The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced it is going to break far out of that range in the next 3 months. You do not know whether it will go up or down, however. The current price of the stock is $110 per share, and the price of a 3-month call option at an exercise price of $110 is $6.53. a. If the risk-free interest rate is 8% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month put option on P.U.T.T. stock at an exercise price of $110? (The stock pays no dividends.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$3.86
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Current price of stock (S0) = $110
Call option at exercise price X is $110
Three month call option price (C) = $6.53
Risk free interest rate = 8%
Price of the three month P.U.T.T option (P) = C - S0 + PV (X)
= $6.53 - $140 + $140 ÷ (1+8%)^(3÷12 )
= $6.53 - $140 + $140 ÷ (1+8%)^.25
= $6.53 - $140 + $140 ÷ 1.019427
= $6.53 - $140 + $137.33
= $3.86
Amazon Appliance Company has three installers. Larry earns $355 per week, Curly earns $430 per week, and Moe earns $560 per week. The company's SUTA rate is 5.4%, and the FUTA rate is 6% minus the SUTA. As usual, these taxes are paid on the first $7,000 of each employee's earnings.
A. How much SUTA and FUTA tax does Amazon owe for the first quarter of the year?
B. How much SUTA and FUTA tax does Amazon owe for the second quarter of the year?
Answer:
A. SUTA = $929.07
FUTA = $103.23
B. SUTA = $204.93
FUTA = $22.77
Explanation:
A. First Quarter
52 weeks in a year.
Quarterly therefore there are,
= 52/4
= 13 weeks in a quarter.
In a quarter the employees makes the following,
Larry
= 355 * 13
= $4,615
Curly
= 430 * 13
= $5,590
Moe
= 560 * 13
= $7,280
SUTA Taxes are on first $7,000 so Moe will not pay full 5.4%.
SUTA Taxes
Larry
= 4,615 * 5.4%
= $249.21
Curly
= 5,590 * 5.4%
= $301.86
Moe
= 7,000 * 5.4%
= $378
In total for SUTA,
= 249.21 + 301.86 + 378
= $929.07
For FUTA
Tax is 6% - SUTA so,
= 6% - 5.4%
= 0.6%
Larry
= 4,615 * 0.6%
= $27.69
Curly
= 5,590 * 0.6%
= $33.54
Moe
= 7,000 * 0.6%
= $42
In total for FUTA,
= 27.69 + 33.54 + 42
= $103.23
B. Second Quarter.
Here bear in mind that Moe no longer has to be paid for as he has earned $7,000 in the first quarter.
This leaves just Larry and Curly who have already earned something in the first quarter which should be removed from $7,000 to find out how much they are to pay taxes on.
SUTA Taxes
First $7,000.
Larry has already been paid 4,615 leaving,
= 7,000 - 4,615
= $2,385 is the figure that SUTA and FUTA should be based on.
For Curly
= 7,000 - 5,590
= $1,410 is the figure that SUTA and FUTA should be based on.
Larry SUTA
= 2,385 * 5.4%
= $128.79
Curly SUTA
= 1,410 * 5.4%
= 76.14
Total for SUTA is,
= 128.79 + 76.14
= $204.93
Then FUTA using the same figures.
Larry FUTA
= 2,385 * 0.6%
= $14.31
Curly SUTA
= 1,410 * 0.6%
= $8.46
Total for FUTA is,
= 14.31 + 8.46
= $22.77
The Lopez-Portillo Company has $11.3 million in assets, 90 percent financed by debt, and 10 percent financed by common stock. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent and the par value of the stock is $10 per share. President Lopez-Portillo is considering two financing plans for an expansion to $21.5 million in assets. Under Plan A, the debt-to-total-assets ratio will be maintained, but new debt will cost a whopping 10 percent! Under Plan B, only new common stock at $10 per share will be issued. The tax rate is 30 percent.
a. If EBIT is 11 percent on total assets, compute earnings per share (EPS) before the expansion and under the two alternatives
Earnings Per Share
Current $
Plan A $
Plan B $
b. What is the degree of financial leverage under each of the three plans? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Degree Of

c. If stock could be sold at $20 per share due to increased expectations for the firm’s sales and earnings, what impact would this have on earnings per share for the two expansion alternatives? Compute earnings per share for each. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Earnings Per Share
Plan A $
Plan B $
Answer:
Explanation:
Current Plan A Plan B
EBIT 1.243 2.365 2.365
Interest 1.017 1.935 1.017
EBT 0.226 0.43 1.348
Tax (30%) 0.0678 0.129 0.4044
Net Income 0.1582 0.301 0.9436
EPS $ 1.40 $ 1.40 $ 0.83
No. of shares 0.113 0.215 1.133
DFL 5.50 5.50 1.75
In the current plan, Debt = 90% x 11.3 = 10.17m
Interest expense = 10% x 10.17 = 1.017m
No. of shares = Equity / Par value = 11.3 x 10% / 10 = 0.113m
EBIT = 11% x 11.3 = 1.243m
EPS = Net Income / No. of shares = 0.1582m / 0.113m = $1.40
In Plan A, Debt = 90% x 21.5 = 19.35m
Interest expense = 10% x 19.35 = 1.935m
No. of shares = Equity / Par value = 21.5 x 10% / 10 = 0.215m
EBIT = 11% x 21.5 = 2.365m
EPS = Net Income / No. of shares = 0.301m / 0.215m = $1.40
In Plan B, Debt = 90% x 11.3 = 10.17m
Interest expense = 10% x 10.17 = 1.017m
No. of shares = Equity / Par value = (21.5 - 10.17) / 10 = 1.133m
EBIT = 11% x 21.5 = 2.365m
EPS = Net Income / No. of shares = 0.9436m / 1.133m = $0.83
DFL = EBIT / EBT
Kayak Company uses a job order costing system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. Kayak Company's production costs for the year were: direct labor, $26,000; direct materials, $46,000; and factory overhead applied $5,600. The overhead application rate was:_______.
a. 17.69%.
b. 21.54%.
c. 464.29%.
d. 4.64%.
e. 12.17%.
Answer:
b. 21.54%.
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the overhead application rate is shown below:
As we know that
Overhead application rate is
= (Applied factory overhead ÷ Direct labor cost)
where,
Applied factory overhead is $5,600
And, the direct labor cost is $26,000
Now putting these values to the above formula
So, the overhead application rate is
= ($5600 ÷ $26000)
= 21.54%
We simply divided the applied factory overhead which is indirect cost by the direct labor cost i.e direct cost so that the overhead application rate could come
Fast Photo operates four film developing labs in upstate New York. The four labs are identical: They employ the same production technology, process the same mix of films, and buy raw materials from the same companies at the same prices. Wage rates are also the same at the four plants. In reviewing operating results for November, the newly hired assistant controller, Matt Paige, became quite confused over the numbers:

Upon further study, Matt learned that each plant had fixed overhead of $300,000. Matt remembered from his managerial accounting class that as volume increases, average fixed cost per unit falls. Because Plant D had much lower average fixed costs per roll than Plants A and B, Matt expected Plant D to be more profitable than Plants A and B. But the numbers show just the opposite. Write a concise but clear memo to Matt that will resolve his confusion.
Answer:
Fast Photo
Memo to Matt:
From: Financial Controller
To: Matt Paige (Asst Controller)
Subject: Fixed Overhead and Plant D's Profit
Date: June 5, 2020
The above subject refers.
I wish to clarify the issue of fixed cost per unit. It is true that fixed cost per unit decreases with increased volume. It is also true that Plant D had much lower average fixed costs per roll $4.62 ($300,000/65,000) than Plants A's $6 ($300,000/50,000), B's $5.45 ($300,000/55,000) and even C's $5 ($300,000/60,000).
However, the issue of profit is not dependent on the fixed cost per unit alone. There are other variables. Profit is also determined by the variable cost per unit and the selling price. Since the four plants have the same selling price, we shall not consider selling price as a factor hence.
Therefore, note the variable cost per unit for each plant stated as follows: A = $3.90, B = $4.40, C= $4.97, and D = $5.42. This shows that it costs more per unit of variable cost to produce in Plant D. The difference will be explained by efficiencies in technology use, processing, quantity of materials used and wasted, and the number of labor hours spent in Plant D vis-a-vis other plants.
It is then necessary to review these variances as stated in order to explain why Plant D recorded a net loss of $2,000.
I hope that this issue has been clarified.
Regards,
FC

Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $300,000 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,000 hours.
For the year, $322,000 of overhead costs are incurred and 130,000 hours are used.
Required:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year.B) What is the amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st?C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
Answer:
A. $2.40 per Machine hour
B. Underapplied = $10,000
C. cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000 , overheads (credit) $10,000
Explanation:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year
Overhead Rate = Total Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $300,000 / 125,000 Machine hours
= $2.40 per Machine hour.
B) What is the amount of under- or over applied overhead at December 31st?
Under Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads
Over Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads
Actual Overheads = $322,000
Applied Overheads = $2.40 × 130,000 hours = $ 312,000
Underapplied = $10,000
C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000
overheads (credit) $10,000
Answer:
A. The manufacturing overhead rate for the year is $2.40
B. The amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st is $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000
Explanation:
A. To calculate the manufacturing overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead rate=Estimated overhead cost/Estimated machine hours usage
manufacturing overhead rate=$300,000/125,000
manufacturing overhead rate=$2.40
B. To Calculate the amount of under applied or over applied overhead cost we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead cost applied=Total machine hours used*manufacturing overhead rate
manufacturing overhead cost applied=130,000*$2.40
manufacturing overhead cost applied=$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost=Actual manufactured overhead costs-Manufacturing overhead cost applied
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $322,000-$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000

cost allocationClipper Company sells two types of nail clippers. One focuses on the economy oriented customer and the other aims to satisfy the high-end clientele. The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9. The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15. Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880. Economy clippers constitute 70 percent of the market with the remaining 30 percent being high-end clippers. Based on this information what is the total number of clippers that must be sold to earn a $12,420 profit
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 10,500 clippers
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9.
The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15.
Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880.
Sales participation:
Economy clippers= 0.70
High-end= 0.30
Desired profit= $12,420
To calculate the number of clippers to be sold for the company, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= (Total fixed costs + desired profit) / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.7*9 + 0.3*15) - (0.7*5 + 0.3*9)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= $4.6
Break-even point (units)= (35,880 + 12,420) / 4.6
Break-even point (units)= 10,500 clippers
Answer:
Units to be sold to achieve target profit = 10,500 units
Explanation:
The units to be sold to achieve target profit is determined as follows:
Units to be sold to achieve target profit
= (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Average contribution per unit
Economy High-end
Contribution per unit = 9-5=$4 15-9 = $6
Average contribution per unit= ($4× 70%) + (30%×$6) = $4.6
Units to be sold to earn a profit of $12,420
= Fixed cost + Target Profit/Average contribution per unit
= (35,880 + 12,420)/4.6
= 10,500 units
Units to be sold to achieve target profit = 10,500 units
During 2022 Concord Corporation had sales on account of $596000, cash sales of $235000, and collections on account of $342000. In addition, they collected $9200 which had been written off as uncollectible in 2021. As a result of these transactions the change in the accounts receivable balance from the beginning of the year to the end of the year indicates a:_______
Answer:
$254,000
Explanation:
First and foremost,the cash of $9,200 collected in respect of debt already written off as uncollectible would not affect the balance in accounts receivable since the debt would reinstated and also taken out of accounts receivable simultaneously.
The change in accounts is the difference between the sales on account of $596,000 and collections in respect of accounts receivable of $342,000
change in accounts receivable=$596,000-$342,000=$254,000
The Gamer Company is a video game production company that specializes in educational video games for kids. The company’s R&D department is always looking for great ideas for new games. On average, the R&D department generates about 25 new ideas a week. To go from idea to approved product, the idea must pass through the following stages: paper screening (a 1-page document describing the idea and giving a rough sketch of the design), prototype development, testing, and a focus group. At the end of each stage, successful ideas enter the next stage. All other ideas are dropped. The following chart depicts this process, and the probability of succeeding at each stage.
The paper screening for each idea takes 2 hours of a staff member’s time. After that, there is a stage of designing and producing a prototype. A designer spends 4 hours designing the game in a computer-aided-design (CAD) package. The actual creation of the mock-up is outsourced to one of many suppliers with essentially limitless capacity. It takes 4 days to get the prototype programmed, and multiple prototypes can be created simultaneously. A staff member of the testing team needs 2 days to test an idea. Running the focus group takes 2 hours of a staff member’s time per idea, and only one game is tested in each focus group. Finally, the management team meets for 3 hours per idea to decide if the game should go into production.Available working hours for each staff member are 8 hours per day, 5 days a week. The current staffing plan is as follows:A. Paper screening: 3 staff members.B. Design and Production: 4 staff members.C. Testing: 6 staff members.D. Focus Group: 1 staff member.E. Final Decision: 1 management teama. How many new ideas would Gamer Co. approve for production per week if it had unlimited capacity (staff) in its R&D process?b.Which stage is the bottleneck according to the current staffing plan?A. Design and productionB. Focus groupC. TestingD. Paper screeningE. Final decisionc. With the current staffing plan, how many new ideas will be put into production per week?
Answer:
Therefore 13.3 ideas per week
Explanation:
We can use the following method to do the calculations
And we are given
The average number of ideas per week =25
Ideas approved per week = 25×0.6×0.5×0.35×0.75
= 1.968 ideas
b)
The maximum time that will be taking stage is Testing therefore it is the bottleneck base on current staffing plan.
c)
Capacity per hour = number of staff ÷ number of hour
We have capacity per week = Capacity per hour ×5× 8
Demand is lowest of all capacity
= 13.3
Paper screening
Capacity= 3/2=1.5 idea/ hour
= 60 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.22
Design & production
Capacity= 4/4=1 idea/ hour
= 40 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.33
Testing
Capacity= 6/16=0.38 idea/ hour
= 15 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.88
Focus group
Capacity= 1/2=0.5 idea/ hour
= 20 idea per week
Demand =20
Utilization=0.66
Final decision
Capacity= 1/3=0.33 idea/ hour
= 13.3 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=1
Thus 13.3 ideas per week as our answer
Much of the empirical evidence on the behavior of costs for real-world firms suggests that:
A. there is no relationship between the marginal and average variable costs of production.
B. for many firms, marginal and average variable costs are constant over wide ranges of output.
C. average costs functions are U-shaped as suggested by economic theory.
D. for most firms, marginal costs are declining in the range in which the firms operate.
Answer:
B. for many firms, marginal and average variable costs are constant over wide ranges of output.
Explanation:
Traditional Cost Theory : Marginal & Average Variable Cost are U shaped.
Modern theory of cost behaviour for real world firms suggest - 'short run average variable cost (SAVC)' is saucer shape curve, ie flat (constant) stretch over a wide range of output.
Such shape of SAVC is due to 'reserve capacity' of production by firms, to meet up unexpected demand change due to seasonal or consumer taste changes. This reserve capacity prevents the SAVC to rise immediately after falling (as per U shape) & rather sustains it constant for a wide range of output (as a saucer shape)
Consider the following situations for Shocker:
a, On November 28, 2021, Shocker receives a $3,150 payment from a customer for services to be rendered evenly over the next three months. Deferred Revenue is credited.
b. On December 1, 2021, the company pays a local radio station $2,430 for 30 radio ads that were to be aired, 10 per month, throughout December, January, and February. Prepaid Advertising is debited.
c. Employee salaries for the month of December totaling $7,100 will be paid on January 7, 2022.
d. On August 31, 2021, Shocker borrows $61,000 from a local bank. A note is signed with principal and 9% interest to be paid on August 31, 2022.
Required:
1. Record the necessary adjusting entries for Shocker at December 31, 2021. No adjusting entries were made during the year.
Answer:
a.
Dec 31, 2021 Deferred Revenue 1050 Dr
Revenue 1050 Cr
b.
Dec 31, 2021 Advertising Expense 810 Dr
Prepaid Advertising 810 Cr
c.
Dec 31, 2021 Salaries Expense 7100 Dr
Salaries Payable 7100 Cr
d.
Dec 31, 2021 Interest Expense 1830 Dr
Interest Payable 1830 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The revenue is received in advance for December 2021, January and February 2022. At the end of the year, the revenue for December has been earned and will be recorded as revenue and a decrease in liability of deferred revenue.
Revenue December = 3150 / 3 = 1050
b.
The advertisement expenses were paid in advance. On 31 December, the ads for december has been consumed and the expense will be recorded.
Advertising expense december = (2430 / 30) * 10 = 810
c.
The salaries relating to december are accrued and will be paid in January. Thus, an accrual will be recorded against the salaries expense.
d.
The note carries interest that becomes due over the lifetime of the note. The accrual principle matches the revenues and expenses of a particular period. Thus, interest relating to 4 months from September 2021 to December 2021 will be recorded as an expense and a liability in adjusting entry made on 31 december 2021.
Interest expense 2021 = 61000 * 0.09 * 4/12 = 1830
Today is time t. Two zero coupon bonds both have a face value of 100 dollars, which means both bonds are expected to pay $100 at Maturity (time T). Bond A is liquid and is often traded by average institutional investors at zero transaction costs. Bond B is illiquid. Its total direct and indirect trading cost is $5 per trade (either buy or sell). Suppose an average-sized institutional trader who wants to own the two bonds will trade three times in either bond (i.e., first buy it at t, then sell it and buy it back again at some time between t and T). Interest rate for discounting future bond price is zero for both bonds. In other words, everyone in this market is not risk averse. What should be the average trader’s evaluation of the bond A and B price today?
A. 100,90
B. 100,100
C. 100,95
D. 100,85
Answer:
The correct answer is (D) 100,85
Explanation:
Solution:
Two zero coupon bonds both have a face value of = $100
Bond A is liquid and traded by average institutional investors at = 0 transaction costs
Bond B is liquid, with a trading cost of =$5
Now,
As the interest rate for discounting future price is zero, then the Bind price is represented as follows:
Bond price = face value - trading cost
Bond A price = 100 - 3*0 = 100
Bond B price = 100 - 3*5 = 85
Therefore, the average trader's evaluation of the bond A and bond B price today is = 100,85

Value Lodges owns an economy motel chain and is considering building a new 200-unit motel. The cost to build the motel is estimated at $6,800,000; Value Lodges estimates furnishings for the motel will cost an additional $200,000 and will require replacement every 5 years.
Annual operating and maintenance costs for the motel are estimated to be $540,000. The average rental rate for a unit is anticipated to be $25/day. Value Lodges expects the motel to have a life of 15 years and a salvage value of $900,000 at the end of 15 years. This estimated salvage value assumes that the furnishings are not new. Furnishings have no salvage value at the end of each 5-year replacement interval.
Required:
1. Assuming average daily occupancy percentages of 50 percent, 60 percent, 70 percent, and 80 percent for years 1 through 4, respectively, and 90 percent for the fifth through fifteenth years, a MARR of 12 percent/year, 365 operating days/year, and ignoring the cost of land, should the motel be built? Base your decision on an internal rate of return analysis.
Answer:
The motel should not be built because the IRR is 9.31%, which is lower than the company's MARR (12%).
Explanation:
cost to build the new 200 unit motel $6,800,000 + $200,000 = $7,000,000

The number of parking tickets issued in a certain city on any given weekday has a Poisson distribution with parameter = 50.
(a) Calculate the approximate probability that between 35 and 70 tickets are given out on a particular day.
(b) Calculate the approximate probability that the total number of tickets given out during a 5-day week is between 225 and 275.
(c) Use software to obtain the exact probabilities in (a) and (b) and compare to their approximations.
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Calculate the approximate probability that between 35 and 70 tickets are given out on a particular day.
[tex]P(35\leq X\leq 70) =P(34.5\leq X \leq 70.5)[/tex] (using continuity correction)
[tex]=P(\frac{34.5- \mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } \leq \frac{X - \mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } \leq \frac{70.5-\mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } )\\\\=P(\frac{34.5-50}{\sqrt{50} } \leq Z \leq\frac{70.5-50}{\sqrt{50} } \\\\=P(-2.19\leq Z \leq 2.90)\\\\=P(Z\leq 2.90)-P(Z\leq -2.19)[/tex]
= 0.9981 - 0.0143 (using standard normal tables)
= 0.9839
b) Consider [tex]X_t[/tex] is the random variable that represents the number of parking tickets issued in certain city in a 5-day week
The mean number of parking ticket issued in a particular city on 5-day week is
[tex]\mu_t = \mu *t\\\\=5 \times 50 = 250[/tex]
Therefore, the required probability is
[tex]P(225\leq X_t \leq 275)=(224.5\leq X_t\leq 275.5)\\\\=P(\frac{224.5-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } \leq \frac{X_t-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } \leq \frac{275.5-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } )\\\\=P(\frac{224.5-250}{\sqrt{250} } \leq Z \leq \frac{275.5-250}{\sqrt{250} } \\\\=P(-1.61\leq Z\leq 1.61)\\\\=P(Z\leq 1.61)-P(Z\leq -1.61)[/tex]
= 0.9463 - 0.0537 (using standard normal tables)
= 0.8926

Cream and Crimson Foods has a target capital structure of calling for 45.00 percent debt, 4.00 percent preferred stock, and 51.00 percent common equity (retained earnings plus common stock). Its before-tax cost of debt is 12.00 percent. The tax rate is 40.00%. Its cost of preferred stock is 10.41%. Its cost of common equity is 12.38%. Find the WACC for Cream and Crimson Foods
Answer:
9.9702%
Explanation:
After-tax cost of debt=12*(1-tax rate)
= 12* (1-0.4) =7.2%
WACC=Respective cost*Respective weight
=(7.2×0.45)+(10.41×0.04)+(12.38×0.51)
=9.9702%
Answer:
9.9578%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Cream and Crimson foods target a structure capital of calling =5.00%
Stock preferred = 4%
Common equity = 51.00%
Before tax-cost = 12.00%
Rate of tax= 40.00%
preferred stock cost = 10.41%
Now,
After-tax cost of debt=12*(1-tax rate)
=12*(1-0.4)=7.2%
Thus,
The WACC=Respective costs*Respective weight
=(0.45*7.2)+(0.04*10.1)+(0.51*12.38)
=9.9578%
Therefore, the WACC for Cream and Crimson Food is 9.9578%

Determine the inventory turnover for 20Y4 and 20Y3. Round to one decimal place. Inventory Turnover 20Y4 20Y3 b. Determine the days' sales in inventory for 20Y4 and 20Y3. Assume 365 days a year. Round interim calculations and final answers to one decimal place. Days' Sales in Inventory 20Y4 days 20Y3 days
Answer:
Year 2014 Year 2013
a) Inventory Turnover ratio 3.4 times and 3.1 times
b) Number of days' sales in inventory 107.3 days and 117.7 days
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
For Year 2014 :
Average inventory = ($359,160 + $516,840)÷2
= $438,000
Inventory Turnover ratio = $1,489,200÷$438,000
= 3.4 times
For Year 2013 :
Average inventory = ($251,120 + $359,160)÷2
= $305,140
Inventory Turnover ratio = $945,934÷$305,140
= 3.1 times
Number of days' sales in inventory = Number of days in a year ÷ Inventory Turnover ratio
For 2014 = 365÷3.4 = 107.3 days
For 2013 = 365÷3.1 = 117.7 days
In the Heckscher-Ohlin model, when there is international-trade equilibrium:
A. the capital-rich country will charge more for the capital-intensive good than the price paid by the capital-poor country for the capital-intensive good.
B. workers in the capital-rich country will earn more than those in the poor country.
C. the workers in the capital-rich country will earn less than those in the poor country.
D. the capital-rich country will charge less for the capital-intensive good than the price paid by the capital-poor country for the capital-intensive good.
E. the relative price of the capital-intensive good in the capital-rich country will be the same as that in the capital-poor country.
Answer:
E. the relative price of the capital-intensive good in the capital-rich country will be the same as that in the capital-poor country.
Explanation:
Heckscher-Ohlin International Trade theory states that : a country should export the good which uses its abundant resource intensively, & import the good which uses its its scarce resource intensively.
Example : If country 1 is capital abundant, it should export capita intensive good C. And, it should import labour intensive good L from capital abundant country 2.
Implication : Capital abundant (rich) country has low price of capital intensive good, Capital scarce (poor) country has high price of capital intensive good. This provides the rationale of above specialisation export - import benefit
Export of capital intensive good from capital abundant (capital rich) country decreases their domestic supply. This increases their price in exporting country. Import of these goods in capital scarce (capital poor) country increases supply in imported markets. So, it decreases their price in importing country.This happens till relative price of the capital-intensive good in the capital-rich country will be the same as that in the capital-poor country.
At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 14,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 64,000 units and transferred 68,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 10,000 units in inventory, 85% complete as to materials, and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted-average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
Answer:
total equivalent units using weighted average method:
materials = 76,500 unitsconversion = 74,000 unitsExplanation:
beginning inventory 14,000 units
40% complete to materials = 5,600 equivalent units20% complete to conversion = 2,800 equivalent unitsduring the month 64,000 were started
68,000 units were transferred out
ending inventory 10,000 units
85% complete to materials = 8,500 equivalent units60% complete to conversion = 6,000 equivalent unitstotal equivalent units using weighted average method:
materials = units completed and transferred out + ending inventory = 68,000 + 8,500 = 76,500 unitsconversion = units completed and transferred out + ending inventory = 68,000 + 6,000 = 74,000 unitsUse the following to answer the next 4 questions Suppose gold mining in the US was a perfectly competitive industry with N = 40 firms.

The industry is now a monopoly owned by Mr. Barrick $ 70 60 40 30 MC = AC 10 20 30 40 50 60 Q MR 32) The profit Mr. Barrick earns as a monopolist is a. $700 b. $600 c. $900 d. $1000 e. none of the above 33) Before Mr. Barrick monopolized the industry, the total industry output of N = 40 competitive firms was Q = a. 20 b. 30 c. 40 d. 60 e. none of the above 34) After monopolization price per unit increased by a. 20 b. 30 c. 40 d. 60 e. none of the above 35) What is the extent of inefficiency (DWL = loss of total surplus) as a result of monopolization of what used to be a competitive industry? a. 450 b. 400 c. 500 d. 350 e. none of the above
Answer:
32) - Option c i.e., $900.
33) - Option d i.e., 60.
34) - Option d i.e., 60.
35) - Option a i.e., $450.
Explanation:
32) - Mr. Barrick 's income as a corporation is $900.
Then, we apply the formula of profit maximization that is :
[tex]Profit = quantity \times (price - AC)[/tex]
[tex]=30\times(60-30)[/tex]
[tex]=30\times30=900[/tex]
[tex]Profit=\$900[/tex]
33) - While Mr. Barrick controlled the market, the total manufacturing production of N = 40 competitive companies was Q = 60.
In a reasonably marketplace, companies can sell where the marginal cost remains equivalent to the demand curve or that MC remains equivalent to the demand curve at 60.
34) - After the monopoly cost per unit raised by $60.
Price as well as quantity shall be determined by the monopoly where MR = MC. Price is determined mostly on demand curve relating to that same points where MR = MC has been 60 as well and the quantities are determined also on the y-axis that is 30.
35) - [tex]DWL(Dead\;Weight\;Loss) =\frac{1}{2} \times(60-30)\times(60-30)[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{2} \times30\times30[/tex]
