Answer: low (near 0%)
Explanation:
The expected monetary value(EMV) simply refers to the amount of money that an economic agent can expect to make based on a particular decision that's made.
It should be noted that the likelihood that a decision maker will be able to receive a payoff that is exactly as thesame as the EMV when a decision is being made will be near to zero as it's very low that it'll happen.
The following units of a particular item were available for sale during the calendar year:
Jan. 1 Inventory 4,000 units at $20
Apr. 19 Sale 2,500 units
June 30 Purchase 6,000 units at $24
Sept. 2 Sale 4,500 units
Nov. 15 Purchase 1,000 units at $25
The firm maintains a perpetual inventory system. Determine the cost of goods sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale, assuming the first-in, first-out method.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold $152,000
Closing inventory $97,000
Explanation:
Under the FIFO system , inventories are priced using the price of the oldest batch in the stock, after which the price of the next oldest batch and this is done in turn. It is based on the principle that the first batch that arrives the store should be issued first.
Total units sold = 2,500+4,500= 7,000
Using the FIFO method of the perpetual inventory, the 7,000 units sold by will be priced as follows:
2500 units at a price of $20 = $50,000
Next 1500units at a price of $20 = $30,000
Next 3,000 units at a price of $24= $72,000
Cost of goods sold 152,000
Closing inventory = Total cost of goods available for sale- cost of goods sold
Total cost of goods available for sale =
(4,000× 20) + (6,000× 24) + (1,000× $25) = 249,000
Closing inventory = 249,000 - 152,000=$97,000
Cost of goods sold $152,000
Closing inventory $97,000

On Point, Inc., is interested in producing and selling a deluxe electric pencil sharpener. Market research indicates that customers are willing to pay $40 for such a sharpener and that 20,000 units could be sold each year at this price. The cost to produce the sharpener is currently estimated to be $34. a. If On Point requires a 20 percent return on sales to undertake production of a product, what is the target cost for the new pencil sharpener
Answer: $32
Explanation:
The target cost would be such that 20% of the $40 that people are willing to pay would be profit.
The target profit is therefore:
= 20% * 40
= $8
Target cost is therefore:
= Amount customers would pay - Target profit
= 40 - 8
= $32
Answer:
The answer is $32 for sure :)
A leader has a problem of low Product X sales. She meets individually (i.e., one at a time) with a number of her subordinates and shares the problem of low Product X sales. She asks for their ideas and suggestions about how to increase Product X sales and then makes the decision alone based on their input. According to Vroom and Yetton's normative theory of leadership, what decision-making style is the leader using in this situation
Answer: CI consultative.
Explanation:
According to Vroom and Yetton's normative theory of leadership, the decision-making style that the leader is using in this situation is the consultative leadership style.
This is a form of leadership style whereby the leader seeks the opinion of his team members and then uses the input gotten from them to make a final decision. Since the leader meets them individually and seeks their opinion, the leader is using a consultative leadership style.
Whitmer Inc. sells to customers all over the U.S., and all receipts come in to its headquarters in New York City. The firm's average accounts receivable balance is $2.5 million, and they are financed by a bank loan at an 11% annual interest rate. The firm is considering setting up a regional lockbox system to speed up collections, and it believes this would reduce receivables by 20%. If the annual cost of the system is $15,000, what pre-tax net annual savings would be realized
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
Average accounts receivables = $2,500,000. Loan amount is also $2,500,000.
Interest rate is 11%. So, interest paid = $2,500,000*0.11 = $275,000
If the system reduces receivables by 20%,then current receivables = $2,500,000*0.8 = $2,000,000. So, loan amount = $2,000,000
Interest payable = $2,000,000*0.11 = $220,000
Cost of system = $15,000
Net annual savings = Interest payable without system - Interest payable after system installed - Cost of system
Net annual savings = $275,000 - $220,000 - $15,000
Net annual savings = $40,000
Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.25 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 22% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 6% per year.
Required:
What is the value of the stock today?
Answer:
$52.75
Explanation:
the discount rate for this question was not provided. the discount rate used is 10%
Value of the stock in year 1 and 2 = 0
value of the stock in year 3 = $1.25
value of the stock in year 4 = ($1.25 x 1.22) / 1.10^4 = $1.04
value of the stock in year 5 = ($1.25 x 1.22^2) / 1.10^5 = $1.16
value of the stock in perpetuality = ($1.25 x 1.22^2 x 1.06) / (0.1 - 0.06) = $49.30
Value of the stock today = $49.30 + $1.16 + $1.04 + $1.25 = $52.75

To help finance a major expansion, Castro Chemical Company sold a noncallable bond several years ago that now has 20 years to maturity. This bond has a 9.25% annual coupon, paid semiannually, sells at a price of $875, and has a par value of $1,000. If the firm's tax rate is 25%, what is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation
Answer:
8.09%
Explanation:
Semi annual coupon = 1000*(9.25/2)% = 46.25
N = (20*2) = 40
Using Ms Excel to get I/Y
N = 40, PV=-875, PMT = 46.25, FV = 1000
CPT I/Y = I/Y(n, -pv, pmt, fv) * 2
CPT I/Y = I/Y(40, -875, 46.25, 1000) * 2
CPT I/Y = 5.39% * 2
CPT I/Y = 10.78%
After tax cost of debt = 10.78%*(1 - 0.25)
After tax cost of debt = 10.78%*0.75
After tax cost of debt = 0.08085
After tax cost of debt = 8.09%
The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.70. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $3.6 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return.
Required:
a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell.
b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
c. Calculate the present value of growth opportunities.
d. Suppose your research convinces you Analog will announce momentarily that it will immediately reduce its plowback ratio to 1/3. Find the intrinsic value of the stock.
Answer:
a $7.95
b. $2.21
c $16.36
d, $13.01
Explanation:
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 2/3 = 1/3
1/3 x 3.6 = $1.2
r = cost of equity
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
5% + 1.7(15 - 5) = 22%
g = growth rate
g = plowback rate x ROE
2/3 X 9 = 6%
1. [1.2 x 1.06] / (0.22 - 0.06) = 1.272/ 0.16 = $7.95
2.
The price to earning ratio is a financial metric used to value a company. it compares the price of a stock to the earnings of the stock. the lower the metric is, the higher the valuation of the firm
price to earning ratio = market value per share / earnings
$7.95 / $3.6 = $2.21
c. present value of growth opportunities = earnings / cost of equity
3.6 / 0.22 = $16.36
d.
price = [d0 (1+g)] / (r - g)
d0 = recently paid dividend
Dividend = payout ratio x earnings
payout ratio = 1 - plowback rate
1 - 1/3 = 2/3
2/3 x 3.6 = $2.40
r = cost of equity = 22%
g = plowback rate x ROE
1/3 X 9 = 3%
[2.4 x 1.03] / (0.22 - 0.03) = 2.472/ 0.19 = $13.01

(Being the payment of dividend paid)
The computation is shown below;
= (20,000 shares - 3,200 shares) × $0.6
= $10,080
Dividend payable was debited as it decreases liabilities and credited cash as it reduced the assets.
A worker who loses a job at a call center because business firms switch the call center to another country is an example of which type of unemployment?
Answer:
"Structural unemployment" is the right approach.
Explanation:
The terminology economists mischaracterize unemployment, which seems to be the consequences of such an absence or failure of coordination of talents as well as of opportunities, is defined as Structural unemployment.This would be caused by economic shifts that prevent jobless persons from finding opportunities throughout different firms with very high qualifications.Pecan acquires Southern in an acquisition reported as a merger.

Consider the two countries of Swala and Atlantis. Swala is a major producer of wheat and rice while Atlantis specializes in the production of marble and automobile parts. Engaging in free trade benefits both countries since Swala is an agrarian nation and Atlantis lacks arable land. This follows the theory of comparative advantage, and we can say that engaging in free trade benefits all countries that participate in it; however, this conclusion is based on which inaccurate assumptions?
a. We have assumed a simple world in which there are only two countries.
b. We have assumed the prices of resources and exchange rates in the two countries are dynamic.
c. We have assumed there are barriers to the movement of resources from the production of one good to another within the same country.
d. We have assumed that agrarian nations do not specialize in producing fertilizers.
e. We have assumed diminishing returns to specialization.
There are two projects under consideration by the Rainbow factory. Each of the projects will require an initial investment of $35,265 and is expected to generate the following cash flows: First Year Second Year Third Year Total Alpha Project $32,000 $22,500 $4,500 $59,000 Beta Project 8,000 23,000 27,627 58,627 A. Calculate the internal rate of return on both projects. Use the IRR spreadsheet function to calculate internal rate of return. Alpha Project fill in the blank 1 68.275 % Beta Project fill in the blank 2 % B. Make a recommendation on which one to accept.
Answer:
Alpha = 42%
25%
I would accept the alpha project because it has the higher IRR
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Alpha
Cash flow in year 0 = $-35,265
Cash flow in year 1 = $32,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $22,500
Cash flow in year 3 = $4,500
IRR = 42%
Beta
Cash flow in year 0 = $-35,265
Cash flow in year 1 =8,000
Cash flow in year 2 =23,000
Cash flow in year 3 =27,627
IRR = 25%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Midwest Corporation has provided the following data concerning manufacturing overhead for 2020: Two jobs were worked on during the year: Job A-101 and Job A-102. The number of direct labor-hours spent on Job A-101 and Job A-102 were 1,360 and 4,200, respectively. The actual manufacturing overhead was $72,200. What is the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year
Answer:
$16.00
Explanation:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
therefore,
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $32,320 ÷ 2,020
= $16.00
Applied overheads = Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate x Actual activity
therefore,
Applied overheads = $16.00 x 2,410 = $38,560
Conclusion :
Under-applied overheads = $72,200 - $38,560
= $33,640
the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year is $16.00
The shareholders' equity of Green Corporation includes $200,000 of $1 par common stock and $400,000 of 6% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors of Green declared cash dividends of $60,000 in 2011 after paying $20,000 cash dividends in each of 2010 and 2009. What is the amount of dividends common shareholders will receive in 2011?
a. 28000
b. 30000
c. 50000
d. 25000
Answer:
Option a (28000) is the right option.
Explanation:
Given:
Preferred stock,
= $400,000
In year 2009 and 2010, the dividends paid,
= $20,000 each year
Dividends declared,
= $60,000
Now,
The preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]Preferred \ stock\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]400000\times 6 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]24,000[/tex] ($)
Arrears in preferred dividend per year will be:
= [tex]24000-20000[/tex]
= [tex]4000[/tex] ($)
For preferred stock, the total dividends arrears will be,
= [tex]4000\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]8000[/tex] ($)
hence,
The dividends which are received by the common stock holders will be:
= [tex]Dividends \ declared-Preferred \ dividend-Arrears \ in \ preferred \ dividend[/tex]
By putting the values, we get
= [tex]60000-24000-8000[/tex]
= [tex]28000[/tex]
The comparative balance sheets of Greenvale Games, Inc. show a net decrease in unexpired insurance of $400 and a net decrease in interest payable of $250. In order to reconcile net income with net cash flow from operating activities, net income should be:
Answer:
$150 increase
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Decrease in unexpired insurance = $400
Decrease in interest payable = $250
So, we can calculate the net income to reconcile by using following formula,
Net income = Decrease in unexpired insurance - Decrease in interest payable
= $400 - $250
= $150 ( Positive means increase)
So, net income should be increased by $150.
In X1, Adam and Jason formed ABC, LLC, a car dealership in Kansas City. In X2, Adam and Jason realized they needed an advertising expert to assist in their business. Thus, the two members offered Cory, a marketing expert, a one-third capital interest in their partnership for contributing his expert services. Cory agreed to this arrangement and received his capital interest in X2. If the value of the LLC's capital equals $180,000 when Cory receives his one-third capital interest, which of the following tax consequences does not occur in X2?A. Cory reports $60,000 of ordinary income in X2.B. Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2.C. Adam and Jason receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2.D. Cory reports $60,000 of ordinary income in X2, and Adam and Jason receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2.
Answer: B. Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2.
Explanation:
Based on the information given, since the value of the LLC's capital equals $180,000 after Cory receives his one-third capital interest, Cory will report (⅓ × $180000) = $60,000 of ordinary income in X2.
Also, Adam and Jason will receive an ordinary deduction of $30,000 in X2. The sentence that "Adam, Jason, and Cory receive an ordinary deduction of $20,000 in X2" is wrong. They do not get sane amount as Cory gets a higher amount.
If an announcement by a firm causes the price of that firm's stock to suddenly change, that price change will most likely be driven by:________.
a. the unexpected part of the announcement.
b. the expected part of the announcement
c. market inefficiency
d. systematic risk
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: The unexpected part of the announcement.
Explanation:
To begin with, the stock market is characterized for being completely umpredictable due to the fact that the information available for the common people is not enough to predict the possible behaviors of the prices, so that means that when an unexpected announcement happens and nobody new about it then the market will react depending on how it takes the new so that explains that if something not good happens all the sudden the priece of the stocks of that company will probably go down due to the bad reception of the news.

Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
The four factors of production are;
I. Land: this refers to the natural resources and raw materials extracted from the ground or grown in the soil e.g oil, gold, rubber, cocoa, etc.
II. Labor (working): this is the human capital or workers who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing and managing all the aspects of production.
III. Capital resources: it includes the physical assets used for production of goods and services such as equipment, money, plant, etc.
IV. Entrepreneurship: it is intellectual capacity required to drive a business and the skills to develop an idea into a money making venture (business).
These four (4) factors of production when combined effectively and efficiently are used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services that meets the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
A public good is a good whose benefits cannot readily be restricted to a small group of people.
This ultimately implies that, a public good such as power utility (electricity) or water supply is capable of being provided simultaneously to the general public.
Furthermore, a public good is non-excludable and cannot be exhausted due to its use by the general public i.e it's never depleted.

Increases natural rate of unemployment reducing workers' collective bargaining rights extra financial benefits for the unemployed a large number of young people entering the labor force an increase in union membership Decreases natural rate of unemployment
Answer:
increases natural rate of unemployment
extra financial benefits for the unemployed
a large number of young people entering the labor force
an increase in union membership
Decreases natural rate of unemployment
reducing workers' collective bargaining rights
Explanation:
natural rate of unemployment is unemployment that exists when there is only structural and frictional unemployment in an economy
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment . the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
If the unemployed are given extra benefits, there would be less incentive to find a job, thus unemployment would increase
An increase in union membership increases bargaining power of employees. this can lead to increase in wages. increase in wages reduces demand for labour and this increases unemployment. reducing collective bargaining right has the opposite effect on unemployment
a large number of people entering the labour force increases frictional unemployment

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.7 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.67 million per year for 9 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 6.12 percent and a cost of equity of 11.61 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .77 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
$660,000
Explanation:
WACC = [wD * kD * (1 - t)] + [wE * kE]
WACC = [(0.77 / 1.77)*6.12%* (1 - 0.40)] + [(1 / 1.77)*11.61%]
WACC = 1.60% + 6.56%
WACC = 8.16%
Present value of annuity = Annuity*[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
Present value of annuity = $1.67*[1-(1.08156745763)^-9]/0.0816
Present value of annuity = $1.67*6.206374532
Present value of annuity = $10.36 million
NPV = Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows
NPV = $10.36 million - $9.7 million
NPV = $660,000
1. Assume that your company is considering the lease of one of these HP copiers, and you expect that the average price for a color copy for your company would be $0.110 because you would carefully prioritize color copy jobs and reduce the number of copies requiring a large amount of color. You expect that training your copy center staff to properly use the new copier would cost about $6,150 for materials and lost work time. What is the breakeven number of color copies per year that would make you indifferent between the new HP copier and your current copier
Answer: 246,000 color copies
Explanation:
Cost of printing color pages using the old machine is not included so we will infer that.
We shall assume the cost of that to be $0.135.
In using this new copier made by HP, the cost saved per copy is:
= 0.135 - 0.110
= $0.025
The breakeven number of color copies that would make you indifferent would be the number of copies that would lead to a savings of $6,150 incurred on account of training the staff:
= 6,150 / 0.025
= 246,000 copies
