Explanation:
The next dividend payment by Zone, Inc., will be $2.08 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $42 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
10.95%
Explanation:
According to the gordon growth model,
the value of stock (price) = dividend / required return - growth rate
42 = 2.08/ r - 0.06
42(r-0.06) = 2.08
2.08/42 = r - 0.06
r = 10.95%

Explanation:
After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:
price elasticity Of demand for Ford Mustangs= -2.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros =1.5
Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline= -0.80
Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs= 3.00
a. Suppose the price Of a Camaro falls by 10%. With all else being equal, sales of Ford Mustangs would______ by_______%
b. If the price of gasoline increases by 20%, the quantity of Ford Mustangs would _________by_______%
Answer:
a. Decrease by 15%
b. decrease by 16%
Explanation:
a. As we know that
Camaro and ford mustangs would be considered as a substitute goods as the cross price elasticity of demand comes in positive so in the case when the price of camaro decrease so the quantity of Mustang would also decreased by 1.5 ×10% = 15%
b. As we know that Gasoline and mustang would be considered as complementary goods so if the price of gasoline would increase by 20% so the quantity of mustang be decreased by 0.80 × 20% = 16%
On January 1, Year 1, a contractor began work on a $3.2 million construction contract that is expected to be completed in 3 years. The contractor concludes that it is appropriate to recognize revenue over time using the input method based on costs incurred (cost-to-cost method). At the inception date, the estimated cost of construction was $2.4 million. The following data relate to the actual and expected construction costs:
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Costs incurred $720,000 $1,170,000 $1,110,000
Expected future costs $1,680,000 $810,000 $0
For this long-term construction contract, the contractor needs to calculate the estimated dollar values of the revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized each year. Complete the contractor's long-term construction contract using the information above. Write the appropriate amounts in the associated cells. Indicate losses by using a leading minus (-) sign. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. If no entry is necessary, enter a zero (0).

Shear, Inc., began operations in Year 1. Included in Shear’s Year 1 financial statements were credit loss expenses on accounts receivable of $1,400 and profit from an installment sale of $2,600. For tax purposes, the credit losses will be deducted and the profit from the installment sale will be recognized in Year 2. The applicable tax rate is 25%. In its Year 1 income statement, what amount should Shear report as deferred income tax expense?
Answer:
$300
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount should Shear report as deferred income tax expense
Using this formula
Deferred income tax expense=(installment sale Profit-Loss expenses on accounts receivable)*Tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Deferred income tax expense=(2,600-1,400)*25%
Deferred income tax expense=1,200*25%
Deferred income tax expense=$300
Therefore the amount that Shear should report as deferred income tax expense will be $300
Kara files her income tax return 64 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS. Along with the return, she remits a check for $15,400, which is the balance of the tax she owes. Note: Assume 30 days in a month.
Required:
Disregarding the interest element, enter Kara's penalty amount for each, failure to file and failure to pay.
Failure to pay________$
Failure to file________$
Answer:
failure to file :$2079
failure to pay:$231
Explanation:
given data
remits a check = $15,400
days in a month = 30
return = 64 days
solution
computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to pay
failure to pay will be
failure to pay = 0.5% of tax owed × number of months .......................1
failure to pay = 0.5% × $15400 × 3
failure to pay = $231
and
Computation of Kara's penalty amount for failure to file
failure to file will be
failure to file = (5% of tax owed × number of months or part thereof) - failure to pay penalty .......................2
failure to file = (5% × $15400 × 3) - $231
failure to file = $2310 - $231
failure to file = $2079
Eric wants to invest in government securities that promise to pay $1,000 at maturity. The opportunity cost (interest rate) of holding the security is 13.80%. Assuming that both investments have equal risk and Ericâs investment time horizon is flexible, which of the following investment options will exhibit the lower price?
a. An investment that matures in four years
b. An investment that matures in five years
Answer:
The second option which 5 years to maturity exhibited a lower price of
$523.95
Explanation:
In order to ascertain the option with lower, it is important we determine the price of each investment based on the fact the price of an investment opportunity today is the present value of its future cash flow is the maturity value of $1000 in both cases:
a.
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=price of investment
FV=future value=$1000
r= 13.80%.
n=4 years
PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^4
PV=$596.25
b.
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV=price of investment
FV=future value=$1000
r= 13.80%.
n=5 years
PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^5
PV= $523.95
An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $17. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $10,000. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be:
Answer:
C. a $10,000 decrease.
Explanation:
Calculation for what the effect on income would be
First step is to calculate Make
Make=$100,000 + $160,000 + $60,000
Make = $320,000
Second step is to calculate Buy
Buy= $20,000 × $17 = $340,000 – $10,000
Buy = $330,000
Now let calculate the effect on income
Effect on income = $320,000 – $330,00
Effect on income = –$10,000 decrease
Therefore the effect on income would be –$10,000 decrease

Distributors of cigarettes earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode as substitutes enter the market. Suppose Nebraska has scheduled a vote on the legalization of marijuana. Additionally, suppose that marijuana and cigarettes are substitutes and that the legalization of marijuana would lead to a decrease in the price of marijuana.
Given the relationship between marijuana and cigarettes, the legalization of marijuana would lead to_______in demand for cigarettes. Thus, distributors of cigarettes would likely____the legalization of marijuana.
Answer:
The question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:
For the first gap: increase/decrease.
For the second gap: support/oppose.
And the correct answers are: Decrease/oppose.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the microeconomics theory when it comes to concept of substitutes it refers to the relationship that exists between two goods that are similar in characteristics and therefore that they are probably to substitue one for the other in the market in the case when one's price is higher that the other. That is why that in this case presented, the legalization of the marijuana would obviously lead to a decrease in the demand of the cigarattes due to the fact that now the consumers will start to consume more of the other, letting the cigarette fall. And therefore that the distributors of cigarattes would likely be oppose to the legalization because it will affect their business.
Grimm Manufacturing is trying to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs with 15,000 units of ending work in process at 40% completion when there is a total 45,000 physical units. There are no beginning units in the department. Conversion costs occur evenly throughout the entire production period. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period
Answer: 36000 units
Explanation:
Ending work in process = 15,000 units
Completion rate = 40%
Total physical units = 45,000
The units completed will be:
= Total Units - Ending working in process
= 45,000 - 15,000
= 30,000
Since only 40% of the ending work in process inventory units has been completed, the completed units will then be:
= 15,000 × 40%
= 15000 × 0.4
= 6,000 units.
Then, the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period will be:
= 30,000 + 6,000
= 36,000 units.

Tierney Construction, Inc. recently lost a portion of its financial records in an office theft. The following accounting information remained in the office files:
Cost of goods sold $88,250
Work in process inventory, January 1, 2016 21,800
Work in process inventory, December 31, 2016 17,250
Selling and Administrative Expenses 20,400
Net Income 35,500
Factory overhead 21,650
Direct materials inventory, January 1, 2016 28,200
Direct materials inventory, December 31, 2016 15,375
Cost of goods manufactured 107,350
Finished goods inventory, January 1, 2016 35,675
Direct labor cost incurred during the period amounted to 2.5 times the factory overhead. The CFO of Tierney Construction, Inc. has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and to report to him by the end of tomorrow.
What should be the amount in the finished goods inventory at December 31, 2016?
Answer:
$54,775
Explanation:
The computation of the finished goods inventory is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of Goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Closing stock of Finished goods
Now
Ending Stock of Finished goods = Cost of goods manufactured + Opening stock of Finished goods - Cost of Goods sold
So,
Ending Stock of Finished goods is
= $107,350 + $35,675 - $88,250
= $54,775
Below, you are provided with four groups of different goods. These goods are differentiated by the number of likely substitutes that each has, and by the fraction of income that consumers spend on each. You will rank the goods within each group by their expected price elasticities of demand.
Consider the following three goods:
1. a red convertible car
2. a car
3. a convertible car.
Rank the demand of these three goods by their expected price elasticities of demand from most elastic to least elastic.
Answer and Explanation:
The red and the convertible cars would be considered similar i.e. they are perfect substitutes also the car and the convertible car would be the substitutes but it is not a perfect as the convertible car would be the subset of the car group plus the expenditure made on the convertible car would be high so here the elasticity is more
preparing its Manufacturing Overhead Budget for the fourth quarter of the year. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $1.70 per direct labor-hour; the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $116,000 per month, of which $30,000 is factory depreciation. If the budgeted direct labor time for December is 4,000 hours, then the predetermined manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour for December would be:
Tom is comparing two printers for his small business. The purchase price for Printer A is $1,000, with maintenance and operations costs of $400. Printer B increases productivity by $100, and reduces the maintenance and operations costs by half. The expected lifetime value is one year for both printers. What is the economic value to the customer (EVC) of Printer B
Answer:
EVC = $1300
Explanation:
In this question, we need to find the economic value to the customer (EVC) of Printer B.
First of all we need to know the basics of Economic value of a product,
It is basically starts with evaluating the additional values of the product first which are associated with it and then, those values are added to the next best product in the market. In this case, Printer A is the next best product whose price is $1000.
We know that, Printer B increase productivity by $100
Reduce the maintenance and operations costs by half, which means $400/2 = $200.
Additional value of the product = $100 + $200
Cost of the next best product = $1000
So,
According to the EVC definition and understandings, we must add the additional values of the product to value of the next best product.
Hence,
EVC = $1000 + $100 + $200
EVC = $1300
The bonds in our model have a maturity close to zero; they just pay the current interest rate, i, as a flow over time. We could consider, instead, a discount bond, such as a U.S. Treasury Bill. This type of asset has no explicit interest payments (called coupons) but pays a principal of, say, $1000 at a fixed date in the future. A Bill with one- year maturity pays off one year from the issue date, and similarly for 3-month or 6-month Bills. Let PB be the price of a discount bond with one-year maturity and principal of $1000. a. Is PB greater than or less than $1000.
a. Is P^B greater than or less than $1000?
b. What is the one-year interest rate on these discount bonds?
c. If prises, what happens to the interest rate on these bonds?
d. Suppose that, instead of paying $1000 in one year, the bond pays $1000 in two years. What is the interest rate per year on this two-year discount bond?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Part a.
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] will be less than $1000.
Reason: [tex]P^{B}[/tex] + interest = $1000, since interest >0 (Cannot be negative)
Hence,
[tex]P^{B}[/tex] < $1000
Part b.
Assuming the amount of interest to be i, [tex]P^{B}[/tex] would be $1000 - I
Rate of interest would be:
($1000 - ($1000-i)) / ($1000 - i) = i / ($1000 - i)
Rate of interest = i / ($1000 - i)
Part c.
If [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, the interest rate on these bonds would come down. Going back to a. [tex]P^{B}[/tex] = $1000 - i, and if [tex]P^{B}[/tex] rises, it implies that i reduces, which means that rate of interest will be reduced.
Part d.
If $1000 is a payment two years later, it implies that i (refer to b.) is the interest for two years. Assuming annual compounding, let's calculate rate of interest as follows:
Interest for two year (i) = $1000 - [tex]P^{B}[/tex] at the rate of i per year
= [tex]P^{B}[/tex] X i / 100 + ([tex]P^{B}[/tex] X (1+i/100))X i/100
We can solve for i to get annual rate of interest.

An economic profit includes implicit costs and accounting profit does not. A distinction between them is important because an accounting profit is a relative amount of money. Some amount of accounting profit may or may not be a sufficient amount of profit to keep an entrepreneur in:________
Answer:
his/ her present line of business
Explanation:
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost
Accounting cost is total revenue less explicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Explicit cost is the actual cost incurred in carrying out an activity.
In determining profit, it is essential to consider implicit cost to determine if the business is earning economic profit

The following information is available for the first year of operations of Engle Inc., a manufacturer of fabricating equipment:
Sales $7,270,000
Gross profit 1,450,000
Indirect labor 330,000
Indirect materials 195,000
Other factory overhead 90,000
Materials purchased 5,100,000
Total manufacturing costs for the period 6,170,000
Materials inventory, end of period 480,000
Using this information, determine the following missing amounts:
A. Cost of goods sold.
B. Direct materials cost.
C. Direct labor cost.
Answer:
A. $5,820,000
B. $4,425,000
C. $1,130,000
Explanation:
A. Cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit
= $7,270,000 - $1,450,000
= $5,820,000
B. Direct materials cost.
Direct materials cost = Material Purchases - Ending Material Inventory - Indirect Materials
= $5,100,000 - $480,000 - $195,000
= $4,425,000
C. Direct labor cost.
Direct labor cost = Total Manufacturing Cost - Indirect labor - indirect materials - direct materials - other factory overheads
= $6,170,000 - $330,000 - $195,000 - $4,425,000 - $90,000
= $1,130,000
