Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Queensland Wale -18%

New South Wales-21%

The manager of New South seems to be doing  a better job with a higher return on investment of 21%

Explanation:

Return on investment stated in terms of margin and turnover combines the margin formula and the asset the turnover formula as below:

Return on investment=Net operating income/sales*sales/average operating assets:

Queensland Wales:

Net operating income is $360,000

sales is $4,000,000

average operating assets is $2,000,000

return on investment=$360,000/$4000,000*$4000,000/$2000,0=18%

New South :

Net operating income is $420,000

sales is $7,000,000

average operating assets is $2,000,000

return on investment=$420,000/$7000,000*$7000,000/$2000,000=21%

Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data

Answers

Answer:

a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Step-by-step Explanation:

==>Given:

Class of ages in yrs

No. of cases of each class = f

Midpoint of each class = x

Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx

==>Required:

a. Mean

b. Median

c. Mode

==>SOLUTION:

a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf

Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75

Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5

Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw

Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.

Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5

Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35

fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22

Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10

Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [25/22]

= 34.5 + 1.1

= 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw

Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]

Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2

∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9

Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10

Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10

= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10

= 34.5 + [20/11]

= 34.5 + 1.8

Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Fleet Delivery Corporation is a public company with a market capitalization of less than $75 million. Fleet is poised to issue securities in a transaction that, under the Securities Act of 1933, is "exempt." This enables Fleet to ______________.

Answers

Answer:

This enables Fleet to reduce costs of regulatory compliance in relation to the security issue

Explanation:

When a company is exempt under the Securities Act of 1993,this implies that when issuing securities in the market place,the stock exchange ,the company is not required to produce audited financial statements.

Auditing financial statements sometimes cost fortunes especially when it is also required that one of the Big-4 professional firms is to be consulted.

By not requiring audited financials,the costs of audit is saved,hence cost of compliance with exchange rules is reduced overall

The Baldwin company will continue to train their existing workforce at their current level to help reduce turnover and improve productivity next year. Employee training costs $20 per hour. How much would their training costs per employee be to the nearest dollar

Answers

Answer: $1,600

Explanation:

The training hours per employee can be calculated by multiplying the Employee Training hours by the cost of training per employee.

From the Attached document, the Baldwin company does 80 hours of training for employees.

The Training costs per Employee is;

= 80 * 20

= $1,600

If the Baldwin Company organizes 80 hours of training for each employer in a given year, and the training cost per hour for an employee is $20, it implies that the training costs per employee would be $1,600 ($20 x 80).

Data and Calculations:

Training costs per employee per hour = $20

Training hours per employee in a year  80 hours

Total training costs per employee in a year = $1,600 ($20 x 80)

Thus, the Baldwin Company spends $1,600 per employee in training them so that employee turnover would be reduced while productivity improves.

Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answers

Answer:

$93,725,580.00

Explanation:

The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment  plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.

Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00  

Face amount=$107,000,000

The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is  12.4090  

The discount factor for the face value is  0.1314  

Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00  

In 2001, President George W. Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan were both concerned about a sluggish U.S. economy. They also were concerned about the large U.S. trade balance deficit. To help stimulate the economy, President Bush proposed a tax cut. What are the effects of the proposed policy using the IS-LM model

Answers

Answer:

The answer is given below.

Explanation:

The effect of this tax cut would be a resultant shift in the IS curve to the right, resulting in higher interest rates, currency appreciation, and bigger current account deficits. The tax cut would encourage consumers to spend more and, thereby increasing planned expenditure. The tax cut raises both income and the interest rate.

Suppose that a labor economist performs a statistical analysis on economywide worker wages using standard, measurable explanatory factors, such as job characteristics, years of schooling, and so forth. How much of the variation in worker wages can be accounted for by such measurable explanatory factors

Answers

Answer: Somewhat less than 50%

Explanation:

Here is the complete question;

Suppose that a labor economist performs a statistical analysis on economywide worker wages using standard, measurable explanatory factors, such as job characteristics, years of schooling, and so forth. How much of the variation in worker wages can be accounted for by such measurable explanatory factors?

a. Somewhat less than 50%.

b. Somewhat more than 60%

c. Nearly 100%

d. About 0%?

The variables which are typically removed from the quantitative analysis of wages are those which cannot be directly measured, directly observed or normative in nature.

Chance plays a vital role in deciding ones wage, the type of job one applies for and gets, and the salary that can be gotten. Chance cannot neither be measured nor observed. Natural ability cannot also be quantified, observed or measured. These variables are also subject to normative judgement.

Based on this analysis, the measurable traits will account for less than 50% of total variation in the wages.

At $35 per hour, he is willing to teach 16 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Teresa’s labor supply between the wages of $25 and $35 per hour is approximately _________ , which means that Teresa’s supply of labor over this wage range is _________

Answers

Answer:

2.75, elastic.

Explanation:

Measure labor supply elasticity of Individual T's as follows :

              [tex]\bf Elasticity=\frac{Percent \;change\;in\;labour\;hr}{\frac{Average\;labour\;hour}{\frac{Percent\;change\;in\;wage\;price}{Average\;wage\;price} } }[/tex]

                                [tex]\bf =\frac{16-6}{\frac{16+6}{\frac{2}{\frac{35-25}{\frac{35+25}{2} } } } }[/tex]

                                [tex]\bf=\frac{10}{\frac{11}{\frac{10}{30} } }[/tex]

                                [tex]\bf=\frac{0.91}{0.33}[/tex]

                                [tex]=2.75[/tex]

Therefore, the elasticity of the labour supply of Individual T's is approx. of earnings per hour. 2.75, meaning that the work supply of Person T's is elastic across this wage range

Skip owns a business. Since demand is on the rise, he decided to purchase an upgraded machine that will produce four times as fast as his previous machine. The cost of the new machine is $400,000 and will be the only depreciable property that Skip places in service during 2019. What is the amount of his Section 179 deduction for 2019

Answers

Answer: $400,000

Explanation:

According to Section 179 on deducting Expenses issued by the IRS, a company may deduct the cost of certain assets when they are first put into service.

The Assets include tangible assets such as equipment and machinery so long as they are purchased for business use.

Skip bought the equipment for $400,000 and as such can deduct this entire amount under Section 179.

Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a return on investment of 20% and its manager is evaluated based on the division's ROI, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But before reaching any decision, first we have to find out the ROI for new investment which is

ROI of new investment = net operating income ÷ investment

= $12,950 ÷ $70,000

=  18.50%

Now

If investment taken place, then overall ROI is

= Total net operating income ÷ Total average operating assets

= ($380,000 + $12,950) ÷ ($2,000,000 + $70,000)

= 18.98%

As we can see that the overall ROI i.e 18.98% is less than the currently ROI i.e 20% so he should not recommend ROI as it is shows fallen

What is the total overhead applied?
Total overhead applied $

Answers

Answer:

Total allocated overhead= $2,081,094

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For 2017, the company had 11,300 orders and used 51,200 machine hours, and labor hours totaled 491,000

Overhead rates for each activity:

Ordering and receiving= $7.22 per order

Food processing= $7.79 per machine hour

Packaging= $3.26 per labor hour

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

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

Ordering and receiving= 7.22*11,300= $81,586

Food processing= 7.79*51,200= $398,848

Packaging= 3.26*491,000= $1,600,660

Total overhead= $2,081,094

Mayfair Co. allows select customers to make purchases on credit. Its other customers can use either of two credit cards: Zisa or Access. Zisa deducts a 3% service charge for sales on its credit card and credits the bank account of Mayfair immediately when credit card receipts are deposited. Mayfair deposits the Zisa credit card receipts each business day. When customers use Access credit cards, Mayfair accumulates the receipts for several days before submitting them to Access for payment. Access deducts a 2% service charge and usually pays within one week of being billed. Mayfair completes the following transactions in June.

One that is built from the external labor market b. One that is built from the internal labor market c. One that is homogeneous d. One that is heterogeneous

Answers

Answer:

D. One that is heterogeneous

Explanation:

It is important that Tim Cook assembles a heterogeneous top management team.

A heterogeneous top management team introduces a variety of perspectives to the company with greater possibility for strong competitive action. It creates more tendencies for people to think outside the box, giving way to more creative decision making, innovation, and strategic actions. It also promotes debate.

Therefore Tim Cook should assemble a heterogeneous top management team since innovation is one of its characteristics.

You own a portfolio that has a total value of $130,000 and a beta of 1.28. You have another $49,000 to invest and you would like the beta of your portfolio to decrease to 1.18. What does the beta of the new investment have to be in order to accomplish this

Answers

Answer:βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

Explanation:

Total investment= $130,000 + $49,000=  $179,000

Using

Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB

Where βp is the portfolio beta coefficient,

wA is the weight of the first investment,

βA is the beta coefficient of first investment;

wB is the weight of the second investment,

βB is the beta coefficient of second investment

but weight of investment is  stock value/ total investment x 100

wA= 130,000/ 179,000X 100=72.63%

WB= 49,000/179,000 X100=27.374%

Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB

1.18=(72.63%*1.28)+(27.374% XβB  )  

1.18=0.9296+0.27374βB  

βB i=(1.18-0.9298)/0.27374

βB =0.9147=beta of new investment

Data collected from the economy of Pokerville reveals that a 16% increase in income leads to the following changes:

• A 12% increase in the quantity of horses demanded.
• A 14% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded.
• A 28% increase in the quantity of diamonds demanded.

Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table.

Good Income Elasticity of Demand Normal or Inferior Good
Horses
Spades
Aces

Which of the following three goods is most likely to be classified as a luxury good?

a. Aces
b. Spades
c. Horses

Answers

Answer:

Horses - 0.75 - normal

Clubs- 0.875 - inferior

Diamonds - 1.75 - normal

Diamond is a luxury good

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.

Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income

Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =

Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875

Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75

A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.

An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.

Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.

A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

Calculate each of the following ratios.
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
B. Average age of receivables.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory

Answers

Answer:

A. Receivable turnover ratio. = 4.57 times

B. Average age of receivables. 94.07 days

C. Inventory turnover ratio. 7 times

D. Average number of days' supply in inventory = 633 days

Explanation:

Net Sales $ 388,000

Sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000

Less Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000

Average Accounts Receivable = Accounts Rec (beg) Accounts Rec (end)/2

= 70,000+ 100,000/2= $85,000

A. Receivable turnover ratio.

Receivable turnover ratio= Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

= 388,000/ 85,000= 4.5647= 4.565= 4.57 times

A high turnover ratio is favorable because the accounts receivable are quickly collected.

B. Average age of receivables.

Average age of receivables= Accounts receivable *365/ Sales

= 100,000* 365/388,000= 365,000,00/388,000= 94.07 days

Accounts receivable will be collected in 94 days.

C. Inventory turnover ratio.

Inventory turnover ratio= Cost Of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory

= 231,000/38,000+ 28,000/2

= 231,000/33,000= 7 times

A company with a high turnover requires a smaller investment in inventory than one producing the same sales with a lower turn over.

D. Average number of days' supply in inventory

Average number of days' supply in inventory= Cost of Goods Sold/ 365

= 231,000 /365= 632.89

More Inventory will be needed in 633 days

Total revenue is defined as a. price minus quantity sold. b. price divided by quantity sold. c. price multiplied by quantity sold. d. quantity divided by price sold. e. price plus quantity sold.

Answers

Answer:

c. price multiplied by quantity sold

Explanation:

The total revenue is the amount of money that a company earns from selling products and services. As it is the quantity that a business received from its sales, it is calculated by multiplying the price of a product for the number of units sold. According to this, the answer is that the total revenue is defined as price multiplied by quantity sold.

A few years back, Dave and Jana bought a new home. They borrowed $230,415 at a fixed rate of 5.49% (15-year term) with monthly payments of $1,881.46. They just made their twenty-fifth payment and the current balance on the loan is $208,555.87.
Interest rates are at an all-time low and Dave and Jana are thinking of refinancing to a new 15-year fixed loan. Their bank has made the
following offer: 15-year term, 3.0%, plus out-of-pocket costs of $2,937. The out-of-pocket costs must be paid in full at the time of refinancing.
Build a spreadsheet model to evaluate this offer. The Excel function:
=PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type)
alculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate. The arguments of this function are as follows:
rate = the interest rate for the loan
nper = the total number of payments
pv= present value - - the amount borrowed
fv = future value - - the desired cash balance after the last payment (usually 0)
type = payment type (0 = end of period, 1 = beginning of the period)
For example, for Dave and Jana's original loan there will be 180 payments (12*15 = 180), so we would use =PMT( .0549/12, 180, 230415,0,0) = $1881.46. Note that since payments are made monthly, the annual interest rate must be expressed as a monthly rate. Also, for payment calculations, we assume that the payment is made at the end of the month.
Assume that Dave and Jana have accepted the refinance offer, and that there is no pre-payment penalty, so that anything above the beyond the required payment is applied to the principal. Construct a spreadsheet model in Excel so that you may use Goal Seek to determine the monthly payment that will allow Dave and Jana to pay off the loan in 12 years. Do the same for 10 and 11 years. Which option for prepayment if any, would you choose and why?
(Hint: Break each monthly payment up into interest and principal [the amount that gets deducted from the balance owed] Recall that the monthly interest that is charged is just the monthly loan rate multiplied by the remaining loan balance.)

New monthly payment

PMT(3%/12, 15*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,440.25

Now, we need find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11 and 12 years. So, using the above formula, we get

10-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 10*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $2,013.83

11-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 11*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,856.93

12-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 12*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,726.40

Additional Monthly Payment

10-year: $2,013.83 - $1,440.25 = $573.58

11-year: $1,856.93 - $1,440.25 = $416.68

12-year: $1,726.40 - $1,440.25 = $286.15

Refinancing means finance again(object) and, usually with a new loan with a low-interest rate.

What is the term refinancing means?

Refinance, or "refi" briefly, refers to the process of reviewing and replacing existing credit agreement terms, usually as they relate to the loan or mortgage.

Calculation of new monthly payment under refinance model:

New monthly payment:

[tex]PMT(3\%/12, 15\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,440.25[/tex]

The calculation is shown in the attached image.

Now, we need to find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11, and 12 years.

Using the above formula, we get

[tex]\rm\,10-year \;installment\; = \;PMT(3\%/12, 10\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$2,013.83\\\\11-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 11 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,856.93\\\\12-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 12 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,726.40[/tex]

Additional Monthly Payment

[tex]\rm\,10-year \$2,013.83 - \$1,440.25 = \$573.58\\\\11-year: \$1,856.93 - \$1,440.25 = \$416.68\\\\12-year: \$1,726.40 - \$1,440.25 = \$286.15[/tex]

Hence, We can go for 12-year model, as it is cost-effective for Dave and Jana.

Revising for Conciseness - Rejecting Redundancies and PurgingEmpty Words
Concise writing will save your reader time and make your message easier to understand. During phase three of the 3-x-3 writing process, revise for conciseness by rejecting redundancies and purging empty words.
Which of the following options are redundancies?
1) Adequate enough
2) Combined together
3) Big in size
4) Absolutely essential
Determine which empty words can be purged from the following sentence to make it more concise.

Answers

Answer: A. 1) Adequate enough

2) Combined together

3) Big in size

4) Absolutely essential

b. 3) “That was unfinished”

Explanation:

A. Redundancies in phrases refer to the repetition of words with the same or similar meanings which gives off the impression of saying the same things twice. All the options listed are therefore redundancies.

By saying something is Adequate which means that it is sufficient for something one does not again need to include enough because it is the same as sufficient as well.

By also saying Combined, one has already inferred that something was brought together. Including together again is redundant because the together is already in the definition of combined.

Big in size is another redundancy because when a person describes something as Big, they are already referring to the size of the thing in question. Adding in size is therefore not needed.

Finally, the Absolutely in the phrase makes the phrase redundant. When something is said to be essential it means that it is absolutely needed or crucial. To say something is Absolutely Essentially is like saying something is an Essential Essential.

B. The Johnson report had already been said to contain incomplete data. To go on to say that the data is Unfinished is a redundancy because by saying that it is incomplete it means that the data is by definition Unfinished. Removing the “That was unfinished” bit fixes the sentence.
