Answer:
A. Margin 14.75%
Turnover 0.46 times
ROI 6.85%
B. ROE 12.17%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the margin, turnover, and ROl for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Calculation for MARGIN
Using this formula
Margin=Net income/Sales
Let plug in the formula
Margin=$38,340/$260,000
Margin=0.1475*100
Margin=14.75%
Calculation for TURNOVER
Using this formula
Turnover=Sales /Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
Turnover=$260,000/$560,000
Turnover=0.46 times
Calculation for ROI
Using this formula
ROI=Net income/Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
ROI=$38,340/$560,000
ROI=0.0685*100
ROI=6.85%
Therefore the margin is 14.75%, turnover is 0.46 times and ROl is 6.85% for the year ended December 31, 2016.
B. Calculation to determine the ROE for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Using this formula
ROE=Net income /Average total stockholders' equity
Let plug in the formula
ROE=$38,340/$315,000
ROE=0.1217*100
ROE=12.17%
Therefore the ROE for the year ended December 31, 2016 is 12.17%

This newer organizational design is designed to be highly flexible so that resources can be configured quickly to respond to changing demands. c) Hierarchical organization e) Heterarchies d) Matrix organization a) Up time organization b) Social networked organization
Answer:
Newer organizational design, designed to be highly flexible so that resources can be configured quickly to respond to changing demands is:
Social networked organization.
Explanation:
The network structure, which is a newer type of organizational structure, uses less hierarchies. It is more “flat,” more decentralized, and more flexible than other organizational structures. In a social networked structure, managers coordinate and control internal and external relationships of the firm, and workers work in project teams to pursue and achieve the goals of their entity.
Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $16,000 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2
Answer:
Missing word "Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $120,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $10,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use."
Total Cost of Land and Building (100%) = $120,000
Cost of Land (70%) = $84,000
Cost of Building (30%) = $36,000
Cost of Building Renovations = $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $36,000 + $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $46,000
1. Annual Depreciation(Year End Depreciation) = (Cost of Building - Residual Value)/ Number of Year
Annual Depreciation = $46,000 - $16,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $30,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $3,000
2. Book Value of Land at the end of two years = $84,000
Book Value of Building at the end of two years = $46,000 - ($3,000*2 year) = $46,000 - $6,000 = $40,000
Hence, Book Value of Land and Building at the end of two year is = $84,000 + $40,000 = $124,000
Use this information for Mason Corporation to answer the question that follow. Mason Corporation had $1,114,000 in invested assets, sales of $1,281,000, income from operations amounting to $209,000, and a desired minimum return of 15%. Round your answer to two decimal places. The investment turnover for Mason Corporation is a.1.38 b.1.15 c.1.72 d.0.92
Answer:
b.1.15
Explanation:
The computation of the investment turnover is shown below:
= Sales ÷ average operating assets
= $1,281,000 ÷ $1,114,000
= 1.1499
= 1.15
hence, the investment turnover is 1.15
Therefore the option b is correct

Fones Inc. and Speed Dial Corp. are two competitors in the mobile phone market. The cost incurred by each company to manufacture smartphones is $200 per unit. Although both the companies sell their smartphones at the same price, Speed Dial Corp. has a larger market share in the smartphone industry. What does this imply
Answer: C. Speed Dial Corp has been able to offer more perceived value than Fones Inc.
Explanation:
Both companies incur the same costs to produce the phone and also sell at the same price. This means that they should be selling the same number of phones in theory. This is not the case however as Speed Dial Corp is selling more.
The reason Speed Dial must be selling more phones is that they sell a better phone for the same price. In offering more value to the customer for the same price, the customers are buying more from Speed Dial than from Fones because they are getting a better deal for the same price which means that Speed Dial's phone is undervalued.

Cultural sensitivity
Learn about the other organizations' traditions.
ability to operate in a fast-paced, unpredictably changing workplace
Create a productive team.
Develop a sense of trust
All of these elements are equally crucial for the project's worldwide success.
The initiatives that are held at a worldwide level are more difficult.
The first step in the control process is ________. A) setting the desired morals
B) measuring actual performance
C) comparing performance against expectations D) applying managerial control

Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,100 light fixtures (units) at $9 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 8,500 units at $11.00 each. This level represents 85% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $8.50 per unit, which includes $6.50 variable cost and $2.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,200 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order
Answer:
Minor Electric
The company should accept the special order. It makes a unit contribution of $1.41, which amounts to $1,551 in total.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order received for light fixtures = 1,100 units
Price of special order = $9 per unit
Production and sales units = 8,500 = 85% capacity
Total capacity = 10,000 units (8,500/0.85)
Selling price at production and sales units = $11.00 each
Production costs per unit = $8.50
Variable cost per unit = $6.50
Fixed cost per unit = $2
Cost of new machine required for special order = $1,200
Special order costs:
Variable cost per unit = $7,150 ($6.50 * 1,100)
Cost of new machine = 1,200
Total relevant costs = $8,350
Unit cost = $7.59 ($8,350/1,100)
Selling price = $9.00
Contribution per unit = $1.41

Suppose an American buys stock issued by an Argentinian corporation. The Argentinian firm uses the proceeds from the sale to build a new office complex. This is an example of foreign investment in Argentina. Which of the following policies are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries?
a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
b. Give families cash payments on the condition that their children show up for school and medical exams.
c. Increase taxes on income from savings.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Answer:
a. Foreign Portfolio Investment
b. a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.
d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.
Explanation:
This is an example of Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). Foreign portfolio investment is when an entity from a foreign country invests in another country by buying the shares of a company in the local country. The American company bought shares in Argentina so the qualifies as FPI.
To increase productivity companies that are pursuing research should be given patents and tax breaks. The tax breaks will enable them have more money to reinvest into the research and the patent will provide incentive to them to continue the research knowing full well that they will be compensated by being the only ones to be able to use the technology invented for some time.
Also protecting property rights and enforcing contracts encourages investment in a country because people will be more trusting of making a return from business dealings. Higher investment leads to more productivity and growth.

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.
answer :
3.02 million, 2.96 million, 2.91 million
Explanation:
Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period
swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount
For year 1
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2
= 3.02 million
For year 2
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million
= 2.96378 million
For year 3
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 2.90733 million

The following labor standards have been established for a particular product:
Standard labor hours per unit of output 4.4 hours
Standard labor rate $16.70 per hour
The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month:
Actual hours worked 5,200 hours
Actual total labor cost $87,360
Actual output 1,100 units
Required:
a. What is the labor rate variance for the month?
b. What is the labor efficiency variance for the month?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. Labor rate variance for the month
= (SR - AR) × AH
= ($16.70 - ($87,360/5,200 hours)) × 5,200
= ($16.70 - $16.8) × 5,200
= $520 Unfavourable
b. Labor efficiency variance
= (SH - AH) × AR
(4.4 × 1,100) - 5,200) × $16.70
= (4,840 - 5,200) × $16.70
= $6,012 Unfavourable
East Valve Distributors distributes industrial valves and control devices. The Eastern control device has an annual demand of 9,375 units and sells for $100 per unit. The cost of ordering is $40 per order and the average carrying cost per unit per year is $0.75. Determine the economic order quantity.
Answer:
1000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 9375
Holding cost, H = 0.75
Cost per order, S = 40
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]
EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]
EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]
EOQ = √1000000
EOQ = 1000

A company projects an increase in net income of $108000 each year for the next five years if it invests $900000 in new equipment. The equipment has a 5-year life and an estimated salvage value of $300000. What is the annual rate of return on this investment?
a. 20.5%
b. 31.0%
c. 30.0%
d. 30.8%
Answer:
18 %
Explanation:
Annual rate of return on this investment = annual profit / average investment x 100
where,
annual profit = $108000
average investment = (initial cost + salvage value) ÷ 2
= ($900000 + $300000) ÷ 2
= $600,000
therefore,
annual rate of return on this investment = $108000 / $600,000 x 100
= 18 %

You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83
Answer:
$1,394,509.68
Explanation:
Savings amount = $5200
Period = 36 years
Interest = 9.54 percent
We solve for the future value of the annuity
= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x 268.1749
= 1,394,509.681 dollars
Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.
