describe five ways in which contract management might adds value after the contract award stage of the sourcing process.
Answer:
The five ways for contract management are:
1 - how buyer and supplier work after contract has been awarded.
2 - Key decisions made.
3 - Risk of misunderstanding and disagreement.
4 - Identify opportunities and improve performance.
5 - Performance evaluation against KPIs.
Explanation:
Contract management is essential for any business to succeed. There are five ways in which contract management will add value after contract award stage. Usually value addition is achieved by the response of buyer and seller towards the services after the contract has been awarded. There should be right individuals involved in decision making process. The performance should be evaluated against the KPI mentioned in the contract. If both supplier and buyer work with mutual understanding there is very less chance for disagreement and value will be added to the contract performance.
In its recent income statement, Smith Software Inc. reported paying $12 million in dividends to common shareholders, and in its year-end balance sheet, Smith reported $386 million of retained earnings. The previous year, its balance sheet showed $372 million of retained earnings. What was the firm's net income during the most recent year
Answer:
$26 million
Explanation:
Given the above information, net income
= Ending retained earnings - Beginning retained earnings + Dividend paid to shareholders
Ending retained earning = $386 million
Beginning retained earning = $372 million
Dividend paid to shareholders = $12 million
Then,
Net income earnings = $386 million - $372 million + $12 million
Net income earnings = $26 million
Therefore, the firm's net income during its most recent year is $26 million

Larry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $460 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 33 cents per mile. Larry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 2,000 miles per month.
Required:
a. How much cost would Larry expect to incur during April if he drove the car 1,545 miles? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 2,000-mile month?
a. Yes
b. No
Answer and Explanation:
a The computation of the cost is
= $460 + 1,545 miles × 0.33
= $460 + $509.85
= $969.85
b. It should not be considered as the meaningful as the fixed cost would remains the fixed i.e. $460 also the 0.33 per mile should be considered as the variable cost that change with the change in the no of miles covered
Therefore the same should be considered

The income expenditure model predicts that if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and the federal government increases spending by $100 billion, real GDP will increase by:_______
a) $100 billion.
b) $750 billion.
c) $400 billion.
d) $300 billion.
Answer:
Option c ($400 billion) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to the question,
Government expenditure,
G = 100
Marginal propensity to consume,
c = 0.75
Now,
The autonomous spending multiplier will be:
⇒ [tex]\Delta Y = \frac{1}{1-c}\times \Delta G[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
[tex]=\frac{1}{1-0.75}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=4\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=400[/tex]
To the extent that a firm is able to standardize its products across country borders, use the same or similar production facilities, and coordinate critical resource functions, the more likely it is to achieve optimum economies of scale. Group of answer choices
Answer: True
Explanation:
When a firm is able to use the same or similar processes across different countries to produce goods and services, they will get more adept at using them and will be able to acquire resources at a cheaper rate because they acquire the required resources in huge quantities.
This will lead to optimum economies of scale because costs would be saved from both knowing how to be more efficient across various nations and being able to acquire resources at the lowest prices.

Gross Inc. signs a five-year licensing agreement with Maiger Company. Gross Inc. will pay Maiger annual installment payments of $10,500 at the beginning of each of the five years. The fair value of the contract is $48,000. Over the five-year contract period, Gross Inc. will pay interest of:
Answer:
$4,500
Explanation:
First, calculate the total Installment
Total Installment payment = Annual Installment x Numbers of annual
Where
Annual Installment = $10,500 per year
Numbers of annual = 5 years
Installment payment = $10,500 per year x 5 years
Installment payment = $52,500
Now use the following formula to calculate the Interest payent
Interest payment = Installment Payment - Fair value of contract
Where
Installment Payment = $52,500
Fair value of contract = $48,000
Placing values in the formula
Interest payment = $52,500 - $48,000
Interest payment = $4,500

Answer:
Yankee candle
Explanation:
Sunland Clothing Store had a balance in the Accounts Receivable account of $112000 at the beginning of the year and a balance of $88000 at the end of the year. Net credit sales during the year amounted to $3650000. The average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was
Answer:
10 days
Explanation:
Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × Average receivables) / Net sales
Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × $100,000) / $3,650,000
Day's sales in receivables = 10 days
• Note
Average receivables = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2
= ($112,000 + $88,000) / 2
= $100,000
Therefore, the average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 10days

Jerry Rice and Grain Stores has $4,320,000 in yearly sales. The firm earns 1.8 percent on each dollar of sales and turns over its assets 3.5 times per year. It has $139,000 in current liabilities and $372,000 in long-term liabilities.
a. What is its return on stockholders’ equity?
b. If the asset base remains the same as computed in part a, but total asset turnover goes up to 4.00, what will be the new return on stockholders’ equity? Assume that the profit margin stays the same as do current and long-term liabilities.
Answer:
a. Return on Stockholders’ Equity = 10.75%
b. New return on stockholders' equity = 12.29%
Explanation:
a. What is its return on stockholders’ equity?
This can be calculated as follows:
Net Income = Sales * Profit Margin = $4,320,000 * 1.8% = $77,760
Total Assets = Sales / Total Assets Turnover = $4,320,000 / 3.50 = $1,234,285.71
Total Liabilities = Current Liabilities + Long term liabilities = $139,000 + $372,000 = $511,000
Total Stockholders’ Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities = $1,234,285.71 - $511,000 = $723,285.71
As a result, we have:
Return on Stockholders’ Equity = (Net Income / Total Stockholders Equity) * 100 = ($77,760 / $723,285.71) * 100 = 10.75%
b. If the asset base remains the same as computed in part a, but total asset turnover goes up to 4.00, what will be the new return on stockholders’ equity? Assume that the profit margin stays the same as do current and long-term liabilities.
This can be calculated as follows:
New Sales = Total Assets * New Assets Turnover Ratio = $1,234,285.71 * 4 = $4,937,142.86
New Net Income = New sales * Profit Margin = $4,937,142.86 * 1.8% = $88,868.57
As a result, we have:
New return on stockholders' equity = (New Net Income / Total Stockholders Equity) * 100 = ($88,868.57 / $723,285.71) * 100 = 12.29%
Which of the following statements concerning the cash disbursements amount in the cash budget is true in a manufacturing setting, but not true a merchandise setting?
A. The cash disbursements amount includes planned disbursements for ending inventory.
B. The cash disbursements does not need to equal changes in finished goods inventory.
C. The cash disbursements amount is no longer based off of the purchasing budget.
D. The cash disbursements amount includes planned disbursements for conversion costs.
Answer: D. The cash disbursements amount includes planned disbursements for conversion costs.
Explanation:
Manufacturing companies have to set aside money for the conversion of raw materials into manufactured goods so there is a cash disbursement for conversion costs.
Merchandising companies on the other hand buy already made goods so they do not have to convert those. There will therefore be no conversion cost in a merchandising company and so no cash disbursement for same.

Which of the following expressions correctly describes economic profits? A. Marginal revenuesexplicit costs. B. Total revenuesexplicit costs. C. Total revenuesimplicit costsexplicit costs. D. Marginal revenuesimplicit costsexplicit costs.
Answer:
C. Total revenuesimplicit costsexplicit costs.
Explanation:
The formula to compute the economic profits is shown below:
The economic profit is
= Total revenue - (explicit cost + implicit cost)
or
= Total revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost
So based on the above formula, the option c is correct
And, the rest of the options are incorrect
Suppose you borrow at the risk-free rate an amount equal to your initial wealth and invest in a portfolio with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 20%. The risk-free asset has an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the expected return on the resulting portfolio.
Answer: 28%
Explanation:
First, we have to make an assumption that the initial wealth is 100, then the weight of the risk free asset will be:
= Amount invested in risk free / Initial wealth
= -100/100
= -1
The weight of the portfolio will be calculated as:
= 1 - weight of risk free asset
= 1-(-1)
= 1 + 1
= 2
Therefore, the expected return on the resulting portfolio will be:
= 2 × 16 + [(-1) × 4]
= 32 - 4
= 28
Your company is estimated to make dividends payments of $2.4 next year, $3.4 the year after, and $4.1 in the year after that. The dividends will then grow at a constant rate of 4% per year. If the discount rate is 13% then what is the current stock price
Answer:
40.78
Explanation:
Purchased goods for $4,100 from Diamond Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30. 5 Returned goods costing $1,100 to Diamond Inc. for credit on account. 6 Purchased goods from Club Corp. for $1,000 with terms 2/10, n/30. 11 Paid the balance owed to Diamond Inc. 22 Paid Club Corp. in full. Required: Assume that Ace uses a perpetual inventory system and that the company had no inventory on hand at the beginning of the month. Calculate the cost of inventory as of June 30.
Answer: $3,940
Explanation:
Purchase from Diamond
The company received a discount of 2% because they paid within 10 days as per the terms of the sale.
Cost of inventory from Diamond:
= (Cost of goods - Returns) * (1 - 2%)
= (4,100 - 1,100) * 98%
= $2,940
Purchase from Club
Discount period expired so the full $1,000 is paid.
Total inventory cost:
= 2,940 + 1,000
= $3,940

Consider a simple economy whose only industry is fishing. In this industry, productivity—the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour—is measured by the number of fish one fisherman catches per hour. In the following table, match each example to the productivity determinant it represents.
Examples Human Capital per Worker Natural Resources per Worker Physical Capital per Worker Technological Knowledge
The fertile waters in which the fish feed and breed
The skills workers develop through training before working on and piloting boats
A route fishing boats can follow to maximize their catch at different points in the day
The boats in the fishing fleet
Answer:
The fertile waters in which the fish feed and breed ⇒ Natural Resources per worker.
The skills workers develop through training before working on and piloting boats ⇒ Human Capital per worker.
A route fishing boats can follow to maximize their catch at different points in the day ⇒ Technological Knowledge.
The boats in the fishing fleet ⇒ Physical Capital
