The new process implementation will require capital expense. There is high risk that the new packaging is not accepted by the customers. There can be quality check required to ensure that new packaging is not compromising quality of the product. There can be demand decline risk as the new packaging is rejected by the customers then the company can loose large amount of revenue. There will be heavy cost incurred for the extension of existing plant but if the implementation and management is poor then the new packaging will not be up to the mark and this may hit the brand reputation.

Equity method journal entries (price greater than book value) An investor purchases a 25% interest in an investee company, and the investor concludes that it can exert significant influence over the investee. The book value of the investee’s Stockholders’ Equity on the acquisition date is $500,000, and the investor purchases its 25% interest for $145,000. The investor is willing to pay the purchase price because the investee owns an unrecorded (internally developed) patent that the investor estimates is worth $80,000. The patent has a remaining useful life of 10 years. Subsequent to the acquisition, the investee reports net income of $100,000, and pays a cash dividend to the investor of $20,000.

The flow rate of customers at a state fair is 100 per hour. The fair is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. How many customers come through the fair during that time?

Answers

Answer:

1,200 customers

Explanation:

Calculation for how many customers come through the fair during that time

Based on the information given about the time the fair is open, we were told that they do open from 8am in the morning to 8pm in the night which means that 8am to 8pm will give us 12 hours

Now let calculate for the numbers of customers that come through the fair during that time Using this formula

Numbers of customers =Flow rate of customers per hr×Numbers of hours

Let plug in the formula

Numbers of customers =100 customers per hr x 12 hrs

Numbers of customers == 1,200 customers

Therefore the numbers of customers that come through the fair during that time will be 1,200 customers.

What is not a potential risk of purchasing a used car?
O used cars can require repairs sooner
O warranties can be very limited
O used cars can have lower initial cost
unexpected issues may arise

Answers

Answer:

used cars can have lower initial cost

Explanation:

Remember, the term risk often refers to an unpleasant or unwelcome event such as a loss arising from a particular action.

Hence, since we are looking for what is not a loss (potential risk) of purchasing a used car, the best option that matches this is that used cars have a lower initial cost which ofcourse can be seen as an advantage.

The fact that "used cars can have lower initial cost" is not a potential risk.

Potential risk in this context refers to various risk or issues that the used car can develop in the course of active use of the purchased car.

Usually, cars which are bought fairly requires more repair and maintenance than newly bought cars

Used cares are very susceptible to break-down at any point in time.

Some others potential risk to this context includes:

They are less reliable because its good moment have been used by previous user.Ignorance of how the car have been managed in past may prove costly ir the routine is not adhered to.A used car usually have a shorter or no warranty.

In conclusion, as this context i concern, the car having a lower initial cost is not a potential risk because the value ofa  used car is expected to drop.

B. The customer takes an active part in the service.
C. Compared to goods, capacity management of services is more difficult to manage.
D. Production and consumption of services occur simultaneously.
E. All of the above are true.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option E: All of the above are true.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the field of marketing the services are considered to be very different from the products in terms of characteristics because the first ones are always unique, intangible and heterogenous. Moreover, they cannot be stored and its production and consumption happens at the same time because when someone demands for a service then that particular job happens, therefore meaning that is being produced and consumed at the same moment. In addition to that, it is quite obvious that when the service is happen the costumer is taking active part in it due to the fact that the service is focus on him and that is why that the client is an input as well.

Charles lackey operates a bakery in Idaho, Falls Because of its excellent product location, demand has increased by 35% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be backed at one time. this new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only production change that will be made in order to meet the increased demand. The bakery currently makes 1,800 loaves per month. Employees are paid $8.00 per hour. In addition to the labor cost, Charles has a constant utility cost per month of $800 and a per loaf ingredient cost of $0.40.
1. Current multi-factor productivity for 640 work hours per month =_____.
2. After increasing the number of work hours to 864 per month, the multi-factor productivity =______.
3. The percentage increase in productivity =______.

Answers

Answer:

1) $0.27 per loaf of bread

2) $0.28 per loaf of bread

3) 3.7%

Explanation:

current production = 1,800 loaves per month

current labor expense = $8 per hour

constant utility cost = $800

ingredients per loaf = $0.40

multi-factor productivity = total output / (labor + materials + overhead)

current multi-factor productivity = 1,800 loaves / ($5,120 + $800 + $720) = $0.27 per loaf of bread

new output level = 1,800 x 1.35 = 2,430 loaves

new multi-factor productivity = 2,430 loaves / ($6,912 + $800 + $972) = $0.28 per loaf of bread

% increase = ($0.28 - $0.27) / $0.27 = 3.7%

Average collection period. 5. Average sale period. 6. Debt-to-equity ratio. 7. Times interest earned.8. Book value per share.

Answers

Answer:

1. Gross margin percentage = 40%

2. Current ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) = 2.45

3. Acid-test ratio = 0.95

4. Average collection period = 26 days

5. Average sale period = 81 days

6. Debt-to-equity ratio = 0.63

7. Times interest earned = 6 times

8. Book value per share = $40 per share

Explanation:

1. Gross margin percentage.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Gross margin percentage = (Gross margin / Sales) * 100 .......... (1)

Where;

Sales = $2,100,000

Gross margin = $840,000

We substitute the values into equation (1) and have:

Gross margin percentage = ($840,000 / $2,100,000) * 100 = 0.40 * 100 = 40%

2. Current ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Current ratio = Total current assets / Current liabilities ............ (2)

Where;

Total current assets = $490,000

Current liabilities = $200,000

We substitute the values into equation (2) and have:

Current ratio = $490,000 / $200,000 = 2.45

3. Acid-test ratio.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Acid-test ratio = (Total current assets – Closing Merchandise Inventory) / Current liabilities ........ (3)

Where;

Total current assets = $490,000

Closing Merchandise Inventory = $300,000

Current liabilities = $200,000

We substitute the values into equation (3) and have:

Acid-test ratio = ($490,000 - $300,000) / $200,000 = $190,000 / $200,000 = 0.95

4. Average collection period.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Average collection period = (Average accounts receivable / Sales) * 365 days …….. (4)

Where;

Average accounts receivable = (Beginning account receivable + Ending account receivable) / 2 = ($140,000 + $160,000) / 2 = $300,000 / 2 = $150,000

Sales = $2,100,000

We substitute the values into equation (4) and have:

Average collection period = ($150,000 / $2,100,000) * 365 = 26 days approximately.

5. Average sale period.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Average sale period = 365 days / Inventory turnover ……………………….. (5)

Where;

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory = Cost of goods sold / [(Opening inventory + Closing inventory) / 2] = 1,260,000 / [($260,000 + $300,000) / 2] = 1,260,000 / [$560,000 / 2] = 1,260,000 / $280,000 = 4.50

We substitute the values into equation (5) and have:

Average sale period = 365 days / 4.50 = 81 days

6. Debt-to-equity ratio.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities / Total stockholders’ equity ……………………. (6)

Where;

Total liabilities = $500,000  

Total stockholders’ equity = $800,000

We substitute the values into equation (6) and have:

Debt-to-equity ratio = $500,000 / $800,000 = 0.63

7. Times interest earned.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Times interest earned = Income before interest and tax / Interest expense ……………….. (7)

Where;

Income before interest and tax = Net operating income = $180,000

Interest expense = $30,000

We substitute the values into equation (7) and have:

Times interest earned = $180,000 / $30,000 = 6 times

8. Book value per share.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Book value per share = Total stockholders’ equity / Number of shares outstanding ……….. (8)

Where;

Total stockholders’ equity = $800,000

Number of shares outstanding = $100,000 / $5 = 20,000 shares

We substitute the values into equation (8) and have:

Book value per share = $800,000 / 20,000 = $40 per share

When financial services companies undertake layoffs, the most valuable employees, whom the companies want to retain, often leave the company voluntarily for new jobs not long after the layoffs. ITEL Financial Services, however, has not lost any of its most valuable employees despite multiple layoffs in the past decade. ITELcredits its success in keeping valuable employees to its high tolerance for risk when employees make investment decisions.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports ITEL’s reasoning as to why the company retains its most valuable employees?
(A) People in the financial services industry are often motivated to change jobs by a significant salary increase.
(B) The way in which layoffs are handled can have a significant upward or downward impact on the morale and company loyalty of the employees who remain.
(C) Layoffs often occur during industry downturns, and it is generally much more difficult to find a new job when the industry is struggling.
(D) It is difficult to develop an objective method or definition for determining who should be considered a very valuable employee.
(E) A risk-intolerant environment impedes the entrepreneurial drive that financial services industry employees feel is a requirement to be successful

Answers

Therefore option E is the correct answer.

The fundamental difference between APT and these other approaches is that no particular mathematical model is assumed in APT. In APT a model is viewed simply as a temporal pattern, whereas in most other approaches parameters of a mathematical model are estimated from data in which variables are measured separately. Moreover, in APT probabilities of temporal patterns are estimated by relative frequency and duration.References:Frick, T. (1990).
