Hillary considers herself a shrewd commodities investor. She bought a May cotton contract​ (50,000 pounds) at a​ pound, and later sold it at a pound. What were her profit and her return on invested capital if her initial margin was and the size of a cotton futures contract is​ 50,000 pounds of​ cotton?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the profit will be calculated as:

Profit = (Selling price - Buying Price) × Size

= ($0.6485 - $0.6264)*50,000

= $0.0221 × 5000

= $1,105

Then, the return on the invested capital will be:

= Profit/Initial Margin

= 1105/1060

= 1.0425

= 104.25%

Answers

Answer:

$15,266

Explanation:

Sales                                                          $46,382

Less: Cost of goods sold                          $16,659

Gross profit                                                $29,723

Less: Selling & administrative expense   $11,766

Less: Depreciation                                     $6,415

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT)    $11,542

Less: Interest expenses                             $3,854

Earnings before tax (EBT)                           $7,688

Less: Tax expenses  (7688*35%)               $2,691

Earnings after tax                                       $4,997

Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation expenses - Tax expenses

Operating cash flow = $11,542 + $6,415 - $2,691

Larkspur, Inc. reports net income of $89,770 in 2017. However, ending inventory was understated by $7,100. Collapse question part (a) What is the correct net income for 2017

Answers

Answer:

$96,870

Explanation:

The understatement of ending inventory causes the cost of goods sold to be overstated and the gross and net income to be understated by the same amount.

If the 2017 ending inventory was understated by $7,100 then the correct net income figure for 2017 will be $7,1000 more that what was reported.

Therefore, 2017 corrected net income

= $89,770 + $7,100

= $96,870

A similarity between monopoly and monopolistic competition is that in both market structures a. there are only a few buyers but many sellers. b. there are a small number of sellers. c. sellers are price makers rather than price takers. d. strategic interactions among sellers are important.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

A price maker is a seller that sets the price for its goods and services. A monopoly and a monopolistic competition are price makers

Given the following cash flows for a capital project for the Witter Corp., calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8 percent. Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000; Year 1 = 15,000; Year 2 = 15,000; Year 3 = 20,000; Year 4 = 10,000; and Year 5 = 5,000. The discounted payback period is

Answers

Answer:

4.01 years  

Explanation:

The computation of the discounted payback period is shown below;

Given that

Required rate of return is 8%

Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000;

Year 1 = 15,000;

Year 2 = 15,000;

Year 3 = 20,000;

Year 4 = 10,000;

and Year 5 = 5,000

As we can see from the attached table that approx in 4 years it could cover $49,975

So

the discounted payback period is

= 4 years  + ($50,000 - $49,975.91) ÷ $3,402.92

= 4.01 years

What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021

Answers

Answer:

$249,460

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021

Issued of stock $64,800

(10,800 shares * $6.00 per share)

Issued of stock $167,280

(20,400 shares * $8.20 per share)

Net income $108,000

Less dividends ($59,000)

Less Treasury stock $31,620

( 3,100 shares* $10.20)

Total shareholders' equity $249,460

Therefore total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021 is $249,460

given data

net income after tax = $179,850

initial cost = $545,000

time = 7 year

salvage value = $34,000

we will get here  the accounting rate of return

solution

as we know that accounting rate of return is express as

accounting rate of return = Net income ÷ initial investment    .................1

put here value and we get

accounting rate of return = [tex]\frac{179850}{545000}[/tex]  

So, accounting rate of return = 33 %

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.80 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $25,000 per year for that product.

Each unit of product costs 120 dollars, and holding cost per unit of product per year is 12% of the product cost. The fixed cost of each order (administrative plus transportation) is 900 dollars in the decentralized system. The fixed cost of each order in the centralized system is twice of the decentralized system. Holding cost per unit are the same in the two systems.

Answers

Answer:

a. Units to be ordered to minimize the total cost in the CENTRALIZED system:

= B: 15811 units.

b. Units to be ordered to minimize the total cost in the DECENTRALIZED system:

= E: 5590 units.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Demand at each retail outlet = 1,000 per day

Number of days in a typical retail year = 250 days

Total annual demand at each retail outlet = 250,000 (1,000 * 250)

Total annual demand at the distributor = 1,000,000 (250,000 * 4)

Cost of each unit of product = $120

Total cost of product at each retail outlet = $30,000,000 ($250,000 * $120)

Total cost of product at the distributor = $120 million

Holding cost per unit = $14.40 ($120 * 12%)

Ordering cost per order at each retail outlet = $900

Ordering cost per order at the distributor = $1,800 ($900 * 2)

a. Units to be ordered to minimize the total cost in the CENTRALIZED system:

= EOQ = square root of (2 x D x S/H)

where D = annual demand

S = ordering cost

H = Holding cost

= square root of (2 * 1,000,000 * $1,800)/$14.40

= square root of 250,000,000

= 15,811 units

= square root of (2 * 250,000 * $900)/$14.40

= square root of 31,250,000

= 5,590 units

In last year's income statement segmented by division, what were SegR-7268's total common fixed expenses?

a. $2,050,000
b. $850,000
c. $2,300,000
d. $1,200,000

Answers

Answer:

b. $850,000

Explanation:

Divisional Segment Margin = $1,100,000 + $350,000

Divisional Segment Margin = $1,450,000

Net Operating Income = $600,000

Common fixed expenses = Divisional Segment Margin - Net Operating Income

Common fixed expenses = $1,450,000 - $600,000

Common fixed expenses = $850,000

So, SegR-7268's total common fixed expenses will be $850,000.

Robo Hot Inc., is a company that markets electric heaters to hospitals. Mr. Heatmizer, it's CEO, would ike to reduce its inventory cost by determining the optimal number of electric heaters to obtain per order. The annual demand is 100,000 units and the ordering cost is $10 per order. The carrying cost per unit is $2.00. Using these figures, calculate the expected number of orders per year.

Answers

Answer:

Expected number of orders=31.6 orders per year

Explanation:

The expected number of orders would be the Annual demand divided by the economic order quantity(EOQ).

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes the balance of holding cost and ordering cost. At the EOQ, the holding cost is exactly the same as the ordering cost.

It is calculated as follows:

EOQ = (2× Co D)/Ch)^(1/2)

Co- ordering cost Ch - holding cost, D- annual demand

EOQ = (2× 10 × 100000/2)^(1/2)= 3162.27 units

Number of orders = Annual Demand/EOQ

                              = 100,000/3,162.27= 31.62 orders

Expected number of orders=31.6 orders per year
