Answer:

The correct answer is B. benchmarking.

Explanation:

Benchmarking is a continuous process by which the products, services or work processes of leading companies are taken as a reference, to compare them with those of your own company and then make improvements and implement them.

It is not about copying what your competition is doing, but learning what leaders are doing to implement it in your company by adding improvements. If we take as a reference those who stand out in the area we want to improve and study their strategies, methods and techniques for post

During its first year of operation Mazer Manufacturing Company produced 2,000 units of inventory and sold 1,800 units. Mazer inc
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:  The amount of gross margin Mazer would report if the company uses absorption costing is $1350.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mazer Manufacturing Company produced = 2,000 units of inventory

Units Sold = 1,800 units

Variable product cost = $4 per unit

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost =  $2,500

Sales price of the products = $6 per unit

Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = \frac{Total\ cost}{units\ produced}

= \frac{2500}{2000}

= $1.25 per unit

Unit Product cost under Absorption costing = Variable product cost + Fixed manufacturing cost per unit

= 4 + 1.25

= $5.25

∴ Gross margin under Absorption costing = Sales Revenue - Cost of goods sold

= Units sold × sales price - Units sold × Unit Product cost under Absorption costing

= 1800 × 6 - 1800 × 5.25

= 10800 - 9450

= $1350

Assume that you purchase a 6-year, 8% certificate of deposit for $1,000. If interest is compounded annually, what will be the va
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

$ 1,586.8743

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what will be the value of the certificate when it matures

Compounded annually

Principal P= 1000

Rate r=0.08

Period n = 6

Using this formula

A = P (1+r)^n

Let plug in the formula

1000 (1.08)^6

= 1586.8743

Therefore what will be the value of the certificate when it matures is $1586.8743

A firm's WACC can be correctly used to discount the expected cash flows of a new project when that project will: Multiple Choice
Serggg [28]

Answer:

...when that project will have the same level of risk as the firm's current operations

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the company's cost of capital based on its proportion of equity and debt used in its capital structure. It can be used as the discount rate for calculating the present value of future expected cashflows of a project if the project is determined to be of similar risk to the company's operations; meaning that the estimated beta of the project is the same as the beta of the firm.

Assume a major investment service has just given Oasis Electronics its highest investment rating, along with a strong buy recomm
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Share price : $ 56.23

Explanation:

CAPM

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.05

market rate = 0.11

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.06

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.64

Ke= 0.05 + 1.64 (0.06)

Ke 0.14840

Now, we solve for the present value of the future dividends:

year   dividend*     present value**

1  2.91                 2.53

2  3.31                 2.51

3  3.78         2.49

4  4.31                 2.48

4   80.38          46.22

TOTAL            56.23

*Dividends will be calculate as the previous year dividends tiems the grow rate

during the first four year is 14%

then, we calcualte the present value of all the future dividends growing at 9% using the dividend grow model:

\frac{D_1}{K_e-g}

(4.31 x 1.09) / (0.1484 - 0.09) = 80.38

Then we discount eahc using the present value of a lump sum:

\frac{Cashflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

We discount using the CAPM COst of Capital of 14.84%

last we add them all to get the share price: $ 56.23
