Answer:
a. charges a different price to different customers that is not reflective of the firm's costs.
Explanation:
The price discrimination strategy occurs when an organization charges a different price to different customers that does not reflect the company's costs, that is, the company divides its potential customers into groups, usually based on customer perceptions and characteristics and demographic data to evaluate which group of customers is willing to pay more or less for a particular product or service.
This is a strategy that can be favorable for companies to charge a maximum price for their product knowing that it will be accepted, but it is effective in large companies that have a high position in the market.
Answer:
Reduction in work in progress = $7500
Explanation:
given data
time = 10 hours
time = 15 hours
worth = $1,500
to find out
reduction in work in process value
solution
we find work in progress by this formula
work in progress = Flow rate × Cycle Time .......................1
so Initial work in progress is
Initial work in progress = (1 per hour) × 10 hours = 10
and Final work in progress is here
Final work in progress = (1 per hour) × 15 hours = 15
so
Initial work in progress value = 10 × 1500
Initial work in progress value= $15000
and
Final work in progress value =15 × 1500
Final work in progress value = $22500
so
Reduction in work in progress = $22500 - $15000
Reduction in work in progress = $7500
Entrepreneurs and other producers accept risks because they hope to earn PROFIT.
Every businesses are set up for the purpose of earning profits. Every venture has its accompanying risks of failure but if everything goes right, then the pay-off will be worth it.
High risks business also have high potential of generating high profit.
Answer:
a) diluted earnings per share = 0
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.
Whereas DEPS is a representation of not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.
So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.
If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:
The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;
DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.
Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.
Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).
Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;
DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960
DEPS =$424400÷120960
DEPS = $3.5
Answer:
$4.24287 million per year
Explanation:
Missing question: The swap will call for the exchange of 1 million euros for a given number of dollars in each year.
For structured three separate forward contracts of the exchange of currencies, the forward price could be found as follows
Forward exchange rate * $1 million error = Dollar to be received
Year 1 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03) * 1 million euros
Year 1 = 1.514563106796117 * 1 million euros
Year 1 = $1.5145 million
Year 2 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03)^2 * 1 million euros
Year 2 = 1.529267602978604 * 1 million euros
Year 2 = $1.5293 million
Year 3 = 1.50*(1.04/1.03)^3 * 1 million euros
Year 3 = $1.5441 million
The number of dollars each year is determined by computing the present value:
= 1.5145 / 1.04 + 1.5293 /(1.04)^2 +1.5441 / (1.04)^3
= 1.45625 + 1.41392 + 1.3727
= $4.24287 million per year
