Answer:
The annual rate of return is -2.83%
Explanation:
The annual rate can be calculated from the formula FV=PV*(1+r)^N
Where FV is the future value of the investment
PV is the amount invested which is $276,500
N is 9 years
213600=276,500*(1+r)^9
213600/276500=(1+r)^9
divide index on both sides by 9
(213600/276500)^1/9=1+r
(213600/276500)^1/9-1=r
r=-0.02827109
r=-2.83%
Hence the annual rate of return on the investment is -2.83%, which means the investment depleted by 2.83% from initial invested amount of $276,5000 to $213,600 after nine years
Answer:
80000 unit of Alpha
Explanation:
This is a Limiting factor/resource constraint question. In certain situations entities suffer from shortage of necessary resources (e.g: shortage of material, labor hours, machine hours), in such circumstances entities strive to allocate the constraint resources to the production of those products which generate the highest contribution per limiting factor and help maximize total contribution. In this case the limiting factor for Cane is Raw material.
Lets suppose that each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta sell for $120 and $80</em> respectively and variable cost per unit of <em>Alpha and Beta is $69 and $20 </em>respectively. Each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta require 2 and 5 pounds</em> of raw material for production respectively.
Now that we have supposed the data we have to compute contribution per unit and then contribution per limiting factor and based on the ranking (i.e highest first) of contribution per limiting factor we decide which product should be given priority for resource allocation.
<em>Lets calculate contribution per unit.</em>
Alpha:
Contribution per unit= SP-VC
Where, SP stands for selling price and VC stands for variable cost.
CPU= 120-69
CPU=$51
Beta:
Contribution per unit= 80-40
CPU=$40
<em />
<em />
<em>Now, lets calculate contribution per limiting factor.</em>
Alpha:
CLF: $51÷2
CLF: $25.5 1st Rank
Beta:
CLF: $40÷5
CLF: $8 2nd Rank
So clearly Alpha has a greater contribution per limiting factor and it implies that Alpha will earn the highest contribution margin therefore Cane should produce and allocate resources to Alpha first and then Beta if there remains any?
Profit maximizing output:
It requires 2 pounds of raw material to produce one unit of Alpha (i.e 80000×2=160000) Therefore Cane should produce 80000 units of Alpha only in order to maximize its profits.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that George is a creative salesperson, and is the main reason why he is so valued. This creativity allows George to come up with all the new ideas that others may not be able to come up with, and these ideas and tactics create value to the company.
Answer:
Monthly paymenty for $ 997.954
Explanation:
We have to calcualte for the PTM of the mortgage for the first three years at which the rate is fixed:
PV $150,000
time 360 (30 years x 12 months)
rate 0.005833333 (7% annual / 12 months)
C $ 997.954
Answer
a) $15
Explanation:
We will use the formula for Total labor variance to arrive at Standard rate.
Total labor variance = (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × Standard rate)
Substituting the data above into the formula, we'll have;
-$23,000 = (4,000 × $13) - (5,000 × SR)
-$23,000 = $52,000 - 5,000SR
Collect like terms
5,000SR = $52,000 + $23,000
5,000SR = $75,000
SR = $75,000 / 5,000
SR = $15
