Assume Merck (MRK) just announced that its next dividend will be $2, paid one year from now (you just missed the prior annual dividend). You expect the dividend will grow (after the $2 dividend) by 3% per year forever. Your required return is 10%. What are you willing to pay for a share of Merck stock
Answer:
$28.57
Explanation:
Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)
D1 (Next dividend) = $2
Required return = 10% = 0.1
Growth rate = 3% = 0.03
Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)
Current price = $2 / 0.07
Current price = $28.57143
Current price = $28.57
Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.
what will you use for banca/boat to move
Answer:
a paddle
Explanation:
Using a "paddle" is very important in order to move/propel a boat. Paddling creates a force which goes against the water. This force is faced by an opposite force that is equal and that which allows the boat to move forward.
So as you push the water asides, the boat accelerates. Such technique is deemed efficient when using the boat. Not following the proper technique will not move the boat.
The marginal external cost associated with air pollution increases with the annual output of a polluting industry. At the current competitive equilibrium level of output per year, the marginal external cost is $10 per unit of output. To achieve efficiency,
a. a corrective tax of $10 per unit of output is required.
b. a corrective tax of more than $10 per unit of output is required.
c. a corrective tax of less than $10 per unit of output is required.
d. a corrective subsidy of $10 per unit of output is required.
e. a corrective subsidy of less than $10 per unit of output is required .
Answer:
The answer is "Option c".
Explanation:
The Marginal external cost, owing only to the production of an extra unit of goods or services, is the cost changes for persons besides the producer or buyer of goods or services. In this, question the "option c" is right in, this regard because it needs a correction tax of less than $10 per unit of production.

Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Given that:
Assuming a marginal tax rate of 21%
Salary Raise = $10000
Annual after-tax cost to Idaho :
Salary raise ( 1 - marginal tax rate)
$10000 ( 1 - 21%)
$10000( 1 - 0.21)
$10000 - $2100
= $7,900

30 pineapples
Explanation:
The computation of the marginal product of the 11th pineapple picker is shown below:
= 11 pineapple - 10 pineapple
= 270 pineapples - 240 pineapples
= 30 pineapples
Hence, the marginal product of the 11th pineapple picker is 30 pineapples

Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,000 units. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers and you need to decide which to use. The following data have been collected:
Requirements (annual forecast) 12,000 units
Weight per engine 22 pounds
Order processing cost $125 per order
Inventory carry cost 20 percent of the average value of inventory per year
Assume that half of lot size is in inventory on average (1,000/2 = 500 units).
Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations:
ORDER QUANTITY SUPPLIER 1 UNIT PRICE SUPPLIER 2 UNIT PRICE
1 to 1,499 units/order $510.00 $505.00
1,500 to 2,999 units/order 500.00 505.00
3,000 + units/order 490.00 488.00
Tooling costs $22,000 $20,000

f. Assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the a location base in both production departments. What is the departmental predetermined overhead rate in the Assembly department? (Round your answer to
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a) To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (77,200 + 3,000 + 14,000) / 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.42 per machine hour
b) To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Job E:
Allocated MOH= 5,000*9.42
Allocated MOH= $23,550
c) Total cost= 21,600 + 22,600 + 47,100
Total cost= $91,300
d) Selling price= 91,300*1.2= $109,560
e) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (24,000/3,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9 per machine hour
f) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (53,200/7,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.6 per machine hour

Champion manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale in the United States. Demand for jackets during the season is normally distributed, with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 10,000. Each jacket sells for $60 and costs $30 to produce. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25 at the year-end clearance sale. Holding jackets until the year-end sale adds another $5 to their cost. A recent recruit has suggested shipping leftover jackets to South America for sale in the winter there rather than running a clearance. Each jacket will fetch a price of $35 in South America, and all jackets sent there are likely to sell. Shipping costs add additional $5 to the cost of any jacket sold in South America, along with the $5 for holding jackets till the end of the season.
Required:
a. Would you recommend the South American option? Support your decision with calculations.
b. How will the South American option affect production and profitability at Champion?
c. On average, how many jackets will Champion ship to South America each season? (Note: you have already calculated this value in order to get the expected profit for the South American option.

Suppose that France and Austria both produce rye and wine. France's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 bushels of rye while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 bushels of rye. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that __________ has a comparative advantage in the production of wine and __________has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
Suppose that France and Austria consider trading wine and rye with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than __________of rye for each bottle of wine it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than __________of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to France.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Austria and France to gain from trade?
a. 7 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
b. 4 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
c. 1 bushel of rye per bottle of wine
d. 11 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
Answer:
France has comparative advantage in production of wine
Austria has comparative advantage in production of rye.
4 bushels of rye for each bottle of wine
1 bottle of wine for each bushel.
b. 4 bushel of rye per bottle of wine.
Explanation:
France has comparative advantage in producing wine as it has opportunity cost of 4 bushels per bottle of wine. Austria has comparative advantage in producing bushels as it has opportunity cost of 10 bushels per bottle of wine. The both countries can gain advantage if they agree for 4 bushels per wine.
Assume you work for a valuation firm, and you have been given the assignment of valuing a local law firm comprising three partners and four associates. One partner plans to retire spoon, and the partners are trying to agree on the value of a one-third interest in the firm in order to buy out the departing partner's interest. The firm's revenue per partner is two times higher than that of the average firm of a similar size, but you soon discover that 80% of firm revenue is from one client.
Required:
Please raise one question about this scenario that you would want to address.
Answer:
Valuation of a law firm
One question to raise:
Which of the partners brought in this one powerful client? I hope it is not the retiring partner.
Explanation:
If the retiring partner had brought in the client and had been in charge of the client's business, the firm's valuation would be drastically influenced by these facts. It is likely that the client might retire the service as the retiring partner retires. This will jeopardize the revenue outlook of the firm, its future prospects, and its current value. However, if the retiring partner is not linked to this powerful client, then it may be that the firm's value will not be at risk. Again, over-dependence on one client for firm's revenue is does not augur well for the firm. Moreover, the margin of over-dependence is too high for comfort. There is serious need for a review of the relationship, not in terms of termination, but in terms of seeking for more big-ticket clients to relatively reduce the over-dependence.

Suppose you are a manager for a multinational company that produces a variety of beauty products. Heartland Company was founded in 1942 and began making shampoo and soap products. Heartland, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, now sells hair care, soap, and makeup products in 22 countries across the globe. Heartland holds the majority market share in the U.S. and is largely regarded as a trend-leader in hair and beauty products. As the Global Brand Vice President, you have been tasked with taking the brand to Brazil, considered to be a large cosmetics market in the next few years. The Brazilian cosmetics and hair care market is largely dominated by Belleza who currently holds a 60% market share. Belleza is marketed toward young, fashion-forward women. The second largest company, Botánico, holds just a 20% share of the market. Your research suggests that while Botánico has efficient manufacturing and distribution, young consumers see them as being a brand for their mothers and grandmothers.
Given the information above, what is the best market entry strategy for this company?
a. Partnership
b. Exporting
c. Outsourcing
Answer:
a. Partnership
Explanation:
Brazil is a market that can be tricky if exporting is used. Botanico is struggling at 2nd position with only 20% share but are efficient in manufacturing and distribution which can be utilized by Heartland. Heartland is known as trend setter which is something Botanica lacks currently to woo the young women and girls into buying their products A partnership would simply result that competitive edges of both the parties can be employed together to win over the market.

Bonita Beauty Corporation manufactures cosmetic products that are sold through a network of sales agents. The agents are paid a commission of 18% of sales. The income statement for the year ending December 31, 2014, is as follows.
BONITA BEAUTY CORPORATION
Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2014
Sales $75,000,000
Cost of goods sold
Variable $31,500,000
Fixed 8,610,000 40,110,000
Gross margin $34,890,000
Selling and marketing expenses
Commissions $13,500,000
Fixed costs 10,260,000 23,760,000
Operating income $11,130,000
The company is considering hiring its own sales staff to replace the network of agents. It will pay its salespeople a commission of 8% and incur additional fixed costs of $7,500,000.
Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for the requirements of similar questions:
A. Calculate the company’s break-even point in sales dollars for the year 2014 if it hires its own sales force to replace the network of agents.
B. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of $75,000,000 if (1) Bonita Beauty uses sales agents, and (2) Bonita Beauty employs its own sales staff.
a) total sales = $75,000,000
variable costs:
COGS $31,500,000
commissions $6,000,000
total variable costs = $37,500,000
contribution margin ratio = $37,500,000 / $75,000,000 = 0.5
total fixed costs = $8,610,000 + $10,260,000 + $7,500,000 = $26,370,000
break even point in $ = $26,370,000 / 0.5 = $52,740,000
b) one of the formulas that we can use to calculate the degree of operating leverage is:
operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs
1) total costs using sales agents = $63,870,000
total fixed costs = $8,610,000 + $10,260,000 = $18,870,000
degree of operating leverage = $18,870,000 / $63,870,000 = 29.54%
2) total costs employing its own sales staff = $6,000,000 + $31,500,000 + $26,370,000 = $63,870,000
total fixed costs = $26,370,000
degree of operating leverage = $26,370,000 / $63,870,000 = 41.29%

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Total current liabilities $15,575 $16,539
(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
(b) Use the balance sheet information on Costco's Deferred Membership Fees liability account and its income statement revenues related to Membership Fees earned during 2016 to compute the cash that Costco received during 2016 for membership fees.
Total cash received (in $ millions) = $Answer

Pitbull Construction Corporation applies IFRS, has equipment that it can reliably measure fair value of, and has chosen to apply the revaluation model to valuing this equipment on its accounting records. The carrying value of this equipment on Pitbull's books at the end of last year, December 31, 20X1, was $200,000. At the end of this year, December 31, 20X2, due to decreased demand for the equipment, especially when resold as used, the fair value is $150,000. For the year 20X2, in relation to this equipment for which Pitbull has chosen to apply the revaluation method, Pitbull must:_________
Answer and Explanation:
If there is decrease in fair value of an asset as is seen in the example with Pitbull corporation, we decrease asset revaluation reserve in the balance sheet by the value reduced $50000 here to recognise new carrying value of the asset and then debit the expenses of revaluation to the income statement or profit and loss account. If there was an increase in fair value, revaluation would add to retained earnings in balance sheet and income in income statement
A worker has two jobs, and they can choose to work any number of hours in a day on each job (up to the upper limit, if any), but can only work on one job at a time. The first job pays $10 per hour and has an upper limit of 6 hours per day. The second job pays $6 per hour and has no upper limit (for example, fixed-contract online freelance work). The worker will always choose the first job if they can. Consider their budget constraint with the amount of daily leisure time on the horizontal axis (from 0 to 24 hours) and their consumption expenditure on the vertical axis (which equals their daily income). Based on this information, which of the following is correct?
a. The workers budget constraint is kinked at 6 hours of free time.
b. The worker will never choose to consume exactly 18 hours of free time.
c. The slope of the budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large.
d. For the choice of 8 hours of free time, the maximum expenditure for the day is 96
Answer:
The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large ( C )
Explanation:
The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large
This is right, because whenever the hours of free time is small, This means that he will be under the second job that pays $6 per hour, with no upper limit on work hours, hence he will work more & enjoy less free time.
Hence the slope of BC = 6
