Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.

Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.  

A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).

The price of a stock is $55 at the beginning of the year and $50 at the end of the year. If the stock paid a $3 dividend and inflation was 3%, what is the real holding-period return for the year? -3.64% -6.36% -6.44% -11.74%

Answers

Answer:

Real holding period return = - 6.44% (Approx)

Explanation:

Holding period return = [Dividend + (Price of share ending - Price of share start)] / Price of share start

Holding period return = [3 + (50-55)] / 55

Holding period return = -2 / 55

Holding period return = -0.0363636

Real holding period return = [(1 + Holding period return)/(1 + Inflation)] - 1

Real holding period return = [(1 - 0.0363636)/(1+0.03)]-1

Real holding period return = - 0.06443

Real holding period return = - 6.44% (Approx)

The risk manager monitors and manages the firm's risk exposure in financial and commodity markets and the firm's relationships with insurance providers. Privately held, or closely held, corporations are typically owned by a small number of investors, and their shares are not traded publicly.

Answers

Answer:

The missing word is: Financial Risk

Explanation:

To begin with, the name of "Financial Risk" is used in the field of business and finances in order to explain that the companies, and also the government, have to find a way to determine how the firm will finance itself so that they could pay for all the assets they own. Moreover, this financial term implicates the loss of the money that can happen when the company needs to invest in assets and the operations may not go right. So that is why that it is a concept used to understand the danger that the organization has when it comes to acquire the assets and pay for them.

Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.

Answers

Answer: escalation of commitment

Explanation:

Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.

From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.

A Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $26,900. The South Division's divisional segment margin is $42,800 and the West Division's divisional segment margin is $29,900. What is the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions

Answers

Answer:

$45,800

Explanation:

Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = South division's divisional segment margin + west division's divisional segment - corporation's net operating income

Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $42,800 + $29,900 - $26,900

Common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions = $45,800

The Aleutian Company uses departmental overhead rates. The Fabrication Department uses machine hours for an allocation base, and the Assembly Department uses labor hours. What is the Assembly Department overhead rate per labor hour

Answers

Answer:

$4.425 per labor hour

Explanation:

Note: The full question has been attached as picture

Product Rings Labor Hours = 1030 units x 4 labor hours per unit

Product Rings Labor Hours = 4,120 hours

Product Dings Labor Hours = 1810 units x 7 Labor hour per unit

Product Dings Labor Hours = 12,670 hours

Hence, the total Labor Hours = 4,120 hours + 12,670 hours = 16,790 hours

The total Assembly Department Overhead is estimated to be $74,300. Hence, the Assembly Department Overhead rate per labor hour = Total Overhead / Total Labor Hours

Assembly Department Overhead rate = $74,300 / 16,790

Assembly Department Overhead rate = $4.425

You are analyzing two companies that manufacture electronic toys--Like Games Inc. and Our Play Inc. Like Games was launched eight years ago, whereas Our Play is a relatively new company that has been in operation for only the past two years. However, both companies have an equal market share with sales of $200,000 each. You've gathered up company data to compare Like Games and Our Play. Last year, the average sales for industry competitors was $510,000. As an analyst, you want to make comments on the expected performance of these two companies in the coming year. You've collected data from the companies' financial statements. This information is listed as follows:
Like Games
Accounts receivable: 5,400
Net fixed assets: 110,000
Total assets: 190,000
Our Play
Accounts receivable: 7,800
Net fixed assets: 160,000
Total assets: 250,000
Industry Average
Accounts receivable: 7,700
Net fixed assets: 433,500
Total assets: 469,200
Using this information, complete the following statements in your analysis.
1. A _____ days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, _____ is collecting cash from its customers faster than _____, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is _____ than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is _____ that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is _____, which is _____, than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.

Answers

Answer:

1. A LOWER days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, LIKE GAMES is collecting cash from its customers faster than OUR PLAY, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.

2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is LOWER than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is HIGHER that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.

3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is 1.05, which is LOWER than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.

Explanation:

DSO = (accounts receivable / credit sales) x 365

DSO industry = (7,700 / 510,000) x 365 = 5.5 days

DSO Like Games = (5,400 / 200,000) x 365 = 9.9 days

DSO Our Play = (7,800 / 200,000) x 365 = 14.2 days

Fixed asset turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets

Fixed asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 433,500 = 1.18

Fixed asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 110,000 = 1.82

Fixed asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 160,000 = 1.25

Total asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets

Total asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 469,200 = 1.09

Total asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 190,000 = 1.05

Total asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 250,000 = 0.8

In early 2016, the same Germany machinery company has interest from four prospective clients from emerging markets: Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa. They all want to buy ten machines, but the factory can only produce ten in time. Therefore, the company has to choose only one client. Given the volatility of the domestic currencies of the four prospective clients, the CFO would like to choose the client which is least likely to cancel the order due to currency volatility. The invoice comes due on June 30, 2016. According to volatility alone, which prospective client would be most likely to cancel the order?

Answers

Answer:

Brazil

Explanation:

According to the picture below, Brazilian real is the currency that has the lowers currency volatility, its spot is 4.0685, and its forward is 4.1820. These values are way lower than the values of the other three currencies, and for this reason, the CFO should choose the Brazilian client, clearly.

Indonesia is the country that is most likely to cancel this order. This is due to its high volatility.

Following the volatility chart that is attached to this question we can clearly spot that Indonesia has the most likelihood to cancel the order.

The volatility of the currency of the country Indonesia is shown to be high and this high volatility is very much going to have an impact on trade.

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,750 units at $40 per unit. Variable expenses are 30% of the selling price. If total fixed expenses are $39,000, the degree of operating leverage is:

Answers

Answer:

1,750=$40=1,750×40=70-30÷100×39,000=58,3

Explanation:

is total cost of production can be fixed cost +variable cost

Answer:

degree of operating leverage= 4.9

Explanation:

To calculate the degree of operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:

degree of operating leverage= Total contribution margin / operating income

Total Contribution margin= 1,750*(40*0.7)= $49,000

Operating income= 49,000 - 39,000= $10,000

degree of operating leverage= 49,000/10,000

degree of operating leverage= 4.9

Assume that Ray is 38 years old and has 27 years for saving until he retires. He expects an APR of 7.5% on his investments. How much does he need to save if he puts money away annually in equal end-of-the-year amounts to achieve a future value of $1,200,000 dollars in 27 years' time

Answers

Answer:

Annual deposit= $14,882.44

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= $1,200,000

Number of periods= 27 years

Interest rate= 7.5%

To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (1,200,000*0.075) / [(1.075^27) - 1]

A= $14,882.44

Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms. A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.

Required:
a. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the product approach.
b. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the expenditure approach.
c. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the income approach.
d. Now, suppose that the coconut producer cannot sell 1 million coconuts during the course of the year. These are collected coconuts that are not sold to the public (assume that sales to the other firm, the restaurant, remain the same).
e. How does this new piece of information affect your calculations in the expenditure approach? Explain.

Answers

A) Product Approach

GDP = Value added of all industries

Value added = revenue - intermediate costs

Value added coconut producer = $20,000,000 (it does not have intermediate costs)

Value added restaurant = $30,000,000 - $12,000,000 (cost of coconuts)

                                        = $18,000,000

Value added government = $5,500,000 (collected in taxes, $3 million from the restaurant, $1.5 million from the coconut producer, and $1 million from consumers).

GDP = $20,000,000 + $18,000,000 + $5,500,000

        = $43,000,000

B) Expenditure Approach

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports

Consumption = $8,000,000 in coconuts + $30,000,000 in meals

                       = $38,000,000

Investment = $0

Government Spending = $5,500,000 in government wages

Net Exports = $0 (it is a closed-economy)

GDP = $38,000,000 + $0 + $5,500,000 + $0

       = $43,500,000

C) Income Approach

Wages = $14,500,000

Corporate Profits  = $24,000,000

Interest income = $500,000

Taxes = $4,500,000

GDP = $43,500,000

e. How does this new piece of information affect your calculations in the expenditure approach? Explain.

GDP under the expenditure approach, would rise by the value of the unsold coconuts ($1 million) as long as the coconuts were harvested in the given year. This is because inventory produced in the given year, is part of that year's GDP.

Required:
Analyze reasons why there could be differences and the overall financial position of the company. Also, what of the ways the company could finance the company without significant negative changes to the above financial metrics (ratios)?

Answers

Answer:

The company has current ratio almost half than the industry average. This is an indication that the company has lesser current assets than industry average. The ability of the company to meet its short term obligations is not suitable as the other companies in the industry are maintaining double current ratio. The ratio should never go below 1 as if it does the company may face its operational financing and working capital management issues.

The debt to equity ratio is significantly higher than the other companies of the same industry. The industry average is 4 whereas the company has ratio 20. This is significantly higher which indicates that there is heavy burden of debt on the company.  High debt/ equity ratio indicates high risks. Investors avoid investing in such companies which have high debt/ equity ratio.

Explanation:

The company can go for equity financing as it will also help reduce its debt / equity ratio. The company will become less riskier and financing will be divided in debt and equity. The debt burden on assets will be reduced. There can be reduction in certain debt covenants. The company can use equity financing to fund its operations as well as purchase of non current assets to increase production and ultimately profitability of the company could rise.

Answer:

$1,161.23

since the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds will be priced at a premium

Explanation:

In order to calculate the current market price of the bonds we can use the yield to maturity formula:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = 11%n = 15 yearscoupon = $130face value = $1,000

0.11 = {130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]} / [1,000 + market value)/2]

0.11 x [1,000 + market value)/2] = 130 + [(1,000 - market value)/15]

0.11 x (500 + 0.5M) = 130 + 66.67 - 0.067M

55 + 0.055M = 196.67 - 0.067M

0.122M = 141.67

M = 141.67 / 0.122 = $1,161.23

Japan's high population density constitutes a high human capital for work, which justifies the greater commercialization of goods and services. All of these factors justify how Japan became the world's third largest economy.

Acute Company manufactures a single product. On December 31, 2014, it adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. The inventory on that date using the dollar-value LIFO inventory method was determined to be $300,000. Inventory data for succeeding years follow:

Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index (Base Year 2014)
2015 $363,000 1.10
2016 420,000 1.20
2017 430,000 1.25

Required:
Compute the inventory amounts at December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017, using the dollar-value LIFO inventory method for each year.

Answers

Answer:

Acute Company

Year Ended December 31 Inventory at

Respective Year-End   Prices     Relevant Price Index   Dollar-value LIFO

2015                       $363,000      1.10                                 $330,000

2016                         420,000      1.20                                  350,000

2017                         430,000      1.25                                 344,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year Ended December 31 Inventory at Respective Year-End Prices Relevant Price Index (Base Year 2014)

Year   Year-End Prices   Price Index

2015    $363,000           1.10

2016      420,000           1.20

2017      430,000           1.25

Dollar-value LIFO:

2015 = $363,000/1.10 =   $330,000

2016 = $420,000/1.20 = $350,000

2017 = $430,000/1.25 = $344,000

b) The implication is that the respective year-end prices are re-calculated using the 2014 base year index.  This prunes the effect of inflation on the most recent prices when compared to the base year of 2014.  It makes the ending inventories for the years to be comparable since the inflation-influenced cause has been removed.

Nanjones Company manufactures a line of products distributed nationally through wholesalers. Presented below are planned manufacturing data for the year and actual data for November of the current year. The company applies overhead based on planned machine hours using a predetermined annual rate.


Planning Data

Annual November

Fixed manufacturing overhead $1,200,000 $100,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 2,400,000 220,000
Direct labor hours 48,000 4,000
Machine hours 240,000 20,000

Data for November

Direct labor hours (actual) 4,200
Direct labor hours (plan based on output) 4,000
Machine hours (actual) 21,600
Machine hours (plan based on output) 21,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead $101,200
Variable manufacturing overhead $214,000


The fixed overhead volume variance for November was

a. $1,200 unfavorable.
b. $5,000 favorable.
c. $5,000 unfavorable.
d. $10,000 favorable.

Answers

Answer:

Manufacturing overhead volume variance= $1,200 unfavorable

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Fixed Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,200,000/240,000

Fixed Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate=  $5 per machine hour

Now, to calculate the fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance, we need to use the following formula:

Manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual Factory Overhead - Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours

Manufacturing overhead volume variance= (101,200) - (5*20,000)

Manufacturing overhead volume variance= $1,200 unfavorable

CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?

Answers

Answer:

$3.08 per square foot

Explanation:

Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot

First step is to find the common area

Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000

Second step is to find Common area operating costs

Common area operating costs = 700,000×8

Common area operating costs= $5.6 million

Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants

Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2

Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000

Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula

In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet

Let plug in the formula

In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000

In-line CAM charges= $3.08

Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.

Last week she noted that a handful of herbranch’s customers complained about suspicious activity in their checking accounts. She knew that the main branchwould handle it and repair any fraudulent charges. She also knew better than to bother the main branch with these customer complaints because the main branch is always ahead of things like this and quickly reminds her that they seewhat she does. Her only response, therefore, was to assure her customers that their accounts would be repaired withinten business days.The most likely law or regulation that becomes an issue upon her discovery i:__________.

Answer: d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule

Explanation:

The Federal Trade Commission has a Red Flags Rules that requires that financial institutions like Banks should implement a program that is capable of flagging instances of suspicious activity that could point to identity theft in the covered accounts that it holds.

This bank's customers are seeing some suspicious activity in their checking accounts which could point to a case of identity theft. The Red Flags rule could therefore be the most relevant rule to the manager's discovery.

Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)
What is the optimal production quantity for the card?

cost of printing = $0.10 per card

profit made per card sold = $3.75

number of areas where customers are located (n)= 4

mean of customers from each region = 2300

standard deviation for each region = 200

note : each region is independent

The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated going through these steps

first we determine

the cost of card = $0.10 + $0.40 = $0.50

selling value = $3.75

salvage value = 0

next we calculate for the z value

= ( selling value - cost of card) /  ( selling price - salvage value )

= ( 3.75 - 0.50 ) / 3.75  = 0.8667

Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV ( 0.8667 )

next we calculate

u = n * mean demand

  = 4 *  2300 = 9200

б = [tex]200\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 200 * 2

  = 400

Hence optimal production quantity for the card

= u + Z (0.8667 ) * б

= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400

= 9644.3704

≈ 9644
