Boney Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers. Sugar beets are processed in batches. A batch of sugar b

eets costs $52 to buy from farmers and $11 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber, and beet juice emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $16 or processed further for $15 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $64. The beet juice can be sold as is for $47 or processed further for $19 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $64.
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar rather than not processing that batch at all?

Answer:

$31

Explanation:

The incremental revenue and cost is calculated as stated below to arrive at the financial advantage

                              Beet Fiber          Beet Juice

Un processesd        16                         47                         63

Processed                64                         64                       128

Cost of further         15                         19                          34

Processing

Financial advantage = Incremental revenue - incremental cost

= 128-(63+24)= 31

Financial advantage from further processing    $31

However , i will like to mention that the financial advantage could have increased by $2 if the Beet juice is not processed further as the incremental cost is more than incremental revenue

Answer

Financial advantage from further processing    $31

Explanation:

<em>A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  </em>

<em>Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point (the cost of crushing) are irrelevant to the decision to process further .  </em>

<em>                                                                                                     $</em>

Sales revenue after the split off point( 64+64)                       128

Sales revenue at the split-off point (16+47)                            <u> 63</u>

Additional sales revenue                                                          65

Further processing cost ( 15+19)                                              <u>(34 )</u>

<em>Net income after further processing                                        31</em>

Financial advantage from further processing    $31

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32

Explanation:

The computation of the sharpe ratio is shown below:

= (Return of portfolio - risk free asset) ÷ Standard deviation

= (17% - 9%) ÷ 25%

= 8% ÷ 25%

= 0.32

Hence, the Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is 0.32

We simply applied the above formula

Last year, Forest Products issued both 5-year and 10-year bonds at par. The bonds each have a coupon rate of 5.5 percent, paid s
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Price at issuance is $1,000 for both bonds.

Price of the 5 year bond after the market rate increased to 7.4% is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.7%)⁸ = $747.77

PV of coupon payments = $27.50 x 6.81694 (PV annuity factor, 3.7%, 8 periods) = $187.47

Market price = $935.24

this bond's price decreased by 64.76/1,000 = 0.06476 = 6.48%

Price of the 10 year bond after the market rate increased to 7.4% is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.7%)¹⁸ = $519.97

PV of coupon payments = $27.50 x 12.97365 (PV annuity factor, 3.7%, 18 periods) = $356.78

Market price = $876.75

this bond's price decreased by 123.25/1,000 = 0.12325 = 12.33%

When a country's economy is producing at a level that exceeds its potential gdp, the standardized employment deficit will show a
Alla [95]

Answer:

<u>smaller deficit</u>.

Explanation:

A smaller deficit than the current deficit is the ideal answer to fill the gap. A deficit occurs when expenditures are greater than revenues, so in an economy with a surplus, revenues will be larger than expenses, so the standardized employment deficit will be smaller than the current one, because an economy with a GDP that exceeds its potential , is an economy that is expanding, production is larger, which consequently increases the employment rate and decreases the deficit.

irinina [24]

Answer:

c. faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product

Explanation:

Perfect Competition is a market form, having large no. of sellers, selling homogeneous products at constant prices. So, constant prices imply that their demand curve is horizontal, perfectly elastic.

Monopolistic Competition is a market form, having many sellers, selling slightly differentiated products which are incomplete substitutes of each other. The prices also vary from firm to firm, depending on product quality. So, these firms have usual downward sloping curve, denoting price-demand inverse relationship.
