Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1. Reorder point is
= Daily demand × lead ime
= 20 × 3 days
= 60 pounds
2. The length of the order cycle is
= Order quantity ÷ demand rate
= 80 ÷ 20 pounds
= 4 days
3. The average inventory level is
= Order quantity ÷ 2
= 80 ÷ 2
= 40 pounds
4. The total daily cost is
the cost of the pepperoni = daily demand × cost per pound
= 20 × 3 pound
= 60
Daily ordering cost is
= daily demand ÷ ordering quantity × ordering cost
= 20 ÷ 80 × $10
= $2.50
And, the daily holding cost is
= ordering cost ÷ 2 × holding cost
= 80 ÷ 2 × 0.04
= $1.60
Now the total daily cost is
= $60 + $2.50 + $1.60
= $64.10
5. The economic order quantity is
= (√2 × annual demand × ordering cost ÷ carrying cost)
= √2 × 20 × 10 ÷ 0.04
= √10,000
= 100
In September 2008, the stock market fell sharply and continued to perform poorly due to the financial crisis. How did this change impact GDP in the economy?
Answer:
Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.
Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.
If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.
Target Corporation reported the following information in a recent Form 10-K. Consolidated Statement of Operations ($ millions) FY 2016 Cost of sales $67,596 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position ($ millions) FY 2016 FY 2015 Inventory $10,321 $8,282
What is the (a) inventory turnover ratio, and (b) average days in inventory, for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. inventory turnover ratio
This will be calculated as:
= Sales cost / Average inventory
= $67,596 / $9301.50
= 7.2672
= 7.27
(b) average days in inventory.
This will be calculated as:
= 365 days / Inventory turnover ratio
= 365 / 7.27
= 50.20
= 50 days
Note:
Average inventory = ($10,321 + $8,282) / 2 = $9301.50
Suppose payments were made at the end of each month into an ordinary annuity earning interest at the rate of 4.5%/year compounded monthly. If the future value of the annuity after 11 years is $55,000, what was the size of each payment?
Answer:
The size of each payment was $322.78.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the amount after 11 years = $55,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.045 / 12 = 0.00375
n = number of months = 11 years * 12 = 132
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:
$55,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00375)^132 - 1) / 0.00375)
$55,000 = M * 170.394706737074
M = $55,000 / 170.394706737074
M = $322.779979808101
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
M = $322.78
Therefore, the size of each payment was $322.78.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts as employed people who work part-time, but would prefer to work full-time. Suppose the people who had part-time jobs, but wanted full-time jobs, were counted as unemployed. Explain how the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate would change.
Answer:
The labor participation rate would not change because it counts the labor force as a percentage of the total adult population, and the labor force includes both the number of people employed and the number of people unemployed, so, even if those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, they would still be part of the Labor Force.
The labor participation rate formula is:
Labor Participation Rate = (Labor Force / Total Adult Population) x 100
The unemployment rate would indeed change, because it counts the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force. If those working part-time were counted as unemployed by the BLS, the number of people unemployed would obviously spike.
The formula is:
Unemployment Rate = (Number of Unemployed / Labor Force) x 100

A perpetual bond with a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 7.75% has a current market price of $900. What is its yield to maturity
a. 9.32%
b. 8.33%
c. 7.92%
d. 9.45%
e. 8.61%
Answer: e. 8.61%
Explanation:
This is a perpetual bond so the price is calculable by;
Price = Coupon / Yield to Maturity
Coupon = 7.75% * 1,000
= $77.50
900 = 77.50/ YTM
900 * YTM = 77.50
YTM = 77.50/900
= 8.61%
If Congress votes to increase spending and taxes by the same amount, what is the effect on employment and interest rates
Answer:
a. Increase / Increase
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that there is an increase in taxes and government spending so it represents the positive stimuls as it occurs because the government incurrent all the revenue for the public welfare due to which there is a rise in the government expenditure that boost the aggregate demand also the GDP value would be rise because of the multiplier effect
Therefore the employment level and the rate of interest would also increased
Answer:
The correct answer was increase / no change
Explanation:
Just took the test
In a period when costs are declining and inventory quantities are stable, the lowest cost of goods sold would be reported by using the inventory method of
Answer:
LIFO
Explanation:
To record the lowest cost of goods sold, the ending inventory amount must be high. This would only be high in LIFO whish would not be affected by declining costs.
By using LIFO (Last in First Out) inventory valuation will be based on the value of the earliest goods purchased instead of latest goods purchased as in FIFO (First In First Out)

Biogenetics, Inc. plans to retain and reinvest all of their earnings for the next 30 years. Beginning in year 31, the firm will begin to pay a $30 per share dividend. The dividend will not subsequently change. Given a required return of 18%, what should the stock sell for today?
Answer:
the stock sell for today is $1.16
Explanation:
The calculation of the stock sell for today is as follows;
Value after year 31 is
= (D31 ÷ Required return)
= $30 ÷ 0.18
= $166.666667
Now the current value is
= Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
= $30 ÷ 1.18^31 + $166.666667 ÷ 1.18^31
= $1.16
Hence, the stock sell for today is $1.16
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
A firm has a tax burden of 0.6, a leverage ratio of 1.2, an interest burden of 0.7, and a return-on-sales ratio of 14%. The firm generates $2.64 in sales per dollar of assets. What is the firm's ROE
Answer:
18.63%
Explanation:
Calculation for the firm's ROE
Using this formula for
ROE=(Tax burden)(Leverage ratio)(Interest burden)(Return-on-sales ratio)(Sales per dollar of assets)
Let plug in the formula
ROE = (.6)(1.2)(.7)(.14)(2.64)
ROE=18.63%
Therefore the firm's ROE is 18.63%
When a bond sells at a premium:___________
a) The contract rate is above the market rate.
b) The contract rate is equal to the market rate.
c) The contract rate is below the market rate.
d) It means that the bond is a zero coupon bond.
Answer:
a) The contract rate is above the market rate.
Explanation:
In the case when the bond is sold at the premium that means the contract rate or the coupon rate is higher than the market rate
While on the other hand, when the bond is sold at the discount that means the contract rate or the coupon rate is lower than the market rate
Therefore as per the given situation, the correct option is a.
hence, all the other options are wrong
Andrews Corp. ended the year carrying $46,369,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Andrews Corp.?
a. $264,018,840
b. $191,318,000
c. $67,711,000
d. $104,076,000
Answer: $46,369,000
Explanation:
At the end of the year, all the costs associated with inventory and operations have been dealt with in the income statement.
This means that if the entire inventory were sold at current prices which is $46,369,000, the addition to revenue will be what the goods were sold for which is the current price.
Options do not have this answer but that is it.
