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.
Solution: Total liabilities and equity = Total Assets = $6,783,000 Long term debt = $1,300,000 Current liabilities = $786,000 Total liabilities = $2,086,000 The fraction of the firm’s assets financed using debt = Debt Total Assets = $2,786,000 $6,783,000 = 30.75% If the firm purchase a new warehouse for $1.1 million and finance it entirely with long-term debt, the total liabilities and total assets would increase by the same amount. Hence, the debt ratio would undergo change. Total liabilities = $3,186,000 Total Assets = $7,883,000 Debt ratio = $3,186,000 $7,883,000 = 40.42% Problem 13-9 (Break even analysis) Accounting break even units = Fixed cost + Depreciation Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit Project A 6270 = 99000 + 26000 SP - 54 6270 SP – 338580 = 125000 6270 SP = 463580 Selling price = 73.94 per unit Project B 730 = 495000 + 101000 990 – VC 722700 – 730 VC = 596000 730 VC = 126700 Variable cost = 173.56 per unit Project C 2000 = 4800 + D 22 - 13 18000 = 4800 + D Depreciation = $13200 Project D 2000 = FC + 17000 22 – 6 32000 = FC + 17000 Fixed cost = $15000 Project | Accounting BEP units | Price per unit | Variable cost per unit | Fixed cost | Depreciation | |
Suppose further that if the Federal Reserve changes the discount rate by 1 percentage point, banks change their reserves by 300. To increase the money supply by 2700 the Federal Reserve should A. reduce the discount rate by 3 percentage points B. reduce the discount rate by 10 percentage points C. raise the discount rate by 3 percentage points D. raise the discount rate by 10 percentage points 6. In the short run, a trade deficit allows more consumption, but in the long run, a trade deficit is a problem because A. the country eventually will consume more and produce less B. the country eventually will
They can compare their cash flow forecast with the actual situation shown in the statement. If you look back at their forecast on page 71, you will see the received more cash inflows in December than they expected - £16,700 rather than £16,300. Their cash outflows were just a little higher (mainly due to spending more on wages than forecast). As a result, their cash outflows for the month were only £20 higher than their inflows. Consequences and solutions to cash flow problems Factor | Why It Causes a Cash Flow Problem | Low profits or (worse) losses | There is a direct link between low profits or losses and cash flow problems.
As seen on the income statement by accounts receivable and annual credit sales Amazon was able to decrease the amount of days it took to collect on accounts receivable. The financial state of Amazon at this point of review, as some concerns with common stock outstanding, this led to the period in which the income statement shows a $-39 million dollar on net income. In 2012 sales did increase only due to more electronic transactions, new innovative Internet transactions and the rise in shipping costs, due to this there was a significant rise in prices of the products that Amazon sells. In 2013 Amazon must increase net income and retained earnings in order to continue to be a successful corporation.
Federal Reserve banks took over the power to issue bank notes, and were granted the poser to buy and sell government securities, loan money to member banks, and to clear checks between banks. The Fed also also requires that member banks hold cash in reserve at a specified rate, currently 10% of their deposits (pg 205). The Fed’s customers are member banks, much in the same manner that depository institutions service the general public. The Fed also exercises powers to influence the
C) The answers are different because if the interest is left untouched, it makes the principal amount higher each year, giving more money after 10 years. Compounded interest allows for more money that simple interest would. 2. A) If the individual retires at the age of 65, having started the program at age 40, there would be $219,318 in the account. $3,000 x (8% in 25 years) 3000 x 73.106 = $219,318 B) If
If the firm decides to use its cash for the notes payable it will then have to obtain financing to maintain the cash balance. The firm may need to renegotiate its notes payable and obtain additional financing to maintain the minimum cash balance of $15,000. 5-1A (Compound Interest) To what amount will the following investments accumulate? a. $5,000 invested for 10 years at 10 percent compounded annually rate (i)= 10% number of periods (n) = 10 Payment (PMT) = $0 present value (PV) = $5,000 type (0 at end of = period) = 0 Future value (FV) =
The real wage and rental price of capital also increase by 10 percent. Question 4 (15 marks) a) Public saving equals T-G. An increase in government spending, G, reduces public saving. b) Private saving equals Y-T-C. An increase in government spending does not affect private saving. c) National saving equals Y-C-G. An increase in government spending reduces national saving by an amount equal to the increase in government spending. d) The equilibrium interest rate increases to bring desired investment into equilibrium with the reduced quantity of national saving.
The legislation establishing the payroll tax reduction also provided for transfers of revenues from the general fund to the trust funds in order to "replicate to the extent possible" payments that would have occurred if the payroll tax reduction had not been enacted. Those general fund reimbursements comprise about 15 percent of the program's non-interest income in 2011 and 2012. Under current projections, the annual cost of Social Security benefits expressed as a share of workers’ taxable earnings will grow rapidly from 11.3 percent in 2007, the last pre-recession year, to roughly 17.4 percent in 2035, and will then decline slightly before slowly increasing after 2050. Costs display a slightly different pattern when expressed as a share of GDP. Program costs equaled 4.2 percent of GDP in 2007, and the Trustees project these costs will increase gradually to 6.4 percent of GDP in 2035 before declining to about 6.1 percent of GDP by 2050 and then remaining at about that
