The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $273,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year the company will receive payment of $650,000. Assume the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case there will be a cash outlay of $595,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $650,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift.
The company should work the extra shift if the cost of capital is between ___________ % and ___________ %
Answer:
19% to 19.7%
Explanation:
Cost of capital is the firm cost of sources of financing. It includes debt, equity and all other sources of finance with keeping the track of their required rate of return. The cost of capital is the expected return which is required by the lenders of fund.
Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06
The Talbot Corporation makes wheels that it uses in the production of bicycles. Talbot's costs to produce 180,000 wheels annually are:
Direct materials $36,000
Direct labor $54,000
Variable manufacturing overhead $27,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead $66,000
An outside supplier has offered to sell Talbot similar wheels for $0.80 per wheel. If the wheels are purchased from the outside supplier, $21,000 of annual fixed overhead could be avoided and the facilities now being used could be rented to another company for $51,000 per year. Direct labor is a variable cost. If Talbot chooses to buy the wheel from the outside supplier, then annual net operating income would: __________
Answer:
If the company chooses to buy the wheels, income will increase by $69,000.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total relevant cost of production:
Relevant cost of production:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + avoidable overhead
Total cost= 36,000 + 54,000 + (27,000 + 45,000)
Total cost= $162,000
Now, the total cost of buying the wheels:
Total cost= 180,000*0.8 - 51,000= $93,000
Difference= 93,000 - 162,000= -$69,000
If the company chooses to buy the wheels, income will increase by $69,000.
a worker produced four components during an 8-hour shift in which he earned $96. What is his labor cost per unit?
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Labor cost per unit is the ratio of total labor expense for a period of time divided by the total number of units produced during that period of time. It is given by the formula:
Labor cost per unit = Total money earned during a specified period / number of components produced.
Hence using the formula above, the labor cost per unit of the worker is gotten to be:
Labor cost per unit = $96 / 4 components = $24

Terms called for a down payment of $500,000 with the balance in two equal annual installments payable on December 15, 2014, and December 15, 2015. Ignore interest charges. Rigsby has a December 31 year-end. In its December 31, 2013, balance sheet, Rigsby would report:
a. Realized gross profit of $100,000.
b. Deferred gross profit of $100,000.
c. Installment receivables (net) of $3,200,000.
d. Installment receivables (net) of $4,
Answer:
a. Realized gross profit of $100,000.
Explanation:
In 2013, Rigsby Sales Co would realize:
Gross profit percentage = ($4,500,000 - $3,600,000) /4,500,000
Gross profit percentage = 0.20
Gross profit percentage = 20%
Gross profit to be realized is
Gross profit = Installment received * Percentage of gross profit
Gross profit = $500,000*20%
Gross profit = $100,000

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company's performance.
Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
Statement True False
1. A company exhibiting a high liquidity ratio means it is likely to have enough resources to pay off its short-term obligations
2. Asset management ratios provide insights into management's efficiency in using a firm's working capital and long-term assets.
3. Debt management or financial leverage ratios help analysts determine whether a company has sufficient cash to repay its short- term debt obligations.
4. One possible explanation for an increase in a firm's profitability ratios over a certain time span is that the company's income has increased
5. Market-value ratios help analysts figure out what investors and the markets think about the firm's growth prospects or current and future operational performance
Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis?
a. A firm may operate in multiple industries.
b. A firm's financial statements show only one period of financial data.
c. Different firms may use different accounting practices.
Answer:
First Part1. True
Liquidity ratios such as the Current ratio are used to show that a company can cover its short-term obligations.
2. True
Asset management ratios juxtapose a company's performance vs its long term assets and so provide insights into management's efficiency.
3. False
Debt management ratios show how much of the company is funded by total debt not whether it has sufficient cash to repay its short- term debt obligations.
4. True
Profitability ratios take into account how much income is raised by a company so when this increases, the ratios will as well.
5. True
Market-Value ratios show the firm's value in the market which is a reflection of what investors and the markets think about the firm's growth prospects or current and future operational performance.
Second PartThe Weakness/ Limitations are;
a. A firm may operate in multiple industries.
Should this be the case, the company's performance in one sector cannot necessarily be compared to companies that operate in that single sector because it would not take into account the company's other sectors which may impact figures.
c. Different firms may use different accounting practices.
When different accounting practices are used, ratio analysis may not be a true indication of the situations in the company. For instance, a company using LIFO cannot be effectively compared to a company using FIFO when using ratio analysis.
1. Accrual accounting is used by the vast majority of companies. *
O
True
O False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The accrual accounting system is one of the two methods of reporting or recording income and expenses. The other way is the cash system.
In the accrual method, income and expenses are accounted for when they were earned or incurred regardless of whether money changed hands. Sales are reported when goods are delivered, and the invoice is issued even if the customer has not paid.
The accrual system is the standard method of operating for many businesses, big and small. The accrual method matches revenue and income with the time of their respective economic events. The general accounting principles recommend the accrual accounting system for both the private and public sectors.

You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?
Answer:
42% and 12%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Alpha Fund
Positive return = 60%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.60
= 40%
For Omega Fund
Positive return = 70%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.70
= 0.30
Also the returns are non-dependent
Now the positive return is
= 60% × 70
= 42%
And, the probability of lose money is
= 40% × 30%
= 12%

The Sisyphean Company has a bond outstanding with a face value of $1000 that reaches maturity in 5 years. The bond certificate indicates that the stated coupon rate for this bond is 10.0% and that the coupon payments are to be made semiannually. Assuming the appropriate YTM on the Sisyphean bond is 7.5%, then this bond will trade at ________.
Answer:
$1,513.30
Explanation:
The Trading price of the Bond is it Present Value (PV) and is calculated as :
Fv = $1000
n = 5 × 2 = 10
pmt = ($1000 × 10.0%) ÷ 2 = $100
p/yr = 2
i = 7.5%
Pv = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the Price of the Bond (PV) is $1,513.30.
Your firm has taken out a 521,000 loan with 8.6% APR (compounded monthly) for some commercial property. As is common in commercial real estate, the loan is a 5-year loan based on a 15-year amortization. This means that your loan payments will be calculated as if you will take 15 years to pay off the loan, but you actually must do so in 5 years. To do this, you will make 59 equal payments based on the 15-year amortization schedule and then make a final 60th payment to pay the remaining balance.
A. What will your monthly payments be?
B. What will your final payment be?
Answer:
A. What will your monthly payments be?
$5,161.08B. What will your final payment be?
$419,650Explanation:
loan = $521,000
interest rate = 8.6% compounded monthly
loan schedule = 15 years
monthly payment = loan amount / PV annuity factor, 0.7167%, 180 periods* = $521,000 / 100.94786 = $5,161.08
No annuity table will give you the annuity factor for 0.7167%, so you must search for an annuity calculator on the web.
Then I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the balance after the 59th payment (attached file). The balance after the 59th payment is $416,649 + $3,001 in interests = $419,650.
What are the limitations and risks of a marketing strategy that does not contemplate the responses of your competitors
Answer:
Throughout the clarification section following, the definition of the given query is explained.
Explanation:
Right, businesses face fierce competition through competitiveness throughout today's time, because it has become extremely necessary for organizations to develop a marketing campaign that makes companies contemplate consumer response.
After all, if any business marketing plan doesn't somehow anticipate competition reaction, then all these threats can occur:
Someone's brand sales should decline as consumers should choose the brand of their rivals. Your company's market position as well as business growth would decline as well as the brand's rivals will rise. Throughout the life cycle of the product, your company will hit the decline point. Your business's share price could decline.According to the video, what are some things that Human Resources Managers do? Check all that apply.

1. Determination of the total variable costs and the total fixed costs for the current year.
Total variable costs $_____22,000,000
Total fixed costs $_____10,000,000
2. Determination of (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin for the current year.
Unit variable cost $_____44 ($22,000,000/500,000)
Unit contribution margin $_____50 ($94 - $44)
3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the current year:
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs/Contribution per unit
= $10,000,000/$50 = 200,000 units
4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program for the following year.
Break-even sales (units) = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit
= $11,800,000/$50 = 236,000
5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $15,000,000 of income from operations that were earned in the current year
Break-even sales (units) to achieve income target = (Fixed costs + Income target)/Contribution per unit
= ($11,800,000 + 15,000,000)/$50
= 536,000

Explanation:
Swifty Company purchased equipment for $256,800 on October 1, 2020. It is estimated that the equipment will have a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $12,000. Estimated production is 48,000 units and estimated working hours are 20,400. During 2020, Swifty uses the equipment for 600 hours and the equipment produces 1,000 units.
Required:
Compute depreciation expense under each of the following methods. Swifty is on a calendar-year basis ending December 31.
a. Straight-line method for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
b. Activity method (units of output) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
c. Activity method (working hours) for 2020 $enter a dollar amount.
d. Sum-of-the-years'-digits method for 2022 $enter a dollar amount (e) Double-declining-balance method for 2021
Answer:
a. Straight line method.
Depreciation per annum = ($ 256,800 - $12,000 ) / 8 = $ 30,600.
Depreciation for 2020 = $ 30,600 * ( 3 /12 ) = $ 7,650.
b. Units of output
Depreciation per unit = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 48,000 = $ 5.1
Depreciation for 2020 = 1,000 * $ 5.1 = $ 5,100.
c. Working hours.
Depreciation per hours = ( $ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) / 20,400 = $ 12
Depreciation for 2020 = 600 * $ 12 = $ 7,200.
D. Sum of digits method
Sum of years = 8 ( 8 +1 ) / 2 = 36.
Year - 1 used ( 3 / 12 = 0.25)
Year-2 used ( 12 / 12 = 1 )
Remaining ( 8 - 1 - 0.25 = 6.75)
Depreciation for 2022 = ($ 256,800 - $ 12,000 ) * ( 6.75 / 36 )
Depreciation for 2022 = $ 45,900.
e. Double declining balance
Depreciation rate = 200 / 8 = 25 %.
Depreciation for 2020 = $256,800 * 25 % * (3 /12)
Depreciation for 2020 = $16,050.
Depreciation for 2021 = ( $256,800 - $ 16,050) * 25%
Depreciation for 2021 = $60,188.

N. Return on equity = net income / average total equity
= $49,320 / [($262,256 + $291,576)/2] = 0.18
Many assets provide a series of cash inflows over time; and many obligations require a series of payments. When the payments are equal and are made at fixed intervals, the series is an annuity. There are three types of annuities: (1) __________ (2)_________, and (3) __________-. One can find an annuity's future and present values, the interest rate built into annuity contracts, and the length of time it takes to reach a financial goal using an annuity.
Answer:
Fixed annuities
Variable annuities
Indexed annuities
Explanation:
Annuities are defined as contract that pays out regular amounts over time at a particular interest rate.
Usually there is an initial investment of a lumps sum or a series of deposits.
Annuities are classified based on level of risk and payout potential into 3:
- Fixed annuity give out a fixed guaranteed payout amount. The risk is low but the payout is low. Slightly above certificate of deposits.
- Variable annuity is one that gives room for a higher payout but risk is also higher. A set of mutual funds are invested in and payout is dependent on how they perform.
- Indexed annuity gives higher return that is tied to the performance of an index like the S&P 500. The risk is lower than that of variable annuity
