Dmitri lives in Houston and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling guitars. O

f this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Dmitri does not operate this guitar business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.
Identify each of Charles's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.

a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor

Answer:

Implicit costs are opportunity costs. They are the cost of the next best alternative that one could have taken from the one they took.

Explicit costs are normal accounting costs which represent the expenses involved in running a business.

a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays. EXPLICIT COSTS.

These are normal accounting expenses so they are explicit costs.

b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer. EXPLICIT COSTS.

Another cost of doing business so this is explicit as well.

c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom. IMPLICIT COST.

By not renting out his showroom and using it instead, he is losing the rental income he could be making so this is an implicit cost.

d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor. IMPLICIT COST.

Another income he could be making if he wasn't selling guitars. This make it an implicit cost.

Billabong Tech uses the internal rate of return​ (IRR) to select projects. Calculate the IRR for each of the following projects
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Project t shirt IRR = 33.69%

Project board short IRR = 37.39%

I would recommend project board short because its IRR is higher.

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

For Project​ T-Shirt ,

Cash flow in year 0 = -$17,333

Cash flow each year from year one to four = $8,500

IRR = 33.69%

Project Board Shorts,

Cash flow in year 0 = -$27,667

Cash flow each year from year one to five = $13,000

IRR = 37.39%

Project Board Shorts would be chosen because its IRR is higher than that of the other project.

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

I hope my answer helps you

A cylindrical part of diameter d is loaded by an axial force p. this causes a stress of pya, where a 5 pd2y4. if the load is kno
raketka [301]

Here is the correct question.

A cylindrical part of diameter d is loaded by an axial force p. this causes a stress of P/A, where A= πd²/4. if the load is known with an uncertainty of ±10 percent, the diameter is known within ±5 percent (tolerances), and the stress that causes failure (strength) is known within ±15 percent, determine the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail.

Answer:

the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail. = 1.434

Explanation:

Looking at the uncertainty; loss of strength must be raised to \dfrac{1}{0.85} due to the stress that causes the failure (strength)  is known within ±15% uncertainty.

Looking at the uncertainty; the maximum allowable load  must be reduced to \dfrac{1}{1.1} because the load is known with an uncertainty of ±10.

Looking at the uncertainty; the diameter must be raised to \dfrac{1}{0.95}  because the diameter is known within an uncertainty of ±5.

The decrease in the maximum allowable stress can be estimated as:

\sigma' = \dfrac{P'}{A'}

where,

\sigma = stress

P = load

A = cross-sectional area of the cylinder

∴

\sigma' = \dfrac{P'}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(d')^2}

replacing P' with \dfrac{1}{1.1}P   and d' with \dfrac{1}{0.95}d, we have:

\sigma' = \dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{1.1})\times p }{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(\dfrac{1}{0.95 } d)^2 }

\sigma' =\dfrac{P}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2} (\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{1.1} }{(\dfrac{1}{0.95})^2 }) }

\sigma' =\sigma \times (\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{1.1} }{(\dfrac{1}{0.95})^2 }) }

\sigma' =\sigma \times 0.82045

\dfrac{\sigma' }{\sigma } =0.82045

Thus, the uncertainty in diameter and the load of the allowable stress needs to decrease to 0.82045

Now, the minimum design factor that will ascertain that the part will not fail can be computed as:

n_d = \dfrac{loss  \ of  \ function \  parameter }{maximum \  allowable \ parameter}

where;

the design factor = n_d

n_d =\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{0.85} }{0.82045}

the design factor  n_d = 1.434.

Thus,  the minimum design factor that will guarantee that the part will not fail. = 1.434

liq [111]

Answer:

Worthy Ships:

Treasury Stock account balance would be $80,000.

Explanation:

Treasury Stock account is a contra account to the Common Stock account.  Using the cost method, the account will have a debit entry and balance of $400,000 in 2023.  In 2024, with the resale of shares, the account will have a credit entry of $320,000.  This would bring the balance to $80,000 at the end of 2024.

Problem 14-13 Calculating the WACC [LO3] Dinklage Corp. has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share pric
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

WACC = 8.97%

Explanation:

total value of equity = $70 x 4,000,000 = $280,000,000

cost of equity:

$70 = $4.4935 / (Re - 4.5%)

Re - 4.5% = 6.42%

Re = 10.92%

total value of debt:

$75 million x 0.95 = $71,250,000

YTM = {70 + [(1,000 - 950)/25]} / [(1,000 + 950)/2] = 72 / 975 = 7.3846%

$60 million x 1.07 = $64,200,000

YTM = {60 + [(1,000 - 1,070)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,070)/2] = 51.25 / 1,035 = 4.9517%

weighted cost of debt = ($71,250,000 / $135,450,000 x 7.3846%) + ($64,200,000 / $135,450,000 x 4.9517%) = 3.8845% + 2.347% = 6.2315%

total value of the firm = $280,000,000 + $135,450,000 = $415,450,000

equity weight = $280,000,000 / $415,450,000 = 0.674

debt weight = 1 - 0.674 =  0.326

WACC = (0.674 x 10.92%) + (0.326 x 6.2315% x 0.79) = 7.36% + 1.605% = 8.965% = 8.97%
