Answer:
Company should continue with old machine (Alternative 1)
Explanation:
Preparation of a differential analysis dated April 11 on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2)
DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS
Continue with old machine(Alternative 1) ; Replace with old machine(Alternative 2); Differential effect on income
REVENUES
Proceeds from sale of machine
$0 $50500 $50500
COSTS
Purchase price $0 -$75000 -$75000
Direct labor -$56000 -$37000 19000
(11200*5 = -56000)
(7400*5 = -37000)
Income (loss) -$56000 -$61500 -$5500
Based on the above differential analysis the Company should continue with OLD MACHINE (Alternative 1)
Answer:
Price of bond is = $ 1057
Explanation:
As we know that;
Price of bond = C * [1-(1+r)∧-n] / r + F / (1+r)∧n
where C = periodic coupon payment = 1000 * 6%= 60
F = Face value of bond = 1000
r = yield to maturity = 5% = 0.05
n = number of periods till maturity = 7 years
Putting values;
= 60 * [ 1- (1+ 0.05)∧-7 ]/ 0.05 + 1000 / (1+0.05)∧7
= 60 * (0.2893 / 0.05) + 710
= 60 * 5.786 + 710
= 347.16 +710
= 1057
Answer:
a. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices at cost plus profit at 100% profit markup is:
= $20.
b. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using competitive pricing is:
= $22.50 (average of competitors' prices)
c. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using penetration pricing is:
= $20 (lowest market price)
d. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using price skimming is:
= $25.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of producing a new toy = $10
Competitors' prices are:
Product A – $25
Product B – $20
Product C – $23
Product D– $22
Total = $90
Average price = $22.50 ($90/4)
Cost = $10
Markup 10 ($10 * 100%)
Price = $20
b) An important consideration in the pricing of products is customers' and competitors' reactions to the firm's selling price. The purpose of considering customers is to ensure that enough demand is generated to cover production cost and make profits. Competitors can wage price wars to discourage new entrants into their markets. Many pricing methods are in use, depending on the prevailing market realities.
