Answer:
MVA = (Shares outstanding * Stock price) - Total common equity
Explanation:
Market value added is the excess of equity over its book value. It is the difference between money invested by stockholders and the cash they will receive if the company is sold. The higher MVA of a company means performance of the company management is good and is in the favor of stockholders.

A client believes that XYZZY stock has topped out in price and is ready for a steep drop. What recommendation would give the customer the smallest profit if this occurs
Answer: Buy XYZZ stock and sell an XYZZ call
Explanation:
Since the buyer seems convinced that XYZZ stock has bottomed its price, he should purchase the stock since it has gotten to its cheapest Point.
And since he believes that XYZZ's price would rebound soon, He should exercise a little patience and not sell at a call option for XYZZ. Because if he attempts to sell at a call option then his earnings becomes very limited, since the price set at the call option would be very low.
My best advice would be for him to hold on to XYZZ stock for a while and allow for its price to rebound.

In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper _______ can help to resolve conflicts when they arise
Answer:
Objectives
Explanation:
Generally, organizations are required to set short or medium-term objectives to ensure there's an effective customer relationships management, improve worker's efficiency or productivity and more importantly to increase their revenues and profits. These objectives are usually drafted by the executive or top management of an organization and it's mandatory that all the employees are diligently working towards achieving this set goals.
In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper objectives can help to resolve conflicts when they arise.
For instance, the sales department in a bid to meet daily or monthly targets may result to unauthorized marketing channels and procedures which may be in contrast to the objectives of the human resources department.
With proper objectives such as policies and guidelines, conflicts of goals would be mitigated as various departments would ensure their activities are in tandem with the overall company goals. This can be easily achieved by appointing functional managers who have an oversight function of supervising the employees in their departments at all times.

One way in which monopolistic competition differs from oligopoly is there are no barriers to entry in oligopolies.Immersive Reader
Answer:
The statement is false.
Explanation:
Oligopoly is a market situation where the market of a given good or service is dominated by a few strong, powerful providers. It could be described as a mix between monopoly and perfect competition, where there are several players in the market, but not so many that they can not influence the market price, and in which those providers are strong enough to establish a monopoly if they could. Examples of oligopoly markets are the market for cars and oil, among others, in which there are few but powerful enterprises in the market.
In oligopolies there are almost as many barriers as in monopolies: although there is competition between companies, for a new company it is almost impossible to enter the market since prices, quality and customers are retained by companies already established in the market.
Western Electric has 31,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $77 and a rate of return of 13.10 percent. The firm has 7,200 shares of 7.60 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $94.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $398,000 and currently sells for 110 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.02 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 39 percent
Answer:
Weighted average cost of capital = 11.10%
Explanation:
Market value of common stock = $31,000 * 77 = $2,387,000
Market value of preferred shares = $7,200 * 94 = 676,800
Market value of debt = $398,000 * 110% = 437,800
Total market value = Market value of common stock + Market value of preferred shares + Market value of debt
= 2,387,000 + 676,800 + 437,800
= 3,501,600
Weight of common stock = Market value of common stock / Total market value
= $2,387,000 / $3,501,600
= 0.6817
Weight of debt = Market value of preferred shares / Total market value
=437,800 / 3,501,600
= 0.1250
Weight of preferred stock = Market value of debt / Total market value
= 676,800 / 3,501,600
= 0.1933
Preferred dividend = 7.6% of 100 = 7.6
Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred dividend / price) * 100
Cost of preferred stock = (7.6 / 94) * 100
Cost of preferred stock = 8.0851%
Weighted average cost of capital = (Weight of equity *cost of equity) + (Weight of preferred stock * cost of preferred stock) + (Weight of debt * after tax cost of deb t)
Weighted average cost of capital = (0.6817 * 13.10%) + (0.1933 * 0.080851) + (0.1250 *0.0802*(1 - 0.39)
Weighted average cost of capital = 0.089303 + 0.015628 + 0.006115
Weighted average cost of capital = 0.1110
Weighted average cost of capital = 11.10%
Cainas Cookies purchased a commercial oven on 1/1/14 for a total cost of 35,000. Estimated useful life is 6 years, with a salvage value of 5,000 at the end of that time. Cainas estimates that the equipment will be used for 12,000 baking hours. For the first year of operations, Cainas had 2,500 backing hours. For the second year Cainas had 1,700 hours. Compute the depreciation for YEAR 2. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Units of production = $4250
Straight line depreciation expense = $5,000
Double declining method = $7.777
Explanation:
The depreciation method to he used wasn't stated, so I calculated the depreciation expense using 3 depreciation methods
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(35,000 - 5,000) / 6 = $5,000
The depreciation expense each year would be $5000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
2 / 6 = 0.3333
Deprecation expense in year 1 = 0.3333 x $35,000 = $11,666.67
Book value = $35,000 - $11,666.67 = $23,333.33
Depreciation expense in year 2 = $23,333.33 × 0.3333 = $7.777
Depreciation expense using units of production = ( hours used in year / total estimated hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1,700 / 12,000) x (35,000 - 5,000) = $4250
I hope my answer helps you
The Cainas Cookies' depreciation expense for year 2 is C. $4,250.
The correct choice of answer is not A. $7,292 , B. $6,250 , or D. $4,598.
Data and Calculations:
Cost of commercial oven = $35,000
Salvage value = $5,000
Depreciable amount = $30,000 ($35,000 - $5,000)
Estimated useful life = 12,000 baking hours
Depreciation rate per baking hour = $2.50 ($30,000/12,000)
Depreciation expense for Year 2 = $4,250 ($2.50 x 1,700)
Thus, the depreciation expense for year 2 is $4,250.

A North Face retail store in Chicago sells 500 jackets each month. Each jacket costs the store $100 and the company has an annual holding cost of 25 percent. The fixed cost of a replenishment order (including transportation cost) is $100. The store currently places a replenishment order for Q.
1. What is the annual holding and ordering cost?
2. On average, how long does a jacket spend in inventory?
3. If the retail store wants to minimize ordering and holding cost, what order size do you recommend?
4. How much would the optimal order reduce holding and ordering cost relative to the current policy?
Answer:
(1) The annual holding cost is =$6250, The ordering costs is = 500 units
(2) The total cost is = $7450
(3)224 unit
(4) $1,864.30
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The annual demand = 520 units * 12
= 6,240 units
The cost per order = $100 per order
The Carrying Cost = 0.25% * $100
= 25 per unit per year
Thus
(1) The Ordering quantity = 500 units every month
The annual holding cost =0.5*quantity ordered*holding cost
The Annual Holding cost = 0.5*500*25
Annual Holding cost =$6250
(2) The ordering (Annual)cost = number of orders *cost per order
Annual ordering cost =(500*12/500)*100
Annual ordering cost =$1200
Total cost = 6250+1200=7450
(3)Thus
EOQ=(2*D*S/h)^0.5
EOQ=(2*6240*100/25^)0.5
EOQ=223.43
=224 unit
(4)The ordering cost =(6240/224)*100=2785.70
Holding cost=0.5*224*25
=2800
Total cost= 2785.70+2800
Total cost=5585.70
Total savings = 7450 - 5585.70
= $1,864.30
"Suppose a firm wants to take advantage of an upward-sloping yield curve. If the firm believes that interest rates will stay constant and it wants to use the current yield curve to bolster profits, which approach should the firm follow?"a. Conservative approach b. Aggressive approach c. Maturity matching approach
Answer: b. Aggressive approach
Explanation:
The Aggressive approach refers to using short term finance to finance temporary working capital and some of permanent working capital.
When facing an upward sloping yield curve which means that interest rates are expected to.rise in future, it is better to use the current rates to bolster profit. By engaging in an Aggressive approach, the company can borrow now to fund their operations as the Aggressive approach involves using short term financing to cater for working capital. This will keep interest costs at a minimum because they will.not be calculated based on the impending increase in interest rates but rather on current short term rates.
If the ending inventory of a firm is overstated by $50,000, by how much and in what direction (overstated or understated) will the firm's operating income be misstated? (Hint: Use the cost of goods sold model, enter hypothetically "correct" data, and then reflect the effects of the ending inventory error and determine the effect on cost of goods sold.)
Answer:
50,000 overstated.
Explanation:
As the ending inventory is overstated by 50,000 we can conclude the implications using the inventory identity:
Beginning + Purchase = COGS + Ending
As the left side will be the correct display they will have no error.
Therefore the COGS will compensate the mistake in the ending ivnentory
0 = COGS + 50,000
COGS = -50,000
The COGS are 50,000 lower than it should be therefore the gross profit is overstated as
Sales - COGS = Gross Profit
0 - (-50,000) = Gross Profit
+ 50,000 = Gross Profit
This also makes the operating income which, derives from gross profit to be overstated as well.

In the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task. true or false?
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The statement that says that in the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task is false because the effort is the time a person needs to finish a task while the duration is the period of time that a person has to finish it. For example, an employee has a task that takes forty hours of work to finish it but he has a month to do it. In this case, the effort is forty hours but the task duration is one month.
Louie Company has a defined benefit pension plan. On December 31 (the end of the fiscal year), the company received the PBO report from the actuary. The following information was included in the report: ending PBO, $112,000; benefits paid to retirees, $10,000; interest cost, $7,500. The discount rate applied by the actuary was 10%. What was the service cost for the year
Answer: $39,500
Explanation:
Service Cost for the year = Ending PBO - Opening PBO - Interest cost + Benefits paid
Opening PBO
Opening PBO is the amount that the interest was charged on.
Discount rate of 10% came out to be $7,500.
The opening balance = 7,500/10%
= $75,000
Service Cost = 112,000 - 75,000 - 7,500 + 10,000
Service Cost for the year = $39,500
Skolits Corp. issued 15-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 7.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 103 percent of par value, what is the YTM?
Answer:
6.94%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate function found below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the coupons that bond has left to pay i.e 26 semiannual coupons in 13 years
pmt is the semiannual coupon amount i.e $1000*7.3%*6/12=36.5
pv is the current market price i.e 103%*$1000=$1030
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(26,36.5,-1030,1000)=3.47%
semiannual yield =3.47%
annual yield =3.47% *2=6.94%

When deleting a check all of the following is true except: Multiple Choice It is better to delete the check than void the check in order to erase all records of the transaction The deleted check no longer appears in the check register QuickBooks changes the amount deducted in the check register to zero All of the choices are correct
Answer: It is better to delete the check than void the check in order to erase all records of the transaction
Explanation:
When a check is deleted, it should be noted that such check is being removed entirely from the system and also the transaction of the check will no longer be visible anywhere in the system.
Voiding a check mean that the amount of the transaction on the check will be changed to zero but it should be ited that a record of such transaction will still be kept in QuickBooks but deleting it will help remove the transaction in QuickBooks.
When a check is voided, the check details like the check number, account, payee, memo and date will be unchanged, even though the amount will change to zero.
Therefore, the option that says that it is better to delete the check than void the check in order to erase all records of the transaction isn't true.
The Jewel Golf Club Company, which recently began using a kanban system, has had problems with high inventory levels of one of the handle grips used to make several versions of its clubs. Daily demand for the grip is 3000 units, average waiting time during production is 0.20 day, processing time is 0.10 day per container, and a container holds 150 grips.Use the information in Case 6.2. How many Kanban containers would Jewel require if a 10% policy variable is used? a. three or fewer b. four or five c. five or six d. six or seven
Answer:
d. six or seven
Explanation:
Given that:
Daily demand for the grip = 3000 units
average waiting time = 0.20 day
processing time = 0.10 day / container
a container holds = 150 grips
percentage of policy used = 10% = 0.10
The objective of this question is to determine the amount of Kanban containers would Jewel require.
the amount of Kanban containers = Demand ( wasting time + processing time)(1+percentage policy)/ amount of container holding
the amount of Kanban containers = 3000( 0.2 + 0.1) ( 1+ 0.10)/ 150
the amount of Kanban containers = 3000 ( 0.30) (1.10)/150
the amount of Kanban containers = 990/150
the amount of Kanban containers = 6.6
SO we can infer that the amount of Kanban containers would Jewel require if a 10% policy variable is used falls within the range of six or seven.

After deciding to acquire a new car, you can either lease the car or purchase it with a three-year loan. The car you want costs $38,000. The dealer has a leasing arrangement where you pay $105 today and $505 per month for the next three years. If you purchase the car, you will pay it off in monthly payments over the next three years at an APR of 6 percent. You believe that you will be able to sell the car for $26,000 in three years. a. What is the present value of leasing the car
Answer:
The present value of leasing the car is $16,704.86 and the break even sale price is $25483.48.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
The monthly rate =0.06/12 =(6%/12)
the number of period = 3 * 12 =23
Now
The present value of leasing the car is computed below:
Payment day =$105
add: Present value of future monthly payment = 505 * (1-(1+(0.06/12))^-36/(0.06/12)
= 166,599,86
Present value of the car =$105 +$166,599,86
=$16,704.86
Thus
The present value of purchasing the car:
Purchase cost = $38,000
Less: present value of resale = 26000/(1+(0.06/12))^-36
=21,726.77
Present value of purchasing the car is $38,000 + $21,726.77
=$16,273.23
Now
The break even sale price
Let the resale price be x
38000 -(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 =16704.86
(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 = 38000 - 16704.86
(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 = 21295.14
x = ((1+(0.06/12))^-36 * 212954.14
x = 25483.48
Therefore the present value of leasing the car is $16,704.86 and the break even sale price is $25483.48
What will a bond be worth on the day it matures? Group of answer choices $0 $100 its face value (plus remaining coupon, if applicable) its remaining coupon, if applicable
Answer: Its face value (plus remaining coupon
Explanation:
On the day a bond matures it is to be paid back to the investors therefore it will be at it's face value to reflect the amount owed to investors. The last coupon may still have to be paid so it also be added to the bond on this date.
For example, if a bond is issued at $100 face value and will.mature in 5 years but is currently trading at $95, at the end of the 5th year it will be trading at $100 because that it what the Issuer of the bond will pay back.
All of the following statements regarding stock dividends are true except : A. Stock dividends provide evidence of management's confidence that the company is doing well. B. Directors can use stock dividends to keep the market price of the stock affordable. C. Stock dividends decrease the number of shares outstanding. D. Stock dividends do not reduce assets or equity. E. Stock dividends transfer a portion of equity from retained earnings to contributed capital.
Answer: Stock dividends decrease the number of shares outstanding.
Explanation:
A stock dividend does not affect the total equity, but rather the transfer amounts that exists between the components of the equity.
Stock dividends also shows evidence of the confidence of the management that the company is doing well and that the directors can use it to keep market price of stock affordable.
The option that Stock dividends decrease the number of shares outstanding is not true.
"Total revenue equals the price multiplied by the quantity. The relative change price and quantity is given by the concept of ________________."
Answer:
Elasticity
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
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.
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Solis Company uses the FIFO method to compute equivalent units. It has 4,000 units in beginning work in process, 20% complete as to conversion costs and 50% complete as to materials costs, 66,000 units started, and 6,000 units in ending work in process, 30% complete as to conversion costs, and 80% complete as to materials cost. How much are the equivalent units for materials under the FIFO method
Answer:
The equivalent units for materials under the FIFO method are 68,800 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units is a measurement of number of units completed in terms of percentage of inputs of production in output inventory.
Calculation of Equivalent Units under FIFO method.
To finish Opening work in process ( 4,000 units × 50%) = 2,000
Started and Completed units (66,000 - 4,000) × 100% = 62,000
Closing Work In Process (6,000 × 80%) = 4,800
Equivalent units of Production = 68,800
Conclusion :
The equivalent units for materials under the FIFO method are 68,800 units.
If the total debt ratio is 36%, and the allowable mortgage debt ratio is 28%, which of the following debt ratios would a loan applicant qualify for if:
a. The loan applicant's gross monthly income is $2,500, with a mortgage payment of $600
b. A car payment of $250, and minimum monthly credit card payment of $75
Answer:
The loan applicant would qualify for the mortgage debt ratio in option a because his mortgage debt ratio is 24% and the allowable mortgage debt ratio is 28%.
Explanation:
First, you have to calculate the debt ratio in each case. It is calculated by dividing the total debt by the income.
a. Debt= $600
Income= $2,500
Mortgage debt ratio=600/2,500= 0.24→24%
b. Debt=$600+$250+$75=$925
Income=$2,500
Total Debt ratio=925/2,500= 0.37→37%
The loan applicant would qualify for the mortgage debt ratio because his mortgage debt ratio is 24% and the allowable mortgage debt ratio is 28%. The loan applicant would not qualify for the total debt ratio because his ratio is 37% and the allowable total debt ratio is 36%.
A seller lists property with a multimillion-dollar broker. The broker's agreement calls for him to enter the listing into the MLS within three working days. On the second day, the broker shows the property to a prospective buyer, who loves it. The buyer is leaving town the next day but will be back in one week to purchase it if it is still on the market. The broker wants to double his commission by selling his own listing, so he withholds the information from the MLS for 10 days. Based on this information, the broker ______________.
Answer: B) may be liable to the seller for violating duties required by the listing agreement.
Explanation:
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a database that allows brokers to cooperate in finding buyers for homes. They list the properties for sale and if other brokers know people who need such a house they will reach out and buy it. The listing broker and the selling broker will then share commissions.
This is what the broker was trying to avoid by withholding the information from the MLS.
However, the broker is in violation of the listing agreement which stated that he should post it on the MLS within 3 working days and as such there is a very real chance that he is liable to the seller for this violation.
