What happens to the price and the quantity bought and sold in the cocoa market if countries producing cocoa experience a drought

Rashid [163]

Answer: Supply of cocoa will fall; Demand rises; Price increases.

Explanation:

A drought is when there is little or no rainfall in a particular area. When countries that are producing cocoa experience a drought, this will lead to a reduction in the supply of cocoa as there will be lesser cocoa available for farmers to supply.

Then, due to the new study which is released demonstrating the health benefits of cocoa, this will lead to an increase in the demand for cocoa. The demand will rise and since there's increase in demand and reduction in supply, the price will rise.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $1.59 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.25, $1.33, $1

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The dividend growth rate is given as D2/D1 - 1

Year Dividend Growth rate

1 $1.25

2 $1.33 ($1.33/ $1.25 - 1) 6.4%

3 $1.4 ($1.4/$1.33 - 1) 5.26%

4 $1.51 ($1.51/$1.4 -1) 7.86%

The arithmetic average growth rate is the average of all the growth rates.

Arithmetic average growth rate = (6.4% + 5.26% + 7.86%) / 3 = 6.51%

The cost of annuity = (cost of common stock / Selling stock price) * 100% + Average growth rate

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.51% = 10.49%

b) The geometric growth rate is given as:

geometric average growth rate =

$(\frac{D_n}{D_o} )^{\frac{1}{n} }-1\\D_n=1.51,D_o=1.25,n=3\\\\Geometric\ growth\ rate=\frac{1.51}{1.25}^{1/3}-1=6.5\%$

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.5% = 10.48%

Two ways Brexit benefits the US? I don't need anything about why it doesn't, just need two reasons why it does.

Annette [7]

1. Potentially enables US to trade with UK on better terms (than previously allowed when UK was a member of the EU)

2. Expected that Brexit will enable UK government to award National Health Service contracts to US suppliers

3. Brexit weakens the EU and hence makes US/NAFTA relatively stronger

Bramble Corp. has two divisions; Sporting Goods and Sports Gear. The sales mix is 65% for Sporting Goods and 35% for Sports Gear

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

37%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average contribution margin ratio is shown below:

= Contribution margin ratio × weightage

= 30 × 65% + 50 × 35%

= 37%

We simply multiplied the contribution margin ratio with the weightage so that the weighted-average contribution margin ratio could come and the same to be considered

SkyChefs, Inc., prepares in-flight meals for a number of major airlines. One of the company’s products is grilled salmon in dill

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. 2,040 Hours

2. $27,540

3. 460 U

4.Labor rate variance = 1,000 U , Labor efficiency variance = 540 F

Explanation:

1. Standard labor hour allowed = (5,100 * 0.40) = 2,040 Hours

2. Standard labor cost = (2,040 * $13.50) = $27,540

3. Labor spending variance = (Standard cost - actual cost)

Labor spending variance = (27,540 - 28,000)

Labor spending variance = 460 U

4. Labor rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours

Labor rate variance = ($13.50 - $14) * 2000

Labor rate variance = 0.50 * 2,000 U

Labor rate variance = 1,000 U

Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate

Labor efficiency variance= (2,040 - 2,000) * $13.50

Labor efficiency variance = 40 * 13.50 F

Labor efficiency variance = 540 F
