Answer:

0.514%

Explanation:

Productivity is defined as the number of deliveries divided by the number of drivers. Last year's productivity was:

P_L=\frac{103,500}{86}=1203.488

The productivity for the current year was:

P_C=\frac{112,500}{93}=1209.677

The percentage change in productivity (C) over the past two years IS:

C=\frac{P_C-P_L}{P_L}*100\%\\C=\frac{1,209.677-1,203.488}{1,203.488}*100\%\\C=0.514\%

There was 0.514% change in productivity over the past two years.

Heidi quit her job as a chef making $40,000 per year to start her own restaurant. The first year, Heidi's restaurant earned $100
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The accounting profit is $30,000.

Explanation:

The implicit cost of running the restaurant is the opportunity cost of giving up a salary of $40,000 per year working as a chef.  

The revenue earned from the restaurant is $100,000.  

The explicit costs is  

= $50,000 + $20,000

= $70,000  

An accountant will consider only the accounting cost or explicit cost in the calculation of profits.  

Accounting profit

= Total revenue - Explicit costs

=  $100,000 - $70,000  

= $30,000

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

Explanation:

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the value of the assets

And since there is a credit balance so the same is deducted from the account receivable

Schultz Industries is considering the purchase of Arras Manufacturing. Arras is currently a supplier for Schultz, and the acquis
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

$50.67 per share

Explanation:

using the discounted cash flow model, we can determine Arras's total value:

CF₀ = $7.6

CF₁ = $7.98

CF₂ = $8.379

CF₃ = $8.79795

CF₄ = $9.2378475

CF₅ = $9.699739875

CF₆ = $9.893734673

we must first find the terminal value at year 5 = $9.893734673 / (7% - 2%) = $197.874694

now we can discount the future cash flows:

firm's value = $7.98/1.07 + $8.379/1.07² + $8.79795/1.07³ + $9.2378475/1.07⁴ + $9.699739875/1.07⁵ + $197.874694/1.07⁵ = $7.458 + $7.319 + $7.182 + $7.048 + $6.916 + $141.081 = $177.004 million

the shareholders' share of the firm's value = $177.004 million - $25 million = $152.004 million

price per share = $152.004 million / 3 million shares = $50.668 ≈ $50.67 per share

How do organizations calculate various costs, and what do these calculations mean to business?
QveST [7]

Answer:

See the explanation section

Explanation:

Organizations calculate various costs with the help of the weighted average cost of capital. It is a significant cost measurement system through which organizations can calculate the cost of debt after tax, cost of new equities, cost of existing equities, and cost of preferred shares. WACC can be a benchmark for the organization. A firm needs to know those costs because it can make sure that whether those projects are running smoothly to continue or running worse to reject.

Another significant cost measurement method is the net present value. With the help of NPV, a business can make sure about a project to accept it or reject it.
