Gretchen has just started as a fashion marketing intern for an up-and-coming design firm. When she came in, she was asked to work on a project identifying important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. She soon realized that this activity was part of _____________, directly related to marketing.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A push-pull strategy

Explanation:

The Push strategy is an aspect of marketing where the marketer aims at taking his products directly to a target audience. This is done so as to stimulate the interest of the consumer in that particular product. Developing brands tend to employ this strategy to showcase themselves to the consumer in hopes of getting them attracted to their products. This is the strategy which the up-and-coming design firm is trying to employ when they seek to identify important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. They engage in this activity because they want to showcase their designs to the target audience- the celebrities.

Pull strategy is the opposite of this strategy as customers are now aware of the reputation of the brand and then seek them out on their own.

Unfortunately, Tori doesn't have enough money in her account right now. She needs to make additional contributions at the end of each of the next three years to be able to pay for the repairs. Her account currently has $5,000, which, along with her additional contributions, is expected to continue earning 9% annual interest. If she makes equal contributions each year, how large must each contribution be for Tori to have $9,000 after three years

Answers

Answer:

Annual deposit= $770.22

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

PV= 5,000

FV= 9,000

i= 0.09

n= 3

First, we need to calculate the final value of the first $5,000. We will use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 5,000*1.09^3

FV= 6,475.15

Now, we calculate the annual deposits for the difference:

Investment difference= 9,000 - 6,475.15= 2,524.85

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (2,524.85*0.09) / [(1.09^3)-1]

A= $770.22

Analyzing Accounts Receivable Changes The comparative balance sheets of Sloan Company reveal that accounts receivable (before deducting allowances) increased by $15,000 in 2013. During the same time period, the allowance for uncollectible accounts increased by $2,100. If sales revenue was $120,000 in 2013 and bad debts expense was 2.5% of sales, how much cash was collected from customers during the year?

Answers

Answer:

Cash was collected from customers during the year was $ 104,100

Explanation:

Sales revenue = $120,000

Bad debt expense = 2.5% of sales

Therefore,  Bad debt expense = $120,000 x 2.5% = $3,000

Thus, allowance for uncollectible accounts should have increased by $3,000. But it increased by $2,100.

Therefore, uncollectible accounts receivable of $900 ($3,000 - $2,100) were written off during that year.

Cash collected from customers  = Sales revenue - Increase in accounts receivable - Uncollectible accounts written off

= $120,000 - $15,000 - $900

= $104,100

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials 7.7 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce $ 15.40

Purchases of raw materials 23,400 ounces

Actual cost of raw materials purchases $ 45,100

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 45,100/23,400= $1.93

Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.93)*23,400

Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable

The first year after you retire you want to be able to withdraw $100,000 from your savings account. Every year after that you want to increase your withdrawals by 2%. You expect that the account will earn 6% annual interest. How much money must you have in your savings account when you retire to make sure that your money lasts for 25 years

Answers

Answer:

Total amount of money to be had in savings is $1,544,352.63

Explanation:

First withdrawal is $100,000 and is increases by 2% every year till 25 years.

The amount required in savings account can be calculated by knowing the present value of growing annuity.

Annuity = [tex](p /(r-g) *[ 1 -(1+g / 1+r)^n][/tex]

given, p = $100,000

r = 6% = 0.06

g=2% = 0.02.

n = number of periods = 25.  

= (100,000 ÷ (0.06 - 0.02)) × [ 1 - (1.02 ÷ [tex]1.06)^{25[/tex] ]

= $2,500,000 × [1 - 0.382258949]

= $2,500,000 × 0.61774105

= $1,544,352.63

The objective here is to determine the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16

So, we can equally regard the Cycle Time = Bottleneck of Activity for Week 16.

Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute   in as much as it is the the largest activity time for the week 16

Given that the demand per week is : = 247

The available time per week = 40 hours = 40 × 60 hours = 2400 minutes

Talk Time = Available Time Per Week/Demand Per Week

Talk Time = 2400/247

Talk Time = 9.716599

Thus; here  the cycle time is greater than the talk time.

Answers

Answer:

$97,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cash receipts for the month of April is shown below:

= Cash sales in April + (Credit sales in February × following second month percentage) + (Credit sales in March x following month percentage)

= $40,000 + ($50,000 x 30%) + ($60,000 x 70%)

= $40,000 + $15,000 + $42,000

= $97,000

We simply added the cash sales for one month and the credit sales for two months so that the total cash receipts could come

When Sandra and Charles Givens were divorced, the court ordered a division of property and awarded Sandra $65,000. The award was a judgment against Charles, who failed to pay it. Sandra asked the court to find Charles in contempt. Their lawyers had a conference with the judge, and they agreed that Charles would pay $2500 immediately and $300 per month until the judgment was paid in full. Charles alleged that the new payment schedule was a binding contract, because Sandra had accepted his offer of payments. Was it a contract

Answers

Answer:

Yes, it is a binding contract.

Explanation:

A contract is a legal binding agreement between two or more parties at the court of law. The agreement could be in terms of money, services, right or duties between the parties involved.

Since a consent has been reached between the two parties before the judge, Charles would pay the sum in the stipulated manner. The acceptance of the offer of payment by Sandra made it a binding contract for Charles, so he is bound by this service until he pays the full amount to Sandra.

Luis and Amy are programmers employed by X Corp. They work in cubicles next to each other. Both have M.Sc. degrees in computer science (Luis also has a Ph.D. in philosophy). They are about the same age, and have been with the company since its birth. Luis codes games, while Amy codes a variety of projects. Although their work is different, both jobs require the same skill level. Luis makes $100,000 a year, while Amy makes $80,000. If Amy sues X Corp. because of the pay differential, what must she show? What might the company argue in defense? Who should win?

Answers

Answer:

If Amy sues X Corp. because of the pay differential, what must she show?

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits discrimination in payment on the basis of gender (and race and origin also). In this case, Amy must prove that her work requires the same skills as Luis's and that it provides the same value to the company. They both have a master's degree in computer science, but she must also show that Luis's Ph.D. is not important to their work.

What might the company argue in defense?

The company might argue two things:

That Luis has a higher education degree, since he has a Ph.D. That Luis's work is more specialized since he codes games, while Amy codes different projects. They would have to prove that the games that Luis codes are much more profitable and valuable to the company than the work Amy does.

Who should win?

If their work is similar, then Amy should win. If they are basically both doing the same job and require the same skills, therefore, the salary should be the same.

But if Luis's work is much more relevant and profitable for the company, then Amy would lose. If this is true, they might have to change Luis's compensation and reduce his salary but increase bonus compensation. This is true in all companies (or the vast majority of), e.g. the quarterback receives the highest salary since his job is more important for the team.

Answers

Answer:

$205,000

Explanation:

Let us assume Owners' equity at the beginning be X

So, the Increase in Owners' equity is $260,000 - X

As we know that

Accounting equation is

Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity

So,

Total Increase in Assets = Total Increase in Liabilities + Increase in Owners' equity

$134,000 = $79,000 + $260,000 - X

$134,000 = $339,000 - X

So, the X =

= $339,000 - $134,000

= $205,000

Answers

Answer:

Unitary variable cost= $1.72

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Mcleod, Inc. incurred fixed costs of $400,000.

Total​ costs= $450,000

Units produced= 59,000

First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:

Total variable cost= total cost - total fixed cost

Total variable cost= 450,000 - 400,000

Total variable cost= 50,000

Now, the unitary variable cost:

unitary variable cost= 50,000/29,000

unitary variable cost= $1.72

Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal, subscribers could receive the monthly newsletter throughout their lives by paying a flat fee of $480. The one-year subscription rate of $40 would continue to apply to new and existing subscribers who choose to subscribe on an annual basis. Assume that the average age of Evans Ltd.'s current subscribers is 38 and their average life expectancy is 78 years. Evans Ltd.'s average interest rate on long-term debt is 12%.
Using the information given, calculate the present value of a lifetime membership for an average. (Round PV factors to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd  average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

(3) Average collection period days days
(4) Inventory turnover times times
(5) Days in inventory days days

Answers

Answer:

Please find the detailed answer in the explanation section.

Explanation:

1. Current ratio = total current assets ÷ total current liabilities

For Coca-cola: $17,551 ÷ 13,721

= 1.28

For Pepsi : $12,571 ÷ $8,756

= 1.44

2.Accounts receivable turnover times times = Net sales ÷ average (net) accounts receivable

For Coca-cola: $30,990 ÷ $3,424

= 9.1

For Pepsi : $43,232 ÷ $4,654

= 9.3

3. Average collection period days days = (Accounts Receivable ÷ Net sales ) x 365 days

For coca-cola: ($3,424 ÷ 30,990) x 365 days

=40.3 days

For pepsi: ($4,654 ÷ $43,232) x 365 days

= 39.3 days

4. Inventory turnover times = Sales ÷ Inventory

For Coca-cola: $30,990 ÷ $2,271

=13.6

For Pepsi: $43,232 ÷ $2,570

=16.8

5.Days in inventory days = (Average Inventory ÷ Cost of sales) x 365 days

For Coca-cola: ($2,271 ÷ $11,088 ) x365 days

=74.8 days

For Pepsi:  ($2,570 ÷ $20,099 ) x365 days

=46.7days

Harry owns a Cadillac and a Porsche. Ryan has always wanted a Porsche and knows Harry owns one. Harry decides to sell his Cadillac and buy a BMW. A mutual friend of Ryan and Harry tells Ryan, "Harry's selling his car." Thinking Harry is selling the Porsche (he does not know he also has a Cadillac), Ryan calls Harry and says, "I'll give you $9,500 for your car." Harry, thinking Ryan is talking about the Cadillac, says, "You've got a deal." On what grounds is the above agreement open for rescission

Answers

Answer:

mutual mistake

Explanation:

A mutual mistake happens when all the parties involved in a contract (two or more) are mistaken or do not know the correct information about some specific material fact that is relevant to the contract. In this case, the contract can be rescinded because Harry believes that Ryan wants to buy his Cadillac, while Ryan believes Harry is selling his Porsche.  

Since both of them are mistaken and do not know relevant material facts regarding the contract, the contract can be terminated.

If Home Depot was correct in that it was not discriminating, but simply filling positions consistent with those who applied for them (and very few women were applying for customer service positions), given your reading of this chapter, was the firm guilty of discrimination? If so, under what theory?

Answers

Answer:

Yes and the theory is stereotyping

Explanation:

In a workplace women are subjected to gender stereotyping.

Stereotyping is when there is a wrong belief or idea about people based on they look on the outside.

Most times this is a wrong belief or partially true. It is a form of prejudice because how the person is on the outside is not a true definition of who they are.

In this scenario women are made to feel they were not on the same level as male counterparts during promotions, hiring, and payment.

This prejudice was explained by home Depot to be based on experience. They said most women had experience as cashiers so the could only fill roles like cashier, customer care, and clerk

Your coin collection contains 59,1952 silver dollars. If your grandparents purchased them for their face value when they were new, how much will your collection be worth when you retire in 2053, assuming they appreciate at an annual rate of 6.6 percent?

Answers

Answer:

The collection is worth $37,525.78.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your coin collection contains 59 1952 silver dollars.

Interest rate= 6.6%

Number of years= 2053 - 1952= 101 years

To calculate the value of the collection today, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 59*(1.066^101)

FV= $37,525.78

upino Products provides the foundational data for this problem given that the unit product costs at a normal level of 5,000 units per month and selling price of $90 are as follows: Manufacturing costs: Direct materials............................................... $ 35 Direct labor...................................................... 12 Variable overhead............................................ 8 Fixed overhead (total for year = $300,000)...... 5 Selling and Admin costs: Variable............................................................ $ 15 Fixed (total for year = $480,000)...................... 8 This product is sold at a rate of 60,000 units per year. It is predicted that a price increase of $98 will decrease volume by 10%. An advertising campaign is proposed to support the price increase. How much can advertising expense be spent to support the price increase and without having operating income fall below the current levels?

Answers

Answer:

Available for advertizing campaing 480,000

Explanation:

First we calculate the current operating income:

sales price less all uniit operating cost

90 - 35 - 12 - 8 - 5 - 15 - 8 = 7

$7 x 60,000 units =  $420,000 operating income

Now we calculate the new contribution margin and operating income

materials + labor + variable overhead + variable sale = total variable

35 + 12 + 8 + 15 = 70

new contribution margin per unit

98 - 70 = 28

sales 60,000 units less 10% = 54,000 units

contribution margin

28 x 54,000 =                      1,512,000

Fixed overhead                    300,000

Fixed selling and adming     480,000    

operating income                  732,000

Potential contribution from additional sales:

6,000 units x $28   =              168,000

Net inome                                                                        $420000

Proposed increase in Selling price = $98/unit

Resultant decrease in production = 10%X60000 = 6000 units

Revised income = 54000(98-35-12-8-15) - 300000 - 480000

= $732000

Maximum amount that can be spent on advertising so as to manitain the current level of income of $420000 is $312000 (i.e., $732000-$420000).

Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claimjumper Makeover Total Sales $ 116,000 $ 58,000 $ 174,000 Variable expenses 35,800 7,700 43,500 Contribution margin $ 80,200 $ 50,300 130,500 Fixed expenses 83,250 Net operating income $ 47,250 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company? 2. What is the company's overall break-even point in dollar sales? 3. Prepare a contribution format income statement at the company's break-even point that shows the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Claimjumper Makeover

Total Sales:

Claimjumper= $116,000

Makeover= $58,000

Total= $174,000

Variable expenses:

Claimjumper= $35,800

Makeover= $7,700

Total= $43,500

Contribution margin:

Claimjumper= $80,200

Makeover= $50,300

Total= $130,500

Fixed expenses 83,250

Sales proportion:

Claimjumper= 116,000/174,000= 0.67

Makeover= 58,000/174,000= 0.33

Variable cost proportion:

Claimjumper= 35,800/43,500= 0.82

Makeover= 7,700/43,500= 0.18

First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio for the company:

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)/ weighted average selling price

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 130,500/174,000

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.75

Now, we can calculate the break-even point in dollars:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 83,250/0.75

Break-even point (dollars)= $111,000

Finally, we structure the income statement:

Sales= 111,000

Total variable costs= (111,000*0.25)= (27,750)

Income statement:

Sales:

Claimjumper= 111,000*0.67= 74,370

Makeover= 111,000*0.33= 36,630

Variable costs:

Claimjumper= 27,750*0.82= (22,755)

Makeover= 27,750*0.18= (4,995)

Contribution margin= 83,250

Fixed costs= 83,250

Net operating income= 0

Morgana Company identifies three activities in its manufacturing process: machine setups, machining, and inspections. Estimated annual overhead cost for each activity is $150,000, $375,000, and $87,500, respectively. The cost driver for each activity and the expected annual usage are number of setups 2,500, machine hours 25,000, and number of inspections 1,750.
Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Machine setups $ per setup
Machining $ per machine hour
Inspections $ per inspection

Answers

Answer:

Machine setup= $60 per setup

Machining= $15 per machine hour

Inspections= $50 per inspection

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead costs:

Machine setup= 150,000

Machining= 375,000

Inspections= 87,500

The cost driver for each activity and the expected annual usage are number of setups 2,500, machine hours 25,000, and number of inspections 1,750.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine setup= 150,000/2,500= $60 per setup

Machining= 375,000/25,000= $15 per machine hour

Inspections= 87,500/1,750= $50 per inspection

Baker Industries’ net income is $26,000, its interest expense is $6,000, and its tax rate is 45%. Its notes payable equals $23,000, long-term debt equals $70,000, and common equity equals $260,000. The firm finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. What are the firm’s ROE and ROIC? Round your answers to two decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answers

Answer:

ROI=10%

ROIC=0.83

Explanation:

Net Income = $26,000

Interest expense = $6,000

Tax rate = 45%

Payable = $23,000

Long-term debt = $70,000

Common equity = $260,000

1. ROE = Net Income / Common equity

= 26,000 / 260,000

=0.1

=10%

2. ROIC = EBIT * (1-Tax rate) / Invested capital

EBIT = Net Income before tax + Interest

Net Income before tax = (Net income * 100) / (100-Tax rate)

Net Income before tax = 26000 * 100 / 100-45

=2600000 / 55

Net Income before tax = 47272.72

EBIT = 47272.72 + 6,000

=53272.72

Invested Capital = Note payable + Long term debt.+ Common Equity

=23000 +70000 +260000

=$353,000

Therefore ROIC = EBIT * (1-Tax rate) / Invested capital

ROIC= 53272.72 * (1-0.45) / 353,000

=53272.72*0.55 / 353,000

=292299.996/353,000

=0.8280

=0.83

ROIC= 0.83

Consider the following production and cost data for two products, L and C: Product L Product C Contribution margin per unit $24 $18 Machine-hours needed per unit 3 hours 2 hours The company can only perform 14,200 machine hours each period, due to limited skilled labor and there is unlimited demand for each product. What is the largest possible total contribution margin that can be realized each period?

Answers

Answer:

Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800

Explanation:

Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource

The highest contribution from the 4,200 machine hours could be determined as follows:

Step 1 : Contribution per hour

Contribution per machine hour = contribution per unit/ machine hour

                                                Product L         Product C

                                                      $                             $

Contribution                               24                           18      

Machine hour                             3                              2

Contribution per hour             8/ hr                           9/hr

Ranking                                       2nd                         1st

Product C would be produced using the entire machine hours. Doing so would generate the highest contribution possible.

Contribution = contribution per hour ×   machine hours

                     =       9 ×  14,200 = $127,800

Largest possible total contribution margin = $127,800

Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data

Answers

Answer:

a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Step-by-step Explanation:

==>Given:

Class of ages in yrs

No. of cases of each class = f

Midpoint of each class = x

Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx

==>Required:

a. Mean

b. Median

c. Mode

==>SOLUTION:

a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf

Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75

Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5

Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw

Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.

Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5

Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35

fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22

Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10

Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [25/22]

= 34.5 + 1.1

= 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw

Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]

Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2

∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9

Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10

Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10

= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10

= 34.5 + [20/11]

= 34.5 + 1.8

Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
