Treasury stock, also known as treasury stock or repurchased stock, refers to shares issued prior to being repurchased by shareholders through the issuing company. As a result, the total number of shares outstanding on the open market is reduced.

Companies may use their shares to pay for investments in or acquisitions of competitors. These stocks may also be reissued to existing shareholders to reduce dilution from employee incentive compensation plans.

Stocks consist of shares in which the ownership of a company or business has been divided. One share represents a partial ownership interest in the company over the total number of shares.

NeX [460]

Answer:

If the special offer is accepted, the net operating income will decrease in $120,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total variable cost= $2,200,000

Fixed cost= $1,100,000

Based on management’s projections for next year, 950,000 calculators will be sold at the regular price of $15.00 each. A special order has been received for 230,000 calculators to be sold at a 60% discount off the regular price.

Because the company can't provide the 950,000 units and the 230,000 special offer, the offer will cannibalize sales from the 950,00 units.

Special offer sale price= 15*0.4= $6

Unitary variable cost= 2,200,000/1,100,000= $2 per unit

<u>First, we will calculate the net income without the special offer</u>:

Sales= 950,000*15= 14,250,000

Total variable cost= 950,000*2= (1,900,000)

Contribution margin= 12,350,000

Fixed costs= (1,100,000)

Net operating income= 11,250,000

<u>With the special offer:</u>

Sales= (230,000*6) + (870,000*15)= 14,430,000

Total variable cost= (2,200,000)

Contribution margin= 12,230,000

Fixed costs= (1,100,000)

Net operating income= $11,130,000

If the special offer is accepted, the net operating income will decrease in $120,000

= (($560 ÷ ($448 + $672)) × $672

= $336
