Knight Corporation produces and sells one product. Knight has provided the following annual per unit cost data at an activity level of 100,000 units: $ Per Unit Sales 100.00 Direct labor 25.00 Direct material 30.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 10.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead 20.00 Variable selling expenses 5.00 Fixed selling expenses 4.00 Fixed administrative expenses 8.00 The relevant range for is 90,000 - 120,000 units. You will be given facts for three different options. Using the facts given, calculate amounts as directed below. Take each option independent of the others (start with the original information given for each). You must enter your answer in the following format: $x,xxx At the current level of activity, calculate the following: Total sales revenue Blank 1 Total contribution margin Blank 2 Total fixed expenses Blank 3 Knight is thinking about taking a price reduction approach to increasing net income. The company believes that a 5% reduction in sales price will increase volume by 10%. Simultaneously, there will be a change in suppliers for direct material that will result in lowering direct material costs by 10%. Calculate the following: Total sales revenue Blank 4 Total contribution margin Blank 5 Total fixed expenses Blank 6 Knight is also considering an approach that will not alter sales price. The company believes that by laying off non-productive workers they can reduce direct labor to 20% of sales. Combined with a $5,000 increase in advertising per month, they estimate sales will increase 2% over current sales. Calculate the following: Total sales revenue Blank 7 Total contribution margin Blank 8 Total fixed expenses Blank 9

Decision Problem 1
Your friend, Amin Akmali, has asked your advice about the effects that certain business
transactions will have on his business. His business, Car Finders, finds the best deals on
automobiles for clients. Time is short, so you cannot journalize transactions. Instead, you
must analyze the transactions and post them directly to T-accounts. Akmali will continue in
the business only if he can expect to earn monthly net income of $8,000. The business had
the following transactions during March 2017:
a. Akmali deposited $50,000 cash in a business bank account.
b. The business borrowed $8,000 cash from the bank, which is recorded as a note payable
due within one year.
c. Purchased for cash a vehicle to drive clients to appointments, $27,000.
d. Paid $1,600 cash for supplies.
e. Paid cash for advertising in the local newspaper, $1,200.
f. Paid the following cash expenses for one month: commission, $12,400; office rent, $800;
utilities, $600; gas, $1,000; interest, $200.
g. Earned revenue on account, $20,600.
h. Earned $7,500 revenue and received cash.
i. Collected cash from customers on account, $2,400.
Required
1. Open the following T-accounts: Cash; Accounts Receivable; Supplies; Vehicle; Notes
Payable; Amin Akmali, Capital; Advising Revenue; Advertising Expense; Interest
Expense; Rent Expense; Commission Expense; Gas Expense; Utilities Expense.
2. Record the transactions directly in the T-accounts without using a journal. Identify each
transaction by its letter.
3. Prepare an unadjusted trial balance at March 31, 2017. List expenses alphabetically.
4. Compute the amount of net income or net loss for this first month of operations. Would
you recommend Akmali continue in business?

Exercise 1. Monopoly with Linear Costs facing a Linear Demand
A monopoly has the cost function c(y)=10y+100, and is facing a market demand D(p)=100-2p.
a) What is the inverse demand function, p(y)? Having profits be π = p(y)∙y – c(y), what is the profit maximizing output level? What is the corresponding market price?

b) Calculate the monopolist’s profit and producer surplus. What is the consumer surplus? What is the deadweight loss?

c) The government imposes a production tax, tP=10, so that the new cost function is c(y)=(10+tP)y+100. What happens to y and p? What happens to the firm’s profit and producer surplus? What happens to consumer surplus and the deadweight loss? How much is tax revenue?

d) The government imposes instead a lump sum tax, T=300, so that the new cost function is c(y)=10y+100+T. What happens to y and p? What happens to the firm’s profit and producer surplus? What happens to consumer surplus and the deadweight loss?

e) The government imposes instead a sales tax, tS=25%, so that the new demand function is D(p)=100-2p(1+tS). What happens to y and p? What happens to the firm’s profit and producer surplus? What happens to consumer surplus and the deadweight loss? How much is tax revenue?

f) The government imposes instead a profit tax, τ=40%, so that the new profit function is π=(1- τ)[p(y)∙y–c(y)]. What happens to y and p? What happens to the firm’s profit and producer surplus? What happens to consumer surplus and the deadweight loss? How much is tax revenue?
