b. the price must be a fair price.
c. sellers should have substantial pricing power.
d. all you need are many buyers and many sellers

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A:

Each buyer and seller is small, relative to the whole market; no single decision maker has any influence over the market price.

Explanation:

A competitive market is a market that is characterized by free entry and exit. This means that any party has a right to enter the industry, do business, and leave it freely. In other words, no party or business holds enough stake to become a gatekeeper in that industry.

Furthermore, prices are determined by the forces of demand and supply, and cannot be arbitrarily set by any business.

No single decision maker has any influence over the market price.

This makes option A correct.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Higher than, Lower than and Excess production theory".

Explanation:

Under Monopolistic Competition:

Average cost = 70

Production level = 50

Under perfect competition:

Average cost = 65

Production level = 70

Excess capacities are a circumstance where an economic performance would be less than the commodity that somehow a company might offer to that same marketplace.Throughout terms of long-lasting balances, the commodity demand of such a monopolistic competition corporation is lesser than that of a complete business entity.

Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 8%. Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is the price of the bond now

Answers

Answer:

$814.10

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now

Using this formula

Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value

Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t

Let plug in the formula

Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)

Bond price= $814.10

Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10

From the standpoint of the issuing company, a disadvantage of using bonds as a means of long-term financing is that Group of answer choices bond interest is deductible for tax purposes. interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings. income to stockholders may increase as a result of trading on the equity. the bondholders do not have voting rights.

Answers

Answer:

interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.

The disadvantages of bonds are listed below as;

1. Bonds can decrease a person's return on equity.

2. Bonds require a payment of the principal amount.

3. Bonds typically require a payment of periodic interest.

Generally, most bonds with shorter maturity time respond less dramatically to changes in interest rates when compared to bonds having longer maturity. Thus, the risk associated with short bonds isn't really significant because their interest rates are less likely to change substantially within that short period of time unlike bonds with longer maturity.

Hence, regardless of the earnings by bondholders, interest must be paid on a periodic basis on a long-term bond.

It has been said that Earned Value Management (EVM) came about because the Federal Government often used "Cost-plus" contractors with project organizations. Cost-plus contracting allows the contractor to recover full project development costs plus accumulate profit from these contracts. Why would requiring contractor firms to employ earned value management help the government hold the line against project cost overruns?

Answers

Answer:

Earned Value Management (EVM)

The Federal Government requires contractor firms to employ earned value management because it enables it to assess the work that has been completed against an established baseline plan in terms of technical, time, and cost performance.

Armed with this information, it is in a better position to make important project decisions and help to control over-spending.

Explanation:

Earned value management (EVM) as a integrated project management methodology details the project time schedule, costs, and scope to ensure correct measurement of project performance.  Using planned and actual values, EVM enables future predictions, improving the ability of project managers to adjust according to requirements.

Stock Expected Return Volatility Beta
Taggart Transcontinental 8% 28% 1.2
Rearden Metal 13% 40% 1.7
Wyatt Oil 7% 20% 0.8
Nielson Motors 10% 32% 1.3
The expected alpha for Taggart Transcontinental is closest to:_______
A) -3%
B) -1%
C) 1%
D) 3%
E) 0%

Answers

Answer:

b. -1%

Explanation:

Expected Alpha = E[rs] - [rf+ B(rm- rf)]. Where rf+ B(rm- rf) is the CAPM return, rf= risk free return, B = Beta of security, rm= return of market, E[rs]= Expected return of security

Expected Alpha = 8% - [3%+1.2*(8%-3%)

Expected Alpha = 8% - 9%

Expected Alpha = -1%

So, the expected alpha for Taggart Transcontinental is closest to -1%.

Fort Thomas Living is a small publishing company located in the Northern Kentucky.

At an activity level of 6,000 units the cost for maintenance is $7,200 and at 10,000 units the cost for maintenance is $11,600. Using the high-low method, the cost formula for maintenance is: Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

y = $1.10x + $600

Explanation:

Step 1 : Variable Cost calculation

Variable Cost = ($11,600 - $7,200) ÷ (10,000 - 6,000)

                        = $1.10

Step 2 : Fixed Cost calculation

Total cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost

hence,

Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost

                   = $11,600 - (10,000 x $1.10)

                   = $600

Step 3 : Cost formula for maintenance

Total cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost

therefore,

y = $1.10x + $600

where,

y = Total cost

x = Activity level

Using the high-low method, the cost formula for maintenance is : y = $1.10x + $600

Cullumber Enterprises has total current assets of $345,002 and fixed assets of $466,306. The company also has long-term debt of $287,400, $100,000 in its common stock account, and retained earnings of $187,570. What is the value of its total current liabilities

Answers

Answer: $236,338

Explanation:

The accounting equation is:

Assets = Equity + Liabilities

Assets = Fixed assets + Current Assets

Equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Fixed assets + Current Assets = Common stock + Retained earnings + Long term debt + Current liabilities

466,306 + 345,002 = 100,000 + 187,570 + 287,400 + Current liabilities

811,308 = 574,970 + Current liabilties

Current liabilities = 811,308 - 574,970

In an economy open to international trade ________.
A) saving equals investment in equilibrium
B) saving is the difference between net exports and investment
C) saving equals investment as long as the economy has no exports
D) saving equals investment as long as NX

Answers

Answer: D) saving equals investment as long as NX = 0

Explanation:

The last option was incomplete as it should have said ...NX = 0.

The Income/GDP of a country that is open to international trade is calculated as follows:

Income = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports

Y = C + I + G + NX

If NX = 0 then the formula becomes:

Y = C + I + G

Investment in this scenario is therefore:

I = Y - C - G

This is the same as savings as savings is calculated by subtracting consumption and government spending from the total income. This is because government spending is derived from taxes so the cash that people get to save is their income less than their taxes and consumption expenses.

S = Y - C - G = Y

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.

First step is the Computation of Group depreciation rate, group life and depreciation for 2016

Assets Original Residual Depreciation Estimated Depreciation

Cost Value Cost Life-Years per year-SLM

Stoves $15,000-$3,000= $12,000 6 $2,000 ($12,000/6=$2,000)

Refrigerators $10,000-$1,000=$9,000 5 $1,800 ($9,000/5=$1,800)

Dishwashers $8,000-$500=$7,500 4 $1,875

($7,500/4=$1,875)

Total $33,000 $4,500 $28,500 $5,675

Now let determine the group depreciation rate, group life, and depreciation for 2016.

Calculation for group depreciation rate using this formula

Group Depreciation Rate = Total depreciation per year ÷ Total original cost

Let plug in the formula

Group depreciation rate = $5,675 ÷ $33,000*100

Group depreciation rate= 17.197%

Calculation for Group life using this formula

Group life = Total depreciation cost ÷ Total depreciation per year

Let plug in the formula

Group life = $28,500 ÷ $5,675

Group life = 5.02 years

Calculation for Depreciation for 2016 using this formula

Depreciation for 2016= Original Cost × Group Depreciation Rate

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation for 2016 = $33,000 × 0.17197

Depreciation for 2016= $5,675

Therefore the group depreciation rate is 17.197%, group life is 5.02 years, and depreciation for 2016 is $5,675

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $160,000, and it would cost another $40,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $80,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $7,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $52,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.

Required:
a. What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow?
b. What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3?

Answers

Answer:

a.

$207,000

b.

Year 1: $57,600

Year 2: $67,200

Year 3: $30,000

Explanation:

a.

Calculate the initial outlay of the project at year 0 as follow

Initial Outlay = Base Price + Modification cost + Working Capital requirement

Initial Outlay = $160,000 + $40,000 + $7,000

Initial Outlay = $207,000

b.

n = number of years

a. (788.17 / 360)^(1/11) - 1 = 7.38%

b. (11.499.87 / 3000) ^(1/17) - 1 = 8.23

c. (140,000 / 31,542.31)^(1/22) - 1 = 7.01

d. (1,100,000 / 32895.12)^(1/40) - 1 = 9.17
