Answer:

Growth rate  = 12.75%

Next year earnings = $38,425,200

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Earnings = $34.08

Firm’s return on equity = 17%

Retention rate = 75%

Now,

Growth rate = [ Retention rate ] × [ Return on equity ]

= 0.75 × 0.17

= 0.1275

or

= 0.1275 × 100%

= 12.75%

Next year earnings = Earnings × ( 1 + Growth rate )

= $34.08 million × ( 1 + 0.1275 )

= $38.4252 million

= $38,425,200

Final answer:

The account balance three years from now will be the sum of the future values of three separate deposits, each calculated using the formula for compound interest with an annual rate of 4.85%, and accounting for the different times each deposit will have been compounding.

Explanation:

Calculating Compound Interest for Multiple Deposits

To determine the account balance three years from now with given details on multiple deposits and annual compound interest, we'll treat each deposit separately and sum the future values.

First deposit: $3,200, made two years ago, will have compounded for a total of 3 years at 4.85% interest when we reach the 3-year mark from now. Its future value (FV) is calculated using the formula FV = P(1 + r)^n, where P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, and n is the number of compounding periods.

FV for the first deposit = $3,200 * (1 + 0.0485)^3

Second deposit: $5,000, made today, will have compounded for 3 years at 4.85% interest. Its future value is:

FV for the second deposit = $5,000 * (1 + 0.0485)^3

Third deposit: $3,500, will be made one year from now, and will have compounded for 2 years at 4.85% interest. Its future value is:

FV for the third deposit = $3,500 * (1 + 0.0485)^2

Adding the future values of all three deposits will give us the total account balance three years from now.

Answer:

$27,200

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing cost = $147,000

Freight charges = $4,000

Foundation and installation charges = $19,000

Salvage value = $34,000

Useful life = 5 years

Now,

Total cost of the equipment

= Purchasing cost + Freight charges + Foundation and installation charges

= $147,000 + $4,000 + $19,000

= $170,000

using the straight line method of depreciation,

we have

Annual depreciation = [ Cost - Salvage value ] ÷ Useful life

= [ $170,000 - $34,000 ] ÷ 5

= $27,200

Answer:

(a) It will have multiple IRRs

(b) The MIRR calculated is 10.18% . Going by MIRR result , this project will only generate returns that is equal to cost of capital(10%)  .If there are other avaible more viable projects, it should be rejected ( Please see attached computation).

Explanation:

(a) The multiple IRRs occurs when cash flows change sign and result in more than one value for the IRR.

Application of IRR to value an investment is only suitable when the project has normal cash flows, i.e a negative initial cash flow (i.e initial investment) followed by a series of positive cash flows.

In this scenario, we have negative cash flow of $6m  in year 4 which occured after positive cash flow of $3.5m per year from year 1 to 3. This typically make IRR unreliable. To overcome this limitation , we can use Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)

(b) Please see attached for more details.

Final answer:

To calculate the number of IRRs, sign changes in the project's cash flow must be analyzed, potentially leading to multiple IRRs. The project should only be accepted if the IRR exceeds the firm's 10% cost of capital. For multiple IRRs, additional analysis is needed.

Explanation:

The question from your firm concerns the evaluation of a project with specific cash flows, costs, and a cleanup at the end of the project. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the appropriateness of the project given a cost of capital are in question.

To determine how many IRRs this project has, we would need to look at the sign changes in the cash flow. However, this scenario has two changes in cash flow sign (initial outflow to inflows to a final outflow), which can result in multiple IRRs. A more thorough evaluation using a financial calculator or IRR software may be necessary to find the exact number.

For the second part, assessing whether the project should be accepted, we compare the project's IRR to the firm's cost of capital. Assuming the cost of capital is 10%, if the single IRR (if there is only one) is above 10%, the project should be accepted, as it would offer a return greater than the cost of capital. Otherwise, it is to be rejected. If there are multiple IRRs, the decision is more complex and requires additional analysis.

D) All of the above are correct

Explanation:

In general terms, luxurious, or non-necessary items that have many substitutes are more elastic than daily necessities such as food or gasoline.

Flat-screen computer monitors are a luxury item, and a regular-screen monitor works just as well, therefore, if the price of them rises a lot, people can always buy regular monitors. The demand for this product is very elastic.

Same is true for grandfather clocks, which not only are expensive, but also niche, in the sense that they likely only appeal to a small segment of people.

As for cardboards, this product also has substitutes, and the demand for it in the long-term is more elastic because people will have more time to look for those substitutes.

Qualcomm in engaging in an external growth strategy referred to as licensing.

Explanation:

External development (or inorganic growth) approaches include growing the output or scope of companies through capital and capabilities that the organisation itself does not build internally. Instead, the merger with / acquiring or partnership with other companies generates these resources.

These assets are then purchased by merging/acquiring or partnering with other businesses. Therefore, external expansion approaches can be divided up between the M&A (M&A) and Strategic Alliance (e.g. partnerships) strategies.

Qualcomm is engaging in an external growth strategy referred to Licensing. Qualcomm uses a strategy called licensing by allowing other companies to use its intellectual property for monetary compensation. This approach helps Qualcomm expand its reach without directly selling products.

e. derived

Explanation:

Deadweight loss is inefficiency that occurs as a result of taxation.

Deadweight loss is the difference between the quantity demanded/ supplied when there's no tax and the quantity demanded / supplied as a result of tax.

When a good has a perfectly inelastic supply, the quantity supplied doesn't change when there's a change in price.

A good with perfectly inelastic supply has zero deadweight loss.

A good has an inelastic demand when a change in price has a little effect on the quantity demanded. If a good has an inelastic demand, if price is increased, there's little or no change in quantity demanded and therefore total revenue increases.

Derived demand is when the demand for a good or a factor of production is as a result of the demand for another good. For example, if there's no demand for bread, there would be no demand for bakers.

I hope my answer helps you.

Tax imposition on goods with perfectly inelastic supply does not change the quantity produced, and the burden falls on the producer, while perfectly elastic supply places the burden on consumers. Price increases in inelastic demand do not greatly reduce quantity demanded, leading to higher revenue. Derived demand is when the input demand depends on the output's production level.

The elasticity of supply and demand affects how a tax on a good impacts the market price and quantity, as well as who bears the burden of the tax. When a tax is imposed on a good with perfectly inelastic supply, the quantity produced remains unchanged because the supplier is unable to adjust the quantity in response to price changes. As a result, the producer bears the burden of the tax. In contrast, with a perfectly elastic supply, any tax imposed would result in an increase in market price, but the quantity supplied would not change; the burden falls on consumers. If the demand is inelastic, an increase in price due to the tax does not significantly reduce the quantity demanded, leading to a higher tax revenue.

For example, if a local merchant raises the price of his good and total revenues increase, it indicates that the demand for the good is inelastic. Consumers continue buying nearly the same quantity despite the price hike. Conversely, with elastic demand, an increase in price would lead to a large decrease in quantity demanded, thus decreasing total revenue. Similarly, the concept of derived demand denotes that the demand for an input is dependent on the production level of the final good; the input's demand is not based on the input's own price or features but on the demand for the product it helps to produce.

Northwest should record journal entries for the purchase, adjustment for fair values, share of net income, and dividends received. It should report $60 million as its income from the investment, $377 million on the balance sheet as its investment in Vancouver, and detail cash flows for the purchase and dividend received.

To record the purchase of Vancouver Timber and Milling, Inc. shares:

To adjust the purchase price allocation for excess of fair value over book value:

For the excess amount in inventory sold during the year:

To recognize the share of net income from Vancouver:

To record the dividend received:

Northwest should report $60 million as income from its investment in Vancouver for the year, which represents 40% of Vancouver's net income.

On the balance sheet at year-end, Northwest should report an investment amount of $377 million. This is calculated as the initial investment amount ($410 million) plus the share of net income ($60 million), less the dividend received ($8 million), and less the excess fair value over book value charged to expense ($10 million) for inventory that was sold.

In the statement of cash flows, Northwest should report the outflow of $410 million for the purchase of shares and inflow of $8 million for the dividend received.

To find the interest expense of the second payment, calculate the remaining balance after the first payment, then apply the 10% interest rate. Approximately $998 of the second payment is interest expense.

To calculate the interest expense associated with the second payment, we need to establish the balance of the loan after the first payment. Currie Company borrowed $13,000 at a 10% annual interest rate, and agreed to make annual payments of $4,321.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how we calculate the interest expense for the second payment:

First, calculate the interest for the first year by multiplying the principal by the interest rate: $13,000 times 10% = $1,300.

Subtract the first year's interest from the first annual payment to find out how much of the payment is applied to the principal: $4,321 - $1,300 = $3,021.

Subtract the principal repayment from the original loan amount to get the remaining balance: $13,000 - $3,021 = $9,979.

Calculate the second year's interest by multiplying the remaining balance by the interest rate: $9,979 times 10%
(approximately $998, but this amount will vary slightly depending on how exactly the bank rounds the cents in their calculation).

The second payment will again include this interest expense, so approximately $998 of the second annual payment of $4,321 will be interest expense.

Therefore, the interest expense for the second payment is approximately $998, rounded to the nearest dollar.

Answer:

Letter D is correct. Psychological pricing.

Explanation:

Psychological pricing is a marketing and pricing strategy whose fundamental principle is to have a favorable psychological impact on the consumer.

A consumer buying decision process takes into account the characteristics of the product in association with price, so that there is a favorable balance between a product that meets its needs and the price determined for it.

Because of this psychological pricing emerges as a strategy to impact the consumer and influence the purchase, an example of this strategy is the use of broken and non-round values, for example a product that costs $ 99.99 has a greater impact on consumer perception than a product. product costing $ 100.00.

Although it is an inviting strategy for influencing the purchasing decision process, a company should combine this strategy with others that emphasize the characteristics and value of the product or service so that the essentials that determine the purchase are balanced, and thus there is balance and positive results.

Explanation:

The best advice given to the Richlandian Prime Minister is to increase government purchases in Richlandia by $5 billion. Option (c) is correct.

What do you mean by Output?

Any data that a computer or other electronic device processes and sends out is referred to as output.

Richlandia needs to pursue an expansionary fiscal strategy because it is struggling with unemployment and wants to boost its output by $20 billion. This can be done, for example, by increasing government purchases. Government spending boosts the economy's ability to produce goods and services, which facilitates the creation of jobs. This results in a multiplier effect, which causes the economy's income level to increase several times over. This can be represented mathematically as follows:

Given:

MPC = 0.75

Targeted change in income = $20 billion.

Government expenditure multiplier = Change in Income/ Change in government expenditure = 1/(1-MPC)

Change in Income = Change in Government Expenditure × 1/ (1-0.75)

$20 = Change in Government Expenditure × 1/0.25 $20 = Change in Government Expenditure × 4

Change in Government Expenditure = $20/ 4 = $5 billion.

Therefore, Option (c) is correct. The government expenditure must increase by $5billion in order to increase the income/ output in the economy by $20 billion.

Answer:

The company should hire 2 min in television and 3 min in radio.

Explanation:

This is a maximization problem. The first thing to do is to set the main equation given and to define the constrainsts. In this case the constraints are: 3x+1y ≤ 10, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 x and y are integers (since you only can hired entire minutes). An interation process with possible x,y combinations is the proper approach. If you do not use solver (Excel microsoft), you have to prove every x,y possible combination and visually identify the max outcome for revenues

To find the values of x and y that maximize the firm's revenue while staying within the advertising budget, we can solve the quadratic revenue function subject to the advertising budget constraint.  The constraint can be rewritten as an equation and expressed in terms of y. The derivative of the revenue function can be set to zero to find the optimal values of x and y.

To maximize the firm's revenue while staying within its advertising budget, we need to find the values of x and y that maximize the revenue function f(x, y) = -2x^2 - y^2 + xy + 8x + 3y subject to the constraint 3000x + 1000y ≤ 10000. This is an optimization problem that can be solved using calculus and the method of Lagrange multipliers.

First, let's write the constraint as an equation: 3000x + 1000y = 10000. We can rearrange this to simplify: 3x + y = 10. We can then solve this equation for y: y = 10 - 3x.

Next, we substitute this expression for y into the revenue function. We get a quadratic function in terms of x: f(x) = -2x^2 - (10 - 3x)^2 + x(10 - 3x) + 8x + 3(10 - 3x).

Now, we can take the derivative of f(x) with respect to x, set it equal to zero, and solve for x. By substituting this value of x back into the equation y = 10 - 3x, we can find the corresponding value of y. These values of x and y will represent the maximum revenue while staying within the advertising budget.

For computing the change in future price, first we have to determine the loss which is shown below:

Loss = Initial Margin - Maintenance Margin

        = $4,000 - $3,000

        = $1,000

Now the change in future price would be

= Loss ÷ size of the contract

= $1,000 ÷ 5,000 ounces

= $0.20

The future price is increased by $0.20

And, if the margin call is not meet than the broker will stop at best price so that he cannot suffer more loss

Answer:

Cash inflow Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 = $40,000

Hence,

Annual cash flow = $40,000

Payback period:

= $120,000 ÷ $40,000

= 3 years

Therefore, the payback period for Project I is 3 years.

Final answer:

The new sales price that will result in the same operating income after increasing the variable and fixed costs is $6.56 per package, rounded to the nearest cent.

Explanation:

To calculate the new sales price that will yield the same operating income after adding a vitamin supplement to dog treats, we need to consider the change in both variable costs and fixed costs. Currently, the operating income is the difference between the total revenue and total costs (which is the sum of variable and fixed costs).

The company sells 1,000 packages at $6.00 each, so the total revenue is $6,000. The variable costs are $1.50 per unit, amounting to $1,500 in total, and fixed costs are $1,800. After the changes, variable costs will rise to $1.70 per unit, totaling $1,700, and fixed costs will increase by 20%, making the new fixed costs $2,160.

For the two alternatives (original and new products with added vitamins) to yield the same operating income, the increase in total costs (due to increased variable and fixed costs) must be matched by an increase in total revenue, which is achieved by adjusting the sales price accordingly. The formula to find the new sales price is:

New sale price = (Total revenue with original costs + Increase in variable costs + Increase in fixed costs) / Number of units

Substituting the numbers in:

New sale price = ($6,000 + $200 + $360) / 1,000

This results in a new sale price of $6.56 per package, rounded to the nearest cent.

Answer:

The Legume Division's net operating income last year was d. $45,000

Explanation:

Turnover (on operating assets) = Total Sales/ Operating assets

From the formula,

Operating assets = Total Sales/Turnover (on operating assets) = $900,000/3 = $300,000

Return on investment (ROI) is calculated by using following formula:

ROI = Net income/Total investment

Net Income = ROI x Total investment

At the Legumes Division of Gervani Corporation, Total investment  = Operating assets = $300,000

Net Income = 15% x $300,000 = $45,000

The Legume Division's net operating income last year was $45,000. This was found by using the formula for ROI and rearranging for net operating income, which we determined to be 5% of the total sales ($900,000).

To answer the question about the Legume Division's net operating income last year, we need to use the given Return on Investment (ROI) and data about sales and turnover. ROI is calculated as net operating income divided by total assets. However, we also know in this case that turnover (the ratio of sales to operating assets) is 3 times.

Given that

we can say that ROI = Turnover × Margin, where Margin is the net operating income as a proportion of sales. In this question, we know that ROI = 0.15 and Turnover = 3. So, we can solve for margin:

0.15 = 3 × Margin.

Which shows that Margin = 0.15 / 3 = 0.05. Hence, to find the net operating income, we multiply the Margin by Total Sales:

Net Operating Income = 0.05 × $900,000 = $45,000, which corresponds to answer choice (d).
