A bridge on a prominent public roadway in the city of Springfield, Ohio, was deteriorating and in need of repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Bridges by Madison LLC, owned and managed by Madison Mason and his wife, May Mason, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Pablo Hand, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal designs, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Bridges by Madison and Hand then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Bridges by Madison agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Hand agreed to install the metalwork at his expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent to Hand and 75 percent going to Bridges by Madison. Hand designed numerous metal pig sculptures that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by May Mason, while Madison Mason performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the completion of the project. Suppose Hand had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that he could work on his sculptures near the location at which they would eventually be installed. He entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Bridges by Madison. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Bridges by Madison was bound by the contract that Hand entered? Help please here is the multiple choices

Answer: a. [tex]X[a_{n} -v^{n} a_{m} ][/tex]

Explanation:

The Present Value of the perpetuity for Seth is denoted by;

= [tex]X * a_{n}[/tex] because Seth receives it for n years.

The Present Value of the perpetuity for Susan is denoted by;

=  [tex]Xv^{n} * a_{m}[/tex] because it is the value after n periods multiplied by the payments received for m periods.

The result is;

= [tex]X * a_{n}[/tex]  - [tex]Xv^{n} * a_{m}[/tex]

= [tex]X[a_{n} -v^{n} a_{m} ][/tex]

Answer:

4.15%

Explanation:

In order to determine the annual saving we must divide the extra cost of the hybrid by the amount of years it takes to recoup our investment.

annual savings = $4,180 / 11 years = $380 per year

our initial investment = -$4,180

since we are going to use the car during 15 years, then we have 15 positive cash flows of $380

using a financial calculator or excel spreadsheet, the internal rate of return (IRR) on our investment = 4.15%

Answer:

The answer is $1,027.6 million

Explanation:

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Sales(cost of goods sold)

Gross profit = $818.8 million

Sales of $1,846.4 million.

To find Cost of Sales, we rearrange the formula to now be:

Sales - Gross profit

$1,846.4 million - $818.8 million

=$1,027.6 million

Therefore, Skechers' Cost of sales for 2018 is $1,027.6 million

Answer:

$3,992.73

Explanation:

For computing the annual cash flow we need to apply the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $39,000

Future value or Face value = $0

RATE = 6.5%

NPER = 16 years

The formula is shown below:  

= PMT(RATE;NPER;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula, the annual cash flow is $3,992.73

Answer:

The value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:

Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)

Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)

Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:

dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)

dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X .......................................................  (5)

In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:

0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X

0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4

0.98X = 15.6

X = 15.6 / 0.98

X = 15.92

Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is 15.92.

Cost Reduction #1 Priority

True

Explanation:

For supply chain companies to achieve their profit targets, they need to curtail costs.  Consumers are not ready to absorb much costs as they are presented with low-priced alternatives.  The competition for customers among supply chain organizations is very high.  Everyone competes for the dollar the consumer is willing to spend on goods.  With property and advertising costs skyrocketing, careful management of the cost structure is required.

The question is incomplete:

A consumer values a car at $30,000 and a producer values the same car at $20,000. If the transaction is completed at $24,000, what level of sales tax will result in unconsummated transaction?

a. 0%

b. 25%

c. 20%

d. 40%

Answer:

d. 40%

Explanation:

The unconsummated transaction would occur when the price that the customer has to pay is higher than the value that he gave to the car. According to that, the answer would be the tax that would increase the final price to more than $30,000:

0%: $24,000

25%: 24,000*1.25= $30,000

20%: 24,000*1.20= $28,800

40%: 24,000*1.40= $33,600

The answer is that the amount of tax will result in an unconsummated transaction is 40%.

Answer: d. Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities—those performed by suppliers, those performed in- house, and those performed by distributors/dealers

Explanation:

The cost disadvantage is from the forward channel allies and not an across the board problem which involves all value chain activities. As such, the solution should be garnered towards the forward channel allies.

Insisting on cuts in areas that could be already functioning efficiently could lead to a loss of that efficiency.

Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities is therefore not an option for remedying a cost disadvantage associated with activities performed by forward channel allies.

This firm's Shut down price, That is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down is $40.

Explanation:

Shut down point is the point at which a firm or business is not able to gain any profit or benefit from the operations. Firm try to stay in the market until they reach the shut down point in business. It is a point where a business revenue just covers the variable expenses.

Answer:

1. This firm have the profit maximizing output level of 1400 units because a firm in any industry will maximize profit where MR=MC. Here MR is equal to MC at the output level of 1400. So profit maximizing level of output is 1400 units.

2.  Economic profit = Total revenue - total cost.

Where, Total revenue = Quantity * price

= 1400 * 7

= $9,800  

Total variable cost = AVC * quantity

= 6.50 *1400

= $9,100

Total fixed cost = AFC * quantity

= 0.80 * 1400

= $1,120

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total variable cost   - Total fixed cost

Economic profit = $9,800 - $9,100 - $1,120

Economic profit = -$420

. The  firm is having economic loss equal to 420.

Conclusion: This firm is facing economic loss in its output.

Answer:

The company should recognize a $800 loss.

Explanation:

Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset over its useful life, and because of the accrual principle, this depreciation is matched, as an expense, with the revenues that the asset produces in a specific period of time.

In this case, the company has expensed $17,200 over the computer system useful life. When the computer system was finally discarded, $800, representing the difference between the accumulated depreciation and the original cost of the system, where not expensed. For this reason, this $800 have to be recognized as a loss.

Answer:

YTM = 7.77%

YTC = 7.62%

Explanation:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = {90 + [(1,000 - 1,130.35)/18]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]

YTM = 82.758333 / 1,065.175 = 0.07769 = 7.77%

YTC = {coupon + [(call value - market value)/n]} / [(call value + market value)/2]

YTC = {90 + [(1,060 - 1,130.35)/8]} / [(1,000 + 1,130.35)/2]

YTC = 81.20625 / 1,065.175 = 0.07623 = 7.62%

Answer:

a. long-run equilibrium.

Explanation:

In the circumstances that the structural unemployment rate is 1.7 percent, the frictional unemployment rate is 2.6 percent, and the economy's current unemployment rate is 3.9 percent. Then we can say that the economy is in a long-run equilibrium.

Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.

Frictional unemployment is a form of unemployment which is voluntary because employees which to change jobs or move to another better job.

Hence, the economy is in a long-run equilibrium because the rate of unemployment has become constant, thus, prices and wages will be adjusted in order to reach wages equilibrium level.

Answer:

The cross elasticity of demand is zero

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.

If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be  negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.

If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity  of demand between them would be  positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.

Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.

Nominal rate of return= 7.11%

Explanation:

Inflation is the increase in the price level.It erodes the value of money.rise in the price of money  

Nominal interest is that quoted for investment or loan transactions. It has not been been adjusted for inflation.  

Real interest rate is the amount of interest in terms of the the quantity of good and services that can be purchased. It is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.  

The relationship between inflation, real interest and nominal interest rate is given using the Fishers Effect;  

N = ( (1+R) × (1+F)) - 1  

N- nominal rate, R-real rate, F- inflation  

real rate - 2.2%, inflation - 4.8%

Nominal rate of return =(1.022)× (1.048) - 1 = 0.071056

Nominal rate of return = 0.071056 × 100 = 7.1056 %

Nominal rate of return= 7.11%
