Answer:
You need to save $4,012.45 each year
Explanation:
Pertiuty in 20 years is $50,000.
So the amount must be in account after 30 years saving to enough for above pertiuty is calculated as below:
= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20
= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%
=$50000*9.818
= $490,907
To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:
$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)
= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%
$490,907 = PMT * 122.346
-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346
= $4,012.45

assume yourself as a marketing specialist of a company and determine the new product development process by manufacturing a new product for your company ??
anyone have answere ?
Answer:
The Productisation produce is:
1. Ideation/Conceptualisation
This has to do with the generation of a product or service idea;
2. Research / Concept Testing Stage / Analysis
This stage has to do with the research around the idea to determine the availability of market for the product, size and target segment within the market, Growth Potential, competition analysis and current and potential issues that may arise due to the creation of the product;
As a substage of the research phase, a business analysis of the viability of the product is also carried out. this will entail
Cost-Benefit Analysis Resources Required Capital Expenses Profitability/Margin Anticipated Sales
3. Design/Creation of Prototype/Development
For physical products, this stage will look at on-paper design from which a prototype will be created.
After testing to ensure that the prototype works, it is then sent for development. This stage also involves market tests.
4. Launch
This is the final stage of the product development process.
It entails all the go-to-market activities such as market plan execution, sales/production training, execution of distribution plan.
It is possible at this stage to still collect product-related feedback from the market for consideration in the upgrade version of the product to be launched at a later date.

Assume one of the SWOT findings was an internal weakness of low motivation in the sales force regarding product sales. HP has designed a new compensation system to address this motivation. In which stage of the strategy implementation framework does this action reside?
Answer:
Stage 3
Explanation:
Strategic management is defined as formulation of strategies (decisions, actions, and measures) which are implemented to meet organisational goals and objectives.
Strategy formulation is a very important first step in strategy management. Lack of good strategy formulation can lead to organisational failure.
In the given scenario where motivation among employees is identified as a weakness, the action of modifying the reward system falls under the stage 3 of strategic implementation framework
Strategic implementation is concerned with how formulated strategy is implemented.
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

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

Process Costing using First-in-First Out (FIFO) Crone Corporation uses the FIFO method in its processing costing system. The following data concern the company's Assembly Department for the month of October.
Cost in beginning work in process inventory $1,920
Units started and completed this month 3,130
Materials Conversion:
Cost per equivalent unit $9.50 $20.40
Equivalent units required to complete the units in
beginning work in process inventory 360 140
Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory 330 264
Required:
a. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory
b. Determine the cost of units transferred out of the department during October.
Answer:
Cost of ending inventory= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out=$99,863
Explanation:
Cost of ending inventory
Cost of items of inventory = cost per equivalent unit × No of units
Cost of items of inventory = ($9.50×330) + ($20.40 × 264)= $8,520.6
Total cost of units transferred out
The FIFO method of valuation of working in progress separates the units transferred out into opening inventory and fully worked.
The fully worked represents the units of inventory started and completed in the sames period.
The cost of units transferred out is the sum of h opening inventory and he fully worked. This done below:
Opening inventory = ($9.50 × 360) + ($20.40×140)= 6276
Transferred of fully worked = $(9.50 +$20.40) × 3,130= 93,587
Total cost of units transferred out = (6276 +93587)= $99,863
As discussed in the case and the text, W. L. Gore and Zappos adopted new organizational structures during periods of growth. In general, most firms follow a predictable pattern of structural change. Which of the following best exemplifies this pattern?
a. Simple to functional to multidivisional structures
b. Ambidextrous to functional to matrix structures
c. Functional to simple to matrix structures
d. Global to functional to multidivisional structures
e. Simple to matrix to functional structures
Answer: a. Simple to functional to multidivisional structures
Explanation:
An Organisational structure refers to how tasks flow in a company to enable them to achieve their goals.
As a company grows, they tend to go through different types of structures which fit their size and enable them to reach their goals better.
They generally start with the Simple Structure which is very common in smaller businesses. Here most decisions are centred on the owner. The owner as the proprietor is in charge of coming up with basically everything to push the business forward.
As the company grows they switch to a Functional Structure. This is when the company will be structured by function to enable better specialization and divisions of labour. Examples of separation by function include, IT Department, Marketing Department, Production Department etc.
If the growth continues the company finds it best to specialize even more and this is when Multidivisional Structures kick in. In a Multidivisonal Structure, the company divides itself into different divisions while maintaining a parent company. The Divisions are fairly independent and pursue different goals and products but all under the direction of the parent company. An example is Google splitting into divisions with Alphabet Inc being the Parent Company and Divisions such as Google, Calico, Deepmind and Waymo being created.

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.

Explanation:
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
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
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%

weighted average interest rate = $2,018,500 / $18,930,000 = 10.663%
weighted average accumulated expenditures:
March 1, $6,300,000 x 10/12 = $5,250,000
June 1, $5,270,000 x 7/12 = $3,074,167
December 31, $8,950,000 x 0/12 = $0
total = $8,324,167
interests on the specific loan = $3,180,000 x 12% = $381,600
interests on remaining expenditures = ($8,324,167 - $3,180,000) x 10.663% = $548,520
total interest capitalized = $930,120
total interest expensed = total interests on other loans - interests capitalized on remaining expenditures = $2,018,500 - $548,520 = $1,469,980 ≈ $1,470,132 which we can match to the nearest option due since during the procedure we rounded a couple of times.

compare and contrast the Reference Theory of meaning and the Idea Theory of meaning and explain how best each of them can be used to explain the term deadly virus .
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
The concept of " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " are very important in the aspect that concerns the use of language for expression and language semantics.
The SIMILARITIES BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning ";
=> They are both used in the Explanation of meaning that is to say in semantics.
=> They are both defined through "action''
The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " :
(1). The term "Reference Theory of meaning" simply means that every word has a particular reference or label.
For instance now;
=> Ebola Virus is deadly.
=> Stomach ache is deadly.
The Ebola Virus is the label for the micro-organism, deadly denotes how the virus kills and the " Ebola Virus is deadly" denotes the sentence.
The first sentence "Ebola Virus is deadly" is right as this sentence makes reference to Ebola virus that is being used in the determination of how true a sentence is.
SUMMARY: ALL WORDS SYMBOLIZES SOMETHING IN REAL LIFE AND THEY ARE USED IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS WRONG OR WHAT HAS VALUE.
The disadvantage is that it can not be used in the expression for that are abstract.
(2). Idea Theory of meaning simply refers to meaning BASED ON IDEAS and not what it actually means in REAL LIFE SCENARIO.
Its disadvantage is that mental images or ideas differ from one individual to the other.
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.
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.
