A machine operates with the following production cycle: 34 minutes of setup, 70 minutes of production. While in production, the machine produces 3 parts per minute. What is the capacity of the machine in parts per minute

Answers

Answer:

The capacity of the machine is 3 parts per minunte

Explanation:

First calculate the total time

Total time = Setup time + Production time

Total time = 34 minutes + 70 minutes

Total time = 104 minutes

Calculate the total units

Total Units = Production per minute x Total Time

Total Units = 3 parts per minutes x 104 minutes

Total Units = 312 parts

Now calculate the parts per minute

Parts per minute = Total Units / Total Time

Parts per minute = 312 parts / 104 minutes

Parts per minute = 3 parts per minunte

Item Original Price Discount (Dollars) $15.00 Off 40% Off (Dollars) (Dollars) A music box$75 $ $ A faux Ming vase$60.00 $ $ Suppose a friend of yours wants to buy a crystal candlestick. You remember seeing this item at both Annie's Attic and Betty's Breakables, but you do not remember the price. What advice should you give your friend in this situation

Answers

Answer:

Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5

Explanation:

Annie's attic offers $15 off any purchase

Betty breakables offers 40% off any purchase

For both stores

Music box = $75 ( non discounted price )  

Faux Ming vase = $60 ( non discounted price )

Discounted prices for Music box

For Annie's attic = 75 - 15 = $60

For Betty breakables = 75 - ( 40% * 75 ) = $45

Discounted prices for Faux Ming vase

For Annie attic = 60 - 15 = $45

For Betty breakables = 60 - ( 40% *60 ) = $36

lets assume the price of the Crystal candle to be x

we will buy from betty breakables If 40% of x > $15 discount offered by Annie's

40/ 100 * x > 15

x > 100/40 * 15

x > 37.5

Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5

Answers

Answer:

the total factor productivity (TFP) increase as a result of 2017 operations is 12.5%

Explanation:

The computation of the total factor productivity (TFP) increase as a result of 2017 operations is given below;

The Unit produced in 2016 is

= $20,000,000 x $0.09

= 1,800,000

Now

Total factor productivity increase for the year 2017 is

= (1,800,000 - 1,600,000) ÷ 1,600,000

= 12.5%

Hence, the total factor productivity (TFP) increase as a result of 2017 operations is 12.5%

Freedom Co. purchased a new machine on July 2, 2019, at a total installed cost of $49,000. The machine has an estimated life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $6,600. Required: Calculate the depreciation expense for each year of the asset's life using: Straight-line depreciation. Double-declining-balance depreciation. How much depreciation expense should be recorded by Freedom Co. for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, under each method

Answers

Answer:. See explanation

Explanation:

1. The depreciation under the straight line method will be calculated as:

= ( cost - salvage value)/no of years

= (49000 - 6600)/5

= $42400/5

= $8480 per year

2. Using the Double-declining-balance depreciation, the depreciation will be calculated thus:

Double declining rate = 8480/42400 × 2 = 40%

Yr 1: beginning book value = $49000

Depreciation rate = 40%

Depreciation = $49000 × 0.4 = $19600

Ending book value = $29400

Yr 2: beginning book value = $29400

Depreciation rate = 40%

Depreciation = $29400 × 0.4 = $11760

Ending book value = $17640

Yr3: beginning book value = $17640

Depreciation rate = 40%

Depreciation = $17640 × 0.4 = $7056

Ending book value = $10584

Yr4: beginning book value = $10584

Depreciation rate = 40%

Depreciation = $3884 Savage value

Ending book value = $6700

Consolidated Corporation,a U.S.firm,wishes to participate,but limit its involvement,in Middle Eastern markets.Consolidated empowers Doha Ltd. ,an Egyptian firm,to enter into contracts in certain countries on behalf of Consolidated.This is:________
A) a distribution agreement.
B) an agency relationship.
C) indirect exporting.
D) direct exporting.

Answers

Answer:

B) an agency relationship.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

In this scenario, Consolidated (principal) empowers Doha Ltd., an Egyptian firm to enter into contracts in certain countries on behalf of Consolidated. Thus, this is an agency relationship.

An agency relationship can be defined as a mutual relationship existing between two parties, wherein a principal authorizes the agent to act as the principal's representative or on his behalf (fiduciary role) in dealing with third parties.

Basically, Consolidated is the principal based on the agency relationship while Doha Ltd. is considered to be an agent and as such is authorized or empowered to enter into contracts in certain countries on behalf of Consolidated.

A deposit of $90 is placed into a college fund at the beginning of every week for 5 years. The fund earns 3% annual interest, compounded weekly, and paid at the end of the week. How much is in the account right after the last deposit

Answers

Answer:

$25,249.50

Explanation:

Deposit at the beginning of every 6 month (A) = 90

Time period (t) = 5

n = 52

Rate (r) = 3% = 0.03

So, the net amount in the account right after the last deposit is as follows:

= A * [(1+r/n)^(n*t) - 1 / r/n] * (1 + r/n)

= 90 * [(1+0.03/52)^(52*5) - 1 / 0.03/52] * (1 + 0.03/52)

= 90 * [(1.16178399147 - 1 / 0.000577] * (1+0.000577)

= 90 * 280.3882 * 1.000577

= 25249.498559226

= $25,249.50

Answer:

Explanation:

The value of the initial deposit is $90, so a1=90. A total of 260 weekly deposits are made in the 5 years, so n=260. To find r, divide the annual interest rate by 52 to find the weekly interest rate and add 1 to represent the new weekly deposit.

r=1+0.0352=1.00057692308

Substitute a1=90, n=260, and r=1.00057692308 into the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series and simplify to find the value of the annuity.

S260= 90(1−1.00057692308260) / 1−1.00057692308 ≈25238.31

Therefore, to the nearest dollar, the account has $25,238 after the last deposit is made.

The bonds mature October 31, 2041 (20 years). Interest is paid semiannually on April 30 and October 31 and is determined using the effective interest method. Required: 1. What amount of interest expense related to the bonds will LHD report in its income statement for the year ending December 31, 2021

Answers

Answer:

Lake Hamilton Development (LHD)

The amount of interest expense related to the bonds will LHD report in its income statement for the year ending December 31, 2021 is:

= $4,422.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

November 1, 2021

Face value of bonds issued = $500,000

Bonds issue price =                    442,215

Discounts on bonds =                $57,785

Maturity period = 20 years on October 31, 2041

Interest rate on the bonds = 5% paid semiannually

Interest payment dates = April 30 and October 31

Effective interest rate = 6%

For the two months of 2021:

Interest Payable =       $4,167 ($500,000 * 5% * 2/12)

Discount amortization $255 ($4,422 - $4,167)

Interest Expense =    $4,422 ($442,215 * 6% * 2/12)

4. Repurchase transactions allow a firm to buy back stock that may be needed to fulfill obligations when employees exercise their stock options. This saves the costs associated with issuing new shares.

Explanation:

Dividends and stock repurchase are two methods of distributing net earnings by a company.  Both methods reduce the equity balance by decreasing the Retained Earnings, which are components of the Stockholders' Equity. Stock repurchase is usually embarked upon by management when it wants to reduce the number of outstanding shares, increase both the demand for the shares and the price, and boast the Earnings Per Share.

The government has imposed a fine on the Imperial Company. The fine calls for annual payments of $100,000, $250,000, and $250,000, respectively over the next three years. The first payment is due one year from today. The government plans to invest the funds until the final payment is collected and then donate the entire amount, including investment earnings, to a national health center. The government will earn 3.5% on the funds held. How much will the national health center receive three years from today

Answers

Answer: $615,872.50

Explanation:

The amount the National Health Center will receive is the sum of the future values, 3 years from now, of the annual payments of the fines.

Future value of $100,000 paid 1 year from today:

= 100,000 * (1 + 3.5%)²

= $107,122.50

Future value of $250,000 paid 2 years from now:

= 250,000 * (1 + 3.5%)

= $258,750

Future value of $250,000 paid 3 years from today:

= $250,000

Total is:

= 107,122.50 + 258,750 + 250,000

= $615,872.50

An investment opportunity requires a payment of $910 for 12 years, starting a year from today. If your required rate of return is 6.5 percent, what is the value of the investment to you today

Answers

Answer:

PV= $7,424.44

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual payment (A)= $910

Number of periods (n)= 12 years

Rate of return (i)= 6.5%

To calculate the value of the investment today (PV), we need to use the following formula:

PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}

PV= 910*{(1/0.065) - 1/ [0.065*(1.065^12)]}

PV= $7,424.44

Shelton Company has the following account balances at year-end:
Accounts receivable $140,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts 7,200
Sales discounts 4,800
Shelton should report accounts receivable at a net amount of:__________
a. $120,000.
b. $ 12,800.
c. $1 08,000.
d. $115,200

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the above information, Shelton should report the account receivable at a net amount as computed below;

= Accounts receivables - Allowance for doubtful account

Accounts receivables = $140,000

Allowance for doubtful account = $7,200

= $140,000 - $7,200

= $132,800

Therefore, account receivables at a net amount is $132,800
