a) geographic diversification strategy.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Symphon Times Inc., a Swiss-based premium watch brand, has recently started selling its watches through company-owned retail outlets in major cities of the emerging nations. The type of diversification strategies the firm is pursuing is a geographic diversification strategy.
Geographical diversification strategy can be defined as the process of diversifying your investments across various geographical regions (market) so as to improve profits or returns on investment and primarily to mitigate the overall business risk.
Hence, using the geographic diversification strategy Symphon Times Inc., is spreading its risk across various geographical regions or emerging nations by allocation of its resources in order to prevent them from being vulnerable to external conditions and to improve their performance and competitiveness. Thus, a geographic diversification strategy is simply a business management strategy that entails "not putting all your eggs in a basket" rather you should have them spread across in order to prevent or mitigate the overall risks.
Additionally, in order to preserve wealth and to reduce portfolio risks it is advisable that business owners such as Symphon Times Inc. engage in geographic diversification strategy.
The nominal interest rate in Fiji is 3%, while the nominal interest rate in the U.S. is 5%. Real interest rates in both countries are 2%. According to purchasing power parity (PPP), the Fijian dollar (F$) may be expected to ________ by ________%.
Answer:
1.98%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:-
As we know that
PPP equation i.e
Nominal Interest rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate
Now
The Inflation rate for Fiji is
= 5% - 2%
= 3%
And, the Inflation rate for US is
= 3% - 2%
= 1%
As we can see that the inflation rate for Fiji is more than the inflation rate for US so we should be depreciated the currency by considering the inflation differential which is shown below:
= (1 + 3%) ÷ (1 + 1%) -1
= 1.98%

What is Tesla’s long-term portion of capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2013 (in $ thousands)? Please provide your answer without comma separator or decimal (Ex: 23456)
Answer:
Tesla's long-term portion of capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2013 (in $ thousands)
= 10460
This figure was obtained from the sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data.com.htm site.
Explanation:
A capital lease obligation is the amount of lease for capital assets under a capital lease agreement. Generally, lease agreements are usually classified as either operating lease or capital lease. The portion of capital lease obligations that are maturing within the current accounting period or within the next 12 months are classified as current. The reminder which matures after the next 12 months are classified as long-term.
Accounting for leases are currently under the purview and guidance of IFRS 16 Leases or FASB's ASC 842 Leases.
The calculated cost of trade credit for a firm that buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, is lower (other things held constant) if the firm plans to pay in 40 days than in 30 days.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The terms of 2/10, net 30 implies that the firm is entitled to receive a 2 percent discount if it makes payment within 10 days for the goods it bought on term but the seller expects to pay full amount of the amount due in 30 days if it fails to pay within 10 days.
However, since there will be no more discount after the discount period, the cost of trade credit will continue to fall longer the payment is extended. For this question this can be demonstrated using the formula for calculating the cost of trade discount as follows:
Cost of trade discount = {[1 + (discount rate / (1 - discount rate))]^(365/days after discount)} - 1 ................... (1)
We can now applying equation (1) as follows:
For payment in 40 days
Cost of trade credit (payment in 40 days)= {[1 + (0.02 / (1 - 0.02))]^(365/40)} - 1 = 0.202436246672765, or 20%
For payment in 30 days
Cost of trade credit (payment in 30 days) = {[1 + (0.02 / (1 - 0.02))]^(365/30)} - 1 = 0.278643315029666, or 28%
Conclusion
Since the 20% calculated cost of trade credit for payment in 40 days is lower than 28% calculated cost of trade credit for payment in 30 days, the correct option is A. True. That is, the calculated cost of trade credit for a firm that buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, is lower (other things held constant) if the firm plans to pay in 40 days than in 30 days.
As a Cost and Management Consultant in the banking industry in Ghana, one of your highly esteemed clients, a top tier banking institution in Ghana has required of you to advise them as to whether target costing can be applied to the banking industry in Ghana. They further require you to advise them on what products or services can target costing be applied
Answer with its Explanation:
The target costing is a costing technique that helps to reduce the cost of the company operations by setting cost targets for the operations. The first step under target costing is to set a selling price for the product and the second step is to set the target profit margin. Now at this position we are able to derive the target cost by taking the difference of profit margin and the selling price of the product. At this stage the actions and reforms required to achieve this target cost are determined and implemented in the current operating activities. The best part of the target costing is that it says that the pricing though matters but the main aspect of a product success is its cost controls. If the company is able to control the cost of the product then it can control the movement of prices in the market. So target costing specially focuses and stresses upon cost control procedures.
As Target costing is all about cost controlling and can be applied to any sector. In Ghana, target costing will help to control the cost of the services that the banking sector renders to its customers. This reduction in services cost can be achieved by automation, installation of new softwares, Investing in automated teller machines, etc. By gaining efficiencies, the banking sector will substantially reduce its cost thus achieving its target cost.
By achieving the target cost the bank will have to sell at the same rate as the bank had invested its time and money in efficiency gaining activities. There are a lot of activities and products that can be automated and that can help to achieve the target cost. For example, promoting internet banking will reduce the cost of ATM management, paper cost, management time, additional branch opening or extension of building, etc. We can see how easily internet banking will assist the banking sector to achieve its target costs.
Garcia Company has 10,400 units of its product that were produced last year at a total cost of $156,000. The units were damaged in a rainstorm because the warehouse where they were stored developed a leak in the roof. Garcia can sell the units as is for $3 each or it can repair the units at a total cost of $18,400 and then sell them for $7 each. Calculate the incremental net income if the units are repaired
Answer:
$23,200
Explanation:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Incremental
no repairs repair units revenue
sales revenue $31,200 $0 ($31,200)
repair costs $0 -$18,400 ($18,400)
revenue from $0 $72,800 $72,800
selling repaired units
total $23,200
Incremental revenues refer to the extra or additional revenues generated by a business activity or transaction. In this case, repairing and then selling the damaged units would increase income by $23,200.
A random sample of 10 parking meters in a beach community showed the following incomes for a day. Assume the incomes are normally distributed. $3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00 Find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean. (Be sure to indicate your calculations for mean and standard deviation)
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01
Explanation:
In order to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the true mean we would have to calculate first the mean and standard deviation as follows:
mean=∑Xi/n
mean=$3.60 $4.50 $2.80 $6.30 $2.60 $5.20 $6.75 $4.25 $8.00 $3.00/10
mean=4.7
standard deviation=√∑(Xi-mean)∧2/n-1
standard deviation=1.83
t critical=2.262
The confidence interval=mean +/- t critical*standard deviation/√10
The confidence interval=4.7 +/- 2.262*1.8338/√10
The confidence interval=(3.39, 6.01)
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean would be between 3.39 and 6.01
The cost of units transferred from Work in Process Inventory to Finished Goods Inventory is called the cost of goods manufactured.
1. True
2. False
Answer:
1. True
Explanation:
Work in process inventory is inventory that is still undergoing processing. When the processing is completed, the goods (inventory) become finished goods. And they are transferred to Finished Goods Inventory as cost of goods manufactured. Finished Goods Inventory represents goods that are available for sale. The cost of finished goods inventory also forms part of the cost of goods sold, which is used in determining the gross profit. Accounting for work in process inventory is part of the multi-step system of accumulating and allocating cost of production to finished goods.
Cost centers are evaluated primarily on the basis of their ability to control costs and:_______.
A) Their return on assets.
B) Residual income.
C) The quantity and quality of the services they provide.
D) Their contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
C.

What this means is that although, they give no profit to the organization, they add to the total bill of the organization.
So how do we evaluate them?
Since they are not here for profitability, the measure of how they are relevant to the company is measured on two basis.
They are evaluated on their ability to control costs and also the quality and quantity of the services these centers provide
Can you explain answer below:
#28 The Canadian subsidiary of a U.S. company reported cost of goods sold of 50,000 C$, for the current year ended December 31. The beginning inventory was 15,000 C$, and the ending inventory was 10,000 C$. Spot rates for various dates are as follows:
Date beginning inventory was acquired $1.08 = 1C$
Rate at beginning of the year $1.10 = 1C$
Weighted average rate for the year $1.12 = 1C$
Date ending inventory was acquired $1.13 = 1C$
Assuming the Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian subsidiary, the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement is
Answer is C. $56,000
Answer:
$56,000
Explanation:
Data:
Cost of good sold (single) = $50,000
Weighted average rate of the year = $1.12
Cost of good sold consolidated = ???????
Solution:
In order to find the translated amount of cost of goods sold that should appear in the consolidated income statement, we will multiply the cost of goods sold given for Canadian subsidiary with the weighted average rate of the year.
Calculation:
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $50,000 x $1.12
Cost of good sold (consolidated) = $56,000
A stock has an expected return of 12.6 percent, the risk-free rate is 7 percent, and the market risk premium is 10 percent. What must the beta of this stock be
Answer:
0.56
Explanation:
In this question we used the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula i.e shown below:
As we know that
Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium
12.6% = 7% + Beta × 10%
12.6% - 7% = Beta × 10%
5.6% = Beta × 10%
So, the beta is
= 5.6% ÷ 10%
= 0.56
Hence, the beta of the stock is 0.56
A company purchased a commercial dishwasher by paying cash of $5,300. The dishwasher's fair value on the date of the purchase was $5,700. The company incurred $320 in transportation costs, $210 installation fees, and paid a $230 fine for illegal parking while the dishwasher was being delivered. For what amount will the company record the dishwasher
Answer:
$5,830
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Cash paid = $5,300
Transportation cost = $320
Installation fees = $210
The computation of the amount that will record the dishwasher is shown below:-
Total cost = Cash paid + Transportation cost + Installation fees
= $5,300 + $320 + $210
= $5,830
Therefore for computing the total cost we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.
The risk-free rate of return is 5 percent and the market risk premium is 12 percent. What is the expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.4
Answer:
Expected rate of return= 21.8 %
Explanation:
The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model for estimating the return on a stock.. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. Systematic risks are those which affect all economic actors in the market, they include factors like changes in interest rate, inflation, etc. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.
Under CAPM,
E(r)= Rf + β×(Rm-Rf)
E(r)- expected return- ?
Rf-risk-free rate- 5%
β= Beta - 1.4
(Rm-Rf) - 12
E(r) = 5% + 1.4× (12%)= 21.8 %
Expected rate of return= 21.8 %

Government officials have hired your consulting firm to encourage more people to use the theater . In the initial meeting, you discussed several options for increasing demand. Three suggestions are listed below. Based on your knowledge of the law of demand, what is your recommendation for each suggestion?
Suggestion 1: Reduce the price of public transportation
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 2: Increase the prices of private transportation by increasing the price of parking and gasoline
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Suggestion 3: Offer monthly and yearly passes that reduce the price per ride
Choose one:
a. Not recommend
b. Recommend
Answer:
Suggestion 1: Not Recommended
Suggestion 2: Recommended
Suggestion 3: Not Recommended
Explanation:
The law of demand says that the increase in the price of the commodity will result in decrease in the utility derived from that product and as a result the consumption of the product falls.
So by keeping the law of demand in view, we can say that the:
Reduction in price of public transportation is not recommended because every transporter will start investing in public transport and we will have higher number of buses per person.The increase in the price of parking and gasoline is recommended as the increase in parking fees and gasoline cost will discourage people to buy private transportation.Offer of monthly and yearly passes to reduce the price per ride is not recommended as it encourages the cyclists to travel via bus. Hence it is not recommended.Bendel Inc. has an operating leverage of 4.3. If the company's sales increase by 15%, its net operating income should increase by about:

Turner Inc. produces two products P1 and P2. The company has provided you with the following information. Assume that the current sales volume of P1 and P2 reflects the long run sales mix of the firm.
P1 P2
Selling price per unit $30 $60
Variable cost per unit $10 $30
Numberof units sold 9,000 6,000
Total fixed costs $240,000
Select ALL statements that are true. All numbers in the answer choices are rounded off to 2 decimals. Breakeven volume in units is rounded off to the next higher integer.
A. 40% of Turner's revenue comes from P2
B. The operating leverage for Turner now is 0.47
C. Turner makes a contribution of $0. 57 per dollar of revenue, on the average.
D. Turner will breakeven when it reaches a revenue of $420,000.
E. The breakeven volume for Turner is 9,334 units
Answer:
B. The operating leverage for Turner now is 0.47 ⇒ TRUE
operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $240,000 / $510,000 = 0.47
C. Turner makes a contribution of $0. 57 per dollar of revenue, on the average. ⇒ TRUE
total contribution margin = ($20 x 9,000) + ($30 x 6,000) = $180,000 + $180,000 = $360,000
total revenue = $630,000
contribution margin per $ of revenue = $360,000 / $630,000 = $0.57
D. Turner will break even when it reaches a revenue of $420,000. ⇒ TRUE
break even point in $ = (6,000 x $30) + (4,000 x $60) = $180,000 + $240,000 = $420,000
Explanation:
A. 40% of Turner's revenue comes from P2 ⇒ FALSE
total revenue = $270,000 + $360,000 = $630,000
revenue from P2 = $360,000, which represents 57.14% of total revenue
E. The breakeven volume for Turner is 9,334 units ⇒ FALSE
in order to calculate break even point, we can prepare a bundle of products = 3P1 + 2P2
contribution margin per bundle = $120
break even point = $240,000 / $120 = 2,000 bundles
6,000 P1 and 4,000 P2
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold every year at a price of $5 per case. After the tax, 44 billion cases of cola are sold every year; consumers pay $6 per case, and producers receive $2 per case (after paying the tax).
The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $ per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per case, and the burden that falls on producers is $_________ per case, and the burden that falls on producers is $ _____ per case.
The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:
The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.
The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
a. True
b. False
Explanation:
The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5). However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5 to $2. This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).
This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.
"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone. This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit. Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.
The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the tax burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is $3 per case.
What do you mean by tax burden?Tax Burden is a measure of the tax liability imposed by the government on the citizens of a country.
The tax burden on consumers, represented by the price difference of cola from $ 5 to $ 6 per unit is $ 1 ($ 6 - $ 5).
However, producers' revenue has been reduced by $3 from $ 5 to $2.
This indicates that the total tax burden on both buyers and producers is $4 ($ 1 + $ 3).
This represents a total tax burden of $4 or approximately 67% based on the new sales value of cola or 80% based on the old sales value of cola.
Therefore, The statement is true; "The impact of taxes on the sale price would be huge if the tax was levied on consumers alone. This is because the price of cola would increase to $ 9 per unit.

Marigold Corporation acquires a coal mine at a cost of $420,000. Intangible development costs total $105,000. After extraction has occurred, Marigold must restore the property (estimated fair value of the obligation is $84,000), after which it can be sold for $168,000. Marigold estimates that 4,200 tons of coal can be extracted.
Required:
If 735 tons are extracted the first year, prepare the journal entry to record depletion.
Answer:
Inventory Dr $77,175
To Accumulated depletion $77,175
(being the depletion is recorded)
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Inventory Dr $77,175
To Accumulated depletion $77,175
(being the depletion is recorded)
For recording this we debited the inventory as it increased the assets and credited the accumulated depletion as it decreased the assets
The computation is shown below:
= (Cost of coal mine + intangible development cost + estimated fair value of the obligation - sales value) ÷ (extracted estimated tons) × (extracted tons for the first year)
= ($420,000 + $105,000 + $84,000 - $168,000) ÷ (4,200 tons) × (735 tons)
= $77,175

we can use the following two basic formulas to determine the missing amounts:
ending balance retained earnings = beginning balance + net income - dividends paid
paid in capital = assets - liabilities - retained earnings
firm A:
417,000 - 216,000 - 75,000 = 126,000
126,000 + 44,000 - 76,000 = 94,000
firm B:
536,000 - 144,000 - 307,000 = 85,000
307,000 - 85,000 + 9,000 = 231,000
firm C:
44,000 + 117,000 - 66,000 = 95,000
316,000 - 37,000 - 95,000 = 184,000

E-Eyes just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $13 in perpetuity, beginning 11 years from now. If the market requires a 6 percent return on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today
Answer:
The cost of preferred stock today is $114.14
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of preferred stock today, we first need to determine the cost of each share of preferred stock 11 years from now when it starts paying dividends and then discount it back to today's value.
The preferred stock pays a constant dividend and after equal interval of time for an indefinite period. Thus, it is like a perpetuity. The present value of perpetuity is,
Present value = Dividend / r
Where,
r is the required rate of return
Value Year 11 = 13 / 0.06
Value Year 11 = 216.6666667
The present value is,
Present value = 216.6666667 / (1+0.06)^11
Present value = $114.137 rounded off to $114.14
Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows. Project A has an IRR of 11%, while Project B's IRR is 14%. When the WACC is 8%, the projects have the same NPV. Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?a. If the WACC is 9%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. b. If the WACC is greater than 14%, Project A's IRR will exceed Project B's. c. If the WACC is 13%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's. e. If the WACC is 6%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Answer:
d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment
While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage
Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR
Therefore option d is correct

7. A fast-food chain plans to expand by opening several new restaurants. The chain operates two types of
restaurants, drive-through and full-service. A drive-through restaurant costs RM 100.000 to construct,
requires 5 employees, and has an expected annual revenue of RM 200.000. A full service restaurant
costs RM 150.000 to construct, requires 15 employees, and has an expected annual revenue of RM
500,000. The chain has RM 2,400,000 in capital available for expansion. Labor contracts require that
they hire no more than 210 employees, and licensing restrictions require that they open no more than
20 new restaurants.
(a) How many restaurants of each type should the chain open in order to maximize the expected
revenue? [1 point)
≤
Explanation:
Drive through Full Service
Annual revenue 200,000 500,000
Cost 100,000 150,000
Income 100,000 350,000
Employee 5 15
Income / employee 20,000 23,333.33
Using simultaneous equation ,
Let X represent the drive through service ,and Y represent the full service restaurant
Budget = 100,000x + 150,000y ≤ 2,400,000 (equation 1)
Employer = 5x + 15y ≤ 210 (equation 2)
(Divide equation 1 by 10 ,000)
10x+ 15y ≤ 240 (equation 3)
Using elimination method, multiply equation 2 by -2
10x +15y ≤240
-10x - 30y ≤-420
-15y ≤ -180
y≤ -180/-15
y = 12
substitute y = 12 in equation 3
10x + 15y≤240
10x +180 ≤240
10x≤240-180
10x≤60
x≤6
12 1,800,000 180
6 600,000 30
6 drive through services and 12 full services should be opened.
6 Drive through 12 full service 20
Cost 600,000 1,800,000 2,400,000
Employees 30 180
Net income 600,000 4,200,000
