This firm is currently operating at 84 percent of capacity. All costs and net working capital vary directly with sales. The tax

rate, the profit margin, and the dividend payout ratio will remain constant. How much additional debt is required if no new equity is raised and sales are projected to increase by 12 percent?

Answer:

Most of the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

<em>The Steel Mill is currently operating at 84 percent of capacity. Annual sales are $28,400 and net income is $2,250. The firm has current liabilities of $2,700, long-term debt of $9,800, net fixed assets of $16,900, net working capital of $5,000, and owners' equity of $12,100. All costs and net working capital vary directly with sales. The tax rate and profit margin will remain constant. The dividend payout ratio is constant at 40 percent. How much additional debt is required if no new equity is raised and sales are projected to increase by 12 percent?</em>

<em></em>

if the firm is operating at full capacity, then it will need to raise new debt:

EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))

A/S = $24,600 / $28,400 = 0.866

ΔSales = $28,400 x 12% = $3,408

L/S = $2,700 / $28,400 = 0.095

PM = $2,250 / $28,400 = 0.079

FS = $28,400 x 1.12 = $31,808

(1 - d) = 1 - 40% = 0.6

EFN = (0.866 x $3,408) - (0.095 x $3,408) - (0.079 x $31,808 x 0.6)  = $2,951.33 - $323.76 - $1,507.70 = $1,119.87

but if the firm is operating only at 84% (16% spare capacity), then it will not need to raise new debt:

EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))

A/S = $7,700 / $28,400 = 0.271

since there is 16% of spare capacity, no new fixed assets will be required

ΔSales = $28,400 x 12% = $3,408

L/S = $2,700 / $28,400 = 0.095

PM = $2,250 / $28,400 = 0.079

FS = $28,400 x 1.12 = $31,808

(1 - d) = 1 - 40% = 0.6

EFN = (0.271 x $3,408) - (0.095 x $3,408) - (0.079 x $31,808 x 0.6)  = $923.57 - $323.76 - $1,507.70 = -$907.89

<span>Reduction in a nation's labor force would long-run aggregate supply curse to the left, representing a reduction in labor. This would tend to drive up labor costs over time. Presumably, the demand curve would remain static in the short-term. However, such a reduction would also impact the nation's consumption and thereby reduce the demand for products. This would in turn drive a decreased demand for labor (leftward shift) and apply downward pressure to wages. The answer to this depends on whether the questions is regarding short-term, medium-term or long-term labor supply/demand curve.</span>

Match each value with its type.
lozanna [386]

<u>Answer: </u>

The following are the values with their correct matches

Pays medical bills - Liability coverage.

Pays damages to your car - Collision coverage.

Pays damages to the other car - Pays 0% damages to the other car.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Medical expenses are termed as a liability coverage because they certainly cannot be ignored as one cannot choose to risk his health.
  • The payment done for the repairing of a car damaged due to collision is termed as collision coverage.
  • One would choose to not spend on the repairing of the other car when one car is in good condition.

Assume MIX Inc. has sales volume of $1,342,000 for two products with May sales and contribution margin ratios as follows:
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Instructions are below,

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A: Sales $514,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%

Product B: Sales $828,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%

fixed expenses are $338,000

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:

Total CM= CM Product A + CM Product B

Total CM= 514,000*0.3 + 828,000*0.6= $651,000

The operating income is calculated deducting from the total contribution margin the fixed costs:

Operating income= 651,000 - 338,000= 313,000

The average weighted contribution margin is calculated using the contribution margin ratio per product and the sales mix.

Sales mix:

Product A= 514,000/1,342,000= 0.38

Product B= 828,000/1,342,000= 0.62

Weighted average contribution= contribution margin ratio*sales mix

Product A= 0.3*0.38= 0.114

Product B= 0.6*0.62= 0.372

Total= 0.486

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.486= 48.6%

Finally, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (units)= 338,000/ 0.486= $695,473.25
