The COM 341 Medical Supplies is in charge of maintaining hospital supplies at UVic Hospital. The lead time for replenishment deliveries is 6 days. It was calculated that the mean demand for a 3-day period was 60 units, with a standard deviation of 7 units. Please assume that demand follows a normal distribution. COM 341 Medical Supplies would like to maintain a 90% service level.
Required:
What is the appropriate reorder point?
Answer:
reorder point = 132.67 ≈ 133 units
Explanation:
z score for service level 90% = 1.28
lead time = 6 days
mean demand 60 units for 3 days period, 20 per day
standard deviation of demand = 7 units
reorder point = (20 x 6) + {1.28 + √[(7x7)/3] x √6} = 120 + 12.67 = 132.67 ≈ 133 units

The W.C. Pruett Corp. has $800,000 of interest-bearing debt outstanding, and it pays an annual interest rate of 8%. In addition, it has $600,000 of common stock on its balance sheet. It finances with only debt and common equity, so it has no preferred stock. Its annual sales are $2.88 million, its average tax rate is 30%, and its profit margin is 3%. What are its TIE ratio and its return on invested capital (ROIC)? Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
1. TIE ratio = EBIT / Interest expense
EBIT = [ (Annual sales x profit margin) / (1 - tax rate) ] + Amount of debt x interest rate
= [ ($2,880,000 x 3%) / (1 - 0.30) ] + $800,000 x 8%
= 187428.57143
= $187,428.57
TIE ratio = $187,428.57 / ($800,000 x 8%)
TIE ratio = $187,428.57 / $64,000
TIE ratio = 2.92857
TIE ratio = 2.93
2. ROIC = [ EBIT x (1 - tax rate) ] / (Amount of debt + common stock)
= [$187428.57 x (1 - 0.30) ] / ($800,000 + $600,000)
= 0.093714285
= 9.37%

Mark and Mike are having a few beers together. Mike tells Mark about his lifelong quest to find the elusive pink elephant in the wilds of Africa. Mike tells Mark that Mike has spent 25 years and $2,000,000 to corner the animal in a specific field in Congo. Mike goes on to say that once he catches the animal, the San Diego zoo will pay him $100,000,000 for the animal. Mark decides to double-cross Mike and flies to the Congo with a crew and captures the animal exactly where Mike's crew had cornered it. Mike sues claiming the animal belongs to him. Who owns the animal?
a. Neither Mike or Mark. The animal is not personal property and cannot be owned.
b. Both Mike and Mark. They would own the animal as implied partners.
c. Mark. Since he captured the animal.
d. Mike. Since he spent enormous time and had the animal cornered.
Answer: c. Mark. Since he captured the animal.
Explanation:
With regards to the information given, the owner of the animal is Mark because he's the one who captured the animal.
It should be noted that the fact that Mike tells Mark that Mike has spent 25 years and $2,000,000 to corner the animal in a specific field in Congo doesn't mean that he's the owner of the animal.
Upon capturing the animal, under the law of ownership, the animal now belongs to Mark as he's the owner.
Primera Company produces two products and uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply overhead. Primera currently applies overhead using a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours.

It costs Sunland Company $12 of variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which normally sells for $35. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 3200 scales at $15 each. Sunland would incur special shipping costs of $1 per scale if the order were accepted. Sunland has sufficient unused capacity to produce the 3200 scales. If the special order is accepted, what will be the effect on net income
Answer:
The Net income will increase by $6,400
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the effect on the net income
As the fixed cost is irrelevant to special order
Net income = Increase in revenue - Increase in Variable cost - Special shipping cost
Where
Increase in revenue = 3200 x $15 = $48,000
Increase in Variable cost = 3200 x $12 = $38,400
Special shipping cost = 3200 x $1 = $3,200
Placing values in the formula
Net income = $48,000 - $38,400 - $3,200
Net income = $6,400
Hence, the net income will increase by $6,400

Martin Corp. permits any of its employees to buy shares directly from the company through payroll deduction. There are no brokerage fees and shares can be purchased at a 20% discount. During 2021, employees purchased 19 million shares; during this same period, the shares had a market price of $15 per share at the end of the year. Martin's 2021 pretax earnings will be reduced by:
Answer: $57,000,000
Explanation:
The employees purchased at a 20% discount which means that this 20% discount is the amount that would have to be covered by the company's pretax earnings:
= 19,000,000 * 15 * 0.2
= $57,000,000
Martin's pretax earnings will be reduced by $57 million because the company would have to cover the discount on the shares.

If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually:____.
a. the increases in wheat harvested will get larger and larger.
b. average total cost will fall to zero.
c. the increases in wheat harvested will rise at a constant rate.
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Answer:
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Explanation:
A marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) can be defined as an economic principle which is typically used to represent the rate at which a factor such as capital must decrease so that the same level or quantity of production is maintained when another factor such as labor is changed (increased).
An isoquant is the slope of a marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) which connects the two input factors provided that the level of output or production is the same.
Also, the diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution refers to the decline (fall) in marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) along an isoquant that produces the same quantity (level) of output.
When an isoquant has a diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution, the corresponding isoquants are convex to the origin. Thus, the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) would continue to diminish as more of a factor such as capital is used.
If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Answer:
d. the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Explanation:
If we add successive laborers to work a given amount of land on a wheat farm, eventually: the increases in wheat harvested will get smaller and smaller.
Fiscal Cliff Inc. has a capital structure that consists of 15 percent common stock and 85 percent long-term debt. In order to calculate Fiscal Cliff’s weighted average cost of capital, an analyst has accumulated the following information: · The company currently has 25-year bonds outstanding with annual coupon payments of 8 percent. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and sell for $700. · The risk-free rate is 3 percent. · The market risk premium is 8 percent. · The beta on Fiscal Cliff's common stock is 2.3. · The company's retained earnings are sufficient so that they do not have to issue any new common stock to fund capital projects. · The company's tax rate is 40 percent. Given this information, what is Fiscal Cliff's WACC? A. 9.21% B. 12.58% C. 8.17% D. 7.63% E. 11.35%
Answer:
WACC= 8.7%
Explanation:
The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.
The Weighted average cost of debt can be worked out using the following steps:
Step 1: Cost of debt
The cost of debt is the same as the yield to maturity. The yield to maturity to Maturity can be used to work out the cost of debt using the formula below:
YM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
C- 8%× 1000 =80 , P= 700, F- 1000
AYM = 80 + (1000-700)/25÷ 1/2× (1000+700)
= 92 ÷ 850
= Yield to maturity = 10.82%
After-tax cost of debt=Before-tax × (1-T)
After-tax cost of debt = 10.82%× (1-0.4) =6.49%
Step 2 : Cost of equity
This can be computed using the Capital Asset pricing model
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 3%, β- 2.3, Rm-Rf= 8%
Ke= 3% + 2.3× 8%
Cost of equity = Ke =21.4%
Step 3: WACC
WACC = (15%*21.4.5) + (85%*6.49)=8.7%
WACC= 8.7%
Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from $0.50 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmers produce from 2 million pounds to 4 million pounds. The price elasticity of supply in this case indicates that supply is Group of answer choices
Answer: elastic
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply will be:
The percentage change in price will be:
= (1.50 - 0.50)/0.50 x 100
= 1.00/0.50 × 100
= 200
The percentage change in quantity will be:
= (4 -2)/2 x 100
= 2/2 × 100
= 100
Elasticity = % change in quantity/% Change in Price = 200/100 = 2
Since elasticity = 2, this indicates supply is elastic as it's greater than 1.
