Answer: maximize the impact of the cost of marketing
Explanation:
The target market is a particular group of consumers that the advertisement of a product or service is typically aimed at.
Businesses adopt and identify target markets for their products to maximize the impact of the cost of marketing. When the target market for a product or service has been known by a company, the business can find the most efficient and effective strategy to advertise their product. This will help in the minimization of cost of marketing.
Suppose Acap Corporation will pay a dividend of $2.88 per share at the end of this year and $3.01 per share next year. You expect Acap's stock price to be $53.87 in two years. Assume that Acap's equity cost of capital is 10.3%. a. What price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today, if you planned to hold the stock for two years? b. Suppose instead you plan to hold the stock for one year. For what price would you expect to be able to sell a share of Acap stock in one year? c. Given your answer in (b), what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for one year? How does this compare to your answer in (a)?
Answer:
A.P(0)=$48.89
B.P(1)=$51.56
C.P(0)=$49.35
Explanation:
A. Calculation for what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for two year
Using this formula
P(0)=Dividend per share/Percentage of Equity cost of capital +(Dividend next year+Stock price)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(0) = 2.88/ 1.103 + (3.01+ 53.87) / 1.103^2=
P(0)=2.611+56.88/1.216609
P(0)=59.491/1.216609
P(0)=$48.89
b. Calculation for what price would you expect to be able to sell a share of Acap stock in one year
Using this formula
P(1)=(Dividend next year + Stock price)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(1) = (3.01 + 53.87) / 1.103 = $50.00
P(1)=56.88/1.103
P(1)=$51.56
c.Calculation for what price would you be willing to pay for a share of Acap stock today if you planned to hold the stock for one year
Using this formula
P(0)=(Dividend per share + P(1)/Percentage of Equity cost of capital
Let plug in the formula
P(0) = (2.88 + 51.56) / 1.103
P(0)=54.44/1.103
P(0)=$49.35
Therefore compare to the answer in (a)
if you planned to hold the stock for two year you will have $48.89 and if you planned to hold the stock for one year you will have $49.35.
the average rate of the 36 children in the group was 55 kgs children of average weight 53 cages left the group was the what new average weight of group in kg
Complete Question:
The average weight of the 36 children in the group was 55 kgs. 5 children of average weight 53 kgs left the group. What was the new average weight of the group in kg?
Answer:
The new average weight of the group = 1,715/31 = 55.32 kgs
Explanation:
Average weight of 36 children = 55 kgs
Total weight of 36 children = 1,980 (36 * 55) kgs
Average weight of 5 children = 53 kgs
Total weight of 5 children = 265 (53 * 5) kgs
When 5 children of 53 kgs average weight left the group,
the remaining 31 children (36 - 5) had total weight = 1,715 (1,980 - 265)
Therefore, the new average weight for 31 children at a total of 1,715, will be
= 1,715/31
= 55.32 kgs
Average rate is considered as a single rate that applies to property in multiple locations and is based on a weighted average of the dweller rates for each site.
Given Information:
Average weight=55 kgsNumber of children=36Average weight of 36 children = 55 kgs
Total weight of 36 children = 1,980 (36 * 55) kgs
Average weight of 5 children = 53 kgs
Total weight of 5 children = 265 (53 * 5) kgs
When 5 children of 53 kgs average weight left the group, the remaining 31 children (36 - 5) had total weight = 1,715 (1,980 - 265)
Therefore, the new average weight for 31 children at a total of 1,715, will be

For the past week, a company's common stock closed with the following prices: $61.50, $62.00, $61.25, $60.875, and $61.50. What was the price range
Answer:
$1.125

highest price = $62
Lowest price = $60.875
$62 - $60.875 = $1.125
An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. the cost Y in dollars per hour to produce electricity is Y=11+0.4X+0.29X2, where X is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 16X−0.2X2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit. (Round to two decimal places.)
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.
On February 1, 2021, a company loans one of its employees $29,000 and accepts a ten-month, 8% note receivable. Calculate the amount of interest revenue the company will recognize in 2021
Answer:
Calculation of interest revenue:
Interest revenue = $29,000 x 8% x 10/12 = $1,933
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Feb. 1, 2021 Loan to employees = $29,000
Ten-month, 8% note receivable
Interest revenue = $29,000 x 8% x 10/12 = $1,933
The note is for 10 months, but the rate of interest is 8% per annum. After the rate is applied on the loan to get an interest of $2,320, this will then be multiplied by 10 and divided by 12 to get the 10 months interest revenue. These loans to employees are expected to be repaid by the end of November, 2021 with the interest.

b) Tight Drums Company's contribution margin income statement is a financial statement that separates all the variable costs from the fixed costs. The difference between Tight Drums' Sales Revenue of $1,350,00 and the Total Variable Costs of $810,000 is called the Contribution Margin.
The Contribution margin of $540,000 shows how much of the sales revenue is left to cover the fixed costs totalling $405,000 and generate operating income, after deducting all the variable costs.
This contribution margin can be expressed per unit by dividing the contribution margin of $540,000 by the 4,500 units sold. The per unit value can then be expressed as a ratio of the selling price. From the contribution margin ratio, we can estimate how much is left per dollar of sales for Tight Drums Company to cover its fixed costs and generate operating income.
During 2018, Skechers USA had Sales of $1,846.4, Gross profit of $818.8 million and Selling, General and Administration expenses of $730.7 million. What was Skechers' Cost of sales for 2018
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:
Clinton and Trump on fiscal policy In the 2016 Presidential election campaign
The policy that will change aggregate demand (AD) the most is a cut in taxes.
Explanation:
Aggregate demand is fueled mostly by household consumption. A cut in taxes increases the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) and reduces the marginal propensity to save (MPS), but at the same time fuels the marginal propensity to invest by firms trying to meet the new aggregate demand, thereby increasing the aggregate supply (AS) which is the real GDP output.

Zelda Partnership holds cash of $30,000 and inventory worth $60,000 (basis equals $42,000). Zelda makes a $30,000 cash liquidating distribution to Link, a one-third partner with an outside basis of $24,000. How much gain or loss, if any, does Link recognize
Answer:
6,000 ordinary gain
Explanation:
The computation of gain or loss is shown below:-
Given that
Worth of an inventory = $60,000
Basic inventory = $42,000
Now if we divide this two by each other so the percentage would be
= $60,000 ÷ $42,000 i.e to be greater than the 120% and it is said that the one third would be considered of $18,000
The $18,000 come from
= $42,000 - $24,000
= $18,000
Now its one third is $6,000 and the same is to be treated as ordinary gain

Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1 comma 400 units. If the firm produces 1 comma 400 units, its average variable costs equal $6.50 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $0.80 per unit.
Required:
a. What is the firm's maximizing (or loss-minimizing output level?
b. What is the amount of it's economic profits (or losses) at this output level?
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.
If you put up $39,000 today in exchange for a 6.5 percent, 16-year annuity, what will the annual cash flow be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
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

Assume that England and Spain each has 40 labor hours available. Originally, each country divided its time equally between the production of cheese and bread. Now, each country spends all its time producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. As a result, the total output of cheese increased by:____________
a. 15
b. 20
c. 25
d. 40
Answer: a. 15
Explanation:
Given;
Labour hours available to each nations.
England = 40 labour hours.
Spain = 40 labour hours.
Solution:
Total production of bread in 40 labour hours for each nation from the table is 15.
England = 10
Spain = 5
Since both nations decided to focus on their strength where they pose comparative advantage, the production of cheese would increase by 15. As this is the amount of bread produced in that time frame of 40 labour hours.
Poulter Corporation will pay a dividend of $4.60 per share next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 6.75 percent per year, indefinitely. If you require a return of 11 percent on your investment, how much will you pay for the company’s stock today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
You will pay $108.24 for the company’s stock today.
Explanation:;
The price to pay for the company’s stock today can be calculated using the Gordon Growth Model (GGM) formula which assumes that dividend growth rate of a company will continue to be constant indefinitely. The GGM formula is as given below:
P = d/(r – g) ……………………………………… (1)
Where;
P = Price to pay for the company’s stock today = ?
d = Next year dividend per share = $4.60
r = required return = 11%, or 0.11
g = Constant dividend growth rate = 6.75%, or 0.0675
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $4.60 / (0.11 - 0.0675)
P = $4.60 / 0.0425
P = $108.24
Therefore, you will pay $108.24 for the company’s stock today.

Using the journal to account for the acquisition of a new machine by Orion Flour Mills initially records the transactions after identifying the accounts involved, and the accounts to be debited and credited respectively.
The cost of the new machine includes the additional expenditure incurred for bringing it into use. The expenditure will include the shipment, sales tax, and installation costs. Insurance will be excluded as it is not incurred in order to bring the machine into use.
Ravelo Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity Assembly $ 514,520 52,000 machine-hours Processing orders $ 62,263 1,900 orders Inspection $ 85,589 1,910 inspection-hours Data concerning the company's product L19B appear below: Annual unit production and sales 590 Annual machine-hours 1,150 Annual number of orders 230 Annual inspection hours 180 Direct materials cost $ 53.74 per unit Direct labor cost $ 26.45 per unit According to the activity-based costing system, the unit product cost of product L19B is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Unitary cost= $131.02
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
L19B:
Annual unit production and sales 590
Annual machine-hours 1,150
Annual number of orders 230
Annual inspection hours 180
Direct materials cost $ 53.74 per unit
Direct labor cost $ 26.45 per unit
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Assembly= 514,520/52,000= $9.9 per machine-hour
Processing orders= 62,263/1,900= $32.77 per order
Inspection= 85,589/1,910= $44.81per inspection-hour
Now, we can calculate the total allocated overhead cost for product L19B:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Assembly= 9.9*1,150= 11,385
Processing orders= 32.77*230= 7,537.1
Inspection= 44.81*180= 8,065.8
Total= 29,987.9
Finally, the cost per unit:
Unitary overhead= 29,987.9/590= 50.83
Unitary cost= 53.74 + 26.45 + 50.83
Unitary cost= $131.02
Cost reduction is still the number one priority for many supply chain executives, according to the MHI and Deloitte survey. Select one: True False
Answer:
MHI and Deloitte Survey
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.
When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elasticity of demand between erasers and pencils is
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.

You are cautiously bullish on the common stock of the Wildwood Corporation over the next several months. The current price of the stock is $50 per share. You want to establish a bullish money spread to help limit the cost of your option position. You find the following option quotes: Wildwood Corp Underlying Stock price: $50.00 Expiration Strike Call Put June 45.00 8.50 2.00 June 50.00 4.50 3.00 June 55.00 2.00 7.50 Ignoring commissions, the cost to establish the bull money spread with calls would be ________. Group of answer choices
Answer:
650
Explanation:
A call option is an option to buy a product or asset at a stated price at a later date. The risk of call option is capped at premium for buying the option. Wildwood corporation will incur cost of 650 to establish the bull money spreads with calls.
8.5 +4.5 = 13
13 * $50.00 = $650
A company issues $60,000 of 6%, 5-year bonds dated January 1 that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. If the issuer accepts $62,000 for the bonds, the premium on bonds payable will _________________ total interest expense recognized over the life of the bond by $ ______________.
Answer:
The premium on the bonds payable will decrease the total interest expense recognized over the life bond by $2000
Explanation:
The premium on bonds payable is the excess of cash proceeds received from the bond's issuance over the face value.
cash proceeds=$62,000
face value=$60,000
premium on bonds payable=$62,000-$60,000
premium on bonds payable=$2000
This will decrease the total interest expense recognized over the life bond by $2000
For each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce.
Price Quantity Total Revenue Fixed Cost Variable Cost Profit
(Dollars per polo) (Polos) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
25.00 520,000
40.00 520,000
65.00 520,000
If the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (FC) in the short run. In this case, the firm's fixed cost is $520,000 per day. In other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $520,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease).
This firm's __________ that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down is:________
Answer:
This firm's Shut down price, That is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down is $40.
Explanation:
Shut down point is the point at which a firm or business is not able to gain any profit or benefit from the operations. Firm try to stay in the market until they reach the shut down point in business. It is a point where a business revenue just covers the variable expenses.
a company sells 600 bottles of a dietary supplement per week at$ 100 per bottle. The supplement is ordered from a supplier who charges fixed cost of $30 per order, and $ 50 per bottle. The annual inventory holding cost is 40%. Assume the company operates 50 weeks in a year. What is the optimal number of bottles company should order?
Answer:
the economic order quantity or optimal quantity = 300 bottles per order
Explanation:
economic order quantity (EOQ) = √[(2SD) / H]
S = cost per order = $30D = annual demand = 600 x 50 weeks = 30,000H = holding costs = $50 x 40% = $20EOQ = √[(2 x $30 x 30,000) / $20] = √($1,800,000 / $20) = √90,000 = 300
This means that the company must make 2 orders per week and 100 orders per year. This happens because the holding costs per unit are too high, therefore, in order to reduce costs you must have a small inventory.
The refractive index of a rarer medium with respect to a denser medium is.....
A)Greater than 1
B) Smaller Than 1
C) Negative
D)-1
Answer:
B) Smaller Than 1
Explanation:
Snell's Law states that the ratio of the sines of incidence and refraction is equal to the ratio of the phase of velocities in the two phases. When light travels from a rarer medium like air to a denser medium like water, the light would be refracted towards the normal line. For example, the refractive index of air with respect to glass is represented as;
sin i / sin r
If light rays travel from glass which is a denser medium to a rarer medium which is air, the light rays would bend away from the normal line, and then the angle of refraction would be greater than the angle of incidence. So, the refractive index of the rarer medium which is air with respect to the denser medium which is glass will be smaller than 1.
