Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. A: Maybe. The FTC would scrutinize the merger and make a case-by-case decision

the ftc would historically make a case-by-case decision for HHI( Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ) between 1000 and 1800 but nowadays antitrust enforcement agencies dontvdeoend much on ratios such as HHI in measuring competition but would rather perform in depth analysis of each industry under study

2.industry competition

Antitrust regulators look out for the level of competition in an industry in allowing mergers and rely more on case-by-case analysis in making it's evaluations

3.True

price cap regulations are used by government to control prices based on inflation levels or price cap index .price cap regulations set a cap on the price that can be charged by businesses for a product. They are set for a defined period of time.

4.A: The government sets a price by looking at the firm's average costs and then adding a normal rate of profit.

Government doesn't consider costs and normal rate of profit to the firm in setting price ceiling or floor for products

Dustup, a cleaning products company, was trying to revive its old wood floor waxing product. It began offering an augmented service of a small brochure called "Ask a Wood Floor Expert" to its bottles. The brochure included information and a customer support hotline. However, shoppers removed the brochure from bottles in the store, so few bottles were purchased. At the same time, Dustup began receiving a flood of calls to its hotline. This increased Dustup’s costs 30% over projections. What question did the company forget to ask before launching its add-on?

Answers

Answer:

Dustup forgot to the consumers if the add-on will give them more satisfaction from using their product.  

Explanation:

The market is always king. Getting first-hand information about what consumers need and how they need it is the best way to go about creating a product or modifying an existing one to become more profitable.

The removal of the brochures from the bottles showed that shoppers didn't necessarily want their product. What they wanted was to be able to make contact with the company and get more information on how to revive their old wooden floors.

Ray's Satellite Emporium wishes to determine the best order size for its best-selling satellite dish (model TS111). Ray has estimated the annual demand for this model at 1,500 units. His cost to carry one unit is $80 per year per unit, and he has estimated that each order costs $22 to place.
Using the EOQ model, how many should Ray order each time?

Answers

Answer:

28.72 units

Explanation:

Calculation of how many should Ray order each time using EOQ model

Using this formula

EOQ= √2DS/H

Where,

D=Annual demand 1,500 units

S=Order costs $22

H=Holding Costs $80 per unit

Let plug in the formula

EOQ=√2*1,500*$22/$80

EOQ=√66,000/$80

EOQ=√825

EOQ=28.72 units

Therefore Using the EOQ model, Ray should order 28.72 units each time.

Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,000. Cost of goods sold for the year is $1,300,000. Compute Endor’s inventory turnover and days’ sales in inventory. Assume that there are 365 days in the year

Answers

Answer:

11.40

32 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.

They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks

inventory turnover =  Cost of goods sold/ average inventory

Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000

Inventory turnover =  $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40

days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days

Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,400 helmets, using 2,346 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $15,484. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.64 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?

Answers

Answer:

1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets?

3,400 helmets x 064 kgs per helmet = 2,176 kgs

2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets?

2,176 kgs x $7 per kg = $15,232

3. What is the materials spending variance?

$15,484 - $15,232 = $252 unfavorable (because total expenditures on materials were higher than budgeted)

4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?

materials price variance = [($15,484/2,346) - $7] x 2,346 = -$938 favorable (the purchase price per kg was lower than budgeted)

materials quantity variance = (2,346 - 2,176) x $7 = $1,190 unfavorable

What is the beta for a company with a 12% expected return, while treasury bills are yielding 5% and the market risk premium is 7%

Answers

Answer:

The beta for the company is 1.

Explanation:

A beta is the measure of systematic risk associated to a stock or the portfolio. Systematic risk is the market risk that affects all the stocks in the market due to factors that are uncontrollable. Such a risk is what the companies compensate the investors for. Using the CAPM equation, we calculate the expected rate of return of a stock. The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

We already have the values for r, rRF and rpM. Plugging them in the formula, we calculate the beta to be,

0.12 = 0.05  +  Beta * 0.07

0.12 - 0.05 = Beta * 0.07

0.07/ 0.07 = Beta

Beta = 1

Kansas Enterprises purchased equipment for $73,500 on January 1, 2021. The equipment is expected to have a five-year service life, with a residual value of $6,450 at the end of five years. Using the double-declining balance method, depreciation expense for 2022 would be

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $17,640

Explanation:

Equipment was bought on Jan. 1, 2022 for $73,500. This is the historical cost of the asset.

Residual value is $6,450. This is the amount the equipment is being expected to sell for at the end of its useful life.

Useful life is 5 years.

To know the percentage to be used for the depreciation, we have:

100percent / 5 years

= 20 percent

Double-declining is 40 percent(20 percent x 2)

Depreciation for 2021 is

$73,500 x 40 percent

= $29,400.

Carrying amount at the end of 2021 which will also be for the beginning of 2022 is $44,100 ($73,500 - $29,400)

Depreciation for 2022:

$44,100 x 40 percent

$17,640.

Therefore, the depreciation for 2022 is $17,640.

A company sold equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000 cash. The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000. The company should recognize a:

Answers

Answer:

$0 gain/loss

Explanation:

A company sold an equipment that originally cost $290,000 for $145,000

The accumulated depreciation on the equipment was $145,000

The first step is to calculate the book value of the equipment

Book value of the equipment= Cost of equipment-accumulated depreciation

= $290,000-$145,000

= $145,000

Therefore, the gain/loss on the equipment can be calculated as follows

= Selling price-book value

= $145,000-$145,000

= 0

Hence there is no recognized gain or loss on the equipment

Answer:

Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil

Explanation:

The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the carrying value of an assets at the point of disposal and the the disposal value.

Gains/(Loss)= Disposal value - carrying value

The carrying value is the difference between the historical cost and the accumulated depreciation till date.

Carrying value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciation till date

Carrying value = 290,000 - 145,000 = 145 ,000

Gains/Loss= 145,000 - 145,000 = 0.

Company would recognize a no loss or gain on the disposal i.e Nil

You manufacture wine goblets. In mid- June you receive an order for 10,000 goblets from Japan. Payment of ¥400,000 is due in mid- December. You expect the yen to rise from its present rate of $1=¥107 to $1 to ¥120 by December 2020. You can borrow yen at 6% a year. What should you do?

Answers

Answer:

I will borrow yen at 6% a year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Payment for 10,000 = ¥400,000

Spot rate = $1 = ¥107

Forward rate = $1 to ¥120

Borrow ¥400,000, the interest cost = ¥24,000 = $224.30/2 (¥24,000/107) = $112.15 for six months

Value of ¥400,000 borrowed in dollars = $3,738.32 (¥400,000/107)

Loan Repayment of ¥400,000 in dollars = $3,333,33 (¥400,000/120)

Gain from forward contract = $404.99

Interest cost for borrowing =      112.15

Overall debt hedging gain =  $292.84

By borrowing yen at 6% per annum, you will make an overall gain of $292.84.  This is not comparable to the foreign exchange loss of $404.99 that you will incur without borrowing yen.  Taking advantage of the the debt hedging, the supplier is able to save foreign exchange loss.

A publisher is deciding whether or not to invest in a new printer. The printer would cost $900, and would increase the cash flows in year 1 by $500 and in year 3 by $800. Cash flows do not change in year 2.If the interest rate is 12% Is the investment in the new printer feasible?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, since NPV>0

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of cash inflows - initial investment

where,

Present value of cash inflows is

= $500 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^1 + $800 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^3

= $446.43 + $569.42

= $1,015.85

And the intial investment is $900

So, the net present value is

= $1,015.85 - $900

= $115.85

Since the net present value comes in positive so the investment in new printer is feasible

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company sells the product for $127.20 per unit.

Sales volume (units) 5,000 6,000

Cost of Sales $419,000 $502,800

First, we need to determine the unitary variable cost:

unitary variable cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8

unitary variable cost= 502,800/6,000= $83.8

Now, the unitary contribution margin:

Unitary contribution margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4

Finally, the total contribution margin:

total contribution margin= 5,300*43.4= $230,020

The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is option A $230,020.

Total Contribution Margin

To Calculate the Contribution Margin, we need to find the value of the unitary variable cost, and their margin. We are provided with these information:

Selling price $127.20 per unit.

Sales volume  5,000, & 6,000

Cost of Sales $419,000 & $502,800

To find the value of Total Contribution margin:

Step 1: Unitary Variable Cost= 419,000/5,000= $83.8

Step 2: Unitary Variable Cost= 502,800/6,000=  $83.8

Step 3: Unitary Contribution Margin= 127.2 - 83.8= $43.4

Step 4: Total contribution margin when 5300 units are sold= 5,300×43.4= $230,020.

The current interest rate is 0.015 percent per day. What is the most the firm should be willing to pay today (in a lump sum today) to eliminate its float entirely? A) 3000 B) 26000 C) 34000 D) 37000 E) 60000

Answers

Answer:

$26000

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

we first calculate collection flaot:

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate disbursements float:

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

= $26000

a. Calculate the firm's net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) for the year ended December 31, 2015
b. Calculate the firm?s operating cash flow (OCF) for the year ended December 31, 2015
c. Calculate the firm?s free cash flow (FCF) for the year ended December 31, 2015
d. Interpret, compare, and contrast your cash flow estimates in parts b and c.

Answers

Answer:

a. NOPAT = EBIT * (1-t)

NOPAT = $2,700 * (1-0.40)

NOPAT = $1,620

b. OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation

OCF = $1,620 + $1,600

OCF = $3,220

c. FCF = Net fixed asset investment - Net current asset investment

FCF = $3,320 - $1,400 -  $1,400

FCF = $420

Note:

Net fixed asset investment = Change in net fixed assets + depreciation

= ($14,800- $ 15,000) + $1,600

= $1,400

Net current asset investment = Change in current assets - Change in accounts payable and accurals

= ($8,200 - $6,800) - {($1,600 + $200) - ($1,500 - $300)}

= $1,400

d. FCF is meaningful as it shows that OCF is able to cover Operating expenses as well as Investment in Fixed and Current Assets

What is the yield to maturity on a bond that pays annual coupon rate of 14%, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 10 years, and is selling for $911?

Answers

Answer:

Yield to Maturity =15.6%

Explanation:

The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond

The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:  

YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)  

YM-Yield to maturity-  

C- annual coupon  

F- Face Value  

P- Current Price  

n- number of years

DATA  

Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 14%=140

Face Value = 1000

YM-?, C- 140, Face Value - 1,000, P-911 , n- 10

YM = (140 + (1000-911)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 911) )  

YM = 0.156 × 100 = 15.6%

Yield to Maturity =15.6%
