Answer:

D) Feedforward

Explanation:

Remember, car manufacturer ordered 20, 000 window assembly supplies from supply.

A sample was sent to confirm if it matches car manufacturer's specifications of (input materials). There was no output (finished window assembly supplies) before receiving confirmation.

The whole idea of Feedforward control is to monitor inputs rather than outputs to prevent or minimize product deficiencies before they occur.

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $245,000, has a three-year life, and has pr
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Techron I . According to the calculations, Techron I reports a better performance.

Explanation:

Techron I

Cost of Machine = $245,000

Useful Life = 3 years

Annual Depreciation = Cost of Machine / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = $245,000 / 3

Annual Depreciation = $81,666.67

Salvage Value = $40,000

After-tax Salvage Value = $40,000 * (1 - 0.22)

After-tax Salvage Value = $31,200

Annual OCF = Pretax Operating Costs * (1 - tax) + tax * Depreciation

Annual OCF = -$63,000 * (1 - 0.22) + 0.22 * $81,666.67

Annual OCF = -$31,173.33

NPV = -$245,000 - $31,173.33 * PVIFA(10%, 3) + $31,200 * PVIF(10%, 3)

NPV = -$245,000 - $31,173.33 * 2.4869 + $31,200 * 0.7513

NPV = -$299,084.39

EAC = NPV / PVIFA(10%, 3)

EAC = -$299,084.39 / 2.4869

EAC = -$120,263.94

Techron II:

Cost of Machine = $420,000

Useful Life = 5 years

Annual Depreciation = Cost of Machine / Useful Life

Annual Depreciation = $420,000 / 5

Annual Depreciation = $84,000

Salvage Value = $40,000

After-tax Salvage Value = $40,000 * (1 - 0.22)

After-tax Salvage Value = $31,200

Annual OCF = Pretax Operating Costs * (1 - tax) + tax * Depreciation

Annual OCF = -$35,000 * (1 - 0.22) + 0.22 * $84,000

Annual OCF = -$8,820

NPV = -$420,000 - $8,820 * PVIFA(10%, 5) + $31,200 * PVIF(10%, 5)

NPV = -$420,000 - $8,820 * 3.7908 + $31,200 * 0.6209

NPV = -$434,062.78

EAC = NPV / PVIFA(10%, 5)

EAC = -$434,062.78 / 3.7908

EAC = -$114,504.27

valina [46]

Answer:

Margin of safety - Units =3350

Margin of safety - Sales Revenue = $251250

Explanation:

Margin of Safety indicates how much sales may decrease before a loss can be made.

<u>Margin of safety - Units</u>

Margin of safety - Units = 5000-1650 =3350

<em>Margin of Safety as a % = 3350/5000 ×100 = 67%</em>

<u>Margin of safety - Sales Revenue</u>

Expected Sales = (5000 × $75) =$375000

Margin of Safety = $375000 × 67% = $251250

Shelf Stocking ($19 × 170) = 3,230 ($19 × 150) = 2,850 ( $19 × 20) = 380

Customer Support &Assistant ($0.15 × 15,400) = 2,310 ($0.15 × 20,200) = 3,030 ($0.15 × 7,960)= 1,194

Hornberger, Inc. recently paid a dividend of $2.00 per share. The next dividend is expected to be $2.05 per share. Hornberger ha
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Hornberger plows back 22.72% of its earnings into the firm.

Explanation:

Plowback ratio fundamental analysis ratio that measures how much earnings are retained after dividends are paid out.

We can use the relationship g = ROE × b to find the plowback ratio (b).

The growth rate implied by the recent dividend and the expected dividend is estimated using the equation, D1 =  D0 × (1 + g)

$2.05 = $2.00 × (1 + g)

$2.05 - 2.00 = 2.00g

0.05 / 2 = g

g = 2.5%

Then  according to the equation (b)

2.50% = 11.00% × b

b = 2.50%/11.00%

b = 22.72%
