Answer:

A tax rate of 10.71% should make both both indifferent for investors.

Explanation:

the municipal bonds are income-tax free so we should solve for the tax rate which makes both bonds equaly attractive.

0.075 = after-tax rate

0.084 = pre-tax rate

pre-tax (1- t) = after-tax\\0.084 (1-t) = 0.075\\1 - t = 0.075 \div 0.084\\t = 1 - 0.075 \div 0.084\\t = 0.10714285

A tax rate of 10.71% should make both both indifferent for investors.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Inventory turnover ratio = 7.2 times

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning inventory = $70,000

Ending inventory = $108,000

Cost of goods sold = $644,000

Sales = $888,000

Find:

Inventory turnover ratio

Computation:

Average inventory = [Beginning inventory + Ending inventory] / 2

Average inventory = ($70,000 + $108,000) / 2

Average inventory = $89,000

Inventory turnover ratio =  Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

Inventory turnover ratio = $644,000 / $89,000

Inventory turnover ratio = 7.2 times

maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Annual demand (D) = 20000 units

Number of days per year = 250

Demand rate(d) = D/number of days per year = 20000/250 = 80 units

Production rate(p) = 655 units

Set up cost(S) = $1800

Holding cost (H) = $1.50

A) Optimum run size(Q) = sqrt of {2DS / H [1-(d/p)]}

= sqrt of {(2x20000x1800) /1.50[1-(80/655)]}

= Sqrt of [7200000/1.50(1-0.1221) ]

= sqrt of [72000000/(1.50 x 0.8779)]

= sqrt of (7200000/1.31685)

= Sqrt of 5467593.1199

= 2338 units

b) Maximum inventory ( I - max) = (Q/p) (p-d) = (2338/655)(655-80) = 3.5695 x 575 = 2052.46 or rounded off to 2052 units

Average inventory = I-max/2 = 2052/2 = 1026 units

C) Number of production setups per year = D/Q = 20000/2338 = 8.55 or rounded up to 6

d) optimal length of production run  = optimal run size /production rate = 2338/655 = 3.56 or rounded up to 4 days

A resource having economic worth that a person, business, or nation possesses or controls with the hope that it would someday be useful is referred to as an asset. The balance sheet of a business lists assets. They are divided into four categories: tangible, financial, fixed, and current. They are acquired or produced in order to raise a company's worth or improve the operations of the company. Whether it's industrial equipment or a patent, an asset may be viewed of as anything that, in the future, can create cash flow, lower expenditures, or increase sales.

Answer:

<em>Cost per Unit  Fatboy= $  27800 </em>

<em>Screamer Cost per unit =  $3779.80   </em>

Explanation:

Howrley-David, Inc.

                               

                                        Fatboy             Screamer           Total

Units Assembled               990                 1,980                  2,970

Materials cost per unit      $ 2,600        $ 3,600

Material Costs                   2574000         7128000  

Other costs:

Direct labor                          $1069200       2138400      $ 3,207,600

Indirect materials                                                                 534, 600

Other overhead                                                                  <u>  1,603,800</u>

FoH                                     712800           1425600           2138400

Total Costs                          2752,2000    7484000

<u>No of units                             990                1980</u>

<u>Cost per Unit                       27800              3779.80   </u>

The total costs have been added and then divided with the number of units to get the cost per unit.

Direct Labor Costs  =Total Direct Labor Costs/ Total number of units* required number of units

DLC for Fatboy= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *990= $1069200

DLC for Screamer= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *1980= 2138400

FActory Overheads = Total Factory Costs/ Total Units ( Required Units)

FOH for Fatboy=  534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 990= 712800

FOH for Screamer = 534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 1980=  1425600
