a. 0.39 year longer than the payback period.
b. 0.64 year longer than the payback period.
c. 0.76 years longer than the payback period.
d. 0.25 years longer than the payback period.

Answers

Answer:

c. 0.76 years longer than the payback period.

Explanation:

Payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

the amounted invested in the project = $-51100

In year 1, the amount recovered = $-51,100 + $13150 = $-37,950

In year 2, the amount recovered =  $-37,950 + $16050 = $-21,900

In year 3, the amount recovered =  $-21,900 + $23900 = $2000

the amount invested is recovered in 2 + 21,900 / 23900 = 2.92 years

Discounted payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

discounted cash flows

$13150 / 1.08 = $12,175.93

$16050 / 1.08^2 = $13,760.29

$23900 / 1.08^3 = $18972.59

$12400 / 1.08^4 = $9114.37

the amount is recovered in 3 + 6191.19 / 9114.37 = 3.68 years

the discounted payback is longer than the payback period by 3.68 years - 2.92 years = 0.76 years

"Alou Company has 20,000 beginning finished goods units. Budgeted sales units are 160,000. If management desires 15,000 ending finished goods units, what are the required units of production

Answers

Answer:

155,000

Explanation:

The computation of the required units of production is shown below:-

Required units of production = Sales units + Ending finished goods - Beginning finished goods

= 160,000 units + 15,000 units - 20,000  units

= 155,000

Therefore for computing the required units of production we simply applied the above formula.

The American car battery industry boasts that its recycling rate now exceeds 95%, the highest rate for any commodity. However, with changes brought about by specialization and globalization, parts of the recycling system are moving offshore. This is particularly true of automobile batteries, which contain lead. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is contributing to the offshore flow with newly implemented standards that make domestic battery recycling increasingly difficult and expensive. The result is a major increase in used batteries going to Mexico, where environmental standards and control are less demanding than they are in the U.S. One in five batteries is now exported to Mexico. There is seldom difficulty finding buyers because lead is expensive and in worldwide demand. While U.S. recyclers operate in sealed, mechanized plants, with smokestacks equipped with scrubbers and plant surroundings monitored for traces of lead, this is not the case in most Mexican plants. The harm from lead is legendary

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The question is incomplete. There are parts of the question missing. Indeed, there is no question posted, it is just a statement.

However, we can do research and comment on the following.

We are facing two scenarios here. Both, ethical dilemmas that need to be solved.

1) as an independent auto repair shop owner that tries to safely dispose of a few old batteries each week. (Your battery supplier is an auto parts supplier who refuses to take your old batteries.)

In this case, I would check the original agreement with the supplier to see if there is a clause on old batteries management. If not, I would ask it to help me solve this issue because I am his client and has to take care of me and the environment. Otherwise, I would have to contemplate the option of changing supplier.  

2) I am the manager of a large retailer responsible for the disposal of thousands of used batteries each day.

In this other case, I would follow the Environmental Department rules and regulations to comply with the correct procedures. This means to ask for support and orientation to get all the revisions to work properly. Because I know all the consequences of not recycling correctly or the damage done to humans and the environment. So although it could be more money, and would modernize my equipment to better manage the disposal of batteries. It would be an investment, not an expense.

Mountain High Ice Cream Company transferred $65,000 of accounts receivable to the Prudential Bank. The transfer was made with recourse. Prudential remits 90% of the factored amount to Mountain High and retains 10% to cover sales returns and allowances. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Mountain High the retained amount (which Mountain estimates has a fair value of $5,500). Mountain High anticipates a $3,500 recourse obligation. The bank charges a 3% fee (3% of $65,000), and requires that amount to be paid at the start of the factoring arrangement.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer on the books of Mountain High assuming that the sale criteria are met.

Answer:

Dr Cash 56,550

Dr Receivable from factor 5,500

Dr Loss on sale of receivables 6,450

    Cr Accounts receivables 65,000

    Cr Recourse liability 3,500

Explanation:

cash = ($65,000 x 90%) - factoring fees = $58,500 - $1,950 = $56,550

factoring fees = $65,000 x 3% = $1,950

loss on sale of receivables (includes factoring fees) = (accounts receivables + recourse liability) - (cash + receivable from factor) =  ($65,000 + $3,500) - ($56,550 + $5,500) = $68,500 - $62,050 = $6,450

Suppose you have $1,500 and plan to purchase a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compounded annually. How much will you have when the CD matures

Answers

Answer:

$ 1,781.53  

Explanation:

The future value of the 5-year CD can be determined by using the future value formula stated below:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV is the future value which is expected future amount after 5 years

PV is the initial amount used in purchasing the CD i.e $1500

r is the rate of return on the CD on an annual basis which is 3.5%

n is the number of years the investment would last which is 5 years

FV=$1500*(1+3.5%)^5

FV=$1500*1.187686306

FV=$ 1,781.53  

A bond has a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and pays a coupon of 5.5% per year, annually. The bond is callable in ten years at $1,075. If the bond’s yield to maturity is 5.89% per year, what is its yield to call? Question 13 options: A) 5.87% B) 6.57% C) 6.11% D) 6.43% E) 6.68%

Answers

Answer:

6.68% , option E is correct

Explanation:

The price of the bond can be computed using the below formula for bond price calculation:

bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

face value is $1000

r is the yield to maturity which is 5.89%

coupon=face value*coupon rate=1000*5.5%=55

n is the number of coupons the bond would pay which is 11 coupons over 20 years

bond price=1000/(1+5.89%)^20+55*(1-(1+5.89%)^-20)/5.89%

bond price=$ 954.87  

The yield on the call can be determined using excel rate function as further explained below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of coupons the bond would pay before being called in ten years' time i.e 10 coupons

pmt is the is the amount of  annual coupon=$1000*5.5%=$55

pv is the current price of $954.87  

fv is the call price which is $1,075

=rate(10,55,-954.87,1075)=6.68%

Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,150,000 in 2021 for the mining site and spent an additional $630,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)

Cash flow Probability
1 $330,000 25%

Lindon Company is the exclusive distributor for an automotive product that sells for $34.00 per unit and has a CM ratio of 30%. The company’s fixed expenses are $193,800 per year. The company plans to sell 21,600 units this year. Required: 1. What are the variable expenses per unit? (Round your "per unit" answer to 2 decimal places.) 2. What is the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? 3. What amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800 per year? 4. Assume that by using a more efficient shipper, the company is able to reduce its variable expenses by $3.40 per unit. What is the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales? What dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $91,800?

Answers

Answer:

1. $23.80

2. Break even Point (units) = 19,000 units and Break even Point (dollars) = $646,000

3. Unit sales to attain a target profit = 28,000 units and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $952,000

4. Break even Point (units) = 28,500 units, Break even Point (dollars) = $969,000 and Dollar sales to attain a target profit = $1,428,000.

Explanation:

Variable Cost % = 100% - 30%

                           = 70%

Thus, variable expenses per unit = $34.00 × 70%

                                                       = $23.80

Break even Point is the level of activity where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit

                                        = $193,800 / ($34.00 ×30%)

                                        = $193,800 / $10.20

                                        = 19,000 units

Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio

                                           = $193,800 / 0.30

                                           = $646,000

Unit sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / Contribution per unit

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / $10.20

                                                       = 28,000

Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.30

                                                       = $952,000

When variable expenses reduce by $3.40 per unit.

Break even Point (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit

                                        = $193,800 / ($34.00 - $23.80 - $3.40 )

                                        = $193,800 / $6.80

                                        = 28,500 units

Break even Point (dollars) = Fixed Cost / CM Ratio

                                           = $193,800 / ($6.80/ $34.00)

                                           = $969,000

Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / CM Ratio

                                                       = ($193,800 + $91,800) / 0.20

                                                       = $1,428,000

The capacity of the factory is determined by the capacity of its constraint, which is an automated lathe. Additional information is provided below for the most recent month: Estimates at the beginning of the month: Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Capacity of the lathe 400 hours Actual results: Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours Required: a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity. b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied. c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

Answers

Answer:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity.

$91 per lathe hour

b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied.

$34,580

c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

$1,820

Explanation:

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Capacity of the lathe 400 hours

predetermined overhead rate per lathe hour = $36,400 / 400 = $91

actual results:

Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours

applied overhead = $91 x 380 lathe hours = $34,580

cost of unused capacity = $36,400 - $34,580 = $1,820

Suppose the price level and value of the U.S. Dollar in year 1 are 1 and $1, respectively. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. If the price level rises to 1.55 in year 2, what is the new value of the dollar

Answers

Answer: $0.65

Explanation:

The Price Level and the value of a currency are inversely related because inflation erodes the value of the currency. Therefore if the price level increases, the value of the currency drops. The reverse is true.

The formula therefore is is;

New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{Price Level}[/tex]

New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{1.55}[/tex]

New Value = 0.6452

New Value = $0.65

Panner, Inc., owns 30 percent of Watkins and applies the equity method. During the current year, Panner buys inventory costing $126,000 and then sells it to Watkins for $180,000. At the end of the year, Watkins still holds only $26,400 of merchandise. What amount of gross profit must Panner defer in reporting this investment using the equity method

Answers

Answer:

The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376

Explanation:

The cost of inventory = $126000

Selling price of inventory (revenue) = $180000

The remaining inventory with Watkins = $26400

Gross profit percentage = (revenue – cost) / revenue

Gross profit percentage = (180000 – 126000) / 180000 = 0.3 or 30%

Remaining value = $26400 × 30% = 7920

Ownership = 7920 × 30% = $2376

The gross profit that will be deferred is $2376

Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory

average inventory for 2016 = ( 87,750 + 92,500 ) / 2 = $90,125

Inventory turnover $426,650 / $90,125 = 4.7 times

Days' sales in inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 77.1 days

for 2017

inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory

average inventory for 2017 = ( 97,400 + 87,750 ) / 2 = $92,575

Inventory turnover $643,825 / $92,575 = 7.0 times

He knows that 50% of similarly qualified applicants receive job offers from the accounting firm; only 40% of similarly qualified applicants receive job offers from the consulting firm Peter also knows that 60% of similarly qualified applicants receive an offer from one firm or the other. Hints: A

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume that:

X is the probability that the Peter, qualified accountant would receive offer from the accounting firm AND

Y is the probability that the Peter, qualified accountant would receive offer from the consulting firm.

Here,

P(X) is 50%, P(Y) is 40% and P(X∪Y) is 60%

Now we want to find P(X/Y) = ?

We also know that:

P(X/Y) = P(X∩Y) STEP1 /  P(Y)

By putting values, we have:

P(X/Y) = 0.3 / 0.4 = 0.75 = 75%

Step 1: Find P(X∩Y)

P(X∪Y) = P(X) + P(Y)  -   P(X∩Y)

This implies that:

P(X∩Y) = P(X)  +  P(Y)  -   P(X∪Y)

By putting values we have:

P(X∩Y) = 0.5 + 0.4   -  0.6   =  0.3

Advika is a resident of India who exports hand-dyed fabrics to other nations. Since India has an exchange control system, what does this mean for Advika

Answers

Answer: The Reserve Bank of India keeps all of Advika’s foreign currency for her.

Explanation:

When a country uses exchange controls, it limits the amount of foreign currency that can come into a country. This is usually done to ensure stability in the money market of the country as well as to improve the balance of payments for the country.

One way of implementing exchange control is for all foreign currency to go through the Central bank of the country. Should a citizen need access to foreign currency, they would need to apply to the central bank to access it. With India having an exchange control system, the Reserve Bank of India keeps all foreign currency and Advika would have to apply for it should she need it.

The standard deviation of return on investment A is 25%, while the standard deviation of return on investment B is 20%. If the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is −0.260, the covariance of returns on A and B is _________. Multiple Choice –0.2080 –0.0130 0.0130 0.2080

Answers

Answer: –0.0130

Explanation:

Correlation given the variance and the standard deviation of the two returns can be calculated by;

Correlation coefficient = Covariance of returns on investment A and B / (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B).

Rearranging the formula, Covariance becomes;

Covariance of returns on investment A and B = Correlation coefficient * (Standard deviation of return on investment A * Standard deviation of return on investment B)

Covariance of returns on investment A and B = -0.260 * 0.25 * 0.20

Covariance of returns on investment A and B  = –0.0130

Determine the factory overhead rate for Factory 1. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Factory 1

Estimated factory overhead= $18,500,000  

Estimated machine hours for year 1,250,000

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 18,500,000/1,250,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour

Maria, the landlord, refuses to fix a small leak in the roof that was there prior to the current tenant. Juan, the current tenant, has just discovered the leak after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black mold has been forming in the attic for quite some time. Juan still has significant time remaining on his lease. Juan has notified Maria in writing of the mold and leak issue but has received no response. He is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Juan’s options if Maria declines to do the repairs? Please discuss all remedies Juan may seek. Please remember to reference the contract and text to support your analysis.

Answers

Answer:

Please see answers below

Explanation:

Joan may as well put a call through to Maria in addition to his previous mail. Several remedial options are available to Juan and each has its own merits and demerits. It is proper for the tenant to consider each options carefully and seek legal opinion where necessary. However, if Maria declines to do the repairs, Juan may seek the following remedies

• Repair and deduct remedy . In this type of remedy, a tenant may deduct money that is equivalent of a month's rent to cover the cost of the repair or defect. Rental unit 156 covers a condition whether faulty or substandard rented unit could affect the tenant's health and safety. Since the landlord has refused to do the repair, she is guilty of implied warranty of habitability which includes leak in the roof, gas leak, no running water etc. Also, the tenant may not have to file a lawsuit against the landlord since this type of remedy has legal aid. Other conditions attached in addition to the above are ; the repairs cannot cost more than a month's rent, the tenant cannot use the repair and deduct remedy more that twice in any 12 month period, tenant must have informed the landlord in writing and through calls of the faulty area that requires repair. His family or pets must not be the cause of the faulty area that needed to be repaired etc.

• The abandonment remedy . Here, the tenant could move out of the faulty unit or defective rental unit due to its substandard condition which could affect his health and safety. Where the tenant uses the abandonment remedy judiciously, he is not liable to pay any other rent once he has abandoned or moved out of the defective rental unit. The conditions attached are that; the defects must be serious and directly related to the tenant's health and safety, the tenant or his family must not be the cause of the faulty space that requires repair. Moreover, the tenant must have informed the landlord whether in writing or orally telephone calls of the defects that requires repair.

• The rent withholding remedy. Legally, a tenant could withhold house rent if the landlord fails to take care of serious defects that negates the implied warranty of habitability. Conditions attached to this type of remedy are; the defects to be repaired must have threatened the tenant's safety and wellbeing. Again, the faulty or defective unit must be such that it becomes uninhabitable for the tenant . The tenant, his family or pets must not be the cause of the defects that requires repairs. The tenant must have also notified the landlord either through phone calls on in writing, amongst others.

• The tenant could also file a lawsuit against the landlord to recover the cost expended to fixing the faulty repairs where the landlord was not willing to do so. Conditions that must be met before this option could stand in the court of law are; the rental unit has serious defect that is not safe for living. A housing inspector has inspected the house and found to be short of minimum requirements for habitable place etc. A tenant may seek this type of redress where the option for out of court settlement has failed with the landlord.
