C) Diversity: Invite a diverse set of individuals from across the company to participate in the forecasting process.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A, B, and C

Explanation:

When forecasting, it is important that the cognitive resources of a diverse range of people are used. This is why it is important that a diverse set of individuals in the organization are allowed to discuss and brainstorm together as a group so as to come up with the best forecasts.

Individuals should also be incentivized to forecast accurately. These incentives can either reward accuracy or punish overforecasting such that the individuals try their best to forecast accurately.

JoeFit, Inc. is using the basic FOQ model to manage its inventory for K2 microprocessors. The setup cost per order is $200 and the inventory carrying cost is $0.05 per chip per year. Suppose the company is placing the optimal order quantity in each order and the resulting total annual setup and carrying costs are $32,000. What is the annual demand of the K2 microprocessors

Answers

Answer:

51.2 million

Explanation:

The computation of the annual demand is shown below:

As we know that the total annual setup cost and the carrying cost would be equivalent to EOQ

Since the total annual setup cost & carrying cost is $32,000

So, for each it would be $16,000

Now

Total number of orders is

= $16000 ÷ $200

= 80 orders

And, Total inventory carrying cost = 0.05 × (EOQ ÷ 2)

$16000 = 0.05 × EOQ ÷ 2

$32000 ÷ 0.05 = EOQ

EOQ = 640000 units

Now

Total demand = 640000 × 80

= 51200000

= 51.2 million

The annual demand for the K2 microprocessors is 51.2 million.

The total annual setup and carrying costs are $32,000, therefore, the value of each will be:

= $32000/2

= $16000.

The total number of orders will be:

= 16000/200 = 80 orders

The economic order quantity will be:

16000 = 0.05 × (EOQ/2)

EOQ = 32000/0.05

EOQ = 640000

The total demand will be:

= 640000 × 80 = 51.2 million

In conclusion, the annual demand of the K2 microprocessors is 51.2 million.

(a) Compute the total materials variance and the price and quantity variances.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (5.9 - 5.65)*26,600

Direct material price variance= $6,650 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (7,300*3.6 - 26,600)*5.9

You run a construction firm. You have just won a contract to build a government office building Building it will require an investment of $10 million today and $5 million in one year. The government will pay you $20 million in one year upon the building's completion. Suppose the cash flows and their times of payment are certain, and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. What is the NPV of this opportunity? b. How can your firm turn this NPV into cash today?

Answers

Answer:

$3.64 million

The Npv can be turned into cash by borrowing $18.18 million today and paying back in one year time with the $20 million that would be paid

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-10 million

Cash flow in year 1 = $20 million - $5 million = 15 million

I = 10%

NPV = 3.63 million

The Npv can be turned into cash by borrowing $18.18 million today as the present value of 20 million is 18.18 million

20 million / 1.10 = 18.18 million

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Rachel's Designs has 2,000 shares of 7%, $50 par value cumulative preferred stock issued at the beginning of 2019. All remaining shares are common stock. Due to cash flow difficulties, the company was not able to pay dividends in 2019 or 2020. The company plans to pay total dividends of $23,000 in 2021. How much of the $23,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders

Answers

Answer:

the dividend paid to preferred stockholders and  paid to common stockholders is $21,000 and $2,000 respectively

Explanation:

The computation of the dividend paid to preferred stockholders and  paid to common stockholders is shown below:

For preferred stockholders

= (2,000 × 7% × $50) × 3 years (2019,2020 and 2021)

= $7,000 × 3 years

= $21,000

And, for common stockholders

= $23,000 - $21,000

= $2,000

Hence,  the dividend paid to preferred stockholders and  paid to common stockholders is $21,000 and $2,000 respectively

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The current price = [tex]\dfrac{Dividend(D_o) \times (1+ Growth \ rate) }{\text{Cost of capital -Growth rate}}[/tex]

[tex]15 = \dfrac{0.50 \times (1+ Growth rate)}{8\%-Growth rate}[/tex]

[tex]15 \times (8 -Growth \ rate) = 0.50 +(0.50 \times growth \ rate)[/tex]

[tex]1.20 - (15 \times Growth \ rate) = 0.50 + (0.50 \times growth \ rate)[/tex]

[tex]0.70 = (15 \times growth \ rate) \\ \\ Growth \ rate = \dfrac{0.70}{15.50} \\ \\ Growth \ rate = 0.04516 \\ \\ Growth \ rate \simeq 4.52\% \\ \\[/tex]

2. The value of the stock  

Calculate the earnings at the end of  5 years:

[tex]Earnings (E_o) \times Dividend \ payout \ ratio = Dividend (D_o) \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) \times 35\% = \$0.50 \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) =\dfrac{\$0.50}{35\%} \\ \\ = \$1.42857[/tex]

[tex]Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = Earnings (E_o) \times (1 + Growth \ rate)^{no \ of \ years} \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$1.42857 \times (1 + 12\%)^5 \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$2.51763[/tex]

Terminal value year 5 = [tex]\dfrac{Earnings (E_5) \times (1+ Growth \ rate)}{Interest \ rate - Growth \ rate}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{\$2.51763\times (1+0.04516)}{8\%-0.04516}[/tex]

=$75.526

Discount all potential future cash flows as follows to determine the stock's value:

[tex]\text{Value of stock today} =\bigg( \sum \limits ^{\text{no of years}}_{year =1} \dfrac{Dividend (D_o) \times 1 +Growth rate ) ^{\text{no of years}}}{(1+ interest rate )^{no\ of\ years} }[/tex]

[tex]+ \dfrac{Terminal\ Value }{(1+interest \ rate )^{no \ of \ years}} \Bigg)[/tex]

[tex]\implies \bigg(\dfrac{\$0.50\times (1 + 12\%)^1) }{(1+ 8\%)^{1} }+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^2 }{(1+8\% )^{2}}+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^3 }{(1+8\% )^{3}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^4 }{(1+8\% )^{4}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^5 }{(1+8\% )^{5}} + \dfrac{\$75.526}{(1+8\% )^{5}} \bigg )[/tex]

[tex]\implies \bigg(\dfrac{\$0.5600}{1.0800}+\dfrac{\$0.62720}{1.16640}+\dfrac{\$0.70246}{1.2597}+\dfrac{\$0.78676}{1.3605}+\dfrac{\$0.88117}{1.4693}+ \dfrac{\$75.526}{1.4693} \bigg)[/tex]

=$ 54.1945

As a result, the analysts value the stock at $54.20, which is below their own estimates.

3. The value of the stock  

Calculate the earnings at the end of  5 years:

[tex]Earnings (E_o) \times Dividend payout ratio = Dividend (D_o) \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) \times 35\% = \$0.50 \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) =\dfrac{\$0.50}{35\%}\\ \\ = \$1.42857[/tex]

[tex]Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = Earnings (E_o) \times (1 + Growth \ rate)^{no \ of \ years} \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$1.42857 \times (1 + 12\%)^5 \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$2.51763 \\ \\[/tex]

Terminal value year 5 =[tex]\dfrac{Earnings (E_5) \times (1+ Growth \ rate)\times dividend \ payout \ ratio}{Interest \ rate - Growth \ rate}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{\$2.51763\times (1+ 7 \%) \times 20\%}{8\%-7\%}[/tex]

=$53.8773

Discount all potential cash flows as follows to determine the stock's value:

[tex]\text{Value of stock today} =\bigg( \sum \limits ^{\text{no of years}}_{year =1} \dfrac{Dividend (D_o) \times 1 + Growth rate ) ^{\text{no of years}}}{(1+ interest rate )^{no \ of\ years} }+ \dfrac{Terminal \ Value }{(1+interest \ rate )^{no \ of \ years }} \bigg)[/tex]

[tex]\implies \bigg( \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1 + 12\%)^1) }{(1+ 8\%)^{1} }+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^2 }{(1+8\% )^{2}}+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^3 }{(1+8\% )^{3}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^4 }{(1+8\% )^{4}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^5 }{(1+8\% )^{5}} + \dfrac{\$53.8773}{(1+8\% )^{5}} \bigg)[/tex]

[tex]\implies \bigg (\dfrac{\$0.5600}{1.0800}+\dfrac{\$0.62720}{1.16640}+\dfrac{\$0.70246}{1.2597}+\dfrac{\$0.78676}{1.3605}+\dfrac{\$0.88117}{1.4693}+ \dfrac{\$53.8773}{1.4693} \bigg)[/tex]

=$39.460

As a result, the price is $39.460, and the other strategy would raise the value of the shareholders. Not this one, since paying a 100% dividend would result in a price of $54.20, which is higher than the current price.

Notice that the third question depicts the situation after 5 years, but the final decision will be the same since we are discounting in current terms. If compounding is used, the future value over 5 years is just the same as the first choice, which is the better option.

The presumption in the second portion is that after 5 years, the steady growth rate would be the same as measured in the first part (1).

On December 31, Year 3, Alpha Company had an ending balance of $200,000 in its accounts receivable account and an unadjusted (current) balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts account of $300. Alpha estimates uncollectible accounts expense to be 1% of receivables. Based on this information, the amount of uncollectible accounts expense shown on the Year 3 income statement is:______.
a. $2.300.
b. $2200.
c. $1700.
d. $2.000.

Answers

Answer:

c. $1700.

Explanation:

The computation of the uncollectible account expense is shown below:

= Account receivable × estimated percentage - unadjusted balance

= $200,000 ×1% - $300

= $2,000 - $300

= $1,700

hence the  uncollectible account expense is $1,700

Hence, the correct option is c.

In January of the current year, Dora made a gift of stock to her granddaughter. At the time of the gift, the stock was worth $15,000. Several months later in the same year after the gift, a $500 dividend was declared on the stock and paid to Dora's granddaughter. What amount must Dora's granddaughter include in her gross income for the current year

Answers

Answer:

$500

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that the DIVIDEND of the amount of $500 which was declared on the stock was paid to Dora's granddaughter Several months later, which means that the amount that Dora's granddaughter must include in her GROSS INCOME for the current year will be the dividend amount of $500 that was paid to Dora's granddaughter.

Therefore the amount that Dora's granddaughter must include in her gross income for the current year is $500

Explanation:

Given:

                              Q1                Q2           Q3           Q4

Sales ($)               860              940         900         1,000

Therefore, we  have:

a. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming that the company places orders during each quarter equal to 30 percent of projected sales for the next quarter. Assume that the company pays immediately. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

This is done as follows:

                                                 Q1                Q2           Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

b. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 90-day payables period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

A 90-day payables period implies that the payment has be made within the next 90 days or within one quarter or the same quarter. Therefore, we have:

                                                 Q1               Q2             Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

c. Calculate payments to suppliers assuming a 60-day payables period.

A 60-day payables period implies the payment for the Order in each of the quarters has to be made in the same quarter.

Therefore, we have:

                                                 Q1               Q2             Q3            Q4

Order (30% of Sales) ($)      258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Payment of accounts ($)     258.00       282.00       270.00    300.00

Answers

Answer:

Apportioned set-up cost

Plus =$21,600

Max=$43,200

Explanation:

Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.  

Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.

The cost driver in this scenario is the number of set-ups

Activity rate per driver is calculated as:  

Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period

So, we can apply this formula to the scenario above:

Set-up overhead= $64,800

Total set-ups for the period = 20 + 40 = 60

Overhead cost per set-up = $64,800/60=1,080

Set-up cost allocation:

Plus - 20 × 1,080=$21,600

Max- 40 × 1,080=$43,200

Apportioned set-up cost

Plus =$21,600

Max-=$43,200

A firm is operating in the United States with only two other competitors in the industry. a. It is likely this industry would be characterized as: multiple choice 1 monopolistically competitive. perfectly competitive. oligopoly. pure monopoly. b. Firms in this industry will likely earn: multiple choice 2 a normal profit. an economic profit. an economic loss. c. If foreign firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that: multiple choice 3 economic profits will fall.

Answers

Answer:

a. oligopoly.

b. an economic profit.

c. economic profits will fall.

Explanation:

An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.

Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.

The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;

I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.

II. Market control by many small firms.

III. Difficult entry to new firms.

Hence, a firm operating in the United States of America with only two other competitors in the industry is likely to be an industry that would be characterized as oligopoly.

Additionally, business firms operating in this industry (oligopolistic market) will likely earn an economic profit. Also, if foreign business firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall because the industry is now being competitive and controlled by other business firms.

In economics, market structure refers to how different industries are distinguished depending on the degree and form of product and services rivalry. It's based on the features that influence the outcomes and behaviors of businesses in a given market.

a) An oligopoly is a business that operates in the United States with only two other competitors in the same industry.

Reason:

An oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of enterprises and high entry barriers. A competitive environment in which there are just a few vendors reveals to be Oligopoly because there are only two competitors available in the business.

b) Oligopolistic businesses will almost certainly make an economic profit.

Reason:

In an oligopoly, all firms would have to work together to raise prices and make a bigger profit. The bulk of oligopolies form in industries where goods are essentially homogeneous and give essentially the same advantage to customers.

c) Economic earnings are expected to diminish or fall if international enterprises begin to supply the product, increasing the number of competitors.

Reason:

As the supply curve changes to the right, the market price begins to fall, and as a result, existing and new enterprises' economic earnings fall. Due to the entry of new enterprises, which pulls down the market price, economic profit is zero in the long term.

Joint products A and B emerge from common processing that costs $116,000 and yields 4,000 units of Product A and 2,800 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $280 per unit. Product B can be sold for $100 per unit. How much of the joint cost will be assigned to Product A if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales values

Answers

Answer:

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800

Explanation:

Joint costs are the costs incurred up until the split-off where two or more products result from the same production process. These  common costs need to be apportioned among the joint products using any of the following basis:

physical unitsRelative sales value basis.

The relative value basis apportions joint costs using the proportion of product individual sales value to the the total sales value.

Total sales value = (280×4,000) + (100×2,800) =1400000

Apportioned joint cost to A =(1,120,000/1,400,000)× 116,000=92800

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800

Epsilon currently pays $76 per unit to buy a part for a product it sells. Epsilon has excess capacity, and estimates that making the part would incur variable costs of $8 for direct materials and $40 for direct labor. Epsilon's normal predetermined overhead rate is 150% of direct labor cost, but management computes an incremental overhead rate of $16.00 per unit to make this part. Epsilon should choose to:___.
A. Buy since the relevant cost to make it is $82 per unit.
B. Make since the relevant cost to make it is $61.20 per unit.
C. Buy since the relevant cost to make it is more than $74.00 per unit.

Buying price= $76

Make in-house:

Direct material= $8

Direct labor= $40

Incremental Overhead= $16

The total cost of production is:

Total unitary cost of production= 8 + 40 + 16

Total unitary cost of production= $64

If the company males the unit, it will save $12 per unit.

Waterway Industries purchased land as a factory site for $1335000. Waterway paid $120000 to tear down two buildings on the land. Salvage was sold for $8300. Legal fees of $5220 were paid for title investigation and making the purchase. Architect's fees were $46000. Title insurance cost $3900, and liability insurance during construction cost $4200. Excavation cost $15280. The contractor was paid $4500000. An assessment made by the city for pavement was $9700. Interest costs during construction were $258000. The cost of the land that should be recorded by Waterway Industries is $1479620. $1465520. $1469920. $1455820.

Answers

Answer:

$1,465,520

Explanation:

Calculation of cost of the land that should be recorded by Water ways industries

Cost of land = Purchase price + demolition of building - sales of salvage + legal fees + Title insurance cost + Payment assessment

Cost of land = $1,335,000 + $120,000 - $8,300 + $5,220 + $3,900 + $9,700

Cost of land = $1,465,520

Break-even sales and sales to realize operating incomeFor the current year ended March 31, Cosgrove Company expects fixed costs of $465,000, a unit variable cost of $62, and a unit selling price of $92.a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units).fill in the blank 1 unitsb. Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $108,000.fill in the blank 2 units

Answers

Answer:

Break even point in units=15,500 units

Units to achieve target profit=19,100 units

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs

Break-even point (in units) is calculated using this formula:  

Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)

Break even point in units=  $465,000/(92-62)=15,500 units

Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period + target profit)/ contribution per unit

Units to achieve target profit of 108,000 = ($465,000+  108,000)/ (92-62)=19,100 units

Break even point in units=15,500 units

Units to achieve target profit=19,100 units

At the beginning of 2020, Beerbo acquired a mine for $970,000. Of this amount, $100,000 was ascribed to the land value (the remaining portion was ascribed to the mine). Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,000,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Beerbo incurred $170,000 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use (when all of the minerals have been removed) is $40,000. During 2020, 2,500,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,100,000 of these units were sold. What is the amount extracted in 2020

Answers

Answer:

$225,000

Explanation:

Depletion rate = [Mine cost - Land value + Obligation to prepare the land for an alternative + Development cost] / Total number of ore extracted

Depletion rate = [$970,000 - $100,000 + $40,000 + $170,000] / $12,000,000

Depletion rate = $1,080,000/$12,000,000

Depletion rate = $0.09

Amount extracted in 2020 = Unit of ore extracted in 2020 / Depletion rate

Amount extracted in 2020 = 2,500,000 units * $0.09

Amount extracted in 2020 = $225,000

Mary Magnolia wants to open a flower shop, the Petal Pusher, in a new mall. She has her choice of three different floor sizes, 200 square feet, 500 square feet, or 1,000 square feet. The monthly rent will be $1 a square foot. Mary estimates that if she has F square feet of floor space and sells y bouquets a month, her variable costs will be cv(y) = y^ 3/ 4F per month.

Required:
a. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?
b. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost? .
c. If she has 1,000 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Answers

Answer:

a-1. We have:

MC = 3y^2 / 800 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function

AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800)  <=== Average cost (AC) function

a-2. The amount of output is 43.09 bouquets.

a-3. Average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.

b-1. We have:

MC = 3y^2 / 2,000  <=== Marginal cost (MC) function

AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function

b-2. The amount of output is 79.37 bouquets.

b-3. Average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.

c-1. We have:

MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 <=== Marginal cost (MC) function

AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) <=== Average cost (AC) function

c-2. The amount of output is 125.99 bouquets.

c-3. Average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.

Explanation:

Given:

cv(y) = y^3/ 4F  ………………… (1)

cf = fixed cost = F

Therefore, total cost (C) per month is as follows:

C(y) = cf + cv(y) = y^ 3/ 4F

C(y) = F + y^3 / 4F ……………………… (2)

a-1. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.

This implies that:

F = 200

Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 200 as follows:

MC = cv’(y)

MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 200)

MC = 3y^2 / 800 ………………. (3) <= Marginal cost (MC) function

Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 200 and solve as follows:

AC = C’(y) = (200 / y) + (y^3 / 4F) / y

AC = (200 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 200)) / y

AC = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800) …………………. (4) <= Average cost (AC) function

a-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?

Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (3) and (4) and solve for y as follows:

3y^2 / 800 = (200 / y) + (y^2 / 800)

0.00375y^2 = (200 / y) + 0.00125y^2

0.00375y^2 - 0.00125y^2 = 200 / y

0.0025y^2 = 200 / y

(0.0025y^2)y = 200

0.0025y^3 = 200

y^3 = 200 / 0.0025

y^3 = 80,000

y = 80,000^(1/3)

y = 43.09

Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 43.09 bouquets.

a-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Substituting y = 43.09 into equation (4), we have:

AC = (200 / 43.09) + (43.09^2 / 800)

AC = 6.96

Therefore, average cost at this level is $6.96 per unit.

b-1. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.

This implies that:

F = 500

Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 500 as follows:

MC = cv’(y)

MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 500)

MC = 3y^2 / 2,000 ………………. (5) <= Marginal cost (MC) function

Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 500 and solve as follows:

AC = C’(y) = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y

AC = (500 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 500)) / y

AC = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000) …………………. (6) <= Average cost (AC) function

b-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?

Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (5) and (6) and solve for y as follows:

3y^2 / 2,000 = (500 / y) + (y^2 / 2,000)

0.0015y^2 = (500 / y) + 0.0005y^2

0.0015y^2 - 0.0005y^2 = 500 / y

0.001y^2 = 500y

0.001y^2 * y = 500

0.001y^3 = 500

y^3 = 500 / 0.001

y^3 = 500,000

y = 500,000^(1/3)

y = 79.37

Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 79.37 bouquets.

b-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Substituting y = 79.37 into equation (6), we have:

AC = (500 / 79.37) + (79.37^2 / 2,000)

AC = 9.45

Therefore, average cost at this level is $9.45 per unit.

c-1. If she has 1,000 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function.

This implies that:

F = 1,000

Marginal cost (MC) function is obtained by taking the first derivative of equation (1) and substituting F = 1,000 as follows:

MC = cv’(y)

MC = 3y^2 / (4 * 1,000)

MC = 3y^2 / 4,000 ………………. (7) <= Marginal cost (MC) function

Average cost (AC) function can be obtained by dividing equation (2) by y, substituting F = 1,000 and solve as follows:

AC = C’(y) = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4 * 1,000)) / y

AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^3 / (4,000)) / y

AC = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000) …………………. (8) <= Average cost (AC) function

c-2. At what amount of output is average cost minimized?

Since average cost is minimized when MC = AC, we therefore equate equations (7) and (8) and solve for y as follows:

3y^2 / 4,000 = (1,000 / y) + (y^2 / 4,000)

0.00075y^2 = (1,000 / y) + 0.00025y^2

0.00075y^2 - 0.00025y^2 = 1,000 / y

0.0005y^2 = 1,000 / y

0.0005y^2 * y = 1,000

y^3 = 1,000 / 0.0005

y^3 = 2,000,000

y = 2,000,000^(1/3)

y = 125.99

Therefore, the amount of output at which is average cost minimized is 125.99 bouquets.

c-3. At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Substituting y = 125.99 into equation (8), we have:

AC = (1,000 / 125.99) + (125.99^2 / 4,000)

AC = 11.91

Therefore, average cost at this level is $11.91 per unit.

Possible misstatements that may occur during the cash receipts process result from cash receipts being received, but not recorded (which could facilitate embezzlement). A control technique that is used to mitigate the risk of such misstatements is to segregate the duties of the accounts receivable department, general ledger accounting records, and cash receipts. The employee who completed each duty is required to sign his/her initials, and evidence of this has been provided for you in the Accounts_Receivable file. In each transaction, proper segregation of duties is accomplished when no two duties have been completed by the same person. Use IDEA and the information from Roger Company Accounts_Receivable file to determine in which transactions segregation of duties was not properly implemented.

Answers

Answer:

There should be strong internal controls implemented and segregation of duties in the finance department.

Explanation:

There is lack of internal controls present in the company which may lead to fraud or errors. The employees assigned to record the transaction are not recording all the cash receipts and are missing some of the cash receipts which can cause errors during reconciliation. The sub divisions of finance department must be segregated and there should be a supervisor who should be responsible to review all the work done by these departments.

Suppose two types of firms wish to borrow in the bond market. Firms of type A are in good financial health and are relatively low risk. The appropriate premium over the risk-free rate for lending to these firms is 2%. Firms of type B are in poor financial health and are relatively high risk. The appropriate premium over the risk-free rate for lending to these firms is 6%. As an investor, you have no other information about these firms except that type A and type B firms exist in equal numbers.
A. At what interest rate would you be willing to lend if the risk-free rate were 6%?
B. Would this market function well? What type of asymmetric information problem does this example illustrate?

Answers

Answer:

A. I would be willing to lend at average rate of 10%

B-1. No, this market will not function well.

B-2. This example illustrates an adverse selection problem.

Explanation:

A. At what interest rate would you be willing to lend if the risk-free rate were 6%?

Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond = Premium over the risk-free rate of Type A firm + Risk-free rate = 2% + 6% = 8%

Appropriate interest rate for type B firm bond = Premium over the risk-free rate of Type B firm + Risk-free rate = 6% + 6% = 12%

Average rate = (Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond + Appropriate interest rate for type B firm bond) / 2 = (8% + 12%) / 2 = 10%

Since the probability of any of the two firms is equal and I do not have the knowledge of which type of firm they are dealing with, I would be willing to lend at average rate of 10%.

B-1. Would this market function well?

No, this market will not function well.

The reason is that the average rate of 10% is higher than the Appropriate interest rate for type A firm bond of 8%. This would make the type A firm to withdraw from the market and only type B firm will be left in the market.

B-2. What type of asymmetric information problem does this example illustrate?

This example illustrates an adverse selection problem. This is because after type A firm which is a desirable leaves the market, only type B firm which is  the less desirable firms will be willing to borrow. This makes the quality of the market to detoriorate.
