A farmer plans to plant two crops, A and B. The cost of cultivating Crop A is $40/acre whereas the cost of cultivating Crop B is

$60/acre. The farmer has a maximum of $7400 available for land cultivation. Each acre of Crop A requires 20 labor-hours, and each acre of Crop B requires 25 labor-hours. The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labor-hours available. If she expects to make a profit of $170/acre on Crop A and $210/acre on Crop B, how many acres of each crop, x and y, respectively, should she plant in order to maximize her profit?

Answer:

We will plant 165 of Crop A

Explanation:

We will compare the marginal contribution for each crop:  A   B

Profit:                170.00     210

cost of cultivating:  40.00       60

CM per constrain      4.25            3.50

Crop A is better regarding cultivating cost.

Now we analize the labor hours:

Profit:                      170     210

Labor hours per crop 20       25

CM per constrain      8.50       8.40

Because Crop A is better at both constrain resource It will be better to plant only Crop A if possible. As assigning to Crop B will diminish the return on the scarce resourse.

We will see how much can we plant of Crop A

7400 / 40 = 185

3300 / 20 = 165

We will plant 165 of Crop A

which is the maximun we can plant at the given labor hours.

Three years ago, the U.S. dollar/euro exchange was 1.32 USD/EUR. Over the last three years, the price level in the United States
jeyben [28]

Answer:

A. increased, and Eurozone goods are now more expensive to U.S. customers

Explanation:

The exchange rate represents a link between domestic prices and foreign prices, so Three years ago, Price in the Eurozone was:

P1 (US)= 1.32 USD / EUR * P1 (Eurozone)

Now, after three years of inflation, the new prices are

P2 (US)= 1.18* P1 (US)

P2 (EUROZONE) = 1.12 *P1 (EUROZONE)

So, if we replace in the equation =

P2 (US)/1.18 = 1.32 * P2 ( EUROZONE)/1.12

P2 (US) = (1.32 * 1.18)/1.12 *P2 (EUROZONE)

P2 (US) = 1.39 P2 (EUROZONE)

As we can see, the teorical exchange rate should be 1.39 but we have a REAL exchange rate of 1.4, which is greater, the prices are now more expensive to US customers

For both companies compute the (a) profit margin ratio, (b) total asset turnover, (c) return on total assets, and (d) return on
VikaD [51]

Answer:

A) Profit Margin, Barco = 23.8%, Kyan = 22.1%

B) Asset Turnover, Barco = 1.83, Kyan = 1.84

C) ROA, Barco = 44%, Kyan = 41%

D) ROE, Barco = 66%, Kyan = 61%

E) Price-Earnings Ratio, Barco = 17.12 times, Kyan = 16.67 times

F) Dividend yield, Barco = 5.1%, Kyan = 5.2%

2B) Barco is the good investment.

Explanation:

Requirement A to Requirement F - See Images Below

2B) Barco company's share is the best from the two companies. From the Return on Asset, Return on Equity, and Price-earnings ratio, it is clear that Barco company's share is an upper hand. For example, P/E ratio of Barco is 17.12 times while Kyan's P/E ratio is 16.67 times. Therefore, I would recommend Barco company's stock should be the better investment.

The Two Dollar Store has a cost of equity of 11.9 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.2 percent, and the tax rate is 40
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: 9.03%.

Explanation:

Given: The Two Dollar Store has a cost of equity of 11.9 percent, the YTM on the company's bonds is 6.2 percent, and the tax rate is 40 percent.

Debt to equity ratio is .54

i.e. \dfrac{debt}{equity}=\dfrac{0.54}{1}\ ...(i)

Adding denominator to numerator on both the sides, we get,

\dfrac{debt+equity}{equity}=\dfrac{1.54}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{equity}{debt+equity}=\dfrac{1}{1.54}  

i.e. Weighted equity = \dfrac{1}{1.54}\ ....(ii)

From (i)

\dfrac{equity}{debt}=\dfrac1{0.54}\

Adding denominator to numerator on both the sides we get,

\dfrac{equity+debt}{debt}=\dfrac{1+0.54}{0.54}

\dfrac{equity+debt}{debt}=\dfrac{1.54}{0.54}

Thus, weight of debt=\dfrac{1.54}{0.54}

Now,

Weighted average cost of capital=(Weight of equity) × (cost of equity)+(Weight of debt)×(Cost of debt)×(1-tax rate)

\dfrac{1}{1.54}\times (0.119)+\dfrac{0.54}{1.54}\times(0.062)\times(1-0.40)\\\\=0.07727+0.02174(0.60)\\\\=0.07727+0.02174(0.60)\\\\=0.07727+0.013044\\\\=0.090314\approx9.03\%

Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 9.03%.

hammer [34]

Answer:

Dr interest expense $7,000

Dr notes payable $7,238

Cr cash                                     $14,238    

Explanation:

The first task is to compute interest expense on the loan in year 1 which is shown below:

interest expense=$100,000*7%

interest expense=$7,000

Principal repayment=repayment-interest repayment

Principal repayment=$14,238-$7,000=$7,238

The double entries are to debit interest expense and notes payable with $7,000 and $7,238 respectively while cash is credited with $14,238 as an outflow of cash.

Which of the following statements concerning the cash budget is CORRECT? a. Depreciation expense is not explicitly included, but
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

a. Depreciation expense is not explicitly included, but depreciation's effects are reflected in the estimated tax payments.

Explanation:

The cash budget is the budget that represents the receipts and payment of transactions held in cash

It includes the interest and dividend payment as it shows the outflow of cash if payment is made in cash

Moreover, it also affects the DSO and includes cash inflows with related to the long term sources such as issuance of bonds

But as we know that the depreciation is a non cash expense so it not much included but its effects are projected in the payment of tax
