Answer:
C. the price is below the average variable cost curve.
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.
Hence, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;
1. Perfect information.
2. No barriers, it is typically free.
3. Equilibrium price and quantity.
4. Many buyers and sellers.
5. Homogeneous products.
Some examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.
A perfectly competitive firm shuts down in the short run when the price it is selling its goods (products) in the market is below the average variable cost curve.
This ultimately implies that, a business firm should only continue to be in operation when its price is above or greater than its average variable costs based on the shutdown rule.
The most recent price activity in this chart is a quadruple top breakout. The box size is $0.50 and the reversal size is three boxes. What is the price objective for the breakout using the horizontal count method?a. $19.00b. $21.50c. $12.50d. $22.00
Answer:
a. $19.00
Explanation:
Note: The graph is as attached below
The low of the column where a quadruple top breakout occurs is $8.5 and width is 7 and box size is 0.5
The width of the pattern is 7 which is multiplied by 0.5 which is the box size and the reversal size of 3 for an Extension estimate (7 x 0.5 x 3 = $10.5).
Now, $10.5 is added to the low of the column and hence price objective is $10.5 + $8.5 = $19

The Backwoods American company in Problem 2.1 produces approximately 20,000 parkas annually. The quality management program the company implemented was able to improve the average percentage of good parkas produced by 2% each year, beginning with 83% good-quality parkas in 2012. Only about 20% of poor-quality parkas can be reworked.
Total (not per parka) direct manufacturing cost is given below:
Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Direct Manufacturing Cost $420,900 $423,400 $424,700 $436,100 $435,500
A) Compute the product yield for each of the five years.
B) Using a rework cost of $12 per parka, determine the manufacturing cost per good parka for each of the five years. What you can you conclude about the improvement process?
Answer:
a. 2003 product yield = 20,000(0.83) + 20,000 (1 - 0.83)(0.20)
= 16,600 + 680
= 17,280 parkas
2004 product yield = 20,000*(0.85) + 20,000*(0.15)(0.20)
= 17,000 + 600
= 17,600 parkas
2005 product yield = 20,000*(0.87) + 20,000*(0.13)(0.20)
= 17,400 + 520
= 17,920 parkas
2006 product yield = 20,000*(0.89) + 20,000*(0.11)(0.20)
= 17,800 + 440
= 18,240 parkas
2007 product yield = 20,000*(0.91) + 20,000*(0.09)(0.20)
= 18,200 + 360
= 18,560 parkas
b. 2003 manufacturing cost per good parka = 420,900 + 12*(20,000)(0.17)(0.20) /17,280
= 420,900 + 12 (680) / 17,280
= 429,060 /17,280
= $24.83
2004 manufacturing cost per good parka = 423,400 + 12*(600) /17,600
= 430,600 /17,600
= $24.47
2005 manufacturing cost per good parka = 424,700 + 12*(520) / 17,920
= 430,940 /17,920
= $24.05
2006 manufacturing cost per good parka = 436,100 + 12*(440) / 18,240
= 441,380 /18,240
= $24.20
2007 manufacturing cost per good parka = 435,500 + 12 *(360) /18,560
= 439,820 / 18,560
= $23.70

The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the annual required rate of return is 9.57%
The Greenback Store’s cost structure is dominated by variable costs with a contribution margin ratio of 0.25 and fixed costs of $40,000. Every dollar of sales contributes 25 cents toward fixed costs and profit. The cost structure of a competitor, One-Mart, is dominated by fixed costs with a higher contribution margin ratio of 0.75 and fixed costs of $440,000. Every dollar of sales contributes 75 cents toward fixed costs and profit. Both companies have sales of $800,000 for the month. Required: a. Compare the two companies’ cost structures. b. Suppose that both companies experience a 15 percent increase in sales volume. By how much would each company’s profits increase?
Answer:
Greenback Store One-Mart
Amount % Amount %
a. Sales $800,000 100% $800,000 100%
Variable cost $600,000 75% $200,000 25%
Contribution margin $200,000 25% $600,000 75%
Fixed cost $40,000 5% $440,000 55%
Operating profit $160,000 20% $160,000 20%
Break even point $160,000 $586,666.67
Workings
Greenback Store Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = 40,000 / 0.25 = 160,000
One-Mart Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = 440,000 / 0.75 = 586,666.67
b. Greenback Store
Increase in sales = $800,000*15% = $120,000
Company profit Increase by + (Increase in sales * Contribution margin ratio = 120,000 * 25% = $30,000
Thus, with the increase in 15% of sales of Greenback Store, the profit of the company increase by $30,000
One-Mart
Increase in sales = $800,000*15% = $120,000
Company profit Increase by + (Increase in sales * Contribution margin ratio = 120,000 * 75% = $90,000
Thus, with the increase in 15% of sales of One-Mart , the profit of the company increase by $90,000.
Tatum can borrow at 7.15 percent. The company currently has no debt and the cost of equity is 11.55 percent. The current value of the firm is $670,000. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. What will the value be if the company borrows $385,000 and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) Value of the firm __________
Answer:
$766,250
Explanation:
The value of the firm is calculated as follows:
Value of firm = Current value + (Borrowing *Tax rate)
Value of firm = $670,000 + ($385,000*25%)
Value of firm = $670,000 + $96,250
Value of firm = $766,250
The value of the firm will be $766,250 if it borrows $385,000 and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares.

The following transactions were completed by the company. The company completed consulting work for a client and immediately collected $7,000 cash earned. The company completed commission work for a client and sent a bill for $5,500 to be received within 30 days. The company paid an assistant $2,150 cash as wages for the period. The company collected $2,750 cash as a partial payment for the amount owed by the client in transaction b. The company paid $1,000 cash for this period's cleaning services. Required: Enter the impact of each transaction on individual items of the accounting equation. (Enter decreases to account balances with a minus sign.)
Answer:
The Company
The Impact of Each Transaction on the Accounting Equation:
1. Assets (Cash + $7,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $7,000)
2. Assets (Accounts Receivable + $5,500) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $5,500)
3. Assets (Cash -$2,150) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$2,150)
4. Assets (Cash +$2,750 Accounts Receivable -$2,750) = Liabilities + Equity
5. Assets (Cash -$1,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings -$1,000)
Explanation:
The Company applies the accounting equation, which states that Assets = Liabilities + Equity. With each transaction, the accounting equation is demonstrated as shown above. This means that each transaction that is properly recorded affects the accounting equation in two ways. Note that the accounting equation is the basis for the double-entry system of financial accounting.

Geralds manufacturing firm sold goods worth $6000 to some customers on credit in the month of January. His customers plan to pay him the entire amount at once in March. Gerald plans to record and recognize this income in the business’s accounts in March. Which accounting method does Geralds business follow?
His business follows the (________) method of accounting.
Answer:
Cash accounting method
Explanation:
The cash accounting method records receipts and expenses during the period in which cash changes hands. In this method, revenue will be recorded when payment from a customer is received. Expenses are not recorded unless money is paid out. In short, revenues and expenses are recognized and recorded only when cash is received or paid.
Cash accounting contrasts with the accrual accounting system, which recognizes revenues and expenses when their respective events occur.

dividend is expected to grow at 7% forever. The share currently sells for $25.
Corporation has a debt-equity ratio of 50%. Its cost of debt is 8%, before taxation,
taxation rate is 30%.
What is the weighted average cost of capital of Corporation?
Answer:
The weighted average cost of capital of Corporation is 11.4%
Explanation:
Now use following formula to calculate the weighted average cost of equity
WACC = ( Weight of equity x Cost of equity ) + ( Weight of debt x Cost of debt (after tax ) )
Weight
Equity = 100%
Debt = 50%
Cost
First we need to calculate the cost of equity using CAPM formula
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta x ( Market risk premium )
Placing values in the formula
Cost of equity = 8% + 0.90 x 7%
Cost of equity = 14.3%
Cost of debt = 8%
Cost of debt (after tax ) = 8% x ( 1 - 30% ) = 5.6%
Placing values in the formula of Weighted average cost of capital
WACC = ( ( 100%/150% ) x 14.3% ) + ( ( 50% / 150% ) x 5.6% )
WACC = 9.53% + 1.87%
WACC = 11.4%
Tri-coat Paints has a current market value of $41 per share with earnings of $3.64. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 9%?
Answer:
the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) is $0.56
Explanation:
The computation of the present value of growth opportunities is shown below:
= Price per share - (Earnings ÷ required rate of return)
= $41 - ($3.64 ÷ 9%)
= $41 - $40.44
= $0.56
hence, the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) is $0.56
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
A series of monthly cash flows is deposited into an account that earns 12% nominal interest compounded monthly. Each monthly deposit is equal to $2,100. The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015. The account also has equivalent quarterly withdrawals from it. The first quarterly withdrawal is equal to $5,000 and occurred on October 1, 2008. The last $5,000 withdrawal will occur on January 1, 2015. How much remains in the account after the last withdrawal?
Answer:
The amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945
Explanation:
The first monthly deposit occurred on June 1, 2008 and the last monthly deposit will be on January 1, 2015 = 80 deposit
Monthly deposit = 2,100
Interest rate = 12% / 1% per month
Firstly, we calculate the future worth of the monthly deposit
FW = A(F/A, i, n)
A = 2,100, i = 1%, n= 80
FW = $2100*[(1+0.01)^80 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*[2.216715 - 1 / 0.01]
FW = $2100*(121.671)
FW = $255,509.10
We calculate the effective interest rate
i(effective) = (1 + i nominal monthly interest rate)^n - 1
i `%, n = 3(no of months in quarter)
i (effective) = (1+0.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = (1.01)^3 - 1
i (effective) = 1.030301 - 1
i (effective) = 0.030301
i (effective) = 3.0301%
The effective quarterly interest rate is 3.0301%
We calculate the future worth of the quarterly drawings
FW = A[(1+i)^n - 1 / i]
A = 5,000(drawing), i = 3.0301%, n = 26(number of drawings)
FW = 5,000*[(1+0.030301)^26 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*[2.17303717 - 1 / 0.030301]
FW = 5,000*(38.71282)
FW = $193,564.10
The future worth of the quarterly withdrawal is $193,564.10
We calculate the amount left in the account after last withdrawal
Amount left in account = FW(monthly deposits) - FW(quarterly drawings)
Amount left in account = $255,509.10 - $193,564.10
Amount left in account = $61,945
Thus, the amount left in the account after last withdrawal is $61,945
Steady Company’s stock has a beta of 0.20. If the risk-free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 7%, what is an estimate of Steady Company’s cost of equity?
Answer:
the estimation of the cost of equity is 7.4%
Explanation:
The computation of the estimation of the cost of equity is shown below:
Here we used the Capital Asset Pricing model formula i.e.
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × market risk premium
= 6% + 0.20 × 7%
= 6% + 1.4%
= 7.4%
Hence, the estimation of the cost of equity is 7.4%
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

In 2010, real GDP was $13.2 trillion and nominal GDP was $14.6 trillion. What was the GDP deflator for that year?a. 9.6% lower b. 9.6% higher c. 10.6% lower . d. 10.6% higher
Answer:
d. 10.6% higher
Explanation:
Given that;
Real GDP = $13.2 trillion
Nominal GDP = $14.6 trillion
GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP/Real GDP)× 100)
Hence,
GDP deflator = (14.6 / 13.2 ) × 100
GDP deflator = 110.6%
Thus,
= 110.6 - 100
= 10.6% higher
