You, a real-estate developer, own a piece of land in Nassau, Bahamas, next to an equal-size piece of land owned by a competitor. Both of you have the choice of building a casino or a hotel. Your payoffs in millions of dollars are as follows:You
Your Competitor Casino Hotel Casino 3,3 20,5Hotel 5,20 2,2How much is it worth to you to get your casino building permit first?a. $2 millionb. $3 millionc. $15 milliond. $17 million
Answer: c. $15 million
Explanation:
If you get your casino building first, your competitor will have to get the Hotel so as to make $5 million which is more than the $3 million if they were to choose a casino as well.
The Payoff for you would therefore be $20 million and for them $5 million.
The Net Payoff over your competitor would be = 20 - 5
= $15 million

Duff Inc. paid a 2.34 dollar dividend today. If the dividend is expected to grow at a constant 1 percent rate and the required rate of return is 11 percent, what would you expect Duff's stock price to be 4 years from now?
Answer:
$24.60
Explanation:
The computation of the price for 4 years from now is shown below:
Price = Dividend ÷(Required rate of return - growth rate)
where,
Dividend is
= Dividend × (1 + growth rate)^number of years
= $2.34 × (1 + 0.01)^5
= $2.46
All the other items would remain the same
So, the price is
= $2.46 ÷ (11% - 1%)
= $24.60
Do your shopping behavior and purchase criteria differ between purchases made for yourself and purchases made as gifts? How?
Explanation:
Yes, as purchasing behavior and purchasing criteria tend to vary according to the reason for the purchase.
The consumer purchase decision process begins by identifying a need, searching for available information about the purchase need found, evaluating the options available for purchase and finally buying decision. And this process varies according to the type of purchase, if it is for yourself, you can consider different benefits and options, when a purchase is made to be a gift, you can have different criteria in relation to the price you want to pay, the preferences and needs of the person who will receive the gift, etc.
Which means that sellers must create different strategies for each purchase situation, in order to positively influence the purchase process for a gift, if that is the case.
In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $5 million, patent; $3 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $5 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life. What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items
Answer:
$1,000,000 per year
Explanation:
We can infer from the above information that the intangible assets with indefinite period are checked annually, for impairment hence patent is a limited life intangible.
Therefore;
The amount of amortization of patent at the end of first year
= Patent value ÷ Useful life
= $5 million ÷ 5 years
= $1,000,000 per year
Therefore, the company should amortize $1,000,000 per year.

a) true
b) false
Answer: True
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculates the cost of capital to a company for the means of capital it uses to finance operations. It is based on the cost and the weight of the various capital types.
Formula is;
= Cost of Equity * %Equity + Cost of debt * %Debt * ( 1 - Tax rate) + Cost of Preferred Stock * %Preferred stock
The required rate of return on preferred stock is the same as the Cost of Preferred Stock. From the formula it is shown that if this rate increases, holding all else equal, total WACC will increase.

Kosher Pickle Company acquires all the outstanding stock of Midwest Produce for $12.5 million. The fair value of Midwest's assets is $8.5 million. The fair value of Midwest's liabilities is $1.3 million. Calculate the amount paid for goodwill
Answer:
$5.3 million
Explanation:
Kosher pickle company acquires outstanding stock of Midwest produce for $12.5 million
Fair value of Midwest assets is $8.5 million
Fair value of Midwest liabilities is $1.3 million
The first step is to calculate the fair value of net identifiable assets
= $8.5 million-$1.3 million
=7.2 million
Therefore, the amount paid for goodwill can be calculated as follows
= $12.5 million-$7.2 million
= $5.3 million
Hence the amount paid for goodwill is $5.3 million
The incredible shrinking $50 bill in 1957 was worth $50, but in 2007 it is worth only $. a. What was the compounded average annual inflation rate (loss of purchasing power) during this period of time? b. Fifty dollars invested in the stock market in 1957 was worth $ in 2007. In view of your answer to Part (a), what was the annual real interest rate earned on this investment?
Answer:
A. 4.02%
B. 3.49%
Explanation:
a. Computation of the compounded average annual inflation rate during this period of time
Using this formula
Annual inflation rate=FV/ P *(1+i)^t
Where,
t = 2007 - 1957 = 50 yrs
FV = 6.42
P = 50
Let plug in the formula
Annual inflation rate = (6.42 / 50)^(1/50) - 1
Annual inflation rate= 0.1284 ^ 0.02 - 1
Annual inflation rate= 0.959779 - 1
Annual inflation rate= -0.0402208 *100%
Annual inflation rate=4.02%
b. Computation of the annual real interest rate earned on this investment
First step is to find the Norminal ROR
Using this formula
Norminal ROR
= FV/ P *(1+i)^t
Where
FV = 1998
P = 50
let plug in the formula
Norminal ROR = (1998 / 50)^(1/50) -1
Norminal ROR= 39.96 ^ 0.02 - 1
Norminal ROR= 1.076545 - 1
Norminal ROR= 0.0765457 *100
Norminal ROR= 7.65%
Last step is to calculate for annual real interest rate earned using this formula
Annual real interest rate earned = (1+ Nominal ROR) / (1+ Inflation) -1
Let plug in the formula
Annual real interest rate earned=(1+0.0765457) / (1+0.0402208) - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= (1.0765457) / (1.0402208) - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= 1.034920 - 1
Annual real interest rate earned= 0.0349*100
Annual real interest rate earned=3.49%
Therefore the Annual inflation rate will be 4.02% while Annual real interest rate earned will be 3.49%

Answer:
Sole proprietorship:
Advantage: is very easy to establish, and gives total control to the owner.
Disadvantage: the sole owner is personally liable in case of bankruptcy.
Partnership:
Advantage: involve two or more people, meaning that capital is likely to be higher. Gives tax benefits to partners.
Disadvantage: partners are also personally liable in case of bankruptcy.
Corporation:
Advantage: a corporation is legally, a separate entity from its stockholders, meaning that stockholders are not personally liable in case of bankruptcy. Corporations can also grow to include a large number of people (stockholders).
Disadvantage: they are more difficult to start than other types of business entities, and are more closely inspected.
Limited Liability Company:
Advantage: they combine the pass-through characteristics of partnerships with the limited liability of corporations.
Disadvantage: they are not necessarily as profitable as corporations.

Item 3Item 3 Cutter Enterprises purchased equipment for $87,000 on January 1, 2018. The equipment is expected to have a five-year life and a residual value of $4,800. Using the sum-of-the-years'-digits method, depreciation for 2018 and book value at December 31, 2018, would be
Answer:
$27,400 and $59,600
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense and the book value using the sum of-the-years'-digits method is shown below:
Depreciation expense is
= (Purchase cost - residual value) × useful life ÷ sum of years
= ($87,000 - $4,800) × 5 years ÷ (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1)
= $27,400
And, the book value is
= Purchase cost - depreciation expense
= $87,000 - $27,400
= $59,600
A U.S. manufacturing company operating a subsidiary in an LDC (less-developed country) shows the following results:
U.S. LDC
Sales (units) 100,000 20,000
Labor (hours) 20,000 15,000
Raw materials (currency) $20,000 FC 20,000
Capital equipment (hours) 60,000 5,000
a. Calculate partial labor and capital productivity figures for the parent and subsidiary. Do the results seem confusing?
b. Compute the multifactor productivity figures for labor and capital together. Do the results make more sense?
c. Calculate raw material productivity figures (units/$ where $1=FC 10). Explain why these figures might be greater in the subsidiary.
Answer:
a. Labor Productivity:
Country Sales (Units) Labour (hours) Productivity (Sales/Labour hours)
U.S 100,000 20,000 5 units / hours
LDC 20,000 15,000 1.33 units/ hours
Capital Productivity
Country Sales (Units) Capital (hours) Productivity (Sales/Capital hours)
U.S 100,000 60,000 1.67 units / hour
LDC 20,000 5,000 4 units / hours
Conclusion: Yes, the result seems confusing. The labour productivity in U.S. is higher than LDC while the capital productivity in U.S. is lower than LDC which is contradictory.
b. Multi-factor productivity for Labor and Capital
Country Sales Input Productivity
(Units) (Labor + Capital) (units/hours)
U.S. 100,000 80,000 1.25 units/hour
(20,000 + 60,000)
LDC 20,000 20,000 1 units/hour
(15,000 + 5,000)
Conclusion: Yes it make sense as multi-factor productivity is better than partial productivity. Labor and capital are subtitles and that gives better presentation of the productivity.
c. Raw material productivity
Country Sales Raw material Productivity
(Units) (Currency) (units/hours)
U.S. 100,000 $20,000 5 units per dollar
LDC 20,000 = $2,000 10 units per dollar
Conclusion: The figures are greater in subsidiary because the price paid for raw material is much slower than the parent country.
Note: $1 = FC 10
$20,000 = FC 10
FC = $20,000 / 10 = $2,000

Andy tells Ervin and Marina that everyone will lose their jobs if the company goes out of business, whether they have guild protection or not. Which influence tactic is Andy most likely utilizing?
consultation
rational persuasion
legitimating tactics
ingratiation
exchange
Answer: Legitimating tactics
Explanation:
Rational Persuasion has to do with when an individual is being convinced with logic, reasons or facts.
Consultation means simply getting other people to participate in making decisions and planning.
Ingratiation is when an individual tried to influence someone else by becoming likeable to the person.
Legitimating tactics occur when an individual uses his or her power to influence others. This tactic is intended to make people do something and not to motivate them.
This strategy is designed to force people to accomplish something rather than to motivate them. When a person utilizes his or her power to persuade others, this is known as legitimizing methods.
So, Option C is correct.
The other Options are incorrect as:
Option A is incorrect as Getting other people involved in decision-making and planning is what consultation entails.
Option B is incorrect as When a person is persuaded using logic, arguments, or facts, this is known as rational persuasion.
Option D is incorrect as When someone tries to influence someone else by becoming likable to them, this is known as ingratiation.
Option E is incorrect as A strategy entails making explicit or inferred commitments and exchanging favors. Tactics used by the coalition.
Thus Option C is the correct tactic andy has used.

You observe a portfolio for five years and determine that its average return is 11.3% and the standard deviation of its returns in 19.7%. Would a 30% loss next year be outside the 95% confidence interval for this portfolio?
Answer:
-28.1%
Explanation:
Calculation for what would a 30% loss next year be outside the 95% confidence interval for the portfolio
The standard deviation of 95% confident will be 2
The first step is to find the Upper tail using this formula
Upper tail= Average return percentage +(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)
Let plug in the formula
Upper tail=0.113+(2*0.197)
Upper tail =0.113+0.394
Upper tail=0.507*100
Upper tail =50.7%
Second step is to find the Lower tail using this formula
Lower tail=Average return percentage -(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)
Let plug in the formula
Upper tail=0.113-(2*0.197)
Upper tail =0.113-0.394
Upper tail=-0.281*100
Upper tail =28.1%
Based on the above calculation the lower tail was -28.1% which means that it wouldn't in any way loss more than the 30% of it value next year outside the 95% confidence interval for the portfolio
