The ___ can transfer the right to cash a check to another party by endorsing

For an analysis of the salaries of your company, you plot the salaries of all employees against the number of years they have w

Arisa [49]

Answer:

1. That values that you must plot are:

(1, 4.08))

(20, 5.08)

(40, 6.18)

2. Yes, the plot of those three points is straight enough.

Explanation:

A. What are the values you will plot?

The x-ccordinate of your plot is still the number of years the exmployees have worked for the company.

The y-coordinate of your plot is the the base-10 logarithm of the salary.

Therefore:

1) A part-time shipping clerk: 1 year, $12,000

⇒ $(1,log_{10}12,000)=(1,4.08)$

2) A manager: 20 years, $120,000

⇒ $(20,log_{10}120,000)=(20,5.08)$

3) The CEO: 40 years ago, $1,500,000

⇒ $(40,log_{10}1,500,000)=(40,6.18)$

Summarizing, the points to plot are:

(1, 4.08)

(20, 5.08)

(40, 6.18)

B. Will the plot of these three points be straight enough?

To find whether the plot is straight enoguh, you may either plot them, make a regression, or, since they are only three points, you can whether the change of rate of the points is constant.

Change of rate of the first two points, r:

r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (5.08 - 4.08) / (20 - 1) =1.00/19 ≈ 0.05

Change of rate of the second and the third points, r:

r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (6.18 - 5.08) / (20 - 1) = 0.05

Since both rate of changes are equal (or reasonably equal) the plot is straight enough.

Alto and Solo are all-equity firms. Alto has 2,400 shares outstanding at a market price of $24 a share. Solo has 4,000 shares ou

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Alto's share value = (2,400 × $24) = $57,600

Alto's total value = Share value + Incremental value of acquisition = $57,600 + $5,500 = $63,100

Net present value (NPV) = Alto's total value - Cost of acquisition = $63,100 - $63,000 = $100

Therefore, the net present value of acquiring Alto to Solo is $100.

Assume a firm has a beta of 1.2. All else held constant, the cost of equity for this firm will increase if the: beta decreases.

eduard

Answer:

Risk-free rate decreases

Explanation:

The CAPM formula for calculating cost of equity requires one to know the value of 3 pieces of information only:

1. the market rate of return,

2. the beta value

3. the risk-free rate.

Ra = Rrf + [Ba∗(Rm−Rrf)]

where:

Ra=Cost of Equity

Rrf = Risk-Free Rate

Ba = Beta

Rm=Market Rate of Return

From the formula

Ra = Rrf + [1.2∗(Rm−Rrf)]

Ra = Rrf + 1.2Rm - 1.2Rrf

From Ra = 1.2Rm -0.2Rrf

From the expression above, it can be seen that the lower the value of Rrf (Risk-Free rate), the higher the value of Ra.

Frazier Company sells women's ski jackets. The average sales price is $272 and the variable cost per jacket is $122. Fixed Costs

padilas [110]

Answer:

b. $2,205,000

Explanation:

We know,

Contribution Margin = Sales (Revenues) - Variable Cost (expense)

Contribution margin is the difference between sales and variable cost.

Given,

Sales per unit = $272

Variable cost per unit = $122

Sales volume (Number of Ski Jackets) = 14,700 jackets

Now, we use contribution margin format income statement to determine the contribution margin for 14,700 jackets.

Sales ($272 × 14,700 jackets) $3,998,400

Less: Variable expense ($122 × 14,700 jackets) $(1,793,400)

Contribution Margin [($272 - 122) × 14,700 jackets] = $2,205,000

Therefore, option B is the answer.
