Question
A new machine, with a 4-year life, has an initial cost of $1,200 and annual costs of $380. The equivalent annual cost of this machine is best described as the"
Assuming an interest rate of 10%
Note the interest rate was added by the tutor
Answer:
Equivalent Annual cost = $758.56
Explanation:
The equivalent annual cost is the present value of cost of the new machine divided by the annuity factor.
PV of annuity cost = A× 1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- 380, r- 10% n- 4
PV of annual cost = 380 × (1- 1.1^(-4))/0.1=1,204.55
PV of total cost = 1,204.55 + 1,200 = 2,404.55
Equivalent annual cost = PV of cost /Annuity factor
Annuity factor =(1- 1.1^(-4))/0.1 = 3.1699
Equivalent Annual cost = 2,404.55 / 3.1699 = $758.5649
Equivalent Annual cost = $758.56
Companies increasingly strive to achieve the ______ performance when formulating their corporate strategy.
Answer:
triple bottom line
Explanation:
Companies increasingly strive to achieve the triple bottom line performance when formulating their corporate strategy. The triple bottom line (TBL) is a framework used in business that focuses on equally on social/environmental concerns as well as profits, thus creating three equal points of interest (bottom lines) which are profit, people, and the environment. This leads to a successful and balanced company.

When you decide to go and have a dinner with your friends in a world class hotel such as the Golden Tulip or La Pleasure Beach, perhaps you would be horrified by the high price you would have to pay for a bottle of soft drink such as Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola or wine or even bottled water. Perhaps you begin to ponder why the same commodity that you can get at a supermarket at one tenth the hotel price is going for such an astronomical price at the hotel. Of course, such facilities will have a warning such “you are not allowed to bring in your own food or drinks” posted at appropriate places in the facility for the attention of customers.In another scenario, you enter a designer shop to buy clothes with a designer label for a friend on their birthday or on Valentine day and you reckon the clothes are so much expensive compared to similar own brand clothes from a clothing or chain store, even though they may cost a similar amount to produce. Using your knowledge in basic economics, especially of the concept of demand and supply, attributes of a competitive market and price elasticity of demand, briefly discuss the following: A. Why may a hotel charge such very high prices for wine, soft drinks or even bottled water and yet quite reasonable prices for food and still get away with such high prices? B. Why are designer shops able to price their clothes so very expensive and yet still get clients even though similar clothes that are available in a supermarket chain shops cost pretty much less? Your answer should not occupy more than one and half pages of A4 paper.
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
A. A hotel charge such very high prices for wine, soft drinks or even bottled water and yet quite reasonable prices for food and still get away with such high prices because the tax rate charged to the hotels may be high. Another reason is due to the reputation of the hotel and also due to the fact the hotel has many services which are rendered to its client and therefore they have to take the cost into consideration when services are provided which can come in form of high prices drinks.
The main reason why food may be cheaper than drinks is that drinks are branded unlike the hotel food which is prepared at the hotel. Also, drinks have tax, which therefore the hotel takes into consideration and increase the price and moreover, the hotels cater for an audience that has inelastic demand, therefore when price increases, the customers are willing to pay a higher price since there's minimal change.
B. The main reason why designer clothes are expensive and still get customers and get clients is because of their reputation and they have a goodwill which has been attached to their brand, therefore consumers will be willing to pay a higher price. Also, the good is a veblen goods which implies that rise in price leads to rise in demand and the good I valued more by the consumers when the price increase.
Identify the advantages and disadvantages of each entry mode.
1. Tight control
2. Cost avoidance
3. Lower costs lost
4. Most costly method
5. Little future
6. Revenue
7. Lost economies
8. Access to local
9. Expertise
10. Profit from
11. Processes
12. Low capital
13. Requirement
14. Battles for control
a. Entry Mode
b. Exporting
c. Turnkey Project
d. Licensing
e. Joint Venture
f. Wholly-Owned
g. Subsidiary
Answer:
Exporting
Advantage
Cost avoidance
Disadvantage
Lower Costs Loss.
With Exporting, one can get into a country with lower costs because they will not have to set up. However they stand to have the disadvantage of losing lower costs.
Turnkey Project
Advantage
Profit from Processes
Disadvantage
Little Future Revenue
Turnkey projects involve building a facility for another company and then fully equipping it. When it is ready you hand it over. You stand to make profits from the process of building but because the facility is given to the purchaser, there is little chance for future revenue.
Licensing
Advantage
Low capital Requirement
Disadvantage
Lost Economies
With Licensing, one does not have to spend a lot to get into a country as other companies just use your license. You however stand the risk of losing your control in the country.
Joint Venture
Advantage
Access to Local Expertise
Disadvantage
Battles for Control
With Joint Venture, an International firm will have access to the expertise of its partners who are locals and know how things are done. However, because the locals know how things are done and are in their country, there might be battles between the partners about who should dominate.
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
Advantage
Tight Control
Disadvantage
Most Costly Method
With a wholly-owned Subsidiary, an international company will have complete control over the affairs of the business and not have to battle for it with anyone. The drawback however is the cost it will take to set up. Large amounts will always have to be spent on starting a fresh company in a different country.

Explanation:
If the real money demand is greater than the real money supply, interest rates must rise to reach equilibrium in the money market as institutions sell bonds to obtain more money.1. True2. False
Answer:
2. False
Explanation:
The market for money is like the market for any other good: if demand is higher than supply, then, the price of money (the interest rate), will have to be lowered, so that money becomes cheaper and more abundant, and supply and demand become equal and reach equilibrium.
In this case, the centrla bank needs to lower the interest rates by buying bonds. When the central bank buys bonds, it prints more money that is put in the market, effectively increasing the supply of money, and lowering the interest rate in the meantime.

Suppose there is an improvement in technology in this market and the price of lamps, a complementary good, increases. What changes do you predict in the equilibrium price and quantity
Answer:
Complementary goods are those goods that, as the word implies, are often used together. For example: milk and cereals, or gasoline and cars.
If the price of a complementary good increases, then, the price of the other complementary good will likely increase as well. The quantity demanded for both will fall, will the supply will increase.
This is exactly what would happen in the case, the price of the good that is complementary to lamps will increase, and its quantity demanded will fall.
Consider the following scenario: The price of a gallon of gas at a SwellGas station in the center of a densely populated suburban area is $3.00 per gallon, but the price of a gallon of gas at the SwellGas station at a rest area right off the highway is $3.50 per gallon. Is this an example of price discrimination?
Answer: Yes, this is an example of Price discrimination.
Explanation:
The word price discrimination refers to the different prices of the same products at different locations.
This is good for the people purchasing it because the people of different areas have different demand and different usage.
Hence, the gas stations have different prices for different locations. The area that have lower demand has higher price and the areas that have more demand has lower price.
Brief Exercise 5-3 Flint Company buys merchandise on account from Windsor, Inc.. The selling price of the goods is $1,050, and the cost of the goods is $660.

On May 10, Monty Corp. issues 1,900 shares of $4 par value common stock for cash at $13 per share. Journalize the issuance of the stock. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
May 10, 2020, 1,900 shares issued at $13
Dr Cash 24,700
Cr Common stock 7,600
Cr Additional paid in capital 17,100
The common stock account increases using the pay value as reference. For example, if the common stock account = $200,000 and the par value of the stocks = $4, then we know that the company has 50,000 common stocks outstanding.
If investors pay any amount over the stocks' par value, that amount must be reported as additional paid in capital, in this case for common stock.

Samantha owns 1,000 shares in Evita, Inc., an S corporation, that uses the calendar year. Her stock basis at the beginning of the tax year was $60,000. Evita's ordinary income for the year was $22,000 through the date of sale, and Samantha receives a distribution of $35,000 on May 3rd. Her stock basis at the end of the year is:
Answer:
$47,000
Explanation:
Stock basis at the time of sales = Stock basis at the beginning + Ordinary income for the part year - Distribution received
it is provided that opening Stock = $60,000
Ordinary income for the part-year = $22,000
Distribution amount received = $35000
Her stock basis at the end of the year is = $60,000 + $22,000 - $35,000
= $82,000 - $35,000
= $47,000
Assume that the demand curve for MP3 players shifts to the right and the supply curve for MP3 players shift to the left, but the supply curve shifts more than the demand curve. As a result:________
a. both the equilibrium price and quantity of MP3 players will decrease.
b. the equilibrium price of MP3 players will decrease; the equilibrium quantity will increase.
c. the equilibrium price of MP3 players may increase or decrease; the equilibrium quantity will decrease.
d. the equilibrium price of MP3 players will increase; the equilibrium quantity will decrease.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: the equilibrium price of MP3 players will increase; the equilibrium quantity will decrease.
Explanation:
First of all, the supply and demand curves are the graphical representation of the price and the quantity demanded and supplied respectively in each case. Moreover, in the graphic when both curves are in equilibrim that means that there is a single point in where the price and the quantity are established together for the market. Furthermore, when there is a shift of any curve that point will be changed so when there is a shift in the demand curve to the right the price will increase and the quantity will increase but if there is a shift in the supply change to the left and that shift is greater then the price will increase but the quantity will decrease.
Skolnick Corporation has provided the following information: Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 5.00 Direct labor $ 4.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.60 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 112,000 Sales commissions $ 1.20 Variable administrative expense $ 0.50 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 35,200 Required: a. If 8,000 units are produced, what is the total amount of direct manufacturing cost incurred? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. If 8,000 units are produced, what is the total amount of indirect manufacturing costs incurred?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $5.00
Direct labor $4.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.60
Fixed manufacturing overhead $112,000
First, we need to calculate the direct production costs if 8,000 units are produced:
Direct costs= direct material + direct labor
Direct costs= (5+4.5)*8,000= $76,000
Now, the indirect costs of production for 8,000 units.
Indirect costs= total variable costs total fixed costs
Indirect costs= 1.6*8,000 + 112,000
Indirect costs= $124,800

Answer:
a.
PV = $2457.826842 rounded off to $2457.83
b.
PV = $865.8953341 rounded off to $865.90
c.
PV = $400
d.
PV = $2703.609527 rounded off to $2703.61
PV = $909.1901008 rounded off to $909.19
PV = $400
Explanation:
An annuity is a series of cash flows that are constant, that occur after equal interval of time and that are for a defined period of time.
An ordinary annuity is the one whose cash flows occur at the end of the period. While an annuity due is the one whose cash flows occur at the start of the period. The formula for the present value of both the ordinary and the due annuity are attached.
a.
PV = 400 * [(1 - (1+0.1)^-10) / 0.1]
PV = $2457.826842 rounded off to $2457.83
b.
PV = 200 * [(1 - (1+0.05)^-5) / 0.05]
PV = $865.8953341 rounded off to $865.90
c.
PV = 400 * [(1 - (1+0.0)^-5) / 0.0]
PV = $400
d.
PV = 400 * [(1 - (1+0.1)^-10) / 0.1] * (1+0.1)
PV = $2703.609527 rounded off to $2703.61
PV = 200 * [(1 - (1+0.05)^-5) / 0.05] * (1+0.05)
PV = $909.1901008 rounded off to $909.19
PV = 400 * [(1 - (1+0.1)^-10) / 0.1]
PV = $400
Teddy's Pillows had beginning net fixed assets of $471 and ending net fixed assets of $550. Assets valued at $319 were sold during the year. Depreciation was $42. What is the amount of net capital spending?
Answer:
Net Capital Spending = $121
Explanation:
The Net Capital Spending is the amount of money a company spends in the acquisition of fixed assets during the year. Mathematically, it is represented as:
Net Capital Spending = Ending net fixed asset - Beginning net fixed asset + depreciation
Net Capital Spending = 550 - 471 + 42 = $121
∴ Net Capital Spending = $121

Suppose the entire banking system has $50 million in excess reserves and a required reserve ratio of 10 percent. The deposit-creation potential of the banking system is:
Answer: $500 million
Explanation:
The required reserve ratio is the fraction of the total deposit that a bank recieves which is mandated by the central bank to be kept and should not be given out.
If the entire banking system has $50 million in excess reserves and a required reserve ratio of 10 percent. The deposit-creation potential of the banking system will be:
= $50million/10%
= $50million/0.1
= $500 million

A jeans maker is designing a new line of jeans called Slims. The jeans will sell for $205 per pair and cost $164 per pair in variable costs to make.(1) Compute the contribution margin per pair.(2) Compute the contribution margin ratio.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The jeans will sell for $205 per pair and cost $164 per pair in variable costs to make.
The contribution margin per unit is calculated using the selling price per unit and the unitary variable cost:
Unitary contribution margin= 205 - 164= $41
Now, to calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
contribution margin ratio= 41/205
contribution margin ratio= 0.2

Haack Inc. is a merchandising company. Last month the company's cost of goods sold was $61,200. The company's beginning merchandise inventory was $12,400 and its ending merchandise inventory was $22,000. What was the total amount of the company's merchandise purchases for the month
Answer: $70,800
Explanation:
Cost of Goods sold are the costs of either producing or acquiring the goods the company plans to sell and Purchases form part of them.
Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Merchandise inventory + Purchases - Closing Merchandise inventory
61,200 = 12,400 + Purchases - 22,000
Purchases = 61,200 - 12,400 + 22,000
Purchases = $70,800
What are the kinds of purchases for which you’ll "spare no expense"? What kinds of purchases do you want to buy spending as little as possible? What are the major differences between these two categories that drive your attitude regarding price?
Answer:
"Spare no Expense" Purchases
When purchasing long-term items (assets) which cannot be consumed within a short-term period, one tends to "spare no expense." These purchases are dictated by their quality and not price. For example, in constructing a building an individual or an entity does not consider the price as a deciding factor. Instead, the entity goes for the best quality at whatever price. In such a situation, it can be described as "sparing no expense" because it can spend as possible as is needed to ensure that the quality of the construction was of the highest standard. A wealthy man does not spare any expense to receive medical treatment. Vacationists spare no expense to go on vacation
These purchases or items come with high prices and they last longer than a year.
On the other hand, one does not want to spend much resources on goods that are not durable. So, the person involved tend to spend as little as possible. No one wants to buy expensive food items. But, the same person can pay for an exorbitant car. No one wants to expend much resources on inner wears, but the same person can spend thousand for the outer wears, to put up appearances.
Ostentatious goods that convey image attract higher prices much more than private goods that others co not care whether you use them or not. This accords with our human natural way of believing in appearances.
The major factors that differentiate between these two categories that drive our attitude regarding price include:
a) Scarcity, b) Longevity, c) Quality, d) Price, e) Durability, f) Ostentation
Explanation:
The expression "spare no expense" means to spend as much financial resources as needed in order to make something happen or bring about an outcome.
