PureFruit Inc. prices its products higher than most of its competing brands in the packaged fruit juice industry. However, it still enjoys higher returns than its competitors because it is the only brand that can rightfully claim the use of fresh fruits and no added sugar. What kind of organizational strategy based on competitive advantage does PureFruit most likely use?

Answer: 1.09

Explanation:

The variables given are consistent with the use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to find out the value of the expected return for the stock. The formula is;

Expected Return = Risk free rate + beta ( Market return - risk-free rate)

9.5% = 3.5% + beta ( 9% - 3.5%)

6% = beta * 5.5%

beta = 6%/5.5%

beta = 1.09

Answer:

a lot of information is missing, so I looked for a similar question that can help you understand this one:

Variable costs (including direct labor, direct materials and variable overhead) = $80 per units

Fixed overhead = $150,000

a) If Adamson produces 2,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,000) = $80 + $75 = $155

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $155) = $350,000 - $310,000 = $40,000

b) If Adamson produces 2,500 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 2,500) = $80 + $60 = $140

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $140) = $350,000 - $280,000 = $70,000

c)  If Adamson produces 5,000 units, the total cost per unit = $80 + ($150,000 / 5,000) = $80 + $30 = $110

gross profit = total sales revenue - total cogs = (2,000 x $175) - (2,000 x $110) = $350,000 - $220,000 = $130,000

Answer:

9%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for a project that yields cash flows perpetually, we need to divide the yearly cash flow by the project's initial outlay:

IRR = $2,250,000 / $25,000,000 = 0.09 = 9%

The IRR represents the discount rate at which the project's net present value (NPV) equals 0.

Probability assigned:|

P(x) .10 .40 .40 .10

Answer:

Jane

Price of Groupon for a revenue of $300 is:

$3

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected Sales volume:

Number of Tubes  x   30     60      120     180

Probability P(x)           .10     .40      .40      .10

Expected values          3      24       48       18

Total = 93 tubes

Groupon price = $300/93 = $3.23

b) Jane's price for each Groupon will be the rent revenue per day divided by the expected number of tubes to rent daily.  The expected number of tubes is derived by multiplying each expected number of tubes by its probability and then summing up the results.

Answer:

The actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.

Explanation:

Effective Annual Rate (EAR) refers to an interest rate has been adjusted for compounding over specified period of time.

Effective annual rate can therefore be described as the interest rate that paid to an investor in a year after compounding has been adjusted for.

Effective annual rate can be computed using the following formula:

EAR = [(1 + (i / n))^n] - 1 .............................(1)

Where;

i = Annual interest rate claimed by the dealer = 3.28%, or 0.0328

n = Number of compounding periods or months = 12

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

EAR = [(1 + (0.0328 / 12))^12] - 1 = 0.0332976137123635

EAR = 0.0333, or 3.33% approximately.

Therefore, the actual effective annual rate is 3.33%.

Answer: funded status relative to the projected benefit obligation

Explanation:

A defined benefit pension plan is a pension plan type in which the employer promises to pay the worker a lump sum or a pension payment which is based on the earnings history, age and the tenure of service of the worker.

Since Seigel co. maintains a defined-benefit pension plan for its employees. at each balance sheet date, seigel should report a pension asset/liability that will be equal to the funded status relative to the projected benefit obligation.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the standard production costs:

Direct materials= 9.6*4.55= $43.68

Direct labor= 1*15.80= $15.8

Variable manufacturing overhead rate= 3.40*1= $3.4

Predetermined fixed manufacturing overhead rate= 6*1= $6

Finally, the standard cost per unit:

Total unitary cost= 43.68 + 15.8 + 3.4 + 6= $68.88

Answer:100

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Cost for 10 sofas = $2500

Cost for 12 sofas = $2760.

Average Cost = Total Cost/Quantity

2500 / 10 = $250 and

$2760 / 12 = $230

The average cost for 12 sofas will be $230

Marginal cost is the change in total cost divided by the change in quantity. This will be:

= ( 2760 - 2500 )/( 12 - 10 )

= 260/2

= 130

The difference between the average cost per sofa for 12 sofas and the marginal cost of the 12th sofa will be:

=230 - 130

= 100

Answer:

100

Explanation:

I took the question on the assignment and got  it right

Answer: $‭147,501‬

Explanation:

Since the company uses straight voting whereby each share gets only one vote per seat, the cost to guarantee that one will be elected to the board is;

Cost = Share price*( (shares outstanding/2) +1 )

= 64 * (( 295,000/2) + 1)

= 64 * ‭147,501‬

= $‭147,501‬

This is the cost of owning more than 50% of the shares and it will guarantee that you can vote yourself in for a seat as you will have the majority to do so.

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor

Explanation:

To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.

Answer:

Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %  

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond  

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  

YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YTM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

n- years to maturity

YTM-?, C- 10%× 1000 =100, Face Value - 1000, P-900, n- 10

YTM = (100 + (1000-900)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 900) )  

YTM = 0.1158  × 100 = 11.58 %

Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %  

Answer:

The answer is:

1. Days inventory outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to sell its inventories

2. Days sales outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to collect it receivables

3. Days payables outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to pay its payables.

Explanation:

Cash conversion cycle is the time(number of days) it takes a business to convert its money tied in inventory to cash through sales from customers.

In computing cash conversion cycle, the following are included:

1. Days inventory outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to sell its inventories

2. Days sales outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to collect it receivables

3. Days payables outstanding i.e the number of days it takes to pay its payables.

The formula for cash conversion cycle is Days inventory outstanding + Days sales outstanding - Days payables outstanding

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

We weren't provided with enough information to answer the request. But, I will give an example and formulas to guide an answer.

For example:

Production in units:

May=20,000

June= 22,000

Beginning inventory of direct materials= 8,000

To calculate the purchase for May, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 20,000*7 + (22,000*7)*0.29 - 8,000

Purchases= 176,660 pounds

Answer:

$54,639

Explanation:

the approximate amount of principal reduction when the second lease payment is made in Year 2 can be calculated by making the Lease amortization table as follows

DATA

Annual payments = 68,830

Implicit rate = 8%

Annuty factor for 4 years at 8% = 3.55710

Present value of lease payment =$246,212 (68830*3.57710 )

                                                      Year 1                Year 2

Opening balance                             -                      $177,382(w)

interest                                              -                      $14,191(w)

payments                                      $68,830             $68,830

principal payments                     $68,830              $54,639

closing balance                          $177,382(w)         $122,743

Working

Closing balance = Present value of lease payment - Annual payment

Closing balance = $256,212 - $68,830

Closing balance = $177,382

Interest = closing balance x implicit rate

Interest =  $177,382 x 8%

Interest = $14,190.56

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is the case because tax cuts and government spending are instruments that could be used in expansionary fiscal policy.

Note that reduced taxes usually have a direct impact on the disposable income of a economy not the composition of labor demand. Tax cuts leads directly to consumption and savings increase, resulting from increase in disposable income in the economy.

Answer:

Wertz Corporation

Omission of the discount amortization will:

increase the net income by the amount of the discount that should have been amortized in the year ended December 31, 2017.

Explanation:

Wertz's bond discount represents a loss to the corporation that should be written off over the life of the bond.  If the 2017 discount amortization is omitted, the net income is increased by the amount of the discount amortization expense.  This means that the income is overstated by that amount.  If this omission is discovered before the issuance of the financial reports, it should be reflected in the accounts.  If not, depending on its materiality, this amount must be reflected by restating the 2017 financial statements.

Answer:

The budgeted sales are missing, so I looked for them. I found the following question, hopefully it will be similar:

Month        Sales

April           $300,000

May            $320,000

June           $370,000

Schedule of expected collections

For the month of June, 202x

Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000

Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600

Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000

Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 18% = $32,400

Total cash collections during June = $343,000

Since the cost of the part time collector is $1,000 per month, and the total uncollectible accounts reduce from 4% to 2%, which represents $7,400 for June's sales, I would recommend hiring the collector.

Answer:

14.7%

Explanation:

The computation of return on investment is shown below:

Return on Investment = Net Income ÷ Average total assets × 100

where,

Net Income is

= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expense  

= $4,525,000 - $2,550,000 - $1,372,000

= $603,000

And,

Average total assets = $4,100,000

So,

Return on Investment is

= $603,000 ÷ $4,100,000 × 100

= 14.7%

Answer;

A. Todd, an American, going to visit Jamaica for spring break. - Loser

The US dollar depreciating means that it now takes more US dollars to buy Jamaican dollars. Todd will afford less Jamaican dollars when he goes to Jamaica.

B. An investment bank in Jamaica that is interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds. - Winner

The Investment bank will see that their domestic currency is stronger than it was therefore they can buy more US dollars. As a result it will be cheaper for the Investment bank to buy U.S. Government bonds.

C. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires in Jamaica. - Winners.

Goodyear will be winners because when they sell their tires in Jamaican dollars and then convert it to USD, they will.get more dollars from the transaction than before.

D. A family from Jamaica visiting relatives in the U.S. - Winners

As the Jamaican family will be able to buy more US dollars than before, they are winners.

E. A firm from Jamaica selling handbags in the U.S. - Losers.

As the firm sells in the US, they sell in US dollars. When they try to convert their sales to Jamaican dollars, they will get less than before.

F. U.S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is purchasing a high tech company in Jamaica. - Losers.

The depreciation of the US dollar means than HP will have to spend more dollars purchasing the company than before because the purchase price of the company will be stated in Jamaican dollars.

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Discarding an asset that had been fully depreciated is the correct answer. No exchange of cash was involved in this unlike the purchase of non current asset(which is a cash outflow under investing activities) and the purchase of treasury stock (which is a cash outflow under financing activities).

Discarding a fully depreciated asset only is a non cash transaction.
