A manager is holding a $1.2 million stock portfolio with a beta of 1.01. She would like to hedge the risk of the portfolio using the S&P 500 stock index futures contract. How many dollars’ worth of the index should she sell in the futures market to minimize the volatility of her position? (Enter your answer in dollar not in millions.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $1,212,000 or $1.212 million

Explanation:

To calculate the dollars’ worth of the index the manager should sell in the futures market to minimize the volatility of her position, we can use the following formula,

Dollar worth of index to sell = Value of the Portfolio * Portfolio Beta

Dollar worth of index to sell = 1,200,000 * 1.01

Dollar worth of index to sell = $1,212,000

The manager should sell $1,212,000 worth of the index in the futures market to minimize the volatility of her position.

Select all of the following that make this statement true: Recursive solutions _________. a. are always more efficient than iterative solutions b. can lead to stack overflow errors c. are never necessary d. rely on inheritance to work correctly e. are composed of a base case and a recursive relationship f. use constructor chaining

Answers

Answer:

b. can lead to stack overflow errors

Explanation:

Each recursive call uses some space on the stack. If your recursion is too deep, then it will result in StackOverflow, depending upon the maximum allowed depth in the stack.

When using recursion, you should be very careful and make sure that you provide a base case. A base case in recursion is the condition based on which the recursion ends, and the stack starts to unwind. This is the major reason of recursion causing StackOverflow error. If it doesn't find any base case, it will go into an infinite recursion, which will certainly result in error, as Stack is finite only.

balance sheet showed total assets of $60 million, total liabilities (including preferred stock) of $45 million, and 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Next year, Flintstone is projecting that it will have net income of $1.5 million. If the average P/E multiple in Flintstone's industry is 15, what should be the price of Flintstone's stock

Answers

Answer:

The price per share should be $22.5

Explanation:

The price earnings multiple or P/E tells us how much price the investors are willing to pay for $1 earnings of the company.

We first need to calculate the earnings per share of the company.

Earnings per share = Net Income / Number of outstanding common shares

Earnings per share = 1500000 / 1000000  =  $1.5 per share

Using the P/E for the industry, the price per share of Flintstone should be,

P/E = Price per share / Earnings per share

15 = Price per share / 1.5

15 * 1.5 = Price per share

Price per Share = $22.5

Answer:

$22.5

Explanation:

Price earning ratio determines the ratio of price of a share by the earning per share . It measures the times value which a investor pays for each $1 earning of the shares.

Earning per share = Net income / Outstanding number of shares

Earning per share = $1,500,000 / 1,000,000 = $1.5 per share

As we have the PE ratio and Earning per share, we have to calculate the Market price of the stock using following formula

Price Earning Ratio = Market Price of Stock / Earning Per share

15 = Market Price / $1.5

Market Price = 15 x $1.5 = $22.50

You have an idea for a company that sources fruits from local farms and makes fresh juices on a daily basis. You want to start a subscription-based service in which households within a 100-mile radius subscribe to your plan and receive two gallons of freshly squeezed juice (for example, cherry juice, apple juice, lemonade) twice a week. As you think about starting your business, you ask yourself: How rare is the service I am offering? How valuable is it? Can I organize the company to maximize my advantages in the marketplace? After asking these questions, review and identify which question from VRIO did you forget to ask?

Answers

Answer:

VRIO = Value Rarity Imitablility Organization.  

Value highlights on the source is valued or not. It reflects that the company is systematized to deed the reserve of competence. Rarity is asked in positions of how infrequent and exclusive the assets are. Imitability means that how problematic is it for participants to duplicate the resource or competence. Organization is asked in positions of how fine the assets are structured to exploit the benefits in the market.  

Therefore, it is focused that the value, rarity and the organization is focused in the question but imitability isn’t focused.  However, some skills or resources are too expensive to be copied by other firms  

Final answer:

The unasked VRIO question is whether the service is imitable, which is crucial for assessing the competitive advantage. The success of the proposed fruit sourcing and juice production business will depend on an effective pricing strategy, managing buyer bargaining power, and efficient distribution.

Explanation:

When considering the idea for a company that sources fruits from local farms and makes fresh juices to offer as a subscription service, several key questions must be asked to determine its potential success in the marketplace. The questions posed about rarity, value, and organization relate to the VRIO framework which is vital to assess the company's competitive advantage. However, the question not asked that is essential to VRIO is, "Is the service I am offering imitable?" This reflects whether competitors can easily replicate the business model and weaken the competitive advantage.

The VRIO framework stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, and Organization. The question on imitability examines if there are any critical resources or capabilities that the company possesses that are difficult for competitors to copy. If a service is easily imitated, it decreases the potential for sustained competitive advantage. The Wall Street Journal quote about the impact of orange prices on juice marketers can be related to the concept of supply and demand, as well as the importance of price flexibility in response to market fluctuations. This is relevant to the proposed business, emphasizing the need for a robust pricing strategy.

Han Products manufactures 25,000 units of part S-6 each year for use on its production line. At this level of activity, the cost per unit for part S-6 is: Direct materials $ 3.90 Direct labor 8.00 Variable manufacturing overhead 2.10 Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.00 Total cost per part $ 20.00 An outside supplier has offered to sell 25,000 units of part S-6 each year to Han Products for $18 per part. If Han Products accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to manufacture part S-6 could be rented to another company at an annual rental of $75,000. However, Han Products has determined that two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead being applied to part S-6 would continue even if part S-6 were purchased from the outside supplier. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside supplier’s offer?

Answers

Answer:

$25,000

Explanation:

The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the outside supplier’s offer is shown below:

But before that first we have to compute the relevant cost for 25,000 units which is given below:

= (Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit × number of units manufactured) + (Fixed manufacturing overhead ×  number of units manufactured × remaining portion applied)

= ($3.9 + $8 + $2.10) × 25,000 units + ($6 × 25,000 units × 1 ÷3)

= $400,000

Now  

Financial Advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the outside offer is

= (Relevant cost at 25,000 units - per part price × number of units manufactured) + (Annual rental amount)

= ($400,000 - $18 × 25,000 units) + $75,000

= $25,000

Since this amount comes in positive which signifies the financial advantage

Final answer:

Accepting the supplier's offer would save Han Products $25,000 annually, considering the cost of outsourcing, the continued overheads, and the potential income from renting the manufacturing facilities.

Explanation:

To evaluate the financial advantage or disadvantage of Han Products accepting the external supplier's offer, we need to compare the current total cost of production with the cost of buying from the supplier and the potential income from renting the facilities.

Currently, the total annual cost for producing 25,000 units of part S-6 is $20 per unit, which equates to $500,000. If Han Products accepts the outside supplier's offer, the cost would be $18 per unit, or $450,000 annually. However, two-thirds of the fixed manufacturing overhead would still continue, amounting to $100,000 (2/3 ×$6×25,000).

So, the total cost if Han Products accepts the supplier's offer would then be $550,000 ($450,000 purchase cost + $100,000 continuing overhead). However, they could potentially earn $75,000 from renting the facilities, taking the total down to $475,000.

Therefore, by accepting the supplier's offer, Han Products would save $25,000 annually ($500,000 previous cost - $475,000 new cost).

The company applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. For the current year, the company’s predetermined overhead rate of $14.25 per direct labor-hour was based on a cost formula that estimated $570,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 40,000 direct labor-hours. The following transactions were recorded for the year:
Raw materials were purchased on account, $634,000.
Raw materials use in production, $598,400. All of of the raw materials were used as direct materials.
The following costs were accrued for employee services: direct labor, $520,000; indirect labor, $150,000; selling and administrative salaries, $337,000.
Incurred various selling and administrative expenses (e.g., advertising, sales travel costs, and finished goods warehousing), $461,000.
Incurred various manufacturing overhead costs (e.g., depreciation, insurance, and utilities), $420,000.

What is the total manufacturing cost added to Work in Process during the year?

Answers

Answer:

$1,702,650

Explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturing cost added to work in process is shown below:

Total manufacturing cost added to work in process

= Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead applied

where,

Direct material $598,400

Direct labor is $520,000

And, the manufacturing overhead applied is

= Actual direct labor hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 41,000 hours × $14.25

= $584,250

So, the total manufacturing cost is

= $598,400 + $520,000 + $584,250

= $1,702,650

We simply applied the above formula

Final answer:

The total manufacturing cost added to Work in Process for the year is $1,702,650, calculated by adding the direct materials used ($598,400), the direct labor cost ($520,000), and the applied manufacturing overhead ($584,250).

Explanation:

To calculate the total manufacturing cost added to Work in Process during the year, we need to sum the direct materials used, direct labor cost, and applied manufacturing overhead. Here are the details for the calculation:

Direct materials used: $598,400Direct labor: $520,000Applied manufacturing overhead (41,000 hours × $14.25 per hour): $584,250

Total manufacturing cost added to Work in Process = $598,400 + $520,000 + $584,250 = $1,702,650. This calculation provides the cost that the company has registered as the manufacturing cost for products that are still in the production process by the end of the accounting period.

Ford Motor Company planned to equip its 2020 line of Explorers with Firestone tires. However, Ford conducted several crash tests prior to releasing the new line of Explorers and found that the tires increased the chances of rollovers during crashes, and in turn, the expected fatality rate. Ford’s economists determine that it would cost $600 to put new tires on each Explorer. Doing so would reduce the probability of death in a car accident by .0003. Currently, the value of life used in calculations by the court system and the government is $3 million.
a. If Ford does not put new tires on the Explorers and there is a deadly car acident, would they be negligent under the Hand rule. Why?
b. If the value of life used in calculations by the court system increased to $4 million, what is the most expensive precaution that Ford would have to take in order to not be found negligent under the Hand Rule?

Explanation:

Judy, looks after Kaelyn's four-year-old twins so Kaelyn can go to work (she drops off and picks up the twins from Judy's home every day). Since Judy is a relative, Kaelyn made sure, for tax purposes, to pay her mother the going rate for child care ($6,360 for the year). What is the amount of Kaelyn's child and dependent care credit if her AGI for the year was $36,60

Answers

Answer:

$1,440

Explanation:

Judy is not a dependent relative of Kaelyn, therefore the expenditures are qualified up to $6,000 (for two qualifying persons).

Thus the applicable percentage is 24%.

($6,000×24%)

=$1,440 allowable credit

Therefore the amount of Kaelyn's child and dependent care credit if her AGI for the year was $36,600 will be $1,440

Fixed costs remain constant at​ $450,000 per month. During​ high-output months variable costs are​ $300,000, and during​ low-output months variable costs are​ $125,000. What are the respective high and low​ indirect-cost rates if budgeted professional​ labor-hours are​ 24,000 for​ high-output months and​ 5,000 for​ low-output months?

Answers

Answer:

High indirect-cost rate is $31.25

Low indirect-cost rate is  $115

Explanation:

It is noteworthy that the indirect cost-rate refers to the sum of variable cost per hour+fixed cost per hour

High indirect-cost rate=variable cost per hour+fixed cost per hour

High output:

variable cost per hour=total variable costs/number of hours

fixed cost per hour=Fixed costs/number of hours

variable cost per hour=($300,000/24,000)=$12.5

fixed cost per hour =($450,000/24000)=$18.75

high indirect cost-rate=$12.5+$18.75=$31.25

Low output:

variable cost per hour=total variable costs/number of hours

fixed cost per hour=Fixed costs/number of hours

variable cost per hour=($125,000/5,000)=$25.00

fixed cost per hour =($450,000/5,000)=$90

low indirect cost-rate=$25+$90=$115

A retail store's Sales Account totals $223,000 which includes both the sales revenue and the sales tax on the sales. If the sales tax rate is 5%, what is the amount of the sales taxes owed to the taxing agency?

Answers

Answer:

$10,619.05

Explanation:

When sales is made at a tax rate of 5%, the entries to be posted in the proportion of the transaction amount

Dr Cash/ Accounts receivable 105%

Cr Sales revenue 100%

Cr Sales tax 5%

As such, if Sales Account totals $223,000 which includes both the sales revenue and the sales tax on the sales, it means that the accounts contains 105%, as such, the sales tax which is the amount owed the taxing agency

= 5/105 * $223,000

= $10,619.05

Answer:

10619.05

Explanation:

Sales without tax x (100%+sales tax rate) = sales with sales tax

sales without tax x 1.05 (100+5%) =223000

sales without tax = 223000/1.05

sales without tax = 212380.95

sales with sales tax - sales without sales tax = sales tax

223000-212380.95=10619.05

On December 31, 2020, Lemmon Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $50 per share for all of the outstanding common shares of May Company. Stock issuance costs of $4,000 and direct costs of $1,000 were paid. In addition, Lemmon promised to pay an additional $2,200 to the former owners if May's earnings exceeded a certain amount during the next year. The fair value of the potential obligation is estimated at $2,000. Compute the investment to be recorded at date of acquisition.

Answers

Answer:

$1,002,000

Explanation:

The costs incurred on the share for share exchange include the fair value per share ,issue costs,direct cost as well as contingent consideration(consideration based on the acquired business performance.

However,the costs eligible to be recorded as investment upon acquisition are the fair value per share and the contingent obligation as shown below:

Fair value (entire shares) $50*20,000=$1,000,000

fair value of potential obligation           =$2000

total value of investment                        $1,002,000

The issue costs and direct should be expensed immediately.

Final answer:

To compute the investment to be recorded at the date of acquisition, subtract the stock issuance costs and direct costs from the fair value of the shares issued and then add the fair value of the potential obligation.

Explanation:

To compute the investment to be recorded at the date of acquisition, we need to consider the fair value of the shares issued and the additional potential obligation. Here are the steps:

Calculate the fair value of the shares issued: 20,000 shares * $50 per share = $1,000,000.Subtract the stock issuance costs and direct costs: $1,000,000 - $4,000 - $1,000 = $994,000.Add the fair value of the potential obligation: $994,000 + $2,000 = $996,000.

Therefore, the investment to be recorded at the date of acquisition is $996,000.

Answers

Answer:

Unit product cost = $107

Explanation:

Absorption costing is a method of costing where production units and inventories are value at the full cost per unit. Here, fixed overheads are charged to all units produced using an overhead absorption rate

The full cost per unit = D.mat cost + D.labour cost + Variable overheads+ Fixed overheads

Fixed production overhead cost per unit

=Fixed manufacturing overhead/units produced

=  $43,700/ 1,900 Units

=$23 per unit

Full cost per unit

= $42  + $31 + $11 + 23

= $107

The quantity (in pounds) of a gourmet ground coffee that is sold by a coffee company at a price of p dollars per pound is Q = f(p). (a) What is the meaning of the derivative f '(5)? The rate of change of the price per pound with respect to the quantity of coffee sold. The supply of coffee needed to be sold to charge $5 per pound. The rate of change of the quantity of coffee sold with respect to the price per pound when the price is $5 per pound. The rate of change of the price per pound with respect to the quantity of coffee sold when the price is $5 per pound. The price of the coffee as a function of the supply. What are the units of f '(5)? dollars dollars/pound pounds/(dollars/pound) pounds dollars/(pound/pound) pounds/dollar

Answers

The rate of change of the quantity of coffee sold with respect to the price per pound when the price is $5 per pound.The units of f '(5) are: pounds/(dollars/pound).

(a) When the price is $5 per pound, the derivative f '(5) shows the rate of change in the quantity of coffee sold in relation to the price per pound.

In other words, it explains how, when the price is $5 per pound, the amount of coffee sold will alter in reaction to a little change in price.

If f '(5) is positive, then a rise in price will result in a greater sale of coffee; if it is negative, then an increase in price will result in a smaller sale of coffee.

(b) Pounds/(dollars/pound) are the units of f '(5). By dissecting the units, it can be seen that f'(5) indicates the change in quantity (in pounds) divided by the change in price (in dollars per pound).

The units are therefore pounds divided by (dollars per pound), which can be written as pounds/(dollars/pound).

Thus, this unit indicates the change in the amount of coffee sold in response to a change in the price per pound of one unit, which is precisely what the derivative measures.

O response to service failure
O ethical problems
O involuntary switching

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": inconvenience.

Explanation:

Under this scenario, clients prefer to look for a substitute that better matches their expectations. Companies must constantly gauge consumers' perceptions through different mediums such as surveys to identify improvement areas.

Backus Inc. makes and sells many consumer products. The firm’s average contribution margin ratio is 27%. Management is considering adding a new product that will require an additional $13,000 per month of fixed expenses and will have variable expenses of $8 per unit. Required: Calculate the selling price that will be required for the new product if it is to have a contribution margin ratio equal to 27%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Calculate the number of units of the new product that would have to be sold if the new product is to increase the firm's monthly operating income by $8,100. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is $10.96 and for option (b) is 7,128 units.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

contribution margin ratio = 27%

Variable expense = $8 per unit

Fixed expense = $13,000

(A) We can calculate the selling price as follows:

Contribution margin ratio = 100 % - Variable expense ratio

= 27% = 100% - Variable expense ratio

= Variable expense ratio = 100% - 27% = 73%

So, Selling price = Variable expense  ÷ Variable expense ratio

= $8 ÷ 73%

= $10.96

(b). Profit = $8,100

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable expense = $10.96 - $8 = $2.96

So. we can calculate the number of units by using following formula:

Number of units required =  (Fixed cost + Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin

= ( $13,000 + $8,100 ) ÷ $2.96

= $21,100 ÷ $2.96

= 7,128.38 units

How much cash did XT receive from collections of accounts receivable

Answers

Answer:

TX received cash of $828,500 from collections of accounts receivable.

Explanation:

To arrive at the cash collections on accounts receivable, we need to do a movement of accounts receivable as follows:

Opening balance                    $150,000

Write-off during the year          ($11,500)

Credit sales                            $900,000

Collections                                         X

Closing balance                      $210,000

$1,038,500 - X = $210,000

X = $828,500; therefore, the collections is $828,500.

The allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,900 is only necessary to arrive at the net cash realizable of the accounts receivable as $828,500 - $12,900  = $815,600

Data pertaining to a company's joint production for the current period follows: L M Quantities produced 200 lbs. 150 lbs. Market value at split-off point $ 8 /lb. $ 16 /lb. Compute the cost to be allocated to Product M for this period's $660 of joint costs if the value basis is used. Multiple Choice $264. $396. $330. $1,364. $796.

Answers

Answer:

Joint cost value based = $396

Explanation:

Given:

Company                            L                M

Quantities produced     200 lbs       150 lbs

Market value                  $8/lb            $16/lb

Total joint cost = $660

Computation:

Market value of L = 200 lbs × $8/lbs

Market value of L = $1,600

Market value of M = 150 lbs × $16/lbs

Market value of M = $2,400

Total market value = Market value of L + Market value of M

Total market value = $1,600 + $2,400

Total market value = $4,000

Joint cost value based = $660 × ($2,400 / $4,000)

Joint cost value based = $396

Bailey Company has $200,000 of accounts receivable on December 31. The unadjusted balance of its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a debit of $9,000. An aging of its accounts receivable suggests that $12,000 of its receivables will be uncollectible. The amount that should be debited to Bad Debt Expense and credited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in the year-end adjusting entry is

a. $3,000
b. $21,000
c. $9,000
d. $14,000
e. $23,000

Answers

Answer:

b. $21,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Where a debit that had previously been determined to have gone bad gets settled, debit cash and credit bad debt expense.

The amount that should be debited to Bad Debt Expense and credited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in the year-end adjusting entry is the sum of the debit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and the amount suggested by the aging of receivables.

= $9,000 + $12,000

= $21,000

Final answer:

The correct amount to be debited to Bad Debt Expense and credited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the year-end adjusting entry is $21,000. This amount corrects the previous debit balance and accounts for the current period's estimated uncollectible receivables.

Explanation:

To calculate the rightful amount to be debited to Bad Debt Expense and credited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, we first need to address the existing debit balance of $9,000 in the allowance account. This unusual debit balance suggests that previously, the amount of bad debts that occurred were greater than what was anticipated and provided for. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate this debit balance and also set up the appropriate allowance for the current period's anticipated uncollectable receivables, which is estimated to be $12,000. Therefore, the adjusting entry must first remove the existing $9,000 debit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and then add the additional $12,000 that is expected to be uncollectable, resulting in a total entry to Bad Debt Expense of $21,000 ($9,000 to cancel out the debit balance + $12,000 for current period estimation). The journal entry would look like this:

Debit Bad Debt Expense: $21,000Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: $21,000

This action will leave the correct credit balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and accurately reflect anticipated uncollectable accounts receivable.
