a. Unit contribution margin = $25
b. Break-even units
= 17,200 units
c. Break-even units to earn a target profit
= 26,560 units
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales price per unit $ 68
Variable cost per unit 43
Contribution per unit $25
Total fixed manufacturing and operating costs (per month) 430,000
Target operating income = $234,000 per month
a. Unit contribution margin = $25
b. Break-even units = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $430,000/$25
= 17,200 units
c. Break-even units to earn an operating income = (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Contribution margin per unit
= ($430,000 + $234,000)/$25
= $664,000/$25
= 26,560 units
You work for a mature company with a long history in the industry and have been given stock options. Which of the following are you most likely wanting to see happen with top line (revenue) and bottom line (net profit) growth rates?
A. Top line and bottom line holding steady without much variation.
B. Top line growing faster than bottom line.
C. Bottom line growing faster than top line.
D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Answer: D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the most likely thing will be for the top and bottom line growing at the same rate. This implies that both the revenue and the net profit grow at same rate.
It's vital for them to grow at a steady rate in order to ensure stability. The top line growing faster than bottom line or the bottom line growing faster than top line isn't good for the stock options.

Seidman Company manufactures and sells 20,000 units of product X per month. Each unit of product X sells for $17 and has a contribution margin of $8. If product X is discontinued, $45,000 in fixed monthly overhead costs would be eliminated and there would be no effect on the sales volume of Seidman Company's other products. If product X is discontinued, Seidman Company's monthly income before taxes should:
Answer:
Effect on income= $115,000 decrease
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs= $45,000
Number of units= 20,000
Unitary contribution margin= $8
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= decrease in fixed costs - decrease in contribution margin
Effect on income= 45,000 - 20,000*8
Effect on income= $115,000 decrease
The company has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6%, and sells for 97% of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5%, and sells for 108% of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $3.25 and the dividend growth rate is 5%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21%. What is the company’s WACC?

Your company purchased a vacant lot 3 years ago for $1.2 million and at that time spent $100,000 to convert it into a parking lot, which now generates $120,000/year in revenue. You are considering building a distribution center on the lot with a construction cost of $5 million and an annual OCF of $750,000. Which of these cash flows should be included in a capital budgeting analysis for the distribution center?
I. The $1.2 Million purchase price for the lot
II. The $100,000 conversion cost
III. The $120,000/ year parking revenue
IV. The $5 million construction cost for the distribution center
V. The $750,000/year OCF from the distribution center
a. I and II only
b. I, III, IV only
c. IV, and V only
d. III, IV, and V only
e. ALL of them
Answer:
The cash flows that should be included in a capital budgeting analysis for the distribution center are:
d. III, IV, and V only
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Parking Lot Distribution Center
Initial investment costs $1.2 million $5 million
Conversion costs 100,000 0
Annual revenue $120,000 $750,000
b) Not all the cash flows should be included in a capital budgeting analysis for the distribution center. The initial investment and conversion costs are sunk costs. The annual revenue from the parking lot becomes an opportunity cost when the lot is converted to a distribution center.

On December 31, 2020, the Bennett Company had 100,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, 2021, the company sold 18,000 additional shares for cash. Bennett's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $650,000. During 2021, Bennett declared and paid $71,000 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share
Answer:
$5.31
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding
where,
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :
Net Income $650,000
Less Preference Stock dividend ($71,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $579,000
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :
Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding 100,000
Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2) 9,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding 109,000
therefore,
Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷ 109,000
= $5.31
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.

Arrears preference dividends = $25,000
Explanation:
Preference shareholders are entitled to a fixed amount of dividends.
Cumulative preference shares: Cumulative simply implies that should the company misses the payment of dividend in a particular year such unpaid dividend would be carried carried forward and paid in arrears in the following year.
$
Preferred dividend in year = 2%× 100× 20,000= 40,000
Preferred dividend in year 2 = 2%× 100× 20,000= 40,000
Total dividend accrued to preference shares 80,000
Less total dividend paid in year 1 and 2 55,000
Arrears preference dividends 25,000
Arrears preference dividends = $25,000
Yolo Company, which has excess capacity (i.e. it doesn't have to give up producing and selling products in the normal market if it accepts a special order), received a special order for 4,500 units at a price of $16 per unit. Currently, production and sales are anticipated to be 11,000 units without considering the special order. Budget information for the current year follows. Sales $ 231,000 Less: Cost of Goods Sold 165,000 Gross Margin $ 66,000 Cost of goods sold includes $44,000 of fixed manufacturing cost. If the special order is accepted, the company's income will:
Answer:
$22,500 increase
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Variable cost per unit is
= ($165,000 - $44,000) ÷ 11,000 units
= $11
And, the Sales price per unit is $16
So, the Profit per unit is
= $16 - $11
= $5 per unit
Now the company income would be
= 4,500 units × $5 per unit
= $22,500 increase
Hence, the company income would be increased by $22,500
Why don't most tax expenditures help much if your federal tax bill is zero? You don't qualify for tax breaks if your federal tax bill is zero. Taxes are an automatic stabilizer. Most tax expenditures are specifically for high-income people. Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.
Answer: Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.
Explanation:
Tax breaks can be used to reduce your taxable income sometimes all the way to zero. This however simply means that you don't have to pay income tax but does not mean that there won't be other taxes to pay.
Because of these additional taxes left to pay, a person will still pay certain taxes even if their taxable income is below zero. Tax expenditures therefore do not help much with a federal tax bill of zero.

Video Planet (VP) sells a big screen TV package consisting of a 60-inch HDTV, a universal remote, and on-site installation by VP staff. The installation includes programming the remote to have the TV interface with other parts of the customer's home entertainment system. VP concludes that the TV, remote, and installation service are separate performance obligations. VP sells the 60-inch TV separately for $1,700, sells the remote separately for $100, and offers the installation service separately for $200. The entire package sells for $1,900.
Required: How much revenue would be allocated to the TV, the remote, and the installation service?
Answer:
Video Planet (VP)
The revenue that would be allocated to the TV, the remote, and the installation service:
TV = $1,615
Remote = $95
Installation service = $190
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales price of 60-inch TV = $1,700
Sales price of remote = $100
Installation service = $200
Total sales price, if sold separately = $2,000
Sales price of entire package = $1,900
Revenue allocated to the 3 performance obligations:
TV = $1,700/$2,000 * $1,900 = $1,615
Remote = $100/$2,000 * $1,900 = $95
Installation service = $200/$2,000 * $1,900 = $190
Total revenue allocated = $1,900

Question 4
Write a short essay about Controlling Inventory".
Explanation:
The necessity of inventory control is to maintain a reserve (store) of goods that will ensure manufacturing according to the production plan based on sales requirements and the lowest possible ultimate cost.
Losses from improper inventory control include purchases in excess than what needed, the cost of slowed up production resulting from material not being available when wanted. Each time a machine is shut down for lack of materials or each time sale is postponed or cancelled for lack of finished goods. Thus a factory loses money.
To promote smooth factory operation and to prevent piling up of stock or idle machine time proper quantity of material must be on hand when it is wanted. Proper inventory control can reduce such losses to a great extent.
Hotel California Hotel California is a luxury hotel which has just got a new manager, Rocky. Given its location and quality, the hotel always had enough people making advance reservations to fill up all the rooms available. The hotel charges $200 per room per night for reservations made in advance (Hint:think of this $200 as the purchasing cost in the Newsvendor model). Rocky had taken the OPRE3310 at UTD last semester and decided to implement some of those techniques in his current job. He implemented a policy of reserving some rooms for last-minute requests and charges these requests S300 per room per night (Hint: think of this $300 as the selling price in the Newsvendor model) The unsold reserved rooms are worth nothing at the end of the day (Hint: that is the salvage value is $0). Based on his estimation, the number of last minute customers is uniformly distributed with minimum of 1 and maximum of 10
a) How much is the cost of reserving too little by one? That is the underage cost, Cu
b) How much is the cost of reserving too much by one? That is the overage cost, Co
c) What is the optimal service level?
d) How many rooms should be reserved for last-minute customers? Hint: what is Q"?
Answer:
Hotel California
a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu
= $100
b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co =
= $200
c) The optimal service level
= 0.33
d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q
= 3
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Charges per room per night (purchase cost) = $200
Charges for last-minute requests per room per night (selling price) - $300
Value of unsold reserved rooms (Salvage value) = $0
Minimum of last-minute customers, Min = 1
Maximum of last-minute customers, Max = 10
a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu = Selling price - Purchasing cost
= $300 - $200
= $100
b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co = Purchasing cost - Salvage value
= $200 - $0
= $200
c) The optimal service level = Cu/Co+Cu
= $100/$200 + $100
= $100/$300
= 0.33
d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q
= Cu/Co+Cu (Max - Min) + Min
= 0.33 * (10 - 1) + 1
= 0.33 * (10)
= 3

Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 11,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 26,000 units per month. At the 11,000-unit-per-month level of production, the per-unit cost is $46, consisting of $30 in variable costs and $16 in fixed costs. Burns sells its saws to retail stores for $71 each. Allen Distributors has offered to purchase 4,100 saws per month at a reduced price. Burns can manufacture these additional units with no change in its present level of fixed manufacturing costs. Using an incremental analysis approach, Burns should consider accepting this special order only if the price per unit offered by Allen is at least: Multiple Choice $16. $46. $71. $30. qizket
Answer:
Selling price= $30
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary cost:
Variable= $30
Fixed= $16
Number of units= 4,100
Normally, when there is unused capacity and a new customer asks for a reduced price, the fixed cost should not be taken into account when calculating the selling price. The company benefits from increasing its sales, acquiring a new customer, and perhaps getting some discounts from suppliers in the variable components.
The lower price that the company accepts is the one that equals the unitary variable cost. In this case:
Selling price= $30
REITs pay dividends in order to retain their favorable tax status. As the next chapter on stock explains, corporate dividends are made from earnings. REIT dividends often are not made from earnings but the distributions are made from funds from operations (FFO). REIT accounting earnings are adjusted for noncash expenses such as deprecia-tion to determine funds from operations. In addition, a REIT may sell a property and distribute the proceeds. For these reasons, financial analysts often use FFO instead of earnings to analyze a REIT. Distributions are often more highly correlated with per-share funds from operation than they are with earnings per share (EPS). Consider the following FFO and EPS for Washington Real Estate Trust:
Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Distributions $1.16 1.23 1.31 1.39 1.47 1.55 1.60 1.64 1.68 1.72 1.73 1.74 1.74 1.47 1.20 1.20
FFO
$1.57 1.79 1.96 1.97 2.04 2.05 2.07 2.12 2.31 2.12 2.06 1.96 1.95 1.84 1.69 1.51
EPS
$1.24 1.26 1.38 1.32 1.13 1.09 1.84 0.88 1.34 0.67 0.71 0.60 1.58 0.35 0.55 1.67
To verify that the dividend distribution is more strongly correlated with FFO than with EPS, compute the correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO and to EPS.
Answer:
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO = 0.8393
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to EPS = –0.0880
Explanation:
Let X represents distributions, Y represents FFO, and, Z represents EPS.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Means of X, Y and Z as well as other values.
Therefore, we have:
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO = (Total of (X - Mean of X) * (Y - Mean of Y)) / ((Total of (X - Mean of X)^2) * (Total of (Y - Mean of Y)^2))^0.5 = 0.7529 / (0.8554 * 0.9408)^0.5 = 0.8393
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to EPS = (Total of (X - Mean of X) * (Z - Mean of Z)) / ((Total of (X - Mean of X)^2) * (Total of (Z - Mean of Z)^2))^0.5 = –0.1391 / (0.8554 * 2.9200)^0.5 = –0.0880

For the year ended December 31, 2021, Norstar Industries reported net income of $960,000. At January 1, 2021, the company had 1,050,000 common shares outstanding. The following changes in the number of shares occurred during 2021:
Apr. 30 Sold 80,000 shares in a public offering.
May 24 Declared and distributed a 5% stock dividend.
June 1 Issued 90,000 shares as part of the consideration for the purchase of assets from a subsidiary.
Required:
Compute Norstar's earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021. (Enter your answers in thousands. Round "EPS" answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Earning per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 on Norstar's earnings = $0.79 per share
Explanation:
Earning per share is calculated as
Net income reported / Weighted number of outstanding shares
where,
Net income reported is $960,000
And, the weighted number of outstanding share is
For Jan.1
Jan 1 2021 shares × stock dividend
Dividend = 100 + rate = 100 + 0.05 = 1.05
1,050,000 x 1.05=$1, 102,500
For April
April 30 shares × stock dividend× number of months / total number of months in a year
80,000 x 1.0 5 x 8/12(April 30 to December 31 = 8 months)=56,000
For June
June 1 shares × number of months/ total number of months in a year
90,000 x 7/12=56,000
Total weighted number of outstanding shares =$1,102,500+56,000+52,500= $1,211,000
So, the earning per share is
= 960,000 / $1,211,000 shares
= $0.79 per share
