Answer:
False
Explanation:
As a company's sales level increases, its current assets will increase, e.g. cash, inventories, accounts receivables increase. generally, also the fixed assets increase, specially if the firm was previous producing at full capacity even before total sales increased. But as sales increase, not only do the company's assets increase, its current liabilities generally increase also, and its profits should increase. In this case, 60% of the company's profits are reinvested in the company, and the liabilities represent more than half of the total assets. Therefore, it is possible that the company needs external financing, but it is also possible that it doesn't. You cannot assume that the company will necessarily need external financing, because retained earnings and the increase in current liabilities might be enough to finance the company's growth in sales.
The budgeted conversion costs for a just-in-time cell are $244,720 for 3,800 production hours. Each unit produced by the cell requires 45 minutes of cell process time. During the month, 2,100 units are manufactured in the cell. The estimated materials cost is $50 per unit.

Explanation:
Journals serve multi-purposes for the initial recording of business transactions. They also play important roles for period-end and other adjustments. Journals come in hand for closing entries of transactions. Importantly, they identify the accounts that are debited and credited respectively. There are many kinds of journals for various purposes, from the general to so many of the specialized kinds. We can even use journal entries to record exchange of quantities, not only dollar amounts, as demonstrated above.

an investment under consideration has a payback of six years and a cost of 876000. Assume the cash flows are conventional. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the worst-case NPV?
Answer:
-43291.14
Explanation:
Npv = net present value
Payback = 6 years
Required return = 12 percent
Cost = 876000
When we talk about last case npv we mean that cash flow has gotten to its last future. The entire cost of 876000 will have to be paid after 6 years and after that future cash flows would exist.
Npv = -876000 +(876000/1.12)⁶
= -876000+443808.86
= = -43291.14

Explanation:
If a project has a cost of $10,000, expected net cash flows of $1500 a year for 12 years and you use a discount rate of 6%,
1. What is the following:
a. Payback period (no application of discount rate)
b. Payback period (using discount rate)
c. NPV
d. IRR
2. Should the project be accepted?
3. If another project has a cost of $10,000 and has expected life of 8 years and it will generate $3000 a year should you accept the project if your boss says the cost of capital is 5%?
Answer:
1a, 6.67 years
b. 8.9 years
c. NPV = $2,575.77
d. IRR = 10.45%
2. it should be accepted
3. it should be accepted.
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = $10,000 / $1500 = 6.67 years
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
discounted cash flow in year 1 = $1500 / 1.06 = $1415.09
discounted cash flow in year 2 = $1500 / 1.06^2 = $1,334.99
discounted cash flow in year 3 = $1500 / 1.06^3 = $1,259.43
discounted cash flow in year 4 = $1500 / 1.06^4 = $1,188.14
discounted cash flow in year 5 = $1500 / 1.06 ^5 = $1,120.89
discounted cash flow in year 6 = $1500 / 1.06^6 = $1,057.44
discounted cash flow in year 7 = $1500 / 1.06^7 = $997.59
discounted cash flow in year 8 = $941.12
please check the attached image on how the discounted payback period was calculated
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 12 = $1,500
I = 6%
NPV = $2,575.77
IRR = 10.45%
The project should be accepted because the NPV is positive, this indicates that the project is profitable. Also, the IRR is greater than the discount rate, so the project should be accepted.
to determine if the project should be accepted, the NPV of the project should be determined.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $3,000
I = 5%
NPV = $13,165.20
the project should be accepted because the NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

The Vice-President of ACME Corporation, an NYSE listed firm, places an order to buy 10,000 shares of ACME common at the market. 3 months later, ACME stock's price has increased by 20% and the officer places an order to sell. Which statement is TRUE
Answer: D. The officer must forfeit the profit on the sale
Explanation:
The Vice-president of ACME who is the one attempting to sell is an officer of ACME and as such falls under Rule 144 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a control person.
This Act is meant to curb market manipulation and so it places restrictions on some activities by officers of a company. One of which is that for the seller to claim any profits on such sales, they would have to had held the stock for at least 6 months so that they do not have a "short swing" profit. If they do so, they are to pay the profits accrued back to the Issuer of the stock so indeed, the officer must forfeit the profit on the sale.

The complete question is:
Carlos wants to purchase a new computer and go to the Caribbean for spring break. The computer is priced at $1,299, and the vacation is priced at $750. He has only $1,537 in his checking account, so he cannot afford to purchase both. After much thought, Brian buys the computer and writes a check for $1,299.
Identify what role money plays in each of the following parts of the story.
Carlos can easily determine that the price of the computer is more than the price of the vacation.
Carlos has $1,537 in his checking account.
Carlos writes a check for $1,299.
Answer:
Carlos can easily determine that the price of the computer is more than the price of the vacation.= Unit of Account
Carlos has $1,537 in his checking account.= Store of value
Carlos writes a check for $1,299.= Medium of Exchange
Explanation:
In this scenario the different functions of money are exhibited. The 3 functions of money are as unit of account, store of value and medium of exchange.
When Carlos determines that the price of the computer is larger than that of price of a vacation money functions as a unit of account. The amount for a computer is $1,299 which is larger than the cost of a vacation ($750)
The money in his account is a store of value from which he can make pitches in the present or in the future.
When he writes the check for the computer, he is exchanging money for the computer. Money acts as a medium of exchange

You want to make a one-time deposit today that will increase in value to $100 at the end of this year. Which rate of interest will allow you to deposit the least amount today to reach this goal
Answer:
The rate of interest is 11.111%
The Deposit should be $90 today.
The future value at the end of this year will be $100.
Explanation:
Future value of $100
Present value of $100 at 11.111% = $100/11.111 = $90
The future value of a deposit today is the value after a period of one year or so periods. The rate of interest produces the discount factor that can calculate the present value of $100. To make a one-time deposit of $90 today will increase in value to $100 using an interest rate of 11.111%.

A company uses 40000 pounds of materials for which it paid $2 a pound. The materials price variance was $20000 unfavorable. What is the standard price per pound
Answer:
Standard price= $1.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company uses 40000 pounds of materials for which it paid $2 a pound. The materials price variance was $20000 unfavorable.
To calculate the standard price, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
-20,000= (standard price - 2)*40,000
-20,000= 40,000standard price - 80,000
60,000/40,000= standard price
standard price= $1.5
Problem 11-5 Sensitivity Analysis and Break-Even [LO1, 3] We are evaluating a project that costs $560,400, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 80,000 units per year. Price per unit is $38, variable cost per unit is $24, and fixed costs are $680,000 per year. The tax rate is 22 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project. a-1. Calculate the accounting break-even point. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) a-2. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point
Answer:
a-1. $1,845,714.29
a-2 8.2805
Explanation:
a-1 Calculate the accounting break even point.
At break even point, the net income is 0.
Given the data below as extracted from the information above;
Quantity Q = 80,000 units
Price per unit P = $38
Unit variable cost VC = $24
Fixed costs FC = $680,000
Tax rate = 22%
• Break even point
= Fixed costs / P - VC
= $680,000 / ($38 - $24)
= $680,000 / $14
= 48,571.43
Therefore, accounting break even
= Q × P
= 48,571.43 × $38
= $1,845,714.29
(a-2) What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break even point.
Given that;
Fixed costs = $680,00
Asset investment = $560,400
Project life span = 6 years
Depreciation = Asset investment / Project life span
= $560,00 / 6
= $93,400
Please note that at accounting level, the operating cash flow is equal to depreciation,
Operating cash flow = Depreciation = $93,400
Therefore, the degree of operating leverage is;
= 1 + Fixed costs / Operating cash flow
= 1 + $680,000 / $93,400
= 8.2805

Answer:
Total overhead= $1,500,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
First, we need to separate the variable overhead and the fixed overhead:
Variable overhead:
Indirect labor 730,000
Machine supplies 200,000
Indirect materials 220,000
Total variable overhead= $1,150,000
Fixed overhead:
Depreciation on factory building $120,000
Now, we need to calculate the unitary variable overhead:
unitary variable overhead= 1,150,000/50,000= $23
Finally, the total overhead for 60,000 units:
Total overhead= 23*60,000 + 120,000
Total overhead= $1,500,000
A creamery shop sells its special ice cream for $4.50 a quart. It costs them $3.00 a quart to make it. The daily demand for this flavor is normally distributed with a mean of 35 quarts and a standard deviation of 4 quarts. Unsold ice cream is sold each day to a local restaurant at $1.50 per quart. What is the service level and corresponding optimal stocking level?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the service level and the corresponding optimal stocking level is shown below:
Given that
Selling price = SP = $4.50
Cost price = CP = $3.00
So,
Salvage value = V = $1.50
Average daily demand (d) = 35 quarts
The standard deviation of daily demand = 4 quarts
based on the above information
Overage cost = (Co) is
= CP - V
= $3.00 - $1.50
= $1.50
Now
Underage cost= (Cu)
= SP - CP
= $4.50 - $3.00
= $1.50
So,
Service level is
= Cu ÷ (Co + Cu)
= 1.50 ÷ (1.50 + 1.50)
= 1.50 ÷ 3.00
= 0.50
= 50%
Now
At 50 % service level, the value of Z is 0
So,
Optimal stocking level is
= d + Z × standard deviation
= 35 + (0 × 4)
= 35 + 0
= 35 quarts
A company had the following purchases during its first year of operations: Purchases January: 18 units at $128 February: 28 units at $138 May: 23 units at $148 September: 20 units at $158 November: 18 units at $168 On December 31, there were 58 units remaining in ending inventory. These 58 units consisted of 10 from January, 12 from February, 14 from May, 12 from September, and 10 from November. Using the specific identification method, what is the cost of the ending inventory?
Answer:
$8,584
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory can be calculated by multiplying the remaining units of the given month by their purchase cost in the following month
DATA
Total remaining units n ending inventory = 58 units
10 from January at $128
12 from February at $138
14 from May at $148
12 from September at $158
10 from November at $168
Calculation
January = 10 x $128 = $1,280
February = 12 x $138 = $1,656
May = 14 x $148 = $2,072
September = 12 x $158 = $1,896
November = 10 x $168 = $1,680
Cost of ending inventory = $8,584
ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structures. ABC is all-equity financed with $475,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $237,500 and the interest rate on its debt is 10 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $53,000. Ignore taxes.
Requried:
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
Answer:
ABC Co. and XYZ Co.
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
Expected Rate of Return = 12.32%
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
Cash flow from ABC Co. = 11.16% of $23,750 = $2,650.50
Cash outflow from homemade leverage = 10% of $11,875 = $1,187.50
Total cash flows = $1,463 ($2,650.50 - $1,187.50)
Rate of return = $1,463/$11,875 x 100 = 12.32%
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
Cost of Equity for ABC Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $53,000/$475,000 x 100
= 11.16%
Cost of Equity for XYZ Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $29,250/$237,500 x 100
= 12.32%
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
WACC for ABC = Cost of Equity = 11.16%
WACC for XYZ = Weighted Cost of Equity + Weighted Cost of Debt
= 11.16% x 50% + 10% x 50%
= 0.0558 + 0.05
= 0.1058
= 10.58%
Explanation:
ABC:
Equity = $475,000
Expected EBIT = $53,000
Returns on Equity = $53,000/$475,000 x 100 = 11.16%
XYZ:
Equity = $237,500
Debt = $237,500
Interest on Debt = 10% = $23,750
EBIT = $53,000
Return for Equity = $29,250 ($53,000 - 23,750)
Return on Equity = $29,250/$237,500 x 100 = 12.32%
RICO is assumed to leverage debt for his shares in ABC Co. to the tune of 50% just as the debt leverage in XYZ Co.
ABC's and XYZ's costs of equity are equal to the expected returns on the equities expressed percentages of the equities.
ABC's and XYZ's WACC or Weighted Average Costs of Capital are the weighted cost of equity plus the weighted cost of debt respectively.
Determine fixed cost, F; average variable cost, AVC; average cost, AC; marginal cost, MC; and average fixed-cost, AFC. The fixed cost function (F) is
Answer:
Fixed Cost Function = Average Cost - Average Variable cost
Explanation:
A fixed cost is the one which does not changes with the level of production. These cost are irrelevant to number of units production. It is not affected by the units produced and sold. The change in fixed cost does not affect the marginal cost. The marginal cost is the variable cost that is incurred by producing one more unit. These costs are affected by the level of production.
The Baldwin company wants to decrease its plant utilization for Brat by 15%. How many units would need to be produced next year to meet this production goal
Answer:
1,266 units
Explanation:
A lot of information is missing, but I found a similar question:
current production level = 1,500 unitscurrent plant utilization rate = 96%total plant capacity = 1,500 / 96% = 1,562.5 units
if plant utilization will decrease by 15% ⇒ 96% - 15% = 81%
plant production to meet required production goal = 1,562.5 x 81% = 1,265.625 = 1,266 units
In the consensus case, what is Amazon's enterprise value on the valuation date using the exit multiple terminal value
Answer:
The exit multiple expect that the market different premise is a reasonable strategy for esteeming a business. The estimation of the business is gotten by duplicating money related measurements, for example, EBITDA or EBIT by a factor that is basic to practically identical organizations that were as of late procured. A fitting scope of products can be created by taking a gander at late equivalent acquisitions in the open market.
The various acquired is then increased by the anticipated EBIT or EBITDA in year N (last year of projection period) to give the future incentive toward the finish of year N. The future value (otherwise called terminal value) is then limited by a factor equivalent to the quantity of years in the projection time frame.
