Sevenbergen Corporation makes one product and has provided the following information to help prepare the master budget for the next four months of operations: Budgeted selling price per unit $ 92 Budgeted unit sales (all on credit): July 9,000 August 11,300 September 10,400 October 10,800 Raw materials requirement per unit of output 4 pounds Raw materials cost $ 1.00 per pound Direct labor requirement per unit of output 2.8 direct labor-hours Direct labor wage rate $ 22.00 per direct labor-hour Variable selling and administrative expense $ 1.50 per unit sold Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 70,000 per month Credit sales are collected: 40% in the month of the sale 60% in the following month Raw materials purchases are paid: 30% in the month of purchase 70% in the following month The ending finished goods inventory should equal 20% of the following month's sales. The ending raw materials inventory should equal 30% of the following month’s raw materials production needs. If 41,920 pounds of raw materials are required for production in September, then the budgeted raw material purchases for August is closest to: Multiple Choice 57,056 pounds 44,480 pounds 43,712 pounds 70,400 pounds
Answer:
The answer is 43,712
Explanation:
We have:
Beginning finished good of August: 20% of budgeted sales in August = 20% x 11,300 = 2,260 units
Ending finished good of August : 20% of budgeted units required in September = 20% x 10,400 = 2,080 units
=> Units of finished goods to be produced in August = Unit sold - Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory = 11,300 - 2,260 + 2,080 = 11,120 => Raw material for finished good in August = 4 * 11,120 = 44,480
Beginning Raw material for August = Raw material needed for August x 30% = 44,480 * 30% = 13,344
Ending Raw Material for August = Raw material needed for September x 30% = 41,920 x 30% = 12,576
=> Purchases of raw material in August = Raw material for finished good in August - Beginning Raw material for August + Ending Raw Material for August) = 44,480 - 13,344 + 12,576 = 43,712 pounds

Lumeris Inc., an automobile manufacturer, has an inflexible work schedule and requires its workers to work nine hours a day and six days a week. Its laborers do not have adequate skills to perform their job efficiently. The inflexible work schedule and inadequate labor skills are examples of _____.
a. physical constraints
b. nonphysical constraints
c. bottleneck activities
d. work order
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": nonphysical constraints.
Explanation:
According to the Theory of Constraints (TOC) a constraint is a limiting factor that does not enable companies to perform their work at their maximum capacity for their goals' achievement. In the same sense, nonphysical constraints are not material factors negatively influencing employees' actions. Wages cuts, reduction of benefits, unclear lines of command are examples of that kind of constraint.
Each of the following parts describes a firm that was an early mover in its market. In light of the information provided, indicate whether the firm’s position as an early mover is likely to be the basis of a sustainable competitive advantage, and explain why or why not.A firm has a 60% share of T3MP, a commodity chemical used to make industrial solvents. Minimum efficient scale is thought to be 50% of current market demand. Recently, a change in environmental regulation has dramatically raised the price of a substitute chemical that indirectly competes with T3MP. This undermines the market for the substitute, which is about twice the size of the market for T3MP.
Answer:
Check the following explanation
Explanation:
Let us consider Porter’s Five forces strategy, in analyzing the particular scenario of Bank and that of the firm which produces T3MP chemical.
As the bank is an early mover in the issuance of ATM cards, the bank definitely got the competitive advantage. As an early mover, the bank faced very low threat of new entrants with regard to distribution of ATM cards. Therefore, the bank could capture a large area of urban region. Also, the switching cost for bank customers is quite high and in the case of banks, generally the individual customers prefer to stick to one or two banks. As an early mover, this was definitely an advantage to the bank. As a result, the bank also got a loyal customer base in the long run. When the brand loyalty was combined with the high switching cost of bank products; in terms of ATM, the entry of a potential competitor was difficult for the bank. Since the ATM cards are unique to each customer and bank, the ATM products adopts a generic differentiation strategy in terms of technology and point of locations. The place is definitely a competitive advantage of bank ATMs and being an early mover, they could capture a large share of customers in the urban areas.
As the ATM cards are specially made for the particular banks, they are definitely a tool for gaining advantage over the competitors. Hence the bank enjoys a definitive leadership in terms of its competitive advantage as an early mover where it could capture a large urban area, and in terms of technology where one bank’s ATM card doesn’t fit into another.
In the case of second firm, which has a 60 percent share of T3MP, faces the threat from substitute products. But T3MP has got the competitive advantage over its substitute product, due to the low bargaining power of customers. T3MP seems to have only a major substitute, whose market share seemed to have dented by the increase in price of the substitute. The low price of T3MP compared to the substitute is definitely a competitive advantage for the firm. This would decrease the competition from the substitute product which in turn will increase the sale of T3MP. Further, the substitute won’t be able to limit the growth of T3MP by setting a sealing price. The firm could increase its marginal returns through increased sale of T3MP. Thus the firm could capture the market share of the substitute which is twice as that of T3MP and could increase its revenue and earning potential.

Jiffy Co. expects to pay a dividend of $3.00 per share in one year. The current price of Jiffy common stock is $60 per share. Flotation costs are $3.00 per share when Jiffy issues new stock. What is the cost of internal common equity (retained earnings) if the longminusterm growth in dividends is projected to be 8 percent indefinitely
Answer:
B13%, explained below:
Explanation:
Flotaion cost doesn't impact the cost of existing equity and it only impact the cost of new equity. The question asks about cost of existing equity, hence
Cost of equity ={ Expected dividend in one year/ Stock price} + growth rate = 3 /60% + 8%
Cost of existing equity (Retained earnings) = 13%

Cardinal Company s considering a project that would require a $2,782,000 Investment in equlpment with a useful life of five years. At the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equlpment would be sold for its salvage value of $200,000 The company's discount rate ls 18%. The project would provide net operating income each year as follows: 2,873,000 Sales Variable expenses 1,019,000 1,854,000 Contribution margin Fixed expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other 754,000 fixed out-of-pocket costs 516,400 Depreciation Total fixed expenses 1,270,400 583,600 Net operating income13. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the project’s actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
Project's net present value is: $-1,725,937.
Explanation:
Project actual variable cost = 45% x sales = $1,292,850 ( as variable expense ratio post-audit turns out to be 45%).
Actual net operating income each year = Sales - Variable cost - total fixed expenses = $309,750.
Thus, cash flows of the project will be:
Year 0: $-2,782,000.
Year 1 to Year 4: $309,750.
Year 5: 309,750 + 200,000 (salvage value of equipment) = $509,750
NPV of the project = -2,782,000 + [ (309,750/18%) x ( 1 - 1.18^-4) ] + 509,750/1.18^5 = $-1,725,937.
The Cardinal Company's project's actual net present value (NPV), considering the actual variable expense ratio of 45%, turns out to be -$1,743,727. This is calculated by revising the net operating income (NOI), calculating its present value over five years, and subtracting the net initial investment.
Explanation:In this scenario, Cardinal Company needs to evaluate its project using the actual variable expense ratio to find out the project's actual net present value (NPV). The initial variable expenses are $1,019,000, but with a new variable expense ratio of 45%, the actual variable expenses turn out to be $2,873,000 * 45% = $1,292,850. This change would decrease the contribution margin and thus the net operating income (NOI). The altered NOI is $2,873,000 - $1,292,850 - $1,270,400 = $309,750.
We need to calculate the present value of this annual NOI for five years and then subtract the net initial investment to find the actual NPV. Using a discount rate of 18%, the present value of the NOI over the five years is $309,750 * (1 - (1 + 18%)^-5) / 18% = $838,273. The net initial investment is $2,782,000 - $200,000 (salvage value) = $2,582,000. Hence, the actual NPV of the project is $838,273 - $2,582,000 = -$1,743,727, indicating a substantial loss to the company.

The SP Corporation makes 40,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is:
Direct materials $ 9.90
Direct labor $ 8.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.65
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.60
An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to SP Corporation for this motor is $25.15. If SP Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be:

Purchase: 40,000 motors at 25.15 = 1,006,000
unavoidable fixed cost: 40,000 x 4.60 = 184,000
1,190,000.00
Produce option:
Manufacturing Cost (9.9 + 8.9 + 3.65) x 40,000 = 898,000.00
Fixed cost: 184,000.00
Total Cost 1,082,000.00
Differential: 1,190,000 - 1,082,000.00 = 108,000.00
It is advantageous to continue the production as the unavoidable cost will make the buy option a worse deal
Use the theory of comparative advantage to explain the way in which Logitech has configured its global operations. Why does the company manufacture in China and Taiwan, undertake basic R&D in California and Switzerland, design products in Ireland, and coordinate marketing and operations from California?
Answer:
Comparative advantage is defined as the quality of a firm or country to produce something at a lower economic oportunity cost than other firm.
These operations can be easily explained by defining the comparative advantages of each country.
Manufacturing in China and Taiwan - This two countries have a comparative advantage in manufacturing because of low labor costs, and great infraestructure (ports, trains, airports, facilities).
Basic R$D in California and Switzerland - Both regions have a comparative advantage in human capital. They have prestigious universities, and are at the forefront of scientific and technological research.
Design products in Ireland - Ireland also has good human capital, but perhaps not as good as California or Switzerland. Therefore, product design, which usually comes after basic research, is undertaken there.
Coordinates marketing and operations in California - California is a huge market, and being close to potential customers is always a comparative advantage for marketing and managerial operations.
Logitech has configured its global operations based on the theory of comparative advantage by allocating different stages of its production process to countries where they can be performed most efficiently and effectively.
Logitech manufactures its products in China and Taiwan because these countries offer a comparative advantage in manufacturing due to lower labor costs, established supply chains, and high production capacities. This allows Logitech to produce goods at a lower cost, which is crucial for price-competitive electronics.
Basic R D activities are conducted in California and Switzerland because these locations have a comparative advantage in research and development, with access to highly skilled labor, innovative environments, and strong intellectual property protection. California's Silicon Valley is a hub for technology innovation, while Switzerland has a reputation for high-quality research institutions.
Product design is centered in Ireland, which likely reflects Ireland's comparative advantage in design talent, possibly due to a favorable business environment, a skilled workforce, and government incentives for design and innovation. Ireland's corporate tax policies may also play a role in attracting such activities.
Marketing and operations are coordinated from California, where Logitech's headquarters are located. This centralization allows for better coordination and control of global operations. California's diverse and large market, along with its proximity to Silicon Valley's talent pool, provides a comparative advantage for managing global marketing and supply chain operations.
By leveraging the comparative advantages of different regions, Logitech maximizes its efficiency, reduces costs, and maintains a competitive edge in the global market. This strategic distribution of tasks across the globe enables the company to benefit from the unique strengths of each location, ultimately contributing to its overall success."

The common stock of Ecolab pays an annual dividend of $1.84 a share. The company has promised to maintain a constant dividend regardless of economic conditions. How much would investors be willing to pay for one share of Ecolab's stock assuming an equity cost of capital of 13.6%?
Answer:
$13.53
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Annual dividend per share, D0 = $1.84
Cost of capital, ke = 13.6% = 0.136
Now,
since,
the dividend remains the constant, the growth rate (g) of the dividend will be 0%
Also,
Current price = [ D0 × ( 1 + g ) ] ÷ [ ke - g ]
= [ $1.84 × ( 1 + 0% ) ] ÷ [ 13.6% - 0% ]
= $1.84 ÷ 0.136
= $13.53
You recently purchased a stock that is expected to earn 10 percent in a booming economy, 4 percent in a normal economy, and lose 4 percent in a recessionary economy. There is a 15 percent probability of a boom, a 70 percent chance of a normal economy, and a 15 percent chance of a recession. What is your expected rate of return on this stock? a. 1.85 percent b. 3.70 percent c. 10.00 percent d. 4.67 percent e. 3.33 percent
Answer:
b. 3.70 percent
Explanation:
Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities, is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.
Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)
Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%
Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%
Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%
Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;
= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%
= 3.7%
Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.

Last year, the House of Orange had sales of $826,650, net operating income of $81,000, and operating assets of $84,000 at the beginning of the year and $90,000 at the end of the year.
What was the company's turnover rounded to the nearest tenth?
A) 9.8
B) 10.2
C) 9.5
D) 9.2
Answer:
The company's turnover rounded to the nearest tenth: C) 9.5
Explanation:
Asset turnover helps investors understand how effectively companies are using their assets to generate sales. Asset turnover is calculated by using following formula:
Asset Turnover = Total Sales or Revenue/ Average Total Assets
where:
Average Total Assets = (Beginning Assets + Ending Assets )/2 = (Assets at the beginning of year +Assets at end of year )/2
In the House of Orange:
Average Total Assets = ($84,000 + $90,000)/2 = $87,000
Asset Turnover = $826,650/$87,000 = 9.5
Final answer:
The company's turnover is found by dividing sales by average operating assets. Sales were $826,650 and the average operating assets were $87,000, resulting in a turnover of approximately 9.5 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
Explanation:
To find the company's turnover, we need to use the formula for asset turnover ratio, which is calculated by dividing sales by average operating assets. For the House of Orange, the sales were $826,650, and the average operating assets are the average of the beginning and end of year assets, which are $84,000 at the beginning and $90,000 at the end. Thus, the average operating assets are calculated as ($84,000 + $90,000) / 2 = $87,000.
Now, we use the sales and average operating assets to find the turnover: Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets = $826,650 / $87,000 ≈ 9.506, which rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.5. So, the correct answer would be (C) 9.5.

The transactions for Piper Co. and Milwaukee Bucks involve recognizing sales and cost of goods sold, collecting and remitting sales tax, and recognizing unearned and actual revenue for advance ticket sales.
Explanation:On July 15, Piper Co. would make two entries: one for the cash received and one for the cost of the goods sold. The sales would amount to $10,000 and the sales tax collected would be $400 (4% of $10,000). The cost of goods sold is $5,000 so the first entry would debit Cash for $10,400, credit Sales for $10,000, and credit Sales Tax Payable for $400. The second entry would debit the Cost of Goods Sold and credit Inventory for $5,000.
On August 1, Piper Co. would record the sending of the sales tax to the government by debiting Sales Tax Payable for $400 and crediting Cash for $400.
On November 3, the Milwaukee Bucks would recognize the cash from the advance ticket sales but would record this as Unearned Revenue as the service (the games) have not yet been performed. So they would debit Cash for $300 and credit Unearned Revenue for $300.
On November 20, with the first game played, they would recognize one-sixth of the unearned revenue as actual revenue. They would debit Unearned Revenue for $50 and credit Game Revenue for $50.

The Z Corporation is considering an investment with the following data (Ignore income taxes.): Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Investment $ (32,000) $ (12,000) Cash inflow $ 8,000 $ 8,000 $ 20,000 $ 16,000 $ 16,000 Cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period for this investment is:
Answer:
3.5 yeas
Explanation:
In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:
In year 0 = $32,000
In year 0 = $12,000
In year 1 = $8,000
In year 2 = $8,000
In year 3 = $20,000
In year 4 = $16,000
In year 5 = $16,000
If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $36,000
Now we deduct the $36,000 from the $44,000 , so the amount would be $8,000 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it
And, the next year cash inflow is $16,000
So, the payback period equal to
= 3 years + $8,000 ÷ $16,000
= 3.5 yeas
In 3.5 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.

(Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)Statement of Cash FlowsCash flows from financing activities$ ...... ............. ............. ............ ........
Answer:
310500.
Explanation:
Given: Net income= 470000
Issued common stock= 72000
Paid cash dividend= 11000
Paid cash to settle a note payable= 125000
Paid for treasury stock= 121000
Purchased equipment= 87000
Cash flow from financial activities are the cash inflow that are used to fund company. Here we consider all financial activities which involve cash.
We add all cash inflow from issuing debt and equity then deduct all cash outflow from stock repurchase, cash paid in dividend and other financial activities.
Cash flow from financial activities (CFF)= [tex](470000+72000)-11000-125000-121000-87000[/tex]
Cash flow from financial activities (CFF)= [tex](542000)-(231500)= 310500[/tex]

Greg purchased stock in Bear Stearns and Co. at a price of $88 per share one year ago. The
company was acquired by JP Morgan at a price of $11 per share. What is Gregʹs return on his
investment?
A) -87.50%
B) -113.75%
C) -100.62%
D) -96.25%
Answer:
A) -87.50%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on the investment is shown below:
= (Acquired price by JB Morgon - purchase price per share) ÷ (purchase price per share)
= ($11 per share - $88 per share) ÷ (88 per share)
= - ($77 per share) ÷ (88 per share)
= -87.50%
We simply take the difference of the price and then divide it with the purchase price per share so that the correct percentage can come.
Final answer:
Greg experienced a return on investment of -87.50% when Bear Stearns and Co. was acquired by JP Morgan at a much lower price than his original purchase price.
Explanation:
Greg's return on investment (ROI) is calculated by finding the percentage change from the original purchase price to the acquisition price. To find the ROI, we use the following formula:
ROI = ((Final Value of Investment - Initial Value of Investment) / Initial Value of Investment) * 100
Using the numbers given:
Initial Value = $88 per share
Final Value = $11 per share
ROI = (($11 - $88) / $88) * 100
Thus, ROI = ((-$77) / $88) * 100 = -87.5%
Therefore, Greg's return on his investment is -87.50%, which means he suffered a significant loss on his investment after the company was acquired.

A firm recently issued $1,000 par value, 20-year bonds with a coupon rate of 6% and semi-annual payments. The bonds sold at par value, but flotation costs amounted to 5% of par value. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 21%. What is the firm's cost of debt for these bonds?
a) 5.09%
b) 6.00%
c) 4.74%
d) 9.48%
e) 6.45%
Answer:
e) 6.45%
Explanation:
Since the coupons are paid semiannually, adjust the coupon payment(PMT), the time (N) of the bond.
You can solve for cost of debt using financial calculator with the following inputs;
Maturity of the bond; N = 20 *2 = 40
Face value; FV = 1000
Coupon payment; PMT = (6%/2) *1000 = 30
Price ; PV = -(1000 - floatation cost) = -(1000 - (5%*1000) = -950
then compute semiannual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 3.224%
Convert semiannual interest rate to annual rate to find the cost of debt;
3.224% *2 = 6.45%

(Enter your answers in thousands. Round "EPS" answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
To calculate Norstar Industries' earnings per share (EPS), we need to determine the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and divide the net income by this number.
Explanation:The first step in calculating Norstar Industries' earnings per share (EPS) is to determine the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
To do this, we start with the number of shares at the beginning of the year, add any shares issued or sold, and subtract any shares repurchased or retired. In this case, we have 1,110,000 shares at the beginning of the year, sold 95,000 shares in April, issued 108,000 shares in June, and no shares repurchased or retired.
Next, we divide the net income of $975,000 by the weighted average number of shares outstanding to calculate the EPS. The weighted average number of shares is (1,110,000 * 12) + (95,000 * 8) + (108,000 * 7) = 22,320,000 shares. Therefore, the EPS is $975,000 / 22,320,000 = $0.0436 per share.
