Answer:

Return on investment

X * 0.06 + (1-X)*0.1 = 0.075

where:

1>X >0.30

X is the percentage invest on bond fund

It needs to invest 62.5% in the bond fund

and 37.5% in the stock und to achieve 7.5% return

Explanation:

We have a certain amount divided into two option.

being X the bond fund the rmainder (1 - X) will be invested in the stock fund

We want at least an X of 30%

and achieve 7.5% return

0.06X + 0.1 - 0.1X = 0.075

0.1-0.075 = 0.04X

X = 0.025/0.04 = .625 = 62.5%

Answer:

$313,500

Explanation:

Applying the book value method,

Common stock:

= ($2,302,500 face value bonds ÷ $1000) × 40 shares × $20 par value

= 2,302.5 × 40 shares × $20 par value

= $1,842,000

Unamortized discount:

=  ($2,302,500 face value bonds ÷ $15,350,000) × $980,000

= 0.15 × $980,000

= $147,000

Amount should Sunland credit to the account "paid-in capital in excess of par," as a result of this conversion:

= $2,302,500 face value bonds  - Common stock - Unamortized discount

= $2,302,500 - $1,842,000 - $147,000

= $313,500

Answer:

Depreciation under half-year convention is= 309.25

Explanation:

(Important Note: The information provided in the question are incomplete. In order to calculate depreciation expense using the half year convention we must have useful life of the new office desk and residual value, if any! Therefore we base the solution of this question by using some assumptions.)

Assuming that the useful life of the new office desk is 4 years and has no salvage value, the depreciation would be as follows:

Depreciation expense = $2474÷ 4

Depreciation expense = $618.5

But this is yearly expense and under the half-year convention it's assumed that the new office desk is being used for one-half or it's first year therefore the half year depreciation expense will be calculated and the remaining half of depreciation will be expensed out in the final year of depreciation.

So depreciation under half-year convention is= 618.5× 6÷ 12

depreciation under half-year convention is= 309.25

Answer:

The E-commerce business model

Explanation:

The E-commerce internet business model is the appropriate business model to follow for a company that is into hair salon.

Why?

Considering the type and nature of the business, the hair salon will probably be in the sales of fashion hair and making of hair. To achieve maximum sales and to be able to reach maximum potential client, an e-commerce website should be developed for the hair salon.

Function

This will allow the salon be able to make sales online, improve and have the ability to adopt different marketing strategy for the benefit of reaching a wider audience. Since the website is a technology that is internet based, customer feed back and customer support can be easily integrated and achieved on the website.

Other way the company can use the website and the internet is the ability to allow client book available time to walk into the salon to make their hair without waiting for so long. Additionally, the internet can be used for research purposes to acquire knowledge for the development of the company.

Answer:

B. Euro appreciated against the dollar

Explanation:

Depreciated means a decrease in value. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Since the exchange rate of Euro increases, the dollar cannot be appreciated at the same time. So, C cannot be the answer. If "C" is incorrect, both "B" and "C"; it means "D" is incorrect.

Hence, option "B" is correct because the foreign exchange rate of Euro increases relative to the exchange rate of the dollar in 2002. If there is an increase of a currency relative to others, the increased currency is said to be appreciated.

Answer:

Break even sales will be $2700

So option (b) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given fixed cost = $1400

Sells per unit = $27 each

And variable cost per unit = $13 each

So contribution margin ratio [tex]=\frac{sales\ per\ unit-variable\ cost\ perunit}{sales\ per\ unit}=\frac{27-13}{27}=0.5185[/tex]

We know that break even sales is given by

Break even sales [tex]=\frac{fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ ratio}=\frac{1400}{0.5185}=$2700[/tex]

So option (b) will be correct answer

The APR or legal interest rate quoted must be computed based on the present value of monthly payments, and it may differ from the advertised rate. The EAR, reflecting the actual cost of borrowing, accounts for the compounding of interest at this monthly rate over a year.

The question is asking whether the interest rate on a loan truly reflects the advertised rate when repayments are structured differently.

In this scenario, the finance company offers a one-year loan at 17.1% but requires monthly repayments that don't align directly with simple interest computations.

This involves calculating the actual annual percentage rate (APR) and the effective annual rate (EAR).

To calculate the APR, which is the legal rate that must be quoted, considering the monthly payments, we would have to solve for the interest rate that equates the present value of the loan (the amount borrowed) to the present value of the monthly payments.

However, since the actual numbers aren't provided, a generic formula would be:

Use the equation PV of loan = PV of annuity (monthly payments)

Apply the formula for the present value of an annuity:

Calculate the interest rate (i) that satisfies this equation.

To find the EAR, which measures the actual interest rate after considering compounding, we would:

Take the monthly rate calculated from the APR.

Convert it to an annual rate considering monthly compounding using the formula (1 + i)12 - 1, where i is the monthly rate.

The APR generally differs from the advertised rate when repayments are not in sync with the interest accrual period, leading to an EAR that reflects the true cost of borrowing.

Answer:$295,000

Explanation:

6 years ago, the purchase price of the warehouse was $335,000 and the current warehouse market worth is $295,000 and the book value is $268,000. If the company decides to assign this warehouse to a new project, it should include its current market worth as the initial cash flow for the building because if the company does not use the warehouse for project purposes, the company receives a cash flow of $295,000, market worth as cash flow.

The firm must place a market worth of $295,000 as the initial cash flow for the project.

Answer and Explanation:

The factors that are influenced in Shawna's usual range of familiarity as indicated by Albrecht's factors are the lucidity of expected set of responsibilities and assessment criteria, work status and human contact. She's getting analysis that perhaps she was not set up for, which makes the assessment criteria of her business to be flimsy and difficult for her to satisfy inevitably. The status of her activity is too influenced by the analysis and the requests, and the human contact quality that she's having a direct result of her activity is a long way from the ideal in light of her absence of security.  

This is a shallow perception as indicated by the verifiable depiction of the issues that Shawna is having, however it's the most precise sentiment as per the factors.

Organisational skills are developed with experience and continuous learning. Likewise, students with learning disabilities are not very good at organisational skills, because developing organisational skills require learning. Students with learning disabilities can generate organisational skills, but to have good organisational skills is nearly unmanageable for disable students. This is why learning disable students don't get managerial roles in firms and organisations.

False. Students with learning disabilities typically do not have good organizational skills.

False. Students with learning disabilities typically do not have good organizational skills. Learning disabilities are neurological disorders that affect a person's ability to receive, process, or communicate information effectively. These disabilities can impact various areas of learning, such as reading, writing, math, and organization. For example, students with dysgraphia may struggle with organizing their thoughts and writing legibly, while students with dyslexia may have difficulty with reading and spelling.

Answer: reciprocity

Explanation: In simple words, reciprocity refers to the agreement in which two parties exchange goods or services in such a way that both of them will gain benefit from such agreement.

In business it can achieved in many ways, for example by combining the efforts and resources or by providing each other some service in exchange for service from the other side.

In the given case, Jason made a deal with dodge to provide service to him in exchange for service by him. Hence we can conclude that the given case depicts reciprocity.

An effective organization structure attribute is the balance between hierarchical levels and span of control, with flat structures offering more autonomy and taller structures providing closer supervision.

An attribute of an effective organization structure that contributes to a company's effectiveness and innovativeness is the appropriate balance between hierarchical levels and span of control. Flat structures have a wider span of control, allowing managers to supervise more employees directly, which can lead to increased employee autonomy and satisfaction. On the other hand, tall structures have more levels and a narrower span of control, potentially providing more opportunities for close supervision and a greater sense of job security for the employees. Both structures have their benefits and challenges, and the effectiveness of each depends on the company's specific context and goals.

Final answer:

Terrell & Associates records the acceptance of a note receivable on March 1 by debiting Notes Receivable and crediting Legal Services Revenue. Upon collection on September 1, they debit Cash and credit Notes Receivable along with Interest Revenue for the principal amount and accrued interest.

Explanation:

On March 1st, Terrell & Associates accepts a note receivable in exchange for legal services provided to Whole Grain Bakery. The journal entry to record the acceptance of the note receivable would be a debit to Notes Receivable for the amount of the legal services provided, $10,700, and a credit to Legal Services Revenue for the same amount:

On September 1st, when the note is due, Whole Grain Bakery pays the face value plus interest. Over six months, the 10% annual interest rate accrues $535 on the principal ($10,700 * 10% * 6/12). The journal entry to record the cash collection would include a debit to Cash for the total amount received ($11,235), a credit to Notes Receivable for the principal amount ($10,700), and a credit to Interest Revenue for the interest earned ($535):

Answer:

Fixed overhead spending variance                          $

Budgeted fixed overhead cost (12,000 hrs x $2)  24,000

Less: Actual fixed overhead cost                            26,000

Fixed overhead spending variance                         2,000(A)

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the standard fixed overhead application rate, which is the ratio of Budgeted fixed overhead cost to budgeted direct labour hours (normal capacity). Fixed overhead spending variance is the difference between budgeted fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost. Budgeted fixed overhead cost is budgeted hours multiplied by standard fixed overhead application rate.

The fixed overhead spending variance for Griffen Corporation is $56,000.

To calculate the fixed overhead spending variance for Griffen Corporation, we need to compare the actual fixed overhead costs incurred with the budgeted (standard) fixed overhead costs.

Fixed Overhead Spending Variance = Actual Fixed Overhead Costs - Budgeted (Standard) Fixed Overhead Costs

Actual Fixed Overhead Costs = $80,000 (given)

Budgeted (Standard) Fixed Overhead Costs = $24,000 (given in the standard cost data)

Now, let's calculate the fixed overhead spending variance:

Fixed Overhead Spending Variance = Actual Fixed Overhead Costs - Budgeted (Standard) Fixed Overhead Costs

Fixed Overhead Spending Variance = $80,000 - $24,000

Final answer:

When sellers enter a competitive market, the supply increases, causing the equilibrium price to decrease and the equilibrium quantity to increase. The new equilibrium point is indicated on the graph as point 'A'.

Explanation:

When sellers exit a competitive market, the supply curve shifts to the left, indicating a decrease in supply. This leads to a higher equilibrium price and a lower equilibrium quantity, as the point of intersection between supply and demand curves moves upwards along the demand curve. Conversely, when new sellers enter the market, the supply curve shifts to the right, indicating an increase in supply. This results in a lower equilibrium price and a higher equilibrium quantity, and the new intersection point on the graph is labeled as 'A'.

Following this analysis, when some sellers enter a competitive market, the equilibrium price decreases, and the equilibrium quantity increases. This is because the additional sellers cause more of the good to be available at each price, which, in turn, puts downward pressure on the price to the new equilibrium point.

Remember: The point where the supply curve (S) and the demand curve (D) cross is called the equilibrium, and the equilibrium price is the only price where the amount consumers are willing to buy is equal to the amount sellers are willing to sell, known as the equilibrium quantity.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": The more inventory the higher the in-stock probability.

Explanation:

If a company inventory increases it implies it has bought more than what it has sold. When inventory increases the company can meet more demand, increasing the likelihood of satisfying all customers. Though, if the demand does not increase, the excess in supply could be reflected as negative in the balance sheet.

The client's goal to enter the fresh prepared meal market must address profitability, market saturation, consumer safety, and shelf life. Packaging and processing play a pivotal role in extending shelf life while maintaining food quality. The competitive landscape and consumer expectations present significant challenges to new market entrants.

The client, a leading food company, seeks advice on entering the fresh prepared meal market, given the consumer trend towards fresher food without artificial preservatives or coloring. They are testing nitrogen gas-flushed, sealed meals with a shelf life of 14 days and a $5.50 to $8.50 price range.

The business analysis must consider the profitability and competitiveness of this endeavor in an industry leaning towards upscale products. It is critical to ensure safety and shelf life via proper packaging and storage, balancing between preserving food quality and maintaining its marketability. Overcoming extensive market saturation is a considerable challenge that requires prioritizing customer satisfaction and product safety to ensure a viable business venture in the food industry.

The prepared food must remain safe, with concerns generally stemming from microbial contamination and the necessity for vigilant processing and packaging, such as using barrier films or active components to extend the product's shelf life. Consumer expectations dictate ready food availability, with increasing concerns over the health and sustainability implications of current food supply practices.

The success of a new product involves long-term development and overcoming regulatory and market hurdles, especially in the saturated food industry landscape characterized by established chains and vending machines.

Answer:

Book value= $33,008

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

On January 1, 2016:

Purchase cost= $50,710.

Residual value= $4,700

Wasson uses the units-of-production depreciation method.

The vehicle will be driven 107,000 miles.

2016= 10,700 miles

2017= 18,700

First, we need to calculate the depreciation of 2016 and 2017, using the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of miles]*miles

2016= [(50,710 - 4,700)/107,000]*10,700= $4,601

207= 0.43*18,700= $8,401

Book value= depreciable value - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 46,010 - (4,601 + 8,401)= $33,008

R-square measures whether the variation exists or how much dependence the independent variables on the dependent variables.

R2 = .45 which is quite low. This shows that there is not much variation. In order to increase the R2 the researcher can add more independent variables.

The below part is taken from the internet as the question was incomplete:

Sunny days = 0.5

Intercept = 2.1

The slope shows a positive relationship (direct relationship) with the dependent variable which is crime dependency.

Sunny days is the independent variable.

Intercept is also positive whereas there is significance in the p value which helps in concluding that we will reject the null hypothesis.

Explanation:

EOQ is a function of square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by holding cost per item per annum.

Total minimum inventory cost is the aggregate of total ordering cost and total holding cost.

Re-order point is the product of maximum usage per day and        maximum lead time.

Maximum usage per day is annual demand divided by the number of working days in a year.                                                                                  

The optimal order quantity is approximately 7106 gallons. The total minimum inventory cost is $180,326.87. The reorder point is 226 gallons.

To determine the optimal order quantity, total minimum inventory cost, and the reorder point for Chemco Company, we can use the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model. The formula for EOQ is:

EOQ = sqrt((2 * D * S) / H)

Where D is the annual demand, S is the ordering cost, and H is the holding cost. Substituting the values given in the question:

EOQ = sqrt((2 * 7000 * 3600) / (50))

EOQ = sqrt(50400000)

EOQ = 7105.85 gallons (rounded to the nearest gallon)

The total minimum inventory cost can be calculated as:

Total Cost = ((D * S) / EOQ) + (H * (EOQ / 2))

Substituting the values:

Total Cost = ((7000 * 3600) / 7105) + (50 * (7105 / 2))

Total Cost = 2514.37 + 177,812.5

Total Cost = $180,326.87

The reorder point can be calculated as the lead time demand:

Reorder Point = (D * Lead Time) / Working Days

Substituting the values:

Reorder Point = (7000 * 10) / 310

Reorder Point = 225.81 (rounded up to the nearest gallon)

Answer:

Explanation:

The payback period measures the length of time it takes a project cash inflow s to recoup its cash outflows.

Though it does not incorporate time value of money but it is a sure measure of a project's liquidity- it gives an idea of how soon it will take a project to recover its initial cost. In addition, it is very easy to calculate.

However, it suffers a number of setbacks. For example, it treats cash flows occurring at different periods in the project life as been the same- it ignores the time value of money concept.

Furthermore, it also excludes cash inflows coming up after the payback date in its computation.  The date at which the accumulated cash inflows equals the initial cost is also known as point of cost recovery

The payback period is a method of investment appraisal which focuses on liquidity and not profitability. Yes, it is concerned about a project breaking even but investors are concerned about profitable.

In contrast, the net present value corrects some of the major pitfalls of the payback period method. For example, It uses the concept of time value of money as it involves calculating the present values of cash flows.

Also, all cash flows are included in the calculation of net present value.

Note that the question negates some of these points.

For example if a project costs $60,000 with a seires of annual cash inflows as follows Year 1- $20,000, year 2- $20,000, year 3 -$20,000 and year 4- $10.

The payback period is 3 year in this example of mine. The $10 of year 4 is excluded in the computation of the payback perod and does give an idea of whether the project is profibale

The payback method is defined as the time required to recoup the funds invested to reach the break-even point. The payback period is the initial investment done per year cash flow.

The given statement is False.

The payback method or period is the time taken to project the inflow of cash to recoup the outflow of cash.

The payback method can be calculated by the formula:

[tex]\text{Payback} &= \dfrac{\text{Initial Investment}} {\text{Cash flow per year}}[/tex]

In the payback period, after the payback point has been reached, the cash flows are ignored.

A payback period is an approach to capital budgeting, such that it understands the cash flow as an investment. The payback ignores the overall profitability of the investment, unlike the net present value.

Therefore, the given statement is False.

Answer:

The answer is $7.6

Explanation:

We have to build up the regression equation to predict the total cost at a given production level to find out the estimated amount of variable cost per unit.

Denote the equation as: y = ax + b;  where: a is the variable cost per unit; x is the units produced; b is fixed cost; y is total production cost at x units produced.

Apply the formula in Least Squares Regression, we have:

a = (n*Σ(x*y)  - Σx * Σy) / [n*Σ(X^2) - (ΣX)^2], in which n = 6 observations: x0 denote production volume and y denote total cost at an x0 production volume. Thus, we have the below calcualtion:

Σ(x*y) = 400 * 4000 + 450 * 5000 +... + 750 *7000 = 20,090,000;

Σx = 400 + 450 + ...+ 750 = 3,450; (Σx)^2 = 11,902,500

Σy = 4,000 + 5,000 +...+7,000 = 33,700

Σx^2 = 400^2 + 450^2 + ... + 750^2 = 2,077,500

=> a = (6*20,090,000 - 3,450*33,700) / ( 6*2,077,500 - 11,902,500) = 7.6

So, variable cost per unit produced is $7.6.

Answer:

The  potential benefits lost by taking a specific action when two or more alternative choices are available is known as opportunity cost.                                    

The correct answer is E                                      

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the potential lost as a result of selecting an alternative                 where alternative courses of action are involved. It is a relevant cost for                      decision-making.        

Answer:

e.  Opportunity cost

Explanation:

This is the perfect definition of opportunity cost.

Businesses mostly find themselves stuck in choosing between two different alternatives, especially when each alternative has a cost consequence. For example, as an employee I am faced with two alternatives, first, I can go on a one week holiday with my friends and chill (which would cost me $1500) but if I do so I would be loosing $200 (as my salary) daily for one week, the total of which would be $1400. If I choose to go with my friends on the holiday anyhow, the total cost of my holiday would not just be $1500 but the opportunity cost of $1400 would also be a part of my holiday cost because it's relevant and is being influenced by my decision.

So I would basically be loosing the potential benefits (salary in this case) if I choose to go on the holiday with my friends.

Alternative cost is the cost comparison of two alternatives aimed at choosing the most economically feasible option.

Sunk cost is cost that is already incurred and/or is committed to be incurred at a later date which can't be influenced by our decision.

Differential cost is the difference between the cost of two options.
