Answer:
1. $260 ; $165 and $225
2. $132.50 and $290
3. Activity Driver Method.
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1)
Overhead rate =(Direct labor + Ordering cost + Machine cost +Receiving) ÷ (Direct labor hour for A + Direct labor hour for B)
= ($480,000 + $360,000 + $840,000 +$400,000) ÷ (6,000+$2,000)
= $260
Model A cost per unit = (Direct material +Setting up)÷Units +(Direct labor hour×Overhead rate÷Units)
=($600,000+$480,000)÷$16,000 +($6,000×$260÷ $16,000)
= $165
Model B cost per unit = ($800,000+$480,000)÷$8,000 +($2,000×$260÷ $8,000)
= $225
2)
Model A cost =((Direct material + direct labor)+(direct labor×no. of setups÷number of setup)+(ordering cost×no. of orders÷machine hours)+(machine costs×no. of orders÷machine hours)+(receiving×receiving hours÷receiving hours)) ÷ Units
= (($600,000+$480,000) + ($480,000×400÷600) + ($360,000×$12,000÷$18,000) +($840,000×$18,000÷$42,000) + ($400,000×3,000÷$10,000)) ÷ $16,000
= $132.50
Model B cost = (($800,000+$480,000) + ($480,000×200÷600) + ($360,000×$12,000÷$18,000) +($840,000×$18,000÷$42,000) + ($400,000×7,000÷$10,000)) ÷ $8,000
= $290
3)
The more accurate cost assignment is produced by Activity Driver Method.
We simply applied the above formulas
In 2009, the great recession finally took its toll on the Alamo Title company in San Antonio, Texas. The housing business was in steep decline and the size of the company was reduced to half its former size through layoffs. Alamo Title was experiencing many new and unexpected challenges to keep its doors open for business. Management was discussing what style of management would be the most effective to use now at the company and brought you in to advise them. Which management style would you recommend they use?
Answer:
Theory X management style
Explanation:
Theory X is focused on the standard laborer's suppositions. This theory of management believes the average worker has no motivation, lacks accountability and is focused to specific ambitions. Overall, managers of theory X style assume their workers are less smart, stupider, and only operate for a reliable income.
In such a management style the managers keeps strong supervision over their subordinates, therefore, it will be suitable style as the company is already in steep condition and further problems might lead to total loss.

Aquatica makes underwater camera housings for divers. The process begins with a solid rectangular block of aluminum which is used to make a single housing. A Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine drills into the block to make the metal "frame" of the housing. Each block requires 15 minutes of drilling. The frame is then chemically treated in a series of baths. There is ample capacity in the treating stage. Finally, a worker must manually attach the various buttons and components to the metal housing. This assembly takes 120 minutes per housing per worker and Aquatica has 6 workers trained to do this task. The CNC machine requires a 30 minute setup time before the production of a batch can begin.
Housing type Demand rate (housings per hour)
D7000 0.4
5DS Mark IlI 0.5
AN-5n 0.6
D300 0.7
T2i 0.8
a. If the CNC machine produces 12 housing between setups, what would be its capacity (in housings per hour)?
b. Assuming the process is supply constrained, what is the utilization (as a percentage) of the CNC machine if it operates in batches of 12 housings? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Assuming the process is supply-constrained and operates with batches of 12 housings, what is the average inventory of housings?
d. Aquatica actually makes 5 different housings. As already mentioned, the CNO machine must be setup whenever production switches from one housing to the other. In each case, the setup time is 32 minutes and it takes 17 minutes to drill the block for each type of housing. Demands for the housings are given in the table above. If they wish to minimize inventory while satisfying their demand, how many D7000 housings should they produce in each batch?
Answer:
(a) capacity=3.05hours
(b) utilisation percentage= 0.90 or 90%
(c) Average inventory=1.22
(d)Batch size of D700 is approximately equal to 7
Explanation:
(a)To calculate Capacity
=( Batch size) /(set up time + processing time)
= 12/ (32+17×12) = 12/236 minutes = (12/236) ×60 hours =
3.05 hours
(b)Capacity for assembly: = 113/6 = 18.8/minute = 60/18.8 = 3.19/hour as assembly takes 113 minutes per housing per worker and 6 workers are working at the moment Assembly time for batch of 12 housings = 12/3.19 hr = 3.77 hr CNC time for batch = 32+(17×12 )= 236 minutes = 3.93 hr Utilization of CNC: = (17*12)/60/3.766 = 0.902815 = 0
O.90 or 90%
(c)Average inventory = 1/2 ×batch size × (1-(capacity for assembly × 1/4))
= 1/2×12*(1-(3.186/4) = 1.22(Approximately)
(d)Total demand of all the housings = 0.4+0.5+0.6+0.7+0.8 = 3/hour
Setup time per housing = 32/60 hr = 0.53 hr
Setup time for 5 housings will be = 5×0.53 = 2.67 hr
The Processing time = 17/60 hr = 0.2833 hr
Total batch size = (2.67×3)/(1-3×0.2833) = 53.36
Batch size of D700 = 53.36*(0.4/3) = 7.11 = 7(approximately)
(a) The capacity is =3.05hours
(b) The utilization percentage is = 0.90 or 90%
(c) The Average inventory is =1.22
(d) when the Batch size of D700 is approximately equal to 7
How to Calculate Average inventory?(a) Now To calculate Capacity is:
Then =( Batch-size) /(set up time + processing time)
After that = 12/ (32+17×12) = 12/236 minutes = (12/236) ×60 hours =
3.05 hours
(b) When the Capacity for assembly is = 113/6 = 18.8/minute = then 60/18.8 is = 3.19/hour as assembly takes 113 minutes per housing per worker and also 6 workers are working at the moment.
After that Assembly time for batch of 12 housings is = 12/3.19 hr = 3.77 hr Then C-N-C time for batch is = 32+(17×12 )= 236 minutes = 3.93 hr After that Utilization of C-N-C is = (17*12)/60/3.766 = 0.902815 = 0
O.90 or 90%
(c) Then the Average inventory is = 1/2 ×batch size × (1-(capacity for assembly × 1/4))
Then = 1/2×12*(1-(3.186/4) = 1.22(Approximately)
(d) Then the Total demand of all the housings is = 0.4+0.5+0.6+0.7+0.8 = 3/hour
After that Setup time per housing is = 32/60 hr = 0.53 hr
Then Setup time for 5 housings will be = 5×0.53 = 2.67 hr
Now The Processing time is = 17/60 hr = 0.2833 hr
After that Total batch size is = (2.67×3)/(1-3×0.2833) = 53.36
Then Batch-size of D700 is = 53.36*(0.4/3) = 7.11 = 7(approximately)

3) SNG's stock is selling for $15 per share. The firm's income, assets, and stock price have been growing at an annual 15% rate and are expected to continue to grow at this rate for 3 more years. No dividends have been declared as yet, but the firm intends to declare a $2.00 dividend at the end of the last year of its supernormal growth. After that, dividends are expected to grow at the firm's normal growth rate of 6%. The firm's required rate of return is 18%. You should:
Answer:
Since the current stock's price should be $11.97, then the stock is overpriced, so you should not buy it.
Explanation:
if we use the dividend growth model to determine the intrinsic stock price:
Div₃ = $2.00
Div₄ = $2.12 (6% growth rate)
using the dividend growth model we can determine the terminal price of the stock in year 3
P₃ = $2.12 / (18% - 6%) = $17.67
terminal price in year 3 = $2 + $17.67 = $19.67
to determine the present value of the stock we must discount the future value by 18%:
present value = $19.67 / (1 + r)ⁿ = $19.67 / 1.18³ = $11.97
Since the current stock's price should be $11.97, then the stock is overpriced.

Based on your understanding of bond ratings and bond-rating criteria, which of the following statements is true? During a period of economic growth and in an optimistic environment, the yield spread between US government bonds and corporate bonds could be higher than during an economic recession and a pessimistic environment. During an economic recession and in a pessimistic environment, the yield spread between US government bonds and corporate bonds could be higher than during good economic times. In 2008, the United States began to witness one of the worst recessions since the 1930s. The collapse of the housing bubble in 2006 led to a massive decline in real estate prices, affecting consumers and institutions, especially banking and financial entities. Severe liquidity shortfalls in the United States as well as other global markets led to a serious credit crisis. During the credit crisis of 2008–2009, several banks and other businesses went through a reorganization process or were forced to liquidate. Consider the following example: In December 2008, Hawaiian Telcom took action to strengthen its balance sheet by reducing debt. Although the company continued to operate, its creditors could not collect their debts or loan payments that were due prior to the legal action that the company took. However, on November 30, 2009, the company had $75 million in cash on hand. This is an example of: Liquidation Reorganization
Answer: 1. During an economic recession and in a pessimistic environment, the yield spread between US government bonds and corporate bonds could be higher than during good economic times.
2. Reorganization
Explanation:
1. When there is a higher yield gap between the US Government bonds and Corporate bonds, this means that the Corporate bonds carry more risk. In a Pessimistic Environment, the ability of a company to pay it's Debt obligations is called into question as the economy is going through hard times and they must be as well. If this is the case which it usually is, higher risk will be attached to Corporate bonds which means that the yield spread/gap will be higher in such an environment than in an Optimistic environment.
2. Reorganization refers to the changing of the way a company is run from it's ownership to it's structure and modus operandi. It is usually done to ensure the business survives when it is going through hard times and the current status quo cannot stand. Hawaiian Telecom engaged in Reorganization by engaging in the actions described.

Answer:
The value of closing inventory using FIFO under perpetual inventory system is $9379
Explanation:
The FIFO or first in first out method is a method of inventory valuation which basis the value of ending inventory on the assumption that the inventories that were purchased first were the ones that were sold first and the closing or ending inventory is comprised of the most recent purchases.
The perpetual method of inventory recording makes real time record and changes in the inventory level as soon as a transaction relating to inventory occurs.
The ending inventory of the business can be calculated as follows:
Transaction Purchases Sale Balance
1. Opening Inventory (100 * 103) 10300
2. July 10 purchase (150 * 91) 13650 23950
3. July 15 sale (100*103 + 73*91) 16943 7007
4. July 22 purchase (200 * 113) 22600 29607
5. July 30 sale (77*91 + 117*113) 20228 9379
Totals 36250 37171 9379
The value of closing inventory is $9379. The sale made on July 15 was made through using 100 units of opening inventory at a cost of $103 per unit and 73 units from July 10 purchases at $91 per unit.The sale made on July 30 was made through using the remaining units of July 10 purchases (150 - 73 = 77) at $91 per unit and using the units from July 22 purchase (194 - 77 = 117) at $113 per unit.The closing inventory in units is = 200 - 117 = 83The cost of closing inventory is 83 * 113 = $9379Teal Company sells televisions at an average price of $814 and also offers to each customer a separate 3-year warranty contract for $81 that requires the company to perform periodic services and to replace defective parts.

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 30,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given:
Unit Total
Direct materials $15 $450,000
Direct labor 8 240,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 90,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 9 270,000
Variable selling expense 4 120,000
Fixed selling expense 6 180,000
Total cost $45 $1,350,000
The Rets normally sell for $50 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is constant at $270,000 per year within the range of 25,000 through 30,000 Rets per year.
Required:
Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 25,000 Rets through regular channels next year.
A large retail chain has offered to purchase 5,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price.
There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%.
However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain's name on the 5,000 units. This machine would cost $10,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units any time in the future.
Determine the impact on profits next year if this special order is accepted.
Refer to the original data, assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 25,000 Rets through regular channels next year.
The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 5,000 Rets.
The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and in addition it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units.
Since the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses of any type associated with this order.
If Polaski Company accepts the order, by how much will profits be increased or decreased for the year. Assume the same situation as that described above, except that the company expects to sell 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army's order would require giving up regular sales of 5,000 Rets.
If the Army's order is accepted, by how much will profits be increased or decreased from what they would be if the 5,000 Rets were sold through regular channels?
Answer:
production level 30,000 units
production costs at that level:
direct materials $15 per unit = $450,000direct labor $8 per unit = $240,000variable manufacturing overhead $3 per unit = $90,000fixed overhead $9 per unit = $270,000variable selling expense $4 per unit = $120,000fixed selling expense $6 per unit = $180,000total costs per unit $45 = $1,350,000sales price $50 per unit, profit $5 per unit = $150,000
fixed manufacturing overhead constant between 25,000 - 30,000 units
scenario 1:
due to a recession, sales decrease to 25,000 units:
special order for 5,000 at $42 per unit
additional costs = $10,000 for special machine
without special order with special order
total units sold 25,000 30,000
total revenue $1,250,000 $1,460,000
- variable px costs -$650,000 -$780,000
- fixed ma. overhead -$270,000 -$270,000
gross profit $330,000 $410,000
- variable selling exp. -$100,000 -$115,000
- fixed selling exp. -$180,000 -$180,000
- special machine $0 -$10,000
net profit $50,000 $105,000
profits will increase by $50,000 if the special order is accepted
scenario 2:
normal sales levels 30,000 units, Army wishes to purchase 5,000 units:
special order for 5,000 at production costs + $1.80
additional costs = $10,000 for special machine
without special order with special order
total units sold 30,000 30,000
total revenue $1,500,000 $1,434,000
- variable px costs -$780,000 -$780,000
- fixed ma. overhead -$270,000 -$270,000

profits will decrease by -$46,000 if the Army's special order is accepted
"5. Problems and Applications Q5 You are hired as a consultant to a monopolistically competitive firm. The firm reports the following information about its price, marginal cost, and average total cost: P=MC, P>ATC Which of the following statements are true about the firm? Check all that apply. The firm can increase its profit by reducing its output. The firm is possibly maximizing profit. The firm is in long-run equilibrium."
Answer: The firm can increase its profit by reducing its output.
Explanation:
Monopolistic Competitive Firms maximise profit at the point where MR = MC. This firm is producing at MC = P. This means that should the company want to make profit, they should reduce their output. This will have the effect of increasing their price and hence marginal revenue as well as reducing marginal cost to a point where MR = MC where they will then be maximising profit.

Variable manufacturing overheads = 6000 x $2 = $ 12,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $ 79,200
Total Manufacturing overheads = $ 91,200
Depreciation = $ 21,000
Cash disbursement of manufacturing overhead for November = total manufacturing overheads - Depreciation
= $91,200 - $ 21,000 = $ 70,200
B.
From above, we have Total Manufacturing overheads = $ 91,200
Budgeted direct labor hours = 6,000 hours
Predetermined overhead rate for the month of November = Total Manufacturing overheads ÷ Budgeted direct labor hours
= $91,200 ÷ 6000 = $ 15.20
Jonathan owns a shoe factory that produces flashy shoes, but he pays his workers the bare minimum wage so that he can live large. The workers at his factory, led by Cosku, have formed a union, and are threatening to go on strike unless they receive a higher wage so that they can reasonably support their families. Five years ago, when Jonathan hired most of the workers, unemployment was very high. Now, unemployment is very low. This has changed the relative bargaining power of the employers and the employees, which Cosku and Jonathan remember from when they took ECON 104. Which statement most accurately describes how their relative power now may affect the campaign for higher wages?a) Jonathan - the factory owner - has more bargaining power than before, because he knows they will be very grateful to him for hiring them when unemployment was high. He thinks he won't have to pay workers more.b) Cosku and the workers have higher bargaining power, because they are less replaceable due to unemployment. There are very few people who Jonathan can hire to replace the workers, and if there are no workers, Jonathan cannot continue to live large. Thus, the power dynamics of the situation favor the workers winning higher wages.c) Both parties are in a better position. If Jonathan gives workers a higher wage, it will cause inflation, and then he can charge more for the flashy shoes from his factory. Workers will make more, and so will Jonathan.d) Cosku and the workers are in a worse position because they already make minimum wage. The government will see their protests and think that it's silly, because they are already paid a legal wage.
Answer:
b. Cosku and the workers have higher bargaining power, because they are less replaceable due to unemployment. There are very few people who Jonathan can hire to replace the workers, and if there are no workers, Jonathan cannot continue to live large Thus, the power dynamics of the situation favor the workers winning higher wages
Explanation:
Since in the given question it is mentioned that the employees will go on strike until they do not received higher wages so that they can support their families
And in case of low unemployment, the relative bargaining power of the employers and the employees is changed i.e high. Moreover they are very Less person through which they can hire in order to replace the workers and in the case when there is no workers so he is unable to continue its business operations due to which he cannot live large.
So to overcome this he have to agree to pay the higher wages to the employees other wise the workers could leave the organization
Answer:
b) Cosku and the workers have higher bargaining power..........dynamics of the situation favor the workers winning higher wages
Explanation:
Labour markets wages & employment are determined on the basis of :- labour demand by firms & labour supply by workers ; and relative bargaining power of buyer firms & seller workers.
Firms more bargaining power leads to reducing pressure on wage rates with more employment. Workers more bargaining power leads to increasing pressure on wage rates with less employment.
At the time of Jonathan's shoe factory inception, more unemployment meant firms had more bargaining power & hence the wages were lower. However, no hike in wages with time make workers demand higher wage with strike warning. Meanwhile, less unemployed labour supply available implies that firms have no substitute labour to hire. So, union & workers have higher bargaining power & labour irreplaceability due to less unemployment - state that Jonathan has no other alternative than to accept labour favouring notion of higher wages.
The agreement of the trial balance total is an indication that all transactions have been properly recorded in the books of accounts do you agree justify your answer
Answer: I did not agree that the agreement of trial balance is an indication that all transactions have been properly recorded in the books of account .it only means that certain types of errors have not been made.
Explanation:
Trial balance is an account prepared in order to test the arithmetical accuracy of entries in the ledger account. When a double entry principle has been observed then the total of debit entry must equal the total of credit entry in the trial balance. The balancing of the two sides of the trial balance does not mean that the account is correct. It means that certain types of errors have not been made. In the sense that there are several types of error which will not affect the balancing of trial balance such as the compensating error, error of original entry, error of omission, error of commission and so on will not affect the balancing of trial balance.

(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)b. What are the company’s capital structure weights on a market value basis? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:
a. 0.7467 and 0.2534
b. 0.2504 and 0.7495
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
The capital structure is a combination of the both debt and equity where debt is the cheapest source while the equity is the expensive source and the risk and return is high in case of equity as compared with the debt
a)
Company's capital structure weight on the basis of Book Value Weight :
Debt = (face value of first issue + face value of second issue)÷ (face value of first issue + (face value of second issue + year × share value)
= ($90+$75) ÷ ($90+$75+7×$8)
= 0.7467
Equity = 1 - Debt
= 1 - 0.7467
= 0.2534
b)
Company's capital structure weight on the basis of Market Value Weight :
Debt = (face value of first issue × % sale +face value of second issue × sale %) ÷ (face value of first issue × % sale +face value of second issue × sale% + year × current share price)
= ($90× 98%+$75× 110%) ÷ ($90× 98%+$75× 110%+7×$73)
= 0.2504
Equity = 1 - debt
= 1 - 0.2504
= 0.7495
Prepare the issuer's journal entry for each of the following separate transactions.
A. On March 1, Atlantic Co. issues 45,000 shares of $3 par value common stock for $305,000 cash.
B. On April 1, OP Co. issues no-par value common stock for $75,000 cash.
C. On April 6, MPG issues 2,500 shares of $25 par value common stock for $44,000 of inventory, $160,000 of machinery, and acceptance of a $94,000 note payable.
Answer:
Double entry is given in the explanation.
Explanation:
Part A. The common stock is always recorded at par which is $3 per share here and the Capital Paid In is the remainder amount which is calculated as under:
Capital Paid In = Cash Received - Common Stock
Here,
Capital Received is $305,000
Capital Stock = 45,000 shares * $3 par value = $135,000
By putting the values, we have:
Capital Paid In = $305,000 - $135,000 = $170,000
Double Entry would be:
Dr Cash $305,000
Cr Common Stock $135,000
Cr Capital Paid In $170,000
Part B. The common stock of the stocks that are issued at no par value is always recorded at money received which means there is no capital paid-in.
Double Entry would be:
Dr Cash $75,000
Cr Common Stock $75,000
Part C. The inventory received is worth $44,000 which would be debited to inventory account. In exchange of inventory $44,000 and machinery worth $160,000 (Machinery will also be debited), 2500 shares having $25 par value (common stock will be credited at par and the excess of par would be capital paid-in) and $94,000 note payables were issued (Note payable would be credited at $94,000).
Double Entry would be:
Dr Inventory $44,000
Dr Machinery $160,000
Cr Note Payable $94,000
Cr Common Stock (2000 * $25) $50,000
Cr Capital Paid In (Balancing Figure) $60,000

Suppose the government wants to reduce the total pollution emitted by three firms. Currently, each firm is creating 4 tons of pollution, for a total of 12 tons. The government is considering the following two methods to reduce total pollution to 6 tons:
1. The government sets regulation specifying that each of the three firms must cut its pollution in half.
2. The government allocates two tradable pollution permits to each of the three firms. Each permit allows the firm to emit 1 ton of pollution. Assume the negotiation and exchange of permits are costless.
The following table shows the cost each firm faces to eliminate each unit of pollution.
Cost of Eliminating: Firm X Firm Y Firm Z
First ton of pollution $950 $280 $600
Second ton of pollution $1,650 $300 $720
Third ton of pollution $2,500 $350 $880
Fourth ton of pollution $3,550 $450 $1,050
Suppose the owners of the three firms get together and agree on a trading price of $800 per permit.
Complete the following table with the action each firm will take at this permit price and the amount of pollution each firm will eliminate.
Firm Initial Pollution Permit Allocation (Tons of pollution) Action Final Amount of Pollution Eliminated (Tons of pollution)
Firm X 2
Firm Y 2
Firm Z 2
Determine the total cost of eliminating 6 tons of pollution under each method, and enter the amounts in the following table.
Method Total Cost of Eliminating 6 Tons of Pollution (Dollars)
Regulation
Tradable pollution permits
Answer:
The method cost of eliminating 6 is stated below in the explanation section while,The regulation = 4500, The tradable pollution permits = 2700
Explanation:
Solution
Now,
Every Firm will remove the pollution until the cost of eliminating is lower than the cost of permit.
Thus,
Firm A will not eliminate any pollution as cost is higher than the permit cost, he will prefer to buy 2 more permits from other Firm
Firm B will eliminate 4 tons of pollution as cost is lower for elimination therefore will not require permit and thus sell his 2 permits to firm A.
Then
Firm C will eliminate 2 tons as after that cost is higher than the permit cost.
Firm A Action : Eliminate 2 tons and purchase 2 permits, Total tons eliminated 0
Firm B Action: Eliminate 4 tons and sell 2 permits, Total tons eliminated 4
Firm C Action : Eliminate 2 tons, Total Tons eliminated 2
If the government would have regulated then each firm would have to eliminate 2 tons each hence the cost would have been = 950+1650 + 280+300+600+720=4500
While with tradable permits cost is =280+300+350+450+600+720=2700

May Corporation, a merchandising firm, has budgeted sales as follows for the third quarter of the year:
July $80,000
August $90,000
September $70,000
Cost of goods sold is equal to 65% of sales. The company wants to maintain a monthly ending inventory equal to 130% of the Cost of Goods Sold for the following month. The inventory on June 30 is less than this ideal since it is only $65,000. The company is now preparing a Merchandise Purchases Budget.
Required:
a. The budgeted purchases for July are ____________.
Answer:
Purchases= $63,050
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
July $80,000
August $90,000
September $70,000
The cost of goods sold is equal to 65% of sales.
The company wants to maintain a monthly ending inventory equal to 130% of the Cost of Goods Sold for the following month.
The inventory on June 30 is less than this ideal since it is only $65,000.
To calculate the purchases for July, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 80,000*0.65 + (90,000*0.65)*1.3 - 65,000
Purchases= $63,050
The budgeted purchases for July are $63,050.
Budgeted cost of goods sold $52,000
(65% × $80,000)
Add desired ending merchandise inventory $76,050
[(65% × $90,000)×130%]
Total needs $128,050
($52,000+$76,050)
Less beginning merchandise inventory ($65,000)
Required purchases $63,050
($128,050-$65,000)
Inconclusion the budgeted purchases for July are $63,050.

Environmental recovery company RexChem Partners plans to finance a site reclamation project that will require a 4-year cleanup period. If the company borrows $4.1 million now, how much will the company have to get at the end of each quarter in order to earn 15% per year, compounded weekly on its investment?
Answer:
728,839.57883 per quarter.
Explanation:
1. Effective Annual Rate = 10%
Effective rate continuously compounded = eln(1+r) - 1
ln(1.1) = 0.09531018
Montly rate = 0.09531018/12 = 0.07942515
e0.07942515 -1 = 0.00797414
Hence, monthly continuous rate =
0.797414%
2. Effective Quarterly rate
= (1+(Rate per year/52))Number of weeks
=(1+Rate per quarter)4,
(1+(0.15/52))208=(1+r)4,
r = 16.1583394% per quarter
Now, using the PMT function in excel,
=PMT(16.1583394%,16,-4100000)
728,839.57883
per quarter
Therefore In order to earn 15% per year compounded weekly on its investment at the end of each quarter, the company will have to get $728,839.57883
