Gretchen has just started as a fashion marketing intern for an up-and-coming design firm. When she came in, she was asked to work on a project identifying important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. She soon realized that this activity was part of _____________, directly related to marketing.
Answer:
A push-pull strategy
Explanation:
The Push strategy is an aspect of marketing where the marketer aims at taking his products directly to a target audience. This is done so as to stimulate the interest of the consumer in that particular product. Developing brands tend to employ this strategy to showcase themselves to the consumer in hopes of getting them attracted to their products. This is the strategy which the up-and-coming design firm is trying to employ when they seek to identify important events where celebrities might wear the fashions. They engage in this activity because they want to showcase their designs to the target audience- the celebrities.
Pull strategy is the opposite of this strategy as customers are now aware of the reputation of the brand and then seek them out on their own.
Susan wants to prepare a presentation that will calculate the total cost of ownership for the system. What financial analysis tools are available to her, and what are the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of each tool
Personal Trainer, Inc. owns and operates fitness centers in a dozen Midwestern cities. The centers have done well, and the company is planning an international expansion by opening a new “supercenter” in the Toronto area. Personal Trainer’s president, Cassia Umi, hired an IT consultant, Susan Park, to help develop an information system for the new facility. During the project, Susan will work closely with Gray Lewis, who will manage the new operation. Background
During data and process modeling, Susan Park developed a logical model of the proposed system. She drew an entity-relationship diagram and constructed a set of leveled and balanced DFDs. Now Susan is ready to consider various development strategies for the new system. She will investigate traditional and Web-based approaches and weigh the pros and cons of in-house development versus other alternatives.
Susan wants to prepare a presentation that will calculate the total cost of ownership for the system.
What financial analysis tools are available to her, and what are the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of each tool?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The financial tools available to her,
NPV: Net Present Value
1. It is the total value benefit minus the total value of the costs.
2. It adjusts the value of future costs and benefits to account for the time value of money.
3. The systems can be compared more accurately and consistently.
ROI: Return On Investment.
Advanatge
1. It is a % rate that compares total net benefits received from a project to the total costs of the project.
2. Companies set a minimum ROI that all projects must match or exceed.
3. Disadvantage of this tool is that it expresses only an overall average rate of the return. It is not accurate for a given time period
PAY BACK ANALYSIS
1. It determines the time it takes for an information system to pay for itself.
2. Total development and operating costs are compared with total benefits.
3. Disadvantage of this method is that pay back analyzes on costs and benefits incurred at the beginning of a system’s useful life.
You have graduated from college and, after working hard for ten years, have scraped enough money together to make a down payment on a forty-acre farm within driving distance to the small city where you work in Colorado. In town at lunch one day, you run into an old friend from high school, Hayley Mills, who tells you that she is saving her money to start a high-end consignment shop in town. You allow her to have a room in your house for a few months until she has enough money to go into business. Over the following weeks, however, you realize that old acquaintances from high school are stopping by almost daily for short visits. When you bring this up to Hayley, she admits that many old friends are now relying on her for marijuana. She is not a licensed caregiver in Colorado and is clearly violating the law. Out of loyalty, you tell her that she has three weeks to move out, but you do not prevent her from continuing sales while she is there. What crime have you committed?
Answer:
A conspiracy crime
Explanation:
Note that the tem consipiracy could also mean knowingly supporting directly or indirectly in a set course of action with another.
Thus, since the homeowner did not prevent the illegal actions of her acquaintance out of loyalty for her, the homeowner became part of an illegal drug sale conspiracy. This is further evident from the fact that the homeowner
gave the acquaintance three weeks to move out; in a sense giving more ample time for the illegal transactions.
Willetta Company purchases inventory for $29,000 with terms 2/10, n/30. It then returns $3,900 of the inventory purchased to the supplier and also receives an allowance for defective inventory of $290. The company pays the amount due within the discount period. What is the amount of the discount that will be taken
Answer:
Discount taken is $496.20
Explanation:
The amount of purchases after some items were returned and also defective inventory allowance was taken needs to first of all be established.
adjusted purchases=$29,000-$3,900-$290=$ 24,810.00
Thereafter, the amount of discount taken is 2% of the adjusted purchases amount computed above.
Discount taken=$ 24,810.00*2=$ 496.20

A municipal bond is issued with a covenant that states "if revenue collections are insufficient, the state legislature has the authority, but not the obligation, to make an annual apportionment of funds necessary to meet debt service requirements." This is a:
Answer:
Moral obligation bond
Explanation:
Moral obligation bond is defined as a revenue bond that is issued by a municipality or by some other government body.
The benefits of moral obligation bonds are tax exemption and a moral pledge that there will be no default on the bond.
Usually a reserve fund is established in case the issuing body is unable to meet its debt obligations.
In this scenario the bond is issued with a covenant that states "if revenue collections are insufficient, the state legislature has the authority, but not the obligation, to make an annual apportionment of funds necessary to meet debt service requirements."
To a greater or lesser degree, many governments can be considered pragmatic nationalists when it comes to foreign direct investment (FDI); this means it has both benefits and costs. FDI can benefit a host country by bringing capital, technology, and jobs, and it can also have a negative effect on a country's balance of payments. Accordingly, government policies are shaped by a consideration of these costs and benefits of FDI.
Home countries can adopt policies designed to both encourage and restrict FDI. Host countries try to attract FDI by offering incentives and try to restrict FDI by dictating ownership restraints and requiring that foreign multinational enterprises (MNE) meet specific performance requirements.
Roll over each item on the left to read its description. Determine whether the scenario represents a benefit or cost to the home or host country, and then drag it to the appropriate place on the chart.
HOST-COUNTRY BENEFIT HOST-COUNTRY COST
HOME-COUNTRY BENEFIT HOME-COUNTRY COST
-outflow of earnings from a foreign subsidiary
a- loss of jobs
b-inflows of foreign earnings
c-substitute for imports
d-loss of economic independence
e-increase in direct and indirect empolyment
f-skills that can be leveraged internationally
g-loss of local entreprenurship
h-Host country limits profit expatriation
i-transfer of new technology
Answer:
Home Country Benefit
b - inflows of foreign earnings.
The Company operating in the Host Country will send some of it's profits back to it's Home Country and this will be treated as Foreign Earnings.
f-skills that can be leveraged internationally.
The Home Country will gain skills from their experience in the Host Country. These skills can then be used to be competitive on the global market.
Home Country Cost
a- loss of jobs
The Home Country would lose the jobs that it's companies created in the Host Country. These are jobs that could have employed people in the Home Country but now employ people in the Host Country.
h-Host country limits profit expatriation
In order that they don't lose too much money to the Home Country, the Host Country might come up with laws that limit the amount of money that can be taken out from the country this limiting the amount of foreign Earnings that the Home country gets.
Host Country Benefit
c-substitute for imports
The products that the companies founded by FDI are producing could have been products that the Host Country used to import. Now that the goods are being made in the Host Country, there will be no need for imports.
e-increase in direct and indirect employment
The companies founded by FDI in the Host Countries will create employment for people in the company which is direct employment. Many auxiliary services such as drivers and caterers as an example will also spring up to take care of these newly employed folk thereby creating indirect employment.
i-transfer of new technology
The Company formed from FDI will bring with them technology from the Home Country that could be very beneficial to the Host Country.
Host Country Costs.
- Outflow of earnings from a foreign subsidiary
The Companies established through FDI will send some of their profits back to their home Countries. This means that the earnings would leave the Host Country instead of being reinvested in them.
d-loss of economic independence
These FDI companies tend to get very influential and powerful in the Host Country and can sometimes dictate policies. This would mean the companies have significant control over the resources of the Host Country which will lead to a loss of Economic independence. This is the main reason most people believe that China is interested in Africa.
g-loss of local Entrepreneurship
These companies created by FDI will bring with them better technology and capital that will enable them to be very competitive in the local Economy. This will discourage local Entrepreneurs who do not have the economic nor the financial backing to challenge the companies without making huge losses.
Trudy is Jocelyn's friend. Trudy looks after Jocelyn's four-year-old son during the day so Jocelyn can go to work. During the year, Jocelyn paid Trudy $4,180 to care for her son. What is the amount of Jocelyn's child and dependent care credit if her AGI for the year was $31,800
Answer:
The answer is $810
Explanation:
Solution
Child and dependent care credit is certain percentage of qualifying care expenses based on the adjusted gross income. The maximum qualifying amount of daycare expenses is $3,000 per qualifying person.
Now from this example, Jocelyn had paid $4,180 to take care of her son and so,the qualifying amount of care expenses will be $3,000.
Since GI for the year is $31,800, the child and dependent care credit will be 27% of the qualifying care expenses that is,. $3,000 * 27% = $810
Graham Petroleum produces oil. On May 1, it had no work-in-process inventory. It started production of 244 million barrels of oil in May and shipped 216 million barrels in the pipeline. The costs of the resources used by Graham in May consist of the following:
Materials $6,000 Million
Conversion Cost (Labor and overhead) $7,968 Million
Required:
The production supervisor estimates that the ending work-in-process is 60 percent complete on May 31.
Compute the cost of oil shipped in the pipeline and the amount in work-in-process ending inventory as of May 31. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in millions. For example, enter "1" instead of "1,000,000".)
Answer:
The cost of 216 million barrels of oil shipped is $ 12,960 million
Cost of ending work in process is $1,008 million
Explanation:
The total costs of oil production is computed thus:
$million
materials 6,000
conversion cost 7,968
total cost 13,968
Production started 244 million
Oil shipped 216 million
ending work in process 28 million
total equivalent units=216 million+28 million*60%=216 million+16.8 million=232.8 million
cost of oil shipped=$13,968/232.8*216=$ 12,960 million
amount of ending inventory=$13,968-$12,960=$1,008.00
The continuous falling price level is called inflation.
True or false?
Answer:
True
Explanation:
When it start failling it is still true.
A company purchased 10 units for $5 on January 3. It purchased 10 units for $7 each on February 28. It sold 10 units on March 1. If the company uses the last in, first out (LIFO) inventory costing method, what is the dollar amount for ending inventory on the December 31 balance sheet, assuming that the company uses a perpetual inventory system
Answer:
The dollar amount for ending inventory using the last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation is $50
Explanation:
Using LIFO,last-in-first-out method of inventory valuation,items received last into the store are deemed to be sold first, hence the sales of 10 units on March 1 was the inventory purchased on February 28, leaving the items of inventory purchased on January 3 as closing inventory
value of closing inventory using LIFO=10*$5=$50

Purpose of Assignment The purpose of this assignment is for students to employ capital budgeting techniques using time value of money concepts to determine the acceptability of large dollar value assets. Assignment Steps Scenario: A firm has projected free cash flows of $575,000 for Year 1, $625,000 for Year 2, and 650,000 for Year 3, $725,000 for Year 4, and 850,000 for Year 5. The projected terminal value at the end of Year 5 is $6,000,000. The firm's Weighted Average cost of Capital (WACC) is 12.5%. Create a Microsoft® Excel® document to determine the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) value of the firm based on the information provided above. Recommend acceptance of this project using net present value criteria using a Microsoft® Word® document. Include up to what level of initial investment you would accept the project? Why? Give a complete explanation of up to 350 words. Display your calculations. Coursehero
Answer:
Present Value 5,715,331.32
We are going to accept the project only if the initial investment is at 5,715,331 or below in order to achieve the return to support the cost of capital structure of the company
Accepting a project with a higher cost will not generate enought cashflow to sustain the patyment of debt and the return expected from the stockholders therefore, will generate a economic result and investor will leave the company for other which can sustain their desired return.
Explanation:
We are going to discount the yearly cash-flow at the given rate of 12.50%
then, the terminal value which is the present value of the future period will also be discounted at this rate.
The sum of all this will be the present value of the firm.

The owner of a small firm has just purchased a personal computer, which she expects will serve her for the next two years. The owner has been told that she "must" buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer. The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 3% chance of incurring 350 dollar damage, 5% chance of incurring 250 dollar damage, and 12% chance of incurring 100 dollar damage from a surge within the next two years. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value
Answer:
$35
Explanation:
The computation of the expected value is shown below;
As we know that
= Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage + Estimated chance of damage percentage × dollar damage
= 3% × $350 + 5% × $250 + 12% × $100
= $10.5 + $12.5 + $12
= $35
We simply multiplied the estimated chance of damage percentage with the dollar damage and then added the other two so that the expected value could arrive
On January 1, the $3,000,000 par value bonds of Spitz Company with a carrying value of $3,000,000 are converted to 1,000,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Record the entry for the conversion of the bonds.
Answer:
Dr bonds payable $3,000,000
Cr common stock $1,000,000
Cr paid in capital in excess of par val.-common stock($3m-$1m) $2,000,000
Explanation:
The conversion means that the bonds payable account is debited since the obligation has now been settled by a way of giving common stock in lieu.
The credit entries would comprise of par value of the conversion which is $1 par value multiplied by number of common stock of 1,000,000 which gives $1,000,000 while the remaining balance is credited to paid-in capital in excess-common stock
Jasper and Crewella Dahvill were married in year 0. They filed joint tax returns in years 1 and 2. In year 3, their relationship was strained and Jasper insisted on filing a separate tax return. In year 4, the couple divorced. Both Jasper and Crewella filed single tax returns in year 4. In year 5, the IRS audited the couple’s joint year 2 tax return and each spouse’s separate year 3 tax returns. The IRS determined that the year 2 joint return and Crewella’s separate year 3 tax return understated Crewella’s self-employment income, causing the joint return year 2 tax liability to be understated by $12,700 and Crewella’s year 3 separate return tax liability to be understated by $7,350. The IRS also assessed penalties and interest on both of these tax returns. Try as it might, the IRS has not been able to locate Crewella, but they have been able to find Jasper. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.)
a. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for the Dahvill’s year 2 joint return?
Amount of Tax:__________________
b. What amount of tax can the IRS require Jasper to pay for Crewella’s year 3 separate tax return?
Amount of Tax:__________________
Answer: a. $12,700
b. $0
Explanation:
a. As Jasper and Crewella Dahvill filed joint tax returns in Year 2, both of them are joint and severally liable for any errors that may arise in the filing. The IRS could not find Crewella but they could find Jasper and as he is liable as well, he will have to pay the full amount that Crewella understated their tax liability by.
b. In year 3, Jasper and Crewella Dahvill had a strained relationship and filed their returns separately. As a result Jasper is not liable for any errors that will arise from Crewella's tax returns filing including the understatement of tax liability.
Fairfield Company’s raw materials inventory transactions for the most recent month are summarized here: Beginning raw materials $ 20,000 Purchases of raw materials 90,000 Raw materials issued Materials requisition 1445 25,000 For Job 101 Materials requisition 1446 35,000 For Job 102 Materials requisition 1447 30,000 Used on multiple jobs 1. How much of the raw materials cost would be added to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period? 2. How much of the raw materials costs would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account? 3. Compute the ending balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account.
Answer:
1. $60,000
2. $30,000
3. $20,000
Explanation:
1. How much of the raw materials cost would be added to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period?
The amount to add add to the Work in Process Inventory account during the period is the direct material used calculated as follows:
Direct raw materials used = Materials requisition 1445 For Job 101 + Materials requisition 1446 For Job 102 = $25,000 + $35,000 = $60,000
2. How much of the raw materials costs would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account?
Manufacturing overhead refers to all indirect costs that are incurred during the production process. Therefore, the raw materials costs that would be added to the Manufacturing Overhead account is the indirect materials used on multiple jobs.
Therefore, we have:
Amount to add to the Manufacturing Overhead account = Indirect materials used = $30,000
3. Compute the ending balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account.
Ending raw materials balance = Beginning raw materials + Purchases of raw materials - Direct raw materials used - Indirect materials used = $20,000 + $90,000 - $60,00 - $30,000 = $20,000
A year ago, Kim Altman purchased 200 shares of BLK, Inc. for $25.50 on margin. At that time the margin requirement was 40 percent. If the interest rate on borrowed funds was 9 percent and she sold the stock for $34, what is the percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock
Answer:
69.83%
Explanation:
Calculation for Kim Altman percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock
Calculation for Kim’s own money =
$5100 x .4 = $2040
Caluculation for total Long Position =
$34 x 200 = $6800
Calculation for Interest Borrowed =
$3060 x .09 = $275.4
Total gain/profit =
$6800 - $5100 - $275.4
= $1424.60
Percentage on Return
= $1424.60 / $2040 = .6983
.6893x 100 = 69.83%
Therefore the percentage return will be 69.83%

During the year, Lillie rented her vacation home for three months and spend one month there. Gross rental income from the property was $5,000. Lillie incurred the following expenses: mortgage interest, $3,000; real estate taxes $1,500; utilities, $800; and depreciation, $4,000. Compute Lillie's allowable deductions for the vacation home.
Answer:
$8,100
Explanation:
The home was rented for more than 14 days, you must pay taxes for the rental income
Since Lille used the house for more than 15 days herself, limits her deduction. The home cannot be treated as rental home nor personal use vacation home.
total days used = (30 x 3) + 30 = 120 days
rental days = 90/120 = 75% (this doesn't apply to mortgage interest nor real estate taxes, they are still 100% deductible)
mortgage interest and real estate taxes still qualify as personal expenses = $3,000 + $1,500 = $4,500
utilities and depreciation will be deducted only 75% = ($800 + $4,000) x 75% = $3,600
total deductions = $4,500 + $3,600 = $8,100
Elaborate on any three internal factors of Jessops’ Group Limited that can influence its functioning
Answer:
The internal factors are factors that are under the control of the company and these can be tangible or intangible in nature.
Explanation:
Examples of three internal factors of Jessops’ Group Limited that can influence its functioning are:
1. Assets of the company: the company has over 200 stores around the UK, and also has an online shop and call center. This will make the company to serve a wide base of customers which can increase the revenue of the UK’s premier photographic retailer.
2. Photo and imaging business: This is a business line which is a key part of the company's product portfolio. The decision of the company to focus its attention on making its imaging business the market leader is because of the stability in its margins during the 2008–09 economic recession in the UK.
3. Participation and investment in social responsibility: The response of the company to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations on the disposal of electronic goods at the end of their life by contributing towards a national fund to assist local councils to develop collection facilities for electronic goods is an example of social responsibility. The creation of a convenient battery recycling points in its stores and effort to increase awareness of the WEEE regulations are part of social responsibility functions that will be seen more favorably by consumers. This can therefore increase the sales of the company.

Explanation:
suppose dave's discount merchandise inventory account showed a balance of 8000 before the year end adjustments. The physical count of goods on hand totaled 7400. Dave uses a perpetual inventory system. To adjust the accounts, which entry would the company make
Answer:
Cost of goods sold DR 600
Merchandise inventory CR 600
Explanation:
A perpetual inventory system is a method of inventory management that is used in order to records real-time transactions of received or sold stock. In this system, based on the information provided the company would make the following entry
Cost of goods sold DR 600
Merchandise inventory CR 600
This is because there is a difference on physical goods on hand of 600, meaning that they sold that amount throughout the year. Which is made as a Cost of Goods Sold entry. The company also needs to enter the amount of goods that have been acquired by a distributor, wholesaler, or retailer from suppliers which would be the same.
Hastings Corporation is interested in acquiring Vandell Corporation. Vandell has 1 million shares outstanding and a target capital structure consisting of 30% debt; its beta is 1.10 (given its target capital structure). Vandell has $8.67 million in debt that trades at par and pays an 7.3% interest rate. Vandell’s free cash flow (FCF0) is $1 million per year and is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% a year. Both Vandell and Hastings pay a 40% combined federal and state tax rate. The risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the market risk premium is 7%. Hastings Corporation estimates that if it acquires Vandell Corporation, synergies will cause Vandell’s free cash flows to be $2.5 million, $3.2 million, $3.5 million, and $3.57 million at Years 1 through 4, respectively, after which the free cash flows will grow at a constant 6% rate. Hastings plans to assume Vandell’s $8.67 million in debt (which has an 7.3% interest rate) and raise additional debt financing at the time of the acquisition. Hastings estimates that interest payments will be $1.5 million each year for Years 1, 2, and 3. After Year 3, a target capital structure of 30% debt will be maintained. Interest at Year 4 will be $1.465 million, after which the interest and the tax shield will grow at 6%. Indicate the range of possible prices that Hastings could bid for each share of Vandell common stock in an acquisition. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.
The bid for each share should range between $ ______ per share and $ _______ per share.
Answer:
$40.79 per share and $52.90 per share
Explanation:
Cost of Debt (Kd) = Wd * Rd (1 - T)
Cost of Debt for Vandell Corporation is $7.30 * (1 - 0.40) = 4.38%
Cost of Equity (Ke) = Rf + [tex]\beta[/tex] * Rp
Cost of Equity for Vandell Corporation is 6 + 1.10 * 7 = 13.70%
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = Wd * Kd + We * Ke
Cash Flow of Firm = $2.5m + $3.2m + $3.5m + $3.57m = $12.77
Weight of Equity = $8.94
WACC = 30% * 4.38% + 70% * 13.70% = 10.9%
CashFlows after discounting synergy will be = $40.79
Holding other factors constant, if bad weather destroys the annual crop for carrots, it causes the supply curve for carrots to a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise b. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts. c. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall d. Stay the sam
Answer: a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise
Explanation:
The bad weather destroyed the annual crop of carrots. This will reduce the supply for Carrots. A reduction in supply forces the Supply Curve to shift to the left and assuming the demand curve remains the same, the new supply curve will intersect the demand curve a higher equilibrium price.
This is done to obey the Rules of Supply that when a good is scarce, it is more expensive.
Notice how the supply curve shifted left in the diagram and prices rose.
