Under the Clayton Act, a divestiture order is: a. a decision by a court requiring a defendant to sell an enterprise. b. an order by a court requiring an enterprise to dispose of its inventory. c. notification from the Department of Justice that a merger did not occur. d. notification from the Department of Justice that a merger is about to occur.
Answer:
a. a decision by a court requiring a defendant to sell an enterprise.
Explanation:
The Clayton Act was enacted in 1914 and was passed in order to complement the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. It focused on preventing monopolistic actions when they were just starting.
A divestiture means that a company is forced to sell the stock it owns from a third party corporation, e.g. if Apple bought a significant amount of Samsung's stocks, and they were forced to sell them.
If a firm is unlevered and has a cost of equity capital 9%, what would the cost of equity be if the firms became levered at a debt-equity ratio of 1.8? The expected cost of debt is 7%. (Assume no taxes
Answer:
12.6
Explanation:
The cost of equity capital is 9%
Debt equity ratio is 1.8
The expected cost of debt is 7%
Therefore the cost of equity can be calculated as follows
= 9 + 1.8(9-7)
=9 + 1.8(2)
=9 + 3.6
= 12.6
Hence the cost of equity is 12.6
The portion of women in the workforce has nearly doubled since 1950. As a result, fewer mothers are providing services inside the home. How has this trend affected GDP
Answer:
Current GDP (both total & contributed by women) has increased. However GDP in 1950 was under estimated.
Explanation:
GDP is the total value of goods & services produced by an economy, during a given period of time. It doesn't include value of qualitative family care services, done by women.
So GDP in 1950, not including value of women's family care work would have been an under estimation of total GDP & women's contribution to GDP also.
After 1950, when women shift from house work not accounted in GDP to outside work accounted in GDP, GDP & women's contribution to GDP both rise.
Red and White Company reported the following monthly data: Units produced 3,300 units Sales price $ 38 per unit Direct materials $ 5 per unit Direct labor $ 6 per unit Variable overhead $ 7 per unit Fixed overhead $ 8,910 in total What is Red and White's net income under variable costing if 1,110 units are sold and operating expenses are $15,000
Answer:
Net operating income= -$1,710
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 5 + 6 + 7= $18
Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 1,110*38= 42,180
Total variable cost= 1,110*18= (19,980)
Total contribution margin= 22,200
Total fixed overhead cost= (8,910)
Operating expenses= (15,000)
Net operating income= -$1,710
A company has already incurred $5,000 of costs in producing 6,000 units of Product XY. Product XY can be sold as is for $15 per unit. Instead, the company could incur further processing costs of $8 per unit and sell the resulting product for $21 per unit. Should the company sell Product XY as is or process it further? (Any loss amount should be indicated with minus sign.)
Answer:
Company like to sell product XY but not process it further.
Explanation:
Given:
Original cost = $5,000
No. of units = 6,000
Sales price per unit = $15
Processed cost = $8 per unit
New sales price = $21 per unit
Computation:
Old net profit = (6,000)(15) - 5000
Old net profit = $85,000
New net profit = (6,000)(21-8)
New net profit = $78,000
Profit from process is less than profit from sell
Company like to sell product XY but not process it further.
Suppose we have the yield and maturity information on treasury securities from a current yield curve. A 1-year T-bond currently yields 4.50% and a 3-year T-bond yields 9.80%. Assuming the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the market's forecast for interest rates on a 2-year treasury security, 1 year from now
Answer:
12.55%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
(1 + 3 Year Yield)^3 = (1 + 1 Year Yield) × (1 + 2 Year Yield 1 year from now)^2
(1 + 9.80%)^3 = (1 + 4.50%) × (1 + 2 Year Yield 1 year from now)^2
1.323753 = 1.0450 × (1 + 2 Year Yield 1 year from now)^2
1.266749 = (1 + 2 Year Yield 1 year from now)^2
1.1225 = 1 + 2 Year Yield 1 year from now
So,
2 Year Yield 1 year from now = 0.1255
= 12.55%

A bank makes a 30 year Fully Amortizing FRM for $800,000 at an annual interest rate of 4% compounded monthly, with monthly payments. What is the absolute difference between the balance and the market value of the loan after 36 monthly payments if the interest rate rises to 5%
Answer:
$77,649.16
Explanation:
Loan taken = $800,000
Duration of loan = 30 yrs
Interest rate = 4%
Monthly payment = PMT(RATE, NPER, PV, FV)
Rate(Monthly interest rate) = 0.33%
Nper= 360
PV=-800,000
FV = 0
Monthly payment = PMT(0.3, 03%, 360, -800,000)
Monthly payment = $3,819.32
Calculation of loan in 36 years
Monthly payment = 3,819.32
Rate = 0.33%
Years spent - 3
Yrs remaining = 27 yrs
No of month remaining = 324
Loan balance after 36 payment = Month payment (P/A, I, N)
Loan balance after 36 payment = 3,819.32 * Pv(0.33%, 324, -1,0)
Loan balance after 36 payment = $755,989.80
Market value of loan after 36 payment
Market value of loan after 36 payment = Monthly payment*(P/A, I,N)
= $3,819.32 * (P/A, 5%/12, 324)
= $678,340.64
Hence, Market value of loan after 36 payment is $678,340.64
Difference between loan balance and market value of loan = Loan balance after 36 payment - Market value of loan = $755,989.80 - $678,340.64 = $77,649.16

Answer:
The company is a company that would sell products made of quinua, since this is one of the most nutritionally-rich foods in the world.
Explanation:
Quinua is a cereal, originally cultivated in the South American Andes by the Incas and other Native American tribes of the area. Quinua is characterized by having more protein, and more micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) than other cereals like wheat and corn.
The needs that the product would appeal to are: physiological needs, because quinua is a type of food, and humans need food to stay alive, but also safety needs, because it is a type of food that is particularly healthy, and that people consume not only to satisfy their hunger, but also, to stay healthy or fit.
The company that I would be interested in starting is a clothing company for children.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs simply mean that people are motivated based on love, esteem, physiological, safety, and self-actualization.

Suppose the external benefit is $10 per extinguisher. True or False: The government could achieve the efficient outcome by giving out fire extinguishers for free using tax revenue. True
Answer:
false
Explanation:
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
The efficient outcome can be achieved by subsiding the extinguisher for $10.

A bond with a face value of $10,000 pays interest of 4% per year. This bond will be redeemed at its face value at the end of 10 years. How much should be paid now for this bond when the first interest payment is payable one year from now and a 5% yield is desired? (
Answer:
$9,228.8
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Given that
Bond face value = $10,000
Period = 10 years
Coupon rate or interest rate = 4%
Market rate or yield to maturity = 5%
Based on the above information
The Present value of bond is
= Present value of ordinary annuity + Present value of face value of the bond
Also the interest paid is
= 4% of bond face value
= $400
And, the factor of ordinary maturity table at 5% it is 7.722
So,
Present value of Annuity is
= $400 × 7.722
= $3,088.8
And,
Present value of face value of the bond is
= Face value × PV factor
= $10,000 × 0.614 = $6140
So, the present value of bond is
= $3,088.8 + $6,140
= $9,228.8

If bonds are initially sold at a discount and the straight-line method of amortization is used, interest expense in the earlier years will:________
a. exceed what it would have been had the effective-interest method of amortization been used.
b. be less than what it would have been had the effective-interest method of amortization been used.
c. be the same as it would have been had the effective-interest method of amortization been used.
d. be less than the stated (nominal) rate of interest.
Answer: a. exceed what it would have been had the effective-interest method of amortization been used.
Explanation:
If the effective - interest method of amortization is used, the interest expense in earlier years will be lower because the amortised amount used in the calculation of bond interest will be lower.
In contrast, straight-line apportions the amortised amount evenly across all the years so in earlier years the interest will be higher than using the effective-interest method.
Sunk costs are: a. Larger than variable costs. b. Equivalent to fixed costs. c. Irrelevant for decision-making purposes because, by definition, decisions do not influence these costs. d. Influenced by economies of scale.
Answer:
c. Irrelevant for decision-making purposes because, by definition, decisions do not influence these costs.
Explanation:
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.
Hence, sunk costs are irrelevant for decision-making purposes because, by definition, decisions do not influence these costs.
