The project has been challenging to manage. Everyone has been on edge due to pressure to complete the project on time. Unfortunately, the tension has grown to the point where team meetings have become shouting matches and little work is accomplished during the meetings. One team member asks to be excused from future team meetings, as all the shouting upsets him. Meanwhile, the sponsor has asked to attend team meetings in order to better understand how the project is going and the issues involved in completing the project, and the customer has started discussions about adding scope to the project. In this situation, it would be BEST for the project manager to:
Answer: C. Involve the team in creating ground rules for the meetings.
Explanation:
The meetings have seemingly descended into anarchy and as such needs to be controlled in an orderly manner to make any sort of progress. One way this can be done is through the setting of ground rules. These rules need to be accepted and inclusive of people's qualms or else the arguments will continue.
When the rules are made therefore, the inputs of the entire team should be taken into consideration and this is what the Project manager needs to do. Setting all inclusive rules also helps the team understand each other better during the discussions are point of views will be seen and understood better.

Explanation:
A project has an initial cost of $60,000, expected net cash inflows of $14,000 per year for 7 years, and a cost of capital of 13%. What is the project's discounted payback period
Answer:
Discounted payback period = 6.68 years
Explanation:
Year Cash inflow$ Discounted cash Cumulative discounted
inflow$ cash inflow$
1 14,000 12,389 12,389
2 14,000 10,964 23,353
3 14,000 9,703 33,056
4 14,000 8,586 41,643
5 14,000 7,599 49,241
6 14,000 6,724 55,966
7 14,000 5,951 61,917
Discounted cash inflow is calculated by discounting cash inflow at 13%. For example, discounted cash-flow in year 1 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^1 = 12,389.
Similarly, discounted cash-flow in year 2 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^2 = 10,964. And so on.
Cumulative cash-flows are sum of all cashflows till that year. For example, year 2 cumulative cashflow = 12,389 + 10,964 = 23,353.
Similarly, year 3 cumulative cash-flow = 23,353 + 9,703 = 33,056.
This cumulative cash-flow crosses 60,000 in year 7, so discounted payback period = 6 + (60,000-55,966) / 5,951
Discounted payback period = 6.68 years
The failure to record a purchase of mer chandise on account even though the goods are properly included in the physical inven tory results in
Answer: D. an understatement of expenses and an overstatement of owners' equity
Explanation:
If a purchase of merchandise was not recorded, it would mean that Purchases being an expense that contributes to the Cost of Goods sold would be understated.
This understatement would mean that the the Net income is overstated because the purchase expenses were never deducted from it. Net Income is part of owners' equity so if it is overstated, so is owners' equity .

Which of the following ratios indicates the percentage of each sales dollar that is available to cover fixed costs and to provide a profit?
A. Margin of safety ratio
B. Costs and expenses ratio
C. Profit ratio
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: Margin of safety ratio.
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Margin of Safety", in the field of business and accounting, is refered to a ratio whose main purpose is to establish the point in where the company knows that it has to sale obligately due to the fact that at that point the company can be sure that they have covered the fixed costs of it and after that point every sale will became a profit for the company. So that is why that this ratio indicates the percentage of each sales dollar that is available to cover those costs.
Break-even EBIT (with and without taxes). Alpha Company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a levered firm with $ million of debt financing at % interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $ million and shares outstanding. The levered firm will have shares outstanding. a. Find the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes. b. Find the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is %. c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha Company? a. What is the break-even EBIT for Alpha Company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes?
Complete Question:
Alpha company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a leverages firm with $2 million of debt financing at 8% interest. The all-equity firm will have a value of $4 million and 400,000 shares outstanding. The leveraged firm will have 200,000 shares outstanding.
a. Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if there are no corporate taxes.
b.Find the break even EBIT for Alpha company using EPS if the corporate tax rate is 30%
c. What do you notice about these two break-even EBITs for Alpha company?
Answer:
Alpha Company
a. Break-even EBIT, using EPS without taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
With alternative 1, there are no taxes, so:
= (EBIT - Interest 1)/No. of shares = EBIT - Interest 2)/No. of shares
= (EBIT - 0)/400,000 = EBIT - ($2,000,000 x 8%)/200,000
= (EBIT/400,000( = (EBIT - $160,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
EBIT200,000 = EBIT$64,000,000,000
dividing by 200,000:
EBIT = $64,000,000,000/200,000
EBIT = $320,000
b. Break-even EBIT, using EPS with taxes:
= (EBIT - Interest 1) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares = (EBIT - Interest 2) * (1 - taxes)/No. of shares
= {(EBIT - $0) * (1 - 0.30)}/400,000 = {(EBIT - $160,000) * (1 - 0.30)}/200,000
= EBIT/400,000 = (EBIT - $112,000)/200,000
cross-multiplying:
= EBIT 200,000 = EBIT $44,800,000,000
EBIT = $44,800,000,000/200,000
= $224,000
c. The two break-even EBITs are not the same. When there are taxes, the break-even EBIT is $224,000, less by $96,000.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Alternative 1: All Equity:
No. of shares = 400,000
Value of shares = $4,000,000
Debt = $0
Interest on Debt = $0
Alternative 2: Equity + Debt:
No. of shares = 200,000
Value of shares = $2,000,000
Debt = $2,000,000
Interest on Debt = 8% or $160,000
b) Alpha's break-even EBIT is the point when the EBIT under alternative 1 are equal to the EBIT under alternative 2. This implies that under these given alternative financing options, the earnings before interest and taxes are before no matter the alternative chosen.
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $880 per month in a stock account and $480 per month in a bond account. The return of the stock account is expected to be an APR of 10.8 percent, and the bond account will earn an APR of 6.8 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an APR of 7.8 percent. All interest rates are compounded monthly. How much can you withdraw each month from your account assuming a withdrawal period of 20 years
Answer:
$14,143.86 can be withdrawn each month from the account for 20 years.
Explanation:
To determine this, the first step is to use the formula for calculating the future value (FV) of ordinary annuity to calculate the FV of both stock and bond as follows:
Calculation of Future Value of Stock
FVs = M × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FVs = Future value of the amount invested in stock after 25 years =?
M = Monthly investment = $880
r = Monthly interest rate = 10.8% ÷ 12 = 0.9%, or 0.009
n = number of months = 25 years × 12 months = 300
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FVs = $880 × {[(1 + 0.009)^360 - 1] ÷ 0.009}
FVs = $880 × 1,522.3445923122
FVs = $1,339,663.24
Calculation of Future Value of Bond
FVd = M × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ................................. (1)
Where,
FVd = Future value of the amount invested in bond after 25 years =?
M = Monthly investment = $480
r = Monthly interest rate = 6.8% ÷ 12 = 0.566666666666667%, or 0.00566666666666667
n = number of months = 25 years × 12 months = 300
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FVd = $480 × {[(1 + 0.00566666666666667)^300 - 1] ÷ 0.00566666666666667}
FVd = $480 × 784.895879465925
FVd = $376,750.02
Calculation of the amount that can be withdrawn monthly for 20 years
To calculate this, the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:
PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (3)
Where;
PV = Combined present values of stock and bond investments after retirement = FVs + FVb = $1,339,663.24 + $376,750.02 = $1,716,413.26
P = Monthly withdrawal = ?
r = Monthly interest rate = 7.8% ÷ 12 = 0.65%, or 0.0065
n = number of months = 20 years * 12 months = 240
Substitute the values into equation (3) and solve for P to have:
PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r]
$1,716,413.26 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.0065)]^240} ÷ 0.0065]
$1,716,413.26 = P × 121.353915567094
P = $1,716,413.26 / 121.353915567094
P = $14,143.86
Therefore, $14,143.86 can be withdrawn each month from the account for 20 years.
The linear correlation coefficient of a set of data points is -0.9.
a. Is the slope of the regression line positive or negative?
b. Determine the coefficient of determination.
Answer:
1. The slope is negative.
2. 0.81
Explanation:
The slope of the regression line is definitely negative
A linear equation has its regression line as
T = a + bc
The slope of the regression line is known as b.
From the question, b = -0.9
Therefore the slope of the regression line is negative.
B. Coefficient of determination = r²
r =(-0.90)
r² = 0.81

The master budget of Sheffield Corp. shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 50000 machine hours. At this level of activity, the following manufacturing overhead costs are expected: Indirect labor$730000 Machine supplies200000 Indirect materials220000 Depreciation on factory building120000 Total manufacturing overhead $1270000 A flexible budget for a level of activity of 60000 machine hours would show total manufacturing overhead costs of
Answer:
Total overhead= $1,500,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
First, we need to separate the variable overhead and the fixed overhead:
Variable overhead:
Indirect labor 730,000
Machine supplies 200,000
Indirect materials 220,000
Total variable overhead= $1,150,000
Fixed overhead:
Depreciation on factory building $120,000
Now, we need to calculate the unitary variable overhead:
unitary variable overhead= 1,150,000/50,000= $23
Finally, the total overhead for 60,000 units:
Total overhead= 23*60,000 + 120,000
Total overhead= $1,500,000
Joe-Bob wants to buy a car and will need to take out a loan in order to make the purchase. His current monthly income is $3,500 per month. His mortgage payment is $900 per month, and his student loan payment is $350 per month. Note: You do not need to take taxes into consideration for this journal.
a. According to the affordability formulas given, can he afford to take out another loan?
b. When should he follow the affordability formulas?
c. In what cases should he not?
d. How could taking out the car loan impact his other priorities?
Answer:
A) according to the affordability formula Joe-Bob can take out another loan because his DTI is 36%
B) He should follow the affordability formula when he wants to take out loans
C) He should not follow DTI if he isn't taking out loans
D) Taking out a loan will negatively impact his other priorities if his DTI is very high or greater than 100%
Explanation:
using the affordability formula
The debt to income ratio = [tex]\frac{total debt}{gross income}[/tex]
total debt = mortgage payment + loan repayment = $900 + $350
= $1250
gross income = $3500
hence debt to income ratio = 1250 / 3500 = 0.3571 = 35.7%
A) according to the affordability formula Joe-Bob can take out another loan because his DTI is 36%
B) He should follow the affordability formula when he wants to take out loans
C) He should not follow DTI if he isn't taking out loans
D) Taking out a loan will negatively impact his other priorities if his DTI is very high or greater than 100%
a. According to the affordability formulas, Joe-Bob cannot afford to take out a car loan. His current DTI without the auto loan is almost 36%.
b. Joe-Bob should follow the affordability formulas to guide his decisions in taking a new loan.
c. Joe-Bob does not need to follow the affordability formulas when his debt to income ratio (DTI) is far below 36%. He can also avoid the affordability formulas when he has the prospect of increasing his monthly income.
d. If Joe-Bob takes out the car loan despite his poor rating on the affordability formulas, he may not afford to pay his bills for necessities.
Thus, Joe-Bob should not take on more loans now until he improves his income. An automobile will require routine maintenance and some repairs, including fuelling.
Data and Calculations:
Current monthly income = $3,500
Monthly mortgage payment = $900
Monthly student loan payment = $350
Total current debts = $1,250 ($900 + $350)
The Affordability Formula (Current Debt Payment to Income Ratio) =
35.7% ($1,250/$3,500 x 100)
The Affordability Rule states that Joe-Bob should not spend more than 36% of his monthly income repaying loans.

Answer:
Cumulative Preferred Stock must always pay out Dividends and when they cannot, the amount unpaid will be accrued for payment to another year when it can be paid.
When Dividends are declared, Preference Shareholders are paid first and then common shareholders follow.
Year 1
Preference Shares = Number of shares * Par value * %
= 15,000 * 50 * 2%
= $15,000
Common Shareholders will get the rest;
= 30,000 - 15,000
= $15,000
Year 2.
Preference Shareholders are still due $15,000 however only $12,000 is available. They will take all of it and be owed $3,000.
Preference Shares, Year 2 = $12,000
Common Shareholders get nothing.
Year 3.
Preference Shareholders are owed $15,000 for the year. They are also owed $3,000 from the previous year.
Preference Shares = 15,000 + 3,000
= $18,000
Common Shareholders will get the remainder;
= 45,000 - 18,000
= $27,000
Exercise 10-1 Recording bond issuance and interest LO P1 On January 1, 2017, Boston Enterprises issues bonds that have a $3,400,000 par value, mature in 20 years, and pay 9% interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds are sold at par. 1. How much interest will Boston pay (in cash) to the bondholders every six months
Answer:
Semi-annual interest payment=$153,000
Explanation:
The interest payment on the bond is an expense which would be incurred twice a year because the terms and conditions of the bond contract is that interest be paid semi-annually, that is every six month.
This implies that we would need to work out the interest rate applicable for every six month. This is doe as follows:
Semi-annual interest rate = Annual interest rate / 2
Annual interest rate = 9%
Semi-annual interest rate = 9%/2= 4.5%
Semi-annual interest payment = Interest rate × Nominal value of Bond
Semi-annual interest payment = 4.5% × $3,400,000=$153,000
Semi-annual interest payment= $153,000

If WiseGuy Inc. uses payback period rule to choose projects, which of the projects (Project A or Project B) will rank highest?
a) Project A
b) Project B
c) Project A and B have the same ranking
d) Cannot calculate a payback period without a discount rate
Answer: b) Project B
Explanation:
Payback period works by checking how long it will take a project to pay back the initial amount invested in it. Project A.
Project A
Payback Period = Year before Payback happens + Amount left till payback/Cash inflow in year of payback
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 4,000 + 3,000
= $7,000
This amount is not enough to cover the investment of $10,000 so the investment will be paid in Time 3 and remains $3,000.
= 2 + 3,000/10,000
= 2.3 Times
Project B
= Time 1 + Time 2
= 3,000 + 2,000
= $5,000
At the end of Time 2, Project B has paid off its initial investment of $5,000. Its Payback period is 2 Times. This is lower than Project A so this project will rank higher.
Thomas Kratzer is the purchasing manager for the headquarters of a large insurance company chain with a central inventory operation. Thomas's fastest-moving inventory item has a demand of 5,900 units per year. The cost of each unit is $102, and the inventory carrying cost is $9 per unit per year. The average ordering cost is $29 per order. It takes about 5 days for an order to arrive, and the demand for 1 week is 118 units. (This is a corporate operation, and there are 250 working days per year).
Required:
a. What is the EOQ?
b. What is the average inventory if the EOQ is used?
c. What is the optimal number of orders per year?
d. What is the optimal number of days in between any two orders?
e. What is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory?
f. What is the total annual inventory cost, including cost of the 6,000 units?
Answer: Please find answers below
Explanation:
(a) Economic order quantity EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{2 X Annual Demand X Ordering Cost) / Carrying Cost)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 5,900 X 29 / 9 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{38,022.222}[/tex]
= 194.99 units
(b) Average number of units = Economic order quantity / 2
= 194.99 / 2
= 97.496 units
(c) Optimal number of orders = Annual Demand / Economic order quantity
= 5,900units / 194.99 units =30.26
(d) Optimal number of days between two orders = Number of working days / Optimal number of orders
= 250 days / 30.26
= 8.26
Total ordering cost = Cost per order X Number of orders
= $29 X 30.26
= $ 877.54
Total holding cost = Average inventory X carrying cost per unit
= 194.99 /2 X $9
= $877.455
(e) Annual cost of ordering and holding inventorY =Total ordering cost + Total carrying cost
= $ 877.54 + $877.455
= $ 1,754.995 ≈ $1,755
(f) Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 5900 units at $102 per unit
= $ 877.54 + $877.455 + (5,900 x 102) = $1754.995 +601,800= $603,554.995≈$603,555
Total annual inventory cost =Total ordering cost +Total holding cost + Actual cost of 6000 units at $102 per unit
= $ 877.54 + $877.455 + (6000 x 102) = $1754.995 +612,000= $613,754.995≈$613,755
Informal groups: Group of answer choices exist primarily for the benefit of their members. perform routine organizational goals. perform uncommon tasks of the organization. always have a high level of interdependence. are initiated by the organization for special purposes.
Answer:
exist primarily for the benefit of their members.
Explanation:
Informal groups in an organization are created when individuals form a bond based on the experience that they share, they appear from friendship and not by rules inside the company but they influence how people interact and how they perform their job. Also, companies promote the apperance of these groups because they help people interact and improve their communication. According to that, the answer is that informal groups exist primarily for the benefit of their members as they are created by the friendship between employees and not by the company.
The other options are not right because informal groups don't perform routine organizational goals or uncommon tasks of the organization, they don't have a high level of interdependence and they are not initiated by the organization for special purposes because they are created by the employees and are not part of the company's structure.
if N lekin's beginning capital balance shown on a statement of owner's equity is 100,000. net income for the period is
Answer:
$125,000
Explanation:
The computation of the owner's capital balance at the end of the period is shown below:-
Owner's Capital balance at the end = Capital balance in the beginning + Additional investments + Net Income - Withdrawals
= $100,000 + 0 + $50,000 - $25,000
= $125,000
Therefore for computing the owner's capital balance at the end we simply applied the above formula.
The ratio of sales to invested assets, which is also a factor in the DuPont formula for determining the rate of return on investment, is called
Answer:
Investment turnover
Explanation:
Investment turnover is used to compare the revenue earned by a business to the invested assets (equity or debt). It measures how effectively the business is using investment to generate profit.
The number of times investment is converted to revenue is calculated using this method (that is the turnover).
This metric is used in the Dupont formula.
Dupont formula is a financial ratio that evaluates a company's ability to increase return on equity.
Three main components of the Dupont formula are: profit margin, total asset turnover, and financial leverage.
The Absolute Zero Co. just issued a dividend of $2.70 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 5.6 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $54 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?
Answer:
10.88%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of the company's cost of equity is shown below:-
Stock price = (Current dividend × (1 + Growth rate)) ÷ (Cost of equity - Growth rate)
$54 = ($2.70 × (1 + 0.056)) ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.056)
Cost of equity = $2.8512 ÷ $54 + 0.056
= 10.88%
Therefore for computing the cost of equity we simply applied the above formula.
HSS Company provides security services to senior executives of prominent corporations when they travel outside the United States. HSS applies both fixed and variable overhead using direct labor hours. The annual budget for one if its customers is as follows: Budgeted hours 800 hours Direct labor $50.00 per hr. Variable overhead $30.00per hr. Fixed overhead $15.00 per hr. During the year, HSS had the following activity related to this customer: Actual hours were 850 at a total cost of $44,200. Actual fixed overhead was $12,750. Actual variable overhead was $22,950. What is the Variable Overhead Flexible Budget Variance?
a. U $2,550
b. U $1,050
c. F $2,550
d. F $1,050
Answer:
Variable overhead variance = $2,550 favorable
Explanation:
Flexible budget is that which is that which recognizes the cost behavior and is used for control purpose. It is prepared based on the actual level of activity achieved.
The variable overhead rate variance is the difference between the actual variable overhead cost and the actual hours multiplied by the standard variable overhead rate.
Actual hours of labour should have cost
($30× 850) 25500
but did cost 22,950
Variable overhead variance 2,550 favorable
Variable overhead rate variance = $2,550 favorable
Variable overhead deficiency variance
