Answer:

no further further differential

processing processing amount

price per pound $8.40 $10.00 $1.60

materials $5 $5.25 ($0.25)

processing costs $0 = $9,450 / ($1.66)

5,700 = $1.66

operating profit per $3.40 $3.09 ($0.31)

pound

The company should sell coffee without any further processing, just sell it as normal Colombian coffee.

In order to eliminate the financial disadvantage of processing further the decaf coffee, the the price should be $10 + $0.31 = $10.31 per pound.

Casey Nelson is a divisional manager for Pigeon Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s return o

baherus [9]

Answer:

NPV: $180,285.49

IRR: 21.336%

simple rate of return: 72.13%

Explanation:

6,100,000 investment

contribution margin 3,000,000

fixed expense: 900,000

EBITA 2,100,000

We will calculate the NPV without the depreciation, as the depreciation is the distribution of the investment cost over the project life.

If we include the depreciation we will be counting the investment amount twice. Entirely at Time 0 and then subtracting on each cash inflow.

We will calculate the NPV at 20% as is the company's discount rate. Even if the current division returns are in 24% as the company accepts project which yields 20%.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 2,100,000

time 5 years

rate 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

$2100000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.2)^{-5} }{0.2} = PV\\$

PV $6,280,285.49

NPV = PV of cash inflow - investment

6,280,285.49 - 6,100,000 = 180,285.49

the IRR:

The internal rate of return is the rate at which the NPV of a priject is zero.

We calculate this using excel formula IRR

or a financial calculator

it could also be done with trial and error using the PV tables.

I will explain you in Excel

FIrst, you write the inflow and outflow per year:

-6,100,000

2,100,000

then we write on another cell:

=IRR(

then, select the cells

and press enter

21.336%

the simple rate of return:

(total return - investment) / investment

(2,100,000 x 5 - 6,100,000) / 6,100,000 =

4,400,000 / 6,100,000 = 0.721311475 = 72.13%

The budgeted unit sales of Weller Company for the upcoming fiscal year are provided below:

Sati [7]

Answer:

Weller Company

Selling and Administrative Expense Budget for the upcoming year:

First Quarter

Variable = $302,400 (($2.80 x (29,000 + 30,000 +22,000 + 27,000))

Fixed:

Advertising = $56,000 ($14,000 x 4)

Executive Salaries = $188,000 ($47,000 x 4)

Depreciation = $112,000 ($28,000 x 4)

Insurance = $10,000 ($5,000 x 2)

Property Taxes = $7,800

Total = $672,200

Explanation:

A budget is a projection into the future about the activities of an entity. It is used for planning and decision making, especially when the budget is compared with the actual performances to obtain variances.

The total variable for the year is obtained by adding up the budgeted unit sales for the quarters and multiplying by the variable expense per unit.

The fixed costs total $373,800. The Advertising, Executive Salaries, and Depreciation costs would be incurred each quarter. So their sums were obtained by multiplying a quarter's total cost by 4.

Insurance cost would be incurred only in two quarters and Property Taxes in one quarter only.

Income rises from $3,500 to $4,000 a month and the quantity demanded of good X falls from 7 to 5 units a month. Income elasticit

finlep [7]

Answer:

E) -2.50 ; inferior

Explanation:

Before you earned $3,500 per month, you consumed 7 units per month. That means that you consumed 1 unit every $500 earned.

When your income increased to $4,000, you only consumed 5 units per month. That means that your consumption decreased to 1 unit for every $800.

The income elasticity of demand using the midpoint method is calculated by using the following formula:

income elasticity = {change in quantity demanded / [(old quantity + new quantity) / 2]} / {change in income / [(old income + new income) / 2]}

= {-2 / [(7 + 5) / 2]} / {500 / [(3,500 + 4,000) / 2]} = (-2 / 6) / (500 / 3,750) = -0.333 / 0.133 = -2.5

Since the income elasticity of demand is negative, the good X is an inferior good.
