Answer:
1. 44.44%
2. $258,000
Explanation:
Contribution Margin refers to what is left of sales income after the Variable Costs have been removed.
= Sales price - Variable cost
= 18 - 10
= $8
Contribution Margin Ratio = (Contribution Margin / Sales price) * 100%
= 44.44%
2. Income from Operations
= (Sales Quantity * Contribution Margin) - Fixed Costs
= (40,000 * 8) - 62,000
= 320,000 - 62,000
= $258,000
Jiminy’s Cricket Farm issued a 30-year, 6 percent semiannual bond three years ago. The bond currently sells for 93 percent of its face value. The company’s tax rate is 22 percent. a. What is the pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. What is the pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
6.46%b. What is the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
5.04%Explanation:
we must first determine the bond's yield to maturity:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2] = {30 + [(1,000 - 930)/60]} / [(1,000 + 930)/2] = 31.17 / 965 = 3.23% x 2 = 6.46%
after tax cost of debt = 6.46% x (1 - tax rate) = 6.46% x (1 - 22%) = 6.46% x 78% = 5.04%

If Piper Manufacturing manufactures one unique set of stack pipes, and the sell price is $121,000, the variable costs per unit are $62,000, and the fixed costs are $500,000, what is the break-even point in units
Answer:
8.47
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the break-even point in units is:
Break-even point in units=Fixed costs/(Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)
Fixed costs= $500.000
Selling price per unit= $121,000
Variable cost per unit= $62,000
Break-even point in units=$500,000/($121,000-$62,000)
Break-even point in units=$500,000/59,000
Break-even point in units=8.47
According to this, the break-even point in units is 8.47.
A June sales forecast projects that 5,000 units are going to be sold at a price of $11.00 per unit. The desired ending inventory of units is 15% higher than the beginning inventory of 600 units. Merchandise purchases for June are projected to include how many units
Answer:
Purchases= 5,090 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A June sales forecast projects that 5,000 units are going to be sold.
The desired ending inventory of units is 15% higher than the beginning inventory of 600 units.
To calculate the merchandise purchase, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 5,000 + 600*1.15 - 600
Purchases= 5,090 units
When generating a globalized marketing plan, a Japanese company called Trusco decided to implement a localization strategy when introducing its work and tool products into the Swiss and Canadian markets.

There are several barriers that can spell failure if the international company's strategy is poorly planned.
Therefore, the ideal is to research in depth about the new market to which the organization intends to enter.
In addition to legally adapting to local legislation, the company must analyze and plan to generate local interest in its products and services.
This requires market research that seeks to identify your target audience, what are their particularities, preferences, characteristics and needs.
The set of variables in the marketing mix: price, product, place and promotion, should also be adapted to the location where the company is located, the key to success is adaptation and the strategy aligned with the location.
The Apple stock’s price is $112.92 on 8/1/15 and becomes $110.30 on 9/1/15. In August, Apple gives a dividend of $0.52 per share. What is the holding period monthly return for Apple in August?
Answer:
The holding period monthly return for Apple in August is -2.00%.
Explanation:
Holding period return (HPR) refers to total return that is received by an investor when he holds an asset or portfolio of assets over a period of time.
The holding period return is generally expressed as a percentage can be estimated using the following formula:
HPR = [Income + (P1 - Po)] / Po ....................... (1)
Where;
Income = Dividend = $0.52
P1 = End-of-period value = $110.30
Po = Initial value = $112.92
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
HPR = [$0.52 + ($110.30 - $112.92)] / $112.92
HPR = [$0.52 - $2.62] / $112.92
HPR = -$2.10 / $112.92
HPR = -0.02, or -2.00%
Therefore, the holding period monthly return for Apple in August is -2.00%.
A company had the following cash flows for the year: (a) Purchased inventory, $60,000 (b) Sold goods to customers, $90,000 (c) Received loan from a local bank, $150,000 (d) Purchased land, $180,000 (e) Purchased treasury stock, $40,000 (f) Paid dividends, $10,000 (g) Sold delivery truck, $30,000 What amount would be reported for net investing cash flows on the Statement of Cash Flows
Answer:
($150000)
Explanation:
The computation of the net investing cash flows is shown below;
Purchase of land ($180,000)
Sale of delivery truck $30,000
Net Cash used in Investing activities ($150000)
The purchase of land is an outflow of cash and the sale of delivery truck is a inflow of cash so it would be shown in a negative and positive amount
Thus all other values would be ignored

"How much would an investor expect to pay for a $1,000 par value bond with a 9% annual coupon that matures in 5 years if the interest rate is 5%
Answer:
The answer is $1,173.18
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 5 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 5percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $90 ( 9percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 5; I/Y = 5; PMT = 90; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -1,173.18
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $1,173.18
Learning by doing suggests that: Multiple Choice greater experience increases production costs. greater experience increases efficiency. diminishing marginal productivity occurs more rapidly.
Answer:
greater experience increases efficiency.
Explanation:
In Business management, Learning by doing suggests that greater experience increases efficiency.
Learning by doing can be defined as the process which involves different individuals making use or an application of their experiences, especially the experiences they acquired by actively engaging in the production, tasks or projects.
Additionally, when significant externalities are actively associated with learning by doing, the level or quantity and quality of production will become sufficiently great and result in an increased returns to scale as more sales and profit would be made by the organization.
It is a good concept and strategy which helps organizations to break even and to meet their goals, aim and objectives.

Answer:
d. 2.83
Explanation:
Note: The financial statement in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the full question with the sorted financial statement.
The explanation to the answer is now as follows:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that is used in measuring whether a company has adequate resources to meet its short-term obligations or pay its liabilities from its current assets.
The current ratio provides a comparison current assets to current liabilities of a company and it can be calculated using the following formula:
Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities ................. (1)
From the 2017 balance sheet of Burnaby Mountain Trading Company, we have:
Total current assets = $1,700,000
Total current liabilities = $600,000
Substituting the values for Total current assets and Total current liabilities into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = $1,700,000 / $600,000 = 2.83
Therefore, The firm's current ratio for 2017 is 2.83. That is, the correct option is option d. 2.83.
This indicates that the firm has more than enough current assets to pay off 2.83 or 283% of its current liabilities.
Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $10,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year). a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires? Use Exhibit 1-A. (Round FV factor to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
the future value of Ruby's IRA = $10,000 x 21.725 (FV factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $217,250
b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal?
she needs to accumulate $875,000 - $217,250 = $657,750 during the next 40 years
the annual contribution = FV / FV annuity factor = $657,750 / 259.057 (FV annuity factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $2,539.02 per year
Summary: With 250,000 employees in 19 countries, Aramark wanted to motivate its employees who clean airplanes for Delta and Southwest Airlines. Turnover of the low-paid, largely immigrant staff was high while morale was low. Wallets and other valuables left on planes disappeared. After 5 years of efforts to increase motivation, revenue rose from $5 million to $14 million. 1. What motivation theories apply to the workers at Aramark? 2. If you were the manager of these employees, what would you do to motivate them? Be honest regarding your personal management style and beliefs rather than trying to be like Roy Pelaez. 3. What are some possible barriers to the effectiveness of your motivation ideas? What could you do to overcome them?
Answer:
Explanation:
(A)
What motivation theory applies to the workers at Aramark?
The workers should be motivated with payments for the return of valuables forgotten in the aircraft.
(B)
To motivate them, offer them a salary increase
(C)
Some possible barriers to the effectiveness of these motivation ideas are gluttony (depending on individual worker), a period of stiff or falling profit (which will hinder the smooth running of the new benefit policies), change of management.
(D)
What could you do, to overcome them?
To ensure that workers do not still steal forgotten valuables, place a check or supervision on them.
To ensure the profit level is maintained or increased, make sure the workers do not relent in their duties. Sometimes, more benefits make workers relax more.

Find an example of a company's aggregate planning strategy. You can use the strategy from the firm where you currently work or where you have worked in the past; you can conduct an Internet search or use the Hunt Library resources.
Explanation:
An aggregate planning strategy can be defined as the implementation of new strategic action plans used in a company whose objective is to balance supply and demand through the implementation of material resources, sales, promotions, products, etc.
This planning occurs in the short term, and is usually carried out when a company has the capacity to meet a certain market offer, such as consumer demand for an innovative product.
Aggregated planning is a good strategy when the company considers maximizing its profits, so in order to achieve the expected result, market demand must be thoroughly analyzed, the company's operational capacity, risks, budget and other essential variables.
A soft drink factory for example can carry out a promotional campaign in the style buy 1 light 2 to increase its demand, therefore you must be aware that your productive force will be able to meet the demand, in addition to analyzing the strategic results in order to ascertain the effectiveness planning.

Explanation:
Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,100 each. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers and you need to decide which to use. The following data have been collected:
Requirements (annual forecast) 13,200 units
Weight per engine 25 pounds
Order processing cost $230 per order
Inventory carry cost 20 percent of the average value of inventory per year
Note: Assume that half of lot size is in inventory on average (1,100/2 = 550 units).
Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations:
ORDER QUANTITY SUPPLIER 1 SUPPLIER 2
UNIT PRICE UNIT PRICE
1 to 1,499 units/order $ 553 $ 552
1,500 to 2,999 units/order 551 552
3,000 + units/order 543 542
Tooling costs $ 28,300 $ 24,400
Distance 120 miles 100 miles
Your assistant has obtained the following freight rates from your carrier:
Truckload (42,000 lbs. each load): $0.80 per ton-mile
Less-than-truckload: $1.20 per ton-mile
Note: Per ton-mile = 2,000 lbs. per mile.
a-1.Calculate the total cost for each supplier. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
a-2. Which supplier would you select?
b. If you could move the lot size up to ship in truckload quantities, calculate the total cost for each supplier.
Answer:
A)
Sup 1 $7,415,250
Sup 2 $7,394,080
I will pick supplier 2 as their total cost is lower.
With the assumption of point b:
Supplier 1 $ 7,412,612
Supplier 2 $ 7,419,296
Explanation:
We must use the values for 1 to 1,499 units as we are constrained to a maximum of 1,100 lot size.
Weight of the lot:
1,100 x 25 pounds = 27,500 we do not achieve truckload
So we use the 1.20 per ton-mile
27,500 / 2,000 = 13.75 tons
13.75 tons x $1.20 each x 100 miles x 12 per year = $23,760
13.75 tons x $1.20 each x 120 miles x 12 per year = $19,800
Order cost $230 x 12 per year = $ 2,760

Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $2.75000 dividend at that time (D₃ = $2.75000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 14.30000% for the following two years (D₄ and D₅). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin’s dividend to grow at a constant rate of 3.72000% per year.
Goodwin’s required return is 12.40000%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin’s horizon value at the horizon date (when constant growth begins) and the current intrinsic value.
To increase the accuracy of your calculations, do not round your intermediate calculations, but round all final answers to two decimal places.
Term Value
Horizon value $42.93
Current intrinsic value $29.84
1. If investors expect a total return of 13.40%, what will be Goodwin's expected dividend and capital gains yield in two years-that is, the year before the firm begins paying dividends?
2. Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?
A. Yes
B. NO
Answer:
horizon value at year 5 = Div₆ / (Re - g)
Div₆ = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483Re = 12.4%g = 3.72%horizon value at year 5 = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93
current value P₀ = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84
1) dividend yield = 0/$29.84 = 0%
capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀
P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70
capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%
2) Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income). Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?
A. Yes
Since dividends must be paid out from net profits or retained earnings.
1. Dividend yield is = 26.34%
2. Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income) Yes it is a correct statement.
Calculate Dividend Growth Rate
The horizon value at year 5 is = Div₆ / (Re - g)
Then, Div₆ is = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483
After that, Re = 12.4%
Then, g = 3.72%
Now, When The horizon value at year 5 is = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93
The current value P₀ is = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ is = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84
1) dividend yield is = 0/$29.84 = 0%
After that, capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀
Hence, P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70
Therefore, capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%

The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $50.15 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 3.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.80 in one year. What is the total return on this stock?
Answer:
11.2%
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the total return on the stock.
From the question, Price = $50.15
Mathematically;
P = D1/Ke-g
D1 = $3.80
g = 3.60%
So let’s calculate Ke-g
50.15 = 3.8/ke-g
Ke-g = 3.8/50.15
Ke-g = 7.6%
but g = 3.6%
Total return Ke = 3.6% + g = 3.6% + 7.6% = 11.2%

To employees at a call center
I’m hoping you can send out a memo for me to all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we’ve had some problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them, at all sorts of time during their shift. While we are happy to be flexible, we do have a job to do and must have a certain amount of operators manning the phones at all times. Several times the phones have rung and rung with not enough people to answer them. Several supervisors have complained to me that their people have argued with them about combining their breaks and meal break to get an hour at one time. I feel like I need to put my foot down so that each supervisor doesn’t have to make their own decision. We need to remind folks of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day. Remind telephone operators that they should take the two 15 minute breaks allotted to them generally about halfway through a four-hour work period. If they want or need to take a break during another time, they should talk with their supervisor. But let folks know this should be under extraordinary circumstances. Stress that these should be extraordinary circumstances so we can count on enough people to be on the phones through the day. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, but they should be coordinated with their supervisor. Several times, we’ve lost folks we were counting on, only to find that they were on break. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources. We’d prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. I often eat at my desk but of course I’m not salaried employee. Oh, and we don’t want folks saving up their breaks and leaving work early. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks? Yes, they do -- federal law mandates it. So tell them they just can’t skip the breaks, though why they’d want to I don’t know. By the way, it looks like we’ll be hiring in the new fiscal year, as we go ahead with that expansion into the Southeast. Should be about 20 to 25 new phone operators.
Answer:
TO EMPLOYEES AT A CALL CENTER
It is my aim to send out a memo to you all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we have faced series of problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them without express permission which ended up clashing with their shift time for work. While we are happy to be flexible, we need to remind you of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day.
Most times,when a call came in, there will be no one to attend to it. Several supervisors have tabled the complaints of their team members, about combining their normal breaks and meal break in-order to get an hour at one time. Despite being a noble suggestion, the employees and their supervisor should remember that, the working condition was explicitly stated in the contract agreement they signed before taking this job.
In a situation were there is extraordinary condition, the call operators should liaised with their supervisor and discuss about the need to take extra break time. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, which should be under strict coordination by their supervisor. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources.
We would prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks? Yes, they do -- federal law mandates it. By the way, it looks like we will be hiring in the new fiscal year, as we go ahead with that expansion into the Southeast.

Explanation:
A job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.2 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 95%, and workday allowances are 10 percent. Determine each of the following:
a. Observed time.
b. Normal time.
c. Standard time.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Observation time is
= Average time
= 1.2 minutes
b) The Normal time is
= Observation time × performance rating
= 1.2 minutes × 0.95
= 1.14 minutes
3. The standard time is
= normal time × Allowance factor
where,
Normal time is 1.14 minutes
And, the Allowance factor is
= 1 ÷ (1- A)
= 1 ÷ (1- 0.1)
= 1.11
So, the standard time is
= 1.14 × 1.11
= 1.265 minutes.
Suppose Emilio offers you $500 today or $X in 10 years. If the interest rate is 6 percent, then at what value of X would you be indifferent between the two options
This question is impossible and implausible
Who is Emilio? How do we know he'll be around in 10 years? IS he good for the money, or is it counterfeit? Are we adjusting for inflation? The dollar is worth more in Malaysia than the U.S., so where are we starting and where are we ending? There's just not enough data here.

Use the high-low method to determine
Flower Paradise's cost equation for van operating costs. Use your results to predict van operating costs at a volume of 15,000 miles.
Let's begin by determining the formula that is used to calculate the variable cost (slope).
Change in cost / Change in volume = Variable cost (slope)
Now determine the formula that is used to calculate the fixed cost component.
Total operating cost - Total variable cost = Fixed cost
Use the high-low method to determine
Flower Paradise's operating cost equation. (Round the variable cost to the nearest cent and the fixed cost to the nearest whole dollar.)

Use the high-low method to determine Flower Paradise's cost equation for van operating costs.
y = $ 0.20x + $1,800
Use your results to predict van operating costs at a volume of 15,000 miles.
y = ($0.20 x 15,000) + $1,800 = $4,800
Explanation:
Month Miles Driven Van Operating Costs
January 15,500 $5,390
February 17,400 $5,280
March 15,400 $4,960
April 16,300 $5,340
May 16,500 $5,450
June 15,200 $5,230
July 14,400 $4,680
In order to calculate the fixed and variable costs using the high-low method, we must take the month with the highest activity (February) and the month with the lowest activity (July):
variable costs = ($5,280 - $4,680) / (17,400 - 14,400) = $600 / 3,000 = $0.20 per mile driven
fixed costs = $4,680 - (14,400 x $0.20) = $4,680 - $2,880 = $1,800
The Closed Fund is a closed-end investment company with a portfolio currently worth $200 million. It has liabilities of $3 million and 5 million shares outstanding. a. What is the NAV of the fund?
Answer:
$39.40
Explanation:
According to the situation, the solution is as follows
The Net asset value of the fund is
= (Current worth of portfolio - liabilities) ÷ (outstanding shares)
= ($200 million - $3 million) ÷ (5 million shares)
= $39.40
Basically we applied the above formula in order to determine the net asset value of the fund.
you texpect to receive a payout from a trust fund in 3 years. The payout will be for $11000. You plan to invest the money at an annual rate of 6.5 percent until the account is worth $19000. how many years do you have to wait from today?
Answer:
11.68 years
Explanation:
For computing the number of years first we have to applied the NPER formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $11,000
Future value = $19,000
Rate of interest = 6.5%
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the number of years is 8.68
Now after 3 years, it would be
= 8.68 + 3
= 11.68 years
