Based on the following production and sales estimates for May, determine the number of units expected to be manufactured in May. Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000 Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000 Expected sales volume (units): South region 20,000 West region 40,000 North region 20,000 Unit sales price $10 a.85,000 b.105,000 c.75,000 d.80,000

Answers

Answer:

Production= 75,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated inventory (units), May 1 30,000

Desired inventory (units), May 31 25,000

Expected sales volume (units):

South region 20,000

West region 40,000

North region 20,000

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

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= (20,000 + 40,000 + 20,000) + 25,000 - 30,000

Production= 75,000 units

During the year, Next Tec Corp. had the following cash flows: receipt from customers, $15,000; receipt from the bank for long-term borrowing, $6,500; payment to suppliers, $5,900; payment of dividends; $1,700, payment to workers, $2,900; and payment for machinery, $12,500. What amount would be reported for net financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows?

Answers

Answer:

$4,800

Explanation:

Next Tech corporation had the following cash flows

Receipt from customers= $15,000

Receipt from bank for long term borrowing= $6,500

Payment to suppliers= $5,900

Payment of dividend= $1,700

Payment to workers= $2,900

Payment for machinery= $12,500

Therefore, the amount that should be reported for the net financing cash flows in the statement of cash flow can be calculated as follows

= Receipt for bank long term borrowing-payment of dividend

= $6,500-$1,700

= $4,800

Hence the amount reported for net financing cash flows in the statement of cash flow is $4,800

Answer: soft constraint

Explanation:

The soft constraint is defined as

a constraint on a random variable (X)that permits overruling the constraint.a function from the domains in its scope(set of variables ) into a real number.

Hence, a  constraint which represents a target value for a problem is called a  soft constraint.

Thus the correct option is d. soft constraint.

Conventional wisdom says one should measure a manager's investment performance over an entire market cycle. What arguments support this contention? What arguments contradict it?

Answers

Answer:

In every form of analysis, it is always safer to take a macro or holistic view of the situation. This is true for the investment performance of a manager. One investment decision that went right does not suffice to classify an investment portfolio manager as proficient, neither is one that went south enough to tag him deficient.

The forecasting ability of managers, on the balance of probability, will vary for different cases, with a helicopter view of providing a more accurate measure of their performance.

However, if it was possible to analyse the market for volatility and adjust our forecasts it becomes unnecessary to look at and analyse all the information from a 12-month cycle before coming to terms about the performance of the manager.

Using the information below for Laurels Company; determine the cost of goods manufactured during the current year: Direct materials used $6,100 Direct Labor 8,100 Total Factory overhead 6,200 Beginning work in process 4,100 Ending work in process 6,200a. $19,700b. $16,900c. $18,300d. $12,800e. $14,800

Answers

Answer:

c. $18,300

Explanation:

The computation of cost of goods manufactured during the current year is shown below:-

Cost of goods manufactured during the current year = Direct material + Direct labor + Total factory overhead + Beginning Work in progress - Ending work in progress

= $6,100 + $8,100 + $6,200 + $4,100 - $6,200

= $24,500 - $6,200

= $18,300

Hence, the correct option is c. $18,300

An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:
Project Beta IRR
W .85 8.9%
X .92 10.8
Y 1.09 12.8
Z 1.35 13.3
The T-bill rate is 4 percent, and the expected return on the market is 11 percent.
a. Which projects have a higher expected return than the firm's 11 percent cost of capital?
b. Which projects should be accepted?
c. Which projects would be incorrectly accepted or rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?

Answers

Answer:

Projects Y and Z

b. Projects W and Z

c. Projects W and Y

Explanation:

CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%

X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%

Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%

Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%

Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%

b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR

c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR

Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater  than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $14,898.07

Explanation:

Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.

Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:

PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)

= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07

Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.

EHealth Corporation has $1,000 par value bonds with 4 years to maturity. The bonds pay an 8% coupon rate with semi-annual coupon interest payments. The bond's closing price is quoted at 103.75. Suppose you purchase the bond for the closing price. What is the bond's yield to maturity?

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity(YTM) = 3.47%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity is the required rate of return (discount rate) that would equate the price of the bond and cash outflow  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- coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

DATA  

Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 8%× 1/2=40(note we divide by 2 because interest is paid semi-annually)

n= 4×2 = 8 (note there 2 half months in a year)

Face Value = 1000

YM-?, C-40, Face Value - 1,000, P-103.75/100×   1000 = 1037.5

YM = (40 + (1000-1037)/8) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 1037.5  ) )  =0.0347

YM = 0.0347 × 100 = 3.47%  

Yield to Maturity = 3.47%

Required:
Prepare a statement of cost of goods manufactured.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of goods manufactured= $490,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Overhead:

Indirect material usage 10,000

Indirect labor 10,000

Factory water and electricity 20,000

Depreciation-factory 50,000

Total overhead= 90,000

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

Direct materials= 100,000 + 20,000 - 30,000= 90,000

cost of goods manufactured= 60,000 + 90,000 + 300,000 + 90,000 - 50,000

cost of goods manufactured= $490,000

The Busby Corporation had a share price at the start of the year of $26.20, paid a dividend of $0.56 at the end of the year, and had a share price of $29.00 at the end of the year. Which of the following is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this period?

A) 5%
B) 7%
C) 9%
D) 13%

Answers

Answer:

D) 13%

Explanation:

Calculation for the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments

First step is to find the balance amount of the share price using this formula

Share price =(End of the year Share price + End of the year dividend)-Start of the year Share price

Let plug in the formula

Share price =($29.00+$0.56)-$26.20

Share price =$29.56-$26.20

Share price =$3.36

Second step is to find the rate of return of investments

Using this formula

Rate of return of investments= Share price/Start of the year Share price

Rate of return of investments

Let plug in the formula

Rate of return of investments=$3.36/$26.20

Rate of return of investments=0.13*100

Rate of return of investments=13%

Therefore the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this perio will be 13%

In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $5 million, patent; $3 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $5 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life. What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items

Answers

Answer:

$1,000,000 per year

Explanation:

We can infer from the above information that the intangible assets with indefinite period are checked annually, for impairment hence patent is a limited life intangible.

Therefore;

The amount of amortization of patent at the end of first year

= Patent value ÷ Useful life

= $5 million ÷ 5 years

= $1,000,000 per year

Therefore, the company should amortize $1,000,000 per year.

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Where, Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

                                                        = ($20 - $17) ÷ $20

                                                        = 0.30

New Break even point (dollar sales) = ($8,100 + $600) ÷ 0.30

                                                            = $29,000

Media Bias Inc. issued bonds 10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 35-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described below: Real rate of return 5 % Inflation premium 4 Risk premium 4 Total return 13 % Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 25 years remaining until maturity.

Answers

Answer:

remaining time to maturity 25 years, annual coupon

face value $1,000

when the bonds were issued, the market interest rate was 13%, which was identical to the coupon rate, therefore, the bonds were sold at par

now, 10 years later, the market interest rate is 12% (1% less), so the current market price is:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 12%)²⁵ = $58.82

PV of coupon payments = $130 x 7.8431 (PV annuity factor, 25 periods, 12%) = $1,019.63

bond's current market price = $58.82 + $1,019.63 = $1,078.45

(d) Accounts payable of $60,000.
Current liabilityNoncurrent liabilityBoth

Answers

Answer:

(a) A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years.  - Noncurrent liability

Non-current liabilities are obligations of payments by the company that extend for over a year. This note payable is due in 2 years and so is a Non-current liability.

(b) A 10-year mortgage payable of $200,000 payable in ten $20,000 annual payments.  - Noncurrent liability

This obligation also extends for over a year thereby satisfying the definition of a Non-current liability

(c) Interest payable of $15,000 on the mortgage.  - Current liability

Current Liabilities being the opposite of Non-current liabilities are obligations that are due within a year. The $15,000 interest payment is the amount due for the year and so is a Current Liability.

(d) Accounts payable of $60,000.  - Current liability

Accounts Payable are payable within the year and as such are current liabilities.

The manager of a crew that installs wood floors has tracked the crew's output over the past several weeks. Each worker works 40 hours per week and earns $17 per hour. The wholesale cost of lumber to the company is $5 per square foot and the company charges its customers $15 per square foot of flooring installed.
Week Crew Size Lumber Used (sq. ft.) Flooring Installed (sq. ft.)
1 4 480 420
2 3 351 325
3 2 250 238

a. Calculate labor productivity for each of the weeks.
b. Suppose that in addition to labor cost and wholesale lumber cost, the firm's overhead is 120% of its labor cost. Calculate multifactor productivity for each of the weeks shown.

Answers

Answer:

Week      Crew Size     Lumber Used     Flooring Installed

                                     (sq. ft.)                 (sq. ft.)

1                    4                 480                   420

2                   3                 351                    325

3                   2                 250                   238

a)

labor productivity = total output / number of employees

week 1 ⇒ 420 / 4 = 105 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker

week 2 ⇒ 325 / 3 = 108.33 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker

week 3 ⇒ 238 / 2 = 119 sq. ft. of floors installed per worker

b)

multi-factor productivity = total output in $ / (labor + materials + overhead)

week 1 ⇒ (420 x $15) / [(4 x 40 x $17) + (480 x $5) + (4 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $6,300 / ($2,720 + $2,400 + $3,264) = 0.75

week 2 ⇒ (325 x $15) / [(3 x 40 x $17) + (351 x $5) + (3 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $4,875 / ($2,040 + $1,755 + $2,448) = 0.78

week 3 ⇒ (238 x $15) / [(2 x 40 x $17) + (250 x $5) + (2 x 40 x $17 x 1.2) = $3,570 / ($1,360 + $1,250 + $1,632) = 0.84

Shares outstanding, 1/1/2021 4,000

What is the number of shares J should use to calculate 2018 basic earnings per share?

a. 20,000.
b. 22,500.
c. 25,000 .
d. 27,000.

Answers

Answer: b. 22,500

Explanation:

J should use the total number of outstanding common stock at end of year to calculate 2018 basic earnings.

As a result of the Stock-split, the shares are split into 2 for 1.

There were 10,000 shares split so;

= 10,000 * 2

= 20,000

On the 1st of July, 5,000 shares were issued. This means that up till December 2021, the stock was outstanding for 6 months.

This will reflected by;

= 5,000 * 6/12

= 2,500 shares

Total shares = 20,000 + 2,500

= 22,500 shares

One of the problems with licensing as a method of achieving international business is that it is a much more difficult procedure to implement than the other methods.
a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Licensing involves a company giving another company in another country/market permission to produce its products or use its likeness. The company that gets the license will then pay the parent company specified amounts for being able to do so.

This method of international business is cheap as the company licensing will see its brand spread to other countries without actually having to worry about set-up costs in the other country which can be very high. It is therefore one of the easiest methods of expanding to international markets there is.

Answers

Answer:

d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.

Explanation:

In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type

Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows

1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system

2. The name would become shorter

3. Readable program

but it does not increase the efficiency

Hence, the last option is correct

Jungle Junior sold 2,500 swing sets, which consisted of 750 orders and 80 returns.

Required:
a. Determine the total sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets.
b. Determine the per-unit sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer: 1}ToTAL Activity cost =$23,000

2a)  Sales order Processing Activity per unit sale=$6.00

2b)customer return activity per unit sale=$3.20

Explanation:

a. total sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets

Sales order Processing Activity =Number of orders x rate per sales order

                                       =750 x 20 =  $15,000

customer return activity  = Number of returns x rate per return

                                         = 80 x 100= $8,000

ToTAL Activity cost = Sales order Processing Activity +customer return activity= $15,000 + $8000 = $23,000

b)per-unit sales order processing and customer return activity cost for swing sets

Cost of Sale order processing = $15,000

Number of swing set sold = 2,500

Therefore Sales order Processing Activity per unit sale =  Cost of Sale order processing/ Number of swing set sold = $15,000/ 2,500= $6.00

customer return activity cost  = $8,000

Number of swing set sold = 2,500

Therefore customer return activity per unit sale=  customer return activity cost / Number of swing set sold = $8,000/ 2,500= $3.20

ToTAL Activity cost  per unit sale = Sales order Processing Activity  cost per unit +customer return activity cost per unit = $6.00 +  $3.20 = $9.20
