Answer: $120 billion
Explanation:
Fron the question, we are told that an economy is in a recession and needs to expand by at least $300 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6.
The least amount the government can spend to overcome the $300 billion gap goes thus:
Since MPC = 0.6, then the multiplier will be:
= 1/(1-MPC)
= 1/(1-0.6)
= 1/0.4
=2.5
We are also informed that the required change in the money supply is $300 billion. Then, the investment needed will be:
= Expansion/Multiplier
= $300 billion/2.5
= $120 billion
Total Variable Overhead Variance Mulliner Company showed the following information for the year:
Standard variable overhead rate (SVOR) per direct labor hour $3.50
Standard hours (SH) allowed per unit 3
Actual production in units 20,000
Actual variable overhead costs $220,500
Actual direct labor hours 61,200
Required:
1. Calculate the standard direct labor hours for actual production.
2. Calculate the applied variable overhead.
3. Calculate the total variable overhead variance.
Answer:
1. The standard direct labor hours for actual production
Standard hours per unit: 3 hours
Actual output: 20,000
Standard labour hours for actual production = 20,000 * 3
=60,000 hours
2. Applied variable Overhead
Standard hours allowed per unit = 3
Overhead rate per hour = $3.5
Standard Overhead rate per unit = Standard hours allowed per unit * OH rate per hour =3 hours * $3.5
=10.5
Actual output = 20000
Variable OH applied = Actual output * Standard Overhead rate per unit
= 20,000 * $10.5
= $210,000
3. Total Variable Overhead variance
Actual Oh incurred $220,500
Std variable Overhead to be allowed $210,000
Total Variable OH variance $10,500 (Unfavourable)
Praxis Corp. is expected to generate a free cash flow (FCF) of $7,360.00 million this year (FCF₁ = $7,360.00 million), and the FCF is expected to grow at a rate of 20.20% over the following two years (FCF₂ and FCF₃). After the third year, however, the FCF is expected to grow at a constant rate of 2.46% per year, which will last forever (FCF₄). Assume the firm has no nonoperating assets. If Praxis Corp.’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7.38%, what is the current total firm value of Praxis Corp.? (Note: Round all intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
Answer:
$202,216.54 million
Explanation:
FCF₁ = $7,360 million
FCF₂ = $8,846.72 million
FCF₃ = $10,633.76 million
FCF₄ = $10,910.24 million and will continue to grow at 2.46%
we must first determine the terminal value at year 3:
terminal value = $10,910.24 million / (7.38% - 2.46%) = $221,752.85 million
firm's current total value = $7,360 million / 1.0738 + $8,846.72 million / 1.0738² + $10,633.76 million / 1.0738³ + $221,752.85 / 1.0738³ = $6,854.16 + $7,672.48 + $8,588.49 + $179,101.41 = $202,216.54

Kindzi Co. has preferred stock outstanding that is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.18 every year in perpetuity. If the required return is 4.19 percent, what is the current stock price?
Answer:
The current price of the stock is $99.76
Explanation:
The price of a stock which pays a constant dividend throughout for an indefinite period of time can be calculated using the present value of perpetuity formula. The stock qualifies as a perpetuity as it pays a constant cash flow after equal intervals of time and for indefinite time period.
The formula for the present value of perpetuity is,
Present Value = Cash Flow or Dividend / r
Where,
r is the discount ratePresent value = 4.18 / 0.0419
Present value = $99.76
So, the current price of the stock is $99.76

Explanation:
Osborn Manufacturing uses a predetermined overhead rate of $20.00 per direct labor-hour. This predetermined rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $276,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 13,800 direct labor-hours. The company actually incurred $275,000 of manufacturing overhead and 13,300 direct labor-hours during the period.
Required:
a. Determine the amount of underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the period.
b. Assume that the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to Cost of Goods Sold. Would the journal entry to dispose of the underapplied or overhead increase or decrease the company's gross margin? By how much?
Answer:
1. Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual hours * Predetermined overhead rate
Manufacturing overhead applied = 13300 * $20
Manufacturing overhead applied = $266,000
From the question, Osborn Manufacturing actually incurred $275,000 of manufacturing overhead. Hence, the Manufacturing overhead is under-applied because the applied manufacturing overhead is less than the actual manufacturing overhead
Hence, Manufacturing overhead under-applied = $275,000 - $266,000
= $9,000
2. Since the applied manufacturing overhead is less than the actual manufacturing overhead, the gross margin would decrease by $9,000. The journal entry will use the under-applied manufacturing overhead for record.
If Takeoff withdraws a $100 bill from his checking account and Quavo deposits another $100 bill in his saving account how much will M1 and M2 change
Answer:
M2 Will be unchanged
while M1 will decrease by $100
Explanation:
M1 will be the cash and coins + checking account + traveler check (it is consideread near-money)
Takeoff Transactions is whitin the M1 metric. Quavo transactions is not included thus, M1 decrease by 100
While M2 includes M1 and it adds the saving deposits thereofre, Quavo operation is included in this concept so we get:
-200 from takoff + 100 from Quavo = zero
No change arise from the combination of this transactions.
The Freeman Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated below. The corporate tax rate is 34 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.
a. Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)
c. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. What is the NPV of the project?
Complete question is given at the end of the question.
Answer with Explanation:
Requirement 1:
Net Income is an accounting profits which includes both cash flow items and non cash flow items. It can be calculated as under:
Net Income = (Sales - Cost - Depreciation) - (Income Before Tax * Tax Rate)
The computation is given in the Second excel sheet attached.
Requirement 2:
According to relevant costing principles if the cost is relevant then it must satisfy following conditions:
Must be cash flow in nature.Must be Future related (no past commitments).Differential or must be incrementalSo this means that the depreciation would not be taken into account as it is not a relevant cost and thus must not be included as an incremental cost.
Incremental Cash flow can be calculated using the following formula:
Incremental Cash Flow = Net Income + Depreciation (Removing its impact) - Working Capital Injection + Working Capital Withdrawal
The calculation for each year is shown in the second attachment.
Requirement 3:
The NPV can be calculated by discounting each year cash flow by the rate of return which in this case is 12%.
The formula for calculating the NPV is as under:
NPV = Investment in year zero - Net Cash Flow of Y1 / (1 + r)^1 - Net Cash Flow of Y2 / (1 + r)^2 - Net Cash Flow of Y3 / (1 + r)^3 - Net Cash Flow of Y4 / (1 + r)^4
The computation of NPV is given in the second attachment given below:
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley owned acre as joint tenants in fee simple absolute. Ms Kingsley secretly conveyed her interest to herself in an instrument that added, "I hereby terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre with Mr. Kingsley." Ms. Kingsley thereafter leased a portion of the property to Mr. Matthew, over the objections of Mr. Kingsley for Mr. Matthew to use for holding boxing matches. Their lease provided that Mr. Matthew would pay $1000.00 on the first day of each month during which he was permitted to use the property. Mr. Kingsley demanded from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents received from Mr. Matthew.
Required:
Describe the property relations between the parties and Mr. Kingsley's rights and remedies.
Answer:
Mr. and Ms. Kingsley as Joint Tenants
1. Property Relations between Mr. and Ms. Kingsley: The titles show that the Kingsleys are living together but not married partners. However, the Black-acre is jointly owned by these partners. Each has equal rights and obligations over the acre. Ms. Kingsley does not have absolute right to sell or lease any part of the acre without the consent of Mr. Kingsley or without obtaining a court permit to sell or lease, especially upon Mr. Kingsley's objections. She also lacks the legal right to secretly "terminate the joint tenancy in Black-acre" without the knowledge of Mr. Kingsley or without going through the applicable court process.
2. Mr. Kingsley's Rights and Remedies: Having leased a portion of the acre to Mr. Matthew, Mr. Kingsley is entitled to half of the monthly lease payments. He also has the right to demand from Ms. Kingsley one-half of the rents from the lease. He can, in the absence of Ms. Kingsley's refusal, initiate a court process to enforce his joint-tenancy rights.
Explanation:
Joint-tenancy can exist between Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Kingsley, whether they are legally married or not. Joint-tenancy can also exist between two or more parties without the intention of marriage. The term is a legal term that describes an equally shared ownership interest in a property. Joint-tenancy deeds are established in order to avoid the need for a probate in the case of a party's death.

5 94,000 0
Payback period =
Answer:
2.554 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
to derive cash flow from net income, add depreciation back
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
$140,000 / 5 = $28,000
depreciation expense each year would be $28,000
cash flow in year 1 = $9500 + $28,000 = $37,500
cash flow in year 2= $23,500 + $28,000 =$51,500
cash flow in year 3 =$64,000 + $28,000 = $92,000
cash flow in year 4 =$35,500 + $28,000 = $63,500
cash flow in year 5 =$94,000 + $28,000 = $122,000
in year 1, the amount recovered = $-140,000 + $37,500 = $-102,500
in year 2, the amount recovered = $-102,500 + $51,500 = $-51,000
in year 3, the amount recovered = $-51,000 + $92,000 = $41,000
the amount invested is recovered in 2 years + 51,000 / 92,000 = 2.554 years
A production line at V. J. Sugumaran's machine shop has three stations. The first station can process a unit in 9 minutes. The second station has three identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 15 minutes (each unit only needs to be processed on one of the three machines). The third station can process a unit in 7 minutes. Which station is the bottleneck station?
Answer:
Station 1 is a bottleneck station because the processing time taken to process the product in such station is 9 minute when compared with Station 2 and Station 3
Explanation:
Station 1 = Processing time is 9 minutes
Station 2 = Processing time is 5 minutes per unit (15 minutes / 3 machines)
Station 3 = Processing time is 7 minutes
Thus, the Station 1 is the bottleneck station with a bottleneck time of 9 minutes per unit.
1. Suppose the Kenyan shilling (KS) is currently traded at KS 1.4/$.The Ethiopian Birr (EB) is traded at E B1.39/$.Ignoring transaction costs: A. Determine the KS/EB exchange rate consistent with these direct quotations
Answer:
The answer is KS 1.01/EB.
Explanation:
This is an example of a cross rate.
Cross rate refers to an exchange rate between two currencies that is calculated based on the exchange rate of each of the two currencies to a third currency.
For this question, the cross rate KS/EB will be estimated by reference the US dollar which is third currency. This can be calculated by simply dividing the KS 1.4/$ by the E B1.39/$ as follows:
KS/EB = 1.4 / 1.39 = 1.01
That is, the answer is KS 1.01/EB.

In the mid 1980s, what emerging product market did a major foreign competitor capitalized on and Kodak miss due to a poor understanding of the company's core competency
Answer:
Kodak missed the digital camera revolution that it started.
Explanation:
According to history, Kodak's Steve Sasson was the first to invent a digital camera prototype in 1975.
But, Kodak relied on its past successes to the extent that it could not see beyond its shoulders. Kodak spotted digital technology opportunity in its business, but it lacked the foresight to sharpen its core competency so that it could redefine the market and its business from a film producing and selling company to one that gives consumers the opportunity to share images online. It lacked the competency to understand the emerging needs of its customers and woefully failed to invest rightly in digital technology.
On the other hand, Fuji created new opportunities for itself that were related to its core business by branching into magnetic tape optics, videotape, copiers, and office automation. As a result, it overtook Kodak in market share while Kodak submerged into bankruptcy, from which it later emerged stronger better than it was before the bankruptcy but smaller.
Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours.

= $ 425,600 / 30,400
= $14.00 per machine-hour
Applied overheads to job T687 = Predetermined rate × Actual machine hours used
= $14.00 × 20
= $280
Conclusion :
The amount of overhead applied to Job T687 is closest to: $280.
Companies that have multiple outsourcers may hire an outsource relationship management company to monitor and manage the outsourcing relationships. Select one: True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
But, this answer depends on which companies are outsourcing to and from. This is because the definition of an outsourcer is the large company that outsources the provision of its goods and services to smaller companies and also the small company that provides goods and services to larger companies. It is a pari-passu definition.
If the companies involved in this case are providers of outsourcing services, then they do not require an outsource relationship management company to monitor and manage the outsourcing relationships. Instead, it could occasionally employ consultants to help them in assessing how the relationships are being managed. It is their primary responsibility to manage the outsourcing relationships and should not outsource this management.
Once the U.S. government opened its domestic markets to international trade, the competition from imported cars, steel, and other products caused demand for similar U.S. goods to
Answer: b. fall, leading to lower output, fewer workers, and an overall decline in union membership.
Explanation:
Once the US Government opened up its market to international trade, the competition from imported cars, steel, and other products caused demand for similar U.S. goods to fall. This happened because people started importing more goods from outside as they were cheaper than the goods produced in the US. Chinese steel for instance, did not have the same high labor input costs as US steel and so could be sold at cheaper levels.
As a result of less people demanding US products, the companies had to reduce output to reduce the losses they were making. This led them to let some of their workers go and as the people were no longer working, Unions lost members.

Centore Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month. Work In Process Finished Goods Cost of Goods Sold Total Direct materials $ 650 $ 7,590 $ 24,860 $ 33,100 Direct labor 2,180 20,700 67,800 90,680 Manufacturing overhead applied 930 7,130 22,940 31,000 Total $ 3,760 $ 35,420 $ 115,600 $ 154,780 Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $3,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:
Answer:
$3,833
Explanation:
The computation of the work in process inventory after allocating the underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is shown below:
But before that we need to compute the amount i.e added which is given below
Amount added is
= Total work in process × manufacturing overhead underapplied ÷ total cost
= $3,760 × $3,000 ÷$154,780
= $72.88
Now the amount of work in process inventory at the end of June is
= $3,760 + $72.88
= $3,833
has a margin of safety percentage of 20% based on its actual sales. The break-even point is $759000 and the variable expenses are 60% of sales. Q: Given this information, the actual profit is:
Answer: $379,500
Explanation:
Total Sales = Break-even sales + Margin of Safety
The Break-Even sales are therefore = 100% - 20%
= 80% of sales
Total Sales is therefore;
Break-even = 80% * Total Sales
Total Sales = Break-even/80%
= 759,000/0.8
= $948,750
Assuming no fixed costs, actual profit will be Sales less Variable expenses;
=Sales - Variable expenses
= 1 - 60%
Actual profit = 40% * Sales
= 40% * 948,750
= $379,500
Talk to a 55-year-old (or older) business professional nearing retirement. This person can be a family member, friend, or mentor. List and describe the savings, investments, and risk management strategies for this phase of life. Describe how financial planning has changed from the earlier phase of life.
Answer:
The financial planning will differ for the person according to their age. A person who is 50 years older would have money only from his savings. The 55 year old person is retired and would only have money available for living from the saving he had made while he was working. He will not have any other source of income.
Explanation:
The risk management officer should consider the investments by considering his available savings. He should also consider the money required for living as there is no other source of income. The risk appetite for such an old aged individual will be low. He must be risk averse in the situation of retirement. The financial planning strategies changes for the person over the different phases of life. When a person is young and starts the job at age of 25 he might take excessive risks for getting extra returns. He is young and energetic, has ability to work part time along with his routine job to earn extra money.
