Consider a town in which only two residents, Lorenzo and Neha, own wells that produce water safe for drinking. Lorenzo and Neha can pump and sell as much water as they want at no cost. Assume that outside water cannot be transported into the town for sale. The following questions will walk you through how to compute the Cournot quantity competition outcome for these duopolists. Consider the market demand curve for water and the marginal cost for collecting water on the following graph. Assume Lorenzo believes that Neha is going to collect 12 gallons of water to sell. On the graph, use the purple points (diamond symbols) to plot the demand curve (D1) Lorenzo faces; then use the grey points (star symbol) to plot the marginal revenue curve (MR1) Lorenzo faces. Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity (Profit Max 1) in this case. Instead, now assume Lorenzo believes that Neha is going to collect 16 gallons of water to sell, rather than 12. On the following graph, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the demand curve (D2 ) Lorenzo faces; then use the grey points (star symbol) to plot the marginal revenue curve (MR2 ) Lorenzo faces. Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity (Profit Max 2) in this case. Fill in the following table with the quantity of water Lorenzo produces, given various production choices by Neha. Given the information in this table, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot Lorenzo's best-response function (BRF) on the following graph. Since Lorenzo and Neha face the same costs for producing water, Neha's best-response function is simply the reverse of Lorenzo's; that is, the curve has the same shape, but the horizontal and vertical intercept values are switched. Therefore, you can derive Neha's best-response function by following the same analysis as in the previous question, but from Neha's perspective. Use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot her best-response function on the graph. Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the unique Nash equilibrium under Cournot quantity competition. True or False: According to her best-response function, Neha will always want to decrease her output as Lorenzo decreases his. O True O False
Answers
1) Demand curve moves twelve degrees inward. Demand for quantity decreases by 12 at every price.
2) MR = MC = 0 in an equilibrium state.
The demand curve shifts inward by 16 when Neha collects 16 gallons.
3) The claim is false because Neha's quantity increases while Lorenzo's quantity decreases.
A demand curve in economics is a graph that shows the relationship between the cost of a given good and the amount that is desired at that cost. Demand curves can be applied to the price-quantity relationship for either a specific consumer or for every consumer in a given market.
When companies decide on prices, the demand curve can be a useful tool. This is so that the demand curve can demonstrate the price at which consumer responsiveness declines and the price at which the greatest demand is elicited.

13) Storico Co. just paid a dividend of $3.15 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 20 percent next year and then reduce its dividend growth rate by 5 percentage points per year until it reaches the industry average of 5 percent dividend growth, after which the company will keep a constant growth rate forever. If the required return on the company’s stock is 12 percent, what will a share of stock sell for today? (4 pts)
Answers
Answer:
$61.29
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what will a share of stock sell for today
First step is to calculate the price in Year 3
P3= $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)(1.05) / (.12 – .05)
P3= $5.020785/0.07
P3=$71.72
Now Let Calculate the price of stock today using the Present Value (PV) of the first three dividends in addition with the Present Value (PV) of the stock price in Year 3:
P0= $3.15(1.20)/(1.12) + $3.15(1.20)(1.15)/1.12^²+ $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)/1.12^³+ $71.72/1.12^³
P0=$3.78/1.12+$4.347/1.2544+$4.7817/1.404928+$71.72/1.404928
P0=$3.375+3.465+3.4035+$51.048
P0= $61.29
Therefore what will a share of stock sell for today is $61.29

Suppose that a firm is facing an upward-sloping yield curve and needs to borrow money to invest in production. Does this mean that the firm should consider borrowing only at short-term rates?
a. No, the firm needs to take the volatility of short-term rates into account.
b. No, an upward-sloping yield curve means that the firm will get a lower interest rate if it uses long-term financing
c. Yes, using short-term financing will give the firm the lowest possible interest rate over the life of the project.
Credit ratings affect the yields on bonds. Based on the scenario described in the following table, determine whether yields will increase or decrease and whether it will be more expensive or less expensive, as compared to other players in the market, for a company to borrow money from the bond market.

Answers
Answer:
a. No, the firm needs to take the volatility of short-term rates into account.
Explanation:
Short term interest rates are more volatile than the long term interest rates. If the company chooses to finance its operations solely from short term financing than it will need to incorporate the affect of volatility in the short term interest rates to identify the net returns. The volatility should be calculated with the risk factor and required rate of return of the funds.

Financial analysts have estimated the returns on shares of the Goldday Corporation and the overall market portfolio under two economic states nature as follows. For Goldday the state dependent returns are -0.04 in recession, and 0.10 in an economic boom. For the market the state dependent returns are -0.06 in recession,and 0.14 in boom. The analyst estimates that the probability of a recession is 0.50 while the probability of an economic boom is 0.50. Compute the covariance between Goldday and the market.'
Answers
Answer:
covariance = 0.0070
Explanation:
Given data :
probability of recession = 0.5 , probability of economic boom = 0.5
For Goldday corporation
During Recession
probability = 0.5
return on stocks = -0.04
expected return = 0.5 * - 0.04 = - 2.00%
deviation 1 = - 7% ( -0.04 - average return )
Prob * deviation ^2 = 0.5 * (- 7% )^2 = 0.002450
During Economic boom
probability = 0.5
return on stocks = 0.10
expected return = 0.5 * 0.10 = 5%
deviation 1 = 0.10 - average return = 7%
Prob * deviation^2 = 0.5 * ( 7%)^2 = 0.002450
Hence for Goldday corporation
average return = ∑ expected returns = 3%
variance = ∑ Prob * deviation^2 = 0.0049
std = √0.0049 = 7%
Note : perform the same calculation for the Market
For Market
average return = ∑ expected returns = 4%
variance = ∑ Prob * deviation^2 = 0.01000
std = √ variance = 10%
Determine the covariance between Goldday and the MARKET
= ∑ ( deviation 1 * deviation 2 * probability )
= recession + economic boom
= ( - 7% * - 10% * 0.5 ) + ( 7% * 10% * 0.5 )
= 0.0035 + 0.0035 = 0.0070 ---------> answer

(4 pts.) a) What is your estimate of the current stock price? b) What is the target stock price in one year? c) Assuming the company pays no dividends, what is the implied return on the company’s stock over the next year?
Answers
Answer:
(a) 78.96
(b) 82.99
(c) 5.10
Explanation:
The current stock price can be calculated as follows
= 3.76 × 21
= 78.96
The target stock price in one year can be calculated as follows
= 3.76(1+5.1%)×21
= 3.76×(1+0.051)×21
= 3.76×1.051×21
= 82.99
The implied return on company's stock over one year can be calculated as follows
= 82.99-78.96/78.96
= 4.03/78.96
= 0.0510× 100
= 5.10

Adkins Bakery uses the modified half-month convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or sold. Adkins has a calendar year accounting period and uses the straight-line method to compute depreciation expense. On March 17, 2018, Adkins acquired equipment at a cost of $220,000. The equipment has a residual value of $43,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. What amount of depreciation expense will be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2018
Answers
Answer:
Depreciation expense= $36,875
Explanation:
Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.
An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:
Annual depreciation:
= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life
Cost - 220,000
Residual value = 43,000
Estimated useful life = 4 years
Annual depreciation = (220,000- 43,000)/4 =44,250
Annual depreciation = 44,250.
Under the half-month convention, a full month depreciation is charged where an asset is first put to at the middle month of the month.
Thus March 17, 2018 to December 2018 is taken to be 10 full months
Depreciation expense = 44,250.× 10/12 = 36,875
Depreciation expense= $36,875

1. The manufacturing costs for August was:
A. $59,000
B. $67,000
C. $145,000
D. $133,000
2. The cost of goods manufactured for August was:
A. $133,000
B. $142,000
C. $145,000
D. $130,000
Answers

Explanation:
1. Manufacturing cost. This is computed as
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $63,000 + $39,000 + $43,000
= $145,000
2. Cost of goods manufactured. This is computed as;
= Beginning WIP + Direct materials + Direct labor + Allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
= $10,000 + $63,000 + $39,000 + $43,000 - $22,000
= $133,000
You and your family visit Orlando for a week. While there, you decide to go to Universal Studios. When you arrive, you notice that each family member can buy a day pass for $115 or a two-day pass for $150. If you want a three-day pass, the price is $170. Suppose your benefit, measured in utility, is equal to $120 in value the first day you go to the park, $50 more if you go a second day, and $15 more for the third day. What ticket, if any, should you buy
Answers
Answer:
the second day ticket
Explanation:
We would purchase the ticket with the highest net benefit
Net benefit = Benefit - cost of ticket
First day
Net benefit = $120 - $115 = $5
Second day
Net benefit = ($120 + $50) - $150 = $20
Third day
Net benefit = ($170 + $15) - $170 = $15
The second day yields the highest net benefit

She should keep increasing her production so long as the Marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost but should stop at the level where the Marginal benefit and marginal cost become equal because producing past this point would mean that she would incur a marginal loss on each unit.
Simon lost $7,100 gambling this year on a trip to Las Vegas. In addition, he paid $2,730 to his broker for managing his $273,000 portfolio and $500 to his accountant for preparing his tax return. In addition, Simon incurred $3,390 in transportation costs commuting back and forth from his home to his employer's office, which were not reimbursed. Calculate the amount of these expenses that Simon is able to deduct (assuming he itemizes his deductions).
Answers
Answer:
The Deductible amount = $0
Explanation:
The Deductible amount = $0
Reason -
Gambling losses are deductible to extent of winnings. As there is no winning, loss of $7,100 is not deductible.
Simon paid $2,730 to his broker for managing his portfolio and $500 to his accountant for preparing his tax return.
Both investment fees and tax preparation fees were in the past (before 2018) allowed under miscellaneous itemized deductions to the extent the total miscellaneous itemized deductions exceeded 2 percent of taxpayer's adjusted gross income.
However, in 2018 miscellaneous itemized deductions are no longer available.
Hence for 2018 investment fees and tax preparation fees are not deductible.
Transportation Cost of $3,390 for commuting back and forth from home to employer's office is not deductible.
As per IRS commuting expenses are personal expense.
As such:
Deductible amount = $0
Raspberry Company's actuary has computed its prior service cost to be $8,000,000. Raspberry amortizes the prior service cost by the straight-line method over the remaining 20-year service life of its active employees. During the current year, Raspberry also recognizes service cost of $560,000 and interest cost of $100,000. At the beginning of the year, the plan assets were $1,500,000, and the company expects to earn 10% on its plan assets. Compute Raspberry's pension expense for the current year.
Answers
Answer: $910,000
Explanation:
Pension expense is calculated by the formula:
= Prior Service cost for the year+ Service cost + Interest cost - Expected return on plant assets
Prior Service cost = Prior service cost / Service life of active employees
= 8,000,000 / 20
= $400,000
Expected return on plan assets = Plan assets * Interest rate
= 1,500,000 * 10%
= $150,000
Pension expense = 400,000 + 560,000 + 100,000 - 150,000
= $910,000
