Answer:
70%
Explanation:
Margin of safety is the amount of sales a company makes in excess of the breakeven point
Margin of safety = (actual sales - break-even sales) / actual sales
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit /
$42000 / (42 -14) = 1500
(5000 - 1500) / 5000 = 70%

Answer: Decrease government revenue and decrease deadweight loss from the tax.
Explanation:
Decrease gov rev and decrease deadweight loss from the tax.
At AB, the government revenue will be:
= Quantity × Tax rate
= 1 × 5
= 5
The deadweight loss will be:
Deadweight Loss= 0.5 × Change in quantity × Change in Price
= 0.5 × (9-4) × (2-1)
= 0.5 × 5 × 1
= 2.5
At CD,
the government revenue will be:
= 1.5 × 2.5
= 3.75
The deadweight loss will be:
= 0.5 × (7.5-5) × (2-1.5)
= 0.5 × 2.5 × 0.5
= 0.625
Based on the calculation above, both the government revenue and the deadweight loss decreases.

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.65 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent per year, indefinitely. Investors require a return of 12 percent on the stock. a. What is the current price
Answer:
$24.7
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate D1
1.65(1+5/100)
1.65(1+0.05)
1.65(1.05)
=>1.73
Therefore the current price can be calculated as follows
= D1/required rate-growth rate
= 1.73/0.12-0.05
= 1.73/0.07
= 24.7
Hence the current price is $24.7
Bailey Corporation purchased a building on December 31, 2003 for $2,500,000. The building was placed in service on January 1, 2004 and was assumed to have an estimated useful life of 50 years and a zero salvage value. Bailey uses the straight line method for computing depreciation, and all applicable depreciation has been recorded through December 31, 2017. During 2018, an examination of the building by an engineering firm revealed that the remaining estimated useful life is now 15 years. What amount should Bailey record for building depreciation expense in 2018
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
The annual depreciation will be calculated as:
= Cost/Estimated Life
= 2500000/50
= 50000
The depreciation up to 2017 will be:
= 50000 × 14
= 700000
The book value at the end of 2017 will be:
= Cost - Depreciation up to 2017
= 2500000 - 700000
= 1800000
Then, the annual depreciation with the revised life will be:
= Book Value at the End of 2017/Remaining Life
= 1800000/15
= 120000
Therefore, the amount of depreciation for 2018 will be $120000
Sheffield Corp. has old inventory on hand that cost $21000. Its scrap value is $30000. The inventory could be sold for $70000 if manufactured further at an additional cost of $21000. What should Sheffield do?
Answer:
Sell the inventory for $30000 scrap value
Explanation:
In the first place, if the old inventory is disposed of at $30,000 and cash inflow of $30,000 would be received
However, if manufactured by further by incurring an additional cost of $21,000,the incremental income is computed thus:
incremental income=sales value-scrap value-additional cost
Remember scrap value is a lost benefit if the inventory is processed further and not sold in its current state.
incremental income=$70,000-$30,000-$21000
incremental income=$19,000(less than cash flow when disposed of at scrap value, hence, the inventory should be sold at $30,000)
Genius Professor Mullen Co. is using the Target Cost approach on a new product. Information gathered so far reveals: Expected annual sales (Market Sales) 400,000 units Desired profit per unit (DP) $0.25 Target cost (TC) $168,000 What is the Market Price (MP) per unit
Answer: $0.67 per unit
Explanation:
Find the target cost per unit:
= 168,000 / 400,000
= $0.42 per unit
If the desired profit is $0.25 and the target cost is $0.42, the market price per unit is:
= Desired profit + Target cost
= 0.25 + 0.42
= $0.67 per unit

Motors are assembled in a process with two resources. The first resource has a capacity of 2 motors per hour. The capacity of the second resource is 4.5 motors per hour. Demand for this process is 2.3 motors per hour.
Instruction: Round your answer to three decimal places.
What is the cycle time of this process (in minutes)? _______minutes
Answer: 26.1 minutes
Explanation:
The cycle time is calculated by the formula:
= Production time available / Desired output
Production time available = 1 hour as production is per hour.
1 hour = 60 minutes
Desired output is the demand per hour from the process
Cycle time = 60 / 2.3
= 26.1 minutes
Angel Toys is a producer of tiny dolls for children. Following is information about its revenue and cost structure: Assume that the current sales level is 14,000 dolls. What impact would a 10% increase in sales have on income
Answer: D. Income would increase by about 51%
Explanation:
Income before sales increase:
= Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
= (8 * 14,000 units) - ( (1.20 + 0.40) * 14,000 units) - (40,000 + 32,000)
= 112,000 - 22,400 - 72,000
= $17,600
Income after sales increase:
New sales = 14,000 * (1 + 10%) = 15,400 units
= (8 * 15,400) - ( (1.20 + 0.40) * 15,400) - (40,000 + 32,000)
= $26,560
Percentage increase:
= (26,560 - 17,600) / 17,600
= 50.9%
= 51%

2. How many units must Jay-Zee Company sell to break even? Prepare an income statement for the calculated number of units.
3. Calculate the number of units Jay-Zee Company must sell to achieve target operating income (profit) of $333,408.
4. What if the Jay-Zee Company wanted to achieve a target operating income of $322,000? Would the number of units needed increase or decrease compared to your answer in Requirement 3? Compute the number of units needed for the new target operating income.
Answer:
Jay-Zee Company
1. Sales commission per unit sold is:
= $16.
The Contribution margin per unit is:
= $184.
2. Break-even units are:
= 3,350 units
Income Statement for 3,350 units:
Sales revenue $1,072,000 ($320 * 3,350)
Variable cost of goods sold 455,600 ($136 * 3,350)
Contribution margin $616,400 ($184 * 3,350)
Fixed costs:
Factory overhead $500,000
Selling and administrative 116,400
Total fixed costs $616,400
Net operating income $0
3. Units to sell to achieve income of $333,408 are:
= 5,162 units
4. The number of units needed would decrease.
The number of units needed for the new target operating income is:
= 5,100 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Planned sales unit for the next year = 16,000
Sales price per unit = $320
Product costs:
Direct materials $68
Direct labor $40
Variable overhead $12
Total fixed factory overhead $500,000
Variable selling expense = $16 ($320 * 5%)
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $116,400
Total variable costs per unit = $136
Contribution margin per unit = $184 ($320 - $136)
Total fixed costs = $616,400 ($500,000 + $116,400)
To break-even, units to sell = $616,400/$184 = 3,350 units
Units to sell to achieve a profit target of $333,408:
= $616,400+ $333,408/$184
= 5,162 units
Units to sell to achieve a profit target of $333,408:
= $616,400+ $322,000/$184
= 5,100 units
Gillian reprimands an employee in front of his peers for speaking out of turn during a sales meeting. Which of the following types of reinforcement does this scenario demonstrate?
a. Extinction
b. Negative reinforcement
c. Positive reinforcement
d. Positive punishment
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: Negative reinforcement.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the field of behavioral psychology and business management the concept known as "Reinforcement" refers to the action or process of changing or keeping someone's behavior by the action of having an specific reaction that will be negative or positive accepted by the individual whose behavior we are looking to change or maintain. Therefore that the reinforcement is followed by a particular stimulus that the individual normally has when making the action that we want to change or keep.
The negative reinforcement refers to the process of producing a consequence with the purpose of avoiding or trying to stop certain stimulus so that the individual will stop that behavior in order to avoid the consequence.

There is often litter along highways but rarely in people's yards. Which of the following statements help explain this observation?
a. No one cares if there is litter on the highway
b. When a person litters along a highway, others bear the negative externality of having to clean it up.
c. Littering in your own yard imposes costs to you, so you are less likely to do it.
Answer:
b
c
Explanation:
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.

A steam boiler is needed as part of the design of a new plant. The boiler can be fired by natural gas, fuel oil, or coal. A cost analysis shows that natural gas would be the cheapest at $30,000; for fuel oil it would be $55,000; and for coal it would be $180,000. If natural gas is used rather than fuel oil, the annual fuel cost will decrease by $7,500. If coal is used rather than fuel oil, the annual fuel cost will be $15,000 per year less. Assuming 8% interest, a 20-year analysis period, and no salvage value, which is the most economincal installation?
Answer:
Natural gas boiler
Explanation:
Alternative Installation cost Annual savings
natural gas $30,000 $7,500
fuel oil $55,000 not given
coal $180,000 $15,000
we need to find the PV of natural gas savings = $7,500 * 9.8181 (PVIFA, 8%, 20 periods) = $73,638
the PV of coal savings = $15,000 - 9.8181 (PVIFA, 8%, 20 periods) = $147,272
NPV of natural gas boiler = $73,638 - $30,000 = $43,638
NPV of coal boiler = $147,272 - $180,000 = -$32,728
