Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Ultimately I agree with the recommendation that has been given by Connor's coworker. By maximizing the shelf space specifically devoted to these drinks it will cause two things to happen. First, customers will mostly notice those drinks which will entice them to buy those drinks instead of the ones they cannot see. The second is that since customers are buying more of these drinks, the increase in sales will also increase profits, but since these items contribution margins are significantly higher than the others, it will cause profits to drastically increase.

Answer:

$5,950

Explanation:

Boulder incorporation reported the following data for year 1

Sales revenue= $13,000

Depreciation= $4,000

Other operating costs= $6,000

Tax rate= 35%

The first step is to calculate the EBIT

= sales revenue-operating costs-depreciation

= $13,000-$6,000-$4,000

= $3,000

Therefore, the cash flow for year 1 can be calculated as follows

= 3,000×35/100

= 3,000×0.35

= 1,050

= 3,000-1,050

= 1,950

Cash flow= 4,000+1,950

= $5,950

Hence the cash flow for year 1 is $5,950

Answer:

$671.13

Explanation:

Abby had a checkbook balance of $1,002.45

$76.98 was paid to the electric company

$254.34 was paid to the water company

Therefore the current checkbook balance can be calculated as follows

=$1,002.45-($76.98+$254.34)

= $1,002.45-$331.32

= $671.13

Hence Abby's current checkbook balance is $671.13

Answer:

0.296875

Explanation:

Given the following :

Probability distribution of risky funds :

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)

Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%

Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%

Correlation between funds return = 0.15

Sure rate = 5.5%

To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :

Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment

For the stock fund :

Expected return = 15%

Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%

Standard deviation = 32%

Sharpe ratio of stock fund :

(15% - 5.5%) / 32%

= 9.5% / 32%

= 0.296875

For Bond fund :

Expected return = 9%

Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%

Standard deviation = 23%

Sharpe ratio of bond fund :

(9% - 5.5%) / 23%

= 3.5% / 23%

= 0.1521739

Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875

Answer: D. an understatement of expenses and an overstatement of owners' equity

Explanation:

If a purchase of merchandise was not recorded, it would mean that Purchases being an expense that contributes to the Cost of Goods sold would be understated.

This understatement would mean that the the Net income is overstated because the purchase expenses were never deducted from it. Net Income is part of owners' equity so if it is overstated, so is owners' equity .

Answer:

14.25%

Explanation:

For computing the total real return first we have to find out the present value and the required return which is shown below:

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 4.5%

NPER = 11 years

PMT = $1,000 × 6.6% = $66

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula the present value is $1,179.11

Now the required return is

= ($1,179.11 + $66) ÷ ($1,056) -1

= 17.91%

And finally,

total real return

= ($1.1791 ÷ 1.032) - 1

= 14.25%

Answer:

The answer is:

1. Commodity

2. Fiat

Explanation:

We have two questions here.

First, the answer is commodity money. Commodity money is the type of money whose value are tied to the commodity it is made up of. This is used as a medium of exchange when the value of money falls totally (during inflation or hyperinflation.) Examples of commodity money can be gold, cocoa,copper etc.

Second question. The answer is fiat money. Fiat money is the currency issued by the national government of a country through The Fed(in US) or Central banks (in most countries).

The fiat money in US is the US dollar, for Nigeria is Nigerian naira etc. It is a legal tender in those countries.

Answer:

Consequences arising when auditors fail to identify and report on going-concern problems:

1. The purpose of the audit is defeated.

2. Credibility in the audit process and opinion is eroded.

3. Confidence in the efficiency of market information is shattered.

4. Investors and the general public are misinformed and misled.

5. More governmental oversight and regulations will be required.

6. The auditors involved may have their licenses withdrawn and the audit firm could be closed like Arthur Andersen.

Explanation:

For instance, Company A's auditors are always expected to identify and report on going-concern issues of the company.  Failure to identify and report on problems affecting going-concern means that Company A could be at the risk of liquidation and auditors still report it as if it were continuing in business for the next foreseeable future.   That means that Company A's assets and liabilities are reported in the Balance Sheet as if the business could continue indefinitely, whereas the assets and liabilities should have been reported on a sale-out basis.

The auditors involved in making the wrong conclusion about Company A will be sued with huge damages  and their license may be withdrawn, assuming that Company A is unable to survive the next 12 months after being reported on by the auditors.

Answer:

prioritize goals according to their value to the organization

Explanation:

Goal setting is an action plan that is set to motivate someone towards achieving a goal. Individuals, organizations set goals as part of their personal development plans hence must be Specific, Measurable, Action oriented, Realistic and Timely(SMART).

With regards to the above scenario, prioritizing goals according to their value to the organization is wrong. While it is important to prioritize goals, such must however be made to align with the business's strategic objectives.

It is also important to stick to goals already set instead of constantly changing them. Sometimes too, customers put pressure on business owners to consider certain goals which might be beneficial; such should also be looked into after considering their pros and cons.

Answer: $50.83

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:

r = required return = 10.6% = 0.106

D0 = Dividend = 3.29

g = growth rate = 4.4% = 0.044

The price per share of the company's stock will be:

= D0(1 + g)/(r - g)

= 3.29(1 + 0.044)/(0.106 - 0.044)

= 3.29(1.044)/(0.062)

= 3.15134/0.062

= $50.83

Answer:

EOQ = 414 rolls

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of orders to minimize the cost, we should calculate that by using the Economic order quantity model.

DATA

Holding cost = $1.75/unit

Annual demand = 500 rolls x 12 = 6000 rolls

Ordering cost = $25

Formula

EOQ =[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2Cod}{Ch} }[/tex]

Where

Co = ordering cost

D = Annual demand

Ch = Holding cost

Solution

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2(6000)(25)}{1.75} }[/tex]

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{300000}{1.75} }[/tex]

EOQ = 414 rolls

They should order 414 rolls to minimize the cost.

Answer:

119 units

Explanation:

The economic order quantity is the minimum amount of inventory that a seller must keep to demand and lower the holding cost. The ordering cost is $25 per order. Holding cost is $1.75 per unit. The total demand is 500 units per month. The economic order quantity that will minimize the cost of the GoT cups is

EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*Demand*ordering cost}{Holding cost} }[/tex]

EOQ is 119 units.

Answer:

i think it would be 4x

Explanation:

im dumb

Answer:

The minimum annual revenue is 22.38 million.

Explanation:

Let the minimum annual revenue = X

Therefore,

The present value of cash inflows = Present value of cash outflows

X (P/A,15%,15) + 20 (P/F,15%,15)= 49*1 + 14(P/A,15%,15)

Now look into the annuity table or compound interest factor table and use that values to solve the equation.

X(5.847) + 20 (0.1229) = 49 + 14 (5.847)

X(5.847) = 130.858

X = 130.858 / 5.847

X = 22.38 millions

The minimum annual revenue = 22.38 million.

Answer:

Negative NPV.

Explanation:

present value of cost exceeds present value of revenue that is been assumed in the investment plan of the said company/firm.

Net Present Value describes one of the discounted techniques of cash flow used in capital budget to determining the viability of a project or an investment. It is seen to have a huge difference between the present flow of the firms; which is cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time. Experts has tagged its primary advantage to be that it is seen to considers the concept of the time value of money.

Answer:

WACC = 12.14%

Explanation:

Cost of debt = 9.5% x (1 - 35%) = 6.175%

Cost of preferred stock = 11.5%

Cost of equity (Re) = {D₁ / [P₀(1 - F)]} + g

Re = {($4.25 x 1.08) / [$65 x (1 - $4.25/$65)]} + 8% = ($4.59 / $60.75) + 8% = 15.56%

WACC = (15.55% x 0.55) + (6.175% x 0.30) + (11.5% x 0.15) = 8.56% + 1.85% + 1.73% = 12.14%

Answer:

The taxable amount at an ordinary rate = $5000

Explanation:

The selling price of a property in 2019 is = $28000

The depreciation on the property = $5000

Original purchased price of property = $15000

Adjusted tax = an orginal price – depreciation  

Adjusted tax = 15000 – 5000 = $10000

Gain = selling price – adjusted tax

Gain = 28000 – 10000 = $18000

The part of gain ($18000) that is taxable as ordinary rate = $5000

Here, $13000 will be taxed as section 1231 as a gained tax at capital gain rate.

Answer:

$26000

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

we first calculate collection flaot:

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate disbursements float:

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

= $26000

The depreciation of the US dollar means than HP will have to spend more dollars purchasing the company than before because the purchase price of the company will be stated in Jamaican dollars.

Answer:

Decision = Make

Explanation:

The incremental cost to buy and the incremental cost to make can be calculated as follows

DATA

Direct material = $4  (100% variable)

Direct labor = $8 (100% variable)

Overhead = $9 ( 70% fixed)

Total cost per unit = $21

Offered price = $18.5 per unit

Total units = 58,000

Solution

Incremental cost of making

Direct material ( 58,000 x $4) = $232,000

Direct labor (58,000 x $8) = $464,000

Overhead ( 58,000 x $9 x 30%) = $156,600

Total cost = $825,600

Incremental cost of buying

Total cost = No. of units x offered price

Total cost = 58,000 x $18.5

Total cost = $1,073,000

Decision: The company should make the product as the total cost to buy is $247,400 higher than the cost to make.
