Full question:
In some states and localities, scalping is against the law although enforcement is spotty
A. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a weakly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets.
B. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a strongly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets
Answer and Explanation:
A. For the first scenario, a weakly enforced antiscalping law would still allow the resale of tickets as it is not enforced properly. Therefore it's effect on price would remain as though there were no laws restricting scalping( scalping: price increase created by artificial shortage and bulk resale of tickets) . See the attached diagram for the supply and demand curve and price increase as a result of a weak antiscalping law
B. For the second scenario, scalping has no effect on price as antiscalping laws are strong and therefore there is no scalping. Price remains the same and does not change.
In diagram A for first scenario price increases from p1 to p2 and quantity decreases from q1 to q2 to indicate increase in price and quantity decrease for shortage respectively. This shows the effect of scalping on the market with weak antiscalping laws
In diagram B, price and quantity remain the same to show strong antiscalping laws
Answer:
The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%
Explanation:
Estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model + Cost of Equity) / 2
Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model = Risk Free rate + Market Risk Premium * Beta
= 4.9 % + ( 6% * 1.2)
= 0.049 + 0.06 * 1.2
= 0.049 + 0.072
= 0.1210
= 12.10%
Cost of Equity = (Expected Dividend/Price) + Growth Rate
= [( $ 1.30 * 1.08) / $ 36] + 8%
= 0.039 + 0.08
= 0.1190
= 11.90%
The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (12.10 % + 11.90 % )/ 2
= 24% / 2
= 12%
Hence, the best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%
Answer:
<u>cost to be accounted for:</u>
beginning cost: 180,000
added cost 756,000
total cost <em> 936,000</em>
<u>cost accounted for:</u>
ending WIP 30,000 x 5.2 = 156,000
trasnsferred-out: 150,000 x 5.2 = 780,000
total cost accounted for <em> 936,000</em>
Explanation:
150,000 completed
50,000 at 60%
weighted average equivalent unit:
complete + percetage of completion ending WIP
150,000 + 50,000 x 60% = 180,000
Cost per unit:
936,000 / 180,000 = 5.2 dollar per unit
we should match the total cost pool with the ending WIP and trasnferred out units
Answer:
Economies of scale
Explanation:
Economies of scale refers to reducing total costs per unit by increasing total output. All companies have certain fixed costs, some companies have higher fixed costs than others, but they always exist. When you are producing something, the cost equation is production costs = variable costs per unit + average fixed costs per unit.
Variable costs vary directly with output, while fixed costs do not, e.g. salaries can be fixed, depreciation, rent, interests, etc. The higher the output, the lower the average fixed cost per unit.
Also, sometimes variable costs can also decrease as total output increases. E.g. you can get higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of materials and supplies.
Answer:
A) $1384.24
Explanation:
Terminal Value = Free Cash Flow (FCF) of last forecast *(1+ perpetual growth rate)/(discount rate – perpetual growth rate)
FCF of last forecast = $88*(1+10%)^2 = $106.48
Gonzales Corporationʹs expected terminal enterprise value in year 2 = $106.48 * (1+4%)/(12%-4%) = $1382.24
