Answer: to protect the economic freedom of all of its citizens

Explanation:

The above quote by Adam Smith was him criticizing the common practice in those days of nations trying to control the spending habits of their citizens by passing restrictive laws and limiting the importation and production of certain goods and services.

It would therefore support the U.S. policy of protecting the economic freedom of her citizens such that they may trade whatever it is that they want - so long as it is legal - without restrictions by the government.

In the past year, TVG had revenues of $2.95 million, cost of goods sold of $2.45 million, and depreciation expense of $178,000.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

3.5

Explanation:

Computation for the firm’s times interest earned ratio

Revenues$ 2.95 million

Cost of goods sold$ 2.45 million

Depreciation expense$ 178,000.00

Book values of Debt outstanding$ 1.15 million

Interest rate8.00

First step is to calculate for the EBIT

Using this formula

EBIT= Revenues -(Cost of goods sold +Depreciation expense$ 178,000.00)

EBIT=$2,950,000-($2,450,000+$178,000)

EBIT=$2,950,000- $2,628,000

EBIT=$322,000

Second step is to find the Interest

Using this formula

Interest =Debt outstanding with book value ×Interest rate

Let plug in the formula

Interest =$1,150,000×8%

Interest =$92,000

Now let find the firm’s times interest earned ratio

Using this formula

Firm’s times interest earned ratio=EBIT/INTEREST

Where,

EBIT=$322,000

INTEREST=$92,000

Let plug in the formula

Firm’s times interest earned ratio=$322,000/$92,000

Firm’s times interest earned ratio =3.5

Therefore the firm’s times interest earned ratio will be 3.5

Universal Laser, Inc., just paid a dividend of $3.10 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 6 p
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ans. The current price of the stock is $56.82

Explanation:

Hi, well, the problem here is that we have different discount rates, in other words the required rate of return for the stock changes several times, therefore we are going to break this problem in 3 parts, or bring to present value all the cash flows in 3 steps. Let´s start with the value of the dividends.

We have to use the following formula.

Dn=D_{(n-1)} *(1+g)

Where, D(n-1) is last dividend and Dn is the dividend that we are looking for, for example, D1 = 3.10*(1+0.06)=3.29, D2=3.29*(1+0.06)=3.48, and so forth. The amount to pay on dividends per share is,

D1=3.29; D2=3.48; D3=3.69; D4=3.91; D5=4.15; D6=4.40; D(7)=4.66

Since the first 3 years are to be discounted at a 15%, this is how the formula should look like.

PV(1)=\frac{D1}{(1+r(1))^{1} } +\frac{D2}{(1+r(1))^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r(1))^{3} }

PV(1)=\frac{3.29}{(1+0.15)^{1} } +\frac{3.48}{(1+0.15)^{2} } +\frac{3.69}{(1+0.15)^{3} }=7.92

Now, for the second part, we have to bring all cash flows to year 3 at r(2)=13% and then bring it to present value at r(1)=15%. This is because we have 2 different discount rates, this is as follows.

PV(2)=(\frac{D4}{(1+r(2))^{1} } +\frac{D5}{(1+r(2))^{2} } +\frac{D6}{(1+r(2))^{3} })*\frac{1}{((1+r(1)^{3} }

PV(2)=(\frac{3.91}{(1+0.13)^{1} } +\frac{4.15}{(1+0.13)^{2} } +\frac{4.40}{(1+0.13)^{3} })*\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } =6.42

Finally, we need to bring all the future cash flows from year 7 and beyond, notice that we need to use the return rate r(3) to bring everything to year 6, then we have to bring it to year 3 and then to present value, everything as follows.

PV(3)=(\frac{D7}{(r(3)-g)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(2))^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(1))^{3} } )

PV(3)=(\frac{4.66}{(0.11-0.06)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } )=42.48

So, the price of the stock is PV(1) + PV(2) + PV(3), or:

Price=7.92+6.42+42.48=56.82

Price= $56.82/share

Best of luck.

Account analysis, high-low. Luwak Coffees wants to find an equation to estimate monthly utility costs. Luwak has been in busines
Inessa [10]

Question Completion:

See attached.

Answer:

Luwak Coffees

1. Water bill is fixed.  Electricity bill is variable.  Telephone bill is mixed.

2. High-Low method:

Water bill = $120 + 0q

Electricity bill = $0.3q

Telephone bill = $140 + $0.02q

where q = the quantity of each cost consumed.

3. Water bill = $120 + 0q

Electricity bill = $0.3q

Telephone bill = $140 + $0.02q

= $260 + $0.32q

4. No solution.  There is no relationship with machine hours, employees, and units with utility bills.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Month           Electricity Bill    Kilowatt Hours Used

January            $ 720                       2,400        

February          $ 840                       2,800

March             $1,098                       3,660

April                  $ 810                       2,700

May                 $1,176                       3,920

June               $1,248                       4,160

July                $1,044                       3,480

August           $1,194                       3,980

September   $1,260                       4,200

October        $1,230                       4,100

November    $1,188                        3,960

December  $1,266                        4,220

Telephone Bill $184.

Low cost = Jan  $ 720                2,400

High cost = December  $1,266         4,220

High cost = December  $1,266         4,220

Low cost = Jan                $ 720         2,400

Difference =                     $546         1,820

Variable cost per unit = $546/1,820 = $0.3 per kwh

Fixed cost, using December's figures:

Variable cost = $1,266

Fixed cost = $0 ($1,266 - 4,220 * $0.3)

Telephone bill:

High, June $197.60     2,880

Low, April     178.20      1,960

Difference $18.40        920

Variable cost = $18.40/920 = $0.02

Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost

= $197.60 - (2,880 * $0.02)

= $140

The accounts receivable balance is $1,000,000. After adjustment, the allowance for doubtful account balance is $40,000. Net Sale
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

$960,000

Explanation:

The net realizable value is the total cash that the company will expect to receive from their accounts receivable. The net realizable value (NRV) can be determined by:

NRV = total accounts receivable - allowance for doubtful accounts = $1,000,000 - $40,000 = $960,000
