Part E14 is used by M Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 19,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 4.10 Direct labor $ 8.70 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 9.20 Supervisor's salary $ 4.60 Depreciation of special equipment $ 3.00 Allocated general overhead $ 8.20 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.50 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part E14 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $31,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part E14 from the outside supplier should be:
Answer: ($24100)
Explanation:
The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company goes thus:
The relevant cost to produce will be:
= ($4.10 × 19,000) + ($8.70 × 19,000) + ($9.20 × 19,000) + ($4.60 × 19,000) + $31,000
= $77900 + $165300 + $174800 + $87400 + $31000
= $536,400
The relevant costs to buy will be:
= 19,000 × $29.5
= $560,500
Since the relevant cost to buy is more than the relevant cost to produce, then the financial disadvantage will be:
= $560500 - $536,400
= $24,100
The answer is ($24,100)

Leelanau applies overhead using a predetermined rate. What amount of overhead was applied to work in process last year
Answer:
$138,500
Explanation:
The computation of the overhead applied is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning WIP + Total manufacturing costs - Ending WIP
$323,000 = $10,500 + Total manufacturing costs - $19,000
So,
Total manufacturing costs is
= ($323,000 + $19,000 - $10,500)
= $331,500
Now
Total manufacturing costs is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overheads
So,
Overheads is
= ($331,500 - $115,000 - $78,000)
= $138,500

One year ago, Richard purchased $1,260 worth of Double GG Corporation common stock for $42 per share. During the year, Richard received two dividend payments, each equal to $.05 per share. The current market value of the stock is $44 per share. What yield did Richard earn on his investment during the year
Answer:
Yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Number of shares purchased = Worth of common stock one year ago / Price per share one year ago = $1,260 / $42 = 30 shares
Total dividend received during the year = Number of shares purchased * Dividend per share * 2 = 30 * $0.05 * 2 = $3
Current worth of common stock = Number of shares purchased * Current market value per share = 30 * $44 = $1,320
Yield earned during the year = (Current worth of common stock - Worth of common stock one year ago + Total dividend received during the year) / Worth of common stock one year ago = ($1,320 - $1,260 + $3) / $1,260 = 0.05, or 5%
Therefore, yield earned by Richard on his investment during the year is 5%.
The strategic plan of a solar energy company that manufactures high-efficiency solar cells includes an expansion of its physical plant in 4 years. The manager in charge of planning estimates the expenditure required to be $1.17 million in 4 years. The company plans to sets aside $1 million now into an account that earns interest equal to the rate of inflation. What will the inflation rate have to be in order for the company to have exactly the right amount of money for the expansion?
a) 4%
b) 2%
c) Unknown
d) 6%
Answer:
The answer is "Option a".
Explanation:
Given:
FV=1.17
PV=1
n=4
We are aware of a future value formula that is:
[tex]FV = PV\times (1 + i)^n[/tex]
Put the value into the above formula:
[tex]\to 1.17 = 1\times (1 + i)^{4}\\\\\to 1.04 = (1 + i)\\\\\to 1.04 -1 = i\\\\\to i=0.04\\\\[/tex]
Calculating the percentage of i= 4%
Therefore The rate of interest is equivalent to the inflation rate, which is projected predicted, according to global meta and experts, The Us will reach 5.70 percent even by conclusion of the this year. In the future, we anticipate that the inflation rate in the US is 3.20 in twelve months.

Hammond Lumber has just changed from prefabricating 8 gazebos to 10 gazebos (units). Their total costs changed from $9,500 to $11,000. What is the marginal cost for Hammond Lumber?
Answer:
MC = 750
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Initial quantity = 8
Final quantity = 10
Initial total cost = $9500
Final total cost = $11000
Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity
Change in total cost = 11000 - 9500 = 1500
Change in quantity = 10 - 8 = 2
Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity
MC = 1500 / 2
MC = 750

1. Sharon, a newly engaged woman, saw an advertisement in a bridal magazine for a beautiful pearl necklace priced at $69.99 from Precious Jewelry. She thought the necklace would be a wonderful present for her bridesmaids, so she ordered 5 necklaces from Precious Jewelry. After a few weeks, Sharon received a letter, along with her returned check from Precious Jewelry. The letter stated that the jeweler was sorry they could not fill her order because they had been overwhelmed with so many requests that their supply of necklaces ran out very quickly
Question Completion:
a. List the 3 elements of an offer and describe each (in your own words).
b. Did Precious Jewelry make an offer when they placed the ad in the magazine? Did Sharon make an offer when she placed the order? Why or why not?
c. What will be the likely outcome if Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order? Explain your answer.
Answer:
a. The three elements of a valid offer are Communication, Commitment, and Definite Terms. Communication of an offer should be between the offeror and the offeree and not with the general public. Commitment in an offer requires that the two parties are identified and are committed to the exchange of offer and acceptance. Definite terms means that the terms of the offer must be clear and well-understood by the involved parties.
b. Precious Jewelry did not make an offer when it placed the ad in the magazine. The ad was an invitation to offer. Sharon was the party that made the offer when she ordered for the jewelries. It was then left for Precious Jewelry to accept or reject the offer.
c. If Sharon sues Precious Jewelry to force them to fill her order, she does not have the locus standi because there is no basis for the existence of a contract between Sharon and Precious Jewelry since Sharon's offer was not accepted by Precious Jewelry and there was no consideration.
Explanation:
For a valid contract to exist between Sharon and Precious Jewelry, the five elements of a contract must be present. They include valid offer, acceptance, mutual consent (or assent), consideration, and legality (including capacity).
Pottery Ranch Inc. has been manufacturing its own finials for its curtain rods. The company is currently operating at 100% of capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 61% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make a pair of finials are $4 and $5, respectively. Normal production is 26,400 curtain rods per year.
A supplier offers to make a pair of finials at a price of $13.30 per unit. If Pottery Ranch accepts the supplier’s offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $40,400 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the finials will have to be absorbed by other products.

Incremental Analysis
Make Buy Incremental
Production costs:
Variable manufacturing costs per unit:
Direct materials per unit $4.00
Direct labor per unit $5.00
Variable manufacturing per unit $3.05
Total variable manufacturing costs $12.05 $13.30 $1.25
Annual units of curtain rods 26,400 26,400 26,400
Variable manufacturing costs $318,120 $351,120 $33,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production capacity = 100%
Variable manufacturing overhead = 61% of direct labor cost
Direct materials per unit = $4
Direct labor per unit = $5
Variable manufacturing per unit = $3.05 (61% of $5)
Total variable manufacturing cost per unit = $12.05
Normal production per year = 26,400 units
Total variable manufacturing costs = $318,120 ($12.05 * 26,400)
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $40,400
If the price per unit were doubled at the same time that the variable cost per unit was doubled, the break-even point would be:
Answer:
halved
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Assume fixed cost is initially 1000 units, price is 10, variable cost is 5
breakeven quantity = 1000 / (10 - 5) = 200
assume price per unit were doubled at the same time that the variable cost per unit was doubled
1000 / ( 20 - 10) = 100
breakeven point is halved

In June 2007 General Motors (GM) posted a price-earnings ratio of 9.84. If
the price of the stock at that time was $36 per share, which of the following
must have been true?
a. GMâs earnings per share was 3.66.
b. GMâs coupon payment was $35 per year.
c. GMâs dividend yield for the year was 26%.
d. GMâs revenues that month were $366 million.
Answer:
General Motors (GM)
If the price of the stock at that time was $36 per share, the true statement is:
a. GM's earnings per share was 3.66.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price-earnings ratio = 9.84
Market price of stock at that time = $36 per share
Earnings per share = Market price per share/Price-earnings ratio
= $36/9.84 = 3.659
= $3.66
Check:
Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share/Earnings per share
= 9.84 ($36/$3.66)
Calculating the Cost of Equity. Suppose stock in Lululemon Corporation has a beta of 0.80. The market risk premium is 10 percent and the risk-free rate is 2 percent. What is Lululemon's cost of equity capital?
Calculating the WACC. In addition to the information in the previous problem, suppose Boone has a target debt-equity ratio of 50 percent. Its cost of debt is 8 percent, before taxes. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the WACC?
Answer:
Cost of equity capital can be found by the Capital asset pricing model:
Cost of capital
= Risk free rate + beta * market premium
= 2% + 0.8 * 10%
= 10%
Weighted Average Cost of Capital:
= (weight of debt * after tax cost of debt) + (weight of stock * cost of stock)
= (50% * 8% * ( 1 - 34%)) + (50% * 10%)
= 10.28%
describe five ways in which contract management might adds value after the contract award stage of the sourcing process.
Answer:
The five ways for contract management are:
1 - how buyer and supplier work after contract has been awarded.
2 - Key decisions made.
3 - Risk of misunderstanding and disagreement.
4 - Identify opportunities and improve performance.
5 - Performance evaluation against KPIs.
Explanation:
Contract management is essential for any business to succeed. There are five ways in which contract management will add value after contract award stage. Usually value addition is achieved by the response of buyer and seller towards the services after the contract has been awarded. There should be right individuals involved in decision making process. The performance should be evaluated against the KPI mentioned in the contract. If both supplier and buyer work with mutual understanding there is very less chance for disagreement and value will be added to the contract performance.

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price
0.2 =5% / percentage change in price
percentage change in price = 5/0.2 = 25%
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.
Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Supply is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity supplied.

Suppose the black market shrinks because firms shift to the formal sector, but production remains the same. GDP
Answer: will increase but this will not affect living standards
Explanation:
GDP is sometimes called an incomplete measure because there are certain measures that it does not include such as the black market.
If firms in the black market shift to the formal sector, they will now be included in GDP which means that GDP will increase.
The living standards of people in the country will probably not change however because the firms involved were simply shifting sectors and are not said to be more or less prosperous as a result. Assuming they remained the same, nothing changes for living standards.
4. You want to take out a fully-amortizing 30-year mortgage. You can afford monthly payments of $600 each. The interest rate is 9%. How much money can you borrow?
Answer: $74569
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount that can be borrowed is explained below:
Present value of annuity will e calculated as:
= 600 × [1-(1+0.09/12)^-(12 ×30)] / (0.09/12)
= 600 × [1-(1+0.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075
= 600 × 1-(1.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075
= 600 × [1-0.0678860074] / 0.0075
= 600 × 124.282
= 74569
The amount that can be borrowed is $74569
Other things equal, diversification is most effective when Group of answer choices Securities returns are uncorrelated. Securities' returns are high. Both securities' returns are positively correlated and securities' returns are high. Securities' returns are positively correlated. You hold equal proportions of each security in a portfolio.
Answer:
Securities returns are uncorrelated.
Explanation:
Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio
Non systemic risk are risks that can be diversified away. they are also called company specific risk. Examples of this type of risk is a manager engaging in fraudulent activities.
Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.
1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases.
For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price
When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping
2. Negative correlation : it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases.
For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price
When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping
3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables
In order to achieve the highest benefit of diversification, there should be no relationship between the assets in the portfolio

Consider the following information: Portfolio Expected Return Beta Risk-free 5 % 0 Market 10.6 1.0 A 8.6 0.9 a. Calculate the expected return of portfolio A with a beta of 0.9. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the alpha of portfolio A. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. If the simple CAPM is valid, is the above situation possible?
Answer:
a. Expected return of portfolio A = 10.04%
b. Alpha of portfolio A = 1.44%
c. No, the above situation is NOT possible. This is because return as per CAPM and expected return have different values. Therefore, we say that CAPM is NOT valid.
Explanation:
Given:
Portfolio Expected Return Beta
Risk-free 5 % 0
Market 10.6 1.0
A 8.6 0.9
a. Calculate the expected return of portfolio A with a beta of 0.9. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Expected return of portfolio A = Return as per CAPM = Risk free rate + (Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)) = 5% + (0.9 * (10.6% - 5%)) = 10.04%
b. What is the alpha of portfolio A. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Alpha of portfolio A = Return as per CAPM - Expected return = 10.04% - 86% = 1.44%
c. If the simple CAPM is valid, is the above situation possible?
No, the above situation is NOT possible. This is because return as per CAPM and expected return have different values. Therefore, we say that CAPM is NOT valid.
If the amount of beachfront land in Malibu supplied to the market remains the same even when the price of beachfront land in Malibu increases, the:_________.
a. demand for beachfront land in malibu must be perfectly inelastic,
b. supply of beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly elastic.
c. demand for beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly elastic.
d. supply of beachfront land in Malibu must be perfectly inelastic.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
Supply is perfectly inelastic if a small change in price has no effect on quantity supplied
