Which of the following situations generally exists when disinflation occurs?

Select one:
a. the rate of inflation is falling from 5% to 3%
b. the rate of inflation falling from 3% to -2%
c. 3% decrease in inflation and 2% fall in unemployment rate
d. 5% increase in inflation and 3%
increase in unemployment rate

= the rate of inflation is falling from 5% to 3%

Answers

Answer:

d. 5% increase in inflation and 3% increase in unemployment rate

Explanation:

Disinflation is a term that describes the slowing down of the rate of inflation. Disinflation will occur when inflation was rising at a high rate, and then it starts to rise at a decreasing rate.  Disinflation may be a result of contractionary measures.

Disinflation is a positive situation in the economy because it represents a corrective measure. Inflation was rising at a high rate but has since started to slow down. Disinflation is different from deflation, which is a negative inflation rate. Inflation slowing from 5% to 3% is disinflation.

Mullineaux Corporation has a target capital structure of 60 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 35 percent debt. Its cost of equity is 12 percent, the cost of preferred stock is 5 percent, and the pretax cost of debt is 7 percent. The relevant tax rate is 35 percent.
a. What is Mullineaux's WACC?
b. The companies president has approached you about Mullineaux's capital structure. He wants to know why the company doesn't use more preferred stock financing because it costs less than debt. What would you tell the president?

Answers

Answer:

a. Mullineaux's WACC = 0.60*12 + 0.05*5 + 0.35*7*(1 - 0.35)

WACC = 7.2 + 0.25 + 0.35*7*0.65

WACC = 7.2 + 0.25 + 1.5925

WACC = 9.0425%

WACC = 9.04%

b. After tax cost of debt = 7*(1 - 0.35)

After tax cost of debt = 7*0.65

After tax cost of debt = 4.55%

So since after tax cost of debt of 4.55% is less than the preferred cost of 5%, company should use debt in its capital structure.

Suppose you are conducting an analysis of the financial performance of Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. over the past three years. The company did not issue new shares during these three years and has faced some operational difficulties. The company has thus pilot tested some new forecasting strategies for better operations management. You have collected the company's relevant financial data, made reasonable assumptions based on the information available, and calculated the following ratios.
Ratios Calculated
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Price-to-cash-flow 6.20 8.06 9.03
Inventory turnover 12.40 14.88 16.67
Debt-to-equity 0.30 0.32 0.38
Based on the preceding information, your calculations, and your assumptions, which of the following statements can be included in your analysis report?
A. The company's creditworthiness has improved over these three years as evidenced by the increase in its debt-to-equity ratio over time.
B. The market value of Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.'s common shares declined over the three years.
C. A plausible reason why Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc.'s price-to-cash-flow ratio has increased is that investors expect higher cash flow per share in the future.
. An improvement in the inventory turnover ratio could likely be explained by the new sales-forecasting strategies that led to better inventory management.

The firm also had notes payable of $880,000. These notes carried an interest rate of 7 percent. Depreciation was $138,000. The firm’s tax rate was 35 percent.
What was the firm’s operating cash flow? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

Answers

Answer:

$319,460

Explanation:

Calculation for the firm’s operating cash flow

First step is to calculate EBIT and Taxes

Sales $1,140,000

Less Cost of goods sold 533,000

Less Selling costs 223,000

Less Depreciation 138,000

EBIT $246,000

Interest 61,600

(7%*$880,000)

Taxable income $184,400

(246,000-61,600)

TAXES 64,540

(35%*$184,400)

Now let calculate the firm’s operating cash flow using this formula

Operating cash flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

Let plug in the formula

Operating cash flow = $246,000 + $138,000 - $64,540

Operating cash flow = $319,460

Therefore the firm’s operating cash flow is $319,460

During 2021, its first year of operations, American Laminating Corporation reported an operating loss of $120 million for financial reporting and tax purposes. The enacted tax rate is 25%. In 2019, American reported a pretax accounting income of $40 million and applies a net operating loss carryforward up to 80% of taxable income. Which of the following is incorrect?

a. Income tax payable in 2018 is zero.
b. Net loss in 2018 is $79 million.
c. The deferred tax asset balance at the end of 2018 is $21 million.
d. The deferred tax asset balance decreases in 2019.
e. Income tax expense in 2019 is zero.

Answers

Answer: e. Income tax expense in 2019 is zero.

Explanation:

There will still be an income tax in 2019 so the above statement is incorrect.

American applies net operating loss carryforward up to 80% of taxable income which means that their taxable income is:

= 40,000,000 * ( 1 - 80%)

= $8,000,000

Income tax expense for 2019:

= 25% * 8,000,000

= $2,000,000

The new machine will cost $1,000,000 and is expected to provide a net revenue of $150,000 per year for 9 years. There is no salvage value for this machine. If MARR=10% per year, what is the exact IRR for this project?
A. 15.15%
B. 13.68%
C. 6.47%
D. 2.14%

Answers

Answer:

Option C (6.47%) is the right answer.

Explanation:

The given values are:

New machine's cost,

= $1,000,000

Net revenue,

= $150,000

Time,

= 9 years

MAAR,

= 10% per year

Now,

On taking, i = 5%

⇒ PW(5%) = [tex]-1,000,000 + 150,000(\frac{P}{A} , 5 \ percent, 9)[/tex]

                 = [tex]-1,000,000 + 1,066,200[/tex]

                 = [tex]66,200[/tex]

On taking, i = 10%

⇒ PW(10%) = [tex]-1,000,000 + 150,000(\frac{P}{A} , 10 \ percent, 9)[/tex]

                  = [tex]-1,000,000 + 863,85 0[/tex]

                  = [tex]-136,150[/tex]

By interpolation, we get

⇒ [tex]i=5 \ percent + [\frac{66,220-0}{(66,200-(-136,150)} ]\times (10 \ percent - 5 \ percent)[/tex]

⇒   [tex]=0.05 + (\frac{66,220}{202,350} )\times 0.05[/tex]

depreciation amounted to $70,000, and a loss of $5,000 was recognized on the sale. Under
these circumstances, the original cost of the asset must have been:

Answers

Answer:

$110,000

Explanation:

For depreciation, a loss or gain is realized by subtracting the selling price from the book value. Accumulated depreciation is the total amount that has been deducted as depreciation amount.

I.e., profit or loss = selling price - book value

In this case, a loss of $5000 was realized, the selling price was $35,000. The book value must have been $40,000.

$35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000

The original cost will be the book value + depreciation amount

=$40,000 +$70,000

=$110,000

Suppose you are an economist for Mattel, manufacturer of the doll Barbie, which was making an unsolicited bid to take over Hasbro, manufacturer of the doll G.I. Joe.

a. Would you argue that the relevant market is dolls, preschool toys, or all toys including video games? Why?

1. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
2. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as narrow as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
3. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is dolls, which is as narrow as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
4. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is dolls, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.

b. Would your answer change if you were working for Hasbro?

1. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
2. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
3. You would want to use the broadest definition of the market, which would be all toys. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
4. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be all toys. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.

Answer:

a.           1. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.

b.          2. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.

Explanation:

a. In order to avoid anti-trust laws, it would be best that Mattel convinces the authorities that the relevant category is all toys not just a subsection. This will show that the toys made by the new company would have a lot of competition from other toy makers across the board which would reduce their chances of being a monopoly and violate merger guidelines.

b. As the bid is unsolicited, Hasbro might want to defend against it. In which case their strategy should be the exact opposite of that of Mattel and they should try to convince the regulatory boards that they would be in the narrowest of markets which would be dolls. This would mean that the merger has a strong chance of leading to a monopoly and would violate merger guidelines.

Equivalent units for the molding department totaled 18,600 during January for conversion costs. Fifteen thousand units were transferred out to the finishing department. If the items remaining in ending inventory are 40% complete as to conversion costs and 80% complete as to materials, how many physical units are in ending inventory?

Answers

Answer:

9,000 units

Explanation:

The 15,000 units transferred to the finishing department were 100% complete with respect to material and conversion cost. The balance 18,600 - 15,000 = 3,600 equivalent units are there at the ending inventory with respect to conversion cost. The ending inventory is 40% complete with respect to conversion cost. These equivalent units have been calculated as below:

=> Physical units in ending inventory * Degree of completion with respect to conversion cost = Equivalent units

Physical units * 40% = 3,600

Physical units = 3,600 / 40%

Physical units = 9,000 units

So, the Physical units in ending inventory is 9,000 units

Consumption _____$
Investment _______ $
Government Expenditures ________$
Net Exports _____ $
Change in GDP as a result of the transaction __________ $

Answers

Answer:

Consumption $ 1900

Investment 0

Government Expenditures 0

Net Exports -$ 1900

Change in GDP as a result of the transaction 0

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

The purchase of the laptop is part of durable consumption. So, consumption increases by $1900

The purchase of the laptop is not by a business or by the government. Investment and government expenditure remains unchanged.

The purchase of the laptop from China constitutes an import activity. Import  increases. But import is a negative function of import, so net export decreases.

Total change in GDP = $1900 + 0 + 0 - $1900 = 0
