The Argentine peso was fixed through a currency board at Ps1.00/$ throughout the 1990s. In January 2002 the Argentine peso was floated. On January 29, 2003 it was trading at Ps3.20/$. During that one year period Argentina's inflation rate was 20% on an annualized basis. Inflation in the United States during that same period was 2.2% annualized.

Required:
a. What should have been the exchange rate in January 2003 if PPP held?
b. By what percentage was the Argentine peso undervalued on an annualized basis?
c. What were the probable causes of undervaluation?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 1.17416 peso/$

2. -63.30%

Explanation:

1. The exchange rate in January if PPP is held

1.00 = exchange rate

20 % = inflation in Argentina

0.22% = us inflation

1.00(1+0.20)/(1+0.022)

= 1.00x1.20/1.022

= 1.17416 pesos/$

B. Percentage by which pesos was devalued

(PPP/actual exchange rate)-1

= 1.17416/3.20 -1

= 0.366925-1

= -0.6330

= -63.30%

C. At 20 % we can see that inflation is really high in Argentina which is probably the reason for the undervaluation. But the truth is inflation alone cannot be held responsible. Severe crisis in Argentinas balance of payment is partly responsible

Hernandez Company has 350,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. During the year, Hernandez declared a 10% stock dividend when the market price of the stock was $30 per share. Four months later Hernandez declared a $.50 per share cash dividend. As a result of the dividends declared during the year, retained earnings decreased by:_______.
a. $1,242,500.
b. $525,000.
c. $192,500.
d. $175,000.

Answers

Answer:

b. $525,000.

Explanation:

Dividends distributions are always made out of the distributable profits found in the Retained Earnings.

The first step thus is to calculate the amount of dividends distributed.

1st Declaration :

Dividends = 350,000 shares x $10 x 10% = $350,000

2nd Declaration :

Dividends = 350,000 shares x $0.50 = $175,000

Therefore,

Total Dividends = $350,000 + $175,000 = $525,000

Conclusion :

As a results of the dividends distribution, retained earnings decreased by $525,000.

Advanced Enterprises reports year−end information from 2019 as​ follows: Sales​ (160,250 units) ​$969,000 Cost of goods sold ​(641,000) Gross margin ​328,000 Operating expenses ​(268,000) Operating income ​$60,000 Advanced is developing the 2020 budget. In 2020 the company would like to increase selling prices by​ 13.5%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of​ 10%. All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant. Assume that cost of goods sold is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost. What is budgeted cost of goods sold

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods sold = $576,900

Explanation:

The budgeted cost of goods sold will be the sales volume in 2020 multiplied by cost per unit .

Sales volume in year 2020= (100-10)% ×  sales figure for 2019

                                            = 90% × 160,250=  144,225  

Cost of goods sold per unit =  cost of goods sold in 2019/Sales units in 2019

                                              = 641,000/160250=$4

Cost of goods sold =  $4× 144,225 =  $576,900

Cost of goods sold = $576,900

Tons of materials 10 7
Setup hours 5 8
Determine the unit costs of Camshafts and Swing Drives using ABC. Round answers to the nearest cent.
Camshafts $ _____
Swing Drives $_____

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rates:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine Setup= 600,000 / 15,000= $40 per setup hour

Material handling= 90,000 / 3,000= $30 per ton of material

Machine operation= 420,000 / 12,000= $35 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate costs to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Camshafts:

Machine Setup= 40*5= $200

Material handling= 30*10= $300

Machine operation= 35*4= $140

Total allocated costs= $640

Swing Drives:

Machine Setup= 40*8= $320

Material handling= 30*7= $210

Machine operation= 35*5= $175

Total allocated costs= $705

Finally, the unitary cost:

Camshafts:

Total cost= 40,000 + 7,000 + 640= $47,640

Unitary cost= 47,640 / 1,500= $31.76

Swing Drives:

Total cost= 30,000 + 12,000 + 705= $42,705

Unitary cost= 42,705 / 900= $47.45

Determine the (1) current ratio and (2) quick ratio for both years. Round to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

Current ratio

Year 1 = 1.3

Year 2 = 1.1

Quick ratio

Year 1 = 1.0

Year 2 = 0.8

Explanation:

Current ratio is the ration of a company's current assets to the current liabilities while the quick ratio is similar to the current asset except that the prepaid expenses and inventories are excluded from the determination of the assets.

Current assets

Year 1 = 9,096 + 2,913 + 6,437 + 2,720 + 1,865

= $ 23,031.00

Year 2 =  6,134 + 2,592 + 6,651 + 3,143 + 2,143

= $ 20,663.00

Current Liabilities

Year 1 = 4,071 + 13,507

= $ 17,578.00

Year 2 = 5,076 + 13,016

= $ 18,092.00

Current ratio

Year 1 = $ 23,031.00/$ 17,578.00

= 1.3 ( to 1 decimal place)

Year 2 = $ 20,663.00/$ 18,092.00

= 1.1 to 1 decimal place

Quick ratio

Year 1

= (23,031.00 - 2,720 - 1,865)/ 17,578.00

= 1.0 to 1 decimal place

Year 2

= (20,663.00 - 3,143 - 2,143)

Using 15 data values, a 90 percent confidence interval for the slope of a regression model was found to be (2.31, 3.47). The researcher claims that the interval would have been narrower with a different sample size if all other things remained the same. Which of the following sample sizes would make the researcher's claim NOT true?
A. 14
B. 16
C. 20
D. 30
E. 100

Answers

Answer:

A. 14

Explanation:

the researcher claims that the width of the interval would have been smaller if the sample had been different, and in this case different refers to larger. The original sample included only 15 people, so in order to increase the data sample, you must include more than 15 people. That is why 14 doesn't make sense.

Excess reserves A. are loans made at above market interest rates. B. are the deposits that banks do not use to make loans. C. are reserves banks keep to meet the reserve requirement.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The excess reserves are the reserves banks that maintain more the legal requirement. It shows the difference between the required reserve and the actual reserve  

Hence, the last option is correct

Now the required reserve is

= $1,210

And, the excess reserve is

= $2,200 - $1,210

= $990

Hence, the same would be relevant

The market price of Northern Mills stock has been relatively volatile and you think this volatility will continue for a couple more months. Thus, you decide to purchase a two-month European call option on this stock with a strike price of $30 and an option price of $1.60. You also purchase a two-month European put option on the stock with a strike price of $30 and an option price of $.20. Contracts are on 100 shares. What will be your net profit or loss on these option positions if the stock price is $36 on the day the options expire

Answers

Answer:

$420

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What will be your net profit or loss

First step is to calculate Net Profit from call option Using this formula

Net Profit from call option = (Gain from Exercising Call Option - Option Premium paid) * Size of the Contract

Let plug in the formula

Net Profit from call option= (($36 - $30) - $1.60) × 100 Shares

Net Profit from call option= $440

Second step is to calculate Net Loss from put option

Using this formula

Net Loss from put option = (Option Premium paid) * Size of the Contract

Let plug in the formula

Net Loss from put option = $0.20 × 100 Share

Net Loss from put option = $20

Now let calculate the net profit using this formula

Net profit= Net Profit from Call Option - Net loss from Put Option

Let plug in the formula

Net profit= $440 - $20

Net profit= $420

Therefore What will be your net profit is $420

Answers

Answer: $93.86

Explanation:

The break even price simply refers to the price that's required to make a normal profit. From the information given, the break even price will be:

= [($93-$44) × 2675)/2750) + 44] × ( 1 + 2.3%)

= [$49 × 2675)/2750)+44] × (1+0.024)

= [(49 × 2675)/2750)+44] × 1.024

= [(131075/2750) + 44] × 1.024

= (47.66 + 44) × 1.024

= 91.66 × 1.024

= $93.86

Therefore, the break even price is $93.86

= $4.90

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Standard Cost Card

Direct materials (5 pounds at $5 per pound) $25.00

Direct labor (0.90 hours at $10)                           9.00

Variable overhead (0.90 hours at $4 per hour)  3.60

Fixed overhead (0.90 hours at $9 per hour)       8.10

                                                                         $45.70

Variances

Costs                        Total Standard Cost     Price         Quantity

Direct materials                     $405,000      $8,298 F   $9,900 U

Direct labor                               145,800        4,590 U     7,200  U

Units produced = Total standard cost/direct materials standard cost per unit

= $405,000/$25

= 16,200 units

Pounds of raw materials purchased and used = (Total standard cost + Unfavorable Quantity Variance)/direct materials standard cost per pound

= ($405,000 + $9,900)/$5

= 82,980 pounds

Actual costs:

Direct materials = $406,602 ($405,000 - $8,298 + $9,900)

Actual price per pound = $4.90 ($406,602/82,980)

Direct labor = $157,590 ($145,800 + 4,590 + 7,200)

Actual price per pound = ((Actual Quantity * Standard Price) - Favorable Price Variance)/Actual Quantity

= ((82,980 * $5) - $8,298)/82,980

= ($414,900 - $8,298)/82,980

= $406,602/82,980

= $4.90

A. The units produced during the period are 16200 (rounded off to nearest zero).

B. 82980 pounds of raw material was being required during the period.

C. The actual cost of raw materials come out of $4.90/pound

We know that formula to find units produced is,

[tex]\rm units\ produced=\dfrac{\rm{total standard cost}}{\rm{direct materials}}\\\\units \ produced = \dfrac{405000}{25}\\\\\rm units\ produced = 16200[/tex]

So, 16200 units were produced.

Raw material purchased and used can be obtained by the following formula,

[tex]\rm raw\ material\ used = \dfrac{\rm{total\ standard\ cost+\ unfavourable \ quantity\ variance}}{\rm{direct\ material \ standard\ cost\ per \pound}} \\\\ =\dfrac{4149000}{5}\\\\=829800[/tex]

So, 829800 pounds of raw material was consumed during the period.

The actual cost of raw material per pound can be calculated by simply dividing direct materials with pounds purchased and used which comes out to $4.90.

Hence, the answers are calculated as

Actual cost per pound = $4.90

Raw material consumed and purchased = 829800 pounds

Units produced = 16200 units

The Brisbane Manufacturing Company produces a single model of a CD player. Each player is sold for $182 with a resulting contribution margin of $71. Brisbane's management is considering a change in its quality control system. Currently, Brisbane spends $42,000 a year to inspect the CD players. An average of 1,900 units turn out to be defective: 1,520 of them are detected in the inspection process and are repaired for $75. If a defective CD player is not identified in the inspection process, the customer who receives it is given a full refund of the purchase price. The proposed quality control system involves the purchase of an x-ray machine for $210,000. The machine would last for five years and would have salvage value at that time of $18,000. Brisbane would also spend $470,000 immediately to train workers to better detect and repair defective units. Annual inspection costs would increase by $25,000. Brisbane expects this new control system to reduce the number of defective units to 400 per year. 350 of these defective units would be detected and repaired at a cost of only $41 per unit. Customers who still receive defective players will be given a refund equal to 120% of the purchase price.

a. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane keeps using its current system?
b. What is the Year 3 cash flow if Brisbane replaces its current system?

The manager of the Quick Stop Corner convenience store (which is open 360 days per year) sells four cases of Stein soda each day (1440 cases per year). Order costs are $8.00 per order. The lead time for an order is three days. Annual holding costs are equal to $57.60 per case. If the manager orders 16 cases each time she places an order, how many orders would she place in a year

Answers

Answer:

90 orders she would place in a year

Explanation:

The total annual cases of Stein soda that the manager buys are 1,440 cases. If she were to place 16 cases in a single order then we would divide the total  cases bought in a year by the cases bought in a single order to determine the number of orders the manager would place in a year. As shown below:

No. of orders placed in a year = Annual Total Cases bought / Cases purchased in single order

No. of orders placed in a year = 1,440 / 16

No. of orders placed in a year = 90 orders

Bodin Company budgets on an annual basis. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are plannned for the year 20x1. Five units of raw material are required to produce each unit of finished product. January 1 December 31 Raw material 42,000 49,000 Work in process 19,000 19,000 Finished goods 92,000 75,000 Required: 1. If Bodin Company plans to sell 476,000 units during the year, compute the number of units the firm would have to manufacture during the year. 2. If 508,000 finished units were to be manufactured by Bodin Company during the year, determine the amount of raw material to be purchased.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The number of units to be manufactured during the year is

= Selling units + ending finished goods - opening finished goods

= 476,000 units +  75,000 units - 92,000 units

=  459,000 units

2. The raw material purchased amount is

= (508,000 × 5) + 49,000 - 42,000

= $2,547,000

Consider the following statements when answering this question I. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the short-run market price. II. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the long-run market price. I is true, and II is false. I and II are true. I is false, and II is true. I and II are false.

Answers

Answer:

I and II are true

Explanation:

I. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the short-run market price

In the short run of the competitive industry when the market demand for goods rises then the price of these goods will also increase. This is because the price equals marginal revenue. Therefore, when price rises then marginal revenue will increase and as a result, the marginal cost curve moves up and firms produce more quantity of goods. This statement is therefore true.

II. Increases in the demand for a good, which is produced by a competitive industry, will raise the long-run market price

The effect of the increase in goods demand is the same in the long run of the competitive industry as it is in the short run. Therefore, a rise in demand would raise the price of the goods above ATC (Average Total Cost). Hence, the above statement is also true.

Cora purchased a hotel building on May 17, 2020, for $3,000,000. Determine the cost recovery deduction for 2021. a.$76,920 b.$69,000 c.$48,150 d.$59,520

Answers

Answer: $76920

Explanation:

Firstly, we should note that the hotel building is simply non residential and then qualifies to be part of 39 year property.

Then, the cost of recovery will be:

= 1/39 × Cost of the hotel

= 1/39 × $3,000,000

= $76,920

Therefore, the cost recovery deduction for 2021 is $76,920
