ducts only to friends and family and was able to pay for everything as she went along. Now that the business is growing, she knows she cannot finance the expansion out of her own pocket, so she is considering taking out a loan. She has no experience with financial institutions, other than the basics such as managing her personal bank accounts, a credit card, a mortgage and a car loan, all of which are with the local credit union.
You offer to help out Wanda by explaining the various options available to her at this stage in her business’s development. Write an email to her addressing the following areas:

Describe 2 options Wanda has for raising capital for her business (for example
1. take a term loan (eg 1 year)
2. look for investors to fund her business in exchange for ownership in her company
-Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each funding method.
-Offer a recommendation for the method you feel is the best fit for Wanda’s business. Be sure to include your reasons for making that recommendation.

Based on the advantages and disadvantages for each type of financing mentioned below, the best method for financing the expansion for Wanda's business is taking a loan (e.g. 1 year).

<u>Take a term loan (e.g. 1 year)</u>

A term loan is best described as an amount provided by the bank for a fixed amount and a agreed payment schedule with an interest rate either fixed or floating.

The main advantage of a bank loan is that it would not be repaid on demand instead it would be paid back as per schedule within a period of 1 to 10 years. Another advantage is that you would only have to pay the bank the interest rate and not the company's profit or share.

The disadvantage is that when loans are taken, then the amount (principal) and interest is to be repaid even if the loan is not being used. Another possible disadvantage is that a loan can be obtained if you have any asset (such as a house or car) to be kept as security. This is a guarantee in the likely event the bank's loan is not repaid on time.

<u>Look for investors to fund her business in exchange for ownership in the company</u>

This means finding individuals/institutions to provide financing as capital to be used in business for expansion.

Unlike a bank loan, here the investors accept the risk that if the business fails then their financing would be lost. Therefore, if the business ends up in losses then the amount is not required to be returned to their respective financiers. Another advantage is that you don't require any credit history to earn financing through investors.

The main disadvantage is that the sharing (profits) are divided between multiple investors based on their investment or as per their agreed sharing ratio. Moreover, the new investors might prefer to take more risks for a business to grow and which means that the stakes are always high.

In conclusion, Wanda is working on a small business and which is expanding at a slow rate with the risk being kept at a bare minimum. In which case taking a loan with amount and duration being set at a point where she would be able to return the loan acquired, is a better financing option for Wanda's business.

Mauritiana uses standard costing for her shawls. She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the stand
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the standard wage rate is $ 10.00 per hour. An average shawl uses 12 skeins of wool. Marina shops around for good​ deals, and expects to pay $ 3.30 per skein.

For ​ April, Mauriona​'s workers produced 200 shawls using 784 hours and 3,360 skeins of wool. Mauriona bought wool for $ 10,420 ​(and used the entire​ quantity), and incurred labor costs of $ 8,100.

1)

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 3.10

Direct material price variance= (3.3 - 3.10)*3,360= $672 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= [(12*200) - 3,360]*3.3= $3,168 unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= [(4*200) - 784]*10= $160 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (10 - 10.33)*784= 258.72 unfavorable

2)

Deployment Specialists pays a current (annual) dividend of $1 and is expected to grow at 22% for two years and then at 5% therea
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The value of the stock = $19.64

Explanation:

According to the dividend valuation model, <em>the value of a stock is the present value of the expected future cash flows from the stock discounted at the the required rate of return.</em>

Year                     Workings                        Present value(PV)

1                 $1 × (1.22)  × 1.11^(-1)  =                     1.10

2                 $1 × (1.22)^2 ×(1.11)^(-2) =                1.21

3                 $1 × ((1.22)^2 × (1.05))/0.11-0.05) = 21.35 ( PV in year 2 terms)

PV (in year 0) of Year 3 dividend  = 21.35 × 1.11^(-2)

                                      = 17.33 (see notes)

<em>The value of the stock</em> = $1.10+ $1.21 + 17.3

                                      = $19.64

Notes:

<em>Note the growth applied to year 3 dividend gives the PV in year 2 terms. So we need to re-discount again to year 0.</em>

<em />

The value of the stock = $19.64

11. Brooke Company desires net income of $720,000 when it has $2,000,000 of fixed costs and variable costs of 60% of sales. Cont
Mila [183]

Answer:

b. $2,720,000

Explanation:

The contribution margin is what is left after subtracting the variable cost from the sales.

From there, the company pays their fixed cost and the rest is net income.

In this case you have a company desiring to get 720,000 net income after paying their 2,000,000 fixed cost

So we come up with with formula:

Contribution Margin - Fixed Cost = Net Income

Replacing the know values, we get the unknow value. Like it was a solve for X question:

X - 2,000,000 = 720,000\\X = 2,000,000 + 720,000\\X = 2,720,000

Joshua borrowed $500 on January 1, 2017, and paid $25 in interest. The bank charged him a service charge of $15. He paid it all
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.

To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.

Finance charge = 25 + 15

= $40

Back to the APR formula we will have,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed

APR = 40/500

= 0.08

APR is 8%.
