Answer:

product differentiation

Explanation:

A product differentiation strategy focuses on distinguishing your company's products or services from the competition. The company must add meaningful and valued differences that will distinguish our product or service in order for our customers to view them as different or better. The goal of a differentiation strategy is to gain a competitive advantage since customers associate differentiated products to higher quality products.

meriva

Answer:

$4,000,000

Explanation:

The computation of Present Value of Annuity is shown below:-

Present Value of Annuity = Amount ÷ Rate of Interest

Rate of Interest = 6.5% per year compounded weekly

or Rate of Interest = 6.5 ÷ 52

= 0.125% per week

Present Value of Annuity = Amount ÷ Rate of Interest

= $5,000 ÷ 0.00125

= $4,000,000

Therefore for computing the present value of annuity we simply applied the above formula.

Finch Manufacturing Company reported the following data regarding a product it manufactures and sells. The sales price is $43. V
ioda

Answer:

a) Break even in units= 12, 684 units; Break even in dollars= 547,727.27

b) Break even in units= 19,052 units; Break even in dollars= $822,727.27

c) The salaries to pay to get a profit of $121,600 is $196,400

Explanation:

Solution to A) Compute the Contribution Margin per unit and use it to calculate the break -even point

1. Per unit Contribution Margin is calculated as the

Price- Variable Cost (Manufacturing and Selling)

=$43- $17-$7

= $19

Based on this calculation, then calculate the Contribution Margin Ratio

= Contribution/Sales

= $19/$43 = 0.44 or 44%

2. Next step, calculate total fixed cost  as follows:

Total fixed cost = Manufacturing + Administrative Fixed costs)

= $160,000 + $81,000

= $241,000

Now, calculate the Break Even in Units =

The total fixed cost/ Contribution Margin

= $241,000/$19

= 12, 684 units

Now, calculate the Break even in dollars=

Total fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio

= $241,000/0.44

= $547,727.27

Solution B: Using the Contribution per unit Contribution Margin, determine Sales level in Units and dollars required for a profit of $121,600

What is the desired profit                               $121,600

The total fixed cost                                         <u> $241,000</u>

Total amount is                                               $362,000

Therefore, calculate the Break Even in Units using the new total fixed cost

= $362,000/$19= 19,052 units

Also, Calculate the Break even in dollars

= $362,000/ 0.44=  $822,727.27

Solution C: Calculate salaries for salespeople to sell 21,500 units and make a profit of $121,600

We can start with an equation assumption as follows:

Let the required fixed cost be as follows:

The total fixed cost in solution 1 + X( the additional fixed cost required).

Therefore, the target profit

= Target Profit= Units to sell x (price- variable manufacturing cost) - the total fixed cost

= $121,600= 21,500 units x (43-17) - $241,000+ x

= $121,600= (21,500 x 26)- (241,000+ x)

=$121,600= 559,000- 241,000 -x

x= 559,000-241,000-121,600

x= $196,400

The salaries to pay to get a profit of $121,600 is $196,400

An all-equity firm is considering the following projects:
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Projects Y and Z

b. Projects W and Z

c. Projects W and Y

Explanation:

CAPM equation : Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta x (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

W = 4% + [0.85 x (11% - 4%)] = 9.95%

X = 4% + (0.92 x 7%) = 10.44%

Y = 4% + (1.09 x 7%) = 11.63%

Z = 4% + (1.35 x 7%) = 13.45%

Projects Y and Z have an expected return greater than 11%

b. Projects W and Z should be accepted because its expected return is higher than the IRR

c. Project W would be incorrectly rejected because the expected rate of return is less than the overall cost of capital (i.e. 9.95 is less than 11). But its expected rate of return is greater than the IRR

Y would be incorrectly accepted because its expected rate of return is greater  than the overall cost of capital but its expected rate of return is less than the IRR

Consider the following information for Evenflow Power Co., Debt: 5,000 6.5 percent coupon bonds outstanding, $1,000 par value, 1
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

<em>WACC 10.07765%</em>

Explanation:

We solve for the cost of debt by solving for the discount rate which makes the future coupon payment and maturity of the bond equal to 1,020

This is solved using excel or a financial calculator

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 32.50

time 34

<em>rate 0.03153274</em>

32.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.03153274)^{-34} }{0.0315327401919093} = PV\\

PV $672.0015

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   1,000.00

time   34.00

<em> rate  0.03153274</em>

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.03153274)^{34} } = PV  

PV   348.00

PV c $672.0015

PV m  $347.9985

Total $1,020.0000

<u>annual cost of debt:</u>

0.031532 x 2 = 0.063064 = 6.31%

<u>debt outstanding:</u>

5,000 bonds x $ 1,000  x 102/100 = 5,100,000

<u>equity</u>:

105,000 shares x $59 each = 6,195,000

For  the equity we solve using CAMP

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.05

market rate = 0.09

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.085

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.17

Ke= 0.05 + 1.17 (0.085)

<u>Ke 0.14945</u>

Now we solve for the WACC

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

D  5,100,000

E  6,195,000

V  11,295,000

Equity weight 0.5485

Debt Weight 0.4515

Ke 0.14945

Kd 0.0631

t 0.34

WACC = 0.14945(0.5485) + 0.0631(1-0.34)(0.4515)

<em>WACC 10.07765%</em>
