Answer:

Increase in operating income by $5,000

Explanation:

Firstly, we shall compute the additional cost of this order,

Variable Cost = Direct material + Direct Labor + Variable factory overhead

= $25 + $20 + $15 = $60

Note: Fixed cost will not form part of this decision, as the company has additional capacity lying idle, thus no additional fixed cost will be incurred, and the fixed cost allocated i.e. $12 per unit is not relevant, as is just allocation and not incurred, it is a kind of sunk cost allocated.

Relevant cost = $60 per unit

Selling price per unit = $70 per unit

Contribution to profit = $70 - $60 = $10 per unit

Total increase in operating income = $10 \times 500 = $5,000

Thus operating income will increase by this amount.

Increase in operating income by $5,000

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If two firms differ only in their use of debt-i.e., they have identical assets,
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

E) If two firms differ only in their use of debt-i.e., they have identical assets, sales, operating costs, interest rates on their debt, and tax rates-but one firm has a higher debt ratio, the firm that uses more debt will have a lower profit margin on sales.

Explanation:

Firms that are highly leveraged, i.e. have a lot of debt, have higher costs due to interests that must be paid, so their profit margins are smaller, and their return on assets is also lower, and their risk is much higher also.

But the benefit is that the return on equity is much higher. A greater amount of debt means lower amount of equity, so any profits made must be divided by a smaller amount of stocks or smaller amount of capital invested.

A good is excludable if: a) Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits. b) It is not possi
N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits.

Explanation:

The excludability feature of goods does not allow individuals to have access to them without having paid for them. Thus, non-excludable goods are those that no one cannot prevent its use. <em>Private goods</em> (clothing, vehicles, houses) are excludable but they are also considered rival goods since when one person uses it another individual cannot consume the goods.

A U.S. Treasury bill with 69 days to maturity is quoted at a discount yield of 2.29 percent. Assume a $1 million face value. Wha
Molodets [167]

Answer:

2.32%

Explanation:

The formula for bond equivalent yield is in the attachment, we use it with the values provided in this question.

First, use the discount yield to calculate the price (P) of the bond

Face value = $1,000,000

Discount yield = 2.29 or 0.0229 as a decimal

Discount yield = [ (FV - P)/P ] *(360/T)

0.0229 =[ (1,000,000 -P)/P ] *360/69

0.0229P = (1,000,000 -P )5.2174

0.0229P + 5.2174P = 5,217,391.30

Price; P  = $995,628.3618

Next, plug in the numbers in the bond equivalent yield (BEY) formula;

BEY = [ (1,000,000 - 995,628.3618)/$995,628.3618 ] * 365/69

BEY = 0.02323 OR 2.32%
