Use the following information to answer Questions 12 - 15. Below is selected data for Gertup Corporation as of 12/31/05: Gertup has maintained the same inventory levels throughout 2005. If end of year inventory turnover was increased to 12 through more efficient relationships with suppliers, how much cash would be freed up (pick closest number)

Answers

Answer:

the cash that should be freed up is $267

Explanation:

The computation of the cash that would be freed up is shown below:

As we know that

The inventory turnover is

= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory

12 = $14,800  ÷ average inventory

So, the average inventory is 1,233

Now the cash that should be freed up is  

= 1,500 - 1,233

= $267

hence, the cash that should be freed up is $267

Use the following information to answer question. Madelyn owns a small pottery factory. She can make 1,000 pieces of pottery per year and sell them for $100 each. It costs Madelyn $20,000 for the raw materials to produce the 1,000 pieces of pottery. She has invested $100,000 in her factory and equipment: $50,000 from her savings and $50,000 borrowed at 10 percent (assume that she could have loaned her money out at 10 percent, too). Madelyn can work at a competing pottery factory for $40,000 per year.

Required:
The economic profit at madelyn's pottery factory is:_________

Answers

Answer:

$30,000

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Total number of pieces per year = 1,000

Selling price per piece = $100 per piece

So, Total revenue = $100 × 1,000 = $100,000

Raw material = $20,000

Investment = $100,000

So, interest on investment = 10% × $100,000 = $10,000

Opportunity cost = $40,000

So, we can calculate the economic profit by using following formula,

Economic profit = Total revenue - Raw material - interest on investment - Opportunity cost

By putting the value, we get

Economic profit = $100,000 - $20,000 - $10,000 - $40,000

= $30,000

In 1993, Sheffield Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,340,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $69,600 at the end of that time.
Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $585,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $23,400.
In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.
Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022. (Round answer to 0 decimal places)
Annual depreciation expense—building ___________

Answers

Answer:

Annual depreciation expense is $23,547

Explanation:

In the year 2022 the cost of the building will be written down value.

Using straight line depreciation method :  (Cost - Salvage value ) / Useful life

Depreciation in 1994 = ( 2,340,000 - 69,600 ) / 40 years = 56,760

There is addition construction in year 2004 the carrying value of the building will be :

2,340,000 - ( 56,760 * 20 ) = 1,204,800

Depreciation in 2004 : ( 1,204,800 + 585,000 ) - 23,400 / 30 years = 58,880

Carrying value on 2022 :

1,789,800 - ( 58,880 * 18 years) = 729,960

Depreciation expense in 2022:

729,960 / 31years = $23,547

Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000 (26,000 units), actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting for favorable, unfavorable, and no variance.)

Answers

Answer: Check attachment

Explanation:

The flexible budget performance report for the year has been solved and attached.

Note that the selling price per unit was calculated as:

= 400,000 /20,000

= $20 per unit

Therefore, total sales was gotten as:

= 26000 × $20

= $520,000

Variable cost per unit was calculated as:

= 80,000/20,000

= $4 per unit

Then, total cost was:

= $4 × 26,000

= $104,000

During the year, Walt who is self-employed travels from Seattle to Tokyo, Japan, on business. His time was spent as follows: two days travel (one day each way), two days business, and two days personal. His expenses for the trip were as follows (meals and lodging reflect only the business portion): Airfare $3,000 Lodging 2,000 Meals 1,000 Presuming no reimbursement, Walt's deductible expenses are: a.$3,500. b.$6,000. c.$4,500. d.$5,500.

Answers

Answer:

d.$5,500.

Explanation:

The computation of the deductible expense is shown below:

= Airfare + lodging + 50% of meals

= $3,000 + $2,000 + 50% of $1,000

= $3,000 + $2,000 + $500

= $5,500

hence, the deductible expense is $5,500

Here we take 100% of airfare &  lodging but we took 50% for the meals

hence, the option d is correct

Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true regarding the variance/standard deviation of a portfolio of two risky securities? I. The lower the coefficient of correlation between securities, the greater the reduction in the portfolio variance. II. There is a linear relationship between the securities' coefficient of correlation and the portfolio variance. III. The standard deviation of the portfolio decreases at an increasing rate as more stocks are added to the portfolio

Answers

Answer:

The degree to which the portfolio variance is reduced depends on the degree of correlation between securities

Explanation:

The variance of a portfolio of 2 risky assets can be equal to zero if the association or connection between the two securities is equal to minus one likewise the investment opportunity set of 2 risky assets shows that all risk-return is an association or combinations of any portfolio of the two securities.

The variance of a portfolio of risky securities is usually said to be the weighted sum of the securities' variances and covariances.

The standard deviation of a portfolio of risky securities is commonly defined as the square root of the weighted sum of the securities' variances and covariances.

The expected return of a portfolio of risky securities is said to be a weighted average of the securities' returns.

= $131,600.

c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:

= $559,400.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000

Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)

Borrowing rate = 13.4%

Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846

Depreciation = $362,000

Taxable income = $329,000

Gross savings = $X

$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)

Income tax for the 1st year:

Marginal tax rate = 40%

Taxable income = $329,000

= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)

After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:

Gross savings =    $804,846

Interest expense      113,846

Yuri owns just one ship, he calls it Previt. The ship is worth $25 million dollars. If the ship sinks, Yuri loses $25 million. The probability that it will sink is .02. Yuri's total wealth, including the value of the ship is $50 million. He is an expected utility maximizer with utility U(W) equal to W2. What is the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship

Answers

Answer:

$745,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship

First step is to calculate the Expected Utility (√W)

Expected Utility = (98% x √$25,000,000) + (2% x √$0)

Expected Utility = $4,900

Second step is to calculate the Fair premium of insurance policy using this formula

Fair premium of insurance policy = Probability of loss x Size of loss

Let plug in the formula

Fair premium of insurance policy = 2% x $25,000,000

Fair premium of insurance policy = $500,000

Third step is to calculate the Maximum premium using this formula

Maximum premium = Maximum utility - Expected Utility²

Let Plug in the formula

Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $4,900²

Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $24,010,000

Maximum premium= $990,000

Now let calculate the Maximum amount willing to pay using this formula

Maximum amount willing to pay = (Fair premium + Maximum premium) / 2

Let plug in the formula

Maximum amount willing to pay= ($ 500,000 + $990,000) / 2

Maximum amount willing to pay=$1,490,000/2

Maximum amount willing to pay= $745,000

Therefore the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship is $745,000

Explanation:

A bicameral legislature is made up of two bodies. Thus, option B is the correct option.

What is a bicameral legislature?

A bicameral legislature, which is distinguished by having two distinct assemblies, chambers, or houses, is one that practices bicameralism. Unicameralism, in which all members discuss and vote as a single body, is distinct from bicameralism. Bicameralism will be used by about 40% of national legislatures throughout the world as of 2022, compared to 60% at the national level and significantly more at the subnational level for unicameralism.

The techniques used to elect or choose the members of the two chambers sometimes varied from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This frequently results in the membership of the two chambers being significantly different. Primary legislation frequently has to be approved by majorities in both houses of the legislature in order to be passed. If this is the case, the legislature may be seen as the epitome of bicameralism.

Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $2,040. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 420 students, asking each of them their willingness-to-pay for the beautification project. The average willingness-to-pay, as revealed by the survey, is $12.

The benefit of the beatification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ __________ Because the estimated benefit is ____________ than the
cost, the college administrators ______________ undertake the beautification in initiative.

The calculation of the benefit of the beatification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to accurately capture the true willingness-to-pay of each student.

Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading willingness-to-pay data? Check all that apply.

a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
b. An equal number of male and female students were surveyed.

a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.

Explanation:

A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous.

Because a student is enjoying the visual appearance of the campus, another student is not prevented from enjoying the visual appearance of the campus. This means that the beautification initiative is non rivalrous

There is no way to prevent any student from viewing the initiative. This means it is non excludable

Benefit can be calculated using the willingness to pay of student

the price a student is willing to pay would be dependent on the amount of benefit she expects to derive from the project

benefit =  420 x $12 = $5040

The  beautification initiative generates a positive externality

A good  or initiative has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost

Because the good  generates positive externality, the initiative should be carried out

If . Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere, they would quote a lower willingess to pay

Superior Inc. is starting a new project. It plans to develop an online platform that allows for 3D printing of online purchases. This would effectively reduce the online purchases' delivery times to minutes. It expects this new product to be a great success and bring rapidly growing profits in the first few years. After that, it expects the competition to kick in which will reduce the growth of annual profits. The dividends on Superior Inc.'s shares will be growing accordingly. Here is the exact schedule of expected future dividends:

Most recently paid dividend is $4.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends for the first 3 years is 50%.
Expected annual growth rate of dividends after that is 10%.
Discount rate for this company is 15%.

Required:
Calculate the price per share of stock of Superior Inc.

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $216.18147448015  rounded off to $216.18

Explanation:

The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +  [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]

Where,

D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return

P0 = 4 * (1+0.5) / (1+0.15)  +  4 * (1+0.5)^2 / (1+0.15)^2  +  

4 * (1+0.5)^3 / (1+0.15)^3  + [(4 * (1+0.5)^3 * (1+0.1) / (0.15 - 0.1)) / (1+0.15)^3]

P0 = $216.18147448015  rounded off to $216.18

Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy

Answers

Answer: 0.9

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:

= Change in consumption / Change in income

where,

Change in consumption = $18 billion

Change in income = $20 billion

MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income

= $18 billion / $20 billion

= 0.9

Therefore, MPC is 0.9.
