Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal,

subscribers could receive the monthly newsletter throughout their lives by paying a flat fee of $480. The one-year subscription rate of $40 would continue to apply to new and existing subscribers who choose to subscribe on an annual basis. Assume that the average age of Evans Ltd.'s current subscribers is 38 and their average life expectancy is 78 years. Evans Ltd.'s average interest rate on long-term debt is 12%.
Using the information given, calculate the present value of a lifetime membership for an average. (Round PV factors to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd  average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

When ________, business firms will collectively supply a lower quantity of output at any given price, and the supply curve will
Ganezh [65]

When <u>cost of production increase </u>  business firms will supply lower quantity of output

<h3>Effect of production cost on prices </h3>

When the cost of production increases, producers will tend to produce a lesser quantity of goods and services and this is cause an increase in demand over supply in the open market.,

An increase in demand without a corresponding increase in supply will cause the supply curve to shift to the left.

Hence we can conclude that When <u>cost of production increase </u>  business firms will supply lower quantity of output

B.F. Goodrich has been manufacturing and marketing automotive tires for over one hundred years. It spends much of its marketing
hjlf

Answer:

maturity

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the tires are in the maturity stage of their product life cycle. This is the longest stage in the product life cycle in which the introduction and growth stages has already passed and the product advertisements have minimal impact on sales since people have already seen the product. This seems to be the case since Goodrich has sold it's tires for more than a hundred years and only focuses on short term marketing.

In taking a physical inventory at the end of Year 1, Grant Company forgot to count certain units and understated ending inventor
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a. Overstates Year 1 cost of goods sold.

b. Understates Year 1 net income

c. Understates Year 2 cost of goods sold

Explanation:

a. The formula for Calculating the Cost of Goods sold is;

<em>Cost of Goods Sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing inventory.</em>

If the closing inventory is understated, it will reduced the amount being subtracted from Purchases and Opening inventory which would means that Cost of Goods sold will be overstated.

b. The Cost of goods sold is deducted from sales to give Gross profit. If Cost of goods is overstated, it will reduce Gross Profit higher than it should. A lower Gross Profit equates to a lower Net Income.

c. Going by the formula in <em>a;</em>

<em>Cost of Goods Sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing inventory.</em>

In Year 2, the understated Year 1 closing stock will become the understated Year 2 Opening stock. With the opening stock understated, the Cost of goods will be understated as well because Opening stock is meant to increase Cost of goods sold as the formula shows. If it is understated, the amount that it will add will be understated as well.
