Patty’s Pies has sells 900 pies in August for $20.00 each. At the end of August Patty advertises her pies in the local Valupak which will mail to 25,000 local houses. Statistics show that approximately .5% (one half of one percent) of Valupak recipients result in a sale. Based upon this information, compute the amount of sales Patty would budget for September.
Answer: $20,500
Explanation:
The amount of sales that Patty would budget for September will be calculated thus:
The expected increase in sales unit will be calculated as:
= 0.5% × 25,000
= 125
Therefore, the unit of sale in September will then be:
= 900 pies + 125 pies
= 1025 pies
Then, the total amount of sale will be:
= 1,025 × $20
= $20,500

If a company purchases equipment costing $5,100 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be:
Answer:
assets increase $5,100 and liabilities increase $5,100
Explanation:
Assets are the items that a company owns which can provide future economic benefit.
Liabilities are future sacrifices of economic benefits that an entity is obliged to make to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events, hence Liabilities are what a person or company owe other parties.
If a company purchases equipment costing $5,100 on credit, the assets of the company will increase by $5100 as a result of acquiring an equipment. Also, the liability will increase by $5100 as a result of debt owed.
You own a stock portfolio invested 32 percent in Stock Q, 22 percent in Stock R, 19 percent in Stock S, and 27 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are 1.63, 1.35, 2.56, and 0.68, respectively. What is the portfolio beta? Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 1.1234)
Answer:
Beta= 1.4886
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You own a stock portfolio invested 32 percent in Stock Q, 22 percent in Stock R, 19 percent in Stock S, and 27 percent in Stock T.
The betas for these four stocks are 1.63, 1.35, 2.56, and 0.68, respectively.
To calculate the portfolio beta, we need to use the following formula:
Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)
Beta= (0.32*1.63) + (0.22*1.35) + (0.19*2.56) + (0.27*0.68)
Beta= 1.4886
Frank Corporation manufactures a single product that has a selling price of $25.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $64,000 per year, and the company must sell 8,000 units to break even. If the company has a target profit of $19,000, sales in units must be:________.a. 9,648b. 8,760c. 10,375d. 10,560
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 10,375
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $25
Fixed cost= $64,000
Break-even point in units= 8,000
First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
8,000 = 64,000 / contribution margin per unit
contribution margin per unit8,000= 64,000
contribution margin per unit= 64,000 / 8,000
contribution margin per unit= $8
Now, the number of units to be sold to make a profit of $19,000:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (64,000 + 19,000) / 8
Break-even point in units= 10,375

A company has 1000000 shares outstanding trading at $15 a piece. Managers believe that the discount rate appropriate for the risk borne is 15% and total cash flows, expected to be $1 million next year, will rise by 5% per year indefinitely. Discuss a strategy that is beneficial to the current shareholders.
Answer:
Explanation:
Knowing the value of the equity and establishing the intrinsic worth of the share may help you develop a perfect strategy that will benefit the current shareholders.
Value of the equity = Cashflow÷(discount rate - growth rate)
= $1,000,000 ÷ (15%-5%)
= $1,000,000 ÷ (10%)
= $10,000,000
Intrinsic value per share = Value of the equity ÷ Shares outstanding
= $10,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000
= $10
For the share, The intrinsic value = $10
However, since the current trading share price is $15, then we can posit that the share price is over-valued.
As a result, the perfect strategy that will be beneficial to the shareholders is for the current shareholders to sell the shares (short selling at a high price and purchasing at a low price).
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $1,000 a month in a stock account and $700 a month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be 9 percent, and the bond account will pay 6 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with a return of 7 percent. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a 20-year withdrawal period
Answer:
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total accumulated at the moment of retirement. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Stock:
Monthly investment= $1,000
Interest rate= 0.09/12= 0.0075
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {1,000*[(1.0075^300) - 1]} / 0.0075
FV= $1,121,121.94
Bond:
Monthly investment= $700
Interest rate= 0.06/12= 0.005
Number of periods= 25*12= 300 months
FV= {700*[(1.005^300) - 1]} / 0.005
FV= 485,095.77
Total FV= 1,121,121.94 + 485,095.77
Total FV= $1,606,217.71
Now, the annual withdrawal:
Interest rate= 0.07/12= 0.005833
Number of months= 12*20= 240
Monthly withdraw= (FV*i) / [1 - (1+i)^(-n)]
Monthly withdraw= (1,606,217.71*0.005833) / [1 - (1.005833^-240)]
Monthly withdraw= $12,452.6

The text defines management as “The art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.” Put yourself in the shoes of a manager and explain what this definition means in the context of a company operation. You can use the example of any company (large or small) and any good or service.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you did not attach the text, we can comment on the quote.
"The art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.”
This quote means that good managers motivate and positively influence employees to get the job done. Managers coordinate and monitor the work of the employees. Managers first plan, then establish the goals to be accomplished and then direct the work effort to be productive.
If I were a manager of a company, I definitely try to emulate what the quote says. For instance, the manager of a recreational and sports club. I would do everything to establish clear, specific, and attainable goals so my employees could understand them. Then I describe the role and responsibilities of each employee so they can do their job without any doubts. And of course, I would delegate so they can do their jobs happily. No unnescesary intromissions. The objective would be to offer the best service possible to our clients.

XYZ shop has a favorite model that has annual sales of 145. The cost to place an order to replenish inventory is $25 per order, and annual inventory holding cost per unit is $20. Assume the store is open 350 days per year. a. What is the optimal order size
Answer:
EOQ= 19 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Demand= 145 units
Order cost= $25 per order
Holding cost= $20.
To calculate the optimal order quantity, we need to use the economic order quantity method:
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
EOQ= √[(2*145*25) / 20]
EOQ= √362.5
EOQ= 19 units
Amazon Corporation owns machinery with a book value of $760,000. It is estimated that the machinery will generate future cash flows of $700,000. The machinery has a fair value of $560,000. Amazon should recognize a loss on impairment of:_______.
Answer: $200,000
Explanation:
The loss on impairment refers to the difference between the carrying or book value of an asset and the fair/ recoverable value of same.
Loss on impairment = Book value - Fair value
= 760,000 - 560,000
= $200,000
The value of the machinery would fall by $200,000 to tally it to its fair value.

Jill has recently begun working at a local florist. In addition to creating floral arrangements, Jill spends a good deal of her time talking to customers and ringing up sales. Over time, she identifies a weakness in the procedures for ringing up voids. No approval is neces- sary to void a sale, and the void slip collects very little information about the sale. After Jill has completed a sale and the customer has left, she voids the sale and pockets the cash that was just received. The floral shop doesn’t miss the lost inventory because it has a high inventory turnover ratio and high losses due to flowers losing their bloom.
1. What type of fraud is Jill committing?
2. What could the florist do to prevent this type of fraud from occurring?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. What type of fraud is Jill committing?
The fraud that Jill is committing is known as theft of cash through fraudulent disbursements. In this case, Jill is using a register disbursement scheme which involves false voids of customer sales. During the time of sale, a record is made and another record is then created again which is used for the false void.
2. What could the florist do to prevent this type of fraud from occurring?
To prevent this fraud, a receipt should be attached and the florist should make sure that every vital information about all sales are collected such as customers name, time, amount of goods bought, signature and f customers etc

Answer:
The explanation of the subject is described in the following part of the discussion.
Explanation:
The idea which should generally be used in this instance seems to be that individuals are generally motivated by motivations and take advantage of chances to improve. Because when a group continues operating, several tasks have been needed to do operate effectively. This should lead to labor revenue.Whenever companies identify an expense as well as a speedier way to accomplish operations, they will most surely go to it. The above leaves the job to be done as well as no machinery to operate and even if the device does not operate, these same commodities are not being usedBaylor Service Corp. redeemed $1,000 of gift cards that customers used to pay for services that were performed by the company.

2. Compute the efficiency rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
3. Compute the quality rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
4. Compute the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. Utilization rate = Operating time/Scheduled time
Utilization rate = 5,696/6,400
Utilization rate = 0.89
2. Efficiency rate = (Total output / Ideal run rate) / Operating time
Efficiency rate = (18,100/2) / 5,696
Efficiency rate = 9,050 / 5,696
Efficiency rate = 1.5888343
Efficiency rate = 1.59
3. Quality rate = Good units produced / Total units produced
Quality rate = 12,670 / 18,100
Quality rate = 0.70
4. Overall Equipment Effectiveness = Utilization rate * Efficiency rate * Quality rate
Overall Equipment Effectiveness = 0.89 * 1.59 * 0.70
Overall Equipment Effectiveness = 0.99057
Overall Equipment Effectiveness = 0.991
The utilization rate is 0.89 and the efficiency rate is 1.59.
From the information given, the utilization rate will be:
= Operating time/Scheduled time
= 5,696/6,400
= 0.89
The efficiency rate will be:
= (Total output / Ideal run rate) / Operating time
= (18,100/2) / 5,696
= 9,050 / 5,696
= 1.59
The quality rate will be:
= Good units produced / Total unit
= 12,670 / 18,100
= 0.70
The overall equipment effectiveness will be:
= Utilization rate × Efficiency rate × Quality rate
= 0.89 × 1.59 × 0.70
= 0.991
