To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises:

Dairy King
Advertise Doesn't Advertise
Creamland Advertise 10,10 18, 2
Doesn't Advertise 2,18 11,11

For example, the upper right cell shows that if Creamland advertises and Dairy King doesn't advertise, Creamland will make a profit of $18 million, and Dairy King will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit-maximizing firms.

a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $ _______ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $_______ million if Dairy King not advertise.
b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of______ $ million if Dairy King does not advertise.

Suppose that both firms start off not advertising. If the firms act independently, what strategies will they end up choosing?

a. Creamland will choose not to advertise and Dairy King will choose to advertise.
b. Both firms will choose not to advertise.
c. Both firms will choose to advertise.
d. Creamland will choose to advertise and Dairy King will choose not to advertise.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 10, 18

b. 2, 11

c. Both firms will choose to advertise.

Explanation:

Interpreting the payoff matrix for all possible cases:

Both Advertise:

Dairy King profit = 10

Creamland profit = 10

Neither Advertise:

Dairy King profit = 11

Creamland profit = 11

Only Dairy King advertises:

Dairy King profit = 18

Creamland profit = 2

Only Creamland advertises:

Dairy King profit = 2

Creamland profit = 18.

Filling in the blanks:

a. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of $10 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $18 million if Dairy King not advertise.

b. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of $2 million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of $11 million if Dairy King does not advertise.

For both firms, if they choose not to advertise and the other firm advertises, they will have a much lower profit than their competitors. Therefore, the dominant strategy for either firm is to advertise since it will at least keep them even with their competitor (if both advertise).

The answer is c. Both firms will choose to advertise.

E-Eyes just issued some new preferred stock. The issue will pay an annual dividend of $14 in perpetuity, beginning 19 years from now. If the market requires a return of 4.4 percent on this investment, how much does a share of preferred stock cost today

Answers

Answer:

Price of stock = $181.78

Explanation:

PV of dividend in year 13

PV =A×(1- (1+r)^(-n)/r )

PV of dividend in (year 13) = 14/(0.044=318.18

PV of dividend in year 0

PV = Div× (1+r)^(-n)

Dividend in year 13, r-interest rate, n- number of years

PV in year 0 = 318.1818182 × 1.044^(-13)= 181.78

Price of stock = $181.78

Fill in the missing numbers for the following income statement. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Sales $668,600
Cost 431,300
Depreciation 103,700
EBIT
Taxes (24%)
Net Income

a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Answers

Answer:

a. $205,236

b. $24,888

Explanation:

a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700

= $133,600

Net income = EBIT - Taxes

= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)

= $133,600 - $32,064

= $101,536

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700

= $205,236

b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-

Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax

= $103,700 × 24%

= $24,888

Which of the following statements is most correct? a. All else equal, if a bond’s yield to maturity increases, its price will fall. b. All else equal, if a bond is down graded by the rating agencies its yield to maturity will increase. c. If a firm has two bond issues that are identical except one is subordinate to the other, the subordinate issue will have a higher yield to maturity than the other issue. d. A B and C are correct. e. None of the above are correct

Answers

Answer: d. A B and C are correct.

Explanation:

A bond's price and it's Yield to Maturity (YTM) are inversely related such that when Yield to Maturity rises, the price of the bond falls. This is a because a higher YTM signifies that the bond is riskier so it will compensate by being cheaper.

If a bond is downgraded by Ratings agencies then it means that the bond is now riskier. As it is riskier investors will charge more interest for taking on the risk. The interest is the YTM and so it rises.

A Subordinate bond means that if the company were to go into bankruptcy for instance, the Subordinate bond would only be paid for after the bond that is not Subordinated. This means that there is a chance that Subordinate bond holders will not get anything from the liquidation of the company. Investors will therefore charge a higher YTM to cater for the risk that this happens.

Vargas Company uses the perpetual inventory method. Vargas purchased 800 units of inventory that cost $9.00 each. At a later date the company purchased an additional 1,200 units of inventory that cost $10.00 each. Vargas sold 900 units of inventory for $13.00. If Vargas uses a FIFO cost flow method, the amount of cost of goods sold appearing on the income statement will be:

Answers

Answer:

$8200

Explanation:

FIFO means first in first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

The cost of the 900 units sold, would be:

800 x 9 = $7200

100 × $10 = $1000

Answers

Answer:

$95

Explanation:

average variable cost per unit = $65

average fixed cost per unit = $300,000 / 10,000 = $30

A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000.

The Investment cost will be:

Land costs $300,000

Building costs $600,000

Equipment costs $250,000

Additional working capital $100,000

=$1,250,000

Annual revenue $750,000

Jayne Butterfield, a single mother with three children, lived in Sacramento, California. Sarah Huckleberry also lived in California until she moved to New York City to open and operate an art gallery. Huckleberry asked Butterfield to manage the gallery under a one-year contract for an annual salary of $90,000. To begin work, Butterfield relocated to New York. As part of the move, Butterfield transferred custody of her children to her husband, who lived in London, England. In accepting the job, Butterfield also forfeited her husband's alimony and child-support payments, including unpaid amounts of nearly $45,000. Before Butterfield started work, Huckleberry repudiated the contract. Unable to find employment for more than an annual salary of $30,000, Butterfield moved to London to be near her children. She filed a suit in an California state court against Huckleberry, seeking damages for breach of contract. Should the court hold, as Huckleberry argued, that Butterfield did not take reasonable steps to mitigate her damages? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

No, the court should not hold in favor of Huckleberry.

Explanation:

The rule of mitigation that Huckleberry tries to use in her favor states that the non-breaching party (Butterfield) should have taken all the necessary steps to reduce her loss, e.g. take a job in New York. She probably argued that Butterfield leaving for England to meet with her children made things worse.

But in this case, Butterfield relied on Huckleberry's promise to organize her life and the well being of her children. Butterfield made a lot of changes and sacrifices in her life because of this, e.g. forfeiting unpaid alimony, transferring custody of her children , etc.

Moving to a different city or country requires a lot of work, expat life is not easy and not everyone can handle it. Butterfield took decisions that affected the lives of many people and she is not responsible for Huckleberry's breaching, the only party responsible for all this mess is Huckleberry and it is normal that Butterfield would want to go to where her children are.

Suppose a consumer has the following utility function defined over the 2 goods X and Y: a. If this consumer originally consumed 10 units of X and 24 units of Y, and if the consumption of X were increased to 12 units, how much Y would be would the consumer be willing to give up and maintain the initial level of satisfaction

Answers

Answer:

Y = 22 units (Approx)

Explanation:

Note:

The utility function is not given, the utility function is as follows.

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

So,

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

When X = 10 and Y = 24 units

U(10 ,24) = 2(10) + [tex]16(24)^{1/2}[/tex]

U(10 ,24) = 98.4

U(10 ,24) = 99 Units (Approx)

So,

U(X ,Y) = 2X + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

When X = 12 Find Y

99 units = 2(12) + [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

75 = [tex]16Y^{1/2}[/tex]

Y = 21.97

Y = 22 units (Approx)

Kansas Company acquired a building valued at $151,000 for property tax purposes in exchange for 12,000 shares of its $3 par common stock. The stock is widely traded and selling for $18 per share. At what amount should the building be recorded by Kansas Company

Answers

Answer:

The building would be recorded by Kansas Company for an amount of $216,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount should the building be recorded by Kansas Company we would have to calculate the value of the building with the following formula:

value of the building= shares exchanged*Market value per share

shares exchanged=12,000 shares

Market value per share=$18

Therefore, value of the building=12,000*$18

value of the building=$216,000

The building would be recorded by Kansas Company for an amount of $216,000

Liability policies, such as personal liability, professional malpractice, or business liability insurance, do NOT protect the insured against a. a personal injury on the insured's property, such as the mail carrier who slips and falls on the owner's sidewalk. b. intentional harm caused by the insured. c. someone injured by the insured away from home or business. d. claims for property damaged by the insured.

Answers

Answer:

b. intentional harm caused by the insured.

Explanation:

Liability insurance is a means to provide the insured party with some protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property, covering both legal costs and any payouts for which the insured party would be responsible if found legally liable.

Note that there are two types of liability coverage: bodily injury and property damage.  Most states in the US require liability coverages, subject to limits, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay when the incident occurs.  For example, a car accident can be expensive.  This is why there is a limit of compensation which an insurer can offer.

Rogers Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month.

Work in process Finished goods Cost of goods sold Total
Direct materials $2,380 16790 43930 $63,100
Direct labor 1710 16060 42020 $59,790
Manufacturing overhead applied 1520 9880 26600 $38,000
Total $5,610 $42,730 $112,550 $160,890

Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $1,000. The company allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of June after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to:

a. $5,570
b. $5,575
c. $5,645

Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease

Answers

Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase

Explanation:

Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.

ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.

More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.

Gould Corporation uses the following activity rates from its activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products: Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate Setting up batches $ 59.71 per batch Processing customer orders $ 73.05 per customer order Assembling products $ 4.40 per assembly hour Data concerning two products appear below: Product K91B Product F65O Number of batches 92 63 Number of customer orders 42 56 Number of assembly hours 496 903 How much overhead cost would be assigned to Product K91B using the activity-based costing system

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate

Setting up batches $ 59.71 per batch

Processing customer orders $ 73.05 per customer order

Assembling products $ 4.40 per assembly hour

Product K91B

Number of batches 92

Number of customer orders 42

Number of assembly hours 496

We were given the allocation rates, all we need to do is allocate based on actual allocation base:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Product K91B= 59.71*92 + 73.05*42 + 4.4*496

Product K91B= $10,743.82

2.Dr Cash 25,000

Dr Accumulated Depreciation 13,600

Dr Loss on sale 1,400

Cr Equipment - Tractor 40,000

Explanation:

1.Calculation of the gain or loss on the sale of Strawberry Fields

Using this formula

Depreciation per year = (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life

= (40,000-6,000)/5

A company received a bank statement showing a balance of $78,000. Reconciling items included outstanding checks of $2,400 and a deposit in transit of $9,400. What is the company's adjusted bank balance

Answers

Answer:

Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000

Explanation:

Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.

To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.

For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:

Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)

Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000

Note:

outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)

deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.

Platen purchased inventory on August 17 and received an invoice with a list price amount of $5,900 and payment terms of 4/10, n/30. Platen uses the net method to record purchases. For what amount should Platen record the purchase

Answers

Answer:

$5,664

Explanation:

Calculation of the amount that Platen should record the purchase.

Using this formula

List price -(Percentage of payment term × list price)

Let plug in the formula

$5,900 -(4%×5,900 )

1. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.

if unit sales increase by 20%, then profits should increase by 80%

2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20%

A. What is net operating income?

(10,000 x 1.2 x $20) - (10,000 x 1.2 x $8) - $90,000 = $240,000 - $96,000 - $90,000 = $54,000

B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?

net operating income increased from $30,000 to $54,000 (an 80% increase)

Explanation:

selling price $20

variable costs $8

contribution margin $12

break even point = $90,000 / $12 = 7,500 x $20 = $150,000

margin of safety = (current sales - break even) / current sales = $50,000 / $200,000 = 25%

degree of operating leverage = (quantity x contribution margin) / [(quantity x contribution margin) - fixed costs] = (10,000 x $12) / ($120,000 - $90,000) = $120,000 / $30,000 = 4

or contribution margin / net profits = $120,000 / $30,00 = 4

Review the "Types of Distribution Channels" study material. Explain why the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy. Provide an example of a well-known company's distribution channels and defend their choices. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessment and justify your response.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide a specific text, we can say that the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy because that is how companies deliver their products to consumers. This is of key importance due to the fact that there are numerous competitors selling the same or similar products so the company has to be precise and effective in delivering the product to match the client's expectations.

One good example of a successful company would be Underarmour. This Maryland company sells its products through direct distribution, uses intermediaries and brokers, has open many outlets where the company sells direct to the consumer, and also sells products through e-commerce portals. You can find Underarmour apparel in big chain stores, fashion stores, the internet, and sports stores.
