A creamery shop sells its special ice cream for $4.50 a quart. It costs them $3.00 a quart to make it. The daily demand for this flavor is normally distributed with a mean of 35 quarts and a standard deviation of 4 quarts. Unsold ice cream is sold each day to a local restaurant at $1.50 per quart. What is the service level and corresponding optimal stocking level?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the service level and the corresponding optimal stocking level is shown below:

Given that

Selling price = SP = $4.50

Cost price = CP  = $3.00

So,

Salvage value =  V  = $1.50

Average daily demand (d) = 35 quarts

The  standard deviation of daily demand  = 4 quarts

based on the above information

Overage cost = (Co) is

= CP - V

= $3.00 - $1.50

= $1.50

Now

Underage cost= (Cu)

= SP - CP

= $4.50 - $3.00

= $1.50

So,  

Service level is

= Cu ÷ (Co + Cu)

= 1.50 ÷ (1.50 + 1.50)

= 1.50 ÷ 3.00

= 0.50

= 50%

Now

At 50 % service level, the value of Z is 0

So,

Optimal stocking level is

= d + Z × standard deviation

= 35 + (0  × 4)

= 35 + 0  

= 35 quarts

If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?Solve for:A.

Answers

Answer:

common stocks = 8,100,000 x $57 = $461,700,000

preferred stocks = 300,000 x $99 = $29,700,00

debt = 185,000 x $2,000 x 1.07 = $395,900,000

total market value = $887,300,000

a)

capital structure:

common stocks = $461,700,000 / $887,300,000 = 52.03%

preferred stocks = $29,700,00 / $887,300,000 = 3.35%

debt = $395,900,000 / $887,300,000 = 44.62%

b) WACC = 7.48%

Re = 3.3% + (1.15 x 6.6%) = 10.89%

Cost of preferred stock = 4.1 / 99 = 4.14%

cost of debt = YTM = {55 + [(2,000 - 2,140)/36]} / [(2,000 + 2,140)/2] = 51.11 / 2,070 = 2.469 x 2 = 4.94%

WACC = (10.89 x 52.03%) + (4.14 x 3.35%) + (4.94 x 44.62% x 0.76) = 5.67% + 0.14% + 1.67% = 7.48%

A company decides not to pay dividends to stockholders, but the company is requested to pay interest to debt holders. What does this mean about the performance of the company?

Answers

Answer: Poor Performance

Explanation:

Options are not available but the foremost reason why a company would decline to pay dividends but still be requested to pay interest to debt holders is that they performed poorly.

Dividends are based on how much net income the company got for the period and so if a company performs poorly, they should not pay out dividends as it will put them in financial difficulty.

Interest payments however have to be paid regardless of if the company made a profit or not. So even if the company performed poorly, they would still be requested to pay interest to debt holders.

The company will lose sales in​ fat-tire bikes of units per year if it introduces the new​ bike, however. What is the erosion cost from the new​ bike? Should Fat Tire start producing the​ off-road bike? What is the erosion cost from the new​ bike?

Answers

Answer:

A. $1,725,000

B. Yes

Explanation:

Calculation for the erosion cost from the new​ bike

First step to find the erosion cost

Using this formula

Erosion cost =(Sales-Production and shipping cost )*Loss of sales units per year

Let plug in the formula

Erosion cost=(100-40)*7,500

Erosion cost=60*7,500

Erosion  cost= $450,000

Second step is to calculate for the Net annual Cash flow using this formula

Net annual cash flow= (Projected selling price-Production and shipping cost)*Projected annual sales-Erosion cost

Let plug in the formula

Net annual cash flow= (370-225)*15,000 - 450,000

Net annual cash flow =145*15,000-450,000

Net annual cash flow =2,175,000-450,000

Net annual cash flow=$1,725,000

B.Yes Fat Tire start producing the​ off-road bike

Because the net annual cash flow is positive

If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement_____________ monetary policy with a focus.

a. Short-term
b. Long-term
c. Contractionary
d. Expansionary

Answers

Answer: Expansionary; Short-term

Explanation:

If you were on the Federal Reserve Board and you were concerned only with reducing high unemployment, you would implement an expansionary monetary policy with a short-term focus.

Expansionary monetary policy has the effect of putting more money into the economy. As there is now more money in the economy, the expectation is that there will be more consumption spending as well as investment. More consumption because people have more money and more investment because interest rates reduce when there is an increased money supply. As there is now more investment as well as the need to satiate the increased demand, more companies can expand and employ people thereby reducing unemployment.

This should however be done with a short term view because expansionary monetary policy will lead to higher inflation in the longer term making business operations less profitable.

perline, inc., has balance sheet equity of $6.2 million.At the same time, the income statement shows net income of $948600. The company paid dividends of $493272 and has 100000 shares of stock outstanding. If the benchmark PE ratio is 26, what is the target stock price in one year?

Answers

Answer:

The target stock price in one year is $264.75

Explanation:

We first calculate the ROE as below

ROE= Earnings / Book value of Equity

ROE= $948,600 / $6,200,000

ROE= 0.153

The payout ratio is:

b=  Dividend / Net income

b = $493,272 / $948,600

b = 0.52

So the sustainable growth rate is:

g = ROE * (1-b)

g = 0.153 * (1-0.52)

g = 0.153 * 0.48

g = 0.07344

The earning in the first year are

EPS1 = $948,600 / 100,000  * (1 + 0.07344)

EPS1 = $9.486 * 1.07344

EPS1 = $10.1827

According to the benchmark PE ratio, the target stock price in one year is

Price = EPS1 * 26

Price = $10.1827 * 26

Price = $264.75

Radoski Corporation's bonds make an annual coupon interest payment of 7.35% every year. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, a current price of $1,470, and mature in 12 years. What is the yield to maturity on these bonds

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2.71 percent

Explanation:

The interest payment is annually.

N(Number of periods) = 12 years

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?

PV(present value or market price) = $1,470

PMT( coupon payment) = $73.5 ( [7.35 percent x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 12; PV = -1470 ; PMT = 73.5; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 2.71

Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 2.71 percent

Last Year $ 74.08

Explanation:

Computation to Find the imputed interest income in: (a) the first year; (b) the second year; and (c) the last year of the bond’s life

Imputed Interest

First step

Using this formula

Imputed interest=(Present Value /1+Yield to maturity)^Numberd of years

Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n

0 20 (1/1.08)^20= $ 214.54

1 19 (1/1.08)^19=$ 231.71

2 18 (1/1.08)^18=$ 250.24

19 1 (1/1.08)^1=$ 925.92

20 0 (1/1.08)^0=$ 1,000

Second step is to find the Imputed interest for the first year, second year; and the last year of the bond’s life

Year Years Remaining to Maturity Constant Yield Value ( 1 / 1.08)^n =Imputed Interest

0 20 $ 214.54

1 19 $ 231.71 $17.17

($231.71-$214.54)= $17.17

2 18 $ 250.24 $18.53

($250.24-$231.71)=$18.53

19 1 $ 925.92

20 0 $ 1,000 $74.08

($1,000-$925.92) =$74.08

Therefore the imputed interest will be:

First Year $ 17.17

Second Year $ 18.53

Last Year $ 74.08

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $27,600,000

Unitary variable cost= $805

Unit selling price= $1,150

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 27,600,000 / (1,150 - 805)

Break-even point in units= 80,000 units

Desired income= $5,175,000

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (27,600,000 + 5,175,000) / 345

Break-even point in units= 95,000 units

A​ monopolist's maximized rate of economic profits is ​$1500 per week. Its weekly output is 500 ​units, and at this output​ rate, the​ firm's marginal cost is ​$32 per unit. The price at which it sells each unit is ​$42 per unit. At these profit and output rates, what are the firm's average total cost and marginal revenue?

Answers

Answer:

Average total cost = $39

Marginal revenue = $32 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of average total cost and marginal revenue is shown below:-

Average total cost = Selling price - (Economic profit ÷ Weekly output)

                              = $42 - ($1,500 ÷ 500)

                              = $42 - 3

                              = $39

Marginal revenue = Marginal cost

So,

Marginal revenue = $32 per unit

Therefore for computing the average total cost and marginal revenue we simply applied the above formula.

3. “The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions that have outlived their usefulness”. Do you agree?

Answers

Answer:

“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank"

Have they outlived their usefulness?

No.

The IMF and the World Bank have not outlived their usefulness.  They remain very useful and relevant to our world today.  The problem they have experienced stem in part from the neglect of their purposes, because of the near-absence of the grassroot touch.  They can refocus on their purposes and reduce elitistism, and then they continue to be useful.

But, they cannot rediscover and concentrate on their purposes without the cooperation of member-countries.  Recalcitrancy does not allow any organized institutions without police power to function at their best.  Member-countries must learn to cooperate with these bodies to achieve their purposes.  There is still global poverty ravaging the world population, even among the rich and developed countries of the world.

In most developing countries, their national governments are traditionally entrenched as anti-developmental.  While they make long and meaningless speeches at world fora, back home they do not walk their talk and so often renege on their promises.  This is why it seems that the impact of these world bodies are not being felt.  National governments must be able to show responsibility to allow the effects of monetary policies and agreements to benefit the poor and the vulnerable.

Explanation:

The World Bank is an international body of the United Nations with about 189 member-countries.  It works with developing countries to reduce poverty, increase access to wealth, and promote global prosperity.  The IMF is responsible for ensuring that the international monetary system is operational and stable to ginger sustainable global economic growth.

Explanation:

A flexible budget is that which is prepared to reflect the actual activity level achieved.  

It is useful for a control purpose; to compare the actual result to the expected performance. The expected performance is the the flexible budget which is a revised master budget.  

Also it uses the assumptions of the static budget like standard costs and prices.

Flexed budget for labour = standard hour × actual labour cost

                                          = $18×  12,600   = $ 226,800

TB MC Qu. 9-100 The following labor standards have been ... The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.6 hours Standard labor rate $ 13.40 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 7,400 hours Actual total labor cost $ 96,200 Actual output 950 units What is the labor efficiency variance for the month

Answers

Answer:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $23,048 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard labor-hours per unit of output 9.6 hours

Standard labor rate $ 13.40 per hour

Actual hours worked 7,400 hours

Actual output 950 units

To calculate the direct labor efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

Standard quantity= 9.6*950= 9,120

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (9,120 - 7,400)*13.4

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $23,048 favorable

You short-sell 100 shares of Tuckerton Trading Co., now selling for $44 per share. What is your maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost

Answers

Answer:

$4,400

Explanation:

Calculation for the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost

Using this formula

Maximum possible gain = Sale proceeds - Cost of purchasing the share

Let plug in the formula

Maximum possible gain = (100 shares *$44 per shares)- (100 shares *0) = 14000

Maximum possible gain=$4,400-0

Maximum possible gain=$4,400

Therefore the maximum possible gain, ignoring transactions cost will be $4,400

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%

One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%). In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 32% with a margin of error of 2.2%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality. An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 9 years of growth and shaping.

A good model organism should be able to be easily maintain in the laboratory, be fast growing, with a fast generation time and be as closely related to humans as possible. Cost is the only consideration in selecting a model organism, since all living things are made of cells anything found will apply to humans. The best choice will must be the very closely related to humans, such as chimps, since anything found in other species will not apply to humans. The most important consideration in selecting a model organism is how the public will feel about doing experiments on that species, so the best choice would generally be a very simple organism like bacteria that people don't care very much about.
