Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Specialization means a company or country concentrating on producing few commodities. In practice, a state or company will focus on the products it can produce more efficiently. It means focusing on goods they can manufacture at a lower cost compared to other countries.

The USA can specialize in the goods and services it can produce at a lower cost than other nations. It can then export these products to other countries at competitive prices. For products that are costly to manufacture in the USA, it is prudent to import them from countries that can produce them at lower costs.

Some products manufactured in other countries at a lower cost may be sold in the USA at fair prices than when produced in the USA.

Problem 8-15 Comparing Investment Criteria [LO 1, 3, 4, 6] Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flo

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Payback period (A) is 3.44 years

Payback period (B) is 2.39 years

Explanation:

Cash Flow (A) –$428,000; $42,500; $63,500; $80,500; $543,000

Cash Flow (B) –$41,500; $20,700; $13,000; $20,100; $16,900

The payback period will note consider discounting rate, thus we do manual counting till the cash flow equal to zero (0)

Payback period = Number of Years immediately preceding year of break-even + (investment - cashflow of Years immediately preceding year of break-even)/ cashflow of year break- even

Project A will be break even in Year 4, then

Payback period (A) = 3 years + ($428,000 - ($42,500+$63,500+$80,500))/ $543,000 = 3.44 years

Project B will be break even in Year 3, then

Payback period (B) = 2 years + ($41,500 - ($20,700+$13,000))/$20,100 = 3.44 years = 2.39 years

solmaris [256]

Answer:

1)Dividend per share = 1

2)Dividend yield = 5%

3)Dividend payout ratio = 0.39

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Net sale = $5,345,000

Cost of goods sold = $3,474,250

Gross margin = $5,345,000 - $3,474,250 = $1,870,750

Operating expenses = $1,140,300

Operating income = $1,870,750 - $1,140,300 = $730,450

Interest expenses = $27,000

Income before taxes = $730,450 - $27,000 = $703,450

Income tax(40%) = $281,380

Net in come = $422,070

Preference of dividend = $40,000

Earnings available to common stockholders = $422,070 - $40,000 =$382,070

Common stock = $150,000

Earning per share = $382,070÷$150,000 = 2.55

Dividend to common stockholders = $150,000

Dividend per share = $150,000÷$150,000 = 1

Market price of common share = $20

Dividend yield = (Dividend per share×100÷market price of common share) = 5%

Dividend payout ratio = Dividend per share÷earning per share =1÷2.55 = 0.39

Debt to equity ratio compares the finance provided by outsiders viz-a-viz that which is provided by the original owners of the company,the shareholders, in order to determine whether or not the company is at risk of slow growth if outsiders withdraw their funds.

Debt to equity=total liabilities/equity

E-Travel:

total liabilities is $2,854,475

total equity $2,482,681

debt-equity ratio=$2,854,475/$2,482,681=1.15

Debtholders provided more capital funding than the stockholders

Pricecheck:

total liabilities is $472,610

total equity is $1,257,614

debt-to-equity ratio=$472,610/$1,257,614 =0.38

When happens when demand exceeds supply?

ElenaW [278]

A shortage occurs when demand exceeds supply – in other words, when the price is too low. However, shortages tend to drive up the price, because consumers compete to purchase the product. As a result, businesses may hold back supply to stimulate demand.
