in one paragraph describe the general advantages and drawbacks of the premium pricing strategy.For exapmle, explain where it falls on the intersection of quality and price.
Please dont copy paste from the internet, will be flagged.
Answer:
The main advantage resulting from a premium pricing strategy is the higher profits. Another advantage is that customers that purchase premium products seek higher quality and tend to show higher brand loyalty associated with the status of using premium products. The disadvantages of premium pricing are that it cannot be applied to all products, the marketing efforts tend to be more specific, and therefore, represent a higher percentage of sales, and finally, not everyone is willing to pay premium prices.
An entrepreneur recently purchased Cocoon's, a local deli, on the beach. To operate the business, she estimates that selling and administrative expenses will be $98,510.00 per year and that depreciation will be $20,000.00 per year. As part of her purchase, she took out a bank loan that will require $76,265.00 per year in interest. She anticipates paying a 32.00% tax rate on income. She estimates that the deli will attract 200.00 customers per day. Each customer will spend $12.00 on average. The cost of goods per customer will be $4.50. She will operate the deli 350.00 days per year. What is the projected net profit margin for the deli
Answer:
27%
Explanation:
The computation of the net profit margin is shown below;
As we know that
net profit margin = Net profit ÷ sales
where
net profit is
Particulars Amount
Sales (200 customers × $12 × 350 days) $840,000
Less: cost of goods sold (200 customers × $4.50 × 350 days) -$315,000
Gross profit $525,000
Less:
Selling and admin expense -$98,510
Depreciation expense - $20,000
Bank loan interest -$76,265
Net income before tax $330,225
Less tax at 32% -$105,672
Net income after tax $224,553
Now the net profit margin is
= $224,553 ÷ $840,000
= 27%

Explanation:
(a) Preparation of the entry to record the interest expense at October 1, 2020. Assume that accrued interest payable was credited when the bonds were issued.
Dr Interest Payable $75,717
[($4,130,000*0.11)/2*(2/6)]
Dr Interest expense $154,233
[($4,130,000*.11)/2*(4/6) + $2,800]
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $2,800
($700*4)
Cr Cash $227,150
[ ( $4,130,000*.11)/2]
Calculation for the discount per month
First step is to calculate the remaining months
Months remaining= (10 years *12-2)
Months remaining=118 months
Second step is to calculate the Total discount
Total Discount=$4,130,000-($4,130,000*.98)
total discount=$4,130,000-$4,047,400
total discount=$82,600
Now let calculate the discount per month
Discount per month=($82,600/118)
Discount per month=$700
(b) Preparation of the entry to record the conversion on April 1, 2021
Dr Bonds payable $1,548,750
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $28,350
Cr Common Stock$504,000
(24,000*$21)
Cr Paid-in capital in excess of par- Common Stock $1,073,100
[$1,548,750+$28,350-($504,000)]
Calculation for Unamortized bond discount
Discount of the bonds $30,975
($82,600*(3/8))
Less Discount amortized ($2,625)
[($82,600/118)*10 years*(3/8)]
Unamortized bond discount $28,350
($30,975-$2,625)

Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result, they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?
Answer:
It will decrease prior service cost and, as prior service cost is amortized, will decrease pension expense.
Explanation:
In the given if there is any change in the projected benefit obligation so the pension expense would impact in the present and future period by reducing the service cost that incurred before also the service cost that incurred before would be amortized that ultimately reduce the pension expense
Therefore the first option is correct
a) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $111,111 received every year. The first cash flow occurs in year 1. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate. b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate. c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.
Answer:
a) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $111,111 received every year. The first cash flow occurs in year 1. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.
PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $111,111 / 11% = $1,010,100
b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.
PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $222,222 / (11% x 2) = $1,010,100
c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.
PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $333,333 / (11% x 3) = $1,010,100
Explanation:
Since the interest rate is simple, not compounded, the three perpetuities have the same present value.

Mortensen Industries, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,240 Units started and completed during the period: 6,100 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
Answer:
60%
Explanation:
Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:
First step is to calculate the Total materials
Total equivalent units of materials + Units started and completed during the period = Total materials or 6,100 + x = 8,000; x = 1,900 (8,100-6,100)
Second step is to calculate Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory
Using this formula
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory= Equivalent units of conversion –
Units started and completed during the period
Let plug in the formula
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory= 7,240 – 6,100
Partial units with conversion costs in ending inventory = 1,140 units
Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion= 1,140 ÷1,900
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion=0.6*100
Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion= 60%
Therefore the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%

On January 1, James Company reported total current assets of $658,000 and total current liabilities of $365,000. During the year, James purchased $2,000 worth of equipment for cash, paid $560 towards salaries, and borrowed $80,000 from its bank to be repaid after 5 years. How much working capital does the company have as of December 31
Answer:
$370,440
Explanation:
The computation of the working capital is as follows:
As we know that
Working capital = Current asset - current liabilities
where,
Current Assets is
= Total current assets - purchase of an equipment - salaries - borrowed amount
= $658,000 - $2,000 - $560 + $80,000
= $735,440
And, Current Liabilities is $365,000
So, the working capital is
= $735,440 - $365,000
= $370,440

You have purchased one call option expiring in one year with a strike price of $40. The current price of the underlying is $30, the interest rate is zero, and the premium for the call option is $2.63.
1) Draw the payoff and P&L diagrams for the call option at expiration.
2) What is the P&L on the option at expiration if the underlying is $57.50 (i.e. S1 = 57.5)?
Solution :
2). Calculation of the P & L on the option at expiration if underlying price is $ 57. 50
As the underlying price is more than the exercise price, the option is exercised.
The initial cash flow = - $ 2.63
Cash flow at the expiration = $ 57.50 - $ 40
= $ 17.50
Therefore, profit = $ 17.50 - $ 2.63
= $ 15.07
1). The strike price or the exercise price = $ 40
Premium for call option = $ 2.63

The following data relate to the Torrence Company for May and August:
May August
Maintenance hours 25000 29,000
Maintenance cost $1175,000 $1247,000
May and August were the lowest and highest activity levels, and Torrence uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. If maintenance hours are estimated to be 26,000 hours in October, which of the following statements is true?
a. The variable maintenance cost is $24 per hour.
b. The fixed maintenance cost is $72,000 per month.
c. More than one of the other answers is true.
d. The variable maintenance cost is $22 per hour.
e. The variable maintenance cost is $18 per hour.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $18 per unit
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary and fixed costs under the high-low method:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (1,247,000 - 1,175,000) / (29,000 - 25,000)
Variable cost per unit= $18 per unit
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 1,247,000 - (18*29,000)
Fixed costs= $725,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 1,175,000 - (18*24,000)
Fixed costs= $725,000
Total cost= 725,000 + 18*x
x= number of hours
For 26,000:
Total cost= 725,000 + 18*26,000
Total cost= $1,193,000
Problem 8-12 (Algo) A firm uses a serial assembly system and needs answers to the following: a. An output of 800 units per shift (8.00 hours) is desired for a new processing system. The system requires product to pass through four stations where the work content at each station is 32 seconds. What is the required cycle time for such a system
Answer:
the required time is 36 seconds
Explanation:
The computation of the required time is given below:
= Production time available ÷ desired output
= (8 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds) ÷ 800 units
= 28,800 ÷ 800
= 36 seconds
hence, the required time is 36 seconds

Hence, in the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage over rivals in the industry, the statement which is true of a top-line strategy is that, it focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. The top-line strategy ensures that the company continues to generate gross revenue or sales.
PCM Thermal Products uses austenitic nickel-chromium alloys to manufacture resistance heating wire. The company is considering a new annealing-drawing process to reduce costs. If the new process will cost $3.25 million dollars now, how much must be saved each year to recover the investment in 6 years at an interest rate of 15% per year
Answer:
the amount that need to be saved each year in order to recover the investment is $858,770
Explanation:
The computation of the amount saved each year is shown below:
= Costing of the new process × (A/P, 15%, 6)
= $3,250,000 × 0.26424
= $858,770
hence, the amount that need to be saved each year in order to recover the investment is $858,770
