e week after she died in 1962, a bunch of fresh flowers that the former baseball player thought appropriate for the star cost about $6. Based on actuarial tables, "Joltin' Joe" could expect to live for 25 years after the actress died. Assume that the EAR is 11.4 percent. Also, assume that the price of the flowers will increase at 3.3 percent per year, when expressed as an EAR. Assuming that each year has exactly 52 weeks, what is the present value of this commitment?

Answer: $3,338.56.

Explanation:

Given, EAR = 11.4 percent =0.114

Weekly interest rate=\dfrac{EAR}{\text{Number of weeks in a year}}=\dfrac{0.114}{52}=0.00219

Growth rate of price of flowers = 3.3 % per year

Weekly growth rate=\dfrac{0.033}{52}=0.00063

Star Cost (C)= $6

Time period (t)= 25 years

= 25 x 52 = 1300 weeks

Required formula for growing annuity :

PV=\dfrac{C}{r-g}[1-(\dfrac{1+g}{1+r})^t],

where C = Star cost

r = rate per period

g= growth rate

t = time period

PV=\dfrac{6}{0.00219-0.00063}[1-(\dfrac{1+0.00063}{1+0.00219})^{1300}]\\\\=\dfrac{6}{0.00156}[1-(0.998443408934)^{1300}]\\\\=(3846.15384615)[1-0.13197471131]\\\\=(3846.15384615)(0.86802528869)\approx\$3338.56

Hence, the  present value of this commitment = $3,338.56.

$69,840

Explanation:

Data provided;

Month        Budgeted Sales

January      $120,000

February    $108,000

March         $132,000

April            $144,000

Target ending inventory levels = 30% = 0.3

Therefore,

Purchases budgeted for January total

= ( $120,000 × 0.6 ) + ( $108,000 × 0.6 × 0.3 ) - $21,600

= $72,000 + $19,440 - $21,600

= $69,840

The Southern Corporation manufactures a single product and has the following cost structure: Variable costs per unit: Production
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

d. $1,600 less than under absorption costing.

Explanation:

The computation of the carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing is shown below:

But before that first we have to determine the unit cost which is

Unit fixed manufacturing overhead

= $96,320 ÷  6,020

= $16

Now the difference is

= Unit fixed manufacturing overhead × Change in inventory in units

= $16 × (6,020 units - 5,920 units)

= $1,600 less than under absorption costing.

The business judgment rule is important because it reflects the principle that ________, not _________, have the greatest latitu
Shalnov [3]

Answer: d. company directors; shareholders

Explanation: The conduction and management of a business usually involve making controversial decisions or taking actions that might put the business at risk. In a general sense, greater profits calls for greater risks. As such, the business judgement rule states that the board of directors should be allowed to make such decisions without fear of prosecution by shareholders who might object while acknowledging that managers are not capable of making optimal decisions at all times. The rule therefore aid in protecting a business's board of directors from slight legal allegations about the conduct of business. It is thus important because it reflects the principle that company directors, not shareholders, have the greatest latitude to run companies.
