During a meeting with a potential customer, you are asked to explain the difference between two different types of systems that your company is developing. Although you feel confident that you correctly explained the systems, after the meeting you realize that you inadvertently confused some of the characteristics, and partly described a third system that the customer had not even asked about. The systems are still prototypes and there is no publicly available information about them, so it is unlikely that the potential customer will realize that you confused the systems and are not up-to-date on your company's products. What should you do?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

First, update your knowledge of the company's product (especially at this development stage).  The purpose is for a demonstration of general knowledge and not for you to provide all the technical details to the potential customers.  So, try to stick to the claims about the product's performance and not the details.

Secondarily, request for the documentation of research and development activities.  This will provide some literature for the sales and marketing efforts to be effective.  Study the available data about the product development, customer requirements, and lifecycle.

Explanation:

In marketing newly developed products, the marketing personnel should bear in mind that effective communication of value to the potential customers is what is required at the initial stage, without too much details.  The effort should be to convince customers of the value of the products under development.

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours 31,500 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 220,500 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 6.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 40 Direct materials $ 685 Direct labor cost $ 1,370 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 40% then the selling price for a unit in Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

$2575

Explanation:

Total variable overhead estimated=(6*31,500)= $189,000

Hence total overhead estimated=Total variable overhead estimated+Total fixed overhead estimated = $189,000 + $220,500 = $409,500

Hence, predetermined overhead rate = $409,500 / 31,500 = $13 per machine hour  

Hence, total overhead applied=(13*400) = $520

Hence, total job cost=Direct material+Direct labor+Total overhead = $685 + $1,370 + $520 = $2575

Tirri Corporation has provided the following information: Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 7.50 Direct labor $ 3.85 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.55 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 24,400 Sales commissions $ 1.05 Variable administrative expense $ 0.60 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 8,800 If the selling price is $28.10 per unit, the contribution margin per unit sold is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$13.55

Explanation:

The contribution margin per unit is computed as;

= Selling price - (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commission + Variable administrative expense)

= $28.10 - ($7.50 + $3.85 + $1.55 + $1.05 + $0.60)

= $28.10 - $14.55

= $13.55

Therefore , the contribution margin per unit is $13.55

If Ralph rides the bus to work which is considered an inferior good/service. After Ralph applies for and accepts a new management job at twice his old salary he starts to make changes. Based on what you have learned about changes in income and consumer choices, what will most likely happen to Ralph’s use of public transportation? Group of answer choices Ralph would discontinue riding the bus and switch to riding his bike. Ralph would discontinue riding the bus and purchase a car. It will decrease since Ralph will ask his boss if he can telework to avoid the long commute. Ralph would continue riding the bus.

Answers

Answer:

Ralph would discontinue riding the bus and purchase a car.

Explanation:

As in the question it is mentioned that Ralph rides the bus when he go to work this represent an inferior good or a service but when he accept a new management job where his salary is doubled so he begins to make the changes

The change is that as the income rises, so the consumption would fall so he would prefer the more expensive option i.e to purchase a car

A- Ralph would discontinue riding the bus and switch to riding his bike after he gets a new management job and his salary is doubled as compared to the old payroll of Ralph.

Ralph is a rational consumer who will like to upgrade his lifestyle only when his salary reaches a level that he can spend extra part of his disposable income.

Ralph would continue riding his bike for numerous reasons one of them being that he would want to save the time of commute between his accommodation and his workplace,

Ralph will also be able to save time for himself when he reaches home as he can depart at his own comfortable times and this will lead to him eventually spending on own's happiness for Ralph.

Ralph will also end up saving money even after commuting through bike as he knows that his salary is doubled from the previous salary. This will hence not cost as much to him than he would proportionately save.

Hence, the correct option is A that Ralph will stop riding bus and use bike to commute.

2000 nominal GDP = $_________
2001 nominal GDP = $_________
2000 real GDP = $_________
2001 real GDP = $_________

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price × Present Year Quantity)

And,  

Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price × Present Year Quantity)

Now

(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is

= $[(7 × 600) + (70 × 20) + (300 × 5)]

= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500

= $7,100

(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]

= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)

= $4,500

(c) Real GDP, 2000 is

= $[(3 × 600) + (20 × 20) + (300 × 5)]

= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500

= $3,700

(d) Real GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]

= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500

= $4,500

Analyze the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring or detracting from team success. In the analysis, considering the advantages and disadvantages of the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). For example, what would be some of the effective and ineffective individual and leadership behaviors regarding team environmental, design, process, and effectiveness practices

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the team effectiveness model (Exhibit 7.2). You did not a link or picture of it.

However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following model.

We are going to use the Katzenbach and Smith Team Model.

This team effectiveness model has three important components at the base of the pyramid: collective work product, commitment, and personal growth.

From there, the next level indicates the specific goals of the team, the ground rules, the common approach, and the meaningful purpose of the team.

Going up the pyramid we have the Skills and Accountability.

In the Skills, the authors include interpersonal skills, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities. Regarding Accountability, the authors include mutual and personal accountability.

At the very top of the pyramid, we have the performance results.

This model helps to establish the foundation of the role individual team members and leaders play in ensuring team success.

For this to happen, leaders have to set the example of the n¿behavior they like to observe on team members. On the other hand, setting that example, team members are expected to follow through with the goals and expectations, following high standards of performance to accomplish goals.

a. What is the net present value (at the discount rate of 10%) of this project? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Round your answer to the nearest thousand.)

Present value of year 1 revenue = (Sales and production volume year 1 * Unit price year 1) / (1 + Discount rate)^1 = (250,000 * $820.00) / (1 + 10%)^1 = $186,363,636.36

Present value of year 2 revenue = (Sales and production volume year 2 * Unit price year 2) / (1 + Discount rate)^2 = (150,000 * $650.00) / (1 + 10%)^2= $80,578,512.40

Year 0 total cost = Development cost + Pilot testing + Debug + Ramp-up cost + Advance marketing = $20,000,000 + $5,000,000 + $3,200,000 + $3,000,000 + $5,400,000 = $36,600,000.00

Derek will deposit $9,359.00 per year for 18.00 years into an account that earns 4.00%, The first deposit is made next year. He has $18,418.00 in his account today. How much will be in the account 49.00 years from today

Answers

Answer:

FV= $904,322.05

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the future value of the 18 deposits 19 years from now. Also the value of the $18,418 19 years from now.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit= 9,359

n= 18

i= 0.04

FV= {9,359*[(1.04^18) - 1]} / 0.04

FV= $240,015.42

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 18,418*(1.04^19)

FV= $38,803.95

Total FV= 240,015.42 + 38,803.95= $278,819.37

Finally, the value of the account for the remaining 30 years:

FV= 278,819.37*(1.04^30)

FV= $904,322.05

Suppose a city block was going to be used for a parking lot in both New York City and a small town. The opportunity cost would be multiple choice 2 lower in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. lower in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more varied. greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable. greater in a small city because the alternative uses of the city block are more valuable.

Answers

Answer:

c. The opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.

Explanation:

Value of piece of land would be much higher in New York City in comparison to a small town.

This means that if a piece of land is used for parking lot in the New York City then the alternative use of such land would be more valuable in comparison to the utilization of similar piece of land in a small town.

In fact, Betserai has so much money that he decided to make kites out of billion dollar bills instead of putting the money into the bank to earn interest. None of Betserai's friends bothered to save their money, either. Rupert was Betserai's American pen pal and heard of Betserai's story and was extremely confused. He was taught that Zimbabwe was one of the poorer countries in the world, or at the least substantially poorer than the United States. Which statement best explains this phenomenon?
A. A country's wealth is based on the amount of money in circulation.
B. Zimbabwe was in the midst of an incredible economic boom, substantially increasing the wealth of all its citizens.

Stevens Company's inventory on March 1 and the costs charged to Work in Process—Department B during March are as follows:

Beginning work in process, 12,000 units, 60% completed $62,400
From Department A, 55,000 units started this period
Direct materials added 115,500
Direct labor incurred 384,916
Factory overhead incurred 138,000

During March, all direct materials were transferred from Department A, the units in process at March 1 were completed, and of the 55,000 units entering the department, all were completed except 6,000 units that were 70% completed. Inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.

Required:
Prepare a cost of production report for March.

Answers

Solution :

 Particulars                                                         Direct materials   Conversions

Cost per equivalent unit              

Total costs for month March in Department B          115500              522915

Total equivalent units                                                   55000              58000

Cost per equivalent unit                                                 2.10               9.0158

So, total conversion cost for March in the Department B

= 384915 + 138000

= $ 522915

Costs charged to production:

                                                 Direct Materials    Conversion      Total cost

                                                Costs                        costs            

Inventory in process, March 1                                                              62400

Cost incurred in March                                                                         638415

Total costs accounted by the department                                          700815

Therefore, the cost incurred in March = 115500 + 384915 + 138000

                                                                = $ 638415

The correct answers are:

a - Direct cost

b - direct cost

c - indirect cost

d - indirect cost

e - indirect cost

f - direct cost

Explanation:

On the one hand, the term of "direct cost" in the field of management and accounting refers to the type of cost that is directly associated with the production of a good in particular. So that basically means that a direct cost of a product is something that was extremely necessary to use in the production of it or in the other case it could not have been made.

On the other hand, the term of "indirect cost" refers to the whole opposite concept, meaning that the indirect cost will be those who can not be directly associated with a product or its production but instead it is implicated actually with a whole other activites in the company, such is the case of the electricity of the building.

Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $7.7 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $10.5 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.7 million to build, and the site requires $920,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project

Answers

Answer:

$33,120,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project

Using this formula

Proper Cash Flow Amount = (Expected Cost of Selling + Cost of Building Manufacturing Plant + Cost of Grading)

Let plug in the formula

Proper Cash Flow Amount = ($10,500,000 + $21,700,000 + $920,000)

Proper Cash Flow Amount = $33,120,000

Therefore the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project will be $33,120,000

a. $208,400
b. $405,500
c. $440,800
d. $201,500

Answers

Answer:

Direct material used= $183,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct Materials Purchased 171,000

Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000

Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000

To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000

Direct material used= $183,000

Prove:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000

cost of goods manufactured= $340,000

Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.

Answers

Answer: $‭207,00‬

Explanation:

Postretirement benefit for the year is:

= Service cost + Interest cost + Amortization of prior service cost - Return on plant assets - Amortization of net gain

Interest cost = Discount rate *  Actual Projected benefit obligation (APBO)

= 8% * 800,000

= $64,000

Return on plant assets = Return on plan assets (actual and expected)* Plan assets

= 10% * 80,000

= $8,000

Postretirement benefit = 150,000 + 64,000 + 2,000 - 8,000 - 1,000

= $‭207,000‬

Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following:

Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations.

Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)

Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the present value of Machine A & Machine B.

In the attached excel file, the following is used:

Discounting factor = 1 / (1 + r)^n ……………………………. (1)

Where:

r = interest rate = 8%, or 0.08

n = the year in focus

From part 1 of the attached excel file, we have:

Net present value of Machine A = -$71,788.85

From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:

Net present value of Machine B = -$75,092.36

Since the Net present value of Machine A of -$71,788.85 is less than the Net present value of Machine B of -$75,092.36, Esquire should purchase Machine A.

Blue Dog Manufacturing Corp. just reported a net income of $7,000,000, and its current stock price is $23.00 per share. Blue Dog is forecasting an increase of 25% for its net income next year, but it also expects it will have to issue 1,900,000 new shares of stock (raising its shares outstanding from 5,500,000 shares to 7,400,000 shares).

Required:
If Blue Dog’s forecast turns out to be correct and its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio does not change, what does management expect its stock price to be one year from now?

Answers

Answer:

$21.41

Explanation:

The computation of the stock price one year from now is as follows:

As we know that

Earnings per share = Earnings after tax ÷  Number of shares

= $7,000,000 ÷  5,500,000 shares

= $1.27 per share  

And,

P/E ratio = Current price per share ÷ Earnings per share

= $23 ÷ $1.27

= 18.11

Next Year:

Earnings after tax is

= $7,000,000 ×  1.25

= $8,750,000

Now  

Earnings per share = Earnings after tax ÷  Number of shares

= $8,750,000 ÷  7,400,000 shares

= $1.18 per share  

And,

P/E ratio = Current price per share ÷ Earnings per share

18.11 = Current price per share ÷ $1.18

So, the current price per share is

= $1.18 × 18.11

= $21.41
