If five different errands are allocated to five time slots, 12-1pm,1-2pm,2-3pm,3-4pm and 4-5pm, how many distinct schedules are possible
Answer:
120
Explanation:
There are 5 different errands and five different time slots for the errands. We are then required to find in how many ways these errands would be arranged in the time slots schedules.
The number of ways the errands can be arranged in the time slot is 5!
5! = 1×2×3×4×5= 120
Therefore there are 120 different ways to arrange the errands in the times slots schedules(5) available.
What is the similarity between high-technology firms and service-based firms that makes them risky as restructuring candidates
Answer:
Thet are both human-resource dependent.
Explanation:
Human resources refers to the group of people who make up a firm's workforce or personnel and are considered a valuable asset in terms of skills and talents.
Restructuring is the phrase used in corporate management to describe the process of rearranging a firm's legal, ownership, operational, or other structures in order to make it more lucrative or better organized for its current needs.
Because the firm's personnel are human, they have the capacity to resist any restructuring they believe will negatively affect them. This makes high-tech and service-based firms which are human-resource dependent to be particularly risky restructuring candidates.

On May 31, the Cash account of Teasel had a normal balance of $5,400. During May, the account was debited for a total of $12,600 and credited for a total of $11,900. What was the balance in the Cash account at the beginning of May?
a. A $0 balance.
b. A $6,100 debit balance.
c. A $6,100 credit balance.
d. A $4,700 debit balance.
e. A $4,700 credit balance.
Answer:
d. A $4,700 debit balance.
Explanation:
Note that the cash account is an asset account that a debit increases and a credit reduce it, hence, the balance at the beginning of May would be increased by debit entry and decreased as a result of the credit entry as shown thus:
closing balance=beginning balance+debit-credit
closing balance=$5,400
beginning balance=unknown
debit=$12,600
credit=$11,900
$5400=X+$12,600-$11,900
X=$5,400-$12,600+$11,900
X=$4,700(debit)
If the coupon rate on a bond is higher than the yield to maturity, Multiple Choice the bond sells at a discount. the coupon rate on the bond has decreased. interest rates have probably increased since the bond was issued. the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
Answer:
the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
A yield to maturity can be defined as the bond's total rate of return required by the secondary market while the coupon rate is defined as the annual interest of a bond divided by its face value.
Hence, if the coupon rate on a bond is higher than the yield to maturity, the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.

The Aqua Liquid Assets Money Market Mutual Fund has a NAV of $1 per share. During the year, the assets held by this fund appreciated by 1.4 percent. If you had invested $50,000 in this fund at the start of the year, how many shares would you own at the end of the year
Answer:
Missing word "Final shares=? Net asset value=?"
Final shares is computed as follows:
= (Amount invested / NAV per share) * (1 + Fund appreciation)
= ($50,000 / $ 1) * (1 + 0.014)
= $50,000 * 1.014
= $50,700
As know that this is a Money Market Mutual Fund, hence the Net asset value of this fund at the end of the year will be also $1.

Be-The-One is a motivational consulting business. At the end of its accounting period, December 31, 20Y2, Be-The-One has assets of $395,000 and liabilities of $97,000. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts: a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y2. $fill in the blank 1 b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y3, assuming that assets decreased by $65,000 and liabilities increased by $36,000 during 20Y3. $fill in the blank 2
Answer:
a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y2
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
395,000 = Equity + 97,000
Equity = 395,000 - 97,000
= $298,000
b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 20Y3.
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
(395,000 - 65,000) = Equity + (97,000 + 36,000)
330,000 = Equity + 133,000
Equity = 330,000 - 133,000
= $197,000

g A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income: Group of answer choices will be risk neutral will be risk averse will be risk loving
Answer: Risk averse
Explanation:
A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income will derive less utility from income as income increases. A risk averse person is one who would rather avoid risk but still prefers a high income.
Such a person will have a diminishing marginal utility in income because income increases more when there is more risk. A risk averse person does not want that risk and so will go for a lower income which means that they don't want more income as it is riskier to them.
Recher Corporation uses part Q89 in one of its products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 9,900 units of the part that are needed every year. Per Unit Direct materials $ 6.30 Direct labor $ 3.50 Variable overhead $ 6.90 Supervisor's salary $ 2.60 Depreciation of special equipment $ 2.20 Allocated general overhead $ 1.20 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $22.00 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $4,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided. In addition, the space used to produce part Q89 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $16,200 per year for that product.
Required:
a. Prepare a report that shows the financial impact of buying part Q89 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
b. Which alternative should the company choose
Trudeau’s Body Shop incurs total costs given by TC = 2,400 + 100 Q. If the price it charges for a paint job is $120, what is its break-even level of output?
Answer:
The break-even level of output is 120 units.
Explanation:
Since Total Cost formula is provided, we can use elements contained in the formulae to determine the break-even level of output.
The break-even level of output is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a Profit nor a Loss. In other words, Profit = $0
Step 1 : Collect data
So given :
TC = 2,400 + 100 Q
This means :
Fixed Costs = $2,400
Variable Costs = $100 per unit
Additional Information gives :
Selling Price per unit = $120
Step 2 : Determine the break-even level of output
Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable Cost
= $20
thus,
Break even (units) = $2,400 ÷ $20
= 120 units
Conclusion :
The break-even level of output is 120 units.

Product K has a unit contribution margin of $120. Product L has a unit contribution margin of $100. Product K requires five furnace hours, while Product L requires four furnace hours. Determine the most profitable product, assuming the furnace is a bottleneck constraint.
Answer: Product L is more profitable
Explanation:
The unit contribution margin per production of product K per bottleneck hour will be:
= $120/5
= $24
The unit contribution margin per production of product L per bottleneck hour will be:
= $100/4
= $25
Product L is more profitable as it gives a profit of ($25 - $24) = $1 more than product K
A government bond issued in France has a coupon rate of 5% (paid annually) and a face value of 100 euros, and it matures in 5 years. Calculate the price of the bond (in euros) if the yield to maturity is 3.5%.
Answer:
Bond Price= 106.77
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= 100
Coupon= 100*0.05= 5
Yield To Maturity= 0.035
Years to maturity= 5 years
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 5*{[1 - (1.035^-5)] / 0.035} + [100/(1.035^5)]
Bond Price= 22.57 + 84.2
Bond Price= 106.77
Diminishing returns are a reason that fixed costs remain constant. the marginal cost curve is upward sloping. the average fixed cost curve is downward sloping. the marginal cost curve is downward sloping.
Answer:
the marginal cost curve is upward sloping.
Explanation:
Utility can be defined as any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service.
This ultimately implies that, any satisfaction or benefits a customer derives from the use of a product or service is generally referred to as a utility.
Basically, the marginal utility of goods and services is the additional satisfaction that a consumer derives from consuming or buying an additional unit of a good or service.
For example, buying a candy stick and eating it may satisfy your cravings but eating another one (an additional or extra unit) wouldn't give you as much satisfaction as the first due to diminishing marginal utility.
In Economics, the law of diminishing marginal utility states that as the unit of a good or service consumed by an individual increases, the additional satisfaction he or she derives from consuming additional units would start decreasing or diminishing as the units of good or service consumed increases.
Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.
Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity. A marginal cost curve is upward sloping because of the law of diminishing returns.
Find the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc. The DPS at the end of year 1 is $2.00; at the end of year 2 is $2.40; at the end of year 3 is $2.70. After the third year, the DPS grows at a constant rate of 5%. The required rate of return is 12%.
Answer: 34.33
Explanation:
Firstly, we'll calculate the terminal value
which willl be:
= 2.70 × (1+5%)/(12% - 5%)
= 2.70 x 1.05/(0.12 - 0.05)
= 40.5
Then, the intrinsic value will be:
= 2/1.12 + 2.4/1.12² + (2.7 + 40.5)/1.12³
= 34.33
Therefore, the the intrinsic value of XYZ Inc is 34.33

Sassy, Inc. needs $115 million to build a new distribution center. If it issues common stock to raise the funds, the issuance costs will be 8 percent of the total amount issued. If Sassy can issue stock at $40 per share, how many shares of common stock must be issued so that it has $115 million after flotation costs to use to fund the construction of the distribution center
Answer: 3,125,000 shares.
Explanation:
The number of shares of common stock that must be issued will be calculated as follows:
Let the amount to be raised be represented by x. Therefore,
x - (8% × x) = $115 million
x - (0.08 × x) = $115 million
x - 0.08x = $115 million
0.92x = $115 million
x = $115 million/0.92
x = $125 million
Then the number of shares that'll be issued will be:
= Amount raised / Issue price of stock.
= $125 million / 40

According to the given question, Quasik intends to hedge its receivable position by purchasing options. Because Quasi will get CAD in the future, it should purchase a put option, or the right to sell.
Put option purchase cost = 0.01 * 300,000
= 3,000
Because the spot rate is $0.71 per CAD after 90 days, Quasik will exercise its option at the rate of $0.73 per USD.
Received amount = 0.73 * 300,000
= 219,000
After deducting the cost of purchasing the option, the net amount received is,
= 219,000 - 3,000
= 216,000.
