George Hansen is General Manager for the Marigold Inn in Augusta, Georgia. Sharon Coombs is Restaurant and Food Services manager for the Inn. She reports to George. Two years ago, Sharon noticed a decline in room service business, the highest margin potion of her operation. This decline coincided with an increase in the national sales of pizza delivery and carryout firms as well as an increase in the number of empty pizza boxes from these firms being left in guest rooms in the Inn. Her immediate response was to install a pizza oven in the kitchen and offer room service pizza to guests. The effort met with modest success, though it was well below her expectations. Questionnaires completed by departing guests revealed a problem of product quality.
Focusing on this problem, Sharon improved the Inn’s pizza until blind tests judged it at least equal in quality to the products of the two major pizza delivery competitors in Augusta. Sales did not improve, convincing Sharon that the problem was a perceived mismatch between the hotel’s image and guests’ expectations of pizza makers. Guests simply did not seem to believe that the traditional steak and seafood restaurant at the Inn could make a high-quality, authentic pizza.
Based on this conclusion, Sharon presented the following proposal to George:
"Sales of room service pizza are stagnant due to guests’ misperception that our product is lower in quality than that of competitors. This misperception is based on the belief that until we disassociate our pizza from the Marigold Inn name. Therefore, to capture more room service pizza business, we should create a ‘Napoli Pizza’ image for our guest room delivery service by:
Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered, ‘Napoli Pizza, authentic Italian pizza from old, family recipes.’
Using special ‘Napoli Pizza’ boxes for delivering room service pizza to guests.
Issuing ‘Napoli Pizza’ hats and jackets to room service personnel for use in pizza delivery. Room service waiters and waitresses will wear these garments to deliver pizza. They will change to their regular uniforms for other deliveries.

Answer:

Correct Answer:

1. Preparing ‘Napoli Pizza’ brochures for each guest room, complete with a phone number with a prefix different from that of Marigold Inn. The number will reach a special phone in room service, which will be answered,

Explanation:

This is the best logical suggestion to George because, the guests already had the impression that, the inn cannot be able to produce a very high quality and tasty pizza. Preparing "Napoli Pizza" with different information from the Inn is best alternative. the guest would believe that, the pizza is coming from another quality pizza making company.

Answers

Answer:

hello attached below are the missing option related to your question

5.45% ( D )

Explanation:

Given data:

for asset 1

cost of asset = $26000

Year 1  payments = $5000, year 3 = $10000, year 5 = $15000

For asset 2

cost of asset 2 three years from now  = $29500

year 4 payments = $12000, year 5 payments = $20000

Calculate the one year forward rate deferred three years

find the value of  [tex](1+s3)^3[/tex] using asset 1

2600 (cost of asset now )  = 5000/ (1.03 +10000) / ((1 +s3)^3 +15000))/ 1.0425^5

from the above equation

(1 +s3)^3 = 1.11559

Now to get the one year forward rate deferred three years we determine that value using asset 2

29500 = 12000 / (1+1 year rate deferred for 3 years) + 220000/(1.0425^5/(1+s3)^3)

hence ( 1 + 1 year rate deferred for three years )

= 12000/(29500-20000)/(1.0425^5)*1.11559)

= 12000/(9500)/(1.0425^5)*1.11559

1 year rate deferred for three years = 5.447% ≈ 5.45%

Why might an economist favor activist policies in developed countries and laissez-faire policies in developing countries

Answers

Answer:

One of the main economic issues in developing countries is rampant corruption or extremely inefficient government institutions. This means that less government intervention is always better in developing countries.

On the other hand, in developed countries, the checks and balances system exists within government institutions and even though corruption may exist, it is not as widely spread. The most severe economic problem in developed countries is inequality and huge economic actors. This is why activist policies may be necessary in developed countries, at least in certain economic sectors.

Answer:

Luther Corporation

Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:

1.1 : 1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total Current Assets = $144 million

Total Current Liabilities = $132 million

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $144/$132

= 1.1 : 1

b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million.  The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts.  Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average.  This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.

b) Equity Section of the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018:

Common Stock                                $65,000

Treasury Stock (at cost)                     (13,400)

Paid-in-Capital in Excess of Par         82,000

Retained Earnings                              32,300

Total Stockholders' Equity             $165,600

Explanation:

Retained Earnings:

1/1/18 = $22,000

Net income = $10,300

12/31/18 = $32,300

FVA = The Janjua Company's Funding Valuation Adjustment is the contra account of Investments where The Janjua Company adjusts the value of investments at the end of the account period.  When the value of the investment reaches $40,000, the unrealized gain is debited to the FVA account.  This effectively reverses the credit balance and restores the investments to the adjusted balance of $40,000.

If the government wants to minimize the deadweight loss of taxation, which of the following items are good candidates for an excise tax? (select all that apply)A. emergency plumber servicesB. Coca-ColaC. insulinD. food at restaurants

Answers

Answer:

A. emergency plumber services and  C.insulin.

Explanation:

From the list provided the best candidates for this would be emergency plumber services and insulin. That is because these are items or services that have a high supply but low demand due to the population of customers being a minority. This, therefore, causes market inefficiency which leads to deadweight loss. Other items like Coca-Cola and food mostly stay in equilibrium because products are made depending on the current demand and the customer population is the vast majority.

An increase in input prices causes:___________
a) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price downward.
b) the market supply to shift outward, leading to a higher equilibrium price.
c) the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.
d) the supply curve to decrease and the demand curve to decrease.

Answers

Answer: the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.

Explanation:

An increase in input prices will result into a rise in the production costs. This will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve.

Therefore, the market supply will shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher. This simply means that there will be lesser supply of the product and hence, increase in price.

You are in the business of making kombucha tea. Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1. Your fixed costs are $100,000/year and you expect to sell 300,000 bottles in your first year. How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000

Answers

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 100,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your variable costs to produce each bottle is $1.

Your fixed costs are $100,000/year.

How many bottles must you sell at $3/bottle to cover your fixed costs and earn your target profit of $100,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (200,000) / (3 - 1)

Break-even point in units= 100,000 units

The number of bottles that must be sold at $3 per bottle to earn a target profit of $100,000 is 200,000 bottles.

Data and Calculations:

Variable cost per bottle = $1

Fixed cost per year = $100,000

Expected sales units in the first year = 300,000 bottles

Selling price per bottle = $3

Target profit = $300,000

Contribution margin per unit = $2 ($3 - $1)

Contribution margin ratio = 67% ($2/$3 x 100)

Sales units to achieve target profit =  (Fixed Costs + Profit)/$2

= ($100,000 + $300,000)/$2

= 200,000 bottles

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Let us assume M denotes the making units

B denotes the buying units

So,

Making cost per unit = $2

And, the buying cost per unit = $3

And, the total number of units required = 4,000 units

Explanation:

A convertible bond is a debt security that yields the payment of interest, but can also be converted into equity shares or common stock that are predetermined.

The option that holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion is wrong. This is because the number I shares that will be eventually converted will already have been fixed.

Suppose the benefit of owning a painting, in terms of your personal enjoyment, is worth 5% of the value of the painting. If the expected rate of return on stocks is 7%, then the painting should grow in value by _________ per year.

Answers

Calculate the effective annual interest rate for the following: a. A 3-month T-bill selling at $97,820 with par value $100,000. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. A 8% coupon bond selling at par and paying coupons semiannually.

Answers

Answer:

A.9.2%

B.8.16%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill

First step

T-bill =(Par value-Selling amount)/Par value

Let plug in the formula

T-bill =($100,000-$97,820)/$97,820

T-bill =$2,180/$97,820

T-bill =0.02228

Now let calculate for the Effective Annual Interest rate

Effective Annual Interest rate = (1 + 0.02228)^4– 1

Effective Annual Interest rate = (1.02228)^4-1

Effective Annual Interest rate =1.0921-1

Effective Annual Interest rate =0.0921×100

Effective Annual Interest rate=9.2%

B. Calculation for the effective annual interest rate for A 8% coupon bond .

First step

Semi-annual return=8%/2

Semi-annual return=4%

Second step is to calculate for the effective annual interest rate

Using this formula

Effective annual interest rate =(1+Semi-annual return percentage)^2-1

Let plug in the formula

Effective annual interest rate=(1+0.04)^2-1

Effective annual interest rate=(1.04)^2-1

Effective annual interest rate=1.0816-1

Effective annual interest rate=0.0816×100

Effective annual interest rate=8.16%

Therefore the Effective annual rate on three-month T-bill will be 9.2% while that of coupon bond is 8.16%

Answer:

January 1

Cash                                           $3168967 Dr

Discount on Bonds Payable    $231033

            Bonds Payable                        $3400000 Cr

Explanation:

The issuance of bond on January 1 is at a discount as the coupon rate paid by the bond is less than the market interest rate. In such case the bond is issued at a lower value than its par/face value. The discount on bonds payable is the difference between the face value and the cash received on issuance.

The entry to record the issues include a debit to cash account as cash is received, a debit to the discount on bonds payable account for the amount of discount and a credit to bonds payable account as liability is created as a result of the issuance of the bonds.

Discount = 3400000 - 3168967 = 231033

Company manufactures two products. Both products have the same sales​ price, and the volume of sales is equivalent.​ However, due to the difference in production​ processes, Product A has higher variable costs and Product B has higher fixed costs. Management is considering dropping Product B because that product line has an operating loss.

Dropping Product B will result in Total Operating Loss of $8,500. This means Richardson will be better off than what he was before. He should  drop the product in this case.

The stock pays a dividend of $2 per year and its price is $80. If the market return is 7% and the risk-free rate is 1%, what is the stock beta? A. 0.4 B. 0.5 C. 0.25 D. 0.1

Answers

Answer:

The beta of the stock is 0.25 and option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The current price of a stock which pays a constant dividend can be determined using the zero growth dividend model of DDM. The formula to calculate the price under this model is,

P0 = Dividend / r

Where,

r is the required rate of return on the stock

As we already know the value of P0 and Dividend, we can plug in these values in the formula and calculate the value of r.

80 = 2 / r

80 * r = 2

r = 2 / 80

r = 2.5% or 0.025

The required rate of return can also be calculated using the CAPM equation. The formula for r under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

To calculate beta, we will input the values for r, rRf and rM in the CAPM equation.

Let beta be x.

0.025 = 0.01 + x * (0.07 - 0.01)

0.025 - 0.01 = x * 0.06

0.015 / 0.06 = x

x = 0.25

Thus, beta is 0.25

You purchased a stock at a price of $46.55. The stock paid a dividend of $1.79 per share and the stock price at the end of the year is $52.45. What was the dividend yield

Answers

Answer:

3.84%

Explanation:

Calculation for dividend yield

Using this formula

Dividend Yield(%) = D / P0

Where,

D=$1.79

P0=$46.55

Let plug in the formula

Dividend Yield(%) =$1.79/$46.55

Dividend Yield(%) =0.0384*100

Dividend Yield(%) =3.84%

Therefore the dividend yield will be 3.84%

Carlos

Deborah

Explanation:

a person has comparative advantage in production if he / she produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people

for carlos

the opportunity cost of producing rye = 6 / 18 = 0.33

the opportunity cost of producing corn = 18 / 6 = 3

for Deborah,

the opportunity cost of producing rye = 7 / 28 = 0.25

the opportunity cost of producing corn = 28 /7 =4

Carlos has a comparative advantage in the production of corn because he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with Deborah

Deborah has a comparative advantage in the production of rye because he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with Carlos

A person has absolute advantage in production if he produces more quantity of the product when compared to other people.
