You paid $9,700 for a $10,000 par value Treasury bill maturing in 3 months. What is the holding-period return if you hold the treasury bill until maturity
Answer:
The holding-period return if the treasury bill is held until maturity is:
= $300.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Par value of Treasury bill = $10,000
Price paid for the bill = 9,700
Holding-period return = $300
Maturity period of the bill = 3 months
b) The holding-period return, otherwise called the yield, is the total return earned on the Treasury bill investment during the 3 months that it is held. The holding period is the 3-months time the Treasury bill is held by an investor, which corresponds to the period between the purchase date and sale date of the Treasury bill.

Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)
Weighted-average unit cost $____
Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
FIFO LIFO Average Cost
$____ $____ $_______
Answer:
a. Weighted-average unit cost = $9.092
b. We have:
Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = $290
Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = $232
Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = $264
Explanation:
a. Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)
Weighted-average unit cost = Total Cost of units of inventory available for sale / Total units of units of inventory available for sale = $891 / 98 = $9.092
b. Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Ending inventory in units = Total units of units of inventory available for sale – Units sold = 98 - 69 = 29
Therefore, we have:
Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of purchases on May 24 = 29 * $10 = $290
Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of inventory on May 1 = 29 * $8 = $232
Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = Ending inventory in units * Weighted-average unit cost = 29 * $9.092 = $264

Answer:
it can return to an earlier stage through creative marketing.
Explanation:
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.
Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;
1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.
A product that is at the decline stage is generally referred to as a failed product and wouldn't generate profit or much revenue for the manufacturer because it has little economic importance.
However, once a good or service nears the end of its product life cycle i.e it's at the decline stage, the business firm recognizes that it can return to an earlier stage where it offers satisfaction to the consumers and generate revenue, through creative marketing.
Marketing can be defined as the process of developing promotional techniques and sales strategies by a firm, so as to enhance the availability of goods and services to meet the needs of the end users or consumers through advertising and market research. Thus, it comprises of all the activities such as, identifying, anticipating set of medium and processes for creating, promoting, delivering, and exchanging goods and services that has value for customers. It typically, involves understanding customer needs, building and maintaining healthy relationships with them in order to scale up your business.
Juniper Design Ltd. of Manchester, England, is a company specializing in providing design services to residential developers. Last year the company had net operating income of $430,000 on sales of $1,300,000. The companyâs average operating assets for the year were $1,500,000 and its minimum required rate of return was 10%.
Required:Compute the companyâs residual income for the year.Average Operating Assets-Net Operating Income-Minimum required return-Residual income-
Answer: $280,000
Explanation:
Residual income can be calculated by the formula:
= Net operating income - (Average operating asset * Minimum required rate)
= 430,000 - (1,500,000 * 10%)
= 430,000 - 150,000
= $280,000
A cost-benefit analysis of a highway is difficult to conduct because analysts a. are unlikely to have access to costs on similar projects. b. cannot estimate the explicit cost of a project that has not been completed. c. are not able to consider the opportunity cost of resources. d. will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.
Answer:
d. will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.
Explanation:
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is used to examine and compare the cost associated with a project or task and the benefits derived from it.
Simply stated, cost-benefit analysis is a form of utilitarianism commonly used by individuals, business firms and government in the decision-making process, as all the cost incurred are determined and analyzed.
This ultimately implies that, it may be used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) sums the total cost associated with a project (activity) and compares this cost against the total benefits that would be generated. Thus, it helps in the decision-making process by comparing the net present value (NPV) of the cost of a particular project with the net present value (NPV) of its benefits.
In this context, the cost-benefit analysis of a highway would be difficult to conduct because analysts will have difficulty estimating the value of the highway.
This ultimately implies that, the value or cost benefits associated with the highway is difficult to ascertain or estimate.

Which per unit cost does the slope of the total cost line represent? Group of answer choices Fixed Variable. Semivariable Step-variable
Answer: Variable cost
Explanation:
The slope of a regression line is meant to represent the change in the total variable or y, as a result of a change in the number of independent observations or x.
The cost that changes during production as a result of an increase in x which is the volume of products, is the variable cost so it is the slope of the total cost line,
Slope of total cost line:
y = mx + c
y = total cost
m = variable cost. m is also slope.
x = production volume
c = fixed cost

Debit office supplies expenses $315 Credit office supplies account $315
The sources of economic growth are _______. A. work hours growth and labor productivity growth B. democracy and labor productivity growth C. job experience and low inflation D. work hours growth and a stable government
Answer:
A. work hours growth and labor productivity growth
Explanation:
An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.
Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.
Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;
I. Mixed economy.
II. Free market economy.
III. Traditional economy.
IV. Command economy.
Generally, the sources of economic growth of a country are work hours growth and labor productivity growth.
Labor (working) is simply the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.

A company would like to invest in a capital budget project that will be worth $500,000 in 40 years. How much should this company invest today, assuming an average inflation rate of 2% and a 10% annual return
Answer:
Company needs to invest amount = $23000
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of the present value:
Given the future value, FV = $500000
Number of years, n = 40 years
Real interest rate = 10% - 2% = 8%
Present value = ?
Present value = FV (P/F, r, n)
Present value = $500000 (P/F, 8%, 40)
Present value = $500000 (0.046)
Present value = $23000
Company needs to invest amount = $23000
A company has an overhead application rate of 124% of direct labor costs. How much overhead would be allocated to a job if it required total labor costing $24,000?
Answer:
$29,760
Explanation:
Overhead application rate = 124% of direct labor cost
The required total labor costing = $24,000
Total overhead applied = Overhead application rate * $24,000
Total overhead applied = 124% * $24000
Total overhead applied = $29,760

Lakeview Engine, Inc., produces engines for the watercraft industry. An outside manufacturer has offered to supply several component parts used in the engine assemblies, which are currently being produced by Lakeview. The supplier will charge Lakeview $325 per engine for the set of parts. Lakeview’s current costs for those part sets are direct materials, $145; direct labor, $85; and manufacturing overhead applied at 100% of direct labor. Variable manufacturing overhead is considered to be 20% of the total, and fixed overhead will not change if the part sets are acquired from the outside supplier.
What would be the net cost advantage or disadvantage if Lakeview decided to purchase the parts?
Answer:
Lakeview Engine, Inc.
The net cost disadvantage if Lakeview decided to purchase the parts from the supplier per part is:
= $78
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price by outside supplier per engine = $325
Current costs of manufacturing the engine:
Direct materials per unit = $145
Direct labor per unit = $85
Variable manufacturing overhead (20%) = $17
Fixed manufacturing overhead (80%) = $68
Total variable manufacturing cost per unit = $247
Incremental Analysis:
Make Buy Incremental
Production costs:
Variable manufacturing costs per unit:
Direct materials per unit $145
Direct labor per unit $85
Variable manufacturing per unit $17
Total variable manufacturing costs $247 $325 $78
b) Therefore, it costs more to Lakeview to buy the part from the outside supplier than it does when it makes it internally. Lakeview should continue making the parts.

As discussed in the lecture video, Crocs’ plastic molding and sandal design capabilities have provided the firm with only a temporary competitive advantage, as incumbent firms began selling sandals that were very similar to the Crocs’ clogs. Crocs lost its competitive advantage primarily because of ___________
Answer: c. competitor imitation
Explanation:
When a company makes a good product that people like and therefore brings in profit, other companies will copy that product if it is not protected by law so that they too can make profit as well.
This is what happened to the Crocs' clogs. Other companies imitated them and so Crocs lost their competitive advantage. This led to prices falling for such footwear as the supply increased. It is for this reason that companies try to get patents when they make a product.
Avery Company has two divisions, Polk and Bishop. Polk produces an item that Bishop could use in its production. Bishop currently is purchasing 26,000 units from an outside supplier for $16 per unit. Polk is currently operating at less than its full capacity of 630,000 units and has variable costs of $9 per unit. The full cost to manufacture the unit is $12. Polk currently sells 460,000 units at a selling price of $18 per unit.
a. What will be the effect on Avery Company’s operating profit if the transfer is made internally?
b. What is the minimum transfer price from Polk’s perspective?
c. What is the maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective?
Answer:
a. The effect is that Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.
b. Minimum transfer price = $9
c. Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = $16.
Explanation:
a. What will be the effect on Avery Company’s operating profit if the transfer is made internally?
To determine this, fixed cost is ignored because it considered irrelevant. Therefore, we have:
Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside - Variable cost of production internally = $16 - $9 = $7
Total increment in operating profit = Current purchase unit of Bishop * Profit per unit = 26,000 * $7 = $182,000
Therefore, Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.
b. What is the minimum transfer price from Polk’s perspective?
Since Polk is currently operating at less than its full capacity, this implies that it will not incur additional fixed cost to produce current purchase units of Bishop. Therefore, only its variable cost of $9 will have to recovered. By implication, we have:
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $9
c. What is the maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective?
Any price that is higher than $16 at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier will result in a loss for Bishop and the increment profit of $182,000 will be lost by Avery Company. This therefore implies that:
Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = Price at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier = $16
The strategic plan of a solar energy company that manufactures high-efficiency solar cells includes an expansion of its physical plant in 4 years. The manager in charge of planning estimates the expenditure required to be $1.17 million in 4 years. The company plans to sets aside $1 million now into an account that earns interest equal to the rate of inflation. What will the inflation rate have to be in order for the company to have exactly the right amount of money for the expansion?
a) 4%
b) 2%
c) Unknown
d) 6%
Answer:
The answer is "Option a".
Explanation:
Given:
FV=1.17
PV=1
n=4
We are aware of a future value formula that is:
[tex]FV = PV\times (1 + i)^n[/tex]
Put the value into the above formula:
[tex]\to 1.17 = 1\times (1 + i)^{4}\\\\\to 1.04 = (1 + i)\\\\\to 1.04 -1 = i\\\\\to i=0.04\\\\[/tex]
Calculating the percentage of i= 4%
Therefore The rate of interest is equivalent to the inflation rate, which is projected predicted, according to global meta and experts, The Us will reach 5.70 percent even by conclusion of the this year. In the future, we anticipate that the inflation rate in the US is 3.20 in twelve months.

Answer:
A- In some countries, like China and India, it is not customary to publicly disclose company financial information. B- In countries with high power distance, where inequality between managers and employees is expected, companies may have difficulty using open-book management.Explanation:
Using open book management would mean disclosing financial information to ensure that employees know how best to use that information to push the company forward. If this is looked down upon in a country like in China and India, Recology would not be able to properly implement its open-book management style so it should take that into consideration.
This is the same problem as countries with high power distance. Inequality is expected and even encouraged between managers and employees yet Recology practices open-book management which actually tries to reduce this equality so Recology needs to properly consider such countries before they move in.
The managers must take into consideration when deciding where and how to operate is that;
