A steam boiler is needed as part of the design of a new plant. The boiler can be fired by natural gas, fuel oil, or coal. A cost analysis shows that natural gas would be the cheapest at $30,000; for fuel oil it would be $55,000; and for coal it would be $180,000. If natural gas is used rather than fuel oil, the annual fuel cost will decrease by $7,500. If coal is used rather than fuel oil, the annual fuel cost will be $15,000 per year less. Assuming 8% interest, a 20-year analysis period, and no salvage value, which is the most economincal installation?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Natural gas boiler

Explanation:

Alternative                 Installation cost                  Annual savings

natural gas                 $30,000                              $7,500

fuel oil                        $55,000                               not given

coal                            $180,000                             $15,000

we need to find the PV of natural gas savings = $7,500 * 9.8181 (PVIFA, 8%, 20 periods) = $73,638

the PV of coal savings = $15,000 - 9.8181 (PVIFA, 8%, 20 periods) = $147,272

NPV of natural gas boiler = $73,638 - $30,000 = $43,638

NPV of coal boiler = $147,272 - $180,000 = -$32,728

Jason is faced with two choices: A BMW costing $40,000 gives him an additional 1005 units of utility, and a laser printer costing $1,000 gives him an additional 25 units of utility. Rational choice theory would predict that he would choose:

Answers

Answer:

either a BMW or a laser printer because they yield the same marginal printer

Explanation:

A rational consumer would choose the good that provides a higher utility

Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction received from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good. the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.  

Marginal utility per good = marginal utility / price of the good  

BMW = 1005 /40,000 = 0.025

Printer = 25 / $1000  = 0.025

Sandhill, Inc. has a unit selling price of $920, variable cost per unit of $510, and total fixed costs of $280,850. Compute the break-even sales units and sales dollars.

Answers

Answer:

(A) 685 UNITS

(B) 630,200 DOLLARS

Explanation:

Variable cost + Fixed cost  =  Total Cost

The break-even sales units would be the number of units Sandhill Inc. will sell in order to break even; that is, in order for their total cost to equal their total revenue.

If break-even point is the point where TR = TC then it is the same point at which PROFIT = 0

Recall that profit is the positive difference between total revenue and total cost. The negative difference (that is when TR < TC) is called loss.

Let X be = the break-even quantity or number of units, then we have

920x = 510x + 280850

Remember that VC varies or increases with the number of units produced, and so it has the x attached to it in this equation. FC on the other hand remains the same, regardless of the number of units produced.

So the left hand side of the equation has the total revenue, while the right hand side of the equation has the total cost.

Solving algebraically.

920x - 510x  =  280850

410x  =  280850

x =  280850 ÷ 410  =  685

ANSWER 1

The break-even sales units is 685 units.

The second computation is Sales in Dollars; at break-even sales units.

This revenue or sales is derived thus: Price per unit x Number of units

$920 x 685units  = $630,200

ANSWER 2

The break-even total sales or total revenue is $630,200

Hudson Manufacturing is an MNE based in the United States with operations in Asia. The firm is considering expansion into the European Union. Executives at the firm are debating whether central Europe or Eastern Europe would be best for the firm. Which of the following best supports a decision to establish operations in Eastern Europe?

a. Hudson wants to implement high performance work system.
b. Hudson plans to staff the foreign facility with local managers.
c. Hudson wants to minimise costs by keeping wages low.
e. Hudson recently lost money in a joint venture Explain each point to the executives as you decide on which point to support

Answers

In the question only "option a" is correct which can be defined as follows:

East Europe has also been able to build an industrial engine thanks to its entrepreneurial spirit. Several large companies have chosen the area as a location to produce their products.The decision benefits everyone, not just commercially, even though their motives may differ because of its highly-skilled, but cost-competitive labor force, many countries offer products of exceptional quality.East European workshops adhere to high moral standards of behavior. East European nations offer tremendous potential for organizations with strong ethical standards, particularly in light of Asian labor issues. This brand can offer 'Made in Europe' goods at a competitive rate because of the lower production costs which are retained.Firms can easily access all the gear & supplies they need for the area while lowering its transport costs & spending time on the road. The manufacturers can therefore probably deal with the finest and most established countries in terms of the quality of the products.Several East European workshops are eager to provide high standards and are not afraid to go the extra mile. In addition to other benefits, production in East Europe is financially stable.As just a result, not only is the labor force in Asia cheaper than in the West and more qualified than in Asia, but corporations can also save a lot on commuting costs. Reduced shipping times from factories result in lower costs, and also increased versatility.It's not just a matter of dealing with companies that are already in existence. To attract potential investors to foster the creation of new enterprises, Eastern Countries offer a variety of advantages.

The wrong choices can be defined as follows:

In "option b", it is wrong because, To expand within the European Union, Hudson doesn't quite intend to hire local executives for the international plant.In "option c", To minimize costs, Hudson must maintain high pay; thus it is wrong.In "option e", It's the first joint venture wherein Hudson has not lost money. That is why it is bad, and you must explain each position to both the executives as you pick which one to support.

d. No effect                                                         No effect

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

When a gift certificate is redeemed, it implies that merchandise has been given to the holder of the gift certificate in return. This will therefore decrease the deferred revenue account.

However, the moment a gift certificate is lapse; it is no longer possible redeem it for merchandise. That is, no merchandise has been given to the holder of the gift certificate in return. This therefore indicates that that the deferred revenue account will not change.

Therefore, the correct option is b. That is, the deferred revenue account will be affected as follows:

Redemption of certificates                   Lapse of certificates

b. Decrease                                                        No effect

b. only Daphne will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job for her.
c. both Iris and Daphne will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job.
d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.

Answers

Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.

Explanation:

Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.

The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.

Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.

Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.

Cochran's Furniture Outlet is issuing 25-year, 9 percent callable bonds. These bonds are callable in 4 years with a call premium of $45. The bonds are being issued at par and pay interest semi-annually. What is the yield to call

Answers

Answer:

a. Nper = 30

Explanation:

PMT = 45

FV = `1000

Price Pv = -1180

Rate (YTM) = ?

Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM

Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2

Nominal annual yield to maturity = Rate(30, 45, -1180, 1000) * 2

Nominal annual yield to maturity = 7.04%

b. Nper = 10

PMT = 45

Call Price = 1090

Price Pv = -1180

Rate (YTC) = ?

Using the MsExcel Rate function to derive YTM

Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(Nper, Pmt, -Pv, Fv) * 2

Nominal annual yield to call = Rate(10, 45, -1180, 1090) * 2

Nominal annual yield to call = 6.31%

C. Yes, the bond issue should call because the YTC is less than the YTM.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quantity of dog food purchased = 5,100 bags

Cost per bag = $7

Quantity of dog food sold = 5,100 bags

Sales price per bag = $11

Sales revenue                               $56,100 ($5,100 * $11)

Less Sales allowances                        220

Net Sales                                      $55,880

Cost of goods (dog food) sold      35,700 (5,100 *$7)

Gross profit                                  $20,180

Discounts (2,100 * $11 * 1%)                231

Net operating income                $19,949

Gross profit percentage = Gross profit/Net Sales * 100

= $20,180/$55,880 * 100

= 36.11%

Answers

Answer:

A)an improvement in the margin of safety for creditors.

Explanation:

Margin of safety can be regarded as a principle of investing whereby an investor only make purchases of securities during the time when the market price is below their intrinsic value significantly. In a case whereby

the market price of a security falls below ones estimation of its intrinsic value significantly, then the difference that exist there is regarded as margin of safety. Margin of safety can as well be regarded as financial ratio which gives measurement of the amount of sales which exceed the break-even point. Most times investors may create a margin of safety with regards to their own risk preferences, purchasing of securities in a time that there is a difference give room for an investment to be made with minimal downside risk.

For instance, company's ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity decreased from 0.6 to 0.4 during the year.

Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is

Answers

Answer:

$2436

Explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

total goods sold = (total inventory purchased + beginning inventory) - 60

(36 + 126 + 18) - 60

180 - 60

= 120

the 120 units sold would be taken from the inventory purchased on the 22nd and 7

(18 x 22) + [(120 - 18) x 20]

Answers

Answer:

Margin of safety= 950 units

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 42,000 / (54 - 14)

Break-even point in units= 1,050

Now, the margin of safety in units:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 2,000 - 1,050

Margin of safety= 950 units

Answers

Answer: D. Enforce the contract.

Explanation:

This falls under the doctrine of Promissory estoppel. This posits that when a party to a contract has invested their money into procuring the necessary tools to fulfil their part of the contract, the other party may not cancel the contract unless they pay the former party what they would have made from the contract.

This is because the party that used their money to procure tools (Susan in this case) would not have done so if the other party (Andy) had not made a promise to them in the contract that they would fulfil their part of the bargain.

The Courts would therefore enforce the contract.

Total direct operating margin less indirect expenses equals

Answers

Answer:

Total operating income.

Explanation:

Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.

On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.

In Financial accounting, the total operating income can be defined as the sum total of the profit of a business firm (company) after its regular, recurring costs and expenses have been deducted. Thus, it's the amount of revenue generated by a business firm (company) after subtracting all operating expenses and cost of goods sold (COGS).

Mathematically, the total operating income of a business is calculated by subtracting the indirect expenses incurred by the business firm from its total direct operating margin.

This ultimately implies that, total direct operating margin less indirect expenses equals total operating income.
