Cagney and Lacey enter into a written contract to open "Tried and True," a store specializing in used guns recovered from murder scenes. The written contract is a 2-paragraph handwritten document, and states that each party will receive 50% of any net profits and that each will devote 30 hours a week to the business. Both parties regard the writing as a final expression of their deal. After being in business for a evide while, Cagney sues Lacey for breach because Lacey is only working 20 hours per week during the summer months. Lacy attempts to present on vacation from school. Will Lacey be able to present this evidence at trial?
1. No, under the parole evidence rule that shows just prior to signing the contract, Cagney orally agreed that Lacey could work 20 hours a week when her children were
2. Yes, under the parole evidence rule
3. No, due to unilateral mistake
4. Yes, under the statute of frauds

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3. No, due to unilateral mistake

Explanation:

Lacey and Cagney both had agreed to wok for 30 hours per week and the agreement is in written format since it is enforceable. Both of them are sharing 50% profits so both will have to share the duties equally. When Lacey makes an excuse and is working for 20 hours per week only Cagney can sues her and she is in a probability to win against her. Lacey should have informed Cagney about the vacation from school scenario before signing the contract.

Which of the following is not characteristic of long-run equilibrium under monopolistic competition? Price equals minimum average total cost. marginal cost equals marginal revenue. Price is equal to average total cost. Price exceeds marginal cost.

Answers

Answer:

Price equals minimum average total cost.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.

Monopolistic competition can be defined as the market structure which comprises of elements of competitive markets (having many competitors) and monopoly.

Under monopolistic competition, organizations earn profits in the long-run equilibrium.

In long-run equilibrium under monopolistic competition, price does not equal minimum average total cost.

When a monopolistically competitive firm is in long-run equilibrium, marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost . This ultimately implies that in the long-run, firms engaging in monopolistic competitive market are often going to manufacture the quantity of goods where the marginal cost (MC) curve intersect with the marginal revenue (MR). Also, the price set would be greater than the minimum average total cost (ATC).

You own a stock portfolio invested 35 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 15 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .83, 1.21, 1.22, and 1.39, respectively. What is the portfolio beta

Answers

Answer:

Beta= 1.1065

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Proportions:

35 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 15 percent in Stock T.

Betas:

0.83, 1.21, 1.22, and 1.39,

To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:

Sarah Sandoval is a coffee farmer trying to decide how many tons of coffee to produce. She can sell each ton of coffee for $2000. The cost of producing the first ton of coffee is $500, for the second ton, it's $1000. For each additional ton of coffee produced, the marginal cost increases by $500. How many tons of coffee should Sarah produce, and what is the total cost of her coffee production

Answers

Answer:

She will produce four tons at a total cost of $5,000

Explanation:

For each additional ton of coffee produced the marginal cost is increase by $500. This means that when Sarah reaches the fourth ton of coffee the cost of producing the ton of coffee would be $2,000.

At this point she is neither making any profit nor any loss. So, this would be her maximum limit of producing the ton of coffee.

The total cost of producing the four tons of coffee would be $5,000 ($500 for first + $1,000 for second + $1,500 for third + $2,000 for fourth).

The Retail Division has used 2,750 hours of computer technology service during the period, and the Commercial Division has used 1,250 hours of computer technology service. How much should each division be charged for computer technology department services?

Answers

Answer:

Retail Division  = $220,000

Commercial Division  = $100,000

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine the Overhead application rate

Overhead application rate = Overhead ÷ Total Activity

                                              = $320,000 ÷ 4,000 hours

                                              = $80 per hour

Step 2 : Apply the rate to the respective departments

Applied Overhead = Overhead application rate x Department Activity

therefore,

Retail Division = $80 x 2,750 hours = $220,000

and

Commercial Division = $80 x 1,250 hours = $100,000

a. A 10-year coupon bond would have more price risk than a 5-year coupon bond, but all 10-year coupon bonds have the same amount of price risk.
b. A zero coupon bond of any maturity will have more price risk than any coupon bond, even a perpetuity.
c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.
d. A 10-year coupon bond would have more reinvestment risk than a 5-year coupon bond, but all 10-year coupon bonds have the same amount of reinvestment risk.
e. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have less price risk than a 10% coupon bond.

Answers

Answer: c. If their maturities and other characteristics were the same, a 5% coupon bond would have more price risk than a 10% coupon bond.

Explanation:

Price risk of a bond is the risk that the bond changes price or rather the degree of price volatility. Bond prices change in reaction to market interest rates with higher rates meaning lower prices and lower rates meaning higher prices.

When the market interest rates rise above the Coupon on a bond, the bond price will fall below par and when the interest rates are below the coupon, the bond will be above par.

A 5% coupon bond will be more prone to changes in prices because market interest rates are generally low and fluctuate below 10% which means that they will affect the 5% bond more than the 10% because there are better chances of rates rising above or falling below 5% than there are of 10%.

What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC1) if it uses retained earnings as its source of common equity

Answers

Answer: 9.49%

Explanation:

Formula for WACC:

WACC = (Cost of Equity * Weight of equity) + [(Cost of debt * weight of debt) * (1 - tax rate)] + (Cost of Preference share * weight of preference share).

As we are using retained earnings, this is not a new stock issue so the relevant cost of equity to use is the old one.

WACC = (11.6% * 55%) + [(9% * 40%) * (1 - 25%)] + (8.2% * 5%)

= 9.49%

Answers

Answer:

a) $90,000

b) $260,000

c) $115000

Explanation:

Forecasting is the heart of planning process. Explain​

Answers

Answer:

Forecasting is a very important step in the planning process, so much that without forecasting, the planning process for a project of a firm as a whole would not be possible.

Explanation:

The reason is that by definition, planning corresponds to a process that will be realized at some point in the future, (whether in the long or short-term depends on the planning horizon), and for the most part, information about the future is uncertain, and hard to predict. For that reason, the planning process must use forecasting methods to determine important variables like future sales, future revenue, future costs, and so on.

There are many forecasting techniques. For the most part, these techniques are statistical in nature and based on past information that is supposed to replicate somehow in the future. However, sometimes, more qualitative or intuitive forecasting methods are used, when statistical information is hard to come by.

Explanation:

A firm is considering moving from the United States to Mexico. The firm pays its U.S. workers $30.00 per hour. Currently, U.S. workers have a marginal product of 45 units, whereas Mexican workers have a marginal product of 9 units. In order for the firm to reduce its wage cost per unit of output by moving to Mexico, the wages in Mexico must be below_________per hour.

Answers

Answer: $6.00

Explanation:

From the question, we can see that the productivity in the United States is (45/9) = 5 times higher than that of Mexico.

Therefore, the wages in Mexico should be 5 times lower than the wages paid to the workers in the United States. This will be:

= $30.00 / 5

= $6.00

Therefore, in order for the firm to reduce its wage cost per unit of output by moving to Mexico, the wages in Mexico must be below $6.00 per hour.

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently created a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:

Direct materials: 6 microns per toy at $1.50 per micron
Direct labor: 1.3 hours per toy at $21 per hour

During July, the company produced 3,000 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows: Direct materials: 25,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $1.48 per micron. 5,000 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month. Direct labor: 4,000 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $88,000.

Required:
Compute the variances for July.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the variance is shown below;

a) Material price variance is

= (Standard price - actual price) × actual quantity

= ($1.5 - $1.48) × 25000

= $500 F

b. Material quantity variance is

= (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × Standard price

= (3000 × 6 - 20,000) × 1.5

= $3,000 U

c) Labor rate variance is

= (Standard rate - actual rate) × actual hours

= ($21 × 4000 - $88,000)

= $4,000 U

d.  Labor efficiency variance is

= (Standard hour - actual hour) × Standard rate

= (3000 × 1.3 - 4000) × 21

= $2,100 U
