It is simply taking advantage of the difference in price that is gotten from buying and reselling this stock at 5dollars.
Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Present Approach Proposed Approach Value-added time 23 min 23 min Non-value-added time 1,582 min 105 min Total lead time 1,605 min 1,605 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) 14 % 21 %
Answer:
Hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part
Answer : value added times : 30 minutes , 30 minutes
non-value added times: 1210 minutes, 130 minutes
Total lead times : 1240 minutes, 160 minutes
value added time as a ratio: 2.4%, 18.8%
Explanation:
Given data:
production batch sizes = 40 units
process step 1 = 6 minutes
process step 2 = 10 minutes
process step 3 = 6 minutes
process step 4 = 8 minutes
Determining : The value added, non-value added , total lead times and value added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches
UNDER PRESENT PRODUCTION APPROACH
Th value added time:
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time:
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + move time between each step
= 30*39+8*5
= 1170 +40 = 1210 minutes
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time
= 30 + 1210 = 1240 minutes
value added time as a percentage/ratio
(value added time / total lead time) * 100
= 30 / 1240 * 100 = 2.4%
UNDER PROPOSED PRODUCTION APPROACH
value added time :
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time :
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + time between each step
= 30*4+2*5 = 120 + 10 = 130 mins
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time = 30 +130 = 160 mins
value added time as a percentage/ratio:
(value added time / total lead time ) * 100
= (30 / 160) * 100 = 18.8%

Calgary Industries is preparing a budgeted income statement for 2018 and has accumulated the following information. Predicted sales for the year are $695,000 and cost of goods sold is 40% of sales. The expected selling expenses are $77,500 and the expected general and administrative expenses are $86,500, which includes $19,500 of depreciation. The company's income tax rate is 30%. The budgeted net income for 2018 is:
Answer:
Calgary Industries
Budgeted Net Income for 2018:
Sales Revenue $695,000
Cost of goods sold $278,000
Gross profit $417,000
Selling expenses $77,500
General and Administrative expenses $67,000
Depreciation $19,500
Budgeted Pre-tax Income $253,000
Income tax rate (30%) 75,900
Budgeted Net Income $177,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimates:
Sales = $695,000
Cost of goods sold = 40% of sales = $695,000 * 40% = $278,000
Selling expenses = $77,500
General and Administrative expenses = $86,500 - $19,500 = $67,000
Depreciation = $19,500
Income tax rate = 30%
b) Calgary Industries' budgeted net income of $177,100 is the result of deducting the operating expenses and income tax from the gross profit. The gross profit of $417,000 is obtained by deducting the cost of goods sold from the Sales Revenue. These profit points explain the economic returns created by the Calgary Industries. They reflect its financial performance during the budgeted period.
As of November 29, it appears that Notel will report earnings per share (EPS) of $1.15 for the quarter ended November 30. Which of the following events would cause this EPS number to decrease, assuming the event occurs the morning of November 30?
A.
The company pays a supplier for inventory bought on account.
B.
The company declares, but does not pay, a cash dividend.
C.
The company purchases 10 shares of common stock in another company.
D.
The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.
Answer: D. The company reissues the treasury stock it holds.
Explanation:
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Net Income by the weighted average number of shares that a company has outstanding. If the company reissues treasury stock, this would increase the number of average stock outstanding thereby increasing the denominator of the EPS equation which would have the effect of reducing the Earnings per share.
For instance, if a company had net income of $50 and common equity outstanding of $40, the EPS would be;
= 50/40
= $1.25
If the company reissues treasury stock of $30, the EPS would change to;
= 50/ (40 +30)
= $0.71
In trial balance, which accounts with normal balance is recorded at the credit side?
IP Company has a preliminary cash balance of $25,000 and an agreement with the bank that it will keep a minimum balance of $20,000. IP Company has a beginning loan balance of $12,000.
The ending loan balance is:________.
Answer: $7,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that IP Company has a preliminary cash balance of $25,000 and an agreement with the bank that it will keep a minimum balance of $20,000 and that IP Company has a beginning loan balance of $12,000.
The ending loan balance will be:
= $20,000 + $12,000 - $25,000
= $32,000 - $25,000
= $7,000
An unfinished desk is produced for $36.00 and sold for $65.00. A finished desk can be sold for $75.00. The additional processing cost to complete the finished desk is $5.95. What is the differential revenue if you process further
Answer:
Differential revenue from further processing = $4.05
Explanation:
A business should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .i.e $36 irrelevant to the decision to process further
The differential revenue if the desk is processed further would be the difference between the additional revenue from further process and the further processing cost.
$
Sales price after the split-off point 75
Sales price at the split-off point 65
Additional sales revenue 10
Further processing cost (5.95)
Differential revenue from further processing 4.05
Differential revenue from further processing = $4.05
The bad faith registration of a domain name that is a registered trademark or trade name of another entity is referred to as:
Answer:
Cybersquatting.
Explanation:
This is explained to be the involvement of a person(especially a domain creator) with registered domains owned by a company, organisation or even a personality that have almost/same keywords that are said to be in existence. This person can be easily tagged as a 'cybersquatter'. Therefore in the other hand cybersquatting can simply means registering a domain name because it corresponds to someone else’s name. The objective of this said squatter is just to sell it to that person for a vast amount of money. This act was seen to be in existence in the early internet ages and were exactly when a lot of these businesses hadn’t woken up to the importance of domain names.
Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,201 and matures in 21 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 7.38 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
the after tax cost of debt is 3.90 %.
Explanation:
The Cost of debt is the rate required on the bond and this is calculated as follows :
PV = - $2,201
n = 21 × 2 = 42
PMT = ($2,000 × 7.38 %) ÷ 2 = $73.80
P/YR = 2
FV = $2,000
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Pre-tax Cost of debt, r is 6.4963% or 6.50 % (2 decimal places)
After tax cost of debt = Interest rate × (1 - tax rate)
= 6.50 % × (1 - 0.40)
= 3.90 %
Hankins, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $5.3 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 3 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .52, a cost of equity of 13.2 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 6.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of 1 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects.Required:a. Calculate the WACC.b. What is the maximum cost the company would be willing to pay for this project?
Answer:
a.
WACC - Company = 10.94%
WACC - Project = 11.94%
b.
The maximum that the company will be willing to pay for this project is $61.0626 million
Explanation:
a.
To calculate the maximum cost that the company will be willing to pay today, we first need to find out the company and project WACC.
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a company's capital structure. It is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
d, p and e represents debt, preferred stock and common equityw represents the weight of each componentr represents the cost of each componentWeightage of debt and equity
Total assets = debt + equity
Total assets = 0.52 + 1 = 1.52
wD = 0.52/1.52
wE = 1/1.52
WACC - Company = 0.52/1.52 * 0.066 + 1/1.52 * 0.132
WACC - Company = 0.1094 or 10.94%
WACC of project is 1% more than WACC of company. So WACC of project is 10.94% + 1% = 11.94%
b.
The maximum that must be paid for this project can be calculated by calculating the present value of the cash flows provided in form of saving by this project.
Using the constant growth model of cash flow approach,
Present value = 5.3 * (1+0.03) / (0.1194 - 0.03)
Present value = $61.0626 million

The price of a stock call option is __________ correlated with the stock price and __________ correlated with the strike price. Group of answer choices negatively; positively not; not negatively; negatively positively; positively positively; negatively
Answer:
The answer is positively correlated with stock price and negatively correlated with strike price
Explanation:
The holder of a call option expects the price of the underlying asset(the stock) to increase for him to exercise the right while he also hopes the price of the strike price(exercise price) will be lower than the stock price. If this happens the holder (long) of the call option gains. So because of this, the price of stock call option is positively correlated with the price of the underlying (stock price) while it is negatively correlated with the strike price(exercise price).
12.The competitive strategy of a firm pursuing a "think global, act local" approach to strategy-making A. entails little or no strategy coordination across countries. B. usually involves cross-subsidizing the prices in those markets where there are significant country-to-country differences in the product attributes that customers are most interested in. C. involves selling a mostly standardized product worldwide, but varying a company's use of distribution channels and marketing approaches to accommodate local market conditions. D. is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions. E. involves having strongly differentiated product versionsfor different countries and selling them under distinctly different brand names (one for each country or group of neighboring countries) so that there will be no doubt in customers' minds that the product is more local than global.
Answer:
D. is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions.
Explanation:
A think global act local is a strategic business approach or concept which is aimed at achieving a low cost, effective cost, efficiency and focused strategy theme in all the locations where the firm has its operations but nonetheless avails local managers the opportunity and ability to adjust product
specifications, distribution and marketing channels to better satisfy local consumers, as well as effectively and efficiently match local market conditions.
Hence, the competitive strategy of a firm pursuing a "think global, act local" approach to strategy-making is essentially the same in all country markets where it competes but it may nonetheless give local managers room to make minor variations where necessary to better satisfy local buyers and to better match local market conditions.
It is always necessary for an agent to disclose the identity of the principal to any third person with whom he is contracting; otherwise the contract becomes void.

Halifax Manufacturing allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 90 days after delivery and receive a credit to their accounts. All of Halifax's sales are for credit (no cash is collected at the time of sale). The company began 2018 with an allowance for sales returns of $400,000. During 2018, Halifax sold merchandise on account for $12,500,000. This merchandise cost Halifax $8,750,000 (70% of selling prices). Also during the year, customers returned $613,000 in sales for credit. Sales returns, estimated to be 5% of sales, are recorded as an adjusting entry at the end of the year. Required: 1. Prepare an entry to record actual merchandise returns as they occur (not adjusting the allowance for sales returns), and then record a year-end entry to adjust the allowance for sales returns to its appropriate balance. 2. What is the amount of the year-end allowance for sales returns after the adjusting entry is recorded?
Answer:
Please refer to the below explanations.
Explanation:
A.
Sales return and allowance a/c Dr $613,000
To accounts receivable A/c Cr $613,000
(Being retuned goods that is recorded)
Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $429,100
($613,000 × 70%)
To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $429,100
(Being cost of goods sold that was recorded)
Estimated return is therefore;
= Sale value of merchandise × return percentage - actual return
= $12,500,000 × 5% - $613,000
= $625,000 - $613,000
= $12,000
B.
Sales return and allowance A/c Dr $12,000
To accounts receivable A/c Cr $12,000
(Being returned goods that were recorded)
Merchandise inventory A/c Dr $8,400
($12,000 × 70%)
To cost of goods sold A/c Cr $8,400
(Being cost of goods sold that were recorded)
Therefore, the computation for the year end allowance for sales return is same as $8,400.
Heather Smith is considering a bond investment in Locklear Airlines. The $1,000 par value bonds have a quoted annual interest rate of 8 percent and the interest is paid semiannually. The yield to maturity on the bonds is 12 percent annual interest. There are 10 years to maturity.Required:Compute the price of the bonds based on semiannual analysis.
Answer:
Price of bond = $770.60
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond for Heather Smith can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payments
Semi annul interest payment
= 8%× 1000 × 1/2 =40
Semi-annual yield = 12/2 = 6% per six months
Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 ×10) = 20 periods
PV of interest =
40 × (1- (1+0.06)^(-20)/0.06) = 458.796
Step 2
PV of Redemption Value
= 1,000 × (1.06)^(-20) = 311.80
Step 3 :Price of bond
= 458.796 + 311.80 = 770.60
Price of bond = $770.60
1. Noor Patel has had a busy year! She decided to take a cross-country adventure. Along the way, she won a new car on "The Price Is Right" (valued at $15,500) and won $500 on a scratch-off lottery ticket (the first time she ever played). She also signed up for a credit card to start the trip and was given a sign-up bonus of $100. How much will she have to include in her federal taxable income?
2A. What is the amount of taxes for a head of house hold with a taxable income of $57,500 with a rate of 25%?
B. What is the amount of taxes for a single person with a taxable income of $35,000 with a rate of 15%?
C. What is the amount of taxes for a married couple filling jointly with a taxable income of $70,700 with a rate of 15%?
Answer:
1. 16,100
Explanation:
To get how much she would include in her federal taxable income. We would have to add up these values:
The car won on the price is right + scratch off lottery + sign up bonus.
15,500 + 500 + 100
=$16,100
2a.
head of household
0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(37650 - 9275)*15% = 4256.1
(57500 - 37650)*25% = 4962.5
total = 927.5 + 4256.1 + 4962.5
= 10146.1
2b
single person
0 to 9275 at 10% = 927.5
(35000-9275)*10% = 3858.75
total = 927.5 + 3858.75
= 4786.25
2c
for married couple
0 to 18550 at 10% = 1855
(70700-1855)*15% = 7822.5
total = 1855 + 7822.5
=9677.5

Which one of the following is true about Section 1231 assets? Section 1231 assets are treated like capital assets when they produce losses on sale Business property held 1 year or less is considered a Section 1231 asset Section 1231 assets include company stock Section 1231 asset losses must be netted against 1231 asset gains before tax treatment is determined All of the above are false
Answer:
Section 1231 asset losses must be netted against 1231 asset gains before tax treatment is determined
Explanation:
Section 1231 property is a term that describes a form of property, defined by section 1231 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. It deals with a real or depreciable business property held for more than one year, such as Land, machines etc.
Section 1231, assets, however, are generally thought to enjoy a tax-favored status because its gains and losses from the sale of a property is taxed at the lower capital gains tax rate compared to the rate for ordinary income.
Hence, in this case, given the options available, it is TRUE that, Section 1231 asset losses must be netted against 1231 asset gains before tax treatment is determined
Pattison Corporation is a service company that measures its output by the number of customers served. The company has provided the following fixed and variable cost estimates that it uses for budgeting purposes. Fixed Element per Month Variable Element per Customer Served Revenue $5,500 Employee salaries and wages $46,300 $1,000 Travel expenses $ 500 Other expenses $32,500 When the company prepared its planning budget at the beginning of May, it assumed that 20 customers would have been served. However, 17 customers were actually served during May. The activity variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
Answer:
Pattison Corporation
Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
$1,500 Favorable
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Fixed Element Variable Element per
per Month Customer Served
Revenue $5,500
Employee salaries
and wages $46,300 $1,000
Travel expenses $ 500
Other expenses $32,500
The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost
= $8,500 - $10,000
= $1,500 Favorable
Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)
= $8,500
Budgeted travel expenses = ($500 x 20)
= $10,000
Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses. The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.
Badger Corporation declared a stock distribution to all shareholders of record on March 25 of this year. Shareholders will receive one share of Badger stock for each 10 shares of stock they already own. Madison Cheesehead owns 1,000 shares of Badger stock with a tax basis of $100 per share. The fair market value of the Badger stock was $110 per share on March 25 of this year.Required:a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009? b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable? c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
Answer:
a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009?
Madison doesn't have to recognize any income because she is not getting any. Only after Madison decides to sell his stocks will he recognize any taxable income if she makes a gain.
b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable?
Madison current basis is $100 per stock, and after the stock dividend it will be $100 / 1.1 = $90.91 per stock
c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
then the cash dividend would be $10 per stock, which results in $10 x 1,000 = $10,000 taxable income. Her basis in the stock will remain not change.
g Builtrite has calculated the average cash flow to be $16,000 with a standard deviation of $4000. What is the probability of a cash flow being greater than $11,000? (Assume a normal distribution.)
Answer:
89.44%
Explanation:
As we know that:
Z = (Cash Flow - Mean) / Standard Deviation
Here
Cash flow is the observed value which is the lower limit here and is $11,000
Mean is the average value of the sample and is $16,000
Standard Deviation is $4,000
By putting values, we have:
Z = ($11,000 - $16,000) / $4,000
= -1.25
The Z value lower than -1.25 is 0.1056 or 10.56%
This means that the probability of cash flow lower than $11,000 is 10.56% and the probability of cash flow greater than $11,000 will be
Probability of cash flow = (1- 0.1056) = 0.8944 which is 89.44%
Chester currently has $17,624 (000) in cash and management has decided to issue stocks and bonds worth an additional $8,000 (000). Assuming that cash from operations will be the same for each of the following activities, which activity exposes this company to the most risk of being issued an emergency loan?
a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equiptment
b) liquidate the new inventory
c) retiring the oldest bond
d) a $5 dividend
Answer: a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment
Explanation:
Of the 4 options listed, liquidating the new inventory would lead to a cash inflow and so is not going to lead to an emergency loan.
Retiring the oldest bond is something that would probably have been budgeted for so it will be less probable to cause Chester to seek emergency funding.
The activity that poses the greatest threat to Chester in terms of loan solicitation would be the purchase of plant and equipment. This would have less chance of being budgeted for and is a significant amount to leave the company which is even larger than the company's current cash amount. It has a higher chance of causing Chester to seek emergency loan funding.
The federal government doesn't have a capital budget; however, private enterprises do have a capital budget and when they invest in productive assets such as machinery it is recorded in their capital budget as an asset. What is one of the explanations why the federal government's investments are not discussed in relation to a capital budget and recorded as an asset like a private enterprise's investments are
Answer:
Hello the options in regards to your question is missing attached below is the complete question
Answer : Private enterprise's investments are in assets that are meant to increase production, which are going to earn revenues and pay for themselves. Thus, private enterprise's spending is unambiguously going towards investments. It is very difficult to determine when the federal government's spending is an investment. ( B )
Explanation:
The federal government's investments are not discussed in relation to a capital budget and recorded as an asset because It is very difficult to determine when the federal government's spending is an investment, because Federal Government is not actually designed to operate as a business entity
ignoring taxes what is the effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives
Answer: C. $40 million.
Explanation:
By granting them 15 million shares subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years, the company is compensating them.
The total amount that they will be compensated with has to be apportioned over the 3 years as an expense that will reduce earnings per year.
Total compensation = No. of shares * fair value of shares
= 15,000,000 * 8

A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,200 and other assets of $7,800. Equity is worth $9,000. The firm has 600 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $760. What will the new earnings per share be if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase?
Answer: $1.46

Excess cash is $1,200.
Using that, the following number shares can be purchases;
= 1,200/15
= 80 shares
New number of shares = 600 - 80
= 520 shares
New EPS
= 760/520
= $1.46

Suppose you work for a company that makes a product line for a large hardware chain. The chain asks you for a price quote for 30,000 units that will require a $1,500,000 investment with marginal costs of $15 per unit. What is the lowest price you are willing to quote
Answer:
$1,950,000
Explanation:
Note the company has a margin per unit cost and investment cost, where
investment cost = $1,500,000
+
margin per unit cost = $450,000 (30,000 x $15)
Thus, total cost = $1,950,000. Since companies do not want to make loses, but may allow for break-even, the lowest price to quote should not be lesser than the total cost of $1,950,000.
