Calculate the annual cash flows of a $2 million, 10-year fixed-payment deferred annuity earning a guaranteed 8 percent per year if annual payments are to begin at the end of the sixth (6th) year.
Answer:
$437,946.42
Explanation:
Present Value of Deferred Annuity = $2,000,000
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,000,000*(1.08)^5
Value at the end of Year 5 = $2,938,656.15
Calculation of Annual Payment from Annuity using the TVM
Annual payment = PMT [PV, FV, N, I]
Annual payment = PMT [2,938,656.15, 0, 10, 0.08]
Annual payment = $437,946.42
So, the Annual Payment from annuity is $437,946.42.
One reason why "protecting domestic jobs" is a poor argument against free trade is because A. there is little evidence that trade protection saves domestic jobs. B. the cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs. C. labor in other countries is not priced lower than U.S. labor. D. any outsourcing of jobs from the U.S. is completely offset by outsourcing of jobs from other countries.
Answer: Cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs.
Explanation:
Protectionism is when the local industries in a country are protected against foreign competition in order to help them grow.
One of the main ideas behind free trade is for the consumers to be provided with affordable and low prices goods when there's a free movement of goods between the countries.
It should be noted that an increase in the labour cost will also.bring about an increase in the value of jobs and this can result to the goods being sold at a higher price. Therefore the correct option is B "cost of protecting jobs is much higher than the value of the jobs".

Donkey Inc. has a fleet of 10 large trucks that cost a total of $1,410,000. The fleet is expected to be driven a total of 1,000,000 miles during its estimated 10-year life and be sold for $141,000 at the end of its useful life. If the fleet was driven 125,000 miles during the current year, what is the amount of depreciation that would be calculated using the straight-line and units-of-production methods, respectively
Answer:
$126,900
$125,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) / 10 = $126900
Activity method based on activity = (miles that year / total miles expected to be driven) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
( $1,410,000 - $141,000) x ( 125,000 / 1,000,000) = 125,000
As the Consumer Price Index increases, the value of money a. falls, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want. b. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. c. rises, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want. d. rises, so people hold less money to buy the goods and services they want.
Answer:
D. falls, so people hold more money to buy the goods and services they want.
Explanation:
In the case when the consumer price index rises, so the value of the money declines as the people would hold more money in order to purchase the goods and services what actually they want
Also it shows an inverse relationship between the consumer price index and the value of money i.e. if one thing is increased the other thing would decrease and vice versa
Therefore the option d is correct

Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cozy. Labor costs will go from $1.76 to $2.26 per unit. Assume all period and variable costs as reported on Chester's Income Statement remain the same. If Chester were to pass on half the new labor costs to their customers, how many units of product Cozy would need to be sold next round to break even on the product
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The above is an incomplete question. The concluding parts are assuming the following;
Selling price per unit = $54
Current total variable cost = $24.50
Total fixed cost = $69,000
New variable cost will increase by ($2.26 - $1.76)/2 = $0.25
New variable cost will be = ($24.50 + $0.25) = $24.75
Contribution margin = ($54 - $24.75) = $29.25
New fixed cost = ($0.25 × 2,339) + $69,000 = $69,585
Note:
Old break even units = $69,000/$29.5 = 2,335 units
Therefore,
New break even units
= Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $69,585/$29.5
= 2,397 units
Cozy would have to sell 2,397 units as opposed to 2,335 units in order to break even.
Michael Corporation manufactures railroad cars, which is its only product. The standards for the railroad cars are as follows:
Standard tons of direct material (steel) per car 4
Standard cost per ton of steel $ 17.00
During the month of March, the company produced 1,650 cars.
Related production data for the month follows:
Actual materials purchased and used (tons) 6,650
Actual direct materials total cost $ 115,000
What is the direct materials quantity variance for the month?
A) $ 850 favorable
B) $ 850 unfavorable
C) $ 1,950 favorable
D) $ 1,950 unfavorable
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $850 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard tons of direct material (steel) per car 4
Standard cost per ton of steel $ 17.00
During March, the company produced 1,650 cars.
Actual materials purchased and used (tons) 6,650
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (4*1,650 - 6,650)*17
Direct material quantity variance= $850 unfavorable
Hannish Orchards, a juice manufacturer, uses a process that adds all the raw materials at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are evenly distributed. Assume there are no beginning inventories. During the period the company started making 10,000 gallons. There were 2,000 gallons left in ending WIP that were 40% of the way through the process. Costs incurred during the period were: $ 16,000 Raw materials $ 5,500 Conversion costs The cost assigned to ending work in process would be closest to: A) $3,700 B) $4,300 C) $1,720 D) $1,780
Answer:
a. $3,700
Explanation:
Unit completed = 10000 - 2000 = 8000
Equivalent unit of material = 10000
Equivalent unit of conversion = 8000 + (2000*40%)
Equivalent unit of conversion = 8800
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $16000/10000
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $1.6
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $5500/8800
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = $0.625
Cost of ending WIP = Equivalent unit of material*Unit cost+Equivalent unit of conversion*Unit cost
Cost of ending WIP = 2000*$1.6 + (2000*40%)*$0.625
Cost of ending WIP = $3200 + $500
Cost of ending WIP = $3,700

ring its first five years of operations, Della Manufacturing reports net income and pays dividends as follows. Year Net Income Dividends 1 $ 2,000 $ 1,700 2 2,600 1,600 3 2,600 2,200 4 5,900 2,900 5 8,800 3,100 Calculate the balance of retained earnings at the end of each year. Note that retained earnings will always equal $0 at the beginning of year 1.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The retained earnings will be calculated as:
= Begining retainers earnings + Net income - Dividend.
Year 1:
Retained earning = 0 + 2000 - 1700
= 300.
Year 2:
Retained earning = 300 + 2600 - 1600
= 1300
Year 3:
Retained earning = 1300 + 2600 - 2200
= 1700
Year 4:
Retained earning = 1700 + 5900 - 2900
= 4700
Year 5:
Retained earning = 4700 + 8800 - 3100
= 10400
For a given product demand, the time-series trend equation is 53 - 4 x. The negative sign on the slope of the equation:
a. is a mathematical impossibility.
b. is an indication that the forecast is biased, with forecast values lower than actual values.
c. is an indication that product demand is declining.
d. implies that the coefficient of determination will also be negative.
e. implies that the cumulative error will be negative.
Answer: is an indication that product demand is declining.
Explanation:
The negative sign on the slope of the time-series trend equation simply explains that the product demand is declining.
A negative slope indicates that two variables are negatively related which implies that when the value of x increases, rhen the value of y decreases, and vice versa. When putting this in a graph, the line falls when the line that's on the line graph shifts from left to right.
The correct option is C
The normal distribution is an appropriate model of: A. system reliability where components are connected in parallel. B. the full cost view of maintenance. C. the high initial failure rates of product, machine, or processes. D. the MTBF distribution of products, machines, or processes that have "settled in." E. system reliability where components are connected in series.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: the MTBF distribution of products, machines, or processes that have "settled in".
Explanation:
To begin with, the term of "normal distribution" refers to statistic model used in the field of probabilities and the most common characteristics are that they have a standard deviation of 1 and are all symmetrical. In the proper graphic the form of a normal distribution will be the one of a curve bell. Therefore that it is regularly seen in as an appropiate model of MTBF distribution regarding maintenance of products, machines or processes. Moreover, this distribution also known as Gaussian is motivated by the Central Limit Theorem.
2. PC Calculators sell calculators that it purchases for $15 each. It costs PC $60 each time calculators are ordered, and carrying costs are 20% of the calculator's purchase price. Annual demand is 100,000 calculators. (a) Compute the EOQ. (b) Compute the inventory costs if PC orders are at (i) the EOQ amount, (ii) 1000 calculators, (iii) 2500 calculators.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Purchase price = $15,
Ordering cost = $60
Carrying cost = 20 % × $15 = $3
(a) The EOQ (economic order quantity) goes thus:
= ✓(2 × Annual demand × ordering cost / carrying cost )
= ✓(2 × 100000 × 60 / 3)
= ✓(12000000 / 3)
= ✓(4000000)
EOQ = 2000 calculators
b. The inventory cost when PC orders are at the EOQ amount goes thus:
Note that:
Inventory cost = Cost of purchase + Ordering cost + Carrying cost
Cost of purchase = $2000 × $15 = $30000
Ordering cost = 100000 / 2000 × 60 = $3000
Carrying cost = 20% × purchase price = 20% × $30000 = $6000
Then, the total cost will be:
= $30000 + $3000 + $6000
= $39000
b. Inventory cost at 1000 calculators will be:
Purchase cost = $1000 × $15 = $15000
Ordering Cost = Annual demand / Ordering quantity × cost of placing the order
= 100000 / 1000 × 60
= $6000
Carrying cost = 20% × $15000 = $3000
Then, the total inventory cost will be:
= $15000 + $6000 + $3000
= $24000
(iii) Inventory cost at 2500 calculators will be:
Purchase cost = 2500 × purchase price = $2500 × $15
= $37500
Ordering Cost of order = 100000 / 2500 × 60
= $2400
Carrying cost = 20% × $37500 = $7500
Total inventory cost:
= $37500 + $2400 + $7500
= $47400

At the end of the first year of operations, Meacham's balance sheet showed the following account balances: Accounts Receivable, $13,400; Inventory, $9,400; and Accounts Payable, $14,650. The company's income statement reports net income of $37,400, including depreciation expense of $10,400. Using only the given information, compute Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method.
Answer:
$39,650
Explanation:
Compute Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect
Using this formula
Net cash flow from operating activities=Net income-Accounts Receivable-Inventory+Accounts Payable+depreciation expense
Let plug in the formula
Net cash flow from operating activities=$37,400 - $13,400 - $9,400 + $14,650 + $10,400
Net cash flow from operating activities= $39,650
Therefore Meacham's net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect is $39,650
A firm has just paid its annual dividend of $5.64 a share. Thereafter the dividend is expected to increase at a rate of 2% a year. If the firm's stock currently sells for $60 a share, what is the cost of equity
Answer:
11.588 %
Explanation:
The information available allows us to use the Dividend Growth Model to calculate the cost of equity as :
Cost of equity = Expected dividend ÷ Price per share + growth rate
therefore,
Cost of equity = ($5.64 x 1.02) / $60 + 2 %
= 11.588 %

Which one of the following bank accounts will you choose for a savings account? Bank A: An account that pays 8% nominal interest (APR) with daily (365-day) compounding. Bank B: An account that pays 8% nominal interest (APR) with annual compounding. Bank C: An account that pays 7% nominal interest (APR) with daily (365-day) compounding. Bank D: An account that pays 7% nominal interest (APR) with monthly compounding.
Answer:
bank a
Explanation:
to determine the appropriate bank to choose for a savings account, we have to calculate the effective annual interest rate. the bank with the highest effective annual interest rate would be chosen
Effective annual rate = (1 + APR / m ) ^m - 1
M = number of compounding
Bank A = [ 1 + (0.08/365)^365 - 1 = 8.32%
Bank B = 8%
Bank C = [ 1 + (0.07/365)^365 - 1 = 7.25%
Bank D = [ 1 + (0.07/12)^365 - 1 =7.23%
Bank A has the highest effective annual rate and would be chosen
Baker Company, an Ohio company that sells a branded product regionally to retail customers in Midwest. It normally sells its product for $40 per unit; however, it has received a one-time offer from a private-brand company on the West Coast to buy 1,000 units at $25 per unit. Even though the company has excess capacity to produce the units, the president of the company immediately rejected the offer; however, the chief accountant stated that it might be a profitable opportunity for the company, even though $25 is below its unit cost of $28, calculated as follows:
Cost
Direct material $12.00
Direct labor 8.00
Depreciation and other fixed costs 6.00
Total unit cost $26.00
Calculate the net advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order:
a. $5,000
b. ($5,000)
c. $25,000
d. ($25,000)
Answer:
Effect on income= $5,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
One-time offer:
1,000 units at $25 per unit.
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Unitary cost= 12 + 8= $20
Effect on income= 1,000*(25 - 20)
Effect on income= $5,000 increase

Answer:
a. The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. We have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = 1.65%
b-2. Profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.
Explanation:
a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure.
The costs can be classified as follows:
Prevention: Quality training
Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection
Internal Failure: Scrap and rework
External Failure: Product Warranty
b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years.
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales = ((Product inspection + Material inspection) / Sales) * 100 ………………. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = (($100,000 + $60,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.60%
Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = (($125,000 + $40,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.65%
b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2?
To calculate the profit associated to quality, only costs associated to quality are deducted from Sales as follows:
Profit associated to quality = Sales - Scrap - Rework - Product inspection - Materials inspection ……… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $10,000,000 - $400,000 - $600,000 - $100,000 - $60,000 = $8,840,000
Profit associated to quality for Year 2 = $10,000,000 - $300,000 - $400,000 - $125,000 - $40,000 = $9,135,000
Therefore, we have:
Increase in profit because of quality improvements = Profit associated to quality for Year 2 - Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $9,135,000 - $8,840,000 = $295,000
Therefore, profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.
