Answer:
IRR = 8.77%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Incremental IRR can be determined by subtracting the cash flows of the project with the smaller cost from the cash flows of the project with the higher initial cost
Incremental cash flows
Cash flow in year 0 = 639,700 - 411,200 = -228,500
Cash flow in year 1 = 288,000 - 186,000 = 102,000
Cash flow in year 2 = 319,000 - 178,000 = 141,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 165,000 - 145,000 = 20,000
IRR = 8.77%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Arntson, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product R3 and Product N0. The annual production and sales of Product of R3 is 1,200 units and of Product N0 is 200 units. Data concerning the expected production of each product and the expected total direct labor-hours (DLHs) required to produce that output appear below:Expected Production Direct Labor-Hours Per Unit Total Direct Labor-HoursProduct R3 1,200 4.0 4,800Product N0 200 2.0 400Total direct labor-hours 5,200The direct labor rate is $26.20 per DLH. The direct materials cost per unit is $228.00 for Product R3 and $300.00 for Product N0.The company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity:Estimated Expected ActivityActivity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product R3 Product N0 TotalLabor-related DLHs $ 40,536 4,800 400 5,200Production orders orders 60,270 1,300 200 1,500Order size MHs 432,975 3,900 3,500 7,400$ 533,781The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Unitary cost= $926.52
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 40,536 / 5,200= $7.8 per direct labor hour
Production orders= 60,270 / 1,500= $40.18 per order
Order size= 432,975 / 7,400= $58.51 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to product R3:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Labor-related= 7.8*4,800= 37,440
Production orders= 40.18*1,300= 52,234
Order size= 58.51*3,900= 228,189
Total allocated costs= $654,863
Finally, the unitary cost:
Direct material= $300
Direct labor= 20.2*4= $80.8
Overhead= 654,863 / 1,200= $545.72
Unitary cost= $926.52
Huduko Inc. offers a number of computer services. Huduko operates with a utilization of 30 percent. The interarrival time of jobs is 8 milliseconds (0.008 second) with a coefficient of variation of 1.5. On average, there are 20 jobs waiting in the queue to be served and 60 jobs in process (i.e., being processed by a server rather than waiting to be sent to a server for processing).
Required:
How many servers do they have in this system?
Answer:
Huduko Inc.
The number of servers in this system is:
= 200.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Utilization rate = 30%
Interarrival time of jobs = 8 milliseconds (0.008)
Coefficient of variation = 1.5
Average jobs waiting in the queue to be served = 20
Number of jobs in process = 60
Number of servers processing the 60 jobs = 60
Since the number of servers processing at a time is 60 with a utilization rate of 30%, it means that there are 200 servers in the system (60/30%).
ABC estimates uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable. What effect will recording the estimate of uncollectible accounts have on the accounting equation
Answer: Decrease assets and decrease stockholders' equity
Explanation:
If ABC estimates the uncollectible accounts based on the percentage of accounts receivable, the effect that the recording of the estimate of the uncollectible accounts will have on the accounting equation is that there will be a decrease in assets and there'll also be a decrease in the stockholders' equity.
We should note that the accounts uncollectible simply refers to the loans, receivables or other forms of debt that there's no chance of it being paid. Therefore, when they are estimated based on the percentage of accounts receivable, there'll be a reduction in both the assets and the stockholders equity.

Which of the following statements are true?
a. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has less liquidity but also a greater reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening.
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations.
d. Pellegrini Southern Corporation has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities than Jing Foodstuffs Corporation.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving.
Answer:
b. If a company’s current liabilities are increasing faster than its current assets, the company’s liquidity position is weakening. TRUE
higher liabilities respect to current assets, decrease the company's ability to meet its short term payments
c. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. TRUE
the current ratio = current assets / current liabilities
the quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities
the difference between both shows the dependence on selling inventory to pay off debts.
e. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. TRUE

Snappy Company has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Manufacturing overhead cost and direct labor hours were estimated at $54,400 and 32,000 hours, respectively, for the year. In July, Job #334 was completed at a cost of $2,736 in direct materials and $1,664 in direct labor. The labor rate is $5.20 per hour. By the end of the year, Snappy had worked a total of 37,000 direct labor-hours and had incurred $64,650 actual manufacturing overhead cost. If Job #334 contained 120 units, the unit product cost on the completed job cost sheet would be:
Answer:
Unitary cost= $41.2
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (54,400/32,000)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.7 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Direct labor hours= 1,664 / 5.2= 320
Allocated MOH= 1.7*320= $544
Finally, the total cost and unitary cost:
Total cost= 544 + 1,664 + 2,736
Total cost= $4,944
Unitary cost= 4,944 / 120
Unitary cost= $41.2
Your employer contributes $75 a week to your retirement plan. Assume that you work for your employer for another 20 years and that the applicable discount rate is 7.5 percent. Given these assumptions, what is this employee benefit worth to you today
Answer:
This employee benefit is worth $40,384.69 today.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Employer contributions per week = $75
Period of work for the employer = 20 years (20 * 52 = 1,040)
Applicable discount rate is 7.5%
PV = $40,384.69
Sum of all periodic contributions = $78,000.00 ($75*20*52)
Total Interest = $37,615.31
b) The worth of the employee benefit equals the present value of all the contributions by the employer and the accompanying interest, compounded weekly at 7.5% per annum for a period of 20 years.

discuss the negative impact of the socio-economic issues identified in QUESTION 1.5lack of skill on business.
Answer:
A lack of skill in business may have many negative socio-economic impacts, both at the societal level, and at the individual level.
Explanation:
At the societal level, this lack of business skills may produce a society in which entrepreneurship is low, which causes the private sector have poor dynamic, and economic growth to be sluggish. This can create an array of negative socio-economic issues from unemployment, to poverty, to income inequality.
At the individual level, lack of business skills represents a handicap for individuals who would like to become business owners, but are thus unable to do so effectively. Their business may fail very quickly, leaving individuals in debt, or they may simply not start businesses at all, and be employees all their lives.

1. This year, GHJ Inc. received the following dividends: BP Inc. (a taxable California corporation in which GHJ holds a 2% stock interest) $6,000 MN Inc. (a taxable Florida corporation in which GHJ holds a 52% stock interest) 7,000 AB Inc. (a taxable Canadian corporation in which GHJ holds a 21% stock interest) 10,000 $23,000 a) Compute GHJ Inc.’s dividend-received deduction
Answer:
Total dividends-received deduction = $17,550
Explanation:
These can be computed as follows:
Dividend-received deduction on BP dividend = Dividend received from BP * 50% = $6000 * 50% = $3,000
Dividend-received deduction on MN dividend = Dividend received from MN * 65% = 7,000 * 65% = $4,550
Dividend-received deduction on AB dividend = Dividend received from AB * 65% = 10,000 * 100% = $10,000
Total dividends-received deduction = Dividend-received deduction on BP dividend + Dividend-received deduction on MN dividend + Dividend-received deduction on AB dividend = $3,000 + $4,550 + $10,000 = $17,550

A portfolio consists of three stocks. There are 540 shares of Stock A valued at $24.20 share, 310 shares of Stock B valued at $48.10 a share, and 200 shares of Stock C priced at $26.50 a share. Stocks A, B, and C are expected to return 8.3 percent, 16.4 percent, and 11.7 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on this portfolio
Answer: 12.47%
Explanation:
The value of each stock will be gotten by their unit multiplied by the price.
Value of Stock A = 540 × 24 2 = 13068
Value of stock B = 310 × 48.1 = 14911
Value of stock C = 200 × 26.5 = 5300
Total value of stock = 33279
Weight of stock A = 13068 / 33279 = 0.393
Weight of stock B = 14911 / 33279 = 0.448
Weight of stock C = 5300 / 33279 = 0.159
The expected return on this portfolio will then be:
= (0.393 × 8.3) + (0.448 × 16.4) + (0.159 × 11.7)
= 12.47%
An apparel manufacturing plant has estimated the variable cost to be $4.20 per unit. Fixed costs are $1,300,000 per year. Forty percent of its business is with one preferred customer and the customer is charged at cost. The remaining 60% of the business is with several different customers who are charged $20 per unit. If 200,000 total units are sold in a year, compute the unit cost per item.
Answer:
$10.7
Explanation:
Variable cost ($4.2 × 200,000)
$840,000
Fixed cost
$1,300,000
Total cost
= Fixed cost + variable cost
= $1,300,000 + $840,000
= $2,140,000
Therefore,
Unit cost per item
= Total cost / Total units sold
= $2,140,000 / 200,000
= $10.7
1-When would high Do you think making employees happier at work is a good way of motivating people? When would high satisfaction not be related to high performance?
2-In your opinion, what are the three most important factors that make people dissatisfied with their job? What are the three most important factors relating to organizational commitment? satisfaction not be related to high performance
Answer:
DAYTON, Ohio -- For decades, employees and employers alike have followed the motto that job satisfaction determines job performance. Not so, according to a new study by Wright State University.
Nathan Bowling, an assistant professor who specializes in industrial and organizational psychology, said three decades of data derived from thousands of employees in a cross-section of jobs -- blue collar and white collar -- prove that although job satisfaction and job performance do correlate, one does not cause the other.
Even researchers, Bowling said, get confused about how the two things connect.

"On days when ice cream sales are high, the number of crimes committed will also tend to be high, but this doesn't mean that ice cream sales cause crime," he said. "Rather, ice cream sales and crime are related because each is the result of the outdoor temperature. Similarly, satisfaction and performance are related because each is the result of employee personality."
By personality, Bowling pointed to such characteristics as self-esteem, emotional stability, extroversion and conscientiousness.
Studies, Bowling said, show that employees who have an overall negative attitude to all things in life likely won't find job satisfaction, regardless of performance, because of their personality characteristics.
"Emotional stability matters a lot," he said. "People who are neurotic, those who tend to be anxious, depressed ... typically won't find satisfaction no matter how many jobs they try."
The same goes for those with low self-esteem, he added. Studies show that employees with high self-esteem tend to be more satisfied with their jobs than those who do not have that level of confidence.
"Simply put, workplace interventions designed to improve performance by exclusively targeting employee satisfaction are unlikely to be effective," Bowling said.
So how can you have both?
"There are ways to select employees who will be successful," Bowling said. "Studies show that intelligence is one of the things that drives the performance."
He said solid performing employees also exhibit a high level of conscientiousness -- those who are detail-oriented and hard workers and who set goals.

Answer:
c. $4159672
Explanation:
Computation to determine the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale
First step is to calculate the annual interest payment
Annual interest payment=$5,100,000 × .07
Annual interest payment=$357,000
Now let calculate the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale
Sales realized amount=($347,000 × 6.1446) + ($5,100,000 × 0.3855)
Sales realized amount=$2,193,622+ $1,966,050
Sales realized amount =$4,159,672
Therefore the amount that Swifty will realize from the sale will be $4,159,672
Consider relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and remember the consumer price index (CPI) provides the price level in a country at any point in time. Assume CPI in the US is 165 in 2010 and 200 in 2015, and CPI in Canada is 170 in 2010 and 220 in 2015 (with base year as 2000). If the spot exchange rate was 0.7640 USD/CAD in 2010, what is it in 2015 if relative PPP holds
Answer:
0.7156 USD/CAD
Explanation:
Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:
S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)
==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period
==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period
==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country
==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.
Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country
I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%
I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%
On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:
S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)
S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996
S(1) = 0.764*0.936635
S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD
If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD
Sectoral shifts, frictional unemployment, and job searches Suppose the world price of cotton rises substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will ________. The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will_________ . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as ____________ unemployment. Suppose the government wants to reduce this type of unemployment. Which of the following policies would help achieve this goal?
a. Establishing government-run employment agencies to connect unemployed workers to job vacancies
b. Offering recipients of unemployment insurance benefits a cash bonus if they find a new job within a specified number of weeks
c. Increasing the benefits offered to unemployed workers through the government's unemployment insurance program
Answer:
increase
decrease
frictional unemployment
a, b
Explanation:
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
As a result of the increase in price of cotton, the profit of making cotton would increase. So the production of cotton would increase and more labour would be needed
the cost of production for cotton producing firms would increase and this would discourage production. The demand for labour would increase
the government can reduce frictional unemployment by having policies that reduce the job search period and would incentivise labour to get employed quickly

The Krisp Kracker company which makes unique kettle chips for restaurants, clubs, and events, has just lost a large client that made up 55% of its total revenue. Management finds it necessary to reduce staff or wages. This comes only three months after hiring 35 new people to support this big client. While there are rumors of wage reductions in the short run, the 100 employees who have been with the company for the past two years are grumbling that they are more valuable that the new hires which should be let go and the wages not reduced. The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates which wage stickiness theory best
Answer:
The Krisp Kracker Company
The situation at Krisp Kracker illustrates the Insider-Outsider Wage Stickiness theory best.
Explanation:
This theory suggests that the 100 employees are the insiders while the 35 newly employed are outsiders. Therefore, at negotiations between the employer and the employees, the 100 employees would also like to negotiate employment terms to the exclusion of the outsiders because they feel that they enjoy a juicier and more privileged position.

The demand for spring water at the SLC WalMart is 600 liters per week. The setup cost for placing an order to replenish inventory is $25. The order is delivered by the supplier which charges WalMart $0.10/liter for the cost of transportation from the Rocky Mountains to SLC. This transportation cost increases the cost of water to $1.25/liter. The water loses its freshness while stored at the SLC WalMart. To account for this, the WalMart charges an annual holding cost of $2.6/liter.
Required:
a. Determine the WalMart's Economic Order Quantity (in liters)?
b. How often should WalMart order for water (in weeks) ?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
Since:
D= 600*52= 31,200
S= $25
H= $2.6
Replacing:
EOQ= 2√[(2*31,200*25) / 2.6]
EOQ= 775 units
To calculate the time between orders, we need to use the following formula:
Time between orders= EOQ / Weekly demand
Timer between orders= 775 / 600
Time between orders= 1.3 weeks
Marigold Manufacturing thinks that the best activity base for its manufacturing overhead is machine hours. The estimate of annual overhead costs is $620000. The company used 1000 hours of processing for Job A15 during the period and incurred actual overhead costs of $630000. The budgeted machine hours for the year totaled 20000. What amount of manufacturing overhead should be applied to Job A15
Answer:
$31,000
Explanation:
Overhead rate = $620000 / 20000 = $31.00
Applied overheads = 1000 x $31.00 = $31,000
manufacturing overhead should be applied to Job A15 are $31,000
A competitive firm sells its output for $50 per unit. Assume that labor is the only input that varies for the firm. The marginal product of the 10th worker is 10 units of output per day; the marginal product of the 11th worker is 8 units of output per day. The firm pays its workers a wage of $160 per day. For the 10th worker, the value of the marginal product of labor is
Answer:
the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the marginal product of labor is shown below:
= MRP × price per unit
= 10 units × $50 per unit
= $500
hence, the value of the marginal product of labor is $500
We simply applied the above formula
