A local car wash uses 15 containers of soap during each of the 50 weeks they operate per year.

 

A local car wash uses 15 containers of soap during each of the 50 weeks they operate per year. Each container costs $25, setup (ordering) costs are $18 and holding costs for each unit is $2.5 per year. Assume the car wash currently purchases 160 containers per order. What is the total cost before and after using the optimal EOQ quantity (assuming there is no safety stock)? Answer question as (total cost before optimal quantity, total cost with optimal quantity).

Note: Choose the answer that is closest to your results.

Suppose corn producers are in a perfectly competitive industry where all the firms are identicj with identical cost curves. In this industry the market price for a bushel of corn is $400. Suppose that a representative firm’s total cost is given by the equation TC=500 + q2 + 200q where q is the quantity of output produced by an individual firm. The firms MC curve equation based upon its TC curve equation is MC =2q + 200. Given this information and your answer in part (a), what is the firms profit maximizing level of productivity ion, total revenue, total cost and profit at this market equilibrium?

The profit maximizing output for an individual firm will be ____________ and the profit for an individual firm will be _________________

Suppose that as a financial manager you have collected the following information on your company.

Before-tax cost of debt 6.5%
Tax rate 40%
Total long term debt $400,000
Cost of preferred stock 7.25%
Total preferred stock $50,000
Cost of common stock 11%
Total common stock $500,000

Mirabile Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below:

     
Processing $ 5,945
Supervising $ 19,680
Other $ 11,300
 

Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below:

  MHs
(Processing)
Batches
(Supervising)
Product M0 13,700 400
Product M5 800 400
Total 14,500 800
 

Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.

  Product M0 Product M5
Sales (total) $ 81,800 $ 94,400
Direct materials (total) $ 29,400 $ 32,300
Direct labor (total) $ 28,700 $ 42,600
 

What is the product margin for Product M5 under activity-based costing?
