Blowing Sand Company has just received a one-time offer to purchase 10,000 units of its Gusty model for a price of $22 each. The

Gusty model normally sells for $30 and costs $26 to produce ($17 in variable costs and $9 of fixed overhead). Because the offer came during a slow production month, Blowing Sand has enough excess capacity to accept the order.
Required:
a. Should Blowing Sand accept the special order?
b. Calculate the increase or decrease in short-term profit from accepting the special order.

Answer:

a. Accept the order

b. Increase in short-term profit of $50,000

Explanation:

<em>Note : Blowing Sand has "enough excess capacity" this means that fixed cost will be the same in the range or they will be ocurred whether or not the special order is accepted.</em>

Therefore fixed costs are Irrelevant for this decision.

<u>Incremental Costs and Revenues - accept the special order</u>

Sales ( 10,000 units × $22 each)                               $220,000

<em>Less</em> Variable Costs ( 10,000 units × $17each)         ($170,000)

Net Income                                                                  $50,000

The special order will result in an increase in short term profit of $50,000. Therefore, Blowing Sand Company should accept the order.

Answer:

Blowing Sand Company should accept the special order

The order increases short-term profit by $50,000

Explanation:

The rationale for accepting or rejecting the order is hinged on the need to calculate the contribution to recovering fixed costs and making an extra net income

Sales value of the order (10,000*$22)   $220,000

Variable costs($17*10,000)                     ($170,000)

Extra contribution                                    $50,000

The order brings an extra contribution of $50,000,since the fixed costs would be incurred regardless of whether the special order is taken or not,it would be wise to accept the order as it would increase profit by$50,000

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

B. $332 million

Explanation:

A. Calculation for How much was Carter's net income for 2016

Using this formula

2016 Net income=Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold - Other expenses

Let plug in the formula

2016 Net income= $900 million - $270 million - $225 million

2016 Net income = $405 million

Therefore How much was Carter's net income for 2016 is $405 million

B. Calculation for How much was Carter's cash balance at the end of 2016

Using this formula

2016 Ending cash balance =Beginning balance + Cash receipts - Payments

Let plug in the formula

2016 Ending cash balance=$ 110 millon + $872 million- $375million - $275million

2016 Ending cash balance= $332million

How much was Carter's cash balance at the end of 2016 is $332million

14) If the investor wants to have a portfolio with a 16% expected return, the minimum standard deviation he can achieve is a) 40
stellarik [79]

The main aim in which any investor puts his capital into a business is to:

  • Make profit.

<h3>What is an Investment?</h3>

This refers to the value which is given to a certain venture or business in order to yield profit after a period of time.

With this in mind, we can see that several parameters are missing from the question, but expected returns are measures of probability that are used to calculate profit and ROI.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.

Net Present Value and Competing Projects For discount factors use Exhibit 12B.1 and Exhibit 12B.2. Spiro Hospital is investigati
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1. Assuming a discount rate of 14%, compute the net present value of each piece of equipment.

  • Puro equipment: $255,203
  • Briggs equipment: $318,944

2. A third option has surfaced for equipment purchased from an out-of-state supplier. The cost is also $560,000, but this equipment will produce even cash flows over its 5-year life. What must the annual cash flow be for this equipment to be selected over the other two

  • $256,021

Explanation:

Year      Puro Equipment       Briggs Equipment

0             -$560,000                    -$560,000

1               $320,000                      $120,000

2              $280,000                      $120,000

3              $240,000                      $320,000

4               $160,000                      $400,000

5               $120,000                      $440,000

I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate the NPVs

the PV of the third equipment's annual cash flow should be higher than $878,944  (PV of Brigg's cash flows = $560,000 + $318,944)

now I used a annuity table: annuity factor for 5 years and 14% is 3.4331

cash flow x 3.4331 ≥ $878,944

cash flow ≥ $878,944 / 3.4331 = $256,021
