Answer:

a. It will increase.

b. It will decrease

c. It will decrease

d. it will increase.

Explanation:

If the price of an input needed for production of good X decreases, the cost of production of good X reduces. It becomes cheaper to produce good X and and as a result the supply of good X would increase.

An increase in tax increases the cost of production and makes production of good X more expensive. As a result, the supply of good X would fall.

technological change that reduces the cost of producing additional units of good X, would make the production of good X less expensive. As a result, the supply of good X would increase

Feather Friends, Inc., distributes a high-quality wooden birdhouse that sells for $20 per unit. Variable expenses are $8 per uni
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sales Price p.u                           =  20

Variable Cost                             =  (8)

Contribution per unit                = 12

C.M Ratio = 12/20   = 60%

2)

break even =   fix cost/ Cm per unit

Break Even =  180,000/.6

Break Even =   300,000

3) Fix will not change due to increase in units sold

75000/20= 3750 increase in units

CM in $=   3750*12 = 45000

Net operating already given in the question =60000

Increase in operating inc. due to increase in sales= 45000

Total Net operating income = 105000

4.a)

degree of operating leverage=Change in operating income/ change in sale

degree of operating leverage=  45000/75000 = 0.6

4.b)

Sales with 20% increase = 400000*1.2 = 480000

Varible cost 20% increase = 160000*1.2 =192000

Fix Cost                                                      =180000

Operating Income                                     =108000

Net increase in operating income = 108000/60000-1 = 80%

5)

A)                                               10% Decrease   25% increase in units

Sales                 400000     360000        450000

Variable Cost -160000   0                -200000

Selling Cost                 0      -30000         -30000

Fix Cost                 -180000         0               -180000

Net Oper. Income    60000                          40000

Decrease in price will not affect the cost but sales will decrease by $40000

Increase in Sales units will also increase the Cost affects are shown above

In both case Fix cost will remain the same.

6.B)

No i will not recommend the manager's suggestion because the net operating will decrease by $ 20000 as shown above in part 5.a

6)

operating Income = 60000

Advertisement Expense = 60000

Current units sale = 20000*25% = 5000 increase in units

Net Cm * Increase in Units = 5000*12 = 60000 incremental Income Due to increase of 25% Sales

So putting the Same operating income That is 60000 and we have incremental income that can be used as Advertisement expense i.e 60000

Sally's Chocolate Company makes gourmet cupcakes which are sold by the dozen. Compute the standard cost for one dozen cupcakes,
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The correct answer is $15.69.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data as follow:-

We can calculate the cupcake sold by the dozen by using following formula:-

Cost for a dozen cupcake = Direct material  + Direct labor + Factory OH

Where,

Direct material = 4.25 × $0.56 = $2.38

Direct labor = 1.10 × $8.30 = $9.13

Factory overhead = 1.10 × $3.80 = $4.18

By putting the value in the formula, we get

= $2.38 + $9.13 + $4.18

= $15.69

stock that has a current price of $25.00, a beta of 1.25, and a dividend yield of 6%. If the Treasury bill yield is 5% and the m
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$30.2067

Explanation:

From the given question, using the dividend discount model

V_0 = \dfrac{D_1}{r - g}

where:

r is the Expected return on stock and be calculated as:

Expected return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta × (Expected Market Return - Risk free rate)

Expected return on stock = 5% + 1.25 × (14% - 5%) = 16.25%

However, the current price in this process will b used as the dividend price for all future expenses.

Dividend Yield = Current Dividend/The Share Price

Current dividend D0 = 6% × $25.00 = $1.50

D₁ = D₀ × (1 + g)

D₁ = 1.5 × (1 + g)

Thus, we can now employ the use of the growth dividend model (constant) to determine the value of g as follows:

25 = \dfrac{1.5 \times (1 + g)}{0.1625 - g}

By cross multiply, we have:

4.0625 - 25g = 1.5 + 1.5g

collect like terms, we have:

4.0625 - 1.5 = 1.5g + 25g

2.5625 = 26.5g

Divide both sides by 26.5, we have:

2.5625/26.5 = 26.5g/26.5

g = 9.67%

Similarly, suppose the value for the second year-end to be Y₂;

Then the constant growth dividend model can be computed as:

Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}

where;

D₃ = D₂ × (1 + g)

D₂ × (1 + g) = D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)  = D₀ × (1 + g) × 3

D₃ = 1.5 × (1 + 9.67%) × 3

D₃ = $1.9876

Finally:

Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}

Y_2 = \dfrac{1.9876}{0.1625 - 0.0967}

Y₂ = $30.2067
