Your Competitive Intelligence team is predicting that the Digby Company will invest in adding capacity to their Deal product this year. Assume Digby's product Deal invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. Because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the Core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. How much can the industry produce in the Core segment the next year
Answer:
13,288
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that industry produced in the core segment is shown below:
It can be determined in two ways i.e.
= 6,444 + 6,444
= 13,288
And, the other method is
= 6,444 × 2
= 13,288
In both the methods, the answer would remain the same
Hence, the 13,288 should be produced by the industry for the next year production
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.
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.
The HIJ bond has a current price of $800, a maturity value of $1,000, and matures in 5 years. If interest is paid semi-annually and the bond is priced to yield 8%, what is the bond's annual coupon rate
Answer:
Explanation:
The coupon rate is defined as the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security.
Hence,
Par Value = $800
Face Value = $1,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
Since the interest is semi annual
i = 8% / 2 = 4%
CF = $15.34
Coupon = $30.68 per year or 3.068%
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.
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.

In the basic EOQ model, an annual demand of 40 units, an ordering cost of $5, and a holding cost of $1 per unit per year will result in an EOQ of:
Answer:
20
Explanation:
The formula for Economic order quantity ( EOQ ) = √2DS/H,
Where,
D annual demand = 40 units
S Ordering cost = $5
H Holding cost = $1
Hence ,
EOQ = √ 2 × 40 units × $5 / 1$
= √ $400 / $1
= 20
Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $70 per share and the required return on the stock is 14 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?
Answer: $4.58
Explanation:
The required return is said to be evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield.
That means that Dividend Yield = 7%
Capital gains yield = 7%
The Dividend Yield is based on the next dividend and given the expected return the dividend is;
Expected Return = Dividend Yield + Capital gains yield
Expected Return = Dividend(1 + g)/stock price + Capital gains yield
0.14 = Dividend ( 1 + 0.07)/70 + 0.07
70 * (0.14 - 0.07 ) = Dividend ( 1.07)
4.9 = Dividend ( 1.07)
Dividend = 4.9/1.07
Dividend = $4.58
Ten years ago, Kronan Corporation earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $2.20. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?
Answer:
The growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) is 15.97%
Explanation:
Assuming annual growth rate is r%, hence
$0.5 x (1 + r)^10 = $2.20
(1 + r)10 = $2.20 / $0.5
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
Taking 10th root at each side,
(1 + r)10 = $4.4
[tex]\sqrt[10]{1 + r}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[10]{4.4}[/tex]
1+r = 1.1597
r = 1.1597 - 1
r = 0.1597
r= 15.97%
According to the kinked demand curve theory, if Kit-N-Sit cuts prices, Kittysitters will ________; if Kit-N-Sit raises prices, Kittysitters will ________.
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.

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.
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.
A mother, aged 60, wishes to withdraw monies from her variable annuity to pay for her son's college education. Which statement is true regarding the taxation of the withdrawal?

Hence, the correct answer is B) Liquidity.
If the rate of inflation is 2.2% per year, the future price pt (in dollars) of a certain item can be modeled by the following exponential function, where t is the number of years from today.
p(t)=1200(1.039^t)
Find the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today.
Answer:
1693.25
Explanation:
The computation of the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today is shown below:-
p(t) = 1,200 × (1.039)^t
Now, the current price can be found by putting t = 0
p(0) is

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:_________.
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.

Additional investments should yield incremental returns if they are to be accepted. In the previous year, Division A had an Return on Investment of 15%, when an additional investment is being considered, it must bring in more than that 15% if it is to be accepted.
Therefore, if an investment is to give a less than 15% ROI, it should be rejected as it is not bringing additional returns for the Division.
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)?
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

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year. Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $96. The following price schedule applies.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year.
Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year =$0.60
and ordering costs are $96.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
The optimal order quantity can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2*18000*96}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{3456000}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{5760000}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = 2400 \ boxes[/tex]
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''
Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]
Total cost = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)
Total cost = 720 + 720 + 21600
Total cost = $ 23040
If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700
Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700
Total cost = $22545.6
If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96) + 19800
Total cost = 3000 + 172.8 + 19800
Total cost = $22972.8
From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000
So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order
the number of orders per year = 18000/5000
the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year
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?
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 %
Abey Kuruvilla, of Parkside Plumbing, uses 1,210 of a certain spare part that costs $26 for each order, with an annual holding cost of $24. a) Calculate the total cost for order sizes of 25, 40, 50, 60, and 100 (round your responses to two decimal places).
Answer:
Annual demand(D) = 1,210
Ordering cost(S) = $26
Annual holding cost (H) = $24
With the order quantity(Q) = 25,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(25/2)24] + [(1210/25)26]
= $300 + $1258.4
= $1558.4
With the order quantity(Q) = 40,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(40/2)24] + [(1210/40)26]
= $480 + $786.5
= $1266.5
With the order quantity(Q) = 50,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(50/2)24] + [(1210/50)26]
= $600 + $605
= $1205
With the order quantity(Q) = 60,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(60/2)24] + [(1210/60)26]
= $720 + $524.33
= $1244.33
With the order quantity(Q) = 100,
Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost
= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]
= [(100/2)24] + [(1210/100)26]
= $1200 + $314.6
= $1514.6
