Answer:
$534,600
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Costs
where :
Sales = 2,700 units x $664 = $1,792,800
Variable Costs = Costs of Goods Sold + Variable Selling Costs + Variable Administrative Cots
= 2,700 units x $405 + 2,700 units x $48 + 2,700 units x $13
= $1,258,200
therefore,
Contribution margin = $1,792,800 - $1,258,200 = $534,600
Nigel belongs to a wealthy family. He has always enjoyed trying out new gadgets and devices that are launched in the market. Since he is financially well-off, he likes to experiment with expensive products and is comfortable with the risks and uncertainties associated with these products. Based on this description, Nigel most likely belongs to the group of:
Incomplete question. The Options;
a. Candidates for elected office
b. Early majority
c. Technology diffusers
d. Innovators
Answer:
b. Early majority
Explanation:
Recall we are told that Nigel loves trying new tech and is "financially well-off", so he falls under the category of those who are termed early majority who quickly try/adopt new technologies.
Also, the early majority are usually "comfortable with the risks and uncertainties associated with" new tech products, thus they are less worried about not deriving value for their money.
A firm with a net income of $30,000 and weighted average actual shares outstanding of 15,000 for the year also had the following two securities outstanding the entire year: (1) 2,000 options to purchase one share of stock for $12 per share. The average share price during the year was $20, (2) cumulative convertible preferred stock with an annual dividend commitment of $4,500. Total common shares issued on conversion are 2,900. Compute diluted EPS for this firm.
Answer:
$1.68
Explanation:
Diluted EPS = Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders ÷ Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights
where,
Earnings Attributable to Potential Ordinary Shareholders = $30,000
and
Weighted Average Number Ordinary Shareholders plus Potential Voting Rights
Weighted average actual shares outstanding = 15,000
Plus Potential voting rights of 2,000 options = 1
Plus Potential voting right of preferred stock = 2,900
Total = 17,901
therefore,
Diluted EPS = $30,000 ÷ 17,901
= $1.68
Suppose that a task in a project has the following time estimates: to optimistic completion time 11 weeks tm most likely completion time 14 weeks tp pessimistic completion time 23 weeks Compute the expected task variance. The task expected task variance is weeks. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
6 weeks
Explanation:
Optimistic Completion Time - 11 weeks
Most likely completion time - 14 weeks
Pessimistic completion time - 23 weeks
Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.
Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.
First,
the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks
Second,
the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks
The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2 = 6 weeks
So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.

Answer:
When telling a friend about your new job, how would you describe this company’s operations?
Neither effective nor efficient
Explanation:
The company's operations will be considered effective if they achieve objectives. But they do not produce the desired results because drivers often get the wrong addresses, making freights not to arrive at their destinations. Similarly, the company's operations cannot be described as efficient because trucks go out half full with wrong addresses. This is a waste of time, money, and efforts, and the performance competence of the company is questionable. Efficient operations accomplish results with the least amount of resources. Effective operations achieve desired results successfully.
The board of directors of a corporation:________.
a) Are elected by the corporate registrar.
b) Are responsible for day-to-day operations of the business.
c) Do not have the power to bind the corporation to contracts, due to lack of mutual agency.
d) May not also be executive officers of the corporation, due to the separate entity principle.
e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.
Answer:
e) Are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities.
Explanation:
A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.
This ultimately implies that, a corporation is a corporate organization that owns or controls its business in two or more countries.
Some examples of multinational firms are Ap-ple, Volkswagen, Go-ogle, Shoprite, Nestlé, Accenture, Shell BP, Chevron etc.
An owner of a corporation is known as a stockholder and he or she can decide to sell the corporation through stocks or shares as a publicly traded firm.
Basically, the board of directors who are representing the stockholders of a corporation are responsible for and have final authority for managing corporate activities because they are typically considered to be a governing body saddled with oversight functions and responsibilities.

The doctrine of state decisis is a
Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium
*Fill in the blanks please :) *
Suppose Paolo and Sharon are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Paolo chooses Right and Sharon chooses Right, Paolo will receive a payoff of 5 and Sharon will receive a payoff of 4.
The only dominant strategy in this game is for _________ to choose __________.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses __________ and Sharon chooses _______.
Question Completion:
Matrix payoff:
Sharon
Left Right
Paolo Left 8, 3 4, 4
Right 5, 3 5, 4
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.
Explanation:
a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is. In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.
b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.
Return to questionItem 4 Required information Skip to question Retained earnings at the beginning of the period was $300. During the period, Kilgore Company earned revenue of $1,100 and incurred expenses of $400. Assuming dividends paid to stockholders were $200, the ending balance in retained earnings must have been:
Answer:
$800
Explanation:
The first task here is to determine the amount of net income recognized in the year which is the earned revenue minus incurred expenses as shown thus:
net income=earned revenue-incurred expenses
earned revenue= $1,100
incurred expenses=$400
net income=$1,100-$400=$700
retained earnings for the period=net income-dividends paid
dividends paid=$200
retained earnings for the period=$700-$200=$500
ending balance of retained earnings=beginning retained earnings+retained earnings for the period
beginning retained earnings=$300
ending balance of retained earnings=$300+$500=$800

A company issued 8%, 15-year bonds with a face amount of $100 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 6%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price did the bonds sell
Answer:
$119.60 million
Explanation:
The bond price formula provided below is very useful in determining the amount of money received from the bond investors when the bond were issued:
Bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+semiannual coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
face value=$100 million
r=semiannual yield=6%*6/12=3%
n=number of semiannual coupon payments in 15 years=15*2=30
semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12=$100million*8%*6/12=$4 million
bond price=$100/(1+3%)^30+$4*(1-(1+3%)^-30/3%
bond price=$100/(1.03)^30+$4*(1-(1.03)^-30/0.03
bond price=$100/2.42726247+$4*(1-0.41198676)/0.03
bond price=$100/2.42726247+$4*0.58801324/0.03
bond price=$41.20+$ 78.40=$119.60 million
In the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage, which statement is true of a top-line strategy? a. It focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. b. It focuses on improving efficiency by reducing overall costs. c. It focuses on helping different market segments achieve technological advancement. d. It focuses on refining operations by using latest technologies.
Answer:
a. It focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services.
Explanation:
An information system or technology can be defined as a set of components or computer systems, which is used to collect, store, and process data, as well as dissemination of information, knowledge, and distribution of digital products. Thus, an information system or technology interacts with its environment by receiving data in its raw forms and information in a usable format.
Information technology is an integral part of human life because individuals, organizations, and institutions rely on information technologies in order to perform their duties, functions or tasks and to manage their operations effectively. For example, all organizations make use of information systems for supply chain management, process financial accounts, manage their workforce, and as a marketing channels to reach their customers or potential customers.
Additionally, an information system comprises of five (5) main components;
1. Hardware.
2. Software.
3. Database.
4. Human resources.
5. Telecommunications.
Hence, in the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage over rivals in the industry, the statement which is true of a top-line strategy is that, it focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. The top-line strategy ensures that the company continues to generate gross revenue or sales.
Sue views hot dogs (H) and hot dog buns (B) as perfect complements in her consumption, and the corners of her indifference curves follow the 45-degree line: H-B. Suppose the price of hot dogs is $5 per package (8 hot dogs), the price of buns is $3 per package (8 hot dog buns), and Sue's budget is $48 per month. What is her optimal choice under this scenario?
A. 6 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
B. 6 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
C. 8 packages of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.
D. 8 packages of hot dogs and 6 packages of buns.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
a budget constraint is the total amount of goods and services an individual can buy given the price of the products and the income of the consumer.
Sue is constrained by her income. Thus, she must spend within $48
The equation for this is :
$5H + $3B = $48
where
H = hot dogs
B = Hot dog buns
(5 x 6 ) + (3 x 6 ) = $48
On discovering an improperly adjusted drill press, Jack Joyner, Director of Quality Control, ordered an inspection of every fifth casting drilled during the evening shift. Less than 1% of the sampled castings were defective; so, Jack released the evening shift's production to assembly. This is an example of _______________.
Answer:
Inferential statistics
Explanation:
Here, every fifth casting drill during evening shift is selected to identify the defectiveness of the casting. That is, every drill is considered as the sample. It is clear that the inference about the population is made. That is, less than 1% of the casting was defective, hence, it is concluded that is an example of inferential statistics

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.
Answer: $16,613
Explanation:
As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.
The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate
= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%
= $19,738
This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.
= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²
= $16,613

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest
Answer:
$2,810,467
Explanation:
we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies
first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286
then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value
PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700
PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767
total enterprise value = $2,810,467
Kendra Corporation uses a process-cost accounting system. The company adds direct materials and direct labor at the start of its production process; overhead cost is incurred evenly throughout manufacturing. The firm has no beginning work-in-process inventory; its ending work in process is 40% complete. Which of the following sets of percentages would be used to calculate the correct number of equivalent units in the ending work-in-process inventory?
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%.
b. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 100%.
c. Materials, 100%; labor 40%; overhead cost, 40%.
d. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 60%.
e. Materials, 40%; labor, 40%; overhead cost, 100%.
Answer:
a. Materials, 100%; labor, 100%; overhead cost, 40%.
Explanation:
The work in Process have already passed the mark at which Materials and Labor are added, that is the start of its production process so these are both 100% complete. Overheads are 40 % complete, which is the extent of work done on them since they occur evenly.
Summary of opportunity cost
During a meeting with a potential customer, you are asked to explain the difference between two different types of systems that your company is developing. Although you feel confident that you correctly explained the systems, after the meeting you realize that you inadvertently confused some of the characteristics, and partly described a third system that the customer had not even asked about. The systems are still prototypes and there is no publicly available information about them, so it is unlikely that the potential customer will realize that you confused the systems and are not up-to-date on your company's products. What should you do?
Answer:
First, update your knowledge of the company's product (especially at this development stage). The purpose is for a demonstration of general knowledge and not for you to provide all the technical details to the potential customers. So, try to stick to the claims about the product's performance and not the details.
Secondarily, request for the documentation of research and development activities. This will provide some literature for the sales and marketing efforts to be effective. Study the available data about the product development, customer requirements, and lifecycle.
Explanation:
In marketing newly developed products, the marketing personnel should bear in mind that effective communication of value to the potential customers is what is required at the initial stage, without too much details. The effort should be to convince customers of the value of the products under development.
Assume Intel Corporation (INTC) and Texas Instruments (TXN) report the following information. Intel Corp Texas Instruments ($ millions) Sales PPE, net Sales PPE, net 2015 $34,209 $15,768 $12,580 $3,918 2016 38,826 17,111 13,392 3,899 Compute the 2016 PPE turnover for both companies. a. INTC: 2.27 TXN: 3.44 b. INTC: 2.17 TXN: 3.21 c. INTC: 2.50 TXN: 3.50 d. INTC: 2.36 TXN: 3.43
Answer:
d. INTC: 2.36 TXN: 3.43
Explanation:
The property , plant equipment turnover is the ratio of sales divided by the amount of PPE as shown below:
PPE turnover=sales/(beginning PPE+ending PPE)/2
Intel Corporation (INTC):
PPE turnover=$38,826/($15,768+$17,111)/2
PPE turnover=$38,826/$16,439.50
PPE turnover=2.36 times
Texas Instruments (TXN):
PPE turnover=$13,392/( $3,918+$3,899)/2
PPE turnover=$13,392/$3,908.50
PPE turnover=3.43 times
The correct option is D
Don James purchased a new automobile for $21,000. Don made a cash down payment of $5,250 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in 30 monthly installments, beginning one month from the date of purchase. Financing is available at a 24% annual interest rate.
Required:
Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment.
Answer:
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
Explanation:
given data
Cost of auto = $21000
Cash Down payment = $5250
Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250
loan amount = $15,750
time period = 30 monthly
Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm
solution
we get here monthly payment that is express as
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex] ...................1
put here value and we get
monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]
solve it we get
monthly payment. = $703.24 per month
If you deposit $5,000 4 years from today, how much can you withdraw 10 years from today if interest is 6 percent per year compounded annually?
Answer:
the future value is $7,093
Explanation:
The computation of the future value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
= $5,000 × (1 + 0.06)^6
= $5,000 × 1.06^6
= $7,093
Hence, the future value is $7,093
