Net income                           $357,120             $204,768

Earning per shares = Net income / Weighted average number of shares

Blos som Co.

Earning per shares = $357,120 / 80,000

Earning per shares = $4.46

Oriole Company

Earning per shares = $204,768 / 50,000

Earning per shares = $4.10

b.                                       Blos som Company   Oriole Company

The required rate of return on the market, rm, will not change as a result of these changes c. The required rate of return for each individual stock in the market will increase by an amount equal to the increase in the market risk d. The required rate of return on a riskless bond will decline. e. The required rate of return for an average stock will increase by an amount equal to the increase in the market risk premium.

Answers

Answer: e. The required rate of return for an average stock will increase by an amount equal to the increase in the market risk premium.

Explanation:

The market risk premium is the interest rate over the risk-free rate that investors will be compensated with for taking on the risk. Returns consist of both the risk-free rate and a premium charged for risk.

If investors become more risk averse, they will have to be compensated for what they view as riskier investments by increasing the premium being given to them.

Should this happen, the return that they will require will therefore increase by the same amount that the premium has increased.

Some 150 million customers a month visit Amazon and the company passes through $160 billion in sales via its global supply channels and partnerships making interorganizational relationships very important to the company. Which interacting organization has a low coordination, low integration, transactional focus

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Amazon is fastest growing company in the world which has crossed 2 billion customer visits. It has also increased the worth of the company to $1.14 trillions. The supply chain management is where the strengths of the company lies and nobody can match the pricing strategy, quality management and other significant factors that are included in the supply chain management to ensure that the customer is having what they are paying for.

Supply chain management process includes the key partners which includes their suppliers, partners, clients and customers as well who play important roles in the supply chain process by coordinating, integrating systems with each other and are involved in the transaction-al process.

The customers are the one who interact fewer than partners, suppliers, clients, etc because all they do is order a particular product. This is the first interaction of the customer with Amazon and the last interaction is when the customer received the order. So this means they are less interacting party in this process.

Suppliers are continuously contacted and informed about the pricing, supply chain issues, etc so that the company is able to deliver its customers what they are desiring. Supply chain partners also in the process of interacting with Amazon as they have to move products from supplier to the customer. These partners are highly interacted, possess integrating systems and of transaction-al importance to the company.

Assume that the CEO of a company gave you the project charter specifying your authority, among others to work on an initiative providing health services to the community in a certain neighborhood. Before the company embarked on the project, the team analyzed the health sector development program of the country and read through laws the country enacted regarding the health sector. It also did a market survey to solicit information as to who does what. From the analysis, it learned that several companies where engaged in the provision of solar energy. As it did not want to be engaged in providing the same service that others were offering, it started developing solar powered mobile clinic. With an initial outlay of birr 5 Million, the project would last for 7 years. Since the whole work was too huge to consider all at once, the project manager and the team decomposed the project into manageable compartments and then to activities. It also developed schedule, set standards, and anticipated possible bottlenecks along the way. From the analysis it made, it found out that there would be a 20% chance that medical supplies would be delivered late costing the company ETB 350,000. There would also be a 40% chance that the company would save ETB 175,000 in time as it would build the component using already existing templates instead of starting from scratch. Finally, the team would like to make sure that the work would satisfy all of the requirements so that it would get the acceptance of the clients. 1.

(b) If the required return is 10 percent and the company applies the profitability index decision rule, which project should the firm accept?
Requirement 2:
(a) If the required return is 10 percent, what is the NPV for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places .

Answers

Answer:

PI for the first project = 1 + ($5,673.93 / 87,000) = 1.065

PI for the second project = 1 + ($5,561.23 / $55,000) = 1.101

b. the second project should be chosen because the PI is higher

NPV for 1 = $5,673.93

NPV for 2 =   $5,561.23

Explanation:

profitability index  = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

for the first project

Cash flow in year 0 = –$87,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 36,900

Cash flow in year 2 = 47,000

Cash flow in year 3 =  27,000

I = 10%

NPV = $5,673.93

for the second project

Cash flow in year 0 = –$55,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 11,700

Cash flow in year 2 =  34,500

Cash flow in year 3 = 28,500

I = 10%

NPV = $5,561.23  

PI for the first project = 1 + ($5,673.93 / 87,000) = 1.065

PI for the second project = 1 + ($5,561.23 / $55,000) = 1.101

b. the second project should be chosen because the PI is higher

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

richard has two investment opportunities. He can invest in the sunglasses company or the umbrella company. if he diversifies his investment by putting 50% of his money into each company, what is the expected return and standard deviation of his portfolio

Answers

Answer:

Some information was missing, so i looked it up:

Rainy                           .50                               0%                          25%

expected returns:

Sunglasses Company = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = 0.5 x 25% = 12.5%,

so the expected return of the portfolio = (12.5% x 0.50) + (12.5% x 0.50) = 12.5%

standard deviation:

Sunglasses Company = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

Umbrella Corporation = √{[(0% - 12.5%)² + (25% - 12.5%)²] / 2} = √156.25 = 12.5%

so the standard deviation of the portfolio = 12.5%

A sole proprietor owned an office building with a cost of $300,000 and accumulated depreciation of $40,000, using modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) straight-line depreciation. In the current year, she sold the building for $320,000. What is the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from this sale, if any

Answers

Answer:

The Correct Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

IRC Section 1250 requires that excess depreciation (actual depreciation in excess of straight-line depreciation) be recaptured as ordinary income. Since the property has sold for more than the adjusted basis ($300,000 − $40,000 = $260,000 adjusted basis), the initial gains are recaptured based on the original purchase price of $300,000.

This makes the first $40,000 of the profit subject to the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain while the remaining $20,000 is considered regular long-term capital gains.

In 2019, Dan transferred 5-year property to Fleck Corp. in a tax-deferred Section 351 transaction. Fleck took Dan's adjusted basis in the property. Dan originally placed the depreciable property in service in 2017. What year of the depreciation schedule will Fleck use to depreciate the property

Answers

Answer:

The property will be depreciated using the remaining 3 years of its life after the tax-free incorporation transfer year.  This is because Dan had already depreciated the property for 2 years before the transfer.

Explanation:

Sec. 351 allows a tax-free incorporation transfer if certain requirements are met, including that the property must be transferred to Fleck Corporation by Dan in exchange for stock in Fleck Corporation, and, immediately after the exchange, the Fleck Corporation is in control.

An investment adviser representative's friend provides him with a list of 10 prospective clients. The representative agrees to pay his friend a referral fee for each person on the list that opens an account with the adviser. Which statement is TRUE

Answers

Answer: C. The arrangement is permitted only if it is in writing between the investment adviser and the friend and the arrangement is disclosed in writing to any customer opening an account

Explanation:

The friend in this case will be ruled to be a Solicitor under SEC Rules as they are referring clients to the Investment Adviser for a fee.

As such this business relationship between the friend and the Investment Adviser representative will fall under SEC Rule 206(4)-3 Cash payments for client solicitations. This rule makes it clear amongst other things that the investment adviser will have to prepare a written disclosure document which will inform any customer opening an account  of the agreement between the adviser and his friend.

d. 2,700.

Answers

Answer:

3,000 units

Explanation:

Calculation for How many units are in ending work in process inventory

Using this formula

Ending work in process units =Beginning work in process units + Units started into production - Transferred to the second processing department units

Let plug in the formula

Ending work in process units= 2,300 units + 8,700 units - 8,000 units

Ending work in process units= 3,000 units

Therefore 3,000 units are in the ending work in process inventory in the first processing department at the end of the month.

d. Business process reengineering, best practice standardization programs, and six sigma
e. adoption of best practices, TQM, and business process reengineering

Answers

Answer:

e. adoption of best practices, TQM, and business process reengineering

Explanation:

To promote operational excellence in the execution of value chain activities, the most appropriate tools to be implemented in an organization are the adoption of best practices, TQM and business process reengineering.

Total quality management refers to the continuous improvement of all operational processes, in order to reduce costs, failures, and waste, leading to the implementation, control and review of all organizational processes, including the adoption of advanced technology, adequate training for employees, etc.

Business process reengineering would also help the organization reevaluate its value chain and implement improvements that would increase the performance and functionality of each essential step in the value chain.

Therefore, these integrated tools would ensure continuous optimization at all stages of the value chain, which would mean for the company the effectiveness of the channels and activities for the company to produce the right product, in the right quantity, in the right place and at the right time.

Which of the following statements accurately brings out the difference between technology enthusiasts and early adopters?

A. While the customer segment in the introduction stage consists of early adopters, the customers entering the market in the growth stage are technology enthusiasts.
B. Unlike technology enthusiasts, early adopters' demand is fueled more by intuition and vision rather than technology concerns.
C. While early adopters make up the smallest market segment, technology enthusiasts make up the mass market.
D. Firms need to communicate products' potential applications in a more direct way when attracting technology enthusiasts rather than early adopters.

Answers

Answer:

B. Unlike technology enthusiasts, early adopters' demand is fueled more by intuition and vision rather than technology concerns.

Explanation:

When a company is growing it attracts various types of customers that patronise their products.

The technology enthusiasts are those ones that will test a beta version of a product and make technological recommendations. They have passion for testing latest gadgets and have more knowledge of the product than the average customer.

Early adopters are those that adopt a product before most other people. They are less concerned with technology concerns, but rather are visionary.

They focus on the potential of a product and therefore promote it to other users. A trait of early adopter is that they want to stay ahead of the trend so they seek out new products.

Suppose you invest equal amounts in a portfolio with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 18% and a risk-free asset with an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the expected return on the resulting portfolio. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

You invest equal amounts in a portfolio yielding 16% and a risk-free asset yielding 4%.

The expected return will be a weighted average of these two;

= (Weight of the Portfolio * Portfolio return) + (Weight of the Portfolio * risk-free rate)

= (0.5 * 16%) + (0.5 * 4%)

= 8% + 2%

= 10%

The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.

Full question reads;

The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.

 a.     frequency

b.    consumption

c.     pressures

d.    rules

Answer:

a.     frequency

Explanation:

Indeed, no particular human project can last forever, so there is a need to ascertain the frequency of a project, detailing how often the project would be repeated so as to also determine what the project's lifespan will be.

For example, a road construction project may take into account how often the road would be used, which provides insight into the frequency of road repairs and the overall lifetime of the car.

The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.

A firm has a market value equal to its book value. Currently, the firm has excess cash of $1,200 and other assets of $7,800. Equity is worth $9,000. The firm has 600 shares of stock outstanding and net income of $760. What will the new earnings per share be if the firm uses its excess cash to complete a stock repurchase?

Answers

Answer: $1.46

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Net Income/Number of shares

Value of shares at current = 9,000/600

= $15 a share

Excess cash is $1,200.

Using that, the following number shares can be purchases;

= 1,200/15

= 80 shares

New number of shares = 600 - 80

= 520 shares

New EPS

= 760/520

= $1.46

Eleanor spends all of her money on magazines and donuts. In 2014, she earned $14.00 per hour, the price of a magazine was $7.00, and the price of a donut was $1.00.
Which of the following give the nominal value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is 2 magazines per hour in 2014.
Which of the following give the real value of a variable?
A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.
B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.
C. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.
Suppose that the Fed sharply increases the money supply between 2014 and 2019. In 2019, Eleanor's wage has risen to $28.00 per hour. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.
In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is ________.
Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage ______, and the real value of her wage _________.
Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply nominal variables and _______ real variables.

Answers

Answer;

1. A. Eleanor's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2014.

B. The price of a donut is $1.00 in 2014.

When a variable is stated in nominal terms, it is usually given as a fixed monetary value because it is not adjusted for inflation. It therefore mentions just the price as is.

2. A. Eleanor's wage is 14 donuts per hour in 2014.

B. The price of a magazine is 7 donuts in 2014.

When goods are described in real terms, they are related to another good in order to adjust them for inflation.

3. The price of a magazine is $14.00 and the price of a donut is $2.00.

In 2019, the relative price of a magazine is 7 donuts.

The relative price = Price of Magazine/ Price of donuts

= 14/2

= 7 donuts.

4.  Between 2014 and 2019, the nominal value of Eleanor's wage increases, and the real value of her wage remains the same.

As a result of the increase in money supply, Eleanor's wages increased nominally from $14 to $28.

However, in real terms her wages did not increase at all because the price level in the economy increased by the same rate that her wages increased meaning that she is still only able to buy the same quantity of things.

5. Monetary neutrality is the proposition that a change in the money supply affects nominal variables and does not affect real variables.

From Eleanor's example above, the concept of Money Neutrality is shown in that while a change in money supply will affect nominal variables, it will not affect real variables due to a general rise in prices.

A company has established 7 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 7,200 pounds of Material J that cost $13,080. The direct materials quantity variance is:

Answers

Answer:

-$400 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of direct materials quantity variance is shown below:-

Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Quantity × Standard Price) - (Actual quantity × Standard price)

= (1,000 × 7 × $2) - (7,200 × $2)

= $14,000 - $14,400

= -$400 unfavorable

Therefore for computing the direct material quantity variance we simply applied the above formula.

Compared to countries with less economic freedom, countries with more economic freedom achieve higher per person income levels, but they also have higher poverty rates.grow more rapidly, but the income levels of the poor are largely unaffected by the higher growth rates of the freer economies.achieve both higher income levels per person and lower rates of poverty.grow less rapidly and experience higher poverty rates.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: Achieve higher per person income levels, but they also have higher poverty rates.

Explanation:

What happens is that in countries with greater economic freedom, there is the free market, which is an economic form of the capitalist system that allows trade to be conducted free of external forces, being guided by the law of supply and demand. This system allows greater economic interaction with internal and external economic agents whose main objective is to generate profits.

The strong industrialization resulting from the capitalist system causes the greatest economic growth in a country and can increase the levels of per capita income, but it also generates greater social inequality that directly affects the growth of poverty rates. Generally, the main indicators of economic growth, such as GDP, have some limitations to indicate the distribution of wealth because they do not consider variables that include the well-being of the population.

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 interest expense will be included in the first annual payment

Answers

Answer:

Interest expense = $20,000

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  

Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)

Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year

DATA

Interest rate = 8%

Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000

Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000

Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 (this  is not required but to explain the concept)

Interest expense = $20,000

In the Vaughn Manufacturing, indirect labor is budgeted for $108000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $36000 at normal capacity of 160000 direct labor hours. If 170000 direct labor hours are worked, flexible budget total for these costs is:

Answers

Answer:Flexible budget =$ 150,750

Explanation:

Variable overhead rate = $108,000 / 160000 = $ 0.675 per hour

(budgeted supervision cost) Fixed overhead = $ 36,000

Flexible budget =  Variable over head rate x  direct labour  + budgeted supervision cost (fixed overhead)

                        0.675 x 170,000+ 36,000

                      = 114,750+36,000

                         =$ 150,750
