1 answer:

8 0

<span>This is a specialty store. These types of stores typically cater to a specific clientele, and typically have expertise in a narrow area. Unlike big-box retailers, these specialty stores will more often have a specific product category and will only offer products that fit that description, instead of an all-encompassing line of offerings.</span>

Minimization of Shipping Costs to 3 Customers from 4 Locations:

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Shipping Costs per unit Plant Customer

c. $7125

Plants Customers

Production 1 2 3 Total

Demand units 75 units 100 units 175 units 350 units

A 100 units $25 $35 $15

B 100 units $20 $30 $40

C 100 units $40 $35 $20

D 50 units $15 $20 $25

To minimize shipping costs:

Satisfy Customer 1's 75 units from B = $20 x 75 = $1,500

Satisfy Customer 2's 25 units from B = $30 x 25 = 750

Satisfy Customer 2's 25 units from C = $35 x 25 = 875

Satisfy Customer 2's 50 units from D = $20 x 50 = 1,000

Satisfy Customer 3's 100 units from A = $15 x 100 = 1,500

Satisfy Customer 3's 75 units from C = $20 x 75 = 1,500

Daily minimum shipping cost = $7,125

Minimizing the shipping cost to a location is not considered in isolation. The other locations must be considered. For example, customer 1's shipping cost would have been minimized to $1,250 instead of $1,500 by shipping D's 50 units and B's 25 units. But, this would have increased the shipping cost to customer 2 by $500 from $2,625 to $3,125. Whereas, the company lost $250 shipping to customer 1, it gained $500 shipping to customer 2, thereby making a net gain of $250, instead of net loss of $250.

Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 45% debt, 4% preferred stock, and 51% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

TurnBull's Weighted Average cost of capital is higher by 1.07% if the used common Equity to raised the capital.

Explanation:

First, using the WACC formula and using Retained earnings cost of Capital. we get the following outcome.

WACC = Debt W x after tax cost of Debt + Preferred Stock weight x Cost of capital + Equity W x Cost of Capital

WACC = 45% x 8.33% + 4% x 12.20% + 51% x 14.70% =

WACC = 3.75% + 0.49% + 7.50% = 11.73%

Second, using the WACC formula and using common equity cost of Capital. we get the following outcome.

WACC = Debt W x after tax cost of Debt + Preferred Stock weight x Cost of capital + Equity W x Cost of Capital

WACC = 45% x 8.33% + 4% x 12.20% + 51% x 16.80% =

WACC = 3.75% + 0.49% + 8.57% = 12.80%

Increase Cost using common equity over Retained earnings is (12.80% - 11.73% ) = 1.07%

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

13.33%

Explanation:

Income from operations $400,000

Interest expense 47,000

Gains/(losses) on sale of equipment 3,000

Net income 350,000

Total assets at Jan. 1 2,600,000 Total assets at Dec .31 3,400,000

the formula used to calculate return on investment (ROI) is:

ROI = income from operations / average total assets

ROI = $400,000 / {($2,600,000 + $3,400,000) / 2} = $400,000 / $3,000,000 = 0.1333 or 13.33%

Return on investment measures the profitability of an investment during a period of time.
