Come and Go Bank offers your firm a discount interest loan with an interest rate of 9 percent for up to $21 million, and in addition requires you to maintain a 2 percent compensating balance against the face amount borrowed.
What is the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Effective annual rate= %
Answer: 10.11%
Explanation:
The effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement will be calculated thus:
Interest Paid will be:
= 9% × $21 million
= 0.09 × $21 million
= $1.89 million
Amount Received will then be:
= (21million - 1.89million) - (21million)(0.02)
= $19.11 million - $0.42 million
= $18.69 million
Then, the effective annual rate will be:
= 1.89/18.69
= 10.11%
Therefore, the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement is 10.11%.
Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $750 million that must be paid in 17 years. To assess the value of the firm's stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 8.0 percent, what is the present value of this liability
Answer:
$202,701,713.58
Explanation:
Present value of this liability = Value of liability / ((1+r)^t)
Present value of this liability = $750 million / ((1+0.08)^17)
Present value of this liability = $750 million / (1.08)^17
Present value of this liability = $750 million / 3.7000180548
Present value of this liability = $202,701,713.5840815
Present value of this liability = $202,701,713.58
The predicted 2017 costs for Gamma Motors are as follows: Manufacturing Costs Selling and Administrative Costs Variable $250,000 Variable $600,000 Fixed 450,000 Fixed 300,000 Average total assets for 2017 are predicted to be $5,000,000. If the company desires a 10 percent rate of return on total assets, what is the markup percentage on total manufacturing costs for the desired profit
Answer: 200%
Explanation:
First find the return required.
= 10% of total assets
= 10% * 5,000,000
= $500,000
The total manufacturing costs are:
= 250,000 + 450,000
= $700,000
We need to know the amount to increase the manufacturing costs by so that it covers both the desired return and the admin costs:
= (Desired return + Admin costs) / Manufacturing costs * 100%
= (500,000 + 600,000 + 300,000) / 700,000 * 100%
= 200%
Consider the case of Cranked Coffee Company:
Cranked Coffee Company is a mature firm that has a stable flow of business. The following data was taken from its financial statements last year:
Annual sales $10,200,000
Cost of goods sold $6,630,000
Inventory $3,200,000
Accounts receivable $2,200,000
Accounts payable $2,400,000
Cranked Coffee’s CFO is interested in determining the length of time funds are tied up in working capital. Use the information in the preceding table to complete the following table. (Note: Use 365 days as the length of a year in all calculations, and round all values to two decimal places.)
Value
Inventory conversion period 46.93; 41.71; 176.71; or 39.11
Average collection period 27.25; 78.73; 24.38; or 22.94
Payables deferral period 32.50; 41.07; 33.24; or 132.13
Cash conversion cycle 39.62; 122.77; 37.54; 45.88
B: Both the inventory conversion period and payables deferral period use the average daily COGS in their denominators, whereas the average collection period uses average daily sales in its denominator. Why do these measures use different inputs?
Inventory and accounts payable are carried at cost on the balance sheet, whereas accounts receivable are recorded at the price at which goods are sold.
Current assets should be divided by sales, but current liabilities should be divided by the COGS.
C. Is there generally a positive or negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle?(In other words, if a firm has a high level of net working capital, is it likely to have a high or low cash conversion cycle?)
There is a positive relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
There is a negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
D. What are the four key factors in a firm’s credit policy?
Credit terms, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
Credit period, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
E. If the credit terms as published by a firm were 2/15, net 60, this means the firm will:
allow a 2% discount if payment is received within 15 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
allow a 15% discount if payment is received within 2 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
F. The management at Cranked Coffee Company wants to continue its internal discussions related to its cash management. One of the finance team members presents the following case to his cohorts:
Case in Discussion
Cranked Coffee Company’s management plans to finance its operations with bank loans that will be repaid as soon as cash is available. The company’s management expects that it will take 40 days to manufacture and sell its products and 35 days to receive payment from its customers. Cranked Coffee’s CFO has told the rest of the management team that they should expect the length of the bank loans to be approximately 75 days.
Which of the following responses to the CFO’s statement is most accurate?
The CFO is not taking into account the amount of time the company has to pay its suppliers. Generally, there is a certain length of time between the purchase of materials and labor and the payment of cash for them. The CFO can reduce the estimated length of the bank loan by this amount of time.
The CFO’s approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 75 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.
Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
It has a minor effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
Answer:
Cranked Coffee Company
A. Cash conversion cycle = 122.77 days.
B. The measures use different inputs because:
Inventory and accounts payable are carried at cost on the balance sheet, whereas accounts receivable are recorded at the price at which goods are sold.
C. There is a negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
D. Credit period, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
E. If the credit terms as published by a firm were 2/15, net 60, this means the firm will:
allow a 2% discount if payment is received within 15 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
F. The most accurate response to the CFO's statement is:
The CFO’s approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 75 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.
G. Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual sales $10,200,000
Cost of goods sold $6,630,000
Inventory $3,200,000
Accounts receivable $2,200,000
Accounts payable $2,400,000
Inventory conversion period = Inventory ÷ (Cost of sales ÷ 365)
= $3,200,000/$6,630,000 * 365
= 176.17 days
Average collection period = Accounts receivable/Sales * 365
= $2,200,000/$10,200,000 * 365
= 78.73 days
Payables deferral period = Accounts payable/Cost of goods sold * 365
= $2,400,000/$6,630,000 * 365
= 132.13 days
Cash conversion cycle = Inventory conversion period + Average collection - Payables deferral period
= 176.17 + 78.73 - 132.13
= 122.77
XYZ Industries makes heavy construction equipment. The standard for a crane calls for 20 direct labor-hours at $24 per direct labor-hour. During a recent period 875 cranes were made. The labor efficiency variance was $1,200 Unfavorable. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked
Answer:
17,550
Explanation:
Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Actual hours - Standard hours)
$1200 = $24 * (Actual hours - 875*20)
50 = Actual hours - 17,500
Actual hours = 17,500 + 50
Actual hours = 17,550
So, the actual direct labor-hours which were worked is 17,550.
A student borrows $90,000 for business school at 9.0% stated annual interest with equal monthly payments over 9 years. Consider this as a loan with no payments or interest during school so that the problem structure is equivalent to a standard loan received one period before the first payment. How much is the monthly payment

b. We have:
MSE: 47.49
The forecast for week 7: 16.35
c. The exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.
Explanation:
a. Develop the three-week moving average forecasts for this time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7 (to 2 decimals if necessary).
Note: See Part a of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.
From the attached excel file, we can have:
MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 252.11 / 4 = 63.03
The forecast for week 7 = 15.33
b. Use = 0.2 to compute the exponential smoothing values for the time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 7.
Note: See Part b of the attached excel file for the Calculations of Forecast, Error, and Error^2.
From the attached excel file, we can have:
MSE = Mean squared error = Total of Error^2 / Number of observation under the Error^2 = 284.96 / 6 = 47.49
The forecast for week 7 = 16.35
Note that under exponential smoothing, forecast for week 2 has to be the Time Series Value for week 1.
b. Compare the three-week moving average forecast with the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. Which appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE?
Since 47.49 MSE of the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2 is less than 63.03 MSE of the three-week moving average forecast, it implies that the exponential smoothing forecast using = 0.2. appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE.
Goodwill arises when one firm acquires the net assets of another firm and pays more for those net assets than their current fair value. Suppose that Target Co. had operating income of $1,215,000 and net assets with a fair value of $5,400,000. Takeover Co. pays $8,100,000 for Target Co.’s net assets and business activities.

b. Calculation to determine the ROI for Target Co.
Using this formula
Return on investment = Operating income / Net assets * 100
Let plug in the formula
Return on investment=$ 1,215,000 /$5,400,000 * 100
Return on investment= 22.5%
Therefore the ROI for Target Co is 22.5%
c. Calculation to determine the ROI that Takeover Co.
Using this formula
Return on investment = Operating income / Net assets * 100
Let plug in the formula
Return on investment= $180,000 / 8,100,000 * 100
Return on investment=2.22%
Therefore the ROI that Takeover Co is 2.22%
d. Based on the information given the reason
why TAKEOVER CO. is willing to pay the amount of $300,000 more than the FAIR VALUE for the NET ASSETS that was ACQUIRED from Target co., was because Target Co was a profit making company.

Net Revenue = $383000
The net revenue of the company for the year is $383000.
It has been said that Earned Value Management (EVM) came about because the Federal Government often used "Cost-plus" contractors with project organizations. Cost-plus contracting allows the contractor to recover full project development costs plus accumulate profit from these contracts. Why would requiring contractor firms to employ earned value management help the government hold the line against project cost overruns?
Answer:
Earned Value Management (EVM)
The Federal Government requires contractor firms to employ earned value management because it enables it to assess the work that has been completed against an established baseline plan in terms of technical, time, and cost performance.
Armed with this information, it is in a better position to make important project decisions and help to control over-spending.
Explanation:
Earned value management (EVM) as a integrated project management methodology details the project time schedule, costs, and scope to ensure correct measurement of project performance. Using planned and actual values, EVM enables future predictions, improving the ability of project managers to adjust according to requirements.

Decruitment is the planned elimination of ________ in an organization. A) jobs
B) managerial hierarchy C) cross-functional teams D) departments
Answer:
C) cross-functional teams
Explanation:
Human resources management (HRM) can be defined as an art of managing, controlling and improving the number of people (employees or workers), functions, activities which are being used effectively and efficiently by an organization.
Hence, human resources managers are saddled with the responsibility of recruiting, downsizing, decruiting, managing and improving the welfare and working conditions of the employees working in an organization.
A cross-functional team can be defined as a group that comprises of employees from different functional areas within an organization.
Decruitment is the planned elimination of cross-functional teams in an organization.
This ultimately implies that, decruitment is a method adopted by human resource managers to reduce the number of various employees (workforce) working in an organization.
Similarly, downsizing refers to the planned elimination of jobs (job positions) existing in an organization.
Buying Paint April is at the hardware store and must decide whether to buy paint in 11 individual quart cans or to buy it in both gallon and quart cans. Here are the facts:
4 quarts
1 gallon
1 quart costs $4.39
1 gallon costs $13.99
What should April do?
1. Find the cost.
2. Find out how many gallons to buy 2 Gallons.
3. Find the cost. of 4 quarts.
Answer:
a) $41.15
b) Two gallons
c) $48.29
Explanation:
Total individual quarts to be purchased = 11
Number of gallons in 11 quarts = 11/4 = 2
Hence there are 2 gallons and 3 quarts in 11 individual quarts
a) Total price
2 * $ 13.99 + 3 * $4.39 = $41.15
b) Two gallons

Problems and Applications Q8 Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 4.3 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $1.50. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price
We already have the percentage change in quantity demanded as -4.3%.
We need to find the percentage change in price using the midpoint method.
= (New price - Old price) ÷ ((New Price + Old price) / 2)
Old price = 1.50 - 0.25 = $1.25
Percentage change in price = (1.50 - 1.25) ÷ ((1.50 + 1.25) / 2)
= 18.18%
Price elasticity of demand = -4.3% / 18.18%
= -0.24
According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. TRUE.
The statement is true because the price elasticity of demand here is Inelastic and when this is the case, revenue rises when the price of the good or service increases.
The price elasticity of demand is inelastic when it is less than 1 which is the case here.
barcain credit corp. wants to earn an effective annual return on its consumer loans of 12 percent per year. the bank uses daily compounding on its loans. What interest rate is the bank required by law to report to potential borrowers
Answer:
11.17%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What interest rate is the bank required by law to report to potential borrowers
Required Effective Annual Rate = 12%
APR(Daily) = 365[(1.12)^1/365 - 1]
APR(Daily) = 365[(1.12)^0.0027-1]
APR(Daily) = 11.17%
Although direct labor and raw materials costs are treated as manufacturing costs and therefore make up part of the finished goods inventory cost, factory overhead is charged to expense as it is incurred because it is a period cost.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
The period cost is that cost that indirectly related to the process of the production. The sales, general and admin cost should be considerd as the period cost
So as per the given situation, the factory overhead that charged for an expense as incurred so this does not represent the period cost
Therefore the given statement is false
