Least-Squares Regression [LO5-11] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Bargain Rental Car offers rental cars in an off-airport location near a major tourist destination in California. Management would like to better understand the variable and fixed portions of its car washing costs. The company operates its own car wash facility in which each rental car that is returned is thoroughly cleaned before being released for rental to another customer. Management believes that the variable portion of its car washing costs relates to the number of rental returns. Accordingly, the following data have been compiled:
Month Rental Returns Car Wash Costs
January 2,400 $ 11,000
February 2,500 $ 13,100
March 2,700 $ 11,800
April 3,000 $ 14,300
May 3,600 $ 16,200
June 5,000 $ 23,300
July 5,500 $ 22,200
August 5,500 $ 22,200
September 4,700 $ 22,800
October 4,000 $ 21,100
November 2,200 $ 10,700
December 2,800 $ 14,200
Using least-squares regression, estimate the variable cost per rental return and the monthly fixed cost incurred to wash cars. (Round Fixed cost to the nearest whole dollar amount and the Variable cost per unit to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate this:

the least squares regression line:

y = a + bx

y = $2,752 + 3.87x

where y = total cash wash costs and x = rental returns

fixed costs = $2,752 per month

variable cost = $3.87 per car washed

When the Segway Human Transporter was introduced in 2002, many people expected the product to be a phenomenal success. While the Segway is still on the market, it has never been the success so many expected. A recent Wall Street Journal article suggested that the Segway, while brilliant technologically, seemed impractical to most people since it could not be used to replace their current method of transportation. In other words, the Segway had problems with:

Answers

Answer:

compatibility

Explanation:

In marketing, compatibility refers to how well a product or service matches the markets' values, expectations and needs. Will customers accept the new product or service and use it, or they will not.

A great example of lack of compatibility is the tablet sold by Microsoft in year 2000. It was a financial disaster and really few people even know that the product was offered and even less people actually ever bought it. Customers had no use for tablets in year 2000, but magically Steve Jobs sold millions a few years later. One might think that Apple products are superlative compared to Microsoft's products, but that isn't enough to explain such a failure.

Steve Jobs believed that customers didn't know what they needed, and if you offered a good enough product, they would like it, buy it and use it. Of course, the product that you are selling must be able to satisfy your customers' needs, even if they didn't realize it at first.

But Microsoft struggled to show their customers (in year 2000 Microsoft was the largest company in the world) that they could actually use their tablets to satisfy some type of need. If a company's customers do not realize that a product will satisfy some type of need, they are not going to buy it.

The same happened here. The segway was supposed to be a great innovation, and if the company had done things correctly it probably could have been. The problem with the segway is that it was meant to replace walking, and for short distances really. It was based on the same logic as a remote control for a TV, only that customers never realized it that way.

Jim borrowed 10,000 from Bank X at an annual effective rate of 8%. He agreed to repay the bank with 5 level annual installments at the end of each year. At the same time, he also borrowed 15,000 from bank Y at an annual effective rate of 7.5%. He agreed to pay the bank this loan with 5 level annual installments at the end of each year. He lent the 25,000 to Wayne immediate in exchange for 4 annual level repayments at the end of each year, at an annual effective rate of 8.5%. Jim can only reinvest the proceeds at an annual effective rate of 6%. Immediately after repaying the loans to the banks in full, determine how much Jim has left.

Answers

Answer:

$373.43

Explanation:

the cash outflows associated to the first loan are 5 level payments of $2,504.56 each (= $10,000 / 3.992717 PV annuity factor, 8%, 5 periods).

the cash outflows associated to the second loan are 5 level payments of $3,707.47 each (= $15,000 / 4.048857 PV annuity factor, 7.5%, 5 periods).

total cash outflows associated to both loans = $6,212.03

inflows associated with investment are 4 level payments of $7,632.20 each (= $25,000 / 3.275596 PV annuity factor, 8.5%, 4 periods).

net cash flow year 1 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 = $1,420.17

net cash flow year 2 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 + ($1,420.17 x 1.06) = $2,925.55

net cash flow year 3 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 + ($2,925.55 x 1.06) = $4,521.25

net cash flow year 4 = $7,632.20 - $6,212.03 + ($4,521.25 x 1.06) = $6,212.70

net cash flow year 5 = ($6,212.70 x 1.06) -  $6,212.03 = $373.43

Purple Company is a C corporation and the corporation pays Kirsten a salary of $158,000.Kirsten's after-tax income is _____

Answers

Answer:

a. Kristen's taxable income = $148,000

her tax liability:

($38,700 - $9,525) x 12% = $3,501

($82,500 - $38,701) x 22% = $9,635.78

($148,000 - $82,501) x 24% = $15,719.76

total = $28,856.54

Kristen's after tax income = $200,000 - $28,856.54 = $171,143.46

b. Purple's corporate tax liability = $200,000 x 21% = $42,000

Purple's after tax income = ($200,000 - $42,000) = $158,000

Kristen's taxable income is $146,000 (qualified dividends are included in AGI but taxed at different rate), her tax rate will be 15%. Kristen's after tax income = $158,000 - ($146,000 x 15%) = $136,100

c. Kristen's tax liability on ordinary income ($158,000) = $28,376.54

Kristen's tax liability on qualified dividends = ($42,000 x 0.79) x 15% = $4,977

total tax liability = $33,353.54

Kristen's after tax income = $158,000 + $33,180 - $33,353.54 = $157,826.46

You would be making a wise decision if you chose to:________.

b. assume all loans and investments are based on simple interest.
c. accept the loan with the lower effective annual rate rather than the loan with the lower annual percentage rate.
d. invest in an account paying 6 percent, compounded quarterly, rather than an account paying 6 percent, compounded monthly.
e. ignore the effective rates and concentrate on the annual percentage rates for all transactions.

Answers

Answer:

c. accept the loan with the lower effective annual rate rather than the loan with the lower annual percentage rate.

Explanation:

In the above scenario it will be a good financial decision to choose a loan with lower effective rate than the one with lower percentage rate.

Effective rate is defined as the real interest rate on a loan or the actual amount that is to be repaid annually on a loan. It gives a truer picture of cost of borrowing money.

Percentage rate is interest paid on a loan expressed as a percentage of the total amount collected. It usually includes various fees and charges collected by the lender. So it is not a true reflection of the cost of borrowing

Answer:

c. accept the loan with the lower effective annual rate rather than the loan with the lower annual percentage rate.

Explanation:

The effective annual rate is the actual rate of interest that you will have to paid on the loan. The effective annual rate takes into account the compounding interest over the loan's period of time.

An annual percentage rate can be either nominal (without taking compounding into account), or effective. For this reason, to make sure that you are making the most rational decision, you should take the loan with the lower effective annual rate, because the lower annual percentage rate may be either nominal or effective.

Total assets    $1000               Total liabilities  and equity          $1000

AFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))

A/S: $500 / $1,000 = 0.50 ΔSales = $1,000  L/S = $250 / $1,000 = 0.25PM = 0.08 FS = $2,000 1 - d = 1 - 30% = 0.70

AFN = (0.5 x $1,000) - (0.25 x $1,000) - (0.08 x $2,000 x 0.7) = $500 - $250 - $112 = $138

Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio invested half in Business Adventures and half in Treasury bills. The return on bills is 3%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a.

expected holding returns:

boom = [($50 + $2) - $40] / $40 = 30%

normal = [($44 + $1.40) - $40] / $40 = 13.5%

recession = [($34 + $0.70) - $40] / $40 = -13.25%

expected return = (30% x 1/3) + (13.5% x 1/3) - (13.25% x 1/3) = 0.1 + 0.045 - 0.044 = 0.101 = 10.1%

variance = 1/3(30 - 10.1)² + 1/3(13.5 - 10.1)² + 1/3(-13.25 - 10.1)² = 132 + 3.85 + 181.74 = 317.59

standard deviation = √317.59 = 17.82%

T-bills = 3%

expected return = (30% x 1/6) + (13.5% x 1/6) - (13.25% x 1/6) + (3% x 1/2) = 0.05 + 0.0225 - 0.022 + 0.015 = 0.0655 = 6.55%

For the past two years, Swen Johannsen, owner/general manager of Swen's Fine Duds, a local men's clothing store, has fought to stay in business. In the face of increasing competition, Swen has tried several tactics: aggressively promoting price-slashing sales to drive his competitors' customers to his doors; attempting to cut costs by leveling out sales and inventory through seasonal sales; as well as lining up contracts with wholesalers in advance of seasonal rushes (e.g., summer swimwear) to prevent inventory depletion. He has even recruited the president of the chamber of commerce to sit on his board. None of these tactics have been successful. Now, Swen is considering a deviation from his current business to one that might be more suitable, perhaps a formal wear/tuxedo rental and retail shop or a boutique Western wear store. Swen is using _____ as his final tactic.

Answers

Answer:

Swen is using product/service repositioning strategy.

Explanation:

Product Repositioning simply refers to the art of altering the target markets perception of one's product and or services.

Swen is still in the clothing business. He has only changed the way he delivers it to the target consumers.

Of course, this sometimes calls for a change in product mix (which refers to altering the type of products being offered). However, the central idea of the strategy still holds as customers now see the business differently.

This type of strategy is easier to pull off for start-ups, or unpopular businesses trying to make a comeback. Where the business is a well-established brand, it can prove extremely difficult and may be costly.

Assume selected financial data for Sun Health Group and Select Medical Corporation, two companies in the health-care industry, are as follows: ($ in millions) Net Sales Beginning Accounts Receivable Ending Accounts Receivable Sun Health $ 3,630 $ 300 $ 287 Select Medical 3,940 499 438 Required: 1-a. Calculate the receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for Sun Health and Select Medical. (Round Average accounts receivable to 1 decimal place. Enter your answers in millions.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for Sun Health and Select Medical is shown below:-

For Sun health

Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)

= $3,630 ÷ (($300 + $287) ÷ 2)

= $3,630 ÷ 293.5

= 12.4 times

Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio

= 365 ÷ 12.37 times

= 29.5 days

For Sun medical

Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)

= $3,940 ÷ (($499 + $438) ÷ 2)

= $3,940 ÷ 468.5

= 8.4 times

Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio

= 365 ÷ 8.41 times

(Hint: Write out the headings for an income statement, and then fill in the known values. Then divide $18 million of net income by (1 - T) = 0.75 to find the pretax income. The difference between EBIT and taxable income must be interest expense. Use this same procedure to complete similar problems.) Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answers

Answer:

Interest expense  $13,100,000

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense is shown below:

EBIT                        $37,100,000 (a)

Less: Interest expense  $13,100,000 (a - c)

EBT($18,000,000 ÷ 0.75) $24,000,000  (c)

Less: Taxes $6,000,000  (c - e)

Net income $18,000,000 (e)

In this way the interest expense is computed

hence, the interest expense is $13,100,000

3. What is the opportunity cost of our military spending?

Answers

Answer:

Today SIPRI estimated that global military expenditure in 2015 was $1676 billion, about 2.3% of the world's total Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Such high levels of spending frequently raise concerns as to the 'opportunity cost' involved in military spending—the potential civilian uses of such resources that are lost.

Hughes Corporation is considering replacing a machine used in the manufacturing process with a new, more efficient model. The purchase price of the new machine is $150,000 and the old machine can be sold for $100,000. Output for the two machines is identical; they will both be used to produce the same amount of product for five years. However, the annual operating costs of the old machine are $18,000 compared to $10,000 for the new machine. Also, the new machine has a salvage value of $25,000, but the old machine will be worthless at the end of the five years. You are deciding whether the company should sell the old machine and purchase the new model. You have determined that an 8% rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all operating costs are paid at the end of the year. For this initial comparison you ignore the effect of the decision on income taxes. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) Required: 1. What is the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine

Answers

Answer:

50,000

Explanation:

Hughes Corporation can calculate the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine by just deducting the sales proceeds from the cost of the new machine.

DATA

New machine = $150,000

Old machine = 100,000

Cash outflow per year (18,000 - 10,000) = 8,000

Salvage value = 25,000

Annuity factor = 8%

Solution

Incremental Cash outflow = Cost of new machine - Sales proceeds from old machine

Incrementa Cash outflow =  150,000 - 100,000

Incremental Cash outflow = $50,000

One of his largest suppliers of surf boards notified him just last month that they would no longer extend him credit and he would have to pre-pay all of his orders. He puts a call into his accountant to set up a meeting with her to discuss the financial health of his business

A. Income taxes separated for continuing and discontinued operations.
B. Income taxes reported for income and gains only.
C. All income taxes combined into one line item.
D. None of these answer choices are correct.

Answers

Answer: Income taxes separated for continuing and discontinued operations

Explanation:

the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021, Foxtrot Co. would report income taxes separated for continuing and discontinued operations.

Discontinued operations are a segment of the core business of a company which has been shut down or in certain situations divested and are separately reported on the income statement of the company from the continuing operations.

The reason why discontinued operations have to be listed separately is to enable investors to differentiate between profits from continuing operations and the activities that aren't functioning anymore.

Answers

Answer:

The interest expense company recorded during Year 2 on the 7% debentures is $27,535,600

Explanation:

As the interest expense is different from the interest payment made on the debenture. It also includes some other costs. Effective interest rate includes the effects of all related costs of debentures. So the interest expense of a debenture will base the effective interest rate of the debenture.

We can calculate the Interest expense on 7% debtures as below

Interest Expense = Value of Debenture x Effective interest rate

Interest Expense = $188,600,000 x 14.6%

Interest Expense = $27,535,600

Answers

Answer: Systematically go through the six steps of the decision-making process

Explanation:

Programmed decisions are routine and repetitive. In other words, these are decisions that one need not think about as they require and follow the same procedure in making them.

By systematically going through the six steps of the decision-making process, Susanne will save time as the process makes decision making programmable. By following the steps systematically, she would be making programmed decisions as they follow the same steps and therefore making them faster.

On January 1, 2021, Maywood Hydraulics leased drilling equipment from Aqua Leasing for a four-year period ending December 31, 2024, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to Aqua. The equipment cost Aqua $412,184 and has an expected economic life of five years. Aqua expects the residual value at December 31, 2024, to be $50,000. Negotiations led to Maywood guaranteeing a $70,000 residual value. Equal payments under the lease are $100,000 and are due on December 31 of each year with the first payment being made on December 31, 2021. Maywood is aware that Aqua used a 5% interest rate when calculating lease payments.
