Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Globalization or specifically, Economic Globalization, is a term that (differs from Political and Cultural Globalization) describes the distribution of products, services, technology, information, and jobs across various countries, continents, and cultures.

The advantages or pros of economic globalization includes the following:

1. Economic Globalization is expected to result in free trade that enhances global economic growth; leads to more jobs, makes firms extra competitive, and reduces the prices of products generally.

2. It promotes technological advancement, whereby developed countries utilizes and transfer capital-intensive production and technological advancement to developing countries, through the transfer of labor-intensive production processes.

3. It enhances the quality of life: this is shown when each country involves in a form of division of labor, production, and trade based on their strength and resources. This, in turn, leads to lesser production costs, increases productivity, and results in a better quality of life.

The disadvantages or cons of economic globalization includes the following:

1. Labor markets are exploited in terms of wages and salaries: this occurs whereby workers in developing regions are paid lesser compared to normal or international standards, thus the gap between the upper class and the lower class keeps increasing.

2. Tax Evasion: this occurs when some multinational firms find ways to exploit the tax and operation system of other countries, mostly the less developed and developing countries, so as to avoid paying the necessary taxes.

3. There is also a form of labor exploitation in terms of working conditions, as convicts and child laborers are sometimes encouraged to work in undesirable situations considered to be inhumane where safety standards are overlooked for the purpose of producing cheaper goods.

If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be?

24.23%

What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units?

$45,613.84

The degree of operating leverage (at 46,000 units)?

4.84

Explanation:

degree of operating leverage = [quantity x (price - variable costs)] / {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs}

degree of operating leverage x {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs} = [quantity x (price - variable costs)]

3.21 x {[53000 x (contribution margin)] - fixed costs} = [53000 x (contribution margin)]

(3.21 x 53000 x contribution margin) - (3.21 x 175000) = 53000 x contribution margin

let C = contribution margin

170130C - 561750 = 53000C

117130C = 561750

C = 561750 / 117130 = 4.795953

operating cash flow (at 53,000) = (53,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $79,185.52

operating cash flow (at 57,000) = (57,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $98,369.32

% change = ($98,369.32 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = 24.23%

operating cash flow (at 46,000) = (46,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $45,613.84

% change in operating cash flows = ($45,613.84 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = -43.4%

% change in sales = (46,000 - 53,000) / 53,000 = -13.21

degree of operating leverage = $220,613.84 / $45,613.74 = 4.84

Sager Industries is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $1,200,000 with a $300,000 residual value and a 10-year life. The equipment will replace three employees who has an average total wages of $180,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $7,500 per year.
Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment.

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of return = 11%

Explanation:

Depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Residual value) / Useful years

Depreciation = (1,200,000-300,000) / 10

Depreciation = 90,000

Increase in net annual income = 180,000 - 90,000 - 7,500

Increase in net annual income = 82,500

Average investment = (1,200,000 + 300,000) / 2 = 750,000

Average rate of return = Increase in net annual income / Average investment

Average rate of return = 82,500/750,000

Average rate of return = 0.11

Average rate of return = 11%

Assume that you are an intern with the Brayton Company, and you have collected the following data: The yield on the company's outstanding bonds is 7.75%; its tax rate is 40%; the next expected dividend is $0.65 a share; the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.00% a year; the price of the stock is $15.00 per share; the flotation cost for selling new shares is F = 10%; and the target capital structure is 45% debt and 55% common equity. What is the firm's WACC, assuming it must issue new stock to finance its capital budget?

Answers

Answer:

8.038%

Explanation:

For the computation of the firm's WACC first we need to find out the cost of equity which is shown below:-

Cost of equity = Expected dividend ÷ (Price of the stock × (1 - Flotation cost)) + Growth rate

= $0.65 ÷ ($15.00 × (1 - 10%)) + 6.00%

= 10.81%

Now

WACC = Weight debt × (Cost of debt) × (1 - Tax rate) + Weight of equity × Cost of equity

= 45% × 7.75% × (1 - 40%) + 55% × 10.81%

= 8.038%

Marston Manufacturing Company has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project? Reject the project Accept the project On what grounds do you base your accept–reject decision? Division H’s project should be accepted, as its return is greater than the risk-based cost of capital for the division. Division H’s project should be rejected since its return is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division.

Answers

Answer:

Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?

Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.

Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.

Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).

Explanation:

Division H's risk = 14%

Division L's risk = 8%

WACC = 11%

"Frank bought a house for $100,000. He put 20% down and borrowed the rest from the bank. However, the value of the house has now increased to $160,000 and he has paid off $20,000 of the bank loan. What is the equity that Frank has in his home

Answers

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

The computation of the equity in his home is shown below;

Given that

Increased in the value of the house = $160,000

And, the amount he has to paid is

= Borrowed amount - down payment

= $80,000 - ($100,000 × 20%)

= $80,000 - $20,000

= $60,000

So, the equity is

= $160,000 - $60,000

= $100,000

hence, the equity value is $100,000

Answer:

The equity that Frank has in his home is $100000

Explanation:

The purchase price of house = $100000

The down payment = 20% or $100000 ×20% = $20000

The remaining amount paid by bank = $80000

The increased value of house = $160,000

Payment of loan amount = $20000

The Value of house is $160000 and he pays $20000 to the bank as a part of loan payment so reaming amount that he has to pay the bank is ($80000-20000) = $60000.

Thus, his equity will be $100000.

Using the periodic FIFO inventory costing method, what is the cost of the ending inventory? (Assume all sales were made on the last day of the month.) Multiple Choice $3,405. $3,445. $3,200. $3,540. $3,270.

September: Purchases 12 units at $135-sales 8 units

November: Purchases 10 units at $140-sales 13 units

On December 31, there were 26 units remaining in ending inventory. Using the periodic FIFO inventory costing method, what is the cost of the ending inventory? (Assume all sales were made on the last day of the month.) Multiple Choice $3,405. $3,445. $3,200. $3,540. $3,270.

Answer:

The cost of ending inventory = $3,540

Explanation:

FIFO (First-in-first-out) inventory costing method is a costing method where the goods purchased first are sold first before those purchased at a later date.

In order to answer this question, let us first determine the total number of units of goods purchased during the year

Month         units

January       10

February     20

May             15

September  12

November   10

Total             67

Therefore a total of 67 units were  purchased  during the year.

Next, we are told that the ending inventory balance = 26 units

Therefore the number of units sold during the year = Total purchase - ending inventory = 67 - 26 = 41

41 units were sold during the year.

using the FIFO inventory method, the units purchased first are sold out first therefore, out of the 41 units sold:

January   = 10 units

February = 15 units

May         =  11 units

Total        = 41 units

This means that out of the 15 unit purchased in may, 11 units were sold, hence the number of units remaining = 15 - 11 = 4 units.

From this point up to November, forms the ending iniventory therefore, the the total ending inventory is calculated as follows:

Month          units          price per unit($)       Total($)

May                4                130                              520

September    12               135                            1,620

November     10               140                            1,400

Total               26                                                3,540

Therefore, the cost of ending inventory = $3,540

Bronco Corp. has decided to establish a subsidiary in Taiwan that will produce stereos and sell them locally in the country. It expects that its cost of producing these stereos will be one third the cost of producing them in the United States. Assuming that its production cost estimates are accurate, is Bronco‘s strategy sensible? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Based on the description provided it can be said that Bronco's strategy is not sensible. This is because Bronco Corp. has recognized an advantage of producing stereos in Taiwan as opposed to the U.S but this is only an advantage if they sell those same stereos that were produced in the Taiwan subsidiary to the U.S. markets. Otherwise they will be selling the stereos at a much lower price in the Taiwan market, which will ultimately not be an advantage.

       Cash                                                 $600 Cr

Explanation:

1.

The cost incurred to cover the day to day expenses related to an asset which does not increase the asset's useful life or benefit but merely maintains them are recorded as revenue expenditure. Such expenses are charged as expenses to the income statement. The cost incurred for oil change which is for maintenance purpose is a revenue expenditure.

2.

The cost incurred for capital expenditure is added to the cost of the asset and systematically charged to the income statement using the depreciation. Any expense that will increase the life or operating efficiency and benefit form a fixed asset is a capital expenditure and is capitalized by adding it to the cost of the asset. So, installation of a special gear unit giving increased efficiency is a capital expenditure.

Cara has received a special order from a foreign company for 5,000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $4,250 for shipping.

If Cara wants to break even on the order, what should the unit sales price be?

A. $4.2

B. $5.05

C.$1.8

D. $2.65

Answers

Answer:

Selling price= $2.65

Explanation:

Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 90,000/50,000= $1.8

Now, we can determine the total unitary cost and the selling price per unit:

Total unitary cost= (4,250/5,000) + 1.8= $2.65

Selling price= $2.65

b. Compute the standard cost of one unit of product.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 2,500

Each unit requires 3 pounds of materials at $6 per pound and 0.5 of labor at $16 per hour. The overhead rate is 75% of direct labor.

First, we need to calculate the total cost for direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead:

Direct material= (3*2,500)*6= $45,000

Direct labor= (0.5*2,500)*16= $20,000

Manufacturing overhead= 20,000*0.75= $15,000

Total cost= $80,000

Now, the unitary cost:

unitary cost= 80,000/2,500= $32

Now let calculate for the gain or loss using this formula

Gain/Loss = Carrying value- Stock bond

Let plug in the formula

Gain/Loss =$196,370-$196,000

Gain/Loss=$370

Therefore if ABC record on this date 12/31/2018, ABC will have a gain of $370

When convertible preferred stock is converted into common stock:______.
a. cash is debited.
b. a gain or loss can be recognized.

Answers

Answer:

b. a gain or loss can be recognized.

Explanation:

Convertible preferred stock is an option for shareholders with preferred shares where they have the choice of converting their preferred shares to common shares. The conversion is best done at a time when the common stock is above the conversion price. At this time, the stockholder can make a profit or gain. But if the common share is below the conversion price, the shareholder would most likely record a loss if he converts.

One disadvantage of this conversion process is that, once the preferred stock is converted to the common stock, the preferred shareholder gives up his rights as a preferred shareholder which includes no fixed dividends and higher claims on assets.

If you were to start a business delivering documents, you might need to purchase cell phones, bicycles, desks, and chairs. a. These purchases are called capital investment. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a saver. b. These purchases are called capital investment. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a borrower. c. These purchases are called consumption. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a saver. d. These purchases are called consumption. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a borrower.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Capital is what is used to start a business. It is what the owner's contribution in the business. In advanced class, it is called stock or equity. Capital is usually from the owner's savings. But if this money is borrowed either from an individual or a bank, the person is a borrower while the other party is the lender.

Option A is incorrect because money raised from someone makes the person borrowing a borrower and not a saver.

Option C and D are incorrect because the items needed for the business are not consumables, they are needed for the smooth running of the business, hence they are not consumption.

Rose Corporation, a calendar year corporation, had accumulated earnings and profits of $40,000 as of January 1, 2014. However, for the first six months of 2014 Rose Corporation had an operating loss of $36,000, and finished the year with a total net operating loss for tax year 2014 of $55,000. Rose Corporation distributed $15,000 to its shareholders on July 1, 2014. Which of the following is correct?A. The entire distribution of $15,000 is taxable as a dividend.B. The entire distribution is not taxable.C. The part of the distribution which is taxable as a dividend is $12,500.D. The part of the distribution which is taxable as a dividend is $14,000.

Answers

Answer:

C. The part of the distribution which is taxable as a dividend is $12,500.

Explanation:

Rose's total loss for the year = $55,000

we must prorate the loss: $55,000 / 12 months = $4,583.33 per month

loss allocated to the first 6 months = $4,583.33 x 6 = $27,500

retained earnings before the distribution = $40,000 - $27,500 = $12,500

since distributions must come from retained earnings to be considered dividends, then only $12,500 will be considered dividends. The remaining $2,500 will be considered a return of capital

An investor buys a total of 360 shares-year bond with a $1,000 face value for $800. The bond's coupon rate is 8% and interest payments are made semi-annually. Waht are the bond's yield to maturity and effective annual yield?

Answers

Answer:

YTM (Annual( = 10.13%

Effective Annual Yield =10.40%  

Explanation:

In order to calculate Yield to maturity, we need to use yield to maturity formula.

Formula: Yield to maturity = [C +(F – P)/n]/(F + P)/2

Where,

C = Coupon amount

F = Face value

n = number of periods

P = Current price

Data

C =  1000 x 8 % = 80

C (6months) = 80 x 6/12 = 40

F = $1000

n = 30 years

P = $800

Solution

YTM = 40 + (1000 – 800/30)/(1000 + 800)/2

YTM = 40 + (200/30)/(1800/2 )

YTM = 40 +( 200/30)/900

YTM = 5.068 semiannual

YTM (Annual( = 10.13%

Effective Annual Yield = [tex](\frac{1+0.1014}{2})^{2-1}[/tex]

Effective Annual Yield =10.40%

Suver Corporation has a standard costing system. The following data are available for June: Actual quantity of direct materials purchased 24,000 pounds Standard price of direct materials $ 6.00 per pound Material price variance $ 6,000 Unfavorable Material quantity variance $ 2,400 Favorable The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June was:

Answers

Answer:

$6.25

Explanation:

Given the data below from the above information,

The actual quantity of direct materials purchased 24,000 pounds

Standard price of direct materials price $6 per pound

Material price variance unfavorable -$6,000

Material quantity variance $2,400

Therefore;

Direct material price Variance = (Standard price - Actual price) × Actual quantity

- $6,000 = ($6 - Actual price ) × 24,000

-$6,000 = $144,000 - 24,000 AP

24,000 AP = $144,000 + $6,000

24,000 AP = $150,000

AP = $6.25

Kingbird Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch. 3,360 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.02 per ounce 54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.55 per pound 60 lemons at $0.90 each 150 yeast tablets at $0.26 each 250 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each 2,400 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce Kingbird estimates that 4% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used. Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.)

Answers

Answer:

$5.272

Explanation:

The computation of the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

3,360 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.02 per ounce is (Considering 4%)

= 3,360 × $0.02 ÷ 96%

= $70

54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.55 per pound is (Considering 10%)

= 54 × $0.55 ÷ 90%

= $33

60 lemons at $0.90 each is (Considering 25%)

= 60 × $0.90 ÷ 75%

= $72

150 yeast tablets at $0.26 each is

= 160 × $0.26

= $41.6

250 nutrient tablets at $0.14 each is

= 250 × $0.14

= $35

2,400 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce is

= 2,400 × $0.005

= $12

Therefore 50 gallon cost is = $70 + $33 + $72 + $41.6 + $35 + $12

= $263.6

So, cost per gallon = $263.6 ÷ 50

= $5.272

Sales mix, three products. The Ronowski Company has three product lines of belts—A, B, and C— with contribution margins of $3, $2, and $1, respectively. The president foresees sales of 200,000 units in the coming period, consisting of 20,000 units of A, 100,000 units of B, and 80,000 units of C. The company’s fixed costs for the period are $255,000.

What is the company’s breakeven point in units, assuming that the given sales mix is maintained?
If the sales mix is maintained, what is the total contribution margin when 200,000 units are sold? What is the operating income?
What would operating income be if 20,000 units of A, 80,000 units of B, and 100,000 units of C were sold? What is the new breakeven point in units if these relationships persist in the next period?

Answers

Answer:

1. 13,236 units

2. $85,000

3. $65,000

4. 15,938 units

Explanation:

First Determine the ratio of the sales mix as follows :

Ratio = 20,000 : 100,000 : 80,000

Reduced to lowest term  = 1 : 5 : 4

Then find the Company`s break-even point using the sales mix as follows ;

Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin as per sales mix

                                        = $255,000 ÷ ($3 × 1 + $2 × 5 + $1 × 4)

                                        = $255,000 ÷ $17

                                        = 13,235.29 or 13,236 units

Calculation of Operating Income assuming 200,000 units are sold

Contribution :

A : (1/10 × 200,000 units) × $3     =   $60,000

B : (5/10 × 200,000 units) × $2    = $200,000

C : (4/10 × 200,000 units) × $1     =   $80,000

Total Contribution                           $340,000          

Less Fixed Cost                             ($255,000)

Operating Income                             $85,000

Calculation of Operating Income if 20,000 units of A, 80,000 units of B, and 100,000 units of C were sold.

Contribution :

A : 20,000 units × $3      =  $60,000

B : 80,000 units × $2      = $160,000

C : 100,000 units × $1     = $100,000

Total Contribution             $320,000          

Less Fixed Cost                ($255,000)

Operating Income               $65,000

Determination of New Sales Mix :

Ratio = 20,000 : 80,000 : 100,000

Reduced to Lowest Term = 1 : 4 : 5

Break-even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin as per sales mix

                                        = $255,000 ÷ ($3 × 1 + $2 × 4 + $1 × 5)

                                        = $255,000 ÷ $16

                                        = 15,937.5 or 15,938 units
