Wie Corp's sales last year were $280,000, and its year-end total assets were $355,000. The average firm in the industry has a to

tal assets turnover ratio (TATO) of 2.4. The firm's new CFO believes the firm has excess assets that can be sold so as to bring the TATO down to the industry average without affecting sales. By how much must the assets be reduced to bring the TATO to the industry average, holding sales constant? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Answer:

$238,333

Explanation:

Assets turnover is a ratio of sales to the fixed asset of a company. It shows that how effectively the company using its fixed assets to generate the revenue. It measures the efficiency of the fixed asset in making sales.

Formula

Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Avg. Fixed Assets

Asset turnover industry average = 2.4

As per given Condition

Asset Turnover of Industry = Asset Turnover of TATO

2.4 = Net Sales / Fixed Assets

As the sales is constant, so we will calculate the fixed asset value

2.4 = $280,000 / Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets = $280,000 / 2.4 = $116,667

Reduction in assets = $355,000 - $116,667 = $238,333

By $238,333  the assets will be reduced to bring the TATO to the industry average, holding sales constant.

A gas company in Massachusetts charges $1.30 for 15 ft3 of natural gas (CH4) measured at 20°C and 1.0 atm. Calculate the cost of
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

$0.0224

Explanation:

First, determine the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 450 mL water from 20°C to 100°C.

density of water = 1 g/mL  

Use = AH = m(AT)Cp

AH (delta H) = amount of heat required

m = mass of water = 450 mL: (1g/mL) = 450 g

AT(delta T) = temperature difference = 100 - 20 = 80 °C

Cp = specific heat of water (from a table) = 4.18 J/g °C

So,  

AH  = 450 (80) (4.18) = 150 480 J = 150.48 kJ

Second, determine the heat ACTUALLY required

Since 50 % of heat produced (from combustion of methane) are used for water,

heat ACTUALLY required = 2 x 150.48 kJ = 300.96 kJ

Third, determine the amount of methane in the supply (in mole)

Assume ideal gas,

PV = nRT

P = 1.0 atm

V = 17 ft3 = 481.38 L

T = 20 + 273 = 293 K  

R = 0.082 1 L atm K−1 mol−1

n = PV/RT

so,

n = (1 x 481.38)/(293 x  0.0821) = 20.011 mol

Interpretation: 17 ft3 of methane supplied is equivalent to 20.011 mol methane (17 ft3/20.011 mol)

Fourth, determine the heat produced from combustion of methane

The combustion of methane gas is represented by the reaction:

CH4 (g)  +   2 O2 (g) CO2 (g)  +   2 H2O (g)  

heat of combustion =

[heat of formation of CO2 (g) + 2 x heat of formation of H2O (g)] -

[heat of formation of CH4 (g) + 2 x heat of formation of O2 (g)]

From the standard table:

= [ -393.5 kJ + 2x(-241.8 kJ)] - [-74.8 kJ + 2x(0 kJ)]

= - 802.3 kJ  

Interpretation: The combustion of 1 mole of methane produces 802.3 kJ, otherwise known as molar enthalpy (-802.3 kJ/mol)

Fifth, determine the amount of methane required from energy requirement for heating water

heat required = 300.96 kJ

So,  

methane required = 300.96 kJ (1mol/ 802.3 kJ) =  0.3751 mol

Sixth, determine the volume of methane required

Volume methane required = 0.3751 mol (17 ft3/20.011 mol)

= 0.3186 ft3

Finally, the cost required at price rate $1.20/17 ft3

Cost of methane =  0.3186 ft3 ($1.20/17 ft3) =  

$0.0224

The Market for Hotel Rooms. Suppose with no tax the equilibrium price is $110 and the equilibrium quantity is 250. If the local
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

130, 150

Explanation:

Here, in the question the graph is missing. So, in the attachment the graph is attached.

Equilibrium is the state or condition, where there is balance or stable situation, which means that the opposing forces cancel each other force out and no changes or variations happen or occur.

In short, it is defined as the state where the quantity demanded is equal to the  quantity supplied, where there is no loss to the business.

From the graph, we could analyze that the new equilibrium price is 130 and at this price, the new equilibrium quantity is 150.

bixtya [17]

APV and WACC are similar in that they reflect the tax benefit of leverage.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that the adjusted present value (APV) is used to value a project.

The weighted cost of capital (WACC) implies the rate at which a company is expected to pay all its security holders in order to finance its assets.

In conclusion, APV and WACC are similar in that they reflect the tax benefit of leverage.

<u>Complete question:</u>

APV and WACC are similar in that they reflect the tax benefit of ...........

a. leverage

b. relocation

c. equity

d. waiting

On June 30, 2021, Singleton Computers issued 5% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $320 million. The bonds mature on June 3
inessss [21]

Answer:

The bonds were issed at $ 355,834,328.88 dollars

Interest expense for the first year:

interest expense: $ 7,116,686.58

Explanation:

The bond value will be equal to the present value of the coupon payment and maturity:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon: 320,000,000 x 2.5% = 8,000,000

time: 15 years x 2 payment per year = 30

rate 4% divide by 2  = 0.02

8000000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.02)^{-30} }{0.02} = PV\\

PV $179,171,644.4080

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   320,000,000.00

time   30.00

rate  0.02

\frac{320000000}{(1 + 0.02)^{30} } = PV  

PV   176,662,684.47

PV coupon 179,171,644.41 + PV m 176,662,684.47 = $ 355,834,328.88

proceeds 355,834,329

face value 320,000,000

premium on bonds payable 35,834,329

interest expense:

carrying value x market rate:

355,834,329 x 2% = 7,116,686.58
