Both the demand curve and the supply curve are straight lines. If the price is $4 but only 6 units are bought and sold, producer surplus will be
Answer:
$12
Explanation:
Producer's surplus=1/2*Q*P( Just like the formula for the area of a triangle which is 1/2*base*height)
P is the price of the item which is $4
Q is the quantity bought and sold, which is 6 units in this case, hence, the producer surplus is shown thus
producer's surplus=1/2*$4*6
producer's surplus=$12

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
You have $100,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expected return of 12.1 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 10.28 percent and a beta of 1.20, and Stock Y has an expected return of 7.52 percent and a beta of .80.
a. How much money will you invest in Stock Y? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is the beta of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)
a. Investment in Stock Y
b. Portfolio beta
Answer:
a. Amount to invest in Y
The amount that will be invested in Stock Y should be such that the expected return of the portfolio would equal 12.1%.
This would be determined by the weights of the stock.
Assume the weight to be invested in X is x.
Portfolio return = (weight of X * Return of X) + (weight of Y * Return of Y)
12.1% = (x * 10.28%) + ( (1 - x) * 7.52%)
0.121 = 0.1028x + 0.0752 - 0.0752x
0.121 - 0.0752 = 0.1028x - 0.0752x
0.0458 = 0.0276x
x = 0.0458 / 0.0276
= 1.6594
Weight in stock Y:
= 1 - 1.6594
= -0.6594
Amount to invest in Y:
= -0.6594 * 100,000
= -$65,940
b. Portfolio beta
It will be a weighted average of the betas of the two stocks:
= (Weight of stock X * Stock X Beta) + ( Weight of stock Y * Stock Y beta)
= (1.6594 * 1.20) + (-0.6594 * 0.80)
= 1.46
Assume a firm generates $2,500 in sales, has a $800 increase in accounts receivable and has a $500 increase in accounts payable during an accounting period. Based solely on this information, cash flow from operations will increase by:
Answer:
Cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.
Explanation:
The amount of increase in cash flow from operations can be calculated as follows:
Increase in cash flow from operations = Sales - Increase in accounts receivable + Increase in accounts payable …………… (1)
Sales = $2,500
Increase in accounts receivable = $800
Increase in accounts payable = $500
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Increase in cash flow from operations = $2,500 - $800 + $500 = $2,200
Therefore, cash flow from operations will increase by $2,200.
A rich singer has donated $450,846 to endow a university professorial chair in Bohemian Studies. If the money is invested at 12.65%, how much can be withdrawn each year, ad infinitum (indefinitely), to pay the Professor of B.S.
Answer:
Annual withdrawal= $57,032.02
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $450,846
Interest rate (i)= 12.65%
To calculate the annual withdrawal, we need to use the following formula:
PV= Cf / i
Cf= annual cash flow
450,846= Cf / 0.1265
450,846*0.1265 = Cf
Cf= $57,032.02
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
Sandhill Diesel owns the Fredonia Barber Shop. He employs 7 barbers and pays each a base rate of $1,650 per month. One of the barbers serves as the manager and receives an extra $500 per month. In addition to the base rate, each barber also receives a commission of $5.50 per haircut. Other costs are as follows.
Advertising $260 per month
Rent $800 per month
Barber supplies $0.30 per haircut
Utilities $185 per month plus $0.20 per haircut
Magazines $20 per month
Determine the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs. (Round variable costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)
Total variable cost per haircut $
Total fixed $
Answer:
the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs is $6 per haircut and $13,315 respectively
Explanation:
The computation is given below:
The variable cost per haircut should be
= $5.50 + $0.20 + $0.30
= $6 per haircut
And, the fixed cost should be
= 7 × $1,650 + $500 + $260 + $800 + $185 + $20
= $13,315
So, the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs is $6 per haircut and $13,315 respectively

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.
Economists assume that individual decisions will be determined by the output or production costs they create. the output or production costs they create. the trade-offs they creates. the trade-offs they creates. the societal demands associated with them.
Answer:
the trade-offs they creates.
Explanation:
Trade-off is the opportunity cost of taking a particular decision
Opportunity cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
For example, if there is a worker who values an hour of leisure at $10 and he is paid $20 per hour. If he has to choose between leisure and working. He would choose to work because the opportunity cost of not working (10) is lower when compared to the opportunity cost of leisure ($20)
A trade off is a situation that includes the decline or reduction n one quality and property for the sake of another. Only a certain value of objected can fit into the terms of multiple terms of the configurations.
An economics always assumes the individual decision making ability to determine the output or production costs they create.Hence the option A is correct.

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

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
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
National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $52 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $73 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,800 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $132,000. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant
Answer: $52,800
Explanation:
The effect on profit is:
= (Difference in selling price - Incremental cost per unit of producing the new variant) * Number of gallons of new gallons to be produced
= ((73 - 52) - (132,000 / 8,800) ) * 8,800
= ( 21 - 15) * 8,800
= $52,800
Profit is positive so they should produce the new variant.

When it produces and sells 9,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 5.15 Direct labor $ 5.30 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.95 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 8.00 Fixed selling expense $ 3.75 Fixed administrative expense $ 1.40 Sales commissions $ 0.60 Variable administrative expense $ 0.55 If the selling price is $26.00 per unit, the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:
Answer:
$12.45
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit using this formula
Variable cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + Sales commissions per unit + Variable administrative expense per unit
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit = $5.15 + $5.30 + $1.95 + $0.60 + $0.55
Variable cost per unit = $13.55
Now let determine the Contribution margin per unit using this formula
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin per unit = $26.00 - $13.55
Contribution margin per unit = $12.45
Therefore the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:$12.45
