Answer: D. 120
Explanation:
The first machine being assigned a job can be assigned one from 5 jobs.
Once that happens, the next machine can only be assigned from any one of 4 jobs.
The next machine, any one of 3 jobs.
The next machine, any one of 2 jobs.
The Last machine gets the last job remaining.
The different ways a job can be assigned therefore are;
= 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1
= 120
Cost recovery. Richardses' Tree Farm, Inc. purchased a new aerial tree trimmer for $. It is classified in the property class category of a single-purpose agricultural and horticultural structure. Then the company sold the tree trimmer after four years of service. If a seven-year life and MACRS, LOADING..., was used for the depreciation schedule, what is the after-tax cash flow from the sale of the trimmer (use a % tax rate) if a. the sales price was $? b. the sales price was $? c. the sales price was $? a. If the sales price is $, what is the after-tax cash flow?
Answer:
after tax cash flow = $29,512.32
Explanation:
the numbers are missing in this question:
purchase cost = $82,000
tax rate = 40%
selling price at end of year 4 = $32,000
MACRS 7 year depreciation schedule:
year % depreciation expense carrying value
1 14.29% $11,717.80 $70,282.20
2 24.29% $19,917.80 $50,364.40
3 17.49% $14,341.80 $36,022.60
4 12.49% $10,241.80 $25,780.80
after tax cash flow = $32,000 - [($32,000 - $25,780.80) x 40%] = $32,000 - $2,487.68 = $29,512.32

Night Shades, Inc. (NSI), manufactures biotech sunglasses. The variable materials cost is $11.13 per unit, and the variable labor cost is $7.29 per unit.Required:a. What is the variable cost per unit?b. Suppose the company incurs fixed costs of $875,000 during a year in which total your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) production is 190,000 units. What are the total costs for the year?c. If the selling price is $44.99 per unit, does the company break even on a cash basis? I depreciation is $435,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?
Answer:
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary direct material cost= $11.13
Unitary direct labor cost= $7.29
A.
Total variable cost per unit= 11.13 + 7.29= $18.42
B. Fixed costs= $875,000
Production= 190,000
Total costs= 875,000 + 18.42*190,000= $4,374,800
C.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 875,000 / (44.99 - 18.42)
Break-even point in units= 32,932 units
D. Depreciation= $435,000
Accounting break-even point= (875,000 - 435,000) / 26.75
Accounting break-even point= 16,449 units
Your customer, age 60, is retired and living at home with a fully paid-off mortgage. Her portfolio contains growth stocks and high-quality bonds, and she is a long-time investor and comfortable with moderate risk. Her objective is a moderate level of current income to supplement her corporate pension plan distributions and the earnings from her traditional IRA. How are the distributions taxed from her IRA
Answer:
Since this person is 60 years old, she will only pay normal income taxes fro any distributions that she receives from her IRA account.
Explanation:
Contributions to a traditional IRA account are tax exempt up to a certain limit. In other words, the money that this client contributed to her IRA account reduced her taxable income. Now that she is retired and starting to receive distributions from her IRA account, she will need to pay income taxes for the money that she receives.
A Roth IRA account works differently, since the contributions are not tax exempt, but the distributions are.
What is the equivalent annual annuity of a project that requires an investment of $50,000 today and is expected to generate free cash flows of $15,000 per year for the next five years? The company’s weighted average cost of capital is 13.1% per year.
Answer:
$749.57
Explanation:
equivalent annual annuity = (NPV x rate) / [1 - (1 + rate)⁻ⁿ]
using a calculator, the NPV = $2,630rate = 13.1%n = 5equivalent annual annuity = ($2,630 x 0.131) / [1 - (1 + 0.131)⁻⁵] = $344.53 / 0.4596 = $749.57
The equivalent annual annuity is used to compare mutually exclusive projects and determine which yields the highest annual returns.
In the United States, many agricultural products (such as corn, wheat, and rice) are subsidized. What are the benefits of subsidizing these products? Instructions: You may select more than one answer. .
a) higher prices for consumers and producers
b) lower prices for consumers and producers
c) higher prices for consumers and lower prices for producers
d) lower prices for consumers and higher prices for producers
Answer:
Correct answer:
b) lower prices for consumers and producers
Explanation:
In United States of America, food is one of the fundamental things which the government guarantee its citizens. Most agricultural products are subsidized by the government both for the farmers (producer) and the citizens (consumers).
The subsidy for the producer could be inform of payment of incentive, giving out agricultural implements and grants. On the other-hand, the subsidy to the consumer could be inform of reduced price of the agricultural food crops.
The price of oil in the United States has been very volatile over the last 50 years, with the real price of oil showing a few dramatic swings. When did these swings occur, and what can explain them? The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp ▼ drop rise in the real price of oil caused by ▼ a large financial crisis the formation of OPEC increased demand from emerging economies .

The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp ▼ rise drop in the real price of oil caused by
Answer:
The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by the formation of OPEC.
In 1973, the World saw it's first oil spike when members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) being mostly Muslims, decided to punish the Western World for their perceived support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. They placed an embargo on the sale of oil to the West and because they controlled 56% of the then World supply, this was enough to force the price of oil up due to the reduction in demand.
The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp rise in the real price of oil caused by increased demand from emerging economies.
From the early 2000s to 2008, the price of oil kept rising steadily till it reached around $147.30 in July 2008. This rise in prices was due to increased demand from newly industrialized and emerging nations like China that needed the oil to maintain their rapid growth.
The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp drop in the real price of oil caused by a large financial crisis.
By December 2008, the price of oil had fallen to $32 and this was down to the global recession that was ravaging the World known as the Great Recession. As the world saw economic output fall, demand for oil decreased sharply thereby forcing the price of oil to fall dramatically.
Stock splits can be used to: C) increase the par value per share while decreasing the market price per share. A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range B) decrease a company's excess cash thereby lowering agency costs. E) adjust the debt-equity ratio to its preferred level D) increase the total equity of a firm.
Answer:
A) adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range
Explanation:
A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.
for example if a company has 6 million shares outstanding at a price of $10, earning per share is $1 and dividend per share is $2. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :
the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 6 million = 12 million
stock price becomes = $10 / 2 =$5
earning per share = $1 / 2 = $0.50
dividend per share = $2 / 2 = $1
After a stock split, the price of the shares falls. so it can be used to adjust the market price of a stock so it falls within a preferred trading range.
A stock split doesn't affect the balances in shareholders equity account.
Stock split doesn't affect the cash holdings of the firm.
Market capitalisation doesn't change after a split, so stock value doesn't change.
The 2016 annual report for Mega Mills disclosed that 1 billion shares of common stock have been authorized. At the end of 2015, 760 million shares had been issued and the number of shares in treasury stock was 101 million. During 2016, the only common share transactions were that 18 million common shares were reissued from treasury and 24 million common shares were purchased and held as treasury stock.Required: Determine the number of common shares a. Issued b. In treasuryc. Outstanding at the end of 2016.
Answer:
a. 760 million shares
b. 107 million shares
c. 653 million shares
Explanation:
a. The number of Issued stock is unchanged because Issued stock encompasses both outstanding and treasury stock.
b. Treasury Stock = Beginning balance - Reissued from treasury + repurchased for treasury
= 101 - 18 + 24
= 107 million shares
c. Outstanding stock = Issued Stock - Treasury Stock
= 760 - 107
= 653 million shares

2. Reduce average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin.
3. Increase sales $500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage.
Compute the return on investment for 2019.
Answer:
The Atlantic Division of Stark Productions Company
Return on Investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100
1. Reduced controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs:
Net Income = $530,000 ($500,000 + 30,000)
Return on investment = $530,000/$2,500,000 x 100
= 21.2%
2. Reduced average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin:
Net Income = $500,000 and average operating assets = $2,250,000
Return on Investment = $500,000/$2,250,000 x 100
= 22.22%
3. Increased sales to $4,500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage:
Sales $4,500,000
Variable costs 3,600,000
Contribution $900,000
Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Net operating income $600,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Return on Investment = $600,000/$2,500,000 x 100
= 24%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales $4,000,000
Variable costs 3,200,000
Contribution $800,000
Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Net operating income $500,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Return on investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100 = $500,000/$2,500,000 x 100 = 20%
Contribution margin ratio = $800,000/$4,000,000 x 100 = 20%
The Atlantic Division's Return on Investment, as a performance measure, evaluates the efficiency of the investment in Atlantic Division. This ratio is obtained by dividing the returns or benefits of the investment by the cost of the investment, and then multiplying by 100.

Answer:
A.9.2%
B.8.16%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill
First step
T-bill =(Par value-Selling amount)/Par value
Let plug in the formula
T-bill =($100,000-$97,820)/$97,820
T-bill =$2,180/$97,820
T-bill =0.02228
Now let calculate for the Effective Annual Interest rate
Effective Annual Interest rate = (1 + 0.02228)^4– 1
Effective Annual Interest rate = (1.02228)^4-1
Effective Annual Interest rate =1.0921-1
Effective Annual Interest rate =0.0921×100
Effective Annual Interest rate=9.2%
B. Calculation for the effective annual interest rate for A 8% coupon bond .
First step
Semi-annual return=8%/2
Semi-annual return=4%
Second step is to calculate for the effective annual interest rate
Using this formula
Effective annual interest rate =(1+Semi-annual return percentage)^2-1
Let plug in the formula
Effective annual interest rate=(1+0.04)^2-1
Effective annual interest rate=(1.04)^2-1
Effective annual interest rate=1.0816-1
Effective annual interest rate=0.0816×100
Effective annual interest rate=8.16%
Therefore the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill will be 9.2% while that of coupon bond is 8.16%

When convertible preferred stock is converted into common stock:______.
a. cash is debited.
b. a gain or loss can be recognized.
Answer:
b. a gain or loss can be recognized.
Explanation:
Convertible preferred stock is an option for shareholders with preferred shares where they have the choice of converting their preferred shares to common shares. The conversion is best done at a time when the common stock is above the conversion price. At this time, the stockholder can make a profit or gain. But if the common share is below the conversion price, the shareholder would most likely record a loss if he converts.
One disadvantage of this conversion process is that, once the preferred stock is converted to the common stock, the preferred shareholder gives up his rights as a preferred shareholder which includes no fixed dividends and higher claims on assets.
Hickam Company makes one product, for which it has developed the following standard for labor: each unit should require 1.50 hours at $12/hour. In April, Hickam made 10,000 units, using 1.65 hours per unit at a cost of $11.50 per hour. What is the labor usage variance
Answer:
$1.8 Unfavourable
Explanation:
Labor usage variance can be calculated by deducting Standard hours from Actual hours and multiplying the result by the standard rate.
DATA
Standard hours = 1.50 hours
Standard rate = $12/hour
Actual hours = 1.65 hours
Actual rate = $11.5/hour
Calculation
LABOUR USAGE VARIANCE = (SH-AH)SR
LABOUR USAGE VARIANCE =(1.5 - 1.65) x $12
LABOUR USAGE VARIANCE = (-0.15) x $12
LABOUR USAGE VARIANCE = $1.8 Unfavourable
In this module, you learned about the risks or costs associated with financial goals. What are the risks or costs associated with your goal, and how can you overcome these challenges
Answer with Explanation:
My goal is to start a business totally based on a new idea with great potential to influence the lives of the people of America. For this I had worked on a startup idea for couple of years and continuously reforming it.
The biggest risks associated with this goal is funding problems, business risks, market research, innovation issues and Software designing issues.
Now these are some risks that I face but I overcome these challenges by:
Risks Solution
Funding Risk: By presenting my startup idea on a international competition by writing business proposal based on well researched market, product innovation and the financial prospect of the business. There are numerous accelerator programs operated by the state and other organizations that encourage startups and helps with numerous facilities. So I will also present my idea here to secure funding from a wider number of investors.
Business Risks: Giving special considerations to business risks and their mitigation strategies.
Innovation: The products will be innovative enough to generate handsome amount of profit and must be capable of giving tough time to its competitors.
Market Research: The best performing businesses know who their customers are and what they are desiring from them. So market research would capable of identifying my potential customers and that it must be representative of the sample taken.
Software Designing: The software design must be user friendly and must effectively resolve users issues. Furthermore, it must be continuously updated with better features and friendly functioning.
A creamery shop sells its special ice cream for $4.50 a quart. It costs them $3.00 a quart to make it. The daily demand for this flavor is normally distributed with a mean of 35 quarts and a standard deviation of 4 quarts. Unsold ice cream is sold each day to a local restaurant at $1.50 per quart. What is the service level and corresponding optimal stocking level?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the service level and the corresponding optimal stocking level is shown below:
Given that
Selling price = SP = $4.50
Cost price = CP = $3.00
So,
Salvage value = V = $1.50
Average daily demand (d) = 35 quarts
The standard deviation of daily demand = 4 quarts
based on the above information
Overage cost = (Co) is
= CP - V
= $3.00 - $1.50
= $1.50
Now
Underage cost= (Cu)
= SP - CP
= $4.50 - $3.00
= $1.50
So,
Service level is
= Cu ÷ (Co + Cu)
= 1.50 ÷ (1.50 + 1.50)
= 1.50 ÷ 3.00
= 0.50
= 50%
Now
At 50 % service level, the value of Z is 0
So,
Optimal stocking level is
= d + Z × standard deviation
= 35 + (0 × 4)
= 35 + 0
= 35 quarts
Muy Bueno Bakery sells three different products. Currently they are not able to meet all of their customers' demand. Using the following information, determine the price of the cake needed to meet the same contribution margin as the cookies. Cake Pie Cookies Contribution margin $18 $11 $3 Production hours 2 1.5 .25 Variable cost $12 $7 $1 Contribution margin/hr. $9 $7.33 $12 Current selling price $30 $18 $5 a.$45 b.$30 c.$42 d.$36
Answer:
d. $36
Explanation:
The Contribution margin is the net of selling price and variable cost of a product. It is calculated by deducting the variable cost from the selling price of a product.
Cake Pie Cookies
Current selling price $30 $18 $5
Variable cost $12 $7 $1
Contribution margin $18 $11 $3
Production hours 2 1.5 0.25
Contribution margin/hr. $9 $7.33 $12
Required Contribution margin per hour of cake = $12
Required Contribution margin = $12 x 2 = $24
Required Selling Price = Contribution margin + variable cost = $24 + $12 = $36
Note there is a mistake in the calculation of Contribution margin of Cookies as it is given $3 but after deducting the variable cost from selling price is should be $4 ( $5 - $1 ), I used the given contribution margin for the calculation.
Colgate-Palmolive Company reports the following balances in its retained earnings.
($ millions) 2010 2009
Retained earnings $14,329 $13,157
During 2010, Colgate-Palmolive reported net income of $2,200 million.
a. Assume that the only changes affecting retained earnings were net income and dividends. What amount of dividends did Colgate-Palmolive pay to its shareholders in 2010?
b. This dividend amount constituted what percent of its net income? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
Answer:
a. $1,028 million
b. 46.7%
Explanation:
a. Dividends are taken from the retained earnings and net income is added to the retained earnings. The formula for ending retained earnings is;
Ending retained earnings = Opening Retained earnings + Net Income - Dividends
14,329 = 13,157 + 2,200 - Dividends
Dividends = 13,157 + 2,200 - 14,329
Dividends = $1,028 million
b. Dividends as a percentage of income
= 1,028/2,200
= 0.467
= 46.7%

Blue Cab Company had 69,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the company issued 39,000 shares of common stock. The company had outstanding fully vested incentive stock options for 14,500 shares exercisable at $11 that had not been exercised by its executives. The end-of-year market price of common stock was $32 while the average price for the year was $31. The company reported net income in the amount of $364,915 for 2021. What is the diluted earnings per share (rounded)
Answer:
$3.38
Explanation:
The diluted earnings per share is calculated as;
First, we need to calculate the weighted average outstanding shares.
Weighted average outstanding share is
= Common shares + (Issued shares × 9/12[April - December] + [(Issued shares - Shares exercisable)
= 69,000 shares + (39,000 shares × 9/12) + ( 14,750* - 5,145*)
= 69,000 + 29,250 + 9,605
= 107,855
Therefore, the diluted earnings per share is;
= Net income / Weighted average outstanding shares
= $364,915 / 107,855
= $3.38
Note : (14,500 shares × 11) / 31
= 5,145
On January 1, 2017, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $1,850,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 7% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
Interest per six months =$64,750 .
Explanation:
Bonds are instruments used by companies, governments and other entries to borrow from the public.
They represent a contractual agreement where the borrower commits to pay a percentage of the principal amount borrowed plus the principal amount to the lender or investor.
The proportion of the amount borrowed which is paid as interest is called coupon. The interest payment is computed as the the coupon rate in percentage multiplied by the amount borrowed.
Interest payment = Coupon rate (%) × Nominal Value
Annual interest payment = 7% × 1,850,000 =$129,500
Semi-annual interest payment = Annual interest payment/2
Semi-annual interest payment =129,500 /2 =64,750 .
Interest per six months =$64,750 .
Note we had to divide by 2 because they are two six months in a year.
The independent variable in the hypothesis "the longer a U.S. line worker has been employed at a U.S.-based assembly plant, the more difficult it is for that worker to find new employment when the assembly plant moves to Mexico" is _____ .
Answer:
Independent Variable
"The longer a U.S. line worker has been employed at a U.S.-based assembly plant..."
Explanation:
The independent variable is the element or variable that is independent of another variable. In this case, "how difficult it is for the line worker to find new employment when the assembly plant moves to Mexico" a dependent variable, which depends on the length of time that the "U.S. line worker has been employed at a U.S.-based assembly plant," and not vice versa.
Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be
Answer:
$152,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory
First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount
Using this formula
Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail
Let plug in the formula
Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000
Beginning Inventory =$120,000
Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount
Using this formula
Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer
Let plug in the formula
Current period purchases=64%*50,000
Current period purchases=$32,000
The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000
Ending inventory cost=$152,000
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000
