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

Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. During 2015, an auction house sold a painting for a price of $1,080,000. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it three years earlier at a price of $1,660,000.
What was his annual rate of return on this painting? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer: -13.35%
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the annual rate of return on this painting will be calculated thus:
Sales price of painting = $1,080,000
Cost price of painting = $1,660,000
The sales Price formula is given as
= Cost price × (1 +r)³
1080000 = 1660000 × (1+r)³
1,080,000/1,660,000 = (1+r)³
0.65 = (1 + r)³
Annual rate of return r will now be:
= 0.6506^⅓ - 1
= -13.35%
XYZ Company estimates the amount of materials handling overhead cost that should be allocated to the company's two products using the data that are given below: Wall Mirrors Specialty Windows Total expected units produced 9,000 6,000 Total expected material moves 400 100 Expected direct labor-hours per unit 7 5 The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $6,800. The materials handling cost is allocated based on the number of materials moves. What is the total materials handling cost allocated to the specialty windows
Answer: $2,720
Explanation:
Total materials handling cost for specialty windows = Proportion of total units * Total materials handling cost
Proportion of total units = Specialty units / (Specialty windows + Wall mirrors)
= 6,000 / (6,000 + 9,000)
= 0.4
Total material handling cost for specialty windows = 0.4 * 6,800
= $2,720

Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. is considering a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $600,000; however, in raising this capital, Green Caterpillar will incur an additional flotation cost of 2%. At the end of the year, the project is expected to produce a cash inflow of $840,000. The rate of return that Green Caterpillar expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is:________
a. 29.80
b. 22.35
c. 37.25
d. 33.53
Answer:
c. 37.25%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Caterpillar expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is
First step
Net investment = Additional investment*(1 + Flotation cost rate)
Net investment= $600,000*(1 + 0.02)
Net investment= $612,000
Now let Compute the rate of return (ROR), using this formula
ROR = (Cash inflows – Net investment)/ Net investment
Let plug in the formula
ROR = ($840,000 - $612,000)/ $612,000
ROR = $228,000/ $612,000
ROR=37.25%
Therefore Caterpillar expects to earn on the project after its flotation costs are taken into account is 37.25%.

Your company sponsors a 401(k) plan into which you deposit 8 percent of your $65,000 annual income. Your company matches 50 percent of the first 3 percent of your earnings. You expect the fund to yield 8 percent next year. Assume you are currently in the 31 percent tax bracket.
Required:
a. How many dollars did you invest out of your salary in your 401(k) plan this year?
b. What is your one-year return?
Answer:
a. $6,669
b.85.87%
Explanation:
Annual income = $65000
Employee deposit = 8%
= 65000*8%
= $5200
Tax rate given = 31%
Tax savings = $5200*31%
Tax savings= 1/$1,612
Net employee cost = $5200 - $1612
Net employee cost=$3588
Employer deposit = 65,000 * 50% * 3%
Employer deposit= $975
Total employee and employer investment = $5200 + $975
Total employee and employer investment= $6175
Given yield rate = 8%
a) Calculation to determine How many dollars did you invest out of your salary in your 401(k) plan this year
Using this formula
Total investment at end of year 1 = $6,175*(1+yield)
Let plug in the formula
Total investment at end of year 1=$6,175*1.08
Total investment at end of year 1= $6,669
Therefore How many dollars did you invest out of your salary in your 401(k) plan this year is $6,669
b) Calculation to determine your one-year return
Using this formula
One year return = (Year end investment - Employee net cost) / Employee net cost
Let plug in the formula
One year return= ($6,669 - $3588) / $3588
One year return=$3,081/$3,588
One year return= 0.8587*100
One year return= 85.87%
Therefore your one-year return is 85.87%
What is the difference between independent and dependent demand. Group of answer choices independent iemand is based on market forces while Dependent demand is based on production schedule dependent demand is what determines independent demand independent demand is based on dependent demand dependent demand is based on sales while independent demand is based on management decisions
Answer:
independent demand is based on market forces while Dependent demand is based on production schedule
Explanation:
Independent demand is the demand for a finished product bought by a consumer e.g. the demand for a textbook by a student
independent demand is based on market forces e.g. the price of the good
Consumers would be more willing to purchase a good that is cheaper compared to other goods
Dependent demand is the demand for the factors of productions that are needed in the production of the final good or service. e.g. the demand for labour , purchase of inventory needed to produce a good
If consumers do not demand for the finished product, there would be no demand for the inventory
Botosan Factory has budgeted factory overhead for the year at $468,602, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 280,600. If the actual direct labor hours for the month of May are 255,300, the overhead allocated for May is
Answer:
$426,351
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the overhead allocated for May is
Using this formula
Overhead allocated for May=(Estimated overhead/Estimated total DLHs)*Overhead rate per DLHs
Let plug in the formula
Overhead allocated for May=($468,602/ 280,600)*255,300
Overhead allocated for May=$1.67*255,300
Overhead allocated for May=$426,351
Therefore the overhead allocated for May is $426,351
American Delights manufactures a wide variety of holiday and seasonal decorative items. American's activity-based costing overhead rates are:
Purchasing $380 per order
Storing $2 per square foot/days
Machining $100 per machine hour
Supervision $5 per direct labor hour
The Snow Man project involved three purchase orders, 4,000 square feet/days, 60 machine hours, and 40 direct labor hours. The cost of direct materials on the job was $19,000 and the direct labor rate is $30 per hour.
Determine the total cost of the Snow Man project.
Answer:
Total cost= $34,780
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate costs to Snow Man project:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Purchasing= 380*1= 380
Storing= 2*4,000= 8,000
Machining= 100*60= 6,000
Supervision= 5*40= 200
Total allocated costs= $14,580
Now, the total costs:
Total cost= 19,000 + 30*40 + 14,580
Total cost= $34,780
Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 9,800 for July and 10,000 for August. The direct labor requirement per unit is 0.40 hours. Labor is paid at the rate of $20 per hour.

Papermill Plc was acquired by a private equity firm, whose investment horizon is 5 years and minimum IRR requirement is 20.0%. The private equity firm estimates the exit EBITDA and exit EV EBITDA multiple to be 1,200.0 and 11.0x, respectively. The EBITDA at entry is 1,100.0 and the amount of debt financing raised at entry is 7.0x EBITDA. The cash flow model built by the private equity firm estimates the debt to be 5.0x EBITDA at exit. Using the assumptions above, estimate the equity funding of the deal at entry.
Sales 1,000.0
Cost of goods sold 600.0
Selling, general and administration 100.0
Interest expense 50.0
Tax expense 75.0
The estimated equity funding of the deal at entry is $2,893.52
EV means Enterprise value
EBITDA means Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization
Given that the private equity firm estimates that:
Exit EBITDA = 1,200
EV / EBITDA = 11.0x
To derive EV from the EV / EBITDA, then EV / EBITDA is multiplied by EBITDA.
EV = EV / EBITDA * EBITDA (i.e.)
EV = 11 * 1,200
EV = 13,200
Given that the private equity firm estimates the debt to be 5.0x EBITDA at exit.
Debt = 5.0 * EBITDA at exit
Debt = 5.0 * 1,200
Debt = 6,000
To derive the equity value at exit, the debt is subtracted from the EV
Equity value at exit = EV - Debt
Equity value at exit = 13,200 - 6,000
Equity value at exit = 7,200
The equity funding of the deal at entry will be derived using this formula "Equity value at exit / (1 + IRR)^n" where IRR is 20% and n is 5 years
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / (1 + 20%)^5
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / (1 + 0.20)^5
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / (1.20)^5
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / 2.48832
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 2893.518518518519
Equity funding of the deal at entry = $2,893.52 (approx).

Froot Loop Inc., a cereal manufacturer, has variable costs of $0.40 per unit of product. In May, the volume of production was 25,000 units, and units sold were 21,600. The total production costs incurred were $30,600. What are the fixed costs per month
Answer:
the fixed cost per month is $20,600
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost is given below:
Fixed costs = Total Production Costs - Variable costs
= $30600 - $0.40 per unit × 25000 units
= $30600 - $10,000
= $20,600
hence, the fixed cost per month is $20,600
We simply deduct the variable cost from the total production cost so that the fixed cost could come
Alpha Industries stock sold for $39 a share at the beginning of the year. During the year, the company paid a dividend of $3 a share and then ended the year with a stock price of $37. The change in the stock price is best described as a:
Answer: c. capital loss.
Explanation:
A capital loss refers to a scenario where the price of a security falls below the price at which it was purchased. This is what happened to the Alpha Industries stock above as the price dropped from $39 to $37 which led to a capital loss of $2.
The dividends paid seem to outweigh the capital loss but we cannot be certain of this unless we know the tax rate being applied to the dividends and because these are usually high, the after tax dividends might have been lower the capital loss of $2.

Explanation:
From the question, we have the qualified research expenditures to be
=> $100,000 + $18,000 + $25,000 + $9,000 = $152,000
Also, given that under the election to amortize, the monthly amortization is
=> $152,000 ÷ 60 months = $2,533
Hence, given that, sales will not start until next year, there is no deduction for the current year, which implies that the right answer is $0
Bill Johnson, sales manager, and Diane Buswell, controller, at Current Designs are beginning to analyze the cost considerations for one of the composite models of the kayak division. They have provided the following production and operational costs necessary to produce one composite kayak.
Kevlar $250 per kayak
Resin and supplies $100 per kayak
Finishing kit (seat, rudder, ropes, etc.) $170 per kayak
Labor $420 per kayak
Selling and administrative expenses—variable $400 per kayak
Selling and administrative expenses—fixed $119,700 per year
Manufacturing overhead—fixed $240,000 per year
Bill and Diane have asked you to provide a cost-volume-profit analysis, to help them finalize the budget projections for the upcoming year. Bill has informed you that the selling price of the composite kayak will be $2,000.

Answer:
a. Particulars Amount$
Kevlar per kayak 250
Resin and Supplies per kayak 100
Finishing Kit per kayak 170
Labor per Kayak 420
Variable selling & admin. exp. per kayak 400
Total variable cost per kayak 1,340
b. Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $2,000 per unit - $1,340 per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $660 per unit
c. Break-even point in units = Total fixed costs/ Contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units = ($ 119,700 + $240,000) / $660 per unit
Break-even point in units = 545 units
d. Number of units to be sold = (Total Fixed cost + Target Profit)/ Contribution margin per unit
Number of units to be sold= ($119,700 + $240,000 + $270,600) / $660 per unit
Number of units to be sold = 955 units
So therefore, the company needs to sell 955 units in order to achieve target profit of $270,600.
