Answer:

arc price elasticity = -1.64

Explanation:

arc price elasticity = (change in quantity x average price) / (change in price x average quantity)

  • change in quantity = 7,400 - 10,000 = -2,600 units
  • average price = ($2.50 + $3) / 2 = $2.75
  • change in price = $3 - $2.50 = $0.50
  • average quantity = (10,000 + 7,400) / 2 = 8,700 units

arc price elasticity = (-2,600 x $2.75) / ($0.50 x 8,700) = -7,150 / 4,350 = -1.64

The shift divides the hours in the day into specific period and assign teams that will work during each period. The shift practice is usually employed in production run in order to ensure efficient use of all resources during the production process. Production run are typically schedule into one or two shifts; which may be during the day alone or during the day and night.
2. FALSE
Hiring the needed complement will eliminate OVERTIME, not the second shift. Hiring the needed complement usually remove the need for all overtime. Hiring the needed complement will make having a second production run team possible and this second team can handle the production process that ought to be done through overtime.
3. FALSE.

4. TRUE.
During periods of high demand, production usually increases and more workers are hired. Instead of hiring more workers, a company that has two production shifts may decide to add more workers to the first shift in order to increase the amount of work that could be done. This will result in the decrease in the number of the workers in the second shift.
5. FALSE
Increasing training hours decreases needed complement. Increasing the training hours will equip the workers with the needed knowledge which will make them more effective and productive. This will decreases the complement needed for the production process.
6. RECRUITING COST [B].
In a situation where a company has to hire more workers to the one it already has on ground as a result of increased production, then the company will have to spend extra money in the process of recruiting the needed workers.
7. DECREASE [B]
If the productive index is already at 100%, adding overtime will decreases the productivity index. This is because, overtime has a way of reducing the efficiency and the productivity of the workers, thus decreasing the amount of work done by them.
8. FALSE.
Workers training is entered in hours. The amount of training received by workers are measured in hours. The higher the training hours, the higher the amount of training which a worker has undergone and the higher will be the value of that worker to the company.
9. C
Each company is expected to have a base amount of $1,000 for each new worker that is hired. The company may decide to eliminate all other recruiting costs but this base amount can not be eliminated.
10. SEPARATION COST [C].

Separation cost refers to the cost that is needed to lay off an employee from an organisation. When the production level decreases or the company decide to automate their production processes, then some workers will have to be sacked and these workers have to be paid some money before they leave the company.

You are offered a chance to buy an asset for $200,500 that is expected to produce cash flows of $100,000 at the end of Year 1, $
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

What rate of return (IRR) would you earn if you bought this asset?

8,48%

Explanation:

To find the IRR it's necessary to know which is the discount rate that applied to the cash flow of the assets gives a value that compensate the investment of $200,500.

Year 1   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^1    =  $92.182    

Year 2   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^2  =  $35.690  

Year 3   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^3  =   $41.398  

Year 4   $100.000  / (1+0,0848)^4  =   $31.230  

Total Present Value of Cash  Flow=

$92.182  + $35.690 + $41.398 + $31.230 =  $200,500

There is no way to find the IRR without Excel, the only way is to try with different rates in the current cash flow formula.

he Talley Corporation had a taxable income of $345,000 from operations after all operating costs but before (1) interest charges
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

(a) The firm's Income tax liability is $59,771.25.

(b) The firm's after-tax income is $233,478.75.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows

The Talley Corporation had a taxable income of $345,000 from operations after all operating costs but before (1) interest charges of $69,000, (2) dividends received of $17,250, (3) dividends paid of $20,700, and (4) income taxes. Its federal tax rate was 21% (ignore any possible state corporate taxes). Recall 50% of dividends received are tax exempt. What are the firm's income tax liability and its after-tax income?

The explanation to the anwer is now given as follows:

Adjusted taxable income = Income after operation - Interest charges + Taxable dividend received ................. (1)

Where;

Income after operation = $345,0000

Interest charges = $69,000

Taxable dividend received = 50% * $17,250 = $8,625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Adjusted taxable income = $345,000 - $69,000 + $8,625 = $284,625

(a) Income tax liability = Adjusted taxable income *  Tax rate = $284,625 * 21% = $59,771.25

(b) After-tax income = (Adjusted taxable income - Income tax liability) + (50% of dividend received) = ($284,625 - $59,771.25) +  (50% * $17,250) = $224,853.75 + $8,625 = $233,478.75
