Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows.
Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin
Lawnmowers 20% $33
Weed-trimmers 50% $21
Chainsaws 30% $37
Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,200,000.
Required:
Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix.
Answer:
Lawnmowers’ break-even point in units = 29,787 units
Weed-trimmers’ break-even point in units = 74,468 units
Chainsaws' break-even point in units = 44,681 unit
Explanation:
Given:
Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin
Lawnmowers 20% $33
Weed-trimmers 50% $21
Chainsaws 30% $37
The number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix can be computed using Weighted-Average Contribution Margin Ratio as follows:
Weighted contribution margin = (Sales Mix of Lawnmowers * Unit Contribution Margin of Lawnmowers) + (Sales Mix of Weed-trimmers * Unit Contribution Margin of Weed-trimmers) + (Sales Mix of Chainsaws * Unit Contribution Margin of Chainsaws) = (20% * $33) + (50% * $21) + (30% * $37) = $28.20
Total break-even point in units for the company = Fixed cost / Weighted contribution margin = $4,200,000 / $28.20 = 148,936 units
Therefore, we have:
Lawnmowers’ break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Lawnmowers * Total break-even point in units for the company = 20% * 148,936 = 29,787 units
Weed-trimmers’ break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Weed-trimmers * Total break-even point in units for the company = 50% * 148,936 = 74,468 units
Chainsaw’s break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Chainsaws * Total break-even point in units for the company = 30% * 148,936 = 44,681 units
In The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, Keynes rejected the idea that international trade always helps to achieve economic stability. the ultimate breakdown of the capitalist system is inevitable. budget deficits necessarily cause recessions and inflation. a capitalist economy always gravitates toward high levels of employment.
Answer:
A capitalist economy always gravitates toward high levels of employment.
Explanation:
John Maynard Keynes
This is a man commonly known as an English economist. He was known to be the one wrote a book called "The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money" in 1883-1946. It is said that he was most famous for The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in 1936. He was known to argued that the best way to deal with prolonged recessions was deficit spending. It was documented that He believed in free market and he is known as the father of modern economics.

Your company buys a computer system for $3 million and pays the vendor $200,000 to install the computer system. Your company should record: A. $3.2 million as expenses. B. $2.8 million as equipment and the rest as expenses. C. $3.2 million as equipment. D. $3 million as equipment and $200,000 as expenses.
Answer:
Your company should record:
C. $3.2 million as equipment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of computer system = $3 million
Installation cost = $200,000
Total equipment cost = $3.2 million
b) The cost of installation, which helps to bring the computer system into its intended use, forms part of the equipment cost. Therefore, to record the asset in the books of the company, the sum of $3.2 million will be recorded as equipment. There are no expenses for the equipment at this time.
A company must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 13,000 defective units that cost $5.50 per unit to manufacture. The units can be sold as is for $3.10 each, or they can be reworked for $4.70 each and then sold for the full price of $8.60 each. If the units are sold as is, the company will be able to build 13,000 replacement units at a cost of $5.50 each, and sell them at the full price of $8.60 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units
Answer:
Selling as is ⇒ $40,300Reworking and then selling ⇒ $50,700Explanation:
Incremental income from selling the scrap as is:
= 13,000 units * 3.10
= $40,300
Incremental cost from reworking and then selling:
= Sale of reworked units - Cost of reworking units
= (8.60 * 13,000) - (4.70 * 13,000)
= 111,800 - 61,100
= $50,700

Front Company had net income of $73,500 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 900 units and 1,400 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $7.95 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
$77,475
Explanation:
Calculation to determine net income under absorption costing
Using this formula
Net income=Net income+(Ending inventories×fixed overhead per unit)- (Beginning Inventories × Fixed overhead per unit)
Let plug in the formula
Net income=$73,500 + (1,400 units x $7.95) - (900 x $7.95)
Net income=$73,500+$11,130-$7,155
Net income=$77,475
Therefore net income under absorption costing is $77,475

Answer:
The marginal propensity to consume = 0.25
Explanation:
Given:
Planned expenditure = 14,000
Consumption expenditure = 450
New consumption expenditure = 400
New planned expenditure = 13,800
Find:
The marginal propensity to consume
Computation:
The marginal propensity to consume = [Consumption expenditure - New consumption expenditure] / [Planned expenditure - New planned expenditure]
The marginal propensity to consume = [450 - 400] / [14,000 - 13,800]
The marginal propensity to consume = 50 / 200
The marginal propensity to consume = 0.25

John House has taken a 20-year, $250,000 mortgage on his house at an interest rate of 6 percent per year. What is the remaining balance (or value) of the mortgage after the payment of the fifth annual installment?
Answer:
$211,689. 53
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the remaining balance (or value) of the mortgage after the payment of the fifth annual installment
Step 1 is to compute PMT using Financial calculator
I = 6%
N = 20
PV = 250,000
FV = 0
PMT=?
Hence,
PMT = 21,796.14.
Now let determine the PV using Financial calculator
I = 6%
N = 15
PMT = 21,796.14
PV=?
Hence,
PV = $211,689. 53
Therefore the remaining balance (or value) of the mortgage after the payment of the fifth annual installment is $211,689. 53
10 years with a stated interest rate of 11% and a face value of $500,000. Interest payments are made semi-annually. The market rate for this type of bond is 12%. Using present value tables, calculate the issue price of the bonds
Answer:= $471,325
Explanation:
Price of a bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value at maturity
Coupon payments = 500,000 * 11% * 1/2 years = $27,500
Periodic yield = 12%/ 2 = 6% per semi annual period
Periods = 10 * 2 = 20 semi annual periods
Coupon payment is constant so it is an annuity.
Price of bond = Present value of annuity + Present value of face value at maturity
= (Annuity * Present value interest factor of Annuity, 6%, 20 years) + Face value / (1 + rate) ^ number of periods
= (27,500 * 11.4699) + 500,000 / (1 + 6%)²⁰
= $471,325

Sheridan Company has the following inventory data: July 1 Beginning inventory 36 units at $19 $684 7 Purchases 126 units at $20 2520 22 Purchases 18 units at $22 396 $3600 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 60 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is
Answer:
$2436
Explanation:
LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.
total goods sold = (total inventory purchased + beginning inventory) - 60
(36 + 126 + 18) - 60
180 - 60
= 120
the 120 units sold would be taken from the inventory purchased on the 22nd and 7
(18 x 22) + [(120 - 18) x 20]
396 + 2040 = 2436
The following data apply to Elizabeth's Electrical Equipment:

The company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock. What will the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase?
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase
First step
Total Assets=Value of operations of 20,000+ Short term investments of 1000
Total Assets=$21,000
Second step
Equity =Assets - Debt
Equity= $21,000-$6,000
Equity= $15,000
Now let determine the intrinsic per share stock price
Intrinsic per share stock price=$15,000/300
Intrinsic per share stock price=$50
Therefore the Intrinsic value per share will be $50 immediately after the repurchase has occured.
The intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase would be approximately $166,716.67
How did we get the value?To determine the intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase, we need to calculate the new number of shares outstanding after the repurchase and then divide the remaining value of operations by the new number of shares.
Given data:
Value of operations: $20,000
Short-term investments: $1,000
Debt: $6,000
Number of shares: 300
First, we need to calculate the new number of shares outstanding after the repurchase. Since the company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock, we can use this information to determine the number of shares repurchased.
The value of operations ($20,000) plus the short-term investments ($1,000) minus the debt ($6,000) gives us the total equity value of the company before the repurchase:
Equity value before repurchase = Value of operations + Short-term investments - Debt
= $20,000 + $1,000 - $6,000
= $15,000
Let's assume the repurchased shares are denoted by R.
Now, we can set up an equation to represent the total equity value after the repurchase:
Equity value after repurchase = (Number of shares - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price
Given that the total equity value after the repurchase is $15,000 and the number of shares is 300, we have:
$15,000 = (300 - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price
We also know that the company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock, so we can set up another equation to represent the total value of the repurchased shares:
Total value of repurchased shares = R × Intrinsic per share stock price
Given that the total value of repurchased shares is $50 million, we have:
$50,000,000 = R × Intrinsic per share stock price
Now we can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of R (repurchased shares) and Intrinsic per share stock price.
We have the following system of equations:
$15,000 = (300 - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price ...(1)
$50,000,000 = R × Intrinsic per share stock price ...(2)
Divide equation (2) by Intrinsic per share stock price:
$50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price = R
Substitute this value of R into equation (1):
$15,000 = (300 - ($50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price)) × Intrinsic per share stock price
Simplify:
$15,000 = 300 × Intrinsic per share stock price - (50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price) × Intrinsic per share stock price
$15,000 = 300 × Intrinsic per share stock price - 50,000,000
Rearrange the equation:
300 × Intrinsic per share stock price = $15,000 + $50,000,000
300 × Intrinsic per share stock price = $50,015,000
Intrinsic per share stock price = $50,015,000 / 300
Intrinsic per share stock price = $166,716.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase would be approximately $166,716.67.

The inventory turnover ratio: Multiple Choice Is used to analyze collectability. Is used to measure solvency. Reveals how many times a company sells its merchandise inventory during a period. Reveals how many days a company can sell inventory if no new merchandise is purchased. Calculation depends on the company's inventory valuation method.
Answer: Reveals how many times a company sells its merchandise inventory during a period.
Explanation:
The Inventory Turnover Ratio is used to measure how often a company is able to sell off all its inventory within a single period. The higher this is, the better because it means that the company has a high sales rate and is incurring low storage costs since the inventory does not stay with them for long.
It is important to use this ratio relative to the type of industry it is being applied to however. For instance, a car dealership would be expected to have a lower inventory turnover ratio than a grocery store so comparing them using this ratio would be inaccurate.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Notes Payable on December 1 = $145,000
Interest rate on the note = 9%
Duration of note = 90 days
December 1
Plus 90 days
= February 28
Interest expense for the current year = $1,108 ($145,000 * 9% * 31/365)
Interest expense for the following year = $2,109 ($145,000 * 9% * 59/365)
Analysis:
December 1:
Cash $145,000
Notes Payable $145,000
December 31:
Interest Expense $1,108
Interest Payable $1,108
February 28:

Suppose real GDP is forecasted to grow by 1.881.88 %, the velocity of money has been stable, and the Fed announces an inflation target of 2.502.50 %. What is the largest money growth rate the Fed could implement and still achieve its inflation target
Answer: 4.38%
Explanation:
Use the Quantity Theory of Money to find the growth rat:
MV = PY
ΔMoney supply + ΔVelocity = ΔPrice level + ΔEconomic output or GDP
Velocity is stable so is 0.
ΔMoney supply + 0 = 2.50% + 1.88%
ΔMoney supply = 4.38%

Operating Leverage
Haywood Co. reports the following data:
Sales $6,160,000
Variable costs (4,620,000)
Contribution margin $1,540,000
Fixed costs (440,000)
Operating income $1,100,000
Determine Haywood Co.’s operating leverage. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Answer:
Degree of operating leverage= 1.4
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $6,160,000
Variable costs (4,620,000)
Contribution margin $1,540,000
Fixed costs (440,000)
Operating income $1,100,000
To calculate the degree of operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:
degree of operating leverage= Total contribution margin / operating income
degree of operating leverage= 1,540,000 / 1,100,000
degree of operating leverage= 1.4
Consider a world in which there is no currency and depository institutions issue only transactions deposits and desire to hold no excess reserves. The required reserve ratio is
Consider a world in which there is no currency and depository institutions issue only transactions deposits and desire to hold no excess reserves. The required reserve ratio is 15 percent. The central bank sells $0.98 billion in government securities.
What happens to the money supply?
Give reasons to support your answer.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Considering the situation described above, the result is that there will be a DECREASE in the money supply of $6.53 billion.
This is because the money multiplier is calculated as 1/rr, where RR is the reserve ratio.
Hence, in this case, we have 1/0.15 = 6.67
Therefore, 6.67 × $0.98 billion = $6.53 billion.
Suppose that an additional 350 hours per week can be obtained from the milling machines by working overtime. The incremental cost would be $2.00 per hour. What would be the allowable increase(from the excel sensitivity report) in overtime when compared to additional hours that can be obtained
Solution :
It is given that :
Additional time obtained per week from milling machines = 350
The incremental cost = $ 2 per hour
Therefore, the allowable increase for milling operation is 400.
This indicates that we can accommodate additional constraint RHS of [tex]200[/tex] hours.
Also we have to consider the impact on the profit of 2.25 which is an incremental cost of [tex]1.5[/tex] is well affordable.
