Answer:
c. Optimum replacement interval (ORI)
Explanation:
Optimum replacement interval used to estimate the most cost effective time to replace an asset on the basis of their replacement cost.
There needs to be a balance between the replacement cost and the value that is being lost by changing the asset.
The useful value must be low to justify replacement cost.
For example if the cost of maintaining a machine has increased a lot as a result of wear and tear, it will be more cost effective to make a replacement in order to minimise cost and increase efficiency

How important is structure/culture compared to the other primary internal considerations for a strategic plan?
Explanation:
The organizational structure and culture are essential for the design of a strategic plan aligned with the organization's purpose.
What happens is that the structure and culture of an organization constitute its identity, its way of organizing itself and creating an environment designed to obtain the objectives and goals stipulated by strategic planning. So it can be said that there is no way to develop a strategic plan without considering the structure or culture, because it is through these two variables that action plans are developed and modeled according to what the company is, and what it plans to be in the future. All organizational systems must be foreseen in the planning and be developed with the same degree of importance, because together they form the organizational whole that will lead a company to be well positioned in the market, achieve continuous improvement in its processes, achieve competitive advantage in the market, etc.
Structure and culture are the pillars upon which the business organizes its operational activities to get a smooth flow in these different activities.
What is the importance of structure/culture in a strategic plan?The structure defines communication and reporting relationships while culture defines business norms to be followed. It is essential for strategic planning as it helps to develop a competitive edge for the business that would measure its growth.
Therefore, it generates foundations for bringing change and flexibility in the business for achieving improvement in its processes.

If income increases by $100 and consumption increases by $75, the slope of the consumption function equals _____.
Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume mpc, is the slope of the consumption function and it is what this question requires us to find
We have income increase to be = 100 dollars

Blossom provides environmentally friendly lawn services for homeowners. Its operating costs are as follows.
Depreciation $1,400 per month
Advertising $200 per month
Insurance $3,680 per month
Weed and feed materials $13 per lawn
Direct labor $16 per lawn
Fuel $3 per lawn
Blossom charges $80 per treatment for the average single-family lawn.
Required:
Determine the company.
Answer:
Break-even point = 110 lawns & Break-even sales point = $8,800
Explanation:
Total fixed costs = Depreciation + Advertising + Insurance
Total fixed costs = 1,400 + 200 + 3,680
Total fixed costs = $5280/month
Total variable cost per unit = Weed + Direct labor + Fuel
Total variable cost per unit = 13 + 16 + 3
Total variable cost per unit = $32/lawn
Contribution margin ratio = (Sales per unit - variable cost per unit) / sales per unit
Contribution margin ratio = (80 - 32) / 80
Contribution margin ratio = 0.6
Contribution margin ratio = 60%
Break-even sales = Fixed costs / contribution margin ratio
Break-even sales = $5280 / 60%
Break-even sales = $8800
Break-even sales units = Break-even sales / sales per unit
Break-even sales units = 8800 / 80
Break-even sales units = 110 lawns
Break-even point = 110 lawns & Break-even sales point = $8,800

Equipment was purchased for $50,000. At that time, the equipment was expected to be used eight years and have a residual value of $10,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. At the beginning of the third year, the company changed its estimated useful life to a total of six years (four years remaining) and the residual value to $8,000. What is depreciation expense in the third year?
a. $8,000.
b. $5,000.
c. $7,000.
d. $5,500.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $8,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation for the first two years:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (50,000 - 10,000) / 8
Annual depreciation= $5,000
Accumulated depreciation= 5,000*2= $10,000
Now, we can calculate the new depreciation expense:
Annual depreciation= [(50,000 - 10,000) - 8,000]/4
Annual depreciation= $8,000
A $1,000 par bond with a semi-annual coupon and 12 years to maturity is currently priced $880 and has a yield to maturity of 5.37%. What is the bonds coupon rate
Answer:
Annual Coupon rate = 0.040005 or 4.0005% rounded off to 4.00%
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,
Coupon Payment (C) = C
Total periods (n) = 12 * 2 = 24
r or YTM = 0.0537 * 6/12 = 0.02685 or 2.685%%
The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.
We will first calculate the value of semi coupon payment made by the bond.
880 = C * [( 1 - (1+0.02685)^-24) / 0.02685] + 1000 / (1+0.02685)^24
880 = C * 17.52482779 + 529.4583737
880 - 529.4583737 = C * 17.52482779
350.5416263 / 17.52482779 = C
C = 20.0025718 rounded off to 20.00
The annual coupon payment will be = 20.0025718 * 2 = 40.00514361 rounded off to 40.01
Annual Coupon rate = 40.00514361 / 1000 = 0.040005 or 4.0005% rounded off to 4.00%
Explain the distinction between current and long-term assets pertaining to IBM computers and the investments in equity securities.

One example of consumers not knowing what they want is that, before purchase, consumers want products with many features, but after purchase consumers are more satisfied with products with fewer features. This is called:________
a. Feature frustration
b. Feature regret
c. Feature Fatigue
d. Feature apprehension
Answer:
c. Feature Fatigue
Explanation:
Feature fatigue is defined as the phenomenon where consumers are satisfied with buying products that are simple and easy to use as opposed to feature-rich products.
The various reasons consumers avoid feature-rich products are:
- Less quality due to rushed production to input many features
- Reduced usability of features. When features of a good are not used they tend to confuse user and sometimes reduce efficiency of use.
- Lack of understanding of complex features
- More stability of products with less features

The long-term trend only Least-Squares Regression Model is the same as a simple linear regression with time (t) as the independent variable and our time series (Yt) as the dependent variable.
a. True
b. False
Answer: a. True
Explanation:
The simple linear regression model is;
y = mx + c
Where,
y = dependent variable
m is the slope
x is the independent variable
c is the y- intercept
The long-term trend only Least-Squares Regression Model also follows the same format except y becomes Yt and x becomes t.
The long-term trend only Least-Squares Regression Model is therefore the same as a simple linear regression only with different variable terms.
Fowler, Inc., just paid a dividend of $2.55 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 3.9 percent per year, indefinitely. If investors require a return of 10.4 percent on this stock, what is the current price
Answer:
The current price of the stock is $40.76
Explanation:
The computation of the current price is shown below:
Current price is
= Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= ($2.55 × (1 + 0.039) ÷ (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $2.6495 ÷ (0.104 - 0.039)
= $2.6495 ÷ 0.065
= $40.76
Hence, the current price of the stock is $40.76
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Elite Trailer Parks has an operating profit of $251,000. Interest expense for the year was $33,900; preferred dividends paid were $30,100; and common dividends paid were $44,700. The tax was $68,100. The firm has 25,700 shares of common stock outstanding.
Required:
a. Calculate the earnings per share and the common dividends per share for Elite Trailer Parks. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
b. What was the increase in retained earnings for the year?
Answer:
EBIT = $251,000
interest expense = $33,900
taxes = $68,100
net income = $251,000 - $33,900 - $68,100 = $149,000
preferred dividends = $30,100
total stocks outstanding = 25,700
common dividends = $44,700
a) EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / outstanding common stocks = ($149,000 - $30,100) / 25,700 = $4.63 per share
commons dividends per share = common dividends / outstanding common stocks = $44,700 / 25,700 = $1.74
b) retained earnings increase = net income - preferred dividends - common dividends = $149,000 - $30,100 - $44,700 = $74,200
Over time, consumers have less of a need for a broad product offering. How does this shift in preferences alter the desirability of make-to-stock production relative to make-to-order production?1. It increases it, i.e., make-to-stock becomes more desirable.2. It has no impact.3. It decreases it. i.e., make-to-stock becomes less desirable.4. We cannot determine from the given information.
Answer:
Over time, consumers have less of a need for a broad product offering. How does this shift in preferences alter the desirability of make-to-stock production relative to make-to-order production?
3. It decreases it. i.e., make-to-stock becomes less desirable.
Explanation:
Given the above scenario, there will be no need for a company to produce goods that will be stored. Instead, it will wait to receive orders before it commences production of any goods. This is caused by the shift in preferences "consumers have less of a need for a broad product offering." This means that make-to-order will be highly prioritized while reducing or eliminating make-to-stock production facilities.
