Answer:
InfoScan.
Explanation:
A UPC is an acronym for universal product code. UPC is typically used for the identification of a specific product and its manufacturer (vendor) through a unique code that is printed on the product.
Basically, a universal product code (UPC) comprises of two (2) main parts;
A machine-readable barcode that contains sets of vertical black lines.
A unique twelve (12) digit number placed beneath or adjacent to the machine-readable barcode.
The first six-digits of the UPC represents the manufacturer and is printed on all of its products while the next five-digits is the product's unique reference number (item number) and the last digit is typically known as a check digit, used for the verification of the authenticity of a UPC.
Generally, the universal product code are usually scanned with a barcode scanner and this makes it easier to identify a product, as well as its price.
In this scenario, CVS pharmacy collects data from bar-coded products, which can be evaluated and combined to monitor its products that are in demand by customers. Also, this method is used to track pricing data to make sure that its pricing remains competitive among rivals. Thus, thiis is an example of InfoScan used for systemically scanning price information on products.
You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $24. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.32 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $27. The stock's beta is 0.6, rf is 10%, and E[rm] = 20%. What is the stock's abnormal return?
Answer:
2%
Explanation:
Actual return = [(Dividend + Capital gain) / Purchase price] * 100
= [($1.32 + $27 - $24) / $24] * 100
= 18%
Expected return = rf + Beta*(E(rm) - rf)
= 10% + 0.6*(20% - 10%)
= 16%
Abnormal return = Actual return - Expected return
Abnormal return = 18% - 16%
Abnormal return = 2%

17. Calculating Future Values Streamsong Credit Bank is offering 4.7 percent compounded daily on its savings accounts. If you deposit $4,750 today, how much will you have in the account in 5 years
Answer:
Future value = $5912.87
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
Interest rate = 4.7%
Present value of deposit = $4750
Time period, n = 5 years
Future value = Present value ( 1 + interest rate)^n
Future value = 4750 ( 1 + (4.7%/365)^5*365

Crane Company has 900 shares of 4%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2018. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2017 or 2018. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 totala) $400.b) $3600.c) $7200.d) $0.
Answer:
c) $7200
Explanation:
Preference dividends have preference when it comes to payment of dividends.
This means that we pay the Preference Stock holders their dividend (which is fixed) and there after the remainder is paid up to the Common Stockholders
Preference dividend = 900 shares x $100 x 4 % = $3600
When Preference Stock is Cumulative, it means that all previous dividends in arrears have to be paid up before any current year distributions are made.
2018
Cumulative Preference dividend = $3600 (2017) + $3600 (2018) = $7200
therefore,
Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 total $7200

The company's ROE is 18.4%, and it pays no dividends. Estimate next year's interest expense assuming that interest rates will fall by 34% and the company keeps a constant equity multiplier, Calculate next year's estimated interest expense
Answer:
$67214400
Explanation:
Average rate of interest = 8% = 0.08
Amount paid by leveraged Inc ( previous year ) = $100 million
Growth rate retention = 1 ( since company pays no dividend )
ROE = 18.4% = 0.184
Determine next year's estimated interest expense
Given that Interest rates will fall by 34%
interest expenses = $100,000,000
estimated Interest rate = 0.34
First step : calculate total debt
= interest expense / interest rate
= 100,000,000 / 0.08 = $1,250,000,000
next determine the growth rate
= ROE * growth rate retention = 0.184 * 1 = 0.184
next determine next year's debt
= Total debt * ( 1 + 0.184 )
= 1,250,000,000 * 1.0184 = $1,273,000,000
next determine Interest rate for next year
= interest rate - ( Interest rate * estimated interest rate )
= 0.08 - ( 0.34 * 0.08 ) = 0.0528 = 5.28%
Finally determine next year's estimated interest expense
= 5.28% * $1,273,000,000
= 0.0528 * 1,273,000,000 = $67214400
Waterway Industries Recorded operating data for its Cheap division for the year. Waterway requires its return to be 10%. Sales $1600000 Controllable margin 88000 Total average assets 4400000 Fixed costs 100000 What is the ROI for the year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, first we need to get the value of contribution margin , which is computed as;
Controllable margin = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed cost
$88,000 = Contribution margin - $100,000
Contribution margin = $88,000 + $100,000
Contribution margin = $188,000
Also,
Net income = Contribution margin - Total fixed expense
Net income = $188,000 - $100,000
Net income = $88,000
Return on investment = Net income ÷ Average operating assets
Return on investment = $88,000 ÷ $4,400,000
Return on investment = 2%
Therefore, the ROI for the year is 2%

a) $15,105,000.
b) $15,300,000.
c) $15,495,000.
d) $17,800,000.
Answer:
c) $15,495,000.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the consolidated cost of goods sold
First step is to calculate the Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =($2,500,000 − $1,850,000)*30%
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =$650,000 × (30%)
Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred =$195,000
Now let calculate the Consolidated COGS
Using this formula
Consolidated COGS = Parent's COGS+Subsidiary's COGS -COGS in Intra-Entity Transfer+Intra-Entity Gross Profit Deferred
Let plug in the formula
Consolidated COGS=$11,200,000+ $6,600,000− $2,500,000+ $195,000
Consolidated COGS= $15,495,000
Therefore the consolidated cost of goods sold is
