Answer:
If the company applies the changes, income will increase by $28,500.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the current number of units sold:
Sales (dollars)= net income + fixed costs + total variable cost
Sales (dollars)= 30,000 + 90,000 + 180,000
Sales (dollars)= $300,000
Number of units= 300,000 / 15= 20,000
Now, the selling price increases by 15%, and the number of units decreased by 10%:
Unitary variable cost= 180,000/20,000= $9
Selling price= 15*1.15= $17.25
Number of units sold= 20,000*0.9= 18,000
Net operating income= 18,000*(17.25 - 9) - 90,000
Net operating income= $58,500
If the company applies the changes, income will increase by $28,500.
e payoff matrix below shows the payoffs (in millions of dollars) for two firms, A and B, for two different strategies, investing in new capital or not investing in new capital. Firm B Invest Not Invest Firm A Invest 20 for A 70 for A 20 for B 5 for B Not Invest 5 for A 50 for A 70 for B 50 for B Firm A’s dominant strategy is to ______, and Firm B’s dominant strategy is to ______.

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%
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%

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.
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.

It costs Sunland Company $12 of variable and $5 of fixed costs to produce one bathroom scale which normally sells for $35. A foreign wholesaler offers to purchase 3200 scales at $15 each. Sunland would incur special shipping costs of $1 per scale if the order were accepted. Sunland has sufficient unused capacity to produce the 3200 scales. If the special order is accepted, what will be the effect on net income
Answer:
The Net income will increase by $6,400
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the effect on the net income
As the fixed cost is irrelevant to special order
Net income = Increase in revenue - Increase in Variable cost - Special shipping cost
Where
Increase in revenue = 3200 x $15 = $48,000
Increase in Variable cost = 3200 x $12 = $38,400
Special shipping cost = 3200 x $1 = $3,200
Placing values in the formula
Net income = $48,000 - $38,400 - $3,200
Net income = $6,400
Hence, the net income will increase by $6,400
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.
Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from $0.50 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmers produce from 2 million pounds to 4 million pounds. The price elasticity of supply in this case indicates that supply is Group of answer choices
Answer: elastic
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply will be:
The percentage change in price will be:
= (1.50 - 0.50)/0.50 x 100
= 1.00/0.50 × 100
= 200
The percentage change in quantity will be:
= (4 -2)/2 x 100
= 2/2 × 100
= 100
Elasticity = % change in quantity/% Change in Price = 200/100 = 2
Since elasticity = 2, this indicates supply is elastic as it's greater than 1.

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.

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)

Fiscal Cliff Inc. has a capital structure that consists of 15 percent common stock and 85 percent long-term debt. In order to calculate Fiscal Cliff’s weighted average cost of capital, an analyst has accumulated the following information: · The company currently has 25-year bonds outstanding with annual coupon payments of 8 percent. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and sell for $700. · The risk-free rate is 3 percent. · The market risk premium is 8 percent. · The beta on Fiscal Cliff's common stock is 2.3. · The company's retained earnings are sufficient so that they do not have to issue any new common stock to fund capital projects. · The company's tax rate is 40 percent. Given this information, what is Fiscal Cliff's WACC? A. 9.21% B. 12.58% C. 8.17% D. 7.63% E. 11.35%
Answer:
WACC= 8.7%
Explanation:
The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.
The Weighted average cost of debt can be worked out using the following steps:
Step 1: Cost of debt
The cost of debt is the same as the yield to maturity. The yield to maturity to Maturity can be used to work out the cost of debt using the formula below:
YM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))
C- annual coupon,
F- face value ,
P- current price,
n- number of years to maturity
YM - Yield to maturity
C- 8%× 1000 =80 , P= 700, F- 1000
AYM = 80 + (1000-700)/25÷ 1/2× (1000+700)
= 92 ÷ 850
= Yield to maturity = 10.82%
After-tax cost of debt=Before-tax × (1-T)
After-tax cost of debt = 10.82%× (1-0.4) =6.49%
Step 2 : Cost of equity
This can be computed using the Capital Asset pricing model
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 3%, β- 2.3, Rm-Rf= 8%
Ke= 3% + 2.3× 8%
Cost of equity = Ke =21.4%
Step 3: WACC
WACC = (15%*21.4.5) + (85%*6.49)=8.7%
WACC= 8.7%
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

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)
