The following two graphs show the markets for smartphones in Sweden and Norway. Use the graphs to answer the questions that foll

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Assume there are no transportation costs. With trade, the price of $22.5 brings about balance in exports and imports. At this price, 600 smartphones are traded. With trade, Sweden produces 900 smartphones and consumes 300 smartphones, and Norway produces 300 smartphones and consumes 900 smartphones.

Now suppose the per-unit transportation cost from Sweden to Norway is $5. With trade, the transportation cost changes the price of smartphones in Sweden to $25 and in Norway to $25. Sweden will produce 800 smartphones and consume 400 smartphones, thus exporting 400 smartphones. Norway will produce 400 smartphones and consume 800 smartphones, thus importing 400 smartphones.

Explanation:

With no transportation costs, Sweden shall export smartphones and Norway shall import smartphones because the market price is lower in Sweden than in Norway.

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Sweden, derived from the given values, are:

$Q_{D} = 1200 - 40P\\$

$Q_{S} = 40P$

The export supply (ES) equation is:

$ES = Q_{S} - Q_{D}$

ES = 40P - (1200 - 40P)

ES = 80P - 1200

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Norway, derived from the given values, are:

$Q_{D} = 1800 - 40P$

$Q_{S} = 40P - 600$

The import demand (ID) equation is:

$ID = Q_{D} - Q_{S}$

ID = 1800 - 40P - (40P - 600)

ID = 2400 - 80P

The equilibrium price and quantity traded is determined where ES = ID.

80P - 1200 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 22.5

Q = 2400 - 80(22.5) = 600

Next, a transaction cost of $5 per unit is imposed from Sweden to Norway. This changes the ES function as follows.

New ES = 80(P - 5) - 1200

New ES = 80P - 1600

The new equilibrium is where New ES = MD.

80P - 1600 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 25

Q = 80(25) - 1600 = 400

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

Explanation:

WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wE * rE

Where,

w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
r represents the cost of each component
D and E represents debt and equity respectively

To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.

The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share

MV of equity = $1200 million

The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)

40 * (r - 0.07) = 4

40r - 2.8 = 4

40r = 4+2.8

r = 6.8 / 40

r = 0.17 or 17%

MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5% => $38.6 million

Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million

WACC = 38.6/1238.6 * 0.08 * (1-0.33) + 1200/1238.6 * 0.17

WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%

creativ13 [48]

Answer: The following journal entries apply:

a) Debit Bad debt expense $32,727.6

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $32,727.6

b) Debit Bad debt expense $37,017.6

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $37,017.6

Explanation: All the sales revenue are on credit to the tune of $806,700, however, there was sales return and allowance of $51,060, which has to be deducted from credit sales to arrive at the net credit sales of $755,640. This amount would be added to the accounts receivable of $132,800 to arrive at the total accounts receivable of $888,440.

a) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6. With credit balance of $2,810 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (addition) is $32,727.6 ($35,537.6 - $2,810).

b) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6 and there is a debit balance of $1,480 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (to reinstate allowance account to $35,537.6) is $37,017.6 ($35,537.6 + $1,480).
