Apartments is a ​-unit apartment complex. When the apartments are​ 90% occupied, monthly operating costs total $220,040. Whe

n occupancy dips to​ 80%, monthly operating costs fall to $215,480. The owner of the apartment complex is worried because many of the apartment residents work at a nearby manufacturing plant that has just announced it will close in three months. The apartment owner fears that occupancy of her apartments will drop to 55​% if residents lose their jobs and move away. Assuming the same relevant​ range, what can the owner expect her operating costs to be if occupancy falls to ​55%?

Answer:

Missing word <em>"Use the​ high-low method to determine operating cost equation y=$_____, x + $ = ____" </em>

<em />

Cost on (800*90%)=720 units is 220,040

Cost on (800*80%) = 640 Units is 215,480

Variable cost per unit = Changes in total cost/High activity-low activity = 4560 / 80 = $57 per unit

Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost = 220,040 - (720*$57) = 220,040 - 41,040 = $179000

<u>Cost equation: </u>

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit

Y = 179000 + 57X

Y = 179000 + (57*440)

Y = $204,080

An investment has the following payment structure: 1,000 payable in one year, 1,000 payable in two years, and 1,000 payable in t
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: C. 7.3%

Explanation:

The yield rate is a weighted average of the yields over the years:

= [ (1 * 6%) + (2 * 7%) + (3 * 8%)] / ( 1 + 2 + 3)

= 44%/ 6

= 7.33%

= 7.3%

Bruin, Inc., has identified the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$ 37,500 –$ 37,50
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Year             Cash Flow (A)            Cash Flow (B)

0                      -37,500                      -37,500

1                         17,300                         5,700

2                        16,200                       12,900

3                        13,800                       16,300

4                         7,600                       27,500

1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

IRR project A = 20%

IRR project B = 19%

2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.

3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.

4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:

NPV project A = $6,331

NPV project B = $8,139

5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the  cash flows from B:

1      $11,600

2     $3,300

3    -$2,500

4   -$19,900

then we calculate the IRR = 16%

Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B

During September at Renfro Corporation, $65,000 of raw materials were requisitioned from the storeroom for use in production. Th
horrorfan [7]

Based on the amount of raw materials requisitioned, the journal entry to debit the Manufacturing Overhead would be $4,000.

<h3>What amount would be debited to manufacturing overhead?</h3>

The manufacturing overhead is for expenses that are not directly involved in the manufacturing process.

This is why it is the indirect material amount of $4,000 that will be debited to the manufacturing overhead account.

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 30%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expected return of the portfolio is weighted average of the return of the components.

E(R) = w1 * R1 + w2 * R2

E(R) = 65% * 18% + 35% * 6%

E(R) = 11.70% + 2.10%

Expected Return, E(R) = 13.80%

Standard deviation of portfolio is mathematically represented as:

\sigma =\sqrt{w_1^2\sigma _1^2+w_2^2\sigma _2^2+2w_1w_2p_{1,2}\sigma_1\sigma_2}

where

w1 = the proportion of the portfolio invested in Asset 1

w2 = the proportion of the portfolio invested in Asset 2

σ1 = Asset 1 standard deviation of return

σ2 = Asset 2 standard deviation of return

For risk free money market fund, standard deviation = 0 and its correlation with risky portfolio = 0

\sigma  =\sqrt{ (0.65 * 0.30)^2 + (0.35 * 0)^2 + (2 * 0.65 * 0.30*0.35 *0*0)} \\\\= \sqrt{0.038025 +0+0} \\\\ = 0.195

Standard deviation = 19.50%
