Cornerstone, Inc. has $125,000 of inventory that suffered minor smoke damage from a fire in the warehouse. The company can sell

the goods "as is" for $45,000; alternatively, the goods can be cleaned and shipped to the firm's outlet center at a cost of $23,000. There the goods could be sold for $80,000. What alternative is more desirable and what is the relevant cost for that alternative?

Answer:

Alternative of cleaning and shipping is better as loss value is less.

Relevant cost of this alternative is $23,000 incurred for cleaning and shipping.

Explanation:

Evaluating both the proposals

In case the goods are sold as it is then net cost/ loss = Carrying value of inventory - Sales Revenue

= $125,000 - $45,000 = $80,000

In case the goods are cleaned and shipped then

Total cost = $125,000 + $23,000 = $148,000

Revenue = $80,000

Net loss/ cost = $148,000 - $80,000 = $68,000

Thus Since the loss value is less i alternative 2 that is of cleaning and shipping, it shall be chosen.

The relevant cost of that alternative is $23,000 incurred in cleaning and shipping.

Answer:

Before tax cost of debt is 7.12%

After tax cost of debt is 4.27%

Cost of equity is 10%

Explanation:

The before-tax cost of debt can be determined using excel rate formula as found below:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of semiannual payments the bond has i.e 20*2=40

pmt is the amount of semiannual payment=$1000*7.5%*6/12=$ 37.50  

pv is the current price =$1000*104%=$1,040.00  

fv is the face value of $1000

=rate(40,37.50,-1040,1000)=3.56%

The 3.56% is semiannual yield, hence 7.12% per year (3.56%*2)

After-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-t) where is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4

after-tax cost of debt=7.12%*(1-0.40)=4.27%

Cost of equity is determined using the below CAPM formula:

Ke=Rf+Beta*(Mr-Rf)

Rf is the risk free rate of 4%

Beta is 1.2

Mr is the market return of 9%

Ke=4%+1.2(9%-4%)=10.00%

Explain what happens when markets do not have enough competition.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The price will be higher and output lower in absence of competition.

Explanation:

When the market does not have enough competition, it provides a certain degree of market power to the existing producers. They are able to regulate prices and output.  

It is likely that the suppliers will provide a fewer quantities of goods at a higher price, in order to maximize their profits. The socially optimal level of output will not be produced in the market.  

The resources will not be efficiently allocated and deadweight loss will exist.
