Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

K425 M67

Number of units produced per year 200 2,000

Direct labor-hours 1,050 40

Machine-hours 2,800 30

Machine setups 17 2

Production orders 17 2

Shipments 34 2

Product sustaining 2 2

To calculate the total overhead allocated to each product, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

K425:

Supporting direct labor= 9*1,050= 9,450

Machine processing= 3*2,800= 8,400

Machine setups= 40*17= 680

Production orders= 170*17= 2,890

Shipments= 115*34= 3,910

Product sustaining= 750*2= 1,500

Total overhead= $26,830

M67:

Supporting direct labor= 9*40= 360

Machine processing= 3*30= 90

Machine setups= 40*2= 80

Production orders= 170*2= 340

Shipments= 115*2= 230

Product sustaining= 750*2= 1,500

Total overhead= $2,600

Answer: Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix

Explanation:

Theodore Levitt came up with some assumptions facing opposing forces of reducing costs and adapting to local markets that international business people should be aware of which include;

On a global scale, customer needs are beginning to become homogeneous.People are willing to sacrifice their preferences for better quality products at a cheaper quality which gives Multinational Companies a chance to offer them better products than local producers due to their large sizes and Economies of scale.Having to supply the world can lead to Economies of scale in production and marketing due to the larger market.

Lowering international synergy and cost via the value chain matrix is not one of the assumptions espoused by Theodore Levitt and so is the correct answer.

Horizon Financial Inc. was organized on February 28. Projected selling and administrative expenses for each of the first three months of operations are as follows: March $173,900 April 163,500 May 148,800 Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes represent $37,000 of the estimated monthly expenses. The annual insurance premium was paid on February 28, and property taxes for the year will be paid in June. 70% of the remainder of the expenses are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred, with the balance to be paid in the following month. Required:Prepare a schedule of cash payments for selling and administrative expenses for March, April, and May. Horizon Financial Inc.

Answers

Answer:

Total Cash Payments are as follows:

For March = $95,830

For April = $129,620

For May = $116,210

Explanation:

Note: See the attached Excel file for the schedule of cash payments

The expenses paid in each month can be calculated as follows:

a. March Expenses

Paid in March = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * 70% = $95,830

Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of balance paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * (100% - 70%) = $41,070

b. April Expenses

Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($163,500 - $37,000) * 70% = $88,550

Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of balance paid = ($173,900 - $37,000) * (100% - 70%) = $37,950

c. May Expenses

Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for May - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for May) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($148,800 - $37,000) * 70% = $78,260

21. Preferred stock pays quarterly dividend of $3 a share. If investors require 12% return on a stock of a similar risk level, what is the price

Answers

Answer: $100

Explanation:

A value of a Preferred Stock is calculated like a perpetuity which means that it is derived by dividing the cash-flow by the annual interest rate.

This Stock pays $3 per quarter. It will pay _____ per year;

= $3 * 4

= $12

Value of Preferred Stock = [tex]\frac{Annual Cash-flow}{Annual Interest}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{12}{0.12}[/tex]

= $100

Answers

Answer:

PROJECT B

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A,

Cash flow in year 0 = -10,000

cash flow in year 1 = 5,000

cash flow i year 2 - 4,000

cash flow in year 3 = 3,000

IRR = 10.65%

For project B,

Cash flow in year 0 = -10,000

cash flow in year 1 = 4,000

cash flow i year 2 - 3,000

cash flow in year 3 = 10,000

IRR = 26.37%

Project B would be ranked higher because it has a higher IRR

To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button

An investment earns 35% the first year, earns 40% the second year, and loses 37% the third year. The total compound return over the 3 years was ______. Multiple Choice 158.93% 19.07% 38.00% 6.36%

Answers

Answer:

19.07%

Explanation:

The computation of the total compound return over the 3 years is shown below:

= (1 + investment percentage earned in first year) × (1 +  investment percentage earned in second year)  × (1 +  investment percentage loss in second year)

= (1 + 0.35) × (1 + 0.40) × (1 - 0.37)

= 1.35 × 1.40 × 0.63

= 1.1907

= 19.07%

What is the company's WACC?

Answers

Answer:

14.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the company WACC is shown below:

Particulars  After tax     Market value    Weights   WACC

                                                                                  (cost % × weights)

Common stock  16.75%  $27,280,000      0.79         13.25%

                               (440,000 shares × $62)

Preferred stock   3.66%  $1,804,000        0.05          0.19%

                               (22,000 shares × $82)

Debt                    3.95%    $5,400,000     0.16           0.62%

                  (5,000 shares × $1,000 × 108%)

Total                                 $34,484,000     1

                                             WACC                           14.06%

Working note

Cost of common equity is

= Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 5.2% + 1.05  × 11%

= 5.2% + 11.55%

= 16.75%

Cost of preferred stock is

= Annual dividend ÷ Market price per share

= 0.03 ÷ $82

= 3.65%

And, the cost of debt is calculated by using the RATE formula i.e

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)

= RATE(30 × 2, $1,000 × 7.2% ÷ 2, -$1,080, $1,000)

After calculated this, the rate of interest should be multiplied by 2 and then applied the tax rate of (1 - 0.40)

So, the rate is 3.95%

A consumer values a house at $525,000 and a producer values the same house at $485,000. If the transaction is completed at $510,000, what amount of tax will result in unconsummated transaction? a. A tax of $14,000 b. A tax of $15,000 c. A tax of $9,000 d. A tax of $18,000

Answers

Answer:

d. A tax of $18,000

Explanation:

If the price is higher than $525,000 which is his reservation price, the buyer will not buy the good

(1+t) > $525,000 / $510,000

1+t > 1.03

t > 0.03

t > 3%

3% of $510,000 = $15,300. So if the tax is greater than $15,300, the buyer will not buy the good . Hence, the answer is option (D) A tax of $18,000 as this tax is higher than $15,300 while other option are less than $15,300

Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units and. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in sales dollars.

Answers

Answer:

1) Break-even point in units =8000  units

2) Break-even point (sales)  = $1,800,000  

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs.

Break even point in units is calculated using this formula:

Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)

Break-even point in units = 360,000/(225- 180) = 8000  units

Break-even point in units =8000  units

2) Break-even point (sales) is computed as follows:

Break-even point (sales) =    Total general fixed cost/C/S ratio.

C/s ratio = (Selling price - variable cost)/Selling price ×  100

              = (225 - 180)/225 ×  100 = 20%

Break-even point (sales) = 360,000/20% = $1,800,000  

Break-even point (sales)  = $1,800,000  

1) Break-even point in units =8000  units

2) Break-even point (sales)  = $1,800,000

The Keynesian link between the money market and the goods and services market is __________. Changes in the money market must affect the __________ market before the goods and services market is affected.

Answers

Answer:

Indirect; investment.

Explanation:

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist born on the 5th of June, 1883 in Cambridge, England. He was famous for his brilliant ideas on government economic policy and macroeconomics which is known as the Keynesian theory. He later died on the 23rd of April, 1946 in Sussex, England.

The Keynesian link between the money market and the goods and services market is indirect. Changes in the money market must affect the investment market before the goods and services market is affected.

According to the Keynesian Transmission Mechanism, the link between the money market and the goods and services market is indirect; because at first, short-term interest rates are lowered by an increase in the supply of reserves and then with time both the bond and bank loan rates falls. Consequently, this would make investments and aggregate demand (AD curve shifts rightward) to rise or increase as a result of the low cost of capital for investors and by extension it boost the level of production or quantity of output (real gross domestic product or Real GDP).

This ultimately implies that, the interest rates affects the real and costs of capital (monetary changes).

Maria is an investment adviser who is working through investment objectives and risk tolerance with a new client, Bobby. Bobby indicates that he'd like to see some capital appreciation, achieve at least some income, and wants to maintain a relatively high level of safety and principal protection. The BEST recommendation that Maria can make to Bobby is that Bobby invest in

Answers

Answer:

The best recommendation that Maria can make to Bobby is that Bobby should invest in Federal Government Bonds and Treasury Bills.

However, it all depends on what his investments priorities and approach are.  For a relatively high level of safety and principal protection, Federal Government Bonds and Treasury Bills are the best bet.

Any other investment that will offer some income will be too risky for safety.

Explanation:

Risk appetite determines a person's investment profile.  However, it must be clear that higher returns on investment go with higher risks.  Every high return investment compensates for the high risks.  It is even the riskiest not to invest.  Risk should be studied and accepted when it cannot be avoided.  We usually say, "you cannot eat your cake and have it."

Moraine, Inc., has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays a 3.50 dividend in perpetuity. If this issue currently sells for 85 per share, what is the required return

Answers

Answer:

4.12%

Explanation:

Given that:

Payment of dividend per year = $3.50

Issue price of preferred stock = $85

(Note: Assumed that $85 is the face value of the preferred stock)

Hence, the formula for Required return = Dividend per year/ face value of the stock

= $3.5/ $85 = 0.0411764705

Then converting the answer to percentage, we have

0.0411764705 * 100% = 4.1764705

Therefore, the required return is = 4.12% (approximately)

For this discussion, you are to pretend that you're on a team project that's running behind schedule. Let's say you and your project team are three months into an eight-month project and you realize that you're already 2.5 weeks behind schedule and 15% over budget. What would you do?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The discussion or focus is on PROJECT MANAGEMENT.

You are on a team project that is running behind schedule. You and your project team are 3 months into an 8-month project.

There is a deficiency in both time management and money management.

For the project to be 3 months old, out of 8 months, then it's already in the execution stage.

Being behind schedule by 2.5 weeks implies that you have spent 2.5 weeks extra, achieving what you ought to achieve without or before the extra time. Discuss with your project team and make them more active in delivering their tasks. Time is crucial. Time is money also.

You're 15% over budget, hence you've spent 15% more than you should. Check the vendors of items and tools used in the project. You might have to change them if their products are too costly. Ensure proper accounting also. Do not disburse funds without the consultation and approval of team members who are finance experts.

In all, not more than 2 days or thereabout should be used in making these adjustments because time and money are equally pertinent!

Answers

Answer:

shutdown in the short run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.

for T-Shirt Enterprises, price is $2 which is less than average variable cost

Answers

Answer:

debit to Raw Materials of $75,000

Explanation:

In this scenario, the journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials would include a debit to Raw Materials of $75,000. A debit is an entry recording a sum owed, listed on the left-hand side or column of an account. Therefore in accounting, since Gullet Corporation's purchase was for an "additional" $75,000 worth of raw material, they owe that money to the company and must make it up through sales that those materials should generate in the future. That is why it is recorded as a debit.
