1. Contribution margin with sales of 80,000 sheets at $8.00 each:
Sales revenue $640,000
Cost of sales 64,000
Contribution $576,000
2. Percentage decrease in selling price:
Old price = $8.00
New price = 7.00
Decrease = $1.00
Decrease in percentage = $1/$8 * 100
= 12.5%
3. Percentage increase in sales units:
New sales units = 93,600
Old sales units = 80,000
Increase in units 13,600
Increase in percentage = 13,600/80,000 * 100
= 17%
4. Contribution margin with sales of 93,600 sheets at $7.00 each:
Sales revenue $655,200
Cost of sales 64,000
Contribution $591,800
Old contribution 576,000
Increase = $15,200
5. Contribution per margin (new price) = $6.20 ($7.00 - $0.80)
Units to sell to equal the total contribution margin earned at the higher price of $8.00 = 92,903 ($576,000/$6.20)
6. Percentage increase in the number of sheets sold at $7.00 to equal the total contribution margin earned at the higher price of $8.00:
New units = 92,903
Old units = 80,000
Increase = 12,903
Percentage increase = 12,903/80,000 * 100
= 16.129
= 16.13%
7. The common fixed costs do not vary according to the units sold. Allocating a portion of the fixed costs to the alternatives does not make the comparison more accurate.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of a souvenir = $0.80
Selling price per souvenir = $8.00
Sales units = 80,000
Selling price of a new souvenir = $7.00
Sales units of the new souvenir = 93,600

XYZ stock price and dividend history are as follows: Year Beginning-of-Year Price Dividend Paid at Year-End 2015 $ 134 $ 3 2016 150 3 2017 125 3 2018 130 3 An investor buys five shares of XYZ at the beginning of 2015, buys another two shares at the beginning of 2016, sells one share at the beginning of 2017, and sells all six remaining shares at the beginning of 2018. a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor
Answer:
a. We have:
Arithmetic mean = 2.62%
Geometric mean = 1.82%
b. From the attached excel file, the total cash flow for each year are as follows:
January 1, 2015 Total Cash Flow = -$650
January 1, 2016 Total Cash Flow = -$273
January 1, 2017 Total Cash Flow = $141
January 1, 2018 Total Cash Flow = $768
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore given before answering the question as follows:
a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor.
b. Prepare a chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The following sorted table is given in the question:
Year Beginning-of-Year Price Dividend Paid at Year-End
2015 $ 134 $ 3
2016 150 3
2017 125 3
2018 130 3
a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor.
The arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor can be calculated as follows:
Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)
Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)
Where;
n = years 1, 2, 3….
r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….
Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)
Using equation (3), we have:
2016 Return = ((150 - 134) + 3) /134 = 0.141791044776119
2017 Return = ((125 - 150) + 3) /150 = -0.146666666666667
2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333
Using equation (1), we have:
Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1417910447761190 - 0.1466666666666670 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0262, or 2.62%
Using equation (2), we have:
Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.141791044776119) * (1 - 0.146666666666667) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0182, or 1.82%
b. Prepare a chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
Note: See the attached excel file for the chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
In the attached excel file, Beginning-of-Year Price for January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016 are negative because the purchase of stock is a cash outflow.
Tex's Manufacturing Company can make 200 units of a necessary component part with the following costs: Direct Materials $240,000 Direct Labor 35,000 Variable Overhead 75,000 Fixed Overhead 40,000 If Tex's Manufacturing Company can purchase the component externally for $330,000 and only $15,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision
Answer:
Buy and save $35,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Particulars Make Buy
Direct Materials $240,000
Direct Labor $35,000
Variable Overhead $75,000
Fixed Overhead $15,000
Purchase cost $330,000
Total cost $365,000 $330,000
As we can see that the buying total cost is less than the total making cost so here we can buy the product as it saves the company by $35,000 ($365,000 - $330,000)

b) A dominant strategy exists if Pictech or Flashfone would implement a particular strategy that benefits it no matter what the other firm does.
Suppose you want to deposit a certain amount of money into a savings account and then leave it alone to draw interest for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years you would like to have $10,000 in the account. How much do you need to deposit today to make that happen?
Answer:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods (n)= 10 years
Future value (FV)= $10,000
We were not provided with the interest rate. I will assume an interest rate of 7% compounded annually.
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 10,000 / (1.07^10)
PV= $5,083.49
Initial investment= $5,083.49
Kieso Company borrowed $640,000 for six months. The annual interest rate on the loan was 8%. Kieso's fiscal year ends on December 31. Kieso borrowed the $640,000 one month prior to the end of its last fiscal year and paid the $640,000 plus interest back five months into its current fiscal year. How much interest expense, if any, would Kieso report at the end of its last fiscal year and at the end of its current fiscal year
Answer:
Interest for last fiscal year $4,267
Interest for current fiscal year $21,333
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much interest expense, if any, would Kieso report at the end of its last fiscal year and at the end of its current fiscal year
Interest for last fiscal year=$640,000*8%*1/12
Interest for last fiscal year=$4,267
Interest for current fiscal year=$640,000*8%*5/12
Interest for current fiscal year=$21,333
Therefore How much interest expense, if any, would Kieso report at the end of its last fiscal year and at the end of its current fiscal year are:
Interest for last fiscal year $4,267
Interest for current fiscal year $21,333
Calculate the transaction value (in $ thousands) of a theoretical company based on the information provided below. Current Share Price $18.00 Shares Outstanding (Thousands) 5,000 Total Debt ($ Thousands) $3,700 Cash ($ Thousands) $2,100 Acquisition Premium 10% Review Later $82,600 $115,700 $97,600 $100,600
Answer:
The Transaction Value (in $ thousands) is:
= $97,240
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current Share Price $18.00
Shares Outstanding (Thousands) 5,000
Total market value = $90,000 ($18 * 5,000)
Total Debt ($ Thousands) $3,700
Cash ($ Thousands) $2,100
Net liability = $1,600 ($3,700 - $2,100)
Net fair value = $88,400
Acquisition Premium 10%
Premium = $8,840 ($88,400 * 10%)
Acquisition or Transaction value = $97,240 ($88,00 * 1.1)
b) The transaction value is the acquisition value of the theoretical company.
Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000 (26,000 units), actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance.)
Answer: Check attachment
Explanation:
The flexible budget performance report for the year has been solved and attached.
Note that the selling price per unit was calculated as:
= 400,000 /20,000
= $20 per unit
Therefore, total sales was gotten as:
= 26000 × $20
= $520,000
Variable cost per unit was calculated as:
= 80,000/20,000
= $4 per unit
Then, total cost was:
= $4 × 26,000
= $104,000

What would you prefer, a savings account that pays 10% interest compounded semiannually or one that pays 10% interest compounded daily? Explain.
Answer:
10% interest compounded daily will be preferable
Explanation:
In the first case, compounding occurs twice (semiannually)
In the second case, compounded occurs 365 days.
Note that compounding is earning interest on principal plus the already accumulated interest amount.
In the first case the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) would be:
= (1 + 10%/2)^2 - 1
= 0.1025
= 10.25%
In the second case the Annual Percentage Rate APR would be:
= (1 + 10%/365)^365 - 1
= 1.00027397^365 - 1
= 1.105154 - 1
= 0.105154
= 10.51%
So, 10% interest compounded daily will be preferable as it yield more.

Piper Rose Boutique has been approached by the community college to make special polo shirts for the faculty and staff. The college is willing to buy 4,000 polos with its own design for $6.00 each. The company normally sells its shirts for $12.00 each. The company has enough excess capacity to make this order. A breakdown of the costs is as follows:
Direct materials $2.00
Direct labor 0.50
Variable factory overhead 1.50
Fixed factory overhead 2.50
Total cost per unit $6.50
Should Piper Rose Boutique accept the special order made by the college?
Answer:
Piper Rose Boutique should accept the special order made by the college
Explanation:
Price per unit the college is willing to pay = $6
Total variable cost per unit to be incurred by Piper Rose Boutique = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable factory overhead = $2.00 + $0.50 + $1.50 = $4,00
Since the price per unit of $6 that the college is willing to pay is greater than the total variable cost per unit of $4 to be incurred by Piper Rose Boutique, Piper Rose Boutique should accept the special order made by the college.
Note: the Fixed factory overhead is not relevant in taking the decision. Only the variable costs are relevant.

Answer:
$361,000
Explanation:
Direct materials used = Beginning Materials + Purchases - Ending Materials
therefore,
Direct materials used = $ 77,000 + $ 324,000 - $ 40,000 = $361,000
Conclusion
The cost of direct materials used for production is $361,000.

You purchased 1,000 shares of the New Fund at a price of $38 per share at the beginning of the year. You paid a front-end load of 2.5%. The securities in which the fund invests increase in value by 9% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.3%. What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Answer:
1.40%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Rate of Return=[($38,000*(1.13-.09))-((1000 x $38/(1-.025))]/[1000 x $38/(1-.025)]
Rate of Return=[$39,520-($38,000/(1-.025))]/-[$38,000/(1-.025)]
Rate of Return=($39,520-38,974.36)/38,974.36
Rate of Return=1.40%
Therefore your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year will be 1.40%
Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Carol sells her stock on December 31 for $8,000. Because Burgundy’s stock is listed on a national exchange, Dave can ascertain that his shares are worth $8,000 on December 31. Does the Federal income tax law treat the decline in value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave? Explain.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.
Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.
With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.
Problem 10-18 Return on Investment (ROI) and Residual Income [LO10-1, LO10-2] "I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line," said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown." Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for this year are given below: Sales $ 10,000,000 Variable expenses 6,000,000 Contribution margin 4,000,000 Fixed expenses 3,200,000 Net operating income $ 800,000 Divisional average operating assets $ 4,000,000 The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 15% this year (considering all divisions). Next year the Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an additional investment that would increase average operating assets by $1,000,000. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be: Sales $2,000,000 Variable expenses 60% of sales Fixed expenses $640,000
Solution :
Income on new line
Contribution (2,000,00 x40%) 800,000
Less fixed expense - 640,000
Net operating income 160,000

Margin 8% 8% 8%
ROI 20.00% 16.00% 19.20%
Residual income = net operating income - (average assets x minimum rate or return)
Particulars Present New line Total
Operating assets 4,000,000 1,000,000 5,000,000
Minimum required return 12 % 12 % 12 %
Min net operating income 480,000 120,000 600,000

Residual income 320,000 40,000 360,000
Return on investment is the profitability or the performance measurement tool that determines the percentage of returns being gained from total investments. It determines the efficiency of the investment and its project to generate higher returns from its operations.
The residual income is the net income in the hands of the business after the payment of all operating and nonoperating expenses and other payments.
The total return on investment inclusive of the present and the new line is 19.20%.
The total residual income is $360,000.
The computation of the return on investment is computed in the table attached below.
The formula for determining the residual income is:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Residual Income}&=\text{Net Operating Income}-\left(\text{Average assets}\times\text{Minimum Rate of Return} \right ) \end{aligned}[/tex]
The entire computation of the residual income is attached in the image below.

At the present time, Andalusian Limited (AL) has 5-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,438.04 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 14%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 35%. If AL wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)? (Note: Round your YTM rate to two decimal place.)
Answer:
2.69%
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Face value (FV) = $1,000
Time period = 5 years
Present Value (PV) = $1,438.04
Coupon rate = 14%
Payment (pmt) = 14% × $1,000 = $140
So, by using excel function find YTM, we get
YTM = 4.13%
So, After Tax cost = Rate ( 1 - tax rate)
= 4.13% ( 1 - 35%)
= 4.13% × 65%
= 2.685% or 2.69%
