Mathew bakes and sells apple pies. Apple here is used as an input. If the price of apple increases, it means the cost of producing apple pies is increasing as well.

Answer: Depreciation is tax deductible
Explanation:
Depreciation on assets is recognized by tax authorities as an expense that a business actually incurs so when the income statement is calculated, depreciation needs to be removed as the expense that it is so that taxes can be calculated on the profit.
Depreciation however, does not take actual cash from the company i.e the company does not actually pay anyone cash for depreciation like most other expenses. It needs therefore to be added back to the Free Cash Flow because the FCF deals with how much actual cash the company has which is something that Depreciation being a non-cash expense did not reduce.
Answer:
(a) $61.11
(b) $54.44
Explanation:
1)
Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales
= 5.5 × 1,500,000
= $8,250,000
Thus,
Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding
= 8,250,000 ÷ 135,000
= $61.11
Thus, I would pay $61.11 for the stock.
2)
Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales
= 4.9 × 1,500,000
= $7,350,000
Thus,
Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding
= $7,350,000 ÷ 135,000
= $54.44
Thus, I would pay $54.44 for the stock.
Answer:
arbitration
Explanation:
Arbitration occurs when the price of a security or a commodity varies significantly between different markets. For example, I purchase gold in the United Kingdom at a lower price than in the United States, and I bring it to the United States and make a profit. Arbitration opportunities result from market inefficiencies and a lack of a single price.
