NSDC has a contract to produce 9 satellites to support a worldwide telephone system (for Alaska Telecom, Inc.) that allows individuals to use a single, portable telephone in any location on earth to call in and out. NSDC will develop and produce the 9 units. NSDC has estimated that the R&D costs will be NOK (Norwegian Krone) 12,000,000. Material costs are expected to be NOK 6,000,000. They have estimated the design and production of the first satellite will require 100,000 labor hours and an 80 percent improvement curve is expected. Skilled labor cost is NOK 300 per hour. Desired profit for all projects is 25 percent of total costs.
A. How many labor hours should the eighth satellite require?
B. How many labor hours for the whole project of eight satellites?
C. What price would you ask for the project? Why?
D. Midway through the project your design and production people realize that a 75 percent improvement curve is more appropriate. What impact does this have on the project?
E. Near the end of the project Deutsch Telefon AG has requested a cost estimate for four satellites identical to those you have already produced. What price will you quote them? Justify your price.

Answers

Answer 1

we have the following information:

R&D = NOK  12000000

Materials = 6000000

Labour hours = 100000

Improvement curve = 80%

Skilled labour = 300/hour

Desired profit = 25%

a. Number of hours:

Using the learning curves table, the value for 80%  in the 8th unit is = 0.5120

therefore the number of learning hours = 100000 x 0.5120

= 51200 hours

the eight satellite would need 51200 hours of labor

b. The labour hours for the whole project of 8

The corresponding value using the learning curves cumulative value table = 5.346

so the labour hours = 100000*5.346

= 534600 hours

The whole project requires 534600 hours.

c. Price for the project

We first find the total cost of the project

Total cost of labor = required hours x cost of labor

= 534600 x NOK300

= 160380000

Then we find the margin of profit

25% x total cost

25% (160380000 + 12000000 + 6000000)

= 178380000 x 0.25

= 44595000

The proposed price would be

44595000+160380000+12000000+6000000

= 222,975,000 NOK

the total price is 222,975,000 NOK. This is the price I would ask for.

D. a 75% rate is = 4.802 at 8 units in the cumulative values table.

Total hours = 100000x4.802

= 480200 hours

Total hours = 480200x 300

= 144060000

profit margin = 25% (144060000x6000000x12000000)

= 40515000

The impact that this has is that the profit margin has now fallen from 44595000 Nok to 40515000 NOK

E.

To build these satellites NSDC had 6million NOK

6million/2 = 3000000

4 units at 80 percent in the learning curve = 3.142

100000x3.142 = 314200 hours

Total cost of labor = 314200 hours x 300

= 94260000 NOK

Profit margin = 25% x 94260000 x 12000000 x 3000000

= 27315000 NOK

The justified price that i would quote them = 27315000+94260000+3000000+12000000

= 136575000 NOK

This is the proposed price for the 4

U.S. Steel is considering a plant expansion to produce austenitic, precipitation hardened, duplex, and martensitic stainless steel round bars that is expected to cost $13 million now and another $10 million 1 year from now. If total operating costs will be $1.2 million per year starting 1 year from now, and the estimated salvage value of the plant is virtually zero, how much must the company make annually in years 1 through 10 to recover its investment plus a return of 15% per year

Answers

Answer:

$5.5228 million

Or

$5,522,800

Explanation:

First, calculate the present value of all cash outflows

Present value of cash outflow = Initial Cost + ( Year 1 cost x Discount factor 15%, 1 year ) + ( Annual Cost x Annuity factor 15%, 10 years )

Where

Initial cost = $13 million

Year 1 cost = $10 million

Discount factor 15%, 1 year = 1 / ( 1 + 15% )^1 = 0.8696

Annual Cost = $1.2 million

Annuity factor 15%, 10 years = 1 - ( 1 + 15% )^-10 / 15% = 5.019

Placing value sin the formula

Present value of cash outflow = $13 million + ( $10 million x 0.8696 ) + ( $1.2 million x 5.019 )

Present value of cash outflow = $13 million + $8.696 million + $6.0228 million

Present value of cash outflow = $27.7188 million

Now use the following formula to calculate the annual revenue required to recover its investment plus a return of 15% per year

Present value of Annual revenue = Annual Revenue x Annuity factor 15%, 10 years

Annual Revenue = Present value of Annual revenue / Annuity factor 15%, 10 years

Where

Present value of Annual revenue = $27.7188 million

Annuity factor 15%, 10 years = 1 - ( 1 + 15% )^-10 / 15% = 5.019

Placing value sin the formula

Annual Revenue = $27.7188 million / 5.019

Annual Revenue = $5.5228 million

Annual Revenue = $5,522,800

The computation of the ending balance of the allowance account is given below:

Given that

Accounts receivable not yet due be $500,000

So, the bad debt for the same should be

= 5% of $500,000

= $25,000

Accounts receivable due for upto 180 days be $180,000

So, the bad debts for the same should be

= 19% of $180,000

= $34,200

Accounts recievable due for more than 180 days be $75,000

So, the bad debts for the same should be

= 28% of $75,000

= $21,000

Answers

Answer:

a. We have:

Year 2 asset turnover = 1.3 times

Year 1 asset turnover = 1.0 time

b. Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

The ABC Depot reported the following data (in millions) in its recent financial statements:

                                                                               Year 2            Year 1

Sales                                                                    $86,060        $74,200

Total assets at the end of the year                      63,800          68,600

Total assets at the beginning of the year           68,600          79,800

a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.

b.  What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

a. Determine the asset turnover for The ABC Depot for Year 2 and Year 1. Round to one decimal place.

The asset turnover can be calculated using the following formula:

Asset turnover = Sales / Average total assets ………………… (1)

Where:

Average total assets = (Total assets at the beginning of the year + Total assets at the end of the year) / 2

Using equation (1), we therefore have:

Year 2 asset turnover = $86,060 / (($68,600 + $63,800) / 2) = 1.3 times

Year 1 asset turnover = $74,200 / (($79,800 +$ 68,600) / 2) = 1.0 time

b.  What do these turnover indicate concerning the trend in the ability of The ABC Depot to effectively use its assets to generate sales?

A higher asset turnover indicates that a company is using its assets to generate sales more effectively.

Since asset turnover of the ABC Depot increases from 1.0 time in Year 1 to 1.3 times in Year 2, these turnover therefore indicate that the ability of The ABC Depot to use its assets to generate sales more effectively has increased/improved.

As the operations manager, you prefer to keep a constant workforce and production level, absorbing variations in demand through inventory excesses and shortages. Demand not met is carried over to the following month. Assuming you currently have 23 workers, what is the shortage cost for May

Answers

Answer:

Shortage cost for May is $71,000

Explanation:

The expected demand for the month of May is 5000 units.

Shortages for month are carried to next month.

Shortage cost is $10 per month.

(Working days per month x hrs/day x # of workers)

20 days * 8 hours * 23 workers = 3680

Jan :  3680 - 3500 = +180

Feb : 3680 + 180 - 4500 = -640

Mar : 3680 - 640 -6000  = -2980

Apr : 3680 - 2980 -6500 = 5780

May : 3680 - 5780 -5000 = 7100

Answers

Answer:

$46.20

Explanation:

Dividend in year 1 = 1.90 x 1.26 = 2.39

Dividend in year 2 = 1.90 x 1.26² = 3.02

Dividend in year 3 = 1.90 x 1.26³ = 3.80

Dividend in year 3 = (3.80 x 1.07) / (0.14 - 0.07) = 58.10

Calculate the present value of these dividends

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = 2.39

Cash flow in year 1 = 3.02

Cash flow in year 1 = 3.80 + 58.10

I = 14

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $984.62

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed cost= $460

Unitary variable cost= $0.34 per mile

Miles driven= 1,534

First, we need to establish the total cost formula:

Total cost= fixed cost + unitary variable cost*number of units

Total cost= 460 + 0.34*x

x= number of miles

Now, the total cost for the month:

Total cost= 460 + 0.34*1,543

Total cost= $984.62

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: An effective internal control.

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Sarbanes-Oxley Act" refers to the well known United States federal law whose main purpose is to set new requirements, or at least expand them, regarding the boards and management areas of public companies of the US. It was enacted in 2002 due to the various scandals regarding the accounts of companies like Enron back then. Therefore that the bill contains itself eleven sections where most of them are refered specifically to the public's responsabilities that the board of directors of the public companies have. As well as the criminal penalties that they can face in the case of breaking the law.

Answer:

a. An effective internal control
c. Auditors must evaluate internal controls

Explanation:

SOX requires managers and auditors whose stock is publicly traded to have an effective internal control system, auditors must evaluate internal controls, violators may receive harsh penalties (not light penalties), and auditors’ work is overseen by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) (not by the Public Accounting Board).

Answers

Answer: $169,880

Explanation:

Operating profit for a company is simply its sales less its fixed costs and variable costs:

Operating profit = Sales revenue - Variable costs - Fixed costs

Variable costs:

current earnings = $1.96 per share

growth rate = 2.2 percent

return on the stock = 13 percent

current book value = $12.70 per share

solution

first we get here return on equity that is

return on equity = [ current earning per share × ( 1 + growth ) ] ÷ book value per share     ....................1

return on equity = [tex]\frac{1.96 + (1+0.022)}{12.70}[/tex]  

return on equity =15.77 %

and

now we get here payout ration that is

growth rate = retention ration × ROE      ....................2

put here value

2.2% = (1 - payout ratio ) × 15.77

payout ratio  = 86.05 %

and

now we get here current dividend per share that is

current dividend per share = current earning per share × payout ratio  ...........3

put here value

current dividend per share = 1.96 × 86.05 %

current dividend per share = $1.6865

and

now we get here current market value  

current market value  =  [ current dividend per share × ( 1 + growth ) ] ÷ [ required return - growth rate]     ....................1

current market value  = [Text]\frac{1.6865 \times (1+0.022)}{0.13-0.022}[text]

current market value  = [tex]\frac{1.6865 \times (1+0.022)}{0.13-0.022}[/tex]

current market value = $15.96

Grohl Co. issued 22 year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 5 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If the YTM on these bonds is 11 percent, what is the current bond price?

Answers

Answer:

the current bond price is $518.62

Explanation:

The computation of the current bond price is given below:

Given that

NPER = (22 - 2) × 2 = 40

The following data relate to direct labor costs for August: actual costs for 5,500 hours at $24.00 per hour and standard costs for 5,000 hours at $23.70 per hour. The direct labor rate variance is a.$1,500 unfavorable b.$1,500 favorable c.$1,650 unfavorable d.$1,650 favorable

Answers

Answer: c. $1,650 unfavorable

Explanation:

The direct labor rate variance shows the difference between the cost of direct labor that the company thought it would incur vs what it actually incurs for the period.

Formula is:

Direct labor rate variance = Actual cost of direct labor - Standard cost of actual hours of direct labor

= Actual hours * (Actual cost - Standard cost)

= 5,500 * (24 - 23.70)

= $1,650 unfavorable

Unfavorable because the actual cost incurred was more than the cost anticipated.
