Both Phoebe and Connor are trying to maximize their lifetime income. Each has a different plan on how to do it best. Phoebe clai

ms that she wants a career with no college or trade school requirements because she could save the money for retirement rather than spending it on education. She estimates her average yearly salary at $35,000 a year with no post-secondary education requirements. Connor claims post-secondary education will help him get a career with a higher salary and more benefits he can use in retirement so the education costs will more than pay for themselves. Connor estimates his average yearly salary at $60,000 after earning a college degree.
Which statement about their claims is correct?



A. Phoebe is correct because a college education is overly expensive and is almost a waste of money.

B. Phoebe is correct because she might save $60,000 for not attending college and $140,000 by earning money while others are in college. The college graduates would never be able to make up that difference in earnings.
C. Connor is correct because he is likely to earn a higher salary throughout his career. By earning by only $11,000 more in salary, he could make up the difference over the life of his career. He is also likely to have more employee benefits to save for his retirement.
D.Connor is correct because a person without a college degree will never be able to support himself.

The correct answer is C. By attending college, Connor actually stands better prospects to earn a significant salary throughout his lifetime. Employees having gone through post-secondary education generally earn more income than those who have not studied till college. The simple reason is, by attending college, you acquire sharper knowledge and insights of disciplines you wouldn't otherwise have access to. You get skills that are in line with a demanding and fast-paced environment. People often regret not attending college because they could have grabbed a certificate that could have been a stepping stone for professional opportunities and higher incomes.

Montano1993 [528]

If sales volume increases and all other factors remain constant, then the Margin of safety will increase

Explanation:

The margin for safety (MOS) is described as an overall excess of current or expected revenue, expressed either in terms of currency or in units, or as a percentage of total revenues.

One of the main ways to increase the safety margin is through increasing the gross value per unit (if business conditions are favourable) and by reducing the variable cost per unit of the good. This can be accomplished by rising selling costs.

Problem 16-15 MM and Taxes [LO2] Meyer & Co. expects its EBIT to be $111,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 8 pe
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) 12.87%

b) 11.03%

Explanation:

EBIT with no debt = $111,000

net income = $111,000 x (1 - 22%) = $86,580

total value of the firm with no debt = $86,580 / 12% = $721,500

value of the firm after debt is taken = $721,500 + ($165,000 x 22%) = $757,800

debt to equity ratio after debt is taken = $165,000 / ($757,800 - $165,000) = 27.834%

new cost of equity (Re) = 12% + [(12% - 8%) x 27.834% x (1 - 22%)] = 12.87%

WACC = (0.72166 x 12.87%) + (0.27834 x 8% x 0.78) = 9.288% + 1.737% = 11.025$ = 11.03%

1. Labor Hours                     120            300             145              50

2. Overhead applied rate   $906         $2,400       $1,160         $400

Explanation:

Labor rate per hour = $18

Labor hours = Total Labor cost / rate per hour

Job 93 = $2,160 / $18 = 120 hours

Job 94 = $5,400 / $18 = 300 hours

Job 95 = $2,610 / $18 = 145 hours

Job 96 = $900 / $18 = 50 hours

Overhead applied rate = Labor Hours x overhead applied rate

Job 93 = 120 x $8 = $960

Job 94 = 300 x $8 = $2,400

Job 95 = 145 x $8 = $1,160

Job 96 = 50 x $8 = $400
