Answer:

A. $21,200,000

B. $20,800,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends

Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Opportunity cost of funds)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)

Let plug in the formula

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.06)]÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.06)]÷0.02

Value of the firm= $424,000 ÷ 0.02

Value of the firm= $21,200,000

Therefore The instant before it pays out current profits as dividends will be $21,200,000

B. Calculation to determine The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends

Using this formula

Value of the firm =[(Current profits) × (1 +Constant growth annual rate)} ÷ (Opportunity cost of funds - Constant growth annual rate)

Let plug in the formula

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1 + 0.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= [($400,000) × (1.04)] ÷ (0.06 - 0.04)

Value of the firm= $416,000 ÷ 0.02

Value of the firm= $20,800,000

Therefore The instant after it pays out current profits as dividends will be $20,800,000

Product X-547 is one of the joint products in a joint manufacturing process. Management is considering whether to sell X-547 at
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

b. 1,2,3,4

Explanation:

Lets first understand what relevant cost is? Relevant cost is any cost that influences the decision of a decision maker. Therefore, the first four items are relevant in the decision of whether to sell the X-547 or to further process it.

Explanation for each item is as follows:

1- Selling price of X-547:

The selling price is relevant because it will help to determine the revenue generated from selling X-547 at the split off point and which could also be used for comparative purposes, if suppose the decision of further processing is chosen.

2- Variable cost of processing X-547 into Xylene:

The variable cost of processing X-547 is indeed relevant too, because at this stage management is not in a position to take a decision until they explore the possibilities coming out of processing X-547, therefore, in order to come to a decision making position the management will need to know the variable cost of processing X-547, making it relevant in the decision.

3- The avoidable fixed costs of processing X-547 into Xylene:

There is sometimes a fear (i.e fear of increase in step-fixed costs as a result of processing a product or fear of loss of control over costs) felt by the management when trying to process certain products for further development therefore those fixed costs which can be avoided during processing X-547 can also influence (i.e encourage) the decision of further processing X-547, making it relevant.

4- The selling price of Xylene:

The last but not the least, the selling price of Xylene. If the management finds that if X-547 is further processed into Xylene and it sells at a highly favorable/lucrative price, creating a huge margin for them then definitely they would be encouraged to taking the decision of further processing it.

Explanation:

This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.

Perfectly Competitive Industry

This is simply an industry where producers are said to be price takers.

Explicit Costs

These are costs that are simply known as "out-of-pocket" costs or in accounting costs. They are an individual's fixed and variable costs of doing business.

Implicit Costs

These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.

It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.
