roject A costs $6,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $2,150 for five years. What is the payback period for this investment under the assumption that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year
Answer:
It will take 2.79 years to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Project A costs $6,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $2,150 for five years.
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 2,150 - 6,000= -3,850
Year 2= 2,150 - 3,850= -1,700
Year 3= 2,150 - 1,700= 450
To be more accurate:
(1700/2150)= 0.79
It will take 2.79 years to cover the initial investment.
Carnelian Company sells bicycles at $200 each. Variable cost per unit is $160, and total fixed cost is $120,600. Calculate the sales that Carnelian must make to earn an operating income of $21,500. a. $238,833.
b. $716,500.
c. $243,800.
d. $626,000.
Answer:
Carnelian Company
The sales that Carnelian must make to earn an operating income of $21,500 is:
= $710,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per bicycle = $200
Variable cost per unit = $160
Contribution margin per unit = $40 ($200 - $160)
Contribution margin percentage = $40/$200 * 100 = 20%
Fixed cost = $120,600
Target operating income = $21,500
Sales in dollars to earn target operating income = (Fixed cost + Target Income)/Contribution margin ratio
= $120,600 + $21,500/20%
= $142,100/0.2
= $710,500
A U.S. investor has borrowed pounds, converted them to dollars, and invested the dollars in the United States to take advantage of interest rate differentials. To cover the currency risk, the investor should:
Answer: C. Buy pounds forward.
Explanation:
The investor borrowed in pounds which means that they would have to pay back in pounds. They would therefore need pounds at the end of the investment period but need to be sure of the rate they are converting back to so as to reduce currency risk.
The way to cater for this risk would be to buy pounds in the forward market at a guaranteed rate so that when they are to pay back the pounds, they buy it at the rate they agreed to in the forward market, regardless of what the rate is in the spot market when they want to pay back the pounds.

In the short run, fixed costs: Group of answer choices are an important feature in a firm's decision to produce or not produce. have no impact on a firm's profit level. remain constant. do not exist.
Answer:
remain constant.
Explanation:
The short run is a period where all factors of production are fixed. In the short run, a firm would continue to produce if price is above average variable cost. If this is not the case, it would shut down
The long run is a period where all factors of production are varied. It is known as the planning time for a company
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
The price elasticity of gasoline supply in the United States is 0.4. If the price of gasoline rises by 8%, what is the expected change in the quantity of gasoline supplied in the United States?
A. 3.2%
B. + 0.32%
C. + 32.0%
D. + 3.2%
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
0.4 == quantity / 8
3.2%
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

What is the Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities?
Answer:
9,700,000
Explanation:
Essentially... a lot. I would recommend learning about debits and credits. Short explanation is credits are negative and debits are positive. So an increase to a debit is adding to the net value, just as a decrease to a credit adds net value.
We start with 10,000,000.
We subtract 800,000 from this as we are increasing AP, a credit.
We are now at 9,200,000
We then add 600,000 from AR, a debit that is increasing.
We are at 9,800,000.
Finally, we subtract 100,000 because we are decreasing Inventory, a debit.
Our final value is 9,700,000
Mazie Supply Co. uses the percent of accounts receivable method. On December 31, it has outstanding accounts receivable of $87,000, and it estimates that 4% will be uncollectible.

Dorsey Co. has expanded its operations by purchasing a parcel of land with a building on it from Bibb Co. for $89,000. The appraised value of the land is $26,000, and the appraised value of the building is $92,000.
Required:
a. Assuming that the building is to be used in Dorsey Co.’s business activities, what cost should be recorded for the land?
b. Indicate why, for income tax purposes, management of Dorsey Co. would want as little of the purchase price as possible allocated to land. (Select all that apply.) Land is a current asset. Land is not a depreciable asset. Land value will not reduce taxable income. Land is a depreciable asset. Land value reduces taxable income.
c. Indicate why Dorsey Co. allocated the cost of assets acquired based on appraised values at the purchase date rather than on the original cost of the land and building to Bibb Co. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the historical asset value. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the book value. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the asset's current value.
d. Assuming that the building is demolished at a cost of $11,000 so the land can be used for employee parking, what cost should Dorsey Co. record for the land?
Answer:
a. Cost of land = $19,610.17
b. Correct options are:
Land is not a depreciable asset.
Land value will not reduce taxable income.
c. Appraised values are to be used because they represent the asset's current value.
d. Cost of Land = $100,000
Explanation:
a. Assuming that the building is to be used in Dorsey Co.’s business activities, what cost should be recorded for the land?
Total appraised value = Appraised value of the land + Appraised value of the building = $26,000 + $92,000 = $118,000
Cost of land = Purchase price * (Appraised value of the land / Total appraised value) = $89,000 * ($26,000 / $118,000) = $19,610.17
b. Indicate why, for income tax purposes, management of Dorsey Co. would want as little of the purchase price as possible allocated to land. (Select all that apply.)
Correct options are:
Land is not a depreciable asset. Note that an asset that is NOT eligible for tax and accounting purposes to register depreciation in compliance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules is considered NOT to be depreciable property. Since land s NOT eligible for tax and accounting purposes to register depreciation, it therefore not a depreciable asset.
Land value will not reduce taxable income. This due to the fact that land is not a depreciable asset as stated above.
c. Indicate why Dorsey Co. allocated the cost of assets acquired based on appraised values at the purchase date rather than on the original cost of the land and building to Bibb Co.
Appraised values are to be used because they represent the asset's current value.
The current value of an asset is the price at which it can be sold or settled as of the current date.
d. Assuming that the building is demolished at a cost of $11,000 so the land can be used for employee parking, what cost should Dorsey Co. record for the land?
Since it is assumed that the building is demolished, the addition of the purchase price and the cost of demolition will be recorded as the cost of land. This is because the demolition cost is the expense of preparing the land for its intended use. Therefore, we have:
Cost of Land = Purchase price + Cost of demolition = $89,000 + $11,000 = $100,000

Answer:
The right equation to determine the NPW is:
= B) NPW = -20000 + 4000(P/A,6%,3) + 5000(P/F,6%,3)
Explanation:
a) Data:
Present value cost of production equipment = $20,000
Annual benefits = $4,000
Period of useful life = 3 years
MARR = 6%
Salvage value = $5,000
Present Value Annuity Factor for annual benefits for 3 years at 6% = 2.673
Present Value Factor for Salvage Value after 3 years at 6% = 0.840
Present Value Factor for the initial cost of investment = 1
Therefore, to obtain the NPW of the investment, the correct equation is:
B) NPW = -20000 + 4000(P/A,6%,3) + 5000(P/F,6%,3)
where NPW = Net Present Worth

If you place a stop-loss order to sell 100 shares of stock at BDT 55 when the current price is BDT 62, how much will you receive for each share if the price drops to BDT 50?
Answer:
55 per share
Explanation:
A stop-loss is used to immediately sell a stock when it goes down to a certain point. In this example, 50 is beneath 55 so as BDT heads towards 50 it will reach 55. At 55, the selling begins and thus the investor gets 55 per share.
A foreign company has offered to buy 75 units for a reduced sales price of $320 per unit. The marketing manager says the sale will not affect the company's regular sales. The sales manager says that this sale will require variable selling and administrative costs. The production manager reports that it would require an additional $20,000 of fixed manufacturing costs to accommodate the specifications of the buyer. If Fruit Computer Company accepts the deal, how will this impact operating income
Answer:
an increase in the operating income by $16,322
Explanation:
The computation of the impact in the operating income is given below:
Variable cost of 75 units (1300000 × 75 ÷ 12700) 7,678
Sale price of 75 units (75 × 320) 24,000
Increase in operating income (24000 - 7678) $16,322
hence, the impact in the operating income is that there is an increase in the operating income by $16,322
The company's variable overhead costs are driven by machine-hours. What would be the total budgeted overhead cost for next month if the activity level is 2,400 machine-hours rather than 2,500 machine-hours? Assume that the activity levels of 2,500 machine-hours and 2,400 machine-hours are within the same relevant range. Group of answer choices
Answer:
$60,380
Explanation:
Missing word "Kerekes Manufacturing Corporation has prepared the following overhead budget for next month. Activity Level - 2500 Machine Hours - Variable Overhead Cost: Supplies 12,250 Indirect Labor ---22,000 Fixed Overhead: Supervisor 15,500 Utilities -- 5500 Depreciation --- 6500 Total Cost --- 61,750"
So, at activity level of 2500
Total variable overhead cost = Supplies + Indirect labor
Total variable overhead cost = $12,250 + $22,000
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250
So, at activity level of 2400
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250 * 2,400/2,500
Total variable overhead cost = $34,250 * 0.96
Total variable overhead cost = $32,880
So, at 2,400 hours
Total overhead cost = Variable overhead cost + Fixed overhead cost
Total overhead cost = $32,880 + Supervisor salary + Utilities + Depreciation
Total overhead cost = $32,880 + $15,500 + $5,500 + $6,500
Total overhead cost = $60,380

a. DMC under allocated overhead costs to the standard engines.
b. DMC paid more for overhead costs than if it used activity-based costing.
c. DMC over allocated the overhead costs to the standard engines.
Answer:
Hence the correct option is option c. DMC over-allocated the overhead costs to the standard engines.
Explanation:
DMC over-allocated the overhead costs to the quality engines
All overheads have now been allocated within the ratio of machine-hours used i.e. 4:1
If however, ABC system were used, overheads associated with found out would are allocated within the ratio of batches i.e. 1:1
And hence, more overheads would are allocated to custom engines and fewer to plain engines.
The amount purchased overheads will remain equivalent. The systems are only used for the allocation of overheads.

Answer:
Change management is one of the frequently overlooked elements of any technology implementation strategy. Even if the change is widely understood to improve the status quo, people instinctively stick to comfort zones.
Explanation:
The approach to the "human side" of the change is systematic.They have the senior management's long-term commitment.Each layer includes leaders.They support key players' ownership.They undertake clear, regular, and timely communication.They recognize that company culture is important.You are preparing for the unforeseen.They support those affected by the transformation.Every major change creates problems with human relations. New roles and responsibilities may be requested of employees; new skills and abilities may have to be developed.
Change is inherently unsettling for employees at every level of an organization, employees usually look for strength, support, and direction from senior managers when change takes place.
Large-scale change programs require leaders to take responsibility for changes in their areas of influence. The main way to promote ownership is by involving people in the identification and resolution of the problems. Incentives and rewards will reinforce ownership.
A project to build a new bridge seems to be going very well since the project is well ahead of schedule and costs seem to be running very low. A major milestone has been reached where the first two activities have been totally completed and the third activity is 70% complete. The planners were expecting to be only57% through the third activity at this time. The first activity involves prepping the site for the bridge. It was expected that this would cost $1,427,000 and it was done for only $1,307,000. The second activity was the pouring of concrete for the bridge. This was expected to cost $10,507,000 but was actually done for $9,007,000. The third and final activity is the actual construction of the bridge superstructure. This was expected to cost a total of $8,507,000. To date, they have spent $5,007,000 on the superstructure. Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, and cost performance index for the project to dat
Answer:
Schedule variance = $1,105,910
Schedule performance index = 1.066
Cost performance index = 1.168
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of the question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore provided before answering the question.
Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, and cost performance index for the project to date. (Round your "performance index" values to 3 decimal places.)
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
Budgeted cost of work schedule = Expected cost of first activity + Expected cost of second activity + (Expected cost third activity * Expected percentage of completion) = $1,427,000 + $10,507,000 + ($8,507,000 * 57%) = $16,782,990
Budgeted cost of work performed = Expected cost of first activity + Expected cost of second activity + (Expected cost third activity * Actual percentage completed) = $1,427,000 + $10,507,000 + ($8,507,000 * 70%) = $17,888,900
Actual cost to date = Actual cost of first activity + Actual cost of second activity + Actual amount spent on third activity to date = $1,307,000 + $9,007,000 + $5,007,000 = $15,321,000
Therefore, we have:
Schedule variance = Budgeted cost of work performed - Budgeted cost of work schedule = $17,888,900 - $16,782,990 = $1,105,910
Schedule performance index = Budgeted cost of work performed / Budgeted cost of work schedule = $17,888,900 / $16,782,990 = 1.066
Cost performance index = Budgeted cost of work performed / Actual cost to date = 1.168
Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $96,000 to produce 2,425 units that can be sold now for $81,500 to another manufacturer. Alternatively, Holmes can process the units further at an incremental cost of $255 per unit. If Holmes processes further, the units can be sold for $415 each. Should Holmes sell the product now or process it further
Answer: Holmes should process it further to make a profit of $306,496
Explanation:
If Holmes sells now, the selling price would be:
= Amount sold for / No. of units
= 81,500 / 2,425
= $33.61
If the company processes further and sells at $415, they will get a profit per unit of:
= 415 - 255
= $160 per unit
Incremental revenue is:
= (160 - 33.61) * 2,425 units
= $306,495.75
Holmes should process it further.
