Dairy Wishes, a local ice cream store, finds
that it sells out of ice cream sandwiches at the current price of $1. It raises the price to increase its
revenues and finds that no one buys ice cream sandwiches anymore
The demand for icecream sandwiches is
a. inelastic.
b. elastic.
c. perfectly inelastic.
d. perfectly elastic.
e. unitary elastic.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic.

Explanation:

Demand is perfectly elastic if it at the current price, the product is sold out but if there is a change in price demand falls to zero. the demand curve is horizontal

Demand in perfectly inelastic if there is no change in quantity demanded regardless of the change in price.

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Japanese tourists come to experience the magic of Disney World and other attractions around Orlando, Florida. These tourists are:___________
[A] contributing to the United States’ deficit balance of payments.
[B] helping increase the balance of payments for Japan.
[C] exporting products and services back to Japan.
[D] further decreasing the United States’ balance of payments.
[E] helping the United States’ balance of payments.

Answers

Answer:

Option E, helping the United States’ balance of payments, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option “E” is the correct answer because the balance of payment records all the transactions that occurred between the home country and the rest of the word. Therefore, if the foreign tourist spends in the country that means they are helping the balance of payment. This will increase the country’s surplus and the ability to pay the expenses because tourism is helping to generate revenue.

All of Ivanhoe’s assets’ book values approximate their fair value, except for land, which has a fair value that is $410000 greater than its book value. On 12/31/21, Oriole Corporation paid $7030000 to acquire Ivanhoe. What amount of goodwill should Oriole record as a result of this purchase?

Answers

Answer: $2,420,000‬

Explanation:

Goodwill is the amount over the fair value of a company that it is purchased for.

Goodwill = Acquisition price - Net Assets

Net Assets = Assets - Liabilities

= (6,900,000 + 410,000) - 2,700,000

= $4,610,000‬

Goodwill = 7,030,000 - 4,610,000

10 from November at $168

Calculation

January  =  10 x $128       = $1,280

February = 12 x $138        = $1,656

May = 14 x $148                = $2,072

September = 12 x $158     = $1,896

November = 10 x $168      = $1,680

Akram owns a small farm. He employs 80 workers in the field and has recently hired a manager to help him manage the farm. The income of the business varies greatly during the year. The farm makes a small profit but Akram is ambitious. He wants to take over a neighbour’s farm and increase the range of crops he sells. He thinks that he needs long-term finance and plans to take out bank loan to pay for the takeover. He has already borrowed money to buy a new tractor. A friend has advised him to form a company and sell shares

Answers

Question Completion:

Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low

Answer:

Akram's Farm

Akram's farm can make good use of the following short-term financing sources:

1. Akram's farm can use Accounts Payable to provide short-term trade finance when the farm buys farm inputs, equipment, and other supplies on credit.  The farm's Accounts Payable can provide interest-free trade loans by allowing the farm to take longer time to settle the suppliers.  But, the farm should not miss out on cash discounts - an important source of trade finance.

2. Akram's farm can generate finances by ensuring early collections of the  Accounts Receivable.  Akram's farm can also go ahead and borrow on the accounts receivable through short-term bank loans guaranteed on the accounts.  The farm can also factor the accounts receivable by selling them to factoring and finance houses for less.

Explanation:

Akram's farm is still a small farm that is not yet formed as a company.  The immediate concentration is growing the entity and starting the processes for changing its corporate status so that it can take advantage of the sources of finance available to companies.

Venture Capital Corporation loans Wally $15,000 to start a new business.Wally does not pay,but Venture fails to sue within the time prescribed by the applicable statute of limitations.Wally's promise to pay the debt even though recovery is barred:_________
A) needs new consideration.
B) needs no consideration.
C) is unenforceable regardless of any consideration.
D) needs legally sufficient and adequate consideration.

Answers

Answer:

B) needs no consideration.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Wally's promise to pay the debt even though recovery is barred needs no consideration. This is mainly due to the fact that the Corporation failed to sue within the statute of limitation that was set. Meaning they can no longer sue Wally in order to recover the loan that was given to him. If they were to try and sue Wally now the lawsuit would just be dismissed with no consideration given.

Your bank pays 4% interest annually. You have $2,500 invested in the bank. How long will it take for your funds to double

Answers

Answer:

17.69 years

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the number of periods of time is:

n=ln(FV/PV)/ln(1+r)

n= number of periods of time

FV= future value=$2,500*2=$5,000

PV= present value=$2,500

r=interest rate=0.04

Now, you can replace the values in the formula:

n=ln(5,000/2,500)/ln(1+0.04)

n=ln2/ln1.04

n=0.69/0.039

n=17.69

According to this, the answer is that it will take 17.69 years for your funds to double.

Burnett Corp. pays a constant $8.15 dividend on its stock. The company will maintain this dividend for the next 12 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 11 percent, what is the current share price

Answers

Answer:

$52.91

Explanation:

With regards to the above, we will apply the dividend discount model to come up with the price for share.

Under the dividend discount model, the price for share represents the present value of all its future dividend discounted at the required rate of return.

Since the share has 12 annual equal dividend payments of 8.15 each year, while the required rate is 11%, we can apply the below annuity to arrive at the share price.

(8.15/0.11) × [ 1- 1.11^(-12) ] = $52.91

Therefore, the current share price is $52.91

An invoice of $600 for merchandise purchased is showing 3​/15, ​n/30 as terms of credit. If the invoice is paid on or before the fifteenth day after the invoice​ date, the amount to be paid is​ ________.

Answers

Answer:

Amount Payable or paid = $582

Explanation:

The terms of purchase state that the buyer will be entitled to a 3% cash discount if the payment for the purchases is made within 15 days of the purchase or invoice date.

Thus, if the payment is made on or within the fifteen days of invoice date, the cash discount that will be received is,

Discount = 600 * 0.03 = $18

So, the amount that will be payable for the merchandise will be,

Amount Payable or paid = 600 - 18  = $582

The following data pertain to operations concerning the product for the last month: Actual hours worked 8,100 hours Actual total labor cost $119,880 Actual output 800 units What is the labor rate variance for the month?

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

We weren't provided with enough information to solve the requirement. But, I will provide an example and the formula to guide an answer.

For example:

Standard rate per hour= $15

Actual hours worked 8,100 hours

Actual total labor cost $119,880

To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Actual rate= 119,880/8,100= $14.8

Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 14.8)*8,100

Direct labor rate variance= $1,620 favorable

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Allowance for bad debt = $34,500

Bad debt written off = $31,400

Credit balance in allowance for bad debts = Allowance for bad debt - Bad debt written off

= $34,500 - $31,400

= $3,100

The balance in receivables account = ($413,000 - $31,400) - ($34,500 - $31,400)

= $381,600 - $3,100

= $378,500

A company releases a? five-year bond with a face value of? $1000 and coupons paid semiannually. If market interest rates imply a YTM of 8%, which of the following coupon rates will cause the bond to be issued at a? premium?

A. 6%

B.10%

C. 8%

D. 5%

Answers

Answer: B.10%

Explanation:

For a bond to be issued at a premium, the Coupon rate needs to be higher than the current Market Yield to Maturity as this will cause the price of the bond to be higher than Par signifying that the bond is an attractive one.

If the Coupon rate is equal to the YTM then the bond will trade at Par.

If the Coupon rate is less than the YTM then the bond will trade at a discount.

Only 10% of the coupon rate will allow the bond by issued at a premium.

The coupon rate of a a bond refers to the amount of interest income earned each year based on the face value.

The yield to maturity of a band refers to the total estimated return if the bond is held until maturity.

When coupon rate is equal to YTM at issue, then, bond is issued at par value.

When coupon rate is lower than YTM at issue, then, bond is issued at a discount.

When coupon rate is higher than YTM at issue, then, bond is issued at a premium.

Therefore, the Option B is correct because only 10% of the coupon rate will allow the bond by issued at a premium

Two mutually exclusive projects have an initial cost of $60,000 each. Project A produces cash inflows of $30,000, $37,000, and $20,000 for Years 1 through 3, respectively. Project B produces cash inflow of $80,000 in Year 2 only. The required rate of return is 10 percent for Project A and 11 percent for Project B. Which project(s) should be accepted and why

Answers

Answer:

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

Explanation:

Net present value van be used to determine which project should be accepted.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $37,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $20,000

I = 10%

NPV = $12,877.54

For project B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-60,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $0

Cash flow in year 2 = $80,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $0

I = 11%

NPV = $4,929.79

Project A should be accepted because the NPV is higher. this means that project A is more profitable than project B

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute  

Suppose the price level and value of the U.S. Dollar in year 1 are 1 and $1, respectively. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. If the price level rises to 1.35 in year 2, what is the new value of the dollar?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Data provided  in the question

Price level = 1.35

According to the given situation, the computation of the new value of the dollar is shown below:-

The New value of the dollar = 1 ÷ Price level

= 1 ÷ 1.35

= 0.74074

or

= 0.74

Therefore for computing the new value of the dollar we simply applied the above formula.

Complete Question:

Ford Motor Company is discussing new ways to recapitalize the firm and raise additional capital. Its current capital structure has a 10% weight in equity, 25% in preferred stock, and 65% in debt. The cost of equity capital is 17%, the cost of preferred stock is 11%, and the pretax cost of debt is 9%. What is the weighted average cost of capital for Ford if its marginal tax rate is 40%?

Answer:

7.96%

Explanation:

We can calculate WACC using the formula:

WACC = Cost of equity * Equity %age / 100%         +          

After Tax Cost of Debt * Debt %age / 100%            +        

Cost of Preferred Stock * Preferred Stock %age / 100%

Here,

Cost of equity is 17%

Cost of preferred stock is 11%

Post tax cost of debt = Pre-Tax cost *  (1 - Tax rate)

This implies,

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1 - 40%) =  5.4%

Equity weight is 10% weight in equity

Preferred stock weight is 25%

Debt Weight is 65%

By putting value in the formula given in the attachment, we have:

WACC = 17% * (10% / 100%)      +     11% * (25% / 100%)    +    5.4% * (65% / 100%)

WACC = 1.7%   +   2.75%   +    3.51%

WACC = 7.96%
