WatchNU is a company that designs and manufacturers drones for military use. The supply manager is getting ready to renegotiate the contract with the security service provider that it uses for its offices and manufacturing plant. Three suppliers responded to the RFP for security services for the next three years. The current security services provider, SecureIT quoted $945,000 per year. Two suppliers that have not been used by WatchNU in the past quoted $1,048,000 and $1,056,000 respectively. The supply manager is also analyzing the costs associated with insourcing security services rather than using a supplier as a way to reduce costs and provide greater control over security. The salary and benefits for a full-time security services manager is estimated to be $99,000. Other fixed costs are estimated to be $29,000/year. Three security guards are needed 24 hours/day, 365 days per year. The salary and benefits for the security guards is $34/hour.
Required:
What are the costs to insource the security services?
Answer:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the costs to insource the security services
VARIABLE COST
Using this formula
Variable cost =Total Quantity of Output x Variable Cost Per Unit
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost =3* ($34/hour x 24 hours/day x 365 days per year)
Variable cost = $893,520
FIXED COST
Using this formula
Fixed cost=Salary and Benefits for a full time security service manager+Other Fixed Costs
Let plug in the formula
Fixed cost=($99,000) + ($29,000)
Fixed cost= $128,000
TOTAL COST
Using this formula
Total Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost=($893,520) + ($128,000)
Total Cost= $1,021,520
Therefore the costs to insource the security services will be:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520

In the cost reconciliation report under the FIFO method, the costs to be accounted for equals the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost of units transferred out.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
Cost Reconciliation Report under FIFO Method:
The costs to be accounted for equals the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost of units transferred out.
b. False
Explanation:
Instead, the costs to be accounted for under the FIFO method in the cost reconciliation report are equal to the cost of the beginning work in process inventory plus the cost of units started and completed during the period. It is under the weighted-average method that the costs to be accounted for in the cost reconciliation report equal the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost of units transferred out.
You took ACC111 where the Owner's Equity section consisted of Capital and Owner's Withdrawals. Now that you've seen the corporate structure of the Owner's Equity section, how do the individual items in the Sole Proprietor's Equity section translate to the Corporate Equity section? For example, Revenues are closed out into Capital for Sole Proprietor, Where does it go for Corporate?
Answer:
Revenues are closed out to Equity (Retained Earnings) for Corporate.
Explanation:
Actually, for both Sole Proprietor and Corporate, the account that is closed out to Capital or Equity is the difference between the Revenue and the Expenses for the accounting period. This is more specifically referred to as Net Income. This is the bottom-line profit, which is available for distribution to the owners of the entity in the form of capital withdrawals for Sole Proprietorships and dividends for Corporate entities.
An Engel curve:________.
A. slopes upward for normal goods and downward for inferior goods.
B. slopes upward for inferior goods and downward for normal goods.
C. slopes downward for both normal and inferior goods.
D. slopes upward for both normal and inferior goods.
Answer:
A. slopes upward for normal goods and downward for inferior goods.
Explanation:
In the case of Engle curve it plots the relationship between income and demand for a good.
In the case of the normal goods, as the income rises the demand also rises while on the other hand in the case of inferior goods, the income rises the demand false
So it sloped upward for the normal goods and slop downwards for the inferior goods
If a well-diversified portfolio of stocks has an expected return of 15% when the expected return on the market portfolio is 10%, then:_____
a. Treasury bills are offering a 7% yield.
b. The portfolio beta is greater than 1.0.
c. The portfolio beta equals 1.67.
d. The investor's portfolio contains many defensive stocks.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
Market beta is represented by 1. If a portfolio has a beta that is higher than 1, it means that it is more risky than the market portfolio and investors would demand a higher return than the market portfolio
River co. just paid a dividend of $2 per share out of earnings of $4 per share. If its book value per share is $25 and its stock is currently selling for $40 per share, calculate the required rate of return on the stock.
Answer:
13.4%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the required rate of return on the stock.
First step
g = (1 - 0.5)(4/25)
g = 0.08*100
g = 8%
Now let determine the required rate of return
r = [(2 * 1.08)/40] + 0.08
r= 13.4%
Therefore the required rate of return on the stock is 13.4%
Japanese officials are considering a new tariff on imported pork products from the United States in an attempt to reduce Japan’s reliance on U.S. pork. Due to political pressure, the U.S. International Trade Representative’s (ITR) office is also considering a new tariff on imported steel from Japan. Officials in both Japan and the U.S. must assess the social welfare ramifications of their tariff decisions. Reports from a reliable think-tank indicate the following: If neither country imposes a new tariff, social welfare in Japan’s economy will remain at $4.8 billion and social welfare in the United States will remain at $44 billion. If both countries impose a new tariff, welfare in the United States declines 0.5 percent to $43.78 billion and welfare in Japan declines by 0.8 percent to $4.76 billion. If Japan does not impose a tariff but the United States does, projected welfare in Japan is $4.66 billion while welfare in the United States is $44.2 billion. Finally, if the U.S. does not impose a tariff but Japan does, welfare is projected at $43.66 billion in the United States and $4.85 billion in Japan. Determine the Nash equilibrium outcome when policy makers in the two countries simultaneously but independently make tariff decisions in a myopic (one-shot) setting. Is it possible for the two countries to improve their social welfare by "agreeing" to different strategies? Explain
Answer:
Explanation:
The following is the Nash equilibrium between the United States and the Japanese Nation, as well as the payoff:
Japanese Nation
Tariff (billion) No Tariff (billion)
Tariff $43.78 , $4.76 $44.2 , $4.66
United States
No Tariff $43.66 , $4.85 $44 , $4.8
From the Nash equilibrium; the United States implements Tariffs and the Japanese Nation also implements Tariff with the outcome ($43.78, $4.76) as the dominant strategy each for the United States and Japanese Nation:
(to implement tariff).
By agreeing to adopt No tariff, the two nations may be able to increase their social welfare.
On the other hand, the decision to implement no tariffs relies on the event being performed indefinitely, thereby utilizing trigger methods when the interest rate is very low.
An investor, who had $75,000 to contribute, was choosing between a boutique and a local shoe shop. After careful deliberation, the investor chose the boutique. In the first year, the boutique generated enough profit to pay the investor $15,000 (an agreed percentage of profits to be paid to the investor). The investor found out that if he had invested in the local shoe shop he would have received $9,000 (an agreed percentage of profits to be paid to the investor).
The investor's economic profit was:________
Answer:
$6000
Explanation:
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
accounting profit = 15,000
Implicit cost = 9000
15,000 - 9000 = $6000
In its 2001 annual report, investors of Adelphia Communications were startled to find a footnote to its financial statements that reported the company had guaranteed as much as $2.7 billion in loans to a private entity owned by CEO John Rigas and his family. As a result of the footnote, Adelphia lost more than 50 percent of its market value in little more than a week.
Required:
Explain why you think the market value of Adelphia fell so dramatically with the footnote disclosure that the company had guaranteed loans to an entity owned by the company's CEO and his family
Answer:
Explanation:
The transaction of $2.7 billion as a loan lender to a private corporation controlled by the CEO John Rigas plus his family suggests a significant likelihood of asset theft and fraudulent activity. The misappropriation of assets is a sign of a company's financial instability. It implies that people in charge of administration are not using the firm's profits to maximize shareholders' wealth, but rather are advancing the interests of only one shareholder.
As soon as the news reaches the investors, a reasonable investor would sell his stock holdings and divest from the firm. As a result of the bulk of investors' divestment, stock prices have dropped by more than 50% in a week in Adelphia Communications.
Question 9 Suppose money invested in a hedge fund earns 1% per trading day. There are 250 trading days per year. What will be your annual return on $100 invested in the fund if the manager allows you to reinvest in the fund the 1% you earn each day
Answer:
1103.22%
Explanation:
The value of the investment at the end of the year assuming 250 trading days per year can be computed the future value formula provided below:
FV=PV*(1+daily return)^n
PV=initial investment=$100
daily return=reinvestment rate=1%
n=number of trading days in a year=250
FV=$100*(1+1%)^250
FV=$ 1,203.22
Annual return=( 1,203.22/$100)-1
Annual return=1103.22%
With the CEO and driver of the company—Howard Schultz—stepping down as the company’s unquestioned leader, do you expect Starbucks to change its foreign market entry strategy in any way?
Answer:
The short answer to that is No, Starbucks will not change its foreign market entry strategy.
Explanation:
The reasons are as follows:
did Howard Schultz lose his shares when he stepped down? This is highly unlikely and according to the rules of corporate governance may depend on his contract. So stepping down as the chairman does not necessarily translate to losing control. Corporations such as Starbucks: don't just up and change direction. Strategies are usually vetted by the board of directors. Whoever the majority shareholder is (corporate person or individual) will always have a say regarding the expansion of the business. Howard Schultz has stepped down in 2018. At that time, Starbucks had a total of 28,000 stores in 77 countries. Currently, there are 15,000 in 50 countries. This reduction didn't happen because Howard stepped down but because of the recent pandemic which hit the globe in 2020.Cheers

Suppose that an economy produces 500 units of output. It takes 10 units of labor at $15 a unit and 4 units of capital at $50 a unit to produce this amount of output. The per unit cost of production is:________.A. $1.42B. $1.24C. $0.70D. $0.40
Answer:
Option A is correct.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
Total number of units produces = 500 units
Number of labour = 10
Labour cost = $15 per unit
Total capital = 4 units
Cost of capital = $50 per unit
Total cost = 10 x 15 + 4 x 50 = 350
Per unit cost = 500 / 350 = 1.42
Thus option A is correct.

Fill in the missing numbers in the following income statement:
Sales $645,000
Costs 346,500
Depreciation 97,200
EBIT $
Taxes (35%)
Net income $
Required:
a. What is the OCF?
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation
= $645,000 - $346,500 - $97,200
= $201,300
Taxes = EBIT × 35%
= $201,300 × 35%
= $70,455
Net income = EBIT - Taxes
= $201,300 - $70,455
= $130,845
1. OCF
= Net income + Depreciation
= $130,845 + $97,200
= $228,045
2. Depreciation tax shield
= Depreciation × Tax rate
=$97,200 × 35%
= $34,020

The annual commissions per salesperson employed by a manufacturer of light machinery averaged $40,000 with a standard deviation of $5,000. What percent of the sales persons earn between $32,000 and $42,000?
A) 60.06%.
B) 39.94%.
C) 34.13%.
D) 81.66%.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
From the given information;
The required probability needed to carry out is P(32000<X<42000);
Given that:
mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 40000
standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 5000
Using the standard normal distribution;
[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma} <Z< \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma})[/tex]
[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( \dfrac{32000 - 40000}{5000} <Z< \dfrac{42000 - 40000}{5000})[/tex]
[tex]P(32000 <X<42000) = ( -1.6<Z<0.4)[/tex]
Here, the region of the area lies between -1.60 and 0.40
∴
P(320000 < X < 40000) = P(Z<0.40) - P(Z< -0.40)
From Z tables;
P(320000 < X < 40000) = 0.6554 -0.0548
P(320000 < X < 40000) = 0.6006
P(320000 < X < 40000) = 60.06%

Interest earned = Average monthly balance * interest rate * Remaining months
= 600 * 4% * (12 - 5 months) / 12 months
= 600 * 4% * 7/12
= $14
Net Annual cost:
= 100 - 14
= $86
Ken's home has a replacement value of $200,000. Ken insured the home for $150,000 under an unendorsed Homeowners 3 policy. The roof of Ken's home was damaged by a windstorm. The replacement cost of the damaged roof is $16,000. The actual cash value of the loss is $12,000. How much will Ken receive from his insurer to settle this claim
Answer: $15,000
Explanation:
Using a Homeowners 3 policy, Ken will get the higher amount out of two amounts which are:
The actual cash value of the damaged area. An amount calculated as follows:= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
The actual cash value is $12,000
The second amount is:
= (Amount of Insurance cover on home / 80% of Replacement Cost) * Cost of Repair to damaged area.
= 150,000 / (80% * 200,000) * 16,000
= 0.9375 * 16,000
= $15,000
Ken will receive the higher amount of $15,000.
