Answer:
Stock price = $41.50
Explanation:
We know,
Stock price, Po = Dividend of next year (D1) ÷ (Required rate of return (k) - divindend growth rate, g)
Given,
Dividend for the next year, D1 = $5.25
Required rate of return, k = 15.5% = 0.155
Constant growth rate, g = 2.85% = 0.0285
Putting the values into the right formula, we get,
Po = D1 ÷ (k - g)
or, Po = $5.25 ÷ (0.155 - 0.0285)
or, Po = $5.25 ÷ 0.1265
Therefore, Po = $41.50
Therefore, the company's share price is stable and acceptable.

At the end of the season, a merchandiser notices that 80% of the items he manages have left over inventory. Another merchandiser notices that only 20% of her items have left over inventory. Who makes better decisions
The second manager makes better decision amongst the two managers
Explanation:
Inventory refers to that part of the final goods or the products that have remained unsold for the current period. Generally, Inventory is associated with liability in the long term since they are associated with storage surcharges and obsolescence threats.
Amongst the two managers, the second manager is more capable of making a better decision since his decisions led to just 20% of the net produced goods to turn inventory which remains advantageous for the company. Whereas for the first manager, 80% of the items remain as inventory. Hence more risk and greater storage surcharges for the firm

Using wordiness which is crucial in making a document appealing D. Creating emotional appeal by a generic group instead of specifics E. Using a long-winded style because it evokes interest in a reader
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Using sensory details to help people connect to a cause.
Explanation:
Sensory details are used in writing to attract readers' attention. Those details involve the use of the senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Sensory details help information, whether written or spoken, to push the audience to interact with what us being prompted.
In case the objective of using sensory details for a fund-raising message, the writer, for instance, could talk about the need of collecting monetary resources to clean the river that crosses the bridge that connects the suburbs with the city because of its unpleasant bad smelling. The next time the reader goes through the bridge, the individual will likely pay attention to the smelling of the bridge to confirm what the author said, which will possibly lead him or her to contribute with the cleaning cause.
Don James purchased a new automobile for $15,000. Don made a cash down payment of $3,750 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in 30 monthly installments, beginning one month from the date of purchase. Financing is available at a 24% annual interest rate. (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: Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
The monthly payments are calculated below.
Explanation:
Total monthly instalments= 15,000-3,750
=11,250
Amount payable at 24% annual financing;
A=P (1+r/100)n
=11,250(1+24/100)30/12
=$642
FV=PV (1+r)n
i) FV=12,000*(1.08)16
= $41,111
ii) FV =16,000*(1.05)15
= $33,263
iii) FV =29,000*(1.11)12
= $101,455
iv) FV =49,000*(1.04)7
= $64,481
Final answer:
Don James needs to calculate the monthly payment of his automobile loan with a 24% annual interest rate using the present value annuity formula, accounting for his down payment and financing terms.
Explanation:
Don James needs to calculate the monthly payment for his new automobile loan. With a purchase price of $15,000, a down payment of $3,750, and the remaining balance to be financed at a 24% annual interest rate, we can use the formula for the present value of an annuity to find the required monthly payment. Although detailed information from the provided factor tables is necessary to complete this calculation, the general form of the present value annuity formula can still be demonstrated. Typically, the present value (PV) of an annuity formula is used, and the payment (PMT) could be found as:
PV = PMT * [1 - (1 + i)^-n]/i, where i represents the monthly interest rate and n is the total number of payments.
In the context of a financing calculation, one can calculate the monthly payment using a financial calculator or spreadsheets, substituting the numbers into the formula with i equal to the monthly interest rate (annual rate/12) and n equal to the number of months for the loan period.
What would be the monthly operating advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the goods internally, assuming the external supplier increased its price to $50 per pound and the Production Division is able to utilize the facilities for other operations, resulting in a monthly cash-operating savings of $30 per pound
Answer:
The monthly operating advantage of purchasing internally is $20
Explanation:
Judging from an opportunity perspective,the company pays $50 when he purchases externally and as a result saves $30,in essence the company incurs $20($50-$30) more when it purchases externally.
No doubt that if the situation reverses itself, the company gains $20 if produces and sells internally as against purchasing from external party.
From the foregoing,it is obvious that the monthly operating advantage of purchasing goods internally is a cash saving of $20 per item
Hence, buying internally is more desirable and preferred option

Exchange rate forecast is a method that is used to predict exchange rates by collecting all the relevant factors that may affect a currency. Exchange rate forecasting is vital because exchange rates influence all aspects of business.
The exchange rate plays a vital role for firms that import raw materials and export goods. A depreciation i.e a devaluation of the currency will make exports cheaper and therefore exporting firms will benefit. Every firm is interconnected in one way or the other, therefore exchange rate is vital.
You’re trying to save to buy a new $215,000 Ferrari. You have $36,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 4.3 percent annual interest on its accounts. How long will it be before you have enough to buy the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Length of time years
Answer:
42.45 years
Explanation:
Discounting is the means by which the today's value of an amount in the future is computed. Compounding is the process by which the future value of a present amount is determined. In other words, the present value of $1 tomorrow is determined by discounting while the future value of $1 tomorrow is determined by compounding.
Where
Fv = Pv(1 + r)^n
Fv is the future value
Pv is the present value
r is rate
n is time
215000 = 36000(1 + 0.043)^n
215/36 = 1.043^n
Taking the log of both sides
log (215/36) = log 1.043^n
n = log (215/36) / log 1.043
n = 42.45 years
It will take 42.45 years to have enough to buy the car
Gary is taking out a $5,000 loan for 1 year at an APR of 12%. His bank has offered him a loan using the add-on method. Using first the financial calculator method and the add-on method calculate Gary's monthly loan payment. Select one: A. $475.00; $448.94 B. $444.24; $466.67
Using the financial calculator method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $444.24. Using the add-on method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $466.67.
Explanation:In order to calculate Gary's monthly loan payment using the financial calculator method, we need to use the formula:
Monthly payment = P * r * (1+r)^n / [(1+r)^n - 1]
Where:
P is the principal amount ($5,000)r is the monthly interest rate (APR / 12)n is the number of payments (1 year * 12 months)So, for Gary's loan:
P = $5,000
r = 12% / 12 = 1%
n = 1 year * 12 months = 12
Plugging these values into the formula gives us:
Monthly payment = $5,000 * 0.01 * (1+0.01)^12 / [(1+0.01)^12 - 1]
Simplifying this expression gives us:
Monthly payment = $5,000 * 0.01 * (1.01^12) / [(1.01^12) - 1]
Calculating this expression gives us:
Monthly payment = $444.24
Therefore, using the financial calculator method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $444.24.
Using the add-on method, we need to calculate the total amount paid over the year and then divide it by 12 to get the monthly payment. The total amount paid over the year would be the principal amount plus the interest, which is:
Total amount paid = principal amount + (principal amount * APR)
For Gary's loan:
Total amount paid = $5,000 + ($5,000 * 0.12)
Simplifying this expression gives us:
Total amount paid = $5,000 + $600 = $5,600
Dividing this total amount by 12 gives us the monthly payment:
Monthly payment = $5,600 / 12 = $466.67
Therefore, using the add-on method, Gary's monthly loan payment is $466.67.

Additional paid.in 18,500 credit
--to record issuance of shares for land --
Cash 49,500 debit
Common Stock 49,500 credit
--to record issuance of no-par stock--
Explanation:
We will compare the amount collected from the shares issued against the face value to get the amount of additional paid-in:
3,100 shares x $10 = 31,000
we collect $ 49,500
additional paid-in 18,500
When there is a no-par value we post the entire amount against common stock.
Eight equal-strength players, including Alice and Bob, are randomly split into 4 pairs, and each pair plays a game (i.e. 4 games in total), resulting in four winners. What is the probability that exactly one of Alice and Bob will be among the four winners
Answer:
probability that exactly one of Alice and Bob will be among the winners is 0.5714
Explanation:
The question is to determine the probability that oneof Alice and Bob will be among the winners
It is also important to note that Alice and Bob cannot win at the same time
Therefore,
Probability of Alice and Bob split up = 6/7
Based on this probability, we make the case as follows
First case: Alice wins and Bob loses
Probability of Alice win = 1/2
Probability of Bob lose = 1
Probability of Alice winning and Bob losing = 1/2 x 1/2 =1/4
Second Case: Bob wins and Alice loses
Probability of Bob win = 1/2
Probability of Alice lose = 1
Probability of Bob winning and Alice losing = 1/2 x 1/2 =1/4
Third Case
The Probability that Alice and Bob play each other = 1/7
Based on all the estalished Cases
The required probability that exactly one of Alice and Bob will be among the winners is
(6/7 x 1/4) + (6/7 x1/4) + 1/7
= (2 x 6/7 x 1/4) + 1/7
= 6/14 + 1/7
= 3/7 +1/7
= 4/7 = 0.5714
Seashore Home provides house-sitting for people while they are away on vacation. Some of its customers pay immediately after the job is finished. Some customers ask that the business send them a bill. As of the end of the year, Seashore Home has collected $1,460 from cash-paying customers. Seashore Home’s remaining customers owe the business $1,810. Seashore Home recorded $1,460 of service revenue for the year.
If Seashore Home had recorded their service revenue using the other method, how much service revenue would they have recorded for the year?
Answer:
The service revenue for the year under accrual basis is $3270.
Explanation:
The Seashore Home currently uses the cash basis system to record sales which require Seashore to record only the sales that have been paid for. The other method to record transactions is using the accrual basis. The accrual basis requires an entity to record revenues and expenses in the period in which they occured and are relevant to. Thus under accrual basis, sales made in a year, whether cash or credit, will be recorded as sales for that year.
Following accrual basis, the Service revenue for Seashore will be:
Service revenue = 1460 + 1810 = $3270
Cassius Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is within the relevant range. Sales (7,000 units) $ 210,000 Variable expenses 136,500 Contribution margin 73,500 Fixed expenses 67,200 Net operating income $ 6,300 The number of units that must be sold to achieve a target profit of $31,500 is closest to______________.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
The breakeven point is the number of units that must be sold for the company to make neither a loss nor a profit. A target profit is the net of the sales less the sum of the fixed and variable expenses. The contribution margin is the difference between the sales and variable cost.
Sales per unit = $210,000/7000 = $30
Variable cost per unit = $136,500/7000 = $19.50
Let the number of units to be sold to achieve the profit target be x
30x - 19.5x - 67200 = 31500
10.5x = 98700
x = 98700/10.5
x = 9,400 units
Suppose Yamahonda, a Japanese-owned motorcycle manufacturer, builds a production plant in Alabama. This is an example of foreign ___ investment in the United States. Which of the following policies are consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries? Check all that apply.
A.Imposing restrictions on foreign ownership of domestic capital.
B.Pursuing inward-oriented policies.
C.Increasing taxes on income from savings.
D.Protecting property rights and enforce contracts.
Answer:1) Foreign direct
Question 2.
B. Pursuing inward-oriented policies
C. increasing taxes on income from savings
D.Protecting property rights and enforce contracts.
Explanation:Foreign direct investment is a type of investment which is carried out by another country in another country. The foreign country either it invest directly or through corporations or other companies from its country into another country.
The goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PURSUING INWARD-ORIENTED POLICIES, increasing TAXES ON INCOME FROM SAVINGS and PROTECTING PROPERTY RIGHTS AND ENFORCE CONTRACTS.
Yamahonda's establishment of a production plant in Alabama is an example of foreign direct investment. For developing countries aiming to boost productivity and growth, certain policies like protecting property rights and enforcing contracts are vital. Conversely, imposing restrictions on foreign capital, adopting inward-oriented policies, and raising taxes on savings could hinder economic development.
Explanation:When Yamahonda, a Japanese-owned motorcycle manufacturer, decides to build a production plant in Alabama, this is an example of foreign direct investment in the United States. This kind of investment is crucial for economic growth and development, not just in developed countries like the US but also in developing nations seeking to increase their productivity and growth.
Regarding policies consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries, not all strategies are equally effective. For example, protecting property rights and enforcing contracts (option D) is fundamental to encouraging investment and ensuring a stable economic environment. This measure helps in creating a conducive environment for both local and foreign investments, which is essential for economic growth.
On the contrary, imposing restrictions on foreign ownership of domestic capital (option A), pursuing inward-oriented policies (option B), and increasing taxes on income from savings (option C) could potentially stifle economic growth. These policies can deter foreign investment, limit access to global markets, and discourage savings and investment, respectively.
A German firm is attempting to determine the euro/pound exchange rate and has the following exchange rate information: USD/pound = $1.5509/£ and the USD/euro rate = $1.2194/€. Therefore, the euro/pound rate must be:
Answer:
Exchange rate is €1.272 per £
Explanation:
Exchange rate is defined as the amount of one currency that can be changed for another currency. This is a very important consideration in international trade where strength of a countrie's currency determines how much of the other currency will be bought.
We are given that $1.5509= £1
So $1 will be (1*1)/1.5509= £0.6448
Also $1.2194= €1
So $1 is (1*1)/1.2194= €0.82
Therefore
€0.82= £0.6448
x= £1
Cross-multiply
x= 0.82/0.6448
x= €1.272 per £
Final answer:
The euro/pound exchange rate can be determined by converting the given exchange rates from USD to euro and pound. The euro/pound rate is €0.7879/£.
Explanation:
The euro/pound exchange rate can be calculated using the given exchange rate information.
To find the euro/pound rate, we need to convert both the USD/euro and USD/pound rates to euro/pound. Given USD/pound = $1.5509/£ and USD/euro = $1.2194/€, the euro/pound rate is calculated as $1.2194/€ ÷ $1.5509/£ = €0.7879/£.
International investors pulled their funds out of Asia and moved them into mostly the United States. Using the large open economy model that we learned in class, analyze the impact of this policy on U.S. interest rates, real exchange rate, and trade balance.
Answer:
Policy impact will be positive
Explanation:
When investors pull out their funds from Asian, it will amount to scarcity of funds for developmental purposes. The contrary is the case when such funds are plunged into the US market. Its impact to the economy include:
1. Create more opportunity for development
2. Reduces the interest rate of lending in the society
3. Exchange rate value will decrease just because more of these funds will be used for business transactions
4. The prices of goods will be adjusted to balance the different caused by inflation
While there are intense debates among macroeconomists regarding the effectiveness of expansionary fiscal policy during a severe recession, both the Keynesian and non-Keynesian economists agree that fiscal policy is subject to some limitations as a stabilization tool.
Which of the following issues do most macroeconomists widely agree upon?
a. An increase in government spending will not stimulate aggregate output during a recession.
b. Government should increase its spending during a severe recession because the crowding-out will be minimal and will not negatively affect long-term growth.
c. Discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than is implied by the early Keynesian view.
Answer:C
Explanation:
Discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than is implied by the early Keynesian view
Most macroeconomists widely agree that discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than implied by the early Keynesian view. The correct answer is option c. Discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than is implied by the early Keynesian view.
Most macroeconomists widely agree on this issue because empirical evidence has shown that discretionary fiscal policy, while capable of influencing aggregate demand in theory, faces challenges in practice. Factors such as lags in implementation, uncertainty about the effectiveness of specific policies, and political constraints often limit the ability of policymakers to timely and accurately implement fiscal measures.
Additionally, changes in government spending and taxation can have unintended consequences, such as inflationary pressures or inefficient resource allocation, which may offset the intended stabilization effects.
Therefore, despite the theoretical potential of fiscal policy to stabilize the economy, its practical limitations lead most macroeconomists to agree that discretionary fiscal policy is less effective than initially suggested by the early Keynesian view.

And this will be measured by subtracting the contract price of the goods from the market price. I.e the price the goods would gave been sold and the price the seller accepted to sell to the buyer according to the contract they signed.
Does the production function:q=100L−20/kexhibit increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale?
Answer:
the production function q exhibits decreasing returns to scale
Explanation:
to see if the function exhibits decreasing , increasing or constant returns of scale , let increase the input of the function
q=100L−20/k
then for N times units of Labor L and Capital K
qn =100(N*L)−20/(N*k) = N*[100*L - 20/(N²*K)]
since 20/(N²*K) < 20/K for N>1
qn =100(N*L)−20/(N*k) = N*[100*L - 20/(N²*K)] < N*[100*L - 20/(K)] = N*q (constant returns of scale )
thus qn < constant returns of scale
therefore q exhibits decreasing returns to scale
ABC assumes all costs in a ________ can be grouped together because they all impact the activity.
(A) cost pool.
(B) department.
(C) time period.
(D) organization.
(E) product line.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": cost pool.
Explanation:
Activity-Based Costing or ABC is a managerial accounting method used to assign some indirect costs to the products which incur the bulk of those costs. By doing so, it is assumed that all those costs in the cost pool can be bundled because they are relevant for production. In the manufacturing sector, ABC is mainly used to help measure the true cost of production per unit.

Assume a major investment service has just given Oasis Electronics its highest investment rating, along with a strong buy recommendation. As a result, you decide to take a look for yourself and to place a value on the company's stock. Here's what you find: This year, Oasis paid its stockholders an annual dividend of $3.66 a share, but because of its high rate of growth in earnings, its dividends are expected to grow at the rate of 12% a year for the next 4 years and then to level out at 8 % a year. So far, you've learned that the stock has a beta of 1.64, the risk-free rate of return is 6%, and the expected return on the market is 11%. Using the CAPM to find the required rate of return, put a value on this stock.
Answer: 14.2
Explanation:
CAPM 0.142 or 0.06 x (0.11-0.05)
Answer:
The stock has an expected return of 14.2%.
Explanation:
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is what describes the relationship between the expected return and risk of investing in a security. It shows that the expected return on a security is equal to the risk-free return plus a risk premium, which is based on the beta of that security (Corporate Finance Institute, 2015). It is calculated as follows:
Expected Return = Risk free rate + [Beta * (Market rate – risk free rate)]
Re = Rf + [Beta * (Rm - Rf)]
For Oasis, the required rate of return is
Re = 0.06 + [1.64* (0.11 – 0.06)]
= 0.142
= 14.2%
The expected rate of 14.2% is higher than the market rate of 11% and higher than the risk free rate of 6%. The recommendation to buy is supported since it brings the higher return compared to a risk-free investment and the higher than the market rate.
The stock is undervalued, therefore buy.

Coleman Company owns a machine that produces a component for the products the company makes and sells. The company uses 1,800 units of this component in production each year. The costs of making one unit of this component are Direct material $ 7 Variable manufacturing overhead 6 Direct labor 4 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 The fixed overhead costs are unavoidable, and the unit cost is based on the present annual usage of 1,800 units of the component. An outside supplier has offered to sell Coleman this component for $18 per unit and can supply all the units it needs.
Should Coleman make or buy the component?
Answer:
Difference=$1,800
This shows if Coleman buys, the net income will decrease by $1,800. So Coleman should make components.
Explanation:
Given Data:
Direct material=$7
Variable manufacturing overhead=$6
Direct labor=$4
Fixed manufacturing overhead=$5
Required:
Should Coleman make or buy the component?
Solution:
Total Variable cost=Direct material+Variable manufacturing overhead+Direct labor
Total Variable cost=$7+$6+$4
Total Variable cost=$17
Cost From making=Units*Total Variable cost
Cost From making=1800*$17
Cost From making=$30,600
Supplier Price=$18
Cost From Buying=1800*$18
Cost From Buying=$32,400
Difference=Cost From Buying-Cost From making
Difference=$32,400-$30,600
Difference=$1,800
This shows if Coleman buys, the net income will decrease by $1,800. So Coleman should make components.
