A firm is considering moving from the United States to Mexico. The firm pays its U.S. workers $30.00 per hour. Currently, U.S. workers have a marginal product of 45 units, whereas Mexican workers have a marginal product of 9 units. In order for the firm to reduce its wage cost per unit of output by moving to Mexico, the wages in Mexico must be below_________per hour.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $6.00

Explanation:

From the question, we can see that the productivity in the United States is (45/9) = 5 times higher than that of Mexico.

Therefore, the wages in Mexico should be 5 times lower than the wages paid to the workers in the United States. This will be:

= $30.00 / 5

= $6.00

Therefore, in order for the firm to reduce its wage cost per unit of output by moving to Mexico, the wages in Mexico must be below $6.00 per hour.

Answers

Answer:

$13,395

Explanation:

Finished Goods Inventory = Production Cost x Ending Units / Units Produced

where,

Production Cost is Calculated as :

Consider only production costs.

Production Cost = $15,085 + $10,200 + $9,200 = $34,485

Ending Units = 6,050 units - 3,700 units = 2,350 units

Units Produced = 6,050 units

therefore,

Finished Goods Inventory = $34,485 x 2,350 units/ 6,050 units = $13,395

Based on the information given the partner that must recognize the built­in gain is RYCE

B. Calculation to determine the amount recognized

Using this formula

Amount recognized=Fair market value-Adjusted basis

Let plug in the formula

Amount recognized=$152,400-$101,600

Amount recognized=$50,800

Therefore the amount recognized is $50,800

C. Based on the information given the effect on that partner's basis in the partnership interest is that the basis amount in the partnership interest would be INCREASED by the amount of gain that was recognized or Realized.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. As a result of the increase in real interest rates, consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports will all (decrease).

When there is a rise in the interest rate, the coat if borrowing will increase as well, therefore, this will lead to the reduction in investment and consumption and there's also a reduction in the net exports.

b. With the increase in real interest rates, output will (decrease), inflation will (decrease) and unemployment will .(increase).

When the real interest rate increase, the output will reduce as well as inflation since there'll be reduction in demand for goods and services and hence unemployment rises.

c. The situation that can lead the FOMC to consider increasing rates include

• high inflation and a large positive output gap.

• a large positive output gap.

• high inflation

Therefore, the exception will be a negative output gap and low inflation.

Leaders at ElectroExpo Inc. want to develop a results-oriented organizational culture. To do this, they devise a new system to maintain project logs in order to record any lags in project execution. They also encourage their employees to work on every alternate Saturday of a month in order to increase productivity in exchange for additional compensation. However, the leaders face stiff resistance from the employees because they are not comfortable with this change. In this case, which of the following steps should the leaders take?

a. The leaders should take legal actions against the employees who oppose the change or who instigate other employees to resist the change.
b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.
c. The leaders should promise to fulfill all the demands of the employees and empower them to make important business decisions.
d. The leaders should lay off the employees who are resisting the changes in the organization.

Answers

Answer: b. The leaders should find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed

Explanation:

With regards to the information given in the question, the best option will be for the leaders to find ways to enable the employees to see the value in changes that are needed for the organization to succeed.

In every organization, communication is key between the management and the employees. In this case, the leaders should inform the employees about the reason that they are taking the decision and how the decision will have an impact on the organization.

Taking legal steps against the employees or laying them off isn't the right thing to do. The employees should be made to see the value in the changes to be made.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Identify the type of bond based on each description given below:

a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy.
b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral.
c. They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company.
d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates.

Answers

Answer:

a. These bonds are collateralized securities with first claims in the event of bankruptcy. SENIOR MORTGAGE BONDS.

A senior mortgage bond is one whose collateral is one or more properties. Mortgage bonds generally have priority over other types of bonds and a senior mortgage bond has priority over other mortgage bonds.

b. These bonds are not backed by any physical collateral.  They are backed by the reputation and creditworthiness of the issuing company. DEBENTURES

Debentures have no physical collateral backing them and are only back by the reputation of the company. This therefore makes them a bit high risk and so their rates are higher.

d. These bonds are considered the riskiest of all corporate bonds and thus offer the highest interest rates. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES.

Debentures have higher than normal rates so subordinated debentures will be quite risky. They command the highest rates as a result because in the event of a default, their claim on assets is last.

Budget philosophies There are several important philosophies regarding budget balances. One way in which they differ is in terms of the time span over which the budget should be balanced. Another difference among budget philosophies involves whether the budget balance is as important as other economic goals. Which of the following budget philosophies advocates keeping the budget in balance every year, except during wartime?
Functional finance
Annually balanced budget
Cyclically balanced budget
A major problem with the implementation of this philosophy is that it:________
Magnifies business cycle fluctuations
Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits
Relies upon government officials to budget for surpluses during boom times in order to cover deficits during recessions

Answers

Answer:

functional finance

Can allow the national debt to burgeon with chronic deficits

Explanation:

Functional finance is a theory developed by Abba P. Lerne during the World War II. It encourages the government's intervention in the economy to achieve its goals and reduce economic insecurity. It is the current budget philosophy in the US

Advantage

It allows the government to stabilise the economy using fiscal policy

Disadvantage

it encourages deficit spending and this can increase the debt of a country

Annually balanced budget is a budget where at the end of every year, revenue must equal expenditure. this type of budget can magnify the business cycle.

A Cyclically balanced budget is when in a recession, the government makes use of expansionary fiscal policy and in a boom, the government makes use of a contractionary fiscal policy to stabilise the economy

Knight forward, a division of King Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Knight forward division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $14,000 per year

Required:
What is the division’s ROI?

Answers

Answer:

20% and no

Explanation:

The computation of the return on the investment is shown below:

= Net operating income ÷ average operating assets

= $60,000 ÷ $300,000

= 20%

Now based on the investment and extra net operating income

The return on the investment is

= Net operating income ÷ average operating assets

= ($60,000 + $14,000) ÷ ($300,000 - $100,000)

= $74,000÷ $400,000

= 18.5%

Since this ROI would be less than the above ROI so the investment should not be made

Misterio Company uses a standard costing system. During the past quarter, the following variances were computed:
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 24,000 U
Direct labor efficiency variance 120,000 U
Direct labor rate variance 10,400 U
Misterio applies variable overhead using a standard rate of $2 per direct labor hour allowed. Two direct labor hours are allowed per unit produced. (Only one type of product is manufactured.) During the quarter, Misterio used 30 percent more direct labor hours than should have been used.
Required:
1. What were the actual direct labor hours worked? The total hours allowed?
2. What is the standard hourly rate for direct labor? The actual hourly rate?
3. How many actual units were produced?

Answers

Answer:

1. Total hours allowed = 40,000

  Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.

2. Standard hourly rate = $10

   Actual rate = $10.2

3. Actual output= 20,000 units

Explanation:

The variable overhead efficiency variance in hours= variable overhead efficiency variance in Dollar/Variable overhead standard rate

= $24,000/$2= 12,000 hours unfavorable

Let the actual hours be V

Let the standard hours for the actual output achieved be = V

The actual hours worked = 130% of the standard hours allowed

Actual hours =130% × V = 1.3V

1.3V - V= 12,000

V=12000/0.3=40,000

Total hours allowed = 40,000

Actual labour hours= 130%× 40,000=52,000

Total hours allowed = 40,000

Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.

Standard labour rate =

Labour effciency variance in Dollar /Labour efficiency variance in hours

= 120,000/12,000=$10

Standard hourly rate = $10

Rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate)× Actual hours

Let the actual rate be = Y

      10,400   = ( Y - 10) × 52,000

10,400= 52000Y- 520,000

Y= (520,000 + 10,400)/52,000=10.2

Actual rate = $10.2

Standard labour hours for actual output = Actual output × standard hours

Let the actual output be = m

40,000 = m × 2

m= 40,000/2= 20,000 units

Actual output= 20,000 units

Suppose over the next year Ball Corporation has a return of 12.5%, Lowes Companies has a return of 20%, and Abbott Labs has a return of -10%. The return on your portfolio over the year is:

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%

Explanation:

The portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the portfolio return is as follows,

Portfolio return = wA * rA  +  wB * rB  +  ...  +  wN * rN

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolior represents the return of each stock

First we need to calculate the investment of each stock,

Abbott = 200 * 50 = $10000

Lowes = 200 * 30 = $6000

Ball = 100 * 40 = $4000

Portfolio return = (10000 / 20000) * -0.10  +  (6000/20000) * 0.20  +  

(4000/20000) * 0.125

Portfolio return = 0.035 or 3.5%

The Baldwin Company has just purchased $40,900,000 of plant and equipment that has an estimated useful life of 15 years. Suppose at the end of 15 years this plant and equipment can be salvaged for $4,090,000 (1/10th of its original cost). What will be the book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use

Answers

Answer:

$38,446,000

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period the asset is in  used in the business

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life

therefore,

Depreciation expense = $2,454,000

Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

therefore for first year,

Book Value = $40,900,000 - $2,454,000 = $38,446,000

Conclusion

The book value of this purchase (excluding all other Plant and Equipment) after its first year of use is $38,446,000

Sunrise, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $245,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $19,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 25 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 40 percent lower. The company is considering a $58,800 debt issue with an interest rate of 8 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem. Assume the stock price is constant under all scenarios.

Required:
a. Calculate earnings per share, EPS, under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.
b. Repeat part (a) assuming that the company goes through with recapitalization. What do you observe?

Answers

Answer:

Sunrise, Inc.

a. Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios before debt is issued:

Scenarios       EBIT      EPS                                  Percentage Changes

Normal       $19,000  $3.80 ($19,000/5,000)

Expansion $23,750  $4.75 ($23,750/5,000)    25% ($0.95/$3.80 * 100)

Recession  $11,400  $2.28 ($11,400/5,000)      40% ($1.52/$3.80 * 100)

b. After capitalization, Earnings per share (EPS) under the three economic scenarios:

Repurchase of stock = $58,800/$49 = 1,200 shares

Outstanding shares = 3,800 (5,000 - 1,200)

Interest expense = $4,700 approx.

Net Income (taxes ignored) = $14,300

Scenarios                   Net income                

Normal                       $14,300 ($19,000 - $4,700 Interest)    

Strong Expansion     $17,875 ($14,300 * 1.25)

Recession                 $8,580 ($14,300 * 0.60)

Scenarios  Net income      EPS                           Percentage Changes

Normal       $14,300     $3.76 ($14,300/3,800)

Expansion  $17,875     $4.70 ($17,875/3,800)    25% ($0.94/$3.76 * 100)

Recession  $8,580     $2.25 ($8,580/3,800)     40% ($1.51/$3.76 * 100)

Observation:

The EPS changed under each scenario when the debt was issued, but the percentage changes remained similar to the changes before the debt issue.   This can be attributed to the change in the outstanding shares from 5,000 to 3,800.  With the debt issue, the EBIT is not used in the calculations but the income after taxes.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total market value = $245,000

Outstanding shares = 5,000

Market price per share = $49 ($245,000/5,000)

EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes) = $19,000 (normal economic condition)

Scenarios                   EBIT                

Normal                       $19,000    

Strong Expansion     $23,750 ($19,000 * 1.25)

Recession                 $11,400 ($19,000 * 0.60)

Blue Point Company is formulating its marketing expense budget for the month of September. Sales in units for August amounted to 4,000; sales volume in September is expected to increase by 10%. So far for the current year, fixed marketing expense per month amounted to $5,000 of salaries and $1,500 of depreciation. Variable marketing expense amount to $.15 paid in cash in the month of sale. What is the estimated cash payment for marketing expense in the month of September

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Computation of estimated cash payment expense is seen below

Variable expenses

Sales in unit for August 4,000

Sales in unit September 4,000 × 110% = 4,400

Total variable expense 4,400 × $0.15 = $660

Fixed expense per quarter

Salaries $5,000 × 3 = $15,000

Depreciation $1,500 × 3 = $4,500

Total = $19,500

Budget total = $20,160

Estimated cash payment = $20,160 - $4,500 = $15,660

Miller, Inc. has 5,000 shares of 6%, $400 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100,000 shares of $4 par value common stock outstanding. There were no dividends declared in 2015. The board of directors declared and paid dividends of $200,000 each in 2016 and 2017. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

Answers

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

First step is to calculate the preferred stock

Preferred stock=(5,000 shares*$400)*6%

Preferred stock=$2,000,000*6%

Preferred stock=$120,000

Now let calculate the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017

Dividend Received=($200,000-$120,000)/2

Dividend Received=$80,000/2

Dividend Received=$40,000

Therefore the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2017 will be$40,000
