Answer:
0.59%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be computed using the rate formula in excel as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the coupon payments payable by the bond till maturity which is 15
pmt is the coupon paymet of $120
pv is the current market price of $1,110
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(15,120,-1110,1000)=10.51%
The yield to call can be computed in a similar,while the only difference the future value would now be call price in 5 years which is $1050 and nper is also 5
=rate(5,120,-1110,1050)=9.92%
Difference between YTM to YTC=10.65%-9.92%
=0.59%

The U.S. Treasury has Kleine Toymakers is introducing a new line of robotic toys, which it expects to grow their earnings at a much faster rate than normal over the next three years. After paying a dividend of $2.00 last year, it does not expect to pay a dividend for the next three years. After that Kleine plans to pay a dividend of $4.00 in year 4 and then increase the dividend at a rate of 10 percent in years 5 and 6. What is the present value of the dividends to be paid out over the next six years if the required rate of return is 15 percent
Answer:
The present value of the dividends to be paid out over the next six years if the required rate of return is 15 percent is $6.57
Explanation:
Solution:
Given that
The present value =∑ ⁿ t=1 cf/ (1 +r)t
where cf= cash flow
r =the required rate of return
t = the number of years
Now
The present value will be:
cf₁/(1+r)^1 + cf₂/(1 +)^2 + cf₃/(1+r)3 + cf₄/(1 +r)^4) + cf₅/(1 +r)^5 + cf₆/(1+r)^6
Hence,
cf₁, cf₂ cf₃ = 0 as the firm does not expect to pay dividend in the next three years
Note: Kindly find an attached document of the part of the solution to this given question
At the beginning of the tax year, Barnaby's basis in the BBB Partnership was $118,800, including his $11,880 share of partnership debt. At the end of the tax year, his share of debt was $17,820. His share of the partnership's income for the year was $47,520, and he received cash distributions totaling $29,700. In addition, his share of the partnership's nontaxable income was $2,376.
Determine Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year.
Answer: $144,936
Explanation:
First start by removing the initial debt from the initial basis so as not to inflate the basis.
= 118,800 - 11,880
= $106,920
That is the Initial basis void of debt.
Then add anything that will increase the basis and remove anything that will reduce the basis. Income and debt generally increase the basis while dividends or cash Distributions reduce them.
The Ending basis is therefore,
= Pre debt Initial basis + Partnership Income + ending debt + Nontaxable income - Cash Distribution
= 106,920 + 47,520 + 17,820 + 2,376 - 29,700
= $144,936
Barnaby's basis at the end of the tax year is $144,936.
Portage Bay Enterprises has $ 1$1 million in excess cash, no debt, and is expected to have free cash flow of $ 10$10 million next year. Its FCF is then expected to grow at a rate of 5 %5% per year forever. If Portage Bay's equity cost of capital is 13 %13% and it has 66 million shares outstanding, what should be the price of Portage Bay stock?
Answer:
Value of a stock = $1.89
Explanation:
The value of a firm is the present value of the by the free cashflow discounted at the required rate of return
Value of the firm = FCF/(WACC- g)
FCF- free cash flow
WACC- Cost of capital = 13%
g- growth rate= 5%
= 10,000/(0.13-0.05)= 125,000,000
Value of a stock = Value of firm/No of shares
= $125,000,000/66,000,000 units
= $1.89
Susan saved $5000 per year in her retirement account for 10 years (during age 25-35) and then quit saving. However, she did not make any withdrawal until she turned 65 (i.e., 30 years after she stopped saving). Her twin sister, Jane did not save anything during the 1st 10 years (during age 25-30) but saved $5,000 per year for 30 years (during age 35-65). What will be the difference in their retirement account balance at age 65, if their investments earned an average return of 8.5% during the entire period
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Susan:
Annual deposit= $5,000 for 10 years
Lumo-sum for 30 years
Interest rate= 8.5%
Jane:
Annual deposit= $5,000 for 30 years.
First, we will calculate the future value of Susan:
First 10 years:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {5,000*[(1.085^10)-1]}/0.085
FV= $74,175.50
Last 30 years:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 74,175.50*(1.085^30)
FV= $857,050.14
Jane:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {5,000*[(1.085^30)-1]}/0.085
FV= $621,073.63
Earnings difference= 857,050.14 - 621,073.63= $235,976.51 in favor of Susan.

Calculate basic EPS, and explain the EPS effect of convertible preferred Thrifty Co. reported net income of $191,150 for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2017. At the beginning of that year, 50,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. On October 31, 2016, an additional 15,000 shares were issued. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. Also during the year, the company paid the annual dividend on the 20,000 shares of 6%, $50 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year. Required: a. Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for year ended January 31, 2017. b. If Thrifty Co.’s preferred stock were convertible into common stock, what additional calculation would be required?
Answer:
a. The basic earnings per share of common stock for year ended January 31, 2017 is $3.56 per share
b. If Thrifty Co.’s preferred stock were convertible into common stock, it would be required to calculate Dluted EPS
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the basic earnings per share of common stock for year ended January 31, 2017 we would have to calculate the following formula:
BEPS = Net income available to common stockholders / Weighted Avg. no. of common stock
Net income available to common stockholders=$191,150
Weighted Avg. no. of common stock = 50,000 + (15,000x 3/12)
Weighted Avg. no. of common stock= 53750
Therefore, BEPS = $191,150 / 53,750
BEPS =$3.56 per share
The basic earnings per share of common stock for year ended January 31, 2017 is $3.56 per share
b. If Thrifty Co.’s preferred stock were convertible into common stock, it would be required to calculate Dluted EPS

Most open market operations are ______ and are aimed at maintaining the economic status quo. During the______, however,______ targeted open market operations were used to encourage economic growth. These actions were dubbed "_______." The first round of this practice focused primarily on the________ market.
Answer:
routine; great recession; narrowly; quantitative easing; housing
Explanation:
An open market operation is sale and purchase of government securities to control the money supply and interest rates and to ensure regulation of the supply of money in the economy. Such money can be provided as loan to businesses and consumers.
Most open market operations are routine and are aimed at maintaining the economic status quo. During the great recession, however, narrowly targeted open market operations were used to encourage economic growth. These actions were dubbed "quantitative easing." The first round of this practice focused primarily on the housing market.
Two 1000 dollar face value bonds are both redeemable at par, with the first having a redemption date 3 years prior to the redemption date of the second. Both are bought to yield 12 percent convertible semiannually. The first bond sells for 813.04 dollars and pays coupons at 8.3 precent convertible semiannually. The second bond pays coupons at 5.3 percent per half year. What is the price of the second bond
Answer:
$ 915.71
Explanation:
In order to determine the second bond price we need to determine the number of years to maturity of the first bond using nper formula in excel.
=nper(rate,pmt.-pv,fv)
rate is the semiannual interest rate of 6% (12%*6/12)
pmt is the semiannual interest=$1000*8.3%*6/12=$41.50
pv is the current price at $813.04
fv is the face value of $1000
=nper(6%,41.50,-813.04,1000)= 16.00
The years to maturity=16/2=8 years
The years to maturity of second bond=8+3=11 years
price of second bond=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is 6%
nper is 11 years multiplied by 2= 22
pmt =5.3%*$1000=$53
fv is $1000
=-pv(6%,22,53,1000)=$915.71
Answer:
$915.71
Explanation:
Price of the bond is determined by calculating the present value of all cash flows.
We will use following formula in Excel
=nper(rate,pmt.-pv,fv)
rate = Interest rate = 12% x 6/12 = 6%
pmt = Coupon Payment=$1000 x 8.3% x 6/12=$41.50
pv = Price of first coupon = $813.04
fv = Face value = $1000
Placinf all the values in the formula
=nper(6%,41.50,-813.04,1000)= 16.00
Years to maturity=16/2=8 years
The years to maturity of second bond=8+3=11 years
price of second bond=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate = 6%
nper = 11 years x 2= 22
pmt =5.3% x $1000=$53
fv = $1000
Placing values in the formula
=-pv(6%,22,53,1000)=$915.71
Suppose the marginal damage and marginal benefit curves in a pol- luted neighborhood are MD = P/3 and MB = 4 – P. Also, suppose that transactions costs are low, so that the neighborhood residents and the firm can bargain. We saw that in this case, the socially optimal level of pollution is achieved. Start by computing the socially optimal P. Then, for each of the following cases, compute the amount of money trans- ferred through the bargaining process, and indicate who pays whom (i.e., whether consumers pay the firm, or vice versa). Also, compute the gains to each party relative to the status quo (i.e., the starting point of the bargaining process).
(a) Residents have the right to clean air; firm is dominant in the bar- gaining process.
(b) Residents have the right to clean air; residents are dominant in the bargaining process.
(c) Firm has the right to pollute; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.
(d) Firm has the right to pollute;residents are dominant in the bargain- ing process.

On April 1, Year 1, a company realizes that one of its main suppliers is having difficulty meeting delivery schedules, which is hurting the company's business. The supplier explains that it has a temporary lack of funds that is slowing its production cycle. The company agrees to lend $470,000 to its supplier using a 12-month, 11% note.
Record the following transactions for Shoemaker Corporation.
1. The loan of $470,000 and acceptance of the note receivable on April 1, Year 1 (If not entry is required for a transaction/event, select 'No journal entry required' in the first account field.)
2. The adjustment for accrued interest on December 31, Year 1. (If not entry is required for a transaction/event, select 'No journal entry required' in the first account field.)
3. Cash collection of the note and interest on April 1, 2002 (If not entry is required for a transaction/event, select 'No journal entry required' in the first account field.)
Answer:
1.
April 1, Year 1 Note Receivable 470000 Dr
Cash 470000 Cr
2.
December 31, Year 1 Interest receivable 38775 Dr
Interest Revenue 38775 Cr
3.
April 1, Year 2 Cash 521700 Dr
Note Receivable 470000 Cr
Interest Receivable 38775 Cr
Interest Revenue 12925 Cr
Explanation:
1.
The loan was extended on 1 April Year. The note received is an asset for the company and will be recorded as a debit to the note receivable account and a credit to cash as cash is being paid as an extension of loan to the supplier.
2.
The accrual principle states that the revenues and expenses relating to a particular period should be matched and recorded in their respective periods. Thus, on 31 December Year 1, the interest revenue relating to notes receivable for the period from April to December (9 months) will be recorded as a revenue and as a receivable as it will be received when the note matures.
Interest revenue = 470000 * 0.11 * 9/12 = 38775
3.
The amount for the loan and interest on it against the note receivable will be received on April 1 Year 2. The cash will be debited by the amount of note receivable and the interest revenue earned for 12 months on that note. The note receivable account and the interest receivable account will be credited which were assets and the interest revenue that relates to year 2 (3 months from January to march) will be credited against the cash.
Interest revenue Year 2 = 470000 * 0.11 * 3/12 = 12925
Cash = 470000 + 38775 + 12925 = 521700
Rabah has just been hired as manager of a health spa. The owner has commissioned a market study that estimates the per person (average consumer's) monthly demand for visiting the health spa to be q = 10 - 1/2p. The cost of operating is C(q) = 2q, where q is the number of visits. The owner has been charging a $64 per month membership fee and a $4 per-visit fee. Part of Rabah's salary is 10% of the monthly profits.
1. What per-visit fee p and per month membership fee F should Rabah suggest from the following options?
Select one:
a. p = 2, F = 80
b. p = 3, F = 91.
c. p = 3, F = 90
d. p = 2, F = 81
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
It should be noted that the salary of Rabah depends on the profit the company made after amount. Therefore, for Rabah to have or collect a high salary at the end of the month, then the amount to be charged per visit and the membership fee must be increased. So, when they are on the high side or increased, then Rabah is assured of a good salary at the end of the month.
The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities:
Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed.
Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-oz. cans.
Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard "fridge packs."
The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows:
Mixing $216,000
Filling 168,000
Packaging 96,000
Total $480,000
The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or "kicked," from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during filling, resulting in underweight cans. This process begins by mixing and filling 6,300,000 cans during the period, of which only 6,000,000 cans are actually packaged. Three hundred thousand cans are rejected due to underweight kicks. A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 300,000 cans to 63,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cans to 6,237,000 [6,000,000 + (300,000 â 63,000)].
Required:
a. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations. Round to the nearest cent.
b. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
c. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements. Round to two decimal places.
Answer:
$0.008
$3,792
$0.078
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
Total activity cost per packaged can under present operations = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged
= $480,000 ÷ 6,000,000
= $0.08 per can
b)
Current packaging cost = $96,000
Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged
= $96,000 ÷ 6,000,000
= $0.016 per bottle
Fr 6,237,000 bottles,
Total packaging cost = total bottle × cost per bottle
= 6,237,000 × $0.016
= $99,792
Therefore, Amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements = total packaging cost - current packaging cost
= $99,792 - $96,000
= $3,792
c)
Total activity cost = mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost
= $216,000 + $168,000 + $99,792
= $483,972
Hence, Expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles
= $483,972 ÷ 6,237,000
= $0.078
We simply applied the above formulas
Soccer Wholesale purchased land and a warehouse for $990,000. In addition to the purchase price, Soccer Wholesale makes the following expenditures related to the acquisition: broker's commission, $49,600; title insurance, $2,300; and miscellaneous closing costs, $6,900. The warehouse is immediately demolished at a cost of $75,300 in anticipation of building a new warehouse.
Determine the amount Soccer Wholesale should record as the cost of the land.
Answer:
Cost of land= $1,124,100
Explanation:
According to International accounting standards(IAS) 16 ,The cost of land includes purchase cost plus all other costs necessary to bring and make it ready for the intended use.
These costs include purchase cost, fees and commission associated with the purchase transaction.
Further more, included in the historical cost are the net demolition cost of old structure to prepare the land for use. Net cost here means cost of demolition less any incidental proceed from the old structure.
However, remember that land is not depreciated because it has an infinite life span.
So using the historical cost principle the cost of the land
Cost of land = 990,000 + 49,600 +2300 + 6, 900 + 75,300= 1,124,100.00
Cost of land= $1,124,100
A machine purchased three years ago for $303,000 has a current book value using straight-line depreciation of $184,000; its operating expenses are $36,000 per year. A replacement machine would cost $239,000, have a useful life of nine years, and would require $12,000 per year in operating expenses. It has an expected salvage value of $76,000 after nine years. The current disposal value of the old machine is $88,000; if it is kept 9 more years, its residual value would be $15,000.Calculate the total costs in keeping the old machine and purchase a new machine.
Answer: Cost of keeping old machine is $469,000
Cost of Purchasing New Machine is $271,000
Explanation:
Keeping the old machine.
When calculating the cost of keeping the machine you use the disposal value.
Cost = (Disposal Value - Residual Value) + Total Operating Costs for remaining lifetime
Cost = ( 88,000 - 15,000) + ( 36,000 * 11 years)
Cost = 73,000 + 396,000
Cost = $469,000
Cost of keeping old machine is $469,000.
Cost of New machine
Cost = (Disposal Value - Residual Value) + Total Operating Costs for remaining lifetime
Cost = (239,000 - 76,000) + (12,000 * 9)
Cost = 163,000 + 108,000
Cost = $271,000
Cost if New machine purchased,
= $271,000

tems is a start-up company that makes connectors for high-speed Internet connections. BotNet Systems has budgeted three hours of direct labor per connector, at a standard cost of $ 13 per hour. During August, technicians actually worked 192 hours completing 80 connectors. All 80 connectors actually produced were sold. BotNet paid the technicians $ 13.80 per hour. What is BotNet's direct labor cost variance for August?
Answer:
-$153.6 Unfavorable
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of direct labor cost variance for August is provided below:-
Direct labor cost variance for August = (Standard rate - Actual rate) × Actual hour
= ($13 per hour - $13.80 per hour) × 192 hours
= -$0.8 × 192 hours
= -$153.6 Unfavorable
Here, the actual rate is higher than standard rate so the amount will come into unfavorable and to reach out the direct labor cost variance for august we put the value into formula.
Yvette is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: Because her pool sessions are helping her swim more quickly, Yvette plans to reduce by 1 hour per week the time she spends training on the bike and increase by 1 hour the time she spends in the swimming pool; however, her husband says that she should stop doing any biking and running and spend all 20 hours per week in the pool.
Which basic principle of individual choice does Yvette's plan illustrate that her husband's advice does not?
a. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.
b. Resources are scarce.
c. Many decisions are made on the margin.
d. All costs are opportunity costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: All costs are opportunity costs.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that Yvette is looking forward to reduce only one hour of her training on the bike in order to add one hour to her training on the pool and later her husband says that she should use all her hours for the training in the pool is showing a situation where her husband's advice does not illustrate a basic principle of individuals choices that is that all the costs are opportunity costs and therefore that if she decides to do that then she would be sacrifying the time for the other trainings and that would not benefit her. So that is why she must choose to sacrifice time in one training to do another and so on.
When actual output exceeds potential, firms have an easy time keeping production in line with the high demand. Firms therefore lower their prices by more than the usual amount in an attempt to cover increased production costs. When actual output falls below potential, firms easily keep production in line with the high demand. Firms therefore raise their prices by more than the usual amount in an attempt to cover increased production costs. When actual output exceeds potential, firms struggle to keep production in line with the high demand. Firms therefore raise their prices by more than the usual amount in an attempt to cover increased production costs. When actual output exceeds potential, firms struggle to keep production in line with the high demand. Firms therefore lower their prices with decreased production costs.
A. True
B. False
Answer: When actual output exceeds potential
Firms raise their prices by more than the usual amount in an attempt to cover increased production costs.
Explanation: The price level rises because employers have to raise wage rates to entice more people into the labor market and employers have to pay more for other inputs that become more expensive to produce.

If the price of a kayak increases, _______.
A. sellers offer more kayaks for sale
B. the supply of kayaks increases
C. sellers offer fewer kayaks for sale
D. the supply of kayaks decreases.
Answer:
A. sellers offer more kayaks for sale
Explanation:
According to the law of supply , the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.
If the price of kayaks increases, all things being equal the quantity of kayaks supplied increases.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
A is the correct answer.
Explanation:
the law of supply states that when price gets higher or increases, then there would be a corresponding increase in the quantity supplied and when the price gets lower or decreases, so does the quantity supplied.
Following this law, If the price of kayaks increases, then the quantity of kayaks supplied would also increase.
Radar Company sells bikes for $480 each. The company currently sells 4,000 bikes per year and could make as many as 4,370 bikes per year. The bikes cost $260 each to make: $160 in variable costs per bike and $100 of fixed costs per bike. Radar received an offer from a potential customer who wants to buy 370 bikes for $460 each. Incremental fixed costs to make this order are $46,000. No other costs will change if this order is accepted.
Compute Radar's additional income (ignore taxes) if it accepts this order.
Answer:
$65,000
Explanation:
The total cost of the additional order will be $46,000 of fixed costs and an additional $160 of variable costs for each of the 370 bikes. The additional production cost is:
[tex]C=\$46,000+370*\$160\\C=\$105,200[/tex]
If each bike is going to be sold for $460, then the additional income (excluding taxes) from accepting this order is:
[tex]I=(price*units)-cost\\I=(\$460*370)-\$105,200\\I=\$65,000[/tex]
Radar's additional income is $65,000.
You are considering replacing your aging propane furnace for a natural gas model. The propane model originally cost $2,200, will last 6 more years, and will have no salvage value. The gas model costs $2,200 and offers a $400 trade-in on the old furnace. It lasts 13 years and can be salvaged for $500 at the end of year 13. Annual fuel costs are $800 for the propane furnace and $600 for the gas furnace. The real interest rate is 9% per year. Using cash-flow replacement and annual worth analysis, should the propane furnace be replaced with the gas model?
Answer:
The information is not complete (we do not know the useful life of the propane model), but the difference in costs between one project and the other is two large. The NPV of the savings for the gas model almost pays for the initial investment, plus the present value of the costs of using the gas model are much lower for future equivalent projects, we can assume that replacing the propane furnace with the gas model is a good investment.
We cannot determine exactly by how much the actual worth of the costs of the gas model are lower than the costs of the propane model, but there is no doubt that they are much lower. The only way that the propane model would have lower actual costs would that its useful life is much longer.
Explanation:
use propane model use gas model
initial investment $0 $1,800
operating costs $800 $600
useful life 6 years 13 years
present value of the costs for first product life cycle:
$3,559 (6 years) $6,129 (13 years)
Since the useful lives of the alternatives are not the same, we must find a common denominator for the useful life of the alternatives. Here we have a problem because we are not given the information.
But we can assume that the useful life of a propane furnace is also 13 years:
use propane model use gas model
initial investment $2,200 $2,200
operating costs $800 $600
useful life 13 years 13 years
residual value $0 $500
present value of total costs per life cycle:
$8,190 $6,529
Now we need to determine the NPV of the money saved by using gas propane = -$140 (-$1,800, 9%, $200 saved during 12 periods and $700 received at last period), so basically the gas model almost pays for itself with the money it saves.

Birch Company normally produces and sells 43,000 units of RG-6 each month. RG-6 is a small electrical relay used as a component part in the automotive industry. The selling price is $30 per unit, variable costs are $19 per unit, fixed manufacturing overhead costs total $155,000 per month, and fixed selling costs total $46,000 per monthEmployment-contract strikes in the companies that purchase the bulk of the RG-6 units have caused Birch Company’s sales to temporarily drop to only 14,000 units per month. Birch Company estimates that the strikes will last for two months, after which time sales of RG-6 should return to normal. Due to the current low level of sales, Birch Company is thinking about closing down its own plant during the strike, which would reduce its fixed manufacturing overhead costs by $60,000 per month and its fixed selling costs by 8%. Start-up costs at the end of the shutdown period would total $15,000. Because Birch Company uses Lean Production methods, no inventories are on hand.1 Assuming that the strikes continue for two months, what is the impact on income by closing the plant?2. At what level of sales (in units) for the two-month period should Birch Company be indifferent between closing the plant or keeping it open?
Answer:
a)No, the company should not close the plant; it should continue to operate at the reduced level of 28,000 units, because it would lead to a $199320 greater loss over the two-month period than if the company continues to operate. By closing down, the needs of these customers will not be met and they would move to another supplier
b) 9880 units
Explanation:
Contribution margin = selling price - variable cost = $30 - $19 = $11
Contribution margin lost = 14000 units / month * 2 months = 28000 units
Contribution margin lost by the plant closing = 28000 units * $11 = $308000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost * number of months = $60,000 per month × 2 months = $120,000
Fixed selling cost = fixed selling costs total * 8% = $46000 * 0.08 = $3680
Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months = $120000 + $3680 = $123680
Net disadvantage before start up cost = Contribution margin lost by the plant closing - Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months = $308000 - $123680 = $184320
Start up cost = $15000
Closing plant disadvantage = Net disadvantage before start up cost + Start up cos = $184320 + $15000 = $199320
No, the company should not close the plant; it should continue to operate at the reduced level of 28,000 units, because it would lead to a $199320 greater loss over the two-month period than if the company continues to operate. By closing down the 28000 units produced would be lost, the needs of these customers will not be met and they would move to another supplier
b) Costs avoided by closing the plant for two months = $123680
less Start up cost = $15000
Net avoidable cost = $123680 - $15000 = $108680
Net avoidable cost/ Contribution margin per unit = $108680 / $11 = 9880 units
