A company that produces pleasure boats has decided to expand one of its lines. Current facilities are insufficient to handle the increased workload, so the company is considering three alternatives, A (new location), B (subcontract), and C (expand existing facilities). Alternative A would involve substantial fixed costs but relatively low variable costs: fixed costs would be $250,000 per year, and variable costs would be $700 per boat. Subcontracting would involve a cost per boat of $3,100, and expansion would require an annual fixed cost of $60,000 and a variable cost of $1,700 per boat. Expansion would result in an increase of $81,000 per year in transportation costs, sub-contracting would result in an increase of $28,000 per year, and adding a new location would result in an increase of $5,200 per year.
1. Find the range of output for each alternative that would yield the lowest total cost.
A. 315,550 or more.
B. 2,550 or 306,000.
c. 57,050 or 182,000.
2. Which alternative would yield the lowest total cost for an expected annual volume of 115 boats?
A. A.
B. B.
C. C.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. A. 315,550 or more

2. B. B

Explanation:

Number of boats is 115

Alternative A :

New location cost are

Fixed cost $250,000

Transportation cost increase is $5200

Variable cost is $700 per boat

Total cost per boat is (250,000 + 5200 ) / 115 + 700 = 2,919 per boat.

Alternative B :

Subcontract costs are

Transportation cost increase is $28,000

cost per boat is $3,100 per boat

Total cost per boat is 28,000 / 115 + 3,100 = 3,343 per boat.

Alternative C :

New location cost are

Fixed cost $60,000

Transportation cost increase is $81,000

Variable cost is $1,700 per boat

Total cost per boat is (60,000 + 81,000 ) / 115 + 1,700 = 2,926 per boat.

Best alternative is A ( New Location ) which results in lowest total cost per boat.

Vaughn uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7200 units that cost $14.00 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 3000 units at $15.00 each and 12200 units at $15.50 each. Vaughn also sold 13100 units during the month. Using the FIFO method, what is the ending inventory?

Answers

Answer:

Ending inventory= $144,150

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory consisted of 7200 units that cost $14.00 each.

Purchase:

3000 units at $15.00 each

12,200 units at $15.50 each.

Vaughn also sold 13,100 units during the month.

To calculate the ending inventory using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, we need to use the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:

Ending inventory= 9,300*15.5

Ending inventory= $144,150

Presented is basic financial information (in millions) from the annual reports of Nike Nike Sales revenue $18,627 Allowance for doubtful accounts, Jan. 1 71.5 Allowance for doubtful accounts, Dec. 31 78.4 Accounts receivable balance (gross), Jan 1 2,566.2 Accounts receivable balance (gross), Dec. 31 2,873.7 Instructions: Calculate the average collection period (DAYS) for Nike. Only record the number and round to one decimal.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Average collection period is computed as

= [Average accounts receivables / Net sales] × 365

Average accounts receivables = [(2,566.2 + 2,873.7)/2] = 2,720

Net sales = 18,627

Average collection period = [2,720/18627] × 365

= 53 days

The answer "low in product involvement; high in purchase involvement".

Explanation:

In this question, Blake doesn't care a great deal about vehicles and is looking for something like a lot of information about cars when he's about to install a separate vehicle. Blake's involvement throughout the product is low; he is quite involved in purchasing because Low-involvement products were normally inexpensive, so if the customer makes an error by purchasing these they present a low risk. This same customer is related to excessive participation products if their fail, are complex, and are due to greater sticker prices. Somewhere in the middle of minimal participation products were falling.

Answers

Answer:

a) Expected Return for Rocket Inc. = 27.7 %

b) Expected Return for Farmer's Corp. = 9.5 %

c) The Stock performed better once you take risk into account = Rocket Inc.

Explanation:

Given - Last year, Rocket Inc. earned a 19 % return. Farmer's Corp. earned 12 %. The overall market return last year was 16 %, and the risk-free rate was 3 %. If Rocket stock has a beta of 1.9 and Farmer's has a beta of 0.5.

To find - (a) Rocket's expected return is ... ?

               (b) Farmer's expected return is ... ?

                (c) Which stock performed better once you take risk into account ?

Solution -

The formula for Expected return is -

Expected Return = Risk-free rate + Systematic Risk ( Market Return - Risk-free rate )

a)

Now,

For Rocket Inc. -

Expected Return = 3% + 1.9 ( 16% - 3% )

                            = 3% + 1.9 (13 %)

                            =  3% + 24.7 %

                            = 27.7 %

⇒Expected Return for Rocket Inc. = 27.7 %

b)

For Farmer's Corp. -

Expected Return = 3% + 0.5 ( 16% - 3% )

                            = 3% + 0.5 (13 %)

                            =  3% + 6.5 %

                            = 9.5 %

⇒Expected Return for Farmer's Corp. = 9.5 %

c)

Now,

Given that,

Actual Return of Rocket Inc. = 19 %

Expected Return of Rocket Inc. = 27.7 %

⇒ Performance is better

Now,

Actual Return of Farmer's Corp.  = 12 %

Expected Return of Farmer's Corp.  = 9.5 %

⇒ Performance is worst

∴ we get

The Stock performed better once you take risk into account = Rocket Inc.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Current loss= (13,000)

Further investigation has revealed that $223,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $184,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product L07E is discontinued.

To determine whether product L07E should be discontinued or not, we need to use the following formula:

Effect on income=  Unavoidable fixed cost - current income

Effect on income= - 203,000 + 13,000

Effect on income= -$190,000

If product L07E is discontinued, income will decrease by $190,000

A college student has been looking for a new tires. The student feels that the warranty period is a good estimate of the tire life and that 10% interest rate is appropriate. Given 4 options find the minimum Equivalent Uniform Monthly Cost. (Note: the student wants to buy 4 tires)
Warranty time (months) | Tire price (all 4 tires)
12 | 31
24 | 51
36 | 69
48 | 94

Answers

Answer:

The minimum Equivalent Uniform Monthly Cost = $2.2264

Explanation:

To find the Equivalent Uniform Monthly Cost: EUAC = P(A/P,I,N)

Where i = 10% => 10% / 12 =

N = 12 , 24 , 36 & 48 months

12 months Warranty time = 31(A/P,10%/12,12)

12 months Warranty time = 31 * 0.0879

12 months Warranty time = $2.7254

24 months Warranty time =51(A/P,10%/12,24)

24 months Warranty time = 51 * 0.0461

24 months Warranty time = $2.3534

36 months Warranty time = 69(A/P,10%/12,36)

36 months Warranty time = 69 * 0.0323

36 months Warranty time = $2.2264

48 months Warranty time =94(A/P,10%/12,48)

48 months Warranty time = 94 * 0.0254

48 months Warranty time = $2.3841

You plan to purchase a $340,000 house using either a 25-year mortgage obtained from your local savings bank with a rate of 8.10 percent, or a 10-year mortgage with a rate of 7.10 percent. You will make a down payment of 20 percent of the purchase price.
a. Calculate the amount of interest and, separately, principal paid on each mortgage. What is the difference in interest paid?
b. Calculate your monthly payments on the two mortgages. What is the difference in the monthly payment on the two mortgages?

Answers

Answer:

a. Interest under 10 year mortgage = CUMIPMT(7.1%/12, 10*12, 340000*80%, 1, 10*12, 0)

Interest under 10 year mortgage = 108662.44

Interest under 25 year mortgage = CUMIPMT(8.1%/12, 10*12, 340000*80%, 1, 25*12, 0)

Interest under 25 year mortgage = 363217.16

Difference in interest = 363217.16 - 108662.44

Difference in interest = 254554.72

b. Monthly payment under 10 year = PMT(7.1%/12, 10*12, 340000*80%)

Monthly payment under 10 year = 3172.19

Monthly payment under 25 year = PMT(8.1%/12, 25*12, 340000*80%)

Monthly payment under 25 year = 2117.39

Difference in the monthly payment = 3172.19 - 2117.39

Difference in the monthly payment = 1054.80

Medical expenses 3,250
State income tax 300
Federal income tax 7,000
a. Calculate Daniel's AGI.
b. Should Daniel itemize his deductions from AGI or take the standard deduction? Explain.

Answers

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

A. Calculate Daniels AGI

To calculate Daniel's AGI, we have to get his gross income first which will be:

=

Salary income + Net rent + Dividend income

= $60,000 + $6000 + $3500

= $69500

His deductions FOR AGI will be calculated as:

Alimony paid = $12,000

Contribution to traditional IRA = $5,000

Loss on sale of real estate = $2,000 Deduction for AGI = ($19,000)

Adjusted gross income will now be:

= $69500 - $19000

= $50,500

b. Should Daniel itemize his deductions from AGI or take the standard deduction? Explain.

The itemized deductions include:

Mortgage interest on residence = $4,900

Add: Property tax on the residence = $1,200

Add: Contribution to United church = $2,100

Add: State income tax = $300

Total itemized deductions = $ 8,500

Since the total itemized deductions is $8,500 and the deduction for AGI is $19000, he should therefore itemize his deductions as it is cheaper.

volume_upclosed_captiondescriptionfullscreen According to Mikey, the founder of Holden Outerwear, manufacturing products at five different factories in China resulted in: a.increased paperwork at every step of the shipping process. b.streamlined one-time paperwork to clear customs. c.low-cost shipping and distribution of finished products. d.consolidated shipments which had to be sorted and distributed locally.

Answers

Answer: a. increased paperwork at every step of the shipping process.

Explanation:

There is no excerpt attached but this should be the answer.

Having five different factories in China means that Holden Outwear would have to transport things to and fro all five factories including raw materials, intermediate goods and finished goods.

This represents a lot of shipping and shipping comes with paperwork. It would therefore be no surprise if the Holden Outwear is having to go through the bane of increased paperwork for manufacturing at five different factories.

A division earning a positive profit will always increase its return on investment (ROI) if it increases operating expenses and Group of answer choices investment by the same dollar amount. sales by the same percentage. sales by the same dollar amount. investment by the same percentage.

Answers

Answer: Sales by the same dollar amount.

Explanation:

Return on Investment is calculated by the formula:

= (Sales - Operating income) / Investment

From the above, you can see that if investment is increased relative to sales and operating expenses are increased as well, ROI will decrease instead of increase.

This formula deals with dollar amounts not percentages so increasing sales by the same percentage is not right.

Only correct option is to increase sales dollar amount as this would lead to a higher numerator which would then give a larger ROI.

Determine each yearâs absorption costing net operating income.

Answers

The absorption costing net operating income for Year 1, 2 and 3 is $1,063,000, $1,038,000, $1,018,800 respectively.

The absorption costing NOI of Year 1

Change in inventory = Beginning Inventory - Ending Inventory

= 200 units - 170 units

= 30 units

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Beginning  = Beginning Inventory units *  Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= 200 units * $560

= $112,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Ending = Ending Inventory units * Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= 170 units * $560

= $95,200

Deferred in/(release)  =Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Ending - Fixed Manufacturing overhead Beginning

= $95,200 - $112,00

= -$16,800

Absorption Costing NOI = Variable Costing NOI + Fixed manufacturing overhead from inventory deferred during the period

= $1,012,400 + -$16,800

= $1,063,000

The absorption costing NOI of Year 2

Change in inventory = Beginning Inventory - Ending Inventory

= 170 units - 180 units

= -10 units

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Beginning  = Beginning Inventory units *  Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= 170 units * $560

= $95,200

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Ending = Ending Inventory units * Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= 180 units * $560

= $100,800

Deferred in/(release)  =Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Ending - Fixed Manufacturing overhead Beginning

= $100,800 - $95,200

= $5,600

Absorption Costing NOI = Variable Costing NOI + Fixed manufacturing overhead from inventory deferred during the period

= $1,032,400 + $5,600

= $1,038,000

The absorption costing NOI of Year 3

Change in inventory = Beginning Inventory - Ending Inventory

= 180 units - 220 units

= -40 units

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Beginning  = Beginning Inventory units *  Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= 180 units * $560

= $100,800

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Ending = Ending Inventory units * Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

= 220 units * $560

= $123,200

Deferred in/(release)  =Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Ending - Fixed Manufacturing overhead Beginning

= $123,200 - $100,800

= $22,400

Absorption Costing NOI = Variable Costing NOI + Fixed manufacturing overhead from inventory deferred during the period

= $996,400 + $22,400

= $1,018,800

The current spot price of WTI Houston Crude Oil Futures, expiring in 1-year, is $43 (per bbl). You can contract storage cost for oil, for one year, at 2% (of the underlying spot price) on a continuously compounded basis. The risk-free rate is 0.5% per annum on a continuously compounded basis. If the current spot price for oil is $40.50, what is the implied convenience yield for this contract?

Answers

Answer:

-3.49%

Explanation:

Theoretical price (Ft) = $43

Current spot price (St) = $40.5

Storage cost (u) = 2%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 0.5%

T = 1 year

Let y = Convenience yield

Ft = St e^(Rf + u - y)T

43 = 40.5 e^(0.005 + 0.02 - y)

y = - 3.49%

Hence, convenience yield = -3.49%

b. 240,000
c. 160,000
d. 420,000

Answers

Answer:

b. 240,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total amount of working capital

First step is to calculate the Current assets

Using this formula

Current assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Prepaid insurance

Let plug in the formula

Current assets= $70,000 + 100,000 + 140,000 + 80,000

Current assets= $390000

Second step is to calculate the Current liabilities using this formula

Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries and wages payable

Let plug in the formula

Current liabilities= $130,000 + 20,000

Current liabilities= $75,000

Now let calculate the working capital using this formula

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Working capital = $390,000 - 150,000

Working capital = $240,000

Therefore the Working capital is $240,000
