Answer:
B) A new product typically has its highest sales immediately after release as customers are attracted by the novelty of the product.
Explanation:
When a manager is implementing and executing a project, there are certain factors to be considered for revenue and costs associated with the project.
For instance, that a new product typically has its highest sales immediately after release as customers are attracted by the novelty of the product is not a factor that a manager should bear in mind when estimating a project's revenues and costs. This is simply because it is not guaranteed that all new products introduced to the market would be accepted or attractive to customers due to economical factors such scale of preference and opportunity costs.
Ideally, the factors to be considered by a manager when estimating a project's revenues and costs are;
1. Sales of a product will typically accelerate, stabilize, and then decline as the product becomes outdated or faces increased competition.
2. The prices of technology products tend to fall over time as newer, superior technologies emerge and production costs decline.
3. Prices and costs tend to rise with the general level of inflation in the economy.
Bramble Corp. purchased equipment for $48800. Sales tax on the purchase was $2928. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $732, repairs of $427 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $813. What is the cost of the equipment
Answer:
Cost of equipment = $52,887
Explanation:
According to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 16, property plants and equipment, the cost of land includes all of the cost necessary to bring and make it ready for the intended use.
These costs include purchase cost, fees and commission associated with the purchase transaction.
Here in this question the installation cost, sales taxes and repairs slab all fall within the definition of IAS 16
Hence cost of the equipment
48,800 + 2,928 + 732 + 427 = $52,887
Cost of equipment = $52,887
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 15 % 32 % Bond fund (B) 9 % 23 % The correlation between the fund returns is 0.15. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL?
Answer:
0.296875
Explanation:
Given the following :
Probability distribution of risky funds :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)
Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%
Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%
Correlation between funds return = 0.15
Sure rate = 5.5%
To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment
For the stock fund :
Expected return = 15%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 32%
Sharpe ratio of stock fund :
(15% - 5.5%) / 32%
= 9.5% / 32%
= 0.296875
For Bond fund :
Expected return = 9%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 23%
Sharpe ratio of bond fund :
(9% - 5.5%) / 23%
= 3.5% / 23%
= 0.1521739
Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875
1. The Lounge Company manufactures slippers and sells them at $10 a pair. Variable manufacturing cost is $4.75 a pair, and allocated fixed manufacturing cost is $0.75 a pair. It has enough idle capacity available to accept a one-time-only special order of 30,000 pairs of slippers at $5.50 a pair. Lounge will not incur any marketing costs as a result of the special order. What would the effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales: (a) $0, (b) $22,500 increase, (c) $142,500 increase, or (d) $165,000 increase? Show your calculations. 2. The St. Paul Company manufactures Part No. 498 for use in its production line. The manufacturing cost per unit for 25,000 units of Part No. 498 is as follows:
Answer:
1. The Lounge Company
The effect on operating income be if the special order could be accepted without affecting normal sales:
(b) $22,500 increase
2. Manchester
Explanation:
1. The Lounge Company:
Selling price = $10 per pair
Variable manufacturing cost = $4.75 per pair
Allocated fixed manufacturing cost = $0.75 per pair
Total manufacturing costs = $5.50
Special order of 30,000 pairs
Price of special order = $5.50 per pair
Sales value of special special order = $165,000 (30,000 x $5.50)
Manufacturing cost for special order:
Based on full cost = $165,000 (30,000 x $5.50)
Based on variable cost = $142,500 (30,000 x $4.75)
Contribution = $22,500 ($165,000 - $142,500)
The special order will not bring about any increase in operating income if the full cost is used to determine the net income. If, however, the variable cost is used, considering that The Lounge Company has idle capacity, then there is a contribution of $22,500 to the operating income.

A monopoly's cost function is
C = 1.5q^2 + 40 Q
and its the demand for its product is
p = 320-0.5Q
where Q is output, p is price, and C is the total cost of production. Determine the profit-maximizing price and output for a monopoly. The profit maximizing output level is units. (Enter a numeric response using an integer)
Answer:
70 units
Explanation:
The computation of profit maximizing output level is shown below:-
Monopolist perform Marginal Revenue which equivalent to the Marginal Cost as
MR = Marginal Revenue and MC = Marginal Cost
[tex]MR = \frac{\partial TR}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial PQ}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial (320-0.5Q)Q}{\partial Q}[/tex]
[tex]MR = \frac{\partial (320Q -0.5Q^2)}{\partial Q}[/tex]
MR = 320 - Q
Now we will find the MC which is
[tex]MC = \frac{\partial TC}{\partial Q} =\frac{\partial (1.5Q^2 + 40Q)}{\partial Q} = 3Q + 40[/tex]
now we will put the value of which is into MR = MC
320 - Q = 3Q + 40
280 = 4Q
70 = Q
So, the profit maximizing output level is 70 units.

Expenses (including $10,000 interest and $20,000 income taxes) 80,000
Net income $ 140,000
Additional information:________.
1. Common stock outstanding January 1, 2020, was 16,000 shares, and 24,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2020.
2. The market price of Myers stock was $9.59 in 2020.
3. Cash dividends of $19,600 were paid, $3,000 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2020. (Round Earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.65, and all other answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 6.8 or 6.8%.)
(a) Earnings per share $
(b) Price-earnings ratio times
(c) Payout ratio %
(d) Times interest earned times
Answer:
a. $6.85
b. 1.4 times
c. 11.9%
d. 17 times
Explanation:
a) Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding in the end)/2
= (16,000 +24,000) /2
= 20,000 shares
Earnings per share = (Net income – Preferred stock dividend)/Weighted Average number of common shares outstanding
= (140,000 - 3,000) / 20,000
= 137,000/20,000
= $6.85
b) Price earnings ratio = Market price of 1 common share/Earnings per share
= 9.59 / 6.85
= 1.4 times
c) Payout ratio = Cash dividends on common stock/Net income
= 16,600 / 140,000
= 0.11857
= 11.9%
d) Times interest earned = (Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense
= (140,000 + 10,000 + 20,000)/10,000
= 170,000 / 10,000
= 17 times
Mr. Fred Mitchell is requesting the birth record for Amy, his birth daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell gave Amy up for adoption four years ago. Should you release the records to him? Why or why not?
Answer: No you should not
Explanation:
Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell gave Amy up for adoption four years ago and in effect legally voided their guardianship of her. As far as the law is concerned, they are no longer Amy's parents. As such, Mr Fred Mitchell requesting for information on the girl is akin to a stranger doing the same and so cannot be honored, at least not without the consent of the new parents.
On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues a $8,800,000, 7%, 10-year bond that pays semiannual interest of $308,000 ($8,800,000 × 7% × ½), receiving cash of $7,655,303. Required:Journalize the first interest payment and the amortization of the related bond discount.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Interest expense $403,391
To Cash $308,000
To Discount on note payable $95,391
{($8,800,000 - $7,655,303) ÷ 12}
Here we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and credited the cash as it decreased the assets and credited the discount on note payable
Suppose the firms in a perfectly competitive industry merge to form a monopoly. Which of the following would NOT occur?
a. A rise in total consumer plus producer surplus
b. A deadweight loss
c. A rise in producer surplus
d. A fall in consumer surplus
Answer: a. A rise in total consumer plus producer surplus
Explanation:
When a Monopoly is formed, the Producer surplus will increase but the Consumer surplus will decrease. This is because a Monopoly will charge a higher price than a Competitive firm to get more profit as well reduce output as well.
This will result in the transfer of some Consumer surplus to the Producer as well as a Dead-weight loss being formed thereby reducing the Consumer surplus. The total surplus will therefore fall as a result of this merger.
Green Thumb Garden Tools Inc. produces and sells home and garden tools and equipment. A lawnmower has a total cost of $230 per unit, of which $160 is product cost and $70 is selling and administrative expenses. In addition, the total cost of $230 is made up of $120 variable cost and $110 fixed cost. The desired profit is $58 per unit. Determine the markup percentage on product cost.
Answer:
80%
Explanation:
The computation of markup percentage on product cost is shown below:-
Markup percentage on product cost = ((Selling and administrative expenses + Desired profit) ÷ Product cost) × 100
= (($70 + $58) ÷ $160) × 100
= 0.8
or
= 80%
Therefore for computing the markup percentage on product cost we simply applied the above formula.
The Busby Corporation had a share price at the start of the year of $26.20, paid a dividend of $0.56 at the end of the year, and had a share price of $29.00 at the end of the year. Which of the following is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this period?
A) 5%
B) 7%
C) 9%
D) 13%
Answer:
D) 13%
Explanation:
Calculation for the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments
First step is to find the balance amount of the share price using this formula
Share price =(End of the year Share price + End of the year dividend)-Start of the year Share price
Let plug in the formula
Share price =($29.00+$0.56)-$26.20
Share price =$29.56-$26.20
Share price =$3.36
Second step is to find the rate of return of investments
Using this formula
Rate of return of investments= Share price/Start of the year Share price
Rate of return of investments
Let plug in the formula
Rate of return of investments=$3.36/$26.20
Rate of return of investments=0.13*100
Rate of return of investments=13%
Therefore the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this perio will be 13%
Identify factors that could prevent an older, established company from effecting an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture.
Answer:
A more established company may find it difficult to implement an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture due to the following reasons:
A) Existence of a Multi-Product Business Model
A business entity that is well established with a lot of years under its belt will find it a tough challenge to shift from a product-oriented business model to a customer-oriented business model.
To be product-focused simply means that that a company has woven its organisational structure around products. For examples, a company that is into the gaming business may have teams for their Sports Betting Section, another for their online gaming section, game hardware section, gaming apps section etc.
First, for these various teams, their performance metric will largely depend on how functionally efficient their products are.
Second, techy or geeky staff are seldom efficient when it comes to emotional intelligence - a key requirement for being customer efficient.
One way to handle this is to ensure that there is a central Customer Relationship Management team that oversees the customers for each product.
B) Organisational Inflexibility
As direct to the point as it sounds, getting market intelligence for with the intention to use them for decision making is challenging. What is tougher is the ability to implement the insights from such intelligence to effect a turn around in the way customers perceive and respond to a company's offerings.
The ability to quickly take gather market intel, agree on a strategic direction based on same and execute can be referred to organisational agility.
The more bureaucratic and hierarchical an organisation is (this, by the way, characterises older and more established business systems) the less agile it is likely to be.

Read Eye on Fiscal Stimulus. How big was the fiscal stimulus package of 2008-2009, how many jobs was it expected to create, and how large was the multiplier implied by that expectation? Did the stimulus work?
Answer:
1. $787 billion
2. 650,000; 1.6
3. did not meet; the multiplier was much smaller than 1.6
Explanation:
The fiscal stimulus package of 2008-2009 was $787 billion. This is because, the United States government wanted to increase spending in order to have sufficient economic growth. Thus, the fiscal stimulus was expected to create 650,000 JOBS, in which the multiplier implied by that expectation is 1.6.
However, the stimulus did fiscal stimulus did not work, as it DID NOT MEET the expectations of the Obama administration, simply because "the multiplier was much smaller than 1.6"
Morganton Company makes one product:The budgeted selling price per unit is $70. Budgeted unit sales for June, July, August, and September are 8,500, 16,000, 18,000, and 19,000 units what is the estimated cost of raw materials purchases for July?
Answer:
Missing information:
"The ending raw materials inventory equals 10% of the following month’s raw materials production needs. Each unit of finished goods requires 4 pounds of raw materials. The raw materials cost $2.50 per pound."
raw materials needs for July:
Units produced 16,000 x 4 = 64,000 pounds
ending inventory (18,000 x 4) x 10% = 7,200 pounds
- beginning inventory (16,000 x 4) x 10% = 6,400 pounds
total raw materials purchases 64,800 pounds
cost of raw materials for July = 64,800 x $2.50 = $162,000
Which of the following would increase the likelihood that a company would increase its debt ratio, other things held constant? a. The company's stock price hits a new low. b. An increase in costs incurred when filing for bankruptcy. c. An increase in the personal tax rate. d. The Federal Reserve tightens interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. e. An increase in the corporate tax rate.
Answer:
Option e: An increase in the corporate tax rate
Explanation:
Corporate income tax rate is used to know how much people are willing to invest their new capital and also where they will place that new capital.
An increase in it is likely to encourage a company to use more debt in its capital structure.
The lower the corporate tax rate, the more it drives or leads to growth in capital stock, wages, jobs and others while the higer(increase) in corporate income tax rate, the more it affects economic decisions.
An Increase in a company's debt ratio will therefore lead to an increase in the marginal cost of both debt and equity financing. Also this action may lower the company's WACC

Debit to unrealized loss for for $12,000
Calculated as :
Unrealized loss=Market value - IBM stock
Unrealized loss=$8,000-$20,000
Unrealized loss=-$12,000
Assume the government has a balanced budget and that the economy is experiencing a period of growth higher than predicted. The tax revenue collected by the government is likely to ________, which would lead to a ________.
The tax revenue that is collected by the government is likely to increase which would then lead to a budget surplus.
A budget reveals the expenditure and the revenue of the government for a particular fiscal year.
Since there is a balanced budget such that the revenue and the expenses for the given year is thesame, then due to the higher growth, there'll be an increase in the tax revenue.
The increase in tax revenue will then lead to a situation whereby the revenue is more than the expenditure, therefore this will lead to a budget surplus.

Kodiak's absorption costing concept incorporates all production costs into the cost of products. This means that the cost of production includes all variable and fixed costs associated with production. Costs that are not related to production are treated as period costs. Whereas, with variable costing technique, only the variables costs of production are included in the costs of production. All fixed costs, including factory overheads are treated as period costs.
