Answer:
1) Present Value = $10,381
2) i = 3%
3) n = 5
4) i = 4%
5) Annuity amount = $72,558
Explanation:
Given that;
No. Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
1. ______ 2,600 8% 5
2. 507,866 135,000 ___ 4
3. 661,241 170,000 9% ___
4. 540,000 78,557 ___ 8
5. 230,000 ____ 10% 4
Assume that interest is compounded annually and that all annuity amounts are received at the end of each period, interest rate, and n number of years EV of $1, PV of $1, EVA of $1 PVA of $1, EVAD of $1 and PVAD of $.
we know that
Present value = Annuity amount × Discount factor at i% for n years
1) Present value = 2600 × Discount factor at 8% for 5 years
from the annuity table ( n = 5, i =8% :- 3.99271)
Present Value = 2600 × 3.99271 = $10,381
2) 507,866 = 135,000 × Discount factor at i% for 4 years
Discount factor at i% for 4 years = 507,866 / 135,000
Discount factor at i% for 4 years = 3.761970
Check Present value annuity table in period 4 row for 3.761970
i = 3%
3) 661,241 = 170,000 × Discount factor at 9% for n years
Discount factor at 9% for n years =661,241 / 170,000
Discount factor at 9% for n years = 3.88965
Check Present value annuity table in 9% column for 3.88965
n = 5
4) 540,000 = 78,557 × Discount factor at i% for 8 years
Discount factor at i% for 8 years = 540,000 / 78,557
Discount factor at i% for 8 years = 6.8739895
Check Present value annuity table in period 8 row for 6.8739895
i = 4%
5) 230,000 = Annuity amount × Discount factor at 10% for 4 years
from the annuity table ( n = 4, i =10% :- 3.169865)
230,000 = Annuity amount × 3.169865
Annuity amount = 230,000 / 3.169865 = $72,558

You are a manager of a soft drinks company that is planning to go head to head with Coca-Cola to increase market share. Your strategy is to increase your product ranges that you plan to offer to Mass Market. Along with the extension of the products and product lines, you want to be responsive to the different geographic regions you plan to serve. So, your main focus is to balance the extended product categories along with the responsiveness to the geographic regions to serve. Currently you have a functional structure which may not be suitable for maintaining Products along with Geographic Responsiveness. So, you are required to IDENTIFY which Organizational Structure (For Example: PRODUCT BASED DIVISION, REGION BASED DEVISIONS, MATRIX STRUCTURE, etc.) would be best suitable if your strategy intends to: a. Lowering cost b. Increasing responsiveness c. or both
Answer:
Explanation:
Organizational structure is what is best for
1. lowering cost:
what would be most suitable here is the product based division structure. this is because the main goal is the launching of new product lines and also getting ranges that are in existence to be bigger. the divisions are smaller here, which is given to each single product line which may have their own R&D and response divisions. Efficiency is increased, product development cycle is reduced and so also is cost lowered.
2. increasing responsiveness:
what is best here is region/geographic based structure. this is as divisions that are smaller are given to distinct areas. this increases region specificness as well as the fact that it takes care of any grievances. the team here have good knowledge of the needs of the specific region and their socio cultural background.
3. both
the matrix structure is best when their is a goal to lower cost and at the same time increase responsiveness. the divisions are of two dimensions, primary and secondary. this therefore increases sharing of resources and also cost reduction. it uses both if these goals to enhance efficiency.

Poor implementation risk
Process risk
Equipment failure risk

There can be quality check required to ensure that new packaging is not compromising quality of the product. There can be demand decline risk as the new packaging is rejected by the customers then the company can loose large amount of revenue. There will be heavy cost incurred for the extension of existing plant but if the implementation and management is poor then the new packaging will not be up to the mark and this may hit the brand reputation.
Donna Bader, Globalization opponent Donna Bader spent her final year at college studying the effect of various economic factors on the economy of developing nations. Based on the results of her study, she concluded that globalization does these countries more harm than good. Upon what assumption does Donna's conclusion rest? Donne assumes that ________.
a. there are no factors other than globalization which influence the economic conditions of a country
b. the welfare of individuals matters less than the economic prosperity of a nation
c. globalization does not affect the employment rate of developed and developing countries
d. the wages paid to all individuals within developed countries are equal
Answer: there are no factors other than globalization which influence the economic conditions of a country
Explanation:
Globalization is the movement of goods, services, human beings, technologies, capital etc around the world. Globalization promotes interactions between people in different parts of the world.
Since Donna Bader, whom is a globalization opponent believes that globalization does more harm than good to countries, her conclusion could have been gotten from the assumption that "there are no factors other than globalization which influence the economic conditions of a country".
In this scenario, such economy are only influenced by globalization and in a case whereby there's trade dispute or war between the country and other countries which could impede imports or affect communication or other things which can disrupt globalization to effectively take place, such economy can be affected.
A production possibilities frontier (PPF) is bowed outward as a result of:____.1) constant opportunity costs.2) increasing opportunity costs.3) decreasing opportunity costs.4) scarcity.5) choice.
Answer: 2) increasing opportunity costs
Explanation:
The Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) measures how much of one good an economy would have to give up to be able to produce more of another good.
Resources in the economy are scarce so a trade-off needs to be made to determine how much resources would go into one good and how much into the other. This is why when more resources go to one good, less of the other is produced.
This is what the PPF shows. As we produce one more of one good, we produce less of the other good meaning the opportunity cost ( not producing the other good) of producing more of one good increases as we keep producing it.

c. If revenues are less than expenses, the company has a net loss and contributed capital increases to balance off the loss.
d. If revenues are greater than expenses, the company has net income and retained earnings decreases
Answer:

Explanation:
Retained earnings is defined as the portion of income a company retains for internal operations, reinvest into the business, or repay debt.
It is derived by removing dividends paid to shareholders net income of a company.
So of the revenues of a company are less than its expenses a company will have no choice but to use its retained earnings to run internal operations.
This reduces the retained earnings of the company.

Southern Atlantic Distributors began operations in January 2016 and purchased a delivery truck for $40,000. Southern Atlantic plans to use straight-line depreciation over a four-year expected useful life for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, the deduction is 50% of cost in 2016, 30% in 2017, and 20% in 2018. Pretax accounting income for 2016 was $300,000, which includes interest revenue of $40,000 from municipal bonds. The enacted tax rate is 40%. Required: Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above: 1. Prepare the journal entry to record income taxes in 2016. 2. What is Southern Atlantic’s 2016 net income?
Answer:
1) December 31, 2016, income tax expense
Dr Income tax expense 104,000
Cr Income taxes payable 100,000
Cr Deferred tax liability 4,000
2) net income = $196,000
Explanation:
Southern Atlantic's taxable income = $300,000 (pretax income) - $40,000 (interests on municipal bonds) = $260,000
income tax expense = $260,000 x 40% = $104,000
income taxes payable = $104,000 - deferred tax liability = $104,000 - $4,000 = $100,000
deferred tax liability = accounting depreciation expense x tax rate = ($40,000 x 25%) x 40% = $10,000 x 40% = $4,000
net income = total income - income tax expense = $300,000 - $104,000 = $196,000

The amount of time it takes to process a single customer will help the manager determine the maximum amount of customers they can process in the lunch hour. On average during lunch hour there are 12 people in line to approach the window. 4 people per minute leave the taco stand after receiving their food.
Fill in the blanks below.
I =________
R =_______
On average how long do customers wait in line? Calculate you answer in minutes. (Enter the value only. Do not enter text.)
Answer:
R = 4 customers per minute
I = 12 customers in line
average time (T) = 3 minutes per customer
Explanation:
if we follow Little's Law and its assumptions: L = λW
L = average number of clients in line = 12λ = arrival or departure rate = 4 per minuteW = average waiting timeW = L / λ
average waiting time = average number of clients in line / average number of clients arriving (or departing) = 12 / 4 = 3 minutes
Little's Law can also be written as I = RT
I = L
R = λ
In order for a managerial team to develop an effective strategy, they first need to assess the conditions under which the organization is operating under and existing in. There are several tools available to managers to accomplish this end. One of these tools, Porter's Five Competitive Forces, allows managers to assess the level of competitiveness within a particular industry. According to strategy expent Michael Porter, business-level strategies originate within the five primary competitive forces of threats of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, threats of substitute products or services, and rivalry among competitors. This exercise will test your knowledge of Porter's Five Competitive Forces. However each term or phrase and read the description. Next, drag and drop the term or phrase into the correct position to correspond with the related competitive force from Porter's Five Competitive Forces. 1. Internet 2. Investments 3. Music4. Glass 5. Advertisement A. Threat of New EntrantsB. Bargaining Power of Suppliers C. Bargaining Power of BuyersD. Threat of Substitute Products or Services E. Rivalry Among Competitors
Answer:
1. Internet - Bargaining power of buyers
With the internet buyers are much more knowledgeable about goods and services as well as having access to many more vendors. The internet has therefore increased the bargaining power of buyers.
2. Investments - Threat of Substitute Products or Services
Investment into an industry could mean that other companies are being financed to provide the goods and services that the other companies in the industry already create. This is a threat of substitute products and services.
3. Music - Threat of New Entrants
Music is dynamic and keeps evolving such that new entrants are a constant happening. These new musicians could attract the audiences of other musicians so it is a threat to entry.
4. Glass - Bargaining Power of Suppliers
If the specific kind of glass is not easy to get or is sold by one or few companies, this would mean that the bargaining power of suppliers is high due to the scarcity of the glass.
5. Advertisement - Rivalry Among Competitors
Advertisement is a way of telling consumers to buy a product from the company advertising instead of its customers. Advertising is therefore a medium of expression for rivalry amongst competitors.

Calculate the AT- WACC with a 60% debt and 40% equity financing structure.
Answer: 9.9%
Explanation:
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) represents the cost of financing the business through debt and capital.
It is calculated as;
= (Weight of stock * cost of stock) + ( Weight of debt * after-tax cost of debt)
After tax cost of debt;
= debt interest * ( 1 - tax rate)
= 10% * ( 1 - 35%)
= 6.5%
WACC = (40% * 15%) + ( 60% * 6.5%)
= 9.9%
