Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I provided some explanation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, in the stock/asset trading market, the term <em>'stock/asset is overvalued' </em>is used when the worth of a particular asset or stock is overestimated; in other words having a stock price that is too high considering the projects/company's usefulness.

Hence, the journalist's comments may have been based on this observation.

Garfield Corp. expects to sell 1,300 units of its pet beds in March and 900 units in April. Each unit sells for $110. Garfield’s

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

$62,800

Explanation:

Following Garfield Corp's policy, the number of pet beds that must be purchased, assuming no initial inventory, is given by the expected number of sales in March (1,300 units) added to 30% of the expected sales in April (30% of 900 units):

$n=1,300 +(0.3*900)\\n=1,570\ units$

Since the company purchases each pet bed for $40, total budgeted purchases are:

$P=\$40*n=\$40*1,570\\P=\$62,800$

Garfield Corp's total budgeted purchases for March are $62,800.

Botosan Factory has budgeted factory overhead for the year at $453,120, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 384,000

Sloan [31]

Answer: $412,292

Explanation:

First compute Overhead Absorption Rate = Budgeted Overhead divided by Budgeted Activity Level

In this question the activity level is Direct Labour Hours (DLH) which is the basis for allocating overhead.

budgeted factory overhead for the year at $453,120, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 384,000.

$453,120 divided by 384,000 DLH =$1.18

Overheard to be allocated for May is OAR * Actual Activity level

$1.18*349400= $412,292

This is the amount to be allocated to may

You are considering in investing one of the two options: Investment A requires a $255,000 upfront payment from you and generates

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.
