The SP Corporation makes 40,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this l

evel of activity is:
Direct materials $ 9.90
Direct labor $ 8.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.65
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.60
An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $25.15. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:

Answer:

c) 108,000 dollars

Explanation:

Buy option:

Purchase:        40,000 motors at 25.15 = 1,006,000

unavoidable fixed cost: 40,000 x 4.60 =    184,000

                                                               1,190,000.00

Produce option:

Manufacturing Cost (9.9 + 8.9 + 3.65) x 40,000 = 898,000.00

Fixed cost:                                                                  184,000.00

Total Cost                                                          1,082,000.00

Differential:  1,190,000 - 1,082,000.00 = 108,000.00

It is advantageous to continue the production as the unavoidable cost will make the buy option a worse deal

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a. 24%

b. 12%

Explanation:

Marginal tax rate is an incremental tax rate that is paid out of the taxable income of a tax payer. It represents the rate at which the last unit of dollar of the taxable income is taxed. The marginal rate for each income bracket is supplied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

                               Chuck Marginal Tax Rate

a) The marginal tax rate for Chuck if he earns additional $40,000 taxable income will be:

= $75,000 + $40,000

= $115,000

Marginal tax rate for $115,000 is 24% according IRS tax rate schedule.

b) If instead, it is an additional deduction of $40,0000, the marginal tax rate will be:

= $75,000 - $40,000

= $35,000

The marginal tax rate for taxable income of $35,000 is 12% according US tax rate schedule.

Note: the interest is categorized as interest from municipal bond, so it is tax free.

It is also assumed that Chuck is single. Hence, tax rate under single filer applies to him.

Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.50% and the future rate of inflation is expected to be constant at 4.10%. What rate of retu
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: 6.6%

Explanation:

The Pure Expectations Theory believes that the future long term rate is a reflection of future short term rates.

In terms of a 5 Treasury Security then, the rate of return to be expected is the risk free rate adjusted for inflation.

The Treasury Security has no risk but for inflation risk hence this is all that should be catered for.

Rate of Return on 5 year Treasury Security = Real Risk Free Rate + Inflation Rate

= 2.5% + 4.1%

= 6.6%
