American Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $52 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has be

en discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $83 per gallon. American expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,000 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $160,000.a. What would be the effect on total profit if American produces the new compound variant?If American produces the new compound, profit will increase/decrease by ?

Answer:

a. The total profit would be positively affected as it increases

Explanation:

1. We calculate the value of revenue per 8000 gallons with the initial chemical compound and processed into the new variant

Revenue Initial Chemical Compound= 8000 gallons X ($52/gallon)

Revenue Initial Chemical Compound=<em><u> $ 416.000</u></em>

Revenue Chemical compound processed into the new variant=8000 gallons X ($83/gallon)

Revenue Chemical compound  processed into the new variant= <u><em>$ 664.000</em></u>

2. If we consider that the other production costs will be the same for the two chemical compounds, then the only difference will be the processing cost to refine the basic compound into the new variant. For this reason, we substract only the value of processing the basic compound into the new variant for the revenue of this.

<u><em>$ 664.000 - $160.000= $504.000</em></u>

3. The benefit values for each case are:

Initial Chemical Compound: $416.000

Chemical compound  processed into the new variant: $504.000

In conclusion, greater benefit is obtained by processing the basic compound in the new variant than if the basic compound were sold only

UkoKoshka [18]

At the time of collection, if the amount is paid within the discount period, the following entry is recorded:

Cash (+A).......................xxx

Sales discount(+XR,-R,-SE)........xxx

R. Jones (Accounts Receivables)(-A)….xxx

If the account is paid in full before the end of the discount period, the customer can be eligible for a cash discount rate. The duration of the trade credit is known as the credit period, and up until the end of the credit term, no interest is applied to the outstanding balance.

You use it to illustrate how a company's cash flow is distributed equally throughout the year rather than arriving in full at the end. We would use discount period numbers of 1 for the first year, 2 for the second year, 3 for the third year, and so on in a DCF without the mid-year convention.

Richardson motors uses 10 units of part no. t305 each month in the production of large diesel engines. the cost to manufacture o
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Richardson's opportunity cost is $8,000

Explanation:

If Richardson motors manufacture t305 themselves the total manufacturing cost per unit is $42,400.

Overhead of $24,000 is 1/3 variable and 2/3 of fixed, that means $16,000 of that would continue.

Therefore the avoidable variable manufacturing cost per unit is $24,000+$2000+$400= $26,400.

But, if Richardson Motors decides to buy the t305 from Simpson Castings then the per unit variable cost will be $36,000 ($30,000 purchase price + $6,000 material handling cost applied {i.e 20% X $30,000 per unit}).

Therefore, if they buy from Simpson Castings the per unit cost of the t305 component will no longer be the same. There will be an increase

I.e $36,000-$26,400=$9,600

If they buy 10 units per month, the total cost per month would increase by $9,600 X 10 =$96000.

If Richardson Motors happens to use the idle capacity to manufacture another product that would contribute $104,000 per month, then the opportunity cost would be:

$104,000 - $96,000 = $8,000

You are looking to buy a car and you have been offered a loan with an APR of 5.7 %​, compounded monthly. a. What is the true mon
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Monthly Interest rate = 0.475%

EAR = 5.85%

Explanation:

a.

APR = 5.7%

Monthly Interest rate = APR / n

Monthly Interest rate = 5.7% / 12

Monthly Interest rate = 0.475%

b.

APR = 5.7%

m = 12

EAR = [ ( 1 + (APR / m))^m] - 1

EAR = [( 1 + (0.057 / 12))^12] - 1

EAR = [( 1 + 0.00475 )^12] - 1

EAR = [( 1.00475 )^12] - 1

EAR = 1.0585 - 1

EAR = 0.0585

EAR = 5.85%

True monthly rate of​ interest is 0.475%

EAR is 5.85%
