Answer:

Concept: Business Analysis

Demographics dont affect consumer purchasing decisions. Companies will market specifically to certain demographics sometimes, but its the strategies that the company employs that affect consumer purchasing decisions
Geographics affects consumer purchasing decisions because based on where you live you will need certain things that people who live in other places might not need. For example, if you live in new york city, marketers probably will not target you as much to purchase their four wheeler as they would someone who lives in the country.

Differentiated marketing when employed for different cultures and ethnicities becomes very difficult because many cultures are complex and have their own diversity. For example, when marketing to asians, marketers must take into account all the different cultures that come into play. The marketers must also be careful not to be offensive.

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

2013: 

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

2014: 

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation)

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

2015: 

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

2013:

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

2014: 

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

2015: 

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000

A municipal bond has yield to maturity of 4.83 percent. An investor with a marginal tax rate of 35 percent is indifferent betwee

mezya [45]

Answer: 7.43%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity simply refers to the total return that is expected on a bond as long as the bond is held till it matures.

In this case, since the investor is indifferent between this municipal bond and an otherwise identical taxable corporate bond, the yield to maturity of the corporate bond will be:

4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × ( 1- 35%)

4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × 65%

Corporate bond YTM = 4.83% / 65%

Corporate bond YTM = 0.0483/0.65

Corporate bond YTM = 7.43%

The yield to maturity of the corporate bond is 7.43%

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19

As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.

Explanation:

The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project. If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.

NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Cost

Where,

CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.

r is the required rate of return

NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17) + 3200 (1+0.17)^2 + 3200 (1+0.17)^3 +

3200 (1+0.17)^4 + 5700 (1+0.17)^5 - 9800

NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
