Lucy is trying to sell her CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme MSAAG1000 Gaming PC; however, none of the potential buyers is willing to pay the price Lucy desires. Lucy's friend Zeynep, an economist, thinks this might be due to a lack of information on the part of buyers. Zeynep uses the concept of __________ to explain to Lucy why she cannot sell her computer at the price she is asking

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Adverse selection

Explanation:

From the above, we can deduce that Zeynep uses the concept of adverse selection to explain to Lucy why she cannot sell her computer at the price she is asking.

Adverse selection simply refers to a situation whereby there is information failure or asymmetric information. In this situation, the seller have more information than the information that the buyers about the product and this led to the situation whereby none of the potential buyers was willing to buy the product.

Cost Driver Rate Cost Driver Volume Resources used Energy $ 0.90 per machine-hour 6,000 machine-hours Repairs $ 16.00 per job 600 jobs Resources supplied Energy $ 6,900 Repairs 12,000 Required: Compute unused resource capacity in energy and repairs for Tri-State Mill.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the unused resource capacity in energy and repairs for Tri-State Mill. is shown below;

For energy

= $6,900 - 6,000 × $0.90

= $6,900 - $5,400

= $1,500

For repairs

= $12,000 - 600 × $16

= $12,000 - $9,600

= $2,400

Hence, the unused resource capacity in energy and repairs for Tri-State Mill. is $1,500 and $2,400 respectively

Howard Enterprises, which has three departments, recently reported the following results: A B C Sales revenue $ 12,000 $ 48,000 40,000 Less: Operating costs 11,400 59,800 50,500 Operating income (loss) $ 600 $ (11,800 ) $ (10,500 ) The company incurred variable operating costs as well as $25,000 of fixed operating costs. The $25,000 amount was allocated to A, B, and C on the basis of sales revenue and is included in the cost figures noted above. Which department(s), if any, should be closed if none of the fixed operating costs can be avoided

Answers

Answer:

Department C should be closed

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making department, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.

For Howard Enterprises, the department with a negative contribution should be closed otherwise its operation would reduce the overall profit by the amount of the negative contribution.

So lets work out the contribution for each department by adding back the apportioned fixed cost. See table below

                                                           A                B                C

                                                            $                $                $             Total

Sales Revenue                               12,000      48,000        40,000    100,000

Operating cost                              11,400        59,800        50,500

Operating income                           600         (11,800)        (10,500)

*Add back apportioned fixed cost 3,000       12,000        10,000

Contribution                                   3,600        200            (500)

*Apportioned fixed cost

A- 12,000/100,000× 25,000 = 3,000

B- 48,000/100000   × 25,000 = 12,000

C- 40,000/100,00×25,000 = 10,000

From the above analysis, Department C generates a negative contribution. It implies that it can barely cover its direct cost and so will deplete the total profit by its negative contribution. Hence, it should be closed

Department C should be closed

A mining company is evaluating when to open a gold mine. The mine has 100,000 ounces of gold left that can be mined and mining operations will produce 10,000 ounces per year. The price of gold from the mine will be guaranteed for the remaining life of the mine through the gold futures contracts. If the mine is opened today, each ounce of gold will generate an after-tax cash flow (= total or net cash flow) of $1,300 per ounce. If the company waits one year, there is a 70 percent probability that the contract price will generate an after-tax cash flow of $1,550 per ounce and a 30 percent probability that the after-tax cash flow will be $1,200 per ounce. The required return on the gold mine is 15 percent and it will cost $30,000,000 to open the mine regardless of whether the mine is open today or in one year. Compute the value of the option to wait today.

Answers

Answer:

The value of the option to wait today = $2,500,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quantity of gold left in the mine = 100,000 ounces

Quantity of gold to be produced yearly = 10,000 ounces

Estimated life of mine = 10 years (100,000/10,000)

After-tax cash flow if mine is opened today = $1,300 per ounce

After-tax cash flow if mine is opened a year later:

Expected value = ($1,550 * 70%) + ($1,200 * 30%) = $1,325 per ounce

Comparison of the values of opening options:

                                                  Mine opened       Mine opened

                                                        today                 a year later

After-tax cash flow per ounce       $1,300                   $1,325

Quantity of gold in the mine       100,000                 100,000

Total after-tax cash flows  $130,000,000       $132,500,000

Cost of opening mine           30,000,000           30,000,000

Required return (15%)             4,500,000              4,500,000

Actual returns from mine $100,000,000        $102,500,000

Therefore, the value of option to wait:

Returns from mine opened next year = $102,500,000

Returns from mine opened today =          100,000,000

Value of the option to wait today =            $2,500,000

In 2013 cumulative preferred shareholders should have received a dividend of $10,000, but the company didn't pay a dividend. In 2014 the preferred shareholders should receive a distribution of $11,000. If the company pays $50,000 in 2014 of dividends how much will the preferred shareholders receive

Answers

Answer: $21,000

Explanation:

Cumulative preference shares should always get paid their dividends. If a situation arises where the company is unable to pay this dividend in a year, the dividends will be accrued until such a time as the company is able to pay.

Dividend to be received in 2014 is therefore:

= 2013 dividend that was not paid + 2014 dividend

= 10,000 + 11,000

= $21,000

Round your answers to 2 decimal places if necessary.)

Answers

Answer:

Adam Ant

Adam's taxable income is $__22,800__ his marginal tax rate is __3.66__% and his total taxes due are $ ___$1,280__

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Tax rates:

5% on the first $20,000

10% on the next $40,000

15% on all taxable income above $60,000

Standard deduction = $12,210 for single taxpayers

Standard deduction = $24,400 for married taxpayers

Adam's Gross income = $35,000

Standard deduction =       12,200

Taxable income =          $22,800

Tax due:

5% on the first              ($20,000) = $1,000

10% on the next $40,000  2,800 =      280

Total taxes due = $1,280

Marginal rate = $1,280/$35,000 * 100 = 3.66%

A company normally sells it products for $20 per unit, which includes a profit margin of 25%. However, the

selling price has fallen to $15 per unit. This company's current inventory consists 200 units purchased at $16

per unit. Replacement cost has now fallen to $13 per unit. Calculate the value of inventory at the lower of

cost or market. ​

Answers

Answer:

$2,600

Explanation:

The computation of the inventory value is shown below:

Market value = 200 units × $16

= $3,200

And, the cost is

= 200 units × $13

= $2,600

So the lower of cost or market value would be considered

Since $2,600 would be lower so the same would be equivalent to the inventory amount

Accounts receivable turnover enter the accounts receivable turnover in times rounded to 1 decimal place times The average collection period for 2022

Answers

Answer:

Accounts Receivable Turnover 8.6 times

Average collections period 42.44 days

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the average collection period for 2022 using this formula

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales/Average accounts receivables

Let plug in the formula

Accounts Receivable Turnover = 33,325 /[(3,400+4350)/2]

Accounts Receivable Turnover =33,325/(7,750/2)

Accounts Receivable Turnover =33,325/3875

Accounts Receivable Turnover = 8.6 times

Therefore the Accounts Receivable Turnover will be 8.6 times

B. Calculation to determine the Average collections period using this formula

Average collections period = 365/Accounts Receivable Turnover

Let plug in the formula

Average collections period= 365/8.6

Average collections period= 42.44 days

Therefore The Average collections period will be 42.44 days

The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas: Stock Investment Beta A $ 320,000 1.50 B 540,000 (0.50) C 1,420,000 1.25 D 1,800,000 0.75 If the market's required rate of return is 13% and the risk-free rate is 4%, what is the fund's required rate of return

Answers

Answer:

r fund = 0.11356617647  or  11.356617647%  rounded off to  11.36

Explanation:

The required rate of return on the fund can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The equation is as follows,

r fund = rRF  +  beta *  (rM - rRF)

Where,

r fund is the required rate of return of the fundrRF is the risk free raterM is the return on market

To calculate the required rate of return of the fund, we first need to calculate the fund beta. The beta on fund can be calculated using the formula for portfolio beta which is,

Portfolio Beta = wA * Beta of A  +  wB * Beta of B  +  ...  +  wN * Beta of N

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio

Portfolio or fund beta = 320000/4080000 * 1.5  +  540000/4080000 * -0.5  +  1420000/4080000 * 1.25  +  1800000/4080000 * 0.75

Portfolio or fund beta = 0.81740196078 rounded off to 0.82

The required rate of return on fund will be,

r fund =  4%  +  0.81740196078  *  (13%  -  4%)

r fund = 0.11356617647  or  11.356617647%  rounded off to  11.36

Their modified taxable income is $386,600 (this is also their taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income). Determine their allowable QBI deduction for 2020. $fill in the blank 1

Answers

Answer:

A. $8,000

B. $14,400

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit

First step is to calculate the Applicable Percentage

Applicable percentage= 100%-($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000

Applicable percentage=40%

Now let Calculate the tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit

GREATER OF BELOW:

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=50% of W-2 wages ($40,000 × 50% × 40%)

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$8,000

OR

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=[ W-2 wages of ($40,000 × 25% × 40%)]+ [Unadjusted basis of qualified property of ($0 × 2.5% × 40%)]

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000+$0

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000

Therefore their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit will be $8,000

2. Calculation to Determine their allowable QBI deduction for 2020

First step is to calculate the General QBI deduction

General QBI deduction [($300,000 × 20%)× 40%]

General QBI deduction=$24,000

Second step is to calculate the Reduction Ratio

Reduction ratio= ($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000

Reduction ratio=$60,000/100,000

Reduction ratio= 60%

Now let calculate the allowable QBI deduction for 2020

General QBI deduction $24,000

Less Reduction of W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit ($9,600)

[($24,000-$8,000)*60%]

2020 Allowable QBI deduction $14,400

($24,000-$9,600)

Therefore their allowable QBI deduction for 2020 will be $14,400
