Question:

The following information relates to next year's projected operating results of the Children's Division of Grunge Clothing Corporation:

Contribution margin.... 200,000

Fixed Expense.... 500,000

net operating loss..... (300,000)

If Children's Division is dropped, half of the fixed costs above can be eliminated. What will be the effect on Grunge's profit next year if Children's Division is dropped instead of being kept?

A) 50,000 increase

B) 250,000 increase

C)250,000 decrease

D) 550,000 increase

Answer:

Option A is correct

Increase in profit = $50,000

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making division, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.

It is noteworthy that only the fixed cost attributed to division can only be saved should the division be shut down.

The analysis is done as follows:

                                                                              $

Lost contribution                                           (200,000 )

Savings in fixed cost (1/2× 500,000)          <u> 250,000 </u>

Net savings                                                 <u>   50,000</u>

Increase in profit = $50,000

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

2.75 million

Explanation:

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank

Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits

Increase in value of money supply as a result of the purchase is determined by the money multiplier

Money multiplier = 1 / reserve requirement

1/0.05 = 20

increase in money supply = amount of open market purchase / reserve requirement

55  / 20 = 2.75 million

Sati [7]

Answer:

The price per share should be $22.5

Explanation:

The price earnings multiple or P/E tells us how much price the investors are willing to pay for $1 earnings of the company.

We first need to calculate the earnings per share of the company.

Earnings per share = Net Income / Number of outstanding common shares

Earnings per share = 1500000 / 1000000  =  $1.5 per share

Using the P/E for the industry, the price per share of Flintstone should be,

P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share

15 = Price per share / 1.5

15 * 1.5 = Price per share

Price per Share = $22.5

Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods
eimsori [14]

This is the full question:

At the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a cost of $40,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to be flow 1,200,000 the first year and 1,400,000 the second year.

1) Compute second-year (2017) depreciation expense using the following methods

a. Straight-line

b. Units-of-production

c. Double-declining-balance

2) Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods:

Answer:

Explanation:

1)a) Straight-line

Depreciable base = Cost of the Asset - Residual Value

                              = $40,000,000 - $5,000,000

                              = $35,000,000

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable base / years of useful life

                                                     = $35,000,000 / 8

                                                     = $4,375,000

The depreciation expense for the second year is = $4,375,000

                                                                                       

b) Units-of-production

Units of Production Rate = Depreciable Base / Units Over Useful Life

                                        = $35,000,000 / 5,000,000 miles

                                        = 7

Depreciation Expense = Units of Production Rate x Actual Units Produced

                                      = 7 x 1,400,000 miles in the second year

                                      = $9,800,000

c. Double-declining-balance

Double-declining balance = 2 x (Asset Cost - Residual Value ) / Useful Life of the Asset

                                           = 2 x ($40,000,000 - $5,000,000) / 8

                                           = $8,750,000

2) a) Straight-line Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the previous answer by two = $4,375,000 x 2

                                                                              = $8,750,000

2) b) Units-of-production Accumulated depreciation

First we find the depreciation expense for the first year using the same formula as above

= 7 x 1,200,000

= $8,400,000

Finally we simply add up depreciation expense for the two years

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

= $18,200,000

2) c) Double-declining-balance Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the first result by two = $8,750,000 x 2

                                                                    = $17,500,000

<span>These companies are able to reduce the inventories required to satisfy the demand of the retailers. With a JIT system, the company does not have to worry as much about waste product or overproducing, since the final item is being manufactured just before the deadline. This allows the company to run on a much tighter production schedule and lessens waste.</span>
