Due to marketing's success in business, what do management gurus think about marketing's role in a company?

To reduce cigarette smoking by 10%, the government should increase the price of a pack by 50% due to an elasticity measure of 0.2. Thus the price would be increased by $2.5 from $5 to $7.5. The long-term effects of this price increase will be greater than the short term as people adapt and may reduce consumption or quit smoking all together.

Public policy aimed at smoking involves strategies to shift demand through educational initiatives or price manipulation, depending on the elasticity of the demand for cigarettes. Studies indicate the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.2, meaning the demand is relatively inelastic. For a clearer perspective, let's examine the proposed scenario and break it down in terms of price elasticity and demand.

Firstly, when the price elasticity of demand is less than 1, as in this case, it means demand is inelastic. That is, a 1% increase in price results in less than a 1% decrease in quantity demanded. To reduce smoking by 10%, we would need a 50% increase in price due to the elasticity measure of 0.2 (10%/0.2), hence the price of a pack of cigarettes should increase by $2.5 from $5 to $7.5.

In terms of the effect on smoking 1 year from now compared to 5 years from now, if the price increase remains, the long-term effects are likely to be greater than the short-term effects. This is mainly because behavior change, especially for addictive substances like cigarettes, usually takes some time. Over a longer period, people may adapt to the new price by quitting smoking or reducing consumption.

Answer:

Wildhorse Corp. has inventory of $6,653,940

Explanation:

The quick ratio is a liquidity ratio that indicates a company's ability to pay its current liabilities when they come due without needing to sell its inventory or get additional financing. The quick ratio is calculated by the following formula:

Quick ratio = (Cash & equivalents + Short Term investments + Accounts receivable)/Current Liabilities

(Cash & equivalents + Short Term investments + Accounts receivable) = Quick ratio x Current Liabilities = 0.94 x $5,849,000 = $5,498,060

Inventory = Total current assets - (Cash & equivalents + Short Term investments + Accounts receivable) = $12,152,000 - $5,498,060 = $6,653,940

Explanation:

Since he is going to withdraw annually starting today over the next four years, the formula to use to calculate how much to withdraw a year is the formula for annuity due.

Basically, annuity refers to financial investment that pays investors a fixed stream of amount for a specified period. It of two types: ordinary annuity that pays at the end of the period, and annuity due that pays at beginning of the period.

Since our focus here is annuity due, we employ the following annuity due formula:

PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] × (1+r)  ....................................... (1)

Where

A

PV = Present value of an annuity due = $200,000

P = yearly withdrawal  = ?

r = interest rate  = 3% = 0.03

n = number of years = 4

Therefore, we have:

200,000 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+0.03)]^4} ÷ 0.03] × (1+0.03)

200,000 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1.03)]^4} ÷ 0.03] × (1.03)

200,000 = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ 1.12550881]} ÷ 0.03] × (1.03)

200,000 = P × [{1 - 0.888487047915689} ÷ 0.03] × (1.03)

200,000 = P × [0.111512952084311 ÷ 0.03] × (1.03)

200,000 = P × 3.71709840281037 × 1.03

200,000 = P × 3.82861135489468  

Rearranging, we have:

P = 200,000 ÷ 3.82861135489468

P =  52,238.26  

Therefore, $52,238.26 can be withdrawn a year.

Answer:

Manufacturing cost= $29 per unit

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Market research indicates that these headphones would sell well in the market priced at $34.80 each. Domingo desires an operating profit of 20 percent of costs.

To calculate the cost we need to use the following formula:

manufacturing cost= selling price/ (1 + mark up) = 34.8/1.20= $29

The highest acceptable manufacturing cost for Domingo Corporation to produce wireless headphones is $29.00.

To determine the highest acceptable manufacturing cost for the wireless headphones, we need to calculate the target cost. The operating profit desired by Domingo is 20% of the costs. So, we can calculate the target cost as follows:

Target cost = Desired profit / Percentage of profit

In this case, the desired profit is 20% of the cost, and the cost is the manufacturing cost. Let's calculate:

Target cost = ($34.80 / 1.2)

Target cost = $29.00

Therefore, the highest acceptable manufacturing cost for which Domingo would be willing to produce the headphones is $29.00.

The GDP after 15 years=202

Explanation:

The GDP also known as the Gross Domestic Product is the quantity of goods and services produced in a country during a certain period in time usually expressed in monetary terms. GDP usually illustrates how much the country's economy is growing and expanding.

To determine the GDP after 15 years, we can have the expression below;

F=P(1+r/n)^nt

where;

F=future GDP

P=initial GDP

r=growth rate per year

n=number of times the growth rate is applied per year

t=number of years

In our case;

F=unknown, to be determined

P=150

r=2%=2/100=0.02

n=1

t=15 years

Substituting;

F=150(1+0.02)^(15×1)

F=150(1.02)^15

F=201.88=202

The GDP after 15 years=202

Answer:

a) Operating Income = $73,000

b) Net income before income tax = $25,500

Explanation:

First part of the question is to determine the operating income or loss of the business

It is calculated as follows

Particulars                                          Amount

Sales Revenue                                  $460,000

Subtract: Cost of goods sold           ($240,000)

General and Administrative exp.       ($56,000)

Restructuring Costs                             ($58,000)

Selling Expenses                                  ($33,000)

Operating Income                             $73,000

Second part is to determine the income or loss before income taxes

Particulars                                            Amount

Operating Income                                 $73,000

Add: Interest Revenue                         $6,500

Deduct:Loss on sales of investment  ($54,000)

Income before Income Tax                  $25,500

Finally, the Net Income or loss after Income tax

$25,500 x .25 = $6,375

The operating income is $73,000 and the income before income taxes is $25,500. The income tax expense is $6,375.

The operating income (loss) can be determined by subtracting the cost of goods sold and operating expenses from the sales revenue. In this case, the operating income (loss) would be $460,000 - $240,000 - $56,000 - $58,000 - $33,000 = $73,000 operating income.

The income (loss) before income taxes can be calculated by subtracting the loss on sale of investments and the interest revenue from the operating income (loss). In this case, the income (loss) before income taxes would be $73,000 - $54,000 + $6,500 = $25,500 income before income taxes.

To determine the income tax expense, we need to multiply the income (loss) before income taxes by the income tax rate of 25%. Therefore, the income tax expense would be $25,500 x 0.25 = $6,375 income tax expense.

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Basic models sell for $ 44 per unit with variable costs of $ 25 per unit. Deluxe models sell for $ 52 per unit with variable costs of $ 25 per unit. Total fixed costs for the company are $1,323. Gabe Industries typically sells three Basic models for every Deluxe model.

First, we need to calculate the weighted sales participation:

Basic= 3/4= 0.75

Deluxe= 1/4= 0.25

Now, we need to calculate the weighted average selling price and variable cost:

weighted average selling price= (selling price* weighted sales participation)= (44*0.75 + 52*0.25)= 46

weighted average variable cost= (variable cost* weighted sales participation)= (25*0.75 + 25*0.25)= 25

Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / (weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)

Break-even point= 1,323/ (46 - 25)= 63 units

Number of contracts≅-44

The company should short 44 futures contracts.

Explanation:

Part A:

The formula we are going to use is:

Number of contracts=[tex]\frac{\beta*Portfolio\ Value}{Futures\ Value}[/tex]

Future Value=Index futures*Multiplier

Future Value=1080*$250

Future Value=$270,000

Number of contracts=[tex]\frac{1.2*20,000,000}{270000}[/tex]

Number of contracts=88.889≅ 89 contracts.

The hedge that minimizes risk is to short 88 contracts

Part B:

Number of contracts=[tex]\frac{(\beta'-\beta)*Portfolio\ Value}{Futures\ Value}[/tex]

where:

[tex]\beta'[/tex] is the new value=0.6

[tex]\beta[/tex]=1.2

Future Value=$270,000 (Calculated above)

Number of contracts=[tex]\frac{(0.6-1.2)*20,000,000}{270,000}=-44.44[/tex]

Number of contracts≅-44

The company should short 44 futures contracts

To calculate the return on equity (ROE), you need to multiply the equity multiplier (1.49), the total asset turnover (1.50), and the profit margin (5.9 percent). This will yield the ROE which should be represented in a percentage form.

The subject of the question refers to three key financial indicators: equity multiplier, total asset turnover, and profit margin.

The return on equity (ROE) can be calculated by multiplying these three values together.

In this case, the equity multiplier of Roten Rooters, Inc., is 1.49, the total asset turnover is 1.50, and the profit margin is 5.9 percent (or 0.059 in decimal form).

Therefore, you can calculate ROE by following this formula: Equity Multiplier ×Total Asset Turnover ×Profit Margin.

So, 1.49 (Equity Multiplier) ×1.50 (Total Asset Turnover) × 0.059 (Profit Margin) = _______. Calculate this to get your ROE.

This will yield the ROE in decimal form, which can be converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100.

Explanation:

Marginal and absorption costing are two different methods to deal with fixed production overheads and and decide whether or not they are included in valuation of inventory.

Valuation of inventory

Opening and closing inventory are valued at variable cost under variable costing.  Whereas in absorption costing, opening and closing inventory are valued at full production cost (including fixed production overheads).

Reconciling profits reported under two different methods

When inventory levels increase or decrease during a period then profits will differ under absorption and marginal costing because of fixed production cost.

Net Income under absorption costing = Income under variable costing + fixed production cost in ending inventory – fixed production cost in beginning inventory

(A). Assembly line in city.

Explanation:

In an assembly line manufacturing process, production is continuous. It involves adding parts to the product as it moves from one stage to another and is good for producing in high volumes.

Batch production is better for producing similar items in groups.

An assembly line in a city should be used by an entrepreneur who wants to produce high-tech plastic containers in high volumes because it is more efficient.

Answer:

Assembly line in a city

Explanation:

The question is to determine whether to start an assembly line or batch process in either a big city  or a small town

Assembly Line

An assembly line represents a manufacturing process where a product continues to move from one workstation to another while relevant parts are progressively added from one station to another until the product is completed

Batch Processing

The batch processing type of manufacturing is such that a group of products are completed simultaneously or at the same time.

Based on this understanding,

It is advisable for the entrepreneur to select Assembly line in a city because since the production of the high-tech plastic containers will be produced in high volumes, then their is need access a large amount of capital to commence.

Secondly, the type of labour that will be required to carry out such work in the factory will be better accessed in the city .

Thirdly, an assembly line is more favourable to ensure quality process for the products since they are high tech in nature and close monitoring is required.

. Direct incentives are actions that can motivate individuals or businesses to alter their behavior in a particular way, usually to promote or discourage certain outcomes. In this case, the imposition of an additional fee for using plastic or paper bags is a direct incentive designed to reduce their usage and consequently, lessen the environmental impact of their disposal. This practice encourages customers to bring their own reusable bags to avoid the extra charge, hence, fostering environmentally beneficial behavior.

Final answer:

The present value of an annuity due is used for scenario A, where the initial payment of a capital lease is made immediately upon signing the lease agreement.

Explanation:

The use of the present value of an annuity due concept would be appropriate in situations where payments are made at the beginning of each period. In the given scenarios, option A, which involves a capital lease with the initial lease payment due upon the signing of the lease agreement, fits this description. This is because the first payment is made immediately, and thus each subsequent payment is made at the beginning of the period. Calculating the present value of such a lease would require accounting for the fact that all payments are made one period earlier than they would be in an ordinary annuity. Therefore, scenario A is where the present value of an annuity due would be used to calculate the present value at the date of incurrence.

From the question, the sale for cash of office equipment with a book value of $59,856 at profit of $5,634 will be recorded in the Cash flows from investing activities section of the CFS based on the actual cash that entered the company. In this case, the total cash received from the sale and which is the actual cash that entered the company in respect of this transaction is the addition of the book value of $59,856 and the gain of $5,634 which is approximately $65,490.

Therefore, the total amount reported in the Cash flows from investing activities section of the statement of cash flows is $65,490.

I wish you the best.

Final answer:

When buying equipment on account, a business debits the asset account for equipment and credits the liability account, reflecting an increase in assets and liabilities respectively. This maintains the balance in the T-account and adheres to the accounting equation.

Explanation:

Understanding T-Accounts and Transactions

When a business bought equipment on account, it means that the business acquired equipment without immediate cash payment, promising to pay the supplier in the future. In accounting, this transaction is recorded in T-accounts by debiting the asset account for the equipment, as it represents something of value the business now owns. Simultaneously, the liability account is credited, reflecting the business's obligation to pay the supplier. Debiting increases the asset's balance, while crediting increases the liabilities, keeping the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity) in balance.

For example, if a company purchases a $5,000 piece of equipment on account, the equipment account (asset) is debited by $5,000, and accounts payable (liability) is credited by $5,000.

T-Account Structure and Bank's Balance Sheet

The T-account layout includes assets on the left and liabilities and owner's equity (net worth) on the right. A bank uses T-accounts to manage and track its financial instruments such as loans, reserves, and securities. A bank's balance sheet also reflects these categories with assets like cash and loans made, liabilities such as customer deposits, and the net worth which is the difference between total assets and total liabilities and is also known as bank capital.
