You are scheduled to receive $20,000 in two years. When you receive it, you will invest it for six more years at 6.8 percent per year. How much will you have in eight years?
Answer:
The amount you will have in eight years is $29,679.56
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount you will have in eight years we would have to use the following formula:
amount you will have in eight years=PV*(1+r)∧n
According to the given data:
PV=$20,000
r=6.8%
n=6
Therefore, amount you will have in eight years=$20,000*(1+6.8%)∧6
amount you will have in eight years=$29,679.56
You are the new manager in an Indian office. You ask one of your supervisors to move a desk and place it in another corner of the office. The next day you notice it has not yet been done. Why
Answer:
Explanation:
Since not much information has been provided, the two most likely reasons as to why this has not been done would be the following,
One would be that the supervisor did not understand your request due to language barriers that you are not accustomed to since this is your first time working in an Indian office.
The Second most likely reason is that it is not the supervisors job to move your office furniture around. The supervisor is a higher position than manager and his primary responsibility is to look over your performance and make sure that you are doing what you have been hired to do.
Which of the following markets has a barrier to entry? A. There are already many fast food restaurants in the City of Buffalo. B. Stan's Garbage Company runs the only trash collection service in town. C. Crystal develops a new product and patents it. D. Gold can only be mined in certain places in the world.
Answer: C. Crystal develops a new product and patents it.
Explanation:
A Patent is one of the ways that a monopoly can be formed in an industry. A Patent is a government issued guarantee that other entities should not tamper with the product that was patented unless they get permission from the patentee to do so.
Patents in the United States usually last for 20 years and in that time only the people who patented it may use it. This is a Government enforced barrier to entry as other companies cannot make the product in question thereby creating a monopoly for the people that did patent it.

Equipment was purchased for $78000 on January 1, 2018. Freight charges amounted to $4400 and there was a cost of $10400 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $15100 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. What is the amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019, if the straight-line method of depreciation is used
Answer:
The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 is $31,080
Explanation:
Straight line method, charges a fixed amount of depreciation over the use of an asset in the business.
Depreciation Expense Using Straight line method is calculated as :
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated useful life
First step is to determine the cost of the equipment.
Calculation of Cost of Equipment :
Purchase price $78,000
Freight charges $4,400
Installation costs $10,400
Total Costs $92,800
Then calculate the depreciation expense :
Depreciation Expense = ($92,800 - $15,100) / 5 years
= $15,540
Accumulated depreciation by December 31, 2019 is calculated as :
Accumulated depreciation = $15,540 × 2
= $31,080
Conclusion :
The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 is $31,080.
Explain how the political systems of countries differ. Explain how the economic systems of countries differ. Explain how the legal systems of countries differ. Explain the implications for management practice of national differences in political economy. g
Explanation:
Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs. In terms of political differences, some countries have parliamentary governments while some countries like the US have presidential governments.
Regardless of how each country operate politically, most of the operational system of these countries are embedded in democracy and the general welfare of its citizens. The differences occur because of these operational systems of each country. They could differ in policies, reforms or laws which are based on the interests of its people and the nation.
In economic terms, the differences occur when governments prioritize what economic policies or model they choose to implement. Economic systems of a country change according to the need of the times. For instance, China initially, after its independence, chose to remain a closed economy until it reformed its policies in 1978 to finally open up the country.
Legal systems of countries differ from one another as every country use a civil law system based on its cultural, social, political and historical circumstances. For instance, in US each state has the power to establish its own legal procedures while in some country, every state must follow a uniform civil code.
As we know the political economy refers to both the political and economic systems of a country, management practice of national differences is important to taken into account before securing economic relations with another country. Management practice of national differences helps in finding favorable economic and political systems around the world for a country to make both economic and political partnership with.
When labor productivity increases over time, generally A) it is due to increases in the number of workers b) so do average wages C) it results in higher prices for goods and services .
Answer:
b) so do average wages
Explanation:
In perfect competition's equilibrium, productive factors are paid according to their marginal productivity. This means that productive factors' payments will be directly explained by their productivity. This comes from the fact that a firm maximizes profits, subject to its budget constraint, in an optimal way. Equilibrium solution will result in the following condition: [tex]\frac{MP_L}{MP_K} =\frac{P_L}{P_K}=\frac{Wages}{P_K}[/tex], where [tex]MP_L[/tex] is the marginal productivity of labour and [tex]PM_K[/tex] is the marginal product of capital,[tex]P_L[/tex] is the price of labour (or wages) and [tex]P_K[/tex] is the price of capital. Then, because the price of labour is proportional to its productivity, if labour productivity rises, the price of labour will increase.Percentage of market share and rate of on-time deliveries are indicators of the ________ perspective.

QS 18-11 Margin of safety LO P2 Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $455,600. Its single product sells for $191 per unit, and variable costs are $124 per unit. If the company expects sales of 10,000 units, compute its margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales.
Answer:
The margin of safety in dollars is $611,200 and the margin of safety percent is 32%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales If the company expects sales of 10,000 units we would have to calculate the following:
margin of safety in dollars=Margin of Safety units*sold price
sold price=$191 per unit
Margin of Safety units = Sales - Breakeven units
sales=10,000 units
Breakeven units = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit
B reakeven units= $455,600/($191-$124) =
B reakeven units= 6800
Margin of Safety units =10,000 - 6.800
Margin of Safety units =3,200
Therefore, Margin of Safety in dollars = 3,200*$191
Margin of Safety in dollars =$611,200
Margin of Safety percent=Margin of Safety units/sales
Margin of Safety percent= 3,200/10,000
Margin of Safety percent=32%
The margin of safety in dollars is $611,200 and the margin of safety percent is 32%

Patrick Inc. makes industrial solvents sold in 5-gallon drum containers. Planned production in units for the first 3 months of the coming year is: January43,800 February41,000 March50,250 Each drum requires 5.5 gallons of chemicals and one plastic drum container. Company policy requires that ending inventories of raw materials for each month be 15% of the next month's production needs. That policy was met for the ending inventory of December in the prior year. The cost of one gallon of chemicals is $2.00. The cost of one drum is $1.60. Required: 1. Calculate the ending inventory of chemicals in gallons for December of the prior year, and for January and February. What is the beginning inventory of chemicals for January
Answer:
Ending inventory (December) = $72,270
Ending inventory (January) = $67,650
Ending inventory (February) = $82,912.50
Beginning Inventory (January ) = $72,270
Explanation:
The ending inventory of chemicals in gallons :
Note : Based on Company policy, this was determined as 15% of next month's production needs.
Ending inventory (December) = 43,800 × 15% × 5.5 gallons × $2.00
= $72,270
Ending inventory (January) = 41,000 × 15% × 5.5 gallons × $2.00
= $67,650
Ending inventory (February) = 50,250 × 15% × 5.5 gallons × $2.00
= $82,912.50
The beginning inventory of chemicals for January is equal to the Ending inventory for December that is $72,270
Segmented Income Statement Gorman Nurseries Inc. grows poinsettias and fruit trees in a green house/nursery operation. The following information was provided for the coming year.
Poinsettias Fruit Trees
Sales $970,000 $3,100,000
Variable cost of goods sold 460,000 1,630,000
Direct fixed overhead 160,000 200,000
A sales commission of 4% of sales is paid for each of the two product lines. Direct fixed selling and administrative expense was estimated to be $146,000 for the poinsettia line and $87,000 for the fruit tree line. Common fixed overhead for the nursery operation was estimated to be $800,000; common selling and administrative expense was estimated to be $450,000.
Required:
Prepare a segmented income statement for Gorman Nurseries for the coming year, using variable costing.

Workings:
w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage
Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000
Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000
w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:
a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:
Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077
Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923
b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:
Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077
Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923

A manufacturer of hardboard and fiber cement sidings and panels purchased new equipment for its new product line for $20,000. A declining balance depreciation at a rate of 1.5 times the straight line rate with a 5-year recovery period and an estimated salvage value of $8000 was used to write off the capital investment. The company expects to realize net revenue of $57,000 each year for the next 5 years. However, due to the sudden change in business direction, the company decided to sell the equipment after 2 years of operation for $21,000. Assuming an effective tax of 40% and an after-tax MARR of 12% per year, calculate the future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of year 2.(HINT: skip $ and comma symbols) Year BTCF ATCF 0 -20000 -20,000 1 57,000 36,600.00 2a 57,000 35,880.00 2b 25579 ...
Answer:
Hello from your question there is a mix up of the figures for the BTCF AFTER 2 years and the BTCF given in the table so i would work with the value contained in the table i.e ( 25579 )
answer : 71052
Explanation:
Declining balance amount can be expressed/calculated using this formula a
[tex]\frac{1.5}{N} ; d_{k} = B ( 1 - k )^{k-1} (R ) ;\\ Bv_{k} = B ( 1 - R )^{k}[/tex] also R = 1.5 / 5 = 0.3 , k = 2 years
therefore Bv[tex]_{2}[/tex] = 20000 ( 1 - 0.3 [tex])^{2}[/tex] = 9800
Mv = 25579
Recapturing depreciation = Mv - Bv = 25579 - 9800 = 15779
BTCF is calculated as = ( capital investment + GI - expense incurred )
TI = GI - Expense - Depreciation + Depreciation recapture + capital gain
ATCF = BTCF - taxes
taxes = TI (l)
The future worth of the after-tax cash flow at the end of Year 2
Fw = -20000(f/p,12%,2) + 36600(f/p,12,1) + 35880 + 19268
= -20000(1.2544) + 36600(1.1200) + 55148 = 71052

Jay Seago is suing the manufacturer of his car for $3.5 million because of a defect that he believes caused him to have an accident. The accident kept him out of work for a year. The company has offered him a settlement of $700,000, of which Jay would receive $600,000 after attorneys’ fees. His attorney has advised him that he has a 50% chance of winning his case. If he loses, he will incur attorneys’ fees and court costs of $75,000. If he wins, he is not guaranteed his full requested settlement. His attorney believes that there is a 50% chance he could receive the full settlement, in which case Jay would realize $2 million after his attorney takes her cut, and a 50% chance that the jury will award him a lesser amount of $1 million, of which Jay would get $500,000. Using decision tree analysis, decide whether Jay should proceed with his lawsuit against the manufacturer.
Answer:
Since the expected value is higher for not suing ($600,000), then Jay should not sue. The expected value of the best case scenario in case of suing is only $500,000 and in the expected value of the worst case scenario is -$37,500.
Explanation:
he decides to not sue = expected value $600,000
he decides to sue:
50% chance of winning
expected value
$2,000,000 x 50% x 50% = $500,000$500,000 x 50% x 50% = $125,00050% chance of losing
expected value = -$75,000 x 50% = -$37,500Parton owes $3 million that is due on February 28. The company borrows $2,400,000 on February 25 (5-year note) and uses the proceeds to pay down the $3 million note and uses other cash to pay the balance. How much of the $3 million note is classified as long-term in the December 31 financial statements
Answer:
$2,400,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given, How much of the $3 million note that is classified as long-term in the December 31 financial statements will be $2,400,000 because we were told that
Parton owes the amount of $3 million which is due on February 28 while the company borrows the amount of $2,400,000 on February 25 (5-year note) which means that the amount that the company borrowed on February 25 on a 5 year note will be classified as long-term in the December 31 financial statements.
Given the position of the 3D printer in the growth stage of its lifeâ cycle, which of the following OMâ Strategy/Issues should the makers of 3D printers be least concerned with at the currentâ time?A) forecasting B) cost cutting C) increasing capacity D) product and process reliability E) enhancing distribution
Answer: cost cutting
Explanation:
3D printing technology is a from of technological innovation which people not many people know about and is less understood by the people and therefore few people might see reason to buy it.
The increase in the competitors offering the product and a price reduction can actually help the product from from the introduction to the growth stage of its life cycle.
The makers of the 3D printers should be more conceened with enhancing distribution, increasing capacity, forecasting and product and process reliability. They should be less concerned about cost-cutting as there are bigger issues to solve.
If the product line is discontinued, $4,000 of the fixed costs would be avoided. Also, the freed-up capacity would generate $6,000 of additional contribution margin from the expansion of other product lines. If Courtney discontinues the product line, the effect on overall income will be
Answer:
CourtneyDiscontinued Product Line:
The overall income will increase by $10,000 ($4,000 + 6,000).
Explanation:
In a decision to discontinue a product line, the relevant costs to consider are the avoidable costs. These are costs that will no longer be incurred when a line is discontinued. They are relevant to the decision, unlike costs that will not change as a result of the discontinued product line.
Incremental revenue that will be resulting from a discontinued product line is also relevant. For example, the additional contribution margin of $6,000 is relevant to the decision of whether to continue or discontinue the product line, all other things remaining equal.
The Driftbuster Sno-Mobile repair company has a seasonal demand for its service, and there is a general shortage of skilled Sno-Mobile mechanics in it's region. Which one of the following aggregate planning choices is most suitable for this situation
A. Allow some backorder for short-term demand surges
B. Combination of allowing backorder for short-term demand surges and building anticipation inventories.
C. Combination of hiring/firing workers to match demand and building anticipation inventories.
D. Combination of allowing backorder for short-term demand surges and offering reduced prices during the slack season.
Answer: Combination of allowing backorder for short-term demand surges and building anticipation inventories.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the Driftbuster Sno-Mobile repair company has a seasonal demand for its service, and there is a general shortage of skilled Sno-Mobile mechanics in its region.
Based on the situation above, the planning choice is to allow backorder for short-term demand surges and build anticipation inventories. Since demand is seasonal, it's vital for the company to build anticipation inventories. It's also important for the company to create orders for short term surges.
Suppose Fuzzy Button Clothing Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Alpha) that will require an initial investment of $550,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow
Year 1 $375,000
Year 2 $475,000
Year 3 $425,000
Year 4 $500,000
Required:
Fuzzy Button Clothing Company's weighted average cost of capital is 7%, and project Alpha has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Alpha's net present value (NPV)?
Answer:
Project Net Present Value = $943,724.89
Explanation:
The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.
NPV of an investment:
NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow
PV of cash inflow= $375,000 ×1.07^(-1) + (475,000× 1.07^(-2)+ 425,000× 1.07^(-3) + 500,000 × 1.07^(-4) = 1,493,724.889
Initial cost = 550,000
NPV = 1,493,724.88 - 550,000 = 943,724.89
Project Net Present Value = $943,724.89

Bethesda Water has an issue of preferred stock outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.80 percent that sells for $92.78 per share. If the par value is $100, what is the cost of the company's preferred stock?
Answer:
Cost of preferred stock=5.17%
Explanation:
A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future.
A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:
Cost of preferred stock = (Preference dividend/stock price ) × 100
Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value
DATA
Coupon = 4.80%
Nominal Value = 100
Stock price = $92.78
Preference dividend = 4.80% × 100=4.8
Cost of preferred stock = 4.8/92.78× 100 = 5.17%
Cost of preferred stock=5.17%
