Answer:

1.

4,130 basckets

2.

Raise selling price to $27.84

Reduce variable costs to $16.7

Reduce fixed costs to $$11,400

Explanation:

Breakeven point is th level of sales where business have no profit no loss situation.

Contribution margin = Contribution margin / selling price = ( Selling Price - Variable cost ) / selling price = $27 - $17 = $10

Target Sales  = ( Target Income + Fixed cost ) / Contribution margin ratio =   ( $28,700 + $12,600 ) / $10 = 4,130 basckets

Selling Price

Selling price = Target Revenue / Number of Units sold = $111,622 / 4,010 = $27.84

Variable cost

Sales volume = ( Target income + Fixed cost) / Contribution margin

4,010 units =  ( $28,700 + $12,600 ) / ( $27 - variable cost )

4,010 units = 41300 / ( $27 - variable cost )

$27 - variable cost = $41,300 / 4,010 units

$27 - variable cost = $10.3 per unit

Variable cost = $27 - 10.3 = $16.7

Fixed Cost

Sales volume = ( Target income + Fixed cost) / Contribution margin  

4,010 units =  ( $28,700 + Fixed cost ) / $10

4,010 x $10 = ( $28,700 + Fixed cost )

%$40,100 = $28,700 + Fixed cost

Fixed cost = $40100 - $28,700 = $11,400

Consider the following financial statement information for the Hop Corporation:
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Operating cycle = 59.29 days

Cash cycle = 26.1115 days

Explanation:

From the information given:

\text{Beginning Inventory \$16,284} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts receivable 11,219} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts payable 13,960} \\ \\ \text{Ending Inventory $19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\

\text{Ending Inventory \$19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\

To start with:

\text{Average inventory = } \dfrac{Beginning \ value +Ending \ value}{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 16,284 + 19,108} {2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{35,392}{ 2} \\ \\ = \$17,696

\text{Average receivable }=\dfrac{ Beginning value + Ending value }{ 2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 11,219 + 13,973 }{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 25,192 }{ 2} \\ \\= \$12,596 \\ \\

\text{Average payable }= \dfrac{Beginning \ value + Ending\  value}{  2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{13,960 + 16,676 }{2} \\ \\= \dfrac{30,636}{2} \\ \\ = \$15,313

\text{Days of inventory outstanding} = \dfrac{Average \  inventory }{ Cost  \ of  \ goods \  sold  } \times 365  \\ \\ \dfrac{= 17,686}{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.105\times 365 \\ \\= 38.329 \ days

\text{Days  \ of  \ receivable \  outstanding }= \dfrac{Average  \ receivable }{ sales }\times 365 \\ \\ \dfrac{= 12,596 }{ 219,320} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0574 \times 365 \\ \\= 20.951 \  days

\text{Days of payable outstanding} = \dfrac{Average payable}{cost of goods sold} \times 365 \\ \\ = \dfrac{15,313 }{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0909 \times 365 \\ \\= 33.1785 days

\text{Operating Cycle = Days of inventory outstanding + Days of receivable outstanding} \\ \\ = 38.339 + 20.951 \\ \\ = 59.29 days

\text{Cash Conversion Cycle = Operating cycle - Days of payable outstanding} \\ \\ = 59.29 - 33.1785 \\ \\ = 26.1115 days \\ \\

Suppose that the S&amp;P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%. a.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a. The answers are as follows:

(i) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 4%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0

(ii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 6.25%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.25

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

assume bell computer company operates in a perfectly competitive market producing 5,000 computers per day. at this output level,
Agata [3.3K]

In a perfectly competitive market bell computers will cause profits to increase by producing one more.

A hypothetical market system is referred to as perfect competition. Perfect competition offers a valuable model for illustrating how supply and demand influence pricing and behaviour in a market economy, despite perfect competition seldom occurring in actual markets.

One of the most efficiently operating markets is one with perfect competition, when a large number of buyers and suppliers cooperate perfectly. Sadly, it is a hypothetical event that does not occur in the real world. But in order to guarantee a fair price for all goods and services, markets should strive to be as similar to this type of market as feasible.

The following information is available for Patrick Products for the year: Budgeted sales during the year 5,000 units Actual sale
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$125,000 Adverse variance as the cost actually incurred is higher.

Explanation:

The first step here is to find the Flexed Variable Overhead Cost by using the unitary method:

Budgeted overhead cost for 10,000 budgeted hrs = $2500,000

Budgeted overhead cost for 1 budgeted hrs = $2500,000 / 10000 bud. hrs

Budgeted overhead cost for 1 budgeted hrs = $250 per standard hr

And as we know that

Flexed Variable Overhead Budget = Actual Units * Budgeted overhead cost for standard hr

By simply putting values we have:

Flexed Variable Overhead Budget = 9000 hours * $250 per standard hr

= $2,2500,000

Now we will find the Flexible-budget Variable Overhead Variance by taking the difference of Variable overhead flexible budget and Actual Variable Overhead.

Flexible-budget Variable Overhead Variance = Variable overhead flexible budget - Actual Variable Overhead

By putting the values we have:

Flexible-budget Variable Overhead Variance = $2,2500,000 - $2,375,000

= $125,000 Adverse variance as the cost actually incurred is higher.
