Answer:

22.7 %

Explanation:

Accounting rate of return = Average Profits / Average Investments × 100

Where,

Average Profit = Sum of Profits ÷ Number of Years

                        = $35,000

and

Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Salvage Value) ÷ 2

                                  = ($278,000 + $30,000) ÷ 2

                                  = $154,000

Therefore,

Accounting rate of return = $35,000 ÷ $154,000

                                          = 22.7 %

Wesley, who is single, listed his personal residence with a real estate agent on March 3 of the current year at a price of $390,
Elenna [48]

Answer:

a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.

b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000

c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.

Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.

Explanation:

Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.

If the selling price is $800,000;

Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520

Tim spends his income on donuts (D) and coffee (C). Coffee is $2 per cup and donuts are $1 each. Assume that Tim has $10 to spen
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Optimal number of donuts = 5 Donuts

Optimal cups of coffee = 2.5 cups.

Explanation:

Optimal numbers of donuts and coffee can be calculated as follow

First, we need to determine the budget constraint as below

M = ( P(D) x D ) + ( P(C) x C )

Placig values in the formula

10 = D + 2C

Now make utility function as:

U(D,C) = D0.5 C0.5

Marginal Utility donuts

MU(D) = 0.5D-0.5C0.5

Marginal Utility Coffee

MU(C) = 0.5D0.5C-0.5

The formula for marginal rate of substitution

(MRSD,C)= MU(D) / MU(C)  = 0.5D - 0.5C0.5 / 0.5D0.5C - 0.5  = C/D

Now calculate the optimal consumption level  

MRSD,C = P(D) / P(C)

C/D = 1/2

D = 2C (Equation 1 )

Placing the value of D resulted from equation 1, in the budget constraint we as below

10 = D + 2C

10 = 2C + 2C

10 = 4C

C = 10/4 = 2.5

NOw place the value of C in equation 1

D = 2C = 2(2.5) = 5

Optimal number of donuts = 5 Donuts

Optimal cups of coffee = 2.5 cups.

San Diego and Orlando

Atlanta and Dallas

Orlando and Dallas

San Diego and Portland

Dallas and Portland

2. What two markets should be chosen for a second store based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 30%

Note: Cannibalization rates and net revenue increase amounts need to be considered when making this determination.

San Diego and Orlando

San Diego and Los Angeles

Chicago and Los Angeles

Chicago and Portland

San Diego and Portland

Answer:

Better Beans Coffee Company

1. San Diego's $2,750,000 and Orlando's $1,525,000 presented the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store.

2. Based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 30%, San Diego with 10% and Los with 10% Cannibalization rates should be chosen.

Explanation:

Cannibalization Rate is a measure of the impact of new products or the presence of new stores on sales revenue for existing products or stores.  Cannibalization happens when a business, like the Better Beans Coffee Company, opens a new store in a town where there is an existing store. It can also happen when Better Beans releases new coffee products.  Consumers' attention and demand for existing products can decrease, as a switch to new products or new stores takes place.
