Answer:
1.54
Explanation:
The computation of the asset turnover for manufacturer B to match with the manufacturer A is shown below:
As we know that
Return on equity = profit margin × asset turnover × gearing
2 × 1.7 × 4.9 = 2.3 × Asset tunover × 4.7
After solving this, the asset turnover is 1.54 times
So it should be 1.54 for matching
Also, we assume that there is an equity multiplier for manufacturer A of 4.9 instead of liabilities-to-assets ratio so we considered the same in the above computation part
The percent change in multifactor productivity if Fok can reduce the energy bill by $1,000 per day without cutting production or changing any other inputs
Answer:
The answer is "2.45%".
Explanation:
The answer of option c:
Reduce power by 950 dollars:
In this question it will need to once again take the latest energy cost for analytical hierarchical productivity.
→ Total Input [tex]= 400 \times 12+21000 \times 1 +(5000-950)+10000[/tex]
[tex]= 4800 +21000 + (4050)+10000 \\\\ = 25800+4050+10000 \\\\ = 39850\\[/tex]
Consumer rates [tex]= \frac{1,000}{39,850}[/tex]
[tex]=0.0250[/tex]
Initial efficiency multi-factor= 0.0245
[tex]\to \text{percentage changes} = \frac{\text{New Multi Factor Productivity - Previous Multi-Factor Productivity}}{\text{Originbal Multi-Factor Productivity}}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{(0.02450.0251)}{0.0245}\\\\ = 2.45 \ \ \%[/tex]
9.20% is the percent change in multifactor productivity if Fok can reduce the electricity bill by $1,000 per day without cut down production or changing any other inputs.
Computation of percentage change:According to the question,
Reduce power by $950,
For analytical hierarchical productivity, we need to calculate the latest energy.
Total New Input(TNI):
Summation of all the inputs:
[tex]\text{TNI}= 400\times12+\$21,000\times1+(\$5,000-950)+\$10,000\\\\\text{TNI}=\$4,800+\$21,000+\$4,050+\$10.000.\\\\\text{TNI}=\$25,800+\$4,050+\$10,000.\\\\\text{TNI}=\$39,850.[/tex]
[tex]\text{Consumer Rates}=\dfrac{\text{Energy bill per day}}{\text{TNI} }.\\\\\text{Consumer Rates}=\dfrac{1,000}{39,850}.\\\\\text{Consumer Rates}=0.0250.[/tex]
Initial efficiency factor: 0.0245 (as per question)
[tex]\text{Percentage changes}=\dfrac{\text{New multifactor productivity-Previous multifactor productivity}}{\text{Original multifactor productivity}}\\\\\text{Percentage changes}=\dfrac{0.2450-0.0194}{2.45}.\\\\\text{Percentage changes}=9.20\%.[/tex]
Hence, 9.20% is the percent change.

Barnes Corporation manufactures two models of office chairs, a standard and a deluxe model. The following activity and cost information has been compiled: Number of Number of Number of Product Setups Components Direct Labor Hours Standard 22 8 375 Deluxe 28 12 225 Overhead costs $20,000 $40,000 Number of setups and number of components are identified as activity-cost drivers for overhead. Assuming an activity-based costing system is used, what is the total amount of overhead costs assigned to the standard model?
Answer:
Standard= $24,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of: Setups Components
Standard 22 8
Deluxe 28 12
Overhead costs $20,000 $40,000
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Setups= 20,000 / (22+28)= $400per setup
Components= 40,000 / (8+12)= $2,000 per component
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Standard= 400*22 + 2,000*8
Standard= $24,800

Dave is working on some paperwork for his boss. The company has reported that their estimated indirect labor costs for the year are going to be $130,000, while the direct labor costs for the year will be $200,000. The estimated overhead costs for the year are expected to be $156,000. If overhead is applied based on direct labor cost, what is the predetermined overhead rate for the company?
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.28 per direct labor dollar
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor costs= $200,000.
The estimated overhead costs for the year are expected to be $156,000.
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 200,000/156,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.28 per direct labor dollar
Annuities are a series of constant cash flows that have been received over a certain period of time. However, not all annuities are created equal. Some annuities adjust the payments based on certain macroeconomic factors. Growing annuities are a series of payments that grow at aconstant rate. You invested in an aggressive growth fund and expect to earn 14.84% annually over the next five years. However, due to strong growth, inflation is expected to be 7.35%. What should be your expected real rate of return
Answer:
Real interest rate= 0.0749= 7.49%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You invested in an aggressive growth fund and expect to earn 14.84% annually over the next five years. However, due to strong growth, inflation is expected to be 7.35%.
The inflation rate provokes the opposite effect than the interest rate. It decreases the value of money through time, reducing the purchasing price of the nominal value of money.
Real interest rate= nominal interest rate - inflation rate
Real interest rate= 0.1484 - 0.0735
Real interest rate= 0.0749= 7.49%

Multiple Choice 1.59 times 2.08 times 2.18 times 1.02 times .53 times
Answer:
1.59 times
Explanation:
Average total assets = Beginning total assets + Ending Total assets / 2
Average total assets = 6,470 + 6,705 / 2
Average total assets = $6,587.5
Beginning Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Beginning Total equity = $3,240 + $3,080
Beginning Total equity = $6,320
Ending Total equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Ending Total equity= $880 + $1,130
Ending Total equity = $2,010
Average total equity = Beginning Total equity + Ending Total equity / 2
Average total equity = $6,320 + $2,010 / 2
Average total equity = $4,165
Equity multiplier for 2017 = Average total assets / Average total equity
Equity multiplier for 2017 = $6,587.5 / $4,165
Equity multiplier for 2017 = 1.581632653061224
Equity multiplier for 2017 = 1.5816 times

The City of Willford levies a flat 7% tax on individual income in excess of $55,000. Individuals who earn $55,000 or less pay no income tax. Ms. Vello earned $127,200 income this year. Compute her city income tax and determine her average tax rate. Mr. Sui earned $68,900 income this year. Compute his city income tax and determine his average tax rate. Does Willford have a proportionate, progressive, or regressive tax rate structure?
Answer:
Explanation:
• Ms. Vello earned $127,200 income this year. Compute her city income tax and determine her average tax rate.
Ms. Vello's tax is calculated as:
= $72,200 × 7%
= $72000 × 0.07
= $5054
Her average tax rate will be:
= $5,054/$127,200
= 3.97%
• Mr. Sui earned $68,900 income this year. Compute his city income tax and determine his average tax rate.
Mr. Sui's tax will be:
= $13,900 × 7%
= $13900 × 0.07
= $973
His average tax rate will be:
= $973/$68,900
= 1.41%
• Does Willford have a proportionate, progressive, or regressive tax rate structure
Willford has a progressive tax rate. This is because as the base rises, the tax rate also increases. The higher the income, then the higher the tax rate will also be.

Instructions
(a) Compute the following ratios for 2016 and 2017.
(1) Profit margin. 5. Price-earnings ratio.
(2) Gross profit rate. 6. Payout ratio.
(3) Asset turnover. 7. Debt to assets ratio.
(4) Earnings per share.
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
1. Profit margin = Net profit / Net sales
2016 - Profit margin
= (70,000 / 570,000) * 100
= 12.28%
2017 - Profit margin
= (95,000 / 700,000) * 100
= 13.57
2. Gross profit rate = Gross profit / Net sales
2016 - Gross profit rate
= (220,000 / 570,000) * 100
= 38.60%
2017 - Gross profit rate
= (275,000 / 700,000) * 100
= 39.29%
3. Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets
2016 - Asset turnover
= (570,000 / [(600,000 + 533,000) / 2 ]
= 570,000 / 566,500
= 1.01 times
2017 - Asset turnover
= (700,000 / [(725,000 + 600,000) / 2 ]
= 700,000 / 662,500
= 1.06 times
4. Earnings per share = Net income / Outstanding shares
2016 - Earnings per share
= 70,000 / (310,000/10)
= 70,000 / 31,000
= $2.26 per share
2017 - Earnings per share
= 95,000/ (320,000/10)
= 95,000 / 32,000
= $2.97 per share.
5. Price earnings ratio = Market value per share / EPS
2016 - price earnings ratio
= 7.50 /2.26
= 3.32 times
2017 - price earnings ratio
= 8.50/2.97
= 2.86 times
6. Payout ratio = Dividend per share / Net income or earnings per share × 100
2016 - payout ratio
=
7. Debts to assets ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
2016 - Debts to assets ratio
=
An example of a capital budgeting decision is deciding: Group of answer choices how many shares of stock to issue whether or not to purchase a new machine for the production line. how to refinance a debt issue that is maturing. how much inventory to keep on hand. how much money should be kept in the checking account.
Answer:
whether or not to purchase a new machine for the production line
Explanation:
Capital budgeting decision is the process by which a company sets aside money for the purchase of capital assets such as new machinery, new plants, research and development, and new product.
Capital budgeting is considered to be both a financial decision and an investment decision. Apart from cost incurred by making a purchase, the company considers the future cash flows the capital asset will generate.
Purchasing a new machine for the production line is a capital budgeting decision
On January 12, 2021, Jefferson Corporation purchased bonds of Rose Corporation for $52 million at par and classified the securities as available-for-sale. On December 31, 2021, these bonds were valued at $46 million. Nine months later, on October 3, 2022, Jefferson Corporation sold these bonds for $62 million. As part of the multistep approach to record the 2022 transaction, Jefferson Corporation should finally take the third step of recording a sales transaction with a gain of:
Answer:
Transaction gain = $16 million
Explanation:
Given:
Purchase amount = $52 million
December 31, 2021, bonds value = $46 million
October 3, 2022, bonds sold = $62 billion
Computation:
Using multi-step approach
Transaction gain = October 3, 2022, bonds sold - December 31, 2021, bonds value
Transaction gain = $62 million - $46 million
Transaction gain = $16 million
The agency problem exists primarily in companies of which:__________.
a. ownership is widely dispersed
b. common stock is closely held
c. management has stock ownership
d. both a & c
Answer: a. ownership is widely dispersed
Explanation:
When ownership of a company is widely dispersed, it means that there are few major holders of stock and no majority shareholder.
This can lead to more instances of the Agency problem ( managers acting for their own welfare instead of that of the shareholders) as there will be fewer people able to call the managers to book unilaterally. The managers will therefore feel more empowered to do as they please.
What is the most effective learning theory in your opinion? Explain how does it modify one’s behavior? Support your answer with relevant examples.
Answer:
Experiential Learning Theory
Explanation:
I think that the experiential learning theory is the most effective learning theory. This learning theory projects experience as a crucial factor that promotes learning. It also explains that people learn better when they initiate their learning and not when they are forced to learn.
I think this theory is very effective as it makes the lessons learned to stick better and also cause the needed changes. For example, a teenager who is constantly reminded by his parents to avoid late night partying, but rejects the counsel, might learn better if he gets into trouble as a result of the experience. Also, a student who finds it difficult to understand a topic taught by a teacher, might get better at it when he initiates the learning himself by actively researching and studying on his own.
