Kipish [7]

Answer:

$1.07

Explanation:

The marginal cost measures the change in total cost of adding on more worker divided by the change in product for this additional worker (marginal product of labor). When adding one more worker, costs will increase by $80 (wage rate), while product will increase by 75. Therefore, the marginal cost is:

MC=\frac{80}{75}\\MC=\$1.07

The marginal cost is $1.07.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A) $704,000.

Explanation:

For computing the cash payments we need to calculate the following amounts which are as follows

Total purchases = cost of goods sold + ending inventory - opening inventory

= $720,000 + $188,000 - $200,000

= $708,000

Now cash payment to merchandise is

= Beginning account payable balance + purchased made - ending account payable balance

= $80,000 + $708,000 - $84,000

= $704,000

Hence, the correct option is A. $704,000

Companies HD and LD are both profitable, and they have the same total assets (TA), total invested capital, sales (S), return on
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Both company will have same Equity multiplier as total assets and equity are same of both companies. So Option A and B is incorrect.

Option C is also incorrect because there is no difference between the sales and total assets of both companies.

Option D is correct because the return on equity of the company LD is higher as the Net profit which is profit after interest and tax is higher than the profit after interest and tax of the company HD.

ROE = PAIT / Equity

Option E is wrong because when we say ROA is same this means that the operating income is same.

ROA = Operating profit / Total assets

Remember that the operating profit is earnings before interest and tax.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Total $1,271.0564

Explanation:

We have bond of 10 years ago, so the bond is left with 5 years of life

<u>we need to calculate the present value ofthe cuopon payment:</u>

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 50 (1,000 x 5%)

time 10 (5 years 2 payment a year)

rate 0.02 (4% annual divide by 2 to get semiannually)

50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.02)^{-10} }{0.02} = PV\\

PV $449.1293

<u>and the present value of the principal</u>

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

Maturity 1000

time 5

rate 0.04

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.04)^{5} } = PV

PV  $821.9271

<u>We add both to get the present value ofthe bond</u>

PV c $449.1293

PV m  $821.9271

Total $1,271.0564
