoint method computes the percent change as a percent of the starting value" is true.

1 $6 $4 $4
2 $7 $4 $2
3 $10 $4 $1.3
4 $15 $4 $1
5 $21 $4 $0.8
b) The average fixed cost (AFC) is the total fixed cost divided by the quantity of production within the relevant range.

Analysts estimate that a bond has a 40 percent probability of being priced at $950 and a 60 percent probability of being priced at $1,050 one year from today. The bond is also callable at any time at $1,010. What is the expected value of this bond in one year?
A) $1,000
B) $980
C) $1,010
D) $995
E) $986
Answer:
E) $986
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value of the bond in one year is shown below;
= (Probability × Price of bond) + (Probability × Callable price bond)
= (0.4 × $950) + (0.60 × $1,010)
= $986
Hence, the expected value of the bond in one year is $986
Therefore the correct option is E.
PowerTrain Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two styles of All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs), the Mountain Monster and Desert Dragon, from a single manufacturing facility. The manufacturing facility operates at 100% of capacity. The following per-unit information is available for the two products:
Mountain Monster Desert Dragon
Sales price $5,400.00 $5,250.00
Variable cost of goods sold 3,285.00 3,400.00
Manufacturing margin $2,115.00 $1,850.00
Variable selling expenses 1,035.00 905
Contribution margin $1,080.00 $945.00
Fixed expenses 485 310
Income from operations $595.00 $635.00

Required:
a. Prepare a contribution margin by product report. Calculate the contribution margin ratio for each.
b. What advice would you give to the management of PowerTrain Sports Inc. regarding the relative profitability of the two products?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The contribution margin ratio for Mountain Monster will be:
Revenue = 5400 × 5000 = 27000000
Variable cost of goods sold = 3285 × 5000 = 16425000
Manufacturing margin = 2115 × 5000 = 10575000
Variable selling expense = 1035 × 5000 = 5175000
Contribution margin = 1080 × 5000 = 5400000
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Revenue = 5400000/27000000 = 0.2 = 20%
The contribution margin ratio for Desert Dragon will be:
Revenue = 5250 × 4850 = 25462500
Variable cost of goods sold = 3400 × 4850 = 16490000
Manufacturing margin = 1850 × 4850 = 8972500
Variable selling expense = 905 × 4850 = 4389250
Contribution margin = 945 × 4850 = 4583250
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Revenue = 4583250/25462500 = 0.18 = 18%
b. What advice would you give to the management of PowerTrain Sports Inc. regarding the relative profitability of the two products?
The Mountain Monster line provides the (larger) total contribution margin and the (larger) contribution margin ratio. If the sales mix were shifted more toward the (Mountain Monster) line, the overall profitability of the company would increase.
