Epsilon currently pays $76 per unit to buy a part for a product it sells. Epsilon has excess capacity, and estimates that making the part would incur variable costs of $8 for direct materials and $40 for direct labor. Epsilon's normal predetermined overhead rate is 150% of direct labor cost, but management computes an incremental overhead rate of $16.00 per unit to make this part. Epsilon should choose to:___.
A. Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $82 per unit.
B. Make since the relevant cost to make it is $61.20 per unit.
C. Buy since the relevant cost to make it is more than $74.00 per unit.

Answers

Answer 1

Buying price= $76

Make in-house:

Direct material= $8

Direct labor= $40

An oligopolistic market structure is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is difficult entry because barriers are significant. What are some other characteristics of this market structure? Check all that apply. Market control by a few large firms Either homogeneous or differentiated products Interdependence among firms Neither interdependence nor dependence among firms Market control by many small firms

Answers

Answer:

Market control by a few large firms Either homogeneous or differentiated products Interdependence among firms

Explanation:

An Oligopolistic market structure is very concentrated which means that it is controlled by a few large firms who can decide to collude to influence market prices.

There is interdependence among the firms as the pricing decision of one firm affects the rest because it could either increase or decrease the market share that each firm enjoys. e.g. if one firm charges a lower price and the other firms don't, the lower price company will gain market share.

The goods sold in this market are either homogeneous or differentiated products which is why there is so much interdependence because products can be substituted.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. Suppose you are managing a stock portfolio, and you have information that leads you to believe the stock market is likely to be very strong in the immediate future. That is, you are convinced that the market is about to rise sharply. You should sell your high-beta stocks and buy low-beta stocks in order to take advantage of the expected market move.
b. Collections Inc. is in the business of collecting past-due accounts for other companies, i.e., it is a collection agency. Collections' revenues, profits, and stock price tend to rise during recessions. This suggests that Collections Inc.'s beta should be quite high, say 2.0, because it does so much better than most other companies when the economy is weak.
c. Suppose the returns on two stocks are negatively correlated. One has a beta of 1.2 as determined in a regression analysis using data for the last 5 years, while the other has a beta of %u22120.6. The returns on the stock with the negative beta must have been negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks during that 5-year period.
d. If the market risk premium remains constant, but the risk-free rate declines, then the required returns on low-beta stocks will rise while those on high-beta stocks will decline.
e. You think that investor sentiment is about to change, and investors are about to become more risk averse. This suggests that you should rebalance your portfolio to include more high-beta stocks

Answers

Answer: C. Suppose the returns on two stocks are negatively correlated. One has a beta of 1.2 as determined in a regression analysis using data for the last 5 years, while the other has a beta of %u22120.6. The returns on the stock with the negative beta must have been negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks during that 5-year period.

Explanation:

From the options given, the correct option is option C "Suppose the returns on two stocks are negatively correlated. One has a beta of 1.2 as determined in a regression analysis using data for the last 5 years, while the other has a beta of %u22120.6. The returns on the stock with the negative beta must have been negatively correlated with returns on most other stocks during that 5-year period".

Option A is wrong because when there is information that a particular stock will be strong in the future, one should not sell your high-beta stocks and buy low-beta stocks rather the low best stocks should be sold and high beta stocks should be bought.

Option B is wrong because during recession, collections' revenues, profits, and stock price tend to fall and not rise. During recession, there is decrease in economic growth, unemployment and other negative effects in the economy.

Option D and E are wrong as well as the reverse is the case in both situations. The correct option is C.

Strategic trade policy Suppose there are only two producers of aircraft in the world, AirCraft in the United States and AirEurope in the European Union. The following hypothetical payoff matrices show the profits (in millions of dollars) for each company. In the absence of subsidies, if only one company makes aircraft, it receives a profit of $90 million. If both companies decide to produce, they each lose $2 million, when a company decides not to produce, it earns zero profit.
Air Europe
Produce Not Produce
AirCraft Produce 2,-2 90,0
Not Produce 0,90 0, 0
Suppose that the European Union considers aircraft a strategic industry and gives AirEurope a $9 million subsidy if it produces
Fill in the cells of the following payoff matrix to reflect the $9 million subsidy
AirEurope
Produce Not Produce
AirCraft Produce
Not Produce
With a $9 million subsidy, regardless of whether AirCraft produces or not, AirEurope----------- produce if it wants to maximize its profit.
Because AirEurope will enter the market if given a $9 million subsidy, AirCraft should also produce in this industry.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

Air Europe should produce aircrafts

a. True

Explanation:

Air Europe has payoff matrix which will maximize the profits if it chooses to produce air crafts. The airline will be able to earn 90 million if it chooses to produces and will loose 2 million if chooses not to produce. There is subsidy of $9 million which is a plus for Air Europe therefore it should produce aircrafts.

b. $990.
c. $6,500.
d. $690.
e. $1,020.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine setup=  21,600/540= $40 per setup

Machine repair= 1,260/31,500= $0.04 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate costs to Job 971:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Machine setup= 40*30= $1,200

Machine repair= 0.04*15,000= $600

The Tradition Corporation is considering a change in its cash-only policy. The new terms would be net one period. The required return is 2.4 percent per period. Based on the following information, what is the break-even price per unit that should be charged under the new credit policy? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Price per unit Cost per unit Unit sales per month
Current Policy $ 93 $ 44 2.675
New Policy ? $ 44 2,750

Answers

Answer:

The Tradition Corporation

The break-even price per unit that should be charged under the new credit policy is $95.23.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Required rate of return = 2.4% per period

                             Price      Cost      Unit Sales    Total Sales   Total Cost

                          per unit  per unit   per month     Revenue

Current Policy      $ 93       $ 44        2,675         $248,775     $117,700

New Policy                ?        $ 44        2,750        

New price = $93 * 1.024 = $95.23

b) The new price of $95.23 with the required rate of return will ensure that revenue is not lost as a result of the new credit policy.  This implies that all things being equal, The Tradition Corporation would still be in a position to make the normal revenue that it was making under the cash policy.

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors.

To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:
Per Unit 21,000 Units
Per Year
Direct materials $ 14 $ 294,000
Direct labor 12 252,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 2 42,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 9 * 189,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12 252,000
Total cost $ 49 $ 1,029,000
Required:
1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $170,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

Answers

Answer:

Troy Engines, Ltd.

1. Financial advantage of buying from outside supplier = $51,000 ($629,000 - $578,000)

2. The outside supplier's offer should be accepted.

3. The financial advantage would increase by $170,000 to $221,000.

4. The outside supplier's offer should still be accepted.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outside supplier's selling price = $34 per unit

Costs of producing in-house:

                                                               Per Unit   21,000 Units     Per Year

Direct materials                                        $ 14      $ 294,000

Direct labor                                                  12         252,000

Variable manufacturing overhead               2           42,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable  9                *             189,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12                             252,000

Total cost                                                 $ 49    $ 1,029,000

Cost of buying 17,000 carburetors from the outside supplier at $34 per unit = $578,000

Relevant cost of making 17,000 carburetors in-house ($37 * 17,000) = $629,000

1. Financial advantage of buying from outside supplier = $51,000 ($629,000 - $578,000)

2. The outside supplier's offer should be accepted.

3. The financial advantage would increase by $170,000 to $221,000.

4. The outside supplier's offer should still be accepted.

Expenditures were $3,420,000 on March 1, $2,280,000 on June 1, and $5,700,000 on December 31. Teal Company borrowed $1,900,000 on March 1 on a 5-year, 10% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 12%, 5-year, $3,800,000 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $6,650,000 note payable. Compute avoidable interest for Teal Company. Use the weighted-average interest rate for interest capitalization purposes

Answers

Answer:

$418,790

Explanation:

Computation for the avoidable interest for Teal Company using the weighted-average interest rate for interest capitalization purposes

First step is to calculate the Expenditure for the year

Expenditure for the year

Mar-01 $3,420,000*10/12=$2,850,000

Jun-01 $2,280,000 *7 12=$1,064,000

Dec-31 $5,700,000*0/ 12=$ -

Total $ 11,400,000 $3,914,000

Second step is to compute the Weighted Average rate of all debt

Weighted Average rate of all debt:-

$3,800,000*12%=$456,000

$6,650,000*11%=$731,500

Total $10,450,000 $1,187,500

Weighted Average rate of all debt=($1,187,500 / $10,450,000)

Weighted Average rate of all debt = 11.36%

Now let compute the avoidable interest

AVOIDABLE INTEREST

$3,914,000

Less:$1,900,000*10%=$190,000

Balance$ 2,014,000*11.36% =$228,790

($3,914,000-$1,900,000=$ 2,014,000)

Avoidable Interest =$418,790

($190,000+$228,790)

Therefore the avoidable interest for Teal Company using the weighted-average interest rate for interest capitalization purposes will be $418,790

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of good sold under LIFO method is shown below

But before that following calculations need to be done

Goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

= 114 + (399 + 57) - 190

= 380 units

Now 380 units sold would include 57 units of July 22 purchases and balance i.e. (380-57)  323 units of July 7 purchases

So, cost of goods sold

= (57 × 22) + (323 ×20)

= $7,714

Universal Foods has a debt-to-value ratio of 36%, its debt is currently selling on a yield of 8%, and its cost of equity is 12%. The corporate tax rate is 40%. The company is now evaluating a new venture into home computer systems. The internal rate of return on this venture is estimated at 13.4%. WACCs of firms in the personal computer industry tend to average around 14%.
a. What is Universal's WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
WACC
b. Will Universal make the correct decision if it discounts cash flows on the proposed venture at the firm's WACC?
A. Yes
B. No
c. Should the new project be pursued?
A. Yes
B. No

Answers

Answer:

A. 9.41%

B. No

C. No

Explanation:

a. Calculation to determine Universal's WACC

Using this formula

rEquity = (D / V) × (1 - Tc)rDebt + (E / V) × rEquity

Let plug in the formula

rEquity= 0.36× (1 - 0.40)(0.08) + (1 - 0.36) × 0.12

rEquity=0.36×(0.60)(0.08)+(0.64)×0.12

rEquity=(0.36×0.048)+0.0768

rEquity=0.01728+0.0768

rEquity=0.0941*100

rEquity=9.41%

Therefore Universal's WACC is 9.41%

b. No. Based on the above calculation the Universal would not make the correct decision if it discounts cash flows on the proposed venture at the firm's WACC reason been that it is above the company WACC.

c. No. The new project should not be pursued reason been that the INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN( IRR ) is lower than the required discount rate of 14% and it tend to have a negative NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV).

Anna Conda purchased a new Toyota Tundra pickup truck for $45,000 and financed $41,000 with a 5 year, 3.5% loan. Following the format of the loan disclosure statement, answer the following question. What is the total of all of the loan payments made?

Answers

Answer:

Anna Conda

The total of all the loan payments made is

= $48,708.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of the new Toyota Tundra pickup truck = $45,000

Loan to finance the purchase of the truck = $41,000

Period of loan = 5 years

Interest rate on the loan for financing the purchase = 3.5%

Future Value Factor at 3.5% for 5 years from a FV table = 1.188

Future Value of the loan = $41,000 * 1.188 = $48,708

The total interest on the loan = $7,708 ($48,708 - $41,000)

Based on the available data, the total of all of the loan payments made would be:

$48,708.

According to the given question, we need to find the total of all the loan payments which have been made by Anna Conda based on her purchase of a new Toyota Tundra and her repayment plan.

As a result of this, we can see that we would use the available data to make the necessary calculations which would be first listed out as:

Price of the truck= $45,000

Loan gotten= $41,000

Time duration of loan= 5 years

Interest rate= 3.5%

Future Value at 3.5% for 5 years would be= 1.19

Therefore, the FV of the loan would be $41,000 x 1.19 = $48,708

The total cost of producing q units of a certain product is described by the function C = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q2 where C is the total cost stated in dollars. (1) How many units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit? (2) What is the minimum average cost per unit? (3) What is the total cost of production at this level of output? Make sure to include appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

(1) 20,000 units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit.

(2) The minimum average cost per unit is $700 per unit.

(3) The total cost of production at this level of output is $14,000,000.

Explanation:

The given total cost function is correctly stated as follows:

C = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2 …………………………… (1)

(1) How many units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit?

AC = Average cost per unit = C / q

Substituting for C from equation (1), we have:

AC = (4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2) / q …………………. (2)

Marginal cost can be obtained by taking the derivative of equation (1) as follows:

MC = C’ = 300 + (2 * 0.01)q

MC = 300 + 0.02q …………………………………………. (3)

AC is minimum when MC = AC. Therefore, equate equations (2) and (3) and solve for q as follows:

300 + 0.02q = (4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2) / q

(300 + 0.02q)q = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2

300q + 0.02q^2 = 4,000,000 + 300q + 0.01q^2

300q + 0.02q^2 - 300q - 0.01q^2 = 4,000,000

0.01q^2 = 4,000,000

q^2 = 4,000,000 / 0.01

q^2 = 400,000,000

q = 400,000,000^(1/2)

q = 20,000 units

Therefore, 20,000 units should be produced in order to minimize the average cost per unit.

(2) What is the minimum average cost per unit?

Substituting q = 20,000 into equation (2), we have:

AC = (4,000,000 + (300 * 20,000) + (0.01 * 20,000^2)) / 20,000

AC = $700 per unit

Therefore, the minimum average cost per unit is $700 per unit.

(3) What is the total cost of production at this level of output?

Substituting q = 20,000 into equation (1), we have:

C = 4,000,000 + (300 * 20,000) + (0.01 * 20,000^2)

C = $14,000,000

Therefore, the total cost of production at this level of output is $14,000,000.

Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.

Required:
Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.

Answers

Answer:

(1) Straight-line.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,600

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.

Required:

Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.

(1) Straight-line.

(2) Double-declining-balance.

(3) Activity-based.

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

(1) Straight-line.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Annual depreciation rate = 1 / Number of useful years = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Note: The salvage value is taken care of in the computation of the depreciation expense for the last useful year under the double-declining-balance method.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of the delivery van = $32,000

Annual depreciation rate = Straight line annual depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Cost of the delivery van * Annual depreciation rate = $32,000 * 50% = $16,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = Cost of the delivery van - Year 1 depreciation expense = $36,000 - $16,000 = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = Book value at the end of year 1 * Annual depreciation rate = $16,000 * 50% = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Depreciation rate = Actual miles driven each year / Expected driven miles for four years ……….. (1)

Depreciation expense for each year = Depreciable amount * Depreciation rate …………… (2)

Using equations (2), we have:

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (35,000 / 130,000) = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (38,000 / 130,000) = $7,600

YZ Company is rethinking the way it ships to its 62 customers in another city 220 miles away.
Current Shipping/Delivery Method
They currently hire an LTL (less-than-truckload) carrier to pick up and deliver these shipments. Each customer order shipped via LTL carrier costs $147.
Alternate Shipping/Delivery Method
A 3PL (third-party logistics provider) has approached XYZ Company and suggested that they make full truckload (TL) shipments from their facility to the 3PL's warehouse in the customers' city. The 3PL would then break the bulk shipment (TL or truckload shipment) into individual customer orders to be shipped locally by an LTL carrier. The relative data for this alternate shipping method are as follows:
Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = $675
Average order weight = 750 lbs.
Warehouse break-bulk fee (per 100 lbs., a.k.a. per "hundred weight") = $13
Local LTL delivery fee = $36
1. What is the total cost of delivering to all customers via LTL carrier (current method
R=_______.
2. How much money would XYZ company save by using the alternate shipping/delivery method?
R=______.
3. At what number of customers would the cost of these two methods be the same?
R=______.

Answers

Answer:

1. Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier is $9,114.

2. XYZ company would save $162 by using the alternate shipping/delivery method.

3. The cost of these two methods would be the same when the number of customers is approximately 6.

Explanation:

To ease answering the question, let us first the define as follows:

N = Number of customers = Number of Order

A = Each customer order shipped via LTL carrier costs = $147

B = Average order weight = 750

C = Warehouse break-bulk fee per hundred weight = 13

D = Total cost of weight = ((N * B) / 100) * C

E = Local LTL delivery fee = $36

F = Total Local LTL delivery fee = N * E

G = Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = 675

H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G

I = Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = N * A

J = Difference between the cost of the two methods = I - H

1. What is the total cost of delivering to all customers via LTL carrier (current method

This can be calculated using E above as follows:

Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = E = N * A = 62 * $147 = $9,114

2. How much money would XYZ company save by using the alternate shipping/delivery method?

From the definitions above, we have:

N = Number of orders = 62

D = Total cost of weight = ((N * B) / 100) * C = ((62 * 750) / 100) * 13 = $6,045

F = Total Local LTL delivery fee = N * E = 62 * 36 = $2,232

G = Full TL shipment cost (220 miles) = $675

H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G = $6,045 + $2,232 + $675 = $8,952

I = Total cost of customer order shipped via LTL carrier = $9,114

J = Difference between the cost of the two methods = I - H = $9,114 - $8,952 = $162

Therefore, XYZ company would save $162 by using the alternate shipping/delivery method.

3. At what number of customers would the cost of these two methods be the same?

H = Total cost of shipping using 3PL = D + F + G = (((N * B) / 100) * C) + (N * E) + G ............ (1)

Substituting all the relevant value into equation (1), we have:

H = (((N * 750) / 100) * 13) + (N * 36) + 675

I = N * 147

Equating H and I and solve for N, we have:

(((N * 750) / 100) * 13) + (N * 36) + 675 = N * 147

((N0.01 * 7.50) * 13) + 675 = N147 - N36

(N0.075* 13) + 675 = N111

N0.975 + 675 = N111

675 = N111 - N0.975

N110.025 = 675

N = 675 / 110.025

N = 6.13496932515337.

By approximating to a whole number since we are talking about human being, we have:

N = 6

At what number of customers would

Therefore, the cost of these two methods would be the same when the number of customers is approximately 6.

Consider the following statements when answering this question I. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the short-run market price. II. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the long-run market price. I is true, and II is false. I and II are true. I is false, and II is true. I and II are false.

Answers

Answer:

I and II are true

Explanation:

I. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the short-run market price

In the short run of the competitive industry when the market demand for goods rises then the price of these goods will also increase. This is because the price equals marginal revenue. Therefore, when price rises then marginal revenue will increase and as a result, the marginal cost curve moves up and firms produce more quantity of goods. This statement is therefore true.

II. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the long-run market price

The effect of the increase in goods demand is the same in the long run of the competitive industry as it is in the short run. Therefore, a rise in demand would raise the price of the goods above ATC (Average Total Cost). Hence, the above statement is also true.
