Answer:
Google utilizing its information processing capabilities to provide data analysis services to other firms.
Explanation:
Many people confuse economies of scope with economies of scale. Economies of scope result when producing 2 or more different goods or services together is cheaper than producing them separately. While economies of scale refers to decreasing unit costs as the total output increases.
In the example above, Google already processes information for itself, and it is using that information to sell services to other companies. By producing both services together, the production costs lower.

There are 3 factories on the Momiss River. Each emits 2 types of pollutants, labeled P1 and P2, into the river. If the waste from each factory is processed, the pollution in the river can be reduced. It costs $1500 to process a ton of factory 1 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.10 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.45 ton. It costs $1000 to process a ton of factory 2 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.20 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.25 ton. It costs $2000 to process a ton of factory 3 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.40 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.30 ton. The state wants to reduce the amount of P1 in the river by at least 30 tons and the amount of P2 by at least 40 tons.

20. The consumer price index was 120 in 2013 and 126 in 2014. The nominal interest rate during this period was 8 percent. What was the real interest rate during this period? A) 3 percent B) 2 percent C) 3.3 percent D) 5.2 percent E) 12.8 percent
Answer: 3%
Explanation:
To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:
= [(126-120)/120] × 100
= 6/120 × 100
= 5%
Real interest rate will now be:
= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?
Answer:
$3.08 per square foot
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot
First step is to find the common area
Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000
Second step is to find Common area operating costs
Common area operating costs = 700,000×8
Common area operating costs= $5.6 million
Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000
Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula
In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet
Let plug in the formula
In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000
In-line CAM charges= $3.08
Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
Answer:
a. P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States; and also P = 20 and Q = 100 in France.
b. P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States; and P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
Explanation:
Note: The part b of the requirement is not complete. The entire question is therefore represented with the complete pat b before answering the question as follows:
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In economics, an equilibrium occurs at point where the quantities demanded is equal to the quantities supplied.
Let Q denotes equilibrium quantity and P denotes equilibrium price, the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries can therefore be calculated as follows:
In the United States
QD =300 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −300 + 20P
300 + 300 = 20P + 10P
600 = 30P
P = 600 / 30
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States.
In France
QD = 300 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
300 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
333.33 = 16.67P
P = 333.33 / 16.67
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 also in France.
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In the United States
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −300 + 20P
400 + 300 = 20P + 10P
700 = 30P
P = 700 / 30
P = 23.33
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(23.33)
Q = 400 – 233.30
Q = 166.70
Therefore, P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States.
In France
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
400 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
433.33 = 16.67P
P = 433.33 / 16.67
P = 25.99 = 26
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(26)
Q = 400 – 260
Q = 140
Therefore, P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Total current liabilities $15,575 $16,539
(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.

A company has the following aging schedule of its accounts receivable with the estimated percent uncollectible:______.
Age Group Amount Receivable Estimated Percent Uncollectible
Not yet due $ 175,000 4 %
0-60 days past due $ 40,000 10 %
61-120 days past due $ 10,000 30 %
More than 120 days past due $ 5,000 60 %
Assuming the balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $3,000 (credit) before adjustment, which of the following would be recorded in the year-end adjusting entry?
Answer: $14,000
Explanation:
Estimated Uncollectible = (4% * 175,000) + ( 10% * 40,000) + ( 30% * 10,000) + (60% * 5,000)
= 7,000 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 3,000
= $17,000
The credit balance on the Allowance account will be used to account for some of the uncollectibles. The remaining amount will be the year-end adjusting entry;
= 17,000 - 3,000
= $14,000
The city of Belgrade, Serbia, is contemplating building a second airport to relieve congestion at the main airport and is considering two potential sites, X and Y. Hard Rock Hotels would like to purchase land to build a hotel at the new airport. The value of land has been rising in anticipation and is expected to skyrocket once the city decides between sites X and Y. Consequently, Hard Rock would like to purchase land now. Hard Rock will sell the land if the city chooses not to locate the airport nearby. Hard Rock has four choices: (1) buy land at X, (2) buy land at Y, (3) buy land at both X and Y, or (4) do nothing. Hard Rock has collected the following data (which are in millions of euros):
Site X Site Y
Current purchase price 29 18
Profits if airport & hotel built at this site 35 30
Sale price if airport not built at this site 8 4
Hard Rock determines there is a 55% chance the airport will be built at X (hence, a 45% chance it will be built at Y)
Set up a decision table (in millions of Euros) (enter as a whole number and include minus sign if necessary)

Payoff if you buy land at X = (0.55 x 6) + (0.45 x -) = -3
Payoff if you buy land at Y = (0.55 x -21) + (0.45 x 12) = -6.15
Payoff if you buy land at X and Y = (0.55 x -15) + (0.45 x -2) = -9.15
Payoff for doing nothing = 0
The best option is simply doing nothing. The risks are too high, the potential losses are very large and the benefits are really low.
Midland Petroleum is holding a stockholders’ meeting next month. Ms. Ramsey is the president of the company and has the support of the existing board of directors. All 12 members of the board are up for reelection. Mr. Clark is a dissident stockholder. He controls proxies for 42,001 shares. Ms. Ramsey and her friends on the board control 52,001 shares. Other stockholders, whose loyalties are unknown, will be voting the remaining 24,998 shares. The company uses cumulative voting.
Required:
a. How many directors can Mr. Clark be sure of electing?
b. How many can Ms Rmasey be sure of electing
c. How many votes could clark have if he had all the uncommitted votes
d. Does that give him control?
e. If nine directors were to be elected, and Ms. Ramsey and her friends had 70,001 shares and Mr. Clark had 48,001 shares plus half the uncommitted votes, how many directors could Mr. Clark elect?
Answer:
Midland Petroleum
a. Mr. Clark can be sure of electing = 4 directors
b. Ms Ramsey can be sure of electing = 5 directors
c. If Mr. Clark had all the uncommitted votes, he can elect = 7 directors
d. With 7 directors, he has control.
e. Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
Explanation:
Board members = 12
Mr. Clark control = 42,001 shares or 35.295%
Ms. Ramsey control = 52,001 shares or 43.698%
Undecided shareholders = 24,998 shares or 21.01%
Total shareholding = 119,000 shares or 100%
Mr. Clark can elect = 35.295% of directors = 4
Ms. Ramsey can elect = 43.698% of directors = 5
Other shareholders can elect = 21.01% of directors = 3
New shareholding:
Ms. Ramsey and friends = 70,001 shares
Mr. Clark and half uncommitted votes = 60,500 (48,001 + 12,499)
Half of the other uncommitted votes = 12,499
Total votes = 143,000
Mr. Clark can elect (60,50/143,000 * 9) = 4 directors.
One of the disadvantages of the sole proprietorship is related to the fact that the amount of equity capital that can be raised to finance the business is limited to the owner's personal wealth. ____________ is about determining how the firm should finance or pay for assets. The risk manager monitors and manages the firm's risk exposure in financial and commodity markets and the firm's relationships with insurance providers. Privately held, or closely held, corporations are typically owned by a small number of investors, and their shares are not traded publicly.
Answer:
The missing word is: Financial Risk
Explanation:
To begin with, the name of "Financial Risk" is used in the field of business and finances in order to explain that the companies, and also the government, have to find a way to determine how the firm will finance itself so that they could pay for all the assets they own. Moreover, this financial term implicates the loss of the money that can happen when the company needs to invest in assets and the operations may not go right. So that is why that it is a concept used to understand the danger that the organization has when it comes to acquire the assets and pay for them.
Producers of snack foods (such as candy bars or potato chips) are most likely to use a(n) _____________ distribution strategy for their products.
Answer:
A.intensive
Explanation:
Products such as chocolate bars and chips fit the classification of non-durable consumer goods, that is, those that are produced for immediate consumption.
Its characteristics involve meeting the needs of the final consumer periodically, generally they are low-cost products that need quick replacement to meet the high demand for these non-durable products.
Therefore, the best strategy for the distribution of non-durable products is the intensive strategy, making it available in different places with easy access to the consumer and with high replacement.
garland mills purchased a certain piece of macinery 3 years ago for $500,000. Its present resale value is $320,000. Assuming that the macine's resale value decreases exponentially, what will it be 4 years from now
Answer:
New value= $80,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $500,000
Current value= $320,000
First, we need to calculate the annual decrease in value:
Total decrease 3 years= 500,000 - 320,000= 180,000
Annual decrease= 180,000/3 = $60,000
Now, the value of the machine 4 years from now:
New value= 320,000 - (60,000*4)
New value= $80,000

= Mallory demand at $0.75 per can + Rick demand at $0.75 per can
= 30 + 20
= 50
Hence, the market demand is 50
1. Accrual accounting is used by the vast majority of companies. *
O
True
O False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The accrual accounting system is one of the two methods of reporting or recording income and expenses. The other way is the cash system.
In the accrual method, income and expenses are accounted for when they were earned or incurred regardless of whether money changed hands. Sales are reported when goods are delivered, and the invoice is issued even if the customer has not paid.
The accrual system is the standard method of operating for many businesses, big and small. The accrual method matches revenue and income with the time of their respective economic events. The general accounting principles recommend the accrual accounting system for both the private and public sectors.
Alan inherited $100,000 with the stipulation that he "invest it to financially benefit his family." Alan and his wife Alice decided they would invest the inheritance to help them accomplish two financial goals: purchasing a Park City vacation home and saving for their son Cooper’s education.
Vacation Home Cooper’s Education
Initial investment $50,000 $50,000
Investment horizon 5 years 18 years
Alan and Alice have a marginal income tax rate of 32 percent (capital gains rate of 15 percent) and have decided to investigate the following investment opportunities.
Required:
Determine the two annual after-tax rate of return.
Answer:
the question is missing the information about potential investments, so I looked for a similar one:
5 Years 18 Years
Corporate bonds 5.75% 4.75%
(ordinary interest taxed annually)
Dividend-paying stock 3.50% 3.50%
(no appreciation and dividends are taxed at 15%)
Growth stock FV $65,000 FV $140,000
Municipal bond (tax-exempt) 3.20% 3.10%
Alan and Alice should invest in growth stocks since they yield the highest after tax return:
5 years:
FV of growth stocks = $65,000
taxable gain = $65,000 -$50,000 = $15,000 x 15% = $2,250
net gain = $15,000 - $2,250 = $12,750
to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:
62,750 = 50,000 x (1 + r)⁵
(1 + r)⁵ = 62,750 / 50,000 = 1.255
⁵√(1 + r)⁵ = ⁵√1.255
1 + r = 1.046
r = 4.6% after tax yield per year
18 years:
FV of growth stocks = $140,000
taxable gain = $140,000 -$50,000 = $90,000 x 15% = $13,500
net gain = $90,000 - $13,500 = $76,500
to determine the yield rate we can use the future value formula:
126,500 = 50,000 x (1 + r)¹⁸
(1 + r)¹⁸ = 126,500 / 50,000 = 2.53
¹⁸√(1 + r)¹⁸ = ¹⁸√2.53
1 + r = 1.053
r = 5.3% after tax yield per year

Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
Scenario: You are 30 years old, married, have two children, and household income (take-home pay) of$3,500 per month. Your credit and consumer debt is as follows:_______.
• Car loan, 6% interest rate, $10,000 balance, $295 per month
• Department store card, 28% interest rate, $600 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
• Discover Card, 12% interest rate, $2,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• VISA Card, 13% interest rate, $3,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 1, 14% interest rate, $4,000 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• MasterCard 2, 14% interest rate, $0 balance, minimum payment 2% of balance
• Gasoline card, 21% interest rate, $300 balance, minimum payment 5% of balance
Assume all credit cards will assess a $35 late fee and ongoing penalty interest of 8% above the currentrate if you miss a payment. Your recent VISA card statement came with a blank cash advance check(for up to $10,000) with terms of 23.99% APR and a fee of 3% if you use it. Your recent MasterCard 2statement came with a balance transfer oFer (up to $4,000) with no fee and 0% APR for 12 months,after which the normal interest rate applies. You recently found an incorrect amount charged on yourVISA card from a store you frequent often. You’d like to come up with a plan to eliminate all of yourcredit card debt.
In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
Yes, you can invest the money saved each month to earn interest.
No, it will cause your interest rate to go up.
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for manyyears.
Yes, this allows you more ±exibility in your cash budget.
Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, howmuch should you pay on each card?

Answer:
1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?
No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.
2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?
I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900
Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.
The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.
Lambert Company acquired machinery costing $110,000 on January 2, 2019. At that time, Lambert estimated that the useful life of the equipment was 6 years and that the residual value would be $15,000 at the end of its useful life. Compute depreciation expense for this asset for 2019, 2020, and 2021 using the:
Compute depreciation expense for this asset for 2016, 2017, and 2018 using the a. Straight-line method b. Double-declining balance method C. Assume that on January 2, 2018, Lambert revised its estimate of the useful life to 7 years and changed its estimate of the residual value to $ 10,000. What effect would this have on depreciation expense in 2018 for each of the above depreciation methods?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
(a) Under straight-line method,
We have depreciation expense to be (cost - residual value) ÷ No of years =
=> ($110,000 - $15,000) ÷ 6 years = $15,833 yearly depreciation expense.
Hence, the year depreciation expense of $15,833 is applicable to all the Years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Therefore, sum of depreciation for all the three years is calculated as
=> $15,833 * 3 years = $47,499.
(b) Under the double-declining method
We have = 2 * SLDP * BV
Where SLDP = Straight - Line Depreciation Percentage
BV = Book value
Hence, SLDP is 100% ÷ 6 years = 16.67%,
Thus, 16.67% * 2 => 33.33%
Therefore, Year 2016, 33.33% * $110,000 = $36,663
For Year 2017, 33.33% * $73,337 ($110,000 - $36,663) = $24,443
For Year 2018, 33.33% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $16,296
Adding all the three Years together => 2016 to 2018, => $77,402
(c) Given that after 2 years, the revised estimated useful life becomes 7 years and the residual value is $10,000, depreciation would be calculated as follows:
Under the straight-line method,
NBV = Net Book Value, at the end of 2017 is: $110,000 - $15,833 * 2 years = $78,334
Depreciation expense is therefore: ($78,334 - $10,000) ÷ 7 years = $9,762 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Also,
Under the double-declining method,
SLDP is 100% ÷ 7 years = 14.29%, * 2 => 28.57%.
For Year 2018,
28.57% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $13,969 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question:
the requirements are:
calculate depreciation expense using straight line, double depreciation, sum of the years' digits methods
straight line depreciation:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
depreciation expense per yer = $95,000 / 6 = $15,833.33
depreciation expense 2019 = $15,833depreciation expense 2020 = $15,833depreciation expense 2021 = $15,834double declining balance:
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 2/6 = $36,667depreciation expense 2020 = ($110,000 - $36,667) x 2/6 = $24,444depreciation expense 2021 = ($73,333 - $24,444) x 2/6 = $16,296sum of the years' digits method:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
sum of years = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21 years
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 6/21 = $31,429depreciation expense 2020 = $110,000 x 5/21 = $26,190depreciation expense 2021 = $110,000 x 4/21 = $20,952Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms. A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.
Required:
a. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the product approach.
b. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the expenditure approach.
c. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the income approach.
Answer:
1) GDP using product Approach ; Market value of all goods and services produced
= Coconut + Restaurant meal
= 10 million*$2 + ($30 million - $6 million*$2) as 6 million coconuts are sold to restaurant as raw materials so to avoid double counting.
= $20 million + $30 million - $12 million
= $38 million
2) Expenditure Approach : Consumption + Investment + Government Expenditure + Net Exports
= $4 million * $2 + $30 million + $5.5 million
= $8 million + $30 million + $5.5 million
= $43.5 million
3) Income Approach : Wages + Rent + Interest + Profit
= $5 million + $0.5 million + $1.5 million +$3 million + $4 million + $1 million
= $15 million
Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,750 units at $40 per unit. Variable expenses are 30% of the selling price. If total fixed expenses are $39,000, the degree of operating leverage is:
Answer:
1,750=$40=1,750×40=70-30÷100×39,000=58,3
Explanation:
is total cost of production can be fixed cost +variable cost
Answer:
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
Explanation:
To calculate the degree of operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:
degree of operating leverage= Total contribution margin / operating income
Total Contribution margin= 1,750*(40*0.7)= $49,000
Operating income= 49,000 - 39,000= $10,000
degree of operating leverage= 49,000/10,000
degree of operating leverage= 4.9
Company XYZ closed at $ per share with a P/E ratio of . Answer the following questions. a. How much were earnings per share? b. Does the stock seem overpriced, underpriced, or about right given that the historical P/E ratio is 12-14?
Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question
Company XYZ closed at $53.02 per share with a P/E ratio of 14.02 .
Answer :
A) $3.79
B) underpriced
Explanation:
Given data:
Closing price ( price per share ) = $53.02
P/E ratio = 14.02
A ) How much earnings per share
Earnings per share = price per share / (P/E) ratio
= 53.02 / 14.02 = $3.79
B) To check if the stock is overpriced, underpriced or about right
i) At P/E ratio = 12
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 12 = $4.43
Earning yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 4.43 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 8.33%
ii) At P/E ratio = 13
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 13 = $4.09
Earning Yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= (4.09 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.69%
iii) At P/E ratio = 14
Earnings per share = 53.02 / 14 = $ 3.8
Earnings yield = ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.8 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.14%
The average of the earning yield given P/E ratio is 12-14
= ( 8.33 + 7.69 + 7.14 ) % / 3 = 7.72%
while The earning yield given P/E ratio is 14.02
= ( earning per share / market value ) * 100
= ( 3.79 / 53.02 ) * 100 = 7.12%
Therefore the stock is underpriced
You are in the business of producing and selling snow shovels, and you need to determine how many shovels should be produced during each of the next four quarters to meet the following demands: 11,000 shovels in quarter 1; 48,000 shovels in quarter 2; 64,000 shovels in quarter 3; and 15,000 shovels in quarter 4.
Due to labor limitations, at most 65,000 shovels can be produced in any one quarter at a cost of $5/shovel. Additionally, a fixed cost of $30,000 must be paid for any quarter in which shovels are produced. You may assume that any shovels produced during a quarter can be used to satisfy demand for that quarter. At the end of the quarter, a holding cost of $0.50 per shovel in inventory is incurred. Currently, you have no shovels in inventory.
Required:
Formulate an integer-linear program to determine a production schedule that minimizes the sum of production and inventory costs over the next four quarters.
Answer:
Quarter Production
Q1 11000
Q2 62000
Q3 65000
Q4 0
This will generate lower production and inventory cost as it savesthe fixed cost of 30,000 if we produce in the fourth quarter.
Explanation:
First, we construct the formula for the relevant cost:
Holding Cost: $0.50 per shovel
$0.50 x 2 x (Q2-48,000) + $0.50 x (Q1-11,000) = Holding Cost Q2
$0.50 x 1 x (Q3-64,000) = Holding Cost Q3
First, the restrictions:
P1 P2 P3 P4 are Integer
P1 < 65,000
P2 < 65,000
P3 < 65,000
P4 < 65,000
Then, we have the inventory formulas:
I1 = P1 - S1
I2 = P2 + I1 -S2
I3 = P3 + I2 - S3
I4 = P4 + I3 - S4
The holding cost
H1 = I1 x 0.50
H2 = I2 x 0.50
H3 = I3 x 0.50
H4 = I4 x 0.50
The fixed cost
if P1> 0 then FC1 = 30,000
if P2> 0 then FC2 = 30,000
if P3> 0 then FC3 = 30,000
if P4> 0 then FC4 = 30,000
And last,the total cost:
FC1 + H1 +FC2 + H2 +FC3 + H3 +FC4 + H4 = Total Cost
This is the formula we want to minimize
We place this into excel solver and get the answer:
