Answers

Answer:

a. Hulu and Netflix.

Positive. They are close substitutes

Hulu and Netflix both provides television shows, so a consumer can choose between them. They are good substitutes

b. Tortilla chips and salsa.

Negative. They are complements.

Tortilla chips are consumed with salsa sauce. So a demand for salsa increases so does demand for tortilla chips.

c. Movie and popcorn.

Negative. They are complements.

The more people watch movies the more they will want to buy popcorn.

d. Running shoes and high heels

Close to zero. While they are substitutes they are not close substitutes.

Each has its own time of use. Consumers by them independently.

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity is a measure of the quantity demanded of one good to changes in price of another good.

So when a good's demand reduces with increase in price of another it is negative cross price elasticity. This is common with complements.

When quantity demanded of a good increases with increase in price of another, they are substitutes.

However when there is little effect on the quantity demanded with increase in price of the other good they are unrelated

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $8.2 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.93 million per year for 6 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.67% and a cost of equity of 11.31%. The debt-equity ratio is 0.62 and the tax rate is 21%. What is the net present value of the project

Answers

Answer:

$347,941.73

Explanation:

First, find the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC). WACC is the minimum return that a project must offer before it can be accepted. It is thus used to discount the future cash flows of a project to its Present Value.

WACC = Ke × E/V + Kd × D/V

where,

Ke = cost of equity

    = 11.31%

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

      = (1/1.62 × 100)

      = 61.73%

Kd = After tax cost of debt

     = 5.67% × ( 1  - 0.21)

     = 4.48 %

D/V = Market Weight of Debt

      = 0.65/1.65 × 100

      = 39.40%

Therefore,

WACC =  11.31% × 0.6773 + 4.48 % × 0.3940

           = 9.43 %

Next, find the net present value of the project using a financial calculator as follows :

CFj -$8,200,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

CFj $1,930,000

i/yr =  9.43 %

Shift NPV = $347,941.73

Puffin Industries acquired all of Sunset Coast Digital's stock on January 1, 2014, for $3,500,000, $2,100,000 in excess of book value. At that time, Sunset Coast's inventory (LIFO) was overvalued by $500,000 and its plant assets (10-year life) were overvalued by $1,000,000. The remaining excess of cost over book value is attributed to undervalued identifiable intangible assets being amortized over 20 years. Sunset Coast depreciates plant assets and amortizes intangibles by the straight-line method. During 2014 and 2015, Sunset Coast reported total net income of $650,000 and paid out 50 percent in dividends. Puffin carries its investment in Sunset Coast using the complete equity method. Sunset Coast's inventory increased each year since it was acquired by Puffin, and Sunset Coast's reported net income for 2016 was $200,000, and dividends totaled 50 percent of reported income.

Explanation:

Joker stock has a sustainable growth rate of 10 percent, ROE of 12 percent, and dividends per share of $1.30. If the PE ratio is 17.0, what is the value of a share of stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:value of a share of stock=$132.57

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate =  Retention ratio x ROE

= ROE X (1-Payout ratio)

10% = 12% x 1-payout ratio

10%/12%= 1-payout ratio

0.8333= 1-payout ratio

payout ratio= 1- 0.833=0.1667= 16.67%

Dividend payout ratio= dividend per share/Earnings per share

16.67%=$1.30/ earning per share

Earnings per share =1.30/ 16.67%=  $7.7984

Value of a share of stock using the P/E ratio

P/E ratio= value of stock / Earning per share

17= value of stock/earning per share

value of stock= 17 x 7.7984= $132.57

Much has been written about how to identify and interpret signs that indicate that a new organizational form is needed. Grinnell and Apple have identified five signs in addition to those previously described in Section 3.625:Management is satisfied with its technical skills, but projects are not meeting time, cost, and other project requirements.There is a high commitment to getting project work done, but great fluctuation in how well performance specifications are met.Highly talented specialists involved in the project feel exploited and misused.Particular technical groups or individuals constantly blame each other for failure to meet specifications or delivery dates.Projects are on time and to specification, but groups and individuals aren’t satisfied with the achievement. Grinnell and Apple state that there is a good chance that a matrix structure will eliminate or alleviate these problems. Do you agree or disagree? Does your answer depend on the type of project? Give examples or counterexamples to defend your answers.

Answers

Explanation:

I agree that the matrix structure will alleviate these problems encountered.

The matrix structure is a model characterized mainly by its flexibility. The organizational structure of the matrix structure is organized in work groups according to the project being carried out in the company, making the work functions more defined and dynamic, being able to change whenever there are new projects in view.

This structure helps companies to create greater autonomy in carrying out work, increasing coordination and satisfying specialization, which generates greater motivation in employees, increasing participation in the decision-making process, generating more innovation and productivity and the speed with which employees projects are finalized.

a. Fethe's Funny Hats is considering selling trademarked, orange-haired curly wigs for University of Tennessee football games. The purchase cost for a 2-year franchise to sell the wigs is $20,000. If demand is good (40% probability), then the net cash flows will be $27,000 per year for 2 years. If demand is bad (60% probability), then the net cash flows will be $6,000 per year for 2 years. Fethe's cost of capital is 13%. What is the expected NPV of the project?

b. If Fethe makes the investment today, then it will have the option to renew the franchise fee for 2 more years at the end of Year 2 for an additional payment of $20,000. In this case, the cash flows that occurred in Years 1 and 2 will be repeated (so if demand was good in Years 1 and 2, it will continue to be good in Years 3 and 4). Write out the decision tree. Note: The franchise fee payment at the end of Year 2 is known, so it should be discounted at the risk-free rate, which is 4%. Use decision-tree analysis to calculate the expected NPV.

Answers

Answer:

A) initial outlay = $20,000

expected cash flows = (40% x $27,000) + (60% x $6,000) = $14,400

NPV = -$20,000 + $14,400/1.13 + $14,400/1.13² = $4,020.68

B)   Fethe acquires franchise $20,000

things go bad, NPV = -$20,000 + $6,000/1.13 + $6,000/1.13² = -$9,991.39. The project is abandoned after the first 2 years.things go well, NPV = -$20,000 + $27,000/1.13 + $27,000/1.13² = $25,038.77. The franchise is renewed for 2 more years.

⇒ since the project continues, the present value of the cash flows are:

year 0 = -$20,000

year 1 = $27,000/1.13 = $23,893.81

year 2 = $27,000/1.13² - $20,000/1.04² = $5,482.03

year 3 = $27,000/1.13³ = $18,712.35

year 4 = $27,000/1.13⁴ = $16,559.61

NPV = $44,647.80

At the end of the current year, Leer Company reported total liabilities of $315,000 and total equity of $115,000. The company's debt ratio on the last year-end was:

Answers

Answer:

73.26%

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the total assets.

Total assets = Total liabilities + equity

= $315,000 + $115,000

= $430,000

Debt ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets

= 315,000 / 430,000

= 73.26%

Therefore, the company's debt ratio on the last year end is 73.26%

Unemployment Type Rate (Percent) Frictional 3.2 Cyclical 0.0 Structural 1.1 Total unemployment 4.3 True or False: This economy is not currently at its natural rate of unemployment. gs

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

The economy is at its Natural rate of Unemployment when Total Unemployment is the result of only Frictional and structural unemployment because Cyclical Unemployment is as a result of the Economic cycle and so is not counted as part of the natural rate.

Here;

Frictional unemployment (3.2) + Structural Unemployment (1.1) = Total Unemployment (4.3)

This economy is at its Natural rate of unemployment.

Southern Rim Parts estimates its manufacturing overhead to be $418,500 and its direct labor costs to be $930,000 for year 1. The first three jobs that Southern Rim worked on had actual direct labor costs of $52,000 for Job 301, $77,000 for Job 302, and $110,000 for Job 303. For the year, actual manufacturing overhead was $464,000 and total direct labor cost was $847,000. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor costs using pre-determined rates.
Required:
A. How much overhead was assigned to each of the three jobs, 301, 302, and 303?
B. What was the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 1?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 418,500/930,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.45 per direct labor dollar

Now, we can allocate overhead yo Job 301, 302, 303:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Job 301= 0.45*52,000= $23,400

Job 302= 0.45*77,000= $34,650

Job 303= 0.45*110,00= $49,500

Finally, we allocate overhead for the whole company and calculate the under/over allocation:

Allocated MOH= 0.45*847,000= $381,150

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 464,000 - 381,150

Under/over applied overhead= $82,850 underallocated

If the risk-free rate of return is 6%, and if a risky asset is available with a return of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%, what is the maximum rate of return you can achieve if you are willing to accept a standard deviation of 2%

Answers

Answer:

8.01%

Explanation:

If risk-free rate of return is 6%

if a risky asset is available with a return of 9%

If standard deviation of the portfolio is 2%.

Portfolio Return if S.D. is 2% = 0.33*6% + 0.67*9%

Portfolio Return =  0.33*0.06 + 0.67*0.09

Portfolio Return = 0.0198 + 0.0603

Portfolio Return = 0.0801

Portfolio Return = 8.01%

Hence, the he maximum rate of return we can achieve if we are willing to accept a standard deviation of 2% is 8.01%

Answers

Answer:

c. 8.5%

Explanation:

Note: The following is the missing part. Other Closing Expenses: $3,611.  A. 7.7% , B. 8.2%, C. 8.5%, D. 9.1%

Loan = $166,950

Rate = 8%

Life = 30 yrs

Period = 360

Installment = -1,225

Particulars                    Amount

Loan                              $166,950

Less: Discount points   $3339

Less: Closing costs       $3611

Net Borrowing              $160,000

Now, we find the Effective borrowing Rate with the aid of MS Excel

Effective borrowing Rate = Rate(Nper, PMT, PV)

Effective borrowing Rate = Rate(360, -1225, 160000)

Effective borrowing Rate = 0.007044637(Monthly)

Annual Effective rate = 0.007044637 * 12

Annual Effective rate = 0.084535644

Annual Effective rate = 8.4535644%

Annual Effective rate = 8.5%

A lender is a person, a private or government institution, or a major bank that lends money to a person or a company with the anticipation of reimbursement. Repayment of every payment or cost will be included in the repayment.

The correct answer is c. 8.5%

(D)
Capital receipt
None of these​

Answers

Answer:

(D)  Capital receipt

Explanation:

The life membership fee is a one-time lump sum amount paid by a new member. It gives a member access to the club facilities for the rest of their lives. Life membership is treated as a capital receipt and added to the capital fund. It appears on the liabilities side in the balance sheet.

Life membership is not treated as income for a particular year because the one-time payments permit a member lifetime access to the club services.

Slamburger's sells three cheeseburgers for every three regular hamburgers. A cheeseburger sells for $4.75 with a variable cost of $2.00. A regular hamburger sells for $4.25 with a variable cost of $1.75. What is the weighted average contribution margin

Answers

Answer:

$2.63

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average contribution margin is shown below:-

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable costs

For cheeseburger

= $4.75 - $2.00

= $2.75

For regular hamburger

= $4.25 - $1.75

= $2.5

Weighted average Contribution margin = Respective Contribution margin × Respective mix

= ($2.75 × 3) ÷ 6 + ($2.5 × 3) ÷ 6

= $1.38 + $1.25

= $2.63

Park Corporation is planning to issue bonds with a face value of $710,000 and a coupon rate of 7.5 percent. The bonds mature in 8 years and pay interest semiannually every June 30 and December 31. All of the bonds were sold on January 1 of this year. Park uses the effective-interest amortization method and also uses a discount account. Assume an annual market rate of interest of 8.5 percent. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to whole dollars.)
Required 1. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Answers

Answer:

Issuance of bond

Dr. Cash                       $$669,387

Dr. Discount on Bond $40,613

Cr. Bond Payable        $710,000

Explanation:

Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows associated with bond.

Use following formula to calculate the issuance price f the bond

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

As per given data

Face Value = $710,000

Coupon payment = $710,000 x 7.5% x 6/12 = $26,625 semiannually

Number of periods = n = 8 years x 2 period per year = 16 period s

Market interest rate = 8.5% annually = 8.5% / 2  = 4.25% semiannually

PLacing values in the formula

Price of the Bond = $26,625 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 4.25% )^-16 ) / 4.25% ] + [ $710,000 / ( 1 + 4.25% )^16 ]

Price of the Bond = $304,598.24 + $364,788.66 = $669,386.90 = $669,387

Discount on the bond = $710,000- $669,387 = $40,613

Pilot plus Pens is deciding when to replace its old machine. The old machine’s current salvage value is $2 million. Its current book value is $1 million. If not sold, the old machine will require maintenance costs of $400,000 at the end of the year, for the next five years. Depreciation on the old machine is $200,000 per year. At the end of five years, the old machine will have salvage value of $200,000 and a book value of $0. A replacement machine costs $3 million now and requires maintenance costs of $500,000 at the end of each year during its economic life of five years. At the end of five years, the new machine will have a salvage value of $500,000. It will be fully depreciated by the straight-line method. In five years, a replacement machine will cost $3,500,000. Pilot will need to purchase this machine regardless of what the choice it makes today. The corporate tax rate is 34% and the appropriate discount rate is 12%. The company is assumed to earn sufficient revenues to generate tax shields from depreciation.

Answers

Answer:

The solution can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

In the question, there are multiple choices that are defined, in which except the first three choices other are belong to a different topic, that's why we define only three choices.

In option 1:

There can be relationships between both the organization or managers as leaders assign making decisions with managers. This same relation could lead to conflicts between both the parties concerned. The said conflict is named an issue/confrontation agency. The confrontation between both the supervisors and employees and between owners and creditors may also exist.

There would be no dispute with both the department. Its reason for this is that organization conflict may occur unless the business owner does not hold 100% of the common stock of a corporation.

In that case, they will manage the operations of your company as the sole employee. Users will have the right to obtain all revenue earned from the company. It will keep owning 100% of a greater corporate share because you put the money in the company. There have been no external agencies that borrow. There will be no chance of every confrontation.

In option 2:

Yeah, once you recruit people to take on responsibilities or give them their proper decision-making authority, the conflict and you and your workers will occur. Disagreements may well be caused by differences of opinions or even by the sharing of profits you would have the right to receive when you operated together.

In option 3:

\Yeah, it can result in conflicts with the organization to hold shares out to buyers. Scandals among shareholders and managers and between borrowers and shareholders and between management, shareholders and debt holders may arise as a type of conflict.

A plant growing toward the sun is an example of THE MATCHThere never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by natureby a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.What is the main idea of this text?
