Answer: 15,000 units per annum

Explanation;

for Atlanta, FC = $80000

VC = $20 per unit

For Phoenix, FC = $140000

VC = $16

Total cost = VC + FC

Atlanta TC = $80000 + ($20 x n)

Phoenix TC = $140000 + ($16 X n)

Where n = number of units

for indifference between locations, total cost must be equal,

Therefore,

80000 + 20n = 140000 +16n

20n - 16n = 140000 - 80000

4n = 60000

n = 1500 units per annum

Answer: The answer is 15,000 units per annum

Explanation:

for Atlanta:

Fixed cost = $80000

Variable cost = $20 per unit

For Phoenix:

Fixed cost = $140000

Variable cost = $16

Total cost = VC + FC

Since we do not know the number of units, let us represent it with 'n'

For Atlanta:

Total cost = $80000 + ($20 x n)

For Phoenix:

Total cost= $140000 + ($16 X n)

To calculate the indifference between locations, total cost of Atlanta and Phoenix must be equal, therefore we have:

80000 + 20n = 140000 + 16n

20n - 16n = 140000 - 80000

4n = 60000

Divide both sides by 4, we have:

n = 15,000 units per annum

Global Pistons​ (GP) has common stock with a market value of $ 200$200 million and debt with a value of $ 100$100 million. Inves
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a. Suppose GP issues $ 100$100 million of new stock to buy back the debt. What is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 12%

b. Suppose instead GP issues $ 50.00$50.00 million of new debt to repurchase stock. i. If the risk of the debt does not​ change, what is the expected return of the stock after this​ transaction?

  • 18%

ii. If the risk of the debt​ increases, would the expected return of the stock be higher or lower than when debt is issued to repurchase stock in part ​(i​)?

  • If the risk of the debt increases, then the cost of the debt will increase. Therefore, the company will need to spend more money paying the interests related to the new debt which would decrease the ROE compared to the 18% of (i). Since we do not know the new cost of the debt, we cannot know exactly by how much it will affect the ROE, but I assume it will still be higher than the previous ROE.

Explanation:

common stock $200 million

total debt $100 million

required rate of return 15%

cost of debt 6%

current profits = ($200 million x 15%) + ($100 x 6%) = $30 million + $6 million = $36 million

if equity increases to $300 million, ROI = 36/300 = 12

if instead new debt is issued at 6%:

equity 150 million, debt 150 million

cost of debt = 150 million x 6% = $9 million

remaining profits = $36 - $9 = $27 million

ROI = 27/150 = 18%

Sheridan considers herself a religious person who attends worship services regularly, but she did not attend worship services fo
shusha [124]

The answer is: averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

When we use principle of aggregation, we would not rely on single measurement to make a representation of a person's behavior. We rely more on multiple sets of measurements.

From the case above, Sheridan not attending the services for two weeks could be explained by things such as personal issues or physical illness. Since she considers herself as religious who attend regularly, it is very likely that averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

Perhaps the greatest risk for a company that chooses to pursue an integrated low cost/differentiation strategy is that it will
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The greatest risk of a low-cost provider strategy is getting lost with overly high price reduction and ending up with lower profit.

<h3>Low-cost / low-price advantage </h3>

It results in high profit only if;

  • (1) prices are reduced by less than the size of the cost advantage or
  • (2) the added volume is large enough to bring in a bigger total profit despite lower margins per unit sold.

Therefore, the greatest risk is a low profit.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3. 5,110,000 and 5,170,000

Explanation:

Number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share

= 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12

= 4800000 + 150000 + 160000

= 5,110,000

Number of shares to be used in computing dilute earnings per share

= 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12 + (6000000/1000)*40*3/12

= 4800000 + 150000 + 160000 + 60000

= 5,170,000

Therefore, The number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share on December 31, 2018 is 5,110,000 and 5,170,000.
