GV is a small accounting firm supporting wealthy individuals in their preparation of annual income tax statements. Every Decembe

r, GV sends out a short survey to their customers, asking for the information required for preparing the tax statements. Based on 50 years of experience, GV categorizes their cases into the following two groups:
i. Group 1 (new customers): 20% of cases
ii. Group 2 (repeat customers): 80% of cases
This year, there are 50 income tax statements arriving each week. In order to prepare the income tax statement, GV has three resources. The activities are carried out by the following three persons:
i. An administrative support person that processes every tax statement.
ii. Senior accountant (who is also the owner): who processes only tax statements for new customers
iii. Junior accountant: who only processes tax statements for repeat customers.
Processing times for both groups and all resources are shown in the table below. Assume that everyone works 40 hours per week.
Group Administrator [min/unit] Handling by senior accountant
[min/unit] Handling by junior accountant
[min/unit]
1 20 40 n/a
2 20 n/a 15

O Administrator
O Senior accountant
O Junior accountant

c. For a mix of 20:80 between new and old cases, what is the flow rate for repeat customers?

Answer:

a. To find bottleneck resource, we need to determine the utilization of each resource

Processing capacity of Administrator = Available time per week / Processing time = 40*60/20 = 120 cases per week

There are 50 cases per week. So utilization of Administrator = 50/120 = 41.7%

Processing capacity of Senior accountant = 40*60/40 = 60 cases per week.

New cases are 20% of 50 cases per week Therefore utilization of Senior accountant = 20%*50/60 = 16.7%

Processing capacity of Junior accountant = 40*60/15 = 160 cases per week.

Repeat cases are 80% of 50 cases per week Therefore utilization of Junior accountant = 80%*50/160 = 25%

Utilization of Administrator is maximum. Therefore it is the bottleneck resource for 20:80 mix of New and Repeat cases.

b. Flow rate of New cases per week = 50*20% = 10 cases per week

c. Flow rate of Repeat cases per week = 50*80% = 40 cases per week

d. In (a) we have seen that for 20:80 mix between new and repeat cases, Administrator is the bottleneck resource with a capacity of 120 cases per week. Therefore capacity for new cases = 120*20% = 24 per week

e. Capacity for Repeat customers = 120*80% = 96 per week

Waterway industries, has 4700 shares of 5%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100000 shares of $1 par value common s
e-lub [12.9K]

Since the preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the dividend amount not paid in the current year will be accumulated and paid in the next year.

Preferred dividend to be paid in 2017 = Value of preferred stock x Dividend rate

= (4700 x $50) x 5%

= 11750

Dividend to be paid in 2018 = same as 2017 as no new preferred stock issued

= 11750

Total dividend to be paid in 2018 = Dividend to be paid in 2018 + Dividend to be paid in 2017 – Dividend paid in 2017

= 11750 +11750 -7900

= $15600

The proceeds of a 10,000 death benefit are left on deposit with an insurance company for seven years at an annual effective inte
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: $135

Explanation:

First find the future value of the proceeds.

= 10,000 * (1 + 5%)⁷

= $14,071

The monthly payments are equal so X is an annuity and as the payment is made immediately, this is an Annuity due.

Convert the interest rate into monthly figure:

= 3%/12

= 0.25%

Present value of annuity = Annuity * (( 1 - (1 + r)^-n ) / r) * (1 + r)

14,071 = Annuity * ((1 - (1 + 0.25%) ⁻¹²⁰) / 0.25%) * (1 + 0.25%)

14,071 = Annuity * 103.82

Annuity = 14,071 / 103.82

= $135.53

= $135

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$2.5 per share

Explanation:

Earning Per share is the amount of earning for the period that allocated to each share. Normally it is calculated using common shares. The earning used in this calculation is purely the earning that is associated with the shareholders of the company. We can have this earning after deducting all the expenses and preferred dividend as well.

Formula:

Earnings per share = Net Income / Numbers of common Shares

Earnings per share = $450,000 / 180,000

Earnings per share = $2.5 per share

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

African Route costs = -75,000, period 1 revenues = 215,000

Greek Route costs = -50,000, period 2 revenues = 140,000

Sumerian Route costs = -125,000, period 3 revenues = 385,000

discount rate = 5%

a) African route:

NPV = -75,000 + 215,000/1.05 = 129,762

B/C ratio = 215/75 = 2.87

Payback = 1 period

IRR = 187%

Greek route:

NPV = -50,000 + 140,000/1.05² = 76,984

B/C ratio = 140/50 = 2.8

Payback = 2 periods

IRR = 67%

Sumerian route

NPV = -125,000 + 385,000/1.05³ = 332,577

B/C ratio = 385/125 = 3.08

Payback = 3 periods

IRR = 45%

b) rank according to:

NPV = Sumerian route, African route, Greek route

B/C ratio = Sumerian route, African route, Greek route

Payback = African route, Greek route, Sumerian route

IRR = African route, Greek route, Sumerian route

c) if the family had unlimited resources, they should invest in the 3 routes since all their NPVs are positive.

d) African and Greek routes since they yield the highest gains (IRR).
