Answer:

the restaurant industry has been slow to adopt data analytic. Rising food and labor costs are also forcing restaurants to become more efficient.Technology must and is playing a key role to optimize the bottom line and provide a great guest experience

Explanation:

25% of those restaurants surveyed indicated they plan to spend more money and time on technology in 2016. While 4 out of 5 of these same participants also admitted that technology makes them better by: increasing sales, improved productivity, and provides a competitive advantage.

Based on the survey responses mentioned above, there seems to be a high level awareness that technology and best practices will bring real value to a restaurant’s operations; but then perhaps a gap that leads to inaction when it comes to purchasing and implementing technology. When it comes to technology solutions designed to improve your pre-employment, onboarding, tax credit screening, I-9, and unemployment management process, Equifax can serve as a resource by providing best practices, resources, and solutions to help solve for your challenges.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 8.22%

Explanation:

Cost of equity = Dividend per share /current market value + growth rate of dividend

Cost of equity = 2/90 + 6%

Cost of equity = 0.0222 + 6%

Cost of equity =0.0222 + 0.06

Cost of equity = 0.0822

Cost of equity = 8.22%

DASH Airlines is considering the addition of a flight from Red Cloud to David City. The total cost of the flight would be $1,100

Talja [164]

Answer: add this flight because marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs.

Explanation:

Since the total cost of the flight would be $1,100, of which $800 are fixed costs already incurred, then the variable cost in this case will be )$1100 - $800) = $300.

Since the expected revenues from the flight are $600, thus implies that the total revenue exceeds total variable cost and therefore Dash should add the flight because total revenue is more than total variable cost and the marginal revenue exceeds marginal costs.

New York City limits the number of taxi cabs that can legally operate in the city. The most likely result of this practice is th

stich3 [128]

Answer:

cab fares will be higher.

Explanation:

The supply of cabs would fall as a result of the limit. The fall in supply would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve for cabs.

As a result, equilibrium price (cab fares) would increase and equilibrium quantity would fall.

subway is a substitute for cabs

Due to the increase in the price of cabs, there would be an increase in the demand for subway. This would lead to a rise in equilibrium price and quantity

kicyunya [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Debt = D ÷ (E + D)

= 0.8 ÷ (1 + 0.8)

= 0.4444

Now

Weight of equity = 1 - Debt

= 1 - 0.4444

= 0.5556

As per Dividend discount model

Price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)

40 = $2 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.06)

Cost of equity = 11%

Cost of debt

K = N

Let us assume the par value be $1,000

Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon) ÷ (1 + YTM)^k] + Par value ÷ (1 + YTM)^N

k=1

K =25

$804 =∑ [(7 × $1000 ÷ 100)/(1 + YTM ÷ 100)^k] + $1000 ÷ (1 + YTM ÷ 100)^25

k=1

YTM = 9

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)

= 9 × (1 - 0.21)

= 7.11

WACC = after tax cost of debt × W(D) + cost of equity ×W(E)

= 7.11 × 0.4444 + 11 × 0.5556

= 9.27%

As we can see that the WACC is lower than the return so it should be undertake the expansion

Board Company has a foreign subsidiary that began operations at the start of 2017 with assets of 155,000 kites (the local curren

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a. The Board would report translation adjustment of -$3,138.

b. See the journal entries and explanation below.

c. Net translation adjustment is -$1,138.

Explanation:

a. Assume that the kite is this subsidiary's functional currency. What translation adjustment would Board report for the year 2017?

Note: See the attached file for the calculation of translation adjustment.

The board would report a negative (debit) translation adjustment of $3,138. That is,

Translation adjustment = -$3,138

b. Assume that on October 1,2017, Board entered into a forward exchange contract to hedge the net investment in this subsidiary. On that date, Board agreed to sell 200,000 kites in three months at a forward exchange rate of $0.76/1 kite. Prepare the journal entries required by this forward contract.

Board Company

Journal Entries

Date Account titles and Explanation Debit ($) Credit ($)

01 Oct 17 (No entry)

12 Dec 17 Forward contract 2,000

Translation adjustment (positive) (w.1) 2,000

(To record forward contract change in the value to adjust translation adjustment.)

12 Dec 17 Foreign currency (kites) (w.2) 152,000

Cash 152,000

(To record 200,000 kites purchased at the spot rate of $0.76)

12 Dec 17 Cash 154,000

Foreign Currency (kites) 152,000

Forward contract 2,000

(To record 200,000 kites delivered, $154,000 received, and close the forward contract account.)

Workings:

w.1: Translation adjustment = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * (Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite - Exchange rate on December 1, 2017) = 200,000 * (0.76 - 0.75) = $2,000

w.2: Foreign Currency (kites) = Number of kites agreed to sell in three months * Agreed exchange rate on October 1, 2017 per kite = 200,000 * 0.76 = $152,000

c. Compute the net translation adjustment for Board to report in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year 2017 under this second set of circumstances.

This can be calculated as follows:

Net translation adjustment = Negative translation adjustment in part a + Positive translation adjustment in part b (i.e. w.1) = -$3,138 + 2,000 = -$1,138

Therefore, net translation adjustment is -$1,138.
