Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Lorland

Zhangia

sandals

smoothies

Explanation:

A country should specialise goods for which it has a comparative advantage in its production.

A country should import goods for which it has no comparative advantage in its production.

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

Lorland

Opportunity cost in the production of one smoothie = 8/2 = 4

Opportunity cost in the production of one sandal = 2/8 = 0.25

Zhangia

Opportunity cost in the production of one smoothie = 5/1 = 5

Opportunity cost in the production of one sandal = 1/5 = 0.2

Zhangia has a comparative advantage inn the production of sandals and should specialise in the production of sandals while lorland has a comparative advantage in the production of smoothies specialise in the production of smoothies

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

a. Degree of operating leverage is 1.23; and Percentage increase in net income is 23.37%.

b. Therefore, this year's net operating income would be $636,000 if the sales manager's ideas are implemented.

Explanation:

a. Assume the president expects this year's sales to increase by 19%. Using the degree of operating leverage from last year, what percentage increase in net operating income will the company realize this year?

The degree of operating leverage (DOL) refers to a metric used to gauge the amount by which the operating income of a firm will change as a result of a change in its sales. DOL can be calculated as follows:

Degree of operating leverage = contribution margin / net income = 960,000 / 780,000 = 1.23

From the DOL, the percentage increase in net income can can be determined as follows:

Percentage increase in net income = Degree of operating leverage * Expected percentage increase in net income = 1.23 * 19% = 23.37%

b. If the sales manager is right, what would be this year's net operating income if his ideas are implemented?

Note: This required part b is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore presented as follows:

The sales manager is convinced that a 13% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $72,000 increase in advertising, would increase this year's unit sales by 25%. If the sales manager is right, what would be this year's net operating income if his ideas are implemented?

The answer to par b is now provided as follows:

Initial sales in unit = Initial sales / Initial selling price = $1,920,000 / $80 = 24,000 units

This year's sales in unit = Initial sales in unit * (100% + percentage increase in sales) = 24,000 * 125% = 30,000 units

This year's sales = This year's sales in unit * [Old selling price * (100% - expected percentage fall in selling price)] = 30,000 * [$80 * (100% - 13%)] = $2,088,000

This year's operating income can now be determined as follows:

Feather Friends, Inc.

Income Statement (Variable Costing)

For this year

Particulars Amount ($)

Sales 2,088,000

Variable expense (30,000 * $40) (1,200,000)

Contribution margin 888,000

Fixed expense (180,000 + 72,000) (252,000)

Net operating income  636,000 

Therefore, this year's net operating income would be $636,000 if the sales manager's ideas are implemented.

You purchase a bond with an clean price of $1,129. The bond has a coupon rate of 10 percent, and there are 4 months to the next

marta [7]

Answer:

The answer is "1145.66".

Explanation:

Using formula:

$\text{Dirty price = Clean price + accrued interest}\\\\$

$= 1,129 +100\times 0.5\times \frac{2}{6} \\\\= 1,129 +50\times \frac{2}{6} \\\\= 1,129 + \frac{100}{6} \\\\= \frac{6774+100}{6} \\\\= \frac{6874}{6} \\\\=1145.66$

OR

$=\$1,129+(10\% \ of\ 1000)\times \frac{2}{12}\\\\=\$1,129+(\frac{10}{100} \times \ 1000)\times \frac{2}{12}\\\\=\$1,129+(100)\times \frac{2}{12}\\\\=\$1,129+ \frac{200}{12}\\\\=\$1,129+ 16.666667\\\\=\$1,145.666667\\\\$
