Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Benchmarking is the process of comparing a firm's ratio to a meaningful standard. the standard could be industry average, comparable firms ratios or the standardized ratio

Benchmarking can be used to know the performance of a company when compared to other firms

it can also be used to determine if a stock's value is overvalued or undervalued.

For example, if the price of a stock when calculated with CAPM is $14 and the stock is selling for $20. We can determine that the stock is overvalued. this can help the firm or investors determine the appropriate action

for example, an investor can decide to sell the overvalued stock

When the stock was bought back from the public, the market price was $2
Required:
1. Determine the authorized shares.
2. Determine the issued shares.
3. Determine the outstanding shares.

Answers

Answer:

The authorized shares 213,000

The issued shares 141,000

The outstanding shares 125,000

Explanation:

The authorized shares are the maximum number of shares that can be issued by the company as spelt out in its charter which is 213,000.

The number of shares issued to the public from its inception till date is 141,000 shares, in other words, that is its issued shares.

The outstanding shares is the number of shares currently held by investors in the company's shares, in essence, outstanding shares are the issued shares minus the shares already bought back( repurchased from shareholders)

Outstanding shares=141,000-16,000.

Outstanding shares=125,000

If the insurance company cannot determine who is healthy and who is sick prior to the purchase of insurance, the annual premium must be at least $____________.

a. 3,900
b. 9,000
c. 2,000
d. 4,750

Answers

Answer:

a. 3,900

Explanation:

We find the probability of healthy persons & the weak out of the total population in the town.

Probability of healthy persons

P(h) = 600/1000

P(h) = 0.6

Probability of weak persons

P(w) = 400/1000

P(w) = 0.4

We find the pay off for both the healthy and the weak, then add up to get the expected value or the minimal annual premium

Expected Value = 0.6*$500 + 0.4*$9000

Expected Value = $300 + $9000

Expected Value = $3,900

So, the annual premium must be at least $3,900.

For point c:

[tex]\text{Efficiency ratio of production} = \frac{\text{time added value}}{\text{total cycle time}} \\\\[/tex]

[tex]\text{VAT = 5 days assembled + 3 days in paint = 8 days in painting}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8}{18} \\\\ = 44.44\%[/tex]

For point d:

In inspection, TQM will cut back 4 days

JIT reduces storage time by 3 days.

Reduction total = 7 days

Retrofiled The total time of the cycle[tex]= 18 \ days - 7 \ days = 11\ days[/tex]

Revised efficiency of production [tex]=\frac{8 \ days}{ 11\ days} =72.73\%[/tex]

The value added activities are assembly and paintings, the total chart's time is 18 days, the manufacturing ratio is 44.44% and the revised value of efficiency is 72.73%.

For point A:

What are value added activities?

Value Added Activities are those activities that modify the product from raw material into finished goods that the customer is willing to pay for.

Hence, the value added activities are assembly and paintings.

For point B:

The chart of the total cycle time is given in the image below:

[tex]\text{Production Efficiency Ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Time Value Added}}{\text{Sum of Time Cycle}}\\\\\text{Value Added Time(VAT)}= \text{Assembled 5 Days}+\text{Days in Paint}\\\\=8\text{Days}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{18}= 44.44\%.[/tex]

For option D:

Time Quantity Management = 4 days,

Just-in-time Inventory Shortage Time= 3 days,

Reduction Total = 7 days,

[tex]\text{Total Time of cycle}=\text{18 days - 7 days}\\\\=11\text{days}[/tex]

a. 1 apple and 2 oranges.
b. 3 apples and 1 orange.
c. 5 apples and no oranges.
d. none of the above

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is d. none of the above.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of the ratios of the marginal utility to price of each of Apples and Oranges assuming that the price of oranges increases to $2, while the price of apples remains at $1.

For two goods, utility is maximized at a point where the ratios of the marginal utility to price of the two commodities are equal. That is, for this question, Linda will maximize her utility when we have:

Marginal Utility of Apples / Price of Apples = Marginal Utility of Oranges / Price of Oranges ............... (1)

From the attached excel file, it can be observed that equation (1) does NOT hold anywhere. Therefore, the correct option is d. none of the above.

To determine which option is incorrect, we are going to calculate the annual depreciation, book value, and accumulated depreciation:

Annual depreciation= (Total purchase price - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation=  (41,900 - 5,300) / 6

Annual depreciation= $6,100

Accumulated depreciation (2021)= 6,100*3= $18,300

Book value (2019)= 41,900 - 6,100= $35,800

Book value (2020)= 35,800 - 6,100= $29,700

A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $480,000. The projected after-tax net income is $80,000 per year after deducting $160,000 of annual depreciation expense. The equipment has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. What is the payback period for the new equipment?
a. 2 years.
b. 3 years.
c. 4 years.
d. 5 years.
e. 6 years.

Answers

Answer:

a. 2 years.

Explanation:

Annual cash flow = After-tax net income + Depreciation

Annual cash flow = $80,000 + $160,000

Annual cash flow = $240,000

Payback Period = Cost of Project / Annual cash Flow

Payback Period = $480,000 / $240,000

Payback Period = 2 years

So, the payback period for the new equipment is 2 years.

Sabrina, Kris, and Kelly are the only three residents of the small town of Charleston. They are considering whether to hire a police officer to patrol the town. Sabrina values the police officer at $610 per week, Kris values the police officer at $230 per week, and Kelly values the police officer at $150 per week. The competitive wage for a police officer is $900 per week.

a. If the protection provided by the police officer to one resident does not diminish the protection provided to the other residents, then the police officer is ____________

1. a commons
2. an excludable
3. a rival
4. a nonrival
5. a nonexcludable good.

b. Suppose Sabrina proposes a tax whereby all three residents split the cost of the police officer equally.

1. Will the majority of them support this tax?
2. No, they will not support the tax.
3. Yes, they will support the tax.
4. Is this outcome socially efficient?
5. This outcome is not socially efficent.
6. This outcome is socially efficient.

Answers

Answer:

        a. 4. a nonrival

        b. 1. a. No, they will not support the tax.

            2. b. This outcome is socially efficient.

Explanation:

When the services provided by a good to one person does not diminish the good's ability to provide those same services for another, the good is said to be non-rival in nature.

If an equal tax is proposed, not everyone would be in support of it because some would be paying more than they value the policeman. An equal tax would be:

= 900 salary / 3 = $300

This is more than the value that both Kris($230) and Kelly ($150) value the police officer at.

This outcome however, is socially efficient because when costs are split evenly, a socially optimal and efficient outcome often results.

a.) Suppose that South Pangean debt is $100 million and the interest rate it pays on that debt is 4 percent. That means its interest payments must be $ million.
b.) If South Pangean expenditures are $30 million without interest payments, that means its expenditures with interest payments are $ million.

Answers

Answer:

a

$4 million

b.

expenditures with interest payments

Explanation:

a.

The interest payment is the value of debt taken multiplied by the interest rate on the debt.

In other words, the interest payment is computed using the below formula:

annual interest payment=value of debt*interest rate

value of debt=$100 million

interest rate=4%

annual interest payment=$100 million*4%

annual interest payment=$4 million

b.

The expenditures with interest payments are is the expenditures without interest payments plus interest payments determined as $4million above

expenditures with interest payments=expenditures without interest payments+interest payments

expenditures without interest payments=$30 million

interest payments=$4 million

expenditures with interest payments=$30million+$4million

expenditures with interest payments=$34million

The interest amount for the $ 100 million at 4% interest rate has been $4 million. The expenditure of South Pangean with interest has been $34 million.

(a) Interest has been the amount paid to the sum principal amount based on the interest rate.

Annual interest can be calculated as:

Interest = Interest rate [tex]\times[/tex] Principal sum

Interest = 4% [tex]\times[/tex] $100 Million

Interest = [tex]\rm \dfrac{4}{100}[/tex]  [tex]\times[/tex] $100 Million

Interest = $ 4 Million.

(b) The expenditures with interest have been the sum of expenditure and the interest amount.

Expenditure with interest = Expenditure + Interest

Expenditure with interest = $ 30 + $ 4 million

Expenditure with interest = $ 34 million.

The following are Hibiscus Company's cost of making and selling an item:

Description Amount per unit
Direct materials $9
Direct labor $4
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $5
Variable selling and administrative $2
Fixed selling and administrative $8

A one-time only special order has been received for 600 units. The company has capacity to accept the oder and it would not affect regular sales. The sales price for the special order is 26 per unit. Total fixed costs would not be affected by this order. The variable selling and administrative costs would have to be incurred for this special order. The order would require an additional $3 per unit for specialized materials and a new machine that costs $2,000. What is the financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the special order?

Answers

Answer:

$2,800 financial advantage

Explanation:

We consider incremental costs and revenues in our analysis for the effects of accepting the special order.

Analysis of effects of accepting the special order :

Sales - Incremental (600 units x $26)                                        $15,600

Less Incremental Costs :

Direct materials ($9 x 600 units)                                                ($5,400)

Direct labor ($4 x 600 units)                                                       ($2,400)

Variable manufacturing overhead ($2 x 600 units)                   ($1,200)

Specialized materials ($3 x 600 units)                                        ($1,800)

Machine Cost                                                                               ($2,000)

Financial Advantage / (Disadvantage)                                         $2,800

therefore,

the financial advantage of accepting the special order is $2,800

Money is neutral in:___________
A. the short run, since it cannot alter the real aggregate output or price level in the short run.
B. both the short and long run, since it cannot alter price levels or aggregate output in the long and short run.
C. the long run, since it only affects the price level, but not aggregate output or interest rates.
D. the short run, since it cannot alter the price levels or interest rate in the short run.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Money neutrality is a theory which submits that money supply only affect nominal variable and not real variables.

Nominal variables include price, wages and exchange rate

real variables include employment and real GDP

Money is only neutral in the long run and not in the short run because of money illusion. Money illusion causes economic agents to respond to money supply changes.

Money is neutral only in the long run
