Sales total 50,000 units a year. The statues are finished either rough or polished, with an average demand of 60% rough and 40%

polished. Iron ingots, the direct material, costs $5 per pound. Processing costs are $300 to convert 30 pounds into 60 statues. Rough statues are sold for $17 each, and polished statues can be sold for $19 or engraved for an additional cost of $5. Polished statues can then be sold for $23.50. How much would the profits/unit increase by if the Company should engrave the statues?

Answer:

It is more profitable to not engrave the statues.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 50,000 units

Polished= 40% of sales

Direct material= $5 per pound

Processing= $300 to convert 30 pounds in 60 statues

Polish= $19 per unit

Engraved= $5 per unit

New selling price= $23,5

We need to determine whether it is more convenient to sell the units engraved or not.

First, we need to calculate the unitary cost of a polished unit.

The total cost of 60 units= 5*30 + 300= $450

Unitary cost (normal)= 450/60= $7.5

Unitary cost (engraved)= 7.5+5= $12.5

Total sales= 50,000*0.4= 20,000 units

Now, we can determine the total contribution margin of both options:

Sell as-is:

Total contribution margin= 20,000*(19-7.5)= $230,000

Engrave:

Total contribtuion margin= 20,000*(23.5 - 12.5)= $220,000

<u>It is more profitable to not engrave the statues.</u>

A two-year bond with par value $1,000 making annual coupon payments of $99 is priced at $1,000.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

(a) 9.9%

(b) 10.09%

The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Coupon payment

= $99

Price

= $1,000

(a)

The Yield to maturity (YTM) will be:

= $\frac{C+\frac{F-P}{n} }{\frac{F+P}{2} }$

where,

C = Coupon payment

P = Price

n = years to maturity

F = Face value

On putting the estimated values is the above formula, we get

⇒ $99+\frac{0}{1000}$

⇒ $.099$

⇒ $9.9$ %

(b)

Although the 1st year coupon was indeed reinvested outside an interest rate of r%, cumulative money raised will indeed be made at the end of 2nd year.

= $[99\times (1 + r)] + 1,099$

Came to the realization compound YTM is therefore a function of r, as is shown throughout the table below:

Rate (r) Total proceeds Realized YTM ( $(\frac{proceeds}{1000} )^{.5} - 1$ )

7.9% 1205.8 9.8%

9.9% 1207.8 9.9%

11.9% 1209.8 9.99%

Now,

Overall proceeds realized YTM:

= $\frac{proceeds}{1000} -18 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2081208}{1000} - 1$

= $0.0991$

= $9.91 \ percent \ 10 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2101210}{1000}- 1$

= $0.1000$

= $10.00 \ percent \ 12 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2121212}{1000}-1$

= $0.1009$

= $10.09$ %

MrRa [10]

Answer: 13.53%

Explanation:

The expected return on the portfolio will be calculated by multiplying the investment in each stock by the expected return of the stocks. This will be:

= (31% × 11%) + (46% × 14%) + (23% ×16%)

= 3.41% + 6.44% + 3.68%

= 13.53%

Answer:

Suppose that for a particular firm the only variable input into the production process is labor and that output equals zero when no workers are hired. In addition, suppose that the average total cost when 5 units of output are produced is $60, and the marginal cost of the sixth unit of output is $120. What is the average total cost when six units are produced
