Rainbow Paints Inc. is a leading paints company in Pakistan. In June 2019, the higher management of the company deliberated and decided upon the production targets for the year 2020. The procurement department was directed to order the supplies of required chemicals and raw materials from Chinese company i.e. XingPe Chemicals for the target production. The supplies were expected to arrive in January-February 2020 but unexpected situation halted the normal operations in China due to the spread of a novel virus. The situation created panic at Rainbow Paints Inc. as lack of supplies meant falling short of the targets and plunging in losses. The supplier was contacted but they were of the view that they cannot send the supplies as per the contract due to the lockdown. Now, conflict aroused between the parties as Rainbow Paints Inc. wanted the raw materials which the XingPi Chemicals cannot process due to restrictions from their respective government. It resulted in losses for Rainbow Paints Inc. Rainbow Paints Inc. decided to consult an International arbitrator for the resolution of the dispute. During negotiations, the Rainbow Paints Inc. maintained that they faced losses due to lack of supplies which did not reach them at the promised time. So, the supplier must not only compensate for it but also return their payments. While XingPe Chemicals insisted that they couldn’t move ahead due to unexpected and unavoidable pandemic situation, so the losses must be shared. They also reiterated the resolve to provide supplies in the future without any delays if the situation permits. They insisted on keeping the contract intact while finding a middle ground for the current dispute. Requirement: After analyzing the case, Identify the approaches to negotiation maintained by both the parties in conflict i.e. Rainbow Paints Inc. and XingPi Chemicals and explain them as per the scenario.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

According to the given situation, The Strategic Negotiation or Distributive Negotiation is also known as Win-lose strategy, was introduced by Rainbow Paints Inc. They say they should be liable for the losses, and they will refund the advance payment. Therefore they support a hard-line strategy.

XingPe Chemicals embraces a resolution of the conflict on this subject. So, they are required to handle the part of loss and want to compensate for the remaining loss by a rainbow. They are justifying to wait on pandemic grounds which is a matter of force measure. They do promise to honor all future contracts.

If the economy booms, RTF, Inc., stock is expected to return 13 percent. If the economy goes into a recessionary period, then RTF is expected to only return 5 percent. The probability of a boom is 83 percent while the probability of a recession is 17 percent. What is the variance of the returns on RTF, Inc., stock

Answers

Answer: 0.000903

Explanation:

Expected return is the sum of the probability that the other returns will happen.

= (13% * 83%) + (5% * 17%)

= 10.79 % + 0.85%

= 11.64%

Variance = ((Return during boom - Expected return)²*probability of boom) + ((Return during recession - Expected Return)²*probability of recession)

Variance = ((13% -11.64%)² * 83%) + (5% - 11.64%)² * 17%)

= 0.0001535168 + 0.0007495232

= 0.000903

A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at the rate of 3.0 per minute. In serving themselves, customers take about 14 seconds, exponentially distributed. a. How many customers would you expect to see, on average, at the coffee urn? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer: 3 customers.

Explanation:

Given the following :

Arrival rate of customers = 3 customers per minute

Service time = 14 seconds

Then if service time is 14 seconds, the service rate per minute will be 60/14 = 4.29 = 4 (nearest whole number)

Service rate = 4 customers per minute.

Number of customers at coffee urn(Nc) :

Nc = (arrival rate) /(service rate - arrival rate)

Nc = (3) / (4 - 3)

Nc = 3 / 1

Nc = 3

Therefore, average number of customers expected at coffee urn = 3

A company purchased $270,000 in supplies during the year. The supplies account increased by $10,000 during the year to an ending balance of $66,000. For what amount was the adjusting entry to supplies expense?

Answers

Answer:

$260,000

Explanation:

Opening balance = Ending balance - Increase in ending balance

=$66,000 - $10,000

=$56,000

Supplies Expenses = Opening balance + Purchases - Closing balance

=$56,000 + $270,000 - $66,000

=$336,000 - $66,000

=$260,000

Therefore, the amount that will be the adjusting entry to supplies expenses is $260,000

Jervis sells $3,900 of its accounts receivable to Northern Bank in order to obtain necessary cash. Northern Bank charges a 3% factoring fee. What entry should Jervis make to record the transaction

Answers

Answer:

Dr cash                           $3783

Dr factoring fee expense  $177

Cr accounts receivable               $3900

Explanation:

The cash proceeds from the factoring arrangement would be 97% of the value of the receivables since 3% is the factoring fees expenses to be incurred.

Cash proceeds=$3900*97%=$ 3,783.00  

Factoring fees expense=$3,900.00-$3,783.00=$117

Cash account and factoring fees expense would be debited with $3783 and $117 respectively, while accounts receivable is credited with $3900

AgCo sells corn in a perfectly competitive market. Say the current market price for a bushel of corn is $4.00. If AgCo prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn, a. AgCo will sell less corn than other producers but still earn a reasonable profit. b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn. c. AgCo's total revenue will increase. d. AgCo will maximize profit at that price.

Answers

Answer:

b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market refers to market has many buyers and sellers will all the market selling the undifferentiated product without any difference.

Some of the others attributes of a perfectly competitive market are that buyers and sellers have perfect information about the price of a good,  no barriers to entry and exit, similar products are being sold, there are free entry and exit to the market, and all sellers are price takers.

All sellers are price takers implies that the price of good is determined or given by the market. Therefore, any attempt to increase the price beyond the price given by the market will result into a zero sale because the buyers will immediately switch to another seller selling at the market price which lower.

Based on the above explanation, AgCo will sell no bushels of corn because its prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn is higher than the current market price for a bushel of corn of $4.00.

The Botosan Factory has determined that its budgeted factory overhead budget for the year is $601,880 and budgeted direct labor hours are 367,000. If the actual direct labor hours for the period are 334,000, how much overhead would be allocated to the period

Answers

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $541,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $601,880

Budgeted direct labor hours= 367,000

The actual direct labor hours for the period are 334,000

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= 601,880/367,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.64 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.64*334,000

Allocated MOH= $541,200

Which of the following statements is false about Activity-based management?
A. While useful, activity-based management and Activity-Based Costing information is not always cost efficient to obtain
B. The information needed for activity-based management is a direct byproduct of Activity-Based Costing
C. Activity-based management is an activity that is similar to Activity-Based Costing but requires a very different set of information
D. Activity-based management is designed to help management know which activities add the most value to goods and services

Answers

Answer:

C. Activity-based management is an activity that is similar to Activity-Based Costing but requires a very different set of information

Explanation:

Activity based management is the process by which a business identifies activities that contributes more to profitability of the business. These activities are retained.

While activities whose cost does not justify the profit they generate are discarded.

Activity based costing is used to allocate cost of a product based on level of activity of a particular process.

Activity based management uses information from activity based costing to identify processes that contribute more to profitability.

So the statement - Activity-based management is an activity that is similar to Activity-Based Costing but requires a very different set of information. - Is false

Activity-based management (ABM) is a way of identifying and assessing activities that a firm conducts, as well as doing a value chain analysis or a re-engineering exercise to enhance strategic and operational decisions in an organization, utilizing activity-based costing.

So, option C is correct as this is the only false statement about activity based management.

The other options are incorrect as:

Option A is incorrect as yes activity-based management and activity-based costing are not always cost-efficient.

Option B is incorrect as yes activity-based management and activity-based costing have many similarities but they need different information.

Option D is incorrect as yes activity-based management analysis every good and services provided by company and help organization know which of them add more value to organization.

Thus every statement is correct only statement C is untrue.

Required:
a. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?
b. What amount must he invest today if his investment earns 12% compounded annually?

Answers

Answer:

a. $10,783.68

b. $10,510.36 semi annual compounding

Explanation:

a. This question requires the present value of $26,700 given 8 years and compounded annually at 12%.

Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]

Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.12^{8} }[/tex]

Present Value = $10,783.68

He would need to invest $10,783.68 today.

b. This is a duplicate of question 1 but I will solve it assuming semi-annual compounding just in case.

12% per annum would become = 12/2 = 6% per semi annum

Number of periods would become = 8 * 2 = 16 periods

Present Value = [tex]\frac{Future Value}{ ( 1 + interest)^{number of periods} }[/tex]

Present Value = [tex]\frac{26,700}{ 1.06^{16} }[/tex]

Present Value = $10,510.36

He would need to invest $10,510.36 today.

Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstandingSuppose the most recent dividend was "$3.25" and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC?

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 15.08%

Explanation:

Some information is missing:

"The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years."

In order to calculate WACC we must first determine the YTM and market values of the 2 bonds.

bond 1:

market value = $70,000,000 x 0.97 = $67,900,000

YTM = {4,200,000 + [(70,000,000 - 67,900,000)/21]} / [(70,000,000 + 67,900,000)/2] = 4,300,000 / 68,950,000 = 6.24%

bond 2:

market value = $40,000,000 x 1.08 = $43,200,000

YTM = {2,600,000 + [(40,000,000 - 43,200,000)/6]} / [(40,000,000 + 43,200,000)/2] = 2,066,667 / 41,600,000 = 4.97%

weighted average cost of debt:

total value of debt = $67,900,000 + $43,200,000 = $111,100,000

weighted average cost = [($67,900,000/$111,100,000) x 6.24%] + [($43,200,000/$111,100,000) x 4.97%] = 3.814% + 1.933% = 5.75%

cost of equity (Re):

$68 = ($8 x 1.05) / (Re - 5%)

Re - 5% = $8.40 / $68 = 12.35%

Re = 17.35%

outstanding stock's market value = 7,000,000 x $68 = $476,000,000

WACC = [($476,000,000/$587,100,000) x 17.35%] + [($111,100,000/$587,100,000) x 5.75% x 0.79] = 14.07% + 1.01% = 15.08%

B&B has a new baby powder ready to market. If the firm goes directly to the market with the product, there is only a 60 percent chance of success. However, the firm can conduct customer segment research, which will take a year and cost $1.14 million. By going through research, the company will be able to better target potential customers and will increase the probability of success to 75 percent. If successful, the baby powder will bring a present value profit (at time of initial selling) of $19.1 million. If unsuccessful, the present value payoff is only $6.1 million. The appropriate discount rate is 14 percent.

Required:
Calculate the NPV for the firm if it conducts customer segment research and if it goes to market immediately.

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $13.9m

NPV = $11.05m (if conducts customer segment research)

Explanation:

DATA

Successfull probability = 60%

Unsuccessful probability = 40%

Initial selling = $19.1m

Unsuccessful present value  = $6.1 m

Research cost = $1.14m

Discount rate = 14%

Solution ( NPV If the firm goes to market immediately)

NPV = (Successful probability x initial selling) + (Unsuccessful probability x Unsuccessful present value)

NPV = (60% x $19.1m) + ( 40% x $6.1 m)

NPV = $11.46m + $2.44m

NPV = $13.9m

Solution (NPV if the firm conducts customer segment research)

NPV = ((Successful probability x initial selling) + (Unsuccessful probability x Unsuccessful present value)/1+discount rate ) - research cost

NPV = [tex]\frac{13.9m}{1+0.14} - 1.14[/tex]

NPV = $12.19m - $1.14m

NPV = $11.05m

Note: We can calculate NPV if the firm conducts customer segment research by dividing NPV calculated above by (1+discount rate) and research cost is deducted from the whole.

c. they will end up playing a large role in setting the regulations that they will follow.

Answers

Answer:

A. They might also compete to make riskier loans, potentially imperiling the safety of the banking system.

Explanation:

Banks may compete to make riskier loans if they had to pay higher interest rates, which might jeopardize the stability of the banking system. As a result, choice (A) is the appropriate response.

What is meant by loans?

A loan is an act of one or more people, businesses, or other entities lending money to other people, businesses, or other entities. The recipient, or borrower, incurs a debt and is often responsible for both the main amount borrowed as well as interest payments on the debt until it is repaid.

The promissory note or equivalent document used to prove the debt will typically include information such as the principal borrowed amount, the interest rate being charged by the lender, and the due date. The subject asset is temporarily reallocated between the borrower and the lender as part of a loan.

The payment of interest encourages the lender to make the loan.

Hence, option (A) is accurate.

A new machine will cost $25,000. The machine is expectedto last 4 years and have no salvage value. If the interest rate is 12%, determine the return and the risk associated with the purchase. The following projections have been made.
Scenario 1 2 3
probability 0.3 0.4 0.3
annual savings $7000 $8500 $9500

Answers

Answer with its Explanation:

Requirement 1. Expected Annual Savings and Expected NPV

As we know that:

Expected Value = Probability P1 *  Expected Value E1    +   Probability P2 *  Expected Value E2    +  Probability P3 *  Expected Value E3    +  ....... Probability Pn *  Expected Value En

Here

P1 is 0.3 and E1 is $7000

P2 is 0.4 and E2 is $8500

P3 is 0.3 and E3 is $9500

By putting values, we have

Expected Annual Savings = 0.3 * $7,000   +   0.4 * $8,500    +    0.3 * $9,500 = $8,350

The above amount would be for first four years, hence it must be discounted using the annuity formula to calculate the present value of four annual receipts.

Annuity = [1 - (1 + r)^-n]  / r

By putting values, we have:

Annuity = $8,350 * [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4]  / 12%

And

Expected NPV = ($25,000) + $8,350 *  [1 - (1 + 12%)^-4]  / 12%

= $361.87

Requirement 2. Probable Return Percentage

Return Percentage = NPV / Investment =  $361.87/ $25,000

= 1.45%

Requirement 3. Associated risk

As we know that

Minimum return = Minimum annual savings – Uniform annual costs

Here

Minimum annual savings are $7,000

Uniform Annual Costs were $8,350

By putting values, we have:

Minimum return = $7,000  –  $8,350 = -$1,350 per year

Requirement 4. Risk Amount Percentage

Risk Amount percentage = Minimum Return / Uniform annual costs  * 100

Risk Amount percentage = $1,350 / 8,350   * 100 = 16.17%

The result of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions was to:_______

a. Make it obligatory for companies to adopt a zero-tolerance approach toward grease payments.
b. Make grease payments mandatory in order to obtain exclusive preferential treatment in a host nation.
c. Consider payment of speed money to be moral, but illegal.
d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.
e. Make it mandatory for companies to adhere to the pollution control standards of their home country in all the nations in which they do business.

Answers

Answer: d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.

Explanation:

In December 1997, signatories accounting for around 70% of World Trade adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions which stated that countries must install Legislative laws that would prohibit the bribing of foreign officials as well as strict penalties for parties who engage in such. This was done to ensure that the playing field was level so to speak instead of one company getting special treatment because they paid for it.

One concern however was that the Convention did not consider Facilitating Payments a criminal offence which means that it could be used as a bypass for the bribery of foreign officials to still happen.

At the end of the​ year, the market value of all of​ Sophie's beds was ​$26 comma 00026,000. Calculate​ Sophie's gross investment and depreciation during 2017. ​Sophie's gross investment during 2017 was ​$nothing. ​Sophie's depreciation during 2017 was ​$nothing.

Answers

Answer:

Net Investment = 4,000

Explanation:

Gross Investment = 10,000

Depreciation = Market Value - Book value

Depreciation =26,000 - 20,000

Depreciation = 6,000

Net Investment = Gross Investment - Depreciation

Net Investment = 10,000 - 6,000

Net Investment = 4,000

NOTE: Gross investment for 2017 will be the 3 new beds that Sophie bought during 2017 at a total cost of 10,000. To calculate Net investment we should calculate depreciation first by deducting book value from market value.

The board of directors of Capstone Inc. declared a $0.60 per share cash dividend on its $1 par common stock. On the date of declaration, there were 54,000 shares authorized, 15,000 shares issued, and 4,000 shares held as treasury stock. What is the entry when the dividends are declared

On August 1, Batson Company issued a 60-day note with a face amount of $58,800 to Jergens Company for merchandise inventory. (Assume a 360-day year is used for interest calculations.)
a) Determine the proceeds of the note assuming the note carries an interest rate of 10%.
b) Determine the proceeds of the note assuming the note is discounted at 10%.

Answers

Answer:

a. $58,800

b. $57,820

Explanation:

Generally, notes are issued on the discounted or face value. It is face value when the price of the note is the same as the face value while it is discounted when the price of the note is lower than the face or par value.

a. Since the note is issued on the face value of $58,800 , it means that the proceed is the same amount. The proceeds from a note that is issued, is that price at which the note is issued.

b. Discount value

= $58,800 × 10% × 60/360

= $980

Proceeds

= Face/par value of the note - Discount value of the note

= $58,800 - $980

= $57,820
