Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the sales proportion of each product:
Regular= 12,000,000/22,720,000= 0.53
Deluxe= 10,720,000/22,720,000= 0.47
Now, we will determine the break-even point for the company as a whole:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Total fixed costs= 2,160,000 + 1,702,400= $3,862,400
Unitary contribution margin:
Regular= 4,800,000/100,000= $48
Delux= 4,288,000/20,000= $214.4
Weighted average contribution margin= (0.53*48) + (0.47*214.4)
Weighted average contribution margin= $128.35
Break-even point (units)= 3,862,400/128.35
Break-even point (units)= 30,093
For each product:
Regular= 0.53*30,093= 15,949
Deluxe= 0.47*30,093= 14,144
Finally, we need to calculate the break-even point in dollars for the whole company:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 3,862,400/ (9,088,000/22,720,000)
Break-even point (dollars)= 3,862,400/0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $9,206,000
The state of Oregon's wine industry specializes in the production of Pinot Noir wine, a type of red wine. Oregon's Pinot Noir is very similar to wines made in Santa Barbara and the Burgundy region of France. Oregon's Pinot Noir is also known to pair well with lamb, that is, many people choose to drink Pinot Noir while eating lamb.
For many years, states levy a special sales tax on wine often called a "sin tax". The reasoning behind these special sales taxes is that wine consumption can lead to particular social costs such as drunk driving, violence, etc.
However, many medical studies have demonstrated that moderate consumption of red wine can lower the risks for many diseases such as coronary heart disease. Thus, there are social benefits as well.
Suppose that states, in recognition of some of the benefits to wine consumption, decide to decrease the sales tax on Oregon Pinot Noir. What effect will this have on consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss.
A. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss decreases.
B. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus decreases, the deadweight loss decreases.
C. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss is unchanged.
D. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss increases.
Answer:
A. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss decreases.
Explanation:
The burden of taxes is shared by both producers and consumers, regardless of who is supposed to pay for it. By decreasing taxes, both producers and consumers will benefit, resulting in higher producer and supplier surplus. Since surplus increases, that means that the deadweight loss resulting from the tax must be decreasing.
If the state decides to decrease the sales tax on Oregon Pinot Noir, the effect it will have on consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss is : Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss decreases.
What is tax?Tax is a compulsory levy, levied individual or entities by governments. They are a sum of money demanded by a government for its support or for specific facilities or services, levied upon incomes and properties.
With regards to the above, the burden of taxes are shared by both producers and consumers, regardless of who is supposed to pay for it.
When taxes are decreased, both producers and consumers will benefit, hence bring about higher producer and supplier surplus. Since surplus increases, that means that the deadweight loss resulting from the tax must be decreasing.

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the following costs as variable-fixed, and direct-indirect:
Direct materials: $2,600 (variable - direct)
Factory overhead: $520 (mixed - indirect)
Direct labor: $1,200 (variable - direct)
Now, we can calculate the cost of goods manufactured using the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 0 + 2,600 + 1,200 + 520 - 590
cost of goods manufactured= 3,730
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
beginning finished inventory= 0
cost of goods manufactured= 3,730
ending finished inventory= (370)
COGS= $3,360
Asset management ratios are used to measure how effectively a firm manages its assets, by relating the amount a firm has invested in a particular type of asset (or group of assets) to the amount of revenues the asset is generating. Examples of asset management ratios include the average collection period (also called the days sales outstanding ratio), the inventory turnover ratio, the fixed asset turnover ratio, and the total asset turnover ratio Consider the following case: Crawford Construction has a quick ratio of 2.00x, $36,225 in cash, $20,125 in accounts receivable, some inventory, total current assets of $80,500, and total current liabilities of $28,175. The company reported annual sales of $100,000 in the most recent annual report. Over the past year, how often did Crawford Construction sell and replace its inventory? O 4.14 x 4.55 x 2.86x 8.01 x The inventory turnover ratio across companies in the construction industry is 4.55x. Based on this information, which of the following statements is true for Crawford Construction? O Crawford Construction is holding less inventory per dollar of sales compared to the industry average O Crawford Construction is holding more inventory per dollar of sales compared to the industry average You are analyzing two companies that manufacture electronic toys-Like Games Inc. and Our Play Inc. Like Games was launched eight years ago, whereas Our Play is a relatively new company that has been in operation for only the past two years. However, both companies have an equal market share with sales of $100,000 each. You've collected company data to compare Like Games and Our Play. Last year, the average sales for all industry competitors was $255,000. As an analyst, you want to make comments on the expected performance of these two companies in the coming year. You've collected data from the companies' financial statements. This information is listed as follows: Data Collected (in dollars) Accounts receivable Net fixed assets Total assets Like Games 2,700 55,000 95,000 Our Play 3,900 80,000 125,000 Industry Average 3,850 216,750 234,600 Using this information, complete the following statements to include in your analysis days of sales tied up in receivables, which is much than the industry average.

Answer:
1. 4.14X
for the other parts of this question, i had to solve for the solution and fill it into the blank parts of the question.
Explanation:
part 1 solution:
annual sales - cash + account receivable
= 80500 - (36225 + 20125)
= 80500 - 56350
inventories = 24150
inventory turnover ratio = 100000/24150
= 4.14X
what is true for crawford is that crawford construction is holding more inventories per dollar compared to the industry average. we compared 4.14x with 4.55x to arrive at this conclusion.
part 2 solution:
Days sales outstanding = account receivable / average sales per day
like games = 2700/(100000/365)
= 9.855
our play = 3900/(100000/365)
= 14.235
industry average = 3850/(255000/365)
= 5.5
these values would be used to fill in this part of the question
our play has 14.235 days of sales which is much more than industry average. it is obvious that 14.235 is much greater than 5.5. It takes our play more time to time to collect colect cash from its customers than like games. this is as our play has 14.235 days and like games has 9.855 days.
fixed asset turn over ratio = sales/ net fixed assets
like games = 100000/55000
= 1.81X
our play = 100000/80000
= 1.25X
like games has fixed asset that is higher than that of our play. from the calculation above, 1.81X is greater than 1.25X. This is as like games was created 8 years ago.
Our Play paid a higher amount for its fixed assets.
part 3 solution;
total assets turn over ratio = sales / total assets
for industry average = 225000/234600 = 1.09X
for like games = 100000/95000 = 1.05X
For our play = 100000/125000 = 0.8X
A higher turn over ratio shows greater efficiency. Both companies have lower total turnover than the industry average. we can see obviously that 1.09X is greater than 1.05X and 0.8X.

On October 21, 2004, Abitibi-Consolidated Inc., a large Canadian-based newsprint and groundwood producer, reported net income for its third quarter, 2004, of $182 million. This compares with a net loss for the same quarter of 2003 of $70 million. Sales for the quarter were up, to $1528 million, and earnings excluding low persistence items, was a loss of $27 million. the low - persistence items included a gain of $239 million before tax from foreign exchange conversion. Much of the company's long term debt is denominated in US dollars. The foreign exchange gain arose because of the rising value of the Canadian dollar, relative to the US dollar, during the quarter. Comparable figures for the third quarter of 2003 were as follows: sales of $ 1,340 mil-lion, a loss before low- persistence items of $ 32 million, and foreign exchange conversion gain of $ 13 million. There is no mention of R& D costs in the company’s third quarter report. Its 2003 annual report mentions R& D only in passing, with reference to forest conservation. Presumably, R& D expenditures are relatively low. Abitibi- Consolidated’s share price rose $ 0.59 to $ 7.29 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on October 21, 2004. The S& P/ TSX Composite index gained 59 points to close at 8,847 on the same day. According to media reports, the increases were driven by a "red- hot" materials and energy sect

The computation of the carryforward amount is given below:
= Foreign income tax paid on the foreign branch income + foreign income taxes on the passive category income
= $63,000 + $27,000
= $90,000
hence, the carryforward amount is $90,000

You are the manager of two plants (factories) in Mexico that manufacture shoes. The combined monthly output of both plants is to be 10,000 pairs of shoes. How you would best divide this output of 10,000 pairs of shoes between the two plants. You may make your arguments in words with the aid of diagrams, i.e., without the use of math. On the other hand, if you are comfortable with math (calculus), the following additional information may be made use of by you. The cost function of Plant 1 is C1 = a1Q1 + a2Q12 + Q13and that of Plant 2 is C2 = b1Q2 + b2Q22 + Q23, where Q1 and Q2 denote, respectively, the outputs of Plant 1 and Plant 2.
Answer:
Explanation:
The purpose of allocating the output of the shoes is to diminish the total cost of production. The process is achieved by assigning a pair of shoes that requires production at the factory with a marginal lower cost of the two plants. Afterward, the firms will have to equate the marginal cost of production across the two firms.
For firm 1:
The cost of production [tex]c_1 = a_1Q_1 ^2 +a_2Q_1^2+Q_1^3[/tex]
Differentiating with respect to [tex]Q_1[/tex] to determine the marginal cost;
For firm 1, the Marginal cost [tex]MC_1 = a_1 +2a_2Q_1+3Q_1^2[/tex]
For firm 2; the marginal cost [tex]MC_2 = b_1 +2b_2Q_2+3Q_2^2[/tex]
Equating both from above:
[tex]a_1 +2a_2Q_1+3Q_1^2 = b_1 +2b_2Q_2+3Q_2^2[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]Q_1 = 10000 - Q_2[/tex]
Thus, we can replace the value of [tex]Q_1[/tex] into the above equation to determine the value of [tex]Q_2[/tex] in terms of [tex]a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2[/tex] by applying a quadratic formula.
Assuming we knew the values of [tex]a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2,[/tex] we can estimate the numerical value of [tex]Q_2[/tex], then replace it into the equation [tex]Q_1 = 10000 – Q_2[/tex] to find the numerical value for [tex]Q_1[/tex].
Scenario
You are the marketing analyst for Better Beans Coffee Company, which has nine stores nationwide. The company wants to build two additional stores. Your executive team has decided that rather than expand to new markets, they want Better Beans to begin opening additional stores in existing markets. While this will create cannibalization in the short term, it will create marketing and operating efficiencies as more stores are opened in each city.
As a scrappy and growing startup, Better Beans does not yet have access to complex marketing analytics software. Fortunately, you are an expert at gathering market data from inside and outside the company and crunching accurate numbers with nothing more than an Excel spreadsheet.
You have been tasked with calculating the two best markets for opening an additional store. You have already calculated two things that allow you to estimate the net additional revenue in each market ueafter adding a second store:
Revenue for a second store in each market
The revenue lost from estimated cannibalization at the first store.
Important note: Due to the high investments already made in existing stores, management has specified that any market where cannibalization is 25% or more should be eliminated from consideration.
Ignoring cannibalization rates for now, what two markets have the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store?
A. Dallas and Portland
B. Los Angeles and Orlando
C. Chicago and Dallas
D. Orlando and Dallas
E. Los Angeles and Portland
What two markets should be chosen for a second store based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 25%? Note: Cannibalization rates and net revenue increase amounts need to be considered when making this determination.

b) Cannibalization results from the reduction in sales revenue when a company introduces another similar product or store in an existing market. Before making decisions based on cannibalization, management should study the market dynamics and set measurable criteria for making the choice to go for cannibalization or preservation of an existing market. One of the best criteria for deciding on cannibalization is the net revenue from the second product or store after cannibalization.
Stewart owns a home with a replacement cost of $300,000. He purchased $200,000 of property insurance on the house with a $1,000 deductible for all losses. The house caught on fire and sustained $100,000 worth of damage. The actual cash value (ACV) of the damaged portion of the property was $80,000. How much will Stewart receive as reimbursement for the loss
Answer:
$82,333
Explanation:
The computation of the amount received as reimbursement for the loss is given below:
Given that
House Replacement= $300,000
80% of replacement cost = 80% of $300,000 = $240,000
Value of insurance = $200,000
Now
Amount of claim = [($200,000 ÷ $240,000) × $100,000] - $1,000 (deductible for all losses)
= $83,333 - $1,000
= $82,333
Staley Co. manufactures computer monitors. The following is a summary of its basic cost and revenue data: Per Unit Percent Sales price $525 100 Variable costs 300 57 Unit contribution margin $225 43 Assume that Staley Co. is currently selling 500 computer monitors per month and monthly fixed costs are $75,000. Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 500 units are sold would be (round intermediate calculation up to nearest whole number of units): Group of answer choices 33.2%. 20.5%. 17.7%. 19.5%. 23.7%.
Answer:
36%
Explanation:
Calculation for what Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 500 units are sold would be
First step is to calculate the Break even point units using this formula
Break even point units =( Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit)
Let plug in the formula
Break even point units= ($75,000 / $225)
Break even point units= 320 units
Second step is to calculate the Margin of safety sales in units using this formula
Margin of safety sales in units = Actual sales units - Break even sales units
Let plug in the formula
Margin of safety sales in units = 500 - 320
Margin of safety sales in units= 180
Now let calculate Margin of safety ratio using this formula
Margin of safety ratio = ( margin of safety units / Actual sales units) *100
Let plug in the formula
Margin of safety ratio= (180 / 500 ) *100
Margin of safety ratio= 36%
Therefore Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 500 units are sold would be 36%
Tullius Corporation has received a request for a special order of 8,600 units of product C64 for $45.50 each. The normal selling price of this product is $50.60 each, but the units would need to be modified slightly for the customer. The normal unit product cost of product C64 is computed as follows:
Direct materials $ 16.30
Direct labor 5.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.80
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5.70
Unit product cost $ 30.40
Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like some modifications made to product C64 that would increase the variable costs by $5.20 per unit and that would require a one-time investment of $45,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order.
Required: Determine the effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order.
Answer:
Increase in Netcome$89,160
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order.
Effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order=(8,600units*$45.50)-[8,600units*($ 16.30+5.60+2.80+$5.20)]-$45,000
Effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order=$391,300-$257,140-$45,000
Effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order=$89,160 Increase
Therefore the effect on the company's total net operating income of accepting the special order will be increase in net income of the amount of $89,160
