Yakov lives in San Diego and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $704,000 from selling boats. Of t

his sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $404,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $286,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $3,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Yakov does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $20,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business. Identify each of Yakov's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling boats.

Answer:

Yakov's explicit costs are the monetary costs that he pays while running his business:

Payment to manufacturer: $404,000

Wages and utility bills: $286,000

Total explicit costs: $690,000

Yakov's implicit costs are his opportunity costs, in other words, the things he gives up in order to run his business:

Rent he would get for his showroom: $3,000

Wage he would get as an accountant: $20,000

Total implicit costs: $23,000

Yakov's accounting profit is equal to revenue minus total explicit costs:

Accounting profit = $704,000 - $690,000

                             = $14,000

Yakov's economic profit is equal to revenue minus total costs (the sum of implic costs and explicit costs)

Economic profit = $704,000 - $713,000

                          = ($9,000)

Despite the fact that Yakov is not earning an economic profit selling boats, as an accountant, he would give up on the $704,000 that he is been making from selling boats. For that reason, he should keep the boat selling business.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is 7.17% and for option (b) is $48,546.69.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

(a) Present value = $3,000

Future value = $6,000

Time period = 10 years

So, we can calculate the annual rate of return by using following formula:

Rate of return = (( FV ÷ PV)^1/t  -1)

= (( $6,000 ÷ $3,000)^1/10 -1)

= (2)^0.1 - 1

= 1.07177346254 - 1

= .07177 or 7.17%

(b) Present value = $12,000

Rate of interest (r) = 15%

Time period = 10 year

So, we can calculate the Future value by using following formula:

FV = PV × ( 1+r)^t

= $12,000 × ( 1 + 15%)^10

= $12,000 × 4.04555773571

= $48,546.69

Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is considering a one-year project that requires an initial investment of $500,000; however, in raisi
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The rate of return expected on this project by Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is 15.20%

Explanation:

Since flotation cost is 4% that implies that $500,000 is actually 96% (100%-4%) of the cash proceeds from the capital funding,hence funds raised is computed thus:

funds raised=$500,000/0.96=$520,833.33  

Annual return on investment=cash inflow-initial cash outflow

cash inflow is $600,000

cash outflow  is $520,833.33  

annual return on investment=$600,000-$520,833.33=$79166.67

rate of return on project=annual return on investment/initial investment

                                        =$79,166.67 /$520,833.33*100=15.20%

The rate of return that Cold Goose Metal Works Inc is 15.20%

he next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $2.34 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 4.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The Required Return is 10.82%.

Explanation:

The Dividends Model for the Constant Growth is given below:

                                          P0 = D1 / (Ke - g)

Arranging the above equation for "Ke", that is the Required Return:

                                      ⇒ Ke = (D1 / P0) + g

Putting Values and we get:

Required Return = Ke = (2.34 / 37) + .045 = .1082 = 10.82%.

Thanks!

Why might a town decide to issue bonds?
Sophie [7]
A town might decide to issue bonds to B) to build new roads or bridges. A town will achieve a specified amount of money by issuing the bond and there must be an obvious source for returning the bond value until its maturity date. Therefore, building projects or other projects related to the town's infrastructure would be the most appropriate reason for a town to issue bonds.
