Answers
Answer:
a. Variable costs = $9.60 and Fixed Costs = $7,840
b. 1,225 haircuts and $19,600
c. See attachment
d. $2,400
Explanation:
Variable Costs per haircut Calculations
Barber supplies $0.35
Utilities $0.10
Commission $9.15
Total Variable Costs per haircut $9.60
Total Monthly Fixed Costs Calculation
Base Salary (1,440 × 4 + 520) $6,280
Advertising $240
Rent $1,100
Utilities $185
Magazines $35
Total Monthly Fixed Costs $7,840
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable Cost per unit
= $16.00 - $9.60
= $6.40
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Selling Price
= $6.40 ÷ $16.00
= 0.40
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $7,840 ÷ $6.40
= 1,225 haircuts
Break-even point (dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $7,840 ÷ 0.40
= $19,600
Net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month [calculation]
Contribution (1,600 × $6.40) $10,240
Less Fixed Costs ($7,840)
Net Income/(loss) $2,400

Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders
Remember, an agency relationship can degenerate into an agency conflict when an agent acts in a manner that is not in the best interest of his or her principal. In large corporations, these conflicts most frequently involve the enrichment of the firm’s executives or managers (in the form of money and perquisites or power and prestige) at the expense of the company’s shareholders. This usurping and reallocation of shareholder wealth is most likely to occur when shareholders do not have sufficient information about the decisions and actions being made by the firm’s management.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
William and Abigail equally own and manage A New Beginning (ANB), a store that sells preowned clothing and furniture. William is responsible for ANB’s back-office activities, and Abigail staffs the store and makes deliveries to customers. Both have equal decision-making authority and, under the terms of their partnership agreement, both are prohibited from making personal purchases using company funds without prior approval of the other partner. William, without Abigail’s knowledge, used the company’s bank account recently to purchase a new sports car. William has acknowledged that the car will not be used to support the business.
Is this a potential agency conflict between William and Abigail?
No; William and Abigail are both authorized to spend ANB’s money, so no conflict of interest can occur.
No; William and Abigail co-own and co-manage ANB and have a partnership agreement that makes them equal, so an agency conflict cannot exist.
Yes; William is misappropriating some of Abigail’s wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB’s funds.
Yes; it should have been Abigail who purchased the car.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
Five years ago, Caesar created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Raleigh. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Raleigh. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Caesar’s family members, and selected outsiders. Caesar is TGZ’s chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder.
At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Caesar and TGZ’s management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group’s proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ’s value and riskiness.
Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ’s management and the small group of opposing shareholders?
No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ’s management—including Caesar as TGZ’s chairman and CEO and the firm’s shareholders—there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders’ wealth has occurred.
No; Caesar was the original owner of TGZ, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm’s current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict.
Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm’s managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict.
Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers’ objectives with the firm’s shareholder wealth?
Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date.
Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stock, direct shareholder intervention would be more or less likely to motivate the firm’s management.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Congress passed legislation making it more difficult for outside investors to stage hostile takeovers. This legislation likely reduced or increased conflicts between managers and stockholders.
Answers
Answer:
1. Yes; William is misappropriating some of Abigail’s wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB’s funds.
William is enriching himself at the expense of Abigail so indeed an Agency conflict exists.
2. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ’s management—including Caesar as TGZ’s chairman and CEO and the firm’s shareholders—there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders’ wealth has occurred.
An agency conflict arises only when the agent begins to act in a way that is not in the best interest of their principal and enriches themselves at the expense of their principal. This has not happened here so there is no agency conflict.
3. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
This way the manager will have an incentive to keep working for the benefit of the shareholders overtime because it would make them well off as well.
4. MORE LIKELY
When Institutional ownership is available like Pensions and Mutual funds, they will be able to put more pressure on management as they will typically own a larger share of shares while at the same time having the expertise required to influence management.
5. INCREASED CONFLICT.
One incentive that can be used to keep management in check is the risk of Hostile Takeovers and the new management can decide to fire the management for poor performance or selfish behavior. If Congress reduces the chances of hostile takeovers, management will be more likely to engage in agency conflicts.
Rodeo, Inc. has a contribution margin ratio of 30%. This month, profit was $12,300 and fixed costs were $15,600. How much was Laredo's sales revenue
Answers
Answer:
Sales= $93,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.30
Profit= $12,300
Fixed costs= $15,600
First, we need to determine the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 12,300 + 15,600
Total contribtuion margin= $27,900
Now, to calculate the sales revenue, we need to use the following formula:
Sales= total contribution margin / Contribution margin ratio
Sales= 27,900/0.3
Sales= $93,000

The rate of return on the common stock of Flowers by Flo is expected to be 14 percent in a boom economy, 8 percent in a normal economy, and only 2 percent in a recessionary economy. The probabilities of these economic states are 20 percent for a boom, 70 percent for a normal economy, and 10 percent for a recession. What is the variance of the returns
Answers
Answer:
the variance is 0.001044
Explanation:
The computation of the variance of the returns is shown below:
But before that expected return to be determined
E(r) = Sum of (probabilities × expected return)
= 0.20 × .14 + 0.70 × 0.08 + 0.10 × 0.02
= 0.086
Now
variance = Sum of (individual return - mean return)^2
= 0.20 × (0.14 -0.086)^2 + 0.7 × (0.08 - 0.086)^2 + 0.10 × (0.02 - 0.086)^2
= 0.001044
hence the variance is 0.001044
The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep:
sleep = β0 + β1totwrk + β2educ + β3age + u,
where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise.)
(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of β1?
(ii) What signs do you think β2 and β3 will have?
(iii) Using the data in SLEEP75.RAW, the estimated equation is
= 3,638.25 - .148 totwrk - 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R2 = .113.
If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff?
(iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ.
(v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?
Use the data in SLEEP75.RAW from Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study whether there is a tradeoff between the time spent sleeping per week and the time spent in paid work. We could use either variable as the dependent variable. For concreteness, estimate the model
sleep =β0+ β1totwrk+u, where sleep is minutes spent sleeping at night per week and totwrk is total minutes worked during the week.
(i) Report your results in equation form along with the number of observations and R2. What does the intercept in this equation mean?
(ii) If totwrk increases by 2 hours, by how much is sleep estimated to fall? Do you find this to be a large effect?
Answers
Answer:
1. I²1 will have a negative sign
This is because the more work the adults do, the less sleep they will utilize.
2. The sign of i²2 is likely to be negative. This is because due to the demands placed on them, more educated people are likely to sleep less. Also, general as age increases some people sleep less. While some others sleep more as it increases. So i²3 is a bit complicated to judge.
3. Using the data
^sleep = 3638.24-0.148toteork-11.13educ + 2.20age
N = 706 r² = 0.113
We will convert 5 hours to minutes = 60x5 = 300
Coefficient of totwork = 0.148
O.148x300 = 44.4 minutes
In a week approximately 45 minutes of less sleep is not too much a change.
4. We are to discuss the sign and magnitude of estimated education
More education indicates less sleeping time. This is obvious given the sign of the variable educ. It is negative, but it's effect is quite small. Magnitude is -11.13.
So as education increases by 1 year, expected sleeping time decreases by 11.13 minutes weekly.
5. R² is 0.113. the 3 predictor variables gives us 11.3% of total variations in sleep and rest. 88.7% is unexplained.
Some factors that might also affect it are general health, number and age of children are factors that could correlate with totwork

Jeremy wants to avoid conflict with his new coworkers. He should Treat them all with respect. Hence, option B is correct.
What is coworkers?The persons who work at the same job as you are often considered to be your coworkers. Yet, the term "coworker" is most typically used to describe a fellow employee with whom you frequently interact because of your shared position or level of power or responsibility.
Today, coworker is more frequently used when referring to individuals who share a workspace or tasks, whereas colleague is more frequently used when referring to individuals who work in the same field but not for the same organization.
The simplest response to the debate over the terms "coworker" and "coworker" is that both are acceptable nouns to refer to someone who works beside you.
Thus, option B is correct.

HINTS:it was stated that Nell should receive $1200 monthly for Bobby's child support as well as alimony, out of this $900 goes for child support and $300 for alimony, provided that all the stated Condition stated in the question is followed duely.
All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.
A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions.
B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information.
C. Shifting: This is the bias involved in shifting perspectives too rapidly, thereby forgoing objectivity and sound reasoning.
D. Halo effect: This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related.
E. Overconfidence bias: This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.

Air conditioning for a college dormitory will cost $2.1 million to install and $170,000 per year to operate at current prices. The system should last 19 years. The real cost of capital is 9%, and the college pays no taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost
Answers
Answer:
$404,634
Explanation:
the formula that we can use to calculate equivalent annual costs is:
EAC = asset price x {discount rate / [1 - (1 + discount rate)⁻ⁿ]} + annual maintenance costs
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000 = $234,634 + $170,000 = $404,634
EAC is basically the cost of using an asset during its lifetime. We are determining the cost per year, assuming that they are all equal.
Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answers
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Missing question: The ability to declare bankruptcy increased the disagreement value of the city during negotiation with the unions
Alternatives available to an agreement determine the terms of an agreement. If bankruptcy is been declared in a situation where the cities can manipulate and evade much of their pension obligations owed to unions, such scenarios gives the city a much better alternative, if the favorable agreement with the city's unions and retirees emerge.

Answers
Answer: A. They increase cash provided by operating activities,
Explanation:
There is an error in the question. The Accounts Receivable are listed as Accounts Payable. Accounts receivable figures are $6,000 for 2018 and $11,000 for 2017.
The Accounts Receivable has therefore reduced in value from 2017 to 2018 by;
= 11,000 - 6,000
= $5,000
Seeing as Receivables have decreased, this means that some of those owing the business have paid their debt and so are no longer Accounts Receivable.
This payment of debt will increase the cash provided by operating activities.

A market has four individuals, each considering buying a grill. Assume that grills come in only one size and model. Martina considers herself a grill-master, and finds a grill a necessity, so she is willing to pay $400 for a grill. Javier is a meat-lover, honing his grilling skills, and is willing to pay $350 for a grill. Kamal wants to impress his friends with his vegetable grilling skills and is willing to pay $320 for a grill. Lina loves grilled shrimp and thinks it might be cheaper in the long run if she grills her own shrimp instead of eating out at a restaurant, so she is willing to pay $200 for a grill. If the market price ofgrills increases from $300 to $320, given the scenario described:
a. Collin is the only consumer who would be affected in terms of surplus.
b. Daniel drops out of the market.
c. Collin drops out of the market.
d. Collin loses any surplus he had.
Answers
Answer: d. Kamal loses any surplus he had.
Explanation:
The Consumer Surplus is defined as the difference between what a customer is willing to pay for a good minus the price of the good/ the price they pay.
Kamal was willing to pay $320 and the price was initially $300 which meant that he had a surplus of $20. The price has now increased to $320 which is the amount he is willing to pay so there is no longer a surplus. Kamal loses any surplus he had.
