Answer:

$16,440.

Explanation:

Please find attached the data used in answering this question

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

the ending inventory would consist of earlier purchased goods

total sales is 20800

total purchases = 26,000

ending inventory = 26,000 - 20800 = 5200

this price of the ending inventory = 3200 x 3.2) + (2000 x 3.1) = $16,440.

Answer:

8.7%

Calculation to determine the required rate of return on the preferred stock

Using this formula

Required rate of return=Annual dividend/Price

Let plug in the formula

Required rate of return=$10.85/$125

Required rate of return=0.087*100

Required rate of return=8.7%

Therefore the required rate of return on the preferred stock is 8.7%

Answer:

You would pay approximately $35.00 today

Explanation:

The cost of the stock at the beginning of the year 20

= 20/9.75%

= 20/0.0975

= 205.13 dollars

We find the current price of the stock

= Fv/(1+r)^n

= 205.13/(1+9.75%)¹⁹

= 205.13/1.0975¹⁹

= 205.13/5.86

= $35.00

From this calculation you have to pay 35 Dollars today.

Answer:

Differences Between a Defined Contribution Pension Plan and a Defined Benefit Pension Plan.

With a defined contribution pension plan, the benefit that will accrue to the employee is not known or defined ahead of her retirement.  But the contributions that will be made by the employer and the employee to fund the pension are clearly spelt out.

With a defined benefit pension plan, the benefit (i.e. the monthly payment to the retiree) is stated ahead of the pension time.  It is based on the employee's tenure and salary.  Employees do not contribute to the plan but are entitled to lifetime monthly payments.

Explanation:

The employer and each employee contribute some certain percentages to each worker's individual retirement account (IRA) under the defined contribution pension plan.  Under the defined benefit pension plan, the employer is solely responsible for funding the plan and the employee benefits via a monthly payment from the funding plan during retirement.

Answer:

N/A

Explanation:

What is the question. There is nothing to answer.

Answer:

1a. Product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.

1b. Net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.

2a. Product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.

2b. Net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.

Explanation:

1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit.

Fixed overhead per unit = Fixed overhead for the year / Units produce for the year = $420,000 / $42,000 = $10

Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit + Fixed overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 + $10 = $82

Therefore, product cost per unit if absorption costing is used by the company is $82 per unit.

1b. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under absorption costing.

Note: See number 1b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under absorption costing.

From number 1b of the attached excel file, we have:

Net operating income = $774,000

Therefore, net operating income if absorption costing is used by the company is $774,000.

2a. Assume the company uses variable costing. Determine its product cost per unit.

Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit = $48 + $18 + $6 = $72

Therefore, product cost per unit if variable costing is used by the company is $72 per unit.

2b. Assume the company uses variable costing. Prepare its income statement for the year under variable costing.

Note: See number 2b of the attached excel file for the income statement for the year under variable costing.

From number 2b of the attached excel file, we have:

Net operating income = $694,000

Therefore, net operating income if variable costing is used by the company is $694,000.

Answer: implicit liabilities will increase.

Explanation:

Implicit liabilities are incurred by government as a result of them having to take care of their citizens. Medicaid is one such liability.

If the government were to expand the percentage of people in the country that are to be covered by medical aid, this would mean that more Medicaid will be paid by the government which means that the implicit liabilities will increase.

Answer: c) Latency between her VPN client removing encryption and making it available to the video-conferencing client is causing poor performance.

Explanation:

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to protect the identity of people online as it encrypts a person's data and uses different servers to allow them browse the web and with a different IP address from the user's original IP address that way it appears as though the user is somewhere else in the world than they actually are.

In doing this however, VPNs might give slow speeds due to the latency that develops as the VPN encrypts and decrypts data for use. In this case, the VPN latency in decrypting the video call for Consuela to see it is slowing down the speed of the Video conferencing client.

Answer:

d. 17

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Here the time started i.e. t=0

Therefore there was no customer upto t=5 hour

At t=5

The client first came and as there was no other customer available so we begins service to customer 1

Now  

As service off is 4 hour so service to client 1 will end at

t=9 hour.

Also mid-time at t = 6

That means the client 2 came and at t = 8 the  client 3 came.

Now at t = 9 the service begins for client 3 and end at t = 13 ( 9 + 4)

At t=13 hour, so after four hours it should be 17  

Answer:

the size of the company's targeted buyer group.

Explanation:

Low cost strategies are used by sellers to gain more patronage of their products. It gives them competitive advantage of having low prices and this will in turn increase sales.

The low-cost provider strategy involves a reduction in prices of all the products a company sells in all locations while still making a profut. An appeal is made to a broad market to attract customers in mass.

The focused low-cost strategy on the other hand involves cost reduction in a targeted niche. It does not appeal to the broad market but rather to a specific customer profile.

So the difference between these two strategies is the size of the company's targeted buyer group.

Answer:

If the combined firm will have a large share of the market.

Explanation:

Answer:

3%

Explanation:

The computation of the abnormal return of the stock is shown below:

= Rf + Beta (Rm - Rf)

= 15% + 1.2 (25% - 15%)

= 15% + 12%

= 27%

Now actual return is  

=[ $1.60 + ($14 - $12)] ÷ $12

= 0.3

=  30%

ANd, finally the abnormal return is  

= 30% - 27%

= 3%

Answer:

The Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is 0.3167.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as some data are omitted. The complete qustion is therefore provided before answering the question. See attached pdf file for the complete question.

Risk-free rate = Sure rate of the T-bill money market fund = 4.6%, or 0.046

Sharpe ratio of a fund = (Expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation …………. (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Sharpe ratio of Stock fund = (16% - 4.6%) / 36% = 0.3167

Sharpe ratio of Bond fund = (7% - 4.6%) / 30% = 0.08

Since Sharpe Ratio of Stock Fund (S) is higher than Sharpe Ratio of Bond Fund (B), this implies that the best option is to invest in Stock Fund (S).

Therefore, the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is 0.3167.

I would believe group A more

because, as we know "Precaution is always better an cure"

If I stay more cautious about it, there are less chances of the tsunami to cause a severe harm. If I don't stay much cautious, according to group B, and in case if their prediction goes wrong, I'll be in serious danger.

I chose group A because

even if the tsunami ain't powerful enough, I would be glad I was careful enough for it and it'll help me in future if I face another situation like this again

The consequences if I chose group B would be :

well, if I would have chose B, I won't have taken any Precautions at all

I won't have been careful enough

and in case their prediction went wrong, I would have to suffer high losses.

I hope it helps.... Have a great time ahead!

It´s important to be prepared and to have the proper training to ensure the effective use of technology in such a fast-paced technological era.

Answer:

B) 11%

Explanation:

We need to determine the total amount to invest in all the stocks in the first place as computed below:

Lowes= $28.80*1.53=$44.06

Wal-Mart=$47.90*4.17=$199.74

Intel=$19.60*5.77 =$113.09

Boeing=$75.00*0.79=$59.25

Total amount invested in the portfolio=$44.06+$199.74+$113.09+$59.25

Total amount invested in the portfolio=$416.14

Lowes' portion of the portfolio=amount invested in Lowes/total portfolio amount

Lowes' portion of the portfolio=$44.06/$416.14

Lowes' portion of the portfolio=11%

Answer: d. The market risk premium declines.

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) takes into account the cost of equity and debt which means that if either of these costs increase, the WACC will increase as well and if any decrease, WACC will follow suit.

Market risk premium is used in the calculation of the cost of equity when using CAPM in the following manner:

= Risk free rate + Beta * Market risk premium

As can be inferred from the above formula, if the market risk premium declines, a lower cost of equity will result which would then reduce the WACC as well.

a. The equilibrium price in the wholesale butter market is:

= $1.20.

b. The equilibrium quantity in the wholesale butter market is:

= 102 million pounds.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Market for Wholesale Butter

Price (dollars     Quantity of Butter     Quantity of Butter

 per pound)         Demanded                  Supplied

                      (millions of pounds)    (millions of pounds)

$0.80                      114                                  70

 0.90                       111                                  78

b) The equilibrium price and quantity are the price and quantity at which the quantity of butter demanded in the wholesale butter market equals the quantity of butter supplied in the same market. At this price of $1.20 per pound, the total quantity demanded and supplied equaled 102 million pounds of butter.  At this price and quantity, both consumers and suppliers of butter in the wholesale market go home satisfied.

Answer:

c. 42.6%

Explanation:

Average total assets = $410,000+$257,000/2

Average total assets = $667,000

Average total assets = $333,500

Net income = $112,000

Interest expenses = $30,000

Return on total assets = Net income + Interest expenses / Average total assets

Return on total assets = $112,000 + $30,000 / $333,500

Return on total assets = 0.42388060

Return on total assets = 42.39%

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

to see the income and costs of the business

Answer:

$15 per unit

Explanation:

Note "The full question is attached as picture below"

Markup = (Fixed Costs + Desired Profit) / Units produced

Markup = ($300,000 + $150,000 + $50,000) / 50,000

Markup = $500,000 / 50,000 units

Markup = $10 per unit

Variable cost per unit = Variable cost / Quantity

Variable cost per unit = ($200,000 + $50,000) / 50,000

Variable cost per unit = $5 per unit

Sales price = Variable cost + Markup

Sales price = $5 per unit + $10 per unit

Sales price = $15 per unit

So, the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method is $15 per unit.
