Answer:
No, you should not purchase the equipment if your interest rate is 10% because you would spent more money on the equipment than what you would save in labor costs.
Explanation:
First, you have to calculate the total amount that you would save in 8 years which is the result of multiplying the amount you save per year for the number of years:
$35,000*8=$280,000
Second, you have to calculate the total amount you would have to pay to purchase the equipment if your interest rate is 10% using the following formula:
A= P(1+rt)
A= accrued amount
P= principal amount: $200,000
r= rate: 0.1
t= time period: 8
A= 200,000*(1+(0.1*8))
A= 200,000*1.8
A= 360.000
According to this, in 8 years you would save $280,000 in labor costs but you would have to pay $360,000 for the equipment which means that you will pay more for the machine than what you would save in costs. Because of this, you should not purchase the equipment if your interest rate is 10%.
Dollar-Value LIFO On January 1, 2018, Sato Company adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory costing. Sato's ending inventory records appear as follows: Year Current Cost Index 2018 $40,000 100 2019 56,100 120 2020 58,500 130 2021 70,000 140 Required: Compute the ending inventory for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, using the dollar-value LIFO method. Do not round your intermediate calculations. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year Ending inventory 2018 $ 2019 $ 2020 $ 2021 $
Answer:
40,000 ; 48100 ; 46000 ; 53000
Explanation:
Year Current(A) Cost Index(B) base amount(A/B) change from prior year
2018 $40,000 1.00 40000 0
2019 56,100 1.20 46750 6750
2020 58,500 1.30 45000 (1750)
2021 70,000 1.40 50000 5000
Year 2018 = $40,000
Year 2019:
$40000 × 1.00 = $40,000
$6750 × 1.20 = 8100
$40,000 + 8100 = $48100
Year 2020:
$40000 × 1.00 = $40,000
($6750 - $1,750 = $5000) × 1.20 = $6,000
40000 + 6000 =$46000
Year 2021 :
$40,000 × 1.00 =$40,000
($6750 - $1750 = $5000) × 1.20 = $6000
$5000 × 1.40 = $7000
40000 + 6000 + 7000 =$53000
Juggernaut Satellite Corporation earned $19.6 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 30 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 30 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 70 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2.8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $84. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent is expected to continue in the future.
What is the required rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
The required rate of return on the stock is 12.55%
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
The Company is distributing 30% of its earnings as dividends
Therefore, company is retaining = 100-30 = 70% of its earnings
Growth = Retention ratio * ROE = 0.7*0.14 = 9.8%
Earning = 19.6 million
hence, Paid as dividends = 19.6*0.3 = $5.88 million
The Number of shares outstanding = 2.8 million
hence, Dividend per share = Total dividends / number of shares outstanding = 5.88/2.8 = $2.1
Current stock price = $84
Therefore, to calculate the required rate of return on the stock we would have to use the following formula:
Price of stock = Current dividend*(1+growth)/(r-growth), where r is required rate of return
84 = 2.1*(1.098)/(r-0.098)
40 = 1.098/(r-0.098)
r - 0.098 = 0.02745
r = 0.02745+0.098 = 0.12545
The required rate of return on the stock is 12.55%

Which of the following is not counted as a part of GDP?
A. the purchase of 100 shares of AT&T stock by your grandfather.
B. the purchase of a snow plough by the city of Minneapolis.
C. the unsold additions to inventory at an appliances store
D. the purchase of a loaf of bread by a consumer
Answer:
C, The unsold additions to inventory at an appliances store.
Explanation:
GDP = Gross DOMESTIC Product
Since the unsold additions are not sold, there's no money coming from it, thus it is not counted in GDP.
Bonus: If you order clothes from Thailand, that is called GNP. It counts as Thailand's GDP because the money is going into the country, and it counts as America's GNP as you are buying goods from another country.

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following: Bonds payable, 11% (due in 15 years) $1,023,237 Preferred 8% stock, $100 par (no change during the year) $200,000 Common stock, $50 par (no change during the year) $1,000,000 Income before income tax for year $383,882 Income tax for year $115,165 Common dividends paid $60,000 Preferred dividends paid $16,000 Based on the data presented above, what is the times interest earned ratio (round to two decimal places)
Answer:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio = 4.41 times
Explanation:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio is an accounting ratio that shows the extent to which the income income of an organization can be used to cover its future interest expenses. This can be calculated as follows:
TIE Ratio = Earning before interest and tax (EBIT) / Interest expenses
Since,
Bonds payable, 11% (due in 15 years) = $1,023,237
Interest expenses = 11% * $1,023,237 = $112,556.07
Income before income tax for year = $383,882
EBIT = Interest expenses + Income before income tax for year = $112,556.07 + $383,882 = $496,438.07
Therefore, we have:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio = $496,438.07 / $112,556.07 = 4.41 times
This shows that the income is 4.41 times greater than its annual interest expense. That is, the income can cover the annual interest 4.41 times.

Answer the question based on the following supply and demand schedules in units per week for a product. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied $60 100 400 50 140 340 40 180 280 30 220 220 20 260 160 10 300 100 If the government introduced a guaranteed price floor of $40 and agreed to purchase surplus output, then the government's total support payments to producers would be
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
For computation of the government's total support payments to producers first we need to find out the surplus units which is shown below:
Floor price = $40
[tex]Q_d = 180[/tex]
[tex]Q_s = 280[/tex]
[tex]Surplus\ units[/tex] = [tex]Q_s - Q_d[/tex]
= 280 - 180
= 100
Therefore,
The Total support payments to producer = Price floor × Surplus units
= $40 × 100
= $4,000
So, for determining the total support payment to producer we simply multiply the price floor with surplus units.
8. Problems and Applications Q8 There are four consumers willing to pay the following amounts for haircuts, and there are four haircutting businesses with the following costs: Consumers' Willingness to Pay Charles: $50 Gilberto: $35 Juanita: $25 Dina: $40 Firms' Costs Firm A: $25 Firm B: $40 Firm C: $30 Firm D: $45 Each firm has the capacity to produce only one haircut. For efficiency, should be given. Which businesses should cut hair
Answer: For efficiency 1 hair cut should be given.
Firm A should cut hair, because the marginal cost is lower than the willingness to pay.
Explanation:
Given Data:
Consumers' Willingness to Pay,
Charles: $50

The marginal willingness to pay is higher than the marginal cost till the first haircut. So, for efficiency, 1 haircuts should be given.
Firm A should cut hair, because the marginal cost is lower than the willingness to pay.
The transactions listed below are typical of those involving Amalgamated Textiles and American Fashions. Amalgamated is a wholesale merchandiser and American Fashions is a retail merchandiser. Assume all sales of merchandise from Amalgamated to American Fashions are made with terms n/60, and the two companies use perpetual inventory systems. Assume the following transactions between the two companies occurred in the order listed during the year ended December 31.
A. Amalgamated sold merchandise to American Fashions at a selling price of $280,000. The merchandise had cost Amalgamated $195,000.
B. Two days later, American Fashions returned goods that had been sold to the company at a price of $29,500 and complained to Amalgamated that some of the remaining merchandise differed from what American Fashions had ordered. Amalgamated agreed to give an allowance of $4,500 to American Fashions. The goods returned by American Fashions had cost Amalgamated $20,270.
C. Just three days later, American Fashions paid Amalgamated, which settled all amounts owed.
For each of the events (a) through (c), indicate the amount and direction of the effect on Amalgamated Textiles in terms of the following items. (Enter any decreases to account balances with a minus sign.) Prepare the journal entries that Amalgamated Textiles would record. TIP: When using a perpetual inventory system, the seller always makes two journal entries when goods are sold. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)

The management of Wengel Corporation is considering dropping product B90D. Data from the company's accounting system appear below: Sales $ 740,700 Variable expenses $ 384,800 Fixed manufacturing expenses $ 252,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 215,000 All fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products in the company's accounting system. Further investigation has revealed that $178,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $154,300 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product B90D is discontinued. Required: What would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of dropping B90D? Should the product be dropped?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is shown below:
But before that, we need to do the following calculations
Net operating income (loss) in case of continuing the product :
Sales $740,700
Less:
Variable expense -$384,800
Fixed manufacturing expense -$252,000
Fixed selling and administrative expense -$215,000
Net operating income (loss) -$111,100
Now
Net operating income (loss) in case of discontinuing the product :
Fixed manufacturing expense ($252,000 - $178,000) -$74,000
Fixed selling and administrative expense ($215,000 - $154,300) -$60,700
Net operating income (loss) -$134,700
So,
Financial disadvantage is
= $111,100 - $134,700
= -$236,00
Since loss is increased by $23,600 so the product should not be dropped
Suppose a stock had an initial price of $70 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $55. Compute the percentage total return, dividend yield, and capital gains yield. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Percentage total return is - 18.14 %
Dividend yield is 3.29 %
Capital gains yield is -21.43%
Explanation:
Percentage return = (Dividends paid at end of period + Change in market value over period) ÷ Beginning market value
Percentage total return (R) = [$2.30 + ($55 - $70)] ÷ $70 = - 18.14 %
Dividend yield = Annual Dividend payout ÷ current stock price
Dividend yield = $2.30 ÷ $70 = 3.29 %
Capital gains yield =[tex]\frac{P1 - P0}{P0}[/tex]
P0 = Initial stock price
P1 = Stock price after [tex]1^{st[/tex] period
Capital gains yield = ($55 - 70) ÷ $70 = -21.43%
Mo Meek, Lu Ling, and Barb Beck formed the MLB Partnership by making capital contributions of $75,600, $294,000, and $470,400, respectively. They predict annual partnership net income of $498,000 and are considering the following alternative plans of sharing income and loss: (a) equally; (b) in the ratio of their initial capital investments; or (c) salary allowances of $83,600 to Mo, $62,700 to Lu, and $94,500 to Barb; interest allowances of 10% on their initial capital investments; and the balance shared as follows: 20% to Mo, 40% to Lu, and 40% to Barb. Prepare the December 31 journal entry to close Income Summary assuming they agree to use plan (c) and that net income is $498,000. Mo, Lu, and Barb withdraw $39,300, $53,300, and $69,300, respectively, at year-end.
Answer:
salary allowances of $83,600 to Mo, $62,700 to Lu, and $94,500 to Barb; interest allowances of 10% on their initial capital investments; and the balance shared as follows: 20% to Mo, 40% to Lu, and 40% to Barb.
net income $498,000, total distributions:
Mo = $83,600 + (20% x $257,200) = $135,040Lu = $62,700 + (40% x $257,200) = $165,580Barb = $94,500 + (40% x $257,200) = $197,380First we need to close Income Summary account to each partner's capital account:

If your uncle borrows $69,000 from the bank at 11 percent interest over the nine-year life of the loan. Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
a. What equal annual payments must be made to discharge the loan, plus pay the bank its required rate of interest? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. How much of his first payment will be applied to interest? To principal? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
c. How much of his second payment will be applied to each? (Do not round intermediate calculations Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. The annual payment to be made is $12,461.51
b. On first installment interest portion is $7,590 and principal portion is $4,871.51
c. The Interest portion in the second installemnt is $7,054.13 and Principal portion is $5,407.38.
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Loan Amount (Present Value) = $69,000.
Nper = 9 years
Rate = 11%.
Future value = 0
You would have to Compute annual payment using excel function as follows:
Pmt = Pmt(11%,9,-69000,0)
= $12,461.51.
Therefore, annual payment to be made is $12,461.51.
b. To calculate the amount of his first payment to be applied to interest and To principal we would have to make the following calculation:
Interest = $69,000*11% = 7,590.
Installement amount = 12,461.51.
Principal portion = 12,461.51-7590 = $4,871.51.
Therefore, On first installment interest portion is $7,590 and principal portion is $4,871.51.
c. To calculate How much of his second payment will be applied to each we would have to make the following calculations:
Principal Balance at the beginning of the second is $69,000 -$4871.51 = $64128.49.
Interest portion in the second installemnt = $64,128.49 * 11% = $7,054.13.
Principal portion = $12461.51-$7054.13 = $5,407.38.
Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $72,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $7,950 at the end of five years. Using the straight-line method, the book value at December 31, 2021, would be:
Answer:
Depreciation expense $12,910
Book value $46,680
Explanation:
Kansas Enterprises
Formula for Depreciation expenses
Annual depreciation expense=(Cost-Residual value)/Useful Life
Where,
Cost = 72,500
Residual value =7,950
Useful life = 5 years
Let plug in the formula
=(72,500-7950)/5
=64,550/5
=$12,910/year
Therefore depreciation expense for 2021
=$12,910
Calulation for Book value
Book value = $72,500 – ($12,910× 2)
$72,500 -$25,820
=$46,680
Therefore the book value would be $46,680

Assets totaled $24,750 and liabilities totaled $8,550 at the beginning of the year. During the year, assets decreased by $3,550 and liabilities increased by $2,850. What is the amount of the change in stockholders' equity during the year?
Answer:
Amount of the change in stockholders' equity during the year is $6,400 (Decrease)
Explanation:
Assets = $24,750
Liabilities = $8,550
Equity = Assets - Liability
Equity at Beginning : $24,750 -$8,550 = $16,200
Equity at End : ($24,750 - $3,550) - ($8,550+$2,850)
= $21,200 - $11,400
= $9,800
Change in Stock holder's Equity : $16,200 -$9,800

Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{Max \ Z = 2.033 BR + 2.583 BD + 1.868 CR + 2.418 CD}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the given information:
The total revenue can be illustrated as :
Total revenue = 3.6 BR + 4.4 BD + 3.6 CR + 4.4 CD
On the other hand; the total cost of the beans is:
= 1.1 (0.47 BR + 0.47 BD + 0.62 CR + 0.62 CD)
= 0.517 BR + 0.517 BD + 0.682 CR + 0.682 CD
Also; The total production cost is :
= 0.8 BR + 1.05 BD + 0.8 CR + 1.05 CD
The total profit = Total revenue - Total Cost of Beans - Total Production Cost
The total profit = [tex]\left[\begin{array}{}3.6 BR + 4.4 BD + 3.6 CR + 4.4 CD\\- (0.517 BR + 0.517 BD + 0.682 CR + 0.682 CD)\\-(0.8 BR + 1.05 BD + 0.8 CR + 1.05 CD)\end{array}\right][/tex]
The total profit = 2.033 BR + 2.583 BD + 1.868 CR + 2.418 CD
Therefore the linear programming model represents the Objective function of the total profit as:

"Raising the interest rate on reserves above the current fed funds rate means that the floor of reserve demand will push the equilibrium fed funds rate up along with the interest rate on reserves. Both borrowed reserves and non-borrowed reserves will remain the same."
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The federal fund rates, commonly referred to as fed funds rates can be defined as the interest rate at which banks in the U.S lend money to other depository financial institutions, such as credit union or banks, mainly without any collateral and on an overnight basis.
Raising the interest rate on reserves above the current fed funds rate means that the floor of reserve demand will push the equilibrium fed funds rate up along with the interest rate on reserves. Both borrowed reserves and non-borrowed reserves will remain the same.
However, when the Fed reduces the interest rate on reserves below the current fed funds rate, it simply means that, there would be a leftward shift in the demand for reserve line, at any given interest rate. Thus, causing the fed funds rate to decrease, while borrowed reserves and non-borrowed reserves remain unchanged.
As a student in the Principles of Management class of Ama Ghana University, you are expected to have experiential knowledge so that you can be able to solve real life business problems after graduation. To achieve this objective, the 2020 class has been divided into ten groups; and each team works in a management capacity with ten management consulting companies in the Greater Accra Region. San Consulting - the firm that your group works with is a project management company that is into Real Estate construction and management consulting. This firm which has twenty years’ experience in this business is the first choice for all individuals and companies that want quality service. You have on the contrary, observed that many of the management practices have not developed precipitously as situations in the business environment warrant. The accountant confirmed this by saying in the last general meeting that a certain percentage of San’s profit margin is being lost because of this situation. She gave the example that the surveying department spent eight labor hours generating data that had been generated two weeks ago by another unit. Due to the fact that the surveying department did not know that the data had already been created, a substantial effort was wasted and this has been a recurrent problem.
In addition, the increase in demand of the services of San’s Consulting has placed significant pressures on the five managers whose duties are not clearly defined. For instance, you have observed that any of these managers perform duties in the operations department as well as any other unit within the firm. They are not able to perform all the functions required of them due to the ineffectiveness of the organizational structure.
You and the members of your group are expected to write a report to the top-level management team regarding your analysis of the situation in the firm.

1B) Akwamba made this statement ‘organisations cannot be successful if managers fail to pay attention to the forces in the external environment’. Do you agree or not? Justify using practical examples (9 marks)
Answer:
San Consulting
1. There are four main management functions which work coherently: Planning, Organizing tasks & delegation, Leading, and Controlling. The main function is not operating within the firm is Organizing. Tasks which are necessary to achieve organizational plans are not been effectively organized. That is why more than one department will be handling a task.
2. I would recommend that operational tasks are organized and delegated according to functional departments (functional organizational structure). Any task that requires cross-functional efforts should attract the setting up of a project team from relevant departments. The five managers should be in charge of one operational department each, with clear assignment of authorities and responsibilities. This will ensure that they can be held accountable for their departmental results and avoid duplication of efforts companywide.
3. The effectiveness can be evaluated by checking if the problem situation is recurring and also how much is now being saved through proper delegation of responsibilities.
4. San Consulting is currently using a flat organizational structure. This is not suitable for the organization. The best organizational structure will be a functional structure, with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines. Some of the factors that influenced my decision for choosing the functional structure are size and strategy. The size of San Consulting given its businesses and experience shows that it is not a small organization.
5. 1) If the current structure is continued, the firm will continue to witness duplication of efforts by various units, lack of coordination of tasks, and loss of profit margin, companywide. These problems are already been noticed. The only way to solve them is to put an end to the existing structure and then its replacement with a more suitable structure.
5.2) Resistance to change will be the main problem encountered initially with the implementation of a new structure. This is always to be expected. However, all stakeholders can be carried along through proper communication. Brainstorming can even be introduced to enable different contributions to be made on the way forward.
1B) I agree with Akwamba's statement. Every successful organization monitors its external environment and tries to be proactive instead of reactive to external environmental forces. Without such external environmental monitoring, the organizational may find itself in the position of IBM, Xerox, etc. The external environment is made of these factors: customers, competition, economy, technology, political and social conditions, laws and regulations, and resources.
Explanation:
1. There are four management functions which are linked to one another. The first is planning and involves plans designed to achieve goals. The second is the organization of tasks to implement the plans. The third is the leadership that must be provided to ensure that tasks are carried out according to plan. The last is the coordination, which involves the evaluation of activities and results to monitor performance and make improvements.
2. There are four main organizational structures: functional, flat, divisional, and matrix.
3. There are two environments in which an organization operates: internal and external. The organization controls its internal environment. However, its external environment is usually outside its control. But, attention should always be paid to the external environment because of its influences on organizational success and failure.

Xu owns two investments, A and B, that have a combined total value of $40,000. Investment A is expected to pay $28,000 in 3 years from today and has an expected return of 7.1 percent per year. Investment B is expected to pay $36,000 in T years from today and has an expected return of 5.5 percent per year. What is T, the number of years from today that investment B is expected to pay $36,000?
Answer:
The number of years is [tex]T =13 \ years[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The total value of the investment A and B is [tex]k =[/tex]$40, 000
The future value of A is [tex]F_A =[/tex]$28,000
The time period is t = 3
The expected return of A is [tex]e_A =[/tex] 7.1 % = 0.071
The future value of B is [tex]F_B =[/tex]$36,000
The time period for B is T
The expected return of B is [tex]e_B =[/tex]5.5 % = 0.055
The present value of investment A is mathematically represented as
[tex]A = \frac{F_A }{(1 + e_A) ^t}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]A = \frac{ 28000 }{(1 + 0.071) ^3}[/tex]
[tex]A =[/tex]$ 22792.38
The present value of B is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]B = k - A[/tex]
substituting values
B = 40, 000 - 22792.38
B = $17,208
The future value of B is
[tex]F_B = B * (1 + e_B)^T[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]36,000 =17,208 * (1 + 0.055)^T[/tex]
[tex]2.0921 = (1.055)^T[/tex]
take log of both sides
[tex]log(2.0921) =log (1.055)^T[/tex]
[tex]0.32057 = T log (1.055)[/tex]
=> [tex]T = \frac{0.3206}{0.0232}[/tex]
[tex]T =13 \ years[/tex]
