A newly formed firm must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs than locating near the market, but the owners believe there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favor local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $172 in either case.

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity =15.6%

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  

YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

n- number of years

DATA  

Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 14%=140

Face Value = 1000

YM-?, C- 140, Face Value - 1,000, P-911 , n- 10

YM = (140 + (1000-911)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 911) )  

YM = 0.156 × 100 = 15.6%

JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Answers

Answer:

The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30

Explanation:

To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

r is the rate of interestt is the time in years

Future value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5

Future value = $1514.30

Answers

Answer:

$2.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimation of   variable cost per unit

                        Units     Total cost

High method  15,000×$5  per units  =$75,000

(5,000*3)=15,000

Low  method  5,000*$10 per units=$50,000

Difference  10,000     $25,000  

Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000

Variable cost per unit=$2.50

Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)

Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50

c. Calculate the firm?s free cash flow (FCF) for the year ended December 31, 2015
d. Interpret, compare, and contrast your cash flow estimates in parts b and c.

Answers

Answer:

a. NOPAT = EBIT * (1-t)

NOPAT = $2,700 * (1-0.40)

NOPAT = $1,620

b. OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation

OCF = $1,620 + $1,600

OCF = $3,220

c. FCF = Net fixed asset investment - Net current asset investment

FCF = $3,320 - $1,400 -  $1,400

FCF = $420

Note:

Net fixed asset investment = Change in net fixed assets + depreciation

= ($14,800- $ 15,000) + $1,600

= $1,400

Net current asset investment = Change in current assets - Change in accounts payable and accurals

= ($8,200 - $6,800) - {($1,600 + $200) - ($1,500 - $300)}

= $1,400

d. FCF is meaningful as it shows that OCF is able to cover Operating expenses as well as Investment in Fixed and Current Assets

A new product is presently under development and will have an expected selling price of not more than $68 per unit in order to remain competitive with similar products in the marketplace. Required: a. Calculate gross profit and the gross profit ratio for the year.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is:

Gross profit is $315,000

Gross profit ratio is 30 percent

Explanation:

Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales

Net sales - $1,050,000

Cost of sales - ($735,000)

Gross profit -. $315,000

Gross profit ratio is:

(Gross profit / net sales) x 100 percent

($315,000 / $1,050,000) x 100 percent

0.3 x 100 percent

30 percent.

So we have:

Gross profit is $315,000

Gross profit ratio is 30 percent

b. $401,000

Explanation:

Currents assets refer to assets that are possible to be employed, exhausted, consumed, or sold withing a one year during the normal business activities of a company.

Current assets therefore include cash, cash equivalent and other assets that are expected to be changed to cash within one year.

From the question, we have;

Cash- $234,000

Accounts payable- $97,000

Inventories- $121,000

Notes payable (due 2020)- $211,000

Land- $453,000

Accounts receivable- $46,000

Therefore, current assets of Wing Company can be computed as follows:

Current assets = Cash + Inventories + Accounts receivable = $234,000 + $121,000 + $46,000 = $401,000

Therefore, the correct option is b. $401,000.

The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days. Meanwhile, the firm writes an average of $17,000 in checks to pay its suppliers per day. The usual clearing time for the checks the firm wrote is 2 days. The current interest rate is 0.015 percent per day. What is the most the firm should be willing to pay today (in a lump sum today) to eliminate its float entirely? A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000

Answers

Answer:

$26000

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

we first calculate collection flaot:

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate disbursements float:

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

= $26000

Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $73,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $6,450 at the end of five years. Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation expense for 2022 would be

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $17,640

Explanation:

Equipment was bought on Jan. 1, 2022 for $73,500. This is the historical cost of the asset.

Residual value is $6,450. This is the amount the equipment is being expected to sell for at the end of its useful life.

Useful life is 5 years.

To know the percentage to be used for the depreciation, we have:

100percent / 5 years

= 20 percent

Double-declining is 40 percent(20 percent x 2)

Depreciation for 2021 is

$73,500 x 40 percent

= $29,400.

Carrying amount at the end of 2021 which will also be for the beginning of 2022 is $44,100 ($73,500 - $29,400)

Depreciation for 2022:

$44,100 x 40 percent

$17,640.

Therefore, the depreciation for 2022 is $17,640.

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?

Answers

Answer:

I will borrow yen at 6% a year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000

Spot rate = $1 = ¥107

Forward rate = $1 to ¥120

Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months

Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)

Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)

Gain from forward contract = $404.99

Interest cost for borrowing =      112.15

Overall debt hedging gain =  $292.84

By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84.  This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen.  Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.

A publisher is deciding whether or not to invest in a new printer. The printer would cost $900, and would increase the cash flows in year 1 by $500 and in year 3 by $800. Cash flows do not change in year 2.If the interest rate is 12% Is the investment in the new printer feasible?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, since NPV>0

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of cash inflows - initial investment

where,

Present value of cash inflows is

= $500 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^1 + $800 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^3

= $446.43 + $569.42

= $1,015.85

And the intial investment is $900

So, the net present value is

= $1,015.85 - $900

= $115.85

Since the net present value comes in positive so the investment in new printer is feasible

Answers

Answer:

11.40

32 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.

They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks

inventory turnover =  Cost of goods sold/ average inventory

Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000

Inventory turnover =  $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40

days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days

Depreciation:                         ($25)

Profit                                   $197,475

Now we can calculate how much additional sales must be required to justify the promotion.

Sales Increase Required = (Initial Profit - Before Promotion) / Profit After Promotion

Sales Increase Required = ($247,475  - $197,475) / $197,475

Sales Increase Required = 25.31% which is close to option 1, hence Option 1 is correct here.

Promotion is termed as the activity that involves the spreading or publicizing of information regarding the products and services. It is a part of marketing that involves publicity and public relations between the customers.  

The correct option is A. 25.13% more shoes

Cost Benefit analysis would be useful here to acknowledge what percentage of shoe sales is required to justify the promotion.

The Benefit drew before 10% promotion proposal:

A NASDAQ security is bid at $30.25 and offered at $30.75. An over-the-counter trader effects a trade at $30.75 and charges a commission of $.50 to the customer. The price that will show on the tape is:

Answers

Answer:

$30.75

Explanation:

Given that

Security bidding = $30.25

Offered price = $30.75

over the counter trading = $30.75

Commission charged = $0.50

based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50

Hence, the price is $30.75

What is the beta for a company with a 12% expected return, while treasury bills are yielding 5% and the market risk premium is 7%

Answers

Answer:

The beta for the company is 1.

Explanation:

A beta is the measure of systematic risk associated to a stock or the portfolio. Systematic risk is the market risk that affects all the stocks in the market due to factors that are uncontrollable. Such a risk is what the companies compensate the investors for. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the expected rate of return of a stock. The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

We already have the values for r, rRF and rpM. Plugging them in the formula, we calculate the beta to be,

0.12 = 0.05  +  Beta * 0.07

0.12 - 0.05 = Beta * 0.07

0.07/ 0.07 = Beta

Beta = 1

(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

geometric mean return = 1.2%

arithmetic mean return = 1.21%

Explanation:

Year            Price            Dividend              Yearly return

1                  $43.37                 -                            0

2                 $48.35            $0.60                      1.24%

3                 $57.27            $0.63                       1.1%

4                 $45.35            $0.80                       1.76%

5                 $52.27            $0.85                       1.63%

6                  $61.35            $0.93                       1.52%

geometric mean return = [(1 + 0) x (1 + 0.0124) x (1 + 0.011) x (1 + 0.0176) x (1 + 0.0163) x (1 + 0.0152)]¹/⁶ - 1 = 1.012 - 1 = 0.012 = 1.2%

arithmetic mean return = (0% + 1.24% + 1.1% + 1.76% + 1.63% + 1.52%) / 6 = 7.25% / 6 = 1.21%

Costs which can be eliminated in whole or in part if a particular business segment is discontinued are called:

Answers

Answer:

Avoidable costs

Explanation:

An avoidable cost is defined as one that an entity will not incur if a particular activity is not undertaken.

In business operations avoidable costs are usually variable costs. These are costs that vary or change in the cost of production. For example wages, cost of raw materials, and labour. These can be avoided depending on business needs.

Costs that are not avoidable are fixed cost. For example rent, insurance, and utilities.

These costs are paid wether production occurs or not.

At Jacobson Company, indirect labor is a variable cost that varies with direct labor-hours. Last month’s performance report showed that actual indirect labor cost totaled $5,780 for the month and that the associated spending variance was $245 Favorable. If 24,100 direct labor-hours were actually worked last month, then the flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor must be (per direct labor-hour):

Answers

Answer:

Flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor is  $0.25 per DL hours

Explanation:

Flexible budget cost for indirect labor = Actual indirect labor cost + Associated spending variance

= $5,780 + $245

= $6,025

Flexible budget cost formula for indirect labor= Flexible budget cost for indirect labor / Direct labor-hours

= $6,025 / 24,100 DL hours

= $0.25 per DL hours

Tyler Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit. Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000 Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800 Selling and Administrative costs $186,000 $202,200 The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is: Group of answer choices $230,020 $51,410 $146,810 $32,330

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit.

Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000

Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800

First, we need to determine the unitary variable cost:

unitary variable cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8

unitary variable cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8

Now, the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4

Finally, the total contribution margin:

total contribution margin= 5,300*43.4= $230,020

The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is option A $230,020.

Total Contribution Margin

To Calculate the Contribution Margin, we need to find the value of the unitary variable cost, and their margin. We are provided with these information:

Selling price $127.20 per unit.

Sales volume  5,000, & 6,000

Cost of Sales $419,000 & $502,800

To find the value of Total Contribution margin:

Step 1: Unitary Variable Cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8

Step 2: Unitary Variable Cost= 502,800/6,000=  $83.8

Step 3: Unitary Contribution Margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4

Step 4: Total contribution margin when 5300 units are sold= 5,300×43.4= $230,020.

Hence, option A is correct.

Thank you :)Since the publication of the first novel of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga in 2005, millions of readersall over the world, the majority of whom are teenage girls and women, have fallen for the love story ofBella and Edward. Furthered by the release of the movie adaptations of the first three volumes in2009 and 2010, critics have started to wonder about the foundation of Twilight-mania, especiallyconcerning the basic theme of the story, namely the vampire myth, which, throughout its literaryhistory, is rather a reflection of "adolescent male fantasy" (Twitchell, Living 6). Still, the indisputablykitsny story of an inconspicuous teenager who falls in love with the vampire next door fascinatestoday's emancipated and independent females and thus can be regarded as an essential part of thesuccess. It would seem that the attraction derives from Meyer's unique interweaving of differentgeneric elements, a strategy which can be found in other late 20th- and 21st-century popularliterature. Thus, for instance, the "Harry Potter books have been received with manic enthusiasm"because they, too, "uniquely combine several kinds of appeal" (O'Keefe 176), such as the mixture ofpublic school story and fantasy. In the Twilight Saga, we find a similar amalgamation of variousdifferent literary genres - fantasy fiction for young adults, vampire story, gothic romance, andArthurian legend. It is a medley, a generic crossing that is - not least due to its focus on an activeyoung heroine - bound to entice a primarily female readership.Through an analysis of the figure of the vampire in literature as well as in folklore it will be observedto what extent Edward differs from the folkloric blood-sucking revenant and also from the master of allliterary vampires, Dracula. Furthermore, it will be investigated how his knightly behaviour towardsBella contributes to the impression of a romantic transformation of the gothic form. Special attentionwill also be paid to the figure of Bella, who, on the one hand seems to be presented as the femmefragile or damsel in distress concerning her physicality, but, on the other hand, represents a figure ofidentification for female readers as the independent, strong-willed hero of young adult fiction. Theanalysis seeks to prove that the combination of these various aspects of different genres andtraditions allows Meyer to create a new kind of vampire love story.
