At the beginning of the year, American International had inventory worth $325,500 at cost. At the end of the year, the cost value of the inventory was $540,250. If annual cost of goods sold was $1,978,250 find the inventory turnover at cost for the year. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth) Group of answer choices
Answer:
Inventory turnover= 4.57
Explanation:
To calculate the inventory turnover, we need to use the following formula:
Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory= (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory= (325,500 + 540,250) / 2
Average inventory= 432,875
Inventory turnover= 1,978,250 / 432,875
Inventory turnover= 4.57

Explanation:
Select financial statement data for two recent years for Davenport Company are as follows:
20Y5 20Y4
Sales $1,776,000 $1,020,000
Fixed assets: Beginning of year 720,000 640,000
End of year 760,000 720,000
a. Determine the fixed asset turnover ratio for 20Y4 and 20Y5. Round to one decimal place.
20Y5 20Y4
Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
b. Does the change in the fixed asset turnover ratio from 20Y4 to 20Y5 indicate a favorable or an unfavorable change?
Answer:
20Y5 = 2.4
20Y4 = 1.5
It is favourable
Explanation:
Fixed asset turnover = revenue / average net fixed assets
Average fixed asset =( fixed asset at the beginning of year + fixed asset at the end of year) / 2
20y5 = (720,000 + 760,000) / 2 = 740,000
20y4 = (720,000 + 640000) / 2 = 680,000
Fixed asset turnover = $1,776,000 / 740,000 = 2.4
$1,020,000 / 680,000 = 1.5
the higher the ratio, the better for a firm. it means that less fixed asset is generating higher revenues

The cost of preferred stock is different from the cost of _____ because there is no maturity date on which principal must be paid.
Answer:
debt
Explanation:
One of the cheapest source used by organizations to finance their businesses after financing a debt they incurred is preferred stock.
Cost of preferred stock can be defined as the rate or price that a company pays their investors in return for the income generated through the issuance and sales of its stocks.
Generally, the cost of preferred stock is different from the cost of debt because there is no maturity date on which principal must be paid by the company to the investors.
Lucy has decided to save for a vacation in 18 months. She will save the money into a short-term investment account returning 4% annually. How much will she have to put away at the beginning of each month if the vacation cost is $15,000
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $810.20
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods (n)= 18 months
Interest rate (i)= 0.04/12= 0.0033
Future value (FV)= $15,000
To calculate the monthly deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (15,000*0.0033) / [(1.0033^18) - 1]
A= $810.20
The annual demand of a product is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is $6 per order, and the holding cost is $2.50 per unit per year. Calculate the optimal order quantity using the fixed-order quantity model. [Select the appropriate range in which your answer falls.]
Answer: 240
Explanation:
Since the annual demand of a product is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is $6 per order, and the holding cost is $2.50 per unit per year, then the optimal order quantity will be calculated as:
Optimal order quantity = √(2 × Annual demand × Ordering cost / Holding cost)
where,
Annual demand = 12000
Ordering cost = 6
Holding cost = 2.5
Optimal order quantity will be:
= √(2 × 12000 × 6/2.5)
== √(144000/2.5)
= ✓57600
= 240

In year , the authorities decide to bring the unemployment rate down to 3% and hold it there forever. b. Determine the rate of inflation in years , , , and . c. Do you believe the answer given in (b)
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Suppose that the Phillips curve is given by :
[tex]$\pi_t=\pi_t^e+0.1-2u_t$[/tex]
a). What is the natural rate of unemployment ?
Assuming [tex]$\pi_t^e=\theta \pi_{t-1}$[/tex] , and suppose that [tex]$\theta$[/tex] is initially equal to 0. Suppose that the rate of unemployment is initially equal to the natural rate. In year t, the authorities decide to bring the unemployment rate down to 3% and hold it there forever.
b). Determine the rate of inflation in years t, t+1, t+2 and t+5.
c). Do you believe the answer given in (b)? Why or why not?
Solution :
Given the equation :
[tex]$\pi_t=\pi_t^e+0.1-2u_t$[/tex]
a). At [tex]$u_N$[/tex], [tex]$\pi_t = \pi_t^e$[/tex] (Inflationary exponents are constant)
[tex]$0.1 = 2u_N$[/tex]
∴ [tex]$u_N=0.05$[/tex]
= 5%
b). [tex]$\pi t^e=\theta \pi_{t-1}$[/tex]
Let [tex]$\theta = 0$[/tex], then [tex]$\pi t^e = 0$[/tex], [tex]u-u_N=3\%[/tex]
Now for year t [tex]$\pi t^e=0, \pi_t= 0.1-2(0.03)=0.04=4\%$[/tex]
[tex]$(t+1) : \pi (t+1)^e=0, \pi (t+1) = \pi t = 4\%[/tex]
[tex]$= \pi (t+2)= \pi (t+5) = 4\%$[/tex]
c). No, I do not believe as
[tex]\pi t^e=0[/tex], but πt comes out to be 4%, [tex]$\pi (t+1)^e=0$[/tex] but [tex]\pi (t+1)= 4 \%[/tex].
If inflation is consistently positive, why to make the expectations of zero percentage.
Assume that total costs assigned to the setup activity cost pool in June are $60,000 and 50 setups were completed in June. Further, assume that during June machines were setup 12 times to make product G10. The total setup cost that would be assigned to product G10 would be:
Answer:
Allocated cost= $14,400
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate for setup:
Cost allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Cost allocation rate= 60,000 / 50
Cost allocation rate= $1,200 per setup
Now, we can allocate setup cost to G10:
Allocated cost= 1,200*12
Allocated cost= $14,400
Cal Lury owes $21,000 now. A lender will carry the debt for five more years at 6 percent interest. That is, in this particular case, the amount owed will go up by 6 percent per year for five years. The lender then will require that Cal pay off the loan over the next 13 years at 9 percent interest. What will his annual payment be
Answer:
$3,753.59
Explanation:
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $21,000 * (1 + 6%)^5
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $21,000 * 1.3382255776
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $28102.7371296
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $28,102.74
Let x be the annual payments:
x*[1 - (1 + 9%)^-13] / 9% = $28,102.74
x * [1-0.32617864688] / 0.09 = $28,102.74
x * 7.486904 = $28,102.74
x = $28,102.74 / 7.486904
x = 3753.58626
x = $3,753.59

r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
$3.6 / (0.17 - 0.05)
$3.60 / 0.12 = $30
On June 30, 2024, L. N. Bean issued $30 million of its 8% bonds for $28 million. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, how much bond interest expense should the company report for the 6 months ended December 31, 2024
Answer:
$1,400,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much bond interest expense should the company report for the 6 months ended December 31, 2024
December 31, 2024 Bond interest expense = Carrying value * Effective interest rate/2
Let plug in the formula
December 31, 2024 Bond interest expense= $28,000,000 * 10% / 2
December 31, 2024 Bond interest expense= $1,400,000
Therefore the amount of bond interest expense should the company should report for the 6 months ended December 31, 2024 is $1,400,000
Assume a sales price per unit of $10, variable cost per unit $6, and total fixed costs of $184800. What is the breakeven point in units
Answer:
The correct solution is "$462000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Selling price per unit,
= $10
Variable cost per unit,
= $6
Now,
The contribution margin ratio will be:
= [tex]\frac{Selling \ price \ per \ unit-Variable \ cost \ oer \ unit}{Selling \ price \ per \ unit}[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{10-6}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]0.4[/tex]
hence,
The break-even point will be:
= [tex]\frac{Fixed \ costs}{Contribution \ mar gin \ ratio}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{184800}{0.4}[/tex]
= [tex]462000[/tex] ($)
Ramble On Co. wishes to maintain a growth rate of 13.6 percent per year, a debt-equity ratio of 1.8, and a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent. The ratio of total assets to sales is constant at .98. What profit margin must the firm achieve
Answer: 5.99%
Explanation:
Based on the question,
Dividend payout ratio = 30%
Therefore, the retention ratio will be:
= 1 - 30%
= 70%
Growth rate = 13.6%
We'll the use the sustainable growth rate formula which will be:
0.136 = (ROE x 0.7)/ (1-(ROE x 0.7))
0.136(1 - (0.7ROE)) = 0.7ROE
ROE = 0.136/0.7952
ROE = 0.171026
Then, the Profit margin will be:
ROE = Profit Margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x (1 + 1.8)
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x 2.8
PM = 0.171026 x 0.98/2.8
PM = 0.0598591
Profit margin = 5.99%

Molly, a company mediator, had agreed to help Martin and Samir. The two men had been in constant disagreement ever since they became co-managers of the marketing department two months ago, and this disagreement was starting to impact all parts of the department. During a mediation session, Molly asked the men to explain their conflict over a recent business proposal. "Tell me exactly which part of the proposal is causing the issues," she instructed.
"Well," Samir started cautiously, "I grew up in Arizona, and I know that the Hispanic American community there sometimes does things differently from the way we do things here in New York. Martin wants to try to close the deal quickly, but I don't think that will work. We need to focus on building relationships. I'm afraid Martin's way of operating might cause some conflict with the client."
"But Samir's approach will take too long! Do you want to be successful or not?" Martin said.
By taking into account differences in the Hispanic American community's cultural orientation, Samir is considering their __________ when determining the proposal approach.
a) intercultural inventory
b) subculture
c) preferred conflict style
d) cross-culture
By taking into account differences in the Hispanic American community's cultural orientation, Samir is considering their subculture when determining the proposal approach. Thus, option B is the correct option.
In this context, Samir is recognizing that the Hispanic American community in Arizona has a distinct cultural background that influences their behaviors and preferences. This cultural background can be considered a subculture, which is a smaller cultural group within a larger culture, sharing certain norms, values, and practices that differentiate them from the dominant culture.
Samir is taking into account this subculture's perspective when considering the approach to the proposal, recognizing that their way of doing things might differ from the New York business norms.

Answer:
price and quantity variances.
Explanation:
In Financial accounting, costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
Manufacturing costs can be defined as the overall costs associated with the acquisition of resources such as materials and the cost of converting these raw materials into finished goods. Manufacturing costs include direct labor costs, direct materials cost and manufacturing overhead costs.
Total direct materials variance gives the difference between the budgeted cost and actual cost of a unit of goods produced.
Generally, a total materials variance is analyzed in terms of price and quantity variances used by a manufacturer in the manufacturing of a particular product.

Suppose that the production function is y= 9k^0.5 N^0.5. With this production function, the marginal product of labor is MPN= 4.5K^0.5 N^-0.5. The capital stock is K= 25. The labor supply curve is NS= 100[(1-t)w]^2, where w is the real wage rate, t is the tax rate on labor income, and hence (1-t)w is the after-tax real wage rate.
Required:
a. Assume that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals zero. Find the equation of the labor demand curve. Calculate the equilibrium levels of the real wage and employ- ment, the level of full-employment output, and the total after-tax wage income of workers.
b. Repeat part (a) under the assumption that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals 0.6.
Answer:
A) i) w/P = MPN , ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) w = 1.5 , N = 225,
iii) y = 675 ,
iv) 337.5
B) i) ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2
ii) w = 2.372 , N = 90
iii) y = 426.91
iv) 85.839
Explanation:
Given data :
Production function ( y ) = 9k^0.5 N^0.5
MPN = 4.5k^0.5N^-0.5
capital stock ( K ) = 25
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
assume P = 1
a) Determine
i) equation of labor demand curve = w/P = MPN
where; w = 22.5 N^-0.5 , N=506.25/(w^2)
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) equilibrium levels of real wage and employment
506.25/(w^2) = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ( equilibrium condition )
w ( equilibrium level of real wage ) = 1.5
equilibrium level of employment = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ; where t = 0 , w = 1.5
= 100 ( 1 * 1.5 )^2
N = 225
iii) level of full-employment y = 9k^0.5 N^0.5 ; where N = 225 , k = 25
= 9(25)^0.5 * (225)^0.5
y = 675
iv) Total after-tax wage income of workers
= w*N = ( 225 * 1.5 ) = 337.5
B) assuming t = 0.6
i) equation of labor demand curve
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2 = 16 w^2
ii) equilibrium levels ; 16w^2 = 506.25/(w^2).
w( equilibrium real wage ) = 2.372
Equilibrium employment ( N )= 16 * ( 2.372 )^2 =90
iii) level of full employment y = 9k^0.5 * 90^0.5

B. A stock has a required return of 16%; the risk-free rate is 4.5%; and the market risk premium is 5%.
What is the stock's beta? Round your answer to two decimal places.
If the market risk premium increased to 7%, what would happen to the stock's required rate of return? Assume that the risk-free rate and the beta remain unchanged. :
I. If the stock's beta is greater than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium.
II. If the stock's beta is less than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium.
III. If the stock's beta is greater than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be less than the change in the market risk premium.
IV. If the stock's beta is equal to 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium.
V. If the stock's beta is equal to 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be less than the change in the market risk premium.

Answer:
Following are the response to the given question:
Explanation:
For question 1:
The weighted average of each return is the expected return.
[tex]Expected\ return = 0.1 \times -0.22 + 0.2 \times -0.12 + 0.3 \times 0.17 + 0.2 \times 0.33 + 0.2 \times 0.56 \\\\[/tex]
[tex]= 0.1830 \\\\= 18.30\%[/tex]
For question 2:
Standard deviation is a measured source of the square deviations from the mean via probability.
[tex]Std \ dev = [0.1 \times (0.183-(-0.22))^2 + 0.2 \times (0.183-(-0.12))^2 + 0.3\times(0.183-0.17)^2 + 0.2\times (0.183-0.33)^2 + 0.2\times (0.183-0.56)^2]^{(\frac{1}{2})}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= 0.2596 \\\\= 25.96\%[/tex]
For question 3:
For point a:
[tex]\text{Coefficient of variation} = \frac{std \ dev}{expected\ return} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.2596}{0.183} \\\\= 1.42[/tex]
For point b:
As per the CAPM: [tex]\text{Required return = risk free rate + beta}\times \text{market risk premium}[/tex]
[tex]\to 16\% = 4.5\% + beta\times 5\%\\\\\to beta = 2.3[/tex]
In Option I:
When the beta of the stock exceeds 1.0, the change in the required rate of return must be higher than the increase in the premium of market risk. Beta is the degree to which stock return changes as market returns change.
[tex]\text{Required return = risk free rate + beta}\times \text{market risk premium}[/tex]
[tex]Required \ return = 4.5\% + 2.3\times 7\%\\\\Required \ return = 20.6\%\\\\[/tex]
Miracle Clean's variable costs are $3.00 per bottle and Fixed Expenses are $350,000 per year. The company currently sells 150,000 bottles for $6.50 which results in profit of $175,000. The company is considering raising the selling price to $7.00 per bottle which is expected to decrease sales by 20%. If the price is raised, the number of units that must be sold to keep the profits unchanged is
Answer:
131,250= number of units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We need to calculate the number of units to be sold to maintain a profit of $175,000.
Unitary variable cost= $3
Fixed expenses= $350,000
Selling price= $7
Net income= total contribution margin - fixed cost
175,000= number of units*(7 - 3) - 350,000
525,000 = number of units*4
525,000 / 4= number of units
131,250= number of units
You are now 20 years of age and decide to save $100 at the end of each month until you are 65. If the interest rate is 9.2%, how much money will you have when you are 65?
Answer:
FV= $804,326.91
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit (A)= $100
Interest rate (i)= 0.092/12= 0.0077
Number of periods= 45*12= 540 months
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {100*[(1.0077^540) - 1]} / 0.0077
FV= $804,326.91
