Answer:

c. Purchase cost of existing machine

Explanation:

Relevant  costs are the incremental costs that can be avoided by avoiding the functional activity with which the costs are associated.

Maintenance costs are relevant as they are directly linked to the use of machinery and as such are incremental with the use. The same is the case with the maintenance costs of the existing machine as they are avoidable if the new machine is purchased.

Expected cost savings would be incremental with the improved new machine. These cost savings thus are relevant.

Resale value of existing machine are also relevant as these would contribute towards the purchase of new machine.

The purchase price of existing machine is irrelevant as the machine cost has already been paid and regardless of purchasing the new machine or not, this cost is not a part of any calculations.

Hope that helps.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

1. Overheads rate per activity

Setup = $4,100 per setup

Machining = $120 per machine hour

Engineering = $60 per engineering hour

Packing = $0.30 per packing order

2. Cost per unit

Deluxe = $162.60

Normal = $53.675

Explanation:

As for the provided information:

We have,

Different activities as follows:

Setups = $2,050,000

Total setups = 300 + 200 = 500

Rate = $2,050,000/500 = $4,100 per setup

Machining = $48,000,000

Total machine hours = 100,000 + 300,000 = 400,000

Machine hour rate = $48,000,000/400,000 = $120 per machine hour

Engineering = $9,000,000

Total engineering hours = 50,000 + 100,000 = 150,000

Rate per hour = $9,000,000/150,000 = $60 per hour

Packing = $150,000

Packing orders = 100,000 + 400,000 = 500,000

Rate per hour = $150,000/500,000 = $0.30 per order

2. Calculating per product cost

Particulars              Deluxe                 Normal

Setup Cost

In 3:2 ratio            $1,230,000              $820,000

Machining Cost

In 1:3 ratio             $12,000,000          $36,000,000

Engineering cost

In 1:2 ratio            $3,000,000               $6,000,000

Packing Cost

In 1:4 Ratio             $30,000                  $120,000

Therefore total cost for each printer

                              $16,260,000           $42,940,000

Number of units         100,000              800,000

<u>Cost per unit               $162.60             $53.675</u>

Turner, a successful executive, is negotiating a compensation plan with his potential employer. The employer has offered to pay
zzz [600]

Answer:

b. If the employer accepts Turner's counteroffer, Turner will recognize as gross income $55,000 per month [($480,000 + $180,000)/12].

Explanation:

Given that

Turner annual salary = $600,000

Counteroffer to received a monthly salary = $40,000 or $480,000 annually

And, $180,000 bonus in 5 years at the age of 65

So the benefit he will be getting would be after accepting the counter offer is

= ($480,000 + $180,000) ÷ 12 months

= $660,000  ÷ 12 months

= $55,000

he credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies imp
natulia [17]

Here is the full question.

The employee credit union at State University is planning the allocation of funds for the coming year. The credit union makes four types of loans to its members. In addition, the credit union invests in risk-free securities to stabilize income. The various revenue producing investments together with annual rates of return are as follows:

Type of Loan/Investment               Annual Rate of Return (%)

Automobile loans                                8

Furniture loans                                   10

Other secured loans                          11

Signature loans                                 12

Risk-free securities                            9

The credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies impose the following restrictions on the composition of the loans and investments.

Risk-free securities may not exceed 30% of the total funds available for investment.

Signature loans may not exceed 10% of the funds invested in all loans (automobile, furniture, other secured, and signature loans).

Furniture loans plus other secured loans may not exceed the automobile loans.

Other secured loans plus signature loans may not exceed the funds invested in risk-free securities.

How should the $1.6 million be allocated to each of the loan/investment alternatives to maximize total annual return? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Automobile Loans $  

Furniture Loans $  

Other Secured Loans $  

Signature Loans $  

Risk Free Loans $  

What is the projected total annual return? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$  

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the amount invested in:

Automobile loans be Xa,

Furniture Loans be Xf,

Other Secured Loans be Xo,

Signature loans be Xs,    &;

Risk-free loans be Xr

In reference  on the Annual returns rate given;

Total annual returns = 8%×Xa + 10%×Xf + 11%×Xo + 12%×Xs + 9%×Xr

The various constraints given can be written as follows:

Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs + Xr = 1,600,000-----Constraint for amount available for investment

Xr = 30%*1,600,000 ----- Constraint for maximum risk free investment

Xs = 10%*(Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs) -----  Constraint for maximum amount in signature loans

Xf + Xo = Xa ------- Constraint for Furniture and other secured loans

Xo + Xs = Xr  ------ Constraint for other secured loans and signature loans

Using the Excel Formula for solving this;

we have the following result.

Automobile Loans                     $ 504,000

Furniture Loans                         $ 136,000

Other Secured Loans               $ 368,000

Signature Loans                        $ 112,000

Risk-Free Loans                        $ 480,000

The projected total annual return = $ 151,040

The computation of the excel formula on how we arrived at those valid figures above is shown in the attached files below.

Thanks!

Suppose you believe that Delva Corporation's stock price is going to decline from its current level of $82.50 sometime during th
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

B. $1,989.75

Explanation:

Cost of option (C) = $510.25

Option selling price (Po) = $85 per share

Share price when selling (Ps) = $60 per share

Number of shares (n) = 100 shares

Since the option allows you to sell shares that are valued at $60 for at $85 each, by selling 100 shares, your total earnings are:

E=(P_o-P_s)*n\\E=(\$85-\$60*)100\\E=\$2,500

To find the pre-tax net profit (P), subtract the amount paid for the options from your earnings:

P=E-C= \$2,500-\$510.25\\P=\$1,989.75
