The Tradition Corporation is considering a change in its cash-only policy. The new terms would be net one period. The required return is 2.4 percent per period. Based on the following information, what is the break-even price per unit that should be charged under the new credit policy? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Price per unit Cost per unit Unit sales per month
Current Policy $ 93 $ 44 2.675
New Policy ? $ 44 2,750
Answer:
The Tradition Corporation
The break-even price per unit that should be charged under the new credit policy is $95.23.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Required rate of return = 2.4% per period
Price Cost Unit Sales Total Sales Total Cost
per unit per unit per month Revenue
Current Policy $ 93 $ 44 2,675 $248,775 $117,700
New Policy ? $ 44 2,750
New price = $93 * 1.024 = $95.23
b) The new price of $95.23 with the required rate of return will ensure that revenue is not lost as a result of the new credit policy. This implies that all things being equal, The Tradition Corporation would still be in a position to make the normal revenue that it was making under the cash policy.
As a result of a decrease in the demand for U.S. dollars, there has been depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to Macedonian dinars. The depreciation in the U.S. dollar has benefitted some groups but harmed others. Indicate which of the groups are winners and which are losers from the standpoint of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
a. A. Todd, American, to visit Macedonia spring brew
b. An investment bank in Macedonia that is interested in purchasing U.S.
c. Goodyear, a U.S. based firm, selling car tires Macedonia
d. A family from Macedonia visiting relatives in the U.S
e. A firm from Macedonia selling in the US.
f. U .S. based Hewlett-Packard, which is a tech purchasing a high tech company in Macedonia
Answer:
A. Todd, American, to visit Macedonia spring brew
Explanation:
Todd is a loser due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar because now he will need more dollars to buy a comparative amount of South Korea won. His trip will now be more expensive.
An investment bank in South Korea, interested in purchasing U.S. government bonds - winner
The investment bank will exchange fewer wons for U.S. dollars than before. Buying government bonds will now be cheaper for them.
Goodyear, a firm based in the United States, sells car tires in South Korea - winner
Goodyear will likely sell more cars because for its South Korean customers, the cars are now cheaper since the value of the dollar has depreciated against the currency that they hold.
A family from South Korea visits relatives in the United States - winner
The South Korean family will exchange fewer wons for more U.S. dollars, making their trip cheaper.
A firm from South Korea sells handbags in the United States - loser
The handbags will now be more expensive for their American customers, likely causing a loss in sales revenue for the firm.
An electronics manufacturer in the United States, purchases a high tech company in South Korea - loser
The cost of the high-tech South Korean company is now higher for the American manufacturer because more dollars had to be exchanged for wons before the purchase.

Ivanhoe Inc. uses the conventional retail method to determine its ending inventory at cost. Assume the beginning inventory at cost (retail) were $383500 ($584000), purchases during the current year at cost (retail) were $3208000 ($4993600), freight-in on these purchases totaled $149500, sales during the current year totaled $4466000, and net markups were $404000. What is the ending inventory value at cost? Hint: Round intermediate calculation to 3 decimal places, e.g. 0.635 and final answer to 0 decimal places.
Answer:
$962406
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the ending inventory value at cost
Ending inventory value at cost=
($584000 + $4993600 + $404000 - $4466000)
*[($383500 + $3208000 + $149500) ÷ ($584000 + $4993600 + $404000)]
Ending inventory value at cost=$1,515,600*($3,741,000÷$5,891,600)
Ending inventory value at cost=$1,515,600*0.635
Ending inventory value at cost=$962406
Therefore the ending inventory value at cost is $962406

Rizzo Company has debentures ($1,000 par) outstanding that are convertible into the company's common stock at a price of $25. The convertibles have a coupon interest rate of 8% and mature in 12 years. In addition, the convertible debenture is callable at 110% of the par value. Straight debt of equivalent risk is yielding 12%. The company's common stock is selling at $22 per share. The company has a marginal tax rate of 40%. Determine the conversion value of the issue
Answer:
A. $880
B. -$752.23
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the conversion value of the issue
First step is to calculate the Conversion ratio using this formula
Conversion ratio=Per value of security/ Conversion price
Let plug in the formula
Conversion ratio=$1,000/$25
Conversion ratio=40
Now let determine the Conversion value using this formula
Conversion value =Conversion ratio*Conversion price
Let plug in the formula
Conversion value=40*$22 per share
Conversion value=$880
Therefore the conversion value of the issue is $880
B. Calculation to determine the Straight bond value of the issue
Using financial calculator to the Present Value (PV)
PMT=8%*1,000=80
N=12 years
1/Y=12%
FV=1,000
PV=-$752.23
Therefore the Straight bond value of the issue is -$752.23
What happens to the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for orange juice in Florida if a hurricane causes a seasonal orange shortage and the price of apple juice falls substantially. Select the correct answer below: the equilibrium price of orange juice will fall the equilibrium price of orange juice will rise the equilibrium quantity will rise the equilibrium quantity will fall
Answer:
equilibrium quantity would fall
Explanation:
orange is an input for making orange juice
As a result of the hurricane, orange farms would be destroyed. there would be less orange to make orange juice. this would shift the supply curve for orange juice to the left. as a result, equilibrium price would rise and equilibrium quantity would fall
I am assuming that apple juice is a substitute for orange juice. A decrease in the price of apple juice would lead to an increase in the demand for apple juice and decrease the demand for orange juice. the demand curve for orange juice would shift inwards. Equilibrium price and quantity would fall
taking these two effects together, equilibrium quantity would fall. there would be an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price
During December, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods a total of 65,000 units of product. At the end of December, 15,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 80% complete with respect to materials. The beginning inventory included materials cost of $57,500 and the production department incurred direct materials cost of $183,000 during December. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method. rev: 10_05_2019_QC_CS-184681 Multiple Choice $3.70. $2.38. $2.82. $3.12. $4.79.
Answer:
$3 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the direct materials cost per equivalent unit is shown below:
Completed and transferred to finished goods 65,000 units
Equivalent number of additional units in process 15000 units
Beginning inventory material cost $57,500
Direct material cost incurred $183,000
Total direct material cost $240,500 ($57,500 + $183,000)
ANd, the total units is 80,000 (65,000 + 15,000)
So, the direct material cost per equivalent unit is
= $240,500 ÷ 80,000 units
= $3 per unit

Calculate the quick ratio for Smith & Sons, Inc., for 2015 and 2016.
Answer:
2015 Quick Ratio 0.54
2016 Quick Ratio 0.54
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the quick ratio for Smith & Sons, Inc., for 2015 and 2016
Using this formula
Quick Ratio = Quick assets/Current liabilities
Let plug in the formula
2015 Quick Ratio = (2,600-900)/3150
2015 Quick Ratio= 0.54
2016 Quick Ratio = (2500-750)/3,250
2016 Quick Ratio = 0.54
Therefore the quick ratio for Smith & Sons, Inc., for 2015 is 0.54 and 2016 is 0.54

A discount term of 20/15/5 means: Group of answer choices based on the timing of payment, 1 of the 3 discount options can be applied based on the size of the order, 1 of the 3 options can be applied if all conditions are met, all 3 discounts can be applied to the list price all three discounts are possible but it is rare that all three are able to be applied
Answer: If all conditions are met, all 3 discounts can be applied to the list price
Explanation:
This is a series discount which means the following:
20 is for 20% off the list price which leaves 80%.
15 is for 15% off which leaves 85% and,
5 is for 5% off which leaves 95%.
If all conditions placed by the seller are met, all 3 discounts can be applied to the list price.
They are applied by multiplying the discounted price proportions.
= 0.8 * 0.85 * 0.95
= 0.646 will be the discounted price.

Based on the readings: match the following business example with its associated product cost term A businessowner pays for rent and equipment at their office An airline considers the costs of serving food and beverages to its passengers A company considers the costs it pays to its employees A clothing manufacturer buys new machines for its factory A. variable costs B. fixed costs C. fixed cost D. variable costs
Answer:
A business owner pays for rent and equipment at their office ⇒ FIXED COSTs since the amount of rent paid should be the same year after year
An airline considers the costs of serving food and beverages to its passengers ⇒ VARIABLE COSTS since the cost of serving food will increase as the number of passengers increase, or will decrease if the number of passengers decrease
A company considers the costs it pays to its employees ⇒ VARIABLE COSTS since the number of employee can vary and the number of hours worked can also vary
A clothing manufacturer buys new machines for its factory ⇒ FIXED COSTS since the machines are depreciated at a predetermined rate that doesn't depend on the factory's output

Retirement Investment Advisors, Inc., has just offered you an annual interest rate of 6 percent until you retire in 40 years. You believe that interest rates will increase over the next year and you would be offered 6.6 percent per year one year from today. If you plan to deposit $18,000 into the account either this year or next year, how much more will you have when you retire if you wait one year to make your deposit
Answer:
$32,529.54
Explanation:
To determine the answer the difference in future value of the investment options have to be determined
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
First option
$18,000 x (1.06)^40 = $185,142.92
Second option
$18,000 x (1.066)^39 = $217,672.46
Difference in future values = $217,672.46 - $185,142.92 = $32,529.54

Patricia purchased a home on January 1, 2017 for $1,420,000 by making a down payment of $100,000 and financing the remaining $1,320,000 with a 30-year loan, secured by the residence, at 6 percent. During year 2017 and 2018, Patricia made interest-only payments on the loan of $79,200. What amount of the $79,200 interest expense Patricia paid during 2018 may she deduct as an itemized deduction
Answer: $60,000
Explanation:
The maximum amount deductible is based on a mortgage of $1,000,000 and the interest rate of the mortgage being paid.
Interest on $1,000,000 at 6% is:
= 6% * 1,000,000
= $60,000
Only $60,000 of the $79,200 may be deducted.

Calculate payments to suppliers assuming that the company places orders during each quarter equal to 30 percent of projected sales for the next quarter. Assume that the company pays immediately. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 90-day payables period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 60-day payables period.
Answer:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
a. Payment of accounts ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
b. Payment of accounts ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
c. Payment of accounts ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
Explanation:
Given:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Sales ($) 860 940 900 1,000
Therefore, we have:
a. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming that the company places orders during each quarter equal to 30 percent of projected sales for the next quarter. Assume that the company pays immediately. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
This is done as follows:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Order (30% of Sales) ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
Payment of accounts ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
b. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 90-day payables period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
A 90-day payables period implies that the payment has be made within the next 90 days or within one quarter or the same quarter. Therefore, we have:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Order (30% of Sales) ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
Payment of accounts ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
c. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 60-day payables period.
A 60-day payables period implies the payment for the Order in each of the quarters has to be made in the same quarter.
Therefore, we have:
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
Order (30% of Sales) ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
Payment of accounts ($) 258.00 282.00 270.00 300.00
Note:
It can be observed that the answer look the same for all the questions.
Tolbotics Inc. is considering a three-year project that will require an initial investment of $44,000. If market demand is strong, Tolbotics Inc. thinks that the project will generate cash flows of $29,500 per year. However, if market demand is weak, the company believes that the project will generate cash flows of only $2,000 per year. The company thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak.
If the company uses a project cost of capital of 14%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project if the company is ignoring the timing option?
a. -$3,435
b. -$3,779
c. -$3,092
d. -$3,607
Answer:
Expected value NPV =$-,7434
Explanation:
The Expected Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of Expected value cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good and profitable investment project and a negative figure implies the opposite.
Expected value NPV = PV of expected value cash inflow - PV of cash outflow
Present value of cash inflow:
The expected cash in flows is the sum of the cash inflows multiplied by their respective probabilities. For Tolbotics it is calculated as follows:
Expected cash inflows=m (29,500× 0.5) + (2,000× 0.5)=15,750
NPV = 15,750× (1-1.14^(-3)/0.14) - 44,000=-7434.
Expected value NPV =$-7,434
Michelle is an active participant in the rental condominium property she owns. During the year, the property generates a ($17,500) loss; however, Michelle has sufficient tax basis and at-risk amounts to absorb the loss. If Michelle has $120,000 of salary, $10,500 of long-term capital gains, $3,500 of dividends, and no additional sources of income or deductions, how much loss can Michelle deduct?
Answer: $8,000
Explanation:
A special rule allows Michelle to classify up to $25,000 as losses against her nonpassive income.
If Michelle's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $100,000 however, the amount that exceeds the $100,000 will be reduced by 50% and deducted from the exemption allowed.
Loss deduction = Exemption allowed - [(Nonpassive income - MAGI limit) * 50%)
= 25,000 - [ (120,000 + 10,500 + 3,500 - 100,000) * 50%]
= $8,000
why do private and public sector cannot br looked up as two separate entities
Answer:
The private sector and the public sector cannot be viewed as separate entities because the two of them are closely intertwined.
Explanation:
The public sector defines the rules and conditions under which the private sector develops, and the private sector contributes to the finances of the private sector.
For example, a regulatory agency in an economic sector sets the rules of the mining economic sector in a country, and private mining companies abide by these rules in order to develop their business activity. Part of the revenue earned from these business activities are taken as taxes by the public sector, in order to finance the regulatory agency.
Sometimes, the public sector can also consists in public companies that can work together with private firms in common projects.

In 1933, U.S. manufacturers, which used to enjoy steady relationships with their foreign distributors and export nearly 30% of their output, realized that their exports had fallen to only 10% of total output. Which of the following is the most likely reason for this decrease in exports?
a. The low quality of U.S. products
b. Retaliatory tariffs by trading partners
c. War between the United States and Mexico
Answer: b. Retaliatory tariffs by trading partners
Explanation:
In the 20s, the United States instituted a series of tariffs on imports that culminated with the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930 as they hoped to protect the local industry and to increase government revenue.
Some countries replied with their own tariffs on American exports such that American exports to these countries fell significantly and world trade reached a new low as well.
