Answer:

A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

B)  $118076

C)  The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye </u>

Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000

Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3

Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000

Fine = $130,000

hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

<u>B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing </u>

<em>condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%</em>

Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months

= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12

= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12  = $600,000

Applying kaizen costing

Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4

          Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000

Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]

Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61

difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924

with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076  i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = <em>$118076 </em>

C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

Given that

Proceeds for year 4 through 9 at $2Z​, ​$3Z

The Principal of the loan amount = $10,000

Interest rate = 7% per year

Based on the given information, the value of Z or the amount of repayment is  

= Principal of the loan amount ÷ Total annuity

= $10,000 ÷ 12.85254119

= $778.05625

and we assuming that the common stock has a par value of $6 per share

so

Jan. 10 cash is 66,500 × 6 = 399000

and cash for July 1  is = 41,500 × 8 = 332000

and common stock = 41,500 × 6  = 249000

paid in capital excess =  332000 - 249000 = 83000

Date             Account Titles                           Debit               Credit

Jan. 10          cash                                            399000

                    common stock                                                   399000

July 1             cash                                             332000

The risk-free rate of return is 2.5 percent; the expected rate of return on the market is 7 percent. Stock X has a beta coeffici
zvonat [6]

Answer:

  • Stock is overpriced/ overvalued.
  • Sell if you own it.
  • Don't buy if you don't.

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return on the stock:

Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)

= 2.5% + 1.3 * (7% - 2.5%)

= 8.35%

Price based on Constant Dividend Growth Model (CDGM):

Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)

Next dividend = 1.40 * ( 1 + 4%)

= $1.456

Price = 1.456 / (8.35% - 4%)

= $33.47

<em>Stock is selling for $35. It is overvalued. Don't buy the stock. Sell if you have the stock. </em>

Curvilinear costs always increase: a. When management performs break-even analysis. b. When volume increases, but at a nonconsta
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The correct option is : b. When volume increases, but at a nonconstant rate.

Explanation:

Curvilinear costs is a type of expense that <u>does not increase at a constant rate with the production volume.</u> It tends to have a sudden increase at low production volumes, then remains constant in the middle and then increases at high production volumes.

The curvilinear costs does not increase linearly with the production. Therefore, curvilinear cost is also called a nonlinear cost.

<u>Therefore, curvilinear costs always increase at a nonconstant rate with the increase in the production volume.</u>
