1. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget from March?
2. What is the raw materials quantity variance from March?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. $1,200,000

2. -$80,000 U

Explanation:

1. What raw materials cost would be included in the company's flexible budget from March.

= Units produced and sold × Direct materials

= 30,000 units × 5 pounds × $8 per pound

= $1,200,000

2. What is the raw materials quantity variance from March.

=(Standard quantity for actual production - Actual quantity for actual production) × Standard price.

Standard quantity = 5 pounds × 30,000 units = 150,000 units

Actual quantity = 160,000 units

Standard price = 8

= (150,000 - 160,000) × $8

= -$80,000 U

You decide to invest $20,500 in Bank of America and $14,500 in Twitter. What is the portfolioâs beta? Bank of America beta: 1.27 Twitter beta: 1.96

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the beta of a portfolio containing two stock is as follows,

Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A  +  wB * Beta of B

Where,

w is the weight of each stock

As the investment in Stock of Bank of America is 20500 and the investment in stock of Twitter is 14500, the total investment in the portfolio will be,

Total investment = 20500 + 14500  =  35000

Portfolio Beta = 20500 / 35000 * 1.27  +  14500 / 35000 * 1.96

Portfolio Beta = 1.555857143 rounded off to 1.56

B is an upstream supply chain member, while A is the downstream chain memberd. C is an upstream supply chain member, while B is the downstream chain member

Answers

Answer:

a. A is an upstream supply chain member, while C is the downstream chain member

Explanation:

Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.

The key principle of supply chain management can be best summed up as collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing, a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.

Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.

Entity A supplies planed timber, paint, varnish, springs, upholstery, and cushioning to Entity B, which produces a ready to use furniture. Entity C is the marketing department of Entity B.

In this context, Entity A is an upstream supply chain member, while Entity C is the downstream chain member.

The upstream supply chain member are the suppliers of raw materials to another organization for its production line while the downstream chain member are the intermediary between the manufacturer and the consumer.

If a 7% increase in the price of cheese causes a 7% reduction in the total revenue received by cheese farmers, the demand for cheese is:A.Inelastic.B.Elastic.C.Unit elastic.D.Infinite

Answers

Answer:

C.Unit elastic

Explanation:

Unit elastic demand is the term that describes a scenario where a change in price causes a proportionate change in demand. It is one of the types of elastic demand. A good or service is said to have elastic demand if a small change in price causes a considerable change in the quantity demanded.

In the unit elastic demand, if a product price changes by a certain percentage, the demand will change by an equal percentage. In this scenario, a 7 percent price increase results in a 7 percent decrease in demand.

Giving customers time to pay their bill generates more sales. But when a recession hits, they may have trouble making payments. If you have businesses as clients, they may have slow-paying customers, and that means they will be slow to pay you. That is what happened to a company that offered a discount card as its primary product. The owner estimated that 50 percent of the firm's customers—other small businesses—were behind in paying what they owed. The owner needed those customers to keep his business operating, so he was hesitant to demand payment on past due accounts.
1. Should a small business owner push customers to pay when times are tough? Why or why not?
2. What problems do you think a business services company might have when is customers do not pay?

Answers

Answer:

1. A compromise should be reached.

In the recession, the other small businesses are suffering including the company in question. If the owner pushes the customers to pay their bills, when the recession ends they may move to other vendors which would have made demanding money from them in the recession a myopic and damaging move.

The business however, also has bills to pay and so needs money to maintain operations as well. A compromise needs to be reached. The owner should contact the other businesses still owing and negotiate with them to pay a certain portion of what they owe with the rest coming later.

This could give the owner enough to keep the business running whilst maintaining the loyalty of his customers.

2. Problems that a business services company could have if customers do not pay include;

Inability to pay staff. Inability to pay utilities like electricity.Inability to pay rent and other expenses.Increased risk of debt default.Growth of company suffers.

Accounting Vs. Economic Profit

Accounting profit:

Sales revenue $86,000

Business cost    40,000

Profit                $46,000

Economic profit:

Accounting profit $46,000

Opportunity cost    34,000

Profit                    $ 12,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Annual Wages for helper = $14,500

Annual Rent = $7,500

Annual Direct materials = $18,000

Business cost =   $40,000

Funds investment = $40,000

Opportunity cost (alternative option)

Interest on funds = $5,000

Wages                     23,000

Consulting fees       6,000

Total opportunity costs = $34,000

Total annual sales revenue = $86,000

b) Gomez's economic profit equals the accounting profit minus the expenses incurred for lost opportunities (alternative uses) of resources.  This means that the economic profit is always less than the accounting profit, which does not consider opportunity costs.

Becker Office Service purchased a new computer system in 2016 for $40,000. It is expected to have a five-year useful life and a $5,000 salvage value. The company expects to use the system more extensively in the early years of its life.
Required:
a. Calculate the depreciation expense for each of the five years, assuming the use of straight-line depreciation.
b. Calculate the depreciation expense for each of the five years, assuming the use of double-declining-balance depreciation.
c. Assume that Becker Office Service sold the computer system at the end of the fourth year for $15,000. Compute the amount of gain or loss using each depreciation method.

Answers

Answer:

a. Calculate the depreciation expense for each of the five years, assuming the use of straight-line depreciation.

The formula is:

Straight-line depreciation: (cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life

Depreciation: ($40,000 - $5,000) / 5

Depreciation = $7,000 for each year

b. Calculate the depreciation expense for each of the five years, assuming the use of double-declining-balance depreciation.

The formula is:

2 X (Cost of asset / useful life )

2 X ($40,000 / 5 )

Depreciation = $16,000 for first year

$9,600 for second year

$5,760 for the third year

$3,456 for fourth year

$184 for fifth year

c. Assume that Becker Office Service sold the computer system at the end of the fourth year for $15,000. Compute the amount of gain or loss using each depreciation method.

Under the straight line depreciation method, by the four year, we have an accumulated depreciation of $7,000 x 4 = $28,000, so the net book value of the asset is $40,000 - $28,000 = $12,000.

If the computer system is sold for $15,000, the capital gain is of $12,000.

Under the double declining method, accumulated depreciation by the four year is $34,816, so the book value of the asset is only $5,184, and the sale of $15,000 would net a capital gain of $9,816.

Tommy is about to order a steak dinner with a salad at his favorite restaurant. The restaurant recently raised its prices on steaks but kept its prices on salads the same. How might the real-income effect and the substitution effect influence Tommy’s order?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Each of these effects would most likely influence Tommy's order differently. The real-income effect would most likely cause Tommy to buy the large steak and salad regardless of the increase in price since individuals tend to spend more when they start making more money. The substitution effect on the other hand would most likely cause Tommy to order a smaller steak since it costs more but at the same time order, more salad since the price has not increased as the steak did.

Pearson's CFO estimates that the company's WACC is 12.20%. What is Pearson's cost of common equity? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

rE= 0.163333 or 16.3333% rounded off to 16.33%

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can contain one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate WACC of a firm with only two components including debt and equity is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1 - tax rate)  +  wE * rE

Where,

wD and wE represents the weight of debt and common equity respectively.rD and rE represents the cost of debt and common equity respectively.We take after tax cost of debt (1 - tax rate)

To calculate the cost of equity, we can plug in the values of remaining variables as given in the question in the above formula,

0.122= 0.4 * 0.08 * (1 - 0.25)  +  0.6 * rE

0.122 = 0.024 + 0.6 * rE

0.122 - 0.024  =  0.6 * rE

rE = 0.098 / 0.6

rE= 0.163333 or 16.3333% rounded off to 16.33%

The cost of common equity is based on the rate of return that investors require on the company's common stock. New common equity is raised in two ways: (1) by retaining some of the current year's earnings and (2) by issuing new common stock. Equity raised by issuing stock has a(n) ____________ cost, re, than equity raised from retained earnings, rs, due to flotation costs required to sell new common stock. Some argue that retained earnings should be "free" because they represent money that is left over after dividends are paid. While it is true that no direct costs are associated with retained earnings, this capital still has a cost, a(n) ______________ cost. The firm's after-tax earnings belong to its stockholders, and these earnings serve to compensate them for the use of their capital. The earnings can either be paid out in the form of dividends to stockholders who could have invested this money in alternative investments or retained for reinvestment in the firm. Therefore, the firm needs to earn at least as much on any earnings retained as the stockholders could earn on alternative investments of comparable risk. If the firm cannot invest retained earnings to earn at least rs, it should pay those funds to its stockholders and let them invest directly in stocks or other assets that will provide that return. There are three procedures that can be used to estimate the cost of retained earnings: the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the Bond-Yield-Plus-Risk-Premium approach, and the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach.

Answers

Answer:

Equity raised by issuing stock has a(n) HIGHER cost,

When a corporation issues new equity, they will always incur in underwriting costs and other legal expenses, e.g. the underwriter always charges a fee which can be fixed or a percentage, and the actual process of registering new stocks and issuing them costs money.

While it is true that no direct costs are associated with retained earnings, this capital still has a cost, a(n) OPPORTUNITY cost.

Opportunity costs are extra costs or benefits lost resulting from choosing one activity or investment from another alternative. In this case, the owners could invest the company's earnings somewhere else and they could earn money by doing so, e.g. buy corporate bonds or other stocks.

Answers

Answer:

A. 2.10 years

Explanation:

Use following formula to calculate the numbers of years to maturity of the bond.

Price of the bond  = [ Periodic Coupon payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + periodic yield to maturity )^-numbers of periods ) / Periodic yield to maturity ] + [ Face value / ( 1 + periodic yield to maturity )^numbers of periods

where

Price of the bond  = $832

Periodic Coupon payment = $1,000 x 6.5% x 6/12 = $32.5

Periodic yield to maturity = 16.28% x 6/12 = 8.14%

Face value = $1,000

Numbers of periods = ?

Placing values in the formula

$832  = [ $32.50 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 8.14% )^-numbers of periods ) / Periodic 8.14% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 8.14% )^numbers of periods ]

Paul agrees to sell his clothing store to Michael and, as part of the sale, to execute a covenant not to compete promising not to open a similar store within one thousand miles for the next twenty years. A court reviewing the terms of the covenant would likely find that it is:________. a) unenforceable because all covenants not to compete are unreasonable. b) unreasonable as to both geographical scope and duration c) unreasonable with regard to duration d) enforceable

Answers

Answer:

d) enforceable

Explanation:

A court reviewing the terms of the covenant would likely find that it is enforceable. This is a standard clause found in many contracts and is also known as Non-compete clause. It is standard because a seller that has the experience of running a similar business can sell the business collect the profit from the sale and open create another similar business with little to no capital and quickly outperform their previous business due to the amount of experience that they have. In order to prevent this, many buyers require this clause to be added to the sales contract.

Strategic PlanningImagine that IBM has decided to diversify into the telecommunications business to provide online cloud-computing data services and broadband access for businesses and individuals. What method would you recommend that IBM pursue to enter this industry? Why?

Answers

Answer:

IBM could either diversify by the strategy of market penetration, which consists in increasing the market share in a particular sector (in this case, cloud computing) through more marketing efforts.

Or it could integrate horizontally, acquiring a possible competitor that is more advanced in the cloud-computing business. Or even a start-up with good prospects, because with the amount of capital that IBM has, it could more easily expand the start-up operation as a new internal business division.

You are saving money for a down payment on a new house. You intend to place $7,500 at the end of each year for three years into an account earning 5% per year. At the end of the fourth year, you will place $10,000 into this account. How much money will be in the account at the end of the fourth year?

Answers

Answer:

$37,848.9

Explanation:

We can use the interest rate formula to figure out how much is in the account after the first 3 years. The interest rate formula is show below:

[tex]A = P (1 + r)^t[/tex]

Let me delineate what each part of this equation means:

A = The total amount

P = The initial amount of money put into the account

R = the interest rate

T = Time

The equation gives us the following:

You place $7,500 each year for three years The interest rate is 5%At the end of the 4th year $10,000 will be placed in the account

First, let's calculate the P in the equation.

You put $7,500 each year for 3 years, so multiply 7,500 by 3.

[tex](7,500) * (3) = 22,500[/tex]

Next, let's start putting everything into the equation, like this:

[tex]A = 22,500(1 + .05)^3[/tex]

(When doing interest rate you have to move the decimal over twice)

Now that we have the equation, let's solve it!

[tex]A = 22,500(1.05)^3\\A = 22,500(1.15763)\\A = 26,046.6[/tex]

After 3 years $26,046.6 is in the account.

But, don't forget the last part of the question!

But you have a fourth year too!

Add the $10,000 onto the $26,046.6

That equals $36,046.6.

Lets plug this back into the equation for the final year

[tex]A = 36046.6(1.05)^1\\A = 37848.9[/tex]

Thus, the final answer will be $37,848.9

Hope this helps!

After saving the money for the four years and by adding $10,000 in the end of fourth year the money the amount that will be saved is $48,942.23.

What is Future Value?

The temporal value of money is based on the simple notion that one dollar today is worth more than one dollar in the future. This is because one can invest the dollar they have today and have it increase at a rate of return, or interest, over time.

The formula for future value is-

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{FV}&=\text{CF}\times\dfrac{(1+r)^n-1}{\text{r}}+\text{FV}\\&=\$7,500\times\dfrac{(1+0.05)^4-1}{0.05}+\$7,500\\&=\$48,942.23\end{aligned}[/tex]

Thus, the future value by the end of the fourth year is $48,942.23.

The demand for football tickets is Q = 360 â 10P and the supply of football tickets is Q= 20P. The government levies a per-ticket tax of $4, which is paid by consumers. Calculate the after-tax price paid by consumers. Calculate the gross price received by ticket sellers. What are consumerâs and producerâs tax burdens?

Answers

Answer:

After tax price paid by consumers

Supply function n terms of price;

P = Q / 20

P = 0.05Q

Add the tax;

P = 0.05Q + 4

Demand function in terms of price is;

Q = 360 – 10P

P = (Q - 360) / -10

Price will be;

Demand = Supply

(Q - 360) / -10 = 0.05Q + 4

36 - 0.1Q = 0.05Q + 4

0.15Q = 32

Q = 213

After tax price = 36 - 0.1Q

= 36 - 0.1 * (213)

= $14.70

Gross price for ticket sellers is;

= Price - tax

= 14.7 - 4

= $10.70

Consumer and Producer tax burden.

Without tax, price is;

36 - 0.1Q = 0.05Q

0.15Q = 36

Q = 240

P = 36 - 0.1 * 240

= $12

Consumer tax burden = 14.70 - 12 = $2.70

Producer tax burden = Tax - consumer tax burden = 4 - 2.7 = $1.30

Eileen and Hal, a married couple filing jointly, received $10,000 of Series I bond interest in 2020. If all the proceeds of the redeemed bond were used to pay qualified education expenses and their modified adjusted gross income exceeded the applicable dollar amount by $30,000, how much of the bond interest could they exclude from income?

Answers

Answer:

$0 amount of interest to be excluded from Income

Explanation:

Interest income on bond can be excluded from Income if following two condition are fulfill.,

a) Bond are Series 1 or Series EE bond bought after 1989

b) Redemption money is used for the payment or Expense of Qualified Education expense

If the boNd amount is more then Qualified Expense only amount of Interest can be excluded from the Income . and Further this interest are phase out if exceed the threshold based on the level of Modified Adjusted Gross Income.  Phaseout Threshold for Couple filling jointly for 2020 is $123,550 and phaseout limit is $153,550

As Given that MAGI exceeds the phaseout threshold by $30000

Phaseout Reduction = Redemption amount × Income Exceed by Phaseout thresold / (Differences of Phaseout thresold - Phaseout limit ie $30000)

Phaseout Reduction = 10000×30000/(153550-123550)

Phaseout Reduction = 10000

Tax free Redemption amount of Bond = $10000-$10000

Tax free Redemption amount of Bond = $0

$0 amount of interest to be excluded from Income

Let's solve this step by step:

Interest income on bond can be excluded from Income if following two condition are fulfill.,

a) Bond are Series 1 or Series EE bond bought after 1989

b) Redemption money is used for the payment or Expense of Qualified Education expense

If the bond amount is more then Qualified Expense only amount of Interest can be excluded from the Income and further this interest are phase out if exceed the threshold based on the level of Modified Adjusted Gross Income.

Phaseout Threshold for Couple filling jointly for 2020 is $123,550 and phaseout limit is $153,550

As Given that MAGI exceeds the phaseout threshold by $30000

Phaseout Reduction = Redemption amount × Income Exceed by Phaseout thresold / (Differences of Phaseout thresold - Phaseout limit i.e. $30000)

Phaseout Reduction = [tex]\frac{10000 *30000}{(153550-123550)}[/tex]

Phaseout Reduction = 10000

Tax free Redemption amount of Bond = $10000-$10000

Tax free Redemption amount of Bond = $0

Forward Rate = Spot rate * (1 +rate*180/360)

1.275 = Spot rate * (1 + 0.05*180/360)

Spot rate = $1.2439/Mark

Now we are asked rate per dollar

$1 = (1/1.2439)Mark

$1 = 0.8039 Mark
