Answer:
Cost price elasticity of frizzles is 1.1.
Cost price elasticity of cannies is -0.35.
Hence cannies are complementing good for guppy gummies, the firm should sell the cannies with the guppy gummies.
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of frizzles:-
Cost price elasticity = Percentage change in the quantity of frizzles /
Percentage change in the price of guppy gummies.
[tex]= \frac{-22}{-20} \\\\=1.1[/tex]
Cost price elasticity of frizzles is 1.1. Since the cost price elasticity of demand for frizzles is positive, it is a substitute good for guppy gummies.
Cross price elasticity of cannies:-
Cost price elasticity = Percentage change in the quantity of cannies /
Percentage change in the price of guppy gummies.
[tex]= \frac{7}{-20} \\\\=-0.35[/tex]
Cost price elasticity of cannies is -0.35. Since the cost price elasticity of demand for frizzles is negative, it is a complement good for guppy gummies.
Hence cannies are complementing good for guppy gummies, the firm should sell the cannies with the guppy gummies.
Ana is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. While Ana usually practices swimming for two hours per day, she decides to continue for an additional hour because the pool is less crowded than usual today allowing her practice time to be more productive. Which basic principle of individual choice does Valerie's plan illustrate that her husband's advice does not?
a. Resources are scarce.
b. All decisions involve opportunity costs.
c. Decisions are made at the margin.
d. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.
Answer:
c. Decisions are made at the margin.
Explanation:
It is better to make a trade-off when someone compares the costs with that of the benefits of doing something. The [tex]\text{decisions about whether one must do a bit more or a bit less of an activity}[/tex] are called marginal decisions. Making the [tex]\text{trade-offs at the margin}[/tex] means comparing its costs as well as its benefits of an activity by doing it a little bit more versus doing a little bit less.
In the context, Ana is making decision at the margin when she decides to practice one hour extra and improve her swimming performance as the event of triathlon is approaching.
Thus, option (d) is correct.
Assume that Guardian Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account balances: Purchases $500,000; Purchase Returns and Allowances $14,000; Purchase Discounts $9,000; and Freight-in $15,000. Determine net purchases and cost of goods purchased.
Answer:
Net purchases:
= Purchases - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchase Discount
= 500,000 - 14,000 - 9,000
= $477,000
Cost of goods sold:
= Net purchase + Freight-in
= 477,000 + 15,000
= $492,000
Rolling Coast Inc. issued BBB bonds two years ago. These bonds provided a yield to maturity (YTM) of 11.5 percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.7 percent at the time. The current risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the risk-free long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what interest rate should Rolling Coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer: 9.2%
Explanation:
The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:
= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%
Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:
= Previous risk premium / 2
= 2.8% / 2
= 1.4%
Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:
= 7.8% + 1.4%
= 9.2%

Tutor, Inc. (TI) provides instructional services to its customers. TI charges $330 per student. The Company expects to serve 1,150 students during the coming year. All of the Company's expenses are fixed. Total annual fixed cost are projected to be $125,000. If the estimated number of students increase by 20%, net income will increase by: (Round your final answer to the nearest percent.)
Answer:
Net income will increase by 30%.
Explanation:
Projected total fixed cost = $125,000
Fee per student = $330
Percentage increase in the old number of students = 20%
Old number of students = 1,150
New number of students = Old number of students * (100% + Percentage increase in the old number of students) = 1,150 * (100% + 20%) = 1,380
Old revenue = Fee per student * Old number of students = $330 * 1,150 = $379,500
New revenue = Fee per student * New number of students = $330 * 1,380 = $455,400
Old net income = Old revenue - Projected total fixed cost = $379,500 - $125,000 = $254,500
New net income = New revenue - Projected total fixed cost = $455,400 - $125,000 = $330,400
Therefore, we have:
Percentage increase in net income = ((New net income – Old net income) / Old net income) * 100 = (($330,400 - $254,500) / $254,500) * 100 = 30%
Therefore, net income will increase by 30%.

A. 7000.
B. 9200.
C. 9000.
D. 13000.
E. 8800.
Answer:
The correct option is B. 9200.
Explanation:
This can simply be answered as follows:
[tex]F_{6} =(D_{5}*W_{5})+(D_{4}*W_{4})+(D_{3}*W_{3})[/tex] .................. (1)
Where:
[tex]F_{6}[/tex] = Weighted moving average forecast (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) for Week 6 = ?
[tex]D_{5}[/tex] = Week 5 demand = 11,000
[tex]D_{4}[/tex] = Week 4 demand = 9,000
[tex]D_{3}[/tex] = Week 3 demand = 7,000
The (0.4, 0.3, 0.3) implies that:
[tex]W_{5}[/tex] = Weight of Week 5 demand = 0.4
[tex]W_{4}[/tex] = Weight of Week 4 demand = 0.3
[tex]W_{3}[/tex] = Weight of Week 3 demand = 0.3
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
[tex]F_{6}[/tex] = (11,000 * 0.40) + (9,000 * 0.30) + (7,000 * 0.30) = 9,200
Therefore, the correct option is B. 9200.
The weighted moving average forecast for week 6 is 9,200.
The calculation for determining the weighted moving average forecast for week 6 is= (Week 5 × 0.4) + (Week 4 × 0.3) + (Week 3 × 0.3)
= (11000 × 0.4) + (9000 × 0.3) + (7000 × 0.3)
= 9200
Therefore we can conclude that the weighted moving average forecast for week 6 is 9,200.

Bunkhouse Electronics is a recently incorporated firm that makes electronic entertainment systems. Its earnings and dividends have been growing at a rate of 36.0%, and the current dividend yield is 8.00%. Its beta is 1.32, the market risk premium is 14.00%, and the risk-free rate is 2.80%.
Required:
a. Use the CAPM to estimate the firm’s cost of equity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
b. Now use the constant growth model to estimate the cost of equity. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a whole percent.)
c. Which of the two estimates is more reasonable?
Answer:
a. Calculation of the firm's cost of equity using CAPM
Required rate of return (Cost of equity) = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 2.80% + 1.32*14%
Cost of equity = 2.80% + 18.38%
Cost of equity = 21.28%
b) Calculation of the cost of equity using constant growth model:
Cost of equity = Dividend yield + Growth rate(Capital gain yield)
Cost of equity = 8.00% + 36.00%
Cost of equity = 44.00%
When writing goals, it is helpful to remember the acronym SMART. Different people associate different words with each of the letters in the SMART acronym, but for the purposes of this problem, SMART means that effective goals are:
1. Specific. A good goal defines exactly what you expect to accomplish. When your goals are specific, the behaviors required to accomplish them are clear. Many people say that they want to recycle to save the environment, but a better goal would be "Place every used bottle or can in a recycling container within five minutes of finishing its contents."
2. Measurable. You can measure the outcomes of a good goal. When you measure how much of a goal you have attained, you get feedback on your work. For example, compare the goal "I want to be skinny" with "I want to lose 10 pounds by the end of the month." How can you measure skinny? But by measuring the pounds you have lost so far, you know exactly how close you are to meeting your goal.
3. Attainable. Good goals are hard to reach, but not impossible. If a goal is too easy, you will not have to work hard to attain it, and your overall performance will not improve. If a goal is too hard, you will be discouraged from attempting to reach it. One way of making sure that goals are attainable is to break larger, difficult goals into smaller, more easily accomplished subgoals.
4. Result-oriented. A good goal contains only one outcome or accomplishment. If you combine two or more outcomes in one goal, it will be difficult to decide where to focus your attention. For example, "To increase produce sales by 3% and to achieve a 5% market share" is a less effective goal than "To increase produce sales by 3%."
5. Time-bound. Good goals specify precisely when you will meet them. Doing so provides you with a deadline for your actions. For example, it is easy to say "I want to be a millionaire." but you are more likely to accomplish that goal if you say "I will have a million dollars in a bank account by January 1, 2020."
Using your knowledge of SMART goals, select the best goal. After the new product is released, I will hire some new salespeople.
a. I will hire three new salespeople prior to our next product release.
b. I will hire three new salespeople soon.
c. I will hire some salespeople to help with the new product release.

a. I will hire three new salespeople prior to our next product release.
Explanation:
Smart goals are specific, measurable, attainable, result oriented and time bound. When a new product is released, new sales person will help boost sales of the product. The sales person will inform customers about the new product features and specifications. The customers will be able to choose the product based on their preference.

Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 = Copyright cost - Amortization expenses for 2020 = $31,000 - $3,100 = $27,900
Copyright fair value = $21,100
Impairment loss = Book value of copyright on January 2, 2022 - Copyright fair value = $27,900 - $21,100 = $6,800
Therefore, the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is $6,800.

A firm that purchases electricity from the local utility for $300,000 per year is considering installing a steam generator at a cost of $260,000. The cost of operating this generator would be $210,000 per year, and the generator will last for five years. If the firm buys the generator, it does not need to purchase any electricity from the local utility. The cost of capital is 11%. For the local utility option, consider five years of electricity purchases. For the generator option, assume immediate installation, with purchase and operating costs in the current year and operating costs continuing for the next four years. Assume payments under both options at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now,..., four years from now). What is the net present value of the more attractive choice?
Answer:
The net present value of the more attractive choice is:
= $1,108,800 (paying for local utility)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Project period = 5 years
Cost of capital = 11%
Local Utility Steam Generator
Operating cost per year $300,000 $210,000
Cost of steam generator $260,000
PV (annuity factor
at 11% for 5 years) 3.696
PV (annuity factor
at 11% for 4 years) 3.102
Present value $1,108,800 ($300,000 * 3.696)
Present value of steam generator/
operating cost for the 1st year $470,000
Present value of operating cost for 4 years 651,420 ($210,000 * 3.102)
Net present value $1,108,800 $1,121,420
Paying for the local utility is more attractive with a net present value savings of $12,620 ($1,121,420 - $1,108,800)
Equipment acquired on January 8 at a cost of $168,000 has an estimated useful life of 18 years,
has an estimated residual value of $15,000, and is depreciated by the straight-line method.
A. What was the book value of the equipment at December 31 the end of the fourth year?
B. Assuming that the equipment was sold on April 1 of the fifth year for $125,000, journalize
the entries to record (1) depreciation for the three months until the sale date, and (2) the
sale of the equipment.
Answer:
A. $134,000
B1. Dr Depreciation expense $2,125
Cr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $2,125
B2. Dr Cash $125,000
Dr Loss on sale of equipment $6,875
Dr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $36,125
Cr Equipment $168,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine What was the book value of the equipment at December 31 the end of the fourth year
First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation using this formula
Annual depreciation = (Cost of machinery-Residual value)/ useful life
Let plug in the formula
Annual depreciation= (168,000-15,000)/18
Annual depreciation= $8,500
Second step is to calculate the Accumulated depreciation for 4 years using this formula
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years = Annual depreciation x 4
Let plug in the formula
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years= 8,500 x 4
Accumulated depreciation for 4 years= $34,000
Now let determine the Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year
Using this formula
Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year 4 = Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation for 4 years
Let plug in the formula
Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year = 168,000-34,000
Book value of equipment at December 31 at the end of year = $134,000
Therefore the book value of the equipment at December 31 the end of the fourth year is $134,000
B1. Preparation of the journal entries to record (1) depreciation for the three months until the sale date
Year 5, April 1
Dr Depreciation expense $2,125
Cr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $2,125
( To record depreciation expense)
Calculation for Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 using this formula
Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 = Annual depreciation x 3/12
Let plug in the formula
Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 == 8,500 x 3/12
Depreciation for 3 months of year 5 = $2,125
B2.Preparation of the journal entries to record (2) the sale of the equipment.
Year 5, April 1
Dr Cash $125,000
Dr Loss on sale of equipment $6,875
Dr Accumulated depreciation- equipment $36,125
Cr Equipment $168,000
( To record sale of the equipment)
Calculation for Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5 using this formula
Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5 = Accumulated depreciation for 4 years + Depreciation for 3 months of year 5
Let plug in the formula
Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5= 34,000+2,125
Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5= $36,125
Calculation for Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 using this formula
Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 = Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation at April 1, year 5
Let plug in the formula
Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 = $168,000-$36,125
Book value of equipment at April 1, year 5 = $131,875
Calculation for Loss on sale of equipment using this formula
Loss on sale of equipment = Book value - Sale of equipment
Let plug in the formula
Loss on sale of equipment=$ 131,875-$125,000
Loss on sale of equipment= $6,875

If an asset costs $16,000, has an expected useful life of 8 years, is expected to have a $2,000 salvage value and generates net annual cash inflows of $2,000 a year, the cash payback period is:________
Answer:
It will take 7.5 years to cover the initial investment. If the company take into account the tax shield of the depreciation expense, the payback period will be lower.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $16,000
Useful life= 8 years
Salvage value= $2,000
Cash inflows= $2,000
The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment.
Year 1= 2,000 - 16,000= -14,000
Year 2= 2,000 - 14,000= -12,000
Year 3= 2,000 - 12,000= -10,000
Year 4= 2,000 - 10,000= -8,000
Year 5= 2,000 - 8,000= -6,000
Year 6= 2,000 - 8,000= -4,000
Year 7= 2,000 - 4,000= -2,000
Year 8= 4,000 - 2,000= 2,000 (Assuming the asset is sold for its salvage value)
To be more accurate:
(2,000/4,000)= 0.5
It will take 7.5 years to cover the initial investment. If the company take into account the tax shield of the depreciation expense, the payback period will be lower.
