I lead the Customer Support Team for the magazines category. Customer questions for one shipping vendor have increased since the beginning of the promotional campaign. The campaign ended two months ago, but we are still getting a large number of questions. Can you help us understand the cause
Answer:
The below is the influence of each factor on client inquiries, according to the customer support team:
1. The transportation demand is excessive.
2. The number of faulty items has increased.
3. There are far too many goods that aren't delivered on time.
4. There aren't enough items for sale.
For one thing, because it's a seasonal product shipping, the number of shipments is fairly large. The quantity of items sent also shows this.
For 2: Due to the huge amount of shipments, the most common customer concern is receiving wrong items.

Hodgkiss Mfg., Inc., is currently operating at only 95 percent of fixed asset capacity. Current sales are $800,000. Fixed assets are $480,000 and sales are projected to grow to $890,000. How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales
Answer:
$4,292,699.99
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales
Full capacity sales = $800,000/0.95 = $842,105.26
Capital intensity ratio = $480,000/ $842,105.26 = 0.57000000
Fixed asset need = ($890,000 × 0.57000000) - $480,000 = $4,292,699.99
The text identifies three methods for estimating the cost of common stock from reinvested earnings (not newly issued stock): the CAPM method, the dividend growth method, and the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method. However, only the CAPM method always provides an accurate and reliable estimate. True False
Answer:
False.
It is not only the CAPM method that always provides an accurate and reliable estimate. The three methods look at the same issue from three different angles.
Explanation:
Despite their individual limitations, the methods have been found to provide some guidance to investors. The CAPM limitation lies in its use of historical data. The dividend growth method cannot be applicable to all firms, as it applies only to firms that pay dividend. Finally, the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method suffers from the many unsubstantiated assumptions underlying it.
A company wants to generate a forecast for unit demand for year 2018 using exponential smoothing. The actual demand in year 2017 was 120. The forecast demand in year 2017 was 110. Using this data and a smoothing constant alpha of 0.1. What is the resulting year 2018 forecast value?
Answer:
111
Explanation:
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = (Alpha*Actual demand in 2017) + ((1 - Alpha)*Forecast demand for 2017: Where Alpha = 0.1, Actual demand in 2017 = 120 and Forecast for 2017 = 110
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = (0.1 * 120) + ( (1 - 0.1) * 110)
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = (0.1 * 120) + (0.9 * 110)
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = 12 + 99
Exponential Smoothing forecast for 2018 = 111

Oakwood Inc. manufactures end tables, armchairs, and other wood furniture products from high-quality materials. The company uses a standard costing system and isolates variances as soon as possible. The purchasing manager is responsible for controlling direct material price variances, and production managers are responsible for controlling usage variances. During November, the following results were reported for the production of American Oak armchairs:
Units produced 1,670 armchairs
Direct materials purchased 18,500 board feet
Direct materials issued into production 17,250 board feet
Standard cost per unit
(22 board feet × $7.2) $158.4 per unit produced
Purchase price variance $2,620 unfavorable
Required:
a. Calculate the actual price paid per board foot purchased.
b. Calculate the standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced.
c. Calculate the direct materials usage variance. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
Oakwood Inc.
a) The actual price paid per board foot purchased is:
= $7.34
b) The standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced is:
= 36,740 board feet
c) The direct materials usage variance is:
= $140,328 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
i) Reported production of American Oak Armchairs:
Units produced = 1,670 armchairs
Direct materials purchased = 18,500 board feet
Direct materials issued into production = 17,250 board feet
ii) Standard cost per unit
(22 board feet × $7.2) $158.4 per unit produced
Purchase price variance $2,620
a) The actual price paid per board foot purchased
= Standard cost per board feet + (Purchase price variance/Quantity purchased)
= $7.20 + ($2,620/18,500)
= $7.20 + $0.14
= $7.34
b) The standard quantity of materials allowed (in board feet) for the number of units produced
= 22 * 1,670
= 36,740 board feet
c) The direct materials usage variance = (Standard Qty - Actual Qty) * Standard price per board feet
= (36,740 - 17,250) * $7.20
= $140,328 F
Installing an automated production system costing $300,000 is initially expected to save Zia Corporation $52,000 in expenses annually. If the system needs $7,500 in operating and maintenance costs each year and has a salvage value of $30,000 at year 10, what is the IRR of this system
Answer:
8.87%
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 with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $52,000 - $7,500 = $44500
Cash flow in year 10 = $44500 + $30,000 = $74500
IRR = 8.87%
To determine the value of 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.
If variances are recorded in the accounts at the time the manufacturing costs are incurred, what does a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represent?
Answer:
unfavorable variance
Explanation:
In such situation, a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represents
unfavorable variance. This is an accounting term that explains situations when the actual cost of the project is higher than the standard or projected cost.
It means that the actual price at which the materials are bought is higher than the standard price / budgeted price / estimated price and therefore, more amount has to be paid than expected.
Lingadalli Corporation (PLC) is considering an IPO. LC has 12 million shares of common stock owned by its founder and early investors. LC has no preferred stock, debt, or short-term investments. Based on its free cash flow projection, LC's intrinsic value of operations is $210 million. LC wants to raise $30 million (net of flotation costs) in net proceeds. The investment bank charges a 7% underwriting spread. All other costs associated with the IPO are small enough to be neglected in this analysis and all shares sold in the IPO will be newly issued shares. Answer the following questions. Inputs Value of operations (VPre-IPO) $210 million Number of existing shares (Existing) 12 million Target net proceeds $30 million Flotation costs (F) 7% a. What is the intrinsic stock price per share before the IPO
Answer:
$ 17.50
Explanation:
The intrinsic stock price per share before the IPO can be determined using the company's details before the IPO, in other words, the intrinsic value per share before the initial public offer is the pre-IPO value of the company divided by its number of existing shares which is computed thus:
intrinsic stock price per share before the IPO=LC's intrinsic value of operations/Number of existing shares
LC's intrinsic value of operations= $210 million
Number of existing shares= 12 million
intrinsic stock price per share before the IPO=$210 million/12 million
intrinsic stock price per share before the IPO=$ 17.50

Perdue Company purchased equipment on October 1 for $55,060. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 7,600 operating hours, and a residual value of $1,860. The equipment was used for 1,400 hours during Year 1, 2,700 hours in Year 2, 2,300 hours in Year 3, and 1,200 hours in Year 4.
Required:
Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) units-of-output method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
$13,300 for each of the four years
Unit of output
$9800
$18900
$16100
$8400
double declining
27530
13765
6882.5
3441.25
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $55,060 - $1,860) / 4 = $13,300 each year
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
( $55,060 - $1,860) / 7600 = 7
year 1 = 7 x 1400 = 9800
year 2 = 7 x 2700 = $18900
year 3 = 7 x 2300 = $16100
year 4 = 7 x 1200 = $8400
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 0.5
Year 1 = $55,060 x 0.5 = 27530
book value = $55,060 - 27530 = 27530
year 2 = 27530 x 0.5 = 13765
book value = 27530 - 13765 = 13765
year 3 = 13765 x 0.5 = 6882.50

BR Company has a contribution margin of 18%. Sales are $423,000, net operating income is $76,140, and average operating assets are $131,000. What is the company's return on investment (ROI)
Answer:
58.12%
Explanation:
Return on investment = Net operating income / Average operating assets
Return on investment = $76,140 / $131,000
Return on investment = 0.5812214
Return on investment = 58.12%
So, the company's return on investment (ROI) is 58.12%.
Consider the following independent situations:
1. Mike Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $289,664 and has a guaranteed interest rate of 10% per year.
How many years must Mike leave that balance in the fund in order to get his desired $1,000,000?
2. Assume that Sally Williams desires to accumulate $1 million in 18 years using her money market fund balance of $250,249.
At what interest rate must Sally's investment compound annually?
Answer:
a. Number of years = 13 years
b. Interest rate = 8%
Explanation:
a. Present value = $289664
Interest rate = 10%
Future value = $1000000
Future Value = Present Value (1 + r)^n
1000000 = 289664 (1 + 10%)^n
(1 + 10%)^n = 1000000 / 289664
(1 + 10%)^n = 3.45227
(1.10)^n = 3.45227
Now solve for the n by taking ln both side.
So, n = 13
Thus, number of years = 13 years
b. Future value = 1000000
Present value = 250249
Time = 18 years
Future Value = Present Value (1 + r)^n
1000000 = 250249 (1 + r)^18
(1 + r)^18 = 1000000 / 250249
(1 + r)^18 = 3.99602
Now solve for the value of r.
Thus, r = 8%
Interest rate = 8%
For which of the following random variables would the use of a Normal distribution as a model be a clear error?
a) The number of houses that an individual owns
b) The number of minutes that a battery lasts in a cell phone
c) Student test scores on an exam
d) The daily percentage change on a stock
Answer:
A. The number of houses that an individual owns
Explanation:
The use of normal distribution in option A would produce an error. That is the number of houses individuals own.
We know that people can own 1 house or more than 1 house or no house at all. But a person can never be said to have less than 0 houses.
Option a is going to be skewed positively. Using Normal distribution would give us an error.

Answer:
What language is this?
Explanation:
XYZ Company manufactures several different products. Unit costs associated with Product ABC are as follows: Direct materials $87 Direct manufacturing labor 42 Variable manufacturing overhead 26 Fixed manufacturing overhead 35 Sales commissions (2% of sales) 16 Administrative salaries 19 Total $225 The percentage of the total variable costs per unit associated with Product ABC with respect to total cost is closest to
Answer:
76%
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit = Direct material + Direct manufacturing labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + sales commission
Variable cost per unit = $87 + $42 + $26 + $16
Variable cost per unit = $171
Total cost per unit = $225
% variable cost per unit to Total cost per unit = Variable cost per unit / Total cost per unit = $171 / $225 = 0.76 = 76%
So, the percentage of the total variable costs per unit associated with Product ABC with respect to total cost is closest to 76%.
A restaurant chain sponsors a charity that provides support to the parents of children being treated for cancer. How would the use of company funds for this purpose be justified by a business whose goal is to maximize profit
Answer: The money spent is worth the boost it gives to the corporate image
Explanation:
Corporate social responsibility gives companies a good image and can help a company improve its brand and revenue.
Since the restaurant chain sponsors a charity that provides support to the parents of children being treated for cancer, the use of the funds of the company will be justified when the money that's spent is worth the boost it gives to the corporate image.
Margaret has a portfolio consisting of a risk-free asset and a stock with a beta of 1.5. If she wishes to lower the overall beta of her portfolio Margaret could _____ the portfolio weight of the risk-free asset and _____ the portfolio weight of the stock.
A) increase; increase
B) increase; decrease
C) decrease; increase
D) decrease; decrease
E) increase; not change
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Beta measures systemic risk
Systemic risk are risk that are inherent in the economy. They cannot be diversified away. They are also known as market risk. examples of this risk include recession, inflation, and high interest rates.
The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
the beta of a risk free asset is 1
If she wants to decrease the beta of her portfolio, she would want to decrease the riskiness of her portfolio. to do this, she should increase the weight of the risk-free asset and decrease the weight of the risky asset (stock)
Shin Corporation had a projected benefit obligation of $3,100,000 and plan assets of $3,300,000 at January 1, 2020. Shin also had a net actuarial loss of $465,000 in accumulated OCI at January 1, 2020. The average remaining service period of Shin's employees is 7.5 years. Compute Shin's minimum amortization of the actuarial loss.
Answer:
$18,000
Explanation:
Projected benefit obligation = $3,100,000
Plan assets = $3,300,000
Corridor amount = Plan assets * Corridor percentage
Corridor amount = $3,300,000 * 10%
Corridor amount = $330,000
Accumulated loss = $465,000
Excess loss subject to amortization = $465,000 - $330,000
Excess loss subject to amortization = $135,000
Amortized to pension expense = Excess loss subject to amortization / Average remaining service
Amortized to pension expense = $135,000 / 7.5 years
Amortized to pension expense = $18,000
A farm grows soybean and produces chickens. The opportunity cost of producing each of these products increases as more of it is produced. Draw the farm's PPF. Label it PPF0
The farm adopts a new technology which allows it to use fewer resources to fatten chickens. Draw a PPF that illustrates the impact of the new technology. Label it PPF1
With the new technology, the opportunity cost of producing a bushel of soybean -blank- because -blank- must be forgone to produce a bushel of soybeans.
A. increase; more chickens
B. decreases; more chickens
C. decreases; fewer chickens
D. increases; fewer chickens
E. Does not change; the same number of chickens.
Answer:
The answer is "Increases; more chickens".
Explanation:
New technology personal capabilities chickens resources This means that more chickens may now be raised with the same inputs and the production of soybean would stay the same. The new PPF, therefore, shared perceptions along the horizontal axis of holes. Now, each unit made from soybeans will get more chances for chicken, as many chickens have to leave with one additional soybean.
When one option is chosen over another, opportunity cost is the profit that is lost. Simply said, the concept serves as a reminder to consider all viable options before making a decision.
Correct option is A. (increase; more chickens)
Capabilities of new technologies resource for chickens. This means that with the same inputs, more hens can be produced but soybean production remains same. Thus, along the horizontal axis of holes, the new PPF shared perceptions. Because many birds must now go with an additional soybean, each soybean-based unit will now have more possibilities foe chicken.

Suppose you had inside information that your employer was thinking about declaring bankruptcy, and you find out that a family member was about to purchase $20,000 in the stock of your employer. To what extent would it be unethical for you to dissuade the family member from making the investment
Answer: To the extent that Inside Information is not disclosed.
Explanation:
U.S. law prohibits people from being able to disclose inside information so if you pass on the information about the impending bankruptcy to a family member, you would be in violation of this law and if found out, will be punished accordingly.
If however, you advice your family member not to invest based on analysis of the company (of which you must keep detailed records of) using mosaic information which is public information, then you would not have used inside information so it would not be illegal.

Identify deficiencies in Wagner's participative budgetary policy for planning and performance evaluation purposes
Question Completion:
Behavioral Considerations and Budgeting Anthony Wagner, the controller in the Division of Transportation for the state, recognizes the im ance of the budgetary process for planning, control, and motivation purposes. He believes that properly implemented participative budgeting process for planning purposes and a management by exception reporting procedure based on that budget will motivate his subordinates to improve productivity within their particular departments. Based on this philosophy, Wagner has implemented the following budget procedures:
An appropriation target figure is given to each department manager. This amount is the maximum funding that each department can expect to receive in the next fiscal year Department managers develop their individual budgets within the following spending constraint as directed by the controller's staff:
1. Expenditure requests cannot exceed the appropriation target
2. All fixed expenditures should be included in the budget: these should include items such . . as contracts and salaries at current levels
3. All government projects directed by higher authority should be included in the budget in their entirety. The controller consolidates the departmental budget requests from the various departments into one budget that is to be submitted for the entire division. Upon final budget approval by the legislature, the controller's staff allocates the appropriation to the various departments on instructions from the division manager. However, a specified percentage of each department's appropriation is held back in anticipation of potential budget cuts and special funding needs. The amount and use of this contingency fund are left to the discretion of the division manager Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to appropriation level. However, as stated in the original directive, specific projects authorized b higher authority must remain intact. The final budget is used as the basis of control for a management by exception form of reporting. Excessive expenditures by account for each department are highlighted on a monthly basis. Department managers are expected to account for all expenditures over budget. Fiscal responsibility is an important factor in the overall performance evaluation of department managers .Each department is allowed to adjust its budget when necessary to operate within the reduced · Wagner believes that his policy of allowing the department managers to participate in the budget process and then holding them accountable for their performance is essential, e these times of limited resources.
Answer:
Deficiencies in Wagner's Participative Budgeting Policy
1. Fixed costs are not controllable by managers. This defeats, to a large extent, the idea of participative budgeting policy by Wagner as his departmental managers' performances are evaluated based on goals they have not set for themselves.
2. Wagner's participative budgetary policy allows him to revise some approved budgets arbitrarily without seeking the participation of divisional managers in the revision. This negatives the principle of participation.
Explanation:
An effective participating budgeting process ensures the utilization of specialist knowledge of the participants who are close to the daily operations of their departments. An effective process ensures the setting of more realistic and acceptable goals. A good participative budgetary policy wins managers' commitment, improves communication and accountability, and ensures group cohesiveness.
When a sales representative wishes to sell an exempt security to an out of state customer, which statement is TRUE?
Answer: A. Both the broker-dealer and the registered representative must be registered in the state where the sale of the exempt security is going to be made
Explanation:
When a sales representative wishes to sell an exempt security to an out of state customer, it should be noted that both the broker-dealer and the registered representative must be registered in the state where the sale of the exempt security is going to be made.
It should be noted that when though the exempt securities aren't typically registered under the Federal law and the State law, the broker-dealers along with the sales employees must be registered unde the state law where the security is being offered.
