Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years. Target average profit margin for Simon
Luda [366]

Answer:

Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4

Explanation:

Given that:

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%

The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:

Year                  Sales volume (units)                   Unit selling price

Year 1                       40,000                                 $80.00

Year 2                      50,000                                 $75.00

Year 3                     35,000                                   $50.00

Year 4                      25,000                                  $45.00

The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.

The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:

= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)

For Year 1

=  $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)

= $80.00 - $16.00

= $64.00

For Year 2

= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)

= $75.00 - ( $15.00)

= $60.00

Year 3

= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)

= $50.00 - $10.00

= $40.00

Year 4

= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)

=$45.00 - $9.00

= $36.00

Year       Sales volume    Unit                Cost          Cost per Unit

                (units)             selling price  

Year 1       40,000          $80.00          $64.00       $2560000

Year 2      50,000          $75.00          $60.00       $3000000

Year 3      35,000          $50.00          $40.00        $1400000

Year 4       25,000          $45.00         $36.00        $900000

Total:        150000                                                    $7860000

Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000

Allowable unit cost = 52.4

Farmer Brian has 3 acres of land which he farms efficiently. Each acre can support 10 apple trees. However the 3 acres differ in
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:the opportunity cost of growing another apple tree is 2 orange trees

Explanation:

Opportunity cost represents the  value of cost  what must be given up toin order to obtain the best alternative.

Here Farmer Brain has 3 acres of land that can support 10 apple threes on each acre, and 30 orange tree on best acre, 20 on good acre and 10 oranges on bad acre.

that means he can grows 30 apples  on the 3 acres and 60 oranges at  on the 3 acres. giving us

the opportunity cost of growing an orange tree is

60 oranges ( 30+20+10)trees= 30 apples tress

1 orange tree = 30/60

1 orange tree=1/2 apples

therefore the opportunity cost of growing an orange tree is half apple tree, Also the opportunity cost of growing an apple tree is 2 orange trees

You want to invest some money today to ensure you have exactly $50 thousand in 6 years to use as the down payment on a house. Yo
Naddik [55]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

STRIPS are zero coupon bonds, and the advantage of them is that they allow an investor to know exactly how much money they will receive at a future date.

The investor purchases the STRIPS at a discount value, which we are not told here. E.g. assuming that the discount rate is 5% (similar to (4), the price of the STRIPS = $50,000 / (1 + 5%)⁶ = $37,311.

A judge requires Harry to make a payment to Sally. The judge says that Harry can pay her either $10,000 today or $12,000 two yea
Stells [14]

Answer:

d. 9 percent

Explanation:

After 2 years the value of $10,000 at present time =

$10,000 * (1 + x / 100)^2 = $12,000

(1 + x / 100)^2 = 12,00 / 10,000

(1 + x / 100)^2 = 1.2

The square root of 1.2 is 1.0954

(1 + x / 100) = 1.0954

x = 9.54

9%( Approximately.)
