Answer:

The main economic benefit that debt rescheduling has for developing countries is that it changes principal and interest payments to more favorable conditions.

This means that after the reschedule, developing countries will have to put less resources into the payments of public debt, which allows them to have more resources available for other public investments like education, healthcare, and infraestructure.

Answer: D. 15%

Explanation:

Beta is given as 1.6 but is calculable by the formula;

Beta = Correlation Coefficient of stock with market returns * [tex]\frac{Standard Deviation of stock returns}{Standard Deviation of market returns}[/tex]

1.6 = 0.8 * 30%/Sdm

30% /Sdm = 1.6/0.8

30% / Sdm = 2

Sdm * 2 =30%

Sdm = 30%/2

Sdm = 15%

Explanation:

a. What were some good and/or poor examples of communication?

Intercultural communication in the workplace can generate some significant difficulties, in an intercultural work team, there may be behaviors of certain members that differ from the rest of the group, which can mean lack of integration of the team due to lack of respect and interest to the cultural values ​​of a particular member.

b. Discuss any examples or interpretation of cultural differences as described in Hoftstede's Cultural Values chart on p. 46 of your text (i.e. individualism, time orientation, formality, etc.).

Formality can be interpreted differently according to different cultures. In a more flexible culture like the American one, for example, formality may not be so expressed through the use of formal language and dress, whereas in a less flexible culture, this can be seen as a disrespect, as they can establish a more serious and formal communication in the workplace.

c. Is there anything that could have been done to make the communication more effective?

To make intercultural communication more effective, it is necessary above all to respect the individual values ​​of an individual that exist in certain ways in some situations. The ideal is that people are open to learn and exchange experiences, willing to help the individual to integrate into the group, and above all to act in an ethical and respectful way always.

Cash flow from investing activities includes all the investments in the long term assets and sale of investments or individual assets. The investment items may include Property, Plant and Equipment.

So this means that it will not be included in the Cash from Operating Activities because it is a Cash from Investing Activities.

Answer:

The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A flexible budget is a budget in which you modify the activity levels to reflect changes in sales to help the company adjusts to different circumstances that may occcur. Also, in this budget the fixed costs remain constant and the variable costs change with the activity levels. According to this, the answer is that the statement that says that a flexible budget reporting sales volumes at three different levels will have the same fixed costs is true.

It is true that a flexible budget presenting sales volumes at three levels would have the same fixed expenses.

A flexible budget is one in which activity levels are adjusted to reflect sales performance, allowing the organization to respond to unforeseen events.

Furthermore, in this budget, fixed expenditures stay constant while variable costs vary according to activity levels. The assumption that a flexible budget reporting sales volumes at three distinct levels will have the same fixed expenses.

Answer:

17.69 years

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the number of periods of time is:

n=ln(FV/PV)/ln(1+r)

n= number of periods of time

FV= future value=$2,500*2=$5,000

PV= present value=$2,500

r=interest rate=0.04

Now, you can replace the values in the formula:

n=ln(5,000/2,500)/ln(1+0.04)

n=ln2/ln1.04

n=0.69/0.039

n=17.69

According to this, the answer is that it will take 17.69 years for your funds to double.

Answer:

a. To have $66,000 in four years with an annual interest rate of 9%, the present value is:

PV = $66,000 x discount factor

= $66,000 x (1.09)^4

= $66,000 x 0.708

= $46,728

b. To have $18,500 in two years with an interest rate of 8% yearly, the present value is:

PV = $18,500 x discount factor

= $18,500 x (1.08)^2

= $18,500 x 0.857

= $15,854.50

c. The future value of an investment of $787 for ten years earning an interest of 9% is:

FV = $787 x FV factor

= $787 x (1.09)^10

= $787 x 2.367

= $1,862.83

Explanation:

The present values for options A and B are calculated by discounting the future values with their discount factors.  The present values show the amounts that need to be invested today at prevailing interest rates to yield the future values after the indicated periods of time.

The future value for option C is calculated by multiplying the present value of the investment with its future value factor.  These present and future values show that there is a time value of money.  This concept means that money received today is not equal in value to the same amount received some time later.  Based on this difference, interest rates are charged to equate the values of money received today and money received in a year's time.  The interest rates also consider the inflation rate and must always be above the inflation rate in order to retain future value.

Answer:

The current market rate is 8%

Explanation:

The market rate is the return on market or the market portfolio. To calculate the market rate (rM) we will use the CAPM equation which is used to calculate the required rate of return on a stock or portfolio. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

We already know the value of r, rRF and Beta. We will input these values in the above equation to calculate the market rate.

0.12 = 0.04 + 2 * (rM - 0.04)

0.12 - 0.04 = 2 * rM - 0.08

0.08 + 0.08 = 2 * rM

0.16 / 2 = rM

rM = 0.08 or 8%

variable costs per unit = $10.57

variable cost per unit for utilities = $0.85

variable cost per unit for maintenance = $0.25

Explanation:

I believe that the question is incomplete: the missing part is that both utilities and maintenance costs are mixed.

Production in units 3,900

Variable production cost s:

Direct materials $9,675  / 3,900 = $2.4808 per unit

Direct labor $27,420  / 3,900 = $6.9846 per unit

Utilities ($3,702 - $387) / 3,900 = $0.85 per unit

Maintenance ($1,233 - $258) / 3,900 = $0.25 per unit

total variable costs per unit = $10.5654 ≈ $10.57

Answer:

Differential cost is $0

Explanation:

A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.  

Additional sales revenue = Sales revenue after further processing - sales revenue after split-off point

. A company 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 .  

                                                                               $

Sales after split off point  (Product C)                  58  

Sales at the split off point (Product B)                 33

Additional sales revenue                                     25

Further processing cost                                        (25)

Differential cost                                                        0

Differential cost is $0

Answer:

22.81%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below:

= (cash inflow ÷ total cost) - 1

where,

Cash inflow is $595,000

And, the total cost is

= $475,000 + $475,000 × 2%

= $475,000 + $9,500

= $484,500

So, the rate of return is

= ($595,000 ÷ $484,500) - 1

= 22.81%

Hence, the rate of return is 22.81%

Basically we applied the above formulas

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: Margin of safety ratio.

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Margin of Safety", in the field of business and accounting, is refered to a ratio whose main purpose is to establish the point in where the company knows that it has to sale obligately due to the fact that at that point the company can be sure that they have covered the fixed costs of it and after that point every sale will became a profit for the company. So that is why that this ratio indicates the percentage of each sales dollar that is available to cover those costs.

Answer:

Guillermo's Oil and Lube Company

Calculating the Direct Labor Rate Variance and the Direct Labor Efficiency Variance

a1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked

= $16 - $15 x 291

= $291 U

a2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate

= 297 - 291 x $15

= $90 F

b1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = the difference between the actual wages paid and the standard wages

= (Actual labour rate x actual hours) - (standard rate x actual hours)

= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 291)

= $4,656 - $4,365

= $291 U

b2. Direct labor efficiency variance = the difference between the actual number of direct labor hours worked and budgeted direct labor hours that should have been worked based on the standards

(291 x $15) - (297 x $15)

4,365 - 4,455

= $90 F

c. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages

= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)

= ($16 x 291) - ($15 x 297)

= $4,656 - $4,455

= $201 U

d. If actual wage rate paid in June was $14.00:

d1. Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Labor Rate minus Standard Labor Rate multiplied by Actual hours worked

= $14 - $15 x 291

= $291 F

d2. Direct labor efficiency variance (LEV) = Standard hours minus Actual hours x Standard hourly rate

= 297 - 291 x $15

= $90 F

d3. Total Direct labor rate variance (LRV) = Actual Wages minus Standard Wages

= (Actual labor rate x Actual hours) - (Standard labor rate x Standard hours)

= ($14 x 291) - ($15 x 297)

= $4,074 - $4,455

= $381 F

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations

Actual number of oil changes performed: 990

Standard number of direct labor hours to for 990 oil changes = 990 x 0.3 hours (since 18 minutes = 0.3 hours or 18/60) = 297 hours

Actual number of direct labor hours worked: 291 hours

Actual rate paid per direct labor hour: $16.00

Standard rate per direct labor hour: $15.00

b) The impact on direct labor rate variance if the actual wage rate paid in June was $14 was to turn the unfavorable labor rate variance into a favorable variance of $291 and the total direct labor variance would have been a favorable variance $381 instead of an unfavorable variance of $201.

Answer:

There are many alternative suppliers

Explanation:

Bargaining power of suppliers is one of Porters Five Forces. It refers to the extent to which a supplier can exert influence over buyers.

If there are many suppliers and a supplier raises price, consumer can easily change suppliers. But if the cost of changing suppliers is high (Switching costs), consumers would have less incentive to change suppliers. Thus, the bargaining power of suppliers would be high.

If there are few substitutes, there are few alternatives to the product offered by the supplier. so, the bargaining power of the supplier is high because consumers have little alternatives to the suppliers product.

Answer:

Current price of stock = $130.76(Approx).

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend paid = $4.25

Required return of return = 10%

Growth rate = 6.75%

Find:

Current price of stock = ?

Computation:

Current price of stock = D1 / (Required return of return - Growth rate)

Current price of stock = 4.25 / (0.1 - 0.0675)

Current price of stock = 4.25 / 0.0325

Current price of stock = $130.76(Approx).

Complete Question:

Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $50 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.30 per share and each share trades for $30. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 7% per year. Also, Time Warner has $15 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 8%. If the firm's tax rate is 30%, what is the WACC?

Answer:

7.5%

Explanation:

We can calculate WACC using the following formula:

WACC = Ke * MV of Equity / (MV of Equity  + MV of Debt)    +   Kd * MV of Debt / (MV of Equity  + MV of Debt)

Here:

Market Value of Equity is $50 billion

Market Value of Debt is $15 billion

Ke is % (Step 1)

Kd is 8%

By putting values, we have:

WACC =  8.07% * $50 Billion / ($50 Billion + $15 Billion)     +  8% * $50 Billion / ($50 Billion + $15 Billion)

WACC = 7.5%

Step 1: Calculate Ke

We can calculate Ke using the following formula:

Ke = Do * (1 + g) / P               + g

Here

Do is the dividend per share which is $0.3

g is the growth rate which is 7%

And

P is the market value of share which is $30 per share.

Ke = $30 * (1 + 7%) / $30     +  7%   =  8.07%

Answer:

b. $19,020

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached pdf file before answering the question. Please, see the attached file for the full question.

Also note that the "1. Option A 2. Option B 3. Option C" are not actually part of the question.

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

Note: This is an example of annuity. An annuity can be described as a series of payments made or income received at equal intervals.

Therefore, the relevant table in the question is the second table, i.e. table for the present value of an annuity of $1 at compound interest.

To calculate the present value (PV), the following for formula is used:

PV = ACI * PVA10% ............................ (1)

PV = Present value = ?

ACI = Annual cash inflows = $6,000

PVA = Present value of annuity of $1 at 10% for 4 years = 3.170

Note that the PVA is obtained for year 4 at 10% from the second table as already explained above.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $6,000 * 3.170

PV = $19,020

Therefore, the correct option is option b. $19,020.
