Answer the question on the basis of the following cost data.
Output Average Fixed Cost Average Variable Cost
1 $50.00 $100.00
2 25.00 80.00
3 16.67 66.67
4 12.50 65.00
5 10.00 68.00
6 8.37 73.33
7 7.14 80.00
8 6.25 87.50
The marginal cost curve would intersect the average variable cost curve at about: ____________
a. 2 units of output.
b. 4 units of output.
c. 6 units of output.
d. 7 units of output.
Answer:
b. 4 units of output
Explanation:
MC and AVC have the following relationship:
a. MC is above AVC when AVC is rising
b. MC is below AVC when AVC is falling
c. MC = AVC when AVC is at its minimum
Thus, MC would intersect the AVC curve at its minimum point. Since AVC is minimum at 4 units of output equal to 65. It means MC intersects AVC at 4 units of output.
Are monopolistically competitive firms efficient in long-run equilibrium? Monopolistically competitive firms A. are productively efficient because they produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is equal to marginal revenue. B. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum marginal cost and they are allocatively efficient because they produce where price is equal to marginal revenue. C. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum marginal cost and they are allocatively efficient because they produce where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. D. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost. E. are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is less than marginal cost.
Answer:
E)are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition can be regarded as imperfect competition whereby many producers that are competing against each other exist in the market, though they are selling products which can be differentiated from one another. Monopolistically competitive firms do
maximize their profit if their production is at a level where marginal costs as well as its marginal revenues equals. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
Exercise 11-7 Sell or Process Further Decisions [LO11-7] Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $300,000 per quarter. For financial reporting purposes, the company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their relative sales value at the split-off point. Unit selling prices and total output at the split-off point are as follows: Product Selling Price Quarterly Output A $ 10.00 per pound 11,000 pounds B $ 4.00 per pound 17,300 pounds C $ 16.00 per gallon 2,200 gallons Each product can be processed further after the split-off point. Additional processing requires no special facilities. The additional processing costs (per quarter) and unit selling prices after further processing are given below: Product Additional Processing Costs Selling Price A $ 48,250 $ 14.10 per pound B $ 68,055 $ 9.10 per pound C $ 23,780 $ 23.10 per gallon Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing each of the three products beyond the split-off point
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing each of the three products beyond the split-off point is calculated below:
For product A:
Selling price after further processing = $14.10
Selling price at the split-off point = $10.00
Incremental revenue per pound = $4.10
Total quarterly output in pounds = 11000
Total incremental revenue = 45100
Total incremental processing costs = 48250
Financial (disadvantage) = (3150)
For product B:
Selling price after further processing = $9.10
Selling price at the split-off point = $4.00
Incremental revenue per pound = $5.10
Total quarterly output in pounds = 17300
Total incremental revenue = 88230
Total incremental processing costs = 68055
Financial advantage = 20175
For product C:
Selling price after further processing = $23.10
Selling price at the split-off point = $16.00
Incremental revenue per pound = $7.10
Total quarterly output in pounds = 2200
Total incremental revenue = 15620
Total incremental processing costs = 23780
Financial (disadvantage) = (8160)

Suppose 5 years have gone by and the company has to make a decision on how to move forward. It can either pay out all earnings as dividends without considering any growth opportunities or choose a growth strategy where the company will expand into new lines of business in global markets. If the management chooses this strategy, the payout ratio will be reduced down to 20% from 35%, and the company will be able to maintain a growth rate of 7% forever. Which strategy should the management choose to maximize shareholder value
Answer:
The management should choose the growth strategy. It is always more rewarding and maximizes the shareholder value better than embarking on a payout strategy.
Explanation:
Choosing a payout strategy, which does not ensure growth, is not sustainable and does not maximize shareholder value. Business expansion through market penetration, product development, market expansion, and diversification ensures business growth and maximizes shareholder wealth, enabling the company to pay out more in dividends stretched over longer streams.
Frasquita acquired equipment from the manufacturer on 6/30/2021 and gave a noninterest-bearing note in exchange. Frasquita is obligated to pay $550,000 on 4/30/2022 to satisfy the obligation in full. If Frasquita accrued interest of $15,000 on the note in its 2021 year-end financial statements, what amount would it have recorded the equipment for on 6/30/2021
Answer:
$525,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount would it have recorded the equipment for on 6/30/2021
First step is to calculate the total interest for 10 months;
Based on the information given since the amount of $15,000 was the interest for 6 months in the year 2021 in which the note lasted for 10 months the total interest will be:
Total Interest = 10months/6months x $15,000 Total Interest=$25,000
Now let calculate 6/30/2021 Equipment
6/30/2021 Equipment=$550,000-$25,000
6/30/2021 Equipment=$525,000
Therefore what amount would it have recorded the equipment for on 6/30/2021 is $525,000
ando Company incurs a $10.00 per unit cost for Product A, which it currently manufactures and sells for $13.50 per unit. Instead of manufacturing and selling this product, the company can purchase it for $5.00 per unit and sell it for $11.90 per unit. If it does so, unit sales would remain unchanged and $5.00 of the $10.00 per unit costs of Product A would be eliminated. 1. Prepare Incremental cost analysis. Should the company continue to manufacture Product A or purchase it for resale

a1: January 31, 2016 Current ratio 1.357
February 1, 2015 1.358
a2: Quick ratio January 31, 2016 0.414
February 1, 2015 0.375
a3: Working capital January 31, 2016 4,467
February 1, 2015 4,033.
a4: % change in working capital in 2016 10.76%
% change in working capital in 2015 -10.97%
a5: % change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 28.61%
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 -10.68%
Explanation:
a1. Computation for Current ratio using this formula
Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.
Let plug in the formula
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = 16993/12526
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = = 1.357
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 15302/11269
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 1.358
a2. Computation for Quick ratio using this formula
Quick ratio = (Total current assets – inventory – prepaid expenses)/current liabilities.
Let plug in the formula
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = (16993-11809)/12526
Ratio for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016= 0.414
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = (15302-11079)/11269
Ratio for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 0.375
a3. Computation for Working capital using this formula
Working capital = current assets – current liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Working capital for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016 = 16993-12526
Working capital for fiscal year ending January 31, 2016= 4,467.
Working capital for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015 = 15302-11269
Working capital for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2015= 4,033.
a4. Computation for % change in working capital in 2016 from prior year
% change in working capital in 2016 from prior year = (4467-4033)/4033
% change in working capital in 2016 from prior year = 10.76%
% change in working capital in 2015 from prior year = (4033-4530)/4530
% change in working capital in 2015 from prior year = -10.97%
a5. Computation for % change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year= (2216-1723)/1723
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2016 from prior year= 28.61%
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 from prior year = (1723-1929)/1929
% change in cash and cash equivalents in 2015 from prior year= -10.68%

it upsets the balance
Woolsey Corporation, a US company, expects to sell gods to a foreign customer at a price of 250,000 FC, with delivery and payment to be made on October 24, 2020. On July 24, 2020, Woolsey purchased a three-month put option for 250,000 FC and designated this option as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign currency transaction expected to be completed in late October 2020. Assume that the transaction occurs on October 24, 2020 as expected. The option cost $4,000 and has a strike price of $2.17 per FC. The following spot exchange rates apply:
Answer:
$10,000 positive.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be included is shown below:
= (Option strike price - spot rate) × purchased put options
= ($2.17 - $2.13) × 250,000
= $10,000
As the spot rate is less than the strike price so automatically there is a gain of $10,000:
"Which of the following is true? Airfreight A. has lower transporting rates than trucks. B. efficiently delivers all types of goods. C. serves many more locations than trucks. D. is best for goods that are heavy relative to their sales value, such as iron ore. E. can help reduce inventory costs."
Answer:
E. can help reduce inventory costs.
Explanation:
Airfreight can be defined as the transportation or movement of goods from one location to another through the air and use of shipping containers.
A shipping container refers to a metal container made from steel and having the ability or strength to withstand all external factors during shipment or storage of materials. It is an essential part of transportation of goods or materials from one location to another, thereby boosting trade between countries.
The various types of shipping containers are, dry storage container, open-side storage container, ISO Reefer container, flat rack container, tunnel container, open top container, double doors container, thermal containers, intermodal freight container etc.
An inventory cost can be defined as all costs such as carrying cost, stock out (shortage) cost and ordering cost that are associated with the procurement, holding (storage) and management (handling) of inventory.
Generally, airfreight can help to reduce the total logistics cost or inventory cost since it's faster, large and devoid of various impediments when compared with other forms of transportation.
Hence, the true statement about airfreight is that it can help reduce inventory costs.

There are some excellent free personal finance apps available: Mint, GoodBudget, Mvelopes, BillGuard, PocketExpense, HomeBudget, and Expensify. After using Mint, you realize you need to pay off one of your high interest loans to reduce your interest expense. You decide to discount a $5,250, 345-day note at 3% to your bank at a discount rate of 4.5% on day 210. What are your proceeds
Answer: $5309.86
Explanation:
The proceeds will be calculated as:
Face value of note = $5250
Interest rate = 3%
Note tenure = 345
Number of days used = 360
Outstanding interest on note = $5250 × 3% × 345/360 = $150.94
Gross Proceeds = $5250 + $150.94 = $5400.94
Bank Discount rate = 4.5%
Discounting days = 210
Time if maturity left = 345 - 210 = 135
Discount rate for 135 days = 4.5%/360 × 135 = 1.69%
Discount value = $5400 × 1.69% = $91.14
Net proceeds after discount = $5400 - $91.14 = $5309.86

Assuming that the underlying demand relation is a linear function of price and income, use your spreadsheet program to obtain least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews. Instruction:
If the estimate is negative, enter a negative number (-) in the equation.
Answer:
The least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews is Quantity = 1.57Price + 14.00Income.
Explanation:
Note: See Sheet1 of the attached excel for the replication of the data given in the question and Sheet2 for the regression analysis output.
In the third table in the Sheet2, the second column is for the coefficients where, by rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price = 1.57
Income = 14.00
Note: The intercept is 0 because a zero intercept was chosen in the analysi.
Based on the above, the least squares estimates of Ohio’s demand for KBC microbrews can be written as follows:
Quantity = 1.57Price + 14.00Income
To run the regression from Sheet1 in order to obtain the output in Sheet, follow his process:
Click the “Data” menu, and then the “Data Analysis” tab. From the new window, scroll down to find and click on "Regression" and then click “OK”.
In the new window, click in the box of “Input Y Range”, and then select the column containing the Quantity data as the dependent variable. Also in the new window, click in the box of “Input X Range”, and then select the column containing the both Price and Income data as the independent variables. Also, select "Labels", "Confidence level (95%)", and "Constant is Zero". Then click "OK" to obtain the output in Sheet2.
