Answer 1

Answer:

HCA

a. HCA's Liabilities-to-assets ratios and times-interest-earned ratios in the years 2005 through 2009:

1. Liabilities-to-assets ratios = Total liabilities/Total Assets

                  Dec. 09     Dec. 08    Dec. 07     Dec. 06     Dec. 05

                 136.63%     141.60%    143.18%     147.51%     78.12%

2. Times-interest-earned ratios = EBIT/Interest Expense

                  Dec. 09     Dec. 08      Dec. 07       Dec. 06       Dec. 05

                 1.91 times  1.45 times   1.33 times    2.76 times   4.11 times

b. The percentage decline in EBIT that HCA could have suffered each year between 2005 and 2009 to make it unable to make interest payments out its operating earnings, where operating earnings is defined as EBIT:

                  Dec. 09     Dec. 08      Dec. 07       Dec. 06       Dec. 05

                 191%            145%           133%            276%         411%

c. The volatility of HCA's cash flows over the period 2005 to 2009:

The standard deviation of the cash flows (cash and cash equivalents) is 115, showing that there is so much volatility in the cash flows.

d. HCA's return on invested capital (ROIC) in the years 2005 - 2009:

= Net Income - Dividend / Total Liabilities + Equity x 100

ROIC =                        4.37%      2.77%      3.64%        4.38%     6.41%

When the Federal Reserve buys long term MBS and Treasury securities from banks and announces its intention to keep buying these assets in large quantities for a long time the effect on commercial banks is to increase the value of fixed income securities that are not sold and at the same time to lower the interest spread between new loans originated and the cost of financing these loans. True False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Since, Federal reserve purchased long term MBS in order to pay the less market interest rate and this will cause a rise in the amount of income i.e fixed securities. Also, due to less market interest rate, the financing cost is less and at the same time interest spread is narrower as it provides more liquidity

Therefore the given statement is true

A loan is being amortized by means of level monthly payments at an annual effective interest rate of 8%. The amount of principal repaid in the 12th payment is 1000 and the amount of principal repaid in the tth payment is 3700. Calculate t.

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 216

Explanation:

The value of "t" can be calculated using the compounding formula given as under:

Principal Amount * (1 + r)^(t-n)/n   =  Future Value

Here

Principal Amount is $1,000

r is 8%

n is the number of payment which is 12th here

Future Value is $3,700

By putting values, we have:

$1,000 * (1 + 8%)^(t-12)/12 = $3,700

(1.08)^ (t-12)/12 = 3.7

By taking natural log on both sides:

(t-12)/12 = 17

t = 216

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In the situation being described, it can be said that their agreement is unenforceable because Agro's performance was preexisting duty. This refers to the party's offer of a performance that was already required of them under the existing contract making a modification null. In this scenario, this is exactly what is happening, Agro Excavations has already signed a contract to dig the pond and has no enforceable reason to add $15,000 to the contract price mid-project and must finish digging the pond for the agreed-upon price of the first contract.

An investor with a balanced domestic portfolio who is looking for diversification and returns in the event that U.S. markets do not continue to expand, would be most interested in investing in which of the following?

a. Equities in Emerging Markets
b. Equities in U. S. companies with international appeal
c. Equities in U. S. companies involved in exports of their products
d. Equities in Italian wine exporting companies

Answers

Answer:

Option A, Equities in Emerging Markets, is the right answer.

Explanation:

A person who is not interested to invest in the U.S market or company then will not prefer the U.S companies for their diversification because the economic contraction in the U.S will affect these companies. He will be willing to invest in the equities in the emerging market. Moreover, he will not invest only in the foreign company because it will not provide him with the diversification. Therefore, the option “a” is correct.

Explain some of the basic principles of cost management, such as profits, life cycle cost, tangible and intangible costs and benefits, direct and indirect costs, and Reserves.

Answers

Answer:

Profits - These refer to the revenues accrued from a project less the costs of the project.

Life Cycle Cost - Life Cycle Cost is a concept in Cost management where the cost of a project throughout it's entire life is assessed. Costs assessed therefore include; initial capital costs, maintenance costs and operating costs.

Tangible and Intangible Costs - When costs are tangible, quantifying them.is easy as the cost can be stated and directly attributable to a cost object eg, cost of a fixed asset. Intangible cost on the other hand is not easy to quantify and is not easily attributable. For instance, the experience that a Project Manager leaves with if they resign.

Tangible and Intangible Benefits - Like tangible costs, tangible benefits are easily quantifiable and noticeable such as trade discounts from buying in bulk. Intangible benefits on the other hand are not easily quantifiable. An example would be Employee motivation from a safer working Environment.

Direct and Indirect Costs - Direct costs are costs that can be easily traced to a cost object. In other words, the reason for the cost is known e.g labor cost for assembling a product. Indirect Costs are harder to trace to a cost object even though they are related to production. An example would be the Electricity used for production.

Reserves - Cost reserves are monies held for any emergency expenses that may come up. This way the company can deal with them speedily.

The major components of a time series are all of the following EXCEPT: trend. cycles. random variations. seasonality. inflation.

Answers

Answer: Inflation

Explanation:

Time series data are refer to those taken over a period of years with a minimum of four years being satisfactory. The data shown will have variations that fall under four major components being;

Trend - Data that moves in a predictable fashion and so can be used to predict future behavior.Cycles - The variation here follows the business cycle or its own. Random Variables - Cannot be predicted. Seasonal - These follow a chronological pattern.

Only Inflation does not fall here.

The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 50,000 automobile tires: Actual: 725,000 lbs. at $3.00 per lb. Standard: 730,000 lbs. at $2.95 per lb. a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 725,000 × ($2.95- $3)

= 725,000 × $0.5

= $36,250 unfavorable

b. The computation of the material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $2.95 × (730,000 - 725,000)

= $2.95 × 5,000

= $14,750 favorable

And, the total direct material cost variance is

= Material price variance + material cost variance

= $36,250 unfavorable + 14,750 favorable

= $21,500 unfavorable

In your own words, assess the process of international strategy, competencies, planning, and international competitive advantage.

Answers

Explanation:

An international strategy can be understood as the set of processes and action plans that a company will implement to achieve its objectives in an external market.

An organization decides to internationalize its activities with the objective of conquering a different market that can bring different competitive and financial benefits to the company.

To be successful, the organizational strategy must comprise the set of requirements that must be followed to include itself in a different market, such as, for example, the set of policies that will guide the operation of the business.

In addition, it is necessary to plan its activities in such a way that they are in line with the fundamental requirements of the country, such as multicultural norms, values, tastes, preferences, etc.

Companies generally use internationalization as a competitive strategy, since this can be an effective means of reducing costs, due to the cheaper labor and the less bureaucratic process. A well-positioned brand also guarantees a differential that adds to the ease of an organization being successful in the process of conquering new markets.

Competitive markets ______ goods with positive externalities and ______ goods with negative externalities. Group of answer choices overprovide; underprovide underprovide; overprovide overprovide; overprovide underprovide; underprovide

Answers

Answer:

underprovide; overprovide

Explanation:

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation

Consider the case of Purple Panda Pharmaceuticals: Next year, Purple Panda is expected to earn an EBIT of $2,000,000, and to pay a federal-plus-state tax rate of 30%. It also expects to make $500,000 in new capital expenditures to support this level of business activity, as well as $35,000 in additional net operating working capital (NOWC). Given these expectations, it is reasonable to conclude that next year Purple Panda will generate an annual free cash flow (FCF) of (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).

Answers

Answer:

Board Company has a foreign subsidiary that began operations at the start of 2017 with assets of 155,000 kites (the local currency unit) and liabilities of 100,000. During this initial year of operation, the subsidiary reported a profit of 49,000 kites. It distributed two dividends, each for 7,300 kites with one dividend declared on March 1 and the other on October 1. Applicable exchange rates for 1 kite follow:

January 1, 2017 (start of business) $0.80
March 1,2017 0.78
Weighted average rate for 2017 0.77
October 1,2017 0.76
December 31, 2017 0.75

Required:
a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What transfation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?
b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.
c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

Answers

Answer:

a. The Board would report translation adjustment of -$3,138.

b. See the journal entries and explanation below.

c. Net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

Explanation:

a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What translation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?

Note: See the attached file for the calculation of translation adjustment.

The board would report a negative (debit) translation adjustment of $3,138. That is,

Translation adjustment = -$3,138

b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.

                         (To record 200,000 kites delivered, $154,000 received, and close the forward contract account.)

Workings:

w.1: Translation adjustment = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * (Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite - Exchange rate on December 1, 2017) = 200,000 * (0.76 - 0.75) = $2,000

w.2: Foreign Currency (kites) = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite = 200,000 * 0.76 = $152,000

c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

This can be calculated as follows:

Net translation adjustment = Negative translation adjustment in part a + Positive translation adjustment in part b (i.e. w.1) = -$3,138 + 2,000 = -$1,138

Therefore, net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

Calculate the future value of an investment of $463 for 10 years earning an interest of 9%? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

$1,096.09

Explanation:

The computation of the future value by using the following formula is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years  

= $463 × (1 + 0.09)^10

= $463 × 2.367363675

= $1,096.09

We simply applied the above formula so that the future value could arrive and the same is to be considered

1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study

Answers

Answer:

Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.

Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.

Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.

A firm has a long-term debt-equity ratio of .4. Shareholders’ equity is $1 million. Current assets are $200,000, and the current ratio is 2. The only current liabilities are notes payable. What is the total debt ratio?

Answers

Answer:

Total debt ratio is 33.33%

Explanation:

A long term debt to equity ratio of 0.4 tells that the value of long term debt is 0.4 or 40% of the value of the equity. If the value of the equity is $1 million, the value of long term debt is,

Long term debt = 0.4 * 1000000 = $400000

A current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. It tells how many current assets are available to satisfy $1 of current liabilities. A current ratio of 2 means that for every $1 of current liability, $2 of current assets are available. Thus, current liabilities are half of current assets. If the value of current assets is $200000, the value of current liabilities is,

Current liabilities = 200000 * 1/2  = $100000

Total liabilities = 400000 + 100000 = $500000

A debt ratio is calculated by dividing the value of total debt or total liabilities by the value of total assets.

Total assets = total liabilities + total equity

Total assets = 500000 + 1000000

Total assets = $1500000 or $1.5 million

Total debt ratio = 500000 / 1500000

Total debt ratio = 1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.33%

Answers

Answer:

Net operating income= $5,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $98 per unit

Sales= 11,000 units

Variable cost per unit= (5*3) + (2.5*18) + (2.5*11) + 2.7= $90.2

Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 80,000 per month

Contribution margin income statement:

Sales= 98*11,000= 1,078,000

Total variable cost= (90.2*11,000)= (992,200)

Contribution margin= 85,800

Fixed costs= (80,000)

Net operating income= 5,800

The estimated Net operating income for February should be considered as the $5,800.

Giving that:

Selling price per unit is $98.Sales in February is 11,000 units.Fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $80,000.

Calculation of the estimated net operating income;

Variable cost / unit =  ( 5 [tex]\times[/tex] 3 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 18 ) + ( 2.5 [tex]\times[/tex] 11 ) + 2.7

= $90.2

Now, we calculate contribution margin,

Total Sales value = $98 [tex]\times[/tex] 11,000 =  $1,078,000

Total variable cost = $90.2 * 11,000 = $992,200

Contribution margin = Total Sales value - Total variable cost

= $1,078,000 - $992,200

= $85,800

Now, we can calculate net operating income by using following formula,

Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed selling and administrative expense

Net operating income = $85,800 - $80,000

Net operating income= 5,800

"Your customer has been declared legally incompetent and his daughter has presented the proper legal papers appointing her as the guardian. Which statement is TRUE?"

Answers

Answer: B. Trading instructions can be accepted only from the daughter

Explanation:

The customer has been declared legally incompetent which means that he should not be making decisions that have to do with something as serious as trading instructions as he will not be able to comprehend them.

The only person that should therefore take over such roles would be his daughter who is a legal guardian. As she is not his guardian, she is able to take such decisions for him and so the trading instructions should be accepted only from the daughter.
