HighLife Corporation has the following information: Average demand = 30 units per day Average lead time = 40 days Item unit cost = $45 for orders of less than 400 units Item unit cost = $40 for orders of 400 units or more Ordering cost = $50 Inventory carrying cost = 15 percent The business year is 300 days. Standard deviation of demand during lead time = 90 Desired service level = 95 percent What is the EOQ if HighLife pays $45/unit? Due to possible differences in rounding, choose the closest answer.\
Answer:
365.15 units
Explanation:
The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
where,
Annual demand is
= 30 units × 300 days
= 90,000 units
ordering cost is $50
Carrying cost is
= $45 × 15%
= $6.75
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the economic order quantity is
[tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{90,000}\times \text{\$50}}{\text{\$6.75}}}[/tex]
= 365.15 units
We simply applied the above formula so that the EOQ could come
You are considering two ways of financing a spring break vacation. You could put it on your credit card, at 17% APR, compounded monthly, or borrow the money from youe parents, who want an interest payment of 6% every six months. which is the lower rate? (Dont round intermediate steps to decimal places)
Answer: Parent's rate is lower.
Explanation:
The lower rate will be the lower Effective Annual rate, the formula of which is;
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1[/tex]
Credit Card
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1[/tex]
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1\\= ( 1 + \frac{0.17}{12})^{12} - 1\\= 0.184[/tex]
= 18.4%
From your parents
[tex]EAR = (1 + interest rate/compounding frequency) ^{compounding frequency} - 1\\= ( 1 + 0.07) ^{2} - 1\\= 0.1449[/tex]
= 14.5%
Parent's rate is lower.
The before-trade domestic price of tomatoes in the United States is $500 per ton. The world price of tomatoes is $400 per ton. The U.S. is a price-taker in the tomatoes market.
If trade in tomatoes is allowed, the United States:______
a) will experience increases in both consumer surplus and producer surplus.
b) may become either an importer or an exporter of tomatoes, but this cannot be determined.
c) will become an exporter of tomatoes.
d) will become an importer of tomatoes.
Answer:
d) will become an importer of tomatoes.
Explanation:
Consumer surplus would increase because the price at which they buy tomatoes would reduce while producer surplus would reduce because the price of tomatoes would reduce as a result of international trade.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.Because the price of tomatoes in the US is greater than the price of tomatoes in the world, when the US begins international trade, it would import tomatoes because it is inefficient in the production of tomatoes.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Och, Inc., is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $1.75 million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target debt-equity ratio of .8, a cost of equity of 11.5 percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of 4.3 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project?
Answer:
$18,191,268.19
Explanation:
the company's WACC = (weight of equity x Re) + (weight of debt x after tax cost of debt) = (0.6 x 11.5%) + (0.4 x 4.3%) = 6.9% + 1.72% = 8.62%
discount rate adjustment factor = 8.62% + 3% = 11.62%
to determine the value of the project:
$1,750,000 / (11.62% - 2%) = $1,750,000 / 9.62% = $18,191,268.19
If the initial outlay is $18,191,268.19, then the project's NPV = $0. This is the maximum amount that the firm should be willing to invest in this project.
All of the following actions by a custodian in an account opened under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act are permitted except:_______.
A. donating funds to the account to make additional investments
B. withdrawing funds from the account for the custodian's use
C. managing the investments in the account with the objective of generating enough income for college tuition
D. selling securities in the account to generate proceeds for other investments
Answer: B. withdrawing funds from the account for the custodian's use
Explanation:
Under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, the Custodian's duty is to manage the account for the minor and allocate the assets within in such a way that it will bring about the best returns for the minor.
Custodians should not abuse this power for their own benefit or gain which is why the custodian withdrawing funds from the account for their own use is a violation of the act.
Explain how you would value a stock. Provide an example of a valuation of a stock based on retrieved real data. Include evidence of the retrieved data in your answer. Compare your valuation with the actual price of the stock at the designated time for your valuation.
Answer with Explanation:
There are numerous stock valuing models but here, I will use Dividend Valuation Model which is based on finding the intrinsic value of Stock which is the present value of the stock at a required rate of return. The formula to calculate Intrinsic value of stock is given as under:
P0= D0 * (1 + g) / (ke - g)
Here
P0 is the intrinsic value of the stock
D0 is the dividend just paid
g is the growth rate
ke is the investor's required rate of return
The model doesn't holds if the company doesn't pays Dividend.
Now suppose that the Dividend just paid by Apple is $20 per stock. The anticipated growth rate of dividend is 10% and the required rate of return is at 15%.
By putting values in the above equation, we have:
P0= $20 * (1 + 10%) / (15% - 10%)
= $20 / (15% - 10%)
= $400 per share
The value of stock of Apple is $400 per share which must be its fair market value as per the Dividend Valuation Model.
As per the model, if the value of stock is higher as per dividend valuation model then we must purchase the stock as it will generate higher value and vice versa. The inherent limitation of the model is that it assumes that the dividend is growing at constant rate and is consistently paid. The main disadvantage of Dividend valuation model is that it doesn't account for political factors, economical factors, evolving business risks, technological factors, etc.

Lead time for one of your fastest-moving products is 24 days. Demand during this period averages 110 units per day. a) What would be an appropriate reorder point? nothing units (enter your response as a whole number). b) How does your answer change if demand during lead time doubles? nothing units (enter your response as a whole number). c) How does your answer change if demand during lead time drops in half? nothing units (enter your response as a whole number).
Answer:
a.) reorder point = 2,640 units
b.) reorder point = 5,280 units (reorder point doubles)
c.) reorder point = 1,320 units (reorder point drops in half)
Explanation:
Reorder point is the inventory level (point) at which action is taken (order placed) to replenish the stocked item. It is calculated as follows:
Reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock
Lead time = 24 days
average daily sales = 110 units
safety stock = 0 (not given)
a.) reorder point = (Lead time × average daily sales) + safety stock
reorder point = (24 × 110) + 0 = 2,640 units
b.) if demand during lead time doubles:
lead time = 24 days
average daily sales = (110 × 2) = 220
∴ reorder point = 220 × 24 = 5,280 units
Therefore the reorder point doubles
c.) if demand during lead time drops in half:
lead time = 24 days
average daily demand = (110 ÷ 2) = 55 units
∴ reorder point = 24 × 55 = 1,320 units
Therefore the reorder point drops in half.
Sam has contracted with Dave to purchase Dave's racing bike, with payment and delivery of the bicycle to be made 10 days after the contract was made. Three days later Sam hears that Dave is going to sell the bike to Gene in three days at a higher price. If Sam really wants the bike, what should he do? Multiple Choice Immediately seek injunctive relief. Immediately sue for specific performance. Immediately sue for compensatory damages. Immediately sue for consequential damages.
Answer: Immediately seek injunctive relief.
Explanation:
An injunctive relief is an order by the court stopping an action from taking place. From the question, we are told that Sam has contracted with Dave to buy Dave's racing bike, with payment and delivery of the bicycle to be made 10 days after the contract was made.
We are further told that three days later Sam hears that Dave is going to sell the bike to Gene in three days at a higher price. If Sam really wants the bike, he should seek injunctive relief. By doing so, the court will stop Dave from selling the bike to Gene.

If a bank that faces a 10% reserve ratio received a deposit of $50,000 and makes a loan to a customer for $5,000, what is the consequence if the bank then deposits the rest of the funds at the Federal Reserve?
Answer:
Excess reserve increases by $40,000
Required reserve increases by $5,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the reserve, we need to multiply the Deposit received by a required reserve ratio.
DATA
Reserve ratio = 10%
Deposit received = $50,000
Loan to customer = $5,000
Solution
Reserve = Deposit x Required reserve ratio
Reserve = $50,000 x 10%
Reserve = $5,000
After providing a $5,000 loan to the customer and keeping $5,000 as a reserve remaining $40,000 would be deposited in the Federal Reserve.

Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 70 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 25 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 11 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 5 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 7 percent. The relevant tax rate is 35 percent. What is Mullineaux WACC
Answer:
Mullineaux Corporation
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital):
WACC = (11% of 70%) + (5% of 5%) + (7% of 25%) (1 - 35%)
= 0.077 + 0.0025 + 0.0175(65%)
= 0.09087
= 9.1%
Explanation:
Target Capital Structure:
Common stock = 70%
Preferred stock = 5%
Debt = 25%
Total = 100%
Cost of:
Equity = 11%
Preferred stock = 5%
Debt (pretax) = 7%
Tax rate = 35%
Mullineaux's WACC is the weighted average cost of its capital sources, including equity and debt. It means that Mullineaux Corporation has to weigh each class of capital based on their capital structure weights in order to calculate the average. This WACC therefore represents the hurdle rate which a project must meet for Mullineaux Corporation to accept or reject the project.
At an output level of 53,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 3.21. If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be? Suppose fixed costs are $175,000. What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units? The degree of operating leverage? that the degree of operating
Answer:
If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be?
24.23%What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units?
$45,613.84The degree of operating leverage (at 46,000 units)?
4.84Explanation:
degree of operating leverage = [quantity x (price - variable costs)] / {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs}
degree of operating leverage x {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs} = [quantity x (price - variable costs)]
3.21 x {[53000 x (contribution margin)] - fixed costs} = [53000 x (contribution margin)]
(3.21 x 53000 x contribution margin) - (3.21 x 175000) = 53000 x contribution margin
let C = contribution margin
170130C - 561750 = 53000C
117130C = 561750
C = 561750 / 117130 = 4.795953
operating cash flow (at 53,000) = (53,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $79,185.52
operating cash flow (at 57,000) = (57,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $98,369.32
% change = ($98,369.32 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = 24.23%
operating cash flow (at 46,000) = (46,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $45,613.84
% change in operating cash flows = ($45,613.84 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = -43.4%
% change in sales = (46,000 - 53,000) / 53,000 = -13.21
degree of operating leverage = $220,613.84 / $45,613.74 = 4.84
The simple rate of return is also called all of the following except ________. annual rate of return unadjusted rate of return accounting rate of return

You purchased 1,000 shares of stock in Natural Chicken Wings, Inc., at a price of $43.37 per share. Since you purchased the stock, you have received dividends of $.95 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a price of $46.62 per share. What was your total percentage return on this investment?
Answer:
9.68%
Explanation:
Percent Return on Investment is calculated as Net Profit / Cost of Investment x 100
Net Profit= $46,620 (1,000 x $46.62 per share) + $950 (1,000 x $.95 per share) - $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share) = $4,200
Cost of Investment= $43,370 (1,000 x $43.37 per share)
Percent Return on Investment= $4,200 / $43,370 x 100 = 9.68%
What is the present value of a perpetuity that pays you annual, end-of-year payments of $950? Use a nominal rate (monthly compounding) of 7.50%.
Answer:
The present value of the perpetuity is $12,242.27.
Explanation:
A perpetuity is an annuity that provide cash flow for an infinite period .Examples are Non -redeemable Preference Share.
Present Value (perpetuity) = Payments ÷ Required Rate
But, first change the 7.50 % nominal rate to Annual Effective Rate to match the period of Cash flow.
Effective Rate = (1 + r / m)^m - 1
= ( 1 + 0.0750 / 12) ^12 -1
= 7.76%
Therefore, Present Value (perpetuity) = $950 ÷ 7.76%
= $12,242.27
At the certain interest rate, present value (PV) is the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows.
The discount rate determines the present value of the cash flows, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the current value of future cash flows.
The present value of the perpetuity is $12,242.27.
A perpetuity is an annuity that payments out during an indefinite period of time. Non-redeemable Preference Share is an example.
Present Value (perpetuity) = [tex]\frac{\text{Payments}}{\text{Required Rate}}[/tex]
However, to match the Working capital period, change a 7.50 percent nominal rate to a Yearly Effective Tax rate.
[tex]\text{Effective Rate} = (1 + \frac{r}{m} )^m - 1= [1 + \frac{0.0750}{12}]^{12} -1= 7.76\%[/tex]
Therefore, Present Value (perpetuity)= [tex]\frac{\$950}{7.76\%} = $12,242.27[/tex]

1. Discuss how core factors, cues to quality, and interpersonal factors of a product influence your buying decisions. Discuss with supporting examples.
Explanation:
Interpersonal product feature play a role in determining one's buying decision. For example, an individual who is open to new experiences may be more likely to try a new technology.
Another example is that of an individual who has a negative view of how he or she looks or dresses, he or she may tend to seek and buy products that could enhance how they feel about themselves.

But someone who has the time and has been planning to buy an item for months, will more likely examine quality before he makes a buying decision.
What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model
Complete Question:
What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model? The company plans to pay an annual dividend of of $4.12 per share in one year. The expected annual growth rate of the dividend is 12.9%, and the required rate of return for the stock is 16.63%. Answer as a percentage, 2 decimal places (e.g., 12.34% as 12.34).
Answer:
12.9%
Explanation:
As we know that:
Capital Gain Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Step 1: Find P0
Po = D1 / (Ke - g)
Here
D1 is $4.12 per share
Ke is 16.63%
g is 12.9%
By putting values, we have:
Po = $4.12 / (16.63% - 12.9%)
= $110.46
Step 2: Find P1
P1 = D2 / (Ke - g)
Here
D2 = D1 * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.12 per share * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.65
Ke is 16.63%
g is 12.9%
By putting values, we have:
Po = $4.65 / (16.63% - 12.9%)
= $124.70
Step3: Find Annual Capital Gain Yield
Capital Gain Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Now by putting values, we have:
Capital Gain Yield = ($124.7 - $110.46) / $110.46
= 12.9%

A firm is currently producing 3,000 units of output daily by employing 20 units of labor at a price of $100 per unit and 40 units of capital at a price of $40 per unit. The marginal product of the last unit of labor employed is 50, and the marginal product of the last unit of capital employed is 30. In order to minimize its production costs, the firm should do which of the following?
a. Employ more labor and less capital because the marginal product of labor is greater than the marginal product of capital.
b. Employ less labor and more capital because the firm is currently spending $2,000 on labor and only $1,600 on capital.
c. Employ more labor and less capital because the firm already employs 40 units of capital and only 20 units of labor.
d. Employ less labor and more capital because the marginal product per dollar spent on labor is less than the marginal product per dollar spent on capital.
e. Employ less labor and more capital because a unit of labor costs $100 while a unit of capital costs only $40.
Answer:
e. Employ less labor and more capital because a unit of labor costs $100 while a unit of capital costs only $40.
Explanation:
By employing less labor and more capital, the firm can produce the 3,000 units of daily output at lower production costs since 40 units of capital cost $40 per unit, than it can with 20 units of labor priced $100 per unit. Capital can, therefore, minimize the total production costs, as less labor is used. Capital resources are often in the form of equipment and technological advancement that make work easier, faster, and more efficient with the highest quality possible.
Based on the marginal products of labor and capital, the company should d. Employ less labor and more capital because the marginal product per dollar spent on labor is less than the marginal product per dollar spent on capital.
The company should invest more in the method of production that gives it more marginal product per unit.
Marginal product per unit of labor:
= Marginal product of labor / cost of labor
= 50 / 100
= 0.5 per unit
Marginal product per unit of capital:
= 30 / 40
= 0.75 per unit
Capital has more marginal product per unit and so should be invested in more than labor.

Two investment advisors are comparing performance. Advisor A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5 and Advisor B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which advisor was the better stock picker?
Answer:
Advisor A
Explanation:
t bill rate = 0.05
market rate = 0.13
the beta of the market is always 1
the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1
= 0.13
which is 13%
this is for advisor A.
with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta
0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5
= 27.5% for advisor b
when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2
0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2
= 17%
Therefore advisor a is better
