Answer: D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.
Explanation: While marginal productivity describes the extra output, or return, or profit gotten per unit by benefits from the production inputs of a company, the law of diminishing marginal productivity is one that recognizes that the quantity of all inputs of production cannot be changed at one time. The owner's reasoning of attributing the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity is incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example. Marginal productivity eventually declines because some inputs are fixed, but however, in the long run where no inputs are fixed, the law does not apply.

Answer:
idk
Explanation:
Suppose you win the lottery and have two options: A. Take $1 million now. B. Take $1.2 million to be paid out as 300,000 now and then $300,000 a year for 3 years. Which is the better deal? Assume that the interest rate is 10%. Please show your work. (4 point)
Answer:
A. Take $1 million now.
Explanation:
A. If we take $1 million now the present value of the money is $1 million.
B. If we choose to take $1.2 million paid out over 3 years then present value will at 10% will be;
$300,000 + $300,000 / 1.2 + $300,000/ 1.44 + $300,000 / 1.728
$300,000 + $250,000 + $208,000+ $173,611 = $931,944
The present value of option B is less than present value of option A. We should select option A and take $1 million now.
The Model E extender fits with the 2 inch heavy duty hitches.The contract calls for 247 Model E extenders per week to be delivered in equal installments over the 16 weeks of the contract. The goal of Alpha Assemblies is to work 40 hours per week. The actual work time for completing the Model E extenders has been broken down by process in the table below. Also provided is the anticipated learning rate for each process. All processes must be performed in sequence and each step has its own separate and unique workcenter. To achieve the goal of working 40 hours per week or less, the cycle time must be lower than the takt time. What is the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16? Note: learning is applied to the batch quantity per week. Do not try to break out the units within a week.Process Time Required per Unit Predecessor Task Learning RateA 9 82B 12 A 86C 18 B 81D 9 C 90E 12 D 80F 17 E 88G 14 F 83H 12 G 85I 8 H 82

F 17 E 88 10.19482
G 14 F 83 6.644165
H 12 G 85 6.264075
I 8 H 82 3.616974
The objective here is to determine the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16
So, we can equally regard the Cycle Time = Bottleneck of Activity for Week 16.
Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute in as much as it is the the largest activity time for the week 16
Given that the demand per week is : = 247
The available time per week = 40 hours = 40 × 60 hours = 2400 minutes
Talk Time = Available Time Per Week/Demand Per Week
Talk Time = 2400/247
Talk Time = 9.716599
Thus; here the cycle time is greater than the talk time.
Cat's product manager continues to perform well in the market. However, a competing product is coming on strong and is looking to take over as the market share leader in the segment. Without sacrificing contribution margin, what can the Cat product manager do in order to improve upon the buying criteria, and thus potentially increase demand
Answer:
Increase promotion spending
Explanation:
Note that the challenge for the product is to get a demand that supersedes that of their competitor. Thus, by spending more on promotion they could still maintain the contribution margin while at the same time increase consumers demand the product.
For example, by adding extra gift items to their products consumers would likely feel motivated to buy the product over the other.
Imagine that you work in a call center. Your manager tells you that you need to answer 25% more calls per hour. In order to do this, you must spend less time with each caller, and your caller satisfaction scores are going down. By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being __________ but NOT ___________.
Answer:
By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being EFFICIENT but NOT SATISFY CUSTOMERS' NEEDS.
Explanation:
A worker's efficiency is measured by the total output per hour of labor. In this case, since you are answering more calls per hour, your efficiency is increasing (higher output per hour).
The quality of the service provided by a worker's is measured by the quality of their output (or performance), and if you satisfy your customers' needs. Since the service that you are providing is not that good, then your quality levels are decreasing.
You may be producing more services, but the services produced lack good quality.
A company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $90,000. Predicted annual cash inflows from this investment are $36,000 (year 1), $30,000 (year 2), $18,000 (year 3), $12,000 (year 4) and $6,000 (year 5). The payback period is:
Answer:
3.5 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested from the cumulative cash flows.
The amount invested is $-90,000
In the first year , $-90,000 + $36,000 = $-54,000 is recovered
In the second year, $-54,000 + $30,000 = $-24,000 is recovered
In the third year, $-24,000 + $18,000 = $-6,000 is recovered
In the fourth year, $-6,000 + $12,000 = $6000 is recovered.
By the fourth year, the total amount invested is recovered as the cash flow turns postive
Pay back period = 3 years + $6000/$12,000 = 3.5 years

Walkers World Company gathered the following information for 2019:
Total sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Cost of goods sold 231,000
Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Accounts receivable at end of 2019 ($30,000
increase during 2019) 100,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Beginning of 2019 5,000
End of 2019 7,000
Merchandise inventory at end of 2019 ($10,000
decrease during 2019) 28,000
Assume 365 days in the year.
Calculate each of the following ratios.
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
B. Average age of receivables.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Answer:
A. Receivable turnover ratio. = 4.57 times
B. Average age of receivables. 94.07 days
C. Inventory turnover ratio. 7 times
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory = 633 days
Explanation:
Net Sales $ 388,000
Sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Less Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Average Accounts Receivable = Accounts Rec (beg) Accounts Rec (end)/2
= 70,000+ 100,000/2= $85,000
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
Receivable turnover ratio= Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
= 388,000/ 85,000= 4.5647= 4.565= 4.57 times
A high turnover ratio is favorable because the accounts receivable are quickly collected.
B. Average age of receivables.
Average age of receivables= Accounts receivable *365/ Sales
= 100,000* 365/388,000= 365,000,00/388,000= 94.07 days
Accounts receivable will be collected in 94 days.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
Inventory turnover ratio= Cost Of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory
= 231,000/38,000+ 28,000/2
= 231,000/33,000= 7 times
A company with a high turnover requires a smaller investment in inventory than one producing the same sales with a lower turn over.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Average number of days' supply in inventory= Cost of Goods Sold/ 365
= 231,000 /365= 632.89
More Inventory will be needed in 633 days

You recently received a letter from Cut-to-the-Chase National Bank that offers you a new credit card that has no annual fee. It states that the annual percentage rate (APR) is 16 percent on outstanding balances. What is the effective annual interest rate?
Answer:
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
Explanation:
The Effective annual rate of return is the equivalent rate earned where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
EAR = (1+r/m)^n× m - 1
EAR - Equivalent annual rate of return, r- annul rate of return, n-number of years
r= 16/12 =1.333%, n= 1 m= 12 (note there are 12 months in a year)
EAR = (1+0.16/12)^(1×12) - 1
EAR = 1.0133^12 - 1 = 0.1722
EAR 0.1722 × 100 = 17.22%
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%

Kat Outfitting currently has $22,500 in cash. The company owes $49,500 to suppliers for merchandise and $52,500 to the bank for a long-term loan. Customers owe the company $41,000 for their purchases. The inventory has a book value of $76,800 and an estimated market value of $72,000. If the store compiled a balance sheet as of today, what would be the book value of the current assets?
Answer:
The book value of the current assets is $140,300
Explanation:
Cash = $22,500
Amount owed by company = $49,500
Amount Owed by Customers = $41,000
Book Value of Inventory = $76,800
Estimated market value = $72,000
Book Value of Current Assets = Cash + Amount Owed by Customers + Book Value of Inventory
Book Value of Current Assets = $22,500 + $41,000 + $76,800
Book Value of Current Assets = $140,300

A business will construct its financial statements in a particular order because they are interrelated. This means that items formulated in an earlier statement feed into the subsequent statements, and changes to items on one financial statement can have compounding effects on the overall financial position of a company. Which of the following is one reason the statement of owner's equity is prepared after the income statement?
a. Retained earnings are computed on the income statement.
b. Net income is the beginning retained earnings amount.
c. Retained earnings is really an asset.
d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Answer: d. Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings.
Explanation:
In the statement of owner's equity, Retained earnings are calculated and it is done with the Net Income. This is why when the net income is calculated from the Income Statement it is transfered to the SOE and used to calculate Retained Earnings.
Retained Earnings are calculated by the formula,
Ending Retained = Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income (losses) - Dividends
Net income is added to (or subtracted from if it is a Net loss) the Opening Retained earnings balance. Net dividends are also subtracted.

Assume straight-line depreciation. A company plans to purchase machinery costing $1,000,000 with salvage value of $200,000 after 4 years. After-tax net income is expected to be $55,000, $40,000, $35,000, and $30,000 during the 4 years. Calculate the accounting rate of return. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return (ARR) is the proportion of the average investment that is earned as profit.
ARR = average operating income/ Average investment
Average income =( 55,000 + 40,000 + 35,000 + 30,000)/4=40,000
Average investment = initial cost + salvage value/2
= 1,000,000 + 200,000/2 = 600,000
ARR = 40,000/600,000 × 100= 6.67
Accounting rate of return = 6.67%

The year-end 2009 balance sheet for Tom's Copy, Inc. lists common stock ($1.00 par value) of $ 5,870 , capital surplus of $ 17,290 and retained earnings of $ 47,076 . On the 2010 year-end balance sheet, retained earnings are listed as $ 50,350 . The firm's net income in 2010 was $ 9,811 . No stock was issued or repurchased in 2010. What were dividends per share paid by the firm in 2010
Answer:
$1.11 per share
Explanation:
For computing the dividend per share first we have to determine the dividend by applying the following formula
Amount of dividend = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net Income - Ending balance of retained earnings
= $47,076 + $9,811 - $50,350
= $6,537
And, the number of shares is
= $5,870 ÷ $1 par
= 5,870 shares
So, the Dividend per share is
= Dividend ÷ number of shares
= $6,537 ÷ 5,870 shares
= $1.11 per share

Allyson Gomez invests $8,000 today in an investment that earns 6 percent per year (compounded annually) for 25 years. The average inflation rate is expected to be 1.8 percent per year. She will have much more than $8,000 in 25 years BUT what would this future amount be if expressed in today’s dollars? a. $34,335 b. $21,981 c. $52,306 d. $12,496 e. $21,839
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The first thing to do here is to calculate what the amount of money invested would be in 25 years given the interest rate.
Mathematically, that can be written as;
V = P(1 + r)^n
Where V is the future value
P is the present value which is $8,000
r is interest rate which is 6% (6/100 = 0.06)
n is the number of years which is 25 years
Now plugging these values into the equation, we have
V = 8,000(1 + 0.06)^25
V = 8,000(1.06)^25
V = $34,334.97 which is approximately $34,335
We can now proceed to get what this future value would be today if we take the inflation rate into consideration
Mathematically, this can work as follows
P = V(1 + i)^n
Where P is the present value of the money when the inflation is taken into consideration
V is the future value of the money which was calculated from above as $34,335
i is the inflation rate which is 1.8% per annum = (1.8/100 = 0.018)
n is the number of years which is 25
Substituting these values, we have;
P = 34,335/(1 + 0.018)^25
P = 34,335/(1.018)^25
P = 21,980.75
Which is approximately P = $21,981
g In 2010, the MoreForLess Company had revenues of $2,000,000 while costs were $1,500,000. In 2011, MoreForLess will be introducing a new product line that will generate $200,000 in sales revenues and $160,000 in costs. Assuming no changes are expected for the other products, the differential operating profit for 2011 is
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Differential operating profit refers to how much will the company's operating profit change if another project or projects is/are carried out.
In this case, the normal operating profit = $2,000,000 - $1,500,000 = $500,000. When the new product line is introduced, additional revenues and costs will result in $40,000 more in profits (= $200,000 - $160,000). The differential operating profits are the $40,000 generated by the new product line.
This year Barney purchased 500 shares of Bell common stock for $20 per share. At year-end the Bell shares were only worth $2 per share. What amount can Barney deduct as a loss this year
Answer:
Barney is not entitled to a loss deduction.
Explanation:
Barney is not qualified for a loss deduction. Barney cannot have any realization because the stock has not been sold or become worthless. If Barney's stock becomes worthless then generally he may deduct its tax basis in the stock as a worthless stock loss for the year in which the stock becomes worthless.

Explanation:
James is dreading going to get his UF parking decal because he knows that the lines are usually three hours long. However, when he gets in line, he receives his parking decal in only thirty minutes. Which of the following is James probably experiencing?
Definitely, he will be experiencing a delight because he was actually expecting to meet a queue which will last for nothing less that 3 hours, but fortunately for him, he got what he went for within the space of time of 30minutes. So, he has been saved of extra 2hours 30minutes of stress due to the long queue. Hence, he will definitely be delighted.
A few years back, Dave and Jana bought a new home. They borrowed $230,415 at a fixed rate of 5.49% (15-year term) with monthly payments of $1,881.46. They just made their twenty-fifth payment and the current balance on the loan is $208,555.87.
Interest rates are at an all-time low and Dave and Jana are thinking of refinancing to a new 15-year fixed loan. Their bank has made the
following offer: 15-year term, 3.0%, plus out-of-pocket costs of $2,937. The out-of-pocket costs must be paid in full at the time of refinancing.
Build a spreadsheet model to evaluate this offer. The Excel function:
=PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type)
alculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate. The arguments of this function are as follows:
rate = the interest rate for the loan
nper = the total number of payments
pv= present value - - the amount borrowed
fv = future value - - the desired cash balance after the last payment (usually 0)
type = payment type (0 = end of period, 1 = beginning of the period)
For example, for Dave and Jana's original loan there will be 180 payments (12*15 = 180), so we would use =PMT( .0549/12, 180, 230415,0,0) = $1881.46. Note that since payments are made monthly, the annual interest rate must be expressed as a monthly rate. Also, for payment calculations, we assume that the payment is made at the end of the month.
Assume that Dave and Jana have accepted the refinance offer, and that there is no pre-payment penalty, so that anything above the beyond the required payment is applied to the principal. Construct a spreadsheet model in Excel so that you may use Goal Seek to determine the monthly payment that will allow Dave and Jana to pay off the loan in 12 years. Do the same for 10 and 11 years. Which option for prepayment if any, would you choose and why?
(Hint: Break each monthly payment up into interest and principal [the amount that gets deducted from the balance owed] Recall that the monthly interest that is charged is just the monthly loan rate multiplied by the remaining loan balance.)

New monthly payment
PMT(3%/12, 15*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,440.25
Now, we need find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11 and 12 years. So, using the above formula, we get
10-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 10*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $2,013.83
11-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 11*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,856.93
12-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 12*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,726.40
Additional Monthly Payment
10-year: $2,013.83 - $1,440.25 = $573.58
11-year: $1,856.93 - $1,440.25 = $416.68
12-year: $1,726.40 - $1,440.25 = $286.15
Refinancing means finance again(object) and, usually with a new loan with a low-interest rate.
What is the term refinancing means?Refinance, or "refi" briefly, refers to the process of reviewing and replacing existing credit agreement terms, usually as they relate to the loan or mortgage.
Calculation of new monthly payment under refinance model:
New monthly payment:
[tex]PMT(3\%/12, 15\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,440.25[/tex]
The calculation is shown in the attached image.
Now, we need to find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11, and 12 years.
Using the above formula, we get
[tex]\rm\,10-year \;installment\; = \;PMT(3\%/12, 10\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$2,013.83\\\\11-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 11 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,856.93\\\\12-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 12 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,726.40[/tex]
Additional Monthly Payment
[tex]\rm\,10-year \$2,013.83 - \$1,440.25 = \$573.58\\\\11-year: \$1,856.93 - \$1,440.25 = \$416.68\\\\12-year: \$1,726.40 - \$1,440.25 = \$286.15[/tex]
Hence, We can go for 12-year model, as it is cost-effective for Dave and Jana.

You are in charge of a project that has a degree of operating leverage of 1.24. What will happen to the operating cash flows if the number of units you sell increase by 3.8 percent? Group of answer choices 4.71 percent increase 4.71 percent decrease 3.06 percent increase 3.06 percent decrease
Answer:
4.71 percent increase
Explanation:
The increase in the number of units sold is 3.8%
Degree of operating leverage is 1.24
Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows:
Increase in the number of units×degree of operating leverage
= 3.8/100×1.24
= 0.038×1.24
= 0.0471×100
= 4.71%
Hence there is a 4.71 percent increase in the operating cash flow
