Your friend Burrell says that the government should hire fewer social workers in order to reduce the cost of federal assistance

programs. He says reducing administrative costs will allow people to pay much lower taxes.
Consider whether or not his argument is valid.
Most of the leakage in federal assistance programs comes from
a) the administrative costs of running the programs.
b) peoples' responses to financial incentives.
c) the diminishing marginal utility of income.
d) the regressive nature of income taxes in the United States.

Answer: b) peoples' responses to financial incentives.

Explanation:

Burrell would be wrong because the most leakage in federal assistance programs comes from the way people respond to financial incentives.

Some people who have received this assistance from the Federal government have decided that it would be better to keep receiving this assistance instead of working to actually get paid.

This has led to more people seeking assistance thereby increasing the number of people needing assistance and invariably increasing the cost of these federal assistance programs.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete.</em>

<em />

<em>Sales (38,000 units)      $342,000     ($9.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Variable expenses        $228,000     ($6.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Contribution margin        $114,000     ($3.00 per unit)</em>

<em>Fixed expenses                $42,000 </em>

<em>Net operating income      $72,000</em>

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50

The units sold is now:

q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820

Then, the net operating income becomes:

NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190

Flauer [41]

Answer:

The computation is shown below:

Explanation:

a. The company overhead rate based on direct labor is

= Total Overheads ÷ Direct Labor Hours

= $1,048,000 ÷ 40,000

= $26.2 per hour

b) Overheads Rate using Activity Based Costing  is

= Cost ÷ Activity level

For  Order Processing, it is

= $226,800 ÷ 14,000 orders

= $16.2 per order

For setups, it is

=  $157850 ÷ 4,100 setup

= $38.5 per setup

For Milling, it is  

= $395,850 ÷ 20,300 machine hours

= $19.5 per machine hour

For Shipping

= $267,500 ÷ 25,000

= $10.7 per shipment

We simply applied the above formula so that the per unit could come

g Kaye's Kitchenware has a market/book ratio equal to 1. Its stock price is $12 per share and it has 5.2 million shares outstand
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

48.00%

Explanation:

For computing the debt to capital ratio, first we have to determine the equity value and debt value which is shown below:

Equity value = Number of outstanding shares × stock price per share

                    = 5.2 million shares × $12

                    = $62.4 million

We know,

Total capital = Debt + equity

$120 million = Debt + $62.4 million

So, the debt would be

= $120 million - $62.4 million

= $57.6 million

Now the debt to capital ratio would be

= $57.6 million ÷ $120 million

= 48.00%
