Dr Investment in bonds 240,000,000
Dr Premium on investment in bonds 40,000,000
Cr Cash 280,000,000
December 31, 2021
Dr Cash 12,000,000
Cr Interest revenue 8,400,000
Cr Premium on investment in bonds 3,600,000
b. At what amount will Mills report its investment in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
Investment in bonds $240,000,000
Premium on investment in bonds $36,400,000
c. Suppose Moody's bond rating agency upgraded the risk rating of the bonds, and Mills decided to sell the investment on January 2, 2022, for $290 million. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale.
January 2, 2022
Dr Cash 290,000,000
Cr Investment in bonds 240,000,000
Cr Premium on investment in bonds 36,400,000
Cr Gain on sale of investments 13,600,000
Explanation:
effective interest rate on first coupon received = ($240,000,000 x 5%) - ($280,000,000 x 3%) = $12,000,000 - $8,400,000 = $3,600,000
Premium on investment in bonds = $40,000,000 - $3,600,000 = $36,400,000

Should the home country be "large" relative to the world, its imposition of a tariff on imports would lead to an increase in domestic welfare if the terms-of-trade effect exceeds the sum of the:_________
a. revenue effect plus redistribution effect.
b. protective effect plus revenue effect.
c. consumption effect plus redistribution effect.
d. production distortion effect plus consumption distortion effect.
e. None of the above.
Answer:
Option e. is correct
Explanation:
The Terms of Trade is equal to the average price of exports / by the average price of imports. The terms-of-trade refers to the relative price of exports in terms of imports.
Protective effect refers to the wasted resources due to production of good at a higher cost. Consumption effect refers to the loss to consumer due to higher price that leads to less consumption.
Should the home country be "large" relative to the world, its imposition of a tariff on imports would lead to an increase in domestic welfare if the terms-of-trade effect exceeds the sum of the protective effect plus consumption effect
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 4.4%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 14% 34% Bond fund (B) 5% 28% The correlation between the fund returns is 0.0214. What is the expected return and standard deviation for the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds
Answer:
Explanation:
Expected Return stock fund ([tex]E_{rs[/tex]) = 14% = 0.14, Expected Return bond fund ([tex]E_{rb[/tex]) = 5% = 0.05, Standard Deviation stock fund ([tex]\sigma_s[/tex]) = 34% = 0.34, Standard Deviation bond fund ([tex]\sigma_b[/tex]) = 28% = 0.28, correlation (ρ) between the fund returns is 0.0214
Plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against investment banks alleging that they inflated prices on more than 300 IPOs, causing IPO investors to overpay for stock, and unlawfully benefited these banks through overcompensation of banking commissions and profits made through quick sales of this stock in their own accounts before prices settled into a more realistic valuation. How would you combat such abuses going forward
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
When we think about investment, individuals and firms should understand the risks before they invest their money, and also the loss risks.
When investing in a business or a corporation that you may work for, it is vital to understand and be clear on the fine print and also the 180-dayhold. It is vital on any purchase to understand the risks and rules which come along with it especially stocks.
It is crucial to the success of an individual, that research is done in order to make sure everything is understood prior to the stock sale.
On the other side, federal banking regulators committee should also do a better job with the investigations and the enforcements of bank and the stock regulations.
Pickup Company acquired 100 percent of the voting common shares of Sedan Corporation by issuing bonds with a par value and fair value of $200,000. Immediately prior to the acquisition, Pickup reported total assets of $600,000, liabilities of $370,000, and stockholders’ equity of $230,000. At that date, Sedan reported total assets of $500,000, liabilities of $300,000, and stockholders’ equity of $200,000. Included in Sedan’s liabilities was an account payable to Pickup in the amount of $50,000, which Pickup included in its accounts receivable.
Based on the preceding information, what amount of total assets did Pickup report in its balance sheet immediately after the acquisition?
a. 1,100,000
b. 1,000,000
c. 800,000
d. 1,600,000
Answer:
c. $800,000
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Beta reported total assets = $600,000
Fair value of investment = $200,000
The computation of total assets is shown below:-
Total assets did beta report = Beta reported total assets + Fair value of investment
= $600,000 + $200,000
= $800,000
Therefore for computing the total assets did beta report we simply added the beta reported total assets with fair value of investment.
Elasticity and Demand for Food
A. Consider the information on real-world price elasticities for ten countries. Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.? What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
B. The government wants to maximize its tax revenue. Revenue is equal to the amount of the tax times the quantity of goods sold (i.e., revenue Tax . Q). Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
Answer:
Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.?
The price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S. because Tanzania is a much poorer country than the U.S., and a rise in food prices leads immediately to a large drop in demand, since most people will simply not have enough income to meet demand.
What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
This implies that people in Tanzania spend less money on food, but also spend a larger share of their income on it.
Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
The tax on gasoline will provide more funds because gasoline is a good that is way more inelastic than restaurant meals.
If restaurant meals become more expensive because of the tax, people will simply stop eating-out, and prepare home meals instead.
Gasoline, on the other hand, is very inelastic, and even if the price goes up a lot because of a very high tax, car owners will still have to purchase it, raising government revenue.
ive years ago, NorthWest Water (NWW) issued $50,000,000 face value of 30-year bonds carrying a 14% (annual payment) coupon. NWW is now considering refunding these bonds. It has been amortizing $3 million of flotation costs on these bonds over their 30-year life. The company could sell a new issue of 25-year bonds at an annual interest rate of 11.67% in today's market. A call premium of 14% would be required to retire the old bonds, and flotation costs on the new issue would amount to $3 million. NWW's marginal tax rate is 40%. The new bonds would be issued when the old bonds are called. Refer to the data for NorthWest Water (NWW). What is the required after-tax refunding investment outlay, i.e., the cash outlay at the time of the refunding?
Answer:
the required after-tax refunding investment Outlay is $6,200,000
Explanation:
Given that:
NorthWest Water (NWW) issued $50,000,000 face value
Time of issuance = 5 years ago
Bond = 30
Annual coupon payment = 14%
Amortizing amount of floating costs on these bonds over the 30 - year life is $3 million
Also;The company could sell a new issue of 25-year bonds at an annual interest rate of 11.67% in today's market.
Call premium = 14%
NWW's marginal tax rate is 40%
The objective from the given data set is to find the required after-tax refunding investment outlay, i.e., the cash outlay at the time of the refunding.
Initial Outlay = After tax call premium + Floatation cost - Unexpensed float cost
Initial Outlay = [tex](0.14 *50,000,000) + (1 - 0.40)+ $3,000,000 - ($3,000,000)*(\dfrac{25}{30})*0.40[/tex]
Initial Outlay [tex]=4,200,000+ 3,000,000-1,000,000[/tex]
Initial Outlay = $6,200,000
Therefore ; the required after-tax refunding investment Outlay is $6,200,000
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a company follows a policy of "matching maturities," this means that it matches its use of short-term debt with its use of long-term debt. b. If a company follows a policy of "matching maturities," this means that it matches its use of common stock with its use of long-term debt as opposed to short-term debt. c. Net working capital is defined as current assets minus the sum of payables and accruals, and any decrease in the current ratio automatically indicates that net working capital has decreased. d. Although short-term interest rates have historically averaged less than long-term rates, the heavy use of short-term debt is considered to be an aggressive strategy because of the inherent risks associated with using short-term financing. e. Net working capital is defined as current assets minus the sum of payables and accruals, and any increase in the current ratio automatically indicates that net working capital has increased.
Answer: d. Although short-term interest rates have historically averaged less than long-term rates, the heavy use of short-term debt is considered to be an aggressive strategy because of the inherent risks associated with using short-term financing.
Explanation:
Using short term financing is generally considered to be an aggressive strategy and is more often than not frowned upon by investors.
This is because of the reputational risk involved. A company that keeps using short term financing gives off the impression that it is barely keeping afloat and therefore relying on short term loans to continue functioning.
Other risks involved include, short term loans are usually given in small quantities so they cannot be used effectively as they will bareky go anywhere in terms of investment and their payback installment schedule can be in weeks instead of months like long term financing which can be detrimental to survival.
This is as opposed to a Conservative Approach that uses long term financing to finance most of it's Working Capital.

Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.
Commercial Residential
Revenues $300,000 $480,000
Direct materials costs $30,000 $50,000
Direct labor costs 100,000 300,000
Overhead costs 85,000 215,000 150,000 500,000
Operating income (loss) $85,000 $(20,000)
The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel $85,000 Hours of travel
Setup time 90,000 Number of setups
Supervision 60,000 Direct labor cost
Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product
Commercial Residential
Scheduling and travel 750 500
Setup time 350 250
What should Peggy Kingman do?
Answer and Explanation:
The explanation is shown below:-
First we need to find out the activity based overhead rates
Activity Estimated overhead Basis Quantity Activity based
cost overhead rates
Travel
and Scheduling $85,000 Hours of 1,250 $68
travel (700 + 500)
Set up time $90,000 Number of 600 $150
setups (350 + 250)
Supervision $60,000 Direct labor $400,000 15%
cost ($100,000 + $300,000)
Now we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to commercial which is shown below:-
Activity Activity based Actual allocation of Overhead
overhead rates cost drivers assigned
Travel and
Scheduling $68 750 $51,000
Set up time $150 350 $52,500
Supervision 15% $100,000 $15,000
Total $118,500
For computing the overhead assigned we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.
after this we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to residential which is shown below:-
Activity Activity based Actual allocation of Overhead
overhead rates cost drivers
Travel and
Scheduling $68 500 $34,000
Set up time $150 250 $37,500
Supervision 15% $300,000 $45,000
Total $116,500
For computing the overhead we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.
Finally we need to find out the operating income or loss for the commercial and residual which is shown below:-
Particulars Commercial Residential
Sales revenue $300,000 $480,000
Less: Direct material cost $30,000 $50,000
Less: Direct labor cost $100,000 $300,000
Less: Overhead costs
assigned $118,500 $116,500
Operating income (loss) $51,500 $15,500
The Peggy Kingman should establish the cost to be assigned based on the product lines for overhead cost as the Peggy Kingman is more focused to the overhead cost which were based on the activity cost drivers. Moreover, it shows a profit earned on residential product line
In Year 1, Sandy and Chris have adjusted gross income of $200,000. During the year, they provided more than half of the support for both of their unmarried adult children, Megna and Britt. Both children live near the colleges they are attending. Megna is a 25-year-old full-time graduate student with no earned income. Britt is a 22-year-old part-time student with $15,000 earned income from a part-time job. What is the total amount of child tax credit (including credit for other dependents), if any, that Sandy and Chris can claim on their Year 1 joint income tax return
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
Even though Megna and Britt are above the age of 17 and as such do not qualify for the child tax credit, they qualify for the Credit for Other Dependants.
Under this Credit, $500 can be deducted per dependant if certain conditions are fulfilled such as the dependents having a valid American identity number such as ATIN, ITIN, or SSN.
The dependants have to be your children or elderly parents.
With $500 in credit available per dependant and Sandy and Chris having 2 dependants in Megna and Britt, they can get a credit of $1,000 for the both of them.
The balance sheet of Hidden Valley Farms reports total assets of $810,000 and $945,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. The return on assets for the year is 15%. What is Hidden Valley's net income for the year
Answer:
$131,625
Explanation:
The computation of the net income for the year is shown below:
As we know that
Return on assets = net income ÷ average assets
0.15 = net income ÷ ($810,000 + $945,000) ÷ 2
0.15 = net income ÷ $877,500
So, the net income is
= $877,500 × 0.15
= $131,625
hence, the net income for the year is $131,625
We simply applied the above formula

When landlords wrongfully withhold security deposits, they can often be sued for three times the amount of the security deposit. Is this reasonable? Should a landlord have to pay $3000 for a $1000 debt? What if you fail to pay a rent on time? Should you have to pay three times the amount of your normal rent? If your answers to these two questions are different, why is that?
Answer:
yes it is reasonable
Explanation:
subsection 12 of chapter 4 of the articles of lease-rental agreement states that if a landlord wrongfully withhold security deposits the landlord must pay 3x the amount due to all legal actions and no we don't have to pay 3x rent if we miss a payment we only have to pay the late fee and any other listed fees listed on your lease
After hearing a knock at your front door, you are surprised to see the Prize Patrol from a large, well-known magazine subscription company. It has arrived with the good news that you are the big winner, having won $34 million. You have three options. (a) Receive $1.7 million per year for the next 20 years. (b) Have $11.5 million today. (c) Have $3.25 million today and receive $1,400,000 for each of the next 20 years. Your financial adviser tells you that it is reasonable to expect to earn 14 percent on investments.
Answer:
The requirement is to calculate the present value of each option:
$ 11.26 million
$11.5 million
$ 12.52 million
Explanation:
The present value formula in excel is very useful in this case:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the 14% interest rate to be earned per year
nper is duration of the payment
pmt is the amount of payment expected per year
fv is the is the future worth of the payment which is unknown
Option 1:
=-pv(14%,20,1.7,0)=$ 11.26 million
Option 2:
The amount receivable today is the present value i.e $11.5 million
option 3:
=-pv(14%,20,1.4,0)=$9.27 million
total =amount received today+$ 9.27 million=$3.25 million+$ 9.27 millon=$ 12.52 million

Find the value of C, which makes the following two cash flow series equivalent. Assume that the market interest rate is 6% per year. Note: There are multiple approaches to solving this problem so be sure to consider the computational efficiencies of each approach before starting! $400 $400 $400 $400 $400 $125 $125 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 o 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -$250 $250 $250
Answer:
Find attached complete question.
$ 750.10
Explanation:
In order to ascertain the value of C ,we need to equate the present value of the two streams of cash flows to each other as follows:
first stream:
$400/(1+6%)^1+$400/(1+6%)^2+$125/(1+6%)^3+$400/(1+6%)^4+$400/(1+6%)^5+$125/(1+6%)^6+$400/(1+6%)^7=$1,808.19
Second stream:
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7
-$250/(1+6%)^3-$250/(1+6%)^4-$250/(1+6%)^5=-$594.74
C/(1+6%)^1+C/(1+6%)^2+C/(1+6%)^6+C/(1+6%)^7=C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651
simplification
C/0.9434+C/0.8900+C/ 0.7050+C/ 0.6651=C/(0.9434+0.8900+0.7050+0.6651)= 0.31216C
All in all:
$1,808.19 =-$594.74+ 0.31216C
$1,808.19+$594.74= 0.31216C
$2402.93 = 0.31216C
C=$2402.93* 0.31216 =$ 750.10

Answer:
B) YI, VP, WX
Explanation:
VP YI WX
Selling price per unit
$248.04 $230.66 $505.44
Variable cost per unit
190.71 $172.14 $388.80
Contribution margin per unit
(Selling price - variable cost)

The amount of the constrained resource that would be required to produce one unit
3.90 3.80 8.10
Therefore:
$57.33÷3.90=$14,70
$58.52÷3.80 =$15.40
$116.64÷8.10=$14.40
Therefore the Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource would be
$14.70 $15.40 $14.40
Therefore the Ranking the products in order of their current profitability from most profitable to least profitable would be:
YI =$15.90
VP=$14.70
WX=$14.40

Digger Inc. sells a high-speed retrieval system for mining information. It provides the following information for the year.
Budgeted Actual
Overhead cost $975,000 $950,000
Machine hours 50,000 45,000
Direct labor hours 100,000 92,000
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
b. Determine the amount of overhead applied for the year.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours
Overhead applied = $897,000
Explanation:
Given:
Budgeted Overhead cost = $975,000
Actual Overhead cost = $950,000
Budgeted Machine hours = 50,000
Actual Machine hours = 45,000
Budgeted Direct labor hours = 100,000
Actual Direct labor hours = 92,000
Computation:
(a) Predetermined overhead rate.
Predetermined overhead rate = budgeted overhead cost / budgeted direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = $975,000 / 100,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours
(b) Amount of overhead applied for the year.
Overhead applied = Actual hours × Predetermined overhead rate
Overhead applied = 92000 × $9.75
Overhead applied = $897,000
Crowding out is associated with:
a. an increase in business investment resulting from an increase in government borrowing and higher interest rates.
b. a reduction in business investment resulting from an increase in government borrowing and higher interest rates.
c. an increase in private savings caused by higher future tax liabilities when government increases borrowing.
d. a decrease in government spending caused by a shortage of available credit.
Answer:
b. a reduction in business investment resulting from an increase in government borrowing and higher interest rates.
Explanation:
According to the crowding out theory, when there is an increase in government spending, private spending would be reduced.
When the government borrows, real interest rate would increase and this would reduce private sector spending.

Lloyd Inc. has sales of $250,000, a net income of $20,000, and the following balance sheet: Cash $51,000 Accounts payable $63,600 Receivables 118,800 Notes payable to bank 40,800 Inventories 294,000 Total current liabilities $104,400 Total current assets $463,800 Long-term debt 82,800 Net fixed assets 136,200 Common equity 412,800 Total assets $600,000 Total liabilities and equity $600,000 The new owner thinks that inventories are excessive and can be lowered to the point where the current ratio is equal to the industry average, 2.5x, without affecting sales or net income. If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur, by how much will the ROE change? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % What will be the firm's new quick ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur The ROE will be of 9.4%
The firm's new quick ratio is 3.95
Explanation:
To calculate how much will the ROE change we have to calculate first the current ratio as follows:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 times = (Cash + receivables + Inventories ) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)
2.5 = ($51,000 + $118,800 + Inventories) / $104,400
$169,000 + inventories = $261,000
Inventories = $92,000
Therefore, $202,000 worth of inventories were sold off.
If the funds generated are used to reduce the common equity that is by repurchasing the equity at book value.
Hence, the common equity amounts to $210,800
Calculating the ROE before the inventory is sold off:
ROE = Net income / Steockholder's equity
= $20,000 / $412,800
= 0.048 or 4.8%
Calculating the ROE after selling off the inventory:
ROE = $20,000 / $210,800
= 0.094 or 9.4%
If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur The ROE will be of 9.4%
The firm's new quick ratio is
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) / Current liabilities
= ($463,800 - $92,000) / $104,400
= 3.95
The residents of Alaska and people throughout the world were outraged when the Exxon Valdez crashed into a shoal and dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. People were upset with Exxon's response to the disaster. The company was slow to admit its mistake and even slower to implement cleanup activities. Exxon was criticized for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society. In short, Exxon did not demonstrate:___________.
1. Social responsibility
2. Value conciousness
3. Gray marketing
4. Profit responsibility
5. Transactional marketing
Answer:
1. Social responsibility.
Explanation:
Social responsibility is an ethical principle or business practice that supports, that individuals or business entities are required to fulfil civic duties, such as welfare, charity, etc. for the benefit of the society at large.
Simply stated, it incorporates sustainable societal development into business models. A company's social responsibility involves the process of creating a balance between economic growth, societal welfare and largely it's environment.
In this scenario, Exxon was slow to own up to it's error and even slower in implementing cleanup activities of the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Sequel to this, it was criticized by the residents of Alaska and others around the world for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society.
Hence, Exxon did not demonstrate social responsibility.
An insurance company faces an ethical dilemma. A faulty computer program designed to evaluate insurance claims has been denying a high number of valid claims. A meeting has been arranged where senior management would decide how to handle the situation. The people at the table have varying views of what action to take and why.Han wants to report the error and reimburse the affected customers immediately because he believes he could end up being fired if the company's reputation suffers because of the issue. Jamila wants to report the error because it is the honest thing to do, and therefore necessary.After hearing his colleagues' opinions, Keith says he is willing to do whatever the more experienced managers in the group recommend.Several other managers believe the company should correct the problem going forward but not do anything about the customers who lost out on past payments.Assume the meeting ends with the managers deciding not to do anything about the customers who are owed money for past claims. Lori, an employee who was present in the meeting, disagrees with the decision and gives an anonymous tip to a newspaper reporter about the unethical behavior. Which of the following best describes the action taken by Lori?A) Unethical stanceB) WhistleblowingC) ShadowingD) RelativismE) Ethnocentrism
Answer: B) Whistleblowing
Explanation:
Whistleblowing is an act where someone in a company discloses unethical practices usually from the entity that they work in. It is a very risky thing to do because it could signal the end of one's career in a certain industry.
Whistleblowing however helps in contributing to entities staying ethical because they'd rather avoid the bad publicity that comes with it and this is why most companies have a whistleblowing policy to make it easier for people to come forward.
Whistleblowing can be done to the Government, the press or even the entity at fault itself.
Lori by giving an anonymous tip to the press about unethical behavior has engaged in Whistleblowing.
Examples of some well known Whistleblowers include, Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning.
Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $16. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $32. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 100 more hours of machine time can be obtained?
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
khaki shorts khaki pants
machine minutes per unit 15 24
contribution margin per unit $16 $32
CM per machine minute $1.067 $1.33
minimum demand 3,000 3,000
machine minutes required 45,000 72,000
total machine minutes available 288,000
total machine minutes remaining 171,000
production 0 7,125
total production 3,000 10,125
total contribution margin $48,000 $324,000
if 100 more machines hours are added, then production time increases by 6,000 minutes which can be used to produce 250 more khaki pants. Contribution margin will increase by 250 x $32 = $8,000
I calculated contribution margin per minute, but you could also calculate contribution margin per hour to determine which product is more profitable. Contribution margin per hour for shorts = $64, and for pants = $80. The answer will not change.
