Answer: B. 17.5 days
Explanation:
The safety stock that Jackson Collectibles has is 35 units.
Their weekly demand however is 14 units.
This means that the number of weeks they can survive on safety stock is:
= Safety stock / demand per week
= 35 / 14
= 2.5 weeks
In days this is:
= 2.5 * 7
= 17.5 days

= 27.86%
5) Big Corporation had the following sales over the last 4 years; Year Sales (in 000s) bgs 1 225.00 2 236.25 3 243.125 4 248.00 a) What was the growth rate in sales between years 1
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
a) What was the growth rate in sales between years 1 and 2
Growth rate measures the increase in the level of sales over a period of time
Growth rate from year 1 to 2 = (increase in sales from year 1 to 2 / sales in year 1) x 100
increase in sales from year 1 to 2 = 236.25 - 225 = 11.25
(11.25 / 225) x 100 = 5%

In September, Lauren Ashley Company purchased materials costing $200,000 and incurred direct labor cost of $110,000. Overhead totaled $365,000 for the month. Information on inventories was as follows: September 1 September 30Materials $110,000 $120,000Work in process $60,000 $90,000Finished goods $75,000 $75,000Required:1. What was the cost of direct materials used in September ?$2. What was the total manufacturing cost in September ?$3. What was the cost of goods manufactured for September ?$
Answer:
1. Cost of Direct materials in September
= Opening stock of materials + Purchases - Closing stock
= 110,000 + 200,000 - 120,000
= $190,000
2. Total manufacturing cost in September:
= Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= 190,000 + 110,000 + 365,000
= $665,000
3. Cost of good manufactured:
= Total manufacturing cost + Beginning work in process - Ending work in process
= 665,000 + 60,000 - 90,000
= $635,000
What is the expected after-tax cash flow from selling a piece of equipment if GlivCo purchases the equipment today for $730,000, the tax rate is 35 percent, the equipment is sold in 2 years for $81,000, and MACRS depreciation is used where the depreciation rates in years 1, 2, 3, and 4 are 51%, 27%, 15%, and 7%, respectively
Answer: $108,860
Explanation:
Book value at time of sale:
= Cost price - Accumulated depreciation
= 730,000 - ( 730,000 * ( 51% + 27%))
= 730,000 - 569,400
= $160,600
Asset was sold at $81,000 which is a loss of:
= 81,000 - 160,600
= -$79,600
Tax on this loss:
= -79,600 * 35%
= -$27,860
After-tax cash flow:
= Sales price + tax
= 81,000 + 27,860
= $108,860

At your new job you estimate that your average salary over your working years will be $95,000 per year. How many more years would you have to work to receive as much benefit from a flat benefit of $3,000 times years of service as you would receive from 3.75 percent of your average salary times years of service?
Answer:
1.1875 or 1.19 times
Explanation:
The calculation of the no of years is to be given below;
= 3.75 % of average salary × years of service = 3000 × years of service
So,
= 0.0375 × 95000 × years of service = 3000 × years of service
So, the years of service is
= 3562.5 ÷ 3000
= 1.1875 or 1.19 times
Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $43,200. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,800. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 227,500 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 58,000 miles in year 1 and 62,000 miles in year 2. Required: Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods:1. Straight-line. 2. Double-declining-balance.3. Activity-based.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $43,200
Salvage value= $6,800
Useful life= 4 years
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (43,200 - 6,800) / 4
Annual depreciation= $9,100
It remains constant during the whole useful life.
Now, using the double-declining method:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(43,200 - 6,800) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $18,200
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(36,400 - 18,200) / 4]
Annual depreciation= $9,200
Finally, the units-of-activity method:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles driven
During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 227,500 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 58,000 miles in year 1 and 62,000 miles in year 2
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= [(43,200 - 6,800) / 227,500]*58,000
Annual depreciation= $9,280
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 0.16*62,000
Annual depreciation= $9,920

Gordon Corporation's stock is expected to pay a dividend of $4 per share at the end of this year. The dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 7%. The stock is currently selling for $100 per share. What would be the investor's expected rate of return on the stock
Answer: 11%
Explanation:
Using the Gordon Growth Model, the price of a stock is:
= Next dividend / (Expected return - Growth rate)
The growth rate will therefore be:
100 = 4 / (r - 7%)
(r - 7%) * 100 = 4
r - 7% = 4 /100
r = 4% + 7%
= 11%
Coronado Company received proceeds of $209000 on 10-year, 5% bonds issued on January 1, 2016. The bonds had a face value of $220000, pay interest annually on January 1, and have a call price of 102. Coronado uses the straight-line method of amortization. Coronado Company decided to redeem the bonds on January 1, 2018. What amount of gain or loss would Coronado report on its 2018 income statement
Answer:
Coronado Company
The amount of gain or loss that Coronado would report on its 2018 income statement is:
= $13,200.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Bonds proceeds = $209,000
Bonds face value = 220,000
Bonds Discounts = $11,000
Period of bonds = 10 years
Straight-line amortization = $1,100 annually
Interest payment = annually
Coupon rate rate = 5%
Fair value on January 1, 2017 = $210,100 ($209,000 + $1,100)
Fair value on January 1, 2018 = $211,200 ($210,100 + $1,100)
Call price = 102
Total call value (cash payment) = $224,400 ($220,000 * 102/100)
Loss to report on its 2018 income statement = $13,200 ($224,400 - $209,000 - $2,200)

What is the reasoning behind having the seven Fed Board of Governors remain for 14 years on the Federal Reserve?
a) Participating in the Fed for the 14 year time period allows the board members to build up seniority and on-the-job understanding
b) Longer terms for board members fosters longer relationships and builds strong networks to push through financial changes to the economy.
c) The longer terms are to insulate the members from immediate political pressures and have them focus solely on economic solutions for the nation.
Answer: c) The longer terms are to insulate the members from immediate political pressures and have them focus solely on economic solutions for the nation.
Explanation:
The Fed is independent of the U.S. Government but can still face significant pressure from the U.S. Government as it is the President that nominates the Board of Governors and the Senate confirms them.
Much like Justices on the Supreme Court who get their positions the same way, these governors have to be protected from being used as political pawns so they are given long terms in office to ensure that they can pursue an independent policy without having to worry about the current administration coming after them if they go contrary to its will.

Calculate the return on assets for both companies.
Answer:
Return on assets for Cyberdyne Systems and Virtucon are 0.2 and 0.1 respectively.
Explanation:
Return on asset is a measure of the ratio of the net income to the total average assets of an entity or organization. It givens and insight into the company's ability to generate profits from the use of its assets.
For Cyberdyne Systems, given that Net income $10,375 and the assets at the beginning and end of the period are $58,905 and $60,905
Total average assets = ($58,905 + $60,905)/2
= $59,905
Return on assets = $10,375/$59,905
= 0.17319088
To one decimal place = 0.2
For Virtucon, given that Net income $1,194 and the assets at the beginning and end of the period are 15,184 and 14,884
Total average assets = ($15,184 + $14,884)/2
= $15,034
Return on assets = $1,194/$15,034
= 0.079419981
To one decimal place = 0.1
You estimate that your cattle farm will generate $0.10 million of profits on sales of $2 million under normal economic conditions and that the degree of operating leverage is 5.a. What will profits be if sales turn out to be $1.6 million
Answer:
Profit would decrease to $0.0 million
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage is the change in profit as a result of the change in sales revenue
DOL=% change in profit/% change in sales
DOL=5
% change in profit=unknown
% change in sales=($1.6m-$2.0m)/$2.0m
% change in sales=-20%
5=% change in profit/-20%
% change in profit=5*-20%
% change in profit=-100%
the new amount of profit=current amount of profit*(1-% change in profit)
current amount of profit=$0.10 million
the new amount of profit=$0.10 million*(1-100%)
the new amount of profit=$0.0 million
Your client has called for help with their bank feeds in QuickBooks Online. You begin by asking them to open the Banking tab in the Left Navigation bar and your client tells you that she doesn't see this option listed.
Choices:
A) Your client doesn't have bank feeds enabled
B) Your client has Business view selected in their settings
C) Your client has turned off the Banking option in their settings
D) Your client has the Simple Start subscription for QuickBooks Online
Choice B
Explanation:
There are two views when it comes to Quickbooks Online: Business view and Accountant view. Accounting view is for more seasoned users who have some form of accounting training so it has more features.
Business view on the other hand is simplified for those who don't know much about accounting. It is easy to follow and some features are reordered for simplicity.
The Banking tab is one of those features and it is not openly shown in the business view so the most probably the reason your client can't see it is that she is using the Business view.
A product sells for $30 per unit and has variable costs of $16.75 per unit. The fixed costs are $861,250. If the variable costs per unit were to decrease to $15.25 per unit, fixed costs increase to $958,750, and the selling price does not change, break-even point in units would:
Answer:
Remain unchanged
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Initial Breakeven quantity = $861,250 / ($30 - $16.75) = 65,000
New = $958,750 / ( $30 - $15.25 ) = 65,000
The new and initial breakeven quantity are the same : 65,000

If your short-term interest rate (the rate on your current debt) is 12.1%, then your bond rate (the rate on your long-term debt) is:
Answer: 13.5% (14% higher than the current debt rate)

Explanation:
A farm equipment company, Agrarian Tractors, issues quarterly bonuses to its sales agents. This quarter Clay sold more tractors than anyone else in the company and exceeded his sales goals for the fifth consecutive quarter.
However, as the bonuses were issued, Clay received the same bonus as all the other Agrarian Tractors sales agents.
Based on the equity theory, Clay will probably focus on just his quarterly goals.
This is because he sees that his outstanding output wasn't rewarded so he would focus on just meeting his quarterly goals, rather than exceeding it.
What do you call it when you don't invest in your new and smaller businesses?
Answer:
investment foe buisness
When you don't invest in your new and smaller businesses, it is called debt investment.
Debt investment basically means opting to use an amount borrowed to finance one's business (either big or small business). This investment refers to a scenario when an investor (i.e. banks) lend money to the entrepreneur with the expectation that the entrepreneur will pay-back the investment with interest.
This type of business running system is somewhat burdensome because of repayment of the loan with interest.
The advantage of this method of financing is that the capital is fully provided to the business owner.
