5. Suppose that a firm is in an industry which has a very rapid rate of growth (in sales and output), and is characterized by technological change and innovation. Firms attempt to maximize profits causing new firms to enter the industry attracted by profit potential. The result is that profits are competed away, leading to even greater innovation and change. Is there a limit to this continuous change

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If we use high tech industry as our subject here, I would say that there is no limit to continuous change. We can look at he last 45 years and ever since Steve Jobs developed the Apple I, PCs have continuously evolved into different products and their rate of technological evolution has currently increased. Any modern smartphone is hundreds of times more powerful than the first PCs, they are even more powerful than huge computers that existed back then. Currently high tech companies are trying to develop AI, and who knows what after. The only problem is that project lives tend to be very short, but that is part of the game. The profit margins of the firms that are successful are huge, just look at how Apple became the first company to be worth more than 2 trillions.

Northwest Fur Co. started 2021 with $105,000 of merchandise inventory on hand. During 2021, $510,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 3/15, n/45. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. Northwest paid freight charges of $8,900. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $3,700 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $362,000. Northwest uses a perpetual inventory system. What is ending inventory assuming Northwest uses the gross method to record purchases

Answers

Answer:

The ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011

Explanation:

Purchases = Net purchases + Freight inwards

Purchases = 491,111 + 8,900

Purchases = 500,011

When Net purchase = Gross Purchase - Purchase return - Discount

Net purchase = 510,000 - 3,700- 15,189

Net purchase = 491,111

Working

Discount = (Purchases - Purchase return) × Discount rate

Discount = (510,000 - 3,700) * 3%

Discount = 15,189

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchases− Cost of good sold

Ending inventory = (105,000 + 500,011) - 362,000

Ending inventory = $243,011

Thus, the ending inventory by using the gross method is $243,011.

Division A had ROI of 15% last year. The manager of Division A is considering an additional investment for the coming year. What step will the manager likely choose to take

Answers

Answer: c.Reject the investment if it returns less than 15% ROI.

Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet. Product costs are commonly made up of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Period costs include selling and administrative expenses.

A service company has which of the following costs

a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred

Answers

Answer:

b. Overhead Costs

d. Expensed in the period incurred

Explanation:

-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.

-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.

-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.

-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.

According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.

On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.

Answers

Answer:

Trend- % change in sales =  34.64%

Explanation:

Trend analysis entails determining the performance of a business over time by comparing its performance data from one period to another. The aim of trend analysis is to identify the behavior of a set of ratios over a period of time by comparing them across different years.

To determine the trend for a particular data, we use the formula below

% Change in variable =

(Current year figure - Previous year figure)/Previous year figure × 100

DATA

Current year figure  for sales (2017) - 450,000

Previous year figure for sale (2016) - 688,500

% change in sales =   (450,000 -688,500)/688,500 × 100 = 34.64%

% change in sales =  34.64%

This implies that the company made sales in 2017 which is 34.64% less than that made in 2016

Assume all current items are two months in duration. Net Income for Year 2 was $18,000. Assume all errors are discovered in August of Year #3. The Year #2 books are closed. The net effect on Year #3 Beginning Retained Earnings caused by the August Year #3 correcting journal entries was:

a. $5,500
b. $6,500
c. $6,000
d. $8,500
e. $4,500

Answers

Answer:

e. $4,500

Explanation:

Year            Depreciation overstated         Prepaid expense omitted

1                              $2,500                                $3,000

2                             $4,000                                $2,000

Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 = $23,000

This means that year 2's net income was understated by $5,000.

But year 1's net income was overstated by = $2,500 - $3,000 = -$500.

The adjustment on the retained earnings account should be $5,000 - $500 = $4,500

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard: Direct materials 6 pounds $4.30 per pound $25.80

Actual= Jackson purchased 145,600 pounds of direct material at a total cost of $655,200.

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 655,200/145,600= $4.5

Direct material price variance= (4.3 - 4.5)*145,600

Direct material price variance= $29,120 unfavorable

Gabriele Enterprises has bonds on the market making annual payments, with eleven years to maturity, a par value of $1,000, and selling for $982. At this price, the bonds yield 7.6 percent.

Required:
What must the coupon rate be on the bonds?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 7.35 percent

Explanation:

N(Number of periods) = 11years

I/Y(Yield to maturity) = 7.6 percent

PV(present value or market price) = $982

PMT( coupon payment) = ?

FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.

We are using a Financial calculator for this.

N= 11; I/Y = 7.6; PV = -$982; FV= $1,000; CPT PV= $73.52

Therefore, coupon rate is ($73.52/$1,000) x 100 percent

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.

Answers

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

The direct flotation costs associated with the issue are $725,000 and the indirect costs are $445,000. How many shares need to be sold?

Answers

Answer: 2653438 shares

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, the following can be deduced:

The share price will be:

= $23.70 × (1 - 7.5%)

= $23.70 × (1 - 0.075)

= $23.70 × 0.925

= $21.9225

The money that will be raised will be:

= 57,000,000 + 725,000 + 445,000

= $58,170,000

The number of shares that are needed to be sold will be:

= $58,170,000/$21.9225

= 2653438 shares

Explain how growth in the demand for​ Australia's natural resources would affect the demand for Australian dollars in the foreign exchange market. Explain how the supply of Australian dollars would change.

Answers

Answer:

The question here is that of the balance of trade and the principles of demand and supply.  

According to the Economics principles of demand and supply, when demand is high, prices follow in the same direction and the currency appreciates in value.

So, on one hand, when the demand for Australia's natural resources increases, because the legal tender recognised within Australia's borders is its own currency, trading partners are forced to convert from their currency into the Australian dollars thus creating an increased demand for the currency.

On the other hand, if the value of a countrys imports is more than the value of its export transactions, the opposite would happen, that is, its currency depreciates or loses value.

Yan Yan Corp. has a $3,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 5.2 percent paid semiannually and 25 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.8 percent. What is the price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

$3,173.63

Explanation:

For computing the price of the bond we need to apply the present value i.e to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Future value = $3,000

Rate of interest = 4.8% ÷ 2 = 2.4%

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

PMT = $3,000 × 5.2% ÷ 2  = $78

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the price of the bond is $3,713.63

Green Inc. made no adjusting entry for accrued and unpaid employee wages of $38,000 on December 31. This error would Multiple Choice Understate assets by $38,000. Overstate net income by $38,000. Understate net income by $38,000. Have no effect on net income.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B. Overstate net income by $38,000.

Explanation:

Accrued expense is an expense that has been enjoyed or incurred but has been paid for. Examples of an accrued expense are unpaid wages/salary, unpaid electricity bill etc.

Usually, the adjusting entry for accrued expense is to debit the expense and debit increases expense while credit decreases it. Since there is no adjusting entry, that means no expense is being recognized on the income statement for this transaction. Hence, the net income increases (overstated). because ordinarily expense reduces net income.

hello some details/parts of your question are missing attached below is the missing part

answer : A ) = 24.13%

              B ) =  0.1084, The preceding data series represents a SAMPLE        

              C ) =  0.4494

Explanation:

A) The average realized  return on FF stock can be calculated as

= 24% + 16.15% + 29% +39.9% + 12.35% / 5

= 24.13%

B) The preceding data series represents a SAMPLE  standard deviation BECAUSE RETURNS WERE MADE ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS

and the sample standard deviation is calculated as

[tex]s^2 = \frac{summation ( x - mean vale)^2}{N-1}[/tex]

[tex]S^2 = \frac{0.0470383}{ 5 -1 }[/tex]  =   0.01175056

s = [tex]\sqrt{0.01175056}[/tex] = 0.1084

C) coefficient of variation

coefficient of variation = standard deviation / mean

                                      = 0.1084 / 0.2413 = 0.4494

Answers

Answer: a) A measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the market

Explanation:

Beta is indeed a measure of the volatility of returns on an individual stock relative to the return on the market as a whole.

It is used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model which enables for the calculation of the stock's expected return.

Market Beta is always 1. Therefore betas measure shows how much more or less volatile than the market return, the stock return is. For instance, a beta of 2 means that the stock's returns are twice as volatile as the markets and a beta of 0.5 means the returns are only half as volatile as the market.

A stock had returns of 15.51 percent, 22.47 percent, −8.68 percent, and 9.43 percent over four of the past five years. The arithmetic average return over the five years was 12.71 percent. What was the stock return for the missing year?

Answers

Answer:

24.82%

Explanation:

Arithmetic average = sum of observations / number of observations

Let x = the stock return for year 5

12.71 % = (15.51% + 22.47%  −8.68% + 9.43 + x) /5

Multiply both sides by 5

63.55% =  (5.51% + 22.47%  −8.68% + 9.43 + x)

63.55% = 38.73% + x

x =  63.55% - 38.73% = 24.82%
