Suppose a company owns a warehouse that costs $500,000 and depreciates at $10,000 per year. If the interest rate is 5%, what is the implicit rental price of the warehouse
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
Implicit rental price = Interest payment + Depreciation
Interest payment = 5% * 500,000
= $25,000
Implicit rental price is therefore:
= 25,000 + 10,000
= $35,000
Kenner Company is considering two projects. Project A Project B Initial investment $85,000 $24,000 Annual cash flows $20,676 $ 6,011 Life of the project 6 years 5 years Depreciation per year $14,167 $ 4,800 Suppose that Kenner Company requires a minimum rate of return of 8%. Which project is better in terms of net present value
Answer: Project A is better as it has a higher NPV of $76,075.70
Explanation:
Annual cashflow of Project A = Annual cashflow + Depreciation
= 20,676 + 14,167
= $34,843
Project B cashflow = 6,011 + 4,800
= $10,811
As these are constant amounts, they are to be considered annuities.
Find the present value of these annuities and deduct the initial investment from them for the NPV.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, number of years
Project A NPV = (34,843 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, 6 periods) - 85,000
= (34,843 * 4.6229) - 85,000
= $76,075.70
Project B NPV = (10,811 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8%, 5 periods) - 24,000
= (10,811 * 3.9927) - 24,000
= $19,165.08
Project A is better as it has a higher NPV of $76,05.70

If a breakthrough in battery technology enables cell phone manufacturers to construct phones with the same battery life for less money, then in the cell phone market, equilibrium price______and equilibrium quantity______.
Answer:
decreases; increases.
Explanation:
Technology can be defined as a branch of knowledge which typically involves the process of applying, creating and managing practical or scientific knowledge to solve problems and improve human life. Technologies are applied to many fields in the world such as medicine, information technology, cybersecurity, engineering, environmental, etc.
Generally, technology has impacted the world significantly and positively as it has helped to automate processes, increased efficiency and level of output with little or no human effort.
Assuming a breakthrough in battery technology fosters the growth and development of cell phone manufacturers.
In the cell phone market, equilibrium price would decrease while there would be a significant increase in equilibrium quantity because they will be able to construct phones with the same battery life for a less amount of money.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.

Nick’s Novelties, Inc., is considering the purchase of new electronic games to place in its amusement houses. The games would cost a total of $475,000, have a fifteen-year useful life, and have a total salvage value of $47,500. The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows: Revenues $ 240,000 Less operating expenses: Commissions to amusement houses $ 70,000 Insurance 45,000 Depreciation 28,500 Maintenance 30,000 173,500 Net operating income $ 66,500 Required: 1a. Compute the payback period associated with the new electronic games. 1b. Assume that Nick’s Novelties, Inc., will not purchase new games unless they provide a payback period of five years or less. Would the company purchase the new games?
Answer:
a. 5 years
b. Yes they will because the payback period is 5 years.
Explanation:
a. Payback period
First calculate the annual cash inflow:
= Net income + Depreciation
= 66,500 + 28,500
= $95,000
The investment cost was $475,000
Payback period = Investment cost / Annual cash inflow
= 475,000 / 95,000
= 5 years
b. The company will purchase the games because they have a payback period of 5 years.
Dallas Products is a division of a major corporation. The following data are for the most recent year of operations: Sales $ 37,880,000 Net operating income $ 3,508,960 Average operating assets $ 9,400,000 The company's minimum required rate of return 14 % The division's margin used to compute ROI is closest to:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, margin is computed as;
Margin = Net operating income / Sales
Sales = $37,880,000
Net operating income = $3,508,960
Then,
Margin = $3,508,960 / $37,880,000
Margin = 9.26%
Therefore, the division's margin used to compute ROI is closest to 9.26% approximately
suppose the following two events occur in the domestic market for radiologists: a. some hospitals are outsourcing some radiology services such as reading x-rays. b. some medical schools have closed down their radiology departments as fewer students enroll in this field. what is likely to happen to the equilibrium wage and quantity of radiologists following these two events?
Answer:
The equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
What is likely to happen to the equilibrium wage and quantity of radiologists following these twoevents?
A) The equilibrium wage and the equilibrium quantity of radiologists fall.
B) The equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.
C) The equilibrium wage falls and the effect on equilibrium quantity of radiologists isindeterminate.D
) The equilibrium wage and the equilibrium quantity of radiologists rise
As a result of event A, there would be a decrease in the demand for radiologists. As a result, there would be a leftward shift of the demand curve for radiologist. This would lead to a reduction in equilibrium price and quantity
As a result of event B, there would be a decrease in the supply radiologists. As a result, there would be a leftward shift of the supply curve of radiologist. This would lead to a reduction in equilibrium quantity and a rise in equilibrium price.
Taking these two effects together, the equilibrium quantity falls and the effect on the equilibrium wage of radiologists is indeterminate.
A company designs a training program for underperforming employees. They enroll in the program the employees who received the worst 10% of performance evaluations in a given year. They find that very few of the employees who go through the program are in the bottom 10% of performance evaluations the next year. What can they conclude about their new program
Answer:
They can conclude that the program was a success
Explanation:
They can conclude that the program was a success. The main goal of the program is to increase the performance of the employees that were performing the worst in the company. By choosing the bottom 10% of the performance evaluation, they make sure that they are getting the worst of the worst in the company. Therefore, if after the program, the subjects are no longer in the bottom 10% then this means that they have drastically increased their performance and have even passed those that were in a much higher performance ranking than them in the previous year. This means that the program exceeded its goal and can be marked as successful.

An organization that meets only minimum legal requirements in its commitments two groups and individuals in at social environment has taken a to social responsibility
Answer:
defensive stance
Explanation:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be defined as a strategic management concept which typically involves socially contributing to the growth and development of the people, community and the world at large. Thus, it's an organization's obligation to act in a manner that benefits and adds significant value to the society, usually it has its business operations.
Some examples of CSR programs are building of roads, provision of electricity, water supply, establishing health care centers, awarding scholarships etc.
In addition to making profits and maximizing shareholders, organizations are required to lessen negative environmental impact or degradation and provide social amenities such as pipe-borne water, electricity, roads, etc.
According to Carroll, the four (4) main levels of an organization's pyramid of corporate social responsibility are;
I. Legal
II. Economic.
III. Philanthropic.
IV. Ethical.
However, an organization has taken a defensive stance to social responsibility when it decide to meet only minimum legal requirements in its commitments to individuals and groups in a social environment.
On the other hand, a proactive stance can be defined as voluntary business practices adopted by an organization or business firm beyond the standard regulatory practice, so as to actively enhance and facilitate growth and development in a society.
Your first morning in your new office, you reflect on what type of manager and leader you hope to be. Which of the following best reflects what you believe about employees and how they can best be led?
a. Employees are more loyal and productive if they feel that their leader is admirable, caring, and ethical.
b. Employees’ behavior can be shaped and motivated, not only by rewarding good behavior but also by penalizing bad behavior.
c. Employees need to be discouraged from bad behavior.
d. They work harder when they know that failure has consequences.
Answer:
a. Employees are more loyal and productive if they feel that their leader is admirable, caring, and ethical.
Explanation:
Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her. Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, legitimate power, coercive power, etc.
Generally, leaders use their powers to get other people to follow them. Some forms of power result from a formalized position in the organization while others are derived from personal characteristics or knowledge.
Basically, when a leader possesses and favors referent power (strong interpersonal relationship skills with subordinates), he or she would have a strong and productive working relationship with his subordinates (employees) because it encourages loyalty.
Hence, employees are more loyal and productive if they feel that their leader is admirable, caring, and ethical.
(Select all that apply) Maria is researching social media usage in her company for a marketing meeting later in the month. What should she consider as she chooses sources to read and/or include
Answer:
Hello,
this question above appears to be missing options from which one is to select from. In the absence of those, an alternative approach would suffice.
When considering sources for research, Maria should take she must consider sources that meet the following requirements:
DepthObjectivityCurrency of SourceAuthorityPurposeExplanation:
Depth: A source with just a simple cursory overview may not suffice. It is pertinent to elect a source that treats the subject matter in sufficient depth and which uses data to support its position on the topic she is researching Objectivity: If any source takes a biased position on the topic Maria is researching, then it is not a good source. Maria wants to ensure that the author of the source has not taken a position that does not have a balanced view. If any source is not properly cited it should not count.The currency of source: Simple logic requires that a source that is more up-to-date should be preferred above one that is dated. The rule of thumb requires that where possible, sources cited should not be older than 3 years.Authoritative: The more qualified an Author is in the field under consideration, the more reputable the company it works for, the more authoritative that source is considered to bePurpose: Sometimes a text may contain several sub-topics which build up to buttress its primary purpose. Sometimes, these sub-topics may deviate slightly from the main topic. To cite from the sub-topics because it aligns with her work would be a mistake on Maria's part. For example, if she cites from a research proposal whose main topic is Photo Journalism in the Wild West, but which references or the importance of social media in one of its paragraphs, that citation would not be considered adequate because the purpose of the main body is not specific to her work.Cheers

This morning you purchased one share of stock for $14. The stock pays $.20 per share each quarter as a dividend. What must the stock price be one year from now if you want to earn a total return of 12 percent for the year
Answer:
$14.88
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price is given below:
A total return of 12% means that
= 0.12 × 14
= $1.68 in a year.
Now
The total dividend payments for 4 quarters is
= 0.2 × 4
= $0.8.
Now the price of the stock should increase by
= 1.68 - 0.8
= 0.88
So the stock price one year from now is
= 14 + 0.88
= $14.88

Westside Plumbing and Heating Company is offered a contract for$100,000 to provide plumbing for a new building. The labor and equip-ment costs are calculated to be $60,000 for fulfilling the contract. West-side has materials in its inventory to complete the job. The raw ma-terials initially cost the firm $50,000; however the material prices havedeclined in the interim and now cost only $37,500. Thus if thefirmchose not to accept the contract and sells the materials, they wouldincur a loss of $12,500. Material prices are not expected to go up inthe future. Should Westside accept the contract. Explain your answer.
Answer:
Westside Plumbing and Heating Company
Westside should accept the contract.
By accepting the contract at the price of $100,000, Westside incurs a total cost of $97,500 and makes a little profit of $2,500 ($100,000 - $97,500). The contract enables Westside to utilize the materials that it has in inventory instead of allowing it to deteriorate further in value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Contract price = $100,000
Labor and equipment costs = $60,000
Original cost of materials = $50,000
Materials market price = $37,500
Total costs to be incurred = $97,500 ($60,000 + $37,500)
Profit to be earned = $2,500 ($100,000 - $97,500)
A risky fund has an expected return of 17% and standard deviation of 25%. The risk-free rate is 9%. The expected return of the optimal complete portfolio is 12%. The Sharpe ratio of the optimal complete portfolio is:
Answer:
