Answer:
The operating system has payback of 3.47 years
The machine has a payback of 4.36 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the length of time taken for the initial investment to repay itself.
The project after the payback period would begin to yield returns on the investment.
Payback period=Initial investment/after-tax income per year
For the operating system the initial investment is the cost of $250,000
after-tax income is the incremental amount of $72,115
payback period=$250,000/$72,115=3.47 years
The machine has an initial capital outlay of $170,000
after tax income of $39,000
payback period=$170,000/$39,000=4.36 years
The independent cases are listed below that includes all items relevant to operating activities: Case A Case B Case C Sales revenue $ 71,000 $ 61,000 $ 102,000 Cost of goods sold 38,000 29,000 68,200 Depreciation expense 10,600 2,600 26,600 Salaries and wages expense 5,600 13,600 8,600 Net income 16,800 15,800 (1,400 ) Accounts receivable increase (decrease) (1,000 ) 4,600 3,600 Inventory increase (decrease) 2,600 0 (3,600 ) Accounts payable increase (decrease) 0 3,100 (1,000 ) Salaries and wages payable increase (decrease) 1,800 (2,600 ) 1,000 Compute cash flows from operating activities using the direct method. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Final answer:
To calculate cash flows from operating activities using the direct method, adjust sales revenue for changes in accounts receivable, subtract adjusted costs of goods sold and salaries, and make additional adjustments for changes in inventory and accounts payable.
Explanation:
Calculating Cash Flows from Operating Activities
To compute the cash flows from operating activities using the direct method, we follow these steps for each case:
Begin with sales revenue and adjust for the change in accounts receivable to find cash collected from customers.Subtract the cost of goods sold and adjust for the inventory and accounts payable changes to find cash paid to suppliers.Subtract the salaries and wages expense and adjust for the change in salaries and wages payable to find cash paid to employees.Subtract any other operating expenses, adjusting for any associated changes in liabilities or assets that affect cash.However, in these particular cases, the only expenses we are given are for cost of goods sold, depreciation, and salaries and wages. Since depreciation expense doesn't affect cash, only cases with changes in receivables, inventory, and accounts payable will have adjustments.
Note that in a real-world scenario, there might be other adjustments necessary for items such as other operating expenses, interest paid, and income taxes paid.
Here's how the calculation would look for Case A (as an example):
Cash collected from customers = Sales revenue - Increase in accounts receivable = $71,000 - ($-1,000) = $72,000
Cash paid to suppliers = Cost of goods sold - Increase in inventory + Increase in accounts payable = $38,000 - $2,600 + $0 = $35,400
Cash paid to employees = Salaries and wages expense - Increase in salaries and wages payable = $5,600 - $1,800 = $3,800
These computations would repeat for each case, and the subtotal of these amounts would give the cash flows from operating activities for that case.
If the monthly sales volume required to break even is $190,000 and monthly fixed costs are $55,900, the contribution margin ratio is closest to: Select one: a. 29% b. 71% c. 340% d. 23%
Answer:
a. 29%
Explanation:
Given that
Contribution margin = $55,900
Sales = $190,000
The computation of contribution margin ratio is shown below:-
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales
= $55,900 ÷ $190,000
= 29%
Therefore for computing the contribution margin ratio we simply divide sales by contribution margin ratio.

Project team members can identify who should be notified of task completion status by checking the:Select one:a. Control accountb. Linear responsibility chartc. Statement of workd. Monthly joint review report
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Linear responsibility chart.
Explanation:
A Linear Responsibility Chart (LRC) is, just like its name indicates, a chart where all the participants of a project are in a hierarchical order so subordinates will know who to report and what the command structure of the group is. LRCs display the function of the main representatives of the plan to be carried out so they are helpful to create correct lines of communication and coordination during the development of the project.
Which of the following is included in the U.S. financial account? transactions involving trade between nations. interest payments for overseas stock purchases. net transfer payments. foreign aid payments. foreign stock purchases by Americans.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": foreign stock purchases by Americans.
Explanation:
The U.S. financial account is part of the Balance of Payments of the country that reflects the domestic assets owned by foreigners and the foreign assets owned by Americans. In case the U.S. financial account increases, it means there are more foreigners owning assets locally than Americans owning assets abroad. If the account decreases, there are more Americans owning assets abroad than foreigners owning assets in the U.S.
Therefore, foreign stock purchases by Americans will be included in the U.S. financial account.

Answer:
1. The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011 and Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.
2. The price of a paperback novel is 3 beignets in 2011 and Maria's wage is 9 beignets per hour in 2011.
3. 3 Beignets
4. increases and remains the same
Explanation:
1. Nominal value is the value of a product based on the money of the day that we see. The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011 and Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011 are the values of the product and wage quoting the money of the day.
2. The real value of a varaible is the value in terms of the value of some other goods. In this case Paperback and Maria's wage are valued in terms of beignets.
3. The relative price of paperback is valued in terms of beignets. So if a beignet costs $6 and a paperback novel is $18. The relative price of a paperback novel will be three times the cost of beignet, since a beignet costs $6.
4. Between 2011 and 2016, the nominal value of Maria's wage increases and the real value of her wage remains the same.
Why do people often want to insure fully against uncertain situations even when the premium paid exceeds the expected value of the loss being insured against? A. Assuming risk-averse individuals, the decrease in utility from a loss is greater than the increase in utility from a gain because of diminishing marginal utility. B. Assuming the consumer's objective is to maximize expected utility, one must conclude that people are not always rational. C. Assuming risk-averse individuals, the decrease in utility from a loss is greater than the increase in utility from a gain because of increasing marginal utility. D. Assuming the consumer's objective is to maximize expected utility, only if they are extremely risk averse is it rational for them to pay a higher premium to avoid a loss.
Answer:
A. Assuming risk-averse individuals, the decrease in utility from a loss is greater than the increase in utility from again because of diminishing marginal utility.
Explanation:
Risk-averse people have declining marginal utility, and this means that the pain of a loss increases at an increasing rate as the size of the loss increases.
Carroll Corporation has two products, Q and P. During June, the company's net operating income was $25,000, and the common fixed expenses were $54,000. The contribution margin ratio for Product Q was 40%, its sales were $139,000, and its segment margin was $46,000. If the contribution margin for Product P was $44,000, the segment margin for Product P was: Multiple Choice $33,000 $46,000 $8,000 $79,000
Answer:
The Segment Margin of P is $79,000
Explanation:
Given
Product Q Contribution Margin Ratio = 40%
Sales of Product Q = $139,000
Segment margin of Product Q = $46,000
Net operating income = $25,000
Common fixed expenses = $54,000
Product P Contribution Margin = $44,000
Using the following formula, we'll calculate the segment margin for product P
Net Operating Income = Segment Margin of P - Common Fixed Expense
Substituting each values
$25,000 = Segment Margin of P - $54,000
Collect like terms
Segment Margin of P = $25,000 + $54,000
Segment Margin of P = $79,000
Edelman Engines has $11 billion in total assets. Its balance sheet shows $1.1 billion in current liabilities, $7.7 billion in long-term debt, and $2.2 billion in common equity. It has 900 million shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock price is $25 per share. What is Edelman's market/book ratio? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
10.23x
Explanation:
Market/Book Ratio = Stock Price / Net Book Value per Share
Stock Price = $25 per share
Net Book Value per Share = Net Book Value / shares of common stock outstanding
Shares of common stock outstanding = 900 million shares
where;
Total Assets = $11 billion
Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities + Long-Term Liabilities
Total Liabilities = $1.1 billion + $7.7 billion
Total Liabilities = $8.8 billion
Hence;
Net Book Value = Total Assets - Total Liabilities
Net Book Value = $11 billion - $8.8 billion
Net Book Value = $2.2 billion
Therefore;
Net Book Value per Share = Net Book Value / shares of common stock outstanding
Net Book Value per Share = $2.2 billion / 900 million shares
Net Book Value per Share = $2,200,000,000 / 900,000,000 shares
Net Book Value per Share = $2.44 per share
So;
Market/Book Ratio = Stock Price / Net Book Value per Share
Market/Book Ratio = $25 per share / $2.44 per share
Market/Book Ratio = 10.23x
It means that Stock is over valued and it has performed well because Market/Book Ratio is greater than 1. So the Stock price is set at higher price in relation to Edelman Engines' Net Book Value, so its Market/Book Ratio is 10.23x.

Starcrest Publishing is one of many companies that will take demographic information about your child and publish a story written about that child. The story is already written, and a computer is used to insert the relevant information into the spaces left blank-such as the child's name, his address, his age, his grandparents' name, etc.
Starcrest Publishing uses:
A. just-in-time production.
B. mass customization.
C. individualized production.
D. niche manufacturing.
E. production-to-order.
Starcrest Publishing uses mass customization.
Explanation:
Mass customization is an advertising and marketing strategy that blends the versatility and functionality of personalized goods with low unit costs associated with mass production.
Many product customization titles like made-to-order or built-to-order.
Market customization helps the consumer to customize the aspects of the company while holding prices similar to those of market-produced goods.
For certain instances, the product elements are interchangeable. Such versatility helps the consumer to mix-and-match choices to produce a semi-custom finished product.
Starcrest Publishing uses mass customization by taking standard story templates and inserting personalized details to create unique books for each customer.
The correct option is 'B'.
Starcrest Publishing is employing a production strategy known as mass customization. This is a process where a company uses technology, like a computer system, to produce personalized products for customers on a large scale. The company takes predetermined, standardized story templates and customizes them with individual details such as a child's name, address, and age to create a unique product for each customer.
This approach differs from just-in-time production, which focuses on producing goods to meet demand exactly when needed to reduce inventory costs. It is not strictly individualized production, which would imply a completely unique product created for a single customer.
Nor is it niche manufacturing, which would focus on serving specific segments of the market with specialized products. Lastly, production-to-order is a broader term that mass customization falls under, but it lacks the specificity regarding the customization aspect.

A customer requires during the next 4 months, respectively, 50, 65, 100, and 70 units of a commodity, and no backlogging is allowed (that is, the customer’s requirements must be met on time). Production costs are $5, $8, $4, and $7 per unit during these months. The storage cost from one month to the next is $2 per unit (assessed on ending inventory). It is estimated that each unit on hand at the end of month 4 could be sold for $6 (so that is a negative cost). Determine how much to produce each month to minimize the net cost incurred in meeting the demands for the next 4 months.
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
Assumptions:
No inventory at beginning of month
Unlimited capacity

To minimize costs over four months, you should produce exactly as demanded in the first two months, and produce surplus in the third month, taking advantage of the lower unit cost. The surplus units will cater for the fourth month minimizing the production cost, even after taking into account the storage cost.
Explanation:Calculating Optimal Production LevelIn order to minimize the net cost incurred in meeting the next four months' demand, the ideal production level must balance production costs with storage costs, maximizing efficiency. The first month, it's best to produce 50 units (as required). In the second month, it's cost-effective to produce another 65 units to meet that month's demand. For the third month, producing 100 units would cater to the demand, but due to lower per unit production costs, it's advisable to produce additional units for next month, so the production would be 170 units. In this case, you'll have 70 units in storage which will be charged $2 per unit, but it is cheaper than producing them in the fourth month. At the end of month 4, the remaining units could be sold for $6 each, further depleting the net cost.

Langer Company produces plastic items, including plastic housings for humidifiers. Each housing requires about 15 ounces of plastic costing $0.08 per ounce. Langer molds the plastic into the proper shape. Langer has budgeted production of the housings for the next 4 months as follows: Units July 3,500 August 4,400 September 4,900 October 6,300 Inventory policy requires that sufficient plastic be in ending monthly inventory to satisfy 30% of the following month's production needs. The inventory of plastic at the beginning of July equals exactly the amount needed to satisfy the inventory policy. Required: Prepare a direct materials purchases budget for July, August, and September, showing purchases in units and in dollars for each month and in total. If required, round the total purchase cost to nearest whole value.
The detailed answer provides calculations for preparing a direct materials purchases budget for Langer Company for the months of July, August, and September. It also uses the principles of production planning and inventory management to show how to calculate the amount of raw materials to be purchased each month.
Explanation:To calculate the purchases budget for each of the months in question we first compute the total amount of plastic needed for production schedule and then add additional plastic for inventory as per the company's policy.
1. For July, the production requirement is 3500 units. Each unit requires 15 ounces of plastic. Therefore the total plastic needed is 3500*15 = 52500 ounces. The company will need additional 30% of August's production i.e. 30%*4400*15 = 19800 ounces. Therefore, total ounces to be purchased in July = 52500+19800 = 72300 ounces. In dollar Terms, 72300*0.08 = $5784
2. For August, production requirement is 4400*15 = 66000 ounces. Additional 30% for September's production = 30%*4900*15 = 22050 ounces. Therefore, total ounces to be purchased in August = 66000+22050 = 88050 ounces. In dollar terms, 88050*0.08 = $7044
3. For September, production requirement is 4900*15 = 73500 ounces. Additional 30% for October's production = 30%*6300*15 = 28350 ounces. Therefore, total ounces to be purchased in September = 73500+28350 = 101850 ounces. In dollar terms, 101850*0.08 = $8148
The total purchase cost over all three months is $5784 + $7044 + $8148 = $20976 (rounded to the nearest whole number).

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)
When it seems that the account is determined to be uncollectible that it would be recorded as a bad debt expense plus it results into overstated of account receivable i.e to be shown on the balance sheet. And, neither it is to be consistent with GAAP and the accrual accounting
The direct write-off method is not consistent with GAAP and accrual accounting, and bad debt expense is recognized when an account is uncollectible, making option b (I and III only) the correct choice.
Explanation:The correct statements regarding the direct write-off method for calculating bad debt expense are that it is not normally consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and accrual accounting and that bad debt expense is recognized when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible. Therefore, the correct answer is b. I and III only. The direct write-off method can potentially result in a mismatch of revenue and expenses, as the expense is only recognized when a specific account is deemed uncollectible, which can occur in a different period from when the related revenue was recognized. This method does not usually lead to an overstatement of accounts receivable on the balance sheet because accounts are not written off until they are deemed uncollectible.

An industry has 1000 competitive firms, each producing 50 tons of output. At the current market price of $10, half of the firms have a short-run supply curve with a slope of 1; the other half each have a short-run supply curve with slope 2. The short-run elasticity of market supply is:A) 1/50
B) 3/10
C) 1/5
D) 2/5
E) none of the above
Final answer:
The short-run elasticity of market supply is calculated based on the given slopes of supply curves and the price increase from $10 to $11. It is found to be a 3% increase in quantity divided by a 10% increase in price, which equals an elasticity of 3/10.
Explanation:
The question involves calculating the short-run elasticity of market supply for a competitive industry. Elasticity measures responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. In this case, we want to determine the elasticity given that half of the firms have a supply curve slope of 1, and the other half have a slope of 2, when the output changes from 50 tons at $10 to an unknown quantity at $11. We use the formula for elasticity, which is the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price. Since we are given the slopes of supply curves instead of specific quantities, we'll consider hypothetical quantities to calculate the elasticity.
Let's assume an increase in price from $10 to $11, a 10% increase. For firms with a slope of 1, for every $1 increase in price, the quantity increases by 1 ton. For firms with a slope of 2, for every $1 increase, the quantity increases by 2 tons. Since the increase is $1 for both, we can add up the individual increases:
Firms with slope 1: 500 firms x 1 ton = 500 tons
Firms with slope 2: 500 firms x 2 tons = 1000 tons
Total increase in quantity = 1500 tons
The initial total quantity supplied is 50 tons x 1000 firms = 50,000 tons. A 1500 ton increase on 50,000 is a 3% increase. The elasticity of supply is then:
(3% increase in quantity) / (10% increase in price) = 0.3 or 3/10

Suppose the price of one share of a particular stock rose from $9.00 to $9.15 over the course of a year, and the stock paid a dividend of $0.60 per share during the same year. What was the total return on the share of stock
Answer:
8.3%
Explanation:
total return on the share stock=(Increase in share price + dividend paid)/share price at beginning of the year
Total return on the share of stock=((9.15-9)+.6)/9
Total return on the share of stock=8.3%
Shares are a part of company's capital which grows along with the performance of the company .
Here the company's stock gave returns of close to 7.7% over the year with a total return of $0.75 over last 1 year.
The total return can be calculated as 0.75$ (0.15 +0.60) and can be obtained by taking 9$ as base price
9/9.75x100-100=7.7%
Dividend yield of a share is determined by its price (face value) and dividend declared after investing such amount.And the price of a stock thus listed changes as a result of reaction to company's performance w.r.t. sales profits and revenues, etc and other such external factors
It is advisable for retail investors to do their own research before investing in any company and not just look at the past history of the company
The stock of the company gave returns of close to 7.7% after a rise in its price by 0.15 and a dividend of 0.60.

SGA Consulting had a FCFE of $3.2M according to the just released financial statement and has 3.2M shares outstanding. SGA's required return on equity is 13%, and WACC is 11.5%. If FCFE is expected to grow at 8.5% forever, the intrinsic value of SGA's shares is
Answer:
The value of Equity is $77.16 million and the value per share is $24.11
Explanation:
The FCFE or free cash flow to equity can be used to calculate the intrinsic value of a company using the discounted cash flow approach. As the growth rate in FCFE is constant, the terminal value of the future FCFEs can be calculated as follows,
Value of Equity = FCFE * (1+g) / r - g
Value of Equity = 3.2 * (1+0.085) / (0.13 - 0.085)
Value of Equity = $77.16 million
The intrinsic value per share = 77.16 / 3.2 = $24.11 per share
The intrinsic value of a share of SGA Consulting is calculated as $19.23 per share using the Gordon Growth Model, which uses the Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE), the growth rate, and the required return on equity.
Explanation:The intrinsic value of SGA's shares can be calculated using the Gordon Growth Model, which is used to determine the intrinsic value of a stock based on a future series of dividends that grow at a constant rate. Given that the Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) is $3.2 million, the growth rate ('g') is 8.5%, and the required return on equity ('k') is 13%. The formula is as follows: Value = FCFE * (1 + g) / (k - g).
Substituting the given values in, we get: Value = 3.2M * (1 + 0.085) / (0.13 - 0.085) = $61.54M
To find the value per share, we simply divide this value by the number of shares outstanding - 3.2M. So, Value per share = 61.54M / 3.2M = $19.23 per share

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note: $634,624.76 $895,940.83 $746,617.36 $470,368.94 Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statement: The T-note described in this problem is selling at a .
Answer:
$746,617.36
Explanation:
Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate the price of the US Treasury note. I'm using Texas Instruments BA II Plus model;
Face value of the bond ; FV = 1,000,000
Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = Coupon rate * Face value ;
PMT= (3%/2) *1,000,000 = 15,000
Time to maturity of the note ; N = 4*2 = 8
Semiannual interest rate; I/Y = 11% /2 = 5.5%
then compute the Present value of bond or price; CPT PV = $746,617.36
The value of the $1,000,000 semiannual coupon US Treasury note with a coupon rate of 3% is (A) $634,624.76 given a YTM of 11%. This bond is selling at a discount compared to its par value of $1,000,000.
To calculate the value of the treasury note, we need to use the present value formula for each cash flow. This bond pays a semiannual coupon of 3% annual coupon rate, which means $30,000 every six months on a $1,000,000 par value bond. The yield to maturity (YTM) is 11%, which is 5.5% per six months.
Steps to Calculate:
Calculate the semiannual coupon payment:Using these calculations, the bond's value is approximately $634,624.76. Therefore, the T-note described in this problem is selling at a discount.
