On March 1 the price of oil is $60 and the July futures price is $59. On June 1 the price of oil is $64 and the July futures price is $63.50. A company entered into a futures contracts on March 1 to hedge the purchase of oil on June 1. It closed out its position on June 1. After taking account of the cost of hedging, what is the effective price paid by the company for the oil
Answer:
$59.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the effective price paid by the company for the oil
Using this formula
Net price paid=Buy oil-Profit from futures
Let plug in the formula
Net price paid=$64-($63.50-$59)
Net price paid=$64-$4.50
Net price paid=$59.50
Therefore the effective price paid by the company for the oil will be $59.50

Variable $100,000 $ 25,000 Fixed 150,000 75,000 Total $250,000 $100,000 What is the initial selling price needed to obtain a target profit of $50,000 using the manufacturing cost markup method
Answer: $8.00
Explanation:
Details missing in question are:
These costs are for 50,000 units.
$250,000 is manufacturing cost. $100,000 is administrative cost.
The total manufacturing cost is shown to be $250,000 above.
A profit of $50,000 is needed in addition to this cost as well as the administrative cost of $100,000.
Total revenue expected is therefore:
= 250,000 + 100,000 + 50,000
= $400,000
50,000 units are to be sold so to make a revenue of $400,000, each unit should be sold for:
= 400,000 / 50,000
= $8.00
An increase in interest rates will help increase the future value of a portfolio because the cash flows produced by the portfolio: a. will increase the maturity value of the bond. b. will decrease the yield to maturity of the bond. c. can be used to recall high-rate bonds. d. can be reinvested at higher rates of return. e. will generate cash to pay future coupon interest.
Answer:
d. can be reinvested at higher rates of return.
Explanation:
Option d. can be reinvested at higher rates of return.
The interest rates on the portfolio is the yield that a person receives on his investment. This yield he gets periodically, therefore amount received can be used to generate further yields by reinvesting it into higher interest paying investments.

Assume the credit terms offered to your firm by your suppliers are 2.7/5, Net 30. Calculate the cost of the trade credit if your firm does not take the discount and pays on day 30.
Answer: 49.02%
Explanation:
The cost of the trade credit will be calculated thus:
Amount when discount is availed will be: = 100-2.7 = 97.3
Discount rate = 2.7
Interest rate per period = 2.7/97.3 2.77%
Number of Days = 30-5 = 25
Therefore, the EAR will be calculated as:
= [(1+2.77%)^(365/25)] - 1
= 49.02%
Winston Company reported net income of $50,000 for the year. During the year, accounts receivable decreased by $7,000, accounts payable increased by $3,000 and depreciation expense of $5,000 was recorded. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year is Group of answer choices $40,000. $65,000. $49,000. $45,000.
Answer:
$65000
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
To find the net cash from the operating activity, we are required to add depreciation, accounts payable and accounts receivables.
Net income of the company = $50000
Add- expenses of depreciation = 5000
Add - Increase in accounts payable = 3000
Add - Decrease in accounts receivable = $7000
Thus net cash from operating activity = 50000 + 5000 + 3000 + 7000 = $65000
If 20,000 units in ending inventory are 75% complete with respect to direct materials and 60% complete as to conversion costs, then the equivalent units of production for direct materials are ________ and for conversion costs are _________. The weighted-average method is used.A. 12,000 and 12,000B. 15,000 and 12,000C. 20,000 and 20,000D. 15,000 and 15,000
Answer:
B. 15,000 and 12,000
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production is given below;
For direct material
= 20,000 units × 75%
= 15,000 units
For conversion cost
= 20,000 × 60%
= 12,000 units
Hence, the option b is correct
So, the same should be considered
Two people are trying to work out a trade. One person has apples and the
other has pineapples. They check a supermarket and see that apples sell
for $1 each and pineapples sell for $2 each. They agree to trade two
apples for every pineapple.
This situation best illustrates which function of money?
Answer:
Measure of Value
Explanation:
The function of money being illustrated is known as a Measure of Value. This is basically when an item's monetary values are compared when making a trade. In this scenario, both the apples and pineapples are being compared based on their monetary value. Since a single pineapple is worth twice the amount of money that a single apple is worth. Then that means that a fair trade would be two apples for every pineapple which would be a trade of the same amount of monetary value.

Suppose net exports and net capital outflow are in equilibrium in a small open economy. If foreign governments adopt expansionary fiscal policy, in the small open economy the real exchange rate ____________ and net exports ____________. g
Answer:
the small open economy the real exchange rate DEPRECIATES and net exports INCREASE.
Explanation:
If the government adopts an expansionary monetary policy, then the country's currency will depreciate since a higher interest rate will result in a lower value according to the PPP thoery. When a currency depreciates, the exports become cheaper for foreign countries, so they increase. While the imports become more expensive and they decrease.
In an inventory control system, the annual demand is 12,000 units, the ordering cost is GHS 30 per order and the inventory holding cost is GHS 3.00 per year. The order quantity is 1000 units and the cost per unit of the item is GHS 150. What is the total cost per year?
Answer:
Total cost per year = $1,801,860
Explanation:
Given:
Annual demand = 12,000 units
Ordering cost = $30 per order
Inventory holding cost = $3 per year
Order quantity = 1000 units
Cost per unit of the item = $150
Find:
Total cost per year
Computation:
Total cost per year = Purchase cost + Order cost + Inventory holding cost
Total cost per year = [12,000 x 150] + [12,000/1000 x 30] + [1,000/2 x 3]
Total cost per year = 1,800,000 + 360 + 1500
Total cost per year = $1,801,860

As an importer of grain into Japan from the United States, you have agreed to pay $377,287 in 90 days after you receive your grain. You face the following exchange rates and interest rates: spot rate, ¥106.35/$, 90-day forward rate ¥106.02/$, 90-day USD interest rate, 3.25% p.a., 90-day JPY interest rate, 1.9375% p.a. First, you could hedge your risk by buying dollars forward at ¥106.02/$. Second, you could determine the present value of the dollars that you owe and buy that amount of dollars today in the spot market. You could borrow that amount of yen to avoid having to pay today. Based on the two alternatives, how much can you save between the two alternatives? A) ¥39,999,967.74 B) ¥6092.53 C) ¥198,879.05 D) ¥124,504.71 E) None of the above
Answer:
B) ¥6092.53
Explanation:
We can hedge the risk by buying dollars forward contract at a price of ¥106.02/$ which is 90 days forward rate because the payment is due in 90 days. The total contract would amount to ¥106.02/$ * $377,287 = ¥39,999,967.74
The second alternative is to buy dollar at todays date. The present value of the dollars will be ;
$377,287 / 1.008125 = $374,246.25
If we buy dollars at spot rate then,
¥106.35/$ × $374,246.25 = ¥39,801,088.69
The future value of yen will be :
¥39,801,088.69 × (1.00484375) = ¥39,993,875.2
The difference between the two alternatives will be :
¥39,999,967.74 - ¥39,993,875.2 = ¥6092.53
A borrows 10,000 from B and repays with 40 quarterly installments at a 4% annual effective rate. After 6 years, B sells the rights to future payments to C, at a price which yields C 6% annual effective over the remaining installment periods. What price did C pay
Answer:
$4,303.68
Explanation:
Quarterly payment = $10,000 / 32.835 (PVIFA, 1%, 40 periods) = $304.55
After 6 years, the principal due = $4,483
Present value of an annuity = payment x PVIFA = $304.55 x 14.13126 (PVIFA, 1.5%, 16 periods) = $4,303.68
The difference is not significant since the remaining payments are not many, and the increase in quarterly rate is only 0.5%
If a company selects either of Project 1 or Project 2 (or both), then either Project 3 or Project 4 (or both) must also be selected. Which of the following constraints enforce this condition?
a. X1 + X2 ≤ 2(X3 + X4)
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
c. X1 − X3 = X2 − X4
d. X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 ≤ 2
Answer:
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
Explanation:
b. X1 + X2 ≤ X3 + X4
The situation tells us that the sum of both 1 and 2 must be equal to the sum of 3 and 4 which is true, because if both projects 1& 2 are selected then the both projects 3 & 4 must also be selected.
The rest of the choices are wrong because
a. X1 + X2 ≤ 2(X3 + X4)
The sum of projects 1& 2 is not less than 2 times sum of projects 3 & 4 .
c. X1 − X3 = X2 − X4
If we leave project 3 then project 4 cannot be left out.
d. X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 ≤ 2
any two projects out of the four cannot be chosen. 1 must be chosen from 1&2 and the other from 3 &4.

Rye Company has provided the following information: Weighted average number of outstanding common shares, 192,000 Net income, $441,600 Number of authorized common shares, 390,000 Number of treasury shares, 23,000 If Rye has issued 215,000 shares, what is Rye's earnings per share (EPS)
Answer:
$2.30
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what is Rye's earnings per share (EPS)
Using this formula
Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Weighted average number of outstanding shares
Let plug in the formula
Earnings per share= $441,600 ÷ (215,000 shares issued - 23 000 shares in treasury)
Earnings per share= $441,600 ÷192,000
Earnings per share= $2.30
Therefore Rye's earnings per share (EPS) is $2.30

GEN TRIZ is a major vehicle for guaranteeing a distance from the market view and profit from MPV. Even the highest specialized arrangements risk a limited financial value without this view. A limited emphasis on MPV guarantees that the only focus of small R&D development assets is to improve customers' issues rather than to improve everything.
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the leading competitors in the market for cola products. In 1960 Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, which today is the worldwide leader in the lemon-lime soft drink market and ranks fourth among all soft drinks worldwide. Prior to 1999, PepsiCo did not have a product that competed directly against Sprite and had to decide whether to introduce such a soft drink. By not introducing a lemon-lime soft drink, PepsiCo would continue to earn a $200 million profit, and Coca-Cola would continue to earn a $300 million profit. Suppose that by introducing a new lemon-lime soft drink, one of two possible strategies could be pursued: (1) PepsiCo could trigger a price war with Coca-Cola in both the lemon-lime and cola markets, or (2) Coca-Cola could acquiesce and each firm maintain its current 50/50 split of the cola market and split the lemon-lime market 30/70 (PepsiCo/Coca-Cola). If PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and a price war resulted, both companies would earn profits of $100 million. Alternatively, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would earn $275 million and $227 million, respectively, if PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and Coca-Cola acquiesced and split the markets as listed above. If you were a manager at PepsiCo, would you try to convince your colleagues that introd

Annuity due. Reginald is about to lease an apartment for 12 months. The landlord wants him to make the lease payments at the start of the month. The monthly payments are $1 comma 300 per month. The landlord says he will allow Reg to prepay the rent for the entire lease with a discount. The one-time payment due at the beginning of the lease is $14 comma 778 . What is the implied monthly discount rate for the rent? If Reg is earning 1.5 % on his savings monthly, should he pay by month or make the one-time payment?
Answer:
a. The implied monthly discount rate for the rent is 0.843% (10.115%/12)
b. He should pay by month because he will earn 1.5% on his savings and pay 0.843% interest monthly.
Explanation:
a) Monthly payments at the start of the month = $1,300
One-time payment at the beginning of the lease = $14,778
Present Value 14778
Residual Value 0
Lease Term 0 years 12 months
Monthly Payment 1300
Result
Interest/Return Rate 10.115%
Total of 12 Monthly Payments $15,600.00
Total Interest $822.00
If Reg is earning 1.5% on his savings monthly, he will earn $21,957:
Annuity factor for 12 months at 1.5% = 16.89
Total of Reg's savings at the end of 12 months = $21,957 ($1,300 * 16.89)
Furniture, Inc., estimates the following number of mattress sales for the first four months of 2019: Month Sales January 29,000 February 40,800 March 34,600 April 36,200 Finished goods inventory at the end of December is 7,000 units. Target ending finished goods inventory is 20% of the next month's sales. How many mattresses need to be produced in January 2019?
Select one:
a. 27,800 mattresses
b. 41,800 mattresses
c. 30,160 mattresses
d. 44,160 mattresses
Answer:
c. 30,160 mattresses
Explanation:
At the beginning of January, we had 7,000 units as opening stock inventory( which was the ending inventory in December), which means out of the planned sales in January 7,000 units are already available
The balance of January sales to be produced in January is the excess of planned sales of 29,000 units over the beginning inventory of 9,000 units
January sales items to be produced in January=29000-7000
January sales items to be produced in January=22,000
Also, we need to produce 20% of February sales in January which would serve as the closing inventory
total production in January=22,000+(40,800*20%)
total production in January=. 30,160 mattresses
t is often costly to obtain the information necessary to make good decisions. yet your own interests can be best served by rationally weighing all options available to you. This requires informed decision making. does this mean that making uninformed decisions is irrational? How do you determine how much information is the right amount?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
1. Yes, making uninformed decisions is irrational. This is because it will cost the individuals making uninformed decisions to lose money in the process. Such individuals may also lose another important aspect concerning their decision, such as technological advantage, political assistance, social benefits, economic privilege, etc.
2. To determine how much information is the right amount is to ensure you continue to acquire information as long as the benefit of the additional information exceeds the additional costs. Otherwise, it is no longer the right amount anymore.

ales $3,700 Current assets $4,500 Current liabilities $960 Costs 2,400 Fixed assets 5,200 Long-term debt 3,620 Taxable income $1,300 Equity 5,120 Taxes (21%) 273 Total $9,700 Total $9,700 Net income $1,027 Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 60 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year's sales are projected to increase by exactly 30 percent. What is the external financing needed
Answer:
$2,088
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the external financing needed
First step is to calculate the Addition to retained earnings
Sales $4,810
($3700*1.30)
Costs $3,120
($2,400*1.30)
Taxable income $1,690
($4,810-$3,120)
Taxes $355
($1,690*21%)
Net income $1,335
($1,690-$355)
Less:Dividends $801
($1,335*60%)
Addition to retained earnings $534
($1,335-$801)
Second step is to calculate the Total assets
Total assets=$9,700*1.30
Total assets=$12,610
Third step is to calculate the Total equity
Total equity =5,120+Addition to retained earnings
Total equity=5,120+$534
Total equity=$5,654
Fourth step is to calculate Current liabilities
Current liabilities =$960*1.30
Current liabilities=$1,248
Fifth step is to calculate the Total liabilities
Total liabilities=Current liabilities+Long term debt
Total liabilities=$1,248+$3,620
Total liabilities=$4,868
Now let determine the External financing needed
Using this formula
External financing needed=Total assets-(Total equity+Total liabilities)
Let plug in the formula
External financing needed=$12,610-($5,654+$4,868)
External financing needed=$12,610-$10,522
External financing needed=$2,088
Therefore the external financing needed is $2,088

product for $20 per unit. Its contribution margin
per unit is
A. $15
B. $13
C. $18
D. Cannot calculate
Answer:
Unitary contribution margin= $13
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin ratio= 65%
Selling price per unit= $20
To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= Contribution margin ratio*selling price
Unitary contribution margin= 0.65*20
Unitary contribution margin= $13
