Answer:

Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.

Explanation:

According to the shut down rule, at the profit-maximizing positive level of output, a business in a competitive market should continue to operate in the short-term if the price equals to or is greater than the average variable cost, but should shut down in the long term if the price is less than or equal to total cost. Here,

price = $8.10

avg variable cost = $8.00

avg total cost = $8.25

Mrs.Smith should continue to operate the business in the short run but shut down in the long run.

Answer:

Short-run continue to operate Long turn. decreases cost or leave the market

Explanation:

Mrs Smith will shut-down the business if it cannot cover their variable cost given the current selling price ( This means, given Mr Smith cost structure it cost more to produce it that than to purchased it)

gross profit ( check if profitable in the long-run)

sales price $8.10 - $8.25 total variable cost= -0.15 producing a unit in the current cost structe generates losses for 15 cent in the bottom line

contibution ratio (check for wheather the product is profitable or not in the short run)

sales price $ 8.10 - $ 8.00 variable cost = $0.10 contribution

As the product generates a contribution their volume makes the bottom of the line better If we don't produce it we are going to decrease our losses even more.

<em><u>We have to produce and improve our situation by some of these measurements:</u></em>

  • decrease our variable cost (anytime)
  • decrease our fixed cost (in the long turn as currently are fixed)
  • increase selling price if possible

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $1,430,600

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $3,750,000 (250,000 hours at $15/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,550,000 for the current period.

The records show that there had been 230,000 hours of direct labor.

Using direct labor hours as a base.

Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated manfacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate= 1555000/250000= $6.22 per hour

Allocated overhead= Predetermined overhead rate*actual hours= 6.22* 230000= $1,430,600

The income statement of Dolan Corporation for 2012 included the following items:
torisob [31]

Answer:

C) $16,000.

Explanation:

cash paid for insurance premiums = total insurance expense + ending balance of prepaid insurance - beginning balance of prepaid insurance

cash paid for insurance premiums = $15,200 + $3,000 - $2,200 = $16,000

Generally when you purchase an insurance policy you can either pay every month or pay for several months in advance and get a discount. When you pay for several months in advance, you must debit prepaid insurance. Then as time passes, you must accrue insurance expense. For e.g. you pay $2,400 today for a 1 year insurance premium, and at the end of the month you will accrue $200 of insurance expense. But your cash payment was made today.

9 . Implied interest rate and period Consider the case of the following annuities, and the need to compute either their expected
vodomira [7]

Answer:

IRR 6% for Jabob

His friend will need 12 years saving cash to obtain their collegue funds.

Explanation:

We will solve for the rate being the annuity of 3 payment of 800

and the present value 2,138.41

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

C 800

time 3

PV 2,138.41

rate ?

800 \times \frac{1-(1+x)^{-3} }{x} = 2,138.41\\  

To solve we can use excel, a financial calculator or trial and error

For excel we will do the following:

write the list of cash through the loan life:

-2,138.41

+800

+800

+800

then we write in the empy cell

=IRR(

select the values and press enter

This will give the IRR which is 6%

For the second assignment:

we need to solve for time:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

C    3,800

time            n  

rate            0.06

PV $31,897

3800 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-n} }{0.06} = 31,897\\  

 We work out the formula:

(1+0.06)^{-n} = \frac{31,897\times 0.06}{3,800}

Now we solve the right side and apply logarithmic properties

-n = \frac{log0.503636842&#10;}{log1.06}

-n = -11.77128325

n = 11.77

It will take 12 years to obtain their target amount

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The firm's cost of preferred stock is  9.10%

Explanation:

The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)

The dividend per year is $8

The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)

where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%

adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88  

Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100  = 9.10%
