Explanation:
Dear Mrs Parker,
I'm one of your numerous customers at your coffee shop and I must say it's really an amazing place and you're really doing a great job.
The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you about the few changes that you could make that'll bring further revenue to you and also be of immense benefit to your customers.
Firstly, I believe that you are aware that most of your customers are young people especially college students like myself. Printing out our school works and other printing works are really a challenge to us. There are no printing shops around and we've to take a bus back to the campus anytime we want to print and this is really costly and Tien consuming.
It'll be worth it if you consider setting up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Apart from the fact that the printing service runs at break even price, the benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop.
When the printing shop is opened, the college students among us will find it beneficial as we won't have to go back to the school campus in order to print.
Furthermore, when people come to the printing shop, they'll also realize that there's a coffee shop there as well, and this can bring about an increase in the demand for coffee which ultimately increases the revenue generated from the sale of coffee.
In conclusion, I hope this letter catches your attention which will be beneficial to everyone.

Nash Company purchased a computer for $8,160 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is used, based on a 5-year life and a $1,020 salvage value. On January 1, 2021, the estimates are revised. Nash now feels the computer will be used until December 31, 2022, when it can be sold for $510. Compute the 2021 depreciation. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) Depreciation expense, 2021 $
Answer:
$2,397
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life
therefore,
Annual depreciation charge
2019
Depreciation Charge = $1,428
2020
Depreciation Charge = $1,428
2021
Depreciation Charge = ($8,160 - $1,428 - $1,428 - $510) ÷ 2
= $2,397
therefore,
Depreciation expense, 2021 is $2,397
Cliff's Candy produces and sells boxes of chocolates. When Cliff produces and sells his profit-maximizing quantity of 1,000 boxes, the average total cost is $3.00. If Cliff were to produce 1,100 boxes, the average total cost would be $2.50. Which of the following inefficiencies of monopolistically competitive markets is described in this scenario?
a. Product-variety externality
b. Business-stealing externality
c. Markup over marginal cost
d. Excess capacity
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
The product-variety externality: When new firms enter into an industry, competition drives price down. This increases consumer surplus. As a result, entry of firms into an industry results in a positive externality on consumers.
The business-stealing externality: When a new firm enters into an industry, existing firms lose customers and profits fall. As a result, entry of a new firm results in a negative externality on existing firms.
Markup over marginal cost is the extent of which price exceeds marginal cost
Excess capacity is when a firm is producing at a capacity that is less than what it is designed for. Excess capacity is evidenced when upon increasing output, average cost falls.
The inflation rate in Great Britain is expected to be 4% per year, and the inflation rate in Switzerland France is expected to be 6% per year. If the current spot rate is £1 = SF 12.50, what is the expected spot rate in two years? A) SF12.99 B) SF 10.25 C) SF 11.44 D) SF 8.50 E) None of the above
Answer:
The spot rate in two years time = SF 12.99
Explanation:
The purchasing power parity states that the relationship between the current and future spot rate between two currencies can be linked to the differences in the expected inflation rate between the currency.
This relationship can be expressed as follows:
S1= So× (1 + hc)/(1 + hb)
So= Current spot rate, Hc- inflation rate in Switzerland, Inflation rate in Britain
Spot rate in a year's time
S1= 12.50, Hc=6%, Hc=4%
S1= 12.50× (1.06/1.04)
S1=12.74
Spot rate in two year's time
S1= 12.74× (1.06/1.04)
S1= 12.99
The spot rate in two years time = SF 12.99
Firm Aay operates a pool hall in Boom Town. Business has been very profitable. However, there are dark clouds on the horizon. Firm Bee is considering entering the pool hall market in Boom Town. The profits of Aay are 15 if it is a monopoly; if Bee enters and Aay accommodates and shares the market the duopoly profits are 5 for each firm; is Bee enters and Aay launches a price war, both firms earn -1.
a) Draw the game tree for this scenario and determine the subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE).
b) What if launching a price war involves not only charging a low price, but printing flyers to inform the public of the great deals available? If there is a price war, both firms print flyers, and the net result of the price war is -1 for each firm (that is, the -1 takes into account the cost of printing the flyers.) Assume that Aay can have flyers printed up prior to Bee's entry decision and that the printing cost is $8. Draw the game tree for this scenario and determine the subgame perfect equilibrium.
c) What does your answer to (b) imply about the relationship between sunk costs, firstmover advantages, and entry deterrence? plz type down u answer
Solution :
a). The game tree is attached below. In the game tree, the (SPE) or subgame perfect equilibrium is for Bee firm to enter and Aay firm to accommodate.
b). If launching the price war consists of not only charging low price, but also printing flyers in order to inform the public.
The game tree is attached below.
In the game tree, it can be explained that :
Aay has a priority printing, cost of printing is 8. If he prints and Bee does not enter equilibrium will be (15-8) = 7, 0. Profit if Bee does not enter.
It is given that if Aay enters and Bee enters, there will be price war = -1, -1
or they will accommodate = (5, 8, 5). Here the profit while accommodating is 5 and printing cost is 3. Therefore, (-3, 5)
c). Sunk cost such as that of printing allows Aay to make a credible threat to engage in a prior war and thus deny entry of Bee.
Now when he had first move advantage and make investment in flyers he could make a credible threat and deter entry of Bee. If he did not have the advantage, his treat would not have much of an effect.
ABM, Kaizen Costing Baker, Inc., supplies wheels for a large bicycle manufacturing company. The bicycle company has recently requested that Baker decrease its delivery time. Baker made a commitment to reduce the lead time for delivery from seven days to one day. To help achieve this goal, engineering and production workers had made the commitment to reduce time for the setup activity (other activities such as moving materials and rework were also being examined simultaneously). Current setup times were 12 hours. Setup cost was $600 per setup hour. For the first quarter, engineering developed a new process design that it believed would reduce the setup time from 12 hours to nine hours. After implementing the design, the actual setup time dropped from 12 hours to seven hours. Engineering believed the actual reduction was sustainable. In the second quarter, production workers suggested a new setup procedure. Engineering gave the suggestion a positive evaluation, and they projected that the new approach would save an additional six hours of setup time. Setup labor was trained to perform the new setup procedures. The actual reduction in setup time based on the suggested changes was four hours.
Required:
1. What kaizen setup standard would be used at the beginning of each quarter?
2. How much non-value-added cost was eliminated by the end of two quarters?
Answer and Explanation:
the computation is shown below:
1. Setup Time standard
Here the first quarter standard would be considered i.e. 9 hours so we dont take the actual setup time
The Second quarter is 1 hour that denotes the Expected setup time
2. The Total non-value cost which got eliminated is
Since, The setup time was Decrease from 12 hours to 3 hours.
So, the Total non value added cost eliminated is
= $600 × (12 - 3)
= $600 × 9
= $5,400

a. Assuming that the desired rate of return is 15%, determine the net present value for the proposal.
b. Would management be likely to look with favor on the proposal?
Answer:
$24,460.50
Yes. this is because the NPV is positive
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-150,000
Cash flow in year 1 = $80,000
Cash flow in year 2 = $65,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $50,000
Cash flow in year 4 = $40,000
I = 15%
NPV = $24,460.50
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

REITs pay dividends in order to retain their favorable tax status. As the next chapter on stock explains, corporate dividends are made from earnings. REIT dividends often are not made from earnings but the distributions are made from funds from operations (FFO). REIT accounting earnings are adjusted for noncash expenses such as deprecia-tion to determine funds from operations. In addition, a REIT may sell a property and distribute the proceeds. For these reasons, financial analysts often use FFO instead of earnings to analyze a REIT. Distributions are often more highly correlated with per-share funds from operation than they are with earnings per share (EPS). Consider the following FFO and EPS for Washington Real Estate Trust:
Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Distributions $1.16 1.23 1.31 1.39 1.47 1.55 1.60 1.64 1.68 1.72 1.73 1.74 1.74 1.47 1.20 1.20
FFO
$1.57 1.79 1.96 1.97 2.04 2.05 2.07 2.12 2.31 2.12 2.06 1.96 1.95 1.84 1.69 1.51
EPS
$1.24 1.26 1.38 1.32 1.13 1.09 1.84 0.88 1.34 0.67 0.71 0.60 1.58 0.35 0.55 1.67
To verify that the dividend distribution is more strongly correlated with FFO than with EPS, compute the correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO and to EPS.
Answer:
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO = 0.8393
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to EPS = –0.0880
Explanation:
Let X represents distributions, Y represents FFO, and, Z represents EPS.
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Means of X, Y and Z as well as other values.
Therefore, we have:
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO = (Total of (X - Mean of X) * (Y - Mean of Y)) / ((Total of (X - Mean of X)^2) * (Total of (Y - Mean of Y)^2))^0.5 = 0.7529 / (0.8554 * 0.9408)^0.5 = 0.8393
Correlation coefficients relating the distributions to EPS = (Total of (X - Mean of X) * (Z - Mean of Z)) / ((Total of (X - Mean of X)^2) * (Total of (Z - Mean of Z)^2))^0.5 = –0.1391 / (0.8554 * 2.9200)^0.5 = –0.0880
A pollution tax would be preferable to a system of transferable permits when... a. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable. b. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are steep. c. the marginal costs of damages are relatively stable and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable. d. the marginal costs of damages are relatively stable and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are steep. e. the marginal costs of damages are elastic and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are also elastic.
Answer:
a. the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable.
Explanation:
Pollution can be defined as the physical degradation or contamination of the environment through an emission of harmful, poisonous and toxic chemical substances.
Offset trading refers to a type of trading system that is typically designed for the realization of more efficient pollution control.
This ultimately implies that, an offset trading is a strategic program that allows emerging business firms to pay existing business firms in order to significantly reduce their emissions or pollutants below a specific standard.
Free market in tradable pollution permits simply means giving manufacturing companies and individuals the legal right to pollution of the environment. For example, XYZ company is purchasing the permit of 500 units of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution annually, this simply means it is permitted to pollute the environment by 500 units of CO2 annually.
Additionally, a free market in tradable pollution permits has some sort of benefits as companies can resell their unused permits or devise a cheaper means of reducing pollution. It also compensate companies that significantly reduces its pollution of the environment.
A pollution tax can be defined as a type of tax imposed on business firms that causes pollution and damages to the environment. It is also referred to as Pigovian tax which is a tax on goods with negative externality.
Hence, tradable permits when compared with pollution tax are likely to result in less inefficiency, when the marginal costs of damages are steep and the marginal costs of pollution reduction are relatively stable.

Erik Cartman just took a new position with Colorado Research, Inc. Erik’s first customer, the president of a local bank, wanted a bank image study to be conducted measuring not only the client’s banks’ image, but that of his competitors as well. In designing the research project, Erik talked to several of his friends one night about how they viewed their banks. Erik charged the client for this and billed it as "Exploratory Research NFocus Group." The next day Erik tried to remember most of what his friends had told him. Some of the issues were "closeness to home" of branch locations, "cool online banking," and "friendly tellers." Erik took these issues, made up some of his own and put them into a semantic differential scale format. After the research study, Erik wrote a report and referred to the semantic differential scale he devised as a "Standard Marketing Research Scale to Measure the Construct of Bank Image." What Erik did was:___________
A) correct; he used exploratory research to generate most of the items for his
measurement of bank image
B) correct; although he used some of his own opinions, they were based upon experience and he did make use of a focus group
C) incorrect; the measurement of bank image was incorrect as bank image should be measured only by using Likert scales
D) incorrect; we do not know if the scale Mr. Cartman devised was valid or reliable, but he was unethical in presenting the measurement as"standard marketing research"
E) correct; Erik saved considerable time and money by creating his own measurement of the construct
Answer: D. Incorrect; we do not know if the scale Mr. Cartman devised was valid or reliable but he was unethical
in presenting the measurement as "standard marketing research.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the correct option is D "we do not know if the scale Mr. Cartman devised was valid or reliable but he was unethical in presenting the measurement as "standard marketing research".
He was unethical as he didn't tell his friends that he was collecting the information from them for a research purpose. Also, making up some of the issues regarding his research is not appropriate.
Therefore, the correct option is D.

You need to earn 6% annul real rate of return and, in addition, you need to keep up with the annual inflation rate. Exactly 4 years ago, the expected inflation rate was 2% per year. At that time, you decided to invest in a 7-year annuity with $20,000 deposited at the end of each year. Now, right after you made the 4th deposit, the expected annual inflation rate for the next 3 years is 3% per year. To keep your investment goal of 6% real annual return and keeping up with the new inflation rate, how much more each year for the last 3 years you will need to deposit in addition to the $20,000 per year to reach that goal?
Answer:
"4,000" is the appropriate option.
Explanation:
Given:
Real interest rate,
= 6%
Inflation rate,
= 2%
Annual deposit,
= $20,000
Now,
The nominal interest rate will be:
= [tex]Real \ interest \ rate+Inflation \ rate[/tex]
= [tex]6+2[/tex]
= [tex]8[/tex] (%)
As per the annual deposit, I was making,
= [tex]20000\times 0.6[/tex]
= [tex]1200 \ every \ year[/tex]
Inflation rate rise 3% i.e.,
= [tex]2+3[/tex]
= [tex]5[/tex] (%)
Just to earn 1200, I have to:
= [tex]\frac{1200}{0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]24,000[/tex]
Thus the above is the appropriate answer.
The Chicken Union has experienced bad debt losses of 5% of credit sales in prior periods. At the end of the year, the balance of Accounts Receivable is $124,000 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has an unadjusted credit balance of $1,700. Net credit sales during the year were $198,000. Using the percentage of credit sales method, what is the estimated Bad Debt Expense for the year
Answer:
$9,900
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the percentage of credit sales method estimates bad debt expense by multiplying historical percentage of bad debt losses by the current period's credit sales.
Bad debt expense = Net credit sales × Bad debt loss rate
Bad debt expense = $198,000 × 0.05
Bad debt expense = $9,900
Therefore, estimated bad debt expense for the year is $9,900

Galla Inc. needs to determine a price for a new product. Galla desires a 25% markup on the total cost of the product. Galla expects to sell 8,020 units. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 31 Variable administrative cost per unit 41 Total fixed overhead 48,100 Total fixed administrative 16,060 Using the total cost method what price should Galla charge
Answer:
Selling price= $100
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable product cost per unit $31
Variable administrative cost per unit 41
Total fixed overhead 48,100
Total fixed administrative 16,060
Markup= 25%
Number of units= 8,020
First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed cost:
Total fixed cost= 48,100 + 16,060= $64,160
Unitary total fixed cost= 64,160/8,020= $8
Now, the total unitary cost:
Total unitary cost= 8 + 31 + 41= $80
Finally, the selling price:
Selling price= 80*1.25
Selling price= $100
George, an unskilled worker in the 1930s, toiled 10 hours a day on an assembly line. His hours were long, his wages were low, and his working conditions were unsafe and unpleasant. George would probably have been more sympathetic to the views of John L. Lewis than to those of Samuel Gompers.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The main reason that can be attributed to AFL not recognizing CIO when it was still growing was due to the fact that there was a disagreement over the inclusion of craft unions and industrial unions in the AFL which Samuel Gompers was the leader and membership were only to skilled workers.
Later, John Lewis, whom was the president of United Mine Workers, made a proposal stating that unskilled workers should be included in the industrial unions and this was rejected which led to Lewis breaking with AFL and then went to form CIO.
"Bennett Co. has a potential new project that is expected to generate annual revenues of $247,700, with variable costs of $137,600, and fixed costs of $56,500. To finance the new project, the company will need to issue new debt that will have an annual interest expense of $16,500. The annual depreciation is $22,000 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow?"
Answer:
$40,960
Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow is shown below;
As we know that
Annual Operating Cash Flow is
= EBIT × (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation Expenses
Here,
Earnings Before Interest & Tax [EBIT] = Revenues - Variable Cost - Fixed Costs - Depreciation Expenses
= $247,700 - $137,600 - $56,500 - $22,000
= $31,600
Now
Annual Operating Cash Flow = EBIT × (1 - Tax Rate) + Depreciation Expenses
= $31,600 × (1 - 0.40) + $22,000
= [$31,600 × 0.60] + $22,000
= $18,960 + 22,000
= $40,960

Hence, activities that involve the production or purchase of merchandise and the sale of goods and services to customers, including expenditures related to administering the business, are classified as operating activities.
Pension Plan Entries Yuri Co. operates a chain of gift shops. The company maintains a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. The plan requires quarterly installments to be paid to the funding agent, Whims Funds, by the fifteenth of the month following the end of each quarter. Assume that the pension cost is $157,100 for the quarter ended December 31.

Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
On Dec 31
Pension expense $157,100

A company is planning to purchase a machine that will cost $31,200 with a six-year life and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. The company expects to sell the machine's output of 3,000 units evenly throughout each year. A projected income statement for each year of the asset's life appears below. What is the accounting rate of return for this machine
Answer:
44.87%
Explanation:
Note: Missing word have been attached as picture below
Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Scrap Value) / 2
Average Investment = [$31,200 + $0] / 2
Average Investment = $31,200/2
Average Investment = $15,600
Accounting Rate of Return = Net Income/Average Investment*100
Accounting Rate of Return = $7,000/$15,600 * 100
Accounting Rate of Return = 0.44871795 * 100
Accounting Rate of Return = 44.87%
