For Sunland Company, sales is $2600000, fixed expenses are $780000, and the contribution margin ratio is 36%. What are the total variable expenses? $499200 $2600000 $1664000 $936000
Answer:
$1,664,000
Explanation:
Given the following;
Sales = $2,600,000
Since we are given contribution margin ratio to be 36%,
We will use the formula for contribution margin ratio as depicted below to arrive at the total variable expenses.
Contribution margin ratio = Sales - Variable ) ÷ sales
36% = ( $2,600,000 - Variable expenses ) ÷ $2,600,000
Cross multiply
36% × $2,600,000 = $2,600,000 - Variable expenses
$936,000 = $2,600,000 - Variable expenses.
Collect like terms
Variable expenses = $2,600,000 - $936,000
Variable expenses = $1,664,000

B) Net income for 2017 has increased by 1 18% over that for 2015
C) Net income for 2017 has decreased by 18% over that for 2015.
D) Net income for 2017 has increased by 18% over that for 2015
Answer: D) Net income for 2017 has increased by 18% over that for 2015
Explanation:
Trend Analysis shows the difference in the value of a variable overtime. In the analysis below, the base year is 2015 and so has a trend percentage of 100%.
The increases or decrease in Net Income in subsequent years can be inferred by the different in the trend percentages of the various years. For instance, the increase (decrease) in net income in 2019 over 2015 is;
= 173 - 100
= 73%
This means that income in 2019 is 73% higher than it was in 2015.
The same goes for 2017 and 2015;
= 118 - 100
= 18%
Income in 2017 has increased by 18% since 2015.

Mannix Corporation stock currently sells for $57 per share. The market requires a return of 11 percent on the firm’s stock. If the company maintains a constant 3.75 percent growth rate in dividends, what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock?
Answer:
$3.98 per share
Explanation:
Calculation for what was the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock
First step is to find the price of stock
Using this formula
Price of stock = Next Expected Dividend/(Required Return - Growth Rate)
Let plug in the formula
$57 = D1/(11%-3.75%)
D1=$57×0.0725
D1 = 4.1325
Second step is to find the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock
Using this formula
Most recent dividend = Next Expected Dividend/(1+growth Rate)
Let plug in the formula
Most recent dividend= 4.1325/(1.0375)
Most recent dividend=$3.98 per share
Therefore the most recent dividend per share paid on the stock will be $3.98 per share
Josh was a mechanic. One day when he attempted to weld a car's gasoline tank, it exploded and he was hurt. He filed to collect workers' compensation. His employer resisted on grounds that Josh had been negligent and had also violated the express regulations of the company when he attempted to weld a gasoline tank. Which statement is correct
Answer:
Josh can recover even if he was negligent and violated the employer's rules.
Explanation:
Worker's compensation is a type of insurance that covers wage and medical costs of an employee that was injured in the course of working for the employer.
Accidents can happen during the course of doing official duty, so worker's compensation provides a cover from financial burden when the employee becomes unproductive as a result of the accident.
Generally the issue of negligence on the part of the employee is not considered.
So Jos will be able to recover worker compensation when he was injured from the car gas tank explosion.
Find the duration of a bond with settlement date June 11, 2018, and maturity date December 15, 2027. The coupon rate of the bond is 4%, and the bond pays coupons semiannually. The bond is selling at a yield to maturity of 5%.
Answer:
The duration of a bond is 7 years and 7 months.
Explanation:
The settlement date is the date that the bond transaction is concluded, the date that the buyer must pay for the bond and the seller must deliver the asset.
The maturity date is the date where the seller will receive an amount equal to the principle or nominal amount of the bond.
Thus, the duration of the bond is the period between the settlement date (June 11, 2018) and the maturity date (December 15, 2027).
The period is 7 years and 7 months
At the break-even point of 1000 units, variable costs are $60000, and fixed costs are $35000. How much is the selling price per unit?
Answer:
the selling price per unit is $95
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price per unit is shown below:
Selling price per unit is
= Total cost ÷ break even points
where,
Total cost is
= Variable cost + fixed cost
= $60,000 + $35,000
= $95,000
And, the break even point is 1,000 units
So, the selling price per unit is
= $95,000 ÷ 1,000 units
= $95
Therefore, the selling price per unit is $95

An investor purchases a TIPS bond with a 3% coupon. During the first year, if the inflation rate is 8%, the principal value of the security at the end of that year will be closest to:_________
Answer:
assuming that the cost of the bond was originally $1,000, its principal will be adjusted to $1,000 x (1 + 8%) = $1,080 at the end of the year.
Explanation:
TIPS stand for Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, which means that the principal value of the security will be adjusted to inflation. The coupon rate is not adjusted, but since the principal is, if inflation rises, you will receive a higher coupon rate and the maturity value of the security will also increase.
Here we are assuming that the value of the principal amount of bond investment is $4000, so the principal value of security at the end of the year will be $4320.
The calculation is done by taking the inflation rate into consideration which is 8% as compared to coupon rate 3%. The rate of Interest is taken as 8% as the inflation rate is greater than the coupon rate.
The TIPS bonds are also referred to as the Treasury-Inflation Protected Security bonds and as the name suggests if the inflation rate beats the coupon rate of such bonds it is applied to the appreciation.The coupon rate over these bonds is generally lower than the average inflation rate every year as it makes the investors secured that their money is at least at par with the rate of inflation.The calculation of principal value of such bonds at the maturity of one year can be calculated using the following formula,[tex]\rm Principal\ Value= Amount\ Invested\ x\ (1+\ Inflation\ Rate)[/tex]
Putting the values in the formula we get,
[tex]\rm Principal\ value= 4000\ x\ (1+0.08)[/tex]
[tex]\rm Principal\ value= 4000\ x\ 1.08[/tex]
Therefore the principal value of the bond is obtained as $4320.
Hence, the correct value of the TIPS bond in which an investor invests his money will grow to a value of $4320.

Lauren has one dependent child and will file as head of household. In addition to income from wages, she has a $1,000 capital gain from the sale of stock that she owned for eight months. Her taxable income is $72,000, so her marginal tax rate is 22%. Lauren's tax on her capital gain is:_________. a) $0 b) $150 c) $220 d) $280
Answer: c) $220
Explanation:
Capital Gains from assets that were held for less than a year attract the same tax rate that a person would pay based on their federal tax brackets.
As Lauren held the stock for only 8 months before she sold it and as her marginal tax rate is 22%, she is to pay a 22% tax on the capital gain;
= 22% * 1,000

If a worker takes 50 hours to perform a task the first time he/she does it, and the learning percentage is 80%
a. How long does it take the worker to do the task the third time it is performed?
b. How long does it take the worker to do all three tasks?
c. How much longer would it take the worker to complete two additional tasks (beyond the first three)?
Answer:
Requirement a. 35.11 Hrs
Requirement b. 125.105 Hrs
Requirement c. 61.782 Hrs
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the learning curve is as under:
Y = aX^2
Here
X is cumulative number of units
Y is cumulative time required for X number of units
a is the time taken for first unit which is 50 hours
b = Log of Learning Curve Percentage / Log 2
Learning Curve Percentage is 80%
This means
b = log 0.8 / log 2 = – 0.322
Requirement A: How long does it take the worker to do the task the third time it is performed?
Now in this case, X is 3 units, Y is unknown, a is 50 hours and b is 80%. By putting the values in the above formula, we have:
Y = 50 Hrs * 3 Units ^-0.322 = 125.105 Hours
Now this Y is cumulative time for unit 1, 2 and 3.
We
Time required for 3rd unit = Y for 3 cumulative units - 50 Hrs for first Unit - Time required for second Unit
Time required for 3rd unit = 125.105 Hours - 50 Hours - 50 Hrs * 2 Units ^-0.322 = 35.11 Hrs
Requirement B:
125.105 Hours are required to work for 3 Units (Calculated above).
Requirement C:
Cumulative time taken for 5 Units = Y = 50 Hrs * 5 Units ^-0.322 = 186.887
Now
Time taken for 4th and 5th units = Cumulative time for 5 Units - Cumulative time taken for 3 Units
By putting values, we have:
Time taken for 4th and 5th units = 186.887 Hrs - 125.105 Hrs = 61.782 Hrs
A machine costing $212,600 with a four-year life and an estimated $17,000 salvage value is installed in Luther Company's factory on January 1. The factory manager estimates the machine will produce 489,000 units of product during its life. It actually produces the following units: 122,800 in Year 1, 122,900 in Year 2, 120,500 in Year 3, 132,800 in Year 4. The total number of units produced by the end of Year 4 exceeds the original estimate-this difference was not predicted. (The machine cannot be depreciated below its estimated salvage value.)
Required:
Compute depreciation for each year (and total depreciation of all years combined) for the machine under each depreciation method. (Round your per unit depreciation to 2 decimal places. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Luther Company
Depreciation expense for each year:
a1) Straight line method:
= $195,600/4
= $48,900
a2) Total Depreciation = $195,600 ($48,900 x 4)
b1) Production unit method:
Depreciation rate = $195,600/ 489,000
= $0.40 per unit
Year 1 = 122,800 x $0.40 = $49,120
Year 2 = 122,900 x $0.40 = $49,160
Year 3 = 120,500 x $0.40 = $48,200
Year 4 = 132,800 x $0.40 = $53,120 but cannot exceed $49,120, so it equal to $49,120
a2) Total Depreciation = $195,600 ($49,120 + 49,160 + 48,200 + 49,120)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of machine = $212,600
Salvage value 17,000
Depreciable value $195,600
Useful life = 4 years
Estimated production unit = 489,000 units
b) Using the straight-line method, Luther Company depreciates the asset with the same amount of calculated depreciation. This is calculated by dividing the depreciable amount of the asset by the number of years the asset will be put to use. The production unit method uses an estimate of the total production units to divide the depreciable amount. The depreciation rate obtained is applied to the number of units produced each year to ascertain the year's depreciation expense.
From the question, we have:
Depreciable amount = Machine cost – Salvage value = $212,600 - $17,000 = $195,600
We use 2 relevant depreciation methods as follows:
1. Straight line depreciation method
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 4 = 0.25 or 25%
Depreciation for each year = Depreciable amount * Straight line depreciation rate ………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Depreciation for Year 1 = N195,600 * 25% = $48,900
Depreciation for Year 2 = N195,600 * 25% = $48,900
Depreciation for Year 3 = N195,600 * 25% = $48,900
Depreciation for Year 4 = N195,600 * 25% = $48,900
Therefore, we have:
Total depreciation of all years combined = Depreciation for Year 1 + Depreciation for Year 2 + Depreciation for Year 3 + Depreciation for Year 4 = $48,900 + $48,900 + $48,900 + $48,900 = $195,600
2. Units-of-production method
Expected unit of production = 489,000 units
Depreciation rate = Depreciable amount / Expected unit of production = $195,600/ 489,000 = $0.40
Depreciation for each year = Unit produced for the year * Depreciation rate ………..(2)
Using equation (1), we have:
Depreciation for Year 1 = 122,800 * $0.40 = $49,120
Depreciation for Year 2 = 122,900 * $0.40 = $49,160
Depreciation for Year 3 = 120,500 * $0.40 = $48,200
Since it is stated in the question that the machine cannot be depreciated below its estimated salvage value, this therefore implies that:
Depreciation for Year 4 = Depreciable amount - Depreciation for Year 1 - Depreciation for Year 2 - Depreciation for Year 3 = $195,600 - $49,120 - $49,160 - $48,200 = $49,120
Therefore, we have:
Total depreciation of all years combined = Depreciation for Year 1 + Depreciation for Year 2 + Depreciation for Year 3 + Depreciation for Year 4 = $49,120 + $49,160 + $48,200 + $49,120 = $195,600

Honeycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 12,700 shares of stock and $109,250 in debt. Plan II would result in 9,800 shares of stock and $247,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent. The all-equity plan would result in 15,000 shares of stock outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. a. What is the price per share of equity under Plan I
Answer: $47.50
Explanation:
The price pr share given debt and the number of shares if the company had both an all equity structure and a mixed structure can be expressed as;
Price per Share = Debt Value / (Number of Shares under All-equity plan - Number of shares under mixed plan)
Price per share = 109,250 / (15,000 - 12,700)
= 109,250 / 2,300
= $47.50

Answer:
Salespeople receive indirect feedback from their customers
Explanation:
The fact is that it is not accurate to say sales as a profession does not offer much job security, as salespeople are the revenue producers for an organization because other professions may experience the same.
However, it is possible for salespeople to receive indirect feedback from their customers who may be surprised by a product's features or price.
Vicky Robb is considering purchasing the common stock of Hawaii Industries, a rapidly growing boat manufacturer. She finds that the firm’s most recent (2020) annual dividend payment was $2.50 per share. Vicky estimates that these dividends will increase at a 20% annual rate, g1, over the next 3 years (2021, 2022, and 2023) because of the introduction of a hot new boat. At the end of the 3 years (the end of 2023), she expects the firm’s mature product line to result in a slowing of the dividend growth rate to 8% per year, g2, for the foreseeable future. Vicky’s required return, rs, is 15%. Required: What is the current (end-of-2020) value of Hawaii’s common stock, P0 = P2020.
Answer:
P0 = $51.9956 rounded off to $52.00
Explanation:
The two stage growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow over time with two different growth rates. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
The formula for price of the stock today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[ (D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n ]
Where,
D0 is the dividend today or most recently paid dividendg1 is the initial growth rate which is 20%g2 is the constant growth rate which is 8%r is the required rate of returnP0 = 2.5 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.15) + 2.5 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
2.5 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 +
[(2.5 * (1+0.2)^3 * (1+0.08) / (0.15 - 0.08) / (1+0.15)^3)
P0 = $51.9956 rounded off to $52.00
Jenna decides to purchase a U.S. Treasury Bill for 95,000. The Treasury Bill matures in 180 days for 100,000. Let QR be the quoted rate on this U.S. Treasury Bill. Let j be the annual effective yield on this U.S. Treasury Bill assuming a 365 day year. Calculate j−QR.
Answer:
J-QR =0.96
Explanation:
Quoted interest rate(QR) is nominal interest rate that does not take compounding into consideration
Effective interest rate(J) is real interest rate that accounts for compounding
face value of tbill = 100,000
price = 95,000
time remaining for maturity, n = 180
QR T-Bill = [(Face Value - Price)/(Face Value)] *(360/n) = [(100,000-95,000)/100,000]*(360/180) = (5000/100,000)*2 = 0.10 or 10%
j = (1+ ((Face Value - Price)/price))(365/n) -1 = (1+((100,000-95,000)/95,000))(365/180) -1 = (1+(5000/95000))2.027778 -1 = 0.1096131
j = 0.1096131 or 10.96131% or 10.96%
Therefore j-QR = 10.96-10 = 0.96%
Waterway Industries produces 1000 units of a necessary component with the following costs: Direct Materials $42000 Direct Labor 23000 Variable Overhead 8000 Fixed Overhead 10000 Waterway Industries could avoid $6000 in fixed overhead costs if it acquires the components externally. If cost minimization is the major consideration and the company would prefer to buy the components, what is the maximum external price that Waterway Industries would accept to acquire the 1000 units externally? $73000 $79000 $77000 $75000
Answer:
The maximum external price that Waterway Industries would accept to acquire the 1000 units externally is $77000.
Explanation:
The maximum external price must be equal to the cost of making the components internally taking into account thee avoidable fixed costs of getting an outside supplier.
Determination of the maximum external price :
Direct Materials $42,000
Direct Labor $23,000
Variable Overhead $8,000
Fixed Overhead ($10,000 - $6,000) $4,000
Maximum external price $77000
