c. If you were asked to respond to parts (a) and (b) as part of a training exercise, what could you tell your boss about the company's financial condition based on your answers?"
The financial condition of the company can be considered healthy, since its profit margin is almost 15%, although its debt to equity ratio is high = $60,600 / $59,710 = 101.5%. The company has too much debt, even though it makes enough money to pay its obligations.
After hearing a knock at your front door, you are surprised to see the Prize Patrol from a large, well-known magazine subscription company. It has arrived with the good news that you are the big winner, having won $34 million. You have three options. (a) Receive $1.7 million per year for the next 20 years. (b) Have $11.5 million today. (c) Have $3.25 million today and receive $1,400,000 for each of the next 20 years. Your financial adviser tells you that it is reasonable to expect to earn 14 percent on investments.
Answer:
The requirement is to calculate the present value of each option:
$ 11.26 million
$11.5 million
$ 12.52 million
Explanation:
The present value formula in excel is very useful in this case:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the 14% interest rate to be earned per year
nper is duration of the payment
pmt is the amount of payment expected per year
fv is the is the future worth of the payment which is unknown
Option 1:
=-pv(14%,20,1.7,0)=$ 11.26 million
Option 2:
The amount receivable today is the present value i.e $11.5 million
option 3:
=-pv(14%,20,1.4,0)=$9.27 million
total =amount received today+$ 9.27 million=$3.25 million+$ 9.27 millon=$ 12.52 million
Summary balance sheet data for Greener Gardens Co. is shown below (in thousands of dollars). The company is in a highly seasonal business, and the data show its assets and liabilities at peak and off-peak seasons: Peak Off-Peak Cash $ 50 $ 30 Marketable securities 0 20 Accounts receivable 40 20 Inventories 100 50 Net fixed assets 500 500 Total assets $690 $620 Payables and accruals $ 30 $ 10 Short-term bank debt 50 0 Long-term debt 300 300 Common equity 310 310 Total claims $690 $620 From this data we may conclude that a. Without cash flow data, we cannot determine the aggressiveness or conservatism of the company's current asset financing policy. b. Greener Gardens' current asset financing policy calls for exactly matching asset and liability maturities. c. Greener Gardens' current asset financing policy is relatively aggressive; that is, the company finances some of its permanent assets with short-term discretionary debt. d. Without income statement data, we cannot determine the aggressiveness or conservatism of the company's current asset financing policy. e. Greener Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Answer: E.) Greener Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Explanation: From the data given above, it could be inferred that Greener gardens Co. due to the seasonal nature of its business takes a conservative and measured approach into financing its current asset such as cash, account receivables, inventory, short term liability or debt
using permanent capital in other to shore up running cost or fluctuation which could result due to low revenue during the off peak period and cut the company's spending on certain short term needs.
Answer:
The answer is E. Gardens follows a relatively conservative approach to current asset financing; that is, some of its short-term needs are met by permanent capital.
Explanation:
The current asset financing policy concentrates on determining the most appropriate method of financing both temporary and permanent current assets.
There are 3 types of working capital financing policy - matching, conservative and aggressive.
In conservative financing policy, a business is required to maintain high levels of current assets in relation to its sales so as to absorb any sudden changes in the sales and thus avoid disruption in the production plans.
Working capital equals total current asset minus total current liability.
For peak period:
Current assets:
Cash. $50
Marketable securities. -
Account receivables. $40
Inventories $100
Total current assets. $190
Current liabilities:
Payables and accruals. $30
Short term bank debt. $50
Total current liabilities. $80
Therefore, working capital is:
$190 - $80
=$110
So Greener Gardens co. has excess working capital to cover for any sudden change in price.
Also for off peak:
Current assets:
Cash. $30
Marketable securities. $20
Account receivables. $20
Inventories $50
Total current assets. $120
Current liabilities:
Payables and accruals. $10
Short term bank debt. -
Total current liabilities. $10
Therefore, working capital is:
$120 - $10
=$110
For both on peak and off peak, the working capital is the same, meaning it is maintain a conservative policy that is dependent on its assets for financing.

The residents of Alaska and people throughout the world were outraged when the Exxon Valdez crashed into a shoal and dumped millions of gallons of crude oil into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. People were upset with Exxon's response to the disaster. The company was slow to admit its mistake and even slower to implement cleanup activities. Exxon was criticized for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society. In short, Exxon did not demonstrate:___________.
1. Social responsibility
2. Value conciousness
3. Gray marketing
4. Profit responsibility
5. Transactional marketing
Answer:
1. Social responsibility.
Explanation:
Social responsibility is an ethical principle or business practice that supports, that individuals or business entities are required to fulfil civic duties, such as welfare, charity, etc. for the benefit of the society at large.
Simply stated, it incorporates sustainable societal development into business models. A company's social responsibility involves the process of creating a balance between economic growth, societal welfare and largely it's environment.
In this scenario, Exxon was slow to own up to it's error and even slower in implementing cleanup activities of the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. Sequel to this, it was criticized by the residents of Alaska and others around the world for acting in a manner that would benefit the organization but not society.
Hence, Exxon did not demonstrate social responsibility.
Elasticity and Demand for Food
A. Consider the information on real-world price elasticities for ten countries. Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.? What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
B. The government wants to maximize its tax revenue. Revenue is equal to the amount of the tax times the quantity of goods sold (i.e., revenue Tax . Q). Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
Answer:
Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.?
The price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S. because Tanzania is a much poorer country than the U.S., and a rise in food prices leads immediately to a large drop in demand, since most people will simply not have enough income to meet demand.
What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
This implies that people in Tanzania spend less money on food, but also spend a larger share of their income on it.
Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
The tax on gasoline will provide more funds because gasoline is a good that is way more inelastic than restaurant meals.
If restaurant meals become more expensive because of the tax, people will simply stop eating-out, and prepare home meals instead.
Gasoline, on the other hand, is very inelastic, and even if the price goes up a lot because of a very high tax, car owners will still have to purchase it, raising government revenue.
Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 10 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $2.75. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer: Elasticity is 1.05
False
Explanation:
The Price Elasticity of Demand which measures how demand for goods change in relation to a change in price is calculated by the following formula,
Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices
The Midpoint method is a method of estimating price percentage change by dividing the change in price by the AVERAGE of the new price and the old price.
The average of the changes are,
= (2.75 + (2.75 - 0.25))/2
= (2.75 + 2.5)/2
= 2.625
The Midpoint method gives a chance in price of,
= (2.75 - 2.65 )/ 2.625
= 9.5%
The Elasticity is therefore,
= Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices
= 10% / 9.5%
= 1.05
According to this, the Transit Authority's revenue will not rise when Fair increases because the Elasticity is quite close to 1. An elasticity of 1 means that when fares increase, people using trains decrease by almost the same amount so revenue remains the same.
Martha, the chief designer of StyleSmartz, is considered a role model by her design team members for her role as an effective leader. Martha is considered an effective leader by the team due to her tendency to _____a. motivate employees by satisfying their basic necessities or low-level needsb. adopt a zero-tolerance stand on erring and unproductive employeesc. discourage employees from letting their emotions affect their workd. engage in management openness by encouraging members to voice their opinion
Answer:
engage in management openness by encouraging members to voice their opinion.
Explanation:
An important characteristic of management is approachability and openness of the manager to ideas of employees. This gives the manager an idea of the actual state of the workplace facilitating effective resolution of issues as they arise.
When employees know they can freely express themselves without being reprimanded, they better express themselves about challenges encountered.
Also opportunities and methods of doing things better is communicated to the manager
If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient quantity of resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, , which means that: It would be fairer for society to devote more resources to the production of beer. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer. It would be fairer for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beer. The efficient allocation of resources would result in the production of kegs of beer.
Answer:
1. It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beer.
2. Society is currently devoting the efficient amount of resources to the production of beer.
Explanation:
1. If 4 million kegs of beer are sold, the marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost which means that: the society values this quantity of kegs of beer and would be more beneficial and efficient if the society devote more resources to beer production.
2. If 12 million kegs of beer are sold, where marginal cost equal marginal benefit, it means that this is a good point in which shows an efficient allocation of resources to beer production because the marginal cost of the resources is equal to the marginal benefit of each keg of beer.
If 4 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost, which means that :
It would be more efficient for society to devote more resources to the production of beers.
Reason :
the advantage of an additional unit of producing a good is more than the cost of producing it.hence it is good to produce more where marginal benefit equals marginal cost.If 12 million kegs of beers are sold, marginal cost exceeds the marginal benefit, which means that :
It would be more efficient for society to devote fewer resources to the production of beers.
Reason :
the advantage of an additional unit of producing a good is less than the cost of producing it.hence it is good to produce less where marginal benefit equals marginal cost.Learn More :

Lloyd Inc. has sales of $250,000, a net income of $20,000, and the following balance sheet: Cash $51,000 Accounts payable $63,600 Receivables 118,800 Notes payable to bank 40,800 Inventories 294,000 Total current liabilities $104,400 Total current assets $463,800 Long-term debt 82,800 Net fixed assets 136,200 Common equity 412,800 Total assets $600,000 Total liabilities and equity $600,000 The new owner thinks that inventories are excessive and can be lowered to the point where the current ratio is equal to the industry average, 2.5x, without affecting sales or net income. If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur, by how much will the ROE change? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % What will be the firm's new quick ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur The ROE will be of 9.4%
The firm's new quick ratio is 3.95
Explanation:
To calculate how much will the ROE change we have to calculate first the current ratio as follows:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 times = (Cash + receivables + Inventories ) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)
2.5 = ($51,000 + $118,800 + Inventories) / $104,400
$169,000 + inventories = $261,000
Inventories = $92,000
Therefore, $202,000 worth of inventories were sold off.
If the funds generated are used to reduce the common equity that is by repurchasing the equity at book value.
Hence, the common equity amounts to $210,800
Calculating the ROE before the inventory is sold off:
ROE = Net income / Steockholder's equity
= $20,000 / $412,800
= 0.048 or 4.8%
Calculating the ROE after selling off the inventory:
ROE = $20,000 / $210,800
= 0.094 or 9.4%
If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur The ROE will be of 9.4%
The firm's new quick ratio is
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) / Current liabilities
= ($463,800 - $92,000) / $104,400
= 3.95
Oriole Corporation reported the following for 2020: net sales $1,235,200, cost of goods sold $721,800, selling and administrative expenses $338,600, and an unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale debt securities $15,700.

How did industrialization and unionization need to outsourcing
Answer: It is often assumed that manufacturing workers in developing countries, as recipients of outsourced jobs, would achieve economic benefits and organizational power. The author argues that job growth in developing countries through outsourcing to competing firms has often actually resulted in declining unionization and lower wage rates relative to traditional, integrated manufacturing firms. Using time-series data on union membership from 1980-2003 for Honduras and El Salvador as well as 2004 Household Survey Data for El Salvador, he examines the determinants of unionization rates and wages in the manufacturing sectors. He finds that that competitive outsourcing hurts labor at the plant-level in three ways: 1) it reduces labor's strike leverage by geographically dispersing the production process; 2) it increases the threat of plant mobility by decreasing plant-level investments; and 3) it increases labor costs relative to total costs, which creates an incentive for employers to keep wages low and unions out.
A firm's average cost increases as it increases its output by expanding its plant and hiring additional workers (its only inputs to production). The firm's owner blames the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity. The owner's reasoning is: A. correct because some inputs are fixed in the long run. B. incorrect because economies of scale are present. C. correct because marginal productivity must decrease in the short run. D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.
Answer: D. incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example.
Explanation: While marginal productivity describes the extra output, or return, or profit gotten per unit by benefits from the production inputs of a company, the law of diminishing marginal productivity is one that recognizes that the quantity of all inputs of production cannot be changed at one time. The owner's reasoning of attributing the increase in per-unit costs on the law of diminishing marginal productivity is incorrect because all inputs are varied in the example. Marginal productivity eventually declines because some inputs are fixed, but however, in the long run where no inputs are fixed, the law does not apply.
Segment Contribution Margin Analysis The operating revenues of the three largest business segments for Time Warner, Inc., for a recent year follow. Each segment includes a number of businesses, examples of which are indicated in parentheses. Time Warner, Inc. Segment Revenues (in millions) Turner (cable networks and digital media) $75,100 Home Box Office (pay television) 43,200 Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 44,500 Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows: Turner 27% Home Box Office 16% Warner Bros. 25% a. Determine the contribution margin and contribution margin ratio for each segment from the information given. When required, round to the nearest whole millionth (for example, round 5,688.7 to 5,689). Round contribution margin ratio to whole percents for each segment from the information given. Turner Home Box Office Warner Bros. Revenues $ $ $ Variable costs Contribution margin $ $ $ Contribution margin ratio (as a percent) % % % b. Does your answer to (a) mean that the other segments are more profitable businesses
Answer:

Contribution margin ratio
(as a percent of Revenue) 73% 84% 75%
b) The answer in (a) does not mean that the two other segments are more profitable than Turner. The Contribution Margin Ratio is not enough to decide the profitability of each segment. It only shows the percentage of revenue that is left after deducting the variable costs. To determine profitability, fixed costs will be deducted from the contribution margin. Fixed costs refer to the periodic costs associated with running the different segments.
Explanation:
Segment Contribution Margin Analysis helps management to review the contributions made by each segment to the entity. It shows the difference between segmental revenues and segmental variable costs.
Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc. is concerned they are not maintaining adequate liquidity. The accounting department has provided you, the newly hired finance manager, with the following ratios:
1. Current ratio 4.5 Industry norm 4.0
2. Quick ratio 2.0 Industry norm 3.1
3. Inventory turnover 6.0 Industry norm 10.4
4. Average collection period 73 days Industry norm 52 days
5. Average payment period 31 days Industry norm 40 days
Discuss · In your opinion, what do these ratios indicate about Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.?
A. What recommendations would you make based on these ratios?
B. What results do you think you can achieve if your recommendations are followed?
C. Why might your recommendations not be effective?
Answer:
Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.
1. Indications from ratios about Black Sparrow Aviation:
The current ratio of 4.5 is higher than the industry's norm of 4.0. This indicates that working capital elements are not being managed properly. This is supported by the the remaining four ratios. Inventory level is not optimal. More inventory is held without being sold to customers. Obviously, from the inventory turnover of 6.0 translating to approximately 61 days that it takes the company to sell its inventory as against the industry average of 35 days, it shows that the marketing and sales forces lack stamina. Debt collection from customers is over-delayed, showing poor credit policy and management. Perhaps, it takes the company many days to issue invoices. More time than necessary is allowed to customers to pay compared to the industry norm. In addition, payments are made to suppliers 11 days earlier than the industry average. Advantage is not being taken of trade credit offered by suppliers. Trade credit is an important source of funding operations, which every company should utilize to the maximum.
2A. Based on the above ratios, I would recommend:
1. Minimum inventory should be maintained.
2. Sales efforts should be intensified, so that more sales are made each year than it is currently the case.
3. Debt collection is an important activity for every company that sells on account. This activity should be taken seriously. Credit extension to customers should not exceed 50 days.
4. Payments to suppliers can be delayed by more 10 days without offending suppliers.
2B. Results from Recommendations:
1. Working capital is not tied in inventory.
2. More debts are recovered from customers and on time. Delay increases credit default.
3. More sales are made to customers, increasing the turnover. The profit is always in the frequency of turnover.
4. Short-term financing is obtained from suppliers, which strengthens liquidity.
Explanation:
Liquidity management is a financial management tool, which describes a company's ability to meet financial obligations through cash flow, funding activities, and capital management in order to minimize the risks associated with illiquidity.
Calculation, analysis, comparison of ratios are some of the ways to make informed decisions on liquidity management. Ratios should be compared over many periods, with best performing competitors, and the industry norm to ascertain the position of the reporting entity.

Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claim Jumper Makeover Total Sales $ 104,000 $ 52,000 $ 156,000 Variable expenses 32,200 6,800 39,000 Contribution margin $ 71,800 $ 45,200 117,000 Fixed expenses 86,850 Net operating income $ 30,150 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company
Answer:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
Claim Jumper= $104,000
Makeover= $52,000
Variable cost:
Clain Jumper= $32,200
Makeover= $6,800
First, we need to calculate the participation of the sales for each product:
Claim Jumper= 104,000/156,000= 0.67
Makeover= 52,000/156,000= 0.33
To calculate the weighted average contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average sales - weighted average variable cost)/ weighted average sales
weighted average sales= (0.67*104,000) + (0.33*52,000)
weighted average sales= 86,840
weighted average unitary variable cost= (0.67*32,200) + (0.33*6,800)
weighted average unitary variable cost= 23,818
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (86,840 - 23,818) / 86,840
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726

Explanation:
a) Straight-line method of depreciation applies the same amount of depreciation charge over the life of the asset. It is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset and dividing the resulting figure by the number of useful life in years. It is very simple, but does not take into consideration maintenance costs incurred as assets age. Therefore, it does not spread the costs of the asset evenly over the periods the asset is in use, or according to the productivity value of the asset in each period.
b) Declining balance method of depreciation accelerates depreciation charge initially but the annual expense declines with age of the fixed asset. Under this method, depreciation expense is calculated by applying the depreciation rate to the book value of the asset at the start of the period.
In Year 1, Sandy and Chris have adjusted gross income of $200,000. During the year, they provided more than half of the support for both of their unmarried adult children, Megna and Britt. Both children live near the colleges they are attending. Megna is a 25-year-old full-time graduate student with no earned income. Britt is a 22-year-old part-time student with $15,000 earned income from a part-time job. What is the total amount of child tax credit (including credit for other dependents), if any, that Sandy and Chris can claim on their Year 1 joint income tax return
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
Even though Megna and Britt are above the age of 17 and as such do not qualify for the child tax credit, they qualify for the Credit for Other Dependants.
Under this Credit, $500 can be deducted per dependant if certain conditions are fulfilled such as the dependents having a valid American identity number such as ATIN, ITIN, or SSN.
The dependants have to be your children or elderly parents.
With $500 in credit available per dependant and Sandy and Chris having 2 dependants in Megna and Britt, they can get a credit of $1,000 for the both of them.
Pickup Company acquired 100 percent of the voting common shares of Sedan Corporation by issuing bonds with a par value and fair value of $200,000. Immediately prior to the acquisition, Pickup reported total assets of $600,000, liabilities of $370,000, and stockholders’ equity of $230,000. At that date, Sedan reported total assets of $500,000, liabilities of $300,000, and stockholders’ equity of $200,000. Included in Sedan’s liabilities was an account payable to Pickup in the amount of $50,000, which Pickup included in its accounts receivable.
Based on the preceding information, what amount of total assets did Pickup report in its balance sheet immediately after the acquisition?
a. 1,100,000
b. 1,000,000
c. 800,000
d. 1,600,000
Answer:
c. $800,000
Explanation:
Relevant data provided
Beta reported total assets = $600,000
Fair value of investment = $200,000
The computation of total assets is shown below:-
Total assets did beta report = Beta reported total assets + Fair value of investment
= $600,000 + $200,000
= $800,000
Therefore for computing the total assets did beta report we simply added the beta reported total assets with fair value of investment.
s) A system has four processes and five types of allocatable resources. The current allocation and maximum needs are as follows: Allocated Maximum Available Process A 2 1 0 2 2 4 2 2 3 3 3 2 x 2 3 Process B 3 1 1 0 2 3 3 6 1 2 Process C 2 1 0 2 1 3 2 3 3 1 Process D 1 1 0 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 What is the smallest value of x for which this is a safe state? Show all steps.
Answer:
The smallest value of x is 5 which leads to a safe state.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Process Available Maximum Request = Max-Available
A [2 ,1 ,0 ,2, 2] [4, 2,2, 3, 3] [2,1,2,1,1]
B [3 ,1, 1, 0 ,2] [3 ,3 ,6 ,1 ,2] [0,2,5,1,0]
C [2 ,1 ,0 ,2 ,1 ] [3 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,1] [1,1,3,1,0]
D [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ] [0,1,3,1,1]
Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.
Now
consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3
It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2
Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3
It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3
Thus
consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3
It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5
Then
consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3
It can satisfy A,B,C,D
Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.
A computer's operating system serves as a link between humans and machines. A resource allocator is another title for it.
Solution:-
Given that:-
Process Available Maximum Request = Max-Available
A [2 ,1 ,0 ,2, 2] [4, 2,2, 3, 3] [2,1,2,1,1]
B [3 ,1, 1, 0 ,2] [3 ,3 ,6 ,1 ,2] [0,2,5,1,0]
C [2 ,1 ,0 ,2 ,1 ] [3 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,1] [1,1,3,1,0]
D [1, 1, 0, 1, 0 ] [1, 2, 3, 2 ,1 ] [0,1,3,1,1]
Available = 3,2,x,2,3 ⇒ x has to be determined.
Now , consider x=1 then Available = 3,2,1,2,3
It can't satisfy A,B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 2
Consider x=2 then Available = 3,2,2,2,3
It can't satisfy B,C,D since the minimum value of x among those is 3
Thus, consider x=3 then Available = 3,2,3,2,3
It can't satisfy D since the minimum value of x among those is 5
Then ,consider x=5 then Available = 3,2,5,2,3
It can satisfy A,B,C,D
Therefore, the minimum value of x is 5. So, that it leads to a safe state.

You are considering buying common stock in Grow On, Inc. The firm yesterday paid a dividend of $7.80. You have projected that dividends will grow at a rate of 9.0% per year indefinitely. If you want an annual return of 24.0%, what is the most you should pay for the stock now
Answer:
The answer is $56.68
Explanation:
Solution
We recall that:
The firm paid a dividend of =$7.80
The projected growth of dividends is at a rate = 9.0%
The annual return = 24.0%
Now,
V = ($7.80 * (1.09)/(.24 - 0.9)
= (8.502)/(.24-0.9)
= (8.502) * (-0.66)
= $56.68
Therefore, this would be the most we would pay for the stock. If we paid less than that, our return would be above the 24%.
An investor requires a 3 percent increase in purchasing power in order to induce her to lend. She expects inflation to be 2 percent next year. The nominal rate she must charge is about:__________.a) 1 percent.b) 2 percent.c) 3 percent.d) 5 percent.e) 7 percent.
Answer:
Nominal rate = 5%
Explanation:
Given:
Require rate = 3%
Inflation rate = 2%
Find:
Nominal rate = ?
Computation:
⇒ Nominal rate = Require rate + Inflation rate
⇒ Nominal rate = 3% + 2%
⇒ Nominal rate = 5%
Therefore, The nominal rate she must charge is 5%
A food truck operator originally produced hamburgers and hotdogs. To serve the tastes of their various customers, the hot dog vendor decides to start producing turkey dogs and ham sandwiches as well. Since the new products were introduced, average costs rose dramatically. The vendor is experiencing:________.
A. Economies of scope.
B. Diseconomies of scope.
C. Economies of scale.
D. Diseconomies of scale.
The correct answer is B. Diseconomies of scope
Explanation:
In businesses, diseconomies of scope occur when costs increase when two or more products are produced by the same business. This means it is cheaper and more efficient for a business to specialize in a few products rather than focusing on diverse products. This occurs in the case presented because the production of turkey dogs and ham sandwiches increased the costs, which shows it is more efficient for the business to specialize in a few products. Thus, this vendor is experiencing diseconomies of scope.

What will be the final balance in theâ corporation's Retained Earnings account after recording the closingâentries?
Answer:
$16,400
Explanation:
The formula for Retained Earnings = Total assets - Total Liabilities except Retained Earnings
Under the Balance sheet in accordance with this question, the asset recognizable are Cash Account Receivables Prepaid Rent and Merchandise inventory. The liability recognizable are Account payable, Salary Payable, Notes Payable and Common stocks
Therefore Retained earnings = (12000+3000+700+25000)-(14000+1500+800+8000)
Retained earnings = 40700 - 24300
Retained earnings = $16,400
Rough Stuff makes 2 products: khaki shorts and khaki pants for men. Each product passes through the cutting machine area, which is the chief constraint during production. Khaki shorts take 15 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of shorts of $16. Khaki pants take 24 minutes on the cutting machine and have a contribution margin per pair of pants of $32. If it is assumed that Rough Stuff has 4,800 hours available on the cutting machine to service a minimum demand for each product of 3,000 units, how much will profits increase if 100 more hours of machine time can be obtained?
Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
khaki shorts khaki pants
machine minutes per unit 15 24
contribution margin per unit $16 $32
CM per machine minute $1.067 $1.33
minimum demand 3,000 3,000
machine minutes required 45,000 72,000
total machine minutes available 288,000
total machine minutes remaining 171,000
production 0 7,125
total production 3,000 10,125
total contribution margin $48,000 $324,000
if 100 more machines hours are added, then production time increases by 6,000 minutes which can be used to produce 250 more khaki pants. Contribution margin will increase by 250 x $32 = $8,000
I calculated contribution margin per minute, but you could also calculate contribution margin per hour to determine which product is more profitable. Contribution margin per hour for shorts = $64, and for pants = $80. The answer will not change.
