Answer:
(a) 10.4%; 16.73%
(b) 6.33%
Explanation:
Given that,
Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour
Price level in 2016 = 241
Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour
Price level in 2017 = 245
Real wage rate in 2016:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100
= 0.104 × 100
= 10.4%
Real wage rate in 2017:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100
= 0.1673 × 100
= 16.73%
Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in 2017 is calculated as follows:
= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016
= 16.73% - 10.4%
= 6.33%
Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.
Ajax Corp's sales last year were $400,000, its operating costs were $362,500, and its interest charges were $12,500. What was the firm's times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio
Answer:
3 times
Explanation:
Times Interest earned is a financial ratio that shows how many times an entity's net income or earnings before interest and taxes can be used to settle the company's interest expense.
It is given as the ratio of earnings before interest and tax to interest expense.
Earnings before interest and taxes is the difference of sales and operating costs.
= $400,000 - $362,500
= $37,500
Hence, the firm's times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio
= $37,500/$12,500
= 3

Newham Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product R10L had sales of $23,000 and variable expenses of $10,070. Product X96N had sales of $36,000 and variable expenses of $17,660. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $45,980. The break-even point for the entire company is closest to:
Answer:
$865.75
Explanation:
The computation of break even point is given below:-
Total sales
= $23,000 + $36,000
= $59,000
Total variable cost
= $10,000 + $17,660
= $27,660
So, contribution margin = Total sales = Total variable cost
= $59,000 - $27,660
= $31,340
Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (Total sales) × 100
= $31,340 ÷ $59,000 × 100
= 53.11%
Since, the break even point = Fixed cost ÷ profit margin ratio
= $45,980 ÷ 53.11%
= $865.75
Firm X owns both a grocery store and the parking lot outside the grocery store. In order to increase the traffic at the store, the store should a. Decrease the prices on the goods sold in the store b. Increase the parking rates c. All of the above d. None of the above
Answer:
a. Decrease the prices on the goods sold in the store
Explanation:
When the parking rates are increased, customers will be discouraged from coming to Firm X's grocery store as they know they will have to pay an extra an amount of money just to shop at your grocery store. Therefore customers will not want to come to the grocery store, thereby reducing the traffic at the store.
On the other hand, decreasing the prices on the goods sold in the store will attract more customers as their purchasing power has been increased. This in turns increases the traffic at the store.
n a perfectly competitive industry, the equilibrium price is $56 and the minimum average total cost of the industry's firms is $40. If this is a constant-cost industry, we can expect that in the long run, firms will _____ the market, shifting the industry's short-run supply curve _____.
Answer:
A perfectly competitive industry is an industry in which the number of buyers and sellers is very large, none large enough to influence the industry and are all engaged in buying and selling of a homogeneous product. In perfect competition, equilibrium is the point where market demands equals market supply. A firm's price is determined at this point. In the short run, equilibrium will be affected by demand. In the long run, both demand and supply of a product will affect the equilibrium in perfect competition.
In constant-cost industry, where the equilibrium price is $56 and the minimum average total cost of the industry's firms is $40, we can expect that in the long run, firms will enter the market, shifting the industry's short-run supply curve outward until the new equilibrium price is $40.

For the month of August, the company planned for activity of 86 vehicles, but the actual level of activity was 46 vehicles. The actual materials and supplies for the month was $2,350. The materials and supplies in the planning budget for August would be closest to:
Answer:
Planning budget amount = $3,052.00
Explanation:
The planning budget is als0 known as the fixed budget . It is the budget prepared for the original level of activity intended or planned for. As it's name implies, it is used for planning purpose.
For the month of August, the planning budget
= $2060 + ($12 × 86)
= $3,052.00
Planning budget amount = $3,052.00
Answer:
$3092
Explanation:
The planning budget is the original budget set aside for the production of a planned quantity of goods and services in a company it can also be refered to as the fixed budget of a company
detailed cost formula for materials and supplies = $2060
planned quantity of goods = 86
extra cost per vehicle = $12
Total extra cost for 86 vehicles = 86 * $12 = $1032
hence the materials and supplies in the planning budget would be
= total extra cost + Detailed cost formula for materials and supplies
= $1032 + $2060
= $3092

You hear from a friend that you should invest in bonds, and that Pepsi Co should be a solid (safe) investment because everyone drinks Pepsi. After looking up the information, you find the following. Calculate the current price you Pepsi Co bonds would cost today. Assume that the bond is based off of the highlighted portions as seen to the right, and that the YTM is 3.27%
Issue Date: 2/24/2016
Coupon rate: 2.850%
Maturity Date: 2/24/2026
Number of payments per yr: 2
insert the following information:
PV
I/Y
N
PMT
FV
Answer:
$964.42 approx.
Explanation:
Current value of a bond is the present value of it's future stream of coupon payments as well as it's redemption value upon maturity.
Here, coupon rate = 2.850/2 = 1.425% per period
N = no of periods = 10 years × 2 = 20 periods
Face Value = $1000 assumed
Yield to maturity (YTM) = 3.27/2 = 1.635%
Present Value or [tex]B_{0}[/tex] shall be calculated as:
[tex]B_{0} = \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{1} } \ +\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{2} } \ +........+\ \frac{C}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{20} } \ + \frac{RV}{(1\ +\ YTM)^{20} }[/tex]
[tex]B_{0} = \frac{14.25}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{1} } \ +\ \frac{14.25}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{2} } \ +........+\ \frac{14.25}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{20} } \ + \frac{1000}{(1\ +\ .01635)^{20} }[/tex]
[tex]B_{0}[/tex] = 16.94 × 14.25 + 722.99 = 241.4280 +722.99
[tex]B_{0}[/tex] = $ 964.418
Thus, current price of the bond is $964.42 approx.
Johnson and Gomez, Inc. is a small firm involved in the production and sale of electronic business products. The company is well known for its attention to quality and innovation.
During the past 15 months, a new product has been under development that allows users improved access to e-mail and video images. Johnson and Gomez code named the product the Wireless Wizard and has been quietly designing two models: Basic and Enhanced. Development costs have amounted to $183,000 and $264,000, respectively. The total market demand for each model is expected to be 41,000 units, and management anticipates being able to obtain the following market shares: Basic, 20 percent; Enhanced, 15 percent. Forecasted data follow.
Basic Enhanced
Projected Selling Price $350.00 $450.00
Per-unit productions costs:
Direct material 43.00 69.00
Direct labor 23.00 31.00
Variable overhead 37.00 49.00
Marketing and advertising (fixed but avoidable) 196,000 305,000
Sales commissions* 15% 10%
*Computed on the basis of sales dollars.
Since the start of development work on the Wireless Wizard, advances in technology have altered the market somewhat, and management now believes that the company can introduce only one of the two models. Consultants confirmed this fact not too long ago, with Johnson and Gomez paying $35,000 for an in-depth market study. Sales salaries (excluding commission) will be $88,000 no matter which product is sold. The marketing and advertising costs indicated for each product are incurred only if that product is sold. Other fixed overhead is expected to be the same, regardless of which product is introduced.
Compute the unit contribution margin for both models.

Wholesale Company began the year with merchandise inventory of $ 9 comma 000 . During the year, Upper Y purchased $ 90 comma 000 of goods and returned $ 6 comma 500 due to damage. Upper Y also paid freight charges of $ 1 comma 200 on inventory purchases. At year-end, Upper Y 's ending merchandise inventory balance stood at $ 17 comma 800 . Assume that Upper Y uses the periodic inventory system. Compute Upper Y 's cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold is $ 75.900
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Net Purchases - Closing Inventory
Opening Inventory $ 9,000
Purchases $ 90,000
Less: Purchase returns $( 6,500)
Add: Freight In $ 1,200
Net purchases $ 84,700
Cost of goods available for sale $ 93,700
Less: Closing Inventory $ (17,800)
Cost of goods sold $ 75,900
Upper Y's cost of goods sold for the year is calculated by adding the beginning inventory, net purchases, and freight charges to find the cost of goods available for sale, then subtracting the year-end inventory. The total comes to $75,900.
Explanation:The cost of goods sold for Upper Y can be calculated by first determining the cost of goods available for sale, and then subtracting the ending inventory. The cost of goods available for sale includes the beginning inventory, the cost of goods purchased, and any additional costs incurred for the merchandise.
Firstly, we calculate the net purchases which is the original purchase price subtracting any returns, giving us $90,000 - $6,500 = $83,500.
By adding the value of the net purchases to the merchandise inventory at the beginning of the year and the freight charges, we would get the cost of goods available for sale which is $9,000+ $83,500 + $1,200 = $93,700.
The cost of goods sold is then calculated by subtracting the ending inventory from the cost of goods available for sale, giving us $93,700 - $17,800 = $75,900.
So, Upper Y's cost of goods sold for the year is $75,900.

Bright Eyes manufactures and sells two products. The first product is a disposable contact lens set that lasts about 3 months. The second product is a wetting solution. Customers of the first product use one bottle of solution each month. As a result, bottles of solution outsell lens sets by a 3:1 ratio. Lens sets sell for $36 per set, and have a contribution margin ratio of 50%. The solution sells for $6 per bottle, but only generates variable costs of $1. The company's total fixed costs are $9,900,000.
(a) What level of total sales is necessary to achieve break even?
(b) If a competitor began selling a wetting solution that forced Bright Eyes to reduce the price for its solution to $3 (to maintain market share and the 3:1 ratio of solution to lens), how many lens sets must be sold for the company to break even?
Answer:
A . Break even point = 19,800,000 units
B . Break even point on lens = $14,850,000
Explanation:
Given:
Ratio between wetting solution and lens = 3:1
Sales price of lens = $36
Contribution margin ratio = 50%
Sales price of wetting solution= $6
Variable cost on wetting solution = $1
Total Fixed cost = $9,900,000
A . Computation of Break even point:
Break even point = Total Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Break even point = $9,900,000 / 50%
Break even point = 19,800,000 units
B . Computation of Break even point on lens:
Break even point on lens = 19,800,000 × lens ratio × $3
Break even point on lens = 19,800,000 × (1/4) × $3
Break even point on lens = 19,800,000 × 0.25 × $3
Break even point on lens = $14,850,000

The purchase of common stock gives the holder (a) rights to residual cash flows (b) access to monthly Board of Director’s meetings (c) rights to a contractually set coupon (d) access to the CEO to assist in decision-making (e) rights to a good job with benefits
Answer:
The answer is option A) The purchase of common stock gives the holder rights to residual cash flows
Explanation:
Common stocks have the advantage of offering a high earning potential. Compared to bonds or certificates of deposit, they provide a better opportunity to make a larger return on investment. These other investments are guaranteed, so you know the minimum and maximum amount that you stand to gain from them.
Common Stock gives the holder rights to residual cash flows and provides the highest rate of return in the long run; more than bonds and cash.
Answer:
The correct option is A,rights to residual cash flows
Explanation:
Residual cash flows in this sense refers to cash left after bondholders interests have paid as well as the preferred shareholders's dividends.
The equity shareholders are the ultimate bearers of risk in a company, hence they are seen as the real owners of corporations in that they queue behind other providers of finance for dividends payments.
Even sometimes, they are instead of receiving cash dividends availed script dividend or stock dividend where additional shares are issued to shareholders in lieu of cash dividend payments.

Answer: Participatory leadership
Explanation:
Participatory leadership was considered a controversial and tedious way to lead the troops. The old view of leadership was the hierarchal which was style based on hierarchy, then participatory leadership was not common.
Overtime, due to problems encountered within the corporate sphere and after the reduction in customers trust, participatory leadership is now more popular. It is the style that encourages employees to give their ideas and inputs in the company's decision making. The staff gives useful information on company issues.

A circuit board manufacturer estimates the yearly demand to be 1,000,000. It costs $400 to set up the 3D printer for the circuit board, plus $10 for each one produced. If it costs the company $2 to store a circuit board for a year, how many should be produced at a time and how many production runs will be needed to minimize costs
Answer:
The manufacturer have to produce 20,000 circuit boards per run with 50 production runs
Explanation:
Let x = number of circuit boards to be produced
An average of x/2 circuit boards are stored throughout the year at a cost of $2 each;
so annual storage cost = x/2*2 = x
Note: it costs $10 each to produce x circuit boards and $400 to set up
Therefore, The cost per run = 10x + 400
The 1,000,000 circuit boards at x circuit board per run would require 1000000/x runs.
Therefore, production costs = cost per run * production run
production costs = (10x + 400)*(1000000/x) = 10,000,000 + 400,000,000/x
Total cost C = storage cost + production cost
C = x + 10,000,000 + 400,000,000/x
Set c to zero and differentiate c with respect to x
0=1+0-400,000,000/x²
Therefore x = 20,000
Number of circuit boards that should be produced to minimize cost is 20,000
While the production runs needed = 1,000,000/x = 1,000,000/20,000= 50
The manufacturer have to produce 20,000 circuit boards per run with 50 production runs
Answer:
The Question here is about Minimizing Inventory Costs. It is a topic treated under the Supply Chain Management. It is a concept very crucial to the work of Supply Chain Managers, Operations Managers as well as Accounting and Finance professionals who are tasked with minimizing cost whilst maximizing profit.
Inventory costs may be reduced by:
• Avoid Minimum Order Quantities
• Know Your Reorder Point.
• Organize Your Warehouse.
• Get Rid of Obsolete Stock.
• Implement a Just-in-Time Inventory System.
• Use Consignment Inventory.
• Reduce Your Lead Time.
• Monitor KPIs
The minimum inventory cost according to the factors given in the question above is:
See how we got there below:
Explanation:
Step 1
Number of Circuit Boards expected to be sold in a year = 1,000,000
Cost of each Circuit Board = $10
Cost of Setting up the 3D printer = $400
Cost of Storage for each Circuit board = $2
Step 2
Let
x = the number of circuit boards in each run
Storage Costs as in the question, an average of ([tex]\frac{X}{2}[/tex]) circuit boards are stored throughout the year, at a cost of $2 each, so annual storage costs are
Storage Costs = [tex]\frac{X}{2}[/tex]* 2 = x
Therefore Storage Costs = x
Production Costs The cost per run is given below:
Cost Per Run = (10x + 400) this is x Circuit Boards at $10 each, plus $400 set up costs
The 1,000,000 circuit boards at x circuit boards per run = [tex]\frac{1,000,000}{X}[/tex]
Therefore production costs are:
(Production Cost ) = (10x + 400) * ([tex]\frac{1,000,000}{X}[/tex])
The above expression is cost per run multiplied by number of runs
Total cost The total cost is storage cost plus production cost:
C(x) = x + (10x +400) (1,000,000/x)
Opening up the brackets we have
> C(x) = x + 10,000,000 + (40,000,000/x)
Step 3
For minimum cost the first derivative of the cost function will be equal to 0. Hence differentiating C(x) respect to x and equating to 0 gives:
C'(x) = x + [tex]\frac{40000000}{X}[/tex] + 10,000,000 = 0
First Derivative =
1 - (40,000,000/[tex]X^{2}[/tex]) = 0
1 = [tex]X^{2}[/tex]/40,000,000
[tex]X^{2}[/tex] = 40,000,000
X = [tex]\sqrt{40,000,000}[/tex]
X = 6324.55532034
X is approximately equal to 6,325
So by the second derivative test,
C'' (X) = [tex]\frac{80,000,000}{X^{3} }[/tex] > 0
= 430.886938006 or approximately 431
Therefore
Now for the cost the total number of orders placed at a time will be
= [tex]\frac{6,325}{431}[/tex]
= 14.6751740139 or approximately 15
Step 4
Therefore for minimizing inventory cost, the order size should be 431 Circuit Boards per order, ordered 15 times in a year.

Most viewers of the sitcom Blonde Dream also watch Euphony, a music-based reality show, which is broadcast immediately after Blonde Dream.
An ad for Savor chocolates placed during both of these shows would most likely result in:
A. average coverage.
B. unduplicated reach.
C. duplicated reach.
D. increased sweeps periods.
E. high cost per thousand.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": duplicated reach.
Explanation:
Duplicated reach refers to an advertisement that could have been seen by the same individual in the audience through different mediums. The activity receives the name of duplicated reach but the promotion can reach people through multiple ways such as television, radio, the internet, social media, billboards, to mention a few.
In the example, the Savor chocolate advertisement has a double reach since it is portrayed during the transmission of two different TV shows using one single channel (television).
