Year 3 Year 2 Year 1 Net sales $ 308,000 $ 239,000 $ 289,000 Accounts receivable, net (year-end) 37,700 35,500 32,200 (1) Compute its accounts receivable turnover for Year 2 and Year 3. (2) Assuming its competitor has a turnover of 12.6, is Raheem performing better or worse at collecting receivables than its competitor? Better Worse
Answer:
(1) Compute its accounts receivable turnover for Year 2 and Year 3.
year 2 = 7.06year 3 = 8.42(2) Assuming its competitor has a turnover of 12.6, is Raheem performing better or worse at collecting receivables than its competitor?
the higher the accounts receivable turnover ratio, the better. In this case, their competitor is much better at collecting their accounts receivables than Raheem.Explanation:
Year 3 Year 2 Year 1
Net sales $308,000 $239,000 $289,000
Accounts receivable, net (year-end) $37,700 $35,500 $32,200
accounts receivable turnover = net sales / average accounts receivable
accounts receivable turnover year 2 = 239,000 / [(35,500 + 32,200)/2] = 7.06
accounts receivable turnover year 3 = 308,000 / [(35,500 + 37,700)/2] = 8.42

Select a problem that a firm might have bringing out a new product or service and discuss how the firm could overcome that problem.
Explanation:
A potentially serious problem for a company is to launch a new product or service on the market without conducting marketing research to investigate the acceptance of its product to its target audience.
Marketing research is an essential tool for a company to collect relevant data and information about what the consumers' needs and desires are, what benefits they expect from a product or service, what features the product should have, the design, the price, and several other essential variables to help the company better understand the market and make the best decisions when launching a new product
You are pitching a marketing proposal to a company that sells electronic equipment. For a particular product line, their current sales price is $20 per unit, cost is $9 per unit and they have $20,000 in fixed costs associated with this line. Last year, they sold 8,200 units. You are proposing that the company implement your marketing plan which will cost $3,000 per year. You believe this will increase their sales units by 350 units. Calculate the contribution margin ratio at the projected levels, the projected change in operating income of your proposal and the projected ROI. Additionally, if the company requires a 12% return on its investments, calculate the maximum you could charge for your marketing plan.
Answer:
without marketing with marketing differential
plan plan amount
total sales 8,200 8,550 350
sales revenue $164,000 $171,000 $7,000
variable costs ($73,800) ($76,950) ($3,150)
contribution $90,200 $94,050 $3,850

income
The return on investment (ROI) from your marketing plan = $850 / $3,000 = 28.33%
If the required ROI is 12%, then you could charge = net increase in operating profits / (1 + required ROI) = $3,850 / 1.12 = $3,437.50

Richards Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for October in its Fabricating Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 100,000 units, 80% complete as to materials and 25% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 290,000. Units completed and transferred out: 390,000. Ending Inventory: 40,000 units, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $57,200. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $99,700. Costs incurred in October - Direct Materials: $828,520. Costs incurred in October - Conversion: $939,300. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
$2.64 per units
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per equivalent unit of material is shown below:
Cost per equivalent unit is
= (Beginning conversion cost + cost incurred during October) ÷ (Total equivalent units)
= ($99,700 + $939,300) ÷ (390,000 units + (40,000 units × 10%))
= $1,039,000 ÷ 394,000 units
= $2.64 per units

Coronado, Inc. had net sales in 2017 of $1,493,700. At December 31, 2017, before adjusting entries, the balances in selected accounts were Accounts Receivable $329,800 debit, and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $4,060 credit. If Coronado estimates that 9% of its receivables will prove to be uncollectible. Prepare the December 31, 2017, journal entry to record bad debt expense.
Answer:
December 31,
DR Bad Debt Expense $25,622
CR Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $25,622
Explanation:
The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts helps provide a sort of cushion for the business by accounting for potential bad debts for the business so that if bad debts occur, they are taken from this account and not the Receivables account.
Coronado estimates that 9% of receivables will be uncollectible so;
= 9% * 329,800
= $29,682
However, $4,060 is already in the account so the new balance that should be brought into the account to ensure that it totals $29,682 is;
= 29,682 - 4,060
= $25,622
The present value of free cash flows is $15 million and the present value of the horizon value is $100 million. Calculate the present value of the business.
A. $15 million
B. $100 million
C. $115 million
D. Cannot be determined.
Answer:
Option C, $115 million is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Given the present value (PV) of cash flow = $15 million
The present value of time horizon = $100 million
Now we have to calculate the present value (PV) of the business and this can be calculated by just adding the present value of free cash flows and the present value of horizon value.
The present value of the business = the present value (PV) of cash flow + The present value of the time horizon.
= 15 million + 100 million
= 115 million.
Therefore, option C. $115 million is correct.

Use the information for the question(s) below. Project A Project B Time 0 −10,000 −10,000 Time 1 5,000 4,000 Time 2 4,000 3,000 Time 3 3,000 10,000 If WiseGuy Inc. uses IRR rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
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
Mary just bought a 20-year bond with an 8% coupon rate (paid semi-annually) and $1000 par value for $1050. She is expecting an effective annual yield (EAY) of
Answer:
7.65%
Explanation:
Calculation for Mary effective annual yield (EAY)
The first step is to find the Semiannual coupon payment using this formula
Semiannual coupon payment=(Par value×Coupon rate percentage/2)
Let plug in the formula
Semiannual coupon payment =($1,000 × 8%) ÷2
Semiannual coupon payment= $80 ÷ 2 = $40
Second step is to find The total number of compounding period will be 20 years bond × The number of the compounding period er year which is 2
Hence,
The total number of compounding period will= 2 periods per year × 20 years = 40 periods.
Third step is to use the financial calculator which calculated the rate as 3.76% which means that:
Semiannual yield will be :3.76%
Therefore the Annual yield will be calculatedas = 3.76% ×2
Annual yield= 7.51%
The last step is to find the effective annual yield (EAY) using this formula
EAY = [1+(Quoted interest rate / m]m -1
Let plug in the formula
EAY = [1+(0.0751÷2)]2 -1
EAY= 7.65%.
Therefore the effective annual yield (EAY) will be 7.65%

: Imagine that Canada, the US, and Mexico decide to adopt a fixed exchange rate system. What would be the likely consequences of such a system for the flow of trade and investment between all three countries
Answer:
The exchange rate would benefit the U.S. and Canada more, that it would benefit Mexico.
This is because the Mexican currency: Mexican Peso, is devalued when compared to the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar. This means that Mexican exports are comparatively cheaper than American or Canadian exports, causing a great growth of Mexican manufacturing in recent decades.
In a fixed exchange rate system, Mexico would lose this competitive advantage. It would still have lower labor costs, but the amount of manufacturing that would move from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico would probably be less.

Jan's Bakery is considering a merger with Tina's Cookies. Jan's total operating costs of producing services are $300,000 for a sales volume of $2 million. Tina's total operating costs of producing services are $75,000 for a sales volume of $600,000. If the two firms merge, calculate the total average cost for the merged firm assuming no synergies.
Answer:
Jan's Bakery and Tina Cookies
Total Average Cost for the merged firm
= ($300,000 + $75,000)/2
= $187,500
Explanation:
The total average cost for Jan's Bakery and Tina's Cookies is the average of their total operating costs. This is obtained by adding $300,000 to $75,000 and then dividing by 2.
Though, in practical terms, the presence of some synergies will cut some of the operating costs off, especially such costs as rent, advertising, and some other administrative costs. Some selling costs will also be eliminated when the merger goes through.
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%
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%

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.
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

Answer:
1. 28.09 %
2.0.50 times
3.13.97 %
Explanation:
Margin = Profit / Sales × 100
= $ 5,000,000 / $ 17,800,000 × 100
= 28.09 % (2 decimal places.)
Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
= $ 17,800,000 / $ 35,800,000
= 0.50 times (2 decimal places.)
Return on investment = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets employed in the division × 100
= $ 5,000,000 / $ 35,800,000 × 100
= 13.97 % (2 decimal places.)
The manager of a gas station noticed that when prices in the convenience store of the gas station decreased, gas sales increased. This could possibly be because the convenience store products are
Answer:
usually complements to the gas sales
Explanation:
Complementary products are those that their demand increases with the increased demand of other products.
Complementary products are usually used together. For example tea and sugar are consumed together, so an increase in tea consumption should result in an increase in sugar consumption.
In this scenario when the price of the convenience store products falls, their demand will increase. If there is an increase in gas sales too it is logical to conclude that the convenience store goods are complements of gas sales.
The original cost of the machine was $1,800,000. The machine has a class life of 15 years, but after 13 years, the firm has decided to sell the machine for $320,000. If Monster Potato has a marginal tax rate of 21%, what is the tax effect associated with the decision?
Answer: $16,800 tax payment.
Explanation:
Annual depreciation on machine = [tex]\frac{1,800,000}{15}[/tex]
= $120,000
Accumulated Depreciation in 13 years;
= 120,000*13
= $1,560,000
Book Value at 13 years
= 1,800,000 - 1,560,000
= $240,000
Company sold it at a higher price than its book value so there will be a capital gain of;
= 320,000 - 240,000
= $80,000
Tax is charged on the marginal gain;
= 80,000 * 21%
= $16,800
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?
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.

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
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
