Answer:
Charge $150 for a suit
Explanation:
Bundling strategy is the pricing of goods by a business despite different customers having different preferential prices they are willing to pay for the good.
In this scenario Consumers of type A will pay $100 for a coat and $50 for pants. Consumers of type B will pay $75 for a coat and $75 for pants.
The two customers are willing to pay $150 for both the jacket and the pants.
So the best decision for the company is to sell a suit made up of the jacket and pants for $150.
This way bother customers will get their preferred price.
Charging $150 for the suit is the optimal commodity bundling strategy in this scenario. Thus, Option (C) is correct.
Consumers of type A are willing to pay $100 for a coat and $50 for pants, totaling $150. By offering a bundled price of $150, the firm ensures that consumers of type A are willing to purchase the suit at their maximum willingness to pay.
Consumers of type B, who are willing to pay $75 for both the coat and pants individually, also find the bundled price of $150 attractive because it allows them to acquire both items at their maximum willingness to pay.
Thus, Option (C) i.e. charging $150 for a suit would maximize the firm's revenue by catering to both types of consumers and capturing their respective willingness to pay.

Novak Corp. has 6000 shares of 5%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 12000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2018. The board of directors declares and pays a $55800 dividend in 2019 and in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above data,
Preferred shares = 6,000 shares × $100 = $600,000
Dividend on preference shares = $600,000 × 5% = $30,000 per year
Dividend declared in 2019
= $55,800
Preferred dividend in 2019 = $30,000 × 2 = $60,000
Dividend declared in 2020 =$55,800
Preferred dividend declared in 2020 = $30,000 + $4,200 = $34,200
Dividend paid to common stock holders = $55,800 - $34,200 = $21,600
You have $100 you have $100 to invest. If you can earn 12% interest, about how long does it take for your $100 investment to grow to $200? Suppose the interest rate is just half that, at 6%. At half the interest rate, does it take twice as long to double your money? Why or why not? How long does it take
Answer:
8.33333 years ;
Yes, the time doubles.
Explanation:
Investment amount = principal = $100
Interest rate, r = 12%
Time taken for investment to grow to $200
Using the simple interest formula :
A = P(1 + rt) ; t = time taken ; A = final amount = $200
200 = 100(1 + 0.12t)
200 = 100 + 12t
200 - 100 = 12t
100 = 12t
t = 100 / 12
t = 8.333 years
Time taken, if rate, r = 6%
200 = 100(1 + 0.06t)
200 = 100 + 6t
200 - 100 = 6t
100 = 6t
t = 100 / 6
t = 16.6666 years

Pankraz Corporation, a calendar year taxpayer, is formed on April 1, 2020. In connection with its formation, it incurs organizational expenditures of $54,000. Pankraz wants to claim as much of these expenses as soon as possible. Round per month amount to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. Therefore, its deduction for 2020 is $fill in the blank 1
Answer:
$3,650
Explanation:
Calculation to determine its deduction i
First step is to calculate the Expense
Expense=$5,000 - ($54,000 - $50,000)
Expense=$5,000-$4,000
Expense= $1,000
Second step is to calculate the Amortization
Amortization= ($54,000 - $1,000)/180 months
Amortization= $294.44 x 9 months
Amortization= $2,649.99
Amortization= $2,650 (Approximately)
Now let calculate the total deduction
Total deduction =$1,000 + $2,650
Total deduction= $3,650
Therefore, its deduction for 2020 is $3,650
Q4) The price of a luxury car increased from 42.000 euros to 44.000 euros. Then the demand for
this car declined from 100 units to 20 units. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for the car.
Answer:
Price elasticity of demand = 28.67 (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Old price of car = 42.000 euros
New price of car = 44.000 euros
Quantity of car old = 100 units
Quantity of car new = 20 units
Find:
Price elasticity of car
Computation:
Price elasticity of demand = (Percentage change in quantity)/(Percentage change in price)
Price elasticity of demand = [{(Q2-Q1)100}/{(Q1+Q2)/2}] / [{(P2-P1)100}/{(P1+P2)/2}]
Price elasticity of demand = [{(20-100)100}/{(20+100)/2}] / [{(44000-42000)100}/{(44000+42000)/2}]
Price elasticity of demand = [{-8000}/{60}] / [{200000}/{(43000}]
Price elasticity of demand = 133.33 / 4.65
Price elasticity of demand = 28.67 (Approx.)

Robert is the sole shareholder and CEO of ABC, Inc., an S corporation that is a qualified trade or business. During the current year, ABC has net income of $325,000 after deducting Robert’s $100,000 salary. In addition to his compensation, ABC pays Robert dividends of $250,000. What is Robert’s qualified business income? Would your answer to part (a) change if you determined that reasonable compensation for someone with Robert’s experience and responsibilities is $200,000? Why or why not
Answer and Explanation:
a. The calculation of the robert qualified business income is shown below:
Since robert is the sole shareholder and CEO of the ABC Inc and earned the income of $325,000 after subtracting the deduction of $100,000 salary
Also their is a dividend of $250,000
But the qualified business income should be equivalent to the net income i.e. $325,000
b. In the case when there is $200,000 so the net income would be decreased by $100,000
Now the qualified business income is
= $325,000 - $100,000
= $225,000
Free Flight Corporation, located in Denver, Colorado, produces bicycle accessories, including bicycle helmets which requires a rigid, crushable foam.

According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.66 kilograms of foam, at a cost of $7.00 per kilogram.
Required:
1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of foam (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,800 helmets?
2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ * SP) to make 3,800 helmets?
3. What is the materials spending variance?
4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
(For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed
2. Standard cost allowed for actual output
3. Materials spending variance
4. Materials price variance
Materials quantity variance
Answer:
1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg
2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556
3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable
4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable
Materials quantity variance $1596 unfavorable
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the standard quantity of kilograms of foam
Standard quantity of kilograms allowed = 0.66*3800
Standard quantity of kilograms allowed =2508kg
2. Calculation to determine the standard materials cost allowed
Standard cost allowed for actual output = 2508kg *7
Standard cost allowed for actual output=$17,556
3. Calculation to determine the materials spending variance using this formula
Material spending variance = Standard cost - Actual cost
Let plug in the formula
Material spending variance= $17,556- $18,058
Material spending variance= $502 Unfavorable
4. Calculation to determine the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance
Material price variance = (7- $18,058/2,736)*2,736
Material price variance = $1094Favorable
Material quantity variance =(2508kg-2,736)*7
Material quantity variance= $1596 unfavorable
Therefore:
1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg
2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556
3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable
4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable
Materials quantity variance $1596 unfavorable
The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.65. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $2.8 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 14%, and T-bills currently offer a 6% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the P/E ratio.
Answer:
a.
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68 times
Explanation:
a.
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
D0 * (1+g) is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of returnWe first need to calculate the values for D0, g and r.
D0 can be calculate by multiplying the earnings per share by (1 - Plowback Ratio)
D0 = 2.8 * (1 - 2/3)
D0 = $0.93333333333 rounded off to $0.93
To calculate the value of g, we need to multiply the ROE by the Plowback ratio.
g = 0.09 * 2/3
g = 0.06 or 6%
To calculate the value of r, we will use the CAPM equation.
r = risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
r = 0.06 + 1.65 * (0.14 - 0.06)
r = 0.192 or 19.2%
P0 = 0.93333333333 * (1+0.06) / (0.192 - 0.06)
P0 = $7.49494949492 rounded off to $7.49
b.
The P/E ratio can be calculated by dividing the price per share by the earnings per share.
P/E = 7.49494949492 / 2.8
P/E ratio = 2.67676767676 times rounded off to 2.68
Finerly Corporation sells cosmetics through a network of independent distributors. Finerly shipped cosmetics to its distributors and is considering whether it should record $220,000 of revenue upon shipment of a new line of cosmetics. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold. How much revenue should Finerly recognize upon delivery to its distributors
Answer:
The amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.
Explanation:
From the question, the following two very important points can be observed:
1. Finerly expects the distributors to be able to sell the cosmetics, but is uncertain because it has little experience with selling cosmetics of this type.
2. Finerly is committed to accepting the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold.
Since there is an uncertainty that the the distributors will be able to sell the cosmetics and Finerly is committed to accepting them back from the distributors if they are not sold, these imply that the amount of sales revenue cannot be known or reasonably estimated until when the distributors actually sell the cosmetics.
Therefore, the amount of revenue Finerly should recognize upon delivery to its distributors is $0.

Part 2
Inventory = $31,250
revenues = $163,750
expenses = $93,750
gross profit = $70,000
Explanation:
inventory = Purchases - Cost of sales
= $125,000 - $93,750
= $31,250
revenues = Sales to Customers paid up or not
= $163,750
expenses = Cost of sales
= $93,750
gross profit = Sales - Cost of sales
= $163,750 - $93,750
= $70,000

Bramble Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $325,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $212,000; and fixed costs $70,400. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume. Net income $ 2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales. Net income $ 3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000. Net income $ Which course of action will produce the highe
Answer
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or variable cost
Net income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost -
10% increase in selling price = $325,000 × 10% = $357,500
Net profit = $357,500 - $212,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $75,100
2. Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales
Variable costs = $325,000 × 60% = $195,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $195,000 - $70,400
Net profit = $59,600
3. Reduce fixed costs by $18,000
Net profit = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Net profit = $325,000 - $212,000 - $18,000
Net profit = $95,000
A firm has current assets that could be sold for their book value of $22 million. The book value of its fixed assets is $60 million, but they could be sold for $90 million today. The firm has total debt with a book value of $40 million, but interest rate declines have caused the market value of the debt to increase to $50 million. What is this firm's market-to-book ratio
Answer:
the firm market to book ratio is 1.48
Explanation:
The computation of the market to book ratio is shown below:
The Market values is
= $22 million + $90 million - $50 million
= $ 62 million
And, the Book values is
= $22 million + $60 million - $40 million
= $42 million
Now the firm market to book ratio is
= $62 million ÷ $42 million
= 1.48
Hence, the firm market to book ratio is 1.48

Of the remaining $350, Barry sends $30 to the government in sales taxes, takes home $220 in wages, and retains $100 in his business to add new equipment in the future. From the $220 that Barry takes home, he pays $70 in income taxes.
a. gross domestic product
b. net national product
c. national income
d. personal income
e. disposable personal income
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. gross domestic product
The GDP is $400 which is the money that Barry collects for haircut.
b. net national product
Net National Product:
= GDP – Depriciation
= $400 - $50
= $350
c. national income
The national income is the total income that the residents of the country earns and this will be same as Net National Product which is $350
d. personal income
Personal income:
= National income – Retained earnings
= $350 - $100 - $30
= $220
e. disposable personal income
Disposable personal income:
= Personal income – Personal tax
= $220 - $70
= $150

Determine the annual lease payments for each situation:
Answer:
a. The annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.
b. The annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.
c. The annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.
Explanation:
The annual lease payments can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:
P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)
Where,
For Situation 1
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $62,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 10%, or 0.01
n = Number of years of lease term = 5
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($62,000 * (0.01 * (1 + 0.01)^5)) / (((1+0.01)^5) - 1)
P = $12,774.47
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.
For Situation 2
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $421,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 11%, or 0.11
n = Number of years of lease term = 10
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($421,000 * (0.11 * (1 + 0.11)^10)) / (((1 + 0.11)^10) - 1)
P = $71,486.40
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.
For Situation 3
P = Annual lease payments = ?
A = Fair value of leased asset = $186,000
r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 9%, or 0.09
n = Number of years of lease term = 4
Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:
P = ($186,000 * (0.09 * (1 + 0.09)^4)) / (((1 + 0.09)^4) - 1)
P = $57,412.37
Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.
Hurte-Paroxysm Products, Inc. (HP) of the United States exports computer printers to Brazil, whose currency, the reals (symbol R$) havebeen trading at R$3.40/US$. Exports to Brazil are currently 50,000 printers per year at the reals equivalent of $200 each. A strong rumor exists that the reals will be devalued to R$4.00/$ within two weeks by the Brazilian government. Should the devaluation take place, the exchange rate isexpected to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. Based on this forecast, HP Products may either (1) maintain the same realprice and sell for fewer dollars, in which case Brazilian volume will not change, or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the realprice in Brazil to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume. Direct costs in the U.S. are 60% of the U.S. sales price.
Required:
a. What would be the short-run (one-year) impact of each pricing strategy?
b. Which do you recommend?
If HP maintains the same real price and same unit volume, what will be the firm's gross profits?
Answer:
Hurte-Paroxysm Products, Inc. (HP)
The short-run impact of each pricing strategy is as follows:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $170 Maintain Price of $200
Gross profit $2,500,000 $3,200,000
Reduction in Gross Profit $1,500,000 $800,000
b. (2) maintain the same dollar price of $200, raise the real price in Brazil (to R$800 from R$680)to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume.
c. If HP maintains the same real price and same unit volume, the firm's gross profits will be $2,500,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Exchange rate = R$3.40/US$
Current exports of printers per year to Brazil = 50,000
US unit price of printer in dollars = $200
Brazil unit price of printer in R$ equivalent = R$680 ($200 * R$3.40)
Unit price of printer in R$ when reals is devalued = R$800 ($200 * R$4.00)
The reduced dollar price with devaluation, when real price is maintained = $170 (R$680/R$4.00)
Before Devaluation of Brazil's Real (R$):
Sales volume 50,000
Sales revenue $10,000,000 (50,000 * $200)
Direct costs 6,000,000 (50,000 * $120)
Gross profit $4,000,000
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $170 Maintain Price at $200
Sales volume 50,000 40,000 (50,000 * 80%)
Sales revenue $8,500,000 $8,000,000 ($200 * 40,000)
Direct costs 6,000,000 4,800,000 ($120 * 40,000)
Gross profit $2,500,000 $3,200,000 ($80 * 40,000)
Direct costs = $6m ($120 * 50,000) = $4.8m ($120 * 40,000)
In its most recent annual report, Appalachian Beverages reported current assets of $54,000 and a current ratio of 1.80. Assume that the following transactions were completed: (1) purchased merchandise for $6,000 on account, and (2) purchased a delivery truck for $10,000, paying $1,000 cash and signing a two-year promissory note for the balance.
Compute the updated current ratio (round answers to 2 decimal places)
Transaction (1) ________________
Transaction (2) ________________
Answer:
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666 rounded off to 1.67
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388 rounded off to 1.64
Explanation:
The current ratio is a measure of liquidity which measures the amount of current assets a business has to pay off each $1 of current liability. It is calculated as follows,
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
We know the initial current ratio and current assets. The initial current liabilities will be,
1.8 = 54000 / Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = 54000 / 1.8
Current Liabilities = $30000
Transaction 1
The result of transaction 1 will be that the current assets will increase by $6000 as inventory increases and the current liabilities will also increase by $6000 as accounts payable are increasing. The new current ratio will be,
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = (54000 + 6000) / (30000 + 6000)
Current Ratio - Transaction 1 = 1.6666 rounded off to 1.67
Transaction 2
The result of transaction 2 will be that the current assets will decrease by $1000 as payment for truck which is a fixed asset is made partly by cash and the current liabilities will not increase as the note signed for the remaining payment of the truck is due after 2 years thus it is a non current liability. The new current ratio will be,
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = (54000 + 6000 -1000) / (30000 + 6000)
Current Ratio - Transaction 2 = 1.6388 rounded off to 1.64

d. 3,014,240.
Answer:
Cost of Land = $1,471,800
Cost of Building = $4,626,960
Explanation:
Note: "The options attached to the question are incorrect because its belongs to another question entirely and this can be seen as attached as picture below"
1. Cost of Land = Purchase Value + Cost Incurred to Tear Down two Buildings - Salvage + Legal Fees + Title Insurance Cost + Assessment Cost
Cost of Land = $1345000 + $116000 - $8100 + $5500 + $3900 + $9500
Cost of Land = $1,471,800
2. Cost of Building = Architect's Fees + Liability Insurance Cost + Excavation Cost + Contractor's Payment + Interest Cost
Cost of Building = $46900 + $4200 + $15860 + $4300000 + 260000
Cost of Building = $4,626,960
The Jenkins Corporation has purchased an executive jet. The company has agreed to pay $200,000 per year for the next 10 years and an additional $1,000,000 at the end of the 10th year. The seller of the jet is charging 6% annual interest. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the liability that would be recorded by Jenkins.'
Answer:
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that would be recorded as a liability, we need to find the present value of the jet. The present value can be calculated by discounting the cash flows provided in the question. The 200000 cash flows that will be payable every year are in the form of an ordinary annuity and their present value will be calculated using the attached formula. The present value of 1000000 that is payable at the end of the 10th year will be calculated as follows,
Present Value of Cash flow = Cash Flow / (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the discount rate t is the time periodPresent value of liability = 200000 * [(1 - (1+0.06)^-10) / 0.06] +
1000000 / (1+0.06)^10
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19

The market consensus is that Analog Electronic Corporation has an ROE of 9% and a beta of 1.70. It plans to maintain indefinitely its traditional plowback ratio of 2/3. This year's earnings were $3.6 per share. The annual dividend was just paid. The consensus estimate of the coming year's market return is 15%, and T-bills currently offer a 5% return. a. Find the price at which Analog stock should sell. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$7.95
Explanation:
The computation of the price at which the stock should sell is shown below;
But before we need to determine the following calculations
Sustainable growth rate, g is
= ROE × b
= 9% × (2 ÷3)
= 6%
Now
Cost of Equity = Rf + beta × (Rm - Rf)
= 5% + 1.70 ×(15% - 5%)
= 22%
Now finally the Price is
= D1 ÷ (r - g)
= $3.6 × 1 ÷ 3 × (1 + 6%) ÷ (22% - 6%)
= $7.95
A company has current assets of 100,000, total assets of 250,000, current liabilities of 20,000, and long-term liabilities of 50,000. How much of its existing current assets can the company use to acquire equipment without allowing its current ratio to decline below 2.0 to 1
Answer:
$60,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below
Here the current liabilities is $20,000
And, the current ratio is 2:1
So, as we know that
The current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities
So, the current asset is $40,000
= $40,000 ÷ 20,000
= 2.0 to 1
Now the amount required to purchase an equipment is
= $100,000 - $40,000
= $60,000
Think about an organizational change that recently affected you. This could be a change at work in which jobs or procedures were changed, or it could be a change at school, such as a change in curriculum requirements or major revisions in registration procedures. How effectively did the organization manage the change? What could the organization have done differently to reduce resistance to the change? Your post should reflect the terms and concepts in Chapter 15.
Explanation:
One good example is the recent change in the way we learn at school (remote learning). For many students, it was the first time they had to receive instructions from a teacher via videoconferencing.
Many organizations tried to adjust to this new normal, however, most organizations were confused about what training to provide, how long to should they plan for, etc.
Reports say that many teachers found it difficult to adapt to this method of teaching, hence, some were resistant to this change. However, if proper enlightenment were carried out, as well as employing some motivational factors, such resistance to change would have been minimal.
