The GoT cups are a fast seller and you need to ensure that you have enough rolls of paper to fulfill demand. The first stage in the process is to determine the total cost of the current inventory ordering model. Given the following information, how many rolls should they order to minimize costs?H: $1.75 per unitD: 500 rolls per monthQ: 100 units ordered at a timeS: $25 per order
Answer:
EOQ = 414 rolls
Explanation:
In order to calculate the number of orders to minimize the cost, we should calculate that by using the Economic order quantity model.
DATA
Holding cost = $1.75/unit
Annual demand = 500 rolls x 12 = 6000 rolls
Ordering cost = $25
Formula
EOQ =[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2Cod}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = ordering cost
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost
Solution
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2(6000)(25)}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{300000}{1.75} }[/tex]
EOQ = 414 rolls
They should order 414 rolls to minimize the cost.
Answer:
119 units
Explanation:
The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The ordering cost is $25 per order. Holding cost is $1.75 per unit. The total demand is 500 units per month. The economic order quantity that will minimize the cost of the GoT cups is
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*Demand*ordering cost}{Holding cost} }[/tex]
EOQ is 119 units.
Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is a. increasing at an increasing rate. b. increasing at a decreasing rate. c. increasing at a constant rate. d. decreasing.
The question is incomplete:
If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.
Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
b. increasing at a decreasing rate.
c. increasing at a constant rate.
d. decreasing.
Answer:
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
Explanation:
To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.
You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.
Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock, and 36% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of debt of 8.2%, and its cost of preferred stock is 9.3%. If Turnbull can raise all of its equity capital from retained earnings, its cost of common equity will be 12.4%. However, if it is necessary to raise new common equity, it will carry a cost of 14.2%. If its current tax rate is 40%, how much higher will Turnbull’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) be if it has to raise additional common equity capital by issuing new common stock instead of raising the funds through retained earnings? (Note: Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Turnbull's weighted average cost of capital will be higher by 0.65% if it has to raise additional common equity capital.
Explanation:
By combining the WACC formula and retained earnings cost of capital,we will arrive at;
WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + Preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × Cost of capital
= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 12.4%
= 2.85% + 0.56% + 4.46%
= 7.87%
Also, using the same WACC formula and using common equity cost of capital, , we will arrive at the below;
WACC = Debt W × after tax cost of debt + preferred stock weight × cost of capital + Equity W × cost of capital
= 58% × 4.92% + 6% × 9.3% + 36% × 14.2%
= 2.85% + 0.56% + 5.11%
= 8.52%
Therefore, increase cost using common equity over retained earnings is [ 8.52% - 7.87%]
= 0.65%
N.B we arrived at 4.92% for after tax by;
Pre tax 8.2%
Current tax rate 40%
= Pre tax × ( 1 - cost of debt)
= 8.2% × ( 1 - 40%)
= 8.2% × 0.6%
= 4.92%
Why do we need to deduct gain on sale of plant assets from net income to arrive at net cash flow from operating activities
Answer:
The money received from the sale of assets is included in the net cash flows from investing activities, that is why you must adjust net income by eliminating any gain or loss resulting from these transactions.
Explanation:
E.g. net income = $50,000, and it includes a gain of $5,000 resulting from the sale of a truck. The truck had a book value of $15,000, but was sold at $20,000.
Net cash flows from operating activities:
Net income $50,000
Adjustments to net income:
- Gain on sale of asset ($5,000)
Net cash flow provided by operating activities $45,000
Net cash flows from investing activities:
Sale of truck $20,000
Net cash flow provided by investing activities $20,000

Suppose a period of continuous political instability leads to people to believe that the economy will slide into a deep recession. As a result, people become more likely to accept ________ money in exchange for goods and services.
A. Flat
B. Commodity
U.S. Dollars are an example of _____ money.
A. Flat
B. Commodity
Answer:
The answer is:
1. Commodity
2. Fiat
Explanation:
We have two questions here.
First, the answer is commodity money. Commodity money is the type of money whose value are tied to the commodity it is made up of. This is used as a medium of exchange when the value of money falls totally (during inflation or hyperinflation.) Examples of commodity money can be gold, cocoa,copper etc.
Second question. The answer is fiat money. Fiat money is the currency issued by the national government of a country through The Fed(in US) or Central banks (in most countries).
The fiat money in US is the US dollar, for Nigeria is Nigerian naira etc. It is a legal tender in those countries.
Identify which of the factors below are better short-range predictors and which are better long-range predictors of movements in foreign exchange rates.a. Relative monetary growthb. Relative inflation ratesc. Nominal interest rate differentialsd. Psychological effectse. Investor expectationsf. Bandwagon effects
Answer:
Short range predictors:
c. Nominal interest rate differential
d. Psychological effects
e. Investor expectations
f. Bandwagon effect
Long range predictors:
a. Relative monetary growth
b. Relative inflation rates
Explanation:
Nominal rate, the real rate, and inflation. long term predictors of an economic theory in which a relationship between inflation, nominal interest rate and real interest rate is identified. It defines that real interest rate is equal to inflation minus nominal interest rate.
Bandwagon effect is a short range predictor because it is effect of uptake when people follow others. They take decisions what other do and its their belief that other people have taken the right decision so we too. This is just a short term hop based on beliefs regardless of any underlying evidence.
You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.4 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.29 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 10.6 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock?
Answer: $50.83
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:
r = required return = 10.6% = 0.106
D0 = Dividend = 3.29
g = growth rate = 4.4% = 0.044
The price per share of the company's stock will be:
= D0(1 + g)/(r - g)
= 3.29(1 + 0.044)/(0.106 - 0.044)
= 3.29(1.044)/(0.062)
= 3.15134/0.062
= $50.83

Harver company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 58000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 58000 units of RX5 for 18.50 per unit. determine the total incremental cost making 58000 units of Rx5. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 58000 units of RX5. Should the company make or buy RX%
Answer:
Decision = Make
Explanation:
The incremental cost to buy and the incremental cost to make can be calculated as follows
DATA
Direct material = $4 (100% variable)
Direct labor = $8 (100% variable)
Overhead = $9 ( 70% fixed)
Total cost per unit = $21
Offered price = $18.5 per unit
Total units = 58,000
Solution
Incremental cost of making
Direct material ( 58,000 x $4) = $232,000
Direct labor (58,000 x $8) = $464,000
Overhead ( 58,000 x $9 x 30%) = $156,600
Total cost = $825,600
Incremental cost of buying
Total cost = No. of units x offered price
Total cost = 58,000 x $18.5
Total cost = $1,073,000
Decision: The company should make the product as the total cost to buy is $247,400 higher than the cost to make.
if average demand for invenrory item is 200 units per day lead time is three days and safety stock is 1-- units the reorder point is
please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both
Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units
when safety stock =100, Reorder point= 700 units
Explanation:
Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the point of inventoryset by a busness in which it replenishes its stock of items.
given:
Average demand= 200
lead time = 3
when safety stock =1
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +1 = 601 units
when safety stock = 100
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units
e. Assume that the average price of a new home is $132,500. If new homes are increasing at a rate of 8% per year, how much will a new home cost in seven years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
A new home will cost $227081.72 in seven years.
Explanation:
To calculate the value or price of the new home in seven years, we need to calculate the future value of $132500 increasing at a rate of 8% per year for 7 years. The formula to calculate the future value will be,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the rate which will be used for compoundingt is the time in number of yearsFuture value = 132500 * (1+0.08)^7
Future value = $227081.7156 rounded off to $227081.72
A registered representative ("rr") is an MFP of a municipal securities firm that is an underwriter for that municipal issuer. The MFP volunteers his time to the election campaign of a candidate for mayor of the issuer by offering to host a reception. The "rr," who is entitled to vote in the election, does not make a contribution to the elected official’s campaign, but does pay $300 of "out of pocket" expenses for the cost of the reception. Which statement is TRUE?
Answer:
The $300 of out of pocket expense exceeds the MSRB political contribution limit and will result in the municipal securities firm being banned as an underwriter for that issuer for 2 years.
Explanation:
The municipal securities firm is is underwriter for municipal issuer. The volunteers have paid $300 out of pocket but they are not entitled to make contribution to the campaign. This will result the firm being banned for two years as an underwriter for the issuer.
As the assistant to the CFO of Johnstone Inc., you must estimate its cost of common equity. You have been provided with the following data: D 0 = $0.80; P 0 = $22.50; and g = 8.00% (constant). Based on the DCF approach, what is the cost of common from reinvested earnings?
Answer:
The cost of common equity from reinvested earnings is 11.84%
Explanation:
The constant growth model of DDM or DCF approach is used to calculate the price of a stock today whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate forever. The model values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends form the stock.
The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price todayD0 is the dividend todayr is the cost of equityg is the growth rate in dividendsPlugging in the available values for all the variables, we can calculate the r or cost of common equity to be,
22.5 = 0.8 * (1+0.08) / (r - 0.08)
22.5 * (r - 0.08) = 0.864
22.5r - 1.8 = 0.864
22.5r = 0.864 + 1.8
r = 2.664 / 22.5
r = 0.1184 or 11.84%
Suppose that the residents of Vegi-Topia spend all of their income on cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. In 2013, they buy 50 heads of cauliflower for $2 each, 60 bunches of broccoli for $1.5 each, and 200 carrots for $0.10. In 2014, they buy 75 heads of cauliflower for $2 each, 70 bunches of broccoli for $1.50 each, and 500 carrots for $0.20 each. In 2015, they buy 80 heads of cauliflower for $3, 90 bunches of broccoli for $2, and 500 carrots for $0.25 each. If the base year is 2015, what is the inflation for 2014
Answer:
Inflation for 2014 is 11%
Explanation:
Inflation refers to a quantitative measure of the rate of an increase in the average price level of a selected basket of commodities in an economy over a specified period of time.
The inflation rate for 2014 can be calculated as follows:
Since 2015 is the base year, the it implies that the basket we are going to use contains 80 heads of cauliflower, 90 bunches of broccoli, and 500 carrots.
Therefore, cost of basket for each year can be determined as follows:
2013 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2014 * Quantity in 2015) = ($2 * 80) + ($1.50 * 50) + ($0.10 * 500) = $285
2014 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2014 * Quantity in 2015) = ($2 * 80) + ($1.50 * 50) + ($0.20 * 500) = $335
2015 cost of basket = ∑(Unit price in 2015 * Quantity in 2015) = ($3 * 80) + ($2 * 50) + ($0.25 * 500) = $465
The CPI for each year can be determined using the following for formula:
CPI of a year = Current period cost of basket / Base year cost of basket …………… (1)
As 2015 is the base year, using equation (1), we have:
2013 CPI = (2013 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $285 / $465 = 0.61 * 100 = 61
2014 CPI = (2014 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $335 / $465 = 0.72 * 100 = 72
2015 CPI = (2015 cost of basket / 2015 cost of basket) * 100 = $465 / $465 = 1 * 100 = 100
The inflation for a year can be determined as follows:
Inflation = (CPI in the current year - CPI in previous year) / CPI in the base year ..................... (2)
Using equation (2), we have:
Inflation for 2014 = (CPI in 2014 - CPI in 2013) / CPI in 2015 = (72 - 61) / 100 = 11 / 100 = 0.11, or 11%
Maxwell Feed & Seed is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's IRR? Note that a project's projected IRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.
Answer:
13.31%
Explanation:
some information is missing:
Year Cash flows
0 −$1,100
1 $450
2 $470
3 $490
the easiest way to calculate the IRR is by using a financial calculator, IRR = 13.31%
but if we don't have one at hand, the IRR is the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
1,100 = 450/(1 + r) + 470/(1 + r)² + 490/(1 + r)³
to simplify the formula we must use trial and error:
since we already know the real IRR, I will start with a close number like 10%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.1) + 470/(1 + 0.1)² + 490/(1 + 0.1)³
1,100 = 409.09 + 388.43 + 368.14
1,100 ≠ 1,165.66
since the NPV is still positive, we must increase the discount rate. following the example we can use 12%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.12) + 470/(1 + 0.12)² + 490/(1 + 0.12)³
1,100 = 401.79 + 374.68 + 348.77
1,100 ≠ 1,125.24
we must increase the discount rate even more to 13%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.13) + 470/(1 + 0.13)² + 490/(1 + 0.13)³
1,100 = 398.23 + 368.08 + 339.59
1,100 ≠ 1,105.90
we keep increasing the discount rate to 14%
1,100 = 450/(1 + 0.14) + 470/(1 + 0.14)² + 490/(1 + 0.14)³
1,100 = 394.74 + 361.65 + 330.74
1,100 ≠ 1,087.13
since now the NPV is negative, the discount rate must be between 13-14%
we continue this way until we finally reach 13.31%
Compare and contrast the following forms of business organization: sole proprietorship,general partnership,limited liability company,and corporation as to ease of formation,liability of owners,management,and tax implications.
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
1. Sole Proprietorship is owned by a single person or a married couple.
a. Ease of formation: This business is very easy to form because owners are not required to have legal documentation for the business to begin operation.
b. Liability of Owners: Owners are personally liable for the success or failure of the business. This means that they bear the cost of whatever debt or losses that are incurred in the business and can be sued for it.
c. Management: The owner makes all the management decisions that could affect the business. He sets the time when his business can be run as well as the prices for his products.
d. Tax Implications: They fill out Schedule C where they calculate the profit and loss from their business. They declare their income in Standard Form 1040 and they are subject to Self-employment tax.
2. General Partnership is a business agreement between to or more owners.
a. Ease of Formation: It is quite easy to start this business because little or no legal documentation is required to kick-start the business.
b. Liability: All partners are liable for debts and losses incurred in the business.
c. Management Decisions: The management decisions are made by the general partners. This affords them a measure of flexibility.
d. Tax implications: Income tax is not paid rather, a separate tax return form is filed.
3. Limited Liability Company: These business entities are run by two or more business partners.
a. Ease of Formation: It is relatively easy to form because it is governed by state rules and regulations which must be adhered to by the business owners.
b. Liability: There is a limited liability as just the business assets can be withheld when there is a legal battle. Personal assets of partners can not be withheld.
c. Management Decisions: There could be a member-managed LLC where members make decisions in the business or a manager-managed LLC one or two non-members are employed to manage the business and make business decisions therein.
d. Taxation: Taxation is done once and profits realized are passed through to the personal income taxes of the members.
4. Corporations are set up by a group of businesspeople.
a. Ease of Formation: They are not easy to form as proper documentation which is governed by state laws must be adhered to.
b. Liability: There is a limited liability as shareholders are not held accountable for the debts and losses of the corporation.
c. Management: There are directors of the corporation who are elected by the shareholders, They make decisions for the corporation. Business officers are also appointed.
d. Tax Implications: There are lots of taxation requirements for which the corporation might seek advice from a taxation advisor to prevent double taxation.

A publishing company sells 1,250,000 copies of certain books each year. It costs the company $1 to store each book for a year. Each time it must print additional copies, it costs the company $250 to set up the presses. How many books should the company produce during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs
Answer:
The Company should produce 25,000 books
Explanation:
The production size that minimizes total storage and setup costs is known as the optimum batch size.
Optimum batch size = √(2 × Annual Production Demand × Set up Cost) / Storage Cost per unit
= √ (2 × 1,250,000 × $250) / $1
= 25,000 books
Conclusion :
The Company should produce 25,000 books during each printing in order to minimize its total storage and setup costs.
Regulations that permit a regulated firm to cover its costs and to make a normal level of profit are commonly referred to as
Answer:
cost plus regulation
Explanation:
Cost plus regulation is generally used by the government to regulate monopolies (mainly natural monopolies like utilities, and others). The price that the monopoly can charge for its goods or services is set by the government and it should generally cover all of the company's costs plus allow it to make a "normal" profit.
On the statement of cash flows, the cash flows from operating activities section would include a. receipts from the issuance of common stock b. payments for cash dividends c. payment for interest on short-term notes payable d. payments for the purchase of investments
Answer:
c. payment for interest on short-term notes payable
Explanation:
Cash flow statement shows positive and negative cash flows that result from activities of a business. It is divided into 3 parts: cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from investing activities, cash flow from financing activities.
Cash flows form operations involves cash flows from regular business activities. A positive change in assets represents an outflow and a negative change in liability represents an inflow.
Items considered under operating activities include inventory, accounts receivable, accrued revenue, accounts payable, and tax liabilities.
Payment for interest on short-term notes payable is a account payable item, so it is included in cash flow from operations

A security company offers to provide CCTV coverage for a parking garage for ten years for an initial payment of $45,000 and additional payments of $25,000 per year. What is the equivalent annual annuity of this deal, given a cost of capital of 4%?
Answer:
Equivalent Annual Annuity =$30,548.09
Explanation:
The equivalent annuity is the annual cash cash flows that is the same in value to the present value of the total cost associated with providing the CCTV coverage.
Equivalent Annual Annuity = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor
To determine the total prsent value of cost associated with CCTV would sum the present value of the additional payment for 10 years and the initial cost.
Initial cost - 45,000
Additional payment = 25,000
PV of additional payment = A× 1-(1+r)^(-n)/r
= 25,000 × 1- 1.04^(-10)/0.04 = 202,772.39
Total PV of cost = 202,772.39 + 45,000 = 247,772.39
Total PV of cost = 247,772.39
Equivalent Annual Annuity = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 1-(1+r)^(-n)/r = ( 1- 1.04^(-10)/0.04) = 8.1109
Equivalent Annual Annuity =247,772.39 /8.1109 = 30,548.09
Equivalent Annual Annuity =$30,548.09
Sanders, a 62-year-old single individual, sold his principal residence for the net amount of $500,000 after all selling expenses. Sanders bought the house 15 years ago and has occupied it until it sold. On the date of sale, the house had a cost basis of $200,000. Within six months, Sanders purchased a new house for $600,000. What amount of gain should Sanders recognize from the sale of the residence g
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
Recognized gain can be calculated by deducting the exclusion available from the realized gain. To qualify for exclusion from the realized gain Sanders has met all the requirements of exclusion.
NOTE: Requirments for exclusion are given at the end of solution
DATA
Sale proceeds = $500,000
Cost basis = $200,000
exclusion available for single person = $250,000
Gain =?
Calculation
Realized gain on sale of home = Sale proceeds – Cost basis
Realized gain on sale of home = $500,000 - $200,000
Realized gain on sale of home = $300,000
Recognized gain = Realized gain - exclusion available
Recognized gain = $300,000 - $250,000
Recognized gain = $50,000
Requirements for exclusion
1. You've owned the home for two of the last five years.
2. You used the home as your principal residence for two of the last five years.
3. You haven't used the exclusion on another property sale within the last two years.

Nominal GDP less percent change in price levels equals to real GDP
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices
Real GDP is GDP using base year prices. it has been adjusted for inflation.
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 15 % 32 % Bond fund (B) 9 % 23 % The correlation between the fund returns is 0.15. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL?
Answer:
0.296875
Explanation:
Given the following :
Probability distribution of risky funds :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)
Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%
Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%
Correlation between funds return = 0.15
Sure rate = 5.5%
To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment
For the stock fund :
Expected return = 15%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 32%
Sharpe ratio of stock fund :
(15% - 5.5%) / 32%
= 9.5% / 32%
= 0.296875
For Bond fund :
Expected return = 9%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 23%
Sharpe ratio of bond fund :
(9% - 5.5%) / 23%
= 3.5% / 23%
= 0.1521739
Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875
Abby had a checkbook balance of $1,002.45. She paid $76.98 to the electric company and $254.34 to the water company. What is Abby’s current checkbook balance?
Answer:
$671.13
Explanation:
Abby had a checkbook balance of $1,002.45
$76.98 was paid to the electric company
$254.34 was paid to the water company
Therefore the current checkbook balance can be calculated as follows
=$1,002.45-($76.98+$254.34)
= $1,002.45-$331.32
= $671.13
Hence Abby's current checkbook balance is $671.13
As assistant to the CFO of Boulder Inc., you must estimate the Year 1 cash flow for a project with the following data:
Sales revenues $13,000
Depreciation $4,000
Other operating costs $6,000
Tax rate 35.0%
What is the Year 1 cash flow?
a. $6,962
b. $5,950
c. $7,438
d. $5,177
e. $7,378
Answer:
$5,950
Explanation:
Boulder incorporation reported the following data for year 1
Sales revenue= $13,000
Depreciation= $4,000
Other operating costs= $6,000
Tax rate= 35%
The first step is to calculate the EBIT
= sales revenue-operating costs-depreciation
= $13,000-$6,000-$4,000
= $3,000
Therefore, the cash flow for year 1 can be calculated as follows
= 3,000×35/100
= 3,000×0.35
= 1,050
= 3,000-1,050
= 1,950
Cash flow= 4,000+1,950
= $5,950
Hence the cash flow for year 1 is $5,950
