Suppose you decide (as did Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg) to start a company. Your product is a software platform that integrates a wide range of media devices, including laptop computers, desktop computers, digital video recorders, and cell phones. Your initial market is the student body at your university. Once you have established your company and set up procedures for operating it, you plan to expand to other colleges in the area and eventually to go nationwide. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, you plan to go public with an IPO and then to buy a yacht and take off for the South Pacific to indulge in your passion for underwater photography.
1. What is an agency relationship? When you first begin operations, assuming you are the only employee and only your money is invested in the business, would any agency conflicts exist? 2. If you expanded and hired additional people to help you, might that give rise to agency problems?3. Suppose you need additional capital to expand and you sell some stock to outside investors. If you maintain enough stock to control the company, what type of agency conflict might occur?4. List three provisions in the corporate charter that affect takeovers.5. Briefly describe the use of stock options in a compensation plan. What are some potential problems with stock options as a form of compensation?6. What is block ownership? How does it affect corporate governance?7. Briefly explain how regulatory agencies and legal systems affect corporate governance.

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

In the question, there are multiple choices that are defined, in which except the first three choices other are belong to a different topic, that's why we define only three choices.

In option 1:

There can be relationships between both the organization or managers as leaders assign making decisions with managers. This same relation could lead to conflicts between both the parties concerned. The said conflict is named an issue/confrontation agency. The confrontation between both the supervisors and employees and between owners and creditors may also exist.

There would be no dispute with both the department. Its reason for this is that organization conflict may occur unless the business owner does not hold 100% of the common stock of a corporation.

In that case, they will manage the operations of your company as the sole employee. Users will have the right to obtain all revenue earned from the company. It will keep owning 100% of a greater corporate share because you put the money in the company. There have been no external agencies that borrow. There will be no chance of every confrontation.

In option 2:

Yeah, once you recruit people to take on responsibilities or give them their proper decision-making authority, the conflict and you and your workers will occur. Disagreements may well be caused by differences of opinions or even by the sharing of profits you would have the right to receive when you operated together.

In option 3:

\Yeah, it can result in conflicts with the organization to hold shares out to buyers. Scandals among shareholders and managers and between borrowers and shareholders and between management, shareholders and debt holders may arise as a type of conflict.

Jeremy Pruitt Ltd is considering the replacement of a delivery truck. The current truck could last for 3 more years. Operating costs are 5000 per year. We are currently depreciating it at 4000 per year. We could sell it at the end of the 3 years for 2000 with a book value of zero. If we purchase the new truck for 32000, we could use three year MACRS. We could sell the old truck now for 7000. Operating costs would drop to 1000 per year. We can sell the new truck for 15000 at the end of the 3rd year. Tax rate is 40%, WACC is 10%. Should we replace the truck?

Brews 4 U is a local chain of coffee shops. Managers are interested in the costs of the stores and believe that the costs can be explained in large part by the number of customers patronizing the stores. Monthly data regarding customer visits and costs for the preceding year for one of the stores have been entered into the regression analysis.

Average monthly customer-visits 1,462
Average monthly total costs $4,629
Regression results: Intercept $1,496
b coefficient $2.08
R2 0.86814

Required:
a. In a regression equation expressed as y= a + bx, how is the letter b best described?
b. How is the letter y in the regression equation best described?
c. How is the letter x in the regression equation best described?
d. Based on the data derived from the regression analysis, what are the estimated costs for 370 customer-visits in a month?
e. What is the percent of the total variance that can be explained by the regression equation?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a. In a regression equation expressed as y= a + bx, how is the letter b best described?

Here, b is the slope and best described as the estimate of the cost when there's a visit of an additional customer.

b. How is the letter y in the regression equation best described?

The letter y is the observed store cost for that particular month.

c. How is the letter x in the regression equation best described?

The letter x is the observed customer visit for that particular month.

d. Based on the data derived from the regression analysis, what are the estimated costs for 370 customer-visits in a month?

The estimated cost for 370 customer visit will be:

Y = a + bx

where,

a =$1496

b = $2.08

x = 370 customer visit

Y = $1496 + ($2.08 × 370 customer visit)

= $1496 + $769.6

= $2265.6

e. What is the percent of the total variance that can be explained by the regression equation?

The percent of total variance which the regression equation explain will be:

R2 = 0.86814 or 86.814%

Answers

Answer:

Interest expense of $23333.33 should be recorded in 2021 along with a liability of interest payable of $23333.33

Explanation:

The interest expense should be recorded in accordance with the accrual principle of accounting. The accrual or matching principle states that the expenses and revenues should be matched and should be recorded in the period to which they relate to rather then when the cash is paid or received.

Thus, the interest expense relating to 7 months from June 2021 to December 2021 will be recorded as interest expense and interest payable in2021.

Interest expense for 7 months = 800000 * 0.05 * 7/12 = $23333.33

Fethe's Funny Hats is considering selling trademarked, orange-haired curly wigs for University of Tennessee football games. The purchase cost for a 2-year franchise to sell the wigs is $20,000. If demand is good (40% probability), then the net cash flows will be $26,000 per year for 2 years. If demand is bad (60% probability), then the net cash flows will be $3,000 per year for 2 years. Fethe's cost of capital is 13%. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Required:
a. What is the expected NPV of the project?
b. if Fethe makes the investment today, then it will have the option to renew the franchise fee for 2 more years at the end of Year 2 for an additional payment of $20,000.

Answers

Answer:

$350

Explanation:

We can calculate the expected NPV by calculating the present value of future cash flows first and then deduct these cash flows from the initial investment.

DATA

Inital Investment = $ 20,000

cost of capital = 13%

Calculation

Expected Cash flow for year 1   = $ 26,000 x 40% =  10,400

Expected Cash flow for year 2 =  $3,000 * 0.6 =  1800

Expected cash flow = 12,200

Present value of future cash flows = $12,200/1.13 + $12,200/(1.13)^2

Present value of future cash flows = $10,796 + $9,554

Present value of future cash flows = $20,350

Expected NPV of the project = Present value of future cash flows - Initial Investment

Expected NPV of the project = $20,350  - $20,000 = $350

Requirement B

Present value of future cashflows = 20350

Present value of renewal in year2 = 20,000/(1.13)^2 = $15,673

Inital  = $20,000

NPV = 20,350 - 20,000 - 15,673

NPV = -15,323

You hit the lottery! You get offered $10 million now or $1 million a year for 13 years. Assume a 3 percent interest rate. Which would you choose and why

Answers

Answer:

I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million

Explanation:

To determine which option i would choose, i have to calculate the present value of the second option

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 13 = $1 million

I = 3%

Present value = $10,634,955

I would choose to receive $1 million for 13 years because the present value of the cash flows is greater than 10 million - $10,634,955 > $10,000,000

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Option 2 should be considered since it contains more amount of present value as compared to option 1.

Calculation of the present value:

In option 1, it offered $10 million or $10,000,000

While in option 2, the interest rate is 3% and the time period is 13 years Also, the payment is $1 million

So here we need to determine the present value

PV = PMT x (1 - (1+i)-n / i )

PV = 1,000,000 x (1 - (1+0.03)-13 / 0.03 )

PV = 10,634,955.33

Based on this, the option 2 should be considered.

At the beginning of 2020, Pronghorn Company acquired a mine for $1,732,800. Of this amount, $112,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 11,600,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Pronghorn incurred $190,400 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $44,800. During 2020, 2,718,000 units of ore were extracted and 2,310,000 of these units were sold.

Required:
a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.

Answers

Answer: a. $434880

b. $369,600

Explanation:

a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.

Depletion Rate can be calculated as:

= (Mine cost - Value of land + Obligation + Development cost)/Ore extracted

= ($1,732,800 - $112,000 + $44,800 + $190,400)/$11,600,000

= $1856000/$11600000

= 0.16

Total amount of depletion for 2020 will now be calculated as:

= Depletion Rate × Ore extracted

= 0.16 × 2,718,000

= $434880

b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.

This will be calculated as the totsl depletion for 2014 divided by the value of the amount of ore that was extracted multiplied with amount of unit sold. This will be:

= (434,880/2,718,000) × 2,310,000

= 0.16 × 2,310,000

= $369,600

We would like to invest $10,000 into shares of companies XX and YY.

Shares of XX cost $20 per share. The market analysis shows that their expected return is $1 per share with a standard deviation of $0.5.
Shares of YY cost $50 per share, with an expected return of $2.50 and a standard deviation of $1 per share.

Returns from the two companies are independent. In order to maximize the expected return and minimize the risk (standard deviation or variance), is it better to invest

a. All $10,000 into XX
b. All $10,000 into YY
c. $5,000 into each company

Answers

Answer:

c. $5,000 into each company

Explanation:

Let X be the actual (random) return from each share of XX, and  Y be the actual return from each share of YY. Computing the returns from each option:

A) Investing $10,000 into XX

Given that variance = (standard deviation)²

Since XX cost $20 per share, only 500 shares can be bought.

Expected value = 500 * E(x) = 500 * 1 = 500

Variance = 500² * Var(x) = 500² * 0.5² = 62500

B) Investing $10,000 into YY

Since YY cost $50 per share, only 200 shares can be bought.

Expected value = 200 * E(y) = 200 * 2.5 = 500

Variance = 200² * Var(y) = 200² * 1² = 40000

C) Investing $5,000 into each company

Since XX cost $20 per share and YY cost $50 per share, only 250 shares of XX and 100 shares of YY can be bought.

Expected value = 250 * E(x) + 100 * E(y) = 250 * 1 + 100 * 2.5 = 500

Variance = 250² * Var(x) + 100² * Var(y) = 250² * 0.5² + 100² * 1 = 25625

Since all options have the same expected return, but option C has the lowest variance hence it is the least riskiest. So the best option is C

What is the contra-expense account?

A contra expense account is a general ledger expense account that will intentionally have a credit balance instead of the debit balance that is typical for an expense account. In other words, this account's credit balance is contrary to or opposite of the usual debit balance for an expense account.

Another description of a contra expense account is an account that reduces or offsets the amounts reported in another general ledger expense account. Contra accounts are presented on the same financial statement as the associated account, typically appearing directly below it with a third line for the net amount. Accountants use contra accounts rather than reduce the value of the original account directly to keep financial accounting records clean.

Key examples of contra accounts include accumulated depreciation and allowance for doubtful accounts.

The 2016 income statement showed an interest expense of $94,500 and the company paid out $146,000 in cash dividends during 2016. The firm’s net capital spending for 2016 was $970,000, and the firm reduced its net working capital investment by $126,000.
What was the firm's 2016 operating cash flow, or OCF? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

Answers

Answer: $589,500

Explanation:

The cash flow to the creditors in 2016 will be calculated as:

= $94,500 – ($1,590,000 - $1,405,000)

= $94,500 – $1,590,000 + $1,405,000

= -$90,500

For the shareholders, the cash flow in 2016 will be:

= $146,000 – [($151,000 + $2,960,000) – ($141,000 + $2,660,000)]

= -$164,000

Capital spending = $970,000

Cash flow due to the net working capital investment = -$126,000

OCF

= -$90,500 + (-$164,000) + $970,000 + (-$126,000)

= $589,500

Firms face competing pressures in the marketplace-how to achieve lower costs through proven approaches to production, while looking at how to maximize their effectiveness in local markets. A firm's choice of strategy must reflect these pressures, and the firm knows that the dynamics of competition may require changes in strategy. Pressures for local responsiveness mean that a firm may not be able to realize the full benefits from economies of scale, learning effects, and location economies. Customization of products brings benefits, but it also limits the firm's ability to realize significant scale economies and location economies. Companies generally choose from four main strategic postures: a global standardization strategy, a localization strategy, a transnational strategy, or an international strategy. The appropriateness of each strategy varies given the competitive realities and the firm's core competences.
Read the case below and answer the questions that follow.
Your firm has been a leader in several lines of fast-moving consumer goods. The firm has been following a localization strategy. Your products have been distributed in a number of foreign markets and regions, and they are distinct enough in local markets to respond to national tastes and preferences. Competition, however, has become more intense, with many competitors using lower cost structures to undercut your prices and still satisfy your customers.
The firm must decide what kind of strategy it needs to follow to meet the demands of the local markets as well as the increased competitive pressures on cost.
a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.
b. monitor and adapt to changing customer tastes in a large number of foreign markets.
c. compete effectively in more than one international market.

Answers

Answer:

a. leverage skills and products associated with a firm's core competencies from one country to another.

Explanation:

Company A can still meet the demands of the local markets and the competitive pressures it is facing by utilizing its core competences and deploring its products internationally.  A hybrid of localization and international strategies would be more appropriate.  This hybrid approach will enable the company "to realize the full benefits from economies of scale and learning effects, without losing on location economies," as desired in the case study.

The surface and catalyst are heated and simultaneously exposed to a higher-temperature, low-pressure gas that contains a mixture of chemical species from which the nanowire is to be formed.
