Answer:
Not enough information
Explanation:
from this question, this mayor has only given us the estimated proportion of the rate of unemployment for these months. In order to know if it is significant or not, we have to carry out other tests such as the hypothesis testing for the population proportion. But here we do not have any sample data or population data with which we can use to test this significance. The sample size is unknown so we cannot proceed to test if the claim is significant or not.
Tori Inc. has some material that originally cost $68,800. The material has a scrap value of $30,300 as is, but if reworked at a cost of $1,500, it could be sold for $31,600. What would be the incremental effect on the company's overall profit of reworking and selling the material rather than selling it as scrap? (CIMA adapted)
a. $(71,100)
b. $(1,100)
c. $29,800
d. $(40,200)
Answer:
($200)
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What would be the incremental effect on the company's overall profit of reworking and selling the material rather than selling it as scrap
Sales value of reworked material: $31,600
Less: Cost to rework material: $1,500
Net Sales Value: $30,100
Current Scrap Value: $30,300
Net Disadvantage: ($200)
($30,100-$30,300)
Therefore What would be the incremental effect on the company's overall profit of reworking and selling the material rather than selling it as scrap is ($200)

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Project A
Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = $20,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $20,000 + $8,600 = 28,600
I = 16%
NPV = $-32775.48
Project B
Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = $68,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $68,000 + $110,000 = $178,000
I = 16%
NPV = $185,710.69
Project B should be chosen because its NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

Waggoner Company has a cash balance of $44,000 on April 1. The company is required to maintain a cash balance of $25,000. During April expected cash receipts are $174,000. Expected cash disbursements during the month total $200,800. During April the company will need to borrow:____.
a. $2,500.b. $3,500.c. $4,000.d. $6,000.
Answer: $7,800
Explanation:
The amount that the company needs to borrow can be found using the formula:
= Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash to be maintained - Cash disbursement
= 44,000 + 174,000 - 25,000 - 200,800
= -$7,800
Amount to be borrowed is the shortfall of $7,800

Dianne Ruth withdrew $8,000 from her educational savings account and used $6,000 to pay for qualified higher education expenses. The remaining balance of $2,000 was used to purchase clothes. On the date of the distribution, her educational savings account had $25,000 balance including $20,000 she had contributed.
How much of the $8,000 is tax free?
Answer:
$7,600
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much of the $8,000 is tax free
Step 1 is to calculate the % using this formula
%=Savings ratio ROC Contributed/Total balance
Let plug in the formula
%=$20,000/$25,000
%= .80*100
%=80%
Step 2 is to calculate the ROC tax free using this formula
ROC tax free=% x Distribution
Let plug in the formula
ROC tax free=.80x 8000
ROC tax free=$6,400
Step 3 is to Contained earnings in distribution using this formula
Contained earnings in distribution=Distribution - ROC tax free
Let plug in the formula
Contained earnings in distribution=$8,000-$6,400
Contained earnings in distribution= $1,600
Step 4 is to calculate Excludable earning using this formula
Excludable earning=(Qualified exp/distribution ) x Earning contained
Let plug in the formula
Excludable earning=($6,000/$8,000) x $1,600
Excludable earning= $1,20/
Step 5 is to calculate the Taxable amount using this formula
Taxable =Earnings - Excludable
Let plug in the formula
Taxable=$1,600-$1,200
Taxable =$400
Now let determine the Tax free using this formula
Tax free = Distribution- Taxable
Let plug in the formula
Tax free=$8,000- $400
Tax free=$7,600
Therefore How much of the $8,000 is tax free will be $7,600
Use this information for Mason Corporation to answer the question that follow. Mason Corporation had $1,114,000 in invested assets, sales of $1,281,000, income from operations amounting to $209,000, and a desired minimum return of 15%. Round your answer to two decimal places. The investment turnover for Mason Corporation is a.1.38 b.1.15 c.1.72 d.0.92
Answer:
b.1.15

The computation of the investment turnover is shown below:
= Sales ÷ average operating assets
= $1,281,000 ÷ $1,114,000
= 1.1499
= 1.15
hence, the investment turnover is 1.15
Therefore the option b is correct
The same should be considered and relevant
Solar Innovations Corporation bought a machine at the beginning of the year at a cost of $31,000. The estimated useful life was five years and the residual value was $3,000. Assume that the estimated productive life of the machine is 10,000 units. Expected annual production was year 1, 2,000 units; year 2, 3,000 units; year 3, 2,000 units; year 4, 2,000 units; and year 5, 1,000 units.
Required:
a. Which method will result in the highest net income in year 2?
b. Does this higher net income mean the machine was used more efficiently under this depreciation method?
Answer:
Straight line depreciation
no
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(31,000 - 3000) / 5 = $5,600
depreciation expense each year is 5600
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(3000 / 10,000) x (31,000 - 3000) = 8400
Double declining =
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
2/5 x 31000 = 12400
year 2 = 2/5 x(31,000 - 12400) = 7440
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,100 light fixtures (units) at $9 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 8,500 units at $11.00 each. This level represents 85% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $8.50 per unit, which includes $6.50 variable cost and $2.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,200 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order
Answer:
Minor Electric
The company should accept the special order. It makes a unit contribution of $1.41, which amounts to $1,551 in total.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order received for light fixtures = 1,100 units
Price of special order = $9 per unit
Production and sales units = 8,500 = 85% capacity
Total capacity = 10,000 units (8,500/0.85)
Selling price at production and sales units = $11.00 each
Production costs per unit = $8.50
Variable cost per unit = $6.50
Fixed cost per unit = $2
Cost of new machine required for special order = $1,200
Special order costs:
Variable cost per unit = $7,150 ($6.50 * 1,100)
Cost of new machine = 1,200
Total relevant costs = $8,350
Unit cost = $7.59 ($8,350/1,100)
Selling price = $9.00
Contribution per unit = $1.41

Suppose the U.S. yield curve is flat at 3% and the euro yield curve is flat at 5%. The current exchange rate is $1.4 per euro. What will be the swap rate on an agreement to exchange currency over a 3-year period
Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question.
answer :
3.02 million, 2.96 million, 2.91 million
Explanation:
Determine the swap rate over a 3-year period
swap rate = forward exchange rate * exchange amount
For year 1
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 ) * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 ) * 2.2
= 3.02 million
For year 2
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^2 * 2..2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^2 * 2.2 million
= 2.96378 million
For year 3
1.4 * ( 1 + 0.03 / 1 + 0.05 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 1.4 ( 0.98095 )^3 * 2.2 million
= 2.90733 million

Exercise 9-15A (Static) Using the current ratio to make comparisons LO 9-7 The following information was drawn from the balance sheets of the Kansas and Montana companies: Kansas Montana Current assets $ 59,000 $ 78,000 Current liabilities 40,000 43,000 Required a. Compute the current ratio for each company. b. Which company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills
Answer:
a. 1.5 and 1.8
b. Montana
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the current ratio:
a. Formula used, Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current ratio of Kansas = 59000 / 40000 = 1.5
Current ratio of Montana = 78000 / 43000 = 1.8
b. The company that has a higher current ratio will have a greater likelihood to pay bills so Montana is the correct answer.
You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83
Answer:
$1,394,509.68
Explanation:
Savings amount = $5200
Period = 36 years
Interest = 9.54 percent
We solve for the future value of the annuity
= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x 268.1749
= 1,394,509.681 dollars
Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.

Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $16,000 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2
Answer:
Missing word "Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $120,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $10,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use."
Total Cost of Land and Building (100%) = $120,000
Cost of Land (70%) = $84,000
Cost of Building (30%) = $36,000
Cost of Building Renovations = $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $36,000 + $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $46,000
1. Annual Depreciation(Year End Depreciation) = (Cost of Building - Residual Value)/ Number of Year
Annual Depreciation = $46,000 - $16,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $30,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $3,000
2. Book Value of Land at the end of two years = $84,000
Book Value of Building at the end of two years = $46,000 - ($3,000*2 year) = $46,000 - $6,000 = $40,000
Hence, Book Value of Land and Building at the end of two year is = $84,000 + $40,000 = $124,000
Birmingham Bolt, Inc., has been approached by one of its customers about producing 800,000 special-purpose parts for a new home product. The customer wants 100,000 parts per year for eight years. To provide these parts, Birmingham would need to acquire a $500,000 new production machine. The new machine would have no salvage value at the end of its eight-year life. The customer has offered to pay Birmingham $7.50 per unit for the parts. Birmingham’s managers have estimated that, in addition to the new machine, the company would incur the following costs to produce each part:
Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable 2.00
Total $6.50
In addition, annual fixed out-of-pocket costs related to the production of these parts would be $20,000.
a. Compute the net present value of the machine investment, assuming that the company uses a discount rate of 9 percent to evaluate capital projects.
b. Based on the NPV computed in (a), is the machine a worthwhile investment? Explain.
c. In addition to the NPV, what other factors should Birmingham’s managers consider when making the investment decision?
Answer:
Birmingham Bolt, Inc.
a. The net present value of the machine investment = ($57,214.47).
b. Based on the computed NPV in (a), the machine is not a worthwhile investment. Birmingham will lose $57,214.47 from the investment.
c. In addition to the NPV, the other factors that Birmingham’s managers should consider when making the investment decision are:
1. the probability of reducing the variable costs per unit of production by achieving productivity efficiencies.
2. whether the price could be reviewed upward with the customer.
3. whether there will be increased demand for the product in the future.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special-purpose parts for a new home product = 800,000 parts
Annual requirement of the parts = 100,000
Period of contract = 8 years
Discount rate = 9%
Initial investment in production machine = $500,000
Price offer per part = $7.50
Annual sales revenue from parts = $750,000
Variable costs;
Direct labor $2.00
Direct material $2.50
Variable $2.00
Total $6.50 $650,000
Contribution margin $100,000
Annual fixed costs $20,000
Annual net cash inflow $80,000
PV of annual cash inflows = $442,785.53
NPV = ($57,214.47) ($442,785.53 - $500,000)
N (# of periods) 8
I/Y (Interest per year) 9
PMT (Periodic Payment) 80000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PV = $442,785.53
Sum of all periodic payments = $640,000.00
Total Interest = $197,214.47
