Answer:
Profit margin = 12.56% (Approx)
Total asset turnover = 1.34 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Net income = $49,000
Net sales = $390,000
Average total assets = $290,000
Find:
Profit margin
Total asset turnover
Computation:
Profit margin = [Income / sales]100
Profit margin = [49,000 / 390,000]100
Profit margin = 12.56% (Approx)
Total asset turnover = Net Sales / Average total assets
Total asset turnover = $390,000 / $290,000
Total asset turnover = 1.34 (Approx)
Exercise 2-15 Computing net income LO A1 A corporation had the following assets and liabilities at the beginning and end of this year. Assets Liabilities Beginning of the year $ 71,500 $ 30,652 End of the year 122,500 49,613 Owner made no investments in the business, and no dividends were paid during the year. Owner made no investments in the business, but dividends were $1,050 cash per month. No dividends were paid during the year, but the owner did invest an additional $45,000 cash in exchange for common stock. Dividends were $1,050 cash per month, and the owner invested an additional $35,000 cash in exchange for common stock. Determine net income or net loss for the business during the year for each of the above separate cases: (Decreases in equity should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
a. $32,039
b. $19,439
c. -$12,961
d. $9,639
Explanation:
We will use accounting equation to solve the above question.
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Also;
Net income will be the difference in equity plus dividends minus contributions
= [Ending equity - Beginning equity ] + Dividends
Since the beginning and ending equity is the same for all the years, then we'll have
$71,500 = $30,652 + Equity
Equity = $40,848
Ending equity = $122,500 - $49,613
= $72,887
a. Income : $72,887 - $40,848 + 0 - 0
= $32,039
b. $72,887 - $40,848 + $1,050 × 12 - 0
= $19,439
c. $72,887 - $40,848 + 0 - $45,000
= -12,961
d. $72,887 - $40,848 + $1,050 × 12 - $35,000
= $32,039 + $12,600 - $35,000
= $9,639
1. Matt has two choices for a summer job. The first opportunity is at a computer manufacturer, where he would earn 10.25 an hour. The second opportunity is with a landscaping company, where he could work and have lunch with three of his closest friends every day. The landscaping job would pay $8.65 per hour.
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so i looked for similar questions and they referred to opportunity costs:
the opportunity cost of taking the summer job at the computer manufacturer = lost wages from the landscaping job + the value that Matt assigns to working and having lunch with his 3 friends = $8.65 per hour + value of friendship. Assuming that he could work 160 hours per month, total opportunity cost = $1,384 + value of friendship
the opportunity cost of taking the summer job at the landscaping company = the lost wages from the computer manufacturing job = $10.25 per hour. Assuming that he could work 160 hours per month, total opportunity cost = $1,640
Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost resulting from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.
Alexis want to buy a house in 5 years. She wants to save $75,000 over the next five years for a down payment. If she can earn an annual rate of 9% on her savings, how much must she deposit in equal payments at the end of each month for the next five years to reach her goal
Answer:
the monthly payment is $994.38
Explanation:
For computing the deposit amount made in equal payment for the next five years we need to apply the PMT formula i.e. to be shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $0
Future value or Face value = $75,000
RATE = 9% ÷ 12 = 0.75%
NPER = 5 years × 12 = 60 years
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;PV;-FV;type)
The future value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the monthly payment is $994.38

You have successfully started and operated a company for the past 10 years. You have decided that it is time to sell your company and spend time on the beaches of Hawaii. A potential buyer is interested in your company, but he does not have the necessary capital to pay you a lump sum. Instead, he has offered $700,000 today and annuity payments for the balance. The first payment will be for $180,000 in three months. The payments will increase at 2.3 percent per quarter and a total of 30 quarterly payments will be made. If you require an EAR of 10 percent, how much are you being offered for your company

now we must determine the quarterly interest rate:
1.10 = (1 + i)⁴
⁴ √1.10 = ⁴ √(1 + i)⁴
1.024113689 = 1 + i
i = 0.024113689 = 2.4113689% ≈ 2.4114%
Now we need to determine the present value of this annuity and our discount rate is 2.4114%. I will use an excel spreadsheet to determine the present value of the 30 quarterly payments and then add the initial payment.
$5,190,521.80 + $700,000 = $5,890,521.80

Lorenzo was complaining about his workload before the staff meeting began. Later, when the manager announced that 12 parking spaces would be lost due to construction across the street, he raised his hand and asked, "Then where exactly do you expect us to park?" The manager tried to provide some recommendations, but Lorenzo continued to complain until the manager gave up and announced the meeting was over. What could Lorenzo do to make the next meeting more effective and productive?
Answer:
Bring a positive attitude
Explanation:
In this scenario Lorenzo already had a negative attitude before the meeting and was complaining about the workload he had.
This negative attitude made him to be inconsiderate of all recommendations made by his manager with regards to the 12 parking spaces that will be lost.
Bringing a positive attitude to the next meeting will help Lorenzo keep an open mind to alternative solutions, and he can even propose some way to get around the lost parking spaces.

Explanation:
A given investment project will cost RM400,000. Incremental annual cash flows after taxes are expected to be RM80,000 per year for the life of the investment, which is 5 years. There will be no salvage value at the end of the 5 years. The required rate of return is 14%. On the basis of the profitability index method, should the investment be accepted?
Answer:
Based on the profitability index method, the investment should not be accepted.
It does not produce enough cash flows to justify the investment.
Explanation:
The profitability index method measures the present value of benefits for by dividing the present value of benefits by the present of initial investments.
The present value of initial investment in this project remains RM400,000. The present value of incremental annual cash flows of RM80,000 after taxes for 5 years will be equal to:
RM80,000 * 3.668 = RM293,440
Then the next step is to divide the present value of benefits by the initial investment as follows:
RM293,440/RM400,000 = 0.7336 = 73.36%
The implication is that the present value of the benefits is less than the initial investment costs. The project should then be rejected.

Which of the following is false? Group of answer choices Lateness in any of the activities located on the critical path would result in lateness in overall project completion time If an activity has a slack value greater than zero, it needs to be a critical activity Lateness in activities, which are not located on the critical path, may or may not result in lateness in overall project completion time, depending on their slack time If there is only one activity in a project, it needs to be a critical activity If Activity A needs to be completed before Activity B starts, Activity A is the immediate predecessor of activity B
Answer:
If an activity has a slack value greater than zero, it needs to be a critical activity
Explanation:
The false statement in the group of answer choices is If an activity has a slack value greater than zero, it needs to be a critical activity this is because for an activity to be considered a critical activity its slack value has to be equal to zero and not greater than zero,
activities with critical value greater than zero are considered just activities and not critical activities because there is time range given to the activity
When The demand curve shifts to the right and the supply curve is held constant:______.
A. You see a movement along the demand curve
B. The equilibrium price decreases and the Equilibrium quantity increases
C. The equilibrium price increases and the equiibrium quantity decreases
D. The equilibrium price and quantity increases
E. The equilibrium Price and quantity decrease
Answer:
D. The equilibrium price and quantity increases
Explanation:
When the demand curve shifts to the right and the supply curve is held constant, the equilibrium price and quantity increases.
A rightward shift in the demand curve from D1 to D2 an a supply curve S held constant, the equilibrium price increases from P1 to P2 and equilibrium quantity increases from Q1 to Q2.
Therefore, a shift in demand curve to the right at a constant supply curve will increase equilibrium price and quantity.

Explanation:
Hula Products has reintroduced the hula hoop to the world and faces a growing demand for its product in two distinct markets: the United States and Europe. Demand in these markets is: United States: PU = 20 - 0.1QU Europe: PE = 10 - 0.05QE where all quantities are expressed in thousands of units (i.e. QU = 10 should be interpreted as 10 thousand hula hoops). The company has a marginal cost of two dollar per unit in the United States (MCU = $2) and four dollars per unit in Europe (MCE= $4). Finally, the firm has a production limitation or constraint of 96 units (96 thousand hula hoops). How many hoops should be sold in the United States?
Answer:
90 units hoops (90 thousand hula hoops) should be sold in the United States.
Explanation:
Demand function given are indirect demand functions. The total revenue can be obtained by multiplying the indirect demand function my the quantity.
Since we wan to calculate the number of hoops that should be sold in the United States, we therefore have:
TRU = QU(20 - 0.1QU)
TRU = 20QU - 0.1QU^2 ......................... (1)
Where TRU denotes the total revenue in the United States.
The marginal revenue in the United States (MRU) can be obtained by differentiating equation (1) with respect to QU as follows:
MRU = dTRU/dQU = 20 - 0.2QU ............ (2)
Note that in the question, the company has a marginal cost of two dollar per unit in the United States given as follows:
MCU = $2
Since profit is maximized at where marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost, we therefore equate MRU and MCU and solve for QU as follows:
MRU = MCU
This implies;
20 - 0.2QU = 2
-0.2QU = 2 - 20
-0.2QU = -18
QU = -18 / -0.2
QU = 90
This implies that profit is maximized in the US at 90 units hoops (90 thousand hula hoops).
Therefore, 90 units hoops (90 thousand hula hoops) should be sold in the United States.
Which of the following is an example of cannibalization? Group of answer choices A toothpaste manufacturer adds a new line of toothpaste (that contains baking soda) to its product line. A grocery store begins selling T-shirts featuring the local university's mascot. A basketball manufacturer adds basketball hoops to its product line. A convenience store begins selling pre-paid cell phones.
Answer:
The corrects answer is: A toothpaste manufacturer adds a new line of toothpaste (that contains baking soda) to its product line.
Explanation:
Cannibalization is a market strategy that can occur without the company's intention, and can be defined as when a company replaces a product on the market with a similar new product, as in the example above, when a toothpaste manufacturer adds a new one line of toothpaste (containing sodium bicarbonate) to its product line.
This strategy can be detrimental to the company, since there may be less sales of an existing product for a similar product, which consequently generated higher production costs for the organization, therefore it would not be characterized as gains for the company, but as losses , as this strategy would not increase the company's market share, but a detriment of one product by another.
Therefore, it is necessary that there is constant monitoring of each product in the company so that cannibalization does not occur and each product contributes to the company's profitability individually.

Unfortunately, Diana doesn't have enough money in her account right now. She needs to make additional contributions at the end of each of the next three years to be able to pay for the repairs. Her account currently has $3,500, which, along with her additional contributions, is expected to continue earning 6% annual interest. If she makes equal contributions each year, how large must each contribution be for Diana to have $8,000 after three years
Answer: $1,203.49
Explanation:
The equal contributions will be an annuity. The $3,500 already there will also grow at 6% for 3 years. Expression is;
8,000 = ( 3,500 * ( 1 + 6%)^3) + Contribution * Future value interest factor of annuity, 3 years, 6%
8,000 = 4,168.56 + Contribution * 3.1836
Contribution = (8,000 - 4,168.56) / 3.1836
Contribution = $1,203.49
When using straight line amortization on premium bonds:_______.
A. the same interest income is reported each year
B. decreasing interest income is reported each year
C. increasing interest income is reported each year
D. the reported interest income is determined by the current market price of the bond
Answer: the same interest income is reported each year
Explanation:
The straight-line amortization method is a simple way to amortize a bond as an equal amount of interest are allocated over every accounting period.
When using straight line amortization on premium bonds, the same interest income is reported each year. Therefore, option A is the best answer.
Berg Inc. has just paid a dividend of $2. Its stock in now selling for $48 per share. The firm is half as risky as the market. The expected return on the market is 14%, and the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds is 11%. If the market is in equilibrium, what rate of growth is expected?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following :
Price of stock (p) = $48/share
Dividend (d) = $2
Expected return on market = 14%
Yield on Treasury bond = 11%
If market is in equilibrium ; Expected growth Rate will be:
Required rate of return (r):
Yield on Treasury + ( expected return on market - yield on Treasury) × 0.5
11% + (14% - 11%)× 0.5
11% + 1.5% = 12. 5% = 0.125
Using:
P = d(1 - g) / (r - g)
Where G = growth rate
48 = 2(1 + g) / (0.125 - g)
(0.125 - g)48 = 2 + 2g
6 - 48g = 2 + 2g
-48g - 2g = 2 - 6
-50g = - 4
g = 4 / 50
g = 0.08 = 8.0%
Economic principles are generalizations relating to __________ tendencies in economic behavior or to the economy itself_______
Answer: Average
Explanation:
Economic principles are generalizations relating to average tendencies in economic behavior or to the economy itself.
It is impossible to explain the individual choices people or companies make and yet it still needs to be done so that the economy can be studied and planned. For this reason economic principles use generalizations to study and explain the economy based on the behavior of the majority of people.
Essentially they are based on perceived rational tendencies of what is expected of people and firms. This is why some economic principles are supported by one group of economists and not by others. If the principles applied to all, it would not be the case.
