Answer:

Amount of three parts of investment are

72000, 16000 and 5000

Explanation:

We have given total investment = $93000

Let the investment made by three businessman are x , y and z

So [tex]x+y+z=93000[/tex]-----eqn 1

It is given interest rates are 8 % , 6% and 9 %

And time = 1 year

Total interest = $7170

So [tex]0.08x+0.06y+0.09z=7170[/tex]----eqn 2

It is given that interest from first investment is 6 times the interest from second investment

So [tex]0.08x=6\times 0.06y[/tex]

[tex]0.08x=0.36y[/tex] ----- eqn 3

After solving eqn 1 eqn 2 and eqn 3

x = 72000

Y = 16000

And z = 5000

To find the amounts of the three parts of the investment with different interest rates, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information and solve for the variables.

To find the amounts of the three parts of the investment, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information:

Let x be the amount invested at 8%, y be the amount invested at 6%, and z be the amount invested at 9%.

We know that

Solving this system of equations, we can find the values of x, y, and z. Once we have those values, we can determine the amounts of each part of the investment.

Answer:

(a) Maximum loss will be $16.65

(b) There will be loss of $24.35

(c) Upper break even level = $115.65

Lower break even level = $82.35

Explanation:

We have given strike price = $99

Call premium = $7.95

And put premium = $8.70

(a) Maximum loss is given by

Maximum loss = put premium + call premium = $7.95 + $8.70 = $16.65

(b) Selling price = $58

So profit/loss = $58 - $99 + $16.65 = -$24.35 ( negative sign indicates loss )

So there will be a loss of $24.35

(c) Upper break even level = $99+$16.65 = $115.65

Lower break even level = $99 - $16.65 = $82.35

A straddle on Walmart with September call and put options with a strike price of $99 has a maximum loss of $16.65. If Walmart is selling for $58 in September, you will lose the entire premium of $16.65. The break-even points for the straddle are $115.65 and $82.35.

A straddle is an options strategy where an investor holds positions in both a call option and a put option with the same strike price and expiration date. In this case, you establish a straddle on Walmart using the September call and put options with a strike price of $99. The call premium is $7.95 and the put premium is $8.70.

A) The most you can lose on this position is the combined premiums you paid for the call and put options, which is $7.95 + $8.70 = $16.65.

B) To calculate the profit or loss if Walmart is selling for $58 in September, you need to determine if the options are in-the-money or out-of-the-money. In this case, both the call and put options are out-of-the-money because the stock price is below the strike price. Therefore, both options will expire worthless and you will lose the entire premium you paid for them, which is $16.65.

C) The break-even points for the straddle can be calculated by adding or subtracting the premiums from the strike price. In this case, the break-even points are $99 + $16.65 = $115.65 and $99 - $16.65 = $82.35.

Answer:

equivalent untis Labor: 166,340

Explanation:

Under weighted average we don't make distinction between started and finished and just finished. Thus we work with finished and ending WIP only:

finished         162,000

ending   WIP    6,200 ending at 70% complete

Equivalent units for labor:

finished + percentage of completion ending units

162,000 + 6,200 x 70% = 166,340

Answer:

5.75%

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to find the yield-to-maturity (YTM) of current outstanding bond as below:

Bond market price = Coupon/(1 + YTM) + Coupon/(1 + YTM)^2 + Coupon/(1 + YTM)^3 +...+ Coupon/(1 + YTM)^20 + Face value/(1 + YTM)^20, or:

1,382.73 = 130/(1 + YTM) + 130/(1 + YTM)^2 + 130/(1 + YTM)^3 +...+ 130/(1 + YTM)^20 + 1,000/(1 + YTM)^20

Solve the equation, we get YTM = 8.85%.

So, if he company wants to issue new debt, its after-tax cost of debt is 8.85% x (1 - 35%) = 5.75%

Answer:

Correct answer is D. Direct materials

Explanation:

Among the given choices, direct materials is most likely to be classified as variable cost. Direct materials are the supplies used in manufacturing products which can be directly identified in the output production. It is a main component which is traceable to create or produce products. Basically, all manufacturing industries used direct materials as their variable cost in their production.

Variable costs are costs that vary with the level of production. Direct materials and straight-line depreciation are examples of variable costs. Factory rent, manager salaries, and insurance are typically classified as fixed costs.

Variable costs are the costs that vary with the level of production. Based on the information provided, the costs most likely to be classified as variable are:

Direct materials: These costs vary based on the quantity of materials used in production. For example, if more units are produced, more materials will be needed.

Straight-line depreciation: This cost is associated with the wear and tear of assets over time. If more units are produced, the depreciation expense will be higher.

Factory rent, manager salaries, and insurance are more likely to be classified as fixed costs, as these costs do not directly vary with the level of production.

Answer: The management must ensure that the personnel manager must be up and doing in the performance of their job in order to ensure that accident in the workplace is reduced to the nearest minimum. (b) The increasing safety measures will not affect sales but increase sales because consumers will see the organization as the one who makes the safety of their workers top on their priority.

Explanation:

Safety measures in the workplace are the steps taken by the management in an organization in order to ensure that workers work in an environment that will not endanger their lives while performing their official duties at their workplace. The responsibility for the health and safety as well as the welfare of all workers falls under the functions of the personnel department headed by the personnel manager. The accident in the workplace account for a considerable loss of Labour hours in addition to personal suffering and it is necessary and economically sensible and humane to ensure that working conditions are as safe and as healthy as possible. The management in some cases also appoint an officer specifically to look after health and safety known as department safety officer whose job will be to advice and help as required and also complement the effort of the personnel manager aimed at ensuring the safety of the employees in the workplace

The management must ensure that personnel manager provide the means for all employees to work in a safe environment in the sense that, the personnel manager must ensure that sufficient information and training as well as supervision is made to ensure that hazard are avoided in the workplace. The personnel manager must also ensure that each employee also contribute to his own safety while at work by issuing to each employee codes of safe practice which every workers must be made to adhere to at all times to reduce accident in the workplace.

The personnel manager must ensure that he brought it to the notice of the management to paid a particular attention to the provisions and maintenance of plants and machinery, ensure safe and healty handling of the materials used in the workplace, the manager must also ensure that management make adequate provisions for the welfare facilities in the workplace and also ensure that the working environment is clean and tidy.The management must also ensure that protective clothing and equipment provided for the use of the workers while at work are worn by the workers when performing their official duties in their workplace. In addition, it is the duty of the personnel manager to point out to the management hazard to safety and also make a list of these together with the detailed preventive measures to be taken which will be made available to the employees.

The increasing safety measures will not affect the sales of the organization but rather contribute to the good name of the organization. It will make the consumers sees the organization as the one who are very concerned about the health and welfare of their workers and that the management is humane in the treatment of their workers. These good publicity for the organization will increase the sales of their products and services because a lot of the consumers will like to patronize the products and services of such organizations.

To pay off a credit card balance of $4100 with an APR of 16% in one year, the monthly payments would be $367.86, totalling $4414.32 over the year. The total interest paid would be $314.32, which is 7.12% of the total payments.

To calculate your monthly payments on a credit card balance of $4100 with an APR of 16% that you want to pay off in 1 year, you first have to understand how APR works. APR, or Annual Percentage Rate, represents the annualized interest that you're required to pay on your credit card balance. In this case, an APR of 16% means that you will pay $4100 * 0.16 = $656 in interest over the year if you made no payments.

However, since you will be making equal monthly payments to pay off the balance, your actual interest will be slightly less, and the remaining part of your monthly payment will go towards reducing your outstanding balance. You can find your monthly payment using the loan amortization formula, which in this case would be: Payment = [$4100 * 0.16 / 12] / [1 - (1 + 0.16 / 12)^-12] = $367.86.

a. Thus, your monthly payments will be $367.86.

b. Over the course of a year, that adds up to $367.86 * 12 = $4414.32. So, you would have paid $4414.32 by the end of the year to completely pay off your credit card balance.

c. The total interest paid would be $4414.32 - $4100 = $314.32. Therefore, the percentage of your total payments that is interest would be $314.32 / $4414.32 * 100 = 7.12%.

Final answer:

To determine the number of kanban card sets needed in a kanban control system, calculate the demand during lead time, the safety stock, and divide it by the container size.

Explanation:

To determine the number of kanban card sets needed in a kanban control system, you need to consider several factors. In this case, the expected demand during lead time is 25 per hour, the safety stock is 20% of the demand during lead time, the container size is 5, and the lead time to replenish an order is 5 hours.

First, calculate the demand during lead time by multiplying the expected demand per hour (25) by the lead time (5). This gives us a demand of 125.

Next, calculate the safety stock by multiplying the demand during lead time (125) by the safety stock percentage (20%) and dividing it by the container size (5). This gives us a safety stock of 25.

Finally, add the demand during lead time (125) to the safety stock (25) and divide the result by the container size (5) to determine the number of kanban card sets needed. In this case, the number of kanban card sets needed is 30.

Final answer:

An investor would pay about $256,500 for a share of Babble, Inc., based on the present-day value of expected dividends amounting to $51.3 million over the next two years, assuming there are 200 shares available.

Explanation:

The question is about a company named Babble, Inc., which is offering its stock to investors and planning to disband in two years. To determine what an investor would pay for a share of stock in this company, one must calculate the present-day value (PDV) of the expected dividends, which are $15 million immediately, $20 million in one year, and $25 million in two years. Assuming there is an interest rate that could be earned elsewhere (e.g., 15%), this interest rate would be used to discount the future payments back to their present value.

Once the PDV of all dividends has been calculated, the sum is divided by the number of shares available to find the price per share. For Babble, Inc., assuming a PDV calculation has already been performed and the total PDV of the dividends is $51.3 million, one would divide this amount by the 200 shares to find the price per share. In this case, it's calculated as $51.3 million/200 = $256,500 per share.

This price represents the value of each share based on the expected dividends discounted to their present value. Hence, an investor would consider paying about $256,500 per share of Babble, Inc., given the current and expected future profits.

The student's business question involves financial budgeting, production planning, and break-even analysis, including concepts like break-even price point and short-run shutdown price point to aid in making informed business decisions.

The student's question pertains to various business concepts, particularly those related to financial budgeting, production planning, and cost analysis. In this context, we calculate key points like break-even price points, short-run shutdown price points, and interpret the figures to make informed business decisions.

For instance, if a firm's total cost when producing 1,000 units is $4,000 and the total variable cost is $2,800, the break-even price point would be $4.00. This indicates the price per unit at which total revenues would exactly cover total costs. Similarly, the short-run shutdown price point is the price at which the company would cover its variable costs, which is $2.80 in this scenario. This price point helps the firm decide whether to stay operational or shut down in the short run.

Understanding these concepts is crucial for a business to ensure profitability, manage production effectively, and make strategic financial decisions.

Answer:

                                                               $

Tax @ 40%                                             132

Income from continuing operations     198

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Income from continuing operation is the excess of sales revenue over selling and administrative expenses, restructuring charges and tax.

Tax is 40% of profit before tax.
