Two years ago, you invested $3,000.00. Today, it is worth $3,750.00. What rate of interest did you earn?

Answer:

Each product will be allocated with 38.30 dollars of manufacturing overhead as both takes 0.81 DLH

Explanation:

[tex]\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate[/tex]

To calcualte the overhead rate we need to distribute the expected cost over the expected cost driver, in this case, labor hours:

(39,000 + 8,000) x 0.81 DLH = 38,070 labor hous

$1,800,000 overhead / 38,070 DLH =  47,281323877

the overhead per hour is $47.28

overhead per product:

47,281323877 x 0.81 = 38,29787234 = 38.30

Answer: C. may affect the product and company image, alienating its current market

Explanation: Prices of goods and services can be used as a competitive weapon or strategy to gain or maintain market share. Penetration pricing sets price levels low enough to quickly build market share and this may affect the product (as customers expect low prices permanently for the product) , company image (as the brand might be perceived as cheap) and might alienate the company's market (when customers seek perceived higher quality products).

Fruit4U lowering its price for its

gourmet probably in an effort to increase the customer base, may also lead to the product being sold at a loss, a loss it probably could not absorb. Penetrative pricing though, achieves market saturation before competitors copy the product, as such can be seen as an advantage.

Final answer:

Aggressive penetration pricing by Fruit4U for its gourmet popsicles may damage the product and company's image and lead to issues with brand perception. While it might increase sales volume, it could reduce profit margins and create challenges in raising prices in the future without losing price-sensitive customers. c is correct

Explanation:

The Fruit4U company's use of an aggressive pricing strategy, such as penetration pricing, can have several negative effects, despite the initial market penetration. One negative effect is that it may affect the product and company image, potentially alienating its current market. A low price, especially for premium or gourmet products, may lead customers to associate the price with lower quality, which could damage the brand's reputation.

Moreover, while slashing prices can increase sales volume in the short term, it can also lead to a decrease in profits. This is because the costs of producing the popsicles may not decrease as much as the selling price, leading to smaller margins. Another potential issue is that once the prices are set low, it can be difficult to raise them without losing customers who have come to expect the lower pricing, which can create a long-term impact on profitability.

Answer:

The total production engineering cost per machine-hour, at an activity level of 8,800 machine-hours in a month: $107.7

Explanation:

At an activity level of 8,400 machine-hours in a month, Curt Corporation's total variable production engineering cost is $732,480.

Variable production engineering cost per unit = $732,480/8,400 = $87.2

At an activity level of 8,800 machine-hours in a month, total fixed production engineering cost is $180,400 - not changing.

Total variable production engineering cost  = $87.2 x 8,800 = $767,360

Total production engineering cost = Total variable production engineering cost + total fixed production engineering cost = $767,360 + $180,400 = $947,760

Total variable production engineering cost per machine-hour = $947,760/8,800 = $107.7

Explanation:

Subject matter experts are professionals whose expertise in certain fields is wide. They are usually called for assessments or training when part of a project must have the consultancy of somebody who has already been successful in that matter. Though, the subject matter expert is not part of the project itself. These professionals work as third party advisers whose work is requested only when needed.

Final answer:

Subject matter experts are typically involved in specific portions of a project to provide targeted expertise. They're not usually part of the core team for the entire project duration and are chosen based on the relevance of their knowledge.

Explanation:

Subject matter experts (SMEs) are typically brought in to lend their expertise to certain aspects of a project rather than being involved from start to finish. The most accurate statement is that subject matter experts are brought in for meetings and for performing specific project activities when necessary. These experts have deep knowledge in particular areas, which allows them to provide valuable insights and solutions, often having an initial sense of the answer even before a detailed analysis is conducted. Their involvement can be temporary and project-specific, and while they may not always connect strongly to the overall project, their contributions in their domain are vital. It's important to select the right person for the task at hand, someone whose knowledge aligns closely with the project's needs.

Answer:

The answer is A. Cash is increased by debiting

Explanation:

Like all assets, to debit means to increase while to credit means to decrease.

There is no rule that states cash must always have more credits than debit or more debits than credits. Cash account can have more credits than debited and the balance will still be positive and vice-versa.

Cash account can have a credit balance. If this happens that means the business is owing or in debt.

The correct statement concerning cash is that it is increased by debiting. The balance of the cash account, whether it is a debit or credit balance, depends on the specifics of the transactions.

Out of the options provided concerning cash, the accurate statement is: Cash is increased by debiting.

In the double-entry bookkeeping system, a debit entry increases an asset account, and cash is considered an asset. Thus, to increase your cash account, you would debit it.

However, the statements 'Cash will always have more debits than credits' and 'Cash will never have a credit balance' are not universally true. The balance of the cash account depends on the transactions. If there are more debits (increases) to the account than credits (decreases), then it will have a debit balance. If there are more credits than debits, it could potentially have a credit balance.

The question is incomplete because the two mutually exclusive alternatives details were not given in the question.

However, kindly find the complete question below with all the details.:

Question:

Two mutually exclusive alternatives are being considered for the environmental protection equipment at a petroleum refinery. one of these alternatives must be selected. the estimated cash flows for each alternative are as follows:

ALTERNATIVE A:

capital investment= $20,000

annual expenses= $5,500

market value at end of useful life= $1,000

useful life= 5 years

ALTERNATIVE B:

capital investment= $38,000

annual expenses= $4,000

market value at end of useful life= $4,200

useful life= 10 years

a) Which environmental protection equipment alternative should be selected? the firms MARR is 20% per year. assume the equipment will be needed indefinitely

b) Assume the study period is shortened to five years. the market value of alternative B after five years is estimated to be $15,000. which alternative would you recommend

Answer / Explanation:

First, we need to identify the budget line:

The budget line shows the various combination of goods that can be brought by the consumer with the given income. The slope of the budget line is the ratio of two goods prices. It has a negative slope.

Now, to calculate for the present value, we have,

(a) Alternative A = -20,000 - 5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ² - 5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ³ -5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ⁴  - 5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ⁵ + 1000/( 1 + 0.20 ) ⁵

= − 36046.49

    Alternative B = -38,000 - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )  - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )² - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )³ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁴ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁵ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁶ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁷ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁸ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁹

= − 54091.56

Going forward to calculate the annual worth, we have,

Alternative A = NPV / PVIFA ( 20%, 5 years)

                      − 36046.49 / 2.9906

                         =  − $ 12053.26

Alternative B =  NPV / PVIFA ( 20%, 5 years)

                    − 54091.56 / 4.1925

                       = − $ 12901.98

It should be noted that Alternative A should be chosen as it has lower annual cost.

(b) Present Value:

Alternative B = -38000  - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )  - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )² - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )³ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁴ - 15000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁵

=  -  43934.28

Annual Worth for Alternative B therefore is

= -43934.28 / 29906

=  −  $ 14690.79

It should be noted that Alternative A should be chosen as it has lower annual cost.

Final answer:

To decide which environmental protection equipment alternative to select for a refinery, one must analyze the trade-offs displayed on a production possibility frontier and calculate the options' present worth, future worth, or annual worth, considering the MARR and any residual value of the alternatives.

Explanation:

When deciding which environmental protection equipment alternative should be selected at a petroleum refinery, one has to consider the trade-offs between economic output and environmental protection as depicted by a production possibility frontier (PPF). The PPF shows different combinations of economic output and environmental quality a company can achieve. An alternative like P represents more economic output with less environmental protection, while T represents more environmental protection at the expense of economic output. For a decision needed indefinitely and assuming repeatability, economists usually prefer options that are on the PPF, which represents efficient choices. For a study period shortened to five years, with Alternative B having a market value of $17,000 after five years, one would need to calculate the present worth, future worth, or annual worth for each alternative to compare them accurately. When considering market values and MARR (Minimum Attractive Rate of Return), the decision should be the one that maximizes the net benefits over the five-year period while accounting for any residual value.

Answer:

The correct answer for (A) is $575,000 and for (B) is $715,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, given data is :

Cardinals income ( excluding dividends) = $500,000

Dividend received = $250,000

E & P beginning balance = $150,000

interest income from municipal bonds =  $35,000

interest paid = $20,000

Federal taxes paid = $200,000

So,

(A) Taxable income = Income + Dividend received

where, Assume cardinal Corp. entitled for 70% DRD than,

Dividends received  =  $250,000 - $175,000 = $75,000

Hence, Taxable income = $500,000 + $75,000

= $575,000

(B) E & P  balance = ( E&P beginning balance +Taxable income + DRD + Interest Income ) - ( Interest paid + Federal taxes paid )

= ( $150,000 + $575,000 + $175,000 + $35,000) - ( $20,000 + $200,000)

= $715,000

After accounting for the three items, Cardinal Corporation's taxable income is $730,000. The accumulated E & P at the start of the next year is $680,000.

The question asks about the taxable income and accumulated E & P of the Cardinal Corporation after considering the impact of dividend income, interest income, and interest expense.

We can calculate Cardinal's taxable income by adding the $500,000 base taxable income to the $250,000 dividend income, but we have to exclude the $35,000 municipal bond interest (since it's tax-exempt). We also need to subtract the $20,000 interest expense. This will give us $500,000 + $250,000 - $20,000 = $730,000 as the taxable income after these items are taken into account.

Regarding accumulated E&P, it will be equal to the amount at the end of the previous year, plus the current year's net income, minus any dividends paid. Since there’s no information about dividends, we’ll assume there were none. Therefore, the beginning E&P ($150,000), plus this year's net income (after the federal tax), which is $730,000 - $200,000 = $530,000. Thus, Cardinal Corporations accumulated E & P at the start of the next year is $150,000 + $530,000 = $680,000.

ROE in full is return on equity. It is used to determine return that investors receive from providing capital in form of shares to a company. In this case, it is calculated by dividing Starbucks' 2015 net income by the total shareholders equity.

ROE = Net income / total equity

ROE = $2,757.4 million / $5,818 million

ROE = 0.4739 or 47.39% as a percentage

Return on equity is therefore 47.4%

b.)

When a company repurchases shares, it means that it is buying back the shares from the shareholders. This can happen when the financial managers think that the company shares are undervalued. The net effect of a buy-back is a reduction in the number of shares outstanding hence in the above formula for ROE, when the denominator (total equity) value is small, the ROE will increase.

Answer:

$53,000

Explanation:

The accounting equation gives the relationship between the 3 elements of the balance sheet namely; assets, liabilities and equity as shown below.

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Given that On March 1, ABX Company’s assets are $104,000 and its liabilities are $34,000 then on that day

Equity = $104,000 - $34,000

= $70,000

If On March 5, ABX is fined $17,000 for failing emission standards. ABX immediately pays the fine in cash.

This will result in a debit to fines and penalties (p/l) and a credit to cash. Thus, assets and equities reduce by $17,000

After the fine is paid, the amount of equity for ABX

= $70,000 - $17,000

= $53,000

The correct statement is that the equity for ABX after the payment of the fine will be $53,000. This is able to be calculated by using the formula for calculation balance sheet tallying method.

The balance sheet of a business consists of assets and equities and liabilities. The amount of assets at the end of the accounting year is equal to the amount of equities and liabilities.

Hence, the equities of ABX as on March 5th will be $53,000.

In 1975 dollars, a 1975 tennis ball cost $0.027, so tennis balls were cheaper in 1975.

To find the cost of a 1975 tennis ball in 1975 dollars, we need to adjust the price using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The formula to adjust for inflation is:

Inflation-adjusted price = (Nominal price) x (CPI in year 1) / (CPI in year 2)

Using this formula, the inflation-adjusted price of a 1975 tennis ball in 1975 dollars is:

Inflation-adjusted price = $0.10 x 52.3 / 191.3

Inflation-adjusted price = $0.027

Therefore, in 1975 dollars, a 1975 tennis ball would cost $0.027, which is closer to option a. $0.27. Therefore, tennis balls were cheaper in 1975.

The correct option is B. Using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a 2005 tennis ball costing $1.00 would be equivalent to $0.27 in 1975 dollars. Therefore, tennis balls were cheaper in 2005 in terms of 1975 dollars.

To determine the cost of a 2005 tennis ball in 1975 dollars, we need to adjust for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI in 1975 was 52.3, and in 2005 it was 191.3. We use the formula:

Adjusted Price = Nominal Price × (CPI in starting year / CPI in ending year)

For a 2005 tennis ball costing $1.00 with a CPI of 191.3:

Adjusted Price = $1.00 × (52.3 / 191.3) ≈ $0.27

So, in 1975 dollars, a 2005 tennis ball cost approximately $0.27, meaning the correct option is b.

Explanation:ROE(RETURNS ON EQUITY) This is a term used in financial analysis,it is the percentage representation of the value of a company's NET INCOME DIVIDED BY THE VALUE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS SHARES. Both the balance sheet and the income statement is used when calculating ROE.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY tries to Describe how well the management of the entire Operations is carried out. It is a major determining factor in ROE.

EFFICIENCY IN USE OF TOTAL ASSETS this is a term used to determine how well a company is effectively using it's assets. This assets can be in the form of Financial, Machines,raw materials etc.

Since ROE involves NET INCOME, efficiency in use of total assets is a major determining factor in ROE.

DuPont analysis evaluates operational efficiency and efficiency in total assets' use as essential factors for a company's Return on Equity (ROE). In contrast, the market-to-book-value ratio doesn't directly affect the ROE.

The DuPont analysis is a performance measurement method that helps evaluate the factors driving a company's return on equity (ROE). According to the DuPont equation, a company's ROE is directly affected by three factors: the company's operational efficiency, its efficiency in the use of total assets, and financial leverage. The market-to-book-value ratio, however, is not part of the DuPont analysis and thus does not directly influence a company's ROE.

Answer:

The correct answer is 777.169.56.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Payment per year (PMT) = $3,000

Time (N) = 40 years

Rate of interest (R)= 8%

So, the future value of the following can be calculated by using the following formula:

Future value = PMT × [tex]\frac{((1+r)^{n} -1)}{R}[/tex]

Now, put the value of the following in the formula. then,

= 3,000 × [tex]\frac{((1+8/100)^{40} -1)}{8/100}[/tex]

= 3,000 × 259.0565

= 777,169.56

Hence, the value in the account after 40 years will be 777,169.56.

Final answer:

By saving $3,000 annually for 40 years in an account with an 8% interest rate, you will accumulate approximately = 777,169.56 , calculated using the future value of an annuity formula.

Explanation:

To calculate the future value of saving $3,000 a year for 40 years in an account with an annual interest rate of 8%, we use the future value of an annuity formula. This formula is given by FV = P *[((1 + r)ⁿ - 1) / r], where P is the annual payment, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), and n is the number of payments.

In this case, P = $3,000, r = 0.08 (8% expressed as a decimal), and n = 40. Plugging these values into the formula gives FV = 3000 * [((1 + 0.08)⁴⁰ - 1) / 0.08],  

3,000 × 259.0565 which calculates to a future value of approximately = 777,169.56

Thus, after 40 years of saving $3,000 annually at an 8% interest rate, you will have= 777,169.56  in your account.

Final answer:

Bob's statement aligns with the Natural law school of thought (A), where goods and services, like donuts, are believed to distribute themselves according to inherent moral principles without the need for governmental interference, reflecting Natural Law Theory.

Explanation:

Bob's statement reflects the Natural law school of thought (A), which posits that justice is a part of natural order and goods will equitably distribute themselves according to natural principles. His view suggests that distributive justice should occur with minimal governance, aligning with Natural Law Theory. Natural Law Theory emphasizes that moral principles are inherent in the behaviors corresponding with human nature and reasoning.

Principles of distributive justice play a critical role in shaping ideologies concerning what basic needs are, how resources should be allocated, and the level of governmental interference in these processes. The natural law perspective holds that there should be as little governmental interference as possible in the distribution of goods, relying on the principle of individuals acting in accordance with inherent moralities. Moreover, the idea of self-regulation without any external imposition aligns with this philosophical stance.

Bob's casual mention of donuts distributing themselves according to who enjoys them most invokes the intuition that all things, including resources and goods, should find their place in society naturally. This reflects the broad principle of Natural Law Theory, where the distribution of goods is seen as a reflection of natural justice, rather than a system built on social or governmental constructs.

If entrepreneurs find that all the traditional applications for their products have disappeared and they are left with surplus products, the element of the SCAMPER tool they are most likely to employ is 'Put to other uses'. The 'Put to other uses' option encourages exploring non-traditional uses for a product, which can help the entrepreneurs to use up their surplus. For instance, baking soda, originally used for baking, found its way into a variety of uses, such as cleaning, neutralizing odors, and health applications.

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold = $100,000,000

Explanation:

given data

gross sales of $300,000,000

returns = $10,000,000

beginning worth of inventory = $20,000,000

During year worth of inventory = $105,000,000

end year worth of inventory =  $25,000,000

solution

we get here Cost of Goods Sold that is express as

Cost of Goods Sold = Cost of Goods purchased + Beginning Finished Goods Inventory - Ending Finished Goods Inventory   .......................1

put here value we get

Cost of Goods Sold = $105,000,000 + $20,000,000 - $25,000,000

Cost of Goods Sold = $100,000,000

Star Corp.'s cost of goods sold (COGS) for the year 2018 can be calculated using the formula: Beginning Inventory + Purchases - End Inventory. The COGS for Star Corp. is $100,000,000.

The cost of goods sold (COGS) for Star Corp. can be calculated using the formula: Beginning Inventory + Purchases - End Inventory. Given that Star Corp. had a beginning inventory of $20,000,000 and purchased $105,000,000 worth of inventory during the year, and had an ending inventory of $25,000,000, we can calculate the COGS as follows:

COGS = $20,000,000 + $105,000,000 - $25,000,000 = $100,000,000.

Therefore, Star Corp.'s cost of goods sold for the year 2018 was $100,000,000.

I'm just going off of the information you have given, I would think it would be all of the above because too much of anything is mentally draining and ends up becoming menotanus.

The situations that can lead to noncooperative behavior in repeated games include: rapidly changing payoffs, finite repetitions of the game, and a large number of players.

Noncooperative Behavior in Repeated Games

In repeated games, players engage in strategic interactions multiple times, which can lead to differing levels of cooperation based on various factors. Situations that are likely to generate noncooperative behavior include: when payoffs can change rapidly from one period to the next, when the game has a finite number of repetitions, and when there are many players. Rapid changes in payoffs can make it difficult for players to predict and trust each other, thus undermining cooperation. A finite repetition of games enables a 'last period' problem, where players have no incentive to maintain cooperation in the final round, leading to a potential unraveling of cooperation backward from the last period. Lastly, with many players, the likelihood of *defection* going unpunished and untracked is higher, making noncooperative strategies more prevalent.

Noncooperative strategies are a stable choice because they prevent exploitation by another player who may choose not to cooperate. Under circumstances that make future interactions uncertain or less valuable, players have less incentive to cooperate in the present, as there is less to be gained from building a reputation for cooperation.

Answer:

Option (a) $11,989

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Taxable income = $79,280

Now,

we should know,

Tax rate    Taxable income          Tax owed

10%               $0 to $13,600      10% of taxable income

12%        $13,601 to $51,800     $1,360 plus 12% of the amount over                                                                $13,600

22%        $51,801 to $82,500    $5,944 plus 22% of the amount over                                                             51,800

Since,

Income of $79,280 lies in the taxable income bracket of $51,801 to $82,500

Therefore,

Income tax for Marks = $5,944 + 22% of ($79,280 - $51,800 )

= $5,944 + ( 0.22 × 27480 )

=  $5,944 + $6,045.6

= $11,989.6 ≈  $11,989

Hence,

Option (a) $11,989

b. What is the predicted short- and long-term growth rate?

Explanation:

Market is a place where sellers interact with buyers to sell goods and services.

In the micro sense, markete exist to maximise profit by considering dynamics of price which is determined by demand and supply.

But in the long run the rate of short term and long term growth is the primary concern. This will help sellers plan for long term production volumes of goods based on projections. And will reduce waste that will occur in a slow growth market.

Final answer:

A T-account is a visual representation of a balance sheet. For a bank, assets are placed on the left side, and liabilities and net worth are placed on the right side. The net worth of the bank is the total assets minus total liabilities.

Explanation:

A T-account is a visual representation of a balance sheet that helps track the changes in specific accounts related to a transaction. For a bank, assets are placed on the left side of the T-account, and liabilities and net worth are placed on the right side. The bank's assets include reserves, government bonds, and loans, while its liabilities include deposits made by customers. The net worth of the bank is calculated by subtracting total liabilities from total assets. In this case, the bank's T-account balance sheet would show:

Bank's Assets

Bank's Liabilities

Bank's Net Worth

Answer:

$2,317,000

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted-average accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization purposes is shown below:

For expenditure on March 1

= $1,932,000 × 10 months ÷ 12 months

= $1,610,000

On June 1

= $1,212,000 × 7 months ÷ 12 months

= $707,000

On December 31, it would be zero

So, the accumulated expenditures is

= $1,610,000 + $707,000

= $2,317,000

Final answer:

The weighted-average accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization purposes for Concord Company is calculated by multiplying each expenditure by the number of months it was outstanding and summing them up. The total comes to $30,885,610.

Explanation:

The student is asking for the computation of Concord Company's weighted-average accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization purposes over the construction period of a building. To calculate this, we will consider the dates and amounts of expenditures made during the construction period.

Calculation of Weighted-Average Accumulated Expenditures:

Determine the amount of time each expenditure was outstanding during the construction period.

Multiply each expenditure by the number of months it was outstanding to calculate the weighted expenditure.

Add the weighted expenditures to determine the total weighted-average accumulated expenditures.

Expenditures were as follows:

$1,932,000 on March 1 (10 months outstanding)

$1,212,000 on June 1 (7 months outstanding)

$3,081,610 on December 31 (1 month outstanding)

The weighted expenditures will be:

$1,932,000 x 10 = $19,320,000

$1,212,000 x 7 = $8,484,000

$3,081,610 x 1 = $3,081,610

The total weighted-average accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization purposes is the sum of the individual weighted expenditures, which equals $19,320,000 + $8,484,000 + $3,081,610 = $30,885,610.
