Answer:
b. A firm that competes on the dimension of customization tends to have operating systems that are inflexible.
Explanation:
It is correct to say that a company that competes in the customization dimension tends to have inflexible operating systems, because product customization is a different process from mass production, as the demand is different, the customization process takes longer and therefore requires inflexible operating systems.
Daphne Inc., a steel manufacturing company, is planning to buy a new plant at $1,090,000. The life of the plant is estimated to be 5 years and has cash flows of $109,000, $218,000, $327,000, $436,000, and $545,000. Calculate the payback period for the new plant.
a. 5 years
b. 2 years
c. 4 years
d. 3 years
Answer:
The payback period is exactly 4 years.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $1,090,000
Cf1= 109,000
Cf2= 218,000
Cf3= 327,000
Cf4= 436,000
Cf5= 545,000
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:
Year 1= 109,000 - 1,090,000= -981,000
Year 2= 218,000 - 981,000= -763,000
Year 3= 327,000 - 763,000= 436,000
Year 4= 436,000 - 436,000= 0
The payback period is exactly 4 years.

The unit quantity standard of a product is 3 pounds per package, and the unit quantity standard for machine hours is 0.40 hours per package. During August, 190,000 packages were produced. 430,000 pounds and 77,000 hours were used in production. How many pounds and how many machine hours should have been used for the actual output
Answer:
Standard pounds= 570,000 pounds
Standard hours= 76,000 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard pounds= 3 pounds per package
Standard hours= 0.40 hours per package.
During August, 190,000 packages were produced.
To calculate the standard quantity of pounds and hours that should have been used, we need to multiply the standard rate whit the actual output.
Standard pounds= 190,000*3= 570,000 pounds
Standard hours= 0.4*190,000= 76,000 hours
Assume that Corn Co. sold 7,600 units of Product A and 2,400 units of Product B during the past year. The unit contribution margins for Products A and B are $34 and $59, respectively. Corn has fixed costs of $378,000. The break-even point in units is a.9,450 units b.11,340 units c.7,560 units d.14,175 units
,Answer: a. 9,450 units
Explanation:
You need to find the weighted average contribution margin for both products.
Product A
Weighted average contribution margin = Contribution margin * Units sold / Total units sold
= 34 * 7,600 / (7,600 + 2,400)
= $25.84
Product B
= 59 * 2,400 / 10,000
= $14.16
Breakeven point in units = Fixed costs/ (Weighted average contribution margin of both A and B)
= 378,000 / (25.84 + 14.16)
= 9,450 units
Various shareholders' equity topics; comprehensive
Part A
In late 2010, the Nicklaus Corporation was formed. The corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock carrying a $1 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of $5 par value, noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2, 2011, 3,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange for cash at an average price of $10 per share. Also on January 2, all 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock are issued at $20 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the shareholders' equity section of the Nicklaus balance sheet as of March 31, 2011. (Assume net income for the first quarter 2011 was $1,000,000.)
Part B
During 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation participated in three treasury stock transactions:
a. On June 30, 2011, the corporation reacquires 200,000 shares for the treasury at a price of $12 per share.
b. On July 31, 2011, 50,000 treasury shares are reissued at $15 per share.
c. On September 30, 2011, 50,000 treasury shares are reissued at $10 per share.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record these transactions.
2. Prepare the Nicklaus Corporation shareholders' equity section as it would appear in a balance sheet prepared at September 30, 2011. (Assume net income for the second and third quarter was $3,000,000.)
Part C
On October 1, 2011, Nicklaus Corporation receives permission to replace its $1 par value common stock (5,000,000 shares authorized, 3,000,000 shares issued, and 2,900,000 shares outstanding) with a new common stock issue having a $.50 par value. Since the new par value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1 stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of the $.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the issuing corporation.
On November 1, 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $.05 per share cash dividend on common stock and a $.25 per share cash dividend on preferred stock. Payment is scheduled for December 1, 2011, to shareholders of record on November 15, 2011.
On December 2, 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a 1% stock dividend payable on December 28, 2011, to shareholders of record on December 14. At the date of declaration, the common stock was selling in the open market at $10 per share. The dividend will result in 58,000 (.01 × 5,800,000) additional shares being issued to shareholders.
Required:
1. Prepare journal entries to record the declaration and payment of these stock and cash dividends.
2. Prepare the December 31, 2011, shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet for the Nicklaus Corporation. (Assume net income for the fourth quarter was $2,500,000.)
3. Prepare a statement of shareholders' equity for Nicklaus Corporation for 2011.

Initially this seen as a temporary crop until the colonists learned that they could diversify it wine and other food crops. Colonists wanted to grow this crop because it made them money in short time with little investment. What was this crop?
Answer:
Tobacco
Explanation:
Tobacco, grown from seeds stolen from the Spanish, was the cash crop that saved the colonists in the New World. Because growing tobacco required lots of hard work and labor, more people were needed to work in the fields. The more workers one had, the more tobacco they could grow and the greater the profit they could gain.

Cunningham Industries reported actual sales of $2,000,000, and fixed costs of $510,000. The contribution margin ratio is 30%.
Compute the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual sales= $2,000,000
Fixed costs= $510,000
Contribution margin ratio= 0.3
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in sales dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 510,000 / 0.3
Break-even point (dollars)= $1,700,000
Now, the margin of safety:
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= 2,000,000 - 1,700,000
Margin of safety= $300,000
Finally, the margin of safety ratio:
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 300,000 / 2,000,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.15 = 15%
Locus Company has total fixed costs of $112,000. Its product sells for $35 per unit and variable costs amount to $25 per unit. Next year Locus Company wishes to earn a pretax income that equals 10% of fixed costs. How many units must be sold to achieve this target income level?
A.1,120.
B. 8,214.
C.11,200.
D.12,320.
E.14,080.
Answer:
D.12,320.
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units to be sold for attaining the target income level is given below:
Target profit
= 10% of fixed cost
= 10% of 112,000
= 11200
Now
Sales needed = (Fixed costs +target profit) ÷ unit contribution margin
= (112,000+11,200) ÷ (35-25)
= 123,200 ÷ 10
= 12,320 units

A stock has a beta of 1.45, the expected return on the market is 19 percent, and the risk-free rate is 5.00 percent. What must the expected return on this stock be? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer: 25.30%
Explanation:
This can be calculated by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):
= Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.45 * (19% - 5%)
= 5% + 20.3
= 25.30%
Asonia Co. will pay a dividend of $4.95, $9.05, $11.90, and $13.65 per share for each of the next four years, respectively. The company will then close its doors. If investors require a return of 9.2 percent on the company's stock, what is the stock price
Answer: $30.86
P = $4.95/(1 + .92) + $9.05/(1 + .92)^2 + $11.90/(1 + .92)^3 + $13.65/(1 + .92)^4
P = 4.53+7.59+ 9.14+ 9.60=$30.86

You purchased an automobile a year ago for $10,000. Its current market price is $6,000, and the expected market value one year from now is $4,000. If the interest rate is 10 percent, how much will it cost you to keep the car for an additional year (over and above operation and maintenance costs)
Answer: $2600
Explanation:
From the information given, the cost price of the automobile is $10000 but the current market price is $6000. If the automobile is old now for $6000 and the money is kept in a bank for.one year at an interest rate of 10%, then the interest gotten on it will be:
= $6000 × 10% × 1
= $600
In a situation whereby the automobile is sold the following year, then the price will be $4,000 and I will get $4,000. Therefore, the cost for keeping the car for an additional year will then be:
= (Current price - Future price) + Interest amount
= ($6,000 - $4,000) + $600
= $2,600.
Assuming a 360-day year, proceeds of $48,750 were received from discounting a $50,000, 90-day note at a bank. The discount rate used by the bank in computing the proceeds was
Answer:
the discount rate should be 10%
Explanation:
The computation of the discount rate should be given below:
The Amount of discount is is
= $50,000 - $48,750
= $ 1,250
The $1,250 should be for 90 days.
So for 360 days, it should be
= $1,250 × 4
= $5,000.
And, the discount rate is
= $5,000 ÷ 50,000 × 100
= 10%
Hence, the discount rate should be 10%
For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model is 350 units, and the total annual inventory (holding and order) cost is $1050. What is the inventory holding cost per unit per year for this item
Answer: $3 per unit per year
Explanation:
Inventory holding cost per unit for this item is:
= Total Annual inventory carrying cost / Average inventory
Total Annual inventory carrying cost = Total annual inventory / 2
= 1,050 / 2
= $525
Average inventory = EOQ / 2
= 350 / 2
= 175 units
Inventory holding cost per unit = 525 / 175
= $3 per unit

Nate borrowed $38,672 from bank and his friends to expand his casino business. Nate set up an aim to pay $2,450 at the end of each week for 16 weeks. Assume each year has 52 weeks. What are the nominal rate per year and the effective interest rate per year?
Answer:
Hence, the Nominal annual rate is 20.28%.
Effective annual rate is 22.43%.
Explanation:
Amount borrowed = $38,672.
Weekly repayment for 16 weeks = $2,500.
Loan repayment = (Loan amount x r) / {1-(1+r)-n}
$2,450 = ($38,672 x r)/{1-(1+r)-16}
r= 0.39%
Weekly interest rate = 0.39%
Nominal annual rate = 0.39 % x 52 weeks = 20.28%
Effective annual rate = [tex](1 + 0.0039^{52} ) - 1[/tex] = 0.2243 = 22.43%
