Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market where there is only single producer or seller. There are restrictions on entry in the market. The firms in the monopoly are price makers. That is why they have a downward sloping demand curve.

There are no close substitutes for the product and there is only one seller in the monopoly.

The firm may earn profit or loss or profits in the short run based on its revenue and cost conditions.

So, all the options given are correct.

Complete question :

A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $350,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $150,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $900,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $450,000, the building for $400,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $500,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method.

Answer: $182,800

Explanation:

Given the following :

land costs = $350,000

building costs = $600,000

equipment costs = $250,000

additional working capital = $150,000

Expected sales per year for 10 years = $900,000

Salvage value After (10years):

Cost of land = $450,000

Building = $400,000

Equipment = $50,000

All working capital will be recovered at end of year, Hence, working capital will be $150,000

Annual expenses = $500,000

MARR = 15% per annum

Total amount invested = $(350,000 + 600,000 + 250,000 + 150,000) = $1,350,000

Expected sales per Annum = annual revenue = $900,000

Expenditure per year = $500,000

Net income = Revenue - Expenditure

Net income = $900,000 - $500,000 = $400,000

Worth or valuation of investment after 10 years :

($450,000 + $50,000 + $400,000 + $150,000)

= $1,050,000

Hence,

Capital recovery factor : (A/P, 15%, 10) = 0.199

Sinking fund table : (A/F, 15%, 10) =0.049

NET ANNUAL WORTH :

-Initial investment(A/P, 15%, 10) + annual net income + salvage value(A/F, 15%,10)

= - 1,350,000(0.199) + 400,000 + 1,050,000(0.049)

= $182,800

The investment is economically justified as the net annual worth yields a positive value.

While the evidence suggests that over long periods of time that stocks will outperform bonds, individuals with a long-term inves
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Stocks and Bonds

Yes.  It is a rational behavior for individuals with a long-term investment horizon to choose to invest in bonds rather than investing in stocks despite the overwhelming "evidence that suggests that over long periods of time stocks still outperform bonds."

Rational behavior involves making rational choices that provide optimal levels of benefit or utility for the individual. People who make rational choices would rather choose bonds with lower risks and returns than stocks with higher risks and returns.

Explanation:

Every rational investor would prefer to reduce her risk exposure instead of increasing it.  Every investor is also aware that  investments with higher risks attract higher returns.  However, determining the certainty of the returns is difficult.

Explanation:

Description       Estimated life       Cost        Amortization per year

Sales office           10 years         $47,000           $4,700

Warehouse          25 years         $75,000           $7,500

total                                                                      $14,000

Even though the useful life or the warehouse and parking lot is longer than 10 years, since the lease contract is only for 10 years, then it must be depreciated in 10 years.

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%
