Sunland Diesel owns the Fredonia Barber Shop. He employs 4 barbers and pays each a base rate of $1,440 per month. One of the barbers serves as the manager and receives an extra $520 per month. In addition to the base rate, each barber also receives a commission of $9.15 per haircut. Other costs are as follows.
Advertising $240 per month
Rent $1,100 per month
Barber supplies $0.35 per haircut
Utilities $185 per month plus $0.10 per haircut
Magazines $35 per month Sunland currently charges $16 per haircut.
Vin currently charges $10 per haircut.
Required:
a. Determine the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs.
b. Compute the break-even point in units and dollars.
c. Prepare a CVP graph, assuming a maximum of 1,800 haircuts in a month. Use increments of 300 haircuts on the horizontal axis and $3,000 on the vertical axis.
d. Determine net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month.
Answer:
a. Variable costs = $9.60 and Fixed Costs = $7,840
b. 1,225 haircuts and $19,600
c. See attachment
d. $2,400
Explanation:
Variable Costs per haircut Calculations
Barber supplies $0.35
Utilities $0.10
Commission $9.15
Total Variable Costs per haircut $9.60
Total Monthly Fixed Costs Calculation
Base Salary (1,440 × 4 + 520) $6,280
Advertising $240
Rent $1,100
Utilities $185
Magazines $35
Total Monthly Fixed Costs $7,840
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable Cost per unit
= $16.00 - $9.60
= $6.40
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Selling Price
= $6.40 ÷ $16.00
= 0.40
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $7,840 ÷ $6.40
= 1,225 haircuts
Break-even point (dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $7,840 ÷ 0.40
= $19,600
Net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month [calculation]
Contribution (1,600 × $6.40) $10,240
Less Fixed Costs ($7,840)
Net Income/(loss) $2,400

WIP beginning (60% for conversion) 17,500 units
Units started 114,500 units
Units completed and transferred out 111,700 units
WIP ending (30% for conversion) 20,300 units
Beginning WIP direct materials $22,300
Beginning WIP conversion costs $19,700
Costs of materials added $370,000
Costs of conversion added $280,000
What is the total cost of units completed and transferred out?
Answer and Explanation:
For materials
Equivalent completed units = Completed units + WIP ending
= 111,700 + 20,300
= 132,000 units
Cost of materials = Beginning WIP + Cost of materials added
= 22,300 + 370,000
= $392,300
Cost of material per units = 392,300 ÷ 132,000
= $2.97197
For conversions
Equivalent completed units = Completed units + WIP ending
= 111,700 + 20,300 × 30%
= 117,790 units
Cost of Conversion = Beginning WIP + Cost of conversion added
= 19,700 + 280,000
= $299,700
Cost of conversion per units = 299,700 ÷ 117,790
= $2.54436
Total cost of units completed and transferred out
= 111,700 × (2.97197 + 2.54436)
= $616,174

f Europe has a real GDP growth rate of 5%, and the United States has a real GDP growth rate of 6%, while money growth in Europe is 7%, and money growth in the United States is 5%, what would the monetary exchange rate model predict for exchange rates in the long run
Answer:
the dollar will appreciate by 3% against the euro
Explanation:
long run change in the exchange rate = (growth rate money supply Europe - growth rate money supply US) - (growth rate real GDP Europe - growth rate real GDP US) = (7% - 5%) - (5% - 6%) = 2% - (-1%) = 2% + 1% = 3%
This is a very simplistic approach to the monetary exchange rate model, but since we are given only this information, it's all that we can use.
on an annal basis, the first set of expenses is ____% of the second set of expenses. MAria spends 17 dollars on lottery tickets every week and spends
Completion Question:
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is _______% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is % of the money spent to buy food. (Round to the nearest percent asneeded.)
Answer:
Maria's Spending
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is ____55.39___% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is 55.39 % of the money spent to buy food.
Explanation:
Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week
Therefore, every 4-week month, she spends $68 ($17 * 4) on lottery tickets
Normally, a year = 52 weeks.
Annually, Maria spends $884 ($17 * 52) on lottery tickets
Also
Maria spends $133 per month on food.
Normally, a year = 12 months.
Annually, she spends $1,596 ($133 x 12) on food
Ratio of Lottery tickets to Food annually:
= $884 : $1,596
= $884/$1,596
= 55.39%
or
0.5539 : 1
b) What is done here is to convert to each cost to its annual equivalent. The cost of Lottery tickets was converted from per week basis to per annum. The cost of food was converted from per month basis to per annum. These conversions make the two variables comparable, since they have been reduced to similar standards of measurement.

There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to find the one that has a higher process capability index, or Cpk. The goal is to produce flooring that is between 46 and 50 millimeters thick. The first machine is more accurate on average, producing to a mean of 48 millimeters...but unfortunately it has more variation with a standard deviation of 7 millimeters. The second machine is not as accurate, with a mean of 47mm, but does deliver a more consistent output, with standard deviation of 3mm.
[ Select] What is the Cpk of machine 1?
[Select] What is the Cpk of machine 2?
[ Select] If your goal is to be capable', what would you do?
[ Select] If (somehow) you could combine the best of both machines (the centering or average of machine 1 coupled with the constancy or standard deviation of machine 2, what would the Cpk be?
Answer:
Machine 1 = 0.092
Machine 2 = 0.111
Combined = 0.222
Explanation:
Given the following :
Lower specification limit (LSL) = 46 mm
Upper specification limit (USL) = 50 mm
MACHINE 1:
Mean 1 (m1) = 48
Standard deviation 1 (σ1) = 0.7
MACHINE 2:
Mean 2 (m2) = 47
Standard deviation 2 (σ2) = 0.3
Cpk formula:
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
USLcpk = (USL - m) / 3σ
LSLcpk = (m - LSL) / 3σ
FOR MACHINE 1:
USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(7) = 0.0952
LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(7) = 0.0952
Cpk = Min(0.952, 0.952) = 0.952
FOR MACHINE 2:
USLcpk = (50 - 47) / 3(3) = 0.333
LSLcpk = (47 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.111
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
Cpk = Min(0.333, 0.111) = 0.111
When combined :
Mean = 48
σ = 3
USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(3) = 0.222
LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.222
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
Cpk = Min(0.222, 0.222) = 0.222
A stock has an average expected return of 10.8 percent for the next year. The beta of the stock is 1.22. The T-Bill rate is 5% and the T-Bond rate is 3.4 %. What is the market risk premium
Answer: 4.7%
Explanation:
Expected return is calculated as:
= Risk free return + Beta ( Market risk premium)
10.8% = 5% + (1.22 × Market risk premium)
10.8% - 5% = 1.22market risk premium
5.8%/1.22 = market risk premium
Market risk premium = 0.058/1.22
Market risk premium = 0.047
Market risk premium = 4.7%

c. The amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
If the AD shortfall is $700 billion and the MPC is 0.95, Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place.
a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?
b. How large an income tax cut is needed?
c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?
The explantion of the answers is now provided as follows:
From the question, we have:
Aggregate demand (AD) shortfall = $700 billion
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = 0.95
a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?
To calculate the the desired fiscal stimulus, we need to first calculate the multiplier as follows:
Multipliers = 1 (1 - MPC) ................... (1)
Substituting the value into equation (1), we have:
Multipliers = 1 (1 - 0.95) = 1 / 0.05 = 20
The formula for calculating the fiscal stimulus is as follows:
Fiscal stimulus = AD shortfall / Multiplier ..................... (2)
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Fiscal stimulus = $700 billion / 20 = $35.0 billion.
Therefore, the desired fiscal stimulus is $35.0 billion.
b. How large an income tax cut is needed?
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Income tax cut = Fiscal stimulus / MPC .............. (3)
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Income tax cut = $35 billion / 0.95 = $36.8421052631579 billion
Rounding to one decimal place, we have
Income tax cut = $36.8 billion
Therefore, the income tax cut is $36.8 billion.
c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?
The amount of increase in government spending that would achieve the target is the same thing as the desired fiscal stimulus already obtained in part a above.
Therefore, the amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.

An example of economies of scope is: Group of answer choices Google utilizing its information processing capabilities to provide data analysis services to other firms. The 200,000 unit production threshold for GM to make a profit on a car model. Decreasing per unit costs given increased unit production. Increasing per unit costs given increased unit production. None of the available answers.
Answer:
Google utilizing its information processing capabilities to provide data analysis services to other firms.
Explanation:
Many people confuse economies of scope with economies of scale. Economies of scope result when producing 2 or more different goods or services together is cheaper than producing them separately. While economies of scale refers to decreasing unit costs as the total output increases.
In the example above, Google already processes information for itself, and it is using that information to sell services to other companies. By producing both services together, the production costs lower.
Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.25 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 32% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 6% per year. If the required return on Computech is 17%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
P₀ = $12.23
Explanation:
Div₃ = $1.25
Div₄ = $1.65
Div₅ = $2.178
Div₆ = $2.30868
first we must calculate the terminal value using the dividend discount model = $2.30868 / (17% - 6%) = $20.988
now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value
P₀ = $1.25/1.17³ + $1.65/1.17⁴ + $2.178/1.17⁵ + $20.988/1.17⁵ = $12.23

question text WITH missing information:
After examining the various personal loan rates available to you, you find that you can borrow funds from a finance company at an APR of 12 percent compounded monthly or from a bank at an APR of 13 percent compounded annually. Which alternative is more attractive?
If you borrow $100 from a finance company at an APR of 9% percent compounded for year, how much do you need to payoff the loan?
Answer:
The finance company option is better as we are taking the loan we want the lower rate possible.
We need $109 to payoff the loan of $100 at 9% annualy after a whole year.
Explanation:
We solve for the effective rate of 12% compounded monthly
[tex](1+\frac{0.12}{12} )^{12}[/tex] = 1.12682503 = 0.126825 = 12.6825%
As this rate is lower than 13% this option is better
If we take 100 dollars after a year we have to pay:
$100 x (1 + r) = 100 x (1 + 0.09) = 100 x 1.09 = $109

Explanation:
See the journals and their narrations prepared above.
Larner Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of industrial goods. The company's activity-based costing system contains the following six activity cost pools and activity rates:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates
Labor-related $5.00 per direct labor-hour
Machine-related $10.00 per machine-hour
Machine setups $30.00 per setup
Production orders $200.00 per order
Shipments $140.00 per shipment
General factory $10.00 per direct labor-hour
Cost and activity data have been supplied for the following products:
J78 B52
Direct materials cost per unit $5.50 $20.00
Direct labor cost per unit $4.25 $7.00
Number of units produced per year 2,000 200
Total Expected Activity
J78 B52
Direct labor-hours 1,500 50
Machine-hours 2,600 30
Machine setups 6 1
Production orders 8 1
Shipments 8 1
Required:
Compute the unit product cost of each product listed above.
Answer:
J78= $35.45
B52= $34.2
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
J78:
Labor-related= 5*1,500= 7,500
Machine-related= 10*2,600= 26,000
Machine setups= 30*6= 180
Production orders= 200*8= 1,600
Shipments= 140*8= 1,120
General factory= 10*1,500= 15,000
Total allocated overhead= $51,400
Unitary allocated overhead= 51,400/2,000= $25.7
B52:
Labor-related= 5*50= 250
Machine-related= 10*30= 300
Machine setups= 30*1= 30
Production orders= 200*1= 200
Shipments= 140*1= 140
General factory= 10*50= 500
Total allocated overhead= $1,420
Unitary allocated overhead= 1,420/200= $7.1
Finally, the unitary cost:
J78= 5.5 + 4.2 + 25.7= $35.45
B52= 20 + 7 + 7.2= $34.2
