Profit will be maximum for the firm where marginal revenue = marginal cost.

Since, the market price is fixed at $8 and therefore each additional unit of camera will be sold at $8.
Hence, marginal revenue = $8.

From the table, it is clear that cameras are manufactured in batches of 100.

Marginal cost is the cost incurred to produce one additional unit of camera. It will be calculated by taking the difference of successive variable costs (or total costs) divided by 100.

To produce 400th unit, marginal cost = (2760 - 1960)/100 = $8

Hence, profit maximising quantity isB. 400 (MR = MC)

Maximum Dollar Increase = $10079.76

Explanation:

(See attachment for full question)

INCOME STATEMENT

Sales ---------- $67,000

Costs ---------- $43,800

EBIT ------------ $23,200

Taxes (34%) ----$7,888

Net income ------$15,312

BALANCE SHEET

Current Assets ------$31,000

Fixed Assets --------- $118,000

Total ------------------- $149,000

Long-term Debt -----$68,000

Equity ------------------- $81,000

Total ----------------- $149,000

Dividend Payout Ratio = 30%

Plowback Ratio is calculated by: 1 - Dividend Payout Ratio

Plowback Ratio = 1 - 30%

Plowback Ratio = 1 - 30/100

Plowback Ratio = 1 - 0.3

Plowback Ratio = 0.7

Plowback Ratio = 70/100

Plowback Ratio = 70%

Return on Equity (ROE) is calculated by: Net Income/Total Equity

Net Income = $15,132

Total Equity = $81,000

ROE = $15,132/$81,000

ROE = 0.186815

ROE = 18.68%

Calculating Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR)

SGR = (ROE * Plowback Ratio)/(1 - ROE * Plowback)

SGR = (0.186815 * 0.7)/( 1 - 0.186815 * 0.7)

SGR = (0.1307705)(1-0.1307705)

SGR = 0.1307705/0.8692295

SGR = 0.150444157728194

SGR = 0.1504

Max increase = (Sales * SGR)= ($67,000 * 0.1504)

Max Increase = $10079.75856778905

Max Increase = $10079.76

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Generally, preferred stockholders receive dividends earlier than common stockholders. Moreover, as the preference shareholders are cumulative, if they do not receive dividends current year, they will receive in the next year. Finally, preferred dividend is fixed until there are new issuance of preferred stock.

Preferred dividends for Year 1 = 1,000 shares × $200 × 10% = $20,000

For year 2 = $20,000

Given, total dividends in year 1 = $15,000

Therefore, company provides $15,000 to preferred dividends. No common dividends in year 1.

However, in the next year (Year 2), the company will pay $5,000 + $20,000 = $25,000 to preferences shareholders.

Therefore, remaining dividends are for common stockholders.

Year 2 common stockholders dividends = $75,000 - $25,000 = $50,000.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

(1) $31,538.4; $5,328.9; $36,867.3

(2) $326,206; $120,903; $447,109

Explanation:

(1) Cost of ending work in process inventory:

For materials:

= Equivalent units of production in ending work in process × Cost per equivalent unit

= 2,040 × $ 15.46

= $31,538.4

For conversion:

= Equivalent units of production in ending work in process × Cost per equivalent unit

= 930 × $5.73

= $5,328.9

Total = $31,538.4 + $5,328.9

= $36,867.3

(2) Cost of the units completed and transferred out:

For materials:

= Total units completed and transferred × Cost per equivalent unit

= 21,100 × $ 15.46

= $326,206

For conversion:

= Total units completed and transferred × Cost per equivalent unit

= 21,100 × $5.73

= $120,903

Total = $326,206 + $120,903

= $447,109
