Answer:
696,325 Pounds
Explanation:
The computation of the direct material purchase budget is given below:
Here we assume that
one pound = 16 ounces
Now total wax needed is
= Production of Finished Goods × Pounds of wax needed for production
= 730,000 candles × 11 ÷ 16
= 501,875 pounds
Now
Total direct material purchased = (Total Wax needed + Ending Inventory, Jan.31 - opening inventory) × unit price
= (490,625 Pounds + 12,900 pounds - 17,400 pounds) × $1.40 per pound
= 696,325 Pounds

This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
Answer:
a. The total employment compensations for the two employees are the same
Explanation:
Employee compensation refers to payment made to employees by an organization in consideration for the services rendered.
Employee compensation can be in cash form such as salary and wages, perquisites, allowances, incentives, commission, etc.
In the given case,
<u>Compensation for Employee A</u>:
= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses
= $57200 + 5300 - 800
= $ 61,700
Similarly,
Compensation for Employee B:
= Gross Pay + Employee benefits - Job expenses
= $56,900 + $6200 - $ 1400
= $61,700
Thus, employment compensation for both A and B are the same.
Answer:
(a) $4.08
(b) $51.03
Explanation:
Constant growth rate for earnings:
= (EPS for any year ÷ EPS for the previous year) - 1
= (8.40 ÷ 8.00) - 1
= 0.05
= 5%
(a) EPS for 2016 = EPS for 2015 × (1 + 5%)
= 9.72 × 1.05
= $10.21
Dividend for 2016 = 40% × EPS for 2016
= 40% × 10.206
= $4.08
(b) Stock Price at the beginning of 2016:
= Dividend for 2016 ÷ (Required rate of return - Constant growth rate)
= 4.0824 ÷ (0.13 - 0.05)
= $51.03
