The dividend per share for this year can be calculated using the target payout ratio and estimated earnings per share. In this case, the dividend per share is $1.00.

To find the dividend per share for this year, we need to calculate the target dividend payout based on the target payout ratio and estimated earnings per share.

The target dividend payout ratio is 25%, which means the company aims to distribute 25% of its earnings as dividends.

The estimated earnings per share for this year is $4.00.

So, the dividend per share for this year can be calculated as:

= $4.00 * 0.25

= $1.00

Therefore, the dividend per share for this year is $1.00.

Berkshire Gardens Inc.'s dividend per share for this year, considering a five-year adjustment period to a 25% payout ratio with estimated earnings per share of $4.00, is $0.68.

Answer: d. Questions in a survey that depend on the responses to earlier questions or which have questions dependent on them.

Explanation: Questions in surveys are chief tools used in the collection of necessary information from the respondents. Contingency questions as a type of survey questions depend on the responses to earlier questions or which have questions dependent on them. They are answered only if the respondent gives a particular response to a previously asked question and this helps to avoid asking questions of people that do not apply to them.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Questions in a survey that depend on the responses to earlier questions or which have questions dependent on them.

Explanation:

Contingency questions are those that come after another dependent question has been answered. Contingency questions explore more details of the first question asked and can only be answered depending on what previous answers were. The first question typically requires a Yes/No answer such as "Are you over age?" or "Do you have a car?". Contingency questions examples would be "How old are you?" or "What color is your car?".

Answer:

Read answer carefully

Explanation:n a 1970 Times magazine article, the economist Milton Friedman argued that businesses' sole purpose is to generate profit for shareholders. Moreover, he maintained, companies that did adopt "responsible" attitudes would be faced with more binding constraints than companies that did not, rendering them less competitive.

The occasion of Friedman's passing last week offers an opportunity to revisit that argument. It remains the basis for many companies' contention today that "corporate social responsibility," "sustainable business," and other such monikers are a distraction from their core obligation: to act in their shareholders' best interests. That is, acting "responsibly" risks reducing profits or forgoing revenue in the name of social good.

"What does it mean to say that the corporate executive has a 'social responsibility' in his capacity as businessman?" asked Friedman in his 1970 article.

"If this statement is not pure rhetoric, it must mean that he is to act in some way that is not in the interest of his employers. For example, that he is to refrain from increasing the price of the product in order to contribute to the social objective of preventing inflation, even though a price increase would be in the best interests of the corporation. Or that he is to make expenditures on reducing pollution beyond the amount that is in the best interests of the corporation or that is required by law in order to contribute to the social objective of improving the environment. Or that, at the expense of corporate profits, he is to hire 'hardcore' unemployed instead of better-qualified available workmen to contribute to the social objective of reducing poverty.

"In each of these cases, the corporate executive would be spending someone else's money for a general social interest. Insofar as his actions in accord with his 'social responsibility' reduce returns to stockholders, he is spending their money. Insofar as his actions raise the price to customers, he is spending the customers' money. Insofar as his actions lower the wages of some employees, he is spending their money." Friedman argued that such actions in effect turned executives into public employees or civil servants, levying "taxes" (in the form of corporate money allocated to social causes) and making "expenditures" -- a part of "the socialist view that political mechanisms, not market mechanisms, are the appropriate way to determine the allocation of scarce resources to alternative uses."

Friedman concluded:

"The difficulty of exercising 'social responsibility' illustrates, of course, the great virtue of private competitive enterprise -- it forces people to be responsible for their own actions and makes it difficult for them to 'exploit' other people for either selfish or unselfish purposes. They can do good -- but only at their own expense."

We know better now. For example, we understand that ignoring environmental and social issues can be bad for business. Companies that pollute their local communities risk poisoning their customers. Ignoring the state of the local school system risks depleting the pool of qualified workers. Abusing workers risks higher turnover and training costs, not to mention greater difficulty attracting the most qualified candidates.

It's never that simple, of course. In a globalized world, companies are free to exploit or pollute a local community, then move on to the next place. Unfettered markets and exploitation-friendly tax schemes reward companies for acting in their own interests in the name of economic growth and competitiveness. So, Friedman's philosophy still reigns supreme.

Friedman's philosophy is far from universally shared, even in the business community. In 1979, for example, Quaker Oats president Kenneth Mason, writing in Business Week, declared Friedman's profits-are-everything philosophy "a dreary and demeaning view of the role of business and business leaders in our society." Wrote Mason: "Making a profit is no more the purpose of a corporation than getting enough to eat is the purpose of life. Getting enough to eat is a requirement of life;

Answer:

a)

Kitting: $0.072 per part and Boxing: $0.764 per cubic feet

b)

Kitting: $12.6 and Boxing: $6.9

Explanation:

Given that Keyboard spends $9,000,000 per month on kitting and $21,000,000 per month on boxing.

Keyboard estimates it will use 125,000,000 parts per month and ship products with a total volume of 27,500,000 cubic feet per month.

a) Since Kitting costs based on the number of parts used in the computer:

The predetermined overhead allocation​ rate for kitting = Money spent on kitting / number of parts used per month = $9000000 / 125000000 = $0.072 per part

Since Boxing costs based on the cubic feet of space the computer required:

The predetermined overhead allocation​ rate for Boxing = Money spent on Boxing / total = $21000000 / 27500000 = $0.764 per cubic feet.

a) each desktop computer requires 175 parts and has a volume of 9 cubic feet

For kitting, Activity cost per desktop = Predetermined overhead allocation rate x  quantity per desktop = $0.072 × 175 = $12.6

For Boxing, Activity cost per desktop = Predetermined overhead allocation rate x  quantity per desktop = $0.764 × 9 = $6.9

To calculate the price of the zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000, a YTM of 5.73%, and semiannual compounding for a 23-year maturity, the present value formula yields a bond price of $2,030.88.

To calculate the price of a zero coupon bond, we need to discount the par value of the bond to the present using the yield to maturity (YTM). The formula to find the present value (PV) of a zero coupon bond is PV = F / (1 + r/n)^(n*t), where F is the par value of the bond, r is the YTM, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years until maturity.

Given the par value (F) of $10,000, a YTM (r) of 5.73%, semiannual compounding (n = 2), and a maturity of 23 years (t = 23), the calculation is as follows:

PV = $10,000 / (1 + 0.0573/2)^(2*23)

PV = $10,000 / (1.02865)^(46)

PV = $10,000 / (4.9244)

PV = $2,030.88

The price of the bond is $2,030.88 when assuming semiannual compounding at a YTM of 5.73 percent for a 23-year maturity.

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

$15,000 (Hillary's partnership basis at the beginning of the year) + $10,000 (ordinary business income) + $8,000 (tax exempt income) - $15,000 (reduction in share of partnership's debt) - $25,000 (cash distribution) = -$7,000. Since the basis cannot be negative, it is $0.

Also, since Hillary's adjusted basis resulted in a negative value, she must report a capital gain of $7,000. That way her basis = -$7,000 + $7,000 = $0

Answer:

$7,000 Gain and $0 Adjusted basis

Explanation:

Hilary adjusted basis is calculation below.

Hilary outside basis in LTL General Partnership of $15,000

Add:Ordinary business income $10,000

Tax-exempt income $8,000

Less: reduction in Hilary's share of partnership debt $15,000

Cash distribution of $25,000

Adjusted basis loss $7,000

Hence;

= ( $ 7,000 ) + $ 7,000 ( gain )

= $ 0

Therefore Hilary's adjusted basis at the end of the year will be adjusted basis of $ 0 because

Hilary's basis increased by her share of ordinary business income and tax exempt income and then decreased by her actual cash distribution as well as her deemed cash distribution from the reduction in her share of debt which makes her actual and deemed cash distribution exceed her basis which is Hilary must report $ 7,000 of capital gain leaving her with a $0 basis in her partnership interest.

Answer:

Please refer explanation and tables attached

Explanation:

1. Double-declining balance Method:

This is where the asset's value is depreciated at twice the rate than the straight line method. The depreciation amounts would be higher in the early years of the asset's life and gradually reduce towards the end. Hence, it does not mean that the depreciation amount would be higher than the straight line basis.

Straight Line depreciation per year = 1/6* x 100 = 16.67%

*as it is useful for six years

Hence double-depreciation value = 16.67% x 2 = 33.34%

It is calculated as depreciation rate x book value of asset at the beginning of the period.

Please refer attached table one for all years depreciation.

2. Activity based depreciation is whereby an asset is depreciated based on the asset’s activity such as the number of hours worked or the number of units produced, during a particular period of time. Activity based depreciation per year is calculated as:

[(Cost - Salvage value) x activity performed during the period] / Total estimated life activity of the asset

Please refer attached table two for all years depreciation.

To prepare a depreciation schedule for six years using the double-declining-balance method, calculate the straight-line depreciation rate, the double-declining-balance depreciation rate, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for each year. To prepare a depreciation schedule using the activity-based method, calculate the depreciation rate, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value.

Final answer:

This scenario demonstrates economies of scale, where diversifying production to make pickup trucks and SUVs alongside sedans reduces average costs. International trade is critical for this strategy to succeed, leading to improved efficiency and consumer choice while fostering dynamic comparative advantage through global competition.

Explanation:

The concept illustrated by a car manufacturer realizing it can lower its average costs by diversifying operations to include the production of pickup trucks and SUVs is known as economies of scale. This occurs when increasing production allows for the average cost per unit to decrease, due to the spreading out of fixed costs over more units and, often, more efficient use of resources.

In the provided scenario, international trade facilitates these economies of scale by allowing the company to focus each assembly plant on a single model, leading to increased production without additional capital or labor. It also introduces the concept of dynamic comparative advantage, where advantages develop over time through learning and competition, as opposed to being inherently obtained. This has a significant impact on international trade, as it combines lower costs with increased competition and consumer choice.

Answer:

Growth rate 2.4%

Explanation:

MV=D1/(Ke-g)

Where MV=share market value=$15

D1=Dividend at year end=$.72

Ke=stock's expected rate of return=7.2%

By putting above values in formula, we get;

MV=D1/(Ke-g)

15=.72/(7.2%-g)

15*7.2%-15g=.72

1.08-15g=.72

.72-1.08=-15g

g= -.36/-15

g=2.4%

Answer:

Growth rate = g = 7.152%

Explanation:

To calculate the Robert forecast of the PAMC's growth rate in the question, we are give the following values

Share market value(MV)=$15

The stock's expected rate of return(Ke)=7.2%

Dividend at end of the year (D)=$0.72

Using the this formula, we can find the growth rate by making g the subject of formula in this formula

MV=D1/(Ke-g)

Substituting the values we have

15 = 0.72/(7.2-g)

15(7.2-g) = 0.72

108 - 15g = 0.72

Rearranging and collecting like terms, we have

108 - 0.72 = 15g

107.28 = 15g

Making g the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 15 we have

g= 7.152%

Final answer:

The selling expense budget for Zilly Co. for June is $19,220, which includes the sales manager's salary and the commission on predicted sales.

Explanation:

The selling expense budget for Zilly Co. for the month of June can be calculated by adding the fixed salary of the sales manager to the commission that is based on the sales for that month. To calculate the commission, we use the given sales prediction and commission rate. Here's the step-by-step calculation:

First, calculate the commission by multiplying the predicted sales by the commission rate: $176,000 * 0.07 = $12,320.

Add the fixed monthly salary of the sales manager to the commission to get the total selling expenses: $6,900 + $12,320 = $19,220.

Therefore, the selling expense budget for Zilly Co. for the month of June is $19,220.

Answer:

$3,348

Explanation:

At the year end

Account Receivable Balance = $230,000 + $22,400 = $252,400

Allowance for uncollectible accounts = $9,000 - $7,300 = $1,700

Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

Closing Value of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be as follow

Closing Balance = $252,400 x 2% = $5,048

As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have credit balance of $1,700, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,048 at the year end.

Adjustment Value = $5,048 - $1,700 = $3,348

Answer:

Ivanhoe should report as its December 31 inventory $707,000

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Inventory in hand= $669,000

goods purchased from Pharoah Corporation, f.o.b. shipping point= $11,000

cost of goods sold to Ro-Ro Company=$27,000

Therefore, in order to calculate the amount should Ivanhoe report as its December 31 inventory we have to make the following calculation:

inventory = Inventory in hand+goods purchased from Pharoah Corporation, f.o.b. shipping point+cost of goods sold to Ro-Ro Company

inventory =$669,000+$11,000+$27,000

inventory =$707,000

Ivanhoe should report as its December 31 inventory $707,000

Final answer:

Ivanhoe Company should report an adjusted inventory value of $653,000 on December 31, including the $11,000 of goods in transit from Pharoah Corporation (f.o.b. shipping point) and excluding the $27,000 of goods in transit to Ro-Ro Company (f.o.b. destination).

Explanation:

The amount Ivanhoe should report as its December 31 inventory can be determined by taking into account the goods in transit. The $11,000 of goods purchased from Pharoah Corporation, which were shipped f.o.b. shipping point, should be included in Ivanhoe's inventory because the ownership of the goods transfers to the buyer once the seller ships the goods. However, the $27,000 of goods sold to Ro-Ro Company, which were shipped f.o.b. destination, should not be included in Ivanhoe's inventory since the ownership doesn't transfer until the goods arrive at the destination. Therefore, the inventory on December 31 would be calculated as follows:

Physical inventory count: $669,000

+ Goods in transit from Pharoah Corporation: $11,000

- Goods in transit to Ro-Ro Company: $27,000

Adjusted inventory value: $653,000

Explanation:

Eureka Forbes, India"s leading water cleanser maker, is making a bet on outlets as an alternative to achieve share in an increasingly crowded market  than his major direst sales which now has more than a hundred and fifty brands.

The Shapoorji Pallonji crew manufacturer stated it won 9% share in water purifiers past three years to contact 67% as a result of an increase in retail exchange regardless of large firms e.g. Hindustan Unilever and a number of multinationals in the market.

Accomplice vice chairman (advertising and marketing) Shashank Sinha said the company will quickly increase the community of retail shops, where the products are sold from 20,000 to 25,000. He said, the organization is developing a model whereby direct revenue executives are present to assist buyers who prefer a mannequin and purchase it straight from the companys internet site. "The knock-and-sale mannequin is losing relevance in digital world.

Eureka Forbes has about 7,000 direct sales executives, making it the biggest direct promoting company in Asia.  When we get leads from digital world, assisted revenue can be helping lower return charges since 60% of orders positioned are on money-on-delivery mode, Sinha said. The corporation is increasing its sales in more  its direct revenue to smaller towns and for more recent products such as air purifiers and home security solutions, cognizance for which is still in its infancy. The water cleaner industry accounts for 70% of Eureka Forbes turnover, which grew 59% in 2016-17 over the earlier 12 months to touch Rs three,040 core.

Apart from water purifiers, the enterprise is the market chief in vacuum cleaners, with 80% share, and in air purifiers, with 44% share.

Sinha mentioned, the organization is launching value-added products of water purifiers examples are water purifiers which have tea/espresso maker developed into it, they offer flavoured water, sparkling water and also sizzling or cold water from identical unit. He said the company is working on achieving this.

Sinha said tax on water purifiers will go up beneath the goods and offerings tax regime from 14.5% to 18%, while vacuum cleaners and air purifiers will fall in the 28% tax bracket. Also, sales to retail channel have slowed down because outlets are not keen to inventory and direct sales to purchasers are no longer affected, he said.

Cost will no longer be broaden as a result of the larger taxation due to the fact that we wish to study the effect utterly as one of the crucial components are imported. Decision will be made within a month or two he said.

Eureka Forbes uses a short, direct-to-consumer distribution channel in Asia. Its door-to-door sales method may not be as feasible in the U.S. due to cultural preferences, privacy concerns, and higher labor costs.

The length of the distribution channel for Eureka Forbes' vacuum cleaners is relatively short since the company sells its products directly through door-to-door sales. This direct-to-consumer (D2C) approach eliminates the need for intermediaries such as distributors and retailers, allowing Eureka Forbes to achieve higher conversion ratios in Asian markets. However, the feasibility of this distribution method in the U.S. market is questionable due to cultural, economic, and market differences. For example, American consumers may be less receptive to door-to-door selling due to privacy concerns and the convenience of online shopping. Additionally, the high labor costs associated with personal selling might make this approach less viable in the U.S. Market characteristics, such as a preference for large-scale retail outlets and online retail, suggest that alternative distribution strategies could be more effective in reaching consumers in the U.S.

Final answer:

Buy call options if you believe the true volatility is higher than the implied volatility, and to hedge your position, hold a number of shares equal to the Delta of the option for each contract purchased.

Explanation:

If the implied volatility of ExxonMobil stock call options is 28% and you believe the true volatility is 30%, you would want to buy call options. This is because options with a higher volatility are undervalued; hence, if the stock's volatility increases to the true volatility that you expect, the price of the options will rise, leading to a potential profit.

To hedge your option position, you would use the Delta of the option, which measures the rate of change of the option price with respect to the price of the underlying asset. The Delta can be found using option pricing models like the Black-Scholes model. You would hold a fraction of a share for each option contract equivalent to the Delta to be Delta-neutral. For example, if the Delta was 0.5000, you would hold 0.5000 shares for each call option purchased to maintain a hedged position.

Final answer:

The standard cost for one gallon of Pane Corp.'s nutrition drink is calculated by adjusting each ingredient's required amount for standard waste, then multiplying by the standard price, resulting in a total cost of $5.57.

Explanation:

To calculate the standard cost for one gallon of the nutrition drink, we need to determine the standard usage (quantity) of each ingredient that accounts for the standard waste and then compute the cost by multiplying this adjusted quantity by the standard price.

For Lime Kool-Drink: The amount required is 24.0 oz with a 4% waste, thus the standard usage is 24.0 oz / (1 - 0.04) = 25 oz. Multiplying the standard usage by the standard price gives us $0.15 per oz × 25 oz = $3.75.

For Sugar: The amount needed is 0.72 lb with a 10% waste, so the standard usage is 0.72 lb / (1 - 0.10) = 0.8 lb. Therefore, the cost is $0.65 per lb × 0.8 lb = $0.52.

For Protein Tablets: No waste is considered, hence the standard usage is 2 tablets. The cost is $0.40 per tablet × 2 tablets = $0.80.

For Water: The quantity required is 50 oz with no waste, hence the standard usage remains 50 oz. The cost is $0.01 per oz × 50 oz = $0.50.

Adding up the cost of each ingredient, we get the total standard cost for one gallon of the nutrition drink which is $3.75 + $0.52 + $0.80 + $0.50 = $5.57.
