If a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, its demand for financial capital would
Answer: shift to the left
Explanation:
The social return helps in comparing the value of benefits and the costs to achieving the benefits. The social return is the ratio of net present value of the benefits in comparison to the net present value of the investment or the costs to getting the benefits.
In this case, if a small electric automobile manufacturer is able to gain the social return generated by its electric motor, it would decrease the demand for financial capital which simply means that the demand for financial capital will shift to the left. This shift to the left is as a result of the gain in its social return gotten by the electric motor.

Mark writes a check to Sally, intending to use it to pay Sally for babysitting Mark's daughter next week. Sally arrives at Mark's house for a visit, and while Mark is in the bathroom, Sally discovers the check on Mark's desk and takes it. She endorses the check over to Bob in exchange for a used tennis racket. Mark ends up not hiring Sally to babysit. When he discovers the check is missing, he stops payment on it. Bob sues Mark to enforce payment of the check. Which of the following statements is true? a. Mark must pay Bob the amount of the check b. Mark could assert the defense of fraud in the inducement against Bob c. Mark can assert the defense of lack of delivery against Bob d. Mark can assert the defense of failure of consideration against Bob
Answer:
Bob sues Mark to enforce payment of the check
d. Mark can assert the defense of failure of consideration against Bob.
Explanation:
Failure of consideration means that there was no consideration since intended contract between Mark and Sally which would have established the consideration upon Sally's performance was frustrated. The contract did not take effect. It is an established point in contract law that there must be consideration for a contract to be valid and enforceable. Since the contract was not finalized and no performance of consideration was carried out by Sally, she had no legal right to collect Mark's check and endorse it to Bob.
Moreover, any potential contract would have been between Bob and Sally and not Mark. So, Mark can plead failure of consideration in the relationship between him and Sally, thus rendering the check's endorsement to a third party, null and void.
Ms. Jones, the CEO of First Bank, is hoping that her employees will buy into a new performance review system. Which of the following statements would be most likely to help Ms. Jones achieve buy-in?

2. The new performance system starts on Tuesday of next week. Be prepared to use it.
3. We are implementing a new performance system effective Monday.
4. We will have a meeting Friday with HR to learn how to use it We need to continue to work on the new performance system.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option 4: We will have a meeting Friday with HR to learn how to use it. We need to continue to work on the new performance system.
Explanation:
To begin with, if Ms. Jones is looking forward to get her employees to buy the new system then she must tell them that they are going to use and it is important for the company and even more for them to have it in order to use it later because that will bring more benefits for everyone. Therefore that when she tells them that there is a meeting soon that will focus in the fact of learning how to use it and that it will show the importance of using it, the employees will feel the necessity of acquiring it for that reason.
Assume you are holding a business meeting with five people, each from a different continent (North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia), you being one of them. Which steps would you take to ensure that everyone is comfortable and that communication is good between everyone?
Explanation:
Holding a meeting with people from different cultures can be a big challenge, so it is necessary to organize the meeting to ensure that the different approaches and needs of each person are taken into account by the leader who will conduct the business meeting.
It is necessary to think of ideas, decisions and conduct that make all participants comfortable and are not a factor that interferes with the positive flow of the meeting. It is therefore important to develop cultural intelligence, which is an essential skill for leaders of large companies who wish to operate in the globalized market.
Cultural intelligence can be defined as the ability of a person to relate and work between different cultures, adapting and increasingly developing that intelligence (cultural quotient) in motivational, behavioral and metacognitive aspects. Through cultural intelligence it is possible for the individual to get involved efficiently in any environment, in business it is an essential skill for survival in the global market.

Answer:
There is demand for and supply of dollars and a demand for and supply of pesos. Under a flexible exchange rate system, if income growth in the United States is greater than income growth in Mexico, then the dollar would increase its value over the peso.
Explanation:
Given that in the situation in question the quantities supplied and demanded of both currencies remain stable, in principle there should be no valuation of one over the other for reasons of supply and demand.
Now, since the economic growth in the United States that sustains the value of the dollar is greater than that growth in Mexico that sustains the value of the peso, the greater the value of the dollar in international markets. This will necessarily imply a higher valuation of the American currency, which will widen the gap in the exchange rate with respect to the peso, which instead will remain stable in global markets.
Sheridan Corp.’s sales slumped badly in 2020. For the first time in its history, it operated at a loss. The company’s income statement showed the following results from selling 550,500 units of product: sales $2,752,500, total costs and expenses $2,855,400, and net loss $102,900. Costs and expenses consisted of the amounts shown below.
Total Variable Fixed
Cost of goods sold $2,140,000 $1,590,000 $550,000
Selling expenses 250,000 92,000 158,000
Administrative expenses 210,000 68,000 142,000
$2,600,000 $1,750,000 $850,000
Management is considering the following independent alternatives for 2018.
1. Increase unit selling price 20% with no change in costs, expenses, and sales volume.
2. Change the compensation of salespersons from fixed annual salaries totaling $150,000 to total salaries of $60,000 plus a 5% commission on sales.
Required:
a. Compute the break-even point in dollars for 2017. (Round final answer to 0 decimal places.)
b. Compute the contribution margin under each of the alternative courses of action. (Round final answer to 0 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
a. Here we will follow some steps to reach break-even point in dollars for 2017 is shown below:-
Step 1
Selling price per unit = Sales ÷ Number of units
= $2,752,500 ÷ $550,500
= $5
Step 2
Variable cost per unit = Total of variable ÷ Number of units
= $1,750,000 ÷ $550,500
= $3
Step 3
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit
= ($5 - 3) ÷ $5
= 0.4
and finally
Break even point in dollars = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $850,000 ÷ 0.4
= $2,125,000
b. As per the situation the solution of contribution margin under each of the alternative courses of action is below:-
According to the 1 alternative
Selling price per unit = $5 × 1.20
= $6
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit
= ($6 - 3) ÷ $6
= 0.5
or
= 50%
According to the 2 alternative
Variable cost per unit = $3 + $5 × 5%
= $3.25
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Selling price per unit
= ($5 - $3.25) ÷ $5
= 0.35
or
= 35%
Your firm (an Australian firm) makes a sale to a Japanese customer. The sale price is 200 million Japanese Yen payable in exactly three months from today. The current exchange rate is AUD/JPY = 90 (i.e., 1 Australian Dollar (AUD) is worth 90 Japanese Yen (JPY)). The current interest rates in Australia and Japan are 3% p.a. and 0.5% p.a., respectively.Given this information, please answer the following questions. Please label your answers according to parts.(a) Given that Australian Dollar is the domestic currency, what is the direct quote of the exchange rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen ? Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(b) What is the theoretical current forward exchange rate quoted directly in terms of Australian Dollar (i.e. JPY/AUD) for delivery three months from today ? Show your input to the formula to arrive at the final answer. Please round the final answer to five decimal places.(c) How can the firm take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million ? (Hint: Which derivative instrument can be used to achieve this objective?(d) Ignoring the cost of the derivative instrument to be used in part (c), what would be the outcome from hedging if the spot exchange rate in 3 month’s time is (i) AUD/JPY=150 and (ii) AUD/JPY = 50?
Answer:
An Australian Firm Selling to a Japanese Customer
a) Direct Quote of the Exchange Rate between Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen:
A$ 1 = ¥90
Meaning 1 Australian Dollar = 90 Japanese Yen.
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90
b)Theoretical Current Forward Exchange Rate, quoted in terms of JPY/AUD for delivery in three months:
= Spot Rate x (1 + Japanese Interest Rate) / (1 + Australian Interest Rate) x 360/90
= ¥90 x (1 +0.005) / (1 +0.03) x 360/90 = ¥90 x 1.005/1.03 x 360/90
= ¥351.26214 =A$1
c) The Australian firm can take advantage of any decreases in the exchange rate and also ensure that it receives at least Australian $2 million by entering into a Currency Forwards Contract.
d) If the spot exchange rate in 3 month's time is:
(i) AUD/JPY=150, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the gain of:
Forward Exchange outcome in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥150 =
A$ 1,333,333.33333
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - A$ 1,333,333.33333 = A$666,666.66667
(ii) AUD/JPY = 50, the outcome of the hedging with a Currency Forwards Contract to get at least A$ 2 million would be the loss of:
Forward Exchange outcome = in Australian Dollars = ¥200 million/ ¥50 =
A$4 million
Hedging outcome minus Forward Exchange outcome
A$2 million - $4 million = -A$2million
Explanation:
a) Currency forwards contracts and future contracts are used to hedge the currency risk. For example, a company expecting to receive ¥200 million in 90 days, can enter into a forward contract to deliver the ¥200 million and receive equivalent Australian dollars in 90 days at an exchange rate specified today.
b) If A$ 1 = ¥90
Therefore, the price of the goods would be A$ 2,222,222.22222 (¥200 million)/ ¥90 in Australian Dollars.

Target profit a.are when sales and costs are exactly equal. b.can be calculated by modifying the break-even equation. c.equals differential costs. d.cannot be calculated in cost-volume-profit analysis.
Answer:
b. can be calculated by modifying the break-even equation.
Explanation:
As the name implies, target profit can be explained to be the certain amount a business enterprise or a business organisation targets to hit at the end of its sales or at the end of her business dealings.
It can be easily seen in a cash flow planning as it is once modified to approximate cash flow, and also used for revealing expected results to investors and lenders. In all that it is been used for, in the scenario above, it also can be calculated by modifying the break-even equation, and deriving more conservative budgeting packages in business development too.

1. A complaint of sexual harassment by a part-time worker in a hardware business was upheld when the Tribunal found that the employer had failed to take sufficient action in relation to the employee's report of inappropriate behaviour. The alleged sexual harassment included kissing, touching her breasts and leg, persistent requests to have a drink outside work hours despite an ongoing refusal, asking for cuddles, telephoning her at home and making repeated unsolicited sexual remarks. Based on any four ethical theories, explain how these acts constitute unethical behaviours at the workplace
Answer:
Sexual harassment is an unethical behavior both at or outside workplace and this can be explained using these ethical theories; DEONTOLOGY, UTILITARIANISM, INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER ETHICS, WORKPLACE INDIVIDUAL ETHICS
1. DEONTOLOGY: This ethical theory states that a person's actions are either bad or good depending on sets of rules, actions are morally right if it is in accordance with the rules, rights et cetera. in this case the behavior does not follow any rules and there is no right given to anybody to harass a woman. This theory shows that these acts were unethical.
2. UTILITARIANISM: this theory supports actions and behaviors that brings happiness and joy to others and frowns at actions that brings sadness and unhappiness to people around us. In this case the employee is harassed which makes her unhappy so this theory labels sexual harassment as an unethical behavior.
3. INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER ETHICS: It says that there are certain qualities of a person that determine their ethics, this includes; gratitude, benevolence, respect but in this case the individual has no such traits present in him because of his disrespect towards a woman, so this theory shows how unethical those acts were.
4. WORKPLACE INDIVIDUAL ETHICS: It says that the development or presence of certain traits show the work ethics of an individual and the traits are honor, work pride, trustworthiness but in this case he has proved that there is no such trait present in him so it constitute unethical behavior at workplace.

Answer:
A.On Ex-dividend date: November 20, 2006
B.1%
C.$0.19
D. $1.82
Explanation:
1.On Ex-dividend date: November 20, 2006
will the stock price change to reflect the value of the dividend
b. Calculation for Formaggio’s dividend yield
Using this formula
Dividend yield = dividend/share price
Let plug in the formula
= .20/20 = 1%
c. Calculation of how much the stock price is likely to fall
0.20*(1 – 15%) = P*(1 – 10%)
Solve for P = $0.19
d. Calculation of How much is the stock price likely to fall Suppose that the company decides to issue a 10% stock dividend instead of a cash dividend.
$1,000,000 + (1,000,000 * 10%)
$1,000,00+$100,000
= 1,100,000 total shares
Hence,
$20,000,000 / 1,100,000 = $18.18 per share
$20 – 18.18 = $1.82 fall

True or false: The plantwide overhead rate method uses multiple rates to allocate overhead costs to products.
Answer:
Flase.
Explanation:
The plantwide overhead rate method uses multiple rates to allocate overhead costs to products.
False.
As the name indicates, the plantwide overhead rate uses a single rate to allocate overhead. When the predetermined overhead rate is calculated using the activity base method, you have as many predetermined rates as activities.
To calculate a plant-wide overhead rate, you need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Assume that you are 30 years old today, and that you are planning on retirement at age 65. You expect your salary to be $42,000 one year from now and you also expect your salary to increase at a rate of 5% per year as long as you work. To save for your retirement, you plan on making annual contributions to a retirement account. Your first contribution will be made on your 31st birthday and will be 8% of this year's salary. Likewise, you expect to deposit 8% of your salary each year until you reach age 65. Assume that the rate of interest is 9%. The present value (PV) (at age 30) of your retirement savings is closest to
Answer:
$50,855.62
Explanation:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet to determine the yearly contributions to the plan and their future value.
once you reach 65 years, your retirement account should have $1,038,165. Now we need to determine the present value = $1,038,165 / (1 + 9%)³⁵ = $50,855.62
Julie Whiteweiler made $930 this week. Only social security (fully taxable) and federal income taxes attach to her pay. Whiteweiler contributes $100 each week to her company's 401(k) plan and has $25 put into her health savings account (nonqualified) each week. Her employer matches this $25 each week.
Required:
Determine Whiteweiler's take-home pay if she is single and claims 4 allowances (use the wage-bracket method).
Answer:
Step 1: Calculate FICA (OASDI & HI):
Total wage subjected to FICA is $930. Why? Contributions to 401K is only exempted from Fed. Income Tax Withholding (FIT) not FICA. As for HSA contrib., it is exempted for both FICA and FIT. However, the plan is non-qualified, which means that $25 contributed by employee is taxable for both. The $25 matching from employer for HSA is excluded from income and income taxes.
OASDI RATE 2012: 4.2% of $930; therefore, $39.06
HI RATE 2012: 1.45% of $930; therefore, $13.49
TOTAL FICA TAX: $52.55
STEP 2: Calculate FIT:
Total earnings subjected to FIT is ($930-100)= $830. Why? $100 contributions to 401k is exempted from FIT. HSA contrib. is unqualified.; therefore, contributions from employee is taxable. Using Wage Bracket Method 2012, the FIT is $89.
STEP 3: Getting the Take-Home Pay answer:
($930-100(401k))-25(HSA:Employee)-$52.55(FICA)-89(FIT)=$663.45

3. Problems and Applications Q3 This chapter discusses companies that are oligopolists in the market for the goods they sell. Many of the same ideas apply to companies that are oligopolists in the market for the inputs they buy. If sellers who are oligopolists try to increase the price of goods they sell, the goal of buyers who are oligopolists is to try to decrease the prices of goods they buy. Major league baseball team owners have an oligopoly in the market for baseball players. The owners' goal is to keep players' salaries . True or False: This goal is difficult to achieve because teams can attract better players with higher salaries. True False Baseball players went on strike in 1994 because they would not accept the salary cap that the owners wanted to impose. True or False: The owners felt the need for a salary cap to dissolve collusive behavior over salaries. True False
Answer:
Oligopolistic Companies:
a) The owners' goal is to keep players' salaries capped. TRUE
b) Goal is difficult to achieve: TRUE
c) 1994 Baseball players' strike: TRUE
d) Owners needed salary cap to dissolve collusive behavior over salaries: TRUE.
Explanation:
a) According to the Economist, Oligopoly is "a market situation in which each of a few producers affects but does not control the market. Each producer must consider the effect of a price change on the actions of the other producers." There is little competition among the players as each tries to control the market with price cuts and quantity reductions. For example, a cut in price by one may lead to an equal reduction by the others, with the result that each firm will retain approximately the same share of the market as before but at a lowered profit level.
b) According to wikipedia.com, "The 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike was the eighth work stoppage in baseball history, as well as the fourth in-season work stoppage in 22 years. Due to the strike, both the 1994 and 1995 seasons were not played to a complete 162 games; the strike was called after most teams had played at least 113 games in 1994." The strike ended the next April, after 232 days, when the players had successfully resisted the salary cap.

Firm L has debt with a market value of $200,000 and a yield of 9%. The firm's equity has a market value of $300,000, its earnings are growing at a rate of 5%, and its tax rate is 40%. A similar firm with no debt has a cost of equity of 12%. Under the MM extension with growth, what is Firm L's cost of equity?
Answer:
Firm L's cost of equity is 13.2%
Explanation:
In order to calculate Firm L's cost of equity we would have to calculate the following formula:
Firm L's cost of equity=Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
D/E = debt/equity
D/E = $200,000/$300,000
D/E=0.6666
Therefore, Firm L's cost of equity= 12%+0.6666*(12%-9%)*(1-0.4)
Firm L's cost of equity=13.2%
Firm L's cost of equity is 13.2%
