Fixed costs 10,607,200 27,197,200
Operating income $10,662,800
The company is considering hiring its own sales staff to replace the network of agents. It will pay its salespeople a commission of 9% and incur additional fixed costs of $9,480,000.
A. Calculate the company’s break-even point in sales dollars for the year 2017 if it hires its own sales force to replace the network of agents.
B. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of $78,800,000 if (1) Bonita Beauty uses sales agents, and (2) Bonita Beauty employs its own sales staff.
C. Calculate the estimated sales volume in sales dollars that would generate an identical net income for the year ending December 31, 2017, regardless of whether Bonita Beauty Corporation employs its own sales staff and pays them an 10% commission or continues to use the independent network of agents.
Answer:
a) total sales = $79,000,000
variable costs:
COGS $32,390,000commissions $7,110,000total variable costs = $39,350,000contribution margin ratio = $39,350,000 / $79,000,000 = 0.5
total fixed costs = $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 + $9,480,000 = $28,837,200
break even point = $28,837,200 / 0.5 = $57,674,400
b) one of the formulas that we can use to calculate the degree of operating leverage is:
operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs
1) total costs using sales agents = $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 + ($78,800,000 x 0.62) = $68,213,200
total fixed costs = $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 = $19,357,200
degree of operating leverage = $19,357,200 / $68,213,200 = 28.38%
2) total costs employing its own sales staff = ($78,800,000 x 0.5) + $8,750,000 + $10,607,200 + $9,480,000 = $68,237,200
total fixed costs = $28,837,200
degree of operating leverage = $28,837,200 / $68,237,200 = 42.26%
c) when the sales level is $79,000,000, the operating income for both alternatives is $10,662,800
($79,000,000 x 0.5) - $28,837,200 = $10,662,800
($79,000,000 x 0.38) - $19,357,200 = $10,662,800

Kingbird Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Kingbird also provides installation service for the windows The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Kingbird enters into the following contract on July 1, 2017, with a local homeowner.
The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,470 and chooses Kingbird to do the installation. Kingbird charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $580. The customer pays Kingbird $1,940 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,050) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2017, Kingbird completes installation on October 15, 2017, and the customer pays the balance due.
Prepare the journal entries for Kingbird in 2017.
Answer:
Kingbird Windows
July 1, 2017:
Debit Cash Account $1,940
Credit Unearned Sales Revenue $1,940
To record the receipt of cash from customer.
Sept. 1, 2017:
Debit Unearned Sales Revenue $1,940
Credit Sales Revenue $1,940
To record the sale of windows.
Debit Inventory $1,050
Credit Cost of Goods Sold $1,050
To record the cost of goods sold.
Oct. 15, 2017:
Debit Cash Account $530
Credit Service Revenue $530
To record the service revenue earned for installation of windows.
Explanation:
The data state that Kingbird Window's selling price is equal to $1,940, which its customer pays in advance of performance. Therefore, this amount is taken as the sales revenue. The stand-alone price of installation is estimated to be $580, but only $530 is recorded as revenue for the installation since the difference had been captured under the actual costs.
All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.
A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions.
B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information.
C. Shifting: This is the bias involved in shifting perspectives too rapidly, thereby forgoing objectivity and sound reasoning.
D. Halo effect: This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related.
E. Overconfidence bias: This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.
Answer:
Option C would be the correct answer.
Explanation:
Throughout objective reasoning, cognitive bias seems to be a weakness that has been triggered by that of the human brain's propensity to interpret knowledge through a prism of individual perspective including interests. The types of cognitive bias but for the remaining change.
The types of cognitive bias are almost as follows:

Lina Martinez wants to buy a new high-end audio system for her car. The system is being sold by two dealers in town, both of whom sell the equipment for the same price of $2,000. Lina can buy the equipment from Dealer A, with no money down, by making payments of $118.28 a month for 18 months; she can buy the same equipment from Dealer B by making 36 monthly payments of $70.31 (again, with no money down). Lina is considering purchasing the system from Dealer B because of the lower payment.
Find the APR for Dealer A.
Use the financial calculator and Find the APR for Dealer B
Answer:
dealer A:
total interest charged = ($118.28 x 18 months) - $2,000 = $129.04
APR = [($129.04 / $2,000) / 1.5 periods] x 100% = 4.3%
dealer B:
total interest charged = ($70.31 x 36 months) - $2,000 = $531.16
APR = [($531.16 / $2,000) / 3 periods] x 100% = 8.85%
The APR charged by dealer A is much lower than the APR charged by dealer B. Even thought the monthly payments are much lower for dealer B, the total amount of interest charged is much higher.
Dale takes out a loan of $8,000 with a 15.2% interest rate that is compounded semi-annually.
If he pays off the loan in 3 years, how much will he end up paying?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.
DO NOT round until you have calculated the final answer.
Answer:
$12,415.48
Explanation:
The formula for calculating compound interest is
FV = PV × (1+r)^ n.
For Dale , FV = the amount he will pay?
PV = $8,000
r = 15.2%
n =3 years
Since interest is compounded semi-annually, the applicable r will be 15.2% divided by 2, n will be 3 years x 2
Fv= $8,000 x ( 1 + {15.2 %/ 2}^6
Fv = $8,000 x (1+ 7.6/100) ^ 6
Fv= $8,000 x ( 1.076) ^6
Fv = $8000 x 1.551934858492184
Fv=$12,415.482
Fv= $12,415.48
Dale will end up paying $12,415.48
Answer: 12,415.48
Explanation:
Use the compund interest formula for calculating the future value, A=P(1+rn)n⋅t where A is the unknown future value, P is the principal, so P=$8,000, r is the rate written as a decimal, so r=0.152, n is the number of periods of compounding which is 2 when compounded semi-annually,so n=2, and t is the time in years, so t=3. Substitute the values into the formula.
Use the compound interest formula and substitute the given values: A=$8,000(1+0.1522)2(3). Simplify using the order of operations: A=$8,000(1.076)6=$8,000(1.551935358)≈$12,415.48.
Champion manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale in the United States. Demand for jackets during the season is normally distributed, with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 10,000. Each jacket sells for $60 and costs $30 to produce. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25 at the year-end clearance sale.

a stock will pay dividend of $4 at the end of the year. it sells today for $104 and it its dividends are expected grow at a rate of 9%. what is the implied rate of return on this stock
Answer:
the implied rate of return on the stock is 14.80%
Explanation:
The computation of the implied rate of return is shown below:
The Rate of return is
= (Dividend at year 1 ÷ share price) + growth rate
= ( $6 ÷ 104) + 0.09
= 0.058 + 0.09
= 14.80%
We simply applied the above formula
And, the same is to be considered
hence, the implied rate of return on the stock is 14.80%

If the price level increases by 2 percent each year, the inflation rate is increasing. a. True b. False
Answer: False
Explanation:
Inflation refers to the general rise in prices of goods and services in an economy. It erodes the value of currency because with inflation, one is able to buy less goods.
If the inflation rate increases by 2% each year then the inflation rate is not increasing. The inflation rate is remaining constant at 2%. The inflation rate would be increasing if the prices increased by 2% then by 4% then by 6%. That way the inflation rate would be increasing by 2% every year.
If the rate at which prices are increasing is constant then, the inflation rate is the same.

Bernie and Phil's Great American Surplus store placed an ad in the Sunday Times stating, "Next Saturday at 8:00 A.M. sharp 3 brand new mink coats worth $5,000 each will be sold for $500 each! First come, First served." Marsha LufMin was first in line when the store opened and went directly to the coat department, but the coats identified in the ad were not available for sale. She identified herself to the manager and pointed out that she was first in line in conformity with the store's advertised offer and that she was ready to pay the $500 price set forth in the store's offer. The manager responded that a newspaper ad is just an invitation to negotiate and that the store decided to withdraw "the mink coat promotion." Review the text on unilateral contracts in Section 12(b) of Chapter 12. Decide.
Answer:
This technique is called "bait and switch", it is illegal and is considered false advertising. A seller cannot falsely advertise a product and then simply say that they do not have it on stock. It is a type of sales fraud and it is prohibited by the Lanham Act.
In order for this situation to be considered legal, the seller must have advertised and sold a certain amount of coats, but it didn't sell any. I.e. the seller runs out of stock because it already sold the 3 coats.
Chance company had two operating divisions, one manufacturing farm equipment and other office supplies. Both divisions are considered separate components as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The farm equipment component had been unprofitable, and on Sept. 1, 2016, the company adopted a plan to sell the assets of the division.
The actual sale was completed on Dec. 15, 2016, at the price of $600,000. The book value of the division's assets was $1,000,000, resulting in a before-tax loss of $400,000 on the sale. The division incurred a before-tax operating loss from operations of $130,000 from the beginning of the year through Dec. 15. The income tax rate is 40%. Chances after-tax income from its continuing operations is $350,000.
Required:
Prepare an income statement for 2016 beginning with income from continuing operations. Include appropriate EPS disclosures assuming that 100,000 shares of common stock were outstanding throughout the year.

A check register shows a balance of $152.34. The bank statement shows that a check for $75.00 deposited by the account owner was drawn against insufficient funds and was returned. A charge for $2.00 was also deducted by the bank because of the return. Compute the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Answer:
$150.34
Explanation:
The $75 check has been drawn against insufficient funds and has been returned so this check won't be included in the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
A charge for $2.0 will be deducted from the balance shown by the cash register above to calculate the adjusted cash balance of the check register.
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $152.34 - $2
Adjusted cash balance of the check register = $150.34

For example, in 2012, each of the 80 billion pieces of advertising brought 21 cents in revenue, compared to 42 cents for first-class mail. Which word could best replace revenue in this sentence
Answer:
Returns
Explanation:
Returns on an investor is the amount of profit or gain an outlay of cash is able to bring at the end of a period.
Rate of returns on invested funds is used as a yardstick by potential investors in deciding which enterprise to fund.
In the given instance where each of the 80 billion pieces of advertising brought 21 cents in revenue, a better replacement for the word revenue is return.
So returns of funds invested on each piece of advertising is 21 cents.
Answer: income
Explanation:
synonym for revenue
You are analyzing two companies that manufacture electronic toys--Like Games Inc. and Our Play Inc. Like Games was launched eight years ago, whereas Our Play is a relatively new company that has been in operation for only the past two years. However, both companies have an equal market share with sales of $200,000 each. You've gathered up company data to compare Like Games and Our Play. Last year, the average sales for industry competitors was $510,000. As an analyst, you want to make comments on the expected performance of these two companies in the coming year. You've collected data from the companies' financial statements. This information is listed as follows:
Like Games
Accounts receivable: 5,400
Net fixed assets: 110,000
Total assets: 190,000
Our Play
Accounts receivable: 7,800
Net fixed assets: 160,000
Total assets: 250,000
Industry Average
Accounts receivable: 7,700
Net fixed assets: 433,500
Total assets: 469,200
Using this information, complete the following statements in your analysis.
1. A _____ days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, _____ is collecting cash from its customers faster than _____, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is _____ than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is _____ that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is _____, which is _____, than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Answer:
1. A LOWER days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, LIKE GAMES is collecting cash from its customers faster than OUR PLAY, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is LOWER than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is HIGHER that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is 1.05, which is LOWER than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Explanation:
DSO = (accounts receivable / credit sales) x 365
DSO industry = (7,700 / 510,000) x 365 = 5.5 days
DSO Like Games = (5,400 / 200,000) x 365 = 9.9 days
DSO Our Play = (7,800 / 200,000) x 365 = 14.2 days
Fixed asset turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets
Fixed asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 433,500 = 1.18
Fixed asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 110,000 = 1.82
Fixed asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 160,000 = 1.25
Total asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets
Total asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 469,200 = 1.09
Total asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 190,000 = 1.05
Total asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 250,000 = 0.8
What are some of the government requirements imposed on a public corporation that are not imposed on a private, closely held corporation? Discuss pros and cons of each
Answer:
The government (the SEC) imposes several regulations on publicly traded corporations and requires mandatory reporting regarding their financial position, compensation to key employees, auditing and accounting procedures, conflicts of interest between upper management and shareholders, operating results, etc.
The pros of that large amount of reports is that it makes management accountable for what happens and it makes their job more transparent.
The downside is that they are expensive and time consuming.
On the other hand, privately held corporations decide what to disclose to the general public or the government. The IRS is something that cannot be avoided, but the SEC and its scrutiny is avoided.
Other advantages of publicly held corporations:
a publicly held corporation should be able to raise larger amounts of capitalsince the number of owners is larger, debt per ownership stake is generally much lowertop management tends to be more independent and suffer less pressures from individual stockholderspublicly trades corporations tend to receive more publicity and are better knownthey also attract more talentOther disadvantages of publicly held corporations:
publicly held corporation have a lot of owners and they all have the right to be informed about what happens within the corporation and vote to elect the board of directorssome decisions require that shareholders vote on them, e.g. mergersstock prices suffer from market riskgoing public is also expensiveFarley Inc. has perpetual preferred stock outstanding that sells for $50 a share and pays a dividend of $5.00 at the end of each year. What is the required rate of return? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
The Required Rate of return is the minimum acceptable return on investment sought by individuals or companies considering an investment opportunity.
Dividend = $5
Market price = $50
Required rate of return = Dividend / Market price
Required rate of return = 5/50*100
Required rate of return = 10%
If the expected sales volume for the current period is 9,000 units, the estimated the beginning inventory is 200 units and the desired ending inventory is 300 units, calculate the production budget for the current period.Group of answer choices9,0008,9008,7009,100
Answer:
Production= 9,100 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 9,000 units
Beginning inventory= 200 units
Desired ending inventory= 300 units
To calculate the budgeted production for the period, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 9,000 + 300 - 200
Production= 9,100 units

A movie ticket cost $0.5 in 1970. The CPI (1970) and the CPI (2011) was 38.8 and 218.8 respectively. How much money would you have needed in 2011 to buy a movie ticket?
help please
Answer:
$2.82
Explanation:
The CPI is the measure of the average changes in prices of consumer goods and services. The CPI compares current prices and prices at the base year.
CPI is expressed as a percentage. It represents the cost of goods in a given year divided by the cost of goods in the base year multiplied by 100.
In 1970, the movie price was $0.50, and CPI was 38.8%
in 2011, CPI was 218.8%; the movie price will be?
in 1970: $0.50 =38.8%
in 2011: ? = 218.8%
?= 218.8/38.8 x $0.50
?=5.6392 x 0.50
=$2.81896
=$2.82

Assume you make monthly deposits of $200 starting one month from now into an account that pays 6% per year, compounded semiannually. If you want to know how much you will have after four years, the value of i you should use in the F/A factor, assuming no interperiod interest, is
Answer:
3%
Explanation:
the account pays a 6% annual rate, but since it is compounded semiannually, you must divide it by 2 = 6% / 2 = 3%
since no interperiod interest is paid, the semiannual payment = $200 x 6 = $1,200
the future value = $1,200 x 8.8923 (FV annuity factor, 3%, 8 periods) = $10,670.76
If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts decreases from $1.10 to $0.90 and the quantity demanded increases from 190 bags to 210 bags, then the price elasticity of demand (by the midpoint method) is:
Answer:Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method= [tex]\frac{(Q2- Q1)/(Q2+Q1)/2}{(P2- P1)/(P2+P1)/2}[/tex]
where Q =Quantity demanded
P = Price
Price elasticity of demand = ([tex]\frac{(210-190/210+190)/2}{0.90-1.10/ 0.90+1.10)/2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20/400)/2 }{ -0.2/2)/2}[/tex]
0.025/ -0.05 = -0.05
Price elasticity of demand = -0.05
The Price elasticity of demand tells us how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price. Here the Demand for a good is inelastic because the PED coefficient is less than one -0.05
Answer:
Elasticity = 0.5
Explanation:
Elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. One of the methods used to calculate it is the midpoint method.
Midpoint method uses average values to calculate the elasticity of demand of a good.
Elasticity = {(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)/2} ÷ {(P2 - P1) ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}
Elasticity = {(210 - 190) ÷ (210 + 190)/2} ÷ {(0.9 - 1.10) ÷ (0.9 + 1.10)/2}
Elasticity = 0.1 ÷ 0.2
Elasticity = 0.5
