A company estimates that it can sell 5,000 headphone each week if it prices each set of headphones at $20. However, its weekly number of sales will increase by 1000 units for each $1 decrease in price. At what price is revenue maximum? What is the maximum revenue and how many sets of headphones should the company expect to sell? Write your conclusions in a sentence.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

At what price is revenue maximum?

$13 and $12 per unit (maximum revenue $156,000)

What is the maximum revenue and how many sets of headphones should the company expect to sell?

$156,000

Write your conclusions in a sentence.

When the price is higher than $12 per unit, demand is elastic, which means any decrease in price will result in a larger proportional increase in quantity demanded. This in turn increases total revenue. Below $12 per unit, demand is inelastic, which means that a decrease in price will result in a smaller increase in quantity demanded.

A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market that is producing on a production curve where the marginal product of labor is diminishing also has

Answers

Answer: A. a downward-sloping labor demand curve.

Explanation:

The labor demand curve is plotted with the quantity of labor demanded vs the real wages paid to labor. In a firm that is producing in a market with a diminishing marginal product of labor, the demand curve will be downward sloping to reflect that the more labor that a company has, the less it pays them.

This is because the extra labor is bringing in less additional revenue and so will need to be paid accordingly to reflect that as more labor is hired, the output decreases.  

Quantitative Problem 1: Assume today is December 31, 2017. Barrington Industries expects that its 2018 after-tax operating income [EBIT(1 – T)] will be $450 million and its 2018 depreciation expense will be $65 million. Barrington's 2018 gross capital expenditures are expected to be $110 million and the change in its net operating working capital for 2017 will be $30 million. The firm's free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% annually. Assume that its free cash flow occurs at the end of each year. The firm's weighted average cost of capital is 9%; the market value of the company's debt is $3 billion; and the company has 180 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm has no preferred stock on its balance sheet and has no plans to use it for future capital budgeting projects. Using the free cash flow valuation model, what should be the company's stock price today (December 31, 2017)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per share

Answers

Answer:

$29.630

Explanation:

For computation of stock price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Free cash flow = EBIT (1 - T) + Depreciation - Capital expenditure - Working capital

= $450 million + $65 million - $110 million - $30 million

=  $375 million

Value of firm = Free cash flow ÷ (WACC - Growth)

= $375 million ÷ (9% - 4.5%)

= $375 million ÷ 0.045

= $8,333.33 million

Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of debt

= $8,333.33 million - $3,000 million

= $5,333.33 million

Stock price = Value of equity ÷ Outstanding shares

= $5,333.33 million ÷ 180 million

= $29.630

What's the present value of $4,500 discounted back 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 4.5%, compounded semiannually?

Answers

Answer:

The present value = $3,602.30

Explanation:

To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating the future value for an amount invested, compounded semiannually at a certain interest rate. This is done as follows:

[tex]FV\ =\ PV(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n\times t)}\\[/tex]

where:

FV = Future value = $4,500

PV = Present value = ??

r = interest rate = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

n = number of compunding period per year = semiannually = 2

t = time = 5

[tex]4,500\ =\ PV(1+\frac{0.045}{2})^{(2\times 5)}\\\\4,500 = PV( 1+0.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV(1.0225)^{10}\\4,500 = PV (1.249203)\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 1.249203\ and\ making\ PV\ the\ subject\ of\ the\ formula\\\PV = \frac{4,500}{1.249203} \\PV= 3,602.297[/tex]

Therefore, the present value = $3,602.30

Ben and Jerry were shareholders of water ice, inc., an s corporation. On january 1, year 1, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares. Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 2011. The corporation reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 2011. How much of the loss is allocated to Joe?
A. $12,500.
B. $10,000.
C. $20,000.
D. $15,068.

Answers

Answer:

Option D. $15,068

Explanation:

The share of Ben will 40% of the loss if he does not sells the shares which is:

Ben's Share of Loss  = $50,000 * 40% = $20,000

But Ben sold his 40% to Joe on March 31, 2011. This means 90/365 days of the year, Ben owned the shares. Hence:

Ben's share of loss = $20,000 * 90/ 365 = $4,931.5

The remainder is Joe's share of loss which is:

Joe's Share of Loss =  $20,000 - $4,931.5 = $15,068

Hence the option D is correct.

If a bank that faces a 10% reserve ratio received a deposit of $50,000 and makes a loan to a customer for $5,000, what is the consequence if the bank then deposits the rest of the funds at the Federal Reserve?

Answers

Answer:

Excess reserve increases by $40,000

Required reserve increases by $5,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the reserve, we need to multiply the Deposit received by a required reserve ratio.

DATA

Reserve ratio = 10%

Deposit received = $50,000

Loan to customer = $5,000

Solution

Reserve =  Deposit x Required reserve ratio

Reserve = $50,000 x 10%

Reserve = $5,000

After providing a $5,000 loan to the customer and keeping $5,000 as a reserve remaining $40,000 would be deposited in the Federal Reserve.

Suppose that a museum of modern art discovers the following: adults are willing to pay $20 per ticket to see a Monet exhibit. Students are willing to pay less; 60% of students have WTP of $15, and 40% are willing to pay up to $10. There are no marginal costs to allowing more viewers into the museum. The museum manager decides to set the regular price at $20, and offer a student discount. What discount should it offer?

Answers

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

From the question we have here

If adults would pay 20$

Out of a 100% students:

60% would pay 15

40% would pay 10

If regular price = 20$

We are required to find discount

Discount = (20 - 10)/20 x 100

Discount = 0.5 x 100

Discount = 50%

The museum should offer 50percent discount.

A company decides not to pay dividends to stockholders, but the company is requested to pay interest to debt holders. What does this mean about the performance of the company?

Answers

Answer: Poor Performance

Explanation:

Options are not available but the foremost reason why a company would decline to pay dividends but still be requested to pay interest to debt holders is that they performed poorly.

Dividends are based on how much net income the company got for the period and so if a company performs poorly, they should not pay out dividends as it will put them in financial difficulty.

Interest payments however have to be paid regardless of if the company made a profit or not. So even if the company performed poorly, they would still be requested to pay interest to debt holders.

On February 1, 2020, Pat Weaver Inc. (PWI) issued 9%, $1,200,000 bonds for $1,500,000. PWI retired all of these bonds on January 1, 2021, at 105. Unamortized bond premium on that date was $126,000. How much gain or loss should be recognized on this bond retirement

Answers

Answer: Gain on bond retirement = $66,000

Explanation:

A gain on retirement of bonds occurs when a bond issuer or a corporation  buys back bonds which it previously sold for an amount  less than the book  value of the particular liability while a loss would be recognized if the bought back bonds are more than the amount of the book value of the liability.

Book value / Carrying value =  $1,200,000 + $126,000 =$1,326,000

paid at redemption = $1,200,000 x 105%= $1, 260,000

Gain on bond retirement = Book/ Carrying value -Amount paid at redemption

= $1,326,000 - $1, 260,000 = $66,000

Tri-Coat Paints has a current market value of $41 per share with earnings of $3.64. What is the present value of its growth opportunities (PVGO) if the required return is 9%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

$0.56

Explanation:

Tri-coat paints has a current market value of $41 per share

They also have an earning of $3.64

The required return is 9%

= 9/100

= 0.09

Therefore, the present value of its growth opportunities can be calculated as follows

= $41-($3.64/0.09)

= $41-40.44

= $0.56

Hence the present value of its growth opportunities is $0.56

what is the price of a 5 year bond that has a coupon rate of 7% with each coupon paid semi annually. The current market rate is 6%. Assume a par value of 1000

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $1,042.65

Explanation:

Coupon payment being done semiannually means it is paid twice in a year

N(Number of periods) = 10 periods ( 5 years x 2)

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 3 percent( 6 percent ÷ 2)

PV(present value or market price) = ?

PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 10; I/Y = 3; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= -1,042.65

Therefore, the market price of the bond is $1,042.65

c. Express the pocket calculator cost in a cost formula.

Answers

Answer:

Variable cost per unit = 7.15

Difference in profit = $2,325

Cost formula : Y =    3.1 + 7.15X

Explanation:

Variable cost per calculator =Full cost - Fixed cost per unit

Full cost= $10.25

Fixed cost per unit = Total fixed costs / Number of units

                          = $29,450/9,500 units= 3.1

Variable cost per calculator = $10.25 -  3.1  = 7.15

Difference in profit = OAR (fixed cost per unit)× change in inventory

                             = 3.1 × 750 = $2,325

The absorption costing profit would be higher if there is an increase in increase at the end of the period and vice versa. Hence , an increase in inventory by  750 units would mean that absorption costing profit is higher by $2,325

Cost of calculator

Y = a +bx

Y =    3.1 + 7.15X

Y- total cost per unit

Fixed cost per unit = 3.1

Variable cost per unit = 7.15

Variable cost per unit = 7.15

Difference in profit = $2,325

Cost formula : Y =    3.1 + 7.15X

b. $140,000.
c. $130,000.
d. $100,000.

Answers

Answer:

$140,000

Explanation:

Sam corporation purchased a plot of land for $100,000

The cost to raze a building on the property is $50,000

Sam received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials

$800,000 was spent by Sam to build a new plant in the site

The excavation costs was $30,000

Therefore, the amount that Samm should capitalize in its land account can be calculated as follows

= cost of land+ cost to raze a building on the property - sale of scrape materials

= $100,000 + $50,000 - $10,000

= $150,000-$10,000

= $140,000

Hence Samm should capitalize $140,000 in its land account.

A project has an initial cost of $60,000, expected net cash inflows of $14,000 per year for 7 years, and a cost of capital of 13%. What is the project's discounted payback period

Answers

Answer:

Discounted payback period = 6.68 years

Explanation:

Year Cash inflow$   Discounted cash     Cumulative discounted

                                          inflow$                      cash inflow$

1          14,000                    12,389                            12,389

2         14,000                    10,964                             23,353

3         14,000                     9,703                              33,056  

4         14,000                     8,586                              41,643    

5         14,000                     7,599                              49,241    

6         14,000                      6,724                             55,966    

7         14,000                      5,951                              61,917

Discounted cash inflow is calculated by discounting cash inflow at 13%. For example, discounted cash-flow in year 1 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^1 = 12,389.

Similarly, discounted cash-flow in year 2 = 14,000 / (1+13%)^2 = 10,964. And so on.

Cumulative cash-flows are sum of all cashflows till that year. For example, year 2 cumulative cashflow = 12,389 + 10,964 = 23,353.

Similarly, year 3 cumulative cash-flow = 23,353 + 9,703 = 33,056.

This cumulative cash-flow crosses 60,000 in year 7, so discounted payback period = 6 + (60,000-55,966) / 5,951

Discounted payback period = 6.68 years

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $1.22  million

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:

Cost of capital -discount rate -

WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd

After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56

WACC = (0.71×3.56 %)  + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %

PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7

PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32

Initial cost = 9.1 million

NPV = 10.32  - 9.1 =  1.22 million

NPV = $1.22  million

(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Portfolio beta = 1.1075

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks betas' that form up the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we use the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in portfolio

Portfolio beta = 0.30 * 0.95  +  0.25 * 1.12  +  0.25 * 1.13  +  0.20 * 1.30

The common stock of Flavorful Teas has an expected return of 19.65 percent. The return on the market is 14.5 percent and the risk-free rate of return is 4.2 percent. What is the beta of this stock?

Answers

Answer:

beta= 1.5

Explanation:

The common stock of flavorful tea has an expected return of 19.65%

The return on the market is 14.5%

19.65%= 4.2% + 14.5beta-4.2beta

19.65%= 4.2% + 10.3beta

19.65%-4.2%= 10.3beta

15.45%= 10.3beta

beta= 15.45/10.3

beta= 1.5

Hence the beta of this stock is 1.5
