Electronic Component Company (ECC) is a producer of high-end video and music equipment. ECC currently sells its top of the line "ECC" video player for a price of $250. It costs ECC $210 to make the player. ECC's main competitor is coming to market with a new video player that will sell for a price of $220. ECC feels that it must reduce its price to $220 in order to compete. The sales and marketing department of ECC believes the reduced price will cause sales to increase by 15%. ECC currently sells 200,000 video players per year. Assuming sales and marketing are not correct in their estimation and the volume of sales is not changed and ECC meets the competitive price, what is the target cost if ECC wants to maintain its same income level

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

ECC and Target Costing

Target cost to maintain same income level is:

$180

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Unit Selling price = $250

Unit Cost price = $210

Competitors' unit selling price = $220

Current annual quantity sold = 200,000

Target unit profit = $40 ($250 - 210)

b) For ECC to meet the competitive price of $220 and still maintain the same income level of $40 per unit, the target cost will not exceed $180 ($220 - 40).  The target cost is the cost that ECC must not exceed in order to achieve a target contribution or profit of $40 per unit of video players sold.

Answer:

Moonligh Bay Resorts will report a Non-current liability of $126 million

Explanation:

The step is to determine the classification of the items in the balance sheet

This is done as follows

Description                                                                           Amount ($)

Total Deferred Tax liability (168 million + 120 million)        288 million

(Deferred tax liabilities related to

both current and non-current assets)

Total Deferred tax asset (102 million + 60 million)              (162 million)

The net deferred tax liability                                               126 million

Since, under the International Financial Reporting Standards Deferred Tax Liability is a Non-current liability, it means Moonligh Bay Resorts will report a Non-current liability of $126 million

What is the expected dividend in each of the next 3 years? b. If the discount rate for the stock is 12 percent, at what price will the stock sell? c. What is the expected stock price 3 years from now? d. If you buy the stock and plan to hold it for 3 years, what payments will you receive? What is the present value of those payments? Compare your answer to (b).

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

a. Expected dividend in each of the next 3 years is

Dividend in year 1 = Current Dividend × (1 + growth rate)

= 2 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.08

Dividend in year 2 = Dividend in year 1 × (1 + growth rate)

= 2.08 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.1632

Dividend in year 3 = Dividend in year 2 × (1 + growth rate)

= 2.1632 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.249728

b Price the stock will sell

Current Price = Dividend in year 1 ÷ (Discount rate - growth rate)

= 2.08 ÷ (0.12 - 0.04)

= 26

c. Expected Price 3 years from now  is

Price in Year 3 =  Dividend in year 4 ÷ (Discount rate - growth rate)

= [2 × (1 + 0.04)^4] ÷ (0.12 - 0.04)

= 2.33971712 ÷ 0.08

= 29.246464

d. The present value of payments received is

Year       Dividend ÷ Price   PVF at 12%  Present Value of Dividend ÷ Price

0                    2                              1  

1 Dividend    2.08             0.892857143               1.857142857

2 Dividend  2.1632           0.797193878               1.724489796

3 Dividend   2.249728      0.711780248              1.601311953

You are CEO of Eastco, and you recently paid $58,000 or about 2x revenue (well under industry average) to purchase Westco, which makes a product nearly identical to yours. This move will allow you to operate in both regions (East and West) of the country.
If you combine the markets, the total Fixed Cost would be $11,000 per month, and your larger purchase size will allow you to advantageous terms for your raw materials, meaning VC will be $4 per unit.
Demand and MR in the combined market is as follows: Qd = 600 - 6P
MR = 100 - 0.333Q
a) Compute your profit in the combined market.
Additional analysis shows that demand and fixed costs are different in the 2 regions.
The West has the following demand and MR:
Qd = 300 - 4P
MR = 75 - 0.5Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the West are $5000/month. While the East is a less price sensitive market:
Qd = 300 - 2P
MR = 150 - Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the East are $6000/month.
The area manager from the East suggests you use a strategy that charges each market a separate price. If you operate in separate markets, the VC associated with each unit is $5.
b) Calculate your profits using this strategy. What is this strategy called?
c) What strategy do you suggest in the Long Run?

TRV is expecting to purchase a new manufacturing line. It is expected to cost 119,000 and will require an additional 12,000 to set-up. It will generate $25,000 annually for the next 5 years. What is the modified internal rate of return if the cost of capital is 12% and the expected rate on reinvestments is equal to 8%?

Answers

Answer:

2.28%

Explanation: Given the following :

Expected cost = 119,000

Additional cost = 12,000

Cash Inflow = $25,000

Number of years = 5 years

Cost of capital = 12%

Reinvestment rate = 8%

The Modified Internal rate of return is used to evaluate the yield on an investment over a certain period of time. The Modified Internal rate of return is similar to the internal rate of return, however, the difference between the lies in the fact that MIRR takes into account that profit accrued each year is reinvested at a steady rate called the Reinvestment rate.

MIRR can be calculated using excel or the online calculators by taking into account the value range, the financing rate and the Reinvestment rate.

Using the Omni MIRR calculator :

Cash inflow of 25,000 over 5 years

Reinvestment rate of 8%

Financing rate of 12%

Total initial investment of (119,000 + 12000) = 131,000

MIRR value = 2.28%

a. 32.86​%.
b. 24.65​%.
c. 30.12​%.
d. 27.39​%.

Answers

Answer: 12.91%

Explanation:

The mean is;

= (5% + 15% - 15% - 5%)/4

= 0

Standard deviation = √((∑(Return-mean)^2)/[time period-1])

= (√((5-0)^2 + (15-0)^2 + (-15-0)^2 + (-5-0)^2)/ (4 -1))

= √((25% + 225% + 225% + 25% ) / 3 )

What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 134 shares of Stock A that sell for $44 per share and 114 shares of Stock B that sell for $34 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)

Answers

Answer:portfolio weights -A=0.6034; B=0.3966

Explanation:

Total value of stock A = no. of shares * market value per share

= 134 x $44= $5,896

Total  value of stock B = 114 x $34 = $3,876

Weight of stock A = Total value of stock A / ( Total  value of stock A+Total M value of stock B)

= 5,896/ (5896+3,876 )

=  5,896/9,772

= 0.6034

Weight of stock B =Total value of stock B / ( Total  value of stock A+Total value of stock B)   OR 1 - Weight of stock A

=3,876 / (5896+3,876 )

=3,876 //9,772

= 0.3966

OR 1-0.6034 =0.3966

What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale

Answers

Answer:

Economies of scale: occur when total costs for the firm go down as the firm increases output. This is why in some industries, large firms are more profitable that small firms.

Constant returns to scale: the property that occurs when increasings in factors or production (labor, capital) lead to the same increase the amount of goods or services produced.

Diseconomies of scale: this is the opposite to economies of scale. Occurs when firms experience higher costs due to larger production. They mostly occur due to coordination issues that arise when firms become to large to manage well.

You find a certain stock that had returns of 14 percent, −11 percent, 21 percent, and 22 percent for four of the last five years. The average return of the stock over this period was 12 percent.
What was the stock’s return for the missing year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Stock’s return %
What is the standard deviation of the stock’s returns? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Standard deviation %

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The calculations of the stock return for the missing year is shown below:

a. Let us assume the fifth year stock return be x

As we know that  

Average rate of return = Total returns ÷ number of years

0.12 = (0.1 - 0.11 + 0.21 + 0.22 + x) ÷ 5

So after solving this, the x is 14%

b. Now the standard deviation of the stock return is presented in the excel spreadsheet

The standard deviation is 13.40%

For the month of January, the company planned for activity of 156 births, but the actual level of activity was 163 births. The actual wages and salaries for the month was $82,141. The wages and salaries in the flexible budget for January would be closest to:______.a. $82,141.b. $108,711.
c. $109,151.
d. $108,630.
e. $104,202.

Answers

Answer:

$81,630

Explanation:

Cost formula for the wages and salaries = $3,390 per Month + $480 per Birth

Where;

Planned number of activity = 156 births

Actual level of activity = 163 births

Therefore, the wages and salaries in the flexible budget for January is calculated below;

= ($3,390 * 1) + ($480 * 163)

= $3,390 + $78,240

= $81,630

Answer:

Total cost= $81,630

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Tulip Midwifery's cost formula for its wages and salaries is $3,390 per month plus $480 per birth. The actual level of activity was 163 births.

The flexible budget will show the standard costs and actual activity.

Flexible budget:

Total cost= 3,390 + 480*163

Total cost= $81,630

Suppose a ​-year, bond with annual coupons has a price of and a yield to maturity of . What is the​ bond's coupon​ rate? The coupon rate is nothing​%. ​(Round to two decimal​ places.)

Answers

Complete Question:

Suppose a five-year, $1000 bond with annual coupons has a price of $903.35 and a yield to maturity of 5.6%. What is the bond's coupon rate?

Answer:

3.396% Approximately

Explanation:

We can calculate the coupon interest by using the formula given in the attachment.

Now, here we have:

F is the Face value which is $1000

P is the price of the bond which in this case is $903.35

C is the Coupon interest

n are the number of years which is 5 years in this case

Yield to Maturity is 5.6%

By putting the values in the given equation we have:

5.6% = [C        +    ($1000 - $903.35)/5 years]  /  [($1000 + $903.35)/2]

5.6% =   [C        +    19.33]  /  [951.675]

0.056 * 951.675 = C        +    19.33

53.2938 = C + 19.33

C = 53.2938 - 19.33

C = $33.96 approximate estimate.

Now we will find the coupon rate by using the following formula:

Coupon Rate = Coupon Interest / Face Value

By putting values, we have:

Coupon Rate = $33.96 / $1000 = 3.396% Approximately.

Accurate Coupon interest can be calculated using excel. The above answer gives minor difference in decimal points.

The bond coupon rate when all things are given so it should be closest to the 3.396%.

Calculation of the bond coupon rate:

Since

F is the Face value =  $1000

P is the price of the bond = $903.35

C is the Coupon interest

n are the number of years = 5 years

Yield to Maturity = 5.6%

Now

5.6% = [C        +    ($1000 - $903.35)/5 years]  /  [($1000 + $903.35)/2]

5.6% =   [C        +    19.33]  /  [951.675]

0.056 * 951.675 = C        +    19.33

53.2938 = C + 19.33

C = 53.2938 - 19.33

C = $33.96

Now the coupon rate is

Coupon Rate = Coupon Interest / Face Value

Coupon Rate

= $33.96 / $1000

= 3.396%

Outstanding debt of Home Depot trades with a yield to maturity of ​%. The tax rate of Home Depot is . What is the effective cost of debt of Home​ Depot?

Answers

Answer:

5.6%

Explanation:

A lot of information is missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:

"Outstanding debt of Home Depot trades with a yield to maturity of 8%.

The tax rate of Home Depot is 30%.

What is the effective cost of debt of Home Depot?"

the effective cost of debt or after tax cost of debt = debt's yield to maturity x (1 - tax rate) = 8% x (1 - 30%) = 8% x 0.7 = 5.6%

Dean brings up the ambiguity branch managers at First National Bank face. He believes senior leadership needs to make the managers' most important priorities clear. This thinking most closely resembles which principles?

Answers

Answer:

Functional Principles

Explanation:

When it comes to proper organization in businesses, there are several principles that should be adhered to in order to achieve proper functioning. The functional principle indicates that the roles of every person in a department, be it managers or subordinates, must be properly explained to them in order to achieve smooth operations in the business.

When roles and responsibilities are properly explained, each person becomes aware of the expectations from him at every point in time. This in turn allows for efficiency in the discharge of duties. So, when Dean explains that the role of the manager should be properly explained, he is making reference to the functional principle.

What needs would you strive to satisfy on the job? Why? What role would your manager play in helping you satisfy these needs?

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanations below

Explanation:

Need is what one requires or basic necessity that bring survival.

According to Abraham Maslow, there are five basic needs of human beings which are arranged according to how they are valued. They are physiological, security, social, esteem and self actualization.

The needs I would strive to satisfy on the job are security, physiological and social needs. This is because once my job is safe, then my survival is fine because my job is what provides money for me to fend for myself. Another need is physiological need such as having time to rest, have clothing, food and shelter etc. If I have job security, then my physiological needs will be met while I should be able to interact or have relationship with people within my immediate environment ; which is my social need.

Before a manager could play any role in helping me satisfying these needs, the manager must first identify what my needs on the job are, after which he can motivate me so that I can perform at a higher level. Also, for optimal performance, my manager must be able to align my interest, including my team member's interest to that of the organization.
