Answer:
e. Planning and budgeting purposes.
Explanation:
Sales variance analysis is used by managers for planning and budgeting purposes, as this analysis allows managers to better understand the company's sales scenario in a given period in relation to different variables such as budgeted quantity, quantity sold and amount of profit made.
Through analysis, greater control and strategic planning and future budgets are possible so that an organization remains profitable and competitive in the market.
Because of the compounding effect:
a. large yearly growth rates are needed to achieve sustained growth.
b. large yearly growth rates are needed to achieve sustained growth.
c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
d. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
e. interest compounding allow the economy to grow faster.
Answer: c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
Explanation:
If there is even a small change in the rate at which the economy is growing, this increase will increase by even more the year afterward and then even more as time goes on. This is because the interest is being compounded overtime.
Look at the future value formula that shows compounding for instance:
Future value = Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of periods
Assume even a change of 2% in the growth rate. In 30 years, this rate would have increased the economy by:
= 1 * ( 1 + 2%)³⁰
= 1.81
Which is a rate of:
= 1.81 - 1
= 81%
What started off as only 2% became 81% in 30 years. This is what compounding does.
For the remaining questions, please consider the following transactions that happened upon the incorporation of Berry Company by its owner, John Berry, during the first week of January:
· It received €50,000 in cash from John Berry as capital.
· It borrowed €30,000 from a local bank.
· It purchased €15,000 of equipment for cash.
· It purchased €20,000 of inventory on account.
· It pre-paid €3,000 for the office rent and €2,000 for the insurance.
What is the total current assets at the end of the week?
Answer: €100,000
Explanation:
Cash received is an assetThe money borrowed is also cash so assets increaseEquipment was exchanged for cash. Both of them are assets so there is NO EFFECT on assets here. Inventory purchased on account will increase assets because assets were acquired with liabilities in this instance. Prepayments are assets but because this was paid with cash, there is NO EFFECT on assets as they cancel each other out.Total assets at the end of the week are:
= Cash + Cash borrowed + Inventory purchased on account
= 50,000 + 30,000 + 20,000
= €100,000

Joshua borrowed $1,400 for one year and paid $70 in interest. The bank charged him a service charge of $12. If Joshua repaid the loan in 12 equal monthly payments, what is the APR? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
APR %
Answer: 10.81%
Explanation:
The annual percentage rate is the percentage cost of credit on yearly basis.
APR will be calculated
= [(2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1)]
where,
n = number of months = 12
I = Finance cost = Interest + service charge = $70 + $12 = $82
P = Borrowed amount = $1,400
N= Loan period = 12
We'll then slot the values into the annual percentage rate (APR) formula and this will be:
= ( 2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1))
= ( 2 x 12 x 82) /( 1400 x ( 12 + 1))
= 0.1081
=10.81 %
Use the following information to determine the break-even point in units (rounded to the nearest whole unit): Unit sales 53,000
Units Unit selling price $14.65
Unit variable cost $7.80
Fixed costs $189,000
12,901
27,591
8,419
46,545
24,231
Answer:
27,591 units
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in units is shown below:
Contribution margin is
= (Sales - Variable costs)
= ($14.65 - $7.80)
=$6.85
Now
breakeven point in units is
= fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin
= ($189,000 ÷ $6.85)
= 27,591 units
The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 14 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $363.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $8. Imperial Jewelers would also have to buy a special tool for $461 to apply the filigree to the bracelets. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $12.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding partyâs order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Required:
a. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order from the wedding party?
b. Should the company accept the special order?
answers:
the financial advantage = 4,341 dollars
given that there is an advantage, then the project has to be accepted.
Explanation:
total incremental revenue from the 14 bracelets = 14 x 363 = $5082
direct material = 8 x 14 = 112
overhead = 12 x 14 = 168
we have the additional expense for this tool to be 461 dollars
for the special filigree that is to be attached to this bracelet e have
112 + 168 + 461 = $741
a. the financial advantage of accepting this = 5082 - 741 = 4341 dollars
b. given that there is a financial advantage then it is better that this order is accepted.
Joss is a marketing consultant. Iris and Daphne are potential customers interested in commissioning Joss to undertake a market survey and compile the findings in a report. Iris is willing to pay $500 for the service while Daphne is willing to pay $800. Suppose that the opportunity cost of Joss's time is $1,200. Assume that Iris and Daphne do not know each other. Which of the following statements is true?
a. only Iris will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job for her.
b. only Daphne will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job for her.
c. both Iris and Daphne will purchase Joss's services and Joss will undertake the job.
d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.
Answer: d. both Iris and Daphne will want to purchase Joss's services but Joss will not be willing to undertake the job.
Explanation:
Iris will want Joss's services but they will be unable to afford them as Iris is only willing to pay $500 whereas Joss wants $1,200 for the job.
The same goes for Daphne who is only willing to pay $800.
Both of them will therefore want to hire Joss but will be unable to.
Joss could however charge both of them their willingness to pay and then sum the cash up and give them both the research whilst still making a profit.

The Nearside Co. just paid a dividend of $1.65 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent per year, indefinitely. Investors require a return of 12 percent on the stock. a. What is the current price
Answer:
$24.7
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate D1
1.65(1+5/100)
1.65(1+0.05)
1.65(1.05)
=>1.73
Therefore the current price can be calculated as follows
= D1/required rate-growth rate
= 1.73/0.12-0.05
= 1.73/0.07
= 24.7
Hence the current price is $24.7

In a board of directors election for five directors and straight voting, a majority group of shareholders will elect a. four directors. b. five directors. c. four or five depending on how the cumulative voters vote. d. the same proportional share of directors as their ownership share.
Answer: b. five directors
Explanation:
Straight voting refers to a voting convention where shareholders are allowed to cast a single vote towards each director seat for each share they own. This is in contrast to cumulative voting where a single shareholder can decide to cast all their votes to one director.
In such a convention therefore, the majority will elect all five seats because the majority that voted for each seat will decide which director will be elected.
A friend wants to borrow money from you. He states that he will pay you $4,700 every 6 months for 9 years with the first payment exactly 2 years and six months from today. The interest rate is an APR of 5.8 percent with semiannual compounding. What is the value of the payments today
Answer:
PV= $56,508.47
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Semmiannual payment= $4,700
Number of periods (n)= 9*2= 18 semesters
Interest rate= 0.058/2= 0.029
First, we need to calculate the value of the payments at the moment of the first payment:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
A= Semmiannual payment
PV= 4,700*{(1/0.029) - 1/[0.029*(1.029^18)]}
PV= $65,191.42
Now, the present value using the following formula:
PV= FV / (1 +i)^n
n= 2.5*2= 5 semesters
PV= 65,191.42 / (1.029^5)
PV= $56,508.47

ased on a predicted level of production and sales of 22,000 units, a company anticipates total variable costs of $99,000, fixed costs of $30,000, and operating income of $36,000. Based on this information, the budgeted amount of operating income for 20,000 units would be:
Answer:
$142,000
Explanation:
Sales of 22,000 units
Total variable costs is $99,000
The fixed cost is 30,000
Operating income $36,000
Therefore budgeted amount for 20,000 units can be calculated as follows
= 99,000+30,000+36,000
= 156,000
The selling percentage is
=156,000/22,000
= 7.1
7.1× 20,000
= 142,000
Hence the bugected anou t for 30,000 units $142,000

Welcome Inn Hotels is considering the construction of a new hotel for $90 million. The expected life of the hotel is 30 years, with no residual value. The hotel is expected to earn revenues of $26 million per year. Total expenses, including depreciation, are expected to be $15 million per year. Welcome Inn management has set a minimum acceptable rate of return of 14%.
a. Determine the equal annual net cash flows from operating the hotel.
b. Calculate the net present value of the new hotel. Use 7.003 for the present value of an annuity of $1 at 14% for 30 periods.
c. Does your analysis support construction of the new hotel?
Answer:
a. Annual Net cash flows:
= Revenue - Expenses + Depreciation
= 26,000,000 - 15,000,000 + (90,000,000 / 30 years)
= 11,000,000 + 3,000,000
= $14,000,000
b. Net present value:
= Present value of cashflows - Investment cost
= (Annual cashflow * present value of an annuity, 14%, 30 periods) - Investment cost
= (14,000,000 * 7.003) - 90,000,000
= $8,042,000
c. Company should construct the hotel as it would bring a positive Net Present Value
Note: In "b" the cashflow was treated as an annuity because it is constant.
To meet projected annual sales, Bluegill Manufacturers, Inc. needs to produce 75,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 7,000 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 12,000 units. What are projected sales units for the year? fill in the blank 1 units
Answer: 70,000 units
Explanation:
You can use the formula for the ending inventory to get this:
Ending inventory = Opening inventory + Production for the year - Projected sales
12,000 = 7,000 + 75,000 - Projected sales
12,000 + Projected sales = 82,000
Projected sales = 82,000 - 12,000
Projected sales = 70,000 units
Inc. has just now paid a dividend of $2.50 per share (Div0); its dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4 percent per year forever. If the required rate of return on the stock is 14 percent, what is the current value of the stock, after paying the dividend?
a. $26
b. $25
c. $17.86
d. $21.33
Answer: a. $26
Explanation:
Given the details in the question, the value of the stock can be calculated by the Gordon Growth Model:
= Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)
= (Current dividend * growth rate) / (Required return - growth rate)
= (2.50 * (1 + 4%)) / (14% - 4%)
= 2.625 / 10%
= $26.25
= $26
Wildhorse Corporation has fixed costs of $301,500. It has a unit selling price of $9.15, unit variable cost of $7.65, and a target net income of $1,545,000. Compute the required sales in units to achieve its target net income.
Answer:
the required sales in units to attain the target net income is 1,231,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the required sales in units to attain the target net income is given below:
= (Fixed cost + target net income) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)
= ($301,500 + $1,545,000) ÷ ($9.15 - $7.65)
= 1,231,000 units
Hence, the required sales in units to attain the target net income is 1,231,000 units
