Answer:

1.4484 %

Explanation:

The formula for Yield to Maturity =

[C + (FP - MP) /n]/FP + MP/2

Where

C = Coupon rate = 8% = 0.08

MP = Market value or price = $865

FP = Face or Par value = $1000

n = number of years = 10

Yield to Maturity =[ 0.08 +(1000 - 865) /10]/ 1000 + 865/2

Yield to Maturity = 1.4484 %

Microeconomics is one of the significant center regions inside the scholarly field of financial aspects. While the degree and techniques for microeconomics can be intricate, its general center is moderately direct. Microeconomics inspects the regular activities of the commercial center, zeroing in on the choices made by people – individuals and organizations – as they purchase, sell, contribute and settle on other monetary choices. You don't have to officially consider microeconomics to apply a portion of its standards to your private company.

Answer:

the effective annual rate of interest is 37.50%

Explanation:

The computation of the effective annual rate of interest is as follows:

Interest = Principal × rate × time period

$12 = $128 × rate × 3 months ÷ 12 months  

$48 = $128 × rate

rate = 37.50%

Hence, the effective annual rate of interest is 37.50%

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct annual rate could come

Answer:

Present value is nothing but how much future sum of money worth today. It is one of the important concepts in finance and it is a basis for stock pricing, bond pricing, financial modeling, banking, and insurance, etc. Present value provides us with an estimated amount to be spent today to have an investment worth a certain amount of money at a specific point in the future. Present value is also called a discounted value. It is an indicator for investors that whatever money he will receive today can earn a return in the future. With the help of present value, method investors calculate the present value of a firm’s expected cash flow to decide if a stock is worth to invest today or not.

The formula for calculating PV is shown below

PV = CF/ (1+r)n

Here ‘CF’ is future cash flow, ‘r’ is a discounted rate of return and ‘n’ is the number of periods or year.

Example

Let’s say that you have been promised by someone that he will give you 10,000.00 Rs 5 year from today and interest rate is 8% so no we want to know what the present value of 10,000.00 Rs which you will receive in future so,

PV = 10,000/ (1+0.08)5

PV = 6805.83 (To the nearest Decimal)

So present-day value of Rs 10,000.00 is Rs 6805.83

Explanation:

Answer:

The differences between the industrial organization (I/O) and the resource-based models of above-average returns can be summarized as follows:

1. The I/O model stresses that above-average returns can only be achieved given the opportunities and threats of the prevailing market structure.  This implies that the returns that the entity achieves depend on whether the market is a perfect competition, a monopoly, a monopolistic competition, or an oligopoly.  It is eternally-focused.  The I/O model is a market-based strategic approach that is environmentally-driven.

2. On the other hand, the resource-based model explains that the entity could achieve above-average returns because of the entity's unique or heterogeneous resources and capabilities.  Therefore, this approach tends to match a firm's resources and capabilities to the market opportunities that arise in the external environment.  This strategic approach concentrates on the strengths and weaknesses of the internal resources and capability endowment.

3. In any given industry, the significance or validity of these models can be determined by examining how the business entity spends its resources.  Is the entity developing its internal capability through training and, what is its cultural orientation?  Or is it fighting the competition with its resources, thereby dissipating energy on market positioning?

Explanation:

The I/O model or market-based theory is of the view that market opportunities and threats determine the achievable outcomes for an entity.  It takes what the market gives.  The resource-based theory has a different view.  It suggests that the internal resources an entity possesses are valuable, rare, uncommon, and difficult for competitors to replicate.  Therefore, it tries to develop these resources and capabilities in order to achieve superior performance.  It is not a price or profit taker but a price mover and profit shaker.

Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

The amount of direct labor cost is calculated as;

= Increase in work in process during the year + Increase in work in process during the year

Given that;

Increase in work in process during the year = $2,500

Further increase in work in process during the year = $2,500

Direct labor cost = $2,500 + $2,500

Direct labor cost $5,000

Answer:

A cash budget is very important, especially for smaller companies. It allows a company to establish the amount of credit that it can extend to customers without having problems with liquidity. A cash budget helps avoid a shortage of cash during periods in which a company encounters a high number of expenses.

Explanation:

Answer:

$0.70 per stock

Explanation:

before tax corporate income = $2.50 per stock

after tax corporate income = $2.50 x (1 - 30%) = $1.75 per stock

distributed dividends = $1.75 x 50% = $0.875 per stock

since the tax rate on dividends is 20%, then the after tax gain earned by stockholders is $0.875 x (1 - 20%) = $0.70 per stock

Some dividends are taxed as long term capital gains (like these), which decreases the tax rate paid by stockholders. If they were taxed at the normal income rate, the tax rate would have been 8% higher.

Answer:

the break even point in dollars is $360,000

Explanation:

The computation of the break even sales in dollars is given below:

Break even sales in dollars is

= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin ratio

where,

Contribution margin ratio is

= (Sales - variable cost) ÷ (Sales)

= ($390,000 - $269,100) ÷ ($390,000)

= 31%

Now the break even point in dollars is

= $111,600 ÷ 0.31

= $360,000

Hence, the break even point in dollars is $360,000

Answer:

Randall

The amount of SE tax he must pay is:

$22,540.60

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net profit income for 2019 = $209,000

Self-employment tax:

First $132,900 * 15.3% = $20,333.70

Excess of $76,100 ($209 - 132,900) * 2.9% = $2,206.90

Total SE tax = $22,540.60

b) The IRS states that Randall's self-employment (SE) tax 2019 rate is 15.3 percent on the first $132,900 of his net profit income plus 2.9 percent on the net income in excess of $76,100 ($209 - 132,900).  It has been ascertained that being self-employed can significantly lower the tax bill. The self-employed can claim specific benefits, allowances, and reliefs if they are business expenses. These business expenses may include various office costs, advertising and marketing, and travel costs.

Answer:

Option e: Consumer saving

Explanation:

Consumer saving shows that the economy of a given country is growing. When a citizen of a country is employed, then unemployment decreases and consumers can be afford to buy some of their needs and still save some amount of money or valuables for future use.

An increase in consumer savings can lead to more production, investment and others.

Answer:

The legal considerations that would be taken into account when pricing items in a small hardware store are:

1. Predatory pricing: This strategy prices items very low for the purpose of eliminating competition. It is illegal.  Since predatory pricing violates antitrust laws, it causes the rising of monopolistic markets and the creation of monopolies.  The allegations of predatory pricing are usually hard to prove because of the counter-argument that it could be part of normal competition.

2. Price discrimination:  The Robinson-Patman act prohibits price discrimination or the attempt of companies to sell the same goods at different prices to different consumers.

3. Both predatory pricing and price discrimination because of their negative economic consequences are regarded as deliberate moves by business entities to undermine the marketplace and the forces of demand and supply.  They are frowned at ethically and severely punished in the court of law.

Explanation:

When setting prices, it is a standard practice to consider all factors that could result in business problems and legal battles.  It is not only economic profit consideration that should be taken care of, but there are competitive, socio-legal, and growth factors to be considered.  Ethics is also another important consideration.  Unethical violations could lead to fraudulent and illegal prosecutions.

Answer: A successful strategy is to show guests the restaurants and explain the cuisine before they go to their rooms, which has prompted more guests to dine in the restaurants during their stay...The best way to prevent these occurrances is to have a good control system, which should include people who are paid to use the bar like regular guests, but are really there to check on the bartenders.

Explanation:

Restaurants; hotel guests are not always predictable. Sometimes they will use the hotel restauraunts, and other times they will dine out. A successful strategy is to show guests the restaurants and explain the cuisine before they go to their rooms, which has prompted more guests to dine in the restaurants during their stay.

Bar; Bars is measured by the pour/cost percentage. Post cost is obtained by dividing the cost of depleted inventory by sales over a period of time. Operations with lower pour costs have more sophisticated control systems and a higher-volume catering operation. Some bartenders tend to overpour measures to receive larger tips. The best way to prevent these occurrances is to have a good control system, which should include people who are paid to use the bar like regular guests, but are really there to check on the bartenders.
