A company wants to product a weighted moving average forecast for April with the weights 0.40, 0.35, and 0.25 assigned to March, February, and January, respectively. If the company had demands of 5,000 in January, 4,750 in February, and 5,200 in March, then April's forecast would be
Answer:
4,992.50
Explanation:
The computation of the April forecast is shown below:-
April forecast = ((Weight of March × Demand of march) + (Weight of Feb × demand of Feb) + (Weight of Jan × Demand of Jan)] ÷ Total of weights
= (0.40 × 5,200 + 0.35 × 4,750 + 0.25 × 5,000)
= 4,992.50
Hence, the correct answer is 4,992.50 and we have applied the above formula.
Hampton Corporation has a beta of 1.3 and a marginal tax rate of 34%. The expected return on the market is 11% and the risk-free interest rate is 6%. Estimate the firm’s cost of internal equity.
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Beta (B) = 1.3
Marginal tax rate = 34%
Risk free interest rate = 6%
Market rate of return = 11%
The cost of equity is calculated using the relation:
Risk free rate of return + Beta(market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Cost of equity = 6% + 1.3(11% - 6%)
Cost of equity = 6% + 1.3(5%)
Cost of equity = 6% + 6.5%
Cost of equity = 12.5%
Therefore, the firm's cost of internal equity is 12.5%
How much potential money could be created from a new deposit of $2,000 and with a reserve ratio of 10%? How would it affect the ability of bank to create money if the reserve ratio decreased to 5%?
Answer:
To calculate the effect of the bank's ability to create money with a decrease in reserve ratio.
Given:
New deposits= $2000, Reserve ratio= 10 percent
To calculate the money multiplier= 1/10%= 1/0.1= 10
To calculate the money that was created we multiply the multiplier by the new deposits.
Therefore: 10*2000= $20,000
To calculate the amount created when the reserve ratio is 5%
To calculate the money multiplier= 1/5%= 1/0.05= 20
Therefore the money created will be 20*2000= $40,000
Based on $20000 extra gained, a decrease in the reserve ratio to 5% will lead to an increase in the capacity f the bank to make more money.

Answer:
$0.50
Explanation:
Calculation for the value of the right
Based on the information given we were told that As of the ex date, the stock was trading at $24 which means that the market price of the amount of $24 have been adjusted on the ex date by the exchange where the stock trades.
Using this formula
Value of the right =(Trading stock- Price of shares to subscribe)/Right to subscribe
Let plug in the formula
Value of the right=($24-$19)/10
Value of the right÷$5/10
Value of the right=$0.50
Therefore the value of the right will be $0.50

Willis and Leslie orally agree to the sale of a parcel of land for $50,000: one-half payable now as a down payment; one-half payable in 30 days at the time of closing when the title will be transferred. The buyer, Willis, is to have possession immediately. Willis pays Leslie $25,000, takes possession of the land, and starts building a house. At the time of closing, the house is nearly completed. However, Leslie refuses to transfer the title, claiming the oral contract is not enforceable. This contract is:
Answer:
c. enforceable, because Willis has partially performed the oral contract and made improvements on the land.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as it does not include the options. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Willis and Leslie orally agree to the sale of a parcel of land for $50,000: one-half payable now as a down payment; one-half payable in 30 days at the time of closing when the title will be transferred. The buyer, Willis, is to have possession immediately. Willis pays Leslie $25,000, takes possession of the land, and starts building a house. At the time of closing, Willis has made a substantial beginning on the house. However, Leslie refuses to transfer the title, claiming the oral contract is not enforceable. This contract is:
a. enforceable, because the statute of frauds does not apply to this interest in land.
b. unenforceable, because there is no writing signed by Leslie.
c. enforceable, because Willis has partially performed the oral contract and made improvements on the land.
d. unenforceable, because the parol evidence rule applies.
The explanation to the answer is therefore given as follows:
An enforceable contract can be described as an oral or written agreement relating to employment, sales, or tenancy between two or more parties that can be imposed in a court of law.
If there is a permission by the law to enforce a contract, the obligation of the assenting parties to the contract is the execution of the agreement.
From the question, the contract is enforceable based on two facts: first, the contract is an oral agreement to the sale of a pacel of land between Wills and Leslie; and second, the oral contract has been executed to some extent by Will since he has made improvements on the land.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c. enforceable, because Willis has partially performed the oral contract and made improvements on the land.
Q 8.14: The financial statements of the Imagine Company report net sales of $1,000,000 and accounts receivable of $700,000 and $300,000 at the beginning of the year and end of year, respectively. What is the accounts receivable turnover for the Imagine Company
Answer:
2 times
Explanation:
The computation of accounts receivable turnover is shown below:-
Account receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable
where,
Net credit sales is $1,000,000
And, the Average accounts receivable is
= (Accounts receivable, beginning of year + Accounts receivable, end of year) ÷ 2
= ( $700,000 + $300,000) ÷ 2
= $500,000
Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales ÷ Average accounts receivable
= $1,000,000 ÷ $500,000
= 2 times

Answer:
Nola and Charles Collusion at Trident, IA.
Helping or Impeding Scenarios:
Helping Scenarios:
4. Nola and Charles are regulars at the same coffee house. They talk regularly
5. Charles and Nola both charge a fixed per person price for a party
Impeding Scenarios:
1. Charles develops a signature appetizer that becomes the must have in Trident
2. A party planning school opens and the new graduates are ready to plan!
3. Nola lowers her price on national television
6. Nola's marginal cost is lower than Charles's.
7. Most of the parties are given by Trident's largest employer, a water bottling plant.
Explanation:
Nola and Charles can only enter a collusion agreement secretly because it is illegal. Since the agreement is secret, it is not enforceable in the court of law. The tendency for Nola and Charles to be entangled in the prisoner's dilemma is very high. It is also not possible for them to protect their collusion for very long because they have different cost bases and core competencies that derail collusion on a sustainable large scale. Graduates of party organization and other market participants, including the large firm that hosts most of the parties in the area will end the collusion before long.
An investor purchases a stock for $52 and a put for $0.60 with a strike price of $50. The investor sells a call for $0.60 with a strike price of $58. What is the maximum profit and loss for this position

A country has been in existence for only two years.
In the first year, receipts were $1.0 million and outlays were $1.5 million.
In the second year, receipts were $1.5 million and outlays were $2.0 million.
At the end of the second year, the government had issued debt worth______
Answer:
-1.0 million
Explanation:
the debt issued in the second year is equal to the sum of the excess of revenues over outlays
in year 1, debt = $1.0 million - $1.5 million = $-0.5 million
In year 2, debt = $1.5 million - $2.0 million = $-0.5 million
$-0.5 million + $-0.5 million = -1.0 million
Thompson Company had $1,000 in office supplies at the beginning of the fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year, Thompson Company did an inventory of the office supplies and determined that $300 of supplies remained in the supply room unused. What is the amount of Supplies Expense at the end of the fiscal year?
Answer: Amount of supplies expense = $700
Explanation:
Given the following :
Amount of supplies at the beginning of the year = $1000
Amount of supplies which remained unused = $300
Amount of supplies expense at the end of the fiscal year = Amount of used supplies
Amount of used supplies = (amount of supplies at beginning - amount of unused supplies)
Amount of used supplies = ($1000 - $300)
Amount of used supplies = $700
Therefore, amount of supplies expense = $700
Altacey, a multinational company that sells consumer durables, divides its target markets on the basis of the density of population in the areas it operates in. It employs more salesmen and spends more money on promotions in cities with high population densities. In the context of consumer market segmentation, which of the following types of market segmentation does Altacey most likely follow?
A. Psychographic segmentation
B. Behavioral segmentation
C. Customer-based segmentation
D. Geographic segmentation
The correct answer is D. Geographic segmentation
Explanation:
Segmentation is a common business strategy that implies considering customers according to different features such as location, cultural values, buying behavior, etc. and creating marketing plans based on this. In the case of geographic segmentation, this occurs if customers are considered according to location, for example by dividing the market or customers according to the city, state, country, etc. or according to population density. This second strategy is the one used by Altacey as the money, employees, products, and other factors are assigned based on density. Thus, the segmentation is geographic.

Given the following college cost estimate:
Tuition - $12,450
room and board - $10,125
transportation - $2,600
books and fees - $2,250
