New Zealand and Spain each produce apples and plums. New Zealand can produce a maximum of 60 apples or 15 plums or some combination of both. Spain can produce a maximum of 60 apples or 60 plums or some combination of both. If they decide to specialize and trade, the trade rate is 25 apples for 17 plums.a. Which nation should specialize in plums and which should specialize in apples

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

New Zealand should specialize in apples.

Spain should specialize in plums.

Explanation:

As per the given production possibility tables, New Zealand must produce maximum apples in the available resources while Spain is able to produce maximum plums with the given resources. To produce 1 plum, New Zealand requires resources equivalent to 4 apples. This shows that New Zealand needs to specialize in apples for efficient utilization of resources. Although the cost of producing plum and apple is almost equivalent for Spain since, New Zealand is already involved in producing apples, It must go for Plums.

In January 2017, the Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours and the basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours. Assign overhead costs to each model using the single plantwide overhead rate.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Plant wide overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.

where,

Budgeted Overheads :

Handling materials                  625,000

Inspecting product                  900,000

 Processing purchase orders   105,000

Paying suppliers                       175,000  

Insuring the factory                 300,000

Designing packaging                75,000

Total Cost                               2,180,000

And, the budgeted activity is 125,000

So, Plant wide overhead rate is

= Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.

= $2,180,000/125,000

= $17.44 per direct labor hour

Now Assignment of Overheads

As Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours

So, Deluxe model = 2,500 × $17.44

= $43,600

As Basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours

So, Basic model = 6,000 × $17.44

= $104,640

Rusty has been experiencing serious financial problems. His annual salary was $100,000, but a creditor garnished his salary for $20,000; so the employer paid the creditor (rather than Rusty) the $20,000. To prevent creditors from attaching his investments, Rusty gave his investments to his 21-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Rebecca received $5,000 in dividends and interest from the investments during the year. Rusty transferred some cash to a Swiss bank account that paid him $6,000 interest during the year. Rusty did not withdraw the interest from the Swiss bank account. Rusty also hid some of his assets in his wholly owned corporation that received $150,000 rent income but had $160,000 in related expenses, including a $20,000 salary paid to Rusty. Rusty reasons that his gross income should be computed as follows:
Salary received $80,000
Loss from rental property ($150,000-$160,000) (10,000)
Gross income $70,000
Compute rustys correct gross income for the year, and explain any differences between your calculation and rusty

Answers

Answer:

Rusty annual salary was $100,000.

Rusty will not be taxed on the interest and dividend amount of $5,000 as Rebecca is the owner of the assets that is producing this income.

Secondly, Rusty will also need to report the $6,000 interest income. This has to be reported even though it has not been withdrawn.

Thirdly, he received $20,000 as salary from his wholly owned corporation.

Salary from employer                                                    $100,000

Crowding-out is the notion that:_________
a. Since tax revenues vary directly with GDP, a rise in the level of GDP will increase the budget surplus and limit expansion
b. Deficit financing will increase the demand for money, increase the interest rate, and reduce the level of investment spending in the economy
c. The standardized budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out investment
d. The actual budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out saving

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The theory of crowding out is that as government spending and borrowing increases, the demand for money would increase. This would lead to an increase in interest rate. As a result, the level of investment spending would decline. The theory submits that increased government spending would drive down private spending

Adams Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows: Super Supreme Sales price $ 95 $ 124 Variable cost per unit (58 ) (74 ) Contribution margin per unit $ 37 $ 50 Adams expects to incur annual fixed costs of $227,880. The relative sales mix of the products is 60 percent for Super and 40 percent for Supreme. Required Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Adams must sell to break even. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even

Answers

Answer:

Expected contribution as per sales mix = $37*0.60 + $50*0.40

= $22.20 + $20

= $42.20 per unit

Total number of products in total at break even point = Total fixed cost / Contribution per unit

= $227,880 / $42.20 per unit

= 5,400 units

How many units each of Super and Supreme must Adams sell to break even?

According to sales mix:

Super = 5,400 * 60% = 3,240 units

Supreme = 5,400 * 40% = 2,160 units.

Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.

Answers

Solution :

Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :

-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.

-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.

-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.

Explanation:

Given that;

Direct labor hours used to produce this output = 1,550

Actual variable overhead cost = $8,990

Variable overhead per hour = $6.2

The variable overhead rate variance for July is;

= Direct labor hours used to produce this out put × (Actual variable overhead rate per hour - Variable overhead per hour)

= 1,550 × ($8,990/1,550 - $6.2)

A company is forecasted to generate free cash flows of $25 million next year and $29 million the year after. After that, cash flows are projected to grow at a stable rate in perpetuity. The company's cost of capital is 12.0%. The company has $34 million in debt, $19 million of cash, and 23 million shares outstanding. Using an exit multiple for the company's free cash flows (EV/FCFF) of 17, what's your estimate of the company's stock price

Answers

Answer:

$18.41

Explanation:

Equity value = FCF next year / (1 + cost of capital) + FCF in year 2 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 + 1 / (1 + cost of capital)^2 * [ (FCF in year 2 * exit multiple)]

= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + 1 / 1.12^2*[($29 million*17)]

= $25 million/1.12 + $29 million/1.12^2 + $493 million/1.12^2

= $25 million / 1.12 + $522 million / 1.12^2

= $438.4566327 million

The stock price = ($438.4566327 million - Debt + Cash) / Number of shares outstanding

= ($438.4566327 million - $34 million + $19 million) / 23 million shares

= $423.4566327 million / 23 million shares

= 18.4111579435

Grant Industries, a manufacturer of electronic parts, has recently received an invitation to bid on a special order for 20,500 units of one of its most popular products. Grant currently manufactures 41,000 units of this product in its Loveland, Ohio, plant. The plant is operating at 50% capacity. There will be no marketing costs on the special order. The sales manager of Grant wants to set the bid at $13 because she is sure that Grant will get the business at that price. Others on the executive committee of the firm object, saying that Grant would lose money on the special order at that price.

Total manufacturing costs$615,000 $861,000
Unit cost $15 $14
Required:
1. What is the relevant cost per unit and the bid price?
2. What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers?

Answers

Answer:

Missing word "What would the total opportunity cost be if by accepting the special order the company lost sales of 6,500 units to its regular customers? Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."

Variable factory overhead per unit = (430,500 - 328,000) / 20,500 = $5

Direct materials per unit = $123,000 / 41,000 = $3

Direct labor per unit = 164,000 / 41,000 = $4

1. Relevant cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable factory overhead

Relevant cost per unit = $5 + $4 + $3

Relevant cost per unit = $12

So, the bid price should be above $10 per unit

2. Total opportunity cost would be the total contribution margin lost for the lost sales to the regular customer

Total opportunity cost = Loss of regular sales revenue - Total relevant cost for lost sales

Total opportunity cost = (6,500*$24) - (6,500*$12)

Total opportunity cost = $156,000 - $78,000

Total opportunity cost = $78,000

1. The relevant cost per unit for Grant Industries is $7.00 ($123,000 + $164,000)/41,000 or ($184,500 + $246,000)/61,500.

2. The total opportunity cost of accepting the special order when the company lost sales of 6,500 units from its regular customers is $12,500.

What are the relevant costs and opportunity costs?

The relevant costs describe the avoidable costs that could be stopped if a decision is taken.

For example, if Grant Industries decides to take the special order, the relevant decision-making cost is $7 per unit and not $14 per unit.

The opportunity costs are costs that are not incurred based on taking an alternative decision.  It also describes the lost revenue when some sales are lost for the special order.

For example, the total opportunity costs incurred by Grant Industries for taking the special order instead of attending to the regular customers with 6,500 units demand is $12,500.

Data and Calculations:

Special order = 20,500 units

Current production = 41,000 units

Current operational capacity = 50%

Total capacity = 82,000 (41,000/50%)

Bid price = $13 per unit

New production based on special order = 61,500 (41,000 + 20,500)

Production Data                   Per  Unit         Per Bid

Units                                         41,000           61,500

Total manufacturing costs $615,000       $861,000

Unit cost                                   $15                $14

Question 2 Completion:

Assume the above facts plus a normal selling price of $24 per unit."

The opportunity cost of lost sales:

Lost sales units = 6,500

Contribution per unit = $17 ($24 - $7)

Total contribution margin = $110,500 ($6,500 x $17)

Contribution margin from special order = $123,000 ($13 - $7 x 20,500)

Thus, the opportunity cost of lost sales is $12,500 ($123,000 - $110,500).

Answer:

Explanation:

Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.

This ultimately implies that, beyond an individual possessing the traits or qualities of a leader, leadership in itself is a process that revolves around the activities or happenings between the leader and those who he or she is leading, which are the followers. Thus, leadership is simply a continuous process and it's transactional in nature because it occurs between a leader and the followers.

A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.

Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive power, etc.

Hence, two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation include task performance and group maintenance.

Leaders are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the follower performs his or her duties or tasks as stated in the contract and to foster cohesion among the various team members.

Hughes Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 5 percent thereafter. If the required return is 12 percent and the company just paid a $2.35 dividend, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Answers

Answer: $53.94

Explanation:

Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.

Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)

= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)

= $64

D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867

D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $‭3.49774‬

D₃ = ‭3.49774‬ * 1.22 = $‭4.2672428‬

Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (‭3.49774‬ / 1.12²) + (‭4.2672428‬ / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)

Personal consumption = 25% of this, 38,250*0.75 = $28,688.

We are discounting her earnings back 45 years at 1.94%. The equation will be: 28,688 * {1-(1+0.01940)^-45} / {0.01940}

= 28,688 * {1 - 0.42120322099] / 0.01940

= 28,688 * 29.83488551597938

= 855903.1956824165

= $855,903.20

So, the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method is $855,903.20

                                Accounts Receivable                                            $3,610

Explanation:

Net merchandise sold = 3,950 - 340

Sales discount is 2% if paid in 10 days which Jepson did.

= 2% * 3,610

= $72.20

Cash = Net sales - discount

= 3,610 - 72.20

A-Rod Manufacturing Company is trying to calculate its cost of capital for use in making a capital budgeting decision. Mr. Jeter, the vice-president of finance, has given you the following information and has asked you to compute the weighted average cost of capital.
The company currently has outstanding a bond with a 10.6 percent coupon rate and another bond with an 8.2 percent rate. The firm has been informed by its investment banker that bonds of equal risk and credit rating are now selling to yield 11.5 percent. The common stock has a price of $60 and an expected dividend (D1) of $1.80 per share. The historical growth pattern (g) for dividends is as follows:
1.35
1.49
1.64
1.80
The preferred stock is selling at $80 per share and pays a dividend of $7.60 per share. The corporate tax rate is 30 percent. The flotation cost is 2.5 percent of the selling price for preferred stock. The optimum capital structure for the firm is 25 percent debt, 10 percent preferred stock, and 65 percent common equity in the form of retained earnings.

Answers

Answer:

PV = 1.35

FV = 1.8

n = 3

a. Growth rate = Rate(N, -PV, FV)

Growth rate = Rate(3, -1.35, 1.8)

Growth rate = 0.10

Growth rate = 10%

B. Cost of debt Kd (After tax) = 11.5%*(1-0.30) = 8.05%

Cost of preference share Kp = Dividend/Price = 7.6 /[80*(1 - 0.025)] = 9.74%

Cost of equity Ke = D1/P0+g = 1.8/60 + 0.1 = 0.03+0.1 = 0.13 = 13%

July 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $53 per share =          (3,445)

August 1 Reissue of 65 shares at $48 per share =     (3,120)

August 2, Balance in the Paid-in Capital =                     ($65)

Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer

Explanation:

Since EBIT is not necessarily indicative of cash flow, many financial analysts adjust the formulation by: a. adding unpaid taxes to EBIT in the TIE formula b. adding unpaid taxes and interest to EBIT in the formula c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula d. adding unpaid taxes, interest and depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula

Answers

Answer: c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula

Explanation:

The Times Interest Earned Ratio is used to measure the ease by which a company can pay its interest charges using its earnings before tax.

As depreciation is a non-cash expense, the amount apportioned to depreciation can be used when paying for interest so adding it back to the EBIT ensures that the cash resources of the company are included in the analysis of whether a company can pay back debt.

Capital using technological process results in ____?

Answers

With capital-embodied technological progress, new capital goods become more productive, thus more valuable, but the production capacity of the existing capital goods declines comparatively and they become less valuable.

Capital-driven technological processes lead to creating new and innovative capital goods.

What are capital goods?

Capital goods are the assets utilized by a production company while engaging in the manufacturing of goods.

When the technological process is driven by capital funds, then the company starts manufacturing innovative capital products which further increase its worth. This leads to a decline in the worth of capital goods that are already been present in the consumer market.

Therefore, the emergence of new capital products is being produced due to technological processes.
