500 units shipped from Topeka to Memphis300 units shipped from Topeka to Austin350 units shipped from Dallas to Austin

Explanation:

minimize the following equation:

12T1 + 20T2 + 15D1 + 22D2

where:

T1 = lamp sent from Topeka to Memphis

T2 = lamp sent from Topeka to Austin

D1 = lamp sent from Dallas to Memphis

D2 = lamp sent from Dallas to Austin

T1 + D1 = 500

T2 + D2 = 650

T1 + T2 ≤ 800

Find the size of the semi-annual payments required in order for the parents to have saved the desired amount by Matt's 18th birthday. Find the total amount deposited by the parents. As of Matt's 18th birthday, find the total amount of interest earned by the account. Enter the answer to Part c in the box below. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

a. $1,916.00

b. $‭30,656‬

c. $‭7,617‬

Explanation:

a. As they are depositing a set amount every 6 months, this is an annuity. The $36,273 is the future value of the annuity in 8 years.

n = 8 years * 6 = 16 semi annual periods

rate = 4.4/ 2 = 2.2% every 6 months

Future value = Amount * (([1 + i]^n) - 1 )/i

36,273 = Amount * (([1 + 2.2%]^16) - 1 )/2.2%

36,273 = Amount * 18.931485

Amount = 36,273/18.931485

= $1,916.00

b. Total amount deposited

= 16 * 1,916

= $‭30,656‬

c. Total amount of interest earned;

= Amount in fund - Total deposited

= 38,273 - 30,656

= $‭7,617‬

Suppose you purchase a​ ten-year bond with annual coupons.You hold the bond for four years and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the​ bond's yield to maturity was when you purchased and sold the​ bond, a. What cash flows will you pay and receive from your investment in the bond per face​ value? b. What is the internal rate of return of your​ investment?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The Full question is "Suppose you purchase a 10-year bond with 6% annual coupons. You hold the bond for four years, and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the bond’s yield to maturity was 5% when you purchased and sold the bond, what cash flows will you pay and receive from your investment in the bond per $100 face value?"

Face Value = $100  

YTM = 5%

Annual Coupon = 6% * $100 = $6

Purchase Price = $6*PVIFA(5%, 10) + $100*PVIF(5%, 10)

Purchase Price = $6*(1-(1/1.05)^10)/0.05 + 100/1.05^10

Purchase Price = $107.72

Selling Price = $6*PVIFA(5%, 6) + $100*PVIF(5%, 6)

Selling Price = $6*(1-(1/1.05)^6)/0.05 + 100/1.05^6

Selling Price = $105.08

Cash Outflow at Year 0 = $107.72  

Cash Inflow at Year 1 = $6

Cash Inflow at Year 2 = $6

Cash Inflow at Year 3 = $6

Cash Inflow at Year 4 = $6 + $105.08 = $111.08

B.  The internal rate of return of your​ investment = 5.001% (Find attach the calculation)

Joint Cost Allocation—Net Realizable Value Method Nature's Garden Inc. produces wood chips, wood pulp, and mulch. These products are produced through harvesting trees and sending the logs through a wood chipper machine. One batch of logs produces 20,304 cubic yards of wood chips, 14,100 cubic yards of mulch, and 9,024 cubic yards of wood pulp. The joint production process costs a total of $32,000 per batch. After the split-off point, wood chips are immediately sold for $25 per cubic yard while wood pulp and mulch are processed further. The market value of the wood pulp and mulch at the split-off point is estimated to be $22 and $24 per cubic yard, respectively. The additional production process of the wood pulp costs $5 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $30 per cubic yard. The additional production process of the mulch costs $4 per cubic yard, after which it is sold for $32 per cubic yard.

(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

there are no cash flows given, so I will use another question as an example:

NCF year 0 = -$1,150,000

NCF year 1 = $275,000

NCF year 2 = $275,000

NCF year 3 = $275,000

NCF year 4 = $275,000

NCF year 5 = $275,000

NCF year 6 = $275,000

NCF year 7 = $275,000

a) when cash flows are the same for all the years, you can use an ordinary annuity factor:

PV = $275,000 x 4.86842 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 7 periods) = $1,338,815.50

NPV = -$1,150,000 + $1,338,815.50 = $188,815.50

b) PV = $275,000 x 3.81153 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 7 periods) = $1,048,170.75

NPV = -$1,150,000 + $1,048,170.75 = -$101,829.25

c) PV = $275,000 x 3.24232 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 7 periods) = $891,638

NPV = -$1,150,000 + $891,638 = -$258,362

If the cash flows are different, then you must discount each cash flow individually.

E.g. NCF year 0 = -$150,000

NCF year 1 = $75,000

NCF year 2 = $85,000

NCF year 3 = $95,000

NPV = -$150,000 + $75,000/1.1 + $85,000/1.1² + $95,000/1.1³ = $59,804.66

The contract specifies the services that Waldman is to perform, and the payment terms. Waldman and the customer both can cancel the contract without penalty prior to commencing service. Does Waldman have a contract for purposes of revenue recognition on the day the contract is received

Answers

Answer:

Waldman Associates

Waldman does not have a contract for purposes of revenue recognition on the day the contract is received.

Explanation:

Revenue from contracts with customers becomes recognizable after the performance of the obligations and not before.  Revenue is recognized when the contractor has transferred the benefits to the beneficiary and not before. Revenue, in this instance, is to be recognized based on past performance.  According to IFRS 15 and ASC 606, revenue is recognized when each performance obligation has been fully satisfied.  This is the point when economic benefit has been conferred on the other contracting party.

Calculate GDP loss if equilibrium level of GDP is $8,000, unemployment rate 8.8%, and the MPC is 0.80. Hint: (Use Okun's law to calculate GDP loss)

Answers

Answer:

Loss of gdp = 7.6%

Eliminate gdp loss = 121.6

Explanation:

According to Okun's law , 12% loss of gdp.

Natural rate of unemployment=5%

Cyclical unemployment = Actual unemployment - Rate of Unemployment

Cyclical unemployment = 8.8% - 5%

Cyclical unemployment =3.8%

Loss of gdp = 3.8%(2)

Loss of gdp = 7.6%

Loss of gdp = (7.6%(8,000)

Loss of gdp = 608

Spending multiplier = 1/(1 - mpc)

Spending multiplier = 1/(1 - 0.8)

Spending multiplier = 1/ 0.2

Spending multiplie = 5

So,

Eliminate gdp loss = 608/5

Eliminate gdp loss = 121.6

Royal Enterprises has presented the following information for the past three months operations:
Month Units Average Cost
June 3,300 $ 11.80
July 5,700 $ 7.80
August 6,900 $ 7.00
a. Using the high-low method, calculate the fixed cost per month and variable cost per unit. (Round your variable cost to 2 decimal places.)
b. What would total costs be for a month with 5,300 units produced?

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Month Units Average Cost

June 3,300 $ 11.80=38,940

July 5,700 $ 7.80 = 44,460

August 6,900 $ 7.00 = 48,300

To calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (48,300 - 38,940) / (6,900 - 3,300)

Variable cost per unit=  $2.6

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 48,300 - (2.6*6,900)

Fixed costs= $30,360

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 38,940 - (2.6*3,300)

Fixed costs= $30,360

Now, the total cost for 5,300 units:

Total cost= 30,360 + 2.6*5,300

Total cost= $44,140

A state savings bond can be converted to $100 at maturity six years from purchase. If the state bonds pay 8% annual interest (compounded annually), at what price must the state sell its bonds

Answers

Answer:

The state must sell its bonds at the price of $63.02.

Explanation:

The at which the state must sell its bond can be calculated using the present value (PV) as follows:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ......................... (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or the price at which the state must sell its bond = ?

FV = Future value of the bond or the value the state savings bond can be converted to at maturity = $100

r = Annual interest rate = 8%, or 0.08

n = number of years = 6

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

PV = $100 / (1 + 0.08)^6

PV = $100 / (1.08)^6

PV = $100 / 1.586874322944

PV = $63.02

Therefore, the state must sell its bonds at the price of $63.02.

The specific The specific identification inventory costing method: Select one: A. Measures the ending inventory at the actual prices of the specific units sold during the period B. Is more appropriate for a firm selling construction equipment than for a firm selling greeting cards C. Is not a generally accepted method of pricing inventories D. Uses expected future acquisition costs rather than historical costs to measure the ending inventoryinventory costing method:

Answers

Answer:

A. Measures the ending inventory at the actual prices of the specific units sold during the period

Explanation:

The Specific identification inventory costing method is a strategy of getting the actual ending inventory cost. To get this cost requires the deliberate manual calculation of each of the remaining commodities brought on certain dates, at year-end inventory. The number gotten is then multiplied by their actual cost of purchase date. The result is then taken as the ending inventory cost.

Consequently, the purpose is to allocates the specific cost of each inventory item to cost of goods sold.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option A. Measures the ending inventory at the actual prices of the specific units sold during the period.

You are a business owner of a firm that services trucks. A customer would like to rent a truck from you for one week, while you service his truck. You must decide whether or not to rent him a truck. You have an extra truck that you will not use for any other purpose during this week. This truck is leased for a full year from another company for $300/ week plus $.50 for every mile driven. You also have paid an annual insurance premium, which costs $50/ week to insure the truck. The truck has a full 100-gallon fuel tank. The customer has offered you $600 to rent the truck for a week. The price includes the 100 gallons of fuel that is in the tank. It also includes the 100 gallons of fuel that is in the tank. It also includes up to 500 miles of driving. The customer will pay $.50 for each additional mile that he drives above the 500 miles. You anticipate that the customer will bring back the truck with an empty fuel tank and will have driven more than 500 miles. You sell fuel to truckers at a retail price $4.00/gallon. Any fuel you sell or use can be replaced at a wholesale price of $3.25/gallon. The customer will rent a truck from another company if you do not accept the proposed deal. In either case, you will service his truck. You know the customer and are confident that he will pay all charges incurred under the agreement.
1. Should you accept or reject the proposed deal? Why, or why not? Show calculations.
2. Would your answer change if your fuel supplier limited the amount of fuel that you could purchase from him at the wholesale price? Explain.

Answers

Explanation:Given data:

Yearly lease from the company = $300/weekly +$.50 for every driven mile.

Annual insurance = $50/weekly.

Customer offer = $600 for a week ( 100 gallons of fuel in the truck inclusive).

Customer pays and additional $.50 for mile driven above 500.

Solution:

Cost of fuel in the truck

= 100 * $3.25

= $325.

Insurance cost = $50.

Total cost = $375.

Customer offer – total cost

= $600 – $375.

= $225.

1.The proposal should be accepted because even after deductions of the cost of running the truck, you are still left with $225 which doesn’t include the cost the customer would incite for driving above 500 miles.

2.No, as that would only have a little effect on the cost of running the truck. So my answer would still be same.

Total PV= $5,399.2

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Year Cash Flow

1 $1,950

2 1,850

3 1,550

4 1,350

Discount rate= 9.9%

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:

PV= Cf/(1+i)^n

PV1= 1,950/1.099= 1,774.34

PV2= 1,850/1.099^2= 1,531.71

PV3= 1,550/1.099^3= 1,167.72

PV4= 1,350/1.099^4= 925.43

Total PV= $5,399.2

Business cycle: The business cycle shows the movement of the GDP which can either be upward or downward. It shows how the economy's doing.

Trough: The trough is a phase in the business cycle whereby the gross domestic product for a particular economy has stopped reducing and the economy has started to rise.

Disposable income: This is the income that is left with an individual after personal income tax has been removed from the personal income of such individual.

Net domestic product: Net domestic product is when depreciation is subtracted from the gross domestic product.

Compute Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio if its common stock has a market value of $29.04 per share and its EPS is $4.80. Considering Lower deck, its key competitor, has a PE ratio of 9.5, which company does the market have higher expectations of future performance?

Answers

Answer:

Since the Lower deck's price-earnings ratio of 9.5 is higher than Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio of 6.05, the market therefore have higher expectations of future performance of Lower deck.

Explanation:

Price-earnings ratio refers to the ratio of the market price per share (MPS) to the earning per share (EPS) of a company.

Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio can therefore, be computed using the following formula:

Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio = MPS / EPS ........... (1)

Where;

MPS = Common stock market value = $29.04

EPS = $4.80

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio = $29.04 / $4.80 = 6.05

It should be noted that companies that have a high Price Earnings Ratio are usually referred as growth stocks. The implication of this is that there is a positive future performance which makes investors to have higher expectations for future earnings growth. As a result, the investors are ready to pay more for the stock of the firms.

Since the Lower deck's price-earnings ratio of 9.5 is higher than Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio of 6.05, the market therefore have higher expectations of future performance of Lower deck.

Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio  is 6.05.

The company that has a higher expectations of future performance is Lower deck.

PE ratio is known as the price per earnings ratio. It the ratio of the price of the shares of a company to its earnings per share. The higher the PE ratio, the higher the prospects of higher future performance.

Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio = $29.04 / $4.80 = 6.05

Lower deck has a higher PE ratio compared with Topp Company’s price-earnings ratio, so it has a higher expectations of future performance.

Answers

Answer:

Set aside a sum of money that he will only be allowed to spend if he achieves the desired grade for the class. ⇒ REWARD

Rewarding himself with some type of treat only after he has studied. ⇒ REWARD

Explanation:

Your friend could use conditional training to change his behavior. But which is more efficient, punishments or rewards? Generally, most people consider that rewards are more efficient than punishments. Doing something because you can gain something good from it is better than not doing something because you are afraid of the punishment or the bad consequences.

Making a firm commitment to study with someone else can also yield a reward (social reward), the problem is that the option states that his partner depends on your friend for him/her to study. It is never good to depend on someone else to do something that you should be able to do for yourself. This means that both, your friend and his study partner, have serious issues regarding their study habits. Unlike math, two negatives do not form a positive in real life. The option would have been valid if your friend just committed himself to study with someone else.

Answers

Answer:

90,000

Explanation:

An intangible asset is an asset that is not physical in nature. Goodwill, brand recognition and intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, are all intangible assets.

Trademarks                                                 = 15,000

Excess of cost over the fair value of net

identifiable assets  (Goodwill)                     = 75,000

Total intangible assets                                 = 90,000

You observed the bid rate of a New Zealand dollar is $.3324 while the ask rate is $.3342 at Bank X. The bid rate of the New Zealand dollar is $.3232 while the ask rate is $.3249 at Bank Y. What would be your dollar amount profit if you use $1,000,000 to execute locational arbitrage?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of profit is $23,084

Explanation:

First of all we need to convert the $1,000,000 to NZ$ as follow

Amount in NZ$ = Amount / Ask rate at Bank Y

Amount in NZ$ = $1,000,000 / $0.3249 per NZ$

Amount in NZ$ = NZ$ 3,077,870.11

Now sell the amount in the Bank X

Amount of Dollar available after sale = Amount in NZ$ x bid rate at Bank X

Amount of Dollar available after sale = NZ$ 3,077,870.11 x $0.3324 per NZ$

Amount of Dollar available after sale = $1,023,084.03

Now calculate the arbitrage profit

Arbitrage profit =  $1,023,084.03 - $1,000,000

Arbitrage profit =  $23,084.03

Arbitrage profit =  $23,084

A stock just paid a dividend of $4.01 and is expected to maintain a constant dividend growth rate of 4.7 percent indefinitely. If the current stock price is $66, what is the required return on the stock?

Answers

Answer:

11.06%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of the required return on the stock is shown below:-

Required rate of return = Current Dividend × (1 + growth) ÷ Current Price + Growth

= $4.01 × (1 + 4.7%) ÷ 66 + 4.7%

= 11.06%

Therefore for computing the required rate of return we simply applied the above formula.

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

Or to see an eagle, an osprey, or a falcon! Robert loved to think about large birds with great yellow talons, soaring across the sky and seeing every corner of the earth that people could not see. 2 But Robert lived in the city, where such birds were never seen. He used to fall asleep at night imagining a hawks wings forming arcs across a great big blue sky, which he pictured as a wide, open field where no legged animals could run but only winged animals could soar. As he drifted into dreams, the birds in his imagination morphed into dragons and pterodactyls and all manner of ancient or other- worldly flying creatures. Robert would wake in the morning smiling at the thought of this big blue field in his dreams. But he spent each day on the subway and walking along crowded sidewalks and looking up between tall buildings where he could catch only a sliver of blue. 3 As he got older, Robert tried to forget about his dreams and focus all his attention on his studies. At school, he took the hardest classes he could and was in advanced placement math and science before long. He decided that if he could not see hawks and eagles and falcons in their natural habitat, he would learn everything he could about how those animals worked. He loved to think about how lessons from birds had led to the first experiments in human flight and the development of airplanes. 4 Robert devoured books about the inventors of the airplanes and the physics that made air travel successful. His devotion to this topic confused his parents, who saw in him a smart and eager child who could study medicine or the law and have a good career. 5 Stop daydreaming about birds! they would say to him. 6 But Robert continued to spend as much time as he could learning about what made flying possible. 7 Sometimes, even as he was older - a college student now, living in a cramped dorm-room with three other boys his age - Robert would drift off to sleep imagining that big open sky filled with hawks and osprey and dragons. He knew it was silly, but he held on to that image. It filled him with hope for something he couldnt quite name. He would ask himself what he was hoping for. 8 Do I want to see a hawk or an eagle or a falcon, or do I hope to someday fly like one of them myself? Robert would say, to no one other than himself. 9 The college Robert attended was also in the city, and he hadnt found a way to travel outside of it yet. He still could only dream about that big blue field above. 10 One day, just before graduation, Robert got a phone call from someone he didnt know. When he answered, the voice on the other end made an unusual announcement. 11 Im looking for someone to test fly a new airplane Im developing, the voice said. Professor Jackson gave me your name. He said he had never had another student as devoted to the art of flying as Robert Smith. Would you be interested in coming in to learn more about my new plane? 12 Robert jotted down the address and date of the interview, and hung up the phone smiling. He couldnt help but close his eyes and picture the big blue field, filled with all manner of flying creatures. Maybe soon he would be among them. 1.
