Answer:
A. Alternative 1 1.88
Alternative 2 1.73
Incremental Analysis 1.34
B. Alternative 2
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the benefit cost ratio of each machine,
First step is to calculate the present value of each Alternative
ALTERNATIVE 1
Calculation for alternative 1 Benefit and cost
Benefits = ($1500)(P/A, 8%, 15)
Benefits= ($1500)(8.5595)
Benefits= $12,839
Cost = $7,000 – ($500)(P/F, 8%,15)
Cost= $7,000 – ($500)(0.3152)
Cost = $6842
Now let calculate Alternative 1 Ratio of Benefit to Cost using this formula
Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost
Let plug in the formula
Ratio of Benefit to Cost=$12,839/$6842
Ratio of Benefit to Cost= 1.88
Therefore the benefit cost ratio for Alternative 1 is 1.88
ALTERNATIVE 2
Calculation for alternative 2 Benefit and cost
Benefits = ($1900)(P/A, 8%,15)
Benefits= ($1900)(8.5595)
Benefits= $16,263
Cost = $9000 + ($1250)(P/F,8%,15)
Cost= $9000 + ($1250)(0.3152)
Cost=$9394
Now let calculate Alternative 1 Ratio of Benefit to Cost using this formula
Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost
Let plug in the formula
Ratio of Benefit to Cost= $16,263/$9394
Ratio of Benefit to Cost = 1.73
Therefore the benefit cost ratio for Alternative 2 is 1.73
B. In order to know which machine should the company choose we have to determine the incremental analysis for each of the machine
Incremental Analysis = ($16,263- $12,839)/ ($9394 - $6842)
Incremental Analysis= 1.34
Based on the above calculation for Incremental Analysis we can see that the Incremental Analysis is greater than 1 which means that the machine that the company should choose is ALTERNATIVE 2
S14-12 Book Value versus Market Value [LO3] Dinklage Corp. has 7 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $68, and the book value per share is $8. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, a coupon rate of 6 percent, and sells for 97 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $40 million, a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 21 years, the second in 6 years. Both bonds make semiannual payments. a. What are the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis
Answer:
A. .6627
B. .1892
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis
First step is to calculate the book value weights of equity
Book value weights of equity = $7,000,000($8)
Book value weights of equity = $56,000,000
Second step is to calculate the Book value weights of debt
Book value weights of debt = $70,000,000 + 40,000,000
Book value weights of debt = $110,000,000
Third step is to calculate the total value of the company
Total value = $56,000,000 + 110,000,000
Total value = $166,000,000
Fourth step is to calculate the book value weights of equity and debt
Book value weights of equity and debt = $56,000,000/$166,000,000
Book value weights of equity and debt = .3373
Now let calculate capital structure weights on a book value basis using this formula
Capital structure weights on a book value basis= 1 - Book value weights of equity and debt
Let plug in the formula
Capital structure weights on a book value basis=1-.3373
Capital structure weights on a book value basis= .6627
Therefore the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis is .6627
B. Calculation to determine the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis
First step is to calculate the Market Value of Equity
Market Value of Equity = 7,000,000($68)
Market Value of Equity = $476,000,000
Second step is to calculate the Market Value of debt
Market Value of debt = .97($70,000,000) + 1.08($40,000,000)
Market Value of debt = $111,100,000
Third step is to calculate the total market value of the company
Total market value = $476,000,000 + 111,100,000
Total market value = $587,100,000
Fourth Step is to calculate the market value weights of equity and debt
Market value weights of equity and debt = $476,000,000/$587,100,000
Market value weights of equity and debt = .8108
Now let calculate capital structure weights on a market value basis
Using this formula
Capital structure weights on a market value basis = 1 - Market value weights of equity and debt
Let plug in the formula
Capital structure weights on a market value basis =1-.8108
capital structure weights on a market value basis = .1892
Therefore the company's capital structure weights on a market value basis is .1892
Your plan is to work for 40 years after graduations. You will invest monthly. You plan to start at the end of your first month with $300. Historically, the company you will be working for increases salaries at the rate of 6% each year and you expect this to continue. You translate this as 0.5% every month and hence, you plan to increase your monthly investment by 0.5%. Note that your 0.5% investment adjustments will start in the second month of your employment. If these funds are invested in a retirement account that attracts an interest rate of 0.75% per month:
i. Calculate the present worth of your investment.
ii. How much will be in your investment account after 40 years of dumping money into it?
iii. This is the fun part. After getting all this money in (ii), your plan is to take them and reinvest in a low risk funds like bonds. If you put all the amount in a fund that attracts 3% per year compounding monthly, how much equal payment will you receive every month before the funds depletes if you plan to spend all your money over a 40 year period?
Answer:
i. The present worth of the investment is:
= $47,876.51
ii. The investment account will have $9,304,816.43 after 40 years of dumping money into it.
iii. You can withdraw $33,093.11 monthly.

A special piece of equipment must be leased for $75,000 per year for purposes related solely to Project Z. Project Z will reduce sales of the same company’s Project X by 900 units (selling price of $950 with variable cost of $510 and overhead allocation of $32 per unit). What is the total incremental cash flow for Project Z?
The project manager of a task force planning the construction of a domed stadium had hoped to be able to complete construction prior to the start of the next college football season. After reviewing construction time estimates, it now appears that a certain amount of crashing will be needed to ensure project completion before the season opener. Given the following time and cost estimates, determine a minimum-cost crashing schedule that will shave five weeks off the project length. Note: No activity can be crashed more than two weeks.
Answer:
Hello your question has some missing data attached below is the missing data table
answer :
week 1 : C should be crashed at $5000
week 2 : C should be crashed at $5000
week 3 : F should be crashed at $12000
week 4 : F should be crashed at $15000
week 5 : P and E crashes at $20000 + $16000
Explanation:
Normal completion time = 49 weeks
and the critical path : ( C-F-I-J-P )
Estimate the a minimum-cost crashing schedule
At week 1 : the crash ( C )activity should be at $5000 and the completion time here will be 48 weeks
At week 2 : The crash (C ) activity should be made at $5000 hence the completion time here will be 47 weeks
At week 3 : The crash ( F ) activity should be made at $12000 and the completion time will be at 46 weeks
At week 4 : The crash ( F ) activity should be made at $15000 hence the completion time will be set at 45 weeks
At week 5 : The crash activity P will be at $20000 and crash activity E will be at $16000 hence the completion time will be 44 weeks
attached below is the pictorial view of the minimum-cost crashing schedule

On June 30, 2020, Lynch Co. declared and issued a 15 percent stock dividend. Prior to this dividend, Lynch had 50,000 shares of $10 par value common stock issued and outstanding. The market value of Lynch Co.'s common stock on June 30, 2020, was $24 per share. As a result of this stock dividend, by what amount would Lynch's total stockholders' equity increase (decrease)? Group of answer choices
Answer:
$75,000 decrease
Explanation:
The total stockholders' equity decreases by the same amount of dividend distributed. This is so because distributions are made out of the Retained earnings which is a reserve set aside for stockholders and constitutes stockholders' equity.
So we have to calculate the value of dividend distributed. Dividends are calculated using book values instead of market value of stocks as follows :
Dividend = 50,000 x $10 x 15 % = $75,000
The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.70. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $3.6 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$7.95
Explanation:
The computation of the price at which the stock should sell is shown below;
But before we need to determine the following calculations
Sustainable growth rate, g is
= ROE × b
= 9% × (2 ÷3)
= 6%
Now
Cost of Equity = Rf + beta × (Rm - Rf)
= 5% + 1.70 ×(15% - 5%)
= 22%
Now finally the Price is
= D1 ÷ (r - g)
= $3.6 × 1 ÷ 3 × (1 + 6%) ÷ (22% - 6%)
= $7.95

The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.65. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $2.8 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 14%, and T-bills currently offer a 6% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
Answer:
a.
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68 times
Explanation:
a.
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of returnWe first need to calculate the values for D0, g and r.
D0 can be calculate by multiplying the earnings per share by (1 - Plowback Ratio)
D0 = 2.8 * (1 - 2/3)
D0 = $0.93333333333 rounded off to $0.93
To calculate the value of g, we need to multiply the ROE by the Plowback ratio.
g = 0.09 * 2/3
g = 0.06 or 6%
To calculate the value of r, we will use the CAPM equation.
r = risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
r = 0.06 + 1.65 * (0.14 - 0.06)
r = 0.192 or 19.2%
P0 = 0.93333333333 * (1+0.06) / (0.192 - 0.06)
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
The P/E ratio can be calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share.
P/E = 7.49494949492 / 2.8
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68

Culture plays a key role in business. In what ways have movies influenced managerial tasks, company activities, and other ways of doing business around the world?
Can watching foreign films be an effective way of learning how to do business abroad? Justify your answer.
Answer:
In what ways have movies influenced managerial tasks, company activities, and other ways of doing business around the world?
Movies can certainly influence the behavior of managers and other businessmen, specially if they happen to be particularly fond of such movies. However, if the influenced behavior does not lead to good corporate results, it is then likely to be discarded.
Can watching foreign films be an effective way of learning how to do business abroad?
To a certain extent yes, specially if the movies are related to some kind of business activity. However, movies can also display stereotypical behaviors, or deal with subject matter that is not relevant for the business activity, so it is always important to keep in mind that they are not enough to learn how to do business abroad, and that other type of material is needed, like books, or government reports.

Given the following information for Albright Company, what was the total manufacturing cost variance? Manufacturing Costs Actual Costs Standard Cost at Actual Volume Budgeted Cost Direct materials $ 80,300 $ 76,000 $ 71,250 Direct labor 77,000 72,500 68,400 Factory overhead 44,800 48,000 45,600 Total $202,100 $196,500 $185,250 a.$5,600 unfavorable b.$(5,600) favorable c.$16,850 unfavorable d.$3,200 unfavorable
Answer:
Total manufacturing cost variance = $5,600 unfavorable
Explanation:
The total manufacturing cost variance is the difference between the actual total manufacturing cost incurred and the standard manufacturing cost for the actual output achieved.
The manufacturing cost is the sum of the direct material cost and direct labour cost and factory production overhead.
Actual total Manufacturing cost = 202,100
Standard manufacturing cost=$196,500
Variance = $202,100- $196,500=$5,600 unfavorable
Total manufacturing cost variance = $5,600 unfavorable
Brix, Inc., prepares frozen food for fast-food restaurants. It has two workstations, cooking and assembly. The cooking station is limited by the cooking time of the food. Assembly is limited by the speed of the workers. Assembly normally waits on food from cooking. The current production is 3,000 dozen units per month. Because the demand has increased in recent months, management is considering adding another cooking station or else having the cooks in the cooking station start to work earlier. The monthly cost of operating the cooking station one more hour each day is $2,500. The cost of adding another cooking station would add an average of $11 per hour. The current operating hours total eight hours a day, 22 days a month. The contribution margin of the finished products is currently $8 per dozen. Either the extra hour or the new cooking station would increase production by 20 dozen a day. Assuming the company carries no inventory. Required: a. What is the total production per month if the change is made
Answer:
Brix, Inc.The total production per month if the change is made is:
3,440 dozen units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current production per month = 3,000 dozen units
Alternatives Cooking Station Extra Hour of Labor
Monthly cost $2,500
Average cost per hour $11
Current operating hours 8/day
Working days per month 22
Total monthly cost $1,936 ($11 * 8 * 22) $2,500
Add a new cooking station is cheaper by $564 per month since they each produce the same output per day.
Units added by extra hour or the new cooking station = 20 dozen a day
There are 22 days in a month, so the increase monthly = 440 (22 * 20)
Total monthly production will become 3,440 (3,000 + 440)
Argentina is considering constructing a bridge across the Rio de la Plata to connect its northern coast to the southern coast of Uruguay. If this bridge is constructed, it will reduce the travel time from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Sao Paulo, Brazil, by over 10 hours and has the potential to significantly improve the flow of manufactured goods between the two countries. The cost of the new bridge, which will be the longest bridge in the world, spanning over 50 miles, will be $700 million. The bridge will require an annual maintenance of $10 million for repairs and upgrades and is estimated to last 80 years. It is estimated that 550,000 vehicles will use the bridge during the first year of operation, and an additional 50,000 vehicles per year until the tenth year. These data are based on an a toll charge of $90 per vehicle. The annual traffic for the remainder of the life of the bridge life will be 1,000,000 vehicles per year. The Argentine government requires a minimum rate of return of 9% to proceed with the project.
(a) Does this project provide sufficient revenues to offset its costs?
(b) What considerations are there besides economic factors in deciding whether to construct the bridge
Answer:
Argentine Bridge Across the Rio de la Plata
a. The project provides sufficient revenues to offset its costs.
b. Non-economic factors deciding the bridge construction include:
Social connections and enhancement of relationships
Reduction of travel time
Infrastructural development
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Reasons for constructing the bridge:
Connect northern Argentine coast to the southern coast of Uruguay
Reduce travel time from Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo by 10 hours
Improve the flow of manufactured goods between the two countries
Longest bridge in the world, spanning over 50 miles
Cost of the new bridge = $700 million
Annual maintenance cost = 800 million ($10m * 80 years)
Total cost of new bridge $1,500 million
Minimum required rate of return = 9% of $1,500 million ($135 million)
Estimated Revenue from the new bridge:
Vehicles using the bridge:
1st Year to 10th year = 550,000 each
Basic number of vehicles using the bridge = 5,500,000
Additional vehicles per year until tenth year = 50,000
Total additional vehicles = 450,000 (50,000 * 9)
Total number of vehicles using the bridge for the first 10 years = 5,950,000 (5,500,000 + 450,000)
Annual vehicular traffic from 11th year to 80th year = 1 million per year
Total from 11th to 80th year = 70 million ( 1 million * 70)
Overall vehicular traffic throughout the bridge's life = 75,950,000 (70,000,000 + 5,950,000)
Toll charge per vehicle = $90
Total revenue = $6,835,500,000 (75,950,000 * $90)
Information concerning a product produced by Ender Company appears here: Sales price per unit $ 200 Variable cost per unit $ 80 Total annual fixed manufacturing and operating costs $ 600,000 Required Determine the following: Contribution margin per unit. Number of units that Ender must sell to break even. Sales level in units that Ender must reach to earn a profit of $240,000. Determine the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The contribution margin per unit is
As we know that
Contribution margin per unit = Sale Price - Variable Cost
= $200 - $80
= $120
2. The break even sales in units is
= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $600,000 ÷ $120
= 5,000 units
3. The sales units that earned $240,000 is
Required Sales (in units) = (Fixed Cost + Desired Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Per unit
= ($600,000 + $240,000) ÷ $120
= 7,000 units
4. The margin of safety in units, sales dollars & percentage is
The Margin of Safety (in Units)
= Sales - Break even Sales
= (7,000 - 5,000) units
= 2,000 units
The Margin of Safety (in dollars)
= Margin of Safety (in units) × Sale Price
= 2,000 units × $200
= $400,000
Margin Of Safety (in percentage) is
= (Actual Sales - Break even sales) ÷ Actual Sales
= (7,000 units -5,000 units) ÷ 7,000 units
= 28.57%

3. Debit Interest expense for $819; and Credit Interest payable for $819.
4. Debit Salaries expense for $4,659; Credit for Salaries payable for $4,659.
Explanation:
Note: The correct date in the requirement is 2022 not 2017 as mistakenly stated.
The adjusting journal entries will look as follows:
Date Accounts Title & Explanation Debit ($) Credit ($)
Dec. 31 Insurance expense (w.1) 8,976
Prepaid insurance 8,976
(To record insurance expenses)
Dec. 31 Unearned revenue 86,280
Rent revenue (w.2) 86,280
(To record rent revenue.)
Dec. 31 Interest expense (w.3) 819

(To record salaries accrued.)
Workings:
w.1. Prepaid Insurance $16,824. The company has separate insurance policies on its buildings and its motor vehicles. Policy B4564 on the building was purchased on July 1, 2021, for $10,080. The policy has a term of 3 years. Policy A2958 on the vehicles was purchased on January 1, 2022, for $8,424. This policy has a term of 18 months.
Expired insurance Policy B4564 adjustment = $10,080 / 3 = $3,360
Expired insurance Policy A2958 adjustment = ($8,424 /18 months) * 12 months = $5,616
Total insurance expense = Expired insurance Policy B4564 adjustment + Expired insurance Policy A2958 adjustment = $3,360 + $5,616 = $8,976
w.2. Unearned Rent Revenue $314,240. The company began subleasing office space in its new building on November 1. At December 31, the company had the following rental contracts that are paid in full for the entire term of the lease.
Earned revenue = Monthly rent * Accrued month * Number of lease
Therefore, we have:
Total earned revenue = ($5,380 * 2 * 5) + ($8,120 * 1 * 4) = $86,280
w.3. Notes Payable $46,800. This balance consists of a note for 6 months at an annual interest rate of 7%, dated October 1.
Interest expense on note payable = Principal * Rate * Time = $46,800 * 7% * (3 / 12) = $819
w.4. Salaries and Wages Payable $0. There are 11 salaried employees. Salaries are paid every Friday for the current week. 5 employees receive a salary of $635 each per week, and 6 employees earn $ 765 each per week. Assume December 31 is a Wednesday. Employees do not work weekends. All employees worked the last 3 days of December.
Total salaries accrued = (5 employees * $635 each per week * 3/5 days) + (6 employees * $765 each per week * 3/5 days) = $4,659
Roy Wilton is a CPA who recently made a poor investment.

a. This demonstrates a violation of understandability, given that Roy did not comprehend all relevant information.
b. This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, as Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so.
c. This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, but rather completeness, as Roy’s understanding was incomplete.
d. This demonstrates a violation of understandability, as CPAs should be able to rely on the financial statements alone.
Answer: This does not demonstrate a violation of understandability, as Roy did not bother to read the footnotes but could have understood them if he did so
Explanation:
Even though Roy examined the financial statements of the firm, as stated above, he didn't read the accompanying footnotes, and hence, he did not comprehend the underlying context of the financial statements.

Less: Allocated corporate overhead = $301,500
Less: Other general and administration = $549,000
Operating income = $544500
For Coastal Region:
Sales: = $9,520,000
Less: cost of goods sold = $4,840,000
Gross margin = $4,680,000
Less: Allocated corporate overhead = $714,000
Less: Other general and administration = $3,710,000
Operating income = $256000
b. What are the gross margin and operating margin percentages for both divisions?

= Gross margin/Sales
= $1,395,000/$4,020,000 × 100
= 34.7%
Gross margin percentage for Coastal region
= Gross margin/Sales
= $4,680,000/$9,520,000 × 100
= 49.2%
Operating margin percentage for Lake region
= Operating income / Sales × 100
= $544500/$4,020,000 × 100.
= 13.5%
Operating margin percentage for Coastal region
= $256000/$9,520,000 × 100

It is also defined as discussion process or procedures by which two or more parties aim for mutually acceptable agreement. Those involved are called negotiators.

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engaged in free trade in tuna. Explain why.
(1). The German consumers pay a higher price for tuna.
(2). The German producers receive a higher price for tuna.
(3). The world price of tuna increases.
(4). The tariff makes Vietnam, a tuna exporting country, worse off.
(5). Vietnamese tuna consumers suffer because of the tariff.
Answer:
1. This is true.
The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.
2. This is true.
German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.
3. This statement is false.
The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.
4. This statement is true.
If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.
5. This is false.
Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.
