e. What is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory?
f. What is the total annual inventory cost, including cost of the 6,000 units?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Please find answers below

Explanation:

(a) Economic order quantity EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{2 X Annual Demand X Ordering Cost) / Carrying Cost)}[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 5,900 X 29 / 9 }[/tex]     = [tex]\sqrt{38,022.222}[/tex]

= 194.99 units  

(b) Average number of units = Economic order quantity / 2

= 194.99 / 2  

= 97.496 units    

(c) Optimal number of orders = Annual Demand / Economic order quantity

= 5,900units / 194.99 units  =30.26  

(d) Optimal number of days between two orders = Number of working days / Optimal number of orders

= 250 days / 30.26  

= 8.26  

Total ordering cost = Cost per order X Number of orders

= $29 X 30.26  

= $ 877.54

Total holding cost = Average inventory X carrying cost per unit

= 194.99 /2  X $9  

= $877.455

(e) Annual cost of ordering and holding inventorY =Total ordering cost + Total carrying cost

= $ 877.54  + $877.455

= $ 1,754.995  ≈ $1,755  

 

 

(f) Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 5900 units at $102 per unit    

= $ 877.54  + $877.455  + (5,900 x 102) = $1754.995 +601,800= $603,554.995≈$603,555

Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 6000 units at $102 per unit    

= $ 877.54  + $877.455  + (6000 x 102) = $1754.995 +612,000= $613,754.995≈$613,755

Potential output: $8 trillion Actual output: $6 trillion Actual Deficit: $ 400 billion Tax Rate: 15% What is the structural deficit in 2010

Answers

Answer:

The structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion

Explanation:

Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection  

i.e Actual deficit = G-T

T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)

$400 billion = G - (0.15)($6000 billion)

$400 billion = G - $900 billion

G =  $400 billion + $900 billion

G =  $1300 billion

Thus, Government spending is $1300 billion

Structural deficit = G - T'

T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)

T' = (0.15)(8000 billion)

T' = $1200 billion

Structural deficit = G - T'

Structural deficit = $1300 billion - $1200 billion

Structural deficit = $100 billion

Thus, the structural budget in 2010 is $100 billion

Gold Nest Company of Guandong, China, is a family-owned enterprise that makes birdcages for the South China market.

Kiley Electronics is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's IRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.

Answers

Answer:

13.31%

Explanation:

some information is missing:

Year        Cash flows

0              −$1,100

1                  $450

2                 $470

3                 $490

the easiest way to calculate the IRR is by using a financial calculator, IRR = 13.31%

but if we don't have one at hand, the IRR is the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0

1,100 = 450/(1 + r) + 470/(1 + r)² + 490/(1 + r)³

to simplify the formula we must use trial and error:

since we already know the real IRR, I will start with a close number like 10%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.1) + 470/(1 + 0.1)² + 490/(1 + 0.1)³

1,100 = 409.09 + 388.43 + 368.14

1,100 ≠ 1,165.66

since the NPV is still positive, we must increase the discount rate. following the example we can use 12%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.12) + 470/(1 + 0.12)² + 490/(1 + 0.12)³

1,100 = 401.79 + 374.68 + 348.77

1,100 ≠ 1,125.24

we must increase the discount rate even more to 13%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.13) + 470/(1 + 0.13)² + 490/(1 + 0.13)³

1,100 = 398.23 + 368.08 + 339.59

1,100 ≠ 1,105.90

we keep increasing the discount rate to 14%

1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.14) + 470/(1 + 0.14)² + 490/(1 + 0.14)³

1,100 = 394.74 + 361.65 + 330.74

1,100 ≠ 1,087.13

since now the NPV is negative, the discount rate must be between 13-14%

we continue this way until we finally reach 13.31%

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 6,547 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $160

Variable expense per unit $91.50

Fixed expense per month $429,490

Desired profit= $19,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the break-even point formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (429,490 + 19,000) / (160 - 91.5)

Break-even point in units= 6,547 units

Explanation:

118,000 cartons of machine screws

equipment cost $785,000

depreciation per year = $785,000 / 5 = $157,000

fixed manufacturing costs $415,000 per year

variable costs per carton = $10.05 x 118,000 = $1,185,900

initial investment in net working capital $68,000

CF₁ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₂ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₃ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₄ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₅ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 + $68,000 = 0.76R + $1,110,320

$853,000 = (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12 + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12² + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12³ + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12⁴ + (0.76R + $1,110,320 ) / 1.12⁵ = 0.6786R - $1,052,071.43 + 0.6059R - $939,349.49 + 0.541R - $838,704.90 + 0.483R - $748,943.66 + 0.4312R + $630,025.39

$853,000 = 2.7397R - $4,209,094.87

$5,062,094.87 = 2.7397R

R = $5,062,094.87 / 2.7397 = $1,847,682.18

total revenue = $1,847,682.18

Bailey and Sons has a levered beta of 1.10, its capital structure consists of 40% debt and 60% equity, and its tax rate is 40%. What would Bailey's beta be if it used no debt, i.e., what is its unlevered beta? a. 0.79 b. 0.67 c. 0.71 d. 0.64 e. 0.75

Answers

Answer:

Option A. 0.79

Explanation:

All we have to do is convert the levered beta into unlevered beta (100% equity financed). So we will use the following formula to find unlevered beta:

Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta /  (1   +  (1+T)* D/E)

Here,

Tax rate is 40%

Debt is 40%

Equity is 60%

And Levered Beta is 1.10

Now by putting values, we have:

Unlevered Beta =     1.10   / (1   +  (1 - 0.4)* 40% / 60%)

Unlevered Beta =     1.10  / (1 +   0.6 * .667)

Unlevered Beta =     1.10  / (1 +    0.4)

Unlevered Beta =     1.10  / (1.4)

Unlevered Beta =     0.786 which after rounding off we have 0.79

Explain how growth in the demand for​ Australia's natural resources would affect the demand for Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market. Explain how the supply of Australian dollars would change.

Answers

Answer:

The question here is that of the balance of trade and the principles of demand and supply.  

According to the Economics principles of demand and supply, when demand is high, prices follow in the same direction and the currency appreciates in value.

So, on one hand, when the demand for Australia's natural resources increases, because the legal tender recognised within Australia's borders is its own currency, trading partners are forced to convert from their currency into the Australian dollars thus creating an increased demand for the currency.

On the other hand, if the value of a countrys imports is more than the value of its export transactions, the opposite would happen, that is, its currency depreciates or loses value.

Interest rates can be measured more accurately and quickly than reserve aggregates; hence an interest rate is preferred to the reserve aggregates as a policy instrument.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is false.

In reporting reserves aggregate there are lags interest rate such as the federal interest rate are quite easy to measure and easily observable. Such short term interest rate are nominal values and they do not measure the real cost of borrowing well. It does not show accurately what happens to Gross domestic product. Real interest rate equals nominal interest rate as a ratio of reduced inflation gives a representation of true cost of borrowing.

We cannot say with certainty that interests rate is a better policy instrument based on the ground of measurability.

Calculate the payback period for each case

Answers

Answer:

Payback period=2 years 5  months

Payback period=3 years  8 months

Explanation:

The payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes  .

It is the number of years it takes the cash project to break-even

a) Payback period

Total cash flow for two years = 750×  2 = 1500.000

Balance of cash flow required to make up= 1800000- 1500,000  300,000

Payback period = 2 years + 300,000/750,000× 12 months=  2 years 5  months

Payback period=2 years 5  months

b) Payback period

Total cash flow for 3 years = 450,000 + $225,000 +600,000=1,275 ,000

Balance o cash required to make up 1800,000 = 1,800,000 -1275,000= 525,000

Pay back period = 3 years + 525,000/750,000×  12 months

                            = 3 years  8 months

Payback period=3 years  8 months

Computer Corp. just paid a dividend of $0.75. If the firm's growth in dividends is expected to remain at a flat 3 percent forever, then what is the cost of equity capital for Computer Corp. if the price of its common shares is currently $12.00

Answers

Answer:

9.44%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of the cost of equity capital is shown below:-

Cost of equity capital = Dividend × (1 + Expected rate of return) ÷ Common shares + Expected rate of return

Now, we will put the values into the above formula.

= ($0.75 × (1.03) ÷ $12) + 0.03

= 0.0944

or

= 9.44%

Therefore for computing the cost of equity we simply applied the above formula.

An assembly line with 17 tasks is to be balanced. The longest task is 2.4 minutes, and the total time for all tasks is 18 minutes. The line will operate for 450 minutes per day.Required:a. What are the minimum and maximum cycle times? b. What range of daily output is theoretically possible for the line? c. What is the minimum number of workstations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought?d. What cycle time will provide an output rate of 125 units per day?

Answers

Answer

a)Minumum cycle time = 2.4 Minutes And Maximum cycle time = 18 Minutes

b)=187.5 units per day and 25 units per day

c) 8 workstation

d)2.6min/cycle

Explanation:

Given:

output rate = 125 units per day

Operating time= 450 minutes per day

What are the minimum and maximum cycle times?

Minimum Cycle time = duration of the longest task

Therefore,Minimum cycle time = 2.4 minutes

Maximum cycle time = addition of the task

Maximum Cycle Time = 18 minutes

Therefore, Minumum cycle time = 2.4 Minutes And Maximum cycle time = 18 Minutes

B)B)What range of daily output is theoretically possible for the line?

Range of daily output = Operating time / minimum Cycle time

At 2.4 minutes Cycletime

= 450/2.4

=187.5 units per day

At Cycle time 18 Minutes

= 450/18

Cycle time 18 minutes = 25 units per day

C)What is the minimum number of workstations needed if the maximum output rate is to be sought?

number of workstation=(D× summation of all task)/Operating time

number of workstation=(187.5*18)/450

= 7.5= 8 workstation

D)What cycle time will provide an output rate of 125 units per day?

cycle time= Operating time/output rate

=450/125

= 2.6min/cycle

Mr. Dow bought 100 shares of stock at $17 per share. Three years later, he sold the stock for $23 per share. What is his annual rate of return

Answers

Answer:

10.60%

Explanation:

The compound annual growth rate formula stated below can be used to determine the annual rate of return on the stock investment.

CAGR=(future value/present value)^(1/n)-1

future value is the future worth of the stock after three years i.e100*$23=$2300

Present value is the initial cost of the stock which is 100*$17=$1700

n is the number of years the stocks have been owned

CAGR=($2300/$1700)^(1/3)-1=10.60%

Ben can object to this assignment and prevent it because the contract between Ben and Edna is a(n):

Group of answer choices.

A. contract for services to be performed in the future.

B. contract involving personal skill.

C. services contract.

D. employment contract.

Answer:

B. contract involving personal skill.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Edna a leading brain surgeon in the United States enters into a contract to perform a complicated brain surgery on Ben. However, Edna is very busy and wants to assign this contract to a less experienced surgeon, Charles which would be his first operation of this type. Hence, Ben can object to this assignment (brain surgery) and prevent it because the contract between Ben and Edna is a contract involving personal skill.

Apparently, it can be deduced that Edna has competent and professional skills which is the reason why she's the leading brain surgeon in USA. Ben having this information at his disposal chose to go into the contract with Edna, who is an experienced brain surgeon. Therefore, the contract between the two (2) parties is solely based on Edna's personal skill.

Norris Co. has developed an improved version of its most popular product. To get this improvement to the market, will cost $48 million and will return an additional $13.5 million for 5 years in net cash flows. The firm's debt-equity ratio is .25, the cost of equity is 13 percent, the pretax cost of debt is 9 percent, and the tax rate is 30 percent. What is the net present value of this proposed project?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $1.49  million

Explanation:

The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

But we will need to work out the discount rate to be used for discounting the cash flows. Hence, we need to determine the cost of capital as follows:

Step 1: After-tax cost of debt

After tax cost of debt = pre-tax cost of debt × (1-tax rate rate)

                                 = 9%× (1--0.3)=6.3%

Step 2 : Weighted Average cost of capital (WACC)

WACC=( 0.25×6.3%) + (0.75× 13%) =11.325 %

Step 3:Net Present Value (NPV)

PV of cash inflow= (1- (1.11325^-5)/0.11325)× 13.5 = 49.49  million

Initial cost = $48 million

NPV = 49.49  million -  $48 million  =$1.49  million

NPV = $1.49  million

Answers

A company stocks an SKU with a weekly demand of 600 units and a lead time of 4 weeks. There are 52 weeks in a year. Management will tolerate 1 stock out per year. If sigma for the lead time is 100 and the order quantity is 2500 units, what is:  the safety stock, the average inventory, and the order point?

Answer:

The safety stock = 142 units

The average inventory = 1392 units

The order point = 2542 units

Explanation:

Given that:

the weekly demand = 600 units

lead time = 4 weeks

sigma for the lead time (i.e the standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] ) = 100 units

Order quantity = 2500 units

The objective is to calculate :

the safety stock, the average inventory, and the order point?

To start with the number of order per year.

The number of order per year = Annual demand/Order quantity

The number of order per year =  (Weekly demand × 52)/ Order quantity

The number of order per year =  (600 × 52)/2500

The number of order per year =  31200/2500

The number of order per year = 12.48 times /year

Also, the service level for the safety factor = (Number of order per year - 1)/ number of order per year

the service level for the safety factor = ( 12.48 - 1)/12.48

the service level for the safety factor = 11.48/12.48

the service level for the safety factor = 0.9199

the service level for the safety factor = 91.99%

∴ the safety factor at 91.99% service level = (safety factor at (90% +94%))÷2

the safety factor at 91.99% service level = (1.28 +1.56) ÷2

the safety factor at 91.99% service level = 2.84 ÷2

the safety factor at 91.99% service level = 1.42

Now,

the safety stock = 100 × safety factor at 91.99% service level

the safety stock = 100 × 1.42

the safety stock = 142 units

The order point = safety factor +  demand during lead time

where;

The demand during lead time = weekly demand × 4

The demand during lead time = 600  × 4

The demand during lead time = 2400 units

The order point = safety factor +  demand during lead time

The order point = 142 +  2400

The order point = 2542 units

Finally,

The average inventory = (order quantity ÷ 2) + safety stock

The average inventory = (2500 ÷ 2) + 142

The average inventory =1250 +142

The average inventory = 1392 units

"Net income for the period was $200,000. The retained earnings account had a beginning balance of $25,000. If the company paid dividends of $20,000 during the year, what is the ending balance in retained earnings?"

Answers

Answer:

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings at the end = Retained earning at the beginning + Net income - Dividend paid

The net income would increase the balance of the retained earnings hence it is added to it.

The Dividend paid would be a cash outflow which would reduce the balance of the retained earnings, hence it is deducted from it.

So applying this to the question, we have

Retained earning balance at the end would be:

25,000 + 200,000 - 20,000 = $205,000

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

A firm issues $300 million in straight bonds at an original issue discount of 0.50% and a coupon rate of 7%. The firm pays fees of 2.0% on the face value of the bonds. The net amount of funds that the debt issue will provide for the firm is closest to which of the following?
A)$248,625,000
B)$263,250,000
C)$277,875,000
D)$292,500,000

Answers

Answer: $292,500,000

Explanation:

The following information can be derived from the question:

Issued bond = $300

Issue discount = 0.50%

Coupon rate = 7%.

Fees paid = 2.0%

The net amount of funds that the debt issue will provide for the firm will be:

= Issued bond price - Discount - Fees paid

= $300m - ($300m × 0.50%) - ($300m × 2.0%)

= $300m - $1.5m - $6m

= $300m - $7.5m

= $292.5 Million

the answer is this true

A firm is using experience curve pricing when it prices high worldwide in an attempt to position itself as a market leader is a false statement.

What is experience curve pricing?

Pricing for Experience Curve is Depending on the company's level of expertise in creating the goods, the price is set. Every time a corporation doubles its expertise in creating a product, the cost of selling that product or service drops by 10% to 30%.

A business can use less time and resources or produce products more effectively as it gains experience. As a result, it may provide a lower price since costs are reduced.

The pricing of a product at a lower than average-cost level on the theory that costs will reduce as manufacturing expertise improves allows the product to become cheaper as it continues through the product life cycle.

Answers

Answer:

The Federal Reserve has been at times biased in favor of the financial industry, because they have often put inflation targeting above the need to reduce unemployment when executing monetary policy. Besides, the financial industry has often been rescued by massive loans from the Fed.

However, the Federal Reserve has also acted in favor of reducing unemployment, specially during recessions, by expanding the money supply through a policy known as quantitative easing.

In conclusion, we can say that the Fed tends to be biased in favor of the financial industry, but not at all times.
