Answer:
$1,950,000
Explanation:
Note the company has a margin per unit cost and investment cost, where
investment cost = $1,500,000
+
margin per unit cost = $450,000 (30,000 x $15)
Thus, total cost = $1,950,000. Since companies do not want to make loses, but may allow for break-even, the lowest price to quote should not be lesser than the total cost of $1,950,000.
A share of stock is now selling for $120. It will pay a dividend of $10 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1. What must investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year? Assume the risk-free rate is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 18%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
Explanation:
To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.
The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
rRF is the risk free rate rM is the return on market
r = 0.06 + 1 * (0.18 - 0.06)
r = 0.18 or 18%
Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price today D1 is expected dividend for the next period g is the growth rate in dividends
Plugging in the available variables, g is,
120 = 10 / (0.18 - g)
120* (0.18 - g) = 10
21.6 - 120g = 10
g = (10 - 21.6) / -120
g = 0.096667 or 9.6667% rounded off to 9.67%
So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.
P1 = 10 * (1+0.0967) / (0.18 - 0.0967)
P1 = 131.6566627 rounded off to $131.66
based on the characteristics of constructive conflicts, which of the following would help a manager create constructive conflicts during a debate?
1. Support the weaker members during a debate
2. Explain conflict in terms of interpersonal incompatabilities
3. Support the stronger memebrs during the debate
4. Keep the debate focused on the issue
5. Maintain competitive oreientation on the debate
Answer:
The correct answer is: 4. Keep the debate focused on the issue
Explanation:
A constructive conflict can be understood as different points of view that arise in an organization on the same issue.
Therefore, it can be a great way for the organization to enrich itself with new ideas, thoughts and different ways of carrying out actions that will help the organization to achieve its objectives and goals.
Therefore, the most suitable alternative for building a constructive conflict during a debate is for the manager to always focus on the issue discussed, and not for the debate to turn to support due to interpersonal relationships.

The Peabody Company has 7 year MACRS property with an original cost basis of $1,700,000. Calculate the ending book value at Year 4.
Answer: $531,080
Explanation
The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is a depreciation schedule for assets and can be based on various year denominations. This one is of a 7 year type and the rates are specified below;
The ending book value at the end of year 4 would be;
= Original Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= 1,700,000 - (1,700,000 * ( 14.29% + 24.49% + 17.49% + 12.49%))
= 1,700,000 - (1,700,000 * 68.76%)
= 1,700,000 - 1,168,920
= $531,080

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.
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%

Since Cross trainer shoes had $360,000 this means that cross trainer shoes would contribute more than Running shoe which had $340,000 because Cross trainer shoes contribution margin is higher.
A ________ externality exists when the number of customers who purchase a good or use it influences the quantity demanded.
Answer: network
Explanation:
Network externality simply states that demand for a good or service has to do with how other people demand for that particular good or service. It means consumer's buying patterns are influenced by the purchase of others buying the product.
Therefore, a network externality exists when the number of customers who purchase a good or use it influences the quantity demanded.
Compared to countries with less economic freedom, countries with more economic freedom achieve higher per person income levels, but they also have higher poverty rates.grow more rapidly, but the income levels of the poor are largely unaffected by the higher growth rates of the freer economies.achieve both higher income levels per person and lower rates of poverty.grow less rapidly and experience higher poverty rates.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Achieve higher per person income levels, but they also have higher poverty rates.
Explanation:
What happens is that in countries with greater economic freedom, there is the free market, which is an economic form of the capitalist system that allows trade to be conducted free of external forces, being guided by the law of supply and demand. This system allows greater economic interaction with internal and external economic agents whose main objective is to generate profits.
The strong industrialization resulting from the capitalist system causes the greatest economic growth in a country and can increase the levels of per capita income, but it also generates greater social inequality that directly affects the growth of poverty rates. Generally, the main indicators of economic growth, such as GDP, have some limitations to indicate the distribution of wealth because they do not consider variables that include the well-being of the population.

An annuity provides for 30 annual payments. The first payment of 100 is made immediately and the remaining payments increase by 8 percent per annum. Interest is calculated at 13.4 percent per annum. Calculate the present value of this annuity.
Answer:
$1423.38
Explanation:
number of payments ( number of years )(n) = 30
first payment = $100
interest calculated at : 13.4 % = 0.134
increment rate : 8 percent = 0.08
we can calculate the present value using this Equation
= (p / (r-g)) * [1 - [(1+g)/(1+r)]^n ]
where :
p / (r-g) = 100 / (0.134 - 0.08 ) = $1852
[1 - ((1+g)/(1+r)]^n ) = (1 - ((1.08/1.134)^30 ) = 0.7686
hence the present value of this annuity = $1852 * 0.7686 = $1423.38
Note :
p ( first principal payment ) = $100
r ( calculated interest ) = 13.4% = 0.134
g ( increment interest ) = 8 % = 0.08

b. How much gain or loss will Sally recognize on the contribution?
c. Should Sally consider selling the property to the partnership rather than contributing it?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer:
a) $0
Generally, partners recognize gain on property contributed to a partnership only when the cash they are deemed to receive from debt relief exceeds their basis in the partnership prior to the deemed distribution. Harry did not have any debt relief.
b) $0.
Partners may never recognize loss when property is contributed to a partnership even when they are relieved of debt.
c) Sally should consider selling the property to the partnership rather than contributing it. By selling the property, she could recognize the $50,000 built-in loss on the equipment.

Answer:
Best case
Price 2,640
Variable cost per unit 352
Fixed cost 1.28 million
Quantity 108,000 units
Worst case
Price 1,760
Variable cost per unit 528
Fixed cost 1.92 million
Quantity 72,000 units
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the best case expenses would be 20% lower while the incomes will be 20% higher.
Calculation for the price
Price = 2,200 ×(1+0.20)
Price=2,200×1.2
Price = 2,640
Calculation for Variable cost per unit
Variable cost per unit = 440× (1-0.20)
Variable cost per unit=440×0.80
Variable cost per unit= 352
Calculation for fixed cost
Fixed cost = 1.60 million ×(1-0.20)
Fixed cost=1.60 million× 0.80
Fixed cost= 1.28 million
Calculation for the Quantity
Quantity = 90,000 × (1+0.20)
Quantity =90,000×1.2
Quantity=108,000units
Therefore, Best case will be:
Price 2,640
Variable cost per unit 352
Fixed cost 1.28 million
Quantity 108,000units
Based on the information given in the worst case expenses would be 20% higher while incomes would be 20% lower.

Price=2,200 ×0.8
Price=1,760
Calculation for the Variable cost per unit
Variable cost per unit = 440 × (1+0.20)
Variable cost per unit=440× 1.2
Variable cost per unit= 528
Calculation for Fixed cost
Fixed cost = 1.60 million × (1+0.20)
Fixed cost=1.60 million×1.2
Fixed cost= 1.92 million
Calculation for the Quatity
Quantity = 90,000 ×(1-0.20)
Quantity=90,000×0.8

The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 20 percent a year for the next 4 years and then decreasing the growth rate to 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $2.00 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 5.70 percent
Answer:
Current market value =$40.6
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4
Year Present Value
1 2 × (1.2) ×(1.057)^(-1) = 2.27
2 2 × (1.2)^2×(1.057)^(-2)= 2.58
3 2 × (1.2)^3×(1.057)^(-3) = 2.93
4 2 × (1.2)^4×(1.057)^(-4) = 3.32
Total PV = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 1 to 4 = 11.10
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond
This will be done in two steps:
Step 1: PV (in year 4 terms) of dividends
( 2 × (1.2)^4× (1-0.05) )/(0.057--(0.05)) = 36.82
Step 2 : PV( in year 0 terms) of dividends
=PV in (year 4 terms)× (1+r)^-4
=36.82 × 1.057^(-4) = 29.50
PV of dividend from year 5 and beyond =29.50
Current market value = Total PV of dividend = 11.10 + 29.50 = $40.6
Current market value =$40.6
A stock is selling today for $40 per share. At the end of the year, it pays a dividend of $2 per share and sells for $44. a. What is the total rate of return on the stock?
Answer:
The total rate of return on the stock is 14%.
Explanation:
The sources of income from a stock are dividends and increase in its value. Therefore, the total rate of return on stock is calculated by dividing the addition of appreciation in the of the stock and dividends paid by the original stock price.
Therefore, the total rate of return on the stock can be calculated using the following formula:
Total rate of return = [(P1 - Po) + D] / Po .......................... (1)
Where;
P1 = Ending stock price = $44
Po = Initial stock price = $40
D = Dividend paid = $2
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Total rate of return = [(44 - 40) + 2] / 44
Total rate of return = [4 + 2] / 44
Total rate of return = 6 / 44
Total rate of return = 0.14, or 14%

Which of these conditions helped establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States
Question Completion:
Choices: Rapid improvements in transportation and communication; the production of goods for a cash market; and the use of inventions and innovations to produce goods for a mass market.
Answer:
The condition that helped to establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States is:
Rapid improvements in transportation and communication
Explanation:
Rapid improvements in transportation and communication spurred innovations. With innovations, capitalism was born. Innovations needed factories for mass production. In turn, according to American History, "factories and mass production increasingly displaced individual artisans and farmers," who survived at subsistent levels. Large farms grew and produced crops for distant markets, no longer only for family and local markets.

1. A research project began with the selection of women who had recently had abdominal surgery. The project matched those women with controls and continued with measurements of abdominal muscle strength for both groups every three months for a year. This project was: A. Prospective study B. Retrospective study C. Experimental study D. Cross sectional study
Answer:
Abdominal rectus diastasis is a condition where the abdominal muscles are separated by an abnormal distance due to widening of the linea alba causing the abdominal content to bulge. It is commonly acquired in pregnancies and with larger weight gains. Even though many patients suffer from the condition, treatment options are poorly investigated including the effect of physiotherapy and surgical treatment. The symptoms include pain and discomfort in the abdomen, musculoskeletal and urogynecological problems in addition to negative body image and impaired quality of life. The purpose of this review was to give an overview of treatment options for abdominal rectus diastasis.
Results: The first treatment step is physiotherapy. However, evidence is lacking on which regimen to use and success rates are not stated. The next step is surgery, either open or laparoscopic, and both surgical approaches have high success rates. The surgical approach includes different plication techniques. The recurrence and complication rates are low, complications are minor, and repair improves low back pain, urinary incontinence, and quality of life. Robotic assisted surgery might become a possibility in the near future, but data are still lacking.
Conclusions: Evidence on what conservatory treatment to use is sparse, and more research needs to be done. Both open and laparoscopic surgery have shown positive results. Innovative treatment by robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery has potential, however, more research needs to be done in this area as well. An international guideline for the treatment of rectus diastasis could be beneficial for patients and clinicians.

What is the difference between full absorption costing and variable costing?A. In full absorption costing, all of the non-manufacturing costs are expensed. In variable costing, all of the non-manufacturing expenses are included in the cost of the product.B. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product.C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.D. Variable costing must be used for external financial reports while full absorption costing can only be used for internal reporting.
Answer: C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.
Explanation:
Full absorption costing accounts for all the costs involved in making a product including the indirect and the direct costs. That means both variable costs like direct materials and direct labor as well as fixed costs like rent, and insurance are included in the cost of the product.
Variable costing on the other hand expenses fixed manufacturing overhead separately. As a result, Full absorption has a higher cost of inventory than does Variable costing.
ABC Corporation, after many profitable years, declares a one-time special cash dividend of $10.00 per share. After the announcement, the stock is trading at $100 per share. Your customer holds 1 ABC Jan 110 Call. As of the ex date, the customer will have:
Answer:
1 ABC Jan 100 Call
Explanation:
Although the OCC does not usually adjust the strike price of listed options for regular quarterly cash dividends. This is because they are known quantity that are segmented by the market into options premium.
For special cash dividends, they are not a frequent event hence market does not recognize them. This special cash dividend is $10 per share × 100 shares = $1,000 value per contract. It therefore means that the $1,000 value per contract will be adjusted.
The new strike price will be
= 110 - 10 cash dividend
= 100. It also means that the number of shares covered by the contract does not change.

Rye Corn
(Bushels per acre) (Bushels per acre)
Carlos 18 6
Deborah 28 7
___________ has an absolute advantage in the production of rye, and _________ has an absolute advantage in the production of corn. Carlos's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is___________ bushels of rye, whereas Deborah's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is ___________ bushels of rye. Because Carlos has a ___________ opportunity cost of producing corn than Deborah,____________ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn, and____________ has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
Answer:
Deborah
Deborah
3
4
lower
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.
Deborah has absolute advantage in the production of both rye and corn
The correct statements will be that
1. Carlos has an absolute advantage in the production of Rye
2. Deborah has an absolute advantage over the production of Corn.
3. Carlos' opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is 3 bushels of rye
4. Deborah's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of corn is 4 bushels of rye.
5. Carlos has a lower opportunity cost of producing corn than Deborah.
6. Deborah has a competitive advantage in the production of Corn.
7. Carlos has a competitive advantage in the production of Rye.
The production outputs of Carlos and Deborah suggests that Deborah is a more efficient farmer.
Production outputThe production output refers to the total outcome derived from the use of resources available at a given period of time, such that the two different outputs are comparable. Here, as the production output of Deborah is more in both the cases of production of rye and corn, it can be said that the production output of Deborah is more than Carlos.Hence, the correct statements regrading the production outputs of Carlos and Deborah are as aforementioned.
