Answer:
240 units
Explanation:
We can find Optimal order quantity easily by Optimal order quantity formula using the fixed order quantity formula
Formula:: Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Where
Co = Ordering cost per order
D = Annual demand
Ch = Holding cost per unit
Calculations
Lets put in the values
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2CoD}{Ch} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = [tex]\sqrt[2]{\frac{2*6*12000}{2.5} }[/tex]
Optimal order quantity = 240 units
Note: There must have been a mistake in question options the answer is 240 and closest to 240 is option B

Steven has a typed copy of a contract, which he would like to have Thomas sign. Thomas, who needs glasses to read typing, doesn't want to sign until he has read the document, but Steven convinces Thomas to sign it anyway, because it is a "standard" contract for this type of situation. Is the contract which Thomas signed binding upon him?
Answer:
Yes, because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents
Explanation:
Based on the information provided regarding the scenario at hand it can be said that Yes, this contract is binding upon Thomas because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents. Each individual is responsible for completely reading and fully understanding the contents of the contract before they sign. Once an individual signs the contract it means that they fully agree with all that is specified in the contract and are held liable. Thomas should have waited until he had his glasses and read the contract before signing, regardless of what Steven had to say.

Explanation:
Liability policies, such as personal liability, professional malpractice, or business liability insurance, do NOT protect the insured against a. a personal injury on the insured's property, such as the mail carrier who slips and falls on the owner's sidewalk. b. intentional harm caused by the insured. c. someone injured by the insured away from home or business. d. claims for property damaged by the insured.
Answer:
b. intentional harm caused by the insured.
Explanation:
Liability insurance is a means to provide the insured party with some protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property, covering both legal costs and any payouts for which the insured party would be responsible if found legally liable.
Note that there are two types of liability coverage: bodily injury and property damage. Most states in the US require liability coverages, subject to limits, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay when the incident occurs. For example, a car accident can be expensive. This is why there is a limit of compensation which an insurer can offer.
A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answer:
$327,909.14
Explanation:
Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.
First step
The Investment cost will be:
Land costs $300,000
Building costs $600,000
Equipment costs $250,000
Additional working capital $100,000
=$1,250,000
Annual revenue $750,000
Annual expenses$475,000
Market value:
$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000
N: 10 year
MARR: 15% per year
Using PW method
-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)
-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000
Hence,
=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)
= $327,909.14
E-Eyes just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $14 in perpetuity, beginning 19 years from now. If the market requires a return of 4.4 percent on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today
Answer:
Price of stock = $181.78
Explanation:
PV of dividend in year 13
PV =A×(1- (1+r)^(-n)/r )
PV of dividend in (year 13) = 14/(0.044=318.18
PV of dividend in year 0
PV = Div× (1+r)^(-n)
Dividend in year 13, r-interest rate, n- number of years
PV in year 0 = 318.1818182 × 1.044^(-13)= 181.78
Price of stock = $181.78
For each of the following situations involving annuitities solve for the unknown assume that interest is compounded annually and that all annuity amounts are received at the end of each period.

250000 10% 4
Answer:
A) $11,978.10
B) 9%
C) 15 years
D) 6%
E) $78,866.84
Explanation:
Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
A 3000 8% 5
242980 75000 B 4
161214 20000 9% C
500000 80518 D 8
250000 E 10% 4
A = $3,000 x 3.9927 = $11,978.10
B: annuity factor = $242,980 / $75,000 = 3.23973
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 4 years has a factor = 3.2397
C: annuity factor = $161,214 / $20,000 = 8.0607
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 15 years has a factor = 8.0607
D: annuity factor = $500,000 / $80,518 = 6.20979
using the annuity table, a 6% annuity for 8 years has a factor = 6.2098
E: annuity payment = present value / annuity factor = $250,000 / 3.1699 (annuity factor 10%, 4 years) = $78,866.84

900 x 2% = 18
net of discount 900 - 18 = 882
Boden:
6,000 x 1% = 60
Net of discount 6,000 - 60 = 5,940
Leight:
2,200 - 2,000 = 2,000 balance due
2,000 x 2% = 40
net of discount 1,960
Art Co:
1,200 - 200 = 1,000 balance due
1,000 x 2% = 20 discount
net = 1,000 - 20 = 980

Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease
Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase
Explanation:
Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.
ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.
More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.

Questions: (A) Explain how it has changed the legal profession (B) Identify a specific legal firm that you see exploiting this particular court ruling (C) Identify some regulatory changes in the area of Clean Environment and resulting opportunities for new venture creation (use specific examples/cases to explain your position)
Answer:
a) Many state bar connections have looked to make their advertising guidelines increasingly stiff, seemingly in the fact that the picture of the legal calling has been lasting of late. for instance attempts to clarify these changes endeavors by looking at whether bar affiliations are reacting to requests of individuals as revealed by mentalities as regards to advertising
(b)Now let us take the case of law firm Bates where U.S Preeminent Court choices are not having their anticipated impacts and that advertising by legal advisors is misleading and worsen, making an atmosphere ready for change.
Also, another alternative may be having their expected impacts of driving down costs and enabling youthful firms/lawyers to look for customers all the more adequately.
(c) Utilizing study information of little firm legal advisors amass in four states before the change development got a lot of contemplation, the proof advocates neither of these clarifications represents endeavors to make advertising progressively troublesome. the little firm legal counselors, those that indicate to profit by Bates and ensuing choices, have not changed their conduct in any assessed or measured way.
Explanation:
Solution
Many state bar affiliations have looked to make their advertising guidelines increasingly rigid, apparently in light of the fact that the picture of the legal calling has been enduring lately.
This example tries to clarify these changes endeavors by looking at whether bar affiliations are reacting to requests of individuals as exhibited by mentalities towards advertising, just as by their advertising practices.
For example let us take the case of law firm Bates where U.S Preeminent Court choices are not having their expected impacts and that advertising by legal advisors is misdirecting and compounding, making an atmosphere ready for change
Then again, the choices may be having their expected impacts of driving down costs and permitting youthful firms/lawyers to look for customers all the more adequately.
Utilizing study information of little firm legal advisors accumulated in four states before the change development got a lot of consideration, the proof recommends neither of these clarifications represents endeavors to make advertising progressively troublesome.
The little firm legal counselors, those suggested to profit by Bates and ensuing choices, have not changed their conduct in any calculable way.
Most advertising is in the business catalog and costs practically nothing, also mentalities toward advertising are not especially ideal.
We use 2,000 electric drills per year in our production process. The ordering cost for these is $100 per order and the Holding( carrying) cost is assumed to be 40% of the per unit cost. Each drill costs $78. What is the optimal quantity that would minimize the sum of Holding and Ordering costs.
Answer:
The Optimal Quantity to minimize Holding and Ordering Costs:
This is also known as the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ).
We can work it out using the EOQ formula.
The formula for EOQ is:
Q = √(2DS)/H
where:
Q=EOQ units
D=Demand in units (typically on an annual basis) = 2,000
S=Order cost (per purchase order) = $100
H=Holding costs (per unit, per year) = $31.20 ($78 x 40%)
Formula and Calculation of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
Q = √(2x2,000x $100)/$31.2
Q = √12,820.5 = 113.228 or 113 approximately.
Explanation:
EOQ is an important cash flow management tool. The formula assists a company to control the amount of cash tied up in inventory. For many companies, inventory is their largest asset. Companies hold enough inventory to meet customers' demand. Since EOQ minimizes the level of inventory, the cash savings can be used for some other business purposes or investments.
The goal of the EOQ formula is to identify the optimal number of product units to order. If achieved, a company can minimize its costs for buying, delivery, and storing units, including the costs from running out of inventory.

Answer:
NPV = $2,357.77
IRR = 14.31%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-24,000
Cash flow each year in year 1 and 2 = $13,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 4,000
I = 8%
NPV = $2,357.77
IRR = 14.31%
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

Webster's Discount Appliances expects sales of $12,000, $15,000, and $25,000 during April, May, and June (big sale in June). To build business, Webster let's all customers buy on credit, and all do so. In the past, 20% of Webster's Discount Appliances sales have been collected during the month of sale, 65% are collected the following month, and 15% the month after that. If this trend continues, what will be Webster's total cash collections in the month of June
Answer:
$16,550
Explanation:
The computation of total cash collections in the month of June is shown below:-
Total cash collections in the month of June = (June sales × Percentage of collection) + (May sales × Percentage) + (April × Percentage)
= ($25,000 × 20%) + ($15,000 × 65%) + ($12,000 × 15%)
= $5,000 + $9,750 + $1,800
= $16,550
So, for computing the total cash collections in the month of June we simply applied the above formula.

A company received a bank statement showing a balance of $78,000. Reconciling items included outstanding checks of $2,400 and a deposit in transit of $9,400. What is the company's adjusted bank balance
Answer:
Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000
Explanation:
Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.
To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.
For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:
Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)
Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000
Note:
outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)
deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.
Demand for dishwasher water pumps is 8 per day. The standard deviation of demand is 3 per day, and the order lead time is four days. The service level is 95%. What should the reorder point be?
Answer:
41.9 units
Explanation:
Reorder point can be defined as the level of inventory which help to triggers an action to replace that particular inventory stock in such a way that when the stock level reduced the item must be reordered because it is the minimum unit quantity that a business owner or an organisation should always have in available inventory before they need to reorder more product.
Using this formula
Reorder point= Demand during the lead time + Z for customer service level * standard deviation * Square root of lead time multiplier.
Where,
Demand during the lead time =(8*4)
Z for customer service level =1.65
Standard deviation =3
Square root of lead time multiplier=4
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point=(8*4) + 1.65*3* square root of(4)
= 41.9 units.
Therefore the Reorder point is 41.9 units

Jayne Butterfield, a single mother with three children, lived in Sacramento, California. Sarah Huckleberry also lived in California until she moved to New York City to open and operate an art gallery. Huckleberry asked Butterfield to manage the gallery under a one-year contract for an annual salary of $90,000. To begin work, Butterfield relocated to New York. As part of the move, Butterfield transferred custody of her children to her husband, who lived in London, England. In accepting the job, Butterfield also forfeited her husband's alimony and child-support payments, including unpaid amounts of nearly $45,000. Before Butterfield started work, Huckleberry repudiated the contract. Unable to find employment for more than an annual salary of $30,000, Butterfield moved to London to be near her children. She filed a suit in an California state court against Huckleberry, seeking damages for breach of contract. Should the court hold, as Huckleberry argued, that Butterfield did not take reasonable steps to mitigate her damages? Why or why not?
Answer:
No, the court should not hold in favor of Huckleberry.
Explanation:
The rule of mitigation that Huckleberry tries to use in her favor states that the non-breaching party (Butterfield) should have taken all the necessary steps to reduce her loss, e.g. take a job in New York. She probably argued that Butterfield leaving for England to meet with her children made things worse.
But in this case, Butterfield relied on Huckleberry's promise to organize her life and the well being of her children. Butterfield made a lot of changes and sacrifices in her life because of this, e.g. forfeiting unpaid alimony, transferring custody of her children , etc.
Moving to a different city or country requires a lot of work, expat life is not easy and not everyone can handle it. Butterfield took decisions that affected the lives of many people and she is not responsible for Huckleberry's breaching, the only party responsible for all this mess is Huckleberry and it is normal that Butterfield would want to go to where her children are.
A company has net credit sales of $ 1 comma 300 comma 000, beginning net accounts receivable of $ 270 comma 000, and ending net accounts receivable of $ 202 comma 000. What is the days' sales in accounts receivable? (Use 365 days in calculations as needed. Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal places, and your final answer to the nearest whole day.)
Answer:
66.36 days
Explanation:
Calculation of the days' sales in accounts receivable .
Using this formula
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = [Net credit sales (Beginning net account receivable +Ending net account receivable)/2)]
Let plug in the formula
[$1,300,000/($270,000 + $202,000)/2)]
$1,300,000/($472,000/2)
=$1,300,000/236,000
=$5.50 Days' sales in receivables
= 365/5.5
= 66.36 days
Therefore the days' sales in accounts receivable will be 66.36 days
Jolene hired Lacy to find a buyer for her house. Adam was interested in buying the house. If both Jolene and Adam agree, Lacy, a real estate agent, may represent both parties.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Lacy can represent both parties. If Lacy represents both parties this is known as dual agency.
As the “dual” agent Lacy handles all of the communications, paperwork, and negotiations between both parties, that is the buyer and seller who happens to be Jolene and Adam. She is supposed to remain neutral as the facilitator of the deal with no fiduciary duty to either side. Fiduciary duty is to uphold a client's interest in good faith an trust.
Bill Phillips is developing a Monte Carlo simulation to value a complex and thinly traded security. Phillips wants to model one input variable to have negative skewness and a second input variable to have positive excess kurtosis. In a Monte Carlo simulation, Phillips can appropriately use:_________
Answer: Both of them
Explanation:
The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.
Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.
As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.
Change all of the numbers in the data area of your worksheet so that it looks like this:
Data
4 Unit sales 10,000 units
5 Selling price per unit $20 per unit
6 Variable expenses per unit $8 per unit
7 Fixed expenses $90,000
A) What is the break-even in dollar sales?
B) What is the margin of safety percentage?
C) What is the degree of operating leverage?
1. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20% so that the Data area looks like this:
Data
4 Unit sales 12,000 units
5 Selling price per unit $20 per unit
6 Variable expenses per unit $8 per unit
7 Fixed expenses $90,000
1. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20% so that the Data area looks like this:
A. What is net operating income?
B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?
Answer:
A) What is the break-even in dollar sales?
$150,000B) What is the margin of safety percentage?
25%C) What is the degree of operating leverage?
41. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
if unit sales increase by 20%, then profits should increase by 80%2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20%
A. What is net operating income?
(10,000 x 1.2 x $20) - (10,000 x 1.2 x $8) - $90,000 = $240,000 - $96,000 - $90,000 = $54,000B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?
net operating income increased from $30,000 to $54,000 (an 80% increase)Explanation:
selling price $20
variable costs $8
contribution margin $12
break even point = $90,000 / $12 = 7,500 x $20 = $150,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even) / current sales = $50,000 / $200,000 = 25%
degree of operating leverage = (quantity x contribution margin) / [(quantity x contribution margin) - fixed costs] = (10,000 x $12) / ($120,000 - $90,000) = $120,000 / $30,000 = 4
or contribution margin / net profits = $120,000 / $30,00 = 4
Review the "Types of Distribution Channels" study material. Explain why the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy. Provide an example of a well-known company's distribution channels and defend their choices. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessment and justify your response.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide a specific text, we can say that the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy because that is how companies deliver their products to consumers. This is of key importance due to the fact that there are numerous competitors selling the same or similar products so the company has to be precise and effective in delivering the product to match the client's expectations.
One good example of a successful company would be Underarmour. This Maryland company sells its products through direct distribution, uses intermediaries and brokers, has open many outlets where the company sells direct to the consumer, and also sells products through e-commerce portals. You can find Underarmour apparel in big chain stores, fashion stores, the internet, and sports stores.
Strawberry Fields purchased a tractor at a cost of $40,000 and sold it two years later for $25,000. Strawberry Fields recorded depreciation using the straight-line method, a five-year service life, and an $6,000 residual value.
1. What was the gain or loss on the sale?2. Record the sale using a general journal entry.
Answer:
1.Loss on sale 1,400
2.Dr Cash 25,000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation 13,600
Dr Loss on sale 1,400
Cr Equipment - Tractor 40,000
Explanation:
1.Calculation of the gain or loss on the sale of Strawberry Fields
Using this formula
Depreciation per year = (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= (40,000-6,000)/5
=34,000/5
= 6,800 per year
The Book value after two years will be:
40,000 - (6,800*2)
=40,000-13,600
=26,400
Gain(Loss) = Cash received - Book value
= 25,000 - 26,400
Loss on sale 1,400
2.Record of the sale using a general journal entry
Dr Cash 25,000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation 13,600
Dr Loss on sale 1,400
Cr Equipment - Tractor 40,000
Jake, a pharmaceutical sales representative, often takes lunch to doctors' offices. Over lunch with the doctors and their staffs, he reviews his company's products. Jake does not try to close a sale during these lunches. What type of personal selling does this describe
Answer:
The correct answer is: order-creaters.

Therefore that Jake, when goes to have launch in the same place as the doctors, even though he does not want to make a sale, he is looking forward to establish a relationship that later favoured him in promoting the product.
