a-1) Margin of safety is:
= $256,500.
a-2) Margin of safety is:
= 55%.
b) The amount of actual sales is:
= $5,677,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Break-even point sales = $313,500
Actual sales = $570,000
Margin of safety = $256,500 ($570,000 - $313,500)
Margin of safety as a percentage of sales = 55% ($313,500/$570,000 * 100)
2) Margin of safety = 25%
Fixed costs = $1,419,375
Break-even point in sales dollars = $1,419,375
Variable costs = 75% of sales
Contribution margin at break-even point = 25% (100% - 75%) = $1,419,375
Actual sales in dollars = $5,677,500 ($1,419,375/25%)
Samir is a self-employed marketing consultant. He had no income from January through March 2020. His April through December 2020 income subject to SE tax is $55,000.
Samir's SE tax for 2020 is $7,771 [$55,000 x 0.9235 x 0.153 = $7,771]. Samir may reduce his estimated tax payments by how much? Hint: USE Form Schedule SE to help you find the answer.
Answer:
$3,886
Explanation:
Since SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX is 15.3% of your wages which is why the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) make it possible for you to deduct your employer equal portion of your self employment taxes that the employer pays during the year which is 7.65% Calculated as (15.3%/2) which therefore means that Samir may reduce his ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS by $3,886 [$55,000 x 0.9235 x 0.0765 = $3,886] while the remaining 7.65%( 15.3% -7.65%) are not deductible because they correspond to employee taxes.
Therefore he may reduce his ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS by $3,886.

Answer:
gain surplus from paying a lower price
Explanation:
An effective price ceiling will cause consumers to "gain surplus from paying a lower price."
This is based on the idea that an effective price ceiling usually leads to prices being below the equilibrium price or equates to a lower price.
At this point, the buyers demand more of the products, while the sellers have a lower incentive to produce more. And therefore, the quantity demanded will exceed the quantity supplied.
Hence, consumers gain excess (more demands) by paying a lower price.
Smith Construction,Inc.just paid a $2.78 dividend.The dividend is expected to grow by 4% each year for the next three years.After that the company will never pay another dividend ever again.If your required return on the stock investment is 10%,what should the stock sell for today?
A) $7.46
B) $28.91
C) $46.33
D) $15.63
Answer:
A) $7.46
Explanation:
The computation of the stock sell for today is given below:
D1 = 2.78 × (1.04)
= 2.89
D2 = 2.89 × (1.04)
= 3.01
D3 = 3.01 × (1.04) = 3.13
Now the price of the stock is
= 2.89 ÷ (1.1) + 3.01 ÷ (1.1)^2 + 3.13 ÷ (1.1)^3
= $7.46
hence, the correct option is a.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,080,000, and it would cost another $19,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $626,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $436,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%. Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
What is the Year-0 net cash flow?
Answer:
$1,117,500
Explanation:
The net cash flow required immediately( year zero) to get the project underway comprises the sprayer's base price, its installation cost as well as the net working capital of $18,500.
The above-highlighted items are the ones cash outflows required in year zero while other ones are cash inflows or outflows required subsequently.
The net cash flow in year zero is computed thus:
Year-0 net cash flow=$1,080,000+$19,000+ $18,500
Year-0 net cash flow=$1,117,500

Working
FICA = Social security
State unemployment taxes payable = 5.4% * 32,000 = $1,728
Federal unemployment taxes payable = 0.8% * 32,000 = $256
Payroll tax expense = 13,824 + 3,840 + 1,728 + 256 = $19,648
The Cullumber Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $65 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,000 per month
Utilities $1,000 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $1,508 per month
Maid service $13 per room
Other costs $26 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
a. Breakeven point in number of rented rooms:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Fixed cost = Salaries per month + Utilities + Depreciation + Maintenance
= 7,000 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 1,508
= $10,608
Contribution margin:
= Rent price - Maid service - Other costs
= 65 - 13 - 26
= $26
Breakeven point in rented rooms:
= 10,608 / 26
= 408 rooms
b. Breakeven point in dollars:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
= 10,608 / (26 / 65)
= 10,608 / 40%
= $26,520
ABC Corp. issued $100,000 of bonds at a premium; as a result, the company: A. received more than $100,000. B. received less than $100,000. C. will pay the bondholders more money on the maturity date than it received on the issue date. D. received $100,000.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount. Bond issuers would receive less than the face value of the bond as payment when the bond is sold
If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium. Bond issuers would receive a greater sum than the face value of the bond as payment when the bond is sold
If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par. Bond issuers would receive an amount equal to the face value of the bond as payment when the bond is sold

Answer: Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question
answer:
a) Cs = 800,000 , Ps = 1,500,000
b) Cs = 1437500, Ps = 525,000
Explanation:
Demand function ( Qd ) = 200,000 - 4000 P
supply function ( Qs ) = 20,000 + 2000 P
at equilibrium : 200,000 - 4000P = 20,000 + 2000P
therefore ; P = 180,000 / 6000 = 30
Q = 20,000 + 2000 ( 30 ) = 80,000
a) Determine consumer and producer surplus in the market
consumer surplus ( Cs ) This is the area above the price and below the demand curve = 1/2 * ( 50 - 30 ) 80,000 = 800,000
producer surplus ( Ps ) This is the area above supply and below price
= 30 * ( 80,000 ) - 1/2 (80,000 - 20,000 ) (30)
= 1,500,000
b) Determine the new levels of consumer and producer surplus with a price ceiling of $15
Pc (ceiling price ) = $15
Qd = 200,000 - 4000 ( 15 ) = 140,000
Qs = 20,000 + 2000 ( 15 ) = 50,000
∴ New consumer surplus = area ( a , Pc, b, d )
= ( 30 - 15 ) (50,000) + 1/2(50-30) (80,000) - 1/2 (80,000 - 50,000 ) (37.5 - 30)
= 1437500
New producer surplus = area ( Pc , b, e 0 )
= ( 15 ) ( 50000) - 1/2 ( 50,000 - 20,000 ) (15)
= 525,000

________ refers to a method of matching a single project of a company to another company with a single business focus in an effort to assign an appropriate level of risk to the project. A. Outside assignment B. Ghosting C. Subjective assignment D. Pure play
The method that should be matched the individual project of a company to the other company having an individual business focus for allocating a risk level is pure-play.
The information related to the pure-play is as follows:
It is to be focused on one business line only.It is distinct from the expanded companies where there are diversify product lines and revenue sources. It determined the beta coefficient because it compared to the other project as an individual business focus.So it cannot be as the outside assignment, ghosting, and subjective assignment.
Therefore we can conclude that the method that should be matched the individual project of a company to the other company having an individual business focus for allocating a risk level is a pure-play.

XZYY, Inc. currently has an issue of bonds outstanding that will mature in 16 years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a stated annual coupon rate of 13.0% with annual coupon payments. The bond is currently selling for $1,176. The bonds may be called in 3 years for 113.0% of the par value. What is your expected quoted annual rate of return if you buy the bonds and hold them until maturity
Answer: 10.66%
Explanation:
The expected quoted annual rate of return when the bonds are bought and being held until maturity will be calculated thus:
Coupon payment = 1000 × 13% = 130
The Yield to Maturity formula will be:
= Rate(maturity period, coupon payment, -price, fave value)
= Rate(16, 130, -1176, 1000)
Yield to Maturity = 10.66%
Therefore, the expected quoted annual rate of return is 10.66%.

Bluegill Company sells 14,000 units at $240 per unit. Fixed costs are $168,000, and operating income is $1,176,000. Determine the following:
a. Variable cost per unit.
b. Unit contribution margin.
c. Contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
a. Variable cost per unit:
= (Sales - Fixed costs - Operating income) / number of units sold
= ((14,000 units * 240) - 168,000 - 1,176,000) / 14,000
= 2,016,000 / 14,000
= $144 per unit
b. Unit contribution margin:
= Selling price - Variable cost per unit
= 240 - 144
= $96
c. Contribution margin ratio:
= Unit contribution margin / Selling price
= 96 / 240
= 40%
An owner can lease her building for $160,000 per year for three years. The explicit cost of maintaining the building is $55,000, and the implicit cost is $70,000. All revenues are received, and costs borne, at the end of each year. If the interest rate is 5 percent, determine the present value of the stream of:_______.
a. Accounting profits.
b. Economic profits.
Answer:
a. Accounting profits.
Account profit = Revenue - explicit cost
= 160,000 - 55,000
= $105,000
Present value of $105,000 per year for 3 years is:
= 105,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%
= 105,000 * 2.7232
= $285,936
b. Economic profit
Economic profit = Revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost
= 160,000 - 55,000 - 70,000
= $35,000
Present value of $35,000 per year for 3 years:
= 35,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%
= 35,000 * 2.7232
= $95,312
Note: The profits were treated as annuities as they were constant.
