Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Based on the study being described it is not a valid claim because the stronger athletes were likely to drink the new sports drink whereas the weaker athletes were likely to drink flavored water. The companies need to sample athletes that are able to consistently lift a maximum of the same amount of weight. Once they have these participants they can then start the experiment. That way they know that the athletes are all on par with each other and if one is able to lift more than the other because they drank the energy drink they can isolate the drink as a cause.

Savant Homes, Inc., is a custom home designer and builder. Using what it called the Anders Plan, Savant built a model house in Windsor, Colorado. This was a ranch house with two bedrooms on one side and a master suite on the other, separated by a combined family room, dining room, and kitchen. Ron and Tammie Wagner toured the Savant house. The same month, the Wagners hired builder Douglas Collins and his firm, Douglas Consulting, to build a house for them. After it was built, Savant filed a lawsuit in a federal district court against Collins for copyright infringement, alleging that the builder had copied the Anders Plan in the design and construction of the Wagner house. Collins showed that the Anders Plan consisted of standard elements and standard arrangements of elements. In these circumstances, has infringement occurred? Explain.
Answer and Explanation:
There is no copyright infringement here. Savant homes had not taken a copyright protection for the design prior to this time. Also in the case it was found that the design is not in fact a unique design by Savant homes as it is used widely and was common before savant homes used it. And so it was a dummy model for everyone to copy from. Therefore the infringement was considered invalid as there was no ground for savant homes to claim it as am intellectual property

Megan Company has fixed costs of $747,040. The unit selling price, variable cost per unit, and contribution margin per unit for the company’s two products follow:
Product Selling Price Variable Cost per Unit Contribution Margin per Unit
Yankee $310 $140 $170
Zoro 500 340 160
The sales mix for products Yankee and Zoro is 10% and 90%, respectively. Determine the break-even point in units of Yankee and Zoro.
Answer:
Yankee= 464
Zoro= 4,176
Explanation:
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin= 170*0.1 + 160*0.9
Weighted average contribution margin= $161
Break-even point (units)= 747,040 / 161
Break-even point (units)= 4,640 units
Now, for each product:
Yankee= 4,640*0.1= 464
Zoro= 4,640*0.9= 4,176
Monty Inc. produces organic cranberry juice from cranberries it farmed. Unfortunately, it has been a bad year for cranberries because of severe cold weather. Monty has only 10,000 litres of juice. It usually sells 15,000 litres at $3.10 per litre. The variable costs of farming the cranberries are $0.90 per litre. Monty has loyal customers, but its managers are worried that the company will lose customers if it does not have juice available for sale when people stop by the farm. A neighbour is willing to sell 5,000 litres of extra cranberry juice at $3.00 per litre.
Required:
Using the general decision rule, what is the most per litre that Riverbed's managers would be willing to pay for additional juice?
Answer:
$3.10 per litre
Explanation:
Riverbed will agree to buy the additional cranberries for at most $3.10 per litre since this is their normal selling price. They can buy at this price and accept to not make profit since they are out to satisfy customers now and are not necessarily looking to make profit.
Therefore cost of purchase of extra cranberries would equal selling price at maximum
Consider the following case of Happy Turtle Transportation Company:
Suppose Happy Turtle Transportation Company is considering a project that will require $300,000 in assets.
The project is expected to produce earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $55,000.
Common equity outstanding will be $30,000 shares.
The company incurs a tax rate of 40%.
1. If the project is financed using 100% equity capital, then Happy Turtle Transportation Company’s return on equity (ROE) on the project will be 11.55% / 10.45% / 13.20% / 11.00%. In addition, Happy Turtle’s earnings per share (EPS) will be$ 0.99 / $ 1.10 / $ 1.21 / $0.94 / $ 1.05.
2. Alternatively, Happy Turtle Transportation Company’s CFO is also considering financing the project with 50% debt and 50% equity capital. The interest rate on the company’s debt will be 13%. Because the company will finance only 50% of the project with equity, it will have only 15,000 shares outstanding. Happy Turtle Transportation Company’s ROE and the company’s EPS will be ???? if the management decides to finance the project with 50% debt and 50% equity.
14.20% and $ 1.42, respectively
14.91% and $ 1.35, respectively
17.04% and $ 1.63, respectively
16.33% and $ 1.56, respectively
3. When a firm uses debt financing, the business risk exposure for the firm’s common shareholders will increase / decrease.
Answer: Check attachment
Explanation:
1. Based on the calculations on the attachment, the return on equity is 11% and the earning per share is $1.1.
2. Return on equity is 14.20% and the earning per share is $1.42.
3. The business risk exposure for the common area shareholders of the firm will increase when debt financing is used by the firm.

Once a week, Smith purchases a six-pack of cola and puts it in his refrigerator for his two children. He invariably discovers that all six cans are gone on the first day. Jones also purchases a six-pack of cola once a week for his two children, but unlike Smith, he tells them that each may drink no more than three cans. If the children use cost-benefit analysis each time they decide whether to drink a can of cola, explain why the cola lasts much longer at Jones's house than at Smith's.
Answer:
Jones purchases a six-pack of cola once a week for his two children, but unlike Smith, he tells them that each may drink no more than three cans.
Explanation:
Cost-benefit analysis is defined as a method to estimate all the costs involved and possible profits that can be achieved in a business opportunity.
Jones purchases a six-pack of cola once a week for his two children, but unlike Smith, he tells them that each may drink no more than three cans.
So, at Smith's house, there's always a chance that one of the siblings will drink the cola before the other.
Therefore,
cola can lasts much longer at Jones's house than at Smith's.
which group will test out new technology but are not usually seen as leaders within an organization
Answer:
Innovators
Explanation:
The reason is that their idea might not be successful in the beginning and also that they are not supported by the company executive directors. This lessens their value as a leader. There are other issues that are also associated with innovators which makes them difficult to get aknowledged as a leader, these as listed below:
They don't have any busines field background so they can't appraise the proposal.They don't have decision making powers.The technology project takes time to reach maturity phase and creates demand. Blockchains were invented in 2008 but today they are valued. So great things take time.Many decision makers don't value them because they feel that the innovators will take away their appreciation.Sometimes their idea actually doesn't work which means they overestimate the favourable facts.Complete the steps in the measurement of external transactions.

Assume you are given a minimization linear program that has an optimal solution. The problem is then modified by changing a greater-than-or-equal-to constraint in the problem to a less-than-or-equal-to constraint. Is it possible that the modified problem is infeasible? Answer yes or no and justify. a. Yes, it is possible that the modified problem is infeasible. Modifying one constraint as described could cause the regions to produce alternate optimal solutions. b. Yes, it is possible that the modified problem is infeasible. Modifying one constraint as described could cause the regions to no longer overlap. c. No, it is not possible that the modified problem is infeasible. Modifying one constraint as described will result in an unbounded solution. d. No, it is not possible that the modified problem is infeasible. Modifying one constraint as described has no effect on the feasible region of the other constraints. e. No, it is not possible that the modified problem is infeasible. Modifying one constraint as described will result in alternate optimal solutions.
Answer:
a. Yes, it is possible that the modified problem is infeasible. Modifying one constraint as described could cause the regions to produce alternate optimal solutions.
Explanation:
Maggie’s Skunk Removal Corp.’s 2018 income statement listed net sales of $13.8 million, gross profit of $8.70 million, EBIT of $6.9 million, net income available to common stockholders of $4.5 million, and common stock dividends of $2.5 million. The 2018 year-end balance sheet listed total assets of $53.8 million and common stockholders' equity of $22.3 million with 2.0 million shares outstanding.
1. Calculate the profit margin.
2. Calculate the basic earnings power.
3. Calculate the return on assets.
4. Calculate the return on equity.
5. Calculate the dividend payout.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Calculate the profit margin
Profit Margin = (Net Income/Net Sales) × 100
Profit Margin = (4,500,000/13,800,000) × 100
Profit Margin = 3.26 × 100
Profit margin = 32.6%
2. Calculate the basic earnings power.
Gross Profit Margin:
= Gross Profit/Net Sales × 100
= (8,700,000/13,800,000) × 100
= 6.304 × 100
= 63.04%
3. Calculate the return on assets.
Return on assets= Net income/Total asset
= 4,500,000/53,800,000
= 0.0836
= 8.36%
4. Calculate the return on equity.
Return on equity = Net income/Equity
= 4,500,000/22,300,000
= 0.2017
= 20.17%
5. Calculate the dividend payout.
Dividend payout = Dividend/Net income
= 2,500,000/4,500,000
= 0.556
= 55.6%
Boston’s Dairy has just opened its main yogurt factory in upstate Massachusetts. This main factory can produce 3,500 boxes of yogurt monthly (each box contains twelve 6-oz cups). Due to overwhelming demand for the company’s product, Boston’s Dairy has signed a contract to rent a new factory, which can produce up to 8,000 boxes per month. The monthly total fixed costs are $40,000 in the main factory and $16,000 in the new factory. The variable production cost of yogurt is $4.50 per box in the main factory. The variable production cost in the new factory is $6.0 per box as materials have to be redistributed from the main factory. The average selling price is $15, and the variable selling expense is $1 per box, which is the same for all factories. In addition, Boston’s Dairy plans to pay its sales force $0.80 per box as added bonus for every box sold above the break-even point. How many boxes does the company have to produce and sell in order to earn a net operating income of $10,000 per month (round all decimal up to one box)
Answer:
7,733 units
Explanation:
Breakeven point is one where revenue equals the cost.
In the main Factory:
Fixed cost = $40,000
Variable cost = $19,250 [($4.5 + $1.0) * 3,500 boxes]
Total cost = $59,250 [$40,000 + $19,250]
Revenue = $52,500 [3,500 * $15]
Net profit or loss : $52,500 - $59,250 = - 6,750 Loss
In the new Factory:
The break even point will be achieved when the loss of $6,750 in the main factory is covered by the new factory.
Fixed cost : $16,000
Variable cost : $6.0 + $1.0 = $7
Selling price = $15
16,000 + 6,750 + 7x = 15x
solving for x we get:
x = 2,844.
In the new factory 2,844 units needs to be produced in excess to achieve the breakeven point.
Total units required to produce 3,500 + 2,844 = 6,344.
If the company adds bonus of $0.80 for its sales force on each box sold above the breakeven then the cost will be increased.
Contribution Margin : 15 - [ 6 + 1 + 0.80 ] = $7.20
Box required to sell to produce net operating income of $10,000
10,000 / 7.20 = 1,389 units
Total units 7,733 [6,344 + 1,389]
Dixon Shuttleworth has been offered the choice of three retirement-planning investments. The first investment offers a 5 percent return for the first 5 years, a 10 percent return for the next 5 years, and a 20 percent return thereafter. The second investment offers 10 percent for the first 10 years and 15 percent thereafter. The third investment offers a constant 12 percent rate of return. Determine, for each of the given number of years, which of these investments is the best for Dixon if he plans to make one payment today into one of these funds and plans to retire in the following number of years.
a. 15 years
b. 20 years
c. 30 years
Answer:
a. If you plan to retire in 15 years, you should accept the third investment plan.
b. If you plan to retire in 20 years, you should accept the first investment plan.
c. If you plan to retire in 30 years, you should accept the first investment plan.
Explanation:
Assuming that Dixon invests $100 today:
1) value of first investment offer:
15 years
$100 x 1.05⁵ = $127.63
$127.63 x 1.1⁵ = $205.55
$205.55 x 1.2⁵ = $511.47
20 years
$100 x 1.05⁵ = $127.63
$127.63 x 1.1⁵ = $205.55
$205.55 x 1.2¹⁰ = $1,272.69
30 years
$100 x 1.05⁵ = $127.63
$127.63 x 1.1⁵ = $205.55
$205.55 x 1.2²⁰ = $7,880.16
2) value of second investment offer:
15 years
$100 x 1.1¹⁰ = $259.37
$259.37 x 1.15⁵ = $521.69
20 years
$100 x 1.1¹⁰ = $259.37
$259.37 x 1.15¹⁰ = $1,049.31
30 years
$100 x 1.1¹⁰ = $259.37
$259.37 x 1.15²⁰ = $4,245.06
3) value of third investment offer:
15 years
$100 x 1.12¹⁵ = $547.36
20 years
$100 x 1.12²⁰ = $964.63
30 years
$100 x 1.12³⁰ = $2,995.99
For each scenario, decide whether it creates a producer or a consumer surplus. Then, calculate the ensuing surplus.
Alice is willing to spend $30 on a pair of jeans, and has a coupon for $10 off which she found online. She selects and purchases a pair of jeans which cost $35 pre-discount.
Alice's____________ surplus:
Jeff finds some steaks for $16 for which he would have been willing to pay $20 . The butcher notices the meat is near the expiration date and gives him an extra 75 % off.
Jeff's________ surplus
Nicole has a hockey puck from the 2018 Winter Olympic Games and puts it up for sale on eBay. She will only sell the puck if the winning bid is greater than or equal to $500 . After bidding closes, the last bid stands at $501.
Nicole's____________ surplus
Answer:
Alice's consumer surplus = $5
Jeff's consumer surplus = $16
Nicole's producer surplus = $1
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of a good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay - price of the good
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the producer is willing to accept
Producer surplus = price of the good - least price the producer is willing to accept
Alice's consumer surplus = $30 - ($35 - $10) = $5
Jeff's consumer surplus = $20 - [$16 - (0.75 x $16)] = $16
Nicole's producer surplus = $501 - $500 = $1
You recently graduated from Empire State University with a degree in Marketing. You loved your time at Empire State, and have made numerous friendships with faculty members, current students, and community members. Because of this, you want to remain in your college town and achieve your dream of opening your own coffee shop, The Daily Grind. Before you can open your business, you know that you need to divide the market into segments, to develop customer profiles in order for you to determine which segment of the market you want to target. You have decided to focus on a handful of variables that represent all four market segmentation bases (demographic, geographic, psychographic, behavioral). In one or more fully formed paragraphs, identify and explain at least one variable within each base of market segmentation that should be used to segment the market to create a customer profile of patrons appropriate for The Daily Grind.
Answer and Explanation:
Demographic: the demographic aspect in looking at market segmentation variables in his coffee business would consider such things as age brackets, gender and different groups of population that would be interested in what his business aims to offer. Individuals who are in the older age brackets such as from 30-70 would be interested in coffee. Also these individuals are usually educated
Geographic:
This variable would consider where consumers are located geographically. Therefore are customers able to access the coffee shop easily I'm terms of proximity. How convenient is it to move to to the coffee shop from the customers location?
Psychographic:
what is customers attitudebor lifestyle ? Are customers thorough about the kind of coffee they want. Will customers accept to pay higher for higher quality coffee.
Behavioral: customers may consider the coffee shop a relaxation spot or a place to hangout with friends and family while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. What does this group do most and associate coffee with?

Given the following owner’s income and expense estimates for an apartment property, formulate a reconstructed operat-ing statement. The building consists of 10 units that could rent for $550 per month each. Owner’s Income Statement Rental income (last year) Less: Operating & Capital Expenses Power Heat Janitor Water Maintenance Capital Expenditures Management Depreciation (tax) Mortgage payments $ 2,200 1,700 4,600 3,700 4,800 2,800 3,000 5,000 6,300
Estimating vacancy and collection losses at 5 percent of potential gross income, reconstruct the operating state-ment to obtain an estimate of NOI. Assume an above-line treatment of CAPX. Remember, there may be items in the owner’s statement that should not be included in the recon-structed operating statement. Using the NOI and an Ro of 11.0 percent, calculate the property’s indicate market value. Round your answer to the nearest $500.
Answer:
$363,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the property’s indicate market value.
First step
Operating Statement
PGI: $66,000
(10 units x $550 x 12 month )
Less: Vacancy Loss(3,300)
(5%*66,000)
EGI:62,700
Less: Operating Expenses
Power$2,200
Heat1,700
Janitor4,600
Water3,700
Maintenance4,800
Management3,000
Reserve for CAPX2,800
Total Operating Expenses$22,800
Net Operating Income$39,900
(62,700-22,800)
Second step is to find the property’s indicate market value.
Using this formula
Market Value=NOI/ Ro
Let plug in the formula
Market Value=$39,900/11.0%
Market Value=$363,000
Therefore the property’s indicate market value is
$363,000

The payroll of YellowCard Company for September 2013 is as follows.
Total payroll was $464,000, of which $118,000 is exempt from Social Security tax because it represented amounts paid in excess of $128,400 to certain employees. The amount paid to employees in excess of $7,000 (the maximum for both federal and state unemployment tax) was $418,000. Income taxes in the amount of $86,000 were withheld, as was $8,500 in union dues. The state unemployment tax is 3.5%, but Sandhill Company is allowed a credit of 2.3% by the state for its unemployment experience. Also, assume that the current FICA tax is 7.65% on an employee’s wages to $128,400 and 1.45% in excess of $128,400. No employee for Sandhill makes more than $135,000. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% after state credit.
Required:
Prepare the necessary journal entries if:
a. The wages and salaries paid.
b. The employer payroll taxes are recorded separately.
Answer:
a. FICA tax is 7.65% on an employee’s wages to $128,400 and 1.45% in excess of $128,400.
FICA Tax payable = [(464,000 - 118,000) * 7.65%] + (118,000 * 1.45%)
= $28,180
DR Wages and Expenses $464,000
CR Withholding Taxes Payable $86,000
FICA Tax $28,180
Union Dues $8,500
Cash $341,320
b. The amount paid to employees in excess of $7,000 (the maximum for both federal and state unemployment tax) was $418,000.
Federal Unemployment Tax = (464,000 - 418,000) * 0.8% = $368
State Unemployment tax = (464,000 - 418,000) * (3.5% - 2.3%) = $552
DR Payroll Tax expense $29,100
CR FICA Tax Payable $28,180
Federal Unemployment Tax $368
State Unemployment Tax $552
Emily, who is single, has been offered a position as a city landscape consultant. The position pays $153,800 in cash wages. Assume Emily has no dependents. Emily deducts the standard deduction instead of itemized deductions, and she is not eligible for the qualified business income deduction. (Use the tax rate schedules.) (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Required:
a. What is the amount of Emily’s after-tax compensation (ignore payroll taxes) and his income tax liability?
b. Suppose Rick receives a competing job offer of $102,500 in cash compensation and nontaxable (excluded) benefits worth $4,900.
c. What is the amount of Emily’s after-tax compensation (ignore payroll taxes) and his income tax liability?
Answer:
a) using the 2020 tax schedule:
Emily's taxable income = $153,800 - $12,200 = $141,600
Emily's tax liability = $14,605.50 + [($141,600 - $85,525) x 24%] = $28,063.50
Emily's after tax compensation = $153,800 - $28,063.50 = $125,736.50
b and c ) if Emily (or Rick?) get a $102,500 offer that includes benefits worth $4,900 that are not taxable:
taxable income = $102,500 - $12,200 = $90,300
tax liability = $14,605.50 + [($90,300 - $85,525) x 24%] = $15,751.50
after tax compensation = $102,500 - $15,751.50 + $4,900 = $91,648.50
It can be deduced that the amount of Emily’s after-tax compensation will be $135784.50.
How to calculate the after-tax compensationGross income = $153800
AGI deduction = 0
Adjusted gross income = $153800
Standard deduction = $12400
Taxable income = $141400
Income tax liability= $28015.50
After tax compensation = $135784.50
When Rick receives a competing job offer of $102,500 in cash compensation and nontaxable benefits worth $4,900, the amount of Emily’s after-tax compensation will be:
Gross income = $144000
AGI deduction = 0
Adjusted gross income = $144000
Standard deduction = $12400
Taxable income = $131600
Income tax liability= $25663.50
After tax compensation = $128136.50

Darnell and Eleanor are building their portfolios. Darnell purchases shares in a mutual fund and pays fees to a manager who actively manages the mutual fund's portfolio. He does so because he believes that the manager can identify inexpensive stocks that will rise in value. Eleanor is not convinced. She buys shares in an index fund—a type of mutual fund that simply buys all of the stocks in a given stock index rather than actively managing a portfolio. Eleanor builds her portfolio based on the notion that:
a. All stocks are overvalued.
b. The stock market exhibits informational efficiency.
c. Stock analysts can use fundamental analysis to identify undervalued stocks.
Answer:
b. The stock market exhibits informational efficiency.
Explanation:
According to the efficient market hypothesis, it is believed that share prices reflect all information and consistent alpha generation is impossible. So, if Eleanor buys shares from an index fund, she believes shares are efficiently priced.
On the other hand, Darnell is buying under valued stocks with the hopes of earning a positive alpha

Cash register on January 1 for $5,400. This register has a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $400. What would be the depreciation expense for the second-year of its useful life using the double-declining-balance method
Answer:
$800
Explanation:
Double-declining-balance method is also known as reducing balance method.
Depreciation Expense = 2 × SLDP × BVSLDP
Where,
SLDP = 100 ÷ Number of Useful Life
= 100 ÷ 10
= 10 %
Year 1
Depreciation Expense = 2×10%×($5,400 - $400)
= $,1000
Year 2
Depreciation Expense = 2×10%×($5,400 - $400- $,1000)
= $800
Suppose you own a small company that is contemplating construction of a suburban office block. The cost of buying the land and constructing the building is $700,000. Your company has cash in the bank to finance construction. Your real estate adviser suggests that you rent out the building for two years at $30,000 a year and predicts that at the end of that time you will be able to sell the building for $840,000.
Thus there are now two future cash flows--a cash flow of C1 = $30,000 at the end of year 1 and a further cash flow of C2 = ($30,000 + 840,000) = $870,000 at the end of the second year.
Required:
a. Calculate the NPV of the office building venture at interest rates of 5, 10, and 15%.
b. At what discount rate (approximately) would the project have a zero NPV?
Answer:
NPV when discount rate is 5% = $117,687.08
NPV when discount rate is 10% = $46,281
NPV when discount rate is 15% = $-16,068.05
B. 13.65%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-700,000.
Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000
Cash flow in year 2 = ($30,000 + 840,000) = $870,000
NPV when discount rate is 5% = $117,687.08
NPV when discount rate is 10% = $46,281
NPV when discount rate is 15% = $-16,068.05
To determine which discount rate that would give the project a zero NPV, we are supposed to calculate the Internal rate of return
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-700,000.
Cash flow in year 1 = $30,000
Cash flow in year 2 = ($30,000 + 840,000) = $870,000
IRR = 13.65%
