Oscar Clemente is the manager of Forbes Division of Pitt, Inc., a manufacturer of biotech products. Forbes Division, which has $6.9 million in assets, manufactures a special testing device. At the beginning of the current year, Forbes invested $6.6 million in automated equipment for test machine assembly. The division's expected income statement at the beginning of the year was as follows:Sales revenue $ 24,000,000 Operating costs Variable 3,600,000 Fixed (all cash) 9,100,000 Depreciation New equipment 2,300,000 Other 2,850,000 Division operating profit $ 6,150,000 A sales representative from LSI Machine Company approached Oscar in October. LSI has for $8.1 million a new assembly machine that offers significant improvements over the equipment Oscar bought at the beginning of the year. The new equipment would expand division output by 10 percent while reducing cash fixed costs by 5 percent. It would be depreciated for accounting purposes over a 3-year life. Depreciation would be net of the $660,000 salvage value of the new machine. The new equipment meets Pitt's 12 percent cost of capital criterion. If Oscar purchases the new machine, it must be installed prior to the end of the year. For practical purposes, though, Oscar can ignore depreciation on the new machine because it will not go into operation until the start of the next year. The old machine, which has no salvage value, must be disposed of to make room for the new machine. Pitt has a performance evaluation and bonus plan based on residual income. Income includes any losses on disposal of equipment. Pitt uses a cost of capital of 12 percent in computing residual income. Investment is computed based on the end-of-year balance of assets, net book value. Ignore taxes. Oscar Clemente is still assessing the problem of whether to acquire LSI’s assembly machine. He learns that the new machine could be acquired next year, but if he waits until then, it will cost 11 percent more. The salvage value would still be $660,000.Required:Calculate the residual income for the coming year assuming that the new equipment is bought at the beginning of the year. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount. Enter your answers in thousands of dollars not in millions of dollars)Residual Income =

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase. some students suggest that the price increased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. other students attribute the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in college student enrollment.1. the first group of students thinks the increase in the price of cheeseburgers is due to the fact that the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. (what happened to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)2. the second group of students attributes the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to the increase in college student enrollment. (what happens to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)3. suppose that both of the events you analyzed above are partly responsible for the increase in the price of cheeseburgers. based on your analysis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the increase in the price of cheeseburgers? (choose a, b, c, or d)a)if the price increase was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift. b)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift. c)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift. d)whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.
