Hampton Inn hotel uses an average of 600 sheets during reorder time (from placing order to arrival). This demand is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 35 sheets. The hotel expects a 97% service level to satisfy high quality standards. What is the safety stock required

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

safety stock = 76 units

Explanation:

z-score for 97% = 2.17009

standard deviation of lead time = 35/600 = 5.83%

average demand during lead time = 600 sheets

safety stock = Z-score x standard deviation of lead time x average demand during lead time

safety stock = 2.17009 x 0.058333 x 600 = 75.95 units ≈ 76 units

Safety stock refers to the number of extra units that a company needs to have in inventory in order to avoid stockouts.

Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. The combined cost of one advance ticket and one same-day ticket is $60. For one performance, 40 advance tickets and 30 same-day tickets were sold. The total amount paid for the tickets was $2200. What was the price of each kind of ticket?

Answers

Answer: price of advance ticket = $40

and price of same day ticket= $20

Explanation:

let one advance ticket be x

let one same day ticket be y

The combined cost of one advance ticket and one same-day ticket is $60

so we have that

x + y = $60

For one performance, 40 advance tickets and 30 same-day tickets were sold of which the tota;l amount was $2,200

40x +30y= 2220

we have

x + y = $60... eqn 1

40x +30y= 2220... eqn 2

by substitution,

x+y = 60

y = 60-x

putting the value of y in equation 2

40x  + 30(60-x) =2200

40x + 1800-30x=2200

40x-30x= 2200-1800

10x=400

x = 400/10 = 40

to get y

x+y =60

40 + y=60

y = 60-40 =20

Therefore price of advance ticket,x  = $40

and price of same day ticket, y = $20

Answers

Answer: C. Debit Jen Rogers, Capital and credit Jen Rogers, Withdrawals for $15,000

Explanation:

The options do not match the question. Correct answer is posted.

When closing the Withdrawal account at the end of the period, the withdrawals need to be accounted for from the capital invested by the investor because the withdrawals would reduce the capital balance.

To do this the Capital account should be debited to signify that it is reducing. The opposing entry therefore will be to credit the Withdrawals account.

Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices If current Real GDP is greater than Natural Real GDP, the economy is in a recessionary gap. If current Real GDP is less than Natural Real GDP, the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Wages are flexible if the economy is self-regulating. Wages rise but prices remain constant in long-run equilibrium. All economists believe the economy is self-regulating.

Answers

Answer: Wages are flexible if the economy is self-regulating.

Explanation:

Classical economists believe that the economy is self-regulating. This means that if the economy is not at equilibrium, it will return to equilibrium if it is left without interference.

For this to happen, inputs such as wages have to flexible to enable them to adjust to market conditions and thus take the Economy back to equilibrium.

For instance, if there is a recession, wages will reduce so that the prices that the producers can charge will reduce as well which will enable supply to match demand and bring the economy back to equilibrium.

When the stock price follows a random walk the price today is said to be equal to the prior period price plus the expected return for the period with any remaining difference to the actual return due to:_________

a. A predictable amount based on the past prices.
b. A component based on new information unrelated to past prices.
c. The security's risk.
d. The risk free rate.
e. None of the above.

Answers

Answer:

e. None of the above.

Explanation:

When the stock price follows a random walk the price today is said to be equal to the prior period price plus the expected return for the period with any remaining difference to the actual return due due to new information related to the stock​". This is because any new information on stock which is unrelated to stock prices will lead to an increase/decrease in the stock price over a period of time.

Jason Jones has been asked to assemble an eight-member self-managed work team of experienced employees to work on a project that combines the functional areas of research, production, marketing, and distribution. Jason is apprehensive about managing a team so large; he knows from prior experience that larger teams do not always result in greater productivity. Jason has also been informed by the management that this team is being established as the project must progress according to the predetermined timeline. The work lagging behind by one division will cause a cumulative delay in all the successive stages of the project's execution. Which of the following measures, if adopted by Jason, would best ensure that the team members are working efficiently?
A) instructing the team members to finalize the plan for the project right at the beginning and ensuring that it is implemented without any changes
B) discouraging team members from restricting themselves to their own functional areas by experimenting with and learning the jobs done by other members of the team
C) implementing a group-based incentive he has planned for this team
D) implementing a training program to provide the team members with the necessary technical and human relations skills for the project
E) assigning the specific tasks of the project to each team member by keeping in mind their preferences and abilities

Answers

The correct answer is E) Assigning the specific tasks of the project to each team member by keeping in mind their preferences and abilities.

Explanation:

One of the most effective techniques to work efficiently in a group, especially in big groups is to divide the total work or assignment. This implies each of the members of the group would focus on specific tasks or stages of the project rather than on all the assignments.

This strategy is recommended in the situation described because it makes the process to be efficient as each member can use his/her abilities to better develop specific tasks and this would save time. Moreover, this strategy is ideal for Jason Jones because he can better monitor all the work and make sure each of the stages and all the project is finished on time as he will know who is responsible for each stage. According to this, the correct answer is E.

During the year, TRC Corporation has the following inventory transactions. Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Total Cost Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 60 $ 52 $ 3,120 Apr. 7 Purchase 140 54 7,560 Jul. 16 Purchase 210 57 11,970 Oct. 6 Purchase 120 58 6,960 530 $ 29,610 For the entire year, the company sells 450 units of inventory for $70 each. Exercise 6-4A Part 1 Required: 1. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.

Answers

Answer:

Ending inventory = $3,440; Cost of goods sold = $24,370; Sales revenue = $31,500; and Gross profit = $7,130.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the represented question with the sorted data.

Explanation to the answer is now presented as follows:

Note: the attached excel for the calculation of calculation of Cost of goods available for sale, Cost of goods sold, and Ending inventory using FIFO.

First In, First Out (FIFO) can be described as an inventory accounting method in which inventory items that bought first are sold first, while the one that are bought last are the ones that are sold last.

In the attached excel file, since the inventory purchased on Oct. 6 is the one bought last, the number of unit of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 which are sold is calculated as follows:

by deducting the sum of the beginning

inventory and inventory purchased before Oct. 6 from the total inventory sold as follows:

Number of unit of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 that are sold = Total inventory sold – sum of the beginning inventory and inventory purchased before Oct. 6 = 450 - (60 + 140 + 210) = 4

The number of ending inventory is therefore calculated as follows:

Number of unit of ending inventory = Number of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 - Number of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 sold = 120 – 40 = 80

Sales revenue = Number of unit units of inventory sold for the entire year * Selling price per unit = 450 * $70 = $31,500

From the attached excel file, we have:

Cost of goods sold = $24,370

Ending inventory = $3,440

Therefore, we have:

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = $31,500 - $24,370 = $7,130

Explanation:

Based on the information, Sandeep adjusted gross income will be:

Salary $80,000

Add: Punitive damages: $200,000

Add: Cash dividends: $7000

AGI = $80,000 + $200,000 + $7000

AGI = $287,000

Note that the interest income on City of Baltimore bonds and the damages for personal injury are both non taxable exclusion and therefore aren't added.

A: Estimated ordering cost / Actual ordering cost

Explanation:

The above is the correct formular. This is because, inorder to determine the error factor, it is best if the person determine the estimated ordering cost. Later, the actual and exact cost would be taken inorder to for the both ordering cost to be divided. The ratio happens to be the ordering cost error.

Last year Janet purchased a $1,000 face value corporate bond with an 10% annual coupon rate and a 20-year maturity. At the time of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of 13.84%. If Janet sold the bond today for $994.79, what rate of return would she have earned for the past year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

33.8%

Explanation:

Purchase price of the bond will be computed using the formula below.

[tex]p=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} + \frac{F}{(1+r)^{n} }[/tex]

where A = annual coupon = 10% * 1000 = 100

r = yield to maturity = 0.1384

n = time to maturity = 20 years

F = face value = $1,000

p = price of the bond.

[tex]p=\frac{100(1-1.1384^{-20} }{0.1384} + \frac{1,000}{(1.1384)^{20} }\\p = 668.4721 + 74.8346\\p = 743.31[/tex]

Therefore, if Janet sold the bond a year later for $994.79,

the profit on sale = [tex]\frac{994.79}{743.31} -1=0.3383[/tex]

= 33.8% profit (rate of return).

Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability

Answers

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:

In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed

But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000

So, here the amount would be

= $6,000 × 35%

= $1,860

Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit

Answers

Answer:

Deduct the check from the bank Statement balance

Explanation:

In the given scenario when a bank writes a check on September 30 and the beneficiary does not cash the check, it will not be deducted from the company's balance.

So it will not appear on the end of month statement.

When reconciling the company's accounts the check will need to be considered as cash given out already.

The value of the cheque will need to be deducted from the statement balance to show the funds were given out.

Answers

Answer:

01 When the units produced are equal to the units sold, the net operating income computed using the variable costing method is EQUAL TO the net operating income using the absorption costing method.

02 When the units produced exceed the units sold, the net operating income computed using the variable costing method is LOWER THAN the net operating income using the absorption costing method.

03 When the units produced are less than the units sold, the net operating income computed using the variable costing method is HIGHER THAN the net operating income using the absorption costing method.

Explanation:

The basic difference between variable costing and absorption costing methods is that when you use variable costing, the ending inventory only carries variable costs. While under absorption costing, the ending inventory carries both variable and fixed costs. That means that ending inventory under variable costing is worth less than ending inventory under absorption costing (remember that one period's ending inventory is the beginning inventory of the next period).

Purdue Farms makes the first payment on December 31, 2016 and then prepares its balance sheet. What amount will be reported as current and long-term liabilities, respectively, in connection with the note at December 31, 2016, after the first payment is made

Answers

Answer: $2 million in Current liabilities and $6 million in long-term liabilities

Explanation:

Current liabilities are those obligations that a company owes that will be settled in a period/ year.

The first payment of $2 million in 2016 has already been paid so the total amount remaining on the 31st of December is $8 million.

Of this $8 million, a payment of $2 million will be made in a year in 2017 so this will be recorded as Current liabilities as it is a year from 2016.

The remaining $6 million will be long-term as they will be paid in more than a year being 2018, 2019 and 2020.

How do taxes influence responsible financial planning? Discuss some examples of how taxes may influence a financial plan.

Answers

Answer:

I will discuss how taxes affect the financial planning of individuals, not businesses.

The whole idea of responsible financial planning is to maximize an individual's wealth, and in order to be able to do this you generally need to minimize your tax liabilities. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't pay your taxes, but rather that the taxes that you owe should be lower.

An example about how this works is when you you invest in stocks. All dividends are taxed as ordinary income, but if you hold a stock for more than one year and then sell it making a profit, you will be taxed at a much lower rate. That is why it is always a good idea to hold stocks long enough for long term capital gains rate to apply. E.g. if you are married and your ordinary taxable income is less than $80,000, you pay 0 taxes for long term capital gains. Even couples earning up to $496,600 will pay only 15%, while their marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 35%. Remember that every cent that you save on taxes, increases your wealth, and a 20% difference is a lot.  

Another example are IRA accounts. Contributions to traditional IRA accounts lower your taxable income, which is great. Any interest gained by the account will not be taxed until you retire. This allows your money to grow tax free. E.g. you have $100,000 to invest and you an earn 8% per year. If you do not pay any taxes, in 10 years you will have $100,000 x 1.08¹⁰ = $215,894.50. But if you pay a 24% tax rate on your gains, then you will only have $100,000 x [1 + (0.08 x 0.76)]¹⁰ = $180,441.

In order to reduce your taxes, you might sometimes need to postpone or accelerate some expenses or donations. E.g. you generally donate $3,000 to church, it is December and you  are getting ready to sign a check. But you then realize that your current tax bracket is 12%, but since you got a raise, next year you will pay 24%. It is a good idea to write the check on January 2, since you will save $3,000 x (24% - 12%) = $360 in future taxes.

Personal financial planning method of planning, financing, and investing activities, the taxes help us in meeting our goals and desires.

Taxation affects the planning as it created a need and demand for money at the time of retirement. As proper planning is influenced by the taxes and they help to decide more clearly the person's finances and things you want.

Hence they help in planning cautiously and adequately.
