Answer:
The B/C ratio if Podunk uses a cost of money of 4% is 0.99
Explanation:
In order to calculate the B/C ratio if Podunk uses a cost of money of 4%, we would have to use the following formula:
B/C ratio = PW BENEFITS / PWCOSTS
PW BENEFITS = $18,000 (P/A, 4%,12) + $3,500(P/G, 4%, 12) = $334,298
PW COSTS = $175,000 + $17,500(P/A. 4%,12) = $339,238
Therefore, B/C ratio = $334,298 / $339,238
B/C ratio = 0.99
Answer:
The B/C ratio if Podunk uses a cost of money of 4% is going to be $ 0.99
Explanation:
Base on the scenario been described in the question, we can be able to use the following formula in calculation of the B/C ratio if Podunk uses a cost of money.
B/C ratio = Benefits of PW/ Costs of PW
Substituting the values we have ;
Benefits of PW = $18,000 (P/A, 4%,12) + $3,500(P/G, 4%, 12)
Benefits of PW = $334,298
Costs of PW = $175,000 + $17,500(P/A. 4%,12)
Costs of PW = $339,238
B/C ratio = Benefits of PW/ Costs of PW
B/C ratio = $334,298 / $339,238
B/C ratio = $0.99

Gorberchev Food Processing expects to have 28,000 units of finished goods inventory on hand on March 31 and reports the following expected sales (in units) for the months of April through July: April 128,000 May 138,000 June 155,000 July 128,000 At the end of each month the company desires its ending finished goods inventory to be 25% of the next month's projected sales (in units). The budgeted production (in units) for Gorberchev Food Processing for May should be:
Answer:
Total production= 142,250
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (in units):
May=138,000
June= 155,000
At the end of each month the company desires its ending finished goods inventory to be 25% of the next month's projected sales (in units).
To calculate the units to be produced in May, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Budgeted production:
Sales= 138,000
Desired ending inventory= (155,000*0.25)= 38,750
Beginning inventory= (138,000*0.25)= (34,500)
Total production= 142,250

10%[ RR of $10,000 is 10% of DD of $100,000]
(b)
i All ER [of $5,000] would disappear and they would have only the RR of $10,000.
iiThe M1 MS would not change and the MS
will includes currency and DD of the public.
The $5,000 Luis withdrew [currency] is still M1.
iii When Luis withdrew $5,000, that simply means that RR was now $9,500.
Hence RR will be decrease by $500 and the remainder of the $5,000 withdrawal was taken from excess leaving only 500 currently in ER.

The principle of comparative advantage asserts that a. the world price of a good will prevail in all countries, regardless of whether those countries allow international trade in that good. b. countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best. c. not all countries can benefit from trade with other countries. d. countries can become better off by exporting goods, but they cannot become better off by importing goods.
Answer:
b. countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation."
Also, the principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
"Sunnyfax Publishing pays out all its earnings and has a share price of $ 38.00. In order to expand, Sunnyfax Publishing decides to cut its dividend from $3.00 to $2.00 per share and reinvest the retained funds. Once the funds are reinvested, they are expected to grow at a rate of 15%. If the reinvestment does not affect Sunnyfax's equity cost of capital, what is the expected share price as a consequence of this decision?"
Answer:
$59.7193
Explanation:
Cost of capital = $3/$38 = 0.0789473
g= 0.33 × 15/100
g = 0.33× 0.15
= 0.04545
P0= $2 / ( 0.0789473 - 0.04545)
= $2/0.03349

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.20 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent per year, indefinitely. Investors require a return of 10 percent on the stock. a. What is the current price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What will the price be in three years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What will the price be in 10 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Current price is
= D1 ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)
= ($1.20 × 1.04 ÷ (0.1 - 0.04)
= $20.8
b. Now the price in three year is
P3 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^3
= $20.8 × (1.04)^3
= $23.40
c. For price in 10 year it is
P10 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^10
= $20.80 × (1.04)^10
= $30.79
We simply applied the above formula
Final answer:
Explanation of current stock price using dividend discount model, calculations for price in three and ten years.
Explanation:
The current price of the stock can be calculated using the dividend discount model. The formula to find the current price of a stock using DDM is P = D / (R - G), where P is the current price, D is the dividend paid per share, R is the required return rate, and G is the dividend growth rate.
a. Current price = $1.20 / (0.10 - 0.04) = $20.00
b. To find the price in three years, you can use the formula P3 = D3 / (R - G), where D3 is the dividend in three years. Calculate D3 first: D3 = $1.20 * (1 + 0.04) ³ = $1.20 * 1.04 ^ 3 = $1.2990 (approx).
Now calculate the price in three years: P3 = $1.2990 / (0.10 - 0.04) = $21.65
c.The price in ten years can be found using the formula P10 = D10 / (R - G), where D10 is the dividend in ten years. Calculate D10 first using the growth rate: D10 = $1.20 * (1 + 0.04) ¹⁰ = $1.20 * 1.04¹⁰ = $2.0498 (approx).
Now find the price in ten years: P10 = $2.0498 / (0.10 - 0.04) = $34.16
Coronado Company borrowed $1,018,620 on March 1 on a 5-year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 10%, 5-year, $2,005,300 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $3,444,000 note payable. Compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 7.58%.)
Answer:
weighted-average interest rate =10.8%
Explanation:
The weighted average interest rate is the average interest rate of all of the Notes weighted using the nominal value of the notes.
Total nominal value = 1,018,620 + 2,005,300 + $3,444,000 = 6,467,920.
Weighted average interest rate
= (1,018,620× 12%) + (10%×2,005,300)+(11%×3,444,000 )/6,467,920.
= 10.8%
weighted-average interest rate =10.8%
The Really Reliable Company produces roller bearings used in a high-wear application in diesel locomotives. The exponentially distributed mean time to failure for these roller bearings has been determined to be 10,000 hours of operation. Really Reliable wants to determine an appropriate warranty period (in hours) such that it will have to provide warranty service for no more than 0.04% of the roller bearings it produces.
Answer:
Appropriate warranty period = 4 hours
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Here, mean = 10,000 = 1/λ
Let appropriate warranty period = t
Hence, 0.0004 = 1-e^-λt
0.0004 = 1-e^(t/10,000)
e^(t/10,000) = 0.9996
Taking ln on both the sides and then solving,
t/10,000 = 0.0004
t = 4 hours
Hence, Appropriate warranty period = 4 hours
The student's question involves applying statistical principles to practical problems, such as deciding on warranty periods based on exponential distribution, testing claims with hypothesis testing, and calculating service times with normal distributions.
The student's question pertains to the determination of an appropriate warranty period for roller bearings produced by The Really Reliable Company, given that the mean time to failure is 10,000 hours and they wish to limit warranty services to 0.04% of produced units. This problem involves the use of exponential distribution and probability to find the time at which the cumulative distribution function (CDF) is equal to 99.96%, corresponding to the 0.04% failure rate allowed under warranty.
To address the tire claim study, a hypothesis testing will be employed using the standard deviation and mean from both the past studies and recent survey to decide if the data significantly contradict the claim.
Regarding the preventive maintenance for air conditioners, with an average service time of one hour and a standard deviation of one hour, the probability that the service time will be less than 1.1 hours needs to be calculated using a normal distribution. The result will help determine if 1.1 hours per technician is a sufficient average budgeted time to service each unit.

LPM Ltd. uses units produced as its measure of activity. During August, the company budgeted for 46,700 units of output, but actually produced 48,900 units of output. The company uses the following revenue and cost formulas in its budgeting, where q is the number of units of output:
Revenue: $10.40q
Salaries: $31,050 + $2.45q
Supplies: $1.25q
Utilities: $0.60q
Insurance: $23,090
Miscellaneous expenses: $13,800 + $0.21q
The company reported the following actual results for August:
Revenue $ 491,250
Salaries $ 148,360
Supplies $ 55,795
Utilities $ 31,920
Insurance $ 22,100
Miscellaneous expense $ 20,845
The revenue variance in August is:
Answer:
The revenue variance in August is $5,570 favorable.
Explanation:
LPM Ltd.
Actual Revenue = $491,250
Budgeted Revenue = $10.40 x 46,700 units = $485,680
Revenue Variance = Budgeted Variance - Actual Variance
Revenue Variance = $485,680 - $491,250
Revenue Variance = $5,570 favorable
Since the Actual Variance is greater than budgeted variance, hence favorable revenue variance.

Explanation:
The concept of equivalent units measures the number of units completed in terms of completion stage of the the inputs.
Final answer:
A production cost report using the weighted-average method includes calculating equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs and computing the cost per equivalent unit. Costs are summed and divided by the equivalent units; the report shows production efficiency and cost management.
Explanation:
The question you've presented revolves around the preparation of a production cost report for the Blending Department at ArkYork Paints using the weighted-average method. Since no specific cost data was provided, a general approach to creating such a report includes calculating the equivalent units of production (EUP) for both direct materials and conversion costs, computing the cost per equivalent unit, and then preparing a summary of costs for units transferred out and ending work in process.
In the scenario described, 500 gallons were in process at the start of the month, and an additional 9,000 gallons were started during the month. By the month's end, 6,500 gallons were completed and the remaining 3,000 gallons were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 10% complete for conversion costs. To determine the EUP, one would add the completed gallons to the equivalent completed portion of the ending work in process.
Costs for direct materials and conversion must be added to those carried over from the prior period (beginning inventory) plus those added during the current period. The total costs are then divided by equivalent units to obtain the cost per equivalent unit. The report would summarize these figures and provide insights into the department's production efficiency and cost management.
First Niles Financial, Inc., is a company whose sole business is to own and operate a bank, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Niles, Ohio. First Niles's directors included bank officers William Stephens, Daniel Csontos, and Lawrence Safarek; James Kramer, president of an air-conditioning company that serviced the bank; and Ralph Zuzolo, whose law firm served the bank and whose title company participated in most of its real estate deals. First Niles's board put the bank up for sale and received three bids. Farmers National Bank Corp. stated that it would not retain the board. Cortland Bancorp indicated that it would terminate the directors but consider them for future service. First Financial Corp. said nothing about the directors. The board did not pursue Farmers' offer, failed to timely respond to Cortland's request, and rejected First Financial's bid. Leonard Gantler and other First Niles shareholders filed a suit in a Delaware state court against Stephens and the others. What duties do directors and officers owe to a corporation and its shareholders
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
The Directors and Officers of a Corporation owe to a Corporation and it's shareholders various duties such as Loyalty, Prudence, Care and Fair Dealing.
They are to act in the interest of the shareholders at all times which means their own personal interest should be put behind that of the shareholders as they work to maximise shareholder wealth.
If it is proven that the Directors and Officers of First Niles analysed the bids on the bank based on their personal interests namely, the keeping of their position as board members, and therefore rejected these bids based on the unwillingness of the bidding companies to keep them as Board members, then that constitutes a Breach of the duties expected of them.
Directors and officers owe fiduciary duties to a corporation and its shareholders, including the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. These duties require them to act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders and to avoid conflicts of interest. Failure to fulfill these duties may result in legal consequences.
Explanation:Directors and officers owe fiduciary duties to a corporation and its shareholders. These duties include the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires directors and officers to act with the level of care that a reasonably prudent person would use in similar circumstances. The duty of loyalty requires directors and officers to act in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, and to avoid conflicts of interest.
For example, in the case of First Niles Financial, Inc., the directors had a duty to consider the best interests of the company and its shareholders when deciding whether to pursue the bids for the bank. Failing to properly respond to the bids and rejecting offers without considering the potential benefits to the shareholders could be seen as a breach of their duties.
Shareholders who believe that directors and officers have breached their fiduciary duties can file a lawsuit against them. In the case of First Niles, Leonard Gantler and other shareholders filed a suit against the directors. If a court determines that the directors breached their duties, they may be held personally liable for any damages caused to the company and its shareholders.
Western Company is preparing a cash budget for June. The company has $10,600 in cash at the beginning of June and anticipates $31,400 in cash receipts and $37,300 in cash payments during June. Western Company has an agreement with its bank to maintain a minimum cash balance of $10,000. As of May 31, the company has no loans outstanding. To maintain the $10,000 required balance, during June the company must:
a. Borrow $5,300.
b. Repay $4,900.
c. Borrow $10,000.
d. Repay $5,100.
e. Borrow $4,900.
Answer:
$5,300
Explanation:
The computation of maintained balance is shown below:-
Total amount = Opening Balance + Cash Receipts - Cash Disbursement
= $10,600 + $31,400 - $37,300
= $42,000 - $37,300
= $4,700
In order to maintain a balance of $10,000, it needs to borrow = $10,000 - $4,700
= $5,300
Therefore to maintain a balance of $10,000, it needs to borrow $5,300

Samuel slips on an icy spot in front of an apartment and is hospitalized for three weeks. The owner of the apartment pays Samuel $14,000 for medical expenses and gives him $4,000 for his pain and suffering. Samuel receives his regular $1,800 salary from his employer while he couldn't work and also receives $7,000 in disability pay from a plan that he had purchased. Samuel's gross income from these payments is: a. $-0-. b. $1,800. c. $2,500. d. $5,800. e. $8,800.
Answer:
B) $1,800.
Explanation:
$14,000 in medical expenses are not part of Samuel's gross income.
$7,000 in disability payments are not included in Samuel's gross income because he paid the premiums.
$4,000 in pain and suffering compensation are not part of your gross income.
The only payments that are part of Samuel's gross income and therefore are taxed, are his regular monthly salary payments = $1,800. If Samuel's disability insurance premium had been paid by his employer, then the $7,000 would have been taxable.
Larkspur, Inc. issues $4.2 million, 5-year, 7% bonds at 103, with interest payable on January 1. The straight-line method is used to amortize bond premium. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of these bonds on January 1, 2017. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
Dr. Cash $4,326,000
Cr. Premium on Bond $126,000
Cr. Bond Payable Account $4,200,000
Explanation:
The difference between the face value of the bond and the sale value of the bond is known as premium or the discount on the bond. If the face value is higher from the sale value the bond is issued on the discount and if the sale value of the bond is higher than the face value the bond is issued on the premium.
In this question the bond is issued on premium and the amount of premium is calculated as follow
Premium on the Bond = Sale value - Face value = ($4,200,000 x 103%) - $4,200,000 = $126,000
The Premium will be amortized during the life of the bond to maturity and deducted from the interest expense.
Dapple Company incurred the following costs while producing 480 units: direct materials, $ 13 per unit; direct labor, $ 26 per unit; variable manufacturing overhead, $ 16 per unit; total fixed manufacturing overhead costs, $ 7 comma 680; variable selling and administrative costs, $ 2 per unit; total fixed selling and administrative costs, $ 4 comma 320. There are no beginning inventories. What is the operating income using variable costing if 430 units are sold for $ 160 each?
Answer:
Operating Income $32290
Explanation:
The difference between the variable and absorption costing is that the fixed costs are treated as period costs in variable costing and as product costs in absorptioon costing. In variable costing all variable costs are treated as product costs.

Operating Income $32290
The operating income using variable costing is calculated as the contribution margin ($44,290) minus the total fixed costs ($12,000), resulting in an operating income of $32,290.
To calculate the operating income using variable costing, we first need to determine the total variable costs at the production level and then calculate the contribution margin from the sales of 430 units. Next, we subtract the total fixed manufacturing and selling costs from the total contribution margin to find the operating income.
Total variable costs per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable selling and administrative costs
Total variable costs per unit = $13 + $26 + $16 + $2
Total variable costs per unit = $57
Total variable production costs for 480 units = $57 * 480
Total variable production costs for 480 units = $27,360
Sales revenue = $160 * 430
Sales revenue = $68,800
Total variable costs for units sold = $57 * 430
Total variable costs for units sold = $24,510
Contribution margin = Sales revenue - Total variable costs for units sold
Contribution margin = $68,800 - $24,510
Contribution margin = $44,290
Total fixed costs = Fixed manufacturing overhead + Fixed selling and administrative costs
Total fixed costs = $7,680 + $4,320
Total fixed costs = $12,000
Operating income = Contribution margin - Total fixed costs
Operating income = $44,290 - $12,000
Operating income = $32,290
The operating income using variable costing is $32,290.
Place in order the events in the evolution of the Solow growth model. Start by clicking the first item in the sequence or dragging it here The Solow growth model was developed in 1956. The Solow model was applied to many African nations that had just gained independence. Real-world observations caused economists to revisit the Solow growth model. Growth policies failed; nations that had received international aid were no better off.
The Solow growth model, first developed in 1956 and applied to newly independent African countries, encountered setbacks when these nations failed to economically improve despite international aid. The model was revisited, highlighting the importance of the Industrial Revolution and technological advancements for modern economic growth. Countries in East Asia like South Korea, Japan, and China have demonstrated rapid economic growth by employing market-oriented reforms and investing in technology and education.
Explanation:The Solow growth model details the long-term economic growth experienced by different countries. This model, developed in 1956, was first applied to countries in Africa that had recently gained independence. However, despite assistance from international aid, growth policies failed, leaving these nations no better off economically. This caused economists to revisit the Solow economic growth model.
During their revisit, it was found that the Industrial Revolution and subsequent technological advancements were essential drivers of modern economic growth, increasing worker productivity and bolstering trade. This growth has been evidenced within the Western Europe and North American economies which consistently maintained an average growth rate of about 2% per year since the early 19th century.
In the last half-century, other regions, specifically East Asia, showcased their ability to rapidly catch up with the developed countries. Countries like South Korea, Japan, and China utilized market-oriented economic reforms, new technology, education, and substantial capital investment to bolster their economic growth.

Varto Company has 12,600 units of its sole product in inventory that it produced last year at a cost of $31 each. This year’s model is superior to last year’s, and the 12,600 units cannot be sold at last year’s regular selling price of $49 each. Varto has two alternatives for these items: (1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each or (2) they can be processed further at a cost of $272,300 and then sold for $34 each. Should Varto sell the products as is or process further and then sell them?
Answer:
It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 12,600
Varto has two alternatives for these items:
(1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each
(2) they can be processed further for $272,300 and then sold for $34 each.
The first cost of $31 is a sunk cost, it will remain no matter which option is chosen. We will not take it into account for the decision making process.
Option 1:
Effect on income= 12,600*13= $163,800
Option 2:
Effect on income= 12,600*34 - 272,300= $156,100
It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.

What is the Capability Index for this process?
A. 1.30
B. 1.04
C. 1.56
D. 0.43
Answer:
The Capability Index for this process is 1.04. The right answer is B
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
μ = 31 Seconds
USL = 45
LSL = 10
Standard deviation σ= 4.5
Therefore, in order to calculate the Capability Index for this process we would have to use the following formula:
Cpk=Min( USL-μ , μ- LSL)
3×σ 3×σ
Cpk=Min( 45-31 , 31- 10)
3×4.5 3×4.5
Cpk = Min ( 1.04,1.56) = 1.04
The Capability Index for this process is 1.04

Solar panels could be used for generating power in organizations where appropriate.ABC will devote 5% of all its sales to research for environmentally friendly energy resources to significantly reduce its reliance on coal.Social:
ABC could perhaps recognize the perspective including its investors and therefore should share the required info.When the CEO is unaware of the corporation's misconduct as well as some informant points something out to herself, therefore that individual or organization must be tended to or respected.Governance:
ABC ought to be more open concerning its activities. If it's the founder or the worker. Stockholders ought to learn what the internal operations of their business are.Boards must be supervised closely and they should include separate, representative members. Their pay should not have been so strong that incongruity is prevented in conferences.As contrasted with Enron's. Enron did not follow up on such above compliance issues.
We were vague when it came to disclosing their liabilities off the income statement. Shareholders were unfamiliar with the firm's operations.Whistle-blower or anybody who referred out such a program flaw was embarrassed and disciplined.ABC Inc may obey these guidelines above to have been consistent with ESG.

For purposes of allocating joint costs to joint products, the estimated net realizable value at split-off is equal to A. final sales price reduced by cost to complete after split-off. B. sales price less a normal profit margin at the point of sale C. separable product cost plus a normal profit margin. D. total sales value less joint costs at point of split-off.
Answer:
A. Final sales price reduced by cost to complete after split-off.
Explanation:
Net realizable value (NRV) is explained here to be the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with the eventual sale or disposal of the asset. It is a common method used to evaluate an asset's value for inventory accounting. NRV is a valuation method used in both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Many business transactions allow for judgment or discretion when choosing an accounting method.
A conservative approach means that the accountant should use the accounting method that generates less profit and does not overstate the value of assets.
