Answer:
The adjustment to system that would have the greatest impact on the reorder point is:
c. lower the standard deviation of the lead time to one half of a day.
Explanation:
Other listed options discussed issues not affecting the reorder point. It is the lead time that impacts the reorder point and directly affects the total inventory levels. The lead time sums the time occasioned by supply delay or how long the shipment of an order takes to reach the warehouse to the reordering delay or the time it takes to place an order after receiving the requisition or attaining the reorder point.
Stu deposited $400 in an account three years ago. Last year, he deposited $250 and plans to deposit $300 next year. The rate is 3 percent. Which one of these correctly states a portion of the formula needed to compute the future value five years from today
Answer and Explanation:
Future value = Present value x (1+i)^n, where
n = number of years
I = interest rate
From the question n = 8 years for the amount $400 ,
n= 7years for $250 ,
n=4years for $300
interest = 3%= 0.03
Future value of $400 = 400 (1 + 0.03)^8 = $506.71
Future value of $ 250 = 250 (1+0.03)^7 = $307.47
Future value of $ 300 =300(1+0.03)^4 = $337.65
Suppose the price level and value of the U.S. Dollar in year 1 are 1 and $1, respectively. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. If the price level rises to 1.55 in year 2, what is the new value of the dollar
Answer: $0.65
Explanation:
The Price Level and the value of a currency are inversely related because inflation erodes the value of the currency. Therefore if the price level increases, the value of the currency drops. The reverse is true.
The formula therefore is is;
New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{Price Level}[/tex]
New Value = [tex]\frac{1}{1.55}[/tex]
New Value = 0.6452
New Value = $0.65
Suppose the economy is in a recession. The economy needs to expand by at least $300 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6. What is the least amount the government can spend to overcome the $300 billion gap
Answer: $120 billion
Explanation:
Fron the question, we are told that an economy is in a recession and needs to expand by at least $300 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6.
The least amount the government can spend to overcome the $300 billion gap goes thus:
Since MPC = 0.6, then the multiplier will be:
= 1/(1-MPC)
= 1/(1-0.6)
= 1/0.4
=2.5
We are also informed that the required change in the money supply is $300 billion. Then, the investment needed will be:
= Expansion/Multiplier
= $300 billion/2.5
= $120 billion
Jamesway Corporation has two separate divisions that operate as profit centers. The following information is available for the most recent year: White divisionGrey division Sales (net)$270,000 $540,000 Salary expense37,800 64,800 Cost of goods sold135,000 202,500 The White Division occupies 25,000 square feet in the plant. The Grey Division occupies 25,000 square feet. Rent is an indirect expense and is allocated based on square footage. Rent expense for the year was $50,000. Gross profit for the White and Grey Divisions is: WhiteGrey A.$97,200 $272,700 B.$232,200 $475,200 C.$135,000 $337,500 D.$72,200 $247,700 E.$97,200 $247,700
Answer:
White Division Gross Profit = $72,200
Grey Division Gross Profit = $247,700
Explanation:
White Division Grey division
Sales (net) $270,000 $540,000
Less: Cost of goods sold $135,000 $202,500
Gross Margin $135,000 $337,500
Less: Salary Expenses $37,800 $64,800
Rent $25,000 $25,000
Gross Profit $72,200 $247,700
The White Division occupies 25,000 square feet in the plant. The Grey Division occupies 25,000 square feet. Hence, the rent expenses will be shared equally. Rent = $50,000 hence, both division will pay $25,000 each for rent
Given the following cash flows for a capital project, calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8 percent.
Year
0 1 2 3 4 5
Glass Flows $51100 $13150 $16050 $23900 $12400 $3050
The discounted payback period is:________.
a. 0.39 year longer than the payback period.
b. 0.64 year longer than the payback period.
c. 0.76 years longer than the payback period.
d. 0.25 years longer than the payback period.
Answer:
c. 0.76 years longer than the payback period.
Explanation:
Payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
the amounted invested in the project = $-51100
In year 1, the amount recovered = $-51,100 + $13150 = $-37,950
In year 2, the amount recovered = $-37,950 + $16050 = $-21,900
In year 3, the amount recovered = $-21,900 + $23900 = $2000
the amount invested is recovered in 2 + 21,900 / 23900 = 2.92 years
Discounted payback period calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
discounted cash flows
$13150 / 1.08 = $12,175.93
$16050 / 1.08^2 = $13,760.29
$23900 / 1.08^3 = $18972.59
$12400 / 1.08^4 = $9114.37
the amount is recovered in 3 + 6191.19 / 9114.37 = 3.68 years
the discounted payback is longer than the payback period by 3.68 years - 2.92 years = 0.76 years

Jaunkas, Corp., manufactures mid-fi and hi-fi stereo receivers. The following data have been summarized:
Mid-Fi Hi-Fi
Direct materials cost per unit $ 400 $ 1,300
Direct labor cost per unit 400 300
Indirect manufacturing cost per unit ? ?
Indirect manufacturing cost information includes the following:
Activity Allocation Rate Mid–Fi Hi–Fi
Setup $1,700/per setup 39 setups 39 setups
Inspections $ 400/per hour 45 hours 15 hours
Machine maintenance $ 10/per machine 1,900 machine 1,200 machine
hour hours hours
The company plans to manufacture 200 units of the mid-fi receivers and 250 units of the hi-fi receivers.
Requirement
Calculate the product cost per unit for both products using activity-based costing.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity Allocation Rate Mid–Fi Hi–Fi
Setup $1,700/per setup 39 setups 39 setups
Inspections $ 400/per hour 45 hours 15 hours
Machine maintenance $ 10/per machine 1,900 machine 1,200 machine
First, we need to allocate indirect costs using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Mid-Fi:
Allocated MOH= 1,700*39 + 400*45 + 10*1,900= $103,300
Hi-Fi:
Allocated MOH= 1,700*39 + 400*15 + 10*1,200= $84,300
Now, we can calculate the unitary cost.
Mid-Fi:
Unitary indirect costs= 103,300/200= $516.5
Unitary cost= 400 + 400 + 516.5= $1,316.5
Hi-Fi:
Unitary indirect cost= 84,300/250= $337.2
Unitary cost= 1,300 + 300 + 337.2= $1,937.2

Life Savers Gummies Fruit Splosions, liquid-filled gummies combined with a burst of real fruit juice, are a new product for The Wrigley Co. Before marketing the product nationwide, Wrigley gave out samples of the candy at several rock concerts and then recorded consumers' feelings about the candy, its taste, and its name. In which stage of the new-product development process would this have happened
Answer: D. Test marketing
Explanation:
Test Marketing is a stage in the New Product Development process where the product is tested in the real world or the Field Laboratory as it is otherwise known. Here the consumers are given a sample of the products and their responses are recorded without them knowing they are part of a test making their reactions as genuine as can be.
This stage helps the company more accurately ascertain how the new product will fare in the real world thereby giving them a chance to fix whatever needs fixing.
The American car battery industry boasts that its recycling rate now exceeds 95%, the highest rate for any commodity. However, with changes brought about by specialization and globalization, parts of the recycling system are moving offshore. This is particularly true of automobile batteries, which contain lead. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is contributing to the offshore flow with newly implemented standards that make domestic battery recycling increasingly difficult and expensive. The result is a major increase in used batteries going to Mexico, where environmental standards and control are less demanding than they are in the U.S. One in five batteries is now exported to Mexico. There is seldom difficulty finding buyers because lead is expensive and in worldwide demand. While U.S. recyclers operate in sealed, mechanized plants, with smokestacks equipped with scrubbers and plant surroundings monitored for traces of lead, this is not the case in most Mexican plants. The harm from lead is legendary
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The question is incomplete. There are parts of the question missing. Indeed, there is no question posted, it is just a statement.
However, we can do research and comment on the following.
We are facing two scenarios here. Both, ethical dilemmas that need to be solved.
1) as an independent auto repair shop owner that tries to safely dispose of a few old batteries each week. (Your battery supplier is an auto parts supplier who refuses to take your old batteries.)
In this case, I would check the original agreement with the supplier to see if there is a clause on old batteries management. If not, I would ask it to help me solve this issue because I am his client and has to take care of me and the environment. Otherwise, I would have to contemplate the option of changing supplier.
2) I am the manager of a large retailer responsible for the disposal of thousands of used batteries each day.
In this other case, I would follow the Environmental Department rules and regulations to comply with the correct procedures. This means to ask for support and orientation to get all the revisions to work properly. Because I know all the consequences of not recycling correctly or the damage done to humans and the environment. So although it could be more money, and would modernize my equipment to better manage the disposal of batteries. It would be an investment, not an expense.

Even though most corporate bonds in the united states make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of 1000,20 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 6.6 percent paid annually.
If the yield to maturity is 8.9 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of bond = $786.86
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond would be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 6.6% × 1,000× 1/2= 33
PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- semi-annual yield = 8.9%/2 = 4.45 %
n- 20× 2= 40
PV of interest payment= 33 × (1-(1.0445^(-40)/0.0445 = 611.611
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV = 1,000 × (1.0445)^(-40) = 175.25
Step 3
Price of bond
Price of bond= 611.611 + 175.25 = 786.862
Price of bond = $786.86
Nicolas Enterprises sells a product for $67 per unit. The variable cost is $33 per unit, while fixed costs are $231,200. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $73 per unit.
Answer:
a)Break-even point = 6,800 units
b) Break-even point =5780 units
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.
The break-even point is calculated as
Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period)/ contribution per unit
Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost
Contribution per unit = 67 - 33 = 34
Fixed cost =231,200
So the units requited to achieve break-even point:
Break-even point = 231,200/34 = 6,800 units
Break-even point = 6,800 units
b) If the selling price wete increased to 73
The break-even point = 231,200/ (73- 33) = 5,780 units
Break-even point =5780 units
A bond has a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and pays a coupon of 5.5% per year, annually. The bond is callable in ten years at $1,075. If the bond’s yield to maturity is 5.89% per year, what is its yield to call? Question 13 options: A) 5.87% B) 6.57% C) 6.11% D) 6.43% E) 6.68%
Answer:
6.68% , option E is correct
Explanation:
The price of the bond can be computed using the below formula for bond price calculation:
bond price=face value/(1+r)^n+coupon*(1-(1+r)^-n)/r
face value is $1000
r is the yield to maturity which is 5.89%
coupon=face value*coupon rate=1000*5.5%=55
n is the number of coupons the bond would pay which is 11 coupons over 20 years
bond price=1000/(1+5.89%)^20+55*(1-(1+5.89%)^-20)/5.89%
bond price=$ 954.87
The yield on the call can be determined using excel rate function as further explained below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupons the bond would pay before being called in ten years' time i.e 10 coupons
pmt is the is the amount of annual coupon=$1000*5.5%=$55
pv is the current price of $954.87
fv is the call price which is $1,075
=rate(10,55,-954.87,1075)=6.68%
Q 11.26: The board of directors of Testa Incorporated has decided that they would like to declare a $400,000 cash dividend at some point in the near future. The company currently has Retained Earnings of $2,419,000 and a Cash balance of $827,000. They also have current liabilities totaling $436,000. What is missing in order for Testa to be able to pay a cash dividend
Answer: B. : a healthy cash reserve
Explanation:
For the company to be able to declare a Dividend, it's cash reserve needs to be healthy. For this to happen use the following formula;
Free cash balance = Available cash balance - Current Liabilities payable
= 827,000 - 436,000
= $391,000
After taking out the money that will be needed to pay the Current Liabilities, there would be an insufficient balance to pay off the Dividends of $400,000.
Their cash reserve is not healthy enough for the dividends to be declared.
The thing that is missing in order for Testa to be able to pay a cash dividend is a healthy cash reserve.
It should be noted that for the company to be able to declare a dividend, it's important that the cash reserve is healthy.
The free cash balance can be calculated as:
= Available cash balance - Current Liabilities payable
= $827,000 - $436,000
= $391,000
When the current liabilities are paid, there would be an insufficient balance to pay off the dividends of $400,000. Therefore, a healthy cash reserve is required.

You invest a single amount of $14,800 for 7 years at 15 percent. At the end of 7 years you take the proceeds and invest them for 14 years at 17 percent. How much will you have after 21 years
Answer:
Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11
Explanation:
The value of an amount invested at a certain rate of return for certain number of years where interest compounded annually is known as the future value.
The future value of an investment can be determined using the future value formula. This formula is stated below:
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
FV - Future Value , PV- Present Value, r-rate of return, n- number of years
For the first round of investment 15% for 7 years, future value would be:
FV = 14,800 × (1.15)^(7) = 39,368.29
Second round of investing 17% for 14 year, future value would be
FV = 39,368.29 × (1.17)^(14)= 354,608.11
Future Value =$354,608.11
Value of investment after 21 years = $354,608.11

If Treasury bills are currently paying 6.5 percent and the inflation rate is 1.3 percent, what is the approximate and the exact real rate of interest
Answer:
the approximate real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate = 6.5% - 1.3% = 5.2%
the exact real interest rate is calculated using the following formula:
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected rate of inflation)
(1 + 0.065) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.013)
1 + real interest rate = (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.013) = 1.065 / 1.013 = 1.05133
real interest rate = 1.05133 - 1 = 0.05133 = 5.13%
Assume ExxonMobil's price dropped to $35 overnight. Given the dividend growth rate of ExxonMobil of 8.00% and the last annual dividend of $1.70, what is the implied required rate of return necessary to justify the new lower market price of $ 35? What is the implied required rate of return necessary to justify the new lower market price of $ 35?
Answer:
Re = 13.26%
Explanation:
we can use the dividend growth model:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
P₀ = $35Div₁ = $1.70 x 1.08 = $1.836g = 8%Re = cost of equity or required rate of return = ?$35 = $1.836 / (Re - 0.08)
Re - 0.08 = $1.836 / $35 = 0.0526
Re = 0.0526 + 0.08 = 0.1326 = 13.26%
