A high-end clothing manufacturer has a policy to inspect each article of clothing before it is shipped to customers. Recently, the number of finished items that are failing this final inspection has more than doubled from 3% six months ago to 7% last month. This company would benefit from a strategy designed to:
Answer:
Examine the reliability of the process.
Explanation:
As a high end clothing company, it is a very good initiative and welcoming to have clothes that possibly posses global version and global value so it is good for such routine checks to be done. This could be tedious and cost the company more than usual.
In this case where there are a reasonable amount of such clothes failing these routine checks, it is not too good for the company as more re-evaluations are to be done in order to cub the rate at which this is in the last six months. This process of examining the reliability process is the company's best bet to tackle the issue they have at hand.
Bannister Co. is thinking about having one of its products manufactured by a subcontractor. Currently, the cost of manufacturing 1,000 units is: Direct material $ 45,000 Direct labor 30,000 Factory overhead (30% is variable) 98,000 If Bannister can buy 1,000 units from an outside supplier for $100,000, it should:
Answer:
Production total cost= $104,400
It is more profitable to buy the product.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production costs (1,000 units):
Direct material $ 45,000
Direct labor $30,000
Factory overhead (30% is variable) 98,000
Buy:
1,000 units from an outside supplier for $100,000.
I will assume that the fixed overhead is not avoidable, therefore it should not be taken into account for the decision making.
Production total cost= 45,000 + 30,000 + (98,000*0.3)
Production total cost= $104,400
It is more profitable to buy the product.
g Dybala Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 110 100 % Variable expenses 66 60 % Contribution margin 44 40 % The company is currently selling 5,120 units per month. Fixed expenses are $210,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $6,600 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 230 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change
Answer:
Effect on income= $3,520 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin= 44
The marketing manager believes that a $6,600 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 230 unit increase in monthly sales.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= increase in contribution margin - increase in costs
Effect on income= 230*44 - 6,600
Effect on income= $3,520 increase

The Riteway Ad Agency provides cars for its sales staff. In the past, the company has always purchased its cars from a dealer and then sold the cars after three years of use. The company’s present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives:
Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $27,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole:
Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing $ 4,300
Repairs, first year $ 2,200
Repairs, second year $ 4,700
Repairs, third year $ 6,700
At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.
Lease alternative: The company can lease the cars under a three-year lease contract. The lease cost would be $70,000 per year (the first payment due at the end of Year 1). As part of this lease cost, the owner would provide all servicing and repairs, license the cars, and pay all the taxes. Riteway would be required to make a $15,000 security deposit at the beginning of the lease period, which would be refunded when the cars were returned to the owner at the end of the lease contract.
Riteway Ad Agency’s required rate of return is 20%.
Required:
1. Use the total-cost approach to determine the present value of the cash flows associated with each alternative. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
The present value of purchase is $ 209,907.41
The present value of lease is $ 153,773.15
Find attached spreadsheet.
Explanation:
The present of value of both options need to be calculated in order to determine the viable option:
Present value of purchase=($27,000*10)+($4,300+$2,200)/(1+20%)^1+($4,300+$4,700)/(1+20%)^2+($4,300+$6,700)/(1+20%)^3-($27000*10*0.5)/(1+20%)^3=$209,907.41
Present value of lease option=$15,000+$70,000/(1+20%)^1+$70,000/(1+20%)^2+$70,000/(1+20%)^3-$15,000/(1+20%)^3=$ 153,773.15

Explanation:
a) Straight-line method of depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation charge over the life of the asset. It is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset and dividing the resulting figure by the number of useful life in years. It is very simple, but does not take into consideration maintenance costs incurred as assets age. Therefore, it does not spread the costs of the asset evenly over the periods the asset is in use, or according to the productivity value of the asset in each period.
b) Declining balance method of depreciation accelerates depreciation charge initially but the annual expense declines with age of the fixed asset. Under this method, depreciation expense is calculated by applying the depreciation rate to the book value of the asset at the start of the period.

On March 4 of 1999, XYZ Corporation takes out a $1 million loan. The company pays the interest semiannually. The six-month interest rate is six-month LIBOR 80 basis points, with a cap at 9.25%. Assume that LIBOR is at 8.5% on March 4, 1999, and 7.75% on September 4, 1999. What is the second interest payments on the loan
Answer: $85,500
Explanation:
From the question, we are told XYZ Corporation takes out a $1 million loan and the interest on the loan is paid semiannually.
We are also told that the six-month interest rate is six-month LIBOR 80 basis points, with a cap at 9.25%. Assume that LIBOR is at 8.5% on March 4, 1999, and 7.75% on September 4, 1999.
The second interest payments on the loan will be:
The interest rate will be:
Interest rate = LIBOR + 80bps
= 7.75 + 0.8
= 8.55%
Interest paid in the second period
= $1,000,000 × 8.55%
= $1,000,000 × 0.0855
= $85,500
Note that there is no need for using the cap since the interest didn't exceed 9.25%

You are trying to get a group of students interested in forming an organization to help fight fee increases at your college. Unfortunately, things don’t seem to be going very well—nobody in your group volunteered to go to a meeting with your college president next week. You want to create a culture that is active and involved. What should you do? A. Make sure that you do what you want your team to do. If you want them to volunteer, you need to volunteer, too. B. Don't talk about taking action. Instead, get to know your team members better. C. Paint a verbal picture for your team of what life would be like if fees were reduced. D. Make sure that anyone on your team who volunteers to take action gets a reward - publicly recognize their efforts.
Answer:
The correct action is the option B: Don't talk about taking action. Instead, get to know your team members better.
Explanation:
To begin with, if the person is trying to create a group that is involved in the situation and works together then the best option to take at the beginning would be to get to know them better, so in that way the person would understand them and know what motivates each one the members in order to make them understand as well why would be benefitial for everybody to fight the fee increases and he can do that by explaining to everyone how those increases would impact in what motivates them the most. So that is why, is better to understand them and explain them later how to take action.

Packing Orders 30,000 500 150 350
Required:
Prepare a schedule showing the computations Of the activity-based Overhead rates per cost driver.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Machine setup Setups $16,000 40 25 15
Machining Machine hours $110,000 5,000 1,000 4,000
Packing Orders $30,000 500 150 350
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= 16,000/(40+25+15)= $200 per setup
Machining= 110,000/ (5,000 + 1,000 + 4,000= $11 per machine hour
Packing= 30,000/ (500 + 150 + 350)= $30 per order

Answer: the answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that the account receivable ending balance was calculated as:
Credit sales = 156,000
Less: collection of account= 132,300
Less: written off = 6,300
= 17,400
The bad debt expense was calculated as:
= (17,400 × 10%) + 6300

2 brothers, Joe and Bob get equal dollar amounts of securities as a gift. Joe immediately sells his securities and deposits the money to a bank account. On the other hand, Bob keeps his securities positions and holds them in a brokerage account. After 5 years, Joe has $10,000 in his bank account, while Bob has $30,000 in his brokerage account. The $20,000 difference between the account balances is explained by:
Answer:
Opportunity cost
Explanation:
The opportunity cost Bob's brother Joe $20,000. Remember, the term Opportunity cost refers to the cost (loss in this context) incurred when one forgoes an alternative best option–holding them in a brokerage account, in place for a less beneficial one.
Thus, Bob chose the best alternative over his brother.

Identify whether each of the following examples belongs to Money aggregates (M1 or M2). If an example belongs in both, be sure to write it down.
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
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.

You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $21. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $2.04 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $24. The stock's beta is 1.2, rf is 8%, and E[rm] = 16%. What is the stock's abnormal return?A. 1%
B. 2%
C. -1%
D. -2%
E. None of the above
Answer:
E. None of the above
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the holding period return
Holding period return is the rate of return which an assets earns during the period in which it holds the assets.
Holding Period Return = (Selling Price - Initial Price + Dividend ) / Initial Price
Holding Period Return = ($24 - $21 + $2.04 ) / $21 = 0.24 = 24%
Now we need to calculate the expected return on the stock using CAPM formula as follow
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market Risk Premium )
Expected return = rf + beta ( E(rm) )
Placing values in the formula
Expected return = 8% + 1.2 ( 16% )
Expected return = 27.2%
Abnormal return is the difference of Holding period return and expected return
Abnormal return = 27.2% - 24% = 3.2%

Product A Product B
Initial investment:
Cost of equipment $290,000 $490,000
Annual revenues and costs:
Sales revenues $340,000 $440,000
Variable expenses $154,000 $206,000
Depreciation expense $58,000 $98,000
Fixed out-of-pocket
operating costs $79,000 $59,000
net cash flow $107,000 $175,000
The company's discount rate is 16%.
payback period
A = $290,000 / $107,000 = 2.71 years, A is preferred
B = $490,000 / $175,000 = 2.8 years
using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV and IRR
NPV
A = $60,349
B = $83,001, B is preferred
IRR
A = 25%, A is preferred
B = 23%
Project profitability
A = $350,349 / $290,000 = 1.21
B = $573,001 / $490,000 = 1.17
Simple rate of return
A = $535,000 / $290,000 = 184%, A is ´preferred
B = $875,000 / $490,000 = 179%

A project manager is preparing two documents for risk management. One contains sources of overall project risk and also summary information on individual risks. The second describes individual risks identified. What name should the project manager give to the first document
Answer: Risk Report
Explanation:
A Risk Report for a project contains all the risk that the project is exposed to. This includes both project risk as well as individual risks related to the components projects in the overall project.
A Risk Report details the risks such as Supplier failure, Inflation, Pending Government Regulations and the like. It then takes these and summarizes them for presentation to those who require this information in the company so that appropriate safeguards may be set up and precautions taken.
This describes the first document and so should be what the Project Manager names it.
Prince Electronics, a manufacturer of consumer electronic goods, has five distribution centers in different regions of the country. For one of its products, a highspeed modem priced at $330 per unit, the average weekly demand at each distribution center is 70 units. Average shipment size to each distribution center is 350 units, and average lead time for delivery is 2 weeks. Each distribution center carries 2 weeks' supply as safety stock but holds no anticipatory inventory.a. On average, how many dollars of pipeline inventory will be in transit to each distribution center?b. How much total inventory (cycle, safety, and pipeline) does Prince hold for all five distribution centers?
Answer:
a. $231,000
b. 2,450 units
Explanation:
a. On average, how many dollars of pipeline inventory will be in transit to each distribution center?
This is the inventory level that has to be in transit every 2 weeks in order to meet average demand. This can be calculated as follows:
Pipeline inventory = Number of distribution centers * Price per unit * Average weekly demand * Average delivery lead time = 5 * $330 * 70 * 2 = $231,000.
Therefore, the dollars of pipeline inventory that will be in transit to each distribution center is $231,000.
b. How much total inventory (cycle, safety, and pipeline) does Prince hold for all five distribution centers?
Inventory in hand = Average shipment size * Number of distribution centers = 350 * 5 = 1,750
Safety inventory = Number of distribution centers * Average weekly demand * Average delivery lead time = 5 * 70 * 2 = 700
Note: Safety inventory is the inventory held in the store for the purpose of meeting rise in demand or for overcoming delay in supply.
Inventory cycle = Inventory in hand - safety inventory = 1,750 - 700 = 1,050
Pipeline inventory = Number of distribution centers * Average weekly demand * Average delivery lead time = 5 * 70 * 2 = 700
Total inventory held = Inventory cycle + Safety inventory + Pipeline inventory = 1,050 + 700 + 700 = 2,450 units.
Therefore, the total inventory (cycle, safety, and pipeline) Prince holds for all five distribution centers is 2,450 units.
