Answer:
the accounting break-even level of annual sales is 300,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the accounting-break even level of annual sales is shown below"
= (Fixed cost + depreciation expense) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)
= ($3 million + ($12 million ÷ 4 years) ÷ ($30 - $10)
= $6 million ÷ $20
= 300,000 units
hence, the accounting break-even level of annual sales is 300,000 units
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Suppose the credit terms offered to your firm by its suppliers are 2/10, net 30 days. Your firm is not taking discounts, but is paying after 22 days instead of Day 30. You point out that the nominal cost of not taking the discount and paying on Day 30 is approximately 37%. But since your firm is neither taking discounts nor paying on the due date, what is the effective annual percentage cost (not the nominal cost) of its costly trade credit, using a 365-day year
Answer: 63.5%
Explanation:
Assuming 365 days, the effective annual percentage cost is;
= ( 1 + 2%/(100% - 2%) ) ^ ( 365 / (25 - 10 days) ) -1
= 1.634928727 - 1
= 0.6349
= 63.5%

Analysts look for red flags in financial statements that may signal financial trouble. Which of the following is a red flag that suggests that a company may be in trouble? A. a consistent movement in sales, merchandise inventory, and accounts receivable B. operating activities are a major source of cash flows C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row D. a reduction in the debt ratio
Answer:
C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row
Explanation:
A significant decrease in net income for several years in a row show that the firm is generating less revenue or its expenses are generally increasing at a rate greater than the sales. This may soon lead into a loss. A loss making firm will eventually have challenges in cashflow. So, this signals financial trouble.

Newton Manufacturing has 31,000 labor hours available for producing M and N. Consider the following information: Product M Product N Required labor time per unit (hours) 2 3 Maximum demand (units) 6,500 8,000 Contribution margin per unit $ 5 $ 5.70 Contribution margin per labor hour $ 2.50 $ 1.90 If Newton follows proper managerial accounting practices in terms of setting a production schedule, how much contribution margin would the company expect to generate
Answer:
total contribution margin = $68,500
Explanation:
31,000 hours of labor available
Product M Product N
Required labor time per unit (hours) 2 3
Maximum demand (units) 6,500 8,000
Contribution margin per unit $5 $5.70
Contribution margin per labor hour $2.50 $1.90
since the constraint here is the total number of labor hours, the company must first produce the product that generates the highest contribution margin per labor hour = product M.
total units produced of product M = 6,500
total labor hours required = 6,500 x 2 = 13,000
contribution margin product M = 13,000 x $2.50 = $32,500
remaining labor hours = 31,000 - 13,000 = 18,000
total units of product N produced = 18,000 / 6 = 6,000
contribution margin product N= 18,000 x $2 = $36,000
total contribution margin = $68,500
Diamond and Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 130 baseballs per hour to sewing 234 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.48 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $26 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $305,500, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $131,800, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,200 hours per year.

If Diamond and Turf has sufficient funds for only one of the machines and qualitative factors are equal between the two machines, in which machine should it invest?
Answer:
A) Sewing machine:
initial outlay = -$305,500
net cash flow per year = (234 baseballs per hour - 130 baseballs per hour) x 1,400 hours x $0.48 per baseball = $69,888
NPV = -$305,500 + ($69,888 x 4.968) = -$305,500 + $347,203.58 = $41,703.58
Packing machine:
initial outlay = -$131,800
net cash flow per year = 1,200 hours x $26 per hour = $31,200
NPV = -$131,800 + ($31,200 x 4.968) = -$131,800 + $155,001.60 = $23,201.60
B) PVI of sewing machine = $347,203.58 / $305,500 = 1.137
PVI of packing machine = $155,001.60 / $131,800 = 1.176
C) They should invest in the packing machine since its PVI is higher, meaning that it increases the company's value by a higher amount per dollar invested.

Foreign Division had a contribution margin ratio of 35% and its sales were $243,000. Net operating income for the Sraibn271 Corporation was $36,800 and traceable fixed expenses were $51,000.
(ID#19361)
What were Sraibn271 Corporation's common fixed expenses?
a) $131,450
b) $43,650
c) $51,000
d) $94,650
Answer: b) $43,650
Explanation:
Contribution margin of Domestic division + contribution margin of Foreign division - traceable fixed cost - common fixed cost = Net operating income for company
46,400 + (0.35 * 243,000) - 51,000 - Common = 36,800
80,450 - Common = 36,800
Common = 80,450 - 36,800

Why will the number of suppliers in the tourism industry decrease, and how will this consolidation of suppliers take place
Answer:
In the current negative economic climate, suppliers in the tourism industry are likely to consolidate because many small suppliers do not have enough revenue to continue operating, and in such situation, they can be easily absorbed by larger, more solvent competitors.
Besides, the industry had been consolidating in the years prior to the current crisis. For example, Airbnb, with its innovative business model and global reach, had made many small suppliers go out of business in several cities of the world.

g Machinery was purchased for $400000 on January 1, 2022. Freight charges amounted to $14000 and there was a cost of $36000 for building a foundation and installing the machinery. It is estimated that the machinery will have a $50000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year useful life. What is the amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2023 if the straight-line method of depreciation is used
Answer:
Accumulated depreciation at December 2023 = $200000
Explanation:
The cost of a fixed asset should be reported as the cost of buying the asset plus any cost incurred in bringing the asset in the location and condition necessary for its use as deemed by the management. Thus, the cost of machinery as reported will be,
Machinery Cost = 400000 + 14000 + 36000 = $450000
The straight line method charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset. The formula for depreciation under this method is,
Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life
Depreciation expense - 2022 = (450000 - 50000) / 4
Depreciation expense - 2022 = $100000
Depreciation expense - 2023 = (450000 - 50000) / 4
Depreciation expense - 2023 = $100000
Accumulated depreciation at December 2023 = 100000 + 100000 = $200000

According to the Kinked Demand Curve Model, If one firm operating in an oligopoly raises its price and other firms do not do so, A. the sales of the firm with the higher price will decline slightly. B. the egos of all the top executives will eventually lead to cooperation at that higher price. C. the sales of the firm that increased its price will decline sharply. D. the firm with the increased price will have its higher profits sustained through cooperation.
Answer:
C. the sales of the firm that increased its price will decline sharply.
Explanation:
A kinked demand curve is basically a demand curve that changes direction at an specific point (generally the equilibrium price). When you are dealing with oligopolies, generally competing firms will match price cuts but they will not follow if instead the price increases.
If only one of the oligopolistic competitors increases their price while the others remain stable, sales volume will decrease. Kinked models are based on the assumption that oligopolies will compete focusing on factors other than price.

The stock of Stock M has a beta of 1.48 and an expected return of 12.50 percent. The risk-free rate of return is 5 percent. What is the expected return on the market?
Answer:
10.07%
Explanation:
Calculation for the Expected return
Using this formula
Expected return =(Expected return-Risk-free rate)/Beta+Risk-free rate
Let plug in the formula
Expected return=(0.125 –0.05)/1.48 + 0.05
Expected return=0.075/1.48+0.05
Expected return=0.05068+0.05
Expected return=0.1007*100
Expected return=10.07%
Therefore the expected return on the market will be 10.07%
