Lolita, a Mexican business woman, came to Redmond Washington to negotiate a business deal with Microsoft. Lolita, assuming business was formal, dressed in a formal suit, nylons, and high heels. She met with the Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Microsoft, Kevin Johnson, and greeted him with, "Good morning Vice President Johnson." Kevin was dressed in jeans and sneakers and addressed Lolita with, "Hello Lolita, nice to finally meet you in person." Lolita was offended by this greeting. This example illustrates which assumption about intercultural communication?
Answer:
b) all of these are true.
Explanation:
The scenario described in the question illustrates differences in communication rules that suffer from different cultural influences, this is what we perceive when Mexican Lolita may have been surprised that the American Kevin Johnson communicated with her in a more informal way at a formal work meeting. , and therefore felt offended, as he took into account the type of cultural communication in his country of origin, disregarding the intercultural differences in communication that occur in different countries.
So the ideal is that in a case like the one described in the question, where there are negotiations for business deal with international companies, employees are prepared to relate professionally with different types of people, observing the type of communication context, understanding that there are differences intercultural experiences that imply in the way people relate to each other even in the work environment, and above all, maintain ethics and respect for each and every culture different from yours.

Precious Metal Mining has $17 million in sales, its ROE is 13%, and its total assets turnover is 4x. Common equity on the firm’s balance sheet is 55% of its total assets. What is its net income? Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate steps.
Answer:
net income = $303,875
Explanation:
total sales $17 million
return on equity (ROE) = 13% = net income / stockholders' equity
asset turnover = 4 = total sales / average total assets
common equity = 55% of assets
first we must determine average total assets:
average total assets = total sales / 4 = $17 million / 4 = $4.25 million
common equity = 55% x total assets = 55% x $4.25 million = $2,337,500
ROE = 13% = net income / $2,337,500
net income = 13% x $2,337,500 = $303,875
1. Identify each account as asset (A), liability (L), or equity (E).2. Identify whether the account is increased with a debit (DR) or credit (CR).3. Identify whether the normal balance is a debit (DR) or credit (CR).a. Interest Revenueb. Accounts Payablec. Common Stockd. Office Suppliese. Advertising Expensef. Unearned Revenueg. Prepaid Renth. Utilities Expensei. Dividendsj. Service Revenue Requirements
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
.a. Interest Revenue. This is EQUITY. It increase with a CREDIT. Normal Balance is CREDIT.
Interests Revenue is earned like revenue and as such is credited. In the balance sheet it will be with Equity as it increases the Retained Earnings of a firm.
b. Accounts Payable. LIABILITY.
Increases by CREDIT.
Normal Balance is CREDIT.
Accounts Payable are the result of buying goods on account meaning the firm owes the entities in question. It is credited to show an increase.
c. Common Stock. EQUITY.
Increases by CREDIT.
Normal Balance is CREDIT.
As a Capital balance, common stock is credited to show and increase and debited to show a decrease because it signifies that the business owes the holders/owners.
d. Office Supplies. ASSET
Increase by DEBIT.
Normal Balance is CREDIT.
As an asset, Office Supplies is recorded in the debit section and is debited to show increase.
e. Advertising Expense. EQUITY.
Increases by DEBIT.
Normal Balance is DEBIT.
Increases by DEBIT.
Advertising as an expense is taken from the Revenue. This makes it am Equity item. When it is debited, it increases and this normal Balance reflects a debit balance.
f. Unearned Revenue. LIABILITY.
INcrease is CREDITED
Normal Balance is CREDIT.
Unearned Revenue is a liability because the company owes performance to an entity for work that they have already been paid for. As such it's balance is increased by a Credit.
g. Prepaid Rent. ASSET.
Increase by DEBIT.
Normal Balance is DEBIT.
Prepaid rent means that the company paid for rent in advance and so it owed till the rent can be apportioned to a particular period. For this reason it is an asset and increases by DEBIT.
h. Utilities Expense. EQUITY.
Increases by DEBIT.
Nomal Balance is DEBIT.
As an expense that goes from the revenue it is an equity item and increases by debit. Normal Balance is also debit.
i. Dividends. EQUITY.
Increases by DEBIT.
Normal Balance is DEBIT.
Dividends are paid from Retained Earnings and as such belong in the Equity section. Dividends increase by being debited.
j. Service Revenue. EQUITY.
Increase by CREDIT.
Normal Balance is CREDIT.
As Revenue for the business it belongs in the EQUITY section. It is added to retained earnings and as it is revenue, it increases when it is credited.
A bond was issued three years ago at a price of $1,050 with a maturity of six years, a yield-to-maturity (YTM) of 6.50% compounded semi-annually, and a face value of $1,000 with semi-annualy coupons. What is the price of this bond today immediately after the receipt of today's coupon if the YTM has risen to 7.75% compounded semi-annually
Answer:
$967.20
Explanation:
the YTM formula = {coupon + [(face value - present value)/time]} / [(face value + present value)/2]
to determine the coupon rate we fill the equation with the known factors:
0.065 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 1,050)/12]} / [(1,000 + 1,050)/2]
0.065 = (coupon - 41.67) / 1,025
66.625 = coupon - 4.167
coupon = 66.625 + 4.167 = $70.792
three years later, the YTM = 7.5%, what is the PV? Again we use the YTM formula:
0.0775 = {70.792 + [(1,000 - x)/6]} / [(1,000 + x)/2]
0.0775(500 + 0.5x) = 70.792 + 166.67 - 0.1667x
38.75 + 0.03875x = 237.462 - 0.1667x
0.20545x = 198.712
x = 198.712 / .20545
x = $967.20
Purpose of Assignment The purpose of this assignment is for students to employ capital budgeting techniques using time value of money concepts to determine the acceptability of large dollar value assets. Assignment Steps Scenario: A firm has projected free cash flows of $575,000 for Year 1, $625,000 for Year 2, and 650,000 for Year 3, $725,000 for Year 4, and 850,000 for Year 5. The projected terminal value at the end of Year 5 is $6,000,000. The firm's Weighted Average cost of Capital (WACC) is 12.5%. Create a Microsoft® Excel® document to determine the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) value of the firm based on the information provided above. Recommend acceptance of this project using net present value criteria using a Microsoft® Word® document. Include up to what level of initial investment you would accept the project? Why? Give a complete explanation of up to 350 words. Display your calculations. Coursehero
Answer:
Present Value 5,715,331.32
We are going to accept the project only if the initial investment is at 5,715,331 or below in order to achieve the return to support the cost of capital structure of the company
Accepting a project with a higher cost will not generate enought cashflow to sustain the patyment of debt and the return expected from the stockholders therefore, will generate a economic result and investor will leave the company for other which can sustain their desired return.
Explanation:
We are going to discount the yearly cash-flow at the given rate of 12.50%
then, the terminal value which is the present value of the future period will also be discounted at this rate.
The sum of all this will be the present value of the firm.

Adams operates his $57500 firm using his own equity. Bob operates his firm with $28750 of his own money plus $28750 of debt at a cost of 5 percent interest. Calculate Adams's and Bob's return on equity if their respective businesses produce earnings before interest and tax of $7000. Assume perfect markets.
Answer:
Adam return on equity is 12.1%. while Bob return on equity is 19.3%
Explanation:
Given that:
Now,
For Adam:
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) = Net income + Interest + Taxes
EBIT = $7000
The equity of shareholders = $57500
The number of debt by which Adams shows no interest expense and no tax expense as perfect market presumed is stated s follows:
ROE = Net income /Average Shareholder Equity
=$7000/$57500
=0.121739
Therefore, Adam return on equity is 12.1%
For Bob
The equity of shareholders = $28750
The expense (interest) = Debt * Interest rate
=$28750 * 0.05
= 1437.5
Thus
Net income = EBIT - Interest
= 7000 -1437.5
=5562.5
Now,
ROE = Net income /Average Shareholder Equity
=5562.5 /$28750
= 0.19347
=19.3%
Therefore, Bob return on equity is 19.3%

Disposal of Fixed Asset Equipment acquired on January 6 at a cost of $483,000, has an estimated useful life of 10 years and an estimated residual value of $63,000. a. What was the annual amount of depreciation for the Years 1-3 using the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer: $42,000
Explanation:
Using a straight line Depreciation method means that the Equipment will be depreciated uniformly throughout it's life. i.e by the same amount.
Depreciation = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life
= (483,000 - 63,000) / 10
= 420,000/10
= $42,000
The annual Depreciation amount for Year 1 - 3 is $42,000 and will be the same as long as the Equipment is in service.

Nenn Co.'s allowance for uncollectible accounts was $190,000 at the end of 2024 and $200,000 at the end of 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Nenn reported bad debt expense of $26,000 in its income statement. What amount did Nenn debit to the appropriate account in 2024 to write off actual bad debts?
Answer:
The amount Nenn debited to write off of actual bad debt is $36,000
Explanation:
Allowance for Uncollectible beginning = $200,000
Allowance for Uncollectible at the end = $190,000

Crane Company sells its product for $60 per unit. During 2019, it produced 48000 units and sold 40000 units (there was no beginning inventory). Costs per unit are: direct materials $15, direct labor $9, and variable overhead $3. Fixed costs are: $576000 manufacturing overhead, and $72000 selling and administrative expenses. Under absorption costing, what amount of fixed overhead is deferred to a future period?
Answer:
$96,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of fixed overhead is deferred to a future period is shown below:
= Unsold units × fixed overhead cost per unit
= 8,000 units × ($576,000 ÷ 48,000 units)
= 8,000 units × $12
= $96,000
The unsold units is
= Produced units - sold units
= 48,000 units - 40,000 units
= 8,000 units
By multiplying the unsold units with the fixed overhead cost per unit we can get the amount of fixed overhead deferred for a future period and the same is to be considered

Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use. Calculate Kevin's cost of goods sold for the year.?
Answer:
COGS= $598,020
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use.
We need to deduct the inventory used for personal use.
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
COGS= 67,000 + 610,000 - 77,200 - 1,780
COGS= $598,020

local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $111across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $105neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $95Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($105)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.
Problem 15-12 Below is a list of prices for zero-coupon bonds of various maturities. Maturity (Years) Price of $1,000 Par Bond (Zero-Coupon) 1 $ 974.85 2 882.39 3 847.70 a. A 5.6% coupon $1,000 par bond pays an annual coupon and will mature in 3 years. What should the yield to maturity on the bond be? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If at the end of the first year the yield curve flattens out at 6.5%, what will be the 1-year holding-period return on the coupon bond? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a. 5.63%
b. 5.72%
Explanation:
to calculate YTM of zero coupon bonds:
YTM = [(face value / market value)¹/ⁿ] - 1
YTM₁ = [(1,000 / 974.85)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 2.58%YTM₂ = [(1,000 / 882.39)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 6.46%YTM₃ = [(1,000 / 847.70)¹/ⁿ] - 1 = 5.66%a. A 5.6% coupon $1,000 par bond pays an annual coupon and will mature in 3 years. What should the yield to maturity on the bond be?
the bond's current market price:
$1,000 / 1.0566³ = $847.75$56/1.0258 + 56/1.0646² + 56/1.0566³ = $54.59 + $49.41 + $47.47 = $151.47current market price = $999.22YTM = [C + (FV - PV)/n] / [(FV + PV)/2] = [56 + (1,000 - 999.22)/3] / [(1,000 + 999.22)/2] = (56 + 0.26) / 999.61 = 5.63%
b. If at the end of the first year the yield curve flattens out at 6.5%, what will be the 1-year holding-period return on the coupon bond?
the bond's current market price:
$1,000 / 1.065³ = $827.85$56/1.0258 + 56/1.065² + 56/1.065³ = $54.59 + $49.37 + $46.36 = $150.32current market price = $978.17you invest $978.17 in purchasing the bond and you receive a coupon of $56, holding period return = $56 / $978.17 = 5.72%
. Gwen is leading a meeting and wants to make sure that they stick to the agenda and end on time. What should she do to move the meeting along? a. Say as much as possible during the meeting. b. Move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. c. Not worry so much about time; the most important thing is to make sure that all agenda items are discussed fully. d. Ask anyone who monopolizes the conversation to leave.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
When leading a meeting with many different topics, the best way to move the meeting along faster so that it ends in time is to move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. This would remove the unimportant topics from that specific meeting and allow the very specific important topics to be discussed thoroughly in that meeting, thus moving it along but still being as efficient as possible. The divergent topics can be scheduled to be discussed at a later date when they are of a higher priority.
Suppose all individuals are identical, and their monthly demand for Internet access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q where p is price in $ per hour and q is hours per month. The firm faces a constant marginal cost of $1. If the firm will charge a monthly access fee plus a per hour rate, the monthly access fee will equal A. $5. B. $16. C. $1. D. $8.
Answer: B) $16
Explanation:
First lets take down the data given to us;
access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q i.e 5 - 0.5q
Using the concept of two-part terrific which is a monopolistic market system, it is type of price discrimination where the price of goods and services are of two section namely; a lump-sum fee (expensive) as well as a per-unit charge .
Entry fees are set to be equal to the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium.
So we calculate our price and quantity in the competitive equilibrium first, marginal cost is equal to price
5 - 0.5q = 1
4 / 0.5 = q
q = 8
Now the intercept of the demand curve at the vertical axis is 5,
so the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium is:
M = (5 - 1) * 8 / 2
M = 4 * 4
M = 16
the monthly access fee will be equal to $16.

As an employee in the Lottery Commission, your job is to design a new prize. Your idea is to create two grand prize choices: (1) receiving $50,000 at the end of each year beginning in one year for 20 consecutive years, or (2) receiving $500,000 today followed by a one-time payment at the end of 20 years. Using an interest rate of 6%, which of the following comes closest to the amount prize (2) needs to pay at the end of year 20 in order that both prizes to have the same present value?
a. $ 326,649
b. $ 440,463
c. $ 114,932
d. $ 393,342
e. $ 235,712
Answer:
The correct option is $235,712,option E
Explanation:
The present value of prize(1) can be computed by using the excel pv formula as shown below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is interest rate of 6%
nper is the number of years payment would be made which is 20
pmt is the amount of money received per year which is $50,000
fv is the total future worth of the prize (1) which is unknown
=-pv(6%,20,50000,0)
=$573,496.06
The difference between present value of prize(1) $573,496.06 and $500,000 receivable from prize (2) today is $73,496.06
The difference is today's worth, its future worth can be computed thus:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
PV is $73,496.06
r is 6%
n is 20 years
FV=$73,496.06*(1+6%)^20 =$ 235,711.82
The amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B. $440,463.
Data and Calculations:
N (# of periods) = 20 years
I/Y (Interest per year) = 6%
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $50,000
FV (Future Value) = $0
Results:
Present Value (PV) = $573,496.06
Sum of all periodic payments = $1,000,000.00
Total Interest = $426,503.94
Thus, the amount that prize (2) needs to pay after 20 years so that both prizes bear the same present value is closer to Option B.

Brian and Kim have a 12-year-old child, Stan. For 2019, Brian and Kim have taxable income of $52,000, and Stan has interest income of $4,500. Click here to access the income tax rate schedules. If Stan's parents elected to report Stan's income on his parents' return, what would the tax on Stan's income be?
Answer:
The answer is $393
Explanation:
Solution
In this case, we will find the tax on Stan's income which is stated below:
Stan's adjusted gross income = 4500
The standardized deduction = 1050
The unearned taxable income = 3450
With ordinary rate, the less statutory deduction is = 1050
The taxable income that is subject to his parent's rate = 2400
The tax with ordinary rate = (1050 * 10%) =105
The Tax with parent's rate is = (2400 * 12%) = 288
Hence,
The tax on Stan's income would be = 105 + 288 = $393

Suppose Binder corporatio's common stock has a return of 17.61 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.68 percent, the market return is 12.4 percent and there is no unsystematic risk affecting Binder's return. Given the one-factor arbitrage pricing model, what is the factor beta
Answer:
1.597
Explanation:
The computation of the factor beta using the one-factor arbitrage pricing model is shown below:
As we know that
= (Expected rate of return - risk-free rate of return) ÷ (market rate of return-risk-free rate of return)
= (17.61% - 3.68%) ÷ (12.4% - 3.68%)
= 1.597
We simply applied the above formula to determine the factor beta and the same is to be considered
Among the 1,000 policyholders of the auto insurance company, 400 are classified as low-risk drivers and 600 are classified as high-risk drivers. In each month, the probability of zero accidents for high-risk drivers is 0.80 and the probability of zero accidents for low-risk drivers is 0.90. Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policy
Answer:
50,400
Explanation:
We are required to
Calculate the expected bonus payment from the insurer to the 1000 policyholders in one year:
X = case of 0 accident
E[X] = 400 x P(X | low risk) + 600 x P (X | high risk)
= (400 x 0.9) + (600 x 0.8)
= 840
Expected bonus = 840 x 5 dollars x 12 months
= 50400
Consider the business Dave’s Doughnuts. Which of the following is a sunk cost of this business? Group of answer choices The monthly rent Dave must pay to use a building downtown The wages Dave pays to his workers who make the doughnuts The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor The salary that Dave could be earning elsewhere if he didn’t own the business None of the above
Answer:
The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor
Explanation:
A sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. It is money that has already been spent. Sunk costs are bygone and are not to be considered when deciding whether to continue an investment project.
The expenses that went into research and development of a new doughnut flavor is a sunk cost since the cost has been incurred already and cannot be recovered because it is not a relevant cost.
