Q1 The following is a description of the conversion cycle of Central Production Limited: The conversion cycle of the company is triggered by a report from the warehouse. When the quantity of an inventory item falls below a pre-set minimum level, the warehouse manager sends an online inventory status report to production department advising them to schedule a production batch run for the item. Upon receipt of the report, the production clerk assesses the digital bill of materials and the route sheet files for the item to be produced and adds the production details to the online production schedule. The system automatically adds a record to the open work order file and sends an online work order to the work centre supervisor’s computer and to the accounting clerk’s computer. The work centre supervisor receives the work order from his computer and print hard-copy move tickets and materials requisitions for each production process. Production employees take the materials requisitions to store clerk and receives the materials and subassemblies needed to perform the production tasks. If additional materials beyond the standard amount is needed, the work centre supervisor prepares additional materials requisitions. Production employees complete job time tickets after completing a production process to record the time spent on the job. The job time tickets are then sent together with the move tickets to the accounting department. After releasing the materials into production, the store clerk updates the material inventory records and send the materials requisitions to accounting department. The clerk prepares a journal voucher and posts to the general ledger material control account at the end of each day. The accounting clerk assesses the work orders and set up a work-in-process account for a production batch. Throughout the production period, the clerk also receives move tickets, job tickets, and materials requisitions, which he uses to post to the work-in-process account. At the end of each day, the accounting clerk prepares a digital journal voucher and post it to the general ledger work-inprocess and finished goods control accounts.

(10 marks, maximum 300 words) Q5 The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently had the following conversation regarding the development of a new information system for the company: CIO: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing key documents and observing the workers performing their tasks. Then we can determine which aspects are working well and which should be preserved. MD: We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead we get a modified version of the old system. CIO: I can assure you that will not happen this time. My team just want a thorough understanding of what is working well and what is not. MD: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We should spend more time in determining what exactly we want the system to do upfront. Then your team can come in and determine what portions to salvage if you wish. Just don’t constrain us to the old system! Required: a) The CIO and MD have different views on how the system analysis should be performed. Comment on whose position you sympathise with the most. (6 marks, maximum 200 words) b) What method would you recommend to Illustrious Limited for system analysis? Explain. (4 marks, maximum 150 words)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

To my view, the MD viewpoint is better. In companies the existing process is usually analyzed and the pain points identified whenever there is a need for change. The new system is simply a change to the existing system. The stakeholders' specific needs are not completely addressed. The MD calls for a collection of and analysis of demands from scratch to share its needs , requirements and inhibitions between the principal stakeholders. The CIO and their staff would be able to assess in the requirements review process what worked and what did not work well for the organization.

In assessing the current process, the CIO and his team will align their thinking process with the pain points and correct the existing system. They are not going to build the system in a fresh light. A new system that meets the needs of stakeholders can be developed. For everybody, this is a win-win situation. The point of view of MD is therefore more logical and related.

b)

In the particular case, the most logical and comprehensive system analysis method is:

Primary stakeholder requirements collection: Primary stakeholders using the system must be consulted on their specific requirements and needs. It is also necessary to consider the limitations identified by stakeholders.

Comprehension of existing system and pain points: the current system can be analysed based on requirements collection and pain points can be emphasized in the current system.

A new system that will win for everyone: the new system must primarily comply with the needs of the stakeholders.

Presentation and approval of the system blueprint to stakeholders

Development and implementation of the system: system development can be carried out by the agile method of sprinting.

Monitoring and control of the system: to check for performance deviations, the system implemented should be observed. In order to monitor deviations, specific intervention can be implemented.

an investment that in today's dollars returns 12% of your investment in year 1, 18% in year 2, 11% in year 3, and the remainder in year 4. Rounded to two places, what is the Duration of this investment

Answers

Answer:

3.17 years

Explanation:

We can calculate the duration of Investment by duration formula,

Duration= Sum of (PV of each cashflow x year)

PV of each cash flow can be understood as Dolar return % given in the Question.

                   Year1        Year2         Year3         Year4

           

Duration= (12% x 1) + (18% x 2) + (11% x 3) + (59% x 4)

Duration= 0.12 + 0.36 + 0.33 + 2.36

Duration= 3.17 years

Note: (100%-12%-18%-11%)59% can be calculated as the remainder of 100% after deducting each year's %.

You have $13,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 11.45 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y

Answers

Answer:

You should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.

Explanation:

These can be estimated as follows:

PER = (ERX * wX) + (ERY * wY) ....................... (1)

Where,

PER = Portfolio expected return = 11.45%, or 0.1145

ERX = Expected return of X = 13%, or 0.13

ERY = Expected retun of Y = 8%, or 0.08

wX = Weight of X = ?

wY = Weight of Y = 1 - wX = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

0.1145 = [0.13 * wX] + [0.08 * (1 - wX)]

0.1145 = 0.13wX + [0.08 - 0.08wX]

0.1145 = 0.13wX + 0.08 - 0.08wX

0.1145 - 0.08 = 0.13wX - 0.08wX

0.0345 = 0.05wX

wX = 0.0345 / 0.05

wX = 0.69

Since wY = 1 - wX

Therefore,

wY = 1 - 0.69

wY = 0.31

Total amount to invest = $13,000

Investment in stock X = Amount to invest * 0.69 = $13,000 * 0.69 = $8,970

Investment in stock Y = Amount to invest * 0.31 = $13,000 * 0.31 = $4.030

Therefore, you should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.

Moody Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 157,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 650,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.40 Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 320 Direct labor cost $ 230 Machine-hours used 37 Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 400. 3. If Job 400 includes 50 units, what is the unit product cost for this job

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated machine-hours= 157,000

Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead= $650,000

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $4.40

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overehad rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (650,000/157,000) + 4.4

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.54 per machine-hour

Job 400:

Direct materials $320

Direct labor cost $230

Machine-hours used 37

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated overhead= 8.54*37= $315.98

Finally, we need to determine the unitary cost for Job 400:

Total cost= 320 + 230 + 315.98= $865.98

Unitary cost= 865.98/50= $17.32

Suppose there are 11 buyers and 11 sellers, each willing to buy or sell one unit of a good, with values {$14, $13, $12, $11, $10, $9, $8, $7, $6, $5, $4,}. Assume no transaction costs and a competitive market. If there is a market maker in this market. What is the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker? a. ​$9 bid; $9 ask b. ​$6 bid; $12 ask c. ​$8 bid; $10 ask d. ​$7 bid; $11 ask

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question given; The objective here is to determine the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker. In order to achieve that; The demand supply schedule of the number of units bought and sold need to be computed which is shown in the table below.

Price       Quantity demanded by buyers        Quantity sold by sellers

$14                 1                                                         11

$13                 2                                                         10

$12                 3                                                         9

$11                  4                                                         8

$10                 5                                                         7

$9                  6                                                         6

$8                  7                                                         5

$7                  8                                                         4

$6                  9                                                         3

$5                 10                                                         2

$4                  11                                                         1

However; As the two transactions are happening simultaneously; There are 11 people participating in buying of a good and selling from one person to the other.

But the maximum even number of people that can be part of this trade is only 10 people.

So; for the individual having an higher value for the good will be able to afford it and which are those that falls into the category of  $14,$13,$12,$11,$10,$9 can place bid for the good.

On the other hand,  the individual having a lower  value for the good will sell it and which are those that falls into the category of  $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9 and would want to  sell it for the ask price of the good.

In this trend, we understand that the individual valuing the good for $9 won't be able to participate due to the fact that He appears on both trends because in the demand side , he have the lowest willingness to pay and at the seller's side he has the the highest value for the good and that the equilibrium price in this market is $ 9 because at this price the quantity demanded equals quantity supplied .

Thus; we can conclude that there are 5 transactions in the maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker.

On the basis of this​ information, find the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016. ​


Answers

Answer:

The annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%

Explanation:

In order to Calcualte the Holding Period Return for 2012 through 2016

we would have to use and calculate the following formula :

HPR = [(P1-P0) +D] / P0

P0 = Beginning value of stock = $39.26

P1 = The closing value of stock = $111.07

D = Dividends received during the year =($0.75 + $0.99 + $0.96 + $1.65 + $2.05) = $6.40

Substituting all the values in the formula , we will get Holding period return

HPR = [($111.07 - $39.26) + $6.40] / $39.26

= $78.21/ $39.26

= 1.9921

= 199.21%

Therefore, the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%

company's perpetual preferred stock currently sells for $92.50 per share, and it pays an $8.00 annual dividend. If the company were to sell a new preferred issue, it would incur a flotation cost of 5.00% of the issue price. What is the firm's cost of preferred stock? Note: when flotation costs are given as a percentage instead of in dollar terms, the denominator in the formula changes from (P-F) to P*(1-F). Hint: remember that for preferred stock the growth rate of the dividend is zero.

Answers

Answer:

The firm's cost of preferred stock is  9.10%

Explanation:

The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)

The dividend per year is $8

The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)

where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%

adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88  

Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100  = 9.10%

B. What are the company policies when it comes to handling bribery?

This is a good question to ask because it aims to find out how the company deals with a very important ethical issue which is that of bribery. Your supervisor needs to tell you how the company normally deals with bribery so that you can act appropriately and abide by the ethics of the company.

B. Inform the executive that this extra $10,000 wasn’t in the original contract. Avoid assuming unethical behavior until you clarify what he is asking for in relation to the agreed-upon contract.

You should tell the Executive that the sum of money he is requesting for was not in the original budget and inquire to know why he needs it so that you may know if it is something you can acquire. It is sometimes best to wait for an explanation first before rushing to conclusions and this is one of those times.

A. Find alternatives.

B. Don’t rationalize shady decisions.

D. Refuse business if it violates you basic values.

When dealing with other culture and you see that there are different values from the ones you are used to and therefore different ways of doing things, it is imperative that you find alternatives to your course if action that can still serve your purpose while not antagonizing the people.

Also very important to to avoid rationalizing shady deals because once you start you will find that UNETHICAL decisions are easy to engage in.

Also as much as you are in a different cultures, some behaviours will always be unethical, refusing business that violates your basic values shoeshowss Moral Initiative.

A. Team members with different backgrounds come up with more effective problem-solving techniques, providing your company with a competitive advantage over other companies.

As the saying goes, "two heads are better than one". This is very important in teams with diversity because different cultures and backgrounds have evolved differently and found out different ways to come up with solutions to problems with some being better than others. Having team members from various backgrounds brings that information together to chart a better path forward which can then give a Competitive Advantage.

City Auto Parts recently traded in store fixtures. The exchange had commercial substance. The old fixtures had a cost of $48,000 and accumulated depreciation of $14,000. City paid $101,000 for the new store fixtures. These new fixtures had a market value of $117,000. There is a loss of $18,000 on this exchange.True or False

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is true

Explanation:

The book value of the old fixtures at the date of exchange which is the cost less accumulated depreciation till date is computed thus:

Book value of old fixtures=$48,000-$14,000=$34000

Expected cash payable by the company for the new fixtures is the market value of the new fixtures minus the carrying value of the old fixtures.

Expected cash=$117,000-$34,000=$83,000.00  

Loss on the exchange =cash paid -expected cash payable=$101,000-$83,000=$18000

A rich donor gives a hospital $ 960 comma 000 one year from today. Each year after​ that, the hospital will receive a payment 5 ​% larger than the previous​ payment, with the last payment occurring in ten​ years' time. What is the present value​ (PV) of this​ donation, given that the interest rate is 9 ​%?

Answers

Answer:

$7,560,000

Explanation:

To solve this problem, the Present Value (PV) of a growing annuity formula is used.

The Present Value of a growing annuity is the current value of a series of payments which grows or diminishes at a constant rate each period.

The formula below represents the PV of a growing annuity:

[tex]PV=PMT *\frac{(1-(1+g)^{n}*(1+i)^{-n}) }{i-g}[/tex],  ............................................. (i)

where,

PV = Present Value = ?

PMT = Periodic Payment = $960,000

i = Interest Rate = 9% = 0.09

g = Growth Rate = 5% = 0.05

n = Number of periods = 10 years

Substituting these values in equation (i), we have

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1+0.05)^{10}*(1+0.09)^{-10} }{0.09-0.05}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.05^{10})*(1.09)^{-10}) }{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-(1.63*0.42))}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{(1-0.685)}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*\frac{0.315}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]PV=960000*7.875[/tex]

[tex]PV=$7,560,000[/tex]

PV = $7,560,000

He uses $40,000 of the loan to buy a building and the remaining $20,000 for equipment. During the first year, the store has a loss of $24,000. How much of the loss can Carlos deduct if the loan from the bank is nonrecourse

Answers

Answer:

$30,000

$6,000

Explanation:

Carlos risk = $30,000

Carlos risk of $30,000 is the amount of funds which he had invested in the course of his business which is why Carlos is not considered at-risk for the nonrecourse loan reason been that carlos is not found liable because the loan was not used in the business which makes him to have a risk of $30,000.

$24,000 loss that occured will reduces Carlos’ amount at-risk to $6,000

($30,000 - $24,000)

=$6,000

Porter's Five Forces framework has been around since the 1980's and has been very effective in evaluating industry attractiveness. Changes in the dynamic nature of industries has not impacted the usefulness of the tool. The tool has no limitations. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Porter's Five Forces framework is a list of factors which provide an explanation to the forces affecting competition in industries. These five forces include;

1. Competition in the industry

2. Potential of new entrants into the industry

3. Power of suppliers

4. Power of customers

5. Threat of substitute products

Over the years, these five forces have been used in explaining the structure of certain industries. The framework however has limitations, some of which include,

1. It is not in terms with current realities, such as new advancements in technology which were not available as at the time the framework was formed.

2.  Some companies operate different structures, whereas, the framework classifies each industry under one structure.

3. There is the possibility of industries to give equal consideration to all five factors, whereas in reality only some of the factors might be applicable to them.

4. Individual companies instead of industries now use the framework to make their business analysis which is not the real reason for the development of the framework. It was meant for industries as a whole.

a. No deduction can be claimed this year.

b. $5.50 million

c. $2,500,000

d. $5.50 million only if the professional golf tournament is played before April 15.

Answer:

Since Ajax Computer company is an accrual method calender-year tax payer, the computer company would recognize the expenses only when such expenses are incurred and not at the time that cash is being paid for the the expenses

Ajax computer company already paid in advance for both advertisements the following year even though the advertisement eanst taking place that year.

Option A costs an initial $2 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $5 per bottle of spirits. Option B costs an initial $4 billion and will involve variable costs (labor and material) of $3 per bottle of spirits. Assuming an annual capital charge equal to 10 percent of the initial costs, what is the average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility

Answers

Answer: 20

Explanation:

Total cost of Option B = 4 billion

Total fixed cost = 10% of 4 billion

= 10/100 × 4,000,000,000

= 0.1 × 4,000,000,000

= 400,000,000

The average fixed cost is the total cost divided by the total number of output that is given. In this case, this can be calculated as:

= 400,000,000/20,000,000

= 20

The average fixed cost at production level of 20,000,000 bottles per year for the Option B facility will be 20.

Suppose that General Motors Acceptance Corporation issued a bond with 10 years until​ maturity, a face value of $ 1 comma 000​, and a coupon rate of 7.0 % ​(annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 6.0 %. What was the price of this bond when it was​ issued?

Answers

Answer:

$1,073.60

Explanation:

bond's current price = PV of face value + PV of coupons

maturity = 10 years

face value = $1,000

coupon rate = 7% annual

market rate = 6%

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ =$558.39

PV of coupons = coupon x annuity factor (10 years, 6%) = $70 x 7.3601 = $515.21

market value at issue date = $558.39 + $515.21 = $1,073.60

since the bond's coupon rate was higher than the market rate, the bond was sold at a premium.

Burrito King (a new fast-food franchise opening up nationwide) has successfully automated burrito production for its drive-up fast-food establishments. The Burro-Master 9000 requires a constant 30 seconds to produce a batch of burritos. It has been estimated that customers will arrive at the drive-up window according to a Poisson distribution at an average of one every 45 seconds. To help determine the amount of space needed for the line at the drive-up window

A. What is the average line length (in cars)?

B. What is the average number of cars in the system (both in line and at the window)?

C. What is the expected average time in the system?

Answers

Answer:

(A)0.6600 (B) 1.325 (C) 0.997 or 1 minute

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The constant rate = 30 seconds

The arrival rate according to Poisson distribution is = 45 seconds

Now,

(A) We solve for the average length line of cars

The formula is given below:

Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)

Here,

λ = this is the mean time of arrival rate

μ = This is the mean service rate

Thus we compute for the mean time arrival rate which is given below:

The mean arrival rate λ = arrival rate/ 60 seconds

= 60/45

= 1.33 customer per minute

Then we solve for the means service rate which is given below

The mean service rate μ = 60 seconds/ mean rate

= 60/30 = 2 customer per minute

We will now solve for the average line length in cars which is shown below:

Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)

Lq = 1.33²/2*2 (2-1.33)

Lq = 1.7689/4 (0.67)

Lq = 1.7689/2.68

Lq = 0.6600

Therefore the average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars

(B) We solve for the average number of cars in the system

Ls =Lq + λ /μ

Ls =0.600 + 1.33/2

Ls =0.6600 + 0.665

Ls = 1.325

(C) Finally we need to find the expected average time in the system which is shown below:

Ws = Ls/λ

Ws= 1.325/1.33 = 0.997 or 1.00

The expected time average  in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.

(A) The average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars

(B) Ls = 1.325  

(C)The predicted time standard in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.

What is Average Time?

The constant rate = 30 seconds

The arrival rate according to Poisson disbandment is = 45 seconds

(A) We solve for the average stature line of cars

The formula is given below:

Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)

Here,

λ = this is the meantime of arrival rate

μ = This is the mean service rate

Thus we compute for the meantime arrival rate which is given below:

The mean formation rate λ = arrival rate/ 60 seconds

= 60/45

= 1.33 customer per minute

Then we solve for the concessions service rate which is given below

The mean service rate μ = 60 seconds/ mean rate

= 60/30 = 2 consumer per minute

We will now solve for the average line length in cars which is shown below:

Lq = λ²/ 2μ ( μ -λ)

Lq = 1.33²/2*2 (2-1.33)

Lq = 1.7689/4 (0.67)

Lq = 1.7689/2.68

Lq = 0.6600

Hence the average length in line for cars is 0.6600 cars

(B) We solve for the average number of cars in the system

Ls =Lq + λ /μ

Ls =0.600 + 1.33/2

Ls =0.6600 + 0.665

Ls = 1.325

(C) Finally we need to find the anticipated average time in the system which is shown below:

Ws = Ls/λ

Ws= 1.325/1.33 = 0.997 or 1.00

The predicted time standard in the system is 0.997 or 1.00 minutes.

CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). (a) What effect does this have on the income statement? (b) Prepare a cost of goods sold statement.

Answers

Answer:

1. Calculate (a) the product cost for one tent

$46

and (b) the total product cost for last year.

$9,200,000

2. (a) Prepare an income statement for external users.

                                    Laworld Inc.

                                Income Statement

Total revenue                                                          $12,000,000

Cost of goods sold:

Direct materials $3,600,000Direct labor $2,400,000Manufacturing overhead $3,200,000        

Total COGS                                                             ($9,200,000)

Gross profit                                                               $2,800,000

Operating expenses:

Sales commissions $400,000Advertising expenses $100,000Administrative expenses $300,000

Total operating expenses                                        ($800,000)

Net profit from operations                                      $2,000,000

(b) Did you need to prepare a supporting statement of cost of goods manufactured? Explain.

No, since the COGS were fairly simple (no beginning or ending inventory) you can just squeeze the information.

3. Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at $40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). (a) What effect does this have on the income statement?

Both gross profit and net profit would increase since COGS would be lower: COGS = (10,000 x $40) + (190,000 x $46) = $9,140,000, which is $60,000 less.

(b) Prepare a cost of goods sold statement.

Incurred costs:

Direct materials                                                            $3,600,000

Direct labor                                                                   $2,400,000

Manufacturing overhead                                             $3,200,000

Cost of goods manufactured                                      $9,200,000

Beginning inventory of finished units                            $400,000

Ending inventory of finished units                                ($460,000)

Cost of goods sold                                                       $9,140,000

Explanation:

revenue = 200,000 x $60 = $12,000,000

manufacturing costs:

Direct materials $18 x 200,000 = $3,600,000Direct labor $12 x 200,000 = $2,400,000Manufacturing overhead $16 x 200,000 = $3,200,000total = $9,200,000

product cost per unit = $18 + $12 + $16 = $46

S&A expenses:

sales commission of $2 x 200,000 = $400,000advertising totaling $100,000administrative expenses $300,000total $800,000
