Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer 1

The available options are:

a. would; between 1,000 and 1,800; more than 100

•b. would; greater than 1,800; more than 100

•c. would not; less than 1,000; less than 300

•d. would not; between 1,000 and 1,800; less than 100

Answer:

•b. would; greater than 1,800; more than 100

1.  Would

2.  Greater than 1,800

3.  More than 100

Explanation:

Given that, Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a term that describes the measure of market concentration and is often used to assess the market competitiveness, most specifically during the pre- and post Mergers and Acquisitions transactions.

Also, it should be noted that, as a general rule, mergers that increase the HHI by more than 200 points in highly concentrated markets raise antitrust concerns.

Thus, a 100% market share, equates to Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) 10,000. However, since all the five firms are of equal sizes of Market shares then, the HHI is calculated as:

= 100%/ 5 firms = 20% each

= 20² + 20² + 20² + 20² + 20²

= 400 + 400 + 400 + 400 + 400

= 2000 (this is greater than 1800)

Then, since it is two firms that are merging,

The HHI is calculated as:

= 20² + 20²

= 400 + 400

= 800 ( an increase of 400, which is more than 100)

Hence, suppose an industry consists of five equal-sized firms. Two of the firms plan to merge. The merger WOULD raise anti-trust concerns at the Justice Department given that the Herfindahl index before the merger was GREATER THAN 1800 and the merger would cause the Herfindahl index to rise by MORE THAN 100.

Hommie Delicacies produces two products (Orapine and Banango) from a joint process. The joint cost of production is GH¢80,000. Five thousand units of Orapine can be sold at split-off for GH¢20 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢25 per unit. Ten thousand units of Banango can be sold at split-off for GH¢15 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢16 per unit. Advise Hommie on further processing each of the products? (5 marks)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Joint cost = 80,000

Orapine

cost of 5000 at 20 = 100,000

Incremental Cost of further processing =20,000

Incremental revenue = 5000* (25-20)= 25,000

Incremental income                                   5,000

Banango

cost of 10000 at 15 = 150,000

Incremental cost of further processing =  20,000

Incremental revenue = 10,000*(16-15) = 10,000

Incremental income = (10,000) loss

If  Orapine is processed further , there will be an incremental income of 5,000 compared to Banango that will bring an incremental loss of 10,00 if processed further.

Based on this , it is advised that Orapine be processed further while Banango is not

The next dividend payment by Skippy, Inc., will be $2.12 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 8 percent, forever. The stock currently sells for $43 per share. What is the required return

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 12.9 percent

Explanation:

This question will be solved using the Dividend Discount Model. It is one of the valuation methods used in valuing price of Equity/stock.

Po = D1/r - g

Po is the current worth of stocks

D1 is the next dividend paid

r is the rate of return

The law of demand states that:________ a. a higher price will lead to increased sales. b. consumers have unlimited demands for a good. c. the price can never be too high for some consumers. d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.

Answers

Answer:

d. quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that when the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded decreases when everything else remains constant as people are less willing to purchase a product when the price is higher. This means that the price and the quantity demanded are inversely related as when one variable increases the other one decreases. According to this, the answer is that the law of demand states that quantity demanded will vary inversely with the price of the good.

The other answers are not right because the law of demand states that the price and the quantity demanded of a good are inversely related, it doesn't refer to the price and sales, consumers don't have unlimited demands for a good as it is affected by the price and the price can be too high for some consumers as when the price increases, the quantity demanded decreases.

Answers

Answer: $13,800,000

Explanation:

Operating Cashflow for the year = EBIT * (1 - tax rate) + Depreciation.

Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) = Revenue - Operating Costs - Depreciation

= 25 - 7 - 6

= $12 million

Operating Cashflow = 12 * ( 1 - 35%) + 6

Accounts Receivable has a balance of $ 5 comma 000​, and the Allowance for Bad Debts has a credit balance of $ 420. The allowance method is used. What is the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable after a $ 140 account receivable is written​ off?

Answers

Answer:

$4,580

Explanation:

since we are using the allowance method, the journal entry to record the write off is:

Dr Allowance for bad debts 140

    Cr Accounts receivable 140

So the accounts receivable balance = $5,000 - $140 = $4,860

the allowance for bad debts balance = $280

accounts receivable net balance = $4,860 - $280 = $4,580

Allowance for bad debts accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable.

Answers

Answer:

dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice

Explanation:

I will first try to explain what the concept means. just in time processing is an inventory strategy that has to do with the ordering of materials at short notice and receiving these items just in time for the production process. It decreases inventory costs and waste and also raises efficiency since goods are only going to be received as they are needed for production.

Therefore the correct answer is: dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice.

n the current year, the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid the following amounts: $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. In addition, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year. Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership. How much and what type(s) of income must Donald report for the tax year?

Answers

Answer: $75,000 ordinary income; $3,000 of long-term capital gains.

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. Also, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year and that Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership.

From the question, the ordinary income of the firm will be the difference between the revenue gotten and the $50,000 paid in rent and utilities which is an expense. This will be:

= $200000 - $50000

= $150000

The income from capital gain = $6000

Since, Donald will get 50% of what the partnership makes, thus will be:

50% of $150,000 ordinary income which is (50/100 × $150,000) = $75,000 and 50% of $6000 capital gain which will be $3,000.

= 50

Therefore, Donald will get $75000 of the ordinary income and $ 3000 of the capital gain.

Just Right Incorporated is considering the option of an extra dividend versus a share repurchase and the impact of both decisions on the firm. Just Right plans to spend $85,000 in respect of both scenarios. Just Right’s current earnings are $2.10 per share, and the stock currently sells for $45 per share. Just Right currently has 5,000 shares outstanding. You own one share of stock in this company. If the company issues the dividend, what will your total investment be worth?

Answers

Answer:

The total investment will be "28".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Total dividend amount

= $85,000

Current earnings per share

= $2.10

Total purchased amount

= $85,000

Currently sell stock

= $45 per share

Now,

⇒  [tex]Dividend \ per \ share=\frac{85000}{5000}[/tex]

                                     [tex]=17[/tex]

⇒  [tex]Total \ investment=currently \ sell \ stock+dividend \ per \ share[/tex]

                                 [tex]=45+17[/tex]

                                 [tex]=62[/tex]

The number of repurchased shares will be:

=  [tex]\frac{total \ repurchase}{currently \ sells}[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac{85000}{45}[/tex]

=  [tex]1889[/tex]

So, Percentage of repurchased will be:

=  [tex]\frac{1889}{5000}[/tex]

=  [tex]37.78 \ percent[/tex]

When the share becomes bought, the overall investment value will be as follows:

=  [tex]45\times ( 1 -0.3778)[/tex]

= [tex]45\times 0.6222[/tex]

= [tex]27.999 \ or \ 28[/tex]

On December 2, Coley Corp. acquired 1,000 shares of its $2 par value common stock for $27 each On December 20, Coley Corp. resold 400 shares for $30 each. Which of the following is correct regarding the effect of the reselling of shares on the accounting equation?
A. Assets decrease
B. Liabilities decrease
C. Expenses increase
D. Stockholders' Equity increases

Answers

Answer:

D. Stockholders' Equity increases

Explanation:

Cost of the share being resale = 400 shares x $27 = $10,800

Proceeds on the resale of shares = 400 shares x $30 = $12,000

Profit / Gain on resale = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200

As there is a profit of $1,200 the stockholders equity will be increased on the reselling of share.

As the assets section is increased because more cash is received against the cost of those shares.

Pre-determined overhead absorption rate (POAR) = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted machine hours

The POAR is given as $14 per machine hour

Applied (absorbed) overhead = POAR × Actual machine hours

Applied overhead = $14 ×  3,500 =$49000

Applied overhead =$49,000

A bond is issued at par value when: Multiple Choice The bond is callable. Straight line amortization is used by the company. The market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. The bond pays no interest. The bond is not between interest payment dates.

Answers

Answer:

The market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a fixed income instrument that firms use as a source of longer-term funding or loans.

The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid.

A bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.

In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.

Hence, a bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance. Also, a bond that is being issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.

Generally, bond price is inversely proportional to its interest rate, thus, when interest rates are high, bond prices would be low and when interest rates are low, bond prices are high.
