This can be seen in both the in accounts receivable turnover and the in the collection period.
Answer:
Sigmon Inc.
1. Accounts receivable turnover = Sales/Average accounts receivable
20Y3 = 8.49x
20Y2 = 7.75x
2. Number of days sales in receivables = 365/Accounts receivable turnover
20Y3 = 43 days
20y2 = 47.1 days
3. The collection of accounts receivable has improved from 47.1 days to 43 days. This can be seen in both the in accounts receivable turnover and the in the collection period.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Terms of all sales are 2/10, n/45
20Y3 20Y2 20Y1
Accounts receivable, end of year $710,000 $630,000 $565,000
Sales on account 5,691,000 4,628,500
Average accounts receivable 670,000 597,500
1. Accounts receivable turnover = Sales/Average accounts receivable
20Y3 = 8.49x ($5,691,000/$670,000)
20Y2 = 7.75x ($4,628,500/$597,500)
2. Number of days sales in receivables = 365/Accounts receivable turnover
20Y3 = 43 days (365/8.49)
20y2 = 47.1 days (365/7.75)
A fast-food restaurant buys hamburger buns from a national bakery supplier. The daily usage of buns at the restaurant is normally distributed with an average of 160 and standard deviation of 10. It takes 4 days for the supplier to deliver. The purchasing agent at the restaurant has established a 99.7% service level.
a) The Safety Stock and Reorder Point for the restaurant (in whole numbers). A fast-food restaurant buys hamburger buns from a local bakery. To estimate its costs, the restaurant assumes now those buns are used at the constant rate of 100 per day and are purchased at $0.025 per bun. It costs $1 for each order placed and the annual inventory holding cost per unit is 25% of the unit purchase cost.
b) How much should be ordered each time to minimize the restaurant’s total annual costs?c) And what is the length of order cycles (i.e. time between orders) in days? Assume the restaurant operates 360 days per year.
Answer:
Thus, from the calculations below;
The safety stock = 55
The reorder point = 695
quantity required to be ordered in order to reduce and minimize total annual cost for the restaurant = 3394 buns
The order cycles length = 34 days
Explanation:
From the given information:
The average demand (d) = 160
The standard deviatiion [tex]\sigma_d[/tex] = 10
Lead time = 4 days
Service level = 99.7% = 0.997
From the Standard Normal Curve; the z value at 99.7% = 2.75
The annual demand (D) = 36000
Ordering cost = $1
Unit purchased Cost = $0.025
The holding cost for the annual inventory = 25% of 0.025 = 0.00625
The reorder point can be determined by using the formula:
[tex]= \bar d \times Lead \ time +z\times \sigma_d \times \sqrt{LT}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{ = 160\ \times4+2.75 \times10 \times\sqrt{4}}[/tex]
= 695
The safety stock SS = [tex]z \times \sigma_d \times \sqrt{LT}[/tex]
[tex]= 2.75 \times 10 \times \sqrt{4}[/tex]
= 55
The economic order quality = [tex]\sqrt{2 \times D \times \dfrac{ordering \ cost }{annua l\ holding \ cost}}[/tex]
[tex]= \sqrt{2 \times 36000 \times \dfrac{1 }{0.00625}}[/tex]
=3394.11
The order cycle length = [tex]\dfrac{EOQ}{D}\times 360[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{3394.11}{36000}\times 360[/tex]
= 33.94
≅ 34 days
The initial value of your 401k savings plan is $35,000. The value your 401k savings plan at a later point in time is $44,500. The percent change in the value of your 401k plan over the period is
Answer: 27.14%
Explanation:
Percent change in value of 401k = (Ending value - Initial value) / Initial value * 100%
= (44,500 - 35,000) / 35,000 * 100%
= 9,500 / 35,000 * 100%
= 27.14%
When one gas station lowers its price a penny, the station on the other corner of the intersection lowers its price, followed by the gas stations on the next block, and so on, until nearly every gas station in town has lowered its price. This situation illustrates ________.a. a differentiation strategy.b. intense rivalry among competitors.c. the treat of substitutes.d. a cost leadership strategy.
Answer:
b. intense rivalry among competitors.
Explanation:
In the market place competitors exist trying to gain an upper hand over each other. They do this by adopting a strategy that will give them an edge over the other firms.
Some examples of strategy used by competitors to get ahead include differentiation strategy and price leadership strategy.
In the given scenario one gas station lowers its price a penny. Because of intense rivalry between competitors they did not allow the gas station maintain the price advantage.
Rather the station on the other corner of the intersection lowers its price, followed by the gas stations on the next block, and so on, until nearly every gas station in town has lowered its price.

Total materials variance $enter a dollar amount select an option Materials price variance $enter a dollar amount select an option Materials quantity variance $enter a dollar amount select an option Total labor variance $enter a dollar amount select an option Labor price variance $enter a dollar amount select an option Labor quantity variance
Answer:
Materials price variance $5,100 F
Materials quantity variance $4,075 U
Total labor variance $2,500 U
Labor price variance $620 F
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Actual Standard
Labor rate per hour $16 $15.50
Material price per ton $160 $163
Labor hours 5,000 5,040
Materials 1,700 1,675
a) Total price variance for materials = Standard price per ton - Actual price per ton * Actual materials
= $163 - $160 * 1,700
= $5,100 F
b) Total quantity variance for materials = Standard quantity - Actual quantity * Standard price
= 1,675 - 1,700 * $163
= 25 * $163
= $4,075 U
c) Total price variance for labor = Standard rate per hour - Actual rate per hour * Actual labor hours
= $15.50 - $16 * 5,000
= -$0.50 * 5,000
= $2,500 U
d) Total quantity variance for labor = Standard labor hours - Actual labor hours * Standard rate
= 5,040 - 5,000 * $15.50

What is the importance of computer applications in the business domain? How Computer applications support businesses to work ubiquitously? Give valid reasoning with examples.
Answer:
Explanation:
The importance of computer applications in the business domain is that it allows for the automatization of daily tasks. This is also the reason why businesses that implement such applications are able to work ubiquitously. The software applications are designed to automate all of the tasks that the business needs and perform them quickly and efficiently, if a certain task is not able to be automated then the software still makes completing the task by only requiring user input for the absolutely necessary parts of the task. One example of this would be a logistics application for businesses where inventory is automatically calculated as sales go through and automatically replenished by sending inventory requests to suppliers.

At the end of December 2013, Rosenfeld Co. had $10,000 of Deferred Tax Assets related to its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. In response to low public approval ratings (and after a particularly boisterous holiday party), the US Congress passed a law to reduce the Federal Statutory Tax Rate from 35% to 20% on December 31, 2013. As a US company, Rosenfeld had to immediately adjust the balance of its DTAs based on the new law. Which of the following items would be decreased by the entry to adjust the balance in Deferred Tax Assets?
a. Income Tax Payable.b. Income Tax Expense.c. Net Income.d. Deferred Tax Assets.e. Cash from Operating Activities.
Answer:
Rosenfeld Co.
The item decreased by the entry to adjust the balance in Deferred Tax Assets is:
d. Deferred Tax Assets.
Explanation:
Deferred Tax Assets on December 31 = $10,000
Federal Statutory Tax Rate = 35%
New Federal Statutory Tax Rate = 20%
The balance in the Deferred Tax Assets will be reduced to $5,714 ($10,000/35% * 20%)
This means that the Deferred tax assets will be decreased by $4,286 while the net income will be increased by $4,286.

A potential complication for successful price discrimination is a. multiple demand elasticities among consumers. b. the presence of a price maker in a market full of price takers. c. a product or service for which consumers value differently. d. other industry firms also practicing price discrimination. e. the potential for consumers to resell a product or service.
Answer: e. the potential for consumers to resell a product or service
Explanation:
Price discrimination refers to a practice by a producer/seller where they sell the same goods at different prices to different markets in order to make more profit.
Problems can arise if customers begin to resell these goods because some customers could buy it from markets where the producer charges less and sell it in markets where the producer charges more which would allow them to make profit at the producer's expense because they would be competing with the producer with the producer's own goods.
Which of the following statements are TRUE? A firm's entry/exit decision is about: I. whether profits are positive or negative now. II. whether the stream of future profits is positive or negative. III. government regulations.
Answer: Whether profits are positive or negative now
II. Whether the stream of future profits is positive or negative
Explanation:
It should be noted that In a perfectly competitive industry in the long run, there'll be new firms that will enter the market when the already existing firms are making profit.
In the case of a loss, there'll be an exit. Therefore, the true is that a firm's entry or exit decision is about whether profits are positive or negative now and also whether the stream of future profits is positive or negative.
Therefore, the correct option is and II
The equilibrium price is: unstable because at this price the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplied. stable because at this price the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. stable because at this price all buyers are willing and able to pay. unstable because at this price the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied.
Answer:
stable because at this price the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. The price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider.
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
Generally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.
If a bank holds $450,000 in required reserves, and $1.8 million in total deposits, then the deposit expansion multiplier is:______.
a. 0.25
b. 2
c. 4
d. 5
e. 10
Answer:
4
Explanation:
A bank holds 450,000 in required reserves
The bank also hold 1,800,000 in total deposits
Therefore the deposits expansion multiplier can be calculated as follows
= 1,800,000/450,000
= 4
Hence the deposits expansion multiplier is 4
An investment project has annual cash inflows of $4,200, $5,100, $6,300, and $5,500, and a discount rate of 15 percent. a. What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $6,900
Answer:
It will take 1 year and 307 days to cover the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $6,900
Cash flows:
Cf1= $4,200
Cf2= $5,100
Cf3= $6,300
Cf4= $5,500
Discount rate= 15%
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment. We need to discount each cash flow.
Year 1= 4,200/1.15 - 6,900= -3,247.83
Year 2= 5,100/1.15^2 - 3,247.83= 608.50
To be more accurate:
(3,247.83 / 3,856.33)*365= 307 days
It will take 1 year and 307 days to cover the initial investment.
Interest earning of 3% with a $450 minimum balance average monthly balance of $900 monthly service charge of $11 for falling below the minimum balance which occurs five times a year no interest earned in the month. What is the net annual cost
Answer:
$39.25
Explanation:
Given that Interest earning = 3 percent
minimum balance = $450
average monthly balance = $900
monthly service charge = $11
Occurrence period = 5 times
Hence, Net annual cost = Service charges - Interest earnings
=> Service Charge = (5 × $11) - Interest earnings (7 / 12)(0.03 × $900)
= $55 - $15.75
= $39.25
Therefore, the final answer to this question is $39.25

Short term investments = Total current assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts receivable - Inventory
= $100,800 - $5,600 - $26,000 - $66,000
= $3,200
3)
Retained earnings = Property plant and equipment + Total current assets - Total liabilities - Paid in capital
where,
Total liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries payable + Accrued interest + Notes payable
= $45,000 + $17,000 + $1,000 + $36,000
= $99,000
SO,
Retained earnings = $150,000 + $100,800 - $99,000 - $130,000
= $21,800
assume that a compan operates a fleet of limousines if a limo is driven 80,000 miles during a year its average is 25 cents per mile. driven only 60,000 miles operating cost is 30 cents per mile high low method, what is the estimated fixed cost per year
Answer:
The answer is "$12000".
Explanation:
Calculating the total cost:
when 80,000 miles[tex]=(80,000\times 0.25)=\$20,000[/tex]
when 60,000 miles[tex]=(60,000\times 0.3)=\$18000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Calculating the per mile variable cost} =\frac{[\text{Total cost of highest level-Total cost of lowest level}]}{(Highest \ level-Lowest \ level)}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{(20,000-18000)}{(80,000-60,000)}\\\\=\frac{(2,000)}{(20,000)}\\\\=\frac{(1,000)}{(10,000)}\\\\=\frac{(1)}{(10)}\\\\=$0.1 / mile[/tex]
So, the total fixed cost:
[tex]=20,000-(80,000\times 0.1)\\\\=20,000-8,000\\\\=\$12,000[/tex]

There are two jobs to be assigned to two workers. The cost for worker A on job 1 is $5 and on job 2 is $8. The cost for worker B on job 1 is $10 and on job 2 is $12. How should the work be divided using the assignment method and what is the total cost
Answer:
To minimize costs, Job 1 should be assigned to Worker A while Job 2 is assigned to Worker B and the total cost will be $17.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Worker A Worker B
Cost of Job 1 $5 $10
Cost of Job 2 $8 $12
Job assignments 1:
Worker A Worker B Total Cost
If Job 1 is assigned to $5 $5
Then Job 2 is assigned to $12 12
Total cost of jobs $5 $12 $17
Job assignments 2:
Worker A Worker B Total Cost
If Job 1 is assigned to $10 $10
Then Job 2 is assigned to $8 8
Total cost of jobs $8 $10 $18
Job assignment 1 should be adopted to minimize cost by $1.
