Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

you should replace the old car with a newer and more efficient one

Explanation:

all the numbers are missing, so I looked them up:

current sale value of old car $400

maintenance costs per year $800

gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/10 x 15,000 = $5,250

resale value in 2 years = $0

cost of replacing old car = $8,000

maintenance costs per year $0

gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/30 x 15,000 = $1,750

resale value in 2 years = $5,000

MARR = 15%

if you keep the old car, your net cash flows will be:

Year 1 = -$6,050

Year 2 = -$6,050

if you change your car, your net cash flows will be:

Year 0 = -$8,000 + $400 = -$7,600

Year 1 = -$1,750

Year 2 = $3,250

keeping the old car results in a NPV = -$6,050/1.15 - $6,050/1.15² = -$5,260.87 - $4,574.67 = -$9,835.54

changing for a new car results in a NPV = -$7,600 -$1,750/1.15 + $3,250/1.15² = -$7,600 -$1,521.74 + $2,457.47 = -$6,664.27

since both options result in negative cash flows, we must select the option that results in a smaller loss

Based on predicted production of 17,000 units, a company anticipates $255,000 of fixed costs and $216,750 of variable costs. The flexible budget amounts of fixed and variable costs for 15,000 units are (Do not round intermediate calculations):

Answers

Answer:

fixed costs = $255,000

variable costs = (15,000 / 17,000) x $216,750 = $191,250

Explanation:

A flexible budget is prepared in order to compare how budgeted revenues and costs actually worked out. In other words, if actual revenues and costs were similar to the budget previously prepared. A flexible budget adjusts actual results and helps management control how efficient the company was in following their budget. That is why a flexible budget is done after the budgeted period is over.

Fixed costs should not change (that is why they are fixed), but variable costs should change if the actual output was different than the budgeted output.

Recently, the Google team announced its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of "autonomous driving." The Google driverless car is at which stage of the new-product development process?

Answers

Answer:

Product Development (stage five)

Explanation:

Sometimes companies make moves towards introducing new products in the market space. To do this there are different stages that must be passed in the new-product development process. The product development stage is the stage where a prototype version of the product is produced. This version of the product would have the required features of the end product and the effect the product is expected to produce. After this stage, the product undergoes market testing. For products that took in a lot of investment, more intense test marketing should be done in order to ascertain what would really translate to higher sales for the product.

When the Google team announced that its fleet of driverless cars had completed over 1 million miles of 'autonomous driving', it means that they had produced the prototype of the product and it has undergone testing. The next stage would entail testing the product in the market and then commercialization.

Answers

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance=  $48,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual direct labor= 24,000 direct labor hours

Actual variable overhead of $120,000.

The standard variable overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor hour.

To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Actual rate= 120,000/24,000= $5

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (3 - 5)*24,000

What is the variable overhead rate variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $7,209 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard variable overhead rate $11.52 per machine-hour

Actual hours 8,900 machine-hours

Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $95,920

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Standard rate= 95,290/8,900= 10.71

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (11.52 - 10.71)*8,900

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $7,209 favorable

The bond has a 12% annual coupon rate, a $1,000 par value, it matures in 15 years and pays coupon quarterly. The current bond price is $900. What is the bond’s annual yield? A. 14.28% B. None of the answers is correct C. 13.60% D. 12.85%

Answers

Answer:

A. 14.28%

Explanation:

As per Approximation formula,

Quarterly yield = (A + B / C) * 100

A = Quarterly coupon = 12% of 1,000 / 4 =30

B = (Redemption - Price value / Number of coupon) = (1,000 - 900) / (15 * 4)

= 1.667

C= (Redemption value + Price / 2) = 1,000 + 900 / 2 = 1,900 /2 =  950

Quarterly yield = 30 + 1.66667 / 950 = 31.6667 / 950 = 0.03333

Quarterly yield = 3.33%

Using the calculator, we get exact Ytm quarterly = 3.3925%

Effective amount yield = {(1 + 0.033925)^4 - 1} * 100

Effective amount yield = 0.142762 * 100

Effective amount yield = 14.2762%

Effective amount yield = 14.28%

the fair value of Blossom is estimated to be $820,800. The carrying value of Blossom’s net identifiable assets, including the goodwill, at year-end is $855,000. Prepare Cullumber’s journal entry, if necessary, to record impairment of goodwill.

Answers

Answer:

Cullumber Company

Journal Entry:

Debit Loss on Goodwill Impairment $34,200

Credit Goodwill $34,200

To record the loss on goodwill impairment.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculation:

Fair value = $820,800

Carrying value of net identifiable assets, including goodwill = $855,000

Goodwill impairment = $34,200 ($855,000 - $820,800)

b) Cullumber, which acquired Blossom is expected to check for the impairment of goodwill yearly.  The impairment occurs when the carrying value of the net identifiable assets of Blossom is more than the fair value of Blossom.  Generally Accepted Accounting Standards require the annual review of the fair value of goodwill to check for its impairment.  By the above entry, the goodwill will be reduced by $34,200 and a loss debited in Cullumber's accounts.

If Ben invests $3500 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5 1 2 % annual interest to ensure that the interest he receives each year is 4 1 2 %

Answers

Answer:

Additional $1,750 must be invested by Ben.

Explanation:

Note: The question is not complete as some dots are omitted. The question is therefore given correctly before answering it as follows:

If Ben invests $3500 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5 1/2 % annual interest to ensure that the interest he receives each year is 4 1/2 %.

The question is now answered as follows:

From the question, we have:

Initial amount invested = $3,500

Interest rate on initial amount invested = 4%, or 0.04

Interest amount from initial amount invested = Initial amount invested * Interest rate on initial amount invested = $3,500 * 4% = $140

Let y represents the additional amount to invest. Therefore, we have:

Interest rate of additional amount invested = 5 1/2% = 5.5% = 0.055

Interest amount from additional amount invested = y * Interest rate of additional amount invested = y * 0.055 = y0.055

Total interest amount = Interest amount from initial amount invested + Interest amount from additional amount invested = $140 + y0.055

New amount invested = Initial amount invested + y = $3,500 + y

Interest rate of new amount invested = 4 1/2% = 4.5% = 0.045

Interest amount from new amount invested = New amount invested * ($3,500 + y) * 0.045 = $157.50 + y0.045

Since total interest amount must equal interest amount from new amount invested, we equate the two and solve as follows:

Total interest amount = Interest amount from new amount invested

$140 + y0.055 = $157.50 + y0.045

We can now solve for y as follows:

y0.055 - y0.045 = $157.50 - $140

y0.01 = $17.50

y = 17.50 / 0.01

y = $1,750

Therefore, additional $1,750 must be invested by Ben.

Fixed cost of production = $500,000

Variable cost of production per unit = $1,200

unit selling price= $1500

value for unsold products = $900

Answer the following questions:

1. If the manufacturer is considering production quantities of 40,000 units or 80,000 units, assuming 90% of product will be sold and 10% will be salvaged, what is the profit per unit?

Answer:

For 40,000 units

Profit per unit = $287.50

For 80,000 units

Profit per unit = $293.75

Explanation:

Total Profit = (0.9 * Total Unit Produced * Per unit selling price) + (0.1 * Total Unit Produced * Per unit selling price) - ( Fixed cost + (Total unit produce* Variable cost per unit))

Total Profit = (0.9 * 40,000 * 1,500 ) + (0.1 * 40,000 * 1,500) - (500,000 + (40,000 * 1,200))

=  54,000,000 + 6,000,000 - 48,500,000 = $11,500,000

For 40,000 units

Total Profit = $11,500,000

Profit per unit = total profit/no. of units

= 11,500,00 / 40,000 =  $287.50

For 80,000 units

Total Profit = (0.9 * 80,000 * 1,500 ) + (0.1 * 80,000 * 1,500) - (500,000 + (80,000 * 1,200))

= 108,000,000 + 12, 000,000 - 96,500,000

= 23,500,000

Total profit = $ 23,500,000

Profit per unit = 23,500,000 / 80,000

=  $293.75

A customer has requested that Inga Corporation fill a special order for 3,000 units of product K81 for $30 a unit. While the product would be modified slightly for the special order, product K81's normal unit product cost is $21.30:
Direct materials $ 5.40
Direct labor 6.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.50
Fixed manufacturing overhead 7.40
Unit product cost $21.30
Direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product K81 that would increase the variable costs by $1.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $14,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value.

Income Statement Debit and Credit columns of an end-of-period spreadsheet are $27,000 and $29,000, respectively, after all account balances have been extended, the amount of the net loss is $2,000.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

Revenues are an equity entry and as such are credited when they increase therefore the credit side of an income statement contains revenue. Expenses on the other hand are debited to remove them from revenue.

A credit of $29,000 and a debit of $27,000 means that there was a net income of $2,000 not a net loss. If the debits are less than the credits then that means that there are less expenses than revenue which would bring about a profit.

D) We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.

Answers

Answer: D) We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.

Explanation:

The Confidence interval allows one to speculate between which values the average of a population will be. In a 95% confidence interval, this means that we are 95% certain that the average value of a variable will be between the higher and lower limits set by the interval.

The 95% confidence interval here has an upper limit of  $24.2091 and a lower limit of $20.5051 for taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston. This means that with a 95% certainty, the taxi charge from Logan Airport to downtown Boston will be between these 2 charges so you can expect to pay an amount between them.

Apply the integration-responsiveness framework to describe which global strategy Hollywood studios followed originally, and how their strategic positioning has changed over time. Explain how and why.

Answers

Answer is given below :

Explanation:

Global integration refers to the coordination of the organization’s value chain operations within countries, achieving efficiency, synergy and cross-fertilization between countries so that equality between countries is maximized. Between global integration and local accountability, the integration-accountability framework is called to help managers develop a deeper understanding of the business. We can say at the outset or at the outset that an export strategy that applies to Hollywood is used when a company focuses primarily on its domestic operations. It is not intended to expand globally, but to export certain products to take advantage of international opportunities. It does not seek to adapt its products to international markets. It is not interested in responding to specific situations in other countries or formulating a unified world strategy. Hollywood not only produced films and shows that catered to the needs of its native business aimed at American Western culture, but as the industry began to expand it began to adopt a multi-national strategy. Multi dimensional strategy follows products or processes for specific situations in each country. In the initial example, Lincoln should use a multi-year strategy to adapt its manufacturing methods to the conditions of each country where electric factories are built. Retailers often use multicultural strategies because they must cater to local customer tastes. Hollywood has started producing Indian films like Kung Fu Panda, Karate Kids, Oscar Winning Slumdog Millionaire.

The global strategy that Hollywood studios followed at first was the international strategy.

It should be noted that the global strategy that Hollywood studios followed originally was the international strategy where identical movies were showed in foreign countries.

This has changed now as there are different movies that are filmed and in different versions. Also, it isn't in the control of the government to edit out any part.

Which interacting organization has a low coordination, low integration, transactional focus

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Amazon is fastest growing company in the world which has crossed 2 billion customer visits. It has also increased the worth of the company to $1.14 trillions. The supply chain management is where the strengths of the company lies and nobody can match the pricing strategy, quality management and other significant factors that are included in the supply chain management to ensure that the customer is having what they are paying for.

Supply chain management process includes the key partners which includes their suppliers, partners, clients and customers as well who play important roles in the supply chain process by coordinating, integrating systems with each other and are involved in the transaction-al process.

The customers are the one who interact fewer than partners, suppliers, clients, etc because all they do is order a particular product. This is the first interaction of the customer with Amazon and the last interaction is when the customer received the order. So this means they are less interacting party in this process.

Suppliers are continuously contacted and informed about the pricing, supply chain issues, etc so that the company is able to deliver its customers what they are desiring. Supply chain partners also in the process of interacting with Amazon as they have to move products from supplier to the customer. These partners are highly interacted, possess integrating systems and of transaction-al importance to the company.

Explanation:

The constant growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of a stock if the growth rate in the dividend is expected to remain constant. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

The formula for price today under DDM is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / r - g

We already know the P0, the D0 and the g. We can plug in these values in the formula to calculate r which is the cost of equity capital.

32 = 1.25 * (1+ 0.07)  /  (r - 0.07)

32 * (r - 0.07) = 1.3375

32r - 2.24 = 1.3375

32r = 1.3375 + 2.24

r = 3.5775 / 32

r = 0.11179 or 11.179%

Answers

Answer:

Total cash collection= $30,250

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash sales are 25 percent of total sales each month.

Sales on account:

50 percent in the month of the sale

30 percent in the month after the sale

20 percent two months after the sale.

Sales:

January $20,000

February $10,000

March $40,000

We need to calculate the cash collection for March:

Sales on cash March= 40,000*0.25= 10,000

risk-free assets have a beta of 0 and the market portfolio has a beta of 1. true or false true false

Answers

Answer: true

Explanation:

The term risk free assets are the assets that are secure because they are expected to bring about a return while the Beta is used to know the volatility of a portfolio when it is compared to the entire market.

Risk-free assets typically have zero beta since they're risk free. Therefore, risk-free assets have a beta of 0 and the market portfolio has a beta of 1 is true.

Assume that the tracking error of Portfolio X is 13.20 percent. What is the information ratio for Portfolio X

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

To calculate the information ratio of portfolio X, we have to first calculate the Jensen's alpha of portfolio X. The Jensen's alpha is given as:

Jensen’s Alpha = Expected Portfolio Return – [ Risk-Free Rate + Beta of the Portfolio* (Expected Market Return – Risk-Free Rate) ]

From the picture attached, the values of the data are gotten, substituting:

[tex]\alpha_p=R_p-[R_f+B_p(R_m-R_f)]\\\\\alpha_p=13-[5+1.3(10.1-5)]=1.37=1.37\%[/tex]

Information ratio = Jensen's alpha / Tracking error = 1.37% / 13.2% = 0.1038

The common stock currently sells for $57 per share and has a beta of 1.15, the preferred stock has a par value of $100 and currently sells for $99 per share, and the bonds have 18 years to maturity and sell for 107 percent of par. The market risk premium is 6.6 percent, T-bills are yielding 3.3 percent, and the company’s tax rate is 24 percent.A. What is the firm’s market value capital structure?B. If the company is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows?Solve for:A. DebtPreferred StockEquityB. Discount Rate

Answers

Answer:

common stocks = 8,100,000 x $57 = $461,700,000

preferred stocks = 300,000 x $99 = $29,700,00

debt = 185,000 x $2,000 x 1.07 = $395,900,000

total market value = $887,300,000

a)

capital structure:

common stocks = $461,700,000 / $887,300,000 = 52.03%

preferred stocks = $29,700,00 / $887,300,000 = 3.35%

debt = $395,900,000 / $887,300,000 = 44.62%

b) WACC = 7.48%

Re = 3.3% + (1.15 x 6.6%) = 10.89%

Cost of preferred stock = 4.1 / 99 = 4.14%

cost of debt = YTM = {55 + [(2,000 - 2,140)/36]} / [(2,000 + 2,140)/2] = 51.11 / 2,070 = 2.469 x 2 = 4.94%

WACC = (10.89 x 52.03%) + (4.14 x 3.35%) + (4.94 x 44.62% x 0.76) = 5.67% + 0.14% + 1.67% = 7.48%

Karya Company produces a handcrafted musical instrument called a gamelan. The gamelans are sold for a unit price of $839 Selected data for the company's operations last year follow: Units in beginning inventory 0 Unit produced 11,000 Units sold 7,000 Variable cost per unit: Direct materials $150 Direct labor $450 Variable manufacturing overhead $47 Variable selling and administrative $19 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacutring overhead $790,000 Fixed selling and administrative $620,000 What are the unit product costs under absorption and variable costing system

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unit produced 11,000

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $150

Direct labor $450

Variable manufacturing overhead $47

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $790,000

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Variable costing:

Unitary cost= 150 + 450 + 47= $647

Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 790,000/11,000= $71.82

Unitary cost= 647 + 71.82= $718.82

A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market Group of answer choices

Answers

Complete Question:

A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market:

Group of answer choices.

A. which has a higher demand.

B. which has a more elastic demand.

C. which has a less elastic demand.

D. which has a higher marginal revenue.

Answer:

C. which has a less elastic demand.

Explanation:

In competitive marketing, a price-discriminating monopolist is any individual or business entity which charges various customers different prices for its finished products or services, even though the products are similar, identical or homogeneous in nature and there cost of production is the same.

A price-discriminating monopolist having identical costs in two markets should charge a higher price in that market which has a less elastic demand because there are no close substitutes or alternatives for the goods and services.

For instance, if there's a gasoline or fuel hike in a particular state, a price-discriminating monopolist would charge higher price because gasoline or fuel is inelastic in the short-run or has a less elastic demand at the time.

What is the equivalent annual annuity of a project that requires an investment of $50,000 today and is expected to generate free cash flows of $15,000 per year for the next five years? The company’s weighted average cost of capital is 13.1% per year.

Answers

Answer:

$749.57

Explanation:

equivalent annual annuity = (NPV x rate) / [1 - (1 + rate)⁻ⁿ]

using a calculator, the NPV = $2,630rate = 13.1%n = 5

equivalent annual annuity = ($2,630 x 0.131) / [1 - (1 + 0.131)⁻⁵] = $344.53 / 0.4596 = $749.57

The equivalent annual annuity is used to compare mutually exclusive projects and determine which yields the highest annual returns.
