Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Cultural similarities.

Explanation:

Cultural similarities refer to customs and special terms that for one region or country are widely accepted but not for others. Those actions or phrases could be exactly the same but carry a different or even negative meaning in different places. This is not limited to actions and terms used in day-to-day activities but also under formal circumstances.

On September 30, 2018, Corso Steel acquired a patent from Thermo Steel. The agreement specified that Corso will pay Thermo $1,00
Reika [66]

Answer: $69,959

Explanation:

The amount of interest expense, that Corso will record on December 31, 2019, the company’s fiscal year end will be calculated thus:

First, we calculate the present value of payment which will be made on September 30,2020 and this will be:

= $1000000 × 0.857339

= $857339

Then, the interest expense on December 31,2018 will be:

= $857339 × 8%/12 × 3

= $17147

Therefore, the Interest expense on December 31,2019 will be:

= ($857339 + $17147) × 8%

= $874486 × 0.08

= $69959

A newsvendor orders the quantity that maximizes expected profit for two products, X and Y. The critical ratio for both products
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

A. Product A, because it has less certain demand.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the product X (A) is the one with the highest proportion of standard deviation, that is, it has a more uncertain demand. Taking into account this condition, it is expected that the number of optimal products will be greater because it has an average and critical relationship. For this reason, it is expected that the news seller will lean towards the first product, since it will generate higher income as explained at the beginning.

Shellhammer Company's inventory records show the following data for the month of September: Units Unit Cost Inventory, September
Pie

Answer:

Shellhammer Company

Ending inventory = $712

Cost of goods sold = $2,492

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date                     Item          Units           Unit Cost     Total Cost

September 1    Inventory           100           $3.34          $334.00

September 8   Purchases        450             3.50          1,575.00

September 18 Purchases        350              3.70          1,295.00

September 30 Total                900                            $3,204.00

Ending inventory                     200

Cost of goods sold                 700

Weighted Average cost = Total cost of goods available for sale/Total units available for sale

= $3,204/900 = $3.56

Value of Ending Inventory = $3.56 * 200 = $712

Value of Cost of goods sold = $3.56 * 700 = $2,492

b) The weighted average inventory costing, under the period inventory system, used by Shellhammer is an assumption that the costs attributable to ending inventory and cost of goods sold are determined from the average cost per unit and that these the average cost is ascertained at the end of the period.  Therefore, the cost of beginning inventory and purchases are accumulated and divided by the units of goods available for sale.

Deep Mines has 43,800 shares of common stock outstanding with a beta of 1.54 and a market price of $51 a share. There are 10,000
Zanzabum

Solution:

MV of equity=Price of equity*number of shares outstanding

MV of equity=51*43800

                    =2233800

MV of Bond=Par value*bonds outstanding*%age of par

MV of Bond=1000*5000*0.96

                   =4800000

MV of Preferred equity=Price*number of shares outstanding

MV of Preferred equity=83*10000

                                    =830000

MV of firm = MV of Equity + MV of Bond+ MV of Preferred equity

                 =2233800+4800000+830000

                 =7863800

Weight of equity = MV of Equity/MV of firm

Weight of equity = 2233800/7863800

W(E)=0.2841

Weight of debt = MV of Bond/MV of firm

Weight of debt = 4800000/7863800

W(D)=0.6104

Weight of preferred equity = MV of preferred equity/MV of firm

Weight of preferred equity = 830000/7863800

W(PE)=0.1055

Cost of equity

As per CAPM  , Cost of equity = risk-free rate + beta * (Market risk premium)

                       Cost of equity % = 3.6 + 1.54 * (7.5)

                       Cost of equity % = 15.15

Cost of debt

                K = Nx2

Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2

                  k=1

                 K =13x2

960 =∑ [(8*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/200)^13x2

                  k=1

YTM = 8.5146699304

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)

After tax cost of debt = 8.5146699304*(1-0.21)

                                   = 6.726589245016

cost of preferred equity

cost of preferred equity = Preferred dividend/price*100

cost of preferred equity = 7/(83)*100

                                       =8.43

WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E)+Cost of preferred equity*W(PE)

WACC=6.73*0.6104+15.15*0.2841+8.43*0.1055

WACC =9.3%
