Answer:
d. 25%.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Tax revenue, T = $320 billion
Education budget, Eb = $80 billion
To find the percentage of the tax revenue spent on education, we would use the formula;
[tex] Percentage = \frac {E_{b}}{T} * 100 [/tex]
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Percentage = \frac {8,000,000,000}{32,000,000,000} * 100 [/tex]
[tex] Percentage = \frac {1}{4} * 100 [/tex]
Percentage = 25%
An important sustainability issue that has received much more scrutiny in recent years is the: focus on adequate inventory levels. reduction in packaging waste by using alternate materials. effort to move warehouse storage closer to consumers. emphasis on materials handling and warehouse design. none of the above
Answer:
reduction in packaging waste by using alternate materials.
Explanation:
An important sustainability issue that has received much more scrutiny in recent years is the reduction in packaging waste through the use of alternative materials. You can see this happening through new laws that prohibit the use of plastic bags in supermarkets and plastic drinking straws, for example.
There are several companies that seek the use of biodegradable packaging, even if these are not provided for by law. Companies seek to adopt sustainable actions in their processes to demonstrate to their stakeholders that they follow ideal standards of environmental preservation and social awareness. This is a positive type of marketing for companies, as the population is more aware and wants to consume more from environmentally responsible companies.These companies then become more valued by their consumers and consequently more competitive and well positioned in the market
You wish to retire in 20 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annual annuity of $30,000 for 25 years after retirement. During the period before retirement you can earn 11 percent annually, while after retirement you can earn 13 percent on your money. What annual contributions to the retirement fund will allow you to receive the $30,000 annuity
Answer:
$3,425.08
Explanation:
The computation of the annual contributions to the retirement fund is shown below:
The Present value of the annuity is
= $30,000 × [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 13%)^25)] ÷ 13%
= $219,899.55
Now
Future value of annuity = P×[(1+r)^n-1]÷r
$219,899.55 = P×[(1+11%)^20-1]÷11%
Hence, Annual contribution required, P = $3,425.08

Direct labor $11.10/unit;
Variable manufacturing overhead per unit $9.10/unit.
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit $9.10/unit.
($373,100 ÷ 41,000 units)
Units cost $37.4
Therefore the unit cost using variable costing and absorption costing are:
Variable costing $28.3
Absorption costing $37.4
Kevin promises to pay Macarena, his daughter, $5,000 if she obtains her degree at Brookdale community College, where she is currently in her first year. Macarena graduates. If a Court refuses to enforce the agreement it would most likely be because:
Question Completion with Options:
A. Macarena finished college.
B. Obtaining a college degree benefits Macarena.
C. A job can be hard to find after college.
D. Macarena was already in college.
Answer:
If a Court refuses to enforce the agreement it would most likely be because:
D. Macarena was already in college.
Explanation:
Macarena was currently in her first year when the promise was made by her father. This means that Macarena is not giving any consideration for the father's promise. But, if she enters the college based on the promise and eventually graduates in the college, then the court will not likely refuse to enforce the agreement. Kevin's promise to pay Macarena $5,000 is not enforceable because of past consideration.

Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand for a good is very elastic, quantity demanded is _____ to a change in price and the demand curve is relatively _____. Group of answer choices
Answer:
1. Responsive
2. Elastic
Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand for a good is very elastic, quantity demanded is RESPONSIVE to a change in price and the demand curve is relatively ELASTIC.
This is because the price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to a change in price.
Consequently, as the quantity demanded changes, the demand curve then becomes relatively elastic, by shifting either to the right or left.

. If it outsources the navigation system, fixed costs could be reduced by half, and the vacant facilities could be rented out to earn $2000 per month of rental income. What is the maximum contract cost that Fruit Boat Company should pay for outsourcing
Answer: $2,425
Explanation:
Fruit Boat should not pay more for the contract than they would if they were producing the good themselves.
= Variable cost + Avoidable fixed costs + Opportunity cost per month
Avoidable fixed cost = (39,000 / 2) / 10 boats = 19,500 / 10 = $1,950

Ponzi Products produced 100 chain-letter kits this quarter, resulting in a total cash outlay of $10 per unit. It will sell 50 of the kits next quarter at a price of $11, and the other 50 kits in the third quarter at a price of $12. It takes a full quarter for Ponzi to collect its bills from its customers. (Ignore possible sales in earlier or later quarters.)
a. What is the net income for Ponzi next quarter?
b. What are the cash flows for the company this quarter?
c. What are the cash flows for the company in the third quarter?
d. What is Ponzi’s net working capital in the next quarter?
Answer:
Ponzi Products
a) Net income for the next quarter:
= $50
b) Cash outflow for this quarter = $1,000
c) Cash inflow in the third quarter = $550
d) Net working capital in the next quarter = $550
Explanation:
a) Production of chain-letter kits for the quarter = 100 units
Total production cost (outlay) = $1,000 (100 * $10)
Sales in the second quarter = $550 (50 * $11)
Sales in the third quarter = $600 (50 * $12)
Cash collections:
Third quarter = $550
Fourth quarter = $600
a) Net income for the next quarter:
Sales revenue = $550
Production cost 500 ($1,100 * 50/100)
Net income = $50 ($550 - $500)
b) Cash outflow for this quarter = $1,000
c) Cash inflow in the third quarter = $550
d) Net working capital in the next quarter = $550
Papermill Plc was acquired by a private equity firm, whose investment horizon is 5 years and minimum IRR requirement is 20.0%. The private equity firm estimates the exit EBITDA and exit EV EBITDA multiple to be 1,200.0 and 11.0x, respectively. The EBITDA at entry is 1,100.0 and the amount of debt financing raised at entry is 7.0x EBITDA. The cash flow model built by the private equity firm estimates the debt to be 5.0x EBITDA at exit. Using the assumptions above, estimate the equity funding of the deal at entry.
Sales 1,000.0
Cost of goods sold 600.0
Selling, general and administration 100.0
Interest expense 50.0
Tax expense 75.0
The estimated equity funding of the deal at entry is $2,893.52
EV means Enterprise value
EBITDA means Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization
Given that the private equity firm estimates that:
Exit EBITDA = 1,200
EV / EBITDA = 11.0x
To derive EV from the EV / EBITDA, then EV / EBITDA is multiplied by EBITDA.
EV = EV / EBITDA * EBITDA (i.e.)
EV = 11 * 1,200
EV = 13,200
Given that the private equity firm estimates the debt to be 5.0x EBITDA at exit.
Debt = 5.0 * EBITDA at exit
Debt = 5.0 * 1,200
Debt = 6,000
To derive the equity value at exit, the debt is subtracted from the EV
Equity value at exit = EV - Debt
Equity value at exit = 13,200 - 6,000
Equity value at exit = 7,200
The equity funding of the deal at entry will be derived using this formula "Equity value at exit / (1 + IRR)^n" where IRR is 20% and n is 5 years
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / (1 + 20%)^5
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / (1 + 0.20)^5
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / (1.20)^5
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 7,200 / 2.48832
Equity funding of the deal at entry = 2893.518518518519
Equity funding of the deal at entry = $2,893.52 (approx).

Sheffield Corp. has old inventory on hand that cost $21000. Its scrap value is $30000. The inventory could be sold for $70000 if manufactured further at an additional cost of $21000. What should Sheffield do?
Answer:
Sell the inventory for $30000 scrap value
Explanation:
In the first place, if the old inventory is disposed of at $30,000 and cash inflow of $30,000 would be received
However, if manufactured by further by incurring an additional cost of $21,000,the incremental income is computed thus:
incremental income=sales value-scrap value-additional cost
Remember scrap value is a lost benefit if the inventory is processed further and not sold in its current state.
incremental income=$70,000-$30,000-$21000
incremental income=$19,000(less than cash flow when disposed of at scrap value, hence, the inventory should be sold at $30,000)

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The options read;
a) E= 5000 (1-0.05) + 10 * 12 * H * (1 - 0.08).
b) E= 5000 (1-0.05) + 10 * 12 * H * (1 - 0.08) H≤15 (this reads: H less or equal to 15.
c) E= 5000 * (1 - 0.95) + 12 * H * (1 - 0.08) H≤15 [this reads: H less or equal to 15].
d) E= 5000 (1-0.05) + 12 * H * (1-0.08).
Answer:
b) E= 5000 (1-0.05) + 10 * 12 * H * (1 - 0.08) H≤15 (this reads: H less or equal to 15.
Explanation:
Using this model we note the following,
H is represented by 15 (hours)5% handling fee represented by 0.058% income tax is represented by 0.08rate is represented by 12 ($)Substituting this data into the model we have:
⇒ 5000 (1-0.05) + 10 * 12 * 15 * (1 - 0.08)
⇒ 4750 + 1800 (1-0.08)
⇒ 4750+1656 = $6406.
You report to Sofia Cardenas-Bratton, the Marketing Manager for Klamath, but she confesses that her experience with social media consists of an online course that she took on how businesses effectively use social media, so she is relying on you to help shape Klamath's social media strategy. You suggest that you'd like to start with regularly publishing a blog to reinforce Klamath's value to its customers. You point out it's important to publish posts on a regular basis in order to keep visitors engaged, and one study found that publishing blogs at least 11 times per month generated the most traffic on company websites. You and Sofia brainstorm about topics for the first week's blogs and come up with a list of three topics that you both feel will be of value to Klamath's customers: improving your credit score, the advantages of community banks vs. large banks, and buying a house. In which order are you going to tackle these blogs
The order in which I would tackle these blogs are: buying a house, improving your credit score, and the advantages of community banks.
Since the blogs are meant to benefit the customers of Klamath the most, the first issue to tackle is on the purchase of a house, which is always rated high by customers.
The purchase of a house will also help to improve the credit scores of customers because customers who own their houses attract higher credit scores than those without houses of their own.
Then, the issue of credit scores will be tackled in the next blog, followed by the advantages of community banks vs. large banks.
Thus, tackling this blog dealing on an issue that is very dear to customers will be the first before other issues are tackled.

You have a portfolio that is 29 percent invested in Stock R, 12 percent invested in Stock S, with the remainder in Stock T. The expected return on these stocks is 9.8 percent, 11.2 percent, and 13.5 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer: 12.15%
Explanation:
The expected return is a weighted average of the returns of the individual stocks and the percentage of the portfolio invested in them.
= (Weight of R * Return of R) + (Weight of S + Return of S) + (Weight of T + Return of T)
= (29% * 9.8%) + (12% * 11.2%) + ( (1 - 29% - 12%) * 13.5%)
= 12.15%
Demand for a specific design of dinning sets has been fairly large in the past several years and Statewide Furnishings, Inc. usually orders new dinning sets 10 times a year. It is estimated that the ordering cost is $400 per order. The carrying cost is $50 per unit per year. Furthermore, State Wide Furnishings, Inc. has estimated that the stock out cost is $120 per unit per year. Based on forecast, the annual demand is 600 units. State Wide Furnishings, Inc. has 350 working days in a year and its lead time is 14 working days.

a. 592.82
b. 1472.01
c. 2051.28
d. 4116.11
e. None of the above
Answer:
e. None of the above
Explanation:
Annual demand, D = 600 units
Ordering cost, S = $400
Holding cost, H = $50
Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*D*S/H)
Economic order quantity without stock-out = SQRT(2*600*400/50)
Economic order quantity without stock-out = 98
Total annual ordering cost = (D/Q)*S + (Q/2)*H
Total annual ordering cost = (600/98)*$400 + (98/2)*$50
Total annual ordering cost = $2,448.97 + $2,450
Total annual ordering cost = $4,898.97

An electronics store introduces three new types of music players to its customers. Each of the new music players are priced at $99, $79, and $59. Which psychological pricing approach is the store using to price the music players
Answer: The case of the number nine
Explanation:
Studies have shown that the human brain prefers to buy things whose prices end with the number 9 as opposed to zero such as 10 or 100.
The brain apparently interprets the number 9 at the end of a price to mean that the person is saving money and getting better value by buying the product. In making all three prices end in nine, the electronics store is using this psychological pricing strategy.
