A monopolistic firm is characterized by a large number of buyers and sellers in the market producing differentiated products which are close substitutes, there are relatively easier entry and exit in the market.
In the given question, Teen Angle Hardware is looking for a niche or a slightly differentiated product to sell to teenagers. But is able to earn only a normal profit because there is a large number of firms in the market. And new firms can enter the market in the long run. So, this firm is an example of a monopolistic firm.
Answer:
$236,250
Explanation:
Next year sales = $2,500,000
Profit margin = 15% = Net profit/$2,500,000
Net profit = 15% × $2,500,000 = $375,000
Dividend = $375,000 × 35% = $131,250
Retained earning = $375,000 - $131,250 = $243,750
Asset increase = $480,000
External finance needed = Asset increase - Retained earning = $480,000 - $243,750 = $236,250
Therefore, the firm will have to seek $236,250 external financing.
The information that is being provided to the viewing public by the firm's income statement is a document reporting the cash inflows and outflows of the firm from activities that include operation, finance and investment for a certain period of time.
Answer:
since the special order does not affect current normal sales, its analysis should only consider incremental expenses, not regular expenses:
A) Income statement without the special order
total revenue = $68 x 80,100 = $5,446,800
- COGS = ($2,446,880)
- Direct materials $897,120
- Direct labor $608,760
- Overhead $941,000
gross profit = $2,999,920
- SG&A = ($1,022,000)
- Selling exp. $559,000
- Administrative exp. $463,000
net income = $1,977,920
B) incremental revenue from special order = 14,900 x $63 = $938,700
incremental costs:
- direct materials = ($897,120 / 80,100 units) x 17,900 = $200,480
- direct labor = ($608,760 / 80,100 units) x 17,900 = $136,040
- overhead = ($658,700 / 80,100 units) x 17,900 = $147,200
- selling expenses = [($335,400 / 80,100 units) x 17,900] + ($2.70 x 17,900) = $74,952 + $48,330 = $123,282
- administrative expenses = $940
- total incremental costs = $607,942
incremental gain from special order = $938,700 - $607,942 = $330,758
Income statement with the special order
total revenue = $6,385,500
- COGS = ($2,930,600)
- Direct materials $1,097,600
- Direct labor $744,800
- Overhead $1,088,200
gross profit = $3,454,900
- SG&A = ($1,146,222)
- Selling exp. $682,282
- Administrative exp. $463,940
net income = $2,308,678
Answer: –0.0130
Explanation:
Correlation given the variance and the standard deviation of the two returns can be calculated by;
Correlation coefficient = Covariance of returns on investment A and B / (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B).
Rearranging the formula, Covariance becomes;
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = Correlation coefficient * (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B)
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = -0.260 * 0.25 * 0.20
Covariance of returns on investment A and B = –0.0130
