Answer:
For Dunkin Donuts, three forces are low, and two forces are high.
The threat of substitutes and the rivalry among existing players are high, mainly because the products that Dunkin sells are easy to substitute, and there is stiff competition in the market.
The bargaining power of consumers, of suppliers, and the threat of new entrants are low. Better relationships with customers and suppliers are recommended for this.
For starbucks, the threat of subsitutes is high because coffee can be replaced for chocolate or tea.
The bargaining power of suppliers is low because there are many coffee producers in the world.
The bargaining power of customers is also low, although the do have some price sensitivity.
The threat of new entrants is low because there are economies of scale, brand issues, and supplying issues to be taken into account.
And the competition among existing players is high.
Explanation:
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.

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
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
Compute two cash flow ratios. (Round ratios to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.62.) Current cash debt coverage ratio 0.67 :1 Cash debt coverage ratio 0.38 :1
Answer:
0.66 : 10.25 : 1Explanation:
1. Current Cash Debt Coverage ratio;
[tex]= \frac{Net Cash from operating activities}{\frac{Opeing current liabilities + Closing current liabilities}{2} } \\[/tex]
Net Cash from operating activities = Net Income + Depreciation - Gain on sale of investments - Increase in Accounts receivable
= 33,840 + 11,331 - 3,731 - (43,440 - 23,040)
= $21,040
Current Cash debt coverage
[tex]= \frac{21,040}{\frac{31,840 + 31,840}{2} } \\[/tex]
= 0.66 : 1
2. Cash Debt Coverage ratio;
[tex]= \frac{Net Cash from operating activities}{\frac{Opeing total liabilities + Closing total liabilities}{2} } \\[/tex]
Opening liabilities = 31,840 + 42,840 = $74,680
Closing Liabilities = Accounts payable + Net notes + Bond
= 31,840 + (42,840 - 16,331) + 36,840
= $95,189
Cash debt coverage
[tex]= \frac{21,040}{\frac{ 74,680 + 95,189}{2} } \\[/tex]

Answer:
FV= $2,554.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Rodney invests $2,400 today, compounded monthly, with an annual interest rate of 6.25%.
First, we need to calculate the monthly interest rate:
i= 0.0625/12= 0.0052
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the future value:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 2,400*(1.0052^12)
FV= $2,554.12

Assume ABC Corp. pays the dividend of $4.55 this year. For the next 30 years, the firm's dividend will grow by 5.4%, then will grow by 4.7% each year afterwards. The required rate of return for the firm's industry is 10.8%. What is the present value of the firm's stock under the Dividend Discount Model?
Answer:
$86.42
Explanation:
Div₀ = $4.55
using an excel spreadsheet I determined the next 29 dividends:
Div₁ = $4.80
Div₂ = $5.05
Div₃ = $5.33
Div₄ = $5.62
Div₅ = $5.92
Div₆ = $6.24
Div₇ = $6.57
Div₈ = $6.93
Div₉ = $7.30
Div₁₀ = $7.70
Div₁₁ = $8.11
Div₁₂ = $8.55
Div₁₃ = $9.01
Div₁₄ = $9.50
Div₁₅ = $10.01
Div₁₆ = $10.56
Div₁₇ = $11.13
Div₁₈ = $11.73
Div₁₉ = $12.36
Div₂₀ = $13.03
Div₂₁ = $13.73
Div₂₂ = $14.47
Div₂₃ = $15.25
Div₂₄ = $16.08
Div₂₅ = $16.94
Div₂₆ = $17.86
Div₂₇ = $18.82
Div₂₈ = $19.84
Div₂₉ = $20.91
Div₃₀ = $4.55 x (1 + 5.4%)³⁰ = $22.0409
Div₃₁ = $22.0409 x 1.047 = $23.08
first we must determine the terminal value at year 30 = $23.08 / (10.8% - 4.7%) = $378.36
again I used an excel spreadsheet to discount the 30 future dividends using a 10.8% discount rate = $68.97 + $378.36/1.108³⁰ = $86.42

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.

TIP: Choose a type of company that you would be interested in working for or starting up yourself. a. Describe the product the company sells. (1-3 sentences. 2.0 points) b. Which needs in Maslow's hierarchy does this product appeal to
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.
Based on the information given, the company that I would be interested in starting is a clothing company for children. This will help me in actualizing my dream of having a product for children.
Therefore, it satisfies the self-actualization needs.

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.
oriole corporation has two products in its ending inventory, each accounted for at the lower of cost or market. a profit margin of 30% on selling price is considered normal for each product. specific data with respect to each product follows:In pricing its ending inventory using the lower-of-cost-or-market, what unit values, rounded to the nearest dollar, should Oriole use for products
Answer:
Product 1 = $20Product 2 = $32.50Explanation:
Using the lower-of-cost-or market means that the market value or the historical cost is used to record the inventory depending on which is lower.
Product 1Market Value = Net realizable value - Profit margin
= (Estimated selling price - Estimated cost to dispose) - ( Estimated selling price * Profit margin)
= (40 - 5) - (40 * 30%)
= 35 - 12
= $23
Historical cost = $20
Lower value is Historical cost so $20 would be used by Oriole
Product 2= (Estimated selling price - Estimated cost to dispose) - ( Estimated selling price * Profit margin)
= (65 - 13) - (65 * 30%)
= 52 - 19.5
= $32.50
Historical Cost = $35
Lower cost is Market value so ending inventory is $32.50
A time standard was set as 0.20 hour per unit based on the 100th unit produced. Assume the task has a 70 percent learning curve. Refer to Exhibit 6.4. What would be the expected time of the 200th, 400th, and 800th units
Answer:
200th unit = 0.70028hrs
400th unit = 0.4902hr
800th unit = 0.343hr
Explanation:
Learning rate = 70% = 0.7 (r)
From the learning curve equation
T(n)= T₁(n)^b
b= ln(r)/ln(2)= ln(0.7)/ln(2)= -0.5146
T(100)= T₁(100)^-0.5146
But T(100)=1
1= T₁×(0.0935)
T₁= 1/(0.0935)
T₁= 10.7
For 200th
T(200)= 10.7(200)^-0.5146= 0.70028hr
For 400th
T(400)= 10.7(400)^-0.5146= 0.4902hrs
800th units
T(800)= 10.7(800)^-0.5146= 0.343hrs
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

The historical returns for the past three years for Stock B and the stock market portfolio are Stock B: 24 percent, 0 percent, 24 percent; market portfolio: 10 percent, 12 percent, 20 percent. Calculate the beta for Stock B.
Answer:
stock B's beta = 0.125
Explanation:
a stock's beta = covariance / variance
covariance = how the stock performs relative to the portfolio
variance = how the stock performs relative to its mean
using an excel spreadsheet, the covariance between stock B and the market portfolio = 0.0016 (=COVARIANCE.P function)
again using excel, the variance of stock B = 0.0128 (=VAR.P function)
stock B's beta = 0.0016 / 0.0128 = 0.125

Raymond Co. has $1.4 million of debt, $3 million of preferred stock, and $1.2 million of common equity. What would be its weight on common equity
Answer:
the Weight of common Equity is 0.21
Explanation:
The computation of the weight on common equity is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the total firm value
= Debt + Preferred stock + common Equity
= $1.4 million + $3 million + $1.2 million
= $5.6 million
Now the weight on common stock is
Weight of common Equity = Common Equity ÷Total Shareholders Fund
= $1.2 million ÷ $5.6 million
= 0.21
hence, the Weight of common Equity is 0.21
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.
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
