What is a flexible Budget?

Budgets which are flexible can be changed to reflect changes in revenue and expenses during the fiscal year, taking into account anticipated unpredictability is known as Flexible budget. Companies first take into consideration expected fixed costs, or at least those that they don't anticipate changing as the year goes on.

Answers

Answer:

b. $1.76 per bouquet.

Explanation:

Wages and Salaries cost is 143,000

Other expenses is 60,000

Making bouquet activity allocations :

Wages and Salaries 143,000 * 55% = 78650

Other expenses 60,000 * 40% = 24,000

Total is 102,650

number of bouquets is 58,325

102,650 / 58,325 = 1.76 per bouquets.

The cost of making each bouquet is approximately $1.76 per bouquet.

Answers

Answer:

C) −$0.20

Explanation:

Stock Price (So) = $29.15,  Po = $1.05

Initial outflow = So + Po = $29.15 + $1.05

Initial outflow = $30.20

Strike Price (k)  $30

Stock price at maturity (St) = $28

Payoff = max(k-st,0)

Payoff = max(30-28,0)

Payoff = max(2,0)

Payoff = $2

The stock on maturity is sold in the market for $28.

Total inflow = Payoff + Stock price on maturity

Total inflow = $2 + $28

Total inflow = $30

Profit = Total inflow - Initial outflow

Profit = $30 - $30.20

Profit = -$0.20

Answers

Complete Question:

Two new rides are being compared by a local amusement park in terms of their annual operating costs. The two rides are assumed to be able to generate the same level of revenue (and thus the focus on costs). The Tummy Tugger has fixed costs of $10,000 per year and variable costs of $2.50 per visitor. The Head Buzzer has fixed costs of $4000 per year, and variable costs of $4 per visitor. Provide answers to the following questions so the amusement park can make the needed comparison.

Requirement:

Mathematically determine the breakeven number of visitors per year for the two rides to have equal annual costs.

Answer:

4000 visitors

Explanation:

As we know that:

Total Annual Cost  = Variable Cost Per Unit * Total Units    +  Fixed Costs

For Tummy Tugger,

Variable Cost per Unit is $2.5 per visitor

Total Units are not given so we assume it to be "x"

Fixed cost is $10,000

By putting values we have:

Total Annual Cost  = $2.50x + $10,000 ........ Equation 2

Similarly for Head Buzzer,

Variable Cost per Unit is $4 per visitor

Total Units are not given so we assume it to be "x"

Fixed cost is $4,000

By putting values we have:

Total Annual Cost  = $4x + $4,000 .......... Equation 3

As per the requirement, the annual cost for both of the rides is same for the year, which means that Equation 2 is equal to Equation 3.

Mathematically,

2.50x + 10000 = $4x + 4000

$10,000 - $4,000 = $4x - $2.5x

$6,000 = $1.5x

x= $6,000 / $1.5 per unit   = 4,000 Units

At 4000 visitors for a year, the annual cost of both rides is the same.

Answers

Answer:

i. Deferred income taxes balance on  December 2019 is $192,500

ii. Deferred tax asset.

Explanation:

Year   Tax purpose   Book purpose   Difference   Deferred tax book

2017      $400,000          $0                $400,000        $140,000

2018      $625,000     $375,000         $250,000        $87,500

2019      $750,000     $850,000        ($100,000)        ($35,000)

Deferred tax asset balance on  December 2019 =   $192,500

Working

Deferred tax book

2017 = 400,000 * 35% =  $140,000

2018 = 250,000 * 35% = $87,500

2019 = (100,000) * 35% = ($35,000)

ii. Book income is less than tax income in 2017 and 2018. Deferred tax asset would be accounted. Book income is higher than tax income in 2019. Deferred tax asset would be reverse (i.e. deferred tax liability). Balance at the end of December 31, 2019 would be Deferred tax asset.

Suppose that the government is currently in a recession and elected officials have reached a conclusion that fiscal stimulus is needed. A new fiscal stimulus law (that was just passed) will involve spending $150 billion. Economists have informed you that the spending multiplier in the economy is 2.5 What is the total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus?

Answers

Answer:

The total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus is $375 billion.

Explanation:

In macroeconomics, a sending multiplier refers to a propositional factor that has a primary function of measuring the extent of the effect of a change in gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of a change in expenditure.

In order to determine the total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus, we just need to obtain the product of the spending and multiplier as follows:

Total macroeconomic impact = Spending * spending multiplier ............ (1)

Where;

Spending = $150 billion

Spending multiplier = 2.5

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Total macroeconomic impact = $150 billion * 2.5 = $375 billion

Therefore, the total macroeconomic impact of the fiscal stimulus is $375 billion.

Summerdahl Resort's common stock is currently trading at $39.00 a share. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 a share at the end of the year (D1 = $3.00), and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. What is its cost of common equity?

Answers

The question is incorrect as the dividend at the end of the year is given at $1.5 which is also the D1. So the correct question is,

Summerdahl Resort's common stock is currently trading at $39.00 a share. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 a share at the end of the year (D1 = $1.50), and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year. What is its cost of common equity?

Answer:

The cost of common equity is 8.85%

Explanation:

The constant growth model of DDM values a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate indefinitely. The model calculates the value of the stock today based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

P0 is price todayD1 is the dividend expected at the end of the year or Year 1r is the cost of equityg is the growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the values for all the available variables, we can calculate the value of r.

39 = 1.5 / (r - 0.05)

39 * (r - 0.05) = 1.5

39r - 1.95 = 1.5

39r = 1.5 + 1.95

r = 3.45 / 39

r = 0.08846 or 8.846% rounded off to 8.85%

Assume the spot Swiss franc is $0.7000 and the six-month forward rate is $0.6950. What is the minimum price that a six-month American call option with a strik-ing price of $0.6800 should sell for in a rational market

Answers

Answer:

2 cents

Explanation:

The spot price = $0.7000 = 70 cents, The forward rate = $0.6950 = 69.5 cents and the call option with striking price = $0.6800 = 68.00 cents

The annualized six month rate = 3 1/2 % = 3.5 %, therefore the rate = r/n, where n is the number of period per year = 2. Therefore r/n = 3.5% / 2 = 0.035 / 2 = 0.0175

The minimum price = Maximum (spot price - striking price, (forward rate - striking price) / (1 + 0.0175), 0) = Maximum(70 - 68, (69.5 - 68)/ 0.0175, 0)

Minimum price = Maximum (2 , 1.47, 0) = 2 cents

The minimum price for the American option is 2 cents.

We can arrive at this answer in the following format:

First, we will need to calculate the six-month annualized rate. This will be done as the following calculation:

[tex]3*(\frac{1}{2})=3.5[/tex]%

Then we will calculate the division of this value by the number of periods in the years, which are two. So we will calculate:

[tex]\frac{0.035}{2} = 0.0175[/tex]

With that we can calculate the minimum price as follows:

[tex]spot price - striking price = minimum price\\70 - 68= 2[/tex]

With that, we can say that the minimum price is equal to 2 cents.

Use the two state call option value in this problem. Data: S0=130 ; X=143 ; 1+r=1.1. The two possibilities for ST are 160 and 109. Calculate the value of a call option on the stock with an exercise price of $143.

Answers

Answer:

10.3

Explanation:

The computation of the value of a call option is shown below:

But before that we need to do the following calculations

P = (r - d) ÷ (u - d)

where

r = 1.1

d = down price ÷ current price

= 109 ÷ 130

= 0.838

u =  up price ÷ current price

= 160 ÷ 130

= 1.231

Now placing these values

= (1.1 - 0.838) ÷ (1.231 - 0.838)

= 0.6667

Now the value of the call option is

= (cu × p) + cd × (1 - p) ÷ R

= (17 × 0.6667) + 0 × (1 - 0.6667) ÷ 1.1

= 10.3

The cu could come from i.e. payoff in that case when the option is exercised

= 160 - 143

= 17

cd = payoff in that case when the option is not exercised

Answers

Answer: -2.27%

Explanation:

Bond prices are inversely related to interest rates so when the interest rises, the price of a bond will fall.

The formula for calculating this fall is;

= - Duration * ( Change in interest rate / (1 + current rate))

= -7 * ( 0.35%/(1 +8%))

= -0.022685

The following data has been provided for a company’s most recent year of operations: Return on investment 20% Average operating assets $ 100,000 Minimum required rate of return 15% The residual income for the year was closest to:

Answers

Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

The return on investment is 20%

= 20/100

=0.2

The average operating assets is $100,000

The minimum required rate of return is 15%

= 15/100

= 0.15

The first step is to calculate the net operating assets

= ROI× average operating assets

= 0.2×100,000

= $20,000

Therefore, the residual income can be calculated as follows

= Net operating income-(minimum required rate of return×average operating assets)

= $20,000-($100,000-0.15)

= $20,000-15,000

= $5,000

Hence the residual income for the year was closest to $5,000

ABC will purchase a machine that will cost $2,575,000. Required modifications will cost $375,000. ABC will need to invest $75,000 for additional inventory. The machine has an IRS approved useful life of 7 years; it is presumed to have no salvage value. ABC plans to depreciate the machine by using the straight-line method. The machine is expected to increase ABC's sales revenues by $1,890,000 per year; operating costs excluding depreciation are estimated at $454,600 per year. Assume that the firm's tax rate is 40%. What is the annual operating cash flow?

Answers

Answer:

The Annual Operating Cash Flow is $1,029,811.43

Explanation:

Initial Investment = Cost of Machine + Modification Cost

Initial Investment = $2,575,000 + $375,000

Initial Investment = $2,950,000

Salvage Value = $0

Useful Life = 7 years

Depreciation per year = (Initial Investment - Salvage Value) / Useful Life

Depreciation per year = ($2,950,000 - $0) / 7

Depreciation per year = $421,428.57

Annual Operating Cash Flow = (Sales – Operating Costs) * (1 – Tax Rate) + Tax Rate * Depreciation

Annual Operating Cash Flow = ($1,890,000 - $454,600) * (1 - 0.40) + 0.40 * $421,428.571

Annual Operating Cash Flow = $1,435,400 * 0.60 + 0.40 * $421,428.571

Annual Operating Cash Flow = $1,029,811.4284

Annual Operating Cash Flow = $1,029,811.43

d. $489,500

Explanation:

The capitalized cost will include all the costs incurred by Holiday laboratories to readily make the asset for use.

Therefore,

Capitalized cost = High speed industrial centrifuge + Shipping cost + Foundation cost + Equipment cost + Labor and testing cost + Material cost

= $440,000 + $30,000 + $8,600 + $3,000 + $5,300 + $2,600

= $489,500

Based on the costs incurred for the fixed asset, the capitalized cost will be a. $489,900

When it comes to fixed assets, all the costs that were needed to acquire the asset and install it will be capitalized.

The capitalized cost is therefore:

= Cost of equipment + Shipping cost + Foundation work cost + Additional water line cost + Labor costs + Materials cost

= 440,000 + 30,000 + 8,600 + 3,000 + 5,300 + 2,600

= $489,500

In conclusion, the capitalized cost was $489,500

A property management company hit its corporate goals for the year by increasing profits by 5%, two points higher than its 3% goal. Management was very pleased with the results and decided to celebrate with an extravagant meal for all managers. The following year, the company set the same goal, 3%, but fell very short. When digging into the cause, management found out that the associates were not as productive or as motivated as they were the year before. What should the company do to ensure it hits its goals for years to come

Answers

Available Options Are:

A. Continue training to improve its employees' skills  

B. Promote the best associates to managers  

C. Threaten lay-offs if goals are not hit  

D. Provide positive reinforcement for hitting goals

Answer:

Option D. Provide positive reinforcement for hitting goals

Explanation:

The training program is not required as the managers are already trained which means their is not skills deficit which has resulted in not achieving the business goals. Hence Option A is incorrect.

Option B is also incorrect because previously the same managers had achieved the goals hence promoting best associates to managers will not be impact making.

Option C is incorrect because threatening may result in further demotivating employees and it will also increase employee turnover. Hence it is also not a solution.

Option D is correct because the employees are demotivated and all they need is motivation which can be developed by developing a system of reward. This can be achieved by linking their interests with the company's interest. If they achieve their target then they must be awarded a certain portion of the target say 1%. This will increase their motivation to earn more by making additional sales.

Tranquility Company manufactures ceiling fans and uses an activity-based costing system. Each ceiling fan has 20 separate parts. The direct materials cost is $ 70 and each ceiling fan requires 3 hours of machine time to manufacture. There is no direct labor. Additional information is as follows:________.
Activity Allocation Base Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate
Materials handling Number of parts $ 0.08
Machining Machine hours 7.6
Assembling Number of parts 0.2
Packaging Number of finished units 2.7
What is the total manufacturing cost per ceiling fan? (Round any intermediate calculations and your final answer to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

unitary manufacturing cost= $101.1

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each ceiling fan has 20 separate parts.

The direct materials cost is $70 and each ceiling fan requires 3 hours of machine time to manufacture.

Activity Allocation Base Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate

Materials handling Number of parts $ 0.08

Machining Machine hours 7.6

Assembling Number of parts 0.2

Packaging Number of finished units 2.7

First, we need to allocate overhead using the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Materials handling= 0.08*20= $1.6

Machining= 7.6*3= $22.8

Assembling= 0.2*20= $4

Packaging= 2.7*1= $2.7

Total allocate overhead per unit= $31.1

Now, we can calculate the unitary manufacturing cost:

unitary manufacturing cost= 70 + 31.1

unitary manufacturing cost= $101.1

Warren Co. recorded a right-of-use asset of $780,000 in a 10-year finance lease. The interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%. The balance in the right-of-use asset after 2 years will be:

Answers

Answer: $624000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Warren Co. recorded a right-of-use asset of $780,000 in a 10-year finance lease and that the interest rate charged by the lessor was 10%.

The balance in the right-of-use asset after 2 years will be calculated as:

= $780,000 - [($780,000/10) × 2]

= $780,000 - ($78000 × 2)

= $780,000 - $156,000

= $624000

Over a 38-year period an asset had an arithmetic return of 12.4 percent and a geometric return of 10.3 percent. Using Blume’s formula, what is your best estimate of the future annual returns over 6 years? 10 years? 19 years?

Answers

Answer:

Blume's formula combines the geometric and arithmetic means of an asset to be able to predict its returns in a given period.

The formula is;

= Geometric Mean*(T-1)/(N-1) + Arithmatic Mean *(N-T)/(N-1)

Where,

T = Period in question

N = Total period

6 years

= 10.3%*(6-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-6)/(38-1)

= 12.1 %

10 years

= 10.3%*(10-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-10)/(38-1)

= 11.89%

19 years

= 10.3%*(19-1)/(38-1) + 12.4%*(38-19)/(38-1)

= 11.38%

The contribution margin ratio of Kuck Corporation's only product is 75%. The company's monthly fixed expense is $456,000 and the company's monthly target profit is $42,000. Determine the dollar sales to attain the company's target profit.

Answers

Answer:

$664,000

Explanation:

Kuck corporation has a product whose contribution margin ratio is 75%

= 75/100

= 0.75

The company has a fixed expense of $456,000

The company has a target profit of $42,000

Based on the values above, the dollar sales to attain the company's target profit can be calculated as follows

Dollar sales to reach target profit = (Target profit + fixed expenses) /Contribution margin ratio

= ($456,000+$42,000)/75/100

= $498,000/0.75

= $664,000

Hence the dollar sales to reach the required company's target profit is $664,000

Panjim's prepaid expense account consists only of garage rental prepayments. Its 2015 beginning and ending balance were the same. Which one of the following statements must be true?Panjim had no garage rental expenses during 2015Panjim's prepaid expense account balance never varied during 2015Panjim's prepaid expense account balance varied during 2015None of the above statements is true

Answers

Answer:

Panjim's prepaid expense account balance varied during 2015

Explanation:

I will use the following example:

Panjim's prepaid garage expense was $1,000 on January 1, 2015

His garage expenses are $250 per quarter

After 6 months,  the accrued expenses will be $500, so the balance of the prepaid account = $500

Pinjam incurs in the same garage expenses during the rest of the year, but on December 31, 2015, he prepays the garage expenses for 2016, so the ending balance of the account is $1,000 also.

Prepaid expenses is an asset account, it is not the same as garage expenses which belongs to the income statement. Prepaid expenses must be accrued and the account's balance decreases as time passes, so it will vary during the year.

= (6,000 hours *  $1) - 6,000 hours * $5

= (6,000 hours - 6,000 hours) * $5

= 0 * $5

= $0

Thus, the Variance overhead efficiency variance = $0

Stocks that don't pay dividends yet
Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young company, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts that Goodwin is likely to pay its first dividend three years from now. She expects Goodwin to pay a $5.5000 dividend at that time (D $5.5000) and believes that the dividend will grow by 28.60% for the following two years (D4 and D5). However, after the fifth year, she expects Goodwin's dividend to grow at a constant rate of 4.38% per year.
Goodwin's required return is 14.60%. Fill in the following chart to determine Goodwin's horizon value at the horizon date when constant growth begins and the current intrinsic value. To increase the accuracy of your calculations, carry the dividend values to four decimal places.

Goodwin has been very successful, but it hasn't paid a dividend yet. It circulates a report to its key investors containing the following statement:

Goodwin's investment opportunities are poor.

Is this statement a possible explanation for why the firm hasn't paid a dividend yet?

B. False

Generally companies that are experiencing a rapid growth do not pay dividends, because they need all the cash that they can use to finance their expansion. Sometimes mature companies that have a steady growth rate will also choose not to pay dividends because they consider themselves as solid investments and not paying dividends allows them to grow more and should increase stockholders' wealth more.

Explanation:

D₃ = $5.50

D₄ = $7.073

D₅ = $9.096

D₆ = $9.642 (and a constant growth rate of 4.38%

Re = 14.60%

horizon value at year 5 = $9.642 / (14.6% - 4.38%) = $94.3444

intrinsic value P₀ = $94.3444 / 1.146⁵ = $47.73

Supposing that the markets are in equilibrium, Goodwin's current common dividend yield is and Goodwin's capital gains result is 0(it pays no dividends). False.

What is Markets Equilibrium?

The horizon value at year 5 is = $94.3444

current intrinsic intrinsic value P₀ is = $47.73

Considering when the markets are in equilibrium, Also Goodwin's current common dividend yield is and also Goodwin's capital gains yield is 0(it pays no dividends).

Goodwin has been extremely successful, but it hasn't paid a premium yet. It disseminates a report to its key investors including the subsequent declaration:

Goodwin's investment opportunities are lacking.

B. False

Commonly, companies that are undergoing rapid evolution do not pay dividends, because they require all the cash that they can use to finance their development.

Sometimes when mature companies that have a steady growth rate will also when choose not to pay dividends because they consider themselves solid investments and not paying dividends allows them to grow more and also should increase stockholders' wealth more.

Then, D₃ = $5.50

After that, D₄ = $7.073

Then, D₅ is = $9.096

After that, D₆ = $9.642 (and a constant growth rate of 4.38%

Then, Re = 14.60%

Then, horizon value at year 5 = $9.642 / (14.6% - 4.38%) = $94.3444

Therefore, intrinsic value P₀ = $94.3444 / 1.146⁵ = $47.73
