Answer:

It is more convenient to produce in house, so the  Best Bicycles makes the part, its operating income will be $140,000  

Explanation:

Given the information:

The cost of producing 43,000 parts is $140,000 :

  • fixed costs of $68,000
  • variable costs of $72,000

outside supplier for $3.80 per unit

avoid 30% of the fixed costs

As we know, the total costs if company bought is as following;

= Cost of production × Outside supplier per unit) + (Fixed cost × Remaining percentage)

= (43,000*$3.80 per unit)  + ($68,000*(100% - 30%))

= $163,400 + $47,600

= $211,000

=> the loss in income if the company decided to buy:

= the total costs if company bought - The cost of production

= $211,000 - $140,000

= $71,000

It is more convenient to produce in house, so the  Best Bicycles makes the part, its operating income will be $140,000

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$175,808

Explanation:

P=R (1-(1+i)^-n)/i

Where P=780,000*90%=$702,000

R=?

i=8%

N=5 years

By putting above values in formula, we get

P=R(1-(1+.08)^-5)/.08

702,000=R*3.993

R=702,000/3.993

R=$175,808

Suppose 6 months ago a Swiss investor bought a 6-month U.S. Treasury bill at a price of $9,708.74, with a maturity value of $10,
hoa [83]

Answer:

The annualized rate of return to the Swiss investor is -7.93%.

Explanation:

This is an instance of foreign currency bond.

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.420, purchase price of the bond is calculated as $9,708.74 x 1.420 = 13,786.4108 Swiss Francs

Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.324, maturity value is $10,000 x 1.324 = 13,240 Swiss Francs

Holding period is 6 months.

So, annualized rate of return is: (Maturity amount - Purchase price)/Purchase price x 12 / No of months

Annualized rate of return is: (13,240 - 13,786.4108)/13,786.4108 x 12/6 = -0.079268028.

Annualized rate of return is -7.93% approximately.

REY [17]

Answer:

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).

Explanation:

The company is currently selling 5,000 units per month at $150 per unit, and its total variable costs are $90 per unit.

Fixed expenses are $243,000 per month.

Current income statement:

sales revenue =                    $750,000

minus variable costs =         ($450,000)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($243,000)  </u>

net income =                           $57,000

If the company increases its advertising budget be $11,000 it should sell 180 more units per month, the new income statement would be:

sales revenue =                    $777,000

minus variable costs =         ($466,200)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($254,000)  </u>

net income =                           $56,800

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).
