Smashed pumpkins co. Paid $200 in dividends and $624 in interest over the past year. The company increased retained earnings by

Maru [420]

Dividends that were paid last year = $200

Retained earnings = $522

Net Income = Retained earnings + Dividends paid = 200+522 =722

Tax rate was 38%.

Earnings before tax (EBT) = Net income/ (1-tax rate) =722/(1-0.38) = 1,164.52

Interest expense= 624

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = EBT + interest expense = 1,164.52 + 624 = 1,788.52

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = 1,788.52

Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit. Determine the formula used to calculate the selling price.

dezoksy [38]

Answer: $40

Explanation:

Selling price can be calculated through the contribution margin equation;

Contribution margin = (Selling Price - Variable cost) / Selling Price

Contribution margin = Fixed costs/break-even point

= 660,000/1,100,000

= 60%

60% = (Selling Price - 16) / Selling Price

Selling price * 60% = Selling price - 16

16 = Selling price - (0.6 * selling price)

16 = Selling price * 40%

16/40% = Selling price

Selling price = $40

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": are processes that are specialized for relatively few products or customer groups.

Explanation:

Product-focused processes are those that follow a market segmentation. Companies decide to what sector of the market they will drive their efforts towards and specializes in the manufacturing of a determined good.

Production tends to involve high volumes and low variety process but provides manufacturers relatively high facility utilization. Examples of product-focused processes are the production of light bulbs or bolts.

Toy Town is considering a new toy that will cost $49,100 in startup costs. The toy is expected to produce cash flows of $47,500

Tasya [4]

Answer:

NPV with a 14.9% discount rate: 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

IRR = 26.65%

Explanation:

First we calculate for the NPV using the given discount rate of 14.9%

We will calculate the present value of each year cash inflow:

$\frac{inflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Year 1 cash inflow: 47,500.00

time 1.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{47500}{(1 + 0.149)^{1} } = PV$

PV 41,340.30

Year 2 cash inflow: 18,600.00

time 2.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{18600}{(1 + 0.149)^{2} } = PV$

PV 14,088.76

Then, we add them and subtract the investment to get NPV

NPV = 14,088.76 + 41,340.3 - 49,100 = 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

Now for the IRR

That is the rate at which NPV equals zero we can solve for this using the quadratic equation as there are only two cash flow:

Year 1 will discount at (1+IRR)

Year 2 will be discount at (1+IRR )^2

So we can express and recreate the quadratic formula:

18,600 X^2 + 47,500 X - 49,500 = 0

A = 18,600

B = 47,500

C = -49,100

$x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}\\x_2 = \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}$

We can solve and get:

x1 = 0.78957

x2 = -3.3433

We take the positive value.

and now solve for IRR

$\frac{1}{1+ IRR} = 0.78957\\IRR = \frac{1}{0.78957} -1$

IRR = 0,2665121 = 26.65%

This will be the IRR for the project.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

By choosing to produce one pound of butter, Alpha is forgoing the opportunity to produce one more pound of cheese

Opportunity cost = 30/15 = 2
