A consultant has recommended that you modernize a production line. Costs include $650,000 in equipment, a $10,000 investment in net working capital at the time of installation, and $5,000 in delivery and installation costs. The consultant has billed the firm for $7,500 for her analysis of the project. If the project is undertaken, an employee training program costing $8,000 would be required. The old machinery has no book value but can be sold for $100,000. Your firm's marginal tax rate is 34%. What is the initial outlay associated with the project?
Answer:
$607,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the initial outlay associated with the project
INITIAL OUTLAY
Equipment $650,000
Delivery and installation costs
$5,000
Investment in net working capita$10,000
Employee training program$8,000
Less:Old machinery After tax sale value ($66,000)
Initial outlay $607,000
Calculation for the after sale tax value of the old machinery
After tax sale value =$100,000×(1-0.34)
After tax sale value=$100,000×0.66
After tax sale value=$66,000
Therefore the initial outlay associated with the project will be $607,000

The following production data were taken from the records of the Finishing Department for July: Inventory in process, July 1, 40% completed 4,000 units Transferred to finished goods during July 37,500 units Ending work in process during July, 20% completed 3,500 units Determine the total equivalent units for direct materials, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. Assume that all direct materials are placed in the process at the beginning of production.
Answer:
37,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the total equivalent units for direct material is shown below:
= Transferred to finished goods during the month of July + Ending work in process during the month of July - Inventory in process as on July 1
= 37,500 units + 3,500 units - 4,000 units
= 41,000 units - 4,000 units
= 37,000 units
We simply used the above formula so that the total equivalent units for direct materials using the FIFO method could come
Candy is trying to decide between two job offers. The compensation package for job A includes a $300 per-month health insurance plan, to which Candy would contribute $95; a $40 per-month life insurance plan; a salary of $65000 per year; and a 5% match on 401(k) contributions. The compensation package for job B includes a $400 per-month health insurance plan, to which Candy would contribute $105; a $50 per-month life insurance plan; a salary of $64000 per year; and a 9% match on 401(k) contributions. Candy plans to contribute $8000 per year to her 401(k) plan, What is the yearly value of health insurance benefit from job A? How about the yearly value of the health insurance benefit from job B?
Answer:
Job A's health insurance benefit = $2,460 per year
Job B's health insurance benefit = $3,540 per year
Explanation:
we have to calculate the net monthly benefits for each health insurance plan offered to Candy = total insurance plan benefit - candy's contribution.
Then we multiply the monthly benefit by 12 months to find the yearly value.
Job A's health insurance benefit = $300 - $95 = $205 x 12 months = $2,460 per year
Job B's health insurance benefit = $400 - $105 = $295 x 12 months = $3,540 per year

A major reason why many economists remain critical of the infant industry argument is because it makes the domestic industry inefficient. does not provide guaranteed employment for citizens. affects the standards of living and per capita income of the people. promotes foreign direct investment. leads to reduced prices in domestic markets.
Answer: It makes the domestic industry inefficient.
Explanation:
The Infant Industry argument is that developing countries should be allowed to impose tariffs on goods that an infant industry in the country is producing. This is because developing countries need to develop by diversifying their Economy and starting new industries is the way to do it. However, those industries might be doomed to failure from the start if they have to face established companies from outside the country.
Even though some Economists support this idea, there is a general worry that because of the protection afforded to the industry, they may become inefficient because they will lack the competition to spur them to develop strategies that will keep them competitive against other companies.
Dogstuff adjusts salaries based on changes in its stock price, which has increased consistently at one fifth its value per year. Yearly raises are the same fraction of the current salary as the yearly fractional change in stock prices. Hector currently earns $31 comma 500 per year at Dogstuff. Find last year's salary, the salary in 2 years, and the salary 2 years ago.
Answer:
Last year: $26,250
Two years later = $45,360
Two years before = $21,875
Explanation:
Given that:
Constant fractional changes in salary = 1/5 (same as fractional changes in yearly price of stock).
Hector's current salary = $31,500
Therefore, total salary including the fractional increase with respect to the current salary will be in the form:
Current salary * (1 + 1/5)
1 + 1/5 = 6/5
Salary for previous year:
Current salary / (6/5)
If period to calculate is more than a year; then the fraction is raised to the root of the given year.
That is (6/5)^number of years
Previous year salary:
$31500 / (6/5)
= $31500 / 1.2
= $26,250
Salary 2 years from now:
$31500 * (6/5)^2
= $31500 * 1.2^2
= $31500 * 1.44
= $45,360
Two years before:
$31500 / (6/5)^2
= $31500 / 1.44
= $21,875

Complete question:
A customer has an existing portfolio that is mainly invested in high quality corporate bonds for stable income. As market interest rates have dropped, the customer's income has declined and she would like to allocate part of the portfolio to corporate bonds that offer potential growth. The BEST recommendation is to buy:
a). convertible debentures
b). equipment trust certificates
c) long term zero coupon bonds
d). commercial paper
Answer:
a). convertible debentures
Explanation:
Convertible debentures also known as convertible bonds, are a form of long term bonds, they are the type of bonds that can be converted into common stock or cash of equivalent value by the issuing company.
In this case, the customer has an existing portfolio that is mainly invested in high quality corporate bonds. The customer's income declined as a result of drops in market interest rates. The best recommendation to buy would be convertible bonds, because, when markets interest rate rises, value of the cutomer's convertible bond also rises. Here there is always a potential for growth. But this cannot be said for the other three options (equipment trust certificates, long term zero coupon bonds and commercial paper).
Thus the best recommendation would be to buy convertible debentures.
Option A is correct
Weyerhaeuser Incorporated has a balance sheet that lists $81 million in assets, $53 million in liabilities, and $28 million in common shareholders' equity. It has 1 million common shares outstanding. The replacement cost of its assets is $95 million. Its share price in the market is $47. Its book value per share is _________.
Answer:
Book value per share is $28 per share
Explanation:
The book value of a share is arrived at by dividing the total number of shares by the net book value of its net assets. Note that this method of share valuation is based on the historical cost concept.
Book value per share = Net assets/Number of shares
Net assets = total assets - total liabilities
DATA:
total assets- 81 million
Total liabilities - $53 million
Number of shares - 1 million units
Net Assets = $81 million - $53 million= $28 million
Book value per share = Net assets/Number of shares
=$28 million/1 million units
= $28 per share
Book value per share is $28 per share

A stairwell in a certain office building is always congested at 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. The congestion is so bad that people have been complaining to the building's owner. Which of the following methods would be the most efficient way of reducing congestion?
a. Assign each person in the building a time when they are allowed to use the stairwell.
b. Encourage people to voluntarily keep off the stairwell during peak times.
c. Charge everyone who uses the stairwell when it is congested the same fee which is high enough to discourage some people from using the stairwell during peak times. People who value the use of the stairs the most will be the ones who use the stairwell at peak times.
d. Hold a lottery to determine who wins the right to use the stairwell at peak times.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Charge everyone who uses the stairwell when it is congested the same fee which is high enough to discourage some people from using the stairwell during peak times. People who value the use of the stairs the most will be the ones who use the stairwell at peak times. (c)
Explanation:
If everyone who uses the stairwell at peak times is charged a fee for usage, this will help to reduce the number of people using the stairs at such times because the only people willing to pay such fees will be priority users, who gain value out of the use of the stairs at such times, other will be forced to limit the use of the stairs at the peak times.
The other options (a, b and d) are not valid options because they will negatively affect priority users if the stakes do not fall in their favour, hence will not be efficient ways of controlling the congestion.

if there are diminishing returns to labor , then as more workers are hired the total amount produced by all of the workers will decrease .
Answer:
Diminishing returns to labor
"if there are diminishing returns to labor , then as more workers are hired the total amount produced by all of the workers will decrease."
The above statement is not correct.
The total amount produced by all of the workers will not decrease. It will increase, but the increase will not be as much as it was before the continued increase in labor because of the law of diminishing returns.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing returns to labor explains that the marginal increase in total output will not be the same as it was before the increase because one of the inputs in production, like capital is kept constant, while labor is being continuously increased. The reason for this is that the capital assets will not be enough for the increasing population of labor when the entity has reached its full capacity. Unless capital assets (capacity) is increased as labor is increased, there will reach a point when the production per labor will start to decrease instead of increasing, but the total production will continue to increase.
In Economics, the law of diminishing returns holds that if one input is held constant (capital) while other inputs ( e.g. labor) are being increased, a point is reached when the additional inputs yield smaller output or diminishing returns relative to the increasing inputs. This law is also called the principle of diminishing marginal productivity. This principle teaches managers to be aware that if they want to achieve total increases in productivity, it is not only one input that should be increased, especially after a point.

Steadigen Company sells two generators long dash Model A and Model Blong dashfor $ 432 per unit and $ 410 per unit, respectively. The variable cost of Model A is $ 404 per unit and of Model B is $ 304 per unit. If Steadigen Company's sales incentives reward sales of the goods with the highest contribution margin per unit, the sales force will be motivated to push sales of Model A more aggressively than Model B.What is the breakeven in units for Model A and Model B.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Contribution margin per unit = Sales - variable cost
Contribution margin per unit (Model A) = $432 - $404
Contribution margin per unit (Model A) = $28 per unit
Contribution margin per unit (Model B) = $410 - $304
Contribution margin per unit (Model B) = $106 per unit
False, Contribution margin per unit (Model B) is higher so, motivated to push sales of Model A will be false.
Break-even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Break-even in units (Model A) = Fixed cost / $28
Break-even in units (Model B) = Fixed cost / $106
