Answer:
using both industry attractiveness and business strength measurements in allocating resources and investment capital to a corporation's different businesses.
Explanation:
A nine-cell matrix can be defined as a strategic framework that provides a systematic approach used multi-business corporations to set priority on their investments among the different business units. Thus, it offers strategic implications of an investment by evaluating business portfolios, which are mainly based on business strength and market attractiveness.
Furthermore, the nine-cell industry attractiveness competitive strength matrix is a strategic framework adopted by individuals or managers in order to assist them in deciding which businesses should have low, average, and high priorities in deploying corporate resources.
Hence, the nine-cell attractiveness-strength matrix provides clear, strong logic for using both industry (market) attractiveness and business strength measurements in allocating corporate resources and investment capital to the different businesses owned by a corporation.
Hearne Company has a number of potential capital investments. Because these projects vary in nature, initial investment, and time horizon, management is finding it difficult to compare them. Assume straight line depreciation method is used. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Project 1: Retooling Manufacturing Facility This project would require an initial investment of $4,850,000. It would generate $865,000 in additional net cash flow each year. The new machinery has a useful life of eight years and a salvage value of $1,000,000.
Project 2: Purchase Patent for New Product The patent would cost $3,400,000, which would be fully amortized over five years. Production of this product would generate $425,000 additional annual net income for Hearne.
Project 3: Purchase a New Fleet of Delivery Trucks Hearne could purchase 25 new delivery trucks at a cost of $115,000 each. The fleet would have a useful life of 10 years, and each truck would have a salvage value of $5,000. Purchasing the fleet would allow Hearne to expand its customer territory resulting in $200,000 of additional net income per year.

Profitability Index 1.0478 1.2321 1.0320
Key Calculation Formulas:
Annual cash flows = Annual Depreciation Plus Annual Net Income
Present of annual cash flows = Annuity factor * Annual cash flows
PV of Salvage value = Salvage value * Discount Factor
The Depreciable or Amortization amount = Initial investment cost Minus Salvage value
Annual Returns = Annual Cash inflow Minus Depreciation
Average annual investment cost = Initial investment cost/useful life
Accounting rate of return = average annual returns/average annual investment cost
Payback period = Initial investment/Annual cash inflows
Total PV of cash flows = PV of annual cash inflows + PV of Salvage value
NPV = Total PV of cash flows Minus Initial Investment Cost
Profitability Index = Total PV of cash flows/Initial Investment Cost
Which of the following is a firm's cash cycle?
a. the average length of time between when a firm originally purchases its inventory and when it receives the cash back from selling its product
b. the average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it receives cash from the sale of the product produced from that inventory
c. the average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it sells that product
d. the average length of time between when a firm originally purchases its inventory and when it sells the product produced from that inventory
Answer:
he average length of time between when a firm pays cash to purchase its initial inventory and when it receives cash from the sale of the product produced from that inventory
Explanation:
A firm's cash cycle measure the time required for a company to go from cash paid (used in its operations) to cash received (as a result of operations)
It is an example of a liquidity ratio
Liquidity ratios measure the ability of a firm to meet its short term obligations
Cash cycle = days of inventory on hand + days of sales outstanding - number of days of payable
the shorter the cash cycle, the more liquid the firm is and the better for the firm
The U.S. has expected inflation of 2%, while Country A, Country B, and Country C have expected inflation of 7%. Country A engages in much international trade with the U.S. The products that are traded between Country A and the U.S. can easily be produced by either country. Country B engages in much international trade with the U.S. The products that are traded between Country B and the U.S. are important health products, and there are not substitutes for these products that are exported from the U.S. to Country B or from Country B to the U.S. Country C engages in much international financial flows with the U.S. but very little trade. If you were to use purchasing power parity (PPP) to predict the future exchange rate over the next year for the local currency of each country against the dollar, PPP would provide the most accurate forecast for the currency of: _________
Answer:
If you were to use purchasing power parity (PPP) to predict the future exchange rate over the next year for the local currency of each country against the dollar, PPP would provide the most accurate forecast for the currency of: _________
Country A.
Explanation:
The U.S. and Country A have Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) if an exchange rate can be determined between these two countries' currencies when their purchasing power is in equilibrium. This parity can only be established by comparing a basket of goods in the two countries. This basket of goods is not possible to compare with Country B or Country C that has no similar goods with the U.S.

Eagle Company uses a standard cost system that has provided the following data: Units of output manufactured 90 Direct labor Standard hours allowed 2 hours per unit of product Standard wage rate $ 15.60 per hour Actual direct labor 200 hours, total cost of $3,520 The direct labor rate variance for the period was: Multiple Choice $712 favorable. $400 favorable. $400 unfavorable. $712 unfavorable.\
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $400 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (15.6 - 17.6)*200
Direct labor rate variance= $400 unfavorable
Actual rate= 3,520 / 200= $17.6
Autoliv produces air bag systems that it sells to automobile manufacturers throughout the world. Assume the company has a capacity of 50 million units per year, it is currently producing at an annual rate of 40 million units. Autoliv has received an order from a Japanese manufacturer to purchase 100,000 units at $65 each. Budgeted costs for 40 million and 45 million units are as follows:
(in thousands, except costs per unit) 40 Million Units 45 Million Units
Manufacturing costs
Direct materials $ 560,000 $ 630,000
Direct labor 220,000 247,500
Factory overhead 1,780,000 1,822,500
Total 2,560,000 2,700,000
Selling and administrative 1,120,000 1,125,000
Total $ 3,680,000 $ 3,825,000

Manufacturing $ 64.00 $ 60.00
Selling and administrative 28.00 25.00
Total $ 92.00 $ 85.00
Sales to auto manufacturers are priced at $120 per unit, but the sales manager believes the company should aggressively seek the Japanese business even if it results in a loss of $20 per unit. She believes obtaining this order would open up several new markets for the company's product. The general manager commented that the company cannot tighten its belt to absorb the $2,000,000 loss ($20 × 100,000) it would incur if the order is accepted.
(a) Determine the financial implications of accepting the order. (Hint: Use the high-low method to determine variable costs per unit.)
Accepting the offer will Answerdecreaseincrease
profits by $________
(b) How would your analysis differ if the company were operating at capacity? Determine the advantage or disadvantage of accepting the order under full-capacity circumstances.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The variable cost per unit will be:
= (3,825,000 - 3,680,000) / (45million - 40 million)
= 0.029
Then, the financial order of accepting the order will be:
Contribution margin = Unit selling price - Unit
= 65 - 29
= 36
Since the size of the order is 100,000, the financial impact of accepting the order will be:
= 36 × 100,000
= 3,600,000
b. The differential analysis will be:
Contribution from special order = 3,600,000
Opportunity cost {100,000 = 120,000,000 - 29,000,000 = 9,100,000
Net disadvantage of accepting order will then be:
= 3600000 - 9100000
= 5,500,000
The following information relates to the only product sold by Harper Company. Sales price per unit $ 45 Variable cost per unit 27 Fixed costs per year 247,000 a. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the dollar sales volume required to break even. b. Assuming that the company sells 20,000 units during the current year, compute the margin of safety (in dollars).
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below
a.
For Contribution Margin ratio
We know that
Contribution margin per unit = Sale price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $45 - $27
= $18
Now
Contribution margin ratio = Contibution Margin per unit ÷ Sale price per unit
= $18 ÷ $45
= 0.4
Now
Break even sales dollar
Break even sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $247,000 ÷ 0.4
= $617,500
b.
For Margin of Safety
The Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break Even Sales
where,
Actual sales(in $) = 20000 × 45
= $900,000
So, Margin of safety is
= $900,000 - $617,500
= $282,500
Durable goods $3,000 Services 6,000 Business purchases of capital goods 400 Fixed investment 850 Exports 600 Imports 800 Nondurable goods 700 Inventory investment 200 Government transfer payments 100 Purchases of new residential housing 450 Government purchases 900 Refer to Exhibit 7-3. Consumption is equal to
Answer:
$9,700
Explanation:
The computation of the consumption is shown below;
= Durable goods + Services + Non-durable goods
= $3,000 + $6,000 + $700
= $9,700
We simply added the durable goods, services and the non-durable goods so that the consumption could be come
Hence, the consumption is $9,700
Therefore the same is to be considered
Garth is best friends with Wayne, the CEO of Great Pharma, Incorporated (GPI), a publicly traded corporation. GPI had just made an important discovery: the cure for cancer. The information has been kept secret by GPI. Before the news was made public in a press conference, Wayne told Garth about it on May 1 and that day Garth bought 10,000 shares of GPI stock. The press conference was on May 2 and after the announcement, GPI stock went up $50 a share. Garth immediately sold his stock and made $500,000. Garth is known in the law of insider trading as a/an
Answer:
Garth is known in the law of insider trading as a
secondary insider.
Explanation:
Garth's contact with inside information in GPI is not primary since he does not have the direct privileged information, unlike Wayne, his friend, who is also the CEO of GPI. However, he has benefited from secondary information through Wayne. His conduct is also a violation of the Securities Act as amended. He used non-publicly available information to trade on the stock of GPI and made huge profits.
Superior has provided the following information for its recent year of operation: The common stock account balance at the beginning of the year was $11,000 and the year-end balance was $15,500. The additional paid-in capital account balance increased $3,600 during the year. The retained earnings balance at the beginning of the year was $65,000 and the year-end balance was $90,000. Net income was $37,000. How much were Superior's dividend declarations during its recent year of operation
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, we will apply the formula below:
The ending balance of retained earnings = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net income - Dividend paid
$90,000 = $65,000 + $37,000 - Dividend paid
Dividend paid = $65,000 + $37,000 - $90,000
Dividend paid = $12,000
Therefore, the above balance of $12,000 would be displayed in the retained earnings statment
Waldo Company has been approached about providing a new service to its clients. The company will bill clients $160 per hour; the related hourly variable and fixed operating costs will be $70 and $24, respectively. If all employees are currently working at full capacity on other client matters, the per-hour opportunity cost of being unable to provide this new service is:
Answer:
$90 per hour
Explanation:
Opportunity cost means the benefit one have forgone, for choosing another alternative. Opportunity cost of being unable to provide new service = Billing price - Variable cost per hour. Here, fixed cost is not considered because it will be incurred irrespective of the capacity of working.
So, Opportunity cost = $160 - $70 = $90 per hour

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial investment cost of production facility = $15 million
Estimated useful life of equipment = 10 years
Residual value = $500,000
Annual depreciation expense = $1,450,000 ($15m - $500,000)/10
Net Annual Cash inflows = Net operating income + Depreciation
= $2,690,000 + $1,450,000 = $4,140,000
The master budget of Marigold Corp. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected:
Indirect labor $800000
Machine supplies 250000
Indirect materials 250000
Depreciation on factory building 70000
Total manufacturing overhead $1370000
A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of :_________.
a. $1630000
b. $1370000.
c. $1644000.
d. $1574000.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
First, we need to separate the fixed costs and calculate the unitary variable costs:
Fixed costs:
Depreciation on factory building= 70,000
Total unitary varaible cost:
Total cost= 800,000 + 250,000 + 250,000= $1,300,000
Unitary cost per hour= 1,300,000 / 50,000= $26
Now, the total cost for 60,000 hours:
Total cost= 26*60,000 + 70,000
Total cost= $1,630,000
The currency in Macroland is called econs. In Macroland, the public holds 2,000 econs in currency; commercial bank reserves are 300 econs; and the desired reserve-to-deposit ratio of the commercial banks is 10%. If the Central Bank of Macroland prints an additional 200 econs and uses this new currency to buy government bonds from the public, the money supply in Macroland will ____, assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds from before.
Answer:
D)5,000; 7,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The total bank deposit would be
= (300 ÷ 0.10) + 2,000
= 3,000 + 2,000
= 5,000
In the case when the reserve ratio is 10% so the money multiplier would be 10
Since there is extra inflow of currency so by having the multiplier effect it would be 2000 econs
Now first it is 5,000 econ than it would become 7,000 econ
If there is an additional inflow of currency because of printing 200 econs by central bank then because of multiplier effect it will be 2000 econs.
Money supply from earlier 5000 econs will become 7000 econs.
At the beginning of June, 6,000 diamonds were in process. During June, an additional 9,000 diamonds were started. 7,000 diamonds were completed and transferred to finished goods. As of the beginning of the month, work in process was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. As of the end of the month, work in process was 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of direct labor for June.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units are physical units expressed as a percentage of work done on then. In this case we express the physical outputs as percentage of direct labor.
Step 1: Ending Work in Process units calculation :
Ending Work in Process units = 6,000 + 9,000 - 7,000
= 8,000
Step 2 : Equivalent units of direct labor for June calculation:
Completed and transferred (7,000 x 100%) 7,000
Ending Work in Process (8,000 x 30%) 2,400
Equivalent units of production 9,400

Answer: $152,210
Explanation:
The net income is the income that remains after the expenses has been deducted from the revenue.
Clean123 Inc.'s net income will be calculated as:
Service revenue = $193,750
Less: Salaries expense = $26,900
Less: rent expense = $14,640.
Net income = $152,210
Therefore, the net income is $152210
The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet. The argument above is flawed because it confuses:_________
Answer:
The argument is confusing an average for the individuals who make up that average.
Explanation:
The argument assumes that the height of all members of the team is above 6 ft. this is flawed because it assumes that the average height is equal to the height of the members of the team
for example, there are two members in the team
assume that the height of each member is 6 ft 3 inches. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches
Assume that the height of one member is 10.6 in and jerry's height is 2.0. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches. Here Jerry's height is less than 6ft
Stanford Corporation has four categories of overhead. The expected overhead costs for each category for next year are as follows:
Maintenance $210,000
Materials handling 90,000
Setups 75,000
Inspection 150,000
The company has been asked to submit a bid for a proposed job. The plant manager believes that obtaining this job would result in new business in future years. Bids are usually based upon full manufacturing cost plus 30 percent. Estimates for the proposed job are as follows:
Direct materials $5000
Direct labor (375 hours) $7500
Number of material moves 4
Number of inspections 3
Number of setups 2
Number of machine-hours 150
Expected activity for the four activity-based cost drivers that would be used is:
Machine-hours 10,000
Material moves 2,000
Setups 100
Quality inspections 4,000
Required:
a. Determine the amount of overhead that would be allocated to the proposed job if 20,000 direct labor-hours are used as the volume-based cost driver.
b. Determine the total costs of the proposed job.
c. Determine the company's bid if the bid is based upon full manufacturing cost plus 30 percent.
d. Determine the amount of overhead that would be applied to the proposed project if activity-based costing is used.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a)
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,325,000 / 20,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $116.25 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 116.25*375
Allocated MOH= $43,493.75
b)
Total cost= 5,000 + 7,500 + 43,493.75
Total cost= $55,993.75
c)
Selling price= 55,993.75*1.3
Selling price= $72,791.88
d)
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Maintenance= 210,000 / 10,000= $21 per machine hour
Materials handling= 90,000 / 2,000= $45 per material move
Setups= 75,000 / 100= $750 per setup
Inspection= 150,000 / 4,000= $37.5 per inspection
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Maintenance= 21*150= 3,150
Materials handling= 45*4= 180
Setups= 750*2= 1,500
Inspection= 37.5*3= 112.5
Total allocated costs= $4,942.5
if the company chooses the lease option, it will have to pay an immediate deposit of 25000 to cover any future damages to the equipment. deposit is refundable at the end of the lease term. the annual lease payments are made at the end of each year. based on a net present value analysis with a discount rate of 20% what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying the equipment rather than leasing it
Answer:
The answer is "68,788".
Explanation:
Net cash flow present value = immediate deposit + Annual lease payment present value
[tex]= 25000+(18000\times 2.991)-25000\times 0.402[/tex]
Net cash flow present value [tex]= 78838-10050 = 68788[/tex]

Cash flow from Operating ActivitiesCash flow from Investing ActivitiesCash flow from Financing ActivitiesThe ABC Company has recognized the following demand for the next four quarters:
Quarter Demand
1 3000 units
2 4000 units
3 4500 units
4 3500 units
ABC has traditionally used the hiring and firing of workers to accommodate the changes in demand for their products but is considering maintaining a stable workforce and subcontracting production when demand exceeds the capability of the workforce. They currently have 30 workers, each capable of producing 100 units per quarter. It costs them $3000 to hire a worker and $5000 to fire a worker.
If they subcontract the work, it will cost them $30 per unit above their normal production cost. Given this information, should they continue their current practice or move to subcontracting the production over what their current workforce can produce?
Answer: Subcontracting production
Explanation:
It is cheaper for ABC Company to subcontract the jobs than to hire and fire workers as needed. Even though the cost is similar when it comes to hiring permanent workers and training them vs subcontracting them, when the company needs to produce less goods, the cost of firing the permanent employees is simply too much.
For instance, 1,000 units out of the 4,000 units in the second quarter cannot be covered by the 30 workers they have. They will need to hire 10 additional workers and training them would cost $30,000. That is the same cost they would incur if they subcontracted (30 * 1,000 units = $30,000).
What happens in quarter 4 however, when they have to let go of 10 employees because production dropped by 1,000 units? They will have to pay $50,000. If they were subcontracting, they would not have to pay a dime. It is therefore better to subcontract.
