Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

One of these occurs when costs are not paid for, as in pollution, the other is when there is an imbalance of knowledge between buyer and seller. Pollution  can be a consequence that cannot be solved with money and can also be socially irresponsible for a company. On the other hand, an imbalance of knowledge can prevent a company from profit maximization if the seller does not understand the product or services that the buyer is selling.

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?

Answers

Answer:

I will borrow yen at 6% a year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000

Spot rate = $1 = ¥107

Forward rate = $1 to ¥120

Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months

Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)

Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)

Gain from forward contract = $404.99

Interest cost for borrowing =      112.15

Overall debt hedging gain =  $292.84

By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84.  This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen.  Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales in Units

April 54,000

May 75,000

June 94,000

July 82,000

Desired ending inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.

To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

April:

Sales= 54,000

Ending inventory= 75,000*0.2= 15,000

Beginning inventory= (10,800)

Total= 58,200 units

May:

Sales= 75,000

Ending inventory= 94,000*0.2= 18,800

Beginning inventory= (15,000)

Total= 78,800 units

June:

Sales= 94,000

Ending inventory= 82,000*0.2= 16,400

Beginning inventory= (18,800)

Total= 91,600 units

Total for the quarter= 228,600 units

In the above case, Sales in Units in the month of April is 54,000, in the month of May is 75,000, in the month of June is 94,000 and in the month of July is 82,000.

What is sales?

A sale is defined as a transaction between the parties in which the purchaser acquires goods, services, or assets in return for money. In some cases, other assets are pay off to a seller.

Computation of production:

According to the available information,

Desirable closing inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.

The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.

To calculate the production in each month, the formula is:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}[/tex]

Production in the month of April:

According to the given information,

Sales= 54,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]=75,000\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\= 15,000[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 10,800

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =54,000+15,000-10,800\\\\\text{Production}=58,200\text{Units}[/tex]

Production in the month of May:

Sales= 75,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]=94,000\times \frac{20}{100}\\\\= 18,800[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 15,000

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =75,000+18,800-15,000\\\\\text{Production}=78,800\text{Units}[/tex]

Production in the month of June:

Sales= 94,000

Ending inventory:

[tex]872,000\times\dfrac{20}{100}= 16,400[/tex]

Beginning inventory= 18,800

Now, apply the given values in the above formula:

[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =94,000+16,400-18,800\\\\\text{Production}=91,600\text{Units}[/tex]

Therefore, the Total for the quarter :

[tex]=\text{May's Production + June's Production+Juily's Production}\\\\=58,200+78,800+91,600 \text{Units}\\= 228,600 \text{Units}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Net income available to common stockholders is $1,075,000

Explanation:

Basic earnings per share = $2.8290 per share.

ignoring taxes what is the effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives

Answers

Answer: C. $40 million.

Explanation:

By granting them 15 million shares subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years, the company is compensating them.

The total amount that they will be compensated with has to be apportioned over the 3 years as an expense that will reduce earnings per year.

Total compensation = No. of shares * fair value of shares

= 15,000,000 * 8

= $120,000,000

Apportioned over 3 years;

= $40,000,000

Ray's Satellite Emporium wishes to determine the best order size for its best-selling satellite dish (model TS111). Ray has estimated the annual demand for this model at 1,500 units. His cost to carry one unit is $80 per year per unit, and he has estimated that each order costs $22 to place.
Using the EOQ model, how many should Ray order each time?

Answers

Answer:

28.72 units

Explanation:

Calculation of how many should Ray order each time using EOQ model

Using this formula

EOQ= √2DS/H

Where,

D=Annual demand 1,500 units

S=Order costs $22

H=Holding Costs $80 per unit

Let plug in the formula

EOQ=√2*1,500*$22/$80

EOQ=√66,000/$80

EOQ=√825

EOQ=28.72 units

Therefore Using the EOQ model, Ray should order 28.72 units each time.

Answers

Answer:

c. $12,000 preferred: $23,000 common

Explanation:

Calculation of how the Dividend should be distributed

First step is to calculate for preferred stock outstanding

Preferred stock outstanding=$150,000 * 8% non-cumulative

Preferred stock outstanding=$12,000

Second step is to calculate for common stock outstanding

Using this formula

Common stock outstanding = Cash Dividend-Preferred stock outstanding

Let plug in the formula

Common stock outstanding=$35,000-$12,000

Common stock outstanding=$23,000

Therefore Preferred stock outstanding will be $12,000 while Common stock outstanding will be $23,000

an investment under consideration has a payback of six years and a cost of 876000. Assume the cash flows are conventional. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the worst-case NPV?

Answers

Answer:

-43291.14

Explanation:

Npv = net present value

Payback = 6 years

Required return = 12 percent

Cost = 876000

When we talk about last case npv we mean that cash flow has gotten to its last future. The entire cost of 876000 will have to be paid after 6 years and after that future cash flows would exist.

Npv = -876000 +(876000/1.12)⁶

= -876000+443808.86

= = -43291.14

The dollar amount of rent expense allocated to Department B is:_______

Answers

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B

Using this formula

Expense allocated to Department B= Rent expense allocated to Department A and B* Department B square feet/Department A and Department B Square foot

Let plug in the formula

Expense allocated to department B =$3,000*2,500/5,000+2,500

Expense allocated to department B= $3,000 * 2,500 / 7,500

Expense allocated to department B =$7,500,000/7,500

Expense allocated to department B= $1,000

Therefore the Dollar amount of rent expense allocated to department B will be $1,000

Answers

Answer:

$293,980.13

Explanation:

Calculation of how much of the interest revenue Princess will record in 2022 on the lease

First Step is to find the interest for year 2021

Present Value January 1, 2021 $3,961,183

Less Payment January 1, 2021 (675,000)

=$3,286,183

Hence,

2021 Interest =$3,286,183× 10%

2021 Interest = $328,618.3

Second Step

Second Payment $675,000

Less Interest (328,618.3)

Reduced balance $346,381.7

Third Step is to find the how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on the lease

2021 $3,286,183

Less Reduced balance (346,381.7)

January 1 2022 Liability = $2,939,801.3× 10%

2022 Interest Revenue =$293,980.13

Therefore the amount of interest revenue that Princess will record in 2022 on the lease will be $293,980.13

Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. Northwest paid freight charges of $8,900. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $3,700 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $362,000. Northwest uses a perpetual inventory system. What is ending inventory assuming Northwest uses the gross method to record purchases

Answers

Answer:

The ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011

Explanation:

Purchases = Net purchases + Freight inwards

Purchases = 491,111 + 8,900

Purchases = 500,011

When Net purchase = Gross Purchase - Purchase return - Discount

Net purchase = 510,000 - 3,700- 15,189

Net purchase = 491,111

Working

Discount = (Purchases - Purchase return) × Discount rate

Discount = (510,000 - 3,700) * 3%

Discount = 15,189

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchases− Cost of good sold

Ending inventory = (105,000 + 500,011) - 362,000

Ending inventory = $243,011

Thus, the ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011.

Explanation:

Every municipal bond that is purchased at premium is subject to straight line depreciation, whether the premium be trading premium or original issue premium.

Here the premium is 5 points = 105 - 100

Which shall be amortised over its useful life of 10 years.

Thus, for each year 1/2 point is amortised without allowing any tax deduction.

Thus, after 4 years total amortisation = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 4years = 2[/tex]

Thus, value at end of year 4 = 105 - 2 = 103 basis point.

Further the selling amount = 105 basis point.

Thus, 105 - 103 = 2 basis point shall be taxable.

Answers

Answer: Migrate to Flaxon

Explanation:

If Flaxon country has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country but also has greater price stability, Cho would emigrate if she wanted more economic growth because Price stability contributes to the growth of the economy.

Price stability means that the country is not going to experience inflation (deflation) that is too high (low) and lasts too long as well as one that is erratic.

This benefits the economy because;

Savings will not be easily eroded by inflation.Decisions can be made easier as inflation rates can be better predictable. For instance, people can save or invest at a particular rate that they know will bring them real return as it will be over the inflation rate.  Unexpected deflation will not cause companies to make losses which can increase unemployment and company shutdowns and,Financial institutions can borrow out loans at more stable rates for investments because in a less stable market they would have to charge higher rates to ensure that they do not make losses should inflation change. These stable rates will attract companies and individuals who will use the funds for investment and improve the economy.

A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year

Answers

Answer:

the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.

Explanation:

First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :

PV = - $946.02

Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51

P/yr = 1

FV = $979.58

n = 1

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.

Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1

                   =  (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1

                   = 0.0618 or 6.18 %

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years. Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00% The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years. Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below: Year Sales volume (units) Unit selling price Year 1 40,000 $80.00 Year 2 50,000 $75.00 Year 3 35,000 $50.00 Year 4 25,000 $45.00 What is the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model

Answers

Answer:

Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4

Explanation:

Given that:

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%

The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:

Year                  Sales volume (units)                   Unit selling price

Year 1                       40,000                                 $80.00

Year 2                      50,000                                 $75.00

Year 3                     35,000                                   $50.00

Year 4                      25,000                                  $45.00

The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.

The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:

= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)

For Year 1

=  $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)

= $80.00 - $16.00

= $64.00

For Year 2

= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)

= $75.00 - ( $15.00)

= $60.00

Year 3

= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)

= $50.00 - $10.00

= $40.00

Year 4

= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)

=$45.00 - $9.00

= $36.00

Year       Sales volume    Unit                Cost          Cost per Unit

                (units)             selling price  

Year 1       40,000          $80.00          $64.00       $2560000

Year 2      50,000          $75.00          $60.00       $3000000

Year 3      35,000          $50.00          $40.00        $1400000

Year 4       25,000          $45.00         $36.00        $900000

Total:        150000                                                    $7860000

Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000

Allowable unit cost = 52.4

good is excludable if: a. it is Wi-Fi or a similar service. b. people who do not pay cannot be easily prevented from using the good. c. one person's use of the good does not reduce the ability of another person to use the same good. d. people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

people who do not pay can be easily prevented from using the good. (d)

Explanation:

Excludable goods or services are those to which the consumer cannot have access unless payment of some form is made. By contrast, a non-excludable good or service is one to which the consumer cannot be prevented from using even without payment. Excludable goods can be further divided into rivalrous and non-rivalrous.

A rivalrous excludable good or service is one in which usage by a consumer or usage by one party prevents or reduces significantly, its use by another consumer or party examples are goods such as clothes, food, cars etc, while non-rivalrous excludable goods/services include tv subscriptions, cinemas, etc.

Answers

Answer:

hello some details/parts of your question are missing attached below is the missing part

answer : A ) = 24.13%

              B ) =  0.1084, The preceding data series represents a SAMPLE        

              C ) =  0.4494

Explanation:

A) The average realized  return on FF stock can be calculated as

= 24% + 16.15% + 29% +39.9% + 12.35% / 5

= 24.13%

B) The preceding data series represents a SAMPLE  standard deviation BECAUSE RETURNS WERE MADE ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS

and the sample standard deviation is calculated as

[tex]s^2 = \frac{summation ( x - mean vale)^2}{N-1}[/tex]

[tex]S^2 = \frac{0.0470383}{ 5 -1 }[/tex]  =   0.01175056

s = [tex]\sqrt{0.01175056}[/tex] = 0.1084

C) coefficient of variation

coefficient of variation = standard deviation / mean

                                      = 0.1084 / 0.2413 = 0.4494

Keyser Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 118 Units in beginning inventory 400 Units produced 2,100 Units sold 2,300 Units in ending inventory 200 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 37 Direct labor $ 23 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 5 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 73,500 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 29,900 The company produces the same number of units every month, although the sales in units vary from month to month. The company's variable costs per unit and total fixed costs have been constant from month to month. What is the net operating income for the month under variable costing?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price $118

Units sold 2,300

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $37

Direct labor $23

Variable manufacturing overhead $3

Variable selling and administrative expense $5

First, we need to determine the total unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 37 + 23 + 3 + 5=$68

Variable cost income statement:

Sales= 2,300*118= 271,400

Total variable cost= 68*2,300= (156,400)

Total contribution margin= 115,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (73,500)

Fixed selling and administrative expense= (29,900)

Net operating income= 11,600

The risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 13%. a. Calculate the required rate of return on a security with a beta of 1.25.

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return is r = 0.1475 or 14.75%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

r = 0.06 + 1.25 * (0.13 - 0.06)

r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
