A company must decide between scrapping or reworking units that do not pass inspection. The company has 22,000 defective units t

hat cost $6 per unit to manufacture. The units can be sold as is for $2.00 each, or they can be reworked for $4.50 each and then sold for the full price of $8.50 each. If the units are sold as is, the company will be able to build 22,000 replacement units at a cost of $6 each, and sell them at the full price of $8.50 each.
What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units? Should the company sell the units as scrap or rework them? (Deductible amounts should be indicated with a minus sign.)

Answer:

A. Sales as scrap $44,000

Rework $33,000

B. The company should sell as scrap

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units

SALES AS SCRAP REWORK

Sales of scrap units $44,000 $0

( 22000 × $2.00)

Sale of reworked unit $0 $187,000

( 22000 × $8.50 )

Less Cost to rework unit $0 ($99,000)

(22000 × $4.50)

Less Opportunity cost of not making new unit

$0 ($55,000)

[22000 × ($8.50 - $6)]

Incremental income(loss) $44,000 $33,000

Therefore the incremental income from selling the units as scrap is $44,000 and reworking and selling the units is $33,000

B. Based on the above calculation the company should sell as SCRAP because the incremental income of SALES AS SCRAP is higher than that of rework.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Sell as scrap:

Sales of scrap units:

= 22000 × $2.00

= $44,000

Rework:

Sale of reworked unit = 22000 × $8.50 = $187,000

- Cost to rework unit = 22000 × $4.50 = $99,000

- Opportunity cost of not making new unit = 22000 × ($8.50 - $6) = $45000

Incremental income(loss) = $33000

Since the incremental Income from scrap is more than reworking, then it implies that the company should sell as scrap.

True/False: the two most common means of acquisition are the entrepreneur's direct purchase of the firm's entire stock or assets
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to Thomas Duening and Robert Hisrich book "Technology Entrepreneurship: Taking Innovation to the Marketplace", the direct purchase has some problems: long-term capital gain to the seller and double taxation. The bootstrap purchase eliminates those problems: the acquiring company can acquire a small amount of the firm, 20 or 30% in cash and the remaining with a long-term note.

define a stock market bubble, describe what happens after a bubble, and explain how the law of supply and demand creates both bu
Stells [14]

Answer

<u>A bubble is a phenomena in investing that occurs when investors increase their demand in assets so much that they cause the price to move to a value beyond accurate reflection of its actual worthiness</u>. When a bubble happens, <u>the prices of stock will fall rapidly</u>.When there is increase in the share price of stock rapidly caused by individual-perpetuating, the share value can rise beyond asset value making investor to withdraw their money faster because <u>supply will exceed demand and cause share price to fall.</u>

An increase demand on assets by investors will make the price to increase beyond rational economic value. The real worth of the stock will now be determined by firm’s performance. Investing in bubble can appear to last forever, but because they are formed by self-perpetuated reasons, they eventually fall and the money that was invested into them is lost. In such cases, investors would run to withdraw their money and avoid the loss of fall in share prices.

Brut [27]

Answer: $175

Explanation:

Here we can see that the business discussion happened only at dinner.

After Dinner they went for entertainment at the Cinema so that amount is not deductible as a business Expense.

Meals with clients are considered to be 50% deductible so solving for that we have,

= 350 * 0.5

= $175

$175 is amount of the expenditures that Holly can deduct as a business expense.
