Answer:

A. $500

B. $696

C. $378

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the after-tax cost of each payment

A. Based on the information given the AFTER-TAX COST will be $500 reason been that it is NOT DEDUCTIBLE based on the fact that fines and penalties does not provide a tax break

B. After-tax cost=$800 * [1-(0.5*0.37)]

After-tax cost=$800*(1-0.13)

After-tax cost=$800*0.87

After-tax cost=$696

Therefore After-tax cost is $696 reason been that HALF OF THE INTEREST will NOT be DEDUCTIBLE reason been that it was used to obtain NON-TAXABLE INCOME

C. After-tax cost=$600 * (1 - 0.37)

After-tax cost=$600*0.63

After-tax cost=$378

Therefore the After-tax cost is $378

Hodge Inc. has some material that originally cost $74,600. The material has a scrap value of $57,400 as is, but if reworked at a
Burka [1]

Answer:  If the material is reworked and sold, Hodge Inc. has a financial disadvantage of (- 4500).

Let's see why:

1) If we sell the material at its disposal value: We have a cost of $ 74600 and the income from sale would be $ 57400 =

57400 - 74600 = (-17200). We have a loss of $17200.

2) If we rework the material we will have an original cost of $ 74600, an additional cost for reworking of $ 1500 and the income from its sale would be $ 54400 =

54400 - (74600 + 1500) = (-21700) We have a loss of $ 21700.

Then comparing the 2 situations =

(-21700) - (-17200) = -4500. There is a financial disadvantage of $4,500 if the material is reworked instead of selling it as scrap.

Suppose that students at Big University buy season football tickets at the beginning of the fall semester. Everyone expects that
Elena L [17]

Answer:

A) The current supply will shift to the left

Explanation:

The supply curve shifts to the left when the total quantity supplied decreases, which results in a price increase at any given quantity.

If everyone expects that the football team will have a great season, the quantity demanded for tickets will increase, which will increase their price. But the suppliers will also hold to their tickets until a day or two before the games to increase expectations and fans' anxieties. That way the price will increase even more, and they will make a higher profit.

In March, stockholders of Herbalife Nutrition approved a 3-for-2 stock split. After the split, how many shares of Herbalife stoc
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

600 shares

Explanation:

If a 3-for-2 stock split will take place, for every 2 stocks that an investor has, he will receive three stocks. So this specific investors who owns 400 stocks will receive:

(400 / 2) x 3 = 200 x 3 = 600 stocks.

After the 3-for-2 stock split, the company will have 50% more stocks outstanding and the price of each stock should be reduced by one third. So the investor shouldn't earn any profit from this split since the market value of the investment should remain about the same (stock prices change daily whether the split takes place or not).

if Jane attends graduate school, it will take her two years, during which time she will earn no income. She will pay a total of
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

she could earn a total of $71,000 instead of attending graduate school.

Explanation:

economic costs = accounting costs + opportunity costs

Jane's accounting costs = $100,000 in tuition + $20,000 room and board + $2,000 books

Jane's opportunity costs = unearned wages - $18,000 room and board (already included in accounting costs)

if Jane's economic cost = $175,000, then her unearned wages would equal:

$175,000 = $122,000 + unearned wages - $18,000

$175,000 = $104,000 + unearned wages

$71,000 = unearned wages

Hart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The l
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Objective function:

Maximize Z: 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3

Subject to:   2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3 ≤ 450 (Department A constraint)

                    2.50P1  + 2.00P2 + P3       ≤ 350 (Department B constraint)

                    0.25P1  + 0.25P2 + 0.25P3 ≤ 50  (Department C constraint)

                           P1, P2, P3                       ≥  0 (Non-negativity)

Explanation:

The objective function is formulated from the contribution margin of the three products. For instance, the contribution of Product 1 is $30, the contribution of Product 2 is $25 and the contribution of Product 3 is $28. Thus, the objective function will be 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3.

The constraints were obtained from the departmental labour hours requirements for each product. For instance, Product 1 requires 2 hours in department A, Product 2 requires 1.50 hours in department A and Product 3 requires 3 hours in Department A. Thus, the constraint will be 2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3.
