Answer: False
Explanation:
If Firm A's current ratio exceeds that of Firm B, it is still possible that B's quick ratio is larger than A's. If A's quick ratio is larger than B's however, then there is still a possibility that B's current ratio can be larger than A's.
The current ratio is the Current Assets divided by Current liabilities. The Quick ratio is Current Assets less inventory divided by Current liabilities.
B's current ratio can therefor be larger than A's if it has more inventory than A such that when we calculate the current ratio of B, the extra inventory would give it a higher current ratio than A.

The technical and socio-cultural dimensions of project management are two sides of the same coin. Explain
Indeed, the technical and socio-cultural dimensions of project management are two sides of the same coin. This is so because the project management is in charge of administering and managing the human and material resources of a specific project.
Thus, it must organize not only the resources but also the members of the company who are in charge of exploiting those resources and maximizing results.
Therefore, just as a technical face is required to organize resources, a socio-cultural and human approach is required that allows a better functioning of the human resources of the company.

Is an increase in the marginal income tax rate reflected by a shift in the after-tax supply of labor or a movement along the supply curve when the pretax wage rate is on the vertical axis?
Answer:
A shift in the supply curve of labour.
Explanation:
An increase in marginal income tax rate cause the income tax burden on a consumer to rise as the consumers income goes up.
What this means is that as his income gets to rise, he would have to pay more in taxes. Due to a rising change in what he pays as tax, what he would receive as income after tax would be lower at the same number of labor hours. On the labor supply curve this would depict a downward shift.
In conclusion, an increase in marginal tax would be shown by a shift in the after tax supply of labor which would fall backwards or downwards

Answer:
Progressive places the least burden on poor people
Proportional places the second highest burden
regressive places the most burden
Explanation:
Regressive tax system is a tax system where those that earn lower income pay more tax and those that earn higher income pay less tax.

In a competitive market with a linear upward-sloping supply curve and a linear downward-sloping demand curve, the government imposes a $10 tax per unit bought and sold. The tax causes the equilibrium quantity to fall from 89 units to 77 units. The deadweight :_______
Answer:
$105
Explanation:
Missing word "The deadweight loss of this tax is...?"
Change in price = $10
Original quantity = 89 units
New quantity = 77 unit
Change in quantity= 89 units-77 units = 12 units
Dead-weight loss = 1/2 * Change in price * Change in quantity
Dead-weight loss = 1/2 * $10 * $21
Dead-weight loss = $105
Therefore, the dead-weight loss of this tax is $105.
Your uncle has just purchased a wheat farm and wants your advice on how he should price his product. Explain to your uncle the characteristics of the market structure under which his farm falls and how this will help him to determine the price and quantity of the wheat he will produce.
Answer:
the wheat firm is perfectly competitive
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
he is a price taker and the price of his wheat which would be equal to equilibrium price would be determined by market forces
if he sells at the market price, he would sell all his wheat
Explanation:
If the uncle sells above equilibrium price, he would not sell any wheat
he cannot sell below equilibrium price because he would make losses

C1 C2 C3
Year 1 $12,000 $96,000 $180,000
Year 2 108,000 96,000 60,000
Year 3 168,000 96,000 48,000
Totals $288,000 $288,000 $288,000
Assume that the company requires a 12% return from its investments. Using net present value, determine which projects, if any, should be acquired.
Required:
Compute the internal rate of return for project C2.
Answer:
c3 should be acquired
8.52%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
C1
Cash flow in year 0 = $-228,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $12,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $96,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $180,000
I = 12%
NPV = -12,634.66
C2
Cash flow in year 0 = $-228,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 108,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $96,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 60,000
I = 12%
NPV = -12,334
IRR = 8.52%
C3
Cash flow in year 0 = $-228,000
Cash flow in year 1 = 168,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $96,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 48,000
I = 12%
NPV = 32,696.06
It is only c3 that has a positive NPV. Thus, it is the only profitable project. Only C3 should be accepted
To determine the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To determine the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
c2 = 12,334
c3 = 32,696.06

Compute Lead Time Jackson Fabricators Inc. machines metal parts for the automotive industry. Under the traditional manufacturing approach, the parts are machined through two processes: milling and finishing. Parts are produced in batch sizes of 40 parts. A part requires 6 minutes in milling and 8 minutes in finishing. The move time between the two operations for a complete batch is 5 minutes. Under the lean philosophy, the part is produced in a cell that includes both the milling and finishing operations. The operating time is unchanged; however, the batch size is reduced to 5 parts and the move time is eliminated. Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the traditional and lean manufacturing methods. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Traditional Philosophy Lean Manufacturing Philosophy Value-added time fill in the blank 1 min fill in the blank 2 min Non-value-added time fill in the blank 3 min fill in the blank 4 min Total lead time fill in the blank 5 min fill in the blank 6 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) fill in the blank 7 % fill in the blank 8 %
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Traditional philosophy:
Value added time = 6 + 8 = 14
Non-value-added time = 14 × (40-1) + 5 = 551
Total lead time = 14 + 551 = 565
Value-added ratio (as a percent) = 14/565 × 100 = 2.48%
Lean Manufacturing Philosophy:
Value added time = 14
Non-value-added time = 14 × (5-1) = 56
Total lead time = 14 + 56 = 70
Value-added ratio (as a percent) = 14/70 × 100 = 20%
stock a has an expected return of 20 and stock b has an expected return of 5. what is the expected return on a portfolio this comprised of 67^ of stock a and 33% stoc k b
Answer:
15.05%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the expected return on a portfolio
Using this formula
Expected return = (Return on stock A * Percentage invested in stock A) + ( Return on Stock B * Percentage invested in Stock B)
Let plug in the formula
Expected return= (20% * 67%) + (5% * 33%)
Expected return= 13.4% + 1.65%
Expected return= 15.05%
Therefore the expected return on a portfolio is 15.05%

Your company has an opportunity to invest in a project that is expected to result in after-tax cash flows of $7,000 the first year, $9,000 the second year, $12,000 the third year, -$8,000 the fourth year, $19,000 the fifth year, $25,000 the sixth year, $28,000 the seventh year, and -$6,000 the eighth year. The project would cost the firm $47,300. If the firm's cost of capital is 18%, what is the modified internal rate of return
Answer:
The modified internal rate of return is 15.67%.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the total present value of the after-tax cash flows.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total present value of the after-tax cash flows = $40,332.66
The modified internal rate of return (MIRR) can be calculated using the following formula:
MIRR = (PV / Outlay)^(1/n) * (1 + r) - 1……………….. (2)
Where;
PV = Total present value of the after-tax cash flows = $40,332.66
Outlay = Absolute value of cost of the project = $47,300
r = cost of capital = 18%, or 0.18
n = number of years = 8
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
MIRR = ($40,332.66 / 47,300)^(1/8) * (1 + 0.18) - 1 = 0.1567, or 15.67%
Therefore, the modified internal rate of return is 15.67%.
