Answer:

(a) This year's net operating income would be $1,153,000.

(b) Net operating income will decrease by $107,000 over last year.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete, the complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Feather Friends, Inc., distributes a high-quality wooden birdhouse that sells for $120 per unit. Variable expenses are $60.00 per unit, and fixed expenses total $180,000 per year. Its operating results for last year were as follows:

<u>Particulars                           Amount ($)  </u>

Sales                                   2,880,000

Variable expenses           <u> (1,440,000) </u>

Contribution margin           1,440,000

Fixed expenses                <u>   (180,000) </u>

Net operating income     <u> 1,260,000 </u>

The sales manager is convinced that a 11% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $71,000 increase in advertising, would increase this year's unit sales by 25%.

Required:

(a) If the sales manager is right, what would be this year's net operating income if his ideas are implemented? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

(b) If the sales manager's ideas are implemented, how much will net operating income increase or decrease over last year

Explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

(a) If the sales manager is right, what would be this year's net operating income if his ideas are implemented? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

This year’s selling price per unit = Last year’s selling price per unit * (100% - Percentage of reduction) = $120 * (100% - 11%) = $120 * 89% = $106.80

Last year’s unit sales = Last year’s sales / Last year’s selling price = $2,880,000 / $120 = 24,000 units

This year’s unit sales = Last year’s unit sales * (1 + Percentage increase) = 24,000 + (1 + 25%) = 30,000 units

This year’s sales = This year’s unit sales * This year’s selling price per unit = 30,000 * $106.80 = $3,204,000

This year’s variable expenses = This year’s unit sales * Variable expenses per unit = 30,000 * $60.00 = 1,800,000

Its operating results for this year will be as follows:

<u>Particulars                                          Amount ($)    </u>                        

Sales                                                    3,204,000

Variable expenses                            <u> (1,800,000) </u>

Contribution margin                             1,404,000

Increase in selling expenses                  (71,000)

Fixed expenses                                 <u>    (180,000)  </u>

Net operating income                      <u>   1,153,000   </u>

Therefore, this year's net operating income would be $1,153,000.

(b) If the sales manager's ideas are implemented, how much will net operating income increase or decrease over last year

Decrease in net operating income = Last year's net operating income - This year's net operating income = $1,260,000 - $1,153,000 = $107,000

Therefore, net operating income will decrease by $107,000 over last year.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Therefore the constant rate of new machine should be 30 units per hour.

Explanation:

Given that,

Company C has a machine that, working alone at its constant rate.

In 5 hours it produced 100 units certain product.

In 1 hour it produced (100÷5) units certain product.

                                     =20 units.

So,the constant rate of this machine is 20 units per hours.

Company C buys a new machine.

If two machine are working together,

In 2 hours, they produces 100 units.

In 1 hour, they produces (100÷2) units=50 units.

The constant rate of both machines is 50 units per hours.

Since first machine produces 20 unit per hour.

Then, the new machine produces =(50-20) =30 units per hour.

Therefore the constant rate of new machine should be 30 units per hour.

The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a
zepelin [54]

Answer:

a. $700,000

b. 6/7 or 85.7%

c. No they will not.

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.

Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs

= 1,000,000 - 400,000

= $600,000

Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income

= 100,000 + 600,000

= $700,000

b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.

Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.

Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = \frac{Economic rent}{Jacobs annual earning}

= \frac{600,000}{700,000}

= 6/7 or 85.7%

c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.

wariber [46]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In industry, inventory buildups are cancelled with increased sales and marketing activities, which attract rewards and punishments.  This is why it is always a taboo to observe idle workers.  Idle workers cost the entity much in expenses.  Workers are employed based on productivity and profitability indexes.  There is no business entity that employs workers for the fun of employment.
