Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 15,000 units and wants a target profit of $22 per unit. Additional information is as follows:
Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit 11
Total fixed overhead 13,500
Total fixed administrative 21,000
Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used?
Answer:
81%
Explanation:
Calculation for the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used
Using this formula
Markup percentage=[(Target profit + Fixed overhead costs + Fixed administrative costs) / Total variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Markup percentage=[($22*15,000 units)+$13,500+$21,000]/$30×15,000)
Markup percentage=($330,000+$13,500+$21,000)/$450,000
Markup percentage=$364,500/$450,000
Markup percentage=0.81*100
Markup percentage=81%
Calculation for Total variable costs
Variable product cost per unit $19
Variable administrative cost per unit $11
Total variable costs =$30
Therefore the markup percentage to variable cost that should be used will be 81%

The firm has a target debt-equity (D/E) ratio of 0.76. Its cost of equity is 15.3 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 9 percent. What is the WACC given a tax rate of 21 percent
Answer:
11.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)+ (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.76 ÷ 1.76 × 9%) × ( 1 - 21%) + (1 ÷ 1.76 × 15.3%)
= 3.07% + 8.69%
= 11.76%
Hence, the WACC is 11.76%
We simply multiplied the weight of capital stucture with its cost

Answer:
Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:
Book Value Fair Value
Current assets $ 28,700 $ 22,300
Property, plant, and equipment 47,800 52,600
Other assets 3,500 5,800
Current liabilities 15,100 14,900
Long-term liabilities 29,000 21,400
The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:
Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.
Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.
For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:
Particular Fair Value ($)
Current assets 22,300
Property, plant, and equipment 52,600
Other assets 5,800
Current liabilities (14,900)
Long-term liabilities (21,400)
Fair value of net asset 44,400
Therefore, we have:
Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset = $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900
Firm J has net income of $77,605, sales of $935,000, and average total assets of $467,500. Required: Calculate Firm J’s margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI).
Answer:
Firm J's margin= 8.3%
Firm J's turnover= 2
Firm J's ROI= 16.6%
Explanation:
Form J has a net income of $77,605
The sales is $935,000
The average total assets is $467,500
Firm J's margin can be calculated as follows
Margin= Net income/sales
= $77,605/$935,000
= 0.083×100
= 8.3%
Firm J's turnover can be calculated as follows
Turnover= Sales/Average Total assets
= $935,000/$467,500
= 2
Firm J's return on investment can be calculated as follows
ROI= Net income/Average Total assets
= $77,605/$467,500
= 0.166×100
= 16.6%
Hence Firm J's margin, turnover and return on investment is 8.3%, 2 and 16.6% respectively.

A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is:_______
Answer:
Out the money.
Explanation:
A PHLX Jan 80 Swiss Franc Call contract is quoted at 2 when the Swiss Franc closes at 77. The contract is out the money.
An out the money ultimately implies that an option only has an extrinsic value but no intrinsic value. The extrinsic value of an option refers to the difference between its intrinsic value and the market value (premium). An extrinsic value is affected by the volatility in the market and its time value. The intrinsic value of an asset refers to the calculated, true or real value of an asset and is solely affected by internal factors.
A call is out the money when the strike price is greater than or above the underlying price of an asset. This simply means that, it's market value (price) has fallen below its strike price.
In this scenario, the market price of the call is 77 while its strike price is 80; thus, the call option is out the money by 3.

Answer:
Pattison Corporation
Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:
$1,500 Favorable
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Fixed Element Variable Element per
per Month Customer Served
Revenue $5,500
Employee salaries
and wages $46,300 $1,000
Travel expenses $ 500
Other expenses $32,500
The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost
= $8,500 - $10,000
= $1,500 Favorable
Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)
= $8,500
Budgeted travel expenses = ($500 x 20)
= $10,000
Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses. The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.

Discuss three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union. Discuss the five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization g
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union.
1. Greater Bargaining Power
As an individual employee, it can be difficult to negotiate for wage increase or better working condition generally. However, being a member Union, together the group can negotiate and demand for what they feel is right for their members. In a rare occasion, the threat of a strike by a Union is a great tool to bargain well with the employer.
2. Minimize Discrimination
As a Union, it is easier to demand for equality in terms of wage, working condition, promotion, leave etc. Unlike individual employee, who may be facing discrimination from his or her supervisor as to employee related issue. Union can ensure the management used the right policies that seek for equality among all its employees without favoritism or discrimination.
3. Sense of Security
An employee may join the Union on the basis that, Union can save them against abrupt dismissal or other types of work insecurities including accident, injury, illness etc.
Also, Union can help secure retirement benefits and ensure the management improve on the employees' welfare generally.
Five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization
1. Irrelevance appearance of the Union:
Many workers believe that Union is not necessary because in the time of economic boom, getting wage increase and other working benefits can be gotten be individual employee and not necessarily through a Union, and at the same time, during economic downturn, unions often times don't have the capacity to protect their members from layoffs, wage and benefit reductions and tougher working conditions.
2. Poor Image of the Union:
Many employers and employees tend to view union with negativity, in the sense that, often times, their demands can be unreasonable, and are characterized by issue of labor racketeering, mob influence and embezzlement.
3. Unions are Seen as Political:
For some employees, they believe that Union tend to use their money or Union dues to support a political candidate. This in turn has made some employees who are neutral, not wanting to join the Union.
4. Reliance on goverment:
Many employees now believe that, government, not Union gives better form of security and voice to air their opinions. These includes pensions, healthcare, protection.
5. Global competition and deregulation in Unionized industries:
Since most of the companies or industries that have union has been deregulated, this has increased its competition, there by, making the need for union not really necessary, because with or without Union, one may still faces sack.
A company has reported operating income of $25,000,000. The bond interest expense for the year is $4,000,000 and principal payments on bonds totaled $1,000,000. The company's debt service coverage ratio is:
Answer:
The company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.
Explanation:
The debt service coverage ratio refers to the financial ratio that give a measure of the ability of a company to meet its current debts obligation.
The debt service coverage ratio therefore compares the operating income of the company with the company's total debt service obligations.
The total service obligation includes the current interest, principal repayment, and any other debt obligations.
The formula for calculating the debt service coverage ratio is given as follows:
Debt service coverage ratio = Operating income / Total debt service costs
Form the question, we have:
Operating income = $25,000,000
Total debt service costs = Interest expense + Principal payments on bonds = $4,000,000 + $1,000,000 = $5,000,000
Substituting the values into the formula, we have:
Debt service coverage ratio = $25,000,000 / $5,000,000 = 5
Therefore, the company's debt service coverage ratio is 5.
Since this is greater than 1, this iimplies that operating profits made by the company is more than enough to pay its current debt service costs.
There is a 3 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ c. Should an inspector be hired based on costs alone? Yes No
Answer:
1a. $2.67 cost per unit
1b. $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Yes
Explanation:
1a. Calculation for what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired
The following details were given in the question.
Defective average =3/100= 0.03
inspection rate = 30 per hour
Cost of inspector = 8 per hour
Correction cost = $10 each
Using this formula
Hired inspector =Cost per hour/Current production rate per hour
Let plug in the formula
Hired inspector=8 per hour/30 rate per hour
Hired inspector =0.267×100
Hired inspector=$2.67 cost per unit
1b. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired
Using this Formula
No inspector=Defect rate %/Cost per defective
Let plug in the formula
No inspector= 3/100×$10
No inspector= $0.3 cost per unit
1c. Based on the above calculation the inspector should be hired.

b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD).
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that M1 will be derived as Currency plus the Travelers check while M2 will be M1 plus the certificate of deposit plus the money market account.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
It should be noted that money in a savings account will have to be included in M2.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
This fits into the description of both M1 and M2 forms of money.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD)
The certificate of deposit is included in the M2.
Answer:
Option A is M2
Option B is M1
Option C is M2
Explanation:
The above classifications speak to various categories of money supply.
M1 refers to the supply of money that is composed of physical currency such as notes, coins, demand deposits other checkable deposits, etc.
Simply put, M1 would include forms of money that are liquid or easy to convert into cash.
M2 and M3 which are also known as "near money" and "near, near money," are money types which cannot be converted to currency as quickly as M1.
Another example of M2 is Money Market Mutual Funds. M1 is often included when calculating for M2.

True or false: At 2019 year-end, a government has $25,000 of outstanding encumbrances. The 2019 Budgetary Comparison Scheduled will include the $25,000 whether or not the encumbrances lapse at year-end.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The 2019 Budgetary Comparison Schedule will include the $25,000 whether or not the encumbrances lapse at the year-end, either as outstanding encumbrances or settled encumbrances. These $25,000 encumbrances are budget reservations of appropriations so that they can be used to settle specified expenditures in the future. The purpose of making these reservations is to signal that the expenditures have been earmarked so that their cash allocations are not used for other purposes.

Explanation:
Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $90 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs CNY 105 in China.
Holding constant the cost of the basket in each country, compute the real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates in the following table.
Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) Nominal Exchange Rate (Yuan per dollar) Real Exchange Rate (Baskets of Chinese goods per basket of U.S goods)
90 105 7.00
90 105 10.50
Answer:
The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:
For the first row in the table RER is 6.
For the second row in the table RER is 9.
Note: See the attached excel file for the table.
Explanation:
Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.
The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.
RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:
RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Where, from the question;
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
For the first row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
For the second row in the table:
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9
The real exchange rates that should lead from the two nominal exchange rates should be 6 and 9.
Calculation of the real exchange rate:RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)
Here,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)
So,
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
Now
RER = (7 * 90) / 105
RER = 630 / 105
RER = 6
Now
e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50
P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars) = $90
P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105
So,
RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105
RER = 945 / 105
RER = 9

B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''
Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]
Total cost = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)
Total cost = 720 + 720 + 21600
Total cost = $ 23040
If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700
Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700
Total cost = $22545.6
If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96) + 19800
Total cost = 3000 + 172.8 + 19800
Total cost = $22972.8
From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000
So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order
the number of orders per year = 18000/5000
the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year

b.
Determine which location alternative (A, B, or C) should be chosen on the basis of maximum composite score.
B
C
A
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of composite score for each location is shown below:-
Composite score for A is
= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90
= 88.05
Composite score for B is
= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96
= 90.91
Composite score for C is
= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95
= 87.90
Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C
b. The maximum composite score from A, B and C is B
Given the following information. Which of the statements below can you support with this information?
Maximum capacity (labor hours): 480 hours per week
Effective capacity ratio: 85 %
Actual time worked: 380 hours per week over the last two weeks
On-time delivery %: 75 percent of the jobs are being completed on time
a. More capacity needs to be added in the short term to improve performance in the system.
b. We need to look at variability in the rate at which jobs enter the shop.
c. Our workforce is not working hard enough.
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.
Answer:
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Explanation:
There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:
we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facilityIf we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:
only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.
Suppose that in 1969, the U.S. economy was operating close to potential. The budget deficit experienced by the United States in 1969 was:
Answer: primarily cyclical deficit
Explanation:
Budget deficit occurs when the government expenditure for a certain year is more than the revenue the government makes.
Since the the United States economy was operating close to potential. The budget deficit experienced by the United States in 1969 was primarily cyclical deficit.
Harvey’s Hardware is thinking about starting a line of lawnmowers to serve its customer base in the summer. The lawnmowers would be priced at $100 and Harvey the manager believes that they would sell 3 units. They have the following estimated costs.
Units Produced Labor Cost Total cost
0 0 100
1 50 150
2 100 200
3 200 300
4 350 450
What is the marginal cost of producing the third unit?
a. $400
b. $300
c. $200
d. $100
Answer:
Harvey's Hardware
Marginal cost of producing the third lawnmowers:
d. $100
Explanation:
Harvey's marginal cost for producing the third unit of lawnmowers is the additional cost that resulted when the total cost increased from $200 to $300. However, it can be deciphered from the case that the marginal cost for Harvey, which it is supposed to be a variable cost, is traceable to the direct labor costs. This implies that the fixed cost element for Harvey in the production of the lawnmowers has been relatively fixed at $100. It does not vary with the volume of production, while the direct labor costs vary with the volume of lawnmowers produced by Harvey.
Each year, public schools are rewarded with bigger budgets for achieving a rating of "excellent" or "recommended" and are punished for rating "needs improvement." These ratings are based on meeting thresholds on a broad set of measures such as attendance rates, graduation rates, standardized test scores, SAT scores, and so on. True or False: This funding structure incentivizes schools to seek out and serve lower-performing students. True False
Answer:
Each year, public schools are rewarded with bigger budgets for achieving a rating of "excellent" or "recommended" and are punished for rating "needs improvement." These ratings are based on meeting thresholds on a broad set of measures such as attendance rates, graduation rates, standardized test scores, SAT scores, and so on. True or False
This funding structure incentivizes schools to seek out and serve lower-performing students. True False
Explanation:
The funding structure is meant to encourage public schools for improved performance in all the performance measures. These performance measures are the means to judge whether proper application is being achieved with the funds provided by the government to such schools. They also encourage healthy competition among public schools when followed judiciously. Since they have some internal and external benchmarks, the performance measures are like a balanced scorecard for performance evaluation.
A 12-year, 5% coupon bond pays interest annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000.__________ Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. % is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the yield to maturity rises to 6% from the current yield to maturity of 4.5%
Answer:
12.38% decrease
Explanation:
Given the following parameters
6%
Number of years = 12
Market yield I= 6 === 4.5
Present Value = 916.16 == 1045.59
PMT (annuity payment) = 50 (5%x1000)
Future value = 1000
Therefore, to solve for the percentage change, we have in the price of this bond in this situation, we have (916.16-1045.59) / 1045.59 = -0.1238
Hence, 12.38% decrease is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield rises to 6% from the current yield of 4.5%,
The percentage change in the price of this bond will be -12.38%.
The price of the bond at 4.5% is calculated thus:
Yield to maturity = 4.50%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 4.5% = $1045.59The price of the bond at 6.0% is calculated thus:
Yield to maturity = 6.00%Years left to maturity = 12Annual coupon rate = 5%Face value = $1000.Annual coupon payment = $50Price of the bond at 6.0% = $916.16The percentage change in price will be:
= (916.16 - 1045.59) / 1045.59
= -12.38%
