WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Since the actual expenses is lower than the budgeted expenses, and the variance is positive, a report prepared for the manager of this profit center would show a favorable variance.

Explanation:

Revenue variance is the difference between the actual sales volume and the budgeted sales volume.

Revenue variance = Actual sales - Budgeted sales

Budgeted sales = $950000

Actual sales = $900000

Revenue variance = $900000 - $950000

= - $50000

Since the actual sales is lower than the budgeted sales, and the variance is negative, so the variance is unfavorable.

Cost variance is the difference between the budgeted expenses and the actual expenses.

Cost variance = Budgeted expenses - Actual expenses

Budgeted expenses = $600000

Actual expenses = $550000

Cost variance = $600000 - $550000

= $50000

Since the actual expenses is lower than the budgeted expenses, and the variance is positive, so the variance is favorable.

Therefore, Since the actual expenses is lower than the budgeted expenses, and the variance is positive, a report prepared for the manager of this profit center would show a favorable variance.

Vika [28.1K]

The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is $Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16$ .

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

$Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

$Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}$

$Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}$

$Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879$

Income Statement For the Year Ended on December 31 J&H Corp. Industry Average Net sales $39,000,000 $48,750,000 Operating co

noname [10]

Answer:

1.J&H Corp’s NOPAT is $3,744,000, which is $936,000 lower than industry average of $4,680,000

2.Net operating working capital of $18,000 is been used by the company.

3.J&H Corp will be generating $5,019,600 in net cash flow from its operations and an accounting profit of $3,369,600

4.Therefore the firm uses $978,000 of total net operating capital to run the business.

Explanation:

J&H Corp

1. Calculation for NOPAT

NOPAT = 6,240,000 x (1- 40%)

= 6,240,000 x (1 – 0.4)

= 6,240,000 x 0.6

= $3,744,000

Calculation for Industry Average

Industry Average= 7,800,000 x (1- 40%)

7,800,000×(1-0.4)

7,800,000×0.6

=$4,680,000

Hence:

($4,680,000-$3,744,000)=$936,000

J&H Corp’s NOPAT is $3,744,000, which is $936,000 lower than industry average of $4,680,000

2:Calculation for Net Operating Working Capital

Net Operating Working Capital= Current Operating Assets − Current Operating Liabilities

Net Operating Working Capital= (Cash + Accounts Receivable + Inventories)− (Accounts Payable + Accrued Expenses)

Short term investments won't be included in Current Operating Assets

Given current assets = $600,000 ×12% in Short term investments = $72,000

Therefore Current Operating Assets will be: 600,000 – 72,000 = $528,000

Current Operating Liabilities = $510,000

Net Operating Working Capital

= $528,000 - $510,000 = $18,000

Net operating working capital of $18,000 is been used by the company.

3. Calculation for Net cash flow operations

Net cash flow from operations = Net income + Depreciation & Amortization + Changes in Working Capital

Changes in working capital = Working capital of the year

= $600,000 - $510,000

= $90,000

Net cash flow from operations will be:

$3,369,600 + $1,560,000 + $90,000 = $5,019,600

The Accounting profit will be the total revenue less the explicit costs

Explicit costs includes operating expenses, depreciation, interest and taxes.

Hence, the Accounting Profit will be :

Net income = $3,369,600

J&H Corp will be generating $5,019,600 in net cash flow from its operations and an accounting profit of $3,369,600

4. Calculation for the Total net operating capital

Total net operating capital = Net Operating Working Capital + Non-current Operating Assets

$528,000 - $510,000 = $18,000

Net Operating Working Capital = $18,000

Non-current Operating Assets = operating long term assets = $960,000

Total net operating capital

= $18,000 + $960,000

= $978,000

Therefore the firm uses $978,000 of total net operating capital to run the business. Thus the value is been computed as the sum of J&H Corp’s net operating working capital and its Non-current Operating Assets.

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.

Arturiano [62]

Answer: $8.81

Explanation:

To solve this, add the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4 and 5 and then add the present value of the terminal value of the stock at year 5.

Year 3 dividend = $0.50

Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745

Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005

= Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ + (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵

= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵

= $8.81
