Incomplete question. The full question read;
Penelope is the vice president of HR at a large utility company, Power Energy. The company prides itself for its culturally diverse workforce, including a leadership team that is demographically and culturally diverse. One of the company initiatives for recognizing the rights of different groups are the company sponsorship of affinity groups. Power Energy affinity groups (also referred to as employee network groups) include the Latino Association. The Black Tech Workers Group, The Gay Workers Alliance, and the Lesbian Rainbows. The groups receive both encouragement and a modest financial budget from the company. Penelope is the official coordinator for these groups and has helped each group form a charter and organize meetings. Last week she received an email from five workers who have decided to form another affinity group, Power Energy employees. 60 years of age and older. Skeptical of the purposes of such a group, Penelope holds a meeting with the group who is attempting to form the new affinity group, “ The Splendid Seniors. ” During the meeting, members of the Splendid Seniors explain to Penelope that the company has a large number of workers aged 60 and over who collectively have special interests. Ron, the leader of the group, explains that many senior workers like to talk about retirement, as well as their concerns that Power Energy might soon cut their retirement and medical benefits. Ron also pointed out that if the company can sponsor affinity groups for Latinos, Blacks, Gays, and Lesbians, the company should be willing to support a group organizing itself by age. Penelope explains to the group that an affinity group is usually reserved for Equal Opportunity Commission (EEO) protected groups such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. She also asks why outside of talk about future retirement, workers over 60 have any particular concerns that would warrant a company-sponsored affinity group. Ron replied, “ I and the rest of the group are disappointed. We thought that Power Energy really believed in demographic diversity. ” Penelope replied that she would give the subject of an affinity group for people 60 and over some more thought.
What do you recommend that Penelope do with the request to form a company-sponsored affinity group, The Splendid Seniors?
Answer:
She should support the request.
Explanation:
Remember, all the group employees want is to be recognized as an affinity group having the same rights as other existing affinity groups. In fact, her refusal to accept the group's requests only reinstills in them the desire to get equal treatment.
Also, The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 is against discrimination in the workplace on the basis of age (especially for employees who are 40 years of age and above), such as preventing them from having similar privileges as others.
Therefore, Penelope should reconsider her decision, and then grant the workers over 60 right to form their own affinity group.
Using the variable cost method, determine the selling price (rounded to the nearest dollar) for 30,000 units using the following data:
Variable cost per unit $15
Total fixed costs $90,000
Desired profit $150,000
a. $23
b. $10
c. $8
d. $15
Answer:
c. $8
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the selling price
First step is to calculate the Markup percent
Markup percent= (90,000 + 150,000) / (30,000 x 15)
Markup percent = .533
Now let calculate the selling price
Selling price=533 x $15 per unit
Selling price= $8
Therefore the Selling price will be $8

Costello Corporation reported pretax book income of $502,000. During the current year, the reserve for bad debts increased by $9,000. In addition, tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $42,000. Finally, Costello received $4,000 of tax-exempt life insurance proceeds from the death of one of its officers. Costello's deferred income tax expense or benefit would be:________.
Answer: $11220
Explanation:
Based on the scenario in the question, first, we.have to calculate the difference in net tax which will be:
= $42000 - $9000
= $33,000
Using a tax rate of let's say 34%, Costello's deferred income tax expense would be:
= $33,000 × 34%
= $33000 × 0.34
= $11220
Cromwell's Interiors is considering a project that is equally as risky as the firm's current operations.The firm has a cost of equity of 15.4 percent and a pretax cost of debt of 8.9 percent.The debt-equity ratio is .46 and the tax rate is 34 percent.What is the cost of capital for this project?A) 11.97 percentB) 12.40 percentC) 11.02 percentD) 11.62 percentE) 12.38 percent
Answer:
Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of equity = 15.4%
Pretax cost of debt = 8.9%
Debt-equity ratio = 0.46
Tax rate = 34%
Computation:
Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio
Equity multiplier = 1 + 0.46
Equity multiplier = 1.46
Weight of equity = 1 / Equity multiplier
Weight of equity = 1 / 1.46
Weight of equity = 0.685
Weight of Debt = 1 - Weight of equity
Weight of Debt = 1 - 0.685
Weight of Debt = 0.315
Cost of capital = [Weight of Debt x Pretax cost of debt] x (1-tax rate) + [Cost of equity x Weight of Debt ]
Cost of capital = [0.315 x 8.9% x (1-0.34)] + [15.4% x 0.6849]
Cost of capital = 12.40% (Approx)
It costs Crane Company $28 of variable costs and $15 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that sells for $76. A buyer in Mexico offers to purchase 3000 units at $30 each. Crane Company has excess capacity and can handle the additional production. What effect will acceptance of the offer have on net income
Answer:
Effect on income= $6,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable cost= $28
Selling price= $30
Number of units= 3,000
Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the allocated fixed costs.
Effect on income= 3,000*(30 - 28)
Effect on income= $6,000 increase
What is the percentage change in the PV of $100 due in 1 year when the interest rate changes from 5% to 10%?
a. Decreases by 60.6%
b. Decreases by 4.33%
c. Decreases by 4.5%
d. Does not change
e. Increases by 4.5%
f. Increases by 60.6%
Answer:
c. Decreases by 4.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the percentage change in the PV
First step is to calculate the present value when r is 5%
PV = 100 / (1 + 5%)^1
PV = $95.24
Second step is to calculate present value when r is 10%
PV = 100 / (1 + 10%)^1
PV = $ 90.91
Last step is to calculate the percentage change in the PV
Percentage change in the PV = (90.91 - 95.24) * 100 / 95.24
Percentage change in the PV = - 4.55% (Decrease)
Therefore the Percentage change in the PV Decreases by 4.5%

What are the arithmetic and geometric average returns for a stock with annual returns of:__________.
a) 4%,
b) 9%,
c) -6%,
d) 18%
Answer:
Arithmetic average return = 6.25%
Geometric average return = 5.89%
Explanation:
Annual returns of 4%, 9%, -6% and 18%
Arithmetic average return of the stock = ∑ 4%,9%,-6%,and 18% / n
= 25%/4
= 6.25%
Geometric average return formula = x1,*x2*x3 .....^1/n - 1
Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*(1-0.06)*1.18^1/4 -1
Geometric average return = 1.04*1.09*0.94*1.18^1/4 - 1
Geometric average return = 1.25789^1/4-1
Geometric average return = 1.0589 - 1
Geometric average return = 0.0589
Geometric average return = 5.89%
After year 3, free cash flows are expected to grow at a constant 5% a year indefinitely. The discount rate is 10%. The firm has debt of $50 million, cash of $20 million and has 10,000,000 shares outstanding. What is the price of the stock
Answer:
The price of the stock = $26.69
Explanation:

3 15 0.7513 11.2695
4 315 0. 7513 236.6595
Total $266.9368
The price of the stock = Total Present value of cash flows / Number of Shares outstanding
The price of the stock = $266,936,800 / 10,000,000 shares
The price of the stock = $26.69368
The price of the stock = $26.69
Thus, the price of the stock is $26.69 per share
Note:
Present value of future cash flows at year 3 = 15*(1.05/10%-5%) = 15*(1.05/5%) = 15 * 21 = $315 million
Discount rate for each year = 1/(1+r)^1 = 1/(1+0.10)^1 = 1/1.10 = 0.90909

EBIT +Depreciation - Taxes 58,800
Top-down
Tax-shield
Bottom-up
Answer:
EBIT + Depreciation - Tax
= (195000-92000-25200) + 25200 - 19450
= $83,550
Top down OCF = EBIT - (EBIT * Tax) + Depreciation
Top down OCF = (195000-92000-25200) - ((195000-92000-25200) * 0.25) +25200
Top down OCF = 77800 - 19450 + 25200
Top down OCF = $83,550
Tax shield OCF = (Sales - Exp) (1-tax) + (Dep * tax)
Tax shield OCF = (195000-92000) (1-0.25) + (25200 * 0.25)
Tax shield OCF = 77250 + 6300
Tax shield OCF = 83550
Bottom Up OCF = Net Income + Dep
Bottom Up OCF = (77800 * (1-0.25) + 25200
Bottom Up OCF = 83550

Comparing perfect first degree price discrimination to perfect competition one can conclude that: (i) Total social surplus is the same in either case (ii) Consumer surplus is higher under perfect
A. Only (1) is true
B. Only (ii) is true
C. Both (i) and (ii) are true
D. Neither (i) nor (i) is true
Answer:
C. Both (i) and (ii) are true
Explanation:
Under perfect price discrimination, consumer surplus doesn't exist since the supplier is selling the good or service at the maximum price that each consumer is willing to pay. This situation maximizes supplier surplus.
Under perfect competition, both supplier and consumer surplus exist.
Since total social surplus = supplier surplus + consumer surplus, total surplus should be the same in both situations.
A company buys a machine for $68,000 that has an expected life of 8 years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation.
