Answer:
Starbucks and Kraft Foods
The reasons companies terminate contracts before their expiration include impossibility of performance, material breaches of contract terms, misrepresentation, fraud, lack of capacity, mutual mistake, and frustration.
The reason for Starbucks' termination of the contract was "multiple material breaches." These were not established by the arbitrator, who delivered judgment in Kraft's favor.
It is not always realistic to terminate a long-standing contract without abiding by the contract termination terms because the damages and accruing interests that can be awarded against the terminating company may be too huge.
Explanation:
The "multiple material breaches" that Starbucks alleged against Kraft included the allegation that "Kraft did not always meet minimum advertising budgets or keep Starbucks involved in major initiatives." According to Starbucks, these violations eroded its "brand equity."

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%

Law Office employ 12 full-time attorneys and 5 paraprofessionals. Budgeted salaries include $100,000 for each attorney and $30,000 per paraprofessional. For 20x1, indirect costs were budgeted at $250,000, but actually amounted to $300,000. Actual salaries were $110,000 for each attorney and $30,000 for each paraprofessional. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a professional labor-hour basis that includes both attorney and paraprofessional hours. Total budgeted labor-hours were 50,000; however, actual labor-hours were 60,000.
How much should the client be billed in a normal costing system which uses budgeted rate and cost allocations are based on actual data, when 1,000 professional labor-hours were used?a. $27,000b. $32,000c. $34,800d. $37,400
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
= ($110,000 × 12 + $30,000 × 5) / 60,000 × 1,000
= ($1,320,000 + $150,000) / 60,000,000
= $1,470,000 / 60,000,000 + $300,000/60,000) × 1,000
= $0.0245 + $5,000

If the best operating level of a process X is 1026 bottles per day and the actual output during a day is 786 bottles, then what is the capacity utilization rate for process X
Answer:
greater than 70% but less than or equal to 90%
Explanation:
The computation of the capacity utilization rate for process X is shown below:
As we know that
Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output ÷ Design Capacity) × 100
= (786 ÷ 1026) × 100
= 76.61%
So, it is greater than 70% but less than or equal to 90%
On January 1, Pharoah Company had 87000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. On May 7, the company declared a 5% stock dividend to stockholders of record on May 21. Market value of the stock was $16 on May 7. The stock was distributed on May 24. The entry to record the transaction of May 24 would include a
Answer: credit to Common Stock Dividends Distributable for $43500
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the entry to record the transaction of May 24 goes thus:
Debit Stock Dividend = 87000 × 5% × $16 = $69600
Credit To Common Stock Dividend Distributable = 87000 × 5% × $10 = $43500
Credit To Paid in capital in excess of Par - Common Stock = $69600 - $43500 = $26100

After successfully completing your corporate finance class, you feel the next challenge ahead is to serve on the board of directors of Schenkel Enterprises. Unfortunately, you will be the only individual voting for you. a. If the company has 470,000 shares outstanding and the stock currently sells for $41, how much will it cost you to buy a seat if the company uses straight voting
Answer: $9,635,041
Explanation:
With 470,000 shares, you will need to hold a majority to vote yourself into the board.
To gain a majority, you need more than 50% of the shares:
= 470,000 / 2 + 1 share to give you majority
= 235,001 shares
The cost of 235,001 shares is:
= 235,001 * 41
= $9,635,041

You sell 25,000 loaf of bread per year. The carrying cost associated the main ingredient wheat flour is estimated to be $8 per unit (amount used for 1 loaf of bread) per year, and the ordering cost is $10 per order. And assume 1 year is 300 days and lead time is 3 days.
Required:
a. What is the EOQ?
b. How much money you will lose if you order 300 units of wheat flour? Calculate the total cost of inventory with EOQ model and with order size is 300. The difference will give you the answer.
c. Calculate the re-order point (assuming no uncertainty)?
Answer:
Annual Demand (D) = 25000
Carrying Cost (H) = 8
Ordering Costs (S) = 10
Number of working days = 300
Lead Time (Lt) = 3 days
a. EOQ = Sqrt (2*D*S/H)
EOQ = Sqrt (2*25000*10/8)
EOQ = Sqrt (62500)
EOQ = 250
b. Total Cost = (D * S) / EOQ + (EOQ * H) / 2
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 250 + (250 * 8) / 2
Total Cost = 1000 + 1000
Total Cost = 2000
Now, we calculate total Cost with order size: of 300
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 300 + (300 * 8) / 2
Total Costs = 833.3333 + 1200
Total Cost = 2,033.3333
The amount to lost if we order 300 units of wheat flour is as follows
= 2033.33 - 2000
= $33.33
3. ROP = (D / Number of working days) x Lt
ROP = (25000 / 300) * 3
ROP = 83.3333 * 3
ROP = 249.9999
ROP = 250

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
Favre and Carter Law Office employ 12 full-time attorneys and 5 paraprofessionals. Budgeted salaries include $100,000 for each attorney and $30,000 per paraprofessional. For 20x1, indirect costs were budgeted at $250,000, but actually amounted to $300,000. Actual salaries were $110,000 for each attorney and $30,000 for each paraprofessional. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a professional labor-hour basis that includes both attorney and paraprofessional hours. Total budgeted labor-hours were 50,000; however, actual labor-hours were 60,000.
How much should the client be billed in a normal costing system which uses budgeted rate and cost allocations are based on actual data, when 1,000 professional labor-hours were used?
a. $27,000
b. $32,000
c. $34,800
d. $37,400
Answer:
Billed costs= $32,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total estimated cost attorney= 12*100,000= $1,200,000
Total estimated cost paraprofessional= 5*30,000= $150,000
Estimated Indirect costs= $250,000
Estimated number of hours= 50,000
First, we need to calculate the allocation rate:
Allocation rate= total estimated costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Allocation rate= (1,200,000 + 150,000 + 250,000) / 50,000
Allocation rate= 1,600,000/50,000
Allocation rate= $32
Now, for 1,000 hours:
Billed costs= 1,000*32= $32,000

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with four years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 6%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:_________.
a.) $841,635.85
b.) $715,390.47
c.) $530,230.59
d.) $1,009,963.02
Answer:
a.) $841,635.85
Explanation:
The value of the Treasury note is the present value of its future cash flows, its semiannual coupon payments and the face value receivable by the investors in the T-note at maturity.
Semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value=$1,000,000
coupon rate=6%
semiannual coupon=$1,000,000*6%*6/12
semiannual coupon=$30,000( there would 8 semiannual coupons in 4 years)
The present value of the cash flows can be determined using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=8(semiannual coupons)
PMT=30000(amount of each semiannual coupon)
I/Y=5.50%(semiannual yield to maturity=11.00%*6/12)
FV=1000000(the face value of T-note)

A bill was introduced into Congress last year suggesting changes to the income tax code. Congress now passed this new tax reform act in the last session and over the next few years the new laws will begin to impact the nation. This is an example of what type of policy
Answer:
Macroeconomic fiscal policy.
Explanation:
Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.
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
A director who becomes involved in litigation because of his or her position has no right to be indemnified for the costs. a. True b. False
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
It is considered to be one of the most complicated and expensive type of organization.
Generally, a corporation is considered to be perpetual in nature and it is a body that comprises of a group of people such as directors, shareholders etc., who act as a single entity.
One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.
Hence, a director who becomes involved in litigation because of his or her position has a right to be indemnified or reimbursed for the costs involved or incurred.

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.

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
Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $205,000 per year forever with the first payment 12 years from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 4 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today?
Answer:
PV= $3,201,059.88
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual cash flow= $205,000
First payment= 12 years from today
Interest rate= 4%
First, we need to calculate the value of the account 12 years from today. We need to use the following formula:
FV= Cf/ i
FV= 205,000 / 0.04
FV= $5,125,000
Now, the amount to be deposited today:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
