Assume you work for a valuation firm, and you have been given the assignment of valuing a local law firm comprising three partne

rs and four associates. One partner plans to retire spoon, and the partners are trying to agree on the value of a one-third interest in the firm in order to buy out the departing partner's interest. The firm's revenue per partner is two times higher than that of the average firm of a similar size, but you soon discover that 80% of firm revenue is from one client.

Answer:

Valuation of a law firm

One question to raise:

Which of the partners brought in this one powerful client?  I hope it is not the retiring partner.

Explanation:

If the retiring partner had brought in the client and had been in charge of the client's business, the firm's valuation would be drastically influenced by these facts.  It is likely that the client might retire the service as the retiring partner retires.  This will jeopardize the revenue outlook of the firm, its future prospects, and its current value.  However, if the retiring partner is not linked to this powerful client, then it may be that the firm's value will not be at risk.  Again, over-dependence on one client for firm's revenue is does not augur well for the firm.  Moreover, the margin of over-dependence is too high for comfort.  There is serious need for a review of the relationship, not in terms of termination, but in terms of seeking for more big-ticket clients to relatively reduce the over-dependence.

Answer:

A. $1,020,000

B.$680,000

C.$340,000

D.$95,000

E.$245,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation for Jon’s total revenues

Using this formula

Jon's total revenue = Amount of fees per person × Number of persons

Let plug in the formula

Jon's total revenue = $1,200 × 850

Jon's total revenue=$1,020,000

B. Calculation for Jon’s explicit costs

Using this formula

Explicit costs = Amount of money that goes for instructors, maintenance, equipment,insurance, depreciation ×Number of persons

Let plug in the formula

Explicit costs= $800 ×850

Explicit costs =$680,000

C. Calculation for the his accounting profit

Using this formula

Accounting profit = Amount of Revenue - Explicit costs

Let plug in the formula

Accounting profit= $1,020,000 - $680,000 Accounting profit=$340,000

D. Calculation to List 2 in numbers 2 implicit costs that Jon has not included

Based on the information given we were told that he is foregoing an amount of $92,000 as wage and 1.5% interest on his amount of $200,000 which is a corporate bonds to start the business.

Hence

Jon total opportunity costs = $92,000 + (1.5%×$200,000)

Jon total opportunity costs = $92,000 +$3,000 Jon total opportunity costs=$95,000.

E. Calculation for Jon’s pure economic profit (or loss) in numbers

Using this formula

Economic profit = Accounting profit - opportunity costs

Let plug in the formula

Economic profit = $340,000-$95,000

Economic profit = $245,000

Heather Hudson makes stuffed teddy bears. Recent information for her business follows: Selling price per bear $ 32.50 Total fixe
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: 26.5% increase

Explanation:

Current profit = Sales - Variable costs - fixed costs

= ((32.50 - 16.50) * 360 bears) - 1,420

= $4,340

Sales increase by 20% = 360 * ( 1 + 20%) = 432 bears

New profit;

= ((32.50 - 16.50) * 432 bears) - 1,420

= $5,492

Effect of sales increase = ( 5,492 - 4,340) / 4,340

= 26.5% increase

Julli [10]

Answer: $744,000

Explanation:

The amount that should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020 will be:

First, we have to calculate the amortization recorded up to 2019. This will be:

= (1,240,000 / 10) x 2

= 248,000

The we calculate the amortization to be recognized in 2020. This will be:

= (1,240,000 – 248,000) / 4

= 248,000

The amount that should be reported in the balance sheet for the patent, net of accumulated amortization, at December 31, 2020 will be:

= 1240000 - 248000 - 248000

= $744,000
