Copper and nickel electroless plating processes are under consideration for printed circuit boards. The copper process has fixed costs of $110,000 per year with a variable cost of $50 per batch. The nickel process has a fixed cost of $85,000 per year and a variable cost of $90 per batch. Determine the number of batches that must be produced each year in order for the processes to break even.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The question has missing sales price information, however explanations are provided below

Break even point is the level at which a company makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

Step 1 :

Find Contribution per unit of each process and add the unit contributions to find the total unit contribution

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

Step 2

Find the Total Fixed Costs for both the  copper process and nickel process.

Step 3

Determine the sales mix for copper process and nickel process

Step 4

Calculate the Break even units for the 2 processes combined. After that multiply the respective mixes to the break even point

Which one of the following statements is TRUE? a. If a company has a classified board, fewer board seats are filled each year. b. A classified board is one in which an announcement requesting applications for board members appears in the newspaper. c. One tool of corporate governance is choosing a good investment banker. d. A classified board is one in which the board members serve anonymously. e. In a classified board, it is easier for dissidents to gain representation since fewer seats are up for election each year.

Answers

Answer:

The true statement about a classified board is:

a. If a company has a classified board, fewer board seats are filled each year.

Explanation:

If Company A has a classified board of directors, it implies that it has a structure that enthrones continuity and stability, enables some portion of the directors to be elected each year, and ensures that different directors have different terms to serve the company.  Depending on their classifications, some directors serve one or two years, some three or four years, some five or six years, and others servicing seven or eight years.  This type of structured board staggers the board membership, helping to save the company from unintended takeover bids, and ensuring stability and continuity.

Blues Inc. manufactures jeans in the cutting and sewing process. Jeans are manufactured in 40-jean batch sizes. The cutting time is 5 minutes per jean. The sewing time is 20 minutes per jean. It takes 2 minutes to move a batch of jeans from cutting to sewing. a. Compute the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead time of this process. Value-added lead time fill in the blank 1 minutes Non-value-added lead time fill in the blank 2 minutes Total lead time fill in the blank 3 minutes b. Compute the value-added ratio. Round to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

a. Value added time = Cutting time + Sewing time

Value added time = 5 minutes + 20 minutes

Value added time = 25 minutes

Non-value added time = Total within batch wait time + Move time

Non-value added time = [25 minutes * (40 - 1) + 2 minutes

Non-value added time = 977 minutes

Total lead time = Value added time + Non-value added time

Total lead time = 25 minutes + 977 minutes

Total lead time = 1,002 minutes

b. Value added ratio = Value added time / Total lead time

Value added ratio = 25 minutes / 1,002 minutes

Value added ratio = 0.02495

Value added ratio = 2.5%

The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.

Answers

Answer:

Preferred dividend calculation:

= Percentage return * Par Value * number of shares

a. The semiannual dividend on 6% cumulative preferred, $62 par value, 8,200 shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.

= 6% * 62 * 8,200 * 1/2 years

= $‭15,252‬

b. The annual dividend on $2.25 cumulative preferred, 130,000 shares authorized, 78,000 shares issued, 68,900 shares outstanding. Last year's dividend has not been paid.

In this case, last year's dividend was not paid and this is a cumulative preferred stock so the dividend will be accrued from last year and paid this year.

= Preferred dividend * 2 years

= (2.25 * 68,900 shares outstanding) * 2

= $‭310,050‬

c. The quarterly dividend on 10.0% cumulative preferred, $90 stated value, $106 liquidating value, 78,000 shares authorized, 67,600 shares issued and outstanding. No dividends are in arrears.

= 10% * 90 * 67,600 * 1/4 years

= $152,775

Determine which one of these three portfolios dominates another. Name the dominated portfolio and the portfolio that dominates it. Portfolio Blue has an expected return of 13 percent and risk of 17 percent. The expected return and risk of portfolio Yellow are 19 percent and 15 percent, and for the Purple portfolio are 18 percent and 22 percent. multiple choicePortfolio Purple dominates portfolios Blue and Yellow.Portfolio Blue dominates portfolios Yellow and Purple.Portfolio Yellow dominates portfolios Blue and Purple.

Answers

Answer: Yellow dominates portfolios Blue and Purple.

Explanation:

Portfolio Yellow has a higher expected return than either portfolio Blue or Portfolio Purple which means that if we were evaluating the portfolios on return alone, Portfolio Yellow would dominate the other two.

However, we need to adjust for risk. The portfolio with the lowest standard deviation is the less riskier one of the three. That portfolio is Yellow which means that Yellow has both a higher expected return and a lower risk. It would therefore dominate the rest.

Mrs. Eller's corporate employer has a cafeteria plan under which its employees can receive a $3,000 year-end Christmas bonus or enroll in a qualified medical reimbursement plan that pays up to $3,000 of annual medical bills. Mrs. Eller is in a 24 percent tax bracket, and her medical bills average $2,300 each year.
a. Should Mrs. Eller choose the cash bonus or the nontaxable fringe benefit? (Ignore any payroll tax implications.)
b. Does your answer change if Mrs. Eller is in the 12 percent tax bracket?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below;

Cash bonus after tax is ($3,000 × (1 - 0.24) $2,280

And, non taxable fringe benefit is $2,300

So here he should use the nontaxable fringe benefit

b. Yes answer would be changed

Cash bonus after tax is ($3,000 × (1 - 0.12) $2,640

And, non taxable fringe benefit is $2,300

Turnbull Co. is considering a project that requires an initial investment of $1,708,000. The firm will raise the $1,708,000 in capital by issuing $750,000 of debt at a before-tax cost of 11.1%, $78,000 of preferred stock at a cost of 12.2%, and $880,000 of equity at a cost of 14.7%. The firm faces a tax rate of 40%. What will be the WACC for this project

Answers

Answer:

11.06%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What will be the WACC for this project

First step is to calculate the Weight of Debt

Weight of Debt = $750,000 / $1,708,000

Weight of Debt = 0.4391

Second step is to calculate the Weight of Preferred Stock

Weight of Preferred Stock = $78,000 / $1,708,000

Weight of Preferred Stock = 0.0457

Third step is to calculate the Weight of Equity

Weight of Equity = $880,000 / $1,708,000

Weight of Equity = 0.5152

Fourth step is to calculate After Tax Cost of Debt

After Tax Cost of Debt = 11.1% * (1 – 0.40)

After Tax Cost of Debt = 6.66%

Now let calculate WACC using this formula

WACC = (Weight of Debt * After Tax Cost of Debt) + (Weight of Preferred Stock * Cost of Preferred Stock) + (Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity)

Let plug in the formula

WACC = (0.4391 * 0.0666) + (0.0457 * 0.1220) + (0.5152 * 0.1470)

WACC = 0.02924406+0.0055754+0.0757344

WACC =0.1106*100

WACC =11.06%

Geralt of Rivia is an independent contractor who specializes in monster-killing. His unique skills have earned him the bargaining power to sell his services at a high price to those willing to pay for the removal of infestations of fire elementals, rock trolls, royal wyverns, or the like. Geralt specializes only in hard-to-kill monsters, however, leaving the likes of basiliks and harpies, monsters lower on the totem pole, to less sophisticated monster slayers.
Given these facts, based on the Generic Business Strategies framework, we might say that Geralt occupies the_______ (1) quadrant of the framework.
When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a/n _______(2)
Geralt often buys potions and elixirs from various alchemists to help his fighting ability. However, he can make these potions and elixirs himself if he has the time. If he were to do this instead of buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of________ (3)
When Geralt takes a contract, it usually requires about a week of planning and preparation, which includes trips to the armorer, time spent making alchemical concoctions that protect him during the confrontation with the monster(s), and the staking out of ideal fighting ground when the battle occurs. As such, Geralt ofter has to choose between contracts, sometimes accepting one contract while forgoing the opportunity to pursue another contract. As we have discussed, this decision constitutes a_________ (4).
Now, let's say that Geralt is governed by a neutral "Council of Witchers" that ensure that those who purchase Geralt's services (e.g., rich villages or principalities plagued by monster infestations) are well-served, and that Geralt spends their gold in ways that work toward the removal of the targeted monsters which these clients have paid to have removed.
We might say that this "Council" serves as Geralt's role in this arrangement. Geralt, in turn, serves as the ______(5) and that the purchasers of Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the________ (6) in this arrangement. х (1) differentiation (2) buyer х (3) forward integration (4) tradeoff (5) management х (6) party __________(7) agent

Answer: 1. Differentiation focus

2. Buyer

3. Backward Integration

4. Trade off

5. Board of directors

6. Principal

7. Agent

Explanation:

1. Geralt is using Differentiation focus strategy as it gives the customers a product which they believe is superior than other similar products although the price if the product is higher than others. The product is unique from other products.

2. When Geralt takes a contract from a rich village seeking his aid, they represent a buyer.

3. If Geralt makes the potions and elixirs himself if he has the time rather than buying from the alchemists, this would constitute a form of backward integration. This is because he's expanding his role by taking up a task that's being completed previously in the supply chain.

4. Since Geralt has to choose between contracts, this is a trade off. Trade occurs when we've to choose between alternatives. In this case, we forgo some at the expense of others.

5. Based in the information given, Geralt serves as the board of director.

6. Those who buy Geralt's services, such as rich villages, represent the Principal.

7. Geralt serves as the agent. He's the one negotiating contracts and supplying what's needed.

Answers

Answer:

too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.

Explanation:

Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.

The four factors of production are;

I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.

II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.

III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.

IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).

These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.

Circular flow model is an economic model that is used by economists to show or demonstrate how money, goods and services move from one economic agent to another such as producer, workers, wholesaler, retailer and consumers (households).

An efficient private provision of pure public goods is difficult because too little will be demanded as, individually, consumers choose not to pay the full cost of units of the good.

If Apple uses the variable cost method to set selling prices and plans a markup of 200% of variable costs, what is the expected selling price per unit of this new phone? 2.

Assume Apple is designing a new smartphone. Each unit of this new phone is expected to require $230 of direct materials, $10 of direct labor, $20 of variable overhead, and $20 of variable selling and administrative costs.

Answer:

Apple

1. The expected selling price per unit of this new phone is:

= $860.

2. Apple's target cost if the company desires a profit of 60% of the sales price is:

= $320.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Method of setting prices = 200% Markup on Variable Cost

Direct materials cost per unit =                              $230

Direct labor cost per unit =                                        $10

Variable overhead cost per unit =                            $20

Variable selling and administrative cost per unit = $20

Total variable cost =                                                $280

Markup =                                                                 $560

Expected selling price =                                         $840

Selling price per unit =         $800

Target profit of sales price = 480

Target cost =                        $320

= $800 * (100 - 60)

= $320

Haver Company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 69,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 9.00 Overhead 10.00 Total costs per unit $ 24.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 69,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit. Required: 1. Determine the total incremental cost of making 69,000 units of RX5. 2. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 69,000 units of RX5. 3. Should the company make or buy RX5

Answers

Answer:

It is cheaper to make the units in-house. The company will save $207,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Production:

Direct materials $ 5.00

Direct labor 9.00

Varaible overhead= 10 - 8= $2

Total fixed overhead= (10*0.8)*69,000= $621,000

Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable.

Overhead is 80% fixed.

An outside supplier has offered to supply the 69,000 units of RX5 for $19.00 per unit.

I will assume that none of the fixed overhead is avoidable.

First, we need to calculate the incremental cost of making 69,000 units. As it is incremental, we will take into account only the variable costs:

Make in-house:

Total variable cost= 69,000*(5 + 9 + 2)= $1,104,000

Now, the total cost of buying:

Buy:

Total cost= 69,000*19= $1,311,000

It is cheaper to make the units in-house. The company will save $207,000.

In a competitive economy, firms pay a real wage (W/P) equal to the marginal product of labor (MPL) and a real rental rate (R/P) equal to the marginal product of capital (MPK). Note that the total income of labor is equal to the product of the real wage and the total quantity of labor employed. Likewise, the total income of capital is equal to the product of the real rental rate and the total quantity of capital employed. Use this information to answer the following questions.
a. The marginal product of labor (MPL) can be expressed as______ and _______the marginal product of capital (MPK) can be expressed as _______.

Answers

Answer:

hello your question has some missing information attached below is the missing information

answer :

MPL = ( 1 - ∝ ) Y/L

MPK = ( ∝ ) Y/K

Explanation:

Given that : y = AK^∝ L^1-∝

The marginal product of labor can be expresses as :

MPL =   dy/dL = AK^∝ ( 1 - ∝ ) L^ 1-∝-1

         = ( 1 - ∝ ) [ A K^∝ L^-∝ ]

hence MPL = ( 1 - ∝ ) Y/L

The marginal product of capital can be expressed as :

MPK = A ∝ K^∝-1  L^ 1-∝

        = ∝/K [ A k^∝ L^1-∝

        = ∝/K * Y ∴ MPK = ( ∝ ) Y/K

Henry, Luther, and Gage are dissolving their partnership. Their partnership agreement allocates each partner 1/3 of all income and losses. The current period's ending capital account balances are Henry, $45,000; Luther, $37,000; and Gage, $(5,000). After all assets are sold and liabilities are paid, there is $77,000 in cash to be distributed. Gage is unable to pay the deficiency. What amount of cash will Gage receive upon liquidation

Answers

Answer: b. Debit Henry, Capital $42,500; debit Luther, Capital $34,500; credit Cash $77,000. Debit Henry, Capital $45,000; debit Luther, Capital $37,000; credit Gage, Capital $5,000; credit Cash $77,000.

Explanation:

The deficiency will apportioned to Henry and Luther equally.

Henry capital becomes = 45,000 - 2,500 = $42,500

Luther capital becomes = 37,000 - 2,500 = $34,500

The $77,000 will then be debited to their capital accounts to recognize the balance left in their accounts:

= 42,500 + 34,500

= $77,000

Credit Gage for $5,000 to recognize that Henry and Luther paid off the deficiency.

b. Absorption Costing Income Statement

                             January               February                  March

Sales Revenue            $4,550,000           $4,812,500         $5,092,500

Cost of goods sold        1,690,000              1,795,750               1,881,315

Gross profit                 $2,860,000           $3,016,750            $3,211,185

Total operating costs    1,062,500               1,116,875               1,174,875

Net operating income $1,797,500           $1,899,875           $2,036,310

2. The difference in the operating incomes for January, February, and March under variable costing and absorption costing is due to the way the fixed cost per month is accounted for in cost of goods sold and ending inventory.  With variable costing, all variable costs are included, while absorption includes both variable and fixed manufacturing costs. This makes the ending inventory of variable costing to be carried forward to the next period while absorption costing includes every fixed cost as period costs.

Which of the following is true? In a one-shot game, a collusive strategy always represents a Nash equilibrium. A subgame perfect equilibrium occurs when each player is doing the best he can regardless of what the other player is doing. Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium. Correct! Every subgame perfect equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium.

Answers

Answer: Each Nash equilibrium is a subgame perfect equilibrium.

Explanation:

The Nash Equilibrium in a game is the outcome of which neither of the players would want to deviate from because they are making the highest payoff that they can given the other player's possible choice and leaving this outcome would result in a lower payoff.

In every subgame that is based on the original game therefore, the Nash equilibrium represents the perfect equilibrium for the players as it is giving the highest payoff given the circumstances.

Chevron Phillips (CP) has put into place new laboratory equipment for the production of chemicals; the cost is $1,770,000 installed. CP borrows 48% of all capital needed, and the borrowing rate is 13.4%. In the 1st year, 25% of the principal borrowed will be paid back. The throughput rate for in-process test samples has increased the capacity of the lab, saving a net of $X per year. In this 1st year, depreciation is $362,000 and taxable income is $329,000.

Required:
a. What is the gross income or annual savings?
b. Determine the income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40%.
c. What is the after-tax cash flow for the 1st year?

Answers

Answer:

Chevron Phillips (CP)

a. The gross income or annual savings is:

= $804,846.

b. The income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40% is:

= $131,600.

c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:

= $559,400.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000

Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)

Borrowing rate = 13.4%

Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846

Depreciation = $362,000

Taxable income = $329,000

Gross savings = $X

$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)

Income tax for the 1st year:

Marginal tax rate = 40%

Taxable income = $329,000

= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)

After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:

Gross savings =    $804,846

Interest expense      113,846

Depreciation          362,000

Taxable income  $329,000

Income tax              131,600

Net income          $197,400

Cash Flows:

Net income               $197,400

Depreciation             362,000

After-tax cash flow $559,400

Alamo Power historically allocates IDC for its safety program to generation facilities in Cities A and B based on the number of employees. Last year, $300,000 was distributed and the employee count was 840 in city A and 450 in city B. Implementation of the ABC method took place this year to allocate IDC on the basis of number of accidents. City A reported 345 events and city B had 142 accidents reported.

City A:________
City B: _______

Answers

Answer:

Alamo Power

Allocation of IDC cost based on the number of employees:

City A = $195,349

City B = $104,651

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

IDC cost = $300,000

                                   City A   City B    Total

Employee count          840      450      1,290

Number of accidents  345       142        487

Allocation of IDC cost based on the number of employees:

City A = 840/1,290 * $300,000 = $195,349

City B = 450/1,290 * $300,000 = $104,651

Total cost allocated =                  $300,000

Allocation of IDC cost based on the number of accidents:

City A = 345/487 * $300,000 = $212,526

City B = 142/487 * $300,000 =    $87,474

Answers

Answer:

As the price level rises, the purchasing power of households' real wealth will fall, causing the quantity of output demand to fall. This phenomenon is known as the wealth effect.

Additionally, as the price level rises, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to rise in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreign (exports) will therefore fall, and the number of foreign products purchases by domestic consumers and firms(imports) will rise.

Net exports will therefore fall, causing the quantity of domestic output demanded to fall. This phenomenon is known as the exchange rate effect.

A lot of fluctuations is often seen in prices of goods. As the price level falls, the purchasing power of households' real wealth will rise, causing the quantity of output demanded to rise. This phenomenon is known as the wealth effect.

Additionally, as the price level falls, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to fall, in foreign exchange markets.

The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will therefore rise, and the number of foreign  products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports) will fall.

Net exports will therefore rise, causing the quantity of domestic output demanded to rise. This phenomenon is known as the exchange effect.
