Answer:
1. Internet - Bargaining power of buyers
With the internet buyers are much more knowledgeable about goods and services as well as having access to many more vendors. The internet has therefore increased the bargaining power of buyers.
2. Investments - Threat of Substitute Products or Services
Investment into an industry could mean that other companies are being financed to provide the goods and services that the other companies in the industry already create. This is a threat of substitute products and services.
3. Music - Threat of New Entrants
Music is dynamic and keeps evolving such that new entrants are a constant happening. These new musicians could attract the audiences of other musicians so it is a threat to entry.
4. Glass - Bargaining Power of Suppliers
If the specific kind of glass is not easy to get or is sold by one or few companies, this would mean that the bargaining power of suppliers is high due to the scarcity of the glass.
5. Advertisement - Rivalry Among Competitors
Advertisement is a way of telling consumers to buy a product from the company advertising instead of its customers. Advertising is therefore a medium of expression for rivalry amongst competitors.

Sissac Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $470 per month plus $101 per job plus $24 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in May to be 12 jobs and 123 meals, but the actual activity was 9 jobs and 126 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in May was $4,240. The spending variance for catering supplies in May would be closest to:
Answer:$163 which is favorable
Explanation:
Standard Cost per month is given as =Actual Quantity × Standard Rate
= Actual activity for number of jobs per month × Standard rate per job + Actual activity for meals× standard Rate per meal + Cost of Catering supplies
= 9 jobs×$101 per job + 126 meals × $24 per meal +$470
= $909 + $3,024 + $470 = $4,403
Also, Spending Variance = Actual cost of Catering in May- Standard cost of catering per month.
$4,240- $4,403= $163---- Favorable . This is because the actual cost for catering supplies is less than the Standard cost estimated.
A company's overhead rate is 60% of direct labor cost. Using the following incomplete accounts, determine the cost of direct materials used.

Factory Overhead
93,240 90,720
Answer:
Materials used during the period $ 113,120
Explanation:
The credit side of the Factory overhead is the applied overhead
Thus: 90,720 os 60% of labor: 90,720 / 0.6 = 151,200
Good in Process
Beginning Balance 100,800
Materials X
Labor 151,200
Overhead 90,720
Transferred-out (Y)
Ending Balance 131,040
Finished Goods
The debit of 324,800 represents the amount transferred out from Goods in Process. Having this, we can solve for direct materials
Beginning Balance 100,800
Materials X
Labor 151,200
Overhead 90,720
Transferred-out (324,800)
Ending Balance 131,040
material = 131,040 + 324,800 - 90,720 - 151,200 - 100,800 = 113,120

Answer: there are no factors other than globalization which influence the economic conditions of a country
Explanation:
Globalization is the movement of goods, services, human beings, technologies, capital etc around the world. Globalization promotes interactions between people in different parts of the world.
Since Donna Bader, whom is a globalization opponent believes that globalization does more harm than good to countries, her conclusion could have been gotten from the assumption that "there are no factors other than globalization which influence the economic conditions of a country".
In this scenario, such economy are only influenced by globalization and in a case whereby there's trade dispute or war between the country and other countries which could impede imports or affect communication or other things which can disrupt globalization to effectively take place, such economy can be affected.

The Tamarisk Heritage Centre (a not-for-profit organization providing language and arts and crafts programs for children) received a lump-sum grant from the City of Moncton of $483,820 this year. The fixed costs of the Centre are expected to be $239,800. The average variable cost per child visit is expected to be $8.70, and the average fee collected per child visit is $3.80.What is the breakeven volume in patient visits? (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)
Answer:

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
$239,800 / ( $8.70 - $3.80) = 48,939 patients
Currently, the dividend-payout ratio (DIE) for the aggregate market is 60 percent, the required return (k) is 11 percent, and the expected growth rate for dividends (g) is 5 percent.
a. Compute the current earnings multiplier.
b. You expect the DIE payout ratio to decline to 50 percent, but you assume there will be no other changes. What will be the P/E? c. Starting with the initial conditions, you expect the dividend-payout ratio to be constant, the rate of inflation to increase by 3 percent, and the growth rate to increase by 2 percent. Compute the expected P/E.
d. Starting with the initial conditions, you expect the dividend-payout ratio to be constant, the rate of inflation to decline by 3 percent, and the growth rate to decline by 1 percent. Compute the expected PIE.
Answer:
A. 10x
B.8.33x
C.8.57x
D.15x
Explanation:
a. Computation of current earnings multiplier
Using this formula
Current earnings multiplier=Dividend-payout ratio/(Required return-Expected growth rate for dividends)
Where,
Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)= 0.60
Required return (k) = 0.11
Expected growth rate for dividend (g)= 0.05
Let plug in the formula
Current Earning multiplier =0.60/(0.11−0.05)
Current Earning multiplier=0.60/0.06
Current Earning multiplier=10x
Therefore the Current Earning multiplier will be 10x
b. Calculation for the what will be the P/E
Using this formula
P/E=Expected decline D/E payout ratio /(Required return-Expected growth rate for dividends)
Where,
Expected decline D/E payout ratio=0.50
Required return (k) = 0.11
Expected growth rate for dividend (g)= 0.05
Let plug in the formula
P/E=0.50/(0.11-0.05)
P/E=0.50/0.60
P/E=8.33x
Therefore the P/E will be 8.33x
c. Computation for increase in expected P/E
Using this formula
Increase in Expected P/E=Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)/(Increase in rate of inflation - Increase in growth rate )
Let plug in the formula
Where,
Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)=0.60
Increase in rate of inflation =(0.11+0.03=0.14)
Increase in growth rate=(0.05+0.02=0.07)
Let plug in the formula
Increase in Expected P/E=0.60/[(0.11+0.03)-(0.05+0.02)]
Increase in Expected P/E=0.60/(0.14-0.07)
Increase in Expected P/E=0.60/0.07
Increase in Expected P/E=8.57x
Therefore the increase in expected P/E will be 8.57x
d .Computation for decline in the expected P/E
Using this formula
Decline in the expected P/E=Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)/(Decline in rate of inflation - Decline in growth rate )
Let plug in the formula
Where,
Dividend-payout ratio(D/E)=0.60
Decline in rate of inflation =(0.11-0.03=0.08)
Decline in growth rate=(0.05-0.01=0.04)
Let plug in the formula
Decline in the expected P/E=0.60/[(0.11-0.03) -(0.05-0.01)
Decline in the expected P/E=0.60/(0.08-0.04)
Decline in the expected P/E=0.60/0.04
Decline in the expected P/E=15x
Therefore the Decline in the expected P/E will be 15x.

You have just made your first $5,900 contribution to your retirement account. Assume you earn a return of 11 percent per year and make no additional contributions. What will your account be worth when you retire in 36 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Future value $ What if you wait 10 years before contributing? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Future value $
Answer:
$252,626.70
$88,971.20
Explanation:
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
Value in 36 years :
$5,900 (1.11)^36 = $252,626.70
Value in 26 (36 -10) years :
$5,900 (1.11)^26 =$88,971.20

if we follow Little's Law and its assumptions: L = λW
L = average number of clients in line = 12λ = arrival or departure rate = 4 per minuteW = average waiting timeW = L / λ
average waiting time = average number of clients in line / average number of clients arriving (or departing) = 12 / 4 = 3 minutes
Little's Law can also be written as I = RT
I = L
R = λ
Which of the following statements about tax rate structures is true? A. Regressive rate structures are illegal in the United States. B. A tax with a graduated rate structure must be either regressive or progressive. C. A proportionate rate structure is the only structure resulting in vertical equity. D. None of the above is true.

Old Time Savings Bank pays 3% interest on its savings accounts. If you deposit $1,800 in the bank and leave it there. Required:a. How much interest will you earn in the first year? b. How much interest will you earn in the second year? c. How much interest will you earn in the tenth year?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the interest in the following years are shown below:
a. For the first year
= Deposits made in the bank × (1 + interest rate) - deposits made in bank
= $1,800 × (1 + 3%) - $1,800
= $54
b. For the second year
= Deposits made in the bank × (1 + interest rate)^ - deposits made in bank × (1 + interest rate)
= $1,800 × (1 + 3%)^ - $1,800 × (1 + 3%)
= $55.62
c. For the tenth year
= Deposits made in the bank × (1 + interest rate)^n - deposits made in bank × (1 + interest rate)^n
= $1,800 × (1 + 3%)^10 - $1800 × (1 + 3%)^9
= $70.46
A production possibilities frontier (PPF) is bowed outward as a result of:____.1) constant opportunity costs.2) increasing opportunity costs.3) decreasing opportunity costs.4) scarcity.5) choice.
Answer: 2) increasing opportunity costs
Explanation:
The Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) measures how much of one good an economy would have to give up to be able to produce more of another good.
Resources in the economy are scarce so a trade-off needs to be made to determine how much resources would go into one good and how much into the other. This is why when more resources go to one good, less of the other is produced.
This is what the PPF shows. As we produce one more of one good, we produce less of the other good meaning the opportunity cost ( not producing the other good) of producing more of one good increases as we keep producing it.
