Mohave Corp. is considering outsourcing production of the umbrella tote bag included with some of its products. The company has received a bid from a supplier in Vietnam to produce 8,000 units per year for $7.50 each. Mohave has the following information about the cost of producing tote bags:
Direct materials $3
Direct labor 2
Variable manufacturing overhead 1
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2
Total cost per unit $8
Mohave has determined that all variable costs could be eliminated by outsourcing the tote bags, while 60 percent of the fixed overhead cost is unavoidable. At this time, Mohave has no specific use in mind for the space currently dedicated to producing the tote bags.
Required:
1. Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag.
2. Based strictly on the incremental analysis, should Mohave buy the tote bags or continue to make them?
3. Suppose that the space Mohave currently uses to make the bags could be utilized by a new product line that would generate $10,000 in annual profits. Recompute the difference in cost between making and buying the umbrella tote bag. Does this change your recommendation to Mohave? If so, how?
4. Assume Mohave has a sustainability goal to increase the percentage of spending from local suppliers. If Mohave’s managers are responsible for improving this metric, how might it impact their sourcing decisions?
5. What other strategic or sustainability-related goals should Mohave consider before making a final decision?
Answer:
Mohave Corp.

You are the project manager assigned to build and decorate a model home. What might be an example of a lead you encounter when scheduling work activities
Answer:
The project manager will face difficulties in lead activities if procurement department is not efficient and cooperative.
Explanation:
The procurement of material needs to be quick in case of construction. There is sometimes quick requirement for materials to continue construction. In this case the activities should be scheduled so that there is not delay in the construction activities due to lead time of raw material.
A project manager leads the team and the project to achieve the target. Lead can be of three days as the wall was constructed three days earlier.
What is lead?Project management, is defined as the activity or the task that started before the previous activity is finished and is related to the understanding of the complete project so that the activities can be worked in a controlled manner.
The project manager must have an idea about how to schedule the activity or the task so the former and the later activities can be worked in balance.
In working on a building and home model the coordination between the construction of the roof and walls are necessary as they are interlinked.
Therefore, there will be a lead if the walls are constructed faster.

Bach Co. had an inventory balance of $15,250 on January 1, purchased $34,000 during the accounting period, and the cost of goods sold was $28,000. What is the ending balance in the inventory account (the cost of ending inventory)
Answer:
$21,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the ending balance in the inventory account
Using this formula
Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchase during the year - Ending balance of inventory
Let plug in the formula
$28,000 = $15,250 + $34,000 - Ending balance of inventory
Ending balance of inventory = $49,250 - $28,000
Ending balance of inventory = $21,250
Therefore the ending balance in the inventory account is $21,250

Capital gain = Distribution received - Basis in stock - Ordinary income earned
= 75,000 - 24,000 - 50,000
= $1,000
Long Term Capital gain is therefore $1,000.

Fowler, Inc., just paid a dividend of $2.55 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.9 percent per year, indefinitely. If investors require a return of 10.4 percent on this stock, what is the current price? What will the price be in three years? In 15 years?
Answer:
Use the Gordon Growth formula for this.
The price of a stock in the current year is:
= (Dividends in current year * (1 + growth rate) ) / (Required return - growth rate)
Current price
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%) ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $40.76
In 3 years:
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%)⁴ ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $45.72
In 15 years:
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%)¹⁶ ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $72.36

f pressure is put on the government to maintain a balanced budget during a recession. In this scenario, government would need to _____ taxes, which would cause aggregate demand to ____. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Increase
fall
Explanation:
A recession occurs when the gross domestic product of a country for two consecutive quarters is negative.
Annually balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure.
If in a recession, a government is under pressure to maintain a balanced budget, the government would need to increase taxes. this is because income would be less than government expenditure as a result of the recession. In order to maintain a balanced budget, the government can either increases taxes are reduce expenditure.
When taxes are increased, disposable income falls and this causes aggregate demand to fall
Risk is best thought of as the potential for variability in the investment’s outcomes. This means that if an investment has the potential to provide only one possible outcome or return, then it is , while if there is more than one possible return or result, then the asset should be considered . This is why securities sold by the U.S. Treasury have historically been considered to be the securities in the world; because except in the event of the failure of the U.S. government, any investor holding a Treasury security would receive the security’s face value upon its maturity.
Answer:
safe or risk free, risky, safest
Explanation:
In investment market, risk is defined as the potential for the variability in the outcomes of the investment. Thus it is meant that outcome or return of making an investment is safe and risk free if there is only one return or outcome. But if there are more than one possible return from the investment, then that investment is considered as risky. For this reason the securities sold by the United States' Treasury is considered to be the safest securities in the world as the investor will receive the face value of the security upon its maturity from the government.

Which of the following does not dilute the value of collecting opinions from a number of people (e.g., regarding a performance evaluation or hiring decision)?
A. They have discussed the matter with each other.
B. They evaluated the same materials.
C. They have discussed the matter with the same people.
D. They have similar backgrounds.
Answer:
The correct answer is A:
They have discussed the matter with each other.
Explanation:
The objective of collecting opinions from a number of people with regard to a particular subject such as performance evaluation or a hiring decision is to ensure that via the consideration of heterogeneous perspectives, the best decision is arrived at.
The very nature of collecting opinions from people who are most likely to view the subject from different unique perspectives requires that the subject be discussed. Hence, Option A cannot be a diluting factor.

Explanation:
Use PMT for the interest amount computation
[tex]PMT(12\%, 55, 232000, 0 , 0) = \$27,894.77[/tex]
At first, the bulk of an initial premium is paid at the rate of interest, and that only the remainder of the small part is used for amortization. The very first three years schedule is shown below:
[tex]Loan\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Annual\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Interest\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Principal\\\\[/tex]
[tex]1\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$232,000.00\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,894.77\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,840.00\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$54.77\\\\2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$231,945.23\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,894.77\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,833.43\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$61.34\\\\3\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$231,883.89 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,894.77\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$27,826.07\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \$68.70\\\\[/tex]
By the 49th payment, upwards of half of the initial amount borrowed would be the total principal paid. Using the formula CUMPRINC in excel, the entire principal payment is calculated twice.
Total Interest Expense [tex]= 27,894.77 \times 55 - 232,000 = \$1,302,212.27[/tex]

RESPETAR LA CAPACIDAD DE CARGA DE UN DESTINO TURISTICO, LE ALARGA LA VIDA UTIL.
Answer:
La afirmación es correcta.
Explanation:
La capacidad de carga es el número de individuos de una especie determinada que puede ser sostenido por un medio ambiente. En general, la capacidad de carga se logra en algún momento porque las especies tienden inherentemente a reproducirse. Por ejemplo, si hay comida para 100 peces en un estanque, la capacidad de carga del estanque es para 100 peces. En la actualidad, no se sabe con certeza cuántas personas podrá sostener la Tierra, pero se ha argumentado que la población humana en la Tierra ya ha superado el límite de la capacidad de carga del planeta.
Cuando una población (individuos de una especie en un área) excede su capacidad de carga a medida que crece, a menudo colapsa, ya que una población sobredimensionada destruye sus propias condiciones de vida.
Lucy has been the sole shareholder of a calendar year S corporation since 1980. At the end of 2011, Lucy's stock basis is $23,500, and she receives a distribution of $25,000. Corporate level accounts are computed as follows.
AAA 7,000
PTI 11,000
Accumulated E&P 600
How much capital gain, if any, will Lucy have?
a. $600
b. $7,000
c. $6,400
d. $900
e. None of the above
Answer: d. $900
Explanation:
Capital gain = Total distribution - AAA as this isn't taxed - Accumulated E&P - PTI which isn't taxed either - Stock basis
Stock basis = Stock basis - AAA - PTI
= 23,500 - 7,000 - 11,000
= $5,500
Capital Gain = 25,000 - 7,000 - 600 - 11,000 - 5,500
= $900

Characteristics Debt Equity
Dividends are fixed
Usually has no specified maturity date
Consider the case of Tamin Enterprises:
At the present time, Tamin Enterprises does not have any preferred stock outstanding but is looking to include preferred stock in its capital structure in the future. Tamin has found some institutional investors that are willing to purchase its preferred stock issue provided that it pays a perpetual dividend of $11 per share. If the investors pay $97.95 per share for their investment, then Tamin's cost of preferred stock (rounded to four decimal places) will be:_____.
Answer:
Dividends are fixed ⇒ Debt
Preferred dividends are fixed much like the interest payments made on debt which makes this a characteristic of debt.

Answer:
The federal government reserves the power to print money. By printing money to pay its debts, the government decreases the value of money and causes the inflation tax.Explanation:
As per the Constitution, the Federal government reserves the sole right to print currency. This ensures that all the states have a stable medium of exchange thereby allowing goods and services to flow across states undisturbed.
When the government prints money to enable it pay off its debt, the value of the currency decreases because the supply of money has increased relative to its demand. As a result, the currency will only be able to buy less than it was able to buy before thereby creating a sort of inflation tax because people would be paying an extra amount in order to purchase goods and services
Sheffield Corp. has a materials price standard of $2.00 per pound. 4900 pounds of materials were purchased at $2.20 a pound. The actual quantity of materials used was 4900 pounds, although the standard quantity allowed for the output was 4000 pounds. Sheffield Corp.'s materials quantity variance is:_____.
a. $1980 U.
b. $1800 F.
c. $1800 U.
d. $1980 F.

Fixing in the values, we'll have;
Direct materials quantity variance
= (4,000 pounds - 4,900 pounds) × $2.20 per pound
= -900 pounds × $2.20 per pound
= -$1,980
= $1,980 U

This is commonly refered to as a form of research review and final evaluation of one's competitors. It is beneficial due to the fact that the information you obtained/known can help you to be based on your competitor weaknesses
When starting this analysis, always you set up expectations that can be achieved so that one's team has enough time to fully research, analyze, and share their findings.
Competitive analysis, as a part of your business planning, is a means by which an individual believes that their business will survive and thrive competitively in the market because the individual has full attachment to current competitors and one's potential competition too.

Casey Motors recently reported net income of $55 million. The firm's tax rate was 40.0% and interest expense was $19 million. The company's after-tax cost of capital is 9.0% and the firm's total investor supplied operating capital employed equals $385 million. What is the company's EVA
Answer:
$31.76 million
Explanation:
Economic Value Added is the residual wealth left for shareholders after having accounted for the financing needs of the company as shown by the formula below:
EVA=NOPAT-(WACC*invested capital)
NOPAT is the net operating profit after tax =operating profit(EBIT)*(1-tax rate)
Net income=Earnings before tax*(1-tax rate)
net income= $55 million
EBT=unknown
tax rate=40.0%
$55=EBT*(1-40.0%)
$55=EBT*0.60
EBT=$55/0.60
EBT=$91.67
EBIT=EBT+interest
EBIT=$91.67+$19
EBIT=$110.67
NOPAT=$110.67*(1-40%)
NOPAT=$66.41
WACC=9.0%
perating capital employed=$385
EVA=$66.41-(9.0%*$385)
EVA=$31.76 million

rt, a $0.73 per share cash dividend was declared by the board of directors for it common stock. On 12/31, the date of declaration, there were 98,000 shares authorized, 59,000 shares issued, and 8,000 Treasury shares. On the date of the dividend declaration, what amount will Walmart record into their dividend account
Answer:
$36,792
Explanation:
Missing word "At Walmart, the board of directors declared a $0.73"
Outstanding stockholder = Issued stockholder - Treasury stock
Outstanding stockholder = 59,000 shares - 8,600 shares
Outstanding stockholder = 50,400 shares
Amount of Dividend = Declared per share cash dividend * Outstanding stockholder
Amount of Dividend = 50,400 shares * $0.73
Amount of Dividend = $36,792
So therefore, on the date of the dividend declaration, $36,792 shall be recorded by Walmart into their dividend account.
