Consider a market characterized by a Herfindahl-Hirschman index of 5,000. One of the firms in this market has a Lerner index of 0.89 and is considering a horizontal merger with a competing firm. Based on this information, it is likely that the U.S. Department of Justice will:
Answer:
reject the merger
Explanation:
Seeing since the market is highly concentrated and the firm's lerner index is also very high, meaning they have a large measure of market power in that industry then it is safe to assume that the U.S. Department of Justice will most likely reject the merger due to this high concentration and the significant power that the proposing firm already has in the market.

Share Premium ; Preference Stock (credit) $27,500
Preference Stock (credit) $250,000
Explanation:
The Common Stocks are classified as no-par common stock. This means there is no premium account recognized for this classification of stock. The stocks will be presented at their respective value at date of issuance.
With the Preference Stock, this is different. A par value of $100 has been established. Any payment made in excess of the par value will end up in Share Premium Account.
Distribution Corporation collects 40% of a month's sales in the month of sale, 55% in the month following sale, and 5% in the second month following sale. Budgeted sales for the upcoming four months are:April budgeted sales $100,000May budgeted sales $150,000June budgeted sales $230,000July budgeted sales $180,000The amount of cash that will be collected in July is budgeted to beA) $72,000.B) $179, 500.C) $206,000.D) $195, 500.
Answer:
C) $206,000.
Explanation:
The budgeted amount of cash that will be collected in July can be obtained adding the amount due to be collected in July. This can be estimated as follows:
Budgeted cash from May budgeted sales = $150,000 * 5% = $7,500
Budgeted cash from June budgeted sales = $230,000 * 55% = $126,500
Budgeted cash from July budgeted sales = $180,000 * 40% = $72,000
By adding all the above together, we have:
July budgeted cash collection = $7,500 + $126,500 + $72,000 = $206,000
Therefore, the amount of cash that will be collected in July is budgeted to be $206,000.
As a student in the Principles of Management class of Ama Ghana University, you are expected to have experiential knowledge so that you can be able to solve real life business problems after graduation. To achieve this objective, the 2020 class has been divided into ten groups; and each team works in a management capacity with ten management consulting companies in the Greater Accra Region. San Consulting - the firm that your group works with is a project management company that is into Real Estate construction and management consulting. This firm which has twenty years’ experience in this business is the first choice for all individuals and companies that want quality service. You have on the contrary, observed that many of the management practices have not developed precipitously as situations in the business environment warrant. The accountant confirmed this by saying in the last general meeting that a certain percentage of San’s profit margin is being lost because of this situation. She gave the example that the surveying department spent eight labor hours generating data that had been generated two weeks ago by another unit. Due to the fact that the surveying department did not know that the data had already been created, a substantial effort was wasted and this has been a recurrent problem. In addition, the increase in demand of the services of San’s Consulting has placed significant pressures on the five managers whose duties are not clearly defined. For instance, you have observed that any of these managers perform duties in the operations department as well as any other unit within the firm. They are not able to perform all the functions required of them due to the ineffectiveness of the organizational structure. You and the members of your group are expected to write a report to the top-level management team regarding your analysis of the situation in the firm.
Answer:
Top level management is the most senior executives of the company. To write a report to them about the organizational structure, we mention the summary of the situation and then ask them for their measures.
Explanation:
Ineffectiveness of Organizational Structure
Summary:
The organization structure is not clearly defined, Managers are performing duties in various departments at a time.
Details:
San Consulting is one of the finest consulting firm in the Greater Accra Region. The firm is always a first choice for individuals who want to pursue their career in business. The Organizational structure of San Consulting is not clearly defined. San's profits are falling because management practices are not according to the other competitive organizations. The managers working at San are facing excess workload and pressure for their work. Their job description is not clearly defined and they are forced to work in multiple departments at the same time due to which they are losing focus on their own work.
Conclusion:
The organizational structure needs to be set and every employee should have their defined job role so they are able to complete work with efficiency.

How much must be invested now at 9% interest to accumulate to $24,000 in four years?
a) $1,753.b) $1,965.c) $2,652.d) $2,317.
Answer:
$ 17,002.21 (none of the options is correct)
Explanation:
The formula for determining the present value ,which is the actual amount invested to give a future value is given below:
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
The PV is the present value which is unknown
FV is the future worth of the investment which is $24,000
r is the rate of return which is 9% per year
n is the duration of investment which is 4 years
PV=$24,000*(1+9%)^-4
PV=$24,000*(1.09)^-4
PV=$24,000*0.708425211 =$ 17,002.21
Suppose the market for pizzas is unregulated. That is, pizza prices are free to adjust based on the forces of supply and demand.

A new American graduate is contemplating buying a
Japanese, German, or an American car. No matter the type of car, he
plans to buy a new one at the end of 8 years.
The Japanese cars will cost $30,000 and have a fuel
usage of 23 Miles Per gallon (mpg) for the first 2 years and will
decrease by 3% per year thereafter. The repair cost will start at $700
per year, and increase by 3% per year. At the end of year 8, the
car can be sold for $5000. Insurance cost will be $700 for the
first year, increasing by 2% per year thereafter.
A German car will cost $45,000 and have fuel usage
of 21mpg for the first 5 years, and decrease by 1% thereafter to
year 8. The repair cost will start at $1000 in year 1 and increase by
4% per year. It will have a salvage value of $7000 at the end of
year 8. Insurance cost will be $850 the first year, increasing by
2% per year thereafter.
The American car will cost $35,000 and have fuel
usage of 20mpg for the first 3 years and will decrease by 3% per
year thereafter. The repair cost will be $800 in year 1, increasing by
4% per year thereafter. Being an American, the graduate will price
the pride of owning an American car at $0.4 for every 20 miles
driven, increasing by 2% per year. Insurance costs will be $800 per
year increasing by 2.2% per year. The car can be sold for $5500 at
the end of year 8.
If the graduate anticipates driving 150000 miles by
the end of year 8 and the average interest rate is expected to
remain at 5% per year, which car is economically affordable based
on present worth analysis? Assume fuel cost will be $3 per gallon
in year 1 and increase by an average of 2% per year. Show all your
workings.
Answer:
The best option is to buy Japanese Car.
Explanation:
Fuel usage per year is 150000/ 8 = 18750 miles per year
Fuel cost (year 1 -8) = $3.0, $3.06, $3.12, $3.18, $3.25, $3.312, $3.38, $3.5
Japanese Car:
Fuel usage 18750 / 23 = 815 * $3 = $2446
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2445, $2494, $2623, $2758. $2900, $3050, $3207, $3372
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $700, $721, $742, $764, $787, $811, $835, $860
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $700, $714, $728, $742, $757, $772, $788, $804
Present value of cost at 5% = 24674.07
Cost of car is $30,000
Total cost = $54674.07
American Car:
Cost $35,000
Fuel usage 18750/20 = 937.5 * $3 per gallon = $2812.5.
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2812, $2913, $2986, $3011. $3098, $3124, $3176, $3208
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $800, $894, $921, $978, $1109, $1176, $1207, $1301
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $800, $827, $876, $898, $908, $932, $954, $934
Present value of cost at 5% = 25302.18
Cost of car is $35,000
Total cost = $60302.
German Car:
Cost = $45,000
Fuel usage 18750 / 21 = 892 * $3 = $2678
Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2679, $2732, $2786, $2842. $2899, $2987, $3077, $3171
Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $1000, $1040, $1081, $1124, $1169, $1216, $1265, $1316
Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $850, $867, $884, $902, $920, $938, $957, $976
Present value of cost at 5% = 27105.73
Cost of car is $45,000
Total cost = $72105.
Consider the market for meekers in the imaginary economy of Meekertown. In the absence of international trade, the domestic price of a meeker is $30. Suppose that the world price for a meeker is $40. Assume that Meekertown is too small to influence the world price for meekers once they enter the international market.
If Meekertown allows free trade, then it will (import/export?) meekers.
Given current economic conditions in Meekertown, complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is true or false.
Statement True False
Meekertownian consumers are worse off under free trade than they were before.
Meekertownian producers were better off without free trade than they are with it.
True or False: When a country is too small to affect the world price, allowing for free trade will always increase total surplus in that country, regardless of whether it imports or exports as a result of international trade.
Answer:
Export
True
False
True
Explanation:
Free trade is a form of trade policy where there are no restrictions to imports or exports of goods and services.
The price of meekers is $30 in Meekertown and $40 In the world. Because meeker's are cheaper in Meekertown, it means that Meekertown is efficient in the production of meekers. As a result, they would export meekers to the rest of the world. It would be cost efficient for the rest of the world to import from Meekertown.
Consumers in Meekertown are worse of because of the trade because the price of Meekers would rise.
Producers are better off because they would earn more profits from the sale of Meekers at the world price.
Free trade increases total surplus because of efficient production. If a country is inefficient in production, it would import . This would increase consumer surplus and if it is efficient in production, it would export increasing producer surplus.

Magnolia, Inc. has budgeted sales for the first quarter of the next year to be 45,000 units. The inventory on hand at the beginning of quarter is 5,000 units. The desired ending inventory is 3,000 units. Calculate the budgeted production for the first quarter.
Answer:
Production= 43,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 45,000 units
Beginning inventory= 5,000 units
The desired ending inventory is 3,000 units.
To calculate the budgeted production, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 45,000 + 3,000 - 5,000
Production= 43,000 units
Using the following end-of-year information, calculate the number of days' sales in receivables for Year 2.
Year 2: Sales are $82,500; average accounts receivable is $11,000.
Year 1: Sales are $78,000; average accounts receivable is $10,000.
a. 7.8
b. 7.5
c. 46.8
d. 48.7
Answer:
The number of days' sales in receivables for Year 2 is 48.7
Explanation:
The formula that is applicable to this scenario is the accounts receivable divided by sales multiplied by 365 days
The number of days' sales in receivables=$11,000/$82,500*365=48.67
The correct option is D, since the 48.67 was simply rounded down to one decimal place.
Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta for the first adviser was 1.5, while that of the second was 1.
Required:
a. If the T-bill rate was 6% and the market return during the period was 14%, which adviser would be the superior stock selector.
b. Can you tell which adviser was a better selector of individual stocks (aside from the issue of general movements in the market)?
c. What if the T-bill rate were 3% and the market return 15%?
Answer: Adviser B is the superior stock selector.
Explanation:
For the comparision between the two investment advisers, the Jenson's Alpha will be utilized.
Jenson's Alpha:
= Portfolio Actual Return - CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio Return)
T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 6%
Market return(E(Em) = 14%
Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5
Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1
For Adviser A:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1.5 (14-6)
= 6 + 12
= 18%
Actual Return = 19%
Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 18% = 1%
For Adviser B:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 6 + 1(14-6) = 6 + 1(8) = 14%
Actual Return = 16%
Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 14% = 2%
Adviser B is a better selector because he has a larger alpha of 2% compared to Adviser A who has 1%.
T Bill Rate(Risk free rate) = 3%
Market return(E(Rm) = 15%
Beta of Investment Adviser A = 1.5
Beta of Investment Adviser B = 1
For Adviser A:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1.5 (15-3)
= 3 + 18
= 21%
Actual Return = 19%
Jenson's Alpha = 19% - 21% = -2%
For Adviser B:
CAPM = Risk free return + Beta ( E(Rm) - Risk free return)
CAPM(Benchmark Portfolio) = 3 + 1(15-3) = 3 + 1(12) = 15%
Actual Return = 16%
Jenson's Alpha = 16% - 15% = 1%
Given the changes, Adviser B is still the better selector because he has a larger alpha of 1% compared to Adviser A who has -2%.

2. Paid $12,100 in cash for the purchase of kayak and canoe equipment
3. Paid $1,850 in cash for rent expense
4. Purchased additional kayak and canoe equipment for $4,600 on credit
5. Received $4,700 in cash for kayak rentals
6. Rented canoes and kayaks for $2,000 on account
7. Purchased office equipment for $205 in cash
8. Received $1,200 in cash from credit clients
9. Shawn Dahl withdrew $2,300 in cash for personal expenses
Based on the information shown above, what is the balance of Accounts Receivable for Whitewater Rentals at the end of September?
Answer:
what is the balance of Accounts Receivable for Whitewater Rentals at the end of September?
$800
Explanation:
We can seen in the transactions in the question that Whitewater Rentals first obtained $2,000 from rented canoes on account. These $2,000 represent the initial balance of accounts receivable.
Later, credit clients paid $1,200 cash. This reduced accounts receivable by the same amount.
Therefore, the balance of Accounts Receivable for Whitewater Rentals at the end of September is = $2,000 - $1,200 = 800
For a recent year, McDonald's Company-owned restaurants had the following sales and expenses (in millions): Sales $25,700 Food and packaging $8,982 Payroll 6,500 Occupancy (rent, depreciation, etc.) 5,748 General, selling, and administrative expenses 3,700 $24,930 Income from operations $770 Assume that the variable costs consist of food and packaging, payroll, and 40% of the general, selling, and administrative expenses. a. What is McDonald's contribution margin
Answer:
a. $9,338
b. 0.363
Explanation:
a. Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable Cost
Where Sales = $25,700
Variable Cost = Food & Packaging + Payroll + 40% x General, Selling and Administrative expenses
V.C. = 8,982 + 6,500 + 40% * 3,700
V.C = 8,982 + 6,500 + 1,480
= $16,362
Therefore, Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable Cost
= $25,700 - $16,362
=$9,338
b. McDonald's contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin / Sales
= $9,338 / $25,700
= 0.363
A C corporation earns $ 9.20 per share before taxes and the company pays a dividend of $ 4.00 per share. The corporate tax rate is 39%, the personal tax rate on dividends is 15%, and the personal tax rate on non-dividend income is 36%. What is the after-tax amount an individual would receive from the dividend?
Answer:
The answer is $4.27

The tax rate (Corporate ) is =39%
The tax rate on personal dividends is= 15%
The tax rate for non-dividend personal income is = 36%
Now,
We must find the after tax rate amount of after tax rate an individual or a person would earn from the dividend
Thus,
The corporate tax =$9.40 * 39% = 3.67
Personal tax = $4.00 * 15% = 0.6
Now we find the total for the after tax rate
Total = $3.67 + $0.6
= $4.27
Therefore, the after tax rate an individual or a person would earn from the said divided is $4.27
TerraLoc competes in the market for global positioning devices and services. The company manufactures its own GPS units, which are smaller than those of any other competitor and include a proprietary battery that lasts 200% longer than any other competitor's battery and that TerraLoc manufacturers on-site. TerraLoc also has developed proprietary software that is much faster and more precise than that of any competitor. When developing the proprietary battery, TerraLoc decided to manufacturer the battery in-house to reduce the possibility that the company it outsourced the battery manufacturing to might reverse engineer the battery and sell a similar product to competitors. This possibility was especially troubling given that the company expected a significant increase in demand due to the improved battery life. Additionally, TerraLoc sells its products and services through its own direct sales force to ensure that its representatives highlight the longer battery life of TerraLoc's units.
TerraLoc's decsion to manufacture the battery in-house is most consistent with which theory(s) of vertical integration?
a. Firm capability-based explanations
b. Alliance-based explanation
c. Opportunism-based explanations
d. Flexibility-based explanations
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: firm capability-based explanations.
Explanation:
To begin with, given the fact that the company decided to manufactured the battery in-house in order to reduce the possibility of helping other competitors when using an outsourced manufacturer then the company is using its firm capability in order to achieve the goal of manufacturing that component of the final product. Therefore that if the company would not have the resources and capability of doing it then it would necessary outsourced the manufactured of it.
In contrasting equity and efficiency, why do high-tech firms seem to treat their employees better (better wages, benefits, working environments, vacations, etc.) compared to how landscaping or fast-food franchises treat their employees
Answer:
High-tech firms are hiring expensive, sophisticated people who are in high demand compared to fast food franchises and treat them better to avoid losing them to other companies
Explanation:
High-tech firms are hiring expensive, sophisticated people who are in high demand. This brings about a better treatment of their employees because if they do not offer these amenities to employees, they would become employees of other high-tech companies. Individuals with low skill levels do not get high salaries or benefits. They are not in as high demand as highly skilled workers. It is efficient, but many would argue that it is not fair.

d. Determine the net realizable value of receivables that will appear on the December 31, Year 1, balance sheet.
Accounts receivable $52,000
Explanation:
truck's depreciation expense straight depreciation = ($56,000 - $6,000) / 5 years = $10,000 per year
accounts receivable balance December 31 = $68,000
allowance for doubtful accounts = $0
total sales on account = $320,000
5% of credit sales are uncollectible
accounts receivable = $68,000 - $16,000 = $52,000

A company had net income of $216,841. Depreciation expense was $28,774. During the year, accounts receivable and inventory increased by $14,088 and $27,397, respectively. Prepaid expenses and accounts payable decreased by $1,485 and $4,297, respectively. There was also a loss on the sale of equipment of $6,914. How much was the net cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows using the indirect method
Answer:
$208,232.00
Explanation:
The net cash provided by operating activities is the net income for the year plus depreciation expense, minus the increase in accounts receivable, inventory and the decrease the accounts payable , plus the decrease in prepaid expenses as well as the loss on disposal of equipment.
Net cash provided by operating activities=$216,841+$28,774-$14,088-$27,397+$1,485-$4,297+$6,914
=$ 208,232.00
The amount of cash provided by operating activities is $208,232.00
The debate on the effects of raising the minimum wage is ongoing. A few years ago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco passed laws to gradually raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. Beaudry, Paul, David A. Green, and Ben M. Sand (investigated the possible effects of these laws on the labor market and concluded that "...for workers below $10 per hour in Seattle, the employment rate declines by over 10 percent in response to raising the minimum wage to $15. Meanwhile, for the larger group with wages at or below $15, the decline is approximately 7 percent." The authors' conclusion is consistent with the specific economic theory discussed in the course that
Answer:
The findings are consistent with the specific economic theory about minimum wage that is held by mainstream, neoclassical theories.
According to this theory, a minimum wage is essentially a binding price floor: a minimum price (in this case, the price of labor, which is the wage) set by the government that is above the market rate.
what happens when imposing this binding price floor is that the supply of labor (workers) becomes higher than the demand (the firms that hire the workers), leading to oversupply. In other words, some workers are left unemployed because there is no demand for them at the price set by the government.
The findings are consistent with this economic theory.
2. Jill would like to plan for her son’s college education. She would like for her son, who was born today, to attend college for 5 years, beginning at age 18. Tuition is currently $12,000 per year and tuition inflation is 6%. Jill can earn an after-tax rate of return of 8%. How much must Jill save at the end of each year, if she wants to make the last payment at the beginning of her son’s first year of college?
Answer:
$4,531.50
Explanation:
first we must determine the cost of tuition in 18 years (2038):
$12,000 x (1 + 6%)¹⁸ = $34,252 per year
to calculate the total value of college tuition (5 years) in 2038 we can use the annuity due factor (6% and 5 years) 4.4651:
total college tuition = $34,252 x 4.4651 = $152,939
this means that Jill needs to have $152,939 for the moment her son starts college:
we have to calculate the payment:
to calculate the future value of an annuity (since she starts to save at end of the year, it is an ordinary annuity, not annuity due) we use the following formula:
future value = payment x ordinary annuity factor (8% and 17 years)
we know future value ($152,939) and the annuity factor = 33.7502
payment = future value / annuity factor
payment = $152,939 / 33.7502 = $4,531.50
On January 1, 2017, Best Shipping Transportation Company purchased a used aircraft at a cost of $ 48 comma 700 comma 000. Best Shipping expects the plane to remain useful for five years (7 comma 300 comma 000 miles) and to have a residual value of $ 4 comma 700 comma 000. Best Shipping expects to fly the plane 925 comma 000 miles the first year, 1 comma 200 comma 000 miles each year during the second, third, and fourth years, and 2 comma 775 comma 000 miles the last year. Requirements Compute Best Shipping's depreciation for the first two years on the plane a. Straight-line method Using the straight-line method, depreciation is $ for 2017 and $ for 2018. b. Units-of-production method (Round the depreciation per unit of output to two decimal places to compute your final answers.) Using the units-of-production method, depreciation is $ for 2017 and $ for 2018. c. Double-declining balance method Using the double-declining-balance method, depreciation is $ for 2017 and $ for 2018.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the first year and the second year is shown below:
a) Straight-line method:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($48,700,000 - $4,700,000) ÷ (5 years)
= ($44,000,000) ÷ (5 years)
= $8,800,000
In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life
So for the 2017 and 2018 the depreciation of $8,800,000 is separately charged
(b) Units-of-production method:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated production)
= ($48,700,000 - $4,700,000) ÷ ($7,300,000 miles)
= ($44,000,000) ÷ ($7,300,000 miles)
= $6.02 per miles
Now for the 2017, it would be
= Miles in first year × depreciation per miles
= 925,000 miles × $6.02
= $5,568,500
And for the 2018, it is
= Miles in second year × depreciation per miles
= 1,200,000 miles × $6.02
= $7,224,000
(b) Double-declining balance method:
First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 5
= 20%
Now the rate is double So, 40%
In year 2017, the original cost is $48,700,000, so the depreciation is $19,480,000 after applying the 40% depreciation rate
And, in year 2018, the ($48,700,000 - $19,480,000) × 40% = $11,688,000
Sunshine Foods manufactures pumpkin scones. For January 2017, it budgeted to purchase and use 14,750 pounds of pumpkin at $0.92 a pound. Actual purchases and usage for January 2017 were 16,000 pounds at $0.85 a pound. Sunshine budgeted for 59,000 pumpkin scones. Actual output was 59,200 pumpkin scones.1. Compute the flexible-budget variance.2. Compute the price and efficiency variances.3. Comment on the results for requirements 1 and 2 and provide a possible explanation for them
Answer:
The explanation of the given scenario is described in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Selling Price, SP = $0.92
AP = $0.85
(1)...
To compute the flexible budget variance,
= [tex]Actual \results - Standard \ results[/tex]
= [tex]( 16000\times 0.85 ) - (\frac{59200\times 14750}{59000\times 0.92} )[/tex]
= [tex]13600 - 13616[/tex]
= $[tex]16 \ (favorable)[/tex]
(2)...
To compute the price and efficiency variances,
[tex]Price \ variance = ( SP - AP )\times AQ \ purchased[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=( 0.92 - 0.85 )\times 16000[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=1120 \ (favorable)[/tex]
Now,
Efficiency variance = (SQ for actual output - AQ ) × SP
⇒ = [tex]( [\frac{59200\times 14750 }{59000} ] - 16000 )\times 0.92[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]1104 \ (favorable)[/tex]
(3)...
The Price variance is the difference that further tends to mean that the material was bought at such a cheaper rate than assumed, but the efficiency variance does seem to be unfavorable, which tends to mean that the content has been used more than anticipated. Yet another possible explanation for that kind of variance could be lower prices contribute to better customer satisfaction,
However, the overall variance seems to be $16 favorable, and therefore final figures could be said to satisfy the requirements.
