Answer: allows a firm to reap the competitive advantage benefits of skills transfer, lower costs (due to economies of scope), cross-business use of a powerful brand name, and/or cross-business collaboration in creating stronger competitive capabilities.
Explanation:
Related diversification is when an organization expands its business by producing products which are similar to what it currently produces. In related diversification, there's identical product lines. An example is a computer manufacturer producing calculators.
Organizations that go into related diversification enjoys lower costs and competitive advantage over their counterparts.
If an investor put away $3000 at age 23 rather than age 31, how much more money would he or she have at age 63, assuming a 9 percent compound rate of return?
Answer:
FV= $94,228.26
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Present Value= $3,000
Interest rate= 9% compounded annually
Number of years= 63 - 23= 40 years
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 3,000*(1.09^40)
FV= $94,228.26
At an output level of 53,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 3.21. If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be? Suppose fixed costs are $175,000. What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units? The degree of operating leverage? that the degree of operating
Answer:
If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be?
24.23%What is the operating cash flow at 46,000 units?
$45,613.84The degree of operating leverage (at 46,000 units)?
4.84Explanation:
degree of operating leverage = [quantity x (price - variable costs)] / {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs}
degree of operating leverage x {[quantity x (price - variable costs)] - fixed costs} = [quantity x (price - variable costs)]
3.21 x {[53000 x (contribution margin)] - fixed costs} = [53000 x (contribution margin)]
(3.21 x 53000 x contribution margin) - (3.21 x 175000) = 53000 x contribution margin
let C = contribution margin
170130C - 561750 = 53000C
117130C = 561750
C = 561750 / 117130 = 4.795953
operating cash flow (at 53,000) = (53,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $79,185.52
operating cash flow (at 57,000) = (57,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $98,369.32
% change = ($98,369.32 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = 24.23%
operating cash flow (at 46,000) = (46,000 x $4.795953) - $175,000 = $45,613.84
% change in operating cash flows = ($45,613.84 - $79,185.52) / $79,185.52 = -43.4%
% change in sales = (46,000 - 53,000) / 53,000 = -13.21
degree of operating leverage = $220,613.84 / $45,613.74 = 4.84
The balance sheet of Cattleman's Steakhouse shows assets of $86,000 and liabilities of $14,400. The fair value of the assets is $89,400 and the fair value of its liabilities is $14,400. Longhorn paid Cattleman's $82,920 to acquire all of its assets and liabilities. Longhorn should record goodwill on this purchase of:
Answer:
The goodwill is $7,320
Explanation:
It is given that fair value of assets is $89,400 and fair value of liabilities is $14,400
Fair value difference = Fair value of assets - Fair value of liabilities
Fair value difference = $89,400 - $14,400
Fair value difference = $75,000
Hence, the fair value difference is $75,000
It is given that acquisition price is $82,920 and calculated fair value difference is $75,600. Calculation of goodwill is given below
Goodwill = Acquisition price - Fair value difference
Goodwill = $82,920 - $75,600
Goodwill = $7,320
Hence, the goodwill is $7,320.

Rinaldo then wants to know whether you understand the impact of errors on the trial balance. If there are errors in the accounts in the general ledger, the trial balance:
Answer: c. may or may not balance
Explanation:
Even though there are errors in the General Ledger, it is not a given that the Trial Balance will not balance. The purpose of the Trial balance is to match the debits in the company to the credits. This means that if the errors in the General Ledger were still put on the correct side then the Trial Balance would still balance.
For instance, if utility expenses were debited to Purchases in error, both accounts fall on the debit side of the Trial Balance so the Trial Balance would still balance regardless of the error.
Consider the following: Year Population (Millions) Real GDP ($ Billions) GDP Deflator 2018 121 2019 125 Calculate the percentage change in per capita real GDP between 2018 and 2019: nothing%. (Enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer: 3.59%
Explanation:
Real GDP per capita is the Real GDP divided by the population of the country.
Real GDP per Capita 2018
= 1,150,000,000/ 10,080,000
= 114.0873
= $114.0873
Real GDP per Capita 2019
= 1,430,000,000/ 12,100,000
= $118.1818
Percentage Change
= [tex]\frac{118.1818 - 114.0873}{114.0873}[/tex]
= 3.59%
The principle that each World Trade Organization member must accord to all other member countries tariff treatment no less favorable than it provides to any other country is known as the __________ principle.
Answer:
Most favoured nation principle
Explanation:
Most favoured nation (MFN) clause of the World Trade Organisation requires that when a nation trades with others the concessions, immunities, and privileges granted to one nation should be the the same granted to all WTO members.
It discourages discrimination where one nation in international trade is favoured above another.
For example if Ghana reduces tariff on trades with South Africa it is expected that tariffs to other WTO nations will also be reduced to 3%.
Exceptions to this principle are for developing nations, regional free trade areas, and custom unions.
Once a firm reaches the lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then the firm will automatically charge a lower prices for their product or service. The cost analysis model that we studied in Chapter 9 said that this is always the best strategy to effectively capture the maximum market share.
A- True
B- False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
As it is mentioned in the question that When a firm reaches a lowest point on the Long Run Average Total Cost Curve then it automatically charged a less price for the product and services they are rendering to the customer. But this lowest point deals in the only perfect competition also it would not capture the maximum market share but it would result into optimum production and goods supply at minimum price
Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Assets of $205.498 million Total Common Stock of $6.350 million Cash of $10.050 million Retained Earnings of $44.117 million. What were the Digby Corporation's total liabilities?
a) $165.081 million.
b) $144.981 million.
c) $155.031 million.
d) $161.381 million.
Answer:
The value of total liabilities is $155.031 million and option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The basic accounting equation states that the total value of assets is always equal to the sum of the total value of liabilities and the total value of equity.
Thus, we can say that,
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
The equity part can contain various components. In the given question it has two components namely Common Stock and retained earnings.
205.498 = Total Liabilities + (6.350 + 44.117)
205.498 = Total Liabilities + 50.467
205.498 - 50.467 = Total Liabilities
Total Liabilities = $155.031
A firm issues $300 million in straight bonds at an original issue discount of 0.50% and a coupon rate of 7%. The firm pays fees of 2.0% on the face value of the bonds. The net amount of funds that the debt issue will provide for the firm is closest to which of the following?
A)$248,625,000
B)$263,250,000
C)$277,875,000
D)$292,500,000
Answer: $292,500,000
Explanation:
The following information can be derived from the question:
Issued bond = $300
Issue discount = 0.50%
Coupon rate = 7%.
Fees paid = 2.0%
The net amount of funds that the debt issue will provide for the firm will be:
= Issued bond price - Discount - Fees paid
= $300m - ($300m × 0.50%) - ($300m × 2.0%)
= $300m - $1.5m - $6m
= $300m - $7.5m
= $292.5 Million
Question 2 Which of the following are wholesale and which are retail? (a)Large-scale deposits made by firms at negotiated rates of interest. .............................retail / wholesale (c)Deposits in savings accounts in high street banks. ......................................................retail / wholesale (b)Loans made by high street banks at published ratesof interest. ..................................retail / wholesale (d)Deposits in savings accounts in building societies .......................................................retail / wholesale (e)Large-scale loans to industry syndicated through several banks. ................................retail / wholesale
Answer:
Wholesale banking refers to banking services sold to large clients, such as other banks, other financial institutions, government agencies, large corporations, and real estate developers. It is the opposite of retail banking, which focuses on individual clients and small businesses. Wholesale banking services include currency conversion, working capital financing, large trade transactions, mergers and acquisitions, consultancy, and underwriting, among other services
If you were to start a business delivering documents, you might need to purchase cell phones, bicycles, desks, and chairs. a. These purchases are called capital investment. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a saver. b. These purchases are called capital investment. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a borrower. c. These purchases are called consumption. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a saver. d. These purchases are called consumption. If you raise the funds to purchase them from others you are a borrower.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Capital is what is used to start a business. It is what the owner's contribution in the business. In advanced class, it is called stock or equity. Capital is usually from the owner's savings. But if this money is borrowed either from an individual or a bank, the person is a borrower while the other party is the lender.
Option A is incorrect because money raised from someone makes the person borrowing a borrower and not a saver.
Option C and D are incorrect because the items needed for the business are not consumables, they are needed for the smooth running of the business, hence they are not consumption.
If the capital stock is fixed and something happens to raise the marginal product of capital for any given quantity of capital, then the real rental price of capital will:
Answer: B) rise
Explanation:
The real rental price of capital refers to the cost of borrowing capital which is the interest payment on the capital less the capital gains made. As a result it is equal to the marginal product of capital which shows how much extra, a unit of capital enables the entity to produce.
Therefore, if marginal product of capital rises, as is the case in the question, so will the real rental price of capital.

Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of per share and each share trades for . The growth rate in dividends is expected to be % per year. Also, Time Warner has billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of %. If the firm's tax rate is %, compute the WACC?
Complete Question:
Time Warner shares have a market capitalization of $50 billion. The company is expected to pay a dividend of $0.30 per share and each share trades for $30. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be 7% per year. Also, Time Warner has $15 billion of debt that trades with a yield to maturity of 8%. If the firm's tax rate is 30%, what is the WACC?
Answer:
7.5%
Explanation:
We can calculate WACC using the following formula:
WACC = Ke * MV of Equity / (MV of Equity + MV of Debt) + Kd * MV of Debt / (MV of Equity + MV of Debt)
Here:
Market Value of Equity is $50 billion
Market Value of Debt is $15 billion
Ke is % (Step 1)
Kd is 8%
By putting values, we have:
WACC = 8.07% * $50 Billion / ($50 Billion + $15 Billion) + 8% * $50 Billion / ($50 Billion + $15 Billion)
WACC = 7.5%
Step 1: Calculate Ke
We can calculate Ke using the following formula:
Ke = Do * (1 + g) / P + g
Here
Do is the dividend per share which is $0.3
g is the growth rate which is 7%
And
P is the market value of share which is $30 per share.
Ke = $30 * (1 + 7%) / $30 + 7% = 8.07%
A 70-year old client wants to invest in U.S. Treasury securities. When performing the suitability determination, the client informs the registered representative that he is looking for after-tax income, liquidity, and to avoid market risk. The registered representative should be LEAST concerned with the:
Answer: client's age
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a 70-year old client wants to invest in U.S. Treasury securities and that when performing the suitability determination, the client informs the registered representative that he is looking for after-tax income, liquidity, and to avoid market risk.
The client's age should be the least the registered representative should be concerned about. Rather, the representative should be concerned with the coupon of the recommended treasury securities and the tax bracket of the client for tax purposes.

"A customer invests $50,000 in a non-qualified variable annuity. Over the years, it has grown in value to $110,000. The customer’s cost basis in the annuity contract is::"
Answer:
The customer's cost basis in the annuity contract is $50,000.
Explanation:
The customer's cost basis in the annuity contract is the initial payments or premiums made in an annuity amounting to $50,000. This amount is usually taxed at the initial point. This implies that the $110,000 which the annuity has accumulated to will no longer be taxed. The customer will enjoy her lump sum and withdrawals undisturbed by the Internal Revenue Service.
As the assistant to the CFO of Johnstone Inc., you must estimate its cost of common equity. You have been provided with the following data: D 0 = $0.80; P 0 = $22.50; and g = 8.00% (constant). Based on the DCF approach, what is the cost of common from reinvested earnings?
Answer:
The cost of common equity from reinvested earnings is 11.84%
Explanation:
The constant growth model of DDM or DCF approach is used to calculate the price of a stock today whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate forever. The model values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends form the stock.
The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Where,
P0 is price todayD0 is the dividend todayr is the cost of equityg is the growth rate in dividendsPlugging in the available values for all the variables, we can calculate the r or cost of common equity to be,
22.5 = 0.8 * (1+0.08) / (r - 0.08)
22.5 * (r - 0.08) = 0.864
22.5r - 1.8 = 0.864
22.5r = 0.864 + 1.8
r = 2.664 / 22.5
r = 0.1184 or 11.84%
Bank's Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,600 $250 Securities $1,000 Capital (owners' equity) $150 Reserves$200 Deposits Loans $800 Debt Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
This would increase the reserves account and ______ the ______ account.
This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of __________ to a new value of_______
Which of the following is true of the capital requirement?
a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
b. A minimum leverage ratio for all banks.
c. Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.
Answer:
1. This would increase the reserves account and increase the debt account.
Borrowing refers to debt and so it will increase the debt account.
2. This would also bring the leverage ratio from its initial value of 13.33 to a new value of 14.
The bank leverage ratio refers to its Assets divided by Capital (Owners equity).
Before the $100 was borrowed, the leverage ratio was;
= (Reserves + loans + securities)/Capital
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000) / 150
= 13.33
After the $100 was borrowed
= ( 200 + 800 + 1,000 + 100) /150
= 14.
3. a. The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.
The capital requirement is meant to protect depositors in case the loans are defaulted on as the loans are created from the funds depositors bring in. Should the loans be defaulted on, they will be paid from the capital therefore if the bank holds more loans, it will have to hold more capital to ensure it can cover those loans.

An item described in notes to its financial statements.b. A liability that is recorded.
Answer:
Huprey Co.
Identifying the accounting treatment for each claim as either (a) a liability that is recorded or (b) an item described in notes to its financial statements:
1. Huprey (defendant) estimates that a pending lawsuit could result in damages of $1,550,000; it is unlikely that the plaintiff will win the case.a. A liability that is recorded.
b. An item described in notes to its financial statements.
2. Huprey faces a loss on a pending lawsuit that it is unlikely to lose; the amount is reasonably estimable.
a. An item described in notes to its financial statements. b. A liability that is recorded.
3. Huprey faces a probable loss on a pending lawsuit; the amount is reasonably estimable.a. An item described in notes to its financial statements.
b. A liability that is recorded.
Explanation:
Huprey Co. will recognize and record contingent liabilities in its accounts when it can be reasonably established that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The implication is that Huprey Co. must establish two things before a contingent liability is recognized and recorded. One is that the probability or the likelihood or the chance that the event will happen exists and can be estimated. With the probability estimate, it becomes possible for Huprey Co. to also estimate the amount that the happening of the event will cost it.
The McDonald's fast-food restaurant on campus sells an average of 4,000 quarter-pound hamburgers each week. Hamburger patties are resupplied twice a week, and on average the store has 350 pounds of hamburger in stock. Assume that the hamburger patties cost $1.00 a pound.
Required:
a. What is the inventory turnover for the hamburger patties?
b. On average, how many days of supply are on hand?
Answer:
a. 148.57 for the year.
b. 2.45 days
Explanation:
a. Each hamburger patties cost $1.00 a pound and 4,000 quater pounds are supplied per week. 4 quater pounds make up 1 pound so;
= 4,000/4
= 1,000 pounds are supplied per week.
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold for the year/ Average Inventory
= ( Pounds per week * cost per pound * number of weeks in year)/ Average inventory
= ( 1,000 * 1 * 52) / 350
= 148.57 for the year.
b. Average Days of Supply = Average Inventory/cost of goods sold
= 350/( 1,000 * 1 * 52)
= 0.00673 per year
To convert to days multiply by;
= 0.006730 * 52 weeks * 7 days
= 2.44972
= 2.45 days

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the debt-equity ratio
Answer:
Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%
Explanation:
The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,
ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity
or
ROE = Net Income / Total equity
Assuming that sales is $100.
Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1
Total Assets = 100 / 1.84
Total Assets = 54.35
0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity
Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162
Total Equity = 31.48
We know that Assets = Debt + Equity
So,
54.35 = Debt + 31.48
Debt = 54.35 - 31.48
Debt = 22.87
Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48
Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%
