cricket20 [7]

Answer: the correct answer is a. Machine B

Explanation:

Machine A average rate return

40000 out of 300000. It means that 300000 is 100% and $ 40000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

40000 X X= 4000000/300000

300000 100% X= 13.33%

Machine B average rate return

50000 out of 250000. It means that 250000 is 100% and $ 50000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

50000 X X= 5000000/250000

250000 100% X= 20%

Machine C average rate return

$75,000 out of $500,000. It means that $500,000 is 1005 and $75,000 is X. We apply a simple three rule

$75,000 X X=7500000/500000

$500,000 100% X= 15%

The highest average is the one onf Machine B

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Coke tried to diversify into the bottling industry by acquiring their bottlers and in the process creating a vertically integrated business. However, 5 years later, they did find out how difficult it was and it led to a failed diversification effort when sold off their bottling operations. This was majorly due to the fact that the bottling business required too much capital investment and time. Capital investment and time that an already large enterprise like coca cola couldn't afford at that period. The initial aim was to have control over the whole production process, but soon after the diversification failed, they went back to producing just the concentrates.

Marpor Industries has no debt and expects to generate free cash flows of $16 million each year. Marpor believes that if it perma

tatyana61 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Marpor's value without leverage is

But before that first we have to calculate the required rate of return which is

The Required rate of return = Risk Free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

= 5% + 1.1 × (15% - 5%)

= 16%

Now without leverage is

= Free cash flows generates ÷ required rate of return

= $16,000,000 ÷ 16%

= $100,000,000

b. And, with the new leverage is

= (Free cash flows with debt ÷ required rate of return) + (Tax rate × increase of debt)

= ($15,000,000 ÷ 0.16) + (0.35 × $40,000,000)

= $93,750,000 + $14,000,000

= $107,750,000

alexira [117]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the total estimated direct labor cost is shown below:

Particulars 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Year

Units to be produced 10,700 9,700 11,700 12,700 44,800

Multiply Direct labor hour per unit 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25

Total Direct labor hour required 2675 2425 2925 3175 11200

Multiply Direct labor rate per hour $14 $14 $14 $14 $14

Estimated Direct labor cost $37,450 $33,950 $40,950 $44,450 $156,800

b. The total estimated manufacturing cost and the cash disbursement is shown below:

Particulars 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Year

Units to be produced 10,700 9,700 11,700 12,700 44,800

Direct labor hour per unit 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25

Multiply Total Direct labor hour required 2675 2425 2925 3175 11200

Variable manufacturing overhead rate $2 $2 $2 $2 $2

Estimated Variable manufacturing overhead cost $5,350 $4,850 $5,850 $6,350 $22,400

Add: Fixed manufacturing overhead $67,000 $67,000 $67,000 $67,000 $268,000

Total estimated manufacturing overhead $72,350 $71,850 $72,850 $73,350 $290,400

Less: depreciation $16,000 $16,000 $16,000 $16,000 $64,000

Cash disbursement for manufacturing overhead $56,350 $55,850 $56,850 $57,350 $226,400

We simply applied the above format to find out the manufacturing overhead, cash disbursement, and the direct labor cost
