Answer: a. Railroad loading

Explanation:

This question relates to the BCG matrix which allows a company with multiple divisions to know how to deal with its various divisions based on their growth rate and market share.

The question specifically relates to a matrix called "Cash cows". Cash cows are divisions that have a significant market share but a low growth rate. These divisions are stable and bring more money into the company than they cost to run.

This allows us to take profits from them and invest in other. The Railroad loading controls a significant market share of 75% but has a low growth rate so is a Cash cow.

Serga [27]

Answer:

d. Cash 27,000

Floyd, Capital 5,250

Merriam, Capital 1,750

Ramelow, Capital 20,000

Explanation:

First of all we need to calculate the total capital after admission

Total Capital after admission = $50,000 + $23,000 + $27,000 = $100,000

Share of Ramelow = Total Capital x Partnership share = $100,000 x 1/5 = $20,000

Actual Payment made by Ramelow = $27,000

Amount of goodwill paid by Ramelow = $27,000 - $20,000 = $7,000

This goodwill will be distributed between Floyd and Merriam as per their partnership ratio

Share of Goodwill ro Flyod = $7,000 x 3/4 = $5,250

Share of Goodwill ro Merriam = $7,000 x 1/4 = $1,750

Helen [10]

Calculation of Direct Material Budget for the month of July:

Budgeted production (Units) for July 5,000

Material required per unit (pounds) 3

Material requirement for July (pounds) = (5000 units * 3 pounds) 15,000

Add: Ending material inventory (5300 units * 3 pounds* 30%) 4,770

Less: Beginning material inventory 4,500

Direct Material Purchase (Pounds) (15000+4770-4500) = 15,270

Cost per pound of Metrial ($) $6.00

Direct Material Purchase ($) (15270 pounds * $6) = $91,620

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Martha receives $200 on the first of each month. Stewart receives $200 on the last day of each month. Both Martha and Stewart will receive payments for 30 years. The discount rate is 9 percent, compounded monthly.

To calculate the present value, first, we need to determine the final value.

i= 0.09/12= 0.0075

n= 30*12= 360

<u>Martha:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

A= montlhy payment

FV= {200*[(1.0075^360)-1]}/0.0075 + {[200*(1.0075^360)]-200}

FV= 366,148.70 + 2,746.12

FV= 368,894.82

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/ (1+i)^n

PV= 368,894.82/ 1.0075^360

PV= $25,042.80

<u>Stewart:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly payment

FV= {200*[(1.0075^360)-1]}/0.0075

FV= 366,148.70

PV= 366,148.70/1.0075^360

PV= $24,856.37

Martha has a higher present value because the interest gest compounded for one more time.
