Suppose that the federal government places a binding price floor on chocolate. To help support the price floor, the government purchases all of the leftover chocolate that consumers do not buy. If the price floor remains in place for a number of years, what do you expect to happen to each of the following?a) Quantity of chocolate demanded by consumers.b) Quantity of chocolate supplied by producers.c) Quantity of chocolate purchased by the government.
Answer And Explanation:
a) Quantity of chocolate demanded by consumers will decrease
This is because there is a minimum price which makes product more expensive. The higher the price, the less the quantity demanded
b) Quantity of chocolate supplied by producers will increase
This is because price has increased with the government's price floor. The higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied.
c) Quantity of chocolate purchased by the government will increase
This is because there is surplus supply and therefore government would need to buy more to support the price floor and buy leftover chocolates in the market

a. $91,561
b. $47,773
c. $43,673
d. $84,788
Answer:
The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 10% × 81000 × 1/2 = 4050
Semi-annual yield = 8%/2= 4 % per six months
Total period to maturity (in months)
= (2 × 8) = 16 periods (Note the bond term is 8 yeras)
PV of interest = 4050 × (1-1.04^(-16))/0.04 = 47,191.79
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
Assuming a redemption value equals to the nominal value =
PV of RV = 81,000 × 1.04^-16 = 43,246.56
Step 3 :Total Present Value
Total prent value = 43,246.56 + 47,191.79721 = 90,438.36
The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36

Using a Financial Calculator, the Price of the Bond, PV is $912.05.
If 40 Ps are needed, and on-hand inventory consists of 15 Ps and 10 each of all other components and subassemblies, how many Cs are needed
Answer:
350 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of Cs is needed is shown below;
The requirement of Ps = 40
Ps still = 15
So, the Net of Ps needed is
=40 - 15
= 25
Bs needed for 25 units of P is
= 3 × 25
= 75
And, B units still = 10
So, the Net of B units needed is
= 75 - 10
= 65
So, Cs needed for 65 units of B is
= 4 × 65
= 260
Cs needed directly for every unit of P is
= 1 × 4
= 4
hence , total Cs needed for 25 units of P is
= 4 × 25
= 100
Now
Total Cs required is
= 260 + 100
= 360
And, C units still = 10
So, the Net Cs needed is
= 360 - 10
= 350 units

The Auto Division of Big Department Store had a net operating income of $560,000, a net asset base of $4,000,000, and a required rate of return of 12%. Sales for the period totaled $3,000,000. The residual income for the period is
Answer:
Residua income = $80,000
Explanation:
Residual income is the excess of the controllable profit over the opportunity cost of capital invested.
It is used to evaluate the financial performance of a division or department.
The a positive residual value indicate a good performance, hence the higher the residual value the better
It is computed as follows:
Residual income = Controllable profit - (cost of capital× operating assets)
Controllable profit = 560,000,
Interest on capital = × 12% × 4,000,000 = 480,000
Residual income = 560,000 - 480,000= 80,000
Residua income = $80,000

Sales $ 143,000 1001
Variable expenses 57,200 408
Contribution margin 85,800 603
Fixed expenses 19,000
Net operating income $ 66,800
Required:
1. What is the company's degree of operating leverage?
2. Using the degree of operating leverage, estimate the impact on net operating Income of a 16% Increase in sales.
3. Construct a new contribution format income statement for the company assuming a 16% Increase in sales.
Answer:
1. 1.28
2. increase in operating Income of 20,48 %
3.New Contribution Format Income Statement
Sales ($ 143,000 × 1.16) $165,880
Variable expenses ($57,200 × 1.16) ($66,352)
Contribution margin $99,528
Fixed expenses ($19,000 )
Net operating income $80,528
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage shows the times Earnings Before Interest and Tax will change as a result of a change in sales contribution.
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings before Interest and Tax
= $85,800 ÷ $ 66,800
= 1.28
An increase in sales of 16% will lead to an increase in operating Income of 20,48 % (16% × 1.28).
Answer:
Please see answers below.
Explanation:
1. The company's degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ Net operating income
Contribution = $85,800
Net operating income = $66,800
= $85,800 / $66,800
= 1.28
2. Impact on ney operating income of a 16% increase in sales
Revised contribution = $85,800 + 16%
= $85,800 + $13,728
= $99,528
Revised net operating income = $99,528 - $19,000(Fixed cost)
= $80,528
Degree of operating leverage = $99,528 / $80,528
= 1.24
3. Contribution format income statement ;
Sales $143,000 + 16% = $165,880
Less variable cost $57,200 + 16% = $66,352
Contribution margin = $99,528
Less fixed cost = $19,000
Net operating income = $80,528
The internal rate of return method is used to analyze a $831,500 capital investment proposal with annual net cash flows of $250,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. a. Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1, which can be used in determining the internal rate of return. Carry your answer out to three decimal places.
Answer:
annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326
Explanation:
the IRR represents the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
NPV = initial outlay + PV of future cash flows
NPV = 0
initial outlay = -$831,500
PV of future cash flows = $831,500 = cash flow x annuity factor
annuity factor = $831,500 / $250,000 = 3.326
using an annuity table and looking for the annuity factors for 6 periods, we find that the annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326.
So our IRR = 20%

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 2200 units, the actual direct labor cost was $65600 for 4100 direct labor hours worked, the total direct labor variance is
Answer:
400 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of total direct labor variance is presented below:-
Total direct labor variance = (Standard rate - Standard hours) × (Actual rate - Actual hours)
= ($15 × (2 × 2,200)) - $65,600
= ($15 × 4,400) - $65,600
= $66,000 - $65,600
= 400 favorable
Therefore for determining the total direct labor variance we simply applied the above formula.

Seacrest Company has 15,000 shares of cumulative preferred 2% stock, $50 par and 50,000 shares of $5 par common stock. The following amounts were distributed as dividends:
Year 1 $30,000
Year 2 12,000
Year 3 45,000
Required:
Determine the dividends per share for preferred and common stock for each year.
Answer:
Cumulative Preferred Stock must always pay out Dividends and when they cannot, the amount unpaid will be accrued for payment to another year when it can be paid.
When Dividends are declared, Preference Shareholders are paid first and then common shareholders follow.
Year 1
Preference Shares = Number of shares * Par value * %
= 15,000 * 50 * 2%
= $15,000
Common Shareholders will get the rest;
= 30,000 - 15,000
= $15,000
Year 2.
Preference Shareholders are still due $15,000 however only $12,000 is available. They will take all of it and be owed $3,000.
Preference Shares, Year 2 = $12,000
Common Shareholders get nothing.
Year 3.
Preference Shareholders are owed $15,000 for the year. They are also owed $3,000 from the previous year.
Preference Shares = 15,000 + 3,000
= $18,000
Common Shareholders will get the remainder;
= 45,000 - 18,000
= $27,000
Backus Inc. makes and sells many consumer products. The firm’s average contribution margin ratio is 35%. Management is considering adding a new product that will require an additional $15,000 per month of fixed expenses and will have variable expenses of $7.80 per unit.
Required:
A. Calculate the selling price that will be required for the new product if it is to have a contribution margin ratio equal to 35%.
B. Calculate the number of units of the new product that would have to be sold if the new product is to increase the firm's monthly operating income by $6,000.
Answer:
a) $12 per unit
b) $2,693 units
Explanation:
contribution margin ratio formula = contribution margin / total revenue
contribution margin = total revenue - variable costs
0.35 = (revenue - 7.80) / revenue
0.35revenue = revenue - 7.80
7.80 = 0.65revenue
revenue = 7.80/.65
revenue = 12
number of units required to increase revenue by $6,000:
= (fixed costs + desired profits) / contribution margin
= ($15,000 + $6,000) / $7.80 = $21,000 / $7.80 = 2,692.31 ≈ we must round up to $2,693 units
