Suppose Nike's managers were considering expanding into producing sports beverages. Why might the company decide to do this unde

lara [203]

Answer:

Te correct answer is the first option: The cost of producing sports beverages along with its current products under the Nike brand name <u>is less</u> than the cost of producing sports beverages under a new brand name plus the cost of producing Nike's current products under the Nike brand name

Explanation:

To begin with, the fact that the managers are looking forward to expand the business and to aggregate sports beverages indicates that the company is doing good in the sales and therefore they have margin to invest in a plan like that. Secondly, the fact that they do it under Nike's name will cost them less than doing it otherwise due the fact that they will not have to pay for a new name and all the registrations and patents that the strategy involves. They will only need to register the new product and even more they would have all the marketing campaign focus on the same audience and will find strength in using the brand and name of Nike for that, in terms of publicity.

For April = $119,960

For May = $107,726

Explanation:

Note: See the attached Excel file for the schedule of cash payments

The expenses paid in each month are estimated as follows:

a. March Expenses

Paid in March = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($160,800 - $35,000) * 73% = $91,834

Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for March - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for March) * Percentage of balance paid = ($160,800 - $35,000) * (100% - 73%) = $33,966

b. April Expenses

Paid in April = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($152,800 - $35,000) * 73% = $85,994

Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for April - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for April) * Percentage of balance paid = ($152,800 - $35,000) * (100% - 73%) = $31,806

c. May Expenses

Paid in May = (Total projected selling and administrative expenses for May - Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes for May) * Percentage of reminder paid = ($139,000 - $35,000) * 73% = $75,920

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

<u>total</u>

Explanation:

Remember, a LIFO method of accounting for inventory differs in that it records the most recently produced items as sold first; meaning Last in, First Out. Thus leading to recording the lowest cost of older products in the inventory.

A case of lower Net income (income after deductions of cost) thus exists if revenues are sufficient to cover the total cost of the units of inventory sold which reduces taxes.

At the end of 2018, the federal government debt of the U.S. stood at 104% of GDP. Imagine that, unlike in previous years, from 2

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The U.S. federal debt as a fraction of GDP in year 2050 will be 77%

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Debt in the end of 2018 = 104% of GDP

Nominal GDP growth = 3%

Interest on debt = 2%

In order to calculate What will be the U.S. federal debt as a fraction of GDP in year 2050 first we have to calculate the debt in 2050 using the following formula:

Debt in 2050 = Current Debt*(1+r%)n

Debt in 2050 = 104*1.0232 = 196

Next, we would have to calculate the GDP in 2050 using the following formula:

GDP in 2050 = Current GDP*(1+r%)n

GDP in 2050 = 100*1.0332 = 257.5

Therefore, Debt as percentage of GDP in 2050 = 196/ 257 = 77%

Mary Smith took a car loan of $25,000 to pay back in 48 monthly installments at an interest rate of 8%. Compute the loan balance

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

$9,233.

Explanation:

The balance of the loan after the 32th payment can be determined after constructing a loan amortization schedule for this car loan. To construct the amortization schedule, we need to first calculate the monthly instalments (PMT) as this is the missing parameter for our time value of money.

I am using a financial calculator here to calculate the monthly instalment :

PV = $25,000

P/YR = 12

I = 8%

N = 48 (years)

FV = $0

PMT = ?

Therefore, the monthly instalment PMT is $610.32.

But, we need the balance immediately after the 32th payment, so we construct an amortization schedule - now that we have all the parameters.

On a financial calculator enter 1 INPUT 32, SHIFT AMORT.

Pressing the equal sign gives the principle then interest and finally the balance of this loan after the 32th payment. The balance you should get if you follow this procedure carefully is $9,233.
