Answer:

a. $1,028 million

b. 46.7%

Explanation:

a. Dividends are taken from the retained earnings and net income is added to the retained earnings. The formula for ending retained earnings is;

Ending retained earnings = Opening Retained earnings + Net Income - Dividends

14,329 = 13,157 + 2,200 - Dividends

Dividends = 13,157 + 2,200 - 14,329

Dividends = $1,028 million

b. Dividends as a percentage of income

= 1,028/2,200

= 0.467

= 46.7%

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

$56,000

Explanation:

The computation of the warranty expense for the month of November is shown below:

Warranty expense = Number of printers × Estimated percentage of defectives parts × Average cost per printer

= 20,000 printers × 2% × $140

= 400 × 1460

= $56,000

We simply multiplied the number of printers with the estimated percentage and the average printer cost so that the warranty expense could come

The daily demand for parts from a machining workcell JMB to an assembly workcell is 1,600 units. The average processing time is

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Daily demand for parts = 1600 units

Avg processing time = 25 seconds.

Capacity of a container = 250 units

Waiting time of a container before the JMB = 6 hours

Number of containters currently deployed = 10

Solution:

Total number of parts carried by the containter = 10 x 250 = 2500 parts.

Total numbers carried in excess as safety stock = 2500-1600 = 900

Percentage of safety stock = (900/1600) x 100 = 56.25%

If one container is removed total parts carried = 2250 units

Processing time at machine for 250 parts after loading in JMB = 250 x 25 seconds = 1.736 hours, but it has to wait for another 4.26 hours for the next container to be loaded because of the waiting time of the containter is 6 hours.

Processing time at machine for 1600 parts = 1600 x 25 seconds = 11.11 hours

Number of containers required for 1600 parts = 1600/250= 6.4 ~ 7 containters

Waiting time of 7 containers = 7 x 4.26 = 29.82 hours.

If one of the containers has to be removed 1600 parts has to be carried in 6 containers ie., 29.82hours - 6 hours = 23.82hours

Waiting time per container before loading = 23.82/6 = 3.97 hours.

Reduced Total waiting time of the container = 3.97 hours + the processing time of 250 parts = 3.97 + 1.736 =5.7hours ~ 5 hours and 42 minutes

Brent is a full-time exempt employee in Clark County, Indiana. He earns an annual salary of $39,360 and is paid semimonthly. He

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Federal Income tax ⇒ $80
FICA ⇒ $125.46
State income tax ⇒ $52.97
Local deduction - Clark County Income tax ⇒ $29.52

Explanation:

Brent gets paid semi-monthly so his pay per period is:

= 39,360 / (12 months *2)

= $1,640

Based on the table therefore, his federal tax is:

= $80

This figure is based on the intersection between income of $1,640 and 3 withholding allowances.

FICA tax rate is 7.65% so his FICA tax is:

= 1,640 * 7.65%

= $125.46

State income tax = $52.97

Local deduction - Clark County Income tax = $29.52

Total deductions:

= Federal tax + FICA + State income tax + Clark County income tax

= 80 + 125.46 + 52.97 + 29.52

= $287.95

Mark Crane purchased a $1,000 corporate bond five years ago for $1,055. The bond paid 7.0 percent annual interest. Five years la

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Mr Crane's total return on the bond investment was 5.35%

Explanation:

The return on a bond is also known as it yield to maturity (YTM). In order to find a bonds YTM we need to know its present value, future value, coupon payments and number of years. In this case the bond's present value is 1,055 because it was bought at this price, it's future value is 980 because it was sold for 980, its number of years was 5 as it was held for 5 years and its coupon payment was (0.07*1000)=70. Now in order to compute return or ytm we need to put all these values in a financial calculator and compute I

PV= -1055

FV= 980

PMT= 70

N=5

Compute I=5.35

The return on the bond investment was 5.35%
