Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows: Division A Division B Division C Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000 Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000 Net operating income $ 214,200 $ 746,200 $ 118,900 Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 % Required: 1. Compute the return on investment (ROI) for each division using the formula stated in terms of margin and turnover. 2. Compute the residual income (loss) for each division. 3. Assume that each division is presented with an investment opportunity that would yield a 19% rate of return. a. If performance is being measured by ROI, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity? b. If performance is being measured by residual income, which division or divisions will probably accept or reject the opportunity
Answer:
1. Return on Investment = Net operating income (NOI)/Average operating assets (AOA) * 100
Division A = 21%
Division B = 32.8%
Division C = 7.25%
2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $40,800
Division B = $0
Division C = ($110,700)
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.
3-b. Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selected sales and operating data for three divisions of different structural engineering firms are given as follows:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000
Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000
Net operating income $ 214,200 $ 746,200 $ 118,900
Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 %
1. Return on Investment = Net operating income (NOI)/Average operating assets (AOA) * 100
= 21% 32.8% 7.25%
Division A = 21% ($214,200/$1,020,000 * 100)
Division B = 32.8% ($746,200/$2,275,000 * 100)
Division C = 7.25% ( $118,900/$1,640,000 * 100)
2. Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $40,800 ($214,200 - ($1,020,000 * 17%) )
Division B = $0 ($746,200 - ($2,275,000 * 32.8%))
Division C =($110,700) ( $118,900 - ($1,640,000 * 14%))
Investment opportunity that would yield a 19% rate of return:
Division A Division B Division C
Sales $ 5,100,000 $ 9,100,000 $ 8,200,000
Average operating assets $ 1,020,000 $ 2,275,000 $ 1,640,000
Net operating income (19%) $ 193,800 $ 432,250 $ 311,600
Minimum required rate of return 17.00 % 32.80 % 14.00 %
3-a. If performance is being measured by ROI, Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it because the actual rate of return of 19% is less than the minimum required rate of return of 32.8%.
3-b. Divisions A and C will accept the opportunity, while Division B will reject it.
Residual income (loss) = Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Target Rate of Return)
Division A = $20,400 ($193,800 - ($1,020,000 * 17%))
Division B = ($313,950) ($432,250 - ($2,275,000 * 32.8%))
Division C = $82,600 ($311,600 - ($1,640,000 * 14%))

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales Operating Total Assets Current Liabilities
Income
Snow Sports $5,700,000 1,010,500 4,300,000 450,000
Non- SnowSport 8,500,000 1,332,500 6,500,000 750,000
ROI (Return on Investments) = Operating income/Total assets * 100
Snow Sports = $1,010,500/$4,300,000 * 100 = 23.5%
Non-SnowSport = $1,332,500/$6,500,000 * 100 = 20.5%
When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is ____, and a put option is ____. Group of answer choices out of the money; in the money out of the money; out of the money in the money; in the money in the money; out of the money
Answer:
in the money; out of the money.
Explanation:
Secondary market can be defined as a market where various investors sell and buy securities from other investors.
Some examples of secondary market around the world are New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange (LSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE).
On the other hand, the primary market refers to the market where these securities that are being sold are issued or created.
In trading and investment, a stock option can be defined as a contract that states that the buyer as the right to buy (call) or sell (put) an asset at a particular price at any time but necessarily obligational. Thus, it is strictly at the discretion of the buyer (investor).
Generally, in a long (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will rise because he or she will typically profit from a rise in price.
However, a short (buy) position, a buyer hopes that the price of stocks will fall because he or she will typically profit from a fall in price.
A spot rate is the cash or exchange rate placed on a contract in the stock exchange market.
When the existing spot rate exceeds the exercise price, a call option is in the money, and a put option is out of the money.

Factory Overhead Volume Variance Dvorak Company produced 5,100 units of product that required 3.5 standard hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.50 per hour at 18,750 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
$2,250 Favourable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50 × [18,750 hrs. – (5,100 units × 3.5 hrs.)]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×[18,750 hrs. – 17,850 hrs]
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2.50×900
Fixed factory overhead volume variance=$2,250 Favourable
Therefore the fixed factory overhead volume variance will be $2,250 Favourable
The following statements provide some analysis of policy regarding the global financial crisis of the late 2000s. Categorize each statement as positive or normative. Statement Positive or Normative?
a. The financial crisis was caused by faulty mathematical models that encouraged excessive risk taking.
b. The lack of effective regulation contributed to a risk-seeking culture in the financial services industry.
c. Central banks should have imposed tighter regulations on banks to prevent the financial crisis.
d. Executives of banks that received financial assistance from the government should not have received bonuses.
Answer:
Positive statement
Positive statement
normative statement
normative statement
Explanation:
Positive Economics is objective and statements are usually based on facts and economic theory. They can be tested.
For example, the statement - the lack of effective regulation contributed to a risk-seeking culture in the financial services industry- can be test empirically
Normative economics is based value judgements, opinions and perspectives. For example, the statement - Central banks should have imposed tighter regulations on banks to prevent the financial crisis- is based on opinion. Everyone would have an opinion on what the Central bank should have done
using a scale: Three boys Isaac ,Alex and Ken are standing in different parts of a field .Isaac is 100 metres north of Alex and Ken is 120 metres east of Alex .Find the compass bearing of Ken from Isaac
Answer:
156 m South East of Isaac
Explanation:
This is going to be solved by using Pythagoras theorem
We have the adjacent of the triangle as the Eastern distance between Ken and Alex, and that is 120 m. We have the opposite side to be the Northern distance between Isaac and Alex to be 100 m
If so, then we know that the hypotenuse side is the distance between Isaac and Ken. Using Pythagoras, we know that
100² + 120² = x²
x² = 10000 + 14400
x² = 24400
x =√24400
x = 156.2 m
The compass bearing of Ken, from Isaac then is,
Ken is 156.2 m South East of Isaac
In its first year, Barsky Corporation made charitable contributions totaling $30,000. The corporation's taxable income before any charitable contribution deduction was $250,000. In its second year, Barsky made charitable contributions of $15,000 and earned taxable income before the contribution deduction of $300,000. Assume neither year is 2020. Required: Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its first year. Compute Barsky's allowable charitable contribution deduction and its final taxable income for its second year
Answer:
Year 1:
total income before charitable contributions = $250,000
limit on charitable contributions = $250,000 x 10% = $25,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $250,000 - $25,000 = $225,000
charitable contributions carried forward = $30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000
Year 2:
total income before charitable contributions = $300,000
limit on charitable contributions = $300,000 x 10% = $30,000
taxable income after charitable contributions = $300,000 - $15,000 - $5,000 = $280,000
Kuzio Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 150 100 % Variable expenses 60 40 % Contribution margin $ 90 60 % The company is currently selling 7,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $214,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $7,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change? rev: 03_09_2018_
Answer:
Effect on income= $9,600 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= $90
The marketing manager believes that a $7,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= increase in total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 190*90 - 7,500
Effect on income= 17,100 - 7,500
Effect on income= $9,600 increase
Evan phoned his representative when he received his most recent statement on his deferred annuity. Evan is 65 and purchased the fixed annuity seven years ago to be a conservative part of his portfolio. Evan has read and heard a lot about how the market is beginning to take off and that variable annuities have considerable growth potential. He wants to get out of the fixed annuity and purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return. The representative should:
Answer: Review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs
Explanation:
The options include:
A. Recommend that Evan consider an exchange into a variable life insurance policy because it has growth potential with a death benefit.
B. Recommend that Evan surrender the annuity and invest in bond mutual funds because they work similar and cost less.
C. Review Evan’s investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
D. Update his investor profile factors and risk tolerance, and discuss with Evan the long term focus of a variable annuity and how it will outperform the fixed annuity within the first couple of years.
Based on the information given in the question, the best thing that the representative should do will be to review Evan's investor profile factors and other facts to determine a suitable course of action to address his concerns and needs.
When Evan's investor profile factors is checked, then the representative can then inform Evans about the appropriate thing to do and if it's appropriate for him to purchase a variable annuity to earn a higher return.
Going ahead by getting out of the fixed annuity and purchasing a variable annuity without reviewing Evan's investor's profile isn't appropriate.
The Chilton Corporation specializes in manufacturing one type of desk lamp. Chilton allocates variable manufacturing overhead costs on the basis of machine hours. Chilton budgeted 0.3 machine hours per lamp and allocates overhead at a rate of $1.90 per machine hour. Last year Chilton manufactured 19,000 lamps, used 7,600 machine hours and incurred actual overhead costs of $12,920. What was Chilton's variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance last year?
A. $9,660 favorable
B. $4,140 unfavorable
C. $4,140 favorable
D. $9,660 unfavorable
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, we can compute variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance to be;
= (SA - AQ) × SR
Where
Standard quantity = SQ = 19,000
Actual Quantity = AQ = 7,600
Standard Rate = SR = $1.9
Variable manufacturing overhead efficiency variance
= [(19,000 × 0.3) - 7,600] × $1.9
= (5,700 - 7,600) × $1.9
= $3,610 U
ABC Corporation has total assets of 120 million, total liabilities of 80 million, Goodwill of 12 million, and 4 millions of shares outstanding. If you believe the reasonable price to tangible book value should be 1.6 for this company, what is the implied share price of ABC
Answer: $16
Explanation:
Implied share price = Book value per share * Price to tangible book value
Book value per share = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares outstanding
= (120 - 80) / 4
= $10
Implied share price = 10 * 1.6
= $16
Andrew is deciding whether to remain in the home he has lived in for the past ten years, which is located very near his work, or to move into a newer home that is located in the suburbs farther from his job. The old house was purchased for $160,000 and has a market value of $220,000. The new home can be purchased for $285,000. Which of the following is not relevant to Andrew's decision?
a. Driving distance to work
b. Cost of the old house
c. Market value of the old house
d. Cost of the new house
Answer:
The decision that is not relevant to Andrew is:
b. Cost of the old house.
Explanation:
a) The cost of the old house ($160,000) is not relevant to Andrew decision challenges. It is a sunk or past cost. Past costs are not relevant because they do not make a difference in the decision or the alternative to choose. Since Andrew will be impacted by the driving distance to work from his new house, the market value of the old house, and the cost of the new house, these are relevant in Andrew's decision.

Suppose that Expresso and Beantown are the only two firms that sell coffee. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises:
Beantown
Advertise Doesn't Advertise
Expresso Advertise 8, 8 15, 2
Doesn't Advertise 2, 15 9, 9
For example, the upper right cell shows that if Expresso advertises and Beantown doesn't advertise, Expresso will make a profit of $15 million, and Beantown will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Expresso and Beantown are both profit-maximizing firms.
If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ ____________ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $ _________ million if Beantown does not advertise. If Expresso decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ ____________ million if Beantown advertises and a profit of $_________ million if Beantown does not advertise.
Answer:
$15 Million
$8 Million
Explanation:
Payoff Matrix is as follows: Beantown
Expresso Advertise = Advertise Doesn't Advertise
(8,8) (15,2)
Doesn't Advertise (2,15) (9,9)
If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $2 million if Beantown
advertises, it follows the strategy (Advertise, Advertise)
He earns a profit of $15 million if Beantown does not Advertise, here it follows the strategy (Advertise, Doesn't Advertise).

The following data are available relating to the performance of Seminole Fund and the market portfolio: Seminole Market Portfolio Average return 18 % 14 % Standard deviations of returns 30 % 22 % Beta 1.4 1.0 Residual standard deviation 4.0 % 0.0 % The risk-free return during the sample period was 6%. If you wanted to evaluate the Seminole Fund using the M2 measure, what percent of the adjusted portfolio would need to be invested in T-Bills
Answer:
0.8%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what percent of the adjusted portfolio would need to be invested in T-Bills
Using this formula
M2 =(Rp - Rf) * σ m / σ p - (Rm - Rf)
Whrere,
Rp represent Return on Seminole Fund (14%)
Rf represent Risk free rate of return(6%)
Rm represent Return on Market Portfolio(18%),
σ m represent Standard Deviation of return on market portfolio (22%)
σ p represent Standard Deviation of return on fund (30%)
Let plug in the formula
M2= (18 - 6) * 22 / 30 - (14 - 6)
M2= (12 * 0.73 ) - 8
M2= 8.8 - 8
M2= 0.8%
Therefore the percent of the adjusted portfolio that would need to be invested in T-Bills is 0.8%
On January 1, 2021, Rapid Airlines issued $240 million of its 8% bonds for $221 million. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Rapid Airlines records interest at the effective rate and elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $229 million as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. Rapid determined that $1,000,000 of the increase in fair value was due to a decline in general interest rates.

Product A consists of two units of Subassembly B, two units of C, and one unit of D. B is composed of four units of E and two units of F. C is made of two units of H and three units of D. H is made of five units of E and two units of G. To produce 100 units of A, determine the numbers of units of B, C, D, E, F, G, and H required using the low-level coded product structure tree.
Level 0 100 units of A
Level 1 units of B
units of C
Level 2 units of F
units of H
units of D
Level 3 units of E
units of G
Answer:
[tex]B = 200\ units[/tex] [tex]C = 200\ units[/tex]
[tex]F = 400\ units[/tex] [tex]H = 400\ units[/tex]
[tex]D = 700\ units[/tex] [tex]E = 2800\ units[/tex]
[tex]G = 800\ units[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]A = 100\ units[/tex]
See attachment for right presentation of question
Solving (a): The low level coded product structure tree
This is plotted by considering the hierarchy or level of each product item and their corresponding units.
See attachment (2)
Solving (b): The number of units of each.
To do this, we multiply the units of the given product by the number of unit the fall under.
So, we have:
Products B and C are directly under A, so we multiply their units by units of A.
[tex]B = 2 * A = 2 * 100[/tex]
[tex]B = 200\ units[/tex]
[tex]C = 2 * A = 2 * 100[/tex]
[tex]C = 200\ units[/tex]
Product F is directly under B, so we multiply its units by units of B.
[tex]F = 2 * B = 2 * 200[/tex]
[tex]F = 400\ units[/tex]
Product H is directly under C, so
[tex]H = 2 * C = 2 * 200[/tex]
[tex]H = 400\ units[/tex]
Product D has of 3 units of C and 1 unit of A. So:
[tex]D = 3 * C + 1 * A[/tex]
[tex]D = 3 * 200 + 1 * 100[/tex]
[tex]D = 700\ units[/tex]
Product E has of 4 units of B and 5 units of H. So:
[tex]E = 4 * B + 5 * H[/tex]
[tex]E = 4 *200 + 5 * 400[/tex]
[tex]E = 2800\ units[/tex]
Product G has 2 units of H.
So:
[tex]G = 2 * H = 2 * 400[/tex]
[tex]G = 800\ units[/tex]
