nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Correct Answer:

a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.

Explanation:

For the small Canadian company, manufacturing the product at home (Canada) would afford them the opportunity to protect their new medical product from piracy. Also, they would be able to receive tax incentives from their government as well file for patent of their new innovation.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:$2,125 unfavorable

Explanation:

Given

Standard costs 9,000 hours at $5.50

Actual costs 8,500 hours at $5.75

we have two formulas to calculate for direct labor rate variance is:

1ST ----Direct Labor rate variance = (Actual Rate- Standard Rate ) x Actual hour

=( $5.75 -$5.50) x 8,500 = $2,125 unfavorable

2ND----Direct Labor Rate Variance=Actual Direct Labor Cost Incurred - Standard Direct Labor Cost Based on Actual Hours

=Actual Hours x Actual Rate -Actual Hours x Standard Rate

= ($5.75 x 8,500 hours)-($5.50 x 8,500 hours)

$48,875 - $46,750 = $2,125 unfavorable

when the actual rate is higher than the standard rate, the Direct Labor Rate Variance is unfavorable and if the actual rate is lower than standard rate, the variance is favorable.

A project will produce an operating cash flow of $136,000 a year for three years. The initial cash outlay for equipment will be

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

NPV =$ 60,311.80

Explanation:

The net present value (NPV) of a project is the present value of cash inflow less the present value of cash outflow of the project.

NPV = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow

We can set out the cash flows of the project using the table below:

0 1 2 3

Operating cash flow 136,000 136,000 136,000

Initial cost (274,000)

Working capital (61,000 ) 61,000

Salvage value 15000

Net cashflow (335,000) 136,000 136,000 212,000.

PV inflow= (136000)× (1.1)^(-1) + (136,000× (1.1)^(-2) + (112,000)× (1.1)^(-3)

= 395,311.80

NPV =395,311.80 -335,000

=$ 60,311.80

You and your spouse are in good health and have reasonably secure jobs. Each of you makes about $25,000 annually. You own a home

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

$88,150

Explanation:

DINK method for insurance sums one half of all the debt plus funeral expenses. Thus,

Using DINK method

One half of mortgage, 140,000 = 70000

One half of car loan, 14000 = 7000

One half of personal debts, 4800 = 2400

One half of credit card loans, 3500 = 1750

Funeral expenses = 7000

Thus

Total insurance needed =

70000 + 7000 +2400 + 1750 + 7000

= $88,150

Note that, when using DINK method, what the spouse earn isn't used in calculating total insurance.
