Answer: True
Explanation:
The capital intensity ratio of a company
is used to measure the amount of capital that is required per dollar of revenue. The capital intensity ratio is calculated when the total assets that a company has is divided by its sales.
It should be noted that firms that has high capital intensity ratios have found ways to lower this ratio which allows them to achieve a given level of growth with fewer assets and consequently less external capital.

What must be the price of a $5,000 bond with a 6.6% coupon rate, semiannual coupons, and two years to maturity if it has a yield to maturity of 10% APR?
Answer:
Bond Price = $4698.59
Explanation:
The price of a bond is equal to the present value of the interest payments, which are in form of an annuity, made by the bond plus the present value of the face value of the bond.
The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.
The semi annual coupon rate = 6.6% / 2 = 3.3%
Total period = 2 * 2 = 4
Semi annual YTM = 10% / 2 = 5%
Semi annual coupon payment = 5000 * 0.033 = 165
Bond Price = 165 * [( 1 - (1 + 0.05)^-4) / 0.05] + 5000 / (1+0.05)^4
Bond Price = $4698.59
Jordan issued 10-year, 11% bonds with a par value of $110,000. Interest is paid semiannually. The market rate on the issue date was 10%. Jordan received $116,855 in cash proceeds. Which of the following statements is True? Multiple Choice Suring must pay $116,855 at maturity and no interest payments.
Answer:
$110,000 on maturity
Interest of $6,050 semiannually
Explanation:
Jordan will pay $110,000 at maturity date with 20 payments of $6050 as interest
11% bonds at par value = $110,000
Interest paid = Semiannually
Market rate = 10%
At maturity, the par value will be paid as the par value of Jordan issued bonds is 110,000, therefore, Jordan will pay 110,000 on the maturity date.
As the bonds are issued for 10 years with semiannual payments that will be like 20 payments of $6,050 (110,000 x 10% x 6/12)

b. Days' sales in inventory
c. Accounts receivable turnover
d. Acid test rato
Answer:
1.1 The ratio from the list below which measures the efficiency of the operations of a company is D - Total Asset Turnover Ratio.
Explanation:
Total Asset Turn Over Ratio is calculated by dividing Net Sales by Average Total Assets.
For example, if company CDH is reporting a value of $499,650 as initial total assets and $387,656 as ending total assets. Within the same period, the company generated sales of $250,655, with sales returns of $17,000.
This means that, the asset turnover ratio for Company CDH is calculated as follows:
($250,655-$17,000)/(($387,656+$499,650)/2)
The answer is 0.52667
Thus, every dollar in total assets generates $0.52667 in sales.
Efficiency ratios are important for rating the operations of the business. They are also used by investors and lenders when conducting financial analysis of businesses to decide whether the companies are a good investment.
1.2 The component which summarises the components applicable in 1.1 is D Total Asset Turnover
2. Working capital is the variance between current assets and current liabilities.
. This is simply the capital that an organisation uses in its day-to-day business operations.
3. The short-term liquidity ratios which calculate how frequently a company collects its accounts are:
A) Days' sales Uncollected and
C) Accounts receivable turnover.
A) Days' sales Uncollected is calculated by
(Accounts receivable/Net annual credit sales) x 365
It is the number of days before receivables are collected.
The lower the ratio the more liquid the company is likely to be. High Days' Sales Uncollected Ratios are bad for business.
C) Accounts receivable turnover is the annual rate at which a business collects its average accounts receivable.

An organizational chart of a company shows vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support. This reflects a _______ structure.
Answer: Functional
Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.
An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.90 and autonomous consumption expenditures equals $100 billion. Further, assume that planned investment spending is
Answer:
$4 trillion or $4,000 billion$3.5 trillion or $3,500 billionExplanation:
1. Equilibrium Output or GDP is calculated by the expression;
Output or Y = Consumption + Investment + Government expenditure + Net exports
Net exports and Government expenditure are assumed to be 0.
Consumption = 100 + 0.9Y
Investment = $300 billion
Y = 100 + 0.9Y + 300
Y - 0.9Y = 400
Y = 400/0.1
Y = $4,000 billion
2. Y = 50 + 0.9Y + 300
Y - 0.9Y = 350
0.1Y = 350
Y = 350/0.1
Y = $3,500 Billion

g If Warren Buffet can beat the market using value investing, then... Group of answer choices the market is semi-strong form efficient the market is weak form efficient the market cannot be efficient the market is strong form efficient
Answer: The market is weak form efficient
Explanation:
Weak form markets are markets in which stocks are said to incorporate all past information in their prices. Investors who believe that the market is at weak form efficiency believe that since the stock contains past information, using the current information in the company's books to determine if the company is overvalued or undervalued is possible (fundamental analysis).
Warren Buffet's Value Investing means that he invests in stocks that he believes to be undervalued and sells them for higher or holds them when they appreciate. This is consistent with fundamental analysis. If Warren Buffet is beating the market by investing in undervalued stock then the market is indeed weak form efficient.
Oil Dawg, an oil tanker company, shipped oil to coasts all over the US. During many deliveries, the crew was dumping waste into the ocean. To conceal this, the crew falsified entries into the record book and lied to the Coast Guard about waste disposal. Top executives in the company were unaware this was happening. A jury convicted Oil Dawg of conspiracy, pollution, and obstruction of justice and the company was fined $4.9 Million. Oil Dawg appealed. Should Oil Dawg be found criminally liable for the illegal actions of its lower-level employees under the doctrine of respondeat superior? Why or Why not?
Answer:
The doctrine of respondeat superior is generally applied to torts and is used by civil courts, but can also include criminal activities. In this case, the main issue is the fine imposed on Oil Dawg, so yes, this doctrine applies.
Respondeat superior basically makes the principal (the employer in this case) legally responsible for unlawful or negligent acts committed by its agents (employees in this case). This doctrine applies as long as the illegal acts were committed within the scope of the normal employment, e.g. crashing a van while making a delivery. In this case, the illegal polluting was carried out while transporting oil to the US.
The only possible defense that Oil Dawg might have is that the people that committed the illegal polluting were independent contractors and they weren't actual employees of the company. But according to the text given, that is not the case.
This doesn't mean that only the employer will be go to trial, the employees that committed the illegal polluting will also go to trial since they are both liable, and maybe face the same or even different charges.

An international corporation located in Country A is considering a project in the United States. The currency in Country A, say X, has been strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar; specifically, the average devaluation of the U.S. dollar has been % per year (which is projected to continue). Assume the present exchange rate is units of X per U.S. dollar. a. What is the estimated exchange rate two years from now? b. If, instead, currency X was devaluing at the same rate (% per year) relative to the U.S. dollar, what would be the exchange rate three years from now?
Answer:
a) the US dollar would devaluate by 2.6% in the first year, that means that the exchange rate between X and the US dollar will change from 6.4X per US dollar to 6.2336X per dollar. In two years, as the US dollar devaluates even more, the exchange rate will be 6.0715X per US dollar.
b) if both currencies devaluate at the same rate, then the exchange rate between them will not vary and will still be 6.4X per US dollar.
Explanation:
some information was missing, so I looked it up:
current exchange rate = 6.4X per US dollar
devaluation rate of US dollar = 2.6% per year
Suppose Cho is considering emigrating from her home country.A fictional country of Flaxon has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country, except that it has greater price stability. If Cho's decision to emigrate is based solely on the prospects for economic growth, she would
Answer: Migrate to Flaxon
Explanation:
If Flaxon country has the same policies and institutions as Cho's home country but also has greater price stability, Cho would emigrate if she wanted more economic growth because Price stability contributes to the growth of the economy.
Price stability means that the country is not going to experience inflation (deflation) that is too high (low) and lasts too long as well as one that is erratic.
This benefits the economy because;
Savings will not be easily eroded by inflation.Decisions can be made easier as inflation rates can be better predictable. For instance, people can save or invest at a particular rate that they know will bring them real return as it will be over the inflation rate. Unexpected deflation will not cause companies to make losses which can increase unemployment and company shutdowns and,Financial institutions can borrow out loans at more stable rates for investments because in a less stable market they would have to charge higher rates to ensure that they do not make losses should inflation change. These stable rates will attract companies and individuals who will use the funds for investment and improve the economy.Which if the following companies is most likely to benefit from economies of scale? (Select the best answer.)

The total manufacturing cost is the sum of the variable manufacturing cost and the fixed manufacturing cost.
Manufacturing cost = variable cost + Fixed cost
This can be represent using the formula below
Y = bx + a
Y -Manufacturing cost
b- Variable cost per unit
a- Fixed cost
X- number of units
Y = (45,000× 16) + 24,000 = $744000
Budgeted Manufacturing cost =$744,000
Answer:
The answer is $504,000

Prepare the journal entries to record (a) Elize’s pay for the period and (b) the payment of Elize’s wages.
Answer:
(a) Debit Wages expense for $950; Credit Federal income tax withholding for $94; and Credit Wages payable for $856
(b) Debit wages payable for $856; and Credit Cash for $856.
Explanation:
The entries will look as follows:
a) Prepare the journal entries to record Elize’s pay for the period
Date Account title Dr ($) Cr ($)
Jan 15 Wages expense (w.3) 950
Federal income tax withholding 94
Wages payable (w.4) 856
(To Elize’s pay for the period.)
(b) Prepare the journal entry to record the payment of Elize’s wages.
Date Account title Dr ($) Cr ($)
Jan 15 Wages payable (w.4) 856
Cash 856
(To record the payment of Elize’s wages.)
Workings:
Normal hours = 40
Number of hours worked = 45
Overtime hours = Number or hours worked - Normal hours = 45 - 40 = 5
Normal hourly wage rate = $20
Overtime hourly rate = $30
Federal income tax withholding = $94
w.1: Normal wage amount = Normal hours * Normal wage rate = 40 * $20 = $800
w.2: Overtime pay = Overtime hours * Overtime hourly rate = 5 * $30 = $150
w.3: Wages expense = Normal wage amount + Overtime pay = $800 + $150 = $950
w.4: Wages payable = Total wage amount - Federal income tax withholding = $950 - $94 = $856
Using the same information from before, please calculate the WACC of Correct Inc. assuming a risk free rate of 2.5%, a company Beta of 1.2 and a market risk premium of 6%.
Answer:
WACC = 21.7%
Explanation:
The firm is an all-equity finance firm which implies that the company uses only equity funds to finance its its operation without the use of debt. Therefore, the cost of the equity of the firm would be the same as its cost of capital (WACC)
The WACC can be determined using the the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The CAPM relates the price of a share to the market risk or systematic risk. The systematic risk is that which affects all the all the economic agents, e.g inflation, interest rate e.t.c
Using the CAPM , the required rate of return is given as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) - required return
β- Beta
Rm- Return on market
Rf- Risk-free rate
Rm-Rf- Market risk premium
DATA
E(r) =? , Rf- 2.5%, Rm-Rf- 6% , β- 1.2
E(r) = 2.5% + 1.2× (16%) = 21.7 %
Cost of equity = 21.7%
WACC = 21.7%

c. if the seller is a merchant who deals in goods of the kind sold.
d. in conjunction with lease contracts, not sales contracts.
Answer:
a. if the buyer is relying on the seller to select suitable goods.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Construction Products Company and Dante enter into a contract for a sale of bricks and stones. Construction Products knows the purpose for which Dante will use the goods (bricks and stones). Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), an implied warranty of fitness of a particular purpose arises if the buyer is relying on the seller to select suitable goods.
