The first thing would be to analyze the situation. It is crystal clear in the Accessibility Elite table that the accessibility of Digby products are 2nd largest among the rival companies.
Now we will look at whether the company has taken advantage of its second largest accessibility position or not. This can be seen in Actual Vs Potential Market Share table. The units produced were sold in the year which means that the accessibility of the product is even more than its rivals as the market share captured in the year by Digby is above 40%. This means that their is an increased demand for Digby's Product. This can also be seen by segment growth rate in the Elite Statistics (Top Left Corner) which is anticipated to be at 16%.
All these things says that Digby must produce as much as possible, hence quantity would be a greater number.

The warranty liability account has a credit balance of $11,000 before adjustment. Customers returned merchandise for warranty repairs during the month that used $7,600 in parts for repairs. The entry to record the estimated warranty expense for the month is:
Answers
Answer:
Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600
Cr Spare Parts Inventory $8,600
Explanation:
The estimated warranty claim is worth $7,600 which means that the warranty claim must be debited by this amount as it was previously forecasted to be at $11,000 and in this month, the claim was worth $7,600. So decrease in warranty liability is necessary. Furthermore, the Spare Parts Inventory would be credited as the Spare parts would be used to fix the inventory which must be of $7,600 in value.
The double entry to record Warranty Repairs would be as under:
Dr Estimated Warranty Liability $8,600
Cr Spare Parts Inventory $8,600
Ballpark has shares of par common stock outstanding. Ballpark announces a stock split of for1. What is the effect of the split?
Answers
Answer:
The answer is 'it increases the number of shares outstanding'
Explanation:
Stock split increases the number of shares outstanding. It causes dilution of earnings per share.
For example, ABC Inc. has 50,000 shares outstanding and it announces a stock split of 3-for- 1.
This means that any shareholder that has 1 will exchange that 1 share for 3 shares. So at the end of the stock split the total number of shares outstanding will be 150,000 shares (50,000 x 3)
A customer wishes to purchase $100,000 face amount of municipal bonds that the broker-dealer does not have in inventory. Under MSRB rules, the firm should:
Answers
Answer:
contact enough dealers so that a reasonable market quote is obtained . when a municipal dealer acts in an agency capacity, the price charged must be representative of the market for that type of security. There is no requirement to obtain a pre-set number of quotes (as a contrast, FINRA requires that a minimum of 3 quotes be obtained for non-NASDAQ OTC issues, meaning OTCBB or Pink Sheet issues), nor is there a requirement to direct the customer to a dealer that physically has those bonds. The dealer would not sell short the bonds to the customer, since short covering is very difficult in the thinly traded municipal market.

Required:
If the interest rate is 5% then. what is the present value of the cash flows?
Answers
Answer:
$51,020.40
Explanation:
We use the formula PV = FV * (1 + r)^n for finding the present value
There are two cash flows, one that occur in year 1 at $25,000 and second that occur in year 2 at $30,000.
Find the PV of this cash flow at r = 5% and n = 1 and 2 =
25000(1+5%)^-1 + 30000(1 + 5%)^-2
25,000(1+0.05)^-1 + 30,000(1 + 0.05)^-2
25,000(1.05^)-1 + 30,000(1.05)^-2
25,000(0.952381) + 30,000(0.907029)
23,809.525 + 27,210.87
=$51,020.40
Thus, the present value of the cash flows is $51,020.40

What is the standard deviation of each asset? Hint: Make sure to round all intermediate calculations to at least seven (7) decimal places. The input instructions, phrases in parenthesis after each answer box, only apply for the answers you will type. a. What is the expected return of asset A?
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of expected return of each assets is shown below:-
Expected Return on Asset A in state is
= 0.39 × 0.02 + 0.45 × 0.02 + 0.16 × 0.02
= 0.02
Expected Return on Asset B in state is
= 0.39 × 0.25 + 0.45 × 0.06 + 0.16 × -0.04
= 0.1181
Expected Return on Asset C in state is
= 0.39 × 0.35 + 0.45 × 0.19 + 0.16 × -0.22
= 0.1868
b. The computation of variance of each asset is shown below:-
Variance of Assets A is
= 0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2
= 0
Variance of Assets B is
= 0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2
= 0.0123
Variance of Assets C is
= 0.39 × (0.35 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.45 × (0.19 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.22 - 0.1868)^2
= 0.0369
c. The computation of standard deviation of each asset is shown below:-
Standard Deviation of A is
= (0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2)^0.5
= 0
Standard Deviation of B is
= (0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2)^0.5
= 0.1109
Standard Deviation of C is
= (0.39 × (0.35 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.45 × (0.19 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.22 - 0.1868)^2)^0.5

Consider the following information on large-company stocks for a period of years. Series Arithmetic Mean Large-company stocks 12.1 % Inflation 3.4A. What was the arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in nominal terms?
B. What was the arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in real terms?
Answers
Answer:
a. 12.1 %
b. 8.41%
Explanation:
a. The arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in nominal terms is already stated in the table as 12.1%.
This is because it was not yet adjusted for inflation making it nominal.
b. The arithmetic average annual return on large-company stocks in real terms can be expressed by;
Real Return = [(1 + Nominal rate) / (1 + Inflation rate)] - 1
= (( 1 + 12.1%) / ( 1 + 3.4%)) - 1
= (1.121/1.034) - 1
= 1.0841 - 1
= 8.41%

Excellent Manufacturers Inc. has a current production level of 20,000 units per month. Unit costs at this level are: Direct materials $0.26 Direct labor 0.40 Variable overhead 0.16 Fixed overhead 0.21 Marketing − fixed 0.25 Marketing/distribution − variable 0.42 Current monthly sales are 18,000 units. Jax Company has contacted Excellent about purchasing 1,550 units at $2.00 each. Current sales would NOT be affected by the one−time−only special order, and variable marketing/distribution costs would NOT be incurred on the special order. What is Ratzlaff Company's change in operating profits if the special order is accepted?
Answers
Answer:
The increase in operating profit is $1,829.00.
Explanation:
The rise or fall in the operating income:
= Purchase unit × ( offer price- direct material- direct labor- variable overhead)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = 1550× (2 - 0.26 - 0.4 - 0.16)
The rise or fall in the operating income: = $1829
Therefore the profit will increase by $1829
Here all the fixed cost is not considered because it is a sunk cost and variable and administrative expenses are also not considered because these costs are not going to be incurred for offer.

The decision that could be made regarding the statement that "In the modern world, income has turned equivalent to success" would be:
Yes.
The reason to agree with this statement is due to the increased importance that the modern world has provided to money.For example, a person is considered successful only when he earns a handsome amount while a person with a lower or average income but greater satisfaction level is considered unsuccessful. However, there is also a saying that "money can't buy happiness" which suggests that people can be sad even after having money and vice versa.Thus, it depends on the individual's perception and the way they equate success with happiness or material possessions.Learn more about "Income" here:

Required:
a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?
b. What is the company’s total market value of debt?
c. What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt?
Answers
Answer:
a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?
total book value of debt = $60,000,000 + $35,000,000 = $95,000,000
b. What is the company’s total market value of debt?
total market value of debt = ($60,000,000 x 1.07) + ($35,000,000 x 0.76) = $64,200,000 + $26,600,000 = $90,800,000
c. What is your best estimate of the after tax cost of debt?
weight of debt (using market value):
$64,200,000 / $90,800,000 = 70.7%
$26,600,000 / $90,800,000 = 29.3%
YTM bond I = {1,200,000 + [(60,000,000 - 64,200,000)/56]} / [(60,000,000 + 64,200,000)/2] = 1,125,000 / 62,100,000 = 1.8115 x 2 = 3.62%
YTM bond II = (35 / 26.6)¹/¹⁰ - 1 = 2.78%
after tax cost of debt = (0.707 x 3.62% x 0.79) + (0.293 x 2.78% x 0.79) = 2.02% + 0.64% = 2.66%

Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $105, direct labor of $35, and variable overhead of $50. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $645,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $111,000 for the next year. It expects to produce and sell 10,500 snowboards in the next year.
Required:
What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost?
Answers
Answer:
Selling price = $301.3
Explanation:
The selling price would be determined by adding the total unit cost to the mark- up.
Mark up is the proportion of cost that is to be earned as profit.
Selling price = Total unit cost + Profit
Profit = 25% × unit cost
Selling price = Unit cost + Mark-up
Selling price = Unit cost + (15%× unit cost)
Total unit cost =Variable cost + unit fixed cost
Total fixed cost = 645,000 + 111,000 = 756,000
Unit fixed cost = $756,000 /10,500 =×72
Total unit cost = 105 + 35 + 50 + 72 = 262
Selling price = 262 + ( 15% + 262) = 301.3
Selling price = $301.3
You must decide between $25,000 in cash today or $30,000 in cash to be received two years from now. If you can earn 8 percent interest on your investments, which is the better deal?
Answers
Answer:
The deal to receive $30000 is better.
Explanation:
To find the better deal we need to calculate the present value of $30000 and then compare it with the amount $25000. If the amount is greater than the $25000, then the amount should be received after the 2 years.
The given time period (n )= 2
Interest rate (r ) = 8%
The amount received after 2 years = $30000
[tex]\text{Present value of money} = \frac{Future \ value}{(1 + r)^n } \\= \frac{30000}{(1+0.08)^2} \\= $25720.16[/tex]
Since the amount is more than $25000 so the deal to receive the money after 2 years will be better.

Explanation:
People had been expecting the price level to be 140 but it turns out to be 138. Johnson Family Restaurants increases the number of workers it employs. Sticky wage theory nor sticky price theory could explain this.
What makes wages and prices sticky?Sticky wages are a result of a number of factors, including the minimum wage, employee contracts, labor unions, the efficiency wage theory, and the expense of hiring and terminating employees. It is challenging to exit a recession when wages and prices are stuck, creating a vicious cycle.
A theoretical market condition known as "stickiness" occurs when a certain nominal price resists change. Stickiness, also known as price stickiness, is a term that is frequently used to describe market prices even though it frequently refers to wages.
Many economists think that prices are "sticky" and that they change gradually. According to them, this stickiness indicates that changes in the money supply have an effect on the real economy, causing changes in investment, employment, output, and consumption. Policymakers can take advantage of this effect.

This is where what I call a deviant comes in. Every team needs a deviant, someone who can help the team by challenging the tendency to want too much homogeneity, which can stifle creativity and learning. Deviants are the ones who stand back and say, ‘Well, wait a minute, why are we even doing this at all? What if we looked at the thing backwards or turned it inside out?’ That’s when people say, ‘Oh, no, no, no, that’s ridiculous,’ and so the discussion about what’s ridiculous comes up. Unlike the CFO I mentioned before, who derailed the team by shutting down discussions, the deviant opens up more ideas, and that gets you a lot more originality. In our research, we’ve looked carefully at both teams that produced something original and those that were merely average, where nothing really sparkled. It turned out that the teams with deviants outperformed teams without them. In many cases, deviant thinking is a source of great innovation."According to Hackman, a deviant may help a group consider _______, but if the deviant has a strong personality and limits the input of others, the problem of ________ , may arise.
