Introduction to the future value of money. Under the concepts of the time value of money, you can determine the future value of an amount invested today that will earn a given interest rate over a given amount of time. This technique can be used to calculate the future value of:
(1) a single receipt or payment made
(2) a series of receipts or payments.
Lexi and Luke are sitting together, with their notebooks and textbooks open, at a coffee shop. They've been reviewing the latest lecture from Dr. Thibodeaux's financial management class by asking each other questions Today's topic addressed the calculation of future values for both simple and compound interest-earning accounts. Complete the missing information in the conversation that follows. Round your final answer to all computations to two decimal places. However, if you compute any interest factors as an intermediate step in your calculations, round them to four decimal places.
Lexi So, why is it important to be able to calculate the future value of some amount invested?
Luke First, remember that the amount invested is usually called _______maturity payment and the amount earned during the investment period is called_________interest.It is important to be able to calculate a future value so that you can know in advance what a given amount of principal will be worth after earning a specified________ interest rate for a known_________
Lexi OK, I understand that, and I know the amount of principal invested today can be called the ________ value of the investment, whereas the amount realized after the passage of t period of time is called its _________ value. But what causes the present and future values to be different values?
Luke Two things cause the present and future values to be different amounts. First, the _________ earned during the investment period causes the future value to be greater than, equal to, or less than the present value. Second, the method used to calculate the interest earned-that is, whether the account pays ______________ interest-determines the________.

John was driving his car in a careless way, failing to drive as a reasonably prudent person would under the driving conditions. Ramona was crossing the street in a careless way, failing to cross as a reasonably prudent person would. John struck and injured Ramona with the car John was driving. At trial, it was determined that John was 80 percent at fault and that Ramona was 20 percent at fault. The injuries sustained amounted to $100,000. Explain how much, if any, recovery Ramona would receive in a state that applies the contributory negligence rule. Do the same thing for a state that applies the comparative negligence rule

Answers

Answer:

1. If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.

2. If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John which will be $80,000

Explanation:

In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.

If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.

In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.

If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John

this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to $80,000

At the beginning of the month, Arthur's Olde Consulting Corporation had two jobs in process that had the following costs assigned from previous months:
Job Number Direct Labor Applied Overhead
SY-400 $ 23,790 ?
SY-403 15,870 ?
During the month, Jobs SY-400 and SY-403 were completed but not billed to customers. The completion costs for SY-400 required $26,700 in direct labor. For SY-403, $79,500 in labor was used.
During the month, the only new job, SY-404, was started but not finished. Total direct labor costs for all jobs amounted to $150,570 for the month. Overhead in this company refers to the cost of work that is not directly traced to particular jobs, including copying, printing, and travel costs to meet with clients. Overhead is applied at a rate of 70 percent of direct labor costs for this and previous periods. Actual overhead for the month was $107,600.
Required:
(a) What are the costs of Jobs SY-400 and SY-403 at the beginning of the month and when completed?
(b) What is the cost of Job SY-404 at the end of the month?
(c) How much was under- or overapplied service overhead for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Cost at the beginning:

Cost of SY-400 $40,443.00

Cost SY-403 $ 26,979.00  

Cost at month end:

Cost of SY-400 $85,833.00  

Cost of SY-403 $162,129.00  

Cost of SY-404 $75429

Overhead was under-applied by $2,201.00

Explanation:

At the beginning of the month costs of jobs SY-400 and SY-403 are the direct labor costs incurred already plus 70% of the direct labor cost as overhead applied:

Cost of SY-400=$23,790+($23,790*70%)=$40,443.00

Cost SY-403=$15,870+($15,870*70%) =$ 26,979.00  

Costs at the end of the month would be cost at the beginning plus new direct labor cost incurred as well as the overhead on the new direct labor cost:

Cost of SY-400=$40,443.00+$26,700+($26,700*70%)=$85,833.00  

Cost of SY-403=$ 26,979.00+$79500+(70%*$79500)=$162,129.00  

Direct labor cost of SY-404=$150,570- $26,700-$79,500=$44370

Cost of SY-404=$44370+(70%*$44370)=$75429

Actual overhead is $107,600

Overhead applied=(70%*$44370)+(70%*$79500)+($26,700*70%)=$105,399.00  

Under-applied overhead=$107,600-$105,399=$2,201.00  

a) The cost of Jobs SY-400 and SY-403 at the beginning of the month and on completion are:

                                SY-400        SY=403  

Beginning costs     $40,443        $26,979

Total costs            $85,833       $162,129    

b) The cost of Job SY-404 at the end of the month is $75,429.

c) The Service Overhead for the month was underapplied by $2,201.

Data and Calculations:

Job Number   Direct Labor   Applied Overhead                       Total Costs

SY-400             $ 23,790          ? = $16,653 ($23,790 x 70%)     $40,443

A roofing company collects fees when jobs are complete. The work for one customer, whose job was bid at $3,900, has been completed as of December 31, but the customer has not yet been billed. Assuming adjustments are only made at year-end, what is the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end?

Answers

Answer:

Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;

Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3,900

Explanation:

Here, no cash transaction was involved. Since the job has been completed but  the customer has not been billed yet, this simply means it has to be debited with accounts receivable, which is recognised as current asset and recognised as revenue for the period, hence needs to be credited.

This means that accounts receivable has to be debited with the amount of $3,900 while roofing fees revenue has to be credited with the amount of $3,900

Considering the above, the adjusting entry the company would need to make on December 31, the calendar year-end would be:

Debit Accounts Receivable, $3,900;

Credit Roofing Fees Revenue, $3.900

Your bank account pays an interest rate of 9 percent. You are considering buying a share of stock in XYZ Corporation for $90. After 1, 2, and 3 years, it will pay a dividend of $4. You expect to sell the stock after 3 years for $100.Is XYZ a good investment?

Answers

Answer: It is NOT a good investment.

Explanation:

Your bank account pays an interest of 9% per annum. This can be used as a discount rate to discount the dividends and the final Sales price to the present to see if the present value of Future benefits is more than what the stock is valued at now.

If the Present Value of the future benefits is higher than the cost now, XYZ is a good investment.

$4 are expected every year for 3 years and then on the third year, the stock will be sold for $100.

Discounting therefore gives us,

= (4 / (1 + 9%) ) + (4 / (1 + 9%)^2) + ( 4 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3) + ( 100 / ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3)

= 87.34

= $87.34

The Present Value of the future benefits including the future sales price is $87.34 which is less than the current cost of the stock at $90.

XYZ is NOT a good investment.

Blythe Company has provided the following​ information: Sales price per unit ​$40 Variable cost per unit 18 Fixed costs per month ​12,800 What is the amount of sales in dollars required for Blythe to break​ even? (Round any percentages to two decimal places and your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273

Explanation:

The break-even point is the selling price at which the selling price, equals the cost of production. no profit is made, but no loss is incurred too.

we will use the formula for calculating required selling price, to calculate the break-even price as follows:

Required selling price =  (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue

Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost

contribution margin = 40 - 18 = $22

Net sales revenue = $40

∴ contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ net sales revenue) × 100

= 22 ÷ 40 = 55.00% = 0.55

∴ Required selling price = (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)

Required selling price = (12,800 + 0) ÷ 55.00%

= 12,800 ÷ 0.55 = 23,272.7 = 23,273 (to the nearest dollars)

Break-even sales in dollars = $23,273

Cotrone Beverages makes energy drinks in three flavors: Original, Strawberry, and Orange. Company is currently operating at 75 percent of capacity. Worried about the company's performance, the company president is considering dropping the Strawberry flavor. If Strawberry is dropped, the revenue associated with it would be lost and the related variable costs saved. In addition, the company’s total fixed costs would be reduced by 20 percent.

Segmented income statements appear as follows:

Product Original Strawberry Orange
Sales $65,200 $85,600 $102,400
Variable costs 44,000 77,200 80,200
Contribution margin $21,200 $8,400 $22,200
Fixed costs allocated to each product line 9,400 12,000 14,200
Operating profit (loss) $11,800 $(3,600) $8,000

Required:

a. Prepare a differential cost schedule.
b. Should Cotrone drop the Strawberry product line?

Answers

Answer:

Yes Strawberry line should be dropped as it reduces the overall profit by$ 3600 when the fixed costs are not 20 %

Yes Strawberry line should be dropped as it reduces the overall profit by$ 1720 even when the fixed costs are  20 %

The direct labor budget indicates that 3,200 direct labor-hours will be required in October. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month. The predetermined overhead rate for October should be:

Answers

Answer:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $21.5 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The variable overhead rate is $4.60 per direct labor-hour.

Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $54,080 per month

The direct labor budget indicates that 3,200 direct labor-hours will be required in October.

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (54,080/3,200) + 4.6

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $21.5 per direct labor hour

Degregorio Corporation makes a product that uses a material with the following direct material standards:


Standard quantity 3.7 kilos per unit
Standard price $5 per kilo

The company produced 6,300 units in November using 23,780 kilos of the material. During the month, the company purchased 25,950 kilos of the direct material at a total cost of $124,560. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.

The materials quantity variance for November is:

A. $2,350 F

B. $2,256 F

C. $2,350 U

D. $2,256 U

Answers

Answer:

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F

Explanation:

Given:

Standard quantity = 3.7 kilos per unit

Standard price = $5 per kilo

Unit produced = 6,300

Total material = 23,780

Computation:

Materials quantity variance = (Actual quantity × Standard price) - (Standard quantity × Standard price)

Materials quantity variance = (23,780 × $) - (6,300  × 3.7  × $5)

Materials quantity variance = $118,900 - $116,550

Materials quantity variance = $2,350 F

"All else held constant" is a major problem facing all methods of estimating the demand for business products. Compare and contrast how the marketing and economic approaches deal with this problem. Please use examples.

Answers

Answer:

In Economics, the phrase "All esle held constant" is also sometimes written in Latin "Ceteris Paribus". In Economics, this assumption is fundamental to the whole academic discipline since Economics is based on economic models that make a series of assumptions in order to reach partial conditions.

So in Economics, the reasoning is always in the manner of "all else held constant".

In Marketing, what is always done is to estimate demand for a product, and then, apply a marketing strategy in order to try to not only meet demand, but sell even more. This is because the main goal of Marketing is to satisfy customers beyond their expectations.

Tangarine Company is considering a project with an internal rate of return of 12%. Tangarine requires a minimum rate of return of 10%. The net present value of the project is: a.equal to zero. b.infinite. c.negative. d.positive. e.None of these choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is D

Positive NPV

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflow to the present value of cash inflows.

It is the maximum cost of capital that can be used to discount a project without causing harm to the investors. In other words, it is the cost of capital that produces an NPV of Zero.

It therefore means that any cost of capital that is less than the IRR would produce a positive NPV and vice and versa.

and  vice versa

Finally, if the IRR is 12% a cost of capital of 10% would produce a positive NPV

Ace Ventura, Inc., has expected earnings of $5 per share for next year. The firm's ROE is 15%, and its earnings retention ratio is 40%. If the firm's market capitalization rate is 10%, to the nearest dollar what is the present value of its growth opportunities

Answers

Answer: $25

Explanation:

Value with no growth = Expected earnings/Market capitalization rate

= $5/10%

= $5/0.1

= $50

Growth rate = Earnings retention ratio × ROE

Growth rate = 40% × 15%

= 40/100 × 15/100

= 0.4 × 0.15

= 0.06 = 6%

Value with growth = [$5 × (1-0.4)]/(0.10 - 0.06)

= ($5 × 0.6)/0.04

= $3/0.04

= $75

Present value of growth opportunities will now be:

= Value with growth - value with no growth

= $75 - $50

= $25

A man turns 40 today and wishes to provide supplemental lifetime retirement income of 3,000 at the beginning of each month starting on his 65th birthday. Starting today, he makes monthly contribution of X to a fund for 25 years. The fund earns a nominal rate of 8% compounded monthly. Every 9.65 of lifetime income paid at the beginning of each month starting at age 65 will cost 1,000 to purchase. Calculate x.

Answers

Answer:

324.72

Explanation:

To get an income of $1, the man needs [tex]\frac{1000}{9.65}[/tex], therefore to get an income of $3000, the man needs [tex]\frac{1000*3000}{9.65}=310880.83[/tex].

Interest (i)= 8%/12 = 0.08/12 = 0.00667

Number of periods (N) = 12 months/year × 25 years = 300

Using actuarial notation:

[tex]Xs_{300/0.006667}=310880.83\\Where:\\s_{300/0.006667}=(1+0.006667)\frac{(1+0.006667)^{300}-1}{0.00667} =957.366[/tex]

Nordstrom Inc. reports net income of $600 million for its fiscal year ended January 2016. At the beginning of that fiscal year, Nordstrom had $9,245 million in total assets. By fiscal year ended January 2016, total assets had decreased to $7,698 million.
What is Nordstrom's ROA?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 7.1%

Explanation:

ROA means Return on Asset. It is one of the profitability ratios. It tells us how profitable a company is in using its assets. It is the rate of return on assets owned by the business and it is expressed as a percentage. The formula for calculating it is:

Net profit ÷ total assets.

In this the question we have the beginning and the ending total assets, what we need to do is to find the average i.e ($9,245 million + $7,698 million) / 2 =$8,472.5 million

Therefore, Nordstrom's ROA is:

$600 million / $8,472.5 million

= 7.1%

Y19 = 7(19) + 195.33 = 328.33

Explanation:

Period (x)

New accounts (Y)

The regression equation:

Y = mx + t

Y is the dependent variable

X is the independent variable

t point where trend line cuts through the x-axis

M is the gradient or slope

Using the regression calculator, the trend line for the data is :

Y = 7X + 195.33

Using the regression equation obtained :

Y16 = 7(16) + 195.33 = 307.33

Y17 = 7(17) + 195.33 = 314.33

Y18 = 7(18) + 195.33 = 321.33

Y19 = 7(19) + 195.33 = 328.33

A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows: 0 1 2 3 4 Project X -$1,000 $100 $320 $400 $700 Project Y -$1,000 $1,000 $110 $55 $45 The projects are equally risky, and their WACC is 13%. What is the MIRR of the project that maximizes shareholder value

Answers

Answer:

Project X maximizes shareholder value (highest NPV) and has a MIRR of 14.27%.

Explanation:

year       cash flow project X          cash flow project Y

0                   -1,000                             -1,000

1                        100                               1,000

2                      320                                   110

3                      400                                   55

4                      700                                   45

WACC = 13%

Using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the projects' NPV, IRR and MIRR

                                                        NPV         IRR     MIRR

project X                                        $45.65      15%    14.27%

project Y                                        $36.82      16%    14.03%  

The modified internal rate of return (MIRR) considers that the project's cash inflows are invested at the company's WACC and the initial investment is financed at a certain debt rate (in this case the same WACC).

Real-Balances Effect Household Expectations Interest-Rate Effect Personal Income Tax Rates Profit Expectations National Incomes Abroad Government Spending Answer the question based on the accompanying list of factors that are related to the aggregate demand curve. Changes in which two of the factors would most likely cause a shift in aggregate demand due to a change in consumer spending.

Answers

Answer: Household Expectations

Personal Income Tax Rates

Explanation:

The Aggregate Demand curve can shift as a result of Consumer Spending, Government Spending, Investment Spending or Net Export spending.

When the AD shifts due to a change in Consumer Spending, the reasons are usually related to individuals in the economy including Households.

One of the reasons there may be a shift is due to changes in Household Expectations.

If a Household expects an Economic variable such as Inflation to change in the future, it might inspire them to act now to take advantage of it. For example, if a Household expects that car prices will rise in future, they may decide to buy a car now instead so as not to pay a higher amount in future thus increasing demand and shifting the AD curve Right.

Another reason could be the Personal Income Tax rate. Taxes reduce the amount that people have after they are paid. A change in personal income tax rates therefore is a change in people's income. If Personal Tax rates were to reduce for instance, that would mean that people would have more money to spend and they might consume this extra money. This would increase Consumption and therefore shift the AD curve Right.
