Answer:

Profit (loss) 4611

Explanation:

Variable manufacturing cost per unit = Total variable manufacturing cost / Total number of units = 99750 / 15000 = 6.65.

Calculation of special order :

Sales (5300 * 7.80) = 41.340  

(-) Variable manufacturing costs ( 5.300 * 6.65 ) = 35.245  

(-) Export fees ( 5300 * 0.28) = 1.484  

Profit (loss) 4.611

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the completed version is as follows:

Lattimer Company had the following results of operations for the past year:

Sales (15,000 units at $12.15)    $ 182,250  

Variable manufacturing costs                         ($ 99,750)    

Fixed manufacturing costs                           ($     23,250)    

Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed)    ($     38,250)                                                                                                          ($161, 250)

Operating income                             $ 21,000  

A foreign company whose sales will not affect Lattimer's market offers to buy 5,300 units at $7.80 per unit. In addition to existing costs, selling these units would add a $0.28 selling cost for export fees. Lattimer’s annual production capacity is 25,000 units. If Lattimer accepts this additional business, the special order will yield a:

Multiple Choice

A. $4,611 profit.

B $6,095 profit.

C $8,904 loss.

D $2,120 loss.

E $3,604 loss.

The answer is: A

Explanation:

A special order decision relies upon the contribution to company profitability if the order is taken, available production capacity as well as any existing orders which are still pending. Special orders entail special processing requirements or differences in pricing. In order to gauge the profitability of accepting a special order, incremental costs must be compared with incremental revenue. Thereafter, production capacity must be evaluated together with possible alternatives for any excess capacity.

Lattimer has a $12.15 selling price for its products but the new order dictates $7.80 selling price. This is indicative of a special order. There is an additional $0.28 for exporting the product to the foreign company. Excluding variable costs, the remaining costs remain fixed, that is, these costs do not change with production volume.

Given total variable costs of $99, 750 for 15, 000 units, variable cost per unit is $6.65. If Lattimer takes the order, they would yield a contribution to fixed costs of:

$7.80 - ( $6.65 + $0.28) = $ 0.87 per unit

5, 300 units * $0.87 = $ 4, 611

Alto and Solo are all-equity firms. Alto has 2,400 shares outstanding at a market price of $24 a share. Solo has 4,000 shares ou
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Alto's share value =  (2,400 × $24) = $57,600

Alto's total value = Share value + Incremental value of acquisition = $57,600 + $5,500 = $63,100

Net present value (NPV) = Alto's total value - Cost of acquisition =  $63,100 - $63,000 = $100

Therefore, the net present value of acquiring Alto to Solo is $100.

The argument that the national debt imposes a burden on future generations becomes more compelling as
svetoff [14.1K]
It becomes more compelling as it increases over time. Basically, when you owe money and die, your children have to pay it back. Then they accumulate their own debt so their children have to pay it then. This goes on for years and years and you end up with a huge national debt that the generations can't pay back and everyone keeps working for money that they don't have.
