Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity Allocation Rate Mid–Fi Hi–Fi
Setup $1,700/per setup 39 setups 39 setups
Inspections $ 400/per hour 45 hours 15 hours
Machine maintenance $ 10/per machine 1,900 machine 1,200 machine
First, we need to allocate indirect costs using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Mid-Fi:
Allocated MOH= 1,700*39 + 400*45 + 10*1,900= $103,300
Hi-Fi:
Allocated MOH= 1,700*39 + 400*15 + 10*1,200= $84,300
Now, we can calculate the unitary cost.
Mid-Fi:
Unitary indirect costs= 103,300/200= $516.5
Unitary cost= 400 + 400 + 516.5= $1,316.5
Hi-Fi:
Unitary indirect cost= 84,300/250= $337.2
Unitary cost= 1,300 + 300 + 337.2= $1,937.2

Answer:
d. 2.83
Explanation:
Note: The financial statement in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the full question with the sorted financial statement.
The explanation to the answer is now as follows:
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that is used in measuring whether a company has adequate resources to meet its short-term obligations or pay its liabilities from its current assets.
The current ratio provides a comparison current assets to current liabilities of a company and it can be calculated using the following formula:
Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities ................. (1)
From the 2017 balance sheet of Burnaby Mountain Trading Company, we have:
Total current assets = $1,700,000
Total current liabilities = $600,000
Substituting the values for Total current assets and Total current liabilities into equation (1), we have:
Current ratio = $1,700,000 / $600,000 = 2.83
Therefore, The firm's current ratio for 2017 is 2.83. That is, the correct option is option d. 2.83.
This indicates that the firm has more than enough current assets to pay off 2.83 or 283% of its current liabilities.
you texpect to receive a payout from a trust fund in 3 years. The payout will be for $11000. You plan to invest the money at an annual rate of 6.5 percent until the account is worth $19000. how many years do you have to wait from today?
Answer:
11.68 years
Explanation:
For computing the number of years first we have to applied the NPER formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $11,000
Future value = $19,000
Rate of interest = 6.5%
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the number of years is 8.68
Now after 3 years, it would be
= 8.68 + 3
= 11.68 years
The CEO has given her secretary this material for a memo, but it is highly un-organized. Rewrite the memo so that the main point is first, that the memo flows in a much more logical order. Delete information not relevant to the main idea. Use strong subjects and verbs -- in other words, employ the principles we talked about in the lesson on writing.
To employees at a call center
I’m hoping you can send out a memo for me to all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we’ve had some problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them, at all sorts of time during their shift. While we are happy to be flexible, we do have a job to do and must have a certain amount of operators manning the phones at all times. Several times the phones have rung and rung with not enough people to answer them. Several supervisors have complained to me that their people have argued with them about combining their breaks and meal break to get an hour at one time. I feel like I need to put my foot down so that each supervisor doesn’t have to make their own decision. We need to remind folks of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day. Remind telephone operators that they should take the two 15 minute breaks allotted to them generally about halfway through a four-hour work period. If they want or need to take a break during another time, they should talk with their supervisor. But let folks know this should be under extraordinary circumstances. Stress that these should be extraordinary circumstances so we can count on enough people to be on the phones through the day. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, but they should be coordinated with their supervisor. Several times, we’ve lost folks we were counting on, only to find that they were on break. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources. We’d prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. I often eat at my desk but of course I’m not salaried employee. Oh, and we don’t want folks saving up their breaks and leaving work early. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks? Yes, they do -- federal law mandates it. So tell them they just can’t skip the breaks, though why they’d want to I don’t know. By the way, it looks like we’ll be hiring in the new fiscal year, as we go ahead with that expansion into the Southeast. Should be about 20 to 25 new phone operators.
Answer:
TO EMPLOYEES AT A CALL CENTER
It is my aim to send out a memo to you all phone operators. As you might or might not be aware of, we have faced series of problems lately with operators asking for breaks, or simply taking them without express permission which ended up clashing with their shift time for work. While we are happy to be flexible, we need to remind you of our policy on breaks and meal breaks through the day.
Most times,when a call came in, there will be no one to attend to it. Several supervisors have tabled the complaints of their team members, about combining their normal breaks and meal break in-order to get an hour at one time. Despite being a noble suggestion, the employees and their supervisor should remember that, the working condition was explicitly stated in the contract agreement they signed before taking this job.
In a situation were there is extraordinary condition, the call operators should liaised with their supervisor and discuss about the need to take extra break time. Meal breaks should be taken roughly halfway through their shift, which should be under strict coordination by their supervisor. Phone operators can stay at their desks and work on personal business, or simply each lunch, as long as they are not tying up resources.
We would prefer, though, that they go to the break rooms or leave their cubicles. We don’t want people to create the perception that they’re doing personal tasks during work time. We need to staff our phones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Our staggered schedule allows us to do that, but not if folks create their own schedules. Do people have to take their breaks? Yes, they do -- federal law mandates it. By the way, it looks like we will be hiring in the new fiscal year, as we go ahead with that expansion into the Southeast. Should be about 20 to 25 new phone operators.

"How much would an investor expect to pay for a $1,000 par value bond with a 9% annual coupon that matures in 5 years if the interest rate is 5%
Answer:
The answer is $1,173.18
Explanation:
N(Number of periods) = 5 years
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 5percent
PV(present value or market price) = ?
PMT( coupon payment) = $90 ( 9percent x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 5; I/Y = 5; PMT = 90; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -1,173.18
Therefore, the market price of the bond is $1,173.18
A job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.2 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 95%, and workday allowances are 10 percent. Determine each of the following:
a. Observed time.
b. Normal time.
c. Standard time.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a) Observation time is
= Average time
= 1.2 minutes
b) The Normal time is
= Observation time × performance rating
= 1.2 minutes × 0.95
= 1.14 minutes
3. The standard time is
= normal time × Allowance factor
where,
Normal time is 1.14 minutes
And, the Allowance factor is
= 1 ÷ (1- A)
= 1 ÷ (1- 0.1)
= 1.11
So, the standard time is
= 1.14 × 1.11
= 1.265 minutes.
An example of a societal ___________ is Germans' lack of interest in using credit cards like Visa and MasterCard, perhaps in part because the German word for 'debt' is the same as the word guilt.
Answer: values
Explanation:
Societal values can simply be defined as the moral principles defined by the traditions, society dynamics, and cultural beliefs.

A stock has a variance of 0.02468, a current price of $28 a share, and an average rate of return of 14.4 percent. How is the coefficient of variation (CoV) computed
Answer: 1.09
Explanation:
Coefficient of Variation (CoV) is calculated by the formula;
= [tex]\frac{Standard Deviation}{Expected Return}[/tex]
The Variance is given. Standard Deviation is;
= √Variance
= √0.02468
= 0.15709869509
Coefficient of Variation is therefore;
= [tex]\frac{0.15709869509}{0.144}[/tex]
= 1.09096316037
= 1.09

We need 25000 units per year. Two suppliers for those units have provided us their quotes. The order cost is $300 per order and holding cost is $30 per unit per month. a.) What is the economic order quantity
Answer:
EOQ = 204.124 rounded off to 204 units
Explanation:
The EOQ or economic order quantity is the optimal order quantity that a company should order every time in order to minimize the inventory related costs such as holding, ordering and shortage/stock out costs. The formula o calculate EOQ is attached.
Holding cost per unit per annum = 30 * 12 = $360
EOQ = √(2 * 25000 * 300) / 360
EOQ = 204.124 rounded off to 204 units

AB Builders, Inc., has 17-year bonds outstanding with a par value of $2,000 and a quoted price of 94.863. The bonds pay interest semiannually and have a yield to maturity of 7.07 percent. What is the coupon rate
Answer:
13.47%
Explanation:
yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
7.07% = {coupon + [($2,000 - $1,897.26)/34]} / [($2,000 + $1,897.26)/2]
7.07% = (coupon + $3.0218) / $1,948.63
coupon + $3.0218 = $1,948.63 x 7.07% = $137.7681
coupon = $137.7681 - $3.0218 = $134.7463
semiannual coupon rate = $134.7463 / $2,000 = 0.06737 x 2 = 0.1347 ≈ 13.47%

The Apple stock’s price is $112.92 on 8/1/15 and becomes $110.30 on 9/1/15. In August, Apple gives a dividend of $0.52 per share. What is the holding period monthly return for Apple in August?
Answer:
The holding period monthly return for Apple in August is -2.00%.
Explanation:
Holding period return (HPR) refers to total return that is received by an investor when he holds an asset or portfolio of assets over a period of time.
The holding period return is generally expressed as a percentage can be estimated using the following formula:
HPR = [Income + (P1 - Po)] / Po ....................... (1)
Where;
Income = Dividend = $0.52
P1 = End-of-period value = $110.30
Po = Initial value = $112.92
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
HPR = [$0.52 + ($110.30 - $112.92)] / $112.92
HPR = [$0.52 - $2.62] / $112.92
HPR = -$2.10 / $112.92
HPR = -0.02, or -2.00%
Therefore, the holding period monthly return for Apple in August is -2.00%.
Suppose Emilio offers you $500 today or $X in 10 years. If the interest rate is 6 percent, then at what value of X would you be indifferent between the two options
This question is impossible and implausible
Who is Emilio? How do we know he'll be around in 10 years? IS he good for the money, or is it counterfeit? Are we adjusting for inflation? The dollar is worth more in Malaysia than the U.S., so where are we starting and where are we ending? There's just not enough data here.
Find an example of a company's aggregate planning strategy. You can use the strategy from the firm where you currently work or where you have worked in the past; you can conduct an Internet search or use the Hunt Library resources.
Explanation:
An aggregate planning strategy can be defined as the implementation of new strategic action plans used in a company whose objective is to balance supply and demand through the implementation of material resources, sales, promotions, products, etc.
This planning occurs in the short term, and is usually carried out when a company has the capacity to meet a certain market offer, such as consumer demand for an innovative product.
Aggregated planning is a good strategy when the company considers maximizing its profits, so in order to achieve the expected result, market demand must be thoroughly analyzed, the company's operational capacity, risks, budget and other essential variables.
A soft drink factory for example can carry out a promotional campaign in the style buy 1 light 2 to increase its demand, therefore you must be aware that your productive force will be able to meet the demand, in addition to analyzing the strategic results in order to ascertain the effectiveness planning.

Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $2.75000 dividend at that time (D₃ = $2.75000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 14.30000% for the following two years (D₄ and D₅). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin’s dividend to grow at a constant rate of 3.72000% per year.
Goodwin’s required return is 12.40000%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin’s horizon value at the horizon date (when constant growth begins) and the current intrinsic value.
To increase the accuracy of your calculations, do not round your intermediate calculations, but round all final answers to two decimal places.
Term Value
Horizon value $42.93
Current intrinsic value $29.84
1. If investors expect a total return of 13.40%, what will be Goodwin's expected dividend and capital gains yield in two years-that is, the year before the firm begins paying dividends?
2. Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?
A. Yes
B. NO
Answer:
horizon value at year 5 = Div₆ / (Re - g)
Div₆ = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483Re = 12.4%g = 3.72%horizon value at year 5 = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93
current value P₀ = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84
1) dividend yield = 0/$29.84 = 0%
capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀
P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70
capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%
2) Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income). Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?
A. Yes
Since dividends must be paid out from net profits or retained earnings.
1. Dividend yield is = 26.34%
2. Goodwin has yet to record a profit (positive net income) Yes it is a correct statement.
Calculate Dividend Growth Rate
The horizon value at year 5 is = Div₆ / (Re - g)
Then, Div₆ is = ($2.75 x 1.143²) x 1.0372 = $3.726384483
After that, Re = 12.4%
Then, g = 3.72%
Now, When The horizon value at year 5 is = $3.726384483 / (12.4% - 3.72%) = $42.93
The current value P₀ is = $2.75/1.124³ + $3.14325/1.124⁴ + $46.52273/1.124⁵ is = $1.937 + $1.969 + $25.932 = $29.838 ≈ $29.84
1) dividend yield is = 0/$29.84 = 0%
After that, capital gains yield = (P₁ - P₀) / P₀
Hence, P₁ = $2.75/1.124 + $3.14325/1.124² + $46.52273/1.124³ = $2.447 + $2.488 + $32.762 = $37.697 ≈ $37.70
Therefore, capital gains yield = ($37.70 - $29.84) / $29.84 = 26.34%
2) Goodwin has yet to document a profit (positive net income). So, The correct option is = A. Yes
Since When The dividends must be paid out from net profits or retained earnings.

If Piper Manufacturing manufactures one unique set of stack pipes, and the sell price is $121,000, the variable costs per unit are $62,000, and the fixed costs are $500,000, what is the break-even point in units
Answer:
8.47
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the break-even point in units is:
Break-even point in units=Fixed costs/(Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)
Fixed costs= $500.000
Selling price per unit= $121,000
Variable cost per unit= $62,000
Break-even point in units=$500,000/($121,000-$62,000)
Break-even point in units=$500,000/59,000
Break-even point in units=8.47
According to this, the break-even point in units is 8.47.
A company had the following cash flows for the year: (a) Purchased inventory, $60,000 (b) Sold goods to customers, $90,000 (c) Received loan from a local bank, $150,000 (d) Purchased land, $180,000 (e) Purchased treasury stock, $40,000 (f) Paid dividends, $10,000 (g) Sold delivery truck, $30,000 What amount would be reported for net investing cash flows on the Statement of Cash Flows
Answer:
($150000)
Explanation:
The computation of the net investing cash flows is shown below;
Purchase of land ($180,000)
Sale of delivery truck $30,000
Net Cash used in Investing activities ($150000)
The purchase of land is an outflow of cash and the sale of delivery truck is a inflow of cash so it would be shown in a negative and positive amount
Thus all other values would be ignored
The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $50.15 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 3.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.80 in one year. What is the total return on this stock?
Answer:
11.2%
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the total return on the stock.
From the question, Price = $50.15
Mathematically;
P = D1/Ke-g
D1 = $3.80
g = 3.60%
So let’s calculate Ke-g
50.15 = 3.8/ke-g
Ke-g = 3.8/50.15
Ke-g = 7.6%
but g = 3.6%
Total return Ke = 3.6% + g = 3.6% + 7.6% = 11.2%

Use the high-low method to determine
Flower Paradise's cost equation for van operating costs. Use your results to predict van operating costs at a volume of 15,000 miles.
Let's begin by determining the formula that is used to calculate the variable cost (slope).
Change in cost / Change in volume = Variable cost (slope)
Now determine the formula that is used to calculate the fixed cost component.
Total operating cost - Total variable cost = Fixed cost
Use the high-low method to determine
Flower Paradise's operating cost equation. (Round the variable cost to the nearest cent and the fixed cost to the nearest whole dollar.)

y = $ 0.20x + $1,800
Use your results to predict van operating costs at a volume of 15,000 miles.
y = ($0.20 x 15,000) + $1,800 = $4,800
Explanation:
Month Miles Driven Van Operating Costs
January 15,500 $5,390
February 17,400 $5,280
March 15,400 $4,960
April 16,300 $5,340
May 16,500 $5,450
June 15,200 $5,230
July 14,400 $4,680
In order to calculate the fixed and variable costs using the high-low method, we must take the month with the highest activity (February) and the month with the lowest activity (July):
variable costs = ($5,280 - $4,680) / (17,400 - 14,400) = $600 / 3,000 = $0.20 per mile driven
fixed costs = $4,680 - (14,400 x $0.20) = $4,680 - $2,880 = $1,800
Jiminy’s Cricket Farm issued a 30-year, 6 percent semiannual bond three years ago. The bond currently sells for 93 percent of its face value. The company’s tax rate is 22 percent. a.

(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
a. What is the pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
6.46%b. What is the aftertax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
5.04%Explanation:
we must first determine the bond's yield to maturity:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2] = {30 + [(1,000 - 930)/60]} / [(1,000 + 930)/2] = 31.17 / 965 = 3.23% x 2 = 6.46%
after tax cost of debt = 6.46% x (1 - tax rate) = 6.46% x (1 - 22%) = 6.46% x 78% = 5.04%
Under the antiboycott law, U.S. companies are forbidden to participate in any unauthorized foreign boycott. Which situation brought about the antiboycott law in the U.S.?
Answer: The Boycott of Israel by the Arab League
Explanation:
The Arab League since 1948 has mandated that all it's members boycott any trade with Israel as well as boycotting any companies that are trading with Israel in protest of what they view as the formation of an illegal country on lands belonging to Palestine.
The United States seeing how this could affect Israel, passed some anti-boycott laws in the '70s amongst them the Export Administration Act (EAA) to ensure that its companies still traded with Israel.
Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $10,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retirement nest egg. She believes her IRA will grow at an annual rate of 8 percent, and she plans to leave it untouched until she retires at age 65. Ruby estimates that she will need $875,000 in her total retirement nest egg by the time she is 65 in order to have retirement income of $20,000 a year (she expects that Social Security will pay her an additional $15,000 a year). a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires? Use Exhibit 1-A. (Round FV factor to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?
the future value of Ruby's IRA = $10,000 x 21.725 (FV factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $217,250
b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal?
she needs to accumulate $875,000 - $217,250 = $657,750 during the next 40 years
the annual contribution = FV / FV annuity factor = $657,750 / 259.057 (FV annuity factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $2,539.02 per year
