Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Unrelated diversification can be defined as the form of diversification when the business adds some of the new products not related to the core strength or core products of the company.

It tries to penetrate into some other business. Example: A shoe making company starts making sports wear.

The companies whose core strength is skilled and specialized and has only few applications outside the core skills. These company can pursue unrelated  diversification instead of related.

Answer:

Many times, clients will shift new people into the project who have no experience with it as they move their key people to new challenges. This issue is: One that is external and intellectual.

Explanation:

External issues do not affect an entity obviously.  The clients shifting new people into projects and moving their key people to new challenges know why they must be doing so.  It may be to encourage organizational learning.  It may be because the key people have been promoted and need to move to higher positions.

Most importantly, it is the clients as entities that we should be concerned and deal with.  Clients like other organizational entities have systems, processes, and policies that they work with to produce results.  Their internal management should remain internal and not be externalized by overtly and overzealous outsiders.

Reflexivity simply means when individuals examine their own judgements, beliefs, and practices during a project or a research process and how their judgements, practices or beliefs may have influenced or impacted the research.

From the question, we are told that a year​ ago, the IT team earned​ corporate-wide recognition for its performance but recently, it has begun to experience some declines in its performance which has led to them missing the last three project deadlines and having experienced budget overruns.

To turn around the​ team's performance, the team lead is encouraging the team to show reflexivity. He wants them to look at what they've been doing earlier and what they're doing presently and make necessary adjustments regarding their judgements for the goals of the organization to be achieved.

Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction

Answers

Answer:

Y = 22 units (Approx)

Explanation:

Note:

The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

So,

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

When X = 10 and Y = 24 units

U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]

U(10 ,24) = 98.4

U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)

So,

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

When X = 12 Find Y

99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

Y = 21.97

Y = 22 units (Approx)

A team is working on a cutting-edge technology, and does not have a lot of familiarity with the technical environment. As a result, it is struggling to estimate a complex story because the approach itself is not clear. How should the team proceed

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "Writing a SPIKE (a non-technical nonstory) as well as the period box until you accept your system planning article".

Explanation:

The working of the team is on state-of-the-art technology and its understanding of the relevant setting, and its main purpose of removing technological complexity is to conduct experiments-this is what a SPIKE tale is about. Whenever a story could not be predicted as the manager wants an experiment, it's indeed best to read a piece before continuing to work on the storyline.

O.K. Company uses a job order cost accounting system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. What is O.K. Company's overhead application rate

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

O.K. expects to incur $2,000,000 of overhead during the next period and expects to use 50,000 labor hours for $10.00 per hour.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,000,000/ (50,000*10)

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.4 per direct labor dollar

The required return on the stock of Moe's Pizza is 10.8 percent and aftertax required return on the company's debt is 3.40 percent. The company's market value capital structure consists of 69 percent equity. The company is considering a new project that is less risky than current operations and it feels the risk adjustment factor is minus 1.9 percent. The tax rate is 39 percent. What is the required return for the new project? rev: 12_20_2018_QC_CS-152115 Multiple Choice 10.41% 6.19% 8.51% 9.99% 6.61%

Answers

Answer:

The required return for the new project is 6.87%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the required return for the new project we would have to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted by risk adjustment factor .

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

After -tax Cost of Debt = 3.40%

Cost of Equity = 10.80%

Weight of Debt = 0.39

Weight of Equity = 0.69

Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]

= [3.40% x 0.39] + [10.80% x 0.69]

= 1.32% + 7.45%

= 8.77%

The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor

= 8.77% - 1.90%

= 6.87%

The required return for the new project is 6.87%

c) Average cost of goods = Cost of goods available for sale/Quantity of goods available for sale = $343,640/275 = $1,249.60

d) Under the periodic inventory system:

1) FIFO assumes that the goods bought first are sold first.

2) LIFO assumes that the goods bought last are sold first

3) Weighted Average takes for granted that the cost of goods available for sale and inventory can be determined with the weighted average.  

Using the period inventory system, it is when physical count is taken of inventory that one can estimate its value.  Unlike the perpetual inventory system, the periodic inventory system waits till a financial period ends to value stock.  The results for ending inventory under the weighted average method, using the perpetual inventory system differs from the results under the same method, using the periodic inventory system.

Rafael has decided to retire once he has $1,000,000 in his retirement account. At the end of each year, he will contribute $7,000 to the account, which is expected to provide an annual return of 6.2%. How many years will it take until he can retire

Answers

Answer:

38 years

Explanation:

in order to determine the amount of years that it will take Rafael to retire, we can use the future value annuity formula:

future value = payment x annuity factor

we know:

future value = $1,000,000payment = $7,000

annuity factor = $1,000,000 / $7,000 = 142.8571

the formula to calculate an annuity factor = [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r

142.8571 = [(1 + 0.062)ⁿ - 1] / 0.062

8.8571 = (1.062)ⁿ - 1

9.8571 = (1.062)ⁿ

using a scientific calculator, we can determine the value of n = 38.0389491 years ≈ 38 years

Vargas Company uses the perpetual inventory method. Vargas purchased 800 units of inventory that cost $9.00 each. At a later date the company purchased an additional 1,200 units of inventory that cost $10.00 each. Vargas sold 900 units of inventory for $13.00. If Vargas uses a FIFO cost flow method, the amount of cost of goods sold appearing on the income statement will be:

Answers

Answer:

$8200

Explanation:

FIFO means first in first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

The cost of the 900 units sold, would be:

800 x 9 = $7200

100 × $10 = $1000

Total = $8200

Zaid's Tent Company has total fixed costs of $300,000 per year. The firm's average variable cost is $65 for 10,000 tents. At that level of output, the firm's average total costs equal Group of answer choices $65 $75 $85 $95

Answers

Answer:

$95

Explanation:

average variable cost per unit = $65

average fixed cost per unit = $300,000 / 10,000 = $30

average total cost per unit = $95

Fixed costs do not vary if the production output changes, while variable costs move in the same direction as the production output, e.g. if output increases, variable costs increase as well.

Answer:

a. Debit Utilities Expense $680

Credit Accounts Payable $680

Explanation:

Russel Co has received a utility bill for the current month but they intend to pay next month.

Since the expense is for this month it must be recognised now. So there will be a debit to the Utilities Expense account for $680.

The payment is not being made now but in the next month. This is an amount the business owes so it will be recorded as a credit to Accounts Payable of $680

Accounts payable is used to record monies that the business owes its creditors. Payments are due at a future date.

Your uncle is about to retire, and he wants to buy an annuity that will provide him with $75,000 of income a year for 20 years, with the first payment coming immediately. The going rate on such annuities is 5.25%. How much would it cost him to buy the annuity today

Answers

Answer:

The annuity will cost him $963,212.95.-

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $75,000

Interest rate= 0.0525

n= 20

First, we need to calculate the final value. We will use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

A= annual cash flow

FV= {75,000*[(1.0525^20) - 1]/0.0525} + {[75,000*(1.0525^20)] - 75,000}

FV= 2,546,491.88 + 133,690.82= $2,680,182.70

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 2,680,182.70/(1.0525^20)

PV= $963,212.95

Sunland Company applies overhead on the basis of 200% of direct labor cost. Job No. 501 is charged with $320000 of direct materials costs and $410000 of manufacturing overhead. The total manufacturing costs for Job No. 501 is $1140000. $1050000. $935000. $730000.

Answers

Answer:

$935,000

Explanation:

Calculation for Sunland company total manufacturing costs for Job No. 501

Using this formula

Total Manufacturing cost =(Manufacturing Overhead/Percentage of Overhead basis)+Direct material +Manufacturing overhead

Let plug in the formala

Total Manufacturing Overhead=($410,000/2)= $205,000 + $320,000 + $410,000

Total Manufacturing overhead =$935,000

Therefore Sunland company total manufacturing costs for Job No. 501 will be $935,000

Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Sales $668,600
Cost 431,300
Depreciation 103,700
EBIT
Taxes (24%)
Net Income

a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Answers

Answer:

a. $205,236

b. $24,888

Explanation:

a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700

= $133,600

Net income = EBIT - Taxes

= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)

= $133,600 - $32,064

= $101,536

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700

= $205,236

b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-

Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax

= $103,700 × 24%

= $24,888

Accounts payable 79,245 39,303
Note payable 0 137,909

Answers

Answer:

net income during 2019 = $109,045

Explanation:

total stockholder equity 2018 = assets - liabilities = $293,500 - $79,245 = $214,255

total stockholder equity 2019 = assets - liabilities = $497,512 - $177,212 = $320,300

change in equity from 2018 to 2019 = $106,045

$33,000 can be explained by additional capital invested, and the remaining  $73,045 corresponds to change in retained earnings

change in retained earnings = net income - dividends distributed

$73,045 = net income - $36,000

net income = $109,045
