what more, could starbucks have done, to maximize it's chances of success with laboulange​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It probably felt like the end of the line last year when Starbucks announced plans to close all 22 La Boulange pastry shops. This was the very same croissant-creating brand that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz once publicly praised as a key to boosting the quality of Starbucks baked goods.

But for La Boulange founder Pascal Rigo, the store closure wasn’t the end. It was a new beginning. At 56, Rigo is in the midst of making one of fast-casual’s most widely watched reinventions. In Humpty Dumpty-like fashion, he is gluing the broken pieces together again and has opened five stores in the San Francisco Bay Area—with two more on the way—under the name, La Boulangerie de San Francisco.

His grand plans: to reassemble La Boulangerie as a fast-casual powerhouse by opening up some 20 to 40 locations. He also plans to enlarge its 40,000-foot baked goods facility in San Francisco that attracts business from such high-profile retail clients as Costco and, reportedly, Trader Joe’s. While it may not be quite the magnitude of what Chipotle CEO Steve Ells accomplished after buying back Chipotle from McDonald’s, the guy who founded La Boulange has a nice chunk of it back from Starbucks.How is Starbucks diversifying itself by purchasing La Boulange? y increasing its product offerings to include bakery items. How does Starbucks' current market power increase its chances for success in expanding its product offerings to include bakery items?

Within four days of the catalog's mailing date, Acme had received phone orders for its entire inventory of trains. Paul Murrah, the sales manager responsible for the Silver Bullet, was delighted with the product's success. However, his excitement was overshadowed by the ____ cost resulting from lost sales that his division would suffer.

Answers

Answer:

Stock out

Explanation:

Stockout cost can be regarded as lost of income as well as expenses which is as a result of shortage of inventory.

These can come up in different vways such as

✓Sales-related way; instance of these is when there is an order been placed by a customer but inventory is not available to sell to him/her gross margin that is related to sale would be loss by the company.

✓Internal process-related; this is when there is no inventory for a production run when the company needs it, then cost will be incurred in getting it even on short notice.

You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises:
Debt: 9,300 6.5% coupon bonds outstanding, with 22 years to maturity and a quoted price of 104.75. These bonds have a par value of $1,000 and pay interest semi-annually.
Common stock: 240,000 shares of common stock selling for $64.80 per share. The stock has a beta of .93 and will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The dividend is expected to grow by 5.3 percent per year indefinitely.
Preferred stock: 8,300 shares of 4.65 percent preferred stock selling at $94.30 per share.
Market: 11.7% expected return, a risk-free rate of 3.75%, and a 23% tax rate.
Calculate the company's WACC.

Answers

Answer:

WACC is 8.19%

Explanation:

WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital is determined by multiplying capital source cost of both equity and debt by their relevant weight and then summing the results to identify the value using the formulae given below:

WACC = (E/V x Re) + [D/V x Rd x (1 - Tc)]

where:

E = Market Value of the firm's equity

D = Market Value of the firm's debt

V =  E + D

Re = Cost of Equity

Rd = Cost of Debt

Tc = Tax Rate

In the given question, we will first determine the cost of equity. As shown below:

Cost of Equity = Average of CAPM and Dividend Capitalisation Model

CAPM = Risk free rate of return + Beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

CAPM = 3.75 + 0.93 x (11.7 - 3.75)

CAPM = 11.14%

Dividend Capitalisation Model = Expected dividend net year / Current Price + Growth Rate

Dividend Capitalisation Model = 3 / 64.8 * 100 + 5.3

Dividend Capitalisation Model = 9.93%

Cost of Equity = 9.93 + 11.14 = 10.54%

Next is the cost of debt which would be calculated using YTM (Yield to maturity)

where:

Par Value = 1047.5

Face Value = 1000

Coupon rate = 6.5

Years to maturity = 22 years

Coupon Payment Frequency is semi annually.

The Cost of debt = 6.1%

After Tax it would be 4.7% [6.1% * (1 - 23%)]

Next, we will determine the rate of preferred stock before calculating the WACC.

Rate of preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current Price * 100

Rate of preferred stock = 4.65 / 94.3 * 100

Rate of preferred stock = 4.93%

Finally, we will calculate the Market Value (MV) of equity, debt and preferred stock. As shown below:

MV Equity = 240,000 x 64.8 = 15,552,000

MV Debt = 1047.5 x 9300 = 9,741,750

MV preferred stock = 8,300 x 94.3 = 782,690

Total = 26,076,440

WACC = (15,552,000 / 26,076,440 * 10.54%) + (9,741,750 / 26,076,440 * 4.7%) + (782,690 / 26,076,440 * 4.93%)

WACC = 6.28% + 1.76% + 0.15%

WACC = 8.19%

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently created a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:

Direct materials: 6 microns per toy at $1.50 per micron
Direct labor: 1.3 hours per toy at $21 per hour

During July, the company produced 3,000 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows: Direct materials: 25,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $1.48 per micron. 5,000 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 4,000 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $88,000.

Required:
Compute the variances for July.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the variance is shown below;

a) Material price variance is

= (Standard price - actual price) × actual quantity

= ($1.5 - $1.48) × 25000

= $500 F

b. Material quantity variance is

= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × Standard price

= (3000 × 6 - 20,000) × 1.5

= $3,000 U

c) Labor rate variance is

= (Standard rate - actual rate) × actual hours

= ($21 × 4000 - $88,000)

= $4,000 U

d.  Labor efficiency variance is

= (Standard hour - actual hour) × Standard rate

= (3000 × 1.3 - 4000) × 21

= $2,100 U

A certain company just announced it will cut next year's dividends from $4 to $2.50 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, the company's dividends were expected to grow at a 4% rate, and its share price was $50. With the planned expansion, the company's dividends are expected to grow at a 6% rate. What share price (in dollars) would you expect after the announcement

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $41.6666666  rounded off to  $41.67

Explanation:

The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year

g is the constant growth rate in dividends

r is the discount rate or required rate of return

We first need to calculate the required rate of return for this company based on the previous growth rate, dividend and current share price prior to announcement.

50 = 4 / (r - 0.04)

50 * (r - 0.04) = 4

50r - 2 = 4

50r = 4 + 2

r = 6 / 50

r = 0.12 or 12%

Now using the post announcement data, the new share price will be,

P0 = 2.5 / (0.12 - 0.06)

P0 = $41.6666666  rounded off to  $41.67

Harmon Inc, manufactures two products from a joint process, product A and product B. A standard production run incurs joint costs of $45,000 and results in 1,500 units of product A and 2,500 units of product B. Product A sells for $50.00 per unit and Product B sells for $20.00 per unit. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-ff point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to Product A and B using the physical measure method

Answers

Answer:

Harmon Inc.

Joint costs of $45,000 allocated to:

Product A = $16,875

Product B = $28,125

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Joint costs of a standard production run = $45,000

Joint products        Product A     Product B      Total

Production units       1,500            2,500          4,000

Selling price per unit  $50               $20

Allocation of joint costs based on physical measure method:

Product A = $16,875 (1,500/4,000 * $45,000)

Product B = $28,125 (2,500/4,000 * $45,000)

b) Joint costs of $45,000 were incurred by Product A and Product B jointly because they consumed the same resources during the production run.  These costs can be allocated to the products based on established criteria, for example, units of products and sales value.  The purpose is to properly account for the joint costs at split-off.

On November 1, Year One, a company is paid $12,000 in advance to do a job for a customer. The job has ten separate steps. The first four steps were completed in Year One and the remaining six steps were completed in Year Two. The accountant mistakenly believed that this was just one big job and recorded it in that fashion. However, each of the ten steps was really an individual job and should have been accounted for in that way. Which of the following statements is true?

a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.
b. At the end of Year Two, the company's assets are overstated.
c. At the end of Year Two, the company's retained earnings are overstated.
d. At the end of Year One, the company's retained earnings are understated.
e. At the end of Year Two, the company's net income is understated.

Answers

Answer: a. At the end of Year One, the company's liabilities are understated.

Explanation:

Under the Accrual basis of Accounting, revenue should be recorded for only jobs that have been completed. In other words, only earned revenue should be recorded. Revenue that has not been earned but yet received, is to be termed Deferred revenue and should be treated as a current liability.

In this scenario, there are steps that have not been completed so some of the revenue received should be termed deferred revenue. These should therefore be in current liabilities and because they were not, the liabilities for the end of year 1 will be understated.

At the beginning of his current tax year, Eric bought a corporate bond with a maturity value of $25,000 from the secondary market for $17,800. The bond has a stated annual interest rate of 8 percent payable on June 30 and December 31, and it matures in five years on December 31. Absent any special tax elections, how much interest income will Eric report from the bond this year and in the year the bond matures

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the interest income reported this year will be:

= ($25000 × 8%/2) × 2

= $25000 × 0.04 × 2

= $2000

The interest income that will be reported in the year the bond matures will be:

= $2000 + ($25000 - $17800)

= $2000 + $7200

= $9200

The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 16 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 6 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $1.60 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 7.10 percent

Answers

Answer:

$287.01

Explanation:

The 2 stage dividend discount model would be used to determine the current value of the stock.

first stage

Present value in year 1 = (1.6 x 1.16) / 1.071 = 1.73

Present value in year 2 = (1.6 x 1.16²) / 1.071² = 1.88

Present value in year 3 = (1.6 x 1.16³) / 1.071³ =2.03

Present value in year 4 = (1.6 x 1.16^4) / 1.071^4 = 2.20

second stage

[ (1.6 x 1.16^4) x (1.06) ] / (0.071 - 0.06) = 279.17

Value of the stock = 1.73 + 1.88 + 2.03 + 2.20 + 279.17 = $287.01

Net exports will thereforefall , causing the quantity of domestic output demanded tofall . This phenomenon is known as theexchange rate effect

Answers

Answer:

rise, fall, rise, fall, fall, exchange rate

Explanation:

When there is a change in the level of price it will cause the real value to change as well. This is due to the fact that real value is basically relative price i.e., nominal value adjusted by inflation.

This rise in price effects the demand for exports, which in return falls due to higher goods rates. And the effect is opposite for imports which would now rise. The combination effect of imports and exports results in the change in the net exports which would also fall due to rise in imports and fall in the exports. Overall, this effect is known as the exchange rate effect.

The D. Dorner Farms Corporation is considering purchasing one of two fertilizer-herbicides for the upcoming year. The more expensive of the two is better and will produce a higher yield. Assume these projects are mutually exclusive and that the required rate of return is 10 percent. Given the following free cash flows:

Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$5000 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000

Required:
a. Calculate the NPV of each project.
b. Calculate the PI of each project.
c. Calculate the IRR of each project.
d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, which project should be selected? If there is a capital-rationing constraint, how should the decision be made?

Answers

Question Correction:

The question stated that there is a more expensive fertilizer-herbicide.  Therefore, their initial outlays cannot be equal as stated.  Instead, the correct cash flows, including initial outlays are:

                   Product A  Product B

Initial outlay    -$500      -$5000

Inflow year 1       700        6,000

Answer:

The D. Dorner Farms Corporation

                        Product A  Product B

a. NPV =               $136          $454

b. PI =                  1.272           1.091

c. IRR =               27.2%        9.08%

d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, Project B should be chosen despite its poor PI and IRR performances, but for returning a larger NPV.

e. If there is a capital-rationing constraint, Project A should be chosen because of its more impressive PI and IRR performances.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Required rate of return for the projects = 10%

Present factor of 10% for 1 year = 0.909

Free cash flows:

                   Product A  Product B

Initial outlay    -$500      -$5000

Inflow year 1       700        6,000

Present values:

                   Product A  Product B

Initial outlay    -$500      -$5000

Inflow year 1      636         5,454

NPV =               $136          $454

b) PI (Profitability Index) is a useful tool in capital budgeting which measures the profit potential of a project in order to ease decisions.  It is computed by dividing the present value of cash inflows by the initial investment cost.  Another formula is: 1 + (NPV/Initial outlay).

Therefore, the PI for each project is calculated as follows:

PI =            1+ (NPV/Initial outlay)

                   Product A             Product B

Miller, Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $400 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100,000 shares of $4 par value common stock outstanding. There were no dividends declared in 2015. The board of directors declared and paid dividends of $200,000 each in 2016 and 2017. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

Answers

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

First step is to calculate the preferred stock

Preferred stock=(5,000 shares*$400)*6%

Preferred stock=$2,000,000*6%

Preferred stock=$120,000

Now let calculate the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

Dividend Received=($200,000-$120,000)/2

Dividend Received=$80,000/2

Dividend Received=$40,000

Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017 will be$40,000

A manufacturing company accumulates the following data on variable overhead: Actual cost incurred: $61,000; Actual allocation base times the standard variable rate: $64,000; Applied variable overhead: $60,000. The variable overhead efficiency variance is:

Answers

Answer: $4000U

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, the variable overhead efficiency variance is the difference between the actual allocation base times the standard variable rate and the applied variable overhead. This will be:

= $64000 - $60000

= $4000U

Therefore, the variable overhead efficiency variance is $4000U

On January 1, 2020, Blue Inc. had cash and common stock of $62,340. At that date, the company had no other asset, liability, or equity balances. On January 2, 2020, it purchased for cash $22,990 of debt securities that it classified as available-for-sale. It received interest of $4,480 during the year on these securities. In addition, it has an unrealized holding gain on these securities of $5,100 net of tax. Determine the following amounts for 2020: (a) net income, (b) comprehensive income, (c) other comprehensive income, and (d) accumulated other comprehensive income (end of 2020).

Answers

Answer:

(a) Net income = $3,000

(b) Comprehensive income = $7,000

(c) Other comprehensive income = $4,000

(d) Accumulated other comprehensive income = $4,000

Explanation:

This question is based on multi-step income statement. Therefore, some of the elements of the multi-step income statement are employed in answering this question.

(a) net income

This can be calculated as follows:

Net income = Operating income + Total other income and expense – Tax expense ………… (1)

Where, based on information in the question, we have:

Operating income = Not available = 0

Total other income and expense = Interest income = $3,000

Tax expense = Not available = 0

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Net income = 0 + $3,000 – 0 = $3,000

(b) comprehensive income

This can be calculated as follows:

Comprehensive income = Net income + Other comprehensive income …... (2)

Where:

Net income = $3,000

Other comprehensive income = Unrealized holding gain on securities = $4,000

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Comprehensive income = $3,000 + $4,000 = $7,000

(c) other comprehensive income

As already stated in part (b) above, we have:

Other comprehensive income = Unrealized holding gain on securities = $4,000

(d) accumulated other comprehensive income (end of 2020).

As there is no other income from the question, this implies that:

Accumulated other comprehensive income = Unrealized holding gain on securities = $4,000

Dream House Builders, Inc. applies overhead by linking it to direct labor. At the start of the current period, management predicts total direct labor costs of $100,000 and total overhead costs of $20,000. On January 31, the direct labor for this job equals $2,700.

Required:
Write the journal entry.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate first and this will be:

= Estimated overhead / Direct labor cost

= $20,000 / $100,000

= 20% of cost of direct labor

Then we calculate the factory overhead which will be:

= Direct Labor × Predetermined overhead rate

= $2700 × 20%

= $540

Then, the journal entry will be:

31 Dec:

Debit Work in Process $540

Credit: Factory overhead $540

During lunch time, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of lambda equals 36 per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of mu equals 45 per hour. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution. For each of the following questions, show your work and use the right notation.

Required:
a. Determine the utilization factor.
b. Determine the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.
c. Determine the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.

Answers

Answer:a) utilization factor, P =4/5

b)Probability that the system is idle, P₀=1/5

C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=4/25

Explanation:

A)

From the question,

Customer arrives at the rate of λ equal 36  per hour

Also,

Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of μ equals 45 per hour

Therefore, we have that

utilization factor. P = λ / μ

where

λ = 36 / hour

μ = 45 / hour

P= 36 / 45

P= 4/5

The utilization factor is 4/5

b) the probability that the system is idle, i.e., no customer is waiting or being served.

Probability that the system is idle P₀ =1 - P

1 - 4/5

=1/5

C) the probability that exactly one customer is in the system, i.e., no customer is waiting but one is served.

probability that exactly one customer is in the system,P ₁=(λ/μ)¹ x (1-λ/μ)

(36 / 45) x (1-36 / 45)

4/5 x (1-4/5)

4/5 x 1/5

=4/25
