You are considering starting a company that manufactures racing bicycles. You are planning on financing your firm 40% equity and 60% debt. You estimate that your upfront costs will be $5M, and that you will earn an EBIT of $1M per year for the next 12 years. Lightning Bolt Bikes makes racing bicycles similar to the ones that you wish to manufacture. They have a CAPM equity beta of 1.9 and a debt to equity ratio of 0.7. The tax rate for both firms is 35%, the riskless rate is 3%, and the expected return on the S&P500 is 15%. Cost of Debt is 6%

Part A (5 points). What is the asset beta of Lightning Bolt Bikes?

Part B (5 points). What is your unlevered cost of equity?

Part C (5 points). What is your firm’s equity beta?

Part D (10 points). What is your firm’s weighted average cost of capital?

Part E (5 points). What is the NPV of your proposed bicycle company using the WACC method?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. Asset beta measures company's risk or volatility of return in assets without the effect of leverage financing or debt.

Asset beta= Equity beta / 1+(1-tax rate) *debt / equity

2. Unlevered cost of equity measures the returns on assets without the effect of debt

Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free return + Asset Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free return)

3. Equity beta measures security prices' volatility to change in the market

4. Weighted average cost of capital is the weighted average cost or average cost of all capital sources employed by the company in financing it's assets

Weighted Average cost of capital = Cost of Equity * proportion of equity + Cost of debt after tax rate * proportion of debt

Expected return in CAPM= Risk free return +asset beta *market return -risk free return

Jane is planning to go on a camping trip. The items that Jane has purchased from the supermarket are non durable goods.

What do you mean by the non durable goods?

The lifespan of consumer nondurable items, which are bought for immediate or nearly immediate consumption, ranges from minutes to three years. These frequently include things like meals, drinks, clothes, shoes, and gasoline.

Non-durable commodities are typically produced, delivered, and sold to consumers quickly.

These products are frequently used very rapidly as well, thus consumers require a constant supply in order to keep stocking up.

Deal Leasing leased equipment to Hand Company on January 1, 2021. The leased equipment's book value is $420,000 with no estimated residual value at the end of its useful life. The remaining useful life of the leased equipment is 15 years. The lease payments were calculated to provide the lessor a 10% return. Ten annual lease payments of $60,000 are due at the beginning of each year beginning January 1, 2021. Both companies use the straight-line method in depreciation/amortization their assets.

Jan 1st, 2021 entry:

Equipment    746,168 debit

    Lease Liability    723,668 credit

    Cash                     22,500 credit

April 1st, 2021 entry:

Interest expense    7,537 debit

Lease Liability       15,263 debit

         Cash              22,800 credit

Explanation:

We will assume a 750,000 sales revenue per quarter. As this was their historical and expected value:

750,000 x 3% = 22,500 per quarter

Now, we solve for the present value of the lease payment:

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}(1+r) = PV\\[/tex]

C 22,500

time 40 (10 years x 4 quarter per year)

rate 0.01 (4% annual / 4 quarters)

[tex]22500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.01)^{-40} }{0.01}(1+0.01) = PV\\[/tex]

PV $746,168.2419

we subtract the first payment of 22,500

lease liability reocrded in the enrty: 723.668

As lease sales were 760,000

lease payment: 760,000 x 3% = 22,800

less expected of 22,500 = 300 additional interest expense

interest expense: 723,668 x 0.01 = 7,237 + 300 = 7,537

amortization on lease liability: 22,800 -7,537 = 15,263

Answers

Answer:

a. Current Ratio  = current assets / current liabilities = 190,000 / 153,000 = 1.24

b. Acid-test ratio  = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (190,000 - 50,000) / 153,000 = 0.92

c. Times interest earned  = EBIT / interest expense = 65,000 / 8,000 = 8.13

d. Inventory turnover  = COGS / inventory = 90,000 / 50,000 = 1.8

e. Total asset turnover  = net sales / total assets = 210,000 / 525,000 = 0.4

f. Operating profit margin  = operating income / total sales = 65,000 / 210,000 = 0.31

g. Days in receivables  = (accounts receivables / total sales) x 365 = (30,000 / 210,000) x 365 =  52.14 days

h. Operating return on assets  = operating income / total assets = 65,000 / 525,000 = 0.12

i. Debt ratio  = total liabilities / total assets = 273,000 / 525,000 = 0.52

j. Fixed asset turnover  = total sales / fixed assets = 210,000 / 335,000 = 0.63

k. Return on equity = net income / total equity = 45,030 / 252,000 = 0.18

Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $2. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $4. In year 3, the quantity produced is 7 bars and the price is $6.

Required:
Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.

Answers

Answer:

Nominal GDP in year 1 = $6

Nominal GDP in year 2 = $20

Nominal GDP in year 3 =  $42

Real GDP in year 1 = $6

Real GDP in year 2 = $10

Real GDP in year 3 =  $14

GDP deflator in year 1 = 100

GDP deflator in year 2 = 200

GDP deflator in year 3 = 300

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.

Nominal GDP = quantity produced x current year price

Nominal GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6

Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $4 = $20

Nominal GDP in year 3 = 7 x $6 = $42

Real GDP = quantity produced x base year price

Real GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6

Real GDP in year 2 = 5 x $2 = $10

Real GDP in year 3 = 7 x $2 = $14

GDP deflator = nominal GDP / Real GDP x 100

GDP deflator in year 1 = $6 / $6 x 100 = 100

GDP deflator in year 2 = $20 / $10 x 100= 200

GDP deflator in year 3 = $42 / 14 x 100 = 300

Consider the experiments. Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. Rocket A, which requires additional equipment to keep it stable, is used to test one fuel mixture, and rocket B is used to test the other. Both rockets are identical aside from their mass. The results indicate that rocket B traveled farther than rocket A over the same period of time. Experiment 2: A double-blind experiment is performed to test whether a new drug is effective in lowering blood pressure. A random sample of subjects with high blood pressure is assigned to two groups. One group receives the new drug and the other group does not. Neither group is permitted to take any other medications during the experiment or to change their lifestyles in any way. The results of the experiment show that the drug is effective in lowering blood pressure.

Identify the experiment in which confounding occurs and the reason for its occurrence.

a. Neither experiment has a confounding variable.
b. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the fuel mixtures. Varying the fuel mixture could skew the results of the study and should be kept constant.
c. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the type of experiment. A double-blind experiment may increase the risk of the placebo effect and possibly skew the results.
d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.
e. Experiment 2 has a confounding variable related to the subjects used. Choosing a sample of subjects with high blood pressure instead of individuals with different blood pressure levels may confuse the results.

Answers

Answer:

d. Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

Explanation:

Both experiments have confounding variables.  But the reasons given for the occurrence of the confounder in experiment 2 do not justify (c) and (e) as correct answers.  By definition, confounders are factors other than the independent variable that cause differences in outcome.  For experiment 1, the different masses of the two rockets affect the independent variable (fuel mixture) being studied, and actually cause the discrepancy in the distance traveled as indicated in answer (d).  Other examples of confounders are placebo, weather, age, and experimenter bias which a double-blind can eliminate.

Managers must be able to determine whether their workers are doing an effective and efficient job, with a minimum of errors and disruptions. They do so by using a performance appraisal, an evaluation that measures employee performance against established standards in order to make decisions about promotions, compensation, training, or termination. Managing effectively means getting results through top performance. That's what performance appraisals at all levels of the organization are for—including at the top, where managers benefit from review by their subordinates. In the 360-degree review, management gathers opinions from all around the employee, including those under, above, and on the same level, to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the worker's abilities.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

This system of performance review is a 360-degree review or feedback process where a given employee receives inputs on her performance (or other criteria such as behaviors, competencies and results achieved) from different employees with varying working relationships and at different levels.  The idea is to ensure that the employee's performance is not partial or biased.  Using this system, the employee who may be a manager will have her performance reviewed by employees below, above, and on the same level with her.

Calloway Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $790,000 in a 10-year finance lease. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%. The balance in the right-of-use asset after two years will be:

Answers

Answer:

$632,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of balance in the right of use asset after two years is shown below:

Balance in right of use asset after 2 years is

= Recorded value - ((Recorded value × rate of interest) × number of years)

= $790,000 - (($790,000 × 10%) × 2)

= $790,000 - ($79,000 × 2)

= $790,000 - $158,000

= $632,000

hence, the balance is $632,000

The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:

sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,

where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)

(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?

(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?

(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is

= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.

If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?

(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.

(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?

Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model

sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.

(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?

(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?

Answers

Answer:

1. I²1 will have a negative sign

This is because the more work the adults do, the less sleep they will utilize.

2. The sign of i²2 is likely to be negative. This is because due to the demands placed on them, more educated people are likely to sleep less. Also, general as age increases some people sleep less. While some others sleep more as it increases. So i²3 is a bit complicated to judge.

3. Using the data

^sleep = 3638.24-0.148toteork-11.13educ + 2.20age

N = 706 r² = 0.113

We will convert 5 hours to minutes = 60x5 = 300

Coefficient of totwork = 0.148

O.148x300 = 44.4 minutes

In a week approximately 45 minutes of less sleep is not too much a change.

4. We are to discuss the sign and magnitude of estimated education

More education indicates less sleeping time. This is obvious given the sign of the variable educ. It is negative, but it's effect is quite small. Magnitude is -11.13.

So as education increases by 1 year, expected sleeping time decreases by 11.13 minutes weekly.

5. R² is 0.113. the 3 predictor variables gives us 11.3% of total variations in sleep and rest. 88.7% is unexplained.

Some factors that might also affect it are general health, number and age of children are factors that could correlate with totwork

Which section of a CAR Residential Purchase Agreement is a provision divided into three sections: mediation, arbitration of disputes, and additional terms?

Answers

Answer: Appraisal contingency and Removal.

Explanation:

The appraisal contingency, is a kind of CAR residential purchase agreement, which allows a buyer to back out of the deal if the house appraises for less than the already agreed-upon value. and the loan contingency, this term lets the buyer back out if he/she can't get their loan approved for the said purposes.

One-year Treasury securities yield 4.85%. The market anticipates that 1 year from now, 1-year Treasury securities will yield 5.2%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield today for 2-year Treasury securities

Answers

Answer:

5.025%

Explanation:

When we assume that the pure expectations theory is correct, then we are assuming that there is no risk premium involved. The formula to determine the yield for the 2 year treasury security:

(1 + i)² = (1 + 4.85%) x (1 + 5.2%)

(1 + i)² = 1.0485 x 1.052

(1 + i)² = 1.103022

√(1 + i)² = √1.103022

1 + i = 1.050248542

i = 0.050248542 = 5.025%

f Europe has a real GDP growth rate of 5%, and the United States has a real GDP growth rate of 6%, while money growth in Europe is 7%, and money growth in the United States is 5%, what would the monetary exchange rate model predict for exchange rates in the long run

Answers

Answer:

the dollar will appreciate by 3% against the euro

Explanation:

long run change in the exchange rate = (growth rate money supply Europe - growth rate money supply US) - (growth rate real GDP Europe - growth rate real GDP US) = (7% -  5%) - (5% - 6%) = 2% - (-1%) = 2% + 1% = 3%

This is a very simplistic approach to the monetary exchange rate model, but since we are given only this information, it's all that we can use.

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning versus outsourcing for each of these components (staff, computer servers, software licensing, and data storage)?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation below

Explanation:

Outsourcing simply involves the act of contracting our certain business activities and processes to third-party providers.  

Staff

When you outsource your staff, you can be able to save cots and use the freed capital for other things but the disadvantage would certainly be around the issue of confidentiality of business information.  

When you outsource computer servers, software licensing, and data storage, you would gain access to world-class capabilities because the third-party providers would likely provide them to meet their customers.  

There would also be shared risks as part of the benefits. The disadvantages could include loss of control. People who discourage outsourcing of these functions are of the opinion that third-party vendor cannot be able to match the level of responsiveness and levels of services that could be offered by an in-house team

Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $4. In year 2, the quantity produced is 4 bars and the price is $5. In year 3, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $6. Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The nominal GDP is the market value of goods within a country adjusted for price change.

Nominal GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at current price = 3 bars × $4 = $12

Nominal GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at current price = 4 bars × $5 = $20

Nominal GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at current price = 5 bars × $6 = $30

The real GDP is the market value of goods within a country at current price.

Real GDP for year 1 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 3 bars × $4 = $12

Real GDP for year 2 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 4 bars × $4 = $16

Real GDP for year 3 = Total market value of goods at base year price = 5 bars × $4 = $20

GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP multiplied by 100.

GDP deflator in year 1 = (Nominal GDP in year 1 / Real GDP in year 1) × 100 = ($12/$12) × 100 = 100

GDP deflator in year 2 = (Nominal GDP in year 2 / Real GDP in year 2) × 100 = ($20/$16) × 125 = 100

GDP deflator in year 3 = (Nominal GDP in year 3 / Real GDP in year 3) × 100 = ($30/$20) × 100 = 150

Explanation:

Bird Corp.'s trademark was licensed to Brian Co. for royalties of 15% of the sales of the trademarked items. Royalties are payable semiannually on March 15 for sales in July through December of the prior year, and on September 15 for sales in January through June of the same year. Bird received the following royalties from Brian:
March 15 September 15
20X4 $5,000 $7,500
20X5 6,000 8,500
Brian estimated that the sales of the trademarked items would total $30,000 for July through December 20X5. In Bird's 20X5 Income Statement, the royalty revenue should be:______.
a. $13,000.
b. $14,500.
c. $19,000.
d. $20,500.

Answers

Answer:

a. $13,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what royalty revenue should be

First step is to find the estimated amount for the second half of the year

Royalties for the second half =

15%*$30,000

Royalties for the second half= $4,500

Now let Compute for the total royalty revenue

Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$8,500+$4,500

Total royalty revenue for 20X5=$13,000

Therefore the royalty revenue should be $13,000

Swifty Company purchased equipment for $256,800 on October 1, 2020. It is estimated that the equipment will have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $12,000. Estimated production is 48,000 units and estimated working hours are 20,400. During 2020, Swifty uses the equipment for 600 hours and the equipment produces 1,000 units.

Required:
Compute depreciation expense under each of the following methods. Swifty is on a calendar-year basis ending December 31.

a. Straight-line method for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
b. Activity method (units of output) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
c. Activity method (working hours) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
d. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method for 2022 $enter a dollar amount (e) Double-declining-balance method for 2021

Answers

Answer:

a.  Straight line method.

Depreciation per annum = ($ 256,800 - $12,000 ) / 8 = $ 30,600.

Depreciation for 2020 = $ 30,600 * ( 3 /12 ) = $ 7,650.

b. Units of output

Depreciation per unit = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 48,000 = $ 5.1

Depreciation for 2020 = 1,000 * $ 5.1 = $ 5,100.

c. Working hours.

Depreciation per hours = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 20,400 = $ 12

Depreciation for 2020 = 600 * $ 12 = $ 7,200.

D. Sum of digits method

Sum of years = 8 ( 8 +1 ) / 2 = 36.

Year - 1 used ( 3 / 12 = 0.25)

Year-2 used ( 12 / 12 = 1 )

Remaining ( 8 - 1 - 0.25 = 6.75)

Depreciation for 2022 = ($ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) * ( 6.75 / 36 )

Depreciation for 2022 = $ 45,900.

e. Double declining balance

Depreciation rate = 200 / 8 = 25 %.

Depreciation for 2020 = $256,800 * 25 % * (3 /12)

Depreciation for 2020 = $16,050.  

Depreciation for 2021 = ( $256,800 - $ 16,050) * 25%

Depreciation for 2021 = $60,188.

A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $12,600 to install and will have a useful life of 4 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. are expected to be $1,400. A new power line will cost $11,000 to install, with power costs expected to be $800 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 4 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 10% per year, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis?

Answers

Answer:

Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.

Explanation:

The future worth analysis refers to an act of determining what the the worth of present amount of money or stream of money invested at an interest rate will after in some period or years to come.

To determine which one to select between solar cells and running an electric line, the we need to calculate the future worth of both and compared as follows:

a. Calculation of future value of solar cells

Calculation of future worth of $12,600 installation cost

FW of $12,600 = PW of $12,600 * (1 + r)^n ................ (1)

Where;

FW of $12,600 = Future worth of $12,600 installation cost = ?

PW of $12,600 = Present worth of $12,600 installation cost = $12,600

r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of years = 4

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * (1 + 0.10)^4

FW of $12,600 = $12,600 * 1.4641

FW of $12,600 = $18,447.66

Calculation of future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400

The future worth of annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FW of $1,400 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)

Where,

FW of $1,400 = Future value of Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. of $1,400 =?

M = Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. = $1,400

r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of years = 4

Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:

FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)

FW of $1,400 = $1,400 * 4.060401

FW of $1,400 = $5,684.56

Calculation of total future worth of solar cells

This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $12,600 and FW of $1,400 as follows:

Total future worth of solar cells = FW of $12,600 + FW of $1,400 = $18,447.66 + $5,684.56 = $24,132.22

Therefore, the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22.

b. Calculation of future value of running an electric line

Calculation of future worth of $11,000 installation cost

FW of $11,000 = PW of $11,000 * (1 + r)^n ................ (3)

Where;

FW of $11,000 = Future worth of $11,000 installation cost = ?

PW of $11,000 = Present worth of $11,000 installation cost = $11,000

r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of years = 4

Substitute the values into equation (3), we have:

FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * (1 + 0.10)^4

FW of $11,000 = $11,000 * 1.4641

FW of $11,000 = $16,105.10

Calculation of future worth of expected annual power costs of $800

The future worth of expected annual power costs of $800 can also be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FW of $800 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (4)

Where,

FW of $800 = Future value of expected annual power costs of $800 =?

M = Expected annual power costs = $800

r = interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of years = 4

Substitute the values into equation (4), we have:

FW of $800 = $800 * (((1 + 0.01)^4 - 1) / 0.01)

FW of $800 = $800 * 4.060401

FW of $800 = $3,248.32

Calculation of total future worth of running an electric line

This is calculated by simply adding the FW of $11,000 and FW of $800 as follows:

Total future worth of running an electric line = FW of $11,000 + FW of $800 = $16,105.10 + $3,248.32 = $19,353.42

Therefore, the total future worth of running an electric line is $19,353.42.

c. Conclusion

Since the total future worth of running an electric line of $19,353.42 is less than the total future worth of solar cells is $24,132.22, it implies that it will be cheaper to run an electric line than to use solar cells. Therefore, running an electric line should be selected.

Answer:

Growing the country's economy Aiding in the creation of capital formation Managing and mitigating the risks

Explanation:

The Financial system is very important because it helps grow the economy of the country. They do this by creating capital when they transfer funds from those who have it (savers) to those who need it (borrowers). These borrowers will then use it to invest in projects that will grow the economy.

The Financial system also works to manage and mitigate risk because they have experience in such areas and are able to discern which projects to go after to avoid or properly manage risk.

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon, and employees at grocery stores earn $21.50 per hour. Indicate the following whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it results in a shortage or a surplus or has no effect on the price and quantity that prevail in the market.

a. There are many teenagers who would like to work at grocery stores, but the minimum-wage law sets the hourly wage at $25.00.
b. The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
c. The government prohibits grocery stores from selling milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.

Answers

Explanation:

at price ceiling we have price set at a maximum level. it cannot be raised beyond this level. At binding price ceiling, price would be set to be lower than what is the equilibrium price level.  a non binding price ceiling is set to be higher than equilibrium level.

At price floor, price is set to a particular minimum level.  It cannot fall lower than this. At binding price floor, price is higher than equilibrium price' at non binding price floor, it is set to be lower than equilibrium price level.

The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?

Answers

Answer:

$7,900

Explanation:

Calculation for the annual after-tax cost

Additional salary = $ 10,000

Marginal tax rate=21%

First step is to find the income tax benefit

Income tax benefit = $ 10,000 x 21%

Income tax benefit= $ 2,100

Second step is to find the Annual after tax cost of additional salary

Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $ 10,000 - $2,100

Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $7,900

Therefore the annual after-tax cost will be $7,900

Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total:

Answers

Answer:

539,000.00  

Explanation:

As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.

For Etuck327,

The selling price is $39

Variable expense is $28

Break-even in units is 49,000 books.

Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs

=$39- $28

=$11

if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then

49,000= fixed cost / 11

fixed costs = 11 x 49000

Fixed costs = 539,000.00
