The largest and most expensive social welfare programs in America are Social Security and Medicare. Medicare receives the funding the most, and it is not tested program while the social security is the example of entitlement. The Social Security Act of 1935 brought government into the equation of the obligations of one generation to another.

what is the present value of a deferred perpetuity that pays $141 annually with the first payment occurring at year 5? assume th
yKpoI14uk [10]

The present value of a deferred perpetuity is $1,938.89.

What is present value?
The present value of a prospective sum of money or cash flow stream given a specified return rate is known as its present value (PV). The present value of future cash flows is reduced by the discount rate, and the higher coupon rate, the lower the present value of future cash flows. The key to correctly valuing future cash flows, whether they are earnings or debt obligations, is determining the appropriate discount rate. The concept of present value states that a quantity of funds today is worth greater than the same amount in the long term. In other words, money gained in the long term is not as valuable as money received today.

The present value of a deferred perpetuity that pays $141 annually with the first payment occurring at year 5 is $1,938.89. This can be calculated by taking the present value of an ordinary annuity formula, which is PV = A / (1 + r)^n, and adding 5 to n. This gives the equation PV = A / (1 + r)^(n + 5), which can be simplified to PV = A / (1 + r)^n * (1 + r)^5. Thus, the present value is $141 / (1 + 0.06)^10 * (1 + 0.06)^5, which equals $1,938.89.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

  1. $25.50
  2. 90,000 units
  3. 140,000 units

Explanation:

1. Current contribution margin ratio

= (Selling price - Variable cost)/ Selling price

= (25 - 19.8) / 25

= 0.208

New Direct labor = 5.0 * ( 1 + 8%)

= $5.40

New variable cost = 19.8 + 0.4 = $20.20

To maintain 0.208

0.208 = (Selling price - 20.20) / Selling price

0.208 * Price = Price - 20.20

0.208Price - Price = -20.20

-0.792Price = -20.20

Price = -20.20/-0.792

Price = $25.50

2. Breakeven = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin

Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= 25 - 19.8

= $5.20

= 468,000/5.2

= 90,000 units

3. To earn $260,000;

= (Fixed Cost + 260,000) / Contribution margin

= (468,000 + 260,000) /5.2

= 140,000 units

Answer:

the bus company should  decrease price to increase revenues.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

percentage change in price = 1.21 / 0.99 - 1 = 0.222 = 22%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 169 / 433 = -0.6097 = - 60.97%

Elasticity of demand = 60.97% /  22% = 2.77

Demand is elastic, so if price in reduced, there would be a rise in quantity demanded that would exceed the rise in price. This would increase revenues

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for S25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1A. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.

  • CM ratio = 2.5
  • break even point = 21,000 balls

1B. Compute the degree of operating leverage at last year.

  • 31.82%

2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable expenses will increase by $3 per ball next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25, what will be the new CM ratio and break-even point in balls?

  • CM ratio = 3.57
  • break even point = 30,000 balls

3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, last year?

  • 42,858 balls

4. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

  • new price of $28 per ball

5. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company's new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

  • CM = 1.32
  • 26,250 balls

6.a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?

  • 31,875 balls

6.b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Income Statement

Total revenue $750,000

Variable expenses <u>($270,000) </u>

Contribution margin $480,000

Fixed expenses <u>($420,000 )</u>

Net operating income $60,000

Degree of operating leverage = 60.87%

6.c. If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant?

  • If you cannot avoid paying the salary raise, then the company needs to carry on the new plant project.

Explanation:

sales price per ball = $25

variable expenses: $15 per unit

  • direct labor $9
  • other variable costs $6

CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $300,000 = 2.5

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $10 = 21,000 balls

degree of operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $210,000 / $660,000 = 31.82%

new CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $210,000 = 3.57

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $7 = 30,000 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($210,000 + $90,000) / $7 = 42,857.14 ≈ 42,858 balls

CM ratio (new plant) = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $570,000 = 1.32

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $420,000 / $16 = 26,250 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($420,000 + $90,000) / $16 = 31,875 balls
