Marketing by the Numbers: Pricey Sheets
Many luxury sheets cost less than $200 to make but sell for more than $500 in retail stores. Some cost even more consumers pay almost $3,000 for Frett'e "Tangeri Pizzo king-size luxury linens. The creators of a new brand of luxury linens, called Boll & Branch, have entered this market and are determining the price at which to sell their sheets directly to consumers online. They want to price their sheets lower than most brands but still want to earn an adequate margin on sales. The sheets come in a luxurious box that can be reused to store lingerie, jewelry, or other keepsakes. The Boll & Branch brand touts fair trade practices when sourcing its high-grade long staple organic cotton from India. Given the cost information below, refer to Appendix 2: Marketing by the Numbers to answer the following questions.

Answer 1

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

Determine the selling price PV, per $1,000 maturity value, of the bond. HINT [See Example 8.] (Assume twice-yearly interest payments. Do not round those payments to the nearest cent. Round your selling price PV to the nearest cent.) 20-year, 4.225% bond, with a yield of 4.23%

Answers

Answer:

$999.60

Explanation:

For computing the selling price i.e. present value we have to use the present value function i.e. shown below:

Given that

NPER = 20 × 2 = 40

PMT = $1,000 × 4.225% ÷ 2 = $21.125

RATE = 4.23% ÷ 2 = 2.115%

FV = $1,000

the formula is shown below:

PV =-PV(RATE;NPER;PMTFV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the present value is $999.60

Machine setups 6 1
Production orders 8 1
Shipments 8 1

Required:
Compute the unit product cost of each product listed above.

Answers

Answer:

J78= $35.45

B52= $34.2

Explanation:

First, we need to allocate overhead:

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

J78:

Labor-related= 5*1,500= 7,500

Machine-related= 10*2,600= 26,000

Machine setups= 30*6= 180

Production orders= 200*8= 1,600

Shipments= 140*8= 1,120

General factory= 10*1,500= 15,000

Total allocated overhead= $51,400

Unitary allocated overhead= 51,400/2,000= $25.7

B52:

Labor-related= 5*50= 250

Machine-related= 10*30= 300

Machine setups= 30*1= 30

Production orders= 200*1= 200

Shipments= 140*1= 140

General factory= 10*50= 500

Total allocated overhead= $1,420

Unitary allocated overhead= 1,420/200= $7.1

Finally, the unitary cost:

J78= 5.5 + 4.2 + 25.7= $35.45

B52= 20 + 7 + 7.2= $34.2

Last month Empire Company had a $35,280 profit on sales of $287,000. Fixed costs are $68,040 a month. By how much would sales be able to decrease for Empire to still break even

Answers

Answer:

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

Explanation:

gross profit = net income + fixed costs = $35,280 + $68,040 = $103,320

COGS = total sales - gross profit = $287,000 - $103,320 = $183,680

contribution margin ratio = $103,320 / $287,000 = 36%

break even point in $ = $68,040 / 36% = $189,000

sales might decrease by $287,000 - $189,000 = $98,000 and the company will still break even

The inventory of a large grocery store client is material, and it is the largest current asset on the balance sheet. The cost of inventory items ranges from very small amounts (like individual candy at the checkout line) to larger amounts (like prime meat and specialty deli items). Typical risks for a grocery store are theft and spoilage of inventory. During the second quarter, the client caught three employees in a scheme of stealing produce and meats from the store and selling them, at a discount, to friends and family. Based on an investigation by authorities and store management, the scheme had been operating for about two months.

Required:
Based on the information, evaluate which accounts and assertions are at risk of misstatement.

Answers

Answer:

The auditor of the large grocery store can identify the accounts at risk of misstatement to include Inventory account, Cost of Goods Sold account, and Accounts Payable account.  They have some relationships.  A misstatement in the Inventory account will lead to a misstatement in the Cost of Goods Sold, which eventually affects the Net Income.

The auditor should be aware that the assertions that are at risk of misstatement include existence, completeness, accuracy and valuation, and disclosure of Inventory.  Assuming that the pilfering scheme had gone on for more months, the employees could have devised more sinister schemes.

Explanation:

The management of this large grocery store must attest to the assertions of existence, completeness, rights and obligations, accuracy and valuation, and presentation and disclosure with regard to the accuracy of the information contained in the financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.  This implies that its management must declare that it has truthfully measured and presented the financial information about its activities.

If national income is $5,000 billion, compensation of employees is $1,105 billion, proprietors’ income is $1,520 billion, corporate profits are $490 billion, and net interest is $128 billion, then rental income is equal to

Answers

Answer:

Rental income = $1,757 billion

Explanation:

National income is defined as the value of goods and services that a nation produces within a financial year.

Therefore it is made up of all economic actives that the nation is involved in.

The gross domestic product is a measure of the national income.

The formula for national income is given below

National income = employees compensation + proprietors' income + corporate profits + rental income +net interest

5,000 billion = 1,105 billion + 1,520 billion + 490 billion + rental income + 128 billion

Rental income = 5,000 billion - 3,243 billion

Rental income = $1,757 billion

Bramble Corp. sells MP3 players for $60 each. Variable costs are $30 per unit, and fixed costs total $120000. How many MP3 players must Bramble sell to earn net income of $300000?

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units=  14,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $60

Variable costs are $30 per unit

Fixed costs total $120,000.

Desired profit= $300,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 300,000) / 30

Break-even point in units=  14,000 units

You are considering starting a company that manufactures racing bicycles. You are planning on financing your firm 40% equity and 60% debt. You estimate that your upfront costs will be $5M, and that you will earn an EBIT of $1M per year for the next 12 years. Lightning Bolt Bikes makes racing bicycles similar to the ones that you wish to manufacture. They have a CAPM equity beta of 1.9 and a debt to equity ratio of 0.7. The tax rate for both firms is 35%, the riskless rate is 3%, and the expected return on the S&P500 is 15%. Cost of Debt is 6%

Part A (5 points). What is the asset beta of Lightning Bolt Bikes?

Part B (5 points). What is your unlevered cost of equity?

Part C (5 points). What is your firm’s equity beta?

Part D (10 points). What is your firm’s weighted average cost of capital?

Part E (5 points). What is the NPV of your proposed bicycle company using the WACC method?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Asset beta measures company's risk or volatility of return in assets without the effect of leverage financing or debt.

Asset beta= Equity beta / 1+(1-tax rate) *debt / equity

2. Unlevered cost of equity measures the returns on assets without the effect of debt

Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free return + Asset Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free return)

3. Equity beta measures security prices' volatility to change in the market

4. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average cost or average cost of all capital sources employed by the company in financing it's assets

Weighted Average cost of capital = Cost of Equity * proportion of equity + Cost of debt after tax rate * proportion of debt

Expected return in CAPM= Risk free return +asset beta *market return -risk free return

Dr Insurance expense 3,600

    Cr Cash 3,600

Adjusting entry on December 31

Dr Prepaid insurance 2,400

    Cr Insurance expense 2,400

There are no options available, but since the cross price elasticity of demand is positive, that means that goods A and B are substitute products. An increase in the price of good B will increase the quantity demanded for good A. If the cross price elasticity had been negative, then they would be complement goods, and an increase in the price of one of them would decrease the quantity demanded of both.

Alan and Alice have a marginal income tax rate of 32 percent (capital gains rate of 15 percent) and have decided to investigate the following investment opportunities.

Required:
Determine the two annual after-tax rate of return.

Answers

Answer:

the question is missing the information about potential investments, so I looked for a similar one:

                                                                    5 Years  18 Years

Corporate bonds                                        5.75%  4.75%  

(ordinary interest taxed annually)

Dividend-paying stock                                 3.50%   3.50%  

(no appreciation and dividends are taxed at 15%)  

Growth stock                                              FV $65,000 FV $140,000  

Municipal bond (tax-exempt)                3.20%  3.10%  

Alan and Alice should invest in growth stocks since they yield the highest after tax return:

5 years:

FV of growth stocks = $65,000

taxable gain = $65,000 -$50,000 = $15,000 x 15% = $2,250

net gain = $15,000 - $2,250 = $12,750

to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:

62,750 = 50,000 x (1 + r)⁵

(1 + r)⁵ = 62,750 / 50,000 = 1.255

⁵√(1 + r)⁵ = ⁵√1.255

1 + r = 1.046

r = 4.6% after tax yield per year

18 years:

FV of growth stocks = $140,000

taxable gain = $140,000 -$50,000 = $90,000 x 15% = $13,500

net gain = $90,000 - $13,500 = $76,500

to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:

126,500 = 50,000 x (1 + r)¹⁸

(1 + r)¹⁸ = 126,500 / 50,000 = 2.53

¹⁸√(1 + r)¹⁸ = ¹⁸√2.53

1 + r = 1.053

r = 5.3% after tax yield per year

On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $562,907 over a three-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $3 million.

Required:
a. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
b. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021

Answers

Answer:

1. $3,000,000

2. Liability $1,996,041

Asset$2,500,000

Explanation:

1. Calculation to Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021

Present value of lease payments will be calculated as : $562,907 × 5.32948

(Present value of an annuity due of $1:

n = 6, i = 5% is 5.32948)

Present value of lease payments = $3,000,000

Therefore the Present value of lease payments will be $3,000,000

2. Calculation to Determine the pretax amounts related to the lease that Georgia-Atlantic would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021

Liability at December 31, 2021

Initial balance, June 30, 2021 3,000,000

June 30, 2021 Reduction(562,907)

Dec. 31, 2021 reduction (441052)

[562,907-(3,000,000-562,907)*5%]

December 31, 2021 NET LIABILITY $1,996,041

ASSETS at December 31, 2021

Initial balance, June 30, 2021 3,000,000

Accumulated depreciation at Dec. 31, 2021 (500,000)

(3000000/3*1/2)

December 31, 2021 ASSETS $2,500,000

Therefore the pretax amounts related to the lease that Georgia-Atlantic would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 will be : Liability $1,996,041

Asset$2,500,000

The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:

sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,

where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)

(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?

(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?

(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is

= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.

If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?

(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.

(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?

Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model

sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.

(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?

(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?

Answers

Answer:

1. I²1 will have a negative sign

This is because the more work the adults do, the less sleep they will utilize.

2. The sign of i²2 is likely to be negative. This is because due to the demands placed on them, more educated people are likely to sleep less. Also, general as age increases some people sleep less. While some others sleep more as it increases. So i²3 is a bit complicated to judge.

3. Using the data

^sleep = 3638.24-0.148toteork-11.13educ + 2.20age

N = 706 r² = 0.113

We will convert 5 hours to minutes = 60x5 = 300

Coefficient of totwork = 0.148

O.148x300 = 44.4 minutes

In a week approximately 45 minutes of less sleep is not too much a change.

4. We are to discuss the sign and magnitude of estimated education

More education indicates less sleeping time. This is obvious given the sign of the variable educ. It is negative, but it's effect is quite small. Magnitude is -11.13.

So as education increases by 1 year, expected sleeping time decreases by 11.13 minutes weekly.

5. R² is 0.113. the 3 predictor variables gives us 11.3% of total variations in sleep and rest. 88.7% is unexplained.

Some factors that might also affect it are general health, number and age of children are factors that could correlate with totwork

Which components should Enterprise Free Cash Flows include? I. Capital expenditures II. Financing costs III. Taxes IV. Working capital requirements

In, ​& Sons, a small​ environmental-testing firm, has a small environmental-testing firm, performed 11,400 radon tests for $260 each and 15,000 lead tests for $210 each. Because newer homes are being built with lead-free pipes, lead-testing volume is expected to decrease by 12% next year. However, awareness of radon-related health hazards is expected to result in a 5% increase in radon-test volume each year in the near future. Jim Hart feels that if he lowers his price for lead testing to $200 per test, he will have to face only a 4% decline in lead-test sales in 2018.

A machine was purchased for $35,500, having a useful life of 10 years, and a residual value of $6,000. Compute the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method.

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $2,950

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A machine was purchased for $35,500, having a useful life of 10 years, and a residual value of $6,000.

To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (35,500 - 6,000) / 10

Annual depreciation= $2,950

A real estate agent is considering changing her land line phone plan. There are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. Plan A has a cost of $.41 a minute for daytime calls and $.16 a minute for evening calls. Plan B has a charge of $.51 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. Plan C has a flat rate of $80 with 300 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening.
a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Cost for Plan A $
Cost for Plan B $
Cost for Plan C $
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (Round each answer to the nearest whole number.Include the indifference point itself in each answer.)
c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Answers

Answer:

a. Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.

Cost for Plan A = ($0.41 x 120) + ($0.16 x 40) + $20 = $ 75.60Cost for Plan B = ($0.51 x 120) + ($0.15 x 40) + $20 = $ 87.20Cost for Plan C = $80 + $20 = $100

b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?

If the agent will use the service only for daytime calls, Plan A is better if the agent uses 195 minutes maximum. If the agent expects to use 196 or more minutes, then Plan C is better.

c. Suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. At what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans A and B?

Plan A charges 10¢ less per daytime minute, while plan B charges 1¢ less for evening minutes, that means that the proportion of daytime calls should be 1/11, while the proportion of evening calls should be 10/11.

total                           1                    $6,332

a) the expected value of each yearly cash flow is $6,332

b) the present value of the expected cash flows = $6,332 x 3.5172 (PV annuity factor, 13%, 5 periods) = $22,270.91 ≈ $22,271

the NPV = -$24,500 + $22,271 = -$2,229

c) Debby should not buy the equipment since the project's NPV is negative.

Carving Creations jointly produces wood chips and sawdust used in agriculture. The wood chips and sawdust are actually by-products of the company’s core operations, but Carving Creations accounts for them just like normally produced goods because of their large volumes. One jointly produced batch yields 3,000 cubic yards of wood chips and 10,000 cubic yards of sawdust, and the estimated cost per batch is $21,400. However, the joint production of each good is not equally weighted. Management at Carving Creations estimates that for the time it takes to produce 10 cubic yards of wood chips in the joint production process, only 2 cubic yards of sawdust are produced.

Given this information, allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the weighted average method.

Joint Product Allocation

Sawdust _____$ 12,840 ($0.428 * 30,000)

Wood chips _____ $8,560 ($0.428 * 20,000)

Totals _____ $21,400

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Wood chips = 3,000 cubic yards

Sawdust = 10,000 cubic yards

Estimated batch cost = $21,400

Weight assigned to wood chips production = 10

Weight assigned to sawdust production = 2

Weighted Allocation of the joint costs:

Wood chips = 3,000 * 10 = 30,000

Sawdust = 10,000 * 2 = 20,000

Total weighted units = 50,000

Allocation rate based on weights = $21,400/50,000

= $0.428

berkshire hathaway a corporation, owns Goldman Sachs preferred stock with a 12 dividend yield. What is Berthshire Hathaway's after-tax dividend yield on this preferred stock if their marginal tax rate is

Answers

Answer: 11.2%

Explanation:

Here is the completed question:

berkshire hathaway a corporation, owns Goldman Sachs preferred stock with a 12 dividend yield. What is Berthshire Hathaway's after-tax dividend yield on this preferred stock if their marginal tax rate is 21%?

The dividend yield that's not subject to tax will be:

= 12% × 70%

= 0.12 × 0.7

= 0.084

The dividend yield that's subject to tax will be:

= 12% × 30% × (1 - 21%)

= 0.12 × 0.3 × 0.79

= 0.02844

Berthshire Hathaway's after-tax dividend yield will now be:

= 0.084 - 0.02844

= 0.11244

= 11.2%
