Answer: Dưới nhu cầu thưởng thức các loại thực phẩm đa dạng, tươi ngon vào bất kỳ thời điểm nào trong năm, chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm đã phải mở rộng hơn nhiều về mặt địa lý và buộc phải thông qua nhiều nhà cung cấp hơn. Điều này đã làm cho nghiệp vụ quản lý chuỗi cung ứng ngành thực phẩm trở nên cồng kềnh và phức tạp hơn bao giờ hết. Các nhà sản xuất, nhà phân phối hay các nhà cung cấp dịch vụ logistics theo đó cũng phải chịu những áp lực không nhỏ để đưa các sản phẩm thực phẩm ra thị trường một cách nhanh chóng, an toàn và trong điều kiện tốt nhất có thể. Một chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm điển hình bao gồm sáu giai đoạn:
1. Tìm nguồn cung cấp nguyên liệu thô
2. Sản xuất
3. Chế biến và đóng gói
4. Lưu trữ
5. Phân phối bán buôn
6.Phân phối bán lẻ
Explanation:
1. Bên cạnh đó mọi vấn đề liên quan đến giá trị sản xuất đều gặp những khó khăn nhất định, một trong những vấn đề mà mọi doanh nghiệp hay cá nhân tham gia vào chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm đều phải lo ngại về vấn đề ( Tìm nguồn cung cấp nguyên liệu thô). Vấn đề truy xuất và đảm bảo nguồn thực phẩm sạch là vấn đề cần cân nhắc đầu tiên, đi đôi đó là phải đảm bảo phù hợp với mô hình kinh doanh của doanh nghiệp, phù hợp với điều kiện kinh tế.
May mắn thay chúng ta đang sống ở thời đại 4.0 việc truy xuất nguồn gốc nguyên liệu đã không còn nhiều thách thách bởi việc áp dụng công nghệ vào việc truy xuất nguyên liệu rất dễ dàng ví dụ thông qua mã code, mã QR... bằng vài một thao tác đơn giản cũng có thể truy xuất nguồn gốc nguyên liệu nhanh, hiệu quả, tiết kiết chi phí đi lại xác minh. Vấn đề thứ hai là đảm bảo nguồn nguyên liệu thô được xử lý an toàn đã và đang ngày càng không còn là thách thức. Bởi việc ứng dụng công nghệ vào xử lý nguyên liệu thô vừa nhanh chóng, chính xác hiệu quả, ví dụ ngay từ khâu thu hoạch nguyên liệu thô các may móc đã hỗ trợ giúp đảm bảo nguồn nguyên liệu đầu vào đều và chính xác. Các khâu gieo trồng hay xử lý cũng được giúp ngắn và khoa học nhờ có ứng dụng công nghệ, khoa học. Nhưng đi bên cạnh là chi phí cao để đảm bảo chất lượng.
Bên cạnh đó việc xây dựng một mạng lưới về chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm trong kinh doanh là một việc vô cùng quan trọng, quyết định sự phát triển của cả doanh nghiệp. Mặc dù là một loại công nghệ vẫn chưa được sử dụng rộng rãi trong ngành công nghiệp thực phẩm, nhưng blockchain được nhiều lãnh đạo coi là một công nghệ đầy hứa hẹn cho phép truy xuất nguồn gốc trong chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm.
Công nghệ blockchain là một nền tảng số chung, nơi người dùng có thể lưu trữ và chia sẻ thông tin qua một mạng lưới tổng. Hệ thống này cho phép người dùng xem tất cả các giao dịch cùng một thời điểm trong thời gian thực. Một trong những lợi thế chính của blockchain là một khi thông tin được thêm vào hệ thống, thông tin đó sẽ được phân phối nội bộ trong mạng lưới và được lưu trữ cố định trong đó vĩnh viễn. Thông tin do vậy sẽ không thể bị tấn công, thao túng hoặc bị hư hại bởi bất kỳ cách nào.
2. Tiếp đó là thách thức chi phí vận hành chuỗi cung ứng tăng cao
Điều hành một chuỗi cung ứng thực phẩm sẽ tiêu tốn nhiều loại chi phí, một số chi phí quan trọng bao gồm: Chi phí điện và nhiên liệu, Chi phí logistics, vận chuyển hàng hóa , Chi phí nhân công , Chi phí đầu tư vào công nghệ mới
Những chi phí này rất đáng kể, do vậy, việc theo dõi chi phí hoạt động thường xuyên là một thách thức cho các doanh nghiệp ngành thực phẩm.
Cho nên giải pháp hữu hiệu nhất đó là Bước đầu tiên để kiểm soát chi phí là phải hiểu rõ các loại chi phí hiện có trong hoạt động doanh nghiệp. Trong các chuỗi cung ứng đơn giản, điều này có thể được thực hiện bằng các công cụ bảng tính. Nhưng ở nếu chuỗi cung ứng ngày càng trở nên phức tạp, doanh nghiệp sẽ cần một giải pháp công nghệ. Doanh nghiệp nên nâng cấp công nghệ của mình, những công việc như gửi tệp bảng tính qua email hay gọi điện báo tin cần được loại bỏ.
Một lưu ý khác là nếu các lãnh đạo quá quan tâm đến việc tiết kiệm chi phí thì tính hiệu quả và sự phát triển lâu dài của doanh nghiệp có thể bị kìm hãm. Một giải pháp công nghệ “đắt tiền”, ví dụ đó là đẩy mạnh mảng truyền trông marketing sản phảm, xâm nhập thị trường khôn ngoan bằng công nghệ mới, mặt hàng mới tác dụng mới, có thể mang lại lợi tức đầu tư đáng kể và tiết kiệm rất nhiều loại chi phí về lâu dài. Từ đó, doanh nghiệp vận hành hiệu quả và trở nên hấp dẫn hơn trong mắt các khách hàng.
Trên đây là những vấn đề cơ bản mà mình nghĩ sẽ giúp ích cho bạn từ kinh nghiệp của bản thân cũng như những kinh nghiệm mà mình học hỏi được. Mong rằng sẽ giúp ích cho bạn. Mình chỉ muốn khuyên là hãy trở thành nhà đầu tư, kinh doanh khôn ngoan, sáng tạo.

Standard and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 1,000 units of product were as follows:
Actual costs 1,550 lbs. at $9.10
Standard costs 1,600 lbs. at $9.00
Determine the (a) quantity variance, (b) price variance, and (c) total direct materials cost variance. Enter favorable variances as negative numbers.
a. Quantity variance $______
b. Price variance $______
c. Total direct materials cost variance
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a.
Materials quantity variance is
= (Actual quantity used × Standard price) - (Standard quantity allowed × Standard Price)]
= (1550 × 9.00) - (1600 × 9.00)
= $(450.00)
= $450 favorable
b.
Direct materials price variance is
Materials Price Variance = (Actual quantity purchased × Actual price) - (Actual quantity purchased × Standard price)
= (1550 × 9.10) - (1550 ×$9.00)
= $155
= $155 unfavorable
c.
Total direct materials cost variance is
= Materials quantity variance + Direct materials price variance
= -$450 + $155
= -$295
= $295 Favorable

When shares are sold or issued, they increase the stockholders equity as people buy these shares. They also increase assets because cash comes into the company when the shares are sold. This is why the Issuing of preference and common stock as well as the sale of Treasury shares had the same effects.
When cash dividends are declared, they become a liability that is owed to equity holders.
When these dividends are then paid, they remove the liability but reduce assets as cash is used to pay the dividends.
100% stock dividend reduces retained earnings but increases equity so stockholders equity does not change.

Congratulations! Today is your 20th birthday, but you are starting with nothing in the bank. You just started working full-time, earning $50,000 per year. Your goal is to have $5 million by your 60th birthday (i.e., 40 years from today). Your employer offers a 401(k) plan (contributions by you are tax deductible, growth is tax deferred), and within that plan you choose to invest in an extreme low-cost S&P 500 index mutual fund (like ones offered by Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, etc.). The long-term expected return on the S&P 500 index mutual fund is 10% per year. Your employer pays you monthly.
Required:
a. Ignoring taxes, if the employer offers no match on your contributions, how much would you need to save every month to reach your goal?
b. Ignoring taxes, if the employer offers a 10% match on your contributions, how much would you need to save every month on top of your match to reach your goal?
c. Assume your Federal marginal tax rate is 24% and State marginal tax rate is 6%. What is the answer to question (b) on an after-tax basis (i.e., how much do you have to contribute every month after the employer match and net of tax savings)?
Answer:
A) $790.63
B) $718.75
C) $503.13
Explanation:
a. Interest rate = 10%, monthly rate = 10%/12 = 0.10/12
Number of years = 60-20 = 40 years = 40*12 = 480 months
Goal = FV = 5,000,000
The monthly savings needed if employers offers no match =PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv) =PMT(0.10/12,480,0,5000000)
= $790.63
b. If employer offers a 10% match.
Then monthly savings needed
= 790.63/1.10
= 718.75
Monthly savings needed with 10% match by employer
= $718.75
c. Tax savings are 24%+6% = 30%.
So on the contribution of 718.75, you save a 30% tax. So. tax savings = 718.75*0.30 = $ 215.63
So, monthly contribution taking into account tax savings and employer match
= 718.75 -215.62
= $503.13

Materials Variances North Wind manufactures decorative weather vanes that have a standard materials cost of two pounds of raw materials at $1.50 per pound. During September 5,000 pounds of raw materials costing $1.75 per pound were used in making 2,400 weather vanes. Determine the materials price and quantity variance
Answer:
Material price variance = 1250
Quantity variance = 300
Explanation:
Actual price of raw material = $1.75
Standard price = $1.50
Actual quantity = $5000
Material price variance = [Actual price - Standard price] x Actual quantity
Material price variance = [1.75 - 1.50] x 5000
Material price variance = 1250
Quantity variance = [Actual quantity - Standard quantity] x Standard price
Quantity variance = [5000 - 2400 x 2] x 1.50
Quantity variance = 300
Answer:
Material price variance $1,250
Material quantity variance $300
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the materials price and quantity variance
MATERIAL PRICE VARIANCE
Using this formula
Material price variance=(AP-SP)*AQ
Let plug in the formula
Material price variance=($1.75-$1.50)*5,000
Material price variance=$0.25*5,000
Material price variance=$1,250
Therefore Material price variance is $1,250
MATERIAL QUANTITY VARIANCE
Using this formula
Material quantity variance=(AQ-SQ)*SP
Let plug in the formula
Material quantity variance=(5,000-2*2,400)*$1.50
Material quantity variance=(5,000-4,800)*$1.50
Material quantity variance=200*$1.50
Material quantity variance=$300
Therefore Material quantity variance is $300
Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5 percent per year thereafter.
If the required return on this stock is 15 percent, what is the current share price?
Answer:
$51.25
Explanation:
P9 = Next dividend / Required rate r - Growth rate g
P9 = $15 / 14% - 5%
P9 = $15 / 9%
P9 = $166.67
Po = P9 / (1 - Required rate of return)^9
Po = $166.67 / (1 + 0.14)^9
Po = $166.67 / 3.2519
Po = $51.25
So, the current stock price is $51.25.

Suppose the demand function (D) for golf clubs is: Q = 240-1.00P, where P is the price paid by consumers in dollars per club and Q is the quantity demanded in thousands.
Suppose the supply curve (S) for golf clubs is estimated to be: Q = 1.00P.
Calculate the equilibrium price for golf clubs and the equilibrium quantity sold.
The equilibrium price is $____ per club, and the equilibrium quantity is ____ thousand clubs.
Suppose instead that golf club producers agree to charge a price of $ per club. This would result in a surplus of___thousand clubs
Solution :
According to the theory of demand and supply, the equilibrium price and the quantity is established where both the demand and supply curves intersect.
From the graph, we can see that the point of equilibrium is at the intersection of D and S.
At this point, mathematically, D = S. In order to determine the price and quantity which exists at this point, we need to equate the demand as well as supply functions to calculate the equilibrium values.
∵ D is equal to S, we have
[tex]$240-1.00P=1.00P$[/tex]
[tex]240=2P[/tex]
[tex]120=P[/tex]
Now substituting this value of the equilibrium price in to any of the functions, we get the equilibrium quantity at this price.
[tex]$Q=240-1.00P$[/tex]
[tex]$Q=240-1.00(120)$[/tex]
[tex]$Q=240-120$[/tex]
[tex]$Q=120$[/tex]
This is the equilibrium quantity. At this point, equilibrium price as well as the quantity is the same. Let the price of the golf club increases from $120 to $140. So substituting the value to the function above to determine the new quantity.
[tex]$Q = 240-1.00(140)$[/tex]
= 100
Therefore, when the demanded quantity decreases from 120 thousand clubs to 100 thousand clubs. This increases the price and decreases the quantity as the supply curve moved to the left. The demand remains constant.

The journal entry to record issuance of the stock in exchange for the land and building is given below:
Land $237,000
Building $368,000

Biden Resorts Company currently has 0.2 million common shares of stock outstanding and the stock has a beta of 2.2. It also has $1 million face value of bonds that have five years remaining to maturity and 8 percent coupon with semi-annual payments, and are priced to yield 13.65 percent. If Biden issues up to $2.5 million of new bonds, the bonds will be priced at par and have a yield of 13.65 percent; if it issues bonds beyond $2.5 million, the expected yield on the entire issuance will be 16 percent. Biden has learned that it can issue new common stock at $10 a share. The current
risk-free rate of interest is 3 percent and the expected market return is 10 percent. Biden's marginal tax rate is 30 percent. If Biden raises $7.5 million of new capital while maintaining the same debtto-equity ratio, its weighted average cost of capital is?
Answer:
Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 15.87%.
Explanation:
We have to find current weights,
Value of equity = Shares x Share price = 0.2 x 10 = $2 million
Face Value of Bonds FV = $1 million
Semi annual coupon P = 1 x 8% / 2 = $0.04 million
Number of coupons remaining n = 5 x 2 = 10
Semi annual yield r = 13.65% / 2 = 6.825%
Value of Debt = Px [1 - (1 + r)-n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
= 0.04 x [1 - (1 + 0.06825)-10] / 0.06825 + 1 / (1 + 0.06825)10
= $0.8 million
Total Value = 2 + 0.8 = $2.8 million
Weight of Debt = 0.8 / 2.8 = 28.57%
Weight of Equity = 2 / 2.8 = 71.45%
Amount of Debt to be raised = Weight of debt x Capital
= 0.2857 x 7.5
= $2.14 million
Since the amount of debt to be raised is less than $2.5 million, the yield will be 13.65%
Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
= 3% + 2.2 x (10 - 3)
= 18.4%
The weighted average cost of capital:-
WACC = Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x (1 -Tax Rate) + Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity
= 0.2857 x 13.65% x (1 - 0.3) + 0.7145 x 18.4%
= 15.87%

Assume that the companies mar is a real 12% per year and the inflation rate is 3% per year. If the new process will cost $3.7 million now, how much must be saved each year to recover the investment in 5 years? a. $2,103,784.b. $603,784.c. $1,103,784.d. $1,603,784.
Answer:
The correct option is c. $1,103,784.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or cost of the new process = $3.7 million = $3,700,000
P = Annual savings to recover the investment in 5 years = ?
r = interest rate = MARR + Inflation rate = 12% + 3% = 15%, or 0.15
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:
$3,700,000 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15)
$3,700,000 = P * 3.3521550980114
P = $3,700,000 / 3.3521550980114
P = $1,103,768
From the options, the closet figure to $1,103,768 is c. $1,103,784. The difference is due the difference I rounding. Therefore, the correct option is c. $1,103,784. That is, the amount that must be saved each year to recover the investment in 5 years is $1,103,784.
