Answer:
According to the kinked demand curve theory, this behavior creates a demand curve that is more elastic at prices above the cartel price and more inelastic at prices below the cartel price.
Explanation:
Oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can keep the from from having significant influence in the same specialization they indulge in.
The kinked demand curve theory means that the response to a price increase is less than the response to a price decrease of the Olipolist in the market
A firm has current assets of $36,000, cash of $5,000, current liabilities of $20,000, total assets of $80,000 and total liabilities of $45,000. What is its net working capital?
a. $16,000
b. $28,000
c. $35,000
d. $44,000
Answer:
Option A, $16000, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The current assets = $36000
Cash = $5000
Current liabilities = $20000
Total assets = $80000
Total liabilities = $45000
Use the below formula to find the net working capial.
Net working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities
Net working capital = 36000 – 20000
Net working capital = 16000
Therefore, option A, $16000 is correct.
Sheffield Corp. determines that 53000 pounds of direct materials are needed for production in July. There are 3100 pounds of direct materials on hand at July 1 and the desired ending inventory is 2700 pounds. If the cost per unit of direct materials is $3, what is the budgeted total cost of direct materials purchases
Answer:
Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800
Explanation:
Raw material purchase budget is determined by adjusting the raw material usage budget for opening and closing inventory of materials.
Purchase budget = usage budgeted + closing inventory - Opening inventory
Material purchase budget = 53,000 + 2,700 - 3,100= 52,600 pounds
Note the closing inventory represents the stock of materials needed to be kept, hence it will increase the purchase budget. So we added.
On the other hand hands, the opening inventory represented what already existed , hence we subtracted it as it will reduce what will be required.
Material purchase budget ($) = purchase budget in quantity × standard price per quantity
Material purchase budget = 52,600 × $3 = $ 157,800
Budgeted total cost of Direct Material purchases ($) =$ 157,800
In a concentrated network configuration:
a. firms perform a supply chain activity in one location and serve foreign locations from it
b. firms allow each site on the network to operate with full autonomy
c. firms tightly link operations and supply chain activities to one another
d. firms perform a supply chain activity in various countries
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Here, in this question, we are to select which of the options is best.
The correct answer to this question is that in a concentrated network configuration, firms allow each site on the network to operate with full autonomy.
What this means is that each site in the network operate independently of the other sites.
A site is thus an autonomous entity but still part of the concentrated network

Assume BGL Enterprises increases its operating efficiency by lowering its costs while holding its sales constant. As a result, given all else constant, the: A. return on assets will decrease.
B. profit margin will decline.
C. equity multiplier will decrease.
D. return on equity will increase.
E. price-earnings ratio will increase.
Answer:
Question 1:
required investment $245,000
depreciation expense per year = ($245,00 - $23,200) / 5 = $44,360
you will also require $15,000 in working capital
annual cash costs = $68,500
what is the minimum amount of cash sales for accepting the project:
net cash flow₁ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14 = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72
net cash flow₂ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14² = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14² = 0.5002SR - $22,313.79
net cash flow₃ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14³ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14³ = 0.4387SR - $19,573.50
net cash flow₄ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14⁴ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14⁴ = 0.3849SR - $17,169.74
net cash flow₅ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360 + $15,000} / 1.14⁵ = (0.65SR - $13,999) / 1.14⁵ = 0.3376SR - $7,270.64
NPV = -initial outlay + cash flows
NPV = 0
initial outlay = cash flows
$260,000 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72 + 0.5002SR - $22,313.79 + 0.4387SR - $19,573.50 + 0.3849SR - $17,169.74 + 0.3376SR - $7,270.64
$260,000 = 2.2316SR - $91,765.39
$351,765.39 = 2.2316SR
sales revenue = $351,765.39 / 2.2316 = $157,629.23
the closest answer is B = $155,119, but its NPV will be negative.
so we have to select C = $162,515.75 that results in an NPV = $10,887.
Question 2:
The correct answer is D. return on equity will increase.

Steelcase Inc. (SCS) is one of the largest manufacturers of office furniture in the United States. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, it assembles filing cabinets in an Assembly Department. Assume the following information for the Assembly Department: Direct labor per filing cabinet 18 minutes Supervisor salaries $250,000 per month Depreciation $18,500 per month Direct labor rate $28 per hourRequired:Prepare a flexible budget for 70,000, 80,000, and 90,000 filing cabinets for the month ending February 28 in the Assembly Department.
Answer:
Total department cost of 70,000 units = $856,500
Total department cost of 80,000 units = $940,000
Total department cost of 90,000 units = $1,024,500
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the flexible budget.
A flexible budget is a budget that changes, flexes or adjusts as the volume, activity or unit of production changes.
For this question, the direct labor cost for each unit can be calculated as follows:
Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes = 18
Number of minutes in one hour = 60
Direct labor rate per minute = Direct labor rate per hour / Number minutes in one hour = $28 / 60 = $0.466666666666667
Direct labor cost per filing cabinet = Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes * Direct labor rate per minute = 18 * $0.466666666666667 = $8.40
Direct labor cost of a particular units of production = Direct labor cost per filing cabinet * Number of units of production ................... (1)
Using equation (1), the Direct labor cost of different units of production used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:
Direct labor cost of 70,000 units = $8.40 * 70,000 = $588,000
Direct labor cost of 80,000 units = $8.40 * 80,000 = $672,000
Direct labor cost of 90,000 units = $8.40 * 90,000 = $756,000

The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually: Select one: a. The competitive pressures that stem from ready availability b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage c. The competitive pressures associated with the potential entry of new competitors d. The bargaining power and leverage that large customers are able to exercise
Answer:
b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage.
Explanation:
The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.
The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:
1. The bargaining power of suppliers.
2. The bargaining power of customers.
3. Threat posed by substitute products.
4. Threats posed by new entrants.
5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.
The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually the competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage. When the amount of competitors (sellers), as well as the quantity of goods and services they provide are large, the lesser their competitive strengths or advantage in the market because the customers have a large pool of finished goods and services to choose from and vice-versa.
Consider a 10 year bond with a face value of $1000 that has a coupon rate of 5.3%, with semiannual payments. What is the coupon payment for this bond?
Answer:
$26.5
Explanation:
the question says that the bond has a face value equal to 1000 dollars
coupon rate = 5.3%
and that the bond pays semiannually. semiannually means that it pays after 6 months.
semi annual coupon payment formula is given by = coupon rate/2 multiplied by face value
= 5.3%/2 multiplied by 1000
= 0.0265 x 1000
= $26.5
therefore from this calculation, the coupon payment on the bond is $26.5 dollars in every six months or semiannually.

Use your own language to explain that short run supply curve by a price-taking firm is the positively-sloped portion of the short-run marginal cost curve.
Answer:
See the answer and explanation below
Explanation:
A price-taking firm is a firm in a perfectly competitive market where all firms are price takers. That is, no firm in a perfectly competitive can influence the price as only the market determines the price.
The short run supply curve for a price-taking firm refers to the short marginal cost (SMC) curve at and above the shutdown point.
Note: See the attached graph for the shut run supply curve. Also note that point E in the attached graph is the shutdown point.
The shutdown point is the point where the short run marginal cost (SMC) is equal to the average variable cost (AVC) (i.e. where MC = AVC = Shutdown point).
This indicates that the short-run supply curve for a price-taking firm is the part of the SMC curve that lies above AVC curve.
The part of the SMC curve that lies below the AVC or the shutdown point is not part of the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm, because the firm is not engaging in any production at that point.
Therefore, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the increasing portion of the short run MC curve above the shutdown point.
This follows the law of supply which states that more quantity of the product of a firm will be supplied when there is a rise in the market price.
In summary, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the positively-sloped portion of the short-run marginal cost curve
Refer to the following scenario to answer the following questions.
Five fishermen live in a village and have no other employment or income-earning possibilities besides fishing. They each own a boat that is suitable for fishing but does not have any resale value. Fish are worth $5 per pound, and the marginal cost of operating the boat is $500 per month. They all fish a river next to the village. According to the following schedule, they have determined that when there are more of them out on the river fishing, they each catch fewer fish per month.
Boats Fish Caught per
Boat (pounds)
1 200
2 190
3 175
4 155
5 130
How many fishermen will choose to operate their boats?
Answer:
5 fishermen will choose to operate their boats as each of them will earn a profit of $150
Explanation:
Per boat operating cost = $500 per month.
Price of fish = $5 per pound.
There are 5 fishermen and each fishermen has 1 boat.
For 1 boat
Total revenue = Price * quantity = $5 * 200 = $1,000
Cost = $500
Profit = Total revenue - Cost = 1000 - 500
Profit = $500.
For 2 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = $5 * 190 = $950
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = Total revenue - Cost = 950 - 500
Profit of each boat = $450.
For 3 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 175 = $875
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 875 - 500
Profit of each boat = $375
For 4 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 155 = $775
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 775 - 500
Profit of each boat = $275
For 5 boats
Total Revenue of each boat = 5 * 130 = $650
Cost of each boat = $500
Profit of each boat = TR - Cost = 650 - 500
Profit of each boat = $150.
Conclusion: As there are 5 fishermen and if all of them out on the river at the same time then each fisherman earns profit of $150. As all fishermen earns profit hence all of them will choose to operate their boats. Therefore, 5 fishermen will be ready to operate their boats.

Merrill Lynch was subject to threats by Enron that it would loose $750 million from stock offerings.
The cash flows associated with each expansion site are summarized below. The expansion is planned for 5 years, and the interest rate is 12% per year. Use the B/C method to determine which site, if any, is the most acceptable. The monetary unit is $ million.
Site A B C
Initial cost, $ 55 70 200
M&O Cost, $/year 3 4 6
Benefits, $/year 20 29 55
Disbenefits, $/year 0.5 2 2.1
A. Site A
B. Site C
C. Site B
D. None
Answer:
C. Site B
Explanation:
A benefit-cost (B/C) method is a decision making techi=niques that uses benefit-cost ratio (BCR) to give a summary of overall relationship between the relative benefits and costs and a project being proposed.
To calculated the present values (PV) of Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Cost, Benefits and Disbenefits, we use cumulative discounting factor (CDF) for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:
CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^5} / 0.12] = 3.60
We can now calculate the B?C of each Site as follows as follows:
a. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site A
Initial cost = $55
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $3 * 3.60 = $10.80
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$20 * 3.60 = $72.00
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $0.5 * 3.60 = $1.80
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $55 + $10.80 + $1.80 = $67.60
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $72.00 / $67.60 = 1.07
b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B
Initial cost = $70
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $4 * 3.60 = $14.40
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$29 * 3.60 = $104.40
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2 * 3.60 = $7.20
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $70 + $14.40 + $7.20 = $91.60
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $104.40 / $91.60 = 1.14
b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B
Initial cost = $200
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $6 * 3.60 = $21.60
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$55 * 3.60 = $198.00
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2.1 * 3.60 = $7.56
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $200 + $21.60 + $7.56 = $229.16
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $198.00 / $229.16 = 0.86
Conclusion
1. Since the B/C ratio of only Site A and Site B are greater than 1, both are acceptable.
2. But since Site B's B/C ratio of 1.14 is greater Site A's B/C ratio of 1.07, Site B is the most acceptable. Therefore, the correct option is C. Site B.
richard has two investment opportunities. He can invest in the sunglasses company or the umbrella company. if he diversifies his investment by putting 50% of his money into each company, what is the expected return and standard deviation of his portfolio
Answer:
Some information was missing, so i looked it up:
State of Prob. of the state Sunglasses Umbrella
the economy of the economy Company Corporation
Sunny .50 25% 0%
Rainy .50 0% 25%
expected returns:
Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%
Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,
so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%
standard deviation:
Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%
Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%
so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%
New Morning Bakery is in the process of closing its operations. It sold its two-year-old bakery ovens to Great Harvest Bakery for $580,000. The ovens originally cost $778,000, had an estimated service life of 10 years, and an estimated residual value of $48,000. New Morning Bakery uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment. Required: 1. Calculate the balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year.
Answer:
The balance in the accumulated depreciation account at the end of the second year is $146,000.
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed depreciation charge on the asset during its period of use.
Depreciation Expense (Straight line) = Cost - Residual Amount ÷ Estimated Useful life
= $778,000 - $48,000 ÷ 10
= $73,000
Therefore, for each year, a depreciation expense of $73,000 is charged to profit an loss.
Accumulated Depreciation Calculation :
Depreciation Expense : Year 1 $73,000
Depreciation Expense : Year 2 $73,000
Total Expense $146,000
"Net income for the period was $200,000. The retained earnings account had a beginning balance of $25,000. If the company paid dividends of $20,000 during the year, what is the ending balance in retained earnings?"
Answer:
Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000
Explanation:
Retained earnings at the end = Retained earning at the beginning + Net income - Dividend paid
The net income would increase the balance of the retained earnings hence it is added to it.
The Dividend paid would be a cash outflow which would reduce the balance of the retained earnings, hence it is deducted from it.
So applying this to the question, we have
Retained earning balance at the end would be:
25,000 + 200,000 - 20,000 = $205,000
Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Parwin Corporation plans to sell 40,000 units during August. If the company has 16,500 units on hand at the start of the month, and plans to have 17,500 units on hand at the end of the month, how many units must be produced during the month?
Answer:
41,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of units must be produced during the month is shown below:-
Units Produced = Units at Year End - Units at beginning + Units Sold
= 17,500 units - 16,500 units + 40,000 units
= 57,500 units - 16,500 units
= 41,000 units
Therefore for computing the units produced during the month we simply applied the above formula.
The company must produce 41000 units during the month. The entire cost of direct materials and labor as well as the total cost of manufacturing overhead may be added together to get the overall cost of the product.
Below is a calculation of the number of units that must be generated during the month:-
Units Produced = Units at Year's End - Units at Start + Units Sold
40,000 units + 17,500 units less than 16,500 units.
16,500 units less than 57,500 units
= 41,000 units
Therefore, we used the aforementioned calculation to calculate the number of units generated throughout the month.

You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 14 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 5.1 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods. What is the price of the bond
Answer:
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85
Explanation:
The price of a zero coupon bond is simply calculated by calculating the present value of the face value of the bond that the bond pays at maturity. The formula for the price of a zero coupon bond is,
Bond Price = Face Value / ( 1 + r )^n
Where,
r is the rate or YTM n is the number of periods left to maturityAssuming that the r or YTM is always stated in annual terms, the semi annual YTM will be 5.1% / 2 = 2.55%
Assuming semi annual compounding periods, the total number of periods or n will be,
n = 14 * 2 = 28
Bond Price = 10000 / (1 + 0.0255)^28
Bond Price = $4940.8468 rounded off to $4940.85
The production budget shows expected unit sales of 40000. Beginning finished goods units are 3800. Required production units are 41600. What are the desired ending finished goods units
Answer:
desired ending inventory= 5,400 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 40,000 units
Beginning finished goods= 3,800 units
Production= 41,600 units
To calculate the desired ending inventory, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
41,600= 40,000 + desired ending inventory - 3,800
41,600 + 3,800 - 40,000= desired ending inventory
desired ending inventory= 5,400 units

People decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. The value of the marginal propensity to consume is ________ and the value of the spending multiplier is ________.
Answer: 0.8; 5
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that people decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. We should note that the addition of the marginal prospensity to consume(MPC) and the marginal prospensity to save(MPS) will be equal to 1.
Therefore, the value of the marginal propensity to consume will be:
= 1 - 20%
= 1 - 0.2
= 0.8
The value of the spending multiplier will be calculated as:
= 1/MPS
= 1/0.2
= 5
