Negotiation
This is simply a social process through which interdependent people with conflicting interests finds out how they will allocate resources or work together in the future. It is also defined as discussion process or procedures by which two or more parties aim for mutually acceptable agreement. Those involved are called negotiators.
An Audience
This is simply regarded as any person or group of individuals who are not directly involved in, influenced or affected by a negotiation. They do have a chance to observe and react to the ongoing events and sometimes are drawn into the negotiation.
The effect of audience on negotiator includes making them to
1. Try harder and act tougher that is If they know they are under surveillance, negotiators will use distributive bargaining manner.
2. Seek positive reactions
3. Push them into irrational behavior
Hurte-Paroxysm Products, Inc. (HP) of the United States exports computer printers to Brazil, whose currency, the reals (symbol R$) havebeen trading at R$3.40/US$. Exports to Brazil are currently 50,000 printers per year at the reals equivalent of $200 each. A strong rumor exists that the reals will be devalued to R$4.00/$ within two weeks by the Brazilian government. Should the devaluation take place, the exchange rate isexpected to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. Based on this forecast, HP Products may either (1) maintain the same realprice and sell for fewer dollars, in which case Brazilian volume will not change, or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the realprice in Brazil to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume. Direct costs in the U.S. are 60% of the U.S. sales price.
Required:
a. What would be the short-run (one-year) impact of each pricing strategy?
b. Which do you recommend?
If HP maintains the same real price and same unit volume, what will be the firm's gross profits?
Answer:
Hurte-Paroxysm Products, Inc. (HP)
The short-run impact of each pricing strategy is as follows:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $170 Maintain Price of $200
Gross profit $2,500,000 $3,200,000
Reduction in Gross Profit $1,500,000 $800,000
b. (2) maintain the same dollar price of $200, raise the real price in Brazil (to R$800 from R$680)to compensate for the devaluation, and experience a 20% drop in volume.
c. If HP maintains the same real price and same unit volume, the firm's gross profits will be $2,500,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Exchange rate = R$3.40/US$
Current exports of printers per year to Brazil = 50,000
US unit price of printer in dollars = $200
Brazil unit price of printer in R$ equivalent = R$680 ($200 * R$3.40)
Unit price of printer in R$ when reals is devalued = R$800 ($200 * R$4.00)
The reduced dollar price with devaluation, when real price is maintained = $170 (R$680/R$4.00)
Before Devaluation of Brazil's Real (R$):
Sales volume 50,000
Sales revenue $10,000,000 (50,000 * $200)
Direct costs 6,000,000 (50,000 * $120)
Gross profit $4,000,000
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $170 Maintain Price at $200
Sales volume 50,000 40,000 (50,000 * 80%)
Sales revenue $8,500,000 $8,000,000 ($200 * 40,000)
Direct costs 6,000,000 4,800,000 ($120 * 40,000)
Gross profit $2,500,000 $3,200,000 ($80 * 40,000)
Direct costs = $6m ($120 * 50,000) = $4.8m ($120 * 40,000)

Lunar coast Incorporated issued BBB bonds two years ago that provided a yield to maturity of 12.5
percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.5 percent at that time. The current
risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the riskfree long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what rate should Lunar
coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer:
"9.80%" is the appropriate solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Yield to maturity,
= 12.5%
Risk free gov. bond,
= 8.5%
Long terms gov. bond,
= 7.8%
Now,
The current speed between bonds such as BBB as well as government will be:
= [tex]\frac{12.5-8.5}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]2.00 \ percent[/tex]
hence,
The expected rate will be:
= [tex]7.8+2.00[/tex]
= [tex]9.80 \ percent[/tex]
You run a coffee shop where demand is constant week to week. You use 10 bags of roasted coffee each week. Currently, you order whole roasted coffee beans from an out-of-town supplier who charges $20 per bag and a fixed cost of $100 per delivery. Storage for each bag per month is estimated at $1. Assume your coffee shop operates for 52 weeks and 12 months per year. Assume there are no lead times.
Required:
a. Under these costs, what is the optimal order size (in bags)?
b. How often (in months) do I place an order under my solution to part a?
c. What are my annual total costs (including purchasing costs) under my solution to part a?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Under these costs, what is the optimal order size (in bags)?
Periods per year = 52 weeks.
Weekly demand = 10bags
Annual demand, D = 10 × 52 = 520
Set up cost, S = $100
Item cost = $20.00
Holding cost per year, H= $12.00
We'll then calculate the economic order quantity, Q which will be:
= ✓2×S×D/H
= ✓(2×100×520/12
= ✓104000/12
= ✓8667
= 93
Optimal order size = 93 bags
b. How often (in months) do I place an order under my solution to part a?
Time between orders will be:
= Period per year / Orders per year
= 12 / 5.59
= 2.15
c. What are my annual total costs (including purchasing costs) under my solution to part a?
Annual total cost will be:
= Holding cost + Order cost + Purchase cost
= $11,517.14
Note that:
Orders per year = D/Q = 520/93 = 5.59
Given the following information: Percent of capital structure: Preferred stock 10 % Common equity (retained earnings) 40 Debt 50 Additional information: Corporate tax rate 34 % Dividend, preferred $ 7.00 Dividend, expected common $ 2.50 Price, preferred $ 104.00 Growth rate 8 % Bond yield 9 % Flotation cost, preferred $ 9.40 Price, common $ 76.00 Calculate the weighted average cost of capital for Digital Processing Inc.
Answer: 8.23%
Explanation:
Firstly, we will calculate the cost of debt which will be:
= Yield (1-Tax rate)
= 9% × (1-0.34)
= 9% × 0.66
= 5.94%
Then, the Cmcost of preferred stock will be:
= 7/(104-9.40)
= 7/(94.6)
= 7.39%
We will also get the value of the cost of equity which will be:
= (Dividend expected common/Price common) + growth rate
= (2.50/76) + 8%
= 3.29% + 8%
= 11.29%
For Debt:
Cost after tax: 5.94
Weight = 50%
Weighted cost = 5.94 × 50% = 2.97
For Preferred stock:
Cost after tax: 7.39
Weight = 1%
Weighted cost = 7.39 × 10% = 0.74
For Common equity
Cost after tax: 11.29
Weight = 40%
Weighted cost = 11.29 × 40% = 4.52
Weighted average cost of capital = 2.97 + 0.74 + 4.52 = 8.23%
When a company uses a
allocation rate there is only one base for allocating all overhead costs to products or other cost objects.
Answer:
company-wide
Explanation:
Using a single company-wide allocation rate implies that only one cost driver (or cost base) is used to allocate all the overhead costs to the product units, batches, departments, or divisions, and other cost objects. This single rate is the plant-wide or company-wide allocation rate. It is opposed to the use of multiple allocation rates, where different rates are calculated and used to allocate overhead costs from different cool pools to the units or activities consuming the services. The company-wide allocation rate is typical with traditional costing method, while the multiple allocation rates are used with ABC costing method.
Highgrove Industries must decide which process technology to adopt, given the information below. Cost Technology A Technology B Technology C Price per unit $3 $3 $3 Fixed costs per year $80,000 $120,000 $130,000 Variable costs per unit $2.20 $1.85 $1.65 Which one of the process technologies would you recommend they adopt if the expected demand is 100,000 units
Answer:
Technology C
Explanation:
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable cost * (Number of Units)
Total Cost for Technology A = $80000 + $2.20*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology A = $300,000
Total Cost for Technology B = $120,000 + $1.85*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology B = $305,000
Total Cost for Technology C = $130,000 + $1.65*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology C = $195,000
Conclusion: The minimum total cost for 100,000 Unit is for process technology C, Hence this technology would be recommended
Pearson Electric Company uses the high-low method to analyze mixed costs. The following information relates to the production data for the first six months of the year. Month Cost(Y) Hours(H) January $ 7,300 260 February $ 9,125 730 March $ 7,540 410 April $ 7,485 330 May $ 9,460 980 June $ 9,030 705 How should the cost function be properly stated using the high-low method?
Answer: 6520 + 3x
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to calculate the variable cost per hour which will be:
= (Highest activity cost – Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity hour – Lowest activity hour)
= (9460 - 7300)/(980 - 260)
= 2160 / 720
= 3
We'll also find the fixed cost which will be:
= Fixed cost = Highest activity cost – (Variable cost per hour x Highest activity hour)
= 9460 - ( 3 x 980)
= 9460 - 2940
= 6520
Therefore, the cost function will be:
= 6520 + 3x

A machine cost $1104000, has annual depreciation of $184000, and has accumulated depreciation of $874000 on December 31, 2020. On April 1, 2021, when the machine has a fair value of $253000, it is exchanged for a machine with a fair value of $1242000 and the proper amount of cash is paid. The exchange had commercial substance. The new machine should be recorded at $1127000. $1242000. $989000. $1219000.
Answer:
$1,242,000
Explanation:
The new machine is to be recorded at its Fair Value which is $1,242,000 because the exchange has a commercial substance. Asset forgone is credited by its original cost, and accumulated depreciation till date of exchange is debited. Cash paid and loss or gain is adjusted as required. But the new asset is debited by the amount of its Fair Value on the day of exchange.

Explanation:
Allure Company manufactures and distributes two products, M and XY. Overhead costs are currently allocated using the number of units produced as the allocation base. The controller has recommended changing to an activity-based costing (ABC) system. She has collected the following information: Activity Cost Driver Amount M XY Production setups Number of setups $82,000 8 12 Material handling Number of parts 48,000 56 24 Packaging costs Number of units 130,000 80,000 50,000 $260,000 What is the total overhead per unit allocated to Product M using activity-based costing (ABC)
Answer:
Unitary cost= $1.83
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Production setups= 82,000/20= $4,100 per setup
Material handling= 48,000/80= $600 per part
Packaging costs= 130,000/130,000= $1 per unit
Now, we allocate cost to Product M:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Production setups= 4,100*8= 32,800
Material handling= 600*56= 33,600
Packaging costs= 1*80,000= 80,000
Total= $146,400
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 146,400 / 80,000
Unitary cost= $1.83
oneycutt Co. is comparing two different capital structures. Plan I would result in 39,000 shares of stock and $108,000 in debt. Plan II would result in 33,000 shares of stock and $324,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent. a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $160,000. The all-equity plan would result in 42,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans
Answer:
All equity plan:
EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81
Plan I:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91
Plan II:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16
Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives.

You've observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer's stock over the past five years: 10 percent, -10 percent, 17 percent, 22 percent, and 10 percent. Suppose the average inflation rate over this period was 1.5 percent and the average T-bill rate over the period was 3 percent.
a. What was the average real return on Crash-n-Burn's stock?
b. What was the average nominal risk premium on Crash-n-Burn's stock?
Answer:
Crash-n-Burn Computers
a. The average real return on Crash-n-Burn's stock is:
= 8.3%
b. The average nominal risk premium on Crash-n-Burn's stock is:
= 6.8%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average inflation rate = 1.5%
Average T-bill rate = 3%
Returns on stock:
Year 1 = 10%
Year 2 = -10%
Year 3 = 17%
Year 4 = 22%
Year 5 = 10%
Total returns = 49%
Average returns = Total returns/number of years
= 9.8% (49%/5)
Average real returns
= Average returns on the stock minus the inflation rate
= 8.3% (9.8% - 1.5%)
Average nominal risk premium = return on the stock minus the return on the T-bill
= 9.8% - 3%
= 6.8%
when originally issued, an investment in bonds of Flushing Dough, Inc., promised to provide an annual coupon of 7.50%. The bonds have 4 years until maturity, a market price of $735, and are expected to pay all coupon on time. At maturity, however, the bonds are only forecasted to pay 84% of their par value. What is the likely yield to maturity on the bonds
Answer:
13.14%
Explanation:
Yield to maturity on the bonds is derived using the Ms RATE function:
Yield to maturity = RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)
Yield to maturity = RATE(4, 7.50%*1000, -735, 84%*1000)
Yield to maturity = 0.131435387
Yield to maturity = 13.14%
Hence, the likely yield to maturity on the bonds is 13.14%

Orange Corporation has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project: Investment in depreciable equipment $ 520,000 Annual net cash flows $ 78,000 Life of the equipment 10 years Salvage value $ 0 Discount rate 6 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The payback period for the investment would be: Multiple Choice 1.0 years 0.2 years 4.7 years 6.7 years
Answer:
6.7 years
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Investment = $520,000
Net cash flow = $78,000
Life of equipment = 10 years
So, we can calculate the payback period for investment by using following formula,
Payback period for investment = Initial Investment ÷ Net cash flow
= $520,000 ÷ $78,000
= 6.67 years or 6.7 years
Iggy Company is considering three capital expenditure projects. Relevant data for the projects are as follows.
Project Investment Annual Income Life of Project
22A $243,500 $17,320 6 years
23A 271,400 20,600 9 years
24A 283,000 15,700 7 years
Annual income is constant over the life of the project. Each project is expected to have zero salvage value at the end of the project. Iggy Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation.
Determine the internal rate of return for each project. (Round answers 0 decimal places)
Answer:
22A = 19.98 %
Explanation:
the internal rate of return for each project.
The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms whose business risk is the same but that have different dividend policies. Gecko pays no dividend, whereas Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 6 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate is zero, whereas the income tax rate is 40 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings growth rate of 10 percent annually, and its stock price is expected to grow at this same rate.
Required:
If the aftertax expected returns on the two stocks are equal (because they are in the same risk class), what is the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock?
Answer:
12.4%
Explanation:
After-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = After-Tax Return - Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 10 - 6*(1-40%)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 6.4%
Pre-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield
Pre-Tax Return = 6.4% + 6%
Pre-Tax Return = 12.4%
Hence, the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock is 12.4%
Transformational leadership is a positive predictor of job performance and organizational commitment.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True

Acort Industries owns assets that will have a 75% probability of having a market value of $52 million in one year. There is a 25% chance that the assets will be worth only $22 million. The current risk-free rate is 5%, and Acort's assets have a cost of capital of 10%. a) If Acort is unlevered, what is the current market value of its equity? b) Suppose instead that Acort has debt with a face value of $18 million due in one year. According to MM (i.e. perfect market), what is the value of Acort's equity in this case? c) What is the expected return of Acort's equity without leverage? What is the expected return of Acort's equity with leverage? d) What is the lowest possible realized return of Acort's equity with and without leverage?
Solution :
a). The current market value of the unlevered equity
[tex]$=\frac{75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million}}{1+10 \%}$[/tex]
= $ 40.45 million
b). The market value of the equity one year from now is
[tex]$=(75\% \times \$52 \text{ million} + 25\% \times \$22 \text{ million})- \$18 \ \text{million}$[/tex]
= $ 44.5 million - $ 18 million
= $ 26.5 million
c). The expected return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The expected return on the equity with the leverage = [tex]$=10\% +\frac{ \$22 \text{ million}}{\$ 26.5 \text{ million}}$[/tex]
= 0.93 %
d). The lowest possible value of equity without the leverage = $20 million - $ 18 million
= $ 2 million
The lowest return on the equity without the leverage = 10%
The lowest return on the equity with the leverage = 2 % as the equity is eroded.

Jennings Hardware Store marks up its merchandise by 30%. If a part costs $25.00, which of the following is true?
a. The price is $7.50.
b. The markup is $32.50.
c. The price is $32.50.
d. The markup is pure profit.
e. All of these choices are correct.
Answer:
Overall operating profit will decrease by $25,000
Price is $32.5
Explanation:
A product should be shut down if doing so would make the savings in fixed costs associated with the product to exceed the lost contribution. Other wise , the product should remain.
In a shut down decision , the following relevant cash flows should be considered:
1. Lost contribution from the product to be shut down
2. Savings in fixed directly attributable to the product under consideration.
$
Lost contribution from products 2
(15-10)× 20,000 (100,000)
Savings in direct fixed cos 75,000
Net loss from the drop of product 2 (25,000)
Overall operating profit will decrease by $25,000
Mark up is the proportion of cost as profit
Price = cost + (mark-up %× cost
Price = 25 + (30%× 25) = 32.5
Price is $32.5
Two years ago, Kimberly became a 30 percent partner in the KST Partnership with a contribution of investment land with a $14,750 basis and a $22,650 fair market value. On January 2 of this year, Kimberly has a $20,700 basis in her partnership interest, and none of her pre-contribution gain has been recognized. On January 2 Kimberly receives an operating distribution of a tract of land (not the contributed land) with a $18,175 basis and an $26,075 fair market value.
a) What is the amount and character of Kimberly’s recognized gain or loss on the distribution?
b) What is Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution?
c) What is KST’s basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives this distribution?
Answer: A) $3,425 B)$5,950 C)$18,175
Explanation:
a)Kimberly's capital gain = land's Fair market value -non contributed land's Fair market value = $26,075- $22,650= $3,425
b)Kimberly's basis after the distribution = basis in KST + gain - Carryover basis in land = $20,700 + $3, 425 - $18,175 = $5,950
c) KST's basis on the land =KST land's basis on contribution+ Kimberly's gain = $14,750+$3, 425 = $18,175

Lancelot Corporation manufactures tennis gear and uses budgeted machine-hours to allocate variable manufacturing overhead. The following information relates to the company's manufacturing overhead data: Budgeted output units 8,000 units Budgeted machine-hours 24,000 hours Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 8,000 units $288,000 Actual output units produced 8,500 units Actual machine-hours used 23,750 hours Actual variable manufacturing overhead costs $250,000 What is the flexible-budget amount for variable manufacturing overhead
Answer:
$56,000 Favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the flexible-budget amount for variable manufacturing overhead is shown below
The Budgeted machine hours per unit os
= 24,000 ÷ 8,000
= 3
The Budgeted machine hours allowed for 8,500 units is
= 8,500 × 3
= 25,500
Now the Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour is
= $288,000 ÷ 24,000
= $12.00
Now
Flexible-budget amount is
= 25,500 × $12.00
= $306,000
So, the Flexible-budget variance is
= $250,000 - $306,000
= $56,000 Favorable
