Suppose that it has just been projected that, because of a number of technological innova- tions, your firm will need 20 percent fewer clerical employees within the next three years. There are currently 122 clerical positions in the company, split between three departments of equal size. Retirements at this level are projected to be roughly 2 percent per year. Annual vol- untary turnover and involuntary turnover for Department A is 2 percent and 5 percent, respectively; Department B is 3 percent and 3 percent; and Department C is 5 percent and 0 percent. Do you project a labour shortage or surplus in the next three years for clerical positions

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There will be a labor shortage

Explanation:

number of clerical staffs present = 122 staffs

number of clerical staffs needed in 3 years

= 122 - ( 20% * 122 ) = 97.6 ≈ 98 staffs

next : lets project the number of employees in next three years considering the voluntary and involuntary turnovers

= 122*(1-2%)^3 * (((1-7%)^3)/3  +  ((1-6%)^3)/3  +  ((1-5%)^3)/3)

= 95.4 ≈ 94 staffs

since the projected number of employees is < number of clerical staffs needed in 3 years, There will be a labor shortage

The governor has proposed to clean up all the trash on the side of the highway. The project is estimated to cost the tax payers and additional $15,000. The city will benefit by having a clean highway which will entice tourists to stop along their routes. The project is estimated to bring in $12,000 of revenue from the highway being cleaned. Should the governor continue with the project

Answers

Answer:

No, the project will not bring in enough benefit to cover the costs.

Explanation:

In a project or business enterprise there is a need to do a cost-revenue analysis with the aim of maximising profit.

If the revenue generated by a project is more than the cost, then it is viable and profitable.

However if the revenue is less than cost then the project will not be sustainable.

In the given scenario the clean up project is estimated to cost the tax payers an additional $15,000.

The city will have an estimated revenue of $12,000 from the highway being cleaned.

As the revenue is less than the cost it is better to discontinue the project.

Imagine a hypothetical economy with a population of 100 people, 80 of which over sixteen. Forty eight of these people who are working and twelve people who are willing, able and looking for work cannot find jobs. The unemployment rate in this economy is____________ % (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign). S

Suppose that 10 of those unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work. Now, the unemployment rate is __________% (enter percentage as a whole number, not a decimal, no percentage sign).

Answers

Answer:

a) unemployment rate = 15

b) unemployment rate = 2.5

Explanation:

unemployed people are those who are willing and available to work and have actively been seeking a job in the past four weeks. This accurately describes the 12 people who are willing, able and looking for work but cannot find jobs. To calculate the unemployment rate in percentage, the following formula is used:

[tex]unemployment\ rate = \frac{number\ of\ unemployed}{labour\ force} \times 100\\[/tex]

Where:

a) Number of unemployed = 12

Labour force = 80 (number of people over 16 years of age)

[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15\\[/tex]

b) if 10 of the unemployed people get discouraged and give up looking for work, the number of unemployed becomes 2 persons, (12 - 10 = 2).

[tex]\therefore unemployment\ rate = \frac{2}{80} \times 100 = \frac{200}{80} = 2.5[/tex]

The Sandeep Company's April 30 pre-reconciliation cash balance on its books was $35,000. While preparing the April 30 bank reconciliation, Sandeep determined that outstanding checks total $11,000, deposits in transit total $7,000, and bank service charges are $50. Assuming there are no other reconciling items, what was Sandeep's April 30 cash balance per the bank statement

Answers

Answer: $38,950

Explanation:

The bank balance and the book cash balance might often be different for different reasons, one of which is due to the transactions recorded in the books not having been processed by the banks amongst others.

The books and bank balance will therefore need to be reconciled.

Balance per bank statement = Cash balance in books + Outstanding checks - Deposits in transit - Bank charges

= 35,000 + 11,000 - 7,000 - 50

= $38,950

An agent is referred to as someone who is given authority by the principal and acts in his or her behalf and the agent is also under the control of such person.

From the question, the principal is Bob while Betty is his agent. The relationship that exist in thus case is the perceived relationship which means that the third party that us, the tenants in thus case believe that an agent is authorised by the principal to do a particular work such as collection of rent in this case but in reality thus doesn't exist. They ate not meant to pay to the manager in this case but they acted based on their perception and since the principal didn't complain, they continued doing it.

Answers

Answer:

Production= 455,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Inventory= 81,000

Ending Inventory= 51,000

Sales= 485,000

To calculate the production required for the period, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 485,000 + 51,000 - 81,000

Production= 455,000 units

When Valley Co. acquired 80% of the common stock of Coleman Corp., Coleman owned land with a book value of $75,000 and a fair value of $125,000. What is the amount of excess land allocation attributed to the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date

Answers

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

The amount of excess land allocation attributed to the non controlling interest at the acquisition date is computed below;

Non controlling interest of acquisition date

= (Book value of land - Fair value of land) × 20%

Given that;

Book value of land = $125,000

Fair value of land = $75,000

Then,

Non controlling interest of acquisition date

= ($125,000 - $75,000) × 20%

= $50,000 × 20%

= $10,000

You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is 10 percent and the inflation rate is 4.8 percent. What real amount must you deposit each year to achieve your goal

Answers

Answer:

Annual deposit= $23,647.9

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value (FV)= 3,000,000

Numer of periods (n)= 40 years

Nominal rate= 10%

Inflation rate= 4.8%

To simplify calculations, we will calculate the real interest rate by deducting from the nominal interest rate the inflation rate:

Real interest rate= 0.1 - 0.048

Real interest rate= 0.052

Now, to calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (3,000,000*0.052) / [(1.052^40) - 1]

A= $23,647.9

Any profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia.  Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred.  These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop.The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $35.00 $87.50
The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 60 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:
Labor rate variance $ 50 F
Labor spending variance $ 55 U
Required:
1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.
2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week.

Answers

Answer:

Actual Quantity= 151.57

Actual Rate= $3.17

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard Hours 2.50

Standard Rate $35.00

Standard Cost $87.50

Number of tune-ups= 60

Labor rate variance $ 50 F

Labor spending variance $ 55 U

First, we need to calculate the actual number of hours. We need to use the direct labor efficiency variance:

Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate

-55 = (60*2.5 - Actual Quantity)*35

-55 = 5,250 - 35Actual Quantity

35Actual Quantity = 5,305

Actual Quantity= 151.57

Now, the actual hourly rate. We need to use the direct labor rate variance formula:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

50 = (3.5 - Actual Rate)*151.57

50= 530.5 - 151.57Actual Rate

151.57Actual Rate= 480.5

Actual Rate= $3.17

You are the VP of Marketing at Stauffer Foods and you learn that the puddings packaged desserts line from General Foods (GF) is available for acquisition. This division produces successful products like Pudding Pops, Instant Pudding, and Pudding in a Cup. You make some of assumptions about this line. Which assumption would you not make

Answers

Answer: purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods

Explanation:

The options include:

a. purchasing the line would bring established distribution for Stauffer Foods.

b. purchasing the line would add equity value to Stauffer Foods.

c. All would be reasonable assumptions to make.

d. purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods

e. purchasing the line could create some difficulties in dealing with debt load.

The assumption that shouldn't be made is that purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods.

When a product is acquired, one should not expect immediate profit or cash flow instantly. Purchasing the line would not bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods because it's a gradual process even though there may eventually be cash flow and profit in the long run.

All the other options that re given are correct, therefore the correct option is D.

b. Appropriate Journal Entry:

Debit Cost of goods sold (Inventory Write-down) $28,000

Credit Inventory $28,000

To adjust the inventory to the net realizable value.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Management estimated market value of inventory = $99,000

Record cost of inventory = $120,000

Recognized loss = $21,000

Auditor's estimate of inventory net realizable value = $71,000 ($78,000 - $7,000)

Required adjustment of inventory value = $28,000 ($99,000 - $71,000)

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years. b. We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows. c. The crossover rate, i.e., the rate at which Projects A and B have the same NPV, is greater than either project's IRR. d. The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem. e. More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.

Answers

Answer: a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years.

Explanation:

When a project has its cashflows occurring in later years, the NPV will be less because the discount rate would have a greater period to discount it in as opposed to cashflows that occur more recently which would receive less discounting from the discount rate.

As a result of Project A having more distant cashflows, the discount rate discounted its cash flows more which is why higher rates led to its NPV being zero because those higher rates got to discount it over a longer period.

Your job pays you only once a year for all the work you did over the previous 12 months. Today, December 31, you just received your salary of $58,000 and you plan to spend all of it. However, you want to start saving for retirement beginning next year. You have decided that one year from today you will begin depositing 3 percent of your annual salary in an account that will earn 11 percent per year. Your salary will increase at 6 percent per year throughout your career.
Required: How much money will you have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today?

Answers

Answer:

The amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

Explanation:

This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value of growing annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ...................................... (1)

Where

FV = Future value or the amount on the date of retirement = ?

M = First annual deposit = Annual salary * Deposit percentage = $58,000 * 3% = $1,740

r = annual interest rate = 11%, or 0.11

g = salary growth rate = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of years = 40 years

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,740 * (((1 + 0.11)^40 - (1 + 0.06)^40) / (0.11 - 0.06))

FV = $1,740 * 1,094.30298736951

FV = $1,904,087.20

Therefore, the amount you will have on the date of your retirement 40 years from today is $1,904,087.20.

A callable bond:
A. Is generally call protected during the entire term of the bond issue,
B. generally will have a call protection period during the final three years prior to maturity.
C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.
D. is prohibited from having a sinking fund also.
E. Is frequently called at a price that is less than par value

Answers

Answer:

C. may be structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call.

Explanation:

A callable bond is also called a redeemable bond. It a debt instrument that the issuer may decide to call or redeem before the maturity date.

This is used by bond issuers to have a cheaper cost of borrowing funds.

For example when interests are low the issuer can buy back his bonds at a lower cost this reducing his debt burden.

So callable bonds are structured to pay bondholders the current value of the bond on the date of call or redemption.

Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 8% with semiannual payments of $40, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,196.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,080. What is the bond's current yield

Answers

Answer:

6.69%

Explanation:

Price of Ace products bond issue = $1,196

Annual coupon payment = $80

Current yield = Annual coupon payment / Bond price

Current yield = $80/$1,196

Current yield = 0.0668896

Current yield = 6.69%

Assume that a state government currently provides no child-care subsidies to working single parents, but it now wants to adopt a plan that will encourage labor force participation among single parents. Suppose that child-care costs are hourly, and suppose the government adopts a child-care subsidy that pays $3 per hour for each hour the parent works, up to 8 hours per day. Draw a current budget constraint (net of child-care costs) for an assumed single mother and then draw in the new constraint. Discuss the likely effects on labor force participation and hours of work.

Answers

Answer:

The line on the graph will be parallel to the pre-subsidy line and the new constraint will then be equal to the points connecting the two lines.

Explanation:

The subsidy by government to single parents is $3 per hour for up to 8 hours. The total of subsidy will be $16 for each day. The labor force who were not receiving the subsidy before had steep indifference curve but now few workers will find utility maximization with flatter indifference curve so the workers will join the subsidy program.

Zhang Industries sells a product for $700. Unit sales for May were 400 and each month's sales are expected to grow by 3%. Zhang pays a sales manager a monthly salary of $3,000 and a commission of 2% of sales in dollars. Assume 30% of Zhang's sales are for cash. The remaining 70% are credit sales; these customers pay in the month following the sale. Compute the budgeted cash receipts for June.Multiple Choice$282,520.$196,000.$280,000.$201,880.$285,880.

Answers

Answer:

Total cash collection= $282,520

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales May= 400 units

Sales June= 400*1.03= 412 units

Selling price= $700

30% of Zhang's sales are for cash.

The remaining 70% are credit sales; these customers pay in the month following the sale.

To calculate the cash receipts, we need to use the following structure:

Cash collection June:

Sales in Cash June= (412*700)*0.3= 86,520

Sales in Account from May= (400*700)*0.7= 196,000

Total cash collection= $282,520
