a. If the direct exchange rate increases, the dollar strengthens relative to the other currency.
b. If the indirect exchange rate increases, the dollar also strengthens relative to the other currency.
Explanation:
When the exchange rate increases, it means that more of the other currency is required in order to embark on importing and exporting transactions. However, the increases will weaken the ability of the importing currency to afford the dollar-based goods, which have then being made more expensive.

Which of the following does not dilute the value of collecting opinions from a number of people (e.g., regarding a performance evaluation or hiring decision)?
A. They have discussed the matter with each other.
B. They evaluated the same materials.
C. They have discussed the matter with the same people.
D. They have similar backgrounds.
Answer:
The correct answer is A:
They have discussed the matter with each other.
Explanation:
The objective of collecting opinions from a number of people with regard to a particular subject such as performance evaluation or a hiring decision is to ensure that via the consideration of heterogeneous perspectives, the best decision is arrived at.
The very nature of collecting opinions from people who are most likely to view the subject from different unique perspectives requires that the subject be discussed. Hence, Option A cannot be a diluting factor.

Warren Enterprises expects 20,000 unit sales, has ordering costs of $20 per order, carrying costs of $1.00 per unit, and desires to keep 100 units in safety stock. Assuming level production, what should be their average inventory? a. 200-300 b. 301-400 c. 401-500 d. 501-600
Answer:
Option d (501-600) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Given:
Unit sales,
= 20,000
Ordering costs,
= $20
Carrying costs,
= $1
Safety stocks,
= 100
Now,
The EOQ will be:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times Unit \ sales\times Ordering costs}{Carrying \ costs} }[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times 20000\times 20}{1} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{800000}[/tex]
= [tex]894.43 \ units[/tex]
hence,
The average inventory will be:
= [tex][Safety \ stock +(\frac{EOQ}{2} )][/tex]
= [tex][100+(\frac{894.43}{2} )][/tex]
= [tex][100+447.21][/tex]
= [tex]547.21[/tex] (lies between 501-600)
Thus the above is the correct response.

Moody Farms just paid a dividend of $3.95 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 5 percent per year indefinitely. Investors require a return of 14 percent for the first three years, a return of 12 percent for the next three years, and a return of 10 percent thereafter. What is the current share price
Answer:
$81.52
Explanation:
The current share price is the present value of future dividends as well as the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 6 as shown thus:
Current dividend=$3.95
Year 1 dividend=$3.95*(1+5%)=$4.15
Year 2 dividend=$4.15*(1+5%)=$4.36
Year 3 dividend=$4.36*(1+5%)=$4.58
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the FIRST 3 years above is 14%
Year 4 dividend=$4.58*(1+5%)=$4.81
Year 5 dividend=$4.81*(1+5%)=$5.05
Year 6 dividend=$5.05*(1+5%)=$5.30
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the NEXT 3 years above is 12%
Terminal value of dividend=Year 6 dividend*(1+growth rate)/(rate of return-growth rate)
growth rate=5%
rate of return=10%(rate of return thereafter)
terminal value=$5.30*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)
terminal value=$111.30
current share price=$4.15/(1+14%)+$4.36/(1+14%)^2+$4.58/(1+14%)^3+$4.81/(1+12%)^4+$5.05/(1+12%)^5+$5.30/(1+12%)^6+$111.30/(1+10%)^6
current share price=$81.52
A fixed coupon bond with 10 years left until maturity and a coupon that is paid semi-annually is currently trading at a yield of 6%. If the price of the bond is $1,223.16, then the coupon rate is ____%. Par value is $1,000.
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
FV = 1000
No of compounding period = 2
No of years = 10
Nper = 20
Yield to maturity = 6%/2 = 3%
PV = 1223.16
Coupon payment = PMT(Rate, Nper, Pv, Fv)
Coupon payment = $45
Coupon rate = Coupon payment * Compounding per year / FV
Coupon rate = $45 * 2 / 1000
Coupon rate = 0.09
Coupon rate = 9%

1. Cost behavior formula:
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0q
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20q
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)
2. Cost of each item for an activity output level of 8,000 moves:
Forklift depreciation = $1,600
Indirect labor = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $5,680
3. Total cost formula = $48,150 + $6.47q
Materials handling cost = $99,880
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Resource Number of Moves Total Cost
Forklift depreciation:
Low 5,000 $1,600
High 15,000 1,600
Indirect labor:
Low 5,000 $74,000
High 15,000 136,000
Fuel and oil for forklift:
Low 5,000 $3,550
High 15,000 10,650
Cost behavior formula for each resource:
Forklift depreciation:
Low 5,000 $1,600
High 15,000 1,600
Difference 10,000 $0
Variable cost per unit = $0 ($0/10,000)
Fixed cost = $1,600
Cost behavior formula = $1,600 + $0q
Indirect labor:
Low 5,000 $74,000
High 15,000 136,000
Difference 10,000 62,000
Variable cost per unit = $6.20 ($62,000/10,000)
Fixed cost = $43,000 ($74,000 - ($6.20*5,000))
Cost behavior formula = $43,000 + $6.20q
Fuel and oil for forklift:
Low 5,000 $3,550
High 15,000 10,650
Difference 10,000 $7,100
Variable cost per unit = $0.71 ($7,100/10,000)
Fixed cost = $3,550 ($3,0 - ($0.71 * (15,000 - 5,000))
Step cost
Cost behavior formula = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680
Total cost formula: Fixed + Variable
Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600
Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600
Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680
$48,150 + $51,730 = $99,880
= $48,150 + $6.47q ($51,730/8,000)
Materials handling cost = ($1600 + $43000) + ($6.20 + $0.71) X
= $44600 + $6.91 X
Y = $44600 + ($6.91 x 8000)
= $44600 + $55280
= $99880
An increase in the price of rubber coincides with an advance in the technology of tire production. As a result of these two events,a. the demand for tires decreases and the supply of tires increases.b. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires decreases.c. the demand for tires is unaffected and the supply of tires increases.d. None of the above is necessarily correct. What should be the demand and supply?
Answer:
d
the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tires could increase, decrease, or stay the same.
Explanation:
An increase in the price of rubber would lead to an increase in the cost of producing tires. Rubber is an input required in the production of tires.
As a result of the increase in the cost of rubber, the supply of rubber would decrease. This would lead to a leftward shift of the supply curve. Equilibrium price would increase and quantity would decrease
As a result of the advance in technology, there would be an increase in the supply of tires. As a result, the supply curve shifts outward. Equilibrium price would decrease and quantity would increase
Taking these wo effects together, the demand for tires is unaffected and effect on the supply of tire is indeterminate

How much would you have had to invest now in an account paying 8% / year to to have $20,000 in 21 years
Answer:
PV= $3,978.115
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Interest rate (i)= 8% = 0.08
Future value (FV)= $20,000
Number of periods (n)= 21 years
To calculate the lump-sum to be invested today, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 20,000 / (1.08^21)
PV= $3,978.115
1. Inventory that consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have not yet entered the manufacturing process is known as ________. work in process inventory materials inventory finished goods inventory None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
materials inventory
Explanation:
An inventory is a term used to describe a list of finished goods, goods still in the production line and raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of more goods in a bid to meet the unending consumer demands.
Basically, an inventory can be classified into three (3) main categories and these are; finished goods, work in progress, and raw materials.
An inventory is recorded as a current asset on the balance sheet because it's primarily the most important source of revenue for a business entity.
Generally, the three (3) main cost concept associated with an inventory include;
1. First In First Out (FIFO).
2. Last In First Out (LIFO).
3. Weighted average cost.
In Financial accounting, direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
Materials inventory can be defined as an inventory that comprises of direct and indirect materials costs which have not been used in a manufacturing process.

The current price of an annual coupon bond is 100. The derivative of the price of the bond with respect to the yield to maturity is -700.The yield to maturity is an annual effective rate of 8%. Calculate the duration of the bond.
Answer:
The duration of the bond = 7.56 years
Explanation:
Given the current price = 100
DM = -1 x Current derivative price / Current price
DM = (-1 x -$700 / $100)
DM = 7
Now, D = DM (1 + r)
D = 7 (1 + 0.08)
D = 7.56
The duration of the bond = 7.56 years
Mustang Corporation reports the following for the month of April:Finished goods inventory, April 1$32,600 Finished goods inventory, April 30 26,600 Total cost of goods manufactured 123,800The cost of goods sold for April is:a. $61,900.b. $124,500.c. $112,900.d. $173,700.e. $150,000
Answer:
COGS= $129,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Finished goods inventory, April 1$32,600
Finished goods inventory, April 30 26,600
Total cost of goods manufactured 123,800
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 32,600 + 123,800 - 26,600
COGS= $129,800
Suppose a company owns a warehouse that costs $500,000 and depreciates at $10,000 per year. If the interest rate is 5%, what is the implicit rental price of the warehouse
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
Implicit rental price = Interest payment + Depreciation
Interest payment = 5% * 500,000
= $25,000
Implicit rental price is therefore:
= 25,000 + 10,000
= $35,000

A company had cash sales of $49,527, credit sales of $38,540, sales returns and allowances of $7,100 and sales discounts of $4,375. The company's net sales for this period equals what? (I added cash sales and credit sales. Then I subtracted sales returns and allowances and sales discounts. Not sure if my calculations are correct.) Please explain your answers.
Answer:
The company's net sales for this period equal to $76,592
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the total sales using the following formula
Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit sales
Where
Cash Sales = $49,527
Credit sales = $38,540
Placing values in the formula
Total Sales = $49,527 + $38,540
Total Sales = $88,067
Now use the following formula to calculate the net sales
Net Sales = Total Sales - Sales returns and allowances - Sales discount
Where
Total Sales = $88,067
Sales returns and allowances = $7,100
Sales discount = $4,375
Placing values in the formula
Net Sales = $88,067 - $7,100 - $4,375
Net Sales = $76,592
The net profit margin ratio can mathematically be broken down as:______.

Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) has two divisions, L and H. Division L is the company’s low-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 8% if it was operated as an independent company. Division H is the company’s high-risk division and would have a weighted average cost of capital of 14% if it was operated as an independent company. Because the two divisions are the same size, the company has a composite weighted average cost of capital of 11%. Division H is considering a project with an expected return of 12%. Should Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) accept or reject the project?
Answer:
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC)
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) should reject the project. The basis for rejecting Division H's project is that its return (12%) is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division (14%).
Explanation:
a) Data:
Division L's weighted-average cost of capital = 8%
Division H's weighted-average cost of capital = 14%
Weight of Division L = 50%
Weight of Division H = 50%
Company composite weighted average cost of capital = 11% (8% * 50%) + (14% * 50%)
Expected return from a proposed project for Division H = 12%
A firm's year-end price on its common stock is $55. The firm has a profit margin of 6 percent, total assets of $75 million, a total asset turnover ratio of 0.9, no preferred stock, and 2.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. Calculate the PE ratio for the firm.
Answer:
34
Explanation:
Price/Earning ratio (PE) = Price per Share ÷ Earnings per share
where,
Earnings per share = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Stock Outstanding
= (0.9 x $75 million x 0.06) ÷ 2.5 million shares
= 1.62
therefore,
Price/Earning ratio (PE) = $55 ÷ $1.62 = 33.95 or 34
You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 13 years to maturity. If the yield to maturity on this bond is 4.9 percent, what is the dollar price of the bond
Answer:

A 3-year bond with 10% coupon rate and $1,000 face value yields 8% yield to maturity. Assuming annual coupon payment, calculate the price of the bond.
Answer: $1051.51
Explanation:
Coupon rate = 10%
Face value = $1,000
Yield to maturity = 8%
Annual coupon will be:
= Face value × Coupon rate
= 1000 × 10%
= 100
Therefore, the price of bond will be:
= Annual coupon × Present value of annuity factor + $1000 × Present value of the discounting factor
= (100 × 2.5771) + (1000*0.7938)
= 257.71 + 793.8
= $1051.51
The price of the bond is $1051.51
