Answer:
b. Yes, but only if it were substantially certain that Baxter would experience apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact;
Explanation:
I'm not really sure how someone cannot tell a film is being shot, but if Barbara Baxter can prove that she actually thought her life was in danger by the actor running with the fake gun, then she could sue Meadow and the production team. This is rather unusual since filming a scene requires a lot of people, but maybe they were all inside.

Home Inspirations. Hailey works for her father in a family-owned business called Home Inspirations, a bedding company that has been in operation since the 1800s. When her father retires, Hailey plans on taking over the business. Hailey is aware of many things about the company that she likes, and a few things that she does not. She has particularly noted that when the economy has low unemployment and high total income, sales are great. However, at any other time, sales are not so good.
Currently, all of the bedding items are created in one place and everyone works on various tasks every day. Hailey is thinking about streamlining the production process so that individuals would be responsible for only one task. She believes that if production would increases, she could sell her products at a lower price and increase revenue. She knows that most bedding products available in the market are very similar in nature and satisfy the same need. However, if she were able to lower prices, this might give her company the competitive advantage that it needs. She would then be able to invest money in differentiating her products by providing unique features, building the brand name, and offering services such as free delivery. She is also considering selling her products on the Internet. Hailey knows that her father does not like change very much, but she feels these changes are important for the future of the company.
Hailey feels that for productivity to improve, the company must practice: _________.
a. Free enterprise,
b. Work ethics,
c. Specialization,
d. Cultural diversity,
e. Pure competition.
Answer:
c. Specialization,
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that she selling her product on the internet and she knows her father does not like the changes but she knows that it would be important for the company .
So here if she wants to improve the productivity of the product so she must practice in specialization as if the product is different from the competitor in terms of quality, price, quantity, attractiveness, etc so the chances of increasing the sales would be high
Hence, the option c is correct

Calculate the transaction value (in $ thousands) of a theoretical company based on the information provided below. Current Share Price $18.00 Shares Outstanding (Thousands) 5,000 Total Debt ($ Thousands) $3,700 Cash ($ Thousands) $2,100 Acquisition Premium 10% Review Later $82,600 $115,700 $97,600 $100,600
Answer:
The Transaction Value (in $ thousands) is:
= $97,240
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current Share Price $18.00
Shares Outstanding (Thousands) 5,000
Total market value = $90,000 ($18 * 5,000)
Total Debt ($ Thousands) $3,700
Cash ($ Thousands) $2,100
Net liability = $1,600 ($3,700 - $2,100)
Net fair value = $88,400
Acquisition Premium 10%
Premium = $8,840 ($88,400 * 10%)
Acquisition or Transaction value = $97,240 ($88,00 * 1.1)
b) The transaction value is the acquisition value of the theoretical company.
A sporting goods manufacturer budgets production of 59,000 pairs of ski boots in the first quarter and 50,000 pairs in the second quarter of the upcoming year. Each pair of boots requires 2 kilograms (kg) of a key raw material. The company aims to end each quarter with ending raw materials inventory equal to 20% of the following quarter's material needs. Beginning inventory for this material is 23,600 kg and the cost per kg is $8. What is the budgeted materials purchases cost for the first quarter?
Answer:
Purchases= 114,400 kg
Total purchase cost= $915,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= 23,600 kg
Cost per kg= $8
Production= 59,000 pairs
Desired ending inventory= (50,000*0.2)*2= 20,000 kg
To calculate the purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 59,000*2 + 20,000 - 23,600
Purchases= 114,400 kg
Total purchase cost= 114,400*8= $915,200
XYZ stock price and dividend history are as follows: Year Beginning-of-Year Price Dividend Paid at Year-End 2015 $ 134 $ 3 2016 150 3 2017 125 3 2018 130 3 An investor buys five shares of XYZ at the beginning of 2015, buys another two shares at the beginning of 2016, sells one share at the beginning of 2017, and sells all six remaining shares at the beginning of 2018. a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor
Answer:
a. We have:
Arithmetic mean = 2.62%
Geometric mean = 1.82%
b. From the attached excel file, the total cash flow for each year are as follows:
January 1, 2015 Total Cash Flow = -$650
January 1, 2016 Total Cash Flow = -$273
January 1, 2017 Total Cash Flow = $141
January 1, 2018 Total Cash Flow = $768
Explanation:
Note: The requirement of this question is not complete. The complete requirement is therefore given before answering the question as follows:
a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor.
b. Prepare a chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The following sorted table is given in the question:
Year Beginning-of-Year Price Dividend Paid at Year-End
2015 $ 134 $ 3
2016 150 3
2017 125 3
2018 130 3
a. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor.
The arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return for the investor can be calculated as follows:
Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)
Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)
Where;
n = years 1, 2, 3….
r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….
Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)
Using equation (3), we have:
2016 Return = ((150 - 134) + 3) /134 = 0.141791044776119
2017 Return = ((125 - 150) + 3) /150 = -0.146666666666667
2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333
Using equation (1), we have:
Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1417910447761190 - 0.1466666666666670 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0262, or 2.62%
Using equation (2), we have:
Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.141791044776119) * (1 - 0.146666666666667) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0182, or 1.82%
b. Prepare a chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
Note: See the attached excel file for the chart of cash flows for the four dates corresponding to the turns of the year for January 1, 2015, to January 1, 2018.
In the attached excel file, Beginning-of-Year Price for January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2016 are negative because the purchase of stock is a cash outflow.
Q 9.20: City Mission is a not-for-profit organization that provides hot meals, living quarters, and showers for homeless people. Based on their yearly budget, they expect to spend $450,000 on food expenses, $350,000 on housing expenses, $280,000 on staff salaries, $90,000 on utilities, and $118,000 on other expenses. How much will City Mission need to raise in donations
Answer:
at least $1,288,000 in donation
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, we would add up all the expenses to arrive at how much donation that need City Mission needs to raise.
= Expenses on food + Housing expenses + Staff salaries + Utilities + Other expenses
= $450,000 + $350,000 + $280,000 + $90,000 + $118,000
= $1,288,000
The above is a large sum of money to raise only from donations, and by right a level or various levels of government should help pay for these expenses as no one go homeless either that or provide low cost homes for the homeless.

Randall Company manufactures products to customer specifications. A job costing system is used to accumulate production costs. Factory overhead cost was applied at 125% of direct labor cost. Selected data concerning the past year's operation of the company are presented below. January 1 December 31 Direct materials $ 77,000 $ 40,000 Work in process 66,000 42,000 Finished goods 115,000 100,000 Other information Direct materials purchases $ 324,000 Cost of goods available for sale 950,000 Actual factory overhead costs 260,000 The cost of direct materials used for production is:
Answer:
$361,000
Explanation:
Direct materials used = Beginning Materials + Purchases - Ending Materials
therefore,
Direct materials used = $ 77,000 + $ 324,000 - $ 40,000 = $361,000
Conclusion
The cost of direct materials used for production is $361,000.
You are the president of an internet company that has enjoyed great success. You are considering expanding operations into the South American markets and need to raise $500 million of additional funding to do so. You are considering borrowing the money in the bond market at a 8% rate or issuing an additional public offering of common stock. The company treasurer, Chris, suggests an issuance of preferred stock instead. How is preferred stock different than bonds or common stock
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
A bond is regarded as a fixed income instrument and it's a loan that an investor makes to a borrower. On the other hand, in preference shares, dividends have to be paid out to the shareholders before the issuance of common stock dividends.
We should note that whilw bonds typically have a maturity date, the preference shares do not have a maturity date.
During bankruptcy, bondholders are more likely to get paid than the holders of preference shares. When there's default, bondholders can go to court since they've a legal obligation to get paid unlike the holders of preference shares who do not.
Discounting Cash Flows and Earnings. Under the residual income approach and the discounted cash flow approach to firm valuation, carnings and cash flows, respectively, are discounted using a firm's cost of equity. Discuss why the cost of equity is the appropriate discount rate to use to discount a firm's camings and cash flows. Why is the cost of debt inappropriate to use to discount a firm's earnings or cash flows
Answer:
Cost of debt is used for external source of finance whereas cost of equity is used for internal source of finance.
Explanation:
Debt is the fund borrowed from lender at a standard rate of interest. Equity is fund acquired by the investors and shareholders. The required rate of return for equity is higher than the rate of return to the debt holders. This is because debt holders are safe and they are paid first in case of a bankruptcy and liquidity situation of a company. Debt is considered as cheap source of finance but acquiring higher debt will increase company gearing. It is not suitable to use cost of debt as discount factor for the cash flows of the company. The best and ideal discount factor is WACC which is derived by the combination of debt and equity.
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _____________ and ___________. Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good.
Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $2,040. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 420 students, asking each of them their willingness-to-pay for the beautification project. The average willingness-to-pay, as revealed by the survey, is $12.
The benefit of the beatification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ __________ Because the estimated benefit is ____________ than the
cost, the college administrators ______________ undertake the beautification in initiative.
The calculation of the benefit of the beatification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to accurately capture the true willingness-to-pay of each student.
Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading willingness-to-pay data? Check all that apply.
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
b. An equal number of male and female students were surveyed.
Answer:
non rival, non excludable
$5040
greater
will
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere.
Explanation:
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous.
Because a student is enjoying the visual appearance of the campus, another student is not prevented from enjoying the visual appearance of the campus. This means that the beautification initiative is non rivalrous
There is no way to prevent any student from viewing the initiative. This means it is non excludable
Benefit can be calculated using the willingness to pay of student
the price a student is willing to pay would be dependent on the amount of benefit she expects to derive from the project
benefit = 420 x $12 = $5040
The beautification initiative generates a positive externality
A good or initiative has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost
Because the good generates positive externality, the initiative should be carried out
If . Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative Will not be spent elsewhere, they would quote a lower willingess to pay
Gallerani Corporation has received a request for a special order of 4,300 units of product A90 for $26.90 each. Product A90's unit product cost is $26.40, determined as follows: Direct materials$2.55 Direct labor 7.85 Variable manufacturing overhead 6.95 Fixed manufacturing overhead 9.05 Unit product cost$26.40 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The customer would like modifications made to product A90 that would increase the variable costs by $3.30 per unit and that would require an investment of $22,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value. This special order would have no effect on the company's other sales. The company has ample spare capacity for producing the special order. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of accepting this special order should be:
Answer:
Effect on income= $4,875 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Production costs:
Direct materials$2.55
Direct labor 7.85
Variable manufacturing overhead 6.95
Total= $17.35
Special offer:
Selling price= $26.9
Number of units= 4,300
Increase in variable cost= $3.3
Increase in fixed costs= $22,000
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= incremental contribution margin - incremental fixed costs
Effect on income= 4,300*(26.9 - 17.35 - 3.3) - 22,000
Effect on income= $4,875 increase

Answer: $ 4718.9869 equation editorEquation Editor b) If the bikes are sold for $200 each, what is the profit (or loss) on the first 30 bikes
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
A manufacturer of mountain bikes has the following marginal cost function:
[tex]$C'(q)=\frac{700}{0.7q+8}$[/tex]
where q is the quantity of bicycles produced.
When calculating the marginal revenue and marginal profit in this problem, use the approach given for the marginal cost and marginal revenue in the discussions in your textbook.
a) If the fixed cost in producing the bicycles is $2800, find the total cost to produce 30 bicycles?
b) If the bikes are sold for $200 each, what is the profit (or loss) on the first 30 bikes?
Solution :
Given :
[tex]$C'(q)=\frac{700}{0.7q+8}$[/tex]
a). Fixed cost, FC = $ 2800
Total cost to produce 30 bicycles is :
[tex]$C = 2800 + \int_0^{30} C'(q) \ dq$[/tex]
[tex]$ = 2800 + \int_0^{30} \frac{700}{0.7q+8} \ dq$[/tex]
[tex]$= 2800+700\left[\frac{\ln (0.7q+8)}{0.7}\right]^{30}_0$[/tex]
[tex]$=2800+1000[\ln ((0.7 \times 30)+8)- \ln 8 ]$[/tex]
[tex]$= 2800 +1000 [\ln 29 - \ln 8]$[/tex]
= 2800 + 1287.85
= $ 4087.85
b). Total selling price = $ (200 x 30)
= $ 6000
Profit = 6000 - 4087.85
= $ 1912.15
