The Bathtub Division of Kirk Plumbing Corporation has recently approached the Faucet Division with a proposal. The Bathtub Division would like to make a special "ivory" tub with gold-plated fixtures for the company's 50-year anniversary. It would make only 5,000 of these units. It would like the Faucet Division to make the fixtures and provide them to the Bathtub Division at a transfer price of $160. If sold externally, the estimated variable cost per unit would be $140. However, by selling internally, the Faucet Division would save $6 per unit on variable selling expenses. The Faucet Division is currently operating at full capacity. Its standard unit sells for $43 per unit and has variable costs of $25.
Required:
Compute the minimum transfer price that the Faucet Division should be willing to accept, and discuss whether it should accept this offer.
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $152
Explanation:
The minimum transfer price can be calculated by Adding variable cost and the contribution margin lost
Minimum transfer price = Variable cost + Contribution margin lost
Minimum transfer price = $134 + $18
Minimum transfer price = $152
Working
Variable cost = $140 -$6(saving) = $134
Contribution margin lost = Selling price - variable cost per unit
Contribution margin lost = $43 - $25
Contribution margin lost = $18
Decision: The offer should be accepted because the minimum transfer price of $152 is less than $160

Key facts and assumptions concerning Kroger Company, at December 12, 2007, appear below. Using this information, answer the questions following.
Facts and Assumptions
Yield to maturity on long-term government bonds 4.54%
Yield to maturity on company long-term bonds 6.32%
Coupon rate on company long-term bonds 7.50%
Market price of risk, or risk premium 6.30%
Estimated company equity beta 1.05
Stock price per share $ 25.97
Number of shares outstanding 681.2 million
Book value of equity $ 4,965 million
Book value of interest-bearing debt $ 6,674 million
Tax rate 35.0%
a. Estimate Kroger's cost of equity capital.
b. Estimate Kroger's weighted-average cost of capital. Prepare a spreadsheet or table showing the relevant variables.
Answer:
a. 11.16 %
b. 7.56 %
Explanation:
Cost of equity capital is the return that is required by Common Stockholders.
This can be determined as follows :
1. Growth Model
Cost of equity = Recent dividend / Market Price of Share + Expected Growth Rate
or
2. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Cost of equity = Return on Risk Free Security + Beta × Return on Market Portfolio Security
= 4.54% + 1.05 × 6.30%
= 11.16 %
WACC = Ke × (E/V) + Kd × (D/V) +Kp × (P/V)
Explanation and value of Variables
Ke = Cost of Equity
= 11.16 %
E/V = Weight of Equity
= $ 4,965 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)
= 42.66 %
Kd = Cost of Debt :
= Interest × (1 - tax rate)
= 7.50% × ( 1 - 0.35)
= 4.875 or 4.88 %
D/V = Weight of Debt
= $ 6,674 ÷ ( $ 4,965 + $ 6,674)
= 57.34 %
Therefore,
WACC = 11.16 % × 42.66 % + 4.88 % × 57.34 %
= 7.56 %

The cash flows associated with each expansion site are summarized below. The expansion is planned for 5 years, and the interest rate is 12% per year. Use the B/C method to determine which site, if any, is the most acceptable. The monetary unit is $ million.
Site A B C
Initial cost, $ 55 70 200
M&O Cost, $/year 3 4 6
Benefits, $/year 20 29 55
Disbenefits, $/year 0.5 2 2.1
A. Site A
B. Site C
C. Site B
D. None
Answer:
C. Site B
Explanation:
A benefit-cost (B/C) method is a decision making techi=niques that uses benefit-cost ratio (BCR) to give a summary of overall relationship between the relative benefits and costs and a project being proposed.
To calculated the present values (PV) of Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Cost, Benefits and Disbenefits, we use cumulative discounting factor (CDF) for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:
CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^5} / 0.12] = 3.60
We can now calculate the B?C of each Site as follows as follows:
a. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site A
Initial cost = $55
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $3 * 3.60 = $10.80
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$20 * 3.60 = $72.00
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $0.5 * 3.60 = $1.80
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $55 + $10.80 + $1.80 = $67.60
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $72.00 / $67.60 = 1.07
b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B
Initial cost = $70
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $4 * 3.60 = $14.40
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$29 * 3.60 = $104.40
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2 * 3.60 = $7.20
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $70 + $14.40 + $7.20 = $91.60
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $104.40 / $91.60 = 1.14
b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B
Initial cost = $200
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $6 * 3.60 = $21.60
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$55 * 3.60 = $198.00
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2.1 * 3.60 = $7.56
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $200 + $21.60 + $7.56 = $229.16
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $198.00 / $229.16 = 0.86
Conclusion
1. Since the B/C ratio of only Site A and Site B are greater than 1, both are acceptable.
2. But since Site B's B/C ratio of 1.14 is greater Site A's B/C ratio of 1.07, Site B is the most acceptable. Therefore, the correct option is C. Site B.
n the process of performance appraisal, _____ occurs when assessors rate all workers as average. a. halo error b. central tendency error c. similar-to-me error d. leniency error
Answer:
b. central tendency error
Explanation:
Central tendency error is the error in which the rater propensity could place the most items on the middle side of the rating scale. In this the employer puts the employees based on the performance i.e it varies from 4 to 7, 8 to 10, 1 to 3, etc
Therefore in the given situation, when the rate of assessors determined the rate for all workers as an average so the central tendency occurs
Hence, the correct option is b.
The goal of the __________ is to resolve any pending project-related issues, critique the overall effort of the project, and draw conclusions about how to improve the project management process for the future.
Answer: wrap-up

Doing this ensures that all stakeholders of the project are satisfied, and that all acceptance criteria for the project have been met. The wrap-up is simply the concluding action of the project.
Byrd Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Byrd uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 135,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $877,500 comprised of $337,500 of variable costs and $540,000 of fixed costs. Byrd applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours.
During the current year, Byrd produced 78,100 putters, worked 87,600 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $152,295 and fixed overhead costs of $452,650.
Required:
Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hours= 135,000
Estimated varaible overhead= $337,500
Estimated fixed overhead= $540,000
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Variable:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 337,500/135,000= $2.5 per direct labor hour
Fixed:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 540,000/135,000= $4 per direct labor hour

ignoring taxes what is the effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executives
Answer: C. $40 million.
Explanation:
By granting them 15 million shares subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years, the company is compensating them.
The total amount that they will be compensated with has to be apportioned over the 3 years as an expense that will reduce earnings per year.
Total compensation = No. of shares * fair value of shares
= 15,000,000 * 8
= $120,000,000
Apportioned over 3 years;
= 120,000,000/3
= $40,000,000
If an investor's aversion to risk increased, would the risk premium on a high beta stock increase by more or less than that of a low-beta stock? Explain.
Answer:
risk premium increases by more of the low - beta stock
A risk averse investor is an investor that avoids risk. if risk aversion increases, it means that the investor is more wary of risky investment.
Beta measures the volatility of a portfolio. the higher the volatility, the more risky the portfolio is.
risk premium measures the rate of return in excess of the risk free rate.
According to CAPM :
risk free rate + (beta x stock risk premium)
Beta is a multiplier of stock risk premium, so the higher the beta, the more there would be an increase in the stock risk premium
If a risk averse investor invests in a high beta stock, he would want extra or higher compensation for holding such a volatile stock. this extra compensation would be in the form of a higher risk premium.
Explanation:
The infant industry argument says that Question 7 options: tariffs should be imposed to allow a new industry in a country to get established. imports should target new products from other countries to take advantage of the transmission of new ideas. dumping should be allowed in order to establish a presence of an industry that has previously not had a presence in another country. countries should produce and trade goods according to their comparative advantage.
Answer:
The infant industry argument says that Question 7 options:
tariffs should be imposed to allow a new industry in a country to get established.
Explanation:
The argument for the infant industry protectionism suggests that the imposition of tariffs on imports gives a new industry in the country the required breathing space it requires to develop, grow, and be established before it can face competitive forces from outside, which imports imply. Since newly formed industries often do not command the economies of scale and learning experience that their competitors from other countries may have, therefore, they need to be singularly shaded from external competition until they have achieved similar economies of scale and learning curve. But, can they attain any competitive edge without learning from competitors?

The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
Full question reads;
The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
a. frequency
b. consumption
c. pressures
d. rules
Answer:
a. frequency
Explanation:
Indeed, no particular human project can last forever, so there is a need to ascertain the frequency of a project, detailing how often the project would be repeated so as to also determine what the project's lifespan will be.
For example, a road construction project may take into account how often the road would be used, which provides insight into the frequency of road repairs and the overall lifetime of the car.
The issue of _____ concerns how often a particular project will be repeated and what its lifespan will be.
Which of these does NOT describe a friction that might prevent firms from choosing the optimal level of capital? A. Making too big of a change can be more expensive than making a few smaller changes. B. A firm might not be able to borrow enough to pay for the investments it wants to make. C. The firm likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery. D. Some capital is very specialized and cannot be re-sold in cases of economic downturns.
Answer:
C. The firm likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery.
Explanation:
Optimal level of capital simply refers to an ideal strategy used by a firm to raise capital. For example, a firm may decide between debt financing or equity financing, depending on the company's desired level of capital.
So, an already operational firm with that likes its workers and doesn’t want to replace some jobs with machinery has no direct relationship with its level of capital.

Steady Company's stock has a beta of . If the risk-free rate is and the market risk premium is , what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?
The question is incomplete as it misses the figures. The following is the complete question.
Steady Company's stock has a beta of 0.21. If the risk-free rate is 6.2% and the market risk premium is 6.9%, what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?
Answer:
The cost of equity is 0.07649 or 7.649%
Explanation:
The required rate of return or cost of equity capital is the rate required by the investors to invest in a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as measure by the beta. The required rate of return or cost of equity can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
rRf is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on marketr = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069
r = 0.07649 or 7.649%

Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in Units
April 54,000
May 75,000
June 94,000
July 82,000
Desired ending inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.
To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
April:
Sales= 54,000
Ending inventory= 75,000*0.2= 15,000
Beginning inventory= (10,800)
Total= 58,200 units
May:
Sales= 75,000
Ending inventory= 94,000*0.2= 18,800
Beginning inventory= (15,000)
Total= 78,800 units
June:
Sales= 94,000
Ending inventory= 82,000*0.2= 16,400
Beginning inventory= (18,800)
Total= 91,600 units
Total for the quarter= 228,600 units
In the above case, Sales in Units in the month of April is 54,000, in the month of May is 75,000, in the month of June is 94,000 and in the month of July is 82,000.
What is sales?A sale is defined as a transaction between the parties in which the purchaser acquires goods, services, or assets in return for money. In some cases, other assets are pay off to a seller.
Computation of production:
According to the available information,
Desirable closing inventory= 20% of the following month’s sales.
The inventory at the end of March was 10,800 units.
To calculate the production in each month, the formula is:
[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}[/tex]
Production in the month of April:
According to the given information,
Sales= 54,000
Ending inventory:
[tex]=75,000\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\= 15,000[/tex]
Beginning inventory= 10,800
Now, apply the given values in the above formula:
[tex]\text{Production= Sales + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory}\\\\\text{Production} =54,000+15,000-10,800\\\\\text{Production}=58,200\text{Units}[/tex]
Production in the month of May:
Sales= 75,000
Ending inventory:

Conor Airlines Inc. recently issued $50 par value preferred stock that pays a 8.25% dividend rate per year. Yahoo.finance shows that the stock has a beta of 0.97. The current risk-free rate is 2.50% and the market return is 11%. Assuming that CAPM holds, what is the intrinsic value of this preferred stock?
Answer: $38.39
Explanation:
First calculate the required return according to CAPM;
Required return = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate)
= 2.50% + 0.97 ( 11% - 2.50%)
= 10.745%
Then using the Dividend discount model and remembering that there is no growth rate;
Value = Next dividend / ( required return - growth rate)
= (50 * 8.25%) / ( 10.745% - 0)
= 4.125/10.745%
= $38.39
Answer:
$38.29
Explanation:
Ke = Rf+Beta*(Rm-Rf)
Ke=0.0250+0.97*(0.11+0.0250)
Ke=0.10745
Ke=10.75 appr.
Po= Dividend / (Ke-g)
Po= 50*0.0825 / (0.10745 - 0)
Po=4.125/0.10745
Po=38.3899
Po=38.29
Thus, the intrinsiv value of this preferred stock is $38.29

A. Exporting
B. Contractual agreements
C. Strategic alliances/joint ventures
D. Direct investment
Answer: Strategic alliances/joint ventures
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that by 2002, Fisher's strategic initiatives in China had yielded significant results and that they had 63% of the retail film market and 7,000 stores.
The method used for their success was the strategic alliances or joint venture whereby two or more business or individuals come together and utilize the resources available to carry out a particular objective.
A project has an initial cost of $18,400 and produces cash inflows of $7,200, $8,900, and $7,500 over three years, respectively. What is the discounted payback period if the required rate of return is 16 percent
Answer:
Never. the amount invested is never recovered
Explanation:
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
Discounted cash flow in year 1 = 7200 / 1.16 = $6206.90
Discounted cash flow in year 2 = $8,900 / 1.16² = $6614.15
Discounted cash flow in year 3 = $7,500 / 1.16³ = $4804.93
Adding the discounted cash flows together gives a value of $17,625.98. This value is less than the cost of the project. So, the amount invested is never recovered
Expected return and standard deviation. Use the following information to answer the questions: LOADING.... a. What is the expected return of each asset? b. What is the variance of each asset? c. What is the standard deviation of each asset? Hint: Make sure to round all intermediate calculations to at least seven (7) decimal places. The input instructions, phrases in parenthesis after each answer box, only apply for the answers you will type. a. What is the expected return of asset A?
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of expected return of each assets is shown below:-
Expected Return on Asset A in state is
= 0.39 × 0.02 + 0.45 × 0.02 + 0.16 × 0.02
= 0.02
Expected Return on Asset B in state is
= 0.39 × 0.25 + 0.45 × 0.06 + 0.16 × -0.04
= 0.1181
Expected Return on Asset C in state is
= 0.39 × 0.35 + 0.45 × 0.19 + 0.16 × -0.22
= 0.1868
b. The computation of variance of each asset is shown below:-
Variance of Assets A is
= 0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2
= 0
Variance of Assets B is
= 0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2
= 0.0123
Variance of Assets C is
= 0.39 × (0.35 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.45 × (0.19 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.22 - 0.1868)^2
= 0.0369
c. The computation of standard deviation of each asset is shown below:-
Standard Deviation of A is
= (0.39 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.45 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2 + 0.16 × (0.02 - 0.020)^2)^0.5
= 0
Standard Deviation of B is
= (0.39 × (0.25 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.45 × (0.06 - 0.1181)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.04 - 0.1181)^2)^0.5
= 0.1109
Standard Deviation of C is
= (0.39 × (0.35 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.45 × (0.19 - 0.1868)^2 + 0.16 × (-0.22 - 0.1868)^2)^0.5
= 0.1920
the for-profit unionized industries will be less productive. all taxpayers are better off. the union is economically harmful. the for-profit unionized industries will be harmed.
Answer: All taxpayers are better off.
Explanation:
In 2019, 23% of the Federal budget of $4.4 trillion was spent on Social Security which provided retirement benefits for about 45 million retired people. Most of this money came from Federal Revenues which are financed by Tax collections.
If the Unions helped more people secure pension benefits so that when they retire the Federal Government would not have to spend so much taking care of them, it can be argued that the amount of taxes paid by people would be less so all taxpayers would be better off.
