What is the present value of a 10-year annuity of $3,000 per period in which payments come at the beginning of each period
Answer: $18984.9
Explanation:
Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the interest rate. Let's assume that the interest rate is 12%.
Therefore, the present value will be:
= 3000 + 3000[1 - (1 + 0.12)^-10+1] / 0.12
= 3000 + (3000 × 5.3283)
= 3000 + 15984.9
= 18984.9
Therefore, the present value is $18984.9
Calaveras Tire exchanged equipment for two pickup trucks. The book value and fair value of the equipment given up were $34,000 (original cost of $86,000 less accumulated depreciation of $52,000) and $45,000, respectively. Assume Calaveras paid $6,000 in cash and the exchange lacks commercial substance. At what amount will Calaveras value the pickup trucks? How much gain or loss will the company recognize on the exchange?
Answer:
1. $51,000
2.$11,000 Gain
Explanation:
(1) Calculation to determine At what amount will Calaveras value the pickup trucks
Using this formula
Trucks value =Fair value + Cash paid
Let plug in the formula
Trucks value=$45,000+$6,000
Trucks value=$51,000
Therefore Calaveras value the pickup trucks at $51,000
(2) Calculation to determine How much gain or loss will the company recognize on the exchange
Using this formula
Gain or loss on exchange =Fair value - Book value
Let plug in the formula
Gain or loss on exchange=$45,000-$34,000
Gain or loss on exchange=$11,000 Gain
Therefore the company will $11,000 GAIN recognize on the exchange

Explanation:
In a safety stock problem where both demand and lead time are variable, demand averages 150 units per day with a daily standard deviation of 16, and lead time averages 5 days with a standard deviation of 1 day. What is the standard deviation of demand during lead time
Answer: 154 units
Explanation:
Standard deviation of demand during lead time = √[(Mean lead time * Standard deviation of demand ²) + (Mean demand * standard deviation of lead time²)]
= √ [ ( 5 * 16²) + (150² * 1²)]
= √[ 1,280 + 22,500]
= 154.20765
= 154 units
You have decided to invest in two bonds. Bond X is an n-year bonod with semiannual coupons, while bond Y is zero-coupon bond, which is re- deemable in 2 years. The desired yield rate is the same for both bonds. You also have the following information:
Bond X:
Par value is 1000.
The ratio of the semi-annual bond rate to the desired semi-annual yield rate, that is is r/i 1.03125.
b. The present value of the redemption amount is 381.50.
Bond Y:
Redemption value is the same as that of bond X.
Price to yield is 647.80.
What is the price of bond X?
Answer:
The price of the bond X is 1055.09.
Explanation:
The price of Bond X can be determined as follows:
Let:
R = Present value of the Redemption amount of X and Y
i = yield of both Bond X and Bond Y
For Bond X, we have:
381.5 = R / (1+i)n ………………… (1)
For Bond Y, we have:
647.80. = R/(1+i)(n/2) ……………….. (2)
Use equation (2) to divide equation (1), we have:
381.5/647.8 = 1/ (1+i)(n/2) ……………………….. (3)
0.588916332201297= 1/ (1+i)(n/2)
(1+i)(n/2) = 1 / 0.588916332201297
(1+i)(n/2) = 1.69803407601573
647.80 = R / 1.69803407601573
R = 647.80 * 1.69803407601573 = 1,099.99, or 1,100
Now, also let:
r = coupon rate of Bond X
P= present value of Cash flows of Bond X
Therefore, we have:
P = 1000 * (r/2) / (1+i)0.5 + 1000*(r/2)/ (1+i)1+....+1000 * (r/2) /(1+i)n+ 1100/(1+i)n
It can be observed that we have 2n terms indicating present value of 2n semiannual coupon payments and last term is present value of Redemption amount.
Applying GP formula, we have:
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1- (1+i)-n) / ((1+i)(1/2) -1) + 1100 * (1+i)-n
Looking at equation (3), we it can be observed that we can have:
(1+i)-(n/2) = 381.5/647.8 = 0.588916
Therefore, we have:
(1+i)-n = 0.5889162= 0.346822
By employing the Binomial approximation, we have:
(1+i)(1/2)= 1+i/2+... very small terms = 1 + i/2
This indicates that:
(1+i)(1/2)-1 = i/2
If we substitute this into the price equation, we will have
P = 1000 *(r/2) * (1-0.346822) / ( i/2) + 1100 * 0.346822 = 1000 * (r/i) * 0.653178 + 381.504
Since r/i = 1.03125, we have:
P = 653.178 * 1.03125 + 381.504 = 1055.09
Therefore, the price of the bond X is 1055.09.

Its inventory turnover was 6.0 times during the year. and its DSO was 41days. Its annual cost of goods sold was $1,800,000. The firm had fixed assets $535,000, its payable deferral period is 45 days. Calculate Excel technology's cash conversion cycle
Answer:
56.83 days
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Excel technology's cash conversion cycle
First step is to determine the Days inventory outstanding
Days inventory outstanding = 365 / Inventory turnover
Days inventory outstanding= 365 /6.0
Days inventory outstanding= 60.83 days
Now let determine the Cash conversion cycle
Cash conversion cycle = Days inventory outstanding + Days sales outstanding - Days payable outstanding
Cash conversion cycle=60.83 + 41 - 45
Cash conversion cycle=56.83 days
Therefore Excel technology's cash conversion cycle is 56.83 days

Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.
$
Answer and Explanation:
The calculation is given below:
Fabricating department
The budgeted cost is
= $9,280 ÷ 640 hours × 600 hours + $2,300
= $8,700 + $2,300
= $11,000
Grinding department
= $159,600 ÷ 7,600 hours × 9,500 hours + $56,000
= $199,500 + $56,000
= $255,500
In this way the budgeted cost should be determined

Joan Martin expects interest rates to decline over the next few months.To achieve her long-term financial goals,she will trade off liquidity for a higher return by using a:_________.
A) regular savings account.
B) interest-bearing checking account.
C) five-year certificate of deposit.
D) money market account.
E) money market fund.
Answer: C. Five year certificate of deposit.
Explanation:
A certificate of deposit refers to a savings account whereby a fixed amount of money is being held for a fixed period of time, and interest is earned on it.
Since Joan Martin expects interest rates to decline over the next few months, in order to achieve her long-term financial goals, then she will trade off liquidity for a higher return by using a five year certificate of deposit. Here, the liquidity is low when it's compared to that of the regular savings account.

Answer: current liability for any portion due within one year
Explanation:
Notes payable are referred to as the written agreements whereby one party agrees to pay the other party a certain amount of money.
It should be noted that on the balance sheet, notes payable will appear as liabilities. In a situation when the amount is due within a year, then it's considered to be current liabilities while it's regarded as a long-term liability when it's more than a year,
It should be noted that a five-year note payable would appear on the balance sheet as current liability for any portion due within one year.

d. Customers may not be willing to pay the price determined by the procedure
Russell Preston delivers parts for several local auto parts stores. He charges clients $0.75 per mile driven. Russell has determined that if he drives 3,000 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.55 per mile. If he drives 4,000 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.50 per mile. Russell has used the high-low method to determine that his monthly cost equation is total cost = $600 + $0.35 per mile.
Required:
1. Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even k-Even Miles Miles.
2. Assume Russell drove 1,800 miles last month. Without making any additional calculations, determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month.
3. Determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $1,000 in profit.
Answer:
Russell Preston
1. The miles Russell needs to drive to break even is:
= 1,500 miles.
2. If Russel drove 1,800 miles last month, he earned a profit.
3. To earn a profit of $1,000, the miles Russell must drive are:
= 4,000 miles
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per mile driven = $0.75
Average operating cost for driving 3,000 miles = $0.55 per mile
Total operating cost for 3,000 miles = $1,650 ($3,000 * $0.55)
Average operating cost for driving 4,000 miles = $0.50 per mile
Total operating for 4,000 miles = $2,000 (4,000 * $0.50)
Total cost function = $600 + $0.35 per mile using the high-low method
Variable cost per mile = $0.35
Fixed cost per month = $600
Contribution margin per mile = $0.40 ($0.75 - $0.35)
Contribution margin ratio = 0.5333
To break-even, Russel must drive = $600/$0.40 = 1,500 miles
At this mileage, his total costs = $1,125 ($600 + $0.35 * 1,500)
At this mileage, his total revenue = $1,125 ($0.75 * 1,500)
To earn a profit of $1,000, Russell must drive = ($600 + $1,000)/$0.40
= 4,000 miles
