In addition, Christoper will not collect any additional basis for the tax paid on the gift. The correct answer is option c.

Ken consumes two goods, Sprite and potato chips. Sprite costs $1 per can, and he consumes it to the point where the marginal uti

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The correct option is c. $8.

Explanation:

Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:

MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)

Where;

MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3

Price of Sprite = $1 per can

From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3

Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:

Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8

Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.

Concord Corporation reported the following year-end information: Beginning work in process inventory $1080000 Beginning raw mate

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Concord Corporation's cost of goods manufactured for the year is $2,490,000

Explanation:

For computing the cost of goods manufactured, we have to use the formula which is given below:

= Opening Work in progress inventory + Direct material used + direct labor + manufacturing overhead - ending work in progress inventory

In the given question, the direct material used is not given, so we have to compute it. The formula is given below:

= Opening balance of raw material inventory + Purchase of raw material - ending balance of raw material inventory

= $300,000 + $930,000 - $480,000

= $750,000

And, the other values will remain the same.

So, the answer would be equal to

= $1,080,000 + $750,000 + $870,000 + $690,000 - $900,000

= $2,490,000

Hence, Concord Corporation's cost of goods manufactured for the year is $2,490,000

Norris Co. has developed an improved version of its most popular product. To get this improvement to the market, will cost $48 m

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$1.0725 Million

Explanation:

So now

Net Present Value = Annuity value of the even cash inflow - Investment

Here

Investment is $48 Million

Annuity Value of $13.5 Million Cash Inflow = $13.5 Million * Annuity factor for 5 years at 11.66%

Annuity factor = (1 - (1 + r)^ -n) / r

Here

r is 11.66% (Step1) and n is 5 years

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 11.66%)^-5) / 11.66%

Annuity Factor = 3.635

By putting values in the above equation, we have:

Net Present Value = $13.5 Million * 3.635 - $48 Million

NPV = $1.0725 Million

Step1: Find r which Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

Weighted Average Cost of capital

= Value of Debt / (V of debt + V of equity) * After tax cost of debt PLUS

(Value of equity (Value of Debt / (V of debt + V of equity) * cost of equity

Here

Post tax cost of debt = Pre tax cost of debt * (1 + Tax rate)

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1- 30%) = 6.3%

The debt to equity ratio is 25% which means equity is 100% and debt is 25%.

So

Value of debt is 25%

value of equity is 100%

and total value of capital structure is 125%

This means

WACC = (25% / 125% * 6.3%) + (100% / 125% * 13%)

= 1.26% + 10.4% = 11.66%
