Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

                                                     North     West           South

Contribution margin           $300,300 $499,000 $399,200

Controllable margin            $139,700 $360,600 $209,900

Average operating assets    $997,857 $1,567,826 $1,499,286

Minimum rate of return             13%            14%           9%

return on investment (ROI) = controllable margin / average operating assets

North's ROI = $139,700 / $997,857 = 14%

West's ROI = $360,600 / $1,567,826 = 23%

South's ROI = $209,900 / $1,499,286  = 14%

residual income = controllable margin - (average operating assets x minimum rate of return)

North's RI = $139,700 - ($997,857 x 13%) = $9,978.59

West's RI = $360,600 - ($1,567,826 x 14%) = $141,104.36

South's RI = $209,900 - ($1,499,286  x 9%) = $74,964.26

(1) If ROI is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

North and South divisions should probably make the additional investments since their current ROI is less than 16%

(2) If residual income is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

All the divisions since their minimum required rate of return is less than 16%.

Answer 2

The ROI of North, West and South are 14%, 23% and 14% respectively. North and south divisions need to make more investment as their ROI is less than 16%. All the division need to make investments.

What is ROI?

Return on Investment is the performance measure to evaluate the earnings or profit earned from an investment.It is the ration between the net profit/loss to the initial investment made.

                                              North          West            South

Given:

Contribution margin=          $300,300   $499,000   $399,200

Controllable margin=           $139,700   $360,600    $209,900

Average operating assets=  $997,857  $1,567,826   $1,499,286

Minimum rate of return=             13%            14%           9%

Return on Investment= (controllable margin/ average operating assets) X 100

North=  ($139,700 / $997,857) X 100= 14%West = ($360,600 / $1,567,826) X 100= 23%         South= ($209,900 / $1,499,286) X 100 = 14%

Residual Income= controllable margin - (average operating assets x minimum rate of return)

North = $139,700 - ($997,857 x 13%) = $9,978.59West = $360,600 - ($1,567,826 x 14%) = $141,104.36South= $209,900 - ($1,499,286  x 9%) = $74,964.26

North and South divisions are required to make the additional investments since their current ROI is less than 16%If residual income is used to measure performance, all the divisions requires additional investment, as their minimum required rate of return is less than 16%.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable overhead 0.2 hours $ 5.10 per hour

The company used 1,660 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $7,802.

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Answers

Answer:

$15.66 per carton

Explanation:

118,000 cartons of machine screws

equipment cost $785,000

depreciation per year = $785,000 / 5 = $157,000

fixed manufacturing costs $415,000 per year

variable costs per carton = $10.05 x 118,000 = $1,185,900

initial investment in net working capital $68,000

tax rate 24%

discount rate 12%

price per carton?

initial investment = -$853,000

CF₁ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₂ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₃ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₄ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 = 0.76R - $1,178,320

CF₅ = [(R - $1,600,000 - $157,000) x 0.76] + $157,000 + $68,000 = 0.76R + $1,110,320

$853,000 = (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12 + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12² + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12³ + (0.76R - $1,178,320) / 1.12⁴ + (0.76R + $1,110,320 ) / 1.12⁵ = 0.6786R - $1,052,071.43 + 0.6059R - $939,349.49 + 0.541R - $838,704.90 + 0.483R - $748,943.66 + 0.4312R + $630,025.39

$853,000 = 2.7397R - $4,209,094.87

Explanation:

Fixed portion of Miscellaneous expenses = $2,000

Variable portion of Miscellaneous expenses = ($5,300 - $2,000) / $275,000

= $3,300 / $275,000

= $0.012 of sales

Miscellaneous expenses in the Year 2 selling expense budget = (Budgeted sales * Variable portion) + Fixed portion

= ($330,000 * $0.012) + $2,000

=  $3,960 + $2,000

Answer:

1. Previous Year =  $1,820,000, Current Year = $2,550,000

2. Previous Year = 3.80 times , Current Year = 4.40 times

3. Previous Year = 2.70 times,  Current Year = 3.00 times

Explanation:

working capital = current assets - current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 - $650,000

                                                    = $1,820,000

working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 - $750,000

                                                    = $2,550,000

Current ratio = current assets ÷ current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = $2,470,000 ÷ $650,000

                                                    = 3.80 times

working capital (Previous Year) = $3,300,000 ÷ $750,000

                                                    = 4.40 times

Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) ÷ current liabilities

working capital (Previous Year) = ($2,470,000 - 674,100) ÷ $650,000

                                                    = 2.70 times

working capital (Previous Year) = ($3,300,000 - 1,039,500) ÷ $750,000

                                                    = 3.00 times

The cost of equity is 14 percent while the after-tax cost of debt is 6.8 percent. The firm has a beta of 1.48 and a tax rate of 30 percent. What is the weighted average cost of capital?

Answers

Answer:

the weighted average cost of capital is 11.57 % .

Explanation:

Market Value of Equity = Number of Common Shares Outstanding × Market Price per share

                                      = 30,000 shares × $15

                                      = $450,000

Market Value of Debt = Face Value × 82%

                                    = $280,000 × 82%

                                    = $229,600

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (E/V)

           = 14.00 % × ($450,000/ $679,600) + 6.80 %  × ($229,600/ $679,600)

(iii) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 8.50%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.50

(iv) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 10.75%; and Beta of Portfolio = 0.75

(v) Expected of Return of Portfolio = 13%; and Beta of Portfolio = 1.0

b. Change in expected return = 9% increase

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as part b of it is omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Suppose that the S&P 500, with a beta of 1.0, has an expected return of 13% and T-bills provide a risk-free return of 4%.

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

The explanation to the answers are now provided as follows:

a. What would be the expected return and beta of portfolios constructed from these two assets with weights in the S&P 500 of (i) 0; (ii) 0.25; (iii) 0.50; (iv) 0.75; (v) 1.0

To calculate these, we use the following formula:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (WS&P * RS&P) + (WT * RT) ………… (1)

Beta of Portfolio = (WS&P * BS&P) + (WT * BT) ………………..………………. (2)

Where;

WS&P = Weight of S&P = (1) – (1v)

RS&P = Return of S&P = 13%, or 0.13

WT = Weight of T-bills = 1 – WS&P

RT = Return of T-bills = 4%, or 0.04

BS&P = 1.0

BT = 0

After substituting the values into equation (1) & (2), we therefore have:

(i) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0 (i.e. WS&P = 0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0) * 0.04) = 0.04, or 4%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0) * 0) = 0

(ii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.25 (i.e. WS&P = 0.25)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.25 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0.04) = 0.0625, or 6.25%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.25 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.25) * 0) = 0.25

(iii) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.50 (i.e. WS&P = 0.50)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.50 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0.04) = 0.0850, or 8.50%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.50 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.50) * 0) = 0.50

(iv) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 0.75 (i.e. WS&P = 0.75)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (0.75 * 0.13) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0.04) = 0.1075, or 10.75%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (0.75 * 1.0) + ((1 - 0.75) * 0) = 0.75

(v) Expected return and beta of portfolios with weights in the S&P 500 of 1.0 (i.e. WS&P = 1.0)

Using equation (1), we have:

Expected of Return of Portfolio = (1.0 * 0.13) + ((1 – 1.0) * 0.04) = 0.13, or 13%

Using equation (2), we have:

Beta of Portfolio = (1.0 * 1.0) + (1 – 1.0) * 0) = 1.0

b. How does expected return vary with beta? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

There expected return will increase by the percentage of the difference between Expected Return and Risk free rate. That is;

Change in expected return = Expected Return - Risk free rate = 13% - 4% = 9% increase

Answers

Answer: can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income

Explanation:

Imports are the goods that are purchased and brought from another country into one's home country. Restricting imports is a way by which the government helps to protect the industries at home.

It should also be noted that restricting imports will lead to reductions in the United States output and income as other people in other countries might stop purchasing ones products as well and this will affect the income of the United States.

Answer:

C.  can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income.

Explanation:

Import restriction is a measure taken by some countries that want trade protectionism. They do this to limit importation of goods and services from foreign countries. To achieve this they may impose tariffs, quotas, develop policies, or give subsidies to the local producers, all in a bid to limit importation. In the United States, while restricting imports can protect jobs in the protected industries, it would also result to trade wars with other nations.

This is a situation where other countries reciprocate the import restriction. This would eventually result in a reduced Gross domestic product for the country and limited choices for the consumers who will want to settle with cheaper goods. A case is the situation between Japan and the United States

Answers

Answer:

Direct material quantity variance= $6,250 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard:

3 pounds of direct materials at $5 per pound.

10,000 units of product were produced last month and 31,250 pounds of direct materials were used.

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (3*10,000 - 31,250)*5

Direct material quantity variance= $6,250 unfavorable

a. Dangling Modifier:

 

1.

Dangling Modifier:  When beginning the meeting

Best Revision:  2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off

2.

Dangling Modifier :  taking the train into Boston

Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

b. Identifying the dependent clauses:

1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours

3. When he opened the e-mail message

c. Identifying the independent clauses:

2. Meanwhile, the executive assistant printed the agenda.

d. Identifying the sentence with the correct parallel structure:

e. Best option to complete the sentence:

If you _________, you will do well in this corporation.

1. write well, speak well, and use good interpersonal skills

Explanation:

a. A phrase or clause that is not directly related to the word or words it modifies is called a dangling modifier.  Usually, the word a dangling modifier modifies may be absent from the sentence.  An example is "when beginning the meeting."  The word it modifies may be "we" as in "When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off."

b. A clause which cannot make a complete sense or sentence is called a dependent clause.  It requires another clause to make a complete sense.  The clause that makes a complete a complete sentence and can stand alone without another clause is an independent clause.

c. A sentence that has grammatical structure which is balanced is said to have parallelism.  This can also be called parallel structure or construction.  This means that the items listed follow similar pattern that rhyme with one another.  Let us revise the sentence with the wrong parallel structure in this case so as to make it become a parallelism:  "The systems analyst found that we needed upgraded equipment, revised backup processes, and better implemented security measures."  By this revision, the wrong parallel sentence now has a well-structured parallelism.

A dangling modifier is a phrase or sentence that has no direct connection to the word or words it modifies. The correct options for the dangling modifier are When beginning the meeting and taking the train into Boston, and the correct options for the independent clause are Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours, and When he opened the e-mail message.

1.

Dangling Modifier:  When beginning the meeting

Best Revision:  2. When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off

2.

Dangling Modifier:  taking the train into Boston

Best Revision: Taking the train into Boston, Katie reviewed the meeting minutes.

b. Identifying the dependent clauses:

1. Unless he responds to my request in the next 24 hours

3. When he opened the e-mail message.

The term that a dangling modifier usually modifies may not even be present in the phrase.  An illustration might be "when the meeting starts."  The word it modifies can be "we," as in "The fire alarm went off as we were starting the meeting."

A dependent clause is a clause that cannot be used to finish a sentence or make sense on its own.  For it to make sense, another sentence is necessary.  An independent clause is one that can stand alone without the help of another clause and completes a complete sentence.

a) Energy Usage
b) Purchase Price
c) Product Liability Costs
d) Customer Dissatisfaction Costs
e) Warranty Costs

Answers

Answer:

a) Energy Usage

Explanation:

Total cost of ownership (TCO) can be defined as the summation of the purchase price (P) and operating costs (O) of an asset over the asset's lifespan.

Mathematically, it is given by the expression;

Ownership costs incurred after the initial purchase and associated with the ongoing use of the product or material purchased include an energy usage.

Energy refers to the amount or quantity of power which is being consumed by an individual, group of people or organization over a specific period of time. As the consumers continue to use energy, they're being charged or made to pay a utility fee regularly for their amount of consumption, which is usually calculated hourly (kilowatts per hour or kwh).

According to the World Banks's world development indicators, real gross domestic product (GDP) in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015 was about $1.65 trillion . What percentage of sub-Saharan Africa's real GDP is the E.U. emergency trust fund

Answers

Answer:

0.12%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is shown below:-

E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is

= (Amount of Plans ÷ Real gross domestic product) × 100

= (2 billion ÷ 1.65 trillion) × 100

= 0.12%

Therefore for computing the E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP we simply applied the above formula.

Suppose your yearly demand for renting DVDs is Q = 20 − 4P. If there is a rental club that charges $2 per rental plus an annual membership fee, what is the most that you would be willing to pay for the annual membership fee?

Answers

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

If P = $2 then the Q will be;

Q = 20 - 4 * 2

Q = 20 - 8

Q = 12

The maximum annual membership fee will be equal to the amount of demand. The annual membership fee cannot be greater than the demand function if so there will be decline in the demand.

Budgeted fixed overhead is $33,000. Actual production in August was 18,810 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $8.50; direct labor, $9.10; variable overhead, $6.90. Actual fixed overhead was $34,600. The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound. During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.

Required:
Calculate the materials price variance and materials usage variance for August.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual production in August was 18,810 units.

During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.

The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (0.7 - 0.5)*319,770

Direct material price variance= $63,954 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 18,810*11= 206,910

Direct material quantity variance= (206,910 - 319,770)*0.7

Direct material quantity variance= $79,002 unfavorable

If there is a market with the below noted market segmentation, what would the four firm market concentration ratio be?

Distribution of sales: 30%, 3%,10%, 5%,15%, 2%, 35%

a. 10
b. 90
c. 50
d. 40

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

90 (b.)

Explanation:

A concentration ratio is the ratio of the combined market shares percentage held by the largest specified number of firms, compared to the given market size. The concentration ratio ranges from 0% to 100%. If the concentration ratio of an industry ranges from 0% to 50%, that industry is said to be perfectly competitive if the top 5 firms have a concentration ratio of 60% or more, oligopoly is said to occur, and if the competition ratio of one company is 100% it shows monopoly.

In our example, the concentration of the largest four market segments are:

35%, 30%, 15% and 10%

Therefore, the four firm market concentration ratio = 35 + 30 + 15 + 10 = 90    

Answer:

b. 90

Explanation:

The concentration ratio is a term in business that is measured as the total summation of the market share percentage carried by the largest specified number of companies in an industry. The concentration ratio varies between 0% to 100%, and an industry's concentration ratio is considered to demonstrates the extent of competition in the industry.

However, the four-firm concentration ratio is calculated by summing the market shares—that is, the percentage of total sales—of the four largest companies in the given market.

Hence, in this case, we have 35%, 30%, 15% and 10% as the top four largest market share. There by, summation equals => 35+30+15+10 = 90.

Suppose that we have the following information concerning the government's finances and the macroeconomy for a given year: Government Debt: $12 trillion Inflation: 10% Nominal Deficit: $1.5 trillion What is the real deficit for the year

Answers

Answer: $300 billion

Explanation:

The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.

= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)

= 1.5 trillion - ( 10% * 12 trillion)

= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion

= $300 billion

Andrews Corp. ended the year carrying $153,576,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current prices, how much more revenue would it have brought to Andrews Corp.?

Answers

Answer:

$153,576,000

Explanation:

The reason is that the company has sold maximum number of units that it can in the year. If it desires to sell all of its stock then it will have to decrease the cost of the product to increase the demand of the product. The least level of cost that the company can charge will be its finished goods recorded value which is the price at which the company breakevens.

Hence the additional sales would be $153,576,000 which is the carrying worth of inventory.

JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,275 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Answers

Answer:

The amount that will be received when CD matures is $1514.30

Explanation:

To calculate the amount that will be received at the maturity of the CD, we simply need to calculate the future value of the invested amount using annual compounding. The formula for the future value that we will use is,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

r is the rate of interestt is the time in years

Future value = 1275 * (1+0.035)^5

Future value = $1514.30
