Answer and Explanation:
The calculations and computations as per the question requirement are given below
a. Daily demand for this product is
Daily demand = Annual demand ÷ Working days per year
= 8,000 ÷ 250
= 32 units
b. The calculation of the number of days for continuing the production is
= current production plan calls ÷ production capacity
= 400 ÷ 200
= 2 days
c. The production runs per year required is
Number of production runs per year = Annual demand ÷ Production quantity
= 8,000 ÷ 400
= 20
d. In the case of production stops, the number of refrigerators and the average inventory is
But processing this first we have to find out the maximum inventory level which is
= Q × (1 - d ÷ p)
As
Q represents Production quantity
d represents daily demand
p represents production capacity
Therefore, the maximum inventory level is
= 400 × (1 - 32 ÷ 300)
= 400 × (1 - 0.16)
= 400 × 0.84
= 336 refrigerators
Hence, the average inventory is
= Maximyum inventory ÷ 2
= 336 refrigerators ÷ 2
= 168 refrigerators
e. The total annual set up cost and holding cost is
But before this, we need to compute it individually
Annual set up cost = Number of production runs per year × Set up cost
= 20 × $120
= $2,400
Annual holding cost = Average inventory level × Holding cost
= 168 × $50
= $8,400
Total annual set up cost and holding cost is
= $2,400 + $8,400
= $10,800
Texas-Q Company produces and sells barbeque grills. Texas-Q sells three models: a small portable gas grill, a larger stationary gas grill, and the specialty smoker. In the coming year, Texas-Q expects to sell 20,000 portable grills, 50,000 stationary grills, and 5,000 smokers. Information on the three models is as follows:
Portable Stationary Smokers
Price $90 $200 $250
Variable cost per unit 45 130 140
Total fixed cost is $2,128,500.
Required:
1. What is the sales mix of portable grills to stationary grills to smokers?
2. Compute the break-even quantity of each product.
Answer:
1.
Sales mix
Portable grills = 20000/75000 = 4/15 or 26.67%
Stationary grills = 50000/75000 = 2/3 or 66.67%
Smokers = 5000/75000 = 1/15 or 6.67%
2.
Break even in units
Overall = 2128500 / 66 = 32250 units
Portable = 32250 * 4/15 = 8600
Stationary = 32250 * 2/3 = 21500
Smokers = 32250 * 1/15 = 2150
Explanation:
1.
The sales mix is the proportion of sales in units that each product holds in the in relation to the total overall sales in units of all products. The sales mix is calculated as follows,
Sales mix proportion of Product A = Sales in units Product A/Total number of sales in units of all products
The total number of sales in units of all products is,
Total sales in units = 20000 + 50000 + 5000 = 75000 units
Sales mix
Portable grills = 20000/75000 = 4/15 or 26.67%
Stationary grills = 50000/75000 = 2/3 or 66.67%
Smokers = 5000/75000 = 1/15 or 6.67%
2.
We will compute the overall break even point in units in then divide it according to the sales mix to calculate the break even in units of each product.
To calculate the overall break even in units, we need to determine the weighted average contribution per unit.
Weighted average contribution per unit = 4/15 * (90 - 45) + 2/3 * (200 - 130) + 1/15 * (250 - 140)
Weighted average contribution per unit = 66
Break even in units
Overall = 2128500 / 66 = 32250 units
Portable = 32250 * 4/15 = 8600
Stationary = 32250 * 2/3 = 21500
Smokers = 32250 * 1/15 = 2150

Sag manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The contribution margin ratio is 20%
The question is incomplete. The following is the complete question.
Sag Manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The contribution margin ratio is 20%. If Sweet will break even at this level of sales, what are the fixed costs?
Answer:
Fixed costs are $480000
Explanation:
The break even sales is the value of total sales or total revenue where it equals total cost and the company makes no profit or no loss. The break even in sales is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio.
Break even in sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Plugging in the available values we can calculate the value of fixed cost. We know that the break even in units is at 400000 units. Thus, its value in sale will be 400000 * 6 = 2400000
2400000 = Fixed cost / 0.2
2400000 * 0.2 = Fixed cost
Fixed costs = $480000

Assuming all other factors remain constant, if variable cost per unit increases, then the break-even point will:
Answer:
The break-even point in units increases.
Explanation:
The break-even point in units is the number of units required to cover for the fixed costs. In this sales level, the net income is zero.
To calculate the break-even point in units, you need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable cost)
If the unitary variable cost increases, the contribution margin per unit decreases. Therefore, now you need to sell more units to cover for the fixed costs. The break-even point in units increases.

All automobile makers around the world are in the same strategic group because they manufacture automobiles.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
The answer is False.
Explanation:
False, all automobile maker of the world does not form the same strategic group on the basis of manufacturing the automobiles because the strategic group refers to the process to follow the same strategy. Since all around the world different automobile maker work in different economies with a different set of strategies that varies according to the economic situations. For example, the strategy to work in a developed economy will be different from the developing economy. Therefore, all automobile makers will not follow the same strategy so it will not be in the same strategic group.
When you take your first job, you decide to start saving right away for your retirement. You put $5,000 per year into a saving plan, which interest rate 10% per year. Five years later, you move to another job and stop making contributions to the saving plan. If the first plan continued to earn interest for another 35 years, determine the future worth in year 40.
Answer:
FV= $857,840.94
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
First investment:
Annual deposit= $5,000 per year
Interest rate= 10%
Number of years= 5
Second investment:
Number of years= 35
Interest rate= 10%
Lumpsum= first investment
First, we need to calculate the future value of the first investment. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {5,000*[(1.1^5) - 1]} / 0.10
FV= $30,525.5
Now, the future value of the second investment.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 30,525.5*(1.1^35)
FV= $857,840.94

24. You have saved $4,000 for a down payment on a new car. The largest monthly payment you can afford is $350. The loan will have a 12% APR based on end-of-month payments. What is the most expensive car you can afford if you finance it for 48 months
Answer:
The most expensive car can be afforded is = $17290.89
Explanation:
The down payment of a new car = $4000
The mothly payment (annuity ) = $350
Interest rate on the rate = 12% = 12% / 12 per month.
Now we have to calculate the most expensive car that can be afforded with the finance time of 48 months.
Below is the calculation:
[tex]Present \ value = annuity \times \left [ \frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} \right ] \\= 350 \times \left [ \frac{1-(1+ 0.01)^{-48}}{0.01} \right ] \\= 13290.89 \\[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total value of car} = savings + present \ value \\= 4000 + 13290.89 \\= 17290.89[/tex]

Suppose a five-year, $ 1 comma 000 bond with annual coupons has a price of $ 902.86 and a yield to maturity of 5.7 %. What is the bond's coupon rate?
Answer:
The coupon rate is 3.41%
Explanation:
The price of a bond is calculated as the present value of the annuity payments of its interest plus the present value of the face value of the bond. The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.
As the bond is an annual coupon paying bond, we determine the following,
r = 5.7%
n = 5 years or 5
The C or coupon payment is unknown. Let x be the coupon rate paid by the bond. Then C or coupon payment is 1000 * x or 1000x.
We know the current price of the bond. Thus putting in the available values for all the variables, we can calculate the value of x which is the coupon rate.
902.86 = 1000x * [(1 - (1+0.057)^-5) / 0.057] + 1000 / (1+0.057)^5
902.86 = 1000x * (4.246965615) + 757.92296
902.86 - 757.92296 = 4246.965615x
144.93704 / 4246.965615 = x
x = 0.03412 or 3.412% rounded off to 3.41%

b. It never affects innovation of the final product.
c.It has no impact on the production lines in the home country.
d. It always lowers the quality of the final product.
e. It always increases the cost of the final product.
Answer:
A. It potentially results in better products for the customer.
Explanation:
When components for the production of a good are imported from other continent, such could potentially results in better products for the customer because most often than not, the exporting country has superior knowledge base in terms of manufacturing these component parts which can be utilized by the importing country.
Moreover, companies import components for various reasons; either to reduce or save cost or they found superior materials somewhere else . Where they found superior materials in in other continent, then the chances of making good or better product is high because of these superior components.
Also, one of the gains in globalization is that one can source for materials or components in other continent for products that can be made locally with high quality and value.

To record the depreciation expense for the year.
Debit Impairment Expense - Patent Rights $25,200
Credit Accumulated Impairment- Patent Rights $25,200
To write down the book value to zero.
Explanation:
a) Depreciation / Impairment Expenses:
1) Storage Shed = $8,400 ($87,000 + 3,000 - 6,000) / 10
2) Pickup Truck = $7,000 ($39,000 - 4,000) / 5
for 2015 = $5,250 ($7,000 x 9/12)
3) Patent Rights = $5,600 ($28,000/5)
for 2015 = $5,600 /2 = $2,800
4) Truck for 2016: $7,000/2 = $3,500
5) Depreciation is an accounting method for expensing the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life. It is based on estimate and there are many methods for estimating the depreciation expense for the various fixed assets.
6) Impairment is like depreciation as a method for expensing cost of an asset. The difference is that while depreciation is used for tangible non-current assets, impairment is for intangible non-current assets. Another difference is that impairment is determined at the end of the period when the asset is checked for impairment based on fair value.
An evaluation in which the performance level of employees is measured against established standards to make decisions about promotions, compensation, additional training, or termination is called an A. employment assessment. B. a performance appraisal. C. a job specification. D. a job analysis.
Answer:
B. a performance appraisal
Explanation:
A performance appraisal is the regular review of an employee's performance to analyze his level of personal development and contribution to the progress of the company. Companies carry out a performance appraisal so as to know which employees are deserving of a pay raise, salary cut, promotion, more training, and even termination of the job in cases where the employee's performance is way below acceptable standards. Some types of performance appraisal include;
1. The 360-degree feedback appraisal where opinions about the employee's performance are sourced from the employee's subordinates, his peers, and seniors in the organization.
2. Peer assessment where opinions about the employee's performance are gotten from his peers.
3. Self-assessment where the employee gives his own personal opinion about his performance level.
Acme Manufacturing Corporation pays an annual dividend rate of 11.40% on its preferred stock that currently returns 15.28% and has a par value of $100.00 per share. What is the value of Acme’s preferred stock?
Answer:
The value of Acme’s preferred stock is $74.61
Explanation:
Dividend = 11.40% * $100
Dividend = $11 .40
Return =
Value of stock = Dividend / Return
Value of preferred stock = $11.40 / 15.28%
Value of preferred stock = $74.60732
Value of preferred stock = $74.61
The correlation between the fund returns is 0.1560. What is the expected return and standard deviation for the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds?
Answer:
The answer is given below
Explanation:
The question is not complete. Given that:
[tex]E(r_s)=11\%,E(r_b)=8\%, \sigma(r_s)=33\%,\sigma(r_b)=25\%[/tex], ρ = 0.1560
From the covariance matrix, Cov (B, S) = [tex]\rho*\sigma_b*\sigma_s=0..1560*33*25=128.7[/tex]
The minimum-variance portfolio is gotten using the formula:
[tex]w_{min}(S)=\frac{\sigma_B^2-Cov(B,S)}{\sigma_S^2+\sigma_B^2-2Cov(B,S)}=\frac{(25^2)-128.7}{33^2+25^2-2(128.7)}=\frac{625-128.7}{225+1089-257.4}=0.4697\\\\w_{min}(B)=\frac{\sigma_S^2-Cov(B,S)}{\sigma_S^2+\sigma_B^2-2Cov(B,S)}=\frac{(33^2)-128.7}{33^2+25^2-2(128.7)}=\frac{1089-128.7}{225+1089-257.4}=0.9089[/tex]
the expected return for the minimum-variance portfolio is:
[tex]E(r_{min})=w_{min}S*E(r_s)+w_{min}B*E(r_b)=11*0.4697+0.9089*8=12.44\%[/tex]
the standard deviation for the minimum-variance portfolio is:
[tex]\sigma_{min}=[w_S^2\sigma_s^2+w_B^2\sigma_B^2+2w_Bw_SCov(B,S)]^\frac{1}{2} =[0.4687^2*33^2+0.9089^2*25^2+2*0.9089*0.4687*128.7]^\frac{1}{2}=29.41\%[/tex]
Voltanis Corp. has preferred stock outstanding that will pay an annual dividend of $3.81 every year in perpetuity. If the stock currently sells for $98.31 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
3.9%
Explanation:
Annual dividend = $3.81
Current stock = $98.31 per share
Required return is the return on the investment which has been made by the shareholders of the company.
The Required return is calculated by the using the formula below:
Expected dividend per share divided by the Price per share
= 3.81 divided by 98.31
= 0.03875 x 100
= 3.9% after rounding up
A company has net income of $199,000, a profit margin of 9.50 percent, and an accounts receivable balance of $106,108. Assuming 74 percent of sales are on credit, what is the company's days' sales in receivables
Answer:
Receivables days = 25 days
Explanation:
The receivable days is the average length of time it takes a business to receive cash from customers in respect of credit sales made.
It is calculated as follows:
Receivables days = Receivables / Credit sales × 365 days.
The credit sales is missing , hence we need to work it out as follows:
Net income =profit margin × total sales revenue
let sales value be represented by "y"
199,000 = 9.50% × y
y = 199,000/0.095
y= 2,094,736.84
Total sales revenue = 2,094,736.84
Credit sales = 74% × total sales revenue
= 74% × 2,094,736.84=1,550,105.263
Receivables days =106,108/1,550,105.26× 365 days= 24.98
Receivables days = 25 days
