What will be the nominal rate of return on a perpetual preferred stock with a $100 par value, a stated dividend of 8% of par, and a current market price of (a) $62, (b) $81, (c) $97, and (d) $136
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the risk premium is shown below:-
Rate of return = Dividend ÷ Current market price of preferred stock
The dividend should be
= $100 × 8%
= $8
a Rate of return = $8 ÷ $62
= 12.90%
b. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $81
= 9.88%
c. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $97
= 8.25%
d. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $136
= 5.88%

Company sells a nature guide. The following information was reported for a typical month: Total Per Unit Sales $ 17,600 $ 16.00 Variable expenses 9,680 Contribution margin 7,920 Fixed expenses 3,600 Net operating income $ 4,320 What is Bear's current break-even point in unit and dollars
Answer:
500 units and $8,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Break even point in units
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7,920 ÷ ($17,600 ÷ $16)
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7.2)
= 500 units
Now the break even point in dollars is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= ($3,600) ÷ ($7.2 ÷ $16)
= $3,600 ÷ 0.45
= $8,000
We simply applied the above formula and the same is to be considered
We run a delivery service, and we believe our firm has market risk equally between that of UPS and FedEx. We know the following about these 2 firms:______.
Stock Price per share # shares outstanding Market Value of Debt
UPS $65 0.7 billion $ 5 billion
FedEx $55 250 million $ 3 billion
We also have the following data on the securities of these firms:_______.
Beta E Beta D
UPS 0.8 0
FedEx 1.1 0.1
Assume that our firm has risk-free debt with market value $20 million and equity with market value $450 million. Assume that taxes are not relevant. Please estimate our firm’s equity beta
Answer:
The answer is "0.85 "
Explanation:
In order to locate a beta of the company, we must find the average beta of unlevered UPS and FedEx and find a levered beta of the company.
Price Outstanding shares(Billion) Market valu of equity(Billion) Market value of debt(billions) D/E Ratio
UPS 65 0.7 45.5 5 0.1099
FedEx 55 0.25 13.75 3 0.2182
[tex]Unlevered \ beta= \frac{levered \ beta}{(1+((1- tax rate)\times(\frac{Debt}{Equity})))}[/tex]
taxes desn't matter , given in the question so, assumed to be 0
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ UPS= \frac{0.8}{1+(1-0)\times (0.1099)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{0.8}{1+(1)\times (0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1+(0.1099)}\\\\= \frac{0.8}{1.1099}\\\\=0.72[/tex]
[tex]Unlevered \ beta \ for \ FedEx= \frac{1.1}{1+(1-0)\times (0.2182)}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.1}{1+(1)\times (0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1+(0.2182)}\\\\= \frac{1.1}{1.2182}\\\\=0.90[/tex]
[tex]Average \ Unlevered \ beta = \frac{0.72+0.90}{2}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.62}{2}\\\\=0.81[/tex]
[tex]\text{levered beta of the delivery service firm }= unlevered \ beta \times(1+(1-taxes) \times (\frac{debt}{equity}))[/tex]
[tex]= 0.81 \times (1+(1-0)\times (\frac{20}{450})\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(1)\times (0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1+(0.04)\\\\= 0.81 \times (1.04)\\\\=0.85[/tex]
Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $2. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $4. In year 3, the quantity produced is 7 bars and the price is $6.
Required:
Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.
Answer:
Nominal GDP in year 1 = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = $42
Real GDP in year 1 = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = $14
GDP deflator in year 1 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = 300
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP = quantity produced x current year price
Nominal GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $4 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = 7 x $6 = $42
Real GDP = quantity produced x base year price
Real GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = 5 x $2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = 7 x $2 = $14
GDP deflator = nominal GDP / Real GDP x 100
GDP deflator in year 1 = $6 / $6 x 100 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = $20 / $10 x 100= 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = $42 / 14 x 100 = 300
BensonBenson & Company is an architectural firm specializing in home remodeling for private clients and new office buildings for corporate clients. charges customers at a billing rate equal to % of the client's total job cost. A client's total job cost is a combination of (1) professional time spent on the client ( per hour cost of employing each professional) and (2) operating overhead allocated to the client's job. allocates operating overhead to jobs based on professional hours spent on the job. estimates its five professionals will incur a total of 10,000 professional hours working on client jobs during the year.
AllissaAllissa LarsonLarson hired BensonBenson to design her kitchen remodeling. A total of 35 professional hours were incurred on this job. In addition, LarsonLarson's remodeling job required one of the professionals to travel back and forth to her house for a total of 155 miles. The blueprints had to be copied four times because LarsonLarson changed the plans several times. In addition, 14 hours of secretarial time were used lining up the subcontractors for the job.
All operating costs other than professional salaries (travel reimbursements, copy costs, secretarial salaries, office lease, and soforth) can be assigned to the three activities. Total activity costs, cost drivers, and total usage of those cost drivers are estimated as follows:
Activity Total Activity Cost Cost Driver Usage Total Usage by Corporate Clients Total usage by Private Clients

Total operating overhead. . . . $234,000
Required:
a. Calculate the current indirect cost allocation rate per professional hour.
b. Calculate the total amount that would be billed to LarsonLarson given the current costing structure.
c. Calculate the activity cost allocation rates that could be used to allocate operating overhead costs to client jobs.
d. Calculate the amount that would be billed to LarsonLarson using ABC costing.
e. Which type of billing system is more fair to clients? Explain.
Answer:
Benson & Company
a. Current indirect cost allocation rate per professional hour = Total overhead divided by 10,000 professional hours
$234,000/10,000
= $23.40
b. Total amount that would be billed to Larson with the current costing structure:
= $23.40 * 35
= $819.00
c. Overhead Rates based on ABC:
Transport to clients = $0.60 ($9,000/15,000)
Blueprint copying = $35.00 ($35,000/1,000)
Office support = $38.00 ($190,000/5,000)
d. Larson's Job based on ABC:
Transport to clients = $93 ($0.60 * 155)
Blueprint copying = 140 ($35.00 * 4)
Office support = 532 ($38.00 * 14)
Total $765
e. With Benson Company using ABC billing system to charge Larson, the system is fairer to clients generally, because it takes into consideration the volume of each activity consumed per client. Customers are charged based on actual activities consumed, and not based on some arbitrary figures. It is more reflective of the cost structure of the business and offers the best quality service to customers because price is determined by volume of activities.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Professional hours spent on Larson job = 35 hours
Travel = 155 miles
Blueprints copies = 4
Secretarial time = 14 hours
Other operating costs:
Activity Total Activity Cost Driver Total Usage by Total Usage by

Office support 190,000 Secretarial time 2,600 secretarial 2,400 secretarial hours hours
Total operating overhead $234,000
Estimated professional hours = 10,000
Overhead Rate = $23.40
Larson's Job:
Overhead cost = $23.40 * 35 = $819.00
Overhead Rates based on ABC: Larson's Job
Transport to clients = $0.60 $93 ($0.60 * 155)

Allen Air Conditioning manufactures room air conditioners at plants in Houston, Phoenix, and Memphis. These are sent to regional distributors in Dallas, Atlanta, and Denver. The shipping costs vary, and the company would like to find the least-cost way to meet the demands at each of the distribution centers. Dallas needs to receive 800 air conditioners per month, Atlanta needs 600, and Denver needs 200. Houston has 850 air conditioners available each month, Phoenix has 650, and Memphis has 300. The shipping cost per unit from Houston to Dallas is $8, to Atlanta $12, and to Denver $10. The cost per unit from Phoenix to Dallas is $10, to Atlanta $14, and to Denver $9. The cost per unit from Memphis to Dallas is $11, to Atlanta $8, and to Denver $12.
Required:
a. How many units should owner Stephen Allen ship from each plant to each regional distribution center?
b. What is the total transportation cost?
Answer:
$14700
Explanation:
Given that:
i. Dallas needs 800 per month
ii. Atlanta needs 600 per month
iii. Denver needs 200 per month
iv. Houston has 850 available per month
v. Phoenix has 650 available per month
vi. Memphis has 300 available per month
Assuming that a plant can deliver air conditioners to more than one regional distributor in a month. Then;
a. For least-cost way to meet the demand, Stephen Allen could ship the air conditioners to each regional distributors as follows:
From Houston to Dallas = 800 units
From Houston to Atlanta = 50 units
From Phoenix to Atlanta = 250 units
From Memphis to Atlanta = 300 units
From Phoenix to Denver = 200 units
Total units transported = 1600 units
b. Cost per transportation:
Houston to Dallas = $8 x 800 = $6400
Houston to Atlanta = $12 x 50 = $600
Phoenix to Atlanta = $14 x 250 = $3500
Memphis to Atlanta = $8 x 300 = $2400
Phoenix to Denver = $9 x 200 = $1800
Total transportation cost = $6400 +$600 + $3500 + $2400 + $1800
= $14700
The total transportation cost would be $14700.

10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
Answer:
10-13 Given the cost per king-size sheet set above, and assuming the manufacturer has total fixed costs of $500,000 and estimates first year sales will be 50,000 sets, determine the price to consumers if the company desires a 40 percent margin on sales.
variable cost per unit = 28 + 12 + 10 + 3 + 16 + 14 + 5 + 8 + 15 + 30 + 15 = $156
average fixed cost per unit = $500,000 / 50,000 units = $10
total cost per unit = $166
desired profit margin = 40%, so total costs must be 60% of selling price
selling price = $166 / 60% = $276.67 ≈ $277 per unit
10-14 If the company decides to sell through retailers instead of directly to consumers online, to maintain the consumer price you calculated in the previous question, at what price must it sell the product to a wholesaler who then sells it to retailers? Assume wholesalers desire a 10 percent margin and retailers get a 20 percent margin, both based on their respective selling prices.
retailers' margin = $277 x 20% = $55.40
selling price to retailers = $277 - $55.40 = $221.60
wholesalers' margin = $221.60 x 10% = $22.16
selling price to wholesalers = $221.60 - $22.16 = $199.44 per unit
A company has total equity of $2,160, net working capital of $240, long-term debt of $1,070, and current liabilities of $4,500. What is the company's net fixed assets?
Answer:
$2,990
Explanation:
A company's fixed asset consist of its plants and machineries, motor vehicles , buildings etc.
To get the company's net fixed asset, we would subtract the networking capital from total equity and add up long term debt.
Therefore,
Net fixed asset = $2,160 total equity - $240 working capital + $1,070 long term debt
= $2,990
Hence net fixed asset is $2,990
Coronado Industries sells 50000 units for $13 a unit. Fixed costs are $350000 and net income is $100000. What should be reported as variable expenses in the CVP income statement?
Answer:
Total variable cost= $200,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coronado Industries sells 50,000 units for $13 a unit. Fixed costs are $350,000 and net income is $100,000.
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= net income + fixed costs
Total contribution margin= 100,000 + 350,000
Total contribution margin= $450,000
Now, we can calculate the total variable costs:
Total variable cost= Sales - total contribution margin
Total variable cost= 50,000*13 - 450,000
Total variable cost= 200,000

What are the key factor(s) for success in this industry/market
Answer:
Strategic Focus (Leadership, Management, Planning) People (Personnel, Staff, Learning, Development) Operations (Processes, Work) Marketing (Customer Relations, Sales, Responsiveness)
Explanation:
Whether you're operating an established small business or just starting out, an effective, ongoing marketing strategy is vital. But marketing without a plan will not only waste time and money; it may alienate your customers and stall the growth of your business.
To match your marketing strategies to the needs and expectations of your target customers and ensure that your business continues to grow, start by identifying your key success factors.
Key success factors (or KSF) are business strategies that are critical to a successful relationship with your customers.
Key success factors are decided by the needs and preferences of your market and customers, not by your business. However, consumers aren't going to tell you what those KSF are. Discovering your key success factors requires researching your customers to understand who they are, what they want from your company, and what prompts them to make a purchase.
A business generally has three to five key success factors that it needs to focus on to achieve its goals. Key success factors also may relate to areas of weakness that you must overcome to create a stronger relationship with your customers.
Once you understand and begin using your key success factors, they become part of your brand and business style.

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process.
1. The company has amortized the $19.80 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis, since it was acquired at the beginning of 2012.
2. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost.
3. The decision was made at the end of 2016 (before adjusting and closing entries).
What is the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016 to reflect the revised estimate.
(If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).) Record the adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016.

Debiting $1.65 million from Patent Amortization Expense and crediting $1.65 million from Accumulated Patent Amortization would be the adjusting entry.
After the estimate revision, the yearly amortization will be $3.30 million ($19.80 million cost of the patent x 6 years).
Debiting Patent Amortization Expense by $1.65 million and crediting Accumulated Patent Amortization by $1.65 million would be the adjustment item for 2016. The projected useful life of the patent has changed, necessitating an adjustment entry to the annual amortization expense, which is reflected in this item.

You are considering an investment in Justus Corporation’s stock, which is expected to pay a dividend of $2.25 a share at the end of the year (D1 = $2.25) and has a beta of 0.9. The risk-free rate is 4.9%, and the market risk premium is 5%. Justus currently sells for $46.00 a share, and its dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate, g. Assuming the market is in equilibrium, what does the market believe will be the stock price at the end of 3 years? (That is, what is P3 ?)
Answer:
The price 3-years from now will be of $52,50
Explanation:
We solve for g using the Gordon model:
[tex]\frac{divends(1+g)}{Price} = return-growth[/tex]
As we don't know the rate of return we solve ofr that fist using CAPM:
CAPM (Capital Assets Price Model)
[tex]Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)[/tex]
risk free 0.049
market rate 0.099
premium market = market rate - risk free 0.05
beta(non diversifiable risk) 0.9
[tex]Ke= 0.049 + 0.9 (0.05)[/tex]
Ke 0.09400
We plug that in the gordon equation and solve for g:
[tex]\frac{2.25}{Price} = return-growth[/tex]
2.25 = 0.094 x 46 - g x 46
(2.25 - 4.324) / 46 = -g
-0.0450869565217391 = -g
g = 0.045087
In the gordon model the price of the stock increases at the grow rate:
as P = D/(r-g)
P1 = D(1+g)/r-g)
P1 / P = D(1+g)/(r- g) / D/(r- g) = 1 + g
[tex]P_3 = P(1+g)^3 = 46(1+0.045087)^3 = 52.50675369[/tex]

a. What defense will Ragged Mountain probably assert?
b. The central question in this case is whether the state statute establishing that skiers assume the risks inherent in the sport bars Elaine's suit. What would your decision be on this issue? Why?
c. Suppose that the court concludes that the statute applies only to skiing and not to snow tubing. Will Elaine's lawsuit be successful? Explain.
d. Now suppose that the jury concludes that Elaine was partly at fault for the accident. Under what theory might her damages be reduced in proportion to the degree to which her actions contributed to the accident and her resulting injuries?
Explanation:
1. Ragged mountains assertion of defense is 'assumption of risk'. In this scenario, Elaine Sweeney exposed herself to risk while snow tubing at the absence of an instructor. snow tube run is solely for snow tubers. ragged mountain can use this defense
2. new hampshire has prohibited people from suing for injuries received due to skiing risks. in a case of this sort, ms Elaine would be assumed to know all possible risks involved. the defendant will be favored since it has been advised that people should not go into sports of these sorts witout good training and an instructor.
3. no Elaine's lawsuit will not be successful if the conclusion of the court is that the statue applies to skiing and not to snow tubing. one should be cautious during snow tubing. she went snow tubing without proper care. it is likely that she may not win the case.
4. the theory is contributory negligence theory. her damages is going to be reduced in proportion with the actions that has brought about her accident. for this reason she is partly responsible.
The Ragged Mountains were established in the year 1997 and were made to the knowledge of the public in the year 1999.
The mountains included a collection of Charlottesville surrounded by the river basin everywhere with almost the oak and yellowwoods.
1. The 'assumption of risk' defense is used by the Ragged Mountains. Elaine Sweeney put herself in danger while snow tubing in the absence of an instructor in this scenario.
The snow tube run is exclusively for tubers. This defense can be used by the ragged mountain.
2. The state of New Hampshire has made it illegal to sue for injuries sustained while skiing. In a situation like this, it's reasonable to assume that Ms. Elaine is aware of all potential dangers.
The defendant will be favored because it has been suggested that people should not participate in sports of this nature without proper training and supervision.
3. No, Elaine's lawsuit will fail if the court decides that the statute only applies to skiing and not to snow tubing. Snow tubing should be approached with caution.
She went snow tubing without taking the necessary precautions. It is very likely that she will lose the case.
4. Contributory negligence theory is the fourth theory. Her damages will be reduced in direct proportion to the actions that caused her accident. As a result, she bears some responsibility.

A. The taxpayer is Kara Lee, who sold her painting to the Reller Gallery for $6,000.
B. The taxpayer is the Reller Gallery, who sold the painting purchased from Kara to a regular customer for $10,000.
C. The taxpayer is Lollard Inc., the regular customer that purchased the painting from the Reller Gallery. Lollard displayed the painting in the lobby of its corporate headquarters until it sold Shenandoah Skies to a collector from Dallas. The collector paid $45,000 for the painting.
Answer:
a. Kara Lee is the painter so the painting is simply part of her normal business operations in selling it.
Amount is $6,000 and this is a sale.
b. Taxpayer is Reller Gallery who sold the painting as part of their normal business operations.
Profit on Sale = Amount sold - Amount purchased
= 10,000 - 6,000
= $4,000
Amount is $4,000 and the nature is ordinary business income.
c. Lollard Inc sold this painting even though it is not part of their normal operations.

Darnell is buying salad and pizza for a company lunch. Suppose that a bowl of salad costs $4.00, and a slice of pizza costs $2.00. Let E be the amount in dollars that Darnell spends on salad and pizza. If Darnell buys S bowls of salad and P slices of pizza, then the total amount of money he spends ( E ) can be represented by the equation . Now rearrange the equation you wrote above so that P is written in terms of E and S. The quantity of pizza he buys can be represented by the equation . Suppose Darnell has $40.00 to spend on salad and pizza; that is, E=$40.00.
Complete the following table with values of S or P that make the equation true.
To complete the first row, determine the number of pizza slices Paolo can purchase with $40.00, when the number of salad bowls he purchases is 0.
Budget (Dollars) Salad (Bowls) Pizza (Slice)
40.00 0 _____
40.00 4 _____
40.00 _____ 0
Answer:
1. If Darnell buys S bowls of salad and P slices of pizza, then the total amount of money he spends ( E ) can be represented by the equation;
E = 4S + 2P
2. Now rearrange the equation you wrote above so that P is written in terms of E and S. The quantity of pizza he buys can be represented by the equation;
E = 4S + 2P
2P = E - 4S
P = (E - 4S)/2
3. Budget = $40.00. No salad purchased
Pizza = (E - 4S)/2
= (40 - 0)/2
= 20 pizzas
Budget = $40.00. 4 salads purchased
Pizza = (E - 4S)/2
= (40 - 4 * 4)/2
= 12 pizzas
Budget = $40.00. 0 Pizzas.
Salads = 40/4
= 10 salads
The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed long-term debt of $1,420,000, $144,000 in the common stock account, and $2,690,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed long-term debt of $1,620,000, $154,000 in the common stock account and $2,990,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The 2019 income statement showed an interest expense of $96,000 and the company paid out $149,000 in cash dividends during 2019. The firm’s net capital spending for 2019 was $1,000,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $129,000.
Required:
What was the firm's 2019 operating cash flow, or OCF?
Answer:
606,000
Explanation:
Operating cash flow (OCF) is a measure of the amount of cash generated by a company's normal business operations. Operating cash flow indicates whether a company can generate sufficient positive cash flow to maintain and grow its operations, otherwise, it may require external financing for capital expansion
Operating Cashflow = Cashflow from assets + Net capital spending + Change in Net working capital
Operating Cashflow =(-265,000) + (1,000,000) + (-129,000)
Operating Cashflow = 606,000
Working
New borrowings = Long term borrowings (2019) - Long term borrowings (2018)
New borrowings = 1,620,000 - 1,420,000
New borrowings = 200,000
Cash flow to creditors = Interest expense - new borrowings
Cash flow to creditors = 96,000 - 200,000
Cash flow to creditors = 104,000
New equity = ((Common stock(2019) + additional paid in surplus(2019)) - (Common stock(2018) + additional paid in surplus(2018))
New equity = ($154,000 + $2,990,000) - ($144,000 + $2,690,000)
New equity = 3,144,000 - 2,834,000
New equity = 310,000
Cashflow to stockholders = Dividend (2019) - new equity
Cashflow to stockholders = 149,000 - 310,000
Cashflow to stockholder = -161,000
Cashflow from assets = Cashflow to creditors + cashflow to stockolders
Cashflow from assets = (-104,000) + ( - 161,000)
Cashflow from assets = -265,000

Managers should make marketing decisions in the light of their own knowledge and experience instead of viewing research reports as the final answer to their problems because:
a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.
b. decisions based on marketing research reports are highly risky.
c. there is no possibility that marketing research will be affected by researcher bias.
d. marketing research is not a systematic process for obtaining information.
Answer:
a. the number of factors included in a marketing research study are not exhaustive.
Explanation:
Marketing research is highly effective as a tool for guiding marketing decisions, but it is necessary for the manager to rely on making decisions not only through research, but also due to his conceptual skills of seeing the organization in a systematic way, where there is a much greater breadth and more complex factors than just the information found through marketing research. The set of the manager's vision, experiences, analyzes and indicators is important for the most adequate assessment so that organizational marketing decisions are effective and achieve the company's objective.
Therefore, it is correct to state that the number of factors included in a marketing research study is not exhaustive.
You are the manager of a monopoly that faces a demand curve described by P = 85 − 5Q. Your costs are C = 20 + 5Q. The profit-maximizing output for your firm is:
Given:
Price function : P = 85 − 5Q.
Cost function : C = 20 + 5Q.
To find:
The profit-maximizing output for your firm.
Explanation:
Total revenue = Price × Quantity
[tex]TR=P\times Q[/tex]
[tex]TR=(85-5Q)\times Q[/tex]
[tex]TR=85Q-5Q^2[/tex]
Differentiate with respect to quantity.
[tex]\dfrac{d(TR)}{dQ}=85(1)-5(2Q)[/tex]
[tex]MR=85-10Q[/tex]
Cost function is
[tex]C=20+5Q[/tex]
Differentiate with respect to quantity.
[tex]\dfrac{dC}{dQ}=(0)+5(1)[/tex]
[tex]MC=5[/tex]
The profit is maximum if [tex]MR=MC[/tex].
[tex]85-10Q=5[/tex]
[tex]85-5=10Q[/tex]
[tex]80=10Q[/tex]
Divide both sides by 10.
[tex]\dfrac{80}{10}=Q[/tex]
[tex]Q=8[/tex]
Therefore, the profit-maximizing output for the firm is 8 units.
The demand curve is the curve that shows the relationship of demand with its various aspects. The demand curve is the graphical presentation of the shifts that are caused by the aspects of the demand.
The given information are:
Price function : P = 85 − 5Q.
Cost function : C = 20 + 5Q.
Total revenue = Price × Quantity
[tex]TR=P\times Q[/tex]
[tex]TR=(85-5Q)\times Q[/tex]
[tex]TR= 85Q-5Q^{2}[/tex]
Differentiate with respect to quantity.
[tex]\frac{d(TR)}{dQ} =85(1)-5(2Q)\\MR=85-10Q[/tex]
Cost function is=[tex]C=20+5Q[/tex]
Differentiate with respect to quantity.
[tex]\frac{dC}{dQ}=(0)+5(1)\\MC=5[/tex]
The profit is maximum in the firm if: [tex]MR=MC[/tex]
[tex]85-10Q-5\\85-5=10Q\\80=10Q[/tex]
Divide both sides by 10.
[tex]\frac{80}{10}=Q\\Q=8[/tex]
Therefore, the profit-maximizing output for the firm is 8 units.

Adam Holmes is the Processing Manager of Empire Mortgage Company, a firm that processes loan applications for a number of regional builders. Home buying and therefore mortgage processing is a highly seasonal business, and requires temporary staff during busy processing periods. Holmes hires staff on a monthly basis from two different temporary staffing firms - Professional Temps (PT) and Support on Demand (SD). In June, Empire hired 14 staff members from PT and 10 from SD. PT is a more established firm and SD is a newly organized firm in the staffing market. Holmes has compiled the following information for June:
Budgets for June PT staff SD staff
Budgeted hourly rate $50 $45
Budgeted time per app. (hours) 1.2 1.4
Actual results for June PT staff SD staff
Actual hourly rate $52 $47
Actual time per app. (hours) 1.4 1.2
Number of actual apps completed 2604 1600
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate and efficiency variances for (a) 14 PT staff and (b) the SD staff hired in June.
b. Comment on the efficiency of the PT and SD staff hired by Empire Mortgage.
Answer:
a. Labor variances for 14 PT staff:
Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)
= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604
= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate
= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50
= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50
= $26,040 (Unfavorable)
Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance
= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)
= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)
Labor variances for 10 SD staff:
Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)
= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600
= $3840 (Unfavorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate
= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45
= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45
= $14,400 (Favorable)
Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance
= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)
= $10,560 (Favorable)
