Answer: call; $180,000
Explanation:
Delta Importers has a pure discount loan with a face value of $180,000 due in one year. The assets of the firm are currently worth $215,000. The shareholders in this firm basically own a call option on the assets of the firm with a strike price of $180,000.
The equity of the firm is owned by the shareholders and it is identical to when a call option is being held and the strike price will be equal to the face value of $180,000.
A registered representative receives an order from a corporate issuer to buy 500,000 shares of that issuer's stock in the market, 5 minutes prior to market close. The registered representative should:
Answer: C. inform the company that this is a possible market manipulation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Explanation:
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is meant to govern the actions of issuers and their affiliates engaging in trade in the open market. One reason for this is to prevent stock price manipulation.
SEC Act Rule 10b-18 might rule this transaction as a manipulative activity because it goes against the section of it that states that securities cannot be traded within 10 minutes of the stock market closing if that stock is an actively traded one. If it is not then the trade should not be executed within 30 minutes of market close.
The client should therefore be informed that by placing an order 5 minutes before close they could run afoul of this Act because buying such huge amounts at such a time could influence the price upwards for when the market reopens.
A local restaurant increases the prices on its burgers as soon as it begins a promotional campaign. Which of the following is most likely to be true?
a) The promotional campaign featured how much better their burgers are.
b) The promotional campaign focused on the value per dollar.
c) The promotional campaign made demand more elastic.
d) All of the above.
Answer: The promotional campaign featured how much better their burgers are
Explanation:
The most likely reason why a local restaurant will increase the prices on its burgers as soon as it begins a promotional campaign is that the promotional campaign featured how much better their burgers are.
Through the promotional campaign, the message has been passed to the customers and anyone interested that the burgers are better and customers will enjoy value for their money.
The Raven Co. has just gone public. Under a firm commitment agreement, Raven received $15.90 for each of the 25 million shares sold. The initial offering price was $17.50 per share, and the stock rose to $19.40 per share in the first few minutes of trading. Raven paid $860,000 in direct legal and other costs and $330,000 in indirect costs.What was the flotation cost as a percentage of funds raised?
Answer:
22.38%
Explanation:
Raven corporation has just gone public
They received $15.90 for each 25 million shares that was sold
The first step is to calculate the net amount raised
Net amount that was raised= 15.90×25,000,000 = 397,500,000
397,500,000-860,000-330,000
= 396,310,000
Underwriter spread= 17.50-15.90
= 1.6 per shares
Total underwriter spread= per share spread× number of shares that were offered
= 1.6×25,000,000
= 40,000,000
Total direct costs= 40,000,000+860,000
=40,860,000
Indirect flotation cost= indirect cost+price appreciation
= 330,000+(19.40-17.50)×25,000,000
= 330,000+1.9×25,000,000
=330,000+47,500,000
= 47,830,000
Total flotation cost= 47,830,000+40,860,000
= 88,690,000
Therefore, the flotation cost as a percentage of funds raised can be calculated as follows
= 88,690,000/396,310,000 × 100
= 0.2238×100
= 22.38%
Hence the flotation costs as a percentage of funds raised is 22.38%
A small manufacturer that makes clothespins and other household products buys new injection molding equipment for a cost of $500,000. This will allow the manufacturer to make more clothespins in the same amount of time with an estimated increase in sales of %. If the manufacturer currently makes tons of clothespins per year, which sell at per ton, what will be the increase in revenue next year from the new equipment?
Answer:
$337,500
Explanation:
the questions was missing some numbers. I looked for similar questions and found:
increase in sales = 25%current annual production in tons = 75sales price per ton = $18,000increase in total sales = 75 tons x 25% = 18.75 tons
increase in revenue = 18.75 tons x $18,000 = $337,500
Since the question only asks for the increase in revenue, we do not have to calculate anything else.

Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he will need over the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value. What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the of inflation.
Answer:
shoe-leather costs
Explanation:
Inflation is a persistent rise in general price levels.
shoe-leather costs of inflation is the cost in terms of time and effort spent by individuals in reducing their cash holdings in order to avoid paying inflation tax.
Bob's shoe cost of inflation includes :
1. the time and effort expended in going to purchase items immediately he is paid
2. the time and effort expended in converting the money he didn't spend to a more stable foreign currency.
Terry Dactel is considering the purchase of an asset having the following cash flows (in 000's):CF Prob.5 20%12 30%18 30%20 20%What is the asset’s standard deviation (in 000's)?
Answer: b. $5.4
Explanation:
First calculate the Expected return;
Expected cashflow = ∑ (Probability of cashflow * cashflow)
Expected cashflow = (5 * 0.2) + (12*0.3) + (18*0.3) +(20*0.2)
=$14
Standard deviation = √∑ [Probability * (CF - Expected CF)^2]
Standard deviation= √[(0.2*(5 - 14)^2) + (0.3*(12-14)^2) + (0.3*(18-14)^2) + (0.2*(20-14)^2)
Standard deviation = $5.4
York's outstanding stock consists of 80,000 shares of noncumulative 7.5% preferred stock with a $5 par value and also 200,000 shares of common stock with a $1 par value. During its first four years of operation, the corporation declared and paid the following total cash dividends: 2015 total cash dividends $20,000 ; 2016 total cash dividends 28,000 ; 2017 total cash dividends 200,000 ; 2018 total cash dividends 350,000. Please explain how to journal this.
Answer:
dividends paid during 2015:
preferred stock dividends = $20,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.25
common stock dividends = $0, dividend per common stock = $0
dividends paid during 2016:
preferred stock dividends = $28,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.35
common stock dividends = $0, dividend per common stock = $0
dividends paid during 2017:
preferred stock dividends = $30,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.375
common stock dividends = $170,000, dividend per common stock = $0.85
dividends paid during 2018:
preferred stock dividends = $30,000, dividend per preferred stock = $0.375
common stock dividends = $320,000, dividend per common stock = $1.60
Since the preferred stocks are not cumulative, any preferred dividends that are not paid during a year will not be paid in future years.

The wage rate for all units of labor is $10/hr. You have spent $160,000 on developing a production process (Process X) that will allow you to produce 8 units for every unit of labor. If you use this production process, the accounting profits will cover the initial investment within 6 months. If you use your normal production process (not Process X), you can produce 10 units for every unit of labor. Both processes are fully scalable, so the marginal product of labor is fixed for any reasonable amount of labor you could hire. Based on this information, what should you do?
Answer:
The normal production process should be followed.
Explanation:
The normal process should be used because when it uses the process “X” then the marginal productivity of labor (MPL) is 8 units and the wage of labor is $10 per hour. Secondly, when it uses a normal production process then the marginal productivity of labor is 10 units and the wage rate is the same that is $10 per hour. Therefore, the normal production process is giving the greater marginal productivity of labor, accordingly this process should be followed.
Double West Suppliers (DWS) reported sales for the year of $400,000, all on credit. The average gross profit percentage was 35 percent on sales. Account balances follow:
Beginning Ending
Accounts receivable (net) $ 51,000 $ 61,000
Inventory 67,000 46,000
Required:
1. Compute the following turnover ratios. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
2. By dividing 365 by your ratios from requirement 1, calculate the average days to collect receivables and the average days to sell inventory. (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round turnover ratio calculation and final answers to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
1. Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivables = 400,000 / (51000 + 61000)/2
= 400,000/56,000
= 7.1 times
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory = (Sales-Gross Profit)/Average Inventory = (400,000 - 35% * 400,000) / (67000 + 46000)/2
=400,000 - 140,000 / 56,500
= 260,000 / 56,500
= 4.6 times
2. Average Days to Collect Receivables = 365/7.1 = 51.40 or 52 days
Average Days to Collect Inventory = 365/4.6 = 79.34 days

The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: (Do not round Cost per equivalent unit.)
a) $67,845
b) $38,507
c) $17,478
d) $21,797
Answer:
The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797
Explanation:
Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production
Materials
Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%) = 5,800
Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 50%) = 925
Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials = 6,725
Conversion
Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%) = 5,800
Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 20%) = 370
Total Equivalent Units of Production for Conversion Costs = 6,170
Calculation of Cost per Equivalent units of Production
Materials
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials
= ($ 8,700 + $ 91,000) ÷ 6,725
= $14.825
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials
= ($ 8,500 + $ 126,300) ÷ 6,170
= $21.848
Calculation of cost of ending work in process inventory
Materials ( 925 × $14.825) = $13,713.12
Conversion Cost ( 370 × $21.848) = $8,083.76
Total = $21,796.88
Thus,
The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797.

Explanation:
Backus Inc. makes and sells many consumer products. The firm’s average contribution margin ratio is 35%. Management is considering adding a new product that will require an additional $15,000 per month of fixed expenses and will have variable expenses of $7.80 per unit.
Required:
A. Calculate the selling price that will be required for the new product if it is to have a contribution margin ratio equal to 35%.
B. Calculate the number of units of the new product that would have to be sold if the new product is to increase the firm's monthly operating income by $6,000.
Answer:
a) $12 per unit
b) $2,693 units
Explanation:
contribution margin ratio formula = contribution margin / total revenue
contribution margin = total revenue - variable costs
0.35 = (revenue - 7.80) / revenue
0.35revenue = revenue - 7.80
7.80 = 0.65revenue
revenue = 7.80/.65
revenue = 12
number of units required to increase revenue by $6,000:
= (fixed costs + desired profits) / contribution margin
= ($15,000 + $6,000) / $7.80 = $21,000 / $7.80 = 2,692.31 ≈ we must round up to $2,693 units
Sam has contracted with Dave to purchase Dave's racing bike, with payment and delivery of the bicycle to be made 10 days after the contract was made. Three days later Sam hears that Dave is going to sell the bike to Gene in three days at a higher price. If Sam really wants the bike, what should he do? Multiple Choice Immediately seek injunctive relief. Immediately sue for specific performance. Immediately sue for compensatory damages. Immediately sue for consequential damages.
Answer: Immediately seek injunctive relief.
Explanation:
An injunctive relief is an order by the court stopping an action from taking place. From the question, we are told that Sam has contracted with Dave to buy Dave's racing bike, with payment and delivery of the bicycle to be made 10 days after the contract was made.
We are further told that three days later Sam hears that Dave is going to sell the bike to Gene in three days at a higher price. If Sam really wants the bike, he should seek injunctive relief. By doing so, the court will stop Dave from selling the bike to Gene.
Charlie is a strategist who wants to decide on the appropriate strategy to help his firm "go global." Which of the following should Charlie consider while choosing his strategy?A) He must be aware of the fact that despite globalization and the emergence of the Internet, firm geographic location has actually maintained its importance.B) He should rely on his firm's business-level strategy as a clue to possible strategies pursued globally.C) He should remember that he has only one framework at his disposal to make global strategy decisions.D) He must remember that higher levels of control and a lower likelihood of any loss in reputation go along with less investment-intensive foreign entry modes.
Answer: A) He must be aware of the fact that despite globalization and the emergence of the Internet, firm geographic location has actually maintained its importance.
Explanation:
Charlie must consider that despite the fact that the internet and technology have made globalization more accessible, the location of a business remains very important hence the old saying "its all about location location location".
The firm's geographical location has an effect on stakeholders in the company such as customers, employees and suppliers. For the customers, even if the business was to rely on the internet and delivering goods, the location needs to be convenient enough to ship goods from.
The Suppliers as well need to be able to send the goods ordered for in a timely fashion and an improper location can hamper that. Even employees need a place to work in that is conducive for them in terms of logistics and a safe working environment. Charlie should definitely not forget about the importance of location.
A company incurs $4,050,000 of overhead each year in three departments: Ordering and Receiving, Mixing, and Testing. The company prepares 2,000 purchase orders, works 50,000 mixing hours, and performs 1,500 tests per year in producing 200,000 drums of Goo and 600,000 drums of Slime. The following data are available: Department Expected use of Driver Cost Ordering and Receiving 2,000 $1,200,000 Mixing 50,000 1,500,000 Testing 1,500 1,350,000 Production information for Goo is as follows: Department Expected use of Driver Ordering and Receiving 400 Mixing 20,000 Testing 500 Compute the amount of overhead assigned to Goo. $2,760,000.
Answer:
$1,290,000
Explanation:
Goo:
Ordering and Receiving = 400 / 2,000 = 20%
Mixing = 20,000 / 50,000 = 40%
Testing = 500 / 1,500 = 33.33%
allocated overhead costs:
Ordering and Receiving = 20% x $1,200,000 = $240,000
Mixing = 40% x $1,500,000 = $600,000
Testing = 33.33% x $1,350,000 = $450,000
total allocated overhead costs = $1,290,000

(Round interim calculations to the nearest cent.) The direct labor rate variance is a.$21,730.60 favorable b.$6,199.13 unfavorable c.$21,730.60 unfavorable d.$6,199.13 favorable
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Labor:
Standard hourly labor rate $14.92 per hour
Actual labor hours worked 4,661
Actual total labor costs $75,741
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Actual rate= 75,741/4,661= $16.25
Direct labor rate variance= (14.92 - 16.25)*4,661
Direct labor rate variance= $6,199.13 unfavorable

Sometimes airlines raise ticket prices as the flight departure date approaches in the hope of increasing revenue. The airlines raise their prices on the assumption that:
Answer:
B) less price-elastic as departure time approaches.
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A) steady in its price elasticity as departure time approaches.
B) less price-elastic as departure time approaches.
C) always unit elastic.
D) very sensitive to price changes as the time of departure approaches.
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
As the departure date arrives, there would be less available flights and less time for travellers to make alternative travelling arrangements. As a result, they would be willing to pay any price. At this point, travellers would have a less elastic demand. that is they are less sensitive to price.
The break-even point is a.the maximum possible operating loss. b.where the total sales line intersects the total costs line on a cost-volume-profit chart. c.the total fixed costs. d.the maximum possible operating income.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
To a layman, break-even point is the point where an entity neither make profit nor loss. It is the point where total revenue equals total cost(where the total sales line intersects the total costs line on a cost-volume-profit chart).
Points greater or above this intersection or point mean the firm is making profit and points lesser or below this intersection or point mean the firm is making loss.

The company is now in the process of preparing a production budget for the second quarter. Past experience has shown that end-of-month inventory levels must equal 15% of the following month’s sales. The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
Required:
Prepare a production budget for the second quarter; in your budget, show the number of units to be produced each month and for the quarter in total.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in Units
April 70,000
May 85,000
June 110,000
July 90,000
Desired ending inventory= 15% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,500 units.
To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 70,000
Desired ending inventory= 85,000*0.15= 12,750
Beginning inventory= (10,500)
Total production= 72,250
May:
Sales= 85,000
Desired ending inventory= 110,000*0.15= 16,500
Beginning inventory= (12,750)
Total production= 88,750
June:
Sales= 110,000
Desired ending inventory= 90,000*0.15= 13,500
Beginning inventory= (16,500)
Total production= 107,000
Total quarter= 268,000

A.Calculation for the Marginal Revenue (MR) that the firm earn from sale of the output produced by the last worker employed
Based on the information given we were told that the Marginal Physical product of the last unit of labor was 5 units per hour in which the firm pays each worker an hourly wage of $15. Now let calculate the Marginal Revenue using this formula
Marginal Revenue = Employees hourly wages/Marginal Physical product unit of labor
Where,
Employees hourly wages=$15
Marginal Physical product unit of labor =5 units per hour
Let plug in the formula
Marginal Revenue =$15/5
Marginal Revenue =$3
B. No reason been that the current profit-maximizing hourly output was 100 units in which we were told that the firm sells at a price of $5 per unit. While the Marginal Revenue gotten in (A) above was $3 which is lesser or lower than $5 per unit which simply means that the firm does NOT sell its output in a well perfectly competitive market .
Question 2 options: Assume that in short-run equilibrium, a particular monopolistically competitive restaurant (Applebee's) charges $12 for each order of Chicken Parmesan and sells 52 orders per day. The average total cost (ATC) for those 52 orders is $10. Enter your answers below to the nearest whole number. How much revenue will the firm take in each day
Answer:
104
Explanation:
In monopolistic competition, short-run positive economic profits of firms in the market will cause the market demand to expand.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
There are low barriers to entry r exit of firms. So, if a firm is earning economic profit in the short run, in the long run, more firms would enter into the industry.
examples of monopolistic competition are restaurants
Stephenson Co.'s 15-year bond with a face value of $1,000 currently sells for $850. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. The bond's coupon rate exceeds its current yield.
B. The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
C. If the yield to maturity stays constant until the bond matures, the bond's price will remain at $850.
D. The bonds current yield exceeds its yield to maturity.
Answer:
The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
Explanation:
At a discount, the price of the bond is less than its face value, from bond theory principles, this is likely to happen when YTM is more than the coupon rate of the bond. Due to this the present value of the coupons and their face value are going to be lower than 1000 since YTM is greater.
The coupon rate is given as annual interest divided by face value
While
The yield is interest/ current price.
The answer to the question is therefore
The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
