Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

IRR for A= 35.33%

IRR for B = 31.88%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a finacial calculator :

IRR for cash flow A

Cash flow in year 0 = −$ 68,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $44,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $38,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $25,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $15,600

IRR = 35.33%

IRR for cash flow A

Cash flow in year 0 = −$ 68,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,200

Cash flow in year 2 =  34,200

Cash flow in year 3 = $40,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $24,200

IRR = 31.88%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button

dividends per share

Explanation:

A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.

for example if a company has 4 million shares outstanding at a price of $20, earning per share is $1 and dividend per share is $0.50. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :

the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 4 million = 8 million

stock price becomes = $40 / 2 =$20

earning per share = $1 / 2 = $0.50

dividend per share = $0.5 / 2 = $0.25

Answers

Answer: profitability

Explanation: The internal rate of return method differs from the net present value method in that it results in finding the profitability of the potential investment.

In capital budgeting which is the process by which companies determine whether a new investment or expansion opportunity is worthwhile and if undertaken, could either yield net profits or losses for the company, both the net present value (NPV) (present value of cash inflows minus the present value of cash outflows over a given period time) and the internal rate of return (IRR) methods are employed.

How does the IRR method determine profitability? - This it does by using a percentage value rather than a dollar amount and therefore is advantageous in representing the possible returns of investments by comparing it with other alternative investments.

Per Twitter’s amended S-1 filing, what are the maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013? Please provide your answer in millions without comma separator or decimal.

Answers

Answer:

Twitter's amended S-1 filing

Maximum estimated capital expenditures in 2013:

= $98 million

Explanation:

Twitter's capital expenditures in 2013 can be estimated by subtracting the  long-term or non-current assets of 2012 from 2013.

The 2013 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth $284,024,000

The 2012 long-term assets (Property and equipment, net) are worth  $185,574,000

The capital expenditure in 2013 =       $98,450,000

The implication is that Twitter added to (or increased) its property and equipment by $98,450,000, which represent new capital expenditures in 2013.

A company has a merit pay plan based on the relative performances of workers teams. Each worker is a team gets the same wage as other team members, but those in more productive teams get higher wages. Which of the following would NOT explain why this incentive might be better than other methods for motivating workers to work harder?
A) If a worker works harder, it increases the productivity of other team members.
B) If a team works harder, it does not affect the productivity of other teams.
C) One worker can easily sabotage the productivity of other workers.
D) One team can easily sabotage the productivity of other teams.

Answers

Answer:

C) One worker can easily sabotage the productivity of other workers.

Explanation:

This is a form of compensation by merit that comprises the performance of a team as a whole, so this is a way of motivating both group work and individual work.

In the scenario above, we can see that this compensation plan would be effective in leveraging the performance of individual workers, and of teams, because if each member of the team is more productive, it will benefit the team as a whole. And this method will not affect the productivity of other teams, as each team will be encouraged and engaged to do the best job possible to achieve merit pay.

The alternative that does not correspond to the question that this incentive may be better than other methods to motivate workers to work harder, is the one that says that a worker can sabotage the productivity of other workers, as that worker is also likely to be engaged in not sabotaging the work of other team members, as the remuneration bonuses depend on the effort of the entire team to work together, and not just one employee.

Answers

Answer: B.  $1,050  more than expected.

Explanation:

The company originally planned to have revenue resulting from 30 customers and charging $30 for an estimated 33 hours.

Estimated revenue was;

= 30 * 30 * 3

= $2,700

However, in actuality, they sold to 20 more customers than estimated but only spent 2.5 hours each.

Number of customers = 30 + 20

= 50 customers

Actual revenue

= 50 * 30 * 2.5

= $3,750

Difference is;

= 3,750 - 2,700

= $1,050 more

Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.

Earnings per Share, Price-Earnings Ratio, Dividend Yield The following information was taken from the financial statements of Tolbert Inc. for December 31 of the current fiscal year:

Common stock, $25 par value (no change during the year) $5,500,000
Preferred $5 stock, $100 par (no change during the year) 3,000,000

The net income was $502,000 and the declared dividends on the common stock were $55,000 for the current year. The market price of the common stock is $13.60 per share. For the common stock

Determine:
a. the earnings per share
b. the price-earnings ratio
c. the dividends per share
d. the dividend yield.

Answers

Answer:

a. the earnings per share  is $2.28

b. the price-earnings ratio is 5.96 times

c. the dividends per share  is $0.25

d. the dividend yield is 1.84%

Explanation:

a. the earnings per share

Earning per share is the net earning of the company against each outstanding share.

Earning per share = Net Income / Numbers of Outstanding shares

Earning per share = $502,000 / ($5,500,000/$25)

Earning per share = $502,000 / 220,000 = $2.28

b. the price-earnings ratio

Price earning ratio determines the impact of net income on market value of the share.

Price earning Ratio = Market Pice of stock / Earning per share

Price earning Ratio = $13.60 / $2.28

Price earning Ratio = 5.96

c. the dividends per share

Dividend per share is the value of dividend paid to each outstanding common share.

Dividend per share = Dividend declared / Numbers of outstanding shares

Dividend per share = $55,000 / 220,000 shares

Dividend per share = $0.25 per share

d. the dividend yield.

Dividend yield is the ratio of dividend per share and Market price per share.

Dividend Yield = Dividend Per share / Market price per share

Dividend Yield = $0.25 / $13.60 = 0.0184 = 1.84%

b) Will dropping DVDs add $41,000 to the operating income?

No, dropping the DVDs product line will decrease operating income by $31,000, resulting in a total loss of $40,000. Even though the DVDs product line by itself is not profitable, it absorbs a large percentage of the fixed costs and if you get rid of it, all the fixed costs will be absorbed by the Blue-rays product line.

1. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price at official exchange rates? ___________ Are products bought from Stan a good deal?
2. You are a tourist in Stan. Something you wish to buy costs 100 rupees. What is the price if you could buy at the equilibrium exchange rate?
3. Will foreigners want to demand Stan’s rupees to buy goods at the official rate? Explain.
4. Will people in Stan want to buy U.S. goods at the official exchange rates? Will they being supplying or demanding their rupees?
5. Will the monetary authorities in Stan have to buy up a surplus of their currency or sell their currency to meet a shortage of their currency to keep the exchange rate at 0.50 dollars per rupee?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. At 0fficial exchange rate:

100 * 0.5 = $50

what I want to buy would be purchased at $50

at market exchange rate:

0.25 x 100 = $25

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.

2. at equilibrium exchange rate:

100 x 0.25% = $25

the price is $25

3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.

4. Stan's currency is obviously overvalued. the people from this country now has increased purchasing power so they can purchase goods in dollars, therefore they would be supplying their currency.

5. They will have to buy up the surplus of rupees so that they can easily keep up with maintaining the rupee at half a dollar.

Answers

Answer:

Amount paid for goodwill is $24,900

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged and they first sorted before answering the question as follows:

                                                          Book Value            Fair Value

Current assets                                     $ 28,700               $ 22,300

Property, plant, and equipment             47,800                 52,600

Other assets                                             3,500                    5,800

Current liabilities                                      15,100                  14,900

Long-term liabilities                                 29,000                21,400

The explanation of the answer to the question are now provided as follows:

Generally, goodwill refers to an intangible asset of a company and it can be in different for such as intellectual property, brand, commercial secrets, and reputation.

Amount paid for goodwill of an acquired company can be estimated by deducting the fair value of  net identifiable assets acquired from the consideration paid.

For this question, fair value of net identifiable assets can be calculated as follows:

Particular                                                  Fair Value ($)  

Current assets                                               22,300

Property, plant, and equipment                   52,600

Other assets                                                    5,800

Current liabilities                                          (14,900)

Long-term liabilities                                      (21,400)  

Fair value of net asset                                44,400    

Therefore, we have:

Amount paid for goodwill = Cash consideration paid - Fair value of net asset =  $69,300 - $44,400 = $24,900

Fiedler's contingency model of leadership has made an important and lasting contribution to the study of leadership because it: Group of answer choices suggests that organizations need to engineer the situation to fit the leader's preferred style. is the only theory to adopt the implicit leadership perspective. was the first theory to recognize the existence of leadership substitutes. discovered that effective leaders do not have a common set of competencies. is the only leadership theory to adopt a contingency approach.

Answers

Answer:

suggests that organizations need to engineer the situation to fit the leader's preferred style.

Explanation:

Fiedler is of the view that a person's leadership style is a product of experiences throughout their lifetime. So it is difficult to change it.

He suggested that instead of teaching a particular leadership style and forcing people to align with them, it is better to adjust the situation to an individual's leadership style.

The weakness of this is that the leader may be more effective in a particular situation and weak in another one

Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor

Explanation:

To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.

The marginal revenue of the last bowl of soup a restaurant (in a perfectly competitive market) produced was $11 and its marginal cost was $4. Each time the restaurant produces an additional bowl of soup the marginal cost increases by 20% relative to the previous bowl. The restaurant should:

Answers

Answer:

The restaurant should:

decrease its marginal cost in order to maintain the marginal profit and ensure that the marginal cost is not more than the average cost.

Explanation:

Company A's marginal cost represents the incremental costs incurred when the company produces an additional unit of its good or service.  This company's marginal cost is calculated by dividing the total change in the cost of producing more goods by the change in the number of goods produced.  For example, if the cost of production increases by $120 when additional 10 units of goods are produced, then the marginal cost = $12 ($120/10).

A $1,000 par value 10-year bond with a 10 percent coupon rate rec%ently sold for $900. The yield to maturity is:

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %  

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond  

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  

YTM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YTM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

n- years to maturity

YTM-?, C- 10%× 1000 =100, Face Value - 1000, P-900, n- 10

YTM = (100 + (1000-900)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 900) )  

YTM = 0.1158  × 100 = 11.58 %

Yield to Maturity = 11.58 %

Calculation of the average rate of return for this investment

Average rate of return (ARR) is a financial ratio that is used to determine the rate of return that is expected from an asset over its lifetime. ARR is calculated as the total income from the assets divided by the initial investment on the assets.

The average rate of return for this investment can be calculated as follows:

Total income form operations over five years = $100,000 + $40,000 + $40,000 $ $10,000 + $10,000 = $200,000

Average income = Total income form operations over five years / Number of years = $200,000 / 5 = $40,000

Average rate of return for this investment = Average income / Cost of Machine = $40,000 / $490,000 = 0.08, or 8%

Therefore, the average rate of return is 8%.

You own 10,000 shares of Microsoft stock. A good way to hedge the risk involved in owning this stock would be to buy some call options on Microsoft stock.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

If you want to hedge the risk of owning the stock then that would mean that you want to take measures to ensure that you don't lose out if prices fall.

A call option is not the way to do this because call options are bought with the expectations that prices will go up. If you buy call options then and the prices fall, you would make a loss on both the call options and the stock that you own.

A good way to hedge this would be to take Put options on the stock. Put options help you benefit if prices fall because you would be allowed to sell at a certain price unaffected by the fall in prices.

why must we always boil our drinking water during and after a cyclone has passed ​

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes following a disaster, a boil water alert is issued for areas connected to mains scheme water because the mains water may be unsafe to drink or cook with.

If a boil water alert has been issued, it is essential you follow this warning to prevent illness.

To prepare water for drinking and food preparation, you should heat the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute using a stove or kettle and then allow it to cool. This will help to kill any bacteria.

Be sure to keep children clear from any boiling water until the water has cooled down to room temperature.

Once it has cooled it should be placed in the fridge in a clean container with a lid.

Under no circumstances should you drink or cook with water that has not been boiled until the alert is lifted.

Alternatively you can use bottled water.
