= 5 year + 0.155
= 5.155 year
A company normally sells it products for $20 per unit, which includes a profit margin of 25%. However, the
selling price has fallen to $15 per unit. This company's current inventory consists 200 units purchased at $16
per unit. Replacement cost has now fallen to $13 per unit. Calculate the value of inventory at the lower of
cost or market.
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory value is shown below:
Market value = 200 units × $16
= $3,200
And, the cost is
= 200 units × $13
= $2,600
So the lower of cost or market value would be considered
Since $2,600 would be lower so the same would be equivalent to the inventory amount
When Volvo runs ads suggesting that its cars are the safest that money can buy, it is trying to ________. A) segment the market B) provide a service C) enter a new market D) develop brand loyalty E) position its brand
Chris Ellis newsstand, just outside the Smithsonian subway station in Washington, DC, usually sells 120 copies of the Washington Post each day. Chris believes the sale of the Post is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 15 papers. He pays 60 cents for each paper, which sells for $1.25. The Post gives him a 30-cent credit for each unsold paper. According to this given information optimal stocking out probability is:_______
Answer:
31.58%
Explanation:
We have the following information
Daily number = 120
Standard deviation = 15
Amount paid = 60 cents = 0.60dollars
What he gets for the unsold = 0.30 dollars
Undercoverage = Cu = 1.25-0.60 = 0.65
Over coverage = Co = 0.60 - 0.30 = 0.30
In stock probability = Cu/Cu + Co
= 0.65/0.65+0.30
= 0.65/0.95
= 0.6842
The optimal stocking out probability = 1- 0.6842
= 0.3158
= 31.58%
Suppose the price is $6 per sheet of plywood. Suppose the price falls to $4 per sheet of plywood.How much of the increase in consumer surplus was additional consumer surplus for the people who would have bought plywood at $6 anyway.
Answer:
"$2,500" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:
The question given seems to be incomplete. Below there is a attachment of full question is provided.
The given values are:
Plywood's price,
= $6 per sheet
Price falls,
= $4
Now,
At price $6, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times (10-6)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]2,000[/tex] ($)
When price falls, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times (10-4)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times 6[/tex]
= [tex]4,500[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The increase in consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]4500-2000[/tex]
= [tex]2,500[/tex] ($)

A Rhode Island company produces communion wafers for churches around the country and the world. The little company produces a lot of wafers, several hundred million per year. When in production, the process produces wafers at the rate of 48 per second. During this production process the wafers must spend 5 minutes in an oven and then 10 minutes passing through a cooling tunnel.
Required:
How many wafers does the cooling tube hold on average when in production?
Answer: 28,800 wafers
Explanation:
Number of wafers held on average in cooling tube during production:
= Rate of production for one wafer * Time in cooling tube
= 48 seconds * (10 minutes * 60 secs)
= 48 * 600
= 28,800 wafers

Pension data for Coda Corporation included the following for the current calendar year: Service cost $ 112,000 PBO, January 1 810,000 Plan assets, January 1 860,000 Amortization of prior service cost 6,600 Amortization of net loss 2,600 Discount rate, 8% Expected return on plan assets, 10% Actual return on plan assets, 12% Required: Determine pension expense for the year. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
Pension expense $100,000
Explanation:
The computation of the pension expense for the year is shown below:
Service cost $112,000
Interest cost $64,800 ($810,000 × 8%)
Amortization of prior service cost $6,600
Amortization of net loss $2,600
Less: Expected return on plan assets -$86,000 ($860,000 × 10%)
Pension expense $100,000
Vince says that the present value of $500 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 8 percent is more than the present value of $500 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 4 percent. Terri says that $500 saved for two years at an interest rate of 3 percent has a larger future value than $500 saved for one years at an interest rate of 6 percent. a. Both Vince and Terri are correct. b. Only Vince is correct. c. Only Terri is correct. d. Neither Vince nor Terri is correct.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
To determine if Vince is right, we have to determine the present value of the amounts
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value of $500 to be received one year from today500 / 1.08 = $462.96
Present value of $500 to be received two years from today500 / (1.04^2) = $462.28
$462.96 > $462.28 Vince is right
To determine if Terri is right, we have to determine the future value of the amounts
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
500 x (1.03)^2 = $530.45
500 x (1.06) = $530
$530.45 > $530 Terri is right
they are both correct

A monopolistic competitor wishing to maximize profit will select a quantity where marginal cost equals demand. marginal revenue equals marginal cost. marginal cost equals average cost. marginal revenue equals average cost. If a firm is producing a quantity where marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs, the firm should existing levels of production in order to
Answer:
marginal revenue equals marginal cost.expand; increase profitabilityExplanation:
A monopoly would seek to maximize its profit at a point where marginal revenue will equal marginal cost because at this point, resources are being fully and efficiently utilized. If more cost was incurred to produce then marginal cost would exceed marginal revenue and lead to losses.
The same goes for the firm producing at a quantity where marginal revenue is larger than marginal cost. They should expand their production levels so that their marginal cost equals marginal revenue as this will increase profitability.
You are evaluating investments in U.S. equities and Mexican equities. Your stock analysts anticipate that U.S. equities will appreciate 9% over the next year. Mexican equities are expected to rise by 15%. Your foreign exchange analyst expects the exchange rate for Mexican pesos, MP, to change from $0.14286/MP to $0.142015/MP. In U.S. dollar terms, what rate of return do you expect to earn on your Mexican equity investment
Answer:
14.32%
Explanation:
We have the investment sum of 100 dollars
We convert to mexican pesos
100x0.14286
= 700 MP
700 mexican pesos invested on equities gets 25% return
Redeemable amount after a year = 700 x (1+15%)
= 805
After a year money gotten back in dollars
805 x 0.142015
= 114.32 dollars
Net return = 114.32 - 100 = 14.32
Expressed in percent = 14.32%
Suppose that Spain and Switzerland both produce beer and wine. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 brarrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that ____ has a comparative advantage int he production of wine and ___ has a comparative advantage in the production of beer.
Suppose that Spain and Switzerland consider trading wine and beer with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives mroe that ___ of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ___ of wine for each barrel of beer it exports to Spain.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the folloiwing terms of trade ( that is, price of wine in terms of beer) would allow both Switzerland and Spain to gain from trade?
a. 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
b. 3 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
c. 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
d. 18 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
Answer:
Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine. While, Switzerland has a comparative advantage in Beer.
Explanation:
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
Spain has a lower opportunity cost of producing wine. Thus, we can say that Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/4 barrels of wine while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine.
Switzerland has a lower opportunity cost of producing beer. Thus, we can say that Switzerland has a comparative advantage in producing beer.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer. Thus, it can import more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it produces and export to Switzerland. Thus, Spain can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland.
Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine. Thus, it can import more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it produces and export to Spain. Thus, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it exports to Spain.
The price of wine in terms of beer must be between 4 and 10. So it can be
either 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine or 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine.
At the beginning of 2021, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $2,950,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $670,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2021. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $228,000. During 2021, Terra logged 570,000 of the estimated 5.7 million board feet of timber. Required: Calculate the 2021 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets
Answer:
depletion of the timber tract = $228,000 and
depreciation of the logging roads = $22,800
Explanation:
Timber tract
Depletion rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated units
= ($2,950,000 - $670,000) ÷ 5,700,000
= $0.40
Depletion expense = Units used x Depletion rate
= 570,000 x $0.40
= $228,000
Logging Roads
Depreciation rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated units
= ($228,000 - $0) ÷ 5,700,000
= $0.04
Depreciation expense = Units used x Depreciation rate
= 570,000 x $0.04
= $22,800
The Carter Corporation makes products A and B in a joint process from a single input, R. During a typical production run, 50,000 units of R yield 20,000 units of A and 30,000 units of B at the split-off point. Joint production costs total $90,000 per production run. The unit selling price for A is $4.00 and for B is $3.80 at the split-off point. However, B can be processed further at a total cost of $60,000 and then sold for $7.00 per unit. In a decision between selling B at the split-off point or processing B further, which of the following items is not relevant:a. $10,000) per production run b. $96,000 per production run c. ($42,000) per production run d. $36,000 per production run
Answer: $54,000 per production run
Explanation:
As we are dealing with the decision of whether or not to process the good further, the irrelevant cost would be the cost of producing product B from input R.
This is because this cost has already been incurred to produce product B and so is a sunk cost. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the decision to process further.
30,000 units of B were made from 90,000 units R so the cost of B is:
= 30,000 / 50,000 * 90,000
= $54,000
The options here are probably for a variant of this question.
A coffee manufacturer is interested in whether the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers. A random sample of 50 regular-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 4.35 cups per day. A sample of 40 decaffeinated-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 5.12 cups per day. Assume the population standard deviation for those drinking regular coffee is 1.20 cups per day and 1.36 cups per day for those drinking decaffeinated coffee. Perform an appropriate test at the 1% level of significance. Use the critical value approach.Compute the p-value.
Answer:
The P-Value ≅0 (zero).
Explanation:
From the given data we have
Regular coffee drinkers sample size = n1 = 50
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample size = n2= 40
Regular coffee drinkers sample mean= x1 = 4.35
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers sample mean = x2= 5.12
Regular coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ1 = 1.2
Decaffeinated-coffee drinkers population standard deviation = σ2= 1.36
1) Formulate null and alternate hypothesis
H0: u1≥ u2 Ha: u1 < u2
The null hypothesis is that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is greater or equal to the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers
against the claim
the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.
2) The test statistic is
z= x1-x2/ sqrt( σ1 ²/n1 + σ2²/n2)
Putting the values
z = 4.35- 5.12/ sqrt( 1.44/50 + 1.8496/40)
z= -5.44
3) The significance level is 0.01
The critical region is Z < -2.33
4) Since the calculated value of z= -5.44 is less than the z ∝= -2.33 we reject H0.
5) the P-value can be calculated using the calculator.
The P-Value is < 0.00001.
P= 0
Which means that the claim is accepted that the mean of the regular coffee drinkers is less than the mean of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers.

On January 1, 2019, Lightfoot Corporation issues 10%, 5-year bonds with a face value of $275,000 when the effective interest rate is 9%. Interest is to be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Prepare calculations to prove that the selling price of the bonds is $285,880.07. Click here to access the tables to use with this exercise. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
Value of bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of maturity or par value
Present value of coupon payments:
Coupon is semi annual = 275,000 * 10% * 1/2
= $13,750
Interest = 9%/ 2 = 4.5%
Duration = 5 * 2 = 10 semi annual periods
Present value will be that of an annuity as this cash flow is fixed:
= 13,750 * (1 - (1 + 4.5%)⁻¹⁰) / 4.5%
= $108,799.87
Present value of par value:
= 275,000 / ( 1 + 4.5%)¹⁰
= 177,080.11
Value of bond:
= 108,799.87 + 177,080.11
= $285,879.98
= $285,880

Ivan Knobel holds a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. He is in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Syngine Corp at $10 a share and adding it to his portfolio. Syngine has an expected return of 13.0% and a beta of 1.50. The total value of Ivan's current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Syngine stock? a. 11.76%; 1.29 b. 10.64%; 1.17 c. 12.97%; 1.42 d. 12.35%; 1.36 e. 11.20%; 1.23
Answer:
e. 11.20%; 1.23
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return and the beta is shown below
For expected return
= ($10,000 ÷ ($10,000 + $90,000) × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= ($10,000 ÷ $100,000 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= (0.1 × 13%) + (0.9 × 11%)
= 11.20%
And, the beta is
= ($10,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.50) + ($90,000 ÷ 100,000 × 1.20 )
= 1.23
On December 1, 2021, Keenan Company, a U.S. firm, sold merchandise to Velez Company of Canada for 150,000 Canadian dollars (CAD). Collection of the receivable is due on February 1, 2022. Keenan purchased a foreign currency put option with a strike price of $0.97 (U.S.) on December 1, 2021. This foreign currency option is designated as a cash flow hedge. Relevant exchange rates follow:
Date Spot Rate Option Premium

31-Dec-18 $0.95 $0.04
1-Feb-19 $0.94 $0.03
Required:
Compute the fair value of the foreign currency option at February 1.
Answer:
Keenan Company (U.S.) and Velez Company (Canada)
The fair value of the foreign currency option at February 1 = $4,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of merchandise sold to Velez Company = CAD 150,000
Collection date of the receivable = February 1, 2022
Strike price of foreign currency put option purchased by Keenan = US$0.97
Relevant exchange rates follow:
Date Spot Rate Option Premium
1-Dec-21 $0.97 $0.05
31-Dec-21 $0.95 $0.04
1-Feb-22 $0.94 $0.03
The fair value of the option is based on the the change that has occurred in the Spot Rates from December 1, 2021 to February = $0.03 ($0.97 - $0.94)
Therefore, the fair value = 150,000 * $0.03 = $4,500
