Answer:
For 225,000 units FMS is the best alternative.
For GPE: TC
GPE
[tex]= $100,000 + ($15.00\times 225,000)\\\\= $3,475,000[/tex]
For 0 units GPE has the lowest TC. The next lowest cost is FMS.
x = ($200,000-$100,000)/($15-$14) = 100,000
Therefore, for 0 to 100,000 units GPE is the best alternative.
Explanation:
Formula used:-
For 225,000 units FMS is the best alternative.
Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost (FC) + [Variable Cost (VC) x Annual Contract Units (ACU)]
For GPE: TC
GPE
[tex]= $100,000 + ($15.00\times 225,000)\\\\= $3,475,000[/tex]
For FMS: TC
FMS
[tex]= $200,000 + ($14.00\times 225,000)\\\\= $3,350,000[/tex]
For DM: TC
DM
[tex]= $480,000 + ($13.00 \times225,000)\\\\= $3,405,000[/tex]
For 0 units GPE has the lowest TC. The next lowest cost is FMS. Comparing these two plans, let x be the no of units when the cost of both plans is the same.
x = ($200,000-$100,000)/($15-$14) = 100,000
Therefore, for 0 to 100,000 units GPE is the best alternative
Similarly comparing FMS and DM to find x, we get
x= ($ 480,000-$ 200,000)/($14-$13) = 280,000
So, for the 225,000 and 280,000 range, FMS is the best alrernative.
For greater than 280,000 DM is the best alternative.
The option GPE is best when the contracted volume is below 100,000 units
The option FMS is best when the contracted volume is between 100,000 and 280,000 units (enter your response as a whole number)
The option DM is best when the contracted volume is over 280,000 units (enter your response as a whole number)

Gravity, Inc., needs to raise $53 million to fund its expansion plans. The company will sell shares at a price of $29.00 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 7.5 percent. How many shares need to be sold?a- 1,975,769b- 1,827,586c- 1,457,212d- 2,195,299e- 1,700,080
Answer:
a. 1,975,769
Explanation:
Underwriter's commission per share = 7.5% * $29
Underwriter's commission per share = $2.175
Amount received by company per share = Price per share in general cash offer - Underwriter's commission per share
Amount received by company per share = $29 - $2.175
Amount received by company per share = $26.825
Amount that company wants to raise = Number of shares sold * Amount received by company per share
53,000,000 = Number of shares sold * $26.825
Number of shares sold = 53,000,000 / $26.825
Number of shares sold = 1975768.87
No of shares to be sold = 1,975,768

Acme Fastener and Tool is having major problems with demand management. The VP of Sales is very focused on increasing productivity according to forecasts, but the operations manager routinely presents obstacles to increasing production above current levels. Of the following, which problem is the firm experiencing?
a. Functional silos.
b. Lack of attention on operational planning.
c. Overemphasis on forecasting.

In the given scenario VP of Sales is very focused on increasing productivity according to forecasts, but the operations manager routinely presents obstacles to increasing production above current levels.
They are both pursuing conflicting agendas instead of working together.
This is called functional silo.

The following labor standards have been established for a particular product:
Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours
Standard labor rate $16.70 per hour
The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month:
Actual hours worked 5,200 hours
Actual total labor cost $87,360
Actual output 1,100 units
Required:
a. What is the labor rate variance for the month?
b. What is the labor efficiency variance for the month?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Labor rate variance for the month
= (SR - AR) × AH
= ($16.70 - ($87,360/5,200 hours)) × 5,200
= ($16.70 - $16.8) × 5,200
= $520 Unfavourable
b. Labor efficiency variance
= (SH - AH) × AR
(4.4 × 1,100) - 5,200) × $16.70
= (4,840 - 5,200) × $16.70
= $6,012 Unfavourable
Problems and Applications Q8 Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 4.3 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $1.50. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price
We already have the percentage change in quantity demanded as -4.3%.
We need to find the percentage change in price using the midpoint method.
= (New price - Old price) ÷ ((New Price + Old price) / 2)
Old price = 1.50 - 0.25 = $1.25
Percentage change in price = (1.50 - 1.25) ÷ ((1.50 + 1.25) / 2)
= 18.18%
Price elasticity of demand = -4.3% / 18.18%
= -0.24
According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. TRUE.
The statement is true because the price elasticity of demand here is Inelastic and when this is the case, revenue rises when the price of the good or service increases.
The price elasticity of demand is inelastic when it is less than 1 which is the case here.

Start Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 50,000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2012. What is the annual dividend on the preferred stock? Group of answer choices $60 per share $30,000 in total $50,000 in total $0.60 per share
Answer:
$30,000 in total
Explanation:
The annual dividend on preferred stock can be determined based on the dividend rate, in other words, the annual dividend is the dividend rate multiplied by the face value of the preferred stock as shown thus:
annual dividend on preferred stock=number of preferred shares outstanding*par value per share*dividend rate
number of preferred shares outstanding=5,000
par value per share=$100
dividend rate=6%
50,000 shares refer to the number of common stocks outstanding
annual dividend on preferred stock=5000*$100*6%
annual dividend on preferred stock=$30,000
dividend per share=$30000/5000=$6

Ellen Co. has offered their customers a 1% discount off the amount owed if they pay within 15 days of receiving their bill. Handler Company owed Ellen Co. $2,185 as of May 1st and paid Ellen Co. on May 7th. How much cash did Handler Company send to Ellen Co. on May 7th?
Answer:
Money send to Ellen = $2163.15
Explanation:
Discount offered by the Ellen Co. = 1%
Owed amount = $2185
Since the amount is repaid within 15 days to the offer of a 1% discount will be applicable. So the Handler will send an amount that is 1% less than the actual amount.
Money send to Ellen = 2185 - (1% x 2185)
Money send to Ellen = $2163.15
Swifty Corporation has beginning work in process inventory of $128000 and total manufacturing costs of $277000. If cost of goods manufactured is $280000, what is the cost of the ending work in process inventory?
a. $125000
b. $131000.
c. $140000.
d. $110000.
Answer:
a. $125000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of the ending work in process inventory
Beginning work in process inventory $128000
Add total manufacturing costs $277000
Less cost of goods manufactured $280000
Ending work in process inventory $125000
($128000+$277000-$280000)
Therefore the cost of the ending work in process inventory is $125000
Current interest rates are 8%. You want to buy a long-term bond with a face value of $1000 that pays a coupon rate of 10%. Which of the following prices is feasible?
a. $888.88
b. $1,000.00
c. $1,111.11
d. Not enough information to answer.
e. None of the above is feasible.
Answer: c. $1,111.11
Explanation:
When a bond's coupon rate is higher than the prevailing interest rate, the bond will be more sought after because it is paying more than the market is paying. As a result, the price of the bond will be higher than its par value to reflect the increased demand for it.
In other words, when a bond coupon rate is higher than the interest rate, the price will be higher than par. This is the case here so the bond will be selling at a higher price than $1,000 and the only option higher than $1,000 is option c at $1,111.11.
$1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds (ignore liquidity premiums) Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 6.00% B 2 7.50% C 3 7.99% D 4 8.49% E 5 10.70% One year from now bond C should sell for ________ (to the nearest dollar).
Answer:
$842
Explanation:
The computation of the One year from now bond C should sell is shown below;
But before that we have to determined the expected yield to maturity for bond C in one year :
So,
1.0799^3 = 1.06 x (1 + r)^2
1.188 = (1 + r)^2
√1.188 = √(1 + r)^2
1.08999 = 1 + r
r = 0.08999
= 9%
Now
the yield to maturity = (future value ÷ present value)^0.5 - 1
0.09 + 1 = ($1,000 ÷ value in 1 year)^0.5
1.09 = ($1,000 ÷ value in 1 year)^0.5
1.09^2 = $1,000 ÷ value in 1 year
So,
value in 1 year is
= $1,000 ÷ 1.09^2
= $1,000 ÷ 1.1881
= $841.68
≈ $842

On January 1, 2019, Wasson Company purchased a delivery vehicle costing $36,500. The vehicle has an estimated 6-year life and a $3,500 residual value. What is the vehicle's book value as of December 31, 2020, assuming Wasson uses the straight-line depreciation method
Answer:
Book value= $25,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $36,500
Residual value= $3,500
Useful life= 6 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (36,500 - 3,500) / 6
Annual depreciation= $5,500
Now, the accumulated depreciation and book value:
Accumulated depreciation= 5,500*2= $11,000
Book value= 36,500 - 11,000
Book value= $25,500

Fones Inc. and Speed Dial Corp. are two competitors in the mobile phone market. The cost incurred by each company to manufacture smartphones is $200 per unit. Although both the companies sell their smartphones at the same price, Speed Dial Corp. has a larger market share in the smartphone industry. What does this imply
Answer: C. Speed Dial Corp has been able to offer more perceived value than Fones Inc.
Explanation:
Both companies incur the same costs to produce the phone and also sell at the same price. This means that they should be selling the same number of phones in theory. This is not the case however as Speed Dial Corp is selling more.
The reason Speed Dial must be selling more phones is that they sell a better phone for the same price. In offering more value to the customer for the same price, the customers are buying more from Speed Dial than from Fones because they are getting a better deal for the same price which means that Speed Dial's phone is undervalued.

Answer:
5.83 times
Explanation:
The computation of the Gamble's inventory turnover is given below:
As we know that
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ (ending inventory + opening inventory) ÷ 2

= $700,000 ÷ $120,000
= 5.83 times
