Last year, EBl Solar turned their inventory 3.7 times and had a cost of goods sold of $2.8 million. Assume 52 business weeks per year.

a. Express last years average inventory in weeks of supply.
b. After several supply chain improvement initiatives, inventory investment has dropped across all inventory categories. While EBl's cost of goods sold is not expected to change from last year's level, the value of raw materials has dropped to $95,000; work-in-process to $26,000; and finished goods to $15,800. Assuming 52 business weeks per year, express EBl's current total inventory level in weeks of supply and inventory turns.

Answers

Answer:

EBI Solar

a. Weeks of supply = 14.05 weeks

b. Inventory turnover = 20.5x

Weeks of supply = 2.5 weeks

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Inventory turnover = 3.7 x

Cost of goods sold = $2.8 million

Average inventory = $756,757 ($2,800,000/3.7)

Current value of inventory:

Raw materials = $95,000

Work-in-process  26,000

Finished goods    15,800

Total =              $136,800

a. Weeks of supply = 14.05 weeks (52/3.7)

b. Inventory turnover = 20.5x ($2,800,000/$136,800)

Weeks of supply = 2.5 weeks (52/20.5)

Chad, who owns the only coffee shop in Rivercity, learns that Jose is about to open a competing coffee shop in the same small town, just a few blocks from Chad's. Chad offers Jose $10,000 in return for Jose's promise not to open a coffee shop in the Rivercity area for six months. Jose accepts the $10,000 but goes ahead with his plans, even though he had agreed not to do so. When Jose opens his coffee shop for business, Chad sues to enjoin Jose's continued operation or to recover the $10,000

Required:
Can Chad sues Jose?

Answers

Answer:

Rivercity Coffee Shop

Chad cannot sue Jose.  The $10,000 is paid to Jose is a bribe.  Since a bribe is not legal, it cannot form the basis for an enforceable contract.

Moreover, the offer by Chad is an antitrust and anti-competition consideration that is legally frowned upon. illegal contract

Explanation:

For a contract to be enforceable, it cannot be illegal.  A bribe is illegal.  The basis for the contract is illegal.  Therefore, Chad cannot sue Jose.  Since Jose decided to breach the contract, neither Chad nor Jose is entitled to any compensation.  Jose cannot be held liable for non-performance.

Santa Corporation issued a bond on January 1 of this year with a face value of $1,000. The bond's coupon rate is 4 percent and interest is paid once a year on December 31. The bond matures in three years. The annual market rate of interest was 5 percent at the time the bond was sold. The following amortization schedule pertains to the bond issued: Cash Paid Interest Expense Amortization Balance January 1, Year 1 $973 December 31, Year 1 $40 $49 $9 982 December 31, Year 2 40 49 9 991 December 31, Year 3 40 49 9 1,000 Required: 1. What was the bond's issue price

Answers

Answer:

The price of the bond at issuance is $973.

Explanation:

The selling price of the bond is equal to the present value of all cash flow received from the holding the bonds to maturity, at the issuance time. Thus, these cash flows would be discounted at the annual market rate at the time it is sold which is 5%.

Holding the bond would generate 2 types of cash flows:

+ Annual coupon payment at the end of each year at Face value x coupon rate = 1000 x 4% = $40, for 3 year. Present value of this cash flow = [ 40 / 5%] x [ 1 - (1+5%)^(-3)] = $109

+ Face value payback at the end of 3 year whose present value = 1000 / 1.05^3 = $864

=> Selling price = 109 + 864 =  $973.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine which location would be most economical to produce the item

Using this formula

LaborCost per Unit=Labor Cost per Day/Production(units per day)

Let plug in the formula

Myanmar = 6 Laborers x $3/day = $18/day

Myanmar=$18/day/ 40 units

Myanmar= $0.45/unit

China = 10 Laborers x $2/day = $20/day

China= $20/day/ 45 units

China= $0.444/unit

Montana = 2 Laborers x $60/day = $120/day

Montana= $120/day/100 units

Montana = $1.20/unit

Therefore the location that would be most economical to produce the item is CHINA

If MM's proposition II without taxes is true, what is the return to investors who invest $20 in a stock, borrow another $20 to buy a share of stock and pay 6% on the borrowed money if the EPS is $1.50?
a. 6.0%.
b. 9.0%.
c. 12.0%.
d. 15.0%.

Answers

Answer:

b. 9.0%.

Explanation:

The computation of the return on the investment is shown below:

Net earning is

= Earning per share × number of shares  - interest paid

= (1.50 × 2) - ($20 × 6%)

= $1.80

Now  the return on the investment is

= Net earning ÷ own investment

= $1.80 ÷ $20 × 100

= 9%

Hence, the return on the investment is 9%

Reasons why South African post office taking private courier companies to court​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.

PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.

The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.

Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.

“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.

“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.

Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied. Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $619, and there is a cost of $0.030 per page copied. Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $675, and there is a cost of $0.028 per page copied. Customers are charged $.16 per page copied. If Benny expects to make 105,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine

Answers

Answer:

Machine one cost:

= Fixed cost + Variable cost

The Fixed cost is the lease cost and the variable cost is the cost per page copied. The number of pages is 105,000 and the cost per page for machine 1 is $0.030

= 619 + (0.030 * 105,000)

= $3,769 monthly

Machine two cost:

= 675 + (0.028 * 105,000)

= $3,615 monthly

Musterl Manufacturing Corporation (MMC) has an issue of 10-year, 6% annual coupon bonds outstanding. The bonds, which were originally issued 20 years ago, have a face value (FV) of $1,000, a yield to maturity (YTM) of 6%, and are noncallable. What is the current market price of MMC’s bonds? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

Answers

Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

When the coupon rate and the yield to maturity are the same, a bond always trades at par.

In this scenario, the bond coupon is 6% and so is the Yield to maturity. the bond price must therefore be $1,000.

If the yield to maturity was lower than the coupon rate, the bond would have been priced above $1,000 as it would be a premium bond and if the YTM had been higher than the coupon rate, the price would be lower than $1,000 as it would be a discount bond.

On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm's present market value capital structure, shown below, is considered to be optimal. Assume that there is no short-term debt.
Debt $30,000,000
Common equity 30,000,000
Total capital $60,000,000
New bonds will have an 10% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders' required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so $1.20/$30 = 4%). The marginal corporate tax rate is 30%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity?
Assuming there is sufficient cash flow such that Tysseland can maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC?
Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC?
I. rs and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
II. rs and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.
III. rs will increase and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.

Delta airlines is consider purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million and will produce net cash flow of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $25 million per year. Delta plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Delta's cost of capital is 12% and the inflation is expected to be zero. what is the equivalent annual annuity of plane A

Answers

Answer:

$2.26 million

Explanation:

Plane A:

Initial outlay = $100 million

Annual cash flows = $30 million

Expected life = 5 years

Cost of capital = 12%

EAW = (r x NPV) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]

Using a financial calculator: NPV = $8.14 million

EAW = (12% x $8.14) / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻⁵] = $0.9768 / 0.432573 = $2.2581 ≈ $2.26 million

The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

3.21 years

Explanation:

Annual net cash-flow = Operating net income + Depreciation

Annual net cash-flow = $67,000 + $40,000

Annual net cash-flow = $107,000

Payback period = Investment / Annual net cash-flow

Payback period = $343,000/$107,000

Payback period = 3.205607476635514

Payback period = 3.21 years.

So, he payback period of the project is closest to 3.21 years.

Sauer Food Company has decided to buy a new computer system with an expected life of three years. The cost is $300,000. The company can borrow $300,000 for three years at 12 percent annual interest or for one year at 10 percent annual interest. Assume interest is paid in full at the end of each year.

Required:
a. How much would Sauer Food Company save in interest over the three-year life of the computer system if the one-year loan is utilized and the loan is rolled over (reborrowed) each year at the same 8 percent rate?
b. Compare this to the 10 percent three-year loan. What if interest rates on the 8 percent loan go up to 13 percent in year 2 and 18 percent in year 3?
c. What would the total interest cost compared to the 10 percent, three-year loan?

Answers

Answer:

 

Explanation:

From the given information;

Suppose the interest rate is constant. then at 10% three-year loan;

The total interest at 10% will be:

= $300000 × 10% × 3years

= $90000

Aso, 8% one year loan with rollover will be total interest at 8%:

= $300000 × 8% × 3 years

= $72000

Savings in interest of Sauer Food Company = $(90000 - 72000)

= $18000

Suppose short-term rates change, then for the first year, we will have:

= 300000 × 0.1

=  $30000

second year will be = 300000 × 0.13

=$39000

third year will be= 300000 × 0.18

=$54000

As such, the total rate of the variable loan = $30000 + $39000 + $54000

= $123000

However, the fixed rate at 10% three year loan is equal to = $90000

As such, the additional total interest cost  = $(123000 - 90000)

= $33000

East Valve Distributors distributes industrial valves and control devices. The Eastern control device has an annual demand of 9,375 units and sells for $100 per unit. The cost of ordering is $40 per order and the average carrying cost per unit per year is $0.75. Determine the economic order quantity.

Answers

Answer:

1000

Explanation:

Given:

Annual DEMAND, D = 9375

Holding cost, H = 0.75

Cost per order, S = 40

The Economic order quantity :

EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]

EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]

EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]

EOQ = √1000000

EOQ = 1000

How are supply and demand influenced by the labor market? What role does the Labor union or Government play in this? Please connect with the case in your country.

Answers

Answer:

How do supply and demand influence pricing?

According to the supply and demand model, a good price is when the quantity desired equals the quantity supplied.

The economic model of supply and demand is used to determine market prices. In a competitive market, the quantity required by the customer (at the current price) will be equal to the amount supplied by the manufacturer (at the current price), resulting in price and quantity financial balance.

Explanation:

Role of government in the labour market

1. The government should place a strong emphasis on modernising manufacturing methods and risk-free labour procedures.

2. Formulation and implementation of labour legislation to increase work opportunities for UAE citizens and others.

3. Close the wage, productivity, work ethic, and work hours disparity between the private and public sectors.

4. Wage minimums and maximums are in effect.

5. The government should concentrate on improving the labour market in terms of skill development, English language acquisition in order to compete in the global marketplace, the ability to learn from a young age, job stability, and the assurance of future wage increases.

All of the government interference resulted in a rational labour market. Which are both, directly and indirectly, related to the UAE's economic development. This created healthy competition in the economy, resulting in an increase in the UAE government's GDP. This intervention in the labour market gives workers assurance about a brighter future for their families, which encourages them to work more directly for corporations and companies, and indirectly for the UAE.

Five individuals organized Miami Music Corporation on January 1. At the end of January 31, the following monthly financial data are available:

Total Revenues…………………………....... $131,000
Operating Expenses………………………… 90,500
Cash…………………………………………...........30,800
Accounts Receivable……………………… .25,300
Supplies……………………………………..........40,700
Accounts Payable…………………………... 25,700
Common Stock………………………………...30,600

Required:
a. Did Miami Music Corporation generate a profit? Which financial statement indicates this?
c. Does Miami Music Corporation have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities? Which financial statement indicates this?

Answers

Answer:

a. Profit(loss) = Total revenue - Total expenses

= 131,000 - 90,500

= $41,000

The company did in fact generate profit of $41,000 and this can be shown from the Income Statement which is where profit or loss is calculated.

b. A company uses its assets to pay off its liabilities so if the liabilities are less than the assets then the company is capable of paying off its liabilities:

Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies

= 30,800 + 25,300 + 40,700

= $96,800

Liabilities are just the Accounts Payable of $25,700.

Liabilities are less than Assets so Miami Music does indeed have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities.

This information comes from the Balance Sheet which is where assets and liabilities are shown.

b. Interpret the results

Answers

Answer:

a. We have:

Days' cash on hand for Amazon = 77 days

Days' cash on hand for Netflix = 180 days

b. The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales, while Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.

Explanation:

a. Determine the days' cash on hand for Amazon and Netflix.

Days' cash on hand = (Cash + Short term investment) / ((Operating expense - Depreciation expense) / 365) …………… (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Days' cash on hand for Amazon = ($19,334 + $6,647) / (($131,801  - $8,116) / 365) = 77 days

Days' cash on hand for Netflix = ($1,468 + $266) / (($8,451 - $4,925) / 365) = 180 days

b. Interpret the results

The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.

However, the results show that Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.
