2. interest rate.
3. horizontal sum of the transactions demand for money and the asset demand for money.
4. at the intersection of the total demand for money curve and the supply of money curve.
5. the equilibrium interest rate will rise.
Explanation:
In economics or financial accounting, money can be defined as any asset used by an individual or business entity to make purchases of goods and services at a specific period of time.
Simply stated, money refers to any asset which can be used to purchase goods and services by customers.
This ultimately implies that, money is any recognized economic unit that is generally accepted as a medium of exchange for goods and services, as well as repayment of debts such as loans, taxes across the world.
Additionally, the rate at which an asset can be used to purchase any goods or services refers to its liquidity. Thus, liquidity is a quality or characteristics of money as a medium of exchange. Therefore, money is a generally accepted medium of exchange around the world.
The three (3) main functions of money all over the world are;
I. Medium of exchange.
II. Unit of account.
III. Store of value.
Some of the characteristics of money includes the following statements;
1. The basic determinant of the transactions demand for money is the level of nominal GDP.
2. The basic determinant of the asset demand for money is the interest rate.
3. Total money demand is the horizontal sum of the transactions demand for money and the asset demand for money.
4. The equilibrium interest rate in the money market is determined at the intersection of the total demand for money curve and the supply of money curve.
5. If there is an increase in the total demand for money, the equilibrium interest rate will rise.

When a partnership is formed, assets contributed by the partners should be recorded on the partnership books at their: Group of answer choices fair market value at the time of the contribution. assessed values for property tax purposes. original costs to the partner contributing them. book values on the partners' books prior to their being contributed to the partnership.
Answer:
When a partnership is formed, assets contributed by the partners should be recorded on the partnership books at their:
fair market value at the time of the contribution.
Explanation:
This fair market value of the assets contributed by each partner provides the best measurement value at which assets contributed in a partnership should be recorded. The asset class is debited while the partner's capital account is credited with this fair market value and not the book or cost value.
Consider the following information for Watson Power Co.: Debt: 3,500 7 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 20 years to maturity, selling for 102 percent of par; the bonds make semiannual payments. Common stock: 84,000 shares outstanding, selling for $59 per share; the beta is 1.06. Preferred stock: 10,000 shares of 6 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $104 per share. Market: 8.5 percent market risk premium and 5.5 percent risk-free rate. Assume the company's tax rate is 35 percent. Find the WACC.
Answer:
9. 82 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of equity x Weight of equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt.
Remember to always use the After tax cost of debt :
Cost of Debt :
PV = - $1,020
FV = $1,000
N = 20 x 2 = 40
P/YR = 2
PMT = ($1,000 x 7 %) ÷ 2 = $35
I/YR = ???
The Cost (I/YR) is calculated as 6.82 %. The After tax cost of debt is 4.433 %.
Cost of Equity :
Cost of Equity = Return from risk free security + beta x market premium'
= 5.5 % + 1.06 x 8.5 %
= 14.51 %
Cost of Preferred Stock :
Cost of Preferred Stock = 6 %
therefore,
WACC = 14.51 % x 51.8 % + 6 % x 10.87 %+ 4.433 % x 37.3 %
= 9. 82 %

Suppose during 2022 that Cypress Semiconductor Corporation reported net cash provided by operating activities of $96,447,240, cash used in investing of $46,576,080, and cash used in financing of $7,957,440. In addition, cash spent for fixed assets during the period was $27,888,840. No dividends were paid. Calculate free cash flow. (Show a negative free cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)
Answer:
Free cash flow = $68,558,400
Explanation:
Free cash flow represents the amount that is left to all the providers of capital after the payment of all all operating expenses, working capital and investment in fixed asset expenditures.
It is computed as cash flow made from operation less capital expenditures
Free cash flow = net cashflow from operating activities - fixed assets
= $96,447,240 - $27,888,840
= $68,558,400
Free cash flow = $68,558,400

Explanation:
Hordel Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Hordel expects to sell 6,100 units and wants a target profit of $93 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 80 Variable administrative cost per unit 35 Total fixed overhead 53,000 Total fixed administrative 11,050 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Total variable cost = Variable product cost + Variable administrative cost per unit
= (6,100 × $80 per unit) + (6,100 × $35)
= $488,000 + $213,500
= $701,500
Total fixed cost = Total fixed overhead + Total fixed administrative cost
= $53,000 + $11,050
= $64,050
Total fixed cost per unit = $64,050 ÷ 6,100 = $10.5
Total cost = Total variable cost + Total fixed cost
= $701,500 + $64,050
= $765,550
Target profit = 6,100 × $93 = $567,300
Desired selling price = Total cost + Target profit
= $765,550 + $567,300
= $1,332,850
Desired selling price per unit = $1,332,850 ÷ 6,100 = $218.5
Therefore,
Markup percentage on variable cost
= [(Desired selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Variable cost per unit] × Variable cost per unit
= [($218.5 - 115) ÷ (115)] × 115
= 103.5%

Cusic Music Company is considering the sale of a new sound board used in recording studios. The new board would sell for $24,700, and the company expects to sell 1,640 per year. The company currently sells 1,990 units of its existing model per year. If the new model is introduced, sales of the existing model will fall to 1,660 units per year. The old board retails for $23,100. Variable costs are 53 percent of sales, depreciation on the equipment to produce the new board will be $1,035,000 per year, and fixed costs are $3,250,000 per year. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the annual OCF for the project
Answer: $9,524,922
Explanation:
The annual OCF of the project will be calculated as
= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes
First, we have to calculate the EBIT which will be:
= [ $24,700 x 1,640 - ( 1,990-1,660 x $23,100 ]
= $40,508,000 - (330 × $23100)
= $40,508,000 - $7,623,000
= $ 32,885,000
Variable cost will then be:
= $32,885,000 × 53%
= $32,885,000 x 0.53
= $ 17,429,050
Therefore, EBIT will be:
= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - Fixed cost - depreciation
= $32,885,000 - $ 17,429,050 - $3,250,000 - $1,035,000
= $11,170,950
Then, we calculate the value of tax which will be:
= $11,170,950 x 0.24
= $2,681,028
Therefore, OCF will be:
= EBIT + Depreciation - taxes
= $11,170,950 + $1,035,000 - $2,681,028
= $9,524,922

You would like to combine a risky stock with a beta of 1.68 with a treasury bill in a way that the risk level of the portfolio is equivalent to the risk level of the market. What weight of the portfolio should be invested in the Treasury Bill?
Answer:
0.60 or 60%
Explanation:
Calculation of weight of the portfolio
Assume that the weight is x
x*[Beta of stock) + (1+x)*(Beta of Tbills) = 1
x * (1.68) + (1-x)*(0) = 1
1.68x + (1-x)*0 = 1
1.68x + 0 = 1
x = [1/1.68]
x = 0.5952
x = 0.60 or 60%
So, the weight of the portfolio that should be invested in the Treasury Bill is 0.60 or 60%.

Firm Aay operates a pool hall in Boom Town. Business has been very profitable. However, there are dark clouds on the horizon. Firm Bee is considering entering the pool hall market in Boom Town. The profits of Aay are 15 if it is a monopoly; if Bee enters and Aay accommodates and shares the market the duopoly profits are 5 for each firm; is Bee enters and Aay launches a price war, both firms earn -1.
a) Draw the game tree for this scenario and determine the subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE).
b) What if launching a price war involves not only charging a low price, but printing flyers to inform the public of the great deals available? If there is a price war, both firms print flyers, and the net result of the price war is -1 for each firm (that is, the -1 takes into account the cost of printing the flyers.) Assume that Aay can have flyers printed up prior to Bee's entry decision and that the printing cost is $8. Draw the game tree for this scenario and determine the subgame perfect equilibrium.
c) What does your answer to (b) imply about the relationship between sunk costs, firstmover advantages, and entry deterrence? plz type down u answer
Solution :
a). The game tree is attached below. In the game tree, the (SPE) or subgame perfect equilibrium is for Bee firm to enter and Aay firm to accommodate.
b). If launching the price war consists of not only charging low price, but also printing flyers in order to inform the public.
The game tree is attached below.
In the game tree, it can be explained that :
Aay has a priority printing, cost of printing is 8. If he prints and Bee does not enter equilibrium will be (15-8) = 7, 0. Profit if Bee does not enter.
It is given that if Aay enters and Bee enters, there will be price war = -1, -1
or they will accommodate = (5, 8, 5). Here the profit while accommodating is 5 and printing cost is 3. Therefore, (-3, 5)
c). Sunk cost such as that of printing allows Aay to make a credible threat to engage in a prior war and thus deny entry of Bee.
Now when he had first move advantage and make investment in flyers he could make a credible threat and deter entry of Bee. If he did not have the advantage, his treat would not have much of an effect.

Explanation:
An early frost destroys 20% of the coffee bean crop. If the supply and demand for coffee beans are both relatively inelastic, and the frost does not impact the quality of the coffee beans that make it to market.
Required:
What will most likely occur to the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee beans?
Answer:
Option C, Price will increase, quantity will decrease
Explanation:
The options for the given question are
(A) Price and quantity will both increase
(B) Price and quantity will both decrease
(C) Price will increase, quantity will decrease
(D) Price will decrease, quantity will increase
(E) Price will not change, quantity will decrease
Solution
Inelastic demand of a product means that the price (high or low) of the product does not affect the demand.
Since the frost destroys the crop, then there are probabilities of variation in the price of coffee (price will rise). Price will be increased to fetch the loss because of frost.
Price will increase and quantity will decrease.
Hence, option C is correct

If you keep your game, your analytics team estimates there is a 30% chance your game will be a critical and commercial hit, a 25% chance your game will sell well and make gross revenues of $12 million, and a 45% chance another similar game will come out at the same time and you will make gross revenues of $1 million.
If your game is a critical and commercial hit, there is a 60% chance it is on the "best of the year" lists and makes gross revenues of $64 million, a 35% chance it stays on the top seller lists for weeks and makes gross revenues of $28 million, and a 5% chance it makes gross revenues of $18 million. Assume you make decisions using expected value, and you are an expected value maximizer. If you make the optimal decision, how much will you expect to earn from your game?
