A manufacturing firm is considering two locations for a plant to produce a new product. The two locations have fixed and variable costs as follows: Location FC (annual) VC (per unit) Atlanta $ 80,000 $ 20 Phoenix $ 140,000 $ 16 If the annual demand will be 20,000 units, what would be the cost advantage of the better location? HINT: Compare the total costs Select one: a. 40000 b. 20000 c. 460000 d. 60000

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost Advantage of different locations:

b. $20,000

Phoenix certainly had a cost advantage over Atlanta and based on this factor, it should be chosen for the new plant instead of any other city.

Explanation:

a) Total Costs of different locations:

                        Atlanta       Phoenix

Fixed Cost      $80,000     $140,000

Variable cost  400,000      320,000

Total Costs  $480,000    $460,000

b) Variable costs

                                   Atlanta       Phoenix

Annual Demand        20,000        20,000

Variable cost/unit        $20              $16

Total variable cost  $400,000  $320,000

c) Cost Advantage is the competitive edge which location (or company) can have over another through reduced production or marketing costs or both so that it can offer cheaper prices or use excess profits to bolster promotion or distribution.   In this case, the comparison is on the total cost, which is made of variable and fixed costs.

Investment Management Inc. (IMI) uses the capital market line to make asset allocation recommendations. IMI derives the
following forecasts:

• Expected return on the market portfolio: 12%.
• Standard deviation on the market portfolio: 20%.
• Risk-free rate: 5%.

Samuel Johnson seeks 'Ml's advice for a portfolio asset allocation. Johnson informs IMI that he wants the standard deviation of the portfolio to equal half of the standard deviation for the market portfolio. Using the capital market line, what expected return can IMI provide subject to Johnson's risk constraint?

Answers

Answer:

The expected return that IMI can provide subject to Johnson's risk constraint is 8.5%

Explanation:

Capital Market Line (CML)

Expected return on the market portfolio, E([tex]r_m[/tex]) = 12 %

Standard deviation on the market portfolio, σ[tex]_p[/tex] = 20%

Risk-free rate, [tex]r_f[/tex] = 5%

E([tex]r_c[/tex]) =  [tex]r_f[/tex] + [  E([tex]r_p[/tex])  - [tex]r_f[/tex] ] × ( σ[tex]_c[/tex] ÷ σ[tex]_p[/tex])

         = 0.05 + [ 0.12 - 0.05] × (0.10 ÷ 0.20)

= 8.5%

Which of the following is NOT a pitfall an organization should avoid in strategic planning? Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner" Failing to communicate the plan to employees Failing to create a collaborative climate supportive of change Top managers not actively supporting the strategic-planning process Doing strategic planning only to satisfy accreditation or regulatory requirements

Answers

Answer:

Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner"

Explanation:

Strategic planning is a process of establishing the direction of a business. It assesses where the business is and where it is going. And the action plan needed to get to it's goal.

Delegating planning to a planner rather than involving all managers is an identified pitfall in strategic planning.

This is why Involving all managers rather than delegating planning to a "planner" is the correct answer since we are required to identify a non pitfall by the question.

Calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency.

Answers

Answer:

The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

Explanation:

In order to calculate the manufacturing cycle efficiency we would have to calculate the following formula:

manufacturing cycle efficiency=value added time/throughput time

value added time= 40 min

throughput time=Process time+Inspection time+movie time+Queue time

throughput time=40+5+15+2+120

throughput time=182 min

Therefore, manufacturing cycle efficiency=40/182

manufacturing cycle efficiency=0.219

The manufacturing cycle efficiency is 0.219

(LaVilla) LaVilla is a village in the Italian Alps. Given its enormous popularity among
Swiss, German, Austrian, and Italian skiers, all of its beds are always booked in the winter
season and there are, on average, 1,200 skiers in the village. On average, skiers stay in
LaVilla for 10 days.
a. How many new skiers are arriving—on average—in LaVilla every day?
b. A study done by the largest hotel in the village has shown that skiers spend on average $50 per person on the first day and $30 per person on each additional day in local
restaurants. The study also forecasts that—due to increased hotel prices—the average
length of stay for the 2003/2004 season will be reduced to five days. What will be the
percentage change in revenues of local restaurants compared to last year (when skiers
still stayed for 10 days)? Assume that hotels continue to be fully booked!
Q2.6 (Highway) While driving home for the holidays, you can’t seem to get Little’s Law out of

Answers

Answer:

  a) 120 skiers per day

  b) 6.25% increase in revenue

Explanation:

a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.

__

b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...

  50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n

and the average spending per day is ...

  (20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30

So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...

  20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day

And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...

  20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day

The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...

  (34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%

Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.

A company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $90,000. Predicted annual cash inflows from this investment are $36,000 (year 1), $30,000 (year 2), $18,000 (year 3), $12,000 (year 4) and $6,000 (year 5). The payback period is:

Answers

Answer:

3.5 years

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested from the cumulative cash flows.

The amount invested is $-90,000

In the first year , $-90,000 + $36,000 = $-54,000 is recovered

In the second year, $-54,000 + $30,000 = $-24,000 is recovered

In the third year, $-24,000 + $18,000 = $-6,000 is recovered

In the fourth year, $-6,000 + $12,000 = $6000 is recovered.

By the fourth year, the total amount invested is recovered as the cash flow turns postive

Pay back period = 3 years + $6000/$12,000 = 3.5 years

A company currently pays a dividend of $3.4 per share (D0 = $3.4). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a rate of 17% per year for the next 2 years, and then at a constant rate of 5% thereafter. The company's stock has a beta of 1.3, the risk-free rate is 6.5%, and the market risk premium is 1.5%. What is your estimate of the stock's current price? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

Current price of stock =$128.06

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.

The model is given as

P = D× g/(r-g)

P- price, D- dividend payable in year 1, r -cost of equity, g - growth rate in dividend

Cost of equity

The cost of equity can be calculated using the Capital Asset Model (CAPM).

Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

Ke =? , Rf- 6.5%, (Rm-Rf)- 1.5, β- 1.3

Ke=6.5% + 1.3× (1.5)= 8.45%

Stock price

PV of dividend in year 1 = 3.4× 1.17× 1.0845^(-1)=3.668

PV of dividend in year 2 =  3.4× 1.17^2× 1.0845^(-2) = 3.9572

PV of dividend in year 3

This will be done in two(2) steps:

Step 1- PV in year 2 terms

3.4× 1.17^2× 1.05/(0.0845- 0.05)= 141.651

Step 2- PV in year 0

141.6513913× 1.0845^(-2)= 120.4375

Current piece of stock =  3.668  + 3.957  + 120.4375 = 128.062

Current price of stock =$128.062

   

Kat Outfitting currently has $22,500 in cash. The company owes $49,500 to suppliers for merchandise and $52,500 to the bank for a long-term loan. Customers owe the company $41,000 for their purchases. The inventory has a book value of $76,800 and an estimated market value of $72,000. If the store compiled a balance sheet as of today, what would be the book value of the current assets?

Answers

Answer:

The book value of the current assets is $140,300

Explanation:

Cash = $22,500

Amount owed by company = $49,500

Amount Owed by Customers = $41,000

Book Value of Inventory  = $76,800

Estimated market value = $72,000

Book Value of Current Assets = Cash + Amount Owed by Customers + Book Value of Inventory

Book Value of Current Assets = $22,500 + $41,000 + $76,800

Book Value of Current Assets = $140,300

Statement of Retained Earnings

As of November 30,2017

Retained earnings 1 Dec. 2016         $14,200

Net income after taxes                       32,900

Dividends                                         ($12,000)

Retained earnings, Nov. 30, 2017 $35,100

b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:

1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)

= $32,900/$884,000 x 100

= 3.72%

2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)

= $269,700/$884,000 x 100

= 30.51%

c. If the net sales increases by 15%, the Net sales = $1,016,600 ($884,000 x 1.15)

If Gross profit increases by $40,443, the Gross profit = $310,143 ($269,700 + $40,443)

If Expenses increase by $58,600, the total operating Expenses = $282,400 ($223,800 + $58,600)

Revised Net Income:

Gross Profit                                              $310,143

Total operating expenses                     (282,400)

Income from operations                          $27,743

Other revenues:

Gain from Disposal of Plant Assets         $2,000  

Other expenses:

Interest Expense                                     ($5,000)

Income before Income Taxes               $24,743

Income Tax Expense                            ($10,000)

Net Income After Taxes                        $14,743

b) The profitability ratios are computed as follows:

1. Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales x 100)

= $14,743/$1,016,600 x 100

= 1.45%

2. Gross Profit rate = Gross Profit/Net Sales x 100)

= $310,143/$1,016,600 x 100

= 30.51%

d. With the proposed changes, the gross profit rate remains the same (without any impact) because the net sales increased by the same rate (15%) as the cost of goods sold and the gross profit.

However, the net income reduced drastically, especially with the income tax remaining the same amount.

Thus, without the income tax effect, there is no merit in this proposal as it reduced the net income margin from 3.72% to 1.45%.

Professional corporation

Explanation:

A professional corporation is a type of corporation that is established by professional, majorly licensed individuals; they could include doctors, attorneys or architects. They mostly provide services that are related to the profession they practice. For example, architects establish an architectural firm to provide architectural services.

Professional corporations are usually established based on the laws binding the profession or the laws of the state. Most professional entrepreneurs can set up a professional corporation and can be established by one or more professionals.

In most professional corporations, the shareholders are usually only licensed individuals of the service rendered by the professional company.

Therefore, considering the information, Zoey's corporation would be a professional corporation.

Granite Construction Company is considering selling excess machinery with a book value of $328,100 (original cost of $449,200 less accumulated depreciation of $121,100) for $222,800, less a 6% brokerage commission. Alternatively, the machinery can be leased for a total of $217,860 for five years, after which it is expected to have no residual value. During the period of the lease, Granite Construction Company’s costs of repairs, insurance, and property tax expenses are expected to be $16,708.
Required:
A. Prepare a differential analysis, dated November 7 to determine whether Granite should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the machinery.
B. On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to lease or sell the machinery? Explain.

Hi-Tech, Inc., reports net income of $65.0 million. Included in that number are depreciation expense of $5.5 million and a loss on the sale of equipment of $1.5 million. Records reveal increases in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory of $2.5 million, $3.5 million, and $4.5 million, respectively. What are Hi-Tech's net cash flows from operating activities?

Answers

Answer:

Net Cash Flows from operating activities is $68.5 million.

Explanation:

The indirect Method would be used here because all we will find the cash expenses and revenues that were converted into within the year and are reported in the income statement by calculating the increase and decrease in the current assets and current liabilities. Here we will also eliminate the non cash expense effects by adding them back.

The net cash flows from operating activities can be calculated using the following method:

                                                                 Millions

1. Net Income                                                65

Add Non Cash Deductions

2. Depreciation                                             5.5

3. Loss on sale of Equipment                       1.5

Add / (Less) the increase or

decrease in current Assets or

liabilities

4. Increase in Trade Receivables                (2.5)

5. Increase in Trade Payables                      3.5

6. Increase in inventory                               (4.5)

Net Cash Flows from operating activities $68.5

Statement of cash flow ( year-end December 31, 2012)

Operating activities Cashflow

Net Income                         = $5,000,000

Add back: Depreciation     = $440,000

Net cashflow                      = $5,440,000

Investing activities Cashflow

Cash paid for machinery   = ($5,400,000)

Net cashflow                      = ($5,400,000)

Financing activities Cashflow

Cash receipt from issuing long term debt  =$1,000,000

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts an income survey of about 60,000 American families carefully selected to represent the whole population. The data collected help to measure income inequality in the economy. Which of the following causes the census data to inaccurately measure income inequality?
a) Very few people move from one income quintile to another over the years.
b) Higher-income families tend to have more persons to support.
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.

Answers

Answer:

c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.

Explanation:

In the given scenario the aim of the census is to measure income inequality in the population selected.

If however the amount of income earned by individuals is not estimated accurately the results of the study will be inaccurate.

In kind transfers are usually goods and services that a person gets for free of at a reduced rate. They are not considered to be income.

When in kind transfers are counted as income and do not actually add up to income, we cannot get a true picture of income of participants of the income survey.

People who have low income but high in kind transfers will be considered high income earners which is not true.

a) Differential Analysis dated November 12

Options         Reject (Alternative 1)     Special Order   Accept (Alternative 2)

Units sold                45,700                        19,600                  65,300

Revenue                $1,828,000              $646,800              $2,474,800

Variable Cost          -1,371,000                -588,000                -1959,000

Net Income/(Loss) -$195,800                 $58,800                 -$137,000

b) Accepting this order will reduce operating loss from $195,800 to $137,000, making a difference of $58,800.  The reason is that the special order will make a contribution towards offsetting the fixed cost with a sum of $58,800.

c) Minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution margin:

The contribution margin per unit = Selling price minus variable cost per unit = $40 - $30 = $10 per unit.

To produce positive contribution margin, selling price must be more than variable cost.  Selling price will be at least $31.

Therefore, the minimum price per unit to produce positive contribution is $31.

Explanation:

a) In differential analysis, only relevant costs are considered.  Fixed costs are regarded as sunk and therefore irrelevant in making any differential decision.

b) The revenue is a function of selling price and quantity sold.  While the variable costs equal units sold multiplied by the unit variable cost.

Karen Bartlett was given a generic version of Sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug. The result was that she developed toxic epidermal necrolysis, a disease that disfigured and blinded her. She brought suit alleging that there were warnings that should have been put on the generic version of the drug because issues with the skin infections were being reported. However, the manufacturer to Sulindac did not have FDA approval to place the warning on the product. The jury awarded Ms. Bartlett $21 million, and the generic manufacturer appealed the decision. Which of the following theories would be the best approach for the generic manufacturer to take in order to have the verdict reversed?

a. the commerce clause
b. substantive due process
c. preemption
d. due process because of the excessive size of the verdict

Answers

Answer:

option c: Preemption

Explanation:

preemption can simply be defined as the rule of law that proclaims the federal law and the constitution as the supreme law in all the land so therefore if there is a case  whereby there is a conflict between a federal and a state law, the federal law will be in absolute control and this will render the state law to be void.

there are two  primary occasion that will warrant preemption  they are where clearly, federal law preempts state or local law, and  also where preemption is implied.  different kind of preemption can also be said to be express preemption, implied preemption, field preemption, conflict preemption and frustration of purpose preemption.

If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient quantity of resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. The efficient allocation of resources would result in the production of kegs of beer.

Answers

Answer:

1. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer.

2. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer.

Explanation:

1. If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, the marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost which means that: the society values this quantity of kegs of beer and would be more beneficial and efficient if the society devote more resources to beer production.

2. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, where marginal cost equal marginal benefit, it means that this is a good point in which shows an efficient allocation of resources to beer production because the marginal cost of the resources is equal to the marginal benefit of each keg of beer.

If 4 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost, which means that :

It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beers.

Reason :

the advantage of an additional unit of producing a good is more than the cost of producing it.hence it is good to produce more where marginal benefit equals marginal cost.

If 12 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal cost exceeds the marginal benefit, which means that :

It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beers.

Reason :

the advantage of an additional unit of producing a good is less than the cost of producing it.hence it is good to produce less where marginal benefit equals marginal cost.

= Unit overhead cost $3.60

Plantwide rate Will be :

$480,000/25,000

= $19.20 per direct labor hour

Form A overhead cost in units will be:

$19.20 ×6,000/30,000

$19.20×0.2

$3.84

Form B overhead cost in unit will be :

$19.20 ×19,000/50,000

c) Ending Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold under Weighted Average:

Beginning Inventory,  17 units at $15each   $255

Plus Purchases:

 June 12  Purchase, 5 units at $19each         95

 June 24 Purchase, 11 units at $23each      253

Cost of Goods Available for Sale                $603

Less Ending Inventory                                    109.62

Cost of Goods Sold                                    $493.38

2. Ending Inventory = 6 units (17 units + 5 - 14 + 11 - 13)

                                         FIFO                    LIFO             Weighted Average

Ending Inventory value = $23 *6 = $138;  $15 *6 = $90;  $18.27 *6 = $109.62

Weighted Average = Cost of Goods Available for Sale / Quantity Available for Sale = $603/33 = $18.27 per unit

Explanation:

FIFO: First In, First Out:  This is a method of costing inventory which assumes that goods remaining in stock are those that were brought in last.  This means that goods are sold out according to the time they are bought, with earlier bought goods being sold before later bought goods.

LIFO: Last In, First Out:  This costing method assumes that goods that are sold are those that were bought later leaving those bought earlier to remain in stock.  The entity using this method exhausts the last quantity bought before selling the earlier quantities.

Weighted Average: This is another technique which weighs the averages of the cost of inventory before determining the value of inventory.  The weighted average method divides the cost of the goods available for sale by the number of those units still on the shelf.  The result is the weighted average cost per unit, which can be used to assign a cost to both the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold.

You have been asked to analyze the bids for 200 polished disks used in solar panels. These bids have been submitted by three suppliers: Thailand Polishing, India Shine, and Sacramento Glow. Thailand Polishing has submitted a bid of 3,000 baht. India Shine has submitted a bid of 3,000 rupee. Sacramento Glow has submitted a bid of $3,000. You check with your local bank and find that $1=10 baht , and $1=8 rupee. The final destination for the disks is New Delhi, India and there is a 35% import tax. Thailand Polishing and Sacramento Glow are based outside of India and India Shine is based in India.A .What is the price per unit in dollars, including import tax for Thailand polishing?B. What is the price per unit for India Shine?C. What is the price per unit for Sacramento Glow?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Thailand polishing price per unit is $2.03

(b) India shine price per unit is $1.88

(c) Sacramento glow price per unit is $15

Explanation:

(a) Thailand polishing:

Thailand polishing has submitted a quote of 3000 baht

$1 = 10 bhat

1 bhat = $ 0.1

Thailand polishing submitted bid = 3000 × $0.1 =$300

Import tax = 35%

Total cost = 1.35 × 300 = $405

Cost per unit = 405 ÷ 200 = $2.03

(b) India shine:

India shine has submitted a bid of 3000 rupees

$1 = 8 rupees

1 Rupee = $0.125

India shine submitted bid = 3000 × 0.125 = $375

Price per unit = 375 ÷ 200 = $1.88

(c) Sacramento Glow submitted bid = $3,000

price per unit = $3,000 ÷ 200

= $15
