The Sunland Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Sunland has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sunland will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs. Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $71,490 being made at the beginning of the year. Building C: Purchase for $655,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,850. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sunland Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
Instructions:
In which building would you recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate, assuming a 12% cost of funds?
Answer:
Building C
Explanation:
To solve this, we find the present value of each of the buildings.
Building A: We are told that it is to be Purchased for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Thus;
PV = $612000
Building B: PV = 71490 + (71490 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where,
r = 12% = 0.12
n = 26 - 1 = 25
Thus;
PV = 71490 + (71490 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = = $632196
Building C:
PV = 655200 - 6850 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where;
r = 12% = 0.12
n=26
Thus;
PV = 655200 - (6850 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = $601474
Thus, the minimum PV is building C and therefore it is the one I will recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate

John's House of Pancakes uses a weighted moving average method to forecast pancake sales. It assigns a weight of 5 to the previous month's demand, 3 to demand two months ago, and 1 to demand three months ago. If sales amounted to 992 pancakes in May, 2,222 pancakes in June, and 2,907 pancakes in July, what should be the forecast for August
Answer:
2,466
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should be the forecast for August
August Forecast =[992 pancakes +(2,222 pancakes x3)+(2,907 pancakes x5)]/(5+3+1) =
August Forecast =(992 pancakes+6,666 pancakes+14,535 pancakes)/9
August Forecast =22,193 pancakes/9
August Forecast =2,466
Therefore should be the forecast for August is 2,466
According to the theory of comparative advantage, consumers in all nations can consume more if there are
Answer:
no restrictions on trade
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation." where he asserted that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do or produce best and eliminate trade barriers (restrictions).
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
Hence, according to the theory of comparative advantage, consumers in all nations can consume more if there are no restrictions on trade.
Company A and Company B are a duopoly, an oligopoly of only two firms. Neither company advertises its product and both firms earn $10 million in profits. Company A is considering increases to its advertising budget which would raise its profits to $12 million. Below is the payoff matrix for both companies and their decision as to whether to advertise or not.
Company A' Profits
Don't Adevertise Advertise
Don't Advertise A: $10 million A: $12 million
B: $10 million B: $6 million
Company B's Profits A: $6 million A: $8 million
B: $12 million B: $8 million
If Company A increases its advertising budget, Company B should:____.
A. Shut down.
B. Continue to not advertise.
C. Increase its advertising budget.
D. Increase the price it charges to increase profits.
Answer: C. Increase its advertising budget.
Explanation:
If Company A advertises and Company B does not, Company B profits are $6 million compared to $12 million for Company A. If both company advertise, they both have a profit of $8 million.
It is therefore important that when A advertises, B should advertise as well. This is why B should increase its advertising budget when A does because it will lead to them having a better income than they would should A advertise more.
Advisors, an international pension fund manager, uses the concepts of purchasing power parity(PPP) and the International Fisher Effect (IFE) to forecast spot exchange rates. Omni gathers the financial information as follows:
Base price level 100
Current U.S. price level 105
Current South African price level 111
Base rand spot exchange rate $0.175
Current rand spot exchange rate $0.158
Expected annual U.S. inflation 7%
Expected annual South African inflation 5%
Expected U.S. one-year interest rate 10%
Expected South African one-year interest rate 8%
Required:
Calculate the following exchange rates (ZAR and USD refer to the South African rand and U.S. dollar, respectively)
a. The current ZAR spot rate in USD that would been forecast by PPP.
b. Using the IFE, the expected ZAR spot rate in USD one year from now.
c. Using PPP, the expected ZAR spot rate in USD four years from now.
Answer:
a. Current spot rate / Base spot rate = Price level in home country / Price level in foreign country
CSR / 0.175 =105 / 111
CSR = (105/ 111) * 0.175
= $0.1655 / ZAR
b. Expected ZAR spot rate / Current ZAR spot rate = (1 + interest rate in home country) / (1 + interest rate in foreign country)
Expected ZAR spot rate / 0.158 = (1 + 10%) / ( 1 + 8%)
Expected ZAR spot rate = (1.1/1.08) * 0.158
= $0.1609 / ZAR
c. Expected ZAR spot rate / Current ZAR spot rate = (1 + inflation rate in home country) / (1 + inflation rate in foreign country)
Expected ZAR spot rate / 0.158 = (1 + 7%) / ( 1 + 5%)
= 1.07/1.05 * 0.158
= $0.1610 / ZAR

usiness Solutions sells upscale modular desk units and office chairs in the ratio of 3:2 (desk unit:chair). The selling prices are $1,250 per desk unit and $500 per chair. The variable costs are $750 per desk unit and $250 per chair. Fixed costs are $120,000. Required: 1. Compute the selling price per composite unit. 2. Compute the variable costs per composite unit. 3. Compute the break-even point in composite units. 4. Compute the number of units of each product that w
Answer:
1. Selling price per composite unit = Price of desk unit * (Ratio of desk unit) + Price of chair * (Ratio of chair)
= $1250*(3) + $500*(2)
= $3,750 + $1,000
= $4,750
2. Variable costs per composite unit = Variable cost per desk unit * (Ratio of desk unit) + Variable cost per chair * (Ratio of chair)
= $750*(3) + $250*(2)
= $2,250 + $500
= $2,750
3. Break even point in composite units = Fixed costs / (Composite selling price - Composite variable cost)
= $120,000 / ($4750 - $2750)
= $120,000 / $2000
= 60 units
4. Number desk units sold at break even point = 60 composite units* 3 per composite unit = 180 units
Number of chairs sold at break even point = 60 composite units * 2 per composite unit = 120 units

A labor crew for placing concrete consists of one labor foreman at $26.09 per hour, one cement finisher at $29.30 per hour, 6 laborers at $24.45 per hour each, and one equipment operator at $34.5 per hour. Such a crew, called a C20 crew, can place 178 cubic yards of concrete per 8-hour day. Determine the cost per day of labor for the C20 crew. The cost per day is determined to be $ _______.
Answer:
Total cost per day= $1,892.72
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Foreman= 26.09 per hour
Cement finisher= 29.3 per hour
Labor= 24.45 per hour
Equipment operator= 34.5 per hour
To calculate the total cost for one day of work, we need to multiply the hourly rate by the total number of hours.
Total cost per day= 26.09*8 + 29.3*8 + (24.45*6)*8 + 34.5*8
Total cost per day= $1,892.72
Galen started a new job by showing up fifteen minutes before the official start time, taking a short lunch, and leaving approximately fifteen minutes after the official quitting time. During the first week Galen's supervisor takes him aside and tells him that he is really impressed with the fact that Galen is so punctual and dedicated to the work. The next week Galen supervisor once again compliments Galen on his punctuality and hard work. Galen continues this behavior while he works under this supervisor.
Required:
What type of conditioning has occurred here?
Answer:
Operant conditioning
Explanation:
Operant conditioning is a form of learning wherein consequences or rewards are attached to behaviors. When an individual demonstrates positive behavior, he is rewarded for such an action. Displaying bad behavior also results in punishments or negative consequences.
This type of learning is evident in the compliment Galen received from her supervisor because of her punctuality.

3. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases. (Round your "Gross Profit Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = 83.33%
2-a. Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.
Explanation:
Note: The requirements for this question are two not three as erroneously stated. This is because, the first and the third question are the same. Therefore, the two relevant requirements of the question are:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
Sales revenue from tags = Sales value of 160 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 8 at a price of $30 per tag + Sales value of 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 at a price of $30 per tag = (160 * $30) + (260 * $30) = $12,600
Sales revenue from cases = Sales value of 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120 * $15 = $1,800
Total number of tags sold = 160 tags mailed to customers + 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120
Using FIFO, we have:
Cost of tags sold = Value of 260 tags purchased on Jan.2 from Xioasi Manufacturing (XM) at a cost of $7 per tag + Value of the remaining 160 (i.e. 420 – 260 = 160) tags sold based on the 360 tags purchased on Jan. 11 from XM at a cost of $10 per tag = (260 * $7) + (160 * $10) = $3,420
Cost of cases sold = Value of 60 cases purchased on Jan.4 from Bachittar Products (BP) at a cost of $2 per case + Value of the remaining 60 cases sold based on the 160 cases purchased on Jan. 14 from BP at a cost of $3 per case = (60 * $2) + (60 * $3) = $300
Therefore, we have:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = Sales revenue from tags - Cost of tags sold = $12,600 - $3,420 = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = Sales revenue from cases - Cost of cases sold = $1,800 - $300 = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = (Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Sales revenue from tags) * 100 = ($9,180 / $12,600) * 100 = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = (Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Sales revenue from cases) * 100 = 83.33%
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
2-a. Which product line yields more dollars of profit?
From part 1 above, we have:
Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
Since the dollars of gross profit from selling tags of $9,180 is greater than the dollars of gross profit from selling cases of $1,500, this implies that Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
From part 1 above, we have:
Total number of tags sold = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120
Therefore, we have:
Tag's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Total number of tags sold = $9,180 / 420 = $21.86
Case's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Total number of cases sold = $1,500 / 120 = $12.50
Since Tag's profit per dollar of sales of $21.86 is greater than Case's profit per dollar of sales of $12.50, this implies that Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.
All of the following regarding accounting for Treasury Stock are true except: Multiple Choice Corporations do not record gains or losses on transactions involving their own stock. Treasury Stock receives cash dividends but not stock dividends. Purchasing Treasury Stock reduces the corporation’s assets and equity by equal amounts. Treasury Stock is presented on the balance sheet as a contra equity account. Treasury Stock does not have voting rights.
Answer:
Treasury Stock receives cash dividends but not stock dividends.
Explanation:
Shares owned by the issuing company itself are considered as Treasury Stock. Prime reason company buys their own stock to reduce dividend expense and save cash. So, it does not make any sense to pay dividends to Treasury stock.

g Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 27,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 114,000. Units completed and transferred out: 141,000. Ending Inventory: 31,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $45,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $50,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $311,160. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $601,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion. Group of answer choices $4.76 $3.96 $5.29 $4.34 $5.69
Answer:
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = $4.76
Explanation:
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = Total conversion cost / Equivalent units
Conversion cost is the sum of the direct labour cost and the factory overhead cost.
Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work. These units are determined as follows:
Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory
Equivalent units
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed unit 140,000 140000× 100% 140,000
Closing inventory 31,000 31,000× 30% 9,300
Total equivalent unit 149,300
Completed units = opening inventory + units started in the period - closing inventory
Completed units = 27000 + 114,000 - 31,000 = 140,000
The conversion cost = 50,850 + 601,150 = 652,000
conversion cost per equivalent unit = 652,000 /140,000 = 4.65
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = $4.76
