Answer:

The present worth of the cost savings if the company uses an interest rate of 15% per year on such investments is $442108.5079.

Explanation:

Present Worth = $100,000/(1 + 15%) + $100,000/(1 + 15%)^2 + $100,000/(1 + 15%)^3 + $200,000/(1 + 15%)^4 + $200,000/(1 + 15%)^5

                         = $442108.5079

Therefore, the present worth of the cost savings if the company uses an interest rate of 15% per year on such investments is $442108.5079.

Which of the following mechanisms would be most likely to help motivate managers to act in the best interests of shareholders?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is d) Increase the proportion of executive compensation that comes from stock options and reduce the proportion that is paid as cash salaries.

Explanation:

Option D. represents two situations that perfectly describe the interest that the shareholders pursue: the maximization of the profits of the company where they have their resources invested.

The shareholder, on the other hand, is also an investor, since he contributes capital with a view to obtaining a dividend.

Its investment is said to be in equities, given that there is no contract through which the shareholder will receive fixed fees in return for his investment. Their remuneration is through two ways:

  1. Dividend
  2. Increase in the price of the company. This is produced by its good progress and its ability to generate future benefits, as well as by the increase in assets through past benefits.

The most negative classification which the freight forwarding could receive is:

  • Average Business

<h3>What is Negative Classification?</h3>

This refers to the use of models to find out the predicted outcome which is in the negative class.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Moonbeam Company

a. Incremental Analysis:

Sales revenue:

Units of toasters (21,600 at $8.12)   $175,392

Variable costs (21,600 * $7.12)           153,792

Shipping costs                                         3,100

Total incremental costs                   $156,892

Incremental net income                    $18,500

b. Moonbeam should accept the special order.  It has the required capacity to deliver the additional toasters.  It will generate an incremental income of $18,500, which is better than nothing.  

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales (350,000 units) $4,375,000

Cost of goods sold       2,600,000

Gross profit                     1,775,000

Operating expenses        840,000

Net income                    $935,000

Operating capacity = 75%

Current sales = 350,000

Plant capacity = 466,667 units (350,000/75%)

                                                  Total           Per Unit

Sales (350,000 units)           $4,375,000    $12.50

Variable cost of goods sold = 1,820,000 ($2,600,000 * 70%)

Variable operating expense =  672,000 ($840,000 * 80%)

Total variable costs =           $2,492,000    $7.12

Net income =                         $1,883,000

Special Order:

Incremental Sales revenue

Units of toasters (21,600 at $8.12)   $175,392

Variable costs (21,600 * $7.12)           153,792

Shipping costs                                         3,100

Total incremental costs                   $156,892

Incremental net income                    $18,500

Lawn Chopper Company sells two types of lawn mowers. The first one is a basic lawn mower, which has variable costs of $50 and se
Temka [501]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Breakven even point is computed as

= Fixed costs / ( Sales price per unit - Variable costs per unit)

For basic lawn mower, Given that;

Fixed cost = $5,000,000

Sales price per unit = $150

Variable costs per unit = $50

BEP = $500,000 / ($150 - $50)

BEP = $500,000 / $100

BEP = 5,000 units

For Riding tractor, given that;

Fixed costs = $500,000

Sales price per unit = $1,500

Variable cost per unit = $500

BEP = $500,000 / ($1,500 - $500)

BEP = $500,000 / $1,000

BEP = 500 units

It therefore means that 5,000 units of basic Lawn mower must be sold to break even, while 500 units of riding tractor must be sold to break even.
