The net asset value of shares in a closed-end investment company is $36. An investor buys the shares for $34 in the secondary market. The company distributes $1 and after one year, the net asset rises to $42. The investor sells the shares for $43 in the secondary market. What is the percentage return on the investment
Answer:
Closed-End Investment Company
The percentage return on the investment is:
= = 29.41%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net asset value of share = $36
Price paid by an investor = $34
Dividend distributed = $1
Net asset value after one year = $42
Selling price in the secondary market by the investor = $43
Total amount realized by the investor = $44 ($43 + $1)
Cost of investment = $34
Dollar return on the investment = $10 ($44 - $34)
Percentage return on the investment = Return on investment/Cost of investment * 100
= $10/$34 * 100
= 29.41%

Scenario 34-1. Take the following information as given for a small, imaginary economy: When income is $10,000, consumption spending is $6,500. When income is $11,000, consumption spending is $7,250. Refer to Scenario 34-1. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is
Answer:
0.75
Explanation:
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is the change in consumption due to change in income
Change in consumption = $7,250 - $6,500 = $750
Change in income = $11,000 - $10,000 = $1,000
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
MPC = 750 / 100
MPC = 0.75

The manager of Quick Car Inspection reviewed the monthly operating costs for the past year. The costs ranged from $4,400 for 1,400 inspections to $4,200 for 1,000 inspections. Please use the high-low method to calculate the variable cost per inspection.
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per inspection
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The costs ranged from $4,400 for 1,400 inspections to $4,200 for 1,000 inspections.
To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,400 - 4,200) / (1,400 - 1,000)
Variable cost per unit= $0.5 per inspection
At the beginning of the year, Crane Company estimates annual overhead costs to be $2400000 and that 400000 machine hours will be operated. Using machine hours as a base, the amount of overhead applied during the year if actual machine hours for the year was 375000 hours is
Answer:
the amount of overhead applied during the year is $2,250,000
Explanation:
The computation of the overhead applied is shown below;
= Estimated annual overhead ÷ machine hours × actual machine hours
= $2,400,000 ÷ 400,000 machine hours × 375,000 hours
= $2,250,000
hence, the amount of overhead applied during the year is $2,250,000

Pinacle Corp. budgeted $242,600 of overhead cost for the current year. Actual overhead costs for the year were $204,330. Pinacle's plantwide allocation base, machine hours, was budgeted at 51,060 hours. Actual machine hours were 56,680. A total of 102,310 units was budgeted to be produced and 98,000 units were actually produced. Pinacle's plantwide factory overhead rate for the current year is: a.$4.00 per machine hour b.$4.75 per machine hour c.$2.00 per machine hour d.$2.37 per machine hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $4.75 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Pinacle Corp. budgeted $242,600 of overhead cost for the current year.
Estimated machine hours= 51,060 hours
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 242,600 / 51,060
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $4.75 per machine hour
Which of the following statements about striving to reduce labor costs per pair produced at each of the company's plants is true?
a. A company cannot achieve labor costs per pair produced that are close to the lowest in the industry (in those geographic regions where it has plants) unless its annual total compensation of plant workers is below the average annual total compensation paid by all companies with plants in these same regions.
b. All companies, regardless of the strategy being employed, should pursue actions to manage employee compensation and labor productivity in a manner that results in labor costs per pair produced that are equal to (or very close to) the industry-low in each region where the company has plants.
c. It is very difficult for a company producing branded footwear with a high S/Q rating to achieve labor costs per pair produced that are below the industry average in each geographic region where the company has plants.
d. A company pursuing a low-cost provider strategy is better able to pursue actions aimed at achieving low labor costs per pair produced in each of its plants (as compared to the labor costs of companies with plants in the same regions) than is a company pursuing a differentiation strategy.
e. It is more cost effective for a company to compensate plant workers at levels that are close to the highest in the industry in each geographic region where it has plants than it is for a company to pursue actions to keep labor costs per pair produced below the industry average in each geographic region where it has plants.
Answer:
b. All companies, regardless of the strategy being employed, should pursue actions to manage employee compensation and labor productivity in a manner that results in labor costs per pair produced that are equal to (or very close to) the industry-low in each region where the company has plants.
Explanation:
The less labor cost of production per pair could be attained in following two ways
1. The productivity level is icnreased
2. The compensation should be managed and it provides the combination of both fixed and variable. Also it pays the high compensation but at the more productivity rate due to which the labor cost per pair would fall
So as per the given situation, the option b is correct
g When a court awards custody of a child to one parent and not the other, this is an example of: Group of answer choices all of the answers are correct monetary relief monetary damages equitable relief
Answer:
equitable relief
Explanation:
A court refers to an enclosed space such as a hall or chamber where legal practitioners (judges, lawyers or attorneys and a jury) converge to hold judicial proceedings.
A lawyer refers to an individual who has obtained a law degree and is saddled with the responsibility of giving legal advice, initiate and execute lawsuits for his or her clients. These legal practitioners are saddled with the legal responsibility of listening to evidence and give a verdict about legal cases.
An equitable relief also referred to as equitable remedy can be defined as judicial remedies granted to an aggrieved person by a court of equity, requiring that the other party act or refrain from indulging in a specific act because ordinary legal remedies couldn't provide the aggrieved party sufficient (adequate) restitution for an offense commited against him or her. Thus, an equitable relief (remedy) is an injunction granted by a court of equity requiring a party to a contract to either act (mandamus or specific performance) or refrain from indulging in a particular act.
In this context, when a court of competent jurisdiction awards or grants custody of a child to one parent rather than awarding it to the other, this is an example of equitable relief.
In conclusion, an equitable relief or remedy is typically a nonmonetary judgement granted by a court of equity when ordinary legal remedies fail to provide sufficient (adequate) restitution to an aggrieved party.
The following labor standards have been established for a particular product: Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours Standard labor rate $ 17.70 per hour The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 6,200 hours Actual total labor cost $ 110,360 Actual output 1,300 units Required: a. What is the labor rate variance for the month? b. What is the labor efficiency variance for the month?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (17.7 - 17.8)*6,200
Direct labor rate variance= $620 unfavorable
Actual rate= 110,360/6,200= $17.8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,300*4.4 - 6,200)*17.7
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $8,496 unfavorable

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

In a continuous review inventory system, the lead time for door knobs is weeks. The standard deviation of demand during the lead time is units. The desired cycle-service level is percent. The supplier of door knobs streamlined its operations and now quotes a 1 week lead time. Refer to the standard normal tableLOADING... for z-values. How much can the safety stock be reduced without reducing the percent cycle-service level? The safety stock can be reduced by nothing door knobs. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
The answer is "116 doorknobs".
Explanation:
The standard deviation of the demand before the (four weeks) protection intervals = [tex]\sigma-d \times (\sqrt{L}) = 100 \ units\\[/tex]
The desired cycle service level is [tex]99\%[/tex].Therefore, [tex]z = 2.33[/tex]
The safety stocks for the four-weeks protecting interval are:
Safety stock [tex]= z\times [ \sigma-d \times (\sqrt{L})][/tex]
[tex]= 2.33 \times 100 \\\\= 233\ door\ knobs[/tex]
The safety stocks require for the one-week protection interval are: [tex]\sigma-dLT = \sigma-dt \times (\sqrt{L}) = \sigma-dt \times (\sqrt{4}) = 100\ door\ knobs\\\\\sigma-d = \frac{100}{(\sqrt{4})} = \frac{100}{2} = 50 \ door\ knobs\\\\[/tex]
Safety stock [tex]= z\times \sigma-dt = 2.33 \times 50 = 116.5 \ or\ 117 \ door\ knobs\\\\[/tex]
Safety stock reduction[tex]= 233 -117 = 116 \ door\ knobs[/tex]

Suzette's Fancy Packaging subcontracts with Sunshineland Pecans to box dried fruit and nuts for Suzette's mail order business. Suzette rents space for her factory for $400 a week in a nearby strip mall. She can hire temporary workers for $200 a week. Table 11-5 above shows her output and cost data. Use the table to answer questions a-e.
a. Complete the table.
b. In the last week of summer Suzette closes her business to go on a family vacation. What are her costs during that week?
c. In one week Suzette exactly breaks even. If her revenue for the week is $1,200, how many boxes of fruit and nuts did she produce?
d. Judging from the marginal product of labor data, would you say that Suzette had to settle for increasingly unproductive workers? Explain your answer.
e. Suzette has received an order for 1,500 boxes of nuts per week for the next 3 months. If she expects the trend in the marginal product of labor will continue in the same direction, what do you think she should do? Should she not commit until she can move to a larger space or should she just hire more workers? Explain your answer.

b. The costs during the week of summer vacation are: $400
c. She produced 840 boxes.
d. Yes. Suzette settled for increasingly unproductive workers as the marginal product of labor continued to decline. The cost of paying the workers remained at a flat rate of $200 per week without the corresponding output to show for the labor cost.
e. Suzette will need to hire more workers. However, their average productivity needs to be improved greatly to limit the total labor costs.

Answer:
Wolfe Company
The amount of:
LIFO FIFO Weighted Average
Ending inventory $50,500 $65,100 $58,005
Cost of goods sold $113,200 $98,600 $105,698
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Transaction Number of units Unit Cost Cost Value
1/1 Beginning inventory 2,000 $22.00 $44,000
4/12 Purchase No. 1 2,300 $26.00 59,800
7/11 Purchase No. 2 800 $28.00 22,400
10/5 Purchase No. 3 1,250 $30.00 37,500
Total inventory available 6,350 $163,700
Wolfe sold 4,100
Ending Inventory 2,250
LIFO
Ending Inventory = $50,500 (250 * $26 + 2,000 * $22)
Cost of goods sold:
4/12 Purchase No. 1 2,050 $26.00 53,300
7/11 Purchase No. 2 800 $28.00 22,400
10/5 Purchase No. 3 1,250 $30.00 37,500
Total cost of goods sold = 4,100 $113,200
FIFO:
Ending Inventory = Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold
= $65,100 ($163,700 - $98,600)
Cost of goods sold:
1/1 Beginning inventory 2,000 $22.00 $44,000
4/12 Purchase No. 1 2,100 $26.00 54,600
Total cost of goods sold = $98,600
Weighted average:
Weighted average cost = $25.78 ($163,700/6,350)
Ending inventory = $58,005 (2,250 * $25.78)
Cost of goods sold = $105,698 (4,100 * $25.78)

You are an investment manager and one of your clients is a famous soccer player. She is promised to be paid $5million three years from now. What is the present value of this cash flow today
Answer:
$4,153,268.86
Explanation:
The below is missing from the question:
Your discount rate for real cash flows is 5% APR, compounded monthly and you are expecting inflation of 1.2% per year (APR, annual compounding).
We need to convert the real interest rate to an effective annual rate as shown thus:
EAR=(1+APR/n)^n-1
APR=5%
number of times interest is compounded annually=12
EAR=(1+5%/12)^12-1
EAR=5.12%
Nominal Discount rate = [(1+ Real Discount rate)*(1+Inflation Rate)] - 1
Nominal Discount rate =(1+5.12%)*(1+1.2%)-1
Nominal discount rate=6.38%
Present value=future value/(1+nominal discount rate)^3
future value=$5,000,0000
nominal discount rate=6.38%
n=3 years
PV=$5,000,000/(1+6.38%)^3
PV= $4,153,268.86
