The Silverside Company is considering investing in two alternative projects: Project 1 Project 2 Investment $400,000 $280,000 Useful life (years) 5 5 Estimated annual net cash inflows for useful life $90,000 $65,000 Residual value $25,000 $12,000 Depreciation method Straight−line Straight−line Required rate of return 10% 6% What is the payback period for Project 1?
Answer:
The Silverside Company
Project 1's Payback Period
= Initial Investment/Annual cash flows
= $400,000 / $90,000
= 4.44 years.
Explanation:
Project 1:
Initial Investment = $400,000
Useful life = 5 years
Annual cash inflows for useful life = $90,000
The Silverside Company's payback period calculates the time or number of years that it would take the company to recover from its initial investment in Project 1. This is the simple payback period calculation. There is also the discounted payback period calculation. This method discounts the annual cash inflows to their present values before the calculation is carried out. This second method gives a present value perspective on the issue.

Note: It is assumed that the net annual cash flows are after considering the annual depreciation.
The Drogon Co. just issued a dividend of $3.05 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 6.3 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $61 a share, what is the company’s cost of equity? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
11.62%
Explanation:
Drogo corporation issued a dividend of $3.05 per share
The growth rate is 6.3%
= 6.3/100
= 0.063
The stock is sold at a price of $61 per share
The first step is to calculate the estimated dividend for the next year
= $3.05×(1+0.063)
= $3.05×(1.063)
= $3.24215
Therefore, the company's cost of equity can be calculated as follows
Po= Div1/r-g
61= 3.24215/r-0.063
r-0.063= 3.24215/61
r-0.063= 0.05315
r= 0.05315+0.063
r= 0.1162×100
r= 11.62%
Hence the company's cost of equity is 11.62%
What is the relationship between total surplus and economic efficiency?
Answer: When total surplus gets maximized, then economy meet economic efficiency.
Explanation:
Economic efficiency is described as a thinking that there is one possible way to make situation better by imposing a cost on another.
Total surplus is described as the sum of producer and consumer surplus.
It gets maximized in a perfect competition (hit free-market equilibrium).
i.e. It gets maximized when both consumer and producer surplus is maximum, and then the economy meet economic efficiency.
In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen.
Answer: fall, reducing, fall below
Explanation:
the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will __________ , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by __________ the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to __________the natural level of output in the short run.
(A) What price should the company charge for the phones, and how many phones should be produced to maximize the weekly revenue? What is the maximum weekly revenue?
Answer:
2500 phones produced at $250 per phone
Max weekly revenue would be $625,000.
Explanation:
p = 500 - 0.1x
p is the price per unit
revenue = quantity * price/unit
R(x) = revenue = p(x)*x = 500x - 0.1x²
p(x) maximum when first derivative is set to 0
500 - 0.2x = 0 ==> x = 500/0.2 = 2500 quantities
price/unit : p = 500 - 0.1*2500 = 500 - 250 = 250
revenue :
r(2500) = 500*2500 - 0.1*2500²
r(2500) = 2500(500 - 250) = 625000
The company should produce 2500 phones each week at a price of $250
The maximum weekly revenue is $625000
All firms, no matter the type of firm structure in which they are producing, make their production decisions based on the point where their: Group of answer choices
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
The profit maximisation point is the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost(MR = MC). At this point, total revenue is maximized.
Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue when additional units is sold or made while marginal cost is the change in total cost when additional unit of output is made.
When MR > MC, the firm is not manufacturing or producing enough goods and when MC > MR, it means the firm is manufacturing or producing too much and it is making loss with each additional production.
Slack Inc. borrowed $400,000 on April 1. The note requires interest at 12% and principal to be paid in one year. How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31? a. $0. b. $48,000. c. $32,000. d. $36,000
Answer:
D.$36,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31
First step is to find the 12% of the amount that was borrowed which is $400,000
$400,000×12%
=$48,000
Now let calculate for the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31
Interest =$48,000×3/12
Interest =$12,000
Hence,
Interest =$48,000-$12,000
Interest=$36,000
Therefore the amount of interest that is recognized from April 1 to December 31 will be $36,000

Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years. Derrick is considering a capital budgeting project that would require a $3,080,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Holston Company’s discount rate is 17%. The project would provide net operating income each year for five years as follows:
Sales $3,400,000
Variable expenses 1,450,000
Contribution margin 1,950,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed
out-of-pocket costs $670,000
Depreciation 828,000
Total fixed expenses 1,498,000
Net operating income $452,000
Required:
a. Compute the project's net present value.
b. Compute the project's simple rate of return.
c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?
d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?
Answer:
a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09
b. Simple rate of return is 15%
c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.
d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.
Explanation:
a. Compute the project's net present value.
To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:
Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 + $828,000 = $1,,280,000
Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?
P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000
r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17
n = Equipment useful years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]
PV = $4,095,163.09
Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09
b. Compute the project's simple rate of return
This can be computed as follows:
Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment = $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%
c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?
Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.
Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.
d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?
No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.
Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.

Jay owns Gatsby Islands and wants to convey it to his good friends, Nick and Daisy. Nick lives next door to Jay while Daisy lives across the waters. He conveys an interest in Gatsby Islands "to Nick as tenants by the entirety." Two months later, he makes a corresponding conveyance to Daisy. Jay created the following:_______
a. tenancy in common
b. severalty community property
c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship
d. tenancy by entirety
Answer:
Correct Answer:
c. joint tenancy with rights of survivorship
Explanation:
The property Jay owes on Gatsby Island belongs to him but he wishes to share th ownership with his 2 good friends. His conveyance of the message to both which reads "tenants by the entirety" shows that he and his friends has equal ownership and rights to the Gatsby Island property.
In the event that either him or one of the friends dies, the full title of the property automatically passes to the surviving person.
If the domino effect occurs as a result of changes in the money supply, what will most likely happen as an immediate result of interest rates being increased? Borrowing will decrease. Investing will decrease. Inflation will increase. Liquidity will increase.
Answer:
The answer is: interest rates will decrease
Explanation:
Just got correct on edge
If there is an increase in the interest rate, then borrowing will decrease.
The term "domino effect" refers to the cumulative effect that is produced by one event that eventually leads to the same effect on others. In other words, the domino effect is when one disaster affects or brings destruction or disruption to others, leading to similar events.
One result will lead to a chain reaction in this event, affecting the rest of the cycle. This means that like one domino's downfall brings the next domino down, one destruction will lead to the fall of the next, taking the cycle to the end until all falls. In this scenario, if the interest rates are being increased, then it will lead to a decreased rate of borrowing. A change in the money supply will increase the interest rate. This will only leave the customers looking for a way out, which means there will be a lower rate of borrowing.In a domino effect, one event will bring the fall of the other. Therefore, if the interest rates increase, there will only be more problems for the customers. This will leave them reducing or decreasing the borrowing rate in the market. Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Compute the percentage of assets committed to inventory and inventory turnover.
Answer:
Percentage of assets in inventory = 11.26%
Inventory turnover = 8.41 times
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage of assets committed to inventory and inventory turnover is shown below:-
Total inventory = Raw material + Work in progress + Finished goods inventory
= $0.76 billion + $0.12 billion + $0.82 billion
= $1.7 billion
Percentage of assets in inventory = Total inventory ÷ Total assets
= $1.7 ÷ $15.1
= 11.26%
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Total inventory
= $14.3 ÷ $1.7
= 8.41 times
According to the kinked demand curve theory, the behavior of firms in an oligopoly creates a demand curve that is ________ at prices above the cartel price and ________ at prices below the cartel price.
Answer:
According to the kinked demand curve theory, this behavior creates a demand curve that is more elastic at prices above the cartel price and more inelastic at prices below the cartel price.
Explanation:
Oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can keep the from from having significant influence in the same specialization they indulge in.
The kinked demand curve theory means that the response to a price increase is less than the response to a price decrease of the Olipolist in the market
Kelley Company reports $1,250,000 of net income for 2017 and declares $175,000 of cash dividends on its preferred stock for 2017. At the end of 2017, the company had 380,000 weighted-average shares of common stock. 1. What amount of net income is available to common stockholders for 2017
Answer:
Net Income available to common stockholders = $1075000
Explanation:
The preferred stock holders have a preference over the common stockholders in the distribution of dividends as they are paid before the common stock holders and receive a fixed amount of dividend. However, the net income that is available to common stock holders is all the net income that is left after deducting the preferred stock dividend from it.
Thus, the net income available to common stockholders can be calculated as,
Net Income available to common stockholders = Net Income - Preferred stock dividend
Net Income available to common stockholders = 1250000 - 175000
Net Income available to common stockholders = $1075000
An investment adviser representative (IAR) asks a customer for a loan of $5,000. The customer agrees, and both the customer and the IAR document the loan by signing a written agreement. Under the provisions of the Uniform Securities Act, the IAR:
Answer:
D. Has not committed an unethical act since the loan was documented in writing.
Explanation:
Section 102 of the Uniform Securities Act of 1956 specifies that it is unlawful and unethical for an investment adviser representative to enter into a contract with a client except it is provided in writing that he does not stand to gain any financial profit, that no assignment of the contract would be made without the consent of the other party, and that if there is any change in the membership of the contract, the other party would be notified.
So, if the contract was documented between the investment adviser and the client, then it would not be unethical conduct.

Moorcroft’s assistant controller suggested that Moorcroft hire a part time collector to encourage customers to pay more promptly and to reduce the amount of uncollectible accounts. Sales are still 40% cash and 60% credit but the assistant controller predicted that this would cause credit sales to be collected 30% in the month of the sale, 50% in the month following sale, and 18% in the second month following sale; 2% are uncollectible.Prepare a schedule of expected collections from customers for June. How did these changes impact cash collections?
Answer:
The budgeted sales are missing, so I looked for them. I found the following question, hopefully it will be similar:
Month Sales
April $300,000
May $320,000
June $370,000
Schedule of expected collections
For the month of June, 202x
Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000
Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600
Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000
Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 18% = $32,400
Total cash collections during June = $343,000
Since the cost of the part time collector is $1,000 per month, and the total uncollectible accounts reduce from 4% to 2%, which represents $7,400 for June's sales, I would recommend hiring the collector.

• (the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life
• (beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.
