A firm have an inventory turnover of 5 times a year on a cost of goods sold of $800 000.if the firm improves the inventory turnover to 8 times a year while the cost of goods sold remains the same, which of the following statement is true?
A)$100,000 is additionally invested in purchasing stock
b)$160,000 is released into working capital
c)$60,000 is additionally invested in purchasing stock
d)$60,000 is released into working capital

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d)$60,000 is released into working capital

Explanation:

Inventory turnover gives the number of times that a business buys and sells inventory. A high inventory means that a business moves its stock fast, thereby generating cash.

The formula for inventory turnover ratio

=Cost of goods sold/ average inventory

If a firm has COGS of $800,000 and an inventory turnover of 5, then the average inventory will be

=$800,000 /5

= $160,000

should the firm improve turnover to 8, then the average inventory will be

=$800,000/8

=$100,000

It means the firm will be requiring an average inventory of $100,000 as opposed to $160,000 previously. The difference ($60,000) is to be released to working capital.

A machine costs $5240 and produces benefits of $1000 at the end of each year for 8 years. Assume an annual interest rate of 10%. What is the payback period (in years)

Answers

Answer:

5.24 years

Explanation:

the payback period = $5,240 / $1,000 = 5.24 years

The payback period is the amount of time it takes a project to generate enough cash to cover the initial investment required to carry it out.

You can also calculate the discounted payback period which first calculates the present value of each cash flow:

PV of cash flow 1 = $909.09PV of cash flow 2 = $826.45PV of cash flow 3 = $751.31PV of cash flow 4 = $683.01PV of cash flow 5 = $620.92PV of cash flow 6 = $564.47PV of cash flow 7 = $513.16PV of cash flow 8 = $466.51

in this case, the discounted payback period = 7.8 years

Mr. David decision to increase inventory holdings resulted from the consistent pressure of Golden Cup’s Board of Directors to increase amount of inventories. Mr. David’s own opinion was that Golden cup is holding enough inventory to keep the business running without costing the company lots of money on inventory carrying costs. On the other hand, BOD believes that in such a dynamic industry, holding more inventory is necessary to keep smooth business operations.


Required:

a. How long does it currently take the company to turnover its inventory?

b. Do you agree with Mr. David’s opinion? Or, With the BOD? And why? Knowing that industry average inventory turnover is 8.

Answers

Answer:

the information is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the attached image:

a) days inventory on hand = (average inventory / cost of goods sold) x 365 = ($14,000 / $120,000) x 365 = 42.58 days

b) inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory = $120,000 / $14,000 = 8.57

I agree with Mr. David because the inventory turnover ratio of Golden Cup is already higher than the industry's average. That means that Golden Cup's current inventory level is appropriate and increasing it would only result in higher costs but would have very little influence on the company's sales.

Sales commissions: 40,000
Salary of production supervisor: 20,000
Indirect materials: 4000
Advertising expense: 8000
Rent on factory equipment: 10000

California Company estimates that 10,000 machine hours will be worked during the year. The predetermined overhead rate per machine hour will be:__________

Answers

Answer:

$3.40 Per Machine Hour

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

As we know that

Predetermined overhead rate is

= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated machine hours

where,

Estiamted Manuafctuing overheads is

= Salary of Prodcution Supervisior + Indirect Material + rent on Factory Equipment

= $20,00 + $4,000 + $10,000

= $34,000

And, the estimated machine hours is 10,000

So, the predetermined overhead rate is

= $34,000 ÷ 10,000

= $3.40 Per Machine Hour

On December 31, 2019, Hamilton Inc. sold a used industrial crane for $1,000,000 cash.

What is the gain or loss from the December 31, 2019 equipment sale?a. $910,000 gain.b. $90,000 gain.c. $910,000 loss.d. $90,000 loss.

Answers

Answer:

Gain= $90,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $1,000,000

Original price= $5,220,000

Accumulated depreciation= $4,310,000

First, we need to calculate the book value:

Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 5,220,000 - 4,310,000

Book value= $910,000

Now, if the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale:

Gain/loss= selling price - book value

Gain/loss= 1,000,000 - 910,000

Gain= $90,000

Meadow Company produces hand tools. A sales budget for the next four months is as follows: March 10,800 units, April 13,300, May 16,100 and June 21,200. Meadow Company’s ending finished goods inventory policy is 20% of the following month’s sales. March 1 beginning inventory is projected to be 2,160 units. How many units will be produced in March?

Answers

Answer:

Production= 11,300 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

March 10,800 units

April 13,300

Meadow Company’s ending finished goods inventory policy is 20% of the following month’s sales.

March 1 beginning inventory is projected to be 2,160 units.

To calculate the production for March, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 10,800 + (13,300*0.2) - 2,160

Production= 11,300 units

Answer the following questions.
What is the cost of the asset being depreciated?

Cost of asset $

Answers

Answer:

$69,000

Explanation:

The double-declining method uses twice the rate of the straight-line depreciation method.  

In this case, we need to determine the depreciation rate under the straight-line method. The asset has a useful life of 5 years.

the depreciation rate = 1/5 x 100

=0.2 x 100

=20%

The Depreciation rate for the double-declining method is 40%. The straight-line method considers salvage value at the beginning, but double-declining depreciates until the salvage value.

In the first year under the double-declining method, the depreciation amount was $27,600.

It means 40% of the asset cost is $27,600.

The asset cost is 100%

40%=$27,600

100% = 27,600/40 x 100

=$690 x 100

=$69,000

Asset cost = $69,000

Answers

Answer:

The six-month futures price is $152.88

Explanation:

Asset Price Sо = $150

Time T= 6/12 = 0.5

Risk free interest rate = 7%

Dividend yield = 3.2%

Fо = Sо e^(r-q)*r

Fо = $150 e^(0.07-0.032)0.07

Fо = $150 e^(0.038)0.07

Fо = $150 e^(0.019)

Fо = $152.8772

Fо = $152.88

Oriole's Copy Shop bought equipment for $458400 on January 1, 2020. Oriole estimated the useful life to be 3 years with no salvage value, and the straight-line method of depreciation will be used. On January 1, 2021, Oriole decides that the business will use the equipment for a total of 5 years. What is the revised depreciation expense for 2021?

Answers

Answer:

the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120

Explanation:

The computation of the revised depreciation is shown below:

Annual Depreciation is

= $458,400 ÷ 3 years

= $152,800

Now the book value would be

= $458,400 - $152,800

= $305,600

Now the revised depreciation is

= $305,600 ÷ 5 years

= $61,120

Hence, the revised depreciation expense for 2021 is $61,120
