Write down a list of potential satisfiers in financial services and then a list of dissatisfiers. what would be the benefits to the financial institution of eliminating or reducing the dissatisfiers?
Answer:
Explanation:
Satisfiers are positive factors which influence work behavior. They are often addressed as "motivation givers"
List of satisfiers includes
Recognition
Promotion
Growth
Self growth
Achievements
Dissatisfiers on the other hand, are the negative factors that influence work behavior. They are called "hygene factors". Basically, they do not provide satisfaction.
Examples of dissatisfiers include
Company policies which frustrate employees
Working in unfavourable conditions
Poor salary
Not placing value on the employees
Too many bureaucracy.
Eliminating dissatisfiers brings decorum to a financial institution. It makes the institution utopian, so to say

Explanation:
A negative cashflow is meant to indicate that cash has left the company. If this is in relation to the owners then it either means that the company has repurchased shares or paid out dividends.
From the options, the correct answer would be that the company issued dividends while maintaining a constant number of outstanding shares of stock. This would be reflected in the Financing section of the Cashflow statement.
The company has a target net income of $206,000. What is the required sales in dollars for the company to meet its target?
Complete Question:
Blue Spruce Corporation has collected the following information after its first year of sales. Sales were $1,600,000 on 100,000 units, selling expenses $240,000 (40% variable and 60% fixed), direct materials $514,000, direct labor $270,800, administrative expenses $280,000 (20% variable and 80% fixed), and manufacturing overhead $376,000 (70% variable and 30% fixed). Top management has asked you to do a CVP analysis so that it can make plans for the coming year. It has projected that unit sales will increase by 10% next year.
Requirement:
The company has a target net income of $206,000. What is the required sales in dollars for the company to meet its target?
Answer:
$2,747,200
Explanation:
We can calculate the target sales by using the following following formula:
Target Sales = (Fixed Cost + Target Net Income) / Contribution to Sales Ratio (Step1)
Here
Target Net Income is $206,000
Fixed Cost includes 60% of selling expenses $240,000 (100%), 80% of administrative expenses $280,000 (100%) and 30% of manufacturing overhead $376,000 (100%).
This means that:
Total Fixed Cost = 60% * $240,000 + 80% * $280,000 + 30% * $376,000
Fixed Cost = $144,000 + $224,000 + $112,800
Fixed Cost = $480,800
Contribution to Sales ration is 25%
By putting values in the above equation, we have:
Target Sales = ($480,800 + $206,000) / 25% = $2,747,200Step1: Find Contribution to Sales Ratio
As we know that:
Contribution to Sales Ratio = (Selling Price per Unit (Step2) - Variable Cost per Unit (Step3) ) / Selling Price per Unit
Here
Selling Price per unit is $16 per Unit
Variable Cost per Unit is $12 per Unit
Contribution Sales Ratio is 25%
By putting values, we have:
Contribution Sales Ratio = ($16 per Unit - $12 per Unit) / $16 per Unit
Contribution Sales Ratio = 25%
Step2: Find Selling Price Per Unit
Selling price per unit = Total sales / Total units = $1,600,000 / 100,000 Units
Selling price per unit = $16 per Unit
Step3: Find Variable Cost per unit
Here, the first thing that we would compute will be total variable cost and then we will calculate variable cost per unit.
Here
Total Variable Cost = (Selling expenses $240,000 * 40%) + (Direct Material Cost $514,000) + (Direct Labor Cost of $270,800) + (Administrative expenses of $280,000 * 20%) + (Manufacturing overhead $376,000 * 70%)
Total Variable Cost = ($240,000 * 40%) + ($514,000) + ($270,800) + ($280,000 * 20%) + ($376,000 * 70%)
= $96,000 + $514,000 + $270,800 + $56,000 + $263,200
Total Variable Cost = $1,200,000 for 100,000 Units
Variable Cost For single unit = $1,200,000 / 100,000 Units
Variable Cost per Unit = $12 per Unit
I sell bottled water that costs me $1 to produce. I mark each bottle up by $2. What is my margin on price
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
To calculate the margin on price, you have to find the difference between the price of the good and the cost to produce it and the result is divided by the price of the product:
Margin=(2-1)/2
Margin=1/2
Margin=0.5 → 50%
According to this, your margin on price is 50%.
You have $130,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expected return of 14.6 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 12.8 percent and a beta of 1.30, and Stock Y has an expected return of 7.8 percent and a beta of 1.05. a. How much money will you invest in Stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.) b. What is the beta of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)
Answer:
Let X be the amount invested in stock A
Let 1-X be the amount invested in stock B
Expected rate = (Required rate of X* X) + (Required ratebof Y * (1-X))
0.146 = (0.128 * X) + (0.078 * (1-X))
0.146 = 0.128X + 0.078 - 0.078X
0.146 - 0.078 = 0.128X - 0.078X
X = 0.068/0.05
X = 1.36
Amount to be invested in Stick X = $130,000 * 1.36
= $176,000
Amount to be invested in Stock Y = (1-X) * Available amount
= (1-1.36) * $130,000
= $46,800
Therefore, the amount to be invested in Stick Y = -$46,800
Calculation of the portfolio beta
bp = w1b1 + w2b2 + ........ + wnbn
bp = (1.36*1.3) + ((-0.36) * 1.05)
bp = 1.768 - 0.378
bp = 1.29
Therefore, the portfolio beta is 1.39

Carter Motor Company, claims that its new sedan, the Libra, will average better than 23 miles per gallon in the city. Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion:__________.
a. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than 23 miles per gallon.
b. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is less than 23 miles per gallon.
c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.
d. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.
Answer: c. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.
Explanation:
When doing a research, there are 2 Hypothesis one must come up with which are the Null Hypothesis and the Alternative hypothesis.
The Null Hypothesis should state that there is no relationship between the variables which in this case would mean that new sedan, the Libra, will not average better than 23 miles per gallon in the city.
The Alternative Hypothesis on the other hand affirms the belief of the researcher which in this case is that new sedan, the Libra, will average better than 23 miles per gallon in the city.
As the null hypothesis was rejected by the evidence, it means that indeed the Libra mean is greater than 23 miles per gallon.

Mason’s Meows is a company that makes cat toys. The company sells 1200 toys per year. The firm incurs a fixed cost of $150 in labor each time it starts up the manufacturing process to begin a new batch of toys. Each toy costs Mason’s Meows $9 to produce. The company's accountant recommends using a holding cost equal to 20% of the cost of the toy, per year.
a) What is the optimal batch size, Q*? If the company uses batches of size Q*, how many times per year, on average, will it start up the manufacturing process?
b) After careful analysis, the inventory team at Mason's Meows realized that the per-unit production cost is smaller if the batch size is larger. In particular, the production cost is $9 per unit for batches of fewer than 400 units and $7.50 per unit for batches of 400 or more units. Now what is the optimal batch size?
Answer:
a. The optimal batch size, Q * is Economic order quantity (EOQ)
Annual demand = 1,200 toys
Cost of each toy =$9
Fixed cost starts up the manufacturing process (S) = $150/batch
Inventory carrying cost (H) = 20% of the cost of the toy, per year
Inventory carrying cost (H) = 20% *$9 per unit
Inventory carrying cost (H) = $1.80 per Toy per year
EOQ = Q* = √ (2 * Annual Demand *fixed processing cost/ Inventory carrying cost)
EOQ = √ (2 * 1,200 *$150 / $1.80)
EOQ = Q* = 447.21
EOQ = Q* = 447 toys
The optimal batch size is 447 toys
Number of orders per year, on average, if it will start up the manufacturing process
= Annual demand / EOQ
= 1,200 / 447
= 2.68 times per year
b. Annual demand = 1200 toys
Cost of each toy =$7.5 (assume that batch size is more than 400)
Fixed cost starts up the manufacturing process (S) = $150/batch
Inventory carrying cost (H) = 20% of the cost of the toy, per year
Inventory carrying cost (H) = 20% *$7.5 per unit
Inventory carrying cost (H) = $1.50 per Toy per year
EOQ = Q* = √ (2 * Annual Demand *fixed processing cost/ Inventory carrying cost)
EOQ = √ (2 * 1,200 *$150 / $1.50)
EOQ = Q* = 489.90
EOQ = Q* = 490 toys
The optimal batch size is 490 toys.

suppose that the equilibrium orice of t-shirts increases and the equilibrium quanitiy of t-shorts decreases. this is best explained by
Answer: Supply of T-shirts decreasing
Explanation:
If the supply of T-shirts decreases, the equilibrium quantity of t-shirts being supplied to the market will decrease as well. Assuming that demand stays the same, the leftward shift of the supply curve will intersect with the demand curve at a higher equilibrium price.
This is simply because as the t-shirts are in short supply, people will be willing to pay more to have them as they are not as widespread as before.
Which of the following ratios would be least useful in determining a company's ability to pay its expenses and liabilities?
A) Current ratio
B) Acid-test ratio
C) Price-earnings ratio
D) Times interest earned ratio
Answer: C) Price-earnings ratio
Explanation:
The Price - earnings ratio is used to calculate the company's share price to its earnings per share. It uses the market value of the stock and thus has the least correlation to the actual inner workings of the company.
The Current and Acid test ratios can be used to calculate if the company is able to cover its current liabilities given its current assets and its most liquid current assets respectively. The Times Interest ratio shows if the company is able to pay its debt payments with the funds available.
The odd one out is therefore the Price-Earnings ratio.
The ratio that least useful in determining a company's ability to pay its expenses and liabilities is the price-earnings ratio.
The following information is to be considered:
The Price-earnings ratio is the market ratio where it determined the market value of the stock with respect to the earnings.Also it compared the market price per share from the earning per share.Therefore we can conclude that The ratio that least useful in determining a company's ability to pay its expenses and liabilities is the price-earnings ratio.

Explanation:
An office supply store open 5 days a week must determine the best inventory policy for boxes of copier paper. Weekly demand is nearly constant at 250 boxes and when orders are placed, then entire shipment arrives at once. The cost per box is $22 and the inventory holding cost is 30%. Orders are placed at a cost of $40 each, including preparation time and communication charges, and the lead time is 2 days. a. Find the optimal order quantity. b. What is the reorder point
Answer:
a. 295 boxes
b. 100 boxes
Explanation:
The level at which ordering and storage costs are at minimal is known as the optimal order quantity.
optimal order quantity = √(2×Annual Demand×Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
Therefore,
optimal order quantity = √((2×250×52×$22) / ($22 × 30%))
= 294.39 or 295 boxes
Reorder point is the point at which the order should be placed to obtain additional inventories.
Reorder Point = Lead Time × Usage during the lead time
Therefore,
Reorder Point = 2 days × (250 boxes ÷ 5 days)
= 100 boxes
The optimal order quantity is 295 boxes and the reorder point is 100 boxes.
From the information given, the optimal order quantity will be:
= √(2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order) / Holding Cost per unit
= √[(2×250×52×$22) / ($22 × 30%)]
= 295 boxes
The Reorder Point will be calculated thus:
= Lead Time × Usage during the lead time
= 2 days × (250 boxes / 5 days)
= 100

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $56 per share, paid a dividend of $1.60 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $66. What was the dividend yield and the capital gains yield?
Answer:
Dividend yield= 2.85%
Capital gain yield= 17.85%
Explanation:
A stock has an initial price of $56 per share
The dividend paid is $1.60 per share.
The ending share price is $66
The dividend yield can be calculated as follows
= $1.60/56
= 0.0285
= 2.85%
The capital gain yield can be calculated as follows
= $66-$56/$56
= $10/$56
= 0.1785
= 17.85%
