Explanation:
The Herfindahl index is an index that is used to measure the size of firms in relation to the industry and it also shows the level of competition among the firms in the industry. The Herfindahl index is also known as Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI).
The Herfindahl index is calculated by summing the square of the market share of all firms in the industry. For this question, it can be calculated as follows:
Herfindahl index = (12^2 * 5) + (8^2 * 5) = 720 + 320 = 1,040.
Rockville Corporation is going to borrow $250,000 from its bank at an APR of 8.5 percent. The bank requires its customers to maintain a 10 percent compensating balance. What is the effective interest rate on this bank loan? Round to 4 decimal places and enter percentages as a decimal
Answer: 0.0944 ( 4 dp)
Explanation:
To calculate the effective interest rate we will go in stages.
First we calculate the compensated balance deposit of 10%,
= 250,000*10%
= $,25,000
Subtracting it from the loan amount will give us the effective borrowing.
Effective borrowing = 250,000-25,000
= $225,000
Then we find out the interest expense on the original amount which is,
Interest expense = Amount borrowed * Interest rate
= 250,000*8.5%
= $21,250
The reason we calculated the above is because we need that figure in the effective interest rate formula which goes like,
Effective interest rate = Interest expense / Effective borrowing amount
= 21,250/225,000
= 0.094444444
= 0.0944
Effective interest rate is 0.0944 ( 4 dp)
Answer:
9.4%
Explanation:
Compensating balance amount = $250,000 * 10% = $25,000
Interest expenses = $250,000 * 8.5% = 21,250
Effective interest rate = $21,250/($250,000 - $25,000) = 0.0944, or 9.4%
Therefor, the effective interest rate is 9.4%.
Note: The effective interest rate of 9.4% is higher than the APR of 8.5% because of the compensating balance.
Allison's is expected to have annual free cash flow of $62,000, $65,400, and $68,900 for the next three years, respectively. After that, the free cash flow is expected to increase at a constant rate of 2 percent per year. At a discount rate of 14.5 percent, what is the present value of this firm?
Answer:
Present value of the firm = $ 524,467.50
Explanation:
Using the free cash flow, the value of a firm is the the present value of the free cash discounted at the appropriate cost of capital.
Year PV
1 62,000× (1.145)^(-1) = 54,148.47162
2 65,400 × (1.145)^(-2) = 49,884.63225
3 68,900 × (1,145)^(-3) = 45, 898.95119
4 to infinity ( see working below) $374,535.44
Workings
Present value from Year 4 to infinity (this will be done in two steps)
Step 1
PV in year 3 = FCF × (1+g)/(WACC- g)
FCF -68,900, g =2%, WACC - 14.5%
= ( 68,900 × 1.02(/0.145-0.02)
= $562,224.00
Step 2
PV in year 0 = PV in year 3 × (1+r)^(-3)
= $562,224.00 × (1.145^(-3)
= $374,535.44
The present value of Allison =
54,148.47 + 49,884.63 +45,898.95 +374,535.44
= $ 524,467.50
Present value of the firm = $ 524,467.50
ABC manufacturing co has estimated breakeven volume of 50,000 units for its new widget. If $unit variable cost is $23.00 and unit selling price is $25.00, what is the total fixed cost?
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
Data provided
Break-even volume = 50,000 units
Variable cost = $23.00
Unit selling price = $25.00
The computation of fixed cost is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= ($25 - $23)
= $2
Break even point = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
Fixed cost = Break even point × Contribution margin per unit
= 50,000 × 2
= $100,000
Suppose your company needs $12 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt−equity ratio is .5. The flotation cost for new equity is 12 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 9 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.
a. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Weighed average flotation cost %
b. What is the true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar, e.g. 1,234,567.)
True cost $
Answer: Weighted average floatation curve is 11.00%
True cost is $14,483,146.
Explanation:
Weighted average floatation cost is equal to weighted average of the floatation costs for debt and equity.
Let the equity be 1%
Given that debt to equity ratio is equal to 0.5%
Debt/Equity is 0.5
Debt/1= 0.5
Debt= 0.50 × 1.00 = 0.50
Assumed value:
For debt= 0.50
For equity = 1.00
Totals= 1.50
For weight (a):
Debt= 0.33
Equity= 0.67
Totals= 1.00
For costs(b)
Debt= 9%
Equity= 12%
Weighted cost (a) × (b)
Debt= 0.33 × 9= 2.97 appr= 3.00
Equity= 0.67 ×12= 8.04 appr= 8.00
Totals = 3. 00 + 8.00= 11.00%
B.
True cost is the defined as the difference between the market price of a product and the comprehensive cost of that product to society. The term is normally used to draw attention to missing or hidden or minute costs that are not found in the market price, even though it could theoretically apply to hidden benefits as well.
True cost is equal to total cost of new assembly line including floatation cost.
True cost × (1 - 11%) = $12,000,000
True cost × (1- 0.11)= $12,000,000
True cost × (0.89) = $12,000,000
True cost = $12,000,000/ 0.89
True cost= $13,483,146.
Final answer:
The weighted average flotation cost would be 12%, which is the flotation cost for new equity, since all funds are being raised through equity. The true cost of building the new assembly line, after accounting for flotation costs, is $13,636,364.
Explanation:
To calculate the weighted average flotation cost when all equity is raised externally, we first need to understand the proportion of funding that would come from equity and from debt based on the target debt-equity ratio of 0.5. This ratio indicates that for every dollar of equity, there is $0.5 of debt. However, because the company has decided to raise all of the $12 million through equity, the weight of the debt is 0 and the weight of the equity is 1. Therefore, the weighted average flotation cost would be the flotation cost for equity, which is 12%, since no debt will be issued.
Next, to calculate the true cost of building the new assembly line after taking into account flotation costs, we can use the following formula: True Cost = Required funds / (1 - Flotation Cost). Since the company is using only equity financing and the flotation cost is 12%, the true cost would be $12 million / (1 - 0.12) = $13.63636364 million. We need to round this to the nearest whole dollar, resulting in a true cost of $13,636,364.
ordan Electronics currently produces the shipping containers it uses to deliver the electronics products it sells. The monthly cost of producing 9,200 containers follows. Unit-level materials $ 5,800 Unit-level labor 6,400 Unit-level overhead 3,900 Product-level costs* 9,600 Allocated facility-level costs 26,600 *One-third of these costs can be avoided by purchasing the containers. Russo Container Company has offered to sell comparable containers to Jordan for $2.80 each. Required Calculate the total relevant cost. Should Jordan continue to make the containers
Final answer:
Jordan Electronics should continue to make the containers, as the total relevant cost of making them ($19,300) is less than buying them from Russo Container Company ($25,760).
Explanation:
To calculate the total relevant cost for Jordan Electronics to decide whether to make or buy the shipping containers, we need to consider only the costs that will change based on the decision. The costs provided are as follows:
Unit-level materials: $5,800
Unit-level labor: $6,400
Unit-level overhead: $3,900
Product-level costs: $9,600 (only one-third is avoidable if buying, so the relevant portion is $3,200)
Allocated facility-level costs: $26,600 (non-relevant as they are likely fixed and allocated broadly across the company's products)
If Jordan Electronics buys the containers from Russo Container Company at $2.80 each for 9,200 containers, the total cost would be 9,200 containers × $2.80 = $25,760. Therefore, the relevant cost of buying is $25,760.
Now, let's calculate the relevant cost of making the containers:
Unit-level materials: $5,800
Unit-level labor: $6,400
Unit-level overhead: $3,900
Relevant product-level costs: $3,200
The total relevant cost of making the containers is $5,800 + $6,400 + $3,900 + $3,200 = $19,300. Since the cost of making ($19,300) is less than buying ($25,760), Jordan Electronics should continue to produce the containers in-house.
Jordan Electronics should purchase the containers from Russo Container Company as the total cost of purchasing ($25,760) is lower than the total relevant cost of making ($45,900).
1. Calculate the total unit-level costs for producing 9,200 containers:
Unit-level materials + Unit-level labor + Unit-level overhead = $5,800 + $6,400 + $3,900 = $16,100
2. Calculate the avoidable product-level costs:
One-third of product-level costs = $9,600 × (1/3) = $3,200
3. Calculate the total relevant cost of making the containers:
Total relevant cost = Unit-level costs + Avoidable product-level costs + Allocated facility-level costs
Total relevant cost = $16,100 + $3,200 + $26,600 = $45,900
4. Calculate the cost of purchasing containers from Russo Container Company:
Cost per container = $2.80
Total cost of purchasing 9,200 containers = Cost per container * Number of containers
Total cost of purchasing containers = $2.80 ×9,200 = $25,760
5. Compare the total relevant cost of making with the cost of purchasing:
Total relevant cost of making = $45,900
Total cost of purchasing = $25,760
Since the total cost of purchasing ($25,760) is lower than the total relevant cost of making ($45,900), Jordan Electronics should purchase the containers from Russo Container Company instead of continuing to make them.

The units can be sold as scrap for $3.70 per unit or reworked at an additional cost of $2.20 and sold at full price of $11.10. The incremental net income (loss) from the choice of reworking the units would be: Multiple Choice $2,200. $0. $8,900. $3,700. ($2,200).
Answer:
the incremental net income from reworking the units would be $8,900
Explanation:
Consider the incremental costs and revenues arising on reworking the units
Note : Manufacturing costs already incurred on the defective units are sunk costs and are therefore irrelevant for this decision.
Sales (1,000×$11.10) $11,100
Less Costs to of reworking (1,000×$2.20) ($2,200)
Net Income $8,900
Therefore, the incremental net income from reworking the units would be $8,900

The following is not a category of facts that provide verification of the level of control and independence in determining whether the person is an employee or an independent contractor for the managing broker.
a. Length of relationship
b. Type of relationship
c. Financial Behavioral
Final answer:
The question pertains to distinguishing an employee from an independent contractor using various factors. Option 'c' in the question, 'Financial Behavioral,' is incorrect as the recognized categories are Behavioral Control, Financial Control, and Type of Relationship, which includes consideration of the length of the relationship.
Explanation:
The question addresses the determination of employment status, specifically the criteria used to distinguish between an employee and an independent contractor in the context of property management or real estate business. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various employment laws, there are several factors to consider when determining whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor. These factors are generally categorized under three main headings:
Behavioral control (how much control the business has over the work done)Financial control (how the business aspects of the worker’s job are handled)Type of relationship (how the worker and business perceive their interaction)However, option 'c' in the given question mentions 'Financial Behavioral' which is not a recognized category. The correct categories are Behavioral Control, Financial Control, and Type of Relationship. The length of the relationship may also be considered, but it falls under the broader 'type of relationship' category.
If a bond is currently trading at its face (par) value, then it must be the case that: A. the bond's yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate. B. the bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
Answer:
A) the bond's yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate
Explanation:
If the bonds yield to maturity is equal to its coupon rate it means that the interest paid by the buyers on the face value of the bond is equal to the internal rate of return for the present value of future cash flow. Only in this scenario, a bond is traded at its face or par value.
Imagine that you are holding 5,100 shares of stock, currently selling at $30 per share. You are ready to sell the shares but would prefer to put off the sale until next year due to tax reasons. If you continue to hold the shares until January, however, you face the risk that the stock will drop in value before year-end. You decide to use a collar to limit downside risk without laying out a good deal of additional funds. January call options with a strike price of $35 are selling at $1, and January puts with a strike price of $25 are selling at $2. What will be the value of your portfolio in January (net of the proceeds from the options) if the stock price ends up at $21, $30, $41? What will the value of your portfolio be if you simply continued to hold the shares?
Answer:
If stock is continued to hold $107,100, $153,000, $209,100.
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the value of your portfolio if u simply continued to hold the shares.
The stock holding = 5100
the current price = 30
The value of the portfolio is = 5100 * 30 =$ 153,000
The strike price= $21
The portfolio value is = 5100 * $21 = $107,100
The stock price = 5100 * $41 = $209,100
Thus,
The value of the portfolio calculation (net option proceed)
The current price =$30
Value of portfolio = Holding value + received from call option + paid to buy option
=5100 * 30 + 5100 * 1-5100 * 2
= $147,900
The strike price = $21
The January stock price = $ 25
The profit of option selling = $25 -$21 = $4 * 5100 = $20, 400
Value of portfolio = Holding value + received from call option + paid to buy option
= 5100 * 21 + 5100 * 1-5100 *2 + $20,400
which is = $122,400
Then,
The strike price = $4
The selling option loss = $41-$35= $6 * 5100 = $30,600
Value of portfolio = Holding value + received from call option + paid to buy option
which is = 5100 * 41 + 5100 * 1-5100 * 2 + $30,600
= $173, 400
Therefore
Stock price $21 $30 $41
if collar used $122,400 $147,900 $173,400
If stock is continued to hold stocks$107,100 $153,000 $209,100
A manufacturer has budgeted sales for the first quarter of the next year to be 35 comma 000 units. The inventory in hand at the beginning of quarter is 3 comma 000 units. The desired ending inventory is 5 comma 000 units. Calculate the budgeted production for the quarter.
Answer:
Production= 37,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Budgeted sales= 35,000 units
Beginning invnetory= 3,000
Desired ending inventory= 5,000
To calculate the required production, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 35,000 + 5,000 - 3,000
Production= 37,000 units

ash Flows from Investing Activities During the year, Murray Company sold equipment with a book value of $125,000 for $175,000 (original purchase cost of $225,000). New equipment was purchased. Murray provided the following comparative balance sheets: Murray Company Comparative Balance Sheets At December 31, 20X1 and 20X2 20X1 20X2 Long-Term Assets Plant and equipment $1,000,000 $1,025,000 Accumulated depreciation (500,000) (525,000) Land 500,000 725,750 Required: Calculate the investing cash flows for the current year. Use a minus sign to indicate a cash outflow.
To calculate the cash flows from investing activities for Murray Company, we calculate the gain from the sale of equipment and the cash spent on new equipment purchases. The net cash inflow from investing activities is $150,000, resulting from a $175,000 inflow from the sale and a $25,000 outflow for purchases.
Calculating Investing Cash Flows
Calculating the cash flows from investing activities involves determining the cash spent on new investments and the proceeds from the sale of existing assets. The book value and sale price of the equipment provide a gain, influencing net cash flow. Moreover, changes in balance sheet items point to the purchase of new assets.
Sale of Equipment
Murray Company sold equipment with a book value of $125,000 for $175,000, which would result in a gain of $50,000 ($175,000 - $125,000). This gain impacts the net cash provided by investing activities.
Purchase of New Equipment
Comparing the balance sheets for two consecutive years, we see an increase in plant and equipment from $1,000,000 to $1,025,000, indicating a purchase of $25,000 ($1,025,000 - $1,000,000). Additionally, the accumulated depreciation increased by $25,000 ($525,000 - $500,000), which does not impact cash flows.
Investing Cash Flow Summary
The net cash used for investing activities is therefore calculated as the cash outflow for new equipment purchases minus the cash inflow from the sale of equipment. This is $25,000 (purchase) - $175,000 (sale proceeds), resulting in a net cash inflow from investing activities of $150,000.
On January 1, Year 3, Wayfarer Co.'s assets were $365,000 and its stockholders' equity was $153,000. During the year, assets increased $21,500 and liabilities decreased $23,000. Required: Determine the amount of stockholders' equity at December 31, Year 3.
Final answer:
Stockholders' equity at December 31, Year 3 is determined to be $197,500. This is calculated by adding the initial equity to the net increase in assets and decrease in liabilities over the year.
Explanation:
The calculation of stockholders' equity at the end of Year 3 can be determined using the basic accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity. We know that at the start of the year, Wayfarer Co. had assets of $365,000 and stockholders' equity of $153,000. During the year, assets increased by $21,500 and liabilities decreased by $23,000.
To find the stockholders' equity at the end of the year, we adjust the initial equity balance by the change in assets and liabilities. The new value of assets at year-end is $365,000 (beginning assets) + $21,500 (increase in assets) = $386,500. Given that liabilities decreased, this change will directly increase stockholders' equity. So, the change in equity is the increase in assets of $21,500 plus the decrease in liabilities of $23,000, totaling $44,500.
The new stockholders' equity is $153,000 (initial equity) + $44,500 (change in equity) = $197,500 at December 31, Year 3.
The budgeted production of Capricorn, Inc. is 10,000 units per month. Each unit requires 20 minutes of direct labor to complete. The direct labor rate is $100 per hour. Calculate the budgeted cost of direct labor for the month. (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
The budgeted cost of direct labor for the month is $333,333.
Explanation:
This question can be solved using rules of three.
The direct labor rate is $100 per hour.
Each unit requires 20 minutes of direct labor to complete.
An hour has 60 minutes, so in an hour, 60/20 = 3 units can be made.
This means that the cost of 3 units is $100.
10,000 units per month.
How much do 10,000 units cost?
3 units - 100
10,000 units - $x
[tex]3x = 10000*100[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{10000*100}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 333333[/tex]
The budgeted cost of direct labor for the month is $333,333.

Crane WaterWorks manufactures snorkel gear. During the past month, Washington purchased 4,130 pounds of plastic to use in its dive masks, at a cost of $5,972. The standard price for the plastic is $1.433 per pound. The company actually used 4,060 pounds of the plastic to produce 18,500 dive masks.
a.Calculate crane waterworks direct materials price variance for the month.
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $53.69 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual purchase= 4,130 pounds of plastic
Actual cost= $5,972 (total)
The standard price for the plastic is $1.433 per pound.
The company used 4,060 pounds of the plastic to produce 18,500 dive masks.
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Actual price= 5,972/4,130= $1.446
Direct material price variance= (1.433 - 1.446)*4,130= $53.69 unfavorable

Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 8.00 Overhead 9.00 Total costs per unit $ 22.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 50,000 units of RX5 for $18.00 per unit. Required: 1. Calculate the incremental costs of making and buying component RX5.
Answer:
It is cheaper to buy the product than producing it.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 50,000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor 8.00 Overhead 9.00 Total costs per unit $ 22.00 Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. The Overhead is 80% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 50,000 units of RX5 for $18.00 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the total cost of making the product:
The total cost of producing 50,000 units:
Direct material= 50,000*5= 250,000
Direct labor= 50,000*8= 400,000
Total overhead= 50,000*9= 450,000
Total cost= 1,100,000
Total cost of purchasing:
Buying= 50,000*18= 900,000
Unavoidable overhead= 50,000*(9*0.2)= 90,000
Total cost= 990,000
It is cheaper to buy the product than producing it.
Suppose a seven-year, $ 1 comma 000 bond with a 7.8 % coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.50 %.If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.20 % (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for?
Answer:
The price of the bond is 1,072.19
Explanation:
The price at which the bond trades for can be computed using the pv formula in excel which tries to discount to present value all the cash inflows receivable from the bond into today's present worth.
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the yield to maturity of 6.50% divided by 2 since the bond pays interest semi-annually i.e 3.25%
nper is the number of coupon payments the bond would pay which is 7 years multiplied by 2 i.e 14
pmt is the semi-annual interest of the bond which is $1000*7.8%/2=$39
the fv is the face value of the bond of $1000
=-pv(6.5%/2,14,39,1000)=$1,072.19

A large stock dividend is a distribution of more than 25% of previously outstanding shares.
A stock dividend commonly indicates management's confidence that the company is doing well.
The account Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is always credited when a large stock dividend is declared.
The payment date reflects the date a cash dividend is paid to stockholders.
Answer:
A large stock dividend is a distribution of more than 25% of previously outstanding shares.
The account Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is always credited when a large stock dividend is declared.
Explanation:
A dividend is considering parsing or separating out profit sharing. A dividend has also, tax rate. For example, there is sometimes in the world situation where we get to see increasing of values of stock and in that time, shareholder can choose what he will do. He can sell the stock and if he does that, he will have to play a tax on capital gains.
So, if someone is sharing a dividend stock, he will be paid an amount of money that the company will earn in the meantime. Companies can device when and how will they pay their dividends.
Large stock dividends, the use of dividends as signals of corporate health, and the significance of the payment date in cash dividends are all correctly described statements. However, it's not always the case that the account Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is credited when a large stock dividend is declared.
Explanation:The following statements are true:
A large stock dividend is indeed defined as a distribution of more than 25% of previously outstanding shares. The company issues additional shares to stockholders relative to the shares those stockholders already own. A stock dividend can indicate management's confidence in the company's well-being. It's a way of returning profits back to shareholders, which is often seen as a positive signal of the company's financial health. The payment date does reflect the day a cash dividend is paid to stockholders. It's the date on which the company actually dispatches the dividend to the shareholders.However, the statement that the account Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value is always credited when a large stock dividend is declared is not necessarily true. This account represents the amount received from the issue of stock that is above its par value, but whether it is credited or not depends on the specific accounting practices of the company.

Suppose government spending increases. True or False: The effect on aggregate demand would be larger if the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response than if the Fed were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
When the government increases spending, aggregate demand increases. This leads to increase in demand of money.
If federal reserve holds money supply constant in this case, interest rate will increase. This will lead to 'crowding out' of private investment; & the total effect of government investment increase on AD is lesser.
If government keeps the interest rate constant, the private investment 'crowding out' effect will not occur. No private investment crowding out effect, & the total effect of government investment increase on AD is lesser.
So; The effect on aggregate demand would be lesser if the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response than if the Fed were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate.
In order to compare the efficiencies of media, Derek calculates the CPM for each. For Golf Digest, the circulation is 500,000 and the cost for a full page ad is $40,000. The CPM for Golf Digest is:
Answer:
$80
Explanation:
CPM is the short form for 'cost per a thousand impressions.' Cost per thousand is a marketing expression used to refer to the cost of reaching 1000 readers, viewers, listeners, or webpage visitors. CPM is, therefore, the cost of advertising to an audience of 1000 people.
The Golf Digest has a circulation of 500,000. The cost of advertising is $40,000, which means the cost of reaching 500,000 people $40,000.
To get CPM, we first divide 500,000 by 1,000
=500,000 / 1,000
=500
CPM will be
= $40,000/500

Livingston Fabrication has created the following aggregate plan for the next 5 months (see PDF): Assume that Livingston will have nothing in inventory at the end of July. Livingston employs 500 production assembly workers and it takes one production assembly worker 3 minutes to assemble one unit of finished good. (The unit is complete at that point.) Each production assembly worker can provide 160 hours of assembly time a month without requiring overtime pay. a. Livingston wants to complete this plan without working any overtime in assembly. How many additional production assembly workers does Livingston need to hire to accomplish this? When should they be hired? b. Using this production plan, how many units will be in inventory at the end of October? c. What will the average inventory level be each month?
Answer:
Explanation:
worker's production rate = 60/3 = 20units per hour
monthly capacity 160 x 20 = 3200 units.
capacity needed to produce 2000000 units
= 2000000/3200
= 625
therefore, since they already have 500 workers, they need to hire 125 more workers.
b) At the end of October they will have 2 million inventory.
c) Average inventory in each of the months has been listed in the attachment below.
Cody Enterprises purchased equipment for $64,000. In addition, shipping charges of $800 were incurred to obtain the equipment. The company paid $5,000 to construct a foundation and install the equipment. The equipment is estimated to have a residual value of $6,000 at the end of its 5-year useful life. Use the information above to answer the following question. Using the straight-line method, what is the book value of the equipment at the end of the third full year of use
Answer:
$12,760
Explanation:
The calculation of book value of the equipment at the end is shown below:-
Depreciation expense each year = Cost - Salvage ÷ Life
= ($64,000 + $800 + 5,000) - $6,000 ÷ 5
= $69,800 - $6,000 ÷ 5
= $63,800 - $1,200
= $12,760
Therefore for computing the depreciation each year we simply applied the above formula.

Ace Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $ 1 comma 418 comma 000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $ 330 comma 000 the first year, $ 290 comma 000 the second year, and $ 230 comma 000 each year thereafter for eight years. Compute the payback period. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
5.47 years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is shown below:
In year 0 = $1,418,000
In year 1 = $330,000
In year 2 = $290,000
In year 3 = $230,000
In year 4 = $230,000
In year 5 = $230,000
In year 6 = $230,000
In year 7 = $230,000
In year 8 = $230,000
In year 9 = $230,000
In year 10 = $230,000
If we add the first 5-year cash inflows, that will be $1,310,000 So we subtract the $1,310,000 from the $1,418,000, then the balance will be $108,000 as though we applied the six-year cash inflow to the original investment, and the cumulative sum exceeds. So, we subtract it And the cash inflow next year is $230,000
So, the payback period equal to
= 5 years + $108,000 ÷ $230,000
= 5.47 years
