1. Contribution margin ratio = Contribution per unit/Selling price * 100
= $10/$25 * 100
= 40%
Break-even point in quantity of balls = Fixed cost/Contribution margin
= $210,000/$10
= 21,000 balls
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin divided by Net operating income (sales minus variable costs and fixed costs)
= $300,000/$90,000
= 3.33
New CM ratio =
Selling price $25
Variable cost 18 (15 + 3)
Contribution $7
Contribution margin ratio = $7/$25 * 100
= 28%
3. Break-even point in quantity of balls = Fixed expenses/contribution margin = $210,000/$7
= 30,000 balls
4. Break-even point in quantity of balls to achieve a target profit of $90,000
= (Fixed cost + Target profit)/$7
= ($210,000 + $90,000)/$7
= $300,000/$7
= 42,857 balls
5. The selling price per ball must increase to:
Variable cost = $15 + $3 = $18 = 60% of selling price
Therefore, new selling price = $18/60%
= $30
6. Selling price = $25
Variable = 9 ($15 * 60%)
Contribution $16 ($25 - $9)
Fixed expenses = $420,000 (210,000 * 2)
New CM ratio = $16/$25 * 100
= 64%
Break-even point in quantity of balls = Fixed expenses/Contribution margin
= $420,000/$16
= 26,250 balls
7. To earn target net operating income of $90,000, the quantity of balls will be:
= ($420,000 + $90,000)/$16
= $510,000/$16
= 31,875 balls
8. Contribution Format Income Statement:
Sales Revenue $750,000 ($25 * 30,000)
Variable expenses 270,000 ($9 * 30,000)
Contribution margin $480,000
Fixed expenses 420,000
Net operating income $60,000
Degree of operating leverage = Net operating income/Contribution margin
= $60,000/$480,000
= 0.125
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per ball = $25
Variable cost per ball = $15 ($450,000/30,000)
Contribution per ball = $10
Fixed expenses = $210,000
Net operating income = $90,000
Sales $750,000
Variable expenses (450,000)
Contribution margin 300,000
Fixed expenses (210,000)
Net operating income$ 90,000
b) Northwood's degree of operating leverage (DOL) measures how much the operating income of the company will change as a result of a change in its sales. The DOL ratio, which is a multiple, enables analysts to determine the impact of any change in sales on the earnings or profits of Northwood Company in a given year.
You are given an old car by your uncle, who wants you to keep it in working condition so that you can hand it off to your younger brother in three years. It will cost you $1,500 per year to keep it in working condition for your brother. If you skip maintenance altogether, the car will die after two years, but you can pocket the maintenance costs.
a. What will you be tempted to do?
Not do the maintenance, because the MC < MB of doing the maintenance and the MC > MB of doing the maintenance.
Do the maintenance, because the MC < MB of doing the maintenance and the MC > MB of doing the maintenance.
Not do the maintenance, because the MC < MB of doing the maintenance and the MC > MB of doing the maintenance.
Not do the maintenance, because the MC < MB of doing the maintenance and the MC < MB of doing the maintenance.
b. Would higher maintenance costs make you more or less likely to do what your uncle wants?
More likely, because the MB of not doing the maintenance rises and the MC of doing the maintenance also rises.
More likely, because the MB of not doing the maintenance falls and the MC of doing the maintenance also falls.
Less likely, because the MB of not doing the maintenance falls and the MC of doing the maintenance rises.
Less likely, because the MB of not doing the maintenance rises and the MC of doing the maintenance also rises.
Answer:
a. What will you be tempted to do?
the options do not make sense. You will be tempted to not do the maintenance because the MC of doing the maintenance is higher than the MB of doing the maintenance. In other words, you will probably value using the car for 2 years and not spending money more than spending $4,500 in car repairs.
b. Would higher maintenance costs make you more or less likely to do what your uncle wants?
Less likely, because the MB of not doing the maintenance rises and the MC of doing the maintenance also rises.

It shows that at every given time and after every business transaction, the assets are always equal to the liabilities and the equity balance. This implies that the assets are funded from the contributions of creditors and owners.
Khaled is a preschool teacher working at a public school, but he is considering quitting his job to start a daycare facility of his own. Indicate which of the four types of interdependency is most relevant to each factor in Khaled's decision. Use the market for daycare facilities as Khaled's market of interest.
A. Khaled knows there are few daycare facilities in the area, but many families looking for daycare.
B. An increase in graduation rates for teachers saturates the market for preschool teachers. This decreases the wages of teachers.
C. If Khaled opens his own facility, he will be responsible for taxes, insurance, licensing, and facility upkeep, among other things. However, as a teacher Khaled will only need to keep up his teaching license. In addition, Khaled will not be able to take a long vacation in the summer if he runs a daycare center.
D. Khaled is up for a raise in the next 6 months at his teaching job.
It should be noted that since Khaled knows there are few daycare facilities in the area, but many families looking for daycare, this illustrates an example of dependencies between people or business in the same market.

Suppose that Portugal and Germany both produce oil and cheese. Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 3 barrels of oil while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 11 barrels of oil.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.
Suppose that Portugal and Germany consider trading cheese and oil with each other. Portugal can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of oil for each pound of cheese it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of cheese for each barrel of oil it exports to Portugal.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of oil) would allow both Germany and Portugal to gain from trade?
a. 7 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
b. 18 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
c. 2 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
d. 5 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
Answer:
Portugal and Germany and Comparative Advantage
a. Portugal
b. Germany
c. 3 barrels of oil
d. 1/11 barrels of cheese
e. 4 (11/3) barrels of oil per pound of cheese.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Portugal's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 3 barrels of oil
Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese = 11 barrels of oil
3/11 = 0.27
b) Portugal enjoys comparative advantage in the production of cheese while Germany enjoys comparative advantage in the production of oil because Portugal can produce cheese at lower costs than Germany while Germany can produce oil more efficiently than Portugal. When these two countries specialize in the production of the product that they enjoy comparative advantage, more goods will be produced in total, and they can exchange their surpluses with each other.
Heinz Company began operations on January 1, 2017, and uses the first in, first out (FIFO) method in costing its raw material inventory. Management is contemplating a change to the last in, first out (LIFO) method and is interested in determining what effect such a change will have on net income. Accordingly, the following information has been developed: Final Inventory 2017 2018 FIFO $640,000 $ 712,000 LIFO $560,000 $636,000 Net Income (computed under the FIFO method) $980,000 $1,030,000 Based on the above information, a change to the LIFO method in 2018 would result in net income for 2018 of ________. Group of answer choices $1,070,000 $1,030,000 $954,000 $950,000
Answer:
C. $954,000
Explanation:
Final inventory FIFO LIFO Difference
2017 640,000 560,000 80,000
2018 712,000 636,000 76,000
Note: When method is changed to LIFO in 2018, it will effect ending inventory of 2018 only.
Net income as per FIFO $1,030,000
Decrease in income due to decrease -$76,000
in the ending inventory as per LIFO
Net income as per LIFO $954,000
So, a change to the LIFO method in 2018 would result in net income for 2018 of $954,000
Selling price$85 100% Variable expenses 51 60 Contribution margin$34 40% Fixed expenses are $77,000 per month and the company is selling 2,600 units per month. 2-a. Refer to the original data. How much will net operating income increase (decrease) per month if the company uses higher-quality components that increase the variable expense by $5 per unit and increase unit sales by 20%. 2-b. Should the higher-quality components be used
Answer:
The company should use high-quality components. It will increase the net operating income by $2,080 (13,480 - 11,400).
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the current net operating income:
Net operating income= total contribution margin - fixed costs
Net operating income= 2,600*34 - 77,000
Net operating income= $11,400
Now, the Net operating income including the high-quality component:
Unitary contribution margin= 85 - 56= $29
Number of units= 2,600*1.2= 3,120
Net operating income= 3,120*29 - 77,000
Net operating income= $13,480
The company should use high-quality components. It will increase the net operating income by $2,080 (13,480 - 11,400).

Pro-tech Software acquired all of the outstanding stock of Reliable software for $14 million. The book value of Reliable's net assets( assets minus liabilities) was $8.3 million. The fair values of Reliable's assets and liabilities equaled their book values with the exception of certain intangible assets whose fair values exceeded book values by $2.5 million. Calculate the amount paid for goodwill.
Answer:
$ 3,200,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount paid for goodwill.
Goodwill = $ 14,000,000 - ($8,300,000 + $ 2,500,000)
Goodwill = $ 14,000,000 -$10,800,000
Goodwill= $ 3,200,000
Therefore the amount paid for goodwill is $ 3,200,000

Farm workers in Oaks Farmville face a 1/85 probability of death at work and each of them receives a yearly wage of $159,106. Farm workers in Valley Farm face a 1/127 of death at work. Assume that both kinds of job require the same level of skills, effort and that all workers have the same preferences and tastes. The values of an statistical life is computed to be $1,262,558. How much should the workers in the less risky job should get paid
Answer:
$154,182.02
Explanation:
Probability of Farm workers in ( O.F ) facing death at work = 1/85 = 0.012
Probability of Farm workers in ( V.F ) facing death at work = 1/127 = 0.008
Value of a statistical life = $1,262,558
Determine how much the workers in less risky job should get paid
The less risky job is working in Valley farm(V.F ) with a death probability of = 1/127 = 0.008
The more risky job is working in valley farm ( probability = 1/85 = 0.012 )
Yearly wage of risky job = $159106
payment for less risky job can be calculated using the relation below
statistical life = ( cost incurred to reduce risk) / ( percentage of risk to death reduced ) ---------------- ( 1 )
cost incurred to reduce risk = yearly wage to high risk workers - yearly wage to low risk workers
= 159106 - X
percentage of risk to death reduced = (probability of death to high risk workers) - ( probability of death to low risk worker )
= 1/85 - 1/127 = 0.0039
back to relation 1
1262558 = ( 159106 - X ) / ( 0.0039)
159106 - X = 1262558 ( 0.0039 )
hence X ( amount to be paid to workers in the less risky job )
X = 159106 - 4923.9762 = $154,182.02

Suppose that Denver Financial Co. expects the exchange rate of the New Zealand dollar (NZ$) to appreciate from its current level of 0.5 to 0.55 in 30 days. Denver Financial seeks to capitalize on this potential opportunity. Suppose that Denver Financial begins by borrowing $30,000,000 and converting it to New Zealand dollars (NZ$). The following table shows the short-term interest rates (annualized) in the interbank market.
Currency Lending Rate Borrowing rate
(Adjusted for 30-day period) (Adjusted for 30-day period)
U.S. Dollars 6.62% 7.10%
New Zealand Dollars (NZ$) 6.38% 6.86%
Suppose that Denver Financial takes its NZ$60,000,000.00 and invests it. Denver Financial can earn a 0.0053 percent return after 30-days. Hint: Assume 360 days in a year At the end of 30-days, Denver Financial will have a total of NZ:___________(New Zealand dollars) from the investment.
a. $54287100
b. $42223300
c. $60319000
d. $48255200
Answer:
c. $60319000
Explanation:
My actual calculation was not exactly that number, it was NZ$60,318,000, but it is the closest option. You calculate it by multiplying the present value x (1 + interest rate) = $60,000,000 x (1 + 0.0053) = $60,000,000 x 1.0053 = $60,318,000
The question only asks to calculate the interest in NZ$, not to convert them to US$.
Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $1.50 , and the equilibrium quantity is 21.0 . When the price is $8.75 , the quantity supplied of cat food is 57.0 and the quantity supplied of dog food is 107.0 . For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same. Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for dog food. Please round to two decimal places.
Answer:
Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
New quantity supplied of dog food = 107.0
Old quantity supplied of dog food = Initial equilibrium quantity = 21.0
New price = $8.75
Old price = Initial equilibrium price = $1.50
Generally, the formula for calculating the elasticity of supply is as
follows:
Elasticity of supply = Percentage change in quantity supplied / Percentage change in price ................ (1)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity supplied of dog food = {(New quantity supplied of dog food - Old quantity supplied of dog food) / [(New quantity supplied of dog food + Old quantity supplied of dog food) / 2]} * 100 = {(107.0 - 21.0) / [(107.0 + 21.0) / 2]} * 100 = 134.375%
Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old price) / 2]} * 100 = {(8.75 - 1.50) / [(8.75 + 1.50) / 2]} * 100 = 141.463414634146%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of supply for dog food = 134.375% / 141.463414634146% = 0.94989224137931
Approximated to 2 decimal places, we have:
Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95
Contracts are typically private agreements in that they bind the two parties and no one else. Thus, parties not in privity of contract usually do not have rights to a contract. However, there are exceptions to the general rule. This activity outlines the importance of paying special attention to ramifications that result from assigning or delegating a contract, including the effects these actions have on assignees. Read the case and then answer the questions to create a strategy for how someone might determine the results of the scenario. Katerina owned property in Miami right on the beach that she leased to Scotty. Scotty used the property for business purposes, which was allowed under the lease. Three months into the lease, Scotty transferred his lease to a sports agent company for $5,000, which became the new tenant under the lease. Katerina became upset with Scotty's transferring of the lease because she thought that since she leased the property to Scotty, he should not be allowed to let anyone else lease the property. Furthermore, she had a strong aversion to sports agents after watching the movie Jerry Maguire, and she did not want any money-grubbing sports agents working on her property. Subsequently, Katerina wonders whether there is any way she can limit the ability of Scotty to transfer the lease. Walk through the different types of transferring of rights and duties. What type of transfer of rights or duties is described in this case
Answer:
The type of transfer of rights or duties described in this case is an assignment of contract rights.
Explanation:
Transfer of contract rights or duties may be either the assignment or the delegation of contractual rights and responsibilities to a third party. While assignment involves the transfer of rights or benefits from the assignor to the assignee, delegation involves the appointment of another party to perform one's duties under a contract.

Online retailers lose approximately 25% of their customers every year. Unfortunately, due to the highly competitive camping gear marketplace, Camp Plus loses approximately 35% of its customers every year to its competition, giving it a retention rate of only 65%. Using a discount rate of 10%, you calculate a CLV for each of the 10,000 customers in Camp Plus's database.
Answer:
CLV = [(GC * r) / (1 + i - r)] - AC]
Explanation:
CLV is the customer lifetime value which is the calculation of net profit during the tenure of relationship with the clients and customers.
The formula for CLV calculation is :
CLV = [(GC * r) / (1 + i - r)] - AC]
Where,
GC is annual gross contribution,
r is retention rate of customers
i is discount rate
AC is Acquisition cost

Harold Manufacturing produces denim clothing. This year, it produced 5,000 denim jackets at a manufacturing cost of $45 each. These jackets were damaged in the warehouse during storage. Management investigated the matter and identified three alternatives for these jackets. Jackets can be sold as is to a secondhand clothing shop for $6 each.Jackets can be disassembled at a cost of $32,000 and sold to a recycler for $12 each.Jackets can be reworked and turned into good jackets. However, with the damage, management estimates it will be able to assemble the good parts of the 5,000 jackets into only 3,000 jackets. The remaining pieces of fabric will be discarded. The cost of reworking the jackets will be $102,000, but the jackets can then be sold for their regular price of $45 each.Required:1. Calculate the incremental income.
Answer:
ALTERNATIVE 1 $30,000
ALTERNATIVE 2 $28,000
ALTERNATIVE 3 $33,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the incremental income
ALTERNATIVE 1 Sell as it is
Incremental revenue $30,000
(5,000*$6)
Incremental costs $0
Incremental Income $30,000
ALTERNATIVE 2 Disassemble and sell to recycler
Incremental revenue $60,000
(5,000*$12)
Incremental costs $32,000
Incremental Income $28,000
ALTERNATIVE3 Rework and turn into good jackets
Incremental revenue $135,000
(3,000*$45)
Incremental costs $102,000
Incremental Income $33,000
Therefore based on the above calculation the company should choose ALTERNATIVE 3 of the amount of $33,000
Northwest Iron and Steel is considering getting involved in electronic commerce. A modest e-commerce package is available for $30,000. The company wants to recover the cost in 2 years. Find the equivalent amount of new revenue that must be realized every 6 months at an interest rate of 3% per quarter using a factor formula, and a single-cell spreadsheet function that includes an EFFECT function.
The equivalent amount of new revenue that must be realized every 6 months at an interest rate of 3% per week is:_________
Answer:
$8,693
Explanation:
Effective annual interets rate: AI = (1+i/m)^n - 1
i = 3*2=6%, m = 26
AI = [1+6%/26]^26 - 1
AI = 1.0617 - 1
AI = 0.0617
Let semi annual income be $X. So, present value of four semiannual income will be aggregated to get principal invetsed money of $30,000
30,000 = ∑[X/1.0617^n}
30,000 = 3.451 * X
X = 8693.132425383947
X = $8,693
Therefore, firm have to earn $8,693 after every 6 months at an interest rate of 3% per week to recover $30,000 initial investment in 2 years
The firm has to earn $8,693 after every 6 months at a rate of interest of 3% per week to recover $30,000 initial investment in 2 years.
What do you mean by present value?Present value(PV) is the present value of future cash flows or cash flows provided for a specified amount of return. Future cash flows are reduced by the discount rate, and when the discount rate is high, the present value of future cash flows decreases.
As per the given information:
[tex]\rm\,Effective \;annual \;interest \;rate: AI = (1+\frac{i}{m} )^{n} - 1\\\\i = 3\times2=6\%, \rm\,m = 26\\\\AI = [1+\dfrac{6\%}{26} ]^{26} - 1\\\\AI = 1.0617 - 1\\\\AI = 0.0617[/tex]
Let semi-annual income be $X.
So, the present value of four semiannual incomes will be aggregated to get principal invested money of $30,000
[tex]30,000 = \rm\,Summation[\frac{X}{1.0617} ^{n}]\\\\30,000 = 3.451 \times \rm\,X\\\\X = 8693.132425383947\\\\X = \$8,693[/tex]
Hence, the firm has to earn $8,693 after every 6 months at a rate of interest of 3% per week to recover $30,000 initial investment in 2 years.

You bought two acres of land for $200,000 ten years ago. Although it is zoned for commercial use, it currently holds eight small, singlefamily houses. A property management firm that wants to continue leasing the eight houses has offered you $400,000 for the property. A developer wants to build a 12-story apartment building on the site and has offered $600,000. What value should you assign to the property
Answer:
$500,000
Explanation:
in order to calculate the value you should determine the expected return or sales price of the land = price of land x probability of sale
In this case, you have two offers and apparently you haven't decided which to choose, so the expected return = ($400,000 x 50%) + ($600,000 x 50%) = $200,000 + $300,000 = $500,000
