Answer and Explanation:

a. The profit margin for both chairs & decks is

But before that following calculations need to be done

Particulars           Chairs              Decks

Sales revenue  $1,046,500     $1,950,000

Less:

Direct material   $585,000      $810,000

Direct labor        $130,000       $300,000

overhead             $195,000      $450,000

                     ($645,000 × $130,000 ÷ $430,000)  

Gross profit         $136,500     $390,000

Now the profit margin is

For chairs

= $136,500 ÷ ($585,000 + $130,000 + $195,000)

= 15%

ANd, for decks

= $390,000 ÷ ($810,000 + $300,000 + $450,000)

= 25%

a-2. based on the profit margin, the chairs should be dropped

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each bottle is sold for $5. The company recently had the following costs to produce 12,000 units of its product during August:

(1) Rent of $5,000 on a billboard to help advertise the product

(2) Rent on factory and equipment of $8,000

(3) Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers $24,000

(4) Tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles $18,000

(5) Total payroll for salaried, administrative staff $6,000

The company sold 8,000 units.

A) First, we need to calculate the total and unitary cost of production:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + factory overhead

Total cost= tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles + Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers + Rent on factory and equipment

Total cost= 18,000 + 24,000 + 8,000

TC= 50,000

Unitary cost= 50,000/12,000= $4.17 per bottle

Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= unitary cost* units sold= 4.17*8,000= $33,360

B) Income statement:

Sales= 8,000*5= 40,000

COGS= (33,360)

Gross profit= 6,640

Selling expense= (5,000)

Administrative expense= (6,000)

Net operating income= (4,360)

C) Inventory= unitary cost* ending inventory in units

Inventory= 4.17*4,000= $16,680

A stock has a required return of 11%; the risk-free rate is 7%; and the market risk premium is 4%.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The Beta is 1

The required return increases to 13%

Explanation:

The formula for required return is given below:

Required Return = Risk-Free Rate of Return + β(Market Return – Risk-Free Rate of Return)

required return is 11%

risk-free rate of return=7%

Beta is unknown

market return-risk free rate of return is market risk premium is 4%

11%=7%+beta(4%)

11%-7%=beta*4%

4%=beta*4%

beta=4%/4%

beta=1

If the market risk premium increased to 6%,required return is calculated thus:

required return=7%+1(6%)

required return =13%

This implies that the riskier the stock, the higher the market risk premium, the higher the required return to investors.
