The following data represents number of customers arriving at Quick Lube for an oil change between 9 and 11 AM over the past 6 days.
Day 1 2 3 4 5 6
Customers 34 33 35 36 36 37
Required:
Using the Naive Method, how many customers would you forecast for Day 7?
Answer:
37
Explanation:
The naïve technique of forecasting is a simple forecasting technique that is used among time series data. in this type of forecasting, we use the actual figure in the last period to make a forecast for the next period that follows it.
In this question, the last day is day 6, and the number of customer on this day is 37. With the explanation in the paragraph above, the forecast for day 7 is still going to be 37 customers, given that day 7 follows day 6, which was the last period.
Bethany needs to borrow $10,000. She can borrow the money at 6% simple interest for 5 yr or she can borrow at 5% with interest compounded continuously for 5 yr.
a. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 6% simple interest?
b. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 5% interest compounded continuously?
c. Which option results in less total interest?
Answer:
a. $3000
b. 2840.25
c. compounded continuously
Explanation:
a. principal amount, p = $10000
Interest rate in the case of simple interest = 6%
Time, t = 5 years
Interest amount = Prt
Interest amount = 10000 x 6% x 5 = $3000
b. principal amount, p = $10000
Interest rate, r = 5%
Time, t = 5 years
Interest amount = Pe^(rt) - P
Interest amount = 10000 (2.71)^(5% x 5) - 10000
Interest amount = 2840.25
c. Compounded continuously has a lower interest amount.
Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $19 per unit and whose variable expense is $15 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $12,000. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $19
Unitary variable cost= $15
Fixed costs= $12,000
To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 12,000 / 4
Break-even point in units= 3,000
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 12,000 / (4/19)
Break-even point (dollars)= $57,000
Now, the fixed costs are $12,600:
Break-even point in units= 12,600 / 4
Break-even point in units= 3,150
Break-even point (dollars)= 12,600 / (4/19)
Break-even point (dollars)= $59,850
Below are amounts (in millions) from three companies' annual reports. Beginning Accounts Receivable Ending Accounts Receivable Net Sales WalCo $ 1,625 $ 2,572 $ 303,427 TarMart 5,216 5,744 48,878 CostGet 439 475 49,963 Required: 1. Calculate the receivables turnover ratio and the average collection period for WalCo, TarMart and CostGet
Answer:
1. Accounts Receivable Turnover
Walco 144.59 Times
Tarmart 8.9 Times
Costget 109.33 Times
Average collection period
Walco 2.52 Days
Tarmart 41.01 Days
Costget 3.34 Days
2. Walco
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the receivables turnover ratio and the average collection period for WalCo, TarMart and CostGet
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TURNOVER
Using this formula
Accounts Receivable Turnover=Net Sales/Average Accounts receivable
Walco=$ 303,427/($ 1,625+2,572)/2
Walco=$ 303,427/$2,098.5
Walco =144.59 Times
Tarmart= 48,878/(5,216 + 5744)/2
Tarmart= 48,878/5480
Tarmart= 8.9 Times
Costget= 49,963/(439 + 475)/2
Costget= 49,963/457
Costget= 109.33 Times
Therefore the receivables turnover ratio is :
Walco 144.59 Times
Tarmart 8.9 Times
Costget 109.33 Times
AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD
Using this formula
Average collection period=Average Collection Period
365 /Receivables turnover ratio
Let plug in the formula
Walco= 365.00/144.59 Walco=2.52 Days
Tarmart= 365.00/8.9
Tarmart= 41.01 Days
Costget= 365.00/109.33
Costget=3.34 Days
2. Based on the above calculation the company that appears MOST EFFICIENT in collecting cash from sales is WALCO 144.59 Times.

Explanation:
I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 10%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Value of a perpetuality = cash flow / r
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
4 + 0 (10 - 4) = 4
1,000/ 0.04 = 25,000
4 + 1 (10 - 4) = 10
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
25,000 - 10,000 = 15,000
McBride's Dairy has 200 gallons of heavy cream and 600 gallons of skimmed milk and has incurred $1,000 of joint costs at the split-off point. It can sell each product at the split-off point or process it further in relatively similar processes, so management has decided that the most appropriate method for allocating joint costs is the market value at split-off point. One gallon of cream sells for $15, while one gallon of milk sells for $4. How much of the joint cost is allocated to cream
Answer:
$560
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much of the joint cost is allocated to cream
Units Selling price Sales value Percentage of sales value Allocated cost
Cream (200*15=3,000) (3,000/5,400 = 56%)
(1,000 x 56% = $560)
Skimmed milk (600*4=2,400) (2,400/5,400 = 44%) (1,000 x 44% = $440)
Total $5,400 100% $1,000
($3,000+$2,400=$5,400)
(56%+44%=100%)
($560+$440=$1,00)
Therefore the joint cost allocated to CREAM is $560
A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $9.51 growing at 1.75%. The discount rate is 9.14%. What should be the current stock price
Answer:
PV= $84.56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $9.51 growing at 1.75%. The discount rate is 9.14%.
First, we need to calculate the value of the stock in five years:
PV5 = D1 / (i - g)
PV5= (9.51*1.0175) / (0.0914 - 0.0175)
PV5=$130.94
Now, the value today of the stock:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 130.94 / (1.0914^5)
PV= $84.56
Expando, Inc., is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $7 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $9 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $14 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $8 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $9 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $13 million. In either case, the probability of demand being high is .30, and the probability of it being low is .70. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because the current factories cannot produce these new products.

Answer:
South Charleston Plant of Ravinia, Inc.
1. Cost behavior formula:
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0q
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20q
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)
2. Cost of each item for an activity output level of 8,000 moves:
Forklift depreciation = $1,600
Indirect labor = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $5,680
3. Total cost formula = $48,150 + $6.47q
Materials handling cost = $99,880
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Resource Number of Moves Total Cost
Forklift depreciation:
Low 5,000 $1,600
High 15,000 1,600
Indirect labor:
Low 5,000 $74,000
High 15,000 136,000
Fuel and oil for forklift:
Low 5,000 $3,550
High 15,000 10,650
Cost behavior formula for each resource:
Forklift depreciation:
Low 5,000 $1,600
High 15,000 1,600
Difference 10,000 $0
Variable cost per unit = $0 ($0/10,000)
Fixed cost = $1,600
Cost behavior formula = $1,600 + $0q
Indirect labor:
Low 5,000 $74,000
High 15,000 136,000
Difference 10,000 62,000
Variable cost per unit = $6.20 ($62,000/10,000)
Fixed cost = $43,000 ($74,000 - ($6.20*5,000))
Cost behavior formula = $43,000 + $6.20q
Fuel and oil for forklift:
Low 5,000 $3,550
High 15,000 10,650

Cost behavior formula = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680
Total cost formula: Fixed + Variable
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680

Suppose a chair manufacturer finds that the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of capital for labor in her production process is substantially than the ratio of the wage rate for assembly-line labor (w) to the rental rate on machinery (r). How should she alter her use of labor and capital to minimize the cost of production? Holding output constant, the chair manufacturer should use ▼ less more labor and ▼ more less capital.
Answer:
The chair manufacturer should use less labor and more capital.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete because the important word less is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Suppose a chair manufacturer finds that the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of capital for labor in her production process is substantially less than the ratio of the wage rate for assembly-line labor (w) to the rental rate on machinery (r). How should she alter her use of labor and capital to minimize the cost of production? Holding output constant, the chair manufacturer should use [less/more] labor and [more/less] capital.
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRST) is the amount by which the quantity of one input must be reduced when one more unit of another input is used to keep output constant.
In order to minimize cost of production while holding output constant, when the MRTS of capital for labor is substantially greater than the ratio of w to r, it implies that less capital and more labor should be used; but when the MRTS of capital for labor is substantially less than the ratio of w to r, it implies that more capital and less labor should be used.
Based on the above explanation, the chair manufacturer should use less labor and more capital.

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price
When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping
2. Negative correlation : it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases.
For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price
When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping
3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables

Trevor is saving for a down payment to buy a house. The account earns 11.2% interest compounded monthly, and he wants to have $14,000 in 7 years. What must his principal be
Answer:
the principal amount is $6,415.35
