Members of the board are surprised that the industrial systems product line is losing money. They commission a study to determine whether the company should discontinue the line. Company accountants estimate that dropping industrial systems will decrease the fixed cost of goods sold by $82,000 and decrease fixed selling and administrative expenses by $15,000.

Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis to show whether Safety Step should drop the industrial systems product line.
b. Prepare contribution margin income statements to show Safety Step's total operating income under the two alternatives: (a) with the industrial systems line and (b) without the line. Compare the difference between the two alternatives' income numbers to your answer to Requirement 1.
c. What have you learned from the comparison in Requirement 2?

Answers

Answer:

A company's net sales are $787,030, its costs of goods sold are $439,160, and its net income is $106,280. Its gross margin ratio equals:

Answers

Answer:

Gross margin ratio = 46.57%

Explanation:

Gross margin is also known as gross profit margin ratio, and it is a measure of profitability. It compares a company's gross margin to its revenue and shows how much profit is made after the cost of goods sold is paid for.

the formula for calculating gross margin is as follows:

[tex]Gross\ Margin =\ \frac{(Total\ Revenue)-(cost\ of\ goods\ sold) }{Total\ Revenue} \times 100[/tex]

where:

Total revenue = net sales = 787,030

cost of goods sold = $439,160

[tex]\leq Gross\ Margin =\ \frac{787,030-439,160 }{747,030} \times 100\\\\Gross\ Margin =\ \frac{347,870 }{747,030} \times 100\\Gross\ Margin =\ 46.57\%[/tex]

Gabriel, Harris and Ida are members of Jeweled Watches, LLC. What are their options with respect to the management of their firm?

Answers

Answer:

They could be a Member-managed Limited Liability Company or a Manager-managed Limited Liability Company.

Explanation:

A Limited Liability Company is usually run by two or more partners. In managing this type of company, the members might choose to manage the company themselves. This is known as a member-managed Limited Liability Company. In such cases, if any member makes a decision in behalf of the business, with his signature appended to it, such a decision is considered legally binding on all other members of the company. Every member also has a say in the company's decision-making.

If they choose to be a manager-managed Limited Liability Company, they can appoint one or more non-members to manage the company for them. They do not interfere with how the manager chooses to run the company. They can still make important decisions but this is quite limited. However, they can choose to remove the manager/managers as they will.

Suppose that we have the following information concerning the government's finances and the macroeconomy for a given year: Government Debt: $12 trillion Inflation: 10% Nominal Deficit: $1.5 trillion What is the real deficit for the year

Answers

Answer: $300 billion

Explanation:

The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.

= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)

= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion

= $300 billion

(Purchase Orders)

Total                     $33,705     $17,976            $23,219      $74,900

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. Allocation Basis:

Department               Sales                      Purchase Orders

Books                       $ 180,000 (45%)              1,170  (45%)

2. Allocation of Advertising Department expenses of $42,800 on the basis of dollar sales:

Books = 45% of $42,800 = $19,260

Newspapers = 28% of $42,800 = $11,984

3. Allocation of Purchasing Department expenses of $32,100 on the basis of  Purchase orders:

Books = 45% of $32,100 = $14,445

Magazines = 20% of $32,100 = $6,420

Newspapers = 35% of $32,100 = $11,235

Troy Enterprises uses a continuous review inventory control system. The firm operates 50 weeks per year, with an annual demand of 50,000 units, an ordering cost of $35 per order, a holding cost of $1 per unit per year, a lead time of 3 weeks, and a standard deviation of demand during lead time equal to 216.51 units. what is safety stock for the firm if a 94% service level is desired?

Answers

Answer:

Safety Stock is 336.62 units

Explanation:

As per given data

Demand = D = 50,000

Ordering Cost = S = $35

Holding Cost = H = $1 per unit per year

Weekly Demand = Demand / 50 weeks = 50,000 / 50 = 1,000 units per week

Weekly Demand during Lead time of 3 weeks = 1000 x 3 = 3,000 units

Standard Deviation = 216.51 units

Desired Service level = 94%

The Z score at 94% service level is 1.55477  

Safety Stock = Zscore x standard deviation = 1.55477 x 216.51

Safety Stock = 336.62

The Safety Stock for the firm if a 94% service level is desired is 336.62 units

Calculation of the safety stock:

Since

Demand = D = 50,000

Ordering Cost = S = $35

Holding Cost = H = $1 per unit per year

Now

Weekly Demand = Demand / 50 weeks

= 50,000 / 50

= 1,000 units per week

Now

Weekly Demand during Lead time of 3 weeks

= 1000 x 3

= 3,000 units

Standard Deviation = 216.51 units

Desired Service level = 94%

Also, The Z score at 94% service level is 1.55477  

So,

Safety Stock = Zscore x standard deviation

= 1.55477 x 216.51

= 336.62

hence, The Safety Stock for the firm if a 94% service level is desired is 336.62 units

Suppose the demand curve for a monopolistic competitor becomes steeper, but its average total costs do not change. What is likely to be an effect?

Answers

Answer:

The demand curve is less elastic.

Explanation:

The steeper demand curve shows that the demand had become less elastic because the steeper demand curve represents the less elastic demand while the flatter demand curve shows the more elastic demand. therefore, if the demand curve for a monopolistic competitor becomes steeper that means people are less responsive towards the quantity. So if the price increases or decreases, then people will not change their quantity more than the change in price.

What best explains why a firm's ratio of long-term debt/total capital is lower than the industry average, while the ratio of income before interest and taxes/debt interest charges is higher than the industry average

Answers

Answer:

The lower ratio of long-term debt to total capital is explained by the fact that the company is not highly geared or leveraged in comparison to the industry average firm.

This also explains why the ratio of income before interest and taxes to the debt interest charges is higher than the industry average because the firm does not pay so much in interest expense as the average firm in its industry.

Explanation:

Company X's leverage determines its ratio of long-term debts to total capital.  If Company X has large long-term debts it will have a higher long-term debts to total capital ratio and vice versa.  In that situation, Company X will also pay more in interest, causing its ratio of income before interest and taxes to the interest charges to be higher than the industry average, and vice versa.

To mitigate the risk of the various units of American Snacks partnering with Très Bien competitors, the alliance should be managed at Corporate level. All the different units are subservient at Corporate level therefore managing the alliance from there would mean that the different units cannot partner with rivals because Corporate level decisions are strategic and affect the entire company.

Partnering with rivals would therefore be unfeasible across the entire company.

When marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the firm a. should increase the level of production to maximize its profit. b. may be minimizing its losses rather than maximizing its profit. c. must be generating positive economic profits. d. must be generating positive accounting profits.

Answers

When marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost, then the firm should increase the level of production to maximize its profit.

Marginal revenue simply means the increase in revenue that a company makes as a result of selling an additional output of good. Marginal cost is the cost that a company incurs for production of one extra unit of good.

It should be noted that when the marginal cost if a firm is more than the marginal revenue, it means that the firm is producing too much.

When the marginal revenue of the firm equals the marginal cost, then the firm should maximize its profit.

The correct option is A.
