Answer: $46000
Explanation:
The manufacturing overhead for the month will be calculated as:
Indirect labour = $15000
Add: Indirect material = $4000
Add: Factory electricity gas = $8000
Add: Factory supervisor salary = $12000
Add: Depreciation on factory building = $7000
Therefore, the total manufacturing overheads would be gotten by adding the above values together whihc will be equal to $46000.
Shandra Corporation (a U.S.-based company) expects to order goods from a foreign supplier at a price of 131,000 pounds, with delivery and payment to be made on April 20. On February 20, when the spot rate is $1.37 per pound, Shandra purchases a two-month call option on 131,000 pounds and designates this option as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign currency transaction. The time value of the option is excluded in assessing hedge effectiveness; the change in time value is recognized in net income over the life of the option. The option has a strike price of $1.37 per pound and costs $1,310. The goods are received and paid for on April 20. Shandra sells the imported goods in the local market by May 31. The spot rate for pounds is $1.42 on April 20. What amount will Shandra Corporation report as foreign exchange gain or loss in net income for the quarter ended June 30
Answer:
Shandra Corporation
The amount which Shandra Corporation will report as foreign exchange gain in net income for the quarter ended June 30 is:
$5,240
Explanation:
Price of goods = 131,000 pounds
Delivery and payment date = April 20
On February 20, the spot rate for call option on 131,000 pounds = $1.37
Cost of the option = $1,310
The spot rate on April 20 = $1.42
The foreign exchange gain or loss to be reported in net income for the quarter ended June 30 = $0.05 ($1.42 - $1.37
Total gain = ($0.05 * 131,000) - $1,310
= $6,550 - $1,310
= $5,240
b) With this call option, which gives Shandra the right to buy the underlying asset, Shandra hedges his contract to purchase goods from a foreign supplier, and therefore, profits when the spot rate increases from $1.37 on February 20 to $1.42 on April 20. The profit made is reduced by the cost of the call option.
6. Despite multimillion-dollar investments, many IT organizations cannot respond quickly to evolving business needs.

Stock A has the following returns for various states of the economy State of the Economy Probability Stock A's Return Recession 9 72 Below Average 16 15 Average 51 16 Above Average 14 35 Boom 10 85 Stock A's expected return is Group of answer choices 13.8 12.7 16.5 9.9
Answer:
the expected return is 12.7%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return is given below:
Expected return = Respective probability × respective return
= (-72 × .09) + (-15 × .16) + (16 × .51) + (35 × .14) + (85 × .10)
= -6.48% -2.4% + 8.16% + 4.9% + 8.5%
= 12.68%
= 12.7%
Hence, the expected return is 12.7%
The above formula should be used for the same.
Suppose you win $1 million in a lottery and your winnings are scheduled to be paid as follows: $400000 at the end of one year, $400000 at the end of two years, and $200000 at the end of three years. If the interest rate is 5 percent, what is the present discounted value of your winnings
Answer:
The present discounted value of the winnings is $916,531.69.
Explanation:
The present discounted values of each of the payment can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ...................... (1)
Where;
PV = Present discounted value of payment at the end of specified year(s)
FV = Future value or the scheduled amount
r = interest rate
n = year in which the payment is scheduled to be paid
Using equation (1), we have:
PV of payment at the end of one year = $400000 / (1 + 5%)^1 = $380,952.38
PV of payment at the end of two years = $400000 / (1 + 5%)^2 = $362,811.79
PV of payment at the end of three years = $200000 / (1 + 5%)^3 = $172,767.52
The present discounted value of the winnings can now be calculated as the additions of the 3 PVs above as follows:
PV of the winnings = PV of payment at the end of one year + PV of payment at the end of two years + PV of payment at the end of three years = $380,952.38 + $362,811.79 + $172,767.52 = $916,531.69
Therefore, the present discounted value of the winnings is $916,531.69.

b. Compute the total asset turnover ratio.
c. Compute the return on assets (investment).
Answer:
a. 9.15 times
b. 4.61 times
c. 31.52%
d. 1.08 times
e. 20.88 %
Explanation:
Note : I have attached the full question as image below.
Interest Coverage = Earnings Before Interest and tax ÷ Interest expense
= $85,100 ÷ $9,300
= 9.15 times
Fixed Charge Coverage = EBIT + Lease Payments ÷ Interest Payments + Lease Payments
= $85,100 + $11,700 ÷ $9,300 + $11,700
= 4.61 times
Profit margin = Operating Profit / Sales x 100
= $85,100 / $270,000 x 100
= 31.52%
Total asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total Assets
= $270,000 ÷ $249,000
= 1.08 times
Return on assets (investment) = Earning Before Interest after Tax / Total Assets x 100
= ($45,480 + $9,300 x 70%) / $249,000 x 100
= 20.88 %
A company that utilizes carbon fiber 3-D printing wants to have money available two years from now to add new equipment. The company currently has $650,000 in a capital account and it plans to deposit $200,000 now and another $200,000 one year from now. The total amount available in two years, provided it returns a compounded rate of 15% per year, is closest to
Answer:
Total amount available in two years is $1,354,125.
Explanation:
The total amount available in two years can be calculated as follows:
Total amount in the deposit now = Current deposit + Amount planned to be deposited = $650,000 + $200,000 = $850,000
Future value of the total amount the deposit now = Total amount in the deposit now * (1 + Annual interest rate)^Number of years the deposit used = $850,000 + (1 + 15%)^2 = $1,124,125
Future value of next year's deposit = Next year's deposit * (1 + Annual interest rate)^Number of years the deposit used = $200,000 * (1 + 15%)^1 = $230,000
Total amount available in two years = Future value of the total amount the deposit now + Future value of next year's deposit = $1,124,125 + $230,000 = $1,354,125
_____ is a method of attempting to settle labor disputes in when a specialist from the federal government helps management and the union focus on the issues and acts as a communication channel through which management and the union can send messages and share information with each other.
Answer: e. Conciliation
Explanation:
This process is known as Conciliation and it falls under the purview of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service of the United States.
Conciliation stands out from Mediation because with mediation, the third party that is helping both sides negotiate might not be trained but with Conciliation, the third part is a specialist in the process and thus will be more effective in dealing with the dispute.
Fluno Corporation has 1 million shares outstanding at the end of fiscal 2005. Its stock is trading at $15 per share. It issued $0.6 million in dividends, and had net income of $1 million in fiscal 2005. At the end of 2005, its total assets, liabilities, and retained earnings were $25 million, $15 million, and $7.5 million, respectively. Fluno's price-to-book ratio is _____ and Fluno's dividend yield ratios is _____ for 2005.
Answer:
Fluno's price-to-book ratio is 1.5 and Fluno's dividend yield ratios is 4% for 2005.
Explanation:
total equity = $10 million
book value per share = $10 million / 1 million shares = $10 per share
price to book ratio = $15 / $10 = 1.5
dividend per share = $0.6 million / 1 million shares = $0.60 per share
dividend yield ratio = annual dividend / price per share = $0.60 / $15 = 0.04 = 4%

For the year, $372,125 of overhead costs are incurred and 131,500 hours are used. (a) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.) Manufacturing overhead rate $enter a dollar amount rounded to 2 decimal places per machine hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.75 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead costs are estimated to total $345,675 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,700 hours.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing 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= 345,675/125,700
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.75 per machine hour
A 30-year maturity, 8% coupon bond paying coupons semiannually is callable in five years at a call price of $1,100. The bond currently sells at a yield to maturity of 7% and has a par value of $1,000. What is its yield to call
Answer:
6.74%
Explanation:
The computation of the yield to call is as followS;
But before that the present value is
Given that
PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
NPER = 30 × 2 = 60
RATE = 7% ÷ 2 = 3.50
FV = $1,000
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(RATE, NPER, PMT, FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the present value is $1,124.72
Now the yield to call is
Given that
PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40
NPER = 5 × 2 = 10
PV = $1,124.72
FV = $1,100
The formula is given below:
= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the yield to call is
= 3.37% × 2
= 6.74%

For the year, Jensen's has depreciation of $2,058, dividends paid of $125, interest expense of $382, an addition to retained earnings of $3,408, and an increase in common stock of $2,500. The total tax rate is 21 percent. What is the operating cash flow
Answer:
$5,973
Explanation:
The computation of operating cash flow is seen below;
Net income = $125 + $3,408 = $3533
Net income $3,533 - Interest expense $382 - Depreciation $2,058 = EBIT $1,093
Tax = 21% × $1,093 = $229.53
Operating cash flow = $1,093 + $2,058 + $2,700 - $229.53 = $5,973
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT with regard to trends that organizational behavior is addressing?
a. The workforce is getting younger and thus their integration into most organizations will be seamless.
b. Organizations will likely become "shamrock-shaped" in the future.
c. The world is "flattening" so information access is increasing.
d. Outsourcing is becoming a way of life in many organizations.
Answer:
a. The workforce is getting younger and thus their integration into most organizations will be seamless.
Explanation:
An organizational behavior can be defined as the study of people's opinions, feelings, actions and how people perceive an organization
The following statements are correct and true with regard to trends that organizational behavior is addressing;
I. Organizations will likely become "shamrock-shaped" in the future.
II. The world is "flattening" so information access is increasing.
III. Outsourcing is becoming a way of life in many organizations.
However, opining that the workforce is getting younger and thus their integration into most organizations will be seamless is completely false because the workforce would be growing older as their years of active service increases i.e the workforce is getting older.
On January 1 of the current reporting year, Coda Company's projected benefit obligation was $30 million. During the year, pension benefits paid by the trustee were $4 million. Service cost was $10 million. Pension plan assets earned $5 million as expected. At the end of the year, there was no net gain or loss and no prior service cost. The actuary's discount rate was 10%. Required: Determine the amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31.
Answer:
The amount of projected benefit obligation is on Dec 31 is $39 million
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of projected benefit obligation is on Dec 31 as follows;
Beginning PBO $30 million
Service cost $10 million
Interest cost (10% × $30) $3 million
Loss (gain) on PBO $0
Less: benefits paid -$4 million
Ending PBO $39 million
Hence, the amount of projected benefit obligation is on Dec 31 is $39 million

Suppose Paolo and Sharon are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Paolo chooses Right and Sharon chooses Right, Paolo will receive a payoff of 5 and Sharon will receive a payoff of 4.
The only dominant strategy in this game is for _________ to choose __________.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses __________ and Sharon chooses _______.
Question Completion:
Matrix payoff:
Sharon
Left Right
Paolo Left 8, 3 4, 4
Right 5, 3 5, 4
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.
Explanation:
a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is. In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.
b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.
The Hawthorne studies found that although financial incentives are important drivers of worker productivity, intrinsic motivation was equally important. intrinsic motivation was equally important. flexible working hours was equally important. flexible working hours was equally important. social factors are more important. social factors are more important. work variety is more important.
Answer:
social factors are more important.
Explanation:
The Hawthorne Studies was a study that centered around the employees that were working at the Hawthorne plant of the Western Electric Company and it was conducted in the 1920s by Elton Mayo and Fritz Roethlisberger.
Basically, the study was focused on examining the socio-psychological aspects of human behavior (employees) working in a business firm or an organization.
The main purpose of the Hawthorne Studies was to analyze, examine and determine how various aspects of the work environment in an organization which typically includes social factors such as break time, lighting, and duration of work hours have on the level of productivity (performance) of employees.
Hence, the Hawthorne studies found that although financial incentives are important drivers of worker productivity, social factors are more important.
