Dana has standard consumer preferences over two goods: hours spent watching football (W) and hours spent playing football (P). He is indifferent between the bundles: A=(2W,1P) and B=(1W,2P). He is offered a third bundle C=(1.5W,1.5P). Based on the preference assumptions, what might we say about Dana's preferences for C relative to A or B?A. Dana might prefer C to A, and C to B.B. Dana might prefer C to A, and A to B.C. Dana might prefer C to A, and B to C.D. Dana might prefer A to C, and B to C.E. Dana might be indifferent between C, A, and B.
Answer:
The correct option is Dana might be indifferent between C, A, and B.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached photo for the indifference curve showing points A, B and C.
The answer can be explained using an indifference curve.
An indifference curve is a graph that depicts the combination of two commodities that provide equal satisfaction or utility to the consumer. A consumer is indifferent between the two commodities at each point on an indifference curve because all points on the curve provide him with the same level of satisfaction or utility.
In the attached photo, bundles A, B and C are plotted as points on the same indifference curve (IC). Since points A, B and C are on the same IC, it therefore implies that Dana might be indifferent between C, A, and B.
Therefore, the correct option is Dana might be indifferent between C, A, and B.

Construction Inc. contracts to buy some heavy equipment from Dig Machines Inc. Before either party performs, Dig sells its assets to Excavation Corporation. On learning of the sale, Construction is concerned about its contract with Dig. Construction should a. buy the equipment from a different firm and bill Excavation for the price. b. demand an assurance of performance from the seller. c. buy the equipment from a different firm and bill the seller for the price. d. consider the contract repudiated and sue the seller for breach.
Answer:
Option b: Demand assurances of performance from the seller
Explanation:
Right of assurance
This is simply done if a party has reasonable grounds to believe that the other party will not hold their own part of the deal, he or she may ask in writing that the other party give adequate assurance of performance . It is stated that If the second party does not provide reasonable assurance as demanded within 30 days, this failure will lead to repudiation of the contract and can be regarded as an anticipatory breach.
The process for requesting adequate assurance is divided into three reasonable grounds;
1. Reasonable grounds for insecurity
2. Demand for adequate assurances of performance
3. Failure to provide adequate assurance is a Repudiation
Excavation can have some dig assets. That doees not mean they purchase all their asset and even if they do, they did not even purchase the whole company. As the company can produce more, construction conc. should or can place a request across to dig to give assurance of performance.

Valve is a company that makes world-class computer games such as Half-life, Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Team Fortress and creates world-leading game distributing platform known as Steam. This organization has been working boss-free which translates into “everyone is equal and managers don't exist” for years and still performs excellently on the digital game market. Here are some insights from its employees:
- “We're free to choose to work on whatever we think is interesting.”
- “We form into teams based on need to complete a feature or complete a game, and then we disperse into new teams.”
- “People ask you questions about what you are working on. And the response is not to get defensive but to have that conversation and make sure that we're all invested in each other.”
- “I think the fact that we're not managed by people and we're not managing people and you're able to formulate your own ideas and work with whoever it is to come up with a project or feature - that's empowering”
- “It's a community of respect and the best idea wins no matter who it comes from, whether they've been at Valve for a year or founded Valve.”
Use the knowledge you have earned to identify the type of organizational design of Valve. Explain how Departmentalization, Chain of command, Span of control and Formalization works in this organization
Answer:
Valve has a flat organizational structure. As a result, the following features of a hierarchical organization are turned upside down:
1. Departmentalization: Valve is not organized in departments but has dispersed teams that are freely formed based on need. Employees are free to choose the jobs that they do and the teams that they join based on their personal interests.
2. Chain of command: Valve lacks the strict chain of command that is visible in hierarchical organizations where instructions are issued from the top and reports are sent from the lower cadre to the upper echelon. Therefore, employees are not managed by others.
3. Span of control: Valve is recognized as a community of respect where the best idea wins without the observance of seniority.
4. Formalization: The working culture is informal and casual. This has enabled people at Valve to be invested in each other. Questions are freely asked to solicit and share ideas. There is self-discipline.
Explanation:
Valve, owned by CEO Gabe Newell, has created a model flat organization where managers are not prominent. There are no formal positions and no centralized plans. Even the CEO does not interfere in the daily management of the organization. Thus, decision-making is improved, and there is a high sense of personal responsibility by employees.
what is the present value of $7500 per year, at a discounted rate of 7.1%, of the first payment is received 6 years from now and the last payment is received 25 years from now
Answer:
PV= $50,981.17
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the future value at the end of the period:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
FV= {7,500*[(1.071^19) - 1]} / 0.071
FV= $283,234.78
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
in this case n=25 years
PV= 283,234.78 / (1.071^25)
PV= $50,981.17
Following is the sales budget for Coore, Inc., for the first quarter of 2019.
January February March
Sales budget $168,000 $186,000 $199,000
Credit sales are collected as follows:
65 percent in the month of the sale.
20 percent in the month after the sale.
15 percent in the second month after the sale.
The accounts receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter was $107,000 ($78,100 of which was uncollected December sales)
Requried:
a. Compute the sales for November.
b. Compute the sales for December.
c. Compute the cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
Answer:
a. Sales for November = $192,666.67
b. Sales for December = $312,400,00
c. Total cash collections are as follows:
January = $200,580
February = $201,360
March = $191,750
Explanation:
a. Compute the sales for November.
Sales for November = (Accounts receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter - Uncollected sales from December) / Collection rate two months after the sale = ($107,000 - $78,100) / 15% = $192,666.67
b. Compute the sales for December.
Sales for December = Uncollected sales from December / (Collection rate one months after the sale + Collection rate two months after the sale) = $78,100 / (10% + 15%) = $312,400,00
c. Compute the cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
Note: See the attached excel file for the schedule of cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
From the attached excel file, total cash collections are as follows:
January = $200,580
February = $201,360
March = $191,750
Common stock with a total par value of $50,000 (par value of $0.50 per share) have been issued, and 5,000 shares of treasury stock with a total cost of $25,000 have been repurchased. How many total shares are outstanding
Answer: 95000 shares
Explanation:
The total shares that are outstanding will be calculated as the difference between the total shares issued and the treasury Share purchased.
The number of shares issued will be calculated as:
= 50000/0.50
= 100000 Shares
Therefore, the total shares that are outstanding will be:
= 100000 shares - 5000 shares
= 95000 shares
North Corp. EBIT is $200. It has a debt-equity ratio of 25% and a WACC of 16%. Debt interest is 12%. Without taxes, what is the value of the firm?
Answer:
Value of the firm = 25000
Explanation:
Use the below formula to find the value of firm.
Degree of Financial Leverage = EBIT / ( EBIT - Interest)
Degree of Financial Leverage = 0.25
0.25={200/ {200-Interests}
Interests amount = - 600
Interest amount = debt × Cost of Debts
Debt amount = Interest amount / Cost of Debt
Debt amount = - 600 / 0.12.
Debt amount = -5000
Now find the debt equity ratio:
Debt-equity ratio = debt / equity
Given Debt amount = 5000
0.25= 5000 / Equity
Equity =5 000 /0.25
The value of Equity = 20,000
Now, the value of the firm = Equity amount + Debt amount
The value of the firm = 20000 + 5000
The value of the firm = 25000
A firm is offered credit terms of 2/10 net 45 by most of its suppliers. The firm also has a credit line available at a local bank at an interest rate of 12 percent. What is the cost of giving up the cash discount
Answer:
21.28%
Explanation:
Note: Assuming 365 day year
Cost of giving up cash discount = [Discount rate / (1-Discount rate)] * 365 / [Credit period - Discount period]
Cost of giving up cash discount = [0.02/(1-0.02)] * [365/(45-10)]
Cost of giving up cash discount = [0.02/0.98] * [365/35]
Cost of giving up cash discount = 0.0204082 * 10.42857
Cost of giving up cash discount = 0.212828
Cost of giving up cash discount = 21.28%

The riskfree rate is 2.5% and the excess market return is expected to be 6%. Use the Gordon growth model to obtain the intrinsic value of a firm that has a dividend of $4.95, beta of 1.12, and dividend growth of 5%
Answer:
$366.02
Explanation:
The computation of the intrinsic value per share is as follows;
But before that the required rate of return is
As we know that
Required rate of return = Risk free rate of return + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate of return0
= 2.5% + 1.12 × (6% - 2.5%)
= 6.42%
Now the intrinsic value per share is
= $4.95 × 1.05 ÷ (6.42% - 5%)
= $366.02
Comet Company accumulated the following account information for the year: Beginning raw materials inventory$5,200 Indirect materials cost 1,200 Indirect labor cost 4,200 Maintenance of factory equipment 2,000 Direct labor cost 6,200 Using the above information, total factory overhead costs would be:
Answer:
$7,400
Explanation:
Given the above information, the total factory overhead cost would be computed as;
Total factory overhead costs = Indirect materials + Indirect labor + Maintenance of factory equipment
= $1,200 + $4,200 + $2,000
= $7,400
Hence, the total factory overhead costs is $7,400
The balance sheet of Sand Sportswear reports total equity of $500,000 and $650,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. The return on equity for the year is 20%. What is Sand Sportswear's net income for the year?
a. $100,000.
b. $130,000.
c. $2,875,000.
d. $115,000.
Answer:
d. $115,000
Explanation:
The calculation of Sand Sportswear's net income for the year is as seen below;
Return on equity = Net income / Average total equity
Return on equity = 20%
Average total equity = ($500,000 + $650,000) / 2 = $575,000
Therefore,
Net income = Average total equity × Return on equity
Net income = $575,000 × 20%
Net income = $115,000

The manager wants to advertise that anybody who isn't served within a certain number of minutes gets a free hamburger. But she doesn't want to give away free hamburgers to more than 1% of her customers. What number of minutes should the advertisement use
Answer:
0.99
Explanation:
According to the given question, we need just only1% of orders to take longer than the specified time.
So, proportion = 1%
= 1/100
= 0.01.
It's possible to write it as P( X ≥ a) 0.01
We are aware that total area = 1
As a result, if the 0.01 proportion of orders is more than a, then;
The remainder will be less than or equal to a (1 - 0.01 = 0.99).
Therefore, P(0 ≤ x ≤ a) = 0.99

Plethora Farms purchased a greenhouse for $52,700. Delivery costs totaled $1,825 and handling costs were $3,000. The useful life is 10 years and the salvage value is $14,050. Using the straight-line depreciation method, calculate the book value at the end of year 4. Group of answer choices $31,256 $58,000 $22,000 $40,135
Answer:
$40,135
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Cost of the asset =purchase cost + delivery cost + handling cost
$52,700 + $1,825 + $3,000 = $57,525
depreciation expense = ($57,525 - $14,050) / 10 = $4,347.50
book value at the end of year 4 = cost of the asset - accumulated depreciation
Accumulated depreciation = $4,347.50 x 4 = $17,390
Book value = $57,525 - $17,390 = $40,135
Under the concepts of the time value of money, you can determine the current, or present, value of a cash receipt or payment that will occur at some specified time in the future, given a specified rate of interest. This technique can be used to calculate the present value of a single or a series of future receipts or payments. Abigail and Caleb are walking after class between the library and the best pizzeria near campus. They’re discussing Dr. Johnson’s latest financial management lecture, which addressed the concept of present value and the process for calculating it. In anticipation of tomorrow’s quiz, they’ve decided to review their lecture notes and the textbook materials and then practice one or two problems. Complete the missing information in the conversation that follows. CALEB: So, what is a present value, and why is it important to be able to calculate it? ABIGAIL: According to Dr. Johnson, an asset’s present or value is the current value of the cash flows that it will pay or receive in the future.
Answer:
Discounted value
Explanation:
From Abigail's speech, the present value or the discounted value of an asset is the current value of the cash flows which are to be paid or gotten at a date in the future.
The reason discounted is the answer is because cash flows in the future have to be brought to a date in the present. Instead of compounding, it is better to discount since compounding raises present value when placed side by side with future value.
Customers arrive at a suburban ticket outlet at the rate of 14 per hour on Monday mornings. This can be described by a Poisson distribution. Selling the tickets and providing general information takes an average of 3 minutes per customer, and varies exponentially. There is 1 ticket agent on duty on Mondays. Determine each of the following:______________(A) system utilization.(B) average number in line.(C) average time in line.(D) average time in the system.
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
When the arrival rate matches the distribution of Poisson, the rate of delivery varies exponentially as well as the server exists. The paradigm, therefore, is W/M/I, an exponential time interval concept, and one server.
Arrival rate [tex](\lambda) = 14\ per\ hour[/tex]
Service rate[tex]( \mu) =\frac{3\ minutes}{customer} = \frac{60 minutes (1 hour)}{3 minutes}= 20 \ \frac{customers}{hour}[/tex]
For point A:
System utilization[tex]=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}=\frac{14}{20}=0.7[/tex]
For point B:
Average number in line:
[tex](L_q )=\frac{\lambda^2}{\mu \times (\mu-\lambda)}\\\\=\frac{14^2}{20\times (20-14)}\\\\= 1.633[/tex]
For point C:
Average time in line:
[tex](W_q)=\frac{L_q}{\lambda}\\\\=\frac{1.633}{14} \ hours\\\\=\frac{1.633}{14} \times 60 \ minutes\\\\= 7\ minutes[/tex]
For point D:
Average time in the system:
[tex](W_s)=w_q+\frac{1}{\mu}\\\\=7\ minutes + \frac{1}{20} \ hours\\\\=7 \ minutes + \frac{60}{20} \ hours\\\\= 7 \ minutes + 3\ minutes\\\\= 10 \ minutes\\[/tex]

= [tex]31.5[/tex]
Price,
pv = 949
Par value,
= 1000
Now,
The YTM will be:
= [tex]rate(n,c,-pv,fv)\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]rate(50,31.5,-949,1000)\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]6.724[/tex] (%)
hence,
After tax cost of debt will be:
= [tex]YTM\times (1-tax \ rate)[/tex]
= [tex]6.724\times (1-39)[/tex]
= [tex]4.102[/tex] (%)
If the price of chocolate-covered peanuts increases and the demand for strawberry licorice twists increases, this indicates that these two goods are _____ goods. Group of answer choices
Answer: substitute goods
