Explanation:
We can use the nper formula in excel to compute the doubling time for the capital real GDP of both countries
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
FV is the future real GDP which $28,900*2=$57,800 for France while that of Korea is $25,400 ($12,700*2)
PV is the present real GDP
rate is the economic growth rate of 4.2% in Korea and 1.9% in France
France=nper(1.9%,0,-28900,57800)= 36.83
Korea=nper(4.2%,0,-12700,25400)= 16.85
In 2045 ,which is 42 years from now the real GDP are shown thus:
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(1.9%,42,0,-28900)=$63,710.88
=fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)=fv(4.2%,42,0,-12700)=$ 71,490.43
Trudy is Jocelyn's friend. Trudy looks after Jocelyn's four-year-old son during the day so Jocelyn can go to work. During the year, Jocelyn paid Trudy $4,180 to care for her son. What is the amount of Jocelyn's child and dependent care credit if her AGI for the year was $31,800
Answer:
The answer is $810
Explanation:
Solution
Child and dependent care credit is certain percentage of qualifying care expenses based on the adjusted gross income. The maximum qualifying amount of daycare expenses is $3,000 per qualifying person.
Now from this example, Jocelyn had paid $4,180 to take care of her son and so,the qualifying amount of care expenses will be $3,000.
Since GI for the year is $31,800, the child and dependent care credit will be 27% of the qualifying care expenses that is,. $3,000 * 27% = $810

The following cost information pertains to new vitamin:Chemical compound $1.25/bottlePackaging/label $0.35/bottleDeveloper royalties $1.00 bottleAdvertising and promotion $675,000Barbco overhead $500,000Selling price per bottle to distributor $9.00Based on the above, answer the following three questions.Based on the information provided above:Dollar contribution per bottle?Based on the information provided above:Net profit if 1 million bottles are sold?Based on the information provided above:Necessary unit volume to achieve a $200,000 profit.
Answer:
$6.4
$ 5,225,000
214,844 units
Explanation:
Contribution per unit is the selling price per unit minus the variable cost
selling price per bottle is $9.00
variable cost=cost of chemical compound per bottle+ packaging/label+ cost of royalties
variable cost=$1.25+$0.35+$1.00=$2.6
Contribution per unit=$9.00-$2.60=$6.4
net profit of 1 million:
Sales ($9*1000,000) $9,000,000
variable cost($2.6*1,000,000) ($2,600,000)
contribution $6,400,000
Fixed costs($675,000+$500,000) ($1,175,000)
Net profit $ 5,225,000
Unit volume to achieve profit of $200,000=fixed cost+ target profit/contribution per unit=($1,175,000+$200,000)/6.4= 214,844
You plan to borrow money from your grandmother to start a new chocolate candy business. You agree to make one payment of $100,000 at the end of 6 years and negotiate an interest rate of 7%. Your grandmother has offered to reduce either the interest rate or the number of years before the $100,000. Assuming your grandmother will lend you the present value of the final payment and that you want to borrow as much as possible today, which option would you prefer?
Answer:
future payment $100,000 in 6 years
agreed interest rate 7%
the present value of the $100,000:
PV = $100,000 / (1 + 7%)⁶ = $66,634
if your grandmother really likes you and offers to either reduce the interest rate or the number of years, you should choose a reduction in the interest rate:
PV at 6% = $100,000 / (1 + 6%)⁶ = $66,634
PV at 5% = $100,000 / (1 + 5%)⁶ = $74,622
PV at 4% = $100,000 / (1 + 4%)⁶ = $79,031
PV at 3% = $100,000 / (1 + 3%)⁶ = $83,748
PV at 2% = $100,000 / (1 + 2%)⁶ = $88,797
PV at 1% = $100,000 / (1 + 1%)⁶ = $94,205
the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of the $100,000

You purchase both potatoes and gasoline regularly. Your income decreases, and you purchase less gasoline. This means that: Gasoline is a normal good. Potatoes are inferior goods. Gasoline has a negative substitution effect. Gasoline is an inferior good.
Answer:
Gasoline is a normal good
Explanation:
Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls
Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.
Because the demand for gasoline falls when income falls, gasoline is a normal good.

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%.

Faber Products has $35 million of sales and $9.75 million of net income. Its total assets are $150 million. Assume the company’s total assets equal total invested capital, and its capital structure consists of 40% debt and 60% common equity. The firm’s interest rate is 4%, and its tax rate is 21%. What would happen if this firm used less leverage (debt)?
Answer:
If the firm uses less leverage, its ROE will decrease since the cost of equity is much higher than the cost of debt. If all debt is eliminated, then ROE will decrease to 7.764% from 10.83%.
Explanation:
net income = $9.75 million
capital structure:
$90 million equity$60 million debtinterest rate = 4% and tax rate = 21%
current return on equity (ROE) = $9.75 / $90 = 10.83%
current return of assets (ROA) = $9.75 / $150 = 6.5%
cost of debt = 4% x (1 - 21%) = 3.16%
if the company issues more equity to lower debt to 0, then:
net income = $9.75 + [$60 million x 4% x (1 - 21%)] = $9.75 + $1.896 = $11.646 million
return on equity (ROE) = $11.646 / $150 = 7.764%
return of assets (ROA) = $11.646 / $150 = 7.764%

True or False : When you are thinking of something you want to predict, measure, or change in your business, you are probably thinking of a dependent variable.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Dependent variables are variables which are altered by the changes to the independent factors or variables.
The following are instances of dependent and independent variables:
Dependent Variable (DV): Profit, Product Quality, Staff Attrition during a recession.
Profit (DV) depends on sales, expenses, the economy, the proficiency of the sales staff, the quality of the product.
The Quality of the Product (DV) depends on the production process, product design, quality of raw materials etc
So, many of the factors highlighted above, which affect the dependent variables are called Independent variable.
Profit, for instance, can be forecasted or changed IF changes are made to sales.
It is possible to measure the quality of a product or service. It can also be altered by increasing or decreasing the quality of raw material input.

required:
compute the number and total cost of unit available for sale in the year 2020?
Answer:
25,500 units
Cost of goods available for sale is $215,625.00
Explanation:
The available for sale units in the year is the sum of opening stock of inventory and purchases made in the course of the year as spelt below:
Quantity Price per unit $ total value $
Opening stock 6,500 8.25 53,625.00
Purchases(Jan7) 9,000 8.00 72,000.00
Purchases(Jan 21) 10,000 9.00 90,000.00
Total 25,500 215,625.00
The total number of goods available for sale is 25,500 units
The total cost of goods available for sale is $215,625
The cost of goods sold would then be the costs of goods available for sale less the value of closing stock of inventory
Bluebird Mfg. has received a special one-time order for 15,000 bird feeders at $3.50 per unit. Bluebird currently produces and sells 75,000 units at $7.50 each. This level represents 80% of its capacity. These bird feeders would be marketed under the wholesaler's name and would not affect Bluebird's sales through its normal channels. Production costs for these units are $4.25 per unit, which includes $2.50 variable cost and $1.75 fixed cost. If Bluebird accepts this additional business, the effect on net income will be:
Answer:
Effect on income= $15,000 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Offer= 15,000 bird feeders at $3.50 per unit.
Production costs:
$2.50 variable cost
Because it is a special offer that won't affect actual sales and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
Effect on income= 15,000*(3.5 - 2.5)
Effect on income= $15,000 increase
Elegant Limited sells restored classic cars. Most of its customers are private buyers who buy cars for themselves. However, some of them are investors who buy multiple cars and hold them for resale. All sales of Elegant Limited are for cash.
Depict the association and cardinality for the sales of cars at Elegant Limited based on REA model. (10 marks, maximum 300 words)
Answer:
Elegant Limited
Depiction of the Association and Cardinality for the sales of cars:
1. Association: At Elegant Limited, for a car to be sold, a relationship must be established between Elegant Limited and some of its customers (private buyers and investors). A sale of car involve the exchange of economic resources. While Elegant Limited exchanges the cars for cash receipts, the customers exchange their cash for cars. Two economic resources are involved in the sale of cars, which are exchanged between two economic agents (Elegant Limited and customers) in a business event.
2. Cardinality: In each of the economic events involving the sale of cars to customers and the receipt of cash from customers, two elements are involved, which are the exchanges of resources. Cars and Cash are the elements that show their cardinality in the economic event. These elements are known as economic resources.
Explanation:
a) The REA Model is a tool for modelling business processes. In the sales process, one event would be the “sales of cars,” occasioning the giving of cars for “cash receipt,” the other event. These two events are linked as a cash receipt occurs in exchange for a sale, and vice versa. The REA Model was originally proposed in 1982 by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model, and contained the concepts of resources, events and agents, according to wikipedia.com.
b) Association refers to the relationship existing when an event takes place. At least, two persons are impacted by any event, the giver and the receiver. For an economic event involving the exchange of resources to happen, two economic agents are involved. Otherwise, no transaction can take place. The seller of cars (Elegant Limited) and the buyers (Customers both private and investors).
c) Cardinality refers to the elements that make up an economic event, for example. The sale of cars and receipt of cash are economic events happening in a business relationship between Elegant Limited and Customers. The elements that make up the events are the resources (cars and cash), which are exchanged.

Case A Case B Case C Net Income Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income to net Cash provided by operating activities Depreciation Changes in Assets and Liabilities Accounts Receivable Inventory Accounts Payable Accrued Liabilities Net Cash Provided by OperatingActivities
Answer: Please see below
Explanation: The values from the question are scattered, but here is how they should appear
Case A Case B Case C
Net income $310,000 15,000 $420,000
Depreciation expense 40,000 150,000 80,000
Accounts receivable increase
(decrease 100,000 (200,000) (20,000)

Accounts payable increase (50,000) 120,000 70,000
Accrued liabilities increase
(decrease) 60,000 (220,000) (40,000)
To calculate the operating activities section of cash flows for each of the given cases,
we use the Indirect method formula
Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Non-Cash Expenses – Increase in Working Capital
Net cash flow from operating actvities =Net Income +/- Changes in Assets & Liabilities + Non-Cash Expenses
Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Depreciation + Stock Based Compensation + Deferred Tax + Other Non Cash Items – Increase in Accounts Receivable – Increase in Inventory + Increase in Accounts Payable + Increase in Accrued Expenses + Increase in Deferred Revenue
Following the formulae above, we can determine what expense should be added or subtracted to give the operating activities of cash flow below as
Case A Case B Case C
Net Income $310,000 15,000 $420,000
Net Income Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income to net Cash provided by operating activities

You purchased GARP stock one year ago at a price of $67.67 per share. Today, you sold your stock and earned a total return of 18.79 percent. The stock paid dividends of$2.92 per share over the year. What was the capital gains yield on your investment
Answer:
14.48%
Explanation:
The capital gains yield on the investment is increase in share price divided by the initial price paid to acquire the share a year ago.
The total return formula can be used to figure the price the stock was when sold as below:
total return =P1-Po+D/Po
P1 is the current price which is unknown
Po is the initial price of $67.67
total return is 18.79%
D is the dividend of $2.92
0.1879=P1-67.67+2.92/67.67
0.1879*67.67=P1-64.75
12.72=P1-64.75
P1=12.72+64.75
P1=77.47
Capital gains yield=(77.47 -67.67)/67.67=14.48%

A 7.5% percent annual coupon bond with 20 years to maturity, selling for 104 percent of par. The bonds make semiannual payments. What is the before tax cost of debt? If the tax rate is 40%, what is the after-tax cost of debt?
The firm’s beta is 1.2. The risk-free rate is 4.0% and the expected market return is 9%. What is the cost of equity using CAPM?
Answer:
Before tax cost of debt is 7.12%
After tax cost of debt is 4.27%
Cost of equity is 10%
Explanation:
The before-tax cost of debt can be determined using excel rate formula as found below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of semiannual payments the bond has i.e 20*2=40
pmt is the amount of semiannual payment=$1000*7.5%*6/12=$ 37.50
pv is the current price =$1000*104%=$1,040.00
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(40,37.50,-1040,1000)=3.56%
The 3.56% is semiannual yield, hence 7.12% per year (3.56%*2)
After-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-t) where is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
after-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-0.40)=4.27%
Cost of equity is determined using the below CAPM formula:
Ke=Rf+Beta*(Mr-Rf)
Rf is the risk free rate of 4%
Beta is 1.2
Mr is the market return of 9%
Ke=4%+1.2(9%-4%)=10.00%
Porter's Five Forces framework has been around since the 1980's and has been very effective in evaluating industry attractiveness. Changes in the dynamic nature of industries has not impacted the usefulness of the tool. The tool has no limitations. Group of answer choices
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Porter's Five Forces framework is a list of factors which provide an explanation to the forces affecting competition in industries. These five forces include;
1. Competition in the industry
2. Potential of new entrants into the industry
3. Power of suppliers
4. Power of customers
5. Threat of substitute products
Over the years, these five forces have been used in explaining the structure of certain industries. The framework however has limitations, some of which include,
1. It is not in terms with current realities, such as new advancements in technology which were not available as at the time the framework was formed.
2. Some companies operate different structures, whereas, the framework classifies each industry under one structure.
3. There is the possibility of industries to give equal consideration to all five factors, whereas in reality only some of the factors might be applicable to them.
4. Individual companies instead of industries now use the framework to make their business analysis which is not the real reason for the development of the framework. It was meant for industries as a whole.

HAW, Inc. plans to pay a $1.10 dividend per share in 3 months and a $1.15 dividend in 6 months. HAW's share price today is $45.60 and the continuously compounded quarterly interest rate is 2.1%. What is the price of a forward contract, which expires immediately after the second dividend?
Answer:
$45.28
Explanation:
The computation of price of a forward contract is shown below:-
Cash flows Future Value Amount Amount
A $45.60 $45.6 × exponential(0.021 × 2) $47.55599
B $1.10 $1.10 × exponential(0.021 × 1) $1.123344
C $1.15 $1.15 × exponential(0.021 × 0) $1.15
So, The value of forwards contract = Amount of A - Amount of B - Amount of C
= $47.55 - $1.12334 - $1.15
= $45.28
A mine is for sale for $240,000. It is believed the mine will produce a profit of $65,000 the first year, but the profit will decline $5,000 a year after that, eventually reaching zero, whereupon the mine will be worthless. What rate of return would this $240,000 investment produce for the purchaser of the mine
Answer:
60.4%
Explanation:
Initial cost = $240,000
profit of first year = $65,000
this is reduced subsequently until it reaches zero
Note that this value reduces in an arithmetic progression from $65,000 , $60,000, ... , 0
the first term A1 = 65,000
the common difference d is 60,000 - 65,000 = -5000
the last term is An = 0
we calculate for number of terms
An = A1 + (n - 1)d
0 = 65,000 + (n - 1)(-5000)
0 = 65,000 - 5000n +5000
5000n = 70,000
n = 14
using the equation for summation of terms in an arithmetic progression Sn, we solve as
Sn = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex][2A1 + (n - 1)d]
Sn = [tex]\frac{14}{2}[/tex][2(60,000) + (14 - 1)(-5000)]
Sn = 7[120,000 - 65,000]
Sn = 7 x 55,000
Sn = $385,000. This is the total profit on the mine
rate of return = (385,000 - 240,000)/240,000 = 145,000/240,000 = 0.604

To a greater or lesser degree, many governments can be considered pragmatic nationalists when it comes to foreign direct investment (FDI); this means it has both benefits and costs. FDI can benefit a host country by bringing capital, technology, and jobs, and it can also have a negative effect on a country's balance of payments. Accordingly, government policies are shaped by a consideration of these costs and benefits of FDI.
Home countries can adopt policies designed to both encourage and restrict FDI. Host countries try to attract FDI by offering incentives and try to restrict FDI by dictating ownership restraints and requiring that foreign multinational enterprises (MNE) meet specific performance requirements.
Roll over each item on the left to read its description. Determine whether the scenario represents a benefit or cost to the home or host country, and then drag it to the appropriate place on the chart.
HOST-COUNTRY BENEFIT HOST-COUNTRY COST
HOME-COUNTRY BENEFIT HOME-COUNTRY COST
-outflow of earnings from a foreign subsidiary
a- loss of jobs
b-inflows of foreign earnings
c-substitute for imports
d-loss of economic independence
e-increase in direct and indirect empolyment
f-skills that can be leveraged internationally
g-loss of local entreprenurship
h-Host country limits profit expatriation
i-transfer of new technology
Answer:
Home Country Benefit
b - inflows of foreign earnings.
The Company operating in the Host Country will send some of it's profits back to it's Home Country and this will be treated as Foreign Earnings.
f-skills that can be leveraged internationally.
The Home Country will gain skills from their experience in the Host Country. These skills can then be used to be competitive on the global market.
Home Country Cost
a- loss of jobs
The Home Country would lose the jobs that it's companies created in the Host Country. These are jobs that could have employed people in the Home Country but now employ people in the Host Country.
h-Host country limits profit expatriation
In order that they don't lose too much money to the Home Country, the Host Country might come up with laws that limit the amount of money that can be taken out from the country this limiting the amount of foreign Earnings that the Home country gets.
Host Country Benefit
c-substitute for imports
The products that the companies founded by FDI are producing could have been products that the Host Country used to import. Now that the goods are being made in the Host Country, there will be no need for imports.
e-increase in direct and indirect employment
The companies founded by FDI in the Host Countries will create employment for people in the company which is direct employment. Many auxiliary services such as drivers and caterers as an example will also spring up to take care of these newly employed folk thereby creating indirect employment.
i-transfer of new technology
The Company formed from FDI will bring with them technology from the Home Country that could be very beneficial to the Host Country.
Host Country Costs.
- Outflow of earnings from a foreign subsidiary
The Companies established through FDI will send some of their profits back to their home Countries. This means that the earnings would leave the Host Country instead of being reinvested in them.
d-loss of economic independence
These FDI companies tend to get very influential and powerful in the Host Country and can sometimes dictate policies. This would mean the companies have significant control over the resources of the Host Country which will lead to a loss of Economic independence. This is the main reason most people believe that China is interested in Africa.
g-loss of local Entrepreneurship
These companies created by FDI will bring with them better technology and capital that will enable them to be very competitive in the local Economy. This will discourage local Entrepreneurs who do not have the economic nor the financial backing to challenge the companies without making huge losses.

Logan Company can sell all of the standard and premier products they can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce 8 standard units per hour or 4 premier units per hour, and it has 36,600 production hours available. Contribution margin per unit is $20.00 for the standard product and $23.00 for the premier product. What is the total contribution margin if Logan chooses the most profitable sales mix
Answer:
The most profitable sales mix is 288,000 standard units and 0 premier units.
Explanation:
8 standard units per hour
4 premier units per hour
36,600 production hours available
For standard units, contribution margin per hour = 8 x $20 = $160
For premier units, contribution margin per hour = 4 x $23 = $92
Therefore, most profitable sales mix = 36,000 hours x 8 units per hour of standard product
= 288,000 standard units and 0 premier units.
Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Baldwin to pull the product Bat entirely off the market this year. Assume Baldwin scraps all capacity and inventory this round, completely writing off those assets and escrowing the proceeds to a settlement fund, and assume these lawsuits will have no effect on any other products of Baldwin or other companies. Without Baldwin's product Bat how much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment
Answer:
11550

First, we have to compute the total production capacity which is
Companies Primary Segment Capacity Next Round
Abby Core 2150
Brat Core 1250
Bat Core 1500
Cent Core 1098
Clack Core 1027
Total Capacity 7025
Now
segment without Brat.
So,
Production Capacity
= 7025 - 1250
= 5775
Moreover, the company work in two shifts
So, the production capacity is
= 5775 × 2
= 11550
You own shares in Yahoo that were purchased at a price of $ 24 per share. Microsoft has offered to purchase Yahoo and buy your shares at a price of $ 34 per share. What will be your return if you tender your shares to Microsoft and the deal is completed

Capital gain = 34- 24 = 10
Return = 10/24 × 100 = 41.66666667
Return (%) = 41.67%
Which of the following comes closest to the value at the end of year 6 of investing $600 today (year 0) and then investing another $600 at the end of year 5 if the interest rate is 3%?
a. $ 1,434
b. $ 1,334
c. $ 1,542
