Decruitment is the planned elimination of ________ in an organization. A) jobs
B) managerial hierarchy C) cross-functional teams D) departments
Answer:
C) cross-functional teams
Explanation:
Human resources management (HRM) can be defined as an art of managing, controlling and improving the number of people (employees or workers), functions, activities which are being used effectively and efficiently by an organization.
Hence, human resources managers are saddled with the responsibility of recruiting, downsizing, decruiting, managing and improving the welfare and working conditions of the employees working in an organization.
A cross-functional team can be defined as a group that comprises of employees from different functional areas within an organization.
Decruitment is the planned elimination of cross-functional teams in an organization.
This ultimately implies that, decruitment is a method adopted by human resource managers to reduce the number of various employees (workforce) working in an organization.
Similarly, downsizing refers to the planned elimination of jobs (job positions) existing in an organization.

Come and Go Bank offers your firm a discount interest loan with an interest rate of 9 percent for up to $21 million, and in addition requires you to maintain a 2 percent compensating balance against the face amount borrowed.
What is the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Effective annual rate= %
Answer: 10.11%
Explanation:
The effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement will be calculated thus:
Interest Paid will be:
= 9% × $21 million
= 0.09 × $21 million
= $1.89 million
Amount Received will then be:
= (21million - 1.89million) - (21million)(0.02)
= $19.11 million - $0.42 million
= $18.69 million
Then, the effective annual rate will be:
= 1.89/18.69
= 10.11%
Therefore, the effective annual interest rate on this lending arrangement is 10.11%.

Short Company purchased land by paying $27,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $27,000 for each of the next seven years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 7%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $27,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to:_________.
a. $117,700.
b. $189,000.
c. $145,511.
d. $172,511.
Answer:
c. $145,511
Explanation:
Present value of Payment = Amount*PVADF at (7%, 1)
Present value of Payment = $27.000*6.38929
Present value of payment = $172.511
Liabilities reported after initial payment = $172,511 - $27,000
Liabilities reported after initial payment = $145,511
XYZ Industries makes heavy construction equipment. The standard for a crane calls for 20 direct labor-hours at $24 per direct labor-hour. During a recent period 875 cranes were made. The labor efficiency variance was $1,200 Unfavorable. How many actual direct labor-hours were worked
Answer:
17,550
Explanation:
Labor efficiency variance = Standard rate * (Actual hours - Standard hours)
$1200 = $24 * (Actual hours - 875*20)
50 = Actual hours - 17,500
Actual hours = 17,500 + 50
Actual hours = 17,550
So, the actual direct labor-hours which were worked is 17,550.
Consider the case of Cranked Coffee Company:
Cranked Coffee Company is a mature firm that has a stable flow of business. The following data was taken from its financial statements last year:
Annual sales $10,200,000
Cost of goods sold $6,630,000
Inventory $3,200,000
Accounts receivable $2,200,000
Accounts payable $2,400,000
Cranked Coffee’s CFO is interested in determining the length of time funds are tied up in working capital. Use the information in the preceding table to complete the following table. (Note: Use 365 days as the length of a year in all calculations, and round all values to two decimal places.)
Value
Inventory conversion period 46.93; 41.71; 176.71; or 39.11
Average collection period 27.25; 78.73; 24.38; or 22.94
Payables deferral period 32.50; 41.07; 33.24; or 132.13
Cash conversion cycle 39.62; 122.77; 37.54; 45.88
B: Both the inventory conversion period and payables deferral period use the average daily COGS in their denominators, whereas the average collection period uses average daily sales in its denominator. Why do these measures use different inputs?
Inventory and accounts payable are carried at cost on the balance sheet, whereas accounts receivable are recorded at the price at which goods are sold.
Current assets should be divided by sales, but current liabilities should be divided by the COGS.
C. Is there generally a positive or negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle?(In other words, if a firm has a high level of net working capital, is it likely to have a high or low cash conversion cycle?)
There is a positive relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
There is a negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
D. What are the four key factors in a firm’s credit policy?
Credit terms, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
Credit period, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
E. If the credit terms as published by a firm were 2/15, net 60, this means the firm will:
allow a 2% discount if payment is received within 15 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
allow a 15% discount if payment is received within 2 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
F. The management at Cranked Coffee Company wants to continue its internal discussions related to its cash management. One of the finance team members presents the following case to his cohorts:
Case in Discussion
Cranked Coffee Company’s management plans to finance its operations with bank loans that will be repaid as soon as cash is available. The company’s management expects that it will take 40 days to manufacture and sell its products and 35 days to receive payment from its customers. Cranked Coffee’s CFO has told the rest of the management team that they should expect the length of the bank loans to be approximately 75 days.
Which of the following responses to the CFO’s statement is most accurate?
The CFO is not taking into account the amount of time the company has to pay its suppliers. Generally, there is a certain length of time between the purchase of materials and labor and the payment of cash for them. The CFO can reduce the estimated length of the bank loan by this amount of time.
The CFO’s approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 75 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.
Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
It has a minor effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
Answer:
Cranked Coffee Company
A. Cash conversion cycle = 122.77 days.
B. The measures use different inputs because:
Inventory and accounts payable are carried at cost on the balance sheet, whereas accounts receivable are recorded at the price at which goods are sold.
C. There is a negative relationship between net working capital and the cash conversion cycle.
D. Credit period, discounts, credit standards, and collection policy
E. If the credit terms as published by a firm were 2/15, net 60, this means the firm will:
allow a 2% discount if payment is received within 15 days of the purchase, and if the discount is not taken the full amount is due in 60 days.
F. The most accurate response to the CFO's statement is:
The CFO’s approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 75 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.
G. Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual sales $10,200,000
Cost of goods sold $6,630,000
Inventory $3,200,000
Accounts receivable $2,200,000
Accounts payable $2,400,000
Inventory conversion period = Inventory ÷ (Cost of sales ÷ 365)
= $3,200,000/$6,630,000 * 365
= 176.17 days
Average collection period = Accounts receivable/Sales * 365
= $2,200,000/$10,200,000 * 365
= 78.73 days
Payables deferral period = Accounts payable/Cost of goods sold * 365
= $2,400,000/$6,630,000 * 365
= 132.13 days
Cash conversion cycle = Inventory conversion period + Average collection - Payables deferral period
= 176.17 + 78.73 - 132.13
= 122.77
A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,500,000 and can be sold for $715,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Hint: 1. Find the remaining book value at the end. 2. Subtract this from the expected sale price to find the gain on sale. 3. Apply the tax rate to this gain to find the taxes owed. 4. The after-tax salvage value is the sale price minus the taxes.
a) $715,000.
b) $752,468.
c) $540,444.
d) $677,532.
e) $471,900.
Answer:
d) $677,532.
Explanation:
1.
Written down value of the equipment after 4 years = Cost x ( 100% - 1st year MACRS - Second-year MACRS - Third-year MACRS - Fourth-year MACRS ) = $3,500,000 x ( 100% - 20% - 32% - 19.20% - 11.52% ) = $604,800
2.
Now calculate the gain on the sale of equipment
Gain on the sale of equipment = Sale Price - Written down Value after 4 years = $715,000 - $604,800 = $110,200
3.
Tax owed = Gain on the sale x Tax rate = $110,200 x 34% = $37,468
After-tax salvage value = Sales price - Tax = $715,000 - $37,468 = $677,532
1. Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. If the company instead expects to produce and sell 26,000 units for the year, calculate the expected level of income from operations.
2. Refer to information QS 1. Assume that actual sales for the year are $480,000, actual variable costs for the year are $112,000, and actual fixed costs for the year are $145,000 Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the year.
Answer:
Brodrick Company
1. The expected level of income from operations is:
= $266,000.
2. Flexible Budget Performance Report for the year
Flexible Actual Variance
Budget Budget
Sales revenue $480,000 $480,000 $0
Variable costs 96,000 112,000 $16,000 U
Fixed costs 150,000 145,000 5,000 F
Net operating income $234,000 $223,000 $11,000 U
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected production units = $20,000
Expected sales based on 20,000 units = $400,000 at $20 per unit
Variable costs = $80,000 at $4 per unit
Fixed costs = $150,000
Expected sales based on 26,000 units
Expected level of income from operations:
Sales revenue = $520,000 ($20 * 26,000)
Variable cost = 104,000 ($4 * 26,000)
Fixed cost = 150,000
Net income = $266,000
Actual sales revenue for the year = $480,000 (24,000 * $20)
Actual variable costs = 112,000 (24,000 * $4.67)
Actual fixed costs = 145,000
Net operating income = $223,000

Problems and Applications Q8 Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 4.3 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $1.50. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price
We already have the percentage change in quantity demanded as -4.3%.
We need to find the percentage change in price using the midpoint method.
= (New price - Old price) ÷ ((New Price + Old price) / 2)
Old price = 1.50 - 0.25 = $1.25
Percentage change in price = (1.50 - 1.25) ÷ ((1.50 + 1.25) / 2)
= 18.18%
Price elasticity of demand = -4.3% / 18.18%
= -0.24
According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. TRUE.
The statement is true because the price elasticity of demand here is Inelastic and when this is the case, revenue rises when the price of the good or service increases.
The price elasticity of demand is inelastic when it is less than 1 which is the case here.
Goodwill arises when one firm acquires the net assets of another firm and pays more for those net assets than their current fair value. Suppose that Target Co. had operating income of $1,215,000 and net assets with a fair value of $5,400,000. Takeover Co. pays $8,100,000 for Target Co.’s net assets and business activities.
Required:
a. How much goodwill will result from this transaction?
b. Calculate the ROI for Target Co. based on its present operating income and the fair value of its net assets.
c. Calculate the ROI that Takeover Co. will earn if the operating income of the acquired net assets continues to be $180,000.
d. What reasons can you think of to explain why Takeover Co. is willing to pay $300,000 more than fair value for the net assets acquired from Target Co.?
Answer:
A. $2,700,000
B. 22.5%
C. 2.22%
D. Target Co was a profit making company
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine How much goodwill will result from this transaction
Goodwill=$8,100,000- $5,400,000
Goodwill=$2,700,000
Therefore the goodwill that will result from this transaction is $2,700,000
b. Calculation to determine the ROI for Target Co.
Using this formula
Return on investment = Operating income / Net assets * 100
Let plug in the formula
Return on investment=$ 1,215,000 /$5,400,000 * 100
Return on investment= 22.5%
Therefore the ROI for Target Co is 22.5%
c. Calculation to determine the ROI that Takeover Co.
Using this formula
Return on investment = Operating income / Net assets * 100
Let plug in the formula
Return on investment= $180,000 / 8,100,000 * 100
Return on investment=2.22%
Therefore the ROI that Takeover Co is 2.22%
d. Based on the information given the reason
why TAKEOVER CO. is willing to pay the amount of $300,000 more than the FAIR VALUE for the NET ASSETS that was ACQUIRED from Target co., was because Target Co was a profit making company.
The supplies account had a beginning balance of $1,693. Supplies purchased during the period totaled $4,413. At the end of the period before adjustment, $445 of supplies were on hand. Prepare the adjusting entry for supplies. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Answer:
Debit Supplies expense $5,661
Credit Supplies account $5,661
Explanation:
At the time of purchasing supplies, the entries includes a debit to supplies accounts, and a credit to cash or accounts payable which is dependent on whether the cash purchased was done via cash or an account
For supplies used, debit supplies expense and credit supplies account. The movement in supplies account over a period is due to purchases and its expressed as;
Opening balance + Purchases - Supplies used = closing balance
$1,693 + $4,413 - Supplies used = $445
$6,106 - Supplies used = $445
Supplies used = $6,106 + $445
Supplies used = $5,661

A company had the following information taken from various accounts at the end of the year:
Sales discounts $ 41,000
Deferred revenues $ 32,000
Total revenues $ 459,000
Purchase discounts $ 15,000
Sales allowances $ 35,000
Accounts receivable $ 205,000
What was the company's net revenues for the year?
Answer:
Net Revenue = $383000
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for net revenue:
Net revenue = Total revenue - Sales discount - sales allowances
Given Total revenue = 459000
Sales discount = 41000
Sales allowances = 35000
Net Revenue = 459000 - 41000 - 35000
Net revenue = 459000 - 76000

What are the types of model risk
The predicted 2017 costs for Gamma Motors are as follows: Manufacturing Costs Selling and Administrative Costs Variable $250,000 Variable $600,000 Fixed 450,000 Fixed 300,000 Average total assets for 2017 are predicted to be $5,000,000. If the company desires a 10 percent rate of return on total assets, what is the markup percentage on total manufacturing costs for the desired profit
Answer: 200%
Explanation:
First find the return required.
= 10% of total assets
= 10% * 5,000,000
= $500,000
The total manufacturing costs are:
= 250,000 + 450,000
= $700,000
We need to know the amount to increase the manufacturing costs by so that it covers both the desired return and the admin costs:
= (Desired return + Admin costs) / Manufacturing costs * 100%
= (500,000 + 600,000 + 300,000) / 700,000 * 100%
= 200%
