The minimum requirement of salary = $53760

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cost of living in city is 12 percent higher than where Luke Anderson lives. So, Luke Anderson will require 12 percent higher salary than existing salary in order to maintain the existing standard of living

<u>The calculations are as follows. </u>

Current salary of Luke Anderson = $48000

12 percent increase = 48000 multiply with 12 percent = 5760

Thus, the required minimum salary = 48000+ 5760 = 53760

So, Luke Anderson will require minimum salary of $53760

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Total surplus is the area bounded by points a, b, and c. To calculate total surplus, we use the following formula for the area of a triangle: Area = ½ × Base × Height. The area between the demand curve and the supply curve for the quantity ranging from 0 to 20 is the total economic surplus. This is a triangle with a base (best read off the price axis) of $80, which is the price difference at Q = 0, or between points a and c, and a height of 20 (the number of units purchased in equilibrium). Using these values, we have a total surplus of (1/2) × $80 × 20 = $800.

The consumer surplus is the area between the demand curve and the equilibrium price line. Here we have a base of $40 (the price difference between the demand schedule price at Q = 0, which is $85, and the equilibrium price of $45). The height of the triangle is once again 20 (the number of units purchased in equilibrium). Using these values, we have a consumer surplus of (1/2) × 40 × 20 = $400.

b. Deadweight loss is the difference in total surplus between an efficient level of output Q1 and a reduced level of output at Q2. We can calculate this as the area of a triangle bounded by points bde. The base of this triangle is the difference in prices at points d and e, or $55 – $35 = $20. The height of this triangle is given by the difference in the restricted level of output of Q2 = 15 and the efficient level of output Q1 = 20, or 5 units. Thus, the area of this triangle (the deadweight loss) is equal to (1/2) × $20 × 5 = $50. The remaining total surplus can be found by subtracting the deadweight loss from the original (efficient) total surplus. This is $800 (maximum total surplus) – $50 (deadweight loss) = $750.

c. The deadweight loss from overproduction is the difference in total surplus between an efficient level of output Q1 and an additional level of output at Q3. We can calculate this as the area of a triangle bounded by points bfg. The base of this triangle is the difference in prices at points f and g, or $59 – $31 = $28. The height of this triangle is given by the difference in the additional level of output Q3 = 27 and the efficient level of output Q1 = 20, or 7 units. Thus, the area of this triangle (the deadweight loss) is equal to (1/2) × $28 × 7 = $98. The remaining total surplus can be found by subtracting the deadweight loss from the original total surplus. This is $800 (maximum total surplus) – $98 (deadweight loss) = $702. Note here that we maximize total (producer + consumer) surplus by producing the equilibrium quantity, but we lose surplus from overproduction (inefficient use of resources).

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

$7,986

Explanation:

To calculate the equivalent annual cost for 5 year period at an interest rate of 10% per year we need to go through some minor calculations first.

DATA

Cost in first year (A) = $10,000

Decrease in cost each year after the first year (G) = $560

Interest rate = 10%

Time period = 5 years

Solution

EAC = A - G (A/G, i, n)

EAC = $9,000 - $560(A/G, 10%, 5)

EAC = $9,000 - ($560 * 1.8101)

EAC = $9,000 - $1,013.656

EAC = $7,986

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

1)

<u>a) First, we need to calculate the total estimated overhead:</u>

Total overhead= 1,100,000 + (5*50,000)= 1,350,000

<u>Now, we can determine the overhead rate:</u>

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,350,000/50,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $27 per machine hour

<u>b) </u>

Job D-75:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 27*20,000

Total cost= $1,600,000

Job C-200:

Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 27*30,000

Total cost= $1,760,000

c) Selling price= 150% of manufacturing costs

Job D-75= 1,600,000*1.5= $2,400,000

Job C-200= 1,760,000*1.5= $2,640,000

d) COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS=  0 + (1,600,000 + 1,760,000) - 0

COGS= $3,360,000

<u>2) </u>

<u>a) </u>

Molding= (800,000/20,000) + 5= $45 per machine hour

Assembly= (300,000/30,000) + 5= $15 per machine hour

<u>b) </u>

Job D-75:

Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 45*20,000

Total cost= $$1,960,000

Job C-200:

Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 15*30,000

Total cost= $1,400,000

<u>c) </u>

Job D-75= 1,960,000*1.5= $2,940,000

Job C-200= 1,400,000*1.5= $2,100,000

<u>d)</u> COGS= 0 + (1,960,000 + 1,400,000) + 0

COGS= $3,360,000

Trapper Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Und
mariarad [96]

Answer:

EPS

Plan I     $2.03 per share

Plan II    $1.78 per share

Explanation:

Plan I

As this plan is all equity plan, so there is no debt and no interest expense as well.

In the absence of taxes, We will use the EBIT  in the calculation of EPS

EPS  = Net Earning / Outstanding numbers of shares = $375,000 / 185,000 = $2.03 per share

Plan II

In this levered plan we have debt and equity combination. We also have to deduct the interest expense from EBIT to calculate the net income.

Interest Expense = $2,700,000 x 5% = $135,000

Net Income  = EBIT - Interest Expense = $375,000 - $135,000 = $240,000

EPS = Net Income / Outstanding numbers of shares = $240,000 / 135,000 = $1.8 per share
