Answer:
price variance: 13,050 favorable
quantity variance: -1,760 unfavorable
Explanation:
standard quantity 5
standard price 1.1 per pound
actual quantity for 4900 units
[tex] beginning \: inventory + purchases = ending \: inventory + used[/tex]
8000 + 25,500 -7,400 = 26,100 pounds
standard quantity 4,900*5= 24,500
actual price 15,300/25,500 = 0.60
standard price = 1.10
[tex]price \: var = actual \: pounds(STD \: price - actual \: price)[/tex]
[tex]26100(1.1 - 0.6) = 13050 \: favorable[/tex]
Because actual is lower than STD the company saved money spending. It is favorable.
[tex]quantity \: var = STD \: price(STD \: quantity - actual \: quantity)[/tex]
[tex]1.10(24500 - 26100) = - 1760 \: unfavored[/tex]
Because the company used more pounds than STD the quantity variance is unfavorable
The materials price variance for Manipulation Manufacturing for the month of May was -$13,410 unfavorable, while the materials efficiency variance was -$1,760 unfavorable.
Explanation:To calculate the materials price and efficiency variances, we first need to determine the standard cost for the actual amount of raw materials used. The total amount of materials used during May is the starting inventory (8,000 lbs) plus purchases (25,500 lbs) minus ending inventory (7,400 lbs), which equals 26,100 lbs. The standard cost for this is $1.10 per pound, so the total standard cost is $28,710.
The actual cost of the raw materials purchased in May was $15,300, so the materials price variance is the actual cost minus the standard cost, or $15,300 - $28,710 = -$13,410, which is an unfavorable variance because the actual cost was higher than expected.
Next, we calculate the materials efficiency variance. The standard amount of materials expected for the production of 4,900 units is 5 lbs per unit, or 24,500 lbs. The actual quantity used was 26,100 lbs, so the efficiency variance is (24,500 lbs - 26,100 lbs) * $1.10 = -$1,760, which means the company used worse than expected amounts of raw materials, hence it's also unfavorable.

At the beginning of 2018, Uptown Travel, Inc. has the following account balances: Accounts receivable $ 46,000 (Debit) Allowance for Bad Debts $ 8,000 (Credit) During the year, credit sales were $ 820,000. Cash collected on credit sales was $ 750,000, and $ 17,000 was written off. Uptown uses the aging-of-receivables method to record bad debts expense. The amount estimated as uncollectible was $ 29,000. The amount of Bad Debts Expense for 2018 is ________.
Answer:
The amount of bad debt expenses for the year 2018 is $38,000
Explanation:
In the given question we have been told that the allowance for bad debts is $8,000 which the uptown travel, Inc has made and also another information that has been given in the question is that the uptown travel Inc uses the aging of account receivable method , this a method where we are calculating the amount of uncollectible bad debt expenses.
In this question it is been given that there is $17,000 of amount that is written off and there is $29,000 of amount which is uncollectible , so we will add these amount , which will give us the total amount which is uncollectible,
= $29,000 + $ 17,000
= $46,000
But in the question it has been given to us that the uptown travel Inc ahs made a allowance for the bad debts, so we will subtract this amount from the total amount which is uncollectible to get the amount of bad debt expenses.
Bad debt expenses = $46,000 - $8,000
= $38,000
On January 1, Puckett Company paid $1.6 million for 50,000 shares of Harrison's voting common stock, which represents a 40 percent investment. No allocation to goodwill or other specific account was made. Significant influence over Harrison is achieved by this acquisition and so Puckett applies the equity method. Harrison distributed a dividend of $2 per share during the year and reported net income of $560,000. What is the balance in the Investment in Harrison account found in Puckett's financial records as of December 31?
Answer: the correct answer is $1,724,000
Explanation: $560,000 x 0.40= 224,000 (net income times percentage of Harrison's voting common stock)
$2/ share x 50,000= (100,000) (the company paid 2$ dollars per share and there are 50000 shares)
1.6 million + 224,000 - 100,000= $1,724,000
Ace Industries has current assets equal to $9 million. The company's current ratio is 2.0, and its quick ratio is 1.5. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. What is the firm's level of current liabilities? $ What is the firm's level of inventories?
Answer: current liability = 4.5 million
inventory = 2.25 million
Explanation: Current ratio can be defined as a liquidity ratio that is used to analyze whether the company has enough resources to fulfill its short term obligations. It is computed as follows :-
[tex]current\:ratio\:=\frac{current\:assets}{current\:liability}[/tex]
[tex]current\:ratio\:=\:\frac{9million}{current\:liabilities}[/tex]
therefore,
current liabilities= [tex]\frac{9\million}{2}[/tex]
= 4.5 million
.
Quick ration is more stringent liquidity ratio. It is computed as follows :-
[tex]quick\:ratio\:= \frac{current\:assets\:-\:inventories}{current\;liabilities}[/tex]
[tex]1.5\:=\frac{9}{4.5}[/tex]
solving this equation we get
inventory = 2.25 million
Answer:
The correct answer is current liabilities is equal to $4.5 million and firm's level of inventory is $2.25 million.
Explanation:
Both current ratio and quick ratio are know as liquidity ratio which tells about the ability of a firm to meet its short term obligations.
The only difference between these two ratio is of taking inventory and prepaid expenses in to account, as while calculating the quick ratio we don't take inventory and prepaid expenses in to account.
Formula for current ratio = [tex]\frac{CURRENT ASSET}{CURRENT LIABILITIES}[/tex]
Where the current ratio is 2.0 and current assets is equal to $9 million,
[tex]\frac{\$9\ million}{CURRENT\ LIABILITIES}= 2.0[/tex]
CURRENT LIABILITIES = $4.5 MILLION
Formula for quick ratio = [tex]\frac{QUICK ASSETS}{CURRENT LIABILITIES}[/tex]
Here current liabilities = $4.5 million,
Quick asset = current assets - inventory
[tex]\frac{\$9\ MILLION - INVENTORY}{\$4.5\ MILLLION}= 1.5[/tex]
INVENTORY = $9 MILLION - $6.75 MILLION
INVENTORY = $2.25 MILLION
Which of the following is not characteristic of the typical limited liability company? Death of a member (owner) causes it to dissolve unless the remaining members decide to continue the business. All members (owners) are allowed by law to participate in the management of the firm. The company has, legally, a perpetual existence. All members (owners) have limited liability.
Answer:
Death of a member does not cause the LLC to dissolve unless the rest of the members want to continue. It is not a characteristic of a limited liability company.
Explanation:
An LLC or limited liability company is a kind of hybrid corporate structure which combines the characteristics of a corporation and sole proprietorship or partnership. The company has a separate legal existence apart from its members. The members have a limited liability. There is flexibility in taxation. All the members are allowed to participate in management, there is no board of directors for management.
Jason is developing a research design for a study of wine drinkers. The target population is widely dispersed. Jason needs to collect data on past consumption behavior and intentions for future behavior. Which type of data collection method is most appropriate for Jason's project? A. CommunicationB. ObservationC. MonitoringD. ExperimentalE. Causal
Answer:
The type of data collection which is most appropriated here is A) communication.
Explanation:
For Jason to collect the data for his study on wine drinkers , he needs to communicate the people who have tasted the wine, he needs to listen to those peoples stories , their evaluation about the wine , do they like it or not . Jason needs to meet those people to understand their communication characteristics, it will be really important on the Jason's part to get an insight in to what these people think about wine and enact their realities.
Final answer:
For Jason's study of wine drinkers' behavior with a dispersed target population, survey research is the most suitable data collection method because it allows for the efficient collection of self-reported data from a large number of respondents.
Explanation:
Jason is conducting a research study on wine drinkers' past consumption behavior and intentions for future behavior within a widely dispersed target population. Considering the need to collect self-reported data over a broad geographical area, the most appropriate data collection method for Jason's project is survey research. Surveys are generally efficient for collecting data from large samples, which makes them suitable for studies where participants are dispersed. As a result, survey research allows for generalization to the larger population, but one must be cautious of potential biases related to self-reported data. In this case, Jason will likely design a questionnaire that wine drinkers across various locations can complete, perhaps through online platforms, mail, or telephone interviews. This approach will enable him to gather the necessary information on consumption habits and future intentions without the need to observe behavior directly or conduct controlled experiments, which may not be feasible given the geographic dispersion of the population.
A product has a demand of 4000 units per year. Ordering cost is $20, and holding cost is $4 per unit per year. The cost-minimizing solution for this product is to order:? A. 200 units per order. B. all 4000 units at one time. C. every 20 days. D. 10 times per year. E. none of the above
Answer:
A. 200 units per order
Explanation:
To solve this you have to use the economic order quantity formula:
[tex]Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]
Where:
Demand = 4,000
S= supply cost = ordering cost = 20
H= holding cost = 4
[tex]Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2*4000*20}{4}}[/tex]
Economic Order Quantity = 200
How to Remember:
Demand per year and order cost goes in the dividend.
Holding cost goes in the divisor.
The most recent financial statements for Assouad, Inc., are shown here: Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $ 11,100 Current assets $ 5,400 Current liabilities $ 3,300 Costs 7,900 Fixed assets 10,200 Long-term debt 4,820 Taxable income $ 3,200 Equity 7,480 Taxes (24%) 768 Total $ 15,600 Total $ 15,600 Net income $ 2,432 Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 40 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year’s sales are projected to increase by exactly 17 percent. What is the external financing needed?
Final answer:
To calculate external financing needed for Assouad, Inc., we project next year's sales at a 17% increase and adjust balance sheet items proportionally. After projecting the balance sheet, we find a negative external financing needed of -$1,102.2, indicating that the firm does not need external financing and instead has surplus funds.
Explanation:
To calculate the external financing needed for Assouad, Inc., we first forecast next year's sales and the associated changes in the balance sheet items that are proportional to sales.
With a 17% increase in sales, next year's sales will be $11,100 x 1.17 = $12,987. The current assets, costs, and current liabilities will also increase by 17%. Fixed assets, long-term debt, and equity will not change because they are not proportional to sales according to the information provided.
Next, we determine the new levels of current assets and liabilities. Current assets will be $5,400 x 1.17 = $6,318 and current liabilities will be $3,300 x 1.17 = $3,861. The increase in retained earnings is found by taking the net income after dividends, which is (1 - dividend payout ratio) x net income = (1 - 0.40) x $2,432 = $1,459.2.
Now, we can outline the projected balance sheet for the next year:
Current assets: $6,318Fixed assets: $10,200 (unchanged)Total assets: Current assets + Fixed assets = $6,318 + $10,200 = $16,518Current liabilities: $3,861Long-term debt: $4,820 (unchanged)Equity: Existing equity + increase in retained earnings = $7,480 + $1,459.2 = $8,939.2Total liabilities and equity: Current liabilities + Long-term debt + Equity = $3,861 + $4,820 + $8,939.2 = $17,620.2The external financing needed (EFN) is the difference between the total projected assets and the total projected liabilities and equity. EFN = Total assets - Total liabilities and equity = $16,518 - $17,620.2 = -$1,102.2. A negative EFN suggests that the firm does not need external financing and has an excess of funds.
The carrying value of a $500,000, 4 year note with an 8 percent face rate (paid semiannually) that was issued to yield 9 percent is $491,031.19. What is the interest expense for the next interest period? A) $20,000.00 B) $19,641.25 C) $22,096.40 D) $44,192.81
Answer:
The answer is $22096,40
Explanation:
The annual interest expense is calculated: Nominal Value * yield rate*carrying value/nominal value. Because this note is paid semiannually, the formula is Nominal value * yield rate/2, where nominal value is equal to the face value ($500,000), and the yield rate = 9%. Because the carrying value is less than the nominal value, the cost for the company is less than the nominal expense.
So, the interest expense is $500,000 * 0.09/2 * 491,031.19/500,000 = 22,096,40
At the Fish Dish Restaurant, the forecast for Thursday afternoon’s lunch period was 200 meals served. The manager used the restaurant’s staffing guide to schedule employees to work and ended the lunch shift with total labor costs of $425. If the actual lunch revenue amounted to $1,250 and the budgeted lunch labor cost percentage for the month was 32 percent, how close to budget were the labor costs for Thursday’s lunch period?
Final answer:
The labor costs for Thursday's lunch period at the Fish Dish Restaurant were $25 over budget.
Explanation:
To determine how close the labor costs for Thursday's lunch period were to budget, we need to compare the actual labor costs to the budgeted labor costs. The budgeted lunch labor cost percentage for the month was 32%, which means the budgeted labor cost for Thursday's lunch would be 32% of the lunch revenue. The budgeted labor cost can be calculated by multiplying the lunch revenue by the budgeted labor cost percentage: $1,250 x 0.32 = $400.
Since the actual labor costs for Thursday's lunch period were $425, we can determine how close they were to budget by finding the difference between the actual labor costs and the budgeted labor cost: $425 - $400 = $25.The labor costs for Thursday's lunch period were $25 more than the budgeted labor cost. Therefore, they were $25 over budget.Cost standards for one unit of product no.

Do we need a bank loan to help buy the inventory? c. Should we develop a new software package to manage our inventory? d. With a new automated inventory management system, it may be possible to sell off our Birdlip warehouse. e. With the savings we make from our new inventory system, it may be possible to increase our dividend. f. Alternatively, we can use the savings to repay some of our long-term debt.
Answer: Investing= a, c, d
financing = b, e, f
Explanation: Decisions related to use of available funds in the investment of different assets involves investment decisions. Decisions relating to borrowing and allocation of funds for making investment decisions are called financing decisions.
From above, we can conclude that,
1. Stocking up of inventory involves investment decisions.
2. Considering of bank loan involves financing decision.
3. Managing inventory involves investing decisions.
4. Selling of warehouse is an investment decision as warehouse is a fixed asset.
5. Increment in dividend is a financing decision.
6. Repaying long term debt involves financing decisions.
Musashi and Rina are building their portfolios. Musashi purchases shares in a mutual fund and pays fees to a manager who actively manages the mutual fund's portfolio. He does so because he believes that the manager can identify inexpensive stocks that will rise in value. Rina is not convinced. She buys shares in an index fund—a type of mutual fund that simply buys all of the stocks in a given stock index rather than actively managing a portfolio.
Rina builds her portfolio based on the notion that:
A) All stocks are overvalued.
B) The stock market exhibits informational efficiency.
C) Stock analysts can use fundamental analysis to identify undervalued stocks.
Rina builds her portfolio with an index fund based on the belief that the stock market exhibits informational efficiency, suggesting that all known information is already reflected in stock prices, making it difficult to outperform the market consistently.
Explanation:Musashi and Rina are exploring different strategies in building their investment portfolios. Musashi opts for a mutual fund with active portfolio management, hoping to capitalize on undervalued stocks that will grow in value. Rina, on the other hand, chooses an index fund, a type of mutual fund that mirrors the performance of a specific stock index, such as the S&P 500. Rina's decision is based on her belief in the stock market's informational efficiency, which suggests that all available information about investment securities, such as stocks, is already reflected in their prices, making it difficult for any investor or fund manager to consistently outperform the market.
The contrast between Musashi's and Rina's choices highlights two fundamental approaches to investing: active management and passive management. Active management, as chosen by Musashi, involves selecting stocks in an attempt to beat market returns. Passive management, exemplified by Rina's choice, is based on the assumption that it's difficult to beat the market, so it's better to match market returns at a lower cost. This debate touches on key concepts in investment strategies, including diversification, risk, and the costs of transacting. Both investors seek to create diversified portfolios to minimize risk, but they diverge in their beliefs about market efficiency and the ability of active management to add value over time.
In a given year, a consulting firm has the following costs: $600,000 in wages and salaries paid to employees; $73,000 in rental payments for office space; and $82,000 for office supplies, advertising, and utilities. In addition, Caroline, the owner of the firm, works for the firm full time (and is not paid a salary, since she receives the firm's profits). If she did not work for the consulting firm, Caroline could earn $130,000 per year working as a consultant for another firm. For each possible amount of total revenue, fill in the accounting profit and economic profit of the advertising firm.

Explanation:
600,000 wages
73,000 rent
82,000 supplies
operating cost 755,000
opportunity cost 130,000
accounting profit revenue - operating costeconomic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costThe consulting firm's accounting profit and economic profit are calculated by deducting explicit costs and both explicit and implicit costs respectively from the total revenue. The calculations have been done for different values of total revenue to provide the respective profits.
Explanation:The total cost incurred by the firm equals the sum of wages and salaries, rental payments, office expenses and the opportunity cost of the owner (Caroline's potential income). Here, the total cost incurred is $600,000 (wages and salaries) + $73,000 (rental payments) + $82,000 (office expenses) + $130,000 (opportunity cost) = $885,000.
Accounting profit is the total revenue minus the explicit costs (wages, salaries, rent, and office expenses), and economic profit is the total revenue minus both explicit and implicit costs (the opportunity cost).
Therefore, for each given level of total revenue:
When Total Revenue = $750,000: Accounting Profit = $750,000 - $755,000 = -$5,000; Economic Profit = $750,000 - $885,000 = -$135,000 When Total Revenue = $800,000: Accounting Profit = $800,000 - $755,000 = $45,000; Economic Profit = $800,000 - $885,000 = -$85,000 When Total Revenue = $850,000: Accounting Profit = $850,000 - $755,000 = $95,000; Economic Profit = $850,000 - $885,000 = -$35,000 When Total Revenue = $900,000: Accounting Profit = $900,000 - $755,000 = $145,000; Economic Profit = $900,000 - $885,000 = $15,000Learn more about Economic and Accounting Profit here:

The Morris Corporation has $350,000 of debt outstanding, and it pays an interest rate of 12% annually. Morris's annual sales are $1.75 million, its average tax rate is 40%, and its net profit margin on sales is 3%. If the company does not maintain a TIE ratio of at least 3 to 1, then its bank will refuse to renew the loan, and bankruptcy will result. What is Morris's TIE ratio? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
The Times Interest Earned (TIE) ratio for Morris Corporation is 2.08, which is less than the 3 to 1 ratio expected by its bank. This ratio is calculated by dividing Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) by the company’s total interest expense.
Explanation:The TIE (Times Interest Earned) ratio is a measure of a company's ability to meet its debt obligations. In this case, we are asked to calculate this for the Morris Corporation. To begin with, we need to find the Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT), which is calculated as Sales - Taxes - (Sales - EBIT). Given that the net profit margin (after tax profit) is 3%, we can determine that the pre-tax profit is 5% (3%/(1-40%)). This infers with an annual sale of $1.75 million, the EBIT is $87,500 ($1,750,000 x 5%).
The interest expense is $42,000 ($350,000 x 12%). Therefore, the TIE ratio is 2.08 ($87,500 / $42,000 = 2.08). This implies that Morris Corporation is not maintaining the TIE ratio of 3 to 1 its bank wants, and therefore may face the risk of bankruptcy.

How is the measure of occupational prestige determined? a. Employers are asked how prestigious they believe their businesses are. b. Jobs are ranked according to how much they are paid. c. Employees are asked to evaluate the prestige of their jobs. d. A nationwide sample of people is asked to evaluate a series of different jobs.
Answer:
The measure of occupational prestige is determined through the process in which a nationwide sample of people is asked to evaluate a series of different jobs.
Explanation:
Occupational prestige is also known as job prestige. It is a way used by sociologists to define the social position or standing of people based on their occupation. Rather than using the personal attributes of individuals, it ranks people according to their profession or occupation. The ranks lie from 0 to 100, with 0 being lowest score and 100 the highest. These ranks are alloted to different professions by conducting nationwide surveys.
Final answer:
The measure of occupational prestige is determined by averaging the ratings from a nationwide sample of people asked to evaluate different jobs, reflecting society's esteem for these positions.
Explanation:
The measure of occupational prestige is determined by a nationwide sample of people who are asked to evaluate a series of different jobs. Since the late 1940s, these national surveys have gathered Americans' perceptions on the prestige of dozens of occupations, averaging these ratings to yield prestige scores for those occupations. Jobs like physicians, college professors, and elementary school teachers tend to score high in these evaluations, reflecting the high esteem society holds for these positions. Conversely, jobs such as garbage collectors and janitors typically score lower, indicating less societal esteem. This method underscores the idea that occupational prestige is a key indicator of social class in high-income nations, alongside income, wealth, and education.

A man uses a loan program for small businesses to obtain a loan to help expand his vending machine business. The man borrows $26 comma 000 for 4 years with a simple interest rate of 1.4%. Determine the amount of money the man must repay after 4 years.
To find the total repayment amount after 4 years for a $26,000 loan at a 1.4% simple interest rate, calculate the interest ($1,456) and add it to the principal, resulting in a total of $27,456.
The subject of this question is Mathematics, specifically focusing on the calculation of simple interest and the total repayment amount of a loan. To determine the amount of money the man must repay after 4 years on a loan of $26,000 with a simple interest rate of 1.4%, we use the formula for simple interest: Interest = Principal imes Rate imes Time.
The principal (P) is $26,000, the rate (r) is 1.4% or 0.014 (as a decimal), and the time (T) is 4 years. Plugging these values into the formula:
Interest = $26,000 times 0.014 times 4 = $1,456
The total amount of interest that the man would need to pay over 4 years is $1,456. To find the total repayment amount, we add the interest to the original principal:
Total Repayment Amount = Principal + Interest
Total Repayment Amount = $26,000 + $1,456 = $27,456
Therefore, the man must repay $27,456 after 4 years.

Iridium Corp. has spent $ 3.2 billion over the past decade developing a satellite-based telecommunication system. It is currently trying to decide whether to spend an additional $ 352 million on the project. The firm expects that this outlay will finish the project and will generate cash flow of $ 15.1 million per year over the next 5 years. A competitor has offered $ 460 million for the satellites already in orbit. Classify the firm's outlays as sunk costs or opportunity costs, and specify the incremental cash flows.
Answer:
1. Sunk costs : $3.2 billion is a sunk cost as it is already incurred.
2. Opportunity costs: $352 million investment for finishing project is an Opportunity cost. However it will yield $15.1 million per annum for next 5 Yrs.
So Present Value of this CF is less than $15.1 [tex]\times[/tex] 5=$75.5 million.
So Net Present Value = CF0 + CF1 + ......+ CF5 = -352 + Less than 75 = Negative.
So another Opportunity of selling the Satellite for $460 million is a better option.
3. Specify the relevant cash flows.
If additional $352 million investment is undertaken,
$352 million will be Cash outflow in Y(0). It will result in Annual CF of $15.1 million for next 5 yrs.
A basic tenet of variable costing is that fixed manufacturing overhead costs be currently expensed. What is the rationale behind this? A. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs occur regardless of level of production. B. Fixed manufacturing costs change as production changes. C. Allocation of fixed manufacturing costs are arbitrary at best. D. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are generally immaterial in amount.
Answer:
C. Allocation of fixed manufacturing costs are arbitrary at best.
Explanation:
A.- Yes, fixed cost occurs regardless of the level of production, but that is true for every costing method, and some of them do calculate a unit rate for fixed overhead. the statment is partially true
B.- If fixed cost changes with the level of production then, are variable cost, not fixed. Statement is FALSE
C. The allocation of fixed manufacturing costs is arbitrary at best. This is the reasoning for variable costing to consider fixed cost expenses, the method of allocating cost, using a rate always generates a difference in applied and overapplied MO It generates distortions and is not objective, it is based on personal option. The use of direct labor hours, cost or machine hours is evidence of that. TRUE
D.- There is such a cost, like depreciation, but others do incur in cash disbursements, like rent, indirect materials, supervisors, maintenance cost and others.is Statment is FALSE
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are expensed in variable costing as they occur regardless of production levels, aiding in cost analysis and decision-making.
One of the reasons behind expensing fixed manufacturing overhead costs in variable costing is that fixed manufacturing overhead costs occur regardless of the level of production. This means that even if production levels change, fixed overhead costs remain constant.
Expensing fixed manufacturing overhead costs aligns with the principle of variable costing, where only variable costs are included in the cost of goods sold. This method helps in providing a clear understanding of the costs directly tied to production.
By immediately expensing fixed manufacturing overhead costs, companies can better analyze the cost of producing each unit and make informed decisions on pricing and production levels.

Which of the following typically happens as prices for a good or service rises?a. suppliers leave the marketb. consumers seek more of the good or service to consumec. demand becomes increasingly elasticd. more suppliers enter the market
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
As the price of product increases the consumers will demand less because they now have to pay more than earlier.
The supply however is directly related to price level and will increase with the increase in price. The producers will produce more in order to enjoy higher revenue and profit.
This would encourage the other potential firms to enter the market, to earn higher profits.So more suppliers will enter the market.
However, this would lead to increase in supply of output. The excess supply will cause the price to fall eliminating higher profits.
When prices for a good or service rise, typically, more suppliers enter the market to take advantage of higher potential profits. This increase in suppliers is a response to the opportunities created by higher prices, leading to an increase in the quantity supplied.
The question which typically happens as prices for a good or service rise can be answered by understanding basic economic principles. When prices rise due to increased demand or reduced supply, it creates an opportunity for higher profits, which in turn attracts more suppliers into the market. This is because suppliers are always looking for markets where they can sell their products at higher prices to maximize their earnings. Moreover, the increased competition among suppliers aiming to take advantage of the higher prices may lead to an increase in the quantity supplied of the good or service. Hence, the correct answer is: more suppliers enter the market.
The Fly-By-Night Corp. paid a dividend of $2.85 last year and the dividend is expected to grow at 5% per year for the foreseeable future. The company’s stock is currently selling for $38 per share. What are the expected dividend yield, capital gains yield, and total expected return for Fly-By-Night.
Answer: Dividend yield is 7.875%,
Capital gain yield is 5%
Total yield is 12.875%
Explanation:
Dividend last year= 2.85
Growth rate = 5% or 0.05
∴ Dividend next year [tex]D_{1} = D_{0}\times(1+g)[/tex]
=2.85×(1+0.05)
=2.9925
Stock price = $38
Required Return = [tex]\frac{D_{1}}{P_{0} }[/tex] + Growth rate
= (2.9925/38 ) + 0.05
= 0.12875
[tex]P_{1}= P_{0}\times(1+Growth)[/tex]
= 38×(1+0.05)
= 39.9
Dividend yield = [tex]\frac{D_{1}}{P_{0} }[/tex]
= 2.9925÷38
= 0.07875 or 7.875%
Capital gain yield = [tex]\frac{(P_{1} -P_{0} ) }{P_{0} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{(39.9 - 38)}{38}[/tex]
= 0.05 or 5%
Total Expected Return = Dividend yield + Capital gain yield
= 0.07875 + 0.05
= 0.12875 or 12.875%
∴ Dividend yield is 7.875%,
Capital gain yield is 5%
Total yield is 12.875%
