Even though Firm A's current ratio exceeds that of Firm B, Firm B's quick ratio might exceed that of A. However, if A's quick ratio exceeds B's, then we can be certain that A's current ratio is also larger than that of B. True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
If Firm A's current ratio exceeds that of Firm B, it is still possible that B's quick ratio is larger than A's. If A's quick ratio is larger than B's however, then there is still a possibility that B's current ratio can be larger than A's.
The current ratio is the Current Assets divided by Current liabilities. The Quick ratio is Current Assets less inventory divided by Current liabilities.
B's current ratio can therefor be larger than A's if it has more inventory than A such that when we calculate the current ratio of B, the extra inventory would give it a higher current ratio than A.
You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $24. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.32 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $27. The stock's beta is 0.6, rf is 10%, and E[rm] = 20%. What is the stock's abnormal return?
Answer:
2%
Explanation:
Actual return = [(Dividend + Capital gain) / Purchase price] * 100
= [($1.32 + $27 - $24) / $24] * 100
= 18%
Expected return = rf + Beta*(E(rm) - rf)
= 10% + 0.6*(20% - 10%)
= 16%
Abnormal return = Actual return - Expected return
Abnormal return = 18% - 16%
Abnormal return = 2%
INVENTORY METHODS: Co. F has the following units of beginning inventory and purchases for the year: beginning inventory 100 units at $40 each, a 2/28 Purchase 200 units at $50 each and a 6/15 purchase of 200 units at $60 each and a 12/15 purchase of 100 units at $80 each. Using the FIFO method, if the ending inventory is 400 units, what is the cost of the ending inventory
Answer: Cost of closing inventory =$25,000
Explanation:
Using the FIFO which is the First In First Out method, The inventorY purchased first be sold first with the the ending inventory consisting of the most recent purchases.
Given nthta ending inventory is 400 units, we start fro the most recent purchase
12/15 purchase of 100 units at $80 each=$8,000
6/15 purchase of 200 units at $60 each=$12,000
we are left with 100 units so
2/28 Purchase 100 units at $50 each =$5000
Cost of closing inventory =$8,000+$12,000+$5000= $25,000
Therefore cost of 400 units using the FIFO Method is $25,000.
Our company makes and sells a single product at the selling price of $97 per unit. In January, we upgraded our manufacturing facility to increase capacity and reduce variable costs per unit (this significantly increased our fixed manufacturing costs). We now have the capacity to make 1,000 units per month. Over the next three months, we expect our production and sales to average 700 units per month. We recently received a take-it-or-leave-it offer for 100 units from a one-time customer. The customer offers to pay us $65 per unit. To help us evaluate this offer, our accounting staff provided the following information (identical for our regular sales and the special order): our normal absorption manufacturing cost per unit equals $50, and our variable selling cost per unit equals $15. Which of the following is correct?
a. We should reject the offer because the offered price is much lower than the normal selling price
b. We should accept the offer because it would reduce our excess capacity cost
c. We should reject the offer because it would reduce our ROI
d. We should accept the offer because it would increase our net operating income
e. Quantitatively, we are indifferent between accepting and rejecting the offer
Answer:
d. We should accept the offer because it would increase our net operating income
Explanation:
A differential analysis only includes relevant costs. This means that only costs that are affected by the special order are considered. In this case, variable costs are the only relevant costs, since fixed costs will occur regardless of the acceptance or rejection of the special order. This special order will increase the company's operating profits by ($65 - $15) x 100 = $5,000

Given an actual demand this period of 61, a forecast for this period of 58, and an alpha of 0.3, what would the forecast for the next period be using exponential smoothing
Answer:
58.9
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what would the forecast for the next period be using exponential smoothing
Next period forecast= [ (1 - Alpha) × Current forecast]+Alpha*Actual demand
Let plug in the formula
Next period forecast= [ ( 1 - 0.3 ) × 58] +0.3*61
Next period forecast=40.6+18.3
Next period forecast=58.9
Therefore what would the forecast for the next period be using exponential smoothing is 58.9

Current information for the Stellar Corporation follows: Beginning work in process inventory $ 17,900 Ending work in process inventory 19,300 Direct materials used 147,000 Direct labor used 85,000 Total factory overhead 63,100 Stellar Corporation's cost of goods manufactured for the year is:
Answer:
The right answer is "$293700".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Direct material,
= $147000
Direct labor,
= $85000
Total factory overhead,
= $63100
Beginning work,
= $17900
Ending work,
= $19300

The total manufacturing cost will be:
= [tex]Direct \ material +Direct \ labor+Total \ factory \ overhead[/tex]
= [tex]147000+85000+63100[/tex]
= [tex]295100[/tex] ($)
hence,
The costs of goods manufactured will be:
= [tex]Manufacturing \ cost+Beginning \ work-Ending \ work[/tex]
= [tex]295100+17900-19300[/tex]
= [tex]313000-19300[/tex]

Bonita Company had the following department information about physical units and percentage of completion: Physical Units Work in process, May 1 (60%) 59100 Completed and transferred out 179500 Work in process, May 31 (40%) 49800 If all materials are added at the beginning of the production process, what is the total number of equivalent units for materials during May?
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 229,300
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Physical Units Work in process, May 1 (60%) 59100
Completed and transferred out 179500
Work in process, May 31 (40%) 49800
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to use the following formula:
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 179,500 + 49,800*1
Equivalent units of production= 229,300
Because the direct material is added at the beginning of the process, the %of completion is 100%.

Discuss how a change in a product design could produce a change in the design of a planning and control system.
Product design is cross-functional, knowledge-intensive work that has become increasingly important in today's fast-paced, globally competitive environment. It is a key strategic activity in many firms because new products contribute significantly to sales revenue. When firms are able to develop distinctive products, they have opportunities to command premium pricing. Product design is a critical factor in organizational success because it sets the characteristics, features, and performance of the service or good that consumers demand. The objective of product design is to create a good or service with excellent functional utility and sales appeal at an acceptable cost and within a reasonable time. The product should be produced using high-quality, low-cost materials and methods. It should be produced on equipment that is or will be available when production begins. The resulting product should be competitive with or better than similar products on the market in terms of quality, appearance, performance, service life, and price.
Applications that integrate business activities across departmental boundaries are often referred to as _____________ planning systems.
Answer:
Enterprise resource.
Explanation:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a business strategy process where organizations manage and integrate the main parts of their day-to-day business activities by using software applications.
The ERP software system is used to integrate planning, accounting, finance, marketing and human resources.
For instance, when an organization is replacing a payroll program that it developed in house, with the relevant subsystem of a commercial Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, It should be noted that a faulty migration of historical data from the old system to the new system represent the highest potential risk because you won't be able to measure and analyze performance.
Hence, software applications or programs that integrate all business activities across departmental boundaries such as marketing, procurement, customer relationship, sales, etc., are often referred to as enterprise resource planning systems.

g A monopolist maximizes profits by finding Group of answer choices the rate of output where price equals marginal cost. the rate of output where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. the rate of output where marginal revenue equals marginal product. the price where price exceeds marginal revenue by that largest amount. the price where average revenue and marginal cost are equal.
Answer:
the rate of output where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.
Additionally, a monopolist refer to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.
A monopolist maximizes profits by finding the rate of output or quantity where marginal revenue (MR) equals marginal cost (MC) and the intersection of these two (2) points determines the equilibrium of a business firm.
Marginal revenue can be defined as the additional amount of money that is gained or generated by a business firm from the sales of an additional unit of a product or service.
Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.
Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.

tylor is considering a five-year project that will require $859,000 for new fixed assets that will be deprecieated what is the amount of the aftertax salvage value
Answer:
$120,603.60
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
But before that the following calculations to be done
Salvage Value = Cost of Asset × 18%
= $859,000 × 18%
= $154,620
Since the fixed asset depreciated to zero for the 5 years so the book value should also be zero
Now
Capital Gain = Salvage Value - Book value of Asset
= $154,620 - $0
= $154,620
Tax on Capital Gain = Capital Gain × Tax Rate
= $154,620 × 0.22
= $34,016.4
And finally,
After Tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value - Tax on Capital Gains
= $154,620 - $34,016.40
= $120,603.60
