Atlantic Fisheries has an EBIT of $3,280, depreciation of $1,850, cost of goods sold of $6,920, dividends paid of $750, interest expense of $860, and sales of $6,500. What is the taxable income

Answers

Answer: $2420

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

EBIT = $3,280

Depreciation = $1,850

Cost of goods sold = $6,920

Dividends = $750

Interest expense = $860,

Taxable Income will be calculated as:

= EBIT - Interest Expense

= $3280 - $860

= $ 2420

Beatrice Markets is expecting a period of intense growth and has decided to retain more of its earnings to help finance that growth. As a result, it is going to reduce its annual dividend by 30 percent a year for the next 2 years. After that, it will maintain a constant dividend of $2.50 a share. Last year, the company paid $3.60 as the annual dividend per share. What is the market value of this stock if the required rate of return is 14.5 percent?

Answers

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

Answers

Answer:

Hi, your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but i could not find it.

Here are some explanations on ways to calculate the required amounts.

Part A

Direct Material Cost

This is a component used in manufacturing a product and is found in the manufacturing account.

To calculate the Direct Material costs, we deduct the Ending Material Inventory amount from the Total of Beginning Material Inventory and Material Purchases made during the period

Part B

Indirect Labor Cost

This is also a component found in the manufacturing Account.

Indirect labor costs are calculated by deducting the direct labor costs from the total labor costs incurred during the manufacturing period.

Part C

Total Overheads Costs

This is also a component found in the manufacturing Account.

Overheads are manufacturing expenses that can not be directly traced to the product being produced. Examples are electricity, water and factory rent. So add up these expenses to arrive at the amount overheads.

Part D

Costs of Goods Manufactured

This is an amount reported in the manufacturing account.

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured we add the Opening Work In Process Inventory to the Total Manufacturing Costs incurred during the period then deduct the Ending Work In Process Balance.

Part E

Cost of Goods Sold

This is an amount reported in the Trading account for profit determination.

To calculate the Cost of Goods Sold, we add the Beginning Finished Inventory Balance to the amount of Cost of Goods Manufactured then deduct the Ending Balance in Finished Inventory.

Part F

Gross Profit

This is an amount reported in the Trading account for profit determination.

To calculate the Gross Profit , we deduct the Cost of Goods Sold from the Total Sales made during the Trading period.

The following data was collected from the manufacturing of an auto component. It represents the diameter (in mm) of that component. What is the UCL for a control chart using this data (z=3)? show working please

2 12 11 13 16
3 11 13 14 14
4 11 10 7 8
5 13 12 14 13

Answers

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

Explanation:

a. To find price = earnings

                                 R

                price = 966,000

                                .12

   P/E ratio = 8.3333

b. Price = new earnings + current earnings

                                     R

   Price = 116,000 + 966,000

                         .12

   Price = 9,016,666.6666

   P/E ratio =      New Price      

                       initial earnings

   P/E ratio = 9,016,666.6666

The 90 days have now passed, and it is obvious to many policymakers that a recession exists because consumers are spending less. As a result of these data, the government passes a law that creates an office that will give everyone $3,000 they must spend. This office will take 9 months to create and for hiring the necessary personnel. How would the economy change in this second time period, where the data now have convinced all the policymakers that a recession exists and where the government passed a law to start expansionary fiscal policies, but the money hasn't been distributed yet

Answers

Answer:

In this second time period, people would have more positive expectations about their personal economy, and the overall economy, because they would expect the stimulus check of $3,000 to reach their accounts very soon.

This would make people a bit less cautious with their spending, despite the economic recession. Some people would even use a larger proportion of their regular salary to either pay outstanding debt, or to acquire more expensive consumer goods or assets, because they would set aside the $3,000 for daily expenses.

Calculate the absolute value of the elasticity of demand for a rise in price from $8 to $9 (which is associated with a fall in the quantity demanded from 3 to 2)

Answers

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.

Consider an incentive system that simply rewards production output. How can this system hurt an organization with a distinct bottleneck operation? What part of the organization will be hurt the most?

Answers

Answer:

The department with the bottleneck output will suffer the most.

Explanation:

A bottleneck operation is a point in the organization where everything is filtered, for example in the textile industry, it is usually where the clothes are branded, meaning the tags are sewed or printed into the clothing, and no matter how hard the other departments work, that bottleneck part of the operation can only do so much, so when you reward output for other departments instead of efficiency or searching for other parameters the only thing you'll end up with is a bottleneck department filled up with work to do and no real change in your final production output.

The United States has maintained a trade embargo against Cuba since February 1962 in response to actions taken by the Cuban government. The primary idea behind an embargo of this nature is to punish to Cuban government by restricting trade with a large economy such as that of the United States, but embargos tend to have other repercussions as well. What I'd like you to do, in 400-600 words, is explain what some of these repercussions have been, who they have impacted, and briefly explain whether or not you feel that the embargo is beneficial in the year 2020.

Answers

Answer:

In 1962, during the government of J.F. Kennedy, the United States imposed a trade embargo against Cuba, by means of which American companies and individuals were prohibited from trading or investing (even traveling) to Cuba, in retaliation for the actions carried out by the government of Fidel Castro, that he had expropriated assets of American companies and individuals on the island, in addition to aligning himself politically with the Soviet Union and threatening the national security of the United States.

This embargo has prevented Cuba from accessing a large series of goods and services that were provided directly by American companies, or with American components by companies from other nations. This has led to a serious shortage of the Cuban domestic market, causing an economic and social crisis in the Caribbean nation.

However, on the political level, this embargo has not achieved its objective of weakening the Cuban dictatorial government, but rather allows it an excuse to justify the failure to fulfill its objectives.
