Answer:
d. Yes, because NPV is higher by approximately $0.34 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine whether the firm should conduct test-marketing
Calculation for Going directly to market:
Since there is a 50 percent chance of success First step is to calculate the Probability of failure
Probability of failure = 100% - 50%
Probability of failure = 50%
Now let calculate the NPV of going directly to market
NPV of going directly to market = 50% * $6.2 million + 50% * $1.80 million
NPV of going directly to market =$3,100,000+$900,000
NPV of going directly to market = $4,000,000
Calculation for Test marketing before going to market:
Since the probability of success is 75 percent the first step is to calculate the Probability of failure
Probability of failure = 100% - 75%
Probability of failure= 25%
Second step is to calculate Year 1 value
Year 1 value = 75% * $6.2 million + 25% * $1.80 million
Year 1 value=$4,650,000+$450,000
Year 1 value = $5,100,000
Now let calculate the NPV of test marketing before going to market
NPV of test marketing before going to market = $5,100,000 /(1 + 11%) - $250,000
NPV of test marketing before going to market=$4,344,595
Therefore based on the above calculation the firm should conduct test-marketing before going to the market because the NPV is higher by approximately $0.34 million ($4,344,595-$4,000,000)

Schnusenberg Corporation just paid a dividend of D0 = $0.75 per share, and that dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6.50% per year in the future. The company's beta is 0.75, the required return on the market is 10.50%, and the risk-free rate is 4.50%. What is the company's current stock price? Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $27.80 b. $33.23 c. $31.63 d. $28.76 e. $31.95
Answer:
Option E is correct
Price of share = $31.95
Explanation:
The price of the share is the future dividend discounted at the required rate of return .
The required rate of return is the cost of equity . The cost of equity is computed as follows:
Cost of equity = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf= 4.50, Rm= 10.50, β= 0,75
Ke= 4.50% + 0.75×(10.50-4.50)
Ke= 9%
Price of share = Do×(1+g)/(Ke-g)
Price of the share = 0.75 × (1.065)/(0.09-0.065)
= 31.95
Price of share = $31.95
Your child is planning attend summer camp for 3 months, starting 12 months from now. The cost for camp is $2,676 per month, each month, for the 3 months she will attend. If your investments earn 2.3% APR (compounded monthly), how much must you invest each month, starting next month, for 3 months such that your investment will grow to just cover the cost of the camp
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $2,625.16
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total cost= 2,676*3= $8,028
Monthly interest rate0 0.023/12= 0.00192
First, we need to calculate the nominal value required at the end of the third month:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
FV= 8,028
i= 0.00192
n= 9 months
PV= 8,028 / (1.00192^9)
PV= $7,890.6
Now, the monthly investment to reach $7,890.6:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (7,890.6*0.00192) / [(1.00192^3) - 1]
A= $2,625.16

A firm has common stock with a market price of $100 per share and an expected dividend of $5.61 per share at the end of the coming year. A new issue of stock is expected to be sold for $98, with $2 per share representing the underpricing necessary in the competitive capital market. Flotation costs are expected to total $1 per share. The dividends paid on the outstanding stock over the past five years are as follows: The cost of this new issue of common stock is ________.
Answer:
D) 12.8 percent
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The cost of this new issue of common stock is
Using this formula
Cost of common stock new issue= D1 ÷ P0 + g
Where,
D1 =$5.61
P0=$98
g=[($5.61 - $5.24) ÷ $5.24]=7.06%
Let plug in the formula
Cost of common stock new issue = ($5.61 ÷ $98*100) + 7.06%
Cost of common stock new issue= 5.72% + 7.06%
Cost of common stock new issue= 12.78%
Cost of common stock new issue= 12.8 % (Approximately)
Therefore The cost of this new issue of common stock is 12.8%
The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet. The argument above is flawed because it confuses:_________
Answer:
The argument is confusing an average for the individuals who make up that average.
Explanation:
The argument assumes that the height of all members of the team is above 6 ft. this is flawed because it assumes that the average height is equal to the height of the members of the team
for example, there are two members in the team
assume that the height of each member is 6 ft 3 inches. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches
Assume that the height of one member is 10.6 in and jerry's height is 2.0. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches. Here Jerry's height is less than 6ft
At the beginning of June, 6,000 diamonds were in process. During June, an additional 9,000 diamonds were started. 7,000 diamonds were completed and transferred to finished goods. As of the beginning of the month, work in process was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. As of the end of the month, work in process was 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Calculate the equivalent units of direct labor for June.
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
Equivalent units are physical units expressed as a percentage of work done on then. In this case we express the physical outputs as percentage of direct labor.
Step 1: Ending Work in Process units calculation :
Ending Work in Process units = 6,000 + 9,000 - 7,000
= 8,000
Step 2 : Equivalent units of direct labor for June calculation:
Completed and transferred (7,000 x 100%) 7,000
Ending Work in Process (8,000 x 30%) 2,400
Equivalent units of production 9,400

31 Dec 2018 Mortgage payable (w.2) 94,118
Interest exp. on Mortgage (w.1) 150,000
Cash 244,118
(To record first installment payment on mortgage note.)
Workings:
w.1. Interest expense on Mortgage = Mortgage payable * Interest rate = $1,500,000 * 10% = $150,000
w.2. Mortgage note principal repaid = Annual installment payment - w.1 = $244,118 - $150,000 = $94,118

Normally you will see US Labor Productivity Increasing at an annual rate of around 6%. In reading the book you should see that it must continue to increase for our country to continue to have the standard of living that we do. What seemed odd to me was that in the 3rd Quarter of 2009, while our country is in the midst of a very deep recession, this number went to 14.8%. In the 4th Quarter it dropped to 6.4% and in the 1st Quarter of this year it was at 2.5%. Why the Big Spike in the 3rd Quarter of 2009
Answer: c) Employees are fearful of losing their jobs, so they are working harder and complaining less.
Explanation:
Research has shown that during periods of recession, people tend to work harder than they do before the recession which has the effect of boosting productivity levels during that period.
The simply reason for this is, fear. In a recession, businesses come under a lot of pressure to reduce their workforce in order to save costs which leads to a rise in unemployment. Workers that are laid off are usually the unproductive ones so workers begin to put in more work during this time so that they do not get laid off.

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Direct materials 6.4 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce.
Actual output 6,000 units
Raw materials used in production 33,400 ounces
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6.4*6,000 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= (38,400 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= $10,000 favorable
You purchased 100 shares of Crestwood Equity Partners (CEQP) stock on the last day of April 2020 for $10.94 per share. During the month of May you received a dividend of $0.625 per share. You sold all of your Crestwood stock on the last trading day of May for $14.21 per share. Compute your percentage return for the month that you owned the stock.
Answer:
the percentage return is 35.60%
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage return is shown below;
= (Last trading day on may - last day of april + dividend received) ÷ (last day of april) ×100
= ($14.21 - $10.94 + $0.625) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= ($3.895) ÷ ($10.94) × 100
= 35.60%
Hence, the percentage return is 35.60%

Answer:
financial variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System ( popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
Generally, it comprises of twelve (12) Federal Reserve Bank regionally across the United States of America.
Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a government agency that is saddled with the following responsibilities;
I. The Fed controls the issuance of currency in United States of America: it promotes public goals such as economic growth, low inflation, and the smooth operation of financial markets.
II. It provides banking services to all the commercial banks in the country because the Federal Reserve is the "lender of last resort."
III. It regulates banking activities in the United States of America: it has the power to supervise and regulate banks.
Intermediate targets can be defined as financial and economic variables which aren't directly under the control of the Federal Reserve (central bank) but they try to use them to influence policy actions or goals within a specific period of time.
Hence, intermediate targets are financial or economic variables, such as interest rates or monetary aggregates, the Fed believes will help it to achieve policy goals.
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.3 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. Whatare the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
$2,421,220
Explanation:
Calculation to determine incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine
First step is to calculate The cost of depreciation
Cost of depreciation= $10,4000,00 + $46,000/ 5
Cost of depreciation= $2,089,200
Now let calculate the Incremental free cash flows
Incremental free cash flows = ( $3.9 million - $1,300,000) * (1 - 0.35) + $2,089,200* 0.35
Incremental free cash flows = $1,690,000 + $731,220
Incremental free cash flows=$2,421,220
Therefore the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine is $2,421,220.
Why would a producer decide to produce in a competitive market in which she will earn zero profit in the long run? Choose one: A. Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost). B. Because the zero profit in the long run is, in fact, zero accounting profit, and it matters only in the books. C. Because in the short run, her profit is always positive. D. Because the producer has a high cost of exiting this market, and it is better for her to continue operating at zero profit.
Answer:
Option A : Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost).
Explanation:
Perfectly Competitive Market
This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.
Perfectly Competitive Industry
This is simply an industry where producers are said to be price takers.
Explicit Costs
These are costs that are simply known as "out-of-pocket" costs or in accounting costs. They are an individual's fixed and variable costs of doing business.
Implicit Costs
These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.
It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.

What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021?
Answer:
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Explanation:
Total stockholders' equity
10,400 x $5.80 = $60,320
19,600 x $9.30 = $182,280
Net income (retained earnigns) = $106,000
Paid cash dividends = -$53,000
Purhcase of treasury stocks = -2,600 x $11.30 = -$29,380
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Concord Corporation manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $181. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $125 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:
a. Income would increase by $23000.
b. Income would increase by $125000.
c. Income would decrease by $23000.
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Answer:
d. Income would increase by $25000.
Explanation:
Concord Corporation received a special order to sell 1,000 units at $125 each.
Incremental Sales Revenue = 1,000 * $125
Incremental Sales Revenue = $125,000
Variable Cost per unit = $100
Fixed manufacturing cost = $480,000
To produce required additional units, there will be no change in fixed manufacturing costs. So, cost to produce additional units will change on account of variable manufacturing cost only.
Incremental Cost = $100 * 1,000
Incremental Cost = $100,000
Incremental Net Income = Incremental Sales Revenue - Incremental Cost
Incremental Net Income = $125,000 - $100,000
Incremental Net Income = $25,000

Lily Company expects the following total sales: Month Sales March $30,000 April $20,000 May $30,000 June $25,000 The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash. Credit sales are collected as follows: 30% in the month of sale, 70% in the month following the sale. The budgeted accounts receivable balance on May 31 is: A. $12,240 B. $12,600 C. $20,400 D. $21,000
Answer:
B. $12,600
Explanation:
"The company expects 60% of its sales to be credit sales and 40% for cash"
Credit sale for May = $30,000 * 60%
Credit sale for May = $18,000
"70% of the credit sale is collected in following month of sale"
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% of credit sale for May
Accounts receivables on 31 May = 70% * $18,000
Accounts receivables on 31 May = $12,600
Selected financial information for ELX Corporation is reproduced below: 1. Net operating assets (NOA) turnover (average NOA equals ending NOA) is 4. 2. Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) margin is 6% 3. Leverage ratio (average net financial obligation to average common equity) is 2.5, and the spread is 7.3%. What is ELX's return on common equity
Answer:
the Return on common equity is 43.45%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on common equity is shown below;
As we know that
Return on common equity = Return on net operating assets + leverage × spread
= (4.2 × 6%) + 2.5 × 7.3%
= 25.2% + 18.25%
= 43.45%
Hence, the Return on common equity is 43.45%
The above formula should be applied for the same
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 179,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 137,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $93 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 21,000 tires for $76.85 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
