Answer:
If a court finds that the one of Pilgrim's principal purposes in the agreement was the inclusion of an ice-skating pond, the Pilgrim-Celestial contract could be discharged via the doctrine of:
Frustration of Purpose.
Explanation:
The doctrine of Frustration of Purpose occurs when there is a change of circumstances that is not the fault of either Pilgrim Industries or Celestial City Resort. Since these two parties did not cause the circumstances that made it legally, physically, or commercially impossible to fulfil the contract, the contract can be discharged by the court based on this doctrine. It is also known as Force Majeure.
Bonita Industries uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 481 units that cost $60 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 719 units at $63 each and 361 units at $65 each. Bonita Industries also sold 1203 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of ending inventory
Answer:
$22,389
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:
But before that the average cost per unit and the ending units should be determined
The average cost per unit is
= (481 units × $60 + 719 units × $63 + 361 units × $65) ÷ (481 units + 719 units + 361 units)
= ($28,860 + $45,297 + $23,465) ÷ (1,561 units)
= $62.54
Now the ending inventory units is
= 1,561 units - 1,203 units
= 358 units
Now finally the ending inventory is
= 358 units × $62.54
= $22,389
Coffee Klatch is an espresso stand in a downtown office building. The average selling price of a cup of coffee is $1.49 and the average variable expense per cup is $0.36. The average fixed expense per month is $1,300. Use the formula method to determine how many cups of coffee would have to be sold to attain target profits of $3,000 per month.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The formula method is denoted by
Unit sales to attain the targeted profit =( Target profit + Fixed expenses) / Contribution margin per unit
Target profit = $3,000 per month
Fixed expenses = $1,300
Contribution margin per unit = $1.49 - $0.36 = $1.13
Therefore, unit sales to attain targeted profit = ($3,000 + $1,300) / $1.13 = 3,805.31 units
It means that 3,805.31 cup of coffee would have to be sold to attain target profit of $3,000 per month.
8. A relatively small grocery store chain operates 35 stores in three New England states. Recently, the organization has been facing intensified competition from resource-rich dominant players like Kroger and Walmart, new players with innovative services like Amazon, and new low-cost leaders like Aldi. This small chain is seeing declining sales because it cannot offer consumers the same or better products, services, or prices as any of these competitors. Which type of interorganizational relationship does this describe
Answer:
- Population ecology.
Explanation:
'Population ecology' is characterized as the kind of inter-organizational association in which asserts that the dynamic changes takes places in the level of population as an outcome of the selection of their organization and its failure to replace with the evolution/change in the environment. As per Hannan & Freeman's theory of organizational ecology, an organization(like the grocery store in the given situation) faces decline in sales due to their selection of the orgnaization as the structural inertia of the orgnaization does not allow it to adapt the environmental changes and the changes in demands of the population.

Explanation:
Coffee Klatch is an espresso stand in a downtown office building. The average selling price of a cup of coffee is $1.49 and the average variable expense per cup is $0.24. The average fixed expense per month is $1,600. An average of 2,100 cups are sold each month. What is the CM Ratio for Coffee Klatch?
Answer:
The contribution margin ratio for Coffee Klatch is 83%.
Explanation:
Given that Coffee Klatch is an espresso stand in a downtown office building, and the average selling price of a cup of coffee is $ 1.49 and the average variable expense per cup is $ 0.24, and the average fixed expense per month is $ 1,600, to determine what is the CM Ratio for Coffee Klatch if an average of 2,100 cups are sold each month, the following calculation must be performed:
Contribution margin ratio: (sales - variable costs) / sales
((2,100 x 1.49) - (2,100 x 0.24)) / (2,100 x 1.49) = X
(3.129 - 504) / 3.129 = X
2.625 / 3.129 = X
0.83 = X
Thus, the contribution margin ratio for Coffee Klatch is 83%.

Earnings Per Share, Price-Earnings Ratio, Dividend Yield The following information was taken from the financial statements of Monarch Resources Inc. for December 31 of the current year: Common stock, $125 par value (no change during the year) $12,500,000 Preferred $6 stock, $90 par (no change during the year) 2,250,000 The net income was $1,300,000, and the declared dividends on the common stock were $460,000 for the current year. The market price of the common stock is $92 per share. For the common stock, determine (a) the earnings per share, (b) the price-earnings ratio, (c) the dividends per share, and (d) the dividend yield. Round to one decimal place except earnings per share and dividends per share, which should be rounded to the nearest cent. a. Earnings per share $fill in the blank 1 b. Price-earnings ratio fill in the blank 2 c. Dividends per share $fill in the blank 3 d. Dividend yield fill in the blank 4 %
Answer:
Monarch Resources Inc.
a. Earnings per share:
= $ 11.50
b. Price-earnings ratio:
= 8x
c. Dividends per share:
= $4.60 per share
d. Dividend yield:
= 5%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Common stock, $125 par value = $12,500,000
Number of common stock shares = 100,000 ($12,500,000/$125)
$6 Preferred stock, $90 par value = $2,250,000
Number of preferred stock shares = 25,000 ($2,250,000/$90)
Net income = $1,300,000
Dividends on the Preferred stock = $150,000 ($2,250,000/$90 * $6)
Net income after preferred dividend = $1,150,000 ($1,300,000-$150,000)
Dividends on the Common stock = $460,000
Common stock market price = $92 per share
a. Earnings per share
= Net income after preferred dividend/number of shares
= $1,150,000/100,000
= $ 11.50
b. Price-earnings ratio:
= Market price/EPS
= $92/$11.50
= 8x
c. Dividends per share:
= Common stock dividends/number of common stock shares
= $460,000/100,000
= $4.60 per share
d. Dividend yield:
= Market price/Dividend per share
= $4.60/$92 * 100
= 5%
Which statement concerning the kinked demand curve model of oligopoly is false? The portion of the demand curve above the "kink" is more elastic than the portion below. The firm's marginal costs can sometimes shift without changing the profit-maximizing price and output. It assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow. It addresses the question of price "stickiness."
Answer: It assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow
Explanation:
An oligopoly is a form of market where there are dominated by few group of large sellers.
A kinked demand curve simply happens when the elasticity is not thesame for the lower and higher prices and the demand curve isn't a straight line.
It simply suggests that there are rigid prices and assumes when one oligopolist raises the price, all others will follow.
1. Imagine yourself as a manager of a struggling local suburban regional shopping mall. What do you think the mall should do to improve its performance
Explanation:
There are several possibilities that can help a local suburban shopping mall in difficulty to improve its performance. Some options could be the hiring of surveys with the local community to identify consumption trends and preferences, as well as the search for the implementation of more anchor stores that are consistent with the financial situation and preferences of the target audience.
A shopping center also needs to have a lure for the public, something that differentiates it from competing stores, so another option for attracting customers would be to attract unique stores in the region to the mall, which are directly aligned with the values and preferences of the community. An interesting option is also to hold regional fairs, small artist shows, thematic space for children, etc.
A companies gross profit or gross margin was $83,750 and its net sales were $347,800 it’s gross margin ratio is
Answer:
Gross Margin Ratio = 0.240799 or 24.0799%
Explanation:
Gross profit margin ratio or gross margin ratio is a financial ratio that expresses the gross profit of a company as a percentage of its total revenue. The gross profit is the difference between the total revenue and the cost of goods sold. The gross margin ratio can be calculated as follows,
Gross Margin Ratio = Gross Profit / Total Revenue
Gross Margin Ratio = 83750 / 347800
Gross Margin Ratio = 0.240799 or 24.0799%
There are some excellent free personal finance apps available: Mint, GoodBudget, Mvelopes, BillGuard, PocketExpense, HomeBudget, and Expensify. After using Mint, you realize you need to pay off one of your high interest loans to reduce your interest expense. You decide to discount a $5,250, 345-day note at 3% to your bank at a discount rate of 4.5% on day 210. What are your proceeds
Answer: $5309.86
Explanation:
The proceeds will be calculated as:
Face value of note = $5250
Interest rate = 3%
Note tenure = 345
Number of days used = 360
Outstanding interest on note = $5250 × 3% × 345/360 = $150.94
Gross Proceeds = $5250 + $150.94 = $5400.94
Bank Discount rate = 4.5%
Discounting days = 210
Time if maturity left = 345 - 210 = 135
Discount rate for 135 days = 4.5%/360 × 135 = 1.69%
Discount value = $5400 × 1.69% = $91.14
Net proceeds after discount = $5400 - $91.14 = $5309.86
The air pollution could be reduced if the company spent $10,000 on upgraded ventilators. The company agrees to install the ventilators if the affected families contribute the $10,000. However, because individuals will benefit from the reduction in air pollution whether they contribute or not, most people will not contribute and the firm will not install the ventilators. This outcome is an example of the
Answer:
free rider problem
Explanation:
The air pollution constitutes a negative externality
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Free rider is when some people benefit from the solution proffered but do not pay to enjoy these benefits
Comcast (CMCSA) is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 2850 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 56. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: =-9.34%
Explanation:
Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, the return, relative to the collateral will be calculated as:
= (Short sell price - dividend - Share buy price)/Capital employed
= (5433 - 100 - 5600) / 2850
= -267 / 2850
= -0.09368
=-9.34%
Note:
Short sell price = 54.33 × 100 = 5433
Dividend = 100
Share buy price = 56 × 100 = 5600
You are a seller of farm equipment. Sidney Lanier puts in an order for a new combine harvester, which costs $425,000. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Lanier has to forward you a certified check for 25% of the purchase price within 15 days of the signing of the purchase agreement. Meanwhile you are preparing the combine harvester for shipment to Sidney Lanier's farm.
On the 15th day, you do not receive a check from Mr. Lanier. You do not receive a check on the 16th, 17th, or 18th day either. Meanwhile, another farmer has come into your office to ask about buying the combine harvester.
What can you do in this situation?
A. Since you and Mr. Lanier have a contract, you have to wait until he sends you the check before you can do anything.
B. Mr. Lanier had a duty to send you a check by the 15th. He's breached that duty under the contract, and it appears to be a material breach, so you have the right to rescind the contract.
Answer: B. Mr. Lanier had a duty to send you a check by the 15th. He's breached that duty under the contract, and it appears to be a material breach, so you have the right to rescind the contract.
Explanation:
Material breach occurs when a particular party fails to fulfill his or her part in a contract and this can lead to the other party rescinding the contract or sue for a breach of contract.
Since under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Lanier has to forward a certified check for 25% of the purchase price within 15 days of the signing of the purchase agreement but he didn't send the check, this means that the there's a breach in the contract, and the contract can be rescinded.

Suppose that a worker in Radioland can produce either 5 radios or 1 television per year, and a worker in Teeveeland can produce either 1 radios or 5 televisions per year. Each nation has 100 workers. Also, suppose that each country completely specializes in producing the good in which it has a comparative advantage. If Radioland trades 50 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 50 televisions each year, then each country's maximum consumption of new radios and televisions per year will be
Answer:
450 radios 50 televisions in radioland and 50 radios 450 televisions in Teeveeland.
Explanation:
In radioland 5 radios are equivalent to one television. Then 1 radio will be equivalent to 0.2 of television. The opportunity cost for each radio is 0.2. In teeveeland the cost of 1 radio is 5 televisions. Hence radioland has comparative advantage in producing radios and Teeveeland has comparative advantage is producing televisions.
Plymouth Company owns equipment with a cost of $600,000 and accumulated depreciation of $375,000 that can be sold for $300,000, less a 4% sales commission. Alternatively, Plymouth Company can lease the equipment for four years for a total of $320,000, at the end of which there is no residual value. In addition, the repair, insurance, and property tax expense that would be incurred by Plymouth Company on the equipment would total $40,000 over the four-year lease.
A. Prepare a differential analysis on August 7 as to whether Plymouth Company should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment.
B. Should Plymouth Company lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the equipment?
Answer:
A. We have:
Profit from Lease Equipment (Alternative 1) = $280,000
Profit from Sell Equipment (Alternative 2) = $288,000

Here, the opportunity cost of capital is the $800000 that could have been made if they decided to add a product line of deep sea diving watches.
Cala Manufacturing purchases land for $281,000 as part of its plans to build a new plant. The company pays $35,400 to tear down an old building on the lot and $52,330 to fill and level the lot. It also pays construction costs $1,320,800 for the new building and $83,373 for lighting and paving a parking area. Prepare a single journal entry to record these costs incurred by Cala, all of which are paid in cash.
Suppose Fiat recently entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Case for $4.3 billion. Prior to the merger, the market for four-wheel-drive tractors consisted of five firms. The market was highly concentrated, with a Herfindahl-Hirschman index of 3,195. Case’s share of that market was 16 percent, while Fiat comprised just 8 percent of the market. If approved, by how much would the postmerger Herfindahl-Hirschman index increase?
Answer:
the increase resulting from this merger = 256
Explanation:
before the merger, both Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 16² + 8² = 320
after the merger, Fiat and Case's contribution to Herfindahl-Hirschman index = 24² = 576
the increase resulting from this merger = 576 - 320 = 256
Iduna Company has adopted the dollar-value LIFO method in 2018. At December 31, 2018, the ending inventory at dollar-value LIFO is $103,000, with a price index of 1.00. At December 31, 2019, the ending inventory using year-end prices is $125,000. The price index is 1.3 in 2019. Round all dollar amounts to the nearest dollar. What is the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019
Answer:
$96,154
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019
First step is to calculate the Ending Inventory
Ending Inventory= $125,000/1.3
Ending Inventory =$96,154
Now let calculate the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019
December 31, 2019 Ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO=$96,154* $1
December 31, 2019 Ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO= $96,154
Therefore the ending inventory using dollar-value LIFO at December 31, 2019 will be $96,154
Bummerland finds itself in a recession caused, as assumed in class, a sticky nominal (money) wage (W) which is too high to clear the labor market.
Bummerland has a Treasury and a "Federal Reserve" (called the Bummerb¬ank). At a meeting of officials of both agen¬cies, various antirecess¬ionary policies are considered. The economic staffs of both agencies are seriously split on issues such as how interest sensitive investment is and how interest sensitive the demand for money is. However, they are in agreement that the marginal propensity to consume (b) is .75 and the marginal propensity to hold cash (k) is .2. Bummerland has banks, but the reserve requirement is 100%, so they don't create money.
Debate has narrowed to four prospective policies. Your as¬signment is: (1) illustrate these policies using IS,LM diagrams; (2) compare as completely as possible ( if you can't, you must explain what additional information would be required ) the effects of these policies on Y*, r, I*, the real wage, and unemployment. Class format is strongly encour¬aged.
Here are the four policies: (1) a $50 billion increase in the money supply by means of open market opera¬tions; (2) a $50 billion increase in the money supply to be introduced by reducing tax collections; (3) a $50 billion increase in the money supply to be introduced through government spending; (4) a $50 billion increase in unemployment benefits paid for with a tax increase.

Explanation:
An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at a) $60,000 and b) $80,000. Assume the applicable tax rate is 40 percent.
Answer:
(a) The cash flows is $59,040.
(b) The cash flows is $71,040.
Explanation:
From the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:
Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%
Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate = $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400
Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600
We can now proceed as follows:
(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000
Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040
Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.
(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000
Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040
Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.
The cash flows is $59,040 and $71,040 when asset are sold at $60,000 and $80,000.
What is MACRS depreciation?MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system is the depreciation system in the U.S. where the cost of the asset is recovered in a specific period through deduction.
Given:
Asset=$200,000
The depreciation rate for 5 year asset are:20%, 32%, 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52% and 5.76%
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years=20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%
=asset cost X depreciation rate for 3 years
=$200,000 X 71.20% = $142,400
Net Book value=Asset Cost - Accumulated depreciation
=$200,000 - $142,400
= $57,600
(a)Cash flows if assets sold at $60,000
Capital gains = Sales - Net book value
=$60,000 - $57,600
= $2,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate
= $2,400 * 40% = $960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax
= $60,000 - $960 = $59,040
(b)Cash flows if assets sold at $80,000
Capital gains = Sales - Net book value
= $80,000 - $57,600
= $22,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate
= $22,400 * 40% = $8,960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax
= $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040
Therefore the above calculation aptly gives the solution.
