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
If an American firm opens a production facility in India, the total value of the production will be included in the national income of the United States. consumption of fixed capital for India. gross domestic product of India. gross domestic product of the United States.

Home Bepot Inc. has a cost of equity of 11.3 percent. The company has an aftertax cost of debt of 4.9 percent, and the tax rate is 40 percent. If the company's debt–equity ratio is .73, what is the weighted average cost of capital?
Answer: 8.60%
Explanation:
Weighted Average cost of capital = (Cost of equity * Weight of equity) + (After tax cost of debt * Weight of debt)
Weight of debt = Debt-equity ratio / (1 + Debt-equity ratio)
= 73% / (1 + 73%)
= 42.1965%
Weight of Equity = 1 / (1 + Debt - equity ratio)
= 1 / 1.73
= 57.8035%
WACC = (11.3% * 57.8035%) + (4.9% * 42.1965%)
= 8.60%
MacGyver Company bought equipment on January 3, 20X1, for $34,100. At the time of purchase, the equipment was estimated to have a useful life of 6 years and a salvage value of $620. Using the straight-line method, the amount of one year's depreciation is
Answer:
$5,580
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation for each and every year the asset is in use in the business.
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage Amount) ÷ Estimated useful life
therefore,
Depreciation expense = ($34,100 - $620) ÷ 6
= $5,580
Using the straight-line method, the amount of one year's depreciation is $5,580.

Crane Company has 900 shares of 4%, $100 par cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2018. No dividends have been paid on this stock for 2017 or 2018. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 totala) $400.b) $3600.c) $7200.d) $0.
Answer:
c) $7200
Explanation:
Preference dividends have preference when it comes to payment of dividends.
This means that we pay the Preference Stock holders their dividend (which is fixed) and there after the remainder is paid up to the Common Stockholders
Preference dividend = 900 shares x $100 x 4 % = $3600
When Preference Stock is Cumulative, it means that all previous dividends in arrears have to be paid up before any current year distributions are made.
2018
Cumulative Preference dividend = $3600 (2017) + $3600 (2018) = $7200
therefore,
Dividends in arrears at December 31, 2018 total $7200
In the fall of 2008, AIG, the largest insurance company in the world at the time, was at risk of defaulting due to the severity of the global financial crisis. As a result, the U.S. government stepped in to support AIG with large capital injections and an ownership stake. How would this affect, if at all, the yield and risk premium on AIG corporate debt before and after U.S. Government support
• Initially default risk increases, yield increases, price of AIG decreases
• After government intervention, default decreases, yield decreases, price of AIG increases

Waterway Industries Recorded operating data for its Cheap division for the year. Waterway requires its return to be 10%. Sales $1600000 Controllable margin 88000 Total average assets 4400000 Fixed costs 100000 What is the ROI for the year
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information, first we need to get the value of contribution margin , which is computed as;
Controllable margin = Contribution margin - Total direct fixed cost
$88,000 = Contribution margin - $100,000
Contribution margin = $88,000 + $100,000
Contribution margin = $188,000
Also,
Net income = Contribution margin - Total fixed expense
Net income = $188,000 - $100,000
Net income = $88,000
Return on investment = Net income ÷ Average operating assets
Return on investment = $88,000 ÷ $4,400,000
Return on investment = 2%
Therefore, the ROI for the year is 2%

Mary runs over a deer with her car. The ACV of her vehicle is $7,250. To repair the damages caused in the accident, it will cost $4,375. What will the insurer likely pay Mary for this claim, assuming that her COLLISION deductible is $500, and her OTHER THAN COLLISION deductible is $200
Answer: $4175
Explanation:
The Other Than Collision coverage is the payment to repair a vehicle when the damage caused isn't when one collides with another vehicle.
In this case, since Mary runs over a deer with her car, we'll deduct the other than collision deductible from her cost of the repair and this will be:
= $4375 - $200
= $4175
The insurer will pay Mary $4175

17. Calculating Future Values Streamsong Credit Bank is offering 4.7 percent compounded daily on its savings accounts. If you deposit $4,750 today, how much will you have in the account in 5 years
Answer:
Future value = $5912.87
Explanation:
Below is the calculation:
Interest rate = 4.7%
Present value of deposit = $4750
Time period, n = 5 years
Future value = Present value ( 1 + interest rate)^n
Future value = 4750 ( 1 + (4.7%/365)^5*365
Future value = 4750 (1 + 0.00012)^1825
Future value = $5912.87
Analysts expect Placer Corp. to pay shareholders $2.25 per share annually for the next five years. After that, the dividend will be $3.50 annually forever. Given a discount rate of 12%, what is the value of the stock today
Answer:
$24.66
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the value of the stock today
First step is to calculate the PVP
PVP = $3.50 / .12
PVP= $29.17
Second step is to calculate the PV
PV = $29.17 / 1.125
PV= $16.55
Third step is to calculate the PVA
PVA = $2.25 {[1 - (1 / 1.125)] / .12}
PVA= $8.11
Now let calculate the value of the stock today
Using this formula
Price=PV+PVA
Let plug in the formula
Price = $16.55 + 8.11
Price= $24.66
Therefore the value of the stock today is $24.66

The market for the fast car with so much horsepower that handling becomes an issue is decreasing. People are more interested in buying SUVs and pickups. As a result, General Motors is stopping production of its Camaro, a car that has had limited sales recently. Since the Camaro can no longer generate enough cash to sustain its manufacture, the BCG portfolio would classify it as a:
Answer:
Dog.
Explanation:
In 1970, Bruce D. Henderson developed and created a growth-share matrix for the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) growth-share matrix is a tool used for analyzing and planning product lines in a business unit. It makes use of a graphical representation of a company's product line and services to analyze and make long-term strategic plans on which to invest more on or sell off.
Generally, products are divided into four (4) main categories in the BCG growth-share matrix;
1. Dogs.
2. Stars.
3. Question marks.
4. Cash cows.
A dog refers to a product or business unit that has a very low growth rate or market share and as such generates insufficient amount of revenues.
In this scenario, Camaro isn't able to generate sufficient (enough) cash to sustain its manufacturing or production process, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) portfolio would classify it as a dog.
Charleston Inc. acquired 75% of Savannah Manufacturing on January 4, 2020. During 2020, Charleston sold Savannah $460,000 of goods, which had cost $380,000. Savannah still owned 20% of the goods at the end of the year. In 2021, Charleston sold goods with a cost of $520,000 to Savannah for $700,000, and Savannah still owned 15% of the goods at year-end. What amount of intra-entity gross profit should be deferred in 2021
Answer:
Amount of profit to be deferred = $27,000Explanation:
The intra-entity gross profit that needs to be deferred can be calculated as follows:
In 2021:
The amount of price on goods sold = $700,000
The actual cost price = $520,000
Less: $180,000
Amount of profit to be deferred = Profit × percentage of goods at the year-end (2021)
Amount of profit to be deferred = $180,000 × 15%
Amount of profit to be deferred = $27,000ow do each of the following events change the demand for or supply of jeans? A. The price of a denim skirt halves . B. People’s incomes increase . C. Upper A new technology becomes available that reduces the time it takes to manufacture a pair of jeans . D. The price of the cloth (denim )used to make jeans rises . E. Jeans go out of fashion . F. The price of a pair of jeans rises . G. The wage rate paid to garment workers falls . H. More specialty shops start to sell jeans .
Answer:
1. the quantity demanded of jeans increases
the quantity supplied of jeans decreases
2. the demand for jeans increases
3. the supply of jeans increases
4. the supply of jeans reduces
5. the demand for jeans falls
6. the quantity demanded of jeans decreases
the quantity supplied of jeans increases
7. the supply of jeans increases
8, the supply of jeans increases
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve (demand curve) for that good. If price increases, there is a movement up along the supply curve and if prices decreases, there is a movement down along the supply curve. This is in line with the law of supply.
according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.
Other factors other than changes in the price of the good leads to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :
A change in the number of suppliers
a change in the price of substitute goods
A change in the price of factors used in the production process
government regulation
If price increases, there is a movement down along the demand curve and if prices decreases, there is a movement up along the demand curve. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Other factors lead to a shift of the demand curve. they include :
change in taste of the consumerchange in consumer's income season change in the price of substitutesA. the price of denim halves. there would be a change in the quantity demanded and supplied. quantity demanded increases while quantity supplied decreases
b. An increase in income would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. demand would increase
c. As a result of new technology, supply would increase. supply curve would shift outward
d. As a result of the rise in price of denim, it because more expensive to make jeans. supply would fall.
e. If jeans goes out of fashion, consumers would no longer buy jeans. the demand would fall
g. if wages fall, it becomes cheaper to make jeans, thus the supply increases
A man wants to help provide a college education for his young daughter. He can afford to invest $1500/yr for the next 5 years, beginning on the girl 's 5th birthday. He wishes to give his daughter $10,000 on her 18th, 19th , 20th, and 21 st birthdays, for a total of $40,000. Assuming 6% interest, what uniform annual investment will he have to make on the girl's 9th through 17th birthdays?
Answer:
$1,919.69
Explanation:
when the daughter is 9 years old, total savings = $1,500 x 5.6371 (FVIFA, 6%, 5 periods) = $8,455.65
first 5 payments:
birthdays = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
the present value of the $40,000 that he needs for her daughter's college = $10,000 x 3.4651 (PVIFA, 6%, 4 periods) = $34,651
the FV until the 17th birthday = $8,455.65 x 1.06⁸ = $15,650.82
he needs to save = $34,651 - $15,650.82 = $19,000.18
value of annual deposits = $19,000.18 / 9.8975 (FVIFA, 6%, 8 peridos) = $1,919.69
Slipper Company sold a productive asset, a machine, for cash. It originally cost Slipper $29,000. The accumulated depreciation at the date of disposal was $24,000. A gain on the disposal of $2,900 was reported. What was the asset's selling price
Answer:
$7,900 = selling price
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Original cost= $29,000
Accumulated depreciation= $24,000
Gain= $2,900
First, we will determine the book value:
Book value= original cost - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 29,000 - 24,000 = $5,000
Now, the selling price:
Gain/loss= selling price - book value
2,900= selling price - 5,000
$7,900 = selling price
During the previous year, Leveraged Inc. paid $100 million of interest expense, and its average rate of interest for the year was 8%. The company's ROE is 18.4%, and it pays no dividends. Estimate next year's interest expense assuming that interest rates will fall by 34% and the company keeps a constant equity multiplier, Calculate next year's estimated interest expense
Answer:
$67214400
Explanation:
Average rate of interest = 8% = 0.08
Amount paid by leveraged Inc ( previous year ) = $100 million
Growth rate retention = 1 ( since company pays no dividend )
ROE = 18.4% = 0.184
Determine next year's estimated interest expense
Given that Interest rates will fall by 34%
interest expenses = $100,000,000
estimated Interest rate = 0.34
First step : calculate total debt
= interest expense / interest rate
= 100,000,000 / 0.08 = $1,250,000,000
next determine the growth rate
= ROE * growth rate retention = 0.184 * 1 = 0.184
next determine next year's debt
= Total debt * ( 1 + 0.184 )
= 1,250,000,000 * 1.0184 = $1,273,000,000
next determine Interest rate for next year
= interest rate - ( Interest rate * estimated interest rate )
= 0.08 - ( 0.34 * 0.08 ) = 0.0528 = 5.28%
Finally determine next year's estimated interest expense
= 5.28% * $1,273,000,000
= 0.0528 * 1,273,000,000 = $67214400
Hart Attorney at Law experienced the follwoing transactions in 2016, the first year of operations:
1. Accepted $36,000 on 4/1/16, as a retainer for services to be performed evenly over the next 12 months
(2) Performed legal services for cash of $54,000
(3) Purchased $2,800 of office suppies on account
(4) Paid $2,400 of the amount due on accounts payable
(5) Paid a cahs dividend to the stockholders of $5,000
(6) Paid cash for operationg expenses of $31,000
(7) Determined that at the end of the accounting period $200 of office supplies remained on hand
(8) On 12/31/16, recognized the revenue that had been earned for services performed in accordance with Transaction 1
Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.
Answer:
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.
The following calculations are made in the attached excel:
For Event 7, we have:
Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600
For Event 8, we have:
Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000
Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:
Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800
Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400
Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400
Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800
The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:
Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
b. b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 12% rate of return on its investments.
Required:
Compute the net present value of each potential investment.
Answer:
a. Net present value = $539,013.67
b. Net present value = $273,361.47
Explanation:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $616,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $180,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $40,000.
Annual depreciation = (Expected machine cost – Predicted salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($616,000 - $40,000) / 6 = $96,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $180,000 + $96,000 = $276,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $276,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^6) / 0.12) = $276,000 * 4.11140732352233 = $1,134,748.42
Present value of predicted salvage value = Predicted salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $40,000 / (1 + 0.12)^6 = $20,265.24
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of predicted salvage value - Expected machine cost) = $1,134,748.42 + $20,265.24 - $616,000 = $539,013.67
b. A machine costs $440,000, has a $32,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $90,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Annual depreciation = (Machine cost – Salvage value) / Number of useful life = ($440,000 - $32,000) / 8 = $51,000
Annual cash inflows = Annual incremental after-tax income + annual depreciation = $90,000 + $51,000 = $141,000
Present value of the annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * ((1 - [1 / (1 + required rate of return)]^Number of years) / required rate of return) = $141,000 * ((1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^8) / 0.12) = $141,000 * 4.96763976683859 = $700,437.21
Present value of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + required rate of return)^Number of years = $32,000 / (1 + 0.12)^8 = $12,924.26
Net present value = Present value of the annual cash inflow + Present value of salvage value - Machine cost) = $700,437.21 + $12,924.26 - $440,000 = $273,361.47
