Answer:

Time Warner, Inc.

a.

                                     Turner      Home Box Office  Warner Bros.   Total

Segment Revenues

(in millions)                  $21,700            $22,200         $80,600      $124,500

Variable costs                 4,774                10,434           25,792           41,000

Contribution margin  $16,926               $11,766        $54,808        $83,500

Contribution ratio     78% (100 - 22)    53% (100 -47) 68% (100 -32)   67%

b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Segment Revenues

(in millions)

Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700

Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200

Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600

Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:

Turner 22%

Home Box Office 47%

Warner Bros. 32%

b) The contribution margin ratio for the three segments can easily be determined by subtracting the variable costs percentages from 100 for each segment instead of doing more computations (Contribution margin/Sales Revenue * 100).  But the results are the same for either method.

Vladimir [108]

Reverse logistics is the process by which businesses handle the return of consumer items for recycling or because they are defective.

Supply chain management that sends goods back from buyers to sellers or producers is known as reverse logistics. Reverse logistics are needed for procedures like returns or recycling after a customer receives a product. Reverse logistics begin at the customer and work their way backward through the supply chain to the producer or the distributor. Reverse logistics can also refer to procedures where the customer is in charge of the product's final disposal, such as recycling, refurbishing, or resale.

german

Answer:

it should call back the bonds as it will save $8.25

Explanation:

Bond Price can be calculated using PV function. After 3 years,

N = 2, PMT = 5% x 1000 = 50, FV = 1000, I/Y = 2%

=> Compute PV = $1,058.25

Without the call option, the bond would be worth $1,058.25. But the firm can buy those bonds at $1,050.

Hence, it should call back the bonds as it will save $8.25
