2. $70000
3. Medical market
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the MEDICAL MARKET
First is to calculate the sales
Sales = (400 000 + 70 000)
Sales = $470 000
Second step is to calculate the profit
Variable cost =$470 000 *65%
Variable cost=$305 500
Contribution =$470 000*35%
Contribution =$164,500
Fixed Expense= $28 000
Profit = $ 136,500
Now let calculate the Difference made by advertisement
Difference = 136500 - 120000
Difference=16500
2. Calculation to determine How much would the company's profits increase (decrease) if it implemented the advertising campaign in the
DENTAL MARKET
vcr Of The Dental market = 50%
Variable cost =50% $260 000
Variable cost = $130 000
Contribution = $130 000
Fixed expenses = $60 000
Profit = $70000
Now let determine difference made by the advertisement
Difference =(70000) - 48000
Difference= 22000

With so many workers habituated to using mobile devices for so much of their work, should company management develop apps for influencing subordinates? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
This is not a yes or no answer.
The action of leadership/management would depend on their assessment of the impact of the habit on the results being delivered by the workers.
The questions to ask are:
Does the use of the mobile phone for their work reduce or increase productivity?Does what are the advantages? are there disadvantages?What would developing an app achieve for management?Explanation:
In trying to influence workers who are already habituated or accustomed to a particular way of doing things, it is best practice to study the culture and establish what its advantages are. This can then be compared to its demerits. If the demerits clearly and consistently present risks that make of no relevance the advantages, the leader(s) must move to correct such a risk.
So assuming that using mobile phones makes ICT risks (such as loss of company data, loss of company data, risk of unauthorised access etc) even more pronounced, whether or not the app is the best solution will depend on the total cost of that solution to the company weighed against other options.
Other options could simply be
- looking for an already existing app
- banning the using of mobile phone for office work using etc
- re-establishing the use of laptops as the preferred work tool
In any of the above scenarios, the leadership will succeed in influencing its workers positively if it:
plays its part well as a cultural shift role modelbecomes an arbiter of the policies modifying changes affecting work styleencourages the new workstyle by rewarding those that embrace it openly manage change by ensuring that there is a training platform that helps ease the transition into the new work style.Cheers

At the end of 2017, this same temporary difference has increased to a cumulative amount of $450,000. Taxable income for 2017 is$820,000. The tax rate is 40% for all years. No valuation account related to the deferred tax asset is in existence at the end of 2016. Instructions (a) Record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2017, assuming that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. (b) Assuming that it is more likely than not that$30,000 of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, prepare the journal entry at the end of 2017 to record the valuation account.
Answer:
a. Income Tax Expense (Dr.) $298,000
Deferred Tax (Dr.) $30,000
Income Tax Payable (Cr.) $328,000
Explanation:
b. Income Tax expense (Dr.) $30,000

I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 10%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Value of a perpetuality = cash flow / r
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
4 + 0 (10 - 4) = 4
1,000/ 0.04 = 25,000
4 + 1 (10 - 4) = 10
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
25,000 - 10,000 = 15,000
Kaskin, Inc., stock has a beta of 1.2 and Quinn, Inc., stock has a beta of .6. Which of the following statements is most accurate?
a. The expected rate of return will be higher for the stock of Kaskin, Inc., than that of Quinn, Inc.
b. The stock of Kaskin, Inc., has more total risk than Quinn, Inc.
c. The stock of Quinn, Inc., has more systematic risk than that of Kaskin, Inc.
Answer: a. The expected rate of return will be higher for the stock of Kaskin, Inc., than that of Quinn, Inc.
Explanation:
The beta of a stock measures its systematic risk which is its risk in relation to the market. With a higher systematic risk, there would be a higher expected return to compensate for this risk.
The beta is used to calculate the expected return in the CAPM formula:
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * Market premium
Note how the higher the beta, the higher the expected return based on the above formula.
At the present time, Water and Power Company (WPC) has 10-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,495.56 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 10%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 25%. If WPC wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)? (Note: Round your YTM rate to two decimal place.)
a. 3.53%
b. 3.38%
c. 2.35%
d. 2.94%
Answer:
d. 2.94%
Explanation:
First, Calculate the Yield to maturity of the bond using the following formula
Use the following formula to calculate the YTM
P = [ C x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Where
F = Face value = $1,000
P = Price = $1,495.56
C = Coupon payment = Face value x Coupon rate = $1,000 x 10% = $100
n = numbers of periods = Numbers of years to maturity = 10 years
r = YTM = ?
Placing values in the formula
$1,495.56 = [ $100 x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-10 ) / r ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + r )^10 ]
r = 3.916%
Now calculate the after-tax cost of debt
After-tax cost of debt = YTM x ( 1 - Tax rate )
After-tax cost of debt = 3.916% x ( 1 - 25% )
After-tax cost of debt = 2.937%
After-tax cost of debt = 2.94%

Explanation:
1. A time study analyst timed an assembly operation for 30 cycles, and then computed the average time per cycle, which was 18.75 minutes. The analyst assigned a performance rating of .96, and decided that an appropriate allowance was 15%. Assume the allowance factor is based on the workday. Determine the following: observed time (OT), the normal time (NT), and the standard time (ST)
Answer:
1. observed time = 18.75 minutes.
2. Normal time = 18 minutes
3. Standard time = 21.17 minutes
Explanation:
1. The observed time will be equal to the average time per cycle, which was given in the question as 18.75 min. Therefore, observed time = 18.75 minutes.
2. The normal time will be:
= Average Time x Performance Rating
= 18.75 x 0.96
= 18 minutes
3. The standard time will be:
= Normal time × 1/(1 - 15%)
= Normal time × 1/(1 - 0.15)
= 18 × 1/0.85
= 18 × 1.176
= 21.17 minutes

Paul, the Director of Recruitment at an insurance company, finds that the company has a disparate impact on the proportion of Hispanic employees compared to the proportion of Hispanics in the labor market. Which of the following steps should Paul take to solve the problem most efficiently?
a) He should lower the job specifications for Hispanic applicants.
b) He should continue using the current recruiting practices because only organizations with affirmative action plans are required to meet EEO guidelines.
c) He should start advertising for job openings on the local Spanish radio station.
d) He should freeze the hiring process until qualified Hispanics apply for vacant positions
Answer: c) He should start advertising for job openings on the local Spanish radio station.
Explanation:
This realization by Paul should make him want to hire more Hispanics into the company and the best way to do so would be to advertise it in such a way that Hispanics have a better chance of hearing about job openings.
Advertising on Spanish radio would ensure that Hispanics hear the advertisements because they are the main ethnicity that speaks Spanish. This will give them an edge in learning about job openings and enable Paul to hire more Hispanics.
The quantity demanded of cereal increased from 1,350 to 1,700 when the price of milk decreased from $2.05 to $1.65. What is the estimated cross-price elasticity of demand for cereal
Answer:
-1.33
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are -substitute goods.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
Cross Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B
percentage change in quantity demanded of good = (1700/ 1350) - 1 = 0.259
percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.195
0.259 / -0.195 = -1.33

On January 1, Able Company purchased equipment costing $135,000 with an estimated salvage value of $10,500, and an estimated useful life of five years. Using the straight-line method, what is the amount that should be recorded as depreciation on December 31?
a. $135,000
b. $24.900
c. $124,500
d. $27,000
Answer:
Depreciation = $24900
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of depreciation:
Cost of equipment = $135000
Salvage value = $10500
Useful life = 5 years
Depreciation = (Cost of machine - salvage value) / useful life
Depreciation = (135000 - 10500) / 5
Depreciation = $24900
Here are data on two companies. The T-bill rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%.What would be the fair return for $1 Discount Store according to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
Answer:
13%
Explanation:
Please find attached a table containing further information needed to answer this question
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x market premium
Beta measures systemic risk
The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
4% + (1.5 x 6%) = 13%

Budgeted production for the second quarter of the next year would be:
Answer:
8,800 units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Budgeted production for the second quarter of the next year would be:
Second Quarter - Sales 8,000
Less: Beginning Finished Goods
(8,000 x 20%) (1,600)
Add: Desired Ending Finished Goods (12,000 x 20% ) 2,400
Budgeted Production 8,800 units
(8,000-1,600+2,400)
Therefore Budgeted production for the second quarter of the next year would be:8,800 units
Corporations differ from partnerships and other forms of business association in two ways. One of these is that:________.
a. they are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
b. they are formed simply by an agreement entered into among their members.
c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
d. their shareholders are entitled to their share of the company's profits as soon as they are ascertained or determined.
Answer: c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.
Explanation:
Corporations tend to have many shareholders who would get hurt if the company fails and for this reason they are regulated by the law. They must be publicly registered to allow people to purchase and sell shares and they must have the official acknowledgement of the law.
The formation of a corporation can be complicated and require a relatively high number of legal processes and corporations are not regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
Also, even though shareholders are technically entitled to the company's profits, they don't get to collect it immediately because the company needs money to function and grow.

Marlow Company purchased a point of sale system on January 1 for $6,500. This system has a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $950. What would be the depreciation expense for the second year of its useful life using the double-declining-balance method
Answer:
$1,560
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year of its useful life is shown below:
First depreciation rate is
= 1 ÷ 5 ×2
= 40%
Now the depreciation expense for one year is
= 40% of $6,500

Now the depreciation expense for the second year is
= ($6,500 - $2,600) ×40%
= $1,560
Sweet Treats common stock is currently priced at $17.15 a share. The company just paid $1.22 per share as its annual dividend. The dividends have been increasing by 2.4 percent annually and are expected to continue doing the same. What is this firm's cost of equity
Answer:
9.68 percent
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm's cost of equity
Using this formula
Cost of equity=[(Annual dividend×Increase in dividends×/Current price of common stock]+Dividends
Let plug in the formula
Cost of equity=[($1.22 × 1.024)/$17.15] + 0.024
Cost of equity=($1.24928/$17.15)+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0728+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0968*100
Cost of equity=9.68 percent
Therefore the firm's cost of equity is 9.68 percent
