Answer:
Option B makes the most economic sense.
Explanation:
Option A:
The total Initial investment amount - $450,000 + $60,000 = $510,000 total Initial investment cost excluding the adjustment for inflation every year of the staff.
Per unit manufacturing cost= $510,000 ÷ 10, 000 (cubic meters of spiderwebs per year) = $51 (implying the selling price per unit will be higher than this).
Option B:
Initial total investment cost = $0 (he only outsourced)
Per unit manufacturing cost= less than $14 (because the price of the spiderwebs will be $14 per cubic meter over the next ten years).
By outsourcing following option B, Peter would avoid the massive initial investment cost of buying the industrial-grade chemical reactor that costs $450,000. Also, since this is not a commercial endeavor he needs to be wary of the lower cost per unit of the spiderwebs he stands to gain with option B.
Labor productivity growth can be attributed to: a. improvement in technology. b. a decline in university attendance. c. an increase in population growth. d. a decline in the physical capital per worker.
Answer:
The answer is A. improvement in technology
Explanation:
Labor productivity growth is not relevant to a decline in university attendance.
Applying the Malthusianism theory, an increase in population growth can't lead to labor productivity growth because while that population growth is potentially exponential, the growth of resources is linear.
Finally, the physical capital per worker is the quantity of equipment and input resources that are used to produce output goods and services. It has no direct influence to the labor productivity growth.
Which is the best example of price discrimination? Group of answer choices Higher price for a Ford truck than for a Ford car. Different price for a car wash on Tuesday versus Wednesday Average price of a 2000 square foot home in California being higher than in South Dakota.
Answer:
Different price for a car wash on Tuesday versus Wednesday
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when identical goods are sold at different prices from the same provider. A Ford truck and a Ford car are not identical items. The average price of a home in two very different states (one highly desirable due to temperature/climate, and one less desirable for the same reason) do not constitute price discrimination. But the days of the week someone is able to wash a car, at the same car wash is an identical service at a different price.
The best example of price discrimination is different price for a car wash on Tuesday versus Wednesday. The correct option is (B).
What do you mean by the price discrimination?A selling tactic known as price discrimination involves charging clients various rates for the same good or service depending on what the vendor believes they can persuade the customer to accept.
When a merchant uses pure price discrimination, they charge each consumer the highest price they will agree to. When a seller discriminates on pricing, each consumer pays a different price for the same good or service.
Price discrimination is most beneficial when the profit gained from separating the markets exceeds the profit gained from maintaining the united markets.
Therefore, the best example of price discrimination is different price for a car wash on Tuesday versus Wednesday.

An asset for drilling was purchased and placed in service by a petroleum production company. Its cost basis is $60,000,and it has an estimated MV of $12,000 at the end of an estimated useful life of 14 years. Compute the depreciationamount in the thirdyear and the BV at the end of the fifth year of life by each of these methods:
Answer:
straight line depreciation:
depreciation expense per year, the same for every year = ($60,000 - $12,000) / 14 = $3,428.57
book value end of year 1 = $56,571.43
book value end of year 2 = $53,142.86
book value end of year 3 = $49,714.29
book value end of year 4 = $46,285.72
book value end of year 5 = $42,857.15
double declining balance:
deprecation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/14 x $60,000 = $8,571.43
book value end of year 1 = $51,428.57
deprecation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/14 x $51,428.57 = $7,346.94
book value end of year 2 = $44,081.63
deprecation expense year 3 = 2 x 1/14 x $44,081.63 = $6,297.38
book value end of year 3 = $37,784.25
deprecation expense year 4 = 2 x 1/14 x $37,784.25 = $5,397.75
book value end of year 4 = $32,386.50
deprecation expense year 5 = 2 x 1/14 x $32,386.50 = $4,626.64
book value end of year 5 = $27,759.86
sum of digits:
depreciable value = $60,000 - $12,000 = $48,000
total sum of digits = 120 years
deprecation expense year 1 = $48,000 x 15/120 = $6,000
book value end of year 1 = $54,000
deprecation expense year 2 = $48,000 x 14/120 = $5,600
book value end of year 2 = $48,400
deprecation expense year 3 = $48,000 x 13/120 = $5,200
book value end of year 3 = $43,200
deprecation expense year 4 = $48,000 x 12/120 = $4,800
book value end of year 4 = $38,400
deprecation expense year 5 = $48,000 x 11/120 = $4,400
book value end of year 5 = $34,000
A bond par value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5.1 percent. The bond price was $946.02 at the beginning of the year and $979.58 at the end of the year. The inflation rate for the year was 2.6 percent. What was the bond's real return for the year
Answer:
the bond's real return for the year is 6.18 %.
Explanation:
First find the nominal return of the bond then the real return as follows :
PV = - $946.02
Pmt = $1,000 × 5.10% = $51
P/yr = 1
FV = $979.58
n = 1
r = ?
Using a Financial Calculator, the nominal return of the bond, r is 8.9385 %.
Real Return = ( 1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) -1
= (1 + 0.089395) / (1 + 0.026) - 1
= 0.0618 or 6.18 %

Wentworth's Five and Dime Store has a cost of equity of 11.4 percent. The company has an aftertax cost of debt of 5 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. If the company's debt–equity ratio is .74, what is the weighted average cost of capital?
Answer:
WACC = 6.66 %
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund
WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)
After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)
Kd-After-tax cost of debt = 5%
Ke-Cost of equity = 11.4%
Wd-Weight f debt -74%
We-Weight of equity = 26%
WACC = (0.74× 5%) + (0.26 × 11.4%) = 6.66 %
WACC = 6.66 %

Henry Crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 50 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 35% of the $12 unit cost and that annual demand is about 235 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal?
Answer:
ordering costs = $22.34
Explanation:
economic order quantity (EOQ) = √(2SD / H)
D = annual demand = 235H = holding cost = 35% x $12 = $4.20S = cost per order = ?EOQ = 5050 = √[(2 x S x 235) / $4.20]
2,500 = (2 x S x 235) / $4.20
$10,500 = 2 x S x 235
S = $10,500 / (2 x 235) = $10,500 / 470 = $22.34

if the fixed cost for the Job Shop were changed to $305,000, what would the new break-even point in numbers of units
Answer:
The question you have provided is missing important information needed for the calculation of break even point.
However step by step approach for the calculation of the break even point is given below :
Understand what break even point is :
Break even point is the level of operation where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.
Break even point in units calculation :
Break even point in units calculation = Fixed Costs for the Period ÷ Contribution per unit
Where, Contribution per unit = Selling Price per Unit less Variable Cost (Manufacturing and Non Manufacturing) per unit
Conclusion :
At Break Even Point level,Total Contribution will equal Total Fixed Cost (thus no profit nor loss)
The only data the question provided is :
Fixec Cost - $305,000
Crane Corporation has 2,000 shares of stock outstanding. It redeems 500 shares for $370,000 when it has paid-in capital of $300,000 and E & P of $1,200,000. The redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment for the shareholder. Crane incurred $13,000 of accounting and legal fees in connection with the redemption transaction and $18,500 of interest expense on debt incurred to finance the redemption. What is the effect of the distribution on Crane Corporation's E & P? Also, what is the proper tax treatment of the redemption expenditures?
Answer:
E&P $1,200,000 × 25%= $300,000 reduction
Crane Corporation would reduce its E & P in the amount of $300,000 as a result of the redemption.
This represents a 25% decrease in the amount of the E & P corresponding to the 25% stock redemption.
When a stock redemption results in sale or exchange treatment for the shareholder, the E & P account of a corporation is reduced in an amount not in excess of the ratable share of the E & P of the distributing corporation attributable to the stock redeemed.
As such, none of the expense of $13,000 of accounting and legal fees or other is deductible.
Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $350 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $315,000, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $245 per 100 yards of XT rope.
Required:
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars.
2. Prepare a CVP chart for Product XT. Use 7,000 units (700,000 yards/100 maximum number of sales units on the horizontal axis of the graph, and $1,400,000 as the maximum dollar amount on the vertical axis.
3. Prepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.

1a. 3,000 units
1b. $1,050,000
2. See attachment.
3. contribution margin income statement
Sales ($350 × 7,000 units) $2,450,000
Less Variable Cost ($245 × 7,000 units)) ($1,715,000)
Contribution $735,000
Less Fixed Costs ( $315,000)
Operating Profit $420,000
Explanation:
Break-even point (sales units ) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $315,000 ÷ ($350 - $245)
= 3,000
Break-even point (sales dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $315,000 ÷ ($105/$350)
= $1,050,000
When a deliverable arrived, Craig met with the team member responsible
for ordering the deliverable to confirm it was the correct model and size.
Which of the following project elements was Craig monitoring in this scenario?
a. Budget
b. Schedule
c. Scope
d. Risk
Answer:
Project Element Craig Monitored in this scenario:
d. Risk
Explanation:
The element of the project that Craig monitored ensures that the deliverable conforms with the correct model and size because there is the risk that this could not conform if a deliverable was not not checked with the team member who ordered the deliverable. Since higher risks of deliverables not conforming to model and size would render the whole project unsuccessful, Craig has to meet with the team member responsible. In order words, the meeting between Craig and the team member for confirmation of correct model and size eliminates the risks of non-conformance.
In the example above when deliverable came and Craig met with the team member for ordering confirming whether the model and size was correct, Craig was monitoring Risk. So the correct option is D.
Risk refers to the possibility chances that the desired or the expected result will be obtained from the activities that are undertaken. Risk is directly related to the reward of such activity.
In the example above where Craig confirms whether the model and size of goods arrived were correct with the help of the team member who ordered such deliverable, risk was being monitored.In this case the risk can be denoted by value of 1 as the chances of getting the correct model and size are equal with chances of getting the incorrect model and size. Risk can be denoted by beta .[tex]\rm Risk = \beta[/tex]
Monitoring of risk is an important aspect so as to ensure whether the activities undertaken for the benefit of the business are standing true to their efforts or not.
Hence, the correct option is D that Craig was monitoring risk by checking the deliverable was correct in terms of model and size with the help of a team member.

Suppose a shortage in materials results in decrease in the supply of golf balls in the United States of 5%. If the elasticity of demand of golf balls sold in the US is -0.8, the new equilibrium price will be
Answer:
price elasticity of supply (PES) = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
PES = -0.8% change in quantity supplied = -5%-5% = -0.8 / % change in price
% change in price = -0.8 / -5% = 16%
we are not given the initial price of the golf balls and I looked for similar questions but couldn't find any. But assuming that the initial price is $1, then the new price = $1 x (1 + 16%) = $1.16. If the initial price was $2, then new price = $2 x (1 + 16%) = $2.32. And son on.

Margaret’s car loan statement said that she would pay $7,683.20 in interest for a 5-year loan at an interest rate of 9.8%. Assuming this is an example of simple interest, how much did Margaret borrow to buy the car?
Answer: $15680
Explanation:
Principal = Unknown
Time = 5 years
Rate = 9.8%
Simple interest = $7683.20
Simple interest= PRT/100
7683.20 = (P × 9.8 × 5)/100
7683.20 = 49P/100
Cross multiply
768320 = 49P
P = 768320/49
Principal = $15680
Margaret borrowed $15680 to buy the car.
Ultimate Sportswear has $150,000 of 8% non-cumulative, non-participating, preferred stock outstanding. Ultimate Sportswear also has $550,000 of common stock outstanding. In the company's first year of operation, no dividends were paid. During the second year, the company paid cash dividends of $35,000. This dividend should be distributed as follows:
a. $8,750 preferred: $26,250 common.
b. $0 preferred: $35,000 common.
c. $12.000 preferred: $23.000 common.
d. $19.000 preferred: $16.000 common
e. $17,500 preferred; $17,500 соmmоn.
Answer:
c. $12,000 preferred: $23,000 common
Explanation:
Calculation of how the Dividend should be distributed
First step is to calculate for preferred stock outstanding
Preferred stock outstanding=$150,000 * 8% non-cumulative
Preferred stock outstanding=$12,000
Second step is to calculate for common stock outstanding
Using this formula
Common stock outstanding = Cash Dividend-Preferred stock outstanding
Let plug in the formula
Common stock outstanding=$35,000-$12,000
Common stock outstanding=$23,000
Therefore Preferred stock outstanding will be $12,000 while Common stock outstanding will be $23,000

After making deposits in a bank account as stated in the conditions given above, it can be inferred that an amount of approximately $15,940 will be available in the account after the end of 5 years.
What is the significance of deposits?Deposits can be referred to or considered as such engagement of monies with any commercial bank that also provides a predetermined rate of interest to the customers making such deposit. Interest acts like a return on investment in this case.
The above condition is a case of making recurring deposits at regular intervals. Upon satisfying the conditions given above, the amount of monies in the account can be computed as below,
At the end of year 1, the Total deposit after interest earned will be
3000 + 6.70% = $3,201.
At the end of two years,
(3201 + 2500) + 6.70% = $6,083.
At the end of three years,
(6083 + 2500) + 6.70% = $9,158.
At the end of four years,
(9158 + 2500) + 6.70% = $12439.
At the end of five years,
(12439 + 2500) + 6.70% = $15,940.
Thus, it can be concluded that at the end of five years the deposits made after earning the interest will be $15,940.

you have been given this probability distribution for the holding for the holding-period return for GM stock. what is the expected standard deviation for GM stock
Answer:
14.86%
Explanation:
For computing the standard deviation, first we have to determine the expected return and then variance which is shown below:
= (Expected return of the boom × probability of boom) + (expected return of the normal growth × probability of normal growth) + (expected return of the recession × probability of recession)
= (0.30 × 0.40) + (0.11 × 0.40) + (-0.10 × 0.20)
= 0.12 + 0.044 - 0.02
= 0.144
Now the variance would equal to the
= Probability × (Return - Expected Return) ^2
For boom:
= 0.40 × (0.30 - 0.144) ^2
= 0.0097344
For normal growth:
= 0.40 × (0.11 - 0.144) ^2
= 0.0004624
For recession:
= 0.20 × (-0.10 - 0.144) ^2
= 0.0119072
So, the total variance would be
= 0.0097344 + 0.0004624 + 0.0119072
= 0.022104
Now as we know that
Standard deviation is
[tex]\sqrt{variance} \\\\ = \sqrt{0.022104}[/tex]

Estimated inventory = Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made * Cost Retail Ratio
Retail value of Goods Available for Sale
= Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail price of Purchases
= 120,000 + 480,000
= $600,000
Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made
= 600,000 - 490,000
= $110,000
Cost to retail price ratio
= (Cost of Beginning Inventory + Cost of Purchases) / (Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail Price of Purchases)
= (60,000 + 312,000) / (120,000 + 480,000)
= 62%
Ending inventory
= 110,000 × 62%
= $68,200

The required rate of return or cost of equity capital is the rate required by the investors to invest in a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as measure by the beta. The required rate of return or cost of equity can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRf is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069
r = 0.07649 or 7.649%
Draiman Guitars is offering 110,000 shares of stock in an IPO by a general cash offer. The offer price is $39 per share and the underwriter's spread is 8 percent. The administrative costs are $350,000. What are the net proceeds to the company?
Answer:
$3,596,800
Explanation:
The computation of net proceeds to the company is shown below:-
Net proceeds = Number of shares of stock × Offer price × (1 - Underwriter spread percent) - Administrative cost
= 110,000 × $39 × (1- 0.08) - $350,000
= 110,000 × $39 × 0.92 - $350,000
= $3,946,800 - $350,000
= $3,596,800
So, for determining the net proceeds we simply applied the above formula.
