Answer:
focused high-cost.
Explanation:
The five generic types of competitive strategy developed by Porter are:
low-cost provider strategiesbroad differentiation strategiesbest-cost provider strategies,focused low-cost strategiesfocused differentiation strategiesPorter's five generic types of competitive strategy were developed to assist an organization to develop a strategy that makes the company in a competitive position in the market, these strategies are based on three fundamental principles: cost leadership, differentiation and the focus.
According to the author, these bases would lead companies to implement offensive or defensive strategic actions that would lead to gaining advantages in relation to their competitors.
Therefore, The five generic types of competitive strategy are not characterized by a focused high-cost provider strategy

Simon recently received a credit card with an 18% nominal interest rate. With the card, he purchased an Amazon Kindle for $350. The minimum payment on the card is only $10 per month
a. If Simon makes the minimum monthly payment and makes no other charges, how many months will it be before he pays off the card. Round to the nearest month.
b. If Simon makes monthly payment of $30, how many months will it be before he pays off the card. Round to the nearest month.
c. How much more in total payments will Simon make under the $10-a-month plan than under the $30-a-month plan? Make sure you use three decimal places for N.
Answer:
A.50 months
B.12.92 months
C.$112.38
Explanation:
a). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$10
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $10 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $10 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
35 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.525
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.475)
-n[0.0149] = -0.7444
n = -0.7444 / -0.0149
n= 50 months
b). Using this formula
PV of Annuity = Monthly Payment * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
Where,
PV of Annuity =$350
Monthly Payment =$30
r=(0.18/12)
Let plug in the formula
$350 = $30 * [{1 - (1 + 0.18/12)-n} / (0.18/12)]
$350 / $30 = {1 - (1.015)-n} / 0.015
11.67 * 0.015 = 1 - (1.015)-n
(1.015)-n = 1 - 0.175
-n[log(1.015)] = log(0.825)
-n[0.0149] = -0.1924
n = -0.1924 / -0.0149 =
n=12.92 months
c). Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No.of Payments =50
Monthly Payment=10
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan= 50 * $10 = $500
Calculation for the Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
Using this formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan = No. of Payments * Monthly Payment
Where,
No. of Payments =12.92
Monthly Payment=$30
Let plug in the formula
Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan= 12.92 * $30 = $387.62
Hence,
Total Amount Paid under $10-a-month plan -Total Amount Paid under $30-a-month plan
= $500 - $387.62
= $112.38
Jamesway Corporation has two separate divisions that operate as profit centers. The following information is available for the most recent year: White divisionGrey division Sales (net)$270,000 $540,000 Salary expense37,800 64,800 Cost of goods sold135,000 202,500 The White Division occupies 25,000 square feet in the plant. The Grey Division occupies 25,000 square feet. Rent is an indirect expense and is allocated based on square footage. Rent expense for the year was $50,000. Gross profit for the White and Grey Divisions is: WhiteGrey A.$97,200 $272,700 B.$232,200 $475,200 C.$135,000 $337,500 D.$72,200 $247,700 E.$97,200 $247,700
Answer:
White Division Gross Profit = $72,200
Grey Division Gross Profit = $247,700
Explanation:
White Division Grey division
Sales (net) $270,000 $540,000
Less: Cost of goods sold $135,000 $202,500
Gross Margin $135,000 $337,500
Less: Salary Expenses $37,800 $64,800
Rent $25,000 $25,000
Gross Profit $72,200 $247,700
The White Division occupies 25,000 square feet in the plant. The Grey Division occupies 25,000 square feet. Hence, the rent expenses will be shared equally. Rent = $50,000 hence, both division will pay $25,000 each for rent
In the short run, what would indicate that a perfectly competitive firm is producing an output for which it is receiving a normal profit?
Answer: Price = Average Cost
Explanation:
I'm unsure if this question has options but this is the most probable reasons a firm in a Perfectly Competitive market would be receiving a normal profit in the Short run.
Normal Profit means that the company is making an Economic Profit of $0. For this to happen, the firm must need to be making the same.amount as it is spending on the goods that it is producing.
The amount it is spending is the Average Cost. When Price equals this Average Cost, the company is at Break-Even Point and so is making a $0 Economic profit which means it is only making Normal Profit.
For a company to make Economic Profit, the Price needs to be equal to the Marginal Cost.
Even though most corporate bonds in the united states make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of 1000,20 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 6.6 percent paid annually.
If the yield to maturity is 8.9 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of bond = $786.86
Explanation:
The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).
Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of bond would be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of interest payments
Annual interest payment
= 6.6% × 1,000× 1/2= 33
PV of interest payment = A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r- semi-annual yield = 8.9%/2 = 4.45 %
n- 20× 2= 40
PV of interest payment= 33 × (1-(1.0445^(-40)/0.0445 = 611.611
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
PV = 1,000 × (1.0445)^(-40) = 175.25
Step 3
Price of bond
Price of bond= 611.611 + 175.25 = 786.862
Price of bond = $786.86
AgCo sells corn in a perfectly competitive market. Say the current market price for a bushel of corn is $4.00. If AgCo prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn, a. AgCo will sell less corn than other producers but still earn a reasonable profit. b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn. c. AgCo's total revenue will increase. d. AgCo will maximize profit at that price.
Answer:
b. AgCo will sell no bushels of corn.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive market refers to market has many buyers and sellers will all the market selling the undifferentiated product without any difference.
Some of the others attributes of a perfectly competitive market are that buyers and sellers have perfect information about the price of a good, no barriers to entry and exit, similar products are being sold, there are free entry and exit to the market, and all sellers are price takers.
All sellers are price takers implies that the price of good is determined or given by the market. Therefore, any attempt to increase the price beyond the price given by the market will result into a zero sale because the buyers will immediately switch to another seller selling at the market price which lower.
Based on the above explanation, AgCo will sell no bushels of corn because its prices at $4.10 per bushel for its corn is higher than the current market price for a bushel of corn of $4.00.
A "tariff" on imported products is an example of a trade barrier that is always preferred to the free trade, because it generates government revenues in addition to restricting the amounts of imports.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
The answer is true
Explanation:
One of the most common trade barriers is a tariff. Tariff is a tax imposed by the government on imported goods and services. Imposing tariffs on imported goods and services raise their prices.
Imposing tariff on imported goods can either be done to raise government revenue or to protect indigenous companies.
Algoma Co. borrows $250,000 cash on November 1, 2013, by signing a 120-day, 9% note with a face value of $250,000. 2. & 3. What is the amount of interest expense in 2013 and 2014 from this note? (Use 360 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
The amount of interest expense in 2013 and 2014 are $3,750 and $3,625 respectively.
Explanation:
Interest expense would be in
2013;
= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ ( total number of days in a year)
= $250,000 × 9% × (60 ÷ 360)
= $3,750
( 29 days in November + 31 days in December
In 2014,
= Principal × interest rates × number of days ÷ ( number of days in a year)
= $250,000 × 9% × ( 58 ÷ 360)
= $3,625
(30 days in January + 28 days in February)
Oriole Co. sold $1,970,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds at 102 on January 1, 2017. The bonds were dated January 1, 2017, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Oriole uses the straight-line method to amortize bond premium or discount, determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548.) Interest expense to be recorded\
Answer:
The interest expenses to be reported for July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 is $116,230
Explanation:
We begin by calculating cash interest on the bond
Cash interest on the bond = $1,970,000 × 12% × 6/12
= $118,200
We will also find the premium on bonds payable
Premium on bonds payable = (102 -100)
= 2%
Therefore, premium on bonds payable = $1,970,000 × 2%
= $39,400
Finding semi annual premium amortized for both July 1, 2017 and December 31 is ;
= $39,400 / 10×2
= $39,400 / 20
= $1,970
We will now calculate the interest expenses for July 1, 2017 and December 31
Interest expenses = Cash interest - Premium amortized
= $118,200 - $1,970
= $116,230
At Bargain Electronics, it costs $29 per unit ($20 variable and $9 fixed) to make an MP3 player at full capacity that normally sells for $44. A foreign wholesaler offers to buy 3,020 units at $24 each. Bargain Electronics will incur special shipping costs of $2 per unit. Assuming that Bargain Electronics has excess operating capacity, indicate the net income (loss) Bargain Electronics would realize by accepting the special order.
Reject Order Accept Order Net Income

The special order should be: __________
Answer:
The special order should be accepted by $21,140
Explanation:
Particulars Reject Accept Net change
Revenue 0 $72,480 $72,480
(3,020 × $24)
Cost manufacturing 0 $45,300 -$45,300
(3,020 × $15)
Shipping 0 $6,040 -$6,040
(3,020 × $2)
Net income 0 $21,140 $21,140
Under reject, all will be zero as rejecting the project has no change.
Therefore the net income of Bargain Electronics should be realizing by accepting the special orders by $21,140
Suppose the production of cotton causes substantial environmental damage because the pesticides used by cotton farmers often make their way into nearby rivers and streams, and are very harmful to fish and other wildlife. If cotton farmers do not have to pay for the environmental damage caused by the pesticides used to grow cotton, then the market equilibrium price will be ______ and the market equilibrium quantity will be
Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high
Explanation:
If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.
However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.
Oldhat Financial starts its first day of operations with $11 million in capital.A total of $120 million in checkable deposits are received. The bank makesa $30 million commercial loan and another $40 million in mortgages with thefollowing terms: 200 standard, 30- year, fixed-rate mortgages with a nominalannual rate of 5.25%, each for $200,000. Assume that required reserves are 8.
a. What does the bank balance sheet look like?
b. How well capitalized is the bank?
c. Calculate the risk weighted assets and risk weighted capital ratio after Oldhat's first day.
Answer:
a.
Assets Side
Required Reserves $10 million
Excess Reserves $51 million
Loans $70 million
Total $131 million
Liabilities Side
Checkable Deposits $120 million
Bank Capital $11 million
Total $131 million
b. Bank capitalization can be measured with bank Leverage Ratio.
= Capital/Assets
= 11/131
= 8.40%
Bank is considered well capitalized if ratio is above 5% so Oldhat Financial is well capitalized.
c. Risk Weighted Assets = $50 million
Risk weighted capital ratio = 22%
Commercial loans are 100% risk weighted = $ 30 million
Residential mortgages are 50% risk weighted = $ 20 millions
Total = $50 million.
Risk weighted Capital Ratio = Bank capital / Total risk weighted assets
= 11/50
= 22%

A firm has found that it provides a 90 percent order fill rate (orders shipped complete), 90 percent on-time delivery, 90 percent of its orders arrive at customers' destinations in perfect condition, and 90 percent of the time all documentation is correct. These are all of the elements of a perfect order for this company's customers. What is the best estimate of its perfect order performance?
Answer:
66%
Explanation:
The Best estimate of the order's perfect performance is the probability that all four factors contribute as desired.
The probability of this happening is
= (0.9) × 4
= 0.6561
or
= 66%
Simply we multiplied the four factors with the given percentage so that the best estimate of the perfect order performance could arrive
The actual usage for grain depends on which llamas show up at feeding time, thus there is an average need for 50 pounds of grain each day with a standard deviation of five pounds. In addition, there is some variability in how long it takes the feed store to whip up a batch of llama feed. The standard deviation of the feed prep is one day. The farm is willing to tolerate a 2% chance of running out of feed before they can get some more hauled in. Which adjustment to their system would have the greatest impact on the reorder point? A. increase the standard deviation of daily demand to 10 pounds O B. reduce the average daily demand to 45 pounds O c. lower the standard deviation of the lead time to one half of a day OD. decrease the service level to 90
Answer:
The adjustment to system that would have the greatest impact on the reorder point is:
c. lower the standard deviation of the lead time to one half of a day.
Explanation:
Other listed options discussed issues not affecting the reorder point. It is the lead time that impacts the reorder point and directly affects the total inventory levels. The lead time sums the time occasioned by supply delay or how long the shipment of an order takes to reach the warehouse to the reordering delay or the time it takes to place an order after receiving the requisition or attaining the reorder point.
Data concerning Farm Corporation's single product appear below: Selling price per unit $ 320.00 Variable expense per unit $ 76.80 Fixed expense per month $ 170,240 The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$224,000
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= $320 - $76.8
= $243.2
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
= $243.2 / $320
= $0.76 × 100
= 76%
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $170,240 / 76%
= $224,000

whipple corp. just issued 310,000 bonds with a coupon rate of 6.20 percent paid semiannually that mature in 15 years. The bonds have a YTM of 6.64 percent and have a par valueof 2000. how money was raised from the sale of the bonds?
Answer:
$594,338,200 was raised from the sale of the bonds.
Explanation:
The Price of the bond (PV) can be determined using a financial calculator as follows :
Pmt = ($2,000 × 6.20 %) / 2 = $62
P/yr = 2
n = 15 × 2 = 30
YTM = 6.64 %
FV = $2,000
PV = ?
Therefore, PV = $1,917.22
Money raised = 310,000 bonds × $1,917.22
= $594,338,200
One measure of ____ is the extent to which the work of the department affects the final output of the organization.
Answer:
Centrality
Explanation:
Remember, a less central organization means more freedom. However, when the work of the departments in an organization can adversely affects the final output of the organization it tells us how central the organization is.
This Implies that the organization is following a structured system in which flexibility is not possible, and as a result any issues at other departments might affect output.
Most economists believe that real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of each other in the long run. For example, an increase in the money supply, a _____________ variable, will cause the price level, a __________ variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a _____________ variable. The notion that an increase in the quantity of money will impact the price level but not the output level is known as___________________.
Answer:
nominal; nominal; real; the classical dichotomy.
Explanation:
Most economists believe that real economic variables and nominal economic variables behave independently of each other in the long run. For example, an increase in the money supply, a nominal variable, will cause the price level, a nominal variable, to increase but will have no long-run effect on the quantity of goods and services the economy can produce, a real variable. The notion that an increase in the quantity of money will impact the price level but not the output level is known as the classical dichotomy.
A nominal variable is the monetary value of a security such as bonds or stocks, without considering any change in price caused by inflation. It is also referred to as the par value or face value.
A real variable measures goods and services taking into consideration any change in price or that has been adjusted for inflation so as to allow comparison of goods with respect to another goods or services.
Hence, if the money supply is increased, it will cause an increase in the price of goods and services but will have no effect on the gross domestic product (GDP), which is known as the classical dichotomy.
A company discarded a computer system originally purchased for $18,000. The accumulated depreciation was $17,200. The company should recognize a(an):
Answer:
The company should recognize a $800 loss.
Explanation:
Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset over its useful life, and because of the accrual principle, this depreciation is matched, as an expense, with the revenues that the asset produces in a specific period of time.
In this case, the company has expensed $17,200 over the computer system useful life. When the computer system was finally discarded, $800, representing the difference between the accumulated depreciation and the original cost of the system, where not expensed. For this reason, this $800 have to be recognized as a loss.

"A dealer buys 10,000 shares of ABC common at $15 for its inventory. One week later the stock is quoted at $18 - $19, and a customer buys 100 shares from the dealer at a net price of $20. Under the FINRA 5% Policy, a fair and reasonable mark-up is based upon which price?"
Answer: c. $19
Explanation:
Under the FINRA 5% Policy, a fair and reasonable mark-up or commission is based upon the current market price of the stock not how much the dealer bought it for or rather their cost. As such, when the customer buys, which was the case in this scenario, the mark-up is charged on the inside ask price which in this case is $19.
Were the customer to be selling, any mark-downs will be charged on the inside bid price which in this case is $18.

The business will treat them as a liability until they are delivered so they will go under Current Liabilities in the Balance Sheet assuming they are to be fulfilled in 12 months or less which is usually the case.
Service Revenue - Income Statement
These are revenue that the business earns for providing a service when their main source of revenue is by selling goods. It is listed in the Income Statement just after Revenue and is added to Revenue to get Total Revenue.
Kenneth Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending December 18 were $3,460, and his federal income tax withholding was $726.6. Assuming the social security rate is 6% and Medicare is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Washington's net pay? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
$2,473.9
Explanation:
The computation of net pay is shown below:-
Net pay = Gross pay - Federal income tax withholding - Social security tax - Medicare tax
= $3,460 - $726.6 - ($3,460 × 6%) - ($3,460 - 1.5%)
= $3,460 - $726.6 - $207.6 - $51.9
= $2,473.9
Therefore for computing the net pay we simply applied the above formula i.e the three above taxes are subtracted from the gross pay to arrive net pay

Answer: Gross profit margin.
Explanation:
Break-Even Analysis enables a business to know how much cash it has under given situations by helping it know how much sales it needs in order to have a certain amount of cash.

A customer is long 400 shares of fully paid XYZ stock, valued at $150 per share. The customer sells "short against the box" another 400 shares of XYZ. XYZ is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The minimum maintenance margin requirement is:
Answer:
$3,000.
Explanation:
Given that, the margin in an arbitrage account is 5% minimum maintenance on the long side under FINRA rules.
Also, in this case, there is no Regulation T requirement, since the customer has no risk, which means hs net position = "0."
Therefore, given that, the market value of the securities is $150 * 400 = $60,000
Then, the minimum margin which is 5% = $3,000.
Additionally, the customer can borrow the remaining $57,000.
Hence, the right answer is $3,000
