The manager of a shoe store noticed that mukluks were flying off the shelf in anticipation of another exceptionally cold winter.

On November 1, the manager sent an order on the store's own form to a local manufacturer of mukluks for 100 pairs, at a cost of $90 a pair, the price listed in the manufacturer's catalogue. The manager filled in the delivery date as December 1 and signed the form. The next day, November 2, the manufacturer mailed a signed confirmation on its own form, which was the same in all respects except that it included a clause calling for arbitration of all disputes. Having found mukluks for $80 per pair from another supplier, the store manager phoned the manufacturer on November 4 and stated that the store no longer wished to order the boots. The manufacturer responded that it was too late, and that the store should expect delivery as promised in December. On November 5, the store manager received the manufacturer's confirmation. If the store manager subsequently refuses the manufacturer's delivery on December 1, who will prevail if the manufacturer sues the shoe store for breach of contract

Answer: The manufacturer, because the shoe store's revocation of its offer was too late.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario given in the question, if the store manager subsequently refuses the manufacturer's delivery on December 1, and thee manufacturer sues the shoe store for breach of contract, the manufacturer will prevail because the shoe store's revocation of its offer was too late.

According to the mailbox rule under the contract law, this is the default rule that's used to determine when an offer is considered to be accepted and when there's communication of the acceptance. In this case, the revocation is too late therefore the manufacturer will prevail.

Explanation:

The value of the settlement today is the sum of the present value (PV) of cash inflows discounted at the discount rate of 5.7 %.

Year                                                   PV

1              35,000 × 1.057^(-1)   = 33112.58

2                39,000× 1.057^(-2) = 34907.16

3.               80,000× 1.057^(-3)  = 67743.09

4                 120,000 × 1.057^(-4) =96134.94

The Pv of the total cash in flow =33,112.58  +  34,907.17  +  67,743.09  +  96,134.95  =  231,897.79

Parisian Cosmetics Company is planning a one-month campaign for September to promote sales of one of its two cosmetics products.
leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.) Promote Moisturizer or Promote Perfume

21-Aug

Promote Moisturizer Promote Perfume Differential Effect

(Alternative 1) (Alternative 2) (Alternative 2)

Revenues 22,000 units x $55.32 = $1,217,040 20,000 units x $59.64 = $1,192,800 ($24,240)

Costs:  

Direct Materials 22,000 units x $9.05 = $199,100 20,000 units x $14 = $280,000 ($80,900)

Direct Labor 22,000 units x $3.06 = $67,320 20,000 units x $4.93 = $98,600 ($31,280)

Variable Factory Overhead 22,000 units x $3.04 = $66,880 20,000 units x $4.93 = $98,600 ($31,720)

Variable Selling expenses 22,000 units x $16.02 = $199,100 20,000 units x $14.97 = $299,400 $53,040

Sales Promotion $136,430 $136,430 $0

Income (Loss) $394,870 $279,770 ($115,100)

Alternative 1 income = $394,870

Alternative 2 income = $279,770

Alternative 3 income = $115,100

2.) The company should promote moisturizer (Alternative 1)

3.) The decision of the manager is absolutely wrong as the manager is of the view that operating income will increase by $82,170 because he has considered the fixed expenses too which are not going to occur as we can see in the question. Hence the fixed expenses is irrelevant to cost to choose the alternative. As per the differential analysis, Alternative 1 i.e to sale moisturizer extra with the help of the promotion expenses.

Suppose DeepMind Inc. will pay $1.50 per share in dividends next year. The require return on the stock is 10% and its dividends
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

C. All else being equal, the growth rate of the dividends is greater than 2%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the fair price of a stock with a constant growth in dividends is as follows,

  • P = D1 / r-g
  • Where D1 is the dividend next period
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends
  • P = 1.5 / 0.1 - 0.02 = 18.75
  • We are taking 1.5 as D1 as it is the dividend per share DeepMind will pay next year.

So, we will be willing to pay more than 18.75 if the fair price per share today is greater than 18.75. We check all the 3 options.

A. say the required rate is 10.1%

  • P = 1.5 / (0.101 - 0.02) = 18.52
  • So if the required rate of return increases from 10%, the fair price per share is falling and we will be willing to pay less than 18.75 per share.

B. P = 1.2 / (0.1 - 0.02) = 15

  • If D1 = 1.2,the fair price per share will be 15 which is less so we will not be willing to pay more than 15 for such share.

C. Say the growth rate in dividends is 2.1%

  • P = 1.5 / (0.1 - 0.021) = 18.99
  • The fair price per share increased to 18.99 if the growth rate in dividend increases by 0.1 percentage point. Thus, C is the correct answer
