AudioCables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $0.50 per unit and a selling price of $1.40

per unit. Fixed costs are $14,000. Current sales volume is 30,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $6,000. Variable costs would increase to $0.60, but sales volume should jump to 50,000 units due to a higher-quality product. Should AudioCable buy a new equipment?

Answer: Yes. AudioCable should buy a new equipment

Explanation:

Audiocables Inc. without new equipment:

Selling price: $1.40

Variable cost: $0.50

Fixed cost: $14,000

Sales: 30000 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $14000 + ($0.50 × 30000)

= $14000 + $15000

= $29000

Revenue = Sales × Selling price

= 30000 × $1.40

= $42000

Profit = Revenue - Total Cost

= $42000 - $29000

= $13000

Audiocables Inc. with new equipment:

Selling price: $1.40

Variable cost: $0.60

Fixed cost: $14,000 + $6000 = $20000

Sales: 50000 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $20000 + ($0.60 × 50000)

= $20000 + $30000

= $50000

Revenue = Sales × Selling price

= 50000 × $1.40

= $70000

Profit = Revenue - Total Cost

= $70000 - $50000

= $20000

From the calculations made, AudioCable buy a new equipment as profit generated is more.

Your portfolio consists of $50,000 invested in Stock X and $50,000 invested in Stock Y. Both stocks have return of 15%, betas of
NARA [144]

Answer:

B) Your portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6, and its expected return is 15%

Explanation:

Since the correlation coefficient between both stocks X and Y is zero, when one stock has an expected return a little higher than 15%, the other stock will have an expected return a little lower than 15%, so both variations basically cancel out each other. So the average expected return for both X and Y will be 15%.

Tanya [424]

The journal entry to record the receipt of inventory purchased for cash in a perpetual inventory system would be (D)

Jan. 1    Inventory                    1,500

                     Cash                                              1,500

<h3>What are journal entries?</h3>
  • A journal entry is an act of keeping or producing records of any economic or non-economic transaction.
  • An accounting journal, which shows a company's debit and credit balances, records transactions.
  • The journal entry can be made up of multiple records, each of which is either a debit or a credit.
  • Otherwise, the journal entry is termed unbalanced if the sum of the debits does not equal the total of the credits.

Inventory purchase journal entry:

  • Say you purchase $1,000 worth of inventory on credit.
  • Debit your Inventory account $1,000 to increase it.
  • Then, credit your Accounts Payable account to show that you owe $1,000.
  • Because your Cash account is also an asset, the credit decreases the account.

Therefore, the journal entry to record the receipt of inventory purchased for cash in a perpetual inventory system would be (D)

Jan. 1    Inventory                    1,500

                     Cash                                              1,500
