Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5 sentences at least.
You are the president of the American Association of Construction Manufacturers (AACM), a trade association that represents seven hundred companies who build and sell heavy construction equipment. Members have proposed a number of initiatives to advance AACM interests. First, some members want an AACM advocacy group to lobby Congress for relaxing trade barriers on importing raw materials and parts. Second, some of the smaller AACM members want an advertising campaign promoting the importance of the AACM in order to increase small firm membership. Third, some members propose to segregate regions of the United States into sales territories, whereby only certain members have access to certain customers within a geographic area. Fourth, a group of socially conscious AACM firms want its members to boycott a large supplier that sources from nations with poor human rights records. Evaluate the business and legal (antitrust) implications of each of these proposals.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. Business implication: if there are no trade barriers, it would enable them get better raw materials for their business and increase customer base

Legal anti trust implication: lobbying is illegal in some countries

2. Business implication: this would attract more manufacturers who were not previously members of the association which would in turn promote the goals of the association in improving trade amongst the manufacturers

Legal anti trust implication: associatio may be exposed to legal examination, example increased regulations

3 business implications:sales territories would invariably create a safe and secure investment for manufacturers such that there is less cost of marketing and campaigning as consumers are guaranteed

Legal implications: this is against anti trust laws and goes against free trade policies and illegal monopoly

4 business implications: boycotting this supplier could create an alternative source of raw materials which wouldn't be as efficient and even cost more

Legal implications: boycotting a large supplier such as this who might have a political backing might bring political retaliations from the supplier's political proxies who might create other regulations in the supplier's favour

g Benton, Inc. has decided to discontinue manufacturing its Quantum model personal organizer. Currently the company has a number of partially completed personal organizers on hand. The company has spent $111 per unit to manufacture these organizers. To complete each unit, costs of $14 for material and $15 for direct labor will be incurred. In addition, $9 of variable overhead and $34 of allocated fixed overhead (relating primarily to depreciation of plant and equipment) will be added per unit. If Benton, Inc., completes the organizers, it can sell them for $124 per unit. Another manufacturer is interested in purchasing the partially completed organizers for $107 per unit and converting them into inventory tracking devices. Determine whether Benton should complete the personal organizers or sell them in their current state.

Answers

Answer:

Sell them in their current state

Explanation:

Ignore the cost already incurred ($111) since it is a sunk cost (already spent) and should not affect future decision.

1) The incremental cost of completing each unit = material cost ($14) + direct labour cost ($15) + variable overhead cost ($9) = $38 (allocated fixed cost was not included since it is a non-cash item)

With a sale price of $124, the profit per unit = $124 - $38 = $89.

2) Whereas, selling the partially completed unit will earn $107 (without any additional cost).

Since selling the partially completed unit earns higher incremental value than completing manufacture before sale, selling is the optimal decision.

Round your answer to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.__________ %

CALCULATION PART

what nominal interest rate will they charge their customers?

Effective annual rate= (1+nominal rate/n)^n -1)

n= compounding period

Effective annual rate=[(1+0.06/2)^2 -1]

[(1+0.06/2)^2 -1]

= (1+0.03)^2 -1

=1.0609-1

=0.0609

= 6.09%

They will charge it 6.09%

There are four quarter in a year which means n=4

Let the nominal rate = x

Using the effective annual rate formula

0.0609=[ (1+x/4)^4 -1]

0.0609+1= (1+x/4)^4

(1.0609)^1/4 = 1+x/4

1.01489= 1+x/4

1.01489-1= x/4

x= 0.01489×4

x= 0.05956×100

x= 5.956%

Hence, effective annual rate for the both banks is 6.09%

While nominal annual rate for bank2 is 5.956%

For determining the estimated manufaturing overhead first determined the predetermined overhead which is shown below:

= (Actual manufacturing overhead - underapplied overhead) ÷ (actual direct labor hours)

= ($506,920 - $23,440) ÷ (20,400 hours)

= $23.7

Now the estimated manufacturing overhead is

= $23.7 × 21,600 hours

= $511,920

The plain popcorn sells for per box and costs per box to make. The flavored popcorn sells for per box and costs per box to make. has fixed costs per month of . sells 1 box of plain popcorn for every 4 boxes of flavored popcorn. How many boxes of plain popcorn and how many boxes of flavored popcorn must sell each month to break​ even?

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question (see image):

first we must calculate the contribution margin:

plain popcorn = selling price - variable costs = $2 - $0.80 = $1.20

flavored popcorn = selling price - variable costs = $4 - $2.50 = $1.50

sales mix = 1 plain : 4 flavored

weighted contribution margin = [$1.20 + (4 x $1.50)] / 5 = $1.44

total fixed costs = $3,240

break even point in units = $3,240 / $1.44 = 2,250 units

the company must sell 2,250 x 1/5 = 450 plain popcorn boxes and 1,850 flavored popcorn boxes in order to break even

Gold Company was experiencing financial difficulties, but was not bankrupt or insolvent. The National Bank, which held a mortgage on other real estate owned by Gold, reduced the principal from $110,000 to $85,000. The bank had made the loan to Gold when it purchased the real estate from Silver, Inc. Pink, Inc., the holder of a mortgage on Gold’s building, agreed to accept $40,000 in full payment of the $55,000 due. Pink had sold the building to Gold for $150,000 that was to be paid in installments over 8 years. As a result of the above, Gold must:____________
a. Include $40,000 in gross income.
b. Reduce the basis in its assets by $40,000.
c. Include $25,000 in gross income and reduce its basis in its assets by $15,000.
d. Include $15,000 in gross income and reduce its basis in the building by $25,000.
e. None of these.

Answers

Answer:

c. Include $25,000 in gross income and reduce its basis in its assets by $15,000.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Decrease by Bank

= $110000 - $85000

= $25,000

The same amount i.e. $25,000 would be involved in the gross income

And, the reduction in mortgage is

=  $55000 - $40000

= $15,000

It redued the building or assets basis

hence, the correct option is c. and the same is to be considered

An operation that closes due to an imminent health hazard can reopen only after getting approval from what agency?

Answers

Answer:

the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)

Explanation:

The Food and Drug Administration is a federal agency, which is allowed under US law to prevent an operation from going on if it determines that an imminent health hazard still exists.

However, according to the FDA food code, "if immediate corrective action is taken, there is no "Imminent Health Hazard," meaning the operation can get approval from the agency to reopen.

Imminent Health Hazard means threat to life due to some product, procedure, events which need to stopped immediately. After FDA approval, operation can be restarted.

What do you mean by Imminent Health Hazard?

FDA Food Code  describes Imminent Health Hazard as the product, procedure, events that can posses threat or danger to life and requires immediate actions or suspension of action to prevent the loss.

The FDA(U.S. Food and Drug Administration) is the agency which looks after the Imminent Health Hazard. So when operations are ceased due to health hazard and after taking corrective measures and when no hazards are left, operations can be reopened after prior approval of FDA.

Therefore, it can be said that after FDA approval, operations can be started.

Pilot plus Pens is deciding when to replace its old machine. The old machine’s current salvage value is $2 million. Its current book value is $1 million. If not sold, the old machine will require maintenance costs of $400,000 at the end of the year, for the next five years. Depreciation on the old machine is $200,000 per year. At the end of five years, the old machine will have salvage value of $200,000 and a book value of $0. A replacement machine costs $3 million now and requires maintenance costs of $500,000 at the end of each year during its economic life of five years. At the end of five years, the new machine will have a salvage value of $500,000. It will be fully depreciated by the straight-line method. In five years, a replacement machine will cost $3,500,000.

The company should replace the machinery now as the NPV of old machine is very less as compared to new machine.

What do you mean by Salvage value?

The estimated value of an item at the end of its useful life is known as salvage value.

You want to buy a house that costs $140,000. You have $14,000 for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companies will not lend you the required $126,000. However, the realtor persuades the seller to take a $126,000 mortgage (called a seller take-back mortgage) at a rate of 5%, provided the loan is paid off in full in 3 years. You expect to inherit $140,000 in 3 years, but right now all you have is $14,000, and you can afford to make payments of no more than $22,000 per year given your salary. (The loan would call for monthly payments, but assume end-of-year annual payments to simplify things.)

Required:
a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?
b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?
c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of house = $140,000

Down payment = $14000

Take back mortgage = 126000 = PV

Rate (r) = 5%

Yearly payment one can afford = 22000

a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?

Number of period = 3

Using the relation:

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-3

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.8638375)

PMT = 46,268.23

He won't be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is larger than the affordable amount of $22000

b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-30

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.2313774)

PMT = 8196.48

He would be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is lower than the affordable amount of $22000

c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?

Present value of remaining balance after the 3rd year:

Present Value (PV) = PMT[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where

PMT = periodic payment = 8196.48

r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05

n = number of periods = 30 - 3 = 27

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1. 05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[0.7321516 / 0.05]

PV = 120,021.32

Balloon payment :

120,021.32 + 8196.48 = 128,217.80

a. The annual payment if the Mortgage was amortized over three years is $45,315.96 (Interest + Principal)

The Mortgage payments are not affordable because his affordability funds are limited to $22,000 annually.

c. Payments made by the end of the third year were $5,867.07 with a balance of $120,132.93.

Data and Calculations:

Cost of house = $140,000

Down payment = $14,000

Mortgage value = $126,000($140,000 - $14,000)

Mortgage interest rate = 5%

Affordable annual payments = $22,000

Your monthly mortgage payment on your house is $593.90. It is a 30 year mortgage at 7.8% compounded monthly. How much did you borrow

Answers

Answer:

The amount borrowed is $82,500

Explanation:

The computation of the amount borrowed is shown below:

But before that we do the following calculations

Total Periods is

What is the WACC for the company?

Answers

Answer:

11,73 %

Explanation:

WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) + Kp × (E/V)

Ke = Cost of Equity

     = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Risk Premium

     = 3.5 % + 1.20 × 6.9 %

     = 11.78 %

E/V = Weight of Equity

      = (2,300,000 × $92) ÷ (2,300,000 × $92 + 60,000 × $106.10 + 18,900 × $21.60 + 155,000 × $84)

The mean value of land and buildings per acre from a sample of farms is ​$1400​, with a standard deviation of ​$200. The data set has a​ bell-shaped distribution. Assume the number of farms in the sample is 74. ​
(a) Use the empirical rule to estimate the number of farms whose land and building values per acre are between ​$1200 and ​$1600.
(b) If 29 additional farms were​ sampled, about how many of these additional farms would you expect to have land and building values between ​$1200 per acre and ​$1600 per​ acre?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The Empirical Rule (or 3 sigma rule) states that for a normal distribution (bell shaped distribution) 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation (μ ± σ), 95% percent within two standard deviations (μ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within three standard deviations from the mean (μ ± 3σ).

Given that the mean (μ) = $1400, standard deviation (σ) = $200

a) The percentage of data within one standard deviation = μ ± σ = (1400 ± 200) = (1200, 1600)

Hence 68% of the land are between ​$1200 and ​$1600.

Number of farms = 68% × number of sample = 0.68 × 74 = 50.23 ≈ 51 farms

b) For an additional 29 farms, the number of additional farms between ​$1200 per acre and ​$1600 per​ acre = 29 × 0.68 ≈ 20 farms

a)The land is between $1200 and $1600. The number of farms is 51, b. The number of additional farms between $1200 per acre and $1600 per acre is 20 farms.

According to the Empirical Rule (or 3 sigma rule), for a normal distribution (bell shaped distribution), 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation (ut o), 95% fall within two standard deviations (u 20), and 99.7% fall within three standard deviations (+30). Given that the mean () is $1400 and the standard deviation () is $200,

a) The percentage of data within one standard deviation=uo=(1400+ 200) (1200, 1600)

Hence 68% of the land are between $1200 and $1600. Number of farms- 68% x number of sample - 0.68 74 50.23 51 farms

b) For an additional 29 farms, the number of additional farms between $1200 per acre and $1600 per acre- 29 x 0.68 = 20 farms.

Which idea forms the basis of double-entry accounting?
A. For every single transaction, at least two accounts will be
affected.
B. For every single transaction, only assets will be impacted.
C. The assets of a business equal the stockholders' equity.
O D. The stockholders' equity in a business must equal the liabilities.

Answers

Answer:

A. For every single transaction, at least two accounts will be

affected.

Explanation:

Double-entry accounting is a record-keeping method where a transaction is recorded in a minimum of two accounts. There is no upper ceiling on the actual number of accounts that may be used in a transaction.

Every account has two columns, with debits on the left and credit entries on the right. The aggregate of the debit entries must equal the result of all credit entries. If this happens, the transaction has balanced.  If not, the transaction is  "out of balance."
