Suppose that you are running a business, and you need some extra space for one year. Your bank offers you a loan of $200,000 at 0% interest. You consider borrowing this amount to buy the building, use it for one year, and then sell the building to pay back the loan. Unfortunately, the economy in which you are operating is experiencing deflation at the rate of 10% per year. After one year, you should be able to sell the building for____.
Suppose that owning the building for a year would earn you $12,000. To decide whether you will be better off by owning it for one year and then selling it, you seek advice from three different people: (1) Your brother says that you should not buy the building because in one year it will cost you $200,000. (2) Your accountant says that you should definitely buy the building because you can borrow $200,000 at zero interest while the building will generate $12,000 in extra income. Then when you sell it, you will be $12,000 richer. (3) Your bookkeeper says that if you sell the building in a year, you will have to come up with more money to pay off the loan than you will make in extra income.
Keeping in mind that the economy experiences deflation at the rate of 10%, who is right?
A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.
B. Your brother is correct, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, the cost of a building is its full purchase price.
C. Your accountant is right, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, you do not incur any cost when you take out a loan.
Now, suppose you inherited $200,000 in cash from your uncle who had kept it hidden in his mattress. Assuming the nominal interest rate is -1%, which of the following options will maximize the amount of cash that you have in one year?
A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.
B. Buying the building, because you can earn an additional $12,000 in income if you own the building for one year and then sell it.
C. Depositing the cash in the bank, because the 10% rate of deflation makes the value of your dollars fall even more rapidly than 1% per year.
A high real interest rate will keep firms from borrowing to finance investment in capital, but it will not keep firms with cash from investing in capital.
A. False
B. True

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1

The building will depreciate by 10% in one year so in one year you will only be able to sell it for:

= 200,000 * ( 1 - 10%)

= $180,000

Question 2.

A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.

If you buy the building, you will have to pay back $200,000 in a year.

However, you will only be able to sell the building for $180,000 and you will receive an income of $12,000 for a total of:

= 180,000 + 18,000

= $192,000

This is $8,000 less than the $200,000 you borrowed so you will pay back more than you borrowed.

Question 3

A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.

Holding your cash is the best option because investing in the building would lead to a loss of $8,000 after a year.

The bank would also reduce your balance by 1%. It is therefore best to hold the money.

Question 4

A. False

Companies with cash still have to make decisions based on gains and they will stand to gain more if they deposited their money because this would give them more interest profits.

What is Frieda%u2019s weighted average cost of capital?
a. 16%
b. 18%
c. 24%
d. 22%

Answers

Answer:

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

w represents the weight of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively r represents the cost of each componentrD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt

WACC = 0.2 * 0.16   +   0.8 * 0.185

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Connolly Company produces two types of lamps, classic and fancy, with unit contribution margins of $13 and $21, respectively. Each lamp must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns four machines that together provide 18,000 hours of machine time per year. The classic lamp requires 0.20 hours of machine time, the fancy lamp requires 0.50 hours of machine time.

How many of each type of lamp must be sold to optimize total contribution margin?

a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
b. 0 classic lamps; 9,000 fancy lamps
c. 18,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
d. 0 classic lamps; 30,000 fancy lamps
e. 10,000 classic lamps; 10,000 fancy lamps

Answers

Answer:

a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps

Explanation:

To determine the optimise total contribution, we need to calculate the contribution margin per hour of machine time for both the lamps. Then the result of whichever is higher would be produced.

Moreover, as there is no limitation on how many lamps can be produced, therefore, we would assume that we can make as many as we want up to the limit of machine-hours available. The calculation is done as follows:

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one classic lamp

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 13 / 0.2

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 65

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one fancy lamp

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 21 / 0.5

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 42

Since classic lamp has the higher contribution margin per hour. Therefore, all the machine hours would be used to make classic lamps.

= 18,000 / 0.2

= 90,000

Hence, 90,000 classic lamps would be sold while no fancy lamps will be sold to optimise total contribution (which would be 65 x 18,000 = $1,170,000).

Review each of the following independent sets of conditions. For each condition, calculate the (1) sample rate of deviation, and use the AICPA sample evaluation tables to identify the (2) upper limit rate of deviation, and (3) allowance for sampling risk (n = sample size, d = deviations. ROO = risk of overreliance). (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

a. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 5%.
b. n = 100. d = 4. ROO = 5%.
c. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 10%.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 5%.

i. Sample rate of deviation will be:

= Number of Deviations / Sample size

= 8/100

= 8%

ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 14%

iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:

= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition

= 14% - 8%

= 6%

b. n = 100. d = 4. ROO = 5%.

i. Sample rate of deviation will be:

= Number of Deviations / Sample size

= 4/100

= 4%

ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 9%

iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:

= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition

= 9% - 4%

= 5%

c. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 10%.

i. Sample rate of deviation will be:

= Number of Deviations / Sample size

= 8/100

= 8%

ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 12.7%

iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:

= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition

= 12.7% - 8%

= 4.7%

Metaline Corp. uses the weighted average method for inventory costs and had the following information available for the year. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the year: Beginning Work in Process (30% complete, $2,500) 340 units Ending inventory of Work in Process (70% complete) 540 units Total units started during the year

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete as you didn't provide the value for the total units started during the year. Let's assume that it is 3000.

Firstly, the units transferred for the year will be:

= Opening Stock + Total units started during the year - Ending inventory

= 340 + 3000 - 540

= 2800

Therefore, the equivalent units of production for the year will be:

= Transferred Units + (Closing work in progress × percentage of completion)

= 2800 + (70% × 540)

= 2800 + (0.7 × 540)

= 2800 + 378

= 3178

Therefore, the equivalent units of production for the year is 3178.

In business ethics, which of the following is not an adequate moral claim of economic
theory?

Answers

A business is a productive organization—an organization whose purpose is to create goods and services for sale, usually at a profit. Business is also an activity. One entity (e.g., a person, an organization) “does business” with another when it exchanges a good or service for valuable consideration. Business ethics can thus be understood as the study of the ethical dimensions of productive organizations and commercial activities. This includes ethical analyses of the production, distribution, marketing, sale, and consumption of goods and services

Baltimore Inc. reported pretax GAAP income of $45,000 in 2020. In analyzing differences between GAAP income and taxable income, the company determined that it had deducted $5,000 in nondeductible fines and added $2,800 in tax-exempt municipal interest revenue to GAAP income. The statutory tax rate is 25%. Determine the following:

a. Taxable income
b. Income tax payable
c. Income tax expense
d. Net income

Answers

Answer:

Baltimore Inc.

a. Total taxable income = $47,200

b. Income tax payable = $11,800

c. Income tax expense = $11,250

d. Net income = $33,750

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

GAAP determined pretax income =      $45,000

Add nondeductible fines                           5,000

Less exempt municipal interest revenue 2,800

Total taxable income                             $47,200

Income tax (25%)                                      11,800

Income tax expense:

GAAP determined pretax income =      $45,000

Income tax (25%)                                       11,250

Net income                                            $33,750

b) The differences between the GAAP determined pretax income and the tax determined taxable income are due to permanent differences (not temporary).  This implies that there are no deferred tax assets and liabilities and no recoveries from deferred taxes.  However, in reporting its financial performance for the year, Baltimore Inc. still has to comply with the GAAP rules and not the tax rules.

g Customers arrive at the window at a rate of 12 per hour and it take the teller 4 minutes, on average, to serve a customer. Use this information to calculate the requested items in columns a and b. The BHFC's operations manager is considering adding a second window to this branch which would cost the bank $20,000 annually. The operations manager also estimates the bank's revenue will increase by $2,000 annually for each minute of reduction in custimer waiting time. Should the BHFC add the second window?

Answers

Answer:

The BHFC

The BHFC should add the second window as it will half customer's waiting time and increase revenue for the branch.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Customers arrival rate at the window = 12/hour

equivalent to 12/60 minutes or 1/5 minutes

Time the teller takes to serve a customer = 4 minutes

Total time to serve 12 customers in an hour = 48 minutes

Cost of adding a second window to the branch = $20,000

Savings in reducing customer waiting time = $2,000

Average customer waiting time = 4 minutes

Total time to serve 12 customers in an hour using the second window = 24 minutes (48/2)

Therefore, customers waiting time will half to 2 minutes (4/2)

Increase in revenue by the reduction in customer waiting time = $2,000 * 24 = $48,000

Net saving = $28,000 ($48,000 - $20,000)

A firm is operating in the United States with only two other competitors in the industry. a. It is likely this industry would be characterized as: multiple choice 1 perfectly competitive. oligopoly. pure monopoly. monopolistically competitive. b. Firms in this industry will likely earn: multiple choice 2 an economic profit. a normal profit. an economic loss. c. If foreign firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that: multiple choice 3 economic losses will become smaller. normal profits will increase. economic profits will increase. economic profits will fall.

Answers

Answer:

a. Oligopoly.

b. an economic profit.

c. economic profits will fall.

Explanation:

An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.

Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, which may either be similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.

The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;

I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.

II. It's a market that is typically controlled by many small firms.

III. Difficult entry to new firms.

In this scenario, a business firm is operating in the United States with only two other competitors in the industry. Thus, the following can be stated about the business firm;

a. It is likely this industry would be characterized as an oligopoly.

b. Firms in this industry will likely earn an economic profit.

c. If foreign firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall.

In conclusion, a business firm operating in this industry (oligopolistic market) will likely earn an economic profit. Also, if foreign business firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall because the industry is now being competitive and controlled by other business firms.

You discover a technical ‘anomaly’ in the US stock market. You find that stocks that go up X% or more 2 days in a row have an expected alpha of X/100% the following day (for example if a stock goes up 6% and 9%, then the next day its expected alpha is 0.06%). Suppose stock A has a BID-ASK spread of 0.2%, and has gone up 10% and 15% percent in the last 2 days. What is your expected profit (in dollars) if you choose to implement your strategy and take a $1000 position in the stock for one day?

Answers

Answer:

expected profit =  -$ 1 ( this means that you incurred a loss )

Explanation:

Given that the alpha is calculated as : X / 100%

And

stock A has a spread of = 0.2% and has gone up by 10% and 15%

The alpha = 10 / 100% = 0.10%

Hence when you take a $1000 position the profit = 1000 * (0.001 - 0.002 )

                                                                                    = 1000 * (-0.001 ) = -$1

Suppose Abercrombie & Fitch sells clothing in a monopolistically competitive market and that a farmer sells oranges in a perfectly competitive market.
1.) Draw the type of demand curve likely faced by Abercrombie & Fitch. Label this line DAF.
2.) Draw the type of demand curve faced by an individual orange farmer. Label this line DOranges. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

Answers

Answer:

Please check the attached images for the required demand curves

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

Alberto has decided to file a charge that management is not abiding by the terms of the negotiated agreement. Alberto's complaint is called a grievance.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

A) true

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Management at Enomoto Enterprises has assigned Alberto to work at two different facilities, which will require him to commute an extra 25 miles on the days he must work at both plants. Alberto believes that the negotiated labor-management agreement requires the company to reimburse him for the extra mileage he has to drive. Management disagrees. Alberto has decided to file a charge that management is not abiding by the terms of the negotiated agreement. In this case, Alberto's complaint is called a grievance.

Grievance handling can be regarded as the management of employee

dissatisfaction as well as employee complaints such as workplace harassment, management not following terms of negotiated agreement,

wage cuts as well as favouritism. formal grievance handling procedures can be set up by management to give enablement for employees to raise their concerns. Unresolved Grievances could result in form of collective disputes and the morale and efficiency of of employees can be lowered

Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Digby to pull the product Daze entirely off the market this year. Assume Digby scraps all capacity and inventory this round, completely writing off those assets and escrowing the proceeds to a settlement fund, and assume these lawsuits will have no effect on any other products of Digby or other companies. Without Digby's product Daze how much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories.

Answer:

The total capacity of the market in core products less the Digby's Deft is 10860 thousand units.

Explanation:

In order to completely answer the question, the complete question is found online. This question was missing some table attachments which are attached with it.

From the table, it is first noted that the core products are listed which are as below:

AxeBoltBuzzDeft Dim

Now as mentioned in the question, deft is to be ignored so the remaining options are:

AxeBoltBuzzDim

Now the capacities of these are included which are found from the table and are as follow:

Axe=2050

Bolt=1040

Buzz=1040

Dim=1300

So the total capacity of 1 shift is

Axe+Bolt+Buzz+Dim=2050+1040+1040+1300=5430 units

As there are two shifts running so the total capacity is 5430x2=10860

So the total capacity of market in core products less the Digby's Deft is 10860 thousand units.

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.

Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?

Answers

Answer:

Benzion Barlev of New York University

NEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:

= 81%

b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:

= 19%

c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:

= $1,246,100.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Mean total cost (x) = $850,000

Standard deviation = $170,000

Revenue = $1,000,000

Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation

= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000

= $150,000/$170,000

= 0.882

From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%

Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)

To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:

(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33

(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000

= $396,100

(R - $850,000) = $396,100

R = $396,100 + $850,000

R = $1,246,100

b. decrease by $_________

Answers

Answer: 1. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.

2. Increases by $10,000,000

Explanation:

1. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)

These include special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.

2. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?

This will be:

= Units × (special order price-variable costs)

= 5000 × ($18000 - $10000 - $2000 - $4000)

= 5000 × $2000

=$10,000,000

Therefore, it increases by $10,000,000

These cash inflows have an initial investment of $7,139,000. At what discount rate would this present value be the same as the initial investment

Answers

Answer:

The discount rate of 8% for 11 year period provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to the initial investment.

Explanation:

Using the table of present value of annuity provided, we can check the rate and time period which is return the present value of cash flows from the project to be equal to initial Investment.

We are told that the Project's life is expected to be 11 Years. Thus using the 11 year period from the table we can see the following rates,

11 Year Period

Rate = 5%  ,  Annuity Factor = 8.3064  

Rate = 6%  ,  Annuity Factor = 7.8869

Rate = 7%  ,  Annuity Factor = 7.4987

Rate = 8%  ,  Annuity Factor = 7.1390

Rate = 9%  ,  Annuity Factor =  6.8052

We know that the annual cash flows from the project is $1,000,000 and we know the Initial Outlay is $7,139,000.

Multiplying the annual cash flow from the above annuity factors for each rate we can see which rate provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to initial outlay.

Rate = 5%  ,  Present value = 8.3064 *  1000000    = $8,306,400  

Rate = 6%  ,  Annuity Factor = 7.8869 *  1000000    = $7,886,900

Rate = 7%  ,  Annuity Factor = 7.4987 *  1000000    = $7,498,700

Rate = 8%  ,  Annuity Factor = 7.1390 *  1000000    = $7,139,000

Rate = 9%  ,  Annuity Factor =  6.8052 *  1000000    = $6,805,200

From the above calculation we can see that the rate of 8% provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to the initial investment.

Novak Corp. has 6000 shares of 5%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 12000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2018. The board of directors declares and pays a $55800 dividend in 2019 and in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the above data,

Preferred shares = 6,000 shares × $100 = $600,000

Dividend on preference shares = $600,000 × 5% = $30,000 per year

Dividend declared in 2019

= $55,800

Preferred dividend in 2019 = $30,000 × 2 = $60,000

Dividend declared in 2020 =$55,800

Preferred dividend declared in 2020 = $30,000 + $4,200 = $34,200

Dividend paid to common stock holders = $55,800 - $34,200 = $21,600
