Answer:

This is the first stage of the Consumer Decision Process in which the consumer is able to recognize what the problem or need is and subsequently, what product or kind of product would be able to meet this need. It is oftentimes recognized as the first and most crucial step in the process because if consumers do not perceive a problem or need, they generally will not move forward with considering a product purchase.

You have the following information regarding a bond that pays semi-annual coupon payments: Time to maturity is 12 years Coupon R
IrinaK [193]

Answer: 2%

Explanation:

As the coupon payments are semi-annual, you need to convert the other measures to semi-annual measures as well.

Coupon rate = 6%/2 = 3% per semi annum

Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000 which is par value = $30

Time to maturity = 12 * 2 = 24 semi annual periods

Price is still the same = $1,189.14

You can use an Excel worksheet to solve for the Yield:

Number of periods = 24

Payment = $30

PV = 1,189.14

FV is par value of $1,000

Periodic rate is 0.019999

= 2%

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales for the last four months :

8, 10, 15, and 9 units

Last four forecast of sales:

9, 11, 8 and 12 units

Now,

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) value of these forecast will be calculated as:

MAD = [ ∑|Sales - Forecast sales| ] ÷ [ Total number of forecast ]

or

MAD =  [ |8 - 9| + |10 - 11| + |15 - 8| + |9 - 12| ] ÷ 4

or

MAD = [ 1 + 1 + 7 + 3 ] ÷ 4

or

MAD = 12 ÷ 4

or

MAD = 3

Houston Houston Office Equipment manufactures and sells metal shelving. It began operations on January​ 1,2014.
Vanyuwa [196]

Solution:

1) If 2 pounds of direct materials are used to make one unit of finished product, then 115,000 units × 2 lbs, or 230,000 lbs were used at $0.65 per lb of direct materials i.e. ($149,500 ÷ 230,000 lbs.).

The Formula for calculating Ending Direct Material Cost =  [Ending Direct Material Inventory * Cost per lb]

Therefore, Ending Direct Materials cost is 1,900 lbs. * $0.65 = $1,235.

2) Manufacturing Costs for 115,000 units  

   Variable Fixed Total

   Direct materials costs – $149,500  + Direct manufacturing labor costs – 31,500  + Plant energy costs – 3,000  + Indirect manufacturing labor costs

 

   (Variable + Fixed) i.e. 15,000+12,000 - 27,000  + Other indirect manufacturing costs

 

   (Variable + Fixed) i.e. 10,000+32,000 - 42,000

    So, Cost of goods manufactured - $253,000

Average unit manufacturing cost = $253,000 ÷ 115,000 units

                                                       = $2.20 per unit

Finished Goods Inventory at Dec. 31, 2014 = $15,400

Therefore Finished goods inventory total units = $15400 / $2.20

                                                                                = 7,000 units

3) Units sold in 2014 = Beginning inventory + Production – Ending inventory

                                   = 0 + 115,000 –7,000

                                 = 108,000 units

Therefore, Selling price in 2014 = Total Revenues / Units Sold

                                                      = $583,200 ÷ 108,000

                                                      = $5.40 per unit

4) Operating Income for 2014

            Revenues(108,000 units sold × $5.40) = $583,200

           Cost of units sold:

            Beginning finished goods, Jan. 1, 2014 = $0

            Cost of goods manufactured = $253,000

           Cost of goods available for sale = $253,000

           Ending finished goods, Dec. 31, 2014 = $15,400

           So, Cost of Units sold ($253000 - $15400) = $237,600

Therefore, Gross margin = Total Revenue - Cost of Units Sold

                                          = $583,200 - $237,600

                                         = $345,600

Operating costs:  Marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs

Variable + Fixed i.e. ($126,000 + $48,000) = $174,000

Administrative costs = $57000

Total Operating Costs = $231,000

Therefore Operating income for 2014 = $345600 - $231,000

                                                                = $114600
