Answer:
Being result-driven means that you are driven by the outcome of your goal rather than the process itself. It means that you put in effort and energy in order to get the best results in the end. I think I'm a result-driven person since I strive to get high grades and also because I'm a perfectionist. All in all being result-driven means that you are an individual that strives for the end goal/result that comes from your exertion of effort in that subject area.
Hope I helped, have a nice day :)

Assume that an investor purchased a put option on BP with an exercise price of $1.900 for $0.0215 per unit. There are 31,250 units in a GBP options contract. At the time of the option expiration date, the spot price for GBP was $1.885. What was the net profit/loss on this option to the investor?
a. $203.125
b. $671.8750
c. $468.75
d. $1,140.625
Answer:
a. $203.125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net profit/loss on this option to the investor
Net profit/loss=((1.900 - 1.885) - 0.0215)(31,250)
Net profit/loss=(0.015-0.0215)*31,250
Net profit/loss=0.0065*31,250
Net profit/loss=$203.125
Therefore the net profit/loss on this option to the investor will be $203.125
Anyina Corporation has an actual profit of $80,000. The break-even point is $500,000 and the variable expenses are 60% of sales. Given this information, the margin of safety, based on actual sales, is:
Answer:
Margin of safety = $200,000
Explanation:
Given:
Actual profit = $80,000
Break-even point = $500,000
Variable expenses = 60% of sales
Find:
Margin of safety
Computation:
Assume sales = a
So,
Variable expenses = 0.6a
Pv ratio = [(Sales - Variable expenses) / Sales]100
Pv ratio = [(a - 0.6a)/a]100
Pv ratio = 40%
Margin of safety = Profit / Pv ratio
Margin of safety = 80,000 / 40%
Margin of safety = $200,000
Gilmore, Inc., had equity of $135,000 at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, the company had total assets of $290,000. During the year, the company sold no new equity. Net income for the year was $29,000 and dividends were $3,400. a. What is the sustainable growth rate for the company
Answer:
A. 18.96%
B. 18.96%
C. 15.94%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the sustainable growth rate for the company
First step is to calculate the Ending equity
Ending equity = 135,000 + 29,000 -3,400
Ending equity=$160,600.
Second step is to calculate the return on equity
Return on equity =29,000/160,600
Return on equity=0.18057285
Third step is to calculate the retention ratio
Retention ratio =(Net income- dividends) / Net income
Retention ratio= (29,000-3400) / 29,000
Retention ratio=25,600 /29,000
Retention ratio=0.88275862.
Now let calculate the Sustainable growth rate using this formula
Sustainable growth rate = (Return on equity *Retention ratio) / [1-(Return on equity*retention ratio)]
Let plug in the formula
Sustainable growth rate=(0.18057285*0.88275862)/ [1-(0.18057285*0.88275862)]
Sustainable growth rate=0.15940224/ [1-0.15940224]
Sustainable growth rate=0.1896*100
Sustainable growth rate=18.96%.
b. Calculation to determine the sustainable growth rate if you use the formula ROE band beginning of period equity
First step is to calculate the return on equity using beginning of the period equity
Return on equity using beginning of the period equity=$29,000 /135,000
Return on equity using beginning of the period equity=0.21481481.
Now let calculate the sustainable growth rate if you use the formula ROE band beginning of period equity
roe * b = 0.21481481*0.88275862
ROE band=0.1896*100
ROE band=18.96%.
c.return on equity using ending of period equity = 29,000/160,600
=>0.18057285
roe*b=>0.18057285*0.88275862
=>0.1594
=>15.94%.

Installing an automated production system costing $300,000 is initially expected to save Zia Corporation $52,000 in expenses annually. If the system needs $7,500 in operating and maintenance costs each year and has a salvage value of $30,000 at year 10, what is the IRR of this system
Answer:
8.87%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-300,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 9 = $52,000 - $7,500 = $44500
Cash flow in year 10 = $44500 + $30,000 = $74500
IRR = 8.87%
To determine the value of IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
Q2. With the help of book please elaborate What is the difference between a corporate strategy and a competitive strategy? Give three examples of each. (Words limit up to 150)
Answer and Explanation:
Competitive and corporate strategy are very important for the success and good management of a business. Competitive strategy is one that allows a company to promote elements capable of making it different from its competitors. Examples of competitive strategy are offering lower prices, higher quality products and negotiation between customers.
Corporate strategy, on the other hand, is one that allows the company to generate elements that will increase its profit and strengthen its capacity to be more competitive. Examples of this type of strategy are the acquisition of subsidiary companies, the merger of competing companies and the restructuring of the company.
Mannisto Inc. uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption. In a year of rising costs and prices, the firm reported net income of $219,017 and average assets of $1,413,720. If Mannisto had used the LIFO cost flow assumption in the same year, its cost of goods sold would have been $36,220 more than under FIFO, and its average assets would have been $31,640 less than under FIFO.
Required:
Calculate the firm's ROI under each cost flow assumption (FIFO and LIFO).
Answer:
a) Under the FIFO method:-
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method:-
ROI = 13.2%
Explanation:
ROI = Net Income * 100 / Avverage assets.
a) Under the FIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{219017*100}{1413720} \\ROI = 15.49[/tex]
ROI = 15.49%.
Under LIFO method
[tex]ROI= \frac{182797*100}{1382080} \\ROI=13.2%[/tex]
ROI = 13.2%
Net income Under LIFO= Net income under FIFO-Increased cost of goods sold
= $219017-$36,220= $182797.
Average assets under LIFO= Average assets under FIFO-Average assets that are less under LIFO
= $1413720 - $31,640= $1382080.

Suppose independent truckers operate in a perfectly competitive constant cost industry. If these firms are earning positive economic profits, what happens in the long run to the following: The price of trucking services
Answer:
The price of trucking services would fall until equilibrium prices are reached. Only normal profit would be earned in the long run
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
Holt Enterprises recently paid a dividend, D0, of $3.50. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 19% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 10% thereafter. The firm's required return is 13%. How far away is the horizon date? The terminal, or horizon, date is Year 0 since the value of a common stock is the present value of all future expected dividends at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes nonconstant. This occurs at time zero. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the beginning of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2. The terminal, or horizon, date is infinity since common stocks do not have a maturity date.
Answer:
Holt Enterprises
The terminal, or horizon, date is:
the date when the growth rate becomes constant. This occurs at the end of Year 2.
Explanation:
a) Recent dividend, DO = $3.50
Expected non-constant growth = 19%
Period of non-constant growth = 2 years
Expected constant rate of growth = 10% after 2 years of non-constant growth
The firm's required return rate = 13%
b) The terminal or horizon date is, therefore, from the end of year 2 or beginning of year 3, when constant growth sets in with the Holt stock.
At the horizon date the dividend, D3, must have grown to $5.42 approx.
Then, the horizon value is given by the formula = D3 / required rate - growth rate
= 5.42 / 0.13 - 0.01
= 5.42 / 0.03
= $181
3. Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.
Answer:
The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
On January 1, 2020, Starn Tool & Manufacturing Company purchased a copyright for $31,000 cash. It is estimated that the copyrighted item will have no value by the end of 10 years.
Assume that on January 2, 2022, the copyrighted item was impaired in its ability to continue to produce strong revenues. The other intangible assets were not affected. Starn estimated that the copyright would be able to produce future cash flows of $22,100. The fair value of the copyright was determined to be $21,100. Compute the amount, if any, of the impairment loss to be recorded.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Amortization expenses for 2020 = Annual amortization expense = Copyright cost / Estimated useful life of the copyright = $31,000 / 10 = $3,100
Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 = Copyright cost - Amortization expenses for 2020 = $31,000 - $3,100 = $27,900
Copyright fair value = $21,100
Impairment loss = Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 - Copyright fair value = $27,900 - $21,100 = $6,800
Therefore, the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.

Common stock holders: Group of answer choices have one vote in the election of how the company operates. are last in line to receive income. are guaranteed to get paid when the company fails. receive income before preferred stockholders.
Answer:
are last in line to receive income.
Explanation:
Common stock holders are referred to as the owners of the company. They own shares that gives them the right to vote in a company's general meeting, receive dividends, and they have the right to get newly issued shares in the company before others.
However they are also called unsecured creditors of the company because when the business makes income they are the last in line to receive dividends if any remains.
Also in the case of bankruptcy preference share holders and other creditors are paid first. Common share holders are paid last.
Rolling Coast Inc. issued BBB bonds two years ago. These bonds provided a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.5 percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.7 percent at the time. The current risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the risk-free long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what interest rate should Rolling Coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer: 9.2%
Explanation:
The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:
= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%
Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:
= Previous risk premium / 2
= 2.8% / 2
= 1.4%
Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:
= 7.8% + 1.4%
= 9.2%
The Work in Process Inventory account for DG Manufacturing follows. Compute the cost of jobs completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory.
Work in Process Inventory
Beginning WIP 5,200
Direct materials 47,800
Direct labor 30,300
Applied Overhead 16,500
Total Manufacturing Costs 99,800
To Finished Goods ?
Ending WIP 10,300
The cost of units transferred to finished goods is:_________
Answer:
the cost of units transferred to the finished goods is $89,500
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of units transferred to the finished goods is shown below:
Cost of units transferred to finished goods
= Beginning WIP + Direct materials+ Direct labour + Applied overheads-Ending WIP
= $5,200 + $47,800 + $30,300 + $16,500 - $10,300
= $89,500
Hence, the cost of units transferred to the finished goods is $89,500
1. Given the following demand and supply functions Qd = 500 - 3P Qs = 100 + 5P Calculate; i. The equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity ii. The consumer surplus iii. The producer surplus)R
Given:
The demand and supply functions are:
[tex]Q_d=500-3P[/tex]
[tex]Q_s=100+5P[/tex]
To find:
i. The equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity.
ii. The consumer surplus .
iii. The producer surplus.
Explanation:
(i) At equilibrium, the demand and supply are equal. So, equating both functions, we get
[tex]500-3P=100+5P[/tex]
[tex]500-100=3P+5P[/tex]
[tex]400=8P[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8, we get
[tex]\dfrac{400}{8}=P[/tex]
[tex]50=P[/tex]
Putting [tex]P=50[/tex] in the demand function, we get
[tex]Q_d=500-3(50)[/tex]
[tex]Q_d=500-150[/tex]
[tex]Q_d=350[/tex]
Therefore, the equilibrium price is 50 and the equilibrium quantity is 350.
(ii)
The area under the demand curve and above the equilibrium price is known as consumer surplus. It is represent by the green area in the below figure.
The area of a triangle is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height[/tex]
So, the area of consumer surplus is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 50 \times (500-350)[/tex]
[tex]A=25 \times 150[/tex]
[tex]A=3750[/tex]
Therefore, the consumer surplus is 3750.
(iii)
The area above the supply curve and below the equilibrium price is known as producer surplus. It is represent by the purple area in the below figure.
So, the area of producer surplus is:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 50 \times (350-100)[/tex]
[tex]A=25 \times 250[/tex]
[tex]A=6250[/tex]
Therefore, the producer surplus is 6250.
Problems and Applications Q11 You are the curator of a museum. The museum is running short of funds, so you decide to increase revenue. When should you raise the admission price in order to increase revenue
Answer: Only when demand is inelastic
Explanation:
For a product that has an inelastic demand, the demand of a buyer with regards to a product has minimal changes when when there is a change in price. In such case, an increase in the price will lead to an increase in revenue.
On the other hand, for a product that has an elastic demand, there will be a greater change in the demand of the buyer when when there is a change in price. In such case, an inrease in the price will lead to an reduction in revenue as buyers will go for other products.
Therefore, the admission price should be increased when demand is inelastic in order to increase revenue.
Your sister just deposited $5,500 into an investment account. She believes that she will earn an annual return of 8.8 percent for the next 6 years. You believe that you will only be able to earn an annual return of 8 percent over the same period. How much more must you deposit today in order to have the same amount as your sister in 6 years
Answer:
$5749.02
Explanation:
The first step is to determine the future value of my sister's deposit
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
5500 (1.088)^6 = $9122.97
the second step is to determine the present value of $9122.97 using an interest rate of 8%
$9122.97 / (1.08)^6 = $5749.02

Everything else equal, if the United States runs a large foreign trade deficit, the financing of the deficit will: a. increase government subsidies. b. increase interest rates. c. decrease sales of Treasury securities. d. increase the money supply. e. decrease tax revenue.
Answer: decrease tax revenue
Explanation:
A trade deficit occurs when the import of a country's is more than the export of the country for a given period of time period. The main cause is when there's an imbalance between the savings of a country and the investment rates.
In this case, financing the deficit will lead to the reduction in the tax revenue. When part of the tax revenue gotten from economic agents are used in the finance of the deficit, there'll be a reduction in the tax revenue.

The following statements describe why profits for firms in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run. Select the explanation that most accurately reflects this scenario?
A) Firms try to increase supply to cover their costs if they experience losses, and this leads to zero profits.
B) Firms are unable to generate revenue over time because the demand for products drops.
C) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market prices drop.
D) When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market, prices rise.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: When other perfectly competitive firms see an opportunity to earn profits and enter the market the prices drop.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the microeconomics theory the perfect competitive market is characterized by the fact that there a lot of companies that sell an homogenous product and that are price takers of the market itself. So therefore that the only big difference in the firms are the costs and the prices that they have. Moreover, in the long run the firms are obtaining great profits so that leads to the enter of another more companies to the market and the supply rises the prices will have to go low so that will implicate as well a decrease in the prices of every company that now works in that industry.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of new machines = $234,000
Residual value of equipment = $27,000
Depreciable amount = $207,000
Estimated useful life = 6 years
Straight-line depreciation expense per annum = $34,500 ($207,000/6)
Double-declining-balance rate = 33% (100%/6 * 2)
Year Depreciation Declining Balance
1 $77,220 $156,780
2 $51,737 $105,043
3 $34,664 $70,379
4 $23,225 $47,154
5 $15,561 $31,583
6 $4,593 $27,000
Estimated useful life in hours = 12,000
Depreciation rate per hour = $17.25 ($207,000/12,000)
Actual usage per year:
Year Hours Used Usage Charge
1 2,800 $48,300 (2,800 * $17.25)
2 1,900 $32,775 (1,900 * $17.25)
3 2,000 $34,500 (2,000 * $17.25)
4 2,000 $34,500 (2,000 * $17.25)
5 1,800 $31,050 (1,800 * $17.25)
6 1,500 $25,825 (1,500 * $17.25)
You can borrow and lend at the interest rates of 7.00% in the US and 5.00% in Canada. Based on Interest Rate Parity, the forward premium for CAD should be exactly equal to: Group of answer choices 1.90% - 1.87% 1.02% 98.11%
Answer:
1.90%
Explanation:
Note that that CAD exchange rate would be in terms of how many US dollars can be exchanged for 1 CAD, which means that the formula for forward premium would be stated in terms of US dollars, I mean the US$ as the numerator and CAD's interest rate would be the denominator
the forward premium for CAD=((1+US interest rate)/(1+Canada interest rate))-1
the forward premium for CAD=((1+7%)/(1+5%))-1
the forward premium for CAD=1.90%
