what sets one organization apart from others and provides the firm with a distinctive edge for meeting marketplace needs is known as _____ a target market by decentralization c competitive distinction d competitive advantage e core competency
Answer: Competitive Advantage
Explanation:
The competitive advantage of a company is that thing that gives it an edge over its competitors such that it sells more than them even though they offer similar products.
A competitive advantage is therefore what gives a company abnormal profits in a competitive market and is necessary to survive in the tough markets of the world. Walmart for instance, has the competitive advantage of getting goods at the cheapest rates which allows them to make higher profits when they resell.
An educational institution has total direct labor and material costs of $1964 per student. Its fixed costs are $352,800. Total revenues for the year were $1,800,000. It had 800 students in the past year. How many students should they accept in the next year to break even assuming the variable cost margins are equal to this year, and assuming fixed costs are to increase by $19,000 due to increased rent for expansion? (round to the nearest whole number).
Answer:
1300 students
Explanation:
The computation of the no of students to be accepted for break even is given below:
Fixed cost is
= $352,800 + $19,000
= $371,800
Revenue per student is
= $1,800,000 ÷ 800
= 2250
And,
Variable cost per student = 1964
So,
Contribution margin = Revenue - Variable cost
= $2,250 - $1,964
= $286
Break even point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= 371800÷ 286
= 1300 students

Error costs are costs associated with ______________ by the cost management system and measurement costs are the costs associated with making poor decisions.
Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 61% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 26,400 curtain rods per year.
A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.30 per unit. If Pottery Ranch accepts the supplier’s offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $40,400 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products.
Required:
Prepare the incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the finials.
Answer:
Pottery Ranch Inc.
Incremental Analysis
Make Buy Incremental
Production costs:
Variable manufacturing costs per unit:
Direct materials per unit $4.00
Direct labor per unit $5.00
Variable manufacturing per unit $3.05
Total variable manufacturing costs $12.05 $13.30 $1.25
Annual units of curtain rods 26,400 26,400 26,400
Variable manufacturing costs $318,120 $351,120 $33,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production capacity = 100%
Variable manufacturing overhead = 61% of direct labor cost
Direct materials per unit = $4
Direct labor per unit = $5
Variable manufacturing per unit = $3.05 (61% of $5)
Total variable manufacturing cost per unit = $12.05
Normal production per year = 26,400 units
Total variable manufacturing costs = $318,120 ($12.05 * 26,400)
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $40,400
The risk free rate currently have a return of 2.5% and the market risk premium is 5.77%. If a firm has a beta of 1.42, what is its cost of equity
Answer:
10.69%
Explanation:
Market risk premium = 5.77% or 0.0577
The beta = 1.42
Risk free rate = 2.5% or 0.025
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 0.025 + 1.42*0.0577
Cost of equity = 0.025 + 0.081934
Cost of equity = 0.106934
Cost of equity = 10.69%

3. The USD depreciates 2% versus the JPY. The USD appreciates 1% versus the MXN. What is the approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate
Answer:
The approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate is 3%.
Explanation:
The approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate can be stated using the folowing 3 steps.
Step 1. State the initial exchange rates of the currency pairs.
Let first assume the initial exchange rates are as follows:
USD1 = JPY1
USD1 = MXN1
Therefore, we have the initial cross rate as follows:
MXN1 = USD1 = JPY1
MXN1 = JPY1
Step 2. Determine the new exchange rates
The new exchange rates can be determined as follows:
When the USD depreciates 2% versus the JPY, this implies that USD1 * (100% + 2%) = USD1.02 has to be exchanged for JPY1. Therefore, we now have:
USD1.02 = JPY1, or
USD1 = JPY1/1.02
USD1 = JPY0.98
Also, when The USD appreciates 1% versus the MXN, this implies that USD1 * (100% - 1%) = USD0.99 has to be exchanged for MXN1. Therefore, we now have:
USD0.99 = MXN1, or
USD1 = MXN1/0.99
USD1 = MXN1.01
Therefore, we have the new cross rate as follows:
MXN1.01 = USD1 = JPY0.98
MXN1.01 = JPY0.98
MXN1.01 / 1.01 = JPY0.98/1.01
MXN1 = JPY0.97, or
MXN1/0.97 = JPY0.97/0.97
MXN1.03 = JPY1
Therefore, the new exchange rates are as follows:
USD1.02 = JPY1
USD0.99 = MXN1
MXN1.03 = JPY1
c. Determination of appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY
Percentage of depreciation of MXN against JPY = ((Initial MXN/JPY - New MXN/JPY) / Initial MXN/YPY) * 100 = ((1.03 - 1) / 1) * 100 = 3%
Since the percentage of depreciation of MXN against JPY is 3%, this also implies that the percentage of appreciation of JPY against MXN is 3%.
Therefore, the approximate appreciation or depreciation we might see in the MXN/JPY cross exchange rate is 3%.

Big Chill, Inc. sells portable dehumidifier units at the current price of $184. Unit variable costs are $85. Fixed costs, made up primarily of salaries, rent, insurance and advertising, are $3,236,000. Calculate breakeven sales for Big Chill, Inc. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
$6,014,384
Explanation:
Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor a loss. This is the point where Profit = $0.
Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
therefore,
Break even units = $3,236,000 ÷ ($184 x $85)
= 32,687 units
thus,
Breakeven Sales = 32,687 units x $184 = $6,014,384

A corporate bond with a 6% coupon (paid semiannually) has a yield to maturity of 7.5%. The bond matures in 20 years but is callable at $1050 in ten years. The maturity value is par. Calculate the bond’s yield to call. % terms w/o $ sign. (HINT: Find the current price and then solve for YTC.)
Answer:
Yield to Call = 8.66%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to call is shown below:
First determine Current Price of Bond,
PV = [FV = 1,000, PMT = 30, N = 40, I = 0.075 ÷2]
PV = $845.87
Callable Price = $1,050
Now
Calculating Yield to Call,
I = [PV = -845.87, FV = 1,050, N = 20, PMT = 30]
I = 8.66%
Yield to Call = 8.66%
You are selling an asset. you can earn an interest rate of 7% per yer on your savings. You receive the following two (risk less) offers:
Offer 1: receive $400,000 today
Offer 2: Receive $500,000 in 4 years
a. Which offer should you choose?
b. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between the two offers?
Answer:
Option 1
5.737126344%
Explanation:
to determine which option i would prefer today, i would need to determine the present value of offer 2
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
[tex]\frac{500,000}{1.07^{4} }[/tex] = $381,447.61
I would prefer the first option because its present value is greater than that of option 2
The interest rate that would make me indifferent between either options would be the interest at which the present value of $500,000 in 4 years is $400,000
$400,000 = [tex]\frac{500,000}{(1 + x)^{4} }[/tex]
$400,000[tex](1 + x)^{4}[/tex] = $500,000
500,000 / 400,000= (1 + x)^{4}
1.25 = (1 + x)^{4}
[tex]1.25^{0.25}[/tex] = 1 + x
x = 5.737126344%

A department that is capital-intensive most likely would use a predetermined departmental overhead rate based on which of the following activity bases?
a. units of direct material used
b. direct labor hours
c. direct labor cost
d. machine hours
Answer:
D)machine hours
Explanation:
It should be noted that department that is capital-intensive most likely would use a predetermined departmental overhead rate based on
machine hours.
A machine-hour can be regarded as measurement that is been used in applying factory overhead to manufactured goods. It's application is usually found in machine-intensive environments, environment whereby the amount of time that is expelled on processing by a machine is been regarded as largest activity that overhead allocations can be said to have based upon. Machine hour rate can be gotten by making division of the total running expenses of a machine by estimated number of hours for the machine to work at a specific period
A monetary growth rule means that :__________a) the Fed will raise interest rates if it thinks the economy is growing faster than potential. b) the Fed will lower interest rates if it thinks a recession is on the horizon. c) the money supply should grow in response to economic conditions. d) the money supply should grow at a constant rate.
Answer:
d) the money supply should grow at a constant rate.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System (popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, the Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
Monetary growth rule is a theory that was proposed by Friedman and it states that the Federal Reserve System (Fed) should be required to set or target the money supply growth rate to be equal to the growth rate of Real gross domestic product (GDP) each year and leaving the price level of goods and services unchanged.
Basically, this growth rate of gross domestic product (GDP) is usually set between 1% and 4%. Also, the monetary growth rule is also referred to as the K-Percent rule.
Hence, a monetary growth rule means that the money supply should grow at a constant rate.
Part 1
a) Well done! From 2007 Q4 to 2009 Q2, real GDP fell from $15,762 to $15,134.1, or by -3.58%.
b) That's right! The deflator rose from 93.15 to 94.84, or 182%. If you put 1.74%, that's an approximation.
Part 2. Good! In each of those quarters, real GDP was lower than in the previous quarter.
Part 3. You had the right idea, but you assumed that real GDP grow at 3% for only one year
By the end of 2009, the economy had recovered slightly; however, the economy was still smaller than it was two years prior. From 2007 to 2009, real GDP had fallen from $15,762 billion to $15,356 billion. How deep was the recession?
Suppose that the long-run growth trend of real GDP was 3% per year. If the economy had grown at 3% per year since 2007, there was a shortfall of_____billion at the end of 2009.
Answer: $1,365.91
Explanation:
Shortfall = Expected GDP - Actual GDP
Expected GDP in 2009 is based on the premise that the economy has grown by 3% since 2007.
Expected GDP in 2009 will therefore be;
= 15,762 * ( 1 + 3%)²
= $16,721.91
Shortfall = 16,721.91 - 15,356
= $1,365.91
A young college student on a tight budget is campaigning for an open city council seat. A friend in her economics class estimates that voters are influenced by TV and newspaper ads according to the following function: Votes = 300TV0.6 NP0.2, where TV represents the number of television ads and NP represents the number of newspaper ads. Thus, the marginal product of a newspaper ad is 60TV0.6 NP–0.8 and the marginal product of a TV ad is 180TV–0.4 NP0.2. A local television ad costs $400, and a local newspaper ad costs $250. If the candidate needs 1,800 votes to win, what is the lowest-cost combination of newspaper and TV ads that will bring her victory?

The short-run cost function of a company is given by the equation TC=10000+50q, where TC is the total cost and q is the total quantity of output.
a. What is the company's fixed cost?
b. If the company produced 2,000 units of goods what would be its average variable cost?
c. What would be its marginal cost of production?
d. What would be its average fixed cost?
e. Suppose the company borrows money and expands its factory. Its fixed cost rises by $5,000 but its variable cost falls to $45/unit. The cost of interest also enters the equation. Each 1 point increase in the interest rate raises costs by $250. Write the new cost equation.
Answer:
a. 10000
b. 50
c. 50
d. 5
e. TC = 15000+5Q+250r
Explanation:
TC = 10000+50Q
a. the fixed cost Is 10000
b. variable cost, VC = 50Q
at q =2000 units,
average variable cost = [tex]\frac{VC}{Q}[/tex]
= 50Q/Q
= 50
C. Marginsal cost = d(tc)/dq = 50
d. the average fixed cost = 10000/q
= 10000/2000
= 5
e. the final cost would be = 10000+5000= 15000
the variable cost woul be calculated as= (50-45)Q = 5Q
Interest rate = 250r
the new cost equation = TC = 15000+5Q+250r
Murphy's, Inc., has 45,000 shares of stock outstanding with a par value of $1 per share. The market value is $10 per share. The balance sheet shows $70,500 in the capital in excess of par account, $45,000 in the common stock account, and $133,500 in the retained earnings account. The firm just announced a stock dividend of 12 percent. What will the balance in the capital in excess of par account be after the dividend?
Answer: $119100
Explanation:
The balance in the capital in excess of par account be after the dividend will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we'll calculate the change in capital in excess of par and this will be:
= Number of shares × dividend rate × (market value - par value)
= 45,000 × 12% × ($10 - $1)
= (45000 × 0.12) × $9
= 5400 × $9
= $48,600
Then, the balance in the capital in excess of par after the dividend will be:
= $70,500 + $48,600
= $119,100
