Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: D) As stated in our contract,we are liable to pay compensation only when our personnel repair the equipment

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the best way to phrase the refusal of Marie's claim for adjustment is that "As stated in our contract, we are liable to pay compensation only when our personnel repair the equipment".

Since a service executive in the company discovers that the mower was dismantled by someone, then Marie's claim for adjustment can be refused since it wasn't dismantled by someone from the company.

For a levered firm, flotation costs should

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The answer is option B. For a levered firm, flotation costs should <u>be spread over the life of a project, thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project.</u>

Explanation:

When a company’s securities are listed on a public exchange, there is a general saying that securities are floated on the exchange. That is how the name flotation costs came about.

Flotation is actually the costs incurred by a company in issuing its securities to public. it is also called issuance costs.

Examples of Flotation costs include charges paid to the investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, registration fees of the securities regulator and the exchange on which the issue is to be listed.

Flotation cost would vary based on several factors, such as company’s size, issue size, issue type (debt vs equity),

In summary, Flotation costs are the cost a company incurs to issue new stock making new equity cost more than existing ones.

Business analysts argue that flotation costs are a one-time expense that should be adjusted out of future cash flows in order to not overstate the cost of capital forever.

It is based on this premise that i chose option B, which states that flotation costs be spread over the life of a project thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project at levered firms.

Stewart Corporation manufactures solar powered calculators. The company can manufacture 1,100,000 calculators a year at a variab

NeX [460]

Answer:

If the special offer is accepted, the net operating income will decrease in $120,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total variable cost= $2,200,000

Fixed cost= $1,100,000

Based on management’s projections for next year, 950,000 calculators will be sold at the regular price of $15.00 each. A special order has been received for 230,000 calculators to be sold at a 60% discount off the regular price.

Because the company can't provide the 950,000 units and the 230,000 special offer, the offer will cannibalize sales from the 950,00 units.

Special offer sale price= 15*0.4= $6

Unitary variable cost= 2,200,000/1,100,000= $2 per unit

<u>First, we will calculate the net income without the special offer</u>:

Sales= 950,000*15= 14,250,000

Total variable cost= 950,000*2= (1,900,000)

Contribution margin= 12,350,000

Fixed costs= (1,100,000)

Net operating income= 11,250,000

<u>With the special offer:</u>

Sales= (230,000*6) + (870,000*15)= 14,430,000

Total variable cost= (2,200,000)

Contribution margin= 12,230,000

Fixed costs= (1,100,000)

Net operating income= $11,130,000

If the special offer is accepted, the net operating income will decrease in $120,000
