Answer:
The company should make the components because incremental costs are $2 less than the purchase price
Explanation:
The cost of making each unit of component = Direct Labour + Direct Material + Variable Overhead*
*The overhead cost of $4 contains both a fixed and variable element. It has been mentioned that 25% of overhead cost is incremental i.e. it increases with each additional unit produced (marginal cost). The incremental cost is the variable element.
Variable element = $4 x 25% = $1
Fixed element = $4 x 75% = $3
Thus, the cost of making each unit of component = $5 + $2 + $1 = $8,
whereas the cost of purchasing each unit of complement is $10. Hence, the company should produce the component as it is less by $2 ($10 - $8) to produce than it is to purchase.

Explanation:
a.
• Reasonable compensation package. Every stockholders would usually want a good return on their investments. One of the techniques that can be used by them is to offer good and reasonable compensation packages to the company's highly performing executives and managers. The aim is to spur them to act in the best interest of the stockholders and not themselves. This will also translate to better performance of the company.
• Firing of managers who don't perform well. If a company's stock is not performing well(does not appreciate), such would usually be tied to its board and managers. Stockholders are the owners of a company because their funds are being used to trade hence can threaten to replace or actually replace any manager who is not performing well. By so doing, the managers that are retained will be motivated to perform really well in order to retain their jobs hence translate to better company performance.
• Threat of hostile take over. Stockholders could also threaten a company's board of being taken over by a proven and well accomplished company , if their stock price does not improve overtime. When the managers or board realize that their job is being threatened, they will be motivated to act fast by ensuring that the company's stocks yield adequate return in the long run.
b.
What should be paramount to managers is how to ensure that their company's intrinsic stocks value(an estimate of the true value of a stock, that is premised on well calculated risk) are well maximized. The stockholders should also be carried along while this process is on going. By maximizing their stock's intrinsic value, such would bring about high value to the stocks, while as time goes on, the actual stock price will be much closer to the intrinsic value of the stocks.
Answer:
The increase in the monthly payment amount is $180
Explanation:
In order to calculate the increase in the monthly payment amount we would have to make the following calculation:
increase in the monthly payment amount=installment increase-installment
installment=(loan amount/1,000)*rate of interest
installment=($120,000/1,000)*4
installment=$480
installment increase=(loan amount/1,000)*rate of interest
installment increase=($120,000/1,000)*5.5
installment increase=$660
increase in the monthly payment amount=$660-$480
increase in the monthly payment amount=$180
The increase in the monthly payment amount is $180
Answer:
$4,000 gain
Explanation:
Some information was missing:
the spot rates for euros were:
- November 15, 20X3 $0.4955 per €1
- December 10, 20X3 $0.4875 per €1
- December 31, 20X3 $0.4675 per €1
- January 10, 20X4 $0.4475 per €1
In Chow's December 31, 20X3, income statement, the foreign exchange gain is ?
the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4875 = $97,500 on December 10, 20x3
the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4675 = $93,500 on December 31, 20x3
Since the goods were sold FOB shipping point, we have to use the shipping date (December 10) to calculate the original price. By December 31, the price in US dollars had decreased by $4,000 resulting in a foreign exchange gain.
