Steven White is planning to save up for a trip to Europe in three years. He will need $8,100 when he is ready to make the trip. He plans to invest the same amount at the end of each of the next three years in an account paying 5 percent. What is the amount that he will have to save every year to reach his goal of $8,100 in three years
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,560.39
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $8,100
Number of periods= 3 years
Interest rate= 5%
To calculate the annual deposit (annual saving), we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (8,100*0.05) / [(1.05^3) - 1]
A= $2,560.39

Quickbrush Paint Company is developing a linear program to determine the optimal quantities of ingredient A and ingredient B to blend together to make oil-base and water-base paint. The oil-base paint contains 90 percent A and 10 percent B, whereas the water-base paint contains 30 percent A and 70 percent B. Quickbrush currently has 10,000 gallons of ingredient A and 5,000 gallons of ingredient B in inventory and cannot obtain more at this time. Assuming that x represents the number of gallons of oil-base paint, and y represents the gallons of water-base paint, which constraint is correctly represents the constraint on ingredient A?
A. .9x + .3y ≤ 10,000
B. .9A + .1B ≤ 10,000
C. .9x + .1y ≤ 10,000
D. .3x + .7y ≤ 10,000
Answer:
A. 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000
Explanation:
Given
[tex]x \to[/tex] oil based plant
[tex]y \to[/tex] water based plant
The data can be represented in tabular form as:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {A} & {B} & {x} & {90\%} & {10\%} & {y} & {30\%} & {70\%} & {} & {10000} & {5000}\ \end{array}[/tex]
Considering only A, we have the following constraints:
[tex]A \to 90\% * x + 30\% * y[/tex]
[tex]A \to 0.9x + 0.3y[/tex]
Since the company currently has 10000 of A.
The above constraint implies that, the mixture cannot exceed 10000.
So, we have:
[tex]A \to 0.9x + 0.3y \le 10000[/tex]
Hence, (A) is correct
Financial statement data for years ending December 31 for Tango Company follow: 20Y7 20Y6 Cost of goods sold $3,894,185 $4,002,225 Inventories: Beginning of year 795,700 773,800 End of year 861,400 795,700 Required a. Determine the inventory turnover for 20Y7 and 20Y6. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
A. 20Y7 Inventory Turnover 4.7
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=5.1
B. 20Y7 77.66 days
20Y6 71.57 days
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the inventory turnover for 20Y7 and 20Y6
Using this formula
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average inventory
Let plug in the formula
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/[(795,700+861,400)/2]
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/($1,657,100/2)
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=$3,894,185/828,550
20Y7 Inventory Turnover=4.7
20Y6 Inventory Turnover= $4,002,225/(773,800+795,700)/2]
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=$4,002,225/(1,569,500/2)
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=$4,002,225/784,750
20Y6 Inventory Turnover=5.1
B. Calculation to determine the number of days' sales in inventory for 20Y7 and 20Y6
Days in inventory = 365/Inventory Turnover
20Y7 Days in inventory=365/4.7=77.66 days
20Y6 Days in inventory=365/5.1=71.57 days
gThe following data are available for Martin Solutions, Inc. Year 2 Year 1 Sales $1,139,600 $1,192,320 Beginning inventory 80,000 64,000 Cost of goods sold 500,800 606,000 Ending inventory 72,000 80,000 Required: Assume a 365-day year. Determine for each year:
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For Year 1
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)÷ 2
= ($64,000 + $80,000) ÷ 2
= $72,000
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $606,000 ÷ 72,000
= 8.4 times
Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 8.4
= 43.5 days
For Year 2
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) ÷ 2
= ($80,000 + $72,000) ÷ 2
= $76,000
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
= $500,800 ÷ 76,000
= 6.6 times
Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 6.6
= 55.3 days

Market risk premium is defined as the difference between the market rate of return and the return on risk-free Treasury bills.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Risk management can be defined as the process of identifying, evaluating, analyzing and controlling potential threats or risks present in a business as an obstacle to its capital, revenues and profits. This ultimately implies that, risk management involves prioritizing course of action or potential threats in order to mitigate the risk that are likely to arise from such business decisions.
In Financial accounting, one of the core risks any depository financial institution such as commercial banks must report and hold capital against is a market risk. Also, the other three (3) core risks banks are required to report and hold capital against are liquidity risk, operational risk and credit risk.
Market risk premium can be defined as a measure of the difference between a market rate of return on a market portfolio and the return on a risk-free investment such as government bonds (Treasury bills) or interest rate. A market risk premium is also referred to as the risk premium of a market portfolio.
Hence, the investors are the one who are expected or required to compensate for the opportunity cost and the risk associated with it.
Additionally, the market risk premium in financial accounting is equal to the slope of the security market line (SML), which is typically a graphical representation of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).
Chelsea’s manager sent her an email asking to meet, for an unspecified reason, the following Friday. Upon reading this email, Chelsea remembered a situation six months prior when her manager sent such as email to another team member. During that meeting, the team member was laid off from the organization. Based on this recollection, Chelsea is extremely worried about the upcoming meeting with her boss. Which type of bias is being represented? Multiple Choice representative bias recency bias overconfidence Bias framing bias confirmation bias
Answer: Representative bias
Explanation:
Representative bias occurs when two decisions are wrongly compared by a decision maker due to the fact that there's a perceived similarity between the cases.
Regarding the question, since a similar situation led to the laying off of an employee, Chelsea is already worried that she'll be laid off as well even though this may not be the case. In such cases, due to the similarity, this confuses people's thinking.
When the similarity of objects or events confuses people’s thinking about the possibility of an outcome, it is called representative bias. Thus, Option A. is the correct answer.
What is representative bias?Representative bias occurs when two decisions are incorrectly compared to the decision-maker because there are obvious similarities between the cases.
In terms of the question, as the same situation has led to the dismissal of the employee, Chelsea is already worried that he too will be retrenched even though this does not happen.
In such cases, because of similarities in the two events, this confuses people's thinking and lets them assume a particular situation.
Thus, Option A. Representative Bias is the correct answer.

Even though drive-in restaurants were already popular in America in the 1950’s, they were not as successful as the fast food restaurant owned by the MacDonald brothers. List three reasons for this lack of success.
Answer:
1- There was no standardization strategy for hamburgers that would maintain the same quality for all orders.
2- There were not enough employees and properly trained to meet the demand of orders.
3- There was no well-defined business model that could expand to become a franchise.
McDonalds's restaurant revolutionized the business world by adopting the standardization of its snacks, which made the business more structured, in a model that, through innovative sandwich assembly devices, made them more standardized, and accelerated the assembly and waiting time for the order .
The division of the processes of assembling snacks and milkshakes into simple and repetitive tasks led to the creation of a production line for the fast-food restaurant in a totally innovative way, which made it possible to meet demand, more quickly and reduce costs. and waste, which made it possible to sell its business model to other locations and then create a profitable franchise that is a successful model to this day.
The three key causes or the reasons that have resulted in this deficiency in the success of drive-in restaurants would be:
1). Inefficiency.
2). Bobbling of orders.
3). Lack of employees.
The main reason for the failure or lagging behind of the drive-in restaurants was their incompetency in managing the demands effectively and efficiently. Despite the number of orders made by people were high initially but the confusion and mismanagement of the orders raised consumer dissatisfaction and they switched to MacDonalds which offered better services. Lastly, the lesser number of employees add fuel to the fire by not providing the required service in terms of management led the popularity to fall.

35. The three all-encompassing internal resource categories used in the resource-based view are physical resources, human resources, and ___________________
Answer:
Organizational resources.
Explanation:
A resource-based view can be defined as a managerial framework or model that is typically used by an organization to examine and determine the fundamental resources that it can use or exploit in order to achieve competitive advantage that is sustainable over a period of time.
The three (3) all-encompassing internal resource categories used by many businesses in the resource-based view are physical resources, human resources, and organizational resources.
Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.
This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.

An export subsidy will ________ producer surplus, ________ consumer surplus, ________ government revenue, and ________ overall domestic national welfare.
Answer:
increase; decrease; decrease; decrease.
Explanation:
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
Basically, trade can be categorized into two (2) main groups and these are;
I. Import: this involves bringing in goods from a foreign country to sell in a different (domestic) country.
II. Export: it involves the sales of goods produced in a domestic country to a foreign country.
An export subsidy can be defined as any government policy that encourages the export of goods to other countries while discouraging the sales of goods in the domestic market through the use of tax reliefs, low cost loans, government foreign adverts, etc.
A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.
Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.
Consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.
Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus, decrease consumer surplus, decrease government revenue, and decrease overall domestic national welfare.

Suppose that there is no third-party payer in the medical care market in Uganda in 1955. Suppose that in 1960, health insurance companies begin operations in Uganda. All else being equal, what does supply and demand analysis predict will happen in the medical care market in 1960
Answer: b. Total expenditures will increase
Explanation:
Medical insurance reduces the amount that people have to pay to get health related services. Ugandans from the year 1960 can be expected to pay less for medical services as a result.
If people are able to pay less for a good or service, the normal thing that they would do would be to demand more of that good and service because it is more affordable. Total expenditure in the medical field will increase as a result.
Your firm has net income of $259 on total sales of $1,100. Costs are $620 and depreciation is $110. The tax rate is 30 percent. The firm does not have interest expenses. What is the operating cash flow

Allison's has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,100 and other assets of $12,400. Equity is worth $13,500. The firm has 2,500 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $10,800. What will be the new earnings per share if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase
Answer: $4.70
Explanation:
The new earnings per share will be calculated thus:
Total Earnings = $10,800
Outstanding Shares = 2,500
Equity = $13,500
Per Share Value:
= Equity / Outstanding shares
= $13,500/2,500
= $5.4 per share
The number of shares that' will be bought by the excess cahs will be:
= 1100/5.4
= 203.70 shares
Number of shares outstanding after buyback will be:
= 2,500 - 203.70
= 2296.30
Earnings per share will then be:
= 10,800/2,296.30
= $4.70
