Answer: <em>$4. 71 hamburger and $6.29 French fries. </em>

Explanation:

Total spendable income of Antonio = $11.00  

1 hamburger = $1.50

1 order of French fries = $1.00

Utility maximization function: U(x1, x2) = x1x2 i.e. 1 hamburger and 2 orders of French fries

Using the Utility maximization function: U(x1, x2) = $1.50 + $2.00

                                                                                      = $3.50 per lunch  

Therefore the customer will purchase hamburger worth of $(1.50 x 11.00/3.50) = $4. 71

And French fries orders worth of $(2.00 x 11.00/3.50) = $6.29

<em>Antonio will maximize his satisfaction by purchasing $4. 71 hamburger and $6.29 French fries. </em>

High Mountain Lumber (HML) has normal budgeted overhead costs of $115,150 and a normal capacity of 35,000 direct labor hours for
Furkat [3]

Answer:

                                                                                                 $

Standard total overhead cost (0.5 hr x 25,000 x $3.29) 41,125

Less: Actual total overhead cost ($21,000 + $18,000)    39,000

Total overhead variance                                                      2,125(F)

                                           

Standard overhead application rate

= <u>Budgeted overhead</u>

  Budgeted direct labour hours

= <u>$115,150</u>

   35,000 hours

= $3.29 per direct labour hour

Explanation:

Total overhead variance is the difference between standard total overhead cost and actual total overhead cost. Standard total overhead cost is the product of standard hours per unit, standard overhead application rate and actual output produced. Actual total overhead cost is the aggregate of actual variable overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost. Standard overhead application rate is the ratio of budgeted overhead to budgeted direct labour hours (normal capacity).

Problem 16-17 Firm Value [LO2] Change Corporation expects an EBIT of $25,000 every year forever. The company currently has no de
PolarNik [594]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The current value of the company is

As it is mentioned that the company has no debt that means it is unlevered firm that is equivalent to unlevered value of the company  

Unlevered value of the firm =  Vu  

Vu = EBIT ×  (1 - tax rate ) ÷ unlevered Cost of Equity

= EBIT × (1 - tax rate ) ÷ R0  

= $25,000  ×  (1 -  0.22 ) ÷ 12%  

= $162,500  

b-1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of unlevered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

where,  

Debt = borrowing = 50% × unlevered value of company  

Debt = borrowing = 50% x Vu  

So,

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

VL = $162,500 + ($162,500 × 50%) × 22%  

= $162,500 + $17,875  

= $180,375  

b-2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of unlevered value

Levered value of the firm VL  

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

Debt = borrowing = 100% × unlevered value of company  

Debt = borrowing = 100% × Vu

So,    

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

= $162,500 + ($162,500 × 100%) × 22%  

= $162,500 + 35,750  

= $198,250  

C.1.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 50% of the levered value

VL = Vu + Borrowing × tax rate  

= Vu + (VL × 50%) × tax rate  

VL = Vu + (VL × 50%) × 22%  

VL = Vu + 0.11 VL  

VL - 0.11 VL = 162,500  

0.89 VL = 162,500  

VL= 182,584.27  

C.2.

The computation of the value of the firm in the case when the value of the firm is equivalent to 100% of the levered value  

Levered value of the firm VL  

VL = Vu + Borrowing x tax rate  

VL = Vu + (VL × 100%) × tax rate  

= Vu + (VL × 100%) × 22%  

= Vu + 0.22 VL  

VL - 0.22 VL = 162,500  

0.78 VL = 162,500  

VL= $208,333.33
