They evaluate three different vending machine companies and rate their performance on each criterion on a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). Which company should Great Pumpkin choose
Question Completion:
Dimension Importance Spike Olaf Andy
Cost 4 1 5 3
Reliability 2 5 2 3
Cost 3 3 3 4
Answer:
Great Pumpkin Inc.
Great Pumpkin should choose Olaf Manufacturing with the highest weighted score of 33.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Dimension Importance Spike Olaf Andy
Cost 4 4 (1*4) 20 (5*4) 12 (3*4)
Reliability 2 10 (5*2) 4 (2*2) 6 (3*2)
Cost 3 9 (3*3) 9 (3*3) 12 (4*3)
Total weighted scores 23 33 30
b) Based on the total weighted scores, Olaf Manufacturing performed best among the three companies. It should be chosen. To obtain the weighted scores for each company, the scale it obtains under each dimension is multiplied by the importance of the dimension. This is done for each dimension and each company before the total weighted scores are obtained and the company with the highest score is adjudged the winner.
"Consider a C corporation. The corporation earns $2.5 per share before taxes. After the corporation has paid its corresponding taxes, it will distribute 50% of its earnings to its shareholders as a dividend. The corporate tax rate is 30%, the tax rate on dividend income is 20%, and the personal income tax rate is set at 28%. What are the shareholders earnings from the corporation after all corresponding taxes are paid
Answer:
$0.70 per stock
Explanation:
before tax corporate income = $2.50 per stock
after tax corporate income = $2.50 x (1 - 30%) = $1.75 per stock
distributed dividends = $1.75 x 50% = $0.875 per stock
since the tax rate on dividends is 20%, then the after tax gain earned by stockholders is $0.875 x (1 - 20%) = $0.70 per stock
Some dividends are taxed as long term capital gains (like these), which decreases the tax rate paid by stockholders. If they were taxed at the normal income rate, the tax rate would have been 8% higher.

If the future value of an ordinary, 7-year annuity is $10.000 and interest rates are 4 percent, what is the future value of the same annuity due?
Answer:
The future value of the same annuity due is $10,400.
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculation of the annuity payment
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = P * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value of the amount after 7 years = $10.000
P = Annuity payment = ?
r = interest rate = 4%, or 0.04
n = number of years = 7
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
10,000 = P * (((1 + 0.04)^7 - 1) / 0.04)
10,000 = P * 7.89829448089601
P = 10,000 / 7.89829448089601
P = $1,266.09612039504
Step 2: Calculation of the future value of the same annuity due
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Due as follows:
FV = P * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) * (1 + r) ................................. (2)
Where,
FV = Future value the same annuity due = ?
P = Annuity payment as obtained in Step 1 above = $1,266.09612039504
r = interest rate = 4%, or 0.04
n = number of years = 7
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
FV = $1,266.09612039504 * (((1 + 0.04)^7 - 1) / 0.04) * (1 + 0.04)
FV = $1,266.09612039504 * 7.89829448089601 * 1.04
FV = $10,400
Therefore, the future value of the same annuity due is $10,400.
A company reported average total assets of $1,240,000 in Year 1 and $1,510,000 in Year 2. Its net operating cash flow was $102,920 in Year 1 and $138,920 in Year 2. (1) Calculate its cash flow on total assets ratio for both years. (2) Did its cash flow on total assets improve in Year 2 versus Year 1
Answer:
A. Year 1 8.3%
Year 2 9.2%
B. Yes
Explanation:
(1) Calculation for its cash flow on total assets ratio for both years
Using this formula
Cash flow on total assets ratio =Net operating cash flow/Average total assets
Let plug in the formula
Year 1 Cash flow on total assets ratio=$102,920/$1,240,000
Year 1 Cash flow on total assets ratio=8.3%
Year 2 Cash flow on total assets ratio= 138,920/1,510,000
Year 2 Cash flow on total assets ratio= 9.2%
(2) Based on the above calculation YES it's cash flow on total assets improve in Year 2 versus Year 1

Explanation:
aron Company has a process costing system. All materials are introduced when conversion costs reach 50 percent. The following information is available for physical units during March
Work in process, March 1 (60% complete as to conversion costs) 150,000Units started in March 600,000Units transferred to Finishing Department in March 630,000Work in process, March 31 (40% complete as to conversion costs) 120,000Compute the equivalent units for materials costs and for conversion costs using FIFO method
Answer:
Equivalent units of production for materials
Opening work in process was complete with respect to materials so not EUP there.
Closing work in process was complete as well.
EUP for materials is:
= Units transferred to Finishing Department - opening WIP
= 630,000 - 150,000
= 480,000 units
Equivalent units of production for conversion
= EUP opening work in process + units transferred to finishing department + EUP closing work in process
= (40% * 150,000) + 480,000 + (40% * 120,000)
= 60,000 + 480,000 + 48,000
= 588,000 units
EUP opening work in process already had 60% of conversion cost incurred in previous period so only 40% will be incurred in present period.
