Answer:
Option 1:
Purchasing Electricity from the utility:
NPV = -$1391065.
Option 2:
NPV of more attractive alternative = NPV of purchasing generator = -$1343107.
Explanation:
Option 1:
Purchasing Electricity from the utility:
Purchase cost per year = $350000
[tex]NPV = -350000 * [PVAF (5-1, 0.13) + 1]\\= -350000 * [2.974471 + 1]\\\\= -1391064.85[/tex]
NPV = -$1391065.
Option 2:
Purchasing generator:
Initial Cash Flow:
Purchase Cost of generator -$270000
Operating Cash Flow -$270000
= -$540000
Recurring Cash Flows:
Operating Cost -$270000
NPV:
Year Cash Flow PVF (13%) PV of Cash Flow
0 -$540000 1 -$540000
1-4 -$270000 2.974471 -$803107
-$1343107
NPV = -$1343107
Since NPV in the case of purchasing a generator is more than that of purchasing electricity,
NPV of more attractive alternative = NPV of purchasing generator = -$1343107.
The following discussion focuses on the change in production and selling strategies of Timken Co., the Canton, Ohio, firm that is a major producer of bearings:
To counter the low prices of imports, Timken Co. in 2003 began bundling its bearings with other parts to provide industrial business customers with products specifically designed for their needs. Timken had begun bundling prelubricated, preassembled bearing packages for automobile manufacturers in the early 1990s. Evidence indicated that companies that sold integrated systems rather than discrete parts to the automobile manufacturers increased their sales. Other industrial customers put the same pressure on Timken in the late 1990s to lower prices, customize, or lose their business to lower-priced foreign suppliers. Manufacturers are increasingly combining a standard part with casings, pins, lubrication, and electronic sensors. Installation, maintenance, and engineering services may also be included. Suppliers, such as Timken, saw this as a means of increasing profits and making themselves more indispensable to the manufacturers. The strategy also required suppliers to remain in proximity with their customers, another advantage over foreign imports. This type of bundling does require significant research and development and flexible factories to devise new methods of transforming core parts into smart assemblies. The repackaging is more difficult for industrial than automobile customers because the volumes of production are smaller for the former. Timken also had to educate its customers on the variety of new products available.
Timken has an 11 percent share of the world market for bearings. However, imports into the United States doubled to $1.4 billion in 2002 compared with $660 million in 1997. Timken believes that the uniqueness of its product helps protect it from foreign competition. However, the company still lobbied the Bush administration to stop what it calls the dumping of bearings at low prices by foreign producers in Japan, Romania, and Hungary.
Required:
a. What factors in the economic environment, in addition to foreign imports, contributed to Timken’s new strategy in 2002 and 2003?
b. How does this strategy relate to the discussion of bundling presented in the chapter? What additional factors are presented in this case?
Answer:
Timken Co.
a. Factors in the Economic Environment that contributed to Timken;s new strategy in 2002 and 2003 in addition to foreign imports at cheaper prices:
1. The needs of industrial business customers for integrated systems
2. Lowering of prices resulting from bundling
3. Addition of installation, maintenance, and engineering services, leading to increasing profits
b. The relationship of this strategy to bundling
1. Remaining in proximity with customers
2. Significant research and development
3. Flexible factories
4. Education of customers on product variety
c. Additional factors presented in this case are:
1. Customization
2. Means of making entity more indispensable to manufacturers
3. Uniqueness of products
4. Lobbying to stop dumping
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Share of the world market for bearings = 11%
Value of bearing imports in 2002 = $1.4 billion
Value of bearing imports in 1997 = $660 million
b) Companies engage in bundling by offering their main products together with several others together with services as a single combined unit. This strategy always lowers the bundled price when compared with the prices of the separate products and services. Thus, companies that sell bundled products and services often achieve more sales at the expense of profits.
During 2015, a construction company changed from the completed-contract method to the percentage-of-completion method for accounting purposes but not for tax purposes. Gross profit figures under both methods for the past three years appear below:
Completed-Contract Percentage-of-Completion
2013 $ 475,000 $ 900,000
2014 625,000 950,000
2015 700,000 1,050,000
$1,800,000 $2,900,000
Assuming an income tax rate of 40% for all years, the affect of this accounting change on prior periods should be reported by a credit of:____________
Answer:
$450,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine , the affect of this accounting change on prior periods that should be reported by a credit of:
Using this formula
Accounting change on prior periods=(2013 Percentage-of-Completion+2014 Percentage-of-Completion)-(2013 Completed-Contract+2014 Completed-Contract)*(1-Tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Accounting change on prior periods=[($900,000+$950,000)-($475,000+$625,000)]*(1-40%)
Accounting change on prior periods=($1,850,000-$1,100,000)*0.60
Accounting change on prior periods=$750,000*.60
Accounting change on prior periods=$450,000
Therefore Assuming an income tax rate of 40% for all years, the affect of this accounting change on prior periods should be reported by a credit of:$450,000
Suppose the annual inflation rate in the US is expected to be 2.5 %, while it is expected to be 18.00 % in Mexico. The current spot rate (on 1/1/X0) for the Mexican Peso (MXN) is $0.1000. If the spot rate of MXN turns out to be $0.085 on 1/1/X1, the net cash flow of a US importer from Mexico will: Group of answer choices Increase Decrease
Answer:
Increase
Explanation:
In putting the question into a better perspective let us assume that the US importer buys goods from Mexico every year to the Tune of 1,000,000 Mexican Pesos.
The expected exchange rate on 1/1/X1=$0.1000*(1+2.5%)/(1+18%)
The expected exchange rate on 1/1/X1=$0.086864407
Amount paid based on expected exchange rate=1,000,000*$0.086864407
Amount paid based on expected exchange rate=$86,864.41
Amount paid based on actual exchange=1,000,000*$0.085
Amount paid based on actual exchange=$85,000
The above means that the US importer paid a lesser amount($85000) than it should have paid, hence, its net cash flow would increase due to a reduction in payment

You own a portfolio that has $2,600 invested in Stock A and $3,600 invested in Stock B. If the expected returns on these stocks are 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively, what is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
the expected return on the portfolio is $7,052
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:
Stock A return = $2,600 + 12% of 2600 = $2,912
And,
Stock B return = $3,600 + 15% of 3600 = $4,140
So,
Expected return on portfolio is
= $2,912 + $4,140
= $7,052
hence, the expected return on the portfolio is $7,052

Discuss how key practices in the partnering approach to managing contracted relationships vary from those in the traditional approach regarding risk, length of commitment, and structure of project teams.
Answer:
Approaches to risk, structure and length of commitment has been changed in a positive way.
Explanation:
Approaches to risk, structure and length of commitment has been changed in a positive way. Risk is greatly changed by introducing the following strategy:
Transfer, Avoid, Reduce and Accept.
The risk is analyzed first to identify the nature whether it can be transferred or not if yes it is transferred, if not then risk is again analyzed if this can be avoided, if not then risk is again analyzed if the chances of risk occurring can be reduced, if not then the risk is accepted.
Length of commitment is changed to easy terms, the length of commitment in the past was of a longer duration [more than a year], unlike now which is a choice, length of commitment can be less than a year or maybe more than a year.
In 2008, 1 Swiss franc cost .56 British pounds and in 2010 it cost .51 British pounds in 2010. How much would 1 British pound purchase in Swiss francs in 2008 and 2010
Answer:
1.78 Swiss franc
1.96 Swiss franc
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
In the year 2008, 1 Swiss franc cost = 0.56 British pounds
In the year 2010, 1 Swiss franc cost = 0.51 British pounds
Now calculate the Swiss frac purchase by 1 bristish pound.
In the year 2008, 1 British pound will purchase = 1 / 0.56 = 1.78 Swiss franc
In the year 2010, 1 British pound will purchase = 1 / 0.51 = 1.96 Swiss franc
You are scheduled to receive $34,000 in two years. When you receive it, you will invest it for 7 more years at 7.5 percent per year. How much will you have in 9 years
Answer: $65186.16
Explanation:
Since the individual is scheduled to receive $34,000 in two years and will then invest it for 7 more years at 7.5 percent per year. The amount that the person will have in 9 years will be:
FV = PV(1 + rate)^n
where,
PV = present value = $34000
Rate = 7.5% = 0.075
n = number of years = 7
FV = 34000 × (1 + 7.5%)^9
FV = 34000 × (1 + 0.075)^9
FV = 34000 × 1.075^9
FV = 34000 × 1.91724
FV = $65186.16
The amount in 9 years will be $65186.16

SWH Corporation issued bonds on January 1, 2004. The bonds had a coupon rate of 5.5%, with interest paid semiannually. The face value of the bonds is $1,000 and the bonds mature on January 1, 2019. What is the yield to maturity for an SWH Corporation bond on January 1, 2010 if the market price of the bond on that date is $950
Answer:
6.23%
Explanation:
From Jan 2019 to Jan 2010 = 9 years
N = 9 years*2 = 18
PV = $950
Coupon payment = $27.5 (1000*5.5%/2)
FV = $1000
We need to solve for YTM using the MsExcel function
Yield to maturity = YTM(n, pv, pmt, fv) * 2
Yield to maturity = YTM(18, 950, 27.5, 1000) * 2
Yield to maturity = 0.03117 * 2
Yield to maturity = 0.06234
Yield to maturity = 6.23%

On January 1, Year 1, Michael sold a property with a remaining useful life of 20 years to Wei Co. for $800,000. On the same date, Michael leased back the property from Wei for 18 years. The lease was properly classified by Michael as a finance lease. Michael is not sure how to recognize the $800,000 received from Wei Co. on January 1, Year 1.
Required:
Which section of the Accounting Standards Codification best helps Michael Co. determine how the initial proceeds of $800,000 received from Wei Co. (buyer-lessor) are recognized?
Answer:
The section of the Accounting Standards Codification that best helps Michael Co. to determine how the initial proceeds of $800,000 received from Wei Co. (buyer-lessor) are recognized is:
ASC 606.
Explanation:
This section that will help Michael Co. to determine if the transaction qualifies as a sale, which is treated under ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. Thereafter, the lease classification criteria in ASC 842 are evaluated. After the evaluation, if none of the criteria from ASC 842 are met to account for the lease as a finance or capital lease, the seller-lessee would classify the lease as an operating lease. This implies that the transaction qualifies as a sale and leaseback transaction.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Costs to make Part XYZ:
Cost Per Unit Total
Variable manufacturing cost $12 $240,000
Supervisor salary $3 $60,000
Depreciation $1 $20,000
Allocated fixed overhead $7 $140,000

Total relevant cost per unit $15 $18 $3
Total costs $300,000 $360,000 $60,000
b) There is a cost-saving of $60,000 when Part XYZ is made internally. The cost of depreciation is not relevant in the decision since the equipment has no salvage value or any other use. Similarly, the fixed overhead will still be incurred, no matter the alternative chosen by the company.
Turner Enterprises is analyzing a project that is expected to have annual cash flows of $77,400, $21,300 and -$6,200 for Years 1 to 3, respectively. The initial cash outlay is $84,900 and the discount rate is 11 percent. What is the modified IRR
Answer:
8.26%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the modified IRR
First step is to calculate the Modified Year 2 cash flow
Modified Year 2 cash flow = $21,300 + (-$6,200)/1.11
Modified Year 2 cash flow= $15,714.41
Now let determine the Modified IRR
Modified IRR:$0 = -$84,900 + $77,400/(1 + IRR) + $15,714.41/(1+ IRR)^2
Modified IRR= 8.26%
Therefore the modified IRR is 8.26%
Identify deficiencies in Wagner's participative budgetary policy for planning and performance evaluation purposes
Question Completion:
Behavioral Considerations and Budgeting Anthony Wagner, the controller in the Division of Transportation for the state, recognizes the im ance of the budgetary process for planning, control, and motivation purposes. He believes that properly implemented participative budgeting process for planning purposes and a management by exception reporting procedure based on that budget will motivate his subordinates to improve productivity within their particular departments. Based on this philosophy, Wagner has implemented the following budget procedures:
An appropriation target figure is given to each department manager. This amount is the maximum funding that each department can expect to receive in the next fiscal year Department managers develop their individual budgets within the following spending constraint as directed by the controller's staff:
1. Expenditure requests cannot exceed the appropriation target
2. All fixed expenditures should be included in the budget: these should include items such . . as contracts and salaries at current levels
3. All government projects directed by higher authority should be included in the budget in their entirety. The controller consolidates the departmental budget requests from the various departments into one budget that is to be submitted for the entire division. Upon final budget approval by the legislature, the controller's staff allocates the appropriation to the various departments on instructions from the division manager. However, a specified percentage of each department's appropriation is held back in anticipation of potential budget cuts and special funding needs. The amount and use of this contingency fund are left to the discretion of the division manager Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to appropriation level. However, as stated in the original directive, specific projects authorized b higher authority must remain intact. The final budget is used as the basis of control for a management by exception form of reporting. Excessive expenditures by account for each department are highlighted on a monthly basis. Department managers are expected to account for all expenditures over budget. Fiscal responsibility is an important factor in the overall performance evaluation of department managers .Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to operate within the reduced · Wagner believes that his policy of allowing the department managers to participate in the budget process and then holding them accountable for their performance is essential, e these times of limited resources.
Answer:
Deficiencies in Wagner's Participative Budgeting Policy
1. Fixed costs are not controllable by managers. This defeats, to a large extent, the idea of participative budgeting policy by Wagner as his departmental managers' performances are evaluated based on goals they have not set for themselves.
2. Wagner's participative budgetary policy allows him to revise some approved budgets arbitrarily without seeking the participation of divisional managers in the revision. This negatives the principle of participation.
Explanation:
An effective participating budgeting process ensures the utilization of specialist knowledge of the participants who are close to the daily operations of their departments. An effective process ensures the setting of more realistic and acceptable goals. A good participative budgetary policy wins managers' commitment, improves communication and accountability, and ensures group cohesiveness.

Answer:
Capital market is at equilibrium and no change in interest rate
Explanation:
In the capital market
National savings = " S + T - G "
At equilibrium position ; National savings = " I + X "
When National savings > "1 + X " Interest rate decrease because there is an excess of supply while
When National savings > "1 + X" interest rate will increase to balance out the capital market because there is excess of demand.
From the attached table of solution below all values of the National savings = "I + X" this shows that the capital ( financial ) market is at equilibrium position

Suppose that 45% of all babies born in a particular hospital are girls. If 7 babies born in the hospital are randomly selected, what is the probability that at most of them are girls?
Answer:
0.10
Explanation:
Using the binomial probability formula: P(X = x) = (nCx) * p^x * (1 - p)^(n-x)
P(X≤1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)
P(X≤1) = (7C0) * 0.45^0 * (0.55)^7 + (7C1) * 0.45^1 * (0.55)^6
P(X≤1) = 0.1024
P(X≤1) = 0.10
So, the Probability that at most one of them are girls 0.10.

After Jim has gotten two different quotes for repairing his brakes, one from the dealership and one from a small, private mechanic, he choses to go with the small mechanic who has agreed to do his brakes for $200.00 less than the dealership. Jim takes his car to the mechanic who begins working on his brakes. After a week passes, the mechanic calls him and tells him he is in over his head and cannot fix his brakes. Jim goes over to pick up his car and finds his car in the mechanic's garage with the brakes disassembled around the mechanic's garage. What legal recourse does Jim have?
Answer:
Primary estoppel
Explanation:
Primary estoppel is defined as the principle that a promise made by a promisor is enforceable most especially when a promisee believes the promise and this leads to a subsequent detriment.
In the given scenario Jim used a small mechanic to repair his brakes and was assured he could do the job.
However the mechanic calls him and tells him he is in over his head and cannot fix his brakes, and finds his car in the mechanic's garage with the brakes disassembled around the mechanic's garage.
He can resort to primary estoppel as a legal recourse.
Four fundamental factors affect the cost of money: (1) the return that borrowers expect to earn on their investments, (2) the preference of savers to spend their income in the current period rather than delay their consumption until some future period, (3) the risks associated with the investment, and (4) expected inflation. Consider the following statements that address these factors, and indicate which you think are true.
Statement 1: The onset of 5% inflation means that your receipt of a $100 interest payment allows you to purchase only $95 worth of goods and services.
Statement 2: For the average rational investor or saver, there is an indirect, or inverse, relationship between the amount of risk exhibited by a security and the risk premium that would be required by the investor or saver.
Statement 3: On average and everything else held constant, rational savers and investors prefer to invest $1,500 to acquire an asset that will pay annual cash flows of $300 per year rather than an otherwise identical asset that will pay $500 per year.
Statement 4: The actual relationship between the risk-free rate of return (r*) and the expected future inflation rate or inflation premium (IP) is actually multiplicative-that is, [(1 + rRF) x (1 + IP)]-1-but it is often simplified to reflect an additive relationship.
The true statements are:
a. 2 and 3
b. 2 and 4
c. 1 and 4
d. 1 and 3
Answer:
The true statements are:
c. 1 and 4
Explanation:
The actual interest rate paid to savers depends on
(1) the expected rate of return on invested capital
(2) time preferences for current consumption versus future consumption
(3) the riskiness of the loan
(4) the expected future inflation rate
We can conclude that if an investment is facing a higher risk and inflation rate, then the expected interest rate will be higher than for a low-risk, low inflation-facing investment.

Service levels are reported accurately is an example of which control
Answer:
Service level measures the performance of a system. Certain goals are defined and the service level gives the percentage to which those goals should be achieved. Fill rate is different from service level.
Examples of service level:
Percentage of calls answered in a call center.
Percentage of customers waiting less than a given fixed time.
Percentage of customers that do not experience a stockout.
Percentage of all parts of an order being fulfilled completely
(Explanation) if one component part of an order is not filled the Service Level for that order is Zero, If all the component parts of an order are delivered except one is filled at 51%, the service level for that order is 51% (This system is often used in supply chain delivery to manufacturing), This is a very different from a simple order fill measurement which does not consider line items on the order.
