Purchasing Power Parity or PPP deals with the fact that the purchasing power of a consumer should be similar either buying goods in a foreign country or in the home country. The exchange rate will adjust to maintain equal purchasing power if inflation in a foreign country differs from inflation in the home country.

Which two statements are true about batch size, lead time, and utilization? (Choose two.)
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The answers are b. As batch size increases, lead time decreases and d. Batch size is influenced by the Product Owner, utilization is influenced by the Development Team

Explanation:

Invariably, a larger batch size leads to increase in lead time due to the fact that it will take lesser time to process smaller batches and when there's a larger batch it takes more time. And ultimately, the batch size is influenced by the product owner because he/she determines the sixe of each product batch based on market demand while the development team conducts tests for utilization which guides them in making decisions that influence utilization.

A hardware buyer plans to purchase 75 ladders which will retail for $35 each. He has already placed an order for 48 ladders at $
Anarel [89]

Answer:

<em>The most he can pay for each of the remaining ladders if he is to obtain a 48% markup goal is </em><em>$36.357</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

  • <em>A hardware buyer plans to purchase 75 ladders which will retail for $35 each. </em>This means that he is going to sell each ladder for $35, regardless of how much he paid for them before.
  • <em>He has already placed an order for 48 ladders at $16.50 each</em>. So out of the 75 ladders he is planning to purchase and then sell, he bought 48 at a reduced price of only $16.50 each. Now if we subtract those numbers, as shown below, we determine that he still needs to buy 27 more ladders at an unknown price:

<em>(75 - 48) ladders = 27 ladders</em>

  • <em>What is the most he can pay for each of the remaining ladders if he is to obtain a 48% markup goal? </em>So we need to determine the maximum price for each of the remaining 27 ladders if he is to obtain a 48% markup goal.

<em>Markup </em><em>in this case is just a measure of the ratio (in %) between the profit made </em>(by selling 75 ladders for $35 each)<em> to the cost paid </em>(by buying 48 of them at $16.5 each and 27 of them at an unknown price). Its formula is as follows:

Markup=\frac{Profit}{Cost}*100

Now, we already have our markup goal of 48%, so we can substitute that number into the formula, and divide both sides of the equation by 100:

48=\frac{Profit}{Cost}*100\\0.48=\frac{Profit}{Cost}\\\frac{Profit}{Cost}=0.48

We know that Cost is the sum of what he paid for the 48 ladders, <em>plus </em>what he is to pay for the remaining 27 ladders, so it should look something like this:

Cost=(48ladders*16.5\frac{dollars}{ladder} )+(27ladders*x)

Cost=(792 dollars)+(27ladders*x)

Where '<em>x</em>' is the maximum price he can pay for each of the remaining 27 ladders if he is to obtain a 48% markup goal.

We should also know that Profit is what he gets by selling the 75 ladders, <em>minus </em>the cost paid for them. It should look something like this:

Profit=(75ladders*35\frac{dollars}{ladder} )-[(792dollars)+(27ladders*x)]

Profit=(2625dollars)-[(792dollars)+(27ladders*x)]\\Profit=(2625dollars)-(792dollars)-(27ladders*x)\\Profit=(1833dollars)-(27ladders*x)

Next, we want to substitute what we have so far for Cost and Profit into the worked Markup formula we had written before, and solve the equation by isolating our '<em>x</em>'. To do that, let's follow these steps:

\frac{Profit}{Cost}=0.48

\frac{(1833dollars)-(27ladders*x)}{(792 dollars)+(27ladders*x)}=0.48\\1833dollars-27ladders*x=0.48*[792 dollars+27ladders*x]\\1833dollars-27ladders*x=380.16dollars+12.96ladders*x

At this point, <em>we want to transfer the 'x' terms to one side of the equation, and the other terms to the other side</em>, so we get to the answer:

1833dollars-380.16dollars=12.96ladders*x+27ladders*x\\1452.84dollars=(12.96+27)ladders*x\\1452.84dollars=39.96ladders*x

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 39.96 ladders:

\frac{1452.84dollars}{39.96ladders} =x\\36.357\frac{dollars}{ladders}=x\\x=36.357\frac{dollars}{ladders}

So the most he can pay for each of the remaining ladders if he is to obtain a 48% markup goal is $36.357. That means that even if he buys the remaining ladders for a higher price than what he is willing to sell them for, he still obtains a 48% markup goal.

The accounting principle that requires that the cost flow assumption be consistent with the physical movement of goods is:a. cal
grigory [225]

Answer: C nonexistent; that is, there is no such accounting requirement.

Explanation: there is no accounting

assumption that requires that the cost flow be consistent with the physical movement of goods.

Instead, the movement of money (real or virtual) is tracked using a cash flow statement; income and profit matches revenues to the timing of when products/services are delivered—a company’s net income can actually be materially different from its cash flow.

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr. Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr. Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr. Hayfo
Alla [95]

Question:

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.

(a)​ What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?

(b) ​Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?

Answer:

To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of <em>Insurable Interest.</em>

A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.

For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.

In question (a) there are two cases.

<em>Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.</em>

Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies,  Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.

<em>Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early. </em>

Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.

The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.

In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.

(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:

i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.

ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

Cheers!
