Sheffield Corp. estimates its sales at 150000 units in the first quarter and that sales will increase by 15000 units each quarte

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

183,750

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales in the first quarter = 150,000 units

Increase in sales each quarter = 15000 units

Ending inventory = 25% of the current sales units

Now,

Ending inventory of first quarter = 25% of Units produced in the first quarter

= 0.25 × 150,000

= 37,500

Units produced in the first quarter = Sales + Ending inventory of first quarter

= 150,000 + 37,500

= 187,500

Units to be produced in the second quarter

= Sales in second quarter - Ending inventory of first quarter + Ending inventory

= [ 150,000 + 15,000 ] - 37,500 + 25% of [ 150,000 + 15,000 ]

= 165,000 - 37,500 + 41,250

= 168,750

Units to be produced in the Third quarter

= Sales in third quarter - Ending inventory of second quarter + Ending inventory

= [ 150,000 + 15,000 + 15,000 ] - 41,250 + 25% of [ 150,000 + 15,000 + 15,000 ]

= 180000 - 41,250 + 45,000

= 183,750

Your company currently has $ 1 comma 000 par, 6 % coupon bonds with 10 years to maturity and a price of $ 1 comma 078. If you w

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The next coupon rate that is needed to set is 5.00%

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

Your company presently has =$1,000 par

Coupon bonds = 6%

Maturity = 10 years

The next step is to find the coupon rate that is needed or required to set.

Now,

The number of semi annuals to maturity, NPER = (10 YEARS * 2)= 20

Semiannual coupon payments, PMT = ($1000 * 6%/2) = $30

The current selling price per bond (FV) = $1078

The maturity value at the end is = $1000

The semiannual compound type, = 0 (It is 0 if compounded at the end of each semiannual and is 1 if compounded at the start of each semiannual)

Semi annual interest rate is = 2.5%

Thus,

The number of semi annuals in a year is = 2

The annual coupon rate of bonds (new) = 2/50 % * 2

= 5.00%

It is important to note that the semi annual coupon rate is computed suing the excel function rate (nper, pmt, pv, fv, type),

Whereby

PV =1078

NPR = 20

PMT =30

FV = 1000

TYPE = 0.

FALSE.

The business plan must be formal, not just an idea or view in the mind of the owners or managers, as such it must be documented.

B. Established businesses do not create a business plan.

FALSE.

Business plans change with time. As much as starting business, established business must periodically review the conditions and goals and update, or even importantly change the business plan.

C. A business plan is a business’s roadmap for the future.

TRUE.

Business plan gives direction, the ways to reach the goals, the tasks to be performed.

D. A business plan guarantees a business’s success.

Success is never guaranteed. Risk is intrinsic to all the human activities. Complexity of human interactions and changing circumstances do not permit to guarantee that a plan guarantees the success. That is why business plans must be revised and ajusted or changed to adapt the goals and the actions to be the most sucessfull possible, but without guarantees.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

E.g., Nokia did...

Customers made it clear to them that neither Windows phone nor Symbian will get anywhere near Android or iOS.

They resisted, ignored. They just flat out wanted the customers to adapt to their OS rather the other way around due to the absolute authority in the mobile phone market share.

As with any business which doesn't evolve as per the customer demands, the end was inevitable, and it was just a matter of time.
