Hanson, Inc. requires its marketing managers to submit estimated cost-volume-profit data on all requests for new products, or ex

pansions of a product line. Nancy Stephens is a new manager. Her calculations show a fixed cost for a new project at $100,000 and a variable cost of $5. Since the selling price is only $15 for the proposed product, 10,000 units would need to be sold to break-even. That is approximately twice the volume estimate for the first year. She shares her dismay with Patti Patterson, another manager, Patti strongly advises her to revise her estimates. She points out that several of the costs that had been classified as fixed costs could be considered variable since they are step costs and mixed costs. When the data has been revised classifying those costs as variable costs, the project appears viable.a. Who are the stakeholders in this decision?b. Is it ethical for Nancy to revise the costs as indicate? Briefly explain.c. What should Nancy do?

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given points:

Explanation:

For point a:

Following are the two categories of stakeholders:

  • Primary actors were house located stakeholders, such as investors, consumers, vendors, lenders, and employees, who engage in criminal interactions with customers.
  • Secondary games are generally external stakeholders, who are affected or may influence their behavior, such instance the public at large, communities, activities, business support groups, and the press even if they're not involved in the direct economic transaction with the firm.

For point b:

Fixed expenses do not represent an essential task. Rather, they involve costs related to the sale or the administration costs of a company. These expenses are charged in the way they receive place. All direct material, direct labor, or overheads related to the production of the product or service were variable expenses. If an item is not sold, those costs were documented throughout the inventory of the company or reported as an asset in the balance sheet. The reclassification from fixed into variable costs will shift the expenses from the financial statement expense to the portion of the stock in hand, and will thus increase profit. Thus, Nancy also isn't planning to classify those costs though they will delay these charges in order to manipulate their accounts to achieve their goals.

For point c:

I will analyze these "mix expenses" to assess fixed, semi-fixed and changeable elements. Evaluate additional semi-fixed costs then draw variable costs from them. Which would give me only variable costs, with fixed costs remaining. That's both quite fair and ethical.

John would like to move from the city into the suburbs and has been saving up a large down payment for a home. Which is the most
MrMuchimi
The most cost effective way for John to buy a house in the suburbs is:

a.Move to the suburbs and rent a house for one year before purchasing a home.

This is to test the waters. During this time, he has to acclimatize himself into living in a new environment. He has to discover the pros and cons of living in the suburbs compared to living in the city like travel time in going to work, etc.

If after a year, he finds its more beneficial to live in the suburbs, then he can buy a house there. On the other hand, if he finds it costly to live in the suburbs compared to living in the city, he simply has to pay the necessary rent and utility bills, pack up his bags, and go home.

What would be the consequences if managers of a firm evaluated a project based on its actual dollar cash flows, but used a real
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Real rate of returns are lower than nominal rates of return, therefore, using a real discount rate would overestimate a project's net present value. This could result in unprofitable projects being accepted because the NPV was erroneously calculated. If you want to use a real discount rate, you must first convert cash flows to real dollars.

For example, nominal discount rate is 10%, inflation rate is 5%, real discount rate is 5%.

Initial outlay $100

NCF year 1 = $40

NCF year 2 = $40

NCF year 3 = $40

Using the real discount rate, the NPV = $8.93

Using the nominal discount rate, the NPV = -$0.53

To take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity, an investor would
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The answer is III) make simultaneous trades in two markets without any net investment.

Explanation:

Arbitrage is simultaneously buying an asset ( may be currency, securities...) in a low-priced market and sell it in a high-priced market.

As a results, the investor earns profit from price differences in the two markets without risk and net investment. It is because the two trading happens at the same time once price differences in any two markets are recognized ( arbitrage opportunities recognized) and the proceed of selling the asset is immediately used for financing/returning to the buying of the asset.

Thus, (III) is the correct answer.
