Answer:
a. 50%
Explanation:
Model P-4 requires 30 minutes of machine time.
A machine hour consists of 60 minutes
Calculating the machine time of Model P-4 in terms of percent of machine hour:
= (Model P-4 Machine time/Machine Hour)*100
= (30/60)*100
= 0.5 * 100
=50%
So, the percent of Model P-4 machine time in terms of a machine hour is 50%.
Easton Corporation is involved in the evaluation of a new computer-integrated manufacturing system. The system has a projected initial cost of $1,000,000. It has an expected life of six years, with no salvage value, and is expected to generate annual cost savings of $250,000. Based on Easton Corporation's analysis, the project has a net present value of $57,625.
1. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What discount rate did the company use to compute the net present value? Present value tables or a financial calculator are required.
a. 10 %
b. 11 %
c. 12 %
d. 13 %
2. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What is the project's profitability index?
a. 1.058
b. .058
c. .945
d. 1.000
3. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What is the project's internal rate of return? Present value tables or a financial calculator are required.
a. between 12.5 and 13.0 percent
b. between 11.0 and 11.5 percent
c. between 11.5 and 12.0 percent
d. between 13.0 and 13.5 percent
Answer and Explanation:
1. The discount rate is
If we go through the options
like we assume 10%
So, the net present value is
= ($250,000 × 4.3553) - $1,000,000
= $1,088,825 - $1,000,000
= $88,825
Now if the discount rate is 11%
So, the net present value os
= ($250,000 × 4.2305) - $1,000,000
= $1,057,625 - $1,000,000
= $57,625
So the net present value is $57,625
2. The profitability index is
= ($1,000,000 + $57,625) ÷ ($1,000,000)
= 1.058
3. The internal rate of return is
It is 12.98% that lies between 12.5% and 13%

You work for a mature company with a long history in the industry and have been given stock options. Which of the following are you most likely wanting to see happen with top line (revenue) and bottom line (net profit) growth rates?
A. Top line and bottom line holding steady without much variation.
B. Top line growing faster than bottom line.
C. Bottom line growing faster than top line.
D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Answer: D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the most likely thing will be for the top and bottom line growing at the same rate. This implies that both the revenue and the net profit grow at same rate.
It's vital for them to grow at a steady rate in order to ensure stability. The top line growing faster than bottom line or the bottom line growing faster than top line isn't good for the stock options.
Corporation was organized on January 1, 2021. The firm was authorized to issue 100,000 shares of $5 par common stock. During 2021, QWN had the following transactions relating to shareholders' equity:
Issued 10,400 shares of common stock at $5.80 per share.
Issued 19,600 shares of common stock at $9.30 per share.
Reported a net income of $106,000.
Paid dividends of $53,000.
Purchased 2,600 shares of treasury stock at $11.30 (part of the 19,600 shares issued at $9.30).
Required:
What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021?
Answer:
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Explanation:
Total stockholders' equity
10,400 x $5.80 = $60,320
19,600 x $9.30 = $182,280
Net income (retained earnigns) = $106,000
Paid cash dividends = -$53,000
Purhcase of treasury stocks = -2,600 x $11.30 = -$29,380
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.3 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. Whatare the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
$2,421,220
Explanation:
Calculation to determine incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine
First step is to calculate The cost of depreciation
Cost of depreciation= $10,4000,00 + $46,000/ 5
Cost of depreciation= $2,089,200
Now let calculate the Incremental free cash flows
Incremental free cash flows = ( $3.9 million - $1,300,000) * (1 - 0.35) + $2,089,200* 0.35
Incremental free cash flows = $1,690,000 + $731,220
Incremental free cash flows=$2,421,220
Therefore the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine is $2,421,220.
Why would a producer decide to produce in a competitive market in which she will earn zero profit in the long run? Choose one: A. Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost). B. Because the zero profit in the long run is, in fact, zero accounting profit, and it matters only in the books. C. Because in the short run, her profit is always positive. D. Because the producer has a high cost of exiting this market, and it is better for her to continue operating at zero profit.
Answer:
Option A : Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost).
Explanation:
Perfectly Competitive Market
This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.
Perfectly Competitive Industry
This is simply an industry where producers are said to be price takers.
Explicit Costs
These are costs that are simply known as "out-of-pocket" costs or in accounting costs. They are an individual's fixed and variable costs of doing business.
Implicit Costs
These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.
It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.
Your child is planning attend summer camp for 3 months, starting 12 months from now. The cost for camp is $2,676 per month, each month, for the 3 months she will attend. If your investments earn 2.3% APR (compounded monthly), how much must you invest each month, starting next month, for 3 months such that your investment will grow to just cover the cost of the camp
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $2,625.16
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total cost= 2,676*3= $8,028
Monthly interest rate0 0.023/12= 0.00192
First, we need to calculate the nominal value required at the end of the third month:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
FV= 8,028
i= 0.00192
n= 9 months
PV= 8,028 / (1.00192^9)
PV= $7,890.6
Now, the monthly investment to reach $7,890.6:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (7,890.6*0.00192) / [(1.00192^3) - 1]
A= $2,625.16

Schnusenberg Corporation just paid a dividend of D0 = $0.75 per share, and that dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50% per year in the future. The company's beta is 0.75, the required return on the market is 10.50%, and the risk-free rate is 4.50%. What is the company's current stock price? Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $27.80 b. $33.23 c. $31.63 d. $28.76 e. $31.95
Answer:
Option E is correct
Price of share = $31.95
Explanation:
The price of the share is the future dividend discounted at the required rate of return .
The required rate of return is the cost of equity . The cost of equity is computed as follows:
Cost of equity = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf= 4.50, Rm= 10.50, β= 0,75
Ke= 4.50% + 0.75×(10.50-4.50)
Ke= 9%
Price of share = Do×(1+g)/(Ke-g)
Price of the share = 0.75 × (1.065)/(0.09-0.065)
= 31.95
Price of share = $31.95
Everything else held constant, in the market for reserves, when the federal funds rate is 2%, lowering the interest rate paid on excess reserves rate from 1% to 0.5% has no effect on the federal funds rate. has an indeterminate effect on the federal funds rate. lowers the federal funds rate. raises the federal funds rate.
Answer: lowers the federal funds rate.
Explanation:
The federal funds rate is the rate at which banks lend money to their selves overnight to ensure that they meet lending and reserve requirements.
The interest rate paid on excess reserves rate is the amount of interest that the Fed pays banks to keep excess reserves. If this rate was to decrease, banks would have less incentive to keep excess reserves at the Fed and so would have more money to meet lending and reserve requirements such that they won't need to borrow from other banks as much which would then lead to the federal funds rate decreasing due to less demand.
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 179,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 137,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $93 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 21,000 tires for $76.85 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.
b. Determine whether the company should reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors

The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet. The argument above is flawed because it confuses:_________
Answer:
The argument is confusing an average for the individuals who make up that average.
Explanation:
The argument assumes that the height of all members of the team is above 6 ft. this is flawed because it assumes that the average height is equal to the height of the members of the team
for example, there are two members in the team
assume that the height of each member is 6 ft 3 inches. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches
Assume that the height of one member is 10.6 in and jerry's height is 2.0. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches. Here Jerry's height is less than 6ft
Selected financial information for ELX Corporation is reproduced below: 1. Net operating assets (NOA) turnover (average NOA equals ending NOA) is 4. 2. Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) margin is 6% 3. Leverage ratio (average net financial obligation to average common equity) is 2.5, and the spread is 7.3%. What is ELX's return on common equity
Answer:
the Return on common equity is 43.45%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on common equity is shown below;
As we know that
Return on common equity = Return on net operating assets + leverage × spread
= (4.2 × 6%) + 2.5 × 7.3%
= 25.2% + 18.25%
= 43.45%
Hence, the Return on common equity is 43.45%

Qu. 10-150 (Algo) Majer Corporation makes a product with ... Majer Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6.4 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce $ 12.80 Direct labor 0.5 hours $ 15.00 per hour $ 7.50 Variable overhead 0.5 hours $ 2.00 per hour $ 1.00 The company reported the following results concerning this product in February. Originally budgeted output 5,100 units Actual output 6,000 units Raw materials used in production 33,400 ounces Actual direct labor-hours 1,860 hours Purchases of raw materials 35,800 ounces Actual price of raw materials $ 47.10 per ounce Actual direct labor rate $ 37.60 per hour Actual variable overhead rate $ 5.60 per hour The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The materials quantity variance for February is:
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $10,000 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Direct materials 6.4 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce.
Actual output 6,000 units
Raw materials used in production 33,400 ounces
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6.4*6,000 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= (38,400 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= $10,000 favorable
Concord Corporation manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $181. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $125 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
a. Income would increase by $23000.
b. Income would increase by $125000.
c. Income would decrease by $23000.
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Answer:
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Explanation:
Concord Corporation received a special order to sell 1,000 units at $125 each.
Incremental Sales Revenue = 1,000 * $125
Incremental Sales Revenue = $125,000
Variable Cost per unit = $100
Fixed manufacturing cost = $480,000
To produce required additional units, there will be no change in fixed manufacturing costs. So, cost to produce additional units will change on account of variable manufacturing cost only.
Incremental Cost = $100 * 1,000
Incremental Cost = $100,000
Incremental Net Income = Incremental Sales Revenue - Incremental Cost
Incremental Net Income = $125,000 - $100,000
Incremental Net Income = $25,000

Normally you will see US Labor Productivity Increasing at an annual rate of around 6%. In reading the book you should see that it must continue to increase for our country to continue to have the standard of living that we do. What seemed odd to me was that in the 3rd Quarter of 2009, while our country is in the midst of a very deep recession, this number went to 14.8%. In the 4th Quarter it dropped to 6.4% and in the 1st Quarter of this year it was at 2.5%. Why the Big Spike in the 3rd Quarter of 2009
Answer: c) Employees are fearful of losing their jobs, so they are working harder and complaining less.
Explanation:
Research has shown that during periods of recession, people tend to work harder than they do before the recession which has the effect of boosting productivity levels during that period.
The simply reason for this is, fear. In a recession, businesses come under a lot of pressure to reduce their workforce in order to save costs which leads to a rise in unemployment. Workers that are laid off are usually the unproductive ones so workers begin to put in more work during this time so that they do not get laid off.
