Which are broad categories of action for crafting strategic moves to improve a diversified company's overall performance? (Choose every correct answer.)
Question Completion with Options:
O sticking closely with the existing business lineup and pursuing opportunities that those businesses present.
O Divesting certain businesses and retrenching to a narrower base of business operations.
O Widening the company's business scope by making new acquisitions in new industries.
Answer:
The broad categories of action for crafting strategic moves to improve a diversified company's overall performance are:
O sticking closely with the existing business lineup and pursuing opportunities that those businesses present.
O Divesting certain businesses and retrenching to a narrower base of business operations.
O Widening the company's business scope by making new acquisitions in new industries.
Explanation:
In addition to pursuing existing business opportunities, a diversified company can increase its performance indexes by divesting itself of certain unprofitable lines of business or slow-growth businesses and focusing its resources on cash cows and stars. The pursuit of stars will lead it to make new acquisitions in relatively new industries in order to remain attractive to investors, otherwise, it runs the risk of growing into extinction like the historical dinosaur.
Delta Screen Corporation is currently operating at 60% of capacity and producing 6,000 screens annually. The normal selling price is $750 per screen. They recently received an offer from a company in Germany to purchase 2,000 screens for $500 per unit. Delta has not previously sold products in Germany. Budgeted production costs for 6,000 and 8,000 screens follow:Units Produced 6,000 8,000 Direct Materials Cost $ 750,000 $ 1,000,000Direct Labor Cost 750,000 1,000,000Variable Overhead 900,000 1,200,000 Fixed Overhead 1,200,000 1,200,00 Total Cost 3,600,000 4,400,000Full Cost per Unit 600 550Delta’s marketing manager believes that although the price offered by the German customer is lower than current price, the order should be accepted to gain a foothold in the German market. The production manager, however, believes that the order should be rejected because the unit cost is higher than the price offered.If the president of Delta were to call on you to resolve the difference in opinion, what would you recommend? Explain.What is the minimum price for the special order if Delta is operating at full capacity?
Answer:
a. I would recommend the the special order should be accepted.
b. The minimum price for the special order is the current selling price of $750.
Explanation:
a. If the president of Delta were to call on you to resolve the difference in opinion, what would you recommend?
Because the existing data's format and findings are deceiving, I would suggest to the president to let us perform a differential analysis before making a recommendation.
Note: See the attached excel file for a analysis of accepting the order.
In the attached excel file, the following calculation is done:
Special order revenue = Difference revenue = Units of special order * Special order price per unit = 2,000 * $500 = $1,000,000
Revenue with the special order = Revenue without the special order + Special order revenue = $4,500,000 + $1,000,000 = $4,500,000
From the differential analysis in the attached excel, it can be observed that accepting the order will increase profit by $200,000.
Therefore, I would recommend the the special order should be accepted.
b. What is the minimum price for the special order if Delta is operating at full capacity?
Since other sales opportunities has be forgone if the special order is accepted if Delta is operating at full capacity, the minimum price for the special order must be or is the current selling price of $750.

The demand for aloe vera hand lotion, one of numerous products manufactured by Smooth Skin Care Products Inc., has dropped sharply because of recent competition from a similar product. The company's chemists are currently completing tests of various new formulas, and it is anticipated that the manufacture of a superior product can be started on December 1, one month in the future. No changes will be needed in the present production facilities to manufacture the new product because only the mixture of the various materials will be changed.
The controller has been asked by the president of the company for advice on whether to continue production during November or to suspend the manufacture of aloe vera hand lotion until December 1. The controller has assembled the following pertinent data:
Sales (400,000 units) $32,000,000
Cost of goods sold 28,330,000
Gross profit $3,670,000
Selling and administrative expenses 4,270,000
Loss from operations ($600,000)
The production costs and selling and administrative expenses, based on production of 400,000 units in October, are as follows:
Direct materials $15per unit
Direct labor 17per unit
Variable manufacturing cost 35per unit
Variable selling and administrative expenses 10 per unit
Fixed manufacturing cost $1,530,000 for October
Fixed selling and administrative expenses 270,000 for October
Sales for November are expected to drop about 20% below those of the preceding month. No significant changes are anticipated in the fixed costs or variable costs per unit. No extra costs will be incurred in discontinuing operations in the portion of the plant associated with aloe vera hand lotion. The inventory of aloe vera hand lotion at the beginning and end of November is expected to be inconsequential.
Required:
Prepare an estimated income statement in absorption costing form for November for aloe vera hand lotion, assuming that production continues during the month.
Answer:
Estimated loss from operations for aloe vera hand lotion in November = -$534,000.
Explanation:
The following calculations are done first:
Direct materials per unit = $15
Direct labor per unit = $17
Variable manufacturing cost per unit = $35
Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = Fixed manufacturing cost for October / Number of units in October = $1,530,000 / 400,000 = $3.825
Cost of goods sold per unit = Product cost per unit = Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing cost per unit + Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = $15 + $17 + $35 + $3.825 = $70.825
Also, we have:
Expected sales in unit for November = Sales in unit for October * (100% - Expected percentage drop in sales) = 400,000 * (100% - 20%) = 320,00 units
Selling price per unit = Sales in October / Units sold in October = $32,000,000 / 400,000 = $80
Variable selling and administrative expenses per unit = $10
Fixed selling and administrative expenses for October = $270,000
Based on the above calculations, an estimated income statement in absorption costing form for November for aloe vera hand lotion can be prepared as follows:
Smooth Skin Care Products Inc.
Estimated Income Statement for Aloe Vera Hand Lotion
(Absorption Costing)
For November

Sales Revenue ($80 * 320,000) 25,600,000
Cost of good sold ($70.825 * 320,000) (22,664,000)
Gross profit 2,936,000
Selling and administrative expenses:
Variable ($10 * 320,000) (3,200,000)
Fixed (270,000)
Loss from operations (534,000)
Therefore, we have:
Estimated loss from operations for aloe vera hand lotion in November = -$534,000
a company enters into a long futures contract to buy 4,000 barrels of oil for $62.50 per barrel. the initial margin is $62.50 x 4,000. what oil futures price will allow $2,000 to be withdrawn from the margin account
Answer:
For $2,000 to be withdrawn from the margin account, the oil futures price must be $62.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of the long futures contract to buy 4,000 barrels of oil = $62.50 per barrel
Initial margin = $62.50 * 4,000
b) If the futures price is fixed at $62 per barrel and the initial margin per barrel already opened with a broker is $62.50, then the security investor can withdraw $2,000 ($0.50 * 4,000) from the margin account. This will result in an excess of $0.50 per barrel. Computationally, $0.50 * 4,000 = $2,000.
MC Qu. 117 Cosi Company uses a job order costing... Cosi Company uses a job order costing system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. Cosi expects to incur $830,000 of overhead during the next period, and expects to use 53,000 labor hours at a cost of $10.00 per hour. What is Cosi Company's overhead application rate
Answer:
157%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Cosi Company's overhead application rate
First step is to calculate Total DL Cost
Total DL Cost = 53,000 hours * $10/hr
Total DL Cost= $530,000
Now let determine the overhead application rate
OH rate = $830,000/$530,000*100
OH rate= 157%
Therefore Cosi Company's overhead application rate is 157%
If the demand for a product was 16, 28, 20 and 24 units in four consecutive months, and the corresponding forecasts in those four months were 20, 16, 20 and 30 units respectively, what is the MAD at the end of four months

Profit margin is calculated by dividing Group of answer choices sales by cost of goods sold. gross profit by net sales. net income by stockholders' equity. net income by net sales. Flag question: Question 19
Answer:
net income by net sales.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. Also, the price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider and it eventually determines the profit margin of a business firm.
In Financial accounting, profit margin can be defined as a measure of the profitability of a business over a specific period of time. Thus, it is simply the amount of money by which revenue generated through sales exceed the costs of a product.
Hence, profit margin is calculated by dividing net income by net sales or net profits by net sales over a specific period of time.
The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $4,250,000 in a fixed asset, using straight-line depreciation, with a useful life of 20 years, no residual value, and an expected total net income of $8,500,000 over the 20 years is:_________ (round to two decimal points).
a. 10.00%
b. 20.00%
c. 40.00%
d. 1.00%
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Average rate of return is a capital budgeting method. It is used to determine if a firm should invest in a project or should not invest in a project
average rate of return = average net income / average cost of investment
average net income = (total net income - depreciation) / useful life
(8,500,000 - $4,250,000) / 20 = 212,500
Average cost of investment =( beginning book value of the investment - ending book value of the investment) / 2
($4,250,000 - 0) / 2 = 2,125,000
ARR = 212,500 / 2125,000 = 0.1 = 10%

A company designs a training program for underperforming employees. They enroll in the program the employees who received the worst 10% of performance evaluations in a given year. They find that very few of the employees who go through the program are in the bottom 10% of performance evaluations the next year. What can they conclude about their new program
Answer:
They can conclude that the program was a success
Explanation:
They can conclude that the program was a success. The main goal of the program is to increase the performance of the employees that were performing the worst in the company. By choosing the bottom 10% of the performance evaluation, they make sure that they are getting the worst of the worst in the company. Therefore, if after the program, the subjects are no longer in the bottom 10% then this means that they have drastically increased their performance and have even passed those that were in a much higher performance ranking than them in the previous year. This means that the program exceeded its goal and can be marked as successful.
A newscaster earns $26600 and wants to invest 10% of his/her monthly salary to save for retirement in 28 years. if he/she invests this money at 4.2% compounded monthly, how much money will he/she have at retirement?
a) How much will be saved each year?
b) What will be the monthly deposit?
c) What will be the amount in the account after 28 years?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual salary= $26,600
Number of periods= 28*12= 336
Interest rate= 0.042/12= 0.0035
First, we need to calculate the annual savings:
Annual saving= 26,600*0.1= $2,660
Now, the monthly deposit:
Monthly deposit= 2,660/12= $221.67
Finally, the future value of the investment:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {221.67*[(1.0035^336) - 1]} / 0.0035
FV= $141,535.3
A TV manufacturing company uses speakers at the rate of 8000/mo. When it places an order for speakers it incurs a fixed cost of $1200. The monthly interest rate for keeping a speaker in stock is assessed at 1%/mo. The cost of the speaker depends on the order size. If less than 1000 speakers are ordered the cost is $11 each. When the order size is between 1000 and 10,000 the cost is $10.50/unit. For order sizes between 10,000 and 30,000 the cost is $10 per unit. For order quantities between 30,000 and 80,000 the cost drops to $9.50. Beyond 80,000 the cost is $9.25. Determine the optimum order size and time between orders if shortages are not allowed.
Please use excel to solve this problem. Show all cell formulas and parameters used.
Solution :
1. Ordering quantity 500 1000 10000 30000 80000
2. No. of orders 16 8 0.8 0.27 0.1
3. Average inventory 250 500 5000 15000 40000
4. Value of average 2750 5250 50000 142500 370000
inventory
5. Monthly total cost
a). Cost of material 88000 84000 80000 760000 740000
b). Ordering cost 19200 9600 960 320 120
c). Carrying cost 27.5 52.5 500 1425 3700
Total monthly cost 107227.5 93652.5 81460 77745 77820
Among the total monthly cost, $ 77,745 is the least cost.
Therefore, the optimum order size of quantity = 30,000
The number of orders per month = 8000/30000 = 0.267
Time between two consecutive orders = 30000/8000 = 3.75 months
The beginning inventory of BG Action Figures is understated by $7 million at December 31, 20x8. What is the effect on 20x8 cost of goods sold? Group of answer choices $7 million overstated $7 million understated no effect none of the above
Answer:
$7million understated
Explanation:
Based on the information given the effect on 20x8 COST OF GOODS SOLD will be UNDERSTATED by $7 million reasons been that since the OPENING INVENTORY IS UNDERSTATED by $7 million which means that the COST OF GOODS SOLD will as well be UNDERSTATED by the same amount based on the fact that opening inventory adds to Cost of goods sold.

Stock Rit Rmt ai Beta
A 10.6 15Â Â Â 0 0.8
Z Â 9.8 8 0 1.1
Rit = return for stock i during period t
Rmt = return for the aggregate market during period t
What is the abnormal rate of return for Stock Z during period t using only the aggregate market return (ignore differential systematic risk)?
a. 3.40
b. 4.40
c. 1.80
d. -4.40
E.
-1.70
Answer:
1.8 option c
Explanation:
this question has a very simple solution
the following definitions
Rit = return for stock i during period t
Rmt = return for the aggregate market during period t
The abnormal rate of return for stock z is = Rit - Rmt
Rit = 9.8
Rmt = 8
9.8 - 8 = 1.8
therefore the abnormal rte of return for stock z is = 1.8, which is option c

Suppose Yakov and Ana are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Yakov chooses Right and Ana chooses Right, Yakov will receive a payoff of 8.
Ana
Left Right
Yakov Left 8,5 8,7
Right 3,6 9,8
a. The only dominant strategy in this game is for _____ to choose _____.
b. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Yakov chooses _____ and Ana chooses _____.
Answer:
a. The only dominant strategy in this game is for Ana to choose Right.
b. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Yakov chooses Right and Ana chooses Right.
Explanation:
A dominant strategy is one that makes a player better off regardless of the choices made by his or her opponent in a game.
Given:
Ana
Left Right
Yakov Left 8,5 8,7
Right 3,6 9,8
In this game, when Yakov plays Left, Ana will choose Right since 7 > 5. Ana will also choose Right when Yakov plays Right since 8 > 6. This demonstrates that Ana will always play Right, regardless of what Yakov does. This means that Ana's dominant strategy is Right.
On the other hand, when Ana plays Left, Yakov will also play Left because 8 > 3. However, because 9 > 8, when Ana plays Right, Yakov will likewise play Right. This demonstrates that Yakov does not have a specific strategy that makes him better off. As a result, Yakov lacks a dominant strategy.
Based on the above analysis, we have:
a. The only dominant strategy in this game is for Ana to choose Right.
b. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Yakov chooses Right and Ana chooses Right.
