Your research tells you that households earning $55,000 or more are most likely to be interested in a new shoe store. Households
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

COFFEE SHOPS would have a larger potential customer base.

NEW SHOE STORE is geared toward individuals with more disposable income.

Explanation:

The logic here is quite simple, households earning $25,000 or more are likely to be customers of the coffee shops. This also includes households earning $55,000 or more. So the consumer base of coffee shops is very large.

On the other hand, only households earning $55,000 or more are likely to be customers of the new shoe store. Since there are fewer households that earn $55,000 or more, their consumer base will be smaller and it should rather focus on people with more disposable income.

Even if 90% of the people earn above $55,000 and only 10% earn between $25,000 - $55,000, the consumer base of coffee shops will always be larger since it includes almost everyone.

6. Harris Corporation is an all-equity firm with 100 million shares outstanding. Harris has $250 million in cash and expects fut
maria [59]

Answer:

Using the discount cash flow model to value the company, we can say that the company is worth $85 million / 12% = $708.33 million

Each stock should be worth approximately $708.33 million / 100 million = $7.0833 per stock

If the company uses the cash to finance new projects, then future cash flows should be approximately $97.75 million, and the company's value = $97.75 million / 12% = $814.583 million. This represents a 15% increase in value. The stock price should also increase by 15% to $8.1458 per stock.

If the company instead decides to repurchase stocks using all the cash, then it could repurchase 35.29 million stocks. Since we are assuming that the company's future cash flows wouldn't be affected by this decision, then the company's total value will still be $708.33 million, but each stock would be worth much more = $708.33 / 64.71 million stocks = $10.95. This represents a 34.36% increase with respect to the other alternative of investing the cash.

The issue here, is that this situation is not very realistic. It is not normal for a company to use all of its cash to repurchase stocks since it would result in a huge increase in stock prices (stock prices are set by supply and demand). Also, this would also result in a sharp increase in the cost of equity due to higher risks.

Which example best describes how a bank injects money into the economy? A bank opens a savings account for a customer. A bank ap
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B, A bank approves mortgage for a customer.

Explanation:

Injecting money into the economy means increasing money supply in the economy. It means more money is in the circulation. So when a bank approves a mortgage for a customer, it means bank is releasing money which will be in circulation and becomes a part of the economy. Mortgage is basically the loan or money which a bank or financial institution lends to a person or company on an agreed upon interest rate in exchange of their property with the condition that the bank will sell the property to get its money back if the borrower fails to return the loaned money. So the best example of how a bank can inject money into the economy is to approve the mortgage for a customer.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$31,000; $10,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Fair value of the equipment = $22,000

Book value of the equipment = $12,000

Original cost of the equipment = $45,000

Accumulated depreciation = $33,000

Fair value of delivery truck:

= Cash paid to Midwest Chicken for delivery truck apart from equipment + Fair value of equipment sold in exchange

= $9,000 + $22,000

= $31,000

Gain recognize on exchange:

= Fair value of equipment given in exchange - Book value of equipment

= $22,000 - $12,000

= $10,000
