EBIT = Sales - Costs - Depreciation
= 123,000 - 57,000 - 12,600
= $53,400
EBIT = EBT as no interest in question.
Tax = EBIT * Tax rate
= 53,400 * 35%
= $18,690
Operating cashflow = 53,400 + 12,600 - 18,690
= $47,310
Approach 2 ⇒ Top-down Approach= Sales - cost - tax
= 123,000 - 57,000 - 18,690
= $47,310
Approach 3 ⇒ Tax-Shield
= (Sales - Cost) * (1 - Tax rate) + (Depreciation * Tax rate)
= (123,000 - 57,000) * (1 - 35%) + (12,600 * 35%)
= $47,310
Approach 4 ⇒ Bottom-up= (Sales – Cost – Depreciation) * (1 - Tax rate) + Depreciation
= (123,000 - 57,000 - 12,600) * ( 1 - 35%) + 12,600
= $47,310

1. Using materials In the case and items to which you gain access through a search, describe how Aldi is creating competitive rivalry in the retail grocers' industry.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attachment file.
Aldi is a private company and has been found that around half of the mainstream companies are operating costs. In contrast with the rivals, Aldi operates with such a poor gross profit. Besides that, the cart is imprisoned by Aldi. It means that a customer only spends a half and returns their bags after they have been filled. I should note which Aldi only stores 14,000 products in its stocks but doesn't want excessive storage relative to many other retailers. This is a pleasant strategy so because limited choices or easy templates save people some time. Several of the brands are labeled every year with natural foods.

True or False: As players age, they generally experience a decline in performance, making their prospects of signing a lucrative free agent contract less likely.
Answer: True
Explanation:
As players age in most sports be it soccer, baseball, basketball and American football, their performance experiences a decline as their muscles get older. Its simply biological.
At this point, the players will no longer command the high prices they used to command as they would only contribute less to the success of the team. This means that their prospects of signing a lucrative free agent contract definitely becomes less likely.
Answer:
true
Explanation:
g each collectible ship requires one pint of high-quality paint at a cost of $25 per pint. considering increasing the selling prices of both models by 7.5%, which will cause volume of sales for both models to decrease by 12%. all other expenses would remain constant. should management implement this change and what is the best explanation
Answer:
Increasing the sales price is a bad idea since total revenues will decrease.
Explanation:
The question is incomplete since we are not given the information about other costs, but we are given enough information to calculate the price elasticity of demand:
PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = -12% / 7.5% = -1.6 or |1.6| in absolute terms.
Since the PED is |1.6|, it is price elastic. This means that a change in price will result in a proportionally larger change in quantity demanded. E.g. assume original price is $100 and the original quantity demanded is 100. Total revenue = $10,000. If the price increases to $107.50, the quantity demanded will decrease to 88, resulting in a total revenue of $9,460.
True or False: The date line of a balance sheet depicts a specific day and not a period of time.

A sole proprietorship, a corporation (Subchapter S and Subchapter C) and an LLC are three common entities that are employed by entrepreneurs when starting a business. When weighing the advantages and disadvantages of these three entities, which do you think is the more advantageous business formation for an entrepreneur? Why? Feel free to suggest an alternate business entity if you so desire, but be specific as to why your choice would be better.
Answer:
The more advantageous business formation for an entrepreneur is:
A sole proprietorship.
Explanation:
Easy to start and simple to operate is the sole proprietorship, suitable for an innovative entrepreneur. It provides a better option for a low-risk business, with no additional taxation of income. Since an entrepreneur creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards, the sole proprietorship form of business provides the best starting point before he or she can join with others.
Discuss the causes of changes in a currency swaps value over time. Is it possible to close out a currency swap before it reaches maturity
Answer: When a swap is agreed on by both parties involved, a cash flow of bonds in different currencies are agreed upon to be exchanged.
Explanation:
The cash flows of two bonds in separate currencies are negotiated upon to be traded when a swap is initiated. At the existing spot exchange rate, these bond-like cash flows have the same present value. Evidently, shifts in the exchange rate change the value of one side of the swap relative to the value of the other side of the swap. Furthermore, interest rate rises reduce the present value of currency.
The current value of cash flows is increased by flows and decreases in interest rates. Changes in interest rates and exchange rates thus offer meaning to currency swaps.
One side is triumphant and the other loses. By making the party that lost money in the swap pay this amount to the party that has gained value in the swap, it is possible to close a swap.
Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and services imported from other countries. This activity is important because it will help you to understand the effects of trade protectionism on the overall international trading atmosphere.
Required:
Challenge your knowledge of the different types of international trade barriers.
Answer:
Solar ⇒ Tariffs
Tariffs are taxes on imported goods such that their prices are increased so that the domestic producers of that good can be able to compete with the imports which is the case here.
Numbers ⇒ Import Quotas
Import Quotas refer to limits on the amount of imports into a country. When the imports reach a certain amount they will be no more imports for the year.
Aluminium ⇒ Import Quotas
By only allowing a certain number of sheets to come into the country the US has imposed an import quota on the metal as per the definition above.
Materials ⇒ Embargoes and Sanctions
Embargoes and sanctions limit the trade of goods and services to the country under sanctions or being embargoed. Here the US will not ship goods to North Korea as they are under sanctions for their nuclear program.
Prohibition ⇒ Embargoes and Sanctions
This scenario describes an embargo which means that there is a ban on trade of certain goods and services with the nation under embargo.
Imports ⇒ Tariffs
Customs duties are taxes on imports which therefore makes them tariffs.
the area of a rectangle is 600 cm2 and its breadth is two-third of its length find the length and breadth of the rectangle
Given:
Area of a rectangle is [tex]600 \text{cm}^2[/tex].
Breadth is two-third of its length.
To find:
The length and breadth of the rectangle .
Solution:
Let x cm be the length of the rectangle.
Then, Breadth or width of the rectangle = [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x[/tex] cm
Area of a rectangle is
[tex]Area=Length \times Breadth[/tex]
[tex]600=x \times \dfrac{2}{3}x[/tex]
[tex]600=\dfrac{2}{3}x^2[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3.
[tex]1800=2x^2[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]900=x^2[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides.
[tex]\pm \sqrt{900}=x[/tex]
[tex]\pm 30=x[/tex]
Length cannot be negative. So, x=30.
Now,
Length = [tex]30\text{ cm}[/tex]
Breadth = [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}\times 30\text{ cm}[/tex]
= [tex]2\times 10\text{ cm}[/tex]
= [tex]20\text{ cm}[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 30 cm and the breadth is 20 cm.
When a process is in control, it results in there being, on average, 16 defects per unit of output. c-chart limits of 8 and 24 would lead to a
Answer:
4.56%
Explanation:
From the given information:
In a c-chart limit
UCL = [tex]\bar c+ z \times \sqrt{\bar c }[/tex]
where;
[tex]\bar c = 16[/tex]
UCL = 24
Then:
[tex]24 = 16 + z \times \sqrt{24}[/tex]
[tex]24 -1 6 = z \times \sqrt{24}[/tex]
[tex]8 = z \times 4.89[/tex]
[tex]z = \dfrac{8}{4.89}[/tex]
z [tex]\simeq[/tex] 2.0
At z = 2.0, the value represents the probability of 95.44% of not making a Type 1 error.
This implies that the probability of making a Type 1 error = 1 - 95.44%
= 4.56%

Assume the following information from a schedule of cost of goods manufactured: Cost of goods manufactured $ 158,000 Beginning work in process inventory $ 26,800 Direct materials used in production $ 50,000 Manufacturing overhead applied to work in process $ 90,000 Total manufacturing costs added to production $ 200,000 What is the ending work in process inventory
Answer:
$68,800
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the ending work in process inventory
Using this formula
Ending work in progress = Beginning work in progress + Total manufacturing cost added to production - Cost of goods manufactured
Let plug in the formula
Ending work in progress =$26,800+$200,000-$158,000
Ending work in progress=$68,800
Therefore the ending work in process inventory will be $68,800

P=$150(1-1/1.03)^10/0.03
The equation above gives the present value,P, of an investment that pays the investor $150 per year for1010years. The present value is the dollar amount that is equal to the series of future payments. If the payments are changed from $150 to $75, what is the effect on the present valueP?
a. the present value stays the same
b. the present value is halved
c. the present value doubles
d. the present value increases by 3%
Answer: b. the present value is halved
Explanation:
The present value of the investment is based on several things including the future payments. If these payments were to be halved from $150 to $75, the entire present value would be halved as well.
Present Value= 150 * (( 1 - (1 / 1.03) ) ^10) / 0.03
= $1,279.53
Present Value = 75 * (( 1 - (1 / 1.03) ) ^10) / 0.03
= $639.77
Notice how the present value when the payments are $75 is half that of the present value at $150.
A company had net income of $40,000, net sales of $300,000, and average total assets of $200,000. Its profit margin and total asset turnover were respectively:
Select one:
a. 13.3%; 0.2.
b. 13.3%; 1.5.
c. 2.0%; 1.5.
d. 1.5%; 0.2.
e. 1.5%; 13.3.
Answer:
a. 13.3%; 0.2.
Explanation:
Profit margin can be expressed as a ratio or a percentage. It is also called the gross profit ratio
The formula for gross margin
= net income/ net sales x 100
= $40,000/ $300,000 x 100
=13.33%
The formula for calculating asset turnover ratio is net sales divide by
average total assets.
=Net sales/ average total sales
=$40,000/$200,000
=0.2

- QUOTAIn early 2018, selected automobiles had an average cost of $20,000. The average cost of those same motor vehicles is now $24,000. What was the rate of increase for this item over this time period
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
Calculation for What was the rate of increase for this item over this time period
Using this formula
Rate of increase= (Ending avarage cost − Beginning avarage cost )/ Beginning avarage cost
Let plug in the formula
Rate of increase= ($24,000 − $20,000) / $20,000
Rate of increase= $4,000/$20,000
Rate of increase= 0.2*100
Rate of increase= 20%
Therefore the rate of increase for this item over this time period is 20%
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of making the 73,000 starters instead of buying them from an outside supplier
Answer: Financial advantage of $43,800
Explanation:
The cost to make the starters:
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Supervisor salary
= (6 * 73,000) + (3 * 73,000) + ( 0.6 * 73,000) + (1.90 * 73,000)
= $839,500
Cost to buy them = 73,000 * 12.10
= $883,300
Financial advantage (disadvantage) to making them = 883,300 - 839,500
= $43,800

Tania really enjoyed the salads sold at her local grocery store, so she purchased five of them to eat throughout the week. The first salad is delicious, and Tania eats it quickly, looking forward to the next one. The second day, the next salad is also good. By the third day, some of the ingredients in the next salad are starting to go bad, and by the fourth day, Tania cannot bring herself to eat any more and throws away the remaining salads. Which statement would be unlikely in economic terms?
a. Tania achieved utility maximization with her purchase of five salads.
b. Tania would achieve higher marginal utility by eating something other than the fourth salad.
c. Tania would achieve higher marginal utility if she purchased fewer salads.
d. Tania's marginal benefit was higher for the first two salads than the third and fourth.
Answer:
a. Tania achieved utility maximization with her purchase of five salads.
Explanation:
Maximising individual satisfaction is the main aim in an economy.
Utility is a measure of the degree of satisfaction that a person gets from consuming a good.
In the given scenario Tania bought 5 salads and enjoyed only 2. She had to throw away the remaining because of spoilage.
In economic terms she would have been better of purchasing fewer salads for example if she only did 2 salads her utility will be maximised.
She is also better off consuming something else than the fourth salad. She derived no satisfaction from the fourth salad as she had to throw it away.
As she enjoyed the first two salads her marginal utility is higher with them than for the ones she did not consume.
However to state that she achieved maximum utility with purchase of the 5 salads is wrong because she only consumed 2 and had to throw the rest away

The net decrease in Prepaid Expenses (Prepaid) amounts to $30,000 and the net decrease in Accounts Payable (AP) is $20,000. Assuming no inventory provision involved, what is the net effect of Inv and AP on the adjustments to Net Income if the indirect method is used in the Statement of Cash Flows
Answer:
Net decrease in prepaid expenses of $30,000 will be added to the net income in adjustments to net income because it will be considered that working capital (inventory or any other expense) has been generated by the operations.
Net decrease in Accounts payable of $20,000 will be deducted from net income in adjustments to net income because decrease in accounts payable means that cash has been paid to the outstanding payables.
Net effect of the above transactions is $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000
So, net income will be increased by $10,000 as net effect of the above adjustments.
A newly formed firm must decide on a plant location. There are two alternatives under consideration: locate near the major raw materials or locate near the major customers. Locating near the raw materials will result in lower fixed and variable costs compared to locating near the market, but the owners believe there would be a loss in sales volume because customers tend to favor local suppliers. Revenue per unit will be $179 in either case. Revenue per unit will be $183 in either case. Using the following information, determine which location would produce the greater profit.
