Tried and True’s accountant suggests that monthly rent and hourly wage rate also be factored into the productivity calculations.

Annandale pays the highest average wage at $10 an hour. Blacksburg pays $7.25 an hour, Charlottesville $8, and Danville $7.50. The cost to rent store space is $2800 a month in Annandale, $1200 a month in Blacksburg, $2000 a month in Charlottesville, and $800 a month in Danville.
a. Which store is most productive?
b. Tried and True is not sure it can keep all four stores open. Based on multifactor productivity, which store would you close? What other factors should be considered?

Answer:

a. Blacksburg

b. Blacksburg

Explanation:

a. Productivity is measured by how much output is derived per input.

= Output/Input

= Sales Volume/Labor Hours

Annandele = 40,000/250

= $160 per hour

Blacksburg = 12,000/60

= $200 per hour

Charlottesville = 60,000/500

= $120

Danville = 25,000/250

= $100

<em>Blacksburg</em><em> is most productive at $200 per labor hour. </em>

<em />

b. Multifactor productivity would incorporate the other costs such as labor rate and rent.

= Sales volume / ( Rent + Labor cost)

Annandale = 4,0000/ (2,800 + 250 * 10)

= $7.5

Blacksburg = 12,000 / (1,200 + 60 * 7.25)

= $7

Charlottesville = 60,000/ ( 2,000 + 500 * 8)

= $10

Danville = 25,000 / ( 800 + 200 * 7.50)

= $10.86

<em>Blacksberg</em><em> is least productive using Multifactor so should be closed down. </em>

A project has an initial cost of $44,000. Expected cash flows as a result of this project are projected as indicated below. Calc
maksim [4K]

Answer:

It will take 5 years and 99 days to recover for the initial investment at a discount rate of 9%.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Project X t Cash Flows

0 -44,000

1 10,000

2 10,000

3 15,000

4 18,000

5 15,000

<u>The payback period is the time required to cover for the initial investment. We need to discount each cash flow using the following formula:</u>

PV= Cf/(1+i)^n

Year 1= 10,000/1.09= 9,174.31 - 44,000= -34,825.69

Year 2= 10,000/1.09^2= 8,416.80 - 34,825.69= -26,408.89

Year 3= 15,000/1.09^3= 11,582.75 - 26,408.89= 14,826.14

Year 4= 18,000/1.09^4= 12,751.65 - 14,826.14= - 2,074.49

Year 5= 15,000/1.09^5= 9,748.97 - 2,074.49= 7,674.48

<u>To be more accurate:</u>

(2,074.49/7,674.48)*365= 99

It will take 5 years and 99 days to recover for the initial investment at a discount rate of 9%.

Susan wanted to give a diamond pendant to Lucy, her daughter. Susan entered into a contract with Andrew, a dealer who specialize
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: Lucy can sue Andrew as she is a donee beneficiary of the contract

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Susan wanted to give a diamond pendant to Lucy, who is her daughter. Susan then entered into a contract with Andrew, who is a dealer that specializes in diamond jewelry.

Susan had promised to pay him if he delivered the pendant to Lucy but later Andrew withdrew from the contract and Lucy wanted to sue him.

In this case, Lucy cannot sue Andrew because she is a donee beneficiary. It should be noted that as a donee beneficiary of the contract, the will only get the benefit of the contract as a gift but the contract is really between Susan and Andrew. She is not a party to the contract technically.

You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $21. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $2.04 next year, and your adv
just olya [345]

Answer:

E. None of the above

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the holding period return

Holding period return is the rate of return which an assets earns during the period in which it holds the assets.

Holding Period Return = (Selling Price - Initial Price + Dividend ) / Initial Price

Holding Period Return = ($24 - $21 + $2.04 ) / $21 = 0.24 = 24%

Now we need to calculate the expected return on the stock using CAPM formula as follow

Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market Risk Premium )

Expected return = rf + beta ( E(rm) )

Placing values in the formula

Expected return = 8% + 1.2 ( 16% )

Expected return = 27.2%

Abnormal return is the difference of Holding period return and expected return

Abnormal return = 27.2% - 24% = 3.2%
