Answer:
Based on the given information related to costs for each of the options, the crossover point for Tim = 6,000 room nights (round your response to the nearest whole number). If the number of room nights is less than the crossover point, then OUTSOURCING (Duffy's Maid Service) is the best option available to Tim. Based on the given room nights that Tim expects to rent (18, 250), the best option is to keep doing the service INSOURCING (doing it himself).
Explanation:
Currently, before outsourcing, Tim's total cost = $228,125 + $61,000 = $289,125. On average, he spends $15.84247 per room.
The Duffy's Maid Service offer would represent a total cost of $337,625 + $25,000 = $362,625 for the same occupation level.
the crossover point for Tim:
12.5x + 61,000 = 18.5x + 25,000
36,000 = 6x
x = 6,000 room nights
(6,000 x 12.50) + 61,000 = (6,000 x 18.50) + 25,000 = $136,000

John's Repair Shop has a monthly target operating income of $30,000. Variable expenses are 40% of sales, and monthly fixed expenses are $7,500. Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. Compute the monthly margin of safety in dollars if the shop achieves its income goal. Begin by identifying the formula to compute the margin of safety. Target sales in dollars - Breakeven sales in dollars = Margin of safety in dollars (Round intermediate calculations up to the nearest whole dollar and your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) The margin of safety is .
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
To calculate the margin of safety we need to calculate the break-even sales revenue first after calculating break-even sales revenue we will deduct that from the total sales revenue.
Total Sales Revenue = $62,500
Break-Even Sales Revenue = $12,500
Margin of Safety in Dollars = $50,000
Working
Target Income $30000
Fixed expenses $7500
Contribution margin $37500
If Variable cost 40% of the sale Contribution margin will be 60% of the sale
Total target Sales Revenue [37500 / 60%] = $62500
Fixed expenses $7500
Contribution margin ratio 60%
Break-Even Sale [7500/60%] $12500

Suppose that Clancy, an economist from a university in Arizona, and Eileen, an economist from a public television program, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Eileen: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain an improvement in living standards. Clancy: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards. Eileen: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to . Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
Answer:
1. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to .
scientific judgments.
2. Two economists chosen at random most likely are likely to agree on:
Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.
Explanation:
Economists will disagree with each other regarding the appropriate size of the government, the power of trade unions, the adverse effects of unemployment and inflation, the equitable distribution of income, and whether a policy of tax cut is desirable or not. When economists disagree due to differences in scientific judgments, they disagree about a factual matter: the type of tax policy that would lower the budget deficit. In contrast, disagreements due to the differences in values reflect differing assessments on fairness or equity.
NU YU announced today that it will begin paying annual dividends. The first dividend will be paid next year in the amount of $.59 a share. The following dividends will be $.64, $.79, and $1.09 a share annually for the following three years, respectively. After that, dividends are projected to increase by 3.9 percent per year. How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 13 percent? Multiple Choice $9.87 $12.45 $2.47 $13.04 $12.93
Answer:
$9.87
Explanation:
The first step is to find the present value of the dividend in the first stage
Present value can be found using a financial calculator
D1 = $.59
D2 = $.64
D3 = $.79
D4 = $1.09
I = 13%
Present value = $2.24
value in the stage of indefinite growth = $1.09(1.039) / (0.13 - 0.039) = 1.132510 / 0.091 = 12.45
Present vale of the stage of indefinite growth = 12.45 / 1.13^4 = 7.64
$7.64 + $2.24 = $9.87

On January 1, 2016, Phoenix Co. acquired 100 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Sedona Inc. for $784,000 cash. At January 1, 2016, Sedona’s net assets had a total carrying amount of $548,800. Equipment (eight-year remaining life) was undervalued on Sedona’s financial records by $95,000. Any remaining excess fair over book value was attributed to a customer list developed by Sedona (four-year remaining life), but not recorded on its books. Phoenix applies the equity method to account for its investment in Sedona. Each year since the acquisition, Sedona has declared a $34,000 dividend. Sedona recorded net income of $113,000 in 2016 and $124,100 in 2017.
Selected account balances from the two companies’ individual records were as follows:
Phoenix Sedona
2018 Revenues $ 648,000 $ 335,000
2018 Expenses 412,000 234,000
2018 Income from Sedona 54,075
Retained earnings 12/31/18 347,075 236,500
What is consolidated net income for Phoenix and Sedona for 2018?
What is Phoenix’s consolidated retained earnings balance at December 31, 2018?
On its December 31, 2018, consolidated balance sheet, what amount should Phoenix report for Sedona’s customer list?
Answer:
a) Consolidated net income for Phoenix and Sedona for 2018
Phoenix revenues $648,000
-Phoenix expenses ($412,000)
Phoenix Net Income $236,000
2018 Income from Sedona $54,075
Consolidated net income for $290,075
Phoenix and Sedona for 2018
b) Phoenix’s consolidated retained earnings balance at December 31, 2018
Phoenix’s consolidated retained earnings balance at December 31, 2018 = $347,075.00 (same as Phoenix because of equity method use)
c) What amount should Phoenix report for Sedona’s customer list?
Consideration transferred at fair value $784,000
Book value acquired ($548,800)
Excess fair over book value $235,200
To Equipment $95,000
To customer list (4 year life) $140,200
Three years since acquisition of customer list = $140,200/4 years = $35,050. Hence, Phoenix report $35,050 as Sedona’s customer list.
Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT? a. Sunk costs are the costs associated with "the road not taken". They represent the alternative cost of an asset if that asset were not already owned by the firm; therefore, these costs should be included in the capital budgeting analysis. b. Opportunity costs and sunk costs are tricky when analyzing capital budgeting projects. In summary, for a correct capital budgeting analysis, opportunity costs must be included in the analysis while sunk costs should be ignored—the money is gone whether the project is undertaken or not. c. Sunk costs are cash outlays a company has made in the past, and they can't be recovered whether the new project goes forward or not. Thus, you don't include these costs in the project's capital budgeting analysis. d. An opportunity cost represents the best return a company could get on an asset it already owns. It is the cost of losing out on something if you greenlight the project, so you want to include this cost in the capital budgeting analysis. e. While an opportunity cost is not an actual cash outlay, this cost must be added to the project's costs when you calculate its net present value.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Sunk cost is cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. It should not be considered in making future decisions.
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Opportunity costs are costs associated with "the road not taken".
An example of opportunity cost : you quit your job where you ern $50,000 to start your business. the opportunity cost of starting your business is $50,000 - your salary that you would be forgoing to start your business
Compare the monthly payments and total loan costs for the following pairs of loan options. Assume that both loans are fixed rate and have the same closing costs. You need a $ loan. Option 1: a 30-year loan at an APR of %. Option 2: a 15-year loan at an APR of %. Find the monthly payment for each option. The monthly payment for option 1 is $ nothing. The monthly payment for option 2 is $ nothing
Answer:
The numbers are missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
You need a $300,000 loan. Option 1: a 30-year loan at an APR of 6%. Option 2: a 15-year loan at an APR of 4.5%.
We can use the present value of an annuity formula to calculate monthly payments.
present value = monthly payment x PV annuity factor
monthly payment = present value / PV annuity factor
present value = $300,000
option 1: PV annuity factor, 0.5%, 360 periods = 166.79161
option 2: PV annuity factor, 0.375%, 180 periods = 130.7201
monthly payment option 1 = $300,000 / 166.79161 = $1,798.65
monthly payment option 2 = $300,000 / 130.7201 = $2,294.98

Answer:
By now competition is very intense and many companies use price promotion s to extensively win over competitors customers
Explanation:
There are five stages in the life cycle of any product. One of them is the maturity stage.
At this stage, competitors cause a reduction in profit due to price competition and firms are forced to spend a lot of money on advertising to sustain brand loyalty.
Some companies that can not survive the competition may be forced to leave the market.

Less Expenses :
Selling and administrative expenses ($269,000)
Net Profit Before tax $116,000
Income tax expense ($25,000)
Net Income after tax $91,000
Explanation:
Calculation of Actual Overheads Incurred
Indirect labor $150,000
Property taxes on factory $90,000
Depreciation on factory building $125,000
Indirect material used $45,000
Depreciation on factory equipment $60,000
Insurance on factory and equipment $40,000
Utilities for factory $70,000
Actual Overheads Incurred $580,000
Now,
Where Applied Overheads is $577,500 and Actual Overheads is $580,000, we have an underapplied situation of $2,500 ($580,000 - $577,500).
This under-applied amount is closed off to the cost of goods sold.
1. Computation of the cost of goods manufactured for 20x2
Direct Materials = Beginning Raw-material Inventory + Purchases of raw material - Closing Raw-material inventory - Indirect material used
Direct Materials = $89,000 + $731,000 - $59,000 - $45,000
Direct Materials = $716,000
Particulars Amount
Beginning Work In Process Inventory $0
Add: Direct Materials $716,000
Add: Direct Labor $474,000
Add: Applied manufacturing overhead $577,500
Less: Ending Work In Process Inventory ($40,000)
Cost of goods manufactured $1,727,500
2 .Computation of the cost of goods sold for 20x2
Actual Overheads Incurred = Indirect labor + Property taxes on factory + Depreciation on factory building + Indirect material used + Depreciation on factory equipment + Insurance on factory and equipment + Utilities for factory
Actual Overheads Incurred = $150,000 + $90,000 + $125,000 + $45,000 + $60,000 + $40,000 + $70,000
Actual Overheads Incurred = $580,000
Here, since the Applied Overheads is $577,500 and the Actual Overheads is $580,000, then, we have an under-applied value of $2,500 ($580,000 - $577,500)
Particulars Amount
Beginning Finished goods inventory $35,000
Add: Cost of goods manufactured $1,727,500
Less: Ending Finished goods inventory ($40,000)
Cost of Goods Sold $1,722,500
Adjustment of Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold $1,722,500
Less: Under-applied Overheads ($2,500)
Adjusted Cost of Goods Sold $1,720,000
3. Computation of the income statement for 20x2.

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing table to your question
Illinois Furniture, Inc., produces all types of office furniture. The "Executive Secretary" is a chair that has been designed using ergonomics to provide comfort during long work hours. The chair sells for $130. There are 480 minutes available during the day, and the average daily demand has been 50 chairs. There are eight tasks
answer : a) 9.6 minutes
b) 5 work stations
c) choose initial task and task with maximum task time
d) 21 minutes
Explanation:
A) cycle time for the production of a chair
cycle time = (production time available per day ) / ( unit demand per day )
= 480 minutes / 50 chairs
= 9.6 minutes ≈ 10 minutes
B) theoretical minimum number of workstations
= Total task / cycle time
where total task = (4 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 6 ) = 49 minutes
cycle time = 9.6 minutes
hence theoretical minimum number of workstations = 49 / 9.6 = 5.1
≈ 5 workstations
C ) Assignment of tasks to workstations
attached below
you will choose the initial/first task and also the task with maximum tax time
D) For the process the total idle time per cycle
total idle time = summation of all idle times for the 8 tasks = 21 minutes
Task A, C = 0 minutes
Task B = 3 minutes
Task E = 4 MINUTES
Task F = 3
Task G = 2
Task H = 4
Task D = 5

Suppose the nation of Bitcoinia has decided to convert its national lottery to use Bitcoin. A trusted scratch-off ticket printing factory exists and will not keep records of any values printed. Bitcoinia proposes a simple design: a weekly run of tickets is printed with an address holding the jackpot on each ticket. This allows everybody to verify the jackpot exists.
The winning ticket contains the correct private key under the scratch material.
7.1. What might happen if the winner finds the ticket on Monday and immediately claims the jackpot? Can you modify your design to ensure this won’t be an issue?
7.2. Some tickets inevitably get lost or destroyed. So you’d like to modify the design to roll forward any unclaimed jackpot from Week n to the winner in Week n+1 .
Can you propose a design that works, without letting the lottery administrators embezzle funds? Also make sure that the Week n winner can’t simply wait until the beginning of Week n+1 to attempt to double their winnings.
Answer and Explanation:
1.Since we only want the winnings claimed by the end if the week, we would have to make sure the keys on the tickets are not activated until the end of the week, also verification of winnings occur by end of the week. This way someone cannot immediately unlock their bitcoin on a Monday but may just scratch the ticket.
2. Bitcoin wallets cannot be unlocked without the private key and so there is no other option when ticket is lost as bitcoin cannot be retrieved. Therefore it is important that tickets are secured properly during production and after when issued to contestants
The tickets are available to anybody. However, scratching should be permitted on the last day of the week, which is Saturday.
If any tickets are lost or destroyed, there is no method to recover the bitcoin due to the current bitcoin nature.
Bitcoin and ticket:The key to release the bitcoin should be date-protected and triggered on the week's last working day. So, even if someone buys a ticket on Monday and attempts to unlock it right away, he won't be able to till the end of the week. Fairness can be achieved in this manner.
The only method to avoid this is to protect the printing so that it cannot be stolen or destroyed during the ticket making process.

What is a rational economic decision?
A)
One in which there are no opportunity costs.
One in which marginal benefits exceed marginal costs.
One in which marginal costs exceed marginal benefits.
D)
One in which the benefits are unknown, but costs are low.
Answer:
One in which marginal benefits exceed marginal costs.
Explanation:
A ration decision implies a sensible or reasonable decision. A rational economic decision has undergone the process of comparing costs and benefits to determine the best option. A rational decision benefits outweigh or are equal to its costs.
Marginal benefit is the additional gain associated with the production or sale of one more unit, while the marginal cost is the expense of making or selling an extra product. A ration decision will have marginal benefit exceed or equal to marginal cost.
A firm is considering purchasing two assets. Asset A will have a useful life of 15 years and cost $3 million; it will have installation costs of $400,000 but no salvage or residual value. Asset B will have a useful life of 6 years and cost $1.3 million; it will have installation costs of $180,000 and a salvage or residual value of $300,000. Which asset will have a greater annual straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Asset A provides a greater annual depreciation.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Asset A:
Useful life= 15 years
Purchase price= 3,000,000 + 400,000= 3,400,000
Salvage value= 0
Asset B:
Useful life= 6 years
Purchase price= 1,300,000 + 180,000= 1,480,000
Salvage value= 300,000
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Asset A:
Annual depreciation= 3,400,000/15= $226,666.67
Asset B:
Annual depreciation= (1,480,000 - 300,000) / 6
Annual depreciation= $196,666.67
Asset A provides a greater annual depreciation.

A share of stock with a beta of 0.82 now sells for $58. Investors expect the stock to pay a year-end dividend of $2. The T-bill rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 8%. a. Suppose investors believe the stock will sell for $60 at year-end. Calculate the opportunity cost of capital. Is the stock a good or bad buy? What will investors do? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your opportunity cost of capital calculation as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. At what price will the stock reach an "equilibrium" at which it is perceived as fairly priced today? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
The opportunity cost of the capital here is given as 11. 56%
The expected return is 6.90%
The stock is a bad buy
The stock price is 55.58
How to solve for the opportunity cost of the stockThe formula for the opportunity cost of stock is given as:
risk free rate + beta x the risk premium
The risk free rate = 0.05
beta = 0.82
The risk premum = 0.08
Hence the opportunity cost is given as: 0.05 + 0.82 x 0.08
= 0.1156
=11.56%
The expected return is given as
60 + 2 - 58 / 58
= 0.069
= 6.9%
The expected return can be seen to be less than this opportunity cost therefore what is to happen would be for the investors not to invest because this is a bad buy.
b. The stock price = 60 * 2 / 1.1156
= 55.58
