Answer:
a. 21 percent
b. -20 percent
c. -8 percent
d. -8 percent
Explanation:
Own price elasticity = -3
Income elasticity = -2
Advertising elasticity= 4
Cross price elasticity = -2
Formula for elasticity is given by,
[tex]Elasticity = \frac{Percentage change in Quantity}{Percentage change in factor}[/tex]
a. When price of good X decreases by 7 percent.
[tex]Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in own price}[/tex]
[tex]-3 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{-7}[/tex]
[tex]Percent change in quantity = (-3) * (-7) = 21[/tex]
Thus, as price decreases by 7% quantity rises by 21%.
b. The price of good Y increases by 10 percent.
[tex]Corss- price elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in Price of good Y} \\ -2 = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{10} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (10) \\ = -20[/tex]
Thus, as price of good Y increases by 10 percent, demand for good X falls by 20 percent.
c. Advertising decreases by 2 percent.
[tex]Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in advertising} \\4 = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{-2} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\ = -8[/tex]
Thus, a 2 percent decline in advertising will lead to a 8 percent fall in quantity of good X.
d. Income increases by 4 percent.
[tex]Income elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{Percent change in income}\\-2 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{4} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\ = -8\\[/tex]
Thus, when income increases by 4 percent, quantity decreases by 8 percent.
The internal rate of return : (mark all that applies) does not need a required rate to calculate. rule states that a typical investment project with an IRR that is less than the required rate of return should be accepted. is the more sound decision rule when dealing with mutually exclusive projects is the rate that causes the net present value of a project to exactly equal zero. can effectively be used to analyze all investment scenarios.
Answer:
does not need a required rate to calculate
is the rate at which npv is zero
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is an example of capital budgeting method
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
Projects with the IRR greater than the discount rate should be accepted. It means that it is profitable.
Projects with more than one negative cash flow are unsuitable for calculating with IRR. This is because it can lead to multiple IRR, Thus, it not suitable for analysing all investment scenarios.
The net present value is the most preferred capital budgeting method
Other capital budgeting methods includes
1. profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)
2. Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
3. Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
4. Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Another company has been offered a four-year contract to supply the computing requirements for a local bank. Assume a 14% discount rate. The working capital will be released at the end of the contract. The cash flow information is as follows: Cost of computer equipment $250,000 Working capital required $20,000 Equipment upgrade in 2 years $90,000 Equipment salvage value in 4 years $10,000 Annual net cash inflow $120,000 What is the net present value of the contract with the local bank
Answer:
$28,155.81
Explanation:
Summary of Cash flows :
Year 0 = - ($250,000 + $20,000) = - $270,000
Year 1 = $120,000
Year 2 = $120,000 - $90,000 = $30,000
Year 3 = $120,000
Year 4 = $120,000 + $10,000 + $20,000 = $150,000
Using the CFj Function of a financial calculator we have :
- $270,000 CFj 0
$120,000 CFj 1
$30,000 CFj 2
$120,000 CFj 3
$150,000 CFj 4
I/yr = 14%
Thus, the net present value of the contract with the local bank is $28,155.81
Garcia Co. sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $113, direct labor of $43, and variable overhead of $58. The company expects fixed overhead costs of $661,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $130,000 for the next year. It expects to produce and sell 11,300 snowboards in the next year. What will be the selling price per unit if Garcia uses a markup of 15% of total cost
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Total cost of 11,300 snow balls
Per unit total =
Direct material = $113 × 100
Direct labor = $43 × 262.79
Variable overhead = $58 × 194.82
Fixed overhead = $661,000
Total cost of 11,300 snow balls $2,700,000
Cost of 1 snow ball = Total cost of 11,300 snow balls / Total number of snowballs

Descendants Corporation is a growth firm that recently had its IPO. It is not currently paying dividends and its first dividend is expected in year 5. After this, it is expected to offer dividends with growth rates of 15% for two years. After this time, it is expected to reach stable growth with a dividend growth rate of 4% forever. If the dividend discount model is used to value the stock, in what year does the horizon value from stable growth belong
Answer:
year 7
Explanation:
The dividend discount model (DDM) is used to determine the value of stock by discounting the dividend to derive the present value of the stock.
Types of DDM
1.two stage : one stage of rapid growth and a stage of constant growth
3. three stage : one stage of super normal growth, followed by a stage of normal growth and then constant growth
For this company
first 5 years = o dividends
next 2 years = 15%
7th year - constant growth
Shortcomings of the DDM
It doesn't take a control perspective
It is unsuitable for firms that don't pay dividends
Eagle Inc. sold apparel to customers in May of 2020 for $240,000. At the point of sale, Eagle Inc. provided customers 2,400 coupons for 30% off purchases in June and July of 2020. The coupon is considered a separate performance obligation. Eagle Inc. estimates the standalone selling price of the apparel to be $240,000 and the standalone selling price of the coupons to be $36,000 ($30 estimated coupon value x 1,200 coupons expected to be redeemed). Determine the amount of revenue that Eagle would record in May for the sale of apparel, and the amount of revenue deferred for the customer options (coupon promotion).
Answer:
Eagle Inc.
The amount of revenue that Eagle would record in May for the sale of apparel is $240,000.
The amount of revenue deferred for the customer options (coupon promotion) is $0.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sales of apparel to customers in May 2020 = $240,000
Coupons for 30% off purchases in June and July = 2,400
Standalone selling price of the apparel = $240,000
Standalone selling price of the coupons expected to be redeemed = $36,000 (1,200 * $30)
b) The amount of revenue to record in May for the sale of apparel equals $240,000. The coupon expense of $36,000 will not be recognized by Eagle Inc. until the coupons are redeemed or used because the coupons were given to induce future purchases and not for the past purchase of apparel.

Entity B bought equipment for $240,000 on January 1, 2021. It estimated the useful life to be 3 years with no salvage value, and the straight-line method of depreciation was used. On January 1, 2022, Entity B decides that it will use the equipment for a total of 5 years. Compute the revised depreciation expense for 2022 and make the entry to record depreciation expense. Show work.
Answer:
Part 1
Revised depreciation expense = $32,000
Part 2
The entry to record depreciation expense :
Debit : Depreciation Expense $32,000
Credit : Accumulated Depreciation $32,000
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge over the year of use of an asset.
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Useful Life
2021
Depreciation expense = $80,000
2022
Old Depreciation expense = $80,000
New Depreciation expense = Depreciable Amount ÷ Remaining Useful Life
= ($240,000 - $80,000) ÷ 5
= $32,000
You are the manager of a firm that manufactures front and rear windshields for the automobile industry. Due to economies of scale in the industry, entry by new firms is not profitable. Toyota has asked your company and your only rival to simultaneously submit a price quote for supplying 100,000 front and rear windshields for its newest version of the Highlander. If both you and your rival submit a low price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a zero profit. If one firm quotes a low price and the other a high price, the low-price firm supplies 100,000 front and rear windshields and earns a profit of $11 million and the high-price firm supplies no windshields and loses $2 million. If both firms quote a high price, each firm supplies 50,000 front and rear windshields and earns a $6 million profit. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.
Answer:
a. The optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0)
b. Yes, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] > [tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex].
Explanation:
a. Determine your optimal pricing strategy if you and your rival believe that the new Highlander is a "special edition" that will be sold only for one year.
Note: See the attached excel file for the Representation of one shot normal for of the game played between "You" and "Your Rival" together with the payoffs.
From the attached excel file, the dominant strategy is for “You” and “Your Rival” to charge “Low Price” each. If the dominant strategy is played by “You” and “Your Rival”, the optimal pricing strategy will be one-shot Nash equilibrium in which “You” charge low price, “Your Rival” charge low price and then the payoff is ($0, $0).
b. Would your answer differ if you and your rival were required to resubmit price quotes year after year and if, in any given year, there was a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander? Explain.
When we have a year-after-year competition between “You” and “Your Rival” but with a 60 percent chance that Toyota would discontinue the Highlander, the payoffs of the firm that continue to comply with the collusive strategy of charging “High Price” by each firm under the normal trigger strategy whereby “You” and “Your Rival” agree to charge high price as long as there is no past deviation by any of the firm, otherwise charge a low price is as follows:
[tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex] = $6 + $6(100% - 60%) + $6(100% - 60%)^2 + 6(100% - 60%)^2 …….
[tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex] = $6 / 6% = $10
Therefore, what the firm that cheats earn today is $11 million and it earns $0 forever. The implication of this is that [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] = $11
Therefore, the anwer will differ becuase it is not possible to sustain the collusive outcome as a Nash equilibrium because [tex]\pi ^{Cheat}[/tex] > [tex]\pi ^{Cooperate}[/tex].
Juan works for you in the Customer Service Department. He hates answering incoming customer calls and prefers to respond to customer emails. Juan is scheduled to answer the phones today and insists that you let him switch with Shawna, who is assigned to e-mail duty. Although you have refused to allow Juan to switch schedules in the past, you agree to do so today. What is your style for handling this conflict
Answer:
Accommodating Style
Explanation:
It is correct to say that the style of accommodation was chosen to deal with the conflict exposed in the question above. This style understands that a party agrees to meet a person's needs for the sake of the relationship.
Accommodation in conflict resolution can be effective when the final result will not be as impacted by what you want to accept, as in the case of the question, since the change in the roles of Juan and Shawna will not affect the final result.
Which economic indicator most strongly suggests
that an economy is experiencing the trough phase
of the business cycle?
O A. Unemployment rates that had been rising
quickly have since slowed down.
B. Both GDP and unemployment rates are
beginning to rise quickly.
C. GDP had been rising quickly but has since slowed down
D. Both GDP and unemployment rates are beginning to fall quickly
Answer:
a
Explanation:
Unemployment rates that had been rising quickly have since slowed down. This economic indicator most strongly suggests that an economy is experiencing the trough phase of the business cycle. Hence, option A is appropriate.
What is the meaning of the Business Cycle?Business cycles are made up of coordinated cyclical upswings and downswings in output, employment, income, and sales, which are four broad indices of economic activity. In the business cycle, expansions and contractions alternate (recessions).
Economic activity goes through periods of boom and then contraction during business cycles. Two-quarters of negative GDP growth is occasionally used as the formal definition of a recession. The four stages of an economic cycle—also known as a business cycle—are expansion, peak, contraction, and trough.
The repeated economic shifts that occur in a nation over time are called business cycles. It can be recognized by changes in the GDP and other macroeconomic indicators. The business cycle has four phases: expansion, peak, contraction, and trough.
Hence, option A is correct.

Direct material budget. Inglenook Co. produces wine. The company expects to produce 2,500,000 two-liter bottles of Chablis in 2015. Inglenook purchases empty glass bottles from an outside vendor. Its target ending inventory of such bottles is 80,000; its beginning inventory is 50,000. For simplicity, ignore breakage. Compute the number of bottles to be purchased in 2015.
Answer:
2,530,000 bottles
Explanation:
Regarding the above information, we will compute the number of bottles to be purchased in 2015 as seen below
Purchase in units = Usage + Desired ending material inventory units - Beginning inventory units
Purchase in units = 2,500,000 + 80,000 - 50,000
Purchase in units = 2,530,000
Therefore, the number of bottles to be purchases in 2015 is 2,530,000
A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 23%, while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 29%.

If the variance of return on the portfolio is 0.042, the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is _________. Multiple Choice 0.088 0.304 0.213 0.091
Answer:
0.304
Explanation:
The calculation has been done step by step in order to understand the final result. Note that (p) in the below working refers to the correlation coefficient between Stock A and B.
0.042 = (0.70^2)(0.23^2) + (0.30^2)(0.29^2) + 2(0.70)(0.30)(0.23)(0.29)p
0.042 = 0.0259 + 0.0076 + 0.028p
0.042 = 0.0335 + 0.028p
0.042 - 0.0335 = 0.028p
0.0085 = 0.028p
p = 0.0085 / 0.028
p = 0.304

Mona is opening a new business selling fake fur coats. She organizes the company as a limited liability company called Fake-It, LLC and borrows $100,000 from a local bank in Fake-It's name. She also signs a personal guarantee at the bank promising to pay the debt of Fake-It. A friend of hers, Tanner, a second-year law student, advises her not to worry about the personal guarantee, because under the law of limited liability companies, it would be illegal for anyone to attempt to hold her liable for debts of the company. Is Tanner right?
Answer:
Yes but see explanation.
Explanation:
In lay man terms, the LLC is standing as a legal entity in itself. It can sue and be sued; as if it were a person. Tanner is right but Mona is a 'member' of the company (the owner or starter is called or seen as 'a member') and part of the liabilities of the company lie on her!
The legal document that determines who to hold liable for debts of the company is the Article of Organization. This document describes the rights, the powers, the responsibilities and the liabilities of each member of the limited liability company. So, if in this document, Mona bears a bulk of the financial liability of the company, then if the company is found wanting - on the basis of debt - and a court case comes up; Mona will be one of the members on the 'hot seat'.
Her personal bank account or financial assets might be protected in a company debt case but she'll still have to appear in court and be questioned accordingly. In lay man language, it is she - a human - who opened the business, so if there's debt, the humans involved (members) will be called upon.

Bond C pays a 10% annual coupon, while Bond Z is a zero coupon bond. Assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at 8.9% over the next 4 years, calculate the price of the bonds at each of the following years to maturity.
Years to Maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z

3 $1,065.93 $774.31
2 $1,045.80 $843.23
1 $1,023.88 $918.27
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel for the calculations of the prices of Bond C and Bond Z.
The price of each bond of the bond can be calculated using the following excel function:
Bond price = -PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)
Where;
rate = Yield to maturity of each of the bonds
NPER = Years to maturity
PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value
FV = Face value
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) for each of the Years to Maturity and inputting them into relevant cells in the attached excel sheet, we have:
Years to maturity Price of Bond C Price of Bond Z

WiseGuy Capital mutual fund has $200 million in assets and 10 million shares at the start of the year and with $250 million in assets and 11 million shares at the end of the year. During the year investors have received income distributions of $2 per share and capital gain distributions of $.25 per share. Assuming that the fund carries no debt, does not charge any load, and the total expense ratio is 2%, what is the rate of return on the fund
Answer:
The return rate on the fund is "23.75%".
Explanation:
The given values are:
In the starting of the year,
Mutual fund assets,
= $200
Share,
= 10 million
In the end of the year,
Income distribution,
= $2 per share
Capital gain distribution,
= $.25 per share
Total expense ration,
= 2%
Now,
The initial NAV will be:
= [tex]\frac{200mn}{10mn}[/tex]
= [tex]20[/tex]$
The final NAV will be:
= [tex]250-\frac{250\times 0.01}{11}[/tex]
= [tex]22.5[/tex]
hence,
The return will be:
= [tex]\frac{Change \ in \ NAV+Div+Capital \ gain \ distribution}{Initial \ NAV}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{22.5-20+2+0.25}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4.75}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]0.2375[/tex]
i.e.,
= [tex]23.75[/tex]%

Holder Manufacturing had $125,000 of net income in 2015 when the selling price per unit was $100, the variable costs per unit were $70, and the fixed costs were $475,000. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2016. The president of Holder Manufacturing is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $60,000 in 2016.
Instructions
A) Compute the number of units sold in 2015.
B) Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2016 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
C) Assume that Holder Manufacturing sells the same number of units in 2016 as it did in 2015. What would the selling price have to be in order to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
Answer:
Holder Manufacturing
A. The number of units sold in 2015 is:
= 20,000 units
B. The number of units that would have to be sold in 2016 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level is:
= 22,000 units
C. The selling price to reach the stockholders' desired profit level, assuming that Holder Manufacturing sells the same number of units in 2016 as it did in 2015 is:
= $103 per unit.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net income in 2015 = $125,000
Selling price per unit = $100
Variable costs per unit = $70
Contribution per unit = $30
Fixed costs = $475,000
Number of units sold in 2015:
Contribution margin = Net income + Fixed costs
= $125,000 + $475,000 = $600,000
Number of units sold = $600,000/$30 = 20,000 units
For 2016:
Contribution margin = $660,000 ($600,000 + $60,000)
Number of units to be sold = 22,000
If units sold in 2016 = 20,000, selling price would be:
Contribution would be = $33 ($660,000/20,000)
Selling price = Variable cost + Contribution margin per unit
= $70 + $33 = $103
The Buck Store is considering a project that will require additional inventory of $216,000 and will increase accounts payable by $181,000. Accounts receivable are currently $525,000 and are expected to increase by 9 percent if this project is accepted. What is the project's initial cash flow for net working capital
Answer:
$607,250 outflow
Explanation:
Net Working Capital is the amount of money needed to maintain operations on a day to day basis.
Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
where,
Current Assets are calculated as :
Inventory $216,000
Accounts Receivable ($525,000 x 1.09) $575,250
Total $788,250
and
Current Liabilities = $181,000
therefore,
Net Working Capital = $788,250 - $181,000 = $607,250
Conclusion
The project's initial cash flow for net working capital is $607,250 outflow.
The Hollister Company acquires a silver mine at the cost of $1,600,000 on January 1. Along with the purchase price Hollister pays additional costs associated with development of $50,000. Hollister expects the mine will have a salvage value of $175,000 once all the silver has been mined. Best estimates are that the mine contains 250,000 tons of ore.
a. Prepare the entry to record the purchase of the silver mine.
b. Prepare the December 31 year-end adjusting entry to record depletion is 60,000 tons of ore are mined and all the ore is sold.
c. Prepare the December 31 year-end adjusting entry to record depletion is 60,000 tons of ore are mined but only 15,000 tons of the ore are sold.
Answer:
Part a
Debit : Silver Mine $1,650,000
Credit : Cash $1,650,000
Part b
Debit : Depletion expense $354,000
Credit : Accumulated depletion $354,000
Part c
Debit : Depletion expense $354,000
Credit : Accumulated depletion $354,000
Explanation:
Step 1 : Cost of the Silver Mine
Purchase Price $1,600,000
Development Costs $50,000
Total Cost $1,650,000
Step 2 : Depletion rate
Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimate Usage
= $5.90
Step 3 : Depletion expense
Note : Depletion expense depends on units mined only instead of units sold.
Depletion expense = Depletion rate x Units mined
if 60,000 tons of ore are mined and sold :
Depletion expense = $354,000
if 60,000 tons of ore are mined but only 15,000 tons of the ore are sold :
Depletion expense = $354,000
How can life expectancy and literacy rates affect the quality of labor in the economy?

The payoff matrix supplied shows outcomes of various strategies that two firms might follow in response to action on the part of the other company. This payoff matrix describes actions in developing vaccines for not-too-rare but also not-too-common diseases. Each element shows the payoffs to a set of strategies as the payoff to the domestic firm, then a comma, then the payoff to the foreign firm.
Foreign firm

Domestic firm Enter -3,-3 183,0
Not Enter 0,183 0,0
Required:
What is the minimum subsidy the US must offer the domestic firm to ensure that it will choose to produce the vaccine?
Answer:
Subsidy per unit must be equal to 3.
Explanation:
The payoff matrix shows that the Domestic firm can earn -3 or 183 from entering into the market. While, it will get only 0 from not entering. So it will be beneficial for it to enter provided the government can bear the negative payoff it gets from entering as the foreign firm also enters.
Thus, if the government can subsidise the domestic firm's negative payoff of $3 from entering such that its payoff becomes, 0 or 186 from entering and 0 from not entering. Like this the domestic firm will be more likely to enter and produce the vaccine.
Thus, the amount of the subsidy must be $3.
Use the information provided to answer the questions. Actual price paid per pound of material $14.50 Total standard pounds for units produced this period 12,400 Pounds of material used 13,350 Direct materials price variance favorable $3,337.50 All material purchased was used in production. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. A. What is the standard price for materials
Answer:
$14.75= standard price
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual price paid per pound of material $14.50
Total standard pounds for units produced this period 12,400
Pounds of material used 13,350
Direct materials price variance favorable $3,337.50
To calculate the standard cost for materials, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
3,337.5 = (standard price - 14.5)*13,350
3,337.5 = 13,350standard price - 193,575
196,912.5 = 13,350standard price
