King enterprises has an Total Asset Turnover ratio of 5.0, Profit margin of 3%, and a ROE equals to 18%. What is the firm's equity mulitplier (Total Asset/Equity)? Use DuPont Analysis.
Answer: 1.2
Explanation:
The DuPont Analysis is a method of calculating the Return on Equity by using various other ratios. It shows the relatiosnhips between variables in a firm and can help the firm know which areas to target to improve ROE.
Using the DuPont Analysis, the Return on Equity is;
ROE = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier
18% = 3% * 5 * Equity Multiplier
18% = 0.15 * Equity Multiplier
Equity Multiplier = 18%/0.15
Equity Multiplier = 1.2

a
a. Shift to the right, shift to the left
b. shift to the left, shift to the right
c. shift to the left, shift to the left
d. shift to the right, shift to the right
as a result of the medical study, the demand for bikes would increase. this would shift the demand curve outwards or to the right.
the fall in price of parts needed to make bikes would reduce the cost of making bikes. this would lead to an increase in the supply of bikes. the supply curve would shift outward as a result.
A machine costs $600000 and is expected to yield an after tax net income of $23000 each year. Managment predicts this machine has a 10 year service life and a $120000 salvage value, and it uses straight line depreciation. Compute this machine's accounting rate of return
Answer:
6.39%
Explanation:
The cost of the machine is $600,000
The net income is $23,000
The management predict a that it has a 10 years service life
The salvage value is $120,000
The first step is to calculate the average investment
Average investment= (Cost of machine+Salvage value)/2
= $600,000+$120,000/2
= $720,000/2
= $360,000
Therefore, the accounting rate of return can be calculated as follows
= Annual net income/Average investment
= $23,000/$360,000
= 0.0639×100
= 6.39%
Hence the accounting rate of return is 6.39%
Indicate whether the following changes would cause a shift in the demand curve for Product A and, if so, the direction of the shift.
Change Demand curve shift? Direction of shift?
Increase in price of complementary product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Increase in the price of the Product A Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Launch of effective advertising campaign for Product Yes or No Increase, decrease or N/A
Answer:
yes decrease
No N/A
Yes, Increase
Explanation:
A complementary good is a good that is consumed together. If the price of the complementary good increases, the quantity demanded of the good would decrease. this would lead to a decrease in demand for product A.
an increase in the price of product A, would increase the quantity demanded. an increase in quantity demanded leads to a movement along the demand curve and not a shift of the demand curve
An effective advertising campaign would increase the visibility of the product and increase the demand for the product. an increase in demand leads to an outward shift of the demand curve.

BPR is part of the larger discipline of ________, which consists of methods, tools, and technology to support and continuously improve business processes.
Answer:
Business process management.
Explanation:
Business process re-engineering (BPR) is part of the larger discipline of business model optimization, which consists of methods, tools, and technology to support and continuously improve business processes.
The main purpose of business process re-engineering (BPR) is to remove any unnecessary process which does not add value to a business, then to simplify and automate other processes left so as to reduce costs, cycle time, and labor.
Hence, this would ensure that the business is running smoothly without any downtime, backlogs or inefficiency.
Ask Socrates, Inc., employees are allowed to dress informally. This is an example of a __________ through which organizational culture is transmitted.
The question is incomplete:
Ask Socrates, Inc., employees are allowed to dress informally. This is an example of a __________ through which organizational culture is transmitted.
A) primary procedure
B) ritual
C) material symbol
D) symbolic act
E) fundamental mechanism
Answer:
C) material symbol
Explanation:
-Primary procedure is a document that indicates employees how to perform a core activity in the business process.
-Ritual refers to a group of acctivities that are performed in a specific way according to an established order.
-Material symbol is a type of non-verbal communication that goes from the employer to the employees that shows the culture of the company.
-Symbolic act is an act that represents an idea without using words.
-Fundamental mechanism refers to a key process that helps people to perform their jobs.
According to this, the answer is that this is an example of a material symbol through which organizational culture is transmitted because a material symbol is a non-verbal form of communication from the employer to the employees and in this case, the company allows employees to dress informally and the organization's culture is communicated through this.
Suppose the rate of return on short-term government securities (perceived to be risk-free) is about 5%. Suppose also that the expected rate of return required by the market for a portfolio with a beta of 1 is 12%. According to the capital asset pricing model: a. What is the expected rate of return on the market portfolio?
Answer: 12%
Explanation:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model can be used to calculate the expected return of the portfolio using the formula;
Expected Return = Risk-free rate + beta ( market return - risk-free rate)
Expected Return = 5% + 1(12% - 5%)
Expected Return= 5% + 7%
Expected Return = 12%

Park co is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $26120 and provides expected cash inflows of 8600 annually for four years. Assume park co. requires a 10% return on investments.
What is the net present value of this investment? (PV Of $1. FV of $1, P A of $1, and FVA of $1. Round your present value factor to 4 declmals.)
Answer:
$1140.28
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value of this investment is shown below:-
= Annual Cash flows × Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n) - Initial Investment
as
Annual cash flows = $8600
Present Value of Annuity Factor (r , n)
r = 10% and n = 4 years
So, the Present Value of Annuity Factor will be the sum of the present value of 4 years at 10%
For Year 1 = 0.9091
For Year 2 = 0.8264
For Year 3 = 0.7513
For Year 4 = 0.6830
Total = 3.1698
Therefore,
Net Present Value = (Cash inflow × Total) -
Initial Investment
= ($8600 × 3.1698) - $26,120
= $27,260.28 - $26,120
= $1140.28

research and describe an organization that you believe has been highly innovative ( excluding apple). which of the four types of innovation – radical, incremental, disruptive, or architectural did it use? did the firm use different types over time?
Answer:
The innovative Uber Company.
Explanation:
This company used disruptive innovation to disrupt the taxi industry after they started off as a ride sharing platform in 2010/2011. From humble beginnings, just after a few years after lunch, this company has over 110 million users worldwide.
However, over the years Uber has also used radical innovation to diversify into other services such as Uber Food– for deliveries etc.
Note that disruptive innovation is marked by creating a change from the status quo; which may invariably affect the normal trend– in this case commercial taxi cab.
suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 23 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.8 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 4.7 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of bond = €875.09
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond would be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 3.8% × 1,000 = 38
PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- annual yield = 4.7%
n- 23
PV of interest payment= 38 × (1-(1.047^(-23)/0.047 = €527.37
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV = 1,000 × (1.047)^(-23) = €347.717
Step 3
Price of bond
= 527.37+ 347.717 = €875.09
Price of bond = €875.09
The crowding-out effect refers to the possibility that:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
b. an increase in the supply of money will induce a decline in real spending.
c. when used simultaneously, expansionary fiscal and monetary policies are counter-productive.
d. the speculative demand for money varies inversely with the interest rate.
Answer:
a. a deficit, financed by borrowing in the capital markets, will increase the interest rate and reduce investment in the private sector.
Explanation:
Crowding out effect is when government borrowing from the capital markets leads to an increase in interest rate. this makes it more expensive for private sector to borrow and this reduces investment by private sector
Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to
Answer:
Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Explanation:
This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:
Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)
Where;
Y = Total Output = $35 billion
C = Desired consumption = $15 billion
G = Government purchases = $10 billion
I = Desired investment = $6 billion
NX = Net foreign lending = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:
$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX
$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX
NX = $4 billion
Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.
Give one example of how you think the Law of One Price may hold.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2018 (before discovery of error), $852,000. Cash dividends declared and paid during the year, $13,000. Two years ago, it forgot to record depreciation expense of $44,600 (net of tax benefit). The company earned $219,000 in net income this year. Prepare a statement of retained earnings for Amos Company. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
Amos Company
Statement of Retained Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019:
December 31, 2018 balance $852,000
adjustment of error:
Depreciation expense for 2017 -44,600
Adjusted Retained Earnings $807,400
Income for the year 219,000
less Dividends -13,000
Retained Earnings, Dec. 31, 2019 $1,013,400
Explanation:
The depreciation expense of $44,600 would be recorded by deducting it from the beginning retained earnings. This adjusts the balance to reflect the previous year's errors. Then the year's earnings are added before the payment of dividends. The resultant figure is the retained earnings to be carried to the next accounting period.

A metal fabricator produces connecting rods with an outer diameter that has a 1 ± .01 inch specification. A machine operator takes several sample measurements over time and determines the sample mean outer diameter to be 1.002 inches with a standard deviation of .003 inch.
a. Calculate the Cp of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cp =
b. Calculate the Cpk of the process. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
Cpk =
Answer:
A) 1.111
B) 0.889
Explanation:
given data :
outer diameter of connecting rods = 1 ± 0.01 inch
sample mean outer diameter = 1.002 inches
standard deviation = 0.003 inches
A) Calculating the Cp of the process
mean = 1.002
Standard deviation = 0.003
LSL = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
USL = 1 + 0.01 = 1.01
[tex]Cp = \frac{USL - LSL}{6 * STANDARD DEVIATION}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.01-0.99}{6*0.003}[/tex] = 1.111
B) calculate Cpk
mean = 1.002, LSL = 0.99, USL = 1.01 , deviation = 0.003
[tex]Cpk = min[\frac{mean-LSL}{3* deviation} , \frac{USL- mean}{3*deviation} ][/tex]
= min [(0.012/0.009) , (0.008/0.009) ]
= min [ 1.333, 0.889 ]
hence Cpk = 0.889
Development normally stops at about age:
A. 40
B. 25.
C. Development never stops.
D. 5.
Answer:
B. 25.
Explanation:
Normally the life of a human breaks into various stages like infancy, childhood, adolescence, old age ,and adulthood which depends upon the level of age.
Like we can say that in the age of 18 the person is an adult but at the age of 25 he has reached to the level of maturity in term of mental, physical, strength, emotional, etc
And at this level, the development normally stops i.e brain not with the person body
Hence, option b is correct
Answer:
development never stops
Explanation:
our bodies are always changing and always growing to be something different. This includes every 7 years our cells are completely changed so we are practically all new people. option c is also the right answer on apex.
A bond has a standard deviation of 10.7 percent and an average rate of return of 6.4 percent. What is the coefficient of variation (CoV)
Answer:
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67
Explanation:
The coefficient of variation (CoV) is a measure of volatility of an investment. It tells the volatility in comparison with the expected return from the investment. We can say that the CoV tells us the risk per unit of return as CoV is calculated by dividing standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the expected return of the investment.
CoV = SD / r
Where,
SD is the standard deviationr is the expected returnCoV = 0.107 / 0.064
CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67
The following present value factors are provided for use in this problem. 1 0.9259 0.9259 2 0.8573 1.7833 3 0.7938 2.5771 4 0.7350 3.3121 Cliff Co. wants to purchase a machine for $40,000, but needs to earn an 8% return. The expected year-end net cash flows are $12,000 in each of the first three years, and $16,000 in the fourth year. What is the machine's net present value?
Answer:
$2,685.64
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-40,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 3 = $12,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $16,000
I = 8%
NPV = $2,685.64
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Santoyo Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. Data concerning a particular order appear below:
Hours
Wait time 12.5
Process time 1.6
Inspection time 0.8
Move time 4.2
Queue time 5.9
The delivery cycle time was:______
Answer:
Santoyo Corporation
Tracking Time to Fill Orders:
The delivery cycle time was 25 hours.
Explanation:
The delivery cycle time sums the time occasioned by the supply delay and the reordering delay before the goods reach the customer. As an order is received by Santoyo Corporation there is usually a wait time of half a day or 12.5 hours. The processing of the order consumes 1.6 hours. Before delivery is made, the inspectors spend 0.8 hours or 48 minutes doing what they know best. Then, freight takes 4.2 hours for the delivery van to reach the customer's warehouse. At that point, another 5.9 hours are spent queueing for the receipt of the goods by the customer.
Which of the following is an example of a hidden variable? Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.
Answer:
Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment.
Explanation:
Hidden variable: The term "hidden variable" is described as the proposition that specific "statistical models" of any physical systems, for example, Quantum mechanics are being incomplete inherently, and along with this the apparent randomness of a particular system is being dependent not on "collapsing functions" but instead it is due to any unmeasurable or unseen or hidden variables.
While examining cash receipts information, the accounting department determined the following information: opening cash balance $180, cash on hand $1,350.89, and cash sales per register tape $1,186.34. Prepare the required journal entry based upon the cash count sheet.
Answer:
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Beingthe cash is recorded)
Explanation:
Before passing the journal entry first we have to determine the ending cash balance which is shown below:
Ending Cash Balance is
= Opening Cash Balance + Sales
= $180 + $1,186.34
= $1,366.34
Short cash is
= Ending cash balance - cash on hand
= $1,366.34 - $1,350.89
= $15.45
And, the actual cash is
= Cash on hand - opening cash balance
= $1,350.89 - $180
= $1,170.89
Now the journal entry is
Cash $1,170.89
Cash Over/Short $15.45
To Sales Revenue $1,186.34
(Being the cash is recorded)
