Explanation:
At the beginning of 2004, the Alaska Corporation had 2 million shares of common stock outstanding and no preferred stock. At the end of August, 2004, Alaska issued 600,000 new shares of common stock. If Alaska reported net income equal to $8.8 million, what was the firm's earnings per share for 2004
Answer:
$4
Explanation:
Earning per share (EPS) refers to earnings available to common shareholders which is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding equals the original 2 million shares plus 4/12 of the additional 600,000 shares.
The 4/12 weight is used because the new shares were only outstanding 4 months of the year.
Hence,
EPS = $8.8 million / [2 million + (4/12)(600,000)
EPS = $8.8 / $2.2
EPS = $4
Assuming you have to pay $6.00 to play the game, explain what happens in the long run. (Is it a good idea to play the game
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
We create a probability distribution for the play and winning :
Possible winning, X = 0, 7, 20
Probability of winning :
Sum of 2 die rolls ; sample space = 6² = 36
P(winning 0) = (sum ≠ 2,3,5 or 6)/ sample space = 24 / 36 = 2/3
P(winning 20) = (sum = (2 or 3) / Sample space) = 9 / 36 = 1/4
P(winning 7) = (sum = (5or6) / sample space) = 3 / 36 = 1/12
Distribution table :
X _____ 0 _______ 7 _____ 20
P(x) ___ 2/3 _____ 1/4 ____ 1/12
Expected value of the game ; E(X) ;
E(X) = Σx*p(x)
E(X) = (0*2/3) + (7*1/4) + (20*1/12)
E(X) = 0 + 1.75 + 1.6667
E(X) = 3.417
E(X) = 3.42
This means the mean winning after a long play is expected to be $3.42
To know if the game should be paku in the long run : we calculate the payoff
Expected Value - cost of paly
Cost of play = $6
Payoff = 3.42 - 6 = - 2.58
Since, payoff is negative, the game should not be played.
Consider the oil-producing countries of A, B, and C. Each has a marginal cost of zero. World demand is given by Q = 995 – P. Suppose the three countries form a cartel, and that none of them has an incentive to deviate from the cartel. By how many units lower is the total output of oil under the cartel relative to the Cournot solution?
Answer:
248.75 units
Explanation:
world demand ( Q ) = 995 - P
marginal cost of each country = 0
Determine how much less oil is produced under the cartel arrangement in relation to the Cournot solution
under the Cournot model solution
Total output = 3 [ (995 – 0) / ((3+1)*1) ]
= 3 * ( 995 / 4 ) = 746.25 units
Considering the cartel arrangement
MR = MC = 0
995 - 2Q = 0
∴ Q = 995 / 2 = 497.5 units
Therefore the difference between oil produced under the cartel arrangement and the Cournot solution
= 746.25 - 497.5
= 248.75 units

Anyina Corporation has an actual profit of $80,000. The break-even point is $500,000 and the variable expenses are 60% of sales. Given this information, the margin of safety, based on actual sales, is:
Answer:
Margin of safety = $200,000
Explanation:
Given:
Actual profit = $80,000
Break-even point = $500,000
Variable expenses = 60% of sales
Find:
Margin of safety
Computation:
Assume sales = a
So,
Variable expenses = 0.6a
Pv ratio = [(Sales - Variable expenses) / Sales]100
Pv ratio = [(a - 0.6a)/a]100
Pv ratio = 40%
Margin of safety = Profit / Pv ratio
Margin of safety = 80,000 / 40%
Margin of safety = $200,000
Green Thumb Nursery has 53,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $63.57 per share. The earnings per share are $3.57. The firm has total assets of $362,000 and total liabilities of $207,000. Today, the firm announced a share repurchase for $117,000 of its stock. What is the earnings per share after the repurchase
Answer: $3.70
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Net income / Number of shares
Net income = Earnings per share * Number of shares
= 3.57 * 53,000
= $189,210
The number of shares that Green Thumb bought back is:
= Stock repurchase amount / Market price of shares
= 117,000 / 63.57
= 1,840 shares
After the repurchase the number of shares is:
= 53,000 original shares - 1,840
= 51,160 shares
New EPS = 189,210 / 51,160
= $3.70

Answer: Hello I was able to find the Major part of the question online as attached below
answer :
Net present value ( NPV ) = $153353.91
Explanation:
NPV = ( Present value of Cash Inflow) - ( Present value of Cash outflow) -- ( 1 )
present value of cash inflow
i) cosmetic products = ( 5500 * 1.25 * 12) * ( 6.8137) (cost of capital )) = 562130.25
ii) land sale = ( 1500 * 300 * 1.25 ) * ( 0.8186 ) ( cost of capital )) = 179212.5
∑ present value of cash inflow = 741342.75
Present value of cash outflow ( other expenses )
∑ present value of cash outflow = 587,988.84
NPV = 741,342.75 - 587,988.84 = $153,353.91
Common stock holders: Group of answer choices have one vote in the election of how the company operates. are last in line to receive income. are guaranteed to get paid when the company fails. receive income before preferred stockholders.

Assume that an investor purchased a put option on BP with an exercise price of $1.900 for $0.0215 per unit. There are 31,250 units in a GBP options contract. At the time of the option expiration date, the spot price for GBP was $1.885. What was the net profit/loss on this option to the investor?
a. $203.125
b. $671.8750
c. $468.75
d. $1,140.625
Answer:
a. $203.125
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the net profit/loss on this option to the investor
Net profit/loss=((1.900 - 1.885) - 0.0215)(31,250)
Net profit/loss=(0.015-0.0215)*31,250
Net profit/loss=0.0065*31,250
Net profit/loss=$203.125
Therefore the net profit/loss on this option to the investor will be $203.125

Kansas Company acquired a building valued at $150,000 for property tax purposes in exchange for 10,000 shares of its $5 par common stock. The stock is widely traded and sold for $16 per share. At what amount should the building be recorded by Kansas Company
Answer:
$160000
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the amount that should be recorded.
The actual value of building = $150000
Number of shares = 10000 shares
The stock is traded at the price = $16 per shares
The Kansas company should record the amount of building = total share x Sell price
The Kansas company should record the amount of building = 10000 x 16
The Kansas company should record the amount of building = $160000 (fair market value or price of shares)
Using a value at risk (VaR) model based on historical data to forecast future expected losses works well:_______
a. all the time.
b. during times of normal market conditions.
c. during times of increased market volatility.
Answer:
b. during times of normal market conditions.
Explanation:
Using a value at risk (VaR) model based on historical data to forecast future expected losses works well: "during times of normal market conditions."
The above statement is true because VaR regardless of the models does not measure the drastic or uncertain situation. Also given that it is used based on historical data, then it is believed to work better on the assumption of normal circumstances.
g e-Dynamix Technologies, another electronics manufacturing firm, in important factors such as manufacturing capability and adaptability to market conditions. Which of the following terms best describes Futura-Core's abilities in comparison to Core-Dynamix? A. absolute advantage B. collective bargaining C. comparative advantage D. competitive advantage
Complete Question:
Futura-Core Technologies, an electronics manufacturing firm, has advantages in financial capability and sustainability, but a disadvantage in speed of innovation. It is also at a disadvantage relative to Core-Dynamix Technologies, another electronics manufacturing firm, in important factors such as manufacturing capability and adaptability to market conditions.
Answer:
C. comparative advantage
Explanation:
Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.
Generally, comparative advantage gives a country or business firm a stronger sales margin than their competitors because they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.
Hence, the term which best describes Futura-Core's abilities in comparison to Core-Dynamix is comparative advantage.
Supplies are assets until they are used. When they are used up, their costs are reported as expenses. The costs of unused supplies are recorded in a Supplies asset account. Supplies are often grouped by purpose—for example, office supplies and store supplies. Office supplies include paper, toner, and pens. Store supplies include packaging and cleaning materials.
Question Completion:
Describe the accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses.
Answer:
Supplies Expenses are debited while the Supplies account is credited with the supplies expenses.
Explanation:
This accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses reduces the balance of the Supplies account by the amount of supplies used during the period. Thus, what is left in the Supplies account is the cost of the unused supplies at the end of the accounting period. The treatment also accords with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues that they generate in the period.

Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 400 shares of Internet Dreams at $20 per share. She borrows $2,500 from her broker to help pay for the purchase. The interest rate on the loan is 7%. a. What is the margin in Dée’s account when she first purchases the stock?
Answer: $5500
Explanation:
The margin in Dée’s account when she first purchases the stock will be calculated thus:
First, we calculate the value of the 400 shares which will be:
= 400 × $20
= $8000
Since the borrowed amount is $2500, therefore the margin will be:
= Purchase price - Borrowed amount
= $8000 - $2500
= $5500
Therefore, the margin is $5500

1. Deirdre has one hour this afternoon in which she can either practice the piano for the upcoming school concert, work at
the library for $7 per hour, or babysit her neighbor's son for $10 per hour. Deirdre chooses to practice the piano, but
if she hadn't chosen to practice the piano, she would have chosen to babysit over working at the library. What is the
opportunity cost of Deirdre's decisions
A. The value gained from practicing the piano for an hour.
B. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son for an hour.
C. The value of working at the library for an hour.
D. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son and working at the library for an hour.
Answer:
The correct answer is B) The value of taking care of her neighbours son for 60 minutes.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost belongs more in the parlance of microeconomics and is used to describe the idea that one cannot have everything all the time. There are alternative ends competing for limited means. In order words, when we decide to take a course of action, in the hope of achieving a thing or getting a reward, there is always another benefit forgone.
So knowing that there is an opportunity that was foregone helps the microeconomist to think carefully about what they want to achieve using the limited resources at their disposal.
Further simplified, if I have $5 dollars to spend, and that amount can purchase either a cupcake or a cup of ice cream, the one I chose to buy becomes the opportunity taken, whilst the alternative forgone is the opportunity cost.
Therefore, the cost of an item is not just the amount of money for which it was purchased, but all other alternatives with which the same amount could have been purchased.
In the question above, Deidre would have chosen to babysit her neighbor's son. That to her is the next best use of her time, and therefore the opportunity cost. According to the question, she wouldn't have worked in the library even if she had nothing else to do. Hence, that does not pass as opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost must be an alternative choice and is very subjective.
Cheers!

Explanation:
Kanye, Jonny, Jaco, and Neil are trying to form a band. They each have some basic skills on most instruments, so their current plan is for each of them to rotate among vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. After a year of practice and rehearsals the band still sounds awful. Kanye cannot keep a steady beat when on bass or drums, Jaco sounds terrible on everything except the bass, nobody except Jonny can remember all the chords on guitar, and even Neil's own mother thinks his singing sounds like a dying cow. At their current rate, they expect it will be several years before they are good enough to land their first paid performance. None of them have enough money saved up to last that long. They all know you are taking economics and ask your advice. What would you say to them?

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.
3- Abandon the band, as continued practice is doomed to suffer diminishing marginal returns.
4- Invest their remaining savings in new instruments, as they are at a point where the marginal product of capital exceeds the marginal product of labor.
5- Change the rotation to be random rather than equal, to take advantage of heteroskedasticity.
Specialisation is when a person focuses on an activity in which they are efficient in or have a comparative advantage in
A person has a comparative advantage in production if he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people
Jaco seems to be efficient at playing bass, thus he should specialise in this activity
Jonny seems to be efficient at playing the guitar, thus he should specialise in this activity
An advantage of specialisation : Increased efficiency as a result of carrying out the same activity multiple time.
