Answer:
It should raise up to 56 percent of taxes
Explanation:
Assume personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates. From a tax-paying shareholder point of view, how should a firm spend its excess cash once it has funded all positive net present value projects
Answer: e. repurchase shares
Explanation:
If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.
The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.

Explanation:
Delta Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company’s normal activity level of 86,400 units per year is: Direct materials $ 2.40 Direct labor $ 2.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 0.90 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.75 Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 1.40 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 1.00 The normal selling price is $22.00 per unit. The company’s capacity is 106,800 units per year. An order has been received from a mail-order house for 1,700 units at a special price of $19.00 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales or the company’s total fixed costs. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? 2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company’s inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. The company does not expect the selling of these inferior units to have any effect on the sales of its current model. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units?
Answer:
1. The financial advantage of accepting the special order is $20,910.
2. The relevant unit cost is the variable selling and administrative expenses of $1.40 per unit.
Explanation:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order?
Since this order would not affect regular sales or the company's total fixed costs, it implies that only the variable costs will be considered to determine the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order.
Therefore, we have:
Total variable cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable selling and administrative expenses = $2.40 + $2.00 + $0.90 + $1.40 = $6.70
Special order financial advantage (disadvantage) = (Special price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order = ($19.00 - $6.70) * 1,700 = $20,910
Therefore, the financial advantage of accepting the special order is $20,910.
2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company’s inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. The company does not expect the selling of these inferior units to have any effect on the sales of its current model. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units?
Since these units are inferior to the current model and must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices, the unit cost that is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units is therefore the variable selling and administrative expenses of $1.40 per unit.
A stationery company makes two types of notebooks: a deluxe notebook with subject di- viders, which sells for $4.00, and a regular notebook, which sells for $3.00. The production cost is $3.20 for each deluxe notebook and $2.60 for each regular notebook. The com- pany has the facilities to manufacture between 2000 and 3000 deluxe and between 3000 and 6000 regular notebooks, but not more than 7000 altogether. How many notebooks of each type should be manufactured to maximize the differ- ence between the selling prices and the production costs
Answer:
A Stationery Company
To maximize contribution (the difference between the selling prices and the production costs), the company should produce 3,000 deluxe and 4,000 regular notebooks.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Deluxe Regular
Selling price per unit $4.00 $3.00
Production cost per unit 3.20 2.60
Contribution per unit $0.80 $0.40
Production capacity = 7,000 notebooks
Range of production 2,000 - 3,000 3,000 - 6,000
Notebooks to produce 3,000 4,000
Maximum contribution $2,400 $1,600 = $4,000

Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report
Common stock Preferred stock APIC
a) $20,000 $60,000 $820,000
b) $20,000 $300,000 $580,000
c) $600,000 $300,000 $0
d) $600,000 $60,000 $240,000
Answer:
Common stock Preferred stock APIC
a) $20,000 $60,000 $820,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report
Calculation to determine the COMMON STOCK
Common stock=20,000 shares*$1
Common stock=$20,000
Calculation to determine PREFERRED STOCK
Preferred stock =6,000 shares*$10
Preferred stock =$60,000
Calculation to determine ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL (APIC)
APIC=[(6000*$50)-(6000*$10)]+[(20,000*$30)+(20,000*$1)]
APIC=($300,000-$60,000)+($600,000-$20,000)
APIC=$240,000+$580,000
APIC=$820,000
Therefore Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report:
Common stock Preferred stock APIC
$20,000 $60,000 $820,000
True or false: a firm with a capital structure containing 70% retained earnings has a marginal cost of capital of $50,000. This indicates that after the first $50,000 of capital raised, retained earnings can no longer provide the 70% equity position of the firms capital structure.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Marginal cost of capital is the total cost of debt and equity which is used to fund business operations. This denotes any additional capital raised to fund the business. If the capital structure has retained earnings of 70% and marginal cost of capital is $50,000. This means the additional cost to raise the fund will be $50,000.

What would cause an economy to be producing at a point inside its production possibilities curve?
Answer:
The correct answer is: the lack of effectivization in the use of their resources inside the economy to obtain the best outcomes possibles.
Explanation:
To begin with, in the economic theory the term known as production possibilities curve refers to a strategic tool, a graphic that can be used by the professionals of the area in order to understand how the economy is working with its resources, if the economy is producing well enough then the economy should be getting great development results and the point inside the graphic should be in the limit of the curve, but if the point is in the inside of the curve then that means that the resources inside that particulary economy are not being fully use to their best in order to obtain the best outcome so that will explain that there is still possibility to expand the production according to the theory of the tool itself.
His decision on what price to charge and how much to produce in the long run will be A. based on optimal plant size determination based on cost minimization. B. to charge even higher prices and produce less quantity compared to short run. C. the same as his short run profit maximizing decision. D. dependent on loss minimization principle.
Answer: A. based on optimal plant size determination based on cost minimization
Explanation:
The information given isn't complete as there are some diagrams attached which I saw online.
Based on the information gotten, the decision on the price to charge and the quantity to produce in the long run will be based on optimal plant size determination based on cost minimization.
It should be noted that the quantity of goods produced in the long run, and the price that'll be charged will depends on optimal size of the plant. In the long, there can be an alteration of the plant size and therefore, the output and price will be determined by the optimal plant size.

The relationship between dividends and the market price of a company's stock. The measure of a company's success in earning a return for the common stockholders. A company's bottom line stated on a per-share basis.
Answer:
Dividend payout ratio - The percentage of earnings paid out as dividends.
Return on Assets ratio - A measure of a company's success in earning a return for all providers of capital.
Dividend yield ratio - The relationship between dividends and the market price of a company's stock.
Return on common stockholder's equity ratio - The measure of a company's success in earning a return for the common stockholders.
Earnings per share - A company's bottom line stated on a per-share basis.
Explanation:
The analysis of financial statements is made by every company from time to time in order to make effective decisions for the future of the company. This evaluation involves plenty of terminologies and ratios that allow the owners to consider different aspects of the company's growth and where it lags behind. For example, The 'Dividend payout ratio' helps the companies to have a check on the amount of money returned by them to their respective shareholders. While 'return on assets ratio' assists them in knowing if the company is able to make adequate profits in comparison to its assets. Similarly, the other terms also help know about the actual status of the company.

Explanation:
Slapshot Company makes ice hockey sticks. Last week, direct materials (wood, paint, Kevlar, and resin) costing $26,000 were put into production. Direct labor of $20,000 (10 workers x 100 hours x $20 per hour) was incurred. Manufacturing overhead equaled $52,000. By the end of the week, the company had manufactured 2,000 hockey stick. Explain how?
Answer:
Slapshot Company
The total production is $98,000 with a unit cost of $49 per hockey stick.
The selling price per unit should be above $49 when marked-up.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Direct materials (wood, paint, Kevlar, and resin) $26,000
Direct labor (10 workers x 100 hours x $20 per hour) 20,000
Manufacturing overhead equaled 52,000
Total production costs = $98,000
Production of hockey stick = 2,000 units
Unit cost of hockey stick = $49 ($98,000/2,000)
Assume that the risk-free rate is 3% and the required return on the market is 9%. What is the required rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.9? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
Required return = 14.4%
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the required rate of return:
Risk free rate = 3%
The required return on the market = 9%
Beta value = 0.9
Use the below formula:
Required return = Risk free rate + (Market risk premimum)(Beta value)
Required return = 3% + (9% - 3%)(1.9)
Required return = 3% + 6%
Required return = 14.4%
Given that the DM price of the ECU was 2.0583 and the DG price of the ECU was 2.3194. Then the DG price of the DM by cross rates is given by:______

You own a portfolio that has a total value of $185,000 and it is invested in Stock D with a beta of .91 and Stock E with a beta of 1.33. The beta of your portfolio is equal to the market beta. What is the dollar amount of your investment in Stock D
Answer:
$145,357.14
Explanation:
The computation of the dollar amount of your investment in Stock D is shown below:
Let us assume the investment in D be $x
So,
The investment in E is ($185,000 - x)
As we know that
Portfolio beta= Respective beta × Respective investment weight
1 = (x ÷ 185,000 × 0.91 ) +(185,000 - x) ÷ 185,000 × 1.33
Here
Beta of market = 1
And, the Beta of risk-free assets=0
(1 × 185000) = 0.91x + 246050 - 1.33x
185,000 = 0.91x + 246050 - 1.33x
x = (246050 - 185,000) ÷ (1.33 - 0.91)
= $145,357.14

If Bangladesh is open to international trade in oranges without any restrictions, it will ___________ tons of oranges. Suppose the Bangladeshi government wants to reduce imports to exactly 120 tons of oranges to help domestic producers. A tariff of _________ per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $_________ in revenue for the Bangladeshi government.
Question Completion:
Assume that the price per ton of oranges in the international market is $810 and equilibrium is established at the price of $900 for 120 tons.
Answer:
If Bangladesh is open to international trade in oranges without any restrictions, it will ____import____ tons of oranges. Suppose the Bangladeshi government wants to reduce imports to exactly 120 tons of oranges to help domestic producers. A tariff of ____$90____ per ton will achieve this. A tariff set at this level would raise $___10,800______ in revenue for the Bangladeshi government.
Explanation:
A tariff of $90 per ton will raise the price of a ton of oranges to $900 ($810 per ton as indicated on the question). When the price is raised to $900 in the domestic market, the quantity demanded will equalize with the quantity supplied at 120 tons.
a 17-year annuity pays $1,100 per month, and payments are made at the end of each month. The interest rate is 16 percent compounded monthly for the first 6 years and 13 percent compounded monthly thereafter. What is the present value of the annuity
Answer:
The present value of the annuity is $73,091.50
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the present value of the annuity
Present value of annuity = ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for first 6 years ) + [ ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for after 6 years ) x Present value factor for 6 years ]
Where
Annuity Payment = $1,000
Annuity factor for first 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 16%/12 )^-(6x12) / 16%/12 = 46.10028344
Annuity factor for after 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 13%/12 )^-((17-6)x12) / 13%/12 = 70.0471029820
Present value factor for 6 years = ( 1 + 16%/12)^-(6x12) = 0.385329554163
Placing values in the formula
Present value of annuity = ( $1,000 x 46.10028344 ) + [ ( $1,000 x 70.0471029820 ) x 0.385329554163 ]
Present value of annuity = $46,100.28 + $26,991.22
Present value of annuity = $73,091.50
A firm has a capital structure with $30 million in equity and $90 million of debt. The cost of equity capital is 11% and the pretax cost of debt is 7%. If the marginal tax rate of the firm is 25%, compute the weighted average cost of capital of the firm.
Answer: 6.69%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is calculated as:
= (Weight of equity * Cost of equity) + (Weight of debt * after-tax cost of debt)
Weight of equity:
= 30 million / (30 + 90 million)
= 25%
Weight of debt:
= 100% - Weight of equity
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
WACC = (25% * 11%) + (75% * 7% *(1 - 25% tax rate))
= 2.75% + 3.9375%
= 6.69%
