Use your own language to explain that short run supply curve by a price-taking firm is the positively-sloped portion of the short-run marginal cost curve.

Answers

Answer:

See the answer and explanation below

Explanation:

A price-taking firm is a firm in a perfectly competitive market where all firms are price takers. That is, no firm in a perfectly competitive can influence the price as only the market determines the price.

The short run supply curve for a price-taking firm refers to the short marginal cost (SMC) curve at and above the shutdown point.

Note: See the attached graph for the shut run supply curve. Also note that point E in the attached graph is the shutdown point.

The shutdown point is the point where the short run marginal cost (SMC) is equal to the average variable cost (AVC) (i.e. where MC = AVC = Shutdown point).

This indicates that the short-run supply curve for a price-taking firm is the part of the SMC curve that lies above AVC curve.

The part of the SMC curve that lies below the AVC or the shutdown point is not part of the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm, because the firm is not engaging in any production at that point.

Therefore, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the increasing portion of the short run MC curve above the shutdown point.

This follows the law of supply which states that more quantity of the product of a firm will be supplied when there is a rise in the market price.

In summary, the short run supply curve of a price-taking firm is the positively-sloped portion of the short-run marginal cost curve

A) MarketB) LiquidityC) BusinessD) Inflation

Answers

Answer:

B) Liquidity

Explanation:

Liquidity is the ability of quickly buy or sell a stock without any price change.

Liquidity in a small-capitalization stock that has low trading volume is generally low that causes a problem for traders. It is so because in small capitalization, traders are unable to understand potential pitfalls and blindly invest in small-capitalization stocks which do not give profit as expected and the liquidity becomes low.

1. Compute return on investment.
2. Compute profit margin.
3. Compute investment turnover for the year.
Assume that each of the company's divisions has a required rate of return of 8%. Compute residual income for each division.

Answers

Answer:

a. Return on Investment

ROI= Operating income/Average invested assets

Beverage Division ROI = 358 / (2,680+2,602) /2

= 358 / 2,641

= 0.13555

= 13.56%

Cheese Division ROI = 643 / (4,473 + 4,409)/2

= 643 / 4,441

= 0.14478

= 14.48%

b.  Profit margin

Profit Margin= Operating income / Sales

NewTech purchases computer equipment for $154,000 to use in operating activities for the next four years. It estimates the equipment’s salvage value at $25,000.Required:Prepare a table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.

Answers

Answer:

Accumulated depreciation = $129,000

Net book value after years = Salvage value = $25,000

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the table showing depreciation and book value for each of the four years assuming double-declining-balance depreciation.

Double-declining-balance is a depreciation method in which an asset is depreciated at twice the rate of the straight line depreciation method.

For this question, the depreciation rate can be obtained as follows:

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of years of operating activities = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

This can be done as follows:

Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%

The 50% double-declining depreciation rate is therefore used in the attached excel file table.

Note that there the depreciation expenses in Year 4 is zero because the asset has already been fully depreciated in year 3 since there is a salvage value of $25,000 that must be maintained at the end of Year 4.

You take out a car loan for 13,381 dollars. If your loan has an annual interest rate of 8.86 percent, and you will make monthly payments for 5 years, how much of your first payment will go towards principal (go towards paying down the outstanding loan balance)?

Answers

Answer:

Principal paid in the first payment =$2,656.52

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.  

We will use the following relationships:

Interest paid = Interest rate × loan balance

Principal paid = Monthly installment - Interest paid

Monthly installment  = Loan amount/Annuity factor

Annuity factor = (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r - annual interest rate

n- number of period = 12× 5 = 60

Monthly interest rate - 8.86/12 =0.738 %

Loan amount = 13,381

Annuity factor = (1 - (1.00738)^(-60) )/ 0.00738=48.336

Monthly interest payment = Loan amount/Annuity factor

                                         13,381/48.336=2,755.32

Interest due in the first month = interest rate × loan amount

                      =  0.738 %×  13,381 =98.796

Principal aid in the first year = Monthly installment - interest due 1st month

                      = 2,755.32 - 98.796 = 2,656.52

Principal paid in the first payment =$2,656.52

Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is a. increasing at an increasing rate. b. increasing at a decreasing rate. c. increasing at a constant rate. d. decreasing.

Answers

The question is incomplete:

If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.

Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

b. increasing at a decreasing rate.

c. increasing at a constant rate.

d. decreasing.

Answer:

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.

You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.

According to the kinked demand curve theory, if Kit-N-Sit cuts prices, Kittysitters will ________; if Kit-N-Sit raises prices, Kittysitters will ________.

Answers

Answer:

respond aggressively by cutting prices ; will do nothing and leave prices unchanged.

Explanation:

The kinked demand curve was developed by an economist, Sweezy to addressing price inflexibility associated with an oligopolist market. In an oligopolist market, prices tends to remain unchanged over a long period of time even when costs are declining. The kinked demand curve hypothesis states that a firm faces a demand curve with a kink at the prevailing price level. This means that the curve is more elastic above the kink and less elastic below it. Here, there is less response to a price increase compared to much response to a price decrease.

According to the assumption under kinked demand curve, each firm in an oligopoly believes that if a firm cut price below the prevailing level, then competitors will follow suit. This is because competitors feels that if they do not cut their prices too, then their customers will leave them and buy from the competitor that is selling at lower price.

It is also assumed that, if a firm increases the price of his goods and services above the prevailing level, then competitors will not follow suit. This means that if a firm increases the price of his goods and services, there will be reduction in sales hence competitors will not increase their price. This because customers will patronize firms with the same or similar products hence increase competitors sales.

2. At an oral auction for used car, half of all bidders have a value of $1,500 and half have a value of $1,900. What is the expected winning bid if there are three bidders

Answers

Answer:  $1,700

Explanation:

The expected winning bid is the weighted average of the 2 different bids.

Half of the bids are for $1,500 so weight of $1,500 is 0.5.

Half of the bids are for $1,900 so weight of $1,900 is 0.5.

Expected Winning bid = (1,500 * 0.5) + ( 1,900 * 0.5)

= 750 + 950

= $1,700

Which of the following is true regarding the value of an option? A) Unlike the Black-Scholes formula, the Put-Call Parity suggests that the volatility of underlying asset is not a factor that affects the value of an option. B) The option premium is greater or equal to its intrinsic value because of the time premium. C) The call and put premiums are unrelated since they depend on different set of variables. D) The writer of the call option pays the same premium as the buyer of the put option. E) When the call option is out-of-the-money and the put option is in-the-money, the call must be more valuable than the put.

Answers

Answer: B) The option premium is greater or equal to its intrinsic value because of the time premium.

Explanation:

The option premium can be calculated by adding the time premium and the intrinsic value. The time premium is the part of the option premium that accounts for the time remaining till the premium matures while the intrinsic value is the difference between the value of underlying asset and the strike price.

As the time premium can be zero but never negative, the option premium can either be greater than its intrinsic value or equal to it. It cannot be lower than it because of the time premium.

The unfavorable volume variance may be due to all of the following factors except:_______

a. failure to maintain an even flow of work
b. machine breakdowns
c. failure to obtain enough sales orders
d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities

Answers

Answer:

d. unexpected increases in the cost of utilities

Explanation:

there are several volume variances:

direct materials volume variancedirect labor volume variancemanufacturing overhead volume variance sales volume variance

Utilities are part of manufacturing overhead, but volume variances using the standard rates, so an unexpected increase in the cost of utilities will not affect the overhead volume variance.

The unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities

Unfavorable volume variance means that the amount of applied fixed manufacturing overhead costs is less than the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs

The machine breakdowns will affect production levels, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variance.

The failure to maintain even flow of work will impact the production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances

The failure to obtain enough sales order will limit production quantities, thus, resulting to unfavorable volume variances.

Thus, the Option D is correct because unfavorable volume variance can not be due because of unexpected Increases in the cost of utilities

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.

Southland Corporation has a present capital structure consisting of common stock (10 million shares) and debt ($150 million, 8% coupon rate). The company needs to raise $60 million and is undecided between two financing plans. Plan A: Equity financing. Under this plan, an additional common stock will be sold at $15 per share. Plan B: Debt financing. Under this plan, the firm will issue 10% coupon bonds. At what level of operating income (EBIT) will the firm be indifferent between the two plans? Assume a 40% marginal tax rate.

Answers

Answer:

The level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.

Explanation:

Indifferent level of EBIT refers to the EBIT level where the he Earnings Per Share (EPS) two alternative financial plans are the same.

Indifferent level of EBIT can be calculated using the following formula:

[(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SA = [(EBIT - FB) * (1 - T)] / SB .................... (1)

Where:

EBIT = Indifference level of EBIT

FA = Fixed interest costs under plan B = Interest on existing debt = $150 * 8% = $12 million

FB = Fixed interest costs under plan A = Interest on existing debt + Interest on new debt = ($150 * 8%) + ($60 * 10%) = $18 million

T = Tax rate = 40%, or 0.40

SA = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan B = Existing number of shares + New number of shares = 10 million + ($60 million / $15) = 10 million + 4 million = 14 million

SB = Number of equity shares outstanding under Plan A = Existing number of shares = 10 million

Substiuting the values into equation (1) and solve for EBIT, we have:

[(EBIT - 12) * (1 - 0.40)] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * (1 - 0.40)] / 10

[(EBIT - 12) * 0.60] / 14 = [(EBIT - 18) * 0.60] / 10

[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] / 14 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] / 10

[EBIT0.60 - 7.20] * 10 = [(EBIT0.06 - 10.80] * 14

EBIT6 - 72 = EBIT8.40 - 151.20

-72 + 151.20 = EBIT8.40 - EBIT6

EBIT2.40 = 79.20

EBIT = 79.20 / 2.40

EBIT = $33 million

Therefore, the level of operating income (EBIT) where the firm will be indifferent between the two plans is $33 million.

Answers

Answer:

Leslie works as customer service representative for Lighthouse Point Lanterns. Her job is to fulfill customer orders and answer any questions that the customer may have. In order to ensure the best service possible, Lighthouse Point Lanterns makes test phone calls to their customer service representatives and rates their ability to correctly answer customer calls. If Leslie properly handles 80% of the test calls, she will receive a 20% bonus in her next pay check. This is an example of:_________.

Answers

Answer:

a performance reward.

Explanation:

A performance reward is a type of employee reward system. Companies generally reward employees in an attempt to motivate them to work more, harder or more efficiently. E.g. a company may reward salespeople that close 100 sales per week, regardless of the type of sales made. This type of reward is based on the gross amount of work carried out by the employee.

In Leslie's case, she is being rewarded for being an efficient employee. The parameter for measuring her efficiency is that 80% of the test calls that she makes are handed properly. She is not rewarded on the number of test calls, but instead on how she handled them.

This is an example of a performance reward if Leslie is going to be rewarded with a 20% bonus for handling 80% of the test calls.

A performance reward is a reward that a customer receives in an organization which is based on how well they have performed in the business.

The reward system here has stated that if Leslie is able to meet up with the target that the business has placed for her to reach she would be rewarded with a bonus of 20% when she receives her next salary.

Potential GDP of an economy is $12 billion. Real (Actual) GDP is $20 Billion. Marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. What level of Government spending is required to achieve Full employment

Answers

Answer:

Government spending required  = $2 billion

Explanation:

The required amount of GDP to achieve the full employment GDP =

Potential GDP - Actual

that is 20 - 12 = $8 billion.

But note that a government spending of less than $8 billion would be required to achieve an increase of 8 billion in real GDP. This is so because of   expenditure multiplier effect.

The expenditure multiplier is the amount by which the aggregate output would increase with an increase in any of the expenditure components.

It is calculated as follows;

Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC)

For this question ,

Expenditure multiplier = 1/(1-0.75) = 4

This implies that $1 change in any of the aggregate expenditure would lead a $4 worth of change in GDP.

Government spending required  is determined as

Desired change in real GDP/expenditure multiplier

= $8 billion/4 = $2 billion

Government spending required  = $2 billion

One Step, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 27 years to maturity that is quoted at 105 percent of face value. The issue makes semiannual payments and has a coupon rate of 4 percent.


Requried:

a. What is the company's pretax cost of debt?

b. If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?

Answers

Answer:

Before tax cost of debt=3.72%

After-tax cost of debt =2.87 %

Explanation:

The yield to maturity to Maturity van be worked out using the formula below:

YM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))

C- annual coupon,  

F- face value ,

P- current price,  

n- number of years to maturity

YM - Yield to maturity

DATA

C- 4%× 100 = 4, P- 105, F- 100

AYM = 4 + (100-105)/27 ÷ 1/2× (100+105)

=0.0372 ×  100= 3.72%

Yield to maturity =3.72%

Before tax cost of debt = Yield to maturity

Before tax cost of debt=3.72%

After tax cost of debt =Before tax cost of debt × (1-T)

Before tax cost of debt = 3.72%

Tax rate = 23%

After-tax cost of debt = 3.72%× (1-0.23) =2.87 %

After-tax cost of debt =2.87 %

Coastal Shores Inc. (CSI) was completely destroyed by Hurricane Fred on August 5, 2021. At January 1, CSI reported an inventory of $153,000. Sales from January 1, 2021, to August 5, 2021, totaled $432,000 and purchases totaled $175,500 during that time. CSI consistently marks up its products 60% over cost to arrive at a selling price. The estimated inventory loss due to Hurricane Fred would be:

Answers

Answer:

58,500

Explanation:

Given the information above, the formula for Inventory loss is

Inventory loss = Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of sales

Where,

Cost of sales = $432,000 × 100 ÷ 160

=$270,000

Since opening inventory = $153,000

Purchases = $175,500

Therefore,

Inventory loss = $153,000 + $175,500 - $270,000

= $58,500
