Explanation:
The output effect is how firms with market power control their production in honest to make profit.
A firm with market farm will have to reduce it's marginal revenue curve to increase sales.
The marginal revenue will therefore be below the Demand curve to show that the marginal revenue has to be reduced for a team to sell more goods.

As a condition of being allowed to apply for a job with Good Hands Industries, Charles is asked to waive his right to object to workplace searches. After signing the waiver, he is offered a job, and he accepts it. Sometime later, he is subjected to a search. If Charles seeks legal redress on the grounds that the search violated his privacy rights, his employer:_________-
A. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was not given voluntarily.
B. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because Charles did not grant it intentionally.
C. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer.
D. will be able to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given in exchange for valuable consideration.
Answer:
The answer is C (will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer).
Explanation:
In the employment setting, there are instances where an employer could violate an employee privacy right. For instance, the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure could be very strict on a public employer compared to a private employer where the private employers are given some degree of power too. Searching employees without their consent would be directly proportional to their breach of privacy that they have right to. Charles seeking legal redress is permitted since he initially signed to waive his right to object to workplace searches prior to his job offer. At every point where workplace searches is required by the employer especially when the searches are not done at public open places, the employee consent should be required too.

Write a paragraph about Bad customer service
Answer:
Bad customer service can be defined as when a business fails to meet the customer expectations in terms of service quality, response time, or overall customer experience. ... According to NewVoiceMedia, an estimated $62 billion is lost by U.S. businesses each year following negative customer experiences.Poor customer service can cause employees of a business to feel insecure and unhappy at work. Nobody likes being subject to anger from unpleased customers and without sufficient strategies in place to deal with these complaints, employees are far more likely to feel dissatisfied with their jobCarla Vista Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $385,000 (units 5,500), variable costs $250,000, and fixed costs $94,000. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or units sold. 2. Reduce variable costs to 56% of sales. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Net Income $ 2. Net Income $ Which course of action will produce the higher net income
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1.
Selling Price = Sales ÷ Units Sold
Current Selling Price = $385,000 ÷ 5500
= $70
Now
Expected Selling Price per unit = $70 + ($70× 10%)
= $77
Now
Expected Sales = 5500 × $77
= $423,500
Now
Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost
= $423,500 - $250,000 - $94,000
2.
Sales = $385000
Variable cost = $385,000 × 56% = $215,600
Sales $385,000
Less: variable cost -$215,600
Contribution Margin $169,400
Les: fixed cost -$94,000
Net Income $75,400
As we can see that if there is an increase in Selling Price by 10% so it would produce highest Net Income.

The Wiz Co. owes $60 to its bondholders for the payment of principal and interest. The company expects to have a cash flow of $136 if the economy continues as it is but that cash flow will decrease to $54 if the economy enters a recession. Should the company ever face the real possibility of bankruptcy, it will incur legal and other fees of $30. What amount will the bondholders be paid in the case of a recession
Answer:
$24
Explanation:
Cashflow If economy as it is = $136
Cashflow if economy in recession = $54
In the event that the company goes bankrupt due to the recession, it will have to pay $30 in legal and other costs, so the company will set aside $30.
So, Bondholders payment = Cashflow in recession - legal & other cost
= $54 - $30
= $24
Hence, the bondholders will be paid $24 in the case of a recession.

From the question,we are told about Saul who is a manager at Holden Apparels Inc. and is friends with the company's CEO. This privilege gives Saul the information that Holden Apparels is in the midst of talks to take over a leading rival. Saul buys stocks of Holden with the expectation that its stocks will appreciate. But the deal falls through and the stocks of Holden depreciate in the following months. In this case, Saul's actions are unethical

if the market price of common stock increases substantially, bondholders with convertible bonds benefit. convertible bonds can be converted into common stock at the option of the issuing company. bondholders with convertible bonds receive interest on the bonds until conversion. convertible bonds sell at a higher price and pay a lower rate of interest than those without the conversion option.
Answer:
if the market price of common stock increases substantially,
bondholders with convertible bonds benefit.
Explanation:
A convertible bond is a fixed interest debt security. The number of common shares into which it can be converted is predetermined at the issuance date. While the conversion can be done at certain time in the life of the bond, the decision to convert is usually at the discretion of the bondholder. As investors, bondholders opt to convert when it would be most profitable. This happens when the market price of the common stock increases.
Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Lorenzo and Neha are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right, Lorenzo will receive a payoff of 6 and Neha will receive a payoff of 5
Neha
Left Right
Lorenzo Left 8,4 4,5
Right 5,4 6,5
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .
Answer:
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for Neha to choose Right.
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right.
Explanation:
A dominant strategy is a strategy that results in a player being better off no matter the choice his or her opponent in a game.
For this game, when Lorenzo plays Left, Neha will choose Right because 5 > 4. Also, when Lorenzo plays Right, Neha will still choose Right because 5 > 4. This shows that Neha will always play Right no matter what Lorenzo plays. This implies the dominant strategy for Neha is Right.
On the other hand, when Neha plays Left, Lorenzo will also play Left because 8 > 5. But when Neha plays Right, Lorenzo will choose will also play Right because 6 > 4. This shows that Lorenzo does not have any particular strategy that make him better off. Therefore, Lorenzo does not have a dominant strategy.
Therefore, we have:
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
Based on the analysis above, the only dominant strategy in this game is for Neha to choose Right.
This is because the dominant strategy for Neha is Right, but Lorenzo does not have a dominant strategy.
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .
Based on the analysis above, the outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right.
The reason is that Neha will always play Right and Lorenzo will be better of by also playing Right because 6 > 4.

Green Manufacturing, Inc., plans to announce that it will issue $2 million of perpetual debt and use the proceeds to repurchase common stock. The bonds will sell at par with a coupon rate of 6%. Green is currently an all-equity firm worth $6.3 million with 400,000 shares of common stock outstanding. After the sale of the bonds, Green will maintain the new capital structure indefinitely. Green currently generates annual pretax earnings of $1.5 million. This level of earnings is expected to remain constant in perpetuity. Green is subject to a corporate tax rate of 40%.
A) What is the expected return on Green?s equity before the announcement of the debt issue?
B) Construct Green's market value balance sheet before the announcement of the debt issue. What is the price per share of the firm's equity?
C) Construct Green's market value balance sheet immediately after the announcement of the debt issue. What is Green's stock price per share immediately after the repurchase announcement?
D) How many shares will Green purchase as a result of the debt issue? How many shares of common stock will remain after the repurchase?
E) Construct a market value balance sheet after the restructuring. What is the required return on Green's equity after the restructuring?
Answer: See explanation and attachment
Explanation:
a. Return on equity:
= Pre tax earnings × (1 - Tax rate) / Total equity
= 1.5 million × (1 - 40%) / 6.3 million
= 1.5 million × (1 - 0.4) / 6.3 million
= (1.5 million × 0.6) / 6.3 million
= 0.9 million / 6.3 million
= 14.29%
b. Check attachment for Green's market value balance sheet before the announcement of the debt issue.
The price per share of the firm's equity will be:
= Equity / Number of shares
= $6300000 / 400000
= $15.75 per share
c. Check Green's market value balance sheet immediately after the announcement of the debt issue.
Green's stock price per share immediately after the repurchase announcement will be calculated thus:
We need to know the value of tax shield which will be:
= 40% × $2,000,000
= $800,000
Value of firm = $6,300,000 + $800,000
= $7,100,000
Price per share will be:
= Equity / Number of shares
= 7100000 / 400000
= $17.75 per share
d. The number of shares that Green will purchase as a result of the debt issue will be:
= Debt issue / Price per share
= 2,000,000 / 17.57
= 112,676
The number of shares of common stock that will remain after the repurchase will be:
= 400000 - 112676
= 287324
e. Check attachment for market value balance sheet after the restructuring.
The required return on Green's equity after the restructuring will be:
= 14.29% + (2000000/5100000) × (14.29% - 6%) × (1 - 40%)
= 14.29% + 0.3921 × 8.29% × 0.6

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.
Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?
Answer:
Benzion Barlev of New York UniversityNEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:
= 81%
b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:
= 19%
c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:
= $1,246,100.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mean total cost (x) = $850,000
Standard deviation = $170,000
Revenue = $1,000,000
Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation
= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000
= $150,000/$170,000
= 0.882
From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%
Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)
To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:
(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33
(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000
= $396,100
(R - $850,000) = $396,100
R = $396,100 + $850,000
R = $1,246,100
At the beginning of 2020, Concord Company acquired a mine for $3,251,600. Of this amount, $124,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,100,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Concord incurred $210,800 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $49,600. During 2020, 2,634,000 units of ore were extracted and 1,894,000 of these units were sold.
Required:
a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Answer:
A. $737,520
B. $530,320
Explanation:
a. Computation for the total amount of depletion for 2020.
First step is to calculate the Depletion Rate
Depletion Rate = ($3,251,600 - $124,000 + $49,600 + $210,800)/12,100,000
Depletion Rate= $3,388,000/ 12,100,000
Depletion Rate= 0.28
Now let calculate the total amount of depletion for 2020.
2020 Total amount of depletion= 0.28 × $2,634,000
2020 Total amount of depletion= $737,520
Therefore the total amount of depletion for 2020 is $737,520
B. Computation for the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Expense amount charged= ($737,520/$2,634,000)* 1,894,000
Expense amount charged=0.28 *1,894,000
Expense amount charged=$530,320
Therefore the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020 is $530,320

The units can be a) sold as is for $3.50 each, or b) reworked for $4.60 each and then sold for the full price of $8.90 each. What is the incremental income from selling the units as scrap and reworking and selling the units
Answer:
Incremental income as scrap=$66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $81,700
Explanation:
Unit contribution from selling as scrap is the equal to the scrap value = 3.50
Unit contribution when reworked and sold as scrap =Selling price - cost of re-work= $8.90-4.60= $4.3
Incremental income as scrap = $3.50×19,000= $66,500
Incremental income when re-worked= $4.3 × 19,000 = $81,700
Incremental income as scrap=$66,500
