Answer:
1. EOQ = 4,000 units per order.
place an order every 12 days.
2. If you can only make one purchase per month, the purchase order should be for 10,000 units.
Total inventory costs would increase by $10,800
Explanation:
annual demand = 10,000 x 12 = 120,000
annual holding cost per unit = $0.50 x 12 = $6
order cost = $400
EOQ = √[(2 x 120,000 x $400) / $6] = √16,000,000 = 4,000
total number of orders per year = 120,000 / 4,000 = 30
each order will be placed after 365 / 30 = 12.17 days
total inventory costs = (30 x $400) + (2,000 x $6) = $24,000
new inventory costs = (12 x $400) + (5,000 x $6) = $34,800
Ted works for Azure Motors, an automobile dealership. All employees can buy a car at the company's cost plus 2%. The company does not charge employees the $300 dealer preparation fee that nonemployees must pay. Ted purchased an automobile for $29,580 ($29,000 $580). The company's cost was $29,000. The price for a nonemployee would have been $33,900 ($33,600 $300 preparation fee). What is Ted's gross income, if any, from the purchase of the automobile
Answer:
$240
Explanation:
The computation of the ted gross income is given below;
But before that the following calculations need to be done
The discount would be
= $33,600 - $29,580
= $4,020
There is a service of $300 out of which 80% represent the gross income
So the gross income would be
= 80% of $300
= $240
Hence, the gross income of Ted is $240
Southern Corporation has a capital structure of 40% debt and 60% common equity. This capital structure is expected not to change. The firm's tax rate is 34%. The firm can issue the following securities to finance capital investments: Debt: Capital can be raised through bank loans at a pretax cost of 10.0%. Also, bonds can be issued at a pretax cost of 7.0%. Common Stock: Retained earnings will be available for investment. In addition, new common stock can be issued at the market price of $90. Flotation costs will be $4 per share. The recent common stock dividend was $4.79. Dividends are expected to grow at 8% in the future.
Required:
What is the cost of capital if the firm uses bank loans and retained earnings?
Answer:
The cost of capital is 10.89%.
Explanation:
Cost of retained earnings = ((Dividend * (100% + Dividend growth rate)) / Stock price) + Growth rate = ((4.79 * (100% + 8%)) / 90) + 8% = 13.748%
Cost of common stock = Cost of retained earnings = 13.748%
Cost of capital = (Weight of debt * (Cost of debt * (100% - Tax rate))) + (Weight of common stock * Cost of common stock) = (40% * (10% * (100% - 34%))) + (60% * 13.748%) = 10.89%
Therefore, the cost of capital is 10.89%.

g On January 1, Garcia Supply leased a truck for a three-year period, at which time possession of the truck will revert back to the lessor. Annual lease payments are $10,500 due on December 31 of each year, calculated by the lessor using a 4% discount rate. Negotiations led to Garcia guaranteeing a $27,400 residual value at the end of the lease term. Garcia estimates that the residual value after four years will be $26,300. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) What is the amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee
Answer:
The amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee is $904.12.
Explanation:
Guaranteed residual value = $27,400
Estimated residual value = $26,300
Difference in residual value = Guaranteed residual value - Estimated residual value = $27,400 - $26,300 = $1,100
Present value of difference in residual value = Difference in residual value / (100% + Discount rate)^Number of years = $1,100 / (100% + 4%)^5 = $904.12
Therefore, the amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee is $904.12 which is the present value of difference in residual value.

You founded your own firm three years ago. You initially contributed $200,000 of your own money and in return you received 2 million shares of stock. Since then, you have sold an additional 1 million shares of stock to angel investors. You are now considering raising capital from a venture capital firm. This venture capital firm would invest $5 million and would receive 2 million newly issued shares in return. Assuming that this is the venture capitalist's first investment in your firm, what percentage of the firm will the venture capitalist own
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what percentage of the firm will the venture capitalist own
Using this formula
% ownership = Number of shares owned/Total number of shares
Let plug in the formula
% ownership=2 million shares /(2million shares + 1 million shares + 2million shares )
% ownership= 2million shares/5million shares
% ownership=0.4*100
% ownership=40%
Therefore what percentage of the firm will the venture capitalist own is 40%
3. You own a portfolio that has $4,740 invested in Stock A and $3,260 invested in Stock B. If the expected returns on these stocks are 8 percent and 11 percent, respectively, what is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio expected return = 0.092225 or 9.2225%
Explanation:
The expected portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The expected return on the portfolio containing two stocks can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Expected Return = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of stocksr represents the return from each stockTo calculate the weight of each stock in the portfolio, we first need to calculate the total investment in the portfolio.
Total Investment = 4740 + 3260 = 8000
Portfolio expected return = 4740/8000 * 8% + 3260/8000 * 11%
Portfolio expected return = 0.092225 or 9.2225%
Suppose your company needs $13 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .55. The flotation cost for new equity is 6 percent, but the flotation cost for debt is only 3 percent. Your boss has decided to fund the project by borrowing money because the flotation costs are lower and the needed funds are relatively small.
A. What is your company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally?
B. What is the true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account?
Answer:
A. The company’s weighted average flotation cost, assuming all equity is raised externally is:
= 4.35%.
B. The true cost of building the new assembly line after taking flotation costs into account is:
= $13.39 million.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Amount needed to build a new assembly line = $13 million
Target debt-equity ratio = 0.55
Therefore, the weight of equity = 1 - 0.55 = 0.45
Flotation cost for new equity = 6%
Flotation cost for debt = 3%
Weighted average flotation cost = (Equity flotation cost * weight) + (Debt flotation cost * weight)
= 6% * 0.45 = 2.7%
+ 3% * 0.55 = 1.65%
Weighted Average = 4.35%
True cost of building the new assembly line:
Amount needed to build a new assembly line = $13 million
Plus Debt flotation cost (3% of $13 million) 0.39 million
Total cost of building the assembly line, including flotation cost = $13.39 million
b) Note that the interest payments are not included in the above cost.
A city that is attempting to attract a professional football team is planning to build a new stadium costing $500 million. Annual upkeep is expected to amount to $1,000,000 per year. The artificial turf will have to be replaced every 20 years at a cost of $2,000,000. Painting every 5 years will cost $250,000. If the city expects to maintain the facility indefinitely, what will be its capitalized cost at an interest rate of 10% per year
Answer:
Capitalized cost = - $510,758,686.20
Explanation:
Interest rate = r = 10%, or 0.10
Present value of base cost = $500 million = $500,000,000
Present value of annual upkeep = $1,000,000 / r = $1,000,000 / 0.10 = $10,000,000
Present value of the replacement cost of artificial turf every 20 years = ($2,000,000 * (r / (((1 + r)^20) - 1)) / r = ($2,000,000 * (0.10 / (((1 + 0.10)^20) - 1)) / 0.10 = $349,192.50
Present value of painting every 5 years = ($250,000 * (r / (((1 + r)^5) - 1)) / r = ($250,000 * (0.10 / (((1 + 0.10)^5) - 1)) / 0.10 = $409,493.70
Therefore, we have:
Capitalized cost = - Present value of base cost - Present value of annual upkeep - Present value of the replacement cost of artificial turf every 20 years - Present value of painting every 5 years = - $500,000,000 - $10,000,000 - $349,192.50 - $409,493.70 = - $510,758,686.20

Manufacturing Decisions
Whenever the units manufactured differ from the units sold, finished goods inventory is affected. In analyzing operating income, such increases and decreases could be misinterpreted as operating efficiencies or inefficiencies. Each decision-making situation should be carefully analyzed in deciding whether absorption or variable costing reporting would be more useful.
All costs are controllable in the long run by someone within a business. For a given level of management, costs may be controllable costs or noncontrollable costs.

Is the change in the asset turnover ratio from 20Y2 to 20Y3 favorable or unfavorable
Answer:
a. Asset Turnover 20Y3
= Sales / Average assets
= 2,385,000 / [ (770,000 + 820,000) / 2]
= 2,385,000 / 795,000
= 3.0
Asset Turnover 20Y2
= 2,015,500 / [ (620,000 + 770,000) / 2]
= 2,015,500 / 695,000
= 2.9
b. The change is Favorable because it means that the assets are bringing in more sales per dollar value of assets to the company.
Oriole Company sells office equipment on July 31, 2022, for $21,000 cash. The office equipment originally cost $73,600 and as of January 1, 2022, had accumulated depreciation of $42,300. Depreciation for the first 7 months of 2022 is $5,250. Prepare the journal entries to (a) update depreciation to July 31, 2022, and (b) record the sale of the equipment.
Answer:
(a) update depreciation to July 31, 2022
Debit : Depreciation expense $5,250
Credit : Accumulated depreciation $5,250
(b) record the sale of the equipment.
Debt : Cash $21,000
Debit : Accumulated depreciation $47,550
Debit : Profit and loss $5,050
Credit : Office equipment at Cost $73,600
Explanation:
It is important to remember that even in the year of sale, we still have to provide for depreciation of the asset for the period it was in use for that year. Hence the need to prepare a journal to update the depreciation.
After a disposal, the company incurs either a profit or a loss and this must be accounted for. The whole process of a sale can be shown in a journal.
Accumulated depreciation = $42,300 + $5,250 = $47,550
The Loss on sale of the asset is $5,050.

Explanation:
The Payroll records of Oregon Mist contained the following information for the month of November: Salaries $ 350,000 FICA Taxes (including Social Security and Medicare) 21,700 Federal Unemployment Taxes 3,500 State Unemployment Taxes 1,750 The journal entry to record the monthly Payroll Tax Expense would include a: A. debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $25,200. B. credit to FICA Taxes Payable of $43,400. C. debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $48,650. D. debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $26,950.
Answer: D. debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $26,950.
Explanation:
We should note that the payroll tax expense will consist of the federal unemployment tax, the state unemployment tax and the FICA taxes. This will then be:
= 3500 + 1750 + 21700
= 26950
Therefore, the journal entry to record the monthly Payroll Tax Expense would include debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $26,950.

The type of legal system and the level of corruption in a country have been found to be: significant determinants of the rate of economic growth in a country. important topics for political discussion, but not economic explanations of growth. unrelated to the rate of economic growth in a country. important variables explaining the Golden Rule level of capital
Answer:
significant determinants of the rate of economic growth in a country.
Explanation:
A legal system can be defined as the system of principles, regulations and rules established by legislature, that is adopted in a community, society or country to regulate the actions of its citizens, members or employees.
Thus, it is a tool used by the judiciary, lawyers, individuals, organizations, and even government to ensure everybody is well behaved, non-criminal and civil in their actions. Therefore, a legal system creates the foundation for ethical behavior.
In circumstances where there are aberration, the legal system enforces an appropriate law as a punishment and penalty for wrongdoings or misdeeds.
Hence, the type of legal system and the level of corruption in a country have been found to be significant determinants of the rate of economic growth in a country because if the level of corruption is high and the legal system isn't functional by appropriately sentencing corrupt individuals or officials in a country, the economy of such a country would be impacted negatively.

Name a product or a company that you are familiar with. Discuss how environmental forces (social, economic, technological, competitive, and regulatory) will impact that product/company over the next five years.
Answer:
The name of the product is Coke and this is a Pestel Analysis.
PESTEL is short for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal. All representing factors that can and will impact the operations of any business.
Explanation:
Coca-Cola is a global company with is in the business of providing refreshments to its customers by the sale of Soda or soft drinks. Because of the nature of the product, the industry in which they play is heavily regulated and they must use the best technology in order to stay relevant, competitive, and dominant in the market.
Political factors
One of the regulators to whom Coca-cola must dance to its tune is the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) a Federal Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services in the US. All Coca-cola product must meet their requirements as stipulated by law. If the laws enforced by FDA changes it could adversely affect the distribution, taxes, accounting, and all other operations of Coca-Cola.
Economical factors
Some economic factors that may affect a business like Coca-cola are:
Interest rates, exchange rates, recession, Inflation, Taxes, Demand / Supply.
One critical factor in this group which the company must be on the lookout for always is changes in taste and demand. Consumers are making a shift globally towards more healthy alternatives to soda. This is because, as the world becomes more sedentary due to shifts in global economic patterns as induced by the pandemic, risk factors relating to health care on the increase. Hence consumers want to ensure that they cut down on foods and beverages that increase their predisposition to conditions such as obesity, cancer, high blood pressure, etc.
To stay relevant and competitive, the company has to seek out healthy drinks that speak to all the various localities (which are over 200 countries).
Social factors
Examples of social factors that can affect a business are:
e-commerce adaptation, purchasing habits, ease of adoption of technology, changes in customer service expectation, the education level of consumers.
The purchasing habit for Coca-cola is changing in lots of countries. People are becoming more predisposed to buying products online. How will that affect the demand for the company's products? Will it increase as online food orders increase? can the company position itself to take advantage of the trend? If yes, then it is making taking advantage of its changing social environment.
Technological factors
Adoption of best-in-class machinery is one of the strategies that has enabled Coca-Cola to achieve higher quality and quantity of its products. Speed of delivery, processes that are optimized for the lowest costs and highest outputs are now being made possible with advances in technology. Coca-cola is taking advantage of technology especially in regions such as Europe.
Legal factors
Product liability, third-party liability, employer-employee (labor) relations, compliance, and regulatory factors are all within the scope of Coca-Cola's legal universe. Constantly managing this space of its operations will keep it from experiencing avoidable erosion of its bottom line and brand equity.
Environmental factors
Companies no longer compete on the basis of profitability alone. Global companies are the target of onslaughts from those who campaign against the degradation of the environment. One way they do so is to discourage the consumption of the goods of a company whose activities are harming the environment.
So companies all over the world are not competing based on the triple bottom line criteria: People, Planet, Profit.
This answers the questions whether
Coca-cola is in compliance with international best practices as far as labor law is concerned;How does the company handle its effluents and wastes? is it just discharging them into the earth without treatment? or is it creatively converting them into economic products? how responsible is the company socially?then of course there is the issue of keeping the books in the blackCheers
On January 1, 2017, Yeager Company purchased some equipment for $4,700. The estimated life was five years, after which there would be a residual value of $600. On January, 1, 2019, the estimated total economic life from the original purchase date was changed to six years and the estimated residual value was increased by $100. Assuming straight line depreciation method is used by the company, what is the amount of depreciation expense for the year 2019
Answer:
$575
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation using the formula :
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life
2017
Deprecation expense = $820
2018
Deprecation expense = $820
2019
Calculate depreciable amount :
New depreciable amount = Previous Depreciable Amount - Accumulated depreciation - Increase in Residual amount
= $4,700 - $600 - $1,640 - $100
= $2,300
Determine the New useful life :
Since 2 years have already expired, the new useful life out of the revised 6 years is 4.
Depreciation Expense calculation :
Depreciation Expense = Depreciable Amount ÷ Useful Life
= $2,300 ÷ 4
= $575
Conclusion :
The amount of depreciation expense for the year 2019 is $575
