The difference of entrepreneurs and inventors is that when it comes to entrepreneur, they are the one responsible of assembling the things of which an inventor creates as the inventors are the one responsible of creating new things. The risk of it is that in entrepreneurs, they have to make the invention more worthy in the eyes of the people to make it grow in the business world while the inventors should make invention in which will be contributing to the society as this will be a building block of their reputation.

The difference between an inventor and an entrepreneur is that, an inventor develops new services and goods but he does not have them to the market. An entrepreneur risks resources may it be human, capital or natural in order to bring to the market improved and new products.

The risk which is incurred between entrepreneur and inventor is that, entrepreneur undergoes huge financial risks because a lot of money is being invested while inventor has low financial risk since there is no big investment which is being required.

Assume the current U.S. dollar-yen spot rate is 90 ¥/$. Further, the current nominal 180-day rate of return in Japan is 1% (annu

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Forward excahnge rate/spot exchange rate = (1+rh)/(1+rf)

rh - periodic interest rate in the home currency

rf - periodic interest rate in the foreign currency

Forward/90 = [1+1%*180/360]/[1+2%*180/360]

Forward = 1.005/1.01 * 90 = 89.55

Forward rate is 89.55 yen/$

b. Conversion cost per equivalent unit during March

Total Conversion Costs/ Total Equivalent Units Conversion

= 106970/56,300 = $1.9 per Equivalent Unit

Materials cost per equivalent unit during March

Total Materials Costs/ Total Equivalent Units Materials

= 28080/52000 = $ 0.54 per Equivalent Unit

Transferred In cost per equivalent unit during March

Total Transferred In Costs / Total Transferred In Units

= 199920 / 73500 = 2.72

C. Cost Assigned To Transferred Out Goods $ 268,320

Materials = 52,000*0.54= $ 28080

Conversion = 52,000* 1.9= 98800

Transferred in Units = 2.72 * 52000= 141440

Cost Assigned To Ending Work In Process $66650

Conversion = 4300* 1.9= 8170

Transferred in Units = 2.72 * 21500= 58,480

C. Total Costs Assigned = Transferred Out + Ending = $334970

d. Conversion cost assigned to the ending work in process: $8170

Conversion = 4300* 1.9= 8170

We see the difference between the weighted average and FIFO method is that the FIFO method only accounts for the current period costs not the total the costs.Where as the weighted method includes all the costs from preceeding department and also current costs.

Masterson, Inc., has 4.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $89.50, and the book value per s

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Masterson, Inc.

1. The company's capital structure weights on a book value basis are:

Book Value Weights:

Equity = 0.27 or 27%

Debts = 0.73 0r 73%

2. The company's capital structure weights on market value basis are:

Market Value Weights:

Equity = 0.75 or 75%

Debts = 0.25 or 25%

3. The market value weights of Masterson's common stock and debts are more relevant because they represent a more current valuation of the equity and the debts. It is easier to calculate the book value weights since the information is more readily available within the entity than the information on market weights.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Equity Units Total Value

Outstanding common stock 4.4 million shares

Current share price $89.50 $393.8 million

Book value per share $11.25 $49.5 million

Debt Units Total Value

First bond:

Face value 81,000 $81 million

Market value 81,000 $78.165 million

Coupon rate = 5.1% $4.131 million p.a.

Second bond:

Face value 53,000 $53 million

Market value 53,000 $54.445 million

Coupon rate = 5.3% $2,809 million p.a.

Total book value of bonds 134,000 $134 million

Total market value of bonds 134,000 $132.61 million

Capital structure Equity Bonds Total

Book value $49.5 million $134 million $183.5 million

Market value $393.8 million $132.61 million $526.41 million

Book Value Weights:

Equity = $49.5/$183.5 = 0.27 or 27%

Debts = $134/$183.5 = 0.73 0r 73%

Market Value Weights:

Equity = $393.8/$526.41 = 0.75 or 75%

Debts = $132.61/$526.41 = 0.25 or 25%

If Ed=2 and price decreases by 1%, by what percentage and in what direction will quantity demanded change?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Given:

Elasticity of Demand = 2

Decrease in price = 1%

To find:

Change in quantity demanded

Solution:

The percentage change in quantity demanded is the mathematical product of the percentage change in price and elasticity of demand. This can be mathematically represented as,

$\% \text{ change in quantity demanded }=\% \text{ change in price }\times\text{Elasticity of demand }\\\\ \Rightarrow \% \text{ change in quantity demanded }=1\times2\rightarrow 2\%$

Since, there is a decrease in price, the demand for the product will increase. Therefore, we can conclude that there will be 2% increase in quantity demanded
