B. Economic conditions

They are the conditions of our economy at a certain point in time. The conditions change based on how well a region is doing and can be predicted. Some things that can influence economy conditions are GDP, unemployment rates, inflations/deficits, and so forth.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Period     Demand    Weight    Demand × weight

1               3,500         0.15        525

2              3,800         0.20        760

3              3,500         0.25        875

4              4,000         0.40        1,600

Total                                          3,760                      

We simply multiplied the demand with the weight to get the total.

Media planners typically use psychographic classifications to define their target audiences and rely heavily on primary research
kati45 [8]
<span>To properly target potential customers, it is necessary to know not only what the needs are of the people they're advertising, they also need to know how the item will be used. There are multiple reasons that a customer would buy an item or service, so I assume media planners would need to use psychographic classifications to know who their target audience is and what they would like. How heavily planners rely on these classsifications probably effects the response they received from the audience.</span>

Larry is looking for ways to increase the number of different tasks that an employee performs without increasing task complexity
enot [183]

Answer:

Job rotation

Explanation:

Job rotation means moving employees from one job to another so that they are trained to do multiple roles. This way, the tasks of each job stay the same and employees learn these basic tasks for each job they try. An example is a grocery store where the greeter is cross-trained to be a cashier, to collect carts from the parking lot, and to unload boxes onto the shelves.

Sid purchased an automobile for personal
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Part A. $1200

Part B. $1200  

Explanation:

Part A.

Under MACRS rules, the depreciation rate for the 5 year recovery period asset would be:

Year 1    20%

Year 2   32%

Year 3   19.2%

Year 4   11.52%

Year 5   11.52%

Year 6   5.76%

This means that the first year MACRS depreciation deduction would be 20% which is $1200 ($6000 * 20%).

Part B.

If Sid does not elect Section 179 expensing then the depreciation would be calculated using straight line basis.

The depreciation would be:

Depreciaiton Expense = $6000 / 5 Years life   = $1200

The Corner Bakery has a bond issue outstanding that matures in 7 years. The bonds pay interest semi-annually. Currently, the bon
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Ans. The after tax cost of this bond is 2.09%

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to establish the cash flow of the bond, so we can find the after tax cost of the bond. After we find the after tax cash flow of the bond, we must use the IRR function of MS Excel to find the semi-annual cost of this debt, but, all after tax debts should be presented in annual basis. Let me walk you through the process. First, let me show you how it should look.

Face Value      100  

price              101,4  

years                7 years  

Coupon                9%  

Coupon                4,5% semi-annually  

tax                      30%  

   

Per       Cash Flow After Tax  

0                 101,4 101,4  

1                   -4,5 -3,15  

2                   -4,5 -3,15  

3                   -4,5 -3,15  

4                   -4,5 -3,15  

5                   -4,5 -3,15  

6                   -4,5 -3,15  

7                   -4,5 -3,15  

8                   -4,5 -3,15  

9                  -4,5 -3,15  

10                  -4,5 -3,15  

11                  -4,5 -3,15  

12                  -4,5 -3,15  

13                  -4,5 -3,15  

14               -104,5 -73,15  

   

Cost of Debt 1,04% semi-annually

Cost of Debt 2,09% annually

Ok, now, as you can see, there are 14 periods, that is because the coupon is paid semi-annually, the way to find the cash flow (I mean, the bond´s coupon) is:

Coupon (semi-annual)=(Face Value)x\frac{0.09}{2} =4.5

At the end (period 14), we need to add the face value and the coupon, that is $100+$4.5=$104.5

Now, to find the value of the third column (after-tax cost), we do the following.

After-tax-Cost=Couponx(1-taxes)=4.5(1-0.3)=3.15\\

Now, consider this, you are receiving 101.4 for every 100 of debt, that means that you are receiving more money than the emission value, and paying interests over 100 instead of 101.4, that is why we have to use the IRR excel function to find out the semi-annual cost of debt. That is, 1.04%.

Now, to make this an effective annual rate, we calculate it like this.

EffectiveAnnualRate=(1+semi-annual Rate)^{\frac{1}{2} }  -1=(1+0.0104)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.0209

Finally, the after-tax cost of this debt is = 2.09%

Best of luck.
