Answer:
financial disadvantage = $435,000 - $525,000 = ($90,000)
Explanation:
outside vendor offer: cost per unit $35 x 15,000 = $525,000
production costs:
direct materials $14 x 15,000 = $210,000 direct labor $10 x 15,000 = $150,000 variable manufacturing overhead $3 x 15,000 = $45,000 fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable $6 x 15,000 = $90,000 ($60,000 are non-avoidable) fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated $9 x 15,000 = $135,000 (all are non-avoidable) total cost $42 x 15,000 = $630,000avoidable production costs = $435,000
financial disadvantage = avoidable costs - cost to purchase carburetors from outside vendor = $435,000 - $525,000 = ($90,000)

Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 58000 units of RX5 for 18.50 per unit. determine the total incremental cost making 58000 units of Rx5. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 58000 units of RX5. Should the company make or buy RX%
Answer:
Decision = Make
Explanation:
The incremental cost to buy and the incremental cost to make can be calculated as follows
DATA
Direct material = $4 (100% variable)
Direct labor = $8 (100% variable)
Overhead = $9 ( 70% fixed)
Total cost per unit = $21
Offered price = $18.5 per unit
Total units = 58,000
Solution
Incremental cost of making
Direct material ( 58,000 x $4) = $232,000
Direct labor (58,000 x $8) = $464,000
Overhead ( 58,000 x $9 x 30%) = $156,600
Total cost = $825,600
Incremental cost of buying
Total cost = No. of units x offered price
Total cost = 58,000 x $18.5
Total cost = $1,073,000
Decision: The company should make the product as the total cost to buy is $247,400 higher than the cost to make.

Find the net present value of a project that has cash flows of −$12,000 in Year 1, +$5,000 in Years 2 and 3, −$2,000 in Year 4, and +$6,000 in Years 5 and 6. Use an interest rate of 12%. Find the interest rate that gives a net present value of zero.
Answer:
NPV = $2,000
IRR = 19.19%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only firms with a positive NPV should accept the project because a negative NPV indicates that the project would be unprofitable for the firm
the interest rate that gives a net present value of zero is the IRR
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow for year 1 = −$12,000
Cash flow for year 2 = $5,000
Cash flow for year 3 = $5,000
Cash flow for year 4 = −$2,000
Cash flow for year 5 = $6,000
Cash flow for year 6 = $6,000
I = 12%
NPV = $2,000
IRR = 19.19%
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Instead of a dividend of $1.60 per share, the company has announced a share repurchase of $16,000 worth of stock. How many shares will be outstanding after the repurchase?
Answer:
9,690 stocks
Explanation:
some information is missing:
Market Value Balance Sheet
Cash $45,300 Equity $515,300
Fixed assets $470,000
Total $515,300 Total $515,300
total number of shares outstanding = 10,000
stock's market price = $515,300 / 10,000 = $51.53

Answer:
Equity will increased by 50%
Explanation:
Given:
Number of stock = 300
Per share value = $80
Stock value decline = 25%
Find:
Customer's equity will ?
Computation:

0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(37650 - 9275)*15% = 4256.1
(57500 - 37650)*25% = 4962.5
total = 927.5 + 4256.1 + 4962.5
= 10146.1
2b
single person
0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(35000-9275)*10% = 3858.75
total = 927.5 + 3858.75
= 4786.25
2c
for married couple
0 to 18550 at 10% = 1855
(70700-1855)*15% = 7822.5
total = 1855 + 7822.5

Three months ago, you purchased a stock for $54.14. The stock is currently priced at $57.36. What is the EAR on your investment?
Answer:
The EAR on the investment is 23.79%
Explanation:
Here, we are concerned with calculating the EAR on the stock investment.
Firstly, we start with calculating the return on shares
Mathematically, that is; P1 - P0
From the question P1 = $57.36 while P0 = $54.14
So Return on shares = $57.36-$54.14 = $3.22
We proceed with calculating the Return on shares in percentage
Mathematically;
Return on shares in % = Return on shares/P0 * 100
= 3.22/54.14 * 100 = 5.95%
Lastly we calculate the effective annual interest;
The effective annual interest = 5.95%/3 * 12 = 23.79%
The EAR on the investment is 23.79%
Calculation of EAR:Since Three months ago, you purchased a stock for $54.14. The stock is currently priced at $57.36.
So, the difference of the price is
= $57.36-$54.14
= $3.22
Now return on shares should be
= 3.22/54.14 * 100
= 5.95%
Now EAR is
= 5.95%/3 * 12
= 23.79%

Answer:
1 ABC Jan 100 Call
Explanation:
Although the OCC does not usually adjust the strike price of listed options for regular quarterly cash dividends. This is because they are known quantity that are segmented by the market into options premium.
For special cash dividends, they are not a frequent event hence market does not recognize them. This special cash dividend is $10 per share × 100 shares = $1,000 value per contract. It therefore means that the $1,000 value per contract will be adjusted.
The new strike price will be
