Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Project                            Average rate of return

A                                                 16%

Z                                                    15%

Explanation:

The average rate of return (ARR) is the proportion of the average investment that is earned as profit.

Average rate of return(ARR) = average operating income/ Average investment

Project A=

Average income = 57,600/12 = 4800

Average investment = (55,000 + 5,000)/2 = 30000

ARR = 4,800/30,000 × 100 = 16%

Projecr Z

Average income = 63,000/15= 4200

Aveage investment = (50,000 + 6,000)/2= 28,000

ARR = 4,200/28,000× 100 = 15%

Taxi 10 cost $29,000 and is expected to have a salvage value of $200. Taxi 10 was driven 31,000 miles in 2021 and 33,500 miles in 2022. Determine the depreciation cost.

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation expense/cost

For 2021 = $6200

For 2022 = $6700

Explanation:

Depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of an asset's cost over its estimated useful life. The depreciation expense is calculated using various methods. The units of activity method charges a depreciation based on the usage of the asset in a particular period as a proportion to its estimated useful life calculated in the form of total usage expected.

The formula for units of activity depreciation per period is,

Depreciation expense = [(Cost - Salvage value) / Total estimated life time activity of the asset]   *  Activity performed during the period

Depreciation expense-Taxi 10:

For 2021 = [(29000 - 200) / 144000]   *   31000  =  $6200

For 2022 = [(29000 - 200) / 144000]   *   33500  = $6700

Jan. 1 Inventory on hand—80,000 units; cost $4.25 each.

Feb. 14 Purchased 120,000 units for $4.50 each.

Mar. 5 Sold 150,000 units for $14.00 each.

COGS = {[(80,000 x $4.25) + (120,000 x $4.50)] / 200,000} x 150,000 = $660,000

remaining inventory 50,000 units at $4.40 = $220,000

Aug. 27 Purchased 50,000 units for $4.80 each.

Sep. 12 Sold 60,000 units for $14.00 each.

COGS = {[(50,000 x $4.40) + (50,000 x $4.80)] / 100,000} x 60,000 = $276,000

A movie studio sells the latest movie on DVD to VideosRUs at $10 per DVD. The studio's cost of production is $1 per DVD. VideosRUs prices the videos at $19.99 to its customers. The studio offers to buy back unsold DVDs for $5. The studio must pay $.50 disposal fee for all returned DVDs. How many videos should VideosRUs order if the current sales forecast for the DVD is that demand will be normal with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 5,000

Answers

i’m sorry but i don’t understand your question.

We want to find the number of DVDs that maximizes expected profit. To do this, we need to calculate the expected profit for different quantities of DVDs and choose the one that gives the highest profit. By selling 7,000 DVDs get a maximum profit.

What is the profit maximization method?

To ensure the best output and price levels are realized in order to maximize returns, business firms engage in the process of profit maximization. In order to achieve its profit objectives, the company modifies important variables including sale price, production costs, and output levels.

To determine how many videos VideosRUs should order, we need to calculate the expected profit for each DVD sold.

The profit per DVD for VideosRUs can be calculated as follows:

Revenue per DVD = $19.99

Cost per DVD = $10

Profit per DVD = Revenue per DVD - Cost per DVD = $19.99 - $10 = $9.99

The studio's profit per DVD can be calculated as follows:

Revenue per DVD = $10 (the amount they sold the DVD to VideosRUs for)

Cost per DVD = $1

Profit per DVD = Revenue per DVD - Cost per DVD = $10 - $1 = $9

To calculate the probability of selling, we need to use the normal distribution with a mean of 10,000 and a standard deviation of 5,000. Since we don't know the actual demand, we can use a probability distribution to estimate the likelihood of selling different quantities of DVDs.

The required calculation is shown in the file given attached below.

Thus, selling 7000 DVDs get the highest profit.

Answer:

Option C. Task Approach

Explanation:

Task approach is the approach that is based on the goals that expenditure must achieve and helps in defining what the advertising goals must be and what must be the tasks for goals accomplishment.

The advertising expenditure that is based on the sales that the expenditure must generate is percentage sale approach and it is not the case here.

Objective Approach is based on the set objectives and hence helps in designing the marketing expenditure from each aspects which is again not the case here because only advertising expenses are considered here.

The Functional Approach is the dealing of the tasks of the company by separate independent functions which performs the task which is also not the case here.

What variable manufacturing overhead cost would be included in the company’s planning budget for March?

Answers

Answer:

$540,000

Explanation:

The amount on of variable manufacturing overhead cost to be included in the company's planning budget for March is budgeted production units of 20,000 units multiplied by standard direct labor hours of 3 hours per unit multiplied by cost of direct labor hour used for variable overhead which is $9.

budgeted variable overhead cost for March=20,000*3*$9=$540,000.00

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold for the year is shown below:

As we know that

Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning balance of Finished Goods Inventory + Cost of Goods Manufactured – Ending balance of Finished Goods Inventory

= $2,000 + $55,000 - $5,500

During 2021, a company sells 500 units of inventory for $95 each. The company has the following inventory purchase transactions for 2021:Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory for 2021 assuming the company uses the weighted-average cost method

Answers

Answer:

cost of goods sold = $36,285

ending inventory = $1,742

Explanation:

when you use the weighted average cost method you have to calculate the COGS using the total number of units and the total amount paid for them.

beginning inventory = 71 units for $5,325

purchase 1 = 262 units for $18,864

purchase 2 = 187 units for $13,838

total 524 units for $38,027

cost per unit = $38,027 / 524 units = $72.57

cost of goods sold = 500 units x $72.57 = $36,285

ending inventory = 24 units x $72.57 = $1,741.68 ≈ $1,742

a. Sean has $30,000 in a money market account.
b. Musashi has a roll of quarters that he just withdrew from the bank to do laundry.
c. Yvette has $7,000 in a two-year certificate of deposit (CD).

Any type of money that falls into the M2 category is, by definition, part of M1 as well.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: 1. a) M2

b) M1 and M2

c) M2

2. b. False

Explanation:

1.

M1 is a type of definition of money by economists that seek to explain the circulation of money in the economy. It includes cash and cash equivalents that are easy to convert into cash. This includes actual physical cash as well as Demand Deposits.

M2 is the definition that follows after M1. M2 by definition includes all the types of cash in M1 as well as deposits less than $100,000, non Institutional Money Market Fund investments and savings deposits. It isn't as liquid as M1 but is very important in forecasting inflation.

The classifications therefore are,

a) M2. This is M2 as it is a Non Institutional Money Market investment by Sean.

b) M1 and M2. This is physical cash and as such is part of M1 and as stated, anything part of M1 is part of M2 as well.

c) M2. As a deposit less than $100,000, the $7,000 that Yvette has in the CD classifies as M2.

2. False.

Money that is part of M2 is not automatically part of M1. M1 includes only physical cash as well as Demand Deposits while M2 has other forms such as savings deposits and small time deposits. Money that is part of M1 is automatically part of M2 and not the other way around.

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year. Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $96. The following price schedule applies. Determine: a. The optimal order quantity. b. The number of orders per year.

Answers

Answer:

Hie, the price schedule is missing from your question however the important principles are explained below.

a. The optimal order quantity

Optimum order quantity is the order level that results in minimum ordering costs and holding costs.

Optimum order quantity  = √ (2 × Annual Demand × Cost per order) / holding cost per unit

                                         

b. The number of orders per year.

orders per year = Annual Demand / optimal order quantity

This calculates the number of orders to be placed during the year at the optimum order quantity.

                         

A furniture factory's employees work overtime in February to finish an order that is sold on February 28. The office sends a statement to the customer in early March and payment is received by mid-March. The overtime salaries should be expensed in:______
a) the period when the workers receive their cheques
b) either in February or March depending on when the pay period ends
c) February.
d) March.

Answers

Answer: February

Explanation:

Overtime is the amount of time that a person works beyond the normal working hours. From the question, we realise that a furniture factory's workers work overtime in February in order to finish an order that was sold on February 28.

Based on this scenario, the overtime wages should be expensed in February. This is because expenses are recognised when incurred while incomes are recognised when earned. Since the expenses are incurred in February, the overtime salaries should be expensed in February.

a. corporate social responsibility.
b. corruption.
c. cultural relativism.
d. the global tragedy of the commons.
e. sustainability

Answers

Answer: the global tragedy of the commons

Explanation:

The tragedy of the commons is a term that is used to refer to a situation whereby resources that are held in common by everyone but owned by no one and is therefore overused by individuals which results in degradation.

Krisp Systems moves production to a developing country where they can pump pollutants into the atmosphere without any legal restriction will lead to

global tragedy of the commons. Here, the global tragedy is that Krisp system will only work in their own interest and exploit the resources at the detriment of the people which will lead to pollution.

Answer:

d. the global tragedy of the commons.

Explanation:

The tragedy of the commons is a situation that arises as a result of the selfish interest of people who exploit the shared economic resources at the expense and detriment of other users of the resources in the environment. Activities which result in Tragedy of the commons would cause pollution of the environment, excessive consumption, as well as the depletion of resources. A way to curb this sort of exploitation is by the regulation of the activities of companies by the government. This would ensure that certain limits are not overstepped.

When Krisp Systems decides to bypass this regulation by moving to a developing country where they are free to pump pollutants into the atmosphere, they are in effect contributing to the tragedy of the commons.

(a) Total investment = $23,072 × [tex]\frac{100}{50}[/tex] = $46,144

Total shares = Total investment ÷ share price

= $46,144 ÷ $41.2 = 1,120

Value of share in market = new price × number of shares

= $41 × 1,120

= $45,920

Value of equity = Value of share in the market - borrowed cash

= $45,920 - $23,072

= $22,848

Percentage margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares

= ($22,848 ÷ $45,920) × 100%

= 49.76%

(b) Total number of shares = 1,120

Assumed value of shares = $1,120X

Borrowed fund = $23,072

Value of equity = $1,120X - $23,072

Margin = Value of equity ÷ Value of shares

0.35 = ($1,120X - $23,072) ÷ $1,120X

392X = $1,120X - $23,072

1512X = $23,072

X = $15.26

Nick’s Novelties, Inc., is considering the purchase of new electronic games to place in its amusement houses. The games would cost a total of $592,000, have an fifteen-year useful life, and have a total salvage value of $59,200. The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows: Revenues $ 300,000 Less operating expenses: Commissions to amusement houses $ 70,000 Insurance 66,000 Depreciation 35,520 Maintenance 90,000 261,520 Net operating income $ 38,480
Required:
1a. Compute the pay back period associated with the new electronic games.
1b. Assume that Nick’s Novelties, Inc., will not purchase new games unless they provide a payback period of five years or less. Would the company purchase the new games?
No
Yes
2a. Compute the simple rate of return promised by the games. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place. i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
2b. If the company requires a simple rate of return of at least 8%, will the games be purchased?
No
Yes

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1a. The computation of the payback period is shown below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Cash inflow

where,

Initial investment is $592,000

And, the cash flow is

= Depreciation expense + net operating income

= $35,520 + $38,480

= $74,000

So, the payback period is

= $592,000 ÷ $74,000

= 8 years

1b. As we can see that the payback period is of 8 years but the given payback period is 5 years so the company should not purchased the new games

2a. The computation of the simple rate of return is shown below:

Payback period =  Net operating income ÷ Initial investment

                           = $38,480 ÷  $592,000

                           = 6.5%

2b. As we can see that the simple rate of return is 6.5% but the given simple rate of return is minimum 8% so the company should not purchased the new games

The calculation is as follows:

1a. The computation of the payback period is given below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Cash inflow

Here,

Initial investment is $592,000

And, the cash flow is

= Depreciation expense + net operating income

= $35,520 + $38,480

= $74,000

Thus , the payback period is

= $592,000 ÷ $74,000

= 8 years

1b. Since the payback period is of 8 years but the given payback period is 5 years due to this the company should not purchased the new games.

2a. The calculation of the simple rate of return is given below:  

Payback period =  Net operating income ÷ Initial investment  

                          = $38,480 ÷  $592,000  

                          = 6.5%

2b. Since the simple rate of return is 6.5% but the given simple rate of return is minimum 8% due to this the company should not purchased the new games.

A couple owns a life insurance policy with a Children’s Term rider. Their daughter is reaching the maximum age of dependent coverage, so she will have to convert to permanent insurance in the near future. Which of the following will she need to provide for proof of insurability?
1. Medical exam and parental medical history
2. Medical exam
3. Proof of insurability is not required
4. Her parent's federal income tax receipts

Answers

Answer:

3. Proof of insurability is not required

Explanation:

Proof of insurability is not required because if a children's term rider is attached to a life insurance policy, then children are protected or covered by this insurance till they reach a particular age, which happens to be the maximum age stated in the policy. From that age they can convert their insurance coverage to a permanent

life insurance policy without having to issue proof of insurability as it would not be required because a child rider locks in future insurability. The can child rider can be purchased with an individual life insurance policy.

MFG Manufacturing sells a product for $40 per unit. The production cost of the product is $21 per unit: direct materials of $8, direct labor of $7, variable overhead of $4 and fixed overhead of $2. The fixed overhead per unit comes from dividing $500,000 of fixed factory overhead by 250,000 units produced. In addition, MFG pays $3 for shipping each unit sold. Finally, MFG has fixed costs outside the factory (such as office building depreciation and salaries) that total $200,000 per year. Assuming breakeven in units was correctly computed to be 20,000 units, breakeven in dollars is:

Answer:

Break-even sales  =$800,000

Explanation:

The break-even sales is the amount of revenue that a business must generate that would equate its total costs to total revenue. At the break even sales, the contribution is exactly to total iced cost, and the business makes no profit or loss

Break-even (units) = Total general fixed cost /(selling price- variable cost)

Break-even sales = Break-even (in units) × Selling price

Break-even sales = 20,000 × $40 =$800,000

Break-even sales=$800,000

Bill Casler bought a $2000, 9-month certificate of deposit (CD) that would earn 8% annual simple interest. Three months before the CD was due to mature, Bill needed his CD money, so a friend agreed to lend him money and receive the value of the CD when it matured.

Required:
a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?
b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend

Answers

Answer:

a. What is the value of the CD when it matures?

$2,120

b. If their agreement allowed the friend to earn a 10% annual simple interest return on his loan to Bill, how much did Bill receive from his friend?

$2,068.29

Explanation:

interests earned by the CD = $2,000 x 8% x 9/12 = $120

the value of the CD at maturity = $2,000 (principal) + $120 (interests) = $2,120

if the friend wanted to earn 10% on the loan, that is equivalent to 10% x 3/12 = 2.5% for the 3 months

the amount of money received by Bill from his friend = CD's maturity value / (1 + expected interest) = $2,120 / (1 + 2.5%) = $2,120 / 1.025 = $2,068.29

Consider a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then: the price elasticity of supply will increase. the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive. the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one. the price elasticity of supply will be constant. none of the above

Answers

Answer:

The answer is: the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive

Explanation:

The law of supply is the higher the price the higher the quantity supplied and vice-versa. An increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right and a decrease shifts the supply curve to the left.

Price elasticity of supply is the ratio of percentage change in quantity supplied of a good to percentage change in price of the good.

The upward shift of supply curve tells us that supply often decreases when the costs of production increase, so producers need to set a higher price inorder to cover the higher cost of inputs(cost of production) and vice-versa for the downward shift.

So considering a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope in greater than one(supply is elastic) indicating a high responsiveness to changes in price. And also, the lowest price for the goods must be encouraging (positive) so as to serve as motivation to produce.

Note: A high price tells producers that a good is in demand and they should make more and vice-versa

The law of supply is the higher the price the higher the quantity supplied and vice-versa. An increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right and a decrease shifts the supply curve to the left.

Correct option is C.

"the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive."  

 

So, considering a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope in greater than one(supply is elastic) indicating a high responsiveness to changes in price. And also, the lowest price for the goods must be encouraging (positive) so as to serve as motivation to produce.

d. leakage in spending in the economy.

Explanation:

In the economy firms spend money on labour, input, and business expansion. While in the personal household there is spending on food, rent, and other expenses.

When money is taken out of this cycle and not used for a particular purpose then it is considered to be a leakage.

Leakages include taxes savings and imports.

Savings occurs when an individual has excess income and decides to reserve some for a future use. This fund does not have a particular use in the economy so it is considered to be a leakage.

A) State the total fixed cost

B) State the variable cost

C)State the price

D) Given the available data, at what quantity will Jose's Bakersfield Espresso break even?

Answers

Answer:

A. $100,000

B. $1.25 per unit

C. $3.5 per unit

D. Break even point = 44,444 units

Explanation:

Break even point denotes that level of sales at which total costs equal or even total revenues.

Contribution represents the sales revenue in excess of variable costs to cover up for fixed costs.

Break even point in units = [tex]\frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution\ per\ unit}[/tex]

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Contribution per unit = $3.50 - $1.25 = $2.25

Break even point = [tex]\frac{100,000}{2.25}[/tex] = 44,444 units approx.

It would be located on the picturesque banks of Grays Harbor and have its own championship-level golf course. The cost to purchase the land would be $1 million, payable now. Construction costs would be approximately $2 million, payable at the end of year 1. However, the construction costs are uncertain. These costs could be up to 20 percent higher or lower than the estimate of $2 million. Assume that the construction costs would follow a triangular distribution. ADC is very uncertain about the annual operating profits (or losses) that would be generated once the hotel is constructed. Its best estimate for the annual operating profit that would be generated in years 2, 3, 4, and 5 is $700,000. Due to the great uncertainty, the estimate of the standard deviation of the annual operating profit in each year also is $700,000. Assume that the yearly profits are statistically independent and follow the normal distribution. After year 5, ADC plans to sell the hotel. The selling price is likely to be somewhere between $4 and $8 million (assume a uniform distribution). ADC uses a 10 percent discount rate for calculating net present value.
