One of the main reasons that stocks do not reflect the health of the economy most of us experience is the rise of stock buybacks. Companies often push stocks higher, partly and arguably, to raise the value of the stock options of their management by buying them on the open market.

You are given the following long-run annual rates of return for alternative investment instruments: U.S. Government T-bills 3.10

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The real rate of return is 0.10%

Explanation:

For computing the real rate of return, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:

( 1 + nominal rate) = ( 1 + real rate) × (1 + inflation rate)

So,

The real rate = {(1 + nominal rate) ÷ (1 + inflation rate)} - 1

= ((1 + 3.10%) ÷ (1 + 2%)} - 1

= (1.031 ÷ 1.02) - 1

= 1.0107 - 1

= 0.10

The Government T-bills is only the nominal rate so we considered this only

Answer:

1. It has worsened

2. Yes (refer details below)

3. Refer details below

Explanation:

1. Performance

The performance of the company over the last three years has worsened as indicated by declining sales and decreasing current ratios impacting profitability and liquidity of the company.

2. Concerns

One of the most important concern for the company is its declining sales. It shows that the products are not competitive. Current ratios indicates liquidity crisis since they are decreasing.

3. Recommendations

The company's turnover ratio is high, which may indicates payments are being received timely, and hence the co. should take advantage of that

Low inventory turnover, on the other hand, indicates weaker sales and declining demand for a company’s products which is corroborated by the declining sales trend, the co. must increase its sales, launch new products, advertise aggressively.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:

A wood products company has decided to purchase new logging equipment for $100,000 with a trade-in of its old equipment. The old equipment has a BV of $10,000 at the time of the trade-in. The new equipment will be kept for 10 years before being sold. Using the MACRS (GDS recovery period), what is the depreciation charge permissible at year 1?

Depreciable value using MACRS is $100,000 and logging equipment is classified as 7 year class, and I will use the half-year convention:

depreciation year 1 = $100,000 x 14.29% = $14,290

Sauron [17]

Answer:

South Charleston Plant of Ravinia, Inc.

1. Cost behavior formula:

Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0q

Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20q

Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)

2. Cost of each item for an activity output level of 8,000 moves:

Forklift depreciation = $1,600

Indirect labor = $92,600

Fuel and oil for forklift = $5,680

3. Total cost formula = $48,150 + $6.47q

Materials handling cost = $99,880

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Resource Number of Moves Total Cost

Forklift depreciation:

Low 5,000 $1,600

High 15,000 1,600

Indirect labor:

Low 5,000 $74,000

High 15,000 136,000

Fuel and oil for forklift:

Low 5,000 $3,550

High 15,000 10,650

Cost behavior formula for each resource:

Forklift depreciation:

Low 5,000 $1,600

High 15,000 1,600

Difference 10,000 $0

Variable cost per unit = $0 ($0/10,000)

Fixed cost = $1,600

Cost behavior formula = $1,600 + $0q

Indirect labor:

Low 5,000 $74,000

High 15,000 136,000

Difference 10,000 62,000

Variable cost per unit = $6.20 ($62,000/10,000)

Fixed cost = $43,000 ($74,000 - ($6.20*5,000))

Cost behavior formula = $43,000 + $6.20q

Fuel and oil for forklift:

Low 5,000 $3,550

High 15,000 10,650

Difference 10,000 $7,100

Variable cost per unit = $0.71 ($7,100/10,000)

Fixed cost = $3,550 ($3,0 - ($0.71 * (15,000 - 5,000))

Step cost

Cost behavior formula = $3,550 + $0.71 (q - 5,000)

Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600

Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600

Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680

Total cost formula: Fixed + Variable

Forklift depreciation = $1,600 + $0 * 8,000 = $1,600

Indirect labor = $43,000 + $6.20 * 8,000 = $92,600

Fuel and oil for forklift = $3,550 + $0.71 (8,000 - 5,000) = $5,680

$48,150 + $51,730 = $99,880

= $48,150 + $6.47q ($51,730/8,000)

Materials handling cost = ($1600 + $43000) + ($6.20 + $0.71) X

= $44600 + $6.91 X

Y = $44600 + ($6.91 x 8000)

= $44600 + $55280

= $99880
