Answer:
Annual interest rate = 8.23%
Explanation:
The annual interest rate i must have earn over the last 8 years to accomplish this goal is:
= ((25650/(9000*(1+6.1%)^7))^(1/8))-1
= ((25650/(9000*1.513588))^(1/8)) - 1
= ((25650/13622.29)^(1/8) - 1
= 1.882943323038931^(1/8) - 1
= 1.08231743862 - 1
= 0.08231743862
= 8.231743862%
= 8.23%

While under contract to play professional basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers, Billy Cunningham, an outstanding player, negotiated a three-year contract with the Carolina Cougars, another professional basketball team. The contract with the Cougars was to begin at the expiration of the contract with the 76ers. In addition to a signing bonus of $125,000, Cunningham was to receive under the new contract a salary of $100,000 for the first year, $110,000 for the second, and $120,000 for the third. The contract also stated that Cunningham "had special, exceptional and unique knowledge, skill and ability as a basketball player" and that Cunningham therefore agreed the Cougars could enjoin him from playing basketball for any other team for the term of the contract. In addition, the contract contained a clause prohibiting its assignment to another club without Cunningham’s consent. In 1971, the ownership of the Cougars changed, and Cunningham’s contract was assigned to Munchak Corporation, the new owners, without his consent. When Cunningham refused to play for the Cougars, Munchak Corporation sought to enjoin his playing for any other team. Cunningham asserts that his contract was not assignable. Was the contract assignable? Explain.
Answer:
Billy Cunningham and the Cougars
The contract was not assignable to another club.
But, the contract (assets and liabilities) can be inherited by a successor entity using the same club, the Cougars.
Explanation:
The contract was not assigned to another club, despite the change of ownership of the Cougars. Interestingly, the contract between Cunningham and Carolina Cougars was inheritable with the change of ownership of the Cougar Club from the formers owners, Carolina Cougars, to the new owners, Munchak Corporation. The clause prohibiting the contract's assignment to another club without Cunningham's consent was not violated.

Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on
Answer: Opposing side
Explanation:
Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.
Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.

Cullumber Corporation has announced that its net income for the year ended June 30, 2017, was $1,353,412. The company had EBITDA of $4,948,000, and its depreciation and amortization expense was equal to $1,128,000. The company's average tax rate is 34 percent. What was its interest expense
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Net income = $1,353,412
Tax rate is 34% hence the company's EBT amount is calculated as
EBT = $1,353,412 / 0.66 = $2,050,624.24
Add back Depreciation and amortization to the EBT
= $2,050,624.24 + $1,128,000
= $3,178,624.24
The difference between the above and EBITDA amount will be the interest expense for the year
= $4,948,000 - $3,178,624.24
= $1,769,375.76
Therefore, the interest expense is $1,769,375.76
Suppose that the total value of dividends to be paid by companies in the Narnian stock market index is $100 billion. Investors expect dividends to grow over the long term by 5% annually, and they require a 10% return. Now a collapse in the economy leads investors to revise their growth estimate down to 4%. By how much should market values change
Answer:
The correct answer is "16.67%".
Explanation:
Given:
Dividend,
= $100 billion
Rate of return,
= 10%
= 0.10
Growth rate,
= 5%
= 0.05
Now,
Market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{Dividend}{Rate \ of\ return-Growth \ rate}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.10-0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]2000 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
After collapse,
The market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{100}{(.10-.04)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{.06}[/tex]
= [tex]1666.67[/tex] ($)
Change in market value will be:
= [tex]2000-1666.67[/tex]
= [tex]333.33 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
hence,
The percentage change in market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{333.33}{2000}[/tex]
= [tex]16.67[/tex]%

A company uses return on investment (ROI) to measure the performance of its business units. The company manufactures and distributes consumer goods. Last year, management identified a possible shortage of raw materials. To mitigate this risk, a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory. As a result of this decision, ROI will A. Have an unpredictable change. B. Decrease. C. Increase. D. Not change.
Answer: B. Decrease
Explanation:
Return on investment refers to the ratio between the net income and investment. It should be noted that a high return on investment implies that the investment's gains compare favourably to the cost.
In this scenario, since a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory, this will lead to an increase in the cost of production which therefore will reduce the return in investment.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

A popular hotel has continued to lose business in its room service food sales over the last five years. Using the Six Sigma DMAIC process explain what you would do in each step of the process to improve the sales - provide relevant, practical details. What statistics would you apply and why?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Using the Six Sigma DMAIC process, I will explain what I would do in each step of the process to improve the sales.
DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and control.
What I would do first is, of course, define the nature of the problem. To define exactly what is the root of the drop in sales in the hotel. That would allow me to establish proper goals and define a strategy to implement. If a need to do surveys to customers or unsatisfied clients, I would do that. Listening to customer feedback would provide the necessary information.
Then, I have to measure the performance of my employees. Monitoring and evaluate the productivity of the people who work in the organization.
I have to analyze if the productivity ratio of each employee to know if they are performing to the maximum of their capabilities.
In this case, I could use a Pareto chart or the 80-20 rule, to assess productivity in the company.
I have to pay attention to the causes of poor performance and poor quality service. There is an interesting analysis called Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that can be useful in this case.
Once identified and eliminated the root or causes of the problems, then it comes de Improve the process to enhance the performance in every area of the organization. I would have to get people on the same page and focus on one problem at a time to doing things right.
Another model that could be useful in this scenario would be Design of Experiments, commonly known as DOE, which helps resolve complex issues
Finally, the control of everything implementation and solution to confirm it has been established the right way with the desired results. This could be part of the continuing Quality Control process- The poke yoke system would be a good option to be contemplated.
ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC
Answer:
the net present value is -$32,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below;
= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash
= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000
= $43,000 - $75,000
= -$32,000
Hence, the net present value is -$32,000

In order to update a production process, a company can spend money now or four years from now. If the amount now would be $20,000, what equivalent amount could the company spend four years from now at a compound interest rate of 15% per year?(All the alternatives presented below were calculated using compound interest factor tables including all decimal places
Answer: $34,980.13
Explanation:
The amount that the company will spend 4 years from now is simply the future value of the amount that it can spend today.
The amount to be spent today is $20,000 so the amount to be spent 4 years from now is the future value of $20,000:
= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years
= 20,000 * ( 1 + 15%)⁴
= $34,980.13

During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00
Answer:
d. $240.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?
2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)
2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)
2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units
2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;
2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125
2005 selling price per unit= $240
Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240
Crane Company receives a $74,000, 5-year note bearing interest of 5% (paid annually) from a customer at a time when the discount rate is 6%.
Required:
What is the present value of the note received by Crane?
Answer: $70,882.98
Explanation:
Present value of note = Present value of interest payments + Present value of face value
Present value of interest payment:
First calculate the interest:
= 5% * 74,000
= $3,700
This amount is constant so is an annuity
Present value = 3,700 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 5 years, 6%
= 3,700 * 4.2124
= $15,585.88
Present value of face value :
= 74,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵
= $55,297.10
Present value of note:
= 15,585.88 + 55,297.10
= $70,882.98

Answer and Explanation:
