B. The firms in this industry have constant returns to scale.
C. The firms in this industry have diseconomies of scale.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The firms in this industry have diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

Diseconomies of scale arise when the business expands so its cost per unit rises at the time when the output is also increased so ultimately the cost is also increased

in this, the firm experience excessive average cost that result in lower productivity as compared before when there is an increase in output

Therefore according to the given situation, the third option is correct as it fits  the given scenario

Answers

Answer:

a) Corporate Social Responsibility

This is a type of international private business that is self-regulated which helps a company to become socially responsible, that is, giving back to the society through philanthropic activities which may include volunteer work or environmental activism.

b) Off-Shoring

Offshoring is simply taking advantage of difference in the cost of production or labor to relocate a business to another country in order to get cheaper labor for manufacturing operations.

Typically, it moves the production of materials from a country where such materials are expensive to another country where the materials are cheap in order to save costs.

c) Business Sustainability

This is simply taking care of all the major facets of a business in order to ensure that the success they have enjoyed in the past is sustained.

These facets could include management of social and economic demands to ensure optimal performance.

A business that is sustainable has a very little negative impact, rather it impacts its immediate environment positively.

Assume that you have recently purchased 250 shares in an investment company. Upon examining the balance sheet, you note that the firm is reporting $320 million in assets, $60 million in liabilities, and 25 million shares outstanding. What is the net asset value (NAV) of these shares

Answers

Answer:

$10.4

Explanation:

250 shares was recently purchased in an investment company

The firm is reporting $320 million in assets

$60 million in liabilities

25 million shares outstanding

Therefore, the net asset value(NAV) of the shares can be calculated as follows

NAV = $320 million-$60 million/25 million shares

= 260/25

= $10.4

Hence the net asset value is $10.4

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 22%

Explanation:

Margin of Safety equals:

(Current sales level - break-even point) ÷ Current sales level

Break-even sales = $2,652,000 (10,608 units x $250 per unit)

Current sales = $3,400,000 (13,600 units x $250 per unit)

Therefore, Margin of Safety is:

($3,400,000 - $2,652,000) ÷ $3,400,000

= 0.22

Expressed as a percentage = 22%

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials 5.50 pounds $ 2.50 per pound.

Actual:

1. 10,600 were purchased for $2.40 per pound.

2. The company produced only 1,060 units, using 9,540 pounds of material.

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

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

Direct material price variance= (2.5 - 2.4)*10,600

Direct material price variance= $1,060 favorable

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

standard quantity= 1,060*5.5= 5,830

Direct material quantity variance= (5,830 - 9,540)*2.5

Direct material quantity variance= $9,275 unfavorable

Ivan incorporated his sole proprietorship by transferring inventory, a building, and land to the corporation in return for 100 percent of the corporation?s stock. The property transferred to the corporation had the following fair market values and adjusted bases:

FMV Adjusted Basis
Inventory $19,900 $37,000
Building 82,500 60,500
Land 82,750 50,250
Total $185,150 $147,750
The fair market value of the corporation's stock received in the exchange equaled the fair market value of the assets transferred to the corporation by Ivan. The transaction met the requirements to be tax-deferred under 351. (Any answer representing a loss should be entered as a negative number. Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

a. What amount of gain or loss does Ivan realize on the transfer of the property to his corporation?

b. What amount of gain or loss does Ivan recognize on the transfer of the property to his corporation?

c. What is Ivan's basis in the stock he receives in his corporation?

d. What is the corporation's adjusted basis in each of the assets received in the exchange?

e. Would the stock held by Ivan qualify as 1244 stock?

Answers

Answer:

a. Ivan realizes a gain of $37,400 on the transfer of the property to his corporation.

b. Ivan recognizes $0 gain on the transfer of the property to his corporation under tax deferred 351.

c. Ivan's basis in the stock he receives in his corporation is equal to $185,150, the fair market value.

d. The corporation's adjusted basis in each of the assets received in the exchange is as follows:

Inventory   $19,900

Building      82,500

Land           82,750

Total        $185,150

e. The stock held by Ivan would qualify as 1244 stock when it is disposed of by Ivan.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                     FMV        Adjusted Basis

Inventory   $19,900         $37,000

Building      82,500           60,500

Land           82,750           50,250

Total        $185,150        $147,750

Gain = FMV minus Adjusted Basis

= $185,150 - $147,750

= $37,400

b) Section 351(a) of the IRS Code "provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized if Ivan transfers property to his corporation solely in exchange for stock in the corporation and immediately after the exchange, Ivan is in control (as defined in § 368(c)) of the corporation."  Therefore, Ivan will not recognize any loss on the transfer.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

As Martha has the main home in Houston and in the current year she rented it for only 10 days, this means that house is rented for less than 14 days and will be still treated as her personal residence, therefore, no deduction will be available for Martha against her rental income. Martha's Adjusted gross income will be increased by an amount of $5,000.

Suppose you have ​$ cash today and you can invest it to become worth ​$ in years. What is the present purchasing power equivalent of this ​$ when the average inflation rate over the first years is ​% per​ year, and over the last years it will be ​% per​ year?

Answers

Answer: $900,599.04

Explanation:

The present purchasing power equivalent is the present worth of this investment.

The investment will earn 5% for the first 7 years and then 9% for the next 10.

As there are different rates, the present worth calculation will have to reflect that.

At the end of the first 7 years, the present worth of the invested amount given 10 more years of investing at 9%. The Present worth is;

= 3,000,000(Present worth factor, 9%, 10 years)

= 3,000,000 * 0.4224

= $1,267,200

Then what is the Present worth of $1,267,200 in the current year given that it will be invested for 7 years at 5% to get to $1,267,200.

= 1,267,200 (Present worth factor, 5%, 7 years)

= 1,267,200 * 0.7107

= $900,599.04

Muckenthaler Company sells product 2005WSC for $30 per unit. The cost of one unit of 2005WSC is $27, and the replacement cost is $26. The estimated cost to dispose of a unit is $3, and the normal profit is 40% of selling price. At what amount per unit should product 2005WSC be reported, applying lower-of-cost-or-market

Answers

Answer:

The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.

Explanation:

The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.

Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:

Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27

Replacement cost (RC) = $26

NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15

Cost per unit = $27

Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.

Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27,  by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.

What is the required monthly payment on a $350,000 mortgage? Assume a standard mortgage (360 months) with monthly payments. Use a nominal rate of 6.90%.

Answers

Answer:

EMI = $2,305

Explanation:

We can calculate Monthly payment on a $350,000 mortgage by using following formula of equated monthly installments. You just need to collect the data to input in the formula for further calculation.

Data

Principal amount = $350,000

Rate = 6.90% = 6.90%/12months = 0.00575

number pf periods = 360 months

Formula

EMI = [[tex]\frac{[P x R x (1+R)^{n} }{(1+R)^{n-1} }[/tex]]

P = Principal amount

R = Rate

n = number pf periods

Solution

EMI =[tex]\frac{[350,000 x0.00575 x ((1+0.00575)^{360-1}) ]}{1+0.00575)^{360-1}}[/tex]

EMI = $2,305

A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $400,000 and has $175,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $550,000. The old machine could be sold for $250,000. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $72,500 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $24,000 per year for eight years.

Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated May 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?

Answers

Answer:

Company A

a. Differential Analysis dated May 29

                                              Alternative 1           Alternative 2

Opportunity cost                       $250,000            $550,000

Variable production costs          580,000                192,000

Total cost                                  $830,000             $742,000

b. Sunk cost in this situation is: $225,000 ($400,000 - $175,000) cost of the old machine.

Explanation:

Company A's relevant cost for the old machine is the opportunity cost that it will lose if it continues with Alternative 1 or continued use of the old machine and the additional cost for the new machine for Alternative 2.  Also relevant is the variable production costs that would be incurred if the old or new machine is used.

Company A's sunk cost is the cost of the old machine minus accumulated depreciation.  Sunk cost is not relevant for decision making under differential analysis.

Company A's differential analysis is a managerial tool that is used to differentiate one decision alternative from another.  In this analysis, only relevant costs are considered.  A relevant cost in this case is cost that its inclusion or elimination makes a difference in the decision outcome.

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $27,600,000

Unitary variable cost= $805

Unit selling price= $1,150

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Samuel, a longtime employee of the ABCD Corporation, was injured when he fell off a ladder while stocking widgets at ABDC at their East Lansing, Michigan location. Samuel believes ABCD Corporation was negligent for selling widgets. If Samuel sues his employer in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery:
a. he will lose
b. he will win
c. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, completely
d. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, but only if the court awards him non-economic damages

Answers

Answer:

Option B. He will win

Explanation:

If Samuel is desiring to sue his employer in a circuit court because he thinks that the employer was negligent then he will have to sue under negligence Act, which says that the employer is obliged to take all necessary precautions and if found negligent then the court may apply contributory negligent theory as well as comparative negligent theory. These two negligent theories means that the employer was partly responsible for injury, which means that this would result in compensation to Samuel.

Hence it is more likely that Samuel will win the case.

It is likely that if Samuel sues ABCD Corporation in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery, a. he will lose.

 

The question to ask is, is ABCD Corporation negligent in selling widgets? No. Is it the case that the corporation's sale of widgets caused Samuel to fall off a ladder while he was stocking them at the Michigan location? No.

 

For Samuel to be successful in the circuit court, he must prove that ABCD Corporation acted negligently with its sales of widgets, especially:

ABCD Corporation owed a duty to Samuel not to sell widgets ABCD Corporation breached this duty to Samuel  ABCD's breach was the actual cause of Samuel's injury  ABCD's breach was also the proximate cause of Samuel's fall and injury  Samuel suffered actual damages as a result of the negligent act by ABCD Corporation.

 

Thus, based on the above, Samuel will lose the case because the corporation was not negligent for selling widgets nor for the fall of Samuel from the ladder.

According to the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis, this fate has befallen many developing countries given the general decline in commodity prices in relation to the price of manufactured goods.A) TrueB) False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation;

Generally, manufactured goods cost more than the commodity goods that they were manufactured from due to the value that has been added to them. This is what the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis argues, that commodity prices decline overtime in relation to manufacturing good prices.

This is a fate that has befallen many developing countries as many of them export commodity goods to developed countries who then add value to them, turning them into manufactured goods and then selling them back to developing countries at a higher price thereby negatively affecting their balance of trade.

Assuming Digby’s current market share for its Drat product remains the same, how many units of Drat should Digby expect to sell in the primary segment for the upcoming year?

Answers

Available Options Are:

A. 401 units

B. 294 units

C. 441 units

D. 305 units

Answer:

Option C. 441 Units

Explanation:

The first thing would be to analyze the situation. It is crystal clear in the Accessibility Elite table that the accessibility of Digby products are 2nd largest among the rival companies.

Now we will look at whether the company has taken advantage of its second largest accessibility position or not. This can be seen in Actual Vs Potential Market Share table. The units produced were sold in the year which means that the accessibility of the product is even more than its rivals as the market share captured in the year by Digby is above 40%. This means that their is an increased demand for Digby's Product. This can also be seen by segment growth rate in the Elite Statistics (Top Left Corner) which is anticipated to be at 16%.

All these things says that Digby must produce as much as possible, hence quantity would be a greater number.

Answer:

a) $94.88

b)  in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks should increase to $109.11

Explanation:

year                      dividend              EPS

0                              0                       $10

1                               0                       $12

2                              0                       $14.40

3                              0                       $17.28

4                              0                       $20.736

5                              0                       $24.8832

6                              $11.45               $28.61568

growth rate up to year 5 = 20%

ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%

dividend growth rate starting year 6 = 15% x (1 - 40%) = 9%

cost of equity = 15%

horizon value at year 5 = $11.45 / (15% - 9%) = $190.83

current intrinsic value per stock = $190.83 / 1.15⁵ = $94.88

intrinsic price in 1 year = $190.83 / 1.15⁴ = $109.11

The estimate of DEQS’s intrinsic value per share is $94.88. Also, in 1 year, the intrinsic price of the stocks will increase to $109.11.

Based on the information given, the dividend and the earnings per share are given below:

year                     dividend             EPS

0                              0                       $10

1                               0                       $12

2                              0                      $14.40

3                              0                       $17.28

4                              0                       $20.736

5                              0                       $24.88

6                              $11.45               $28.616

Growth rate up to year 5 = 20%ROE growth rate starting year 6 = 15%Cost of equity = 15%

Therefore, the dividend growth rate starting year 6 will be:

= 15% x (1 - 40%)

= 15% × 60%

= 9%

Therefore, the horizon value at year 5 will be:

= $11.45 / (15% - 9%)

= $11.45 / 6%

= $190.83

Then, the current intrinsic value per stock will be:

= $190.83 / 1.15⁵

= $94.88

The intrinsic price in 1 year will be:

= $190.83 / 1.15⁴

= $109.11
