Suppose that Boeing and Rolls-Royce Holdings are the sole producers of a particular turbo engine. The two firms currently charge the same price for their products. If neither firm reduces the price of its turbo engine, each firm earns $50 million in profit. If both firms reduce their prices, then each firm will earn $10 million in profit. If one firm reduces its price and the other does not, then the firm that reduces price will earn a profit of $70 million while the other firm will earn a profit of $5 million. If the firms can operate as a cartel, what will they do
Answer:
The two firms will manipulate the market in unison, to maintain the same price, which guarantees the optimum benefit for both firms, as opposed to if one or both of them reduces its price.
Explanation:
A cartel is a group of independent market participants that collude with each other in order to improve their profits and dominate the market. Cartels are usually in the same line of business, and they form a type of alliance as competitors. Cartel use price fixing, bid rigging, and reductions in output, to dominate the market and to maximize their profit. They are usually frowned upon in a free market system.
In this case, if the the two firms Boeing and Rolls-Royce operates as a cartel, they will bend the market rules by fixing their prices, instead of letting market drivers like demand and supply to determine their selling price, they might also reduce their output so that they both have the same level of output, or do any other form of manipulation in unison to maintain the same price. This is because both companies will benefit equally if they maintain the same price, as opposed to if one or both of them reduces price.
Duff Inc. paid a 2.69 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 3 percent rate and the required rate of return is 5 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?
Answer:
$155.92
Explanation:
Div₀ = $2.69
Div₁ = $2.7707
Div₂ = $2.8538
Div₃ = $2.9394
Div₄ = $3.0276
Div₅ = $3.1184
we need to calculate the stocks terminal value in year 4, and to do that we will use Div₅ and the growing perpetuity formula:
stock price = $3.1184 / (5% - 3%) = $155.92
if we wanted to calculate the current stock price we would use Div₁ in the same formula.
Platen purchased inventory on August 17 and received an invoice with a list price amount of $5,900 and payment terms of 4/10, n/30. Platen uses the net method to record purchases. For what amount should Platen record the purchase
Answer:
$5,664
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount that Platen should record the purchase.

List price -(Percentage of payment term × list price)
Let plug in the formula
$5,900 -(4%×5,900 )
=$5,900-$236
=$5,664
Therefore Platen should record the purchase on August 17 as a:
Debit to Purchases (periodic system) and a Credit to Accounts Payable for $5,664
Therefore the amount that Platen should record the purchase will be $5,664

Peterson Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,400,000 for indirect labor and $850,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. If 85,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $50 per machine-hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead costs= $3,400,000 for indirect labor
Estimated overhead costs= $850,000 for factory utilities.
85,000 machine hours are planned for this next year
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (3,400,000 + 850,000) / 85,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $50 per machine-hour
A classic statement regarding project termination and closeout is, "The termination of a project is:
a. A project.
b. The start of the next project.
c. Never ending.
d. An opportunity.
Answer: a project
Explanation:
A classic statement regarding project termination and closeout is that the termination of a project is a project. This is because during the project termination stage, many other things are still being done. Project termination stage in a project occurs after the completion of the implementation phase whereby the project deliverables have been given to the client.
The main purpose this stage is to know how well the project team has performed, and also to learn lessons for future purpose. During the project termination and closeout, a final project status report will be prepared and every significant variances has to be explained here after which a project review will be done with the stakeholders and the client. So, the project termination and closeout phase is actually another work on its own.

Indicate whether each of the statements below about a perfectly competitive market is true or false. a. In general, the market demand curve in a perfectly competitive market is perfectly elastic. False True b. In general, an individual firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a perfectly elastic demand curve. True False c. An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market can obtain a higher price for its product by reducing output. True False d. An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market must lower its price to sell more of its product. True False f. In a perfectly competitive market, average revenue is equal to the market price. False True e. In a perfectly competitive market, marginal revenue is equal to the market price. False True
Answer:
A. False
B. True
C. False
D. False
E. True
F. True
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
If a seller increases her price, her demand would fall to zero because customers woild patronize other suppliers. Also, there is no incentive to reduce price because the firm would be making a loss. This is the reason why the firm's demand curve is perfectly elastic, the firm can only sell at one price. This price is set by the market forces.
The market's demand curve is downward sloping
Price = average revenue = Marginal revenue
I hope my answer helps you
In general, the market demand curve in a perfectly competitive market is perfectly elastic.
A. FalseIn general, an individual firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a perfectly elastic demand curve.

Therefore that in that case Anthony started a sole propietorship

Cotton On Ltd. currently has the following capital structure: Debt: $3,500,000 par value of outstanding bond that pays annually 10% coupon rate with an annual before-tax yield to maturity of 12%. The bond issue has face value of $1,000 and will mature in 20 years.
Answer and Explanation:
This question is incomplete. Kindly find the incomplete question here
Ordinary shares: $5,500,000 book value of outstanding ordinary shares. Nominal value of each share is $100. The firm plan just paid a $8.50 dividend per share. The firm is maintaining 4% annual growth rate in dividends, which is expected to continue indefinitely.
Preferred shares: 45,000 outstanding preferred shares with face value of $100, paying fixed dividend rate of 12%
The firm's marginal tax rate is 30%.
Required:
a) Calculate the current price of the corporate bond?
b)Calculate the current price of the ordinary share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 9%?
c) Calculate the current price of the preferred share if the average return of the shares in the same industry is 10%
The computation is shown below:
a. For the current price of the corporate bond
Before that first we have to determine the after tax yield to maturity i.e
After tax YTM = Before tax YTM × (1 - tax rate)
= 12% × ( 1 - 30%)
= 12% × (1 - 0.3)
= 12% × (0.7)
= 8.4%
Now
Price of bond = Interest × PVIFA(YTM%,n) + Redemption value × PVIF(YTM%,n)
Interest = 1000 × 10% = $100
YTM% = 8.4%
n = 20
PVIFA(YTM%,n) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + r)^n ÷ r ]
PVIFA(8.4%,20) = [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20 ÷ 8.4%]
= [1 - (1 ÷ (1 + 0.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]
= [1-(1 ÷ (1.084)^20 ÷ 0.084]
= [1 - 0.1993 ÷ 0.084]
= 0.8007 ÷ 0.084
= 9.5327
PVIF(8.4%,20) = 1 ÷ (1 + 8.4%)^20
= 1 ÷ (1.084)^20
= 0.19926
So, the price of bond is
= $100 × 9.5327 + $1000 × 0.19926
= $953.27 + $199.26
= $1,152.52
b)Price of stock = Dividend of next year ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate )
where,
Growth rate = 4%
Required rate of return = 9%
The Dividend of next year = Dividend paid × (1 + growth rate)
= 8.50 × (1 + 4%)
= 8.50 × (1 + 0.04)
= 8.50 × (1.04)
= $8.84
Thus the price of the stock is
= $8.84 ÷ (9% - 4%)
= $8.84 ÷ 5%
= $176.80
c) Price of preference shares is
= Dividend ÷ Required rate of return
where,
Dividend = 100 × 12% = $12
And, the Required rate of return = 10%
So, the price of preference shares is
= 12 ÷ 10%
= $120

Answer: Zoe’s maximum willingness to pay for the insurance is $50
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Zoe, who is risk averse, bought flight cancellation insurance which will cover the cost of her non-refundable $500 airline ticket if she is unable to travel due to illness wnd also that Zoe faces a 10 percent probability of becoming ill and then using the insurance.
The expected value of the insurance will be the cost of the airline ticket multiplied by the probability of her becoming ill. This will be:
= $500 × 10%
= $500 × 0.1
= $50
Based on the calculation, it can be concluded that Zoe’s maximum willingness to pay for the insurance is $50.

After calculating, the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is approximately 1.395.
To determine the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate, we need to use the information given:
The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is based on direct labor cost. The budget for the year states that the direct labor cost is expected to be $251,000, and the manufacturing overhead costs are expected to be $350,300.
To find the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate:
Predetermined Manufacturing Overhead Rate = Manufacturing Overhead Costs / Direct Labor Cost
Predetermined Manufacturing Overhead Rate = $350,300 / $251,000
Predetermined Manufacturing Overhead Rate ≈ 1.395
Therefore, the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is approximately 1.395.

In a safety stock problem where both demand and lead time are variable, demand averages 200 units per day with a daily standard deviation of 25, and lead time averages 5 days with a standard deviation of 2 days. How much safety stock is required for a 90% service level?
Answer:
517 safety stock is required for a 90% service level
Explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount of safety stock required for a 90% service level.
From the question, we can identify the following;
Demand d = 200 units per day
Daily standard deviation = 25
Lead time average = 5 days
Standard deviation of lead time = 2 days
Amount of safety stock = 90%
The z-score for 90%(0.9) confidence interval = 1.28
Mathematically;
Safety stock SS = z × [tex]\sqrt{} \s[/tex](Daily standard deviation)^2(Lead Time) + (standard deviation of lead time)^2(demand)^2
Plugging the values into the equation above, we have;
Safety stock SS = √(25)^2(5) + (2)^2(200)^2
Safety stock SS = 1.28 × √3125 + 160,000
SS = 1.28 × √163,125 = 1.28 × 403.89 = 516.98 which is approximately 517
Suppose that in the rice market demand shifts greatly due to a new rice diet that is being marketed heavily in the U.S. as a cure for cancer. Simultaneously the supply curve shifts slightly due to a healthy rainy season that positively affects the rice crop in California. What is the most likely outcome in this situation?
Answer:
the equilibrium price increases, albeit by a negligible amount
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
the supply curve will shift again after demand meets supply
the equilibrium price increases
the equilibrium price increases, albeit by a negligible amount
the demand curve will shift back to its original level
The new rice diet that is being marketed heavily in the U.S. as a cure for cancer would increase the demand for rice. This would shift the demand curve rightward. This shift of the demand curve would increase demand and price
The hw healthy rainy season that positively affects the rice crop in California woild increase the supply of rice and as a result the supply curve would shift to the right. The rightward shift of the supply curve would cause quantity to rise and price to fall.
This combined effect would lead to a rise in quantity and a rise in price by only a negligible amount.

Giving the following information:
The marketing manager believes that increasing advertising costs by $74,000 in 2020 will increase the company’s sales volume to 12,700 units.
We weren't provided with enough information to solve the requirement. But, I will provide the general structure:
Sales= (number of units*selling price per unit)=
Total variable cost= (total variable cost per unit*number of units)=
Contribution margin=
Fixed costs= (fixed costs + incremental fixed costs)=
Net operating income
If we want to determine the effect on income without an income statement:
Effect of income= incremental units*contribution margin - incremental fixed costs
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
