The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 20% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be:______.A) 20,400 pounds.B) 19,600 pounds.C) 18,600 pounds.D) 18,400 pounds.
Answer: 18400 pounds
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the purchase of raw material for February would be budgeted to be:
= (19000 × 1) + (16000 × 1 × 20%) - (19000 × 1 × 20%)
= 19000 + 3200 - 3800
= 18400 pounds
Therefore, purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be 18400 pounds.
Levine Inc. is considering an investment that has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 10%. What is the investment's coefficient of variation?
a. 0.67
b. 0.73
c. 0.81
d. 0.89
e. 0.98
Answer:
A)0.67
Explanation:
Coefficient of variation can be regarded as the method that is usually devices in the assessment of the total risk per unit of return in a particular investment.
To calculate the investment's coefficient of variation, we use the expresion below
Coefficient of variation = standard deviation/expected return.
Given:
expected return = 15%
standard deviation = 10%.
Coefficient of variation =10/15
= 0.67
Hence, the investment's coefficient of variation is 0.67
Ingram Electric Products is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? Note that a project's projected MIRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative), in which case it will be rejected.
WACC: 11.00%
Year 0 1 2 3
Cash flows -$800 $350 $350 $350
Answer:
the project's MIRR is 13.50 %.
Explanation:
MODIFIED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (MIRR)
-It is the rate that causes the Present Value of the Terminal Value (Future Cash flows at the end of the Project) to equal Present Value of Cash outflows.
-MIRR assumes a reinvestment rate at the end of the project
The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 3.
Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 3 - n)
= $350 x (1.11) ^ 2 + $350 x (1.11) ^ 1 + $350 x (1.11) ^ 0
= $431.24 + $388.50 + $350.00
= $1,169.74
The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :
(-$800) CFj
0 CFj
0 CFj
$1,169.74 CFj
Shift IRR/Yr 113.50 %
Therefore, the MIRR is 13.50 %

Perceived risk, which is defined as an individual’s degree of expected uncertainty associated with the result of using a certain technology (Tan and Lau, 2016). It includes five main groupings: service performance, monetary, time, societal, and security risks (Jacoby and Kaplan, 1972; Mha, 2015). Perceived risks in turn increase consumer hesitation and generate negative attitudes toward a service (Kalaiarasi and Srividya, 2012). This breeds a sense of anxiety and unease that in turn decreases the perceived value and usefulness of technology, thereby diminishing adoption intentions (Kumar, Arcand, Tai, 2012). Indeed, as stated by (Kazi and Mannan, 2013), electronic banking applications are associated with high perceived risks because consumers fear the exchange of personal financial information and services through online applications Moreover, studies have indicated that a high degree of perceived risk and insecurity is generally associated with mobile devices as people dread the loss or theft of these appliances and the information they hold (Hanafizadeh, 2013). Studies have also found that consumers fear the uncertainty associated with mobile applications, including system errors, software problems, connection troubles, and third party hacking (Tai and Ku, 2013). Therefore, high risks will significantly reduce an individual’s likelihood to adopt m-banking technologies (Kumar, Arcand, Tai, 2012).
Answer:
A researcher wants to understand the role of ethnocentrism, animosity, and self-esteem on purchase intention towards Chinese products in Pakistan is explained below in complete details.
Explanation:
1. Independent variable are those variables which are shaped by the experimenter, also described the incentive variable. There are 3 Autonomous Variables
IV. - • Ethnocentrism • Animosity • Self Esteem
Dependent Variable- The variable that is covered, also termed acknowledgment variable.
DV -the purpose of acquiring Chinese commodities.
Moderator - moderator is the variable that improves the intensity of the association between IV and DV (as discussed in the description above)
Social Status is the moderator.
3. Alternative hypothesis - Social Status moderates the variation in the purchasing purpose of Chinese commodities between people of differing Ethnocentrism, self-esteem, and Animosity towards Chinese commodities in Pakistani people.
Null hypothesis - there is no distinction between the purchasing intention of people of differing Ethnocentrism, Self Esteem, and Animosity towards Chinese commodities in pakistani population.

What is the minimum number of integers that you must pick between 0 and 9 (inclusive), such that two of them add up to 9?
Answer:
6
Explanation:
there are 5 different possible combinations of two integers that equal 9 when you add them together:
(0,9)(1,8)(2,7) (3,6)(4,5)The worst case scenario is that you choose 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, and adding any pair will not result in 9. So you will need to choose a sixth number and whichever that number is (either 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9), you will be able to add it to another one to get 9.
The best case scenario is that you choose only two and you are lucky enough to get a combination that works.
Identify and explain the dimensions of Iqra University’s culture, ranging from high level to low level for each dimension of culture.

The dimensions of Iqra University’s culture are the following.
Iqra University is a private university in Pakistan, and one of the most prominent colleges in the Pakistan education system.
The most important dimension of its culture is to provide high-quality education to its students. This university tries to match the graduates with the always-changing market necessities in Pakistan.
Another important aspect is that school teachers instill critical thinking abilities in each of their students because as part of its culture, they want to help students think wisely in a complicated world in order to choose the best decision and action.

Four people each have a different willingness to pay for one unit of a good: George will pay $15, Glen will pay $12, Tom will pay $10, and Peter will pay $8. If price decreases from $9 to $8 then the consumer surplus from this unit will increase by___. The consumer surplus is calculated as the marginal benefit or the value of the good minus its price, then summed over the quantity bought. If the price is $9, there are only 3 people (George, Glen, and Tom) who would buy the goods. Since Peter wants to pay $8, he will not buy this good since its price ($9) is higher than his willingness to pay. The consumer surpluses for George, Glen, and Tom are $6 (=15 - 9), $3 (=12 - 9), and $1 (=10 - 9), respectively. The total consumer surplus would be $10 (= 6 + 3 + 1). If the price is $8, all of them would be willing to buy the goods. The consumer surpluses for George, Glen, Tom, and Peter are $7 (=15 - 8) $4 (=12 - 8), $2 (=10 - 8), and $0 (=8 - 8), respectively. The total consumer surplus would be $13 (= 7 + 4 + 2). Thus, if price decreases from $9 to $8 then the consumer surplus from this unit will increase by $3. If the price increases from $9 to $11, what would be the decrease in consumer surplus?
Answer:
If price decreases from $9 to $8 then the consumer surplus from this unit will increase by $3.
Explanation:
total consumer surplus = ($15 + $12 + $10 + $8) - (4 x $8) = $45 - $32 = $13. Consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum amount that consumers are willing to pay for a good or service, and its actual price.
when the price was $9 per unit, total consumer surplus = ($15 + $12 + $10) - (3 x $9) = $37 - $27 = $10.
that means that consumer surplus increased by $13 - $10 = $3
A change in which of the following will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift?
A)
energy costs
B)
productivity of workers
C)
regulations
D)
consumer spending
Answer:
D) consumer spending
Explanation:
The aggregate demand is the total of all goods and services that consumers are willing and able to buy in the economy in a given period. It is the demand for all goods and services in the entire country per period. Price variation usually causes movements along the demand curve.
Other factors that influence governments, firms, and household expenditures cause the aggregate demand curve to shift. A change in consumer spending will reduce the number of goods demanded. The aggregate demand will shift inwards.

While intangible assets have no physical shape or size, they pack lots of power for your business. If you and your employees have worked hard to create trademarks, patents, or copyrights, for example, you can use these assets in several ways to grow your business or increase business profit.
What are Intangible Assets?
An Intangible Asset is a business asset which has no material substance. Intangible assets can be found in all areas of a business. For example:
Technology, like technical manuals, engineering processes, computer software
Customer relationships,
Contracts, franchises, licenses, and permits
Trained and competent workers (called workforce in place)
Some intangible assets are intellectual property. That is, they are specifically created by individuals and protected by laws from being stolen. Examples of intellectual property are trademarks, service marks, copyrights, and patents.
Customer relationships, including goodwill (the value of customer relationships),
Trade secrets, brand recognition, and proprietary business processes ("the way we do things in this company")
Marketing and advertising campaigns and materials
Location-related assets like land, water, and mineral rights.
How to Use Intangible Assets
Selling Intangible Assets
Some general intangibles, like business processes, can be packaged and sold. Create and sell a book on "the way we do things at XYZ company," with examples of how you did it. You don't have to give away all of your trade secrets, though. Just those that can be translated into other types of businesses.
You can also sell a copyright. Musicians often sell a music copyright, but more often they license the rights. These licenses are called Creative Commons Licenses.
Use Them to Increase Value in the Sale of Your Business
Goodwill is an important asset in the sale of a business. In a business sale, particularly one in which you are selling the business as a going concern, goodwill is the difference between the fair market price or book value of all the business assets and the sale price.
Other general intangible assets and intellectual property may also be valued and included in the selling price of a business.
License or Assign Assets Like Patents, Copyrights, and Trademarks
If your business has patents or trademarks, you can license the patent rights to someone, who can produce products from them. You can receive royalties on a continuing basis and set up criteria for use of the products made from these assets.
You may also want to consider assigning an asset, as a permanent sale.
Amortize Intangible Assets
Amortization is a calculation which allows you to spread out the expense of an intangible asset over its useful life, instead of capitalizing it in just one year. Amortization works like depreciation. Having expenses in several years allows you to reduce your business income during these years, thus reducing your business tax bill.
Under Section 197 of the Internal Revenue Code, the IRS designates certain intangible assets that can be amortized over 15 years and other intangible assets which cannot be amortized. The complete list is on Section 197 Intangible Assets.
Getting Help from an Intellectual Property Attorney
For most of these ways to use your intangible assets, you will need to hire a special attorney called an intellectual property lawyer, who can help you navigate the tricky world of selling and licensing.

Steve Colburn's portable sawmill used 100% for business, was completely destroyed by fire. The sawmill had an adjusted basis of $35,000 and a fair market value of $50,000 before the fire. The sawmill was uninsured. Steve's casualty loss is:________.1) $49,900.
2) $50,000.
3) $35,000.
4) $34,900.
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
A casualty loss is simply a loss that an individual or business incurs when a property is damaged, or destroyed due to an unexpected or sudden event like fire, volcanic eruption, flood etc.
Here, Steve's casualty loss will be gotten when we compare both his adjusted basis and the fair market value and then we choose the lesser one. Since $35000 is lesser than $50000, therefore the answer will be $35000.
Consider the following probability distribution of returns for Alpha Corporation:________. Current Stock Price ($) Stock Price in One Year ($) Return R Probability PR $25 $35 40% 25% $25 0% 50% $20 -20% 25% The standard deviation of the return on Alpha Corporation is closest to:_______. a. 22.4% b. 19.0% c. 21.8% d. 19.4%
Answer:
c. 21.8%
Explanation:
Note: B = Year beginning stock, C = Year end stock price, D = Dividend, E = Holding Period return, F= Holding Period return*Probability, G = (Holding Period return - Expected return)^2, H= Probability * (Holding Period return - Expected return)^2
Probability B C D E F G H
25% $25 $35 - 40% 10% 0.12250 0.03063
50% $25 $25 - 0% 0% 0.00250 0.00125
25% $25 $20 - -20% -5% 0.06250 0.01563
Expected return = 5% 4.75%
Holding period return = (Price at year end +dividend -Price at year beginning)/Price at year beginning
Variance = 4.75%
Standard deviation = √(variance)
Standard deviation = √4.75%
Standard deviation = 21.8%
If the French euro devalued by 17% against the U.S. dollar, this is equivalent to a revaluation of the dollar against the euro by:________.A) 17%B) 16.31%C) 20.48%D) 17.54%
Answer:
C) 20.48%
Explanation:
I will use an example to show this:
1€ = $1
if the euro depreciates by 17%, then the exchange rate will be 0.83€ = $1
in order for the euro to recover its previous value against the dollar, it needs to increase 0.17€ / 0.83€ = 0.2048 = 20.48%
in other words, a 17% depreciation is equivalent to a 20.48% revaluation.
Escalation bias refers to the situation in which:_______. a. investors put more money into a failure rather than into a success. b. investors tend to follow the herd. c. investors have a propensity to sell winners too soon and hang on to losers too long. d. investors ignore bad news and overemphasize good news. e. investors are all noise traders.
Answer:
a. investors put more money into a failure rather than into a success.
Explanation:
The escalation bias is a part of behavioral finance. In this the investor is not accepting their mistake if they had done any kind of mistake. Rather accepting it they put more money in the asset that performed poorly also at the same time the bad news is ignored by them, they only focused to invest more and more in the stocks
hence, the correct option is a
Stock Y has a beta of 1.10 and an expected return of 13.15 percent. Stock Z has a beta of .80 and an expected return of 6 percent. If the risk-free rate is 5.0 percent and the market risk premium is 7.6 percent, what are the reward-to-risk ratios of Y and Z?
Answer:
For Y = 7.31%
For Z = 1.25%
Explanation:
The computation of reward-to-risk ratios of Y and Z is shown below:-
Reward to Risk Ratio = (Expected Return of Security - Risk free Return) ÷ Beta of Security
Reward to Risk Ratio Y = (13.05% - 5%) ÷ 1.10
= 7.31%
Reward to Risk Ratio Z = (6% - 5%) ÷ 0.80
= 1.25%
hence, the same is to be considered

Based on the given information, it seems that Loan A has a lower principal amount ($15,000) compared to Loan B ($10,000). However, Loan A has a higher annual percentage rate (APR) of 17% compared to Loan B's 19% APR.
What are the basis of Loan comparison ?This means that over the course of the loan term, the borrower will end up paying more interest for Loan B, making the total payment for Loan B higher than Loan A.
In terms of the interest, it appears that for Loan A, the interest is about half the principal amount, whereas for Loan B, the interest is almost equal to the principal amount. This indicates that Loan B may be more expensive in terms of interest costs.
Despite Loan A having a lower principal amount, the total interest paid for Loan A is $7,367.32, which is lower than the total interest of $9,857.02 for Loan B. This suggests that Loan A may be a better option for the borrower, as it would result in lower overall costs over the loan term.
Overall, the comparison between Loan A and Loan B highlights the importance of considering both the interest rate and the principal amount when evaluating loan options.

British grocery retailer Tesco isnât accustomed to failure, but after spending five years and about $1.61 billion, Tesco managers began preparing to sell or close the companyâs 199 Fresh & Easy markets and get out of the United States for good. Fresh & Easy was a novel format for Americansâstores that were larger than convenience stores but smaller than supermarkets and that focused on selling fresh foods. As it turned out, Americans found the format neither fresh nor easy. Managers imported British favorites instead of adapting to American tastes, and each store carried the same selection of prepackaged meals and other products, no matter its location. There was no deli section where food could be made to order. Prepackaged sandwiches are commonplace to the British, but to American shoppers they seemed like something from a vending machine. The timing didnât help either. Fresh & Easy opened in the United States just before the recession devastated many of the areas in California, Arizona, and Nevada where it located its earliest stores. The chain never turned a profit.
Case Question
Based on this caselet and the concepts learned in this topic, which kind of international strategy do you think Tesco was applying in America? Tesco has now decided to open its stores in India. As a manager at Tesco, how will you do things differently this time to save the company from being a failure in India?
Answer:
1. Tesco was applying a standardization strategy in America. It treated the US domestic market as if it were the same as the British domestic market. It failed to recognize that American shoppers' tastes are different. Again, it preferred to deal with prepackaged food, an offering that is not very agreeable to the American shoppers. It also failed to domesticate the sources of its supply of grocery, preferring to import from Britain. Tesco should have purchased the grocery from the local market to make them fresh and agreeable to the local taste.
2. I will advise that the stores that are opened in India should not be patterned on the failed American strategy. Tesco should deploy a multidomestic international strategy by customizing its products, stores, and processes to the Indian market. The aim is to meet the taste of Indian shoppers. Tesco must understand that Indians prefer cooking their meals.As a result, the company must not delve into prepackaged food, but concentrate on selling Indian grocery and spices.
Explanation:
Companies employ a standardization strategy by treating the whole world as one market with little meaningful variation with the assumption of meeting people’s needs with one product. This strategy is best for some standardized products like equipment. Here, there is high global integration of markets with low local responsiveness.
On the other hand, multidomestic strategy is employed by companies to customize products or processes to the specific conditions in each country and to meet local customer tastes. For grocery shops that require the products to be fresh, a multidomestic strategy would be preferred. This strategy employs high local responsiveness with high global integration.

Lionel works for an energy company interested in drilling for oil off the coast of a small island. The representative for the local fishing industry, Rochelle, says that locals are vigorously opposed to Lionel’s idea. A town meeting is held. Lionel explains how his company is dedicated to practicing the safest drilling techniques. He explains that oil piped from the ocean’s floor is purer and that it can be harvested in a more efficient way than an oil rig on land. Lionel also emphasizes how much the trucks carrying fish to the markets all over the country would save if local oil was able to be used. Rochelle fires back that in the past, serious accidents with offshore oil drilling have been reported. She points out that if there were a spill, the resulting death of fish would cost the local fisherman their livelihood. Local opinion on the issue is split. Before the town agrees to side with Lionel’s energy company or Rochelle’s local fish industry, officials order a report from a biotechnologist.

Rochelle because Because her oil company is safer than Lionel because if there were an oil spill the damage would be huge and it would damage the fish while if they take on Rochelles's idea, they can keep the fish healthy and happy.
The biotechnologist will likely agree with Rochelle's side, as the risks of offshore oil drilling are well-documented.
In the past, there have been many accidents that have resulted in oil spills, which can have devastating consequences for the environment and the people who rely on it for their livelihood.
Even if Lionel's company is committed to using the safest drilling techniques, there is always the possibility of an accident. And even a small spill can have a significant impact on the environment. For example, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 released millions of gallons of oil into the ocean, causing widespread damage to marine life and coastal communities.
The biotechnologist will also likely consider the economic impact of offshore oil drilling. While Lionel argues that local oil would be more efficient to transport, it is important to consider the potential costs of a spill. If there were an accident, the fishing industry would likely be devastated, and the local economy would suffer as a result.
In conclusion, the biotechnologist is likely to agree with Rochelle's side, as the risks of offshore oil drilling outweigh the potential benefits.

Explanation:
XYZ company is analyzing a proposed project. The company expects to sell 1,500 units, ±3 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $220 and the expected fixed costs are $438,000. Cost estimates are considered accurate within a ±2 percent range. The depreciation expense is $64,000. The sales price is estimated at $647 per unit, ±2 percent. What is the sales revenue under the worst-case scenario?

Answer:
a. -$99,500
b. -$162,000
Explanation:
a. Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest paid - (Ending long-term debt - Beginning long-term debt)
Cash Flow to Creditors = $95,500 - ($1,610,000 - $1,415,000)
Cash Flow to Creditors = $95,500 - $195,000
Cash Flow to Creditors = -$99,500
b. Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividends paid - [(Ending common stock + Ending additional paid-in surplus) - (Beginning common stock + Beginning additional paid-in surplus)]
Cash Flow to Stockholders = $148,000 - [($153,000 + $2,980,000) - ($143,000 + $2,680,000)]
Cash Flow to Stockholders = $148,000 - [$3,133,000 - $2,823,000] = $148,000 - $310,000
Cash Flow to Stockholders = -$162,000
