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.

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.
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.
Higher the value of alternative uses, higher would be the opportunity cost. So, the opportunity cost would be greater in New York City because the alternative uses of the block are more valuable.
Stephenson Company's computer system recently crashed, erasing much of the company's financial data. The following accounting information was discovered soon afterwards on the CFO's back-up computer data.

The CFO of Stephenson Company has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and report to him by week's end.
What should be the amount of direct materials used?
a. $208,400
b. $405,500
c. $440,800
d. $201,500
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
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:
Machine A could be purchased for $60,500. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,100 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,050.
Machine B could be purchased for $55,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,400 in year three, $10,500 in year six, and $12,600 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
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.
Answer:
Esquire should purchase Machine A.
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Required:
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.

A country has constant opportunity cost of production. If they devote all of their resources to the production of blankets they can produce a total of 284 per week. If they devote all of their resources to the production of t-shirts they can produce a total of 612 shirts per week. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket
Answer:
2.15 shirts
Explanation:
Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
By producing one more blanket, the country would be forgoing the opportunity to produce one more shirt.
opportunity cost of producing 1 blanket = 612 shirts / 284 = 2.15 shirts
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:
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

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?
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

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
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
Perot Corporation is developing a new CPU chip based on a new type of technology. Its new chip, the Patay2 chip, will take two years to develop. However, because other chip manufacturers will be able to copy the technology, it will have a market life of two years after it is introduced. Perot expects to be able to price the chip higher in the first year, and it anticipates a significant production cost reduction after the first year as well. The relevant information for developing and selling the Patay2 is given as follows: PATAY2 CHIP PRODUCT ESTIMATES Development cost $ 20,000,000 Pilot testing $ 5,000,000 Debug $ 3,200,000 Ramp-up cost $ 3,000,000 Advance marketing $ 5,400,000 Marketing and support cost $ 1,000,000 per year Unit production cost year 1 $ 655.00 Unit production cost year 2 $ 545.00 Unit price year 1 $ 820.00 Unit price year 2 $ 650.00 Sales and production volume year 1 250,000 Sales and production volume year 2 150,000 Interest rate 10 %

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
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
The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2001 as the base year.
Year 2000 2001
Price Quantity Price Quantity
Ice Cream $7.00 600 $3.00 400
Blue Jeans $70.00 20 $20.00 90
Laptops $300.00 5 $300.00 5
2000 nominal GDP = $_________
2001 nominal GDP = $_________
2000 real GDP = $_________
2001 real GDP = $_________
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

The following data pertains to Lam Co.'s manufacturing operations: Inventories 4/1 4/30 Direct Materials $ 18,000 $ 15,000 Work in Process 9,000 6,000 Finished Goods 27,000 36,000 Additional information for the month of April: Direct materials purchased $ 32,000 Direct labor 30,000 Direct labor rate per hour 10.00 Factor overhead incurred 40,000 Overhead is applied at $12 per direct labor hour. For the month of April, conversion cost incurred was:
Answer: $65000
Explanation:
For the month of April, the conversion cost that was incurred would be calculated as:
Beginning inventory of Direct Materials = $18000
Add: Purchase = $32000
Total cost of Direct Materials available = $50000
Less: Ending inventory of Direct Material = $15000
Therefore, Direct material used:
= $50000 - $15000 = $35000
Add: Direct labor = $30000
Conversion cost incurred = $35000 + $30000 = $65000
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.)
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
Data pertaining to the postretirement health care benefit plan of Danielson Delivery Service include the following for the current calendar year: Service cost $ 150,000 APBO, January 1 $ 800,000 Plan assets (fair value), January 1 $ 80,000 Prior service cost (current year amortization, $2,000) $ 90,000 Retiree benefits paid (end of year) $ 90,000 Net gain (current year amortization, $1,000) $ 92,000 Contribution to health care fund (end of year) $ 85,000 Return on plan assets (actual and expected) 10 % Discount rate 8 % Required: 1. Determine Danielson's postretirement benefit expense for the current year.
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

In 2008, Betserai was a 10-year-old quintrillionaire living in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He was literally rolling in money. 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.
C. Rapid rises in price levels made the Zimbabwean dollar near worthless in terms of purchasing power.
D. All of these statements could explain what happened in Zimbabwe in 2008.
Answer:
C. Rapid rises in price levels made the Zimbabwean dollar near worthless in terms of purchasing power.
Explanation:
As in the given situation it is mentioned that 10 year old boy has the bill of billion dollar this represented that the country really printed the bill of billion dollar. It means that the attempt is to be done in order to print a currenct note of higher denomination that also represent that the country would increased such level also at the same time a big amount is required to purchased the goods and services.
Also the high denomination values would not consist of actual value as they have purchasing power i.e. negligible
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
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.
