Answer:
B. Mercantilism's.
Explanation:
This form of trade was seen to be practiced by Great Britain within the 16th to the 18th century and it is explained to be a trade pattern where the a country uses its economy to built its power to be stronger and this is particularly done at the expense of other countries. This model is seen to encourage exports to other economies while imports are been highly restricted. In as much as this was been a pattern for the Europeans, other factors were been seen to happen in a bid to practise this model well which includes:
i). Tariff barriers, quotas or non-tariff barriers.
ii). Secretion and storage of foreign currency reserves, plus gold and silver reserves.
iii). National investments in research and development to maximise the efficiency and capacity of the domestic industry and many more only to mention but few.
Periodic review systems are best suited for the C category of items under the ABC classification scheme.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
ABC classification scheme refers to item analysis that is based upon the principle that there are many less critical items and few critical items by dividing on-hand inventory into three classes which is generally based upon annual dollar volume as follows:
"A items" have very tight control and accurate records
"B items" does not have a tight control and good records
"C items" have minimal records, periodic review, and and characterized by simple controls.
From the above explanation, it is therefore true that periodic review systems are best suited for the C category of items under the ABC classification scheme.
Kaleb is the only provider of bottled water for three cities. Because he has access to a natural spring, the marginal cost to produce an additional bottle is $0. Imagine he could price discriminate perfectly in this market. How much more profit would his firm earn if he practiced perfect price discrimination instead of practicing imperfect price discrimination (charging different prices in each city)
Answer:
The correct profit which the bottled water company owed by Kaleb could earn is actually $55. This is as a result of his access to natural spring water. In a situation whereby he didn't have access to the natural spring, definitely, his profit is going to be more than $55.
Explanation:
On January 1, 2019, Langdon & Co. issues bonds with a face value of $50,000 for $51,000. Each $1,000 bond carries 10 warrants, and each warrant allows the holder to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $40 per share. Immediately after the issuance, the bonds are quoted at 99 ex rights and the warrants are quoted at $5 each. Calculate the value to be assigned to the bonds and to the warrants.
Answer:
$48,548 to be assigned to the bonds, and $2,452 to the warrants
Explanation:
the value that should be assigned to the bonds is:
= [market value of bonds / (market value of bonds without warrants + market value of warrants)] x price at issuance
market value of bonds = 99 ex rights x 1,000 = $990
market value of warrants = $5 x 10 = $50
issuance price = $51,000
= [$990 / ($990 + $50)] x $51,000 = ($990 / $1,040) x $51,000 = 0.951923 x $51,000 = $48,548.08 ≈ $48,548
the value assigned to the warrants = $51,000 - $48,548 = $2,452
Bartelt Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operations: Number of units produced 5,900 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $ 66 Direct labor $ 60 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 7 Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 15 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 200,600 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 454,300 There were no beginning or ending inventories. The absorption costing unit product cost was
Answer:
The cost per unit under absorption costing is $167
Explanation:
Under absorption costing approach, the direct material, direct labor, Variable manufacturing overhead and fixed manufacturing overhead are considered as product cost. All other cost are considered as period cost
Thus, the cost per unit under the absorption costing is
Particulars Amount
Direct material $66
Direct labor $60
Variable manufacturing overhead $7
Fixed manufacturing overhead $34
$ 200,600 / 5,900
Cost per units $167
Thus, the cost per unit under absorption costing is $167
Comparative financial statements for Weller Corporation, a merchandising company, for the year ending December 31 appear below. The company did not issue any new common stock during the year. A total of 800,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. The interest rate on the bond payable was 12%, the income tax rate was 40%, and the dividend per share of common stock was $0.75 last year and $0.40 this year. The market value of the company’s common stock at the end of this year was $18. All of the company’s sales are on account.
Answer:
a lot of information is missing, so I looked for a similar question:
1) accounts receivable turnover = net sales / average accounts receivable = $79,000 / [($12,300 + 9,100)/2] = 7.38
2) average collection period = 365 days / accounts receivable turnover ratio = 365 / 7.38 = 49.46 days.
3) inventory turnover = COGS / average inventory = $52,000 / [($9,700 + $8,200)/2] = 5.81
4) average sale period = 365 days / inventory turnover = 365 / 5.81 = 62.82 days
5) Operating cycle = average sale period + average collection period = 49.46 + 62.82 = 67.28 days
6) total assets turnover ratio = net sales / average assets = $79,000 / [($52,2800 + $45,960)/2] = 1.64
Exchange rate is currently $1.25 US per 1 Euro. Interest rate is 2% in the US and 1% in Eurozone. A bank is long a futures contract on 1,000,000 Euro with F= $1.20 per unit, maturing in one year. What position should the bank take to hedge the currency risk?
a. Borrow $1,237,624 US
b. Invest $990,099 U.S.
c. Invest $1,237,624 US
d. Borrow $990,099 US
Answer:
Invest $990,099 U.S
Explanation:
The interest rate is 2% for US dollars and 1% for euro
The exchange rate is 1.25 dollars to a euro.
To calculate future exchange rate:
1.25dollars (1+exchange rate of us/1+ exchange rate of euro)
= 1.25(1.02/1.01)
= 1.2625
Approximately 1.26
After a year they will be getting .26 million dollars.
They need to invest something close to this amount 1.2/1.02
Therefore option b is the best answer
Talbot Industries is considering launching a new product. The new manufacturing equipment will cost $16 million, and production and sales will require an initial $3 million investment in net operating working capital. The company's tax rate is 30%.
1. What is the initial investment outlay? Write out your answer completely. For example, 2 million should be entered as 2,000,000.
$
2. The company spent and expensed $150,000 on research related to the new product last year. Would this change your answer?
A. Yes
B. No
3. Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. How would this affect your answer?
The project's cost will:_________
Answer:
1.Initial investment outlay= $19 million
2. N0
3.Initial investment outlay= $ 20.5 million
The project's cost will INCREASE
Explanation:
1. Calculation for the initial investment outlay
Using this is formula
Initial investment outlay = New equipment cost + Working capital
Let plug in the formula
Initial investment outlay= $16 million + $3 million
Initial investment outlay= $19 million
Therefore the Initial investment outlay will be $19 million
2. If the company spent and as well expensed the amount of $150,000 on research related to the new product last year, this means that the amount of $150,000 which is a research cost will be a sunk cost because it occured last year which simply means that the initial investment outlay will still remains the amount of $ 19 million.
Therefore there would NOT be any change in the initial investment outlay because it will still remains at the amount of $ 19 million.
3. If the building could be sold for the amount of $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions and the company wishes NOT to sell the building this will lead to a loss for the company which is why the company will have to add the amount of $1.5 million into the already initial investment outlay of $19 million while evaluating their project.
Hence,
Initial investment outlay = $19 million +$ 1.5 million
Initial investment outlay= $ 20.5 million
Therefore The project's cost will INCREASE by the market value of the building
Which federal reserve policies would help the economy out of a recession?
Answer:
Quantitative measures, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Recession is the period of economic contraction during which the aggregate demand falls. During this period, no new investment and employment generated. Therefore, those federal policies that increase the purchasing power of people and help to increase the aggregate demand or spending are implemented. Thus, quantitative measures can be taken, like a decrease in bank rate, open market operations ( purchase of govt. bonds and securities), etc. All policies will have the aim of providing the money supply in the economy so that new investment can be made and employment can be generated.
On January 2, 2016, Jennings Company purchases machinery and equipment and borrows $200,000 on a 5-year non-interest-bearing note. The principal of $200,000 will be paid at the maturity date of December 31, 2020. To place a fair value on the transaction, the accountant will impute an interest rate and use that rate to compute the present value of the note.Required: Assuming that an 8% interest rate is applicable, record the journal entry for interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Answer:
December 21, 2016
DR Interest expense....................................................$10,889.33
CR Discount on notes payable.......................................................$10,889.33
Explanation:
The interest to be paid will be charged on the present value of the note in 2016.
Present value of $200,000 = 200,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^5
= 200,000/1.4693280768
= $136,116.64
Interest to be paid;
= 136,116.64 * 8%
= $10,889.33
on march 1 shipley resources entered into an agreement with the state of alaska to obtain rights 6 million 100,000 tons of mineral how much accretion expense will the company record in its income statement
Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question:
On March 1, 2018, Shipley Resources entered into an agreement with the state of Alaska to obtain the rights to operate a mineral mine for $6 million. The mine is expected to produce 100,000 tons of mineral. As part of the agreement, Shipley agrees to restore the land to its original condition after mining operations are completed in approximately five years. Management has provided the following possible outflows for the restoration costs that will occur five years from now:
Cash Outflow Probability
$ 300,000 25 %
400,000 50 %
500,000 25%
Shipley's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate is 10%. During 2018, Shipley extracted 18,000 tons of ore from the mine. How much accretion expense will the company record in its income statement for the 2018 fiscal year?
A) $30,326.
B) $20,697.
C) $24,837.
D) $27,294.
answer : $20697 (B)
Explanation:
Determine how much accretion expense the company will record in its income statement
from the table
cash flow : $300000 * 25% = $75000
$400000 * 50% = $200000
$500000 * 25% = $125000
At the present value of $1,
number of years (n) = 5
interest (i) = 10% = 0.1
2018 accretion expense will be calculated as
($400000 * 0.62092) * 0.10 * 10/12 = $20697
A key economic problem refers to the fact that scarcity forces us to choose, and these resulting choices are costly because we must give up other opportunities that we value.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Economics provides us with the understanding that human wants are unlimited but the resources available to satisfy these wants are in short supply. Therefore, individuals and societies must make choices and this in turn would require selecting the best alternative. We most times have to give up valued choices to select the best or most important at that particular time.
These are the alternative forgone which we must forsake to satisfy the most pressing need. For example, a student who wants to study to pass his exams might have to forgo buying the latest phone so as to afford a textbook which he needs in order to pass his exams.
In 6 years, the P/E ratio is expected to be 25 and the payout ratio to be 80%. What is the current stock price when using the P/E ratio
Complete Question:
A stock just paid an annual dividend of $7.7. The dividend is expected to grow by 5% per year for the next 6 years. In 6 years, the P/E ratio is expected to be 25 and the payout ratio to be 80%.
The required rate of return is 8%.
What should be the current stock price?
Answer:
$245.10
Explanation:
As we know that:
P/E = Market Price of Stock / Earning Per Share
Here
P/E is 25 time
Earning Per Share is $12.9 per share (Step1)
By putting values, we have:
25 Times = Market Price of Stock / $15.6 per share
25 Times * $12.9 per share = Market Price of Stock
Market Price of Stock = $322.5 per share
Present value computation for first 6 years:
Yrs Future Cash flow Discount Factor Present Value
1 $7.7 *(1.05)^1 0.926 7.49
2 $7.7 *(1.05)^2 0.857 7.28
3 $7.7 *(1.05)^3 0.794 7.08
4 $7.7 *(1.05)^4 0.735 6.88
5 $7.7 *(1.05)^5 0.681 6.69
6 $7.7 *(1.05)^6 + $322.5 0.630 209.68
Present value of stock $245.10
Step1: Find Earning Per Share
As we know that:
Earning Per Share = Dividend / Payout Ratio
Here
Dividend after 6 years = $7.7 (1 + 5%)^6 = $10.32 per share
Payout Ratio = 80% = 0.8
By putting values, we have:
EPS = $10.32 / 0.8 = $12.9 per share
Using the method of your choice, calculate the Net Present Value of the following cash flows. Assume that the required return on this project is 15%
Project A
Initial Cost -$150
Year 1 $175
Year 2 $100
A. $15
B. $35
C. $55
D. $70
E. $78
Answer:
E. $78
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
Net present value is
= Initial investment + year cash inflows ÷ (1 + discount rate)^number of years + year cash inflows ÷ (1 + discount rate)^number of years
= -$150 + $175 ÷ 1.15 + $100 ÷ 1.15^2
= $77.78
= $78
Hence, the correct option is E. $78
Coronado Industries produces only one product. Monthly fixed expenses are $14000, monthly unit sales are 3000, and the unit contribution margin is $10. How much is monthly net income?
Answer:
the monthly net income is $16,000
Explanation:
The computation of the monthly net income is shown below:
Net income = contribution margin - fixed expenses
where,
Fixed expenses is $14,000
And, the contribution margin is
= Monthly unit sales × unit contribution margin
= 3,000 × $10
= $30,000
So, the monthly net income is
= $30,000 - $14,000
= $16,000
hence, the monthly net income is $16,000
The present value of growth opportunities (PVGO) is equal to: I) the difference between a stock's price and its no-growth value per share. II) the stock's price. III) zero if its return on equity equals the discount rate. IV) the net present value of favorable investment opportunities.
Answer: I, III and IV
Explanation:
The present value of growth opportunities (PVGO) is equal to the difference between the price of a stock and its no-growth value per share.
It us also equal to zero if its return on equity equals the discount rate and us also the net present value of favorable investment opportunities.
The present value of growth opportunities (PVGO) is not equal to the stock price. Therefore, option I, III and IV are correct.
A house sold for $165,000, and the total commission received by the broker was $13,200. What was the rate of commission?
Answer:
the rate of commission is 8%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of commission is shown below:
Rate of commission is
= Commission received by the broker ÷ Sale value of the home
where,
The Commission received by the broker is $13,200
And, the sale value of the home is $165,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the rate of commission is
= $132,00 ÷ $165,000
= 8%
Hence, the rate of commission is 8%
Lisa Lasher buys 400 shares of stock on margin at $21 per share. If the margin requirement is 50 percent, how much must the stock rise for her to realize a 35-percent return on her invested funds
Answer:
$3.68 per share
Explanation:
Lisa Lasher purchases 400 shares of stock on margin at the price of $21 per share
The margin requirement is 50%
= 50/100
= 0.5
The first step is to calculate the amount of money invested
= $21×400×0.5
= $4,200
The amount in which the stock must rise to inorder for Lisa to realize a 35% return on invested funds can be calculated as follows
= 35/100×4,200
= 0.35×4,200
= $1,470
$1470/400 shares
= $3.68 per share
Hence the stock must rise to $3.68 per share for Lisa to realize a 35% return on her invested funds
When using the indirect method to prepare the operating section of a statement of cash flows, which of the following is deducted from net income to compute cash provided by used by operating activities?
a. Decrease in accounts receivable
b. Gain on sale of land.
c. Amortization of patent
d. All of the above are deducted from net income to arrive at cash flow from operating activities
Answer:
B
Explanation:
When using the indirect method to prepare the operating section of a statement of cash flows , the gain on sale of land will be deducted from the net income as it has already been included in the net income as the gain on the sales of the land , which was a non cash recognition in the course of the business.
Decrease in receivable means that there was an inflow of cash as some receivables had paid their debts , thus it is added.
The amortization is a non cash expenses that had been deducted which will need to be added back to the net income for the purpose of cash flow.
An all-equity firm with 200,000 shares outstanding, Antwerther Inc., has $2,000,000 of EBIT, which is expected to remain constant in the future. The company pays out all of its earnings, so earnings per share (EPS) equal dividends per shares (DPS). Its tax rate is 40%.The company is considering issuing $5,000,000 of 10.0% bonds and using the proceeds to repurchase stock. The risk-free rate is 6.5%, the market risk premium is 5.0%, and the beta is currently 0.90, but the CFO believes beta would rise to 1.10 if the recapitalization occurs.Assuming that the shares can be repurchased at the price that existed prior to the recapitalization, what would the price be following the recapitalization?
Answer:
$69.23
Explanation:
current stock price (pre-recapitalization)
Div = EPS
EPS = ($2,000,000 x 0.6) / 200,000 = $6
g = 0
Re = 6.5% + (0.9 x 5%) = 6.5% + 4.5% = 11%
P₀ = $6 / 11% = $54.55
the stock repurchase = $5,000,000 / $54.545454 = 91,666 stocks
total outstanding stocks after the repurchase = 200,000 - 91,666 = 108,334
new net income = ($2,000,000 - $500,000) x 0.6 = $900,000
new EPS = $900,000 / $8.30764
new Re = 6.5% + (1.1 x 5%) = 12%
P₁ = $8.30764 / 12% = $69.230333 = $69.23
Wendell’s Donut Shoppe is investigating the purchase of a new $40,000 donut-making machine. The new machine would permit the company to reduce the amount of part-time help needed, at a cost savings of $5,200 per year. In addition, the new machine would allow the company to produce one new style of donut, resulting in the sale of 2,000 dozen more donuts each year. The company realizes a contribution margin of $2.40 per dozen donuts sold. The new machine would have a six-year useful life. Click here to view Exhibit 14B-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: 1. What would be the total annual cash inflows associated with the new machine for capital budgeting purposes? 2. What discount factor should be used to compute the new machine’s internal rate of return? (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) 3. What is the new machine’s internal rate of return? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percentage.) 4. In addition to the data given previously, assume that the machine will have a $10,515 salvage value at the end of six years. Under these conditions, what is the internal rate of return? (Hint: You may find it helpful to use the net present value approach; find the discount rate that will cause the net present value to be closest to zero.) (
Answer:
initial outlay $40,000
savings per year = $5,200
additional contribution margin = 2,000 x $2.40 = $4,800
machines useful life = 6 years
1) total annual cash flows (assuming no residual value)
Year₀ = -$40,000
Year₁ = $5,200 + $4,800 = $10,000
Year₂ = $10,000
Year₃ = $10,000
Year₄ = $10,000
Year₅ = $10,000
Year₆ = $10,000
2) to determine IRR we can use a financial calculator or the present value of an annuity formula:
PV = annual payment x annuity factor
PV = $40,000
annual payment = $10,000
annuity factor = $40,000 / $10,000 = 4
3) using present value of an annuity table:
we have 6 periods, and we must look for an interest rate that results in an annuity factor of 4 = 13% (the exact annuity factor is 3.998)
using a financial calculator, the IRR = 12.98%, which we can round to 13%
4) the cash flows will be:
Year₀ = -$40,000
Year₁ = $10,000
Year₂ = $10,000
Year₃ = $10,000
Year₄ = $10,000
Year₅ = $10,000
Year₆ = $20,515
We cannot use the annuity formula now because our annuities are not equal. Using a financial calculator, IRR = 16.99%
The acquisition value attributable to the non-controlling interest at January 1, 2019 is: A) $23,400. B) $24,000. C) $24,900. D) $26,000. E) $20,000.
Answer:
D) $26,000
Explanation:
The computation of the acquisition value associated with the non-controlling interest is shown below:
= Cash ÷ acquiring percentage × non- owning percentage
= $234,000 ÷ 0.90 × 0.10
= $26,000
It is computed by simply applied the above formula so that the acquisition value in case of non controlling interest could arrive and the same is to be considered
Aguilera Corp. has a current accounts receivable balance of $337,800. Credit sales for the year just ended were $4,644,750.
A. What is the company's receivables turnover?
B. What is the company's day's sales in receivables?
C. How long did it take on average for credit customers to pay off their accounts during the past year?
Answer:
A. 13.75 times
B. 26.55
C. 26.55 days
Explanation:
A. Receivable turnover = Credit sales / Average accounts receivables
= 4,644,750 / 337,800
= 13.75 times
B. Days sales in receivables
= 365 / receivables turnover
= 365 / 13.75
= 26.55
C. Average collection period
= 26.55 days

The FI Corporation's dividends per share are expected to grow indefinitely by 5% per year. a. If this year’s year-end dividend is $8 and the market capitalization rate is 10% per year, what must the current stock price be according to the dividend discount model? b. If the expected earnings per share are $12, what is the implied value of the ROE on future investment opportunities? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.) c. How much is the market paying per share for growth opportunities (that is, for an ROE on future investments that exceeds the market capitalization rate)?
Answer:
a) Div₁ = $8
Re = 10%
g = 5%
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g) = $8 / (10% - 5%) = $8 / 5% = $160
b) we can use the following formula: g = ROE x b
g = growth rate = 5%
b = retention rate = ($12 - $8) / $12 = 0.3333
ROE = g / b = 5% / 33.33% = 15%
c) the present value of growth opportunity (PVGO) = P₀ - EPS / Re = $160 - $12/10% = $160 - $120 = $40
the market is paying $40 for the company's growth opportunity
Kit-N-Sit and Kittysitters are two cat-sitting services in Kent, Ohio. There are no other cat-sitting services, so the market is considered to be a duopoly. According to the kinked demand curve theory, if Kit-N-Sit cuts prices, Kittysitters will
Answer:
also cut its prices.
Explanation:
the kinked demand theory is based on the premise that prices in oligopoly or duopoly markets tend to be very rigid and the participating industries are not very responsive to price changes. I.e. competitors will tend to respond more to a price decrease than to a price increase. In this case, Kittysitters will only change their prices if Kit-N-Sit decreases them. Instead, if Kit-N-Sit increased their prices, Kittysitters would do nothing.

Answer: I. must establish an SEC-registered U.S. subsidiary.
III. can effect its business through another registered U.S. broker-dealer.
Explanation:
If a foreign broker-dealer that does not have U.S. based operations wishes to solicit customers in the United States, the broker-dealer must establish an SEC-registered U.S. subsidiary and can also effect its business through another registered U.S. broker-dealer.
The strategy that a firm chooses dictates such structural elements as the division of tasks, the need for integration of activities, and authority relationships within the organization. This implies that
Answer: C. structure follows strategy.
Explanation:
The text mentions that the strategy that is chosen is the one to influence the structural elements in an organization. This is true because the Strategy of the Organization tells what the Organization wants to achieve in the long run.
