Cusic Music Company is considering the sale of a new sound board used in recording studios. The new board would sell for $24,700, and the company expects to sell 1,640 per year. The company currently sells 1,990 units of its existing model per year. If the new model is introduced, sales of the existing model will fall to 1,660 units per year. The old board retails for $23,100. Variable costs are 53 percent of sales, depreciation on the equipment to produce the new board will be $1,035,000 per year, and fixed costs are $3,250,000 per year. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the annual OCF for the project
Answer: $9,524,922
Explanation:
The annual OCF of the project will be calculated as
= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes
First, we have to calculate the EBIT which will be:
= [ $24,700 x 1,640 - ( 1,990-1,660 x $23,100 ]
= $40,508,000 - (330 × $23100)
= $40,508,000 - $7,623,000
= $ 32,885,000
Variable cost will then be:
= $32,885,000 × 53%
= $32,885,000 x 0.53
= $ 17,429,050
Therefore, EBIT will be:
= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - Fixed cost - depreciation
= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - $3,250,000 - $1,035,000
= $11,170,950
Then, we calculate the value of tax which will be:
= $11,170,950 x 0.24
= $2,681,028
Therefore, OCF will be:
= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes
= $11,170,950 + $1,035,000 - $2,681,028
= $9,524,922

Not all markets are perfectly competitive, due to the presence of , which advocates for better salaries and working conditions on behalf of their members.
Answer:
Because of the existence of certain types of market failure, employers can still engage in DISCRIMINATION and not necessarily lose profits.
Due to the existence of market failures like asymmetric information held by the employers, they can be able to discriminate in the wages they pay to employees such that they do not lose profit.
As an individual allocates their time, they face a trade-off between LEISURE and work.
An individual spends their time between leisure and work and they need to find a trade-off between the two that they are comfortable with because more hours allocated to one means less hours to the other.
Employers have some control over WAGES and adjust them in order to compensate for the danger or unpleasantness of a job and help contribute to certain types of market failure.
As a result of employers adjusting wages to suit the job characteristics or to entice employees, the job can contribute to market failure if the wages being paid are simply too high for that position.
Not all markets are perfectly competitive, due to the presence of UNIONS, which advocates for better salaries and working conditions on behalf of their members.
Unions campaign for their members to get better salaries and working conditions which might not be representative of the contribution of the job which leads to a situation where the market is no longer competitive because the tradeoff is not balanced.
Waldo Company has been approached about providing a new service to its clients. The company will bill clients $160 per hour; the related hourly variable and fixed operating costs will be $70 and $24, respectively. If all employees are currently working at full capacity on other client matters, the per-hour opportunity cost of being unable to provide this new service is:
Answer:
$90 per hour
Explanation:
Opportunity cost means the benefit one have forgone, for choosing another alternative. Opportunity cost of being unable to provide new service = Billing price - Variable cost per hour. Here, fixed cost is not considered because it will be incurred irrespective of the capacity of working.
So, Opportunity cost = $160 - $70 = $90 per hour
The sales volume variance is the difference between the: A. static budget (based on planned volume) and actual revenue or cost. B. flexible budget (based on actual volume) and actual revenue or cost. C. static budget (based on actual volume) and the flexible budget (based on planned volume). D. static budget (based on planned volume) and the flexible budget (based on actual volume).
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: static budget (based on planned volume) and actual revenue or cost.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Sales volume variance" refers to a method used in the business and accounting field with the main purpose of obtaining the comparison between the planned sales and the actual sales. It does it by stating that the difference between those two multiply by the budget price of the product will result in the variance itself. The goal of this method is to measure the sales performance and to see if there are no mathces with the expected revenues then the company has to take a lead and do something about it.

A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet
B. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
C. Income Statement loss of $2,000 Available-for-sale investments of $13,000 on the balance sheet
D. Loss of $2,000 on the income statement Temporary investments of $11,000 on the balance sheet
Answer: A. No loss on the income statement Available-for-sale investments of $11,000 and an unrealized loss of $2,000 in stockholders' equity on the balance sheet.
Explanation:
Available-For-Sale (AFS) securities are not to have their gains or losses reflected in the income statement. They are to be reflected in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) section of the Stockholders Equity.
If there is a loss, the AFS security is written down by the loss amount which is then transferred to the OCI section of equity as an unrealized loss. It will reduce the OCI which would reduce the stockholders equity.
In this case therefore, AFS would go to $11,000 and OCI would record an unrealized loss of $2,000.

For many years, college costs (including tuition, fees, and room and board) increases have been higher than the inflation rate, averaging 5% to 8% per year. According to the College Board's Trends in College Pricing, the average total costs at present in dollars is $19,500 for students attending in-state four-year public colleges and universities and $41,000 for students at four-year private colleges and universities. Assume an additional $5,000 per year for textbooks, supplies, transportation, and other expenses.
Using a 7% per year inflation rate, how much can a sophomore high-school student expect to spend on in-state tuition, fees, and room and board for the freshman year (3 years from now) at a four-year public university?
A sophomore high-school student is expected to spend $ for the freshman year.
Answer: $23,888
Explanation:
The cost today for a freshman at a public university is $19,500.
Inflation is at 7% a year and the period is 3 years from now. It is best to use a future value formula:
= Fees * ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years
= 19,500 * ( 1 + 7%)³
= 19,500 * 1.225043
= $23,888

g In the theory of comparative advantage, a good should be produced in that nation where Multiple Choice the production possibilities line lies further to the right than the trading possibilities line. its cost is least in terms of alternative goods that might otherwise be produced. its absolute cost in terms of real resources used is least. its absolute money cost of production is least.
Answer:
its cost is least in terms of alternative goods that might otherwise be produced
Explanation:
Comparative Advantage
This is simply explained as when an individual has an opportunity cost of performing a task is lower than the other individuals opportunity cost that is it is more efficient. It is the usual fundamental basis for international trade. Its principle includes production at a maximum peak to be achieved if each individual focus on the job or activities for which his or her opportunity cost is lowest.
Opportunity Cost
This is simply known as the highest valued of an alternative that must be given up so as to be involved or engage in an activity/job or task. There are several sources of a comparative advantage. They includes;
1. Climate and natural resources
2. Relative abundance of labor and capital
3. Technology
4. External economies etc.
Clark's Chemical Company received refundable deposits on returnable containers in the amount of $102,000 during 2021. Thirteen percent of the containers were not returned. The deposits are based on the container cost marked up 35%. What is cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture
Answer:
$9,822
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture
Cost of goods sold=($102,000 x 13%) ÷(100+35%)
Cost of goods sold=($102,000 x 13%) ÷ 135% =
Cost of goods sold=$13,260÷135%
Cost of goods sold=$9,822
Therefore the cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture is $9,822
Assume that Solo Company commenced operations on January 1, 2006, and it was granted permission to use the same depreciation calculations for shareholder reporting and income tax purposes. The company planned to depreciate its fixed assets over 15 years, but in December 2006 management realized that the assets would last for only 10 years. Solo's accountants plan to report the 2006 financial statements based on this new information. How would the new depreciation assumption affect the company's financial statements
Answer: c. The firm's cash position in 2006 and 2007 would increase.
Explanation:
Depreciation expense is heavily dependent on the useful life of the asset. The longer the useful life, the smaller the depreciation expense because the equipment is being depreciated over a longer period.
If the useful life is reduced from 15 to 10 years therefore, the depreciation expense would increase.
The Cash position of a company is calculated by adding back the depreciation to the Net income after taxes are paid because depreciation is not a cash expense.
If the depreciation is now larger (which it is) and is added back to the Net income, the cash position will therefore increase.
Project Droid has a net present value of $45,000 and has an initial investment of $180,000. Project Clone has a net present value of $8,000 and has an initial investment of $30,000. The projects are proposals for increasing revenue and are mutually exclusive. The firm should accept... Only Project Clone should be accepted Only Project Droid should be accepted Neither Project should be accepted Both Project Clone and Project Droid should be accepted
Answer:
Neither Project should be accepted
Explanation:
Given that
The net present value and the initial investment of the project droid is $45,000 and $180,000 respectively
And, the net present value and the initial investment of the project clone is $8,000 and $30,000 respectively
Since the net present value of both the projects are less than their initial investment so both the projects should not be accepted as the net present value is in negative
The following information relating to a company's overhead costs is available. Actual total variable overhead $ 75,000 Actual total fixed overhead $ 14,000 Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour $ 2.50 Budgeted total fixed overhead $ 15,000 Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output 32,000 Based on this information, the total variable overhead variance is:
Answer:
$5,000 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the total variable overhead variance is given below:
= Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output × Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour - Actual total variable overhead
= 32,000 hours × $2.50 - $75,000
= $80,000 - $75,000
= $5,000 favorable
Since the favorable is more than the actual so it should be favorable
A firm has an average loan outstanding of $75,000,000 on a $100,000,000 line of credit. There is a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the line, and the interest rate on the borrowed funds is LIBOR 175 basis points. LIBOR is 3.0%. What is the effective annual borrowing rate on the line of credit
Answer:
2.44%
Explanation:
Average outstanding loan = $75,000,000
Total line of credit = $100,000,000
Unused portion = $25,000,000 ($100,000,000-$75,000,000)
Commitment fee = 0.25%
Interest rate = 3.175% (3+0.175%)
Commitment fee = Unused portion*Commitment fee rate
Commitment fee = $25,000,000*0.0025
Commitment fee = $62,500
Interest = Average outstanding balance*Interest rate
Interest = $75,000,000*0.03175
Interest = $2,381,250
Total borrowing cost = Commitment fee + Interest
Total borrowing cost = $62,500 + $2,381,250
Total borrowing cost = $2,443,750
Effective borrowing rate = Total borrowing cost / Credit limit
Effective borrowing rate = $2,443,750/$100,000,000
Effective borrowing rate = 0.0244375
Effective borrowing rate = 2.44%
