East Valve Distributors distributes industrial valves and control devices. The Eastern control device has an annual demand of 9,375 units and sells for $100 per unit. The cost of ordering is $40 per order and the average carrying cost per unit per year is $0.75. Determine the economic order quantity.
Answer:
1000
Explanation:
Given:
Annual DEMAND, D = 9375
Holding cost, H = 0.75
Cost per order, S = 40
The Economic order quantity :
EOQ = √[(2 * D * S) / H]
EOQ = √[(2 * 9375 * 40) / 0.75]
EOQ = √[(750000) / 0.75]
EOQ = √1000000
EOQ = 1000

Analyze and compare Amazon to Netflix Amazon, Inc. (AMZN) is one of the largest Internet retailers in the world. Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) provides digital streaming and DVD rentals in the United States. Amazon and Netflix compete in streaming and digital services; however, Amazon also sells many other products online. The cash, temporary investments, operating expenses, and depreciation expense from recent financial statements were reported as follows for both companies (in millions):
Amazon Netflix
Balance sheet year:
Cash $19,334 1,468
Short term investment 6647 266
Income Statement:
Operating expense 131,801 8,451
Depreciation expense 8,116 4,925
Required:
a. Determine the days' cash on hand for Amazon and Netflix.
b. Interpret the results
Answer:
a. We have:
Days' cash on hand for Amazon = 77 days
Days' cash on hand for Netflix = 180 days
b. The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales, while Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.
Explanation:
a. Determine the days' cash on hand for Amazon and Netflix.
Days' cash on hand = (Cash + Short term investment) / ((Operating expense - Depreciation expense) / 365) …………… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Days' cash on hand for Amazon = ($19,334 + $6,647) / (($131,801 - $8,116) / 365) = 77 days
Days' cash on hand for Netflix = ($1,468 + $266) / (($8,451 - $4,925) / 365) = 180 days
b. Interpret the results
The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.
However, the results show that Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.

Sauer Food Company has decided to buy a new computer system with an expected life of three years. The cost is $300,000. The company can borrow $300,000 for three years at 12 percent annual interest or for one year at 10 percent annual interest. Assume interest is paid in full at the end of each year.
Required:
a. How much would Sauer Food Company save in interest over the three-year life of the computer system if the one-year loan is utilized and the loan is rolled over (reborrowed) each year at the same 8 percent rate?
b. Compare this to the 10 percent three-year loan. What if interest rates on the 8 percent loan go up to 13 percent in year 2 and 18 percent in year 3?
c. What would the total interest cost compared to the 10 percent, three-year loan?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information;
Suppose the interest rate is constant. then at 10% three-year loan;
The total interest at 10% will be:
= $300000 × 10% × 3years
= $90000
Aso, 8% one year loan with rollover will be total interest at 8%:
= $300000 × 8% × 3 years
= $72000
Savings in interest of Sauer Food Company = $(90000 - 72000)
= $18000
Suppose short-term rates change, then for the first year, we will have:
= 300000 × 0.1
= $30000
second year will be = 300000 × 0.13
=$39000
third year will be= 300000 × 0.18
=$54000
As such, the total rate of the variable loan = $30000 + $39000 + $54000
= $123000
However, the fixed rate at 10% three year loan is equal to = $90000
As such, the additional total interest cost = $(123000 - 90000)
= $33000
bartleby Clayborn Corporation's net cash provided by operating activities was $118,800; its net income was $106,100; its income taxes were $46,900; its capital expenditures were $96,300; and its cash dividends were $30,200. Required: Determine the company's free cash flow. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer: -$7,700
Explanation:
The Free Cash Flow is the amount of after tax income that a company has that can go to both its shareholders and debt holders.
When using cash from operating activities, taxes have already been accounted for so it is calculated as:
= Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital expenditure - Cash Dividends
= 118,800 - 96,300 - 30,200
= -$7,700

Benny is the manager of an office-support business that supplies copying, binding, and other services for local companies. He must replace a worn-out copy machine that is used for black-and-white copying. He is considering two machines, and each of these has a monthly lease cost plus a cost for each page that is copied. Machine 1 has a monthly lease cost of $619, and there is a cost of $0.030 per page copied. Machine 2 has a monthly lease cost of $675, and there is a cost of $0.028 per page copied. Customers are charged $.16 per page copied. If Benny expects to make 105,000 copies per month, what would be the monthly cost for each machine
Answer:
Machine one cost:
= Fixed cost + Variable cost
The Fixed cost is the lease cost and the variable cost is the cost per page copied. The number of pages is 105,000 and the cost per page for machine 1 is $0.030
= 619 + (0.030 * 105,000)
= $3,769 monthly
Machine two cost:
= 675 + (0.028 * 105,000)
= $3,615 monthly
Selected current year company information follows: Net income $ 16,753 Net sales 720,855 Total liabilities, beginning-year 91,932 Total liabilities, end-of-year 111,201 Total stockholders' equity, beginning-year 206,935 Total stockholders' equity, end-of-year 133,851 The total asset turnover is: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
the total asset turnover is 2.65 times
Explanation:
The computation of the total asset turnover is shown below;
As we know that
Total assets turnover is
= Net sales ÷ average of total assets
= $720,855 ÷ ($91,932 + $206,935 + $111,201 + $133,851) ÷ 2
= $720,855 ÷ $271,959.50
= 2.65 times
Hence, the total asset turnover is 2.65 times
Five individuals organized Miami Music Corporation on January 1. At the end of January 31, the following monthly financial data are available:
Total Revenues…………………………....... $131,000
Operating Expenses………………………… 90,500
Cash…………………………………………...........30,800
Accounts Receivable……………………… .25,300
Supplies……………………………………..........40,700
Accounts Payable…………………………... 25,700
Common Stock………………………………...30,600
Required:
a. Did Miami Music Corporation generate a profit? Which financial statement indicates this?
c. Does Miami Music Corporation have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities? Which financial statement indicates this?
Answer:
a. Profit(loss) = Total revenue - Total expenses
= 131,000 - 90,500
= $41,000
The company did in fact generate profit of $41,000 and this can be shown from the Income Statement which is where profit or loss is calculated.
b. A company uses its assets to pay off its liabilities so if the liabilities are less than the assets then the company is capable of paying off its liabilities:
Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies
= 30,800 + 25,300 + 40,700
= $96,800
Liabilities are just the Accounts Payable of $25,700.
Liabilities are less than Assets so Miami Music does indeed have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities.
This information comes from the Balance Sheet which is where assets and liabilities are shown.

Annual net cash-flow = Operating net income + Depreciation
Annual net cash-flow = $67,000 + $40,000
Annual net cash-flow = $107,000
Payback period = Investment / Annual net cash-flow
Payback period = $343,000/$107,000
Payback period = 3.205607476635514
Payback period = 3.21 years.
So, he payback period of the project is closest to 3.21 years.
If MM's proposition II without taxes is true, what is the return to investors who invest $20 in a stock, borrow another $20 to buy a share of stock and pay 6% on the borrowed money if the EPS is $1.50?
a. 6.0%.
b. 9.0%.
c. 12.0%.
d. 15.0%.
Answer:
b. 9.0%.
Explanation:
The computation of the return on the investment is shown below:
Net earning is
= Earning per share × number of shares - interest paid
= (1.50 × 2) - ($20 × 6%)
= $1.80
Now the return on the investment is
= Net earning ÷ own investment
= $1.80 ÷ $20 × 100
= 9%
Hence, the return on the investment is 9%

Unlike the diluted activities which brings about the reduction in the earnings per share, antidilutive maintain or increase the EPS. Therefore, anti-dilutive securities should always be ignored in the computation of diluted EPS.
Santa Corporation issued a bond on January 1 of this year with a face value of $1,000. The bond's coupon rate is 4 percent and interest is paid once a year on December 31. The bond matures in three years. The annual market rate of interest was 5 percent at the time the bond was sold. The following amortization schedule pertains to the bond issued: Cash Paid Interest Expense Amortization Balance January 1, Year 1 $973 December 31, Year 1 $40 $49 $9 982 December 31, Year 2 40 49 9 991 December 31, Year 3 40 49 9 1,000 Required: 1. What was the bond's issue price
Answer:
The price of the bond at issuance is $973.
Explanation:
The selling price of the bond is equal to the present value of all cash flow received from the holding the bonds to maturity, at the issuance time. Thus, these cash flows would be discounted at the annual market rate at the time it is sold which is 5%.
Holding the bond would generate 2 types of cash flows:
+ Annual coupon payment at the end of each year at Face value x coupon rate = 1000 x 4% = $40, for 3 year. Present value of this cash flow = [ 40 / 5%] x [ 1 - (1+5%)^(-3)] = $109
+ Face value payback at the end of 3 year whose present value = 1000 / 1.05^3 = $864
=> Selling price = 109 + 864 = $973.

While EBl's cost of goods sold is not expected to change from last year's level, the value of raw materials has dropped to $95,000; work-in-process to $26,000; and finished goods to $15,800. Assuming 52 business weeks per year, express EBl's current total inventory level in weeks of supply and inventory turns.
Answer:
EBI Solar
a. Weeks of supply = 14.05 weeks
b. Inventory turnover = 20.5x
Weeks of supply = 2.5 weeks
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Inventory turnover = 3.7 x
Cost of goods sold = $2.8 million
Average inventory = $756,757 ($2,800,000/3.7)
Current value of inventory:
Raw materials = $95,000
Work-in-process 26,000
Finished goods 15,800
Total = $136,800
a. Weeks of supply = 14.05 weeks (52/3.7)
b. Inventory turnover = 20.5x ($2,800,000/$136,800)
Weeks of supply = 2.5 weeks (52/20.5)
Reasons why South African post office taking private courier companies to court
Answer:
Explanation:
As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.
PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.
The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.
Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.
“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.
“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.

Chad, who owns the only coffee shop in Rivercity, learns that Jose is about to open a competing coffee shop in the same small town, just a few blocks from Chad's. Chad offers Jose $10,000 in return for Jose's promise not to open a coffee shop in the Rivercity area for six months. Jose accepts the $10,000 but goes ahead with his plans, even though he had agreed not to do so. When Jose opens his coffee shop for business, Chad sues to enjoin Jose's continued operation or to recover the $10,000

On January 1, the total market value of the Tysseland Company was $60 million. During the year, the company plans to raise and invest $30 million in new projects. The firm's present market value capital structure, shown below, is considered to be optimal. Assume that there is no short-term debt.
Debt $30,000,000
Common equity 30,000,000
Total capital $60,000,000
New bonds will have an 10% coupon rate, and they will be sold at par. Common stock is currently selling at $30 a share. The stockholders' required rate of return is estimated to be 12%, consisting of a dividend yield of 4% and an expected constant growth rate of 8%. (The next expected dividend is $1.20, so $1.20/$30 = 4%). The marginal corporate tax rate is 30%. In order to maintain the present capital structure, how much of the new investment must be financed by common equity?
Assuming there is sufficient cash flow such that Tysseland can maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, what is its WACC?
Suppose now that there is not enough internal cash flow and the firm must issue new shares of stock. Qualitatively speaking, what will happen to the WACC?
I. rs and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
II. rs and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.
III. rs will increase and the WACC will decrease due to the flotation costs of new equity.
IV. rs will decrease and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
V. rs and the WACC will not be affected by flotation costs of new equity.
Answer:
Tysseland Company
1. In order to maintain the present capital structure, the new investment must be financed by common equity to the tune of $15 million (50% of $30 million).
2. Assuming there is sufficient cash flow such that Tysseland can maintain its target capital structure without issuing additional shares of equity, its WACC = 9.5%
3. IV. rs will decrease and the WACC will increase due to the flotation costs of new equity.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total market capitalization = $60 million
Debt Common Equity Total
Market value $30,000,000 $30,000,000 $60,000,000
Weight 50% 50% 100%
New financing 15,000,000 15,000,000 30,000,000
New market cap. $45,000,000 $45,000,000 $90,000,000
Coupon rate of new bonds issued at par = 10%
Selling price of common stock = $30 per share
Stock's required rate of return = 12%
Estimated Dividend yield = 4%
Expected constant growth rate = 8%
Expected dividend per share = $1.20 ($30 * 4%)
Corporate tax rate = 30%
Cost of Equity = the stockholders' required rate of return = 12% or
= (Dividend/Price) + g (growth rate)
= ($1.20/$30) + 0.08
= 12%
After-Tax Cost of Debt = Before Tax Cost of Debt × (1-Tax Rate)
10 × (1 - 0.3)= 7%
WACC = (Weight of Equity × Cost of Equity) + (Weight of Debt × After Tax Cost of Debt)
(0.5 × 12%) + (0.5 × 7%) = 9.5%
In Myanmar, six laborers, each making the equivalent of $3.00 per day, can produce 40 units per day. In China, ten laborers, each making the equivalent of $2.00 per day, can produce 45 units. In Billings, Montana, two laborers, each making $60.00 per day, can make 100 units. Based on labor cost per unit only, the most economical location to produce the item is
Answer:
China
Explanation:
Calculation to determine which location would be most economical to produce the item
Using this formula
LaborCost per Unit=Labor Cost per Day/Production(units per day)
Let plug in the formula
Myanmar = 6 Laborers x $3/day = $18/day
Myanmar=$18/day/ 40 units
Myanmar= $0.45/unit
China = 10 Laborers x $2/day = $20/day
China= $20/day/ 45 units
China= $0.444/unit
Montana = 2 Laborers x $60/day = $120/day
Montana= $120/day/100 units
Montana = $1.20/unit
Therefore the location that would be most economical to produce the item is CHINA
Delta airlines is consider purchase of two alternative planes. Plane A has an expected life of 5 years, will cost $100 million and will produce net cash flow of $30 million per year. Plane B has a life of 10 years, will cost $132 million, and will produce net cash flows of $25 million per year. Delta plans to serve the route for only 10 years. Delta's cost of capital is 12% and the inflation is expected to be zero. what is the equivalent annual annuity of plane A
Answer:
$2.26 million
Explanation:
Plane A:
Initial outlay = $100 million
Annual cash flows = $30 million
Expected life = 5 years
Cost of capital = 12%
EAW = (r x NPV) / [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ]
Using a financial calculator: NPV = $8.14 million
EAW = (12% x $8.14) / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻⁵] = $0.9768 / 0.432573 = $2.2581 ≈ $2.26 million
