Answer:
Option c: The product line's segment margin
Explanation:
Net Operating Income
This is often regarded as the
adjusted Effective Gross Income (EGI) adjusted for annual operating expense and capital expenditures of a firm/organization
Net Operating Income Equation
(sales - variable expenses) - fixed expenses
Segment margin
The product line segment margin is usually said to be obtainable through the act of deduction of the traceable fixed costs of a segment from the segment's contribution margin. It shows or entails the margin at hand after a segment has covered all of its own costs. Itis the best gauge of the long-run profitability of a segment as it includes only those costs that are caused by the segment.
Segment margin formula
Contribution Margin - Traceable fixed costs
In recent years, rules have tightened such that those who work for the U.S. government in trade negotiations are now restricted from working for lobbyists for foreign firms. Take the stance of either for or against that statement. Provide justification for your stance.
Answer: For this statement.
Explanation:
People will generally offer their loyalties to those who pay them the highest or who pay them at all and companies will typically be loyal to their country of origin.
What this means is that trade negotiators who work for lobbyists of foreign firms will typically want to advance the interests of the foreign firms when negotiating trade deals for the U.S. government.
This presents a problem because the foreign companies might want to negotiate a deal that favors their own countries over the United States so if trade negotiators that are on their side are the ones negotiating for the United States, the U.S. might not get a good enough deal.
Imagine for instance, a person negotiating a trade deal for the U.S. with China but the person works for lobbyists of Huawei. It is reasonable to assume that the person would want to advance the interests of China on behalf of Huawei. Restricting such a person from negotiating for the U.S. reduces such a possibility.
A tremendous flood along the Mississippi River destroys thousands of factories, reducing the nation's capital stock by 5%. What happens to current employment and the real wage rate
Answer:
Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease
Explanation:
Given that the capital stock of a nation or country jas a direct impact on such country in terms of savings and investments which directly translates to additional.economic development.
Hence, in this case, when a tremendous flood along the Mississippi River destroys thousands of factories, reducing the nation's capital stock by 5%. What happens to current employment and the real wage rate is that "Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease"
This because there won't be adequate money available to create more employment. And with lease employment opportunities than the available labor, the real wage rate tends to decrease over time.

The bakery uses an average of 1,215 bags a year. Preparing an order and receiving a shipment of flour involves a cost of $10 per order. Annual carrying costs are $75 per bag.
Required:
a. Determine the economic order quantity. (Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Economic order quantity bags
b. What is the average number of bags on hand? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Average number of bags
c. How many orders per year will there be? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of orders per year
d. Compute the total cost of ordering and carrying flour.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a. The economic order quantity is
= sqrt ((2 × annual demand × ordering cost) ÷ carrying cost)
= sqrt ((2 × 1,215 × $10) ÷ $75)
= 18 units
b) Average number of bags on hand is
= EOQ ÷ 2
= 18 ÷ 2
= 9
c) Orders per year is
= D ÷ EOQ
= 1215 ÷ 18
= 67.5
= 68
d) Total cost = Total carrying cost+ Total ordering cost
= (Q ÷ 2)H +(D ÷ Q)S
= (18 ÷ 2)75 + (1215 ÷ 18) × 10
= 675 + 675
= $1350
Bell Corporation reports that at an activity level of 8,700 units, its total variable cost is $653,109, and its total fixed cost is $658,416.
Required: For the activity level of 8,800 units, assume this level is within the relevant range. Compute: the total variable cost, the total fixed cost, the total cost, the average variable cost per unit, the average fixed cost per unit, and the average total cost per unit.
There is not a word length requirement for this question; however, you must show your work.
Answer:
Bell Corporation
The total variable cost is = $660,616
The total fixed cost is = $658,416
The total cost is = $1,319,032
The average variable cost per unit is = $75.07
The average total cost per unit is = $149.89
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current activity level = 8,700 units
Variable cost based on the current activity level = $653,109
Unit variable cost = $75.07 ($653,109/8,700)
Fixed cost = $658,416
At activity level of 8,800 units, since 8,800 units are within the relevant range:
The total variable cost = $660,616 (8,800 * $75.07)
The total fixed cost = $658,416 (same as at 8,700 units)
The total cost = $1,319,032 ($660,616 + $658,416)
The average variable cost per unit = $75.07 ($653,109/8,700)
The average total cost per unit = $149.89 ($1,319,032/8,800)

Waiting period. Upstate University currently has a 6 comma 000 -car parking capacity for faculty, staff, and students. This year, the university issued 4 comma 356 parking passes. The number of parking passes issued has been growing at a rate of 6 % per year. How long will it be before the university will need to add parking spaces?
Answer: 5.5 years
Explanation:
The 6,000 parking capacity is the future value of the number of parking passes and the 4,356 is the present value.
Using the future value formula, you can find the number of periods it would take:
Future value = Present value * (1 + rate) ^ n
(1 + rate)^ n = Future value / Present value
n = In (Future value / Present value) / In ( 1 + r)
= In (6,000 / 4,356) / In ( 1 + 6%)
= 5.495 years
= 5.5 years

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.

Using cost behavior patterns MFG Company experiences the following cost behavior patterns each week: Fixed costs: supervisor’s salary $1,600; factory rent $3,700 Mixed costs: utilities $2,100 + $6.75 per unit Variable costs per unit: manufacturing labor wages $23.00; supplies used in production $10.00; packaging cost $3.75; warranty cost $4Required:Compute total costs to be incurred for a week with 2,750 units of activity.
Answer:
Total cost= $138,025
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed costs:
supervisor’s salary $1,600
factory rent $3,700
Mixed costs:
utilities $2,100 + $6.75 per unit
Variable costs per unit:
manufacturing labor wages $23.00
supplies used in production $10.00
packaging cost $3.75
warranty cost $4
Units produced= 2,750
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= 2,750*(6.75 + 23 + 10 + 3.75 + 4)
Total variable cost= $130,625
Now, the total fixed cost:
Total fixed cost= 1,600 + 3,700 + 2,100
Total fixed cost= $7,400
Finally, the total cost:
Total cost= 130,625 + 7,400
Total cost= $138,025

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 %
bartleby Clayborn Corporation's net cash provided by operating activities was $118,800; its net income was $106,100; its income taxes were $46,900; its capital expenditures were $96,300; and its cash dividends were $30,200. Required: Determine the company's free cash flow. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer: -$7,700
Explanation:
The Free Cash Flow is the amount of after tax income that a company has that can go to both its shareholders and debt holders.
When using cash from operating activities, taxes have already been accounted for so it is calculated as:
= Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditure - Cash Dividends
= 118,800 - 96,300 - 30,200
= -$7,700
You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 13% and a standard deviation of 44%. The rate on Treasury bills is 6.6%. Your client chooses to invest $90,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $60,000 in a T-bill money market fund. What is the expected return and standard deviation of return on your client’s portfolio? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the expected return and the standard deviation is given below:
the expected return is
= $90,000 × 13% + $60,000 × 6.6%
= $15,660.00
And,
standard deviation of return is
= $90,000 × 13% × 44% + $60,000 × 6.6%
= $5,148 + $3,960
= $9,108.00
In this way it should be calculated

The effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement will be calculated thus:
Interest Paid will be:
= 9% × $21 million
= 0.09 × $21 million
= $1.89 million
Amount Received will then be:
= (21million - 1.89million) - (21million)(0.02)
= $19.11 million - $0.42 million
= $18.69 million
Then, the effective annual rate will be:
= 1.89/18.69
= 10.11%
Therefore, the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement is 10.11%.
