Take a real business activity example and relate with the concept of commission depreciation and simple and compound interest rate?

Answers

Answer & Explanation: Commission: This is a percentage earned on total sales. Using a health insurance company as an example, brokers earn commission on premium received by the company.

Depreciation: This relates to the wear and tear of an asset. The health insurance company fixed assets such as motor vehicle, furniture and equipments will be depreciated and expensed periodically.

Simple and compound interest rates: Simple interest rate is a rate charged directly on the principal amount deposited. If the health insurance company decides to invest in fixed income or call deposits with a bank for a period of 1 year. The bank can put a specific rate that will be paid to the company as an interest earned.

Compound interest rate on the other hand is beneficial to the financier. It is a rate charged on both the principal amount and the interest earned. For instance if the company decides to take a loan with the bank, the bank can charge a compound interest rate.

Answers

Answer:

It will take 4 years and 130 days to recover for the initial investment.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A project with an initial cost of $27,250 is expected to generate cash flows of $6,600, $8,700, $9,100, $8,000, and $7,400

The payback period is the time required to recover for the initial investment:

Year 1= 6,600 - 27,250= -20,650

Year 2= 8,700 - 20,650= -11,950

Year 3= 9,100 - 11,950= -2,850

Year 4= 8,000 - 2,850= 5,150

To be more accurate:

(2,850/8,000)*365= 130

It will take 4 years and 130 days to recover for the initial investment.

A firm recently reported EBITDA of $3.95 million, depreciation of $1.20 million, and had a tax rate of 40%. The firm's expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital totaled $1.2 million. How much was its free cash flow, in millions

Answers

Answer:

Free cash flow=$2.37

Explanation:

Calculation for how much was its free cash flow, in millions

Using this formula

Free cash flow =[ (Operating income * (1- tax rate) + Depreciation- Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital]

Where,

Operating income =$3.95

(1- tax rate) = (1 - .40)

Depreciation=$1.20

Expenditures on fixed assets and net operating working capital=$1.2

Let plug in the formula

Free cash flow = [($3.95 * (1 - .40) + $1.20 - $1.2]

Free cash flow=$3.95*0.60+$1.20-$1.2

Free cash flow=$2.37+$1.20-$1.2

Free cash flow=$3.57-$1.2

Free cash flow=$2.37

Therefore the amount of its free cash flow, in millions will be $2.37

7 pounds of raw material are required to make 1 finished unit. The company desires an ending raw materials inventory for each month equal to 29% of the following months production (in units of raw material) . How many pounds of raw material should be purchased in May?

Explanation:

We weren't provided with enough information to answer the request. But, I will give an example and formulas to guide an answer.

For example:

Production in units:

May=20,000

June= 22,000

Beginning inventory of direct materials= 8,000

To calculate the purchase for May, we need to use the following formula:

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.2 per direct labor dollar

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Company estimates total manufacturing overhead costs of $882,000 and, direct labor costs of $735,000

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 882,000/735,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.2 per direct labor dollar

Ticket prices to a Kanye West concert increase from $40 to $60. As a result, ticket sales decrease from 50,000 to 40,000. The elasticity of demand for Kanye West tickets equals ________ and demand is ________.

Answers

Answer:

.4

Inelastic

Explanation:

Elasticity of Demand = |%Change in Demand / %Change in Price|

%Change in Demand= |(40,000 - 50,000)/50,000| =  20%

%Change in Price = |(60 - 40)/40| = 50%

Elasticity of Demand = .2/.5 = .4 or 40%

.4 < 1 so Demand is Inelastic

Ticket prices to a Kanye West concert increase from $40 to $60. As a result, ticket sales decrease from 50,000 to 40,000. The elasticity of demand for Kanye West tickets equals .40 and demand is inelastic.

What makes a product inelastic?

The term "inelastic" refers to the static quantity of an item or service while its price fluctuates. Inelastic demand suggests that as prices rise, customers' purchasing habits remain relatively unchanged, and when prices fall, consumers' purchasing habits likewise remain relatively unchanged.

Given

Old Price =$40

New Price = $60

Old Quantity =50,000

New Quantity = 40,000

Required to calculate the elasticity of demand =?

the elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity divide % change in price

% change in Quantity = 50000 - 40000 / 50,0000 = 20%

% change in price = 40 - 60 / 40 = 50%

the elasticity of demand = 20 / 50 = 0.40

The percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price yields the price elasticity of demand. The demand is deemed elastic if the quotient is larger than or equal to one. Demand is termed inelastic if the value is less than one. The elasticity of demand for Kanye West tickets equals .40 and demand is inelastic.

Answers

Answer:

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

Explanation:

The labour cost variance is the difference between the standard labour cost allowed for the actual hours worked and the actual labor cost for the same hours

The labour cost variance compares the actual cost  and the standard cost for the actual labour hours paid for.

Hence , Poseidon Marine Stores Company would have paid a sum for labour cost which is lower than the standard cost.

The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.

B. $32,000
C. $30,250
D. $47,200

Answers

Answer:

Total cash collection= $30,250

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash sales are 25 percent of total sales each month.

Sales on account:

50 percent in the month of the sale

30 percent in the month after the sale

20 percent two months after the sale.

Sales:

January $20,000

February $10,000

March $40,000

We need to calculate the cash collection for March:

Sales on cash March= 40,000*0.25= 10,000

Sales on account March= (40,000*0.75)*0.5= 15,000

Sales on account February= (10,000*0.75)*0.3= 2,250

Sales on account January= (20,000*0.75)*0.2= 3,000

Total cash collection= $30,250

3. There a number of market entry strategies that businesses use in entering into markets outside their countries. a) Distinguish between the use of Franchising and Joint Venture as modes of entry into other countries by global businesses. b) What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of both strategies?

Answers

Answer:

a) Distinguish between the use of Franchising and Joint Venture as modes of entry into other countries by global businesses.

Franchising consists in the licensing of aspects of production and intellectual property to a another party: the franchise.

A Joint Venture is a business union between two or more parties, in which they split profit as well as costs and responsabilities.

b) What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of both strategies?

Franchising can be a quicker way to expand into foreign markets. The flexibility of the method, and the lower capital requirements are the reason why. This can be seen in the success that American fast-food brands have had using this method to expand in global markets.

A Joint-Venture can be more difficult to use for market expansion, however, it can be more profitable, because the profit will not be split among as many parties as in franchising, and more importantly, the firm maintains a higher control of the operation.

A firm recently issued $1,000 par value, 15-year bonds with a coupon rate of 9%. Coupon interest payments will be paid semi-annually. The bonds sold at par value, but the firm paid flotation costs amounting to 5% of par value. The firm has a corporate tax rate of 21%. What is the firm's after-tax cost of debt for these bonds?

Answers

Answer:

The firm's after cost of debt is 7.48%

Explanation:

Floatation cost increases the cost because a diminished portion of the whole amount was received.

Given that;

r = 9%

t = 21%

f = 5%

After tax cost of debt = r ( 1 - t ) / ( 1 - f )

0.09 ( 1 - 0.21 ) / 1 - 0.05 )

= 0.0711 / 0.95

=0.0748421053

= 7.48%

Muckenthaler Company sells product 2005WSC for $30 per unit. The cost of one unit of 2005WSC is $27, and the replacement cost is $26. The estimated cost to dispose of a unit is $3, and the normal profit is 40% of selling price. At what amount per unit should product 2005WSC be reported, applying lower-of-cost-or-market

Answers

Answer:

The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.

Explanation:

The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.

Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:

Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27

Replacement cost (RC) = $26

NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15

Cost per unit = $27

Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.

Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27,  by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Book Value            Fair Value

Current assets                                     $ 28,700               $ 22,300

Property, plant, and equipment             47,800                 52,600

Other assets                                             3,500                    5,800

Current liabilities                                      15,100                  14,900

Long-term liabilities                                 29,000                21,400

The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:

Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.

Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of  net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.

For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:

Particular                                                  Fair Value ($)  

Current assets                                               22,300

Property, plant, and equipment                   52,600

Other assets                                                    5,800

Current liabilities                                          (14,900)

Long-term liabilities                                      (21,400)  

Fair value of net asset                                44,400    

Therefore, we have:

Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset =  $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900
