Answer:
1. Supposed Funday Park cuts its ticket price from $85 to $68 to increase the number of tickets sold. Compute the new break even point in tickets and in sales dollars.
a. The new break even point in tickets is?
= $428,400 / ($68 - $17) = 8,400 tickets
b. The new break even point in sales dollars is?
8,400 x $68 = $571,200
2. Ignore the information in question 1. Instead assume that Funday Park increases the variable cost from $17 to $34 per ticket. Compute the new break even point in tickets and in sales dollars.
a. The new break even point in tickets is?
= $428,400 / ($85 - $34) = 8,400 tickets
b. The new break even point in sales dollars is?
8,400 x $85 = $714,000
3. Ignore questions 1 and 2. Supposed Funday Park reduces fixed costs from $428,400 per month to $319,600 per month. Compute the new break even point in tickets and in sales dollars.
a. The new break even point in tickets is?
= $319,600 / ($85 - $17) = 4,7400 tickets
b. The new break even point in sales dollars is?
4,700 x $85 = $399,500
4. Ignore information in questions 1 - 3. If Funday Park expects to sell 6,400 tickets, compute the margin of safety in tickets and in sales dollars.
break even point = $428,400 / ($85 - $17) = 6,300
a. Margin of safety in units = (6,400 - 6,300) / 6,400 = 1.56%
b. Margin of safety in dollars = ($544,000 - $535,500) / $544,000 = 1.56%
5. Ignore information in questions 1 - 4. If Funday Park expects to sell 6,400 tickets, compute the operating leverage. Estimate the operating income if sales increase by 20%.
EBIT₀ = [6,400 x ($85 -$17)] - $428,400 = $435,200 - $428,400 = $6,800
EBIT₁ = [7,680 x ($85 -$17)] - $428,400 = $522,240 - $428,400 = $93,840
% change in EBIT = ($93,840 - $6,800) / $6,800 = 12.8 x 100 = 1280%
a. Degree of operating leverage = 1280% / 20% = 64
b. Estimate the new operating income if total sales increase by 20%?
The estimated operating income will be $93,840
Jessie, an HR specialist, has been assigned the task of performing a job analysis for a new position created at the firm. What questions is LEAST relevant to the job analysis that Jessie will conduct?
Answer: D) What is the national hourly rate for this job?
Explanation:
Job analysis is done to help an organization ascertain what kind of person would be a right fit for the job. As such, it focuses on what the job entails as well as the requirements of the job and other details like its duration. This will help a company know the kind of person that will work best in the role.
The rate that the job pays is something that the company also analyzes but this is a very secondary aspect of job analysis and so it is the least relevant here.

Proceeds from the issuance of bonds and notes payable. Payments to acquire equity securities of other companies. Receipts of cash from sales.
Answer:
Receipts of cash from sales.
Explanation:
Operating activities in the cash flow statement refers to that statement in which the cash sales, cash payments are recorded. These transactions are recorded when the company use the direct method and for an indirect method the other things should be considered as changes in working capital, depreciation expenses, profit and loss on sales of fixed assets, etc
Therefore the last option is correct
The example of cash flows from operative activities in the query above is receipts of cash from sales. The correct option that matches with the statement above is E.
Cash flows from operating activities refers to as the cash that is either incoming or outgoing from the business organization from activities like sales, purchase, etc.
The cash flow of a business organisation refers to the net balance of monies received or sent/spent by such organization for the purpose of carrying the normal business activities.The receipts and expenditures made in cash will account to cash flows and any accrued income or expense will not form a part of cash flows of an organization.Receipts from sales in cash will amount to positive cash flow as it is assumed that the goods are sold by the firm at above the cost price of such goods.Hence, the correct option is E that the receipts of cash from sales which is a normal business activity is an example of cash flow from operating activities.

Kiley Electronics is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's IRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.
Answer:
13.31%
Explanation:
some information is missing:
Year Cash flows
0 −$1,100
1 $450
2 $470
3 $490
the easiest way to calculate the IRR is by using a financial calculator, IRR = 13.31%
but if we don't have one at hand, the IRR is the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
1,100 = 450/(1 + r) + 470/(1 + r)² + 490/(1 + r)³
to simplify the formula we must use trial and error:
since we already know the real IRR, I will start with a close number like 10%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.1) + 470/(1 + 0.1)² + 490/(1 + 0.1)³
1,100 = 409.09 + 388.43 + 368.14
1,100 ≠ 1,165.66
since the NPV is still positive, we must increase the discount rate. following the example we can use 12%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.12) + 470/(1 + 0.12)² + 490/(1 + 0.12)³
1,100 = 401.79 + 374.68 + 348.77
1,100 ≠ 1,125.24
we must increase the discount rate even more to 13%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.13) + 470/(1 + 0.13)² + 490/(1 + 0.13)³
1,100 = 398.23 + 368.08 + 339.59
1,100 ≠ 1,105.90
we keep increasing the discount rate to 14%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.14) + 470/(1 + 0.14)² + 490/(1 + 0.14)³
1,100 = 394.74 + 361.65 + 330.74
1,100 ≠ 1,087.13
since now the NPV is negative, the discount rate must be between 13-14%
we continue this way until we finally reach 13.31%
2016 2017 2018 Net Income $1,200 ($500) $2,300 Net Cash Flows $500 $300 $2,800 Dividends $200 $0 $200 Issuance of Stock $2,000 $0 $0 The above amounts represent totals from the first three years of operations. Calculate the balance of Retained Earnings at the end of 2018.
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
We will have to focus on the annual result and the dividends that were paid because these dividends decreases the retained earnings. There is no impact of can flow while insurance of stock falls withing result for the year.
In 2016, income was $1,200 minus dividends allocated $200
= $1,200 - $200
Retained earnings= $1,000
2017 result of ($500) without dividend distribution;
Retained earnings = ($500)
2018, result of $2,300 and distribution dividends of $200
= $2,300 - $200
Retained earnings= $2,100
Total retained earnings =$1,000 + (500) + $2,100
= $2,600
The Soma Inn is trying to determine its break-even point. The inn has 75 rooms that are rented at $60 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $9,700 per month
Utilities 2,700 per month
Depredation 1,300 per month
Maintenance 700 per month
Maid service 8 per room
Other costs 34 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in (1) number of rented rooms per month and (2) dollars.
b. If the Inn plans to renting an average of 50 rooms per day (assuming a 30-day month), what is (1) the monthly margin of safety dollars and (2) the margin of safety ratio?
Answer:
The Soma Inn
a. Determination of the inn's break-even point:
1. number of rented rooms per month:
= Fixed Costs/Contribution per room
= $14,400/$18
= 800 rooms
2. dollars:
= Fixed Costs/Contribution margin ratio per room
= $14,400/0.3
= $48,000
2. Renting average of 50 rooms per day,
a) Monthly margin of safety in dollars
Current Sales = 50 rooms x $60 x 30 days = $90,000
Break-even Sales = $48,000
Margin of safety = Current Sales minus Break-even Sales
= $42,000 ($90,000 - $48,000)
b) Margin of safety ratio:
= Margin of safety/Current Sales x 100
= $42,000/$90,000 x 100
= 46.67%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed costs:
Salaries $9,700 per month
Utilities 2,700 per month
Depreciation 1,300 per month
Maintenance 700 per month
Total $14,400 per month
Variable costs:
Maid service 8 per room
Other costs 34 per room
Total $42 per room ($3,150 = $41 x 75 rooms)
Rent $60 per room ($4,500 = $60 x 75 rooms)
Contribution per room = $18 ($60 - $42)
Contribution per night = $1,350 (75 x $18)
Contribution margin ratio per room = Contribution per room margin/Rent per room x 100
= $18/$60 x 100
= 0.3 or 30%
The Soma Inn's contribution margin per room is equal to the rent per room minus the variable cost per room. Similarly, the contribution margin ratio per room is the contribution margin per room divided by the rent per room, and then multiplied by 100.
The Soma Inn's margin of safety is the difference between the rent per month and the break-even sales. The Margin of safety ratio for the Inn is the ratio of current sales minus the breakeven sales, and then divided by current sales, multiplied by 100.
c) Once the purchases of merchandise have been computed, to compute the cost of goods sold becomes easier. The cost of goods sold for Ahmed Company is the difference between the cost of goods available for sale and the ending inventories of merchandise.

"A husband and wife wish to open an account that allows either party to trade or draw checks; and that becomes the property of the surviving spouse if one should die. The proper ownership form is:"
Answer:
Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship
Explanation:
The property ownership form that is being mentioned in the question is known as Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship . As described, this is when two individuals share equal ownership of the property and have the equal, undivided right to keep or dispose of the property. Rights of Survivorship means that if one of the individual joint tenants dies then their ownership of the property does not pass on to the next of kin but instead is passed to the other joint tenant that is the beneficiary.

A) Change in current assets and current liabilities from year to year
B) Long-term debt related events
C) Internal service fund activities
D) Interfund activities
Answer: Change in current assets and current liabilities from year to year
Explanation:
It should be noted that when preparing government-wide financial statements, the modified accrual basis governmental funds are adjusted for the long-term debt related events, the internal service fund activities and the interfund activities.
Therefore the correct option is A as th modified accrual basis government funds are not adjusted for the change in current assets and current liabilities from year to year.
Consider the production function
Y = (K)^1/2 (N)^1/2
where Y is output, K is capital, and N is the number of workers (abor)
When K = 46 and N = 82, output is ________ (Round your response to two decimal places.)
If both capital and labor double, given the production function, output will _________.
If output doubles when inputs double, the production function will be characterized by:_________.
A. constant returns to scale
B. decreasing returns to scale.
C. increasing returns to scale.
D. none of the above.
Answer:
Requirement 1: Production Output will be 61.42 Units.
Requirement 2: Production Output will be doubled.
Requirement 3: Constant Returns to Scale
Explanation:
Requirement 1:
The output at K=46 and N=82 is given as under:
Y = (46)^1/2 * (82)^1/2
Y = 61.42 Units
Requirement 2:
Now if we double "K" and "N" then:
Y' = (2K)^1/2 * (2N)^1/2
Y' = 2 [(K)^1/2 * (N)^1/2]
Y' = 2Y
This means that the output will be doubled.
Requirement 3:
Option A. Constant Returns to Scale
Constant returns to scale occurs when the increase in the input causes same proportional increase in the production output. Such same proportional increase in the production output is referred to as Constant Returns to Scale.
In the given scenario, as the production output doubles with the doubling of input which was seen in the requirement above. We can say that the production function is characterized by Constant Returns to Scale.
Petrus Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,700 per month plus $8 per frame. For the month of March, the company planned for activity of 610 frames, but the actual level of activity was 613 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $6,870. The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to:
Answer:
The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to $24 (Unfavorable)
Explanation:
The activity variance for supplies cost in March is calculated below
Activity variance = Planning Budget - Flexible Budget
= ($1,700 + ($8 * 610)) - ($1,700 + ($8 * 613))
= ($1,700 + $4,880) - ($1,700 + $4,904)
= $6,580 - $6,604
= $24U
The flexible budget is greater than the planning budget. Therefore, the variance is unfavorable (U)
Jay owns Gatsby Islands and wants to convey it to his good friends, Nick and Daisy. Nick lives next door to Jay while Daisy lives across the waters. He conveys an interest in Gatsby Islands "to Nick as tenants by the entirety." Two months later, he makes a corresponding conveyance to Daisy. Jay created the following:_______
a. tenancy in common
b. severalty community property
c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship
d. tenancy by entirety
Answer:
Correct Answer:
c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship
Explanation:
The property Jay owes on Gatsby Island belongs to him but he wishes to share th ownership with his 2 good friends. His conveyance of the message to both which reads "tenants by the entirety" shows that he and his friends has equal ownership and rights to the Gatsby Island property.
In the event that either him or one of the friends dies, the full title of the property automatically passes to the surviving person.
Ornaments, Inc., is an all-equity firm with a total market value of $597,000 and 26,200 shares of stock outstanding. Management believes the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) will be $84,900 if the economy is normal. If there is a recession, EBIT will be 20 percent lower, and if there is a boom, EBIT will be 30 percent higher. The tax rate is 34 percent. What is the EPS in a recession
Answer:
The EPS in a recession is $1.71.
Explanation:
Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks
Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks = ($84,900 - ($84,900 × 0.34)) × 80 %
= $44,827.20
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks = 26,200 shares
Earnings per share (EPS) = $44,827.20 ÷ 26,200 shares
= $1.71

A loan is being amortized by means of level monthly payments at an annual effective interest rate of 8%. The amount of principal repaid in the 12th payment is 1000 and the amount of principal repaid in the tth payment is 3700. Calculate t.
Answer:
Option D. 216
Explanation:
The value of "t" can be calculated using the compounding formula given as under:
Principal Amount * (1 + r)^(t-n)/n = Future Value
Here
Principal Amount is $1,000
r is 8%
n is the number of payment which is 12th here
Future Value is $3,700
By putting values, we have:
$1,000 * (1 + 8%)^(t-12)/12 = $3,700
(1.08)^ (t-12)/12 = 3.7
By taking natural log on both sides:
(t-12)/12 = 17
t = 216
Given the following information, determine the beta coefficient for Stock G that is consistent with equilibrium: expected return for Stock G = 9.5%; risk-free rate of return = 3.5%; required return for the market = 9%.
Answer: 1.09
Explanation:
The variables given are consistent with the use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to find out the value of the expected return for the stock. The formula is;
Expected Return = Risk free rate + beta ( Market return - risk-free rate)
9.5% = 3.5% + beta ( 9% - 3.5%)
6% = beta * 5.5%
beta = 6%/5.5%
beta = 1.09
Sales mix, three products. The Ronowski Company has three product lines of belts—A, B, and C— with contribution margins of $3, $2, and $1, respectively. The president foresees sales of 200,000 units in the coming period, consisting of 20,000 units of A, 100,000 units of B, and 80,000 units of C. The company’s fixed costs for the period are $255,000.
What is the company’s breakeven point in units, assuming that the given sales mix is maintained?
If the sales mix is maintained, what is the total contribution margin when 200,000 units are sold? What is the operating income?
What would operating income be if 20,000 units of A, 80,000 units of B, and 100,000 units of C were sold? What is the new breakeven point in units if these relationships persist in the next period?
Answer:
1. 13,236 units
2. $85,000
3. $65,000
4. 15,938 units
Explanation:
First Determine the ratio of the sales mix as follows :
Ratio = 20,000 : 100,000 : 80,000
Reduced to lowest term = 1 : 5 : 4
Then find the Company`s break-even point using the sales mix as follows ;
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin as per sales mix
= $255,000 ÷ ($3 × 1 + $2 × 5 + $1 × 4)
= $255,000 ÷ $17
= 13,235.29 or 13,236 units
Calculation of Operating Income assuming 200,000 units are sold
Contribution :
A : (1/10 × 200,000 units) × $3 = $60,000
B : (5/10 × 200,000 units) × $2 = $200,000
C : (4/10 × 200,000 units) × $1 = $80,000
Total Contribution $340,000
Less Fixed Cost ($255,000)
Operating Income $85,000
Calculation of Operating Income if 20,000 units of A, 80,000 units of B, and 100,000 units of C were sold.
Contribution :
A : 20,000 units × $3 = $60,000
B : 80,000 units × $2 = $160,000
C : 100,000 units × $1 = $100,000
Total Contribution $320,000
Less Fixed Cost ($255,000)
Operating Income $65,000
Determination of New Sales Mix :
Ratio = 20,000 : 80,000 : 100,000
Reduced to Lowest Term = 1 : 4 : 5
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin as per sales mix
= $255,000 ÷ ($3 × 1 + $2 × 4 + $1 × 5)
= $255,000 ÷ $16
= 15,937.5 or 15,938 units
The managerial purpose of setting objectives include: Select one: a. Converting the strategic vision into specific performance targets b. Establishing deadlines for achieving performance results c. Challenging the organization to perform at full potential and deliver the best results d. All of these
Answer: d. All of these
Explanation:
Objectives are very important in ensuring that a company achieves that which it wants to achieve. With an objective in mind, the company is able to set deadlines that it can work towards to enable it achieve performance results. Without objectives, there would be no aim in sight to work towards which means that performance cannot truly be measured.
Objectives also help turn a company's strategic vision into actual performable targets which will enable the company achieve its long term goals by breaking the activities into doable segments.
Finally with an objective in mind, employees will be spurred towards it which will enable them to try to perform at full potential and deliver the best results so that they may reach the objectives set.

advantages of discounted payback period
Answer:
The main advantage of the discounted payback period method is that it can give some clue about liquidity and uncertainly risk. Other things being equal, the shorter the payback period, the greater the liquidity of the project. Also, the longer the project, the greater the uncertainty risk of future cash flows.
Beyer Company is considering the purchase of an asset for $190,000. It is expected to produce the following net cash flows. The cash flows occur evenly within each year.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Total
Net cash flows $50,000 $31,000 $60,000 $140,000 $30,000 $311,000
Compute the payback period for this investment.
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
50,000 + $31,000 + $60,000 = 141,000
The balance required to equate 190,000 would be
balance = 190,000 - 140,000 = 50,000
Pay back period = 3 years + (50,000/140,000)× 12 months
= 3 years 4 months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months

A firm hires labor in a perfectly competitive labor market. Its current profit-maximizing hourly output is 100 units, which the firm sells at a price of $5 per unit. The Marginal Physical product (MPP) of the last unit of labor employed is 5 units per hour. The firm pays each worker an hourly wage of $15. a)What Marginal Revenue (MR) does the firm earn from sale of the output produced by the last worker employed? b)Does this firm sell its output in a perfectly competitive market?
Answer:
A.Marginal Revenue $3
B. No
Explanation:
A.Calculation for the Marginal Revenue (MR) that the firm earn from sale of the output produced by the last worker employed
Based on the information given we were told that the Marginal Physical product of the last unit of labor was 5 units per hour in which the firm pays each worker an hourly wage of $15. Now let calculate the Marginal Revenue using this formula
Marginal Revenue = Employees hourly wages/Marginal Physical product unit of labor
Where,
Employees hourly wages=$15
Marginal Physical product unit of labor =5 units per hour
Let plug in the formula
Marginal Revenue =$15/5
Marginal Revenue =$3
B. No reason been that the current profit-maximizing hourly output was 100 units in which we were told that the firm sells at a price of $5 per unit. While the Marginal Revenue gotten in (A) above was $3 which is lesser or lower than $5 per unit which simply means that the firm does NOT sell its output in a well perfectly competitive market .

At which restaurant are you more likely to receive excellent service (according to Online Reviews, where a rating of 5 or higher represents excellent service)
Sheffield Corp. determines that 53000 pounds of direct materials are needed for production in July. There are 3100 pounds of direct materials on hand at July 1 and the desired ending inventory is 2700 pounds. If the cost per unit of direct materials is $3, what is the budgeted total cost of direct materials purchases
Answer:
Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800
Explanation:
Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials.
Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - Opening inventory
Material purchase budget = 53,000 + 2,700 - 3,100= 52,600 pounds
Note the closing inventory represents the stock of materials needed to be kept, hence it will increase the purchase budget. So we added.
On the other hand hands, the opening inventory represented what already existed , hence we subtracted it as it will reduce what will be required.
Material purchase budget ($) = purchase budget in quantity × standard price per quantity
Material purchase budget = 52,600 × $3 = $ 157,800
Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800
You decide to invest in a portfolio consisting of 30 percent Stock A, 30 percent Stock B, and the remainder in Stock C. Based on the following information, what is the expected return of your portfolio? State of Economy Probability of State Return if State Occurs of Economy Stock A Stock B Stock C Recession .17 - 18.8 % - 3.9 % - 22.8 % Normal .45 10.2 % 8.5 % 17.1 % Boom .38 28.6 % 15.8 % 31.7 %
Answer:
Portfolio return = 0.127744 or 12.7744% rounded off to 12.77%
Explanation:
The portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks returns' that form up the portfolio. The formula for portfolio return is,
Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB + ... + wN * rN
Where,
w represents the weight of each stockr represents the return of each stockTo calculate the expected return of portfolio, we first need to calculate the individual stock returns.
The expected rate of return of individual stocks can be calculated as follows,
r = pA * rA + pB * rB + ... + pN * rN
Where,
pA, pB and so on represents the probability of an event or return to occur rA, rB and so on are the return in different events
For Stock A
rA = 0.17 * -0.188 + 0.45 * 0.102 + 0.38 * 0.286
rA = 0.12262 or 12.262%
For Stock B
rB = 0.17 * -0.039 + 0.45 * 0.085 + 0.38 * 0.158
rB = 0.09166 or 9.166%
For Stock C
rC = 0.17 * -0.228 + 0.45 * 0.171 + 0.38 * 0.317
rC = 0.15865 or 15.865%
Portfolio return = 0.3 * 0.12262 + 0.3 * 0.09166 + 0.4 * 0.15865
Portfolio return = 0.127744 or 12.7744% rounded off to 12.77%
