A permanent flood control dam is expected to have an initial cost of $2.8 million and an annual upkeep cost of $20,000. In addition, minor reconstruction will be required every 5 years at a cost of $200,000. As a result of the dam, flood damage will be reduced by an average of $180,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 6% per year, the conventional B/C ratio will be closest to:
Answer:
0.81
Explanation:
Present Value of annual Maintenance cost = $20,000 / 6% = $333,333.33
In five year time, $200,000 is required as major maintenance cost. So effective rate for 5 year = [(1 + 6%) ^ 5] - 1 = 1.3382 - 1 = 0.3382 = 33.82%. Present Value of 5 year cost = $200,000 / 33.82% = $200,000 / 0.3382 = $591,366.06
Total Present Value cost = $2,800,000 + $333,333.33 + $591,366.06 = $3,724,699.39.
Annual Cost = $3,724,699.39 * 6% = $223,481.96.
Benefit / Cost = $180,000 / $223,481.96
Benefit / Cost = 0.805434138845032
Benefit / Cost = 0.81
So, conventional B/C ratio is 0.81.

1. Sales commission per unit sold is:
= $16.
The Contribution margin per unit is:
= $184.
2. Break-even units are:
= 3,350 units
Income Statement for 3,350 units:
Sales revenue $1,072,000 ($320 * 3,350)
Variable cost of goods sold 455,600 ($136 * 3,350)
Contribution margin $616,400 ($184 * 3,350)
Fixed costs:
Factory overhead $500,000
Selling and administrative 116,400
Total fixed costs $616,400
Net operating income $0
3. Units to sell to achieve income of $333,408 are:
= 5,162 units
4. The number of units needed would decrease.
The number of units needed for the new target operating income is:
= 5,100 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Planned sales unit for the next year = 16,000
Sales price per unit = $320
Product costs:
Direct materials $68
Direct labor $40
Variable overhead $12
Total fixed factory overhead $500,000
Variable selling expense = $16 ($320 * 5%)
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $116,400
Total variable costs per unit = $136
Contribution margin per unit = $184 ($320 - $136)
Total fixed costs = $616,400 ($500,000 + $116,400)
To break-even, units to sell = $616,400/$184 = 3,350 units
Units to sell to achieve a profit target of $333,408:
= $616,400+ $333,408/$184
= 5,162 units
Units to sell to achieve a profit target of $333,408:
= $616,400+ $322,000/$184
= 5,100 units
Cunningham Industries reported actual sales of $2,000,000, and fixed costs of $510,000. The contribution margin ratio is 30%.
Compute the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual sales= $2,000,000
Fixed costs= $510,000
Contribution margin ratio= 0.3
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in sales dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 510,000 / 0.3
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,700,000
Now, the margin of safety:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 2,000,000 - 1,700,000
Margin of safety= $300,000
Finally, the margin of safety ratio:
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 300,000 / 2,000,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.15 = 15%

If demand is not uniform and constant, then stockout risks can be controlled by: increasing the EOQ. spreading annual demand over more frequent, but smaller, orders. raising the selling price to reduce demand. adding safety stock. reducing the reorder point.
Answer: Adding safety stock
Explanation:
A stockout is when the orders of the customer for a particular product is more than the amount of inventory that is kept on hand and this leads to lost sales, and a negative impact on the long-term relationship with the customer.
Since the demand is not uniform and constant, then stockout risks can be controlled by adding safety stock. The safety stock is asimply the additional quantity of an item which is held in the inventory in order to help to reduce stockout risk.
Zooey is a single mother of two young children whose husband died in a tragic car accident. She earns $20,000 per year working as a cashier at a grocery store. The government uses a negative income tax system in which Taxes owed = (1/4 of income) - $15,000.
How much does Zooey owe or receive from the government?
a. She owes $5,000
b. She receives $10,000.
c. She owes $10,000.
d. She receives $15,000.
Answer:
b. She receives $10,000
Explanation:
Taxes owed = (1/4 of income) - $15,000.
Taxes owed = (1/4 x 20,000) - $15,000.
= 5,000 - 15,000 => -10,000
Hence, she receives $10,000 from the government.
A negative income tax is a system where people earning below a certain amount receive supplemental pay from the government instead of paying taxes to the government.

Daphne Inc., a steel manufacturing company, is planning to buy a new plant at $1,090,000. The life of the plant is estimated to be 5 years and has cash flows of $109,000, $218,000, $327,000, $436,000, and $545,000. Calculate the payback period for the new plant.
a. 5 years
b. 2 years
c. 4 years
d. 3 years
Answer:
The payback period is exactly 4 years.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:

If the annual interest rate printed on the face of a bond is 20 percent, the face value of the bond is $1,000, and you purchase the bond for $1,250, what is the current yield on the bond
Answer: 16%
Explanation:
Given the details in the above question, you can calculate the yield of a bond using the following formula:
= Par value of bond * Coupon rate/ Current price of bond
= 1,000 * 20% / 1,250
= 1,000 * 0.00016
= 0.16
= 16%
This makes sense because the bond is selling at a price above the face value of $1,000 which can only mean that the coupon rate is higher than the yield.
