Answer: KWD; $99474 avoided
Explanation:
From the question, we're informed that the buyer was aware that the KWD had strengthened against the USD since 2003 coupled with the fact that KWD is a floating currency, it'll have been better if the contract was written in KWD as this will mean lesser money is paid.
Since 1 USD = 0.2816 KWD, and has been predicted to reduce to 1 USD = 0.265, the company would save:
= $1,588,000 × (0.2816-0.265)/0.265
= ($1,588,000 × 0.0166)/0.265
= $26360.8/0.265
= $ 99474
Tammi’s Truck Stop sells Seat-o-Nails cushions, which are specially designed to keep drivers awake on the road. Her accessories supplier makes deliveries every Tuesday, at which times she can get as many cushions as she wants (the supplier’s truck carries a large number of cushions). The cushions cost $40 wholesale, and Tammi sells them for $65. She also uses a 35 percent interest rate to evaluate the cost of holding inventory. Today it is Tuesday, Tammi has 12 cushions in stock, and the supplier has just arrived. Assuming that the weekly demand is normally distributed with mean 35 and standard deviation 10, answer the questions below. (hint: use newsvendor model)How many cushions should Tammi buy if sales are lost when she runs out of stock during the week?Reconsider part (a) if unmet demand is not lost but it is back ordered, and it costs Tammi $12 to mail the cushion to the customer.
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) The cost of underage(Cu) will be the opportunity cost for lost sales which will be:
= 65 - 40
= 25
The cost of overage(Co) will be the holding cost which will be:
= 40 x 35%/52
= 40 × 0.35/52
= 40 × 0.0067308
= 0.269
The Critical ratio will be:
= Cu/(Cu + Co)
= 25/(0.269+25)
= 0.9894
For the optimal condition,
F(z) = Critical ratio = 0.9894,
therefore, z = normsinv (0.9894) = 2.30
Therefore, the optimal stock will be calculated as:
= Mean demand + (z × Stdev)
= 35 + (2.30 × 10)
= 35 + 23
= 58 units.
We should note that Tammi already has 12 cushions in stock, therefore the order quantity will be:
= 58 - 12
= 46 units
(b) Cu = 12
Co = 0.269
Critical ratio will be:
= Cu/(Co + Cu)
= 12 / (12 + 0.269)
= 0.9781
Therefore, z = normsinv(0.9781) = 2.0
Then, the optimal stock will be:
= 35 + (2.0 × 10)
= 35+20
= 55 units
We should note that Tammi already has 12 cushions in stock, therefore the order quantity will be:
= 55 - 12
= 43 units

The following incomplete (columns have missing amounts) pension spreadsheet is for the current year for First Republic Corporation (FRC). ($ in millions) Debit(Credit) PBO Plan Assets Prior Service Cost Net (Gain)/Loss Pension Expense Cash Net Pension (Liability)/ Asset Beginning balance (820 ) 40 (102 ) Service cost 74 Interest cost 41 Expected return on assets 80 Gain/loss on assets (2 ) Amortization of: Prior service cost (8 ) Net gain/loss 3 Loss on PBO (9 ) Contributions to fund (57 ) Retiree benefits paid (77 ) Ending balance 825 (93 ) What was the net pension asset/liability reported in the balance sheet at the end of the year
Answer: Net Pension liability of $42 million
Explanation:
Net Pension Asset (Liability) = Ending Plan Assets - Ending PBO
Ending PBO = Beginning PBO + Service Cost + Interest cost + Loss on PBO - Retiree benefits paid
= 820 + 74 + 41 + 9 - 77
= $867
Net Pension Assets (Liability) = 825 - 867
= -$42 million

2. Jack sold a baseball card collection for $2,500 that he bought a year ago for $2,500. He says, "At least I didn't lose any money on my investment in this baseball card." His economist friend points out that in effect he did lose money because he could have received a 3 percent return on the $2,500, which is $75, if he had deposited the money in a bank. The economist's analysis in this case incorporates the idea of: A. opportunity costs among alternatives, which is $75 here. B. opportunity costs among alternatives, which is $2575 here. C. marginal costs that exceed marginal benefits. D. marginal benefits that exceed marginal costs.
Answer:
The economist's analysis in this case incorporates the idea of:
A. opportunity costs among alternatives, which is $75 here.
Explanation:
Jack's economist friend is right that Jack lost $75, which represents a 3% return on the $2,500 if Jack had invested it in a bank deposit instead of baseball card. The opportunity cost is, therefore, this potential benefit which Jack has missed or lost because of Jack's choice of investment.

Jacob is a participant in JJ's defined benefit plan. Jacob is 37 years old and earns $160,000. He has 4 years of service for purposes of the plan and has worked at the firm for 5 years. The plan provides a benefit of 1.5% for each year of participation. The plan has the least generous vesting schedule possible. Almost 70 percent of the accrued benefits are attributable to the fifteen equal owners, who have all been working at the company for decades. If Jacob were to leave today, what percent of his salary (as defined by the plan) could he expect to receive at normal retirement? a. 3.6%. b. 4.8%. c. 6.0%. d. 6.4%.
Answer:
d. 6.4%.
Explanation:
Even though 70% of the benefits are allocated to 15 key employees (and also co-owners), non-key employees must receive a minimum benefit.
This minimum benefit = 2% x the number of years in service (for the purpose of the plan) = 2% x 4 = 8%. But this minimum benefit is reduced depending on the % of vesting which in this case = 4 years /5 years = 0.8.
total benefit = 8% x 0.8 = 6.4%
Exercise 5-8 Equivalent Units; Cost per Equivalent Unit; Assigning Costs to Units-Weighted-Average Method [LO5-2, LO5-3, LO5-4] Helix Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It produces prefabricated flooring in a series of steps carried out in production departments. All of the material that is used in the first production department is added at the beginning of processing in that department. Data for May for the first production department follow: Percent Complete Units Materials Conversion Work in process inventory, May 1 70,000 100 % 40 % Work in process inventory, May 31 50,000 100 % 25 % Materials cost in work in process inventory, May 1 $ 56,100 Conversion cost in work in process inventory, May 1 $ 16,400 Units started into production 255,000 Units transferred to the next production department 275,000 Materials cost added during May $ 112,900 Conversion cost added during May $ 236,600 Required: 1.

Compute the first production department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May. 3. Compute the first production department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May. 4. Compute the first production department's cost of the units transferred to the next production department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
Answer:
1. Calculate the first production department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.
materials = 275,000 + 50,000 = 325,000conversion = 275,000 + 12,500 = 287,5002. Compute the first production department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.
materials = $169,000 / 325,000 = $0.52conversion = $253,000 / 287,500 = $0.883. Compute the first production department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
materials = 50,000 x $0.52 = $26,000conversion = 12,500 x $0.88 = $11,000total = $37,0004. Compute the first production department's cost of the units transferred to the next production department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
materials = 275,000 x $0.52 = $143,000conversion = 275,000 x $0.88 = $242,000total = $385,000Explanation:
Beginning WIP 70,000 units
materials $56,100
conversion $16,400
Ending WIP 50,000 units
100% completed for materials (50,000 EU)

Answer:
(1) $33,696, $5,308.8, $39,004.8
(2) $321,360, $113,918, $435,278
Explanation:
(1) The cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion and in total can be calculated as follows
Materials:
2160 × 15.6
= $33,696
Conversion:
960 × 5.53
= $5,308.8
Total:
$5,308.8 + $33,696
= $39,004.8
(2) The cost of units completed and transferred out for materials, conversion and total can be calculated as follows
Materials:
20,600 × 15.6
= $321,360
Conversion:
20,600 × 5.53
= $113,918
Total:
$20,600 × 21.13
= $435,278
Eastern Motors Auto Dealership wanted to estimate the average CLV over a 5 year time horizon of a customer who purchases a new vehicle. The average vehicle sells for $25,500 and has a margin of 9%. Based on historical averages, 81% of people buying a new vehicle at Eastern will return for service 8 times over the next 5 years. Though it varies considerably, Eastern generates approximately $122 in margin on each service visit after accounting for parts and direct labor costs. What would be the value of a service loyalty program that increased the average number of visits by 2 (over 5 years) and increased the probability that a new vehicle purchaser would return for service by 5 percentage points (e.g. from 75% to 80%) on a per customer basis
Answer:
the average profit from selling a car = $25,500 x 9% = $2,295
the average profit from providing 1 service = $122
customer lifetime value = (Annual profit per customer x customer relationship in years) - customer acquisition cost
the current CLV = $2,295 + ($122 x 8 x 81%) = $3,085.56
if you are able to increase the probability of using the company's maintenance services by 5% (from 815 to 86%), then the new CLV = $2,295 + ($122 x 8 x 86%) = $3,134.36
the difference = $3,134.36 - $3,085.56 = $48.80
Theoretically, you can spend up to $48.80 in the service loyalty program. But this analysis is incomplete, since providing a good service should also increase the possibility of selling a new car to the same customer after 5 years. This should extend the customer relationship for many years. E.g. that has been a major factor in the success of Honda and Toyota.
The marketing manager at a local chain supermarket is testing the effectiveness of four advertising strategies (Factor A) on sales, and runs the advertising over a two-week period. It is suspected that sales also differs by store locations because of differing customer traffic; therefore, the stores were blocked on location (Factor B). The manager wants to understand how sales depends upon advertising strategy and location using a two-way ANOVA without interaction. The sales (in $1000s), along with column, row, and overall means, are displayed below. How many degrees of freedom are there for factors A and B, respectively
Answer:
Option B (11) seems to be the correct response.
Explanation:
The given question is incomplete. Please find attachment of the complete query.
As we know, from the given output or outcome
i.e., N = 12
Factor A = 4
Factor B = 3
∴ [tex]4\times 3=12[/tex]
The total degree of freedom will be:
⇒ [tex]N-1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]12-1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]11[/tex]
All other suggestions made were never appropriate for the question issued. So, the right approach is "11."
The Reynolds Corporation buys from its suppliers on terms of 2/12, net 45. Reynolds has not been utilizing the discounts offered and has been taking 45 days to pay its bills. Ms. Duke, Reynolds Corporation's vice president, has suggested that the company begin to take the discounts offered. Duke proposes that the company borrow from its bank at a stated rate of 16 percent. The bank requires a 11 percent compensating balance on these loans. Current account balances would not be available to meet any of this compensating balance requirement.
Required:
a. Calculate the cost of not taking a cash discount.
b. Calculate the Effective rate of interest if the company borrow from the bank.
Answer:
A. 22.56%
B. 17.97%
Explanation:
a. Calculation for the cost of not taking a cash discount.
Cost of not taking cash discount = ( 2% / 98% )* ( 365 / (45 - 12) )
Cost of not taking cash discount=0.0204*365/33
Cost of not taking cash discount=7.446/33
Cost of not taking cash discount=0.2256*100
Cost of not taking cash discount= 22.56%
Therefore the Cost of not taking cash discount will be 22.56%
b. Calculation for the rate of interest if the company borrow from the bank.
Annual rate of interest = 16% / (1- 11%)
Annual rate of interest = 0.16/0.89
Annual rate of interest = 0.1797*100
Annual rate of interest = 17.97%
Therefore the rate of interest if the company borrow from the bank will be 17.97%

Answer:
7.77%
Explanation:
The profit margin is the quotient between net income and sales
Profit margin = Net income / Sales
Net income = $127,500
Sales = $1,640,000
Net profit margin = 7.77%
The above means that the firm achieves 7.77% net income from every dollar of sales.
Given the information on the Phoenix corporation, the profit margin used to calculate return on assets for 20X2 was 7.78%.
How to calculate returns on assetThe profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by sales.
From the condensed financial data, we know that net income for 20X2 was $127,500 and sales were $1,640,000.
Profit margin = Net income / Sales
= $127,500 / $1,640,000
= 0.0778
Multiply by 100 to express the result as a percentage
Profit margin = 7.78%
Therefore, the profit margin used to calculate return on assets for 20X2 was 7.78%.

What must their annuity (A) be in order to make it to their vacation if the interest rate is 8.25% compounded weekly.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly saving= $200
Future value= $9,384.44
Number of years= 3
a) To calculate the Future Value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {2,400*[(1.11^3) - 1]} / 0.11
FV= $8,021.04
b) To calculate the semiannual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= semiannual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
i= 0.15/2= 0.075
n= 3*2= 6
A= (9,384.44*0.075) / [(1.075^6) - 1]
A= $1,295.47
c) i= 0.1375/4= 0.0344
n= 3*4= 12
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= quarterly deposit
A= (9,384.44*0.0344) / [(1.0344^12) - 1]
A= $644.89
d) i= 0.115/12= 0.0096
n= 3*12= 36
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= monthly deposit
A= (9,384.44*0.0096) / [(1.0096^36) - 1]
A= $219.46
e) i=0.0825/52= 0.0016
n= 3*52= 156
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= weekly deposit

Desk Lamps - 8,000 units 16,000 8,000 24,000
Using the following information prepared by the Nite Lite Company, determine the total factory overhead rate to be charged to desk lamps.
Activity Pool Activity Base Budgeted Amount
Set-ups 20,000 $60,000
Inspections 24,000 $120,000
Assembly (DLH) 28,000 $420,000
a. $380,000
b. $184,000
c. $152,000
d. $448,000
Answer:
Total allocated overhead= $448,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Set-ups= 60,000/20,000= $3 per setup
Inspections= 120,000/24,000= $5 per inspection
Assembly (DLH)= 420,000/28,000= $15 per direct albor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Desk Lamps:
Set-ups= 3*16,000= $48,000
Inspections= 5*8,000= $40,000
Assembly (DLH)= 15*24,000= $360,000
Total overhead= $448,000

On January 1, you plan to take a trip around the world upon graduation four years from now. Your grandmother wants to deposit sufficient funds for this trip in an investment account for you. On the basis of a budget, you estimate that the trip currently would cost $15,000. Being the generous and sweet lady she is, your grandmother decided to deposit $3,500 in the fund at the end of each of the next four years, starting on December 31, 2018. The account will earn 6 percent annual interest, which will be added to the account at each year-end.
Required:
How much interest revenue did the fund earn in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018?
Answer:
nterest earned for year 1 is zero because the investment made is at the end of the year
Interest earned for year 2 is $210
Interest earned for year 3 is $433
Interest earned for year 4 is $669
Explanation:
We will use the annuity formula to compute the net interest earned for the next 4 years.
Annuity Value = Present Value * Annuity Factor
Here
Annuity factor = [1 - (1 + r)^-n] / r
r is 6%
n is 4 years
The present value is $3500
By putting above values in the equation we have:
Annuity Value = $3500 * [1 - (1 + 6%)^-4] / 6%
= $3500 * 4.374616 = $15,311.156
This is the annuity value of the yearly investment of $3500 for 4 consecutive years.
The interest portion = $15,311.156 - ($3500 * 4) = $1,311.156
Interest earned for year 1 is zero because the investment made is at the end of the year
Interest earned for year 2 = ($3500 * (1.06)) - $3500 = $210
Interest earned for year 3 = ($3500 * (1.06)^2) - $3500) = $433
Interest earned for year 4 = ($3500 * (1.06)^3) - $3500 = $669
Answer:
nterest earned for year 1 is zero because the investment made is at the end of the year
Interest earned for year 2 is $210
Interest earned for year 3 is $433
Interest earned for year 4 is $669

Discuss briefly how each of the following changes would affect the natural rate of unemployment.
a. Schools operate for the full year, so no students are looking for summer work.
b. The Internet lists all the jobs available in the whole country, so it is easier for job seekers to locate potential jobs.
c. People who quit their jobs are drafted into low-wage community-service jobs.
d. In addition to unemployment insurance, the unemployed receive a bonus for finding new jobs; the bonus is greater if the job is found in the first few weeks of search and declines with the duration of search.
Answer:
a. Schools operate for the full year, so no students are looking for summer work.
This will cause that the total labor force decreases, so the natural rate of unemployment will decrease. The natural rate of unemployment includes only structural and frictional unemployment. Since no students will look for summer jobs, then frictional unemployment will decrease, therefore, total natural unemployment will decrease also.
b. The Internet lists all the jobs available in the whole country, so it is easier for job seekers to locate potential jobs.
This will help to decrease structural unemployment which will in turn decrease the natural rate of unemployment. Structural unemployment happens when an unemployed individual cannot find a job that fits his/her skills. Internet job postings will make it easier for unemployed people to find jobs that match their skills.
c. People who quit their jobs are drafted into low-wage community-service jobs.
This should reduce frictional unemployment (which reduces the natural rate of unemployment), since frictional unemployment is made up of people that quit their jobs in order to search a better job or are looking for their first job ever. If people realize that quitting their current jobs will result in them being drafted into low wage jobs, less people will quit their jobs. This doesn't mean that they will stop searching for a better, it means that they will continue searching for a better while still employed.
d. In addition to unemployment insurance, the unemployed receive a bonus for finding new jobs; the bonus is greater if the job is found in the first few weeks of search and declines with the duration of search.
This should motivate people to get any available job as quick as possible. Sometimes a person that is fired will not accept possible jobs because they consider that they can get a better job, so they decide to wait until they get the job that they want. If a bonus is given, a lot of people will be motivated to accept any new job that they can find as long as it allows them to collect the bonus. This doesn't mean that they will quit looking for their dram job or the job that they deserve, it means that they will be working while doing so. This should decrease the natural rate of unemployment.
Exercise 6A-1 High-Low Method [LO6-10] The Cheyenne Hotel in Big Sky, Montana, has accumulated records of the total electrical costs of the hotel and the number of occupancy-days over the last year. An occupancy-day represents a room rented for one day. The hotel's business is highly seasonal, with peaks occurring during the ski season and in the summer. Month Occupancy-Days Electrical Costs January 1,736 $ 4,127 February 1,904 $ 4,207 March 2,356 $ 5,083 April 960 $ 2,857 May 360 $ 1,871 June 744 $ 2,696 July 2,108 $ 4,670 August 2,406 $ 5,148 September 840 $ 2,691 October 124 $ 1,588 November 720 $ 2,454 December 1,364 $ 3,529 Required: 1. Using the high-low method, estimate the fixed cost of electricity per month and the variable cost of electricity per occupancy-day. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your Variable cost answer to 2 decimal places and Fixed cost element answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) 2. What other factors in addition to occupancy-days are likely to affect the variation in electrical costs from month to month
Answer:
1) variable cost = $1.56 per day
fixed costs = $1,395 per month
2) another aspect that increases or decreases electrical consumption is the weather. During very hot days, more people use the air conditioner, which increases electricity costs. Very cold weather will result in a similar increase in electric consumption.
Explanation:
Month Occupancy-Days Electrical Costs
January 1,736 $ 4,127
February 1,904 $ 4,207
March 2,356 $ 5,083
April 960 $ 2,857
May 360 $ 1,871
June 744 $ 2,696
July 2,108 $ 4,670
August 2,406 $ 5,148
September 840 $ 2,691
October 124 $ 1,588
November 720 $ 2,454
December 1,364 $ 3,529
variable cost = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity level - lowest activity level) = ($5,148 - $1,588) / (2,406 - 124) = $1.56 per day
fixed costs = $5,148 - ($1.56 x 2,406) = $1,395
Isaac Inc. began operations in January 2021. For some property sales, Isaac recognizes income in the period of sale for financial reporting purposes. However, for income tax purposes, Isaac recognizes income when it collects cash from the buyer's installment payments.
In 2021, Isaac had $653 million in sales of this type. Scheduled collections for these sales are as follows:
2021 $70 million
2022 128 million
2023 126 million
2024 156 million
2025 173 million
$653 million
Assume that Isaac has a 25% income tax rate and that there were no other differences in income for financial statement and tax purposes. Ignoring operating expenses and additional sales in 2022 what deferred tax liability would Isaac report in its year-end 2022 balance sheet?
Answer:
$146 million
Explanation:
Calculation for the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report
Using this formula
Deferred tax liability=Total future taxable income × Tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Deferred tax liability=($653 million- $70 million) *25%
Deferred tax liability=$583 million *25%
Deferred tax liability=$145.75 million approximately $146 million
Therefore the deferred tax liability that Isaac would report will be $146 million

Bill Buckely has split-limit 100/200/40 automobile liability insurance on his 2012 Subaru. Driving home from work in a snowstorm, he hit a Mercedes, slid into a guardrail, and knocked down a telephone pole. Damages to the Mercedes, the guardrail, and the telephone pole were $33,428, $7,422, and $12,041 respectively. How much will Bill's insurance company pay? How much will Bill be required to pay directly? Bill's insurance company will pay $nothing. (Round to the nearest dollar.) The amount Bill will be required to pay directly is $nothing. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Bill's insurance company will pay $40,000The amount Bill will be required to pay directly is $12,891Explanation:
A Split limit works thus;
The first figure which is 100 is the maximum amount that will be paid per one injured person.
The second figure is 200 and it is the maximum amount that will be paid out for all injured persons.
The third which is 40 is the maximum amount the insurance will pay out for property damage.
Bear in mind that all these figures are in thousands.
The damages to all the property involved is = 33,428 + 7,422 + 12,041
= $52,891
The Insurance company will therefore payout the maximum amount of $40,000.
The rest will be paid by Bill which is = 52,891 - 40,000
= $12,891
