2. An electronics manufacturing firm is currently manufacturing resistors that have a variable cost of $0.50 per unit and a sell

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a. Should the firm buy the new equipment?

no, because operating profit will decrease

b. What is the minimum price the company would have to charge in order for the new equipment to be worth purchasing (assuming the higher or lower price doesn’t affect the 500,000 unit volume)?

$1.02 per unit

Explanation:

contribution margin per unit = $0.50

total units sold = 300,000

fixed costs = $100,000

operating income = (300,000 x $0.50) - $100,000 = $50,000

if the firm improves the quality of their products:

contribution margin per unit = $0.40

total units sold = 500,000

fixed costs = $160,000

operating income = (500,000 x $0.40) - $160,000 = $40,000

if you want to keep operating income at $50,000 then minimum sales price should be:

500,000 = $210,000 / contribution margin

contribution margin = $210,000 / 500,000 = $0.42

sales price = contribution margin + variable costs = $0.42 + $0.60 = $1.02 per unit

Morgan is going to give a presentation on how to prepare a tax return. Which of the following would constitute a suitable thesis

sasho [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Preparing a tax return is a fairly simple process, if you know what documents you need.

Explanation:

Terror should not be imposed on people, due to the complexity that in some cases merits the professional advice of an accountant. For this reason, the best thesis that Morgan can use is to make them see that the process does not really involve excessive efforts if you have all the information at hand. The basic premise in tax matters is the organization, the basic knowledge of the standard ensures important levels of trust.

Frank is lending $1,000 to Sarah for two years. Frank and Sarah agree that Frank should earn a 2 percent real return per year. I

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

a. 23%.

b. Frank should charge Sarah 2% more than the inflation rate.

Explanation:

a. Find the nominal rate of interest.

To find this value we must follow this equation:

$NI=RI+IR$

Where NI = Nominal Interest, RI= Real Interest, and IR= Inflation Rate.

a.1. Find the real interest rate.

The problem statement gives us this value: 2% real return per year, as agreed by Sarah and Frank.

a.2. Find the inflation rate.

Here we follow this equation:

$IR=(\frac{CPI_{F} -CPI_{B} }{CPI_{B} } )*100$

Where:

CPI(F) is the CPI of the final year, in this case, it would be 121 (the expected CPI for two years, which is the established loan time).

CPI (B) is the CPI of the base year, that is, the CPI in force at the time that Frank makes the loan, 100 in this case.

We replace these values:

$IR=(\frac{121-100}{100} )*100$

$IR=(\frac{21}{100} )*100$

$IR=0.21*100$

$IR=21%$

The inflation rate equals 21%.

a.3. Replace in the equation of the nominal rate of interest.

$NI=RI+IR$

$NI=0.02+0.21$

$NI=0.23$

So, the nominal rate of interest Frank should charge Sarah equals 23%.

b. Find out how much Frank should charge Sarah (regarding inflation and considering that it is unknown).

The inflation rate reduces the return expected by Frank. Therefore, the nominal interest rate charged must be higher than the inflation rate, in order to ensure a positive real returns. In this case, since it is not known exactly what that inflation rate is, Frank must charge 2% (expected return) above what the inflation rate can record.

Hence, the short answer is: Frank should charge Sarah 2% more than the inflation rate.

The type of selection methods which are used to narrow down a list of finalists to those who will receive job offers is called Discretionary Method.

Picking from a list of universities one would like to attend is the hardest decision to make. However, it is crucial to take into account a number of criteria while selecting the best decision. When you have a long list of options, the registrars will find it simple to advise you on which is best.

If you chance to acquire numerous admissions from all the choices you had made, it is also up to you to make an easy pick. So always choose the greatest option available.
