Answer:

Gross Profit Margin: 53 % and 54%

Inventory days outstanding: 249 days and 252 days.

Explanation:

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales * 100

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

Gross Profit :

Year 1 : 10,498,448 - 4,860,309 = 5,638,139

Year 2 : 8,277,782 - 3,804,031 = 4,473,751

GP margin :

Year 1 = 53%

Year 2 = 54%

Days of inventory : Average inventory / Cost of Sales * 365 days

Year 1 : 3,320,864 / 4,860,309 * 365 = 249 days

Year 2 : 2,632,898 / 3,804,031 *365 = 252 days

A company’s unit costs based on 100000 units are: Variable costs $75 Fixed costs 30 The normal unit sales price per unit is $165

Simora [160]

Answer:

$81,000

Explanation:

The computation of the incremental profit (loss) from accepting the order is shown below:

Contribution per unit = $165 - $75

= $90

Now

Loss on contribution for giving up regular sales is

= $4,100 × 90

= $369,000

Now Incremental contribution for special order is

= ($135 - $75) × 7,500

= $450,000

So,

Incremental profit is

= $450,000 - $369,000

= $81,000

A university is trying to determine what price to charge for tickets to football games. At a price of $24 per ticket, attendan

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: Price per ticket should be charged in order to maximize revenue is $15.

70000 people will attend at this price.

Explanation:

Let 'x' represent the decrease .

Using the given information,

Price per ticket = 24 - 3x

Average no. of people that watch the game = 40000 + 10000x

Additional money spent by every person = 6(40000 + 10000x)

Revenue [R(x)] = Price per ticket $\times$ Average no. of people that watch the game + Additional money spent

Revenue [R(x)] = (24 - 3x) $\times$ (40000 + 10000x) + 6(40000 + 10000x)

On solving the above equation we get ,

Revenue [R(x)] = -30000 $x^{2}$ + 180000x + 1200000

In order to find the critical point we'll differentiate the following with respect to x;

R'(x) = -60000x + 180000

∵ R'(x) = 0

x = 3

Thus, the price per ticket that should be charged in order to maximize revenue is (24 - 3 $\times$ 3 = 24 - 9 = $15)

People that will attend at this price = (40000 + 10000 $\times$ 3) = 70000

When Jill was asked, she chose cars over stomach cancer as the cause of more U.S. deaths per year. When asked why she chose the

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

C. availability.

Explanation:

The availability bias and misinterpretation is the result of increased frequency and omnipresence of information that does not reflect its importance or correctness.

Here, Jill is clouded by how much car deaths are propagated in the media, so she fails to realize the correct answer, despite the fact that stomach cancer could seem rational in her mind.

Instructions: Please make sure that you show all your work when solving the problems. Feel free to make any assumptions whenever

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The current price = $\dfrac{Dividend(D_o) \times (1+ Growth \ rate) }{\text{Cost of capital -Growth rate}}$

$15 = \dfrac{0.50 \times (1+ Growth rate)}{8\%-Growth rate}$

$15 \times (8 -Growth \ rate) = 0.50 +(0.50 \times growth \ rate)$

$1.20 - (15 \times Growth \ rate) = 0.50 + (0.50 \times growth \ rate)$

$0.70 = (15 \times growth \ rate) \\ \\ Growth \ rate = \dfrac{0.70}{15.50} \\ \\ Growth \ rate = 0.04516 \\ \\ Growth \ rate \simeq 4.52\% \\ \\$

2. The value of the stock

Calculate the earnings at the end of 5 years:

$Earnings (E_o) \times Dividend \ payout \ ratio = Dividend (D_o) \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) \times 35\% = \$0.50 \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) =\dfrac{\$0.50}{35\%} \\ \\ = \$1.42857$

$Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = Earnings (E_o) \times (1 + Growth \ rate)^{no \ of \ years} \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$1.42857 \times (1 + 12\%)^5 \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$2.51763$

Terminal value year 5 = $\dfrac{Earnings (E_5) \times (1+ Growth \ rate)}{Interest \ rate - Growth \ rate}$

$=\dfrac{\$2.51763\times (1+0.04516)}{8\%-0.04516}$

=$75.526

Discount all potential future cash flows as follows to determine the stock's value:

$\text{Value of stock today} =\bigg( \sum \limits ^{\text{no of years}}_{year =1} \dfrac{Dividend (D_o) \times 1 +Growth rate ) ^{\text{no of years}}}{(1+ interest rate )^{no\ of\ years} }$

$+ \dfrac{Terminal\ Value }{(1+interest \ rate )^{no \ of \ years}} \Bigg)$

$\implies \bigg(\dfrac{\$0.50\times (1 + 12\%)^1) }{(1+ 8\%)^{1} }+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^2 }{(1+8\% )^{2}}+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^3 }{(1+8\% )^{3}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^4 }{(1+8\% )^{4}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^5 }{(1+8\% )^{5}} + \dfrac{\$75.526}{(1+8\% )^{5}} \bigg )$

$\implies \bigg(\dfrac{\$0.5600}{1.0800}+\dfrac{\$0.62720}{1.16640}+\dfrac{\$0.70246}{1.2597}+\dfrac{\$0.78676}{1.3605}+\dfrac{\$0.88117}{1.4693}+ \dfrac{\$75.526}{1.4693} \bigg)$

=$ 54.1945

As a result, the analysts value the stock at $54.20, which is below their own estimates.

3. The value of the stock

Calculate the earnings at the end of 5 years:

$Earnings (E_o) \times Dividend payout ratio = Dividend (D_o) \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) \times 35\% = \$0.50 \\ \\ Earnings (E_o) =\dfrac{\$0.50}{35\%}\\ \\ = \$1.42857$

$Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = Earnings (E_o) \times (1 + Growth \ rate)^{no \ of \ years} \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$1.42857 \times (1 + 12\%)^5 \\ \\ Earnings (E_5) year \ 5 = \$2.51763 \\ \\$

Terminal value year 5 = $\dfrac{Earnings (E_5) \times (1+ Growth \ rate)\times dividend \ payout \ ratio}{Interest \ rate - Growth \ rate}$

$=\dfrac{\$2.51763\times (1+ 7 \%) \times 20\%}{8\%-7\%}$

=$53.8773

Discount all potential cash flows as follows to determine the stock's value:

$\text{Value of stock today} =\bigg( \sum \limits ^{\text{no of years}}_{year =1} \dfrac{Dividend (D_o) \times 1 + Growth rate ) ^{\text{no of years}}}{(1+ interest rate )^{no \ of\ years} }+ \dfrac{Terminal \ Value }{(1+interest \ rate )^{no \ of \ years }} \bigg)$

$\implies \bigg( \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1 + 12\%)^1) }{(1+ 8\%)^{1} }+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^2 }{(1+8\% )^{2}}+ \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^3 }{(1+8\% )^{3}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^4 }{(1+8\% )^{4}} + \dfrac{\$0.50\times (1+12\%)^5 }{(1+8\% )^{5}} + \dfrac{\$53.8773}{(1+8\% )^{5}} \bigg)$

$\implies \bigg (\dfrac{\$0.5600}{1.0800}+\dfrac{\$0.62720}{1.16640}+\dfrac{\$0.70246}{1.2597}+\dfrac{\$0.78676}{1.3605}+\dfrac{\$0.88117}{1.4693}+ \dfrac{\$53.8773}{1.4693} \bigg)$

=$39.460

As a result, the price is $39.460, and the other strategy would raise the value of the shareholders. Not this one, since paying a 100% dividend would result in a price of $54.20, which is higher than the current price.

Notice that the third question depicts the situation after 5 years, but the final decision will be the same since we are discounting in current terms. If compounding is used, the future value over 5 years is just the same as the first choice, which is the better option.

The presumption in the second portion is that after 5 years, the steady growth rate would be the same as measured in the first part (1).
