For the oldest child, the college will begin in 16 years and the second child the college will begin in 18 years.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the oldest child.
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 16
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $3,298
Therefore, they must deposit $3,298 each year for their oldest child.
Calculating the amount to be deposited each year for the second child:
Using Microsoft Excel PMT function
Rate = 8%
N = 18
PV = 0
FV = -100000
= $2,670
Therefore, they must deposit $2,670 each year for their second child.
Total sum to be saved per year = $3,298 + $2,670 = $6,598
The following data were provided by Rider, Inc, which produces a single product:
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 5,000
Units sold 4,500
Variable costs per unit:
Manufacturing $10
Selling and administrative $4
Fixed costs in total:
Manufacturing $15,000
Selling and administrative $10,000
a. lower than the net operating income under variable costing.b. higher than the net operating income under variable costing.c. the relation between absorption costing and variable costing net operating incomes cannot be determined.d. the same as the net operating income under variable costing.
Answer:
The correct option is B, higher than the net operating income under variable costing
Explanation:
In calculating the net operating profit under variable costing, the fixed manufacturing cost of $15,000 is deducted as a whole in arriving at net profit.
However, under absorption costing method, only the goods sold are charged with their own portion of fixed manufacturing cost totaling $15,000
Fixed under variable costing method=$15,000
fixed cost under absorption costing method=$15,000/5,000*4500=$13500
Since fixed cost is lower under absorption costing method, net profit tends to be higher.
Klingon Widgets, Inc., purchased new cloaking machinery three years ago for $6 million. The machinery can be sold to the Romulans today for $5.1 million. Klingon’s current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $3.4 million, current liabilities of $895,000, and net working capital of $235,000. If the current assets and current liabilities were liquidated today, the company would receive a total of $1.15 million cash. a. What is the book value of Klingon’s total assets today? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. What is the sum of the market value of NWC and the market value of fixed assets? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
a. What is the book value of Klingon’s total assets today?
total assets = net fixed assets + current assets
net fixed assets = $3,400,000current assets = net working capital + current liabilities = $235,000 + $895,000 = $1,130,000total assets = $3,400,000 + $1,130,000 = $4,530,000
b. What is the sum of the market value of NWC and the market value of fixed assets?
market value of NWC = $1,150,000market value of fixed assets = $5,100,000FMV of NWC + fixed assets = $1,150,000 + $5,100,000 = $6,250,000
A company plans to replace one of its machines 5 years from now. If they deposit $6,827 a month in an account that gives them 0.65% interest per month. How much money will they still need to pay for the machine if the cost is $1,123,553 at that time in the future?
Answer:
They would require $624,532.94 more
Explanation:
The first task is to compute the future value of the monthly deposit of $6,827 with an interest of 0.65% per month for five years.
=fv(rate,nper,-pmt,pv)
rate id 0.65% per month
nper is the number of deposits =5 years*12=60
pmt is the monthly deposit of $6,827
pv is the present value of deposits,it is unknown and taken as zero
=fv(0.65%,60,-6827,0)=$499,020.06
balance of the required funds=required funds-future value of the deposits
balance of required funds= $1,123,553-$499,020.06=$624,532.94

Mr. Grove's argument is to provide additional incentives to U.S. firms for domestic investment in more mass production. If implemented, this would have the largest impact on firms using which of the four integration-responsiveness strategies?A) Transnational strategy because such incentives help differentiation.B) Multi-domestic strategy because incentives would increase global responsiveness.C) Global-standardization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.D) International strategy because these incentives would reduce pressure for responsiveness globally.E) Global-standardization strategy because incentives align with the death-of-distance.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: Global-standarization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of ''global-standarization strategy'' in the field of business is known because of being part of the group of the four integration-responsiveness strategies and is the one that focus in the standarization of the product in a globally way. Therefore that this type of strategy is the one that would be used in the case of looking for an investment in the mass production locally due to the fact that the firms will be producing goods in a standard way and therefore that they would use universal supplies in every production in order to increase the amount of the production to achieve a mass number.

Net operating income $6,200,000
Average operating assets $36,000,000
Required:
a. Compute the margin for Alyeska Services Company.
b. Compute the turnover for Alyeska Services Company.
c. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company.
Answer:
a. The margin for Alyeska Services Company: 35.23%
b. The turnover for Alyeska Services Company: 0.49
c. The return on investment (ROI) for Alyeska Services Company: 17.22%
Explanation:
a. The profit margin reflects a company's overall ability to turn income into profit, is calculated by formula:
Profit margin = (Net operating income/Net sales ) x 100% = $6,200,000/$17,600,000 x 100% = 35.23%
b. Asset turnover helps investors understand how effectively companies are using their assets to generate sales. Asset turnover is calculated by using following formula:
Asset Turnover = Total Sales/ Average Total Assets = $17,600,000/$36,000,000 = 0.49
c. Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:
ROI = Net income/Total investment x 100%
In Alyeska Services Company,
ROI = Net operating income/Average operating assets x 100% = $6,200,000/$36,000,000 x 100% = 17.22%
The text states, "Over sufficiently long time periods, net income equals cash inflows minus cash outflows, other than cash flows with owners." Demonstrate the accuracy of this statement in the following scenario: Two friends contributed $50,000 each to form a new business. The owners used the amounts contributed to purchase a machine for $100,000 cash. They estimated that the useful life of the machine was five years and the salvage value was $20,000. They rented out the machine to a customer for an annual rental of $25,000 a year for five years. Annual cash operating costs for insurance, taxes, and other items totaled $6,000 annually. At the end of the fifth year, the owners sold the equipment for $22,000, instead of the $20,000 salvage value initially estimated.

After hearing a knock at your front door, you are surprised to see the Prize Patrol from a large, well-known magazine subscription company. It has arrived with the good news that you are the big winner, having won $34 million. You have three options. (a) Receive $1.7 million per year for the next 20 years. (b) Have $11.5 million today. (c) Have $3.25 million today and receive $1,400,000 for each of the next 20 years. Your financial adviser tells you that it is reasonable to expect to earn 14 percent on investments.
Answer:
The requirement is to calculate the present value of each option:
$ 11.26 million
$11.5 million
$ 12.52 million
Explanation:
The present value formula in excel is very useful in this case:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the 14% interest rate to be earned per year
nper is duration of the payment
pmt is the amount of payment expected per year
fv is the is the future worth of the payment which is unknown
Option 1:
=-pv(14%,20,1.7,0)=$ 11.26 million
Option 2:
The amount receivable today is the present value i.e $11.5 million
option 3:
=-pv(14%,20,1.4,0)=$9.27 million
total =amount received today+$ 9.27 million=$3.25 million+$ 9.27 millon=$ 12.52 million
Quisco Systems has 6.6 billion shares outstanding and a share price of $18.41. Quisco is considering developing a new networking product in house at a cost of $498 million. Alternatively, Quisco can acquire a firm that already has the technology for $913 million worth (at the current price) of Quisco stock. Suppose that absent the expense of the new technology, Quisco will have EPS of $0.74.
A. Suppose Quisco develops the product in house. What impact would the development cost have on Quisco’s EPS. Assume all costs are are incurred this year.and are treated as an R&D expense. Quisco’s tax rate is35%, and the number of shares outstanding is unchanged.
B. Suppose Quisco does not developthe product in house but instead acquire the technology. What effect would the acquisition have on Quisco’s EPS thisyear?
C. Which method of acquiring the technology has a smaller impact on earning? Is this method cheaper?Explain.
Answer:
A) EPS will decrease by $0.05 to $0.69
B) EPS will decrease by $0.01 to $0.73
C) The impact on EPS is smaller if the company is acquired. This doesn't mean that it is cheaper to do it that way, but since the EPS is very low, any significant increase in costs will result in steep reduction of EPS. The cheapest way would be to issue new stocks to cover the expenses of developing the new technology.
Explanation:
6.6 billion shares outstanding and a share price of $18.41, current EPS $0.74, total current earnings = $4,884 million
in house development = $498 million will reduce net earnings by $498 x 65% = $323.7 million or $0.05 per share
EPS = $0.74 - $0.05 = $0.69
if Quisco decides to acquire the company, then total shares will increase by $913,000,000 / $18.41 = 49,592,613 shares
total outstanding shares = 6,600,000,000 + 49,592,613 = 6,649,592,613 shares
EPS = $4,884,000,000 / 6,649,592,613 = $0.73
A company’s trial balance included the following account balances: Accounts Payable $ 19,207 Accounts Receivable 81,336 Cash 73,324 Income Tax Payable 3,512 Inventory 25,816 Note Payable, due in two years 1,709 Equipment 54,128 Stockholders’ Equity 202,808 Supplies 5,512 Wages Payable 12,880 What is the amount of the current ratio? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
5.22
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the current ratio is as follows:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities .......... (1)
From the question, we have:
Current assets = Accounts Receivable + Cash + Inventory + Supplies = $81,336 + $73,324 + $25,816 + $5,512 = $185,988.
Note: Equipment is not a current asset but a fixed asset.
Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Tax Payable + Wages Payable = $19,207 + $3,512 + $12,880 = $35,599.
Note: Note Payable, due in two years is not a current liability but a long term liability since it is not payable within one year.
Substituting the values into equation (1) we have:
Current ratio = $185,988 / $35,599 = 5.22
The current ratio of 5.22 indicates that the company more than enough current assets, 5.22 times, to pay of its current liabilities.

Answer:
If financial statements are prepared on January 31, the journal entry to record the adjustment would be debit rent expense and credit prepaid rent for $1,250
Explanation:
According to the given data the rent has been expired for one month so only one month's rent expense will be recorded. Therefore to calculate one month's rent expense we have to make the following calculation:
one month's rent=Total rent/period for which rent is paid*1
one month's rent=$15,000/12*1
one month's rent=$1,250
Therefore, If financial statements are prepared on January 31, the journal entry to record the adjustment would be debit rent expense and credit prepaid rent for $1,250
g For a period during which the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than that at the beginning, income from operations reported under variable costing will be smaller than income from operations reported under absorption costing. Group of answer choices False True
Answer: True
Explanation:
Variable costing is a method which is used to assign the variable costs to the inventory. In this approach, all the overhead costs will be charged to expense during the period that they were incurred, while the direct materials and the variable overhead costs will be assigned to the inventory.
In this scenario, for a period whereby the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than the quantity of inventory at the beginning, the income from operations that is reported under the variable costing will be smaller than the income from the operations that is reported under absorption costing. This is because the beginning inventory inventory has been released at a rate that is higher at than the ending inventory thereby making the income under the absorption costing to be smaller.
Tedd E. Bear has an annual salary of $48,000 with no other loans outstanding. Using the 25% guideline from class and with a 20% down payment, how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage
Answer:
The total loan value would be of $261,825
Explanation:
In order to calculate how expensive of a home can Tedd purchase using a 4%, 30 year mortgage we would have to calculate first the amount of annual payments as follows:
amount of annual payments = $48,000*0.25 = $12,000
PMT = 12,000/12 = 1000
FV = 0
rate = 4%/12
N = 30*12
Hence, use FV function in Excel amount after down payment = $209,461.24
this represents 80% of the loan , so total loan value = $209,461.24/0.8 = $261,825
The total loan value would be of $261,825
The total loan amount is $261,825.
The calculation is as follows:Amount of annual payments = 25% of $48,000 = $12,000
PMT = 12,000 ÷ 12 = $1,000
FV = $0
Rate = 4% ÷ 12 = 0.333%
N = 30 × 12 = 360
Here we have to apply the FV function in the excel.
So,
Amount after downpayment = 209,461.24
The above amount represents 80% of the loan
Now
Total loan value is
= $209,461.24 ÷ 0.8
= $261,825

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.
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 lockbox plan is most beneficial to firms that a. receive payments in the form of currency, such as fast food restaurants, rather than in the form of checks. b. have widely dispersed manufacturing facilities. c. have suppliers who operate in many different parts of the country. d. have a large marketable securities portfolio and cash to protect. e. have customers who operate in many different parts of the country.
Answer:
E. Have customers who operate in many different parts of the country.
Explanation:
Details about a lockbox plan and services explains that this is a banking service to companies by a certain bank or banks that proceeds and receives receipts of payments from its customers where they are directly channeled to a plan inwhich they work with the bank on behalf of the company instead of contacting the said company as the bank helps or fastens the receipt processing and. The lockbox is virtually known to be advantageous to customers who operate in many different parts of the country.
It is generally known to assist companies with a very efficient way of depositing customer payments, this is for companies that find it a bit hard to check and respond to mails.
g A decrease in the price of a good would a. increase the supply of the good. b. increase the quantity demanded of the good. c. give producers an incentive to produce more to keep profits from falling. d. shift the supply curve for the good to the left.
Answer:
. b. increase the quantity demanded of the good
Explanation:
An decrease in the price of the good increases the demand for the good according to the law of demand.
The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
An increase in price would increase supply.
A change in price leads to a movement along either the demand or supply curve.
Other factors other than the change in price leads to a movement of these curves.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
A decrease in the price of a good would increase the supply of the good.
A decrease in the price of a good would NOT increase the quantity demanded of the good.
A decrease in the price of a good would NOT give producers an incentive to produce more to keep profits from falling.
Skilled versus unskilled labor markets Consider the labor markets for unskilled workers and skilled workers in the United States. Suppose you read the following newspaper headline: "The U.S. Department of Education Issues Report on Increased Productivity Effects of a College Education, but College Enrollment Remains Constant." The previous scenario primarily affects the labor market for ______ workers.
Answer: Skilled Workers.
Explanation:
Skilled workers refers to those with the skills and abilities required to work in their various tasks. Often these skills are gained from tertiary level institutions such as Universities, Colleges or Technical Schools.
When the report speaks of how having a college education leads to increased productivity, it is targeting skilled workers who as the definition states, have probably gone to College or Universities and the like.
This report will increase the labour market for skilled college education holders as companies might want to hire them more to gain from the reported increased productivity.
Paragraph coherence occurs when the ideas in a paragraph are linked and there is a logical flow from one idea to the next. Which of the following are techniques that you can use to help the reader follow your ideas?
A) Place prepositions near the end of the sentence.
B) Show connections with transitional expressions.
C) Avoid repetition of words and phrases.
D) Use pronouns to refer to previous nouns.
E) Use bullets and lists to connect similar ideas.
Answer:
B) Show connections with transitional expressions.
Explanation:
When paragraphs are formed there needs to be a smooth flow so the reader can clearly understand what is being communicated. Paragraph coherence is used to achieve this.
An important method in achieving paragraph coherence is the use of transitions.
Transitions are words or a set of word that connects sentences and ideas together in a paragraph. It makes the relationship between ideas clear and understandable.
Coherence is used to make the ideas expressed flow smoothly and logically.
Compute ending merchandise inventory, cost of goodssold, and gross profit using the (1) FIFO inventory costingmethod, (2) LIFO inventory costing method, and (3) weighted-average inventory costing method. (Round weighted-average cost per unit to the nearest cent and all other amounts to the nearest dollar.)
Begin by determining ending merchandise inventory and cost of goods sold under each of the three methods.
Requirement 1.
FIFO
Plus:
Less:
Cost of goods sold
Requirement 2.
LIFO
Requirement 3.
Weighted-Average
Additional Information:
June.1 Beginning merchandise inventory 17 units at $15each
12 Purchase 5 units at $19each
20 Sale 14 units at $37each
24 Purchase 11 units at $23each
29 Sale 13 units at $37each
Answer:
a) Ending Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold under FIFO:
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 138
Cost of Goods Sold $465
b) Ending Merchandise Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold under LIFO:
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 90
Cost of Goods Sold $513
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.
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________.
Answer:
Principal
interest
interest for a known period
present value
future value
interest
simple or compound interest
the amount by which the future value differs from the present value
Explanation:
The initial amount invested is known as the principal amount.
The increase over and above the principal invested is called interest.
The duration of the investment is the period which the interest is earned.
present value is the present worth of investment
future value is the future amount that the investment would worth after been invested for a known period
Uber has made several decisions creating new product lines aimed at growing revenue, such as establishing UberEats, Uber Fresh, and UberTASTE for food delivery; UberRUSH for package delivery; and UberCARGO and UberVAN for moving goods. This strategy is known as
Answer:
The strategy described above is known as Umbrella (or Family) Brand Strategy
Explanation:
Family branding is a marketing concept where a company with strong equity uses a single brand name to sell two or more products under the same category.
In the question we see two broad categories:
Foods;CargoAnd there, you have under each broad group, sub-categories using the brand Uber.
Real-life examples of successful umbrella brands are:
Apple (iPhone, iMac, iPod etc)AdidasPokémon etc.The advantage of Umbrella Branding as a business strategy is that the cost required to launch a product under a different brand is significantly avoided if the new product is affixed with the existing brand.
If however, the company fails to get it right, by enveloping a different line of product in the existing brand, it may water down the brand and also confuse customers.
Cheers!
