Answer:
No, I would NOT recommend adding Kimco & co. to their international fund.
Explanation:
The following analyses have to be considered first before making a recommendation:
1. The decision rule for Payback period is to accept a project if its estimated payback period is less than the benchmark payback period. In this question, the estimated Potential investment Payback period of 7 years is less than the 10 years provided by conservative approach. Therefore, the project should be accepted based on Payback period.
2. The decision rule for Return on investment (ROI) is to reject a project if its estimated ROI is less than the average returns. In this question, the estimated ROI of 7.90% is less than the average returns of 8.50%. Therefore, the project should be rejected based on ROI.
3. The decision rule for Net present value (NPV) is to reject a project if its NPV is positive and reject if negative. In this question, the NPV is not neither positive nor negative but zero. Therefore, decision cannot be taken based on NPV.
4. The decision rule for Internal rate of Return (IRR) is to reject a project if its IRR is less than its associated average returns. In this question, the estimated IRR is not less than the average returns because they are both equal to 8.5%. Therefore, decision cannot be taken based on IRR.
Recommendation
No, I would NOT recommend adding Kimco & co. to their international fund based on the ROI.
Although the project should be accepted based on Payback period, but the ROI will still be less than the average return despite that estimated Potential investment Payback period of 7 years is less than the 10 years provided by conservative approach.
Therefore, Kimco & co. should NOT be added to their international fund.
The client Circuit City is considering the introduction of private label brands into their superstores. Private label brands are unbranded products made by an OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Is there any value in this product line? If yes, what are the sources of value of this program? What are the potential downside risks associated with introducing private label products?
Answer:
Following are the responses to the given question:
Explanation:
Please find the complete question.
Yes, value exists. Their price is lower and therefore more competition and benefit are higher. Its value is reduced. Further competition among producers leads to higher production and lower prices. Further good product feedback will increase profitability after their use by consumers. Based on buyers' requirements, drugs can also be added. The drawback is that the output and performance depend more on the producer. Initially, the gain can be very low due to lower prices. Because they are typically replicas of premium products, a distinctive identity becomes difficult to have. Besides, customers get less trust and this problem is worse from the outset.

Jeff is the Chief Financial Officer of a large publicly-traded corporation. He knows that his company will have to restate its earnings downward shortly, because of some accounting errors. He also knows that this will cause the stock price, which is now $20 a share, to decrease sharply. Before the public announcement of the restatement, Jeff sells most of his shares to outside investors, who pay the current $20 market price, unaware of the coming restatement. Jeff may be charged with Group of answer choices Conspiracy to commit securities fraud Embezzlement All of these Obstruction of justice Insider trading
Answer: Insider trading
Explanation:
Insider Trading refers to when a person trades on material non-public information. It is frowned upon because it gives an unfair advantage to people who know the internal affairs of a company such that they benefit at the expense of others.
Material non-public information refers to information that the public does not know about but can be reasonably expected to impart stock prices if the public knew.
Jeff knows information that is both material and non-public and acted on it thereby profiting at the expense of those who bought his shares as their stake will reduce and they will make losses when the stock price goes down.

On January 1, 2010, Desert Company purchased a machine for $820,000. At the time, management estimated the useful life to be 20 years with a salvage value of $80,000 and will use straight-line depreciation. On January 1, 2020, the company reviewed the asset for impairment and determined that its future net cash flows totaled $420,000 and its fair value was $360,000. Desert has decided to continue to use the machine. What is the amount of depreciation expense Desert will record for this machine in 2020 after accounting for any potential impairment?
Answer:
$42,000
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation charges a fixed amount of depreciation for the period the asset is used in the business.
Depreciation Expense = Cost - Salvage Value ÷ Estimated Useful Life
January 1, 2020
Carrying Amount
Cost - Accumulated depreciation = $450,000
Recoverable Amount :
Higher of Fair Value and Future Cash Flows
Recoverable Amount = $420,000
Impairment loss incurs when Carrying Amount > Recoverable Amount
therefore,
Impairment loss = $30,000
December 31 , 2020
Depreciation expense = New Depreciable Amount ÷ Remaining useful life
= $420,000 ÷ 10
= $42,000
Direct Materials Variances The following data relate to the direct materials cost for the production of 20,000 automobile tires: Actual: 80,000 lbs. at $2.65 $212,000 Standard: 86,000 lbs. at $2.50 $215,000 a. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance. Enter favorable variances as negative numbers. Enter unfavorable variances as positive numbers. Price variance $fill in the blank 1 Quantity variance fill in the blank 3 Total direct materials cost variance $fill in the blank 5 b. The direct materials price variance should normally be reported to the . The direct materials quantity variance due to a malfunction of equipment that had not been properly operated should be reported to the . The total materials cost variance should be reported to the .
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Direct material price variance
= 80,000 × ($2.65 - $2.5)
= $12,000 unfavorable
Direct material quantity variance
= $2.5 × (80,000 - 86,000)
= -$15,000 favorable
ANd, the total direct material cost variance
= $12,000 unfavorable - $15,000 favorable
= -$3,000 favorable
2. The direct material price variance should be reported to the purchasing department while the direct material quantity variance should be reported to the production supervisor and the total material cost variance should be reported to the senior plant management
Additionally, as the price level rises, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar torise in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will thereforefall , and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports) willrise . Net exports will thereforefall , causing the quantity of domestic output demanded tofall . This phenomenon is known as theexchange rate effect
Answer:
rise, fall, rise, fall, fall, exchange rate
Explanation:
When there is a change in the level of price it will cause the real value to change as well. This is due to the fact that real value is basically relative price i.e., nominal value adjusted by inflation.
This rise in price effects the demand for exports, which in return falls due to higher goods rates. And the effect is opposite for imports which would now rise. The combination effect of imports and exports results in the change in the net exports which would also fall due to rise in imports and fall in the exports. Overall, this effect is known as the exchange rate effect.
g Bellingham Company produced 3,400 units of product that required 1.5 standard direct labor hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.95 per direct labor hour at 5,500 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
the fixed factory overhead volume variance is $1,180 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed factory overhead volume variance is shown below
= (Actual activity - normal activity)× fixed overhead cost per unit
= (3,400 × 1.5 - 5,500) × $2.95
= (5,100 - 5,500) × 2.95
= 400 × 2.95
= $1,180 unfavorable
Hence, the fixed factory overhead volume variance is $1,180 unfavorable
Simply we applied the above formula so that the correct amount could come
S. S. Sarkar (S.S.S.), a real estate investment company, is considering investing in a shopping center. The sale price is $5,000,000 and S.S.S. expects to have positive after-tax and after-mortgage payment cash flows from rents of $400,000 for the next three years. S.S.S. can obtain a mortgage with a downpayment of $3,000,000. At the end of the third year, S.S.S. anticipates selling the shopping center for a net after-tax gain on sale of $4,500,000. If S.S.S.'s required return is 30%, should S.S.S. go ahead and purchase the shopping center?
Answer:
S. S. Sarkar (S.S.S)
S.S.S. should not purchase the shopping center.
It will generate a negative NPV.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of a shopping center = $5,000,000
Expected annual positive after-tax and after-mortgage payment cash flows form rents = $400,000
Down Payment = $3,000,000
Net after-tax gain on sale after three years = $4,500,000
S.S.S.'s required return = 30%
Annuity value factor for 3 years at 30% = 1.816
Present value factor for 3 years at 30% = 0.455
NPV: Cash Flows PV
Down payment $3,000,000 ($3,000,000)
Annual rent $400,000 $726,400 ($400,000 * 1.816)
After-tax gain $4,500,000 2,041,500 ($4,500,000 * 0.455)
NPV = ($226,100)

Smith Company makes jars of homemade strawberry jam. Each jar is priced at $6.00 per unit. The costs of the ingredients to make each jar are $2.00. The containing jar itself costs $1.00. The company has monthly expenses of $2,000 for rent and insurance, $300 for heat and electricity, and $5,000 in monthly salary expenses. Last month the company sold 3,000 jars. What is the UNIT VARIABLE COST per jar
Answer:
Total variable cost= $1.97
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The cost of the ingredients to make each jar is $2.00.
The containing jar itself costs $1.00.
$300 for heat and electricity
$5,000 in monthly salary expenses.
Generally, the salary expense and electricity are mixed costs (fixed and variable components). In this case, we will treat them as a full variable cost.
Unitary Electricity= 300 / 3,000= $0.1
Unitary direct labor= 5,000 / 3,000= $1.67
Now, the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= 2 + 1 + 0.1 + 1.67
Total variable cost= $1.97

Match each of the following terms with their definition - Before-tax cost of debt - Cost of preferred stock - Cost of Common Stock - WACC A. The interest rate the firm must pay on new long-term borrowing B. the rate of return on retained earnings, and adjusted for flotation costs C. rate of return investors require based on the preferred stock dividend D. the average cost of raising new financing
Answer:
Before-tax cost of debt ⇒ A. The interest rate the firm must pay on new long-term borrowing.
This refers to the interest rate that a firm will pay on long term borrowing as compensation to the lenders for lending the company some funds.
Cost of preferred stock ⇒ C. rate of return investors require based on the preferred stock dividend.
The cost of the preferred stock is the rate of the preferred dividend that investors require they are paid every year if dividends can be paid and sometimes even when it cannot.
Cost of Common Stock ⇒ B. the rate of return on retained earnings, and adjusted for flotation costs .
Commons stock costs is the required return on the retained earnings of a company.
WACC ⇒ D. the average cost of raising new financing.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) represents the total cost of raising capital for the company as it incorporates the costs of debt, preferred stock and common stock.
Suppose that the reserve requirement for checking deposits is 20 percent and that banks do not hold any excess reserves. If the Fed sells $3 million of government bonds, the economy's reservesdecrease by $ million, and the money supply will by $ million. Now suppose the Fed lowers the reserve requirement to 15 percent, but banks choose to hold another 5 percent of deposits as excess reserves. True or False: The money multiplier will remain unchanged. True False True or False: As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged. True False
Answer:
1. decrease, $ 3 million, decrease, $ 15 million
2. TRUE
3. TRUE
Explanation:
1. The reverse requirement is given as r = 0.2
The money multiplier is [tex]$\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{0.2}=5$[/tex]
Now when the monetary base is changed by $3 million, then the total money supply will change by [tex]$\frac{3}{0.2}= \$ 15 \ mn$[/tex].
Of the $ 15 mn, the reverse will change by $ 15 mn x 0.2 = $ 3 mn.
If Fed sells the government bond of $ 3 million, then the money supply will reduce and the economy's reverses will decrease by $ 3 million and the money supply will decrease by $ 15 million.
2. TRUE
Now if the bank reduces the reserve ratio but he bank maintains excess reserves, then the money multiplier = [tex]$\frac{1}{(r+e)}=\frac{1}{0.15+0.05}=5$[/tex]
Therefore, the money multiplier will remain same, it will remain unchanged.
3. TRUE.
Since the money multiplier remains constant, the overall change in money supply will not increase. It remains the same.
Consider the economies of Sporon and Gribinez, both of which produce agricultural products using only land and labor. The following tables show the supply of land, population size, and real GDP for these two economies from 2020 to 2023. Calculate real GDP per capita for the two economies, and complete the last column of the following two tables.
Sporon

2022 20,000 1,500 $16,500 $
2023 20,000 2,000 $24,000 $
Rapid population growth tends to threaten economic growth in economies with land-to-labor ratios. Which of the following is a correct description of the effect of population growth on economic growth in Gribinez from 2020 to 2023?
a. *Real GDP per capita rose initially but eventually fell as population continued to expand.
b. *Real GDP per capita rose from 2011 to 2014 as population increased.
c. *Real GDP per capita fell in*Real GDP per capita fell from 2011 to 2014 as population increased.
Answer:
Sporon
2020 $15
2021 $14
2022 $12
2023 $10
Gribinez
2020 $9
2021 $10
2022 $11
2023 $12
Real GDP per capita rose from 2020 to 2023 as population increased.
Explanation:
Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living
Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Sporon
2020 : $15,000 / 1000 = $15
2021: $28,000 / 2000 = $14
2022 : $36,000 /3,000 = $12
2023: $40,000/4000 = $10
Gribinez
2020 : $4500 / 500= $9
2021 : $10,000 / 1000 = $10
2022 $16,500 / 1500= $11
2023: $24,000 / 2000 = $12
The real GDP per capita of Gribinez rose from 2011 to 2014 as population increased because the rate of increase of real GDP per capita was higher than the rate of increase in population
Rate of increase of population in 2022 = (1500 / 1000) - 1 = 0.5 = 50%
Rate of increase in Real GDP in 2022 = (16500 / 10,000) - 1 = 0.65 = 65%

Problem 11-5 Next week, Super Discount Airlines has a flight from New York to Los Angeles that will be booked to capacity. The airline knows from past history that an average of 40 customers (with a standard deviation of 26) cancel their reservation or do not show for the flight. Revenue from a ticket on the flight is $140. If the flight is overbooked, the airline has a policy of getting the customer on the next available flight and giving the person a free round-trip ticket on a future flight. The cost of this free round-trip ticket averages $270. Super Discount considers the cost of flying the plane from New York to Los Angeles a sunk cost. By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Overbooked by passengers
Answer:
29 Seats
Explanation:
Calculation to determine By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight
First step is to calculate the Critical ratio using this formula
Critical ratio=Cu/Cu +Co
Where,
Cu represent cost of underestimating the demand =$140
Co represent the cost of overestimating the demand =$270
Let plug in the formula
Critical ratio=$140/$140+$270
Critical ratio=$140/$410
Critical ratio=0.34146
Second step is to use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find thez-score that yields a p-value of 0.34146 which gives us -0.40848
Now let determine By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight= 40 + (-0.40848 x 26)
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=40 - 10.62048=
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29.37952
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29.4 seats (Approximately)
Numbers of seats to overbook the flight=29 seats (Rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore By how many seats should Super Discount overbook the flight is 29 seats

Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling price $ 150 100 % Variable expenses 60 40 % Contribution margin $ 90 60 % The company is currently selling 7,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $214,000 per month. The marketing manager believes that a $7,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change? rev: 03_09_2018_
Answer:
Effect on income= $9,600 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= $90
The marketing manager believes that a $7,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 190 unit increase in monthly sales.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= increase in total contribution margin - increase in fixed costs
Effect on income= 190*90 - 7,500
Effect on income= 17,100 - 7,500
Effect on income= $9,600 increase

A NOW account requires a minimum balance of $750 for interest to be earned at an annual rate of 4 percent. An account holder has maintained an average balance of $500 for the first six months and $1,000 for the remaining six months. The account holder writes an average of 60 checks per month and pays $0.02 per check, although it costs the bank $0.05 to clear a check.
Required:
a. What average return does the account holder earn on the account?
b. What is the average return if the bank lowers the minimum balance to $400?
c. What is the average return if the bank pays interest only on the amount in excess of $400? Assume that the minimum required balance is $400.
d. How much should the bank increase its check fee to the account holder to ensure that the average interest it pays on this account is 5 percent? Assume that the minimum required balance is $750.
Answer:
a. Average return = 5.55%
b. Average return = 6.88%
c. Average return = 4.75%
d. Bank increase per check fees = $.0257
Explanation:
a.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0×6 / 12 = $0
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12= $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $20 + $21.6 = $41.6
Given,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $41.6 / $750 = 5.55%
b.)
Interest earned on first $500 = $500×0.04×6 / 12 = $10
Interest earned on next $1000 = $1000×0.04×6 / 12 = $20
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $10 + $20 + $21.6 = $51.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $51.6 / $750 = 6.88%
c.)
Interest earned on first $100 = $100×0.04×6 / 12 = $2
Interest earned on next $600 = $600×0.04×6 / 12 = $12
Now,
Fees earned on checks = ($.05 - $.02)×60×12 = $21.6
So,
Total interest earned = $2 + $12 + $21.6 = $35.6
Given that,
Average balance maintained = $750
So,
Average return = $35.6 / $750 = 4.75%
d.)
Total interest earned = $750×0.05 = $37.5
So,
fees earned on checks = $37.5 - $20 = $17.5
Subsidiary per check = $17.5 / 60×12 = $.0243
So,
Bank increase per check fees = $.05 – $.0243 = $.0257
