Answer:

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine.

Explanation:

<em>Differential Analysis</em>

Purchase cost of the new machine                                 (83,000)

Savings from annual variable cost(8500×8)                   68,000

Variable cost of running the new machine (5,000×8)   (40,000)

Scrap value of the old machine                                    <u>    56,300 </u>  

Differential savings                                                       <u>      1,300   </u>

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine. It is a past cost incurred as a result old decision.

If d0 = $1.75, g (which is constant) = 3.6%, and p0 = $40.00, what is the stock's expected total return for the coming year?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The answer is <u>"a. 8.13%".</u>

Explanation:

Given that;

d0 = $1.75

p0 = $40.00

g = 3.6% = 0.036

By using the formula;

Price of the stock = (Dividend this year)(1+g) ÷ (r - g)  

By putting the values;

40 = (1.75)(1+0.036) ÷ (r - 0.036)

r - 0.036 = (1.75)(1.036) ÷ 40

r - 0.036 = 1.813 ÷ 40

r - 0.036 = 0.045325

r = 0.045325 + 0.036

r = 0.081325 = 0.081325 x 100

<u>r = 8.13%</u>

Odonnel Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-ho
natima [27]

Answer:

$6.40

Explanation:

In this case, the predetermined overhead rate is calculated by dividing total manufacturing overhead expense by the total number of direct labor hours. The overhead expense is divided in two: fixed and variable. Predetermined variable overhead expense is $2.80 and predetermined fixed overhead expense = $36,000 / 10,000 direct labor hours = $3.60.

So the total predetermined overhead rate = $2.80 + $3.60 = $6.40

All of the following statements are true regarding earnings per common share (EPS) except:
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d) EPS cannot be calculated if a company has no preferred stock.

Explanation:

The above statement is untrue about E.P.S because the reason why 'Preferred dividend' (which is dividend on preference shares)  is subtracted from Net Income, before being divided by the 'Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding' is for comparability.

Since the denominator is based on 'common shares' or 'ordinary shares', it makes sense not to include the part of income that has fallen to preferred shares.

As a matter of fact there are a lot of companies that do not have preferred stock and still report Earnings Per Share on their financial statements.

Finally, still on comparability; E.P.S helps to compare the performance of big companies that have preferred stock with small companies that do not have. Hence EPS can be calculated even when there is no preferred stock.
