Hotco oil burners, designed to be used in asphalt plants, are so efficient that Hotco will sell one to the Clifton Asphalt plant

for no payment other than the cost savings between the total amount the asphalt plant actually paid for oil using its former burner during the last two years and the total amount it will pay for oil using the Hotco burner during the next two years. On installation, the plant will make an estimated payment, which will be adjusted after two years to equal the actual cost savings.
Which of the following, if it occurred, would constitute a disadvantage for Hotco of the plan described above?
A) Another manufacturer’s introduction to the market of a similarly efficient burner
B) The Clifton Asphalt plant’s need for more than one new burner
C) Very poor efficiency in the Clifton Asphalt plant’s old burner
D) A decrease in the demand for asphalt
E) A steady increase in the price of oil beginning soon after the new burner is installed

Answer:

Hotco

If it occurred, this would constitute a disadvantage for Hotco of the plan described above:

E) A steady increase in the price of oil beginning soon after the new burner is installed.

Explanation:

A steady oil price increase commencing soon after the new burner is installed will obliterate the actual cost savings from which Clifton Asphalt would be paying Hotco for the oil burners.

This is buttressed by the fact of the payment terms that totally depends on the cost savings.

Even the adjustment after two years may not benefit Hotco if the steady increase in the price of oil persists.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

C) 410 tubs

Explanation:

the contribution margin for sinks is $70 (= $150 - $80) and the contribution margin for tubs is $150 (= $600 - $450).

the molding equipment has 4,050 hours of capacity per year, so it can produce either 2,025 sinks or 810 tubs.

we can determine what product is more profitable if we determine a contribution margin per molding equipment usage ratio:

  • sink = $70 / 2 hours = $35 per hour
  • tub = $150 / 5 hours = $30 per hour

It is more profitable to produce sinks than tubs, but we can sell only 1,000 sinks per year, so even after we product the 1,000 sinks we will have spare molding equipment capacity which we can use to produce tubs.

The spare molding equipment capacity after producing sinks = 4,050 total hours - 2,000 hours used to produce sinks = 2,050 spare molding hours

We can produce 410 tubs (= 2,050 molding hours / 5 hours per tub)

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

The computation of the taxable gain is shown below:

The corporate gain is

= $40,000 - $20,000

= $20,000

Now the stock basis is increased i.e.

= $20,000 + $20,000

= $40.000

Now the stock basis decreased to zero i.e.

= $40,000 - $40,000

= $0

So, here the taxable gain is of $20,000

Svet_ta [14]

Answer: (a).

Annexure: <u>Since a part of the information was found missing in the question, a similar question has been provided as an attachment for reference. </u>

If the interest rate falls with other things remaining constant, a firm would like to raise more money via debt instruments.

This will lead to an increase in the quantity of loanable funds demanded.

This would further lead to increase in the level of invested funds by the public as it would get cheaper for the corporates to avail loans.
