The manager of the Quick Stop Corner convenience store (which is open 360 days per year) sells four cases of Stein soda each day (1440 cases per year). Order costs are $8.00 per order. The lead time for an order is three days. Annual holding costs are equal to $57.60 per case. If the manager orders 16 cases each time she places an order, how many orders would she place in a year
Answer:
90 orders she would place in a year
Explanation:
The total annual cases of Stein soda that the manager buys are 1,440 cases. If she were to place 16 cases in a single order then we would divide the total cases bought in a year by the cases bought in a single order to determine the number of orders the manager would place in a year. As shown below:
No. of orders placed in a year = Annual Total Cases bought / Cases purchased in single order
No. of orders placed in a year = 1,440 / 16
No. of orders placed in a year = 90 orders
The management of Gibraltar Brokerage Services anticipates a capital expenditure of $26,000 in 2 yr for the purpose of purchasing new computers and has decided to set up a sinking fund to finance this purchase. If the fund earns interest at the rate of 11%/year compounded quarterly, determine the size of each (equal) quarterly installment that should be deposited in the fund. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
$2,949.91.
Explanation:
The size of the quarterly installment can be determined by finding the (Payment) PMT amount using tie value of money principles.
Here I used a financial calculator to set my values and calculate PMT as :
PV = $0
N = 2 x 4 = 8
P/yr = 4
I = 11 %
FV = $26,000
PMT = ?
Therefore the (Payment) PMT is $2,949.91. The size of each (equal) quarterly installment should be $2,949.91.
All of the following are true about the basic EOQ model except One half the order size equals the average inventory level. The average dollar value of inventory equals unit price multiplied by order quantity. Annual demand divided by EOQ will give the optimal number of orders per year. The reorder point equals daily demand multiplied by the lead time in days, excluding safety stock.
Answer:
Hence, the second statement describing the average inventory is false
Explanation:
The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost. It is the order size that optimizes the investment in stock ordering.
The following statements
The number of orders = Annual demand/order size
Re-order level(point) Average daily usage × average lead time
Average inventory = safety stock × (1/2× order size)
The average Dollar value = Unit price × average inventory
Hence, the second statement describing the average inventory is false
Since 1970, Super Rise, Inc., has provided maintenance services for elevators. On January 1, 2016, Super Rise obtains a contract to maintain an elevator in a 90-story building in New York City for 10 months and receives a fixed payment of $95,000.
The contract specifies that Super Rise will receive an additional $47,500 at the end of the 10 months if there is no unexpected delay, stoppage, or accident during the year.
Super Rise estimates variable consideration to be the most likely amount it will receive.
Required:
1. Assume that, because the building sees a constant flux of people throughout the day, Super Rise is allowed to access the elevators and related mechanical equipment only between 3am and 5am on any given day, which is insufficient to perform some of the more time-consuming repair work. As a result, Super Rise believes that unexpected delays are likely and that it will not earn the bonus. Prepare the journal entry Super Rise would record on January 1. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, record "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
2. Assume instead that Super Rise knows at the inception of the contract that it will be given unlimited access to the elevators and related equipment each day, with the right to schedule repair sessions any time. When given these terms and conditions, Super Rise has never had any delays or accidents in the past. Prepare the journal entry Super Rise would record on January 31 to record one month of revenue.(If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Record any necessary entry on January 31 to record one month of revenue
3. Assume the same facts as requirement 1. In addition assume that, on May 31, Super Rise determines that it does not need to spend more than two hours on any given day to operate the elevator safely because the client’s elevator is relatively new. Therefore, Super Rise believes that unexpected delays are very unlikely. Prepare the journal entry Super Rise would record on May 31 to recognize May revenue and any necessary revision in its estimated bonus receivable. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Record any necessary entry on May 31 to recognize May revenue and any necessary revision in its estimated bonus receivable.

Canoe Company's manufacturing accounting system uses direct labor costs to apply overhead to goods in process and finished goods inventories. Canoe Company's manufacturing costs for the year were: direct labor, $30,000; direct materials, $50,000; and factory overhead applied, $6,000. The plant-wide overhead application rate was:
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor, $30,000
Factory overhead applied $6,000.
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
6,000= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*30,000
6,000 / 30,000 = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
As a CEO, you are concerned that your firm and the industry in your country are being devastated by foreign imports. Trade lawyers suggest that you file an antidumping case against leading foreign rivals and assure you a win. Would you file an antidumping case or not
Answer:
The company can file antidumping case against the leading foreign rivals. The probability of winning the case is only high when there is cash deposits near to zero in the country and balance of payment is negative.
Explanation:
There can be a law suit files against the foreign rivals but the company will have to bear lawyers fee for this. There is a threat to employment of labor in the home country as most of the goods are imported so factories in the home country will be moved towards shut down because consumers will be buying imported goods which are offered at low price.

Consider two perfectly negatively correlated risky securities, A and B. Security A has an expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation of return of 17%. B has an expected rate of return of 9% and a standard deviation of return of 14%.
Required:
a. What are the weights of A and B in the global minimum variance portfolio respectively?
b. What is the rate of return on the risk-free portfolio that can be formed with the two securities ?
Answer:
A) Weight of Security A = 0.45
Weight of Security B = 0.55
B)Risk free rate = 10.35%
Explanation:
We are given;
A) Expected rate of return for Security A; ERR = 12%
Standard deviation of return for Security A; SD = 17%
Expected rate of return for Security B; ERR = 9%
Standard deviation of return for Security B; SD = 14%
Now, formula for weight of Security A is;
Weight of security A = SD of security B ÷ (SD of security B + SD of security A)
Weight of Security A = 14%/(14% + 17%)
Weight of Security A ≈ 0.45
Weight of Security B = 1 - weight of Security A
Weight of Security B = 1 - 0.45
Weight of Security B = 0.55
B) Formula for the risk free rate is;
Risk free rate = (weight of Security A × ERR of security A) + (weight of Security B × ERR of security B)
Risk free rate = (0.45 × 12%) + (0.55 × 9%)
Risk free rate = 10.35%
Last year Rennie Industries had sales of $270,000, assets of $175,000 (which equals total invested capital), a profit margin of 5.3%, and an equity multiplier of 1.2. The CFO believes that the company could reduce its assets by $51,000 without affecting either sales or costs. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Had it reduced its assets by this amount, and had the debt/total invested capital ratio, sales, and costs remained constant, how much would the ROE have changed? Do not round your intermediate calculations. a. 3.03% b. 3.07% c. 4.04% d. 4.52% e. 4.08%
Answer:
c. 4.04%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much would the ROE have changed
First step is to Calculate last year Last year profit
Last year profit = $270,000 × 5.3%
Last year profit = $14,310.00
Second step is to calculate Last year equity
$175,000/Last year equity = 1.2
Last year equity = $175,000/1.2
Last year equity= $145,833.33
Third step is to calculate Last year ROE
Last year ROE = $14,310.00/$145,833.33
Last year ROE= 0.0981*100
Last year ROE= 9.81%
Fourth step is to Calculate New asset value
New asset value = $175,000 - $51,000
New asset value = $124,000
Fifth step is to calculate Equity after asset reduction
Equity after asset reduction = $124,000/1.2
Equity after asset reduction = $103,333.33
Sixth step is to calculate ROE after asset reduction
ROE after asset reduction = $14,310.00/$103,333.33
ROE after asset reduction =0.1385*100
ROE after asset reduction =13.85%
Now let calculate amount of change in ROE
Using this formula
Change in ROE = ROE after asset reduction - Last year ROE
Let plug in the formula
Change in ROE = 13.85% - 9.81%
Change in ROE = 4.04%
Therefore how much would the ROE have changed is 4.04%
The campaign manager for a doomed candidate is considering which states to visit during the last frenzied campaign week leading up to the nationwide election. Pennsylvania (P), Wisconsin (W), Florida (F), New York (Y), and North Carolina (C) are all aching for one last visit, but the candidate has only 80 hours and $250 million left in her campaign fund. A visit to Pennsylvania takes 10 hours and costs $15 million but earns 1% of the electorate. A visit to Wisconsin takes 15 hours and costs $20 million and earns 1.5%; a visit to Florida is only $8 million but takes 16 hours and earns 2%, and a visit to New York costs $25 million, requires 2 hours and earns 2% of the electorate. North Carolina requires 18 hours and $22 million per trip but earns 3% of the electorate. What is the objective function if the campaign manager wants to earn the highest electorate
Answer: maximize P + 1.5W + 2F + 2Y + 3C
Explanation:
The objective function refers to an equation that is used in describing the target of production output which maximizes profits.
The objective function is used to determine the profitability of a business as profits are maximized while losses are minimized.
The objective function if the campaign manager wants to earn the highest electorate will be to maximize P + 1.5W + 2F + 2Y + 3C

Approximately what is the expected dollar rate of return on euro deposits if today's exchange rate is $1.18 per euro, next year's expected exchange rate is $1.10 per euro, and the euro interest rate is 5%?
Answer:
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%
Explanation:
The expected dollar rate would be the dollar equivalent of the future value of the Euro deposit converted at the exchange rate applicable in a years time .
The following steps would suffice
Step 1: Future value of 1 Euro
Future value of 1 Euro at 5% p.a = 1.05 Euro
Step 2: Dollar equivalent of the Euro future value
The Dollar equivalent of 1.05 Euro = 1.05× 1.10=1.155
Step 3: The Dollar rate of return
Dollar rate of return = Future value of deposit($)/initial deposit - 1
= (1.155/1) - 1 × 100
= 15.5%
Dollar rate of return = 15.5%

Von Bora Corporation is expected pay a dividend of $1.40 per share at the end of this year and a $1.50 per share at the end of the second year. You expect Von Bora's stock price to be $25.00 at the end of two years. Von Bora's equity cost of capital is 10%. The price you would be willing to pay today for a share of Von Bora stock, if you plan to hold the stock for two years is closest to:
Answer:
Price of share today = $23.17
Explanation:
The value of a stock using the dividend valuation model, is the present value of the expected cash inflows discounted at the required rate of return. The required rate of return is the cost of equity.
The cost of equity is 10% in this scenario
The price of the share will be determined as follows:
$
Present value of Dividend in yr 1 = 1.40× 1.1^(-1)= 1.27
Present value of Dividend in yr 2 = 1.50 × 1.1^(-2)=1.24
Present value of share in yr 2 = 25× 1.1^(-2) = 20.66
Present value of total cash inflow 23.17
Price of share today = $23.17
Stocks are considered as a financial instruments that represents a firm's ownership stake. Stocks are tool for investors to grow their money and surpass inflation over time.
The computation of the capital gain for the first year is shown below;
Current value = Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%, time period)
= $1.4 ÷ 1.1 + $1.5 ÷ 1.1^2 + $25 ÷ 1.1^2
= $23.15
Hence, the capital gain for the first year is $23.15

The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company's normal activity level of 51,000 units per month is as follows:
Direct materials $48.10
Direct labor $9.20
Variable manufacturing overhead $2.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead $19.50
Variable selling & administrative expense $4.00
Fixed selling & administrative expense $19.00
The normal selling price of the product is $108.10 per unit.
An order has been received from an overseas customer for 3,100 units to be delivered this month at a special discounted price. This order would not change the total amount of the company's fixed costs. The variable selling and administrative expense would be $2.30 less per unit on this order than on normal sales.
Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.
Suppose there is not enough idle capacity to produce all of the units for the overseas customer and accepting the special order would require cutting back on production of 1,250 units for regular customers.

The Buck Store is considering a project that will require additional inventory of $216,000 and will increase accounts payable by $181,000. Accounts receivable are currently $525,000 and are expected to increase by 9 percent if this project is accepted. What is the project's initial cash flow for net working capital
Answer:
$607,250 outflow
Explanation:
Net Working Capital is the amount of money needed to maintain operations on a day to day basis.
Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
where,
Current Assets are calculated as :
Inventory $216,000
Accounts Receivable ($525,000 x 1.09) $575,250
Total $788,250

Current Liabilities = $181,000
therefore,
Net Working Capital = $788,250 - $181,000 = $607,250
Conclusion
The project's initial cash flow for net working capital is $607,250 outflow.

The Finishing Department had 6,800 incomplete units in its beginning Work-in-Process Inventory which were 100% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. 18,600 units were received from the previous department. The ending Work-in-Process Inventory consisted of 3,800 units which were 50% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. The Finishing Department uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing. How many units were started and completed during the period
Answer:
14,800 units
Explanation:
To understand units started and completed principle, ask yourself, "Out of the units Started during the year, how many units were Completed?"
Since we are using FIFO the units in Inventory will be worked on first followed by the units introduced in process during the year.
So this can be calculated out of units completed as follows :
Units started and completed = Units Started - Units in Ending Work in Process
therefore,
Units started and completed = 18,600 - 3,800 = 14,800 units
Conclusion :
Units started and completed during the period were 14,800 units.
