Answer:
D) Susie would buy more massages and fewer rounds of golf,as predicted by the substitution effect.
Explanation:
Let's check the utility that Susie gets from consuming these products.
The second round of golf gives her 20 units of satisfaction at $20 = 20/20 = 1
The third massage gives her 30 units of satisfaction at $30 = 30/30 = 1
But now the price the price for massage has come down to $15. The ratio of their prices would be
20/15 = 1.333
1.3 is greater than 1
So she should substitute golf for massages
Consider relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and remember the consumer price index (CPI) provides the price level in a country at any point in time. Assume CPI in the US is 165 in 2010 and 200 in 2015, and CPI in Canada is 170 in 2010 and 220 in 2015 (with base year as 2000). If the spot exchange rate was 0.7640 USD/CAD in 2010, what is it in 2015 if relative PPP holds
Answer:
0.7156 USD/CAD
Explanation:
Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:
S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)
==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period
==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period
==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country
==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.
Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country
I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%
I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%
On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:
S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)
S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996
S(1) = 0.764*0.936635
S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD
If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD

Your grandparents would like to share their fortune with you. They offer you money under one of the following scenarios: 1. $7,250 per year at the end of each of the next eight years. 2. $49,650 (lump sum) now 3. $98,650 (lump sum) eight years from now Calculate the present value of each scenario using an 8% discount rate. Which scenario yields the highest present value
Answer:
$98,650 (lump sum) eight years from now yields the highest present value.
Explanation:
This can be determined as follows:
1. Calculation of the present value of $7,250 per year at the end of each of the next eight years.
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = present value of $7,250 per year at the end of each of the next eight years = ?
P = Annual payment = $7,250
r = discount rate = 8% or 0.08
n = number of years = 8
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV =$7,250 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^8) / 0.08)
PV = $41,663.13
2. Calculation of the present value of $49,650 (lump sum) now
Since now is the present time, the present value of $49,650 (lump sum) now is still equal to $49,650.
3. Calculation of the present value of $98,650 (lump sum) eight years from now
This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ................... (2)
Where:
PV = present value of $98,650 (lump sum) eight years from now = ?
FV = future value or (lump sum) eight years from now = $98,650
r = discount rate = 8% or 0.08
n = number of years = 8
Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:
PV = $98,650 / (1 + 0.08)^8
PV = $53,297.53
Comparison of the present values
1. Present value of $7,250 per year at the end of each of the next eight years = $41,663.13
2. Present value of $49,650 (lump sum) now = $49,650
3. Present value of $98,650 (lump sum) eight years from now = $53,297.53
As can be seen from the above, $98,650 (lump sum) eight years from now yields the highest present value.

Easy-to-copy differentiating features: A. do not offer the promise of sustainable competitive advantage. B. are less expensive to integrate into a product or service offering. C. tend to create as much value for consumers as difficult-to-copy differentiating features. D. should be patented before other companies follow suit. E. lead to vigorous price competition.
Answer:
A. do not offer the promise of sustainable competitive advantage.
Explanation:
Easy-to-copy differentiating features refers to those features of an organization that typically differentiates them from their rivals in the same industry but are however, easy to be copied by another firm. Thus, it cannot produce a sustainable competitive advantage over the competitors of a business firm or company.
This ultimately implies that, easy-to-copy differentiating features do not offer the promise of sustainable competitive advantage because the end users (buyers) wouldn't find any difference between the company's product and the rival company that copied it.

The company's beta is 1.95, the market risk premium is 5.50%, and the risk-free rate is 4.00%. What is Dyer's current stock price? Select the correct answer. a. $13.66 b. $12.32 c. $11.65 d. $12.99 e. $14.33
Answer:
$11.65
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the return

Burke Tires just paid a dividend of D0 = $2.25. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, by 10% in Year 2, and at a constant rate of 5% in Year 3 and thereafter. The required return on this low-risk stock is 9.00%. What is the best estimate of the stock's current market value? Select the correct answer. a. $79.52 b. $78.00 c. $76.48 d. $77.24 e. $78.76
Answer:
c. $76.48
Explanation:
The value of the stock is the present value of future cash flows
First, calculate each year's dividend
First year dividend = D1 = D0 x ( 1 + first year growth rate ) = $2.25 x ( 1 + 30% ) = $2.925
Second year dividend = D2 = D1 x ( 1 + Second year growth rate ) = $2.925 x ( 1 + 10% ) = $3.2175
Second year dividend = D3 = D2 x ( 1 + Second year growth rate ) = $3.2175 x ( 1 + 5% ) = $3.378375
Now calculate the present value of each year's dividend
Present value of D1 = D1 / ( 1 + required return )^1 = $2.925 / ( 1 + 9.00% )^1 = $2.6834
Present value of D2 = D2 / ( 1 + required return )^2 = $3.2175 / ( 1 + 9.00% )^2 = $2.7081
Present value of D3 = [ D3 / ( Required return - Growth rate ) ] / ( 1 + required return )^2 = [ $3.378375 / ( 9.00% - 5.00% ) ] / ( 1 + 9.00% )^2 = $71.0878
Now take the sum of the present value of all the dividends to calculate the value of stock
Value of Stock = Sum of Present value of all dividend = Present value of D1 + Present value of D2 + Present value of D3 = $2.6834 + $2.7081 + $71.0878
Value of Stock = $76.4793
Value of Stock = $76.48
Alfa Co. produces a product that has a variable cost of $3.00 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $30,000. The product is sold for $5.00 per unit and the company desires to earn a target profit of $20,000. What is the amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 25,000
Break-even point (dollars)= $125,000
Explanation:
To calculate the number of units to be sold and the sales dollars required, we will use the break-even point analysis. The following formulas are required:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (30,000 + 20,000) / (5 - 3)
Break-even point in units= 25,000
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 50,000 / (2/5)
Break-even point (dollars)= $125,000
The amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit is $125,000.
Desired profitContribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin ratio=5-3/5
Contribution margin ratio=2/5
Contribution margin ratio=0.4
Desired profit= (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin ratio
Desired profit=(30,000 + 20,000) / 0.4
Desired profit=50,000/0.5
Desired profit=$125,000
Inconclusion the amount of sales that will be necessary to earn the desired profit is $125,000.

A portfolio consists of three stocks. There are 540 shares of Stock A valued at $24.20 share, 310 shares of Stock B valued at $48.10 a share, and 200 shares of Stock C priced at $26.50 a share. Stocks A, B, and C are expected to return 8.3 percent, 16.4 percent, and 11.7 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on this portfolio
Answer: 12.47%
Explanation:
The value of each stock will be gotten by their unit multiplied by the price.
Value of Stock A = 540 × 24 2 = 13068
Value of stock B = 310 × 48.1 = 14911
Value of stock C = 200 × 26.5 = 5300
Total value of stock = 33279
Weight of stock A = 13068 / 33279 = 0.393
Weight of stock B = 14911 / 33279 = 0.448
Weight of stock C = 5300 / 33279 = 0.159
The expected return on this portfolio will then be:
= (0.393 × 8.3) + (0.448 × 16.4) + (0.159 × 11.7)
= 12.47%

Commerce Corporation has a high probability of operating at 40,000 activity hours during the upcoming period, and lower probabilities of operating at 30,000 hours and 50,000 hours. The company's flexible budget revealed the following: 30,000 Hours 40,000 Hours 50,000 Hours Variable costs $ 135,000 $ 180,000 $ 225,000 Fixed costs 720,000 720,000 720,000 If Commerce operated at 35,000 hours, its total budgeted cost would be: Multiple Choice $810,000. $997,500. $787,500. $945,000. $877,500.
Answer:
Total cost= $877,500
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 135,000 / 30,000= $4.5
Unitary variable cost= 180,000 / 40,000= $4.5
Unitary variable cost= 225,000 / 50,000= $4.5
Now, the total cost for 35,000 hours:
Total cost= Unitary variable cost*total number of hours + fixed costs
Total cost= 4.5*35,000 + 720,000
Total cost= $877,500
A process in which computer software that uses statistical analysis, database technology, and artificial intelligence finds hidden patterns, trends, and connections in data so that business owners can make better marketing decisions and predictions about customers' behavior is known as ________. Group of answer choices Total Quality Management Data Mining Guerilla Marketing Individualized Marketing
Answer:
Data Mining
Explanation:
A database management system (DBMS) can be defined as a collection of software applications that typically enables computer users to create, store, modify, retrieve and manage data or informations in a database. Generally, it allows computer users to efficiently retrieve and manage their data with an appropriate level of security.
A data dictionary can be defined as a centralized collection of information on a specific data such as attributes, names, fields and definitions that are being used in a computer database system.
In a data dictionary, data elements are combined into records, which are meaningful combinations of data elements that are included in data flows or retained in data stores.
This ultimately implies that, a data dictionary found in a computer database system typically contains the records about all the data elements (objects) such as data relationships with other elements, ownership, type, size, primary keys etc. This records are stored and communicated to other data when required or needed.
A process in which computer software that uses statistical analysis, database technology, and artificial intelligence finds hidden patterns, trends, and connections in data so that business owners can make better marketing decisions and predictions about customers' behavior is known as data mining. It plays a significant role in the growth and development of a business and its products or services.
Practice Drawing Timelines!
Purpose: This section describes how to draw a timeline and visualizing the problem being presented. It is important because a time problem that is set up incorrectly will lead to incorrect answers. For each of the descriptions below, draw the timeline on your own.
Inserted a picture of your timeline (the picture can be a jpeg or pasted in a word document).
Criteria: Full points will be based three separate timelines attached as a picture. Your work should be original and not copied, borrowed, or obtained from another student (this would be cheating as defined by Texas Tech University and stated in the syllabus).
Consider an asset that generates $3,000 in 5 years and $5,000 in 1 year; discount rate - 6% (These are uneven cash flows- there is no pattern).
2. Consider an asset that pays $500 per year for 8 years (This is an annuity- it is the same cash flow, evenly spaced, for a finite time (it has an end)).
3. Consider an asset that pays $50 per year starting at the end of year 3 (This is a delayed perpetuity- it is the same cash flow evenly spaced forever, but does not begin until a future date).
Answer:
1. Since the last cash flow occurs at year 5, the timeline ends at 5th year.
2. Since the same cash flow for a finite time of 8 years, the timeline ends at 8th year.
3. The 3 dots at the end of the timeline indicates a perpetuity.
Explanation:
A timeline refers to a line that shows the timing and amount of cash flows. Therefore, we have:
1. Consider an asset that generates $3,000 in 5 years and $5,000 in 1 year; discount rate - 6% (These are uneven cash flows- there is no pattern).
Note: See number 1 in the attached photo for the timeline.
The fact that the last cash flow occurs at year 5 makes the timeline to end at 5th year.
It can also be seen in the timeline that the 6% discount rate is shown in between the previous period and the next.
2. Consider an asset that pays $500 per year for 8 years (This is an annuity- it is the same cash flow, evenly spaced, for a finite time (it has an end)).
Note: See number 2 in the attached photo for the timeline.
The fact that the same cash flow for a finite time of 8 years makes the timeline to end at 8th year.
3. Consider an asset that pays $50 per year starting at the end of year 3 (This is a delayed perpetuity- it is the same cash flow evenly spaced forever, but does not begin until a future date).
Note: See number 3 in the attached photo for the timeline.
It should be noted the 3 dots at the end of the time line indicates a perpetuity.
