Answer:
d. $1.69 and $1.65
Explanation:
Basic EPS = Net income ÷ Common share outstanding
Where, Net income = $7,121
Common shares outstanding = 4,221
So, Basic EPS = $7,121 ÷ 4,221
= $1.69
Diluted EPS = Net income ÷ Weighted dilutive share
Where, Weighted dilutive share = 4,305
So, Diluted EPS = $7,121 ÷ 4,305
= $1.65
Hence, $1.69 and $1.65 is the correct answer.

Suppose there are only two firms that sell smartphones: Flashfone and Pictech. The payoff matrix that follows shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its phones. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfone prices low and Pictech prices high, Flashfone will earn a profit of $10 million and Pictech will earn a profit of $3 million. (Hint: Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfone and Pictech are both profit-maximizing firms.) Pictech High Price Low Price Flashfone High Price 8, 8 3, 10 Low Price 10, 3 5, 5 If Flashfone prices high, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Flashfone prices low, Pictech will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. If Pictech prices high, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses alow price, and if Pictech prices low, Flashfone will make more profit if it chooses ahigh price. Considering all of the information given, pricing highis not a dominant strategy for both Flashfone and Pictech. What is the Nash equilibrium of this game
Answer:
Flashfone and Pictech
The Nash equilibrium is achieved when Pictech and Flashfone price their smartphones high without the other party changing their strategy.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Pictech
High Low
High 8 8 3 10
Flashfone
Low 10 3 5 5
b) By acting at the Nash equilibrium and pricing their smartphones high, Pictech and Flashfone achieve a payoff of $8 million respectively. This payoff level does not put any of the two firms at a disadvantage.
On December 31, 2020, the Bennett Company had 105,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, 2021, the company sold 18,000 additional shares for cash. Bennett's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $580,000. During 2021, Bennett declared and paid $77,000 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share
$4.40 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
Earning per share = (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (Weighted average of number of shares)
where,
Net income is $640,000
Preference dividend is $72,000
And, the weighted average number of share is
= 120,000
Suppose the selling price of one-month forward Japanese yens is $0.010499 per yen, and the spot price is $0.010495 per yen. Complete the following formula for the per annum percentage premium (or discount) to calculate what the yen is worth in the one-month forward market.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
The per annum forward premium = [tex]\dfrac{Forward \ price - spot \ price}{spot \ price} \times \dfrac{12}{1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{0.010499 - 0.010495}{0.010499} \times \dfrac{12}{1}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{0.000004}{0.010495} \times 12[/tex]
[tex]= 0.0003811 \times 12[/tex]
= 0.004573
= 0.4573%
Since this is positive and because it is favorable, the price of the yen would rise in the one-month forward market making it premium.
We can conclude that: The yen is at premium against US dollar, due to the fact that it is worth more in one-month forward market.
The following is a report from a not-very-efficient BLS survey taker: "There were 105 people in the houses I visited. 26 of them were children under the age of 16, 25 people had full-time jobs, and 13 had part-time jobs. There were 10 retirees, 5 full-time homemakers, 12 full-time students over age 16, and 3 people who were disabled and cannot work. The remaining people did not have jobs, but all said they would like one. Eight of these people had not looked actively for work for three months, however." Find the labor force, the working-age population, the number of employed workers, and the number of unemployed workers.
Answer:
1. The labor force = 65 (68 - 3)
2. The working age population = 79 (105 - 26)
3. The number of employed workers = 38 (25 + 13)
4. The number of unemployed workers = 3 (11 - 8)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Population in houses visited = 105
Number of children = 26
Number of adults = 79 (105 - 26)
Workers with:
Full-time jobs = 25
Part-time jobs = 13 38
Number of retirees = 10
Full-time homemakers 5
Full-time students, +16 12 65
Disabled people = 3 = 68
Unemployed = 11 (79 - 68)

Alice worked for Fountain Valley, Inc., a corporation that manufactured baby supplies. According to her employment contract with the corporation, Alice was to be paid $78,000/year plus a 5% bonus of all sales in excess of the previous 12 months sales. The corporation sold baby supplies worth $200,000 in 2017 more than in 2016. Alice was then terminated at the end of December 2017. Is Alice entitled to a bonus of $10,000
Question Completion with Answer Options:
A. Yes, according to the terms of her contract.
B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.
C. No, according to the at-will termination provision in her contract.
D. No, because subsequent conduct of the parties modified the contract.
Answer:
Fountain Valley, Inc. and Alice
B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.
Explanation:
Alice is entitled to the bonus of $10,000 because the duty of good faith and fair dealing requires Fountain Valley not to deny Alice the benefits arising from their valid contract. Since Alice's employment contract included a 5% bonus of all sales in excess of the previous 12 months' sales, the Fountain Valley, Inc. should not deny Alice's claim to the benefits.
b) Employment contract terms = $78,000/year plus 5% bonus of all sale in excess of the previous 12 months' sales. The value of sales in 2017 is $200,000 more than in 2016. 5% of $200,000 = $10,000. Therefore, Alice is entitled to the bonus.

The actuarial gains or losses that result from changes in the projected benefit obligation are called Group of answer choices Liability Gains & Losses None of the above Asset or Liability Gains & Losses Asset Gains & Losses
Answer: Liability Gains & Losses
Explanation:
The Projected Benefit Obligation refers to the present value of the amount that a company owes its employees as pension if its employees retire with the company so this is a liability to the company.
If this PBO is to change therefore and actuarial gains or losses are recorded from this change, they would affect the liabilities of the company and would therefore have to be referred to as liability gains and losses.
In 2022 the Splish Brothers Inc. had net credit sales of $1020000. On January 1, 2022, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance of $23100. During 2022, $34200 of uncollectible accounts receivable were written off. Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables (percentage-of-receivables basis). If the accounts receivable balance at December 31 was $242000, what is the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2022
Answer:
$35,300 (Credit)
Explanation:
Given that;
Allowance = 10% × $242,000 = $24,200
Amount written off of $34,200 would have made the balance in the allowance for doubtful debts
= $34,200 - $23,100
= $11,100 (Debit)
However, the balance in the account at the end of the year should amount to $24,200 hence the adjustment required
= $24,200 + $11,100
=$35,300 (Credit)

= ($14,272 - $8,622) ÷ (4,650 - 2,390)
= $2.50
Now the Fixed Cost is
= $14,272 - 4,650 × $2.50
= $2,647
Now the total estimated cost is
= $2,647 + 2,690 × $2.50
= $9,372
he nature of B2B markets requires ________. Group of answer choices companies to focus primarily on selling products that end up as components for finished goods a more personal relationship between the buyer and seller than in B2C markets investment of more resources primarily on service sectors impersonal communication at regular intervals through mediums such as direct mail organizations to invest more on consumers than suppliers to maintain their bus
Answer:
a more personal relationship between the buyer and seller than in B2C markets
Explanation:
B2B (business-to-business) is a marketing strategy that deals with meeting the needs of other businesses, by selling products or services to the organizations for resale to other consumers, used in production of goods or for the operation of an organisation.
B2B (business-to-business) model focuses on facilitating sales transactions between businesses.
Under the B2B, the producer sells its products directly to other businesses such as wholesalers or retailers and not the end consumers.
On the other hand, the B2C market involves businesses selling their goods and services directly to the end consumers or users for personal use.
The nature of B2B markets requires a more personal relationship between the buyer and seller than in B2C markets.
Vaughn Manufacturing produces 5000 units of part A12E. The following costs were incurred for that level of production: Direct materials $ 55000 Direct labor 160000 Variable overhead 75000 Fixed overhead 175000 If Vaughn buys the part from an outside supplier, $65000 of the fixed overhead is avoidable. What is the relevant cost per unit of part A12E?
Answer:
"$71" is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Given:
Number of units,
= 5,000
Direct material,
= 55,000
Direct labor,
= 160,000
Variable overhead,
= 75,000
Fixed overhead,
= 65,000
Now,
The total relevant costs will be:
= [tex]Direct \ materials+Direct \ labor+Variable \ overhead+Fixed \ overhead[/tex]
= [tex]55,000+160,000+75,000+65,000[/tex]
= [tex]355,000[/tex] ($)
hence,
The relevant cost per unit will be:
= [tex]\frac{Total \ relevant \ costs}{Number \ of \ units}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{355,000}{5,000}[/tex]
= [tex]71[/tex] ($)

You are valuing multiple steady-state companies in the same industry. Company A is projected to earn $160 in EBITA, grow at 2 percent per year, and generate ROICs equal to 15 percent. Company B is projected to earn $160 in EBITA, grow at 6 percent per year, and generate ROICs equal to 10 percent. Both companies have an operating tax rate of 25 percent and a cost of capital of 10 percent. What are the enterprise-value-EBITA multiples for both companies
Answer:
Company A
EBITA = $160m, growth = 2%, Cost of Capital = 10%, ROIC = 15%
Value = (EBITA * (1 - Growth/ROIC)) / (WACC - g)
Value = (160*(1 - 2/15)) / (0.1-0.02)
Value = 138.67 / 0.08
Value = 1,733
EV/EBITA = Value / EBITA
EV/EBITA = 1,733/160
EV/EBITA = 10.83x
Company B
EBITA = $160m, growth = 6%, Cost of Capital = 10%, ROIC = 10%
Value = (EBITA * (1 - Growth/ROIC)) / (WACC - g)
Value = (160*(1 - 6/10)) / (0.1-0.06)
Value = 64 / 0.04
Value = 1,600
EV/EBITA = Value / EBITA
EV/EBITA = 1,600/160
EV/EBITA = 10x

Alice is responsible for getting work done through others. Alice is a ________
Answer:
supervisor
Explanation:
According to Walter Shewhart:_______
a) chance causes should be eliminated whenever possible
b) assignable causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation
c) the mean, uppercontrollimit, lower controllimit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart
d) chance causes could be fixed
e) a control chart has time on the top axis and a plot of sample measurements
Answer:
c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.
Explanation:
Walter Shewhart is regarded as an important personality in the history of quality management. He asserted that the behavior of real processes had the tendency to change as time changed and it was not the behaviur of theoretical random distributions.
Walter Shewhart posited that causes of variation could be divided into two which are chance cause and assignable cause. He maintained that chance causes could be ignored if they did not cause too much variation, and any attempt to eliminate them usually made the problem worse. He however posited that it was possible to fix assignable causes.
Walter Shewhart invented control chart in order to differentiate between variations caused by random events and trends that indicated assignable causes. There is time and a plot of sample measurements on the bottom axis of a control chart. The mean, upper control limit, lower control limit, and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines.
Based on the above explanatio, the correct option is c) the mean, upper control limit, lower control limit and warning lines that are two sigma from the mean are indicated by horizontal lines in the control chart.

A company purchased a van at a cost of $42,000 and expects it can be sold for $6,000 after 120,000 miles of service. Assuming the units-of-production method is used and the van is driven for 24,000 miles during the first year, the depreciation at the end of the first year would be
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $7,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company purchased a van for $42,000 and expects it can be sold for $6,000 after 120,000 miles of service.
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles driven
For 24,000 miles:
Annual depreciation= [(42,000 - 6,000) / 120,000]*24,000
Annual depreciation= 0.3*24,000
Annual depreciation= $7,200
Cartels are: unstable and tend to lose market power over time. firms that face perfectly elastic demand curves and increase profits by restricting output and raising prices. like monopolies that try to earn normal or competitive profits. extremely powerful and able to keep prices and profits high indefinitely
Answer:
unstable and tend to lose market power over time.
Explanation:
A cartel is a group of countries or firms that have reached an agreement to work together in order to influence or decide market prices for goods and services by controlling sales and the level of production or quantity of output.
In a cartel model, business firms come together to coordinate their business decisions in order to act as a multi-plant monopoly, wherein the quantity of output or level of production is divided into several production plants.
The main purpose of having cartels do this is to make marginal cost (MC) equal to marginal revenue (MR) in the various production plants, so as to create monopoly profits by making sure each plant has its own cost.
Hence, cartels are generally unstable and tend to lose market power over time due to varying economic factors.
You were hired as a consultant to the ABC Company, whose target capital structure is 35% debt, 10% preferred, and 55% common equity. The interest rate on new debt is 6.50%, the yield on the preferred is 6.00%, the cost of equity is 11.25%, and the tax rate is 40%. What is ABC's WACC
Answer:
8.15%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is the sum of costs of different sources of finance multiplied by their respective weights as shown by the formula below:
WACC=(cost of equity*weight of equity)+(cost of preferred stock*weight of preferred stock)+(after-tax cost of debt*weight of debt)
cost of equity=11.25%
weight of equity=55%
cost of preferred stock=6.00%
weight of preferred stock=10%
after-tax cost of debt=6.50%*(1-40%)=3.90%
weight of debt=35%
WACC=(11.25%*55%)+(6.00%*10%)+(3.90%*35%)
WACC=8.15%
If the Market Equilibrium Wage Rate is $105.00 and FC = $1500.00: A. The firm Shuts Down and hires no workers and loses $1500.00 B. The firm hires 45 workers and earns a $1200.00 Economic Profit C. The firm hires 55 workers earns a $975.00 Economic Profit D. The firm hires 40 workers and earns a $1200.00 Economic Profit
Answer: B. The firm hires 45 workers and earns a $1,200.00 Economic Profit
Explanation:
If the Market Equilibrium rate is $105 then the company should hire 45 workers as shown in the table.
If they did that, revenue would be $7,425
Expenses would be wages and fixed costs:
= Wages + fixed costs
= (45 workers * wage rate) + 1,500
= (45 * 105) + 1,500
= $6,225
Economic profit would be:
= 7,425 - 6,225
= $1,200
Last year, you purchased a stock at a price of $74.00 a share. Over the course of the year, you received $2.10 per share in dividends and inflation averaged 2.6 percent. Today, you sold your shares for $77.70 a share. What is your approximate real rate of return on this investment
Answer:
5.2%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What is your approximate real rate of return on this investment
First step is to calculate the Nominal return
Nominal return = ($77.70 - $74.00 + $2.10) / $74.00
Nominal return=$5.80/$74.00
Nominal return= 0.078*100
Nominal return= 7.8%
Now let calculate the Approximate real rate using this formula
Approximate real rate=Nominal return-Inflation averaged
Let plug in the formula
Approximate real rate = 7.8% - 2.6%
Approximate real rate= 5.2%
Therefore your approximate real rate of return on this investment will be 5.2%
