Answer:
475
Explanation:
The computation of the target level that should be set is given below:
= demand per day × (lead time + review period)+ safety stock
where
safety stock is
= z value at service level × standard deviation × √(review period + lead time)
= 1.64 × 5 × √(7 + 2)
= 24.67
Now the target level should be
= 50 × (7 + 2) + 24.67
= 474.67
= 475

3. (20 points) You can buy or sell a 3.5% coupon $1,000 par U.S. Treasury Note that matures in 6 years. The first coupon payment pays 6 months from now, and the Note pays coupons semi-annually until maturity. It also pays par on maturity. The Yield to Maturity of the Note right now (treat this as your discount rate) is 3.000%. (a) What are the cash flows associated with this Note
Answer:
Cash flows associated with the Note are 12 semiannual coupon payments of $17.50 each and the face value of $1,000
Explanation:
The cash flows of the note comprise of the semiannual coupon payments for 6 years ,which is 12 semiannual coupon payments, since 2 semiannual coupon payments would be made in each of the 6 years until maturity of the U.S. Treasury Note as well as the face value of the note , which is $1000 payable to the investors in the note at maturity.
semiannual coupon payment=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value=$1,000
coupon rate=3.5%
semiannual coupon payment=$1000*3.5%*6/12
semiannual coupon payment=$17.50
face value=$1000
Pick the correct statement from below. Multiple Choice The risk-free rate represents the change in purchasing power. Any return greater than the inflation rate represents the risk premium. Historical real rates of return must be positive. Nominal rates exceed real rates by the amount of the risk-free rate. The real rate must be less than the nominal rate given a positive rate of inflation.
Answer:
The real rate must be less than the nominal rate given a positive rate of inflation.
Explanation:
As we know that
nominal rate = real rate + inflation
Nominal rate of return is a total of real rate of return and the inflation rate
In the case when the inflation rate is positive so the real rate should be lowered by the nominal rate of return
Therefore the last option is correct

Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is the efficient scale. True or False: This indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for shirts. True
Answer:
Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact that P = ATC, P>ATC, MR =MC, or MR>MC at the optimal quantity. Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is the efficient scale. True False
This indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for shirts. True False
Explanation:
In the long run, monopolistically-competitive entities produce at a level where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal. This makes it impossible for individual companies to sell their products at prices above the average cost. This situation means that monopolistically-competitive companies will always earn zero economic profit in the long run.
The demand for fax machines has been estimated to be Q = 1,000 – P + 40 L, where P is the price of the machines and L is the average cost of a 10-minute midday call from Los Angeles to New York. At a fax machine price of $400 and a phone call cost of $10, the cross-price elasticity of demand for fax machines with respect to the price of phone service is:
Answer:
Cross-price elasticity of demand for fax machine with respect to the price of phone service is 0.412
Explanation:
+ If the cost of a phone call is $10, according to the equation, fax machines demand would be: 1000 - 400 + 40 * 10 = 1,000
+ If the cost of the call is to be increase by 10% which is 10 x 1.1 = $11, fax machines demand would be : 1000 - 400 + 40 *1.1 = 1,040
+ Cross-price elasticity of demand for fax machine with respect to the price of the phone services is calculated as: % change in demand / % change in price; in which:
% change in price = (change in price) / [( original price + price after change)/2] = 1 / [(10+11)/2] = 9.52%
% change in quantity = (change in quantity) / [ (original quantity + quantity after change)/2] = 40 / [ (1000 +1040) /2 ] = 3.92%
So, cross price elasticity = 3.92% / 9.52% = 0.412.
considers the problem of building railway tracks under the assumption that pieces fit exactly with no slack. Now consider the real problem, in which pieces don’t fit exactly but allow for up to 10 degrees of rotation to either side of the "proper" alignment. Explain how to formulate the problem so it could be solved by simulated annealing
Answer:
By using simulated annealing we will sample the next state, evaluate and take the next state according to the probability e^Δv
Value function ( V ) = ( a * number of gaps ) + ( b * number of misconnected pieces ) + ( c * sum of sizes of gaps )
a,b,c = adjustable
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem by simulated annealing
First condition : assuming that pieces of the railways tracks fit exactly with no slack
Assume a state configuration of 32 pieces, use of discrete operations whose function is to remove pieces and reconnect it somewhere else without slack , we will also consider a continuous operations to help change angles to real values
Second condition : considering a real problem
This condition can be considered to be a closed loop because when one joint is moved all other joints are moved, here we will consider using a heuristic function
By using simulated annealing we will sample the next state, evaluate and take the next state according to the probability e^Δv
Value function ( V ) = ( a * number of gaps ) + ( b * number of misconnected pieces ) + ( c * sum of sizes of gaps )
a,b,c = adjustable
Suppose that people expect inflation to equal 3% but instead prices rise by 5%. Which of the following parties would be helped by this unexpectedly high inflation?
a. the government
b. a homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage
c. a union worker in the second year of a labor contract d. a college that has invested some of its endowment in government bonds
Answer: b. a homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage
Explanation:
Inflation erodes the value of money such that $1 today is stronger than $1 a year from now. When mortgage rates are calculated, they take into account the expected inflation rates so that the interest payments will not be smaller than they should be as inflation increases.
If inflation increases more than it was expected to have increased therefore, a person paying a fixed rate would benefit because they would be paying less in effect on account of inflation having made their payments weaker.
g The semistrong-form of the efficient market hypothesis implies that _____ _generate abnormal returns and ______ generate abnormal returns.\
Answer:
✓Technical analysis cannot
✓fundamental analysis cannot
Explanation:
The efficient-market hypothesis can be regarded as hypothesis in financial economics, this hypothesis stress it that asset prices will definitely reflect all available information. This implies that "beating the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis is quite impossible, since price in the market
supposed to react to new information only.
this theory comes in different versions such as;
✓weak
✓semi-strong
✓ and strong.
The semi-strong form has the belief since calculation of a stock's current price is been done using information that is public, utilization of technical or fundamental analysis by investors to gain higher returns in the market could be impossible.
It should be noted the semistrong-form of the efficient market hypothesis implies that Technical analysis cannot
generate abnormal returns and fundamental analysis cannot
generate abnormal returns.

Net Income 112,000
Calculate the rate of return on total assets for 2018.
a. 55.3%.
b. 52.5%.
c. 42.6%.
d. 27.3%.
Answer:
c. 42.6%
Explanation:
Average total assets = $410,000+$257,000/2
Average total assets = $667,000
Average total assets = $333,500
Net income = $112,000
Interest expenses = $30,000
Return on total assets = Net income + Interest expenses / Average total assets
Return on total assets = $112,000 + $30,000 / $333,500
Return on total assets = 0.42388060
Return on total assets = 42.39%
Lakeesha bought 300 shares of stock at $48.25 per share. Her broker charges 3% commission for round lots and 4% for odd lots. Calculate the total cost of the stock purchase.
Answer:
$14909.25
Explanation:
Given :
Recall : A round lot is any number of shares that can be evenly divided by 100 while an odd lot is any number of shares between 1 and 100.
Therefore, 300 shares will be classified as a round lot.
Commission paid on round lot = 3%
Price per share = $48.25
Share price for 300 : ($48.25 * 300) = $14,475
Commission fee = 3% * 14475 = $434.25
Total cost of stock purchase :
$(14475 + 434.25)
= $14909.25
A company issued $300,000, 10-year, 10 percent bonds at 105. What is the total amount of interest expense that will be recorded over the life of these bonds
Answer:
$285,000
Explanation:
Interest paid in cash = $300,000 *10%*10 years
Interest paid in cash = $300,000
Premium received = $300,000/100*5
Premium received = $15,000
Net interest expense in life of bonds = Interest paid in cash - Premium received
Net interest expense in life of bonds = $300,000 - $15,000
Net interest expense in life of bonds = $285,000
The General Fund lends cash at the beginning of the year to an Enterprise Fund, expecting to be repaid before the end of the year. What account should be debited in the General Fund
Answer:
due from enterprise fund
Explanation:
In the given scenario where General Fund lends cash at the beginning of the year to an Enterprise Fund expecting to be repaid before the end of the year, the General fund will need to record a debit to its books.
As the enterprise fund is making repayment to the account credits will reduce the debit figure until it is zeroed off.
This is like an account receivable for the enterprise fund.
So a debit will be passed to due from enterprise fund.
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows: Division A Division B Division C Sales $ 12,000,000 $ 14,000,000 $ 25,000,000 Average operating assets $ 3,000,000 $ 7,000,000 $ 5,000,000 Net operating income $ 600,000 $ 560,000 $ 800,000 Minimum required rate of return 14% 10% 16% Required: 1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division. 3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 15% rate of return. a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity
Answer:
1. See part 1 below for the calculations.
2. We have:
Division A's Residual Income (loss) = $180,000
Division B's Residual Income (loss) = ($140,000)
Division C's Residual Income (loss) = $0
3.a. Only Division B will probably accept the investment opportunity.
3.b. Divisions A and B will probably accept the investment opportunity.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the part 3-b of the requirement is omitted. The question is therefore completed before answering the question by providing the part 3-b as follows:
b. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept the opportunity?
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The following are given:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $12,000,000 $14,000,000 $25,000,000
Average operating assets $3,000,000 $7,000,000 $5,000,000
Net operating income $600,000 $560,000 $800,000
Min. req'd rate of return 14% 10% 16%
1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover.
The relevant formulae are as follows:
Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales
Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets
Return on Investment = Margin * Turnover
Therefore, we have:
Division A:
Margin = $600,000 / $12,000,000 = 0.05, or 5%
Turnover = $12,000,000 / $3,000,000 = 4 times
Return on Investment = 5% * 4 = 0.20, or 20%
Division B:
Margin = $560,000 / $14,000,000 = 0.04, or 4%
Turnover = $14,000,000 / $7,000,000 = 2 times
Return on Investment = 4% * 2 = 0.08, or 8%
Division C:
Margin = $800,000 / $25,000,000 = 0.032, or 3.20%
Turnover = $25,000,000 / $ 5,000,000 = 5 times
Return on Investment = 3.2% * 5 = 0.16, or 16%
2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division.
The following is the formula to use:
Residual Income (loss) = Net Operating Income - (Minimum Required Return * Average Operating Assets)
Therefore, we have:
Division A's Residual Income (loss) = $600,000 - (14% * $3,000,000) = $180,000
Division B's Residual Income (loss) = $560,000 - (10% * $7,000,000) = ($140,000)
Division C's Residual Income (loss) = $800,000 - (16% * $5,000,000) = $0
3-a. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 15% rate of return. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept the opportunity?
If a division's Return on Investment (ROI) is less than 15%, the decision criterion is to accept the investment opportunity. Otherwise, it will be rejected. Therefore, only Division B is will probably accept the investment opportunity, based on the results of Part 1 above. Division A and C will reject it.
3-b. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 15% rate of return. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept the opportunity?
The decision criterion is for a division to accept the investment opportunity if its minimum required rate of return is lower than 15%. Otherwise, it will be rejected.
Based on the information in the question, Divisions A and B will probably accept the investment opportunity. Division C will reject it.

Total production $325 $281.69 $173.91
How is total production determined?The total production for each industry is determined by dividing the external demand by external usage per dollar.
The external usages per dollar are the differences between what the primary producers consumed or used and the total production per dollar.
Data and Calculations:Food Building Clothing
Farmers' usage $0.1 $0.11 $0.10
Builders' usage $0.05 $0.05 $0.15
Tailors' usage $0.05 $0.13 $0.06
External usage $0.80 $0.71 $0.69
External demand $260 $200 $120
Total production $325 $281.69 $173.91 ($120/$0.69)
Thus, the total production for each industry is Food, $325 million, Building, $281.69 million, and Clothing, $173.91 million.

If an answer is zero, enter '0'. Round all answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
Year 1
Preferred Dividend = $25,000
Common Stock Dividend = $0
Year 2

Common Stock Dividend = $50,500
Year 3
Preferred Dividend = $25,000
Common Stock Dividend = $70,500
Explanation:
The dividends per share for preferred and common stock for each year.
Preferred Dividend
Is a fixed charge. When it is cumulative, all dividends in arrears are accumulated an paid in future when funds become sufficient before other dividends are paid.
Preferred Dividend = 25,000 x $75 x 2 % = $37,500
Common Stock Dividend
Holders of Common Stock receive their dividends after the Preferred Stock holders have received their dividends.
Calculations
Year 1
Preferred Dividend = $25,000 (owing $12,500)
Common Stock Dividend = $0
Year 2
Preferred Dividend = $25,000 + $12,500 (owing ) = $37,500
Common Stock Dividend = $88,000 - $37,500 = $50,500
Year 3
Preferred Dividend = $25,000
Common Stock Dividend = $95,500 - $25,000 = $70,500
Bloom Company management predicts that it will incur fixed costs of $251,000 and earn pretax income of $365,100 in the next period. Its expected contribution margin ratio is 61%. Required: 1. Compute the amount of total dollar sales. 2. Compute the amount of total variable costs
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The amount of the total dollar sales is
Pretax income = Sales value - Variable cost - Fixed cost
where,
Sales value - variable cost = Contribution margin
$365,100 = Contribution margin - $251,000
So,
Contribution margin = $616,100
Now
Contribution margin = Sales value × Contribution margin ratio
$616,100 = Sales value × 61%
So,
Sales value = $1,010,000
b. The total variable cost is
= Sales - fixed cost - pre tax income
= $1,010,000 - $251,000 - $365,100
= $393,900
Piechocki Corporation manufactures and sells a single product. The company uses units as the measure of activity in its budgets and performance reports. During May, the company budgeted for 7,500 units, but its actual level of activity was 7,450 units. The company has provided the following data concerning the formulas used in its budgeting and its actual results for May: Data used in budgeting: Fixed element per month Variable element per unit Revenue - $ 35.00 Direct labor $ 0 $ 5.60 Direct materials 0 13.00 Manufacturing overhead 32,000 2.50 Selling and administrative expenses 26,300 0.30 Total expenses $ 58,300 $ 21.40 Actual results for May: Revenue $ 261,850 Direct labor $ 41,800 Direct materials $ 99,895 Manufacturing overhead $ 47,500 Selling and administrative expenses $ 30,550 The direct labor in the planning budget for May would be closest to:
Answer:
$42,000
Explanation:
Direct Labor per Unit = $5.60
Total Planning Budget Units = 7,500 Units
Direct Labor for Planning Budget = Total Planning Budget Units * Direct Labor per Unit
Direct Labor for Planning Budget = 7,500 Units * $5.60
Direct Labor for Planning Budget = $42,000
So, the direct labor in the planning budget for May would be closest to $42,000.
Stop and Go has a 4 percent profit margin and a 43 percent dividend payout ratio. The total asset turnover is 1.65 and the debt-equity ratio is .70. What is the sustainable rate of growth
Answer:
6.83%
Explanation:
Given :
Profit margin = 4% = 0.04
Dividend payout ratio = 43% = 0.43
Asset turnover = 1.65
Debt to equity = .7
The retention rate is 1 - the payout ratio = 1 - 0.43 = 0.57
The sustainable growth rate is given by :
(ROE * Retention Rate) / (1 - (ROE * Retention Rate))
Return on Equity (ROE) :
Profit margin * Asset turnover * Equity multiplier
Equity ratio = debt to equity ratio + 1 = 0.7 + 1 = 1.7
= 0.04 * 1.65 * 1.7 = 0.1122
Sustainable growth rate :
(ROE * Retention Rate) / (1 - (ROE * Retention Rate))
(0.1122 * 0.57) / (1 - (0.1122 * 0.57))
0.063954 / 0.936046
= 0.0683235
= 6.83%

The following static budget is provided: Units 22,000 Units Sales $ 220,000 Less variable costs: Manufacturing costs $ 77,000 Selling and administrative costs $ 50,600 Contribution margin $ 92,400 Less fixed costs: Manufacturing costs $ 26,400 Selling and administrative costs $ 20,900 Net income $ 45,100 What will budgeted net income equal if 20,000 units are produced and sold
Answer:
$43,064
Explanation:
Sales $220,000 / 22,000 × 20,000
$200,000
Variable costs $77,000 / 22,000 × 20,000
($63,636)
Selling and admin $50,600 / 22,000 × 20,000
($46,000)
Manufacturing cost fixed
($26,400)
Selling and admin fixed
($20,900)
Net income
$43,064
Therefore, budgeted net income will equal $43,064 if 20,000 units are produced and sold.
