The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue that hosts live concerts attended by over half a million patrons a year. A group of local organizers, led by a prominent local businesswoman, would like to use the pavilion for a concert to benefit a non-profit, national network of investors and environmental organizations working with companies and investors to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change. If the pavilion management agrees to host the concert, the organizers will donate all profits to Ceres (or absorb any losses).
Based on the following revenue and cost information, the organizers would like answers to several questions.
1. There are three sources of revenue for the concert:
2. Tickets will be sold for $15.50 each.
3. A large multinational corporation headquartered in Chicago will donate $2.00 per ticket sold.
4. Each concert attendee is expected to spend an average of $17.00 for parking, food, and merchandise.
5. On the expense side, there are also three components:
A popular national group has agreed to perform at the concert. Normally, the group demands a significant fixed fee to perform, but to reduce the risk for the organizers, the group has agreed to perform for $6.00 per ticket sold. The organizers will pay several companies to operate the parking, food, and merchandise concessions. They will pay $21,000 plus 15% of all parking, food, and merchandise revenue. The organizers will pay the pavilion $85,000 plus $7.00 per person attending to cover its operating expenses (production, maintenance, advertising, etc.)
Required:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
contribution margin per ticket = ($15.50 + $2 + $17) - ($6 + $2.55 + $7) = $34.50 - $15.55 = $18.95
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
total fixed costs = $21,000 + $85,000 = $106,000
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
estimated profit = (10,500 x $18.95) - $106,000 = $92,975
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $100,000) / $18.95 = 10,870.71 ≈ 10,871 tickets sold
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
$100,000 / (1 - 31%) = $144,927.54
number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $144,927.54) / $18.95 = 13,241.56 ≈ 13,241.56 tickets sold
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?
contribution margin increases to $18.95 + $7 = $25.95
10,500 = ($21,000 + $100,000 + ?) / $25.95
$272,475 = $121,000 + ?
? = $151,475
you can pay up to $151,475 in fixed expenses to the pavilion

The following expenditures were incurred by Tamarisk, Inc. in purchasing land: cash price $74,000, accrued taxes $4,400, attorneys’ fees $4,300, real estate broker’s commission $1,500, and clearing and grading $3,600. What is the cost of the land?
Answer:
$87,800
Explanation:
The following expenditures were incurred by Tamerisk incorporation when purchasing a land
Cash price = $74,000
Accured taxes = $4,400
Attorneys fee= $4,300
Real estate brokers commission = $1,500
Clearing and grading = $3,600
Therefore the cost of the land can be calculated as follows
= $74,000 + $4,400 + $4,300 + $1,500 + $3,600
= $87,800
Hence the cost of the land is $87,800

Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
Scenario: You are 30 years old, married, have two children, and household income (take-home pay) of$3,500 per month. Your credit and consumer debt is as follows:_______.
• Car loan, 6% interest rate, $10,000 balance, $295 per month
• Department store card, 28% interest rate, $600 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
• Discover Card, 12% interest rate, $2,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• VISA Card, 13% interest rate, $3,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 1, 14% interest rate, $4,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 2, 14% interest rate, $0 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• Gasoline card, 21% interest rate, $300 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
Assume all credit cards will assess a $35 late fee and ongoing penalty interest of 8% above the currentrate if you miss a payment. Your recent VISA card statement came with a blank cash advance check(for up to $10,000) with terms of 23.99% APR and a fee of 3% if you use it. Your recent MasterCard 2statement came with a balance transfer oFer (up to $4,000) with no fee and 0% APR for 12 months,after which the normal interest rate applies. You recently found an incorrect amount charged on yourVISA card from a store you frequent often. You’d like to come up with a plan to eliminate all of yourcredit card debt.

Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.
In respect to organizational structure and decision making, a "Flat Structure" is best characterized as:___________
a) A management structure characterized by an overall narrow span of management, a relatively large number of hierarchical levels, tight control, and reduced communication overhead. Decision-making can be quite rapid, if it occurs from the top down.
b) A management structure characterized by a wide span of control and relatively few hierarchical levels, loose control, and ease of delegation. Decision-making is often slower, as it involves a high degree of integration across the company.
c) The location of decision making authority near top organizational levels.
Similar to a tall structure, this expedites decision-making from the top down.
d) The location of decision making authority is relatively evenly dispersed across the company. This works well when creativity and independent operations create value for the organization.
e) None of the answers in this answer set are correct.
Answer:
A management structure characterized by a wide span of control and relatively few hierarchical levels, loose control, and ease of delegation. Decision-making is often slower, as it involves a high degree of integration across the company.
Explanation:
A flat structure in organisations are characteristized by few or no levels of management between the top management and employees.
This results in less supervision of employees (that is less control). Staff have a higher control over their jobs and have some freedom on how they execute tasks.
Employees are also more involved in decision making. Although there needs to be integrated or involve a large number of people agreeing.
So decision making is relatively slow.

You are in the business of producing and selling snow shovels, and you need to determine how many shovels should be produced during each of the next four quarters to meet the following demands: 11,000 shovels in quarter 1; 48,000 shovels in quarter 2; 64,000 shovels in quarter 3; and 15,000 shovels in quarter 4.
Due to labor limitations, at most 65,000 shovels can be produced in any one quarter at a cost of $5/shovel. Additionally, a fixed cost of $30,000 must be paid for any quarter in which shovels are produced. You may assume that any shovels produced during a quarter can be used to satisfy demand for that quarter. At the end of the quarter, a holding cost of $0.50 per shovel in inventory is incurred. Currently, you have no shovels in inventory.
Required:
Formulate an integer-linear program to determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of production and inventory costs over the next four quarters.
Answer:
Quarter Production
Q1 11000
Q2 62000
Q3 65000
Q4 0
This will generate lower production and inventory cost as it savesthe fixed cost of 30,000 if we produce in the fourth quarter.
Explanation:
First, we construct the formula for the relevant cost:
Holding Cost: $0.50 per shovel
$0.50 x 2 x (Q2-48,000) + $0.50 x (Q1-11,000) = Holding Cost Q2
$0.50 x 1 x (Q3-64,000) = Holding Cost Q3
First, the restrictions:
P1 P2 P3 P4 are Integer
P1 < 65,000
P2 < 65,000
P3 < 65,000
P4 < 65,000
Then, we have the inventory formulas:
I1 = P1 - S1
I2 = P2 + I1 -S2
I3 = P3 + I2 - S3
I4 = P4 + I3 - S4
The holding cost
H1 = I1 x 0.50
H2 = I2 x 0.50
H3 = I3 x 0.50
H4 = I4 x 0.50
The fixed cost
if P1> 0 then FC1 = 30,000
if P2> 0 then FC2 = 30,000
if P3> 0 then FC3 = 30,000
if P4> 0 then FC4 = 30,000
And last,the total cost:
FC1 + H1 +FC2 + H2 +FC3 + H3 +FC4 + H4 = Total Cost
This is the formula we want to minimize

Janet enjoys eating jelly sandwiches and drinking milk. She is particular about proportions, though: For every jelly sandwich she eats, she must drink exactly one glass of milk, and vice versa. Janet can purchase the jelly for her sandwiches in two jar sizes: 20 ounces and 40 ounces. Janet cares only about the total amount of jelly she has available and not at all about the jar size. In other words, she's just as happy with two 20-ounce jars as she is with one 40-ounce jar.
In this scenario, jelly sandwiches and glasses of soda are:___________
a. perfect complements
b. perfect substitutes
c. neither complements or susitutes)
The correct answer is A. Perfect complements
Explanation:
Janet eats jelly sandwiches and milk together; in this context, jelly and milk are complements because these are consumed together. Indeed, every time Janet consumes jelly she consumes milk. Moreover, these are perfect complements because the demand and consumption of both increases or decreases together proportionally. This is because if Janet eats 2 sandwiches this also duplicates the amount of milk she consumes (two glasses of milk). In the same way, this affects the demand for jelly and milk because if Janet drinks more milk she will need to buy more jelly.
If a particular good or product is consumed togetherly is said to be the perfect counterpart. Economically also the consumer uses products in a fixed proportion like cereal and milk are the perfect complementary example.
The correct answer is:
Option A. perfect complements
This can be explained as:
Jelly and milk are paired as they both are utilised togetherly in a combination.Whenever Janet will eat jelly she will drink milk too. The demand is proportionate to each other as jelly in the sandwich will be eaten whenever she will have milk and vice versa.Therefore, this scenario shows perfect complements.

Sara purchased a life insurance policy as an investment from her neighbor, Angela. Angela, the original policy holder had paid premiums of $12,000 before the sale. Sara paid Angela $16,500 to acquire the life insurance policy. Sara made additional payments of $5,000. When Angela died, Sara collected $50,000. How much of the policy proceeds is taxable to Sara
Answer:
$16,500

She invested = $12,000
Total money spent to acquire the policy = ($16,500 + $5000) = $21,500
Total money invested on policy = $21500 + $12000
Total money invested on policy = $33500
Money that sara got after angela died = $50,000

When a famous painting becomes available for sale, it is often known which museum or collector will be the likely winner. Yet, the auctioneer actively woos representatives of other museums that have no chance of winning to attend anyway.
Suppose a piece of art has recently become available for sale and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the winner paying an amount equal to the second highest bid. Assume that most collectors know that Janet places a value of $125,000 on the art piece and that she values this art piece more than any other collector. Suppose that if no one else shows up, Janet simply bids $125,000/2 = $5,000 and wins the piece of art.

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the_____using______by the_____using_____and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services.
Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.

An increase in the price of a Chinese-
made phone that is popular among
U.S. consumers.
A decrease in the price of a Treewood
Equipment feller buncher, which is a
commercial forestry machine made in
the U.S. but not bought by U.S. consumers.
Answer and Explanation:
The consumer price index refers to an index in which the prescribed market cost of goods & services by the prices years from the base year prices of the prescribed market basket and then it is multiplied by 100.
But the Gross Domestic Inflator would be represented when the all types of prices of goods and services generated domestically
An increase in the price refelected the GDP deflator
And, the decrease in the price of treewood represents CPI
Presented below are four statements which you are to identify as true or false.
1. GAAP is the term used to indicate the whole body of FASB authoritative literature.
2. Any company claiming compliance with GAAP must comply with most standards and interpretations but does not have to follow the disclosure requirements.
3. The primary governmental body that has influence over the FASB is the SEC.
4. The FASB has a government mandate and therefore does not have to follow due process in issuing a standard.
Answer:
1. True.
2. False.
3. True.
4. False.
Explanation:
GAAP is an acronym for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It comprises of the accounting standard, procedures and principles used by public institutions in the United States of America. The GAAP is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
GAAP includes each of the following pronouncements:
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards.Accounting Research Bulletins.Accounting Principles Board Opinions.For external reporting purposes, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) allows companies to use only the traditional format of the income statement.
When accountants prepare and compile financial statements for public firms, it must be in line with United States of America, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Also, the financial accounting standards board (FASB) is a private, non-profit organization saddled with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining standard financial accounting and reporting for general guidance of individuals such as investors, issuers and auditors.
Additionally, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reviews registration statements of bond issuers, investment advisers etc, to ensure they comply with current laws and regulations.
1. True: GAAP is the term used to indicate the whole body of FASB authoritative literature.
2. False: Any company claiming compliance with GAAP must comply with most standards and interpretations but does not have to follow the disclosure requirements. All companies are required to follow the disclosure requirements at all times.
3. True: The primary governmental body that has influence over the FASB is the SEC.
4. False: The FASB has a government mandate and therefore does not have to follow due process in issuing a standard. FASB has to follow due process all the time in issuing standards.
During the ________ phase of the product life cycle, the company incurs considerable costs for educating customers, building widespread dealer distribution, and encouraging demand.
Answer:
Introductory phase
Explanation:
During the Introductory phase of the product life cycle, the company incurs considerable costs for educating customers, building widespread dealer distribution, and encouraging demand. In this phase, the company tries to build brand awareness and a market for the product. Pricing of the product during this time might be low as well.
Consider an economy described by the following equations:
Y=C+I+G
C=120+0.8×(Y−T)
I=500−50×r G=150
T=125
where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at the natural rate of output), GDP would be $2,850.
Identify the equation(s) each of the following statements describes.
a. It is a function of disposable income.
b. It depends on the interest rate.
The marginal propensity to consume in this economy is:____________ .
Suppose the central bank's policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 3%, so r = 3. When the interest rate is 3%, GDP is __________$ .
GDP at an interest rate of 3% is the full-employment level.
a. True
b. False
Assuming no change in monetary policy, (a decrease, an increase) in government purchases by ____ would restore GDP to the full-employment level. (Note: Assume that such change in fiscal policy has no crowding-out effect.) Assuming no change in fiscal policy, (a decrease. an increase) in the interest rate by ___ would restore GDP to the full-employment level.
Answer:
Consumption c is a function of disposable income
Investment I is a function of interest rate
Marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8
If this 3, I = investment
= 500-(3*50)
= 500-150
= 350
We have Y= C+I+G
Y = 120+0.8(Y-125)+350+150
Y = 120+0.8Y-100+350+150
Y-0.8Y = 120-100+350+150
0.2Y = 520
Y = 520/0.2
Y = 2600
GDP and interest rate falls below full employment
If there is no change in monetary policy an increase in government purchases by 50dollars takes gdp back to full employment
If no change in fiscal policy when interest rate decreases by 1.4% God goes back to full employment.
If a Treasury note has a bid price of $975, the quoted bid price in the Wall Street Journal would be
Answer:
the quoted bid price would be 97:16
Explanation:
the quoted ask price will be 97:50
The quoted bid price is the price at which buyers are willing to purchase a security, while the quoted ask is the price at which sellers are willing to sell their securities. There is always a difference between both of them, and it is called the spread.
Masterson, Inc., has 4.1 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $84, and the book value per share is $11. The company also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million, has a coupon rate of 5.1%, and sells for 98% of par. The second issue has a face value of $50 million, has a coupon rate of 5.60%, and sells for 108% of par. The first issue matures in 20 years, the second in 12 years. The most recent dividend was $3.95 and the dividend growth rate is 5 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
The answer is "8.37%".
Explanation:
[tex]\text{MV of equity} = \text{equity price} \times \text{number of outstanding shares}[/tex]
[tex]=84 \times 4100000\\\\=344400000[/tex]
[tex]\text{MV of Bond1}=\text{Par value} \times \text{bonds outstanding} \times \text{age of percentage}[/tex]
[tex]=1000 \times 70000 \times 0.98 \\\\=68600000[/tex]
[tex]\text{MV of Bond2}=\text{Par value} \times \text{bonds outstanding} \times \text{age of percentage}[/tex]
[tex]=1000 \times 50000 \times 1.08 \\\\=54000000[/tex]
[tex]\text{MV of firm} = \text{MV of Equity} + \text{MV of Bond1}+ \text{MV of Bond 2}[/tex]
[tex]=344400000+68600000+54000000\\\\=467000000[/tex]
[tex]\text{Weight of equity W(E)} = \frac{\text{MV of Equity}}{\text{MV of firm}}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{344400000}{467000000}\\\\=0.7375[/tex]
[tex]\text{Weight of debt W(D)}= \frac{\text{MV of Bond}}{\text{MV of firm}}[/tex]

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.
