Answer:
the first part of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar one (see attached image):
the cost of hiring a moving crew for 8 hours = $250 per hour x 8 hours = $2,000
the competing company offered you a deal worth $1,200
since you expect to use the moving crew during the whole 8 hours, you will gain = $2,000 - $1,200 = $800 in consumer surplus
Consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer (in this case you) are willing to pay for a good or service and the actual price of the good or service. Consumer should be willing to consumer a good or service as long as the consumer surplus is ≥ 0.
800 dollars of consumer surplus would be earned.
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
You must calculate the cost of hiring the team. This will be done with the following calculation:[tex]250*8=2,000[/tex]
In this case, we can consider that the cost of hiring the team for eight hours of work will be [tex]2,000[/tex] dollars.
Then, we can calculate the difference between the team's hiring price and the $1,200 that the competitor offered. This will be done with the following calculation:
[tex]2,000-1,200=800[/tex]
With that, we can say that the consumer surplus is equal to 800 dollars.
The question above is incomplete. The full question is in the attached image.

Sunland Taxi Service uses the units-of-activity method in computing depreciation on its taxicabs. Each cab is expected to be driven 145,000 miles. Taxi 10 cost $29,500 and is expected to have a salvage value of $500. Taxi 10 was driven 32,000 miles in 2021 and 30,100 miles in 2022.
Answers
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Under the unit of depreciation method, depreciation expense is per unit used.
The calculation of depreciation expense per unit is as per the formula.
DE per unit (Asset Cost − Salvage Value)/ Estimated Production Output
For Tax 10:
=($29,500- $500 ) /145,000 miles
= $29,000/145,000
=$0.2
The depreciation expense is $0.2 per mile.
Depreciation for 2021 will be depreciation per mile multiplied by miles driven.
=32,000 x $0.2
=$6,400
Depreciation for 2022
=30100 x $0.2
=$6,020

The Carbon coal company has 2 mines, a surface mine ad a deep mine. it costs $200 per day to operate the surface mine and $250 to operate the deep mine. Each mine produces a medium grade and a medium-hard grade coal, but in different proportions. This surface mine produces 12 tons of medium grade and 6 tons of medium-hard grade coal per day, and the deep mine produces 4 tons of medium grade and 8 tons of medium-hard grade coal every day. The company has a contract to deliver at least 600 tons of medium grade and 480 tons of medium-hard grade coal within 60 days. How many days should each mine be operated so that the contract can be filled at minimum cost
Answers
Answer:
The company should operate the surface mine for 40 days and the deep mine for 30 days. Total costs = $15,500
Explanation:
we have to minimize the following equation: 200S + 250D
where:
S = surface mine
D = deep mine
the constraints are:
12S + 4D ≥ 600 (medium grade coal constraint)
6S + 8D ≥ 480 (medium hard coal constraint
S ≤ 60
D ≤ 60
S, D ≥ 0
S, D are integers
using solver, the optimal solution is 40S + 30D = $15,500

Answers
Answer:
The interest payable to be reported on 31 December 2021 will be of $1000.
Option d is the correct asnwer.
Explanation:
Under the accrual basis or principle of accounting, we match the revenue with the expenses and record the transactions in the period to which they relate to rather than when the cash is paid or received. This means that the interest payment that is accrued for time period relating to this year should be recorded as an expense in the current period and as a liability as it will be paid in the next period. Thus, the interest on the note relating to 2 months from November 2021 to December 2021 will be recorded as follows,
Interest expense = 100000 * 0.06 * 2/12 = 1000
31 Dec 2021

On June 1, 2018, Marigold Company and Swifty Company merged to form Nash Inc. A total of 769,000 shares were issued to complete the merger. The new corporation reports on a calendar-year basis. On April 1, 2020, the company issued an additional 599,000 shares of stock for cash. All 1,368,000 shares were outstanding on December 31, 2020. Nash Inc. also issued $600,000 of 20-year, 8% convertible bonds at par on July 1, 2020. Each $1,000 bond converts to 36 shares of common at any interest date. None of the bonds have been converted to date. Nash Inc. is preparing its annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. The annual report will show earnings per share figures based upon a reported after-tax net income of $1,688,000. (The tax rate is 20%.)
Determine the following for 2020:
a. Basic earnings per share.
b. Diluted earnings per share.
c. The earnings figures to be used for calculating:
d. Basic earnings per share.
e. Diluted earnings per share.
Answers
Answer:
a. Basic earnings per share.
weighted average outstanding:
January 1 = 769,000 stocks
April 1 = 599,000 x 9/12 = 449,250 stocks
total weighted average outstanding stocks = 1,218,250 stocks
basic earnings per share = $1,688,000 / 1,218,250 = $1.3856 ≈ $1.39
b. Diluted earnings per share.
diluted shares = ($600,000 / $1,000) x 36 stocks x 1/2 = 10,800
diluted earnings per share = $1,707,200 / (1,218,250 + 10,800) = $1,707,200 / 1,229,050 = $1.389 ≈ $1.39
c. The earnings figures to be used for calculating:
Basic earnings per share
= net income = $1,688,000
Diluted earnings per share
= net income + interests saved - taxes on interests saved = $1,688,000 + $24,000 - $4,800 = $1,707,200

Jeter Corporation had net income of $232,000 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 8,000 units and 14,000 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $6 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing?a. $316,000b. $268,000c. $304,000d. $364,000e. $232,000
Answers
Answer:
d. $364,000
Explanation:
Net income under absorption costing is computed as;
= Net income under variable costing + [(Closing inventory - Opening inventory) × Fixed overhead per unit.
Given that;
Net income under variable costing = $232,000
Closing inventory = 14,000 units
Opening inventory = 8,000 units
Fixed overhead per unit = $6
Therefore,
Net income under absorption costing = $232,000 + [(14,000 + 8,000) × $6 ]
= $232,000 + $132,000
= $364,000
Net income under absorption costing is $364,000

A) 2.65 years
B) 2.78 years
C) 2.94 years
D) 2.88 years
E) Never
Answers
Answer:
The project will never pay the initial investment.
Explanation:
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment.
We need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= Cf/(1+i)^n
PV1= 3,700/1.075= 3,441.86
PV2= 4,900/1.075^2= 4,240.13
PV3= 2,500/1.075^3= 2,012.40
Now, the payback period:
Year 1= 3,441.86 - 10,600= -7,158.14
Year 2= 4,240.13 - 7,158.14= -2,918
Year 3= 2,010.4 - 2,918= -907.6
The project will never pay the initial investment.

Answers
Answer:
The options are missing, so I looked for similar questions. The option that I believe is correct is:
A good reputation for having few OOS (out-of-stock) problems when fulfilling large orders.Customer service is extremely important in today's world were competition is fierce and global. The less competition, the less value customer service has, but companies from around the world compete against each other. E.g. if you do not like how some salespeople treat you at a certain store, you can go online and buy the same products from a retailer 2,000 miles away. You must always remember that keeping old customers happy and loyal is always much easier and cheaper than getting new customers.
In a B2B environment, costs are important, and any difference in costs is much more important because the quantities sold are larger. But if the company that sells the lower priced products offers a terrible customer service and is not able to fulfill orders in time, then B2B clients will leave them because time is money. Th elonger the lead time, the higher the stockout probabilities and you require a larger safety stock which costs money.
You own a bond that pays $64 in interest annually. The face value is $1,000 and the current market price is $1,062.50. The bond matures in 30 years. What is the yield to maturity? (round your answer to two decimal places)

Answer:
the yield to maturity of this bond is 5.7%
Explanation:
given data
pays interest annually C = $64
face value F = $1,000
current market price P = $1,062.50
bond matures n = 30 years
solution
we get here yield to maturity that is express as
yield to maturity =
yield to maturity = [C+ (F-P) ÷ n] ÷ [(F+P) ÷ 2 ] .................1
put here value and we get
yield to maturity = [tex]\frac{64+(1000-1062.50)}{11}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{(1,000+1,062.50)}{2}[/tex]
yield to maturity = 0.057

Mounts Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product I05L had sales of $32,000 and variable expenses of $10,880. Product P42T had sales of $45,000 and variable expenses of $18,380. And the fixed expenses of the entire company were $46,070. The break-even point in sales dollars for the entire company is closest to
A. $75,330
B. $74,306
C. $30,930
D. $46,070
Answers
Answer:
B. $74,306
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate contribution margin for both.
Product 105L
Sales $32,000
Less variable expenses ($10,880)
Contribution margin $21,120
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales
= $21,120 ÷ $32,000
= 66%
Product P42T
Sales $45,000
Less variable expenses ($18,380)
Contribution margin $26,620
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales
= $26,620 ÷ $45,000
= 59.2%
Total sales for both products $77,000
Less Total variable expenses ($29,260)
Total contribution margin $47,740
Total contribution margin ratio $47,740 ÷ $77,000 = 62%
Fixed expenses for both companies = $46,070
Therefore,
Break even point in sales for both companies = Total fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $46,070 ÷ 62%
= $74,306.45

= (Fixed cost + Profit) / Revenue
= ($212520 +$51920) / $601,000
= $264440 / $601000
= 44%.
B. What monthly sales volume (in dollars) would be needed to break-even?
The break even point sales will be:
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin
= $212520 / 44%
= $212520 / 0.44
= $483000
C. What sales volume (in dollars) would be needed to earn $169,420?
This will be:
= (FC+DP) / Contribution margin
= (212520 + 169420)/0.44
= $381940/0.44
= $868045.45

B) Continue from the previous problem. What is the market price of this stock in one year? What is the capital gains yield over the first year?
Im looking for help on part B, I have already completed part A but it would be helpful to check my answer. ($26.57/share)
Answers
Answer:
a)
Div₁ = $3
Div₂ = $5
Div₃ = $7.50
Div₄ = $10
Div₅ = $2.50
the terminal value at year 4 = $2.50 / 15% = $16.67
P₀ = $3/1.15 + $5/1.15² + $7.50/1.15³ + $26.67/1.15⁴ = $2.61 + $3.78 + $4.93 + $15.25 = $26.57
dividend yield over the first year = $3 / $26.57 = 11.29%
b)
P₁ = $5/1.15 + $7.50/1.15² + $26.67/1.15³ = $4.35 + $5.67 + $17.47 = $27.49
capital gains yield = ($27.49 - $26.57) / $26.57 = 3.46%
Due to the efficiency of its supply chain as a result of technology and resourcefulness, Zara can deliver products to its stores quicker than their competitors with:_______.
A. reverse logistics.
B. less electronic data interchanges.
C. longer lead times.
D. shorter lead times.
E. more stockouts.
Answers
Answer:
D. shorter lead times.
Explanation:
Most of Zara's suppliers are actually working near Zara's headquarters in northern Spain. This increases production costs, but also increases supply chain efficiency. Daily sales reports are sent by all the stores around the world and headquarters then replenish the products that are selling in higher volumes. Lead times are extremely short, stockouts are very rare, and inventory levels are extremely low. It is basically a fashion industry version of Toyota's JIT.
Effective Annual Rate A loan is offered with monthly payments and a 8 percent APR. What's the loan's effective annual rate (EAR)?
Answers
Answer:
The loan's effective annual rate (EAR) is 8.30%.
Explanation:
Effective Annual Rate (EAR) can be described as an interest rate which been adjusted for compounding over particular period.
EAR therefore simply refers to the interest rate paid to an investor in a year after taking compounding into consideration.
The EAR can be computed using the following formula:
EAR = ((1 + (i / n))^n) - 1 .............................(1)
Where;
i = Annual percentage rate (APR) = 8%, or 0.08
n = Number of compounding periods or months in a year = 12
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
EAR = ((1 + (0.08 / 12))^12) - 1
EAR = ((1 + 0.00666666666666667)^12) - 1
EAR = 1.00666666666666667^12 - 1
EAR = 1.08299950680751 - 1
EAR = 0.08299950680751, or 8.299950680751%
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
EAR = 8.30%
Therefore, the loan's effective annual rate (EAR) is 8.30%.
Paul agrees to sell his clothing store to Michael and, as part of the sale, to execute a covenant not to compete promising not to open a similar store within one thousand miles for the next twenty years. A court reviewing the terms of the covenant would likely find that it is:________. a) unenforceable because all covenants not to compete are unreasonable. b) unreasonable as to both geographical scope and duration c) unreasonable with regard to duration d) enforceable
Answers
Answer:
d) enforceable
Explanation:
A court reviewing the terms of the covenant would likely find that it is enforceable. This is a standard clause found in many contracts and is also known as Non-compete clause. It is standard because a seller that has the experience of running a similar business can sell the business collect the profit from the sale and open create another similar business with little to no capital and quickly outperform their previous business due to the amount of experience that they have. In order to prevent this, many buyers require this clause to be added to the sales contract.
Suppose that the dollar-mark 6 months forward rate is $1.275/Mark. Suppose that the dollar-mark forward premium is 5%. Calculate the spot rate, $1=Mark_______ work to 4 decimal places.
Answers
Answer:
$1 = 0.8039 Mark
Explanation:
Forward Rate = Spot rate * (1 +rate*180/360)
1.275 = Spot rate * (1 + 0.05*180/360)
Spot rate = $1.2439/Mark
Now we are asked rate per dollar
$1 = (1/1.2439)Mark
$1 = 0.8039 Mark
