On March 4, 2009, the SEC reached an agreement with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc., and issued a cease-and-desist order to settle charges that the company fraudulently inflated or otherwise misrepresented its earnings for the fourth quarter of its FY 2003, and each quarter of FY 2004. By its improper accounting, Krispy Kreme avoided lowering its earnings guidance and improperly reported earnings per share (EPS) for that time period earnings per share; these amounts exceeded its previously announced EPS guidance by 1 cent.
The primary transactions described in this case are "round-trip" transactions. In each case, Krispy Kreme paid money to a franchise with the understanding that the franchise would pay the money back to Krispy Kreme in a prearranged manner that would allow the company to record additional pretax income in an amount roughly equal to the funds originally paid to the franchisee.

Answer:

The absolute value of the elasticity of demand = 2.664.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Change in price = $1 increase ($8 - $9)

Percentage of change in price = $1/$8 = 0.125

Change in quantity demand = 1 decrease (3 - 2)

Percentage of change in quantity demanded = 1/3 = 0.333

Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in price

= 0.333/0.125 = 2.664

b) Since the absolute value is more than 1, the elasticity of demand is price elastic.  A change in price causes a greater change in the quantity demanded.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly 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

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

price setting firms

product differentiation

profit maximisation

high barriers to entry or exit of firms

downward sloping demand curve

Answer:

UCL = 14.624

Explanation:

Data Given:

z= 3

And beside the value of z, we are given:

Number of samples = 5

And observations.

First of all, we have to calculate the mean of all the samples.

Sample 1 Mean = [tex]\frac{10+12+12+14}{4}[/tex] = 12

Sample 2 Mean = [tex]\frac{12+11+13+16}{4}[/tex]  = 13

Sample 3 Mean = [tex]\frac{11+13+14+14}{4}[/tex] = 13

Sample 4 Mean = [tex]\frac{11+10+7+8}{4}[/tex] = 9

Sample 5 Mean = [tex]\frac{13+12+14+13}{4}[/tex] = 13

Now, add all the means and find out the mean of the sample size.

Mean of the sample size = [tex]\frac{12+13+9+13+13}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{60}{5}[/tex] = 12

Secondly, we have to find out the maximum and minimum of the observations in each sample.

Sample 1 (max, min) = (14,10)

Sample 2 (max, min) = (16,11)

Sample 3 (max, min) = (14,11)

Sample 4 (max, min) = (11,7)

Sample 5 (max, min) = (14,12)

Thirdly, we need to calculate the Range of each sample.

Range = Max - Min

Range 1 = 14-10 = 4

Range 2 = 16-11 = 5

Range 3 = 14-11 = 3

Range 4 = 11-7 = 4

Range 5 = 14-12 = 2

ΣRange = 18

Now, sum all the ranges and divide it by the number of samples n.

(Range-bar) = ΣRange/n

Range-bar = 18/5

Range-bar = 3.6

Now, we need value of A2 for the sample size of 4. So, it can find out from the table of control chart constants which is attached for your reference.

A2 = 0.729

Now, we have all the data required to calculate the UCL.

UCL = (Mean of the sample size) + (A2 * Range-bar)

UCL = (5) + (0.729x 3.6)

UCL = 14.624

Answer: CPM/PERT charts are very resourceful tools that help schedule and manage complex projects

Explanation:

CPM/PERT charts are very resourceful tools that help schedule and manage complex projects. A critical path analysis is vital when considering this as it determines the failure or success on the projects. They can also be used for assessing the problems faced during implementation of plans.

PERT is a variant of Critical Path Analysis that takes a more skeptical view of the time needed to complete each project stage.

Price of Bond, when yield to maturity is 5.2% =$1081.18

1.3  Change in price of Bond = (Decrease in price of bond / price of bond ) * 100

= $7.47 / 1088.65 *100

= 0.69%

Change in price of Bond when yield increases by 0.2%( i.e Decrease in price of bond)

Answer:

1,200 hours

Explanation:

Solving mathematically this will be :

y = ax^b

where,

y is the cumulative average time required to produce x units

a is the time required to produce the first unit of output

x is the number of units of output under consideration

b is the log of the Learning Curve % divided by Log 2

The firm use 150 hours to work on the product during the second month

Amount of time used in the first month will be calculated as :

y = 400(8)^(-0.322)

  = 204.8 hours (average)

Total for 8 units = 204.8 hours × 8 units

                           = 1,638.40 hours

Amount of time used for the total months to manufacture 18 units :

y = 400(18)^(-0.322)

  = 157.74 hours (average)

Total for 18 units = 157.74 hours × 18 units

                            = 2,839.32 hours

Therefore,

Hours to be used in the second month = Time on 18 units - Time on 8 units

                                                                 = 2,839.32 hours - 1,638.40 hours

                                                                 = 1,200 hours

So, the firm use 1,200 hours in total for the 10 units. Which gives an average of 120 hours per unit

Answer: $16.69

Explanation:

Using the Dividend growth model, the value is:

= [Dividend 1/ (1 + required return)] + [Dividend 2/ (1 + required return)²] + [Terminal value / (1 + required return)²]

Terminal value = Dividend after 2 years / (required return - growth)

= 2.50/ (14.5% + 0%)

= $17.24

Dividend 1 = 3.60 * ( 1 -30%)                                Dividend 2 = 2.52 * ( 1 -30%)

= $2.52                                                                                     = $1.76

Market value = (2.52 / 1.145) + (1.76 / 1.145²) + (17.24/1.145²)

= $16.69

Answer:

PV= $35,590.69

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

A= annual payment

FV= {7,900*[(1.055^5) - 1]} / 0.055 + {[7,900*(1.055^5)] - 7,900}

FV= 44,090.62 + 2,424.98

FV= 46,515.6

Now, we can determine the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 46,515.6 / (1.055^5)

PV= $35,590.69
