Using a Financial Calculator, the Price of the Bond (PV) is $1,513.30.
What will be the nominal rate of return on a perpetual preferred stock with a $100 par value, a stated dividend of 8% of par, and a current market price of (a) $62, (b) $81, (c) $97, and (d) $136
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the risk premium is shown below:-
Rate of return = Dividend ÷ Current market price of preferred stock
The dividend should be
= $100 × 8%
= $8
a Rate of return = $8 ÷ $62
= 12.90%
b. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $81
= 9.88%
c. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $97
= 8.25%
d. Rate of return = $8 ÷ $136
= 5.88%
Managers must be able to determine whether their workers are doing an effective and efficient job, with a minimum of errors and disruptions. They do so by using a performance appraisal, an evaluation that measures employee performance against established standards in order to make decisions about promotions, compensation, training, or termination. Managing effectively means getting results through top performance. That's what performance appraisals at all levels of the organization are for—including at the top, where managers benefit from review by their subordinates. In the 360-degree review, management gathers opinions from all around the employee, including those under, above, and on the same level, to get an accurate, comprehensive idea of the worker's abilities.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
This system of performance review is a 360-degree review or feedback process where a given employee receives inputs on her performance (or other criteria such as behaviors, competencies and results achieved) from different employees with varying working relationships and at different levels. The idea is to ensure that the employee's performance is not partial or biased. Using this system, the employee who may be a manager will have her performance reviewed by employees below, above, and on the same level with her.
Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on which the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)
What is the optimal production quantity for the card?
Answer:
9644
Explanation:
cost of paper on which a card is printed = $0.40 per card
cost of printing = $0.10 per card
profit made per card sold = $3.75
number of areas where customers are located (n)= 4
mean of customers from each region = 2300
standard deviation for each region = 200
note : each region is independent
The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated going through these steps
first we determine
the cost of card = $0.10 + $0.40 = $0.50
selling value = $3.75
salvage value = 0
next we calculate for the z value
= ( selling value - cost of card) / ( selling price - salvage value )
= ( 3.75 - 0.50 ) / 3.75 = 0.8667
Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV ( 0.8667 )
next we calculate
u = n * mean demand
= 4 * 2300 = 9200
б = [tex]200\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 200 * 2
= 400
Hence optimal production quantity for the card
= u + Z (0.8667 ) * б
= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400
= 9644.3704
≈ 9644
1. Rosa Green estimates the cost of future projects for a large contracting firm. Rosa uses precisely the same techniques to estimate the costs of every potential job and formulates bids by adding a standard profit markup. For some companies, to which the firm offers its services, there are no competitors also seeking their business, so Rosa's company is almost certain to get these companies as clients. For these jobs, Rosa finds that her cost estimates are right, on average. For jobs where competitors are also vying for the business, Rosa finds that they almost always end up costing more than she estimates.
a. True
b. False
2. Rosa is less likely to win the jobs where she underestimates the costs, causing her to experience the winner's curse.
a. False
b. True
Answer:
1) a. True
Rosa is almost always right when she knows that her company is a monopoly, i.e. has no competition, but is generally wrong when her company has to compete with other contractors. It is simple, a monopolist can decide which markup percentage to use, and can use a really high one, but when competition exists, markups are not so high and profits not so abundant. That is why she almost always gets it wrong when having to deal with other competitors.
2) a. False
The winner's curse usually happens when someone wins a bid over some contract or asset, but then they realize that the actual price of the contract or asset was lower than the bid. E.g. in an auction, two people are fighting over to see who buys an antique car which increases the price of the car way beyond the real market value. But it can also happen to a company that offers very low prices, and then after they won a contract, cannot perform properly because their actual costs are higher.
When a company makes an offer, they are certain about the price of the contract and they should know the value of the services or goods that they are offering. If Rosa underestimates her costs, and prepares her offer using unrealistically low costs, then she will probably win the bid but end up losing money.
Elaine Sweeney went to Ragged Mountain Ski Resort in New Hampshire with a friend. Elaine went snow tubing down a run designed exclusively for snow tubers. There were no Ragged Mountain employees present in the snow-tube area to instruct Elaine on the proper use of a snow tube. On her fourth run down the trail, Elaine crossed over the center line between snow-tube lanes, collided with another snow tuber, and was injured. Elaine filed a negligence action against Ragged Mountain seeking compensation for the injuries that she sustained. Two years earlier, the New Hampshire state legislature had enacted a statute that prohibited a person who participates in the sport of skiing from suing a ski-area operator for injuries caused by the risks inherent in skiing. Using the information to answer the following questions.
a. What defense will Ragged Mountain probably assert?
b. The central question in this case is whether the state statute establishing that skiers assume the risks inherent in the sport bars Elaine's suit. What would your decision be on this issue? Why?
c. Suppose that the court concludes that the statute applies only to skiing and not to snow tubing. Will Elaine's lawsuit be successful? Explain.
d. Now suppose that the jury concludes that Elaine was partly at fault for the accident. Under what theory might her damages be reduced in proportion to the degree to which her actions contributed to the accident and her resulting injuries?
Explanation:
1. Ragged mountains assertion of defense is 'assumption of risk'. In this scenario, Elaine Sweeney exposed herself to risk while snow tubing at the absence of an instructor. snow tube run is solely for snow tubers. ragged mountain can use this defense
2. new hampshire has prohibited people from suing for injuries received due to skiing risks. in a case of this sort, ms Elaine would be assumed to know all possible risks involved. the defendant will be favored since it has been advised that people should not go into sports of these sorts witout good training and an instructor.
3. no Elaine's lawsuit will not be successful if the conclusion of the court is that the statue applies to skiing and not to snow tubing. one should be cautious during snow tubing. she went snow tubing without proper care. it is likely that she may not win the case.
4. the theory is contributory negligence theory. her damages is going to be reduced in proportion with the actions that has brought about her accident. for this reason she is partly responsible.
The Ragged Mountains were established in the year 1997 and were made to the knowledge of the public in the year 1999.
The mountains included a collection of Charlottesville surrounded by the river basin everywhere with almost the oak and yellowwoods.
1. The 'assumption of risk' defense is used by the Ragged Mountains. Elaine Sweeney put herself in danger while snow tubing in the absence of an instructor in this scenario.
The snow tube run is exclusively for tubers. This defense can be used by the ragged mountain.
2. The state of New Hampshire has made it illegal to sue for injuries sustained while skiing. In a situation like this, it's reasonable to assume that Ms. Elaine is aware of all potential dangers.
The defendant will be favored because it has been suggested that people should not participate in sports of this nature without proper training and supervision.
3. No, Elaine's lawsuit will fail if the court decides that the statute only applies to skiing and not to snow tubing. Snow tubing should be approached with caution.
She went snow tubing without taking the necessary precautions. It is very likely that she will lose the case.
4. Contributory negligence theory is the fourth theory. Her damages will be reduced in direct proportion to the actions that caused her accident. As a result, she bears some responsibility.

Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question
Company XYZ closed at $53.02 per share with a P/E ratio of 14.02 .
Answer :
A) $3.79
B) underpriced
Explanation:
Given data:
Closing price ( price per share ) = $53.02
P/E ratio = 14.02
A ) How much earnings per share
Earnings per share = price per share / (P/E) ratio
= 53.02 / 14.02 = $3.79
B) To check if the stock is overpriced, underpriced or about right
i) At P/E ratio = 12
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 12 = $4.43
Earning yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 4.43 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 8.33%
ii) At P/E ratio = 13
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 13 = $4.09
Earning Yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= (4.09 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.69%
iii) At P/E ratio = 14
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 14 = $ 3.8
Earnings yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.8 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.14%
The average of the earning yield given P/E ratio is 12-14
= ( 8.33 + 7.69 + 7.14 ) % / 3 = 7.72%
while The earning yield given P/E ratio is 14.02
= ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.79 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.12%
Therefore the stock is underpriced
The revenue recognition principle states that: Multiple Choice Revenue should be recognized in the period goods and services are provided. Revenue should be recognized in the period the cash is received. Revenue should be recognized in the balance sheet. Revenue is a component of common stock.
Answer:
Revenue should be recognized in the period goods and services are provided.
Explanation:
IFRS 15 requires revenue to be recognized when control of goods or services has been made to the customer. Control is when all the risks and benefits associated with the product or service has been transferred to the customer.
At January 1, 2021, Cafe Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
Required:
a. What will be the effect of the lease on Cafe Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
b. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
Café Med
a. Café Med's earnings for the first year will be reduced by $58,000 (Operating lease expense for January 1 and December 31, 2021).
b. In Café Med's Balance Sheet, at the end of the first year, there will be a liability balance or Lease Expense Payable of $29,000 for the balance due to be paid on December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Lease annual payments = $29,000
First payment date = January 1, 2021
Subsequent payment dates = December 31, 2021 to 2028.
Period of lease agreement = 9 years < 75% (9/13)
Cost of equipment to Crescent = $207,000
Lifespan of equipment = 13 years
Residual value at end of the lease term = $94,113
b) Café Med will recognize this lease arrangement as an operating lease. This is based on periodic rental payment on a straight-line basis, which is recorded as an operating lease expense. The liability arising will be for unpaid rentals at the end of the accounting period.

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process.
1. The company has amortized the $19.80 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis, since it was acquired at the beginning of 2012.
2. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost.
3. The decision was made at the end of 2016 (before adjusting and closing entries).
What is the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2016 to reflect the revised estimate.

On January 1, 2021, Taco King leased retail space from Fogelman Properties. The 10-year finance lease requires quarterly variable lease payments equal to 3% of Taco King's sales revenue, with a quarterly sales minimum of $600,000. Payments at the beginning of each quarter are based on previous quarter sales. During the previous 5-year period, Taco King has generated quarterly sales of over $750,000. Fogelman's interest rate, known by Taco King, was 4%. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entries for Taco King at the beginning of the lease at January 1, 2021.

Cash 22,500 credit
April 1st, 2021 entry:
Interest expense 7,537 debit
Lease Liability 15,263 debit
Cash 22,800 credit
Explanation:
We will assume a 750,000 sales revenue per quarter. As this was their historical and expected value:
750,000 x 3% = 22,500 per quarter
Now, we solve for the present value of the lease payment:
[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}(1+r) = PV\\[/tex]
C 22,500
time 40 (10 years x 4 quarter per year)
rate 0.01 (4% annual / 4 quarters)
[tex]22500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.01)^{-40} }{0.01}(1+0.01) = PV\\[/tex]
PV $746,168.2419
we subtract the first payment of 22,500
lease liability reocrded in the enrty: 723.668
As lease sales were 760,000
lease payment: 760,000 x 3% = 22,800
less expected of 22,500 = 300 additional interest expense
interest expense: 723,668 x 0.01 = 7,237 + 300 = 7,537
amortization on lease liability: 22,800 -7,537 = 15,263
Amanda is a twenty-four year old student. For two years Amanda has been going to gym and using weight equipment, stationary bicycles, and step machines to improve muscle tone. One spring afternoon Amanda was using a weight machines in the usual way (and the way she was showed how to use it), when the machine malfunctioned causing her serious injury. The company that made the machine, Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic, the company might want to seriously consider:
a. How this litigation will affect its goodwill
b. Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option
c. Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
d. The costs associated with litigating this claim
e. All of the other choices
Answer:
e. All of the other choices
Explanation:
Product liability is the responsibility that a company bears for injury caused by its products as a result of a defect.
In this instance Musclematic, has known for the past year that this problem existed, but the company took no steps to warn people who owned or used these machines of the problem.
So for any injury users have they will be liable.
If Amanda files a lawsuit against Musclematic they will have to consider:
- How this litigation will affect its goodwill
- Whether or not a settlement with Amanda is a viable option
- Whether this suit will adversely affect other business relationships
- The costs associated with litigating this claim
This is because they will most likely lose the case.
Pham can work as many or as few hours as she wants at the college bookstore for $12 per hour. But due to her hectic schedule, she has just 15 hours per week that she can spend working at either the bookstore or other potential jobs. One potential job, at a café, will pay her $15 per hour for up to 6 hours per week. She has another job offer at a garage that will pay her $13 an hour for up to 5 hours per week. And she has a potential job at a daycare center that will pay her $11.50 per hour for as many hours as she can work.
If her goal is to maximize the amount of money she can make each week, how many hours will she work at the bookstore?
Answer:
4 hours
Explanation:
For Pham to maximize her income, she must consider the jobs with the highest per-hour earnings first. She has 15 hours to work. Her priorities should be as below.
Work at the cafe for 6 hours for $15 per hourWork at the garage for 5 hours for $13 per hourWork at the books store for 4 hours for $12 per hourA total of 15 hours. Pham can work at the book store for 4 hours per week to maximize her income.
Pham will have to work 4 hour per week at the bookstore to maximize her pay.
Given data
Total number of hours available per week = 15 hours
Cafe will pay her $15 per hour up to 6 hoursGarage offers $13 per hour up to 5 hoursDycare Centre offers $11.50 per hours for as long as she can workOut of the potential job, only the cafe and garage centre pay is more than the pay of bookstore
Hence, in order to maximize the amount of money, Pham have to devote 6 hours at the cafe, 5 hours at the garage centre and remaining 4 hours at bookstore,
In this way, the amount of money she will receives will be at maximum.
Working at Cafe she will make $15 * 6 = $90 Working at Garage centre she will make $13 * 5 = $65Working at Bookstore she will make $12*4 = $48Total amount she will earn = $90 + $65 + $48

Actual hourly rate $52 $47
Actual time per app. (hours) 1.4 1.2
Number of actual apps completed 2604 1600
Required:
a. Determine the labor rate and efficiency variances for (a) 14 PT staff and (b) the SD staff hired in June.
b. Comment on the efficiency of the PT and SD staff hired by Empire Mortgage.
Answer:
a. Labor variances for 14 PT staff:
Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)
= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604
= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate
= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50
= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50
= $26,040 (Unfavorable)
Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance
= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)
= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)
Labor variances for 10 SD staff:
Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)
= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600
= $3840 (Unfavorable)
Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate
= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45
= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45
= $14,400 (Favorable)
Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance
= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)
= $10,560 (Favorable)
Formation of Corporation with Transfer of Property from Several Shareholders at Different Times (LO. 1, 7)Jane, Jon, and Clyde incorporate their respective businesses and form Starling Corporation. On March 1 of the current year, Jane exchanges her property (basis of $50,000 and fair market value of $150,000) for 150 shares in Starling Corporation. On April 15, Jon exchanges his property (basis of $70,000 and fair market value of $500,000) for 500 shares in Starling. On May 10, Clyde transfers his property (basis of $90,000 and fair market value of $350,000) for 350 shares in Starling.a. If the three exchanges are part of a pre-arranged plan, who will recognize a gain on the exchanges?SelectOnly ClydeOnly JaneAll of the partiesNone of the partiesCorrect 1 of Item 1.b. Now assume that Jane and Jon exchanged their property for stock four years ago, while Clyde transfers his property for 350 shares in the current year. Clyde's transfer is not part of a pre-arranged plan with Jane and Jon to incorporate their businesses.Clyde will recognize a gain of $ on the transfer.c. Returning to the original facts, assume the property that Clyde contributes has a basis of $490,000 (instead of $90,000). Why would it be better from a tax perspective for Clyde to wait to transfer his property rather than be a part of Jane's and Jon's transfers?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. If the three exchanges are part of a pre-arranged plan, it should be noted that none of them will recognize a gain on the exchanges. Here, my the non-recognition provision applies.
b. Based on the scenario in the question, Clyde will recognize a gain of the amount of the difference between the market value and the basis. This will be:
= $350,000 – $90,000
= $260,000
c. This is because Clyde's loss will be recognized. The loss here will be: = $350,000 - $490,000 = -$140,000.
Brazil has a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate. The typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident. Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and capital, if Brazil opens its borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.
D. Since technologically advanced physical capital is necessary for economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its economic growth rate will be lower because there are not enough skilled workers to operate sophisticated machinery.
Answer:
B)Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed about Brazil having a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. And Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate, and also compare how the typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident.
From the view of New growth theory,the option that explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects is that Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
New growth theory, which was attributed to Paul Romer, explains about Economic growth in the long run in related to internal factors of with knowledge as well as human capital. In this scenario Brazil should arrive to make sure the literacy rate among people is increased as possible
The partnership of Angel Investor Associates began operations on January 1, 20Y5, with contributions from two partners as follows:
Dennis Overton $180,000
Ben Testerman 120,000
The following additional partner transactions took place during the year:
1. In early January, Randy Campbell is admitted to the partnership by contributing $75,000 cash for a 20% interest.
2. Net income of $150,000 was earned in 20Y5. In addition, Dennis Overton received a salary allowance of $40,000 for the year. The three partners agree to an income-sharing ratio equal to their capital balances after admitting Campbell.
3. The partners' withdrawals are equal to half of the increase in their capital balances from salary allowance and income.
Required:
Prepare a statement of partnership equity for the year ended December 31, 20Y5.
Answer:
450000
Explanation:
The statement of partners' capital shows the changes in each partner's capital account for the year or period being reported on. It has the same format as the statement of owner's equity except that it includes a column for each partner and a total column for the company rather than just one column. The statement starts with the beginning capital balance, followed by the amounts of investments made, the share of net income or loss, and withdrawals made during the reporting period to determine the capital balance at the end of the period.

Darnell is buying salad and pizza for a company lunch. Suppose that a bowl of salad costs $4.00, and a slice of pizza costs $2.00. Let E be the amount in dollars that Darnell spends on salad and pizza. If Darnell buys S bowls of salad and P slices of pizza, then the total amount of money he spends ( E ) can be represented by the equation . Now rearrange the equation you wrote above so that P is written in terms of E and S. The quantity of pizza he buys can be represented by the equation . Suppose Darnell has $40.00 to spend on salad and pizza; that is, E=$40.00.
Complete the following table with values of S or P that make the equation true.
To complete the first row, determine the number of pizza slices Paolo can purchase with $40.00, when the number of salad bowls he purchases is 0.
Budget (Dollars) Salad (Bowls) Pizza (Slice)
40.00 0 _____
40.00 4 _____
40.00 _____ 0
Answer:
1. If Darnell buys S bowls of salad and P slices of pizza, then the total amount of money he spends ( E ) can be represented by the equation;
E = 4S + 2P
2. Now rearrange the equation you wrote above so that P is written in terms of E and S. The quantity of pizza he buys can be represented by the equation;
E = 4S + 2P
2P = E - 4S
P = (E - 4S)/2
3. Budget = $40.00. No salad purchased
Pizza = (E - 4S)/2
= (40 - 0)/2
= 20 pizzas
Budget = $40.00. 4 salads purchased
Pizza = (E - 4S)/2
= (40 - 4 * 4)/2
= 12 pizzas
Budget = $40.00. 0 Pizzas.
Salads = 40/4
= 10 salads
Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced is 3 bars and the price is $2. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is $4. In year 3, the quantity produced is 7 bars and the price is $6.
Required:
Using year 1 as the base year, compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and the GDP deflator for each year.
Answer:
Nominal GDP in year 1 = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = $42
Real GDP in year 1 = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = $14
GDP deflator in year 1 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = 300
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP = quantity produced x current year price
Nominal GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $4 = $20
Nominal GDP in year 3 = 7 x $6 = $42
Real GDP = quantity produced x base year price
Real GDP in year 1 = (3 x $2) = $6
Real GDP in year 2 = 5 x $2 = $10
Real GDP in year 3 = 7 x $2 = $14
GDP deflator = nominal GDP / Real GDP x 100
GDP deflator in year 1 = $6 / $6 x 100 = 100
GDP deflator in year 2 = $20 / $10 x 100= 200
GDP deflator in year 3 = $42 / 14 x 100 = 300
Coronado Industries sells 50000 units for $13 a unit. Fixed costs are $350000 and net income is $100000. What should be reported as variable expenses in the CVP income statement?
Answer:
Total variable cost= $200,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coronado Industries sells 50,000 units for $13 a unit. Fixed costs are $350,000 and net income is $100,000.
First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= net income + fixed costs
Total contribution margin= 100,000 + 350,000
Total contribution margin= $450,000
Now, we can calculate the total variable costs:
Total variable cost= Sales - total contribution margin
Total variable cost= 50,000*13 - 450,000
Total variable cost= 200,000
A competitive firm maximizes profit by choosing a level of output where the world price is equal to the firm's
Answer: c. Marginal Cost
Explanation:
A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.
P = MR = AR
Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.
If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.
Two manufacturers, denoted 1 and 2, are competing for 100 identical customers. Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any nonnegtive real number. Let pi and xi denote, respectively, the price and quality of manufacturer i's product. The cost to manufacturer i of producing for one customer is 10+5xi . Note in this expression that the cost is higher when the quality is higher. If manufacturer i sells to qi customers, then its total cost is qi(10+5xi). Each cutomer buys from the manufacturer who offers the greatest value, where the value of buying from manufacturer i is 1000+ xi - pi ; higher quality and lower price means more value. A manufacturer's is qi( pi- 10 - 5xi ). If both manufacturer offers the same value, then 50 customers buy from each manufacturer. If one manufacturer offers higher value, then 100 customers buy from it.
Find all symmetric Nash equilibria.
Answer:
Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Explanation:
The term or concept known as the Nash equilibria is very important and it is often used in the determination of the kind of price strategies companies that are competing against one another will use in order to acquire more customers than the others.
So, in this question/problem we are given that there are two manufacturer that is manufacturer 1 and manufacturer 2. Also, the total number of customers both manufacturers are competing for is equal to 100.
Kindly note that we are given from the question that ''Each manufacturer chooses both the price and quality of its product, where each variable can take any non-negative real number''
If each of the manufacturer has 50 customers each that is symmetric condition.
Assuming we have a condition or situation where p1 is less than p2 for manufacturer 1, it means that manufacture 1 lessens its price, therefore manufacturer 1 will have all all the profit = 100(p1 - 10 - 5x1).
Assuming manufacturer 1 reduces both the quality and the price this time around to the point that it is justifiable to lower the price because of the quality , it means that we will have 1000 + (x1 = 0) + (p1 - compensation m).
For any of the manufacturer, If m> x' and we have that x1 = x'>0[ which is for the quality], then, the profit will be 100(10 + 5x'- m -10).
Also, For any of the manufacturer, if we have x'<m<5x' and x1 for the representation of quality, then, Customers will buy from both manufacturer making m<5x'.
Therefore, Nash equilibrium will occur at the following conditions: P1 = P2 = 10 and x1 = x2 = 0.
Mickey, Mickayla, and Taylor are starting a new business (MMT). To get the business started, Mickey is contributing $200,000 for a 40% ownership interest. Mickayla is contributing a building with a value of $200,000 and a tax basis of $150,000 for a 40% ownership interest, and Taylor is contributing legal services for a 20% ownership interest. Using the research skills you learned in Week 1, access RIA Checkpoint and research what amount of gain/income each owner is required to recognize under each of the following alternative situations?
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Answer:
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §721, but Taylor's doesn't.
Explanation:
Basically §351 and §721 are very similar except that one applies to corporations and the other applies to partnerships and LLCs. No gain will be recognize when assets are transferred in exchange for equity, and the people involved in the exchange can control the company.
