Answer:
Market Dominance.
Explanation:
I believe that the best metric to evaluate in such a situation would be Market Dominance. In other words, the percentage of dominance that Carrefour has in its own market, in comparison to the rest of the competition such as Wal-Mart and Tesco. This would allow management to see if they have lost, maintained, or gained market dominance in this period of time which will in term give them an idea of their performance within the market and whether or not they should be worried about the competition.
Problem 10-18 Return on Investment (ROI) and Residual Income [LO10-1, LO10-2] "I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line," said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. "But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown." Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for this year are given below: Sales $ 10,000,000 Variable expenses 6,000,000 Contribution margin 4,000,000 Fixed expenses 3,200,000 Net operating income $ 800,000 Divisional average operating assets $ 4,000,000 The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 15% this year (considering all divisions). Next year the Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an additional investment that would increase average operating assets by $1,000,000. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be: Sales $2,000,000 Variable expenses 60% of sales Fixed expenses $640,000
Solution :

Return on investment is the profitability or the performance measurement tool that determines the percentage of returns being gained from total investments. It determines the efficiency of the investment and its project to generate higher returns from its operations.
The residual income is the net income in the hands of the business after the payment of all operating and nonoperating expenses and other payments.
The total return on investment inclusive of the present and the new line is 19.20%.
The total residual income is $360,000.
The computation of the return on investment is computed in the table attached below.
The formula for determining the residual income is:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Residual Income}&=\text{Net Operating Income}-\left(\text{Average assets}\times\text{Minimum Rate of Return} \right ) \end{aligned}[/tex]

Suppose you want to deposit a certain amount of money into a savings account and then leave it alone to draw interest for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years you would like to have $10,000 in the account. How much do you need to deposit today to make that happen?
Answer:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods (n)= 10 years
Future value (FV)= $10,000
We were not provided with the interest rate. I will assume an interest rate of 7% compounded annually.
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 10,000 / (1.07^10)
PV= $5,083.49
Initial investment= $5,083.49

You purchased 1,000 shares of the New Fund at a price of $38 per share at the beginning of the year. You paid a front-end load of 2.5%. The securities in which the fund invests increase in value by 9% during the year. The fund's expense ratio is 1.3%. What is your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Answer:
1.40%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year
Rate of Return=[($38,000*(1.13-.09))-((1000 x $38/(1-.025))]/[1000 x $38/(1-.025)]
Rate of Return=[$39,520-($38,000/(1-.025))]/-[$38,000/(1-.025)]
Rate of Return=($39,520-38,974.36)/38,974.36
Rate of Return=1.40%
Therefore your rate of return on the fund if you sell your shares at the end of the year will be 1.40%

Use the following information to answer Questions 12 - 15. Below is selected data for Gertup Corporation as of 12/31/05: Gertup has maintained the same inventory levels throughout 2005. If end of year inventory turnover was increased to 12 through more efficient relationships with suppliers, how much cash would be freed up (pick closest number)
Answer:
the cash that should be freed up is $267
Explanation:
The computation of the cash that would be freed up is shown below:
As we know that
The inventory turnover is
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
12 = $14,800 ÷ average inventory
So, the average inventory is 1,233
Now the cash that should be freed up is
= 1,500 - 1,233
= $267
hence, the cash that should be freed up is $267

you observe thundering herd common stoc k selling for $40.00 per share. the next dividen is ecoected to be $2.00, and is expected to grow at a 4% annual rate forever. If your requir4ed rate of return is 12%, you should purchase the stock? A. Yes, because the presemt value of the expected future cash flows is greater than $40 g
Answer:
no, because the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than $40
Explanation:
The computation of the share price present value is given below:
= Next dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $2 ÷ (12% - 4%)
= $25
As we can see that the share price present value would be $25 but the stock selling price is $40 so the present value would be lower than $40 that means the stock should not be purchased

What is the present value of this annuity if the discount rate is 12%
Answer:
Present value of annuity = $102,785.2
Explanation:
An annuity is a series of cashflow expected to be received or paid yearly for a certain number of years
The present value of annuity = A×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n) )/r
Where A is the annual cash flow= 25,000
n- number of years = 6
r- rate per period = 12%
25,000 × 1- (1.12)^(-6)/0.12
25,000× 4.111=$102,785.2
Present value of annuity = $102,785.2

Answer: Check attachment
Explanation:
The flexible budget performance report for the year has been solved and attached.
Note that the selling price per unit was calculated as:
= 400,000 /20,000
= $20 per unit
Therefore, total sales was gotten as:
= 26000 × $20
= $520,000
Variable cost per unit was calculated as:
= 80,000/20,000
= $4 per unit
Then, total cost was:
= $4 × 26,000
= $104,000

The D. Dorner Farms Corporation is considering purchasing one of two fertilizer-herbicides for the upcoming year. The more expensive of the two is better and will produce a higher yield. Assume these projects are mutually exclusive and that the required rate of return is 10 percent. Given the following free cash flows:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$5000 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Required:
a. Calculate the NPV of each project.
b. Calculate the PI of each project.
c. Calculate the IRR of each project.
d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, which project should be selected? If there is a capital-rationing constraint, how should the decision be made?
Question Correction:
The question stated that there is a more expensive fertilizer-herbicide. Therefore, their initial outlays cannot be equal as stated. Instead, the correct cash flows, including initial outlays are:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Answer:
The D. Dorner Farms Corporation
Product A Product B
a. NPV = $136 $454
b. PI = 1.272 1.091
c. IRR = 27.2% 9.08%
d. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, Project B should be chosen despite its poor PI and IRR performances, but for returning a larger NPV.
e. If there is a capital-rationing constraint, Project A should be chosen because of its more impressive PI and IRR performances.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Required rate of return for the projects = 10%
Present factor of 10% for 1 year = 0.909
Free cash flows:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 700 6,000
Present values:
Product A Product B
Initial outlay -$500 -$5000
Inflow year 1 636 5,454
NPV = $136 $454
b) PI (Profitability Index) is a useful tool in capital budgeting which measures the profit potential of a project in order to ease decisions. It is computed by dividing the present value of cash inflows by the initial investment cost. Another formula is: 1 + (NPV/Initial outlay).
Therefore, the PI for each project is calculated as follows:
PI = 1+ (NPV/Initial outlay)
Product A Product B
PI = 1 + ($136/$500) 1 + ($454/$5,000)
= 1.272 1.091
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) = NPV/Initial Outlay
Product A Product B
IRR = $136/$500 * 100 $454/$5,000 * 100
= 27.2% 9.08%
Using information from the news article you read and your knowledge of economics, compose a paragraph in response to the article.

Answer:
I commend the governments of Peachtree City and Fayette County for their recent intervention, which will be beneficial to our economy. Earlier, the city reduced the water level in the lake so that people who live on the lake could maintain the shoreline. When the council started to refill the lake, city staff noted problems with the dam and spillway and brought it to the attention of Fayette County. There were financial constraints to completing this project, but the Peachtree City government decided to spend additional money to finish the project. That was the right course of action. The residents’ properties (and property values) have been restored, and the lake will once again draw visitors to the town to enjoy the lake and spend money in our town’s businesses.

Lauer Corporation uses the periodic inventory system and has provided the following information about one of its laptop computers: Date Transaction Number of Units Cost per Unit 1/1 Beginning Inventory 220 $ 920 5/5 Purchase 320 $ 1,020 8/10 Purchase 420 $ 1,120 10/15 Purchase 260 $ 1,170 During the year, Lauer sold 1,050 laptop computers. What was ending inventory using the FIFO cost flow assumption
Answer:
$198,900
Explanation:
Ending inventory units = Available units for sale - Units sold
Ending inventory units = 220 + 320 + 420 + 260
Ending inventory units = 1,220.
Units sold = 1,050.
Ending inventory units = 1,220 - 1,050
Ending inventory units = 170
As per the FIFO cost flow assumption, sales comprise of units from beginning inventory and earlier purchases. Hence, ending inventory comprises units from latest purchases.
So, ending inventory of 170 units would be valued at the price from 10/15 purchases.
10/15 purchase price per unit = $1,170
Ending inventory value = 170 units x $1,170
Ending inventory value = $198,900
Suppose that an initial $20 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $20 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also assume that GDP and consumption both rise by $18 billion in the second round of the process. Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. a. What is the MPC in this economy
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is calculated by using the formula:
= Change in consumption / Change in income
where,
Change in consumption = $18 billion
Change in income = $20 billion
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
= $18 billion / $20 billion
= 0.9
Therefore, MPC is 0.9.
The accountant at Blackjack Company is figuring out the difference in income taxes the company will pay depending on the choice of either FIFO or LIFO as an inventory costing method. The tax rate is 30% and the FIFO method will result in income before taxes of $3,640. The LIFO method will result in income before taxes of $3,290. What is the difference in tax that would be paid between the two methods
Answer: $105
Explanation:
Taxes under LIFO:
= LIFO income * Tax rate
= 3,290 * 30%
= $987
Taxes under FIFO:
= FIFO income * Tax rate
= 3,640 * 30%
= $1,092
Difference:
= FIFO tax - LIFO tax
= $105
