Answer:
Change in government expenditure needed = 300
Explanation:
Multiplier 'k' = Change in Income / Change in Govt. expenditure = dY / d GE = 1 / ( 1-MPC )
Desired change in Y, ie GDP = 900 billion , MPC = 2 / 3.
k = 1 / ( 1 - 2/3 ) = 1 / ( 1/3 ) = 3
3 = 900 / d GE
d GE = 900 / 3 = 300
Change in government expenditure = 300
that its before-tax cost of debt is 9.0%. Its cost of preferred stock is 13.0%. Its cost of internal equity is 17.0%, and its cost of external equity is 22.0%. Currently, the firm's capital structure has $310 million of debt, $60 million of preferred stock, and $130 million of common equity. The firm's marginal tax rate is 45%. The firm is currently making projections for the next period. Its managers have determined that the firm should have $97 million available from retained earnings for investment purposes next period. What is the firm's marginal cost of capital at a total investment level of $269 million
Answer:
9.05%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm's marginal cost of capital at a total investment level of $269 million
Capital Budget = $269 million
To be financed through Equity = 269 million*130/(310+60+130)
To be financed through Equity = 269 million*130/500
To be financed through Equity = 69.9 million
Available from retained earnings = $97 million
Hence, No external equity will be required
Now let calculate the the firm's marginal cost of capital using this formula
WACC = Cost of debt*Weight of Debt + Cost of Preferred Stock*Weight of Preferred Stock + Cost of Equity*Weight of Equity
Let plug in the formula
WACC= 9%(1-45%)*310/500 + 13%*60/500 + 22%*130/500
WACC= 9%(55%)*310/500 + 13%*60/500 + 17%*130/500
WACC=.03069+.0156+.0442
WACC=0.09049*100
WACC=9.049%
WACC=9.05%(Appropriately)
Therefore the firm's marginal cost of capital at a total investment level of $269 million is 9.05%
Carr Inc. purchased equipment for $100,000 on January 1, Year 1. The equipment had an estimated 10-year useful life and a $15,000 salvage value. Carr uses the 200 percent declining balance depreciation method. In its Year 2 income statement, what amount should Carr report as depreciation expense for the equipment
Answer:
$16,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount should Carr report as depreciation expense for the equipment
First step is to calculate Depreciation under Double declining Balance method
Depreciation under DDB = 2/10 x $100,000
Depreciation under DDB =$ 20,000
Now let calculate what amount should Carr report as depreciation expense for the equipment
Depreciation expense=2/10 *($100,000-$20,000)
Depreciation expense=2/10*$80,000
Depreciation expense= $16,000
Therefore what amount should Carr report as depreciation expense for the equipment is $16,000
Two cigarette manufacturers (Firm A and Firm B) are faced with lawsuits from states to recover the healthcare related expenses associated with cigarette smoking. Both cigarette firms have evidence that indicates that cigarette smoke causes lung cancer (and other related illnesses). State prosecutors do not have access to the same data used by cigarette manufacturers and thus will have difficulty recovering full costs without the help of at least one cigarette firm study. Each firm has been presented with an opportunity to lower its liability in the suit if it cooperates with attorneys representing the states. Pursuing its own best interests, Firm Awill concede that cigarette smoke causes cancer.
a. only if Firm B concedesthat cigarette smoke causes lung cancer.
b. only if Firm B does notconcede that cigarette smoke causes lung cancer.
c. regardless of whetherFirm B concedes that cigarette smoke causes lung cancer.
d. none of the above. Inpursuing its own best interests, Firm A will in no case concedethat cigarette
Answer:
d. none of the above. In pursuing its own best interests, Firm A will in no case concede that cigarette smoke causes cancer
Explanation:
The given scenario is a classic case of prisoner's dilemma.
Individuals in a given situation tend to tend to not cooperates or confess even if doing so is in their best interest.
Rationally Firm A will have the incentive of a lower liability in the suit brought against them. But they will in no situation admit that cigarette smoke causes cancer. Even if Firm B admits to it.
The best interest for Firm A will be not to admit and maintain their sales as this will affect their business adversely

A perfectly elastic supply curve is: Group of answer choices upward sloping to the right. vertical. horizontal. downward sloping to the left.
Answer:
vertical
Explanation:
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.

Suppose the Chester company shifts focus to only competing in the Thrift and Nano segments, while competing on price by reducing costs and passing the savings to the customers, what strategy would they be implementing
Answer: c. Niche cost leader
Explanation:
Niche marketing is when a company focuses on a particular market or good. It is usually done to become more efficient in that niche such that one can dominate the market and become more profitable.
When Chester focuses on these markets with the aim of reducing costs, they are trying to be a cost leader in this niche which means that they are trying to produce at the least cost so that they can charge cheaper prices and capture more market share in this particular niche.
Consider the following demand schedule: Price Quantity Demanded $25 20 $20 40 $15 60 $10 80 What is the price elasticity of demand between (using the arc formula) a) Price $25-$20 a) Price $20-$15 a) Price $15-$10
Answer:
3.05
1.38
0.725
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Arc elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands
Price $25-$20
change in quantity demanded = 40 - 20 = 20
average of both demands = (40 + 20) /2 = 30
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/30 = 0.67
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = $25 - $20 = $5
average of both price = ($25 + $20) / 2 = 22.5
Price $20-$15
change in quantity demanded = 60 - 40 = 20
average of both demands = (60 + 40) /2 = 50
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/50 = 0.4
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = $20 - $15 = $5
average of both price = ($15 + $20) / 2 = 17.5
midpoint change in price = 5 / 17.5 = 0.29
0.4/0.29 = 1.38
Price elasticity of demand = 0.67 / 0.22 = 3.05
change in quantity demanded = 80 - 60 = 20
average of both demands = (80 + 60) /2 = 70
Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/70 = 0.29
midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price
change in price = $15 - $10 = $5
average of both price = ($15 + $10) / 2 = 12.5
5/12.5 = 0.4

Assume your entry price for both long and short positions is $50 and you would like to set the reward-risk ratio (RRR) at 1.2. Calculate the profit and loss exit points for both long and short positions.
Answer:
Long Position
Profit exit point: sell limit= 8.33
Loss exit point= 41.66
Short Position
Lost exit point: buy stop= 58
Profit exit point:buy limit=40
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the profit and loss exit points for both long and short positions.
LONG POSITION profit and loss exit points
First step is to calculate the Profit exit point: sell limit
Profit exit point: sell limit=( 50x10% )/1.2
Profit exit point: sell limit=$10/1.2
Profit exit point: sell limit= 8.33
Now let calculate the Loss exit point
Loss exit point=50-8.33
Loss exit point= 41.66
SHORT POSITION profit and loss exit points
Lost exit point: buy stop=20%/x=1.2
Lost exit point: buy stop=20%/2
Lost exit point: buy stop=1.6
Lost exit point: buy stop= 50+(50x1.6)
Lost exit point: buy stop= 58
Now let calculate the Profit exit point:buy limit:
Profit exit point:buy limit=50-(50*.20)
Profit exit point:buy limit=40

In 1 to 2 paragraphs, analyze how a person's ethics or values might affect his performance on the job
Answer:
In simple words, Individual workers' ethical convictions have an impact on team and department productivity as well as individual achievement. Being an ethical worker allows you to be a stronger team participant constantly contributing positively in group situations and just never impeding collective success.
Even though all individuals are important in and of themselves, ethical individuals can be more monetarily useful to their companies as well as more respected by their colleagues and competitors. Reflecting on workplace ethics may help you become a better employee, and it's a good thing to begin if you want to do the right thing all of the time.
Answer:
How can poor ethics devalue you as an asset on the team? Well, if you have poor moral standards and beliefs and what not, people can somewhat easily identify your personality as a negative trait. However if you're a good person with good values and spot on ethics, people will quickly realize that you're a good asset to have on the team.
Your energy, work ethic, and values also determine how good or bad your work ethic is.

Julie evaluated her spending and found that she was spending about $75 more per month on transportation than she has bodgeted She can transfer money from other categories to increase transportation budget to $250 per month If her total monthly income S1,900 , to the nearest percent, what percent of her monthly income will be budgeted for transportation
Answer:
Julie
The percent of her monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation is:
= 13%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Amount budgeted for transportation = $175
Amount being spent on transportation = $250
Total monthly income = $1,900
Percentage of monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation = $250/$1,900 * 100
= 13.16%
= 13.2%
= 13%
Percentage of monthly income earlier budgeted for transportation = 9% ($175/$1,900 * 100)
The additional spending on transportation represents 4% ($75/$1,900 * 100)
New percentage spending on transportation = 13% (9% + 4%)

Use the cost information below for Sundar Company to determine the total manufacturing costs added during the current year:
Direct materials used $19,000
Direct labor used 24,500
Factory overhead 55,100
Beginning work in process inventory 10,700
Ending work in process inventory 11,300
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $98,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials used $19,000
Direct labor used 24,500
Factory overhead 55,100
Beginning work in process inventory 10,700
Ending work in process inventory 11,300
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 10,700 + 19,000 + 24,500 + 55,100 -11,300
cost of goods manufactured= $98,000
Timeless Corporation issued preferred stock with a par value of $600. The stock promised to pay an annual dividend equal to 20.0% of the par value. If the appropriate discount rate for this stock is 13.0%, what is the value of the stock
Answer:
$923.08
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the value of stock
Annual Dividend = 20%*600 = D = 120
Discount rate = r = 13% = 0.13
Value of the preferred stock can be calculated using the perpetuity formula:
Value of the dividend = P = D/r = 120/0.13 = $923.08
Therefore the value of stock is $923.08
Based on your analysis, you prepared a report with several inferences. While proofreading, you come across the following inference. Consider this case: Recapitalization might increase the EPS, but the price per share remains the same. Is the statement true or false
Answer: True
Explanation:
Recapitalization refers to a process where a company alters its capital composition. For instance, it can acquire more debt whilst reducing its equity holdings.
Recapitalization can affect the number of shares that a company has and the weight of those shares in relation to debt but it does not change the price of the stock so this statement is true.
The major advantage of a regular partnership or a corporation as a form of business organization is the fact that both offer their owners limited liability, whereas proprietorships do not. True False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Some owners of a regular partnership (limited liability partnership) or a corporation (S-corporation) enjoy limited liability, unlike the owners of proprietorships, whose business liabilities and solvency are backed with the personal assets of the owners. The owners of a C-corporation enjoy full limited liability unless the corporate veil is lifted by the court, depending on prevailing circumstances. With limited liability also comes limited participation in the management of the entity.

DW has an ending Retained Earnings balance of $51,600. If during the year DW paid dividends of $4,100 and had net income of $21,100, then what was the beginning Retained Earnings balance
Answer:
$34,600
Explanation:
The computation of beginning retained earnings balance is seen below:
But we know that;
Ending balance of retained earnings = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net income - Dividend paid
$51,600 = Beginning retained earnings + $21,100 - $4,100
Beginning retained earnings = $51,600 - $21,100 + $4,100
Beginning retained earnings = $34,600

Present Value of 1 Present Value of an Annuity of 1
Period 12% Period 12%
1 0.893 1 0.893
2 0.797 2 1.690
3 0.712 3 2.402
Required:
a. Compute the net present value of each project.
b. Compute the profitability index of each project.
c. Which project should be selected? Why?
Answer:
a. Net Present Value of Cool:
= Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment
= ∑(Cash flows * Present value factor) - Initial investment
= (38,000 * 0.893) + (43,000 * 0.797) + (48,000 * 0.712) - 97,000
= 102,381 - 97,000
= $5,381
Net Present value of Hot.
Cashflows are constant so this is an annuity:
= Cashflow * Present value interest factor of annuity - Initial investment
= 42,000 * 2.402 - 97,000
= 100,884 - 97,000
= $3,884
b. Profitability index for Cool:
= Present value of inflows / Initial investment
