A member in a cartel can earn more profits byA) charging a slightly lower price and raising production.B) producing less than th

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option A) charging slightly lower price and raising production .

Explanation:

A cartel can be defined as a group of firms , that join forces together to decide what level of output should be produced and at what prices they should be sold at. A cartel generally forms in oligopoly market where there are few firms in the market and they all have significant share in the market.

Reason why firms join forces together is because they want to have more dominant position in the market and increase the market power. So these type of cartels forms a monopoly n the market and earn high profits. But there are always chance of firms cheating each other in market, by either increasing the production or decreasing the price by a small percent, which will allow them to earn more profits.

Selected information taken from the accounting records of Vigor Company follows:

MariettaO [177]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But the following calculations must be done

Account receivable turnover = Net sales ÷ average account receivable

5 = Net sales ÷ ($900,000 + $1,000,000) ÷ 3

5 = Net sales ÷ $950,000

Now the net sales is

= $950,000 × 5

= $4,750,000

And,

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ average of account receivable

4 = Cost of goods sold ÷ ($1,100,000 + $1,200,000) ÷ 3

4 = Cost of goods sold ÷ $1,150,000

Cost of goods sold

= $1,150,000 × 4

= $4,600,000

Now the gross profit is

a. The gross profit is

= Sales - cost of goods sold

= $4,750,000 - $4,600,000

= $150,000

2. The days sales outstanding in both the cases are as follows:

DSO in inventory

= 360 ÷ 4

= 90 days

And, DSO in account receivable

= 360 ÷ 5

= 72 days

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

An entrepreneur purchased an existing bicycle shop that had between $120,000 and $150,000 worth of sales annually for the past t

stepan [7]

Answer:

Forecasted sales: 25% maximum reduction.

Recommendations: try new ways to increase sales during the months left, or reduce its own cost.

Explanation:

If sales usually increase between March 1 and June 30, and this period accounts for 50% of annual revenue, if revenue is proportional to sales, a reduction in sales will reduce revenues.
Between March 1 and June 30 there are 4 months.
If sales usually pick up in March and this year they were low until the beggining of May, it means that only 2 of the 4 most productive months were higly productive.
If 50% of sales are concentrated in this 4 months, and this year 2 of the 4 months were not really productive, a maximum 25% of sales (and hence of revenues) may have lost.
Therefore, revenues may lower by 25% this year.
To avoid losses, it is advisable to try new ways to increase sales during the months left, that can consist on doing some advertisement and promotions (related to health care linked to exersice for example), that helps increasing sales in the months left, to compensate the looses of the 2 months. If sales cannot be increased, it is advisable to reduce cost to avoid further looses.
