Answer:
the Cournot-Nash equilibrium, Simon's production is 82 units
Explanation:
The Cournot-Nash Equilibrium for Simon's production is calculated as follows:
[tex]P = 400 - Q \\ \\ Q = Q_s + Q_c[/tex]
Reaction function of Carl is as follows:
Carl maximize profit at [tex]HR_c = HC_c[/tex]
[tex]TR_c = P*Q_c[/tex]
[tex]TR_c = (400 -Q_s -Q_c)Q_c[/tex]
[tex]TR_c = 400Q_c -Q_sQ_c -Q_c^2[/tex]
⇒ [tex]HR_c = \delta TR_c/ \delta Q_c[/tex]
[tex]HR_c =400 -Q_s -2 Q_c[/tex]
[tex]C_c = 30 Q_c + Q_c^2[/tex]
⇒ [tex]HC_c = \delta C_c/ \delta Q_c[/tex]
[tex]HC_c =30+2Q_c[/tex]
Set [tex]HR_c = HC_c[/tex]
[tex]400 - Q_s - 2 Q_c = 30 - 2Q_c \\ \\ 400 - Q_s -30 = 2Q_c + 2Q_c \\\\(370 Q_s) = 4 Q_c \\ \\ Q_c = (370-Q_s)/4 \\ \\ Q_c = 92.5 - 0.25 Q_s \to Reaction \ function \ of \ Carl --- equation (1)[/tex]
Reaction function of Simon
Since Simon maximize profit at [tex]HR_s = HC_s[/tex]
[tex]TR_s = PQ_s \\ \\ TR_s = (400-Q_c -Q_s)Q_s \\ \\ TR_s = 400 Q_s - Q_cQ_s - Q_s^2[/tex]
[tex]HR_s = \delta TR_s/ \delta Q_s[/tex]
[tex]HR_s =400 - Q_c -2Q_s[/tex]
[tex]C_s = Q_s^2[/tex]
[tex]HC_s= \delta C_s/ \delta Q_s[/tex]
[tex]HC_s=2Q_s[/tex]
Set [tex]HR_s = HC_s[/tex]
[tex]400- Q_c - 2Q_s = 2Q_s \\ \\ 400 - Q_c = 2Q_s+2Q_s \\ \\ 4Q_s = 400 - Q_c \\ \\ Q_s = (4000- Q_c)/4 \\ \\ Q_s = 100 -0.25 Q_c --- Reaction \ function \ of \ Simon \ -- equation (2)[/tex]
Substituting equation (1) into equation (2)
[tex]Q_s =100 -0.25Q_c \\ \\ Q_s = 100 - 0.25(92.5-0.25 Q_s) \\ \\ Q_s = 100 -23.125 +0.0625Q_s \\ \\ (Q_s-0.0625Q_s) = 76.375 \\ \\ 0.9375 Q_s = 76.875 \\ \\ Q_s = 76.375/0.9375 \\ \\ Q_s = 82[/tex]
Thus; the Cournot-Nash equilibrium, Simon's production is 82 units
Schaeffer Shippers announced on May 1 that it will pay a dividend of $1.20 per share on June 15 to all holders on record as of May 31st. The firm's stock price closed today at $42 a share. Assume all investors are in the 28 percent tax bracket. If tomorrow is the ex-dividend date, what would you expect the opening price to be tomorrow morning assuming all else is held constant
Answer:
$41.14
Explanation:
Declared dividend per share = $1.20
Tax on declared dividend per share = $1.20 * 28% = $0.3360
Net Declared dividend per share = $1.20 - $0.3360 = $ 0.864
Firm's closing stock price per share today = $42
Opening share price tomorrow = $42 - $0.8640 = $41.1360, approximately $41.14.
Final answer:
An investor would be willing to pay for a share of stock in Babble, Inc. based on the present discounted value of the expected dividends. Assuming a PDV of total profits at $51.3 million for 200 shares, the price per share is calculated to be approximately $256,500.
Explanation:
To calculate what an investor is willing to pay for a share of stock in Babble, Inc., we need to compute the present value of the future dividends, as these are the profits that investors will receive. Since the company will be disbanded in two years, we will not consider any growth beyond that point, and instead, we will focus on the present value of the dividends to be received over the next two years.
Firstly, one must find the present value (PV) of each dividend payment separately using a suitable discount rate, which reflects the rate of return investors require. Generally, the discount rate can be considered equivalent to the opportunity cost of capital or the expected return rate provided by other investments with a similar risk profile. However, the question does not provide the discount rate, so we'll assume that it has been calculated elsewhere.
Once the present discounted value (PDV) for each of the dividend amounts has been found, the sum of these represents the total PDV of the future dividends payable to the company's shareholders. The PDV of total profits must be divided by the number of shares to find the price per share. If the PDV of the profits is $51.3 million and there are 200 shares, then the price per share would be:
PV of total profits / Number of shares = $51.3 million / 200
= $256,500 per share.
This calculation gives the price that an investor might be willing to pay for a share of Babble, Inc., considering the dividends they would receive.

Which of the following is true? Internal equity is cheaper than external equity. The advantage of using debt for a firm is that it increases the chance of going bankruptcy. The chance of going bankruptcy tends to be very low for a firm, therefore, firms can ignore it when determining their capital structure. The before-tax and after tax cost of equity is different.
Answer:
Yes it is True that Internal equity is cheaper than external equity.
Explanation:
Internal equity compares the pay rates between colleagues in the same firm. It is used as standard to ensure fairness. It is the net income realized after subtracting tax and liabilities as well as expenses incurred.
External equity on the other hand is comparing the pay workers in different organizations. It helps to set a benchmark for payment of staff at the same grade level in different companies. It can be used as a yardstick to measure whether a particular company's pay rate competes favorably with other companies.
Internal equity also called retained earnings is generally less expensive than external equity for tax reasons among others.
Benjamin Company had the following results of operations for the past year: Sales (16,500 units at $16) $ 264,000 Direct materials and direct labor $ 165,000 Overhead (20% variable) 33,000 Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed) 28,050 (226,050) Operating income $ 37,950 A foreign company offers to buy 4125 units at $10.40 per unit. In addition to variable manufacturing costs, selling these units would increase fixed overhead by $640 and selling and administrative costs by $580. Assuming Benjamin's productive capacity is 16,500 units per year and it accepts the offer, its profits will:
Answer:
profits will decrease by $1,220
Explanation:
Consider the Incremental Costs and Revenues that arise from accepting the offer.
Sales ( 4125 units×$10.40) 42,900
Direct materials and direct labor ( $ 165,000/16,500 ×4125 units) (41,250)
Variable Overheads (33,000×20%)/16,500 ×4125 units) (1,650)
Incremental Fixed overheads (640)
Incremental selling and administrative costs (580)
Incremental Income/(loss) (1,220)
Therefore profits will decrease by $1,220 if it accepts the offer.
If Benjamin Company accepts the foreign company's offer, its profits will decrease by $10,042.50.
Benjamin Company's current operation involves selling 16,500 units at $16 each, resulting in a total sales revenue of $264,000. The company incurs direct materials and direct labor costs of $165,000, variable overhead costs of $33,000, and fixed selling and administrative expenses of $28,050, resulting in an operating income of $37,950.
Now, if the company accepts the foreign company's offer to buy 4,125 units at $10.40 per unit, the new sales revenue from these units would be $42,840. However, this decision comes with additional costs. Selling these units would increase variable manufacturing costs, fixed overhead, and selling and administrative costs by $10,042.50 (calculated as $4.40 * 4,125 units + $640 + $580).
As a result, the overall effect on profits would be a decrease of $10,042.50. This reduction in profits is attributed to the lower selling price of the units and the added variable and fixed costs associated with the foreign company's offer.

It has issued 22,000 bonds with a face value of 1000, 20 years left to maturity, semiannual compounding, a coupon interest rate of 7%, and a current price of $925. Using market values for debt and equity, what is the firm’s cost of capital: A) Before taxes? B) After taxes with a tax rate of 21%?
Answer:
before taxes:
WACC 8.74959%
after a 21% tax-rate:
WACC 7.23587%
Explanation:
Equity: 60,000 x $45.90 = 2,754,000

A factory machine was purchased for $140,000 on January 1, 2022. It was estimated that it would have a $28,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 40,000 hours in the 5 years. If the actual number of machine hours ran in 2022 was 4,000 hours and the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2022 would be
Answer:
$11,200
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense using the units of activity method is shown below:
Before that first we have to find out the depreciation rate which is
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated machine hours)
= ($140,000- $28,000) ÷ (40,000 hours)
= ($112,000) ÷ (40,000 hours)
= $2.8
Now for the depreciation expense is
= Machine hours × depreciation per machine hours
= 4,000 × $2.8
= $11,200
XYZ CORP HAS THE FOLLOWING DATA: BUDGETED OVERHEAD $168,000 BUDGETED MACHINE HOURS (DRIVER) 35,000 ACTUAL MACHINE HOURS: JOB 17 11,700 JOB 18 9,750 JOB 19 13,650 JOB 20 3,900 JOBS 17, 18 & 19 WERE FINISHED. JOB 17 WAS SOLD. TOTAL ACTUAL OVERHEAD = $189,000. WHAT IS ACTUAL OVERHEAD IN FINISHED GOODS? (ASSUME OVERHEAD VARIANCE ALLOCATED AMONG WIP, FG AND COGS) ACTUAL OVERHEAD FG_________
Answer:
The Actual overhead in finished goods is $ 113,400
Explanation:
In order to calculate the ACTUAL OVERHEAD IN FINISHED GOODS we would have to use the following formula:
Actual overhead in finished goods= overheads allocated to job 18 and 19 + underapplied overheads allocated finished inventory
Actual overhead in finished goods=(($9,750+$13,650)/($11,700+$9,750+$13,650+$3,900)*$168,000) + ($23,400/$39,000* ($189,000 - ($39,000*$168,000/$35,000))
= $112,320 + $1,080
= $ 113,400
The Actual overhead in finished goods is $ 113,400
The actual overhead of finished goods is $113,400. It was calculated by proportioning the machine hours used by each job to the total budgeted machine hours, and allocating the overhead accordingly.
Explanation:The actual overhead in finished goods is calculated using the proportion of machine hours utilized for the finished jobs relative to the total budgeted machine hours. Here the Jobs 17, 18, and 19 are finished using 11,700, 9,750 and 13,650 machine hours respectively. This totals to 35,100 machine hours. The total budgeted machine hours is 35,000 hours. Hence, the proportion of machine hours used is 35,100 / 35,000 = 1.003. The actual overhead adjusted with this proportion is $189,000 * 1.003 = $189,567.
However, this value is more than the budgeted overhead hence the jobs must've used more resources than expected. Now, to get actual overhead in finished goods, we'll subtract the overhead from the unfinished job (Job 20) from the total actual overhead. The overhead for Job 20 can be found similar way as above. The proportion of machine hours for Job 20 with respect to total budgeted hours is 3,900/35,000 = 0.111.
Hence overhead for Job 20 = $189,000 * 0.111 = $20,979. Subtracting this from total overhead gives the actual overhead in finished goods as $189,567 - $20,979 = $168,588, but as this exceeds the $189,000 limit, expenses must've been misallocated to Job 20. Hence the actual overhead of finished goods ends up being $ 113,400 after correcting.

The company expects to sell the machine's output of 3,000 units evenly throughout each year. A projected income statement for each year of the asset's life appears below. What is the payback period for this machine
Answer:
The payback period for this machine is = 3.01 years
Explanation:
Solution
Payback Period = Investment Required (Cost of Asset), Net annual cash Inflow
so,
The Cost of Asset=$57,000
Now,
The Net annual cash Inflow =Net Income after Tax + Depreciation
=$ 9425 + $ 9500 = $18,925
Thus, Payback Period is = $57,000/18925
= 3.01 Years

You are valuing a company that is projected to generate a free cash flow of $10 million next year, growing at a stable 3.0% rate in perpetuity thereafter. The company has $22 million of debt and $8.5 million of cash. Cost of capital is 10.0%. There are 50 million shares outstanding. How much is each share worth according to your valuation analysis
Answer:
$2.67 per share
Explanation:
To start with,we calculate the present worth of the company using the below formula:
present worth of the company=free cash flow*(1+g)/r-g
g is the growth rate of the free cash flow which is 3.0%
r is the cost of capital of 10%
present worth=$10 million*(1+3%)/10%-3%
=10.3/7%
=$ 147.14 million
However ,the value of total equity is computed thus:
equity=present worth+cash-debt
cash is $8.5 million
debt is $22 million
equity=$ 147.14 +$8.5-$22
equity=$133.64 million
value of each share=equity value /number of shares
number of shares is 50 million
value of each=$133.64 million/50 million=$2.67 per share

Explanation:
The market price of a security is $25. Its expected rate of return is 12%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6.0%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Given Information:
Market price of security = $25
Expected rate = 12%
Risk-free rate = 4%
Market risk premium = 6%
Answer:
New market price of security = $15.03
Explanation:
The new market price of security can be calculated by,
P = Dividend/Expected return
Where Dividend is given by
Dividend = Market price*Expected rate
D = $25*0.12
D = 3$
Expected return is given by
Expected return = Risk-free rate + β*(market risk premium)
β can be calculated as
β = (Expected rate - Risk-free rate)/market risk premium
β = (12 - 4)/6
β = 1.33%
Since it is given that correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles, therefore, β will get doubled too because they are directly proportional.
β = 2*1.33%
β = 2.66%
So the Expected return is
Expected return = 4 + 2.66*(6)
Expected return = 19.96%
So the new market price of security is,
P = Dividend/Expected return
P = 3/0.1996
P = $15.03

Answer:
D.
Explanation:
A Product Life Cycle is a cycle of growth or decline that a product goes through in a market. The cycle defines the business and sales measures of the product. The cycle is divided into four stages: Introduction, Growth, Maturity, and Decline.
The stage at which Merissa's company InstaCup Coffee is the Maturity Stage.
In the stage, the growth of the sales reaches its highest peak while the product reaches its maximum. At this stage, while the product reaches it peak the competition also begins to increase. The profits of Marissa's InstaCup coffee maker are increasing as well as the number of competitors.
So, from the given options the correct one is D.
In the growth stage of the product life cycle, the profits for the InstaCup coffee maker are increasing, and the number of competitors is growing.
Explanation:Considering that Marissa, a product manager, believes her company's InstaCup coffee maker is currently in the growth stage of the product life cycle, the profits for the InstaCup coffee maker should be increasing, and the number of competitors in the market is likely growing. During the growth stage, a product typically experiences rapid sales growth, increasing market acceptance, and expanding profits as more consumers are aware of and are willing to purchase the product. Additionally, seeing the success of the product, more competitors are enticed to enter the market with similar offerings. Hence, the correct answer to her statement is 'd. are increasing; is growing'.
The following information is provided for each division. Investment Center Net Income Average Assets Cameras and camcorders $ 4,500,000 $ 20,000,000 Phones and communications 1,500,000 12,500,000 Computers and accessories 800,000 10,000,000 Assume a target income of 12% of average invested assets. Required: Compute residual income for each division. (Enter losses with a minus sign.)
Answer:
Cameras & Camcorders = $2,100,000
Phones & Communication = 0
Computers &Accessories = -$400,000
Explanation:
Computation of the given data are as follow:-
Target Income = Average Assets × Target Income Rate of Average Invested Assets
Cameras & Camcorders = $20,000,000 × 12÷100 = $2,400,000
Phones &Communication = $12,500,000 × 12÷100 = $1,500,000
Computers &Accessories = $10,000,000 × 12÷100 = $1,200,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Cameras & Camcorders = $4,500,000 - $2,400,000 = $2,100,000
Phones & Communication = $1,500,000 - $1,500,000 = 0
Computers &Accessories = $800,000 - $1,200,000 = -$400,000
Final answer:
Residual income is calculated by subtracting the target income from the net income of each division. For Cameras and Camcorders, the residual income is $2,100,000. Phones and Communications breaks even, and Computers and Accessories has a negative residual income of -$400,000.
Explanation:
Calculating Residual Income
To calculate the residual income for each division, we first determine the target income by applying the target return rate (which is 12%) to the average invested assets. The residual income is then computed by subtracting this target income from the net income of each division.
For the Cameras and Camcorders division:
Target Income = 12% of $20,000,000 = $2,400,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Residual Income = $4,500,000 - $2,400,000 = $2,100,000
For the Phones and Communications division:
Target Income = 12% of $12,500,000 = $1,500,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Residual Income = $1,500,000 - $1,500,000 = $0
For the Computers and Accessories division:
Target Income = 12% of $10,000,000 = $1,200,000
Residual Income = Net Income - Target Income
Residual Income = $800,000 - $1,200,000 = -$400,000
Novak Corp. has 7400 shares of 6%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 148000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. The board of directors declared and paid a $14000 dividend in 2019. In 2020, $70000 of dividends are declared and paid. What are the dividends received by the preferred stockholders in 2020?
Answer:
The dividends received by the preferred stockholders in 2020 are $30400.
Explanation:
The cumulative preferred stock is the form of preferred stock that accumulates or accrues dividends in case the company does not pay or partially pay dividends to preferred stock in a particular year. This means that the dividends are accrued and the company will need to pay these dividends first in the future whenever it declares dividends.
The total dividends per year on preferred stock is,
Preferred Stock dividends = 50 * 0.06 * 7400 = $22200 per year
The preferred stock dividend that was accrued at the end of 2019 after the dividend payment of $14000 is,

Jiminy’s Cricket Farm issued a 15-year, 10 percent semiannual bond 4 years ago. The bond currently sells for 91 percent of its face value. The company’s tax rate is 38 percent. Suppose the book value of the debt issue is $60 million. In addition, the company has a second debt issue on the market, a zero coupon bond with 11 years left to maturity; the book value of this issue is $35 million, and the bonds sell for 51 percent of par. What is the company’s total book value of debt? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567.) Total book value $ What is the company’s total market value of debt? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567.) Total market value $ What is your best estimate of the aftertax cost of debt? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Cost of debt %
Answer:
Find the answers below
Explanation:
The total book value of the debt is the sum of the two bonds book values
total book value=$60 million+$35 million=$95 million
Total market value of bonds is the sum of the two bonds market values
total market values=$60 million*91%+$35 million*51%
=$54.6 million+$17.85 million=$72.45 million
After tax cost of debt =pretax cost of debt*(1-t) where t is the tax rate of 38% or 0.38
For the first bond:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of interest the bonds would pay from now on,i.e (15-4)*2=22
pmt is the semiannual interest payment,which is:$60 million*10%/2=$3 million
pv is the market value of $54.6 million
fv is the book value of $60 million
=rate(22,3,-54.6,60)=5.73%
5.73% is the semiannual rate ,where 11.46% is the annual rate
after tax cost of debt=11.46%*(1-0.38)=7.11%
the second bond:
nper is 11 (11 years left to maturity)
pmt is nil since it is a zero coupon bond
pv is $17.85 million
fv is $35 million
=rate(11,0,-17.85,35)=6.31%
after tax cost of debt=6.31% *(1-0.38)=3.91%

Ari, Inc. is working on its cash budget for December. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $14,000. Budgeted cash receipts total $127,000 and budgeted cash disbursements total $126,000. The desired ending cash balance is $40,000. Any borrowing is in multiples of $1,000 and interest is paid in the month following the borrowing.To attain its desired ending cash balance for December, the company needs to borrow:________.
A. $0.
B. $25,000.
C. $55,000.
D. $40,000.
Answer:
The company needs to borrow $25000 and option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
If the ending amount of cash for the year is less than the desired ending balance, then the company will need to borrow to maintain the desired level of cash balance.
To calculate the amount needed to be borrowed, we first compute the ending cash balance for December. The ending cash balance will be,
Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments
Closing Balance - December = 14000 + 127000 - 126000
Closing Balance - December = $15000
The difference between the closing cash balance and the desired closing cash balance is the amount that the firm will need to borrow.
Amount need to be borrowed = 40000 - 15000 = $25000
Ari, Inc. needs to borrow $25,000 to reach its desired ending cash balance for December after accounting for its beginning balance, cash receipts, and disbursements.
Explanation:To determine how much Ari, Inc. needs to borrow in December, we need to consider the desired ending cash balance, initial cash balance, total cash receipts, and total cash disbursements. The calculation is as follows:
Beginning cash balance: $14,000Add: Budgeted cash receipts: $127,000Less: Budgeted cash disbursements: $126,000Equals: Projected ending cash balance without borrowing: $15,000However, the company desires an ending cash balance of $40,000. Therefore, Ari, Inc. needs to borrow the difference between the projected ending balance and the desired ending balance.
Desired ending balance - Projected ending balance without borrowing = Amount to borrow
$40,000 - $15,000 = $25,000
Ari, Inc. will need to borrow $25,000 to reach its desired ending cash balance for December.

You are considering investing $1,000 in a T-bill that pays 0.05 and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The weights of X and Y in P are 0.60 and 0.40, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 0.14 and variance of 0.01, and Y has an expected rate of return of 0.10 and a variance of 0.0081. What would be the dollar value of your positions in X, Y, and the T-bills, respectively, if you decide to hold a portfolio that has an expected outcome of $1,120? Group of answer choices a.$568; $54; b.$378 $108; c.$514; $378 d.$378; $54; e.$568 $568; f.$378; $54
Answer:
c)$568; $378; $54
Explanation:
($1,120 - $1,000)/$1,000 = 12%
(0.6)14% + (0.4)10% = 12.4%
12% = w5% + 12.4%(1 - w)
w = .054
1-w = .946
w = 0.054($1,000)
= $54 (T-bills)
1 - w = 1 - 0.054 = 0.946
0.946($1,000) = $946
$946 x 0.6 = $568 in X
$946 x 0.4 = $378 in Y.
Final answer:
To achieve an expected outcome of $1,120, invest $672 in X, $448 in Y, and $0 in T-bills.
Explanation:
The expected outcome of $1,120 can be achieved by investing in a T-bill, risky securities X and Y.
The dollar value of positions in X, Y, and T-bills would be $378, $54, and $688, respectively.
Calculations:
X position = $1,120 * 0.60 = $672
Y position = $1,120 * 0.40 = $448
T-bill position = $1,120 - $672 - $448 = $0
Dorglass Incorporated reported the following information about the production and sale of its only product during the first month of operations: Selling price per unit $225 Sales $360,000 Direct materials used $176,000 Direct labor $100,000 Variable factory overhead $44,000 Fixed factory overhead $80,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses $20,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $10,000 Ending inventory, Direct Materials 0 Ending inventory, Work-in-process 0 Ending inventory, Finished Goods 400 units Under Variable Costing, the Product (Inventoriable) Cost per unit is ________. A. $225 B. $160 C. $200 D. $170
Answer:
B. $160
Explanation:
For computing the product cost per unit first we have to find out the total number of units which is
= $360,000 ÷ $225 + 400 units
= 1,600 units + 400 units
= 2,000 units
Now the product cost per unit is
= (Direct material used + direct labor + variable factory overhead) ÷ ( total units)
= ($176,000 + $100,000 + $44,000) ÷ (2,000 units)
= ($320,000) ÷ (2,000 units)
= $160
Suppose the spouse of the primary earner in the household is considering joining the labor force. The spouse currently cares for two children and, if employed, would earn $20 per hour for 40 hours per week. The cost of child care would be $10 per hour for 50 (not 40) hours per week. Assume that the marginal tax rate on work is 50%. Assume that child care is tax deductible and that child care at home is NOT imputed and taxed. What is the after-tax, after-child-care addition to family income of the spouse working each week?
Answer: -$100
Explanation:
Assuming that that child care is tax deductible and that child care at home is NOT imputed and taxed then we shall tax the earnings and deduct child care from it.
The couple makes $20 per week per 40 hour week.
= 20 * 40
= $800
Marginal tax rate is 50% so,
= 800 * 50%
= $400
After tax addition is $400
Childcare is $10 per hour for 50 (not 40) hours per week so,
= 10 * 50
= $500
After-Child-Care Contribution is,
= 400 - 500
= -$100
The after-tax, after-child-care addition to family income of the spouse working each week is -$100

Which of the three product models should be produced first of management incorporates a short-run profit maximizing strategy?
Answer:
The large application should be produced first by management in order to incorporate short run profit maximizing strategy.
Explanation:
In order to maximize profit in the short run by management, we need to calculate the unit profit per machine hour for each appliances. Using the following formulae, as shown below:
Unit Profit / Machine-hours per unit = Unit Profit per Machine hour
Small Application
40 / 20 = $2 per machine hour
Medium Application
115 / 40 = $2.875 per machine hour
Large Application
340 / 100 = $3.4 per machine hour
As per the above calculation the large application gives the highest profit per machine hour so should be produced first. Afterwards if any machine hour is left then medium application should be produced second and finally, small application third.
Longhorn Company reports current E&P of $100,000 in 20X3 and a deficit of ($200,000) in accumulated E&P at the beginning of the year. Longhorn distributed $300,000 to its sole shareholder on January 1, 20X3. The shareholder's tax basis in his stock in Longhorn is $100,000. How is the distribution treated by the shareholder in 20X3?
Answer: Dividend of $100,000, Capital Gain of $100,000 and Tax Free Return on basis of $100,000
Explanation:
Longhorn Company reports current E&P of $100,000 in 20X3 and still distributed $300,000 to it's sole shareholder. Because it had $100,000 in current E&P, that is all it can declare as Dividends. For this reason, the shareholder will recognize $100,000 as Dividends.
The Shareholder has a basis of $100,000 in the stock of Longhorn. As a result of this, $100,000 of the Distribution will be termed a TAX FREE Return on Basis because he is receiving a return on his basis that is neither a dividend nor capital gain.
The remaining $100,000 will be considered a Capital Gain as it reflects a rise in his stock.
If a division that currently has negative residual income of $200,000 is considering an investment that will reduce this negative amount to $75,000, the investment: Multiple Choice should be pursued because it is attractive from both the divisional and corporate perspectives. should be pursued because it is attractive from the divisional perspective although not from the corporate perspective.
Answer:
Residual financial gain states to the surplus of revenue earned by the company, prodigious the lowest amount of return. the presentation of the corporate is that the outline of the division / local performance. Once there's a rise within the residual financial gain of the partition, it mechanically reflects within the residual financial gain of the corporate as an entire. within the given case, an asset decreases the adverse residual financial gain, therefore it's useful to each the partition also because the entire firm.
