Based on the above items, please compare and contrast the ratios between the company and the industry.

Required:
Analyze reasons why there could be differences and the overall financial position of the company. Also, what of the ways the company could finance the company without significant negative changes to the above financial metrics (ratios)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The company has current ratio almost half than the industry average. This is an indication that the company has lesser current assets than industry average. The ability of the company to meet its short term obligations is not suitable as the other companies in the industry are maintaining double current ratio. The ratio should never go below 1 as if it does the company may face its operational financing and working capital management issues.

The debt to equity ratio is significantly higher than the other companies of the same industry. The industry average is 4 whereas the company has ratio 20. This is significantly higher which indicates that there is heavy burden of debt on the company.  High debt/ equity ratio indicates high risks. Investors avoid investing in such companies which have high debt/ equity ratio.

Explanation:

The company can go for equity financing as it will also help reduce its debt / equity ratio. The company will become less riskier and financing will be divided in debt and equity. The debt burden on assets will be reduced. There can be reduction in certain debt covenants. The company can use equity financing to fund its operations as well as purchase of non current assets to increase production and ultimately profitability of the company could rise.

Brazil has a population of about 210​ million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of​ these, an estimated 25​ percent, or 37.5 million​ people, are functionally illiterate. The typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per​ year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident. Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth​ theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of​ Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and​ capital, if Brazil opens its​ borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.
D. Since technologically advanced physical capital is necessary for economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its economic growth rate will be lower because there are not enough skilled workers to operate sophisticated machinery.

Answers

Answer:

B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.

Explanation:

According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.

A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.

Mr Store who runs his photocopy business working 8 hours per day process 100 scripts. He estimates his labour cost to be € 9 per hour. Also he has estimated that the total material cost for each script is approximately € 2; while the daily expenses are €28. Calculate the multifactor productivity. In an effort to increase the rate of the photocopy process to 150 scripts, he decides to change the quality of ink thus raising the mate- rial cost to € 2.5 per day. Is the new productivity better than before? If Mr Store would like to increase the photocopy process to 150 scripts without sacrificing the initial multifactor productivity, by what amount has the material costs to be increased?

Answers

Answer:

A) 0.33 scripts per euro

B) The new productivity is worse than the old productivity

C) 0.333 euros per script

Explanation:

number of hours worked per day = 8

number of scripts processed per day = 100

Labor cost per hour = 9 euros

Total labor cost per day = 9 * 8 = 72 euros

material cost per script = 2 euros

Total material cost per day = 2 * 100 = 200 euros

daily expenses = 28 euros

A) Calculate the multifactor productivity

= output / Total cost

Total cost =  ( 72 + 200 + 28 ) = 300

= 100 / 300

= 0.33 scripts per euro

B ) compare the old and new productivity

Old productivity = 0.33 scripts / euro

new multifactor productivity

= output / Total cost

Total cost = (8*9)+(150*2.5)+28 = 475

= 150 / 475

= 0.3158 scripts per euro

hence the new productivity is worse than the old productivity

C ) using the initial multifactor productivity of 0.333

calculate the target total cost = output / multifactor of productivity

= 150/0.333

= 450 euros

hence  Material cost = (450 - 8*9-28)/150

= 2.33 euro per script

So, the material cost will be increased by = 2.33 euros - 2

euros

= 0.333 euros per script

Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below:
Sales (13,200 units × $40 per unit) $528,000
Variable expenses 316,800
Contribution margin 211,200
Fixed expenses 235,200
Net operating loss $(24,000)
1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in both unit sales and dollar sales.
2. The president believes that a $6,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $89,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the effect on the company’s monthly net operating income or loss?
3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $31,000 in the monthly advertising budget, will double unit sales. What will the new contribution format income statement look like if these changes are adopted?
4. Refer to the original data. The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would help sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by $0.60 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to earn a profit of $4,100?
5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $55,000 each month.
A. Compute the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in both unit sales and dollar sales.
CM ratio 45%
Break-even points in units 183
Break-even points in dollars 7,305

B. Assume that the company expects to sell 20,700 units next month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one assuming that operations are not automated and one assuming that they are.
C. Would you recommend that the company automate its operations?
1. Yes
2. No

Answers

Answer:

1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in both unit sales and dollar sales.

CM ratio = 211,200 / 528,000 = 39.96%

break even point in $ = 235,200 / 39.96% = $588,588

break even point in units = 588,588 / 40 = 14,714.7 ≈ 14,715 units

2. The president believes that a $6,800 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $89,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the effect on the company’s monthly net operating income or loss?

total revenue = $617,000

variable expenses = $617,000 x 60.04% = $370,446.80

contribution margin = $246,553.20

fixed expenses = $242,000

operating profit = $4,553.20

3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $31,000 in the monthly advertising budget, will double unit sales. What will the new contribution format income statement look like if these changes are adopted?

total revenue = $950,400

variable expenses = 26,400 x $24.016 = $634,022.40

contribution margin = $316,377.60

fixed expenses = $266,200

operating profit = $50,177.60

4. Refer to the original data. The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would help sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by $0.60 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to earn a profit of $4,100?

variable expenses per unit = $24.016 + $0.60 = $24.616

contribution margin per unit = $40 - $24.616 = $15.384

break even point + $4,100 gains = 239,300 / 15.384 = 15,555.122 ≈ 15,556 units

5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $55,000 each month.

Automakers sold vehicles through department stores, by mail order and through the efforts of traveling sales representatives. The prevailing delivery system was direct-to-consumer sales.

Company Owned Company Operated franchise model do automobile dealerships usually follow. These are companies that have been granted a franchise to purchase and resell cars made by particular manufacturers.

What is the difference between a franchise and a dealership?

A licensed dealer functions much like a retail distributor. Dealers have more freedom when it comes to the layout of their stores and the products they offer, while franchisees are subject to a set of corporate regulations. The majority of the time, a dealer will sell the same goods and have the parent company's name and logo.

The people who will benefit from the legislation will be willing to spend on lobbying up to______________ , in which case the Senate will likely vote ___________ the legislation.

Answers

Answer:

Passing the legislation is INEFFICIENT, and if everyone in Romange shared equally in both its benefits and its costs, the Senate will vote AGAINST the legislation.

Costs are higher than benefits, so it should be rejected.

If the costs of the legislation are concentrated among a few people instead of widespread among the population, those people will be willing to spend up to 34 MILLION lobbying the Senate against the legislation.

The more widely spread are the benefits of the legislation, the LOWER is the likelihood of lobbying for the legislation by those who will incur its benefits.

Sadly, when public goods tend to benefit everyone equally, people do not pay attention to them. One sad example, is the current state of the country's road system which is probably the worst among developed nations. Since everyone benefits form roads, everyone complains, but the vast majority of the people do not do anything but complain to themselves or their families when travelling. This is something that has been going on for decades now, and really very few people care. Even public health care, which is one of the most basic duties of a government is something that only a few really pay attention to. Only in Switzerland (which subsidizes and deducts all health spending), does a similar system works. In no other developed, or even in most developing nations would their citizens even consider not having 100% public health care.

Amanda is a twenty-four year old student. For two years Amanda has been going to gym and using weight equipment, stationary bicycles, and step machines to improve muscle tone. One spring afternoon Amanda was using a weight machines in the usual way (and the way she was showed how to use it), when the machine malfunctioned causing her serious injury. The company that made the machine, Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.

If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic, the company might want to seriously consider:

a. How this litigation will affect its goodwill
b. Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option
c. Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
d. The costs associated with litigating this claim
e. All of the other choices

Product liability is the responsibility that a company bears for injury caused by its products as a result of a defect.

In this instance Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.

So for any injury users have they will be liable.

If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic they will have to consider:

- How this litigation will affect its goodwill

- Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option

- Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships

- The costs associated with litigating this claim

If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of ​$250 a​ month, the​ on-campus housing market is​

Answers

Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented

Explanation:

If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of ​$250 a​ month, the​ on-campus housing market is​ inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.

An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.

This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.

When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:

Answers

Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.

Explanation:

The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.

This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.

In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

You have the following rates of return for a risky portfolio for several recent years. Assume that the stock pays no dividends.

Answers

Answer:

The geometric average return for the period 2.60%.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the return for each year.

In the attached excel file, return is calculated using the following formula:

Return = (Current year price - Previous year price) / Previous year price

The formula for calculating the geometric average return is given as follows:

Geometric average return = [(1 + R1)(1 + R2)(1 + R3)...(1 + Rn)]^(1/n) – 1 ……….. (1)

Where;

Ri = Return over the years I, where i = 1, 2, 3, …. n

n = number of years = 3

R1 = 2012 return = 0.10

R2 = 2013 return = -0.0727272727272727

R3 = 0.0588235294117647

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Geometric average return = ((1 + 0.10)(1 - 0.0727272727272727)(1 + 0.0588235294117647))^(1/3) – 1

Geometric average return = (1.10 * 0.927272727272727 * 1.0588235294117647)^(1/3) – 1

Geometric average return = 1.07999999999999^0.333333333333333 - 1

Geometric average return = 1.02598556800602 - 1

Geometric average return = 0.02598556800602 = 0.0260, or 2.60%

Therefore, the geometric average return for the period 2.60%.

On January 1, 2013, Parent Company purchased 80% of the common stock of Subsidiary Company for $280,000. On this date, Subsidiary had total owners' equity of $250,000 (common stock $20,000; other paid-in capital, $80,000; and retained earnings, $150,000). Any excess of cost over book value is due to the under or overvaluation of certain assets and liabilities. Inventory, which was sold in the third quarter, is undervalued $5,000. Land is undervalued $20,000. Buildings and equipment have a fair value which exceeds book value by $30,000, and a 5-year expected life. Bonds payable are overvalued $10,000. The remaining excess, if any, is due to goodwill. Subsidiary had net income of $60,000 and paid $3,000 in dividends during 2013. Parent had net income of $50,000 and paid $1,000 in dividends during 2013. Assume that Parent uses equity method to record its investment.

c. $133200
d. $157200

Answers

Answer:Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of =d. $157200

Explanation:

Since there are 5 workdays in a week

we consider First, Workdays Biweekly (Two weeks)

= 5 work days per week X 2 = 10 days  

then the Remaining work  days in 2020 for December 29,30 and 31 = 3 days

Accrued salaries = Recurring biweekly salaries/10 days X 3 days + Overtime pay earned in the 2-week period ended 12/26/20

$444,000/10 days x 3 days   +  $24000  

$133,200 +$24000

Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.

Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.

Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.

In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?

Answers

Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.  

However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.

Answers

Answer:

the present value is $37,230.10

Explanation:

The computation of the present value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^time period

$50,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.06 ÷ 2)^5 × 2

$50,000 = Present value × (1.03)^10

$50,000 = Present value × 1.343
