Answer:
All the above options are correct.
Explanation:
Value chain match-ups give rise to competitive advantage if it allows sister companies to leverage economies of scale by sharing production resources to the end that costs are significantly reduced, skills and technology are transferred and information grows within the system.
If any sub-business within a diversified group is taking more resources than it is contributing, it should be evaluated for possible course correction, "tune-ups" and or turn around interventions.
When there is a poor match between the parent company and the newly acquired company, there is often the need to re-evaluate the decision. If it is possible to effect a turnaround, at the least cost possible, the parent company would most likely do that otherwise, it "disconnects the umbilical cord".
Finance is a critical factor with maintaining a diverse array of businesses. Ideally, each business should be responsible for it's financial health. However the collective financial health of each sub-business is also reflective of the ability to monitor the progress of each subsidiary an make good business calls.

Its cost of equity is 17 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 6.5 percent, and the pre-tax cost of debt is 8.3 percent. What is the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 33 percent?
Answer:
the weighted average cost of capital is 10.29%
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average cost of capital is shown below;
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= 0.55 × 8.3% × (1 - 0.33) + (0.04 × 6.5%) + (0.41 × 17%)
= 3.058% + 0.26% + 6.97%
= 10.29%
Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 10.29%

You are CEO of Eastco, and you recently paid $58,000 or about 2x revenue (well under industry average) to purchase Westco, which makes a product nearly identical to yours. This move will allow you to operate in both regions (East and West) of the country.
If you combine the markets, the total Fixed Cost would be $11,000 per month, and your larger purchase size will allow you to advantageous terms for your raw materials, meaning VC will be $4 per unit.
Demand and MR in the combined market is as follows: Qd = 600 - 6P
MR = 100 - 0.333Q
a) Compute your profit in the combined market.
Additional analysis shows that demand and fixed costs are different in the 2 regions.
The West has the following demand and MR:
Qd = 300 - 4P
MR = 75 - 0.5Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the West are $5000/month. While the East is a less price sensitive market:
Qd = 300 - 2P
MR = 150 - Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the East are $6000/month.
The area manager from the East suggests you use a strategy that charges each market a separate price. If you operate in separate markets, the VC associated with each unit is $5.
b) Calculate your profits using this strategy. What is this strategy called?
c) What strategy do you suggest in the Long Run?

1. Compute Vultures current ratio. Round to two decimal places.
2. Compute Vultures debt ratio. Round to two decimal places.
Do these ratio values look strong, weak, ormiddle-of-the-road?
Answer:
1. 1.35
2. 0.62
Explanation:
1. Current ratio is Total current assets / Total current liabilities
= $71,700 / $53,000
= 1.35
2. Debt ratio is Total liabilities / Total assets
= $65,500 / $105,700
= 0.62
The above ratios are neither weak nor strong. They are middle-of-the-road values.

1. Stock Values. Integrated Potato Chips paid a $2 per share dividend yesterday. You expect the dividend to grow steadily at a rate of 4 percent per year. a. What is the expected dividend in each of the next 3 years? b. If the discount rate for the stock is 12 percent, at what price will the stock sell? c. What is the expected stock price 3 years from now? d. If you buy the stock and plan to hold it for 3 years, what payments will you receive? What is the present value of those payments? Compare your answer to (b).
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of each point is shown below:-
a. Expected dividend in each of the next 3 years is
Dividend in year 1 = Current Dividend × (1 + growth rate)
= 2 × (1 + 0.04)
= 2.08
Dividend in year 2 = Dividend in year 1 × (1 + growth rate)
= 2.08 × (1 + 0.04)
= 2.1632
Dividend in year 3 = Dividend in year 2 × (1 + growth rate)
= 2.1632 × (1 + 0.04)
= 2.249728
b Price the stock will sell
Current Price = Dividend in year 1 ÷ (Discount rate - growth rate)
= 2.08 ÷ (0.12 - 0.04)
= 26
c. Expected Price 3 years from now is
Price in Year 3 = Dividend in year 4 ÷ (Discount rate - growth rate)
= [2 × (1 + 0.04)^4] ÷ (0.12 - 0.04)
= 2.33971712 ÷ 0.08
= 29.246464
d. The present value of payments received is
Year Dividend ÷ Price PVF at 12% Present Value of Dividend ÷ Price
0 2 1
1 Dividend 2.08 0.892857143 1.857142857
2 Dividend 2.1632 0.797193878 1.724489796

What needs would you strive to satisfy on the job? Why? What role would your manager play in helping you satisfy these needs?
Answer:
Please see explanations below
Explanation:
Need is what one requires or basic necessity that bring survival.
According to Abraham Maslow, there are five basic needs of human beings which are arranged according to how they are valued. They are physiological, security, social, esteem and self actualization.
The needs I would strive to satisfy on the job are security, physiological and social needs. This is because once my job is safe, then my survival is fine because my job is what provides money for me to fend for myself. Another need is physiological need such as having time to rest, have clothing, food and shelter etc. If I have job security, then my physiological needs will be met while I should be able to interact or have relationship with people within my immediate environment ; which is my social need.
Before a manager could play any role in helping me satisfying these needs, the manager must first identify what my needs on the job are, after which he can motivate me so that I can perform at a higher level. Also, for optimal performance, my manager must be able to align my interest, including my team member's interest to that of the organization.
What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 134 shares of Stock A that sell for $44 per share and 114 shares of Stock B that sell for $34 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:portfolio weights -A=0.6034; B=0.3966
Explanation:
Total value of stock A = no. of shares * market value per share
= 134 x $44= $5,896
Total value of stock B = 114 x $34 = $3,876
Weight of stock A = Total value of stock A / ( Total value of stock A+Total M value of stock B)
= 5,896/ (5896+3,876 )
= 5,896/9,772
= 0.6034
Weight of stock B =Total value of stock B / ( Total value of stock A+Total value of stock B) OR 1 - Weight of stock A
=3,876 / (5896+3,876 )
=3,876 //9,772
= 0.3966
OR 1-0.6034 =0.3966
TRV is expecting to purchase a new manufacturing line. It is expected to cost 119,000 and will require an additional 12,000 to set-up. It will generate $25,000 annually for the next 5 years. What is the modified internal rate of return if the cost of capital is 12% and the expected rate on reinvestments is equal to 8%?
Answer:
2.28%
Explanation: Given the following :
Expected cost = 119,000
Additional cost = 12,000
Cash Inflow = $25,000
Number of years = 5 years
Cost of capital = 12%
Reinvestment rate = 8%
The Modified Internal rate of return is used to evaluate the yield on an investment over a certain period of time. The Modified Internal rate of return is similar to the internal rate of return, however, the difference between the lies in the fact that MIRR takes into account that profit accrued each year is reinvested at a steady rate called the Reinvestment rate.
MIRR can be calculated using excel or the online calculators by taking into account the value range, the financing rate and the Reinvestment rate.
Using the Omni MIRR calculator :
Cash inflow of 25,000 over 5 years
Reinvestment rate of 8%
Financing rate of 12%
Total initial investment of (119,000 + 12000) = 131,000
MIRR value = 2.28%

a. Scenario building
b. Stakeholder mapping
c. Trend analysis
d. Contingency planning
Answer:
b. Stakeholder mappingd. Contingency planningc. Trend analysisExplanation:
1. Stakeholder mapping refers to looking into the the parties that have an interest in a project whether internally or externally. The narrator speaks of how their actions will affect local neighborhoods thereby acknowledging the people in the neighborhood as stakeholders whose interests they need to be mindful of.
2. Contingency planning refers to making alternative plans in case one fails. This is what the narrator alludes to in the text by posing solutions to the tightening or loosening of banking regulations.
3. Trend analysis is used to measure the change in variables overtime. The narrator here speaks on how the amount of money in the bank has increased by 3% every year since 2008 which means they are comparing variables overtime.
Assume the total cost of a college education will be $200,000 when your child enters college in 16 years. You presently have $67,000 to invest. What annual rate of interest must you earn on your investment to cover the cost of your child’s college education?

What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale
Answer:
Economies of scale: occur when total costs for the firm go down as the firm increases output. This is why in some industries, large firms are more profitable that small firms.
Constant returns to scale: the property that occurs when increasings in factors or production (labor, capital) lead to the same increase the amount of goods or services produced.
Diseconomies of scale: this is the opposite to economies of scale. Occurs when firms experience higher costs due to larger production. They mostly occur due to coordination issues that arise when firms become to large to manage well.
Dean brings up the ambiguity branch managers at First National Bank face. He believes senior leadership needs to make the managers' most important priorities clear. This thinking most closely resembles which principles?
Answer:
Functional Principles
Explanation:
When it comes to proper organization in businesses, there are several principles that should be adhered to in order to achieve proper functioning. The functional principle indicates that the roles of every person in a department, be it managers or subordinates, must be properly explained to them in order to achieve smooth operations in the business.
When roles and responsibilities are properly explained, each person becomes aware of the expectations from him at every point in time. This in turn allows for efficiency in the discharge of duties. So, when Dean explains that the role of the manager should be properly explained, he is making reference to the functional principle.

The Herfindahl index and the concentration ratio fail to give a complete picture of an economy's competitiveness because:
Answer:
many corporations are conglomerates, spanning a variety of different industries.
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
they measure each firm's share of sales rather than each firm's share of profits.
many corporations are conglomerates, spanning a variety of different industries.
they don't account for mergers within an industry.
they are based on market share, not market size.
The Herfindahl index and the concentration ratio are measures used to determine the concentration ratios of firms in an industry
The of concentration ratio is calculated by adding the market shares of firms in the industry. e.g. the four firm concentration ratio calculates the concentration ratio of the 4 largest firms in an industry by adding their market shares together
The HHI is calculated by squaring the market share of each firm in the industry.
Because these measures only measure the concentration of firms in a particular industry, they do not account for conglomerates that exist in different industries

Ford Motor Company had realized returns of 5%, 15%, −15%, and −5% over four quarters. What is the quarterly standard deviation of returns for Ford?
a. 32.86%.
b. 24.65%.
c. 30.12%.
d. 27.39%.
Answer: 12.91%
Explanation:
The mean is;
= (5% + 15% - 15% - 5%)/4
= 0
Standard deviation = √((∑(Return-mean)^2)/[time period-1])
= (√((5-0)^2 + (15-0)^2 + (-15-0)^2 + (-5-0)^2)/ (4 -1))
= √((25% + 225% + 225% + 25% ) / 3 )
= √(500/3)
= 12.91%

Lee Industry sales are $525,000, variable costs are 53% of sales, and operating income is $19,000. What is the contribution margin ratio?
Answer:
47%
Explanation:
Lee industry have a sale of $525,000
Variable cost is 53% of sales
= 53/100 × $525,000
= 0.53×$525,000
= $278,250
The operating income is $19,000
The first step is to calculate the contribution margin
Contribution margin= sales-variable cost
= $525,000-$278,250
= $246,750
Therefore the contribution margin ratio can be calculated as follows
= contribution margin/sales
= $246,750/$525,000
= 0.47 × 100
= 47%
Hence the contribution margin ratio is 47%
Outstanding debt of Home Depot trades with a yield to maturity of %. The tax rate of Home Depot is . What is the effective cost of debt of Home Depot?
Answer:
5.6%
Explanation:
A lot of information is missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
"Outstanding debt of Home Depot trades with a yield to maturity of 8%.
The tax rate of Home Depot is 30%.
What is the effective cost of debt of Home Depot?"
the effective cost of debt or after tax cost of debt = debt's yield to maturity x (1 - tax rate) = 8% x (1 - 30%) = 8% x 0.7 = 5.6%
Interest is tax deductible, therefore, it creates a tax shield that lowers net interest expense.
Suppose a -year, bond with annual coupons has a price of and a yield to maturity of . What is the bond's coupon rate? The coupon rate is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places.)
Complete Question:
Suppose a five-year, $1000 bond with annual coupons has a price of $903.35 and a yield to maturity of 5.6%. What is the bond's coupon rate?
Answer:
3.396% Approximately
Explanation:
We can calculate the coupon interest by using the formula given in the attachment.
Now, here we have:
F is the Face value which is $1000
P is the price of the bond which in this case is $903.35
C is the Coupon interest
n are the number of years which is 5 years in this case
Yield to Maturity is 5.6%
By putting the values in the given equation we have:
5.6% = [C + ($1000 - $903.35)/5 years] / [($1000 + $903.35)/2]
5.6% = [C + 19.33] / [951.675]
0.056 * 951.675 = C + 19.33
53.2938 = C + 19.33
C = 53.2938 - 19.33
C = $33.96 approximate estimate.
Now we will find the coupon rate by using the following formula:
Coupon Rate = Coupon Interest / Face Value
By putting values, we have:
Coupon Rate = $33.96 / $1000 = 3.396% Approximately.
Accurate Coupon interest can be calculated using excel. The above answer gives minor difference in decimal points.
The bond coupon rate when all things are given so it should be closest to the 3.396%.
Calculation of the bond coupon rate:Since
F is the Face value = $1000
P is the price of the bond = $903.35
C is the Coupon interest
n are the number of years = 5 years
Yield to Maturity = 5.6%
Now
5.6% = [C + ($1000 - $903.35)/5 years] / [($1000 + $903.35)/2]
5.6% = [C + 19.33] / [951.675]
0.056 * 951.675 = C + 19.33
53.2938 = C + 19.33
C = 53.2938 - 19.33
C = $33.96
Now the coupon rate is
Coupon Rate = Coupon Interest / Face Value
Coupon Rate
= $33.96 / $1000
= 3.396%
