Answer:
1. The present yearly net operating loss is $65,700
2. Break even point in unit sales is 27,690 units, in dollars sales $2,575,170.00
3. The maximum annual profit that the company can earn is $23,300, at 30,500 units with a selling price per unit of $91
Explanation:
At breakeven point, the cost and revenue of the company are same such that the company neither a profit nor a loss. Operating profit or loss is the difference between the revenue and the cost of the company.
The cost of the company usually consist of the fixed and variable elements.
Given that the company’s present selling price is $93 per unit, and variable expenses are $63 per unit. Fixed expenses are $830,700 per year with present annual sales volume (at the $93 selling price) is 25,500 units
Hence the operating profit or (loss)
= $93 * 25,500 - ($63 * 25,500 + $830,700)
= $765,000 - $830,700
= ($65,700)
A loss of $65,700
Break even point in unit sales = Fixed costs / (Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit)
= $830,700 / ($93 - $63)
= $830,700 / $30
= 27,690 units
In dollar sales
= $93 * 27,690
= $2,575,170.00
if the marketing studies are correct then the new selling price per unit will be
= $93 - $2
= $91
The units sold will be
= 5000 + 25,500
= 30,500 units
The maximum profit to be made
= $91 * 30,500 - ($63 * 30,500 + $830,700)
= $854,000 - $830,700
= $23,300

On June 5, Staley Electronics purchases 100 units of inventory on account for $10 each. After closer examination, Staley determines 20 units are defective and returns them to its supplier for full credit on June 9. All remaining inventory is sold on account on June 16 for $15 each.Required:Record transactions for the purchase, return, and sale of inventory.
Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Explanation:
First, we have:
Units of inventory purchased = 100
Units of inventory returned = 20
Units of inventory sold = Units of inventory purchased - Units of inventory returned = 100 - 20 = 80
Therefore, the journal entries will be as follows:
Date Details Debit ($) Credit ($)
June 5 Inventory (100 * $10) 1,000
Accounts payable 1,000
(To inventory purchased on account.)
June 9 Accounts payable (20 * $10 ) 200
Inventory 200
(To record inventory return.)
June 16 Account receivable (80 * $15) 1,200
Sales 1200
(To record sales on account.)
Cost of goods sold (80 * $10) 800
Inventory 800
(To record cost of goods sold on account)

Answer:

Explanation:
Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $19 per unit and whose variable expense is $15 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $12,000. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $19
Unitary variable cost= $15
Fixed costs= $12,000
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= 12,000 / 4
Break-even point in units= 3,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 12,000 / (4/19)
Break-even point (dollars)= $57,000
Now, the fixed costs are $12,600:
Break-even point in units= 12,600 / 4
Break-even point in units= 3,150
Break-even point (dollars)= 12,600 / (4/19)
Break-even point (dollars)= $59,850

The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $232,000 of $1 par common stock and $430,000 par of 7% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors of Green declared cash dividends of $53,000 in 2021 after paying $23,000 cash dividends in each of 2020 and 2019. What is the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2021
Answer:
$8,700
Explanation:
Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = [($430,000*7%)*2 - ($23,000*2)] + ($430,000*7%)
Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = [$60,200 - $46,000] + $30,100
Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = $14,200 + $30,100
Dividends payable to preferred shareholders = $44,300
Dividend available to common shareholders = Total dividend - Dividends payable to preferred shareholders
Dividend available to common shareholders = $53,000 - $44,300
Dividend available to common shareholders = $8,700
So, the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2021 is $8,700.

Each of the following factors affects the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) equation. Which are factors that a firm can control?
A. Interest rates in the economy
B. Tax rates
C. The firm's dividend payout ratio
D. The general level of stock prices
Answer:
C. The firm's dividend payout ratio

Answer:
11.5%
Explanation:
WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)
Sayid is the sole shareholder of an S corporation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. At a time when his stock basis is $20,000, the corporation distributes appreciated property worth $40,000 (basis of $20,000). There is no built-in gain. Sayid's taxable gain is:
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the taxable gain is shown below:
The corporate gain is
= $40,000 - $20,000
= $20,000
Now the stock basis is increased i.e.
= $20,000 + $20,000
= $40.000
Now the stock basis decreased to zero i.e.
= $40,000 - $40,000
= $0
So, here the taxable gain is of $20,000

Suppose the black market shrinks because firms shift to the formal sector, but production remains the same. GDP
Answer: will increase but this will not affect living standards
Explanation:
GDP is sometimes called an incomplete measure because there are certain measures that it does not include such as the black market.
If firms in the black market shift to the formal sector, they will now be included in GDP which means that GDP will increase.
The living standards of people in the country will probably not change however because the firms involved were simply shifting sectors and are not said to be more or less prosperous as a result. Assuming they remained the same, nothing changes for living standards.
Felix's profit is maximized when he produces teddy bears. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear he produces is $ , which is than the price Felix receives for each teddy bear he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy bear (that is, one more teddy bear than would maximize his profit) is $ , which is than the price Felix receives for each teddy bear he sells. Therefore, Felix's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Felix is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as .

Consider public policy aimed at smoking.
a. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20 percent, by how much should it increase the price?
b. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking one year from now or five years from now?
c. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than do adults. Why might this be true?
Answer:
1. government shoud increase price by 50%. so it would be $3
2. larger effect 5 years from now
3. this is true due to their limited finance compared to adults
Explanation:
1. prices elasticity = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price
price elasticity = 0.4
% change in dmd = 20%
% change in price = ?
[tex]0.4=\frac{0.20}{?}[/tex]
we cross multiply
? = 0.20/0.4
= 0.5
= 50%
so if the government wants to reduce smoking by 20%, it has to increase the price of cigarettes by half of its price= $2 + $1 = $3
2. goods usually have more elastic demand as time goes on. So if cigarette price is permanently raised, it would have a bigger effect five years from now. This is based on the fact that the people may not feel short run effect of the increase as they would in the long run. But gradually given this increase, people may start to gradually reduce their smoking.
3. The effect of the change in price would be more felt on the teenagers. this is due to the fact that they have limited financial strength compared to adults. Also they are new to smoking compared to the adults and are more likely to be less involved in the habit.
What is another name for a job fair?
Free Skies Inc.'s annual report contained the following information (dollars in millions): Net loss $ (13,302 ) Depreciation, amortization, and impairments 34,990 Decrease in receivables 2,045 Increase in inventories 6,266 Decrease in accounts payable 505 Additions to equipment 4,677 Required: 1. Based on this information, compute cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method.
Answer: $16,962
Explanation:
The cashflow from operating activities of a company shows the cash it gets from its day-to-day operations.
It is calculated as follows:
= (Net loss) + Depreciation + Decrease in receivables - increase in inventory - Decrease in accounts payable
= -13,302 + 34,990 + 2,045 - 6,266 - 505
= $16,962
The firm's fixed costs are $60 000, variable cost per unit is $15 and selling price per unit is $20. The contribution margin per unit is: Group of answer choices $5 $15 $20 $35 g
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the contribution margin is computed as;
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Selling price per unit = $20
Variable cost per unit = $15
Then,
Contribution margin per unit = $20 - $15
Contribution margin per unit = $5
You buy a lottery ticket to a lottery that costs $10 per ticket. There are only 100 tickets available to be sold in this lottery. In this lottery there are one $455 prize, two $75 prizes, and four $20 prizes. Find your expected gain or loss. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer: Expected loss of $2.45
Explanation:
The expected gain is a weighted probability of the expected outcomes and their individual probabilities.
There is one $455 prize out of 100 tickets so the probability is: 1/100 = 0.01
There are two $75 prizes so the probability is: 2/100 = 0.02
There are four $20 prizes so the probability is: 4/100 = 0.04
There is a chance that you will lose the $10 and that probability is the :
= 1 - 0.01 - 0.02 - 0.04
= 0.93
Expected gain (loss) = (0.01 * 455) + (0.02 * 75) + (0.04 * 20) + (0.93 * -10)
= ($2.45)

A company purchased factory equipment for $350,000. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $35,000 salvage value at the end of its estimated 5-year useful life. If the company uses the double-declining-balance method of depreciation, the amount of annual depreciation recorded for the second year after purchase would be:_________ a. $140,000 b. $84,000. c. $126,000 d. $75,600
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $126,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $350,000
Useful life= 5 years
Salvage value= $35,000
To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Annual depreciation= 2*[(350,000 - 35,000) / 5]
Annual depreciation= $126,000
