Complete question:
Varto Company has 11,800 units of its sole product in inventory that it produced last year at a cost of $24 each. This year’s model is superior to last year’s and the 11,800 units cannot be sold at last year’s regular selling price of $55 each. Varto has two alternatives for these items:
(1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $9 each, or
(2) they can be reworked at a cost of $220,000 and then sold for $27 each. Prepare an analysis to determine whether Varto should sell the products as is or rework them and then sell them.
Answer:
Varto company should not process further, they should sell it as it is.
Explanation:
Given:
For last year:
Product quantity = 11800
Cost = $24 each
For this year, the model is superior to last year's model and they can't be sold for the same price.
Required:
Prepare an analysis to determine whether Varto should sell the products as is or rework them and then sell them.
Analysis is prepared below:
INCREMENTAL REVENUE AND COST OF ADDITIONAL PROCESSING
Revenue if processed further: (11800*$27) 318600
Revenue if sold as it is: (11800*$9) 106200
Incremental revenue: (318600-106200) 212400
Further processing cost: 220000
Incremental net income: (220000-212400) 7600 (loss)
From the analysis above, Varto company should not process further, as they will make a loss of $7,600 if they process further.
NB: $24 manufacturing cost is sunk cost which makes it not needed.
Lew's increases its annual dividend by 2 percent annually. The last dividend paid was $1.42 and the stock price is $46. How is the expected rate of return computed
Answer:
Expected return=5.1%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return on the stock can be determined using the dividend valuation model
According to this model, the value of a stock is the sum of the present values of the future dividend that would arise from it discounted at the required rate of return.
Using this model,
Cost of equity (Ke) =( D(1+g)/P) + g
Div in year 0, P= ex-div market price, g= growth rate in dividend
For this question
Expected rate of return = (1.42×(1+0.02)/46 + 0.02= 5.1%
Expected return=5.1%
Units-of-Output DepreciationA tractor acquired at a cost of $420,000 has an estimated residual value of $30,000, has an estimated useful life of 25,000 hours, and was operated 1,850 hours during the year. Determine the following. If required, round your answer for the depreciation rate to two decimal places.(a) The depreciable cost $ (b) The depreciation rate $ per hour(c) The units-of-output depreciation for the year $
Answer:
a. $390,000
b. $15.6
c. $28,860
Explanation:
depreciable cost = cost of asset - salvage value = $420,000 - $30,000 = $390,000
(b) The depreciation rate $ per hour = depreciable cost / estimated useful life = $390,000 / 25,000 = $15.6
The units-of-output depreciation for the year = $15.6 x 1,850 hours = $28,860

Explanation:
A customer has a discretionary account at a brokerage firm. The customer calls the registered representative handling the account and states "Buy $50,000 of investment grade corporate bonds" with at least 5 years to maturity and a minimum 8% yield. To comply with the customer's instructions, the registered representative must choose bonds that are rated, at a minimum:
Answer: C. Ваa
Explanation:
Moody's is a Credit Rating company that rates Bonds. They have a classification scheme that works with letters with Aaa being the highest rated bonds there are. These are considered the least risky.
After grade Aaa there is grade A and then there is Grade Baa. Grade Baa is considered to be the lowest Investment Grade security there is so if the client asks for anything in investment grade bonds, the minimum rated bonds to buy have to be level Baa.
A risky portfolio pays a 15% rate of return with probability 60% in a good state or a 5% return with probability 40% in a bad state, and a T-bill pays 5%. The risk premium on the risky investment is
Answer:
The risk premium on the risky investment is 8%
Explanation:
The first portfolio pays 15% rate of return with probability 60% in a good
The second portfolio 5% return with probability 40% in a bad state
The risk port-folio expected return = 60% * 15% + 40% * 5%
Expected return = 0.6 * 15% + 0.4* 5%
Expected return = 0.09 + 0.02
Expected return = 0.11
Expected return = 11%
Risk premium on the risky investment = Expected return - Risk free rate
= 11% - 5%
= 8%
The risk premium on the risky investment is 8%

Your firm has net income of $260 on total sales of $1,160. Costs are $650 and depreciation is $110. The tax rate is 35 percent. The firm does not have interest expenses. What is the operating cash flow
Answer:
The answer is $650
Explanation:
Net income = $260
Total sales = $1,160
Costs = $650
Depreciation = $110
Earnings before Interest and tax(EBIT) =
Total sales - Cost - depreciation
$1,160 - $650 - $110
= $400
Tax =[260 ÷ (1 - 0.35)] - 260
$400 - $260
$140
Operating cash flow is therefore,
Earnings before Interest and tax(EBIT) + depreciation + tax
$400 + $110 + $140
= $650

On January 1, 2019, Woodstock, Inc. purchased a machine costing $37,850. Woodstock also paid $1,950 for transportation and installation. The expected useful life of the machine is 7 years and the residual value is $4,100. How much is the annual depreciation expense, assuming use of the straight-line depreciation method
Answer:
Annual depreciation expense=$5,100
Explanation:
Using the straight line method , an equal amount is charged as depreciation for each each over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Annual depreciation = (Cost - residual value)/Estimated number of years
Cost of the machine= 37,850 + 1,950 = 39,800
Annual depreciation expense= (39,800-4,100)/7= 5,100
Annual depreciation expense=$5,100

How can Growing Minds attract the best applicants for jobs at its new retail outlets? On what groups, if any, should the company’s recruiting efforts focus? How should the recruiting be done?
Answer:
Hi your question is incomplete here is the complete question
Growing Minds, Inc. is a national chain of retail outlets specializing in creative toys and innovative learning materials for children. The company caters to the upper end of the market and focuses on customer service for a competitive advantage. It provides workshops for parents and children on topics such as learning with the computer and indoor gardening and offers crafts classes ranging fropapier-mâché to pottery. Growing Minds plans to expand and to open five new retail outlets in the coming quarter. This may mean up to 200 new hires, and the executive team wants to make sure that the best people are hired and retained. It has issued a challenge to its retail management personnel to design a staffing process that will accomplish these goals. The children’s market in which Growing Minds operates demands service personnel who are endlessly patient; knowledgeable about children, toys, and learning; and, perhaps most important, sociable,enthusiastic, and engaging. Excellent customer service is the top priority at Growing Minds, and obtaining the desired performance from personnel has meant a major investment in training. Unfortunately, new workers often leave within a year of being hired. This means that the company barely gets an adequate return on the training it has invested in its new hires. Apparently, turnover is due (at least in part) to the demanding nature of the job. Recently, Growing Minds has been emphasizing the establishment of work teams to improve the quality of its services, identify and fix any problems in service delivery, and brainstorm new opportunities. This approach has yielded better-than-anticipated results, so the team concept will be central to the new outlets.

b. What is the company's days' sales in receivables? (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
c. How long did it take on average for credit customers to pay off their accounts during the past year? (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computations are as follows
a. For company receivable turnover
As we know it is
= Credit Sales ÷ current account receivable balance
= $2,940,600 ÷ $457,615
= 6.43 times
b.
Now
company's days' sales in receivables is
= 365 ÷ Receivables turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 6.43
= 56.77 days
c. Therefore the average collection period is the same as days sales in receivable i.e 56.77 days
An investor has sold short stock worth $20,000 in a margin account, depositing the Regulation T margin requirement. If the market value of the stock falls to $16,000, what is the Selling Power in the account
Answer:
The selling power in the account is $20,000.
Explanation:
Credit - Short market value = Equity %
Sale $20,000 $20,000
Margin $10,000 $10,000
Total $30,000 $20,000 $10,000 50%
If the market value falls to $16,000, the account will show;
Credit - Short market value = Equity %
$30,000 $16,000 $14,000
To support a $16,000 stock position at 50% margin, equity of $8,000 is required. Since the account has $14,000 of equity, the excess of $10,000 may be borrowed and it's the
SMA amount. With $10,000 of SMA amount, twice this amount may be purchased or sold short in other marginal securities.

Ella Funt would like to set up her retirement account that will begin in 30 years. To play it safe, she wants to assume that she will live forever and she will withdraw $120,000 annually. Assuming her account will earn 9% interest during the next 30 years and 6% interest afterwards forever, how much will Ella need to save annually over the next 30 years to fund her retirement account?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $14,672.70
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cf= $120,000
Period= forever
i= 0.06
First, we need to determine the present value of her investment at the retirement point. We will use the following formula for a perpetual annuity:
FV= Cf/i
FV= 120,000/0.06= $2,000,000
Now, we can calculate the annual deposit required to reach the objective:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= [2,000,000*0.09) / [(1.09^30) - 1]
A= $14,672.70
The amount that Ella need to save annually over the next 30 years to fund her retirement account is $14,672.70
Calculation of the annual deposit:First the future value is
= Withdraw amount / rate of interest
= 120,000/0.06
= $2,000,000
Now the annual deposit is
FV= {Annual deposit *[(1+interest rate)^number of years-1]}/interest rate
So,
A= [2,000,000*0.09) / [(1.09^30) - 1]
A= $14,672.70
Hence, we can conclude that The amount that Ella need to save annually over the next 30 years to fund her retirement account is $14,672.70

Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2006. The consumer price index was 177 in 2001 and 265.5 in 2006. Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars is
Answer:
Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars =$46,666.66
Explanation:
A rise in the price index implies inflation
Inflation is the increase in the general price level. Inflation erodes the value of money.
This price index is the weighted average price of a basket of goods and services consumed by a typical consumer. It is used to measure the rate of inflation.
So we can determine the salary in the base year value as follows:
2006 Salary in the base year terms=
CPI base year/CPI in the current year × salary in the current year
CPI base year- 177, CPI in the current yea- 256.5,
Salary in the current year - 70,000
Henri 2006 Salary in 2001 Dollar
=177/265.5 ×70,000/265.5 = 46,666.66
Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars =$46,666.66
A pharmaceutical company announces that it has received Federal Drug Administration approval for a new allergy drug that completely prevents hay fever. The consensus analyst forecast for the company’s earnings per share (EPS) is $4.50, but insiders know that, with this new drug, earnings will increase and drive the EPS to $5.00. What will happen when the company releases its next earnings report?
Answer:
stock price will not change at all
Explanation:
Based on the information provided it can be said that when the company releases its next earnings report the stock price will not change at all. This is because stock markets move fast, the stock price of EPS moved when the in the announcement about FDA approval was made. Therefore the markets already expect these changes to reflect on the earnings report so prices will not move. Just as the saying goes, "Buy the Rumor, Sell the news."
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
You have just taken out a $ 23 comma 000 car loan with a 4 % APR, compounded monthly. The loan is for five years. When you make your first payment in one month, how much of the payment will go toward the principal of the loan and how much will go toward interest? (Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal places.)
Answer:
Interest = $75.90
Principal = $347.64
Explanation:
First find the payment that is required per month. It will be an Annuity payment as the present value of the loan is given.
The loan is for 5 years compounded monthly so period is;
= 5 years * 12 months
= 60
Interest = 4/12
Present Value of Annuity= Payment * (1 - (1 + r) ^ -n)/r
23,000 = Payment * (1 - ( 1 + 4/12%) ^ -⁶⁰)/ 4/12%
23,000 = Payment * 54.304
Payment = 23,000/54.304
= $423.54
Interest Payment is;
= 4/12% * 23,000
= $75.90
Amount going towards Principal;
= 423.54 - 75.90
= $347.64
