Answer:

If Impala decides to buy from the external source , it would then save the fixed of $1,750

Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source

Explanation:

<em>To determine the appropriate course of action, we shall determine whether there would be a net savings in cash flow as a result of purchasing externally or not.</em>

The relevant cash flows figures include:

  1. Internal variable cost of production
  2. External purchase price
  3. Savings in internal; fixed cost as result of buying outside

Variable cost of internal production = 42,000 + 8,750 + 15,750 = 66,500

Increase in variable cost if purchased externally = 66500 - 66500 = 0

If Impala decides to buy from the external source , it would then save the fixed of $1,750

Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source

8090 [49]

Answer:

$3,270

Explanation:

The perpetual LIFO inventory costing method is one in which adjustments are made to the balance of inventory for every item issued or received in a sequence of last in first out.

Given that 10 units at $120 6 units February: 20 units at $125 5 units May: 15 units at $130 9 units September: 12 units at $135 8 units November: 10 units at $140 13 units On December 31, there were 26 units remaining in ending inventory.

The net inventory units  = 10 - 6 + 20 - 5 + 15 - 9 + 12 - 8 + 10 - 13

= 26 units

Since

January reminder (in value) = 10 - 6 ) $120 = $480

February remainder (in value) = (20 - 5) $125 = $1,875

May remainder =  (15 - 9) $130 = $780

September = 12 - 8) $135 = $540

In November 10 items were purchased but 13 were sold.The makeup of the items sold are the 10 purchased in the month and 3 out of the remaining 4 items left off from September. Hence the balance for  September will be

=$135

Cost of ending inventory

= $480 + $1,875 + $780 + $135

= $3,270

Problem 9-17 Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 14%. A share of s
aliina [53]

Answer:

The stock price at year end is $59.45

Explanation:

Given that:

risk-free rate of interest (r_f)= 4% = 0.04,

expected rate of return on the marketE(r_m) = 14% = 0.14

Beta (\beta) = 1.5

Dividends (D) = $6

Current price of stock P_o = $55

Therefore, the expected rate of return (E(r)) is given as:

E(r) = r_f +\beta (E(r_m)-r_f) = 0.04+1.5(0.14-0.04)=0.04+1.5(0.1)=0.19

The price of the stock at the end of the year (P_1) is given as:

E(r)=\frac{D+P_1-P_o}{P_o} \\0.19=\frac{6+P_1-55}{55} \\10.45=6+P_1-55\\P_1=10.45+55-6=59.45

P₁ = $59.45
