Harcourt Manufacturing (HM) has the capacity to produce 10,000 fax machines per year. HM currently produces and sells 7,000 unit

s per year. The fax machines normally sell for $100 each. Modem Products has offered to buy 2,000 fax machines from HM for $60 each. Unit-level costs associated with manufacturing the fax machines are $15 each for direct labor and $40 each for direct materials. Product-level and facility-level costs are $50,000 and $65,000, respectively. How much would profit increase (decrease) if HM accepted this special order?
$10,000

Answer:

Increase by $10,000

Explanation:

Calculating current profit

Sales = 7,000 units X $100 = $700,000

Less: Variable Cost, Direct labor $15 + Direct material $40 = $55 each unit

= $7,000 X $55 = $385,000

Less: Fixed Cost = Product level $65,000 + Facility Level = $50,000 = $115,000

Total profit = $700,000 - $385,000 - $115,000 = $200,000

Since the entire production capacity is for 10,000 units and only 7,000 units are produced additional production of 2,000 units is within the limit and will not require additional fixed cost.

Thus profit on sale of these 2,000 units

Sales value = 2,000 X $60 = $120,000

Less: Variable cost per unit of $55 = 2,000 X $55 = $110,000

Profit on these 2,000 units = $120,000 - $110,000 = $10,000

This concludes that <u>profit will increase by $10,000</u> with this order of 2,000 units.

kakasveta [241]

luney has issued =  70000 shares

luney has shares outstanding 63000

maximum shares of common stock = 100,000

sold shares =  70,000

reacquired = 7,000

solution

we know here 100000 shares are mention in charter of the company

so Luney Corporation is authorized to sell 100000 shares

and  luney has issued =  70000 shares

so here  

we know that

luney has shares outstanding  = 70000 - 7000

luney has shares outstanding 63000

The current price of the common stock of Internet Enterprises is $100. Over the course of a year, the stock's price will either
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Current value of this newly issued option on Internet Enterprises= $25

Explanation:

Risk free rate for 6 month or period 1= (1000-909.09)/909.09=10%

Risk free rate for 1 year= (1000-826.45)/826.45=21%

Hence, risk free rate for period 2= (1+21%)/(1+10%)-1=10%

Now, Risk free rate factor for period 1 (R1)=1+10%=1.1

Risk Free rate factor for period 2 (R2)=1+10%=1.1

Upward price factor for a period(u)=(1+100%)^(1/2)=1.414

Downward price factor for a period(d)=(1-50%)^(1/2)=0.707

Probability of upward price= (R-d)/(u-d)=(1.1-0.707)/(1.414-0.707)=0.55

Probability of downward price= 1-0.55=0.45

After period 1: Upward price=100*1.414=141.4 with probability 55%

Downward price =100*0.707=70.7 with probability 45%

After period 2:

Upward Price will be =141.4*1.414=200 with probability= 55%*55%=30.25%

Downward price will be=70.7*0.707=50 with probability=45%*45%=20.25%

Mid price will be = 141.4*0.707 or 70.7*1.414=100 with probability =2*45%*55%=49.5%

Now, the highest price the stock can go is $200 with probability 30.25% and it was issued at $100

Hence, expected payoff of the option=30.25%*(200-100)=$30.25

So, current value of the newly issued option= 30.25/(1+21%)=$25
