Week 10 Problems 1. Given the following information: Total assets $100,000 Debt (12% interest rate) $80,000 Equity $20,000 Variable costs of production $14 per unit Fixed cost of production $27,000 Units Sold 12,300 Sales price $19.75 per unit What happens to operating income and net income if output is increased by 10 percent? Verify your answer. Revenue: $19.75*(12,300) = $242,925 Expenses: $14*(12,300) = $172,200 Operating Income: $242,925-$172,200 = $70,725 Net Income: $72,725- (.12*$80,000) = $63,125 With 10% increase in revenue: Revenue: $19.75*(13,530) = $267,217.50 Expenses: $14*(13,530) = $189,420 Operating Income: $267,217.50- $189,420 =$77,797.50 Net Income: $77,797.50 - (.12*$80,000) =$38,197.50 Operating Income rose from $70,725 to $77,797.50 for a 91% increase. Net income dropped from $63,125 to $38,197.50 which cuts losses by $24,927.50.
Let (R/P)1 equal the initial value of the real rental price of capital, and (R/P)2 equal the final real rental price of capital after the labour force increases by 10 percent. The rental price increases by The real rental price also increases by 6.9 percent. Let (W/P)1 equal the initial value of the real wage, and (W/P)2 equal the final real wage after the labour force increases by 10 percent. The real wage increases by The real wage decreases by 2.8 percent. c) Using the same logic as (b) So, output increases by about 3 percent.
Husky used annual observations from 20 prior years to estimate each of the four equations. Following are a definition of the variables used in the four equations and a statistical summary of these equations: St = Forecasted sales in dollars for Lockit in period t St–1 = Actual sales in dollars for Lockit in period t – 1 Gt = Forecasted U.S. gross domestic product in period t Gt–1 = Actual U.S. gross domestic product in period t – 1 Nt–1 = Lockit’s net income in period t – 1 Required: 1. Write Equations 2 and 4 in the form Y = a + bx. 2. If actual sales are $1,500,000 in 2009, what would be the forecasted sales for Lockit in 2010?
Question : (TCO 7) Pritchard Company manufactures a product that has a variable cost of $30 per unit. Fixed costs total $1,500,000, allocated on the basis of the number of units produced. Selling price is computed by adding a 20% markup to full cost. How much should the selling price be per unit for 300,000 units? 6.
A family spends $28,000 a year for living expenses. If prices increase by 4 percent a year for the next three years, what amount will the family need for its living expenses? Answer: PV (1 + i)^n or, PV (1 + .04)^3 or, $28,000 * 1.125 = $31,500 needed for the family’s annual living expenses. 5. What would be the yearly earnings for a person with $6,000 in savings at an annual interest rate of 5.5 percent?
DSO = Receivables / Ave. sales per day Receivables= DSO * Ave. sales per day = 20 * 20,000 Receivables= $400,000 (3-2) Debt Ratio: Vigo Vacations has an equity multiplier of 2.5. The company’s assets are financed with some combination of long-term debt and common equity. What is the company’s debt ratio? Debt ratio = 1 – (1 / Equity multiplier) Debt ratio = 1 – (1/2.5) = 1 - .40 = .60 Debt ratio = 60% (3-3) Market/Book Ratio: Winston Washers’s stock price is $75 per share. Winston has $10 billion in total assets.
Using the data from attachments 10-11 (provided below), compute the optimal portfolio allocations if the portfolio mean return objective is 6.4% with some constraints (all weights sum to 100%, weights on cash >= -50% and weights on all other asset classes >=0) and the investor wishes to minimize standard deviation. What is the standard deviation and sharpe ratio of this portfolio? 11. Repeat for returns of 4.4-9.4% with increments of .5% (a total of 11 optimizations, e.g. 4.4, 4.9, 5.4… 9.4).

New contribution margin = $70 Break-even point in passengers = fixed costs/contribution margin Passengers = 45,000 Train cars = 715 e) Springfield Express has experienced an increase in variable cost per passenger to $ 85 and an increase in total fixed cost to $ 3,600,000. The company has decided to raise the average fare to $ 205. If the tax rate is 30 percent, how many passengers per month are needed to generate an after-tax profit of $ 750,000? Before Tax Needed Profit = $1,071,428.57 Before Tax Needed Contribution Margin = $4,671,428.57 Contribution Margin per Customer = $120 Number of Customers Needed = 38,928.57 Whole Number of Customers Needed = 38,929
