The Ascent, a mountain bicycle manufacturer, has been in the bicycle industry for a year now. The CEO wishes to better the compa

ny. He starts by looking at the sales records of the year that they have been in business and notices that the company's sales have been declining at a steady pace for the past six months and that at present they are selling only half as many bicycles as they want to. In an attempt to increase sales, he either wants to bring down the prices of his bicycles or expand the company by opening a new branch in another area. The CEO shares his views with the sales manager and finance managers. Together they decide that reducing the prices would definitely increase sales, although the profits would come down. They also determine that opening a new branch would only increase expenses. They conclude that they will reduce the prices of the bicycles. The plan is implemented and the CEO keeps a record of the sales every month to make sure the change is effective.Which of the following steps in formal planning process is the CEO performing when he debates between opening a new branch and reducing the prices?
a. engaging in situational analysis
b. monitoring and controlling
c. implementing the plan
d. selecting the goals and plans
e. generating alternative goals and plans

Answer: e. generating alternative goals and plans.

Explanation:

The step in formal planning process is the CEO performing when he debates between opening a new branch and reducing the prices is referred to as generating alternative goals and plans.

Here, the CEO wants to increase the sales of the company and in an attempt to do that he's considering different alternatives in order to know and decide which one will be best for the company to undertake. This means he is generating alternative goals and plans.

Options A-D are wrong as the CEO isn't monitoring, controlling or implementing any plan. Option E is the right answer.

In a homogeneous-good Cornet model where each of the n firms has a constant marginal cost m and the market demand curve is p = a
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n=1 (monopoly) we have Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}

Explanation:

In the case of a homogeneous-good Cournot model we have that firm i will solve the following profit maximizing problem

Max_{q_i} \,\, \Pi_i=(a-b(\sum_{i=1}^n q_i)-m)q_i

from the FPC we have that

a-b\sum_{i=1}^n q_i -m -b q_i=0

q_i=\frac{a-b \sum_{i=2}^n q_i-m}{2b}

since all firms are homogeneous this means that q_i=q \forall i

then q=\frac{a-b (n-1) q-m}{2b}=\frac{a-m}{(n+1)b}

the industry output is then

Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n=1 (monopoly) we have Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h3>Cynthia and Dove Corporation</h3>

Any profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia.  Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred.  These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

algol13

Answer:

A. $516,000

B. $696,600

Explanation:

A. Calculation to to determine the value of the Company's equity

First step is to calculate the Net income

Sales1,540,000

Less: Cost of goods sold790,000

Less: General and administrative costs525,000

Less: Interest expenses53,000

Income before corporate tax 172,000

Less: Corporate tax 40% 68,800

(40%*172,000)

Net income103,200

(172,000-68,800)

Now let determine the value of the Company's equity using this formula

Value of the Company's equity

= Net income/ cost of the firm’s levered equity

Let plug in the formula

Value of the Company's equity = $103,200/0.20

Value of the Company's equity = $516,000

Therefore The Value of the Company's equity is $516,000

B. Calculation to determine the total value of Company equity

First step is to calculate the Debt

Debt equity Ratio = 0.35

Debt/Equity = 0.35

Debt/ $516,000 = 0.35

Debt = $516,000 * 0.35

Debt =$180,600

Now let determine The Company’s value using this formula

Company’s Total value = Equity + Debt

Let plug in the formula

Company’s Total value = $516,000 + $180,600

Company’s Total value = $696,600

Therefore the total value of Company equity is $696,600
