When you seek to define an issue, you should try to frame it in positive terms.
aev [14]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The problem-solving process can be defined as the systematic approach used to identify and determine the solution to a particular problem.

The steps involved in the problem-solving process are;

1. Identify and define the problem: this is the first step to be taken in solving a problem. This is to ensure that, the focus is on the main issue or situation (goal) and all efforts is channeled in the right direction rather than the symptoms.

2. Gathering of information: this helps to consider the options available in solving a problem effectively.

3. Consider your options: this helps to compare the available and viable solutions to the problem.

4. Weigh disadvantages and evaluate a solution: you weigh the disadvantages of each solution, before choosing the one with the least disadvantages.

In the problem-solving process used for making decisions, you should try to frame any issue (problem) in positive terms when you seek to define it because that would help you to quickly proffer solutions and think in the right direction.

In supermarket retailing, _____ percent of endcaps should be unadvertised "sale" items that will cause the customer to be alert
Darya [45]

In supermarket retailing, 25 percent of end caps should be unadvertised "sale" items that will cause the customer to be alert when looking at an end caps while travelling through the store.

Explanation:

"Unadvertised" means that only clients who are shopping in this store are advertised.

For example is an item that was marked down in between printings for the weekly store sales flyers.

So the deal may not have made the flyer, but you will see the shelf label that marks the item as discounted once it is in the store.

Unadvertised retail prices play a competitive role. For this model, we produce a balance of rational prospects in which each store randomly announces the cost of one product in accordance with a blended approach.

The A. J. Croft Company (AJC) currently has $200,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coup
o-na [289]

Answer:

  1. current market value = $800000, WACC = 7.5%
  2. new WACC = 7.38%, Total value of firm = $ 813,008.13
  3. stock price per share = $62.00
  4. 4750 shares

Explanation:

1) Calculate AJC's current total market value and weighted average cost of capital

current market value = value of equity + value of debt

                      =  ( 10000 * $60 ) + $200000

                      =  $800000

Weighted average cost of capital = ( weight of equity * cost of equity ) + ( weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate )

= (75% * 8.8% ) + (25% * 6% * 0.6  ) = 7.5%

2) what would be AJC's new WACC and total value

WACC =  ( weight of equity * cost of equity ) + ( weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate )

= ( 60% * 9.5% ) + ( 40% * 7% * 0.6 )  = 7.38%

Total value of the firm =

= ( Cash flow after tax / WACC )

= (( 100000 * ( 1-40%)) / 7.38%

= 100000 * 0.6 / 7.38%   = $ 813,008.13

3) Calculate the new stock price per share

new stock price = ( value of equity + change in debt ) /  original number of outstanding shares

value of equity = weight of equity * firm value

change in debt =( weight of debt * firm value ) - initial debt value

Hence new stock price =

( 50% *$820000) + (( 50% * $820000)- $200000)) / 10000

= $62.00

4) calculate how many shares AJC  would repurchase in the recapitalization

= original shares - Remaining shares

= 10000 - 5250 = 4750 shares

while ;

Remaining shares = value of equity / stock price = $336000 / $64 = 5250

original shares = 10000

Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 3% and the expected rate of return on the market is 15%. A share of stock sells fo
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

CAPM= RF+ B(RM-RF)= Required return

3+1.1(12)=16.2% is the required return according to the CAPM method

The stock is expected to return 16.2% in the form of price appreciation and dividends. In this case the dividends are expected to be 2$ and 2/69=2.89 %.

So we know that out of the 16.2 % expected return 2.89% will come from dividends and the rest by increase in stocks price, so in order to find the increase in stocks price we subtract 2.89% from 16.2% and we get 13.31%.

So the stocks price is expected to increase by 13.31%

1.1331*69= 78.18

The investors expected the stocks price to be $78.18 at the end of the year

malfutka [58]

Answer:

$9,400

Explanation:

The computation of deductible expenses is shown below:-

Airfare = $400

Lodging = $300 × 5

= $1,500

Meals = $150 × 5

= $7,500

Total deduction = Airfare + Lodging + Meals

= $400 + $1,500 + $7,500

= $9,400

Therefore for computing the total deduction we simply add airfare, lodging and meals and hence the total deduction is $9,400
