Answer:
C) Goods-producing firms focus on the flow of people, information, and services.
Explanation:
Goods-producing firms not necessarily needs to focus on the flow of people, information, and services, what is true is that firms use physical inventory because it's necessary to have available products to sale.
The facilities must be located close to raw material, suppliers, and labores if not the company will see the cost of sale increased by logistic costs.
Also it's important to have employees with strong technical and production skills so the company can get well products at the production line.
Answer:
The amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31 was $ 38.34 million
Explanation:
According to the given data, we have the following:
Beginning PBO= $29.4 million
Service cost= $9.4 million
The actuary's discount rate was 10%, hence Interest cost (10% x $29.4 million)= $2.94 million
Also, there is a Loss (gain) on PBO=$0
, and pension benefits paid by the trustee were $3.4 million.
Therefore, to calculate the amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31 we would have to use the following formula:
Ending PBO=Beginning PBO+Service cost+Interest cost-pension benefits
=$29.4 million+$9.4 million+$2.94-$3.4 million
=$38.34 million
Answer:
<u><em>Part 1. </em></u>
- <em>Average cost per day of a three-day pass</em> = $53.33/day per person
- <em>Marginal cost of adding the third day </em>= $190 - $160 = $30 per person
<em />
<em><u>Part 2.</u></em>
- <em>Group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em> = $180
Explanation:
The total <em>cost</em> is the <em>admission charge</em> ($60) plust the cost of the pass ($100 or $130).
For a <em>two-day pass</em> that is: $60 + $100 = $160, per person
For a <em>three-day pass</em> that is: $60 + $130 = $190, per person
<u><em>Part 1. The average cost per day of a three-day pass per person. </em></u>
The <em>average cost</em> is the total cost divided by the number of days.
- <em>Average cost</em> = $160/3days = $53.33/day per person
The <em>marginal cost of adding the third day</em> per person is found by subtracting the total cost for two days from the total cost for three days:
- <em>Marginal cost of adding the third day</em> = $190 - $160 = $30 per person
This says that althoud the average cost for the three days is $53.33 the cost of adding the third day is $30, which is much lower; thus, it is a good deal to buy a three-days pass, as they are interested in spending a lot of time there.
<u><em>Part 2. The group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em></u>
<em></em>
Since the <em>marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em> is $30 per person, the marginal cost for the 6-person group is 6 times $30:
- 6 persons × $30/person = $180.
Answer:
10.5%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
where,
Risk free rate of return = 7%
Market rate of return = 14%
And, the beta is 0.5
So the expected return is
= 7% + 0.5 × (14% - 7%)
= 7% + 0.5 × 7%
= 7% + 3.5%
= 10.5%
Answer:
$481,000
Explanation:
Bond issue costs are either direct or indirect costs:
- direct costs include underwriting fees, listing fees, professional fees, compliance costs and other costs related to the IPO or APO (secondary issues), e.g printing costs
- indirect costs include underpricing costs (IPO pricing is too low) and loss of proprietary information
Total bond issue costs = $22,000 + $170,000 + $9,000 + $280,000 = $481,000
