Answer:
1. Patents are granted to inventors of a product or process for a certain number of years. The reason for this is to encourage innovation in the economy. Without the existence of patents, it is argued, research and development for improved electronics is unlikely to take place, since there’s nothing preventing another firm from stealing the idea, copying the product, and producing it without incurring the development costs.
Government Created Monopoly.
Patents protect the intellectual property of a person or entity and prevent others from taking it and using it without rewarding the people who came up with it. The owners of the parents are able to dictate the selling of the resource and as such have a monopoly over it. Patents are granted by the government which makes this a Government created Monopoly.
2. Throughout much of the 20th century, many people viewed South Africa’s De Beers Group as a monopoly because it controlled a large percentage of diamond production and sales.
Ownership of Key Economic Resource.
As early as 1902, De Beers controlled 90% of the world's diamond production and under the leadership of J P Morgan, consolidated control over the diamond industry. They controlled many mines and also bought diamonds from other producers allowing them to control the diamond trade. Even though their control has waned of late, they still control around 35% of the world's diamond production which is a very significant percentage.
3. In the electricity industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary wiring makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
Economies of Scale
To survive in the Electricity industry the company would need to have an extensive network to permit them to benefit from Economies of Scale. This can be very difficult to set up so companies stay away from the industry thereby creating a monopoly for those already in it.
Suppose that JB Cos. has a capital structure of 75 percent equity, 25 percent debt, and that its before-tax cost of debt is 14 percent while its cost of equity is 18 percent. Assume the appropriate weighted-average tax rate is 25 percent.
What will be JBâs WACC? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
WACC ______ %
Answer:
16.13%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted cost of capital (WACC) is shown below:
As we know that
WACC is
= weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of debt × before cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)
= 0.75 × 18% + 0.25 × 14% × (1 - 0.25)
= 13.5% + 2.625%
= 16.13%
We simply applied the above formula so that the WACC could be arrive
A bank has excess reserves of $1 million and makes a new loan for $500,000. If the bank faces a 10% required reserve ratio, by how much could the money supply increase when the loan is made
Answer:
With a 10% required reserve ratio, the money supply could increase by $500,000/r when the loan is made.
This equals $5,000,000 ($500,000/0.1) where r = 10%
Explanation:
a) The money multiplier is the amount of money that banks generate with each dollar of reserves. Reserves is the amount of deposits that the Federal Reserve requires banks to hold and not lend.
b) The formula for the money multiplier is simply 1/r, where r = the reserve ratio.
c) The reserve ratio, also known as Cash Reserve Ratio, is the percentage of deposits which commercial banks are required to keep as cash according to the directions of the central bank. It is used by the central bank to control the supply of money in the economy. When the central bank wants to increase the money supply, it lowers the reserve ratio and vice versa.
d) According to wikipedia.com, "the money supply is the total value of money available in an economy at a point of time." It is usually defined as currency in circulation plus demand deposits. It is the demand deposits that give commercial banks the ability to create money using the reserve ratio.
A corporation has 44,904 shares of $26 par value stock outstanding that has a current market value of $238 per share. If the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split, determine the number of shares outstanding. Select the correct answer. 583,752 8,981 224,520 44,904
Answer: 224,520
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a corporation has 44,904 shares of $26 par value stock outstanding that has a current market value of $238 per share and that the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split. The number of shares outstanding goes thus:
Shares outstanding = 44,904 shares
We are also told that the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split. Therefore, the new shares will be:
= 44,904 × 5
= 224,520 shares
If the corporation issues a 5-for-1 stock split, the number of shares outstanding will be 224,520.
A divorced woman with 2 young children has just re-entered the workforce part time and earns $3,000 from this work. She collects another $2,400 per year in alimony payments. The woman wishes to make a contribution to an Individual Retirement Account this year. Which statement is TRUE
Which statement is TRUE
A. No contribution can be made because the woman received alimony payments
B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work
C. A contribution can be made based only on the alimony payments received
D. A contribution can be made based on both the earned income from part-time work and the alimony payments received
Answer:
B. A contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work
Explanation:
According to Individual Retirement Account regulations, contribution can only be made base on earned income and not a court-mandated allowance made to a former spouse by a divorced or legally separated person otherwise known as "Alimony". Alimony is just a means to support life and not a earned income. So, contribution can be made based only on the income earned from part-time work.
Beatrice invests $1,360 in an account that pays 3 percent simple interest. How much more could she have earned over a 4-year period if the interest had been compounded annually
Answer:
If the interest was compounded annually, the amount that would have been earned more over the simple interest method is $7.49
Explanation:
A simple interest account pays interest on only the sum deposited at an annual rate for a specified period of time while a compounding interest account adds the interest earned in each period to the principal amount and calculate the interest for the next period on this new amount (Principal + Accumulated Interest).
The formula to calculate interest under simple interest method is,
Interest = Principal * Annual Rate * Time in years
Total Interest earned = 1360 * 3% * 4
Total interest earned = 163.2
The formula to calculate interest under compound interest method is,
Interest = [Principal * (1+i)^t] - Principal
Where,
i is the interest ratet is the number of periodsInterest = 1360 * (1+0.03)^4 - 1360
Interest = 170.6919 rounded off to $170.69
If the interest was compounded annually, the amount that would have been earned more over the simple interest method is,
Extra amount = 170.69 - 163.2
Extra amount = $7.49
Floral Beauty, Inc., is a large floral arrangements store located in Asheville Mall. Bridal Lilies, which are a specially created bunch of lilies for bridal bouquets, cost Floral Beauty $19 each. There is an annual demand for 22,000 Bridal Lilies. The manager of Floral Beauty has determined that the ordering cost is $85 per order, and the carrying cost, as a percentage of the unit cost, is 14%. Floral Beauty is now considering a new supplier of Bridal Lilies. Each lily would cost only $17.50, but to get this discount, Floral Beauty would have to buy shipments of 2,000 Bridal Lilies at a time. Should Floral Beauty use the new supplier and take this discount for quantity buying?
a. What is the total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost) for the current supplier?
b. What is the annual holding cost for the new supplier (when purchasing 3,000 each order)?
c. What is the total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost) for the new supplier (when purchasing 3,000 each order)?
d. What should Floral Beauty do?
Answer:
a) Total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost) for the current supplier = $421,154
b) Annual holding cost for the new supplier (when purchasing 3,000 each order) = $3,675
c) Total annual inventory cost = $389,298
d) Since the total cost has reduced, Flora Beauty should choose the new supplier option.
Explanation:
Annual demand, D = 22,000
Unit cost, C = $19
Ordering cost, K = $85
Unit carrying cost, h = 14% of C
h = 0.14*19 = $2.66
(a) Total annual inventory cost for the current supplier, [tex]T_c[/tex]
[tex]T_c = (D*C) + (\frac{Q'h}{2} ) + \frac{DK}{Q'}[/tex]...........(1)
Economic order quantity,Q'
[tex]Q' = \sqrt{2DK/2.66} \\Q' = \sqrt{2*22000*85/2.66}\\Q' = 1186 units[/tex]
Su bstitute Q' and other parameters into Tc
[tex]T_c = (D*C) + (\frac{Q'h}{2} ) + \frac{DK}{Q'}[/tex]
[tex]T_c = (22000*19) + \frac{1186*2.66}{2} + \frac{2000*85}{1186} \\T_c = \$421,154[/tex]
(b)
Q = 3000
C = $17.50
h = 0.14*17.50 = 2.45
Annual holding cost for the new supplier = (Q/2)*h = (3000/2)*2.45 = $3,675
(c)
Total annual inventory cost = (D*C) + (Q/2)*h + (D/Q)*K
Total annual inventory cost = (22000*17.5) + (3000/2)*2.45 + (22000/3000)*85
Total annual inventory cost for the new supplier = $389,298
d)
Since the total cost has reduced, Flora Beauty should choose the new supplier option.
Barnes Company purchased $58,000 of 10.0% bonds at par. The bonds mature in six years and are a held-to-maturity security. Which of the following is the correct journal entry to record the receipt of the semiannual interest payment?
a) debit Unrealized Gain-Equity, $2,900; credit Cash, $2,900.
b) debt Cash, $2,900; credit Long-Term Investments-HTM, $2,900.
c) debit Cash, $2,900; credit Interest Revenue, $2,900.
d) debit Cash, $5,800; credit Unrealized Gain-Equity, $5,800.
e) debit Cash, $5,800; credit Long-Term Investments-HTM, $5,800.
Answer:
Option B,debt Cash, $2,900; credit Long-Term Investments-HTM, $2,900,is correct
Explanation:
Semiannual interest on the bond can be computed using the below semiannual interest formula:
semiannual interest=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value is $58000
The coupon rate is 10%
semiannual interest=$58000*10%*6/12=$2900
The receipt of $2900 semiannual interest would be debited to cash while also being credited to Long-Term investments-HTM
Telecom Company is preparing its annual budgeted income statement. What is the best place to locate the amount of interest expense for the year
Answer: d. Cash Budget
Explanation:
The Cash budget is used to project the company's expected position in terms of the cash it holds in the future. As such, the budget contains both cash receipts and cash disbursements.
Some of the disbursements include expenses and loan payments. The loan payments are where the interest expense will be found for the coming year.
Using the following information please prepare a schedule of cost of goods sold and calculate the value of ending inventory and cost of goods of sold included in the Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2019, Using FIFO, First In First Out The total Inventory valuation using FIFO on December 31, 2018 was 2,000 units at a cost of $10 per unit. On June 30, 2019 the company purchased 5,000 units at cost of $20 per unit. On September 30, 2019 the company purchased 3,000 units at a cost of $30 per unit. On December 1, 2019 the company sold 6,000 units.
Answer:
Ending inventory= $110,000
COGS= $100,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory=2,000 units for $10 per unit.
Purchases:
June 30, 2019= 5,000 units at cost of $20 per unit.
September 30, 2019= 3,000 units for $30 per unit.
On December 1, 2019 the company sold 6,000 units.
Using the FIFO (first-in; first-out) inventory method, the value of ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the last units incorporated into inventory.
Ending inventory in units= 10,000 - 6,000= 4,000
Ending inventory= 3,000*30 + 1,000*20= $110,000
COGS= 2,000*10 + 4,000*20= $100,000
You have just sold your house for $ 1 comma 000 comma 000 in cash. Your mortgage was originally a 30-year mortgage with monthly payments and an initial balance of $ 800 comma 000. The mortgage is currently exactly 18½ years old, and you have just made a payment. If the interest rate on the mortgage is 5.25 % (APR), how much cash will you have from the sale once you pay off the mortgage? g
Answer:
cash received = $510194.55
Explanation:
given data
sold your house = $1000000
time t = 30 year = 360 month
initial balance P = $800,000
mortgage currently exactly = 18½ years = 138 months
interest rate r = 5.25 % = 0.525% per month
solution
first, we will get monthly loan payment is express as
C = P ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{r} \times (1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^n})[/tex] ...............1
Put here values
C = 800,000 ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{.00525} \times (1-\frac{1}{(1+0.00525)^{360}})[/tex]
C = $ 4951.78
so that monthly payment is $ 4951.78
and
Balance after the 18.5 years will be
Balance = $ 4951.78 × [tex]\frac{1}{0.00525}[/tex] × [tex](1-\frac{1}{1.00525^{138}})[/tex]
Balance after 18.5 year = $ 485287.64
Balance after 18.5 year = $489805.45
but here we received here $1000,000 excess cash received is
so
cash received = 1000,000 - 489805.45
cash received = $510194.55
J.C Coats Inc. carefully develops standards for its coat making operation. Its specifications call for 2 square yards of wool per coat. The budgeted price of wool is $50 per square yard. The actual price for the wool was $38 and the usage was only 1.6 yards of wool per coat. What would be the standard cost per output for the wool?
Answer:
$100 per coat
Explanation:
Standard ;
Wool required = 2 yard square per coat
Budgeted price = $50 per square yard
Therefore,
We will need to multiply the total direct material quantity per unit for its unitary cost in order to arrive at the standard cost per unit.
Total standard cost per coat = Wool per coat × Cost per square yard,
= 2 × $50
= $100 per coat

b) Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. It shows the amount of finance needed for meeting day-to-day operations of an entity. Working capital measures a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and its short-term financial health. A healthy entity has some excess of current assets over current liabilities in order to continue to run the business operations in the short-run. Working capital can also be measured in relative terms with the use of ratios, especially the current ratio and the acid-test ratio.
c) ROE means Return on equity. It is a financial performance measure calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. Since shareholders' equity is equal to a company's assets minus its debt, ROE is considered as the return on net assets. As with return on capital, a ROE measures management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.
d) Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial performance measure which evaluates the efficiency of an investment or compares the efficiency of a number of different investments. ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost. As a financial metric, it measures the probability of gaining a return from an investment.

According to the expenditure approach, if Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, and NX is net exports, the national income identity can be written as:
Answer:
The answer is Y = C + I + G + NX
Explanation:
National income can be represented as: Y = C + I + G + NX
where Y is the national income
C is the consumers' consumption or households' expenses on goods and services
I is the firms' investment. Investment done by businesses on procuring non-current assets used in production
G is the government expenditure.
NX is the net export. Net export is the difference between the total value of export and total value of import in a year.
What is the price of a perpetual bond that pays a $45 per year into perpetuity, and has a 3.5% yield to maturity (YTM)
Answer:
Price =$1,285.71
Explanation:
A perpetual bond is that which pays a fixed amount of interest income for the foreseeable future. It issuer does not always have an obligation for redemption under the terms of loan contract.
The price of perpetual bond can be determined as the present value of a perpetuity. An perpetuity is an annuity that pays a fixed amount of cash flow for a certain number of years
PV = A/r
PV- price of bond- ?
A- annual interest - 45
r- Yield to maturity- 3.5%
Price = 45/0.035=1,285.714
Price =$1,285.71
Diane Manufacturing Company is considering investing $500,000 in new equipment with an estimated useful life of 10 years and no salvage value. The equipment is expected to produce $320,000 in cash inflows and $200,000 in cash outflows annually. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and has a 30% tax rate. Diane Manufacturing desired rate of return on this project is 10%. Net cash flows for years 1 through 10 (99,000 X present value of $1 annuity factor) round to nearest dollar A. 120000 Recovery of investment in working capital (500,000 x (present value of $1 factor) B. Present Value of net cash flows C. Initial cash outlay500,000 Net Present Value
Answer:
net income per year = $49,000
annual cash flows = $99,000
NPV = $108,315.40
payback period = 5.05 years
accounting rate of return = 19.6%
Explanation:
annual cash flow = [($320,000 - $200,000 - $50,000) x 0.7] + $50,000 = $99,000
NPV = -$500,000 + [$99,000 x 6.1446 (PV annuity, 10%, 10 periods)] = -$500,000 + $608,315.40 = $108,315.40
payback period = $500,000 / $99,000 = 5.05 years
accounting rate of return = net income per year / average investment = $49,000 / [($500,000 + $0)/2] = $49,000 / $250,000 = 19.6%
DeKay Dental Supplies issued $10,000 of bonds on January 1, 2018. The bonds pay interest semiannually. This is a partial bond amortization schedule for the bonds Effective Decrease in Outstanding Payment Cash interest balance 400 400 400 400 409 409 409 410 balance 9,080 9,089 9,098 9,107 9,117 10 What is the stated annual rate of interest on the bonds?
a) 4.5%.
b) 9.0%.
c) 40%.
d) 80%.
Answer: d. 8.0%
Explanation:
The Stated Annual Rate of Interest on a bond refers to the coupon rate which is the amount that the company promises to pay on the bond pay period.
Looking at the question, the company is paying $400 every 6 months on the $10,000 bonds . The interest therefore is;
= 400/10,000
= 4%
Company pays 4% on the bonds every 6 months.
This 4% should be stated in annual terms so;
= 4% * 2
= 8%.

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 28%. The T-bill rate is 8%. Your client chooses to invest 70% of a portfolio in your fund and 30% in a T-bill money market fund. Suppose that your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 25 % Stock B 32 % Stock C 43 % What are the investment proportions of your client’s overall portfolio, including the position in T-bills?
Answer:
Stock A: 20%
Stock B: 25.6%
Stock C: 34.4%
Explanation:
Calculation for the investment proportions of your client's overall portfolio, including the position in T-bills
Based on the information given the T-bill rate is 8% which means we are going to multiply each stock Investments by 8%
Stock A 25%
Stock B 32%
Stock C 43%
Hence
Stock A: .25*.8= 20%
Stock B: .32*.8= 25.6%
Stock C: .43*.8= 34.4%
Therefore the investment proportions of your client's overall portfolio, including the position in T-bills will be :
Stock A: 20%
Stock B: 25.6%
Stock C: 34.4%

Why would a large publically traded corporation likely prefer issuing bonds as a way to raise new money as opposed to issuing more shares
Answer: B. more shares will dilute the existing value of the stock, causing its market price to fall
Explanation:
The company is already Publicly traded. If it were to issue more stock it would increased the amount of stock it has in the market which will lead to the prices reducing from a high amount of supply.
Companies generally do not want their stock prices to decrease as it sends negative signals to investors as well as the fact that management's role is to try to increase Shareholder wealth.
They will therefore rather issue bonds than risk their stock prices reducing in price.
Prepare journal entries to record the following production activities. 1. Incurred $59,000 of direct labor in production (credit Factory Payroll Payable). 2. Incurred $22,000 of indirect labor in production (credit Factory Payroll Payable). 3. Paid factory payroll.
Answer: The answer has been solved and attached
Explanation:
The work in progress and inventory is the inventory that has almost finished by a company and waiting so was to be changed to finished goods. We are told that direct labour is used, therefore we will have to debit work in progress inventory by $59,000 and credit payable factory payroll by $59,000.
Factory overhead are expenses that a company makes. We have to debit it by $22,000 and credit payable factory payroll by $22,000.
The solution has been attached.
Clemens Inc. is considering a $100 million investment in a new line of soft drinks. However, $100 million is a huge investment for Clemens; if things turn bad, it could wipe out the company. A few senior managers have suggested
Answer: expand
Explanation:
Here's the complete question:
Clemens Inc. is considering a $100 million investment in a new line of soft drinks. However, $100 million is a huge investment for Clemens; if things turn bad, it could wipe out the company. A few senior managers have suggested a smaller investment of $20 million to see if the market is as strong as they hope it is. If demand is strong and the opportunity is still available, Clemens will increase its investment at a later date. This example describes a real option to:
a. abandon
b. expand
An expansion option is an option that gives the company that bought a real option, the right to take part in certain actions, and to also expand its operations in the future even with little or no cost. In real estate, this option gives opportunities to the tenants to increase the space of the premises where they live.
This is the idea portrayed in the question when few senior managers suggested a smaller investment of $20 million should be made at first and when the demand is strong and the opportunity is still available, Clemens will increase its investment at a later date.
Tru-U stock is selling for $41 a share. A 6-month call on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 is priced at $1.60. Risk-free assets are currently returning .29 percent per month. What is the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45?
Answer:
$4.82
Explanation:
Calculation for the price of the 6-month put on Tru-U stock
To find the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 we are going to use Put-call parity formula to calculate it
Using this formula
Put-call parity: S + P = C + PV(E) P
Let plug in the formula
Put-call parity= $1.60 + ($45 / 1.0029^⁶) - $41 = Put-call parity=$1.60+($45/1.01752)-$41
Put-call parity=$1.60+(44.22517)-$41
Put-call parity=$45.82517-$41
Put-call parity=$4.82
Therefore the price of a 6-month put on Tru-U stock with a strike price of $45 will be $4.82
Myers Corporation's stock currently trades at $40 a share. Investors estimate that the year-end dividend will be $2.00 a share and that its dividend will grow at 5% a year (i.e., D1= $2.00 and g = 5%). The company needs to issue new stock in order to fund its upcoming projects, and investment bankers estimate that the floatation cost will be 4%. What is Myers' cost of new external equity?
a) 10.2%
b) 12.0%
c) 9.6%
d) 11.3%
e) 8.5%
Answer: 10.2%
Explanation:
The formula to solve this question will be: Re =D1/P0(1 - float) + g
where,
D1 = $2.00
P0 = $40
Float = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04
g = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05
We will then solve Myers' cost of new external equity by slotting the values into the formula written. This will now be:
Re =D1/P0(1 - float) + g
= 2/40(1 - 0.04) + 0.05
= 2/(40 × 0.96) + 0.05
= 2/38.4 + 0.05
= 0.052 + 0.05
= 0.1020
= 10.2%
Myers' cost of new external equity will be 10.2%
Bonner Corp.'s sales last year were $345,000, and its year-end total assets were $355,000. The average firm in the industry has a total assets turnover ratio (TATO) of 2.4. Bonner's new CFO believes the firm has excess assets that can be sold so as to bring the TATO down to the industry average without affecting sales. By how much must the assets be reduced to bring the TATO to the industry average, holding sales constant? Use the year-end balance in your calculations. Select the correct answer. a. $211,325 b. $211,175 c. $211,101 d. $211,250 e. $211,026
Answer:
d. $211,250
Explanation:
The TATO is the ratio of sales to assets:
TATO = sales/assets
Filling in the desired numbers, we can find the desired level of assets:
2.4 = 345,000/assets
assets = 345,000/2.4 = 143,750
Starting with assets of 355,000 the reduction necessary to bring assets down to 143,750 is ...
$355,000 -143,750 = $211,250 . . . . matches choice D
