Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Standard deviation=11.82%

Explanation:

Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks. Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company .

Standard deviation is the sum of the squared deviation of the individual return from the mean return under different scenarios

Expected return (r) = (30% × 0.25 ) + (15% × 0.65) + (-14%× 0.10)=15.8%

Outcome (R- r )^2 × P

Boom      (30%-15.8)^2× 0.25 = 50.05

Normal    (15%-15.8)^2×0.65 =   0.47

Bust       ( 13.6%- 15.8)^2 ×0.1=    89.10

                                                    139.63

Standard deviation =√139.63= 11.82%

Standard deviation=11.82%

What was the service cost for the year

Answers

Answer:

$45,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the service cost for the year

PBO, $113,000

Add benefits paid to retirees, $14,500

Less interest cost ($7,500)

Less Beginning PBO ($75,000)

($7,500/0.1)

Service cost $45,000

($113,000+$14,500-$7,500-$75,000)

Therefore the service cost for the year will be $45,000

Determine the balance on the job cost sheets for each job.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The balance on the job cost sheets for each job will be:

Job 765:

Direct materials = $6160

Direct labor = $1848

Overhead cost = 22 × $107 = $2354

Total job cost = $6160 + $1848 + $2354 = $10362

Job 766:

Direct materials = $13338

Direct labor = $4212

Overhead cost = 78 × $107 = $8346

Total job cost = $13338 + $4212 + $8346 = $25896

Poehling Medical Center has a single operating room that is used by local physicians to perform surgical procedures. The cost of using the operating room is accumulated by each patient procedure and includes the direct materials costs (drugs and medical devices), physician surgical time, and operating room overhead.

3. During January, the operating room was used 240 hours. The actual overhead costs incurred for January were $67,250. Determine the overhead under or over applied for the period.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total number of surgical room hours= (8*7)*52= 2,912 hours

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 756,000 / 2,912

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $259.61 per surgical room hour

Now, we can allocate costs using the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 259.61*5

Allocated MOH= $1,298.05

Finally, the under/over allocation for January:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Allocated overhead= 259.61*240= $62,306.4

Under/over applied overhead= 67,250 - 62,306.4

Underapplied overhead= $4,943.6

B inspect inputs and attributes of individual units of products or services to detect whether they conform to specifications or customer expectations. C. correct defective processes or products and services before they are delivered to customers. D. are activities required after defective products or services are delivered to customers.

Answers

Answer:

D. are activities required after defective products or services are delivered to customers.

Explanation:

Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.

Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.

The following activities are carried out in accordance with the Six Sigma model;

External failure activities are activities required after defective products or services are delivered to customers.

The other terminologies used in the manufacturing process includes;

- Prevention: seek to prevent defects in the products or services being produced.

- Appraisal: inspect inputs and attributes of individual units of products or services to detect whether they conform to specifications or customer expectations.

- Internal failure activities: correct defective processes or products and services before they are delivered to customers.

Answers

Answer:

a) The equilibrium value of Y is 41,180.

b) The value of autonomous consumption (c0) is 12557.

c) The value of MPC is 0.5.

d) The value of MPS is 0.5.

e) The value of APC is 0.70

f) The value of APS is 0.30

g) Private saving is 32286; Public saving is -1305; and National saving is 30981

h) Multiplier = 2

i) The equilibrium value of Y increases by $300.

j) The equilibrium value of Y decreases by $150.

k) The equilibrium value of Y increases by $150.

Explanation:

Note: The model is not complete as the figures in it are omitted. The complete model of the economy is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

C = 12557 + 0.5YD

I = 2281

G = 10199

T = 8894

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

a) What is the equilibrium value of Y?

YD = Y - T .............. (1)

Equilibrium value of Y can be obtained using the following formula:

Y = C + G + I ............................ (2)

Substituting all the values into equation (2), we have:

Y = 12557 + 0.5YD + 2281 + 10199 ………………….. (3)

Substituting equation (1) into equation (3), we have:

Y = 12557 + 0.5(Y – T) + 2281 + 10199 ……………… (4)

Substitute T = 8894 into equation (4) and solve for Y, we have:

Y = 12557 + 0.5(Y – 8894) + 2281 + 10199

Y = 12557 + 0.5Y – (0.5 * 8894) + 2281 + 10199

Y – 0.5Y = 12557 – (0.5 * 8894) + 2281 + 10199

(1 - 0.5)Y = 20590

0.5Y = 20590

Y = 20590/0.5

Y = 41,180

b) What is the value of autonomous consumption (c0)?

From C = 12557 + 0.5YD, the value of autonomous consumption (c0) is 12557.

c) What is the value of MPC?

From C = 12557 + 0.5YD, the value of MPC is 0.5.

d) What is the value of MPS?

MPS = 1 – MPC = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5

e) What is the value of APC?

YD = Y – T = 41180 – 8894 = 32286

C = 12557 + 0.5YD = C = 12557 + (0.5 * 32286) = 28,700

APC = C / Y = 28700 / 41,180 = 0.70

Note: This is not part of the answer but just additional information. Sometimes, YD is used. Then, we have:

APC = C / YD = 28700 / 32286 = 0.89

f) What is the value of APS?

APS = 1 – APC = 1 – 0.70 = 0.30

Note: This is not part of the answer but just additional information. If YD is used to calculate APC as it can be done sometimes, then we have:

APC = C / YD = 28700 / 32286 = 0.89

APS = 1 – APC = 1 – 0.89 = 0.11

g) Calculate private saving, public saving and national saving.

Private saving = Y – T = 41180 – 8894 = 32286

Public saving = T – G = 8894 – 10199 = -1305

National saving = Private saving + Public saving = 32286 -1305 = 30981

h) Calculate the multiplier.

Multiplier = 1 / MPS = 1 / 0.5 = 2

i) What happens to the equilibrium value of Y if G increases by $150?

Change in Y = Increase in G * Multiplier = $150 * 2 = $300

Since it is positive, it implies that the equilibrium value of Y increases by $300

j) What happens to the equilibrium value of Y if T increases by $150, and G remains at its original value of ?

Tax multiplier = - MPC/MPS =-0.5/0.5 = -1.0

Change in Y = Increase in T * Tax multiplier = $150 * (-1.0) = -$150

Since it is negative, it implies that the equilibrium value of Y decreases by $150.

k) What happens to the equilibrium value of Y if both G & T increase by $150 from their original amounts?

Change in Y = Change in Y as a result of change in G + Change Y as a result change in T = $300 + (-$150) = $300 - $150 = $150

Since it is positive, it implies that the equilibrium value of Y increases by $150.

Which of the following can be concluded from this information? (You may assume that Hamlet's income is large enough that however many widgets he might want to buy, he'll still have money left over for other goods.)
A) Hamlet's compensating variation is $20.

Answer:

A) Hamlet's compensating variation is $20.

Explanation:

Hamlet is expecting pay rise of $20 but he thinks that his utility will remain the same. Hamlet is not getting any extra benefit due to his pay rise and his utility is same, this is compensating variation because his initial utility is not changed. Compensating variation is the extra amount of money which is needed to reach to initial utility.

Vegas Corp. is a U.S. firm that exports most of its products to Canada. It historically invoiced its products in Canadian dollars to accommodate the importers. However, it was adversely affected when the Canadian dollar weakened against the U.S. dollar. Since Vegas did not hedge, its Canadian dollar receivables were converted into a relatively small amount of U.S. dollars. After a few more years of continual concern about possible exchange rate movements, Vegas called its customers and requested that they pay for future orders with U.S. dollars instead of Canadian dollars. At this time, the Canadian dollar was valued at $.81. The customers decided to oblige, since the number of Canadian dollars to be converted into U.S. dollars when importing the goods from Vegas was still slightly smaller than the number of Canadian dollars that would be needed to buy the product from a Canadian manufacturer. Based on this situation, has transaction exposure changed for Vegas Corp.

Explanation:

Transaction exposure is the uncertainty

which is faced by businesses that are involved in international trade. It occurs when there's fluctuation in the exchange rates after a financial obligation has been done by a firm.

From the question above, we can agree that there will be a change in transaction exposure for the company as there'll be a reduction in the transaction exposure. This is because future orders will be in U.S. dollars instead of Canadian dollars.

Howard Enterprises, which has three departments, recently reported the following results: A B C Sales revenue $ 12,000 $ 48,000 40,000 Less: Operating costs 11,400 59,800 50,500 Operating income (loss) $ 600 $ (11,800 ) $ (10,500 ) The company incurred variable operating costs as well as $25,000 of fixed operating costs. The $25,000 amount was allocated to A, B, and C on the basis of sales revenue and is included in the cost figures noted above. Which department(s), if any, should be closed if none of the fixed operating costs can be avoided

Answers

Answer:

Department C should be closed

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making department, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.

For Howard Enterprises, the department with a negative contribution should be closed otherwise its operation would reduce the overall profit by the amount of the negative contribution.

So lets work out the contribution for each department by adding back the apportioned fixed cost. See table below

                                                           A                B                C

                                                            $                $                $             Total

Sales Revenue                               12,000      48,000        40,000    100,000

Operating cost                              11,400        59,800        50,500

Operating income                           600         (11,800)        (10,500)

*Add back apportioned fixed cost 3,000       12,000        10,000

Contribution                                   3,600        200            (500)

*Apportioned fixed cost

A- 12,000/100,000× 25,000 = 3,000

B- 48,000/100000   × 25,000 = 12,000

C- 40,000/100,00×25,000 = 10,000

From the above analysis, Department C generates a negative contribution. It implies that it can barely cover its direct cost and so will deplete the total profit by its negative contribution. Hence, it should be closed

Department C should be closed

On January 1, 2021, the Montgomery Company agreed to purchase a building by making six payments. The first three are to be $37,000 each, and will be paid on December 31, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The last three are to be $52,000 each and will be paid on December 31, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Montgomery borrowed other money at a 11% annual rate. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. At what amount should Montgomery record the note payable and corresponding cost of the building on January 1, 2021

Answers

Answer:

cost of the building = $183,331.14

Explanation:

we have to calculate the present value of all the future annual payments using the 11% discount rate:

$37,000 x 2.4437 (PVIFA, 11%, 3 periods) = $90,416.90

($52,000 x 2.4437) / (1 + 11%)³ = $92,914.24

total present value = $183,331.14

B. Consumers directly inform suppliers of the increased demand for corn.
C. The government mandates that U.S. corn producers increase the acreage they devote to corn production to keep up with demand.
D. Economists publish reports in trade magazines informing farmers of the increased demand for corn.

Answers

Answer:

a. As a result of the price increase in corn, the supply of corn would increase. At the same time, the amount of acreage used in corn production would increase.

b. The most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production is:

A. The higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.

Explanation:

With corn as the major ingredient for the production of ethanol biofuel the demand and supply of corn increase to match with the increasing price.  Suppliers, on their part, increase production by utilizing more acreage of land devoted for corn production.  This is the typical interplay between the market forces that drive market equilibrium.

Answer:

a. As a result of the price increase in corn, the quantity supplied of corn would increase. At the same time, the amount of acreage used in corn production would increase.
The most likely cause of the change in the amount of acreage used in corn production is the higher price signals suppliers that corn is becoming more valuable.

Explanation:

Corn is an input for ethanol biofuel. An increase in demand for ethanol biofuel results in an increase in the demand for corn. As more ethanol is being produced, more corn is used in the production process.

The increase in the demand for corn increases the price of corn. As the price of corn increases, there is an increase in the quantity supplied of corn. Farmers are growing larger quantities of corn, which results in an increase in the acreage used for corn production.

An increase in price causes a movement along the supply curve. It does not cause a shift of the supply curve.

Consumers do not directly inform farmers of their increase in the demand for corn. Price serves as the market signal. Consumers are willing to pay a higher price for corn, showing that they value corn more.

The government does not generally regulate what specific crop is grown on private farmland. Furthermore, economists may publish predictions, but farmers are most responsive to changes in market price.
