On the Idaho Store worksheet, in the range B9:B16, use the Fill Series feature to enter interest rates beginning with 8.50%. Decrease the amounts by .50% ending with 5.00%. Format the rates as Percent Style with two decimal places and apply bold and center.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
To achieve this, a formular is entered to give a rate of 8.50% in B9 ; The formular could be :
Beginning rate - 0.50x
Where x = 1 in cell B9
The beginning rate = 8.50
Hence, the formula to be inputted :
=9.00 - 0.50*1
Kindly lock the beginning rate and decline rate by an absolute reference so it doesn't change as the fill handle is being dragged down
In cell B9 :
9.00% - 0.50%*1 = 8.50%
B10:
9.00% - 0.50%*2 = 8.00%
... B16 :
9.00% - 0.50%*8 = 5.00%
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 standards for product V28 call for 8.3 pounds of a raw material that costs $19.00 per pound. Last month, 2,200 pounds of the raw material were purchased for $41,360. The actual output of the month was 240 units of product V28. A total of 2,100 pounds of the raw material were used to produce this output.
The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
Required:
a. What is the materials price variance for the month?
b. What is the materials quantity variance for the month?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (19 - 18.8)*2,200
Direct material price variance= $440 favorable
Actual price= 41,360 / 2,200= $18.8
Now, we can determine the direct material quantity variance:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8.3*240 - 2,100)*19
Direct material quantity variance= $2,052 unfavorable

b. Calculate the net present value of the new hotel using the present value of an annuity of $1 table above.
c. Does your analysis support the purchase of the new hotel?
Answer:
a. Net cash flows
Depreciation has to be added back to income because it is a non-cash expense.
Depreciation = (Cost - Residual value)/ Useful life
= 22,400,000 / 8
= $2,800,000
Net cash flows = Revenue - Expenses + Depreciation
= 16,688,000 - 14,000,000 + 2,800,000
= $5,488,000
b. Net Present Value
= Present value of cash inflows - Construction cost
= (Net cash flows * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, 12%) - 22,400,000
= (5,488,000 * 4.96764) - 22,400,000
= $4,862,408.32
c. Analysis SUPPORTS PURCHASE of hotel because it results in a positive Net Present Value.
Bramble Corp. recorded operating data for its shoe division for the year. Sales $2000000 Contribution margin 440000 Controllable fixed costs 180000 Average total operating assets 880000 How much is controllable margin for the year? 22% 50% $260000 $440000
Answer: 260000
Explanation:
The controllable margin for the year will be calculated thus:
Contribution margin = 440000
Less: Controllable Fixed Costs = 180000
Controllable margin will now be:
= 440,000 - 180,000
= 260,000
Therefore, the controllable margin will be 260000
Microbiotics currently sells all of its frozen dinners cash-on-delivery but believes it can increase sales by offering supermarkets 1 month of free credit. The price per carton is $100, and the cost per carton is $65. The unit sales will increase from 1,050 cartons to 1,110 per month if credit is granted. Assume all customers pay their bills and take full advantage of any credit period offered.
a. If the interest rate is 1% per month what will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis if credit is offered to all customers?
b. If the interest rate is 1.5% per month v/hat will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis if credit is offered to all customers?
c. Assume the interest rate is 1 5% per month but the firm can offer the credit only as a special deal to new customers, while existing customers will continue to pay cash on delivery. What will be the change in the firm's total monthly profits on a present value basis under these conditions?
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given question:
Explanation:
[tex]\text{Present value of profit} = ( Revenue - cost ) \times Unit\ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\$100 - \$65 ) \times 1,050\\\\= (\$35 ) \times 1,050\\\\= \$36,750[/tex]
For point a:
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\frac{\$100}{ (1 + .01)} - \$65) \times 1,110\\\\= (\frac{\$100}{ (1 .01)} - \$65) \times 1,110\\\\= (99.0 -65) \times 1,110\\\\= 34\times 1,110\\\\= \$37,740\\[/tex]
Changes in monthly profits:
[tex]= \$37,740 - \$36,570 = \$1,170[/tex]
At 1%, the credit offer raises the company's earnings for one month.
For point b:
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]=(\frac{\$100}{(1 + .015)} -\$65) \times 1,110\\\\=(\frac{\$100}{(1.015)} -\$65) \times 1,110\\\\=33.52\times 1,110\\\\= 37,207.2[/tex]
Changes in monthly profits:
[tex]= \$37,207.2- \$36,570 = $637.2.[/tex]
At 1.5%, the loan offering raises the company's earnings for one month.
For point c:
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\$100 - \$65 ) \times 60\\\\ = \$2,100[/tex]
[tex]\text{PV of profits} = PV(REV -COST) \times Units \ sold[/tex]
[tex]= (\frac{\$100}{(1 + .015)} - \$65) \times 60\\\\= (\frac{\$100}{(1.015)} - \$65) \times 60\\\\=33.52 \times 60\\\\= 2011.2[/tex]
Changes in monthly profits:
[tex]= \$2,011.2 -\$2,100 = \$88.8[/tex]
At a cost of 1.5%, the credit rates decrease the company's income for one month.

A portfolio manager buys $1 million of U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 90 days at a price of $990,390 and discount rate of 3.8%. The portfolio also includes the following investments: Bank commercial paper maturing in 90 days with a bond equivalent yield of 4.34% and a market value of $100,000. Bank certificates of deposit maturing in six months with a bond equivalent yield of 4.84% and a market value of $200,000. The bond-equivalent yield of a comparable benchmark portfolio is 4.0%. Including the Treasury bill purchase, the manager's portfolio is:
Answer:
A. Outperforming the benchmark
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the manager's portfolio
First step is to calculate the Treasury bill, bond-equivalent yield for U.S.
Using this formula
Treasury bill
=(Face value − Market value) / Market value × 365 / 90
Let plug in the formula
Treasury bill= ($1,000,000 − 990,390) / 990,390 × 365 / 90
Treasury bill=0.0097 × 0.04056
Treasury bill= 3.93%.
Second step is to calculate The total market value of the portfolio
Total market value portfolio=$990,390 + $100,000 + $200,000
Total market value portfolio= $1,290,390
Now let calculate the manager's portfolio
Manager's portfolio=3.93% ($990,390 / $1,290,390) + 4.34% ($100,000 / $1,290,390) + 4.84% ($200,000 / $1,290,390)
Manager's portfolio=3.93%(76.75%)+4.34%(7.75%)+4.84%(15.50%)
Manager's portfolio=0.0410*100
Manager's portfolio= 4.10%
Therefore Based on the above calculation the manager's portfolio is 4.10% OUTPERFORMING THE BENCHMARK because the manager's portfolio of 4.10% is higher than bond-equivalent yield benchmark portfolio of 4.0%.
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.
The sales volume variance is the difference between the: A. static budget (based on planned volume) and actual revenue or cost. B. flexible budget (based on actual volume) and actual revenue or cost. C. static budget (based on actual volume) and the flexible budget (based on planned volume). D. static budget (based on planned volume) and the flexible budget (based on actual volume).
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: static budget (based on planned volume) and actual revenue or cost.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Sales volume variance" refers to a method used in the business and accounting field with the main purpose of obtaining the comparison between the planned sales and the actual sales. It does it by stating that the difference between those two multiply by the budget price of the product will result in the variance itself. The goal of this method is to measure the sales performance and to see if there are no mathces with the expected revenues then the company has to take a lead and do something about it.
Sunland Company had the following department data: Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0 Completed and transferred out 90900 Work in process, ending 7800 Materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total number of equivalent units for materials during the period?
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Physical Units Work in process, beginning 0
Completed and transferred out 90,900
Work in process, ending 7,800
Materials are added at the beginning of the process.
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 0 + 90,900 + 7,800*1
Equivalent units of production= 98,700
Because the materials are added at the beginning of the process, the percentage of completion is 100%.
Tony has been sent to sales training and the final examination requires delivering an effective sales presentation. If he passes this examination, he will be placed into a sales job. If he does not pass, he will be let go from the company. In assessing Tony’s performance, the trainer remarks that although his talk was solid as far as content, he did not pass. The trainer fails to mention that the talk lacked several elements of excellence. Tony’s presentation graphics were inconsistent, he mumbled, and he failed to answer any of the follow-up questions. Tony throws the evaluation at the trainer, shouting, "Whatever, dude!" and slams the door on the way out. The trainer’s failure to discuss these aspects of Tony’s presentation performance demonstrated a lack of attention to which form of fairness or justice?
Answer: interactional
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the trainer’s failure to discuss these aspects of Tony’s presentation performance demonstrated a lack of attention to the interactional justice.
Interactional Justice involves the communication of the procedures that are used in judging the performance of a person. It focuses on the treatment that individuals get when there are implementation of certain procedures. This standard is utilized by the employees at work.
In this scenario, the trainer failed to interact with Tony as he didn't explain his flaws to him and didn't tell him the reason that he wasn't chosen. Thereby, the trainer didn't pay attention to interactional fairness.

Joel is the sole shareholder of Manatee Corporation, a C corporation. Because Manatee’s sales have increased significantly over the last several years, Joel has determined that the corporation needs a new distribution warehouse. Joel has asked your advice as to whether (1) Manatee should purchase the warehouse or (2) he should purchase the warehouse and lease it to Manatee. What relevant tax issues will you discuss with Joel?
Answer:
If Joel purchases the warehouse, he can rent it to the corporation and charge the highest possible rent within reasonable terms. Joel can avoid double taxation and the corporation will be able to deduct rent expense.
Joel is also able to deduct depreciation expenses, real estate taxes, and other costs from his passive income.
As an individual, Joel is taxed differently for capital gains in case he sells the warehouse, and that rate is generally lower than corporate tax rates.

What is the value of disposable income?
Answer:
The value of disposable income is $4,207
Explanation:
Dispossable income refers to the addition of income of an individual minus his taxes.
Therefore, the value of the value of disposable income can be calculated as follows:
Disposable income = Proprietors income + Compensation of employees + Rental income + Net interest + Transfer payments - Social insurance taxes - Personal taxes = $150 + $4,080 + $31 + $147 + $66 - $222 - $45 = $4,207
Therefore, the value of disposable income is $4,207.
27. If your company purchases land and a building for $100,000, and it intends to tear down the existing building to allow construction of a new warehouse, the purchase price should be allocated to the following accounts: A) $100,000 to the Construction Expense account B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account C) Prorated to the Land account and Building account based on the appraised values of each. D) $100,000 to the Building account and $0 to the Land account
Answer:
The correct option is B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account.
Explanation:
Originally, the $100,000 paid is for both land and a buildling. There would have been a need to prorate the $100,000 to the Land account and Building account based on the appraised values of each if the existing building was not tore down.
However, since the existing building was tore sown, that indicates the building was of no use to the company and only land is useful. This indicates that the $100,000 is paid for the land alone.
Therefore, the correct option is B) $100,000 to the Land account and $0 to the Building account.

In a town with exactly 1,000 residents, 60 percent of the residents make healthy choices and 40 percent of the residents consistently make unhealthy choices. The health insurance company in town cannot tell, in advance, who is healthy and who is unhealthy. A healthy person has an average of $600 in medical expenses each year and is willing to pay $800 for insurance. An unhealthy person has an average of $2,100 in medical expenses each year and is willing to pay $2,400 for insurance. The health insurance provider can offer insurance at only one price.
Required:
In equilibrium, the price of insurance will be at least what?
At the equilibrium, the price of insurance should be equal to at least $2,100.
What is equilibrium?Equilibrium is the scenario where the economic factors are in an equal position. There is no factor that rises above the equilibrium point or falls below the equilibrium point.
Given information:
The average expense of a healthy person is $600 and the average expense of an unhealthy person is $2,100. Every person is interested to buy insurance are from $0 to $800, the unhealthy people would buy the insurance from $800 to $2,400, and lastly, No one would take up the insurance lies over and above $2,400
Computation of expected payment received to the company:
[tex]\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received = \rm\ Average \rm\ expense \rm\ of \rm\ a \rm\ healthy \rm\ person \times\ 60 \% \\+ \rm\ Average \rm\ expense \rm\ of \rm\ an \rm\ unhealthy \rm\ person \times\ 40 \%\\\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received =\$ 600 \times\ 60 \% + \$ 2,100 \times\ 40 \%\\\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received =\$ 360 + \$ $840\\\rm\ Expected \rm\ payout \rm\ received = \$1,200[/tex]
Now if an insurance company charges less than $1,200, it will incur a loss to the company, if it charges $1,200, then no one will acquire the insurance, and more than $1,200, cannot be charged by the company.
Therefore, the price of insurance at equilibrium is $2,100 equivalent to the last amount of expense paid to the person for the insurance.

Employers have some control over and adjust them in order to compensate for the danger or unpleasantness of a job and help contribute to certain types of market failure. Not all markets are perfectly competitive, due to the presence of , which advocates for better salaries and working conditions on behalf of their members.
Answer:
Because of the existence of certain types of market failure, employers can still engage in DISCRIMINATION and not necessarily lose profits.
Due to the existence of market failures like asymmetric information held by the employers, they can be able to discriminate in the wages they pay to employees such that they do not lose profit.
As an individual allocates their time, they face a trade-off between LEISURE and work.
An individual spends their time between leisure and work and they need to find a trade-off between the two that they are comfortable with because more hours allocated to one means less hours to the other.
Employers have some control over WAGES and adjust them in order to compensate for the danger or unpleasantness of a job and help contribute to certain types of market failure.
As a result of employers adjusting wages to suit the job characteristics or to entice employees, the job can contribute to market failure if the wages being paid are simply too high for that position.
Not all markets are perfectly competitive, due to the presence of UNIONS, which advocates for better salaries and working conditions on behalf of their members.
Unions campaign for their members to get better salaries and working conditions which might not be representative of the contribution of the job which leads to a situation where the market is no longer competitive because the tradeoff is not balanced.

Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
a. Cost of equity after the refinancing = 22.31%
b. Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = 12.66%
c. Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 4.48
d. Stock price after the refinancing = $51.99
e. Stock’s beta after the refinancing = 2.52
Explanation:
Given:
Beta = 0.70
PE ratio = Price-earnings ratio = 7.90
Ke = Cost of equity = 12.66%
MPS = Market price per share = $52
Debt rate = 3%
Let assume that the company’s total number of shares outstanding is 1,000. Therefore, we have:
Equity market value = MPS * Number of shares = $52 * 1,000 = $52,000
By repurchasing half shares and substituting an equal value of debt, we have:
Debt = Equity market value / 2 = $52,000 / 2 = $26,000
Interest on debt = Debt * Debt rate = $26,000 * 3% = $780
Old EPS = MPS / PE ratio = $52 / 7.90 = $6.58 per share
Net income = Old EPS * Number of shares = $6.58 * 1,000 = $6,580
Earnings available to shareholders = Net income – Interest on debt = $6,580 – 780 = $5,800
New number of shares = 500
New EPS = Earnings available to shareholders / New number of shares = $5,800 / 500 = $11.60 per share
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate the cost of equity after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of equity after the refinancing = New EPS / MPS = $11.60 / $52 = 0.2231, or 22.31%
b. Calculate the overall cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing. (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of capital (WACC) after the refinancing = (Weight of debt * Cost of debt) + (Weight of equity * New cost of equity) = (50% * 3%) + (50% * 22.31%) = 12.66%
c. Calculate the price-earnings ratio after the refinancing. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing = 1 / Cost of equity after the refinancing = 1 / 22.31% = 4.48
d. Calculate the stock price after the refinancing.
Stock price after the refinancing = Price-earnings ratio after the refinancing * New EPS = $11.60 * 4.48 = $51.99
e. Calculate the stock’s beta after the refinancing. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Stock’s beta after the refinancing = (Cost of equity after the refinancing – Cost of debt) / (WACC – Cost of debt) = (0.2231 - 0.03) / (0.1266 - 0.05) = 2.52
An auto repair shop orders cleaning rags in batches of 120 boxes. This inventory is depleted at a constant rate and new rags are ordered to arrive exactly when the on-hand inventory of rags reaches zero boxes. What is the average inventory level over time
Answer:
60

= (120 +0) ÷ 2
= 60
Hence, the average inventory level over time is 60
The same would be considered and relevant
Basically we take an average of it to determine the average inventory level
Think of a business concept that would be appropriate for each of the following:
1) a sole proprietorship
2) a corporation
3) a limited liability company
In your answer address the pros and cons of the business type (sole proprietorship, Corporation, LLC) and why you the believe the business concept you choose best suits that business type. You must list at least 3 pros and 3 cons for each business type.
Answer:
Sole Proprietorship: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of business would be a roadside Fruit Juice Processing business. This involves different blends of organic fruits being blended into one smooth syrup sometimes called a smoothie.This type of business is better registered under a Sole Proprietorship because, it is almost always carried out by those who are self-employed.
Pros:
It is easy to set up and has low operational and corporate costIt enjoys zero corporate business taxesthey are not required to submit annual filingsCons:
The liability is unlimited and unrestricted. This means if there is litigation against the business, the business owner if found culpable will have to defray all amounts due even with his or her personal assets if the business is unable to meet that obligationThis type of business structure will find it difficult to raise money due to the potential liability exposure Also the sole proprietor may be unable to take on business debt
2. A Limited Liability Corporation: The business concept that would be suitable for this type of entity is a Fast Food Franchise like Tastee Fried Chicken. This sort of business will involve processing chicken and other kinds of foods into wholesome dishes.
