Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $8.6 million in 2016 to $10.75 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $4 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 75%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year.
Answer:
the additional funds needed is $667,500
Explanation:
The computation of the additional funds by using AFN is shown below:
AFN is
= Increase in assets - increase in liabilities - addition to retained earnings
= ($4,000,000×25%) - ($900,000 × 25%) - 10,750,000 × .04( 1 - 0.75)
= $1,000,000 - $225,000 - $107,500
= $667,500
hence, the additional funds needed is $667,500
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

A company manufactures various-sized plastic bottles for its medicinal product. The manufacturing cost for small bottles is $75 per unit (100 bottles), including fixed costs of $28 per unit. A proposal is offered to purchase small bottles from an outside source for $40 per unit, plus $4 per unit for freight.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated July 31 to determine whether the company should make _______ or buy __________ the bottles, assuming fixed costs are unaffected by the decision.
b. Determine whether the company should make ___________ or buy ________ the bottles.
Answer:
Part a
Differential analysis to determine whether the company should make or buy the bottles.
Make Buy
Variable manufacturing costs ($75 - $28) $47
Purchase price $40
Freight charges $4
Total Cost $47 $44
Part b
The Company should Buy instead of making the bottles. This is because it costs $3 more to make the bottles than buying them.
Explanation:
The make or buy decision should be done by considering relevant costs. The fixed costs are irrelevant in this decision hence, we have to ignore them.
The alternative course which gives the lowest cost is the one to go for. This will minimize the costs for the entire business and in turn maximizes the profits of the company.
Societies choose what share of their resources to devote to consumption and what share to devote to investment. Some of these decisions involve private spending; others involve government spending.
For each form of private spending, indicate whether it represents consumption or investment.
Private Spending Consumption Investment
Laundromats buying washing machines
People buying houses
People buying newspapers
People buying food
For each form of government spending, indicate whether it represents consumption or investment.
Government Spending Consumption Investment
Payment for public safety employees
Building hospitals
Building roads
Buying military equipment
Explanation:
Note, for private spending, consumption refers to purchases usually made for present needs, while investment refers to purchases that may provide. For government spending, consumption refers to purchase made to care for the immediate welfare or needs of those governed without any monetary benefits, while investment purchases are done with the perceived future benefits in mind.
Private Spending

Current sales are $715,000. Fixed assets are $520,000 and sales are projected to grow to $790,000. How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales?
Answer:
$2,980
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of new fixed assets required to support project sales, we need to first determine the amount of fixed assets required to support $1 of sales
The sales value at full capacity is;
Full capacity sales = 715,000 / 0.91
Full capacity sales = $785,714
To calculate the $ amount of fixed asset requires to support $1 in sales, we need to first calculate the ratio of fixed asset to sales. The ratio is;
Fixed asset to sales = 520,000 / 785,714 = 0.662
Hence, to support a sales of level of $790,000 the total amount of fixed assets required will be;
Total fixed assets required = $790,000 × 0.662 = $522,980
Therefore, new fixed assets required
= $522,980 - $520,000
= $2,980
The point where marginal cost curve crosses the ____________ and ___________ curve is where the profit maximizing quantity demanded (dropping down to the X-axis) and price (going up to the demand curve or average revenue curve and over to the Y-axis) are determined.
Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are missing and the word "and" between the gaps is wrong and should not be there.
The options are the following:
a) Marginal revenue
b) Average revenue
c) Variable cost
d) Fixed cost
And the correct answer is the option A: Marginal revenue.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the microeconomics theory the marginal analysis is very well known for being one of the reasons why the price is determined in the markets under the laws of economic sciences. Moreover, this marginal analysis focus on the interaction between all the curves that represents the costs and revenues that are related to the consumer of a good or service in a particular market. In the graphic, the point where the marginal cost curve equals the marginal revenue curve is where the profit maximizing quantity demanded and the price are the same and therefore those are the equilibrium numbers.

Credit Losses Based on Accounts Receivable At December 31, Schuler Company had a balance of $364,900 in its Accounts Receivable account and a credit balance of $4,200 in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account. The accounts receivable T-account consisted of $370,000 in debit balances and $5,100 in credit balances. The company aged its accounts as follows:
Current $303,000
0-60 days past due 42,000
61-180 days past due 17,000
Over 180 days past due 8,000
$370,000
In the past, the company has experienced credit losses as follows: 1% of current balances, 5% of balances 0-60 days past due, 15% of balances 61-180 days past due, and 40% of balances over six months past due. The company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on an aging analysis of accounts receivable.
Required:
a. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the allowance for doubtful accounts for the year.
b. Show how Accounts Receivable (including the credit balances) and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts would appear on the December 31 balance sheet.
Answer:
a. First calculate the adjusting entry to record allowance.
Uncollectible for the year is;
= (303,000 * 1%) + (42,000 * 5%) + (17,000 * 15%) + (8,000 * 40%)
= $10,880
Adjusting entry = Uncollectable amount - Credit balance on allowance
= 10,880 - 4,200
= $6,680
DR Bad Debt Expense $6,680
CR Allowance for Doubtful accounts $6,680
b.
Current Assets:
Accounts Receivable $370,000
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts ($10,880)
$359,120
Current Liabilities
Customers Overpayments $5,100
The current liability above arises from the credit balance of $5,100 in the Accounts receivable account. Accounts Receivable should have a debit balance so if a credit balance occurs it is an overpayment by a customer.

Why is "inventory turns" an important metric?
Explanation:
The metric, number of inventory turns, aims to measure the movement of stock. The higher the turnover, the less time your inventory spends sitting in storage. The number of inventory turns, also known as stock turn, is calculated by taking the value of stock purchased, divided by the value of stock on hand
If the sales volume decreases by 25%, the variable cost per unit increases by 15%, and all other factors remain the same, net operating income will: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
decrease by $3,125.
increase by $20,625.
decrease by $15,000.
decrease by $31,875.
Sales 3,000 Units
Sales Price $70
Variable Cost $50
Fixed Cost $25,000
Answer: decrease by $31,875
Explanation:
Net Operating income;
= Sales - variable cost - fixed cost
= (70 * 3,000) - ( 50 * 3,000) - 25,000
= $35,000
Sales volume decreases by 25%;
= 3,000 * ( 1 - 25%)
= 2,250 units
Variable cost per unit increases by 15%;
= 50 * ( 1 + 15%)
= $57.50
New Net Operating income;
= (70 * 2,250) - (57.50 * 2,250) - 25,000
= $3,125
Net Operating income change;
= 3,125 - 35,000
= -$31,875
Decrease by $31,875

To get the Market value of equity = 25m x $18 = $450 million
The Market value of debt is given to be = $150 million
To get the weight of equity= 450/600
To get the weight of debt = 150/600
we have Ke as cost of equity= 13%
Such that after tax cost of debt = 7%(1-0.40) = 4.2%
Then the Weighted average cost of capital = We(Ke) + Wd(Kd)
= 450/600 x 13% + 150/600 x 4.2%
This gives us
= 9.75% + 1.05%
Therefore the answer is
= 10.80%
So the option B is correct
Luther's unlevered cost of capital is closest to 10.8%. Therefore, correct response here is option B.
What is the term cost of capital about?
A cost of capital refers to as a return that a company needs to earn in order to achieve the cost of capital of particular project.
Solution:
To get the Market value of equity = 25m x $18 = $450 million
The Market value of debt is given to be = $150 million
To get the weight of equity= 450/600
To get the weight of debt = 150/600
Ke as cost of equity= 13%
Such that after tax cost of debt = 7%(1-0.40) = 4.2%
Then, the Weighted average cost of capital = We(Ke) + Wd(Kd)
Weighted average cost of capital= 450/600 x 13% + 150/600 x 4.2%
Weighted average cost of capital= 9.75% + 1.05%
Weighted average cost of capital=10.80%

Archer, in Chicago, wrote to Ganze in New York City offering to purchase her antique car. When she received the letter, Ganze mailed an acceptance. After she mailed the letter, Ganze changed her mind and sent a telegram rejecting the offer. The acceptance letter reached Archer one day before the telegram. Did a contract result
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Remember, in business law, as long as both parties did not sign a contractual document, the purchase is not legal.
In this case, it could be observed that Ganze only "mailed an acceptance" not a signed document between both parties agreeing on the purchase of her antique car.
Also, the fact that she quickly sent a telegram letting Archer know that she is rejecting the offer, shows that she acted in good fate to withdraw her acceptance on time.

Sienna Company uses the FIFO cost flow assumption. Sienna has inventory with a selling price of $100, packaging costs of $5, and transportation costs of $10. Sienna's normal profit margin is $20. However, due to limited supply of the product from the manufacturer, it would cost Sienna $80 to replace the inventory. What amount should be used as the market value?a. $ 65b. $ 80c. $ 85d. $ 100
Answer: $85
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Selling price = $100
Less: Packaging cost = $5
Less: Transportation cost = $10
Ceiling price = $100 - $5 - $10 = $85
Net profit = $20
Floor price = $85 - $20 = $65
In this scenario, the replacement cost of the inventory is higher than the floor price of $65, therefore the market value should be $85.

Radon Corporation manufactured 37,500 units during March. The following fixed overhead data pertain to March: Actual Static Budget Production 37,500 units 34,000 units Machine-hours 10,375 hours 10,200 hours Fixed overhead costs for March $213,200 $204,000 What is the fixed overhead production-volume variance?
Answer:
$21,000 Unfavorable
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate fixed overhead absorption rate.
Fixed overhead absorption rate = Fixed overhead costs for March(Static budget) ÷ Production(Static budget)
= $204,000 ÷ $34,000
= $6 per unit
Fixed overhead production volume variance
= Amount actually applied - Amount budgeted
= ($6 × 37,500) - $204,000
= $225,000 - $204,000
= $21,000 Unfavorable
