Answer:

a.Titanium = $2,890,500

Platinum = $5,185,000

b. Platinum is more profitable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:

For Titanium

Total gross margin = 5,000 × $1,590

= $7,950,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 5,000 ÷ 200) + (1% × $7,950,000)

= $1,700,000 + $79,500

= $1,779,500

b.

Promotion cost = $2,850,000 × 80%

= $2,280,000

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Promotion cost

= $7,950,000 - $1,779,500 - $2,280,000

= $2,890,500

For Platinum

Total Gross margin = 20,000 × $ 325

= $6,500,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 20,000 ÷ 2,000) + (1% × $6,500,000 )

= $680,000 + $65,000

= $745,000

Cost of promotion = $2,850,000 × 20%

= $570,000

Since, 80% is allocated for promotion expenses of titanium so we assume 20% for Platinum

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total Gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Cost of promotion

= $6,500,000  - $745,000 - $570,000

= $5,185,000

B. Since, Platinum is higher than Titanium. So, Platinum is more profitable.

Suppose you started a new all-equity financed company that is expected to generate an ROE of 15% indefinitely. The current book
Luda [366]

Answer:

The value of the stock at start-up = $67.5

Explanation:

According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return  

This principle can be applied as follows:  

The value of stock today is the present value of the future return discounted at the required rate of return

The return can be computed as the ROE × Book value of share

Return = 15%× 30 =4.5

Price of stock today = D× (1+g)/r-g

D= current return, g- growth rate, r-required rate of return

DATA: D= 4.5, g= 5%, r= 12%

PV  = 4.5× (1.05)/(0.12-0.05)

= 67.5

The value of the stock at start-up = $67.5

Maurice can drive or fly from Jacksonville, Florida to Atlanda, Georgia, for a one-day business trip. If he drives, he will be a
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

c. $150.

Explanation:

the extra amount of hours Maurice can work taking a flight will be of 5 hours

(8 hours taking a plane against 3 hours if driving)

As the income per hour is 30 dollar it can generate;

5 hours x $30 per hour = $150

Maurice will only travel by plane if it generates the same or more income than the driving thus, a differencial price of less than 150 dollars will provide Maurice with a net gain. Also we should consider that if Maurice drives his car it is taking a depreication hit per mile while driving that is being ignoer to keep the assignment simple. But considering that the amount of differential income could be higher than $150
