Decision Making Mystic Bottling Company bottles popular beverages in the Bottling Department. The beverages are produced by blending concentrate with water and sugar. The concentrate is purchased from a concentrate producer. The concentrate producer sets higher prices for the more popular concentrate flavors. A simplified Bottling Department cost of production report separating the cost of bottling the four flavors follows:
A B C D E
1 Orange Cola Lemon-Lime Root Beer
2 Concentrate $ 4,625 $129,000 $ 105,000 $ 7,600
3 Water 1,250 30,000 25,000 2,000
4 Sugar 3,000 72,000 60,000 4,800
5 Bottles 5,500 132,000 110,000 8,800
6 Flavor changeover 3,000 4,800 4,000 10,000
7 Conversion cost 1,750 24,000 20,000 2,800
8 Total cost transferred to finished goods $19,125 $391,800 $324,000 $36,000
9 Number of cases 2,500 60,000 50,000 4,000
10 Beginning and ending work in process inventories are negligible, so they are omitted from the cost of production report. The flavor changeover cost represents the cost of cleaning the bottling machines between production runs of different flavors.
Determine the cost per case for each of the four flavors. Round your answers to two decimal places

Pacific Packaging's ROE last year was only 6%; but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-capital ratio of 55%, which will result in annual interest charges of $152,000. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock and total assets equal total invested capital. Management projects an EBIT of $452,000 on sales of $4,000,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 3.6. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be 40%. If the changes are made, what will be the company's return on equity
Answer:
36%
Explanation:
For the computation of the company's return on equity first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Step 1
Earnings before tax = EBIT - Interest
= $452,000 - $152,000
= $300,000
Step 2
Earnings after interest and taxes = Earnings before tax - Tax
= $300,000 - ($300,000 × 40%)
= $300,000 - $120,000
= $180,000
Step 3
Asset turnover ratio = Total revenue ÷ Total assets
3.6 = $4,000,000 ÷ Total assets
Total assets = $1,111,111.11
Step 4
Equity ratio = 1 - Debt ratio
= 1 - 0.55
= 0.45
Step 5
Total Equity = Equity ratio × Total assets
= 0.45 × $1,111,111.11
= $500,000
and finally
Return on Equity = Net income ÷ Equity
= $180,000 ÷ $500,000
= 0.36
or
= 36%
Fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract. This year, he began receiving a $1,300 monthly payment that will continue for his life. On the basis of his age, he can expect to receive $312,000. How much of each monthly payment is taxable income to Mr. Fairhold
Answer: $1091.61
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract and that this year, he began receiving a $1,300 monthly payment that will continue for his life and based on his age, he can expect to receive $312,000. The amount of each monthly payment is taxable income to Mr. Fairhold goes thus:
Based on the question, Mr Fairhold will have a tax free return of the $50,000 paid. The exclusion ratio will be the investment divided by the expected return. This will be:
= $50,000/$312,000
= 0.1603
Since he received monthly payment of $1,300 and exclusion ratio is 0.1603, the tax free return on investment will be:
= $1,300 × 0.1603
= $208.39
Taxable annuity payment will now be:
= $1300 - $208.39
= $1091.61
Tony saved enough money to place $125,500 in an investment generating 10% compounded monthly. He wants to collect a monthly income of $1,350, at the beginning of each month, for as long as the money lasts. How many months will Tony have this income coming to him?
A.165.
B.145.
C.192.
D.162.
Answer:
The answer is 162 months, option (D)
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Tony saved an amount of money =$125,500
Investment generates a =10% compounded monthly
A monthly income of =$1350
Now, we have to find How many months will Tony have this income coming to him
Thus
The current income value will be equal to = $125,500.
So,
125,500 = 1350 + 1350/1.0077 + 1350/1.0077^2 + 1350/1.0077^3 + ... + 1350/1.0077^n
125,500 = 1350 * 1.0077 / 0.0077 * ( 1 - (1/1.0077)^n )
Therefore n= 162 months
9 Wheeling Company produces and sells bikes. It expects to sell 22,000 bikes in the month of April. It had 1,200 bikes in Finished Goods Inventory at the end of March. Wheeling Company would like to complete operations in the month of April with at least 1,500 completed bikes in inventory. The bikes sell for $100 each. How many bikes would Wheeling need to produce in April? a. 19,700 bikes c. 18,800 bikes b. 22,300 bikes d. 20,300 bikes
13) The _________ system is an integrated system capable of providing access to real-time data from the various funcitonal areas of a company. a. lean accounting management b. operational control information c. enterprise resource planning d. financial management information
14)In a company that supplies muffins to bakeries, which of the following would be considered an input? a. cashier c. delivered muffins b. flour d. None of the above
Answer: 9. b. 22,300 bikes
13. c. enterprise resource planning
14. Flour
Explanation:
1. 22,000 bikes need to be sold in April.
Let x be the number of bikes required
The equation then should be;
22,000 = Opening stock + x - Closing stock
x = 22,000 - opening stock + closing stock
x = 22,000 - 1,200 + 1,500
x = 22,300 bikes.
2. Entreprise Resource Planning allows for the integration of the various functions of a company to enable faster information processing and dissemination. It therefore allows for the provision of access to real-time data from the various funcitonal areas of a company.
14. The company supplies Muffins that they bake and an input refers to the goods or services required to produce the final good. Flour is used in the banking of the muffin which is the final good hence flour must be an input.

Similar to stock prices, bond values are derived as the discounted value of all cash flows received from bond ownership in exchange for the bond's price. The two main cash flows an investor receives in exchange for purchasing a bond are:
Answer: b. Interest or Coupon Payments (PMT) throughout the bond's life expand and the repayment of the principal or Face Value at the bond's maturity (FV).
Explanation:
For most bonds, a bond holder receives interest payments from the bond issuer in terms of coupon payments for the duration of the life of the bond. The coupon payment is a steady payment based on the par value of the bond.
When the bond matures, the bond holder receives the Principal/Face Value of the bond back. This value of usually the Par value of the bond regardless of how much the bond holder bought the bond for.

Building 0 190, 398
Land 0 47,511
Accounts payable 79,245 39,303
Note payable 0 137,909
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

firm uses both labor and machines in production. Explain why an increase in the average wage rate causes both a movement along the demand curve and a shift of the demand curve. An increase in the average wage causes a movement
Answer:
The answer is explained below
Explanation:
When a firm increases the average wage rate, the firm would employ fewer workers causing a movement up along the demand curve and a shift to the left of the labor demand curve. As wage increase, the firm production will reduce because of a decrease in number of staffs, the causes the number of machines needed for production to reduce causing the marginal product of labor to shift to the left. The labor demand is further reduced, the firm then employ less labor at a higher wage.

Coronado Company had the following department information for the month: Total materials costs $55000 Equivalent units of materials 10000 Total conversion costs $81000 Equivalent units of conversion costs 15000 What is the total manufacturing cost per unit
Answer:
10.9 per unit
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost per unit= Material cost per unit + Conversion cost per unit
Material Cost per Unit= Total materials cos / Equivalent units of materials
Material cost per unit = 55000 / 10000 = 5.5
Conversion cost per unit = Total conversion costs / Equivalent units of conversion costs
Conversion cost per unit = 81,000 / 15000 = 5.4
Hence, Total manufacturing cost per unit = 5.5 +5.4 = 10.9 per unit

You work for a marketing agency advising a client considering whether to drop prices during an economic downturn. The client, a manufacturer of children's outdoor swing sets, believes that reducing prices would lead to more sales. The client is aware that lower prices would yield less revenue per sale. However, the client is unaware of any other possible negative consequences of dropping prices.
1. Advise the client of some of those possible consequences. Include a description of the psychological issues at play in dropping a brand's price.
2. Identify and evaluate price-adjustment strategies beyond a straightforward reduction in retail price that the client should consider.
Explanation:
1- One of the pieces of advice I could give the customer about lowering the balance sheet price is that this could generate different interpretations for the potential consumer, as there may be a perception that the price reduction of the product occurred due to the loss of product quality in relation to competing products.
2- There are other effective strategies for managing an economic crisis in addition to a direct reduction in the retail price, such as the psychological price strategy, which are the marketing techniques used by salespeople so that consumers respond emotionally to the product, and not a logical way, which generates a perception of greater benefit for the consumer, which can lead to increased sales without having to lower the price of the product.
The president has all of the following expressed powers under the constitution EXCEPT:_________
a. to grant reprieves and pardons for federal offences.
b. to convene Congress in special sessions.
c. to commission officers in the armed forces.
d. to exercise the line-item veto.
e. to appoint ambassadors, subject to Senate confirmation.
Answer:
d. to exercise the line-item veto.
Explanation:
Unlike the other powers in option a, b, c, and e, the power to exercise the line-item veto is not expressly stated in the US Constitution. This power, which would allow the President to nullify or reject specific provisions of a bill (instead of vetoing the whole bill), has been widely debated in Congress and is not a power that the US President has nowadays. However, most American States have given their governors line-item veto powers to a certain extend.
A constitution is a compilation of core concepts or precedents that function as the legal justification for a polity, institution, or another form of institution and, in most cases, specify how that organization is to be governed.
The correct option is d. to exercise the line-item veto.
The ability to wield the line-item veto is not clearly defined in the US Constitutional, unlike some of the other authorities under choices a, b, c, and e.
This ability, which would allow the President to veto certain portions of a measure rather than the entire package, has been hotly disputed in Congress and is not currently available to the US President. Most American states, on the other hand, have given their governors line-item veto powers to some extent.

Victoria Enterprises expects earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) next year of $ 2.5 million. Its depreciation and capital expenditures will both be $ 295 comma 000, and it expects its capital expenditures to always equal its depreciation. Its working capital will increase by $ 53 comma 000 over the next year. Its tax rate is 40 %. If its WACC is 11 % and its FCFs are expected to increase at 4 % per year in perpetuity, what is its enterprise value?
Answer:
Value of Victoria Enterprises= $21,498,285.71
Explanation:
Free cash flow represents the amount that is left to all the providers of capital after the payment of all all operating expenses, working capital and investment in fixed asset expenditures.
It is computed as cash flow made from operation less capital expenditures
For Victoria Enterprises
The Free cash flow
= EBIT(1-T) + depreciation- increase in capital expenditure - increase in working capital
= 2.5 × (1-0.4) + 0.295 - 0.295 - 0.053
= 2,500,000 × (1-0.4) + 295,000 -295,000- 53,000
FCFF= $1,447,000
Value of a firm = FCFF (1+g)/(WACC-g)
g- growth rate - 4%, WACC- 11%, FCFF-1,447,000
Value of Victoria = 1,447,000 × (1+0.04)/(0.11- 0.04) = 21,498,285.71
Value of Victoria= $21,498,285.71
A company will pay a $2 per share dividend in 1 year. The dividend in 2 years will be $4 per share, and it is expected that dividends will grow at 5% per year thereafter. The expected rate of return on the stock is 12%.
Required:
a. What is the current price of the stock?
b. What is the expected price of the stock in a year?
c. Show that the expected return, 12%, equals dividend yield plus capital appreciation.
Answer:
current price P = $ 52.81
The expected price of the stock after one year = $57.16
The Total expected return for any investor after one year = 12%
Explanation:
Given that:
Dividend paid in 1 year = $2/ share
Dividend paid in 2 years = $4/share
Expect growth rate of the dividends g = 5% = 0.05
Expected rate of return on the stock r =12% = 0.12
Required:
a. What is the current price of the stock?
To calculate the current price of the stock ; we need to first determine the terminal value of the stock which can be done by using the formula:
[tex]Terminal \ Value = \dfrac{Dividend \ for \ the \ second \ year*(1+g)}{r-g}[/tex]
[tex]Terminal \ Value = \dfrac{4*(1+0.05)}{0.12-0.05}[/tex]
[tex]Terminal \ Value = \dfrac{4*(1.05)}{0.07}[/tex]
[tex]Terminal \ Value = \dfrac{4.2}{0.07}[/tex]
Terminal value = $60
Now; the current price of the stock is calculate as follows:
[tex]current \ price \ P = \dfrac{\$ 2}{(1+0.12)^1} + \dfrac{\$ 4 }{(1+0.12)^2} + \dfrac{\$ 60}{(1+0.12)^2}[/tex]
[tex]current \ price \ P = \dfrac{\$ 2}{1.12} + \dfrac{\$ 4 }{1.2544} + \dfrac{\$ 60}{1.2544}[/tex]
current price P = $1.79 + $3.19 + $47.83
current price P = $ 52.81
b) What is the expected price of the stock in a year?
The expected price of the stock after one year = [tex]\dfrac{\$ 4}{(1+0.12)^1}+ \dfrac{\$60}{(1+0.12)^1}[/tex]
The expected price of the stock after one year = $3.58 + $53.58
The expected price of the stock after one year = $57.16
c. Show that the expected return, 12%, equals dividend yield plus capital appreciation.
We understand now that the current price of the sock = $52.81
and the expected price of the stock after one year = $57.16 ; so any investor who purchased the stock at the current price will receive a dividend of $2 after one year.
Hence;
The Total expected return for any investor after one year =( (price after one year - current price ) + Dividend received) /current price
The Total expected return for any investor after one year =( ($57.16 - $52.81)+ $2 )/$52.81
The Total expected return for any investor after one year = ($4.35+$2)/$52.81
The Total expected return for any investor after one year = 0.12
The Total expected return for any investor after one year = 12%

Explanation:
Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the patent on a straight-line basis since 2017, when it was acquired at a cost of $10.8 million at the beginning of that year. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the beginning of 2021.Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2021 to reflect the revised estimate.
Answer:
The appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2021 to reflect the revised estimate would be as follows:
Amortization Expense Dr. 3 million
Patent Cr. 3 million
Explanation:
In order to Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2021 to reflect the revised estimate we would have to make the following calculations:
Calculation after the Change:
Original Cost =$10.8 million
Annual Amortization (Old) =$10.8 million/9 = $1.2 million
Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = 1.2*4 = 4.8 million
Unamortized Value = 10.8 - 4.8 = 6 million
Remaining Life = 6 - 4 = 2 Years
New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life = 6/2 = 3 million
Therefore, the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2021 to reflect the revised estimate would be as follows:
Amortization Expense Dr. 3 million
Patent Cr. 3 million
1. If you are a major shareholder or an owner of a company, what could you do to make sure that your hired top managers are working in your interest? 2. If a firm is growing at its internal growth rate forever, what will happen to its capital structure or debt equity ratio? And why? 3. If you want to start a business, what long-term investments do you plan to choose and what assumptions and methods do you use to estimate your sales growth rates?
Answer:
1) As a shareholder, I have no direct control over what happens in the business. I'd influence the HR situation via the CEO. As the owner, I'd have a site down with the Head of HR to design a compensation plan that ties the performance of the Managers to the profitability of the company. One of such HR strategies are:
Profit-Sharing Incentives: This can be designed to be enforced on an enterprise-level or at the Business Unit Level or both. A profit-sharing compensation system ensures that a percentage (which is usually decided by the Remuneration Committee) is distributed according to points accrued based on the company's performance assessment for each unit/individual Sales/New Business Commission/Bonuses: This is a bonus/commission given for every sale/new business brought in to the company This encourages everyone in the company to become a salesperson. How much commission to give will depend on the advice fo the Chief Financial officer and the HR department.2) Internal Growth Rate is the maximum level of expansion attainable for a company using only self-financing or profits reinvested.
When this is the case, the company's capital structure will comprise mostly of ploughed back profits.
The Debt to Equity ratio will tend towards zero. This is because the company is funded more from Equity than from debt.
3) A long-term investment refers to an asset remains in the company's holding/books for a year and above. Its value is usually recorded on the assets part of a company's balance sheet. Investments which can be held for the long term are stocks, bonds, real estate, and interest earning savings.
Prior to igniting a startup, best practice requires that one holds a combination of various kinds of long-term investments. This portfolio will depend on a host of various factors such as:
Risk Affinity andEconomic PulseGovernment Bonds, Rent earning Real Estate and Interest-Earning Savings are relatively safe options. A ratio of 20:20:40 respectively will make for a great combination. The ratio for cash reserves is highest because, the higher the cash, the higher the interest. Besides, it's safe to keep maintain longterm investment that can be quickly converted when the need arises.
Sales Forecasting
As a startup, I'd go for the Intuitive Forecasting Method.
This method has a lot of demerits as it is not based on historical evidence or data. However, it's the best way to start off. If combined with market intelligence, (that is, data of businesses in a similar industry) this method can prove to be more effective.
Cheers!
