Rust Pipe Co. was established in 1994. Four years later the company went public. At that time, Robert Rust, the original owner, decided to establish two classes of stock. The first represents Class A founders' stock and is entitled to twelve votes per share. The normally traded common stock, designated as Class B, is entitled to one vote per share. In late 2010, Mr. Stone, an investor, was considering purchasing shares in Rust Pipe Co. While he knew the existence of founders’ shares were not often present in other companies, he decided to buy the shares anyway because of a new technology Rust Pipe had developed to improve the flow of liquids through pipes. Of the 1,900,000 total shares currently outstanding, the original founder's family owns 52,725 shares. What is the percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

34.25%

Explanation:

Votes per share = 12

Shares owned = 52725

Now we are to calculate the total value of the total number of of votes

Total votes = votes per share * shares owned

= 12*52725

Total = 632700

Value of votes of class B

Total shares outstanding - founders family shares

= 1900000 - 52725

= 1847275

The question requires us to calculate percentage of the founder's family votes to Class B votes

632700/1847275

= 0.3425

= 34.25%

Answer:

target return pricing

Explanation:

Target return pricing is a pricing method that uses a very simple formula:

target price = [unit cost + (desired return x capital)] /unit sales

The price is based on the ROI that the company expects from a certain product (or project).

Even though this is a fairly simple method for pricing a good or service, it can also have serious negative consequences:

it doesn't take in account consumers' tastes or preferenceswhat happens if the expected ROI is too high, that could kill a project that could have been successful otherwisethe time frames are not always exact, e.g. you believed that a project would last 5 years, but due to a technological breakthrough it only lasts 4

In order to successfully apply this type of pricing strategy, a company must be able to achieve or exceed their sales goals.

The specific The specific identification inventory costing method: Select one: A. Measures the ending inventory at the actual prices of the specific units sold during the period B. Is more appropriate for a firm selling construction equipment than for a firm selling greeting cards C. Is not a generally accepted method of pricing inventories D. Uses expected future acquisition costs rather than historical costs to measure the ending inventoryinventory costing method:

Answers

Answer:

A. Measures the ending inventory at the actual prices of the specific units sold during the period

Explanation:

The Specific identification inventory costing method is a strategy of getting the actual ending inventory cost. To get this cost requires the deliberate manual calculation of each of the remaining commodities brought on certain dates, at year-end inventory. The number gotten is then multiplied by their actual cost of purchase date. The result is then taken as the ending inventory cost.

Consequently, the purpose is to allocates the specific cost of each inventory item to cost of goods sold.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option A. Measures the ending inventory at the actual prices of the specific units sold during the period.

Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $107,000 in sales during the second quarter of this year. If it began the quarter with $18,700 of inventory at cost and purchased $72,700 of inventory during the quarter, its estimated ending inventory by the gross profit method is:

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated ending inventory is given below:

As  We know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory

And, the

Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold

So,

$107,000 - $107,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold

Therefore, the cost of goods sold is

= $107,000 - $32,100

= $74,900

And, finally the ending inventory is

$74,900 = $18,700 + $72,700 - ending inventory

$74,900 = $91,400  - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory is

= $91,400 - $74,900

= $16,500

1. When will countries trade? Assuming 2 goods, food and clothing, and that both countries’ preferences are homothetic (but not necessarily identical), determine whether two countries will trade in each of the following situations: (a) Countries have identical preferences and identical endowments. (b) Countries have identical preferences, their endowments differ, and their endowments are not in the same ratio of food to clothing. (c) Countries have identical preferences, their endowments differ, but the ratio of food to clothing is the same in both countries. (d) Countries have identical endowments but different preferences. (e) Countries have both different preferences and different endowments.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Countries have identical preferences and identical endowments.

Explanation:

Analyzing the statement, there is information that the preferences of countries are homothetic (but not necessarily identical) with respect to the 2 goods, food and clothing.

That is why it is correct to state that countries will not trade with each other, as countries have identical preferences and identical allocations, which means that the demands for these goods will be related to the prices of the goods and not in relation to income or preferences.

Therefore, there is no need to commercialize these two goods between these countries, except in situations of scarcity.

How do you think Alden, from Situation 2, found out about Revinate? Given all the online companies that might help your business connect you with customers, how would you choose one?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the proper context of the question or further references, we can comment on the following.

Alden found out about Revinate by searching on the web trying to find the best software options that could help the company to identify the customer's reviews so Gregory E. Alden could make the best decisions for his company.

Gregory E. Alden is the manager of the company Woodside Hotels, located in Northern California. He was trying to monitor the comments of his high-class clients because Woodside Hotels is in the luxurious hotel business. So knowing that constantly monitoring client's comments on social media pages such as TripAdvisor or Yelp can be an arduous and difficult task, Gregory searched for the best software company to monitor client's comments on social media. That is how he found Revinate, a company that helps managers to track reviews so they can make the best business decisions once they have learned what their customers desire. And that is exactly what I would do to choose the kind of company to know about the preferences of my customers.

For most consumers, maximizing utility through consumption generally means finding good deals in order to maximize the utility received for each dollar spent. However, some makers of luxury goods believe that their customers actually achieve utility by paying high prices. As a result, lowering prices may lead to reduced sales for the makers of luxury goods. How is this counterintuitive concept rationalized by analysis of consumer behavior and the utility maximization rule

Answers

Answer:

The explanation of that situation is below.

Explanation:

To begin with, the most important factor to have in mind in the situation explained above is the fact that we are talking about a "luxury good" and therefore that when it comes to this type of goods is better when the majority of the people do not possess or at least they must represent the fact that they are exclusive for only some part of the population. That is why that those goods use the strategy of increase always the price because that will means that they are not affordable for the majority of the society but only for a few and that will give to the owner of the good a sense of uniqueness and with that it also comes the sense of superiority. That is why that when it comes to this type of good the analysis change and it collides with the other theory of utility maximation.

If a company purchases equipment costing $4,500 on credit, the effect on the accounting equation would be: Multiple Choice Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. One asset increases $4,500 and another asset decreases $4,500. Equity decreases $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500. Equity increases $4,500 and liabilities decrease $4,500. Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.

Answers

Answer: Assets increase $4,500 and liabilities increase $4,500.

Explanation:

An asset are the properties which a business or an organization owns. An asset possess an economic value.

Since the equipment purchased is an asset, this will lead to an increase of assets by $4500 and since it was bought on credit and hasn't been paid for, liabilities will also increase by $4500.
