As companies started to seek scale economies and efficiency, their goal was to take advantage of ­­­­­­­____________ in functional areas? a. ABC classification b. Deep skills c. Activity Based Costing d. Common costs e. Both b & d f. All of the above

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: e. Both b & d

Explanation:

Economies and Efficiency can be achieved by managing costs better. This can be done by training employees more so that they may use deep skills gained to be able to keep costs low by being more efficient on the job.

A good place to reduce costs would be the common costs. The business can target these costs by optimising them which means to reduce costs while still maximizing output and value. Reducing the costs here would lead to better efficiency.

If the economy booms, RTF, Inc., stock is expected to return 13 percent. If the economy goes into a recessionary period, then RTF is expected to only return 5 percent. The probability of a boom is 83 percent while the probability of a recession is 17 percent. What is the variance of the returns on RTF, Inc., stock

Answers

Answer: 0.000903

Explanation:

Expected return is the sum of the probability that the other returns will happen.

= (13% * 83%) + (5% * 17%)

= 10.79 % + 0.85%

= 11.64%

Variance = ((Return during boom - Expected return)²*probability of boom) + ((Return during recession - Expected Return)²*probability of recession)

Variance = ((13% -11.64%)² * 83%) + (5% - 11.64%)² * 17%)

= 0.0001535168 + 0.0007495232

= 0.000903

michael's Inc. just paid $2.75 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 5.9 percent. If you require a rate of return of 10.1 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock?

Answers

Answer:

$69.33

Explanation:

Calculation for how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock

Using this formula

P(0)=[Annual dividend *(Increase in future dividend)]/ (Rate of return- Increase in future dividend)

Let plug in the formula

P(0)=[$2.75*(1+0.059)]/(0.101-0.059)

P(0)=$2.75*1.059/0.042

P(0)=$2.91225/0.042

P(0)=$69.33

Therefore the amount you are willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock will be $69.33

A local finance company quotes an interest rate of 19.9 percent on one-year loans. So, if you borrow $48,000, the interest for the year will be $9,552. Because you must repay a total of $57,552 in one year, the finance company requires you to pay $57,552/12, or $4,796.00 per month over the next 12 months.

Required:
a. What rate would legally have to be quoted?
b. What is the effective annual rate?

Answers

Answer:

a. What rate would legally have to be quoted?

banks are required to quote the APR, which in this case is 19.9%

b. What is the effective annual rate?

22.1%

Explanation:

Annual percentage rate (APR) = [($9,552 / $48,000) / 365] x 365 x 100 = 19.9%

In this case, you should only divide $9,552 / $48,000 and then multiply by 100 since the loan only lasts one year.

effective annual rate = (1 + 0.199/365)³⁶⁵ - 1 = 0.2201 = 22.1%

b. Make grease payments mandatory in order to obtain exclusive preferential treatment in a host nation.
c. Consider payment of speed money to be moral, but illegal.
d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.
e. Make it mandatory for companies to adhere to the pollution control standards of their home country in all the nations in which they do business.

Answers

Answer: d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.

Explanation:

In December 1997, signatories accounting for around 70% of World Trade adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions which stated that countries must install Legislative laws that would prohibit the bribing of foreign officials as well as strict penalties for parties who engage in such. This was done to ensure that the playing field was level so to speak instead of one company getting special treatment because they paid for it.

One concern however was that the Convention did not consider Facilitating Payments a criminal offence which means that it could be used as a bypass for the bribery of foreign officials to still happen.  

A company purchased $270,000 in supplies during the year. The supplies account increased by $10,000 during the year to an ending balance of $66,000. For what amount was the adjusting entry to supplies expense?

Answers

Answer:

$260,000

Explanation:

Opening balance = Ending balance - Increase in ending balance

=$66,000 - $10,000

=$56,000

Supplies Expenses = Opening balance + Purchases - Closing balance

=$56,000 + $270,000 - $66,000

=$336,000 - $66,000

=$260,000

Therefore, the amount that will be the adjusting entry to supplies expenses is $260,000

Jervis sells $3,900 of its accounts receivable to Northern Bank in order to obtain necessary cash. Northern Bank charges a 3% factoring fee. What entry should Jervis make to record the transaction

Answers

Answer:

Dr cash                           $3783

Dr factoring fee expense  $177

Cr accounts receivable               $3900

Explanation:

The cash proceeds from the factoring arrangement would be 97% of the value of the receivables since 3% is the factoring fees expenses to be incurred.

Cash proceeds=$3900*97%=$ 3,783.00  

Factoring fees expense=$3,900.00-$3,783.00=$117

Cash account and factoring fees expense would be debited with $3783 and $117 respectively, while accounts receivable is credited with $3900

Consider a team that you are familiar with - either by being a member of the team, a team leader, or a bystander. What were the team's goals?

Answers

Answer:

• To ensure that there is no income leakage whatsoever

• Ensure that there is no customer complaint made to the company's executives

• Early closure not later than 5pm daily, Monday to Friday

• Ensure customer survey ratings of at least 8.0

• Drive paperless environment.

• Daily reconciliation of the bank's transit accounts.

Explanation:

I used to belong to a team called settlement and reconciliation , which is under operations support, business banking in one of the top financial institution.

The goals are as listed above. For instance as a settlement and reconciliation team, you must ensure accurate settlement of all merchants such that none would receive excess settlement s which could deplete the bank's income. Also, there must be no customer complaint escalated to the bank's executives hence team must promptly resolve all queries and complaint.

Another goal is to drive early closure. No member of staff must remain in the office after 5pm unless permission is obtained to deal urgent transaction. Each year, the bank conducts internal survey among departments to know how well we treat our internal and external stakeholders. The least score approved for my team is 8.0 out of 10 , which must be met.

Again, one of the goals of the bank is paperless drive which was included in each team or unit's goals. We support the drive for paperless transactions by suggesting means to consummate transactions without printing. We must also ensure daily and timely reconciliation of all our transit accounts in order to ensure that no idle fund is sitting in there.

A new machine will cost $25,000. The machine is expectedto last 4 years and have no salvage value. If the interest rate is 12%, determine the return and the risk associated with the purchase. The following projections have been made.
Scenario 1 2 3
probability 0.3 0.4 0.3
annual savings $7000 $8500 $9500

Answers

Answer with its Explanation:

Requirement 1. Expected Annual Savings and Expected NPV

As we know that:

Expected Value = Probability P1 *  Expected Value E1    +   Probability P2 *  Expected Value E2    +  Probability P3 *  Expected Value E3    +  ....... Probability Pn *  Expected Value En

Here

P1 is 0.3 and E1 is $7000

P2 is 0.4 and E2 is $8500

P3 is 0.3 and E3 is $9500

By putting values, we have

Expected Annual Savings = 0.3 * $7,000   +   0.4 * $8,500    +    0.3 * $9,500 = $8,350

The above amount would be for first four years, hence it must be discounted using the annuity formula to calculate the present value of four annual receipts.

Annuity = [1 - (1 + r)^-n]  / r

By putting values, we have:

Annuity = $8,350 * [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4]  / 12%

And

Expected NPV = ($25,000) + $8,350 *  [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4]  / 12%

= $361.87

Requirement 2. Probable Return Percentage

Return Percentage = NPV / Investment =  $361.87/ $25,000

= 1.45%

Requirement 3. Associated risk

As we know that

Minimum return = Minimum annual savings – Uniform annual costs

Here

Minimum annual savings are $7,000

Uniform Annual Costs were $8,350

By putting values, we have:

Minimum return = $7,000  –  $8,350 = -$1,350 per year

Requirement 4. Risk Amount Percentage

Risk Amount percentage = Minimum Return / Uniform annual costs  * 100

Risk Amount percentage = $1,350 / 8,350   * 100 = 16.17%

Chester Corp. is downsizing the size of their workforce by 10% (to the nearest person) next year from various strategic initiatives. How much will the company pay in separation costs if each worker receives $5,000 when separated?

Answers

Answer:

$293,500

Explanation:

The computation of the amount pay in separation cost is shown below:

As there are 587 employees

but 10% are downsized

So, separation cost is

= Current employees × downsized percentage × received amount by workers

= 587 employees × 10% × $5,000

= $293,500

We simply applied the above formula so that the amount pay by the company with respect to the separation cost could arrive

Answer:

Explanation:

Overall in a scenario such as this one, a firm may continue operating and producing goods if they believe demand may go back up and result in higher returns or if they expect the tastes of consumers to change in the near future. Both of these will in term cause the market sentiment surrounding the firm's product to change and begin seeing more profitable times. Otherwise, a firm would cut their loses and stop operating and producing goods.

"A customer places an order with a registered representative to sell 5,000,000 shares of ABC stock (NYSE listed) "at the market." The registered representative should:"

Answers

Answer:

Contact the firm's large block trading desk.

Explanation:

The reason why the registered representative would contact the firm's large block trading desk is because the order is larger than what can be handled normally on the Newyork Stock Exchange (NYSE) floor. Where large order as in the above is to be sold on the stock exchange floor, such would normally be presented to the firm's large block trading desk who will now decide on how best to handle the order; hence not the duty of registered representative.

Based on past experience, the trade desk would likely hand over the order to one of ABC's stock brokers for execution because for example, Super Display Book - NYSE automated system, which is responsible for dealing NYSE listed issues, has certain limited orders they can take.

Number of periods would become = 8 * 2 = 16 periods

Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]

Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.06^{16} }[/tex]

Present Value = $10,510.36

He would need to invest $10,510.36 today.

Which of the following statements is false about Activity-based management?
A. While useful, activity-based management and Activity-Based Costing information is not always cost efficient to obtain
B. The information needed for activity-based management is a direct byproduct of Activity-Based Costing
C. Activity-based management is an activity that is similar to Activity-Based Costing but requires a very different set of information
D. Activity-based management is designed to help management know which activities add the most value to goods and services

Answers

Answer:

C. Activity-based management is an activity that is similar to Activity-Based Costing but requires a very different set of information

Explanation:

Activity based management is the process by which a business identifies activities that contributes more to profitability of the business. These activities are retained.

While activities whose cost does not justify the profit they generate are discarded.

Activity based costing is used to allocate cost of a product based on level of activity of a particular process.

Activity based management uses information from activity based costing to identify processes that contribute more to profitability.

So the statement - Activity-based management is an activity that is similar to Activity-Based Costing but requires a very different set of information. - Is false

Activity-based management (ABM) is a way of identifying and assessing activities that a firm conducts, as well as doing a value chain analysis or a re-engineering exercise to enhance strategic and operational decisions in an organization, utilizing activity-based costing.

So, option C is correct as this is the only false statement about activity based management.

The other options are incorrect as:

Option A is incorrect as yes activity-based management and activity-based costing are not always cost-efficient.

Option B is incorrect as yes activity-based management and activity-based costing have many similarities but they need different information.

Option D is incorrect as yes activity-based management analysis every good and services provided by company and help organization know which of them add more value to organization.

Thus every statement is correct only statement C is untrue.

The Book of Mormon is one of the biggest musical hits on Broadway. It has received many awards including Tony and Grammy Awards. According to Wikipedia, "High attendance coupled with aggressive pricing allowed the financial backers to recoup their investment of $11.4 million after just nine months of performances." While the highest ticket price was $477, the average price is $170. What is the variable cost per ticket

Answers

Answer:

variable cost per ticket = $129.60

Explanation:

some information is missing and I looked it up:

30 performances per month

1,100 seats in the theater and 95% occupancy rate

number of tickets sold during the first 9 months = 30 x 9 x 1,100 x 0.95 = 282,150 tickets

total revenue during the first 9 months = 282,150 x $170 = $47,965,500

variable costs = total revenue - fixed costs = $47,965,500 - $11,400,000 = $36,565,500

variable cost per ticket = $36,565,500 / 282,150 tickets = $129.5959 ≈ $129.60

Patty Corporation holds 75 percent of Slider Corporation's voting common stock, acquired at book value. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the date of acquisition was equal to 25 percent of the book value of Slider Corporation. On December 31, 20X8, Slider Corporation acquired 25 percent of Janet Corporation's stock. Slider records dividends received from Janet as nonoperating income. In 20X9, Janet reported operating income of $100,000 and paid dividends of $40,000. During the same year, Slider reported operating income of $75,000 and paid $20,000 in dividends.
1) Based on the information provided, what amount will be reported as consolidated net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method?
a. $150,000
b. $100,000
c. $75,000
d. $175,000
2) Based on the information provided, what amount will be reported as income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 under the treasury stock method?
a. $18,750
b. $156,250
c. $175,000
d. $100,000

Answers

Answer:

1) d. $175,000

2) b. $156,250

Explanation:

1. The computation of net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method is shown below:-

Net income for 20X9 under the treasury stock method = Janet Operating income + Slider operating income

= $100,000 + $75,000

= $175,000

2. The computation of income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 is shown below:-

income assigned to the controlling interest for 20X9 = Janet Operating income + (Slider operating income × Remaining percentage)

= $100,000 + ($75,000 × 75%)

= $100,000 + $56,250

= $156,250

Therefore we have applied the above formulas.
