Answer:
a.385 stones
b.349 stones
c.168 stones
Explanation:
Order quantity that minimizes total annual cost is known as the Economic Order Quantity.
Economic Order Quantity = √(2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
= √(2×28×110×$48) / $2
= 384.5 or 385 stones
Economic Order Quantity = √(2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
= √(2×28×110×$48) / ($8.10 × 30%)
= 348.8 or 349 stones
Re-oder point is the point at which the order should be placed to obtain additional inventories
Reorder Point = Lead Time × Usage
= 6 days × 28 stones
= 168 stones
Tobitzu TV produces wall mounts for flat panel television sets. The forecasted income statement for 2015 is as follows:
TOBITZU TV Budgeted Income Statement For the Year 2015
Sales ($49 per unit) $4,900,000
Cost of good sold ($32 per unit) (3,200,000)
Gross profit 1,700,000
Selling expenses ($4 per unit) (400,000)
Net income $1,300,000
Additional Information:
a. Of the production costs and selling expenses, $600,000 and $100,000, respectively, are fixed.
b. Tobitzu TV received a special order from a hospital supply company offering to buy 12,000 wall mounts for $30. If it accepts the order, there will be no additional selling expenses, and there is currently sufficient excess capacity to fill the order. The company's sales manager argues for rejecting the order because "we are not in the business of paying $32 to make a product to sell for $30."
Required:
Calculate the net benefit (cost) of accepting the special order.
Answer:
$48,000 net benefit
Explanation:
For computing the net benefit or net cost for accepting the special order first we need to find out the variable cost of goods sold per unit which is shown below:
The variable cost of goods sold is
= total cost of goods sold - fixed production costs
= $3,200,000 - $600,000
= $2,600,000.
Now
Total units produced is
= Total revenue ÷ selling price per unit
= $4900000 ÷ 49
= 1,00,000 units.
So, variable cost of goods sold per unit is
= $2,600,000 ÷ 1,00,000
= $26 per unit.
Therefore the net benefit or cost arises is
= (Revenue generated from the special order) - (variable cost of goods sold)
= (12,000 × $30) - (12,000 × $26)
= $48,000 net benefit
An investor purchases one municipal bond and one corporate bond that pay rates of return of 7% and 8.4%, respectively. If the investor is in the 15% tax bracket, his after-tax rates of return on the municipal and corporate bonds would be, respectively, _____.
Answer:
After-Tax return on Municipal Bond = 7%After-Tax Return on Corporate Bond = 6.72%Explanation:
The main advantage that Municipal Bonds usually carry with them is that they are tax-exempt. As no taxes are paid on them, there is no need to calculate an after-tax return because it is the same as a pre-tax return.
After-Tax return on Municipal Bond = 7%
The Corporate Bond is subject to tax based on the holder's tax bracket.
After-Tax Return on Corporate Bond = 8.4 % * ( 1 - 20%)
After-Tax Return on Corporate Bond = 6.72%
Considering taxes, the Municipal Bond is better.
Suppose peanut butter is an inferior good for Ilya and the price of peanut butter rises. What will happen to Ilya's consumption of peanut butter
Answer:
The substitution effect will cause a decrease in the consumption of peanut butter and the income effect will cause an increase in the consumption of peanut butter.
Explanation:
Inferior goods are those whose demand drops as income increases. People tend to prefer other goods but are forced to use the inferior good because of income constraints.
If peanut butter is an inferior good and the price rises substitution effect will tend to cause a decrease in demand and consumption of peanut butter. This is because consumers will seek other alternatives.
Income effect acts in opposite direction to substitution effect, and will cause an increase in consumption of peanut butter.
Fuji film was also able to succeed in the US due to their history of catering to a sophisticated Japanese photo market in their native market. Which aspect of the diamond of national competitive advantage does this draw from

g If the Fed is concerned about a possible recession, it ________ the federal funds rate and, in response, longterm interest rates ________ by a ________ amount than the change in shortterm rates. A. lowers; increase; smaller B. lowers; decrease; smaller C. raises; decrease; larger D. raises; increase; smaller E. raises; increase; larger
Answer:
The Fed
Concern about possible recession:
E. raises; increase; larger
Explanation:
The federal funds rate is a short-term monetary policy tool that the Federal Reserve deploys to control expansionary or recessionary economic conditions. It is the interest rate that Federal Reserve allows banks with excess to charge other banks that need to borrow to shore up their deficits. This interest rate is a short-term rate when compared to the long-term interest rates that banks charge consumers of its products and services. The long-term interest rates are affected by the inflation rates.

If the USA could produce 1 ton of potatoes or 0.5 tons of wheat per worker per year, while Ireland could produce 3 tons of potatoes or 2 tons of wheat per worker per year, there can be mutual gains from trade if:
This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options:
A. The USA specializes in potatoes because of its comparative advantage in producing potatoes.
B. The USA specializes in wheat because of its absolute advantage in producing wheat.
C. The USA specializes in wheat because of its comparative advantage in producing wheat.
D. There can be no mutual gains from trade.
The correct answer to this question is A. The USA specializes in potatoes because of its comparative advantage in producing potatoes.
Explanation:
In economics, a country has a comparative advantage, if it can produce a specific good at a lower opportunity cost, which implies the loss of choosing the product over others is low. Also, mutual gains are possible if each country specializes in the product with a comparative advantage. Moreover, to know which country has an opportunity advantage you need to calculate the opportunity cost of 1 unit, or, in this case, 1 ton of the product.
In the case of the U.S. you already know 1 ton of potatoes is equivalent to 0.5 tons of wheat, which is the opportunity cost. Now, let's calculate this factor for the production of 1 ton of potatoes in Ireland
3 tons of potatoes = 2 tons of wheat 1. Use 3 (tons of potatoes) and divide both numbers into three
3 tons of potatoes/ 3 = 2 tons of wheat / 3
1 ton of potatoes = 0.66
This shows the opportunity cost in the USA is lower and this represents a comparative advantage as less is lost when potatoes are chosen over wheat. Thus, to benefit both countries the USA should specialize in potatoes due to the higher comparative advantage or lower opportunity cost.
Identifying the median voter
Sam, Andrew, and Darnell are roommates who are trying to decide how much money to spend on heat in their apartment each month.
A. Andrew would ideally contribute $15. However, he would prefer contributing $55 to contributing $0 because he does not want to freeze.
B. Sam hates being cold. Therefore, he would ideally like each to contribute $55 to heat, and his utility declines at a constant rate as the roommates decrease the amount of money they spend.
C. Darnell does not care about heat and is on a tight budget. Therefore, he prefers to contribute no money to heat, and his utility declines at a constant rate as the roommates increase the amount of money they spend.
Suppose the three roommates vote on spending either so, $15, or $55 on heat using the Borda count system of voting. That is, each roommate awards three points to his first choice, two points to his second choice, and one point to his third choice
Answer:
The median voter here is $55 based on the allocated points in order of preference.
This is the vote that avoids the two extremes of 5 and 7
Explanation:
Voting with the Borda count system of voting:
$0 $15 $55
Andrew 1 3 2
Sam 1 2 3
Darnell 3 2 1
Total points 5 7 6
The median voter is the selection that is based on choosing the median in a spectrum, so that the extremes are avoided. In this case, the extremes win points 5 and 4, with the median as 6.
The voting was done by using the Borda count system of voting. With this system, points are allocated based on personal preferences. The preference that is favored most is given the highest point, and so on. This implies that the preference that is least favoured is given the lowest point.
ABC Company manufactures a contraption meant to enable a rider to fly behind a ski boat. After a few months, ABC begins to hear of injuries when riders crash into water or boats. In hopes of escaping liability, the president of ABC Company decides to discontinue business and sell all assets to XYZ Company. The president of XYZ Company is excited to purchase the assets at a bargain price and help ABC avoid liability based upon the assertion of the president of ABC that XYZ cannot legally be held liable for the flying accidents. Which of the following is true in a majority of states applying the traditional successor liability rule?
a. XYZ Company will not be held liable for the accidents so long as there is no contractual agreement by which it agrees to accept liability.
b. XYZ Company will only be held liable if it continues to manufacture the same product lines as ABC.
c. XYZ Company will only be held liable if it keeps the same tax number as ABC Company.
d. XYZ Company will likely be held liable for the accidents based upon the transaction being entered into wrongfully in order for ABC Company to escape successor liability.
Answer:
d. XYZ Company will likely be held liable for the accidents based upon the transaction being entered into wrongfully in order for ABC Company to escape successor liability.
Explanation:
Successor liability basically means that any creditor or plaintiff can recover from the company or individual that purchases an asset or a business (in this case ABC company) from any liabilities that may have been originated before the exchange transaction was finished, even if the firm or individual that purchases the asset or company did not assume or will not want to assume any liabilities as part of the exchange deal.
In other words, XYZ is liable for any lawsuits regarding the contraption device previously manufactured by ABC.

1. Increase selling price by 12% with no change in total variable costs or units sold.
2. Reduce variable costs to 57% of sales.
Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative.
1. Net Income $enter a dollar amount
2. Net Income $enter a dollar amount
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $382,500 (units 5,100)
Variable costs $247,000
Fixed costs $96,000
We need to determine the effect on the income of two options:
Option 1:
Increase the selling price by 12%
Sales= 382,500*1.12= 428,400
Variable cost= (247,000)
Contribution margin= 181,400
Fixed costs= (96,000)
Net income= $85,400
Option 2:
Reduce variable costs to 57% of sales
Contribution margin= (382,500*0.43)= 164,475
Fixed costs= (96,000)
Net income= $68,475
Which of the following determine(s) the level of real interest rates? I) The supply of savings by households and business firms II) The demand for investment funds III) The government's net supply and/or demand for funds
Answer:
I II & III - All of the above.
Explanation:
Real interest rate is an interest rate that shows actual cost of funds to a borrower having taken into consideration the effects of inflation while also reflecting actual gain to the lender. It shows how purchasing power has value on interest paid on a loan.
With regards to the above, determinants of real interest rates are; the supply of savings by household and business firms, the demand for investment funds and the government's net supply/and or demand for funds.
If you put up $39,000 today in exchange for a 6.5 percent, 16-year annuity, what will the annual cash flow be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
$3,992.73
Explanation:
For computing the annual cash flow we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $39,000
Future value or Face value = $0
RATE = 6.5%
NPER = 16 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the annual cash flow is $3,992.73

Barbara Hastings has no children of her own, but she does have a beloved niece named Ellen Laughridge. Attentive to the future financial needs of Ellen, Barbara secures a $500,000 life insurance contract from Chameleon Insurance Company, listing Ellen as the sole beneficiary. Barbara has every intention to inform Ellen of her new life insurance policy, but "life gets in the way," and she neglects to do so. Hastings dies on January 15, 2005. As part of her estate distribution, Ellen receives a chest-of-drawers from her dear aunt. On August 29, 2007, while rearranging her clothing in the chest-of-drawers, Ellen comes upon a secret compartment. In the secret compartment is an original copy of the life insurance contract. Ellen is overjoyed to see her name listed as beneficiary, and she contacts Chameleon Insurance Company immediately. Upon review of the policy, Chameleon denies coverage. Chameleon’s claims representative points to Section 15(b) of the policy, which specifically requires notification of the insured’s death no later than one year after death. It has been over two years and seven months since Barbara Hastings died. 1. Will Ellen recover the $500,000 in insurance proceeds? 2. Is it ethical for an insurance company to deny a claim on the basis of a "technicality?"
Answer:
1. Ellen would only be able to recover the $500,000 insurance proceed if she should be able to find a technicality in the insurance company's rules and regulation. This is because, strictly following the rules, there is nothing she can do regarding to the claim.
2. It is not ethical for the insurance company to deny the claim of Ellen on the basis of technicality but when viewed from another perspective, they are strictly following the rules of the insurance organization and applying it to the later. It is now left for the claimant to find another technicality on why he or she must be paid the insurance claim.
Explanation:
Pooler Corporation is working on its direct labor budget for the next two months. Each unit of output requires 0.15 direct labor-hours. The direct labor rate is $7.00 per direct labor-hour. The production budget calls for producing 6,500 units in April and 6,200 units in May. If the direct labor work force is fully adjusted to the total direct labor-hours needed each month, what would be the total combined direct labor cost for the two months?
Answer:
$13,335
Explanation:
Required production in units for April and May are 6,500 units and 6,200 units respectively.
Direct labor hours needed is 0.15 for both months.
Total direct labor hours needed for each month would be;
April
= 6,500 units × 0.15
= 975
May
=6,200 units × 0.15
= 930
Direct labor rate per hour for each months is $7
Total direct labor cost for April would be;
= $7 × 975
= $6,825
Total direct labor cost for May would be;
= $7 × 930
= $6,510
Therefore, total direct labor cost for both months April and May would be;
= $6,825 + $6,510
= $13,335

1. Stock A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of expected returns of 35%, a correlation coefficient with the market of -0.3, and a beta coefficient of -0.5. Stock B has an expected return of 12% a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a 0.7 correlation with the market, and a beta coefficient of 1.0. Which security is riskier
Answer:
Option A is riskier
Explanation:
In this question, we want to know which of the two stocks is riskier.
To answer this, we can use the standard deviation of returns as a risk measure.
For a security with a big value for standard deviation of returns, its per period returns are wider making its range per day large.
Hence, what this means is that out of the two stocks, the one with a larger value of standard deviation of returns will guarantee more risk as it is expected to give a better ranges of price
Now back to the values in the question, we can see that the standard deviation of returns of stock A is greater than that of stock B which this makes it a more risky option
explain the procedure of inducting a new technology on a given business
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide a specific reference, we can say the following.
A general procedure of inducting a new technology on a given business would be like this.
First, really search for the technological necessities in your company. Take people's opinions. Once you have identified your priority, proceed informing every single one of the employees the reason and purpose of this new piece of technology or software. Remember that the benefit of it must be for all the areas in some way. Then give the specifics reasons for how this new technology will help employees' work. This novelty should be seen as an advantage, not an excuse for delaying work under the argument that "it is complicated."
Provide the proper training so everybody can get familiar with the technology.
Give the proper time so everybody is on the same page.

What is the present value of your windfall if the appropriate discount rate is 8%?
Answer:
$5,765.35
Explanation:
Preparation of the present value of your windfall if the appropriate discount rate is 8%
To find the present value we are going to use this formula
PV = FV / (1 + r)^t
Where,
FV=$2,000,000
r=8%
t=76
Let plug in the formula
PV = 2,000,000 / (1 + .08)^⁷⁶
PV = $2,000,000 / (1.98)^⁷⁶
PV=$2,000,000/346.90
PV=$5,765.35
Therefore the present value will be $5,765.35

ELO shares are currently trading for $92.51 on the NYSE, and the expected annual rate of return for ELO shares is 9.82%. Answer as a % to 2 decimal places (e.g., 12.34% as 12.34).
Answer: 5.15%
Explanation:
The Constant Dividend Growth Model is used to calculate the price of a stock given the next dividend that will be paid on it, its required return and its constant growth rate by the formula;
Price = [tex]\frac{Next Dividend}{Rate of Return - Growth rate}[/tex]
$92.51 = [tex]\frac{4.32}{0.0982 - growth rate}[/tex]
9.084482 - 92.51g = 4.32
9.084482 - 4.32 = 92.51g
92.51g = 4.764482
g = 0.0515
g = 5.15%
Viserion, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 23 years to maturity that is quoted at 103 percent of face value. The issue makes semiannual payments and has an embedded cost of 6 percent annually. a. What is the company’s pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Viserion, Inc.
Cost of debt:
Premium on Debt = 3% (103 - 100%)
Amortization of the premium = 3%/23 = 0.13%
Interest cost = 6%
Cost of debt (pretax) = 6% - 0.13% = 5.87%
Explanation:
The cost of debt is the difference between the interest expense in percentage that Viserion, Inc. pays annually and the premium on the debt that must be amortized over the life of the debt. Since Viserion, Inc. pays 6% annually or 3% semiannually on the debt and amortizes 0.13% of the debt premium, the amortization rate is taken away from the annual interest to get the cost of debts in percentage terms.

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years
Answer:
$28,533.5
Explanation:
Principal value (PV) = $275,000
Time = 20 years
Rate = 8.25%
Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)
275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)
275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)
22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))
22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)
22687.5 = p(0.7951)
P = 22687.5 / 0.7951
P = $28533.5
