Owner's equity at the end = $43920
A small ice cream business earns $26538 profit during the two months of July and August. This represents 35% of the annual profit. Find the annual profit. Round to the nearest whole number.
Let the annual profit be x.
profit earned in July and August is 35% of the annual profit
=> $26538 = 35% of x
=> $26538 = (35/100) × x
=> $26538 × (100/35) = x
=> $2653800/35 = x
=> $530760/7 = x
So, the profit is $530760/7.
The annual profit is $75,823.
Given that,
Two months profit is $26,538.This two month profit represents 35% of annual profit.We need to find annual profit.According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

In this type of budget, the master budget is based on a single prediction for sales volume, and the budgeted amount for each cost essentially assumes that a specific amount of sales will occur. Group of answer choices Flexible budget. Variable budget. Standard budget. Fixed budget.
Answer:
Fixed budget.
Explanation:
A fixed budget can be regarded as financial plan which is not been modified for any variations that could come up in actual activity. In most times some companies may have experience of substantial variations as regards their expected activity levels within the encompassed period of budget as well as the amounts in that budget. The budget cost allowances in a fixed budget for each cost item cannot be changed as regards the variable items. It should be noted that in Fixed budget the master budget is based on a single prediction for sales volume, and the budgeted amount for each cost essentially assumes that a specific amount of sales will occur.

Minimum number of workstations needed = Total task time / Minimum possible cycle time = 162 / 54 = 3
Therefore, the correct option is A. 3.
4. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what would be the efficiency of this line with the minimum number of workstations?
Line efficiency = Total task time / (Minimum number of workstations needed * Desired cycle time) = 162 / (3 * 60) = 162 / 180 = 0.90, or 90%
Therefore, the correct option is E. 90%.
5. If the company desires that output rate equal demand, what is the last task performed at the second workstation in the balance which uses the minimum number of workstations?
The last task should be the one has the longest task time. From the data table in the question, it can be observed that y is the task that has the longest task time. This implies y is the task to perform last.
Therefore, the correct option is E. y.

Explanation:
Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 26 percent for the next 3 years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 14 percent and the company just paid a $1.90 dividend. what is the current share price
Answer:
$46.20
Explanation:
Dividend in year 1 = 1.90 x 1.26 = 2.39
Dividend in year 2 = 1.90 x 1.26² = 3.02
Dividend in year 3 = 1.90 x 1.26³ = 3.80
Dividend in year 3 = (3.80 x 1.07) / (0.14 - 0.07) = 58.10
Calculate the present value of these dividends
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = 2.39
Cash flow in year 1 = 3.02

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows.
Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin
Lawnmowers 20% $33
Weed-trimmers 50% $21
Chainsaws 30% $37
Yard Tools has fixed costs of $4,200,000.
Required:
Compute the number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix.
Answer:
Lawnmowers’ break-even point in units = 29,787 units
Weed-trimmers’ break-even point in units = 74,468 units
Chainsaws' break-even point in units = 44,681 unit
Explanation:
Given:
Sales Mix Unit Contribution Margin
Lawnmowers 20% $33
Weed-trimmers 50% $21
Chainsaws 30% $37
The number of units of each product that Yard Tools must sell in order to break even under this product mix can be computed using Weighted-Average Contribution Margin Ratio as follows:
Weighted contribution margin = (Sales Mix of Lawnmowers * Unit Contribution Margin of Lawnmowers) + (Sales Mix of Weed-trimmers * Unit Contribution Margin of Weed-trimmers) + (Sales Mix of Chainsaws * Unit Contribution Margin of Chainsaws) = (20% * $33) + (50% * $21) + (30% * $37) = $28.20
Total break-even point in units for the company = Fixed cost / Weighted contribution margin = $4,200,000 / $28.20 = 148,936 units
Therefore, we have:
Lawnmowers’ break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Lawnmowers * Total break-even point in units for the company = 20% * 148,936 = 29,787 units
Weed-trimmers’ break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Weed-trimmers * Total break-even point in units for the company = 50% * 148,936 = 74,468 units
Chainsaw’s break-even point in units = Sales Mix of Chainsaws * Total break-even point in units for the company = 30% * 148,936 = 44,681 units
A company's ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity decreased from 0.6 to 0.4 during the year. This is a.an improvement in the margin of safety for creditors. b.an indication that the company's level of debt is increasing. c.a negative change in the company's financial position. d.an improvement in the company's net income.
Answer:
A)an improvement in the margin of safety for creditors.
Explanation:
Margin of safety can be regarded as a principle of investing whereby an investor only make purchases of securities during the time when the market price is below their intrinsic value significantly. In a case whereby
the market price of a security falls below ones estimation of its intrinsic value significantly, then the difference that exist there is regarded as margin of safety. Margin of safety can as well be regarded as financial ratio which gives measurement of the amount of sales which exceed the break-even point. Most times investors may create a margin of safety with regards to their own risk preferences, purchasing of securities in a time that there is a difference give room for an investment to be made with minimal downside risk.
For instance, company's ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity decreased from 0.6 to 0.4 during the year.

When Matt has an income of $2,000, he consumes 30 units of good A and 50 units of good B. After Matt's income increases to $3,000, he consumes 25 units of good A and 95 units of good B. Good A is a normal good, and good B is an inferior good is the correct statement. Option C is the correct answer.
A normal good is a type of good for which demand increases as income increases. In this scenario, as Matt's income increases from $2,000 to $3,000, his consumption of good A decreases from 30 units to 25 units. This indicates an inverse relationship between his income and the quantity of good A consumed, suggesting that good A is a normal good. Option C is the correct answer.
On the other hand, an inferior good is a type of good for which demand decreases as income increases. In this case, as Matt's income increases, his consumption of good B increases from 50 units to 95 units. This suggests a positive relationship between his income and the quantity of good B consumed, indicating that good B is an inferior good.

A small component is purchased for the use in the production of a major product. The standard price of the component is $0.85. During a recent period, 7,800 units were purchased and 6,800 were actually used. The standard quantity of units allowed for the actual output of the period was 6,540 units. What was the materials quantity variance
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Material quantity variance is computed as;
= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity of units allowed for the actual output )
Actual quantity = 6,800 units
Standard quantity = 6,540 units
= 6,800 - 6,540
= 260 units
Therefore, the materials quantity variance is 260 Unfavourable.

In ________ organizational cultures, more individuality is shown through the organization’s rules being less strictly applied.
Answer:
weak
Explanation:
An organizational culture can be defined as the shared norms, beliefs, assumptions and values that exist in an organization.
An ethical climate can be defined as a collection of behaviors that are considered to be acceptable and correct within an organization or business firm. Also, an ethical climate provides the human resources management of an organization with a framework or benchmark on how employee behavioral issues or ethical problems are to be managed or handled within the organization.

On a related note, the rules guiding an organization are generally strictly being applied in strong organizational culture.
Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $130,000 and would have a ten-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $16,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $46,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $13,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):
Answer:
The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to 14.53%.
Explanation:
Assuming a straight-line depreciation method, we have:
Annual deprecation = Cost of the new machine / Useful life = $130,000 / 10 = $13,000
Net annual benefit = Annual saving - Annual operating and maintenance cost - Annual deprecation = $46,000 - $16,000 - $13,000 = $17,000
Net investment = Cost of the new machine - Scrap value of the old machine = $130,000 - $13,000 = $117,000
Simple rate of return on the new machine = Net annual benefit / Net investment = $17,000 / $117,000 = 0.1453, or 14.53%
Therefore, the simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to 14.53%.

Labor productivity is?
Answer:
Workforce productivity is the amount of goods and services that a group of workers produce in a given amount of time. It is one of several types of productivity that economists measure.
Indy Company has the following data for one of its manufacturing plants:
Maximum units produced in a quarter (3-month period): 250,000 units
Actual units produced in a quarter (3-month period): 204,000 units
Productive hours in one quarter: 25,000 hours
Actual cycle time: 7.35 minutes
Theoretical cycle time: 6 minutes
Required:
1. Calculate the amount of processing time and the amount of nonprocessing time. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.
Processing time minutes
Nonprocessing time minutes
2. Calculate the MCE. If required, round your answer to nearest whole number. %
Answer:
1. Processing time:
Processing time = Theoretical time
Processing time is there for 6 minutes
Non processing time = Actual cycle time - processing time
= 7.35 - 6
= 1.35 minutes
2. Manufacturing Cycle Efficiency (MCE):
= Processing time / Actual cycle time
= 6 / 7.35
= 81.6%
During a risk brainstorming session a team member identifies a risk. This particular risk does not seem to belong to any of the categories in you Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS). How should you respond
Answer:
Record it in the risk register, discuss potential responses and make a note to update the RBS.
Explanation:
Risk management is the process by which the management of an organisation identifies, assessed, and controls threats that may affect the company's capital or earnings.
The risks can be as a result of natural disasters, management error, financial uncertainty, or accidents.
In the given instance if a risk is not on any of the categories in you Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS), there is need to record it in the risk register, discuss potential responses and make a note to update the RBS.
Suppose an industrial building can be purchased for $2,500,000 today and is expected to yield cash flows of $180,000 each of the next five years. (Note: assume cash flows are received at end of year.) If the building is expected to be sold at the end of the fifth year for $2,800,000, calculate the IRR for this investment over the five year holding period
Answer: 9.20%
Explanation:
Use Excel to find out the IRR.
Ensure that you write the purchase price in negatives as shown in the attached picture.
The cashflow for the last year will be the sum of the selling price and the cash flow.
= 2,800,000 + 180,000
= $2,980,000
IRR = 9.20%
