Suppose Hyperpolis’s GDP increases by 15% and its inflation rate is 12%, while Superpolis’s GDP increases by 6% and its inflation rate is 3%. Assuming the population in both countries remained constant, which economy grew faster?

Answers

Answer: c) Both economies grew at the same rate

Explanation:

The faster growing economy would be the one that saw a greater increase in Real GDP than the other.

Real GDP growth = Nominal GDP growth - Inflation growth.

Hyperpolis Real GDP growth = 15% - 12%

Hyperpolis Real GDP growth = 3%

Superpolis Real GDP growth = 6% - 3%

Superpolis Real GDP growth = 3%

Both countries grew at the same rate of 3%.

The smartest thing a firm involved in an oligopoly market could do is to cut their prices and capture more of the market share from their competitors.

a) We learned in class that the best move would be to raise prices.

b) We also learned that cutting prices on an elastic demand curve will be a smart way of getting more revenues.

c) Cutting prices is no gaurantee of success. Indeed if the firm does capture more market share and customers, then their costs will go up and it will be harder for them because they will have lower profit margins - if they can earn any profit at all.

d) Both A and C are correct.

Answer:

Correct Answer:

c) Cutting prices is no gaurantee of success. Indeed if the firm does capture more market share and customers, then their costs will go up and it will be harder for them because they will have lower profit margins - if they can earn any profit at all.

Explanation:

An oligopoly market is a market form wherein a market or industry is dominated by a small group of large sellers. A pure monopoly maximizes profits by producing that quantity where marginal revenue = marginal cost. however, it is much more difficult for an oligopoly to determine at what output it can maximize its profit.

a. $91,561
b. $47,773
c. $43,673
d. $84,788

Answers

Answer:

The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36  

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of bond can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

Semi annul interest payment  

= 10% × 81000 × 1/2 = 4050

Semi-annual yield = 8%/2= 4 % per six months  

Total period to maturity (in months)  

= (2 × 8) = 16 periods (Note the bond term is 8 yeras)  

PV of interest = 4050 × (1-1.04^(-16))/0.04 = 47,191.79

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

Assuming a redemption value equals to the nominal value =

PV of RV = 81,000 × 1.04^-16 =  43,246.56  

Step 3 :Total Present Value

Total prent value =  43,246.56  + 47,191.79721  =  90,438.36

The Present Value of the bond at the market rate = $90,438.36

Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this ________________gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should ______________________.

Answers

Answer: d. inflationary; decrease government purchases or increase taxes

Explanation:

Suppose Real GDP is $700 billion and Natural Real GDP is $620 billion. To eliminate this inflationary gap, Keynesian theory indicates that government should decrease government purchases or increase taxes.

The Real GDP is greater than the Natural real GDP which is the potential GDP. When that happens the Economy is said to be overheated and producing above its limits as Aggregate Demand is above Aggregate Supply.

To combat this the Government according to Keynes should embark on policy that will reduce economic activity. The Government can use Contractionary Fiscal Policy that will see it reduce its spending and/or increase taxes. Both of these will have the effect of reducing the amount of money in the economy left for both investment and consumption and cause a fall in the Aggregate Demand.

Suspect Corp. issued a bond with a maturity of 30 years and a semiannual coupon rate of 6 percent 4 years ago. The bond currently sells for 95 percent of its face value. The book value of the debt issue is $45 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 15 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $50 million and the bonds sell for 54 percent of par. The company’s tax rate is 40 percent.Required:a. What is the company’s total book value of debt?b. What is the company’s total market value of debt? c. What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of each point is shown below:-

But before that we need to do the following calculations

First Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $45,000,000

Market Value = 95% × $45,000,000

= $42,750,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 6%

Semiannual Coupon Rate = 3%

= 3% × $45,000,000

= $1,350,000

Time to Maturity = 26 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 52

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$42,750,000 = $1,350,000 × PVIFA(i%, 52) + $45,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 52)

N = 52

PV = -42750000

PMT = 1350000

FV = 45000000

I = 3.20%

Semiannual YTM = 3.20%

Annual YTM = 2 × 3.20%

Annual YTM = 6.40%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 6.40% × (1 - 0.40)

= 3.84%

Second Issue of Bonds:

Face Value = $50,000,000

Market Value = 54% × $50,000,000

= $27,000,000

Time to Maturity = 15 years

Semiannual Period to Maturity = 30

Let semiannual YTM be i%

$27,000,000 = $50,000,000 × PVIF(i%, 30)

Using a financial calculator:

N = 30

PV = -27000000

PMT = 0

FV = 50000000

I = 2.075%

Semiannual YTM = 2.075%

Annual YTM = 2 × 2.075%

= 4.15%

Before-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15%

After-tax Cost of Debt = 4.15% × (1 - 0.40)

= 2.49%

a. The total book value of debt is

Total Book Value of Debt = $45,000,000 + $50,000,000

= $95,000,000

b. The total market value of debt is

Total Market Value of Debt = $42,750,000 + $27,000,000

= $69,750,000

c. The estimate of the aftertax cost of debt is

Weight of first Issue of Debt is

= $42,750,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.6129

Weight of second issue of Debt

= $27,000,000 ÷ $69,750,000

= 0.3871

So,  

Estimated After-tax Cost of Debt is

= 0.6129 × 3.84% + 0.3871 × 2.49%

= 3.32%

Answers

Answer:

Lake would record goodwill of $365,000

Explanation:

Fair value of net assets = Fair value of current asset + Fair value of property, plant and equipment

Fair value of net assets = $125,000 + $765,000

Fair value of net assets = $890,000

Fair market value = Fair value of net assets - Liabilities assumed

Fair market value = $890,000 - 255,000

Fair market value = $635,000

Goodwill = Consideration - Fair market value

= $1,000,000 - $635,000

= $365,000

Hence, the amount of goodwill is $365,000.

Answers

Answer:

a. $1,525 million

b. 1.50 times

c. 29 %

Explanation:

Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

                          = $4,575 million - $3,050 million

                          = $1,525 million

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

A company purchased property for a building site. The costs associated with the property were: What portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building?

Answers

Answer:

The question is incomplete, below is a possible match of the complete question:

a company purchased property for a building site. the costs associated with the property were:

purchase price $175,00

real estate commisions $15,000

legal fees 800

expenses of clearing the land 2,000

expenses to remove old building 1,000

what portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building?

Answer:

cost allocated to land = $193,800

cost allocated to new building = $0

Explanation:

The expenses associated with the ost of land purchase are all the necessary expenses made in the purchase of the land and in getting the land ready for use. These include legal fees, cost of clearing the land, cost of removing old structures etc. Therefore cost allocated to land is calculated as follows:

cost of land = purchase price + real estate commissions + legal fees + expenses of clearing the land + expenses to remove old building.

cost of land = 175,000 + 15,000 + 800 + 2,000 + 1,000 = $193,800

∴ cost of land = $193,800

cost of new building = $0

There is no transaction associated directly with setting up the new building, all the costs were associated with the acquisition of the land, hence the cost os the new building is $0

The infant industry argument says that Question 7 options:

tariffs should be imposed to allow a new industry in a country to get established.

Explanation:

The argument for the infant industry protectionism suggests that the imposition of tariffs on imports gives a new industry in the country the required breathing space it requires to develop, grow, and be established before it can face competitive forces from outside, which imports imply.  Since newly formed industries often do not command the economies of scale and learning experience that their competitors from other countries may have, therefore, they need to be singularly shaded from external competition until they have achieved similar economies of scale and learning curve.  But, can they attain any competitive edge without learning from competitors?

A stock has had returns of 12 percent, 19 percent, 21 percent, −12 percent, 26 percent, and −5 percent over the last six years. What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

Explanation:

Geometric average return

This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .

Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility

The formula below

Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n

Geometric Average return =  

(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168

Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%

Geometric return = 9.23%

Average rate of return

The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns

Average return = sum of return / No of returns

(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

Why must corporate managers use multiple techniques of project evaluation? Which technique is most commonly used and why? Describe several ways you may be able to use the techniques above as you progress in your professional career.

Answers

Answer:

The most important technique for project evaluation is the net present value (NPV) which compares the present value of discounted cash flows against the  initial costs associated with the project. The other two most important techniques used are the payback period (either regular or discounted) and the internal rate of return (IRR).

Depending on the company's needs, sometimes one technique might be used instead of others. E.g. technological firms generally use the payback period because most of their projects have a very short life, 1 or 2 years. Other times, you might have to compare different projects and even if they are not mutually exclusive, no company can dispose of money freely. It only invests in certain projects that have a minimum required rate of return.

But the basic technique, the NPV, is the most relevant in a sense that no project with a negative NPV should be accepted.

Answer:

Accounting rate of return =  24.10%

Explanation:

The accounting rate of return is the average annual income expressed as a percentage of the average investment.  

The simple rate of return can be calculated using the two formula below:  

Accounting rate of return  

= Annual operating income/Average investment × 100  

Average investment = (Initial cost + scrap value)/2  

Average profit = Total profit over investment period / Number of years

Total profit = 360,000 + 360,000 + 600,000 +1,080,000, + 1,200,000 + 2,520,000  + 1,444,000 =  7,564,000.00  

Average annual profit = 7,564,000/7 = 1,080,571.43  

Average Investment  = 9,000,000/2= 4500000

Accounting rate of return = 1,080,571.43  /4,500,000 × 100 = 24.10%

Accounting rate of return =  24.10%

Webcom. Inc. had the following current assets and current liabilities at the end of two recent years:

d. What is the Quick Ratio for the preceding year?
e. What is the Working Capital for the current year?
f. What is the Working Capital for the preceding year?

Answers

Answer:

a. Current Ratio for the current year = 1.18

b. Current Ratio for the preceding year = 0.97

c. Quick Ratio for the current year = 0.98

d. Quick Ratio for the preceding year = 0.76

e. Working Capital for the current year = $3,231

f. Working Capital for the preceding year = –$513

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, we first state the following formula to be used before answering the question:

Current asset = Cash and cash equivalents + Short-term investments, at cost + Accounts and notes receivable, net + Inventories + Prepaid expenses and other current assets ................... (1)

Current liabilities = Short-term obligations + Accounts payable ................. (2)

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ............................ (3)

Quick Ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) / Current liabilities ............... (4)

Working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities ........................... (5)

We now calculate the answers as follows:

a. What is the Current Ratio for the current year?

Using equation (1), we have:

Current asset for the current year (in millions) = $8,297 + $422 + $7,041 + $3,581 + $1,479 = $20,820

Using equation (2), we have:

Current liabilities for the current year (in millions) = $4,815 + $12,774 = $17,589

Using equation (3), we have:

Current ratio for the current year = $20,820 / $17,589 = 1.18

b. What is the Current Ratio for the preceding year?

Using equation (1), we have:

Current asset for the preceding year (in millions) = $4,067 + $458 + $6,912 + $3,827 + $2,377 = $17,641

Using equation (2), we have:

Current liabilities for the preceding year (in millions) = $6,205 + $11,949 = $18,154

Using equation (3), we have:

Current ratio for the preceding year = $17,641 / 18,154 = 0.97

c. What is the Quick Ratio for the current year?

Using equation (4) and calculations from part a, we have:

Quick Ratio for the current year = ($20,820 -  3,581) / $17,589 = 0.98

d. What is the Quick Ratio for the preceding year?

Using equation (4) and calculations from part b, we have:

Quick Ratio for the preceding year = ($17,641 - 3,827) / $18,154 = 0.76

e. What is the Working Capital for the current year?

Using equation (5) and calculations from part a, we have:

Working Capital for the current year = $20,820 -  $17,589 =$3,231

f. What is the Working Capital for the preceding year?

Using equation (5) and calculations from part b, we have:

Working Capital for the preceding year = $17,641 - $18,154 = –$513

The strategic appeal of related diversification is that it Multiple Choice allows a firm to reap the competitive advantage benefits of skills transfer, lower costs (due to economies of scope), cross-business use of a powerful brand name, and/or cross-business collaboration in creating stronger competitive capabilities. is less capital intensive than unrelated diversification because related diversification emphasizes getting into cash cow businesses (as opposed to cash hog businesses). involves diversifying into industries having the same kinds of key success factors. is less risky than unrelated diversification because it avoids the acquisition of cash hog businesses. facilitates the achievement of greater economies of scale since the company only enters those businesses that serve the same types of buyer groups and/or buyer needs.

Answers

Answer: allows a firm to reap the competitive advantage benefits of skills transfer, lower costs (due to economies of scope), cross-business use of a powerful brand name, and/or cross-business collaboration in creating stronger competitive capabilities.

Explanation:

Related diversification is when an organization expands its business by producing products which are similar to what it currently produces. In related diversification, there's identical product lines. An example is a computer manufacturer producing calculators.

Organizations that go into related diversification enjoys lower costs and competitive advantage over their counterparts.
