In order to update a production process, a company can spend money now or four years from now. If the amount now would be $20,000, what equivalent amount could the company spend four years from now at a compound interest rate of 15% per year?(All the alternatives presented below were calculated using compound interest factor tables including all decimal places
Answer: $34,980.13
Explanation:
The amount that the company will spend 4 years from now is simply the future value of the amount that it can spend today.
The amount to be spent today is $20,000 so the amount to be spent 4 years from now is the future value of $20,000:
= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years
= 20,000 * ( 1 + 15%)⁴
= $34,980.13

A popular hotel has continued to lose business in its room service food sales over the last five years. Using the Six Sigma DMAIC process explain what you would do in each step of the process to improve the sales - provide relevant, practical details. What statistics would you apply and why?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Using the Six Sigma DMAIC process, I will explain what I would do in each step of the process to improve the sales.
DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and control.
What I would do first is, of course, define the nature of the problem. To define exactly what is the root of the drop in sales in the hotel. That would allow me to establish proper goals and define a strategy to implement. If a need to do surveys to customers or unsatisfied clients, I would do that. Listening to customer feedback would provide the necessary information.
Then, I have to measure the performance of my employees. Monitoring and evaluate the productivity of the people who work in the organization.
I have to analyze if the productivity ratio of each employee to know if they are performing to the maximum of their capabilities.
In this case, I could use a Pareto chart or the 80-20 rule, to assess productivity in the company.
I have to pay attention to the causes of poor performance and poor quality service. There is an interesting analysis called Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that can be useful in this case.
Once identified and eliminated the root or causes of the problems, then it comes de Improve the process to enhance the performance in every area of the organization. I would have to get people on the same page and focus on one problem at a time to doing things right.
Another model that could be useful in this scenario would be Design of Experiments, commonly known as DOE, which helps resolve complex issues
Finally, the control of everything implementation and solution to confirm it has been established the right way with the desired results. This could be part of the continuing Quality Control process- The poke yoke system would be a good option to be contemplated.

While under contract to play professional basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers, Billy Cunningham, an outstanding player, negotiated a three-year contract with the Carolina Cougars, another professional basketball team. The contract with the Cougars was to begin at the expiration of the contract with the 76ers. In addition to a signing bonus of $125,000, Cunningham was to receive under the new contract a salary of $100,000 for the first year, $110,000 for the second, and $120,000 for the third. The contract also stated that Cunningham "had special, exceptional and unique knowledge, skill and ability as a basketball player" and that Cunningham therefore agreed the Cougars could enjoin him from playing basketball for any other team for the term of the contract. In addition, the contract contained a clause prohibiting its assignment to another club without Cunningham’s consent. In 1971, the ownership of the Cougars changed, and Cunningham’s contract was assigned to Munchak Corporation, the new owners, without his consent. When Cunningham refused to play for the Cougars, Munchak Corporation sought to enjoin his playing for any other team. Cunningham asserts that his contract was not assignable. Was the contract assignable? Explain.
Answer:
Billy Cunningham and the Cougars
The contract was not assignable to another club.
But, the contract (assets and liabilities) can be inherited by a successor entity using the same club, the Cougars.
Explanation:
The contract was not assigned to another club, despite the change of ownership of the Cougars. Interestingly, the contract between Cunningham and Carolina Cougars was inheritable with the change of ownership of the Cougar Club from the formers owners, Carolina Cougars, to the new owners, Munchak Corporation. The clause prohibiting the contract's assignment to another club without Cunningham's consent was not violated.
Auto Industries Company reported the following on its income statement:
Income before income taxes $420,000

Net income $300,000
If the income statement also shows interest expense equal to $80,000, what is the company's times interest earned ratio?
a. 5 times.
b. 6.25 times.
c. 5.25 times.
d. 8 times.
Answer:
Option c. 5.25 times is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
Income before income tax = $420000
Income tax expenses = 120000 dollars
Net income = $300000
Interest expense = $80000
Interest earned ratio = Earning Before Interest and Taxes / Interest Expenses
Interest earned ratio = 420000 / 80000
Interest earned ratio = 5.25 times
Option c. 5.25 times is the correct answer.
Cullumber Corporation has announced that its net income for the year ended June 30, 2017, was $1,353,412. The company had EBITDA of $4,948,000, and its depreciation and amortization expense was equal to $1,128,000. The company's average tax rate is 34 percent. What was its interest expense
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Net income = $1,353,412
Tax rate is 34% hence the company's EBT amount is calculated as
EBT = $1,353,412 / 0.66 = $2,050,624.24
Add back Depreciation and amortization to the EBT
= $2,050,624.24 + $1,128,000
= $3,178,624.24
The difference between the above and EBITDA amount will be the interest expense for the year
= $4,948,000 - $3,178,624.24
= $1,769,375.76
Therefore, the interest expense is $1,769,375.76

The standard cost per ounce of material is $16.25. During July, the Santa Clara location produced 5,200 pairs of sunglasses and used 9,800 ounces of materials. The cost of the materials during July was $17.00 per ounce, and there were no beginning or ending inventories. Required a. Determine the flexible budget materials cost for the completion of the 5,200 pairs of glasses.
Answer:
Direct material flexible budget= $159,250
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The standard cost per ounce of material is $16.25.
Actual quantity= 9,800 ounces
The flexible budget employs the standard cost for the actual quantity:
Direct material flexible budget= 16.25*9,800
Direct material flexible budget= $159,250
Crane Company receives a $74,000, 5-year note bearing interest of 5% (paid annually) from a customer at a time when the discount rate is 6%.
Required:
What is the present value of the note received by Crane?
Answer: $70,882.98
Explanation:
Present value of note = Present value of interest payments + Present value of face value
Present value of interest payment:
First calculate the interest:
= 5% * 74,000
= $3,700
This amount is constant so is an annuity
Present value = 3,700 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 5 years, 6%
= 3,700 * 4.2124
= $15,585.88
Present value of face value :
= 74,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵
= $55,297.10
Present value of note:
= 15,585.88 + 55,297.10
= $70,882.98

Assume that you are a loan officer of a bank. A local church is seeking a $4 million, 20-year loan to construct a new classroom building. Church officers submit a comprehensive financial report that was audited by a reputable CPA firm. In summary form (the actual statement showed details), the church’s statement of revenues and expenditures indicated the following (in millions):
Revenues from dues and contributions .... $1.8
Revenues from other sources ....... 0.2
Total revenues ............. $2.0
Less: total expenditures .......... 2.0
Excess of revenues over expenditures .... $0.0
The church's balance sheet reported assets, mainly cash and investments (at market value), of $0.2 million. In addition, a note to the financial statements indicated that equipment is approximately $3 million. The church has no outstanding debt.
a. Is there any information in the financial statements that would make you reluctant to approve the loan? If so, indicate and explain.
b. Is there any other financial information of the type likely to be reported in a conventional annual report that you would like to review prior to making a loan decision? If so, indicate and explain.
c. Is there any other information, of any type, that you would like to review prior to making a loan decision? If so, indicate and explain.
d. Comment on the inherent limitations of the financial statements of this church, or any comparable not-for-profit organization, as a basis for making loan decisions.
Answer:
Explanation:
a.
There is little information on how funds are used or how much money is spent to manage the church. The financial statements have been prepared incorrectly.
Interpretation:
While drafting the financial accounts, the church committed many errors. The church's revenue is equivalent to its daily operations operating expenditures. They have approximately $3 million in funding assets that they do not owe any money on.
It may be deduced that the church is attempting to preserve asymmetric information, and therefore it will be better to justify its sources of income and use of money in order to determine whether they can or they cannot pay the debt.
b.
The revenue from various channels must be detailed in the yearly report so that the loan officer may make an informed judgment.
Interpretation:
Since payments and contributions account for 90% of revenue and revenue from other sources accounts for 10%, it's surprising how the church earns money in other ways as stated on the income statement. As a result, it's important to understand what other potential revenue streams the church has before approving the loan.
c.
The officer in charge of the loan should check the church's book records to make sure and guarantee that there are no outstanding loans. This situation necessitates a thorough examination and assessment.
Interpretation:
The church has $3 million worth of equipment. The church's expenses, on the other hand, are equivalent to the church's income. As a result, it's unclear how the church acquired the equipment without taking out a loan. As a result, the church must be urged to produce a full breakdown of its expenses, which may be thoroughly and fully studied to see whether there are any financing charges that the church is attempting to hide in its yearly reports.
d.
There is no direct or primary source of income for the church. It solely makes money from charity donations.
Interpretation:
The church's only sources of income are fundraisers and charitable donations. It also doesn't possess any significant revenue streams. Because the church is attempting to conceal numerous possible pieces of information, this may be a case of micro-management by the proprietors, and so these issues should be considered by the officer in charge of the loan before accepting the loan.
During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00
Answer:
d. $240.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)
2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)
2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units
2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;
2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125
2005 selling price per unit= $240
Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240
Prosecutors representing the Securities and Exchange Commission recentlyannounced criminal charges against 13 individuals for engaging in insidertrading. According to the SECs director of enforcement, a trading ring acting on inside information compromises the marketsintegrity and investorstrust. . . . Explain why.
Answer and Explanation:
Insider trading compromises the integrity of the market because insider investors have non-public information about the stocks of the company that could very much impact the value of the stock of the company. In other words, an insider knows what the public doesn't know about a company and it allows him an unfair advantage to trade the stocks of the company using this information and make large unusual profit. This could lead to market collapse as investors are no longer encouraged to invest seeing that they can't trust that the market is transparent and trustworthy(they don't have all the important information that would affect the company)
Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk.
Expected Return Volatility
Fund A 10% 10%
Fund B 15% 22%
Fund C 6% 2%
Required:
a. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
b. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
c. Which fund would your recommend without knowing your clients risk preference?
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given point.
Explanation:
Calculate each fund's Sharpe ratio. It Fund is the best danger reward with the highest Sharpe ratio.
[tex]\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{(Fund return - \text{risk free return)}}}{Volatility}\\\\\to Fund A= \frac{(10\%-4\%)}{10\%} = 0.6\\\\\to Fund B= \frac{(15\%-4\%)}{22\%} = 0.5\\\\\to Fund C = \frac{(6\%-4\%)}{2\%}=1.0\\\\[/tex]
Fund C consequently offers the best risk-benefit. and without understanding client risk preference, we will advise Fund C for any clients. If a client wants to have a 22 percent minimum volatility, we'll nevertheless propose that Fund C instead of Fund B is available, because an investor can take risk-free rates to the degree that the total portfolio volatility stands at 22 percent and deposit it in Fund C.

Answer:
the journal entry be to record the payment
Debit : Interest expense $150
Debit : Mortgage Payable $100
Credit : Cash $250
Explanation:
When a payment for mortgage is made, we recognize the interest expense that accrues and also derecognize the part of capital repayment made for the mortgage. That means Mortgage Payable decreases, Interest expense increases and Cash account decreases with the to total of interest and principle.
A company uses return on investment (ROI) to measure the performance of its business units. The company manufactures and distributes consumer goods. Last year, management identified a possible shortage of raw materials. To mitigate this risk, a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory. As a result of this decision, ROI will A. Have an unpredictable change. B. Decrease. C. Increase. D. Not change.
Answer: B. Decrease
Explanation:
Return on investment refers to the ratio between the net income and investment. It should be noted that a high return on investment implies that the investment's gains compare favourably to the cost.
In this scenario, since a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory, this will lead to an increase in the cost of production which therefore will reduce the return in investment.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer:
The correct answer is "16.67%".
Explanation:
Given:
Dividend,
= $100 billion
Rate of return,
= 10%
= 0.10
Growth rate,
= 5%
= 0.05
Now,
Market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{Dividend}{Rate \ of\ return-Growth \ rate}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.10-0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]2000 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
After collapse,
The market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{100}{(.10-.04)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{.06}[/tex]
= [tex]1666.67[/tex] ($)
Change in market value will be:
= [tex]2000-1666.67[/tex]
= [tex]333.33 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
hence,
The percentage change in market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{333.33}{2000}[/tex]
= [tex]16.67[/tex]%

Desired ending inventory= 20% of the next month's sales.
To calculate the production for August, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 9,200 + (5,950*0.2) - (9,200*0.2)
Production= 9,200 + 1,190 - 1,840
Production= 8,550
