Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The Value added lead time is
= (cutting & assembly + decorating process time)
= 3 minutes + 9 minutes
= 12 minutes
For Non-value added lead time :
Move time = 4 minutes
Now
within batch wait time = value added time × ( batch size - 1)
= (3 + 9) × ( 12 - 1)
= 132 minutes
So,
Total lead time = 144 minutes

If the amount of carbonated sodas consumed continues to decline as consumers continue to choose to buy healthier products, this will likely:_____.
a. increase the demand for premium water, because premium water and carbonated sodas are considered complements.
b. decrease the demand for premium water, because premium water is considered a normal good and carbonated sodas are considered inferior goods.
c. increase the demand for premium water, because premium water and carbonated sodas are considered substitutes.
d. decrease the demand for premium water, because premium water is considered an inferior good and carbonated sodas are considered normal goods.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
carbonated sodas are considered to be unhealthy and premium water is considered to be health. If consumers reduce consumption of carbonated sodas, they would want to consume something more healthy. This can be water. thus, the goods are substitutes
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
If the demand for carbonated sodas decreases, there would be an increase in demand for premium water
All of the following assets require a title as proof of ownership, except: Group of answer choices Life insurance. Boat. Home. Vehicle.
Answer:
Life insurance.
Explanation:
A life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.
All of the following assets such as home, boat, vehicle require a title as proof of ownership, except a life insurance because no one person can present a proof to attest to the ownership of their life.
Simply stated, a life of an individual is abstract and as such can not be quantified or qualified by any document as a proof to be presented to another person or business entity. Thus, a life insurance cannot be used as a collateral to obtain credits or loans from a financial institution or investors.
Winston Company reported net income of $50,000 for the year. During the year, accounts receivable decreased by $7,000, accounts payable increased by $3,000 and depreciation expense of $5,000 was recorded. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year is Group of answer choices $40,000. $65,000. $49,000. $45,000.
Answer:
$65000
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
To find the net cash from the operating activity, we are required to add depreciation, accounts payable and accounts receivables.
Net income of the company = $50000
Add- expenses of depreciation = 5000
Add - Increase in accounts payable = 3000
Add - Decrease in accounts receivable = $7000
Thus net cash from operating activity = 50000 + 5000 + 3000 + 7000 = $65000
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the leading competitors in the market for cola products. In 1960 Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, which today is the worldwide leader in the lemon-lime soft drink market and ranks fourth among all soft drinks worldwide. Prior to 1999, PepsiCo did not have a product that competed directly against Sprite and had to decide whether to introduce such a soft drink. By not introducing a lemon-lime soft drink, PepsiCo would continue to earn a $200 million profit, and Coca-Cola would continue to earn a $300 million profit. Suppose that by introducing a new lemon-lime soft drink, one of two possible strategies could be pursued: (1) PepsiCo could trigger a price war with Coca-Cola in both the lemon-lime and cola markets, or (2) Coca-Cola could acquiesce and each firm maintain its current 50/50 split of the cola market and split the lemon-lime market 30/70 (PepsiCo/Coca-Cola). If PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and a price war resulted, both companies would earn profits of $100 million. Alternatively, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would earn $275 million and $227 million, respectively, if PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and Coca-Cola acquiesced and split the markets as listed above. If you were a manager at PepsiCo, would you try to convince your colleagues that introd

Furniture, Inc., estimates the following number of mattress sales for the first four months of 2019: Month Sales January 29,000 February 40,800 March 34,600 April 36,200 Finished goods inventory at the end of December is 7,000 units. Target ending finished goods inventory is 20% of the next month's sales. How many mattresses need to be produced in January 2019?
Select one:
a. 27,800 mattresses
b. 41,800 mattresses
c. 30,160 mattresses
d. 44,160 mattresses
Answer:
c. 30,160 mattresses
Explanation:
At the beginning of January, we had 7,000 units as opening stock inventory( which was the ending inventory in December), which means out of the planned sales in January 7,000 units are already available
The balance of January sales to be produced in January is the excess of planned sales of 29,000 units over the beginning inventory of 9,000 units
January sales items to be produced in January=29000-7000
January sales items to be produced in January=22,000
Also, we need to produce 20% of February sales in January which would serve as the closing inventory
total production in January=22,000+(40,800*20%)
total production in January=. 30,160 mattresses
Mutual fund A earned 10 percent while B earned 8 percent. The standard deviations of the returns were 10 percent and 7 percent, respectively. The risk free rate is 1%. According to the Sharpe ratio, which fund performed better
Answer:
Explanation:
The Sharpe ratio is given by:
(Return of portfolio - risk free rate) / standard deviation.
Company Company A Company B Forecasted return 7% 11% Standard deviation of returns 8% 23% Beta 1 3 The market risk premium is 6% and the risk-free rate is 3%. Using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), will you invest in the companies
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Required rate of return = Risk Free Rate + Beta × (Market Return -Risk Free Rate)
For company A
= 3% + 1 × 6%
= 9%
For Company B
= 3% + 3 × 6%
= 21%
As we can see that the forecast return should be lower than the required return so we should not invest in company A also the same is done in company B too
Therefore we dont invest in any of the company

Navistar Trucking has adopted a new approach to capital budgeting. What is the fundamental way in which the new approach differs from the traditional approach
Answer:
They use a capital budgeting approach that has a bigger planning cycle, also focus is on shareholder value
Explanation:
Navistar Trucking adopted capital budgeting accounting system. This entails estimating if the price being paid for long term investments in projects and equipment is worthwhile.
Methods like internal rate of return, payback period, and net present value are used to assess value of investment.
Navistar trucking plans its capital budgeting in 5-10 years unlike traditional approach that does so every year.
Also focus is on increasing the value of shareholders over time.
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 40 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 35 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per bottle, and producers receive $6 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine isper bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers isper bottle, and the burden that falls on producers isper bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The amount of the tax for the wine bottle is
= $9 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $3 per bottle
Before the tax, the price per bottle is $7 per bottle
The Tax burden on consumers is
= $9 - $7
= $2 per bottle
And, the tax burden on producers is
= $7 per bottle - $6 per bottle
= $1 per bottle
So, the given statement is false as the impact would remain the same whether it is for producer or consumer
Nike has so far had $30,000,000 in losses at its shoe factory in Vietnam in 2017. The additional revenue that it will earn from producing an additional shoe is $100 while the additional cots incurred for that additional shoe is $99.99. Should Nike continue operations in that factory and produce that additional shoe
Answer: c. Yes, because the marginal revenue from producing the additional shoe is greater than the marginal costs.
Explanation:
When making financial decisions, companies abide by the principle of Sunk Costs. This means that money that has already been spent, should not have any effect on future financial decisions. The $30 million that has been lost already will therefore not be considered.
The only figures now are the additional cost and revenue. The additional revenue is more than the additional cost so this shoe should be produced because it brings in a profit of $0.01.

Annuity due. Reginald is about to lease an apartment for 12 months. The landlord wants him to make the lease payments at the start of the month. The monthly payments are $1 comma 300 per month. The landlord says he will allow Reg to prepay the rent for the entire lease with a discount. The one-time payment due at the beginning of the lease is $14 comma 778 . What is the implied monthly discount rate for the rent? If Reg is earning 1.5 % on his savings monthly, should he pay by month or make the one-time payment?
Answer:
a. The implied monthly discount rate for the rent is 0.843% (10.115%/12)
b. He should pay by month because he will earn 1.5% on his savings and pay 0.843% interest monthly.
Explanation:
a) Monthly payments at the start of the month = $1,300
One-time payment at the beginning of the lease = $14,778
Present Value 14778
Residual Value 0
Lease Term 0 years 12 months
Monthly Payment 1300
Result
Interest/Return Rate 10.115%
Total of 12 Monthly Payments $15,600.00
Total Interest $822.00
If Reg is earning 1.5% on his savings monthly, he will earn $21,957:
Annuity factor for 12 months at 1.5% = 16.89
Total of Reg's savings at the end of 12 months = $21,957 ($1,300 * 16.89)
ales $3,700 Current assets $4,500 Current liabilities $960 Costs 2,400 Fixed assets 5,200 Long-term debt 3,620 Taxable income $1,300 Equity 5,120 Taxes (21%) 273 Total $9,700 Total $9,700 Net income $1,027 Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 60 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year's sales are projected to increase by exactly 30 percent. What is the external financing needed
Answer:
$2,088
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the external financing needed
First step is to calculate the Addition to retained earnings
Sales $4,810
($3700*1.30)
Costs $3,120
($2,400*1.30)
Taxable income $1,690
($4,810-$3,120)
Taxes $355
($1,690*21%)
Net income $1,335
($1,690-$355)
Less:Dividends $801
($1,335*60%)
Addition to retained earnings $534
($1,335-$801)
Second step is to calculate the Total assets
Total assets=$9,700*1.30
Total assets=$12,610
Third step is to calculate the Total equity
Total equity =5,120+Addition to retained earnings
Total equity=5,120+$534
Total equity=$5,654
Fourth step is to calculate Current liabilities
Current liabilities =$960*1.30
Current liabilities=$1,248
Fifth step is to calculate the Total liabilities
Total liabilities=Current liabilities+Long term debt
Total liabilities=$1,248+$3,620
Total liabilities=$4,868
Now let determine the External financing needed
Using this formula
External financing needed=Total assets-(Total equity+Total liabilities)
Let plug in the formula
External financing needed=$12,610-($5,654+$4,868)
External financing needed=$12,610-$10,522
External financing needed=$2,088
Therefore the external financing needed is $2,088
Assume the credit terms offered to your firm by your suppliers are 2.7/5, Net 30. Calculate the cost of the trade credit if your firm does not take the discount and pays on day 30.
Answer: 49.02%
Explanation:
The cost of the trade credit will be calculated thus:
Amount when discount is availed will be: = 100-2.7 = 97.3
Discount rate = 2.7
Interest rate per period = 2.7/97.3 2.77%
Number of Days = 30-5 = 25
Therefore, the EAR will be calculated as:
= [(1+2.77%)^(365/25)] - 1
= 49.02%
Variable $100,000 $ 25,000 Fixed 150,000 75,000 Total $250,000 $100,000 What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method
Answer: $8.00
Explanation:
Details missing in question are:
These costs are for 50,000 units.
$250,000 is manufacturing cost. $100,000 is administrative cost.
The total manufacturing cost is shown to be $250,000 above.
A profit of $50,000 is needed in addition to this cost as well as the administrative cost of $100,000.
Total revenue expected is therefore:
= 250,000 + 100,000 + 50,000
= $400,000
50,000 units are to be sold so to make a revenue of $400,000, each unit should be sold for:
= 400,000 / 50,000
= $8.00
Two people are trying to work out a trade. One person has apples and the
other has pineapples. They check a supermarket and see that apples sell
for $1 each and pineapples sell for $2 each. They agree to trade two
apples for every pineapple.
This situation best illustrates which function of money?
Answer:
Measure of Value
Explanation:
The function of money being illustrated is known as a Measure of Value. This is basically when an item's monetary values are compared when making a trade. In this scenario, both the apples and pineapples are being compared based on their monetary value. Since a single pineapple is worth twice the amount of money that a single apple is worth. Then that means that a fair trade would be two apples for every pineapple which would be a trade of the same amount of monetary value.

Conduct research and create a 5 paragraph essay that explains how consumers can protect themselves from fraudulent and deceptive practices. Information can include: do not call list, reading the fine print, terms and condition, personal information disclosures.
Answer: Reading the fine print: the producer would always make available fine print on their products which distinguishes them from other's, the consumer is expected to take note of that.
Explanation:
Fraudulent practise are being on the increase in business now, as many want to imitate firms and make gains out of their products. The following are what consumers can look out for to help them against this fraudulent practise.
1) Do not call list; the producer would make available how they can be reached and would want the consumer to reach them by such ways.
2) Reading the fine print: the producer would always make available fine print on their products which distinguishes them from other's, the consumer is expected to take note of that.
3) Terms and conditions: although this can be imitated but the producer has a unique way they would do theirs which the consumer should be aware of.
4) Personal information disclosures: when considering services, there will be need for releasing personal information, the customer should verify who they release information to.

Explanation:
Samantha Rose Inc. made a $25,000 sale on account with the following terms: 1/15, n/30. If the company uses the net method to record sales made on credit, how much should be recorded as revenue
Answer:
$24,750
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be recorded is shown below"
Sales on account = $25,000
Credit term = 1/15, n/30
Sales discount rate = 1%
Now
Sales discount = Sales on account × Sales discount rate
= 25,000 × 1%
= $250
So,
Net sales = Sales- Sales discount
= $25,000 - $250
= $24,750
Suppose net exports and net capital outflow are in equilibrium in a small open economy. If foreign governments adopt expansionary fiscal policy, in the small open economy the real exchange rate ____________ and net exports ____________. g
Answer:
the small open economy the real exchange rate DEPRECIATES and net exports INCREASE.
Explanation:
If the government adopts an expansionary monetary policy, then the country's currency will depreciate since a higher interest rate will result in a lower value according to the PPP thoery. When a currency depreciates, the exports become cheaper for foreign countries, so they increase. While the imports become more expensive and they decrease.
Which is the best measure of risk for a single asset held in isolation (Stand Alone Investment), and which is the best measure for an asset held in a diversified portfolio
Answer:
Single asset = Coefficient of VariationPortfolio = BetaExplanation:
When dealing with standalone risk, coefficient of variation is best because it shows the amount by which the asset's returns might deviate from the average returns of the market.
As for portfolio assets that are well diversified, the best measure would be beta because diversified portfolios deal with systematic risk and beta shows the movement of the portfolio in relation to the market and so will show that systematic risk.

If a company selects either of Project 1 or Project 2 (or both), then either Project 3 or Project 4 (or both) must also be selected. Which of the following constraints enforce this condition?
a. X1 + X2 ≤ 2(X3 + X4)
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
c. X1 − X3 = X2 − X4
d. X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 ≤ 2
Answer:
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
Explanation:
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
The situation tells us that the sum of both 1 and 2 must be equal to the sum of 3 and 4 which is true, because if both projects 1& 2 are selected then the both projects 3 & 4 must also be selected.
The rest of the choices are wrong because
a. X1 + X2 ≤ 2(X3 + X4)
The sum of projects 1& 2 is not less than 2 times sum of projects 3 & 4 .
c. X1 − X3 = X2 − X4
If we leave project 3 then project 4 cannot be left out.
d. X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 ≤ 2
any two projects out of the four cannot be chosen. 1 must be chosen from 1&2 and the other from 3 &4.
