Answer:
a. 1. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
b. 2. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
Explanation:
a. In order to avoid anti-trust laws, it would be best that Mattel convinces the authorities that the relevant category is all toys not just a subsection. This will show that the toys made by the new company would have a lot of competition from other toy makers across the board which would reduce their chances of being a monopoly and violate merger guidelines.
b. As the bid is unsolicited, Hasbro might want to defend against it. In which case their strategy should be the exact opposite of that of Mattel and they should try to convince the regulatory boards that they would be in the narrowest of markets which would be dolls. This would mean that the merger has a strong chance of leading to a monopoly and would violate merger guidelines.
If the velocity of money is 3 and the amount of narrow money is $1.56 billion, what would be the nominal GDP?
Select one:
a. $8.5 trillion
b. $4.68 billion
c. $4.68 trillion
d. $5.68 billion
= 4.68 billion
Answer:
c. $4.68 trillion
Explanation:
Narrow money refers to the physical money coins and notes within an economy. It is a way of measuring the money that is available for immediate spending in the economy.
The velocity of money is the rate at which money circulates in the economy. Therefore, the velocity of money is a measure of the number of times narrow money circulates in the economy per period.
If the velocity of money is 3, narrow money circulates three times, meaning the value of GDP will be the velocity of money multiplied by narrow money
=3 x 1.56 billion
=4.68 billion

You are considering three alternative banks in which to open a savings account. The first bank offers you an annual rate r1, and the interest is paid monthly. The second bank offers a rate r2, and the interest is paid daily. The third bank offers a rate r3, and it offers continuous compounding.
Give all answers to four decimal places.
1) Suppose you were to save $500.0000 in the first bank. The interest rate is r1=8.0000%. Three years from now, you should have $
2) Suppose you were to save $500.0000 in the second bank. The interest rate is r2=5.0000%. Three years from now, you should have $
3) Suppose you were to save $500.0000 in the third bank. The interest rate is r3=3.0000%. Three years from now, you should have $
4) Let the interest rate in the first bank be r1=8.0000%, and you are considering saving your money for 3 years. The interest rate from the second bank that would make you indifferent between the first and second bank is r2=
5) Let the interest rate in the third bank be r3=3.0000%, and you are considering saving your money for 3 years. The interest rate from the first bank that would make you indifferent between the first and third bank is ????
Answer:
1) Suppose you were to save $500.0000 in the first bank. The interest rate is r1=8.0000%. Three years from now, you should have
effective interest rate = 1.08 = (1 + r)¹²
r = 0.643403% per month
future value = $500,000 x (1.0643403)³⁶ = $629,856
2) Suppose you were to save $500.0000 in the second bank. The interest rate is r2=5.0000%. Three years from now, you should have
effective interest rate = 1.05 = (1 + r)³⁶⁵
r = 0.013368061% per day
future value = $500,000 x (1.00013368061)¹⁰⁹⁵ = $578,812.50
3) Suppose you were to save $500.0000 in the third bank. The interest rate is r3=3.0000%. Three years from now, you should have
future value = $500,000 x e⁰°⁰⁹ = $547,087.14
4) Let the interest rate in the first bank be r1=8.0000%, and you are considering saving your money for 3 years. The interest rate from the second bank that would make you indifferent between the first and second bank is r2=
$629,856 = $500,000 x (1 + i)¹⁰⁹⁵
(1 + i)¹⁰⁹⁵ = 1.259712
1 + i = 1.000210874
i = 0.000210874 = 0.0210874% per day or 7.7% annual
5) Let the interest rate in the third bank be r3=3.0000%, and you are considering saving your money for 3 years. The interest rate from the first bank that would make you indifferent between the first and third bank is
$500,000 x (1 + i)³⁶ = $547,087.14
(1 + i)³⁶ = 1.09417428
i = 0.2503128 per month = 3.05% annual

Alternative Inventory Methods Frate Company was formed on December 1, 2015, and uses the periodic inventory system. The following information is available from Frate's inventory records for Product Ply:
Units Unit Cost
January 1, 2016 (beginning inventory) 1,700 $5.00
Purchases:
January 6, 2016 2,400 6.00
January 25, 2016 2,100 6.50
February 17, 2016 1,500 7.00
March 27, 2016 1,800 7.50
A physical inventory on March 31, 2016 shows 3,400 units on hand.
Required:
Prepare schedules to compute the ending inventory at March 31, 2019, under each of the following inventory methods:
a. FIFO
b. LIFO
c. Weighted average
Show supporting computations in good form.
Answer:
Part a.
Ending Inventory = (100 units x $6.50 + 1,500units x $7.00 + 1,800 units x $7.50)
= $24,650
Part b.
Ending Inventory = (100 units x $6.50 + 1,500units x $7.00 + 1,800 units x $7.50)
= $24,650
Part c.
Ending Inventory = 3,400 units x $6.37
=$21,658
Explanation:
It is important to note that Frate Company uses the periodic inventory system. In periodic inventory system, inventory valuation and cost of sales are determined at the end of the period.
Units Sold = Opening units + Purchases - Closing units
= 1,700 + (2,400 + 2,100 + 1,500 + 1,800) - 3,400
= 6,100 units
FIFO
First In First Out (FIFO) assumes that the inventory that was purchased first is the first to be delivered to the customer. Therefore, inventory valuation is at the latest prices.
Ending Inventory = (100 units x $6.50 + 1,500units x $7.00 + 1,800 units x $7.50)
= $24,650
LIFO
Last In First Our (LIFO) assumes that the last inventory purchased is the first to be delivered to the customer. Therefore, inventory valuation is at the earlier prices.
Ending Inventory = (1,700 units x $6.00 + 1,700 units x $5.00)
= $18,700
Weighted Average
In weighted average method, the unit cost of inventory is recalculated after every purchase made. Therefore the inventory valuation is at the most recent calculated unit cost.
Ending Inventory = Units on hand x Average unit cost
where,
Average unit cost = Total Cost for unit available for sale ÷ units available for sale
= (1,700x $5.00 + 2,400 x6.00+ 2,100x 6.50+ 1,500 x7.00+ 1,800 x7.50) ÷ (1,700 + 2,400 + 2,100 + 1,500+ 1,800)
= $6.37
therefore,
Ending Inventory = 3,400 units x $6.37
=$21,658

An internal study by the Technology Services department at Lahey Electronics revealed company employees receive an average of two emails per hour. Assume the arrival of these emails is approximated by the Poisson distribution.
a. What is the probability Linda Lahey, company president, received exactly 1 email between 4 P.M. and 5 P.M. yesterday?
b. What is the probability she received 5 or more emails during the same period?
c. What is the probability she did not receive any emails during the period?
Answer:
0.2706 ; 0.05265 ; 0.1353
Explanation:
Given that :
λ = 2
According to the poisson distribution formula :
P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) / x!
P(x = 1) = (2^1 *e^-2) / 1!
P(x = 1) = (2 * 0.1353352) = 0.2706
P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)
1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - [p(x = 0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2) + p(x = 3) + p(x = 4)]
We obtain and add the individual probabilities. To save computation time, we can use a poisson distribution calculator :
1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - (0.13534+0.27067+0.27067+0.18045+0.09022)
1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - 0.94735 = 0.05265
P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5) = 0.05265
Probability that no emails was received :
x = 0
P(x = 0) = (2^0 *e^-2) / 0!
P(x = 0) = (1 * 0.1353352) / 1 = 0.1353
Meiji Isetan Corp. of Japan has two regional divisions with headquarters in Osaka and Yokohama. Selected data on the two divisions follow:
Division
Osaka Yokohama
Sales $3,000,000 $9,000,000
Net operating expenses $210,000 $720,000
Average operating assets $1,000,000 $4,000,000
Required:
a. For each divisions, compute the return on investment (ROI) in terms of margin and turnover. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. Assume that the company evaluates performance using residual income and that the minimum required rate of return for any division is 15%. Compute the residual income for each division.
Answer:
1. Rate of Interest = Net operating expenses/Average operating assets
Osaka = $210000/$1000000 = 0.21 = 21%
Yokohama = $720000 / $4000000 = 0.18 = 18%
2. Osaka Yokohama
Average operating assets $1,000,000 $4,000,000
M. required return at 15% $150,000 $600,000
Net operating income $210,000 $720,000
Minimum required return $150,000 $600,000
Residual income $60,000 $120,000
How do lenders and borrower's requirements differ in financial services?
Answer:
Borrowers often require quite large quantities of funds whereas the lender generally will only have smaller amounts of surplus funds; in other words, the capacity of the lender is less than the size of the investment project. For example, the purchase of a house is likely to require more funds than can be provided by any individual lender.
