Answer:
A. Payback period
payback period = 2.875 years, therefore, the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than 3 years.B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
IRR = 22.69%, therefore, the project should be accepted since the IRR is higher than the required rate of return (8%).C. Simple Rate of Return
simple rate of return = 18%, therefore, the project should be accepted because the simple rate of return is higher than the required rate of return.D. Net Present Value
NPV = $4,647.85 , therefore, the project should be accepted since the NPV is positive.Explanation:
year cash flow
0 -$10,000
1 $2,400
2 $4,800
3 $3,200
4 $3,200
5 $2,800
6 $2,400
discount rate 8%
I used a financial calculator to determine the NPV and IRR.
Payback period = $10,000 - $2,400 - $4,800 = $2,800 / $3,200 = 0.875
payback period = 2.875 years
simple rate of return:
average cash flow = ($2,400 + $4,800 + $3,200 + $3,200 + $2,800 + $2,400) / 6 = $3,467
depreciation expense per year = $10,000 / 6 = $1,667
simple rate of return = ($3,467 - $1,667) / $10,000 = 18%
A small town is served by many competing supermarkets, which all have the same constant marginal cost. Use the black point (plus symbol) to show the competitive price and quantity in this market. Then use the green area (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus in the market for groceries, and use the purple area (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing producer surplus.
Answer and Explanation:
From the diagram in the picture (please find attached) we see that the competitive price and quantity lies at the marginal cost( which the producer cannot go below). The consumer surplus lies just below the demand curve(the downward sloping curve with) and the producer surplus is above the marginal cost. Note the producer surplus is the difference between what the supplier is willing to sell and how much he actually sells, the marginal cost is the lowest the supplier would want to sell. This applies to the consumer surplus too
The producer surplus region was indicated with vertical strokes in the diagram attached
In the aftermath of the global economic crisis that started to take hold in 2008, U.S. government budget deficits increased dramatically, yet interest rates on U.S. Treasury debt fell sharply and stayed low for quite some time. Does this make sense? Why or why not
Answer and Explanation:
the supply effect of large deficits should cause interest rates to go up. The economic crisis caused wealth and income to be lower
which brought about a depression inTreasury bond demand, corporate bond supply also fell the more as investment opportunities reduced. A greater leftward shift in the bond
supply curve than the rightward shift in the bond demand curve would bring about a rise in
bond prices and a reduction in interest rates. Because off the seriousness of the global crisis, the United States
treasury debt became safe for forms of investment, with relative risk falling and liquidity
for U.S. treasury debt rising.
This then increased the U.S. treasury bond demand, resulting into higher
bond prices and lower yields.
A university bookstore buys mechanical pencils from a wholesaler. The wholesaler offers discount for large order quantity per shipment according to the following price schedule:
Order Quantity Price Per Unit
1 to 200 $4.00
201 to 1,000 $3.60
1,001 to 2,000 $3.40
2,001 and greater $3.25
The bookstore expects an annual demand of 2,500 units. It costs $10 to place an order, and the annual cost of holding a unit in stock is 30% of the unit’s procurement price. Determine the best order quantity.
Answer:
226 units
Explanation:
Formula : [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 * Annual Demand * Ordering Cost}{Holding Cost}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*2500*10}{0.3*3.25} }[/tex] = 226
The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The reorder point is the inventory management system in which a certain level of inventory is set as a trigger for reordering the stock. Ordering cost is determined by the number of order placed.
You are scheduled to receive $35,000 in two years. When you receive it, you will invest it for 6 more years at 7 percent per year. How much will you have in 8 years?
Answer:
$52,526
Explanation:
In two years i have $35,000.
the amount invested thus the Principle amount is $35,000
Pv = $35,000
r = 7 %
PMT = $0
n = 6
Fv = ?
Note that The 8 th year is the sixth year of this investment.
FV = PV × (1 + r) n
= $35,000 × ( 1 + 0.07) 6
= $52,525.56
= $52,526
Oriole Company had $197,000 of net income in 2019 when the selling price per unit was $152, the variable costs per unit were $90, and the fixed costs were $571,800. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2020. The president of Oriole Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $99,200 in 2020.
Required:
a. Compute the number of units sold in 2019.
b. Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2020 to reach the stockholders’ desired profit .
c. Assume that Oriole Company sells the same number of units in 2020 as it did in 2019. What would the selling price have to be in order to reach the stockholders’ desired profit level?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Net income= $197,000
Selling price per unit= $152
Unitary variable cost= $90
Fixed costs= $571,800
Desired profit= 99,200 + 197,000= $296,200
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Contribution margin per unit= 152 - 90= $62
Total contribution margin= net income + fixed costs
Total contribution margin= 197,000 + 571,800= $768,800
Units sold= total contribution margin / unitary contribution margin
Units sold= 768,800/62= 12,400 units
Now, to determine the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profir) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (571,800 + 296,200) / 62
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
Finally, we need to determine the selling price for 12,400 units and the desired profit of $296,200.
12,400= 868,000 / (selling price - 90)
-1,116,000 + 12,400selling price= 868,000
12,400 selling price = 1,984,000
selling price= $160
Find end inventory and cost of goods
Date Transactions Units Unit Cost Total Cost
June 1 Beginning inventory 16 $ 340 $ 5,440
June 7 Sale 11
June 12 Purchase 10 330 3,300
June 15 Sale 12
June 24 Purchase 10 320 3,200
June 27 Sale 8
June 29 Purchase 10 310 3,100
$ 15,040
Answer:
End inventory = $4,730
Cost of goods sold = $10,310
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached Microsoft word document before answering the question as follows:
a. Calculation of ending inventory
Number of units of Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 16 - 11 - 3 - 1 = 1 unit
Value of number of units Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 1 * $340 = $340
Number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 9 = 1 unit
Value of number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 1 * $330 = $330
Number of units of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 7 = 3 units
Value of number of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 3 * $320 = $960
Value of number of June 29 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 * $310 = $3,100
Therefore, End inventory is the addition of all the values of units remaining unsold as follows:
End inventory = $340 + $330 + $960 + $3,100 = $4,730
b. Calculation of cost of goods sold
June 7 cost of goods sold = 11 * $340 = $3,740
June 15 cost of goods sold = (3 * $340) + (9 * $330) = $3,990
June 27 cost of goods sold = (1 * $340) + (7 * $320) = $2,580
Cost of goods sold can therefore be calculated as follows:
Cost of goods sold = June 7 cost of goods sold + June 15 cost of goods sold + June 27 cost of goods sold = $3,740 + $3,990 + $2,580 = $10,310
Which of the following is an example of a hidden variable? Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.
Answer:
Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.
Explanation:
Hidden variable: The term "hidden variable" is described as the proposition that specific "statistical models" of any physical systems, for example, Quantum mechanics are being incomplete inherently, and along with this the apparent randomness of a particular system is being dependent not on "collapsing functions" but instead it is due to any unmeasurable or unseen or hidden variables.
In the article, the graph labeled "Gas Guzzling" shows how the quantity demanded of gasoline varies each year. The graph depicts the quantity demanded that occurs at each year's equilibrium price. Therefore, the best way to interpret the numbers on the y axis is to assume that they represent an equilibrium when both the quantity of gas demanded and the quantity of gas supplied are the same. At this equilibrium, the price is the one that occurs at the intersection of the demand and supply curves.
We can turn to the textbook to understand why there were fluctuations in the quantity of gasoline sold over time. In particular, the textbook mentions several factors that shift a demand curve, as well as several factors that shift a supply curve. When either of these curves shifts, there will be a new equilibrium price and a new equilibrium quantity in the market.
Consider the following factor and indicate whether it increases or decreases the equilibrium price of gasoline and the equilibrium quantity of gasoline sold. In this problem, assume that gasoline is a normal good.
When income increases, the
Choose one:
A. supply curve shifts to the left.
B. demand curve shifts to the left.
C. supply curve shifts to the right.
D. demand curve shifts to the right.
As a result,
Choose one:
A. price increases and quantity increases.
B. price decreases and quantity increases.
C. price increases and quantity decreases.
D. price decreases and quantity decreases
Answer:
The correct answers are the options D and A. The demand curve shifts to the right and the price increases and the quantity increases.
Explanation:
To begin with, the income of the consumers is a variable that only affects the demand and therefore that, as the gasoline is a normal good, when the income of the consumers increase then the quanitity demanded of the product will increase as well due to the fact that now the people have more money to use and when this happens the demand curve shifts to the right causing that the in the new equilibrium the price is higher and the quantity is higher as well too.
The "added worker" effect would cause the labor force to __________ during a recession. Group of answer choices increase decrease remain unchanged either increase or decrease
Answer: Increase
Explanation:
The Added Worker effect refers to a scenario where more family members typically women, enter the job market when the principal breadwinner in the household becomes unemployed. This is done to increase the income streams of the household to cushion the effect of the breadwinner becoming unemployed.
In a recession, more people will lose jobs so more members of a family will join the job market looking to give their households more income streams so the labor force will increase in size.
Banks often estimate inflation. You can see what they think inflation will be if you know how much they charge for loans and how much they expect to earn. Suppose the nominal interest rate is 7% and the real interest rate is 2%. Given these interest rates, the bank thinks inflation will be_________ %
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
To find the answer, we use the Nominal Interest Rate formula:
Nominal Interest Rate = Real Interest Rate + Inflation Rate
Now, we plug the amounts into the formula, and confirm that the answer is correct:
7% = 2% + 5%
As we can see, the nominal interest rate is the sum of the real interest rate and the inflation rate. Therefore, banks will estimate the nominal interest rate taking into account the expected inflation rate.
If the Fed lowers the interest rate, then A. only consumption expenditure decreases. B. only investment decreases. C. consumption expenditure decreases and investment increases. D. net exports will increase. E. both consumption expenditure and investment decrease.
Answer: D. net exports will increase.
Explanation:
Lower interest rates decrease the value of a currency because less investors will invest in it. This reduced currency value will mean that exports will become cheaper as they are quoted in the domestic currency. As the exports are cheaper, more countries will buy them leading to an increase in Net exports.
Nick and Dale owned Buddy Corporation and had contacted Kurt's Warehousing to about storing some goods. Per the warehouse receipt, Nick and Dale would store the goods on its premises. This is an example of _______________.
Answer:
Flex warehousing
Explanation:
Flex warehousing also known as Public Warehousing, is a form of warehousing in which various firms seek to store high-turnover product in spaces for short periods of time.
It is a type of warehouse space which allows many clients' products to be received, handled, stored, and transported out in a flexible environment.
It is used to cater for overflow of goods, so as to maximize the space and labor reserved for only one contract client at a time.
Hence , in this case, this is an example of FLEX WAREHOUSING.
During the current year, Cary and Bill incurred acquisition debt on their residence of $1,300,000 and a home equity loan of $200,000. On a joint tax return, what is the amount of their qualified acquisition debt and qualified home equity debt, respectively?
Answer:
qualified acquisition debt = $750,000
qualified home equity debt = $0
Explanation:
Qualified acquisition debt refers to the debt incurred to purchase or build your home. In this case, Cary and Bill are allowed to itemize the interests paid for up to $750,000 of the acquisition debt ($375,000 if filing separately). This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.
Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.
Westbrook's Painting Co. plans to issue a $1,000 par value, 20-year noncallable bond with a 7.00% annual coupon, paid semiannually. The company's marginal tax rate is 25%, but Congress is considering a change in the corporate tax rate to 15%. By how much would the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted
Answer:
The component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC as follows:
CD = WD * PCD * (1 - t) ........................ (1)
Where;
CD = Component of cost of debt in WACC
WD = Weight of debt
PCD = Pretax cost of debt
t = tax rate
Note: Since information is provided for only the 20-year noncallable bond in the question, we assume that WD is 100% for simplicity purpose.
We can therefore proceed as follows:
a. CD When tax rate is 25%
Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:
CD when t is 25% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?
WD = Weight of debt = 100%
PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%
t = tax rate = 25%
Substituting into equation (1), we have:
CD when t is 25% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 25%) = 5.25%
b. CD When tax rate is 15%
Based on equation (1) and the assumption in the note, we have:
CD when t is 15% = Component of cost of debt in WACC = ?
WD = Weight of debt = 100%
PCD = Pretax cost of debt = 7%
t = tax rate = 15%
Substituting into equation (1), we have:
CD when t is 15% = 100% * 7% * (1 - 15%) = 5.95%
c. the WACC change if the new tax rate was adopted
Change in WACC = CD when t is 15% - CD when t is 25% = 5.95% - 5.25% = 0.70%
Therefore, the component cost of debt used to calculate the WACC will change by 0.70% if the new tax rate was adopted.

Explanation:
Bagwell's net income for the year ended December 31, Year 2 was $175,000. Information from Bagwell's comparative balance sheets is given below. Compute the cash paid for dividends during Year 2. At December 31 Year 2 Year 1 Common Stock, $5 par value $500,000 $450,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par 948,000 853,000 Retained earnings 688,000 582,000 A. $95,000. B. $201,000. C. $69,000. D. $79,000. E. $50,000.
Answer:
C. $69,000
Explanation:
Computation of the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
First step is to calculate the difference in Retained earnings for Year 2 and Year 1
Retained earnings =$688,000-$582,000
Difference in retained earnings =$106,000
Second step is to calculate for the cash paid for dividends during Year 2
Using this formula
Cash paid dividend = Year 2 Net income- Retained earnings difference
Let plug in the formula
Cash paid dividend=$175,000-$106,000
Cash paid dividend =$69,000
Therefore the cash paid for dividends during Year 2 will be $69,000
You need a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $320,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at a 6.15 percent APR for this 360-month loan. However, you can afford monthly payments of only $1,600, so you offer to pay off any remaining loan balance at the end of the loan in the form of a single balloon payment.
How large will this balloon payment have to be for you to keep your monthly payments at $1,600? Please show and explain all work.
Answer:
$362,353
Explanation:
In order to answer this question I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the remaining principal balance at the end of the 30th year.
The problem with this loan is that the interests charged for the first month only are $1,640. This means that your monthly payment will not even cover the interest expense which means that the principal will grow month after month. After 360 months, your loan balance will increase from $320,000 to $362,353.
Under a job-order costing system, the dollar amount transferred from Work in Process to Finished Goods is the sum of the costs charged to all jobs:___________.
A) started in process during the period.
B) in process during the period.
C) completed and sold during the period.
D) completed during the period.
Answer:
D) completed during the period.
Explanation:
The jobs that have been completed are transferred from Work In Process Account to the Finished Goods Inventory Account.
It is from this Finished Goods Inventory that the Cost of Sales would be determined for those jobs sold.
An individual sets aside a certain amount of his income per month to spend on his two hobbies, collecting wine and collecting books. Given the information below, illustrate both:
a. the price-consumption curve associated with changes curve for wine.
b. the price of wine and the demand
Price Wine 10.00 12.00 15.00 20.00
Price Book 10.00 10.00 10.00 10.00
Quantity Wine 7.00 5.00 4.00 2.00
Quantity Book 8.00 9.00 9.00 11.00
Budget 150.00 150.00 150.00 150.00
Answer and Explanation:
The price consumption curve abbreviated PCC indicates graphically the changes in consumption of goods given changes in prices of the goods
The graph picture attached(please find attached) illustrates the decrease in consumption for wine as the price increases( the higher the price, the lower the demand), hence the downward sloping PCC curve. The other diagram B for book shows increase in quantity demanded even while price is constant causing a straight line not downward or upward sloping curve. This can happen as a result of other factors such as increase in quality of product or other factors. Also notice that we are working with the assumption that consumer's budget is constant so that it does not contribute as a factor for increase in demand
A new operating system for an existing maching is expected to cost $786000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $230000 each year after deducting its straight line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $90000. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
NPV is $771,739
Explanation:
As we know that:
Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash inflow (STEP 1) - Present Value of Cash outflow
STEP 1. Present Value of Cash Inflow
Here
Present Value of Cash Inflow = Annuity of Annual Cash flow - PV of Scrap Value
Annual Cash flow is $346,000 ($230,000 + ($786,000 - $90,000)/6)
So
Annuity of annual cash inflow = $346,000 * Annuity Factor
Here
Annuity Factor for 6 years is 4.3553
Now this means that:
Annuity of annual cash Inflow = $346,000 * 4.3553 = $1,506,934
Present Value of Residual Value ($90,000 * 0.5645) = $50,805
Present Value of cash inflows $1,557,739
Now putting values in the above equation, we have:
Net Present Value = $1,557,739 - $786,000
Net Present Value = $771,739
Target ROI is 19% Invested Capital is $569,512 Full Cost per unit $1,124 Expected sales volume is 959 units. If the company prices each unit to earn the target ROI, what amount of profit would be added to the cost of each unit?
Answer:
The amount of profit to be added to the cost of each unit = $112.83
Explanation:
Profit is the difference between the selling price per unit and full cost per unit. To determine the the amount of profit to be added , we will divide the total return on invested capital by the number of units to be produced and sold. This is given below as follows:
Target return = ROI (%) × Invested capital
= 19% × 569,512 = 108,207.28
Profit per unit = Total return/Number of units
= $108,207.28 /959 units
= $112.83 per unit
Selling price per unit = Full cost per unit + profit per unit
= 1,124 + 112.83 = 1,237.66 (this is not required anyway)
The amount of profit to be added to the cost of each unit = $112.83
The amount of profit that would be added to the cost of each unit is $112.83 that should be come after calculating the target return.
Calculation of the amount of profit:Before that the following calculations need to be done
Target return = ROI (%) × Invested capital
= 19% × 569,512
= 108,207.28
Now
Profit per unit = Total return/Number of units
= $108,207.28 /959 units
= $112.83 per unit
hence, The amount of profit that would be added to the cost of each unit is $112.83.

The Pennington Corporation issued a new series of bonds on January 1, 1985. The bonds were sold at par ($1,000); had a 12% coupon; and mature in 30 years, on December 31, 2014. Coupon payments are made semiannually (on June 30 and December 31). a. What was the YTM on January 1, 1985?
Answer:
The YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.
Explanation:
The YTM is the interest rate used to determine the Present Value of Coupons and Principle and can be found as follows :
PV = $1,000
Pmt = ($1,000 × 12 %) / 2 = - $60
P/yr = 1
n = 30 × 2 = 60
Fv = - $1,000
YTM = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the YTM is 6.00%
Therefore, the YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.
ABC Company sells three products, X, Y and Z. The weighted average contribution margin for all three products is $3.05 per unit. ABC's total fixed costs are $35,000. Sales mix percentages are :
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The weighted average contribution margin for all three products is $3.05 per unit. ABC's total fixed costs are $35,000
With the information provided, we can only calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company using the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 35,000/3.05
Break-even point (units)= 11,475
Now, imagine the following sales mix:
X= 0.25
Y=0.40
Z=0.35
We can determine the number of units for each product:
X= 11,475*0.25= 2,869
Y= 11,475*0.4= 4,590
Z= 11,475*0.35= 4,016

Answer:
261,690
Explanation:
The computation of inventory is shown below:-
Particulars Cost Retail Cost-to-Retail Ratio
Beginning inventory $250,000 $286,000
Add Purchases $672,000 $888,000
Freight-in $14,000
Net markup $26,000
Total $936,000 $1,200,000
Less: Net markdowns $4,500
Goods available for sale $1,195,000
Cost-to-retail percentage 0.78 (in working note)
Less: Net sales $860,000
Retail Estimated ending
inventory $335,500 ($1,195,000 - $860,000)
At cost Estimated ending
inventory $261,690
Cost-to-retail percentage is
= 936,000 ÷ 1,200,000
= 0.78
Estimated ending inventory at cost is
335,500 × 0.78
= 261,690
eal per capita GDP in Singapore in 1961 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1978. a. What was the average annual economic growth rate in Singapore over the 17.00 years from 1961 to 1978
Answer:
The answer is 4.16%
Explanation:
Per capita GDP is the average income earned per person in a given country during a given period of time usually a year.
Per capita GDP in Singapore in 1961 equals $450
Per capita GDP in Singapore in 1978 equals $900
Difference between 1978 and 1961 is 17 years.
The formula for economic growth rate is;
[(End value/beginning value)^1)/17] - 1
[($900/$450)^1/17] - 1
1.041613 - 1
0.0416

All of the following are assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of except? Homogenous customer needs worldwide People around the world are willing to sacrifice preferences for lower prices and higher quality Economies of scale can be obtained in production and marketing through supplying worldwide Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Answer: Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix
Explanation:
Theodore Levitt came up with some assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of which include;
On a global scale, customer needs are beginning to become homogeneous.People are willing to sacrifice their preferences for better quality products at a cheaper quality which gives Multinational Companies a chance to offer them better products than local producers due to their large sizes and Economies of scale.Having to supply the world can lead to Economies of scale in production and marketing due to the larger market.Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix is not one of the assumptions espoused by Theodore Levitt and so is the correct answer.
Break-even point Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $160, the unit variable cost is $120, and the total fixed costs are $725,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $170.
A. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
B. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.
Answer:
A. 18,125 units
B. 14,500 units
Explanation:
Break -even is the level of activity where a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $160 - $120)
= 18,125 units
New Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $725,000 ÷ ( $170- $120)
= 14,500 units
