Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one can of soda, one bag of chips, and one comic book. In year one, the basket costs $9.00. In year two, the price of the same basket is $8.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of . In year one, $72.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $72.00 will buy baskets. This example illustrates that, as the price level falls, the value of money . rises,falls,remains the same

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

From Year 1 to Year 2 : There is annual deflation 11.11%

As price falls, value of money rises

Explanation:

Given : Commodity Basket Cost = $9 in Year 1 ; Commodity Basket Cost = $8 in Year 2

From Year 1 to Year 2 : There has been fall in price level. Proportionate (%) Fall in price level = Change in Price / Old Price x 100

So, Fall in price level = [ ( 9 - 8 ) / 9] x 100 = 1/9 x 100 = 11.11%

Hence, from year 1 to year 2 : there has been 11% fall in price i.e Deflation

Considering Income = $72  :

  • Year 1 : It can purchase 72 / 9 = 8 commodity baskets
  • Year 2 : It can purchase 72 / 8 = 9 commodity baskets

So, it illustrates that : As price falls, the purchasing power of money (value of money) rises.

Muy Bueno Bakery sells three different products. Currently they are not able to meet all of their customers' demand. Using the following information, determine the price of the cake needed to meet the same contribution margin as the cookies. Cake Pie Cookies Contribution margin $18 $11 $3 Production hours 2 1.5 .25 Variable cost $12 $7 $1 Contribution margin/hr. $9 $7.33 $12 Current selling price $30 $18 $5 a.$45 b.$30 c.$42 d.$36

Answers

Answer:

d. $36

Explanation:

The Contribution margin is the net of selling price and variable cost of a product. It is calculated by deducting the variable cost from the selling price of a product.

                                          Cake   Pie    Cookies

Current selling price          $30    $18    $5

Variable cost                      $12     $7      $1

Contribution margin           $18     $11     $3

Production hours                2        1.5     0.25

Contribution margin/hr.     $9     $7.33  $12

Required Contribution margin per hour of cake = $12

Required Contribution margin = $12 x 2 = $24

Required Selling Price = Contribution margin + variable cost = $24 + $12 = $36

Note there is a mistake in the calculation of Contribution margin of Cookies as it is given $3 but after deducting the variable cost from selling price is should be $4 ( $5 - $1 ), I used the given contribution margin for the calculation.

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below: Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per Student Instructor wages $ 2,960 Classroom supplies $ 270 Utilities $ 1,220 $ 75 Campus rent $ 4,800 Insurance $ 2,300 Administrative expenses $ 3,900 $ 44 $ 7 For example, administrative expenses should be $3,900 per month plus $44 per course plus $7 per student. The company’s sales should average $890 per student. The company planned to run four courses with a total of 62 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 56 students.

Final answer:

The planning budget for September, based on 4 courses and 62 students, calculated total expenses of $17,467 and expected revenue of $55,180. The flexible budget was recalculated based on having 4 courses and 56 students, with expenses of $17,629 and revenue of $49,840. Variances between the flexible budget and actuals showed an unfavorable revenue variance of $2,440 and expense variance of $1,387.

Explanation:

The planning budget would be based on the planned courses and student numbers. The calculation includes fixed costs, plus variable costs for each course and student. Considering 4 courses and 62 students, the total expenses come out to be $17,467, while expected revenue would be $55,180 ($890 per student).

The flexible budget would adjust the planned budget based on actual results. Here, with the same 4 courses but only 56 students, the adjusted expenses are $17,629, and the actual revenue is $49,840.

The revenue and spending variances for September can then be calculated by comparing actual results to the flexible budget. The revenue variance is $2,440 unfavorable ($52,280 - $49,840), while the spending variance is $1,387 unfavorable ($19,016 - $17,629).

If a corporation repurchases its debt, which of the following statements are TRUE? I The corporation's capitalization will increase
II The corporation's capitalization will decrease
III The market value of the common stock will increase
IV The market value of the common stock will decrease

Answers

Answer:

II and III

Explanation:

The best answer is ii and iii. If a corporation repurchases its debt, then its capitalization will decrease. Corporations   repurchase debt to refinance at smaller interest rates so as to To increase the market value of the corporation's common stock. If corporation has less debt, the common stock would have more value and to reduce the corporation's earnings fluctuation's due to cyclical conditions. Corporate sales fall because of cyclical conditions, but fixed interest charges do not. This causes earnings for common shareholders to reduce in period of falling sales. To reduce this possibility, a corporation can repurchase its debt.
