When should a company consider issuing debt instead of equity?
Answer:
Many fast-growing companies would prefer to use debt to support their growth, rather than equity, because it is, arguably, a less expensive form of financing (i.e., the rate of growth of the business's equity value is greater than the debt's borrowing cost).
Explanation:
Answer:
There could be many reasons, but probably the company reached its debt ceiling and is not able to borrow anymore (at acceptable conditions), due to low net cash flow relative to debt service, or low available collateral, or both.
Larger expansions or risky undertakings would also be more likely financed by equity - the expansion might require taking on more debt than the company is currently able to service, and the creditors are not sure if it will also bring sufficient additional EBITDA to service large debt. Similar thing with risky business proposals - it is more logical to finance them through equity, where investors share the hard-to-predict benefits as well as potential losses. If they were to be financed by debt, the loan should in theory carry very high interest to make up for the risk profile of the endeavor. Better to make it an equity investment.
Also, issuing equity improves your balance sheet and enables you to take on more debt. Having more equity could also mean cheaper debt (better interest rates). Debt is considered “senior” to equity, in theory losses should hit investors first and creditors later, so having a larger equity cushion means lower credit risk.
If the company suffered some hard times, they are already starved for cash and on top of that creditors would likely want to reduce their exposure - a perfect storm that could put the company out of business due to lack of liquidity, even when the business model is good in the long term (but who has a crystal ball, eh?). Raising more equity may be their only option.
WoodCore Inc. produces an entire line of office furniture at its manufacturing facility in the United States and then ships its products for sale to various companies in Europe. WoodCore Inc. is involved in A. outsourcing. B. licensing. C. franchising. D. exporting. E. diversifying.
Answer: D. exporting
Explanation:
Exporting is the sale of goods to other countries apart from your own even though the goods being sold were produced in your own country.
Exporting works best when the country doing the exporting is capable of producing the goods being exported at a lower price than the country that it is sending to, that way the people in that country have an incentive to buy it over locally made products. WoodCore is producing in the U.S. and selling elsewhere. This is exporting.
A company's bank statement shows a cash balance of $4,340. Comparing the company's cash records with the monthly bank statement reveals several additional cash transactions such as checks outstanding of $3,900, deposits outstanding of $1,210, NSF check of $320, and service fee of $54. Calculate the correct balance of cash?
Answer:
the correct balance of cash is $1,650
Explanation:
The computation of the correct balance of cash is shown below:
= Cash balance + deposits outstanding - check outstanding
= $4,340 + $1,210 - $3,900
= $1,650
Hence, the correct balance of cash is $1,650
WE basically applied the above formula so that the correct value could arrive
A firm's marginal product of labor is 4 and its marginal product of capital is 5. If the firm adds one unit of labor but does not want its output quantity to change, the firm should A. add 1.25 units of capital. B. use 1.25 fewer units of capital. C. use 0.8 fewer units of capital. D. use 5 fewer units of capital.
Answer: C. use 0.8 fewer units of capital.
Explanation:
The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) shows how much you can decrease capital or labor by in order to keep production constant if you increase either capital or labor.
It is calculated by the formula:
= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital
= 4 / 5
= 0.8
The firm should use 0.8 fewer units of capital in order to maintain the same production level.
8. In the short run, there is a negative relationship between inflation and employment. A: True B. False
Answer: False
In the short-run, inflation and unemployment are inversely related; as one quantity increases, the other decreases. In the long-run, there is no trade-off. In the 1960's, economists believed that the short-run Phillips curve was stable.

Investment Center Sales Income Average Invested Assets Electronics $ 40,500,000 $ 2,916,000 $ 16,200,000 Sporting goods 20,740,000 2,074,000 12,200,000 1. Compute return on investment for each department. Using return on investment, which department is most efficient at using assets to generate returns for the company
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the return on investment is shown below;
We know that
Return on Investment is
= (Net Income ÷ Average Operating Assets] × 100
For Electronics
= [$29,16,000 ÷ 162,00,000] × 100
= 18%
And,
For Sporting goods
= [$20,74,000 ÷ 122,00,000] × 100
= 17%
So here the electronics department should be selected as it has high return on investment
We learned about Cost-Volume-Profit analysis. Review a few of the break even examples in the chapter.

2. Using Break Even Analysis, provide a unique mathematical example to support you answer. (Calculate the breakeven point for a base example, then increase the selling price and re-calculate your breakeven point.) Label all numbers in your examples."
Answer:
decrease
1. fixed cost is 100
variable cost is 10
price = 20
100 / ( 20 - 10) = 10
2. fixed cost is 100
variable cost is 10
price = 30
100 / (30 - 10) = 5
Explanation:
Assume the money supply is $800, the velocity of money is 8, and the price level is 2. Using the quantity theory of money: a. Determine the level of real output.
Answer:
3200
Explanation:
The computation of the level of real output is given below;
We know that
Money supply × velocity of money = Price level × Real output
And,
Nominal output = Price level × real output.
Now
a) level of real output = money supply × velocity of money ÷ price level
= 800 × 8 ÷ 2
= $6400 ÷ 2
= 3200
True or False: The shape of the production function reflects the law of increasing marginal returns. True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
The statement that "The shape of the production function reflects the law of increasing marginal returns" is false. Rather, the shape of the production function simply reflects the law of diminishing marginal returns.
The slope of the production function is used in the measurement of the change in output for every unit of labor input that's added.
Productivity Question 3 options: is nearly the same across countries, and so provides no help explaining differences in the standard of living across countries. explains very little of the differences in the standard of living across countries. explains some, but not most of the differences in the standard of living across countries. explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries.
Answer:
explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.
Basically, the four (4) major expenditure categories of GDP are consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (N).
Productivity is a measure of how efficient is the manufacturing of finished goods and services in a country. Thus, it's a measure of total output with respect to input such as capital, labour, and other resources.
Generally, productivity is a ratio of output (product) to the resources (input) that is required to produce the product and as such determines the economic output of a particular country, as well as the standard of living of its population.
Hence, productivity explains most of the differences in the standard of living across countries based on the value of output generated with a unit of input.
Flimm Company leases an asset over its estimated useful life of six years. At the inception of the lease, the present value of the lease payments is $240,000. The market value of the leased asset is $258,000.
Flimm uses the straight-line method to allocate lease-related assets to accounting periods during which benefits are derived from the leased assets. To allocate the costs of the related asset, Flinn should debit
a) amortization expense for $43,000
b) amortization expense for $40,000
c) depreciation expense for $43,000
d) depreciation expense for $40,000
Answer: amortization expense for $40,000
Explanation:
Based on the question given, we've to choose between the lower of the fair value of the equipment or the present value of the lease payments. Hence, in this case we will choose $240000.
Then, the amortization expense per year will be:
= $240,000 / 6 years
= $40,000
Therefore, the company should debit amortization expense for $40,000.

With its current levels of input use, a firm's MRTS is 1/3 (when capital is on the vertical axis and labor is on the horizontal axis). This implies:__________.
A. the firm conld produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constat).
B. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of labor by one unit (holding capital constant).
C. if the firm reduced its capital stock by one unit, it would have to hire 3 more worlkers to maintain its eurrent level of output.
D. the marginal product of labor is 3 times the marginal product of capital.
Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).
Explanation:
The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:
= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital
= 1 / 3
Marginal product of labor = 1
Marginal product of capital = 3
This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.
If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.
If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
Mawson Lumber uses the high–low method to estimate electricity cost, which varies in relation to machine hours. Based on the following data, how would the cost function be stated if ‘X' is the number of machine hours? Electricity expense Machine hours June $495 410 July $500 400 August $750 900 September $610 500 Group of answer choices $525 + $0.35 X $300 + $0.50 X $500 + $0.50 X $470 + $0.35 X
Answer:
Part 1
The electricity cost, which varies in relation to machine hours is $0.50
Part 2
The Cost function will be :
$300 + $0.50 X
Explanation:
High-low method is used to separate the variable and fixed cost element of a mixed cost or semi variable expense.
Step 1 : Determine the variable cost
Variable Cost = ($750 - $500) ÷ (900 - 400)
= $0.50
Step 2 : Determine the fixed cost
Total Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
hence,
Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost
using the high point to substitute in the formulae we get :
Fixed Cost = $750 - ($0.50 x 900)
= $300
thus,
Total Cost = $300 + $0.50 x

Suppose a basketball player has made 294 out of 359 free throws. If the player makes the next 3 free throws, I will pay you $20. Otherwise you pay me $26. Step 1 of 2 : Find the expected value of the proposition. Round your answer to two decimal places. Losses must be expressed as negative values.
Answer: -$0.74
Explanation:
Expected value of the proposition is:
= (Probability that player makes next 3 free throws * 20) - (Probability that player does not make the next 3 free throws * 26)
Probability that player does not make the next 3 free throws = 294/359 * 294/359 * 294/359
= 0.549235557
Expected value of proposition:
= (0.549235557 * 20) - ( (1 - 0.549235557) * 26)
= 10.98471114 - 11.719875518
= -$0.74

Sayid is the sole shareholder of an S corporation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. At a time when his stock basis is $20,000, the corporation distributes appreciated property worth $40,000 (basis of $20,000). There is no built-in gain. Sayid's taxable gain is:
Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the taxable gain is shown below:
The corporate gain is
= $40,000 - $20,000
= $20,000
Now the stock basis is increased i.e.
= $20,000 + $20,000
= $40.000
Now the stock basis decreased to zero i.e.
= $40,000 - $40,000
= $0
So, here the taxable gain is of $20,000

Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = 948000
Explanation:
Inventory at the beginning of the year = $62000
Inventory at the end of the year = $52000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases during the year - ending inventory
Cost of goods sold = $62000 + 217000 + 137000 + 167000 + 417000 - $52000
Cost of goods sold = 948000
If budgeted beginning inventory is $8,300, budgeted ending inventory is $9,400, and budgeted cost of goods sold is $10,260, budgeted purchases should be: Group of answer choices $9,160 $11,360 $1,960 $860 $1,100
Answer: $11,360
Explanation:
Budgeted cost of goods sold = Budgeted beginning inventory + Budgeted purchases - Budgeted ending inventory
10,260 = 8,300 + Budgeted purchases - 9,400
Budgeted purchases = 10,260 - 8,300 + 9,400
= $11,360
