Answer:
Explanation:
What is given:
The price of a new fabricating machine - 60
The price of a one-year-old machine - 51
The real interest rate is 10% per year
Marginal product of fabricating machines 165-2K (K - desired number machines)
If calculate the depreciation, (60-51)/51 = 15%
a) Find user cost of capital
User cost of capital is the sum of interest rate and depreciation cost multiplied by the price of new machine
= 60*(0.10+0.15) = 15 units
b) Determine the number of machines that will allow Missing Link to maximize its profit
165-2K=15
2K = 150
K = 75 machines
c)
Suppose that Missing Link must pay a tax equal to 40% of its gross revenue. What is the optimal number of machines for the company?
165-2K = 15/(1-0.4)
165-2K=14/0.6
165-2K=25
2K=140
K=70 macines
Answer:
Behavior
Explanation:
The era has been changed most of the customer is shopping online and if they are found defective in the product, the customer always dials a customer care number by resolving their problem.
For example a customer buys a laptop online and after a few days, customers found hanging issues. Customers will dial a customer care number of that particular brand and get helped from them.
Why the customer is found helped? The simple reason that the executive who represents the brand learns lessons and get trained for behavior and the knowledge of that product from the company. The customer looks behavior of the executive and from this, the customer builds a relationship with a brand.
On the other hand, the calls are being monitored for quality and training purposes.
Answer:
<em>$0.48 per client-visit; $22,856 per month</em>
Explanation:
Where,
y2 is the total cost at highest level of activity; y1 is the total cost at lowest level of activity; x2 are the number of units/labor hours etc. at highest level of activity; and x1 are the number of units/labor hours etc. at lowest level of activity
<em>Variable Cost per Unit </em>
= (28,904 -28,227) / (12,600-11,199)
= $0.48
<em>
Total Fixed Cost </em>
= y2 ? bx2
= 28,904 - $0.48 * 12600
= $22,856.00
Answer:
The value of the stock today is $20
Explanation:
Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.
The equation for CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the risk premium on market
- Beta * rpM is the risk premium on stock
r = 0.05 + 0.04
r = 0.09 or 9%
The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,
P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 1.8 / 0.09
P0 = $20
