Silven Industries, which manufactures and sells a highly successful line of summer lotions and insect repellents, has decided to

diversify in order to stabilize sales throughout the year. A natural area for the company to consider is the production of winter lotions and creams to prevent dry and chapped skin.
After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven's president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated.
The product selected (called Chap-Off is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $8 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $135,000 charge for fixed manufacturing overhead will be absorbed by the product under the company's absorption costing system.
Using the estimated sales and production of 135,000 boxes of Chap-off, the Accounting Department has developed the following cost per box:
Direct materials $3.90
Direct labor 1.90
Manufacturing overhead 1.30
Total cost $7.10
The costs above include costs for producing both the lip balm and the tube that contains it. As an alternative to making the tubes, Silven has approached a supplier to discuss the possibility of purchasing the tubes for Chap-Off. The purchase price of the empty tubes from the supplier would be $1.40 per box of 24 tubes. If Silven Industries accepts the purchase proposal, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead costs per box of Chap-Off would be reduced by 10% and direct materials costs would be reduced by 25%.
Required:
a. Calculate the total variable cost of producing one box of Chap-Off.
b. What would be the maximum purchase price acceptable to Silven Industries?

Contact [7]

Answer:

The answer is $1,500

Explanation:

Accounting equation can be stated as follows:

Equity = Asset - Liability

Asset = Equity + Liability

Liability = Asset - Equity.

What a firm is obligated to pay its creditors is known as a liability and its value in the question is $8,900

The assets owned by the company totalled $10,400

Now to find market value of the shareholders' equity, we use:

Equity = Asset - Liability

$10,400 - $8,900

= $1,500

Bond P is a premium bond with a coupon rate of 9 percent. Bond D has a coupon rate of 5 percent and is currently selling at a di
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market

b) bond P = -10.17

 bonds D  = 10.07

Explanation:

we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)

Bond P

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

C 90.000

time 10

rate 0.07

90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $632.1223

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV  

PV   508.35

PV c $632.1223

PV m  $508.3493

Total $1,140.4716

then, at time = 9

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

C 90.000

time 9

rate 0.07

90 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $586.3709

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   9.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV  

PV   543.93

PV c $586.3709

PV m  $543.9337

Total $1,130.3046

Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17

We repeat the process for bond D

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

C 50.000

time 10

rate 0.07

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-10} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $351.1791

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   10.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{10} } = PV  

PV   508.35

PV c $351.1791

PV m  $508.3493

Total $859.5284

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

C 50.000

time 9

rate 0.07

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-9} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $325.7616

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   9.00

rate  0.07

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{9} } = PV  

PV   543.93

PV c $325.7616

PV m  $543.9337

Total $869.6954

Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07

Bank A pays 10% interest compounded annually on deposits, while Bank B pays 9% compounded daily. a. Based on the EAR (or EFF%),
Pie

Answer:

Bank A should be chosen.

Explanation:

Given:

Effective annual rate (EAR) of bank A = 10%

Bank B pays 9% compounded daily. EAR of bank B is calculated below:

EAR = ( 1+\frac{i}{n})^{n} -1

Where, i is 0.09

            n is compounding period that is 365 (since it is compounded daily)

EAR = ( 1+\frac{0.09}{365})^{365} -1

       = 1.0942 - 1

       = 0.0942 or 9.42%

Bank B pays EAR of 9.42%

Based on EAR, Bank A should be selected as it pays higher EAR of 10%.
