You are 25 years old and are considering full-time study for an MBA degree. Tuition and other direct costs will be $60,000 per year for two years. In addition, you will have to give up your current job that has a salary of $50,000 per year. Assume tuition is paid and salary received at the end of each year. By how much does your salary have to increase (in real terms) as a result of getting your MBA degree to justify the investment? Assume a real interest rate of 2% per year, ignore taxes, assume that the salaries for both jobs increase at the rate of inflation (i.e. they stay constant in real terms), and that you retire at 65. Note: the $1 for T periods annuity formula is (1/r)*[1-1/(1+r)^T]. g

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$8,403.73

Explanation:

The job will be started at the age of 27 ( 25 years + 2 years ) and retirement will be at the age of 65.

Hence the employment years are 38 years ( 65- 27 ).

Cost of MBA program = Direct cost + Opportunity cost =  $60,000 + $50,000 = $110,000

At the age of 27, the total cost of the program will be

Total Cost of MBA program = Cost of program in first year + Cost of program in last year = $110,000 +  ( $110,000 x ( 1 + 2% ) ) = $110,000 + $112,200 = $222,200

Use the following formula to calculate teh required salary

Calculate the annuity factor

Annuity factor = (1/r)*[1-1/(1+r)^T] = (1/2%)*[1-1/(1+2%)^38] = 26.440640602064

Now use the following formula to calculate the required salary

Required salary = Total cost of MBA program / Annuity factor for 38 years at 2% = $222,200 / 26.440640602064 = $8,403.73

Required:
Allocate Jessica's annual wages between the two departments.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the allocation made of Jessica annual wages between two department is as follows:

Department  Hours worked  % of hours worked  Wages   Allocation

Jewelry            (51 + 9) = 60      70.59%                    $13,800   $9,741

The following summarizes the activity in the account during the year: DateValue Immediately Before DepositDeposit March 154020 June 18080 October 117575 On June 30, the value of the account is 157.50. On December 31, the value of the account is X. Using the time-weighted method, the equivalent annual effective yield during the first 6 months is equal to the (time-weighted) annual effective yield during the entire 1-year period. Calculate X.

Answers

Answer:

236.25

Explanation:

Calculation to determine X

First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield

6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)

6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1

6 month Yield=5%

Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent

Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1

Annual equivalent=10.25%

Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1

1 year yield=0.1025

Now Let calculate X

x(0.004667)=1+.1025

x(0.004667)=1.1025

x=1.1025/0.004667

x=236.25

Therefore X is 236.25

Leto Company manufactures a certain type of alloy. The alloy undergoes a hardening process. The hardening unit is operating at full capacity and is a production constraint. The unit contribution margin and the number of hours of hardening treatment used by the alloy are as follows: Unit selling price$96.80 Unit variable cost(23.50) Unit contribution margin$73.30 Hardening treatment hours per unit5 hrs. Assuming Leto produces 2,300 units of the alloy, calculate the unit contribution margin per production constraint hour.

Answers

Answer:

Leto Company

The unit contribution margin per production constraint hour is:

= $0.00637.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Unit selling price =              $96.80

Unit variable cost =              (23.50)

Unit contribution margin = $73.30

Hardening treatment hours per unit = 5 hours

Units of alloy produced = 2,300

Total hours spent on hardening treatment = 11,500 (5 * 2,300)

Contribution margin per production constraint hour = Unit contribution margin/Total hours spent on hardening treatment

= $0.00637 ($73.30/11,500)

b) The unit contribution margin per production constraint hour shows the contribution margin that is made per unit of the production constraint.  The production constraint is the limited input resources that are available for production.  It is a product of the units of the alloy that Leto produces and the number of hours required to produce one unit.

g A manufacturer is considering replacing a production machine tool. The new machine would cost $3700, have a life of four years, have no salvage value, and save the firm $500 per year in direct labor cost and $200 per year indirect labor costs. The existing machine tool was purchased four years ago at a cost of $4000. It will last four more years and have no salvage value at the end of that time. It could be sold now for $1000 cash. Assume money is worth 8%, and that the difference in taxes, insurance, and so forth, for the two alternatives is negligible. Determine whether or not the new machine should be purchased

Answers

Answer:

The new machine should not be purchased

Explanation:

Calculation to determine whether or not the new machine should be purchased

Calculation for the New Machine

EUAC = $3,700 (A/P, 8%, 4) - $500 - $200

EUAC= $3,700 (0.3019) - $700

EUAC=$1,117.03+$700

EUAC= $417.03

Calculation for EXISTING MACHINE

EUAC = $1,000 (A/P, 8%, 4)

EUAC= $1,000 (0.3019)

EUAC= $301.90

Therefore based on the above calculation The new machine should NOT be purchased reason been that it is more COSTLIER than the Existing Machine

Manufacturers use several different production processes to create goods and services.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

A) true

Explanation:

Manufacturing involves converting raw materials into useful finished product. Manufacturers engage different production processes in creation of goods/ services, and the choice of process to use is dependent on the kind of products/ goods that were to be produced. In choosing process or production methods desires of the market as well as available resources and volumes need to be put into consideration. For instance, in steel manufacturing, the process is one that requires a continuous process, therefore, CONTINUOUS PROCESS is used. A production plant involving working together of both workers and robot works together in assembling if automobiles requires a "ASSEMBLY PROCESS"

In the market for pickled herring there are two competing producers: Abbas and Taste of Base. Both herring manufacturers have fixed cost of $240,000 a year and a constant marginal cost (AVC) of $1.80 per jar. In the current year, Abbas produced and sold 125,000 jars of herring while Taste of Base produced and sold 150,000 jars. Based on this information, we can expect Taste of Base's quantity sold to _____________ and its ________ in the future.

Answers

Answer: a. increase; average fixed cost to decrease.

Explanation:

Taste of Base produced and sold 150,000 jars of herring which was more than that of Abbas. As far as competition goes, Base is ahead of Abbas and this will only increase in future as they have the same cost yet are ahead. This efficiency will ensure that their quantity sold will increase.  

Their average fixed cost will therefore decrease because average fixed cost is total fixed cost divided by the number of units produced so with a higher production level, there will be less average fixed cost.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) reports that the HP Spectre laptop computer starts at $994.00 for a base configuration. The model displayed at its recent show costs $1,353, $118 more than the comparable 13-inch Apple MacBook Air. If Computers-R-Us buys the HP Spectre at the show with 3/15, net 30 terms on August 26, how much does it need to pay on September 9

Answers

Answer: $1312.41

Explanation:

The following information can be depicted from the question:

Cost of HP Spectre laptop = $1353

Credit terms = 3/15, net 30

Therefore, since discount allowed is 3%, the complement of the discount rate will be:

= 100% - 3%

= 97%

Therefore, amount needed to pay will be:

= Listed price × Complement of discounts rate

= $1353 × 97%

= $1353 × 0.97

= $1312.41

Therefore, the amount needed to pay is $1312.41

if a bond with a $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon interest rate of 10% was selling for $1100, then the yield to maturity on that bond is: A. is less than 10% B. is greater than 10% C. is 10% D. cannot be determined g

Answers

Answer:

a

Explanation:

the yield to maturity of a bond is the total return on a bond if the bond is held to maturity. it is the equivalent of the internal rate of return.

If the yield to maturity is greater than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a discount

If the yield to maturity is less than the bonds coupon rate the bond is selling at a premium

If a bond’s coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity, then the bond is selling at par.

the bond is selling at a premium as 1100 is greater than 1000. Thus, the ytm is less than 10%

You got asked to analyze a 5-year project for your firm. The project produces an annual revenue of $28,500, but requires an annual labor and materials cost of $5,000. To initiate the project your firm must invest $20,000. The salvage value of the project is $0 at the end of the 5-year useful life.

Required:
Use straight line depreciation and a 40% income tax rate to compute the:

a. after-tax cash flows
b. the IRR for the ATCF of this project.

Answers

Answer:

= 15700

73.5%

Explanation:

Cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation = 15700

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

20,000 / 5 = 4,000

($28,500 - $5000 - $4000) x (1-0.4) + 4000 = $15700

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = -20,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 15,700

IRR = 73.5%

To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

Yuri owns just one ship, he calls it Previt. The ship is worth $25 million dollars. If the ship sinks, Yuri loses $25 million. The probability that it will sink is .02. Yuri's total wealth, including the value of the ship is $50 million. He is an expected utility maximizer with utility U(W) equal to W2. What is the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship

Answers

Answer:

$745,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship

First step is to calculate the Expected Utility (√W)

Expected Utility = (98% x √$25,000,000) + (2% x √$0)

Expected Utility = $4,900

Second step is to calculate the Fair premium of insurance policy using this formula

Fair premium of insurance policy = Probability of loss x Size of loss

Let plug in the formula

Fair premium of insurance policy = 2% x $25,000,000

Fair premium of insurance policy = $500,000

Third step is to calculate the Maximum premium using this formula

Maximum premium = Maximum utility - Expected Utility²

Let Plug in the formula

Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $4,900²

Maximum premium = $25,000,000 - $24,010,000

Maximum premium= $990,000

Now let calculate the Maximum amount willing to pay using this formula

Maximum amount willing to pay = (Fair premium + Maximum premium) / 2

Let plug in the formula

Maximum amount willing to pay= ($ 500,000 + $990,000) / 2

Maximum amount willing to pay=$1,490,000/2

Maximum amount willing to pay= $745,000

Therefore the maximum amount that Yuri would be willing to pay in order to be fully insured against the risk of losing his ship is $745,000

Michael McBride is an employee of Reach-it Pharmaceuticals. His company car is a 2019 Lexus GS 200t with a fair-market value of $50,000 and a lease value of $13,250, according to Publication 15-b. During the year, Michael drove 45,000 miles, of which 9,000 were for personal use. The car was available for use on 270 of the days during the year. All gasoline was provided by the employer and is charged back to Michael at $0.055 per mile. What is the amount of the company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule

Answers

Answer:

Michael

The amount of the company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule is:

= $1,960.27

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fair market value of 2019 Lexus GS 200t = $50,000

Lease value of the company car = $13,250

Distance that Michael drove the car during the year = 45,000

Personal use of the car during the year = 9,000

Percentage of personal use = 9,000/45,000 * 100 = 20%

Availability of the car during the year = 270

Gasoline charged back to Michael by the employer = $0.055 * 45,000 * 20%

= $495

Company-car fringe benefit that will appear on Michael's W-2, using the lease-value rule is = $13,250 * 20% * 270/365 = $1,960.27
