Answer: Federal Fund Rate = 0.15%
Discount rate = 1.15%
Explanation:
The Federal Fund Rate is the rate at which banks can borrow money from other Banks and is listed as 0.15%. This rate is usually lower than the discount rate as is usually suggested by the Federal Open Market Committee.
The Discount rate is the rate at which Banks can borrow from the Fed which is stated to be 1.15%. This rate is set by the Fed and can be used to control interest rates by either reducing or increasing the cost of borrowing for Banks which banks then reciprocate.
The Really Reliable Company produces roller bearings used in a high-wear application in diesel locomotives. The exponentially distributed mean time to failure for these roller bearings has been determined to be 10,000 hours of operation. Really Reliable wants to determine an appropriate warranty period (in hours) such that it will have to provide warranty service for no more than 0.04% of the roller bearings it produces.
Answer:
Appropriate warranty period = 4 hours
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
Here, mean = 10,000 = 1/λ
Let appropriate warranty period = t
Hence, 0.0004 = 1-e^-λt
0.0004 = 1-e^(t/10,000)
e^(t/10,000) = 0.9996
Taking ln on both the sides and then solving,
t/10,000 = 0.0004
t = 4 hours
Hence, Appropriate warranty period = 4 hours
The student's question involves applying statistical principles to practical problems, such as deciding on warranty periods based on exponential distribution, testing claims with hypothesis testing, and calculating service times with normal distributions.
The student's question pertains to the determination of an appropriate warranty period for roller bearings produced by The Really Reliable Company, given that the mean time to failure is 10,000 hours and they wish to limit warranty services to 0.04% of produced units. This problem involves the use of exponential distribution and probability to find the time at which the cumulative distribution function (CDF) is equal to 99.96%, corresponding to the 0.04% failure rate allowed under warranty.
To address the tire claim study, a hypothesis testing will be employed using the standard deviation and mean from both the past studies and recent survey to decide if the data significantly contradict the claim.
Regarding the preventive maintenance for air conditioners, with an average service time of one hour and a standard deviation of one hour, the probability that the service time will be less than 1.1 hours needs to be calculated using a normal distribution. The result will help determine if 1.1 hours per technician is a sufficient average budgeted time to service each unit.
Dell is a product of the Digby company. Digby's sales forecast for Dell is 1856 units. Digby wants to have an extra 10% of units on hand above and beyond their forecast in case sales are better than expected. (They would risk the possibility of excess inventory carrying charges rather than risk lost profits on a stock out.) Taking current inventory into account, what will Dell's Production After Adjustment have to be in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale
Answer:
Dell's Production After Adjustment will be 2,041 units
Explanation:
According to the given data we have that Dell forecast for sales is 1856 and there considering the 10% reserve first we would need to calculate the number of units after the reserve of 10% as follows:
10% reserve units=0.10×1856=185 units
Therefore, total required units=1,856+185
total required units=2,041 units
Dell's Production After Adjustment will be 2,041 units
Gorberchev Food Processing expects to have 28,000 units of finished goods inventory on hand on March 31 and reports the following expected sales (in units) for the months of April through July: April 128,000 May 138,000 June 155,000 July 128,000 At the end of each month the company desires its ending finished goods inventory to be 25% of the next month's projected sales (in units). The budgeted production (in units) for Gorberchev Food Processing for May should be:
Answer:
Total production= 142,250
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (in units):
May=138,000
June= 155,000
At the end of each month the company desires its ending finished goods inventory to be 25% of the next month's projected sales (in units).
To calculate the units to be produced in May, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Budgeted production:
Sales= 138,000
Desired ending inventory= (155,000*0.25)= 38,750
Beginning inventory= (138,000*0.25)= (34,500)
Total production= 142,250
The Blending Department for ArkYork Paints started October with 500 gallons in process and started in production 9 comma 000 gallons. During the month, 6 comma 500 gallons were completed and transferred to the next department. Ending work-in-process was 3 comma 000 gallons (100% complete with respect to direct materials and 10% complete for conversion costs). The department uses the weighted-average method. The Blending Department incurred the following costs: LOADING...(Click the icon to view the costs.) 7. Prepare a production cost report for the Blending Department for the month of October. (Enter cost per equivalent units to the nearest cent. Abbreviations: EUP = Equivalent Units of Production.)
Answer:
Production cost report for the Blending Department for the month of October
Inputs
Units
Opening Work In Process 500
Started 9,000
Total 9,500
Outputs
Units
Completed and Transferred 6,500
Closing Work In Process 3,000
Total 9,500
Explanation:
The concept of equivalent units measures the number of units completed in terms of completion stage of the the inputs.
Final answer:
A production cost report using the weighted-average method includes calculating equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs and computing the cost per equivalent unit. Costs are summed and divided by the equivalent units; the report shows production efficiency and cost management.
Explanation:
The question you've presented revolves around the preparation of a production cost report for the Blending Department at ArkYork Paints using the weighted-average method. Since no specific cost data was provided, a general approach to creating such a report includes calculating the equivalent units of production (EUP) for both direct materials and conversion costs, computing the cost per equivalent unit, and then preparing a summary of costs for units transferred out and ending work in process.
In the scenario described, 500 gallons were in process at the start of the month, and an additional 9,000 gallons were started during the month. By the month's end, 6,500 gallons were completed and the remaining 3,000 gallons were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 10% complete for conversion costs. To determine the EUP, one would add the completed gallons to the equivalent completed portion of the ending work in process.
Costs for direct materials and conversion must be added to those carried over from the prior period (beginning inventory) plus those added during the current period. The total costs are then divided by equivalent units to obtain the cost per equivalent unit. The report would summarize these figures and provide insights into the department's production efficiency and cost management.
Coronado Company borrowed $1,018,620 on March 1 on a 5-year, 12% note to help finance construction of the building. In addition, the company had outstanding all year a 10%, 5-year, $2,005,300 note payable and an 11%, 4-year, $3,444,000 note payable. Compute the weighted-average interest rate used for interest capitalization purposes. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 7.58%.)
Answer:
weighted-average interest rate =10.8%
Explanation:
The weighted average interest rate is the average interest rate of all of the Notes weighted using the nominal value of the notes.
Total nominal value = 1,018,620 + 2,005,300 + $3,444,000 = 6,467,920.
Weighted average interest rate
= (1,018,620× 12%) + (10%×2,005,300)+(11%×3,444,000 )/6,467,920.
= 10.8%
weighted-average interest rate =10.8%
The principle of comparative advantage asserts that a. the world price of a good will prevail in all countries, regardless of whether those countries allow international trade in that good. b. countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best. c. not all countries can benefit from trade with other countries. d. countries can become better off by exporting goods, but they cannot become better off by importing goods.
Answer:
b. countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation."
Also, the principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries can become better off by specializing in what they do best.
This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.20 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent per year, indefinitely. Investors require a return of 10 percent on the stock. a. What is the current price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What will the price be in three years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What will the price be in 10 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Current price is
= D1 ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)
= ($1.20 × 1.04 ÷ (0.1 - 0.04)
= $20.8
b. Now the price in three year is
P3 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^3
= $20.8 × (1.04)^3
= $23.40
c. For price in 10 year it is
P10 = Current price × (1 + Growth Rate)^10
= $20.80 × (1.04)^10
= $30.79
We simply applied the above formula
Final answer:
Explanation of current stock price using dividend discount model, calculations for price in three and ten years.
Explanation:
The current price of the stock can be calculated using the dividend discount model. The formula to find the current price of a stock using DDM is P = D / (R - G), where P is the current price, D is the dividend paid per share, R is the required return rate, and G is the dividend growth rate.
a. Current price = $1.20 / (0.10 - 0.04) = $20.00
b. To find the price in three years, you can use the formula P3 = D3 / (R - G), where D3 is the dividend in three years. Calculate D3 first: D3 = $1.20 * (1 + 0.04) ³ = $1.20 * 1.04 ^ 3 = $1.2990 (approx).
Now calculate the price in three years: P3 = $1.2990 / (0.10 - 0.04) = $21.65
c.The price in ten years can be found using the formula P10 = D10 / (R - G), where D10 is the dividend in ten years. Calculate D10 first using the growth rate: D10 = $1.20 * (1 + 0.04) ¹⁰ = $1.20 * 1.04¹⁰ = $2.0498 (approx).
Now find the price in ten years: P10 = $2.0498 / (0.10 - 0.04) = $34.16
First Niles Financial, Inc., is a company whose sole business is to own and operate a bank, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Niles, Ohio. First Niles's directors included bank officers William Stephens, Daniel Csontos, and Lawrence Safarek; James Kramer, president of an air-conditioning company that serviced the bank; and Ralph Zuzolo, whose law firm served the bank and whose title company participated in most of its real estate deals. First Niles's board put the bank up for sale and received three bids. Farmers National Bank Corp. stated that it would not retain the board. Cortland Bancorp indicated that it would terminate the directors but consider them for future service. First Financial Corp. said nothing about the directors. The board did not pursue Farmers' offer, failed to timely respond to Cortland's request, and rejected First Financial's bid. Leonard Gantler and other First Niles shareholders filed a suit in a Delaware state court against Stephens and the others. What duties do directors and officers owe to a corporation and its shareholders
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
The Directors and Officers of a Corporation owe to a Corporation and it's shareholders various duties such as Loyalty, Prudence, Care and Fair Dealing.
They are to act in the interest of the shareholders at all times which means their own personal interest should be put behind that of the shareholders as they work to maximise shareholder wealth.
If it is proven that the Directors and Officers of First Niles analysed the bids on the bank based on their personal interests namely, the keeping of their position as board members, and therefore rejected these bids based on the unwillingness of the bidding companies to keep them as Board members, then that constitutes a Breach of the duties expected of them.
Directors and officers owe fiduciary duties to a corporation and its shareholders, including the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. These duties require them to act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders and to avoid conflicts of interest. Failure to fulfill these duties may result in legal consequences.
Explanation:Directors and officers owe fiduciary duties to a corporation and its shareholders. These duties include the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires directors and officers to act with the level of care that a reasonably prudent person would use in similar circumstances. The duty of loyalty requires directors and officers to act in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders, and to avoid conflicts of interest.
For example, in the case of First Niles Financial, Inc., the directors had a duty to consider the best interests of the company and its shareholders when deciding whether to pursue the bids for the bank. Failing to properly respond to the bids and rejecting offers without considering the potential benefits to the shareholders could be seen as a breach of their duties.
Shareholders who believe that directors and officers have breached their fiduciary duties can file a lawsuit against them. In the case of First Niles, Leonard Gantler and other shareholders filed a suit against the directors. If a court determines that the directors breached their duties, they may be held personally liable for any damages caused to the company and its shareholders.
For purposes of allocating joint costs to joint products, the estimated net realizable value at split-off is equal to A. final sales price reduced by cost to complete after split-off. B. sales price less a normal profit margin at the point of sale C. separable product cost plus a normal profit margin. D. total sales value less joint costs at point of split-off.
Answer:
A. Final sales price reduced by cost to complete after split-off.
Explanation:
Net realizable value (NRV) is explained here to be the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with the eventual sale or disposal of the asset. It is a common method used to evaluate an asset's value for inventory accounting. NRV is a valuation method used in both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Many business transactions allow for judgment or discretion when choosing an accounting method.
A conservative approach means that the accountant should use the accounting method that generates less profit and does not overstate the value of assets.
Use the following scenario to answer the following questions: Babak owns a sports practice facility called Boston Batting Cages in Boston, Massachusetts. During the first year of operation, Boston Batting Cages incurred many costs. In that year, Babak spent $5,000 on labor, $2,000 on maintenance, and $1,000 on electricity. Babak took out a loan to open his business, in which he would have earned $1,500, and his previous job, which he could get back at any time, paid him $50,000. If Boston Batting Cages received $80,000 in revenues, what were the economics profits
Answer:
$20,500
Explanation:
Economic profit is the difference between the total revenue generated and the total explicit (direct) and implicit (Indirect cost ) incurred
Total revenue - (explicit cost + implicit cost )
Revenue 80,000
Explicit cost
Labor 5000
maintenance 2000
Electricity 1000
Total (8000)
Implicit cost
loan revenue forgone 1500
Previous earning 50000
Total (51,500)
Economic profit 20,500
Final answer:
The economic profits for Boston Batting Cages are calculated by subtracting both explicit and implicit costs from the revenues. The business earned an economic profit of $20,500 after accounting for all costs.
Explanation:
To calculate the economic profits for Babak's business, Boston Batting Cages, we need to consider both explicit and implicit costs against the revenues. Explicit costs are the direct, out-of-pocket expenses for the business operation, whereas implicit costs represent the opportunity costs of using resources that could be employed elsewhere.
Explicit Costs: Labor ($5,000) + Maintenance ($2,000) + Electricity ($1,000) = $8,000Implicit Costs: Foregone salary ($50,000) + Foregone interest on loan ($1,500) = $51,500Total Costs: $8,000 (explicit) + $51,500 (implicit) = $59,500Revenues: $80,000Economic Profit: Revenues - Total Costs = $80,000 - $59,500 = $20,500Economic profits consider both the tangible costs of running the business and the opportunity costs, providing a comprehensive picture of the business's true profitability.
Production records show that there were 440 units in the beginning inventory, 30% complete, 1,440 units started, and 1,600 units transferred out. The beginning work in process had materials cost of $2,220 and conversion costs of $1,720. The units in ending inventory were 40% complete. Materials are entered at the beginning of the painting process.a) How many units are in process at May 31?(b) What is the unit materials cost for May?(c) What is the unit conversion cost for May? (Round unit costs to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.)
Work in Process�Painting
5/1 Balance 3,940 5/31 Transferred out ?
5/31 Materials 6,610
5/31 Labor 4,800
5/31 Overhead 1,300
5/31 Balance ?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The number of units processed is
= Beginning work in process units + completed and started units - transferred out units
= 440 units + 1,440 units - 1,600 units
= 280 units
b. The material cost per unit is
= Total cost ÷ equivalent units
where,
Total cost is
= Opening work in process + material cost
= $2,220 + $6,610
= $8,830
And, the equivalent units is
= Units transferred out + ending work in process
= 1,600 + 280
= 1,880
So, the material cost per unit is
= $8,830 ÷ 1,880 units
= $4.70
c. The conversion cost per unit is
= Total cost ÷ equivalent units
where,
Total cost is
= Opening work in process + labor cost + overhead cost
= $1,720 + $4,800 + $1,300
= $7,820
And, the equivalent units is
= Units transferred out + ending work in process × completion percentage
= 1,600 + 280 × 40%
= 1,712
So, the material cost per unit is
= $7,820 ÷ 1,712 units
= $4.57

Mather Company purchased equipment on January 1, 2018 at a total invoice cost of $336,000; additional costs of $6,000 for freight and $30,000 for installation were incurred. The equipment has an estimated salvage value of $12,000 and an estimated useful life of five years. The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2019 if the straight-line method of depreciation is used is:
$148,800.
$129,600.
$144,000.
$132,000.
Answer:
The accumulated depreciation at 31 December 2019 is $144000
Explanation:
When recording the purchase of a fixed asset, the asset should be recognized at cost at which the asset is purchased plus all the necessary costs that are incurred to bring the asset to the location and in the condition necessary to use as required and intended by the management.
The equipment purchased by Mather should be recorded as,
Cost of equipment = 336000 + 6000 + 30000 = $372000
The freight and installation are non recurring and necessary expenses to bring the asset to the location and in the condition for use as intended by management. So, these expenses are capitalized.
The straight line depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense every year through out the useful life of the asset.
Straight line depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / estimated useful life
Straight line depreciation per year = (372000 - 12000) / 5
Straight line depreciation per year = $72000
So, the accumulated depreciation at 31 December 2019 is,
Accumulated depreciation = 72000 + 72000 = $144000
Hammerstein Corporation offers a variety of share-based compensation plans to employees. Under its restricted stock award plan, the company, on January 1, 2018, granted 2 million of its $1 par common shares to various division managers. The shares are subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within four years. The common shares have a market price of $20.4 per share on the award date. Required: 1. Determine the total compensation cost from these restricted shares. 2. & 3. Prepare the appropriate journal entries. 4. Suppose a 10% forfeiture rate was expected prior to vesting. Determine the total compensation cost, assuming the company follows the fair value approach and chooses to anticipate forfeitures at the grant date.
Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1)
Fair value per share = $20.4
Number of Share = 2 million
Fair value of award = Fair value per share ×Number of Share
= $20.4 × 2 million
= $40.8 million
2) No Entry
3)
Compensation expense($40.8 million÷4 years) $10.2 million
To Paid in capital - restricted stock($20.4-$10.2) $10.2 million
(Being the compensation expense is recorded)
4)
Fair value per share = $20.4
Share granted = 2 million
(100%-10%) forfeiture rate = 90%
fair value of award = $20.4×2×90%
= $36.72 million
Burns offers Realtor a commission of 10 percent of the sales price if Realtor can find a buyer for the Burns Building for $500,000. Realtor spends funds to research and obtain potential-buyer contact information and locates Walters, who is willing to accept the $500,000 offer to sell from Burns. Before any transaction takes place, Burns revokes his offer to Realtor and refuses to sell the property to Walters. Burns's revocation is:
Answer:
Burns’s revocation is not effective
Explanation:
Revocation can be defined as the
the cancellation of either a decree, decision, or even a promise and the making void of some deed which was previously existing.
Therefore according to the information given Burns’s revocation is not effective because Burns’s promise to pay for a particular performance which isa unilateral contract which was said to be rendered irrevocable once Realtor performed by finding a buyer for the building.
Answer:
Burns’s revocation is not effective
Explanation:
Larkspur, Inc. issues $4.2 million, 5-year, 7% bonds at 103, with interest payable on January 1. The straight-line method is used to amortize bond premium. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of these bonds on January 1, 2017. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
Dr. Cash $4,326,000
Cr. Premium on Bond $126,000
Cr. Bond Payable Account $4,200,000
Explanation:
The difference between the face value of the bond and the sale value of the bond is known as premium or the discount on the bond. If the face value is higher from the sale value the bond is issued on the discount and if the sale value of the bond is higher than the face value the bond is issued on the premium.
In this question the bond is issued on premium and the amount of premium is calculated as follow
Premium on the Bond = Sale value - Face value = ($4,200,000 x 103%) - $4,200,000 = $126,000
The Premium will be amortized during the life of the bond to maturity and deducted from the interest expense.
a. Calculate the reserve requirement. b. Assume that Rey withdraws $5,000 in cash from her checking account at Solo Bank. i. By how much will Solo Bank’s reserves change based on Rey’s withdrawal? ii. What is the initial effect of the withdrawal on the M1 measure of money supply? Explain. iii. Calculate the new value of excess reserves on the balance sheet of Solo Bank after the withdrawal based on the reserve requirement from part
Answer and Explanation:
(a) Reserve requirement
10%[ RR of $10,000 is 10% of DD of $100,000]
(b)
i All ER [of $5,000] would disappear and they would have only the RR of $10,000.
iiThe M1 MS would not change and the MS
will includes currency and DD of the public.
The $5,000 Luis withdrew [currency] is still M1.
iii When Luis withdrew $5,000, that simply means that RR was now $9,500.
Hence RR will be decrease by $500 and the remainder of the $5,000 withdrawal was taken from excess leaving only 500 currently in ER.
C.They can borrow from another bank which is either from Fed Funds Rate or from the Fed Discount Rate.
In October, Pine Company reports 22,000 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $198,900 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 22,100 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $9.25 per direct labor hour. In addition, the flexible manufacturing overhead budget shows that budgeted costs are $7.19 variable per direct labor hour and $51,500 fixed. Compute the overhead volume variance. Normal capacity was 25,000 direct labor hours. Overhead Volume Variance
Answer:
$5,974 U
Explanation:
a). Variable Cost = Standard Hours × Variable Per Direct Labor
= 22,100 hours × $7.19 = $158,899
Predetermined Overhead Charged to Production = Standard Hours × Overhead Rate Per Direct Labor
= 22,100 hours × $9.25 = $204,425
Budgeted Overhead Volume Variance = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost - Predetermined Overhead Charged to Production
=$158,889 + $51,500 - $204,425 = $5,974 U
b). Alternative Method:-
Normal Capacity = 25,000
Standard Hours = 22,100
Fixed Overhead Rate at Normal Capacity = Fixed Cost ÷ Normal Capacity Hours
= $51,500 ÷ 25,000 = $2.06
Overhead Volume Variance = (Normal Capacity - Standard Hours) × Fixed Overhead Rate at Normal Capacity
= (25,000 - 22,100) × 2.06 = 2,900 × $2.06 = $5,974 U
The overhead volume variance is calculated as the difference between actual hours and standard hours, multiplied by the predetermined overhead rate.
Overhead Volume Variance:
To calculate the overhead volume variance, we use the formula:
Overhead Volume Variance = (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) x Predetermined Overhead Rate
Plugging in the values, the calculation would be: (22,000 - 22,100) x $9.25 = -$925 Overhead Volume Variance.

The most recent financial statements for Kerch, Inc., are shown here (assuming no income taxes): Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $ 8,400 Assets $ 14,000 Debt $ 6,000 Costs 6,390 Equity 8,000 Net income $ 2,010 Total $ 14,000 Total $ 14,000 Assets and costs are proportional to sales. Debt and equity are not. No dividends are paid. Next year’s sales are projected to be $9,996. What is the external financing needed? (Do not round intermed
Answer: $268.10
Explanation:
Assets and Costs are proportional to sales meaning they grow at the same rate.
Sales rate of growth is,
= (9,996-8,400)/8400
=19%
Assuming that costs grew by 19% then Costs next year will be ,
= 6,390 * (1 + 0.19)
= $7,604.1
Meaning that Net Income is,
= Sales - Costs.
= 9,996 - 7,604.1
= $2,391.9
Retained earnings or net income is added to Equity
Total Equity= 8,000 + 2391.9
Total Equity =$10,391.90
Total Assets also grew by 19% as per the question so,
= 14,000* (1 + 0.19)
=$16,660
Going by the Accounting Equation,
Total assets = Total equity + Total debt
Hence external financing needed
16,660 = 10391.9 + 6000 + Additional funding
Additional funding = 16,660 - 10391.9 - 6,000
Additional funding = $268.10
Final answer:
The external financing needed for Kerch, Inc. to meet the projected increase in sales for the next year, considering no changes in the debt level and all net income is retained, is $268.10.
Explanation:
Calculating External Financing Needed for Kerch, Inc.
To calculate the external financing needed for Kerch, Inc., we need to evaluate the changes in the company's balance sheet that will occur due to the projected increase in sales. Since assets and costs are proportional to sales, we can forecast these figures for the next year based on the new sales projection of $9,996.
First, we determine the percentage increase in sales:
$9,996 (Projected Sales) / $8,400 (Current Sales) = 1.19, which is a 19% increase in sales.
Next, we apply this percentage to the current assets to estimate the next year's assets:
$14,000 (Current Assets) * 1.19 (Percentage Increase) = $16,660 (Projected Assets).
Similarly, we calculate the projected costs:
$6,390 (Current Costs) * 1.19 (Percentage Increase) = $7,604.10 (Projected Costs).
Now we calculate the projected net income. Note that since there are no taxes or dividends, net income will equal sales minus costs:
$9,996 (Projected Sales) - $7,604.10 (Projected Costs) = $2,391.90 (Projected Net Income).
Given that there are no dividends and net income is added to equity, the new equity value will be:
$8,000 (Current Equity) + $2,391.90 (Projected Net Income) = $10,391.90 (Projected Equity).
Since debt is not proportional to sales, it remains at $6,000.
Total projected financing required (Projected Assets) = Projected Debt + Projected Equity,
$16,660 (Total Projected Financing) - $6,000 (Debt) - $10,391.90 (Equity) = $268.10 (External Financing Needed).
The external financing needed for Kerch, Inc. to support the projected increase in sales is $268.10.
You are the HR manager at FoodFaire, a local grocery store.

Varto Company has 12,600 units of its sole product in inventory that it produced last year at a cost of $31 each. This year’s model is superior to last year’s, and the 12,600 units cannot be sold at last year’s regular selling price of $49 each. Varto has two alternatives for these items: (1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each or (2) they can be processed further at a cost of $272,300 and then sold for $34 each. Should Varto sell the products as is or process further and then sell them?
Answer:
It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of units= 12,600
Varto has two alternatives for these items:
(1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each
(2) they can be processed further for $272,300 and then sold for $34 each.
The first cost of $31 is a sunk cost, it will remain no matter which option is chosen. We will not take it into account for the decision making process.
Option 1:
Effect on income= 12,600*13= $163,800
Option 2:
Effect on income= 12,600*34 - 272,300= $156,100
It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.
