Answer: short-term forecast
Explanation:
The Short-term in business refers to a period a year or less. A Short-term forecast therefore allows for a business to predict its needs and potential receipts within a period of a year or less. Short-term forecasts would include the expenses, revenues, and hence income that a company believes it will receive in the next year or less. The company can therefore be able to predict how much it will make in the coming year using a Short-term forecast.
"Jaymes Corporation produces high-performance rotors. It expects to produce 78,000 rotors in the coming year. It has invested $12,566,667 to produce rotors. The company has a required return on investment of 18%. What is its ROI per unit
Answer:
$29
Explanation:
The computation of return on investment per unit is shown below:-
Return on investment = Total Investment × Required Rate on Investment
= $12,566,667 × 18%
= $2,262,000.06
Return in investment per unit = Required ROI ÷ Total Rotors
= $2,262,000.06 ÷ 78,000
= $29
Therefore for computing the return on investment we simply applied the above formula.

Sheffield Company has $145,000 of inventory at the beginning of the year and $131,000 at the end of the year. Sales revenue is $1,972,800, cost of goods sold is $1,145,400, and net income is $248,400 for the year. The inventory turnover ratio is:
Answer:
Sheffield Company
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $1,145,400/$138,000
= 8.3 times
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning inventory = $145,000
Ending inventory = $131,000
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)/2
= ($145,000 + 131,000)/2
= $138,000
Sales revenue = $1,972,800
Cost of goods sold = $1,145,400
Net income = $248,400
b) The inventory turnover ratio for Sheffield Company is an efficiency ratio that shows how inventory is managed and the number of times Sheffield sells or consumes the inventory during an accounting period. This is why Sheffield Company takes the average of the inventories in order to smoothen seasonal fluctuations in the inventory level during the year. When this ratio divides the number of days in the accounting period, Sheffield will get the days it takes for inventory to be purchased or produced, and then sold or consumed.

The following data concerns a proposed equipment purchase: Cost$144,000 Salvage value$4,000 Estimated useful life 4years Annual net cash flows$46,100 Depreciation methodStraight-line Ignoring income taxes, the annual net income amount used to calculate the accounting rate of return is:
Answer: $74,000
Explanation:
The Average Investment refers to the average cash invested into a particular project and is useful in calculating the rate of return. The simple formula is to add the beginning value of the asset to its ending value and divide this by 2.
The ending value in this case would be the salvage value;
Average Investment = [tex]\frac{Beginning Cost of Machine + Salvage Value}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{144,000 + 4,000}{2}[/tex]
= $74,000

A new machine will cost $25,000. The machine is expectedto last 4 years and have no salvage value. If the interest rate is 12%, determine the return and the risk associated with the purchase. The following projections have been made.
Scenario 1 2 3
probability 0.3 0.4 0.3
annual savings $7000 $8500 $9500
Answer with its Explanation:
Requirement 1. Expected Annual Savings and Expected NPV
As we know that:
Expected Value = Probability P1 * Expected Value E1 + Probability P2 * Expected Value E2 + Probability P3 * Expected Value E3 + ....... Probability Pn * Expected Value En
Here
P1 is 0.3 and E1 is $7000
P2 is 0.4 and E2 is $8500
P3 is 0.3 and E3 is $9500
By putting values, we have
Expected Annual Savings = 0.3 * $7,000 + 0.4 * $8,500 + 0.3 * $9,500 = $8,350
The above amount would be for first four years, hence it must be discounted using the annuity formula to calculate the present value of four annual receipts.
Annuity = [1 - (1 + r)^-n] / r
By putting values, we have:
Annuity = $8,350 * [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4] / 12%
And
Expected NPV = ($25,000) + $8,350 * [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4] / 12%
= $361.87
Requirement 2. Probable Return Percentage
Return Percentage = NPV / Investment = $361.87/ $25,000
= 1.45%
Requirement 3. Associated risk
As we know that
Minimum return = Minimum annual savings – Uniform annual costs
Here
Minimum annual savings are $7,000
Uniform Annual Costs were $8,350
By putting values, we have:
Minimum return = $7,000 – $8,350 = -$1,350 per year
Requirement 4. Risk Amount Percentage
Risk Amount percentage = Minimum Return / Uniform annual costs * 100
Risk Amount percentage = $1,350 / 8,350 * 100 = 16.17%
The matching principle prescribes: Multiple Choice The use of the direct write-off method for bad debts. That expenses be ignored if their effect on the financial statements is unimportant to users' business decisions.
Answer: C. The use of the allowance method of accounting for bad debts
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
The matching principle requires:
A. That expenses be ignored if their effect on the financial statements are less important than revenues to the financial statement user.
B. The use of the direct write-off method for bad debts.
C. The use of the allowance method of accounting for bad debts.
D. That bad debts be disclosed in the financial statements.
E. That bad debts not be written off.
The matching principle is also referred to as the revenue recognition principle and it simply states that recording of revenues should be done during the period when they are earned, without taking into consideration when transfer of cash takes place.
The matching principle, requires using allowance method of accounting for bad debts as this will ensure that the bad debt expenses are matched to revenue.
A mutual fund sponsor has three different income funds, holding AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. Assuming that the expense ratios for the funds are identical, which fund would have the lowest yield from investment income?
Answer: C. Municipal Bond Fund
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds would be the fund with the lowest yield from investment income. This is assuming they are all AAA rated debt securities with similar maturities. This is because Municipal bonds are tax exempt and not very risky so their yields will be quoted as less as they do not have to compensate investors on tax losses.
Corporate Bonds are the riskiest of the options given so they will have the highest yield as they have to compensate for both risk and taxes.
Government Bonds are considered very low when it comes to risk but they are taxed by the Federal Government so have higher yields to compensate for tax.

Answer:
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times
So option d is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Inventory turnover ratio is an accounting ratio which is used to determine the number of times the average level of inventory is sold off and replaced in a particular period. The formula to calculate the inventory turnover times is,
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Where,
Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = (79380 + 76700) / 2
Average Inventory 2017 = $78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 389500 / 78040
Inventory Turnover 2017 = 4.99 times
Summary: With 250,000 employees in 19 countries, Aramark wanted to motivate its employees who clean airplanes for Delta and Southwest Airlines. Turnover of the low-paid, largely immigrant staff was high while morale was low. Wallets and other valuables left on planes disappeared. After 5 years of efforts to increase motivation, revenue rose from $5 million to $14 million. 1. What motivation theories apply to the workers at Aramark? 2. If you were the manager of these employees, what would you do to motivate them? Be honest regarding your personal management style and beliefs rather than trying to be like Roy Pelaez. 3. What are some possible barriers to the effectiveness of your motivation ideas? What could you do to overcome them?
Answer:
Explanation:
(A)
What motivation theory applies to the workers at Aramark?
The workers should be motivated with payments for the return of valuables forgotten in the aircraft.
(B)
To motivate them, offer them a salary increase
(C)
Some possible barriers to the effectiveness of these motivation ideas are gluttony (depending on individual worker), a period of stiff or falling profit (which will hinder the smooth running of the new benefit policies), change of management.
(D)
What could you do, to overcome them?
To ensure that workers do not still steal forgotten valuables, place a check or supervision on them.
To ensure the profit level is maintained or increased, make sure the workers do not relent in their duties. Sometimes, more benefits make workers relax more.
Your Competitive Intelligence team is predicting that the Chester Company will invest in adding capacity to their Cute product this year. Assume Chester's product Cute invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. Because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the Core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. How much can the industry produce in the Core segment the next year? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands (000).
Answer:
HELLO SOME PARTS OF THE QUESTION IS MISSING ATTACHED BELOW IS THE MISSING PARTS
answer : 13156
Explanation:
Considering only products primarily in the core segment last year.
they are : Ant, cone, cute,Drat and Daze
From the question it is assumed that Chester's product Cute and other products in its Core segment will be increased by 10% this year hence we will calculate the 10% increase of each core product and add it to its initial value
For ANT (1550)
will become = 1550 + ( 10% * 1550 ) = 1705
For CONE ( 1050 )
will become = 1050 + ( 10% * 1050 ) = 1155
For Cute ( 1300 )
will become = 1300 + (10% * 1300 ) = 1430
For Drat ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
For DAZE ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
The total capacity of the current year = 1705 + 1155 + 1430 + 1144 + 1144 = 6578
Hence the Total capacity the Industry will produce in the core next year still applying the 10% increment will be = 2 * 6578 = 13156
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year.
(a) This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to ______ and the level of investment spending to _______.
(b) An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to ______ and the level of investment to _______.
(c) Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
(d) This change in spending causes the government to run a budget _______, which _______ national saving.
(e) This causes the interest rate to _______, and the level of investment spending to _______
Answer:
(a) This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to DECREASE and the level of investment spending to INCREASE.
The supply of loanable funds will increase, therefore, the equilibrium price (interest rate) will decrease.
(b) An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit.
The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to DECREASE and the level of investment to DECREASE.
The demand of loanable will decrease, therefore, decreasing the equilibrium price (interest rate).
(c) Initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.
(d) This change in spending causes the government to run a budget SURPLUS, which INCREASES national saving.
(e) This causes the interest rate to DECREASE, and the level of investment spending to INCREASE.
Since the government has extra money, it can use it to pay existing debts or finance themselves without having to issue new debt. Since the demand for loanable funds decrease, the interest rates will fall.
Koczela Inc. has provided the following data for the month of May:
Inventories:
Beginning Ending
Work in process $ 25,000 $ 20,000
Finished goods $ 54,000 $ 58,000
Additional information:
Direct materials $ 65,000
Direct labor cost $ 95,000
Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 71,000
Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $ 69,000
Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold.
The cost of goods manufactured for May is:___________
$229,000
$234,000
$231,000
$236,000
Answer:
$234,000
Explanation:
cost of goods manufactured = beginning work in process + direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead cost applied - ending work in process
cost of goods manufactured = $25,000 + $65,000 + $95,000 + $69,000 - $20,000 = $234,000
cost of goods sold = beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory + underapplied overhead
cost of goods sold = $54,000 + $234,000 - $58,000 + $2,000 = $232,000
Ultimo Co. operates three production departments as profit centers. The following information is available for its most recent year. Department 1's contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is: ________
Dept. Sales Cost of Goods Sold Direct Expenses Indirect Expenses
1 $1,000,000 $700,000 $100,000 $80,000
2 $400,000 $150,000 $40,000 $100,000
3 $700,000 $300,000 $150,000 $20,000

Workings
Dept. Sales Cost of goods Direct Expenses Indirect exp Contribution
1 1,000,000 700,000 100,000 80,000 120,000
2 400,000 150,000 40,000 100,000 110,000
3 700,000 300,000 150,000 20,000 230,000
Contribution= sales revenue - direct cost and direct expenses
For Department 1 =
Contribution = 1,000,000 -700,000-100,000-80,000 = 120,000
Contribution as a percentage of sale =
Sales = 1,000,000
Contribution = 120,000
120,000/1,000,000*100 = 12%
Can a broker arbitrarily penalize an independent contractor based on varying factors, such as the sales agent's difficulty in closing a deal or failure to produce paperwork in a timely fashion?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
An independent contractor is a business person or entity who works for an employer based on an agreed-upon contract which affords him the flexibility of choosing how and when he accomplishes a task. The employer has the right to control the results of his work but has little or no say on how and when the job is done.
An independent contractor is not bound to work specific hours dictated by an employer. When the sale's agent finds it difficult to close a deal or is unable to produce paperwork in a timely fashion, he cannot just be arbitrarily penalized by the broker. The broker could terminate the contract if the agent does not meet up to his requirements.
On August 1, Batson Company issued a 60-day note with a face amount of $58,800 to Jergens Company for merchandise inventory. (Assume a 360-day year is used for interest calculations.)
a) Determine the proceeds of the note assuming the note carries an interest rate of 10%.
b) Determine the proceeds of the note assuming the note is discounted at 10%.
Answer:
a. $58,800
b. $57,820
Explanation:
Generally, notes are issued on the discounted or face value. It is face value when the price of the note is the same as the face value while it is discounted when the price of the note is lower than the face or par value.
a. Since the note is issued on the face value of $58,800 , it means that the proceed is the same amount. The proceeds from a note that is issued, is that price at which the note is issued.
b. Discount value
= $58,800 × 10% × 60/360
= $980
Proceeds
= Face/par value of the note - Discount value of the note
= $58,800 - $980
= $57,820
Suppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 s_2s 2 s_3s 3 s_4s 4 s_5s 5 s_6s 6 7.0% 7.3% 7.7% 8.1% 8.4% 8.8% What is the discount rate d(0,4)d(0,4)? (Recall that interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless stated otherwise.)
Answer: The answer is 7.53%
Explanation:
To calculate for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)
The discount factor is : d=1/1+i
Provided the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will give the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.
Going with the above, the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;
Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)
Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)
Present value=0.748
The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will hence be 0.748.
Therefore, to calculate the discounting factor for the 4 years:
1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748
(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴
1+d (0,4) =1.0753
d (0,4)=0.0753
Finally, the discount rate will be 7.53%
