Answer:
1. estimate the quantity of raw materials to be purchased.
2. ending raw materials inventory for the last period.
Explanation:
A budget is a financial plan used for the estimation of revenue and expenditures of an individual, organization or government for a specified period of time, often one year. Budgets are usually compiled, analyzed and re-evaluated on periodic basis.
The first step of the budgeting process is to prepare a list of each type of income and expense that will be part of the budget.
The final step by the management of an organization in the financial decision making process is making necessary adjustments to the budget.
The benefits of having a budget is that it aids in setting goals, earmarking revenues and resources, measuring outcomes and planning against contingencies.
1. The purpose of preparing a direct materials budget is to estimate the quantity of raw materials to be purchased. This includes the raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of finished goods.
2. In a direct materials budget, the desired ending raw materials inventory for the year is equal to the ending raw materials inventory for the last period.
Answer: The correct answer is "d. all of the above"
Explanation: In a perfectly-competitive industry a firm have no incentive to enter or exit the industry when:
- market price is equal to minimum long-run average cost.
- each firm earns a normal return.
This happens because in perfect competition companies reach a long-term equilibrium where extraordinary benefits are eliminated.
Answer: Zero
Explanation:
The Correlation Coefficient measures the relationship between 2 variables under study and ranges from -1 to +1 which -1 meaning that the two are perfectly negatively correlated and +1 meaning they are perfectly positively correlation. A Correlation Coefficient of 0 means that there is no relationship.
An efficient market is one where all information is available to every market participant. This means that one cannot use information from one period to make abnormal profits in another period because all information is available. The Correlation Coefficient will therefore show 0 because information from the previous period is not being used in another period meaning there is no relationship between stock returns.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Price ceiling:-This is show the limit of the price on maximizing value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer.
Binding:-The binding price ceiling is below the equilibrium price.
Unbinding:-The unbinding price ceiling is above equilibrium price.
Price floor:-This is show the limit of the price on lower value of the product which is decided by government and his imposed group for customer. A price floor must be higher than the price equilibrium price in order to be effective.
Binding:-The binding price floor is above the equilibrium price.
Unbinding:-The unbinding price floor is below the equilibrium price.
It is given that the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.
Statement 1:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $2.30 per gallon is decided.
Statement 2:-This is the example of price floor and binding because minimum price of $3.40 per gallon is decided for gasoline.
Statement 3:-This is the example of price floor and binding because teenagers are not hired due to minimum-wage laws.
Answer:
Plan A = 8.55%
Plan A =8.57%
Plan A =7.9%
Plan A =6.58%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital can be computed by multiplying the Cost of capital (after tax) with the weights. The weighted average cost for four plans are as follows
WACC = Cost of capital x Weights
PLAN A
Weights Cost of capital WACC
Debt 3.0 % 15 % 0.45%
Preferred stock 6.0 10% 0.6%
Common equity 10.0 75% 7.5%
WACC 8.55%
PLAN B
Weights Cost of capital WACC
Debt 3.2 % 25% 0.8%
Preferred stock 6.2 10% 0.62%
Common equity 11.0 65% 7.15%
WACC 8.57%
PLAN C
Weights Cost of capital WACC
Debt 4.0 % 35 % 1.4%
Preferred stock 6.7 10% 0.67%
Common equity 10.6 55% 5.83%
WACC 7.90%
PLAN D
Weights Cost of capital WACC
Debt 7.0 % 45 % 3.15%
Preferred stock 7.6 10% 0.76%
Common equity 12.6 45% 5.67%
WACC 6.58%
