United Parcel Service, Inc. (Ticker: UPS (Links to an external site.)) estimates its cost for a distribution center at $18.63 million. Management has decided to invest $1.1 million a quarter to fund the project. Assuming that the firm can earn a return of 6.25 percent, compounded quarterly, on its savings, how long does the firm have to wait before expanding its operations

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 182.44 quarters to reach $18,630,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= $18,630,000

Initial Investment= $1,100,000

Interest rate= 0.0625/4= 0.01563

To calculate the time required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)

n= ln(18,630,000 / 1,100,000) / ln (1.01563)

n= 182,44

It will take 182.44 quarters to reach $18,630,000.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - $4,000 for 2018 and 7,500 for 2019 Calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = 11.50 times

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio  is calculated using

Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

Net Credit Sales for 2019 =  $1,032,000

Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 = Accounts Receivable in 2018 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2018

= $84,000 - $4,000

= $80,000

Net Accounts Receivable in 2019 = Accounts Receivable in 2019 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in 2019

= $107,000 - $7,500

= $99,500

Average Accounts Receivable = (Net Accounts Receivable in 2018 + Net Accounts Receivable in 2019) / 2

= ($80,000 + $99,500) / 2

= $179,500 / 2

= $89,750

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales in 2019 / Average Accounts Receivable

=   $1,032,000/ $89,750

= 11.498

= 11.50 times

How do you think Alden, from Situation 2, found out about Revinate? Given all the online companies that might help your business connect you with customers, how would you choose one?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the proper context of the question or further references, we can comment on the following.

Alden found out about Revinate by searching on the web trying to find the best software options that could help the company to identify the customer's reviews so Gregory E. Alden could make the best decisions for his company.

Gregory E. Alden is the manager of the company Woodside Hotels, located in Northern California. He was trying to monitor the comments of his high-class clients because Woodside Hotels is in the luxurious hotel business. So knowing that constantly monitoring client's comments on social media pages such as TripAdvisor or Yelp can be an arduous and difficult task, Gregory searched for the best software company to monitor client's comments on social media. That is how he found Revinate, a company that helps managers to track reviews so they can make the best business decisions once they have learned what their customers desire. And that is exactly what I would do to choose the kind of company to know about the preferences of my customers.

There will also be $250,000 in out-of-pocket costs to the corporation. a. Compute the net proceeds to the Presley Corporation. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Missing question is "a. Compute the net proceeds to the Presley Corporation. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) Net proceeds

b. Compute the earnings per share immediately before the stock issue. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Earnings per share

c. Compute the earnings per share immediately after the stock issue. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Earnings per share "

a. Net proceeds = Shares issued * Share price*(1-0.04) - Direct cost

Net proceeds = 500,000 * $25*(1-0.04) - $250,000

Net proceeds = 500,000*$24  - $250,000

Net proceeds = $12,000,000 - $250,000

Net proceeds = $11,750,000

b. EPS = Earnings / Shares

EPS = $7,000,000 / 2,000,000 shares

EPS = $3.50 per share

c. EPS = After tax earnings / Total shares

EPS = $7,000,000 / (2,000,000 + 500,000)

EPS = $7,000,000 / 2,500,000 shares

EPS = $2.80 per shares

Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:

As  We know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory

And, the

Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold

So,

$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold

Therefore, the cost of goods sold is

= $107,000 - $32,100

= $74,900

And, finally the ending inventory is

$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory

$74,900 = $91,400  - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory is

= $91,400 - $74,900

= $16,500

Requirement b. Buy from Tijuana

Y=1000-20-50=930  

U=ln(930)=2.97

Requirement c.

p(1000-20-50)=(1-p)(1000-200)

930p=800-800p

p=0.46

Requirement d. expected income from buying in tijuana:

=0.6(1000-60-50)+0.4(1000-20-50)

=534+372

=906 > 800(income from buying online)

So buy from tijuana

Which of the following is an example of an automatic stabilizer? Governments debate implementing tax cuts when the economy is in a recession. Spending on unemployment benefits falls when the economy enters a recession. Low-income households lose their food stamp benefits when unemployment rises. The amount of tax revenues collected rises when an economy is booming.

Answers

Answer:

D. The amount of tax revenues collected rises when an economy is booming.

Explanation:

Automatic stabilizers can be defined as changes in government spending or taxes and consequently, raises aggregate demand without the intervention of policy makers when an economy falls into recession.

In Economics, it is also referred to as built-in stability and this means that with given tax rates and expenditures policies such as fiscal and monetary policy; an increase in domestic income will reduce a budget deficit or produce a budget surplus, while a decline in income will result in a deficit or a lower budget surplus.

Hence, an automatic stabilizer is an economic system or policies that automatically shore up or strengthen the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) without specific government intervention for sustenance or creation of stability in the economic cycle of a country.

An example of an automatic stabilizer is the amount of tax revenues collected rises when an economy is booming. Also, personal and corporate income tax usually decline in the event of recession in a country because individuals and business owners or entities make less, thus leading to unemployment and an increase in social security funds or welfare.

Troy, a cash basis taxpayer, owns an office building. His records reflect the following for 20X1. On March 1, 20X1, office B was leased for twelve months for $12,000. A $900 security deposit was received which will be used as the last month's rent. On September 30, 20X1, the tenant in office A paid Troy $3,600 to cancel the lease expiring on March 31, 20X1. The lease of the tenant in office C expired on December 31, 20X1, and the tenant left improvements valued at $1,400. The improvements were not in lieu of any required rent. Considering just these four amounts, what amount must Troy include in rental income on his income tax return for 20X1?
a. $17,900
b. $17,000
c. $16,500
d. $13,800

Answers

Answer:

c. $16,500

Explanation:

The rental revenue from office B must be included even though 3 months of rent belong to 20x2 = $12,000 + the $900 security deposit (last moth of rent). The $3,600 received for canceling the lease of office A should also be included. Total rental income = $12,000 + $900 + $3,600 = $16,500.

Cash basis taxpayers recognize revenue when they collect money, and recognize expenses when they pay for them. There are some exceptions that apply to prepaid expenses or unearned revenue. This is known as the 12 month rule. It means that if the cash collection or payment do not extend for more than 12 months after they were made, then they can be recorded as either revenues or expenses during the current period. Since the rent was prepaid in advance for 12 months, then all the cash received must be considered revenue.

Diego Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value as required by IFRS. Diego has the following information regarding its inventory. Historical cost $100,000 Estimated selling price 98,000 Estimated costs to complete and sell 3,000 Replacement cost 90,000 What is the amount for inventory that Diego should report on the balance sheet under the lower of cost or net realizable value method

Answers

Answer:

$95,000

Explanation:

When a company reports its ending inventory at lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV), it must value its inventory at whichever is lower:

historical cost = $100,000net realizable value = selling price - estimated costs to complete and sell = $98,000 - $3,000 = $95,000

since $95,000 is lower, then the company will report its inventory at net realizable value.

"The fund is earning a low, but safe, 3% per year. The withdrawals will take place annually starting today. How soon will the fund be exhausted if Debbie withdraws $40,000 each year?"

Answers

Answer:

The question is missing the amount that Debbie's fund has, so I looked for similar questions and the number I found was $368,882.

we can use the present value of an annuity due formula to determine how long it will take Debbie to empty her account.

present value of annuity due = (payment / i) x {1 - [1 / (1 + i)ⁿ]} x (1 + i)

368,882 = (40,000 / 0.03) x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]} x (1 + 0.03)

368,882 = 1,333,333.33 x 1.03 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}

368,882 = 1,373,333.33 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 0.03)ⁿ]}

1 - [1 / (1.03)ⁿ] = 368,882 / 1,373,333.33 = 0.268603398

1 - 0.268603398 = [1 / (1.03)ⁿ]

0.731396601 = 1 / (1.03)ⁿ

1.03ⁿ = 1 / 0.731396601 = 1.367247261

n = log 1.367247261 / log 1.03 = 0.135847062 / 0.012837224 = 10.58 years

Debbie will exhaust the fund in 10.58 years. That means that Debbie will be able to withdraw $40,000 for 10 years, and then the last withdrawal will be lower.

Explanation:

CEOs are limited in making policy changes regarding climate change by all of the following EXCEPT __________.

Answers

Answer: b. the necessity to think in the long term rather than the short term

Explanation:

There are policy changes that a company can make that will result in them having lower profits. For this reason, the CEO might face opposition or limitations from certain people or principles in implementing such changes.

The Board of Directors is one such limitation as they owe it to the shareholders to maximise their wealth and if climate change policy might hinder that, they might limit the policy. This reason is the same for any limitation from investor support which is linked directly to profits.

The CEO also has the same fiduciary responsibility to maximise shareholder wealth as well. The only option which is not a limiting factor therefore is the necessity to think in the long term rather than the short term.

Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,500 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,300. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $113,000 and receive $21,300 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,300 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:

Answers

Answer:

($18,500)

Explanation:

Book value of manufacturing equipment = $36,500

Current market value of equipment = $21,300

Cost of new machine = $113,000

Cash received from trading old machine = $21,300

Variable manufacturing costs of new machine reduced by $18,300 per year, over the four year

Total increase/decrease in net income = Cost of new machine + Cash received from trading old machine + Reduction in variable manufacturing costs

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $18,300 × 4

= ($113,000) + $21,300 + $73,200

= ($18,500)

It therefore means that the total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine is $18,500

The amount associated with the free parking that Tim must include in his gross income per month is?

Answers

Answer:

$80 (in 2020)

Explanation:

I will assume that this question takes place during the current year (2020). An employee is required to include as income all transportation benefits that exceed $270 per month. In this case, free parking is considered a transportation benefit and Tim must report $350 - $270 = $80 as taxable benefits. The exclusion amount varies depending on the year, e.g. it was $265 in 2019.

The amount that should be included in the gross income per month should be $80.

Calculation of the amount:

The employee should needed to involved the income in terms of transportation benefits that should be more than $270 per month. Since the free parking should be considered as the  transportation benefit

So here the amount associated should be

= $350 - $270

= $80

hence, The amount that should be included in the gross income per month should be $80.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate direct materials purchased.

Direct materials purchased for the year = Candle wax [ 487,125 pounds × $1.24 per pound]

= $604,035

Also,

Direct labor cost budget for the year

= [ 785,000 candles × 6 minutes / 60 mins per hour × $18 per hour]

= $1,413,000

Therefore,

Costs of goods sold budget

Direct materials

Opening inventory on 1 January [16,000 pounds × $1.24 per pound] = $19,840

Add: purchases

$604,035

Less: closing inventory on 31 January [12,500 pounds × $1.24 per pound] = ($15,500)

Cost of direct materials in production = $608,375

Direct labor cost

$1,413,000

Fixed overheads cost

$300,000

Opening work in progress inventory on 1 January

$41,250

Less: closing work in progress inventory on 31, January

($28,500)

Total work in progress during the period

$12,750

Opening finished goods on 1 January

$200,000

Less closing finished goods

($120,000)

$80,000

Cost of goods sold = $608,375 + $1,413,000 + $300,000 - $80,000 - $12,750

Revenues and gains included in arriving at net income that do not provide cash.

Answers

Answer:

Non-cash revenues.

Explanation:

Non-cash revenues can be defined as revenues and gains included in arriving at net income that do not provide cash.

Basically, on the statement of cash-flow, non-cash revenues are considered not to be a real cash-flow because they don't add to the total inflow of cash.

Some examples of noncash revenues are amortization of premium relating to bonds payable, cash flow from investments that are carried under the equity method, accrued revenues, and gains from disposals of non-current assets.

Target return pricing is a pricing method that uses a very simple formula:

target price = [unit cost + (desired return x capital)] /unit sales

The price is based on the ROI that the company expects from a certain product (or project).

Even though this is a fairly simple method for pricing a good or service, it can also have serious negative consequences:

it doesn't take in account consumers' tastes or preferenceswhat happens if the expected ROI is too high, that could kill a project that could have been successful otherwisethe time frames are not always exact, e.g. you believed that a project would last 5 years, but due to a technological breakthrough it only lasts 4

In order to successfully apply this type of pricing strategy, a company must be able to achieve or exceed their sales goals.

For a country A, the GDP growth rate is 8 percent and inflation is 4 percent. If the velocity of money remains constant, what is the change in real money balances

Answers

Answer:

The change in the real money balance is 12%

Explanation:

As per gievn data

GDP growth rate = 8%

Inflation = 4%

The real money change is as follow

Equation

Delta M + Delta V = Delta P + Delta Y

Where

Delta M = Real money change = ?

Delta V = Change in velocity = 0

Delta P = Inflation rate = 4%

Delta Y = GDP growth rate = 8%

Placing values in the above equation

Delta M + 0 = 4% + 8%

Delta M = 12%

Hence the money balance will increase by 12%.

For most consumers, maximizing utility through consumption generally means finding good deals in order to maximize the utility received for each dollar spent. However, some makers of luxury goods believe that their customers actually achieve utility by paying high prices. As a result, lowering prices may lead to reduced sales for the makers of luxury goods. How is this counterintuitive concept rationalized by analysis of consumer behavior and the utility maximization rule

Answers

Answer:

The explanation of that situation is below.

Explanation:

To begin with, the most important factor to have in mind in the situation explained above is the fact that we are talking about a "luxury good" and therefore that when it comes to this type of goods is better when the majority of the people do not possess or at least they must represent the fact that they are exclusive for only some part of the population. That is why that those goods use the strategy of increase always the price because that will means that they are not affordable for the majority of the society but only for a few and that will give to the owner of the good a sense of uniqueness and with that it also comes the sense of superiority. That is why that when it comes to this type of good the analysis change and it collides with the other theory of utility maximation.

How much must you deposit in a bank account today to have $1,000 at the end of 5 years if the bank quotes a rate of 5%, compounded daily? Assume a 365-day year and round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

PV= $774.54

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value= $1,000

Number of periods= 5*365= 1,825 days

Interest rate= 0.05/365= 0.00014

To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV / (1+i)^n

PV= 1,000 / (1.00014^1,825)

PV= $774.54

Crispy Breakfast places a coupon in each box of its cereal product. Customers may send in five coupons and $3, and the company will send them a recipe book. Sufficient books were purchased at a cost of $5 each. A total of 500,000 boxes of product were sold in the current year. It was estimated that 4% of the coupons would be redeemed. During current year, 9,000 coupons were redeemed. What is Crispy's premium expense for 2013

Answers

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

premium expense = [(500,000 x 4%) / 5] x ($5 - $3) = 4,000 x $2 = $8,000

the journal entry to record this:

Dr Premium expense 8,000

    Cr Estimated premium claims outstanding 8,000

Since the customers must send 5 coupons + $3 in order to get the free recipe book, the actual cost per recipe book = $5 - $3 = $2 per book

in total, the company estimates that 20,000 coupons will be redeemed, but you need 5 coupons per book, so that mean that 4,000 recipe books are expected to be handed out.
