Let M be the number of units to make and B be the number of units to buy. If it costs $2 to make a unit and $3 to buy a unit and 4000 units are needed, the objective function is
Min 2M + 3B
Min 4000 (M + B)
Max 2M + 3B
Max 8000M + 12000B
Answer:
Min 2M + 3B
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Let us assume M denotes the making units
B denotes the buying units
So,
Making cost per unit = $2
And, the buying cost per unit = $3
And, the total number of units required = 4,000 units
Based on the above information, the objective function is Min 2M + 3B.
This indicates the minimum total cost
Hence, the correct option is A.

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True.
Explanation:
In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.
In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.
Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.
Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.
Concord Corporation has 34000 units in beginning finished goods. If sales are expected to be 140000 units for the year and Concord desires ending finished goods of 40000 units, how many units must the company produce
Answer:
146,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of units must the company produce is shown below:-
As we know that
Units sold = opening inventory + units produced - Closing inventory
So,
Units Produced = Units sold - opening inventory + Closing inventory
= 140,000 - 34,000 + 40,000
= 146,000 units
Hence, the number of units produced by the company is 146,000 units

has a target debt−equity ratio of 1.35. Its WACC is 8.3 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. If the company’s cost of equity is 14 percent, what is its pretax cost of debt? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter yo
Answer:
5.74%
Explanation:
WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate)
weight of debt = D / (D + E) = 1.35/ (1.35 + 1) = 0.574468 = 57.4468%
weight of equity = 100% - 57.4468% = 42.5532%
let x represent pretax cost of debt
8.1% = 0.425532 x 14% +( 0.574468x) x 0.65
8.1% = 0.373404x + 5.957448%
solve for x
x = 5.74%
One of the least desirable and routine tasks members of your team must do is taking minutes (notes) at team meetings. Proof that this task is disagreeable can be seen in the repeated arguments among team members before every meeting about who should take the minutes. Which of the following would be the most effective way for the team to address this stuation?
A. Ask your manager to decide in order to minimize any personal bias among team members.
B. Randomly assign a person to bé the official note taker at the beginig of each meeting
C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.
D. Assign note taking to whichever person enters last at each
Answer:
C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.
Explanation:
In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.
Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.
A 65-year old widow that is in a low tax bracket and that has a low risk tolerance wishes to make an investment that will provide income. Which is the BEST recommendation
Answer:
Bank Certificate of Deposit (CD)
Explanation:
For the 65-year old widow in this scenario, the best recommendation would be a Bank Certificate of Deposit (CD). A traditional Bank CD is a time-bound deposit, in which you enter into an agreement to let the bank use your money for a fixed period of time, and in return, the bank pays you a higher interest rate than it would for a traditional savings account. Thus providing a good income with very low risk.
Dairy Wishes, a local ice cream store, finds
that it sells out of ice cream sandwiches at the current price of $1. It raises the price to increase its
revenues and finds that no one buys ice cream sandwiches anymore
The demand for icecream sandwiches is
a. inelastic.
b. elastic.
c. perfectly inelastic.
d. perfectly elastic.
e. unitary elastic.
Answer:
d. perfectly elastic.
Explanation:
Demand is perfectly elastic if it at the current price, the product is sold out but if there is a change in price demand falls to zero. the demand curve is horizontal
Demand in perfectly inelastic if there is no change in quantity demanded regardless of the change in price.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
We are evaluating a project that costs $874,800, has a nine-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 85,000 units per year. Price per unit is $55, variable cost per unit is $39, and fixed costs are $765,000 per year. The tax rate is 24 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±10 percent.
Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures
Answer:
best case scenario:
project outlay = $874,800
yearly cash flows:
projected sales = 85,000 x 110% = 93,500sales price = $55 x 110% = $60.50variable costs = $39 x 90% = $35.10fixed costs = $765,000 x 90% = $688,500depreciation costs = $874,800 / 9 = $97,200tax rate = 24%yearly cash flows = {[(93,500 x $60.50) - (93,500 x $35.10) - $688,500 - $97,200] x (1 - 24%)} + $97,200 = $1,304,992
using a financial calculator, NPV = $6,351,002.73
worst case scenario:
project outlay = $874,800
yearly cash flows:
projected sales = 85,000 x 90% = 76,500sales price = $55 x 90% = $49.50variable costs = $39 x 110% = $42.90fixed costs = $765,000 x 110% = $841,500depreciation costs = $874,800 / 9 = $97,200tax rate = 24%yearly cash flows = {[(76,500 x $49.50) - (76,500 x $42.90) - $841,500 - $97,200] x (1 - 24%)} + $97,200 = -$232,488
using a financial calculator, NPV = -$2,071,211.79

Telecom Systems can issue debt yielding 7 percent. The company is in a 30 percent bracket. What is its aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%
Explanation:
The after tax cost of debt is the rate of debt after deducting the benefit from tax savings due to interest payments required by the debt which are deductible before calculating tax. The after tax cost of debt is somewhat an effective cost of debt. It is calculated using the following formula,
After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt * (1 - tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 0.07 * (1 - 0.3)
After tax cost of debt = 0.049 or 4.9%

b. Boeing 7% bonds, maturing September 24, 2032, were issued at 98.15.
Required:
a. Were GE and Boeing bonds issued at a premium or a discount?
b. The General Electric bonds were issued at a___________ and the Boeing bonds were issued at a__________
Answer:
a. Were GE and Boeing bonds issued at a premium or a discount?
GE bonds were issued at a premium, at 110.3%, while Boeing bonds were issued at a discount, at 98.15%
b. The General Electric bonds were issued at a premium (at $1,103) and the Boeing bonds were issued at a discount (at $981.50).

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. Adviser A averaged a 20% return with a portfolio beta of 1.5, and adviser B averaged a 15% return with a portfolio beta of 1.2. If the T-bill rate was 5% and the market return during the period was 13%, which adviser was the better stock picker
Answer:
Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.
Adviser A's excess return = 3%
Adviser B's excess return = 0.04%
Explanation:
To compare the performance of the two stock advisers, we first need to determine the required or expected rate of return of both the portfolios.
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the expected rate of return for each portfolio.
The equation for CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on marketAdviser A
r = 0.05 + 1.5 * (0.13 - 0.05)
r = 0.17 or 17%
The required rate of return of Adviser A's portfolio was 17% while his portfolio yielded a return of 20% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 20 - 17 = 3%
Adviser B
r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)
r = 0.146 or 14.6%
The required rate of return of Adviser B's portfolio was 14.6% while his portfolio yielded a return of 15% on average. The excess return on the portfolio was 15 - 14.6 = 0.04%
Based on the results, Adviser A's choice of stocks yielded a greater excess return. Thus, he was a better stock picker.
What value does a gender analysis add to the study of the global political economy?
Gender analysis provides information that recognizes that gender, and its relationship with race, ethnicity, culture, class, age, disability, and/or other status, is important in understanding the different patterns of involvement, behaviour and activities that women and men have in economic, social and legal.The essay concludes that a gender analysis is fundamental to IPE because it demonstrates the centrality of the differential valorisation of the masculine and the feminine to the functioning of the global political economy, and thus creates opportunities for political activism and resistance.
Find the operating cash flow for the year for Harper Brothers, Inc. if it had sales revenue of , cost of goods sold of , sales and administrative costs of , depreciation expense of , and a tax rate of .
Answer:
$101,960,000
Explanation:
For the computation of operating cash flow first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-
Step 1
EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Sales and administrative costs - Depreciation
= $302,100,000 - $135,900,000 - $39,600,000 - $65,000,000
= $61,600,000
Step 2
Net income = EBIT - Tax
= $61,600,000 - ($61,600,000 × 40%)
= $61,600,000 - $24,640,000
= $36,960,000
and finally
Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
= $61,600,000 - $24,640,000 + $65,000,000
= $101,960,000

Glacier Trails manufactures backpacks for adventurers. The backpacks come in two types: Daytripper, and Excursion. Glacier anticipates the following sales volumes for the coming period:
Daytripper: 2,000 backpacks
Excursion: 1.200 backpacks
If total budgeted revenue for the period is $250,000 and the sales price for Daytripper backpacks is $50, what is the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks?
a. $ 78.
b. $125.
c. $5130.
d. $158.
e. none of the above.
Answer:
the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks is b. $125.
Explanation:
Total Budgeted Revenue = Daytripper Budgeted Revenue + Excursion Budgeted Revenue
Therefore,
Let the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks be $y
$250,000 = 2,000 × $50 + 1.200 × $y
$150,000 = $1,200 y
$125 = y
Therefore, the budgeted sales price for Excursion backpacks is $125.

A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.
Explanation:
First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :
PV = - $946.02
Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51
P/yr = 1
FV = $979.58
n = 1
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.
Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1
= (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1
= 0.0618 or 6.18 %
has a target debt−equity ratio of .50. Its cost of equity is 15 percent, and its cost of debt is 6 percent. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
11.35%
Explanation:
The calculation of WACC is shown below:-
WACC = Cost of equity × (equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)) + cost of debt × (debt ÷ (Debt + Equity)) × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.15 × (1 ÷ 1.50) + 0.06 × (0.50 ÷ 1.50) × (1 - 0.34)
= 0.15 × 0.67 + 0.06 × 0.33 × 0.66
= 0.1005 + 0.013068
= 11.35%
Therefore for computing the WACC we simply applied the above formula.

21. A noncancelable lease contains an option to purchase a leased asset at a price that is sufficiently lower than the asset's expected fair value so that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain. The fair value of the asset exceeds the lessor's cost of the asset. Therefore, the lease will be accounted for by the lessor as a(n):
Answer: A. Sales-type lease
Explanation:
A Sales type lease is one where the present value of all the lease payments of the Asset being leased is more than the cost/ carrying amount of the Asset.
The present value of the lease Payments is the Fair Value of the asset and as seen from the question, the fair value of the asset is more than the cost of the Asset. The lease will therefore be accounted for as a Sales type lease by the lessor.
It is worthy of note that this entry affects only the lessor.
