Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the service level and the corresponding optimal stocking level is shown below:
Given that
Selling price = SP = $4.50
Cost price = CP = $3.00
So,
Salvage value = V = $1.50
Average daily demand (d) = 35 quarts
The standard deviation of daily demand = 4 quarts
based on the above information
Overage cost = (Co) is
= CP - V
= $3.00 - $1.50
= $1.50
Now
Underage cost= (Cu)
= SP - CP
= $4.50 - $3.00
= $1.50
So,
Service level is
= Cu ÷ (Co + Cu)
= 1.50 ÷ (1.50 + 1.50)
= 1.50 ÷ 3.00
= 0.50
= 50%
Now
At 50 % service level, the value of Z is 0
So,
Optimal stocking level is
= d + Z × standard deviation
= 35 + (0 × 4)
= 35 + 0
= 35 quarts
A manufacturing company has variable overhead costs of $2.50 per unit and fixed costs of $5,000 per month. Each unit requires 4 hours of direct labor and the company expects to produce 2,000 units each month. The standard overhead rate will be
Answer:
Standard Overhead rate is $1.25 per Direct labor hours
Explanation:
Total variable cost (2000 unit * $2.50) = $5,000
Total fixed cost = $5,000
Estimated Overhead cost = $10,000
Estimated Direct labor hour = 2000 unit * 4 hours = 8,000 hours
Standard Overhead rate = Estimated overhead cost / Estimated Direct labor hour
Standard Overhead rate = $10,000 / 8,000 hours
Standard Overhead rate = $1.25 per Direct labor hours
A simple random sample of 20 observations is derived from a normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 3.2. You may find it useful to reference the z table.
a. Is the condition that X−X− is normally distributed satisfied?
Yes
No
b. Compute the margin of error with 95% confidence. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "z" value to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Compute the margin of error with 90% confidence. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "z" value to 3 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
d. Which of the two margins of error will lead to a wider interval?
The margin of error with 95% confidence.
The margin of error with 90% confidence.
Answer:
1. It is satisfied
2. 1.4
3. 1.18
4. 95% confidence is wider
Explanation:
1. It is normally distributed since n<30
2. Margin of error with 95% confidence
= Alpha = 1 - 0.95
= O.05
Alpha/2 = 0.025
Z(0.025) = 1.960
Margin of error = z(1.960)*SD/√n
= 1.960*(3.2/√20)
= 1.960 x 0.7156
= 1.4025
Approximately 1.4
3. At 90%
Alpha = 1 -0.9
= 0.10
Alpha/2 = 0.05
Z(0.05) =1.645
E = 1.645 x 3.2/√20
= 1.645 x 0.7176
= 1.177
Approximately 1.18
4. From the calculations in 2 and 3 it is obvious that the margin of error with 95% confidence interval is wider.

Martine Piccirillo works as the payroll clerk for Centinix, a security company that hires many part-time and temporary workers who are paid on an hourly basis. What law governs the hiring or documenting of these workers?
Answer:
IRCA(Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986)
FLSA(Fair Labor Standards Act)
Explanation:
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) forbids employers from recruiting/hiring any foreign citizen that doesn't have a proper work authorization. That means that all Centinix's employees should have a green card.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the federal standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor. This includes any full time or part time worker employed by Centinix.
The managerial purpose of setting objectives include: Select one: a. Converting the strategic vision into specific performance targets b. Establishing deadlines for achieving performance results c. Challenging the organization to perform at full potential and deliver the best results d. All of these
Answer: d. All of these
Explanation:
Objectives are very important in ensuring that a company achieves that which it wants to achieve. With an objective in mind, the company is able to set deadlines that it can work towards to enable it achieve performance results. Without objectives, there would be no aim in sight to work towards which means that performance cannot truly be measured.
Objectives also help turn a company's strategic vision into actual performable targets which will enable the company achieve its long term goals by breaking the activities into doable segments.
Finally with an objective in mind, employees will be spurred towards it which will enable them to try to perform at full potential and deliver the best results so that they may reach the objectives set.
Say the marginal tax rate is 30 percent and that government expenditures do not change with output. Say also that the economy is at potential output and that the deficit is $200 billion.Required:a. What is the size of the cyclical deficit?b. What is the size of the structural deficit?c. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $200 billion below potential?d. How would your answers to a and b change if the deficit was still $200 billion but output was $100 billion above potential?
Answer:
a. The Cyclical deficit refers to the deficit arising from the difference between the potential output and the actual output.
The question assumes that the economy is producing at potential which means actual output equals potential output.
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 0
Cyclical Deficit = $0
b. Structural deficit occurs even when the economy is at potential because it refers to Government deficits that happen when the economy is experiencing normal activity.
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 0
Structural Deficit = $200 billion
c. Output is $200 billion below potential
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * 200
Cyclical Deficit = $60 billion
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - 60
Structural Deficit = $140 billion
d. Output is $100 billion above potential
Cyclical Deficit = Tax rate * ( Potential Output - Actual Output)
Cyclical Deficit = 0.3 * -100 as actual is above potential
Cyclical Deficit = -$30 billion
Structural Deficit = Actual deficit - Cyclical deficit
Structural Deficit = 200 billion - (-30)
Structural Deficit = $230 billion

Note: Based on the information provided in the question, the average rate of return of this investment is 8% but it is not included in the option. Kindly confirm this from your teacher.
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged and they therefore first sorted before answering the question as follows:
Year Income from Operations Net Cash Flow
1 $100,000 $180,000
2 40,000 120,000
3 40,000 100,000
4 10,000 90,000
5 10,000 120,000
The explanations to the answer is now given as follows:
Calculation of the average rate of return for this investment
Average rate of return (ARR) is a financial ratio that is used to determine the rate of return that is expected from an asset over its lifetime. ARR is calculated as the total income from the assets divided by the initial investment on the assets.
The average rate of return for this investment can be calculated as follows:
Total income form operations over five years = $100,000 + $40,000 + $40,000 $ $10,000 + $10,000 = $200,000
Average income = Total income form operations over five years / Number of years = $200,000 / 5 = $40,000
Average rate of return for this investment = Average income / Cost of Machine = $40,000 / $490,000 = 0.08, or 8%
Therefore, the average rate of return is 8%.
3. “The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions that have outlived their usefulness”. Do you agree?
Answer:
“The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank"
Have they outlived their usefulness?
No.
The IMF and the World Bank have not outlived their usefulness. They remain very useful and relevant to our world today. The problem they have experienced stem in part from the neglect of their purposes, because of the near-absence of the grassroot touch. They can refocus on their purposes and reduce elitistism, and then they continue to be useful.
But, they cannot rediscover and concentrate on their purposes without the cooperation of member-countries. Recalcitrancy does not allow any organized institutions without police power to function at their best. Member-countries must learn to cooperate with these bodies to achieve their purposes. There is still global poverty ravaging the world population, even among the rich and developed countries of the world.
In most developing countries, their national governments are traditionally entrenched as anti-developmental. While they make long and meaningless speeches at world fora, back home they do not walk their talk and so often renege on their promises. This is why it seems that the impact of these world bodies are not being felt. National governments must be able to show responsibility to allow the effects of monetary policies and agreements to benefit the poor and the vulnerable.
Explanation:
The World Bank is an international body of the United Nations with about 189 member-countries. It works with developing countries to reduce poverty, increase access to wealth, and promote global prosperity. The IMF is responsible for ensuring that the international monetary system is operational and stable to ginger sustainable global economic growth.

Complete Question:
Brik Products, located in Atlanta, Georgia, produces two lines of electric toothbrushes: Deluxe and Standard. Because Brik can sell all the toothbrushes it produces, the owners are expanding the plant. They are deciding which product line to emphasize. To make this decision, they assemble the following data:
Per Unit
Deluxe Toothbrush Standard Toothbrush
Sales price $94 $54
Variable expenses 22 16
Contribution margin $72 $36
Contribution margin ratio 75.5% 70.4%
After expansion, the factory will have a production capacity of 4.200 machine hours per month. The plant can manufacture either 68 Standard electric toothbrushes or 26 Deluxe electric toothbrushes per machine hour.
Requirements:
1. Identify the constraining factor for Brik Products.
2. Prepare an analysis to show which product line to emphasize.
Answer:
Brik Products
1. The constraining factor for Brik Products is the 4,200 machine hours.
2. Analysis to show which product line to emphasize:
Product Mix Analysis
Deluxe Standard
Sale price $94 $54
Variable expense 22 16
Contribution margin per unit $72 $38
Number of toothbrushes per hour 26 68
Total contribution margin per hour $1,872 $2,584
Decision: Brik Products should emphasize the production and sale of the Standard electric toothbrushes as this rakes in more contribution per the constraining factor, i.e. machine hours.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Deluxe Standard
Sale price $94 $54
Variable expense 22 16
Contribution margin per unit 72 38 (not $36)
Contribution margin ratio 76.6% (not 75.5%) 70.4%
Number of toothbrushes per hour 26 68
Machine hours available = 4,200 hours
b) Analysis:
For Brik Products, the contribution margin per machine hour = contribution per unit x units per hour. Brik will generate a total contribution margin per product line without producing the other that is equal to the contribution margin per machine hour multiplied by total machine hours.
Assuming that Brik Products concentrates on the production of the standard electric toothbrushes alone, it will generate a total contribution margin of $10,852,800 ($2,584 x 4,200) as against the total contribution margin of $7,862,400 ($1,872 x 4,200) to be generated if only Deluxe electric toothbrushes are produced.
Whistle Stop pays a constant annual dividend of $4 on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 3 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. What is the current price per share if the required return on this stock is 15.6 percent
Answer:
$9.04
Explanation:
Calculation for the current price per share
Using this formula
P0 = Annual dividend[1 − (1/1+Required return)]/ Required return
Let plug in the formula
P0=$4[(1- (1/1+0.156)]/.156
P0 = $4[1 − (1/1.1563)]/.156
P0 = $9.04
Therefore the current price per share will be $9.04
What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 156 shares of Stock A that sell for $45 per share and 130 shares of Stock B that sell for $30 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:
Total Stock price of Stock A = 156 x 45
Total Stock price of Stock A = $7,020
Total Stock price of Stock B = 130 x 30
Total Stock price of Stock B = $3,900
Hence, the total Stock price of Stock of A & B is $7,020 & $3,900 respectively.
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 7,020/ ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 64%
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 3,900 / ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 36%
Hence, the portfolio weight of stock A & B is 64% & 36% respectively.

Answer:
% change in multi-factor productivity = 2.88%
% change in raw materials productivity = -2.94%
% change in labor productivity = 2.33%
Explanation:
2015 2016
Output:
Sales $300,000 $330,000Inputs:
Labor $40,000 $43,000 Raw Materials: $45,000 $51,000 Energy: $10,000 $9,000 Capital Employed: $250,000 $262,000 Other: $2,000 $6,000multi-factor = total output / (labor costs + materials costs + overhead costs)
MFP 2015 = $300,000 / ($40,000 + $45,000 + $10,000 + $250,000 + $2,000) = 0.8646
MFP 2016 = $330,000 / ($43,000 + $51,000 + $9,000 + $262,000 + $6,000) = 0.8895
% change = (0.8895 - 0.8646) / 0.8646 = 0.0288 = 2.88%
raw materials productivity = total output / materials costs
raw materials productivity 2015 = $300,000 / $45,000 = 6.6667
raw materials productivity 2016 = $330,000 / $51,000 = 6.4706
% change = (6.4706 - 6.6667) / 6.6667 = -0.0294 = -2.94%
labor productivity = total output / labor costs
labor productivity 2015 = $300,000 / $40,000 = 7.5
labor productivity 2016 = $330,000 / $43,000 = 7.6744
% change = (7.6744 - 7.5) / 7.5 = 0.0233 = 2.33%
Petrus Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,700 per month plus $8 per frame. For the month of March, the company planned for activity of 610 frames, but the actual level of activity was 613 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $6,870. The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to:
Answer:
The activity variance for supplies cost in March would be closest to $24 (Unfavorable)
Explanation:
The activity variance for supplies cost in March is calculated below
Activity variance = Planning Budget - Flexible Budget
= ($1,700 + ($8 * 610)) - ($1,700 + ($8 * 613))
= ($1,700 + $4,880) - ($1,700 + $4,904)
= $6,580 - $6,604
= $24U
The flexible budget is greater than the planning budget. Therefore, the variance is unfavorable (U)

Use goal seek to answer this question. All else equals, to have a net income of 20,000, the COGS margin percentage must be 40%, and the gross profit must be $17,250.
Explanation:
The income statement is missing, so I looked it up and the information given was:
Revenue 100,000 COGS 40,000 Gross Profit 60,000 Salaries Marketing Rent Earnings Before Tax 23,000Income Tax 25% Net Income ?Since COGS are$40,000 and total sales are $100,000, the COGS margin percentage = 40,000 / 100,000 = 40%
Since earnings before taxes are $23,000 and taxes are 25%, then net income = $23,000 x (1 - 25%) = $23,000 x 75% = $17,250

Explain whether each of the following events shifts the short-run aggregate-supply curve, the aggregate-demand curve, both, and neither. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country.
Answer:
1. Households decide to save a larger share of their income. - Aggregate-Demand Curve
If households in the economy started saving more of their money then this would leave less money for consumption which is one of the components of Aggregate Demand. When Consumption decreases so also will Aggregate Demand thereby shifting the Aggregate-Demand Curve to the left.
2. Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezing temperatures. - Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve
With the Florida Orange Groves suffering from below freezing temperatures, the oranges will not grow as much leading to a poor harvest. This will reduce the supply of oranges in the economy and shift the short-run Aggregate supply curve left.
3. Increased job opportunities overseas cause many people to leave the country. Both Aggregate-Demand Curve and Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve.
With less people in the Economy, there will be less people spending on goods and services which will cause the Aggregate Demand curve to shift to the left.
Also with people leaving the country, the labor force will decrease which will mean that less people are available to produce goods and services so the short-run Aggregate supply curve will shift left.

What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model
Complete Question:
What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model? The company plans to pay an annual dividend of of $4.12 per share in one year. The expected annual growth rate of the dividend is 12.9%, and the required rate of return for the stock is 16.63%. Answer as a percentage, 2 decimal places (e.g., 12.34% as 12.34).
Answer:
12.9%
Explanation:
As we know that:
Capital Gain Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Step 1: Find P0
Po = D1 / (Ke - g)
Here
D1 is $4.12 per share
Ke is 16.63%
g is 12.9%
By putting values, we have:
Po = $4.12 / (16.63% - 12.9%)
= $110.46
Step 2: Find P1
P1 = D2 / (Ke - g)
Here
D2 = D1 * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.12 per share * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.65
Ke is 16.63%
g is 12.9%
By putting values, we have:
Po = $4.65 / (16.63% - 12.9%)
= $124.70
Step3: Find Annual Capital Gain Yield
Capital Gain Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Now by putting values, we have:
Capital Gain Yield = ($124.7 - $110.46) / $110.46
= 12.9%
Beck Kubiak wishes to purchase new appliances for her home. The total cost for the appliances is $2,900. To finance the purchase, Becky must pay 20% down, with the balance being financed with a 24-month installment loan with an APR of 8.5%. Determine Becky's total finance charge and her monthly payment
Answer:
total finance charge = $203.08
her monthly payment = $105.13
Explanation:
The Loan amount = Cost of Appliance - Down Payment
= $2,900 - ($2,900 × 20%)
= $2,320
Change the APR to nominal compounding,
Using a Financial Calculator, this will be :
8.50 % Shift EFF%
12 Shift P/YR
Shift NOM % = 8.19%
Then calculate the monthly payment as follows :
Pv = $2,320
n = 24
p/yr = 12
r = 8.19%
Fv = $0
PMT = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, monthly payment, PMT is $105.13
Total Finance Charge will then be obtained from the amortization schedule from the First Period to the 24th Period and this will be : $203.08.
