The McDonald's fast-food restaurant on campus sells an average of 4,000 quarter-pound hamburgers each week. Hamburger patties are resupplied twice a week, and on average the store has 350 pounds of hamburger in stock. Assume that the hamburger patties cost $1.00 a pound.

Required:
a. What is the inventory turnover for the hamburger patties?
b. On average, how many days of supply are on hand?

Answers

Answer:

a. 148.57 for the year.

b. 2.45 days

Explanation:

a. Each  hamburger patties cost $1.00 a pound and 4,000 quater pounds are supplied per week. 4 quater pounds make up 1 pound so;

= 4,000/4

= 1,000 pounds are supplied per week.

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold for the year/ Average Inventory

= ( Pounds per week * cost per pound * number of weeks in year)/ Average inventory

= ( 1,000 * 1 * 52) / 350

= 148.57 for the year.

b. Average Days of Supply = Average Inventory/cost of goods sold

= 350/( 1,000 * 1 * 52)

= 0.00673 per year

To convert to days multiply by;

= 0.006730 * 52 weeks * 7 days

= ‭2.44972‬

= 2.45 days

A developer is proposing to build and operate an 8 store strip mall. Each unit would rent for $3,500 per month. It is expected that vacancy would run at 15% and that the expenses would be 17.5%. The loan is to be 75% of the capitalized value. The developer has an MARR of 12.5%, the bank is charging 8.5% interest, and the Long Term Debt Service is a constant 9%. To assess the financial worth of this endeavor, determine the following:

a. CAP Rate
b. Capitalized value
c. Loan amount
d. Debt Service Coverage Ratio
e. Loan per unit

Answers

Answer:

Requirement A: CAP Rate is 12.5%

Requirement B: Capitalized Value of the Property is $1,884,960

Requirement C: Loan Amount is $1,413,720

Requirement D: Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 1.85

Requirement E: Loan per unit is $176,715 Per Unit

Explanation:

Requirement A: Find the CAP Rate

The CAP Rate will be calculated using the following formula:

CAP Rate = Annual Net Operating Income (NOI) (Step1) / Property Capitalized Value (Step2)

Here

Operating Income is $235,620 (Step1)

Property Capitalized Value (Step2)

Now, by putting values we have:

CAP Rate = $235,620 / $1,884,960 = 12.5%

Step1: Find Annual Net Operating Income (NOI)

As we know that:

Operating Income = Expected Revenue - Operating Expense

Here

Expected Revenue from 8 Strip Malls = Rent / Month * 12 Months * (1 - Vacancy Ratio) * 8 Strips Malls

= $3,500 * 12 * (1 - 15%) * 8

= $285,600

Operating Expenses = Expected Revenue * 17.5%

= $285,600 * 17.5% = $49,980

Now by putting value in the above Operating Income equation, we have:

Annual Operating Income = $285,600 - $49,980 = $235,620

Step2: Find Property Capitalized Value (It is also Requirement B)

Property Capitalized Value = Annual Operating Income / Minimum Accepted Rate of Return (MARR)

Here

Annual Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1

MARR is 12.5%

By putting values, we have:

Capitalized Value of the Property = $235,620 / 12.5% = $1,884,960

Requirement C. Find Loan Amount

It is given in the question that the Loan Amount is 75% of Property Capitalized Cost. This implies:

Loan Amount = $1,884,960 * 75% = $1,413,720

Requirement D. Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) = Annual Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service for the Year

Here

Annual Net Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1

Total Debt Service for the Year $127,235 (See Step3 below)

By putting values, we have:

Debt Service Coverage Ratio = $235,620 / $127,235 = 1.85

Step3: Total Debt Service for the year

Total Debt Service for the year = Loan Amount * Debt Service Rate

Here

Loan Amount is $1,413,720

Debt Service Rate is 9%

By putting values, we have:

Total Debt Service for the year = $1,413,720 * 9% = $127,235

Requirement E. Find Loan Amount

We can find loan per unit by simply dividing the loan amount by number of strip mall. Here total number of strip mall are 8. This implies that:

Loan Per Unit = $1,413,720 / 8 Units = $176,715 Per Unit

In the Vaughn Manufacturing, indirect labor is budgeted for $108000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $36000 at normal capacity of 160000 direct labor hours. If 170000 direct labor hours are worked, flexible budget total for these costs is:

Answers

Answer:Flexible budget =$ 150,750

Explanation:

Variable overhead rate = $108,000 / 160000 = $ 0.675 per hour

(budgeted supervision cost) Fixed overhead = $ 36,000

Flexible budget =  Variable over head rate x  direct labour  + budgeted supervision cost (fixed overhead)

                        0.675 x 170,000+ 36,000

                      = 114,750+36,000

                         =$ 150,750

(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Answers

Answer:

revenue variance = (standard quantity x standard price) - (actual quantity x actual price) = (7,100 x $4.10) - (7,100 x $3.8732) = $29,110 - $27,500 = $1,610 unfavorable (actual revenue was lower than budgeted revenue due to a decrease in sales price).

spending variances:

oyster bed maintenance variance = $3,360 - $3,500 = -$140 favorable

packing supplies variance = $1,945 - $1,775 = $170 unfavorable

wages and salaries variance = $6,205 - $5,795 = $410 unfavorable

shipping costs variance = $3,635 - $3,905 = -$270 favorable

utilities cost variance = $1,080 - $1,270 = -$190 favorable

other expenses variance = $1,141 - $521 = $620 unfavorable

total spending variance = $17,366 - $16,766 = $600 unfavorable (actual expenses were higher than budgeted)

Question 59 of 83 Project M requires an initial investment of $25 million. The project is expected to generate $2.25 million in after-tax cash flow each year forever. Calculate the IRR for the project. 10% 9% 8% 7%

Answers

Answer:

9%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for a project that yields cash flows perpetually, we need to divide the yearly cash flow by the project's initial outlay:

IRR = $2,250,000 / $25,000,000 = 0.09 = 9%

The IRR represents the discount rate at which the project's net present value (NPV) equals 0.

Answers

Answer:

The EPS in a recession is $1.71.

Explanation:

Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks

Earnings Attributable to holders of Common Stocks = ($84,900 - ($84,900 × 0.34)) × 80 %

                                                                                       = $44,827.20

Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks = 26,200 shares

Earnings per share (EPS) =  $44,827.20 ÷ 26,200 shares

                                         =   $1.71

True or False: A tax cut is less likely to change the composition of labor demand than a government spending increase.

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is the case because tax cuts and government spending are instruments that could be used in expansionary fiscal policy.

Note that reduced taxes usually have a direct impact on the disposable income of a economy not the composition of labor demand. Tax cuts leads directly to consumption and savings increase, resulting from increase in disposable income in the economy.

MicroTech Corporation maintains a capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity. To finance its capital budget for next year, the firm will sell 11% coupon bonds at par value (assume no flotation costs). The firm will finance the rest of its capital expenditures with retained earnings. MicroTech expects next year's dividend to be $1.30 per share. Dividends are expected to grow at 7% per year for the foreseeable future. The current market value of MicroTech's common stock is $30 per share. If the firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%, what is its weighted cost of capital for next year?

Answers

Answer:

weighted cost of capital for next year is 10.27 %.

Explanation:

Weighted cost of capital = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V)

Ke = Cost of Equity

    = Dividend Yield + Expected growth rate

    = $1.30 / $30.00 + 0.07

    = 0.11333 or 11.33 %

Kd = Cost of Debt

     = Interest × (1 - tax rate)

     = 11% × ( 1 - 0.21)

     = 8.69 %

Weighted cost of capital =  11.33 % × 60% + 8.69 % × 40%

                                         = 10.27 %

Answers

Answer:

Bond Price today

Bond X = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92

Bond Y = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to first calculate the coupon payment per period. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

For Bond X

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.09 * 1/2 * 1000 = $45

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 7% * 1/2 = 3.5% or 0.035

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

Bond Price = 45 * [( 1 - (1+0.035)^-30) / 0.035]  +  1000 / (1+0.035)^30

Bond Price = $1183.920454 rounded off to $1183.92

For Bond Y

Coupon Payment (C) = 0.07 * 1/2 * 1000 = $35

Total periods (n)= 15 * 2 = 30

r or YTM = 9% * 1/2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Bond Price = 35 * [( 1 - (1+0.045)^-30) / 0.045]  +  1000 / (1+0.045)^30

Bond Price = $837.1111146 rounded off to $837.11

Suppose selected comparative statement data for the giant bookseller Barnes & Noble are presented here. All balance sheet data are as of the end of the fiscal year (in millions).

2020 2019
Net sales $5,200 $5,500
Cost of goods sold 3,484 3,830
Net income 78 123
Accounts receivable 82 103
Inventory 1,146 1,262
Total assets 2,990 3,510
Total common stockholders’ equity 992 1,031

Required:
Compute the following ratios for 2020.

Answers

Answer:

Profit margin = net profit / total sales = $78 / $5,200 = 1.5%  

Asset turnover = total sales / average total assets = $5,200 / ($2,990 + $3,510) = 1.6

Return on assets = net income / average total assets = $78 / $3,250 = 2.4%  

Return on common stockholders’ equity =  net income / average stockholders' equity = $78 / ($992 + $1,031) = 7.71%  

Gross profit rate = gross profit / total sales = $1,716 / $5,200 = 33%

Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800. Determine (a) the contribution margin ratio, (b) the unit contribution margin, and (c) income from operations.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800.

To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:

contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price

contribution margin ratio= (42 - 26.88) / 42

contribution margin ratio= 0.36

Now, the contribution margin:

Contribution margin= 42 - 26.88= $15.12

Finally, income from operations:

Contribution margin= 20,000*15.12= 302,400

Fixed costs= (105,800)

Net operating income= 196,600

Given the following information, determine the beta coefficient for Stock G that is consistent with equilibrium: expected return for Stock G = 9.5%; risk-free rate of return = 3.5%; required return for the market = 9%.

Answers

Answer: 1.09

Explanation:

The variables given are consistent with the use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to find out the value of the expected return for the stock. The formula is;

Expected Return = Risk free rate + beta ( Market return - risk-free rate)

9.5% = 3.5% + beta ( 9% - 3.5%)

6% = beta * 5.5%

beta = 6%/5.5%

beta = 1.09
