Answer:

The correct answer is motivated blindness.

Explanation:

Ethical blindness is a psychological phenomenon derived from what is known as: motivated blindness. It is that people see what they want to see and easily lose sight of conflicting information when it is in their interest to remain ignorant. The conflict of interest has a lot to do with this phenomenon. For example, if in the same work team - in any direction - the director maintains a personal relationship with a collaborator, the mistakes she makes will tend to minimize them against mistakes of other team members.

Both moral silence and ethical blindness are widespread phenomena within our corporate culture, and unfortunately they only manifest themselves when there is fraud within the company or a problem that affects the image of the company.These usually grow especially when the company You are succeeding and reaching your strategic and financial goals. Top management should focus more on these phenomena not only for an ethical duty issue but for proper risk management within the organization.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of capital = 10%

Mutually Exclusive Projects:

                            A       B        C        E

Payback (years)   1        5        2        5

IRR                    18%   20%    20%    12%

NPV (Millions) $40    $75    $35   $100

b) Project E should be preferred over all the other projects.  It has the highest net present value (NPV) and its internal rate of return (IRR) is above the company's cost of capital.  It surpasses projects A, B, and C in financial performance terms using time-value of money analysis.

A company has an opening stock of 6,000 units of output. The production planned for the current period is 24,000 units and expec
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.

finlep [7]

Answer:

9.68%

Explanation:

yield to maturity (YTM) = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

face value = $1,000

market value = $1,000 x 0.98 = $980

n = (13 - 2) x 2 = 22

coupon = $1,000 x 0.094 x 1/2 = $47

YTM = {$47 + [($1,000 - $980) / 22]} / [($1,000 + $980) / 2] = $47.9090 / $990 = 0.4839 x 2 (annual rate) = 0.09678 = 9.68%

Exercise 5-8 Equivalent Units; Cost per Equivalent Unit; Assigning Costs to Units-Weighted-Average Method [LO5-2, LO5-3, LO5-4]
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1. Calculate the first production department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.

  • materials = 275,000 + 50,000 = 325,000
  • conversion = 275,000 + 12,500 = 287,500

2. Compute the first production department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.

  • materials = $169,000 / 325,000 = $0.52
  • conversion = $253,000 / 287,500 = $0.88

3. Compute the first production department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May.

  • materials = 50,000 x $0.52 = $26,000
  • conversion = 12,500 x $0.88 = $11,000
  • total = $37,000

4. Compute the first production department's cost of the units transferred to the next production department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.

  • materials = 275,000 x $0.52 = $143,000
  • conversion = 275,000 x $0.88 = $242,000
  • total = $385,000

Explanation:

Beginning WIP 70,000 units

materials $56,100

conversion $16,400

Ending WIP 50,000 units

100% completed for materials (50,000 EU)

25% completed for conversion (12,500 EU)

units started 255,000

total units transferred out 275,000

materials cost added during the period = $112,900

conversion cost added during the period = $236,600
