Answer:

Explanation:

From the question given; The objective here is to determine the profit maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker. In order to achieve that; The demand supply schedule of the number of units bought and sold need to be computed which is shown in the table below.

Price       Quantity demanded by buyers        Quantity sold by sellers

$14                 1                                                         11

$13                 2                                                         10

$12                 3                                                         9

$11                  4                                                         8

$10                 5                                                         7

$9                  6                                                         6

$8                  7                                                         5

$7                  8                                                         4

$6                  9                                                         3

$5                 10                                                         2

$4                  11                                                         1

However; As the two transactions are happening simultaneously; There are 11 people participating in buying of a good and selling from one person to the other.

But the maximum even number of people that can be part of this trade is only 10 people.

So; for the individual having an higher value for the good will be able to afford it and which are those that falls into the category of  $14,$13,$12,$11,$10,$9 can place bid for the good.

On the other hand,  the individual having a lower  value for the good will sell it and which are those that falls into the category of  $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9 and would want to  sell it for the ask price of the good.

In this trend, we understand that the individual valuing the good for $9 won't be able to participate due to the fact that He appears on both trends because in the demand side , he have the lowest willingness to pay and at the seller's side he has the the highest value for the good and that the equilibrium price in this market is $ 9 because at this price the quantity demanded equals quantity supplied .

Thus; we can conclude that there are 5 transactions in the maximizing bid-ask spread per unit for a market maker.

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Answer:

a) B. Machine 2

b) $220,000

b-2) Yes , positive differential profit.

c-1) $162,000

c-2) Yes , positive differential profit.

Explanation:

B) Differential revenues  = $10.40 x 200,000 = $2,080,000

Differential costs:

Variable cost on new production = $5.20 x 200,000 = $1,040,000

Fixed costs = $820,000

differential profit = $2,080,000 - $1,040,000 - $820,000 = $220,000

c) Differential revenues  = $10.40 x 100,000 = $1,040,000

Differential costs:

Variable cost increase on current production = ($4.62 - $4.10) x 800,000 = $416,000

Variable cost on new production = $4.62 x 100,000 = $462,000

differential profit = $1,040,000 - $878,000 = $162,000

Answer:

Value of treasury Note =$698,494.97

Explanation:

The value of the notes is the present value of the future cash inflows discounted at its YTM of 11%

Value of Notes = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The value of Note can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  :Calculate the PV of Interest payment  

Present value of the interest payment  

PV = Interest payment × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r  

r-Yield to Maturity, n- number of years

Interest payment = 3% × $1,000,000 × 1/2= $15,000 .

Semi-annual interest yield = 11%/2 =5.5%  

PV = 15,000 × (1 - (1.055)^(-5×2)/0.055) = 113,064.3874

Step 2   :PV of redemption Value  

PV of RV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)  

= 1000,000 × (1.055)^(-5×2)  

= 585,430.57

Step 3  

Calculate Value of the Notes

=113,064.3874  + 585,430.57

= $698,494.96

Value of treasury Note =$698,494.97

Answer:

$170,650

Explanation:

economic value added (EVA) = NOPAT – (WACC x capital invested)  

NOPAT = net income x (1 - 21%) = $395,000 x 0.79 = $312,050

WACC = 10%

capital invested = $1,500,000 - $74,000 (accounts payable) - $12,000 (accruals) = $1,414,000

EVA = $312,050 - (10% x $1,414,000) = $312,050 - $141,400 = $170,650

Thus cash dividend paid to common shareholder is $77,000

Answer:

MC = $17

P = $25.5

Explanation:

We proceed as follows;

Firstly calculate MC when e = -2, where MR = MC

(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI

Here P = $34 and e = -2

(34 - MC) / 34= 1/ I-2I

(34 - MC) / 34= 1 / 2

78-2MC = 34

2MC = 34

MC = 34/2

MC = 17

Now, as we have MC, we will calculate the new price when e = -3

(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI

(P - 17) / P = 1 / I-3I

(P - 17) / P = 1 / 3

3P -51 = P

2P = 51

P = 51/2

P = 25.5

Answer: Somewhat less than 50%

Explanation:

Here is the complete question;

Suppose that a labor economist performs a statistical analysis on economywide worker wages using standard, measurable explanatory factors, such as job characteristics, years of schooling, and so forth. How much of the variation in worker wages can be accounted for by such measurable explanatory factors?

a. Somewhat less than 50%.

b. Somewhat more than 60%

c. Nearly 100%

d. About 0%?

The variables which are typically removed from the quantitative analysis of wages are those which cannot be directly measured, directly observed or normative in nature.

Chance plays a vital role in deciding ones wage, the type of job one applies for and gets, and the salary that can be gotten. Chance cannot neither be measured nor observed. Natural ability cannot also be quantified, observed or measured. These variables are also subject to normative judgement.

Based on this analysis, the measurable traits will account for less than 50% of total variation in the wages.

Answer:

The quantity supplied of fresh baked goods will decrease ( B )

Demand for processed baked goods will decrease. ( C )

The demand for fresh baked goods will not change ( E )

Explanation:

When the neighbourhood bakery owners agree to lower prices of goods by 10% it will not have any effect on the demand for fresh baked goods hence the demand for fresh baked goods will not change because the demand for fresh baked goods have an in-elastic curve

Also since there is s drop in price the quantity supplied by the suppliers will decrease. while The demand for processed baked goods will decrease because of the substitute it has in fresh baked goods that just got its price slashed by 10%

Answer:

You need to save $4,012.45 each year

Explanation:

Pertiuty in 20 years  is $50,000.

So the amount must be in account after 30 years saving to enough for above pertiuty is calculated as below:

= $50000/(1+8%)+ $50000/(1+8%)^2+......+$50000/(1+8%)^20

= $50,000 * Annuity Factor ( 1-20 years) of 8%

=$50000*9.818

= $490,907

To have $490,907 (FV) in account after 30 years (tenor), now you have save an amount each year (PMT) calculated as below:

$490,907 = PMT*(1+8%)^30+....PMT*(1+8%)^2 + PMT*(1+8%)

= PMT * Discount Factor ( 1-30 years) of 8%

$490,907 = PMT * 122.346

-> PMT = $490,907/ 122.346

= $4,012.45

4. a.

5. True

Explanation:

1. Remember, a skimming strategy does the opposite–where a company chooses the highest possible price not the lowest price for their product when entering the market.

2. Indeed, this has impacted on production techniques in recent years. For example, from labour intensive car factories in the past we now have fully automated car factories that require very few workforce.

3. Remember, centralization results when there are fewer people in the line of authority. Therefore, if Brights Electronics decision to reorganize and significantly trim its middle management would result in centralized decision making and a better control its total quality management program.

4. Note that the promotional mix involves target based marketing, therefore each target market may have unique characteristics. And to attract each target market would involve establishing a promotional strategy that can reach multiple targets rather than developing a separate promotion mix for each target group.

5. An inverted organization is one that has a reversal from the normal line of authority found in most organization. Instead of top to bottom it now bottom to top. This implies that the manager who normally would play major role in deciding strategies to be taken doesn't, but the bottom line employees performs that responsibility. Thus, School Days Center can be rightly called an inverted organization.

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.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of amount of revenue and gross profit (loss) to be recognized in each of the three years is shown below:-

Sales revenue for the present period  for 2021 = $31,00,000.00 

Sales revenue for the present period  for 2022 =  $46,00,000.00  

Sales revenue for the present period  for 2023 =  $23,00,000.00  

Gross Profit for year 2021 = $5,58,000.00

Gross profit for year 2022 = $8,28,000.00

Gross profit for year 2023 = $2,25,400.00  

To reach the sales revenue we simply deduct the Sales revenue recognized in previous period  from Sales revenue recognized till date for 3 years on the other hand to compute the gross profit we simply deduct the Cost incurred during the year  from Sales revenue for the present period for 3 years.

For clarification we attached the spreadsheet to reach the sales revenue and  gross profit for 3 years.

Answer:

$25,550

Explanation:

For computing the net investment first we have to find out the loss or gain on sale of old equipment which is shown below:

Sale value = $61,200

Less: Book value of old equipment = $60,200

Gain = $1000

Now

Tax on gain is

= $1,000 × 25%

= $250

So, the net gain is

= $1,000 - $250

= $750

Now the net investment is

= Cost of new equipment - sale value pre tax + net gain

= $86,000 - $61,200 + $750

= $25,550

Answer:

Net Investment = $25,550

Explanation:

Given:

Sale value (old equipment) = $61,200

Book value of old equipment = $60,200

New equipment cost = $86,000

Effective tax rate = 25%

Computation

Gain on sale = $61,200 - $60,200

Gain on sale = $1,000

Amount of tax on gain = $1000 × 25%

Amount of tax on gain = $250

Net Gain = Gain on sale - Amount of tax on gain

Net Gain = $750

Net Investment = Cost of new equipment - (Sale value - Net Gain)

Net Investment = $86,200 - (61,200 - 750)

Net Investment = $25,550

If the Actual Overhead is more than the Standard Overhead the Variance is Negative, if the reverse is true then the Variance is Positive.

The formula for the Variance given the details in the question is,

Total Overhead Variance = Standard total Overhead - Actual Overhead

= (Standard hours * Pre-determined Overhead rate) - Actual Hours

= ( 20,600 * 6) - 118,000

= 123,600 - 118,000

= $5,600

The Standard Total Overhead is more than the Actual Total Overhead so the Variance is Positive as Pine Company spent less than it thought it would.

Answer: Dead weight loss-= $3750

Explanation:

QD = 800 – 10P

 QS = 50P – 1,000,

At equilibrium, quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied , so we have that, equating the two equations becomes

800 - 10p = 50p - 1000.

800 + 1000 = 50p + 10p

1800 = 60p

p = $30.

QD= QS= 800 - 10*30 = 500 units

QD= QS= 50x30 -1000= 500 units

Qd = Qs = 500 units.

 When P = $25 by government putting a price ceiling, which is below the equilibrium price,it will  lead to more demand than supply in the market

QD = 800 – 10P

QD= 800-10X25

QD=800-250= 550units

QS = 50P – 1,000,

Qs = 50 X25  - 1000

= 1,250-1000

QS = 250 units.

When quantity demanded =250units as a result of  Quantity supplied  at 250units. we will  have our new price to be

QD = 800 – 10P

250 = 800 - 10p

10p = 800 -250

10p = 550

p = $55.

To calculate  Dead weight Loss, we use the formulae,

0.5 x  (P2 - P1)  x (Q1 - Q2) where P1 and P2 are old and new prices and Q1 AND Q2 are old and new quantities

DWL = 0.5 x (55-25) X (500-250)

= 0.5 x 30x 250

Dead weight loss = $3750.

Answer:

B. Changes in response to a change in volume, but not proportionately.

Explanation:

A semi variable cost (or mixed cost) is a cost or expense that is partially fixed (does not change according to production output) and is also partially variable (changes according to production output). An example of semi variable costs are utilities which have a fixed minimum level per month and they increase as production output increases. Another example is the cost of a car, where insurance and lease payments are fixed but gas and maintenance expenses vary according to the number of miles driven.

Answer:

minimum average total cost of producing the target level of output.

Explanation:

Firms will always seek a profit maximizing output. This means that they will choose a manufacturing plant that allows them to sell more units while keeping the lowest possible marginal costs. This means that they will focus on choosing a production level that minimizes the average total cost for a certain amount of expected production.
