Answer:
7,691 stocks
Explanation:
total market value = $584,000
total outstanding stocks = 22,800
price per stock = $584,000 / 22,800 = $25.614 per stock
management can repurchase $197,000 / $25.614 per stock = 7,691.1 = 7,691 stocks
stocks outstanding after repurchase = 22,800 - 7,691 = 15,109 stocks
Beverages manufactures its own . The bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a lightweight yet strong plastic. uses as much PET recycled resin pellets in its bottles as it can, both because using recycled PET helps to meet its sustainability goals and because recycled PET is less expensive than virgin PET.
Riley is continuing to search for ways to reduce its costs and its impact on the environment. PET plastic is melted and blown over soda bottle molds to produce the bottles. One idea Riley's engineers have suggested is to retrofit the soda bottle molds and change the plastic formulation slightly so that 25 % less PET plastic is used for each bottle. The average kilograms of PET per soda bottle before any redesign is 0.004 kg. The cost of retrofitting the soda bottle molds will result in a one-time charge of $22,112, while the plastic reformulation will cause the average cost per kilogram of PET plastic to change from $3.00 to $3.30.
Required:
a. Using the original data (before any redesign of soda bottles ), prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total.
b. Assume that the company retrofits the soda bottle molds and changes the plastic formulation slightly so that less PET plastic is used in each bottle. Now prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total for this possible scenario.
c. Compare the cost of PET plastic for Requirement 1 (original data) and for Requirement 2 (making change to using less PET.) What is the direct material cost savings from making the change to using less PET?
Answer:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough space here.
C) total savings = previous materials costs - total cost per year after retrofitting - cost of retrofitting the molding machine = $137,105.10 - $102,168.00 - $22,112 = $12,825.10
You buy a stock for $55 today, and sell the stock one year later for $54, during which time a $2 dividend is paid. What is your return on this stock
Answer:
1.82%
Explanation:
Calculation for the return on the stock
Using this formula
Return=(Sales of stock - Stock bought today+Dividend)/Sales of stock
Let plug in the formula
Return = (54 - 55 + 2)/55
Return =1/55
Return = 0.0182×100
Return=1.82%
Therefore the return on the stock will be 1.82%
Calculate the monthly implicit costs for a business owner who devotes 200 hours per month to his business that could be spent working at $50/hour for someone else.
Answer:
Implicit cost = $10,000
Explanation:
Implicit cost is the opportunity cost of using resources a business already owns.
This business owner passes this income by being in a business for himself
200 hours per month multiplied by $50/hour
200 x 50
= 10000
Implicit cost = $10,000

a. Even cash flows of $750,000 per year or
b. The following expected annual cash flows: $450,000, $225,000, $600,000, $600,000, and $150,000.
Required:
Calculate the payback period for each case
Answer:
Payback period=2 years 5 months
Payback period=3 years 8 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes .
It is the number of years it takes the cash project to break-even
a) Payback period
Total cash flow for two years = 750× 2 = 1500.000
Balance of cash flow required to make up= 1800000- 1500,000 300,000
Payback period = 2 years + 300,000/750,000× 12 months= 2 years 5 months
Payback period=2 years 5 months
b) Payback period
Total cash flow for 3 years = 450,000 + $225,000 +600,000=1,275 ,000
Balance o cash required to make up 1800,000 = 1,800,000 -1275,000= 525,000
Pay back period = 3 years + 525,000/750,000× 12 months
= 3 years 8 months
Payback period=3 years 8 months
On January 1, the listed spot and futures prices of a Treasury bond were 95.4 and 95.6. You sold $100,000 par value Treasury bonds and purchased one Treasury bond futures contract. One month later, the listed spot price and futures prices were 95 and 94.4, respectively. If you were to liquidate your position, your profits would be a Group of answer choices $125 profit. $1,060.50 loss. None of the options are correct. $125 loss. $1,062.50 profit.
Answer:
None of the options are correct.
Explanation:
We start by calculating the net change of the treasury bond position.
= $95,125 - $95,000
= $125
The long treasury bond position gains $125 after a month.
We will also calculate the net change of the treasury bond futures contract.
= $94,125 - $95,187.50
= -$1,062.50
Therefore, Net profits is;
= $125 - $1,062.50
= -$937.50

Per Twitter’s amended S-1 filing, what are the maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013? Please provide your answer in millions without comma separator or decimal.
Answer:
Twitter's amended S-1 filing
Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:
= $98 million
Explanation:
Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.
The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000
The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $185,574,000
The capital expenditure in 2013 = $98,450,000
The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.
Twitter filed SEC Form 1-A (S-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when it was seeking exemption for registration requirements for its public offerings as an "emerging growth company," as it is "allowed by the federal securities laws to elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings."
You are calculating the performance of your project. If the actual cost is $80,000, the planned value is $70,000 and the earned value is $65,000, what is the cost performance index?
Answer:
Cost performance index is 81.25%
Explanation:
Actual cost = $80,000
Planned value = $70,000
Earned value = $65,000
Cost performance index (CPI) is the ratio of earned value to actual cost and can be used to estimate the projected cost of completing the project.
CPI = EV / AC
= $65,000 / $80,000
= 0.8125
= 0.8125 x 100
= 81.25%

1 0.9091 0.9091
2 0.8264 1.7355
3 0.7513 2.4869
4 0.6830 3.1699
a. $(27,665).
b. $(14,857).
c. $27,665.
d. $35,709.
Answer:
1. $18620
2. $35709
Explanation:
1.we are required to find incremental loss.
= Defect(market price - price per unit - correction per unit)
Defect product = 900
Market price = 20.8
Price for each defect unit = 4.9
Price for defect correction = 6.1
1900(20.8-4.9-6.1)
= $18600
2. Present value of cash flow =
40500*0.9091 = 36818.55
40500*0.8264 = 33469.2
35500*0.7513 = 26671.15
35500*0.683 = 24246.5
Total = 121209
We subtract cost of new equipment from this value
121209-85500
= $35709

Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a % weight in equity, % in preferred stock, and % in debt. The cost of equity capital is %, the cost of preferred stock is %, and the pretax cost of debt is %. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is %?
Complete Question:
Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?
Answer:
7.96%
Explanation:
We can calculate WACC using the formula:
WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100% +
After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100% +
Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%
Here,
Cost of equity is 17%
Cost of preferred stock is 11%
Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost * (1 - Tax rate)
This implies,
Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) = 5.4%
Equity weight is 10% weight in equity
Preferred stock weight is 25%
Debt Weight is 65%
By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:
WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%) + 11% * (25% / 100%) + 5.4% * (65% / 100%)
WACC = 1.7% + 2.75% + 3.51%
WACC = 7.96%
In the basic EOQ model, an annual demand of 40 units, an ordering cost of $5, and a holding cost of $1 per unit per year will result in an EOQ of:
Answer:
20

The formula for Economic order quantity ( EOQ ) = √2DS/H,
Where,
D annual demand = 40 units
S Ordering cost = $5
H Holding cost = $1
Hence ,
EOQ = √ 2 × 40 units × $5 / 1$
= √ $400 / $1
= 20
On July 9, Mifflin Company receives an $8,500, 90-day, 8% note from customer Payton Summers as payment on account. Compute the amount due at maturity for the note and interest. (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
$8,670 and $170
Explanation:
The computation of the amount due at the time of maturity and the interest is shown below:
For interest, it is
= Received amount × rate of interest × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year
= $8,500 × 8% × 90 ÷ 360 days
= $170
And, the amount due at the time of maturity of the note is
= Received amount + interest
= $8,500 + $170
= $8,670
Mason Corporation had $1,150,000 in invested assets, sales of $1,228,000, income from operations amounting to $226,000, and a desired minimum rate of return of 12%. Round your answer to two decimal places. The investment turnover for Mason Corporation is a.0.85 b.1.07 c.1.28 d.1.60
Answer:
b.1.07
Explanation:
Investment turnover ratio determines the times when the portfolio of investment is sold during a particular period of time e.g Monthly, Annually, etc. The higher turnover results in more commission earned by the broker who is selling the portfolio.
Investment Turnover = Sales / Invested Assets
Investment Turnover = $1,228,000, / $1,150,000
Investment Turnover = 1.067826
Investment Turnover = 1.07 ( Rounded off to 2 decimals places )
balance sheet reports assets of $6900000 and liabilities of $2700000. All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?
Answer: $2,420,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.
Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets
Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities
= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000
= $4,610,000
Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000
= $2,420,000

During the current year, Chudrick Corporation expects to produce 10,000 units and has budgeted the following: net income $300,000, variable costs $1,100,000, and fixed costs $100,000. It has invested assets of $1,500,000. The company’s budgeted ROI was 20%. What was its budgeted markup percentage using a full-cost approach?
Answer:
25%
Explanation:
For the computation of budgeted markup percentage using a full-cost approach first we need to find out the profit expected and total cost which is shown below:-
Profit Expected = $1,500,000 × 20%
= $300,000
Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
= $1,100,000 + $100,000
= $12,00,000
Budgeted Markup Percentage = Profit ÷ Total Cost
= $300,000 ÷ $12,00,000
= 25%
Suppose that a museum of modern art discovers the following: adults are willing to pay $20 per ticket to see a Monet exhibit. Students are willing to pay less; 60% of students have WTP of $15, and 40% are willing to pay up to $10. There are no marginal costs to allowing more viewers into the museum. The museum manager decides to set the regular price at $20, and offer a student discount. What discount should it offer?
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
From the question we have here
If adults would pay 20$
Out of a 100% students:
60% would pay 15
40% would pay 10
If regular price = 20$
We are required to find discount
Discount = (20 - 10)/20 x 100
Discount = 0.5 x 100
Discount = 50%
The museum should offer 50percent discount.

The Watts Company uses predetermined overhead rates to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on labor cost in Dept. A and on machine-hours in Dept. B. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Department A Department B
Direct labour cost $30,000 $40,000
Manufacturing overhead $60,000 $50,000
Direct labour hours 6,000 8,000
Machine hours 2,000 10,000
What predetermined overhead rates would be used in Departments A and B, respectively?
a. 50% and $8.00.
b. 50% and $5.00.
c. 110% and $15.00.
d. 200% and $5.00.
Answer:
The Watts Company
d. 200% and $5.00.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimates:
Department A Department B
Direct labour cost $30,000 $40,000
Manufacturing overhead $60,000 LH $50,000 MH
Direct labour hours 6,000 8,000
Machine hours 2,000 10,000
Department A:
Manufacturing overhead rate = $60,000/$30,000 x 100 = 200%
Department B:
Manufacturing overhead rate = $50,000/10,000 = $5.00
The Watts Company Department A will absorb manufacturing overhead at a rate of 200% of direct labor cost in order to arrive at an estimate of $60,000 ($30,000 x 200%). The Department B will absorb manufacturing overhead at a rate of $5 per machine hour to arrive at an estimate of $50,000 (10,000 x $5).
Suppose the exchange rate is 90 yen per U.S. dollar and the United States wants to keep the exchange rate at a target rate of 90 yen per U.S. dollar. If the demand for U.S. dollars decrease, the Fed ______
A. buys dollars to raise the exchange rate
B. sells dollars to raise the exchange rate
C. sells dollars to lower the exchange rate
D. buys dollars to lower the exchange rate
Answer:
Option A, buys dollars to raise the exchange rate, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option A is correct because when the Fed will buy the dollars then only the demand for dollars will shift rightwards. Consequently, the dollar price or exchange rate will go up. Therefore, the Fed will buy the dollars to increase the exchange rate. In another case, if the Fed wants to decrease the exchange rate then it will sell the dollars, and selling of dollars will shift the supply rightwards. Thus, the exchange rate will fall.
The value of the currency of a country as contrasted to the other country or the economic region is called an exchange rate.
The correct answer is:
Option A. buys dollars to raise the exchange rate.
This can be explained as:
When Fed will purchase a dollar then, there will be shifts towards the right.The transfer rate or the dollar price will rise.So to enhance the economic measure dollar should be purchased.To reduce the exchange rate dollar should be sold.Therefore, Fed should buy dollars.

Assuming Digby’s current market share for its Drat product remains the same, how many units of Drat should Digby expect to sell in the primary segment for the upcoming year?
Available Options Are:
A. 401 units
B. 294 units
C. 441 units
D. 305 units
Answer:
Option C. 441 Units
Explanation:
The first thing would be to analyze the situation. It is crystal clear in the Accessibility Elite table that the accessibility of Digby products are 2nd largest among the rival companies.
Now we will look at whether the company has taken advantage of its second largest accessibility position or not. This can be seen in Actual Vs Potential Market Share table. The units produced were sold in the year which means that the accessibility of the product is even more than its rivals as the market share captured in the year by Digby is above 40%.

g Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?
Answer:
$360,000
Explanation:
The total cost would be estimated as the expense anticipated plus the property taxes paid previously.
Now
Total Cost = $240,000 Property Taxes paid + $1,200,000 Property repairs anticipated
= $1,440,000
Now we will distribute the annual cost over the four quarters which mean we will divide the total annual cost by 4.
Quarterly Expenses = $1,440,000 / 4 = $360,000
