Answer: Henry should purchase this plant as it pays back in less than the 6 years it will have to be replaced in.
Payback period = 3.7 years
Explanation:
Payback period is a capital budgeting strategy that shows how long it will take for cash inflow to pay off the original investment.
The formula is;
= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback
Year before payback
= 1,200,000/ 325,000
= 3.69
= 3 years
Cashflow remaining
= 1,2000,000 - (325,000 * 3)
= $225,000
= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback
= 3 + 225,000/325,000
= 3.69
= 3.7 years

How is a Lorenz curve used to represent a nation's income distribution? A. The more bowed the curve the more unequal the distribution of income over one's lifetime B. The more bowed the curve the more equal the distribution of income. C. The closer the Lorenz curve is to a straight line, the more unequal the distribution of income. D. The closer the Lorenz curve is to a straight line, the more equal the distribution of income.
Answer:
D. The closer the Lorenz curve is to a straight line, the more equal the distribution of income.
Explanation:
Lorenz curve, a curve often used in socioeconomics, is a curve that depicts the level or state of the wealth or income distribution in a given society, country, or economy.
The curve in its attempt to depicts the nation's income distribution indicates that the closer a straight line, the more equal the distribution of income and vice versa.
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
You are CEO of Eastco, and you recently paid $58,000 or about 2x revenue (well under industry average) to purchase Westco, which makes a product nearly identical to yours. This move will allow you to operate in both regions (East and West) of the country. If you combine the markets, the total Fixed Cost would be $11,000 per month, and your larger purchase size will allow you to advantageous terms for your raw materials, meaning VC will be $4 per unit. Demand and MR in the combined market is as follows:
Qd = 600 - 6P
MR = 100 - 0.333Q
A) Compute your profit in the combined market. Additional analysis shows that demand and fixed costs are different in the 2 regions. The West has the following demand and Mg:
Qd = 300 - 4P
MR = 75 - 0.5Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the West are $5000/month. While the East is a less price sensitive market:
Qd = 300 - 2P
MR = 150 - Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the East are $6000/month. The area manager from the East suggests you use a strategy that charges each market a separate price. If you operate in separate markets, the VC associated with each unit is $5.
B) Calculate your profits using this strategy. What is this strategy called?
C) What strategy do you suggest in the Long Run?
Answer:
Profit in the combined market OR Combined profit is
π = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 11,000 dollars
Explanation:
NOTE: The second or B part of the question is incomplete hence only answers to A part are provided
(A) The data given are:
TFC = $11,000 /month
TVC = $4 /unit = $4Q
QD = 600 - 6P
MR = 100 - 0.333Q
The data derived from this are:
TC = TFC + TVC = 11,000 + 4Q
PROFIT = TR - TC
TR = ∫MR = ∫(100 - 0.333Q) = 100Q - 0.1665Q²
PROFIT = 100Q - 0.1665Q² - 11,000 - 4Q
PROFIT = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 11,000 dollars
If the money used to purchase WestCo is factored in, then you'll subtract it from this profit. That will be;
PROFIT = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 69,000 dollars

The petitie sportswear buyer places the following order: 36 pants costing $10.75 each48 pants costing $15.50 each24 pants costing $17.50 eachShipping charges were 6%of the billed costs. To find the dollar amount of shipping charges, find the total amount of billed costs. Multiply the number of pants to the cost of each pants and find the sum toal:36 pants $10.75 = $38748 pants $10.75 = $74424 pants $10.75 = $420Then find the sum of each cost to find the gross sales. So the sum of 387, 744 and 420 is 1,551. So the total amount of billed costs is $1,551,000.
Answer:
The dollar amount of the shipping charges is:
$93.06
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
36 pants at $10.75 = $387
48 pants at $15.50 = $744
24 pants at $17.50 = $420
108 pants = $1,551
Shipping charges 93.06 (6% of $1,551)
Total billed costs = $1,644.06
The shipping charges of 6% are applied on the total product costs of $1,551 to obtain $93.06. The cost of each purchase of a line of pants is computed by multiplying the line's quantity with its per unit cost. Then the different costs are added together before applying the 6% shipping charges.

How should the company treat the cost of $500,000 of the old production line in evaluating the rebuilding plan

the $500,000 that the old production line costed must be treated as a sunk cost. Sunk costs are costs that have already been incurred and the firm cannot recover them no matter what they do. in this case, since ankle-length skirts are out of fashion, the production is useless and is worth $0.

For the past six years, the stock price of Slippery Rock Mining has been increasing at a rate of 6.6 percent per year. Currently, the stock is selling for $73 per share and has a required return of 9.1 percent. What is the dividend yield?
Answer:
2.50%
Explanation:
The dividend yield can be computed by dividing annual dividend by share price. As the dividend is not given in the question, we will find the dividend first by the required return formula and then divide it by share price in order to calculate the yield.
DATA
Annual dividend =?
Growth rate = 6.6%
Share price = $73
Required return = 0.1%
Solution
Required return = (D1/price) + growth rate
0.091 = (D1 / 73) + 0.066
0.025 = D1 / 73
D1 = 1.825
Dividend yield = (D1 / price) * 100
Dividend yield = (1.825 / 73) * 100
Dividend yield = 2.50%

What would happen if the government subsidized consumption of this product because it has positive externalities in consumption
Answer:
If a product has postive externalities, it means that it benefits society in some way that is not reflected in the product's price, supply and demand.
Explanation:
This causes economic distortion in which the possible benefit of the product are less than ideal.
For this reason, governments can subsidize goods and services that have postiive externalities, with the effect of bringing about the full benefit of the good or service to society.
A typical example is education, which is not a product, but a service. Education has a lot of positive externalities: it makes societies more educated and productive, even more peaceful. This is why the government heavily subsidizes education, both in primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.

Liabilities 28,700
December 31, 2011
Assets 38,000
Liabilities ?
During year 2011
Owner investments 6,000
Net income (loss) 8,300
Owner cash
withdrawals 3,500
Answer:
$17,100
Explanation:
For computing the ending equity first we have to determine the beginning equity which is shown below:
As we know that
Accounting equation comprise of
Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity
$35,000 = $28,700 + stockholder equity
So, the stockholder equity is
= $35,000 - $28,700
= $6,300
Now the ending equity is
= beginning equity + owner investments + net income - withdrawls
= $6,300 + $6,000 + $8,300 - $3,500
= $17,100
Use the information presented in Midwestern Mutual Bank's balance sheet: Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity Reserves $175 Deposits $1,400 Loans $700 Debt $225 Securities $875 Capital (owners' equity) $125 Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves. This would increase the reserves account and____the_____account. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of to a new value of_____. Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?A. It specifies a minimum leverage ratio for all banks. B. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank. C. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of the depositors.
Answer:
1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.
The bank borrowed $100 to supplement their reserves which increased the reserves account. It will also increase the debt account to reflect the liability.
2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 14 to a new value of 14.8.
Leverage is calculated as;
Original leverage = Total assets/ Capital
= ( 175 + 875 + 700)/125
= 14
New Leverage = ( 175 + 875 + 700+ 100 increase in reserves)/125
= 14.8
3. C. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of the depositors.
Capital is held by banks as a safeguard against people defaulting on loans because loans are derived from the money deposited by depositors and will need to be paid back to them. If a loan is defaulted on therefore, the bank pays the depositor from the capital it holds.
