c. If expected annual demand is 10,000 units, which alternative would yield the higher profit?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine A:

Fixed costs= $38,000

Unitary cost= $7

Machine B:

Fixed costs= $31,000

Unitary cost= $11

Revenue per unit= $19

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

Machine A:

Break-even point in units= 38,000 / (19 - 7)

Break-even point in units= 3,167

Machine B:

Break-even point in units= 31,000 / (19 - 11)

Break-even point in units= 3,875

Now, we need to determine the indifference point:

Machine A= 38,000 + 7x

Machine B= 31,000 + 11x

x= number of units

We will equal both formulas and isolate x:

38,000 + 7x = 31,000 + 11x

7,000 = 4x

1,750=x

Indifference point= 1,750 units

Finally, the total cost for 10,000 units:

Machine A= 38,000 + 7*10,000= $108,000

Machine B= 31,000 + 11*10,000= $141,000

The bond has a 12% annual coupon rate, a $1,000 par value, it matures in 15 years and pays coupon quarterly. The current bond price is $900. What is the bond’s annual yield? A. 14.28% B. None of the answers is correct C. 13.60% D. 12.85%

Answers

Answer:

A. 14.28%

Explanation:

As per Approximation formula,

Quarterly yield = (A + B / C) * 100

A = Quarterly coupon = 12% of 1,000 / 4 =30

B = (Redemption - Price value / Number of coupon) = (1,000 - 900) / (15 * 4)

= 1.667

C= (Redemption value + Price / 2) = 1,000 + 900 / 2 = 1,900 /2 =  950

Quarterly yield = 30 + 1.66667 / 950 = 31.6667 / 950 = 0.03333

Quarterly yield = 3.33%

Using the calculator, we get exact Ytm quarterly = 3.3925%

Effective amount yield = {(1 + 0.033925)^4 - 1} * 100

Effective amount yield = 0.142762 * 100

Effective amount yield = 14.2762%

Effective amount yield = 14.28%

A customer has requested that Inga Corporation fill a special order for 3,000 units of product K81 for $30 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product K81's normal unit product cost is $21.30:
Direct materials $ 5.40
Direct labor 6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.40
Unit product cost $21.30
Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product K81 that would increase the variable costs by $1.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $14,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value.

Some 150 million customers a month visit Amazon and the company passes through $160 billion in sales via its global supply channels and partnerships making interorganizational relationships very important to the company. Which interacting organization has a low coordination, low integration, transactional focus

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Amazon is fastest growing company in the world which has crossed 2 billion customer visits. It has also increased the worth of the company to $1.14 trillions. The supply chain management is where the strengths of the company lies and nobody can match the pricing strategy, quality management and other significant factors that are included in the supply chain management to ensure that the customer is having what they are paying for.

Supply chain management process includes the key partners which includes their suppliers, partners, clients and customers as well who play important roles in the supply chain process by coordinating, integrating systems with each other and are involved in the transaction-al process.

The customers are the one who interact fewer than partners, suppliers, clients, etc because all they do is order a particular product. This is the first interaction of the customer with Amazon and the last interaction is when the customer received the order. So this means they are less interacting party in this process.

Suppliers are continuously contacted and informed about the pricing, supply chain issues, etc so that the company is able to deliver its customers what they are desiring. Supply chain partners also in the process of interacting with Amazon as they have to move products from supplier to the customer. These partners are highly interacted, possess integrating systems and of transaction-al importance to the company.

What is the payback period of a project with average annual cash outflows of $8,000, average annual cash inflows of $10,000 and an initial investment of $13,000

Answers

Answer:

It will take 3 years and 219 days to cover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual cash flow= 13,000 - 8,000= $5,000

Initital investment= $13,000

The payback period is the time required to cover for the initial investment:

Year 1= 5,000 - 13,000= -8,000

Year 2= 5,000 - 8,000= -3,000

Year 3= 5,000 - 3,000= 2,000

To be more accurate:

(3,000/5,000)*365= 219 days

It will take 3 years and 219 days to cover for the initial investment.

Giving the following information:

Unit produced 11,000

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $150

Direct labor $450

Variable manufacturing overhead $47

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $790,000

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Variable costing:

Unitary cost= 150 + 450 + 47= $647

Recently, the Google team announced its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of "autonomous driving." The Google driverless car is at which stage of the new-product development process?

Answers

Answer:

Product Development (stage five)

Explanation:

Sometimes companies make moves towards introducing new products in the market space. To do this there are different stages that must be passed in the new-product development process. The product development stage is the stage where a prototype version of the product is produced. This version of the product would have the required features of the end product and the effect the product is expected to produce. After this stage, the product undergoes market testing. For products that took in a lot of investment, more intense test marketing should be done in order to ascertain what would really translate to higher sales for the product.

When the Google team announced that its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of 'autonomous driving', it means that they had produced the prototype of the product and it has undergone testing. The next stage would entail testing the product in the market and then commercialization.

If Ben invests $3500 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5 1 2 % annual interest to ensure that the interest he receives each year is 4 1 2 %

Answers

Answer:

Additional $1,750 must be invested by Ben.

Explanation:

Note: The question is not complete as some dots are omitted. The question is therefore given correctly before answering it as follows:

If Ben invests $3500 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5 1/2 % annual interest to ensure that the interest he receives each year is 4 1/2 %.

The question is now answered as follows:

From the question, we have:

Initial amount invested = $3,500

Interest rate on initial amount invested = 4%, or 0.04

Interest amount from initial amount invested = Initial amount invested * Interest rate on initial amount invested = $3,500 * 4% = $140

Let y represents the additional amount to invest. Therefore, we have:

Interest rate of additional amount invested = 5 1/2% = 5.5% = 0.055

Interest amount from additional amount invested = y * Interest rate of additional amount invested = y * 0.055 = y0.055

Total interest amount = Interest amount from initial amount invested + Interest amount from additional amount invested = $140 + y0.055

New amount invested = Initial amount invested + y = $3,500 + y

Interest rate of new amount invested = 4 1/2% = 4.5% = 0.045

Interest amount from new amount invested = New amount invested * ($3,500 + y) * 0.045 = $157.50 + y0.045

Since total interest amount must equal interest amount from new amount invested, we equate the two and solve as follows:

Total interest amount = Interest amount from new amount invested

$140 + y0.055 = $157.50 + y0.045

We can now solve for y as follows:

y0.055 - y0.045 = $157.50 - $140

y0.01 = $17.50

y = 17.50 / 0.01

y = $1,750

Therefore, additional $1,750 must be invested by Ben.

Answer the following questions:

1. If the manufacturer is considering production quantities of 40,000 units or 80,000 units, assuming 90% of product will be sold and 10% will be salvaged, what is the profit per unit?

Answer:

For 40,000 units

Profit per unit = $287.50

For 80,000 units

Profit per unit = $293.75

Explanation:

Total Profit = (0.9 * Total Unit Produced * Per unit selling price) + (0.1 * Total Unit Produced * Per unit selling price) - ( Fixed cost + (Total unit produce* Variable cost per unit))

Total Profit = (0.9 * 40,000 * 1,500 ) + (0.1 * 40,000 * 1,500) - (500,000 + (40,000 * 1,200))

=  54,000,000 + 6,000,000 - 48,500,000 = $11,500,000

For 40,000 units

Total Profit = $11,500,000

Profit per unit = total profit/no. of units

= 11,500,00 / 40,000 =  $287.50

For 80,000 units

Total Profit = (0.9 * 80,000 * 1,500 ) + (0.1 * 80,000 * 1,500) - (500,000 + (80,000 * 1,200))

= 108,000,000 + 12, 000,000 - 96,500,000

= 23,500,000

Total profit = $ 23,500,000

Profit per unit = 23,500,000 / 80,000

=  $293.75

Assume that the tracking error of Portfolio X is 13.20 percent. What is the information ratio for Portfolio X

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

To calculate the information ratio of portfolio X, we have to first calculate the Jensen's alpha of portfolio X. The Jensen's alpha is given as:

Jensen’s Alpha = Expected Portfolio Return – [ Risk-Free Rate + Beta of the Portfolio* (Expected Market Return – Risk-Free Rate) ]

From the picture attached, the values of the data are gotten, substituting:

[tex]\alpha_p=R_p-[R_f+B_p(R_m-R_f)]\\\\\alpha_p=13-[5+1.3(10.1-5)]=1.37=1.37\%[/tex]

Income Statement Debit and Credit columns of an end-of-period spreadsheet are $27,000 and $29,000, respectively, after all account balances have been extended, the amount of the net loss is $2,000.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

Revenues are an equity entry and as such are credited when they increase therefore the credit side of an income statement contains revenue. Expenses on the other hand are debited to remove them from revenue.

A credit of $29,000 and a debit of $27,000 means that there was a net income of $2,000 not a net loss. If the debits are less than the credits then that means that there are less expenses than revenue which would bring about a profit.

Apply the integration-responsiveness framework to describe which global strategy Hollywood studios followed originally, and how their strategic positioning has changed over time. Explain how and why.

Answers

Answer is given below :

Explanation:

Global integration refers to the coordination of the organization’s value chain operations within countries, achieving efficiency, synergy and cross-fertilization between countries so that equality between countries is maximized. Between global integration and local accountability, the integration-accountability framework is called to help managers develop a deeper understanding of the business. We can say at the outset or at the outset that an export strategy that applies to Hollywood is used when a company focuses primarily on its domestic operations. It is not intended to expand globally, but to export certain products to take advantage of international opportunities. It does not seek to adapt its products to international markets. It is not interested in responding to specific situations in other countries or formulating a unified world strategy. Hollywood not only produced films and shows that catered to the needs of its native business aimed at American Western culture, but as the industry began to expand it began to adopt a multi-national strategy. Multi dimensional strategy follows products or processes for specific situations in each country. In the initial example, Lincoln should use a multi-year strategy to adapt its manufacturing methods to the conditions of each country where electric factories are built. Retailers often use multicultural strategies because they must cater to local customer tastes. Hollywood has started producing Indian films like Kung Fu Panda, Karate Kids, Oscar Winning Slumdog Millionaire.

The global strategy that Hollywood studios followed at first was the international strategy.

It should be noted that the global strategy that Hollywood studios followed originally was the international strategy where identical movies were showed in foreign countries.

This has changed now as there are different movies that are filmed and in different versions. Also, it isn't in the control of the government to edit out any part.

Joy's expected cash collections for March would be:________.
A. $37,000
B. $32,000
C. $30,250
D. $47,200

Answers

Answer:

Total cash collection= $30,250

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash sales are 25 percent of total sales each month.

Sales on account:

50 percent in the month of the sale

30 percent in the month after the sale

20 percent two months after the sale.

Sales:

January $20,000

February $10,000

March $40,000

We need to calculate the cash collection for March:

Sales on cash March= 40,000*0.25= 10,000

Sales on account March= (40,000*0.75)*0.5= 15,000

Sales on account February= (10,000*0.75)*0.3= 2,250

Sales on account January= (20,000*0.75)*0.2= 3,000

Total cash collection= $30,250

Which of the following conditions would necessitate the use of non-verbal communication instead of verbal communication?A) Low physical distanceB) Need for immediate feedbackC) Personal nature of communicationD) Familiarity with the listenerE) Increased noise

Answers

Answer:

E) Increased noise

Explanation:

The answer is that the condition that would necessitate the use of non-verbal communication instead of verbal communication is increased noise because the noise is any type of sound that affects the verbal communication and in a case of increased noise, it could be necessary to use non-verbal communication to be able to deliver a message.

The other options are not right because they don't affect the verbal communication in a way that forces you to use non-verbal communication.

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%

The ____________________ problem is the main source of market failure in the provision of nonexcludable public goods.

Answers

Answer: Free Rider

Explanation:

Non-excludable goods refers to public goods that are free to the public to use such goods and therefore there is no restriction to the  consumption of non-excludable goods because every single individual  has the right to access and consume it  For example,  Public parks, roads, and public infrastructures.

A non excludable good can overtime have a negative result in a community, because such good need to be constantly maintained so as to continue to be beneficial and  therefore may require small token of fair share among its consumers but there would always be some individuals who are referred to as Free Riders  who would rather use the good without paying for it and in the long run cause the good to not be adequate for all or difficult  to be maintained at its best resulting to failure in the provision of the non excludable public goods.

the free rider problem can be solved by

1. Government's intervention to subsidize the public good through fair distribution of tax, using the pay as you earn method .

2. Overused non excludable good can be privatized, ensuring that people who consume it, contribute to ts maintenance.

Slack Inc. borrowed $400,000 on April 1. The note requires interest at 12% and principal to be paid in one year. How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31? a. $0. b. $48,000. c. $32,000. d. $36,000

Answers

Answer:

D.$36,000

Explanation:

Calculation for How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31

First step is to find the 12% of the amount that was borrowed which is $400,000

$400,000×12%

=$48,000

Now let calculate for the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31

Interest =$48,000×3/12

Interest =$12,000

Hence,

Interest =$48,000-$12,000

Interest=$36,000

Therefore the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31 will be $36,000

Complete Question:

Alpha company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a leverages firm with $2 million of debt financing at 8% interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $4 million and 400,000 shares outstanding. The leveraged firm will have 200,000 shares outstanding.

a. Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes.

b.Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is 30%

c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha company?

Answer:

Alpha Company

a. Break-even EBIT, using EPS without taxes:

= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares =  (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares

With alternative 1, there are no taxes, so:

= (EBIT - Interest 1)/No. of shares = EBIT - Interest 2)/No. of shares

= (EBIT - 0)/400,000 = EBIT - ($2,000,000 x 8%)/200,000

= (EBIT/400,000( = (EBIT - $160,000)/200,000

cross-multiplying:

EBIT200,000 = EBIT$64,000,000,000

dividing by 200,000:

EBIT = $64,000,000,000/200,000

EBIT = $320,000

b. Break-even EBIT, using EPS with taxes:

= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares =  (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares

= {(EBIT - $0) * (1 - 0.30)}/400,000 = {(EBIT - $160,000) * (1 - 0.30)}/200,000

= EBIT/400,000 = (EBIT - $112,000)/200,000

cross-multiplying:

= EBIT 200,000 = EBIT $44,800,000,000

EBIT = $44,800,000,000/200,000

= $224,000

c. The two break-even EBITs are not the same.  When there are taxes, the break-even EBIT is $224,000, less by $96,000.

Explanation:

a) Data:

Alternative 1: All Equity:

No. of shares = 400,000

Value of shares = $4,000,000

Debt = $0

Interest on Debt = $0

Alternative 2: Equity + Debt:

No. of shares = 200,000

Value of shares = $2,000,000

Debt = $2,000,000

Interest on Debt = 8% or $160,000

b) Alpha's break-even EBIT is the point when the EBIT under alternative 1 are equal to the EBIT under alternative 2.  This implies that under these given alternative financing options, the earnings before interest and taxes are before no matter the alternative chosen.
