The following information was taken from the segmented income statement of Restin, Inc., and the company's three divisions: Rest

in, Inc. Los Angeles Division Bay Area Division Central Valley Division Revenues $ 750,000 $ 200,000 $ 235,000 $ 325,000 Variable operating expenses 410,000 110,000 120,000 180,000 Controllable fixed expenses 210,000 65,000 75,000 70,000 Noncontrollable fixed expenses 60,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 In addition, the company incurred common fixed costs of $18,000. Assume that the Los Angeles division increases its promotion expense, a controllable fixed cost, by $10,000. As a result, revenues increased by $50,000. If variable expenses are tied directly to revenues, the new Los Angeles segment profit margin is:

Answer:

$112,500

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, we would compute first the Los Angeles division revenue.

Contribution margin

= Loss Angeles division revenues - Variable operating expenses

Los Angeles division revenues

= $200,000 + $50,000

= $250,000

Variable operating expenses

= ($110,000 × $250,000) / $200,000

= $137,500

Therefore,

Contribution margin

= $250,000 - $137,500

= $112,500

It means that if variable expenses are tied directly to revenues, the new Los Angeles profit margin would be $112,500

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

236.25

Explanation:

Calculation to determine X

First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield

6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)

6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1

6 month Yield=5%

Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent

Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1

Annual equivalent=10.25%

Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1

1 year yield=0.1025

Now Let calculate X

x(0.004667)=1+.1025

x(0.004667)=1.1025

x=1.1025/0.004667

x=236.25

Therefore X is 236.25

Emily's trust fund has a value of 100,000 on January 1, 1997. On April 1, 1997, 10,000 is withdrawn from the fund, and immediate
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

(a) Dollar Weighted Rate of return = 0.27

(b) Simple interest-based rate of return = (115000- 100000)/ 100000 = 0.15

(c) Since, the data or investment portfolio of Emily is of one year, we can calculate the money weighted rate of return but time weighted rate of return couldn’t be calculated.

Explanation:

For (a) Dollar Weighted Rate of return = 0.27

<em>Calculations:</em> 115000 = ((-10000) *(1 + r) ^ ((365-90)/365)) + 100000*(1+r)

So, using calculator we found r= 0.27  

Here we’ve equated the value of portfolio at Jan 1, 1998 with Value of portfolio on Jan 1, 1997 and using the formula for money weighted average rate of return we’ve found the rate of return. Since, we are taking annual money weighted average rate of return, so we don’t include the value of July cash flow, i.e. $5000.

For (b) Simple interest-based rate of return = (115000- 100000)/ 100000 = 0.15  

Since, the distribution of deposits and withdrawals is uniform, so it is simply the newer value minus original value divided by the original value and is most likely to percentage calculation.

(c) Since, the data or investment portfolio of Emily is of one year, we can calculate the money weighted rate of return but time weighted rate of return couldn’t be calculated.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. larger decrease in total risk.

Explanation:

The risk of an investment portfolio refers to the possibilities of obtaining the return, profit or profit you expect. Every investment involves a risk, and the more you can earn, the greater the risk. If you put your money on a fixed term, the risk is minimal, but it hardly gives you an interest even less than inflation. If you invest in the forex market, for example, you can earn a lot of money, but also the risk (that you do not achieve and even that you lose what you invested) is much greater. Every investor knows that he must assume some risk, because it is something inherent in the investment.
