Your textbook discussed a model of a simple economy with four markets: labor, capital, energy, and food. Which of the following statements is inconsistent with a general equilibrium for this simple economy?
A. The household demand for energy equals the industry supply of energy.
B. The household demand for food equals the industry supply of food.
C. The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor.
D. The household supply of capital equals the industry demand for capital.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: The household demand for labor equals the industry supply of labor

Explanation:

To begin with, when it comes to the microeconomics theory the market of labor is considered to be as a factor of production market and from that point of view the labor is demanded by the companies to the households who are the ones who offered the labor due to the fact that the workers are the one who put their force to disposition of the companies. And that is why that it would be inconsistent to say that the household demand for labor will equals the industry supply of labor, because it is all the way around, the household supply of labor will equals the industry demand of it.

a. $900,000.

b. $1,020,000.

c. $1,080,000.

d. $1,200,000.




Answers

Answer:

$1,020,000

Explanation:

Tracy company has 4,000 out of the 10,000 outstanding shares the common stock of Penn corporation

Penn earns $450,000 during 2018

They make a cash dividend payment of $150,000

The beginning balance in the investment is 900,000

Therefore, the balance at December 31, 2018 can be calculated as follows

= $900,000 + ($450,000×0.4)-($150,000×0.4)

= $900,000+$180,000-$60,000

= $1,080,000-$60,000

= $1,020,000

Hence the balance at December 31st, 2018 is $1,020,000

A company has net income of $925,000; its weighted-average common shares outstanding are 185,000. Its dividend per share is $0.70, its market price per share is $93, and its book value per share is $83.50. Its price-earnings ratio equals:

Answers

Answer:

$18.60

Explanation:

Calculation for the price-earnings ratio

Using this formula

Price-Earnings Ratio = Market Price per Share/ Earnings per share

The Earnings per share will be Net Income/(Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding)

Let plug in the formula

Price-Earnings Ratio = $93 / ($925,000 / 185,000)

Price-Earnings Ratio=$93/5

Price-Earnings Ratio=$18.60

Therefore the price-earnings ratio will be $18.60

The carrying value of Blossom’s net identifiable assets, including the goodwill, at year-end is $855,000. Prepare Cullumber’s journal entry, if necessary, to record impairment of goodwill.

Answers

Answer:

Goodwill Impairment (Debit)

           Goodwill (Credit)

Explanation:

In case goodwill is impaired, then the entry to record this impairment will be Goodwill Impairment Debit and Goodwill Credit.

By crediting the Goodwill, the account will be reduced. This shows that the business is currently worth less than is accounted for. The Goodwill account is reduced to identify this difference.

The Impairment loss is an expense and must be reflected in the income statement. Therefore, while we reduce Goodwill amount from balance sheet. We record the expense on the income statement, which would mean that the current year profit amount will be reduced.

Discount factor is 0.985. Stock XYZ is selling for $40 a share. An American option on this stock with a strike price of $38 is trading at $0.25 per share. If it is known that this option is priced above its intrinsic value, what type of option is it?

Answers

Answer:

Put option

Explanation:

We have current price 40dollars - strike price 38dollars = $2. The question says the stock is trading at $0.25 per share. Since 0.25 is higher than 0 it is a put option. And the intrinsic value is $2.

The put option gives one the right to sell a particular number of shares at a price that has been set which is referred to as the strike price before a certain date.

Answers

Answer:

So, the next annual dividend will be $2.394

Explanation:

The constant growth model of DDM is used to calculate the price of a stock today whose dividend growth rate is expected to be constant forever. The price of such a stock is calculated using the formula for price under the constant growth model of DDM,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

P0 is price todayD1 is the next annual dividend that will be paid by the stockr is the required rate of return g is the growth rate in dividends

To calculate the next annual dividend, we will input the available values for P0, r and g in the formula,

33.25 = D1 / (0.117 - 0.045)

33.25 * (0.072) = D1

2.394 = D1

So, the next annual dividend will be $2.394

Answers

Answer:

COGS= $8,370,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary cost= $30

Beginning inventory= 89,000

Sales= 390,000

Ending inventory= 200,000

First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:

Units sold= 89,000 + 390,000 - 200,000

Units sold= 279,000

Now, the cost of goods sold:

COGS= 279,000*30= $8,370,000

Investing $1,500,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 1.7% in this and in all future rounds. (Refer to the TQM Initiative worksheet in the CompXM Decisions menu.) Looking at the Round 0 Inquirer for Andrews, last year's sales were $163,290,917. Assuming similar sales next year, the 1.7% increase in demand will provide $2,775,946 of additional revenue. With the overall contribution margin of 34.1%, after direct costs this revenue will add $946,598 to the bottom line. For simplicity, assume that the demand increase and margins will remain at last year's levels. How long will it take to achieve payback on the initial $1,500,000 TQM investment, rounded to the nearest month

Answers

Answer:

Payback = 19 month

Explanation:

Firm has invested in TQM's Channel Support systems of $1,500,000, It will increase demand of product by 1.7%.

Last years sales revenue was $163,290,917, a 1.7% increase will mean the sales will be:

= $163,290,917 * (1+0.017)

= $163,290,917 * (1.017)

= $166,066,862.59

Thus increase in sales revenue is:

= $166,066,862.589 - $163,290,917

= $2,775,945.589

Now consider contribution margin. From Total Sales, direct variable costs are deducted to get total contribution. The Overall contribution margin is It is 34.1%.

So extra contribution due to 1.7% increase in sales is = $2,775,945.589 * 34.1%

= $946,597.45

Thus increase in contribution margin will also increase profit to the same extent as there is no addition in fixed cost due to this project. So firm will be able to recover $946,597.45 of initial investment of $1,500,000 in one year.

Pay back is the time required to recover this full initial investment. It ascertained by dividing $1,500,000 amount by the net addition in profit per year.

Payback = $1,500,000 / $946,597.45

Payback = 1.585 per year * 12 month

Payback = 19.02 month

Payback = 19 month approximately

A share of stock is now selling for $110. It will pay a dividend of $8 per share at the end of the year. Its beta is 1. What do investors expect the stock to sell for at the end of the year? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 15%. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Expected selling price $

Answers

Answer:

P1 = 118.5474 rounded off to $118.55

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the stock at the end of the year or P1, we first need to determine the required rate of return on the stock and the growth rate in dividends.

The required rate of return can be found using the CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

r = 0.04 + 1 * (0.15 - 0.04)

r = 0.15 or 15%

Now we assume that the stock is a constant growth stock which means that the growth in dividends is expected to be constant throughout. The price of such a stock is found using the constant growth model of DDM. The formula for price today under the constant growth model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

P0 is price todayD1 is expected dividend for the next periodg is the growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available variables, g is,

110 = 8 / (0.15 - g)

110* (0.15 - g) = 8

16.5 - 110g = 8

g = (8 - 16.5) / -110

g = 0.077272 or 7.7272% rounded off to 7.73%

So to calculate the price at the end of the year or P1, we will use D2.

P1 = 8 * (1+0.0773) / (0.15 - 0.0773)

P1 = 118.5474 rounded off to $118.55

You own 150 shares of Western Feed Mills stock valued at $41.20 per share. What is the dividend yield if your annual dividend income is $372

Answers

Answer:

6.01%

Explanation:

Calculation for the dividend yield

Using this formula

Dividend yield=(Annual dividend income/Numbers of shares)/Amount per shares

Let plug in the formula

Dividend yield =($372/150 shares)/$41.20 per share

Dividend yield =$2.48/$41.20

Dividend yield =0.0601*100

Dividend yield =6.01%

Therefore Dividend yield will be 6.01%

Portage Bay Enterprises has $1 million in excess​ cash, no​ debt, and is expected to have free cash flow of $11 million next year. Its FCF is then expected to grow at a rate of 5% per year forever. If Portage​ Bay's equity cost of capital is 10% and it has 4 million shares​ outstanding, what should be the price of Portage Bay​ stock?

Answers

Answer:

=$55.25

Explanation:

Value of Equity= FCF / (k - g)

value of equity=$11/(10%-5%)=$220  million

total value of the firm(all equity)=value of equity+cash

value of equity=$220 million+$1 million

share price value=value of total equity/shares outstanding

share price value=$221 million/4 million=$55.25

Alternatively:

Value of equity=$11/(1+10%)^1+$11*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)/(1+10%)^1=$220 million

Consider a project with a first cost (investment) of $250,000, an annual O&M cost of $50,000, annual revenue of $160,000, and a salvage value of $40,000 after a 10-year life. Find the annual worth of the project assuming an interest of 12% per year.

Answers

Answer:

$68,030

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of annual worth is shown below:-

Annual worth = -250,000 (A/P, 12%, 10) - $50,000 + $160,000 + $40,000 (A/F, 12%, 10)

= -$250,000 × 0.1770 - $50,000 + $160,000 + $40,000 × 0.0570

= -$44,250 - $50,000 + $160,000 + $2,280

= $68,030

So, the right answer is $68,030

Murray Company reports net income of $770,000 for the year. It has no preferred stock, and its weighted-average common shares outstanding is 350,000 shares. Compute its basic earnings per share.

One year ago, you purchased a stock at a price of $55.20 per share. Today, you sold your stock at a loss of 18.63 percent. Your capital loss was $12.62 per share. What was the total dividends per share paid on this stock over the year

Answers

Answer:

Dividend = $2.34

Explanation:

Purchase Price = $55.20

Loss on stock = 18.63% of $55.20 = $10.28

Capital Loss = $12.62

Dividend = Capital Loss - Total Loss

Dividend = $12.62 - $10.28

Dividend = $2.34

Liability for contracts formed by an agent depends on how the principal is classified and on whether the actions of the agent were authorized or unauthorized.a. Trueb. False

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

An agency can be defined as a mutual relationship existing between two parties, wherein a principal authorizes the agent to act as the principal's representative or on his behalf (fiduciary role) in dealing with third parties.

Liability for contracts formed by an agent depends on how the principal is classified and on whether the actions of the agent were authorized or unauthorized. This simply means that, the principal would be held responsible for the losses, legal claims and damages incurred by the agent, whether or not the agent's actions were authorized or unauthorized by the principal.

Hence, a principal is liable for acts or contracts entered into by an agent when he or she gives an agent either actual authority (power of attorney) or apparent authority.

Eakins Inc.'s common stock currently sells for $15.00 per share, the company expects to earn $2.75 per share during the current year, its expected payout ratio is 70%, and its expected constant growth rate is 6.00%. New stock can be sold to the public at the current price, but a flotation cost of 8% would be incurred. By how much would the cost of new stock exceed the cost of retained earnings

Answers

Answer:

1.12%

Explanation:

By how much would the cost of new stock exceed the cost of retained earnings = Cost of new equity - Cost of retained earnings

Cost of retained earnings = ((2.75 * 70%) / 15) + 6.00%  

Cost of retained earnings = ((2.75 * 0.7) / 15) + 0.06

Cost of retained earnings = 0.1283 + 0.06

Cost of retained earnings =0.1883

Cost of retained earnings = 18.83%

Cost of new equity= ((2.75 * 70%) / (15 * (1 - 8%) ) + 6.00%

Cost of new equity= 19.95%

Hence, Cost of new equity - Cost of retained earnings

= 19.95% - 18.83%

= 1.12%

The Absolute Zero Co. just issued a dividend of $2.70 per share on its common stock. The company is expected to maintain a constant 5.6 percent growth rate in its dividends indefinitely. If the stock sells for $54 a share, what is the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

10.88%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of the company's cost of equity is shown below:-

Stock price = (Current dividend × (1 + Growth rate)) ÷ (Cost of equity - Growth rate)

$54 = ($2.70 × (1 + 0.056)) ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.056)

Cost of equity = $2.8512 ÷ $54 + 0.056

= 10.88%

Therefore for computing the cost of equity we simply applied the above formula.
