Answer:
Strategy - Prestige Pricing
Product - Female Bags
Explanation:
Another term for this is Premium Pricing or Image Pricing.
It's a pricing strategy where a product's price is set very high in order to create the impression that it is of very high quality. This strategy is mostly used if it is discovered that keeping the prices low will discourage sales or at best leave it dormant.
In order to use this strategy successfully, the manufacturers always take particular care to differentiate the product by including additional features to the product such as using high-quality materials.
The target market for this product is usually the influencers and love to show off. In order words, they are more particular about their image.
For this strategy to work, the manufacturer has to be consistent in the brand positioning and pay exceptional attention to fine details and finishing. It is also important to target consumers with high spending ability.
A real-world example of a business that uses this strategy is Nike.

Four Types of Organizational Culture Organizational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values that develops within an organization and guides its members' behavior. Culture can vary considerably across organizations, with each placing different emphases on risk-taking, treatment of employees, teamwork, rules and regulations, conflict and criticism, and rewards. This activity is important because different types of cultures are better suited to achieving different strategic goals, and managers can use this knowledge to their benefit.
The goal of this activity is to challenge your knowledge of the four types of organizational culture.
Read the description of an organization's culture and write each name to the type of organizational culture it best depicts.

What are the nominal and effective costs of trade credit under the credit terms of 3/10, net 30? Assume a 365-day year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
Nominal cost of trade credit = [Discount percentage / (100- Discount Percentage) ] * [ 365 Days / (Credit's Outstanding - Discount Period) ]
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/30 - 10
Nominal cost of trade credit = 3/97 * 365/20
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.030928 * 18.25
Nominal cost of trade credit = 0.564436
Nominal cost of trade credit = 56.44%
Effective cost of trade = (1 + Periodic rate)^n - 1
Periodic rate = 0.03 / 0.97 = 0.3093
Periods/year = 365 / (30-10) = 18.25
Effective cost of trade = (1 + 0.3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = (1 .3093)^18.25 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 1.74354232297 - 1
Effective cost of trade = 0.74354232297
Effective cost of trade = 74.35%
Answer:
nominal cost of credit = 56.44% ;EAR = 74.35%
Explanation:
1.nominal cost of credit =
"(discount rate /1 - discount rate )" or part 1
multiply by "365/(days the credit is outstanding -discount days )" or part 2 .Thus ,nominal cost of credit= (0.03/1-0.03 )*(365 /30 -10)= part 1* part 2 = 0.030928*18.25=56.44%
2.EAR =[ (1 - "part 1 ") ^("part 2") ] - 1= [ (1+0.030928)^18.25 ] -1 =1.74348 -1 = 0.74348 or 74.348% or 74.35%
If annualized interest in the U.S. and France are 9% and 13%, respectively, and the spot value of the French franc is $0.1109, then at what 180-day forward rate will interest rate parity hold
Answer:
0.1130 FF/$
Explanation:
Spot value = 0.1109 FF/$
Interest rate in US for 180 days = 9%*180/365 = 0.044384
Interest rate in France for 180 days = 13%*180/365 = 0.06411
Forward rate = Spot value*(1+Interest rate in US)/(1+Interest rate in France)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1+0.06411)/(1+0.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109*(1.06411/1.044384)
Forward rate = 0.1109* 1.018888
Forward rate = 0.1130 FF/$

Eggz, Inc., is considering the purchase of new equipment that will allow the company to collect loose hen feathers for sale. The equipment will cost $430,000 and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold for $48,000 at the end of the project in 5 years. Sales would be $279,000 per year, with annual fixed costs of $48,000 and variable costs equal to 35 percent of sales. The project would require an investment of $27,000 in NWC that would be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 8 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV
Answer:
NPV = $91,412.60
Explanation:
initial outlay = $430,000 (equipment cost) + $27,000 (increase in net working capital) = $457,000
revenue per year (without considering depreciation) = {[$279,000 x (1 - 35%)] - $48,000} x (1 - 21%) = $105,346.50
additional revenue generated by bonus depreciation = $430,000 x 21% = $90,300
after tax salvage value = $48,000 x (1 . 21%) = $37,920
Cash flow year 0 = -$457,000
Cash flow year 1 = $105,346.50 + $90,300 = $195,646.50
Cash flow year 2 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 3 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 4 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 5 = $105,346.50 + $37,920 + $27,000 = $170,266.50
discount rate = 8%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $91,412.60
Under corporate law, corporations are given the same rights as
A. the Federal Reserve
B. intellectual property
C. individuals
D. foreign countries
Answer:
C. individuals
Explanation:
The law treats corporates organizations as legal citizens. It gives them commercial right to own property, enter into contracts, and incur debts. Corporates have tax obligations, just like individuals. They can sue and be sued.
The law considers a corporate as a separate entity from its owners. It distinguishes the assets and liabilities of the institutions as different from those of its founders. A corporate has an infinite life. The death of its shareholders does not automatically mean its termination.

Wells Technical Institute (WTI), a school owned by Tristana Wells, provides training to individuals who pay tuition directly to the school. WTI also offers training to groups in off-site locations. Its unadjusted trial balance as of December 31, 2017, follows. WTI initially records prepaid expenses and unearned revenues in balance sheet accounts. Descriptions of items a through h that require adjusting entries on December 31, 2017, follow.
Additional Information:
a. An analysis of WTI's insurance policies shows that $2,807 of coverage has expired.
b. An inventory count shows that teaching supplies costing $2,433 are available at year-end 2017.
c. Annual depreciation on the equipment is $11,227. Annual depreciation on the professional library is $5,614.
d. On November 1, WTI agreed to do a special six-month course (starting immediately) for a client. The contract calls for a monthly fee of $2,900, and the client paid the first five months' fees in advance. When the cash was received, the Unearned Training Fees account was credited. The fee for the sixth month will be recorded when it is collected in 2018. On October 15, WTI agreed to teach a four-month class (beginning immediately) for an individual for $2,619 tuition per month payable at the end of the class. The class started on October 15, but no payment has yet been received. (WTI's accruals are applied to the nearest half-month; for example, October recognizes one-half month accrual.) WTI's two employees are paid weekly. As of the end of the year, two days' salaries have accrued at the rate of $100 per day for each employee. The balance in the Prepaid Rent account represents rent for December.

Explanation:
1. Prepare a single-step income statement for 2017. Shares outstanding during 2017 were 100,000. (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. $1.48.)
The income from continuing operations for earnings per share was calculated as:
= 285000/100000
= $2.85
The loss on discontinued operations was calculated as:
= 35190/100000 shares
= 0.35

Suppose that in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of a hamburger is $7 each.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or nonbinding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each.
Answer:
Price Ceiling regulations prohibit the price of a good or service from being higher than a set price known as the Price Ceiling.
Price Floor regulations prohibit the price of a good or service from being lower than a set price known as the Price floor.
When either Price Ceiling or Floor is said to be nonbinding, it means that it does not affect the market/ equilibrium price of the good or service.
Binding Ceilings or Floors affect the market/ equilibrium price.
Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so. BINDING PRICE CEILING.
The Fast-food restaurants cannot pay above a certain amount which makes this a Price Ceiling. It is binding because the Market wants to pay higher wages to hire more people but cannot therefore the price ceiling is having an effect on the equilibrium price.
The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each. BINDING PRICE CEILING.
Fast-food restaurants are not allowed to sell above the set price of $5 which makes this a price ceiling. It is Binding because the equilibrium price is $7 which means that fast-food restaurants are forced to sell below the equilibrium price therefore this Price ceiling affects the equilibrium price.
Answer:
See Below..
Explanation:
1. Due to new regulations, fast-food restaurants that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so.
Price Ceiling and Binding
In the labor market, minimum wage laws are an example of a price floor while a cap on wages is an example of a price ceiling. Moreover, the impact of the minimum wage laws depends on the skill and experience of the worker. In this case, new regulations restrict fast-food restaurants from increasing wages and, thus, attracting more workers. This binding price ceiling causes a shortage of workers in this labor market.
2. The government prohibits fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more that $5 each.
Price Floor and Binding
A price ceiling is a legal maximum on the price at which a good can be sold. Therefore, prohibiting fast-food restaurants from selling hamburgers for more than a particular price is an example of a price ceiling. A binding price ceiling is a price ceiling that is set below the equilibrium price. Because the equilibrium price is $7 each for hamburgers, a legal maximum price of $5 is a binding price ceiling. A binding price ceiling will ultimately cause a shortage, while a non-binding price ceiling has no effect on the equilibrium price and quantity.

A Corporation sells a single product for $20 per unit. Last year, the company's sales revenue was $300,000 and its net operating income was $24,000. If fixed expenses totaled $96,000 for the year, the break-even point in unit sales was: A) 12,000 units B) 9,900 units C) 15,000 units D) 14,100 units
Answer:
A) 12,000 units
Explanation:
For computing the break even point in units sales first determine the variable cost which is shown below:
= Sales revenue - fixed expenses - net operating income
= $300,000 - $96,000 - $24,000
= $180,000
And, the variable cost per unit is
= $180,000 ÷ ($300,000 ÷ $20)
= $12
Now the break even point is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $96,000 ÷ ($20 - $12)
= 12,000 units
If a company paid $6,000 in advance for a year's worth of insurance, how
much money would need to be adjusted after one month?
O A. $500
B. $6,000
O C. $1,000
O D. $3,000
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
because 500x12 = 6,000 if you need to pay 500 every month then you need to pay 6,000 every year because they are 12 months each year and 500x12 = 6,000

Orange Inc., an orange juice producer with a current debt-to-equity ratio of 2, is considering expanding its operations to produce toothpaste. Unsurprisingly, the toothpaste industry faces a different set of risks than the orange juice industry. However, the executives at Orange Inc. observe that Paste Inc., a toothpaste company, has a cost of equity of 12%, a cost of debt of 6%, and a debt-to-value ratio of 40%. Orange Inc. plans to finance its expansion into toothpaste production with 50% debt and 50% equity. The cost of debt for Orange Inc. is also 6%, and the corporate tax rate is 25%. Solve for the discount rate that Orange Inc. should use when evaluating whether to go forward with the expansion Note: Orange Inc. does not want to use the Adjusted Present Value method.
Appropriate Rate = 12.08%
Appropriate Rate = 9.60%
Appropriate Rate = 13.20%
Appropriate Rate = 8.85%
Assume Last Inc. has no cash on hand, but wants to take on a project that adds $30 million in market value to the firm's assets, and has an NPV of $20 million. The project requires an initial investment of $10 million. LastQ Inc. wants to maintain its 50% Debt to Value Ratio.
How much debt should LastQ issue, and how much should they pay stockholders in dividends?
Issue $30 million in debt, pay $5 million to shareholders
Issue $15 million in debt, pay $5 million to shareholders Issue $10 million in debt, pay $20 million to shareholders
Issue $20 million in debt, pay $8 million to shareholders
Answer:
Appropriate Rate = 8.85%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Paste Inc,
cost of debt (Kd) = 6% = 0.06
Cost of Equity Ke = 12% = 0.12
Weight of debt ; Wd = 40%
Weight of equity; We = 1 - 40% = 0.6
Pretax discount :
We * Ke + Wd * Kd
0.6 * 0.12 + 0.4 * 0.06 = 0.096
For orange :
Weight of debt (Wd) = 50% = 0.5
Weight of Equity (We) = 50% = 0.5
Cost of debt (Kd) = 6% = 0.06
Tax rate (r) = 25% = 0.25
Cost of Equity (Ke) :
Pretax discount + 1(pretax discount - cost of debt)
0.096 + 1(0.096 - 0.06)
0.096 + 0.096 - 0.06 = 0.132
WACC: for orange Inc.
We * Ke + Wd * Kd * ( 1 - tax rate)
0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * (1 - 0.25)
0.5 * 0.132 + 0.5 * 0.06 * 0.75
0.066 + 0.0225
= 0.0885
= 0.0885 * 100%
= 8.85%
Builders Corporation (Builders) is a general contractor. Builders wished to bid on a construction project and solicited bids from a variety of subcontractors. Four electrical subcontractors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, submitted bids to Builders. The bids were as follows: Alpha- $75,000; Beta- $85,000; Gamma- $90,000; Delta- $95,000. As Builders was preparing its bid on the construction project based upon the low bid submitted by Alpha, Builders’ president called Alpha and told him, "We won’t be able to do it with your present bid, but if you can shave off $5,000, I’m sure that the numbers will be there for us to get that project." Alpha responded, "No way! In fact, that bid we submitted was based on a $15,000 error; we can’t do it for a cent less than $90,000." Nevertheless, Builders submitted its bid for the construction project using Alpha’s original $75,000 bid. Builders was not awarded the construction job and subsequently sued Alpha. Alpha is liable for:________.
Answer:
Alpha is liable for nothing.
Explanation:
Builders requested Alpha to make a discount (which is considered a counteroffer) but Alpha rejected it. At this point there was no valid offer anymore, and luckily for Builders, they lost the bid. Since a counteroffer invalidates an original offer, Alpha didn't have any type of obligation with Builders to perform at $75,000. The new price between them was $90,000, take it or leave it. Builder's president made a mistake when he made his counteroffer and if they had won the contract, then they would have needed to look at the other offers.
Builders asked Alpha for a discount, however, Alpha declined. At this moment, there's no longer a legitimate offer, as well as fortunately for Builders, they dropped the bid.
Because a counteroffer nullifies an earlier commitment, Alpha was under no duty to Contractors to execute at $75,000. They agreed on new pricing of $90,000, accept or reject it.This same president make mistake when before he submitted his counteroffer because if they will indeed have just been awarded the contract, they would've had to examine the other proposals.Thus the statement above is correct.

What can you conclude about a firm in the short run from its marginal product numbers as its output approaches capacity production
Answer: Law of Diminishing returns would apply
Explanation:
The Law of Diminishing returns is used to describe the phenomenon where after a certain level of input, the output produced no longer increases at an increasing rate but instead starts increasing at a decreasing rate.
For instance;
Labor Output
2 4
4 8
6 16
8 20
10 22
Notice how at first the output increased by 4 then by 8 but then started increasing by 4 and then by 2. This is the Law of Diminishing Marginal returns and a reality that normally faces a firm in the short run as its output approaches capacity production.

A steel rolling mill can produce I-beams at the rate of 20 tons per week. Customer demand for the beams is 5 tons per week. To produce the I-beams, the mill must go through a setup that requires changing to the required rolling patterns. Each setup costs the mill $10,000 in labor and lost production. The I-beam cost the mill $2,000 per ton and has an inventory holding rate of 25 percent. Assume the plant operates for 50 weeks in a year. Using Microsoft Excel, calculate the following:
a) the optimal production batch size of the mill.
b) The maximum (highest) inventory level at the plant
c) The annual inventory holding cost
d) The annual setup cost of the plant
e) The annual product cost f) Total Annual Inventory Cost (TAIC)
Answer:
A) 114 tons
C) $22800
D) $22807.02
Explanation:
Given Data:
annual holding cost (H) = 25% * $2000
setup cost (s) = $10000
production rate = 20
weekly demand = 5 tons
first we have to calculate the Annual demand , holding cost and the usage rate:
Annual demand = 5 tons * 52 weeks
= 260 tons
Holding cost (H) = 25% * $2000
= $500
Usage rate = (production rate) / (customer demand)
= 20 / 5 = 4 tons
A) Optimal production batch size of the mill
Qp = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} } * \sqrt{\frac{P}{P-u} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*260*10000}{500} } * \sqrt{\frac{20}{20-4} }[/tex]
= 114 tons
C) The annual inventory holding cost
Annual holding cost
= [tex]\frac{Imax}{2} * H[/tex]
Imax = ( Qp / P ) (p-u)
= (114 / 20 ) ( 20 - 4 )
= 91.2 tons
therefore Annual holding cost : = ( 91.2 / 2) * 500 = $22800
D) Annual setup cost of the plant
= [tex]\frac{D}{Qp} * S[/tex]
D = 260
Qp = 114
S = $10000
hence Annual setup cost of the plant
= (260/114) * 10000
= $22807.02
