The management of Heider Corporation is considering dropping product J14V. Data from the company's accounting system appear below:
Sales: $980,000
Variable expenses: $394,000
Fixed manufacturing expenses: $376,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses : $256,000
In the company's accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $245,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $206,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product J14V is discontinued. What would be the effect on the company's overall net operating income if product J14V were dropped?
Answer:
financial disadvantage of dropping product J14V = $135,000, so net operating income would decrease by that amount
Explanation:
net loss generated by product J14V = $980,000 - $394,000 - $376,000 - $256,000 = ($46,000)
unavoidable fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing expenses = $376,000 - $245,000 = $131,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $256,000 - $206,000 = $50,000
total unavoidable fixed costs = $181,000
the overall effect = total unavoidable fixed costs - net loss = $181,000 - (-$46,000) = $135,000 financial disadvantage since unavoidable costs are higher than current losses
Selected current year company information follows: Net income $ 17,753 Net sales 730,855 Total liabilities, beginning-year 101,932 Total liabilities, end-of-year 121,201 Total stockholders' equity, beginning-year 216,935 Total stockholders' equity, end-of-year 148,851 The return on total assets is
Answer:
6.03%
Explanation:
Calculation for the return on total assets
First step will be to find the assets at the beginning using this formula
Beginning year Assets =Beginning Total liabilities + Beginning Stockholders' equity
Let plug in the formula
Beginning year Assets=$101,932 + $216,935
Beginning year Assets=$318,867
Second step is to find the end of the year asset using this formula
End of the year assets = Ending Total liabilities + Ending Stockholders' equity
Let plug in the formula
End of the year assets=$121,201 + $148,851
End of the year assets = $270,052
Last step is to calculate for the return on total assets using this formula
Return on total assets = Net income/Average of total assets,
Let find the Total asset averages
Using this formula
Total asset averages=(Beginning year Assets+End of the year assets)/2
Let plug in the formula
Total asset averages($318,867 + $270,052)/2 Total asset averages=$588,919/2
Total asset averages= $294,459.50
Hence,
Return on total assets = Net income/Average of total assets
Return on total assets=$ 17,753/294,459.50
Return on total assets=0.0603
Return on total assets=6.03%
Therefore the return on total assets will be 6.03%

A company purchased equipment and signed a 6-year installment loan at 8% annual interest. The annual payments equal $9,400. The present value of an annuity factor for 6 years at 8% is 4.6229. The present value of a single sum factor for 6 years at 8% is .6302. The present value of the loan is:_________.
a. $9,400.
b. $5,924.
c. $14,916.
d. $56,400.
e. $43,455.
Answer: e. $43,455
Explanation:
Annual payments are constant so this is an annuity. To calculate the present value of an annuity, multiply the annity by the present value of an annuity factor corresponding with its discount rate and number of periods.
Present value of loan = 9,400 * present value of an annuity factor, 6 years, 8%
= 9,400 * 4.6229
= $43,455.26
= $43,455
How much would Israel’s nominal GDP growth be next year if it experienced real GDP growth next year the same as its average over the past 50 years, with an inflation rate of 3% and population growth of 1%?
Please find part of questiom attached Answer:
6.25%
Explanation:
If inflation rate is 3%
And real GDP growth rate is 3.25 from question attachment
Nominal GDP growth rate which adds up inflation and output
=real GDP rate +inflation rate +population growth
=3.25%+3%
=6.25%
Therefore nominal GDP growth rate is 6.25%
This is because nominal GDP adds up the monetary value of all goods for the current year at current prices of all output and does not remove inflation like real GDP does. Also Population of 1% is already used in calculating real GDP so no need to add it nominal GDP calculation here

A project that costs $23,500 today will generate cash flows of $9,300 per year for seven years. What is the project's payback period?
Answer:
It will take 3 years and 192 days to cover for the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $23,500
Cash fow= $9,300
Time period= 7 years
The payback period is the time required to cover for the initial investment.

Year 2= 9,300 - 14,200= - 4,900
Year 3= 9,300 - 4,900= 4,400
To be more accurate:
(4,900/9,300)*365= 192
It will take 3 years and 192 days to cover for the initial investment.
A 20-year maturity bond with par value of $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments at a coupon rate of 8%. Find the bond equivalent and effective annual yield to maturity of the bondif the bond price is:a. $950b. $1,000c. $1,050
Answer:
a. $950
yield to maturity = YTM = {40 + [(1,000 - 950)/40]} / [(1,000 + 950)/2] = 41.25 / 975 = 4.23% x 2 = 8.46%
effective yield = [1 + (r/n)]ⁿ - 1 = [1 + (0.08/2)]² - 1 = 8.16%, measures the coupon yield
since the effective yield is lower than the YTM, the bond is sold at a discount
b. $1,000
YTM = 8%, since the bond is sold at par
effective yield = [1 + (r/n)]ⁿ - 1 = [1 + (0.08/2)]² - 1 = 8.16%, measures the coupon yield
since the bond yield semiannual coupons, the effective yield is slightly higher than the YTM
c. $1,050
yield to maturity = YTM = {40 + [(1,000 - 1,050)/40]} / [(1,000 + 1,050)/2] = 38.75 / 1,025 = 3.78% x 2 = 7.56%
effective yield = [1 + (r/n)]ⁿ - 1 = [1 + (0.08/2)]² - 1 = 8.16%, measures the coupon yield
since the effective yield is higher than the YTM, the bond is sold at a premium

"PDQ Corporation has declared a rights offering to stockholders of record. The company has 5,000,000 shares outstanding and is selling an additional 1,000,000 shares via the rights offer. Which statements are TRUE regarding a customer who owns 500 shares of PDQ stock?"
Answer: C. II and III
Explanation:
There are 5,000,000 shares of PDQ Corporation as of when they declared the rights offering. This means that every share will get a right to buy stock.
However, as only 1,000,000 shares are being offered per the 5,000,000 shares outstanding it means that one stock may be purchased for every 5 rights.
A customer who owns 500 shares will therefore get 500 rights.
However with one stock up for sale per 5 rights they will receive the opportunity to buy;
= 500/5
= 100 shares

= $1200 - $800
= $400
The Loss for the buyer: [tex]\frac{\text{profit for the seller}}{\text{writer}}[/tex]
Hence profit for the writer = $400
The net income available to stockholders is $230,000. The beginning number of common shares outstanding was 100,000. The ending number of common shares outstanding was 150,000. What is the earnings per share
Answer:
$1.84
Explanation:
The formula for earning per share (EPS) is given as;
= Net income of the company / Average outstanding shares of the company
Given that ;
Net income = $230,000
Average outstanding shares = (100,000 + 150,000) / 2

g Discuss the benefits and pitfalls of using social media within businesses and if you think it is ethical for business to fire employees for personal use of social media. How can you monitor and control your own social media activities to prevent such a professional conflict
Explanation:
The use of social media within companies can generate some essential benefits for organizations, if social media are used in a professional way to promote business, they can generate greater interaction and relationship building with the potential audience that helps a lot in increasing the value and positioning of a company in the market.
However, the personal use of social media in the workplace, can generate significant conflicts, such as idleness, loss of productivity, delay in the delivery of tasks, etc.
When judging whether it is ethical or not for companies to fire employees for personal use of social media, the set of company policies should be considered, if there is a well-established rule about banning the use of social media during working hours and the employee does not comply after being warned, then the dismissal was not carried out unethically.
Therefore, the ideal is that the personal use of social media should be carried out only during free time if allowed, and always complying with the set of policies and procedures of each company.
