The answer to the question is poor planning.

ABC grocery store’s profits have been dropping significantly due to the wrong direction that many departments of the stores are pursuing. It can be assumed that poor coordination and miscommunication causes these stores to work on targets that the owner actually does not prioritize. This is apparent from how the owner realized that she didn’t provide enough direction to the managers in regards to her expectations for how these stores should operate.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Fox Resources

Units of common stock in issue = $5,000,000 divided $20 = 250,000 units

A. Earnings per share = Net income (after deducting preferred stock interest) divided by number of outstanding shares in issue

We assume the Net income provided already has deducted interest on preferred stock

= $2.4

B. Price Earning Ratio

= share price divided by the Earnings per share

= 20/2.4

= 8.33

C. Dividend Per share

= Dividend paid divided by number of common stock issued & outstanding

= $125,000/250,000

= $0.50

ABC Company sold the rights to use one of their patented processes that will result in them receiving cash payments of $10,000 a
BigorU [14]

Answer:

$77,217

$11,289

Explanation:

Fist we will calculate the present value of $10,000 payment

A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity. The value of the annuity is also determined by the present value of annuity payment.

Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

Where

P = Annual payment = $10,000

r = rate of return = 10% / 2  = 5%

n = number of period = 5 years x 2 semiannual payments per year = 10 payments

PV of annuity = $10,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.05 )^-10 ) / 0.05 ]

PV of Annuity = $77,217

Now we will use the discounting method to calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $20,000

Present value = Future value x Present value factor

PV = FV x ( 1 + r )^-n

PV = $20,000 x ( 1 + 0.1 )^-6

PV = $11,289
