Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total purchase= $109,000

Explanation:

To calculate the budgeted purchases, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Budgeted purchase:

Production= 125,000*0.8= 100,000

Desired ending inventory= 41,500

Beginning inventory= (32,500)

Assume Sheryl Jenkins wants to accumulate $ 13,241.39 in two years. She currently has $ 10,621.36 to invest. What interest rate must she earn on her investment (that is, if she deposits $ 10,621.36 today) to have $ 13,241.39 exactly two years from today?

Answers

Answer: 11.65%

Explanation:

The $13,241.39 is a future value amount as it is what is to be accumulated in 2 years.

Future value formula therefore applies:

Future value = Current value * ( 1 + interest rate) ^ no. of years

13,241.39 = 10,621.36 * ( 1 + i) ²

(1 + i)² = 13,241.39 / 10,621.36

(1 + i)² = 1.24667556697

1 + i = √1.24667556697

i = 1.116546267 - 1

i = 11.65%

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

Answers

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.

If so, the variable cost will increase to $240 per unit, and the fixed costs will rise by 50%. The CEO wishes to increase the company's operating income by 25%. Which sales price level would give the desired results

Answers

Answer:

Fruit Computer Company

The sales price level that would give the desired results is:

= $356 per unit

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable costs per unit = $220

Fixed costs per month = $32,000

Monthly sales units = 500 units

Selling price per unit = $300

                                  Before Change   After Change

Sales revenue                $150,000       $178,000 ($168,000 + $10,000)

Variable costs                   110,000         120,000

Fixed costs                        32,000           48,000

Total costs                     $142,000       $168,000

Operating income            $8,000          $10,000 ($8,000 * 1.25)

The sales price level that would give the desired results is $356 ($178,000/500).  This represents an increase of 18.7% ($56/$300 * 100).

One thousand students graduate from the university and seek jobs in the country, but not one graduate is able to find one. Half of the new graduates believe there is no chance of finding a job and return home to live with their parents. Ceteris Paribus, what would the new unemployment rate be in Economerica?
A. 14.29%
B. 20.00%
C. 25.00%
D. 45.45%

Answers

Answer: B. 20.00%

Explanation:

Unemployment rate does not include those who have given up on finding a job.

Unemployment rate = Unemployed people / Labor force

Unemployed people:

= Original unemployed + half the new graduates

= 1,000 + (1,000 / 2)

= 1,500 people

Labor force:

= Unemployed + employed people

= 1,500 + 6,000

= 7,500 people

Unemployment rate:

= 1,500 / 7,500

= 20%

Milltown Company specializes in selling used cars. During the month, the dealership sold 32 cars at an average price of $16,000 each. The budget for the month was to sell 30 cars at an average price of $17,000. Compute the dealership's sales price variance for the month.

Answers

Answer:

-$32,000

Explanation:

The sales price variance is a measure used determine the difference between an entity's expected price of a product or service and its actual sales price. It may be favorable or unfavourable to the company and may be calculated as

Sales price variance =  Actual quantity sold * (actual selling price - budgeted selling price)

Hence given that  the dealership sold 32 cars at an average price of $16,000 each while the budget was to sell 30 cars at an average price of $17,000,

Sales price variance = 32 ($16,000 - $17,000)

= -$32,000

The minus indicates unfavourable sales price variance

5. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the last task performed at the second workstation in the balance which uses the minimum number of workstations?

A. u

B. v

C. w

D. x

E. y

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

1. Without regard to demand, what is the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation?

The minimum cycle time is equal to the maximum task time. From the data in the question, it can be seen that the maximum task time is 54. Therefore, the correct option is C. 54. That is, the minimum possible cycle time (in seconds) for this situation is 54.

2. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the desired cycle time (in seconds)?

Desired cycle time (in seconds) = Demand rate / Number of hours per days = 480 / 8 = 60

Therefore, the correct option is E. 60.

3. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the minimum number of workstations needed?

Total task time = 30 + 30 + 6 + 12 + 54 + 30 = 162

Minimum possible cycle time = 54

Therefore, we have:

Minimum number of workstations needed = Total task time / Minimum possible cycle time = 162 / 54 = 3

Therefore, the correct option is A. 3.

4. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what would be the efficiency of this line with the minimum number of workstations?

Line efficiency = Total task time / (Minimum number of workstations needed * Desired cycle time) = 162 / (3 * 60) = 162 / 180 = 0.90, or 90%

Therefore, the correct option is E. 90%.

5. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the last task performed at the second workstation in the balance which uses the minimum number of workstations?

The last task should be the one has the longest task time. From the data table in the question, it can be observed that y is the task that has the longest task time. This implies y is the task to perform last.

Therefore, the correct option is E. y.

Synovec Company is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 30 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 10 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.65, what is the current share price

Answers

Answer:

$87.03

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the current share price

First step is to calculate p1

p1= $2.65(1+.30)^3(1+.04) / (.10 - .04)

p1= $2.65(1.30)^3(1.04) / (.10 - .04)

p1=6.054932/.06

p1=100.92

Now let calculate the Current price

p0= [$2.65(1.30) / 1.10] +[$2.65(1.30)^2 / 1.10^2] + [$2.65(1.30)^3 / 1.10^3] + [$100.92/ 1.10^3]

p0=3.1318+4.4782/1.21+5.82205/1.331+$100.92/1.331+

p0=3.1318+3.700992+4.37419+75.82

p0=$87.03

Therefore the current share price is $87.03
