Milden Company has an exclusive franchise to purchase a product from the manufacturer and distribute it on the retail level. As an aid in planning, the company has decided to start using a contribution format income statement. To have data to prepare such a statement, the company has analyzed its expenses and has developed the following cost formulas: Cost Cost Formula Cost of good sold $27 per unit sold Advertising expense $184,000 per quarter Sales commissions 7% of sales Shipping expense ? Administrative salaries $94,000 per quarter Insurance expense $10,400 per quarter Depreciation expense $64,000 per quarter Management has concluded that shipping expense is a mixed cost, containing both variable and fixed cost elements. Units sold and the related shipping expense over the last eight quarters follow: Quarter Units Sold Shipping Expense Year 1: First 30,000 $ 174,000 Second 32,000 $ 189,000 Third 37,000 $ 231,000 Fourth 33,000 $ 194,000 Year 2: First 31,000 $ 184,000 Second 34,000 $ 199,000 Third 44,400 $ 246,000 Fourth 41,400 $ 222,000

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Fixed Cost = $24,000 Variable cost = $5

Explanation:

You have to use the High-Low method

$$Shipping expense = units sold * variable cost + fixed cost

From the table you got, you pick the higher and the lowest unit sold

and calculate the diference between them:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&$Units&$Shipping Expense\n$High&44,400&246,000\n$Low&30,000&174,000\n$Diference&14,400&72,000\n\end{array}\right]

Now 14,400 Units generates a cost of 72,000 Dividing we get the variable component

72,000/14,400 = 5

Then we calculate for the fixed cost:

$$246,000 = 44,400 * 5 + Fixed Cost

Fixed Cost = 24,000

Unland Company uses a periodic inventory system. Details for the inventory account for the month of January 2017 are as follows: Units Per unit price Total
Balance, 1/1/2017 290 $5.00 $1450
Purchase, 1/15/2017 140 ..5.10 714
Purchase, 1/28/2017 140 ..5.30 742

An end of the month (1/31/2017) inventory showed that 230 units were on hand. If the company uses LIFO, what is the value of the ending inventory?

Answers

Answer:

Ending inventory= $1706

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units Per unit price Total

1/1/2017: 290 *$5.00=  $1450

1/15/2017: Purchase,  140*$5.10= $714

1/28/2017: Purchase,  140*$5.30= $742

At the end of the month (1/31/2017) inventory showed that 230 units. If the company uses LIFO (last-in, first-out)

Ending inventory= 140*5.30+140*5.10+50*5= $1706

You are asked to lend money for a major commercial real estate development in a foreign country. There is some talk about a further devaluation of the foreign country's currency. What information do you need to assess the creditworthiness of this project? In your evaluation of the project, be sure to take into account translation exposure and economic exposure (operating and transaction), as well as exchange risk.

Answers

Answer:

Please see explanation below

Explanation:

Before Investment for the real estate development in a foreign country, it is very crucial to determine the viability of the project, and more importantly how the cash flows are being populated over the period. One of the major risks involved in investing in foreign country is the currency exchange risk. The value of currencies for the countries continue to fluctuate based on several economic conditions and other macro factors.

If a regulator in a foreign country is devaluing the country’s currency, then it goes in favour of exporters, as the foreign consumers can afford to buy more goods and services with the same amount. However, the people residing in the the country(importers) faces a huge trouble spending in foreign country due to currency devaluation.

To identify the creditworthiness of the project we need information regarding the property prices, its growth, and public spending in the country where we want to make our investment. Secondly, we need the historical data of currency devaluation event (if any) to assess the actual impact it will have on the economy once the devaluation takes place. Thirdly, we need to identify the exposures or the risk involved in operating the business in the foreign country, and how are we go about mitigating the risk from transaction and operating exposure.

There are three categories of cash flows: single cash flows, also referred to as "lump sums," a stream of unequal cash flows, and annuities. Based on your understanding of annuities, answer the following questions. Which of the following statements about annuities are true? Check all that apply. Ordinary annuities make fixed payments at the end of each period for a certain time period. An annuity due is an annuity that makes a payment at the end of each period for a certain time period. An annuity due earns more interest than an ordinary annuity of equal time. A perpetuity is a constant, infinite stream of equal cash flows that can be thought of as an infinite annuity.

Answers

Answer:

All statement are correct except the the second one.

Explanation:

  • Ordinary annuities make fixed payments at the end of each period for a certain time period.

True. the differentiating feature between ordinary annuities and annuity dues is the timing of the cash-flows- If payments are made at the end of each period, the payment stream is an ordinary annuity but if payments are made at the beginning of each period, then the stream is an annuity due.

  • An annuity due is an annuity that makes a payment at the end of each period for a certain time period.

False. with an annuity due, payments are made at the beginning of each period.

  • An annuity due earns more interest than an ordinary annuity of equal time.

True. Payments are made sooner in an annuity due, with the 1st payment made at the beginning of the first period and the last payment being made at the beginning of the last period. Thus each payment earns interest and as a result, both the present value and the future value are higher than that of an ordinary annuity.

A perpetuity is a constant, infinite stream of equal cash flows that can be thought of as an infinite annuity.

True. A perpetuity is a stream of cash-flows starting at a certain date with equal payments at equal intervals but with no terminal date. Therefore the stream of cash-flows is expected to continue forever- which makes it an infinite annuity.

Using the interest formula, compute the interest and maturity values for each of the following notes: Principal Interest Term Rate $4,000 11.5% 60 days $10,000 11.75% 90 days $6,500 12.75% 60 days $900 12.25% 120 days

Answers

Answer:

The answer is:

A: I=$76,67    MV=$4076,67

B: I=$293,75  MV=$10293,75

C: I=$138,125 MV=$6638,125

D: I=$36,75    MV=$936,75

Explanation:

Notes are often a key component of how a business finances its operations. For purposes of accounting, it's important to be able to calculate the maturity value of a note to know how much a business will have to pay or receive when the note comes due.

In general, notes are a form of short-term commercial financing. The maturity value is the amount of money that the company would receive when the note comes due.

When you know the principal amount, the rate, and the time, the amount of interest can be calculated by using the formula:

I = P*r*t

I= Total interest

P= principal

r= interest rate

t= time

To calculate the Maturity Value you need to sum the principal to the total interest accumulated over time.

Maturity Value= Principal + Interest

In this exercise:

A:

Principal: $4000    r=11,5%       t=60 days

I=4000*0,115*(60/360)= $76,67

Maturity Value= 4000 + 76,67= $4076,67

B:

Principal: $10,000          r=11.75%        t=90 days

I=10000*0,1175*(90/360)= $293,75

Maturity Value= 10000+ 293,75= $10293,75

C:

Principal= $6,500   r=12.75%          time=60 days

I=6500*0,1275*(60/360)= $138,125

Maturity Value= 6500+ 138,125= $6638,125

D:

Principal= $900     r= 12.25%     time=120 days

I=900*0,1225*(120/360)= $36,75

Maturity Value= 900+ 36,75= $936,75

Best Western University wants to increase the size of its student body by shifting the demand curve for its educational services to the right. Which of the following will most likely NOT shift its demand curve to the right?a. really popular, winning sports teams
b. an improved record in student job placements
c. lower tuition and lower prices on textbooks
d. a "best buy" rating in a national magazine

Answers

Answer: C. lower tuition and lower prices on textbooks

Explanation:

A shift in demand simply means that consumers wish to buy more at same price. It is caused by other factors that affect demand except the price. On the other hand, a movement along the demand curve is caused as a result of a change in price.

Based on the options given, lower tuition and lower prices on textbooks will not shift the demand curve since it's a change in price and will rather cause a movement along the demand curve.
