"Bic, which is widely known for producing ballpoint pens and related writing products, tried to introduce Bic disposable underwear. The reason this new product failed is likely because of"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a. ineffective branding.

Explanation:

People were already used to seeing Bic as a pen brand to the extent that in some countries Bic is a generic name for all pens . When they introduced the underwear, people could probably see no need to buying an underwear with the Bic brand because they knew it as a pen brand. They therefore could not generate a strong brand association with the new product.

Contracts are a form of private law because the terms contained within a contract bind the relevant parties, not the public as a whole.
a) true
b) false

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: True.

Explanation:

To begin with, the contracts inside the law are regulated by the Anglo-America common law that defines a contract as the agreement between two or more parties in which they establish the basis and principles of the agreement and the clauses that could cause to end the contract. Moreover, a contract is also part of the civil law and therefore that it does not implicate the public as a whole in any way due to the fact that in order to be a correct contract the parties must accept the bond between only them and nobody else.  

On July 1, Shady Creek Resort borrowed $250,000 cash by signing a 10-year, 8% installment note requiring equal payments each June 30 of $37,258. What amount of principal will be included in the first annual payment

Answers

Answer:

Principal payable in year 1 = $17,258

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The annual installment is computed as follows:  

Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor .

The annual installment is already given as 37,258.

Principal payable = Annual installment - interest amount

Interest amount = Interest rate × loan amount

                         = 8%× 250,000 =20,000

Principal payable in year 1 =37,258 - 20,000  =$17,258

Principal payable in year 1 = $17,258

Cold Chiller Corporation (CCC) has annual sales of $10 million, cost of goods sold of 60 percent, average age of inventory of 80 days, average collection period of 35 days, average payment period of 30 days, and purchases that are 60 percent of cost of goods sold. How much does CCC have invested in its cash conversion cycle assuming a 365-day year?

Answers

Answer:

Cold Chiller Corporation (CCC)

Investment in cash conversion cycle:

= $10 million x 60% = $6million

which is invested for 145 (80 + 35 + 30) days before being realized as cash.

Explanation:

The cash conversion cycle (CCC) is a metric that expresses the time (measured in days) it takes for a company to convert its investments in inventory and other resources into cash flows from sales.  It gives us an indication as to how long it takes a company to collect cash from sales of inventory. Often a company will finance its inventory instead of paying for it with cash up front.

The formula for the Cash Conversion Cycle is:

CCC = Days of Sales Outstanding PLUS Days of Inventory Outstanding MINUS Days of Payables Outstanding.

CCC = DSO + DIO – DPO.

Days of Sales outstanding:

DSO = [(Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Account Receivable) / 2] / (Revenue / 365)

Days of Inventory Outstanding:

DIO = [(Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory / 2)] / (COGS / 365)

Operating Cycle = DSO + DIO.

Days of Payables Outstanding:

DPO = [(Beginning Accounts Payable +Ending Accounts Payable) / 2] / (COGS / 365)

A stock has an expected return of 12.6 percent, the risk-free rate is 7 percent, and the market risk premium is 10 percent. What must the beta of this stock be

Answers

Answer:

0.56

Explanation:

In this question we used the Capital Asset Pricing Model formula i.e shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × market risk premium

12.6% = 7% + Beta × 10%

12.6% - 7% = Beta × 10%

5.6% = Beta × 10%

So, the beta is

= 5.6% ÷ 10%

= 0.56

Hence, the beta of the stock is 0.56

The calculated cost of trade credit for a firm that buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, is lower (other things held constant) if the firm plans to pay in 40 days than in 30 days.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

The terms of 2/10, net 30 implies that the firm is entitled to receive a 2 percent discount if it makes payment within 10 days for the goods it bought on term but the seller expects to pay full amount of the amount due in 30 days if it fails to pay within 10 days.

However, since there will be no more discount after the discount period, the cost of trade credit will continue to fall longer the payment is extended. For this question this can be demonstrated using the formula for calculating the cost of trade discount as follows:

Cost of trade discount = {[1 + (discount rate / (1 - discount rate))]^(365/days after discount)} - 1 ................... (1)

We can now applying equation (1) as follows:

For payment in 40 days

Cost of trade credit (payment in 40 days)= {[1 + (0.02 / (1 - 0.02))]^(365/40)} - 1 = 0.202436246672765, or 20%

For payment in 30 days

Cost of trade credit (payment in 30 days) = {[1 + (0.02 / (1 - 0.02))]^(365/30)} - 1 = 0.278643315029666, or 28%

Conclusion

Since the 20% calculated cost of trade credit for payment in 40 days is lower than 28% calculated cost of trade credit for payment in 30 days, the correct option is A. True. That is, the calculated cost of trade credit for a firm that buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, is lower (other things held constant) if the firm plans to pay in 40 days than in 30 days.

Aspin Corporation’s charter authorizes issuance of

2,000,000 shares of common stock. Currently, 1,400,000 shares are outstand-
ing, and 100,000 shares are being held as treasury stock. The firm wishes to

raise $48,000,000 for a plant expansion. Discussions with its investment bankers
indicate that the sale of new common stock will net the firm $60 per share.​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The calculation of the sale of new common stock is shown below:-

a. Not issued = Authorized shares - Outstanding shares - Treasury stock

= 2,000,000 - 1,400,000 + 100,000

= 500,000

Now

Maximum shares = Not issued + Treasury stock

= 500,000 + 100,000

= 600,000

b. Since if we find out the number of shares that should be issued is

= $48,000,000 ÷ $60 per share

= 800,000

But the maximum shares is 600,000 so this shares would only be issued upto this limit only

Therefore the funds should not be raised

c.  Now The firm could also develop extra 200,000 shares together it get amortized also.

Hence, it can sell 800,000 shares and the amount could rise to $48,000,000

Answers

Answer:

Bond Interest Expense                        $22,000

   Cash                                                                                        $22,000

Being semi-annual interest payment on bonds

Explanation:

The semi-interest payment on the bonds equals

Coupon rate × par Value × 1/2

Semi-annual interest payment = 8%× 550,000 × 1/2=22,000

Semi- annual payment = $22,000

The accounting entry to record the interest payment each time payment is made would be:

                                                               Debit                             Credit

Bond Interest Expense                        $22,000

   Cash                                                                                        $22,000

Being semi-annual interest payment on bonds

Note that interest payment is an expense, hence to increase an expense the expense account is debit. On the other hand. the interest payment is a cash outflow, which reduces the cash asset, hence the cash account is credited.

Iron Works International is considering a project that will produce annual cash flows of $38,200, $46,900, $57,600, and $23,100 over the next four years, respectively. What is the internal rate of return if the project has an initial cost of $112,800

Answers

Answer:

18.11%

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-112,800

Cash flow in year 1 = $38,200

Cash flow in year 2 = $46,900

Cash flow in year 3 =$57,600

Cash flow in year 4 =$23,100

IRR = 18.11%

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

If the WACC is greater than 14%, Project A's IRR will exceed Project B's. c. If the WACC is 13%, Project A's NPV will be higher than Project B's. d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's. e. If the WACC is 6%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.

Answers

Answer:

d. If the WACC is 9%, Project B's NPV will be higher than Project A's.

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the return in which the NPV is zero i.e cash inflows equal to the initial investment

While the WACC refers to the cost of capital by considering the capital structure i.e cost of equity, cost of preferred stock and cost of debt by taking their weightage

Now if the WACC is 9% so project B NPV would be higher as compared to project A as we can see that project B IRR is greater than the project A IRR

Therefore option d is correct

XYZ stock is trading at $25.75 and XYZ Jul 25 calls are trading at a premium of $2. What is the time value of the Jul 25 calls

Answers

Answer:

$125

Explanation:

Time value = Premium - Intrinsic value

Premium. = 2 or $200 i.e 2×100

Intrinsic value = 75

= $200 - $75

= $125

The time value of the Jul 25 calls will be $125.

It should be noted that the time value is simply the difference that exist between the premium and the intrinsic value. In this case, the time value will be:

= $200 - $75

= $125

The premium is gotten as 2 × 100 = $200.

Therefore, the time value of the Jul 25 calls will be $125.

a. Stock X pays a higher dividend per share than Stock Y.

Explanation:

stock x, dividend = $1.25

$25 = $1.25 / (12% - g)

12% - g = $1.25 / $25

12% - g = 5%

g = 7%

stock y, dividend = $0.75

$25 = $0.75 / (10% - g)

10% - g = $0.75 / $25

10% - g = 3%

g = 7%

both growth rates are equal, what varies are the dividends that the stocks yield and the required rates of return

Total Current Assets 62,100 Other Assets 36,800
Long-term Liabilities 179,530 Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net 264,350
Compute the debt to equity ratio at December 31, 2018. (Round your answer to two decimal places, X XX)
Total liabilities Total stockholders' equity Debt to equity ratio

Answers

Answer: 1.5

Explanation:

The debt to equity ratio will be calculated as total liabilities divided by the total equities.

The total liabilities is the sum of the total current liabilities and the long term liabilities. This will be:

= 38420 + 179,530

= $217950

Total equities will be the difference between the total assets and total liabilities. This will be:

Total asset = 264,350 + 36,800 + 62,100

= $363,250

Total equity = total asset - total liability

= $363,250 - $217,950

= $145,300

Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities/total equity

= 217950/145,300

= 1.5
