Davis Florist has two employees, Anita and Jerome, and two tasks that need to be completed, floral arrangements and floral delivery. It takes Anita 30 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and 40 minutes to make a delivery. It takes Jerome 10 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and 30 minutes to make a delivery. Each worker works six hours per day.
answer : 4 Floral arrangements and 2 Floral deliveries
Explanation:
Number of hours spent on Floral arrangements = 4
number of hours spent on Deliveries = 2
The tasks where each staff have comparative advantage is a task they do better and faster when doing both tasks ( i.e. A task with a lower opportunity cost )
For Jerome this task is ; Floral arrangements
For Anita this task is ; Deliveries
because They both have a lower opportunity cost here
Determine How many more floral arrangements and deliveries could they produce each day
There will be an additional 4 Floral arrangements and 2 additional Floral deliveries
To determine additional Floral arrangement we will consider Jerome
= (( 4 * 60 ) / 10 )
= 24 / 6 = 4
Coronado Industries had 309000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2020. No common stock was issued during 2021. On January 1, 2021, Coronado issued 195000 shares of nonconvertible preferred stock. During 2021, Coronado declared and paid $92000 cash dividends on the common stock and $80000 on the preferred stock. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $621000. What should be Coronado's 2021 earnings per common share
Answer: $1.75
Explanation:
Number of shares issued = 309000
Net income = $621,000
Cash dividend paid on preferred stock = $80000
Coronado's 2021 earnings per common share will then be:
= (Net income - Cash dividend) / Shares issued
= (621000 - 80000) / 309000
= 541000/309000
= $1.75
American Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $57 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $81 per gallon. American expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,100 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $162,000. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if American produces the new compound variant
Answer:
Effect on income= $32,400 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Difference in selling price= 81 - 57= $24
Number of units= 8,100
Increase in costs= $162,000
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= Increase in revenue - increase in costs
Effect on income= 24*8,100 - 162,000
Effect on income= $32,400 increase

The variable costing unit product cost was:
Answer:
Unitary variable production cost= $66
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 38
Direct labor $ 20
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8
Variable selling and administrative expense $ 4
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unitary variable production cost= 38 + 20 + 8
Unitary variable production cost= $66

Nantor Corporation has two divisions, Southern and Northern. The following information was taken from last year's income statement segmented by division: Total Company Southern Northern Sales $ 5,600,000 $ 3,460,000 $ 2,140,000 Contribution margin $ 2,450,000 $ 1,530,000 $ 920,000 Divisional segment margin $ 1,330,000 $ 1,020,000 $ 310,000 Net operating income last year for Nantor Corporation was $560,000. In last year's income statement segmented by division, what were Nantor's total common fixed expenses
Answer:
the total common fixed expense is $770,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total common fixed expense is shown below:
= Total company divisional segment margin - net operating income last year
= $1,330,000 - $560,000
= $770,000
Hence, the total common fixed expense is $770,000
We simply applied the above formula
Company A Company B Market Value of Equity $400,000 $600,000 Market Value of Debt $100,000 $800,000 Cost of Equity 9% 9% Cost of Debt 3% 4% Tax Rate 35% 35% Based solely on their current weighted average cost of capital, which company should pursue an investment opportunity with an expected return of 6.5%
Answer:
Company B should pursue the investment
Explanation:
To determine a profitable investment opportunity to pursue, we would compare the weighted average cost of capital WACC to the expected return on the investment opportunity. An investment return greater than the cost of capital implies a profitable investment and vice versa
The weighted average cost of capital (WAAC) is the average cost of all the various sources of long-term finance used by a business weighted according to the proportion which each source of finance bears to the the entire pool of fund.
Lets first work the after tax cost of debt for the companies:
After tax- cost of debt = cost of debt × (1-tax rate)
Company A= 3%× (1-35%) = 1.95%
Company B = 4%× (1-35%)= 2.6%
WACC coy A= 9%× (4/4+1) + 1.95% × 1/(4+1) = 7.6%
WACC coy B= 9%× (6/6+8) + 2.6% × 8/(6+8) = 5.3%
Company B has a cost of capital of 5.3% which represents the minimum
return required by by the providers of capital. An investment an expected return of 6.% appears profitable as it is greater than the company's cost of fund of 5.3%
Company B should pursue the investment

Bingham Company manufactures and sells Product J. Results for last year's manufacture and sale of Product J are as follows:
Sales: 10,000 units at $160 each $1,600,000
Less costs:
Variable production costs 960,000
Sales commissions: 15% of sales 240,000
Salaries of line supervisors 195,000
Traceable fixed advertising expense 180,000
Fixed general factory overhead (allocated to
products on the basis of square feet occupied)
170,000
Total costs 1,745,000
Net loss ($145,000)
Bingham Company anticipates no change in the operating results for Product J in the foreseeable future if the product is produced. Bingham is re-examining all of its products and is trying to decide whether to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Product J. The company's total fixed factory overhead cost would not be affected by this decision.
Assume that discontinuing Product J would result in a $100,000 increase in the contribution margin of other product lines. How many units of Product J would have to be sold next year for the company to be as well off as if it just dropped Product J and enjoyed the increase in contribution margin from other products?
a. 15,500 units.
b. 11,875 units.
c. 16,125 units.
d. 2,500 units.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 16,125
Explanation:
To calculate the number of units of Product J to be sold next year, we can use the break-even point formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Fixed costs= 195,000 + 180,000 + 170,000= $545,000
Unitary contribution margin= 160 - (96 + 24)= $40
Desired profit= $100,000
Break-even point in units= (545,000 + 100,000) / 40
Break-even point in units= 16,125
Prove:
Sales= 16,125*160= 2,580,000
Variable production costs= 16,125*96= (1,548,000)
Sales commissions= 0.15*2,580,000= (387,000)
Salaries of line supervisors= (195,000)
Traceable fixed advertising expense= (180,000)
Fixed general factory overhead= (170,000)
Net operating income= 100,000

AP* Price discrimination occurs when differences in a product's price reflect differences in marginal costs differences in a product's price reflect differences in marginal costs a products's average cost is greater than its average revenue a products's average cost is greater than its average revenue differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production a product's average cost is less than its average revenue a product's average cost is less than its average revenue the supply of the product is elastic
Answer:
differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services.
In sales and marketing, pricing of products is considered to be an essential element of a business firm's marketing mix because place, promotion and product largely depends on it.
One of the importance associated with the pricing of products is that, it improves the image of a business firm.
Price discrimination refers to the situation in which a business firm sells an identical product to different consumers at different selling price based on reasons that are not in any way associated or related with its manufacturing cost.
This ultimately implies that, price discrimination occurs when differences in a product's price do not reflect differences in costs of production.

Refer to Table 28-2. The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 was
O a. 88.9%.
O b. 53.3%
O c. 50%.
O d. 56.25%.
Answer: 56.25%
Explanation:
The labor force participation rate refers to the active workforce of a country. The following information can be derived from the question:
Adult population = 3200
Number of employed = 1600
Number of unemployed = 200
The labor-force participation rate of Aridia in 2012 will be:
= {(Number of employed + Number of unemployed) / Adult population} × 100
= (1600 + 200) / 3200 × 100
= 1800/3200 × 100
= 0.5625 × 100
= 56.25%

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 35 years. To do this, you will invest $710 per month in a stock account and $310 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9.1 percent, and the bond account will earn 5.1 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an annual return of 6.1 percent. Assume the returns are expressed as APRs.
How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 30-year withdrawal period?
Answer:
monthly payment = $16,162.87
Explanation:
future value of stock account = $710 x= [(1 + 0.00758333)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00758333 = $2,142,045
future value of bond account = $310 x= [(1 + 0.00425)⁴²⁰- 1 ] / 0.00425 = $360,116
future value = $2,502,161
PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.0050833)³⁶⁰ ] / 0.0050833 = 165.019
monthly payment = $2,502,161 / 165.019 = $16,162.87

A US company makes furniture and uses large amounts of exotic woods. How will quotas on imported wood affect he price of the product and the
marketing plans?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
A quota is simply referred to as a limited quantity of a product that can either be produced in a country or imported or exported under official controls. A quota is usually done to limit importation of goods and encourage local production.
Since the US company makes use of large amount of exotic goods which are usually imported, this will bring about a reduction in the supply of furniture as there'll be decrease in wood.
This will hence lead to an increase in price of the available furniture. This will certainly have a negative effect on the marketing plan of the company.

March April Sales in units 1,700 1,900 2,100 1,600 Ending inventory for each month should be 20% of the next month's sales, and the December 31 inventory is consistent with that policy. How many units should be purchased in February
Answer:
Purchases - February = 1940 units
Explanation:
To calculate the units to be purchased in February, we first need to calculate the opening and closing inventory for the month of February. We know that the closing inventory each month is equal to 20% of next month's sale, so we can calculate the closing inventory for January (which will be opening inventory for February) as,
Opening Inventory - February = 20% * 1900 => 380 units
We can also calculate the ending inventory for February by using the expected sales of March.
Closing Inventory - February = 20% * 2100 => 420 units
The purchases for February can be calculated as follows,
Units Sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
1900 = 380 + Purchases - 420
1900 + 420 - 380 = Purchases
Purchases = 1940 units
The following events took place when Managers A, B, and C were preparing budgets for the upcoming period:
I. Manager A increased property tax expenditures by 2% when she was informed of a recent rate hike by local authorities.
II. Manager B reduced sales revenues by 4% when informed of recent aggressive actions by a new competitor.
III. Manager C, who supervises employees with widely varying skill levels, used the highest wage rate in the department when preparing the labor budget.
Assuming that the percentage amounts given are reasonable, which of the preceding cases is (are) an example of building slack in budgets?
a. Il only.
b. I only.
c. II and III.
d. Ill only
e. I and II.
Answer:
Assuming that the percentage amounts given are reasonable, an example of building slack in budgets is:
d. Ill only
Explanation:
By using the highest wage rate in the department, Manager C deliberately overestimated her departmental expenses. However, her action is dictated by the need to ensure that there are no budget shortages for wages. By this slack, the actual performance of the department will be better than the budgeted performance because the department will likely spend less than its allotted costs.
The cases that represent an example of the building slacks in budgets should be option III.
Usage of highest wage rate:
Here we use the high wage rate with respect to the department. Also, the manager c should be overestimated the department expenses. The action should be dictated via the need for assurance that there should no shortages with respect to the wages. Also, the actual performance should be more than the budgeted performance since the department should lower than it

Total demand for Oxy is 10,000 units and for Sonic is 6,000 units. Machine time is a scarce resource. During the year, 50,000 machine hours are available. Oxy requires 4 machine hours per unit, while Sonic requires 2.5 machine hours per unit. What is the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
Answer:
$444,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin per hour
Oxy sonic
Sales $75 $44
Less: variable cost $40 $21
=Contribution margin per unit 35 23
÷Machine hour per unit 4 2.5
=Contribution margin per hour $8.75 $9.2
Ranking 2 1
Second step is to calculate the Hour required for sonic
Hour required for sonic = 6,000*2.5
Hour required for sonic= 15,000 hours
Third step is to calculate the Hour available for oxy
Hour available for oxy = 50,000-15,000
Hour available for oxy = 35,000 hours
Fourth step is to calculate the Production of Oxy
Production of Oxy = 35,000/4
Production of Oxy= 8,750 units
Now let calculate the Maximum contribution margin
Maximum contribution margin = 8,750*35+ 6000*23
Maximum contribution margin =306,250+,138,000
Maximum contribution margin = $444,250
Therefore the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year is $444,250
