Answer: $3.60
Explanation:
Contribution Margin is calculated by deducting variable expenses from the sales.
= Sales - Variable manufacturing expense - Variable selling and administrative expense
= 1,560,000 - 660,000 - 180,000
= $720,000
Unit Contribution Margin = 720,000/200,000 bags sold
= $3.60
The options are not for the Unit Contribution Margin.

c. $87,878.88
d. $84,363.13
Answer:
$87,878.88
Explanation:
Calculation How much do you need to earn this year
Using this formula
PV = FV/ (1 + r )^n
Where,
FV =Future Value=$100,000
PV = Present Value
r = rate of interest=6.5%
n= no of period=3 years
Let plug in the formula
PV = $100,000 / ((1 + 6.5%)^3)
PV = $82,784.91
Therefore the amount you need to earn this year will be $82,784.91

Return on equity = net income / equity =
net income = total revenue - expenses = $66,500 - $42,700 (salaries) - $6,900 (utilities) - $8,000 (supplies) - $1,675 (depreciation) - $2,700 (taxes) = $4,525
equity = $153,200 (Dec. 31 balance) + $42,000 (new stocks issued) - $20,000 (treasury stocks) - $3,620 (dividends) + 17,600 (treasury stocks sold) + $4,525 (net income) = $193,705
ROE = $4,525 / $193,705 = 2.34%
The company is less profitable than other companies in the same industry.
second part
total stocks outstanding = 18,100
third part
EPS for January = $4,525 / 18,100 = $0.25
EPS for January is higher than last year's average
Prices for airline tickets change on average about once per month. This would suggest that airline ticket prices are
Answer:
relatively flexible

Globalization forces small businesses to compete worldwide. The result of globalization is that operation manager (OM) or owner must do which of the following to stay competitive:
Answer:
- Making sure the cost of their asset management is as low as possible
- Maximize their product delivery
- Making sure that their price of operation is efficient
- making sure price of their product is competitive
Explanation:
Due to globalization, businesses are forced to compete on foreign markets that they might not be familiar with. In such situations, lowering cost of production while maintaining the quality of their products is the best thing that they can do to maintain a healthy profit margin. This can be done by lowering the cost that they need to make maintenance of their assets and minimizing the cost they need to acquire materials.
On top of lowering cost of production, they also need to provide better services and reasonable price range for the costumers. They need to put a good customer service call along with on time delivery to keep customers happy.

How many withdrawals will he or his heir (in case of his death) be able to make before the entire amount is exhausted
Answer:
How many withdrawals will he or his heir (in case of his death) be able to make before the entire amount is exhausted is explained below in detail explanation.
Explanation:
Let the no of withdrawals be n, then
Present value of n withdrawals = 50000
Interest rate per 6 months =8%/2 =4%
Withdraw amt/(Int rate)*(1-1/(1+interest)^n) = 50000
=> 2500/0.04*(1-1/1.04^n) = 50000
1/1.04^n = 0.2
1.04^n = 5
=> n = ln(5) / ln(1.04) = 41.03
Total 41 withdrawals of Rs.2500 can be made (with a smaller 42nd installment of less than Rs.2500)

Marigold Corp. reported sales of $2200000 last year (80000 units at $20 each), when the break-even point was 44000 units. Marigold’s margin of safety ratio is:_______
Answer:
the margin of safety ratio is 45%
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety ratio is shown below:
The Margin of safety ratio is
= (Actual sales unit - break even sales unit) ÷ (Actual sale unit)
= (80,000 units - 44,000 units) ÷ (80,000 units)
= 36,000 units ÷ 80,000 units
= 45%
Hence, the margin of safety ratio is 45%
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
A company sells a plant asset which originally cost $354000 for $124000 on December 31, 2018. The Accumulated Depreciation account had a balance of $146000 after the current year's depreciation of $39000 had been recorded. The company should recognize a
Answer:
d. $45.000 loss on disposal.
Explanation:
a. $84000 gain on disposal. b. $84000 loss on disposal. c. $230000 loss on disposal. d. $45.000 loss on disposal.
Book Value on the Date of sale = Cost - Accumulated Depreication -Current year Depreciation
Book Value on the Date of sale = $354,000 - $146,000 - $39,000
Book Value on the Date of sale = $169,000
Gain (Loss) on disposal of the Asset= Selling Price - Book Value
Gain (Loss) on disposal of the Asset = $124,000 - $169,000
Loss on disposal of the Asset = $45,000
Project L costs $70,000, its expected cash inflows are $16,000 per year for 8 years, and its WACC is 13%. What is the project's discounted payback?
Answer:
6.89 years
Explanation:
The discounted payback period can be calculated by using the following table
Year Cash flows PV(13%) Cumulative Cash flows
0 (70000) (70000) (70000)
1 16000 14159.29 (55840.71)
2 16000 12530.35 (43310.36)
3 16000 11088.80 (32221.56)
4 16000 9813.10 (22408.46)
5 16000 8684.16 (13724.30)
6 16000 7685.10 (6039.20)
7 16000 6800.97 761.77
8 16000 6018.56 6780.33
Discounted Payback = 6 years + 6039/ 6801
Discounted Payback = 6.89 years
Assume you just deposited $1,000 into a bank account. The current real interest rate is 7.00% and inflation is expected to be 8.00% over the next year. What nominal interest rate would you require from the bank over the next year? How much money will you have at the end of one year? If you are saving to buy fancy bicycle that currently sells for $1,050, will you have enough money to buy it?
Answer:
a) The nominal interest rate that I would require from the bank over the next year is 15%.
b) At the end of one year, I will have $1,150.
c) If I am saving to buy a fancy bicycle that currently sells for $1,050, I will have enough money ($1,150) to buy it. It will be costing $1,134 ($1,050 * 1.08) with inflation rate of 8% in one year's time.
Explanation:
The nominal interest rate (15%) is higher than the real interest rate (7%) when inflation is positive because the real interest rate is adjusted for inflation (at 8%). The real interest rate is the rate without inflation while the nominal interest rate factors in the inflation rate.

On January 1, 2016, Horton Inc. sells a machine for $23,000. The machine was originally purchased on January 1, 2014 for $40,000. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 5 years and a residual value of $0. Horton uses straight-line depreciation. In recording this transaction:
Answer:
The entry to record this transaction will be,
Accumulated depreciation 16000
Cash 23000
Loss on disposal 1000
Machine 40000
Explanation:
The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense throughout the useful life of the asset. The formula to calculate depreciation expense per year under this method is,
Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful life of the asset
Depreciation expense per year = (40000 - 0) / 5 = $8000 per year
The net book value of the machine on 1 January 2016 = 40000 - (8000 * 2)
NBV = $24000
As the machine was sold for $23000, the loss on disposal will be,
Loss on disposal = 23000 - 24000 = -1000 or $1000 loss
This afternoon, Northern Railways paid an annual dividend of $2.44 per share. The company has been increasing the dividends by 15 percent each year. How much are you willing to pay to purchase stock in this company if your required rate of return is 16 percent?
a. $7.87
b. $207.40
c. $36.60
d. $6.69
e. $280.60
Answer:
P0 = $280.60
Option e is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 is the dividend today or paid recentlyD0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of returnP0 = 2.44 * (1+0.15) / (0.16 - 0.15)
P0 = $280.60
On March 2, Blue Ribbon sold $887,400 of merchandise to Lumberyard Inc. with terms 2/10, n/30. The cost of the merchandise sold was $571,700. Lumberyard Inc. pays the balance owed on March 11.
Required:
How much does Lumberyard pay on March 11?
Answer:
Payment will be = $869652
Explanation:
The terms of the credit sale to Lumberyard were 2/10, n/30 which means that Lumberyard was entitled to receive a 2% discount if the payment is made within 10 days of purchase of merchandise while the total credit period was of 30 days. As Lumberyard has paid the balance owed on 11 March and within the discount period, the amount paid by Lumberyard and the discount received will be,
Discount received = 887400 * 0.02 = $17748
Payment will be = 887400 - 17748 = $869652
Dawson Electronic Services had revenues of $106,000 and expenses of $63,000 for the year. Its assets at the beginning of the year were $413,000. At the end of the year assets were worth $463,000. Calculate its return on assets.
Answer:Return On Assets=9.8%
Explanation:
Return On Assets =Net income/Average total assets
But
Net income=Revenues-Expenses
=$106,000 - $63,000
= $43,000
And Average total assets is given as (Beginning assets +Ending assets)/2
= ($413,000+$463000)/2=$876,000 /2
=$438,000
Therefore Return On Assets =Net income/Average total assets
= $43,000 / $438,000
=0.098 x 100
=9.8%
The results of unethical behavior in a business can be catastrophic, both financially and in reputation. Clearwater Electronics currently has a solid reputation as an ethical organization and wants to maintain that reputation. Top management has tasked the HR department to reinforce ethical behavior consistently throughout the company. Given that responsibility, why is it especially important for the HR professionals themselves to behave ethically?
Answer:
Throughout the description segment below the overview according to the particular instance is defined.
Explanation:
Even though HR professionals become capable just of establishing as well as maintaining a healthy work atmosphere throughout positions of responsibility, it's indeed crucial that they somehow behave responsibly. This same HR department must therefore implement professional HR activities ensuring that they're being a model citizen again for the majority including its corporation's representatives.Which of the following assumptions would cause the constant growth stock valuation model to be invalid? The growth rate is zero. The growth rate is negative. The required rate of return is greater than the growth rate. The required rate of return is more than 50%. None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model. -Select-
Answer:
e. None of the above assumptions would invalidate the model
Explanation:
Incomplete question "The constant growth model is given below: P0 = [D0(1 + g)]/[(rs - g)]"
According to dividend discount model,
P0 = D1/(R-G)
D1 - Dividend at t =1
R - Required rate
G - Growth rate
This would be invalid if R < G. In other words, Dividend growth model will be invalid in only one situation, that is, when growth rate is more than require return. In this situation growth model cannot be used.
A friend asks to borrow $635.52 today and promises to repay you $1,000 with interest compounded annually at 12%. How many years (compounding periods) will pass before you receive the payment
Answer:
4 years
Explanation:
We can calculate the years (compounding periods that) will pass before you receive the payment by calculating the PV factor at 12% as follows.
DATA
Amount borrowed = $635.52
future amount = $1,000
Interest rate = 12%
Time period (n) = ?
Solution
Amount borrowed = future amount x Present value factor (12%, n)
$635.52 = $1,000 x PV factor(12%, n)
0.63552 = PV factor(12%, n)
If you see in a discount table yu wi see 0.63552 in the fourth row of 12% rate that means it will take 4 years to receive the payment.

a. Distinguish between physical asset markets and financial asset markets. What’s the difference between spot markets and futures markets?
b. Distinguish between money markets and capital markets. What’s the difference between primary markets and secondary markets?
c. Differentiate between private and public markets. Why are financial markets essential for a healthy economy and economic growth?
Answer:
a. Physical assets are tangible, they can be touched, seen, used. They generally lose value over time because they depreciate. On the other hand, financial assets are intangible, they only exist because documents say so. Their price can change if interest rates change of if market conditions change.
Spot markets are markets where securities, currencies or commodities are traded immediately. While futures markets represent the trading of securities, currencies or commodities at a future date.
b. Money markets are where investors trades short term securities, while capital markets are where stocks, bonds and other long term securities are traded.
Primary markets exist only when securities are issued for the first time, e.g. an IPO. The vast majority of trading occurs in secondary markets since a security can literally be traded hundreds of times and all of these operations, except for the initial issuance, take place in secondary markets.
c. Public markets are all the trading markets where publicly traded corporations exchange or trade securities, and anyone can buy them, e.g. NYSE, NASDAQ, etc. Private markets only involve trading of privately held securities, e.g. stocks of closely held corporations. Only certain investors can trade with private securities, they are not available to the general public.
Financial markets basically receive savings from private households and businesses, and they transfer them (as investments) to other companies that need these resources to operate and grow. There is a direct relationship between healthy financial markets and economic development.

Curtis invests $700,000 in a city of Athens bond that pays 9.00 percent interest. Alternatively, Curtis could have invested the $700,000 in a bond recently issued by Initech, Incorporated that pays 11.00 percent interest with similar risk as the city of Athens bond. Assume that Curtis's marginal tax rate is 24 percent. How much implicit tax would Curtis pay on the city of Athens bond?
Answer:
$14,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How much implicit tax would Curtis pay on the city of Athens bond
Using this formula
Implicit tax=(Amount invested*Initech Interest rate)- (Amount invested* Athens bond Interest rate)
Let plug in the formula
Implicit tax=(11%*$700,000)- (9%*$700,000)
Implicit tax=$77,000-$63,000
Implicit tax=$14,000
Therefore the implicit tax that Curtis would pay on the city of Athens bond will be $14,000
Now that you know about the different types of bank accounts, relate this information to your chosen career path. Write a paragraph explaining the type(s) of bank accounts that you would need in order to save enough money for college or training for your career. Your answer should address the following questions:
Do you already have a bank account? If so, which type(s), and how do you use them? If not, then how could you go about opening a bank account of your own?
After learning about the different types of bank accounts, which one do you think offers the best options for saving money for college, daily living expenses, and an emergency fund?
Define a bounced check, or a check returned for insufficient funds. Explain a circumstance in which someone might bounce a check (give an example), and create and discuss a plan so that this does not happen to you.
Answer:
I pay for my expenses using either my debit card or cash that I withdraw from the ATM. It is very rare that I write a check to pay for my purchases. If there is an emergency situation, I withdraw money from one of my certificates of deposit.
I want to be a physicist, and I plan to earn a graduate degree in physics from Harvard University. I don’t have enough money saved up to pay for my tuition, even though I have two certificates of deposit accounts and one savings account. This means that I will probably have to take a student loan from my bank. However, I do have sufficient money in my checking account to pay for my daily expenses.
A bounced check is a check that a person has written but cannot pay for due to insufficient funds. For example, a person might send a check for a credit card bill but the person’s bank account may not have sufficient balance to pay this amount. To avoid check bouncing, I’ll always try and remember a rough figure of the money in my account. Additionally, wherever possible, I will pay my bill either in cash or by debit card.
Explanation:
PLATO sample answer
A bank monetary base account is managed by a bank or other financial institution wherein the bank records financial transactions with customers.
Bank Account:We pay for all our purchases with a debit card or cash from an ATM. I rarely pay for things with a check. I can take money out of one of my certificates of deposit because I need it in an emergency.
We want to be a physicist and plan to study physics at Harvard University. Although I have two savings deposits and one savings account, I may not have enough money set aside to pay for my tuition. As a result, I'll most likely need to borrow money from my bank for a student loan. My term deposit, on the other hand, has enough cash to cover our everyday needs.The bounced check has been written but cannot be paid because of a lack of money. The person may, for example, submit an account to cover a credit card debt, yet his or her bank account may not have adequate funds to cover the payment. I'll try to remember a rough figure of the money in my account to avoid checks bouncing.I'll also pay my share in cash or through a debit card whenever feasible.Find out more about the bank account here:
