Answer:
d. The cash budget must be prepared prior to the sales budget because managers want to know the expected cash collections on sales made to customers in prior periods before projecting sales for the current period.
Explanation:
- From the statements the cash budget must be prepared in advance to the sales budget is not corrects. As the sales budget is prepared first and it establishes a format for the budget that is critical for the company successes and it thus consists of the different elements that depend in how a business is organized.
Answer:
Consider a Caribbean cruise route served by two cruise lines, Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Both lines must choose whether to charge a high price ($320) or a low price ($300) to vacationers. These price strategies with corresponding profits are illustrated in the payoff matrix to the right. Carnival's profits are in red and Royal Caribbean's are in blue. Suppose the cruise lines decide to collude. At which outcome are joint profits maximized?
Joint profits are maximized when Carnival picks $320 and Royal Caribbean picks $320.
Explanation:
When Carnival picks $320 and Royal Caribbean picks $320, then joint profits are maximized.
Nash equilibrium would exist only when Royal chooses $300 and the carnival chooses $300.
However, if both Carnival and Royal Caribbean charge a lower price, both of them can earn a higher profit.
Answer:
$93,940.85
Explanation:
Adjusted present value is the sum of net present value of after tax cash flow and net present value of tax shield.
First compute after tax cash flow:
Cash inflow = $478,000
Cash cost = 68% of $478,000 = $325,040
Pre-tax profit = 478,000 - 325,040 = $152,960
Tax = 34 %
After tax cash flow = 152,960 (1 - 0.34) = $100,953.60
Net present value of after tax cash flow = 
= 
= $25,940.85
Present value of tax shield = Amount of debt × tax rate
= 200,000 × 0.34
= $68,000
Adjusted present value = 28,940.85 + 68,000
= $93,940.85
Answer:
3,825.2 labor hours
Explanation:
Learning rate (Unit 1 and unit 2):
= Labor hour required for 2nd unit ÷ Labor hour required for 1st unit
= 1,200 ÷ 2,000
= 0.60
Learning rate (Unit 2 and unit 3):
= Labor hour required for 3rd unit ÷ Labor hour required for 2nd unit
= 1,130 ÷ 1,200
= 0.94
Average of learning rates = (0.60 + 0.94 ) ÷ 2
= 0.77
As per learning curve calculator the value of 77% for 6 units = 4.0776
Cumulative time = Factor × Time of first unit
= 4.0776 × 2,000
= 8,155.2
Hence,
Time for next three units:
= Cumulative time - Sum of the time of first, second and third unit
= 8,155.2 - (2,000 + 1,200 + 1,130)
= 3,825.2 labor hours should Simpson plan for.
