Answer:

Kim Inc.

The net advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is:

= $7,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                     Old Equipment     New Equipment  

Purchase price                                 $262,500              $450,000

Accumulated depreciation                  95,000               0  

Annual operating costs                     300,000                245,000

Total operating costs for 10 years 3,000,000             2,450,000

Salvage                                                 92,500             0

Total incremental cost                 $2,907,500           $2,900,000

b) The net advantage obtained by Kim for replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is $7,500 ($2,907,500 - $2,900,000).  Note that the purchase price of the old equipment with its accumulated depreciation are not relevant costs.  This case is worked out without taking into account the time value of money.  Assuming that the present value of the cash flows was computed, a different result and conclusion would be reached.

Answer:

(A) 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

(B) 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

(C) Margin of Safety 40% of Sales

Explanation:

(A)

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

275 - 150 = <u>125 CM per unit</u>

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

\frac{225,000}{125} = 1,800 = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

{units \: sold- BEP_{units} = margin \: of \: safety_{units}

3,000 - 1,800 = 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution per unit. Then the BEP in units and with that the margin of safety in units.

(B)

\frac{Contribution Margin}{Sales Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio

125/275 = 0.45454545 = <u>5/11 CM ratio</u>

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

225,000/(5/11) = 495,000 BEP USD

{current \:sales - BEP_{USD} = margin \: of \: safety

825,000-495,000 = 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution ratio by dividing CM over sales. Then the BEP in dollars and with that the margin of safety in dollars.

<em><u>Important:</u></em> When posible to avoid rounding errors express as fraction iof posible

(C)

\frac{current \:sales - BEP_{USD}}{current \:sales} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety

\frac{330,000}{825,000} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety

Margin of Safety 40%

The computation of Alice's consumer surplus is shown below:

Consumer surplus =  Willing to spend - Market price after considering the discount

where

Willing to spend = $30

Initial margin requirements are determined by:________
Goryan [66]

Answer:

b. the Federal Reserve System.

Explanation:

Initial margin refers to the deposit made by an investor with a broker, in order to open a margin account. The purpose of initial margin is security and collateral to ensure enough availability of cash in the trading account of the investor.

For instance an investor wants to purchase 4000 shares priced at 15$. In this case, he is supposed to deposit 50% of $60,000 i.e $30,000. The remaining $30,000 is contributed by the brokerage firm, regarded as borrowings on which the investor pays interest.

The initial margin limit is fixed by the Federal Reserve System.
